Don't let the rapline fool you, they've all got really nice singing voices.

[@FikiNom]

truth

[@amanacer3088]

Omg when I first found BTS & was watching things I had seen like you know rapline goofing off like the switch parts I Need U & was like damn they really can’t sing but then I heard I Know at FESTA & other clips where they actually sing for real & was like 😭 I hate y’all for making me think y’all couldn’t sing 😭

[@ryanhenrychin1032]

I was shocked when I'm shocked for seesaw too. I'll probably shocked again for every single song they put out. Hahahahahahahha

[@chasingautumns]

RM is my second fave singer in BTS. Have you listened to "Mono" yet??? A masterpiece!!!

maybe because hes a metal musician rock music has a lot of metaphoric lyrics and symbolism

If he hasn't seen seesaw then this is reaction is his equivalent.

[@cora7480]

Oh, you're such an intellectual! 🤗I love the way you got pretty much everything even without being that deep down the rabbit-hole of the Jungian theories. When you realized it was the Shadow rapping at the end, I shouted "yes!!!". Lol So, you know the next trailer they are releasing (Feb 2-3) is gonna be called Ego, right? It'll be the third song that deals with Jungian concepts. So I am here to tell you: PLEASE DO RM'S PERSONA MV before that. It's one of my favorite songs lyric-wise. And to contrast it with Shadow is even cooler! Also, about Yoongi's Shadows, I think there are two that catch my attention the most after reading the lyrics, watching the MV and remembering previous songs and interviews he did: greed (I wanna be king, I wanna be the top, I want it all mine) and social anxiety (I think the MV depicts pretty clearly how stressful their lives must be, full of flashlights and grabbing hands). 💜☂️

Well said! The flashlights is two-fold too, the anxiety and his dislike of people recording at the shows instead of watching them and really watching them and being in the moment.

[@SimplyAnca7]

I remember him talking about shadows in the 56th episode of Run when they read the letters/ poems to other members. I had to repeat multiple times the letters of V and Suga... now it's even more clear what he wanted to say.

[@sariel8406]

BTS trailers are always full songs and solos. Seasoned Armies know this and have been going crazy after we found out that a trailer will be dropping. And yes Yoongi can sing. All idols take singing lessons as part of their training.

[@troycornaro]

full song ? Not anyways!

[@rvermillion8188]

Not always a full songs, but trailer could be an intro, but this is the first time they do interlude. But surely it never goes below 1 mins 20 secs..

[@RoseZalica]

I found out that the trailer would be a full song mmhhhm maybe 3 hours before it was published and i FREAKED OUT i literally got so excited it shocked me so much XD Yeeeahhh my first comeback is kinda more exciting than i thought it would be.

[@jordyn2906]

Oh man seeing you lose your shit over this is amazing. Welcome to your first comeback! Honestly, same though. I think I had a heart attack when I first watched it. The bass drop and the complete and utter beat switch at the end, holy shit. Him rapping as his own shadow, amazing. There's just so much to take in. It's a very intense experience, especially with the visuals of the mv. I really like this song and the lyrics and the honesty behind it. It's very raw. And I think your interpretation is pretty spot on. I remember after their performance at the AMA's in 2018, Suga said that he cried in the shower because he suddenly felt all the pressure from their success and how he was going to have to endure that in the future. And I feel like this song is an extension of that feeling. Of being afraid to succeed because there can be so much negativity that comes with success, but especially from within. It also reminds me his song The Last from his mixtape, it has very similar themes (particularly fame, success, social anxiety,). On a lighter note, seeing you being confused over Suga singing was great. He also sings in Outro: Tear with autotune and in his solo song Trivia: Seesaw. Hope you can make it through the next month with your sanity intact! You nice, keep going. Annyeong~~ 💜💜💜

[@marar8045]

“Sorry for cursing so much” We all did! Yoongi’s been singing since HYYH

[@i-landsleepaid2452]

It’s okay, I freaked out when he started singing too and I’m already excited for him to do this song live. Also, I noticed too in the lyrics, he starts speaking as himself, then when the sound changes to that much darker, heavier sound, it sounds like he’s speaking as his shadow, first mocking Yoongi by repeating the first lines of the song, then tells him they are one and he won’t ever leave him alone. If you notice too, theres a part in the video there Shadow Yoongi is in the crowd beneath Real Yoongi.

