[@christineenright7491]

Jimin said that the tracks on his album reflect a progression or sequence of his feelings during the pandemic and the subsequent decisions made by the band members to combine their required military obligation with exploration of their individual artistry. Set Me Free is the 5th of a 6 track album. After anger, escapism, and lone reflection, he is shedding an old me and revealing the new.

[@peggychance5633]

Thanks for that enlightening explanation!

[@linexp274]

He’s also said that the ops haters which this songs about mean nothing to him anymore! He’s finally free from the toxic hatred of jealous people! 💜

[@BBYARMY]

Free from his shadows ( insecurities, self doubts, hateful comments from other people) also free from the stereotypes, he used to try to present himself as tough, rougher version and he is finally free to be himself !!😇😇

[@huntressmma1822]

"Once you Jimin, you can't Jim-out"

[@NathanWalters]

That’s what it is! I said it wrong in the video 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@AJP.OT7]

Thanks for reacting!! The song and the MV actually, why is it looks simple it has a lot of meaning. Sorry, this is long, but I do hope you read it. In an interview with Jimin: When the track list of the album was revealed, many noticed that the prerelease single was designated as “pt. 2” despite the fact that Jimin doesn’t have any existing song to his name titled “Set Me Free”. He confirmed that it’s a nod to a track on bandmate Suga’s second mixtape, D2. “There isn’t a connection, and we weren’t trying to divide one or two parts,” he explains. “But since it turns out my song talks about freedom and moving forward, and Suga’s song talks about some of the stories that come before, I thought it would be good to come after that.” Personally, I loved this song except the auto-tune part when I first heard it but now, I love it. When BTS use auto-tune like in this, in a very distinct way, it usually has a deeper meaning. It connects to their album called Map of the Soul 7 album which is inspired by the Carl Jung Theory of Persona, Shadow, and Ego. Each of these (Persona, Shadow, Ego) are also solo BTS songs on the album that explain their perspective of what those mean in correlation too with the psychology theory. The shadow is something that we have a hard time with, trails, temptations, as well as things that if people knew about you would shame you or "cancel" you so to speak, etc. So, you will hear him "battling" the shadow/auto tune with his clear voice...If you listen to Shadow (the song by Suga), you will also understand better what I meant too... For Set Me Free set: Also, the 6 or 9 shape (depending on which way you flip it) that the dancers make and Jimin is dancing in the circle until he gets to the middle. That structure is called Fibonacci sequence. It has a lot of mathematical meaning that I honestly can't write very well about or understand super well, but it connects to the message of this song. I personally kind of interpret it as the line of the song that says, "fly away butterfly", because the 9 is last single number and where the numbers start all over again after, so with the lyrics he is "reborn" after the first round/way/1-9. He is reborn because at first, he is a caterpillar then eventually turns into a butterfly... Fun Fact (credit goes to CSW7 on twitter) Jimin sings "Set Me Free" 9 times in the chorus, which made me curious what 9 means in numerology. If this wasn't intentional it's one h*ll of a coincidence. Things they looked up... 9 is the last of the single-digit numbers that play a core role in the study of numerology and is the highest ranking of the cardinal numbers. 9 is the number of wisdom and experience. As the final numeral, the number 9 symbolizes awakening and inner wisdom through life experiences and struggles. The number 9 represents a complete journey according to numerology. As the final single-digit number, 9 signifies culmination, although not the final ending. Numerology 9 is more like fulfilling one cycle and preparing for the next one. It's the number that signals the end and a beginning-because as soon as one chapter ends, a new cycle will start. Fun Fact: (from Kate, PhD7 Run Beautiful on twitter) (she talks about the set design) The panopticon is the very old concept (like 1700s) that was meant to create model prisoners. So, the idea was the prisoners would be visible 24/7 in this large structure. So, while Jimin's lyrics are, "set me free", he is standing in a literal prison. This concept is now applied thinking about surveillance states (CCTV) and social media. (For the nerds this is the work of Foucault and then a bunch of social media, comms, and HCI have picked this up. The "tower" in the middle can actually be empty (self-policing by imagined guard). I could imagine two meanings as I think about it: 1. Jimin subverting the prison by being the guard (taking control) and/or 2. Jimin being his own guard as if he's being monitoring himself given his life experience and past policing from outsiders and talking control via the choreo and lyrics. This also connects to the lyrics, "Going insane to stay sane" which are also similar lyrics to BTS song called On (which you reacted to) the lyrics are, "To remain sane, one must go insane”. (Credit go to-Shreya Negi on Twitter) The poem Jimin has written on his body is in German and by a famous poet called Rainer Maria Rilke. The poem is called ‘I live my life in widening circles’ and was written in 1899. It's translation: - I live my life in widening circles that reach out across the world I may not complete this last one but I will give myself to it I circle around God, around the primordial tower I've been circling for thousands of years and I still don't know: am I a falcon, a storm, or a great song? ARMY feel free to explain better or your own interpretation or add on.... So basically, the song is about starting anew and "freeing" one's self from their shadow(s) and/or learning from them to move forward.

