RM 'Groin' Official MV *REACTION*

[@kyogotclaws]

The line about the monk is probably in reference to a monk who went to the press to disclose what RM had said to him in confidence during a visit to a temple just before he went to the military. The line about being a diplomat is probably also a reference to BTS' work as cultural ambassadors- they've spoken at both the UN and the White House. In South Korea idols are held to extremely high standards with regards to their behaviour - no smoking (agust D smoking in Haegum is a fuck you to this specifically) , no public dating, no drugs, not even a hint of anything illegal- can't help but feel like that's what he's referencing with the lines about not doing anything illegal. Overall you're right, the album was all about getting everything off his chest before he went into the army!

[@marinal.]

agree

[@butterbuttersbetter3689]

I think the line about the monk is also more direct. If someone is ‘no monk’ it means they’re sexually active, not removed from the temptations of the world like a monk.

[@ZariDV]

@@butterbuttersbetter3689 I think it's both. RM is a rapper through and through so double entendres and wordplay is his playground. He's no stranger to having multiple meanings to a single line or word.

[@boredkueen8784]

The duck line is funny but also very clever... If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck... Its a duck!! Rm sees right through all of them and their true intentions

[@marinal.]

yep yep

[@karlaarmas5746]

yes! also ducks walk in line, so it can also apply to people who mindlessly follows other's hateful opinions

[@raeavilez9936]

"You walk like a duck" is now armys' new favorite insult lol!

[@nellyhernandez6975]

Facts!

[@crunchinglifewithnokwazi6148]

And the "when i think i am im going to crash, i step on the gas" pays homage to Suga's song Nevermind where he says "Engrave it on your chest, when you think you will crash, just accelerate you idiot!" (Edit :If it's non factual I apologise but that's what I thought of when I heard the song, don't come for me😭💔)

[@lubnakhan2941]

They are actual 2 different phrases with 2 different meanings. You should check the actual korean wordings first

[@gacherikinoti7754]

Thankyou for clarifying.I'm tired of people thinking that​@@lubnakhan2941

[@airyfairy2396]

@lubnakhan2941 the Korean words are similar. As a korean who can fully understand the Koreans lylic, RM did indeed borrow those lyrics from 'Nevermind'. I really like their musical interaction.

[@Pshakess]

It’s sweet after Yoongi used Namjoon’s lyrics from Do You “freedom and self-indulgence, they're clearly different”. It’s nice that Yoongi paid homage to Namjoon’s lyrics 💜

[@mono-mq2ph]

😒😒😒

[@ferpalomarb]

8:42 funny you should say that, when RM was talking about this album, he said that if he tried to keep on caring about what people thought of him, he might die. Groin is my favourite out of the album but I totally get how it might not be everyone's cup of tea. Always appreciate your sincerity 💜

[@Mikrokosmos99]

I don't care that I'm in the middle of the street. Im watching 😭

[@marinal.]

geez 0.0

[@histfictfan4460]

Domodachi is the one you were thinking of. Around the World in a Day ft. Moses Sumney doesn't have a video but it is, IMO, the most sonically satisfying song on the album.

[@minibluebird9]

agreed !

[@marinal.]

but it has a video though Domodachi. 0.o

[@quichajones5660]

Yaaaasss! I like that - most sonically satisfying. It is for me too.💜

[@valm5892]

Dude this song (around the world in a day) blew my damn mind first time I heard it. I was in the car, windows down, in the mountains, alone, chilling. Mouth dropped wide open surprised over and over again throughout the whole song. Man I'd love to experience hearing it for the first time in that way again

[@lesliejackson9891]

Love his version of if "it walks like a duck, talks like a duck and looks like a duck, it's a duck". Get your azzz out thee trunk is saying quit ridding my coat tails.

[@shuga75]

I think this whole album was a form of therapy for RM. He talks about it in the MMM (album exchange chat with Jimin) vid on BangtanTV. The original plan was for RM to enter the military after the release of his previous album Indigo, but there was too much inside him that he felt was unsaid that he needed to get out. Discussion was really great insight into the creation of this project.

[@marinal.]

yep. he was supposed to have gone in with Jhope. Instead Jhope entered alone.

[@a.murillomelgar]

MMM (MiniMoniMusic) is definitely an essential watch if someone wants to understand the mindset behind RPWP, and the role RM wants to play as BTS’ leader going forward.

[@Deepika609]

He has 6 mvs 1. Lost 2. Come back to me 3. Nuts (live vid) 4. Groin 5. Domodachi 6. ㅠㅠ (Credit Roll)

[@marinal.]