[@blaublaubeere]

As someone who has anxiety and is perfectionist this really hit hard, I still cant get over the raw emotion in his voice. Made my heart ache and also the visual side of this video is so damn full of brilliant symbolism. Also I think you got it right, that there are two sides of him, or more like the real Yoongi is the one above the crowd and then the shadow, which to me seems to be the personification of his inner demons, stands in the middle of that hostile crowd (hater/media/people who constantly analyse and criticize his every move) like his shadow belongs with them ad in the end of the video his shadow disappears among the crowd or merges with it...this is really something else. This is my first comeback too and like you, I was surprised how exited and jittery I felt while waiting for the video...and I also watched first as a whole, then reading the subs and then just taking in all the visual aspects...and again just because. But unlike you, I did all that while kinda crying, bc yeah this really made my heart hurt. And I kinda freaked out too when he started to sing even though I know he can do it, it sounded so good. Check out his Seesaw, it's one of my favourites from him/them, the lyrics are very deep and interesting in that too.

[@Thaology]

I took it as uncertainty, doubt, anxiety or just fear itself. Fear of falling or failing. This hit me really hard too! Was refreshing to read your comment as everyone is commenting about BTS or Suga's personal success woes. We forget that BTS are showing us the Map of the Soul and it's about everyone and their own shadows whatever they may be too!

[@blaublaubeere]

@@Thaology I think there's a saying about the higher your social standing is the lonelier/afraid you are but I cant remember how it goes properly (or it could be that its a saying in my native language and thats why I cant seem to be able to put it into english words). But I think something like that might describe the feel of this song, because when you are on the top, you are kinda protecting something you already have and fear losing it/not being able to go even higher but when you are at the bottom fighting your way up you have nothing to lose so the pressure is different.Although not necessarily any less terrifying. Or perhaps that's just me rambling... Anyways I agree with your point about them showing the map of the soul and aahhh this is one of the reasons I fell for BTS, like how relatable this song can be for everyone but at the same time it's also highly personal for their own journey.

[@jashandeepkaur8203]

it was my first comeback too and being a yoongi stan ..i was so overwhelmed and emotional when i see yoongi in thumbnail..i thought wow soo yoongi goona be more in it and then i played it ,it was all him 🥺

[@sailorstarrr]

In Jungian psychology the Shadow is the part of yourself that you hide because you don't feel safe expressing it (contrasted with the Persona which is a set of characteristics you adopt because society approves of them). But for characters who outwardly express those hidden qualities (like aggression) and reject the traditional Persona, the Shadow self is actually the vulnerable part that they try to suppress. The process of Individuation includes embracing all parts of the Self. I didn't realize he was rapping as the Shadow at the end so thanks for that. 😉

[@teedub878]

I absolutely love Suga's depth of emotion. He doesn't seem to show it outwardly on a daily basis but his songs on the otherhand ,whew, are so deep, so revealing of the emotions he feels. His music/lyrics makes you feel like he is reaching out with both hands towards you to grab you, is pulling you in with a giant bear hug and saying this is me, this is what im all about. Love it!

[@strawberienameko]

T W ikr! It's when we truly get to know him.. his inner thoughts that he rarely shows.

He is talking about the price he has to pay for achieving his dreams. The brighter the light the darker the shadows he has. The price he has to pay as no one told him that it is lonely at the top and now he is afraid that he might fall down from the top.

