Metal Musician Reacts: J-Hope!!! BTS (방탄소년단) 'Outro : Ego' REACTION

[@TheChampOfMedium]

Apparently I REALLY need to see RM's Persona

[@stillwithyou7072]

You do! Persona is powerful and RM delivers it to perfection.

[@sayurix87]

You will love it 😉

[@silverliening6511]

Please react to the new NFlying guide by Savy Guitar 2.0

[@GaijinBangya]

YESSSSSSSSSS HOW HAVE YOU NOT YET?!?!?!?! Army has failed you in not making you watch that before Shadow and Ego. xD

[@jwg5327]

The BTS narrative begins from their first debut songs and continues to this new album coming out. They have been telling the same story since the beginning but the narrative evolves as they do. Think of it like a book series or TV series over many seasons. Sure you can appreciate each individual song and performance as you do so well but if you want to know the full “story”, you got to “read the whole book” from cover to cover. Still one of the best reactors out there!

[@fallenpandora5598]

You: a full metal musian Also you: omg baby jhope look at his little cheeekssss 🥰🥰

[@marlee7389]

I've noticed how people have a certain prejudice with metal music fans. Masculine, tattooed... a tough guy. Such a misconception. I have lot of friends amongst metal musicians AND fans and honestly many of them are fluffy af themselves! Real teddy bears. So it's not a type of people but just regular people who love listening metal music. Just like people who like pop music don't all look like Britney Spears or Justin Bieber. I wish more people would understand that. Don't get me wrong, I'm not attacking or anything. Just saying 😉

[@zullyp6222]

bahahahaahha

[@fallenpandora5598]

@@marlee7389 hahaha naa I know all my metal friends are teddy bears, I just loved how he was so adorable about jhope 😂

[@PrincessKoriandr]

Also, if you noticed RM was looking UP at his Persona, Suga was looking DOWN at his SHADOW and J-HOPE was FACE to Face with his EGO. Waiting on Bookish Theories to knock the explained video out for this one

[@Nicky.O]

I love Bookish Theories! Their explanations are great. x

[@moaribo]

YOUR MIND

[@reibubbles2505]

Yess! Bookish Theories and ItalianARMY are my favorite theorists \o/ Can't wait for their videos.

[@Eireannew113]

Princess Koriand’r love bookish theories!

[@annamariejones2837]

You could also say j-hope is embracing his ego.

[@yayaarmyjjang]

Persona, who am I. Do I deserve the praise I get even though I feel I wear a mask? Shadow, I am you, sometimes this fact will clash and you will be afraid. Your strength and weakness is all one. Ego, then I’ll trust myself. These choices all led me here and I’m okay with that.

[@wanderingtin]

yaya moarmyjjang *insert Jimin meme “your mind...”

[@kymmie4lyfe]

this made me tear up lmao

[@jilll1287]

yaya moarmyjjang persona - this is who I’ve created to been seen. shadow - the deepest part of me that no one can see. ego- the real me.

[@forgotaboutdrea]

"People be sleeping on J-Hope" - YES. This is a certified bop and it's so sunny and bright and J-HOPE. Love those background vocals at the end too.

[@ErikaCartet]

"he started out in the shadow but he came out of the shadow and into the light with a smile on his face" does sum up ego pretty well

[@eminacls9595]

The girl singing the background vocals is Adora, one of the Big Hit’s producers

[@laurahilliker5336]

Emina, Thanks I didn’t know it was Adora singing the background vocals🙂💜

[@HealthySelfNThrive]

yeah I heard her in the background and was like it has to be Adora

[@erikoenglish1651]

Yes. Adora

[@flyushkifly]

Didn’t know Adora could do that full on belt.

[@mkb8659]

emina cls I think it’s Adora and another women because different voice textures. Adora has a very bright vocal tone, but the second voice has a more deeper darker tone.

[@emilys2562]

"Changed my mind not ready" *screams in pillow* Lmao same

[@zullyp6222]

us this whole comeback

[@nikitaamerica7324]

same.

[@PrinceDuCiel7]

This entire album is shaping up to be such a wonderful journey in self actualization and I’m here for it. Plus J-Hope is quickly becoming my bias breaker breaker. Just gunna adopt the whole hyung line

[@MarinaEariel]

Welcome to the hyung-line biased club!

