Jin - Awake

"Give yourself some credit" THAT'S WHAT WE'VE ALWAYS SAID TO HIM DAY AFTER DAY, YEAR AFTER YEAR, ALL THIS TIME! That's why I'm so happy that during this Arirang Tour he's not afraid to blast his charm

Thank you so much for giving our Jinnie so much love! Loved your reaction. I hope you check out more of his works such as Tonight, Abyss, and Yours (kdrama ost). They are a true vocal marvel.

Guys, please also listen to Abyss and Heart on the window by Jin, both songs are phenomenal, and also please listen to Still with you by Jungkook, I don't know of a song that can transport you into a different dimension more than that song.

Jin cooks in more than one way 💜

I'm so excited for when you guys react to the Wings era music videos.

Jin's all solo songs are amazing it has meaning 💜

This man is so unreable you should watch "the king of highnotes jin". And also listen to Echo and Happy full album

Absolutely amazing song and performance 😭 I hope now our Jinnie knows how much important he is for BTS and their fans 🩷🙏

Guys you should react to his other songs and his albums Echo and Happy

Thank you, guys. 💜 This is my favorite among Jin's songs. It never fails to bring tears to my eyes. Knowing how he felt back then, how he struggled, how he worked so hard, it's just amazing how humble, dedicated, and authentic Jin is. Because of the person he is, he's reached new heights. Yes, he can fly high - both solo and along with his 6 brothers. That's his truth now. It just makes me so happy to see how he and OT7 are such global successes. They deserve all the love, support and respect we can give them.

The Polaroids each represent another member's single the 1st is Jungkook's begin the 2nd is Jhope's mama the 3rd Jimin's lie the 4th Suga's first love the 5th RM's reflection and the last V's stigma each one of these singles there's a short story into it and they all have images from each one of these Polaroids hope you check them out

I will never forget the emotions I felt when I first watched and understood the lyrics. I literally cried. I love them so much! Really love how you are taking on this whole journey.

Can you guys also react to Jin's album? or his solos like 'another level' or 'background.' Those songs are so good!

ANDWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Once you get through all of the wings solo songs ya'll should check out the V-live when RM talks about the writing process for all of these songs (since quite few of them he co-wrote with the member that sang them, this time not all the boys were as practiced at song writing as they are now) it gives you a lot of insight on the inspirations for all these songs and a bit on how RM feels about each member and their struggles at the time. I think you'd find it titled 161020 Live : WINGS Behind story.

You guys mentioned how wild it will be to hear the songs back to back to back and especially back at the time of release... well as someone who was there at the time of this release, I can tell you that WINGS is genuinely a legendary album!!! As far as I know it's the first and only kpop album to include a solo from every member of the group. The build up to this drop was one of the most fun and intriguing promotional campaigns I've ever experienced and it genuinely made me so fucking proud to be an ARMY. The first time I listened to the album I just sobbed and sobbed with pride (& other emotions probably, these songs are so intense!). It was the first time we heard solos from the vocal line and it was so fucking special. I really hope before you guys dive into the WINGS album as a whole you will watch (reaction or not) the WINGS Short Films!! It might be hard to imagine but the daily released of these short films really intensely built the hype for this album among ARMY and gave us lots of clues for what was to come and the themes of the album!! In fact, me watching the short films every day was so intriguing that it's how I converted my roommate into an ARMY lol!! WINGS era is one of my favorite comebacks because it was right after HYYH era gained them a lot more traction, and I think it shows off the growth they experienced so beautifully. It's been so wonderful to see your guys' reactions to their solos and now I'm itching for you to dive into the album haha!! Can't wait! Thanks for the great reactions always! <3

this made me cry the first time i heard esp the live performance. jin has the biggest heart.

I always cry in this song 😭😭

Please react to Jin's B-sides in "Happy" and "Echo." You'll be amazed by the range of genres.

Hi, guys. Thank you for spoiling us with these reactions. Watching you guys makes me reminisce my own journey to becoming an ARMY, especially now since Jin’s Epiphany and Awake are the very first things that ever introduced me to BTS. If you happen to have another reaction for Jin, please consider listening to Falling ft. Taka of One Ok Rock or Background.

you guys have to check out moon its soooo good

It is more special if u actually watch all the short films leading up to the wings album (there is a storyline)

Left you guys a direct message coz I got double charged. A little help here please.

