For some time BTS couldn't really admit that the song was about the tragedy, because the government was blacklisting artists for speaking out about this. It came out years later that BTS actually visited the families of the victims after the disaster happened and I'm pretty sure made donations through BigHit even though they didn't have much money themselves back then. And obviously, they risked their career by that move. They were already being shot at by a lot of people in the industry (accusations of plagiarism and sajegi and other things) and through this they risked turning the government against themselves too. Finally, last year, they pretty much admitted that the music video is related to the tragedy. But BTS have always wanted their music to be approachable for many different people, so of course, you can definitely interpret the video differently based on your own experiences. I'm really glad that you took your time to look into everything and I can't wait for the Italian ARMY one. But it is really hard to see you cry. Maybe we should recommend something more upbeat. Like Mic Drop. That one's fun and the lyrics are funny 😄. But since you love symbolism, I feel like you will definitely find a lot to dive into in ON (official MV - lots of religious symbolism, among other things) or Blood, Sweat & Tears (Demian by Herman Hesse, art and mythology). I'm glad you're taking a little break between the videos. It is said that ARMY is always one "bogoshipda" away from tears and this song is why.

[@JoobieLoobieSoobie]

This is not true at all. The black listing was happening in 2015-2016 and BTS was not involved. The government doing the blacklisting was voted out of power and the president was jailed. Spring Day was not written until 2017, long after the blacklisting had stopped.

[@Ana-id6uk]

@@JoobieLoobieSoobie I think they wouldn't have been listed cause of the video, yeah, because it came out during the protests against the former president - around the time when she was getting impeached largely due to the sewol tragedy (she got arrested a month after the video came out). But they both donated and met directly with the families secretly after the accident, and they performed Am I Wrong on national TV which has a pretty critical political jab in there in 2016, so those things could have gotten them listed in my opinion. P.S. apparently the list was for people critical of her and her party, not just sewol. And getting involved still seems risky, cause what if the trial ended differently.... P.S.S. I think they kept it quiet because Sewol is extremely politicized and to this day every political party has an opinion and speaks out about it. They were already used for so many political agendas, and some claim that they are supporters of the current president and his regime

I'm from south korea and im 18 years old. After the incidents in 2014 i remember back then my father was one of the rescuer, and i remember after the incident some of my friends from dawon high school are all crying all day for the whole month. I was sad and devastated during that time, im still young way back when this happened. And this is what we south korean teenagers promise to ourselves after the incidents WE CAN RESPECT ELDERS, BUT THOSE WHO ONLY DESERVE IT, FOLLOW OUR ELDERS AS ALWAYS BUT TO THOSE WHO ONLY DESERVED IT. Im a from korea and im an army and this is the most tragic incidents that happened to us💔 and up until now it hurts.

[@jmsj77]

im not from SK but we empathize with you on this. we can just imagine how hard this must all be for you. no matter how many times ive listened to this song or watch clips and read up on what happened, it all comes flooding back in. one good thing that came out is that it gave you all the strength to speak up and be yourselves. we salute you for that. please always hold your head up high and know that you are all not alone.

[@p3nth3sil3a7]

Take your time with the Italian Army version. They have made almost a documentary with real life clips and these are very very hard to watch. Also don't hesitate to pause that, too - they are cramming a lot of information in very quickly. Spring Day to me is an absolute masterpiece expressed in visuals, music and lyrics. No matter how much it makes me cry. And yes, we must never forget what happens to systems of power if we look away too long.

[@ma.anjelicachan3351]

Yeah i wished someone helped her re edit it so that the captioning isnt awkwardly placed. She made the documentary style video so well just sad that some reactor say no cause the captioning

[@MBella123]

There are many footages of the students talking to their parents on the phone while the ship was sinking. Some of them have no idea what’s really happening, some of them are really saying goodbye to their families 😢

[@rohiniiiiiii-i]

I still remember watching that video and my heart aches so much

[@minjimunji]

Oh my god I couldn’t even stomach that, I had to stop watching. So heartbreaking

[@almafowlow8165]

I always warn new Army to tread lightly when checking out Spring Day. You HAVE to be mentally and emotionally ready for it. It’s not just another song. It’s a masterpiece. This is one of the reasons why BTS and ARMY have a very strong bond.

