BTS - Dis-ease | Reaction | 방탄소년단

[@icebergi]

j-hope composed* and co-wrote this song along with rm, suga and jimin. funniest part, he accidentally spoiled it in a live before we even knew the BE album was coming out. he was working in the studio and the song playing in his headphones was so loud everyone in the stream could hear it. only after it was released did people realize where it was from. the layering in this song (especially the bridge and outro) is INSANE. each time i listen to it i find something new to amaze over in the background.

[@jamais_vu3]

hahaha and the staff had to come to his room to tell him and he went "shit"

[@icebergi]

@@jamais_vu3 also in jungkook's birthday live where he tried dancing the butter ft. meg the stallion choreo. hobi king of spoilers 😭

[@SFBL1]

If all his music sounds like this, I need to check out his solo work!

[@crystalsnow1138]

I have a question. So many people say J-Hope produced this song but on the album credits Brasstracks is listed as the only producer. This happens on a lot of BTS songs where people say members of BTS produced the song when they aren't listed on the credits. I'm not discrediting them as producers, but I also think the producers who BTS work with also deserve the credit too.

[@lovelys0014]

Yeh ...i watched that vlive...😂

[@Eyy_shan9]

This track points out how much we’re overworked - not simply by our jobs, but by ourselves. BTS pinpoint that feeling of never quite being able to turn off your brain. “Errday do ma thang, damn if I fail,” J-Hope raps. “I keep growling, I tap the rotten rope / I feel unsettled, this is a disease / Physical things are a stun given to me by my career.” RM, king of bilingual wordplay, hits us with a particularly good one here: The word for “work” in Korean, 일, sounds like the English word “ill.” “My heart needs a holiday too,” he raps. “Gosh, just think of work as work / I’m ill, yeah, I’m work itself / That friend called ‘rest’, oh I never liked him. / How much do you have to earn to be happy?” ©Credits to the rightful owner. Some of my analysis were deleted and this is from a fellow creators online.

Is that bbygangmag?? 😅😅😅

[@eemamiya2005]

AMAZING

[@LeeDee5]

I love this album. “BE” was a much needed album during the pandemic.

[@chrissturkenboom6080]

You are so right. BTS'S Album BE is so important to me personally. I like all their albums but, this one hits differently. Thanks for saying that. Warm greetings from The Netherlands 👍💜🍀🤘🇱🇺🌷🤗

[@dinaarmymom9145]

I think it's up there with being their best because of the musical style differences and cutting edge for them as a group. Each person added their personal style and the mix if different sub units. 💜

[@Lola-193]

Indeed!!!! It saved me so much. 💜

[@SnapCracklyPop]

I love Dis-ease. It J-Hope’s baby. When you listen to it, you get surprised by where it takes you because it sounds like one way then it moves into another way and then takes you back. I like the retro feel of the way each of the rap line’s verses progress. My favorite part is the bridge and I was waiting for that part to see if you felt elated and surprised by it like I was at first listen, Jimin ended up coming up with the melody of that part on the spot when he ad libbed during… a recording session I think (?). Anyway, a cool song from the BE album which released November 2020 and was written and produced by the guys during the pandemic to express their own hard times with us which kind of makes us feel not alone and encourage us during the tough times. That album is kinda like therapy during the pandemic.

[@dinadanefari3283]

JIMIN didn't come up with the melodie annoying ass people. he hummed a bit and someone else made it the bridge was made between hoseok, rm and jimin and another dude.

[@thatsonolife]

@@dinadanefari3283 no need to be rude though. You can clarify without being rude about it.

[@ps0613]

It's a play on disease and dis-ease (absence of ease), speaks about the uneasiness they felt during the pandemic and not being able to work

[@imajinallthepurple]

BTS have a way of combining what are essentially different music genres in every song, that I've never come across before. It's one of their great appeals to me.

[@hbadsadmad]

bts' lyricism is a very profound part of their work and i think knowing the lyrics makes everyone appreciate the songs even more, but nothing wrong with just grooving to them if thats what youre most into of course!! (however, i hope you don’t worry abt the length of the vid - i’m sure absolutely no one will mind you going through the songs more than once if u want to catch it all) Dis-ease is a play on disease: as in we/society are sick from overworking "im ill, im work itself" and dis-ease: as in uncomfortable, with not being able to work because of the pandemic (and they worked tirelessly anyway, a testament to the very message of the song)

[@thatsonolife]

I very much second your point. BTS lyrics are so good to be ignored. Love that you love the music but also give the lyrics a chance.

