BTS 'RUN' (MV + Dance + Live)
WE ARE VERY LOST, BUT THIS IS SOOO INTERESTING
We did mention we want an explanation video but please let us know if you guys just want us to keep watching more MVs (pls tell us which ones) and try to figure it out ourselves. Thanks for watching 🤍

guys since you're confused (which is very understandable since you don't know anything about the BU) please PLEASE watch xCeleste's BTS STORYLINE SUMMARY, it will explain everything and absolutely blow your mind. I promise you'll respect BTS even more from a creative aspect. They are genuinely artist in every sense of the world.
The I need you, Butterfly and Run bts are part of a kind of unofficial trilogy in bangtan universe and are interconnected.
Please watch jump
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
In the end of the choreographie you can see that they are forming a butterfly with their bodys. Loved your reaction 💜
I think its better to watch the music videos and other shorts related to the bangtan universe than follow up with an explanation video to connect the rest. Watching an explanation video now may spoil some of the plot if u haven't watched some videos yet like butterfly, prologue, highlight reel, the euphoria mv and the wings short. Plus the universe can be confusing without the webtoon and hyyh notes explanation
i think they should watch xCeleste's explanation before all of this and so when they are watching the short films, they aren't confused as to what is happening.
You neeeeeedddd to watch the BU explanation video by Xcelest. Its going to blow your mind kkkkkkkk
Thank you,guys
Don’t watch explanation videos for BU videos. Think you would have fun diving into finding clues, piecing things together & figuring it all out. AFTER watching all their BU MVs & short films… THEN watch a BU Explanation video to see what you got right & what you missed. But of course, your call on whether you want to go down that rabbit hole lol.
Yes! I think we all collectively try to avoid explaining. Because figuring out the story is part of the ARMY journey.
GUYS LISTEN IDK IF ITS TOO EARLY FOR THIS, but u guys really need to watch bts storyline summary + explanation, heres the link https://youtu.be/2-DEu3ZJtEU?si=zOCM_K5sGwp2AvJ5
Aww… don’t ruin their BU experience with spoilers. Let them decide if they want to try to figure it all first. 😂
The camerawork and the lights in the live performance made me dizzy.
Atp you should watch BU explanation video.
Noooo…. don’t ruin the BU experience with spoilers. I want to enjoy watching them try to figure it all out first. 😂
I genuinely think that when you guys start the BU (if you decide to) y'all will actually interpret it better or at least a little further than other armies have cause some if not all of us still have questions and hyyh era (run, young forever I need you etc..) has been over. Me being one of them lol
💜💜💜💜
Now that i see orange-hair Jimin I really need them to do a series of BTS covers like "Perfect Man", "Rainism", "Arirang" and "As I told you"!!!

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2F5V3MBSw3Ct6S2YVNilkyjtNZJMr014&si=b8fsKQaUHmye2q5U BTSuniverseのストーリーラインの動画です。もう観たものは飛ばしても良いのでこちらの動画を順番に観て欲しいです。
What you need to watch next is On Stage: Prologue, which is the continuation of this story. First of all, all of them are very close friends, but some of them are closer to each other. These pairs are: Jimin–J-Hope, Suga–Jungkook, and RM–V. Jin, on the other hand, is the one who observes and records all the events. When these seven friends are living the happiest moments of their lives, all of their lives suddenly start to fall apart in different ways. The one who tries to bring everything back together is Jin. That is why we see the pairs I mentioned earlier together in the music video. Also, J-Hope seems to have narcolepsy, which is a sleep disorder that causes sudden sleep attacks. He is in the same hospital as Jimin. As an additional detail, as you know, Tae didn’t die in the I Need U music video — he was on the side of the one who killed. In other words, he was the one who committed the murder. This shows that Tae actually has a rebellious and dark side. And while Jin is trying to fix everything, he often ends up facing Tae because of this. After On Stage: Prologue, you should also watch the Highlight Reels and the Euphoria music video to fully understand the story.
Why are you ruining their BU experience with spoilers!? Nooooo. Ugh. 😣
Pls react to bu universe explanation 🙏🏻😭
i think you should watch all the MV related to BU first then discuss the theory yourselves then we can continue to explanation videos!
FACTSS
You guys need to watch the BtS Universe explanation video by xCeleste. This whole storyline of The Most Beautiful Moment in Life is a fictional story.
You should react bts universe
I really recommend you watch the BU (BTS UNIVERSE), it will make everything clear and it's such an important and interesting touch that BTS have added to their music and masterpieces. I highly recommend checking out xCeleste's BTS STORYLINE SUMMARY video, she covers everything and makes it so easy to understand the story line and the ideas behind each video.
100%!!!
It's speculated that Jimin and Hobi both woke up in the hospital due to their su*c*de attempts OR that their attempts succeeded and that they're both in purgatory. Also hints at the songs, "House of Cards", "Butterfly" I see "RUN" as a prequel to "I NEED U" but Jin is the one that seems to be having a sense of deja vu. Like the close ups and facial changes is them remembering.
don't spoil here, just tell them to watch the BU, don't say what happened.
I suggest looking up videos about the Bangtan Universe (BU) it'll explain a little more about the story line
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFl0pT9KHUgWJwB4wz04j8L2kegbgVejF&si=-MxLOKcrRgk-y-bB use this playlist to watch the BU mvs in order
Fun fact about this MV and I Need U! The company was still a little broke at the time (even as bts was rising to fame) that they didn't have enough money to pay for extras, so all the extras on set were Staff working! The guys beating up Jungkook in INU, the cops, the cars in the tunnel! All staff!
Hopefully you guys react to the Prologue! It's a continuation of the previous MV. ♡ Love your reactions as always. You definitely need to watch some explanation of some of the deeper things you can't catch right off the bat. But regardless, it's entertaining to watch you all try to break the BU down. ♡
You guys forgot to watch the “BTS on stage prologue” with English subs. It’s not a music video, but it’s a short video that’s part of the storyline. It was released before RUN, and adds context for why V is in the water in the RUN mv. Then after RUN is “epilogue: young forever” which is a song/music video
Oh goodness, I fear it’s time for you guys to learn the hyyh lore😭🙏🏾
I recommend watching all BU related content first and if you don't understand, X Celeste's videos are very helpful!
Honestly I would prefer to continue with MV. The BU isn’t really necessary but it’s up to yall.
I think the BU is necessary cause it ties into all their music videos and can get confusing but it's part of what BTS is!
The X Celeste video explanada the BU very well
Tbh if you want explaination for it you’ll get spoiled about next bts songs the whole bu storyline runs thru bts mv’s for years imagine we had to wait for 2-3 years to know the next story but there are many videos made by army summarising every video and the story as a whole it would be bettter to watch it after you watched all the bts bu related music videos
I'm glad you guys clocked the pairing, as its important to the storyline, V and RM - Jimin and Jhope - SUGA and Jungkook. Then there is Jin who is the protagonist. People view the pairings in different ways, dating, best friends, or just a strong connection between them, it's not really confirmed.
