Wes And Steph - Bts Proof CD 1 Reaction

Wes and Steph the meaning of Run BTS song is The single ‘Run BTS’ is an ode to their journey and is the boys’ new attempt at Rock. ‘Run BTS’ is one of their typical songs but is their first attempt at flexing the success they have achieved over the years. In the lyrics, members talk about how they rose from the bottom and have become so powerful in each other’s company that it is them against the world now.

If you want to react to the boys rapping fast you should react to their cyphers 1,2,3,4

So I like these too (the color coded lyrics) but sometimes they get who’s singing the lyric wrong… so I also love live performances as well

"Born singer" that high note at the end was Jungkook. "Spring day" lyric distribution is wrong. J-Hope doesn't have any lines in cd version only in live version. I don't know if you realised song on this album are title songs. Halsy gets line in spotify version. "Yet to come" is about pandemic.

i know youre not talking to me about being rude when the point of reactions is to react and if youre missing parts that defeats the purpose of reacting. also for many songs theyre viewing the lyrics which is also the main point of bts songs. if youre not reading the lyrics youll end up thinking bts songs are boyband kpop and generic when theyre deeper than that. its not just about listening that would be called a first listen not a reaction. there was nothing rude about my comment.they can share their thoughts with pausing or not looking away from the screen so they dont miss the entire points of songs.its a suggestion and we're paying them for the reactions by being on patreon so we should be able to give suggestions out to make it easier to watch no? cause if its not enjoyable how would they continue to get people to watch them thats the entire point. maybe youre okay with them missing the entire points of bts songs and artistry but thats not how most army are who actually care for people to know bts messages which bts want people to know their lyrics theyve said so since 2013. their life is their lyrics. also wes and stef have already fixed this in later reactions i was just pointing out what i dont enjoy about this specific reaction so they can not make the mistake again cause its a two way street of watching reaction especially when i know they enjoy bts lyrics it would be better for them learning about bts too not only for viewers enjoyment. not sure where you came to the conclusion of it being rude but it very well wasnt.if people dont give feedback how do they improve?

Why you are so rude? They share their thoughts with each other and with us - isn't that great? Moreover, sometimes people just want to enjoy the music and melody of the song. That's good, too.

2022-08-20 15:07:02 +0000 UTC

hey instead of facing stef and looking away from the lyrics every time you talk maybe face the screen? you miss so much by speaking over the song and looking away and its distracting other than that i love your reaction. also i agree with the other comments the lyric videos arent that great. please use af taehyung, zaty farhani, enjoy bts more or dial 6137 these 4 channels are great with lyrics. maybe you should do a video where you react to the explanation videos by dkdktv, xceleste, bookish theories and italian army ? theres many songs that go way deeper than the surface that youre missing the meanings not only because of poor translations but because of cultural context that we as non koreans cant know of :)

tori

2022-08-19 21:58:02 +0000 UTC

'Af taehyung' and 'Zati Farhani' have the best color coded lyrics, a lot of channels half ass the translations and just dont do a good job. Spring Day is more about grief and mourning someone (a friend) who has passed. Life goes on was released during the height of the pandemic. Its about covid.

Aparna

2022-08-19 19:28:58 +0000 UTC

you're totally right, ''run'' is the one where they vandalize cars and run away from cops lol, ''run bts'' (the song you listened to) is a new release and it's just the members looking back at how they started, showing each other appreciation and basically saying ''let's keep running/going''! it's such a fun track

tannie misser

2022-07-10 16:32:59 +0000 UTC

SPRING DAY is about missing someone but not in a relationship way, more like passing away

2022-07-02 07:55:31 +0000 UTC

For sure, those first 2 are great or All of Us are dead if you want something darker. As someone who doesn't like scary and barely watches any it was still something I could handle. All of them are fun to watch and create theories about. The more people the better because you have more crazy theories to keep up with and consider.

OK. My top three Kdramas are Vincenzo, What's Wrong with Secretary Kim, and Fight for My Way. I like the ones that are comedic! You can't go wrong with any of these three!

Wait omg if ya'll are serious about reacting to a Kdrama check out it's okay not to be okay- that kdrama was SO good it's insane

Zaneta

2022-06-20 04:50:29 +0000 UTC

Omg no please don't apologize for just reading the lyrics- I personally love seeing that ya'll are actually reading it and acknowledging the lyrics, so please react comfortably ^_^

cd1 has title tracks, that is why boy in luv is included and it is a part of their career story

Kai-Riin Kanarbik

2022-06-15 21:47:51 +0000 UTC

oh lyric videos are often not accurate (wrong members and translations) and some channels like lemoring and jaeguchi make money off of bts illegally, i recommend looking up lyrics on a site called doolsetbangtan if you want the correct translation with explanations

Kai-Riin Kanarbik

2022-06-15 21:32:00 +0000 UTC

you guys should react to a Chinese drama called falling into your smile it's on Netflix it's a good series

Random thought because I was rewatching your Rise of Bangtan reaction not long ago and the boys have been pre-recording for their comeback stage on various TV shows, I realized you actually haven't seen any of those comeback stage in full so it would be nice to see you reactions to those stage here on patreon. 😄

“Spring Day” came out three years after the sinking of the Sewol ferry, a disaster in which an improperly inspected, overloaded, and unbalanced ferry capsized on an overnight journey. The ship had been loaded with twice the legal limit of cargo on its decks, and the ship's crew had lied about the boat's total weight. The song kept the disaster front of mind for young Koreans and for the media, indirectly leading to the impeachment and removal of then president Park Geun-hye.

For the CD 3 reaction it mostly demos and unreleased songs and it’s only on cd. if find a way to listen to them I suggest listening to the original version first of the song and then the demo so you have a comparison of the final product and how they sounded before they were polished and released.

Yeeeess!!! it would be awesome if you watch a full concert!!! it would be so fun bc you are not used to see their performances.

2022-06-12 05:53:58 +0000 UTC

Wes and Steph, thank you for this reaction. I’ve always enjoyed watching and hearing your thoughts but the last part, your analysis of the whole CD1 specially with Yet To Come, I think the two of you really captured the essence of this anthology album. It’s really a full circle for BTS at this point but hey, the best is yet to come and I’m glad you guys are now a part of our journey.💜

Mary Louise Javier

2022-06-12 05:16:49 +0000 UTC

Yes!!! You all would LOVE Vincenzo. It’s a Netflix show so it’s easy to watch, and is also VERY accessible/understandable to those who haven’t watched kdramas before. Vincenzo is sooooo well done and has an amazing cast of characters with a plot that is easy to follow. Also, if it gives you any more reason to watch it, BTS have made a lot of jokes and references to the show, so I’m sure they watched it and liked it as well!

You guys should check out their Online Concert called “ON:E”. It was held during the pandemic and it’s amazing.

I think the reason for the cultural difference in terms of pressure to study hard is that most Asian countries are developing into first world economies. So, education is a way to climb the social ladder. Govt jobs offer stability and some prestige and they are offered based on a person's qualification, certificates. Hence, the great focus on entering colleges and getting grades. The older generations were in their survival mode back in those days, so they chose practicality over personal dreams, and imposed the same on their children.

