BTS "FAKE LOVE" MV | FIRST TIME REACTION VIDEO (EP087)

[@Ahjusshi_Brown]

This is why ARMY always suggest checking out BTS’ Korean stuff. Their US stuff is written for US audiences (and serves its purpose of uplifting the ARMY during the pandemic) but BTS’ true artistry is on display in their Korean content They’ve always been known for their deep/meaningful lyrics and the art pieces they create to visualize those messages

[@MixItUpPodcast]

We have many Army requests scheduled in a book of pages called our list. Thank you!

People react to bts dynamite and butter and think that who they are ..no ..dynamite and butter just a cheerful songs they made for thier fans during the pandemic ..black swan is a masterpiece talk about loosing your passion , epiphany about self love , stigma about hurting rting others , house of cards about a singer relationships with his fans ,,blood sweat and tears about temptation and a lot of their songs has a beautiful message

[@MixItUpPodcast]

We have more on the way, my friend! We don't think thats who they are? Why dp you assume? We watch a myriad of videos: mv, studio, lyric, and live; then the opinion starts to form as the art progresses in what we consume. We are musicians, and that is how our minds work.

[@Myjotime]

@@MixItUpPodcast I know I didn’t mean u by saying people , I meant people who just watched dynamite and butter ,, not u u went farther and reached to fake love and I loved your reaction because you gave us a beautiful opinion about the song thank you 🙏 ..bts known for their messages and also their live performances is the one that make u want to go their concert because they sing better than the studio version , if u react to it check both versions mv and live u be amazed ..u will found out how they are professional and high level on a stage ..thank u 🌹 also there are some explanation for their songs done by their fans and u be amazed how they high educated..bts is the rabbit hole that Alice in wonder land once stepped in it and never get out ..

Thanks we are definitely have a huge rabbit hole to travel down. We are excited as always to see it!

9:18 It's crazy you mentioned "Persona" because BTS has a trilogy album called "Map Of The Soul [MOTS]". MOTS is based on Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung's books on the Map Of The Soul which talks about the *Psyche, Ego, and collective unconscious* .BTS delves into Jung's theories focusing on the Persona, Shadow, and Ego aspects of it in the albums "Map Of The Soul: Persona" and "Map Of The Soul: 7". While Fake Love on the other hand is a part of another trilogy album called "Love Yourself" which are "Love Yourself: Her", "Love Yourself: Tear", and "Love Yourself: Answer" however, it's all connected.

[@ladybangtan]

You're right, BTS songs are always open for interpretation. RM, their leader and main songwriter tries to make their songs relatable to everyone. They all write, compose and produce their songs. Very insightful reaction. I love it. Subbed for more. BTS is very much worth it, please react to more of their works. 💜

@@MixItUpPodcast RM’s new album, Indigo, is out now if you want to check it out! The title tracks are ‘Wildflower’ and ‘Still Life.’ Gives you a little taste of how much of the lyrics are RM’s (he’s got a certain writing style that I feel is recognizable when you look at the stuff that’s 100% his).

I love your username Yes IMOT7,2 😂

[@aprilforgue]

The song was written by RM, one of the BTS members, pdogg (in house producers under Hybe Labels and hitman bang (founder of the label). RM said the song could be about a relationship or about yourself so he left it open for interpretation. Almost all official music videos have the english subtitles except for a couple of the early music videos. Bangtantv is BTS channel where they post additional things like behind the sceens or their variety show run bts cover songs, etc. The same people who translate all bts music with explanation on doolset also have channels called enjoy bts more where live performances are translated with English subtitles. I do recommend the introduction to bts 2022 by Taylor to get familiar with the members and who does what.

[@ruthfischer7615]

The first few songs have subtitles only on the 1theK channel. It counts as official somehow. For "Fire" I'd use it, too - as there is a serious false translation on the official channel. 💜

[@JeonJungkook-wr4yr]

There is a guide to the 7 members of bangtan it'll tell you every you know about them and so much more as well.

[@nikki4noo]

I advise caution about watching these videos as there is misinformation/misdirection in them. They also spoil a lot of things if you want to be surprised. The older ones are better for an introduction, even without the newer information. The one that people I see recommend a lot lately is one that I personally would not recommend as it gives people a wrong impression (I've watched a lot of reactors react to it and they all end up with the same misconception).

