BTS - Epiphany (LOVE YOURSELF 結 Answer) Explained

[@R.P.G.Toronto]

This new content is setting you apart from other YT reactors. Pretty comprehensive explanation and not just shallow use of adjectives and mere translation of lyrics. It is making fans and non-fans smarter. This is essentially what happens in my Humanities class when the professor draws interpretation of prose, music and paintings from students. Applause!!!

[@jamiegamble6957]

In my opinion he was actually already set apart. Their reactions were so much more real and if they didn't like something they would actually say it. DkdkTv Fighting 💜

[@JemsaiToam]

Super Asel totally, not that I have ever studied such psychology etc, boy this was so well done, giving real insight, bravo

[@serene9532]

Super Asel congrats, you got pinned!♥️

[@vsenglishcoach9088]

Finally found a Humanities student! Been waiting ages. It took David's explanation. Thank goodness!

[@btsjinmaknae3119]

Super Asel for me.... you guys fill up all of my questions... 😂

[@milenamilens2340]

Y-you really did a transparent, coherent and most importantly correct explanation of what the twitter stan couldn't simply explain. The series is the best idea ever

[@shotabdi4868]

😂😂

[@jennydinong1935]

Right,❤

[@imweirddontjudge4806]

Honestly if this was taught everyday at my classes I’d actually be excited to go to school lol

and the subject would be named as: Lyrics Explained

[@yourfuturebaby4521]

Yess haha

[@jennydinong1935]

Beautiful song,the lyrics are fantastics,love yourself before others,jin your heart is beautiful you deserve someone who value your worth..❤❤❤

[@HisWord_Joshua1_9]

Oh my gosh this is like best explanation ever of epiphany. You explained every detailed shown in the music video. My heart hurts because you explain it so beautifully I'm about to cry. BTS really is not an ordinary boyband. I love them so much. Power to you Sir! Respect

[@DKDKTV]

For DUCKS and viewers who are asking for reactions. Currently we are on a rest on reactions because Danny doesnt want to do them lol. But his reasons are, he wants to provide extra quality in our abilities than just simply reacting to MVs. I understand and agree to that point too, so I think this new series of ours is a fresh and good change! Please enjoy and support the new 'explained' series and spread word about it too! For reactions, go to my own channel🔴justdavid🔴 where I still do reactions!

[@melissamenjivar2131]

DKDKTV thank you for this. I appreciate the change and will continue supporting. Way to go with this channel. Awesome guys!

[@Aaina]

Would Danny want to do something like his biking challenge again? Those kind of stuff is also mad interesting

[@Umla80]

really cool idea imo, its always interesting to see what you natives that can understand the nuances and refrences think (why i perfer you guys reactions since its not just a simple reaction) i can understand wanting to push one self creativly to and i think this series of explanations can be really cool and different. Looking forward for more great content guys, keep it up!

[@rapmonster1648]

Ohh I am seriously loving your new idea. These "explained" series are awesome. Very enlightening. Thank you again. 💜👍

[@rapmonster1648]

I said somewhere else that the world is better when we diversify and you guys are doing it well. Please keep up with the creativity. I welcome the "explained" series. 💜👍

[@ebellie4447]

so now it's like all the problems in their MV's are solved about love and then that means they will have a happy comeback, right?? idk thats my theory that just went through my head

[@DKDKTV]

Ellie Geiger yes. I think so. I hope so

[@markeyllynn]

What happens after everything is solved though? New theories?

[@ebellie4447]

Markeyl Green, then they will make happy songs I guess, who knows we will just have to see

[@BasantAbdulmageed]

Y'all saw it coming! Boy with Luv was indeed the happy song that came after.

[@mansisingh5178]

BTW this is a genius theory

[@jampar8]

Mansi Singh not a theory.. it's an explanation

[@mansisingh5178]

it can be explained in many ways :p this is just one theory

[@ilicia_08]

But this is an explanation. Sure you can explain a theory but he’s not explaining a theory. It’s an explanation of fact.

[@syntiabarbara6210]

if you're talking about bts's theory then, first of all, the leader is genius af, so, yea..

[@kaylag.5807]

Your analysis has once again proven to me that BTS doesn't just create music that sounds pretty or pleasant. They create music with deep meaning, even if it often goes over my head haha.