The Run Bts that you listened was the new song but it's really a Bop <3 and if you are interested in watching kdramas, I highly recommend "Vincenzo" is such a good kdrama and it keeps you engaged every chapter

Daniela Miño

2022-06-11 23:55:57 +0000 UTC

OMGGGGG! I loved your reaction, I loved watching you enjoying and understanding their lyrics, this is so cool! can't wait for the reaction of CD 2 and 3! and can't wait for you to listen to Cypher pt:3

Daniela Miño

2022-06-11 23:54:12 +0000 UTC

You explained it perfectly!!! Hope they read this comment, maybe you could send through a message too so they can for sure see it because i don't really know if they really read the comments here

Carol 💜

2022-06-11 23:52:15 +0000 UTC

I would recommend when you listen to CD3 that you listen to the final version of the song first (if you haven't already heard it) and then the demo version afterwards (or in reverse) 😊

Mette Nielsen

2022-06-11 22:06:14 +0000 UTC

One thing I have to say is that Lemoring's translations are not always the best, they do them in a hurry the second the song is released so usually there's a lot of errors. One channel in particular I recommend is "af taehyung" they make great color coded lyric videos!

And

2022-06-11 20:10:12 +0000 UTC

I really enjoyed your reaction! I loved hearing your interpretations of the songs! I don’t know if there is a comment explaining this, but for CD2 each of the members chose 1 of their 3 solo songs in BTS’ discography and 1 unit song that they are in. They released videos on twitter called “Proof of Inspiration” that explained why they chose the songs they did. I think it will help you understand the songs more as they are kind of disconnected from each other. The order of the songs on the CD is RM > Jin > Suga > J-Hope > Jimin > V > Jungkook. I think reacting to the lyrics videos is a good way to learn their voices and understand the timing of the lyrics, but I recommend that for CD2, before or after watching the lyric video, you look at the meaning/lyrics on doolset lyrics as it is more accurate and gives context for certain Korean phrases. For example, the song Fire seems very surface level, but there’s actually a line in J-Hope’s verse referencing socioeconomic hierarchy that simply does not translate into English haha. Also, I just wanted to mention I left another (decently long) comment explaining the meaning and context of the songs on CD1 and I really hope you at least skim it because I don’t see another comment explaining the larger themes of BTS’ discography (that the title tracks are based on) which I think would help a lot with your understanding. I also see multiple comments saying that the meanings of the title tracks are just not as deep/important compared to the b-sides which is suuuch an oversimplification.

Walcott Koenig

2022-06-11 19:27:21 +0000 UTC

I'm really glad that you reacted to this! For CD 1 it's the title tracks (minus Born Singer) so that people are able to see where they started to where they are today. The albums these songs are from give more context of the meaning behind these songs. No More Dream, NO, and Boy in Luv comes from the Skool Trilogy (2013-2014); three albums talk about what it is like being a teenager in South Korea and how the pressure can affect teenagers, but also falling for someone when you are a teenager in the later part of the trilogy. Danger comes from their 1st studio album (2014). The Big Hit website states "BTS sings about love gone awry... They warn the girl who acts like she doesn't love them not to test their love anymore." I Need U, Run, and Fire comes from the Youth Trilogy(2015); three albums that talk about what being a young adult is like - both the good and bad along with the uncertainty that comes with growing up. Some of the music videos from this era also start the BTS Universe that spans through some music videos, short films, books, and a mobile game. It can be a confusing, but fun experience. Blood, Sweat, and Tears and Spring Day come the Wings/You Never Walk Alone Era (2016-2017); Wings was their 2nd studio album that deals with temptation, as well some introspection, and how the boys may deal with it as they continue to grow as people. Wings is also inspired by the book Demian. This is the first time the members have solo songs on the album, so we get to see a lot of the different personalities in their music. You Never Walk Alone is the closure to Wings that is supposed to give hope to those going through their youth or anyone struggling. ***The Spring Day music video has very specific meanings that would require watching an explanation video to fully understand. DNA, Fake Love, and IDOL come from the Love Yourself series (2017-2018); three albums that depict the journey through a relationship not good for you as you learn to love yourself before you can love anyone else. The 1st album is the start of the relationship (Love Yourself: Her), the 2nd album depicts the realization of the relationship not being a good one or not the right one for you (Love Yourself: Tear also 3rd studio album), and the last album in the series shows the that the answer to the problems is learning to love yourself first (Love Yourself: Answer). Boy with Luv (ft. Halsey) and ON come from the Map of the Soul era (2019-2020); these two deal with the aspects of self that makes someone who they are - the persona, shadow, and ego of the soul. This series was inspired by Carl Jung’s book Map of the Soul. The members reflect on the different aspects of what makes them, them. Map of the Soul: 7 is their 4th studio album and one of their longest that had the majority new songs. They never got to really tour with this album because right after COVID hit. Dynamite and Life Goes On come from BE; this is a pandemic album written by the members to deal with their own experiences in quarantine while also trying to help uplift everyone suffering from the pandemic. What’s interesting about this album is that all the members had an aspect in making the album including the photoshoots, directing one of the music videos while live streaming some of the meetings they had planning or working on the album in order to give ARMY an insight to their process and have something to focus on outside the pandemic. Butter (2021) wasn’t released with an album and was really just a song that was to put people in a good mood.

I really recommend you guys to watch BTS songs explained by korean on DKDKTV youtube channel, so you can have a better point of view and understand the culture more, why bts wrote those lyrics.

2022-06-11 18:50:34 +0000 UTC

This just made me think about how much I need you to just go through their albums and react to their b-sides and the lyrics. Because you'd love songs like Baepsae or Spine Breaker 😄 The funny thing about this anthology is that it's supposed to be the best of BTS' career, but their music is so consistently good it's literally impossible to pick all the best songs with such limited number of tracks 😄. So please, please, do the album reactions when you have some free slots. I absolutely love your commentary. You're funny and thoughtful at the same time and you're genuinely my favorite reactors 💜💜

Michelle Winchester

2022-06-11 18:31:53 +0000 UTC

I’m so excited for you to listen to their b-sides! Would you guys like to react to one of their online concerts? That’d be really cool. I think the BTS ON:E concert is amazing, you should check it out.

