Raw Reaction to BTS 'We Are Bulletproof : the Eternal' MV

[@NanChirayukool]

If I want to witness what true love looks like, I watch this MV

[@WhatchaGot2Say]

Facts have been spoken here ☝🏽🤓💜💜💜

[@nataliepham9042]

Yes, love is about treasuring each and every moment together, sadness and happiness, being each other’s source of strength, helping each other overcome their obstacles, and supporting one another. Love is not to fail the other half. It’s the endless trust and faith that we have for each other.

[@doreenityplays5732]

Yesss 💜 BTS is ARMY's true love and vice versa 🥺

[@hannahlee3496]

Well spoken!!!!!

[@platinumtreasure]

It's the 52 Hertz Whale. Its call is at such a unique octave that it can only be heard by it's own kind. Which is why its referred to as "the loneliest whale ". So to me in this the whale symbolizes when they felt alone but then realized ARMY had the same octave and voice they have. So they aren't lonely whales anymore because ARMY can hear them loud and clear hence they aren't alone anymore.

[@daleladell803]

The part that hit me the hardest was the black wave. I'm surprised no one has mentioned that. The black wave (black ocean) refers to when they were new and the other fandoms got together and when BTS performed, everyone in the audience turned out their light sticks, no one cheered, it was quiet. What a heartbreaking insult. It affected them deeply and made them doubt themselves until Army showed up and ever since have out cheered everyone and turned every performance they've done, no matter where, into a BTS love fest with army bombs and cheering and fanchants creating a purple wave to carry them to the top. The boys love it. They've come so far. And Army makes sure to always cheer on every other group because it makes BTS happy to see their fans be respectful of others efforts.

[@Shaz-qv2tw]

Yes I heard that it happened in 2014. It was so heartbreaking to hear 😢

[@khillattkrungkrung7992]

I think that was in 2016- MMA awards?... But now I think those people are now ARMY'S.... But all those hardships made our boys even stronger.... But remembering that is really heart breaking...

[@AP-qd9dq]

And yet bts takes pride of armys who are cheering for another artists in award shows (seokjin said it himself) and he is so proud of armys whenever they do that. You see how it scarred them and knowing the feelings, they don't want it to happen to any other artist. This is why bts is so blessed and they get to where they are now because they remained grounded and humble. This is one of the million reasons on why armys are so protective of bts :--((

[@seoulseokjin]

That damn black ocean. We never forget!

[@ashimaguru]

wow! i had no idea about this incident ! Im glad I read the comment section.

[@jade839]

The black ocean, Yoongi's arm/shoulder, going through different eras (No More Dream, NO, Danger, BST, Young Forever, Not Today, Spring Day etc.) the Army logo turning into the BTS logo, the lonely whale, the stage, ugh it's a freakin' whirlwind of emotions!! These men went through so much. The fact that they ended with Boy With Luv hits so deep! They could've added 'ON' and Black Swan, but they didn't get to physically experience this era with us, no concerts, fan meetings or anything like that, so even though those songs are amazing and meaningful maybe it wasn't as special because it wasn't with us! They love us so much! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜😭

[@faniemin2925]

😢

[@WhatchaGot2Say]

Simply incredible 💜💜💜

[@tarastrong4798]

Absolutely I couldn't agree more bc they themselves as you know HV been affected in their own ways with crazy events of this year n even if they didn't tell us you could see it in each of them n they love performing for us at the concerts bc it's intimate n a festa with all us that can't be right there with them all time but we are😂🤣💜OT7 And did you see when they were talking about the other album coming together n song inspirations n ideas concepts for it touch on the time they had to reflect n also deeper our Jimin-shi wanting make sure Ami knew they were effected n emotional in this time as well and My precious Yoongi talking about the letter fell out the book the fan had gave him 😩😘again this why I Stan these adorable precious Kings

[@Mochi-dn7yl]

Wait I feel like I know but I forgot but what’s the black ocean and what’s with Yoongs arm??

[@forg_tful.]

@@Mochi-dn7yl the black ocean was during melon music awards 2016 and what happened was that certain other fandoms (mostly exo-ls) turned off their lightsticks on purpose so bts had a dark crowd (a black ocean) while performing which is really, really disrespectful. (ironically though, bts won their first daesang at that exact show so, karma). by yoongi's arm she means yoongi's pre-debut accident where a car hit him and he permanently damaged his shoulder but never told anyone at bighit or the members in fear of getting kicked from the team. edit: i just checked and exo-ls gave the black ocean to bts at golden disc awards 2016 too... .... ...

