The Kulture Study: TXT "Run Away" MV

[@appreaciator]

i feel like txt is such a versatile group. no matter what the concept is, the members are all able to pull it off and make it their own.

[@peterdonlon2083]

Dude they have two comebacks and like 8 songs total. You have no idea if they will be good at changing concepts yet.

[@appreaciator]

​@@peterdonlon2083 theyve done Crown which was a cuter, lively concept; 9 3/4 is a story driven concept with darker music; one of their stages, New Rules, is something unlike what ive ever heard before with a cooler image; another one of their tracks, Nap of a Star is a ballad that gives them a softer look, which they excel at. Of course this is just their first comeback, but already I can see how versatile they are.

[@飞妃]

Yes. I agreed. I like your comment.

[@strshells]

id say when they have more comebacks i can get a better sense of if theyre versatile, crown and run away arent that different from each other~

[@monstkuki1738]

@@strshells for me crown and run away are different from each other. Both of the songs also gave me a different vibe , run away isn't a cheerful youth vibe anymore it kinda dark. So i don't get it when u say 'aren't that different'

[@ghostin9]

i personally think that bighit took a whole different route music wise than all of bgs this year. you hear trap beats tropical house and horns all the time and txt is like a breath of fresh air to me honestly

[@chiaravallini532]

Julia Świątek OMG exactly. I am not saying that those other bg songs were bad.. I actually enjoyed them as well, but I have to say that it was getting kinda of repetitive. Txt is definitely fresh and unique

[@gunmins]

may i know what do you think "all of the other bgs" are releasing?

[@SisselTheCat]

@@gunmins not her but many bg title track releases this year feels they follow the current trend. In a sense, you might think they share the same people who produce and compose their music

[@gunmins]

SisselTheCat i dont see that but then again i listen to almost everything that's released not only popular groups so that might affect my view compared to the majority of people who just watch the more popular groups

[@stine9974]

[@renjunist4083]

tbh i think this is one of the best kpop songs of 2019....... i feel like people dont take them seriously enough as a group?? but??? they are amazing???

[@Setetoto]

gabi loves renjun i think because(okay dont wanne be rude here) because their debut was quite a generic song/ bighit played very safe. While this is a very experimental song it worker out very very good imo. One of my faves of this year

[@Unknown-ph8ii]

damn who's people i wanna talk to them but seriously i have only seen positive comments on them and ofc the childish comments about them being too privileged but overall they're even winning roty for mama soon votes are up to 40% compare to others are 11% and lower

[@yunahsmoon]

i agree. run away is a really catchy song + their cb album is one of the most refreshing albums this year. not a single bad song. i don't stan, but their songs are really really good. their debut concept is one of the reasons ppl aren't taking them seriously imo and that's on bighit.

[@bipede]

Agreed

[@romanedelrue7511]

@@Setetoto Bighit plans out a lot of thing in advance and what they wanted to do here was to set txt apart from bts which is something they did successfully. While Runaway is still different from BTS' music, it would have attract way more comparisons if it was their debut song. Also as their main theme is growing up, there has to be a more youthful phase. I agree that it was kinda conventional although the trend for bg being darker/sexier or EDM songs, they didn't 100% play it safe, at least imo.

i feel like bighit really does the nostalgic, mysterious, carefree, happy w each other concept good. the whole mv and story of the hyyh era and this dream chapter just makes you happy and sad and it feels as if the moment will slip away from you too easily? idk what it is but bighit is doing that good. the only group that makes me feel that same vibe is gfriend with their school concept.

[@disly_strawhat]

This is my first time watching a reaction by you and I’m hella impressed. Such a professional and unbiased analysis. I love when people go this deep into the content because so much effort goes into Kpop art...especially with the universes that BigHit has with their artists. I definitely love the direction they are going in. Their debut was awesome but I clearly see their maturation as more of their members move into adult status. Some people forget that they keep their content appropriate for their underage members. I expect more amazing music from them. Thanks for this! Edited: added my thoughts on TXTs CB

[@formoftherapy]

Thanks for watching!

[@romanedelrue7511]

This! I like that their theme is about growing up. It allows an evolution of the music and the visuals, a variety of genres and like you said they are staying in age appropriate concepts. I don't want to act like the mom of kpop groups but when you see that some group's members are debuting younger and younger and are doing sexy-ish concept, it makes me uneasy. For now only two members aren't underage and I do hope people will keep that in mind.

[@ash.613]

[@kee3318]

I was so invested in the song that I didn't even realize how good the production of the video was until I watched this video.