[@JoobieLoobieSoobie]

Notice the very first slide: This explanation is about the MUSIC VIDEO. And I think it's correct. As for the song itself, it can be interpreted many ways, including the way this MV director chose. But a lot of ARMY do not know that BTS actually did write a different song that includes verses specifically about the Sewol Ferry sinking and cover-up. It's called "Am I Wrong". And if the corrupt government responsible had not been toppled shortly after, they might have faced repercussions for that song. A lot of the social protest songs from BTS are more obvious to people in South Korea because the topics are very specific to that country. BTS have quite a few subversive social commentary songs. They are carrying on a tradition that began with the very first K-pop group, Seo Taiji and Boys. Seo Taiji was EXTREMELY controversial, banned, censored, attacked. But he also forced a lot of cultural change. At his 25th anniversary concert he brought BTS on stage and literally passed the protest song torch by doing 8 songs with them, even letting them add a rap verse to his most controversial song, "Classroom Idea". Lots of people who don't understand Korean or know who Seo Taiji is think BTS was doing "nazi cosplay". If you want to know the real story, you should react to the video called "BTS did Nazi cosplay? No, it's not true - classroom idea (Eng. lyrics)". And you will get to watch BTS do a performance like nothing you will EVER see anywhere else. FYI the backup band is Gukkasten, best rock band in South Korea. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rne5dZppl9lsm80

[@kore4884]

Wow, my mind's blown! More Armies should see that!! Didn't even know who's Seo Taiji! I came back from the link. Thank you so much for introducing. I'm glad I caught your comment 👍👍👍💜💜💜💜

[@ForeverAmber_1]

Thanks for the link! I never realized Seotaiji has such a mesmerizing speaking voice. 🤘

[@kitsuneborahae]

Am I Wrong is a fantastic song, even if you don't understand all the little cultural mentions. Seo Taiji and Gukkasten are such a huge part in understanding both the history and variety of modern Korean music.

[@JoobieLoobieSoobie]

I forgot to mention that in this video you can hear fanchants, like at 5:26 (Chik! Cheok!) and see one of the very first point choreography dances, showing that these have been part of the music since the very beginning.

[@jacquereid9958]

A couple of important details: when Jen is watching the dryers he resembles the children looking out the boat windows for help that never came also when RM and JK close their eyes and bow their head it represents the momentous their deaths.

[@user-cb7mq4wb1u]

Take rests when you need. Spring Day will always touch hearts. BTS constantly are talking about societal issues and if not, they have plenty of introspective songs with deep messages that can touch hearts once again. The fact that the members are so into their music (by contribution) and what they put it in lyrically makes it another thing as well. Artists talking about this issue directly faced major issues and consequences with the government (banning) so it was a huge risk in itself to imply anything directly for BTS. They're constantly changing the game and I've never seen an artist like them with such a diverse range Can you check out the Rise of Bangtan docuseries? Since you're exploring more K-pop groups it'll give you some backstory about it and also what made BTS different. For example, in the first episode, it tricks us into thinking the company was as strict as all these other companies when in actuality BTS had more leniency. I'm not saying they didn't have tiring schedules, but it was more so their dedication than being as forced upon. The creator of the series just got noticed by a Rolling Stone author who used it to get to know BTS more before interviewing them

[@eggie2511]

You use your title track to lure people in but if your b-sides can't show that ur group is special then you're not going to survive. - Reiteration of form of therapy He needs to check out Rise of Bangtan for sure if he's going to continue venturing out with more K-pop groups (let's remember to respect everyone though). It'll be interesting for him to compare to the K-pop industry and then what BTS did with small similarities and big differences. Spring Day is a phenomenal song but this is yet another one of their surfaces. What made BTS so different that they stand out from K-pop? K-pop just one label for them. But how are they more than their "competitors" ?