[@memyoldie]

Thank you for such a detailed posting, even including other ARMY’s thoughts. 💜

[@NathanWalters]

Wow. Thanks for this!!

[@AJP.OT7]

Glad you read my comment! Honestly most BTS songs and MVs have a deeper meaning like this lol.... BTS also have a lot of different storylines that run throughout their music from personal stories to group stories, to their fictional storyline, each of their albums tell a story (sometimes it is a series different album like the Love Yourself albums), etc. I know it is a lot but take your time lol...BTS also has soo much content that even as a fan for like 2 years I have barely scratched the surface. I was hoping to catch up on their content when they announced they were taking a break (because of mandatory military service and also, they need to grow individually as well) to catch up but that isn't happening lol. There still is tons of content being released from all their solo endeavors. Anyways sorry for writing so much. I know you are reviewing music, but I would love to see you react to some interviews that Suga (a BTS member) created called Suwitcha (play on words with Suga and a solo song called Daewitcha). I noticed you reacted to a song with TXT and he interviewed some of the members if interested it is episode 8 on BangtanTV channel. He also interviewed the other BTS members and a few other Koreans (actors and artists)@@NathanWalters

[@verifiedbydiego6908]

Wow! I loved reading this and learning more about a song that I thought I knew everything about! there are always more layers to discover 💜

[@BeverleyThompson-f9b]

Wow! I absolutely love this explanation! Being an Army for 21/2 yrs now, but going down the rabbit hole of BTS, I have seen all of their transformations. Into the grown men with their innocence and struggle to become who they are today. Individuals but still their brotherhood shows through in everything they do… JIMIN is a unique sweet soul, with the talent and drive of a true star without acting like he feels special. He still struggles with wondering “why us” There are so many other talented groups in k-pop. He said this while riding in a car with his other members. Truly a raising star.

[@donnamcelroy963]

This is one of the songs from Jimin's EP, which is chronologically about what he went through during the pandemic. This song is about how he has been set free from the sadness and depression which he was using alcohol to cope with. You'll see that theme of escapism through his EP. So glad you reacted to this song! it's interesting hearing from your musical background perspective. Keep it up. I recommend Magic Shop live performance. :)

For some, that's overwhelming, but for others, like me, it's pure heaven!

[@thys2lam]

[@isabellereffas3679]

To me the song lyrics talk about being free from expectations, being able to be oneself without fear of judgement. It is not about being free from the band. The members all stated repeatedly how they cannot wait to reunite as BTS in 2025 after military service. One thing you should know once you Jim-In you can't Jim-Out. he's now your bias. Congrats!

[@TheMamemi78]

True. The members can not see themselves without BTS and not be where they are without BTS. The song and the German poem the Jimin sports are to reflect to one's true self disregarding expectations.

[@lauto0613]

Everyone is suggesting amazing songs by Jimin but I specially want to point out “Lie”… I think you as a producer would love this song. Is an amazing example of text painting!

[@lovepilie]

2:28 my dear Sir, you just experienced the Jimin effect! I get chocked up with emotion when I listen to him, even more so when paired with the impeccable dancing and visuals!

[@RS-oy6bz]

The song is about Jimin setting himself free from many things. 1. You saw at one point people mocking him in the dance. He doesn't care. He's free from that hate. Jimin gets a lot of hate from other fandoms. 2. He flies away like a butterfly coming out of the cacoon as shown in the dance. He has grown and matured and so is free from his inner fears and demons. 3. There are words written on his body from a poem by Rainer Maria Rilke in German which translated means I live my life like the growing ripples. So the song is all about Growth, maturity which sets him free from his inner fears and demons and mockery of his haters.

[@sugasmeow]

Jimin’s Lie is the perfect song. You will love it.