Guys you need to react to “ love yourself: highlight reel”
This is a part of BU, but first react to “butterfly”
ohh I just LOVE the way you guys analyze music and concepts 🫠🫠🫀 thank you for the reaction! 🫶🏻 (in case you’re ever curious about exploring more k-pop in the future i would totally recommend stray kids. no expectations or pressure at all, just a friendly heads-up!)
Please react to Boy in luv, fire and war of hormone !!
They’re on Patreon in the subscription access part
Please react to "Butterfly"🥹. It is an integral part of the BU storyline. You cannot miss it. Also one of my favorites.
I have a Playlist with the correct order for the BTS BU Storyline and the explanation, I highly recommend you do it right to understand: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFl0pT9KHUgWJwB4wz04j8L2kegbgVejF&si=-MxLOKcrRgk-y-bB After time, you can read their Webtoon "Save Me" or investigate additional information in their albums if it's your style, or watch their new K-drama where actors were especially selected for each story, it's really emotional.
it's beautiful but i think they should react to xCeleste's explanation before watching the content, then they proceed with the other you gave. Otherwise, I am not sure it'd be easy for them to connect the dots alone.
Guysss not sure if you already know but for the live performances, Big Hit releases OFFICIAL FAN CHANTS for every song that they would do and shout while BTS performs in these music shows. It goes for all Kpop groups. It's so that the audience wouldn't scream over the idols' vocals, neither they'd drown the boys' voices if they ever sing along. So the fan chants were really designed to be shouted at their designated cues 💜
The perfect example that sometimes being stupid together is much better than being broken alone and apart as people :)
Now you need Butterfly and Prologue :D
What does it all mean? That's the question. I'm a certified BU nerd so I think the explanation videos should be left alone for now and just explore it on your own. Without the WebToon and the Notes it's hard to really understand. So just have fun and learn the story the same way we did, no explantion...just the question, what does it all mean?
I also HIGHLY recommend Not Today! The MV is epic and the dancing is so crazy in the live. Watch the concert stage mix version https://youtu.be/cKdDVRHBqf0?si=gS0an5vAxPoMEiAm
Recommending UGH (rap line) along with the DKDKTV explanation video and the live performance from their last full group concert in Busan 2022. Also Butterfly (vocal line) and its live performance from Busan. You guys have mentioned noticing their growth when they perform their earlier songs later in their career, and I feel like these 2 really illustrate that!
Really love your reactions, and it's so fun to see how invested and locked in you guys are in understanding what the meanings are in the MV. It's really interesting! Hope you also watch the WINGS short clips to see more about BU (Bangtan Universe). Btw, Spring Day is also part of BU, but I Need U is the beginning of the storyline. More power and success, Ralaz React! You guys are going viral in ARMY twt, and we love how genuine you all are. Keep up the great work <3
I would love for them to react to BEGINS YOUTH
Prepare for a Long explaination In the Bangtan Universe, Run represents the stage of youth where pain becomes familiar and therefore easier to return to than healing. Following I Need U, the characters are already emotionally unstable and afraid of being alone. In Run, running does not mean escape it means repetition. They keep going back to the same people, emotions, and mistakes even though they know it hurts, because stopping would force them to face emptiness and guilt. Lyrically, Run is about loving and holding on despite knowing the ending will be painful. It captures a mindset where intensity is confused with meaning and suffering with love. The boys are not choosing pain because they want it they choose it because it feels safer than feeling nothing. The music video shows this through constant movement: running, fighting, laughing, drinking. These moments look free but are actually distractions. The characters never slow down because stillness would make them confront their trauma. The warmth of friendship exists, but it is unstable and often followed by isolation or violence, showing that connection alone cannot save them at this point. The train imagery symbolizes time and inevitability. No matter how fast they run, consequences follow. Unlike I Need U, where the pain is confused, Run is tragic because the characters are aware things are falling apart and still keep going. It is the last stage before irreversible loss in the BU. In essence: Run is about continuing what hurts you because you are not ready to face yourself without it.
Excellent explanation!! 10/10!! 💜
I hope we guys just enjoy first the music and the mv's without complicating it with a lot of BU (BTS universe) theories. Just keep in mind that some of their mv's were interconnected and they're playing different sort of characters. Just pls enjoy watching them first, the lyrics, the dance and the vocals 🥰💜
I definitely recommend watching all the remaining MVs first e.g. Fire, Boy in Luv, Make it Right etc. and then heading into the BU where you can find chronological explanation to all of the music videos. It is lowk confusing but very very entertaining and you guys are smart with amazing memory so I'm sure you will love it.
story linked with butterfly effects,, its pretty interesting
They missed Butterfly prologue, narratively doesn't that come right after I NEED U?
Mint hair Yoongi you will always be famous
Please watch their concert videos!!!
Another great reaction video! Just a small suggestion to make it even better: for live performances, concert footage would be much cooler than music show performances
You really need to watch the prologue hehehe Some of the hints are there. But please watch the video with subs and not the one in their channel. But you interpreted the song nicely. Your insights about the song are really good. Hoping to see your own theories about the BU.
Please watch bts film out its an amazing song and the live version is even better
You didn't notice that "butterfly" is playing at the credits of the RUN MV and with the dance practice and live, their ending pose is a butterfly. ✌️
To be honest, if you're only watching the MVs it's hard to understand the story! Each album came packaged with a little booklet containing snippets of a story, made up of chapters following the character versions of BTS as they go through the hardships in the MVs. Each album had an incomplete story that we had to piece together! The booklets and some extras are collected together in two books named "The Notes" volumes 1 and 2, which gives a looot more info on what the hell is happening lol. But as people have linked below, explanation videos exist! I still think you should keep watching MVs first, so you have the context of the MVs for any explanation videos you watch, since they'll refer to the MVs.
You guys have started to notice the character pairings! In this series of MVs, the characters linked together are RM+V, Jimin+J-Hope and Suga+Jungkook, then Jin by himself. In terms of music videos/films that contain these characters: - I Need U - Run - HYYH On Stage: Prologue - Epilogue: Young Forever - the "Wings short film" series, which is MVs for the solos from Wings, one per character - Blood Sweat and Tears (not strictly BU but Jin has some weirdness happening that links to his BU character) - Love Yourself Highlight Reel - Euphoria (focus on JK's character, some similar scenes to the HYYH Prologue) - Fake Love (now you've seen the earlier MVs you should recognise the character associations in this one!) - Fake Love extended version - Epiphany (focus on Jin's chara)
React to prologue
Welcome to BTS Universe. This is one of the best explanation vid by XCeleste. (https://youtu.be/2-DEu3ZJtEU?si=i7xh8uHP1k0T731s). Hope you can give it a watch. Then you'll be able to understand the earlier MVs better.
I would only recommend this AFTER you guys give it a go yourselves (since you mentioned wanting to figure it out).
The song you hear during credits of Run MV is called “Butterfly” one of my personal favourites from them. It would be nice that while you guys are going through the BU journey, you guys also listen to songs of the album the title tracks are from. There are real gems in there, don’t miss out.