[@ot7biasedmashups]

Yup, still makes me cry every single time. The choreography is beautiful as well

[@shellys873]

The New Yorker has a video also on this tragedy which includes some parents of a student, some of the survivors and volunteer divers.

[@nelliezamborsky3224]

That was so hard to watch...

[@jlw10043]

The New Yorker doc is an incredible 30 min short about the tragedy. Some images from this tragedy still haunt me until today.

[@emilyl1094]

@@nelliezamborsky3224 Yes, especially watching the poor desperate parents crying for help from the Govt and the Coast Guards who did nothing. Most survivors were saved by fishing boats. The Coast Guards came very late and kept waiting for instructions. A few good journalists had interviewed those voluntary civilian divers who were prepared to dive in and save any survivors during the golden hours. Their equipments were being sabotaged. The worse was that a couple of civilian divers committed suicide afterwards due to the post trauma of recovering many young students' bodies. This tragedy could be prevented if not for the greed and corruption of their Government, Conglomerate Firms and irresponsibilities of the Captain and some crews.

[@kelseymattison4987]

I'll always remember this, because I was around 14? and had just been on a school trip to another country via ferry I'll never forget how my mom broke down at what happened to these students from around the world because she could relate to the fear so much She sat me down and gave me a talk about how if I ever felt my life was at risk or in any sort of danger, no matter what an authority figure or teacher said I should do what I can to survive, and drag my friends with me.... I imagine its not a talk many parents think about preparing to have with their children, but it stuck with me

[@hannahanuta]

Wow, this was such an honest and heartfelt reaction - I think all armies really appreciate this!! This song is just so real and emotional, I think it was such a kind gesture of BTS to make this song.

[@rarariri6658]

I think i saw a few videos not along ago, when the incident occur, the students in the ferry manage to record some videos, sending messages to their families, but i can't help myself to watch it all, because my heart 😭😭😭😭its too heartbreaking, sad and cruel😭😭😭

[@mochiwithjiminjam]

I couldn´t watch it either. Too painfull. So heartbraking words are not enough

[@danwlfn]

After Sewol ship sunk down to water, Seaguards stopped rescuing, but students was sending messages families. So families show the messages to Seaguards proof of student survival. Wiredly someone hacked into all of victim's family phone and erased all of those last messages.

[@natasha4440]

In the videos the students are making jokes like how they are going to be the next titanic, making videos for loved ones, there is one specific video that lives in my head it was a guy telling his youger sister not to go on school trips if she doesnt want to be like him, there is also others asking if the teahers are safe even while nearly drowning

[@rachiepants3408]

Aw man, I was hoping you’d do Italian ARMY’s first, cause she actually explains the incident right away. But that’s alright, I’m glad you did research and I’m glad you’re at least going to watch it! Most reactors just watch this one and never go back to another explained video even when the comments recommend it.

[@rachiepants3408]

But yeah, spring day is a tough one. When they recovered some of the phones from the ferry, they were also able to recover some footage that the students took while they were waiting. It’s some pretty heart wrenching stuff and yeah, you can clearly hear the Captain telling them to stay in their spots while the ship is literally tilted like 45 degrees. And this song came out in spring of 2017, which is also when the ship was finally recovered from the ocean, 3 years after the incident occurred

[@etol]

This is one of the most sincere reaction for Spring Day. Not only because you pay attention to the lyrics, the M/V and the theory surrounding it... but most of all, with your genuine interest in the tragedy. You looked it up in the middle of your reaction. And chose to read it all by yourself, just to have a grasp of what happened. THIS, I believe, is the best way to look at this situation. Awareness, empathy, and to gain the lessons from this tragedy. With that, you went above the song and the video, and put the message up and above - to reach and touch and enlighten everyone. This brought me to actually realizing that I haven't discussed this with my son and the idea of obedience with the elders also have a certain limit, most especially if its putting safety in question. Thank you. Appreciate this so much.

[@vivianmso]

Thank you for doing your own research on this as well. I highly recommend Italian Army's because most reactors don't do any additional research and I don't feel this video gives as complete a backstory/context on just how tragic this incident was. Looking forward to the Italian Army explained as well. Take all the time to decompress in between that you need. Borahae!