Jin: “ maybe I can never fly” Army: As you’re looking down on us from the moon😳?…

So glad you guys got to this song! It’s a song dear to my heart :) Also, Yoongi’s version is pretty iconic 😂

All of the polaroid's represent the other members solo songs 💜 I've always thought the instrumental part of "Awake" sounded like a Disney song ✨ You'll see how there's six musicians on stage with him. Whenever one of them does something solo, whether there be dancers or musicians or some sort of symbolism, there's always six others with them. They are forever seven!! 💜 "Gravitating to one more than the other" That's how you end up with a bias, haha. They always say, "you don't pick your bias, they pick you." that that's so incredibly true. There just becomes this undeniable connection and it's so beautiful. 💜 You're very right. WINGS is truly something special. Seeing their journey from then to now is just unbelievable.

Wow

Guys did u forgot to put the run bts ep 2??

Will a new video be uploaded today?

You guys calling him KIM SEOKJIN, u rly ARMY now using all the members' full government names

A jin reaction and I'm here in a heartbeat! Love 'Awake' so much! All the best from Sweden.

YOU HAVE TO REACT TO 'MOON" . like absolutely necessary!!!! pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

In upcoming seclude please include: Jungkook live at TSX https://www.youtube.com/live/geHuX7E3NX8?si=XeDqGeaVbxA0-VPZ

y'all should check out For Youth! It's one of the songs that was in the background of their military discharge that y'all didn't recognize ... it's an amazing song!

You guys are my absolute favourite reactor’s you don’t pick favourites you appreciate all the members and you give respect to all of them i can tell you don’t fake your reaction for views like many do. You really like our 7 kings. And your understanding of the songs from the beginning was impressive and I love the way you guys get so excited when they blow you mind that is the reason I signed up to your Patreon

The way you all understand the members so well :')

OMG can't wait for y'all to watch the BU STORYLINE EXPLAINATION cuz of the 'six flowers' reference 😭🫶🏻🩷🩷

Even someone gifted as Jin can suffer from imposter syndrome. BTS never fail to share their humanness. 6 flowers = his members, correct! 💜

Seokjin's voice is so soulful and beautiful. Jin is a great vocalist who deserves more recognition, he's more than a visual. The message of Awake is so beautiful and profound. We must never stop trying and must persevere even when everything is against us.

“That was the best andwae I’ve ever heard” lmaooooo 😂😂

ive been waiting so long for this one !!! this song is so precious and y'all really nailed the message he was tryna share

did u guys notice in the live it not wings its other six pillars that might rep members and through the song those were taller and him in the middle lower.. but to the end when he sings in high pitch he is in the tall one

This is the first BTS song to make me cry!! I connect to this song on such a deep level, Jin really knows how to expose your most raw, hidden away emotions and give them a chance to breathe. I wish he knew how special he truly is. He inspires me everyday to enjoy life!💜My bias Jinnie💜 Oh great now I’m tearing up again lol Awake, Paradise and Spring Day are the songs that made me ARMY🥹

Man, Jin is INCREDIBLE! I can't wait til you guys review Jin's albums, "Happy" and "Echo." And THEN watch his concert!! Omg, it's SO GOOD!!! You're gonna LOVE his concerts!!!

This song always makes me want to slap Jin, but then also give him a giant hug. I hate that he sees himself as less talented than the "six other flowers." Jin, you are flying with your own power now. You can believe it.

This song is so emotional and so relatable. I love Jin so much, and having him pour his heart out in this manner to show what he was struggling with was so genuine. He doesn't often show his "weakness", and he portrayed it so beautifully here. He truly is THE Silver Voice. He sounds absolutely incredible.

As many ARMYs know, Jin suffered from Imposter’s Syndrome & like other members saw mental counseling for it. He was the only member recruited based only on his looks. That he has one of the most recognizable voices in kpop & worked like a demon to learn to dance is evidence that his success is a testament to his determination and innate talent.

There is an mv for this song

I'm so happy when you guys react to Jin! This song is such a gem. Not many vocalists can tell a story with their songs the way Jin can.💜

💜🫶🏽🫶🏽💜

"To me, today" from his most recent album "Echo" is like an answer to "Awake" where you can truly see how much he's matured and how far he's come. You should also react to "Backgroud" or better, to the whole album while you do the chronological journey.

watching Jin solo especially awake, epiphany and background always make me tear up partly bc I see how far Jin has come as an artist and a person but also bc of how much I relate to him (like am I smart enough for grad school? well according to Jin I should still try despite those doubts and that's one of the many reasons this man is my bias)

Jinnnn✨️✨️🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🥹🥹🥹🥹💜💜💜

Jin has, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful voice (if not THE most). I get emotional listening to each of his solo songs, it’s ridiculous. Anyway, as always, your reactions did not disappoint, love you guys for how you seem to really enjoy and appreciate their hard work unlike some other reactors. You are the best!!!

cant wait to see you react to jin's solo album echo. its so so beautiful

Jin is the poster child for imposter syndrome. He's literally surrounded all the time by some of the greatest artists this world has ever known and he came into a field where he had no training. He's the eldest and yet no matter what he does there will always be someone he loves right next to him who has more experience as a singer, or dancer. And in his biological family he was the youngest. Jin truly leveled up while he was on his world tour and when the others weren't there with him. But he still holds the others in awe, and love. The beautiful thing is that there isn't any jealously toward the other members just tremendous admiration and love for them. And that is why I call him World Wide Wonderful.

