BTS - Blood Sweat & Tears Explained REACTION

[@sherwynphilip]

I'm 42, a psychologist and a high school guidance counselor. My journey with BTS began in 2014, thanks to my niece and 3 nephews who introduced me to them. I was drawn to BTS primarily because, as an uncle, I felt the need to understand and connect better with our kids at home, to learn about the things and the people they're interested in, and to gain insight into how I and the other adults in the family could better guide our kids in their road through adolescence. This journey into BTS realm was so far from what I had initially envisioned. What I once thought would be just another week-long music review session with our kids turned into something so much more because I would soon find out that BTS was creating a whole new universe for their generation, where music and literature and the arts are used so cognizantly and purposefully to inspire both social awareness and self-discovery. So, let's just say I became as huge a fan of BTS as my niece and nephews, which leads me to this: discovering your channel, and how it has now become one of my favorite KZbin channels to watch. I have always wondered, from when BTS began to stamp their mark on Western mainstream media in early 2017, how new fans and supporters would be able to get to know the boys and their work well enough, given that there's so much BTS content from the years before that they maybe had to see and learn. I'm always interested to learn about new ARMY, and their journey of discovery. Your channel is maybe the best example to learn just that. First, because you're cerebral and interested. Watching your reaction videos is such a treat because you actually, truly mentally process the BTS content that you react to. Watching every step of your BTS journey is like watching nature gain more color and light each time. In a way, your videos are an ideal step-by-step course in BTS appreciation for anybody who wishes to discover this universe called BTS. Second, you're refreshingly articulate. I highly recommend your channel to our kids at home and to my students because I know that when they watch you, they won't just see another reactor doing the usual reaction. When they watch you, I know that they will actually learn something (good vocabulary and diction, and insightful commentary, to name a few). Furthermore, you have a knack for setting up a good progression of videos to react to that it almost seems serendipitous. Your lineup of BTS reaction videos seem to follow an arc that I find interesting because it feels so much like a carefully planned narrative. I'm excited to see more of your reactions, and to go through your journey with you. #DTParkerFanHere

[@sherwynphilip]

P/S: I hope you could maybe find time to react to the MV of "Spring Day." In BTS discography, Spring Day is considered to be the queen of BTS music. I'm not gonna spoil your impending reaction by telling you why it's called the queen of BTS songs, and why this particular song is the heart and center of BTS' message. So I recommend that after you react to the MV, you could perhaps check out the best MV analysis of Spring Day, a link to the video is listed below. kzbin.info/www/bejne/boS7k2iFZbmJns0

I really appreciate the kind words. I'm glad you enjoy watching. I'm just regular guy who was kinda lost in life until I started slowly going down this rabbit hole. It's been life changing. I haven't been this excited and curious about anything in a long time. I get to learn about culture, art, philosophy, togetherness, and loving oneself all from one place. Sometimes inspiration and happiness come from the most unexpected places. Much love 💕

@@sherwynphilip wow you said everything I want to say. Thank you 💜💜

[@hananana1155]

sherwynphilip actually the real reason that spring day became the queen of bts songs is how it is related to Sewol Ferry Incident back in April 2014 , even the clock on the laundry room shows the time of when the crew stopped the rescue, the video u suggested only focus on the other symbols not the hidden one that is the Sewol Ferry Incident I think : [2020] What you STILL DON'T KNOW about BTS SPRING DAY MV even the most popular explanation : BTS Spring Day MV EXPLAINED | Sewol Ferry, Snowpiercer & Survivors , is better explanation , ofc the best option is to watch all of them. it was hidden meaning and even RM didnt confirm it cuz at that time government was censoring everything related and there was a chaos.

Welcome to Bantan University, thought you were finished with your education, no sir, you have just started learning about art, literature, philosophy , language and self awareness. Thanks to 7 boys from Korea l now donate to charities, walk in nature, sit by the river just to think, eat new and different food, l notice the clouds in the sky , but best of all l love myself for who l am. There is always a new subject to learn about and don’t forget revision of previous subjects. What a wonderful world we live in.

