SK has the highest rate of youth suicide in OECD countries. There is a lot of pressure to do well. This song has a lot of meaning for many. Saying. Come looking in your heart. Have a cup of tea. It will be okay. You are important. Such an important message.

[@SirHairless]

🙏

[@whisper4423]

This is a special song for ARMY and has great meaning. It basically, at the end, is saying that ARMY gives the best to BTS (and helps them be their best), so they want us to also give our best to ourselves. Lovely sentiment. I never enjoyed rap before BTS. Now I am an ardent fan of the rap line. I find the rap and vocals to be very cohesive throughout all of BTS's work. I don't really know of any other group that incorporates both so well and so often. Just another thing that makes them special. I would challenge some of your commentors below to listen to a few more BTS songs before deciding. They are extraordinary because they cover so many genres - not just pop. 95% of their music is written/composed by themselves so they have complete freedom to do as they wish. Thank you for the knowledgeable reaction.

[@SirHairless]

Thanks for the comment! Yes, I'm keen to see music by them that would fit into different genres 🎶

[@juneseghni]

The lights are called ARMY Bombs. The current models sync up via bluetooth and can be centrally controlled through an app, allowing formations of lights in the crowds, such as hearts.

it's a concert in japan, so they are speaking japanese. jk is saying something like "ah i want to hear armys (the audience) voice more" and jhope and the others are chiming in with things like "more" and "louder"

[@SirHairless]

Cool, thanks! 🇯🇵

[@borreguitoazul]

As you mentioned, V takes care of the low notes, because he is the only baritone in the vocal line, he also has a natural deep voice; but it should be noted that his vocal range is the widest of the group and he has great vocal versatility. As for not as, he is the one who gives the lowest in the vocal line (rappers are baritones like him), but he is also able to sound without depth and high pitched. Most of the songs of BTS are in the 4th and 5th octaves, V usually sings in the same notes as the tenors but sounds different because of the thickness of his voice, he can also reach high notes in the 5th similar to those of Jin and Jimin. And something else you mentioned when talking about rappers, actually everyone can do melodic rap and even sing, just like vocalists can rap.

[@jeremyjann]

It is Jin who has the wildest range, not V. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnqupWemerBogZosi=nhZf3v7M43L10LxW

About the galaxy, you spotted it well. In Mikrokosmos (bts song), each individual is describe as a precious light with our own stories, history, rings in a tree. And together we form a universe, a galaxy. In the dark we see each other shining and speaking the same, unified, we give each other strength and shine more brightly. Fyi, RM writes a lot of bts song lyrics and he loves some themes like galaxies etc he finds them beautiful to write with

[@mev9752]

This song lyrics is based on RM speech on the hyyh concert. He also co-wrote the song.

[@MarinaEariel]

All of the rappers sing every now and then, but j-hope is the one among them most likely to do it. He's also sometimes in the background vocals. He was introduced during their early days as what the idol industry calls a "sub-vocal", just like Jungkook was introduced as a "sub-rapper" and had some rap bars at the beginning

[@Moonastronaut]

[@erume5776]

they once did an army survey (literally hundred of thousands armys have submitted their answers) and the "What's your comfort song?" top list was: 1. Magic Shop 2. Answer: Love Myself 3. Life Goes On 4. Spring Day 5. Mikrokosmos i'd love you to see Mikrokosmos live performance actually, there's one posted on BANGTANTV channel, Special Cip SY in Seoul 2021BTSFesta 💜

[@jimjimcherie]

I completely agree with most of this! Mine are al of those, except instead of Spring Day and Mikrokosmos I listen to Fly To My Room and Paradise (in no particular order) and Dream Glow.

[@evantesseract737]

My list is maybe in a different order but it all works :) I actually lean on Zero O'Clock a fair amount., and Spring Day isn't a comfort song for me exactly. But this list doesn't surprise me at all. I actually thought of Mikrokosmos too, especially when he mentioned the galaxy theme and the army bombs. Yes, that reference isn't an accident :) and Mikrokosmos is exactly that. Plus it's just a lovely song.

[@4ever7IN21]

​@@evantesseract737zero o'clock is one of my favorite too.

[@kaliska.]

I love this song for it's lyrics but perhaps things like V's Tiny Desk would be a better recommendation for this channel. Or some of RM's works - Wildflower, Lost!, Come Back to Me.

