*DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the songs or videos being reacted to in this video. All credits to the companies that own them.
Also, none of us are PROFESSIONAL musicians. So if you come here for a strict breakdown/analysis of the music, you won’t be getting that. This is strictly my conservatory musician friends taking time in their schedule to watch kpop for fun, and throw in any musical comments that come into their mind! Also please do not complain about any "boring" reactions...some of the musicians have blank faces since they are concentrating so deeply on analyzing the music. On top of that, if you think that they aren't commenting enough on the music, it's because /nothing/ is happening IN the music to comment on. It may be a great song/bop/huge hit that they're listening to, but that does not mean there are actual complicated musical things happening that they'd be able to talk about.

I just found this comment.. I dont why but I always think Jin says hes handsome just to deflect attention from his looks. I think he does the same with his offbeat humour too. Why I came to this conclusion? 1. He said in a video interview that this started after FIRE when started attracting a lot of attention and Jin started getting viral attention. 2. He's never been the narcissistic type except when he says he's handsome. 3. He uses it as icebreaker..especially during interviews. 4. He doesnt do "variety show gay kissy things" or "flirt" with ARMY he's far too blunt and honest. A narcissistic person would have all over it. 5. You can see during RUN BTS episodes that he doesnt mention looks at all.its usually the other members who bring it up if it's at all. 6. In an old Korean variety show he was asked to rank members. He placed Jungkook last and himself first while V placed jhope last. Jin commented you know this is all for a joke right? #JINTLEMAN

The song was meant to be sung by V. I don't think anyone else could perform it better. His voice is unique. And just think about it: RM wrote it in 20 minutes, without changing anything afterwards. Amazing. I simply cannot control the butterflies in my stomach... everytime I listen to it, I discover new facets and layers to the song that I haven't previously perceived. And don't even get me started on the video. It was only after I listened to the whole album that I discovered there were hints about the titles of the songs from the album. Just pay attention to the scenes with the black background and white masks. It was as if he were playing the mime game, inviting us to guess the song title. I would develop on that, but it would be a rather long comment... Great reactions! Hugs to everyone!

8:56 "Their sound is so radio friendly" I'm sad because armys are working hard to get bts played more on radio but so many djs are refusing because it's not an English song

[@tinawalker6770]

Yes I understand why they don't want to listen just b/cuz it's not in English but a true music lover will listen to any language of music and your inner self should tell or connect you to the music without understanding the language. Most English speaking countries feel once they don't understand what you are saying then it's no need to be part of it especially the old folks cuz the young generation are more open minded in the western Countries. Now when it comes to Asian countries the young generation are not as open minded as the westerners that is b/cuz of language barrier (English) they are more to their own languages cuz they don't speak English and their system don't encourage as number one. English language is only learn on a private bases and it is expensive if you want to learn English.

[@qualityname2055]

They’re such hypocrites like how come Despacito can be played? It's literally spanish

[@kickrockspleze]

There is a difference in album songs and promo songs. Promo songs also called radio singles are meant to have the sound that appeals to the mass market. I think if the guy had actually listened to the entire album, all of their albums, he would find the music structure that he thinks does not exist within the group element. The sad thing is he and a lot of others make broad assumptions about BTS's music based on the promoted singles.

[@ashewalker5984]

Singularity really is Stigma’s older brother. They have that same smooth, r&b sound but the lyrics are so so dark.

[@Kekekepeeps]

Ashe Walker right when I first saw that big hit released Vs solo I knew it was gonna have a r&b or jazz vibe cuz they wouldn’t do V dirty and NOT put him in his element 😏

[@ecyoj4735]

*I LOVE IT SO MUCH WHEN MUSIC CRITICS AND EXPERTS COMPLIMENTS TAE'S VOICE!* His voice is still underrated in the kpop world. His pretty face came first before his voice. Thats why videos like this means a lot to me.

[@redrocryo922]

Takara Kim i dont think his voice is still considered underrated because its actually drawn so much attention to him. Yeah hes a handsome dude as well but i believe he is very appreciated in the Kpop community. Plus hes in one of the biggest boy groups in the world

[@devvv919]

i honestly think his voice is super appreciated even a lot of ppl thoughts they liked his voice the most. his voice always praised every time ppl heard it especially from musical experts. the only thing that disappoints me is that bighit doesn't really appreciate his voice probably because it doesn't really fit with their musics instruments and other vocalists, but tbh if they take advantage to tae's voice, it'a going to be blowing a lot of ppl's minds. he has that kind of voice.

