I cried too when I realized they were using "sign language" in the choreography.. which is actually very smart to do.

[@LaynieFingers]

BTS are so inclusive, so it makes sense to me for them to use sign language in their dance. It's just sweet...

[@lizziemac0613]

You're not alone, Emeroy. Everyone cried and is still crying. It's such a feel good, happy vibe song that gives us mixed emotions. The dance steps are simple so we can dance along easily plus they integrated ASL to the choreo. BTS are truly the most kind hearted souls.

[@LaynieFingers]

Yes! I thought I was alone in crying every time I see the video! It's just so happy and uplifting, and it brings up all the emotions I've dealt with during the pandemic. So. Many. Emotions.

[@lizziemac0613]

@@LaynieFingers So true. I feel happy whenever I watch their videos.

[@LaynieFingers]

@@lizziemac0613 Yes! I deal with chronic pain, and since I've found BTS they've helped me so much with hardest days. Even my 75 year old mother has gotten hooked on these guys! They're so inclusive and positive... Yeah, they make me emotional! 💜

[@lizziemac0613]

[@cynthiaperez2232]

"What would you do... if, instead of the Avengers coming to save the earth, it was BTS?" Yes! It's already happening. BTS is here to save us!

[@tasheenatomlinson8439]

This was the best quote! 🤣 I’m pretty sure BTS is trying to save us 💜

[@melgaye0]

BTS are the Avengers in my book.

[@lobaetoile8440]

I also noticed how gentle they were dancing... It gives such a different feeling, since usually they go so hard and make their movements sharp and strong. Even with other chill choreographies that are more similar to this one (Boy With Luv, Dynamite, Butter, etc), they usually give a more flirtatious or playful vibe... But this was almost subdue and delicate, weightless.

[@HerQuietLife]

I saw a TikTok video of a woman with a prosthetic leg who did the dance and some people were talking about how making it deliberately low impact was probably very intentional so people from all walks of life could do the dance! Plus the sign language! All during disability awareness month. 🥺💜😭

[@lobaetoile8440]

@@HerQuietLife They said they wanted people to "dance with us, make dance covers" when releasing Dynamite, Butter and PTD. So yes, it's evidently an intentional choice. But, it's also because the choreography has to fit the song and PTD is not harsh sounding.

[@larabiatch]

and joyful too.

[@lina808waterwings]

yes. I enjoy the reactions. JK Le petite prince favorite. Now we are all tired from pandemic. temporary or not. Thanks army/new old friends with emeroy.

[@imatikatu4322]

Butter is actually not easy, but yes also its not that hard, its in the middle but its not easy okay

[@k1nser]

Fun fact: this song was a gift from Ed Sheeran to BTS. And don't worry about being emotional, we cry to their music all the time. Most of their side tracks have really deep lyrics and meaning and I've cried countless times to their music (especially their BE album that they made during the pandemic)

[@jerseybultaoreune6107]

If J-Hope was a song, it would be "Permission to Dance". If PTD was a person, it would be J-Hope. 💜

[@bocawaii]

I cried, I still cry, I’m crying now. The song is liberating and allows us to experience joy so freely! I love and enjoy your reactions so much! BTS gives us the keys to access our own hearts to feel and love deeply. Music IS emotion.

[@nabegamma04]

This is BTS making simple choreo as much as they can so people all over the world can dance to it! They literally make people who watch them want to stand up & hype with them. We don't need permission to dance! U just groove, no judgment

[@wer7witharmy682]

Your reaction is why they made this song and MV. ARMY who complain about it being in English or don't like the use of extras don't understand what BTS is communicating to the world with this song. Ray of Hope indeed.

[@itbesjaime]

A lot of their dances since Suga has recovered from surgery have been simple and a little bit more about the music. Especially since their songs have been in English too. I'm not sure if it's because of Yoongi's recovery or singing in a different language. But you're totally right. If they went hard with dance and choreo it wouldn't have complimented the meaning of the song - which is you can have fun and dance whenever you want. I also believe the idea behind the simple dance moves is that they're intentionally supposed to be mimicked. Jungkook mentioned that he wanted the Army to be able to dance with them together. Just some thoughts.

