BTS (방탄소년단) MAP OF THE SOUL : 7 'Interlude : Shadow' REACTION

[@misamane9]

"Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable" That’s a quote from Cesar A. Cruz.. It really seem fitting for shadow video

[@InsomniaDC]

“What do you wanna be when you grow up” Yoongi: INHALES “I wanna be-“

[@mapi.7984]

Mapi’s husband 😂😂 Sorry, dreaming is free.

I feel like the song itself and its lyrics focus more on Yoongi's fears related to fame, how the more popular they become the lonelier they feel, a bit like the downsides of fame sometimes seem bigger than the positive things. It reminded me of that time he said that he cried in the shower after winning one of those american awards because he was scared. I think it's also about having to reconcile their stage persona (suga) and their true selves (yoongi). The way he changes his flow, or distort his voice to portray his shadow was really clever and more impactful. The video portrays more what the dark side of fame is to him/them (stalkers following them in hotels, people constantly taking pictures of them and trying to grab them (i think this is mostly about what happens in airports, and the pictures part are both journalists and fans), people constantly filming them as well even during concerts (yoongi said several times that he wished people would stop filming and just enjoy the music) sometimes for money/clout, and the shadows look like there are falling under him so it might represent everything he had to leave behind to get there). I think the video and how it's filmed really makes you feel how suffocating and uncomfortable all these things are. I really felt the loneliness as well, because he's always singled out in the mv. But that's just my takeaway! This was long, but in conclusion I like the song and the message it conveys. I also hope it makes people think about what they do as fans and the boundaries we should always respect! I think even as regular non-toxic fans, we sometimes put unwanted pressure on our favorite artists without even realizing it, even if it comes from a good place.

[@BTSArmy-bj6wh]

Can you pls React to its explanation pls You will understand everything by the way nice reaction dear

[@aleksandraeftimova8836]

Shortly said: Even if I wasn't called out I felt called out... The lyrics are sad but it's Yoongi and they're much more powerful and meaningful. The whole thing makes me uncomfortable but I'm glad that they're using the platform they have to speak up about the negative sides of the idol industry. I really hope people open their eyes with this.

[@sihempdkn]

J’attendais de fouuuuuuuuuuu t’as réaction omg trop contente

[@Kaiuchiha323]

I literally just realized after watching it a couple times that the first half is yoongi before he became famous and what he wanted. Also it is him being afraid of his success and being afraid of rising because he knows what goes up must also come down. Then as the song hits the second half his persona has switched and the lyrics are coming from a different point of view, he is telling himself that this dark side of his dreams is something he won't be able to escape. This shadow of his dream is telling him that he KNOWS that it will always be here no matter how bright or dark the future is. And that both sides of his dream will clash over and over again until they accept one another. Another thing that I saw and read about was that towards the start of the second verse where he says "I wanna be me" everyone around him is so focused on his persona of "SUGA" that no one notices "Min Yoongi" standing in the crowd. Maybe this is even stating that he feels that his existence as "Min Yoongi" isn't as impactful and that's what kills him. He wants to be himself, "Min Yoongi" and he wants the be a rap star, etc. but "SUGA" reminds him that without me you can't be what you want to be. Such an amazing and deep song. Yoongi and Joonie have always had a deep understanding of their fame and their music.

[@michaelmitchell7350]

This is why BTS has inspired so many people around the world they put so much of there emotions in there music people can relate to this type of struggle no matter what career you work in

[@masterpiece6455]

I was expecting this reaction since the video was released.

[@jaderain6115]

nothing to do with the reaction itself: but love your starry earrings!!😍🌟

[@priceymashups7692]

I agree with your reaction! Honestly I fell out of BTS a little bit but Suga brought me back in especially with this song! I love how he’s always honest within his music in regards to mental health and finding yourself, it’s one of the reasons why I fell in love with BTS in the first place. And this song is amazing, you could tell he was gifted to help others through his own experience and struggles! 💗

[@mahinfatimah9162]

I love your reactions, so detailed.

[@jihyoshighnotearehigherthe9053]

Please react to *Momo, jihyo and taemin’s collaboration*

[@dingdingring]

I was looking forward to your reaction because I felt that you’d get the deeper meaning behind it

[@misamane9]

i'm so exited to see your reaction to this.