I just remember reading demian on sparknotes while in math class. Bts make you want to educate yourself it's ridiculous. No lie, if schools asked army to analyse a music video, army would walk in with a whole pin-up board, string connecting each scene to relevant themes. 8 literary books and psychological studies, several documentaries, a web comic and a catalogue of live stages. All presented in APA referencing

Next time you need to start with "I Need You" mv & explanation and go on foward to understand everything because all BTS eras are somehow connected. I need You is where everything starts.

[@greygreygray]

I don't think it is wrong to watch BST first because it is mostly a pretty self contained story I think.

[@lux3226]

@@greygreygray I agree. While BS&T does fall under the storyline, like all of BTS' music videos (including the storyline ones), they have multiple meanings you can absorb. I like the idea of watching a music video and getting one meaning, and then learning something more or even completely different when going through a second time, with the backbone of the storyline guiding you, making you pick up on small clues and hints you may have missed the first time through that coincide with the story. I like the reaction of "oh! I remember that! I totally missed it!"

[@greygreygray]

@@lux3226 yes a lot of BTS videos have a storyline meaning and then a second meaning. So I think it is best to interpret the video outside of the storyline context first and then later look at it through the storyline.

And hope this lasting more longer time. I appreciate to all of BTS members and also all related person of these guys. Send my love to your reaction and your findings. Let's go together

[@pimepi3613]

Hi boy, greetings from Argentina! I really discovered your channel by chance and I really loved your reaction to my babies so here I am following you in Patreon too. Anyway, in relation to this video there are many things you should know to understand it. In the first place Big Hit always goes ahead of us, these geniuses had everything absolutely planned since before the debut of BTS, so nothing that the boys take out is hung or has no importance or meaning! Big hit created a whole Marvel-style universe, universe he called BU! In this universe he tells us a story. It is based on 7 friends who have known each other since adolescence and spend, live and suffer their passage through life. A group of friends who are happy being together but who separately must each fight with their ghosts, fears and problems. A story where there is death, pain, tears, terror and time travel! Each member has their own story and together they have another. It is very important that you watch the videos in order so you can understand a little everything that is happening. The order would be as follows: 1- i Need you ORIGINAL VERSION 2- Prologue ON stage (SUB english) 3- Run 4- Young for ever 5- The 7 short stories of Wings (there are 7 because this was the first album in which the boys had their first solo, composed and produced by themselves and that contribute or add to things in their lives and stories) The solos They are: 1 BEGIN JUNGKOOK, 2 LIE JIMIN, 3 STIGMA V, 4 FIRST LOVE SUGA, 5 REFLECTION RM, MAMA J HOPE AND AWAKE JIN. 6- BOY MEET EVIL 7- BLOOD SWAET AND TEARS 8- The 3 HIGHLIGHT REEL (SUB English) 9- serendipity 10- Wonder EUPHORIA 11- Singularity 12- teaser fake love 1 and 2 13- fake love extended version 14- EPIPHANY You should always try to watch the videos until the end, because there are always hidden scenes. The story is told in pairs: JUNGKOOK and suga, v and rm, Jimin and J Hope. Jin alone (he is the protagonist and who travels in time because? You will find out when you see everything! También. Each member is also related to one or more elements: raise the fire and the piano, Jimin the water, the tub the arboretum , J Hope the pills and then the snickers, V the phones, RM the mirrors, KOOK the boys and Jin the camera and a diary. Sorry for writing so much and for my poor English !! I hope you can see the videos and get into this world from which there is no way out !! Greetings !!!

BTS is like a professor to us , they have us thinking and reading . They teach us about music, philosophy, Greek mythology, classical literature, and art. It’s like a BTS University

[@joyceeb5015]

This has actually became a running joke inside the fandom ARMY that we didn’t sign up to study, science, philosophy, etc. But we have been studying different topics and subjects because BTS doesn’t give everything in one go. We always look for clues. 😂 And even the words or number in their older videos have meanings and you will only realize it when they have dropped something. 😅

"Why do I feel so inspired right now?" Welcome to the world of BTS lol Ever since I found them, I've been more motivated in every aspect of my life. It's just one of the many reasons they have so many dedicated fans. They give inspiration to those around them to do better, be better.