[@seec4856]

Yes please don't ignore the lyrics.

[@harmonyfaery]

per doolsetbangtan, “일/il” also means 1, so it could also mean “i’m #1”. wouldn’t be their first bilingual triple-entendre!

[@bbiberry]

@@harmonyfaery yes! there are so many great analyses on this single line. namjoon's lyricism is genius!

[@selena5903]

The Korean name of this song directly translates to “disease”, but for the English title it has a dash ( - ), making it also mean “uneasiness” or “uncomfortableness”. Dis-ease is one track from their “BE” album which talks about their experiences during the pandemic. A mix of sadness and hope. Another *chef's kiss* 😚🤌 Can't wait for album reactions!!

[@coolweeb2858]

Jhope is like the main producer of this truck and you can feel his vibe and style on the song + Jimin made the bridge in less than 5 minutes thank god another producer heard him and asked him to make it or we won't hear this legendary bridge , I actually LOVE this song I don't get it when they criticized it it's fun and new unlike the very repeatable beats and styles

[@annavarghese1807]

Just a little correction,jhope is not the producer but the main lyricst

[@Dominik_jester]

​@@annavarghese1807 he was the writer and the composer

[@IThink2Much]

If I'm not mistaken, the BE album is made up mostly of songs that the guys were already working on individually. When they decided to do BE because their tour was canceled due to Covid, they pooled their songs together and turned them into group songs. At least I think that's what I remember hearing them say at some point. If I'm wrong, somebody please correct me. The version of Dis-ease that Hoseok spoiled on his vlive was the solo version he was working on so it sounds different. He had his headphones on and thought the sound was only coming through them, but we could hear it, too. Someone had to come and tell him he was already broadcasting his song. Hobi's "Oh. Sh*t." was priceless. Here is a link to a clip of the leak. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXuYaod6jpKEpbM

[@stanchaos9727]

jhope the main composer of disease said that The iconic bridge part in dis-ease was written by jimin in just 3 to 4 minutes even the way he sung it in his heavenly voice with jungkook gives me chills.

[@stanchaos9727]

Also “Dis-ease” was composed and written by J-Hope, and co-written by RM, Suga, and Jimin. Jimin also made the melody of brigde

[@MBella123]

This is a masterpiece! Take your time to read the lyrics later, it’s totally worth it. We’re talking about BTS, every lyric to every song has something very nice to be learned, sometimes to think about the message they are giving us. I promise you won’t regret ☺️

[@ami2017angel]

J-hope is the main lyricist And the bridge part was written by RM and Jimin.

[@onenottwoorthree]

Just a little correction, the producer was Brasstracks, but I believe that jhope contributed a lot to shaping the character of the song, including much of the lyrics and melody!

[@charstar386]

I thought Jimin came up with the bridge one day when he was singing something he made up on the spot for it and the producer said Let’s use that. What part did RM do?

[@Jay-sp1it]

Bridge part was written by JIMIN

[@crystalsnow1138]

@@user-ilhwa J-Hope is listed as a songwriter on the track, but not as a producer. Only Brasstracks is listed under the producer credits.

[@ami2017angel]

Namjoon and jimin did the bridge part. See the BE interview by the members guys.

[@sophieOT7]

This has Hobi’s signature sound all over it~~ 😍💜

[@chelseawilliams7781]

This is J-Hope's production masterpiece....love this song! Thanks for reacting!

[@ashleyder9164]

JHope said that when they were unable to work because of the Covid quarantine, he really struggled with the enforced rest and he started to wonder if the *need* to be always working was a sort of disease. That inspired this song, which explores their relationship with work. This is from their album BE, which was developed during the Covid quarantine and is full of songs reflecting their struggles and experiences during that time.

[@rikhmjustsomeguywithmousta4971]

Jin and Jimin’s highnotes were out of this world

[@abbiea1237]

I find it absolutely amazing how It took JIMIN less the 5 minutes to write the bridge after PDogg BigHit's in-house producer requested JIMIN to do so, since when JIMIN went in to the studio since there was no melody at that' point for the bridge, he just started humming and the legendary genius producer, Pdogg liked so much what he heard requested JIMIN write the bridge part. To me it's really the highlight of the song and brings it to another level, along with Jimin's amazing vocals. Hobi definitely chose the right beat to use from Dissstrack who also had a hand in producing, as well. Hobi's songs are always equally amazing. Hope you guys get to listen more to JHope's mixtape, but also a must are both if RMs, as well as Suga's (Agust'D).