[@chimmiebomb]

Psst~ here’s some thoughts: The Dream Chapter: MAGIC -> Harry Potter themes - the alternate title is called 9 and 3/4 - “Bippity bopitty the train is about to depart” -> Cinderella’s fairy godmother as well as another HP reference (the train) - “so the summoning spell can connect us together” -> yet another HP reference. There’s a spell called /accio/ that’s used to summon things - the music itself is inspired by HP. Those little twinkling chimes are straight out of the HP score and theme A surprising amount of reactors didn’t catch on to the Harry Potter stuff which is a little disappointing to say the least. But I guess not everyone has watched or read the movies I guess

[@yanacollectph]

Jayla Hollie I’m a big potterhead and I really like the theme of txt’s song. When the mv was show here in yt and the I saw the lyrics wait for me in 9 3/4 thing (not the real lyrics) I was OMG HARRY POTTERRRR!

[@NF-vk7fz]

hello, i’ve been an army for almost 3 years now and when i checked out txt’s debut, i loved crown immediately after the first listen. i didn’t think it was generic at all! i thought it was a cute, charming, and fresh intro to a new, young group and it was perfectly executed imo. the choreo showed off their dance skills and their ability to fill up a stage despite only being a group of 5. i feel like tdc: star encapsulated the rookie, youthful energy too! with the transition to a new era: tdc: magic, they’ve managed to showcase such growth in their sound and their confidence as performers and it’s amazing that it’s only in the span of really 2 albums. i am obsessed with run away like when i first heard the preview, it’s not a song i would typically listen to on my own but they made me love it and a part of that is because i love the way they all sound together. their voices are seamless you know? run away is so so good and their entire album, EVEN BETTER. such an immaculate body of work tbh as expected from bh’s producing team. truly no skips for me at least. even the songs that took me a while to get into, i love a lot now and their stages are just so entertaining. so yeah, i hope you do an album listening video for it :)

I don't want to say what i like more, because i really enjoyed both. Both are catchy songs. Good quality. Both on production and on the boys' side like promotion and performing. Their album turned out amazing too! A lot of 90s and early 2000s hiphop and r&b vibes. Really great piece of work! Also, they themselves doing amazing for being an independent boygroup. They strong on social media, doing their best with content and promotion. Really proud and happy to see them doing well! I hope their comeback is gonna be successful!

[@angelyntor2273]

I honestly think that both are exactly what I’m looking for from this group! After a few listens back in the summer, The Dream Chapter: Star was so fresh because I was missing the bright energy I usually had in my own life. The fact that I am around the boys’ age made me feel as if I was starting out like them. When the concept changed to Magic and I was listening to all the teasers, I also found that this part of their group also reminds me of another part of my personality! I feel like I’m growing up with these boys and I’m happy to support whatever comes next 💙

I then looked up the people who produced the song along side the bighit producers, and apparently a famous Swedish producer, Andreas Carlsson, participated in the making of the song lmao no wonder the hooks and the background is so addicting. some info: Andreas Carlsson has helped writing songs for artists such as Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, Britney Spears, Celine Dion, Europe, Bon Jovi and Katy Perry

[@imshh]

U RALLY have 2 know interpretation of this video. Real story of this video is that Taehyun and other members r students of same school and Yeonjun played with fire and Beomgyu tried to put out the fire but except Taehyun, they all dead. That's why Taehyun is looking at book about PUT OUT THE FIRE and staying alone at school hallway. Other memebers are ghost that staying at school and staying with Taehyun. Other members tried to meet Taehyun. Hueningkai and Beomgyu drew the line to cross the line between the afterlife and the real world, but it didn't work. Subin tried to draw the door that is connecting afterlife and the real world. Then, when Subin wore pink sunglasses, and he saw the magic circle which means the hope that Taehyun and other members can meet. And one day, Taehyun missed his friends and went to the roof of the school and regreting that he couldn't save them, he hold the fire extinguisher, magic circle appeared and finally Taehyun came to the afterlife. After they met, they went to the swimming pool, and Subin saw the yellow door. TXT decided to explore there. There was forest, and there was the door end of the forest. That door is the same door that Subin drew and it's connecting the afterlife and the real world. If they cross the door, all of them can survive. But after Yeonjun wore the glasses, the door is burning. It means only Taehyun can go to the real world. Before Taehyun goes to the real world, they said goodbye and except Taehyun, other members left. I HOPE U SEE THIS TOT.....😭😭