[@JeonJungkook-wr4yr]

@nikki4noo usually tho reactors would watch the guide that Taylor made its not miss informed for sure it's all accurate I've seen every new reactor react to the guide like I understand if they don't want spoilers but the others are a bit older than this one I just wanted to say that I do appreciate you writing your suggestion tho I do thank you honestly

[@nikki4noo]

@@JeonJungkook-wr4yr It does include misinformation (the glad handling on Hollywood Blvd is the big issue for me) and she focuses more on western achievements in the way she has it structured. Yes AMA results were great but they are fan voted and not on the same level as the Daesang sweep they did. There is always issues with the way most of these intro videos deal with Jin and Jimin's way into the group as well. Because it doesn't go in depth or explain the background well, it gives misdirection/misinformation to people looking to find information about the group.

[@notmeowbutmeow5269]

@@nikki4noo Nah it won't spoil anything AT ALL I swear. There are like so many songs with only few seconds shared. They will prob remember 2/3 songs. I really really think they should watch it first before diving into their songs so that they get to understand their background, their style of musics and their messages.

[@yeppoyou]

@@nikki4noo i have to disagree. it's a good guide. while the troubadour show already had more than enough army lined up to see bts so they really didn't need to hand out flyers, it is very indicative of the point they were at back then - they still needed to hustle like hell and this makes that point. in regards to jin and jimin, there's only so much you can cram into a guide. she also mentions their daesang sweeps, it's not really going to hit with westerners because they are unfamiliar to them. is the guide all encompassing? no, but it provides a good overall picture of the band and its members. no guide is perfect, but taylor's is the best out there.

[@milagroscastro530]

As your first time listening to BTS, It can be really surprising for sure. I’m glad that you enjoyed BTS! It can be confusing but as you have heard and observed, BTS songs have different genres. In the group there are 3 rappers and 4 vocalist. Us fans love BTS not only because of their sound but their message through their songs. Whenever you watch their MVs I suggest you turn on the CC subtitle to be able to understand what their song/music is all about. Really enjoyed your reaction and it will be great to see you react to more BTS soon! As reference, If you want to hear more of their songs I suggest you listen to: ON Kinetic Manifesto Film Black Swan Blood Sweat & Tears DNA Fire Bts has songs of almost every musical genre. Also wanted to add that most of their songs are actually quite insightful and deep. As you said, each member has their own palette and uniqueness and you can hear and see this essence of individuality through their music and in ANYTHING that they do in general to be honest. The more one looks into BTS the more appealing they get; Not just from a musical perspective but in general. BTS roots are in hip-hop as the first couple members came from the underground rap scene before the rest of the members joined, and then debuted together. They incorporate/blend R&B, pop/edm, and other genres such as rock, jazz, Latin, etc. If you want to learn more about the members and BTS as a group then I suggest that you react to A Guide to BTS Members: The Bangtan 7 by Taylor Nakamoto this is the most recent one

[@OT7_DopeOldARMY]

Taylor’s name in the channel is now Taylor Mari, so search for that. It’s the best, most up-to-date Guide out there. A couple of hints: 1) BTS has a storyline that runs through MVs, Webtoons, short films, etc. The MV visuals aren’t always tied as much to the song as to the storyline (called the “Bangtan Universe”). 2) If a song/video/performance video doesn’t have subtitles, adding “eng” or “eng sub” to the search term usually finds videos with English subs. The doolset bangtan site that someone else mentioned is excellent for lyrics, too. (No video - just lyrics and great explanations) 3) The “Enjoy BTS More” channel has been adding English subs to a lot of live performances, so they are a great resource for those. 4) BTS has b-sides that are equally as great as their title songs with MVs (maybe even better in some cases - they’re that good). B-sides rarely have MVs, though. Lyric video channels in general aren’t great - doolset bangtan is better for truly getting the meanings right. Their are often live performances of b-sides, though, so keep that in mind. Many will have good lyrics - especially in the Enjoy BTS More channel mentioned above. I enjoyed your reaction - always appreciate respectful BTS newbies. 🙂

08:49 in recent interviews for his album Indigo, leader of BTS RM said: i aim to write about my experience but in universal way. And that is what bts did pretty much always. They have song with only rappers Outro: Tear, which they wrote when contemplated disbandement, so it is about them, but it can refer to so many other relationships

A huge reason that ARMY loves BTS is their deeper meanings in their lyrics. We appreciate you taking the deep dive with them! It makes me so happy, personally, to see you accept a foreign group as great. BTS is for everyone, I think, because they do so many different things…. I love the many interpretations! Just ask what genres you want to hear and we’ll tell you which song falls into that genre!

