Thanks for watching the video

The song is about their fear of losing their passion for music and about feeling numb. Some of your interpretation isn’t totally spot on but you definitely got the basic idea. The song is more about how people who lose their passion for art and for life feel inside than about the specific industry pressures BTS face.

[@hafsa1698]

It could be about that too. Just the fact that they're the biggest group in the world is enormous pressure

[@melanieortiz889]

Yeah, they have talked about the meaning behind the song in interviews.

[@annaluczak1402]

Your interpretation is correct. Losing passion for what we had loved, what had been an essence of our life is a fearful idea for every artist, and the burnouts (deaths) are real. The solo dancer is Jimin, who is one of the best contemporary dancers in the industry. Actually, for me he IS the best, and every time I watch any of his performances I am overthrown by his artistry.

[@ashamangal3133]

jimin is not just the best contemporary dancer.,,,,he is best in alll genres of dance,,,,he has trained more in hiphop than contemporary

[@jae8697]

The solo dancer is Jimin. He is one of the two main dancers in the group. Please react to Lie - Jimin stage mix and Serendipity - Jimin stage mix. Really love your reactions.

[@jae8697]

Also please react to Dionysus - BTS comeback stage.

[@yesicac4479]

Black Swan is a MASTERPIECE.. the dance that they did was Contemporary Dance .. one of the members, Jimin (the one who did the amazing dance solos .. with turns and all that) was a top contemporary dance student .. he is amazing (there is a behind the scenes where it only shows Jimin doing his solos and another where all the members come out)

[@lingtonjenner560]

black swan means here "a dancer dies twice,once when u loose your passion and second actual death"

Black Swan is a masterpiece on its own. It's so different, yet so beautiful. If you want, you can react to them performing it live (the performance on Late Show is literally heaven) if you want. They do the choreo you see in the MV live and it's just a pleasure to watch.

[@lbrounen]

You are spot on. It is about losing love for your art.

[@christinalk7930]

Next BTS festa room live please

[@JenAvaShei]

Contrary to you I think the song is more like a 'what if we lose our passion for music' and not talking about it already happening but as you said no matter how you interpret it - at the end there stays the message, that they'll stay strong and continue to walk their path no matter what

[@imajinallthepurple]

They even say "IF this song" but a lot of people miss that rather important little word.

[@nasreen6814]

"A dancer dies twice-once when they stop dancing, and this first death is more painful.” This song talks about their passion for music, they fear the time when music no longer excites them. they dedicated almost their whole lives to music. It's is so beautiful and deep. Also, I love your reactions! Just subscribed! Looking forward to more reactions :)

[@larewi6765]

This quote is from a famous dancer, Martha Graham.

[@noface1693]

This reaction video was amazing, BTS have songs such as Lie by Jimin (he is one of the BTS members and he was the main dancer in this music video of Black Swan), Boy Meets Evil by J-Hope and in my opinion, they have a similar vibe to this one. Some of their more upbeat songs are Mic Drop, Dionysus (which has just a stage mix not a music video), Not Today, Fire...

[@dezza_who6649]

This song isn’t to say they have lost their passion for music, but moreso that they go through periods where they’re absolutely terrified that one day they WILL lose that passion and then they’ll have nothing to live for. Especially for Yoongi and Joon, who have been creating music in one way or another all of their lives and never wanted to do anything else. But they clarify in the lyrics that when they get that panic under control and fight back the anxiety, they realize that it is a baseless fear, because they know that they’ll never tire or music and performing and being with each other

“Black Swan” has to do with the balance with the light and shadow side of our personalities (it has some slight references to the film “Black Swan” which in the film the ‘shadow’ side overcame her/Natalie Portman and led to her demise). This album (Map Of The Soul:7) was inspired by psychiatrist Carl Jung’s theory of individuation that explores the Persona-Shadow-Ego side of our personalities. BTS’ Black Swan is about the fear of losing passion for something you once loved (in this song, BTS refers to their music/art/dance), but finding your way out of that dark place/thoughts to find your passion for it again (the lyrics referencing swimming out of the abyss/waves of negative thoughts). BTS member/leader RM and PDogg were the main writers of this song. There are 2 versions/videos of Black Swan. This one and an orchestral version (which is my personal favorite) and BTS created an art film with MN Dance company from Slovenia for that one which coincided with their “Connect BTS” collaboration with several visual and performance artists and galleries throughout the world. BTS is next level pop music-they’re Art!