[@nikonladyd4509]

I am glad you are reacting to Jimin's latest work. I enjoy watching you react because of your background as a boy band member and that you can sing and understand the skills and capabilities of the BTS members. Would love to see you react to their mama performance 2016 (12 minute stage) and their MMA performance in 2019. They had a 30 minute stage at that award show. It was unreal. Also check out Jimin's earlier solo work with Lie, Serendipity and Filter.

Jimin is my favourite too, he is just so good in so many ways, draws attention to himself at the get go. As for this song, don't wanna be an expert on the lyrics, but for the choreo I will say that it is truly reflective of his talent as he studied contemporary dance in an art school...so it reflects in every performance one way or another. If you watch BTS choreos, you'll see a clear difference in every member's style and for me my attention is instantly diverted to Jimin as his moves are so elegant and reflective of his abilities, truly a treat to watch!

[@nancysmith3400]

Jimin is known as one of the dancers (dance line, vocal line) of the group. He has a past in contemporary dance, went to an arts highschool, then adapted to the k-pop dance style and learned to sing during his idol training. His strong dance background really shines in "Black Swan- BTS".

Thank you so much for this reaction. Yes we love Jimin too. We appreciate his hardwork as a solo artist he went straight to Billboard hot 100 #1 without a collab, Radioplay push and barey company support. Set Me Free makes sense. Considered KING of KPOP, DANCE KING/God, Stage Commander etc. A very humble, sweet, supportive, selfless human being. If you watch "Guide to Bts" video u will love him more.

[@eileencritchley4630]

He had all the support he wanted from the company. When they do solo work they decide what they want to do and how they want to promote. It's part of artist development. They can ask for advice and help if they get a bit lost in it all. If you listen to the lads say themselves when they discuss their solo work and what they had to learn and do and who they went to for help you'll know this.

[@sasha5829-b2t]

@@eileencritchley4630 You are clearly the one who hasn't been listening to Jimin. While he was given the minimum amount of promo that every artist is supposed to have from their label, he was denied a lot of things - such as, more than two music videos and a longer promotion period (that other members did get). Jimin himself said that he felt these were lacking. Also, Jimin's songs were never sent to the radio. You seriously think an artist would say 'No, I don't want my song to be sent to the radio'? Just because some members said they were happy with their promotions doesn't mean that you can generalize them all.

They squeezed his promotions on 9 days almost breaking his body on rehearsing, he even got sick, other members releasing during his promo time. So did JIMIN want all of this???? Bfr!

The thing is when it was released 5 months ago (already wow), everyone was shocked because we know him for years and he's very gentle/soft in his usual tone and attitude, and suddenly we heard him rapping/swearing and using his low voice, the contrast was huge and people needed time to believe that it was the real Jimin lol

They are so good and talented and it is an absolute tragedy that our “ in$ustry” can’t give them their due credit. I will say, that I am extremely sorry you found them just a little too late. Their concerts in LA and Las Vegas were ridiculously amazing. I had the opportunity to see Suga in Chicago and it was the best night of my life. I’ve been to many concerts, and no doubt it was the best. In 2025 we will all be fighting for the opportunity. I hope you have the opportunity, we purple you

[@priyas1229]

I see this song as Jimin setting himself free from his demons, his fears, his past self - an ode to move forward, a path to self-healing. I see this song as a declaration of rebirth. As others have said, this album really chronicles a lot of his struggles during the pandemic, and there might be other layers too, as even before the pandemic we've known a little about some of the struggles and suffering he's had for a long time. There are actually both choreography references and lyrical references to previous BTS songs and Jimin solo songs which is another added layer. I think this song just feels like freedom and self-acceptance. Jimin released this as a pre-release track 2 weeks before the whole album dropped, and while this song and video alone hit all of us so hard, hearing it in the context of the full album was even more emotional and brilliant. This is what BTS does with their music and lyrics - we're so proud of them while also so inspired ourselves. Also what's written on him is a German poem called I live my life in widening circles by Rainer Maria Rilke - would highly recommend looking it up

[@temberh1]

It's a song about rebirth he sings about old me, new me (butterfly). There is no part one. This title is a nod to another BTS member Suga aka Agust D who has a song Set Me Free also about beginning anew and breaking free from hardships they've all faced and now having total control of the music they make going forward.