[@MM-et2jr]

WOOOOOW! I have a strong feeling you will love the lyrics and subject in their Map Of The Soul: 7 album (MOTS: 7). Honestly, just hearing you talk about the lyrics and music... I think you're the type of people who will actually be able to understand the brilliance of BTS. There are so many levels to them, and casual listeners don't know this side of BTS, but to me it's the absolute GEM and a huge part of why are loved by so many ARMYs. Would you consider doing the songs chronologically of MOTS: 7? You will see the story running through the album and how it develops. All the songs are SO different, so you'll be entertained too.

We might actually do that. That sounds really interesting. Hope we haven't already recorded some of them.

Really loving your in depth discussion. This is why BTS is so popular, the deep lyrics and the way they make us think, while also being entertaining as heck. This has one of my fav lyrics in the 'I raised a flower that can't be bloomed in a dream that can't come true.'

[@alekkaparedes3259]

What a joy listening to an intelligent and interesting reaction. Very intelectual and very accurate, considering this is your second time. And it's true, the story goes deeper, it's fictional but really good. I'm sure someone will explain. Thanks for giving yourself the chance to listen to BTS. There is so much quality content in their discography, and so diverse, with great lyricism and important topics. Welcome to BTS Universe. Loved you guys for being so respectful

[@vikzytoria]

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this (and I'm sorry to throw you down a rabbit hole) but Fake Love is directly tied into the fiction storylines in their cinematic universe called the Bangtan Universe. RM's scene has the storage containers where he lived in the previous story because he's basically homeless on his own; Jin is in the exploding room protecting the flower because he time travels trying to save the other 6 boys from an event he set off, but it just messes up more and more as he continues to try; J-Hope is in the room of Snickers bars and carnival rides because his mom left him as a kid at a carnival with only a Snickers bar; Jimin was so depressed that he tried to drown himself in a bathtub and is in the room with the pouring water, V is in the room of phones because in his storyline he gets in trouble and he's trying to call RM for help, but the call is never answered Suga is in the burning room because he set fire to his own house and a piano his mother gave him in depression And Jungkook has a bit of a vague roll because he's seeing it all happening and trying to go through all the scenes (he's the one running down the hall) It is a lot but it's crazy that they have an MV universe that also includes a webtoon and a book series as well as some poems and short stories that BigHit created originally for the Bangtan Universe.

[@MixItUpPodcast]

Wow that is crazy amazing. Brave and dedicated to mix and twist and combine moments and it is definitely skilled visual concept even more than before. Thanks for explaining in more detail! Also thank you for watching our little ole channel!

[@ashleyder9164]

BTS have like 300 songs in their discography 😅 So, yeah, people are going to recommend a LOT of songs. If you start with songs that have official music videos from their official KZbin channel, those will have accurate captions. There are a lot of EXCELLENT bsides with no music video that you'll need lyric videos for...those can be tricky, so I'd certainly say if someone recommends a song they should also include a link to a good translation for you. 🤷‍♀️

[@pambarab5506]

All of the BTS Official MVs have excellent subtitles provided by Big Hit (the entertainment company they have been signed with since before 2013). You kept talking about Persona... BTS has a two album series titled Map of the Soul. The first album is Persona, the second is 7, that has songs titled Shadow and Ego. Both albums were inspired by psychologist Carl Jung. In essence, most of BTS' songs and albums are very deep and well thought out.

[@ruthfischer7615]

with the exception of the first few MVs. For that 1theK is usefull. I'd also watch "Fire" MV here as the official MV - which if I remember correctly are on the official label channel not the group channel - has a serious miss-translation. 💜

[@SingaJay]

Great reaction gentlemen, very intelligent and really appreciate you taking the time to look deeper. As others have mentioned majority of BTS music is deep so keep going, would love to hear more of your insight! Enjoy BTS More are a great channel for good quality video and Eng subs. Doolset for accurate lyrics, also for an explanation of their MV's DKDKTV & Bookish Theory are good sources. We lose a lot in not being able to understand Korean culture, and these do a great job of explaining the real message behind the lyrics. So worth doing an explanation video to their songs automatically alongside the MV. Sub'd.

