Scott & Sam are checking out SAVE ME from BTS per the fans request. It's a one shot wonder (or is it?) the Army thought they would enjoy being that their background is in TV/Film. But is the song any good? Let's see if Scott & Sam enjoy it...

We hope to see you back for the next one.
Cheers and thank you!

you can watch behind making this Mv,
kzhead.info/sun/g8mbl9N7pp2MloE/bejne.htmlsi=oE0lplhfjtz6GfYN
I dont know if youtube lets the link to be posted, but Bangtan subs channel has the behind the scenes video with english subtitles.
Yes
Yes!
Yes... they would love to know that there is a making of behind the scenes for this mv.
It's not specifically about a boy and girl love. It's about friendships and people around you helping you when you are feeling down or going through hard times.
The cameraman is the MVP here imo. Watching him in the behind the scenes, and all that goes into filming a 1 take, he's basically choreographed also. It's amazing really, especially when you consider how bad the weather was to work on that day 😂 💜
one shot not one take, they did multiple takes.
@@sariel8406 'One take' is the correct term too! I think you're thinking of 'first take' maybe? Saying a video is 'one take' just means the video has no cuts, you are watching a single take with no editing. (source: I used to work as an editor)
@@shockofthenewI've been corrected on this in the other direction by professionals who said this was a one shot but *not* a one take. I'm not arguing with you but at this point I've heard different things from people who say they work in the industry 😂 I'm happy to let it go in any case, but I do think "one take" is kind of misleading if you don't do it in... one take... 😅
@@evantesseract737 That's fair enough, I appreciate your skepticism! I do have a degree in editing and have worked in the industry on and off for 15 years, though. I'll try to explain a little more clearly if anyone's interested: In general 'shot' and 'take' have different meanings. 'Shot' tends to refer conceptually to the creative details of the image. Talking about a 'shot' means examining the angle, the lighting, the mis-en-scene, the action etc. Whereas 'take' refers to the whole thing as a single, practical object... the shooting has finished and you now have a 'take', which is a 'thing' that you can pick up and move around in the editing software. If you say "let's try to get the whole thing in one take" it means "let's try to film the whole thing without cutting." Whereas if you say "let's try to get the whole thing in one shot" it means "let's try to frame the angle in such a way that all these objects fit in one image." In this way, saying "one shot" just doesn't make as much sense. Someone might say it casually without thinking, because the terms do get used kind of loosely sometimes, but technically speaking it isn't as correct.
Great conversation. I learned a lot from this. Thank you both for conversing 💜
For all of their videos they do a behind the scenes video. This one is amazing. It's cold and windy running in sand. They run from behind the camera into the scenes, and it is even more amazing to watch that video. Just look up behind the scenes of Save Me
Since I can’t leave a link, search this exact title “[ENG] 160916 [EPISODE] BTS 'Save Me' MV Shooting” by the channel BangtanSubs.
Even the cameraman had his own choreography
This mv totally has no edit. You can watch the mv shooting from Bangtan TV. 1 camera man, 7 boys, shooting in Korea. The weather that day are so cold, raining and strong win but they managed to finish it. You should watch their live performance for this song to enjoy their choreography 😊
Hi from Australia. The behind the scenes is funny watching them all run around behind the cameraman to stay out of shot... they did it many times and it was stormy and cold. Yes it was on a beach and the cameraman is definitely part of the choreography.
Thanks for the info! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Yes please 💜
I love how this song has multiple meanings. So it speaks to everyone. That is art. My favorite thing about BTS music.
I am enjoying your BTS journey, fellas! Thank you for appreciating them the way you do. Save Me is a comfort for many ARMY
Thank you @Sugas7shoulderTat, we are enjoying the ride and ARMY warm welcome 🙏🏼 🙏🏼
There is a “sister song” to Save Me from a later album. It’s called “I’m Fine” and while both are beautiful by themselves, when seeing them performed one after the other it really elevates them both. (You can watch their dance practices) I’m Fine is like the “upside down” to Save Me, from the music to the choreography to the lyrics/theme. I can see how your interpretation would certainly fit for many people. For me personally it becomes about the person(s) around you who help pull out of a difficult or depressive episode. It can even speak to your own “stronger” or more confident self. The “shooting sketch” (making-of video) is very interesting to watch. The weather looked miserable at the beginning when they were practicing (rainy and apparently cold & windy), but they persevered regardless. They release shooting sketches for most MVs and special presentations, even for their solo work and collaborations.