I just finished reading Demian earlier! I did it in just one sitting and now my head feels like its been divided into pieces LoL. But really, BTS is on another level when it comes to their music. Starting from the lyrics, choreography, visuals, and these awesome references gosh. No one does it like them. Btw I really love your reactions! It's so good we got another fanboy in this house that looks deeply into their music and them as true artists/musicians. Keep it up! 💜

[@camiwhite7625]

I got something else for that explanation...the angel with black wings and Jin crackling face are references to the movie BLACK SWAN... my head exploted when I Knew it!

[@justacandle557]

I remember a couple years ago, Big Hit made a notice that they were hiring and looking specifically for people with storytelling and creative direction experience and everyone was like "Are you kidding? You don't need help with storytelling, you already have a team of masterminds, please don't make the bts universe more complicated. All we want is a freaking translator to put captions on Bangtan Bombs & Episodes!" It was so funny at the time, but I think that was actually back when TXT were trainees and the company was looking for storytellers to help with TXT's debut and the storyline they were developing for them, not for BTS. Big Hit really puts a lot of emphasis on storytelling for their artists. It's Awesome. Comeback trailers are important. The most important comeback trailers and teasers to watch are: Wings Short Fims 1 through 7, Boy Meets Evil, Highlight Reels 1 through 4, Fake Love Teaser #1, and Singularity. When you're a new fan, it's a lot of catching up and it can feel like you need to watch everything really quickly, but doing that can be overwhelming and you might miss details if you rush. Remember that you have time, and there is no need to rush. Whether you figure out the whole storyline now or next week or next month, it's going to be awesome discovering it whenever. However, I do recommend watching certain videos in a sort of marathon format because that's the way they were released and you get the full effect better that way. For example, the WINGS Short Films were released leading up to the WINGS Album release and they are all interconnected but it's hard to keep track of the little details if you don't watch them one after another right away (with subtitles, the subtitles and quotes are important, but are not on the official videos so you'll have to find fan translated versions by searching for " [title] + eng sub " ). I guess, my biggest tip to a new fan who is checking out all the BTS videos, is to watch stuff in the order it was released, and try to check out songs from the corresponding albums at the same time because BTS sidetracks tend to be just as important as lead singles and title tracks. Like, in the WINGS Short FIlms, every film has at least one quote from an older BTS song.

Hi DT, I enjoy your reactions- some videos I have never seen before, so I get to watch it with you for the first time as well. I just wanted to point out that--don't forget to feel the music as well! Not all of their songs have such grand meanings, they also just make you feel. Make you vibe. Make you want to dance. Make you say "God Damn!". Their songs take you on an auditory journey that expands your musical self, as well as your mind.

I read Damian for a college proyect 4 yrs ago now, and it was sooo interesting I really fell so in love with this book that I had to read twice, jaja, and when someone asks me what to read Damian is my recomendation, and my advice for that is to read it with an open mind and very carefuly to really understand and apreciate the message behind the story... When I first read it was with another mind until I met BTS 2/3 years later... That new knowledge and perspective changed my life forever...

No one asked but listening to this explanation just reminded me how crazy Nietzche actually was...like dude deadass thought he was a god (or a “super-human”) by the end of his life He saw himself as better than god and would have his protagonists “kill god” or claim that “god was dead” Was interesting to learn from a philosophical perspective but made me think he was a bit loopy by the end there

[@Tomodachi91ve]

I actually like many of his premises, but this is not my mother language and it's hard for me to explain myself. But the "god is dead" and so on, it's an analisis on morals and what moves humans to do correct and moral things. Is it fear? is it real goodness in oneself? etc.

[@gabrieleDATA]

I don't think Nietzsche mean that he is becoming god. It's more like his critique on ppl thinking that god or any other belief is not needed

[@elora512]

I don't think that was what it meant with "God is dead". I'm not him but I heard from a philosophy lecture that it was a prediction that more of us will detach ourselves from religion. Although he _was_ mentally unstable by the end of his life.

[@onlyfacts8801]

@@Tomodachi91ve You're right, Nietzsche's "God is dead" is more about : Why did humans need a religion in the first place? To have a well ordered society, with common ways to tell apart what's good from bad? To have something to believe in (for instance not being scared of death because "don't worry there's an afterlife")? To invent myths to understand the world better (since science couldn't, and still can't, explain everything)? To not feel the void/absurdity of existence too harshly? Many philosophers from the XXst century have made a similar analysis, that religion is slowly shrinking in advanced societies because many realize beliefs are not needed anymore...