[@MixItUpPodcast]

The beauty of music is the subjective art itself. It's lovely to see so many lovely people enjoying us enjoying them. Thanks so much for watching!

[@ayoidek6571]

Thanks for reacting to bts, this song is actually part of a series called the ‘love yourself’ series, other songs that complete this series are ‘DNA’ and ‘Idol’ and they tell a story. DNA: the start of love, you feel happy and euphoric and you feel like this love will never change Fake love: you start to realize you’re not as happy as you thought you were because you’re faking parts of yourself to satisfy who you love Idol: you realize you need to love yourself above all and accept yourself Other songs in those albums also follow this story

[@Ahjusshi_Brown]

Speaking of multiple interpretations, BTS is actually very well known for that (and Fake Love is a perfect example of that). On surface level, this song can be read in the context of lovers, friends, or even amongst one’s self. Fake love, changing yourself for the love and appreciation of another (even if that other person is another part of yourself) is an incredible message on its own. The message goes beyond that though bc this song is actually part 2 of a trilogy in which BTS was discussing the journey to loving yourself. They also visually allude to their next series (via the MV) which incorporated the psychological concepts of individualization by Carl Jung (in which they discuss one’s persona, one’s shadow, and one’s ego). EVEN BEYOND THAT, this song can be interpreted through the lens of the Bangtan Universe (the BU) in which BTS has created a nearly cinematic storyline that runs throughout all their albums AND some of their MVs, books, webtoons, and video games. BTS have a habit of making their content extremely multifaceted and able to be interpreted on various levels, and that’s one thing I really love about them. They can stimulate you audibly, but also intellectually (and that’s rare to come by in the “pop” music scene, regardless of what country it comes from).

[@MixItUpPodcast]

We appreciate this on so many levels. Thanks for adding to the conversation and bring a great perspective!

Except some of their very early Music Videos, the videos on their BANGTANTV youtube channel and HYBE LABELS channel have english subs built in. For some of their older behind the scenes that don't have subs built in, then Bangtan Subs (a fan account) has a lot of sub'd videos.... the BANGTANTV has dance practices, behind the scenes 'bangtan bombs' and cover songs/videos and such. HYBE LABELS is the main for their label and has their official music videos as well as videos from other artists under the label. Just let the intro graphic show and you shouldn't have any issues with copyright or anything as long as you aren't trying to monetize the reaction. Good luck!

BTS definitely tries to connect, support and lift their listeners.

[@heesuh9505]

Thanks for your interpretation of the lyric. Yes, the lyric can pertain to various relationships. They have on going BangTan (BTS stands for BangTan Boys scout which means Bullet Proof boys scout) Universe story line from one album to the next album. This mv has so many symbolisms and stories from the BU and gives meanings just like you interpreted. The back ground statue and their dance movements symbolize "see no evil, hear no evil & speak evil" and flower, mirror, key hole, water fall, fire and even Snicker bars have stories & meanings. Their later album is based on the psychologist, Carl Jung's book theory, Personna, Shadow & Ego. BTS is not a common boy band. They do write most of their own music and inspired by arts, books, psychology, philosophy, even movies and thru their experiences & feelings. They make us to read, think, study and observe more to human lives. Very intellectual, I must say. That might be the reason that many professors from different universities from different countries get together and have seminars on BTS' works for last 3 years. Their 3 English songs are not that deep. They created these English songs light & poppy purposely to cheer up people during the pandemic.

