BTS 'SWIM' Official MV

I'll have to borrow an account with a subscription from an ARMY so I can watch other content, because unfortunately I can't afford a subscription and I really want to watch more content that isn't on YT. 😭😭

I read theories saying that the girl is army going through all the emotions and bts being with us all the time looking over us even if they are not there physically. Perfect music video, direction, production, editing – a masterpiece.

I BEG YOU, I PLEASE LEAVE YOUR REACTION TO THE FREE COMEBACK LIVE, PLEASEEEEE!! 😭😭

loved it!!

After watching Swim a hundred times I finallly understood the meaning…. What a masterpiece. I recommend reading this twitter thread beautifully explaining/theorising the meaning behind SWIM 🏊 https://twitter-thread.com/t/2035063972949307489

Guys pls make the comeback video free guyss pleaseeee

Why do I feel like Ronnie made the thumbnail for this video? Putting Siren Jimin in the middle like that? I see you, buddy. I also fell out of my chair when Jimin first showed on the screen looking like he got isekaied into a pirate romance💛

You not ready for live jimin haha he looks insane

Beautiful song, great video. Awesome reaction 💜

I am SO READY for this more mature and sexy BTS!! I was so waiting for this side of them and I am obsessed with Swim and with the whole album!! ...what a banger and a half!!! the kings comeback to destroy with their numbers the music industry you just need to check on Apple, Youtube, Billboard etc etc, is a cultural reset really need it and I am still recovering from Netflix event in S. Korea...this really hit me and make me realize that BTS at this point of their careers are untouchables! nobody can reach them, no one!!

You are my favorite reactors. You're intelligent, thoughtful and observant. And the chemistry between you is excellent. I like how you dissect what you watch and hear. I appreciate you pausing and going back to relisten, or to look closely. You teach, question and inform each other and your viewers. You engage. Your reaction of this music video is proof of this. Watching you is always a pleasure. Thank you for not displaying "toxic masculinity".

I love this song so much

It's hard to believe that you guys are "newbie" ARMY with the way you connect and understand BTS' music 🥹

Song for ARMY

Very simply: It is BTS' love song to ARMY. If you listen to the song and the lyrics, it is a love song (digestable for non-ARMY as such), but the hidden meaning is in the video: The girl represents ARMY suffering, missing BTS while they were away, but they are now BACK and we are reunited. Love the song, love the album! Thank you for your genuine and smart reaction.

Good song, beautiful video, nice vibe. Thank you guys

swim its a BOP

guyss i am cryinnggg U GUYSSS GIVE THE BESTTT REACTIONSSSS

AAAAA U GUYSSS I HAVEE NO IDEEEAAA HOW MUCH I WAS ANTICIPATING THIS REACTIONN!! IT IS LIKE A NEEDDD

Here is my take on the MV: I think the song is very obviously about BTS continuing on and ‘swimming’ on through adversary, but the MV really shows the journey and feelings of ARMY. In my opinion, Lili Reinhart represents us. The MV starts with Lili/ARMY looking desperately for a place to belong and entering the museum, guided by a compass that is steering us toward BTS, to look at all the things that could give our life joy and meaning (the ships). One by one the lights go out from the other ‘ships’, since they are not a good fit for us. Yet we stop by BTS’ ship. We are intrigued by it and want a place to belong: a place away from the ‘bad world’ (a theme that comes back in the rest of the album) where we are allowed to be ourselves and express ourselves without judgment. And so we end up on our little safe haven: BTS’ ship. We are still ourselves (Lili’s clothes remain the same throughout the MV), but we can dance and express ourselves however we want. But, it feels like we are all alone on the ships: BTS isn’t here (as they weren’t during their military services), and ARMY obviously had feelings of loneliness during this period, since some of us don’t have ARMY friends in offline lives. So although we are in a safe haven where we are allowed to be ourselves, we still feel lonely. And that is where BTS comes in. Because the safe haven is a ship and currently sailing. And who is steering and manning the ship? BTS. Lili senses them, can almost feel them, but there is a wall between them. In real life, BTS and ARMY’s are separated first through their military service, and we will always be separated by distance and our relationship as artists/fans. But even if BTS has to put in that hard work and watch over us from a distance, they will continue to do so; they will continue to SWIM. And at the end, when Lili/ARMY looks from the bow of the ship to what comes ahead, she feels safe and confident enough to go back to the ‘real world’. She rips off the necklace, and returns with all the memories, feelings and insights from BTS’ ship (and with their love, symbolised by the dripping water). And instead of looking frantic and panicked, she looks to what’s ahead, stares into the camera, and smiles confidently: she is ready to take on the world, using all she’s learned and with the knowledge that she can always come back to BTS’ world if it’s needed (represented by them standing on the bow of the ships and continuing their journey). It’s in my opinion really a love song for ARMY, where they give us the confidence through visual storytelling to be brave and carve our own path in this world, backed by BTS’ love. Always.