If you were an army since at least 2015, you may have experience the frustration (and fun) of watching their mvs and video clips and trying to piece everything. The amount of fan theories, one led to another, and some inspired the others to dig deeper. This has been going on for years and you will notice that some "hints" were drop on their previous videos that led to the current videos and it's just mind blowing. Every comeback is a festivity of events. Most armys are just enjoying the ride, while some were creating their theories, and others are being the crackheads that we are creating memes that reflects our current feelings like confusion and excitement. In bts videos, nothing is coincidence. Armys know better now and will disect every new videos that will come out to check for any hints or connection to the ever growing BU. Never knew anyone that does things like bts is doing now.

[@luzcartagena6869]

Did we tell you RM is a certified genius? No? Damn, we should have started there, lol.

I loved your reaction! Also, I recommend reading "Demian", it's such an interesting book. But when it comes to "Blood, Sweat & Tears" the content is much wider than this music video. The whole album is called "Wings" (as you could expect, knowing the concept) and it contains 7 solo songs by each member, each one telling different story (connected to BU). Another marvellous thing about this era are Wings Short Films (when speaking of Oscars... you must check them out!), which are 7 trailers (one for each member) released in the form of aesthetic, symbolic mini films, that make the story even deeper. I know everything seems confusing and complicated at first (it really is, actually), but I can see that your eyes and heart are wide open for new things and that's really all you need. Your curiosity and your questions will lead you through this artistic, intellectual journey, that BTS has to offer. Let's stay inspired! Have a nice day~

6:08 can I just say it has been 4 years since blood sweat and tears came out and I have watched the mv about 7382 times since then and haven’t realized the two doors Maybe it’s time to get glasses fr

[@rylieswilson8943]

패리대Feride I did not realize the two doors either

[@haidx19]

These boys never fail to amaze me.... This is not just an MV...its history itself.

[@welenlee6053]

Well done DT for the well explained reaction to Blood Sweat and Tears....am new to BTS ( accidentally found them on FB -ON- during my country’s lockdown in March’20...am following your reactions since. BTS helped change my thinking ( lost my husband a yr ago to cancer) with their songs especially how to love myself. I’m happier now. Thanks and looking forward to more.😊

[@nilodae1605]

i love your reactions! im an ARMY so it gets me so happy when somebody gets us and BTS' Impact from their music, individual characteristics, messages, talent and artistry. never shallow nor superficial.always profound and has depth...

[@marynwest4601]

When I started watching BTS (2 years ago) was more because of the way they danced and singed. Now, thanks to you, I'm learning more and more about them and their music. I'm an old lady and never would I thought I'll be getting into Kpop music. How can you not like what these guys do. I love all of them but my favorite ones are Jimin and Jikook. Jimin is my baby. Keep showing us more good stuff. Thanks DT I love you man.

[@BDaTDaSADaNDaIME]

I am really glad that unlike others you are realy digging their works instead of watching visuals and emphasise with their lyrics. Seriously they need an oscar.

[@riajhart]

I love your reactions, man. I'm really happy you're in this journey

[@theajane6444]

BTS is raising the consciousness of the planet...one word, one MV frame, one rap bar, one high note at a time. They are brilliant...and God (or whatever name you have for the Divine Intelligence/god/source) bless Bang Si-hyuk for plucking the seven unlikely boys out of the idol trainee milieu and partnering with them to bring us all here. It's astonishing.

[@heather7053]

“Now I wanna know things!” Lmao mood after every video they release which leads to multiple viewings with and without subtitles and then going to find explanation videos😂💜

[@luzcartagena6869]

Spring Day & Spring Day explained next...those two videos pushed me into the fandom IMMEDIATELY.

[@kellybinder7]

Embracing your darkness within is the only way to recognize the light. Truly embodying this mindset will bring rebirth to life

[@maria_elena_2659]

“ Now I want to know things!”😉 Really appreciate your reactions. I’ll be turning 61 in a couple of days, on 2/6, and I started down the BTS rabbit hole about a year ago. I’m obsessed with their music/performances. 😊💜💜

[@tamannabora]

The first BTS mv I saw and I fell hook line and sinker for these gorgeous talented boys!!!! My favorite MV!