Lol sorry for long comments and/or too many comments. The part of the MV were their are phones/iPads turning on and off and the guy (V) holding the phone that turn to dust…behind them the mirror says Save Me but if you flip it, it says I’m Fine, which are both are BTS songs that connect to one another. Sometime I recommend listening to both. (Save Me has an MV but for I’m Fine doesn’t. I do also recommend watching live performances with both songs sides by side). No hurry… Something about BTS music is it is like an onion or puzzles. You can keep finding and peeling layers. You can find more and more pieces of a bigger puzzle. I also HIGHLY RECOMMEND watching a interview with BTS by the Grammy Museum. They don’t get a lot of great interviews but this is one of their best ever in my opinion. (I will put link down below in comments of this comment)…some things from the interview: Every song on each BTS album is one piece of the puzzle: Suga explained that many of the songs on the Love Yourself albums are meant to be taken as part of the whole, contributing to the larger story arc and concept, while Jin noted that the albums' title songs and videos are chosen and shaped to reflect the “color and flavor” of the albums as a whole, as well as the key message. (Fake Love is part of their Love Yourself Albums which tell a story. Love Yourself: Her-the start of a relationship and it feels like destiny and unreal and happy. Then Love Yourself: Tear where the relationship starts to feel off and unsettling. Finally Love Yourself: Answer where they have an “Epiphany” and they find the answer that they need to love themselves first before they can truly love others)(however you can add more layers if you also include BTS’s BU, which is a fictional storyline that runs throughout BTS’s albums, MVs, books, cartoons, etc) And their production process is a truly collaborative effort: Suga likened BTS' production process to a "year-round song camp," noting that their creative efforts are not just limited to their songs, but expand out to music videos, choreography and style. The group works together to create their lyrics and melodies -- and process feedback from Big Hit boss "Mr. Bang," Bang Si-hyuk -- and said that they consider their production team to be colleagues and equal partners in the ongoing creative process. “If there was a barrier, we wouldn’t be able to make the music we do,” Suga noted. “We all have to do our roles, and we try to work together as much as we can,” J-Hope added. “Our participation in the process makes it more sincere and meaningful.”

@8:38 this is something that is awesome!! The members of BTS learned pretty early on to make the music be applicable for anyone and be interpreted any way they would like, while still telling their story…RM, Suga, and Jhope are the main songwriters of BTS (especially RM), however all have grown to slowly be more involved in the music… @9:22 BTS actually have two albums that talk a lot about personal stuff…Map of The Soul: Persona (pretty much an album dedicated to ARMY) and Map of the Soul: 7 (inspired by Carl Yung theory) @9:37 if the MV is from Hybe or Bighit then the captions are correct or pretty close Sometime could you pls react to Indigo by RM. He recommends listening/reading of order of playlist. He also said the album is an archive of his twenties. Their are two MVs, Still life and Wildflower. (This album was released in December 2022). I also recommend Indigo Magazine Film on BangtanTV where RM talks about each song, a little of the process or inspiration, and the collaborators also talk a little too. @13:06 lol BTS have a huge discography lol. I have been ARMY for almost two years and I still find new songs everyday. I have heard other ARMY who have been ARMY much longer and still find new music lol. 99.5% of their music is written by them. A good portions is produced and/or composed by them. Take your time and pls try not to feel overwhelmed. @13:43 this is something awesome about BTS majority of their music you can enjoy with or without the deep message (but in my opinion better when you look deeper into their music)

[@BTS_ismylife7]

I enjoyed your reaction. I’m subscribing, hoping for more BTS although I will also be checking out some of your other reactions! Looking forward to more!

[@MixItUpPodcast]

We have a few more coming in the next weeks they are gonna be a weekly staple for awhile. Thank you for watching my friend!

[@christinedowney]

Stick to the official MV's run the intro to avoid copyright that way you probably don't have to fade the video. Great to see you react!

[@MixItUpPodcast]

Thank you! We are doing just that for tmrws video!

[@halalmarthnihpai4946]

Thank you for your reaction, i really wanna see more of your BTS reaction. Iits really refreshing to see musician reactors dig deeper to BTS lyricism coz first of all ARMY not only love their visual or choreo but also feel connected to their musics and its lyrics. Most of their lyrics are so deep and bring positivity that have helped many Armies went through their anxious, depression or self destruction. They tought ARMY to love themself first just how ARMY love them

[@ulyanap606]

Thank you for your discussion Please react to Bts-Run Bts(live performance in Busan)

[@tatianalg]

You can find this video in the Bangtantv channel as well

[@bluehourtarot]

You are the first reactors I have seen that noticed the empty picture frames on first watch. No people they know in the frames, just phones lighting up. I connected there as well. Thanks for the reaction. New subscriber 😊💜💜💜

[@nashmiasays4578]

According to me other than butter and dynamite all of their songs have deep lyrics. And that’s one reason they and their songs resonate with a lot of people. We can feel those lyrics and music even if we don’t understand Korean.

[@corgisrule21]

The thing with subtitles is (for BTS), the songwriters in the group use carried language or words that don’t exactly translate. RM talks like a poet mixed with the new slang in real life and if we didn’t have Korean translators on Twitter and YT trying to explain the nuances of their words, we would miss a lot (which is why a lot of us are learning/have learned Korean🤣).