[@smileCHEEKYsmile]

[@materidouska286]

Great reaction man. Loving your interpretation. I find lyrics in this interlude to be rather chilling. Suga can be very raw in his delivery and that´s one of the reasons why I love and admire him so. His message in this song is clearly linked to what he has been rapping about already years back on his mixed tape - about chasing a dream and trying to find a purpose in life and happiness as an artist, always running in a dark tunnel, trying to reach the light at the end, realizing that all ambition, hard work and getting there can´t fill that big hole inside, thinking that maybe dreaming in itself is way better that actually reaching your dream/ goal in life because getting on top doesn´t feel the way you imagined > loneliness, pressure, fear of failure and letting people / fans/ BTS down. He must have felt like this for years but back then it was content of his solo AgustD mix tape, now it might be a general theme of the whole comeback - dark side of their fame and what came with it.

[@teganlampp8099]

I appreciate you so much for acknowledging the key change and how he becomes the shadow rapping. I caught that the first listen and been waiting on someone to elaborate on it.

[@Maria-ir1wq]

The whole shadow and persona thing are from a psychological theory by Carl Jung They use his studies of humans personality, self consciousness, dreams and society to make their songs I hope I wrote this right 😂

[@bettytang-ng2476]

Yes, Suga was singing. FYI, all three rappers in BTS can sing, they just won't admit it.

[@pambarab5506]

The part when you was questioning if yoongi can sing !!! that was hilarious ! You were like focusing on the screen trying to figureviut if the face is really for yoongi !!! Yes he is a rapper and can sing !! All of them are .. the vocalists like v and kookie can rap too !!

[@StarOpal]

I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this, but the rotoscoped/glitch letters that appear is ORUL82? - the name of BTS' first full album or where the group started (2 Cool 4 Skool is technically a single album), also the name of the intro track that has the lyrics "Put your hand on your heart And ask what you dream was What it really was." I think this pairs nicely with Suga's other solo trailer Nevermind. In that track its about the struggle of pushing towards the goal of getting to the top, where Shadow is the pressure of being or staying there. If you like how Suga takes on another voice in the song I, again, recommend First Love (but I won't say more than that so I don't spoil it).

[@mitzykasing7408]

Compared to all of those other reaction videos out there. I think yours is the best. You said all the words I wanna hear. You talk like you know what is going on. I like that 👍🏻

[@laila893]

Next one ‘SEESAW’ by Suga then. He sings, indeed :)

[@dilaylad1903]

Yoongi's best quality is his ambition... but his ambition is also his weakness. He stated several times that he is terrified of it overpowering him and turning him into something he does not want to be. The first part is about how, despite his ambition to go higher, he cannot help but fear the consequences of it being consistantly fed by his growing success; and the second part is his ambition being unleashed and telling him that he can't escape it and is doomed to succomb to it. So yeah, definitely a darker concept for this album!

[@devikey2382]

I love seeing everyone shocked and speachless after saw the trailer😂😂😂

[@1obsessionafteranother794]

Are you aware that there’s a whole schedule of events leading up to the album release? You can find it on their Facebook page

[@Dixecharm]

Suga is a rap KING! His versatility is beyond amazing...

[@heyg0ld]

I feel like ALL the Shadow references, both in the lyrics and as images, represent both Yoongi's shadow selves (flaws, self-destructive thoughts, greed, insecurities, etc.) AND those fans who have succumbed to the shadow of obsession by invading his privacy, grabbing for him, thrusting cameras in his face, thinking they own and are entitled to him. So those masked figures are his insecurities figuratively and those obsessed fans more literally. Both try to drag him down. The shadow Yoongi rapping at the end says "I am you and you are me," as the darker side telling Yoongi he can't get rid of his shadow, but it's also like how obsessed fans go so deep as wanting to possess their idol, and merge with them (often through murder-suicides so their souls can be together in the afterlife). Also, I notice that 'I am you, you are me" is used often in Korean pop culture as an expression of romantic love. Like twin souls, inseperable. Which just makes the concept way more twisted and intense. This is heavy af and I am HERE FOR IT! I like the darker, more broody or melancholy or heavy BTS music as well. Great reaction!

[@AngelaSealana]

Suga sings on several tracks. Love your reaction!!!!!