[@kobretti5328]

It’s amazing what you may find out when you get deeper into BTS MVs. It’s mesmerising and mind blowing 🤯💜 I’m glad I can do this on your channel. It’s by far my favourite so I started watching from very first BTS video you reacted to and working my way up to present time haha I had to 😉

[@Mitchis_Euphoria]

Fun fact about it, at the end jins face cracks and he kisses the statue angle.And that same exact thing happens in the movie black swan.So bts music videos really do connect even years later. So I think it’s cool that the music video connects with the movie black swan.The movie black swan is about a dancer struggling which can also be connected to black swan lyrics.It can be connected when the black swan lyrics talk about losing passion being the first death.Im always amazed on how well bts storyline connect. Like I wonder if Bighit and bts planned there whole story line and carrier bc they’re story line is done so well.💜💜

[@hananana1155]

someone else who saw the connection, yes , thats what I am saying, I feel like jin is related to Nina like we can see jin as the white swan now, but if thats the case then the whole story line might be an illusion u know what I mean ???

[@Ahjusshi_Brown]

I loved this explanation, did a great job of tying every reference up

[@idelkispuentes4335]

Suga: Let’s go to the Oscar😂🔥🔥🔥

[@maiyang1991]

ohhh!!! I think it's almost time to introduce him to the BU storyline

[@jimgiminiesuga5581]

YES, their storyline and hints make us curious and keep making some research and learn about it. Everytime their songs and mv came, dictionary views always go up high and the books that we thinks it's related were always sold out. BigHit even sell their recommendation philosophy, historical, and self-love books on their site (and some book of philosophy books that RM read) to us for read and learn. Even thought it's not bighit entertainment related or neither their job to commercial it, they do it because the book were indeed good and have great message to ourselves to learn alot of thing that we usually didn't bother and don't want to. Because of that some writer's were thanking BTS for recommending their books and even remake the book just to put special thanks to BTS.

[@classical7]

Welcome to BTS x ARMY. Everything connects up until this present era/comeback/new album. You nice, keep going! 😁👍💙

[@nadilynn9944]

oh and thank you for finding joy here with the rest of us.

[@happiness4vr]

Mesmerizing and Captivating and Real. Life embracing it with appreciation.

[@jananjaja4156]

u r such a mood srsly lmao. ty for ur reactions. ty for digging deep, I am so done with ppl judging and thinking they know it all when they dont even bother to know .

[@Jane-ul6km]

Welcome to the journey.... This is just a part of the journey.... There's more to explore😏😏

[@whyme2427]

Spring day is waiting💜

[@yen-8680]

Oh I CANT WAIT you react and watch SPRING DAY and its mv explaination. Spring day is such a beautiful song and the backstory is even more powerful!

[@hjg1773]

i love bts and their songs..

[@PrincessKoriandr]

This is a while UNIVERSE of backstory and content. You are in for a fun ride

[@robinkitchen2182]

BTS are ARTISTS in every way; every medium BTS are amazing storytellers.

[@lauradiaz7799]

Thanks for your reaction, please finish the introduce to BTS member 🤗

[@alperry02]

This is why bs&t is my favorite music video and Wings my favorite era. The symbolism is just unreal! And this is one of my favorite explanation vids for Bs&t but it honestly only cracks the surface of ALL the meaning in this mv. The Japanese version has even more symbolism!

[@shintaamalina2504]

Being a BTS fan have a LOT of advantages, really! If you are in to dig deeper into their crafts, one wouldn't want to leave without regrets. Many people who claim to "leave the fandom" or "don't want to support BTS because they are no longer the same" have never been in for their arts. Thank you for your reactions, you are such a mood! Be careful that not many videos about BTS are reliable out there, so seeing you getting exposed to good videos nowadays is such a relief. Also, explanation videos of BTS are like proofs of why the K-pop label really doesn't do them justice. Therefore we ARMYs appreciate more the term "Korean group" instead of "pop boy band" or "K-pop group" because if you do learn about them deeper, such categories wouldn't do their works justice at all.