[@HeavyMetalForLife]

Oh damn this video is blowing up, let’s keep this going, happy for you guys 👑

[@MixItUpPodcast]

Thank you sir. Yeah! If we were in the youtube partner program god only knows where it would be going. So glad. You guys are all awesome!

[@jean3A]

I love art that tell deeply personal stories but make them a universal connection

[@Polx_World]

Finally someone who doesn't focus only on the meaning of ''love'' (couple)! Thank you! 💜

[@luisabradley6947]

If you go to bangtan TV, you'll find the correct meaning and captains. This song is part of a bigger picture. I can only think of a handful of songs that the guys haven't written plus when someone send them a song they know what Bts is about.

[@InsightIgnitee]

Great video bros! Keep up the grind!

[@MixItUpPodcast]

Thank you for watching! You rock!

[@JanB-qm2bi]

I really like your reaction and observations. If you are genuinely thoughtful, you are going to love BTS. That is what they are all about.

[@taptaphello123]

Interesting that you said the word Persona a couple of times. That's actually discussed two albums later. BTS usually does what's meant to be a trilogy of albums discussing a theme/subject. Map of the Soul: Personal is actually a discussion based on Carl Jung's themes and a somewhat continuation of the Love Yourself Series. Fake Love is the title song from the middle of the Love Yourself album series where it talks about the hardships and the darker side of relationship whether it's with your partner or yourself.

[@forevabangtan]

I actually think you two would love it if you listened to the albums in order. Because for example the Love Yourself trilogy, if listened in order it tells a story. BTS are such beautiful artists. I describe their music as filled with stories about struggles but always with the light of hope.

[@vaidehishinde9652]

This song is a Masterpiece 💜

[@FragaGurl10]

Great video guys. Love hearing new perspectives, hope you continue to react to more BTS. You will not be disappointed and I really think you will enjoys the BTS journey!

[@MixItUpPodcast]

Thanks so much for watching we have a new episode dropping tmrw with bts!

[@MsMcr67]

As soon as I heard BTS and Avenged Sevenfold in the same sentence you got me 💜🤘🏻

[@MixItUpPodcast]

Hahahaha yeah, we like to dive into many pools. Can't wait to find more subjects and dive deeper. The lexicon of these two acts is enourmous!

[@hobiwankenobi5450]

For MVs, you just need to watch the MV and put on KZbin CCs.

[@MixItUpPodcast]

Do you know you have the dopest youtube name in the world?! 🌎

[@pslinky]

I just found you guys, I'm gonna sub in the hopes that you do more BTS, because you are intelligent & knowledgeable reactors and I really appreciate it. I would love to hear your opinions on their catalogue because they are really deep and it's refreshing to see new people get it. 💜 Thanks for this

[@MixItUpPodcast]

We have another one droppin tmrw one more next week and then 4 more backlined for January.

[@pslinky]

@@MixItUpPodcast sweet! I'll be here for it! It's interesting, there's a large number of heavy metal heads that end up loving BTS. Metal is an emotional genre, and lyrics are usually important in a lot of good metal.(I was a metalhead for a good portion of my formative years. I'm 50 now) 💜 BTS are kings of intelligent lyricism and they do multiple genres. You should check out BTS and seo taiji doing classroom idea live. There's even a little screamo in there 😉 just make note of it, I know you want to do some mv's 1st, and this probably shouldn't be your 1st sight of them live, as they're with seo taiji not the other was around, it's his song and band.

[@ceciliacontreras8631]

son muy profundas sus letras por eso tienen fans de todas las edades

[@magdalenagabrowska8169]

With writing and making song you really have to look into credits... If we talk in general, usually rappers write their parts, it isn't a case if one of them write all the song, then they give parts to who they think it will fit the best, sometimes that person make a little changes so it will be theirs but that this is how it looks. All songs are did like that, a person gets part bc band and producers, etc, think it fits that person the best. Making song is effort of all, the members of band and in house producers most of them was with them from begining and it is like 4 people, the BTS members thing of them like of part of band. Hmm With song writing must song are write by rappers in band. Fake love was written by RM, "Hitman" Bang, and Pdogg, with the latter as producer. So RM is a BTS leader and rapper, Bang is person that made band, like collected them and put them together and Pdogg is a producer in company, one of this people I write before that are with band from begining even before debute so more then 10 years. He had his hands in most BTS songs...