5 MVs and one video

[@crunchinglifewithnokwazi6148]

With the monk verse...He was shading the monk he went to who spoke ill about him to k media that why said they said things misconstrued😂Shady and petty af

[@lubnakhan2941]

Nothing was misconstrued but he talked abt what he talked with RM. And that was seriously immoral of him. They wanted to know what he thought of millitary enlistment but RM didn't say anything they could use against him. Thats all

[@yeizzycastro6303]

Cuando hasta un monje te puede traicionar por avaricia. El mundo es una porquería. Dilo más fuerte RM!

[@crunchinglifewithnokwazi6148]

@lubnakhan2941 that's why RM said they got him misconstrued , he was described as something he's not

[@IntotheBangtanUniverseWormhole]

I don't know whether monks can be defrocked like priests can, but that loose-lipped "holy man" should receive some kind of discipline from his order.

[@karensuazo-ti5pz]

BBANGSAN is from a Korean Meme where An old Korean lady in the 90’s (ajumma) claimed that she could speak with Aliens..that could translate into gibberish . Yes Nuts for me is one of the best songs of his album….I’m still listening to it and give me chills each time..I’ll wait for the next reaction without putting you expectations…

[@live_julie]

It's like he will speak gibberish if he doesn't like somebody?) That RM wanted to say in song?

[@leeswhimsy]

RM stated that he said "everything he wanted to say" on this album...got it all out. "Groin" IS the body part, but he also said he pulled all of his emotions from that place deep deep inside (the groin area) for these songs. He also said he didn't want people to feel too comfy when listening to this album...wanted them to feel like they are on a rollercoaster.

[@corgisrule21]

It would be good for you to watch the video of him and Jimin discussing this album and why he made it. He really just did what he wanted to with this one 😅💜

[@sanres2100]

About the reference to a monk, it’s because he visited a temple and had a long conversation with a monk, and after the monk gave the information to a media. It was the time people in South Korea were debating if BTS should or should not receive an exemption of military service and it was one of the topics the monk talk about

[@maryjace]

It’s Domodachi you’re talking about. Although RM is not in the MV, it is cinematic and cool. Simz’s part just made the song perfect.

[@juliabarbieri7835]

Domodachi Lost Comeback to me Credit roll

[@ComingCurse86]

The line "when I think I'm gonna crash, that's when I step on the gas" is inspired by a BTS song called Intro: Nevermind written by SUGA "if you feel like you're gonna crash then accelerate more". This song means so much to BTS members that another line "nevermind, it's not easy but engrave it onto your chest " was so inspiring to Jimin that he actually tattooed "nevermind " on his chest.

[@cboz6137]

Thank you for mentioning. I intended to about Yoongi's line just for clarification, but forgot by the time I posted. LOL. 💜

[@marinal.]

You're going to love Domodachi. That said my favorite track on the album is Around the World in a Day (feat. Moses Sumney) and it doesn't even have a video so make sure to check it out

[@asn4481]

RM is the best when it comes to rapping and lyrics 🔥🔥🔥

[@Cherry-sw4be]

I pray that whatever you going through you get ease of that really soon. Hang in there man really love your channel

[@merlijne613]

my favourite mv is probably lost! but i love the other two (come back to me and domodachi) a lot as well! also the beginning of groin is a really nice transition from the previous song ('? (interlude)') to groin, can't wait to hear what you think of the entire album top to bottom! the storytelling and transitions are crazy good!

[@Losbities-hx1ut]

RM is incredible, we never know what he is going to give us with his music, he is obviously a genius at what he does and creates, so we are so grateful Nam…. Game boy, thank you for your reactions, we hope for more.. 💜

[@mr-qm6qd]

This is one time where I feel like listening the album from start to finish before watching the MVs improves the experience and adds to understanding the artistic message of RM. Groin and Around the World are my faves on the album because of how he strategically placed it on the album. I hope you enjoy it! Glad you’re back!

[@IThink2Much]

In the very beginning of the mv, if you turn it upside down, it makes more sense. It does look like it's in a stairwell, but it's the ceiling.

[@dopaminish2099]

The entire album as a whole is so so good. I listening to it all the time, it’s like a brain massage 😅.

[@kaysmith5356]

Welcome back!!! We've missed you so much!!!! Your reactions are AWESOME! 💜

i agree with you as for the listening experience goes i like nuts better but as an army i really love groin bc after all these years of shit just glad rm going off on the lyrics

[@sunsetsnpurple7008]

You just get it 🥹 you get what RM means in his songs 💯

[@stormkive4356]

the line of "when i think im gonna crash i accelerate" is actually a reference to old lyrics by yoongi! theyre from the bts song intro:nevermind, which also inspired jimin to get a "nevermind" tattoo on his chest

[@andreiareia1212]

Do you know how many times I watched again and again your older reactions? 😅😍 Really missed your reactions! Happy to see you are healthy 😇💌 Maybe some jazz from V . He also dropped a lot of songs and you didn't digg in V's music. He has Tiny desk concert, singing live 🥰 As far as I know You love music, please check some V. Thank you!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@andreaebeling6320]

You should watch MMM Mini & Moni music .You will get a better understanding of what he was saying and feeling over the last year or so.The song you’re thinking of is called Domodachi.