[@Elektrita9]

I find it so fascinating that we as older army (age based) get so inspired and hyped up. I mean not every artist can do it, but with BTS everybody can relate in some way and that is just so amazing

[@sariel8406]

This song addressed multiple issues, from saesangs, pitfalls of being at the top and his personal battle with Depression, even dissing Army. He has said in an interview that he doesn't think his Depression will ever go away. The last minute of the mv where the beat moved faster and visuals shifted to something sinister, that is a clear reference to his Depression talking to him. The lyrics say it all. His Depression is his Shadow. According to Jung, Persona is the public face. Shadow is the opposite - our hidden side, or dark side. So you are right. How he dissed Army? Suga asked Army (in vlive) who attended their shows to stop putting up their mobile fones to record, and to watch BTS with their eyes instead. Refer to that last scene with all the fones. I'm pretty sure the 3rd album to MOTS will deal with "anima" and "self".

[@dianalog4760]

I wonder how much his social anxiety still effects him, too. That shit doesn't entirely vanish, even with intensive therapy and repeated positive experiences. My eyes are always drawn to Suga when his face and body language and behaviour express his discomfort. It's part of who he is, and he's an amazing artist in spite of/because of it.

[@rvermillion8188]

The shadow never go away from him. From his 'persona' as Suga, the shadow is perception, expectation, stalkers, medias, fake friend. For his Yoongi side, this shadow form as anxiety, loneliness, and depression.

[@mooneyes7234]

the metaphorical interpretation of the dark figures as his shadow or his dark sides is quite obvious but there is also a lot more literal interpretation of them being his fans, specifically stalkers. the scene at the beginning where all the figures stand in front of the hotel doors looking through the peepholes, that shit actually happens to them a lot. those hands always reaching towards him when he's in public, the phones always pointing at him, all of that I believe is a huge part of the dark side of his success that he wanted so badly, not just his inner turmoil.

[@rainbowng1814]

I think he's confronting his own shadow and his struggle with fame. It's honestly amazing.

[@1obsessionafteranother794]

Anyone else think this Lyrics about “you are me” “this do you know”... and then the viewer is the one in the crowd having camera flashes in our eyes... BTS & ARMY go hand in hand, as high as BTS go we go, if BTS have the eyes of the world on them, the eyes of the world are on ARMY as well

[@clairezhuang6344]

“Is that... is that Yoongi??” LMAOOO sameeeee

[@decoraven825]

So many ways you could look at this song and meaning

[@lizzysmom8899]

My 2 cents on the cell phones: 1) Yoongi has said in concerts that he wants people to watch with their eyes, not their phones. 2) Yoongi has said he suffered from social anxiety so being in crowds is very difficult. Can you imagine how a person who already suffers feels having phones and cameras in his face everywhere he goes? That last scene feels like he is being consumed by the phones/cameras.

[@kv502]

What I appreciate about BTS so much is that people and fans started to get into their lyrics unlike before when we listen to kpop songs, we only focus on the catchy beat and chorus and the sound basically. But with BTS, we learn to appreciate the impact of their lyrics. I respect them so much for excellently using music as their platform to express themselves and make a statement and a movement.

There are so many meanings to this song.. and I love how everyone interprets it differently as it shows how genius the lyrics are. What breaks my heart a little is when he says 'Don't let me shine' because Yoongi means shine so one of the possible meanings is that he says he can't be himself what also goes well with the 'I wanna be ME' and it hurts me. :( 💜

[@Michelle-bk2hx]

Suga’s versatility is incredible - he’s such a talented, complex person and I love that he’s always open to experiment musically. He says that he tries to write a new song pretty much everyday, and I feel like that hard work and passion really shine through in his music. Great reaction - I really enjoy hearing your thoughts and theories! This comeback’s going to be the biggest one yet - we’re even getting another trailer (my guess is jhope outro: ego) and a full single before the album drops! We’re so spoiled 😁

There is a song SUGA sings during Love Yourself concert, and if you remember Outro: Tear, he sang a verse there as well. Great reaction. You are like most people who did not realize SUGA could sing, or just shocked that he is singing a hard chorus in a rap song. Definitely Fake Love and Mic Drop impressions, but the origin of the beat comes from "Ok R U L8 2? album where RaM does a thing with that same beat like 2014 or 2015..? They are going back to their roots and conveying the dark side in this new album.