Silvia R

2022-06-11 17:49:29 +0000 UTC

I don’t if there is a comment that explains this well, but I haven’t seen one. I’ve seen comments saying that the lyrics aren’t as meaningful because they are title tracks, which is not entirely accurate… they just tell an overarching interconnected story and by only looking at the title tracks you're getting a really zoomed in view of it. If you take the albums as a whole you get the full picture. It is true that the b-sides are more personal because they don’t necessarily have to fit the theme as directly. I’ll try to explain the title tracks as briefly as possible (also there is no one real meaning to these songs as you can interpret lyrics however they speak to you, but this is just based on what the members have said about the songs). Born Singer is not a title track. It is a song written before their debut about their journey from the beginning of their trainee period to their first stage. The first 3 BTS mini-albums are called the school trilogy. The 1st album is about dreams with the title track “No More Dream” The 2nd album is about happiness with the title track “N.O.” I think your interpretations of those songs are spot on. They first ask what your dreams are and then if you are really happy living your life how you are currently. The 3rd album is about love with the title track “Boy In Luv” It’s not about a specific relationship, just a depiction of love that would be relatable to people their age. It is very purposefully about an immature kind of love which is why they have “Boy With Luv” later that directly responds to it. “Danger” is the title track of their 1st full album and it is similarly about school age love. After the school trilogy is The Most Beautiful Moment In Life (abbreviated as HYYH). These albums are about youth. Their new song “Yet to Come” is a direct response to it as they refer to their youth as the most beautiful moment in life, but they also want to see their future as that. HYYH is also where the storyline starts which is why the music videos have such a different tone. Keeping in that, the songs are more about friendship than relationships. As you can see in the music videos for “I Need U” and “Run” the friendship is very tumultuous and toxic at times. That’s why they are ‘sad’ friendship songs. It’s just easier to promote a love song than a friendship song. “Fire” is the wrap-up title track of this era. I think it’s easy to get a shallow view of the song, but it’s basically a defense of their generation. In the beginning of the Fire music video you can see that the toilet paper in the chain fence spells out ‘YOUTH.’ I think the song is best summed up by the lyrics “It’s ok to just live because we’re still young. Who do you think you are to say otherwise.” When Suga says “I’ll forgive you” it’s because the song is saying ‘it’s okay to lose, it’s okay if you burn everything down, you’re still young and you are human.” The next era is Wings which is a very personal album and era as it is their 2nd full length album and each member has a solo song. The theme of this era is temptation and it is based on the book Demian by Hermann Hesse. So, the lyrics of “Blood Sweat & Tears” are very generally about temptation while the solo songs are all directly connected to the members personal lives. The ultimate message is about the painful process of growing wings before being able to fly. You Never Walk Alone is the wrap-up album of the Wings era and is very much connected to what people their age at that time were feeling, but to explain “Spring Day” briefly, Suga’s verse sounds out of place because it is about a personal friendship of his. RM and Suga both wrote it based on experiences of losing friends and they didn’t hide that it was a friendship song because the word “Friend” is twice in the lyrics. I can get why it caused confusion as most of the songs you reacted to previously seemed like relationship songs. Spring Day also has another layer of meaning, but like I said this is a brief explanation. After Wings is the Love Yourself series. It’s about being in a relationship that seems like fate (“DNA”), realizing you’re changing yourself so much to please the person you are with that you do not recognize yourself anymore (“Fake Love”), and then realizing that you cannot love others before you love yourself (“Idol”). RM even mentioned with Fake Love that it can also relate to their relationship with their fans as they only want to show the perfect sides of themselves… The next era is “Map of the Soul” is based on the Jungian Archetypes of ‘persona,’ ‘shadow,’ and ‘ego.’ I’ll just explain the two songs you listened to. The whole “Map of the Soul” series is about BTS’ identity and directly mirrors the themes of dreams, happiness, and love from the school trilogy. The choreography of Boy With Luv references some of BTS’s past choreographies and during RM’s rap in the music video, you can see the titles of their past albums in the neon signs. This means “Boy With Luv” revisits Boy In Luv and displays their growth from then to now. The Korean title is “A poem for small things.” RM explains it best “It’s about finding little joy in love, being curious about the little things, the details like what you’re eating, what you’re doing. But, most importantly, Boy With Luv is like a fan letter from BTS to ARMY. That’s the most important thing.” To explain how it relates to BTS’ and ARMY’s relationship, I’ll paraphrase the pre chorus- ‘I’m flying high in the sky with the wings you gave me, now it’s too high and I’d like for our eyes to meet.’ It’s basically saying that even though we have given them so much fame and achievement, they don’t want to become disconnected to us. Jungkook and RM actually addressed this concern at different times in 2016/2017 saying that although we made their position higher, they are still coming closer to us, so we should not worry. I'm pretty sure Jimin said something similar at a fan meeting too. That’s why RM says 'instead of flying towards the sun, I’ll fly to you.' J-hope's verse mentioned "world peace" because they are speaking at the UN and the White House and being called heros, when their real goal is just to make music that resonates. “On” again is about BTS’ identity (they went with the title On to mirror N.O. from the school trilogy). They released Map of the Soul: 7 on their 7th anniversary and the song is kind of about how the past 7 years have been kind of crazy and they had to go crazy in order to keep up, but they still want to stay strong and continue on. “Dynamite” and “Butter” are fun English songs for pandemic escapism. “Life Goes On” is the title track of their album BE which addresses their feelings about the pandemic directly. There is a song about depression on this album called “Blue and Gray" written by V about his experience with burn-out. Hope this helped!

Boy With Love is actually a song for ARMY. Life Goes On was written during the lockdown and pandemic and is also to ARMY. Just a recommendation for next album reactions...there's a website called "doolsetbangtan" that correctly translates BTS Korean songs. The lyric videos poorly translate the lyrics. Another thing I recommend are explanation videos from channels like "DKDKTV", "xCeleste" and "Bookish Theories". They are so helpful when it comes to the lyrics and symbolisms. I suggest explanation videos for "Idol", "Boy With Love" and "ON" all by "Bookish Theories"

Absolutely adored this reaction, thank you guys so much. In regards to spring day, it isn't the video you're thinking of...that's 'For you' :) The video for spring day is actually heart-breaking, more than you realise. I would suggest watching an explanation video on it (of which there are a few on YouTube), because it goes a LOT deeper than you would think and it's incredibly sad EDIT: Also just so you know Boy With Luv is a love song for ARMY, they aren't singing about a relationship :) BTS actually havea lot of songs that seem like that until you look deeper. E.g. on the next CD, 'Stay' and 'Moon' are about army :) Also 'Life Goes On' is about the pandemic and how they want to see Army again but can't, but ultimately they know nothing has changed between us. It was to give us hope and peace during a difficult time. Also the reason they decided to release dynamite was because they wanted us to experience some fun & happiness during the pandemic & lockdown :)

BLOOD SWEAT and TEARS is heavily influenced by the novel DEMIAN by Hermann Hesse. The song is about youth’s fall into temptation and loss of innocence

Marie

2022-06-11 14:02:22 +0000 UTC

most of my favorites are actually B-sides haha. If you ever want to react to those, I'll glady make a playlist for you :) for the title tracks on this album it's probaly Run, Blood Sweat & Tears, Spring Day, Fake Love and Idol

Lela

2022-06-11 13:52:01 +0000 UTC

You had so many questions, hahaha I think you got it overall, even though you were missing some context. This CD tells their story of growing up as artists and people, from "What's my dream?" to "Music is my dream and I'm going to keep doing it regardless of people's expectations". Going through their youth as it related to society's issues, love (and keep in mind, they refer to many forms of it in their discography, not only romantic love), discovering oneself, fame...and how they battle the downsides of all of it. It's interesting how they chose these title tracks. I personally would have gone for some others. That's why I also encourage you to go through all their albums, as they'll tell their story in full, and you'll love some of the b-sides as well. CD2 includes 2 new songs, one you already listened to: Run BTS. The rest are chosen by the members, 2 each. One is a solo and the other is a unit song. CD3 is all demos of unreleased songs and versions of released songs with changes in melodies and/or lyrics. They usually contribute to songs like that, then producers pick which fit better all together. Finally, lyric videos are fine when you don't fully recognize the member's voices, but consider other resources like doolset or bangtan subs, which have 100% MUCH better translations and also notes on different possible meanings, dialect uses, further context, etc. Lyric videos are pumped out fast with google translations to earn views and often exploit the youtube system to be able to monetize them without the copyright owners (in this case, BTS & Big Hit) getting a single cent. Especially with the rap line songs, you won't understand half of it using these videos.