[@youknowwho3481]

It was interesting how you put all pieces together from bts' previous mvs. It's a good analysis of the mv bc you took time to go back and connect previous events so that it could make sense

[@bttrl8thnspncr]

Words cannot begin to express how much this song means to me. I never thought K-pop would be worth a shot but I gave BTS a try and listened to Boy With Luv and I immediately fell in love and started to work back through their catalog. See, my life in the past 5 years have been a long, difficult 5 years. I lost friends, my parents split, I got diagnosed with major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder, I'll spare you the sob story. I'd lost any self image I had and I just had no clue who I was. Slowly and surely things started to get better, though. Anyway I get to LY: Answer and I listen to Epiphany and Answer: Love Myself and I just stopped dead in my tracks and cried. Because for the first time I realized that to find myself was to love myself and accept myself for who I am. Ever since then, my life has gotten so much better. I'm forever grateful to BTS for their music and their message of self love and acceptance.

[@defiantaichi]

I really appreciate you trying to make higher quality videos than just a reaction video. Of course reaction videos are fun when they are genuine. But I really admire the work you put in this video.

[@ellen.may12]

It all links together, Jin can’t keep going back in time trying to save the others because something always goes wrong. They need to LOVE THEMSELVES for the future to be happy. And when he’s trying to be someone else for this girl and it doesn’t work that links to the new ep PERSONA. You can’t keep going on with a persona you have to accept yourself and love yourself. I love the messages in BTS mvs.

[@lasttofirst3335]

So um David, what do you think of becoming a teacher or sth???? Just kidding but dude you really are good at this...NICE.

[@itriedtojimoutbutfail8498]

[@cOrEymOuA]

All I can say is..... WOAH!!!!! Seems so accurate when you explain the theory. Thank you for your hard work to explain the theory. 😊

[@jeanninerodriguez7693]

I start to listen BTS just for lucky, and i find a way to scape to depresion and sadness inside me for the situation in my contry, Although on the outside I try to be happy so as not to worry my family and my husband, there were days when I felt I could not do it anymore, their music arrived just in time to give me the strength to recharge energy and keep fighting to be better. Thanks to their videos I understand the meaning even better, they even help me explain to other friends who go through the same thing as me the beautiful message that the BTS songs have and that they are not just another band with no sense. Keep doing the work they do I love their videos and learn a little more about their culture which I find fascinating.

[@JeanettaSheehyTN]

Absolutely the most perfect explanation video ever! Concise, considered, and easily understandable. Thank you so much! Will await your reaction for when the album drops on the 24th. Have a wonderful day!

[@Erin-ce2wj]

map of the fucking soul at the end of this MV has me shook. They were ready for their next album series way back in early 2018 when this MV was made and conceived.

[@AS-ie7mx]

Well, i didnt know that the MV and lyrics were so deeper. Im amazed. thanks a lot Dkdk, we love u! saranghamnida 💕

[@notlotus8072]

Anyone else seeing 'map of soul' at 3:21. BTS have planned out there whole career i'm convinced. they had just started their love yourself answer comeback but already ready for the next one make it make sense

[@carlamayperico6169]

I saw it and I thought the same HAHAH

[@beepboop1513]

basically, if you play the game and watch the game trailer, jin is ofc dealing with time and having to save the members from their tragedies, theres a cat in the trailer who speaks to jin (basically is the anchor to the time traveling thing) and jin asks "you know how to save them, how do i save them?" and the cat responds "you have to find the map of the soul", so the words in the epiphany video just explained what that is.

[@hannah-ph3hq]

1:14 theory: jin is dr. strange

[@jhae9371]

He is strange alright..😂

[@kristineannevega1252]

I prefer this explained series of yours I really appreciate it because it helps us international fans more in understanding the message of the mv and the song. thank you!

