THE SYMBOLISM IS CRAZY!! BTS (방탄소년단) 'Black Swan' Official MV | REACTION (unedited)

[@MissSmartypants555]

This about an artists "first death" ...the moment when they lose their passion for their art.

[@swainmoneyy]

Thank you for that! I've never heard of the "first death" but thats very interesting

Martha Graham's Quote "A dancer dies twice - once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful." Basically, Black Swan is about what any person who lives for making art faces: losing the passion for creating. Much like a dancer feels purposeless when they can no longer express themselves through dance, BTS contends that the day that music no longer fills them with the same passionate fire as before, or even if there came a day when they stopped creating music - what they feel is their life's purpose - it would feel like death. Leader RM sings, "If this can no longer resonate / No longer make my heart vibrate / Then this may be how I die my first death."

Along with everyone's else comments with it being about losing passion for the arts- they shot their mv in a theatre on a stage where performers dance etc. Beautiful location! And their dance moves mimic the black swan. Really gorgeous!

This song is aboutl an artist losing their passion. It's based on Martha Graham quote (which I'll paraphrase as I don't remember it word for word). An artist dies twice and the first death is the hardest. Hope that helps.

BTS frequently fades to black right before the final scene...so be careful about stopping the video too soon because you know how we ARMY can be about those things...lol.

I’m glad you reposted this with audio! Much better! 💜

Definition you read of black swan was insightful, like the fable. Several reactors picked up on the Portman film or the Dietrich film

[@andrikalombard7672]

As always thanks again for this reaction . I genuinly enjoy all your reaction as it's always respectful and enjoyable.

[@swainmoneyy]

I appreciate that! Thanks for the comment

Watch Suga's: Interlude "Shadow" These are all "Map of the Soul" songs about the human experience.

[@MuddaFuffa]

Jimin was the first shadow dancing behind Suga. JHope is the shadow dancing behind RM. 💜💜💜

[@RachelinAK]

Watch the making of Black Swan.

[@judyburgess3357]

Some of the shadow dancing was Jimin, and some was Jhope. Black Swan was a film about a ballet based on a fairy tale.

I owe you an apology. Thank you so much for going with the sound. Thank you, thank you! 💜💜💜