[@AlexaHsu-oj5vk]

Detaur I think tae's voice is appreciated within the fandom but if we're talking about the kpop community, I don't really think so.. sadly it has not gotten to that point yet. but to be fair, bts is more known for their synchronized and powerful dance skills tho, not their vocals. as for vocals, i'd say kookie and jimin's voices are the most appreciated in the group

[@snow-bp5tb]

Bangtan slaying since 2013 I think Tae's voice get recognized more by people outside fandom and outside kpop world.

[@byel7985]

I feel the same way

[@emmylia]

I have honestly never loved anyone’s voice as much as I love Taehyung’s voice. Like, the other vocalists in BTS have amazing voices as well, I love them too a lot, I’m not just saying this because he’s my bias, but there’s just something about Taehyung’s voice that gets to me.... It’s so deep and so *smooth* , I’ve never heard anything like it. I mean, of course I’ve heard deep voices before but not quite like Taehyung’s, there’s something so special about his. And his range!!! The fact that he’s a baritone but he can also do incredible high notes is honestly mind blowing. He can go from practically growling to deep smoothness to a higher pitch and it’s like......????????? HOW??????? Tbh what can’t this man do?? Ugh what a legend.

Everything we've seen from BTS over the past few years, and especially in the last two as they've been given more and more creative freedom and control over their work, says to me that they're going to be an increasingly vital force in the music industry for a really long time, not just as popular idols but as real artists.

Singularity is such a haunting song, beautiful and concise, but also very blurred and dark. It's one of my favorites off the new album, but I don't listen to it as much because when I do, I can't stop. The song ends leaving you hanging almost and it doesn't make me feel unsatisfied per se, but it makes me yearn for something, but it's hard to describe. Anyway, I was so excited to see y'all react to this! This channel is such a good one

[@Tahchoices]

dia day Exactly man! I guess that's the feeling they wanted to reach with the song and all within. When it's over,we feel the bittersweet spot in finding singularity through an unknown solitude

[@shishik4571]

Singularity is a huge contrast to Serendipity, and it reminds me of Boy Meets Evil with the vibe and color scheme, but it’s completely different sound-wise with the jazz/R&B influences and V’s deep vocals go so well with it and it’s smooth and slow and it’s just gorgeous

[@mystaee2914]

Alpha Solo it's kinda like an upgraded Stigma. Song wise and lyrics, right?

[@mangogoez]

Alpha Solo I dunno why but I feel like since Serendipity and Euphoria have to do with happiness and love while Singularity is more like an ambiguous thing and it’s kinda mysterious, I feel like Epiphany (Jin’s intro) might be mysterious too but i want a happy Jin :/

[@teddy-vg8xl]

ughhhhhh the blonde girl is sooooo close to what i think the point of referencing Ophelia and Narcissus is in regards to the album theme. Ophelia, who drowned herself because of love, and Narcissus who was so self-absorbed he allows death to happen. That's the theme of the album, highlighted in Fake Love, Singularity, and The Truth Untold. Its the dark side of love - tearing yourself apart for someone who treats you horribly for the sake of their "love". Despite everything that is good for you, returning to that person over and over again, changing yourself for them to the point of not even being able to recognize yourself anymore (the death of self). The masks represent both the persona of what the person in love wants their lover to be (conceals whats really under it) but also the change of self they undergo for the other person. (projecting a different self-image). I think the line about spring and ice melting refers to either hoping, finally, for a change in the person OR finally having the strength to leave the person behind. In those 3 songs in particular, the narrator is Ophelia, willing to kill themselves for Narcissus, who would allow it to happen and not care because the person they truly love is only themselves. Either way, talking about a one-sided, toxic "love" IS a reflection on self-love. Recognizing unhealthy love and overcoming it is one of the biggest lessons in loving yourself. Its recognizing that you deserve the love of someone who can actually return it. That's the theme of Love Yourself: Tear. And Singularity is chock full of symbolism that emphasizes it.

[@Orion_TheyThem]

Yup. This category of Music is called NeoSoul. It perfectly suits Tae and his voice, though. Edit: this song isn't referencing Ophelia or Narcissus. This song is about someone who hid his true self (threw himself into the lake/buried beneath the ice, buried his voice, reached out his hand to cover his mouth) for acceptance. But by the end of the song, he's coming to accept and love himself (the ice will melt and flow away). It's a part of the whole Love Yourself Theme and Campaign. To truly love yourself, you have to accept yourself. Every part of you.