[@daisybrisco5221]

I do believe Yoongi’s recovery from surgery has a lot to so with the easier choreo of late. If you’ve ever seen a video compilation of Yoongi grimacing after a shoulder move, it’s just heartbreaking to watch 😭😭😭 So glad he’s well now. 💜💜💜

[@itbesjaime]

@@daisybrisco5221 I've not seen a compilation, but I definitely have seen them. He said it got to the point where he couldn't raise his arm and because he wasn't upfront and honest about the injury he probably only worsened it. You can tell he was in a lot of pain just generally. He seems a lot more himself and happy. 💜

[@karenalvarado1940]

You're not the only one who got emotional watching this fun video of BTS. We still can't take our masks off here and I am waiting for that day that we can be happy again and not worry of getting infected, worse dying. Through this song, I'm able to feel good even just in front of my laptop while stuck in my room. Their message of hope through this song is just amazing. They give people strength. So yes, this is a damn emotional happy song. Its crazy and I love every bit of it. :)

[@milakakijalan]

The choreo is meant for people to copy, hence the simple moves. Even my old bones can jive to the song, like a light aerobic. As a dancer you want to dance with them but other reactors just want to hang out with them seeing how crackheads they can be.

[@davidpark2990]

The quick scenes of "people taking off their masks" was so touching. A strong message of hope that this pandemic will end and we can all see each other's beautiful smiles again.

[@bonnietears7608]

Releasing the purple balloon is suppose to be a message of Hope that the Pandemic will end. I think V was a big influence in this video. With V being the creator of "I Purple You", and now Purple being a official color for BTS. "I left a purple balloon in your dream" was a message that V sent to comfort one Army during Covid. V has also has been using a lot of sign language lately. So I think that he had them include it into this video as to help more Army to be able to understand this Video. V is a very thoughtful and caring person as well as the other members. Sign Language: Scratching their body while raising thumb and slightly benting rest of fingers means "Fun". Moving two fingers side to side on top of palm means "Dancing". Fingers up and down touching thumb means "Talking". Two fingers moving means "Walking". And holding up two fingezrs also means "Peace". This was a Celebration of the End of Covid and Army (Showing different Ages, Genders, Nationalities, Jobs/Roles/Frontline Workers, Diversity, and including their own Crew and staff). That was their crew and staff at the end of video. BTS Loves their Army and not wanting to leave out anyone. With what we have gone through this song has brought many people to tears of joy that we still get through this.

[@mochitushy]

The last movements of the chorea signifies "fun", "dance" and "peace" in sign language. This is such genious!

[@katherineann8463]

Thoughts about the simplicity of the PtD choreo: Years ago, Jin famously shared that he was hoping that once they had enjoyed some success, the choreo would get easier. But, he complained, IT WASN'T HAPPENING! It was one of his funniest rants. He was so emphatic. BTS continued doing high energy pieces like ON. Jin kept on dancing and kept up with the others year after year. Then finally came Permission to Dance. Not only was it a gentler routine, but as you can see here - 23:00-23:10 - Jin even had a bit that made him look like he was cueing the others when to do their steps. In every performance, he really owned it like he'd been a choreographer his whole life. So in my mind, Permission to Dance was the long awaited answer to Jin's request. 😊 Then they came out with Yet to Come, which they usually performed while sitting in chairs! 🙃

[@markballard9942]

I think part of the reason for the somewhat simplified choreography on this song is that they wanted listeners to participate in the dancing. They even put out a challenge for videos to be submitted where people were dancing to the music.

[@fawziefuxia]

Random thought I just had: having the simple dance moves really reiterates the lyrics of the song that "we don't need permission to dance" -- so everyone can really just stand and move along?? Ahh don't be embarrassed about having feelings ahahaha this song is meant to remind us that there will be happier days to come and the past year+ have been pretty...challenging. Plenty of us who watched also felt emotional hahaha and omg yesssssss hobi has been especially eye-catching this comeback to me for some reason. Especially in the dance practice!! His smile is rly one of the best things in the world ugh

[@mickieb7417]

Every time I hear this song I get a stupid grin on my face and tears in my eyes. We all need some healing and joy.