[@aaronkingtan]

If you want to continue discovering new songs by BTS and its members, I recommend these, you will probably like more musically than Magic shop: -Stigma (V) -Awake (JIN) -Outro Tear (Rap Line) -The truth untold (Vocal Line) -Film out (Group song) I love your analysis, keep it up

[@evantesseract737]

Agreed! I might toss Your Eyes Tell onto this list, and a few more of their solo songs - RM's Wildflower, maybe? Yoongi's Snooze, especially with some of the background about how the piano part came about. I'm trying to decide on a Hobi solo but I'm not sure if More would be an interesting one to analyze... For so many people I'd be suggesting Blood Sweat and Tears.... on a different reaction I did suggest he do Save Me and I'm Fine back to back :D I really loved your list and just wanted to toss a few more ideas onto the end of it. :)

[@aaronkingtan]

@@evantesseract737 thank you, I also love the songs you added 🫶

[@pyejammiesfanfic640]

Somebody has suggested you react to Yoongi’s (as August D) ‘Snooze’. It’s an interesting one with the piano part written by Ryuichi Sakamoto and the sung part by The Rose’s, Woosung. J-Hope is a lead rapper and sub vocalist. He isn’t counted as part of the vocal line but he sings a lot and harmonises really well with the vocalists. He’s actually their lead dancer and dance captain. The call and response in this is a very important part. JK will sometimes start singing that as he leaves the stage and it initiates quite an amazing feeling as he sings it and the audience responds. There’s a sketch that goes with it in which JK,is feeling very down and goes to the Magic Shop where shopkeeper, Jimin, tries to find a way to heal him by sending him to see the other members who each try but fail until eventually he’s given something which gladdens his heart. It’s always worth looking at Doolset Lyrics to find a good translation of their songs. The South Korean audiences react to the rappers because they understand what they’re saying. Those of us who don’t speak Korean have to work at it. BTW, most Idol groups have their own light stick. BTS’ ARMY Bombs are synched to the stage.

[@debsissons6841]

Nice reaction. The screaming starts when RM starts rapping because the members all start to move to different areas of the stage to have contact with everyone. You will notice there is no dancing. This song is all about interaction with ARMY & BTS.

[@rachel-dc4ti]

this song is so comforting to me! i was an elementary school student when i found bts and they helped me so much in school, this song as well is another reminder that there is a place for you with them, that even when the world is hurting you, you still belong somewhere. even if the song is not all that structurally interesting, i find the lyrics the most important part of it. i’m a big fan of lie and house of cards and all, but i think these songs where they directly talk to us (like 2! 3! for example) touch something inside of me as a fan. i was is a really bad place mentally for most of the time i’ve been a fan (since 2014) and they were one of the only things that helped encourage me to see each day through.

[@HailToTheMeep]

As a non music person I found this musical analysis endlessly fascinating. So thank you. There was a behind the scene filming of Black Swan in a theatre in LA where Taehyung or V was fooling around pretending to sing the opera. He sounded like he could be an opera singer. A tenor perhaps. I am curious to see what you think. It is only a split second though. Two of the rap line were underground rappers. J Hope was a dancer who became a rapper. Thanks again!

[@alinamaria3147]

I think V's Singularity is one you would find interesting from a musical POV :)

[@glorygloriana369]

Do react to BTS Jin's Epiphany LIVE. I'm sure you will love from your music preferences

[@danievasquez3394]

And Awake! Personally, I love the strings in that one. ❤

[@merylgorge636]

You are correct in that V is a baritone with a high range. He harmonizes in octaves with Jimin. The rappers all can and do sing, even J-hope who was singing here.

[@الهام-ق2ص]

Jimin voice so beautiful ❤❤

[@judyburgess3357]

Yes the audience is huge. V is a baritone. J hope sings very nicely as well as rapping, watch their Tiny Desk concert, great songs and emotions. Rapping and singing are basic to many BTS songs, the lyrics are always relevant. Another song I think you would enjoy is Crystal Snow, some beautiful singing.

[@flovonnejohnson707]

14:15 Yes, jhope is mainly a rapper but he does incorporate his vocals in songs from time to time

[@CookieMOA143]

V can only sing on 2 octaves according to Yoongi. He said in Suchwita that Jin was the only one in the team able to sing on 3 octaves. We love his impressive range for a baritone though! Such a beautiful and soulful voice...

[@lindajohnson325]

@@kuroro9949 “Kim Taehyung: The lowest note I’ve heard him hit is an Eb2 (Taehyung vs Yoongi High and Low Note Battle), but the lowest one I’ve heard him properly sing is a G2 .

(His high note it ‘Stigma’: BTS V - 'Stigma' [Han|Rom|Eng lyrics] [FULL Version] -3:05) Eb2 to G5 is 3 octaves, 2 tones and a semitone.”