[@PrinceDuCiel7]

Marina Cuello What are they doing to me. DX Suga makes me cry, Jin sings me to sleep every night... guess I gotta wake up to JHope every morning now. DX

[@blaublaubeere]

Yeah indeed, like I gave up trying to settle for a bias when the whole damn hyung line kept casually wrecking each other every other day

[@uncertainsubscriber4815]

Is an Interlude supposed to be like a intermission in the middle of a play, and outro would be the last song right? I am hyung line biased too.

[@kaycicaldy7190]

I agree! Yoongi has always been my bias and hobi has always been my wrecker. But lately RM and Jin have started wrecking too 😂 Hyung line is just too damn good 💜

[@jhopeur7219]

In Hobi's mixtape, this vocal melodic rap is very signature to him. This song would be very at home on Hope World. He's so so versatile!

[@virgochic8415]

Yes we went to Hope World

[@istanthegreatest]

HOPEWORLDIANS!

[@riajhart]

I got serious vibes from Daydream. There he talks about how he daydreams of a normal life, were he can just behave like a normal dude. And in this song, when he talks about the one truth: time moving forward, no maybes or what ifs... it brought me to that, then he actually mentions a life where he isn't J-hope and how he saw it at the time as a life full of regret 'till he died with his dance chasing impossible dreams that turn to ghosts, because they haunt him. I also love the little touches of the video, like him driving a car in the opposite way of "THE WAY", which enforces the meaning of the song "Trust yourself and your choices" instead of following what everyone says is "THE WAY". The whole song is just SO Hobi, like I can't imagine anyone else doing this song, it has Hobi's energy all over it.

[@dalilahrenee]

it's so endearing how much of a jhope fanboy you are !

[@redfieldmayor]

Your appreciation of JHope and the members of BTS is EVERYTHING! Thank you for getting to know the guys and what makes them who they are. And PS. JHope is totally pretty and his baby pictures are SO adorable! AGREED! ❤️

[@BackToBlueSide218]

Baby Hobi is the cutest ^^ and yes, people sleeping on his visuals as well as his rapping... lord, I can’t wait for you to react to his hope world mixtape!

[@audreyp2425]

As someone who is older (ok 50), I’ve had ups and downs in life just like everyone else. I’ve made huge mistakes but I wouldn’t change them for anything because it made me who I am now. I learned through my mistakes. I like who I am. 😊 I’m glad BTS is opening up people’s minds to except themselves. It’s something I’ve worked on since I was 22. It’s a goal I’ll work on for the rest of my life. 💜

[@toinkath]

"Just trust myself." - J-hope.. we are cheering for you!

[@7toheavan4ever54]

Thanks for sharing 💜

[@sheryl3462]

I can relate, I'm in my early 40s and have also gone through some pretty tough times as well as good. But if not for the lessons learned during all of them I would not ve the person I am today. Am I perfect? Nope! Farrrr from it. But I continue to learn how to love myself and I thank BTS for words of encouragement.

[@jasminelol2896]

Thank you so much for reacting to my bias Jhope

[@stefyflor2]

So basically, the song represents the integration of the Persona (part of our consciousness; what we want the world to see, as discussed through RM's intro) and the Shadow (part of our unconscious; our deepest, darkest fears, as presented through Suga's interlude) within one being in order to stabilize the Ego (one's personal identity, the integration of every little piece that makes us, us. Ego's origin in Latin translates to "I"/"me".) That is why Outro: Ego is so hopeful and celebratory. Because the process of individuation (the achievement of self-actualization through a process of integrating the conscious and the unconscious) has been created within the self. There is no more over-identification with the Persona/"the idol mask"(like in RM's intro Persona where the persona had literally become a overwhelming being, towering over RM) and the shadows which have been let free after the self created an imbalance between different sides of one's inner world, are so longer drowning out the self (as seen in Suga's interlude). By the Shadow addressing the self at the end of Interlude: Shadow and letting the self know that the individual must stop repelling the dark part of himself, the change for the better started. Outro: Ego represents the restored balance between the Persona and the Shadow, the acceptance of everything we experience and feel as a part of ourselves, making up the constellation of our inner world, our own individual Mikrokosmos.

[@7toheavan4ever54]

I'm soooo lucky, proud and happy of beeing part of this ARMY FAMILY and beeing in the Age of BTS 💜 Even more when I read our fellow ARMY 's comments😁 you are all so smart!!! Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻 It's a pleasure to read!!! 💜

[@loular08]

YES! Perfect summary!