[@theuntamedalex732]

안녕하세요🤗 Hi guys🤗 First, Big Hit's videos do not have copyright issues. So there is no need to blur or downsize the video. 😘 I'm a very normal Korean so I can't speak English fluently, Even if the lyrics aren't perfect in English, the message seems to be conveyed well. message! This is important to BTS. It was a very new pleasure to hear from you. Thank you for sharing your opinion. I'm looking forward to the next trip. More BANGTANTV. Thank you. 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜

[@Jeguk07]

Everyone has different experience of discovering BTS. But the ride is super inspiring and enjoyable. Please please react to more BTS. There are MVs, lyric videos, dance practice vids, behind the scene docs, explain vids, intro vids, and my favorite, their live performance vids. ☝🏽here to witness your journey.

[@Josieb4008]

This mv FAKE LOVE is a continuation of their BU storyline. The part of the SNICKER BARS is very sad. The character JHope plays in the room lying in a bed of SNICKER bars was abandoned by his mother as a toddler. The mother took him as a toddler to an amusement park to spend their last moments together; they even took a picture together. Then, the mother sits the toddler down, has him to cover his eyes and pretends it's a game of hide and seek. She tells the little boy to count while covering his eyes. As the toddler counts, the mother proceeds to place the photo that they took together and a SNICKER bar next to the toddler before she walks away and disappears out of his life forever. Now, if you look at the room, it is filled with snicker bars bc he is still that toddler inside that is still trying to fill the void of his mother's love and the last moments they spent together . BTS' storyline goes all the way back to 2014...2015. Also, BTS had the most well thought out universe storyline of any kpop group in history The Kpop industry knows that its the storylines that draws ppl in and locks them in that kpop rabbit hole. Lol!

[@oarabileradisigo7458]

bts is the biggest boy group in the world there are 7 members in the group 3 rappers and 4 singers their please watch the introduction video of the members

[@worldsnews170]

Ur explanation is intelligent I really liked the reaction Hope u'll do more BTS reactions

[@johannadiaz1133]

BTS' lyrics are freaking amazing and meaningful! You must listen to other songs! RM (one of the members of BTS and leader) he is the main songwriter of the group. His songs are pretty deep, he once said that lyrics are import in songs, too. You should react to Wild Flower by RM (his new single from his album called Indigo). Besides, BTS also has amazing songs that I'm pretty sure you'd like.

[@MixItUpPodcast]

You guys have given us alot of stuff to go through! We can't wait Army.

[@debhouckscraftycottage]

If you watch their official MV's, all but their very oldest ones have English subtitles and are on either the BangtanTV channel (spelled exactly like that - no spaces- and is BTS content Only), or HYBE Labels (which has BTS and other artists under HYBE). Those are the official channels. Good Discussion at the end there. This video is part of BTS storyline called the BU so some of the visuals referenced back to that. However, you don't Have to get in to the BU (Bangtan Universe) to understand the song. I think you both got it right.

[@precypadua4547]

There's a continuation of every BTS song and next to fake love is "SAVE ME" after that "I'M FINE" and so on you can watch the vid.about it if you want to know the meaning or story behind their songs☺☺🥰🥰🥰

[@joannmosby7651]

If can't Love Yourself, how are you going to Love someone else, "Fake Love!" 🙋🏽🤗💜✌🏽🙏🏽

[@junchoui]

With the exception of very early stuff, the HYBE channel, BTS' label, has THE captions for MVs. Bsides can be a different story, though. Have a great week!

[@user-oh8mc2xq2p]

Jimin just-

[@Hotshortie]

If you love ART, you're going to Love BTS. If you'd like to get pushed into the "DEEP" end, you could react to: Blood Sweat & Tears. Namjoon loves to read. He's always suggesting books to ARMY. Namjoon read the book "Damien" by Hermann Hesse. It's a twisted tale. Just remember, once you've taken a bite of the apple; you can't reclaim your innocence? Blood, Sweat & Tears by BTS

[@anggianggraeni1120]

Love your reaction..i'll wait till the next BTS reaction..Tq

[@echo6159]

The benefit from starting at the begging is watching/hearing their transformation over the years. Spoiler alert BTS is better live! Enjoy your journey.

[@febl76]

Wait til you find out there is a BU, a story line though several songs, story, sketches, promos etc.