[@fransza8472]

I usually don’t look at their lyrics until a few times listening to their songs. I’m so enthralled with their music production I never really needed to hear their lyrics. But when I eventually do read them, most of the times I’m mind blown.

[@jay-tu5jb]

J-hope’s a genius 🙌🏼

[@jpjina]

This is my favorite song of BE album. Loved the iconic bridge by JIMIN!

[@StraightEdge01]

One of my favourite tracks off the BE album! That bridge 😍😍 can’t wait to watch this reaction!!

[@istanthegreatest]

Hoseok has a signature on songs he mainly works on to, just like this, Dionysus, etc. It's amazing how great his knowledge on music and his mix tape (Hope World) is a proof. I am very much excited of the anticipated Hope World 2.

[@lauriemartin490]

This song is a masterpiece and perfect example of how BTS can craft a song that sounds like just a playful bop, but has deeply meaningful lyrics. You can't help but groove to this song. Also, as you fall deeper under the BTS spell, you will understand why everything about this song just screams "J-HOOOOPE." *insert Jin voice here* 😂

[@TheAgukala]

Suga’s verse added an additional 5yrs to my life. Fking 🔥 fireo

[@UKNOBTS]

THIS SONG!, THIS ALBUM, was what we needed during this pandemic. It was therapy for us as well as BTS. I literally involuntarily screamed when they did this at PTD in L.A. I got video of it. Love you guys!

[@flyushkifly]

Yeah, I screamed, too. 😏

[@Elisawood_]

It’s not a diss track. It is about the frustrations of quarantine and Covid

[@breeroe]

the entire BE album was written & produced from start to finish by the boys for the fans after the MotS world tour was cancelled. so much of their frustration & desire to comfort army was poured into it. (it's also the first time they included a skit for a long time)

[@crystalsnow1138]

Yes the members were heavily involved in the making of BE, but they also had a lot of help from other writers and producers. They didn't do everything on their own and there is nothing wrong with that.

[@sca3885]

I love Dis-ease!!!

[@Ross_P]

You know, this is what happens with BTS: you kinda don't want to start listening to them because you think the language barrier would be too much, and then you start listening to them and are super attached to the lyrics, because you're just used to understand everything in songs (and this is probably why MCA isn't super fond of the current music, because - with few exceptions like Taylor swift i.e. - most of our daily commercial music is based on sh*t lyrics, let's be real). But then you get their vibes, you get into their sounds, and you just *know* the lyrics are clever and damn good anyway, that you start paying less and less attention to it - to the point of not caring much about the lyrics, not because you don't like it or you're not interested, but simply because the songs are so damn good that they could be talking about nothing and you'd still love them. And the cherry on top is that their lyrics are never banal or gross, but always so well thought and even better expressed! :)

[@blarmy827]

Definitely watch the live from muster sowoozoo 2021

[@arianne8867]

Dis-ease is such an underrated song from "BE".

[@jessicapierce3027]

So a thing about the kpop industry is constand work... endless practice, performances daily, every aspect of your life you need to be switched on for cameras, society is watching you to analyze your every move. BTS is currently on their second official break from the industry since their debut. When they made the BE album they only had one official break in 7 years. So during the pandemic, a time when everyone was told to stay home don't go to work, BTS had a chance to just sit down and take it easy for once. Not these guys, they wanted to get back into the studio, back on the stage. Dis-ease was about the uneasiness of not working, but is that a disease itself? There was a music critic, from Rollong stone I think, who had the nerve to put this song on his 5 worst songs of 2020. He said it was because it didn't fit the theme of BE which started out very somber, he clearly didn't check the lyrics or understand how BE was arranged together.

[@Bre4458]

Yo if anything this is a perfectly placed song....Like going from the reflective lows of Fly to my room and blue and grey and ramping up through Disease and Stay?? I've never seen a more perfectly sequenced album.....you'd think music critic's would actually you know.....look into what they were critiquing. So little research done by people these days smh.

[@flyushkifly]

Wow, what a way to blow his cred as a legit music critic. Does a "theme" have to lack progression for him to recognize it?