You guys should watch On Stage Prologue too. Technically it is supposed to come after I Need U but you guys have already watched Run.
time for 333 I say it’s time for you guys to watch fire!!! The choreo is top notch 💜💜
I will be in the minority here but I’d like to suggest you keep your focus on the music. Overlooking tracks without music videos in favour of the BU is doing yourselves a disservice. There are so many great old songs you haven’t heard yet; Like, Attack on Bangtan, Coffee, Paldogangsan, Hip Hop Phile, Let Me Know, Look Here … Please enhance your appreciation of BTS’ growth and development by listening to what they had to say in their early years.
Welcome to BU! You should watch explanation video about Bangtan Universe (BU) by XCeleste
BROOOO YOU BETTER WATCH HYYH ON STAGE PROLOGUE before this MV!!! (Or in this case after watching RuN MV)
Fist of all, the BU is not about girls or being hurt by any. It is so much deeper than that. Here is something I found online that gives you a good idea what the BU is: "The BU tells the story of seven friends who are tied by fate and find themselves caught in a cycle of repeated suffering. As they all go their separate ways and face various hardships, one of them is given the opportunity to go back in time to bring them all back together and try and set things right. Note: While the BU characters have the BTS members’ likenesses, these are fictional characters and these events did NOT happen in real life". If you guys do want to learn about the BU, I would highly suggest you watch the guide for it made by Xceleste. She does a great job of breaking it all down and explaining it. Warning though, it can be confusing and it has many different twists and turns. And the full story line involves over 20 videos. So it is up to you guys if you want to put in the time to learn it all. Or you can just enjoy the MV's and know that a lot of them are fictional and part of a story. ARMY will support whatever you guys do 💜💜💜
Are you gonna do a New Year's day special?
welcome to the BU
HAHA! Welcome to the complex but very well thought of Bangtan Universe lore 🤣 Like what the others recommended, it's probably best you guys watch the explanation vids by XCeleste about Bangtan Universe (BU) to save you guys the time and so you'll be ready by the time BTS comes back in March (or at least that's the speculation lol). There's A LOT of content to go through music-wise and entertainment-wise (variety shows etc) and there's still chapter 2 (solo releases) to uncover before the full group BTS comeback. I think it's best to keep it chronological so you guys see Bangtan's growth throughout the years as a group and as individuals with their music releases as main focus and then, you can just do the entertainment shows (Run BTS, Bon Voyage, In the Soop etc. when you have spare time or at least once a week maybe? Depending on the schedue you guys plan on setting.
Also worth mentioning that they have a platform called Weverse where they upload contents and go live to communicate with ARMYs. If you guys want to be in the loop for latest updates about anything Bangtan, it's a good place to start. You guys can join the BTS community there. Membership is available for fans but you can still join without it. Just doesn't include exclusive membership contents but you can access their weverse lives. ☺️
In concert, they have so much fun. So, it's better to watch the concerts live. I swear it on my life.
I don't know what others have suggested, but personally, I'd suggest you to watch the explanation videos. The BU (BTS Universe) is a very complex story and is not limited to one source (e.g. music videos) only, so for you to get the gist of that entire world and story, it would be better to watch an explanation video by XCeleste. That way you won't get too overwhelmed, too.
This may be a good approach.. you make a good point, because it involves save me webtoon, bts universe game, and also HYYH notes
please, please, please I really like that you guys are watching the live, but it would be better to watch both the music stage, the old one and the newer one at the concert. The energy of the concert ones is insane. That way, you can see how they have improved a lot. So much more confidence.
What I did was I watched the videos and then found the explanation videos on YT. It's an interesting and fun thing to get into the BU (BTS Universe). TBH, it is a complex story and it is not easy to take it all apart. You can still talk and reflect a lot even if you watch the explanation. For sure I would not have been able to figure this all out alone just from the videos and lyrics. IMO you should watch the XCeleste videoand if you want, later, watch the series: As mentioned below by ARMY, there is a 12-part tv series called Begins ≠Youth. It tells the stories of 7 boys, inspired by BTS. It is a real tv show with real actors. The BU is a fictional story with BTS acting as the 7 boys. (None of the things mentioned in the BU are related to the real members.) I watched it and I really enjoyed it. It is very heartfelt and deep.
BTS COMEBACK MARCH 20TH CONFIRMED (via Bighit official twt) 💜
I just want to reassure you guys that you don't need to understand the BTS Universe storyline to be into BTS- it's REALLY complex!! But this is a popular explanation of the whole BTS Universe storyline by a respected ARMY youtuber XCeleste: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-DEu3ZJtEU
Despite what many say, lyrics are connected, the theme of the most beautiful moment in life is the fragility of youth, so it does connect to the video. BTS lyrics say no matter what your scars, keep running toward your dream. On stage Prologue was supposed to be watched between I need u and Run. It gives context to Tae's scene at the beginning. Hopefully u guys will react to this also. :)
There’s a video by this channel called xceleste from 2020 where she gives a full deepdive into the whole BU (Bangtan universe), I would 100% recommend it, and it may even surprise you with the level of detail that is incorporated in this story!! Also there is a kdrama inspired by the BU called begins≠youth which would be amazing for you to check out on your other Patreon!! Sorry for the yap sesh 🫶🏻🫶🏻
Correct! 💜 If I may add, it doesn't have to be on their other Patreon... I'd watch it with RR because it is BTS related, but I don't want to sub to another channel.
The concert lives are always a bit better than the TV showcase lives (like mcountdown, ikigayo etc) in my opinion, but still cool!!!
Just for context - the "girl" wasn't originally in the I Need U lyrics, the lyrics were originally going to be "I need you, friend" which I think fits better with the storyline and makes it make more sense.
I've been an ARMY for like 6 yrs and I still don't completely understand the BU, but it's so creative and fun and I'd never seen a music group before build such a detailed and creative way of engaging fans
this is my favorite bts song, there's something so beautiful and painful about this song that I feel everything I listen to it
I think you should watch things and try to figure it out on your own then watch the explanation after. You guys have lots of MVS and music to catch up on before the comeback!!!
Fire and baepsae left and you can watch the medley!!
This is a classic army “test” Run BTS, Run BTS, and Run by BTS…passing fans won’t know that there’s a difference ;) Also congrats you’ve entered the infamous “The Most Beautiful Moment in Life (HHYH) BTS universe” this is when they finally broke out and the amount of content they filmed for this will blow your mind. It can be VERY confusing! Personally I watched all the MVs/videos first then watched multiple explanation vids, however I don’t think there’s necessarily a wrong way to watch. Here is a link to a VERY long explanation video. https://youtu.be/2-DEu3ZJtEU?si=WDmfpuT2YVX_y74L
Once you check out the explanation about the hyyh era, you’re gonna fall in love with them even more. There is a whole webtoon called save me (there is also a song from that album) about this. Such a masterpiece. BTS are truly geniuses 💜
The song at the end is 'Butterfly'! There is a separate MV for it (although it is a slightly different version of the song) that I think is worth watching now that you guys are getting into the BU!
The Bangtan Universe was Suga's idea. The best YouTube channel that I have found for this content is Bookish Theories. She has multiple videos explaining the Universe and the video meanings.