I've never seen Henry react this much on a KPop video. They were times he would say he liked the song or the video, but most of the time he would just go like: "Nah, not to my liking." Then came Singularity and I finally get to see him react SO much. If Taehyung can bring that out of him, imagine what it did to us BTS fans, especially Taehyung-biased fans. I for one almost stopped breathing when watching it for the first time. He's just so amazing. Of course, everyone in BTS is.

I'm not even Taehyung biased (tbh they are all too amazing for me to pick just one so I don't really have a bias. I do however, lean towards Jimin and Suga because, if their personalities and struggles had a baby, it would be me. I relate to them too much too ignore that.) but I totally died when Singularity came out. It was so good visually, lyrically, and musically, that I had it on repeat, which I rarely do for songs.

I thought the Asian guy w/ the glasses and blue/white shirt (sorry forgot his name) listened to more BTS songs but I guess not cause it sounds like he’s only listened to their title tracks. Their title tracks most of the time are usually more radio friendly but when u get into the rest of their songs on their albums they are pretty experimental.

[@anavillegas6199]

Khadijah Said I agree with you. Yes BTS does make radio friendly songs but they also have a wide variety of genre and their nontitle songs are SO GOOD. it's a shame they don't explore more.

[@HarunoAnime]

I agree. It's okay to think that most BTS' title tracks are radio friendly, part of the fandom thinks that as well; however, BTS' discography is so diverse and people tend to forget that side tracks exist, whole past and present albums contain different styles that aren't common in the US music industry.

Taes voice is so unique, I have never heard such a beautiful voice in my life, honestly taes voice is so special to the point where, I can recognize it anywhere anytime. I love JKs, Jins and Jimines voices too, I can also recognize their voices anywhere too lmaoo. They are all really good. I hope BH releases more songs like these 💜🥺

[@BloodHuntress99]

it's the most different in bts lol

[@ivy_tae]

aww man i wish the vocalists were in this reaction because they always complain about kpop mainly having tenors and high pitched voices. This is hands down one of my favourite songs bts has ever put out. Everything about this is perfect.

[@wangxianist]

THANK YOU

[@ilbwfy1550]

Kim Taehyung did THAT. Thanks to Kim Namjoon. *KIMS.*

[@askdkfksjw]

I need someone to translate this to korean and then tag Taehyung or BTS

[@nicefengshui6907]

InfiresMan YES

[@llsa30]

Ask kdiamond she is good at translating

[@gabi-ml8io]

the comment about them musically living up to their status tho

[@rebecagarcia4940]

This song leaves such a yearning need for more songs like this one. Tae's voice literally sounds like liquid velvet an it's beyond amazing. 💓

[@leyn203]

Rebeca Garcia your explanation is on point👌

[@ns529]

Best description of his voice that I’ve stumbled upon!

[@tentenwolfgirl]

The song is my favorite of the album because it gives me a weird form of anxiety but only in a way where my chest tightens and my heart races. This song Sounds so simple rhythmically but it is the use of the instruments during all of it that makes it perfect. It is also pretty slow but it never loses your interest like ballads sometimes do. The dancing is also at a different tempo (or doubled the time of the songs tempo, or the 1ands) the use of the coat rack kills me because it helps show that while some songs are about someone this one is actually about himself so it is him interacting with himself. My friend showed me a joke about this part and hand fetishes and I actually agree. I have not looked at the eng lyrics for the song so I know only a part of the meaning do to being told bits here and there but you can tell this is a meaningful song

[@seemin8286]

The only commentary I didn't fully agree with was what Kevin said about BTS's music sound, but just because I'm pretty sure he has not listened to their entire discography,so I know he's mainly talking about popular hits,which are of course going to be the poppy in your face ones because that's what the general public typically likes/accepts,especially from a kpop group. I agree that they do have a lot of radio friendly songs but not all of them are like that;they've especially changed their sound up on this album Love Yourself:Tear,with tracks like The Truth Untold,134340,Paradise and Outro Tear;including Singularity.

[@anavillegas6199]

Jacinda Cantu yes, I do have to agree with you

[@chrchimx3161]

This album is super great i love it so so much but no offense all of the songs except singularity are radio friendly. Just my personal onion though.

[@chrchimx3161]

+ honestly radio friendly songs arent that bad lol since im not someone who really care about music complexities etcetera (but its pretty fun to learn something from it), id rather listen to the music i genuinely like. If it sounds good for me, then it is.