Hey! I always come across your comments on patreon (for bts reactors) and you never cease to amaze me on how perfectly and beautifully you describe J-Hope's talent and artistry! He is one of the most interesting, complete and amazing artists of his generation for sure! Thanks for putting this into (very well written) words :)

2022-06-11 12:38:37 +0000 UTC

BTS's title tracks might have gotten a little lighter in their messages as they went on through the years BUT their B-sides and other songs are still just as powerful as always. If i was to make a list of my favourite songs lyrically-speaking, it wouldn't really have any title tracks because their other works would absolutely dominate that list. Oh also, if you wanna watch a k-drama, HWARANG was the first one i watched, and it has V acting in it. It's surprisingly good (because im not usually a fan of historical-ish ones but trust me, it's amazing)

Aly

2022-06-11 12:37:39 +0000 UTC

I'm so excited for this reaction! Isn't it interesting how we're so used to (Western) music mostly being about love and break-ups that we kind of tend to read everything into that direction if the lyrics even remotely allow it? (Talking about Spring Day and Life Goes On for example). I honestly think it's sad how "longing" "missing" or any deeper emotion seems to only be connected to romantic partners and never other meaningful things/relationships. I think color-coded lyrics are totally fine just there are some bad channels out there that are known to have inaccurate translations because they upload their videos FAST to get views and ad revenue. Unknowingly you used one of them: Jaeguchi, Lemoring, Zaty. I'd reommend "aftaehyung" or "DIAL6137" :) Ps: Wes is already really good with their voices! Just out of curiosity: did you buy the album or how will you react to CD 3?

2022-06-11 11:13:57 +0000 UTC

also you seemed confused about LIfe goes on. It is very simple hahah: it is a title song of the album "BE" that is their pandemic album that they made all by themselves (from start to finish) and the songs in the album tell their stories of how they felt during the pandemic, (it is a GREAT album to do a reaction to, cause it starts really dark and lost and hopeless and gradually gets lighter and more hopeful and ends with dynamite :) and Life goes on is basically the song about the pandemic and quarantine, and world stopping but "spring coming on time withouth waiting", "empty streets without footprints", "is there end in sight", the feeling of being stuck , but also hope that "life goes on" and like an "echo in the forest" that comes back to you, the life and normalcy will come back as well. it is soooo touching and beautiful. They said their intention was to provide comfort in a situation that was difficult for everyone. It was the music video that was filmed in their dorm if you rememver, and V takes off the mask in the beginning. I think you mixed it up with an another one. Also, Jungkook directed that Music Video :))

You were saying how there seem to be more love songs than social commentary ones. The first CD of the anthology are their title songs/singles, so that is why it seems there are more love songs, BUT once you maybe get more into their other albums, or learn more about their music, you will see that a lot of those "love songs" are not that simple or obvious at all and are a part of a bigger story. for example, Blood, sweat and tears is the title track of album Wings, that was inspired by the novel Demian by Hesse and tells the story of a young person experiencing temptation for the first time while growing into oyoung audulthood, experiencing the "dark" side of the world and having the choices of good and bad at the same time. That is why the trailer for that album was J-hopes "Boy meets Evil" (you reacted to it, and were surprised that it suddenly got dark haha). And when it comes to social commentary songs, they never stopped doing them, actually, they are usually B-sides on the albums. And they keep doing them even to this day. Also, just a little info: the first CD are the title songs and singles, the second CD are the songs that members themselves chose. So each member chose one solo song and one group/or unit songs.

Spring Day isn't just a break up song. It's much sadder if you know the meaning and message behind it. The song is about loss, missing a loved one and yearning for the past and also the MV is a tribute to the sewol ferry tragedy. If you want to know more about the incident and song, there are explanation videos on youtube that you can react to. But keep in mind you could get very emotional.

Pearlascent

I’d suggest you wait before reacting to kdramas, we still waiting for more Von Voyage, In The Soop, Run Bts, Rise of Bangtan episodes that adding k dramas would be too much for you guys because we’ll be demanding more content since we enjoy watching all this with you 🥺💜

dani from Chile

I would soooo recommend CRASH LANDING ON YOU. The comedy the romance and the drama and the cultural references on both North and South Korea are all successfully blended and all freshly done and spot on.

Eli Min

2022-06-11 07:39:30 +0000 UTC

Ami

2022-06-11 07:38:44 +0000 UTC

I don't usually comment, but since you asked for a kdrama, I'll definitely recommend "flower of evil" it's a mix of romance, mystery, action... I've watched a lot of kdramas but this one is my favorite.

Aria

2022-06-11 07:36:01 +0000 UTC

If you want the deep lyrics you have to react to all the bts albums, because title tracks are less secific, but the rest of the albums have tracks with deep and cool lyrics

mel bird

2022-06-11 07:11:45 +0000 UTC

Thanks for reacting to this!! FYI, Life Goes On is a song about pandemic. CD1 tracklist consists of all their title songs. CD2 tracklist are B sides that the members choose. CD3 are demos for sone of their songs from members.

2022-06-11 07:09:26 +0000 UTC

Just a note that Boy With Luv is actually called "Poem of Small Things" in Korean, and it's written with Army in mind. They wanted to reassure fans that they still wanted to be close to Army, and want to hear and listen to every little thing they had to say. Which puts into perspective RM's rap verse "I confess, sometimes I wanted to run away, and I was stuck up, but listening to you, I wanted to put on my Icarus wings, but instead of the sun, I want to fly to you."

Kashalia

2022-06-11 07:03:52 +0000 UTC

A girl can call a close older guy friend "Oppa", her boyfriend "Oppa" and her actual big brother "Oppa" but it all just means an older brother. A guy will use the term "Hyung" to refer to an older brother

Erenkyo

2022-06-11 07:02:43 +0000 UTC

Fun fact, I NEED U lyrics in the beginning was "I need u friend" but that doesn't sound as good as girl. That's why the MV doesn't match the lyrics, they weren't intended for a love romance

mel bird

2022-06-11 06:57:56 +0000 UTC

The first CD is just all the track list + born singer and the new track list. Tell their story in the music industry

mel bird

2022-06-11 06:50:19 +0000 UTC

I won’t say it “has” romantic connotations, because it definitely doesn’t in general. It “can” have romantic connotations, but it’s literally used for just older males, nothing romantic.