Yes I love Bookish Theories videos
I love how you guys are already putting together the scenes from the I Need U and Run, you guys are definitely on the right track. Every part of this MV is so important for the BU storyline. The butterfly represents the butterfly effect where one idea or action can change the course of the outcome in an unpredictable way.
Thank you guys for this reaction, but you actually missed a short film video that goes in-between the I Need U and RUN MVs, it's called The Most Beautiful Moment In Life: Prologue. The song playing during the credits is called Butterfly, they also play it in the background of the Prologue. Here's a link to it with English Subs - https://youtu.be/7xVah8oLJmk?si=gcGK9VlDhgXdLwSN Also pay close attention to who and how many members are in those polaroid photos
are they trying to do the BU? cause if theyre just doing the mvs/songs in the rise of bangtan idk if they should do bu at the same time. they seem to know the members well but we also dont want them to get confused lol idk if they said theyre doing the BU or not rn so let me know if they did
💜🫰🏽💜🫰🏽 Happy New Year! 🥳🥂🎆💜
You guys should watch Begin=youth drama based on BTS storyline the actors are playing BTS character's role don't need to reach but watch for yourself....
Do you know where to watch it with English subs?
Happy new year, guys! 🫶🏻
day 2 of asking you to react to JIMINS filter (day 2) peformance!
Can't wait for Epilogue and Butterfly!
you guys should read the “save me” webtoon!! it might be hard/weird to get reactions so if you choose to do it offscreen, you should do a recap/thoughts video after 🙌🏼
Guys u need to check out their performance medley its so fuun
In regards to your caption, as good as you guys are are figuring out theories (literally the best reactors I've seen connecting the dots), I suggest watching the BU explanation video as the storyline includes not just MV's, but also a game, a webtoon, and many other things that all tie into the storyline. I suggest this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-DEu3ZJtEU
When you get to "The Most Beautiful Moment In Life Part 2" PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do Butterfly!!!
You gotta check out Anpanman, the live version! There are two types, one where they do choreography and the other where they are playing with inflatables 😅 great song and choreo as always
If you guys want to figure it out first before watching an explanation video! please watch this in this order it has all BU (bangtan universe storyline) mvs that are connected :) but it’s a lot in telling you… you could could make a series out of this if you guys like re watching every mv cause it is eveything is connected you guys can come up with theories 1.I need u-explicit (The most beautiful moment in life in stage prologue) 2.Run bts mv 3. japanese i need you+Run (both japanese version for both) 4. Young forever 5. the wings short films (all seven theres each one for each member) 6. Blood sweat and tears + japanese version + teaser 7. Love yourself highlight reel (13:03 mins) + eduphoria mv official mv (jungkook in a yellow jacket on the cover) 8. Fake love official extended version 9. Epiphany come back trailer 10. Bts universe story map of the soul (10:17 mins) 11.bts storyline explained + summary https://youtu.be/2-DEu3ZJtEU?si=LxZg6vG6dID6qTQk she explains it so well!
You should add the Most Beautiful Moment in Life: Prologue video in between I Need U and RUN💜
Oh my guys! you are catching so many key details. You saw the pairing of RM and V (notice the others, and who isn't?), Jin's expression. In I Need You you noticed the fire and water, and the flower Jin had. I would love to see you guys go down the BU rabbit hole. For the BU there is a film that goes between I Need You MV and Run MV. I linked it in my comment for I Need You and I will link it here again. The explanation videos tell the YouTuber's version and interpretation of the BU storyline. I would rather you guys piece it together as old school ARMYs did. BTW, it is very important that you watch the videos to the very end and notice those details. HYYH On Stage: Prologue with automatic subs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xVah8oLJmk&t=565s
yesss react to butterfly! that is the song playing at the end!
Please watch their live stages of their own concerts etc, these are music show come back stages that you always watch and the camera work is ass the, sometimes the mics have issues, they don’t have that much room to dance compared to their own stages etc etc.
Run is such a great song! It's not just a vibe to sing along to, it feels like an anthem! Running no matter what: knowing its okay to fall, to fail, but to get up and run more and run anyways despite it all. It's amazing, and it definitely feels personal towards the boys, but it is a song many people can relate to!
The BU can be very confusing lol but it is so interesting and fun to uncover!! I think watching some more on the BU with the MVs would be good before going into the explanation videos of it. There is a LOT for the Bangtan Universe and trying to understanding it all at once can be overwhelming. Take your time and discover it more and come up with your theories! Then go into the explanations and see how it all ties in together.
I beg you watch the BU (BTS Universe), there is this amazing explanation from xCeleste called BTS STORYLINE SUMMARY and it would answer all of your questions. I promise !!
You should also watch BTS: prologue (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bt8648TNX1M&pp=ygUMYnRzIHByb2xvZ3Vl) which in the story takes place before RUN, it will help you understand better what is happening, especially if you plan on going deeper into the story with future videos. Also, lyrics are not really connected with the story here, so you can pay more attention to what's happening on the screen instead. I would recommend watching all the videos yourself first, coming with your own conslusions, and only then watch some explanation videos.
Yes! Thank you for this comment!
Can I please suggest when you are looking for "Lives". Ive noticed these are music show performances. You guys should consider watching the concert Iives instead. They are more them selves vs. trying to be perfect for the show. (In my opinion) If you feel like asking for suggestions when you're going to do lives I'm sure army would help steer you in the right direction to choose which lives. 💜
The song "Butterfly" was playing in the background of the credits from the MV. Which is also part of the BU. Also, Jin was building the card house. ( BTS has a song House of cards) Everything plays into each other. 😅
Please react to Fire so you can watch MMA 2016 🙏🙏🙏
BigHit provides the fan chant on weverse after a song drops so Armys learn it before they go there
i would maybe recommend watching the 'Wings' solos, which contain some snipets of the lore, but it is still very confusing even for me (i've been an army since 2017 lmao). i think watching in cronological order can help, but look for the additional content (like the wings solos and the LOVE YOURSELF Highlight reel + an explanatory video. Thanks for the reaction!
To understand the bangtan universe you should watch some videos were they explain everything Because the story on the mvs is not lineal so its a little confusing
If you get the webtoons app, you can read the comic that was made for the Bangtan Universe. It's short and doesn't cover everything, but it will at least give you a base idea of what's happening.
Run and Butterfly are literally my Top 2 BTS songs! I love that they are forever linked in this MV. I think they are kind of underrated, though, maybe because they're so embedded in the Bangtan Universe craziness, the songs themselves get kinda overlooked. Butterfly has a beautiful choreo that you guys should definitely check out sometime!! The Bangtan Universe is meant to be confusing; I've been an Army for almost 6 years now and I still don't understand a lot of it, lol. And honestly I don't think it was ever really resolved or completed. I think it was just done as something for Armys to go crazy with theories and have fun with. You guys did great with your observations and gathering pieces of the puzzle!
I think the best way to approach this (if you wanna get into the BU) is to watch all the MVs and short films related to that, try figuring it out on your own first and then lastly watch explanation videos.