[@anavillegas6199]

지민chrchimx your words can't be anymore true. I'm the same as you if I like it I like it simple as that, it doesn't matter how complex or simple the song is.

[@jfishxx]

"But he's still in the truck." Honestly this is my favourite video so far, I love this commentary hahaha. Also when they dropped this mv I watched it all freaking day, I absolutely adore this song. Taehyung's voice gives me chills.

[@sweet16awesomeness]

You really can't underestimate bts and bighit in general when it comes to artistry.

[@AlexaHsu-oj5vk]

xXD3STINYXx ikr bangtan are good actors and they have a really talented production and art team.

[@carlosjeronimo7207]

xXD3STINYXx FINALLY A STARLIGHT

[@sweet16awesomeness]

Jung Kookie fan girl lol, trust me there's a lot of starmys around, I've met a lot. But I actually knew BTS first but joined both fandoms at the same time

[@carlosjeronimo7207]

xXD3STINYXx oooooohhhh

[@carlosjeronimo7207]

xXD3STINYXx :]

[@Jvzz_]

"oh that voice" SAME his voice was one of the reasons i fell in love with bts

[@sweet16awesomeness]

Also there was a vocal analysis where they said tae's voice is technically one the strongest vocals in bts. Considering he's the only baritone in vocal line and his range is well displayed in stigma and singularity. I think people need to appreciate his voice more than just his visuals. I may have another member as my bias, but since day 1 of my journey with bts, i knew tae's voice was going to be my favourite. I love all of their vocals ngl, and i have soft spots and i like certain things they do with their voices (ex. jungkook in the 2nd verse of dimple, that high note, jimin whenever his raspy voice comes out, jin - ALL OF AWAKE VOCALS and actually his voice in whalien 52 namjoon' whispered raps and in let me know his half singing half rapping voice, yoongi whenever he does his speak singing thing, and breathing, weird, i know, hobi with his, idek how to describe it...that voice in cypher 3......and tae of course, my most favourite cover of his, someone like you, and in ahl when he sings, "oh happy day~")

[@moonchild1158]

xXD3STINYXx YAAASSSSS! You my soulmate... We feel the same and uh marry me, fam?

[@sweet16awesomeness]

Fandom & Bias Wars be DUMB cuz they all AWESOME Maybe? 😂😂

[@moonchild1158]

xXD3STINYXx ......You classy.. Me love 😍..if only I could post memes in this here comment section, I'd make you mine.. .haha.. .Really though, what you said I really agree with all of it. It's really nice seeing fans appreciating Tae for his talent and not just his looks

[@sweet16awesomeness]

Fandom & Bias Wars be DUMB cuz they all AWESOME even though I wasn't with BTS since their beginning, I was a kpop fan for a long enough time and i'm actually a human with respect so I know how to love another human and appreciate them as a whole and not be shallow. I haven't felt so loved by someone in a while 😂 i've been single for about 3 months now after my first relationship. Lol back to single life

[@mann7298]

yes i feel like his voice also isnt appreciated as much as needed bc his voice isnt necessarily the best fitting to the pop music style. he cant bring out his talent the best way possible you know. jungkook has a great voice for that hence hes the main vocal, but i hope tae gets to bring out his beautiful voice more maybe on some more solo stuff he will release.

[@TheXDayDreamerx]

The concept, the message, everything about this song is beautiful. Taehyung, the whole of Bangtan, they’re just. Wow.

[@mimioang3890]

Yes finally!

[@Alex-sg8xd]

singularity is a masterpiece

[@Xstarzones2]

They really like V deep smooth soulful vocal, I alway love V beautiful deep soulful voice..😍❤

[@marina599]

The dude in the red shirt and glasses is now officially a fanboy! :) yayee....welcome to the club...we have cookies...and Taehyung!

[@kunikuzushis]

They've been having intros since 2014 with RM's What am I To You on Dark and Wild and then The Most Beautiful Moment in Life and Never Mind by Suga in 2015 for HYYH pt.1 & 2. It's not a recent thing.

[@yue_river]

i mean they had intros before “what am i to you” too. intros have been there since the start of their career

[@kunikuzushis]

cassandra cain. You're right. They slipped my mind because I never listen to them. lmao

[@michellep.3519]

Singularity is SUCH an interesting listen!! There's no way I could ever get bored of this song!!

[@akanksha1755]

Thank you so much for reacting to Singularity. V's voice is something to be appreciated. Singularity is the whole package for V's singing, dancing and acting skills as well as his visual. So this mv is one of my favorites.