[@iamme1566]

Welcome to the rabbit hole of BTS World! Best line I heard today -‘they deserve and Oscar!’ 🤣

[@kathasgard]

There is a whoooooole universe there..you need to watch all the theories videos about bts- Demian , spring day - the one who runaway from Omelas etc.... welcome to the crazy world of ARMY!!

[@rein_army]

I know that blood sweat & tears have deep meaning & that it’s based on demian & that there are biblical references...I also know that it’s about temptation & I read the mv theory too but I’ve never seen this specific explanation video yet since I became an ARMY on 2017 ... so I learned some stuff that I didn’t know before. Wow cool!! This is why I love BTS so much!

[@inshiedisoma6490]

You should react to BTS storyline summary + explanation by xceleste. It's great! 😊

[@lsandora5]

Yes!!! Mind blowing! But he would have to see more MVs first.

[@Cheri1983]

@@lsandora5 no i actually think he should watch the explanation first then do the videos since he cant react to the japanese ones and they tell a huge part of the story at least this way he'll get as complete a story as he can

[@elwindhale3501]

up

[@greygreygray]

He should actually watch all the storyline MVs first.

[@TH-hq6sj]

Yeah it's very difficult to explain to a muggle why BTS are amazing. There are layers upon layers upon effort upon thought. And it's inspiring. Seriously. We all felt it too. I wanted to learn and grow more. BTS literally have become my gate into the world, a Global Citizen, armed with the resources to know myself, face myself, love myself & speak myself =) it's free, it's empowering, it's mood lifting, and it's so pure in its intent to help that army want to share this experience with others. BTS: the world's biggest secret club lol. When you get it, you get it, and there's no going back

[@lifeofeverything460]

Army! he's going through a rabbit hole guide him properly. 💜💜😁

[@kawthreot]

BTS in another world, they made a musical masterpiece , they made something that no other artist could make music, lyrics, dance , vocal's and rapper's , and most importantly, they have very noble manners , BTS is another world 💜💜

[@luisa4224]

theres an explanation video for every MV they release lol its always super interesting :) i love seeing you inspired!! thats why we love them.. glad you can relate now, as she said in the vid, the choreo and music are always suuuper good; but we gain so much just following their journey its mindblowing, wait till you see Spring Day and its explanation

[@МаринаПетрова-п8о]

The bad news here is that this explanation video actually explains only on layer of the symbolism in this video. It explains the current era at the time. But it is also, along with the short films that a part of it, a very important part of Bangtan Universe storyline. The scenes and symbols can be interpreted that way too. I think it's brilliant. Amazing storytelling!!!

[@joemsgee8647]

They have a purpose.... That's why their music can touch your soul

[@selenas8717]

When I started listening to BTS my analysis went skills went from 0 to 100 I loved analysing, researching and learning... like this is because of the so called “boy band” 🙄🙄

[@Maria2006001]

To me this is why so many people are invested and engaged with BTS (ARMY is famously passionate) coz they've made these previously 'highbrow' topics more accessible to ordinary folk like us. Even the artists commissioned for "Connect, BTS" are pleased that their works will be viewed by more people because of BTS' endorsement. Museums in S. Korea have mentioned that everytime RM visits a museum many people follow suit. If you are going to watch explanation videos for Spring Day, please also consider to watch this one created by Italian ARMY. It's called "What you STILL DON'T KNOW about BTS SPRING DAY MV". It's endorsed by Dr. Colette Balmain, one of the scholars who organizes conferences around BTS. And it was featured on a lot of Korean broadcasts 2 yrs ago. This explanation video focuses more on the connection to the Sewol ferry tragedy, which is the main reason why the song is so close to many Koreans' hearts. Other explanation videos that touch on Snowpiercer and Omelas are also very good. My point is just that it's good to have many inputs to enrich the appreciation for Spring Day :) Not many people watch this video because it's in Italian, but there are English captions. I really pray you also give this video a chance (no other big reactor has ever filmed a reaction to this yet). Here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKO3ZZSVe9xppqc. Thanks in advance for considering.

[@vibhu7567]

Every ARMY feels that way. They need something huge, a very huge award, appreciation, applause and whatever is there out there in the world

[@mafe02marian]

I can feel you 👌👍 There’s so much more explanation to that MV 💜