Thank you for your reaction to this unique video. It was actually shot in Saemangeum, Korea, in a tidal flatland. As you can tell, it was a cold, rainy day and the boys were very cold! You'll see how it was done when you watch the behind the scenes making of the video. I'm looking forward to more reactions! 💜
There is a behind the scenes for this one and you can see it is One Shot. It's somewhere on BANGTANTV channel. The guys are running behind the camera guy with a steady cam and an assistant to aide in directing or helping him where to move. It was a miserable day - cold, rainy, windy. The guys were so happy when it was done. There is a coordinating song called "I'M Fine" and they do a Live with Save Me right into I'm Fine. That one is great too.
This was a real one-shot. "Dope" has the clever cuts.
Thank you for the reaction. RM has said that it may also be a call to self.
I'll wait til you get to Fake Love. There's a part there where V has Save Me/I'm Fine ambigram written behind him. Got this tattooed on me. And yes, this is in one shot. You can watch the behind the scenes of it on here.
I think they will really enjoy Fake Love!
I also have this tattooed on my wrist. I am a self harm survivor, so this ambigram really relays how I feel most days. I show “I’m fine” to the world, but inside I am screaming “save me!” 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
You can find the behind the scene to both oN and Save Me on yt. It might interes you. Also... There are dance practices for all their choreographies. Love your reactions 💜
YOU DONT KNOW HOW EXCITED I AM WHEN I SAW MY NOTIF SAID "SAVE ME" REACTION!!! 💜😭 I said to myself, this is it!! Please do more reactions to BTS old music videos, alot of people think BTS' prime is when they got recognition from western music industry but nooooo, this is their prime!! their prime is their old albums. packed with great music, great lyrics, aesthetically pleasing mvs and all. As always, love you guys!! more power 💜🫶🏻
You should really check out the make of/behind the scenes for this MV. It was cold and rainy the day of the shoot. The camera guys were absolutely amazing. Watching them running around trying to keep up with the members. The ground was not flat. I was so surprised the camera guys didn’t trip. BTS has the best camera team in the industry. 💜🫰
You don't have to guess, everything's there in the behind the scenes video. Discreet tricks were used (I saw a great analysis of it on Jeff Orig's channel - a director from Hawaii, also Taylor Mari's boss - originally Taylor's intro video was made for him) but everything was applied to an existing one-shot, it wasn't "patched" out of a few shots. The location was Saemangeum - a tidal flatland on one of the coasts of Korea. This song goes hand in hand with another one - "I'm Fine". The graphic design of those titles is an ambigram - both titles are hidden in one graphic, depending on which side is up. While this song seems sad and melancholic, it's also about reaching for help when you're not well mentally while supposedly happy "I'm Fine" has also the layer of being partially about masking depression. Just as you've guessed - the lore is there. On the first glance one is a sad song and the other one is cheerful but if you'll look closer, just as the graphic suggests, the first one leads to happiness and ther other one can make you spiral down.
Hi Scott & Sam, I’m really enjoying your journey discovering BTS! Their message is for everyone who has an open heart and mind. ARMY is all ages from all over the world, all walks of life. They pick us up when we’re down & they have saved me too. + anecdote : the guys have mentioned in a past interview that it was really difficult to dance on the uneven ground for this mv :) I think you will find Dope mv very interesting production wise. Also Blood Sweat & Tears + Fake Love mv.
This is such a good video. 1 camera man. It was also cold and rainy when they did this. But then again how the video turned out it was a perfect day to do this. The company didn't have a lot of money at this time so they did this of course in 1 one take. But they also did this multiple times to make sure it was perfect, to me that's a lot more work than any other video. And this camera man worked just as hard as the guys knowing their moves and everything props to him
This one shot video just shows how much our boys work and enjoy making great music and videos for us Army's. That's why we love them because they do love us back. I am a 52 mother/grandma who adores these beautiful kind men
Hi guys!! You can watch the MV Shooting. The boys' MV have behind-the-scenes footage and there are also explanatory videos, made by fans, for those more complex videos. Greetings from Chile!! Thanks for the reaction
Since you love an intricate video. Blood, sweat, and tears you guys would love. That video will blow your minds. Layers upon layers. Try to figure it out. Lol
The behind the scenes of this MV is awesome!