[@cche16]

it's contemporary dance and yes, they were inspired by the swan lake ballet. you NEED to react to their 2020 mma live performance. you will be blown away by their performance of black swan. also black swan's live performance on james corden/jimmy fallon.

[@willow1115]

thank you

[@elizzacallos7221]

Basically this is about them singing about being scared losing their passion for their art. Passion for music and what they're doing right now that make them happy and excite them. They said that if this can no longer make my heart beat (means if their passion can no longer make their heart beat and get exited) then maybe it's my first death (first death, means it hurts that your passion no longer excites you and it seems like you die), there's saying that "a dancer dies twice, first is when they stop dancing and second is when they actually die" and that is also apply to this song. Also this also inspired in ballet, that quote also apply to ballerina because they have passion for dancing and when they stop dancing it pains them so much that it can be their first death and that first death was much more painful, it actually apply to all of us who are passionate on something. BTS is dancing contemporary dance here, this song is so deep and it made me happy that BTS is not afraid to say how afraid they are when that moment come, the moment that their art no longer made their heart beat, they're not afraid to show honesty and that's what I love about them.

[@sheetalchand8546]

I love how you always try to understand the lyrics to the best of your ability. And it's amazing how you're always so on point. You appreciate the work put into the video & make an effort to interpret the lyrics. Thank you so much for doing that.

[@lina6186]

The song is actually about them being afraid of losing their passion for music and feeling numb. you see, an artist experiences 2 deaths, the death of their passion for music and then their actual death but since music is an artists life, it kinda is similar to them as just straight up dying since in both cases you lose your life but in the first one, their life is music and in the second one it's literally their life. you do seem to get the idea behind the song it's just a lil deeper :)

[@sheiladepositario4993]

If you watch some of their behind the scenes in making music videos you’ll see how perfectionist these guys are. They’re very hands on to their work. They would repeat and repeat their performance until they get satisfied with the outcome.

[@joaniewwh3502]

personally, since i also love black swan the movie, i do see the inspiration. black swan with natalie portman is a must-watch. it's definitely generally about the struggle of an artist to be the best and also to remain passionate of their craft. black swan the song is about someone's passion and the struggles (the shadow) that comes with it. this is a progressive song though... the first part is about the doubt and fear of losing that passion. the second part is about coming into terms that there will always be a dark side but one must face it head on and never forget why they're passionate about what they're doing - in suga's part it says it all when he mentioned going into the dark and opening his eyes in the studio - it's a portrayal that he remembers it's cos he loves making music. 💜

[@rema51095]

this song is co-written and co-composed by RM, he's not called the wizard of songwriting and composing for nothing 😎

[@sheetalchand8546]

The passion for their music, losing that is killing them thus becoming their first death. Not the music itself that is killing them.

[@itsabaepsaeslife8010]

The BTS Black Swan' Art Film performed by MN Dance Company it also really impressive! And it the orchestra version! English is not my first language so I let some other army better than me with english talk to you in depth about the meaning of this song. Also please check out BTS new song 'Permission to dance ' that will be release on July 9th. I enjoy watching you react to BTS.

[@thanderlin4058]

Pretty good interpretation. They have NOT lost their love for music. I can say for sure that BTS will always want to be on stage - live performances is what they live for. However this song is an acknowledgement that they have a fear of 'WHAT IF' they lose their love for music in general. They love music so much that the hypothetical is a genuine fear them. But hasn't happened yet. This ties into the theme of Jung Psychology about the human identity. You must acknowledge both light and dark within you. This is one of themes their albums are based around.

[@taebun2902]

Bts/kpop idols dance the whole time while they’re singing/rapping. I suggest you to watch their dance practices and you’ll see them dancing the whole time :)

[@nurmadinah3714]

thank you so much for appreciate their work with watched the official video

[@brigittakulberg4237]

Thank you so much for diving deep to their lyrics :) You are close but I think BTS expressed their fear of loosing passion for the music with this song more than that they already lost it. I think what is beautiful about this song is that this fear can strike all the artist in some point or even common people, so basically everyone can relate to it!

[@jenbook8247]

You should watch the beginning of how they started and their awards to know why their songs are so deep. It express the hardship they went through.