[@ev6674]

The Whale is from "Whalien 52" is on my favorites BTS songs. 😘💜

[@rachelp.6594]

I totally agree! Whalien 52 and Kore is very meaningful. I recommend listening to it!

[@meliamay5497]

Well it can also mean that it's army helping them fly and how army made them fly

[@nataliepham9042]

Here I’m gonna try to list all the references in this MV in order. ARMY can fill me in if i miss anything. 0:14 The first scene, their old practice room. Go back and rewatch their old dance practice (BOY IN LUV, DANGER, etc.). Here RM wearing BOY WITH LOVE outfit (the present him) is visiting the old place and looking at his old self (NO MORE DREAM outfit) in the mirror. Now we start reminiscing our journey from the very beginning chronologically :)) 0:24 NO MORE DREAM is their debut song (the bus, the whole setting). That’s 15-year-old Jungkook. 0:36 WE ARE BULLETPROOF PT.2 - V with blond hair and glasses. Btw, he throwing those glasses was what he did in NO MORE DREAM. 0:51 N.O - Jhope raps “Don’t wanna die.” 0:59 BOY IN LUV - Jin 1:10 DANGER - Jimin 1:21 Someone has to help me explain the scary black thing behind Jin. I wasn’t ARMY there so I don’t know what happened to them. It can be shadows or darkness that swallow them. 1:23 Shattered mirror might represents hardships, dangers, and unfortunate things that happened. RM has been always associated with cracked mirror, even in his song REFLECTION. 1:26 Suga (outfit from I NEED YOU) with injured left shoulder/arm. When he was a trainee, he used to work part-time as a deliverer because he was poor and his parents didn’t support him as he pursued music career. 1:28 V is running, the ground collapsing. Not sure if it refers to any specific event. Let’s just call it hardship. 1:30 Jungkook is chased by the black ocean. You guys can look it up on google “BTS Black Ocean” to understand more. It’s basically fans from different fandoms together planned to turn off their light sticks during BTS performance at MMA and GDA 2016 to show dissatisfaction. To me it’s such a ridiculous thing to do🤷🏻‍♀️it’s also too cruel for the artists on stage. 😞 1:33 Not so sure what that red painting represents, but I would say it’s about the the dead threads that they received. Jhope previously raps “Don’t wanna die.” He runs and gets trapped in the box, struggling to get out of it. The box can be certain images or conceptions that people try to impose on them, take away their freedom, and make it hard for them to freely express their true selves. 1:44 RM falls into the ocean along with broken pieces of glass. Following is Suga standing up after falling. He keeps walking ahead. The glasses keep coming at him and he falls again. There’s “bulletproof” written on it, this may represent them starting to doubt whether they are actually bulletproof. You know how we sometimes doubted ourselves when we encountered hardships. 2:04 Purple lights (ARMY) help RM rise up from the deep sea. ARMY give him the courage to get back up to the surface again, not drowning anymore. As soon as the lyrics “Did the long winter really give way to spring?” hits in, RM goes up to the surface. Then we see “Bulletproof” written in complete without being broken. Now RM is back ~~~Next up is Suga. And finally darkness disappears. The whole scene is full of purple with flower pedals. If you pay closer attention, you will notice that the first half of the MV, all BTS members were alone by themselves. “We were only seven, but we have you all now” transitions to YOUNG FOREVER where the members come together for the rest of the MV. How sweet is that! 🥺 2:21 YOUNG FOREVER - RM with the rest of BTS. “Holding each other’s hands.” ~~~ 2:33 I NEED YOU 2:37 RUN 2:43 BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS 2:49 NOT TODAY 2:56 SPRING DAY but remember it’s still winter. 3:04 We saw BTS sitting around the bonfire 🔥 very frequently in music videos and bon voyage series. 3:08 RM with cute hat 3:09 V leans on Jimin’s shoulder 3:11 Our favorite duo SOPE (Suga-blond hair, JHope-red hair) 3:12 Jin and Jungkook 3:15 Kookie touches the purple light (ARMY). I practically had a hard time to control my emotion here. 🥺 From one single ARMY to many many ARMYs. 3:19 The whale holds so much meaning with BTS. Kore is RM’s favorite animal. Listen to their song WHALIEN 52. It’s one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. The title is a combination of “whale” and “alien”. The whale is alien because it’s an individual of unidentified species which calls at the very unusual frequency of 52 hertz. This pitch is a much higher frequency than that of the other whale species. It can’t be heard by other whales. Therefore, it’s the loneliest whale in the world. But the whale kept on calling until it was heard. BTS came from a small company. Despite all the hardships, they kept singing and calling through their music until they were heard by millions of fans. Or you know although they’re famous, they still feel like no one really understand how they feel or what difficulties they’ve been through, like no other whales can hear or know the Whalien’s crying. 3:35 BTS rise up on a bigger stage, surrounded by million ARMYs. It’s also a reference from WINGS TOUR THE FINAL when the boys performed Born Singer. They’re wearing the exact same outfits. (God, I loveee that performance, never get over it > BTS 4:11 BOY WITH LOVE 💗 Finally the spring that they’ve been waiting for came. 😭They ended here and didn’t include “map of the soul 7” probably because you know, they couldn’t go on tour and spend time with ARMY really. So it wasn’t as meaningful. The whole journey in this MV is basically the time when we’re actually together. If things didn’t go wrong, I bet this MV would turn out differently and wound include MOTS7. 😭 Anyway, thank you for your reaction! I hope you guys stay healthy and be safe!!! I purple you and your family 💜