[@marshaanderson2677]

V has the biggest range and is more naturally a baritone. If you can, you will get a better idea if you listen to the Tiny Desk concert or the MTV recording of the cover of Coldplay's Fix You. If you choose to listen to any of their individual ones, V's Tiny Desk one is quite interesting. It is more in the jazz genre.

[@sooh6299]

I never used to listen to rap, but then I discovered bts, and now I love it. With rapping it's more rhythm and cadence that I listen for when I don't immediately understand the language. That said though, I grew up not understanding 70% of the lyrics to the music i listened to. It wasn't until I learned English i could latch on to the lyrics. To this day there are Michael Jackson songs i know very well that i don't know the lyrics to.

[@lujvadz9844]

Check out Jin's and V's solo songs. For V I suggest his tiny desk korea for live performance And for Jin- Astronaut MV

The screams are incredibly loud! The loudest sound I only I ever heard was in their PTD Las Vegas concert when BTS first came out on stage! It was an incredible experience- the best concert experience ever for me.

[@marinateixeira3637]

[@busilin2487]

The first time I listened to Magic Shop, I also felt the same way. I thought, “ Not my type of song.” I was not an ARMY then. Now, I can’t listen to it without tearing up. It’s so beautiful but the beauty of the song really comes once you get to know the essence of BTS and who they are and what they mean to ARMY which is so much more than just fave artists to fans. The meaning of the song and their intention behind it is so much more than what can be summarized in a few words. Thank you for reacting. More power to your channel.

[@beth5870]

The “aye aye” in the rap parts are usually done only on a live stage, you won’t hear that on studio recordings ( not that I have noticed anyway). It is like supporting or emphasizing the rap. Not sure how exactly to say that, besides that they are not really an official part of the song. I am not a big rap fan, but with BTS, I do enjoy it more especially Suga’s rap. I have not been able to get into the rap line songs such as the Cyphers, but I do appreciate their talent in that area.

[@evantesseract737]

Yeah the live rap ad libs aren't usually on the track, you're totally right. It's a performance thing, hyping up your rapper. I was actually a little startled he didn't seem to know that, but I guess a lot depends on your musical background 💜

[@rjs722]

Other Army have provided the explanation to this song. Its a great comfort to Army and such a special song. BTS and Army has such a special bond and songs like this cant really be explained.

[@ruthfischer7615]

Personally I like the song but than I'm not a musician and can't hear "all that" untill an expert like you shows it to me. But to me sound and lyrics are beautiful. Thank you! Galaxy, Wings, Night and similar themes play a big roll in BTS lyrics as they are about moving forward and up. "The magic shop is a technique used in psychodrama. A therapist helps the protagonist create an imaginary magic shop where the protagonist can sell whatever they would like and buy whatever they would like." Usually something "bad" is exchanged for something "good". Since we are talking about therapy we are exchanging emotions not physical things. For example exchanging hesitation for sureness. BTS has song like Mikrokosmos, 134340, Moon (Jin), moonchild (RM) - some of the songs landed on a Nasa playlist for the next moon mission. BTS Queen is the song "Spring Day" - it's beautiful and hasn't left Korean charts since 2017 - It's SK longest charting song and there can't be many records it has not broken. As a musician I think you may like Suga's song that he dropped under Agust D "Snooze (feat. Ryuichi Sakamoto, WOOSUNG of The Rose)" in 2023. (May Ryuichi Sakamoto rest in peace) You nice! Keep going! 💜

You are right about V having a lower set voice, generally speaking. He does also have quite a wide range, which comes in handy, because BTS songs can go quite high. 😊 His voice goes extremely well with Jimin's, listen to Mikrokosmos on Jimmy Fallon to hear that. As for the rap...you might want to listen to Daechwita and see what you think about that. 😊

I discovered BTS 1,5 years ago when I was at my lowest and they saved me. I would like to hear your thoughts on one of my favorite BTS songs - 134340. The production and the lyrics of this song are so unusual and fresh. Hope you can listen to it. Good luck and take care of yourself.