Thanks Nathan. Really enjoyed your reaction. When Jimin sings "set me free", I think he wants to be set free from rules, restrictions, stereotypes, & society's inhibitions. I think that's why he uses such strong language in his lyrics. If you noticed, there was a poem written in German across his body by a German poet. The fact that he was motivated to do that is evidence of his intelligence & musical genius. BTS forever! 💜💜💜

You've Jim-in'd and it is glorious! I love all the members but I feel a special connection with Jiminie!💜

[@Missy552]

I always say smfpt2 is just pure Genius by Jimin , no one without the knowledge of music vocally and instrumental will get this ,this song is just pure genius a huge reflection on Jimin’s artistry 😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥

[@nounanouna8618]

You became my new fav reactor, thank you for reacting to our beloved talented jimin.

[@LALAPUTAMAD-li8qi]

I love set me free pt2 so so much, I think you can understand a little better the meaning of the song by listening to the whole EP, he goes through several feelings that he is trying to "FACE" from deception, anger, loneliness, pessimism, carelessness and a lot more, he is like an open book showing us his frustration and the road he went to overcome his demons, some fans hint that some of those demonstrate could be real people around him and some say those are inner battles, but nonetheless he present himself as a person learning from the adversity and mistakes and doing a metamorphosis in the process to come out stronger, better and ready for the things the life will bring, he even addresses a dark part of his life when he was absolutely depressed faking to be all right to only feel worse because on top of all he thought he could lies to himself...such a master piece, even the concept photos on the album are so well thought, the torns and the metalic details to portrait his vulnerability and harder part of him both coexisting, also there's a hidden song, the number 7, only available in the physical CD called "letter" , a heartfelt promise to his fans, in the album you only can see a white sheet but with a little light the words start to appear, he is such a artist, I felt I bought a treasure when I got mine, thanks for your reaction, I got inspired too by watching Jimin. ❤

[@rubrikcrousbofill2588]

LOVE LOVE JIMIN. HE IS ALWAYS ICONIC. ALWAYS PRESENTS MASTERPIECES.

[@eri6130]

The song (message) is partly inspired by his fellow member (agustd/SUGA) which is where the part ONE is from. Set Me Free - Agust D. It's been so cool to witness all their individual colors in this chapter 2 that they've embarked on. Also it'd be nice to check out group and solo stuff in between to get a full taste of BTS

[@katherineann8463]

Most reactors are so familiar with Jimin's softer tones, they were startled by his sound in this video. Several paused the video and said, "Wait! Who is this?" So the introduction to Jimin you are getting is unique!

[@akflute]

Probably already mentioned, but your comment on the dancing made me want to say, Jimin was a standout student in Contemporary Dance in school. I noted it the very first time I saw a BTS video...the way he moved was like a trained dancer, and that's because he is!

[@jiminerr]

Jimin is so talented!! He specialised in contemporary dance and his style is so artistic you should react to like crazy too💜

[@khylaren]

Instead of boy band member: Male vocal group member! hee hee! :) Also, Jimin has that effect on everyone. I think you have to be dead to be immune to Jimin's charm. Once you Jim-in, you can't Jim-out. Also, you should totally listen to Like Crazy, his other single.

[@lachimolala3215]

Serendipity live performance please by Jimin. You might also like Lie as well and Filter too. Ahhh I’m so freaking excited that you’re checking out Jimin. -39 year old ARMY from CALI

[@Bds0701]

You’re not alone. Got chills watching it. U have to do research on all the details behind it. Like the lettering on his chest, etc. BTS is the world´s best band. Glad you’re seeing why. Btw. Im a grandma so their audience reach is insane.

[@Pattyali400]

You must react to Jimin's Like Crazy or better to his entire album FACE... or Filter but live and many say it has a Michael Jackson vibe and a timbre very similar to MJ.

[@StarRaymond]

I love how immediately you were drawn in and how despite being a music guy you felt the pull of the visuals too 😊 I think the best way to describe Jimin is that he's such a storyteller - he was actually a contemporary dancer in his teens before he joined BTS so everything he puts out he always makes sure it's beautifully cohesively from his vocal delivery to the music and production to the lyrics and the choreography and the visuals. Jimin's solo work is always plain art. This entire EP was about Jimin's journey through the pandemic. Set me free pt2 is about trying to escape the trap of his mind - the negative parts of it. The chaos in the choreography is supposed to represent the madness in his mind. And the vocal effects and auto tune to change his tone up were used to represent different parts of his mind arguing with each other - the "darker" side of his brain.