[@iceshard2364]

This is probably on my top 10 songs from them! I can never not groove to this and I blare this in my car! Jimin’s voice specifically before the last chorus just sends me!

[@moreserendipity]

man this song is one of their best, one of my favorites!!! best bridge I've ever heard!!!

[@xoooxzzzz5744]

‘BE’ is such a good and chill album and because of that, often under-looked and underrated (especially because all the attention went to dynamite). I would recommend reacting more songs from that album. They’re very chill and atmospheric

[@nishikakoranne7382]

Jhope mainly wrote and produced this bop 💜🔥 This has one of the best bridges

[@larissafonseca4007]

No need to apologise for not reading the lyrics! I think it’s great that you guys are genuinely enjoying the music! The honest reaction is what makes your channel so amazing to watch! It’s called Dis-ease as in us humans have the disease of not being able to really rest, we feel like we always have to be doing something productive with our lives. It was made during the pandemic where people suddenly had a lot more time but felt useless so they couldn’t really rest - hence Dis-ease (genius title).

[@user-kd4pl3uu2h]

I wait for your reaction every day. Thank you for your reaction! It was nice to listen to BTS' songs that I've never heard before. Personally, I highly recommend "not today". The song is magnificent and the music video is visually excellent.

[@heesuh9505]

The whole BE album is during & related to this pandemic and the majority of the work is done by all members themselves from the scratch to the end for the whole production (i.e. idea, scheduling, directing, producing, making mv, making jacket, writing....). All their tours were cancelled so they created this album instead last year.

[@j-hope1341]

This song is considered one of J-Hope's masterpieces..it's really his style and if you like this type of songs you should watch (HOPE WORLD MIXTAPE ) 😭🔥

[@reecegentry]

hobi’s composition is all over this song and i LOVE it

[@pinaytravelsinuk5852]

The energy they give when they sing this song live !!!!

[@ceci8556]

Everything about J-Hope is uniquely unique. He just makes it work.

[@LoveYoonMin]

Oh, for the working and studying and the worrying to dis-ease (though I want to go on vacation or just stay in bed for a week). Having too much fun listening to the song is great! No rush with BTS' lyrics; appreciating/understanding them at your own pace is much better.

[@myshyay9304]

Live performances are so dope, coolest

[@andsprite7071]

I love your reaction ! It's okay even if you didn't pay attention to the lyrics, don't worry lol, it's understandable haha. This song is probably the best one from their latest album BE (in my opinion), the rappers shined a lot. Can't wait to see more reactions, love you 💜

[@danielamino3800]

I really love Dis-ease it makes my day better, I knew you were going to love the beat! J-hope did such an incredible job with this! Thank you for reacting!

[@barsabiswas9448]

BTS produces songs about things and emotions that everyone goes through, but give little thought about. These songs make us realise about it and makes us really empathise. That's the beauty of BTS songs....it will make you think and feel!

[@patriciamurashige6879]

My all time favorite and the plus is it was written and produced by my bias Jhope!!!🥵🔥❤️‍🔥💜

[@CingDbl]

One of my favorites off the album BE. Can't wait to see you react to Jhope's Hope World album starting with Airplane. Love your reaction when you both get so into the songs

[@hyperballad]

Just letting you guys know these translated videos usually come out really fast after the song is released, so if you notice some of the lyrics don't make sense or look a little weird is probably because translation was rushed. Great reaction!

[@dionnenymn8133]

Yup.

[@bangtansambassador6903]

some similar sounding songs to this are other songs in BE album such as stay, telepathy & fly to my room, as well as suga’s moonlight, jhope’s just dance (and his entire hopeworld mixtape tbh), and a brand new day which is a collab with zara larsson.

[@minhyunnies]

Thank you for reacting! This sing is sooo underrated but it is pure GOLD. And produced by our Hobi (JHope) makes it even better. When I first listened to this song I didn’t like it but now it is one of my favorite BTS songs of all time. 💜

[@dardarmissesv]

[@aggieeol1352]

Suga once described J-Hope as the group’s vitamin. This song is just one of the examples why. It’s such a Hobi style track. It lifts you up immediately. His album and his other tracks are just signature of his nature. When you listen to his album you will discover just how good of a vocalist he is too. When he hits the lover registers his voice gets this vibrating quality that literally gives you chills. There is a quiz on one of KZbin channels titled “guess who’s singing “ and around 99% people make a mistake guessing that it’s JK singing acapella when in reality it’s J-Hope.