You can see the other one with one shot is DOPE. Made in their early years too. Great cinematic
Jungkook “THISISNEVERTHAT” shirt is a trendy brand in South Korea
Sam's "HEY" at the start was so funny haha. Glad you have watched one of the older BTS music videos! This was during the year they started really gaining popularity in Korea. If you want to watch something other than their music videos, there are interviews (Jimmy Fallon, James Cordon etc) you could react to so you can get a better look at their personalities :)
I've watched this MV close to 10 times now and never noticed it was sand before. 😬 So I finally watched the behind the scenes video. Wow. Besides that sand part, I have a whole new view and understanding of the video now! Thanks for reintroducing me to this classic!
Yeah it's wet sand! What a day to record on 😁
Other than Jin who graduated as a film and theater major, all BTS members majored in Broadcast and Entertainment. Other than JK who only graduated in 2022 (born in 1997) all six had finished their master's degree. BTS members are hands-on with their production and that's the reason why they love to take risks and be adventurous in their filming. They understand the industry in all aspects, I guess. This MV was done on a beach on one gloomy day. I highly suggest you watch the making MV
I'm so glad you're reacting to this. This was my first BTS song. The reason I became ARMY years ago! Thank you! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜.
Beautiful song, done in 1 take!
Enjoying your reactions to BTS! Love this song. It's a relatively old one, but it shows their creativity and spirit, I think. It was filmed in Saemangeum, Korea near a seawall. They just beat out an incoming storm while making the video. I don't know who they want to save them, but does it matter? We all call out for someone in those times of need! Keep up the good work! (Can't wait for you to do BTS's Blood, Sweat and Tears....)
They filmed it in Korea. With regards to the lyrics, while it can be taken as a song to someone you love, It is also said over the years that this was written for ARMY, this was written before their first win when they were at risk of disbanding... asking us to save them.... their songs will often have multiple layers and meanings.... The making of this music video with english subs can be found on Bangtan Subs KZhead channel... the camera Man and his assistant got one hell of a workout that day, watching them weaving in and out of the dancing was so impressive. kzhead.info/sun/g8mbl9N7pp2MloE/bejne.html
Huh. I hadn’t seen Save Me’s lyrics in that light before but they do fit that scenario (even though the song was released a year after I NEED YOU and they were probably already past the hurdle, it may have been written way before). I feel like House of Cards is even more specifically about that period of time before they were “saved” from being disbanded by the success of that album series and that’s what makes it so emotional.
You can see more of their deeper selves on their channel Bangtan TV. They have not changed since their debut. They are beautiful-minded people who have never lost their hearts on their debut even though they have reached the highest ranks. They always care about their fans and are at the top of their minds. Such heartfelt appearances, heart, attitude, and crushable live performance. Now, the fans and BTS have become one and go all the way. I've never seen a musician like this before. ❤❤And there's Jungkook's solo album ‘Golden‘. Among them, there's the title track, ‘standing next to you’, and the Times Square performance. Please react to this. I subscribed❤❤
We can't talk about BTS without idol
Behind the scenes is a must
It was a rainy day at the beach. You can watch the behind the scenes! I'm sure you'll love it 😊
Hello gentlemen! Great to see you again! Cheers! It's a one take for sure! 😊💜🫡loving the tees!
I'm early today! Thanks for checking out more BTS!
I like your reaction videos of bts as well. I am surprised to see you here...but thank you so much for bts reaction.
Greetings 💜🥰💜
@tinaaikaa77 fancy seeing you here! 😁
@@Teamo.bora. I'm happy you enjoy my reactions!
I love you guys💜💜. Thank you!!
Guys I recommend you see the behind the scenes of the mv !!
there's a behind the scenes for this one that's really interesting!
I always appreciate y'all sharing your thoughts even if you are unsure about it! ♥️ There are some recordings they did in Jimmy Fallon's late night show ("Home," "Mikrokosmos," "Idol," etc)! I encourage yall to watch!
I think you should really react to some behind-the-scenes scenes from the earlier MVs; fake love behind the scenes is amazing as well!!!
“Save Me” is my favourite BTS song 😃
It’s quite catchy!