[@toyafefe1]

The millions of army;s after the whalw was their first time performing at webley. Thank you so much for all the detail and explaination. Great Great Job!!

[@BotWT]

3:55 I think of this as how BTS sees ARMY. They are standing on stage looking out at the crowd and see thousands upon thousands of Army Bombs. Others also see it as ARMY being their wings. I think either way it's beautiful.

[@hunnitbae]

It was Hobi for N.O. 💜

That’s an interesting observation: “The drowning and the broken glass; seven years of bad luck.” Ironically, the number seven symbolizes many things to BTS. I’m not going to list them all, cause Army would know what I’m talking about.

[@victorialopezchavarria5818]

The whale is from the song whalien 52 where they refer to a whale that has no the same vocal range as the others so it's a lonely whale that the other ones can't hear

[@michellecolin47]

the whale is a reference to their song "whalien 52" from their most beautiful moment in life pt.2 album. is a song about feeling misunderstood and invisible to the rest of the world. you should check the lyrics and the live performance, it's really emotional!! great reaction as always, guys. are you going to watch the rest of festa's content?💕

[@k7rby-OT7]

Namjoon once said that he felt like that whale and no one could hear him. Jin told him he needed to speak up more about his feelings. He did this song bc he wants Army to know that they are never alone even if they feel no one can hear them. It’s the reason I LOVE him so much. This is one of my fav songs too. Plus the the whale from the VCR during Reflections.

[@WhatchaGot2Say]

We definitely will. What’s the best performance video to watch? And yes we will be reacting to a few more vids for FESTA 🤓

[@csichic11]

I'm glad someone else saw Heartbeat!!!!!!!!

[@0oHikari44o0]