[@norvapierre-louis1279]

I really like how BTS does EVERYTHING with their music. They include all the concepts, and everything that goes on has a purpose. It's really amazing

[@eniolaajagun7485]

What does kevin mean by a lot of bts songs are radio friendly? Do you think he meant the title tracks? Bts's title tracks are always made more radio friendly to be promoted . Most of bts's music are not radio friendly at all. I think Kevin has only majorly reacted to their title tracks.

[@zenzenzense1562]

Eniola Ajagun Right, I thought the same when he said that.

[@anavillegas6199]

Ik it's a shame he thinks BTS only doesn't radio friendly songs which they don't I really do wish he (and all of them) would explore more because I'm sure he would LOVE their nontitle songs. I mean they are REALLY GOOD.

[@emmgotjams7513]

I understand, but I think that the reactors, Kevin included, refrain from listening to songs in case they react to them. You can't give a genuine reaction of your first time if it's not your first time. Even though Umu has the reaction schedule, it's not when they react to the songs. But yeah, their other songs are definitely much different from their title songs. Especially older albums. Although, their newer ones are pulling in trends in music that are popular nowadays. Yet, they always twist it and make it BTS style.

[@anavillegas6199]

EmmGotJams yes that's a different way of viewing it.

[@albjongames]

Maybe we don't understand what he meant by that... But i agree and you should too... That singularity is completely different from the other songs of bts in many aspects... And i think this style is more appreciated in the classical music listeners.. I think this song it's not about the beat as it is about the feeling and the vibe that his voice gives ... Which their songs even the slow ones doesn't really have... Idk how to express this.. It's very subjective description.. Those who like classical music might understand what i am trying to say.

[@chimmybot6133]

well, it's more like he trapped his heart under a frozen lake which made him act like someone he wasnt but after hearing the sounds of someone crying the ice slowly started breaking. What started happening is that Taehyung started to try to keep the mask he had on to hide his true self but failed as for he didn't want to shiw the person who was crying his true self. It's actually amazing how all of this was made by RM who was thinking about Taehyung while writing the lyrics to this.

[@SaraBendjafar]

king taehyung

[@leyn203]

B.사라 honestly🙌🙌

[@xzjde777]

Hurricane Katrina? More like Hurricane Tortilla. Kim Taehyung? More like King Taehyung.

[@jav4346]

The guy who described the song as sounding as if you’re drowning under water: genius! I’ve been trying to find a way to describe the way it sounds ever since I first heard it and that is spot on

[@kthwas336]

I live for Taehyung s voice and everything bout this mv

[@kaiforger9621]

Oh my God. I think I would be sooo nervous if I ever get the chance to talk with Henry... Seriously, he looks like he knows so much and talks as if he is an expert in... EVERYTHING??!! Everytime I see him talking about something I just think "wow, I wanna be like this when I grow up"

[@shishik4571]

There’s also a lot of juxtaposition in te video with the movements versus the song and I love how active and precise the choreo is when the song is mellow and you wouldn’t expect such sharp movements to work so well with a song like this

[@marcehc2181]

2:02 was legit me when I first saw this MV. Tae's voice never ceases to amaze me.

[@PRIYASINGH-bi4qb]

Yes taetae voice is just amazing....I can't stop listening it again and again

[@reitokira145]

Its weird how no one mentioned about his looks...he literally looks like a God in this MV

[@oyabi76]

guess it's good that people start to recognize Tae more from his talents than his looks but yes he looks really good here

[@nalaa9618]

Bc they are doing what normal people would do. JUDGE HIS MUSIC not his looks 🙄

[@poalrichard770]

The fact that they didn't talk abt his looks makes me love their reaction en the video even more it's better to talk abt talent than the looks

[@raerohan4241]

Maybe because they thought it was such an obvious thing that it didn’t need to be said 😄

[@carolgonzalez6312]

YES!!!!! I'm still fangirling with V's deep voice

[@wooden_girl]

the reactors look so tired in this, awee ily guys sm & appreciate everything you do. this is one of the few reaction channels i love because it's actually focused on the music and real things that need to be noticed rather than *just* looks. ily umu, tysm.♡

[@ciaanbll]

V STAN💕🙋🏻‍♀️

[@diyasini4231]

I love V's voice. It's so unique and it can surprise us in many ways.

[@symmetrykidkun8]

When the song first dropped, my jaw immediately dropped on that first note. I knew it was going to be amazing.

[@rimhmandi1281]

You should watch it with the lyrics on. This song is just lit and the message is clear !! nobody else besides V could have done this song !! It was made for him and his unique voice.