[@wingdam1983]

Make sure you have a box of tissue beside you if you watch the Italian Army video.

[@PurpleMoonWings]

FCK. AM STILL CRYING. 😭 ARMY HUG? P.S. On a recent press conference, one of the boys (Jin, i believe) has confirmed it's about "a tragedy" but didn't reiterate.. They DID say that ofcourse there will be other interpretations but "lost" is the general theme. P.P.S. i kept refreshing your page yesterday waiting for this one! 😭 I clicked so fast! LOL. Don't worry. "Spring Day" became a comfort song for a lot of the survivors and their family hence it IS very special to ARMY! It's just a reminder that we all have each other and #YouNeverWalkAlone (the album title, btw). P.P.P.S. This song NEVER left the TOP 100 charts for 4 and a half years now. It also rises up every comeback. We call it the QUEEN although Yoongi/SUGA calls it "ZOMBIE QUEEN" because he says, and i quote "it just never dies". 😂😂😂

[@raquelarcienega839]

As I said before they were able to establish the essence of this tragedy, they were able to express the mourning that everyone in the world who new about this situation felt. BTS are not only talent, music, performance, but emotions, feelings, you can see their expressions during the video. We can feel them. This is just an example of what BTS is about. Loved your reaction because we could feel you, ARMY feels the same everytime we listen this song. Thank you so much! 💜

[@leeswhimsy]

A masterpiece...it's never left the Korean music charts, not once, and that kind of says it all as far as what it means to the Korean people. It astounds me how brave BTS was (and their company, BigHit) for doing this...and they were only 19 - 25 years old at the time. The current government in South Korea has much better individuals at its helm, I believe.

THis video is great and very well done. The explanation video made by the Italian Army is maybe most complete, but most heartbreaking too.

I am really glad that you decided to go through this song, and will see both explanations, but I would like to emphasize that you don't have to force yourself to finish the next explanation video. The Italian ARMY video is very detailed and extremely heavy, with real life footage of the victims and their families. After (or before) publishing it, the creator even went to Korea to meet the families of the victims, donate and extend comfort. Please take care of yourself, and don't force yourself to go through it if it feels overwhelming! Thank you again for the reactions

Korea for the tragedy-, there is even a graduation ceremony held for the students on the year they were supposed to graduate -- thank you again for reacting- this song is still in the s.k. charts even though it came out in 2017 -- 💜💜💜💜

This song has so much meaning to me!!!! 10 years ago I lost my son 14 years ago I lost my best friend and first love to suicide, and 8 years ago I lost my daughter. They all died, when I was at my weakest. I couldn't think about then to any capacity, then I hear this song and the lyrics made me realize that I am not the only one going through a tough loss. There are people who understand me. BTS took me out of winter and put my in spring. I listen to this song everyday. It's the first thing I listen too and the last.

Rest In Peace to all those who lost their lives, you will never be forgotten and I pray to the families and friends who lost friends and family. 💜🙏

[@beccal.5369]

We are all crying with you.... #you never walk alone... now you can truly appreciate what it is that we love about these 7 young men... and their power to touch the heart of an entire nation and beyond into the world with a genuine desire to heal.

[@pishop.ot7692]

Yey! My favourite baby ARMY. Let's watch

[@norma524]

I watched the documentary What Went Wrong in the South Korean Ferry Disaster? | The New Yorker and it is heartbreaking. Now every time listen to Spring Day I tear up. After 4 years it is still on the Korean Gaon Music Chart.