Im gonna try to summarize for you to better understand 💜 1:39 Thats the practice room they used to record their dance practice videos 1:48 RM with a little wink to the Fake Love MV 1:51 JK in No More Dream MV 2:03 V in We Are Bulletproof Pt 2 MV (they even included when V gets “shot” and throw his glasses from the MV) 2:17 JHope in N.O. MV 2:28 Jin in Boy In Luv MV/Era 2:37 Jimin in Danger MV Now from 2:41 to 3:10 they represented the struggles and fears they had since the beggining, but there are two points I would like to mention: At 2:56 it shows a black wave attacking JK. I read online that in their early years, the audience would turn off their lightsticks when they perform to show their rejection and hate to them. That was called the Black Wave. Thats why now we have the Purple Ocean 💜 At 3:03 it shows one of the members (I think its Jhope) being trapped in some sort of a box. This represents when people tried to label them in one genre, and told them they wouldnt succeed for being from a small agency. 3:10 Run MV (This is RM, but in the MV is V who falls into the water) 3:23 Run MV (When SUGA fights with JK and breaks the mirror) Also, a representation of the depression he experienced throughout the first 3 years 3:31 A representation of ARMY as the purple hearts, helping them to get through their difficult times 3:40 I Need U MV (In the MV there were only 6 petals + Jin, but now there are lots of petals, as they say We were only seven but we have you all now) 3:46 Forever Young MV + their intro to Boy With Luv at the Speak Yourself Tour (The way they walk its the same as in their concert, popping up in the camera) 3:59 I Need U MV (There 2 MVs but they walk in these escene) 4:02 I Need U MV (The official MV, not the Original Version) 4:05 Run MV (They even put V making the ❌ on the car) 4:10 Blood, Sweat, and Tears MV 4:16 Not Today MV 4:24 Spring Day MV with them making a bonfire like in their Prologue MV Now the whale 💜 4:44 The whale represents Whalien 52, one of their songs. The song’s about a real life’s lonely whale found with no family in 1992. That whale was special because it sings at a frequency of 52 Hertz when a regular whale does it at 15-25 Hertz. So this whale sings without getting a response, tho the song Whalien 52 says it will be heard someday. Thats why in 4:49 when it say We Are Forever Bulletproof its written with the stars (for the “alien” part) 5:03 So this lonely whale becomes ARMY in a concert, which means BTS (whale)’s song was finally heard by a gigantic audience 5:07 This is BTS at the Wings Tour The Final, performing Born Singer (they even have the same clothes) Lets get soft 💜 5:20 During their last words at the Wings Tour The Final, I believe it was Jhope who started speaking but he broke in tears, making the rest of BTS cry in the stage. The member in the middle crying with the red hair is Jhope. 5:26 ARMY logo that transforms into the BTS logo, which I believe they represent doors. A path from the stage suddenly appears, so they can walk through the doors, where they become... 5:44 a Boy With Luv. I guess that wasn’t short, but I hope this helps. Im a new ARMY too, probably a couple of months older than you guys, but we are part of this journey with them 💜

[@SayuriJunie]

It’s an emotional 7 years... 7 years of hard work, tears, and joy 😭💜. The whale is representing ARMY and from whalien 52

[@BeautifulWords5]

just realized the boys are all by themselves in the first part of the video 😭😭😭 wow @ the drama and contrast with the latter part of the video

[@vmkoya4080]

Automatically my favorite MV. There is so much to say about this MV. 1: this is why they have soo many fans. They appreciate and love their fans. 2: As famous as they have become, they are still very humble and they don't let the fame get to their heads. 3: I love how RM started and how his character is the main character throughout the video. Being the leader of the group during the hardest times he was able to keep the group together. There was a point when J-Hope almost left and RM was able to get him to stay. I can't imagine how stressed out RM must have been during their hardest trials. 3: love the way they put in the other MV looking back. 4: the lyrics are just amazing! Love these 7 men and all their accomplishments. They are really amazing and full of love. Congrats to them and they are only going to keep going up. 💜💜💜💜

[@angelicaalvarez9696]

Little thing I noticed that really pulled my heartstrings: The ARMY logo (symbolizing a shield) shifts to reveal the BTS logo (a door). The boys run through that door and they transform from their past selves (Born Singer) into their present selves (Boy with Luv). They got to where they are now through ARMY. BTS paved the way for many artists, but ARMY paved the way for BTS. 💜💜💜

[@amclara]

Yesss 😭

[@jendelly]

I cried waterfalls when it got to that part when I watched it last night. I’m still tearing up. Omg. 💜

[@nicolesoriano3247]

The part where they are together and crying, the item that J-Hope is holding is supposedly the MAMA awards they've won for artist of the year. Some say it's probably a reference to MAMA 2018 because of their speech. Also, the outfits they are wearing at the end, are outfits from their Wings Tour Final in Seoul. If you find videos from those shows, such as performances and especially their speeches, you'll understand why it was referenced in the MV. Another reference I've seen from others is that the black ocean or black wave at 2:56, represents the "black ocean" if you Google 'black ocean BTS' you'll understand as well, it's probably one of the most awful things I've ever seen. All in all, all three of you MUST go to a MOTS concert, it'll change your life

[@Carolins.Tarotecke]

The reason why we're still walking with them is simple. They appreciate us as much as we appreciate them. They help us ARMY through the dark times as much as we help them. It's a sympiosis. And ARMY is crowing every day 😊. Every time I watch this video, it goes straight to the heart and tears of joy and appreciation are falling. These guys are simply amazing. Change is coming and it's name is BTS.