[@babyc3482]

This is what happens when j hope make a masterpiece and Jimin comes in off the dome and in minutes with a breakdown that elevates this to God status.

[@momono0613]

One of my favourite songs!! Love Dis-ease!!! Thanks for this reaction 🙏💜💜💜

[@MISSJONASFOREVER2]

Suga always comes with that original flow/cadence 😍

[@sanres2100]

This is my favourite song. It’s a masterpiece. The lyrics (all the sentiments of being in lockdowns during the pandemic and in general out of work). The melody. All the music variants. The bridge. The increasendo after the bridge. And the amazing vocals and raps in every part of the song. A real masterpiece.

[@user-qd5gr8ql2w]

So this is all BE album tracks : _ life goes on (the title track with a MV) _ Blue & grey (made by V) _ fly to me room (a unit of Jimin, V , suga, j-hope you'll like it since you said you want to hear Vmin harmonizing) _ telepathy (made by Suga) _ Dis-ease (made by j-hope) _ stay (made by Jungkook and it's a unit of jk,Jin, RM) _ Dynamite and skit

[@kyoyachloe]

One of the best songs tbh, both lyrics and instrumental wise. This song is part of BE, an album about the pandemic and the feelings around it

[@Mi3ol]

BE, BTS last album so far, is for me one of their best. I have it very close to my heart. I would recommend you listen to Telepathy from that same album, as I fell in love with the song instantly when I listened to it the first time. I am loving this series, always expecting your videos at 1P.M. GMT

[@zoe_mouchtouri8774]

This song is getting better every time you listen to itt!! 💜💜💜 Waiting for more solo songs too

[@joy518]

it seems that you guys really love bts. dis - ease is a play on the word disease. the lyrics are about how uncomfortable they are with the situation of the pandemic. as entertainers they are effected in two ways, dis - ease because of the disease. this song is from their album 'be', all of the songs on this album are about their personal feelings during / because of the pandemic. i purple you.

[@jmlove2060]

노래선택 진짜 센스 최고신듯 💜

[@VAngel876]

This entire album was wonderful. They did this album because they had all had to come to the realization that all their concerts were being cancelled for 2020. They were going to do a world tour and everything was canceled due to the vid. So they decided to do back to back albums they had just finished 7 and they thought maybe everyone else was as upset about 2020 as they were. So each of them wrote songs that had very meaningful lyrics about the situation hitting everyone in 2020. The albums name was Be. All the tracks are worth a listen.

[@Lola-193]

This whole song is 🔥 They performed it LIVE at their concert in LA at SoFi Stadium in Nov/Dec! They truly are the ultimate performers. It’s a jam 💃🏻🙌💜

[@sheryl3462]

Not sure if anyone anyone mentioned this yet but their album BE was a mix of songs they put together to kind of describe what they were feeling because of the world being shut down due to the pandemic and not being able to perform and do their World Tour that was supposed to start after the comeback with MOTS7.

[@ayoayo1044]

It's disease like a illness/sickness and dis-ease like uneasiness/not comfortable. It's a play on words talking about how they aren't at ease and how they are sick from working so hard. "Ill" in English means to be sick 🤒 and it has the same pronunciation as "일" which means work in Korean🗄️.

[@justapotato3618]

Your reactions are great! Actually one of the best in my opinion. This is one of my favorites guys, thank you!

[@lavender_rue]

One of my favorite songs ever!!!

[@jenwinsim]

Same

[@anishishah4008]

J-Hope is the primary composer of this song and was highly involved in the overall production of it. the title is a play on words disease and dis-ease (uneasiness) and the song talks about how during the pandemic, when they were forced to rest, they still felt uneasy and one line in it that strikes me the most is "is it the world that's diseased or is it me". explains the whole track perfectly. RM, Suga and Jimin also have songwriter and composer credits in this. RM and Suga wrote their own pasts and Jimin gave us the amazing bridge

[@nataliehughes1119]

**Insert flaming elmo here** Can totally relate to getting lost in the song, I do the same thing everytime it comes on. The more you listen to it, the more you love it. I highly recommend blasting it on your finest speakers 👌👌 Loved this! Can't wait for Daechwita! (ps - you had a "missing file" at 5:22)