Love your reactions, I first found you when I got into BTS very recently via JK. Was sad to see you hadn’t done many … I hope you do more! Though their concert clips are amazing to fans, for someone with your expertise cleaner recordings may be better. The Tiny Desks folks have suggested for V and BTS would be great, but maybe also On Kinetic Manifesto, to see the range of their 7 vocals mixing singing and hip hop. (and spectacular dance)

[@4ever7IN21]

Definitely ON

[@pslinky]

I think ARMY (BTS fans) like both the rap & vocals. I was never a huge rap fan before this, I was super picky about what rap I liked, but BTS fits the bill. I love hearing the rapline songs, and the vocal line songs, and love them the most when they're all together. I'm 51 btw, & their music has saved my life & kept me going through the years of tragedy- losing my mom ,sister, sisters husband and an auntie in a 4 month period then 2 years later losing my husband plus other random trauma lol. They heal the soul just by being themselves & singing/rapping about their thoughts & experiences. BTS & ARMY have been through a lot together. It feels like more than your standard para social relationship 💜 Eta 15:54 it is an amazing experience to be with them in concert. It's truly magical. Best concert of my life and I've seen almost all genres in concert

[@4ever7IN21]

Just thought I'd say hi and sorry you had to go through so much loss at once. I lost my husband until 2021 ( and use his name here) and my mom last year. BTS has a gift for healing. They are my warm hug and happy smile. Their dancing caught me, their lyrics and chaotic personalities lead the way down the rabbit hole. I never looked back. Would love to attend a concert.

But then a day came when the message got through on a very dark day: "you give me the best of me, so you'll give you the best of you", tears fell and this song is never ever not gonna be beautiful to me, whether it's musically intricate or not :) Also, "magic shop" is a name of a psychotherapy technique and once you read up on it, you understand the "so show me, I'll show you" line's deeper meaning. Enjoy the journey!

you have to turn CC on and choose english for lyrics and every single BTS song you can find a video with eng subs. try putting eng subs with title in your search. also you will find a lot of their songs have specific parts for ARMY to sing, either a call and response, or just a part to sing or echo. A BTS live concert is put on by BTS and ARMY , they work together and it's AMAZING! They did a live for a ama awards or maybe it was billboard, called DNA it was released the day before and the ARMY in the audience knew their part and blew the roof off the place.

beautiful analysis

[@k.h.7732]

Thank you for taking the time to learn the names of all the members and their roles in the group. I enjoy BTS having a rap-/vocal- line because it gives so much variety to their music. You asked about what moved us more - lyrics in the rap part or the vocal part. To me, it all blends nicely because the rap part allows to say more (more words, more complex message) while vocals build and make emotions flow and make it easier to participate in the song (at least to me singing alongside is easier then the rap parts).

[@purple428]

i think you would find their songs: 134340 - BTS Dead leaves - BTS Outro: Tear -BTS (only the rappers) Black Swan - BTS (there’s 2 versions, the spotify version and the orchestral version on youtube) Intro Shadow - BTS ( this is a solo from suga one of the rappers) very interesting, you’ll never guess what’s coming 🫢

[@debbiepenny465]

I LOVE Black Swan, ON, and Danger. I love the individual member’s music, especially V’s, because I love Jazz. Would really appreciate you doing some, or all of these. Also, this is not A Dimash reaction, but if you ever get a chance, I would love to hear your reaction to Dimash singing, “ You Raise Me Up”, with children in China. Emotional!❤❤🇺🇸

[@jii-e7d]

as always highly interesting video. thank you very much. bts puts a very high priority on peforming the music, so they often write music for the stage first & foremost. the stage IS the magic shop for them & us, so yea, the concert experience is always the most intended experience for them when creating & composing. don't sleep on the musicality of the rapline though. you reacted to vocal line song so you could pin point their differences so well alrady, but, (while this song was certainly not a rap heavy song) if you would (through a rapline song for example) look at their rapping just as another instrument they use to convey the music, you'd see how DIFFERENT they are in their musicallity. the simplest summary army often uses is, RM goes with the flow. suga goes against the flow & jhope invents a flow. same goes with their lyris (or it's poetry better said) that is inseparable from bts's music. one analyses the world. one criticizes the world, one celebrates the world. same goes to the dancing, being one of their instruments to convey the intention of the music. it ALL plays into the orchestra of BTS's *music* . and this whole package is what makes their art so unique, special and effecitive. ps, you would have SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much fun reacting to RM's newest solo album "right place wrong person" as the title already implies, it's quite alternative, jazzy, experimental, out of the box, & just such a free playground. i'd LOVE to see your analysis around it!!!

[@addison5938]

You are correct that V is a more natural baritone but he does have quite a range and can sing some surprisingly high notes.

[@shannonslutzky4754]

The rappers in BTS are some of the best I’ve ever heard. I do believe ARMY overall loves all 7 (though of course there are solo Stan’s) I fell in love with the rapline first but love everyone. The 3 rappers, in particular RM and Suga have often been the main writers for BTS.