Ophelia

2022-06-11 06:32:37 +0000 UTC

If you'd react to a K-drama, I'd suggest my all-time favorite "My Love From The Star" starring Kim Soo-hyun and Jun Ji-hyun. If you haven't watched it yet, I highly recommend it. I re-watched it once or twice every year so the story is always fresh in my mind. That's how good the story is for me.

IJALS

2022-06-11 06:29:04 +0000 UTC

"Crash landing on you" is a great drama to start with. You can learn about North Korean culture and South Korean culture throught this drama. And maybe you guys can make a poll so everyone can vote together.

j-hope is pretty well known for his versatility. Even on this latest album his voice in Run BTS was something we were all shook by. And he's also known for having the stand out part of a song. Like RM & Yoongi will often rap over the same structure (like verse 1, verse 2) and then j-hope will have a part that switches up. The boys said it's because he's like water and can adapt to fill whatever space they need. And he does. He brings what the track calls for. On some of his solo stuff, you'd think there were four artists on one track (Baseline, Blue Side extended version) but it's all just him. I think because he's a singer and a rapper and already has a really unique tone, he just has a bottomless bag of tricks to pull from. And then his prodigy-level musicality gives him the ear and rhythm to pick melodies and flows that are just super unexpected and catchy. It took me like a year to realize that j-hope's verse was my favorite part of like 85% of BTS' discography. I think his talent sometimes take a little longer to hit people because he does so many things well that he doesn't have ONE single think that people hear/see every time. It's not like "oh, there's the guy with the fast flow" or "there's the guy who kills those high notes." But once you see it, you can't unsee it. He will just blow your socks off every time. For me, that's what makes him such an exciting artist. He's so distinct but always manages to surprise and challenge fans. I can't wait to see what he does at Lollapalooza.

2022-06-11 06:04:23 +0000 UTC

CD 3 is old demos and unreleased songs. So just be aware that some of the demos are more polished than the others or vocal guides and not meant to have been released as is. So don't be afraid if you start laughing at some of them (RM in I need u demo). And for a couple, the lyrics are fillers to help create a melody so just take each song with a grain of salt.

Carmen Johnson

2022-06-11 05:59:09 +0000 UTC

Oh, and just my thought, I think you would be absolutely blown away by the live version of 'Filter' which is in CD 2 as well. Like seriously, you'd see Jimin in a different light for sure.

Some of these lyrics videos have really2 bad translations. Likely done by ppl who just wanted the views. Please always refer to Doolset, which is an army run website. They accurately give botb translations as well as context to most of your questions, including some of the cultural references. https://doolsetbangtan.wordpress.com/bts-albums/

Kashalia

2022-06-11 05:08:51 +0000 UTC

you should watch Business Proposal it's romantic comedy and it's so funny (It tells the story of Shin Ha-ri, an employee who accepts to go on a blind date in place of her friend, but finds out that her date is actually her boss) Jungkook watched this drama too :)

dani from Chile

2022-06-11 04:57:05 +0000 UTC

The perfect K drama to start is Crash Landing on You. The show is set mainly in North Korea when a South Korean woman somehow ends up there (I don’t wanna spoil too much) but it’s funny and emotional, and to this day one of the most popular k dramas. Plus the actors recently got married. Others are also recommending business proposal which is more funny and cheesy, but entertaining none the less. Love your reactions!!! Always routing for you guys!!!

Spring Day - you're going to have to check out Italian Army explanation (you will need to pause a lot as the information goes by fast) the music video is about a certain tragedy in S Korea - at least it references a lot to it. The song itself is about missing someone. I cry everytime it plays as I think about my father and how I miss him that he's gone

Around the time of I Need You, which is their Beautiful Moment in Life Albums or HYYH Era - this is when the start of the love songs was not just romantic, but it could be a metaphor for any type of relationship in your life including friends or family. These are the title songs for each era, but if you went through the albums the song is on, you would get a better understanding what the overall story of the album would be and sometimes a whole series. Like Wings is based on a Novel from Herman Hesse called Damien. And Map the Soul from a psychological theory. I really like how your taking your knowledge of what you know now from the documentaries and you get why they were talking about what they were at the time

Marissa K

2022-06-11 04:06:37 +0000 UTC

life goes on is your simple quarantine song about how no matter how much you may miss your old life and how things used to be life will go on these have all been title songs of each album bts have released so overall they don't really create one cohesive story but they're all there to show to journey of their careers as proof. each self contained album is better at portraying the whole vibe of the album than this anthology which just shows their 'best' for example for blood sweat and tears the whole album was an art concept about a book called demian which explains a lot about the lyrics you were shocked about, mainly temptation. cd2 is again not a complete story just some songs each of the members have enjoyed (they each choose 2 and i look forward for you guys to guess who picked which ones)

Ooh yes, you should totally watch a kdrama! I recommend Business Proposal which came out fairly recently and Strong Woman Do Bong Soon which is really popular.

KCeeee

2022-06-11 03:51:01 +0000 UTC

So CD1 is actually all their title tracks from their albums, in order. The thing about title tracks is that they'll often be the songs with the catchiest beats, but not usually the most lyrically dense. I think that's why we ended up with a string of love songs as title tracks, while the more thematically complex and lyrically interesting tracks end up as B sides. BTS continued to do a lot of cultural critique in their songs, as well as very introspective music, but you usually have to go past the title tracks to encounter those, which is what you guys will be getting into later with CD2. These songs are all still iconic, but there was waaay more to there message throughout their career that I can't wait to see you get into

Catalina

2022-06-11 03:49:58 +0000 UTC

im an advocate for everyone can have their own interpretation of the song movement but here are some insights from the members. 1.) I NEED YOU: namjoon said that the lyrics were supposed to be "i need you friend" but "i need you girl" sounded better so they went with that. 2.) SPRING DAY: is more about friendship breakups you know how sometimes you just drift apart as you grow old. namjoon did a whole speech about how we should reach out to those friends and uts so cute but anyways 3.) LIFE GOES ON: is specifically about the pandemic and how bts feels about them.

EricaFajardo

2022-06-11 03:49:47 +0000 UTC

You should definitely watch a Kdrama. I recommend business proposal it is the funniest kdrama of the year!!!!