The behind the scenes for Save me shows the hard work and effort of both the guys and their production teams and crew. If your looking for other making mv’s Tae has recently released Fri(end)s which has a making off, in England. Interesting and amusing at the same time.💜
There are behind the scenes of most of their music videos
Thank you guys, i love BTS so much, ARMY BRASIL 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Yes. Please watch the Behind the Scenes about this MV. Since you are producers, I think you would love it. You'll see how they really got the famous One Shot. And you will see them rehearsing in a storm. I have no idea why their mgmt didn't stop and film another day. I have no clue why they didn't all succumb to pneumonia. But, you know. They are strong lads with strong bodies and determined commitment and just love what they are doing. Note. Almost all MV's have Behind the Scenes. And, most have non costumed and no set dance practices. And it's really not an official practice. It's a polished run-through before they film the MV. Thanks again for your fun reactions. Who knows? Maybe someday you could produce a video for them. Their company, Hybe, is in the U.S. too now. Scooter Braun of the famous Justin Beiber runs it. Yes. Hybe bought out Scooter's company, and Justin and all Scooter's clients are under the same company as BTS! ""Butter" is the 2nd all English song they put out after the pandemic was kind of calming down. "Dynamite" was their first. And "Permission to Dance" was the 3rd one. Watch it next. They wanted fun songs for the world to hear to promote hope and faith in things getting better. These songs all went to #1 on Billboard, which elated the boys. And stayed on top for weeks. They were even nominated for their first Gramm. They performed "Butter" Live on the Grammy show. They created a new exciting memorable concept with some new exciting choreography to wow the audience and the world. Note. Jin had hand surgery and couldn't dance the complex choreography. But he joined them on stage for the last verses. It's worth watching. And just so you know..all these songs have remixes into different genres. There is the Cooler and Hotter version of "Butter". There is a fun and silly version where they wear and change into crazy costumes. So be on the lookout for all versions of their songs. And Live Performances. They tweak them to be different each time so as not to be boring to the audience. Enjoy.
A couple things -- it was filmed in Korea (not sure exactly where) and it was a cold, drizzley day. The guys were miserable. I really encourage you to watch their "making of" video(s). There is a later song (I'm Fine) which is sort of an "answer" to Save Me. RM (actually all the guys) love it when you interpret their songs personally - what it means to you. But, just so you know, they are of mixed religions. (i.e. they are not all Christian.) But they respect everyone's beliefs.
Thanks for doing a reaction on save me🎉 guys, you can do another reaction on Bangtantv save me behind the scenes😊
Hi there. It’s so good to see another BTS reaction from you two. Just an fyi about BTS songs. It is extremely RARE that they would sing songs about an intimate relationships. They leave it open for others to interpret, however, because they always have had concepts or storylines with their albums and the songs within them that there is more depth. They are not a group who does the typical love songs. BTS has several songs that has an explanation videos done by individual armies because of the complexity of the song and mv. All of them are informative and will clear up some questions. Two songs I highly recommend that you watch an explanation videos are Blood Sweat and Tears by a channel called Don’t Worry I’m Not Afraid and Spring Day by an Italian army. Thank you and I look forward to your next BTS reaction.
If you want to see how they filmed Save Me and behind the scenes, there's ' [EPISODE[ BTS Save Me MV Shooting' video that you can look up.
I enjoyed your reaction! It's interesting to hear from producers... I hope you'll react to Fake Love and Blood, Sweat and Tears soon!
Add me into those saying the behind the scenes on this is well worth it. Simply miserable filming conditions but they did it!
They shot the video at the beach near the water outside somewhere.
Please watch the making of "Save Me". Also, in the OMV of "Fake Love" the writing on the mirror is an ambigram which reads "Save Me" & "I'm Fine". Both are BTS songs & yes, they have deep meanings. BTS are all multi-talented, yet remain humble. Love them! Thanks, enjoy your reaction!
Thank you for checking out "save me"!😄 I'd also say watching the "MV shooting" episode would be very interesting for you two, it would answer quite a lot of your questions😉. It is posted on the bangtantv channel, however, this was before they routinely put subs on everything. So on the bangtansubs channel would be a way to watch it with good quality subs 👍
V and jk ❤
Thanks for the reaction 💜
Reaction bts fake love ❤ Amei a reação 🇧🇷❤
New subscriber here! I landed to your channel because of BTS! 💜 I already watched all your reactions to BTS in one sitting. Lol! So far, I loved and hope you continue reacting to them. It will be easy to get more than 10k followers if you will continue. Haha! Skip Butter… react to their older songs in Korean. They are way better than their all-English songs. The messages are great and with more depth. I follow a lot of reactors to BTS and you became one of my favorites. I don’t subscribe to anyone’s Patreon but I will continue watching you here. Thank you!!! 💜
There’s a making of the save me mv. You can check that out and see how they did it.
Felicitări BTS cei mai talentați frumoși perfecți tare dor de ei ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I urge you all to watch Spring Day, it's The Queen of MVs. But when you watch it, you must also watch an explanation video. It covers some somewhat heavy content.