[@elina786]

Fun fact: the anagram of 'PERMISSION TO DANCE' is 'STORIES ON PANDEMIC' The purple balloons is the symbol of hope, they signal the end of COVID-19

[@poppyfortea]

It's just so wholesome. One of my favourite things bout BTS is they always seem to release a style of song or album that we need in the moment. I found with the BE album last year, they poured their feelings about the way things were into it. It was an expression of all the lost and confused and a bit hopeful feelings that I think resonated with everyone. And with PTD it's just so optimistic, and hopeful and inclusive. It's just what we need at the moment, and yes it does make me cry. I can't remember if it was in the countdown before the MV went live or in the MV itself, but you can read the headlines on the front of the magazine Jimin was holding, and it was about how 2022 was a new start, and the purple balloons being realised is a symbol of COVID being over, and being able to start healing. I know the purple balloons are already a symbol for ARMY, but the little bit extra about the balloons being a bigger symbol for healing and all the extras in the video seeing the balloons and dancing and taking off their masks had me weeping like a baby.

[@kaylie7376]

I really recommend watching their "Attack on Bangtan" and "Paldogangsan" dance practices back from their old days. The choreographies have a really fun vibe to them

[@mewmew2006]

Great reaction video! Thanks for reviewing this song! A few things I wanted to mention: - In an interview BTS mentioned that they hoped this song would encourage people to get up and dance. That's maybe why they picked choreo that was easier for most people to follow - In the teaser for the MV, they show a newspaper with an article that says purple balloons signify the end of Covid. That's why there are so many purple balloons and towards the end you see people taking off their masks after the purple balloons are released - I read this somewhere and it made me appreciate the MV more, the MV focuses on some of the people who were hit the hardest due to Covid - teachers, service workers (wait staff), postal service workers, people with disabilities, kids. They really put a lot of thought into the message behind this video!

[@PJ6342]

BTS songs is about being happy and some of us are still trying to find happiness after covid 19. BTS is a no judge zone, we all cry because their message is so emotional it hits the heart 🥰 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@mimilapin]

Hobi/j-hope glows when he dances I think? He's so good at smiling while performing, it looks really natural and warm! They're all incredible but hobi's smile is really contagious!

[@jajarodriguez7169]

One of the good things with BTS is they are sensitive with their environment without losing their essence.

[@ideagirl]

Since the pandemic...Dynamite, Butter, Permission to Dance are all easy going feel good choreography. They made this choice on purpose. No hard drive grinding difficult choreography is appropriate at this time!!! You are right. They all deliver hope and joy with their smiles and fun music. They knew you would be crying. They knew it would touch your heart. Their concept with these 3 songs works. And everyone loves it! Number 1 on Billboard...all 3 songs. You do know they put out a PTD dance challenge to everyone on KZbin. "Anyone can pick it up." You got it. This choreography is for everyone. Even people who dance down the grocery aisles!!. So of course they made it simple to include everyone...no matter age, disability, dance ability, gender, ..... One thing you didn't catch and Jimin does it in most all of his dances, he lands with his feet in 3rd position...and many end poses in 3rd position too. He also walks forward walking in model mode. One foot crossing over in front of the other.

[@yukifoxdemon]

This song is amazing, and you're exactly right about the message and the easier dancing. I watched the video of them making this and they said they wanted it to encapsulate the feeling of joy and hope that we'll feel when the pandemic is finally under control and we're back to normal. I'm not sure if you picked up on it, but that's the whole reason for the purple balloons, and it's actually shown somewhere in the video. They also wanted the dance moves to be easy enough for anyone to be able to do it.

[@JiminsBubbles]

Watching in 2023 and my heart is bursting with feelings, not sure why I am comforted yet crying all at once with a feeling of hope… but all choked up. What?!???

[@EmeroyB]

Music has this incredible power to evoke a myriad of emotions. Sometimes, it's a mix of nostalgia, hope, and raw emotion. It's beautiful how it can make us feel so much.

[@audriepramesti8941]

From all BTS MV and performance, Permission to Dance is the one really gives mix feeling wanna smile and cry at the same time when you watching it. The lyrics, the situation when the song released, the MV, everything really gives that

[@OT7_DopeOldARMY]

This song was created, from beginning to end, as a gift to ARMY. Part of that is easy choreography that everyone can do, inclusiveness for everyone (old, young, all races, the deaf, etc., etc.). Its message also supports and gives hope to those most affected by the pandemic around the world - frontline workers (retail, restaurants), the elderly, teachers, janitors/cleaning crews, children. I think that message is SO deeply ingrained in this video that many of us can't help but have the same visceral reaction that you did. There is joy, hope, a tinge of sadness, and that feeling that we've all been in this together. BTS makes me very proud to be ARMY at the age of 55. 💜😊💜 They are also cooking up something with KZbin Shorts related to this song - that announcement is coming soon.