CD1 of the anthology is a compilation of all of their singles, that's why you may sense tone changes. It's very hard for you to really understand the beyond the surface level meanings of the songs without following the albums they were originally from. For example, the first three singles are from their first three albums known as the "school trilogy", which focused on topics surrounding the lives of school age children, which they were at the time, like their struggles with the school system and young first love in school. I need you and run (btw the song you mistakenly listened to is run bts, not run, and is one of the three new songs released as part of the anthology and its actually track 1 on CD 2) are then a part of the "the most beautiful moment in life" series which is about the transition to young adulthood and those struggles. Although I Need You has the line "I need you, girl" its actually more about friendship and the line was originally supposed to be "I need you, friend" but it just didn't fit the sound. The "the most beautiful moment in life" series is the start of the BU, the bts storyline overarching their music videos which is just a whole different beast and really too complicated to explain with everything else but suffice it to say that its less about romantic love. Then DNA and fake love are from the next trilogy called the "Love Yourself" series which details a relationship that begins with innocent love and then eventually turns toxic and ends with the message that we need to learn to love ourselves first, so you were actually right on that the transition from DNA to fake love seems to be about the same relationship, it essentially is. The "Map of the soul" series is next and this is a far more personal album that is more focused on telling the members' stories (all of the albums have stories that are personal to them from their own life but this series and especially the second album "Map of the soul: 7" is centrally focused on this concept). Boy with love is a part of this series and although its more of a standalone love song you'll actually see in the doolsetbangtan translations that theyre making several references to past lyrics about their fans and that RM did say this song was dedicated to army which makes sense with a lot of the references. After the release of Map of the soul: 7 was when the pandemic happened and they had to pause all activity which is when their album BE was made as a time capsule of their experiences during the pandemic, Life Goes On being the single from that album and conveying their message to their fans. It's actually been theorized that this anthology album was supposed to come out after MOTS: 7 but their plans were stopped because of the pandemic and they made BE instead. Dynamite and Butter were also made because of their canceled plans as a way to try to help out and bring joy and energy to those pandemic times. They weren't involved in the writing of Dynamite and largely not for Butter either but RM wrote the rap lyrics in Butter. And now with this anthology they've said that it's the end of chapter 1 of bts and they will be starting a new chapter.

Constant Confusion

2022-06-11 03:42:02 +0000 UTC

I would also really recommend after listening to this whole album, to maybe listen to all their albums in order whenever you guys have time

Wes and Steph, it would be nice if you check out this comment for later CDs :)) i love how ya'll thought half of these songs were love songs lol people usually do that, some of them indeed are but what you should know (you probably know) is that musicians, some of the times (in here too) use what people jokingly or not call the "artistic license" for this, it's like you use lyrics that would be associated with love but have totally different meaning. like, for example, in "I Need You" they say i need you girl but the song's about friends. they just thought i need you friend didn't really rhyme well. spring day is a tribute to a tragedy (thus about missing friends), Life goes On is about pandemic etc. so you must consider things like that as well. also it's a fun fact half of what feels like love songs about a relationship are written specifically for army. i always get a kick out of this saying, nobody compliments and loves army the way bts do in their songs. you'll see more in other CDs. from this video, for example what feels like a romantic line to a partner: between you and me nothing has changed (Life Goes On) was a line describing that even after years of pandemic and not seeing army nothing changed between Bts and the army. it's cool like that. lyrics are probably my most favorite thing in music ever, it's so mysterious and can have so many different meanings. btw kudos on understanding the meaning behind Yet To Come in your yt vid. it's indeed a tribute to their past, thus past mv references, like Jin's make out partner lol. love yall, waiting for others as well.

I don't believe they were ever on the official blacklist when it came out. And Spring Day the song was fine as the lyrics are about missing someone also it was after the administration that was responsible for the corruption to the ferry tragedy were already out of power when the video came out which actually has the references to the tragedy. Spring day has stayed on the Melon charts since it came out and would have to be played on the radio for that to happen. Perhaps you were thinking of the song "Am I Wrong" which is heavily political against that administration and it came out during the last legs of it. So they were never officially blacklisted but they could have been on a watch list at that time. But as far as I know nothing was official. I can't believe they were able to perform it twice on two different music shows. I figured KBS would have nixed it. I can see this song not being played on the radio in Korea though. I'd have to research it to make sure.

Life goes on is about the Pandemic. It was written on an album they released during the pandemic. Dynamite wasn't written by BTS, it was a song they did to give their fans a bit of joy during COVID. It was just for fun.

Ok A quick guide for the lyrics. If there is a music video, use the closed captioning and they tend to be the most accurate, you can tell whose singing usually as they are the one being shown on screen at the time. If you're using colour coded channels, please don't use Lemoring, Jaeguchi or Zaty (there are many more but those are the top ones when you search) these tend to use loopholes in copyright policy to get a chunk of the royalties that should go to the artist but goes to the channel, it's a business and don't actually care about the groups or if the translation is good. They don't use proper translators but is usually from Google translate, the person singing/rapping tends to be wrong as well unless glaring obvious who it is. Please use Army translators, whether its a lyric channel (AF Taehyung or BBTS9717) you can tell if they are Army as they credit their translators. Or use Doolset while watching or listening to the spotify or YT official music from BangtanTV. For the new songs, there are excellent translations on twitter from really good Army translators. Sorry, those bad lyric channels are a pet peeve of mine, because they are so inaccurate and their shady dealings really rub me the wrong way. I really enjoyed this otherwise. I would love to see more album reactions. :)

2022-06-11 03:17:44 +0000 UTC

If you guys are serious about reacting to a K-drama, I would suggest Crash Landing on You. It was a pretty popular drama and enveloped the story's audience.

2022-06-11 03:14:57 +0000 UTC

BTS’s discography definitely follows the story of young boys growing up. When they were younger, it was all about school and young, childish love. Then, it became about youth with I Need U and Run. Then the story becomes about loving someone else, realizing that it can be fake, and then coming to loving yourself before loving others. Their songs like Idol and ON are more about their career, I would say. Idol is about them not caring what others think of their success and ON being about experiencing pain to live their dreams. The songs like Dynamite and Butter are just bringing good vibes during the pandemic, and Life Goes On is simply that life will go on after the pandemic. Also, Run BTS is their new song that came out with Proof! It would be cool if you could check out their previous albums and all the b-sides!

Oh god, Born Singer is one of my favorite BTS songs and that godawful translation literally hurt to read. Whoever made that somehow managed to butcher every single beautiful line in that song 😭. Either way, I'm soooo happy you guys are finally reacting to some of BTS's lyrics, they really take their songs to an entirely different level. I just hope you revisit Born Singer at a later date cause wow, that was painful😅

2022-06-11 02:52:44 +0000 UTC

you should make a poll for us to vote on what kdrama you should watch (Sweet Home, It's Okay to Not be Okay, All of Us are Dead, My Name, A Business Proposal) all of these tv shows have great plot.