[@7toheavan4ever54]

Yes!!! Perfekt 👍👏👏👏👏 🙏🏻💜💜

[@theanonymoose3542]

Your scream into the pillow... yeah.. I felt that. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@airyfairy2396]

It's the perfect outro, from persona and shadow to ego. This upbeat vibe gives us really inspiring spirit, saying not to stay in deep and dark side anymore and let's step forward together!! Your ego is precious!!

[@angelsky204]

I agree with you!

[@sruticranjith5194]

The first part is how BTS was introduced when they debuted!! Its the debut trailer so its very nostalgic for armys to watch.🥺

[@boyskiz]

During the Late Late Show he said i dont care which was actually a clue to this EGO. He was talking about his past and present which makes him what he is today and he has to accept his past bad or good and as he said on this MV i dont care and that is his EGO.

[@virginiacampos5575]

Aquaboy that is exactly what I said

[@elaineb6461]

AAAAHHH I noticed this too!

[@BackToBlueSide218]

It wasn’t a clue tho, armys just love to connect things lol I swear the boys can’t even say anything before armys jump to conclusions xD

[@donnal.padilla4336]

@@BackToBlueSide218 actually it was a clue. Just as RM's saying "it's hard". Jimin "its crazy". Tae "I am shy" All clues.

[@jungtae0193]

I swear this is the best reaction I have ever seen ... and I have seen many ... J-Hope is my BIAS so it is more shocking to me.

[@jk_sky5912]

Oh man you're so whipped for baby j-hope😁 love it thou😆

[@EnderKichi]

All i got about this reaction is, we're all whipped for Hobi, the end

[@annisaafiati9593]

i like that you picked up the fact that Ego started with J Hope in shadows but soon came to lights

[@luciowulff]

Kingsmen J-Hope is just too much visuals! Thank you for your reaction - it's just so damn honest and heartfelt 🍀💜

[@kemalasaridina1898]

I agree, Jhope changes his vocals soo much and that's also my favourite part about him. It makes his songs more easy listening it's not like I'm listening to rap at all.

[@DileneAMB]

It's summer in Jhope's kingdom: South America ^·^ Brazilian army started carnaval (carnival) 2~3 weeks early after Ego released.

[@maggieinterpreter]

I’m not sure who loves Hobi more, me or you. LOLOL. Your attention to details is so great.

[@roguechevelle]

RM's Intro: Persona sampled Skool Luv Affair (their 3rd alum).Here is Skool Luv Affair comeback trailer @ Suga's Interlude: Shadow sampled Intro to O! RUL82? (their 2nd album). Here is Intro: O! RUL82? @ JHope's Outro: Ego sampled Intro to 2 cool 4 skool (their 1st album). Here is their Debut Trailer @ I also really loved that the MV flashes into the Ego trailer were going backward until it ends on JHope in debut MV No More Dream then him now.

[@EM-rm2xh]

"Nope. Not ready. I changed my mind." *screams into pillow* Damn, if this isn't the biggest MOOD.

[@elizabethbenson9019]

Lol... baby Hobi got me too!

[@stace.G]

J-Hooooooooope! my bias too eeeekk!

[@GaijinBangya]

I love your reactions so much! I'm crying laughing at how wholesome your reactions are. xD It feels like I'm reacting with a friend. Thank you for loving Hobi so much~

[@sunflw9373]

Baby J-Hopes cheeks🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@SanaTT]

you quickly caught on the message hobi probably wanted to convey 👍👍

[@noodle8942]

You should react to J-Hope's 1 Verse to see/hear his darker side! When that dropped I was so shocked that that smiley man could rap like THAT.

[@cristycastillo259]

I Love your observations! Like about Jhope’s cadences every 10 seconds or what. And also I love your Jimin reference :) You nice, keep going!

[@angelagajardo4172]

I really love the song, it embodies Hobi's style so well. And it's summer for a lot of us now (like, half of Earth :-P), so it's a perfect bop for driving, going to the beach or just Namjoonig in the sun!