[@AngelStuff3]

So there's also a beautiful orchestral version of the song with a ballet dance group that portrayed the lyrics equally beautifully

[@blarmy827]

They’re basically saying that a singer donors two deaths…. The moment they don’t live music anymore and their actual death…. Like the loss of passion and they’re not excited to create or perform anymore… it’s a scary though for an artist

[@yolanderoux2887]

The beautiful thing about the music & videos BTS makes is that it's open to everyone's own interpretation. There is never a right or wrong way to look at it as we all different in the way we interpret things. Yes, they give us guidelines as mentioned below, but once again, open to one's own interpretation 💜

[@mdc1746]

Love your reaction! 💜

[@devamail1]

Jimin was a trained dancer before entering BTS. J-hope won hip hop dance contests before BTS. Other members have learned and worked so hard to get to where they are now. Jin was approached on the street because of his looks. He wanted to be an actor, but has learned singing and dancing with BTS.

[@heyitsalli9173]

Fun fact: one member actually does ballet hehe (the one who has blue hair and does the solo dances)

[@melanieortiz889]

Black Swan talks about BTS and their fear of losing their passion and love for music.

[@cynthiaperez2232]

Jimin (the dancer in the solo shots) has a background in modern dance. Both ballet and modern dance require immense core strength. Jimin has also studied several different martial arts and holds a black belt in Taikwondo.

[@raallicd6836]

Of course its related to movie black swan

Should def watch this live at jimmy fallon or janes corden… black swan choreo and set is incredible how they build that vibe… also the choreo is different and fun…. The dance practice is really cool

There can be no light without darkness. You should watch a video of them talking about this song. The fear of losing passion for what you love doing. It's deep. They do a beautiful job with this performance.

[@stephaniebryant9055]

This could be a connection of many stories about a Black Swan. I think the ballet is about a swan. The Ugly Duckling story is another one.

Borahae (I purple you). 💜💜💜💜

[@olimakiella]

I love that you keep quoting their song titles without knowing it. This time I recommend GoGo, lol.

[@hankakah4180]

I like how you try to interpret the songs, and you were pretty good on this one. There will be some that will throw you for a loop though, and there will be explanation videos as Korean doesn't necessarily translate correctly. RM the leader reads a lot of books, so this song was based upon Carl Jung's philosophy so some of these songs are related to psychoanalysis, and how he uses shadow as a representative of your other self. If you watch Daechwita , Ugh, Ddaeng, you can watch explanation videos on DKDKTV who explain it well as they break down what it means in Korean. If you watch Spring Day, that is a movie within itself, watch the explanation video by Bulletproof vibes, that one has actual film clips that relate to the theory of the music video. There are other explanation videos but they get more into the tragedy itself. Or just ask your viewers, many will know the answer.

[@debrapearson4859]

Good reaction, I love this song and mv, Jimins wings make me gasp everytime, even though I know they are coming, it is a masterpiece. The variety of meanings have already been offered to you, so I won't repeat them. I really hope that people who are meeting BTS through Dynamite and Butter (as much as I love these songs) also discover their amazing backlog.

[@KimmyGibson]

Thank you. Watching and listening to you, at this time, reminds me of how much BTS, unlike groups with other labels, has been encourage and had freedom to do their own 'thing'. I just heard that Bang PD is no longer CEO and though I don't know the specifics yet, I wonder if it will affect the relationship BTS has with Hybe/BigHit and their ability to continue to "do their own thing".

[@jacquereid9958]

You are really doing good! It has been years for me and I still see new stuff all the time. As I’m sure others have told you it’s about introspection. How loosening their love for music & dance would be their death. I’m really impressed with how fast you are catching on! 💜 isn’t fun to enjoy music that is actually saying something?

[@blarmy827]

Oh man you gotta watch this one but live from jimmy fallon or James corden… the stage set ups for all the jimmy fallon bts week they did 5 live performances to different songs each day… and it was incredible how much work and set design the clothes just all the detail… black swan live is a magical thing of beauty…. You have to check it out

[@heyitsalli9173]

You’re pretty much on point. Black Swan contains meaningful, deep lyircs. Such an underrated song. Plus, the mv is a MASTERPIECE. It is inspired by the quote “A dancer dies twice - once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful." by Martha Graham. This song talks about losing one’s passion. Artists don’t talk about that often. It dives deep into the group's fears as artists. BTS contends that the day that music no longer fills them with the same passionate fire as before, or even if there came a day when they stopped creating music - what they feel is their life's purpose - it would feel like death. Two Filipino songwriters, August Rigo and Vince Nantes, composed and wrote lyrics for “Black Swan,” alongside BTS leader RM, multiawarded producer Pdogg and rapper Clyde Kelly.