[@beyondthescene0613]

Happy 1 year ARMYversary guys. This mv is so beautifully sentimental. My favorite part is when they are riding on the whale up to the stage. This is a reference to their song whalien 52, where a certain whale's frequency is so high and unique, that no other whales can hear it resulting in it being lonely. BTS adapted this when they weren't as well known their voices couldn't be heard and people refused to listen. But because of ARMY and of course the members' hardwork/dedication, they have reached new heights and millions of people to tell their story. And the fact that we have 7 more years with them is truly a blessing considering they almost gave up when it got too hard for them. I'm glad you guys are on this journey with us and these 7 musical legends. I purple you.

[@cityofmon]

They're not running from their fears or struggles, they're running through those fears and struggles, together.

[@cjml_xx]

This whole MV just tells their whole story that's why eventhough it's animated, you can't help but to cry hard. The reference of Spring Day is that when BTS thought that that's their highest point in being artist not knowing that they can get higher so much more. And the purplr bubble turning into the whale, represents how BTS said that through ARMYS they have climb up higher and higher. the whale is one of BTS's masterpiece, "Whailen 52" the lonliest creature in the world that represents them, in their early days, people doesn't want to hear them out and hates them so much but now, that Whale is now heard not just by their country but in the whole world.

1:46 that's Joon in their old dance practice studio, and remember his song Reflection, it's a callback to that. 1:51 that's JK at the No More Dream set. 2:04 that's Tae at the We Are Bulletproof pt2 set and his glasses flew off like in the choreo for NMD. 2:20 that's Hobi at the N.O. set. 2:29 that's Jin at the Boy in Luv set. 2:37 that's Jimin at the Danger set. 2:52 that's Yoon but he's not in a particular set, his clothes though are from the live performance of I Need You. 9:09 they experienced so much oppression but that black ocean is one of the worst things kpopies did to them at MAMA 2016. 9:49 I saw a lot of reactors confused by the box but it was like how people were trying to put them in a box and control them saying you have to be a certain way to be accepted. 10:00 aside from feelings of drowning, it's a callback to Tae when he jumped in the water. 10:50 first time I burst into tears is seeing young Yoongi with the broken shoulder and arm, like what happened to him before. 11:05 notice the purple lights, that's Army slowly helping him surface and stand proud. I'm getting chills man. 11:36 they recreated the intro walk the boys do in the last Speak Yourself concert series before they do Boy With Luv, the set is Young Forever. 12:26 they start to run through their MV sets: I Need You, Run, Blood Sweat and Tears, Not Today and ends up at Spring Day. 12:56 around the fire L-R is Joon, Jimin, Tae, Yoon, Hobi, Jin, JK. 13:23 another thing about the whale is they're saying the whale is Army who lifted them up. News the other day said the whale FINALLY found a mate so it's not the loneliest whale anymore, just like how BTS and Army have each other. 13:34 that's the callback to Born Singer when they did it at the Wings Final. 14:10 that's the callback to MAMA 2018 when they cried at receiving AOTY and Hobi was in the middle, it even has the exact same moment Jin passed a tissue to Yoon. 14:51 running theory is they stopped at BWL because for On era, Army was not there due to the pandemic. From L-R Joon, Jimin, JK, Yoon, Hobi, Jin, Tae. Note: omg this is such a long comment sorry Nico. I'm all choked up while writing this. What a beautiful MV. Happy Festa!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@bangtanmates]

SORRY, ENGLISH ISN'T MY FIRST LANGUAGE!! 2:56 In kpop there is a term called "Black Ocean". The audience turns off their lightstics in order to say that they don't like the artist/presentation. In 2016 bts performed at an awards ceremony and fans from other groups in the audience turned off the lightstics, as they did not accept that a group from a small company was gaining fame. At the time there were not so many armys in the audience, but they sang loudly to show the boys that they were there supporting them. It happened other times. It's sad that they remember that situation...

[@WhatchaGot2Say]

it happened during GDA and MMAs 2016, it's horrible to watch but what's more sad and hurtful is how ARMYS are loudly fanchanting in order to make BTS feel that there are still ARMYS in the crowd

[@bluewolfsilver]

You’re English is very good. Slight punctuation errors, but it’s nothing major because English speakers make them all the time. So, you fit right in 😂

[@nataliepham9042]

I hope I was there with them. I would scream on top of my lungs as loud as I could so they could hear me. Unfortunately, I wasn’t even into kpop that much, didn’t hear their name at all, and I was only focusing on my study as I was busy studying for the national exam.