[@imajinallthepurple]

I'm glad you're taking a break between the explanation videos. The next one hit me so hard but it's also very important as it dives deeper into the true story and BTS's role in it. 😢

[@soomian6439]

Appreciate your open mind and ability to be vulnerable and open with your emotions. Spring Day and Spring Day explained was one of the things that cemented my journey as Army. But once you go through the Bangtan Universe, you will really experience the beauty of BTS, their artistry and storytelling powers. Their own hopes, dreams and struggles are intertwined in the fictional storyline and music. They have been around for 8 years and have been on an uphill battle from the beginning. That is why a common theme in their music is that your hardest times eventually become the brightest stars in your life as you overcome each hurdle. You come out a better and stronger version of yourself and we should love ourselves with all our faults and mistakes. "Crash Course to BTS 2020" is a good watch and gives you a taste for what their discography represents, how it's organised and themes without spoiling anything. 💜

[@VictoriaLovesMusic]

the one by Italian army is based more on facts and details not speculation. its not theories anymore its the truth of what happened. edit: i watched the intro to your video lmao

[@MBella123]

He’s gonna check this one out later. He mentioned in the beginning of the video

[@VictoriaLovesMusic]

@@MBella123 yeah i commented before i finished watching his intro 😅

[@kimia9]

spring day is the qeen. thank you for your reaction. i watch alot of channels, but i really appreciated that you took the time to get into it beyond the video. as you said, there can be alot of interpretations. for me, as someone who used to be suicidal, it genuinely was springday...that saved my life. it got me hooked to life looking forward for spring to come with this incredible journey with bts. they are truly special and i will forever own them. your reaction warmed my heat so once again thank you

[@camc1057]

There are aactually videos recorded by the students inside the ship while it sank, you could hear in the speakers the voice telling them to stay put. You could see and hear the students laughing and joking about how inclined the ship was, how they could barely stand up. And you could tell when they began realizing that they might not make it out.

[@banjong5415]

I was waiting for your reaction all day!

[@banjong5415]

Just to add a few more comments. I’m 64 years old Asian American woman. I’m new to BTS like you (2019) I stumbled upon your channel while surfing for more BTS reactions. I enjoyed seeing people like me drawn to BTS after knowing more about BTS. My son makes fun of me because I sing and dance to their music . I would stay up all night just watching their videos. They make me laugh, smile and feel young again. They are my companion on lonely nights. My son is in college so I live alone. I’m glad that you like BTS and hope you can also become an Army to add to the already millions all over the world. Like my comments earlier, I stayed up all night waiting for your reactions. Can’t wait to see your other reactions to Spring Day. You’re in tears watching it and I’m tears watching you. You’re not like the others you do your research and not just jumping from One video to another. You want to get to know them so starting from their beginnings will help you in your BTS journey. I subscribed and I’ll follow your journey.

[@BugsOvrBTS]

NOW you know why ARMY will not let Spring Day fall off the charts. Don't Forget...that one saying. We won't forget

[@minawwhkim1865]

At that time BTS and Big hit ( now Hybe) were in the black list of the government cause they donated to the families of the victims that's why they used many references instead of represent the true story on the Music Video

[@ipurpleu1668]

They were more so blacklisted due to the song Am I Wrong, which most television networks were refusing to play or let them perform only certain parts of the song. That is what lead to the “black listing”. They donated in secret, so that wasn’t the reason.

[@pinkishfade8426]

this is why it will forever live in the charts rent free

[@Angelina-nh3bq]

Thank you for your reaction 💜 I’m crying with you again 😭

[@janan3489]

Ok, so first: Hi, I'm new to your channel and just catched up all your BTS related videos. I love your journey so far. I think you're one of the best examples of how people may think at first of BTS but get more attached to them as soon as they learn more about their songs and where they're coming from. Spring Day is one of the songs that always hits me. I don't know how many times I've already watched this explanation video but everytime I ended up crying all over again. Especially when you see it the first time it can be overwhelming. So pls take your time to process it. Looking forward to your reaction of the other explanation video. btw I love your shirt ;) Valar Morghulis and Borahae

[@pishop.ot7692]

After I learned about this these is no way I listen to this song and not cry but I love listening about it anyway

[@magicshopmumma2042]

I loved that you got emotional. BTS are often portrayed as just a boy band but they have substance as you can see with their music which they write themselves mainly. They are great ambassadors for the world to become a better place

[@61crispy]

I happened to be on holiday when this tragedy occurred. I remember at the time the turmoil, the lack of information and the sorrow. I was in Korea again 2 years later and I remember so vividly the parent of the children who lost their lives, demonstrating in the street, seeking justice, seeking answers for their loss. I remember standing on the side of a road watching these grieving parents carrying pictures of their children, walking in the freezing cold rain, sombrely walking up the Main Street, not loud like a western demonstration, but eerily quite. It is something that to this day stays with me and makes me cry. Watching this video, hearing this song, evokes those very vivid memories. I think you can understand why this song has stayed in the Korean charts since it’s release.