[@gaba3167]

It's so great that you guys try new things, I mean it's still about kpop (you didn't forget that probably majority of your fans are primarily kpop fans) but changing formats keeps it fresh. I'm happy that you are not afraid to make some creative decisions and take risks

[@sugarjagi2211]

BTS' songs are so profound and deep. They are not just idols who sings bubblegum songs about love and crushes, but each lyrics has deeper and relatable meaning into it. As a foreigner, thank you for explaining their songs in a way that an outsider of the culture will understand. 😀

[@aaronbriones6273]

I'm not a huge BTS fan but one can't deny that Epiphany is probably one of the great cuts in the album. Someone outta give JIN props because this man can sing and I'm not just talking about regular singing but singing as in hitting notes and riffs. Though I personally don't understand the lyrics until this video, you’ll get drawn to it because of the emotion poured on this song. The visual is also amazing and moving forward I do hope we get to hear more songs like this.

[@JayShoPalmz]

I'm so happy this series exist. I've mainly been getting the feel from the tone of the singer and the gist of the translations of the songs. So knowing the explanation of the lyrics really adds another layer to why I love the songs. Thank you so much!!

[@bolloberry9486]

WOW I loved this video. It's so straightforward (just like the songs lyrics) and super accurate! I agree completely with you about the relation to the highlight reels. Splendid.

[@silverstar263]

OH MY GOD so 3:19!! It says he has to find the "map of soul" where everything started! And thats BTS's new album thats going to be released!

[@livial5704]

I thought I was the only one to see this But does that mean that everything is planned since years ago???

[@silverstar263]

@@livial5704 well maybe. I'm thinking about this like how an author who writes sequels and stuff thinks. They usually have a rough plot figured out, and go into detail while writing it (at least the ones I know do). So maybe they had like a vision about what they were going to base their music on and went with that? and the finer details, like that last paragraph were added when they knew what they were going to base their next album off of?

[@livial5704]

@@silverstar263 I see what you're talking about since I used to write a lot, and you're probably right since that's the most realistic thing But we all know that they plan everything a lot of time before it's release (Like the BU). With that and what you said in mind, plus the fact that 2019 is "mirroring" 2013, I still feel like everything is planned, maybe not since 2013, but they really think about every details, long before it's released, and it's fcking amazing (I'm sorry if you didn't understand me, I can't seem to express myself well tonight)

I just watched this (finally) after their new album was released. And then it just hit me, that their video "Ephiphany" already teased their newest album. Map of the Soul. Cause that's what the text says. @_@ *mindblown*

[@CrazySquirrelProductions]

Ya, I'm three years late getting to this but whatever. I'm glad you took the time to make this explanation & analysis. I viewed another lyric video of the song and the translation left out the nuances, etc. Your references to the set design & symbolism went a long way to erase the notion that this was a narcissistic ballad that other translations are not so great as I mentioned. Thanks a million. I have to say I do enjoy these introspective songs from BTS; it's my age - the closer you get to the end of your human lifespan, the more time you have to reflect on life gone by. Thanks again & peace.

So beautiful that I look at my own life and inspired. Thanks David!!

[@erenspersonalfeetlicker7255]

how is he going to give the red diary back? didnt the girl die or didnt i understand?

[@DKDKTV]

He can rewind time, but no matter how many times he rewinds it always had the same ending of her ‘dying’(this might just be a symbolism of a bad result, it doesnt necessarily have to be a reality). But now he realizes it is fake love and he goes to end it by giving the diary which means him admitting/confessing he is not actually perfect and from now on he will just be himself, not acting to look good and loving by trying to be a person that fits the ‘diary’(can be a symbolism for social expectations etc). Plus his actions to satisfy and love the girl has ultimately pushed him away from the members which is a part of himself.

[@erenspersonalfeetlicker7255]

ohhhhh now I understand, thanks :)

[@yangskie311]

That's why when he decided to give back the diary and be his self, that's the time that he can be with the boys.. That's the reason why they appear on the pics at the scene?.. Well, this is just my own understanding ☺️

[@andreahl3494]

Wow. That was very eye opening. I thought that the MV, together with the music was talking about learning to accept oneself after a heartbreak. That you are still worth it. In actuality, what it's saying was that you need to learn to love and accept all that you are, including your imperfections and dirts, so that you can also love (or interact with) another genuinely (with all that they are). Anything less than that and you might just be putting that person into a pedestal, ultimately making them your sick version of perfection and not seeing them as real and bleeding people. As they say, "You can't give what you do not have."