FWIW, I think silver hair/light clothes = "Suga", blonde hair/yellow jacket and dark clothes = "Agust D/Shadow" and brown hair/hoodie = "Min Yoongi". Yes, Suga has sung before (as mentioned, "Seesaw", but also in "Outro: Tear" and "First Love"), but this has a very different sound. Considering we had RM with "Persona" and Suga with "Shadow", I'm looking forward to "Ego" featuring J-Hope. IS IT FEBRUARY YET?

Shadow concept appeared to be even better than I expected hehshsh

I can finally watch this!! I've been so busy. I LOVE this reaction, I LOVED your reaction to Suga singing because I feel like it's a huge deal. I think usually when he sings it's a more subtle part where he's not meant to be the main focus, or he's being silly. He kind of rides the line between being silly and seriously singing in the Otsukare Song, and in his solo Seesaw he sings a bit, but not to this extent. Not seriously, rawly singing. That part really hit me in Interlude: Shadow. I definitely think the main theme of Shadow is that Suga is still, ongoing, dealing with his own shadows and demons. But the interesting thing about the imagery portrayed is that it kind of tells a second story about how the media doesn't exactly help his struggles. All of his demons on top of dealing with the pressure of people literally pointing cameras at him 24/7. There's a part in the lyrics you didn't comment on that sticks with me the most from the song, while he's singing: "The moment I face myself brought lowest / it so happens that I'm flying the highest." (The Korean is hard for me to translate, but that's how they've translated it) ... Like, he's telling us, even though I'm at the top of my game, I'm still facing my hardest struggles. Which is something I think a lot people, artists or otherwise, relate to. How often it is that, coincidentally, we fight the hardest battles during what should be the happiest parts of our lives. Or, at least, that's how it struck me! As for the Light vs Dark thing--People have also been commenting about how it's like Suga is portraying the multiple facets of his public persona in this video. That fine line between who he is as Suga of BTS, who he is as a solo artist called Agust D, and who he actually is as the real human being Yoongi. I don't have much of an opinion on this theory, but it's kind of interesting to think about. Sorry for the long-ass comment. Thanks as always for your reaction x) 고마워요!

A first comeback is always so exciting! And what a huge cb you are experiencing! This trailer is incredible, Yoongi is brilliant - Map of the Soul: 7 is going to be EPIC. :)

[@yaraynavila]

Of course he can sing all bts can sing including rm and jhope. Like i said react to tear his voice is amazing in that song too

[@jenniehenshaw2800]

Hey, you got it. A lot of people don't realise at the end it is his shadow speaking to him and that they cannot be separated. I love this, looking forward to the rest of the comeback, they are Kings!

[@livp7090]

I always forget how hard this song goes until I listen to it again

[@sheryl3462]

There are so many theories out already on this. I feel like its past meets present in some ways. The lighter look saying "I want to be..." is Yoongi back in the day voicing his dreams of making it big. While the darker is Suga of BTS today with thier wins and popularity. In the early days it was dreaming big, where now they are big and realize with the popularity comes the worry of falling. I also saw in the comments of another video where someone feels like Shadow is answering the questions RM asked in Persona. All I know is this was hella good and I so cant wait for more! This is my first comeback too and im so so excited!💜

[@xmv99]

You pretty much got it all. Since both persona and shadow are supposed to be part of who you are, you can't run away from them, at the end he realizes he can't run away from himself

[@clthewanderer]

I am so jazzed for this comeback! This will be my first BTS comeback too and I already preorder all 4 versions of the new album. So excited to see more reactions from you!