MY FAVE SONG

[@lauriemartin490]

My personal musical taste is very diverse. As a kid, my parents listened to a lot of classical music, big band music, folk and country music and early rock. It really set me up to have a deep appreciation for the many ways music as an art form can be expressed. I discovered rap back in the early days of hip hop and fell in love with its lyricism and cadence. I think rap music and melodic music hits me in very different ways (maybe different parts of my brain?) I love that I can have it all as a music fan by just listening to what fills my heart. BTS came to me later in life and I have fallen in love with their music and the message in their lyrics. I just realized how often I say 'fell in love" when talking about music, lol. But to be fair, when people around me have disappointed me, music never has. So love is perfect word to describe my relationship with it.

[@sushmo7100]

It’s been a slow-burn process for me, which says a lot about the album’s complexity. I devoured Golden on repeat for a month like a diet of pastries, and by contrast Mono, Indigo and RPWP are creeping into my playlist and psyche slowly but surely. (Along the way JHope has emerged as my 💜… how does that happen? 😂)

Jimin voices 👏👏

Thank you for your intricate analysis of the musical infrastructure of "Magic Shop"! 💜 I've binged all of your BTS reactions just now and much enjoyed all of them; I would recommend the jazzy solo "Stigma" by V and the more classically inspired trap-pop track "Black Swan"!

Thank you! And for the recommendations 👌

Thanks for your reaction and sharing your thoughts on Magic Shop! Given your stated preference for musically interesting songs, I’d love to hear your thoughts on any of RM’s new music in Right Place, Wrong Person. It’s somewhat of an alternative/experimental album, and has some really interesting composition. Domodachi, Lost, and Come Back to Me all have videos and could be interesting to check out. 😁💜

If you would really like to see a BTS live performance, try the 2019 MMA Awards show. Mind blowing

I really love your reactions and i really recommend you to react to Tiny desk concert where they sing 3 songs :) I look forward to your next reaction :)

[@SirHairless]

Thanks for the recommendation!

Boa noite, vc precisa ver a legenda para entender o q eles falam. As músicas do BTS são muito potentes. Antes de assistir as apresentações veja a letra e o significado sempre. Todas as reações tem q ter legendas, isso é obrigatório. Só assim vc poderá entender o amor entre BTS e ARMY. Sou uma ARMY de 47 anos com orgulho. Amo esses 7 anjos maravilhosos.

Good evening, yes the subtitles are in the video

The "ay ay" bits are a remnant of classic hip hop "hype men" echoes.

Jimin’s voice always comforts me

[@smallmoments957]

I enjoyed this video and the message behind the song. Thank you.

[@TEHIYA85]

I love this song 💜

[@zumnnazumnna7132]

Bts "So What" performance is ery awsome❤❤

[@denisedellasantina1643]

Fabulous hype song, but less musically complex than Magic Shop, so maybe not for a channel such as this, with its great analysis?

[@aliciaenriquezk]

Liked your reaction, here a 61 year old Mexican army! This song always moved me! 💜💜💜🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽💜💜💜

I love both the singing and the rapping parts but if I had to pick one that I think gets the message across more, for me it's the rapping. I think it's partially because of the nature of rap and how much more you can fit into less time. You're not elongating words and are more likely to have shorter/quicker bursts of lyrics so more of the message can be set out. Also the genre of it was built to handle opening up in a storytelling format and getting vulnerable in a way that isn't as glossy and shiny as it seems when feelings are sung. Again in my opinion. It always hits me hard when they rap about their struggles and insecurities and I find myself relating a lot more strongly. The rappers are who sold me on trying out BTS in the beginning and now I'm so glad that I got to really fall in love with the vocalists too. Love all of our 7 guys so much. This song is probably one of my faves because of how much comfort it's brought me and how many ARMY lives it's helped saved. And just musically it's so beautiful.

I would recommend "Crystal snow" live performance by BTS. That song has amazing vocal and rap parts. Also their "Come back home" the best for me

[@ThirdAccount-og3ou]

Check wildflower by RM pleasee, its a rap song with deep lyrics and interesting sound, sooo good. Its from his solo album Indigo😊

[@mambuchaa]

Taehyung's voice and visual aaaaaaahh🤌

[@naiyaanya]

There are still lots of really cool BTS songs that you must react to, please make lots of reactions to BTS songs, we will be back to watch

[@zulaaislynn]

You gotta do V's Stigma live....you won't regret it.