[@fleurdelys7302]

[@jennysolergonzalez2407]

Cualquiera que aprecie el talento de Jimin tiene mi gran gratitud. Gracias por reaccionar y por tus Buenas criticas. Espero que escuches Like Crazy porque es un hit.

[@nihsha]

I'm also a melody girl🙌 I love your reactions from a music producer's perspective.

[@markballard9942]

The writing on jimin's body in the second half all of these songs is from a poem by Rainer Maria Rilke. Here is the English translation: I live my life in widening circles that reach out across the world. I may not complete this last one but I will give myself to it. I circle around God, around the primordial tower. I’ve been circling for thousands of years and I still don’t know: am I a falcon, a storm, or a great song?

[@cessd2860]

I'm a jimin bias since 2013 and everytime Jimin has solo song....makes me so happy and proud! He has different vocal style in his every solo songs.

[@xanthedanger8293]

You asked for recommendations for any other groups, and I think you’d be SUPER STOKED watching the little sample medley of live vocals by the group Seventeen (thirteen guys). It’s called “Dingo Killing Voice Seventeen” and there are subtitles available so you can tell what they’re saying and what the lyrics are, if you click the CC button. But the main thing I think you’d love is just the fun vibes of the guys, the great vocals, and the sampling of a lot of incredible songs.

[@cherylloper7320]

You have been hooked not only by Jimin, but by the crazy production of Set Me Free. I have to say many were pleasantly surprised at this new Jimin! I see many others answered most of your questions, so wont duplicate! But Jimin is one of the sweetest souls. Humble and kind but can adapt into whatever he is feeling. I see you have many suggestions but at least a female favorite is Serendipity. And if you want to see Jimin and Jungkook bring the Michael Jackson watch the Coming of Age they did/Rainism. Jimin in learning English coined the saying....You nice, Keep going!... Yes, once you Jimin you cant Jimout!!! Never apologize for pausing. Its your channel! 😊Thanks for the reaction!❤

[@Madeenah23]

The Jimin effect is inescapable dear. 😂 You got my reaction to 'set me free 2' when it premiered. I was just like 'wow'! You should react to Jimin's Serendipity live performance. The true choreographer was infact dumbfounded of Jimin's fluidity. Jiminshi is just.......i'm speechless ❤😂💜💜💜

[@user-vt2jy9up6l]

Я просто обажаю этот клип и эту песню. Это что-то невероятное. Я восхищаюсь Чимином, он очень талантливый. 💜💜💜

[@typosaidiloveya3853]

Jimin brought me to bts so your reaction to him reminds me of my first few days of discovering him🥺❤️

[@anonymous-ei4pf]

once you jimin you cant jimout. this is so true. aside from being a great performer, hes one of the most thoughtful and supportive to the other members

[@jaelato8022]

this is what i love about BTS, they know they got the voice but they're not afraid to experiment w/ autotune. honestly if it's done well it became art itself in music.

[@geekyreader34]

The lyrics are the most super important part of who they are. Most songs are written by the rap line who are lyricists lol. So you are missing a lot if your only paying attention to the beats and instruments. Yes those are important but the soul is the lyrics and the music. It’s a package

[@jonzgurl4ever]

I'm with you on vibing instead of knowing the lyrics...im the same way. I go back later to know what is being said. I am definitely loving your reactions.

[@NathanWalters]

Thank you!

[@maddigotnojams1964]

You don’t need to apologize for how you do your reactions! Some people notice the music first, others notice the lyrics first. To me, it’s always interesting to see what different people take away from a BTS song at first listen. Your reactions are so fun! It’s cool seeing the perspective of a former boy band member. Keep it up! 💜

[@AnaMaria-zy7qv]

Don't worry... keep stopping, we love to listen to people's thoughts about our boys!

[@mimijustwanted9595]

Reacciona a Lie de Jimin. JIMIN es especialista en baile contemporáneo, acrobacias, su baile es sublime, la expresión corporal y facial que pone es ipnotizante! Es un artista multifacético, que de verdad si vale la pena ser su FANS! Su voz es único, angelical, casi nadie logra llegar a su nota tan fácilmente y la personalidad que maneja offs lo mejor!

[@dhelacuna530]

There's saying, " once you Jim in, you can't Jim out"! Welcome to jimin''s world💜💜💜