2022-06-11 02:47:27 +0000 UTC

58:27 oh the irony of mentioning them moving away from cultural critique will reacting to spring day. please when you get the chance watch spring day explained on youtube because that song is a tribute to the sewol ferry tragedy and that song alone got them blacklisted and the radio refused to play it since they were talking about something culturally sensitive that the government tried to sweep under the rug by not allowing anyone to talk about the incident and it takes me back to the time where they werent making any money but still donated to the survivors I will miss spring day era so much it was my very first comeback with bangtan

Oppa is a term of endearment/honorific for a girl to address a guy older than her or her literal older brother. It also has romantic connotations. There are many of these, rise of Bangtan mentions "hyung" which is how a younger guy addresses and guy friend that is older or literal older brother. edit: Snowpiercer is is a 2013 post-apocalyptic science fiction action film based on the French graphic climate fiction novel Le Transperceneige by Jacques Lob,Benjamin Legrand and Jean-Marc Rochette.[5] The film was directed by Bong Joon-ho (Parasite) (Wikipedia) edit2: The gold is in the b-sides. Title tracks tend to be love songs. The b-sides vary more. edit3: BTS and Halsey are actually friends. The album version has more of her in the chorus.

2022-06-11 02:40:50 +0000 UTC

Since you guys mentioned reaction to kdramas, I heavily recommend reacting to 'Save Me'. This isn't a romance kdrama but it is insanely good! It's pretty underrated too. If you guys want a cute rom-com then I'd recommend 'my love from the star' or 'crash landing on you.' If you guys want a more popular thriller then I'd recommend squid game or All of us are dead.

2022-06-11 02:38:43 +0000 UTC

Lol im laughing at the confusing of both run which both In the album btw and when they sing run its means hard working 1-run BTS is about how they got to where they are . 2- run is not actually love song its about how they need each other and get through the hard time especially at the time it was released …also its seems some of the translation is not well 😭😭

2022-06-11 02:34:36 +0000 UTC

A k-drama that I highly suggest for y’all to watch is Vincenzo. It’s basically about this Mafia lawyer who returns to South Korea trying to look for something very important (not gonna spoil what it is, although it isn’t that big of spoiler). Anyway, it’s a very funny k-drama and there’s also some romance for Steph 👀. It gets pretty serious at times, don’t worry. Y’all would definitely enjoy it.

Annie

2022-06-11 02:33:15 +0000 UTC

So, for "Run" y'all actually reacted to "Run BTS" which is a new song -- it's the 1st track from CD 2...but it's all good!! Just a heads up for CD 2, each member chose 2 b-side tracks (one solo and one sub-unit) for the album. You might want to watch or react to their "Proof of Inspiration" videos to see why they chose these particular songs. I've linked them below for you!

2022-06-11 02:27:59 +0000 UTC

HaNo0onat

2022-06-11 02:27:43 +0000 UTC

YES please react to to kdrama theres so many good ones but it really depends on your preference, some popular ones are crash landing on you, its okay to not be okay, squid game, All of u are dead, Alice in Borderland, my name, itaewon class, Kingdom , Goblin, Mr.Sunshine extc these are the ones from the top of my head

Alex Yeezus

2022-06-11 02:27:23 +0000 UTC

CD 1 is just all their title tracks (main single of an album) in release order, just so y’all know, except for Born Singer which came out in 2015. There’s not really a story being told in CD 1 except for them growing up and becoming who they are today.

Annie

2022-06-11 02:13:30 +0000 UTC

Except for Born Singer the songs on CD1 were Title Tracks from all their previous albums. For CD2 they picked a solo song that represented themselves as well as 1 subunit song each. The songs on CD 2 are B-sides with the addiction of a new song called RUN BTS, first track on that CD. Which you guys did in this reaction.

Limericks

2022-06-11 02:13:17 +0000 UTC

So glad you're finally getting to see the lyrics to these songs. The best way to support the guys and get the best translations possible is to listen to it on spotify while simultaneously following along the lyrics on https://doolsetbangtan.wordpress.com/proof/ doolsetbangtan is a translation website for bts' music run by army translators and they really provide the most accurate translations with the best nuance and explanations for cultural references. I would also really really recommend you revisit the lyrics to born singer in your next reaction because that video did not at all do them justice. Color-coded lyrics can be helpful but they're also way more likely to have incorrect translations - jaeguchi is the worst at this, and lemoring isn't as bad but its definitely not the best option.

Constant Confusion

2022-06-11 02:09:29 +0000 UTC

This is so exciting! I have a recommendation for disc 3. Since it’s all demos maybe listen to the official version of those songs before or after? It could be a cool experience for you and us!

2022-06-11 02:04:26 +0000 UTC

Definitely, your reaction is the best. Also, for their earlier songs like I NEED U or Run, they would always state that those songs are serenades to our own youth. Like literally our youth days, which is probably why they put it in their anthology, as it would best describe how they felt in 2015 - 2016. Anyways, love your reaction, can't wait for SOOP and CD 2 next week💜

Bts Proof CD 1 Reaction

Comments

If you want to react to the boys rapping fast you should react to their cyphers 1,2,3,4

So I like these too (the color coded lyrics) but sometimes they get who’s singing the lyric wrong… so I also love live performances as well

"Born singer" that high note at the end was Jungkook. "Spring day" lyric distribution is wrong. J-Hope doesn't have any lines in cd version only in live version. I don't know if you realised song on this album are title songs. Halsy gets line in spotify version. "Yet to come" is about pandemic.

Why you are so rude? They share their thoughts with each other and with us - isn't that great? Moreover, sometimes people just want to enjoy the music and melody of the song. That's good, too.

'Af taehyung' and 'Zati Farhani' have the best color coded lyrics, a lot of channels half ass the translations and just dont do a good job. Spring Day is more about grief and mourning someone (a friend) who has passed. Life goes on was released during the height of the pandemic. Its about covid.

SPRING DAY is about missing someone but not in a relationship way, more like passing away

OK. My top three Kdramas are Vincenzo, What's Wrong with Secretary Kim, and Fight for My Way. I like the ones that are comedic! You can't go wrong with any of these three!

Wait omg if ya'll are serious about reacting to a Kdrama check out it's okay not to be okay- that kdrama was SO good it's insane

Omg no please don't apologize for just reading the lyrics- I personally love seeing that ya'll are actually reading it and acknowledging the lyrics, so please react comfortably ^_^

run bts is a new song btw

cd1 has title tracks, that is why boy in luv is included and it is a part of their career story

oh lyric videos are often not accurate (wrong members and translations) and some channels like lemoring and jaeguchi make money off of bts illegally, i recommend looking up lyrics on a site called doolsetbangtan if you want the correct translation with explanations

you guys should react to a Chinese drama called falling into your smile it's on Netflix it's a good series

you should definitely react/watch kdramas such as sweet home, my name, alice in borderland (jdrama) etc as they are thriller/horror and they are so good!! you guys could also react to the bts festa videos which comes out today at 8am ET on bts youtube channel :)))

https://youtu.be/9sJ_I1lHpps Please react to Born Singer, Yet To Come and For Youth live! It came out 3h ago

yes, it was so beautiful! hope they will react to it <3

They just released this live today (its pre-revorded but they are still singing live ), I thought it would be nice if you guys checked this out https://youtu.be/9sJ_I1lHpps

It’s okey not to be okey is my all time favourite. But be prepared to cry

Hope you guys release this on YouTube too! Would be really cool for others who aren’t subscribed to your Patreon hear what you have to say about the album, specially the last part.💜

I recommend Goblin(Aka Guardian: The Lonely and Great God)!