Genuinely love you guys sm 💜💜💜 These two MVs are the start of the BTS universe (BU), which is made up of MVs, notes from the albums, a webtoon, a video game, other short films... It's a lot! There's no way you could possibly pick it all up in one go, so there's no need to feel disappointed - as usual, you did well at noticing the details and guessing at possible meanings - which is half the fun. I wouldn't try to understand the BU in one go. There are explanation videos, but honestly they're completely overwhelming, and undermine the fun of picking out details and weaving together the stories contained in the content. The most important thing to understand is that the boys are playing fictional versions of themselves, and the BU embraces the concept of a multiverse. Going forward, I would love to see you react to the 3Js (j-hope, Jimin, JK) Butter dance break, and the Behind the Scenes film of them shooting it. It is the most difficult choreography they've ever done, and their dedication to excellence in the behind the scenes film is sooo impressive
As a baby army I don’t think it’s possible to figure out without some help. The BU is complex with switching time lines and I believe they wanted us to make theories and assumptions but some things are still not clear to this day. It’s meant to be enjoyed and dug into, but don’t let that take away from your enjoyment of the songs and MV’s. There are BU storyline short films that will help. Most of all I think you previously got the main point of it from the last video - which is that together they are happier and apart they go through individual struggles. Each character has their own back story (fictional) and trauma they are dealing with. Please do Butterfly next. It’s beautiful! Then do all the BU short films. There’s an important element of the whole thing you may not guess! You guys are so sharp I am rooting you will!!
omg yay video #2 in the BU! I have a suggestion, go back to the end of the video with Jimin in the bathtub, look at the picture he's holding closely! You're absolutely right about the V and Rm pairing! Can you guess the other pairs? Jin is the main character in this whole Bangtan Universe! I'm soo happy you guys pointed out how he stands out and his facial expressions! Next is the Prologue video others have recommended, and then my fav song "Young Forever"! Welcome to the Rabbit Hole!
The biggest piece of advice is knowing that the lyrics don't really affect the BU storyline. Just focus on what's happening in the videos.
Ah the BU... First thing to remember is that Bangtan Universe (BU) is a pretty complex story line told over time and several medias including their music videos, short film, webtoons, and books. It absolutely is a puzzle revealed piece by piece. You are absolutely meant to be intrigued but not really understand until much later. Because it goes across so much media makes it harder to put the pieces together. ..................................... ........................................ ............................................ without a total spoiler The story involves a fractured reality. Bad things happen. Only one of them realizes and can go back and affect things and that one is trying to fix things back.
*Baepsae *Fire *Not Today *Anpanman *Ma City *Boy in luv (old song) *UGH *MIKROKOSMOS They have to react to those songs. They'll love it. !!
Ralaz has been great analysing and interpreting every detail of bts discography so far, seeing them miss some parts and get confused in the last two videos makes me realise how deep and complicated BU really is 😩😂.
It's confusing even for us, but after learning about the BTS Universe you realize that every detail is important. Maybe it would be interesting to watch an explanatory video about the history of the BU. By the way, Happy New Year!
BAEPSAE BAEPSAE BAEPSAE 💜💜💜
Ouuu I can’t wait for ya‘ll to watch the full storyline!!
What I love about you guys is the genuine interest in our OT7 and what they are trying to convey or the story behind the music… you also are phenomenal in that, despite being confused (let’s face it we all were and some of us still are 🤣), the fact that you picked up on the pairing of the characters in the two music videos… the links between the scenes between the two music vids, the fact that you mentioned this felt like puzzle pieces which it absolutely is… like I’m just blown away at how far you got with it given how new you are to BTS as well as how confusing this whole Bangtan Universe is because of the multi layering of themes/stories/concepts with multiple modes of communicating these through music/MV/webtoon/drama etc especially when you’re at the start. Either way bravo, keep going, I see so much specific advice by more experienced ARMYs here as to how you should go about tackling the BU and I you can’t go wrong listening to them 💜
I think the best thing you can do is watch the BU MVs in order, come up with your own theories, and then watch a video where everything is explained. I think that would be fun ☺️☺️💜
This video explains the HHYH and Wings/You’ll Never Walk Alone eras. Which is the era you are entering. The meaning behind it https://youtu.be/n4o70iBIDNs?si=4CWCJXmYbanMfBet
This also explains the music videos you are watching such as Run, I Need U, Blood Sweat and Tears. Including Butterfly.
happy new year !!!
For this you need to complete with Butterfly which is this end credit song.
شاهدو baepsae الرسالة رائعة
can't wait you guys start reacting to RUN JIN in new year recommend you to do in ep2
Guys go to XCeleste channel on you tube and she explains to BTS Story line think there are 3 video’s that cover up to 2020
💜 https://youtu.be/2PKLsshsuZo?si=TWyuOlqe_hnJqG2F Pls react to this video: Silver spoon/baepsae 🫰
Happy New Year! 💜x7 in 2025! #LoveAllSeven #RoadTo2026
god.. I still can't get over Mint Yoongi.. Hahaha, you're so right to say the live versions are better than the recorded ones. BTS never disappoints. Your reactions are the same; they never disappoint and always brighten my day. Thank you so much! Before 2025 ends, I am so grateful that you have made my 2025 so much more bearable, so much happier, so much more fulfilling, enthusiastic, and full of love. I love you all so much, and I hope 2026 comes to you with all the good wishes that come from your beautiful hearts! 💜💜💜💜
https://youtu.be/2-DEu3ZJtEU?si=1lXVR2NHKtDYNKoB is a good explanation video but it's better after you watch the story in it's entirety
up!
happy new year guyss 🤍🤍
i still can´t find a bad performance by bts, no joke i really haven´t
Couldn't find an explanation video that only involved 2015/2016 BU videos unfortunately. Would highly recommend checking out BTS Prologue video (eng sub), Young Forever music video, the WINGS short films 1-7, and the Love Yourself Highlight Reels before watching xCeleste or other explanation videos. As for now, don't worry about being confused! So many Armys were when it was released and we all had fun spinning theories and trying to tie pieces of information together!
Thank you! Wishing you all a wonderful New Year!! 🎉🎊🥳
I play a game of trying to guess your biases am not sure if you guys have already chosen but I think it's Jimin and V split between you all. If one is your bias the other has to at least be your bias wrecker. In the next video i'll try to guess each persons bias. Majority will probably be Jimin biased. I'll also try to guess bias wreckers from the other members Jk, Jin, RM, Suga and Jhope but so far biases I think will come from the two Jimin and V
Charlie's bias is V Ben's bias is JK and Jin Seb's bias is Jimin
Spine breaker i definitely recommend
yes guys, the music videos are connected. "I need U" started the BU aka Bangtan Universe. btw, many believe BTS' comeback will be related somehow to this era in particular because it started in 2015 so 10 years passed and the members wanted to somehow do a project for it. BU content continued past these albums and even though it got a finale, many remain confused over it and unsure if it was the actual end of the story. It would not be a lie to say the birth of this fictional story played a huge role in BTS gaining attention internationally, because people got very interested in discovering the clues. and yes, there are well known duos: RM&V, Suga&Jungkook and Jhope&Jimin, with Jin being the main character of the story. its a fandom joke that whenever BTS release something we will somehow connect it to the BU lol!! but its not fully our fault, the members are also very fond of this era because thats when their career finally started to take off and the lyrics and songs were often times very emotional and personal. you will see more in the Rise series and when you listen to the albums in full!!