Wow💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

💜❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥💜

I love how on point you guys are. This album is absolutely phenomenal I love it. BTS sure never cease to exceed my expectations

'Swim' is such a good earworm, with the easy flow, won't get boring! I like it more and more and more with each listen

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THESE REACTIONS!

💜💜💜

it's incredible just how u guys always spot on with interpretation. i love it! if u watch their weverse live / studio talk, it confirms whatever u just said 👏🏼👏🏼

Tysmm guyss💜💜

Wow… awesome loved it guys💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Also I love your interpretation of it, I think you’re pretty much on point about it

This whole album is filthy, paricularly the rapline in my opinion. 🙈

OMG EARLY POST THANK YOU SO MUCH i was hoping i could watch your reaction before the comeback live 😭

yeyyyyyy

Captain Kook 😭😆🤣

Omg whattttt??? So early 😍😍

I hope you react to the full album 😍

Please finish the MV and make your stream count @ralaz

“Salt on my tongue she’s stunning” suga never letting go of his tongue technology trademark

You all are the best! 😭💜 Thank you for respecting the 24 hrs and this was amazing! The song is actually for Army, Lili represents Army and how they will always be with us through our struggles and difficulties in life, although they cannot be physically here with each of us. 💜

Oh my gosh I actually stopped the Naruto drop to come and watch this. ♡ I love your funny and chaotic reactions, and restarting it over and over again. It's hilarious but just goes to show how respectful you guys are, and that you really are enjoying the music. ☺️

Damn the comeback live is at 7am for me but I gotta watch this at least before I go to bed 😭😭

You guys nailed it AGAIN. Swim is one of the songs for ARMY and it represents how they are always with us but how we are always separated. They love watching over us as much as we love watching over them and we are all in this journey together. It is about us all coming back together as BTS and ARMY after the long separation, and now we can be together again through this new journey or chapter. My take on the video was, she is ARMY and she is remembering her journey and how they helped and healed while they were truly only there in spirit. We as ARMY feel such a deep connection to these guys its like greeting an old friend even though we are strangers. I love this WHOLE album but Normal and Please have to be my top 2. Please is also for ARMY.

YAY! I love your reactions- genuinely. Enjoy the comeback concert later!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Swim" MV uses the actress as a mirror for ARMY, positioning the viewer as the protagonist of the story. While she battles the "inner storm" of life's hardships, BTS members act as the ship's crew..the steady, grounding force working behind the scenes to keep her afloat. By keeping the focus on her struggle and eventual liberation (breaking the necklace), the concept shows that BTS isn't just "performing" for you; they are navigating for you Their role as the crew symbolizes that even when they aren't center-stage, their music serves as the vessel that helps the listener survive the rough waves and move toward a "new chapter" together.

So much going on!! I've never been busy this much in my entire life 😭😭

Couldn't wait for your guys' reaction and you did NOT disappoint!! 💜 This is one of my favorites on the album!

Love your reactions and interpretation of the song.