[@vankirby1762]

I love your reactions! Could you please react to‘Black Swan Dance Practice’? That’s so mesmerizing!! I bet you’ll really love it:D

[@magdalenagabrowska8169]

There is ballet Swan lake that Black Swan movie takes from, all dance in movie is from the Swan lake, and the concept for movie was born from oryginal ballet. So there is a lot you can take from different art and look at this song. And there are the words of Martha Graham that people write. So Yes you got it right they are scared that mucis won't be thier passion and won't make them happy anymore at some piont but even then they still what to fight and make it and music be thier life forever.

[@memejim4331]

You know what 🤔 you are so smart 👀 you got it right 🔥

[@alejandrob1248]

In BTS "universe" there's a theory that might be helpful for this types of songs and MVs and it says that each member represents an archetype or a though from Carl G. Jung psychoanalysis theory (which its BTS takes inspiration from). - Jin is the real human (body and soul) - Jungkook represents the persona ( the one we show) - V is the shadow (the one we hide or tend to stigmatize) - jimin represents a transition or change which always implies a decision that can be surrounded by our conscience (Jhope) and our subconscious (Suga) in other to achieve some of dreams or ambitions ( RM) I don't think it's a coincidence that the chorus is a conversation between jungkook and jimin, then jimin and V and finally Jin to jimin and the verses tends to be a confrontation between Suga and RM and then Jhope with Suga ( when the song becomes more hopeful)

This is the 2nd bts reaction i see this morning... okay okay 👌... when i heard of them years back i thought,,,, oh no another pop boy band 😔... but actually they good...

[@RS-oy6bz]

3 things. 1.The subtitles are wrong there when they say killin me now- subtitles say film me now. 2.The song actually speaks of how much they love doing what they do. And the day they lose this passion it will be there first death, more painful. Inspired by Martha Grahm quote. 3. You talked of fans. That interpretation was incorrect. The connection between BTS and their fandom is unique as no other fandom ever. May sound strange, but it is true. The history of BTS and Army is also unique. BTS were underdogs, shunned by the kpop industry who put roadblocks on their way. A blessing in disguise because they did things differently unlike groups of established companies. This is BTS Army by XCeleste is a good watch to really see what the fandom Army is all about. 4. To know where BTS comes from you could watch these 3 videos all by XCeleste, in your own time without reacting if you dont want to, but I promise their story is awesome. a) This is BTS b) From Nobodies to Legends c) BTS Hardships 2013 - 2021

[@HeatherQuinn]

I personally believe a focus on industry pressures is too narrow a view of what's happening here. As a visual artist, I experience the same conflicts. I don't have an industry sitting on me. This has to do with the nature of creativity. The pressure you feel from inside yourself, which is echoed by people outside you, which you would not be responsive to if it were not a reverberation of what you're feeling yourself, as well as the cyclical nature of creativity, which drives actions, and drives moods as well. When I design, paint, or write something, after it is published, I react by pulling away from it. This retreat is essential to becoming refreshed to be able to make something new. But while it is happening, it feels like a small death. I go through this experience a couple of times a week. Besides this kind of little death thing, there is also a sense of distortion of time. It's a depressing, almost sickening, feeling, altogether. It's taken me many years to learn to bear with it, that I always come out of it, free and open on the other side, and ready to make something new. It is very much like being on a sailboat on a good sea, and a squall comes along and dumps you, and you are struggling underwater, and really struggling I mean, and then after a few hours or a day or two, suddenly walking on the beach, it's a bright day, the ocean is blue, the waves are low, the air is fresh, the damp sand feels good underfoot, and you can do whatever you want. The quality of recovery is so positive, it's what makes the down part of the creative cycle possible to bear with.

[@lelmdrWHO]

You should react to the whole Map of the Soul:7 album 😛 most of the songs you’ve seen are all from that album. “Louder than Bombs,” “On” and “Black Swan” are all from that album. It’s called Map of the Soul based of Carl Jung’s book Map of the Soul and the album uses his psyciatric teaching as a template. The first third are mostly bright, happy songs having to do with the Persona. The middle are all darker, really harsh instrospecive songs having do to do the Shadow, or dark side of the personality. It’s from this section that most of the songs you’ve heard are from. And the rest of the album has to do with the Ego, or the true core self. A lot of those songs are solos or sub unit songs and very personal to the specific members who made them. The whole album is called Map of the Soul:7 . 7 because there are 7 members and they released it in (February ) 2020, when they had been together for 7 years so they named thier album the third 7 making it lucky 777

Thought this one was a bridge too far for me. It didn't feel real to me. The performance is amazing but it didn't have the feel/emotion of the BTS I know. Just seemed a bit out of character. Not a True Army here, just a big fan. Entirely possible I missed the message.