[@pandorakikuman4021]

J-Hope brings outs the goofy giggly self in all of us, even you Mr Metal Musician 😂

[@Valledorthedragon]

Ego is Hobi saying: yeah life is tough, we have struggles, we have bad things, but that lead to the me of now, so I’m gonna trust myself to lead myself forwards, and let fate take me where it will. Also I can’t get over how much this song just truly embodies Hobi- it FEELS like him in so many ways I can’t even describe

[@lauramendi8911]

J-Hope always smiling; always makes me happy!

[@kEbIsM]

Okay, the screaming into the pillow is a huge MOOD. And I laughed hysterically at that part.

[@maya6542]

I love hobi💛💖😇

the holy trinity persona:who am I? shadow: I am you, you are me ego: there's only one you

[@kymmie4lyfe]

thanks as always for your reaction! 고마워요!! I don't really know what to think of this trailer yet. We had Intro:Persona, and Interlude:Shadow, and now Outro:Ego, and they're all very hard-hitting songs the more you look at the lyrics and think about it. With Shadow and Ego being beginning and ending of MOTS:7, I think we can expect the album to be a huge journey. Only a couple more weeks till we find out.

[@AngelaSealana]

Smile Hoya brightens our Hobiuary 🤗💜 Your reactions always make my day better! The 7 years is the number of years they've been together as BTS. So yeah, after 7 years of anguish (or intense struggle), he's been able to balance his inner & outer life... his persona & shadow, etc.

[@azaleasantana4879]

How can I refuse to suscribe? You even said "Por favor". Hey, gracias a ti.

[@thegeekoutgirl]

I always look back on my life and think about the choices I have made, the good and the bad. All of them have lead me to where I am now and tbh, I'm pretty happy with my life, regardless of the ups and downs, so I don't think I'd go back to change anything. Love this song XDDDD

[@sayurix87]

"Baby Jhope, baby Jhope !!!" I feel that 😂😂😂 Really, this song is PERFECT for him. I love "just trust myself" part, so powerful... I'm so whipped 😌 Btw, do you speak spanish? I think I ever saw you wrote in spanish 👉👈

I don’t know how I am just now discovering your reactions - but as a fellow j-hope bias, I L💜VE how much you love j-hope. I’m right there with you. Grinning through this whole reaction. I subbed and supported your Patreon just from your first two reactions to j-hope before you even knew his name (Idol & Mic Drop.) Thank you! Borahae! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@cherbear3965]

Hey I usually don't comment but I just wanted to say that I really like your reaction style! I also watch releases twice, once for like sound and the second time for the lyrics. Most reactors don't bother trying to listen for both so I'm happy I found you!

[@moarmyinsomniaipurpleyou6679]

Thank you for this wonderful reaction.

[@DizzyJae]

This release was so quintessentially JHope, just like his mixtape. I totally got Daydream vibes from this MV. there is so much in common.

[@jilll1287]

On MOTTP it ended with Dionysius- who brings the shadows. Suga’s interlude just ties that into the album. J-Hopes outro just lets us know that they battle the shadows and find their conscious selves, not the persona they created for themselves who they think everyone wants to see.

[@маринашафиева-ц3л]

For me it’s the best clip, the best song. It's just awesome, there is so much tolerance in one person, it should go on all the charts))) It was great, J Hope, as always, the best! I love J Hope, never swing, always at the highest level 💜💜💜

[@i.v.s.n.737]

some of the instrumentals of Persona is the same as the intro for Skool Luv Affair, which was BTS' third album. some of the instrumentals of Shadow is the same as the intro for O!RUL8,2?, which was BTS' second album. some of the instrumentals of Ego is the same as the intro for 2Cool4Skool, which was BTS' first album.

[@hano0onatart]

It’s feels like he’s happy with what he did and how far he come

[@ysiaappoline]

The message ? You summarized it perfectly at the beginning 🔥

[@lolalo6344]

In shadow, when Yoongi gets pulled down into the shadow his lyrics start coming from his shadows side. In Ego, it seems that after J-hope gets shocked the lyrics start coming from his ego's side. He's talking about how memories come back and how he wishes he could change things, but then when he gets shocked he says he doesnt care and basically 'goes with the flow'.

[@bltotrs92]

You screaming in that pillow was hilarious 😂

[@onyabeia832]

Don't you worry you explained it really well. And you are smart. love it. Thank you.