Jin’s songs are like lullabies.

Jin is such an incredible singer. I love him!!

When my daughter was 5, she wanted this on repeat every car ride. So if it's an hour drive, it's an hour of Awake.

Jin says he doesnt like to show ARMY when he is sad or struggling because he realized that it made ARMY sad and concerned as well. But that he can express them in his music, that doing that is ok. And his song writing is really rooted in Korean writing and it is so beautiful. It’s in his song “Tonight” that you see how precious of a human being he is with such a beautiful heart knowing for whom he wrote that song for. Then following his journey as a song writer is also amazing, from Awake to Epiphany, Abyss, and one of the songs that reminded me of “Awake”, “To Me, Today” from his Echo album. I cried it’s the lyrics he wrote. Precious man, this Seokjin is. Thank oodness he is the eldest hyung of BTS 💜

Japanese audience and the greatest show of praise is a round of applause the oldest that can be made.. Screaming felt Ike too casual in that moment, becuase it was so beautiful , that they were serious about letting him know how great his performance was… 💜🐹💜

How different it hit so many years later, when he performed it at his solo concert. So much he has done, but he still feels like that... I just hope his beautiful soul knows it deep down that it is not true.

Jin collecting fan boys💜

Oh Kim Seokjin..... amazing. A producer said that Jin never puts melodies and high notes into his songs that he cannot perform live... 🤯

Jins solo songs are amazing and got me bawling my eyes out majority of the time 🤍

One of Jin's songs that I hold close to my heart 💜 this song is absolutely gorgeous 💜

I always love how perceptive you guys are and aware of the meanings behind these songs. I've never enjoyed a group of reactors this much before. Keep at it guys! 😊💜

I think Jin’s song, “To Me, Today,” from his album, Echo, seven years later, is the natural follow-up to “Awake.” ;-)

*Wings* is one of my favorite BTS albums—I’m so envious of those who were able to attend one of the concerts on that tour!

I know you guys said you were going to continue reacting to BTS content in chronological order, but I would love for you to keep reacting to the individual albums and songs of each of the members. Today, in particular, I’d like to request your reaction to V’s Tiny Desk Korea performance.

This song is so emotional... Yet so lovely ❤

Thanks guys for reacting and you should definitely react to YOURS, Abyss, Tonight, Background by JIN as well, love his Voice so much 🩵✨🧿

Oh my your reactions are so awesome to watch and the way you guys appreciate every one of them💜💜 Thank You

I'm sort of new to patreon...And I don't see this answer in the comments, so I'm just gonna ask....Have we had a discussion about the BU? Are we doing this???

this song always makes me cry to think that jin wrote it bc he felt less talented than other member but still wanted to strive towards his goals. Till this day he is one of the most underrated members and it makes me so upset that he once thought of himself like this bc honestly he is one of the most talented people ever which Is even proven by the fact that he started learning singing at 21 and is now phenomenal at it. All of this is also besides the fact that his personality is gold and he always shows how much he loves army. I love him sm😭

This song is so good it genuinely became a part of my life 😭 when it was released I wasn’t lucky enough to hear it live so I learned how to play it myself and even won a piano competition with it it’s incredible and Jin’s voice is the best part of it ballads suit him so much

Guys Echo and Happy albums from Jin are not to be missed.

Jin is our emotive, not emotional silver voice.

Guys you will usually see Jin all cheerful, positive, funny and even silly which helps set the mood of the group. But you might remember he said that he has his dark sides too. And the dark side come out in the form of music. Here’s one called “Abyss”. It was during the time he felt intense burnout, imposter syndrome, and emotional exhaustion, written during a period of deep self-doubt. https://www.patreon.com/posts/132665824?utm_campaign=postshare_fan Jin also wrote “Tonight” after the passing of his dog and also his two sugar gliders in close succession. It’s a beautiful song please check it out: https://www.patreon.com/posts/94019719?utm_campaign=postshare_fan

This is genuinely the song that made me army 💜 he/bts came into my life when I needed them 💯! I wish you guys would watch all of their short films. They are truly impressive!