[@brendamiller5785]

When they practice in the studio, they wear white "bibs" like marathon runners wear. They have their names on them, So their personal camera can follow them on stage....And yes, they know Exactly know where the camera is, ..smiling and winking, etc because they want the audience to react just like you did! ha

[@daliliaina_7625]

a note on them dancing to adapt a western audience its actually on purpose, they tend to do that as well with the tone and style of the songs that they promote in japan, so its mostly just a bts thing to sort of show their range or versatility if youd like to see it that way, as they have been putting all english solos targeting american audiences they put it as a priority to be able to connect with the ""style ""but again, they do the same with the japanese albums, the tone matches the vibe of japan and their korean projetcs (most of their discography lol) its also relatable to them so yep a nice thing to see

[@terriejohnson6767]

You experienced what many of us did. This song and the MV are what we all need right now. BTS, and Ed Sheeran for this song, seem to have a lock on what we are all feeling. It's nice to see someone else react they way I did... making that connection not only with BTS, but with strangers and understanding that we are NOT so separated as some might like us to think.

[@a.k.a.b-hope1088]

They say, BTS finds you when you need them the most. I think you just had one of those personal connecting moments. They did with me and they give me strength and joy to move forward with my life, remind me every day that I am good, that we're all going to be okay and this world is going to be better because of all the good people in this world working hard to make it a better planet for all of us. Bless BTS and ARMY!💜

[@azulb5641]

I cried too! Watching it during the premiere and seeing them happy and just the song's vibe is so wholesome. Then they added sign language and I was crying even more. It was released during army's bday too so it made it even more special. This song is honestly perfection and I'm so happy you reacted to it!

[@paperheartue4790]

I do think one reason that you feel it so much is becuz you're a dancer, and you also miss the stage like they do. The COVID just affects a lot. I just wish that you could meet your audiences and BTS could meet Army soon >_

[@mistym1752]

The choreography was harder and the members asked them to make it easier so Army could learn it and dance along.

[@dulceandrade9469]

You got emotional because you are a good hearted person! Men can and should cry. It's human to do so. I appreciate your knowledge, as always.

[@imajinallthepurple]

This was a birthday gift to ARMY. They wanted to keep the choreography simple so we could dance along, english so we could sing along and sent out purple hope balloons to all of us in the mv. 💜

[@sheenashroff]

15:25 Exactly - the connection intensifies as more senses are activated - sight, sound (both heard and spoken/sung), and now a physical sensation / motion to latch on - SO powerful! :) I LOVE THIS!!!!!

[@threem43]

Honestly I didn't cry when I watched the MV by myself, but now that I saw that it made you that emotional I cried with you 🥺

[@heathernile4700]

Thanks for your reviews I really appreciate and enjoy them.🤗💜 The signs that they are doing are: **Hands alt ⬆️⬇️ on chest with thumbs up= joyful/happy **✌downwards towards palm and swing wrist back and forth=💃🕺dancing 💃 **✌upward = peace **walking fingers up arm=walk **✌touch index finger to outer eye with middle finger pointing out.(not down like posing for pictures) Then pull from eye towards who you are looking 👀= I see you/I'm watching you These are the ones sign language signs i saw immediately. I have some hearing loss and learned when I was young so I am glad to see BTS do something like this 💜

This is what BTS Music does it hits your emotions 🥰

[@genovevalara71]

I never seen you so emocional. You made me cry. Thanks for reacting to BTS Permission To Dance. Sending Lots Of Agape Love Always all the way from El Paso,Texas.

[@viannebelle]

Hahaha. You’re not a sap. That’s just the magic of BTS and why they are so genuinely special. They do so many brilliant and thoughtful things like that, that the emotions sneak up on you and then BAM….you ARMY. I read about a woman tweeting about seeing the mv for the first time with her def son and she just bawled. That’s so special. Representation matters, in all walks of life. 💜

[@Jeykayyy7]

When you started tearing up, i clicked the subscribe button right away. I rarely see reactors these days who shows genuine reactions. Honestly, i feel like some are just getting on the kpop trend just to gain views and build their channel. I never felt that when i watched this video, and i plan on watching your other videos as well. And i love that you are not pausing which kinda annoys me when i see others do it excessively. Goodluck on your channel. No doubt you’ll reach 100k subs in no time. God bless you!

[@bauistik3982]

Exactly! BTS aims to bring hope, comfort, support, joy and happiness to everyone. BTS wants the world to be a better place to live in and they’re doing it gradually right from the beginning. BTS is the best! There’s nothing like BTS!