[@jimjimcherie]

When they are at the stage in the end, standing in a circle? It's recreating the scene from The Wings Tour the Final in Korea where they sung Born Singer again. The song in itself gets me hella emotional, but the first three times I watched the MV I cried my eyes out. I hope you can react to their FESTA 2020 Birthday Party! It's long, 56 minutes long, but I hope you can react to it, I would love to see it.

[@raghadebdah9137]

I've been an army since 2016 I cried so hard when I watched the video, it's been four years since I knew and loved them Thank you bts for making my life better and remember, army. Let's support our seven boys and love them 💜💜😍

[@babyc3482]

That scene when they are on the stage with the sea of army bombs is one of my favorite memories. It is the end of the wings tour and they are singing born singer it just takes my breath away.

I’ve been with BTS since they debuted and this song and MV made me cry big, fat, ugly tears, no joke. It gives me such sad but happy vibes....it just hits me so damn hard....I don’t even know how to put it into words...it also makes me swell with so much damn pride

Did you realize that the broken mirror that’s underwater drown with rm was the same mirror he steps into up to the top of the water? Realizing that all of the struggles, issues, hates and threats that were thrown into them, they use all those to live again and reach the top. I’ve watched this video over and over again but still makes me cry 😭😭💜💜 we don’t deserve these boys.

The whale in the song Whalien 52 is the 52 Hertz Whale. Its sound is so unique it can only be heard by it's own kind which is why its called "the loneliest whale" .

[@antoinettefinner3488]

This song made me emotional the first time I heard it. But hearing it now in THIS time... makes me even more emotional. Nico I thought I was the only one that felt that connection with this song and the state of the world today. For all my short time in this life I felt like we as a people couldn't be heard when we screamed out and that we were fighting this battle alone. Now to see so many others join us, letting us know that they do hear us....I literally just started sobbing because the guys are right. Together we are bullet proof. Thank you for your reaction.

The whale is from whalien 52. It’s a phenomenal song, and from the way RM talks about it I’m convinced it’s one of his favorites.

[@carmenguerra9844]

Just the beginning of the video make me feel so emotional the first place in where they practiced was small and have the logo as you see in the right side. And going on through the videos. The more touching was the "The most beautiful moments in life pt1 and 2 era" ( i need u, run, whalien 52) this video mean so much for every army is a compilation of the BTS story. They are not famous because they born in that way. They suffer to much to reach that!. Thanks for reacting to this beautiful video. I cried with the video and I cried with your words. Thanks for being part of this!

[@HealthySelfNThrive]

This animation was so touching. It really speaks of their story and the feelings they wanted to convey in the song, I honestly can’t think of another way they could’ve done this mv. This festa week is a blast! This is my fourth year with them and I'm so proud of their success story. It brings a smile to my face 💜

"such a testimony" exactly. That's the reciprocal love at the heart of BTS-ARMY flourishing. At the heart of why we stan BTS.

From starting to now each songs's MV in background included.... Each & Every struggle they went through..the difficulties they had to face ...each purple light representing an army bomb..with a person/Army holding it.. crying.. laughing.. singing... getting emotional during their performance.. making constellation of stars in their Universe..every single thing in this MV with beautiful lyrics holds an emotion..and meaning for Armys.. making us emotional.. seeing the journey we went though together.. *For a non-Army this must be just a beautiful animation..but for us it's an emotion and love.. just wanna say.. thank you BTS for being part of my Life..and making it beautiful..I love you more than love.. Borahae* 💜 Happy BTS Day my lovely fellow Armys🥰

[@ashington89]

I think this is the first time a reaction to a BTS MV has moved me so much especially when you guys spoke about being locked in arms and being bulletproof with your friends and family and how it related to you as well as BTS and ARMY. I shed a tear when Nico spoke after the first watch. 😢 This song is just so emotional for all of us.