FAVOURITE BTS TITLE TRACK OF ALL TIME 💜😭 sorry for yelling ... I still get chills from this song from when it came out to this day 🥺 thanks for reacting and don't worry, I think each and every one of us was like ~ WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN 😟 ~ and yeah there are tons of good explanation videos out there, they definitely help to appreciate every scene and the story even more. Just ... this MV just elevates the song even more I think, it's so detailed and intricate ... I just love everything about it. the aesthetics are everything 🦋 also "Butterfly" which you heard at the end is insanely beautiful as well. Hope you get to the whole album, it's just a masterpiece 🫣🤲💟
Maybe you could suggest a good explanation vid so it’s easier for them? 😁
Biraj already catching on to some of the pairings: RM & V and Jhope & Jimin :)
As an ARMY since 2013, I always felt like crying whenever I watch BTS' old videos. They've really come a long way 🥹 Also, I know that you guys are smart since I've been binge watching your reaction videos including your anime reactions so I already expected that you can somehow easily spot the connections between the MVs. But the thing is, Bangtan Universe is kinda massive and there's a lot of contents that included in this universe aside from their MVs. You guys are the only reactor that I know who takes an interest to deep dive on BTS lore so you can take your time and I hope you continue with this 💜
Might be helpful if you could give them a suggestion on how to explore the BU lore 😁
"let's all wear black jeans, but don't tell Yoongi" - dance practice is killing me
Well, you entered to the BU (Bangtan Universe), is literally a rabbit hole. I don't want to give spoilers so I just want to say this, the BU is a universe that the Bangtan members and the creative team of big hit create with them for literally and whole era, what starts with I need U, they're composed by MV's, highlights, a webtoon, notes (that came in BTS albums from this era) and they even created an entire kdrama (of course the members not acted, they hired actors for that, and the kdrama is call Begins =/ Youth). I hope you can see and enjoy all this BU, the main character from the BU is Jin, that's why you see him like seeing the camera almost all the time and with that kind of look, and well you gonna understand or maybe not (I'm still confused and I have 9 years in the fandom). And yes, in YouTube you can find explanation videos, if you want you can see it because I understand that the BU is really confused, but you can see all the MV's and all the videos that are related and then if you still don't understand, you can watch those explanation videos. Enjoy the journey and enjoy the BU!! I hope you can react to Tae kdrama, well the kdrama where Tae acts, it calls Hwarang, if I'm not wrong you can find it in Netflix!!
Could you suggest which explanation vids would be good to watch? I’m still confused about BU lore too 😆
I need you guys to react to House of Cards (the song), it’s magestic
1.Attack on Bangtan / 2. Like / 3.Boy in Luv / 4. Tomorrow / 5. Just one Day / 6. Spine Breaker / 7. Butterfly / 8. Baepsae / 9. Ma City/ 10. Fire / 11. Young Forever / 12. Not Today/ 13. Go Go / 14. Outro: Wings / 15. Anpanman / 16. So What / 17. Make it Right/ 18. Home / 19. Dionysus/ 20. Telepathy/ 21. Zero O’Clock / 22. My Universe
Fun fact = there's actually a Kdrama based on the BU storyline too. The name is BEGINS YOUTH
Can't wait for the BU storyline explanation but like you still have some MV's to watch before jumping into it, please react to butterfly too, the song at the end was that one only
'RM is so cool ' yesss he issss!!! Ask JK he'll tell you 😜😂😁
The song butterfly should 100% be next guys. This song is so fuckibg amazing like holy moly my ears are blessed every time i hear this song
Guys please watch BU stuffs in order 1.I Need U 2.HYYH: on stage prologue 3.RUN 4.I Need U (japan ver) 5.RUN(japan ver) 6.Epilogue : Young Forever 7.Short Films(Begin, Lie, Stigma, First Love, Reflection, Mama, Awake) 8.Blood Sweat and Tears. 9.BST(japan ver) 10. Highlight Reels 11.Fake love 12.Save me
Please 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 With BTS making a comeback, it would be interesting to enter the BU world. We think we can return to that era so you can fully enjoy this return.
This is gonna be long I'm sorry but i really really hope yall can read it for context) i think these guys are ready for the BU (Bangtan Universe). BU is a fictional storyline that runs through BTS's music videos, concept trailers, books, webtoon and other contents most noticeable from this point forward. You are absolutely correct in assuming there's something more going on in the vidoes than "i need u girl". The BU doesn't necessarily always correlate with the lyrics in the video. Do you guys want to watch all the BU videos by Era by yourself first and then watch the explained or do you wanna go straight into the explained? There are Eras to the BU, first this is the noticeable start "HYYH - Hwa Yeong Yeon Hwa aka The Most Beautiful Moment in Life", next phase or Era is the "Wings" Era and then the "Love Yourself" Era till now that we're aware of. I personally recommend watching the videos by Era and trying to come up with your own theories and then watching the XCeleste explained videos on youtube. It'll be fun seeing you guys compare theories and see how much you got from the videos lol. I'll list all the videos in order to watch in my replies.
If you're interested in watching the BU videos in order (i.e. order of content release not chronological order of events in the BU as it happens) this website by ARMY is a GREAT resource to sort of capture all the resources in one place < http://bucontentgui.de/ > These are the videos in HYYH Era that you need to watch in order: 1. I Need U (Original) 2. HYYH on Stage: Prologue - the original video by BigHit doesn't have subs so you might want to watch a subbed version 3. Run 4. I Need U (JPN Ver.) 5. Run (JPN Ver.) 6. Epilogue: Young Forever
i love your guys enthusiasm and puzzlement lol
Please watch BAEPSAEEE
YALL BETTER NOT SPOIL ANYTHING IN THE COMMENTS ISTG
Please watch Prologue mv.
Oops did you miss the end of the MV when it was a shot of 7 of them by the beach, and when it turned to the polaroid there were only 6 of them? 🤭
I think they missed it
WE WANT AN EXPLANATION VIDEO
This will ruin their experience of the BU. They should have the opportunity to watch the entire storyline first, make their own theories AND THEN watch the explanation.
You skipped a few BTS MVs, so I hope you go back and react to them soon. They’re all really good 💜 The ones I noticed are N.O, Boy in Luv, Just One Day, War of Hormone, and For You
I will never forget you pink mon 😭😭😭😭😭
ICONIC
Watch the explanation only after you react to the MVs, so you don’t get spoiled 😊
By the way yall havent reacted to spring day dance practice, its so beautiful 🥺
I would simply watch all the MVs and short films connected to the BU and then watch the explanation video by CelesteX afterwards to connect all the dots!