[@erikoenglish1651]

Thank you for listening BTS song. Three rappers RM, Suga and Jhope are great songwriter and composer, producer.

[@sugasiced-coffee9408]

As long as you're watching BTS' Official MV by their label, HYBE (formerly Big Hit), you can trust the subtitles. By the way, great job on your interpretation of the lyrics! 💜💜💜

[@agnieszkafeier3202]

Thank you for really deep reaction! I have no words how you went directly to many different meanings. Thank you so much for your time and reaction!

[@anissab.5375]

Thanks for reacting to BTS ! I think they will surprise you on many levels because they have, no lie, the wildest range of music any artist have and hundreds of songs. That means, no matter what your genre is, you'll find songs you like and some you might enjoy less. Anyways, as much as medias like to put groups in a box, BTS is no typical "boyband" and even in the Kpop industry, they're totally different. They're pionniers in some way and to these days, I haven't seen any artist that big being so normal out of stage. But most of all, they've been working very hard for a decade, literally starting from scratch in a company that was on the verge on bankruptcy only to have made this company one of the biggest economic sources in South Korea nowadays. On top of being amazing rappers, singers and dancers ; BTS members write, produce, take part in the artistic concepts, music videos, dance choreographies, ideas... Everything basically, in collaboration with their company staff and artists. They're really on a line of their own and I think you'll see that for yourself when you react to more. That being said, you're really perceptive on many levels, can't wait to see more of your reactions :) Also, I think you should definitely react to the different fan-made guides about BTS. They'll put you on many informations about the group, the members, how they work and everything basically. Because above learning about their group history, these guides make you understand their music a lot more in some way. That was my case when I first became a fan (and I'm sure I'm not the only one). I guess learning about the background of each member, their background as a group and the way they work for their craft, makes you understand the music (and the artistry) in a much more complete way. The most complete (and amazingly made) guide is : " A Guide to BTS Members: The Bangtan 7 " (by Taylor) which is in english ! In any case, I hope you'll enjoy the journey !!

[@gpttotes]

Omg the subs got me rolling. Your customer service... won't you take care 🤣🤣🤣

[@Kimtaegi36]

I have to say this, they are a lot of reactor who have reacted to this song and at the end only what they will say is that"OK, let rate this video over 10" or some be like "I thinks they had a break up with their girlfriends" like WTF💀?? But your reaction made me pressed the subscribe button and I'm so proud as an army for people to notice our boys talented and their dedication for what they do... I purple u💜

[@MarinaEariel]

On KZbin, to find subtitled stuff: "Enjoy BTS More" has a lot of great full live versions when they can jump the copyright hoop, and stage mixes (where they use parts from several performances) when they can't. " "AF Taehyung" has great color coded lyrics (where you can see who sings/raps which lines) "DIAL 6137" has good lyrics videos with mood images as background "BangtanSubs" has subtitled versions of other content like behind the scenes videos or mini-documentaries, because the older stuff wasn't officially translated (they started around 2019)

[@rebeccabuxton1324]

If you like deep meaning you will love BTS. Most of their songs, like you say, are open to interpretation. RM, the leader of BTS, has said that they love to see ARMYs interpretations some are surprising and they hadn't thought of themselves. In addition to the open interpretation and the theme of each set of albums they have a fictional storyline, the Bangtan Universe or BU, which runs through many songs, albums, webtoon, mobile games and notebooks. The storyline has not been completed yet. It starts with the song I Need You. Fake Love is a BU song too. If you want to delve that deep ARMY can help you with the order or you can cheat like I did and watch a summary of the story, I like xCeleste's version. I look forward to joining you on your journey. I am 50 year old ARMY from UK by the way 💜

[@skj213]

I recommend listening to more of their music before doing fanmade guides because most of them are biased and/or have misinfo, but anyways I’m looking forward to future videos!!

[@aisitiwinangsih5511]

Their lyrics in many song always make me feel have friends, brother, and their always make hope to their who people hearing their song, like magic shop, anpanman, killer, tear, and many more, sorry If my English language so bad, and thanks for your reac BTS, 👍, their song, music and perform also awesome for me,

[@katherine8876]

Thank you for your time! at first, many things might be confusing, but we're here to answer if you have any questions. Their songs are really deep and meaningful. They have said, that whenever they write a song, they think of something meaninful, that would tell their story or help the listeners to go through hard times. I really liked your reactions, will be waiting for more!