[@anzumimikoushi6376]

from what I know, PTD is like you said, sort of a message saying that there still is hope and stuff- and like the lyrics go "We don't need permission to dance" and dancing is a way to like express joy so it's basically implying that we don't need permission to be happy and yeah lol

[@a.k.a.b-hope1088]

Yes! That's our Hobi! Personally, I feel Hobi gives us the most smiles and expressions when he performs. He always makes me smile and feel good. It's a treat just to watch him perform. He is a natural performer. That's why he is our Sunshine Angel! On the other note, love the way you break down the dance intricately in details from every expressions to each movements and enjoy the performance as a dancer.

[@insectbah]

you say you haven't ever cried so much at a music video...have you seen the mv for life goes on? that made me cry even without knowing the lyrics

[@jmvelez-cruz8348]

that no matter how difficult life gets, our hope, joy and the freedom to decide to find happiness in any way we know how ... yeah we do not need anyone's permission to dance and get to that happy place we need to survive & thrive that's how I felt when I first saw & heard this

[@Melamori]

all the emosh! Also cried watching it, BTS out there tapping into the longing for unburdened life and carefree joy

[@loreleiabarquez2406]

Your comments were accurate and on point like the kind of dance, Jimin stance, Hobi's smile, the song and most specially your crying because a lot of people who watched the video cried too.

[@reneezemlock7880]

I'm always amazed by Jimin's turn out @_@ There is a behind the scene making of out for this MV and JK literally says he wants that scene to feel like a musical :P Jimin said in the reaction BTS did of this MV that this MV made him feel the most joy. Also.. they said the final scene with the crew was unplanned. They had gathered to take an end-of-shoot photo and someone started the music so they all just started dancing.

[@ageeknamedanuk236]

Aww... I cried too.Happy proud tears!😊 They always try to make others feel the music they make. The whole BH are genius. The choices they make from song choice, wardrobe, choreo, stage and video design, are always spot on! I love them!💜💜😍😍😍

[@armymomot7931]

They said they wanted “everyone” to be able To Dance To It!!!! No Permission Required!! 😉 You Get It! That’s the whole Point🙌🏻 We All know they can do supercalifragilistic harrrrrrrd choreo! This was For Us non-pros!! 🤩🥰 The love they SHARE for us is Astounding! 💟❤️‍🔥💟

[@EmeroyB]

glad you liked it!

[@amalhentati212]

they all have such great stage performance but especially hobi, he was born to be on stage. I suggest you watch some live performances from their concerts (not music shows or music awards). They are so good on stage, once you go to a bts concert you'll always want to comeback (I haven't been able to attend one but even watching makes you addicted to their live performances)

[@beatrizlenat8724]

not me crying all over my keyboard again bc of bts and emeroy haha loved the video and the reaction and your comments about the coreography

[@t3732]

omg at 28:13 when you said it feels like a musical you're so right bc i think in the behind the scenes video they said something like that about that part

[@ideagirl]

"I would love to dance with them." Then make it happen. The choreographer for "On" submitted choreography of her dance troupe to Big Hit. They loved it!!!When you watch the first outdoor MV and many other versions...at Grand Central Station...she is dancing with them. The opening shot ...she is center stage...front row. She is originally from Hawaii. Her story is quite interesting. Anyway, come up with some amazing unique idea for choreography and send it in! I am a retired choreographer. When I hear music, I see dance. I have embarrassed my family my whole life dancing down the aisles of grocery stores whilst holding on to the shopping cart. I have lots of ideas for BTS. I am going to take action and get the ideas to BTS. I know I'm on the right track because I already had the idea for them to incorporate sign language into their choreography. My other idea that has come true is for BTS to represent South Korea for peace missions. Recently their President asked them to lead a mission to the United Nations. They will be in NY this fall. My opinion...I don't think they should have to serve their 2 years of military service in training, but to serve 2 years in Peace Missions. They already have their own army all over the world!!! I look forward to see you dancing with BTS. In the on site MV PTD their choreographer IS dancing with them in the back row!!!

[@boyskiz]

They made the choreo or dance steps of PTD easy intentionally so every body or anybody can dance to it even people with disability like hearing impairment can joint and dance as you don't need permission to dance. Just be happy is the message.

[@donnaoconnell643]

I cried too. It feels good and makes my heart sing.