[@quichajones5660]

I also feel like the FESTA 2023 dinner video gives additional insight into RM's feelings and mindset.

[@episophie]

Please react to RM's LOST next!

[@hanaagovic-cc7wq]

RM really played with a lot of melodies in this album. The whole album is a masterpiece as a whole and It's not really meant to be a mainstream music. RM was really raw and real with lyrisc(usually the topics about smoking aren't mentioned and It's kind of a big deal in Korea). The album is art as expected of RM so you always need to deep dive into his lyrisc.

[@nikki4noo]

The street this was filmed on in London is a well known street for a lot of the YT english rappers. It's been a staple of them recording on it, so I giggled when I saw some of them realising he also filmed there.

[@apobangpoxforever06137]

his lyric always have some deep or double meaning , and story behind it , he is really thougtfull , u were right , he get off everything from his chest by this album before he would go to the army , i hope you'll check lost! tooo , realy rare mv with rare instrumentals and lyrics , the one u were talking about was domodachi , i really love your reactions , when u not only listen but analize too, we hope we'll get more reactions , thank u .

[@christilou924]

You've absolutely got to cover Domodatchi. The chokehold that song has on me as a hip-hop lover is insanity.

[@swatiramani8674]

So excited to see more of your reactions to other songs from rm's new album! Btw you should react to these 2 other members too V and Jin. You haven't reacted to their solos. V has a full album, Jin doesn't have one right now but now that he is back from military( a mandatory military enlistment every man has to do in Korea) he is preparing for it. But he does have some solo songs from the group's albums and more. His songs are- Tonight, Abyss, The Astronaut (Coldplay and him worked on it together), Awake, Moon, Epiphany. Now for V his album's name is Layover and the songs are- Rainy days, Blue, Love me again, Slow dancing, For us and slow dancing(piano ver.) More of his songs are- Fri(end)s, Stigma, Singularity, Inner child, Sweet night, Christmas tree (these two are an ost for k dramas) Winter bear, Scenery and Snow flower.

[@nicolitae]

come back to me! its different to what he has done before. It reminded me to the alternative genre i was obsessed with when i was a teenager. You are spoiling us with RM RPWP content!!!!! im so happy!!!! thank you for doing this!

[@valm5892]

This album gets better and better with every listen 💜

[@rozaliyah]

Love your genuine reactions and insights!! Thanks so much for this!! Definitely getting it off his chest in this one and having fun being himself🤗 'Domodachi' feat. Little Simz is the one you're talking about Love that you're checking out the MVs first then going through album👏🙌

[@vnss_wav]

Bro your line about RM being an obvious fan of 80’s and 90’s, ‘you can tell with the BOOM BAP’ lol - you’re so right man, that’s what got me into BTS, I could tell these dudes (and their producers!) love and respect that good old skool shit

[@lisazj1]

What I always appreciate is your honest reactions. ✌🏻 So maybe while not your fave, I like that you got the flavor and feel for what Namjoon was doing. And I agree, I think this whole album was him doing what he wanted to do for him. He maybe hoped we’d vibe with it too, but mainly for himself. And he does look like he’s having fun, every single video! 💜

[@MeL_LcoolJ]

Twice in a week! We are blessed 😇 Glad to have you back, I've comfort watched honestly literally all of your vids at this point and it was nice to hear you say in your nuts reaction that you found comfort in us too - it's most definitely mutual! As an aside this is one of my faves off the album, it's not as deep as some of his other stuff it's just a fun and light little song and I like seeing him be able to do this as part of the larger rpwp project. Also he's in my hometown and dressed like me in the MV (and lip syncing absolutely awfully) so maybe I'm biased hah

[@Kodamakitty]

I love the shade thrown with the monk reference, but I also think it applies to the expectation that an idol should remain chaste and pure like a monk. RM has an innate sensuality that he doesn't often get to express as the leader or even as rap line. These solo albums are so crucial not just for RM and the other members, but for the fans to see them as more than just idols.

I don’t know if it’s been said in the comments anywhere but I like the lines “get your out the trunk”. I saw another interpretation of it as a way of saying don’t try to get a free ride off the legacy RM/BTS has created. Knowing what’s going on at Hybe at the moment (even though this was written a year ago) and the constant talk of “the Next BTS” makes the people wanting a free ride of their name idea hold up.