Basically the next step is to watch the on stage: prologue, here’s one with Eng sub but the quality’s not rlly great: https://youtu.be/eDkseQw2Mg4?si=pWgJXaJwaHYlXtqU or just watch the one bt BangtanTV then you can keep going down the storyline through this playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLinYwdbV85rp2cBGLszFPtUcAffdIyvhr&si=DH1wZ7QYm-cSGH1x Enjoy the BU Rabbit hole! We’ll definitely enjoy reacting to it 😂😇
Hello guys, there is too much in BU universe. It is at least 27 videos mainly about psychological problems as a result of family traumas. I saw the confusion in your eyes watching the MV, so here is the explanation video by XCeleste: https://youtu.be/2-DEu3ZJtEU?si=ApIZRo-0sEJsVy_c After explanation you can react on the "Prologue Butterfly" MV + live and Young Forever MV. There are also 7 short films (2-3min), you can react on all of them in one video. After that you should focus on song playlist from BTS concert Yet to come in Busan or Love yourself Speak yourself final from Seoul before BTS's actual comeback. You deserve it!
I’d prefer they watch the prologue and all the other MVs and films first before watching XCeleste’s explanation, they have a knack in deciphering meanings so far so I’m curious to watch their process of deciphering the BU before the explanation 🙌🏼
Butterfly --> The Butterfly Effect. These are all MVs for the Bangtan Universe and it all starts at I NEED U. I don't wanna spoil you guys in case you wanna dive in. But there is a K-drama that touches on this universe and its characters, someone's commented about it (Begins ≠ Youth). They also have a webtoon on this universe as well if you wanna check it out! Please also take a look at Butterfly: The Prologue Mix (MV) as well as the song and dance practice. However there is a summary of the BU by XCeleste that you can check out but there are a lot of spoilers towards music videos and songs you haven't watched yet. The BU brings encapsulates HYYH: Young Forever, Wings/You Never Walk Alone, Love Yourself Albums and more. It runs throughout their discography
You guys need to watch The Most Beautiful Moment in Life Prolouge
Fun fact - the boys said they ran so much to make this MV that they wish title was 'walk' instead 😂
🤣🤣🤣
im just copy pasting my comment from i need u reaction so its easier. This is gonna be long I'm sorry but i really really hope yall can read it for context) i think these guys are ready for the BU (Bangtan Universe).

LY: Highlight Reel 2. Euphoria 3. Fake Love Teasers 4. Fake Love (Extended) 5. Epiphany 6. BTS Universe Story Map of the Soul and thats it for videos. Now you can watch the explained. I'll link it down in the next reply. This will best summarize all that you have watched for a refresher and point out the higglights to take note of < https://youtu.be/n4o70iBIDNs?si=WaZXYDBcMwlJ5RFr > and then you can watch the xCeleste BTS BU summary and explanation. This is a lot I'm sorry lol. Also note these are heavy subject matters so if you don't wanna thats also fine. Hint: look at the pairings when you watch the videos :)
Never mind I got what your hint is now 😆
I definitely think you should watch other MVs and songs first, in the exact order before you watch the explanation vid since it has major spoilers about the MVs
True! I recommend this playlist as it has eng subs : https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLinYwdbV85rp2cBGLszFPtUcAffdIyvhr&si=DH1wZ7QYm-cSGH1x
I absolutely love your genuine interest and excitement in everything you watch and listen to. It’s very refreshing, and I appreciate that about you guys.💜
You should also watch the BTS On Stage: Prologue, which fits between "I Need U" and "Run". Did someone already tell you that there is a k-drama based on part of the BTS Universe? It is called "BEGINS ≠ YOUTH". For the sake of the members they changed the names of the characters in the show tho. Seo Ji-hoon = Kim Seokjin (Jin) Min Ce-in = Min Yoongi (SUGA) Jeong Ho-su = Jung Hoseok (j-hope) Kim Do-geon = Kim Namjoon (RM) Park Ha-ru = Park Jimin Kim Woo-jin = Kim Taehyung (V) Jeon Jae-ha = Jeon Jungkook
you have to react to the explanation of the BU or BTS universe. its a whole rabbit hole. its soooo intricate. the wholw story is interwoven in all of the albums from hyyh or the most beautiful moment in life. its so so iconic. there are a lot of videos on youtube explaining the BU. you should watch it. and theres also a webtoon and a kdrama for it. its that iconic. BTS themselves is still cherish this era up until now even after 10 yrs later
It's up to you guys if you choose to watch the explanation videos now but please know they contain huge spoilers for a lot of music you haven't heard yet. The fun of the BU was that we had time to theorize in the time between album and MV releases. If I'd known the story upfront, I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much or been surprised by things. Your choice though.
I agree!
Biraj is totally right, “it almost makes you want to know more since you don’t know enough, it makes you go down the rabbit hole”. The BU is literally puzzle pieces from a range of content, not only the MVs. With that, let’s go down the BU rabbit hole! 🥳🥳 There’s a playlist on Youtube called “bangtan universe (in order)”. Link: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLinYwdbV85rp2cBGLszFPtUcAffdIyvhr&si=DH1wZ7QYm-cSGH1x (this one i think is the best compared to every other BU playlist on youtube because it provides English subtitles) I suggest you guys try watching those videos first (you can skip the MVs that you’ve already watched) for this journey to understand the BTS Universe storyline, before you jump into any explanation video. For explanation I’d recommend XCeleste’s BTS Storyline summary ( https://youtu.be/2-DEu3ZJtEU?si=thHbS34kISBfPGt7 ). It also includes explanations from a WIDE range of BU content that touches more on this storyline, so you’ll get more understanding from it.
I'm looking forward to more reactions that have BU content. It's reliving my own experience with you adding your ideas. But don't forget Rise of Bangtan. BU right now is a sideline to their full journey.
Young forever mv is connected to i need u and run so maybe you can react to that next! And then N.O, boy in luv, just one day, war of hormone, fire, not today ❤️🔥
Thank you so much for your reaction 💜 I advise you to look at the BANGTAN UNIVERSE in order: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLinYwdbV85rp2cBGLszFPtUcAffdIyvhr&si=DH1wZ7QYm-cSGH1x At the end there are two explanation videos!
Yess that’s a good playlist compared to the other ones, it has eng subs for the short films 🙌🏼
Boy in luv or one day mv!!