[@kingkha9363]

the lyrics were on... 5:35

[@moonbabie771]

lemme just say something, t a e is an i n c r e d i b l e actor if you really focus at the end where he has a mask on (with the black inked tear), you can see that he actually shed a tear, and you can see the tear roll down over the black tear- :,(

[@kikisandoval2605]

Gurchet how the heck have I watched this so much and not noticed that 😮

[@moonbabie771]

Kiki Sandoval, that’s exactly how i felt when i first found out :,((

[@equilikua]

One of my favourite songs on their latest album!! I am so happy you guys reacted to this, the comments were very interesting 💜

[@chanbaekisreal1742]

i love taehyung's voice so much

[@seredipintomyheart507]

Bro I love Taehyung’s voice so much every time he sings It puts me in a trance 😭💜

[@toyboxterror]

i almost cried when i saw the notification omg- im so so glad you guy love Singularity! its a really dark and mysterious song and should be appreciated-

[@lamppost7941]

the teasers were always solo-ish. what about nevermind, hyyh, what am i to you, o!rul8,2? a tiny nitpick, but that part of the video made me :(

[@ddisasterr]

agustdamnit same :/ BTS didn't start only with Wings (even though is kinda my fave album), but I have the impression that people only know them since that era :/

[@youdoyou9735]

Yeah, it was normally the rappers that did intros, but now the singers are doing things, and I'd say it's more likely that people like singers in general because rap is a genre so only some people will like it. Therefore, the vocal line starting to do intros probably brought a lot of attention to the intros. (I think some of RM and Suga's previous intros are some of my favourite BTS songs. They are incredible.)

[@ddisasterr]

You Do You I think also that the whole LY series is protrayed by the singers so they are in charge to do the intros now, is kind of their era (which is awesome). However I'm kind of sad that people often forget about the intros made by the rapline and overall their old songs. Those are amazing as well. I'm not a really fan of rap but BTS rapline made me their hoe, their lyrics, deepness and fierce while they perform them reaches my soul Still I understand than not everybody can have the same taste on music but I feel that those songs aren't even looked at

[@youdoyou9735]

haha that's true! That's why you gotta look out for those people in the comments who are like "damn, I don't normally like rap but this is lit" and let them know about some other fire they might like. :)

[@jaceus]

i was like ?????? too lol i prefer yoongis intros + boy meets evil over all of the vocal intros and my bias is jimin lmao it was disappointing to hear her say that though because it makes it seem like no one cared about the intros until the vocal line made them :(

[@norfz4217]

its am amazing and rare type of song v rocked it

[@girlwithapearlearring4522]

The guy in the red check shirt is so genuine and pure I love him.

[@bribread]

3:48 On the left- My favorite reactor out of this entire series. Literally always seems to compliment the artists and sum up what I’m thinking. Took the words out of my mouth. Singularity, truly, is a work of art.

[@Lyn-dl2du]

The most anticipated reaction! They always make me see the song in a various perspective, ecspecially to explain the musicality I feel but cant describe.

[@jayhopek4984]

I just want to let you know that he no longer goes by Rapmon he prefers RM Loved the video ❤️

[@amanduuuh_7117]

Wow i also felt that way, like floating through the whole song but didnt really notice i was waiting for the chord to change but yes thats totally it. This song was simplistic but a whole damn mood. . Also about BTS being radio friendly, lets be frank, they dont have much of a choice in making at least half of the songs on each album radio friendly and catchy and predictable. But every album ALSO has songs like this that are NOT radio friendly and ARE musically driven. Obviously ya'll cant react to ALL of them but I personally think BTS does a great job of balancing their generic (yet still internally written/produced) songs with the authentic music they take ownership of. It's part of why I respect them so much. They play the game and do their mainstream hustle but still write music and lyrics that reflect their true thoughts and tastes. Take 13430 off this new album. Truly unique and NOT radio friendly at all but ALL about the meaning and the sound the producers (RM and Suga) were feeling at the time. Just my two cents. As always, LOVE the reactions. Really gives me something to think about.

[@airbear8495]

His voice is beautiful

[@Aryaa238]

I can't put into words how much I love the fact that they can appreciate this song, the video and Taehyung's voice. V is absolutely amazing and I love that he was the one who sings Singularity.

Thank you for appreciating Tae's voice!!! And BTS music in general 😊💜👍

I've been looking forward to this for forever. I was so surprised by Henry's reaction, he usually never has such a positive reaction.