Finally some Jin appreciation Im gonna cry 😭😭 this exact man is a breathing moving TALENT wait till you reach his solo albums they’re MASTERPIECES !!! I wanna see you guys react to Background + his rock music ♥️♥️ THANK YOU FOR APPRECIATING HIM ♥️♥️

I really love how all four of you always always praise him. How you talk about him. Really Jin touch my heart , but four of you too. And like Rivas say about Jin : he is....arghhhh😅😅

People were clapping at the end of the song in the concert it was very very emotional when he released this because Yes he is an amazing singer but just imagine how much hard work he must have put in to sound like that especially in a group that some members have what others refer to as natural talent but jin must have worked his ass off to be on par with people with natural talent and that to me is such an admiring trait

I STILL cried watching this, his voice is so emotional and amazing! Great reactions guys! <3

IMAGINE going to WINGS tour and hearing Begin, Lie, Stigma, Mama, First love, Reflection, and Awake all in one go among other songs. that's a seven arc movie holy😭

I got teary eyed watching that part in the live again T.T Jin's just sooooo good at pouring out his emotions while singing, everyone feels it~ also your reaction to the teary eyed captions was hilarious hahahahah

Guys I'm still waiting for "best of me" reactions 😔🙏

This one and Tonight are my favorites 💜💜 thanks for your reaction guys!!

Singing maybe I can't never fly while his vocals already touching the sky😭😭😭 at 14:42 rowas said "give yourself some credit man" EXACTLY JINNNN

bts wing solo songs have videos to them its not exactly mvs its titled short film and the photos you see in the background on this lyric videos are from those short films since you started album reactions i hope when it comes to wings you will watch all these short films that came with wings album release its beautiful

Jins second solo album echo is my fav album among bts members solos and tbh i was actually soo surprised because the melodies jin uses are something thats soo different from his usual styles in bts and im soo glad he chose the songs he did in echo because his voice with those melodies is chefs kiss

Every single time Jin says something like "I'm not as good as the other members" in interviews, I feel so angry, because how could he not know how amazing he is, and how much he shines JUST AS MUCH as the other members. Every single one of them are incredible, and I really hope they all know that T^T ++ amazing reaction again guys, looking forward to the future songs you're going to discover !!

jin is very emotive with his performance and vocals. Jin does not really open up a lot but his earlier songs like this one, epiphany, tonight, the astronaut gives us a window to how he views himself and his fears. till this day it feels like this song's message is still relevant to him. it is quite frustrating to hear him talk down on himself in comparison to his members when in reality he is as good as them.

I can't wait for echo album

You’re right the Jin has so much maturity even from a young age. He acts goofy and silly a lot but when he’s serious… you should see him. He’s completely different, authoritative, firm. His duality is insane

Awake is hands down Jin’s best Solo song in their group work.

Oh! how I've waited for this. Thanks guys!! I hope you react to all their short films once you go through the album.

When seokjin did his solo tour, for his two encore shows he actually performed awake as a surprise and it was so incredible 😭 especially considering the meaning of the song and then SEEING just how far he has achieved and accomplished, it’s a very full circle moment

Guys he received a standing ovation for Awake 💜

I just absolutely love a live orchestra 😍😍😍

This is the song that made me his bias... For a long time I was just trying digest bts as a whole... Then seokjin came with AWAKE and EPIPHANY ... And I fell completely head over heals for him😭😭😭

These are the most in touch reactors I've ever met

NOT ASHAMED TO SAY THAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR A LONG TIME!!! Seokjin has said that he doesn't like expressing sad feelings in songs because he only wants to make people happy but mannnn whenever he DOES make this type of song (Awake, Abyss, Epiphany, Tonight, etc.), it's always vulnerable — always touches on the deepest part of ourselves we hide or mask away from the world because we were taught at a very young age that it's a "weakness". And isn't acknowledging the sadness a form of happiness too? I don't know if that's true to most but it's what I've learned through his songs. Thanks for this, guys! 💜

Thanks for resurging my obsession over awake 🤪

The right amount of levitating off your seat for Jin's high notes ☺️

AH FINALLY 😭

Here we go again 😂 hi everyone. I'm seeing familiar names 🫣

Guys, I love how you understand every song. I can already tell this is going to be one of my favorite reactions! You’re doing amazing💜🔥

💜💜

All their solos pop off on wings 🪽 😩

This is my comfort song 🫂

Why won't my volume go higher in my headphones 😔

Love how breathy Jin is 🙂

Im awake and ready 💜

The original background 😝

I am so so so excited for this reaction, I love this song so much 😭😭 the first bts song I ever cried to AHHH I adore this song so much

omgg i love this song

i am obsessed this song, let's go 🥹💜

MY FAV JIN SOLO 💜

Omg 😆😆😆 yay! Thank you guys 💜 Jin wrote this, he was struggling thinking he’s not good enough.. it progressed to acknowledging his personal limitations and choosing to persevere, find hope, and embrace his own path despite feelings of inadequacy, self-doubt, and the pressure of comparison