[@jacquibhere9413]

As beautiful a tribute this is to all ARMYs, my wish is that this song also serves as a welcome message to BTS's new label mates. They are truly no longer just seven for BigHit now. (now, where's that tissue)

[@princesselomilkr9212]

This video is lit, this is the 6th time I'm watching this MV and still I'm crying like a baby. The one where they're standing on the stage is"Born singer"💜💜💜

[@amandaborja5019]

I love y'all's reactions. Really really do. Thank you. One of the (many) things I find so beautiful in this video is that at 4:49 all the purple lights (Armys) are like stars (Mikrokosmos) and they come together as constelations making the words WE ARE TOGETHER BULLETPROOF and later at 5:16 HAVE YOU HAVE YOU and an Army Bomb. The way I see it, in these two moments, it's not BTS singing that to us. It is Army saying those things to them. 💜 . Oh, and another thing that came to my mind now, when Blaze talked about the broken glass and 7 years of bad luck... they're celebrating their 7th Anniversary. The 7 years that could have gone bad (as so many people who didn't believe them probably thought would) were actually years of growth, learning and through hard work, they got to where they are today.

[@MinSung931]

This song is just so beautiful yet emotional especially for me as ive been with them and an army since 2014. Also the purple orbs you see the whale both represent the Armys, the whale because when BTS rides it it represents us armys taking them to heights and places they never thought would ever be possible to reach and the purple orbs as our army bombs. I loved how they included the eras from No More Dream to NO to Boy In Luv to BST to Run to I Need You to Forever Young to finally When they get to the 2018 MAMA awards (that made me cry so much as it reminded me of them taking about how they discussed about disbanding) then they see the BTS logo infront of them and it changes into the Armys logo and they walk through it to finally end up in the Boy With Luv Era, this is the last era they showed in this MV as they havent experienced the ON era with us yet. All in all this was so emotional for me and it just made me (a older army) very proud of the obstacles and differences they had to over come to be where they are now and im forever grateful to have them in my life, Like Hobi once said “ when you stat stanning BTS you will realise it was the best decision” and for me it was

It makes it 10x more emotional with the meaning behind the word “bulletproof”. Bulletproof vests (old logo), bulletproof pt2, bulletproof Boy Scouts, etc.

I could see you guys felt this to a deep level and it made me tear up. This video is so emotionally powerful; the lyrics were already so touching by themselves while knowing BTS’ history, but then the imagery in the animation brought specific moments in time to mind and it turned it into a walk down memory lane for all of ARMY. Even though it appears to be a sad song it actually makes me so happy, because it shows that the appreciation that I feel for this group of seven incredible artists is reciprocated to an equal or even higher level and that to me is what makes BTS so very special.

[@odessabrigades2048]

This is what I found out about both BTS and ARMY logos: BTS and A.R.M.Y are almost mirror images of each other and they have a relationship that is affected by each other. The symbol of A.R.M.Y is expressed as a door on their viewpoint who is waiting & welcoming BTS on the opposite door when BTS opens a new door.

That opening scene with RM in a room walking toward a mirror wall was their very first dance practice studio where the old BigHit office was. Its where all their hopes and dreams were born. (Reference their old dance practice videos) Also, that part where BTS was sitting with a bonfire and they start ascending riding a whale to a very high stage - their outfits and hair colors were reference during their last day of the WINGS TOUR: The Final. When they were on top of the stage in the animation video, that circular formation they were in was when they sang "Born Singer" in the concert (they all cried, we all cried). Then the part where they were lined up while a red-haired character was in the middle crying and was holding something that resembles the MAMA trophy in 2018 - they were still wearing their WINGS TOUR Final outfit in that scene and Hobi had red hair at that time, but that looking closely that scene was also a reference to when Hobi was giving the award acceptance speech at MAMA 2018 where he (and the other boys) cried. Also, the very high stage kinda also symbolizes that they are now at the top, its looks cold, desolate and lonely, but ARMYS are there with them (purple lights)

The whale swimming in a see of purple stares represents BTS being together with army.........there was a time when BTS felt like no matter how much they screamed no one would notice them like the whale from whalien 52 until army came along and showed them that no mater what happens army will be there listening to that beautiful whale singing and the same love army has for them they've repaid tenfold

[@heyitsmejp]

Basically every little detail in the video has a reason why it’s in the video. I’m sure others will give you the details. The video goes through their history along with the hardships they encountered. For those of us who’s been there since the beginning or knows all of what BTS went through and recognizes all the symbolism in the video...it’s a very emotional video. It really hits deep. (The whale 🐋 is referenced from their song Whalien 52 - react to that if you haven’t so you get the meaning) I started to cry watching the video just after the first few seconds when RM sees his old self. I’m proud of BTS for their growth and staying strong to push forward, and also of ARMYs for always supporting them and staying by their side even through tough times. 😭💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