[@seec4856]

Thanks for reacting to the explanation video and even spending time to read up about the Sewol ferry tradedy. I really appreciate your sincerity. I cried along with you the whole time. There are a lot of reactors just did it for the views and didn't even bother to spend time to watch the explanations videos even ARMY suggested. Now I see you're starting to understand why BTS are so loved by so many people and they definitely not just a boy band. The lyrics of a lot of their songs and the meaning behind are profound and that really set them apart from others. Can't wait to see you react to the other explanations video and cry more with you.

[@priyanand5414]

This is why I love BTS so much as do so many other people. The amount of effort and hardwork and research they put into their work and music is beyond amazing.💜💛💜💛 Also I was crying the whole time too... Although I watched it many times before it's still so emotional.

[@lilyduck4538]

It's beautiful that you were so vulnerable, thank you for your courage

[@selipark7396]

Love your reaction! Thank you!

[@forevabangtan]

Thank you for your hard work. You are amazing and kind .

[@abejhyun]

Thanks a lot. Really appreciate your deep heartful reaction.

[@bluewolfdancer]

You've got yourself another subscriber. I watched several of your other BTS reactions and was keeping an interested eye on you ;) - there are so many clout chasers out there, but you seemed genuine - and these Spring Day reactions confirmed that. Thank you for your moving reaction

[@jerrihadding2534]

My tears fell with yours. God bless you for your honest emotional response.

[@itsamadness0325]

At first I wondered about you but then you deep dived into who BTS is, and now I'm genuinely thankful I decided to follow you thru your journey... which is still just starting and I'll keep being here for it. Well done. 👍

[@kobretti5328]

I’m such a mess now. I cried with you the entire time. This is so sad. I always have this tragedy in my memory. It’s impossible to forget. It’s a beautiful tribute. Thank you BTS 😭💜

[@inacialimadasilva7521]

The Little match girl is a moving short story! I have cried so much when i read it!

[@MM-et2jr]

Hans Christian Anderson 💜 (or as he is known in Denmark: H. C. Andersen).

[@socho6281]

Really appreciate your attention to detail and respect for what is essentially a heart-wrenching tragedy. And kudos to the boys for shedding light on the issue in such a multi-layered and poetic manner.

[@KimmyGibson]

Thank you for being one of the few reactors who has been willing to watch an explanation video!! I ask everyone to do it, WHENEVER one is available for ANY song, and am mostly just ignored....can you imagine not knowing now that you've watched? BTS's songwriting is genius, is it not? I believe they had to say there could be 'many theories' in order to avoid being held accountable for telling a story that was unacceptable to the government. The children who died had time to call their parents and videos exist of their plight...it is one part of Korean culture that, at my age, I can both appreciate, but also irks me...obey your elders no matter what. (Even formal language must be used when speaking to someone barely older than you). I love how they tied together SnowPiercer and Omelas in telling the Sewol story. I had to watch SnowPiercer after seeing this and it was a great, eye-opening, movie that is so relevant to society/politics today. Unfortunately, like Omelas, it too involves the abuse of children at the hands of the adults...I won't say more. But, I will say, that I often wonder about the hundreds of thousands of children that go missing every year, who takes them, and what happens to them. Remember how they used to be photos on milk cartons? IMHO, there is something very nefarious, beyond our ability to comprehend, that is going on throughout the world...whether it be human trafficking, sex trafficking, organ trafficking, or something even more evil. As a grandmother of 4, I beg parents to be aware of their children at all times. Again, khamsamnida. Borahae!