[@laurahilliker5336]

Champ the medium, J-Hope is my Bias wrecker and this music video just put J-Hope on top of my heart 💜 champ did you notice something that when J-Hope went inside the J’s Tailors I got a real Kingsmen vibe lol and Hobi is a Sunny day in a cloudy world☀️💜😊

[@PurpleForest]

Man, this new ARMY is leveling up! I love how well you analyze and pull things together.

[@zuleikadiaz8624]

OMG I love the paused and screaming into the pillow 😂 hilarious! I feel you can accurately express my feelings and reactions to BTS 😊

[@rocioalonsoibanez2321]

I think you should check out Boy meets Evil Comeback trailer. It is a very different J Hope that the one you see here but I think it suits him really well aswell. That comeback trailer leads to the whole wings era, which is basically the start and the climax of all the story BTS is trying to tell throuhg out the years and videos.

[@hmaroni9572]

So good that they got to do songs in their personal style pretty much. This is so hobi

[@sukoria13creations]

It gives me the same vibes that Daydream does. I really think you are spot on with your analysis of the album's vibe.

[@indigodragon0613]

The intro is the intro from their debut. The 2kool4skool album. Besides the Carl Jung symbolism, there are a bunch of hints to the BU storyline. For instance, his ‘narcolepsy’ and ending up in the hospital is exactly from the storyline. There’s a lot of parallels with his Wings short film. Indeed the fake world he’s walking through may represent him hopped up on drugs “the drugs he’s seen taking in the storyline,” and you see the doctor use a defibrillator on him, which could mean he overdosed. The MVs usually have 2 sides. The one that has to do with the album concept itself, and the one that has to do with the storyline.

[@Dixecharm]

@ 10:26..I can explain it...J-hope almost quit the group, but Rm fought for him. Jk was extremely distraught. In the end, he decided to stay and that’s the best choice he made. BEST CHOICE EVER!

[@jojow.877]

ML i think he was depressed in the beginning. i might be wrong though.

[@dhianrachmawati2465]

Love ur reaction n opinion.. agree with that..its a celebration song of their acceptance 💜 I think MOTS album series will be just 2 album.. base on Carl Jung book, its persona, shadow, n ego as a closing

[@MsBlackAlice]

"Ma man" UFF YES

[@Maria-ir1wq]

This song could be a part of his solo mixtape HopeWorld You should react to Daydream also The rap line mixtapes are amazing and you can really see how different their styles are and how they can create the bts style when they combine for the group The vocal line still haven't released any album or mixtape but we know that V and Jk are working on their solo mixtapes/albums too Also Intro: Persona, Interlude: Shadow Outro: Ego

[@douseenow]

Seven years of anguish I think it’s a call to the first 7 years of their career. It’s really been full of anguish. Much like this song it became a part of who they are

[@flyushkifly]

An aside Re: baby j-hope - ARMY laughs when haters accuse BTS of extreme plastic surgery. Looking at their siblings and baby pics, as well as knowing how poor bighit was, it’s obvious nothing much was done if anything. They are just naturally blessed and haters really stretch to find their weapons. (A baby pic google search is cuteness overload, btw)

[@erinraecowin]

I feel like you and Caitlin Marie need to collab. You're both crazy Hobi biases.

[@JAD_BTS_ARMY]

the outro is perfect

[@BlueHairedNightOwl8588]

Intro Persona Interlude Shadow Outro Ego 💜💜💜

[@din-chan305]

RM said in interview with James Corden that 7 means a lot to them, as it has been, among other things, 7 years since their debut. Last year Jin mentioned when receiving an award how a year before that they considered disbanding, and by the reaction of other 6 one could see that it was really hard on them. So it might mean 7 year since their debut. Or it might mean 7 years after him joining BigHit as trainee, as their popularity started rising dramatically fast in 2017, after getting their first Billboard award, I believe.

[@saphobarrau4500]

All the map of the soul solo songs are just the essence of their personalities in songs really if you think about it

[@patriciam8191]

I understand your explanation, but I think that the song and mv is a satirical and positive way to show the deep info of lyrics. It is bright and funny, to listen on vacation as you said, and think that choice was on purpose, to keep the unhapiness and pain hidden. Shadow describe feelings and the way of Suga living them, Ego is on Hobi's way, but both are taking about the same pain, the same difficulties to reach their present. BTS dont be marked by only one song or style, they talk to us through each of them and all chained between them in sequence. Changes of rithm and colour communicate something too. It is not commercial music, it is not easy be an Army.