[@N1mayou]

I think Shadows is a "suitable for all audiences" version of The Last, even if Shadow was really freaky and anxiogenic. The end of shadow make me think about the verse "Min Yoongi was already Dead. I killed him." from The Last. Like a clash of Suga vs Agust D. That's a fact that Yoongi was really scared by crowd, and want just to be a songwriter/produccer in a studio at the begining. All of this scared him and he shrug of this in his rap. For all of that i'm really affraid of what Yoongi would feel but i love him so much because his music is so authentic and real. Love Yoongi ❤ One of the best rapper and songwriter. And your reaction are really interesting, i like that you try to analyse the mv and the song ! Good job ! 👌👍

[@maganonfeu]

Je suis pas un Army, ni un fan vraiment des BTS , j'aime les écouter ca oui , mais ici le rap et les paroles que dit Suga/Agust D purement sont vraies, il me fait presque envie de le choisir en tant que Bias Wrecker devant Jimin x)

[@ludyqueuniez4098]

Je découvre tes vidéos, j'aime vraiment beaucoup ton travail et tes analyses sur les vidéos réactions. 👌👌👌 Hate de découvrir plus.

[@salwarahmadina3446]

Thank you,reaction LIGHTS BTS

[@NingKook_]

Hey ! J'attendais ta réaction avec impatience ! Sinon pour le trailer mon ressenti c'est qu'il parle des ses rêves quand BTS on débuté d'ou les paroles "i wanna be rap star, i wanna be the top..." et maintenant que ses rêves se sont réalisé il a peur de ce que cette célèbrité implique et notemment comme tu as dis le fait d'être harcelé par des fan hystérique, il parle aussi de son coté sombre qui est Agust D, il dis que ce coté sombre et lui ne font qu'un Il ont inclu certain détail d'anciens mv comme quand il court dans le couloir (Jungkook dans fake love) ou encore quand il a un bandeau et que la caméra fait plusieurs plan en bougant au tour de lui (intro DNA avec Jungkook) Sinon la première instru c'est l'instru de l'intro de premier album de BTS et au niveau de la parti rouge et sombre où la musique devient dur on peut voir un moment sur l'écran "0! RUL8 2" qui est le nom du premier album de BTS Je pense que ce comeback va faire une retrospective de leur parcourt notement ces 7 dernière années en tant qu'artistes

Will you marry me? You are so beautiful 😂

[@thezokil]

I was not a fan of the production, sugah's english is still mushy and not smooth enough to deliver powerful raps in, and frankly that drop was really offensive to the ears for me.

[@みしまゆか]

If you can't focus on the song, then you can focus on the lyrics. It's a lot deeper if you take notice of the lyrics paired with the visuals in the video (hands, the red on the walls, the change in his tone etc)

[@thezokil]

@@みしまゆか I know, I'm not being ignorant here, the lyrics feel super disingenuous coming from Sugah now. How can you rap about wanting to be rich and famous and a rockstar when you're already all those things, its super conceited. Now obviously Sugah did not write these lyrics so I won't put it on him,but its hard to take the song seriously when practically none of lyrics apply to him or to BTS

[@dee560]

@@thezokil you're dumb, the lyrics I wanna be a rapstar, I wanna be the top I wanna be a rockstar and him wanting to win and be the king is him talking about his PAST OLD self wants when BTS were still small and unpopular but the lyrics after is him talking about how he hates the top and how it's scary to be this famous and how he's scared that he'll fall and lose everything because of the eyes on them and how he has no privacy and how alone it feels to be on top. I don't expect much from a kpop stan tho ya'll got used to stupid lyrics that ya'll can't even think and understand complex ones.

[@dee560]

@@thezokil also yes suga did write the lyrics and produced the song

[@thezokil]

@@dee560 Then you and Sugah are clowns. BTS has never been small,or nugu, they consistently sold well since day 1,tens of thousands of albums,to hundreds of thousands, to now millions of album. It's laughable you think BTS ever started from the bottom, Y'all a bunch or silver spoon fans who have never had to see your artists struggle for success.