[@ma.anjelicachan3351]

Oh man hopefully you take your time with the Italian Army version because it breaks it down and multiple clips of the families break my heart to watch. Last year the families involved has remembered that during the time of the tragedy BTS donated to the victims families. The families has stated that they constantly support BTS because they know that the sincerity in there intentions. Up to this day Korean Charts Spring Day stay there not just cause of army but also of what it symbolizes .

[@amiii5292]

YES both videos 💜 Thank you! 🥺 I like the video of the italian army a little bit more, because of the real footage and her depth in research. She was even invited to South Korea because of her research on this topic.

[@Hotshortie]

Anytime I need to cry, I watch this video. The first time I saw it. I cried like a baby. Thank you for reacting to Spring Day Explained.

[@girlwithluv_and_ugh9975]

You might not see this comment. I just wanted to tell you that I’m glad you found BTS and dug deeper into who they are and why their music is so important to millions of people around the world.

[@sampras9216]

BTS with us for a good life, a good future for sure !! And really appreciate your sensible réactions and talking about your first time réactions with butter...🤣

[@dreamgloww6650]

i love how a song can move people, and can be interpreted in a lot of ways. thats art. thats BTS!

[@irmawatiagoesman2143]

This is the first time I watch someone crying bc of this explanation video.. watching you make me crying, again. I'm amazed. Spring Day & Just One Day together were songs that I listened from BTS for the first time in 2017. Those are very beautiful and become my fav songs of them until now. I don't know how you found BTS and why you decided to react to them, I hope you'll continue react to all BTS'songs; mv, performance, dance practice. Please start from their debute song, so you'll have the journey of BTS. Regards fr Indonesia 💜

[@madonnamontejo]

Yehey! Reaction to both! What a treat💜💜💜💜

[@ginouclint7845]

Im glad you are doing the italian army one too. When you do it please feel free to pause as many times as needed. The video is so fast paced

[@justme6774]

Thank you for this. Thank you particularly for taking the time to do your own research. Few reactors do this and it shows such a genuine interest. Its so heartbreaking. Devastating. The Italian Army video gives great context, background albeit with some footage which is hard to watch but necessary to really get an understanding. You may have watched it by now. Hope you're doing okay whenever you do see it and thanks for your thoughts. (Btw there are some beautiful live versions of it done in the last year as the song lent itself so well to the pandemic - tiny desk, youtube, iHeart radio awards to name a few).

[@beccal.5369]

You will love the symbolism in their film clips - they are the ultimate storytellers. Their story arcs are out of this world and traverse multiple songs and albums.

[@JustMe-oi9ms]

RM is literally a genius, IQ 148. The whole group are geniuses in their own rights, in my opinion. Even BigHit are exceptionally creative and open to their artistry and only support this awesomeness. In my opinion. They open the worlds eyes up to loving each other on this Earth as the brothers/sisters that we all are. 🙏🏼💜 Loved your reaction. I cried right along with you. No shame in having love & feeling loss for your fellow human beings.

[@slater3249]

"Spring Day" is still on the Korean music chart's it has never left scents the song was released on February 13, 2017. It hold the title for "longest charting song of all time" on Melon Top 100. It's been on there for around 225 week's as of June 2021.

[@Mindhunter64]

Watching a BTS MV is always an educational event. Like you, I watch and then it inspires me to dig deeper and educate myself on the subject. #YouNeverWalkAlone

[@psychokitty71]

Thank you for such a genuine reaction. The Italian Army video is already up and, to me, that one is even more heartbreaking than this one. This one focuses on the MV more than anything else. That one focuses on the actual tragedy and what happened. This one made me cry. That one made me sob uncontrollably and also made me angry. This is why we love BTS so much. Their music isn't just bubble-gum pop, unless they are truly aiming for that, like with Dynamite and Butter. Their music resonates with people and gives them strength and comfort. I'll say more after I watch the next video. Again, thank you for your genuine reaction. Most of us cried the first time we watched this, too and a lot of us still cry.