[@momohatsana]

J-Hope's stage presence is always 💯 🔥🔥

[@marialeahragadio1635]

Thank you Emeroy! Thank you BTS! Yes to hope! Yes to helping each other overcome what we are experiencing! Thank you Armies and non-armies alike for enjoying the song! Thank you to the song writer/s - Ed Sheeran, et al. Thank you for the choreograpers and everyone behind the scene. This song, the MVs, the live performances, the reactions/reactors, the listeners, it is just so ... it is so surprising how all of these can make most of us emotional and hopeful and happy! I just wish this pandemic will end soon. Let us all continue spreading this kind of "positivity" helping each and everyone survive! Borahae to all!

[@she0521]

I think you missed the move when they did the tapping of the shoulders. The part of the lyrics is "we don't need to worry" like they were comforting each other.

[@djhm42280]

I love the inclusivity in the music video. I'm hard of hearing and support my daughter's love of BTS. I felt included when I saw the sign language used. I enjoyed this video, very honest and unbiased review. Will subscribe.

[@joannevillareal8220]

I'm glad you connected well with the song. I cried again with you.. This song made me feel hopeful and just simply made me happy,. I love it even more the more I listen to it. I'm so glad you understood the song and the way they did this choreo.

[@olgag9901]

this is such a feel-good song and MV. I wasn't a fan the first time I saw it but it really grew on me (yeah, I watched it like a dozen of times by now). I watched a reaction on this MV from a video editor today and it's really interesting to see a video analyzed from different points of view.

[@riiavision4851]

thank you for sharing your genuine reaction! the message of the song and the music video is exactly what you described! and being from a country where c*vid is still taking over our lives and still on a lockdown, the video was a ray of hope, that the day would come when i'll actually get to feel summer air outside of my home, that I'd meet my friends without beinf scared of them and for them! that day will come eventually. but I thank BTS for giving me a reminder that life will go on

[@tsheringpaldendorji2622]

Everyone cried and is still crying over this mv. This is foe sure one of bts's best mv

[@leahtuten1387]

I just realized I'm wearing the same headphones, although mine are pink 😁

[@EmeroyB]

headphone twins!

[@sarahgawn5828]

I’m only a third of the way though your video, but I just got to the point where you start crying. This choreo and performance is amazing because it is so intentionally inclusive! As a dancer, a choreographer and a member of the disability community the first thing I noticed about the flash mob part was how easily it could be adapted for limited mobility and to a seated position. I thought the fingers dancing on a palm was kind of a weird choice and that’s when it hit me that it must sign language. It’s absolutely incredible!!! I don’t think I have ever seen artists on this scale create a piece of work that was this inclusive. AND they did it in a way where they didn’t tokenize a person with a disability or use disability as inspiration porn. It’s just there, and accessible. There wasn’t some call or push back that forced them to be inclusive they just did it! The members do an amazing job at staying enthusiastic and selling the choreo even though it isn’t as technically challenging as the rest of the performance catalog. They put just as much energy and intensity into this as they do Dionysus. They don’t write it off because it isn’t as challenging for them! This makes the accessibility aspect of the dance shine. It doesn’t look like some lame “we had to adapt this so here you go I guess” it looks fun and like everyone is invited to the party. This really is such a special moment and I hope other artists are paying attention

Your reaction made me cry so hard, ugly crying, BTS is so moving 😢😊❤

[@EmeroyB]

BTS has a way of touching the soul. Their music and message resonate deeply with so many of us

[@illegirl9527]

Did you notice the ASL they integrated to their dance steps? Please watch their video, reacting to their own MV of PTD :) The raw footage at the end included their cast, crew and big bosses at HYBE :)

[@zoneinarmei]

He did notice

[@rlatonyaellis806]

Did you know that BTS company is looking for another Choreographer...Just an FYI. Anyway thank you for your reaction. I really enjoyed it and loved your raw emotions. You are not alone, I cried too and from what I hear, many others did too.

[@girlwithluv_and_ugh9975]

It’s ok to cry. This song is so happy & hopeful. Especially since the whole world has been suffering from this pandemic. We ALL can relate to it and the possibility of life going back to how it was is very emotional.