RunBTS is their new track released along with Yet to come and youth... LOL

Still waiting for more demon slayer!

You should check out the drama Strong Girl Bong-soon. It is really good. I think you guys would enjoy it.

If you wanna do Kdrama reaction in the future no rush of course:) I would recommend: Strong Girl Bong-soon You can find it on the app Viki I believe

for k-dramas id recommend hometown cha-cha-cha or it's okay to not be okay ! :3

stop omg that one is perfectt

for kdrama i think steph will love “hometown cha cha cha” its one of my fav romcoms bc its not stressful to watch (no toxic relationships or those cliché crazy ex 😭)

Yaaaaaas

Honestly I loved this reaction. You guys are one of my faves. And I enjoy the dancing. I think its so cute. Lmao. Also since you guys watched all of their videos do you plan on watching all of their dance practices??

I don't understand how I deleted my comment sadly I don't want to write the whole thing again which was a very detailed synopsis of the dramas. Here are my recommendations: 1) Our beloved summer 2) Crash Landing On You 3) Vincenzo 4) "W" 5) Vagabond 6) Its okay not to be okay 7) Kingdom

I second that

I'm excited to listen to CD 2 with you guys!

Love this reaction, if you would like to react to a kdrama I would recommend IT’S OKAY TO NOT BE OKAY.😊

Yeeeess!!! it would be awesome if you watch a full concert!!! it would be so fun bc you are not used to see their performances.

Guys please watch their pitchfork interview where they quickly explain their albums https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt9x61AL50E

You guys should check out their Online Concert called “ON:E”. It was held during the pandemic and it’s amazing.

Here’s a playlist of the Proof of Inspiration videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLibo3gC6SteFAAse8TF-aFL2ikVp8WNZP

Leí tu comentario y me dieron ganas de verla jaja no soy de ver kdramas, de hecho este es el segundo que veré y está muy bueno, recién me terminé el segundo capítulo, tuve que saltarme la parte donde iban a matar una gallina parece 😥

The Run Bts that you listened was the new song but it's really a Bop <3 and if you are interested in watching kdramas, I highly recommend "Vincenzo" is such a good kdrama and it keeps you engaged every chapter

OMGGGGG! I loved your reaction, I loved watching you enjoying and understanding their lyrics, this is so cool! can't wait for the reaction of CD 2 and 3! and can't wait for you to listen to Cypher pt:3

You explained it perfectly!!! Hope they read this comment, maybe you could send through a message too so they can for sure see it because i don't really know if they really read the comments here

I would recommend when you listen to CD3 that you listen to the final version of the song first (if you haven't already heard it) and then the demo version afterwards (or in reverse) 😊

One thing I have to say is that Lemoring's translations are not always the best, they do them in a hurry the second the song is released so usually there's a lot of errors. One channel in particular I recommend is "af taehyung" they make great color coded lyric videos!

I really recommend you guys to watch BTS songs explained by korean on DKDKTV youtube channel, so you can have a better point of view and understand the culture more, why bts wrote those lyrics.

I’m so excited for you to listen to their b-sides! Would you guys like to react to one of their online concerts? That’d be really cool. I think the BTS ON:E concert is amazing, you should check it out.

Won't their schedule be too tight if they start a kdrama?

I loved CLOY and It's OK to Not Be OK

I'd be so stoked if you guys ever react to a kdrama. crash landing on you is one of my all time favs along with flower of evil, hotel del luna, and it's okay to not be okay

Please check out "BTS-ON Music Video Real Meaning Explained and Full Analysis" by "Bookish Theories"

BLOOD SWEAT and TEARS is heavily influenced by the novel DEMIAN by Hermann Hesse. The song is about youth’s fall into temptation and loss of innocence

most of my favorites are actually B-sides haha. If you ever want to react to those, I'll glady make a playlist for you :) for the title tracks on this album it's probaly Run, Blood Sweat & Tears, Spring Day, Fake Love and Idol

so love your reactions thank you so much!!!!! :))

If you guys REALLY want to cry you should watch the explanation of the Spring Day music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrT4a_Fw6pE lololol Wes Snowpiercer is a movie!

agree

amen

omggggggggggg yeeeeeees pleaaaaase

I really like watching you guys looking into their lyrics! Lyrics reaction is especially interesting to me because our interpretation is always not the same cause we all have different experiences in life and it is not a matter of right and wrong. Looking forward to more!!

if you'll do a kdrama do 'goblin' I don't watch a lot but it's my favorite kdrama

YEEES! a great idea!!!

I cry every time I watch and have seen the explenation so many times

Yeeeeeeeeessss!

Haha the first "Run" song you listened to is Run BTS and it's on CD 2 of Proof, it's one of the new songs :D

Are we getting demon slayer today instead?

Thank u for posting this!

I’d suggest you wait before reacting to kdramas, we still waiting for more Von Voyage, In The Soop, Run Bts, Rise of Bangtan episodes that adding k dramas would be too much for you guys because we’ll be demanding more content since we enjoy watching all this with you 🥺💜

I can't wait for CD2!! It has some of my favorite songs and I don't think you guys have listened to some of them yet.

CRASH LANDING ON YOU! Yassss!

I would soooo recommend CRASH LANDING ON YOU. The comedy the romance and the drama and the cultural references on both North and South Korea are all successfully blended and all freshly done and spot on.

thanks for this! can't wait for cd2 and cd3. also, I hope you 2 are able to react to their dance practices soon. they're so fun to watch

I don't usually comment, but since you asked for a kdrama, I'll definitely recommend "flower of evil" it's a mix of romance, mystery, action... I've watched a lot of kdramas but this one is my favorite.

If you want the deep lyrics you have to react to all the bts albums, because title tracks are less secific, but the rest of the albums have tracks with deep and cool lyrics

Thanks for reacting to this!! FYI, Life Goes On is a song about pandemic. CD1 tracklist consists of all their title songs. CD2 tracklist are B sides that the members choose. CD3 are demos for sone of their songs from members.

A girl can call a close older guy friend "Oppa", her boyfriend "Oppa" and her actual big brother "Oppa" but it all just means an older brother. A guy will use the term "Hyung" to refer to an older brother

Fun fact, I NEED U lyrics in the beginning was "I need u friend" but that doesn't sound as good as girl. That's why the MV doesn't match the lyrics, they weren't intended for a love romance

The first CD is just all the track list + born singer and the new track list. Tell their story in the music industry

I won’t say it “has” romantic connotations, because it definitely doesn’t in general. It “can” have romantic connotations, but it’s literally used for just older males, nothing romantic.

If you'd react to a K-drama, I'd suggest my all-time favorite "My Love From The Star" starring Kim Soo-hyun and Jun Ji-hyun. If you haven't watched it yet, I highly recommend it. I re-watched it once or twice every year so the story is always fresh in my mind. That's how good the story is for me.

"Crash landing on you" is a great drama to start with. You can learn about North Korean culture and South Korean culture throught this drama. And maybe you guys can make a poll so everyone can vote together.