It would be good to react to "Just One Day" and "Boy in Luv" or did I just miss that 😆 and I think to continue this, you need Butterfly too
I personally love it when newcomers to BTS experience a BTS moment the exact same way ARMY did when these things first came out. That’s the fun of it, reliving that time. The Bangtan Universe storyline runs over multiple BTS albums and eras, so you aren’t supposed to understand it all immediately. The ironic thing is when you remember RM’s lyrics in Pied Piper “stop you can analyse the music video later” (the lyrics you saw said movie but the proper translation is music video). BTS chastising us for obsessing over the details in their MVs but them making those same MVs so intriguing! There’s also a chance that the new material BTS puts out in 2026 might have some connections to the BU as BTS mentioned several times that 2025 was the 10th anniversary of the Most Beautiful Moment in Life era. BTS really love connecting their old and new material
Ure confused now but wait til u get to wings album 😭
The explanation videos that are being commented are huge spoilers for other mvs that you guys haven’t watched yet. The fun part of the bangtan universe is to try to piece stuff together first. Also, there is an mv for butterfly (the song at the end) called hwayangyeonhwa on stage: prologue. It helps a lot to understand the story up to this era
Only watch the explanation video after going thru more MVs bc itll only make sense that way and without spoilers. Right now just try figuring things out urself hahah reminds me of myself all those years ago 😂
I think it's really fun watching you analyze the mvs, so to me it doesn't matter what you choose to do first, explanation videos can follow later if you want 💜😊
Yes please keep watching the music videos and try to figure it out yourselves. Right now you missed one which is the Prologue video. Of course theres more than just music videos theres also Books and other things. But you should be able to figure some of it out. Then when youre done watch the explanation video and youll get parts filled in for you. Heres the music video list in order: I Need U (Original Version) HYYH On Stage: Prologue Run I Need U (Japanese Version) Run (Japanese Version) Epilogue: Young Forever The Short Films: Begin Lie Stigma First Love Reflection Mama Awake MVs Again: Blood Sweat & Tears Blood Sweat & Tears (Japanese Version) Love Yourself Highlight Reel Euphoria Fake Love Teaser 1 Fake Love Fake Love Extended Version Epiphany Film Out BTS Universe Story Teaser
pls try to figure it out yourself by keep watching the BU contents, then watch the explanation💜
they were babies 🥹 now jungkook the only one in his 20s
Hi guys! there is a video explained about the BTS universe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-DEu3ZJtEU to help understand all MVs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4o70iBIDNs&list=PLA7x9igoMVtYZslPvdJkXBW2d2DVYs-Nn
This video contains wings films which the guys haven't seen it
I think it would be better for you guys to watch an BTS Universe explanation video because it’s pretty much impossible to piece everything together just from the MVs. The lyrics & videos don’t really have anything to do with each other and you would need to also read the webtoon to understand the entire lore.
They should watch it after the mv's because these guys love theorizing and r way smarter than most reactors and armies, judging from their anime channel
The song at the end of the MV is called Butterfly
mint hair yoongi and orange hair jimin what an era
I actually forgot the choreo ends a butterfly 🦋
don’t watch explanation vids watch all the bangtan universe videos in order and only then watch explanation videos
this song was actually pretty big back in 2015. i was there when they won their first music show award for this song. such an emotional moment. i believe it has 5 music show awards now :) but yeah, it’s such a good song. one of my favorite bts mvs too
yeah. run has 5 music show award wins. and i was saying i was there when they got the first one.
i miss this era so much omfg
orange hair jimin is a menace fr. if you want to see orange hair jimin in action more, bts' cover of Perfect Man is amazing
OK. But when it comes to covers, no one ever mentions this little gem. https://youtu.be/MHP6d-nGA14?si=QKYHIv_GkiuWMNZ-
Welcome to the Bangtan Universe! Also known as the BU. This is one of my favorite parts about BTS because this truly set them apart from everyone else. Excited to experience it with you guys! 💜
I think in the Wings Era there will be more questions with some possible answers; in my day that was enlightening, haha. The FBI Army usually helps, but have fun with the mystery, it's a cool phase.
Yaaaah 🥹💜💜💜💜
Reposting here from the I Need U vid in hopes you will see. If you really want to dive into the Bangtan Universe, here is a good overview by US BTS Army: https://www.usbtsarmy.com/bangtan-universe-guide And so you won’t be overwhelmed with all the content, here is the BU playlist and watch order spanning through multiple BTS eras: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpdemoTlvL0vAT9yRRYDeb189ZXIDOotK&si=grR17PAM609V36l8
I would love for you to watch the bu stuff first in order and trying to figure things out and then watch an explanation video!
Yesss because they are actually good at catching stuff in mvs.
Please also what Bangtan’s documentaries, In the Soop, and Bon Voyage as a starter 😊
omg this is my favorite era 😭
the song that made me an army almost 11 years ago 🥹🥹. run will forever have a special place in my heart :)
Thank you! It's great to see reactions to the BU especially from people who really care and try to understand like you guys😊 There is a good explanation video, I'd prefer if you'd check out all the BU content and share your thoughts and theories and then watch the explanation in the end but it's up to you for sure😊 Fyi: There is a prologue video which comes between I need u and Run: https://youtu.be/Bt8648TNX1M?si=elK2kdARtYtX588N (Original (better quality but without CC)) or https://youtu.be/eDkseQw2Mg4?si=hRdWS-Y4ks03Uatk (with fanmade CC. There isn't much to translate but if you want to watch it with CC) Many reactors skip it cause it's not a classic MV but for me it adds stuff to the dynamic and story. And it somehow explains why V is in the water in the Run MV.
And in the end, when you're done with clips in order, updated explanation for that by XCeleste💜 Thanks for the reaction and Happy New Year to everyone💋💜🥳
Pls watch BU universe by xCeleste then you’ll be able to get it
Guys, here's the playlist to watch everything in order! U can make a series or make 1 fat video! https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpdemoTlvL0vAT9yRRYDeb189ZXIDOotK&si=jA6-35DfZgzfSJgt
I like this Playlist, it also has the Japanese versions of songs with extra detail ppl usually tend to forget about, or ignore
Dont analyze it too much… i knw the feeling. You are now in Bangtan Universe chapter you are kind halfway there. We Army can be too much, we have a habit of dog piling on new Armys trying to understand BTS. Just take your time read the comments most of them are good to read. You will get there eventually. You guys are good and already making waves on Army stan. Hope i helped a little bit. 😃💜
Guys, please watch the BU storyline in order: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLog8l4FEE-QPmsizDcUo0Nc3wdvEIvYAa&si=vqCvzrqlF03pHKRH
Young forever mv next!
Guys pls don't link explanation vids, they're literally spoilers 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Don't watch explanation vids! Just watch all the bangtan universe videos in order! Try to Figure it out and only then watch explanation vids
Yay, thank you! And happy new year, guys! 💜 You are so observant and smart, i think it would be so fun to see you (try to) piece it together as you watch more related videos & MVs. Can I also please request “The Most Beautiful Life Goes On: A story of BTS (2023 update ) by Rice Squad? It details BTS’s evolution, fills in some gaps from previous documentaries and I think would help you plan your reactions further to some extent. https://youtu.be/0KonKFssKnM?si=zGrWEYa-wCIU2ptY
I'm so so excited for when they'll react to BU explanation 😁🙌🏻♥️
Yasssddd less goooo♥️♥️
YAYYY THANK YOU!
Taehyung is considered the idol of idols; many younger idols watch and learn his facial expressions. you should react to bts hardships https://youtu.be/EdY6wnLsetQ?si=zxFAeRQE18xj8qcD or how bts know everything about each other https://youtu.be/P41_SyADFEA?si=vzjGkdfyPs_MkiGc
This was my first comeback as an Army💜
https://youtu.be/2-DEu3ZJtEU?si=ZuqZgmykjhSMRfpC This will help with the explanation for the BU. (bangtan universe)