[@srfzon]

BTS knows dancing would be a good form of coping/relief from despair and depression. Yes, MV is a beacon of hope and a way for them to give comfort and love not only to ARMY but to the world. They are true super heroes in my 💜🤙🏾

[@madonnamontejo]

I love your reaction. Thank you having such a genuine and heart felt reaction. I'm so glad you understood the message of the song. I hope you could react to the dance practice. Or i hope you could react to their Bullet proof pt.2 , danger and N.O. music and practice video and also Baepsae practice video and live performance . Can't wait for more reactions to BTS from you. A fan from the Philippines 🇵🇭💜💜💜💜

[@sruticranjith5194]

I cried too, its just been so hard with this pandemic, everythings just stuck i see some other countries getting out of it which doesnt evn seem like a possibility for third world countries now. So its just the right time to get this hope, i needed this a lot and who else can do it better than BTS ofcourse

[@sushmo7100]

Excellent reaction. And you said it “Men can cry”. We as humans feel emotions and it can overwhelm us. Your empathy was coming through so strong when you cried. That makes you a wonderful and strong person. Thank you.

[@jerseybultaoreune6107]

Men don't need permission to cry. 🤗

[@sushmo7100]

@@jerseybultaoreune6107 Absolutely! They need to give themselves the permission to cry 😊

[@hauwakabir7777]

I’m happy to say this is exactly what they wanted to achieve with this song and they’d be so proud to know people feel this way about it🥺

[@ceci8556]

I'm surprised that you haven't seen much of their early stuff. You should at least check out the dance practices, or maybe a 'best of compilation'. This was back when they were practicing 12-14 hours a day and it shows. You may recognize some of the names behind the choreography. Could you guess the choreographer by watching the dance? All dance practices can be found at BANGTANTV, their official channel.

[@DearsimracingIsuck]

That's what music is meant to do! Loved this reaction, so genuine. Keep it up man, great job!

[@beautifulloly]

I know a lot of ppl felt emotional, idk it's just so wholesome and hopeful :')))

[@mariannicolelim7319]

Watching this for the second time. You're so fun to watch, i like it how you explain and analyzed things. Btw when i watched this for the first time i cried when you cried and still cried for the second time hahahaha My mom thought im crazy 🤣

[@lemontea417]

so Suga's part is a locking move, and the lyrics are "...we don't got this on lock" I love that :D

[@anettesalgado5312]

I luv how genuine your reactions are 😊💜

[@ideagirl]

The on site MV is an arid desert type place. Cowboy attire was appropriate there. Make sure you see that original version. I do love the choreography except for one part I don't think fits. I am going to see if you catch which part. You did find out that they used sign language in their choreography. Right?? Way cool.

[@karyngarcia1241]

I cried the first time I saw that video, is so emotional

[@karyngarcia1241]

Well I cried again :')

[@EmeroyB]

you're gonna make me cry

[@hypertwink]

My fave move is the superhero landing :)

[@etol]

This makes me so hopeful. I think many people are expecting complicated lyrics and movements, but I think the simplicity of this video allowed us to feel the sincerity of the message. That there is a better life waiting for us. That despite the difficulties we are experiencing, if we held ourselves together and keep that positive energy, we will be dancing again in complete freedom in the not so distant future. If an artist moved you, is it not the best work of art. To have the connection and live that moment. And to be so inclusive that everyone is well represented and reached out. 😭😭😭

[@wenga6841]

Hi Emeroy. In the MV, they incorporated international sign language for the deaf particularly signs for "let's have fun", "dance" and "peace". Truly amazing!

[@bhavleenk]

We all needed this "feel good" song at this time. BTS never disappoint us.💜

[@amytucker1902]

Thanks for being real

[@jean3A]

I got super emotional over their dance practice after seeing how joyful they were in their performance. And I was genuinely surprised. It's surprisingly powerful for some of us for reasons I cannot fully understand or articulate.

[@kaylang7376]

Its mind-blowing how they can affect us. Maybe cos we are ALL going through this shit and want to see the end of it.

[@UKNOBTS]

I cried too. I totally get your emotions. And BTS was put here to save the World! 😁🥰

[@domialcazar1053]

creo que sabes transmitir el sentimiento, a traves del estudio de la técnica ayudado por tu humanidad y conocimiento. Debes ser buena gente. Besos desde España💜

[@jameskeyes1131]

Great professional analysis of the choreography. Good job. Yes, this is a really feel good song. I hadn't noticed the WELCOME BACK sign before in the office. If you watch closely, there is a lot of sign language here. Even though the variants are causing the end to be further way, this gives us hope that some day we can be normal again. Well done.