Thank you for the reaction!!! They are indeed very versatile. Can you please react to BTS's jhope's new album 'HOPE ON THE STREET' it's gonna come out on 29th March Friday!
Omg,we miss BTS so much😢..anyways,2025 we will be back..
thanks for your reaction!
You can clearly see how freezing they are..their knuckles are so red.. I think you should see war of hormone. It's also a one shot video
you should react to i need u and run!! they are part of what we call the “BU” (the bts universe) which is basically a storyline that follow through some bts albums. Theses two music videos are very cinematic in a way. They are worth watching
when BTS shoots a MV there is always a behind the scene s they don t uses greenscreen a lot its always a real setting
Here is the BTS of Save Me🤭. kzhead.info/sun/rMOmdc9xcJ16nYE/bejne.htmlsi=StEK33HFjgV20TYH You got the fact that they have layers to everything they do. The dance breaks are their bread and butter💜
There is an MV shooting film available and plenty of BTS lyric/mv explanations on yt.
You can watch the behind the scenes for making this MV. It was very cold that day, they strugled a lot LOL
Girls generation - I got a boy. It is a trend-setting song and an important part in the history of k-pop. It is a brilliant example of how they mix different musical styles. A lot of second generation k-pop is groundbreaking and still holds up. ex 2Ne1, Big Bang, Shinee, 2PM, Kara, Wonder girls, Super junior
Now you've watched save me you need to do I'm Fine. They are the reversal of each other and are twinned. They even have an ambigram to depict the two songs :)
Pueden ver el detras de camaras!!🎉🎉 gracias por sus reacciones!! Los chicos son un amor!!💜💜
While the lyrics are someone asking to be saved, they actually end up thanking the person(s) for all the things they've done that saved them, finally saying "Thank you for becoming us," so to me it's a happy song. Also, the music is mostly upbeat. It's ironic that "Save Me" is the happy song, while "I'm Fine," the song that lyrically and sonically mirrors "Save Me," is the one that sounds melancholy and has kind of depressing lyrics. The singer is saying they're fine, but they're really not. They're just at that turning point where you decide you're going to start to try to be fine, even though you're still hurting.
Until the MVs for "ON: Kinetic Manifesto" and "Black Swan" (both filmed in LA), all of BTS' MVs were filmed in South Korea. (J-Hopes' "Chicken Noodle Soup" was filmed in LA as well, but that was a solo project).
Please watch behind the scenes. It rained on them during rehearsal and when not in scene they hid behind the camera man. Tks guys
‘I need u’ by bts
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
the behind the scenes are pretty cool! u should check it out. lots of love from brazil!
Watch the shooting sketch of the making of it Illustrates not just how it it was shot but also shows how dedicated the members are For me it seems at a certain point around 2015 -2016 when they say you or her they mean army… they never did do many “love” songs about romantic relationships and that genre pretty much disappears from their catalogue Thks for fun remarks and keep going pls 💜
To me what shows it’s one shot is the clouds and the light over the guys. Always in the same spot that’s not possible when you have cuts or would have to edit and correct that…also, watching the behind the scenes it was cool how they had to repeat so many times and even had to leave a few mistakes, it’s not perfect and that is actually what makes it more real to me too. I do have a lot of respect for the camera guy after watching the making of this😅. I agree with some others here in the comments, you guys may enjoy Blood, sweat and tears mv, or Fake Love mv. Greetings from Washington D.C!
As these comments reveal, BTS produces a behind tbe scenes making of the music videos for every release or most. Please understand that the majority of us ARMY do not just blow steam to prop up the guys.
Please react to the making of the mv!
kzhead.info/sun/g8mbl9N7pp2MloE/bejne.htmlsi=jjqxfRvbH9Z9q83g
Yes, from Bangtan subs channel, they have the video with subtitles.
Just about every MV has a behind the scenes MV...you could react to the MV then to Making of....😊
Thank you for this reaction.
There is a complementary song to "Save Me" called "I'm Fine" in which the beat is the same but played backwards.
I know other people have already mentioned, but yes, this is a one-shot, and you can see some behind the scenes footage in another video. However, if you are interested in seeing editing tricks used to mimic a one-shot, I would check out Dope! A lot of reactors watch it and question whether or not it's a one-shot because the transitions are so smooth.
Very few of their songs are overtly about romantic love (other than a few in their early School album trilogy). Mostly often its left up to the interpreter. In my case I see this more like someone who had recognized that they need help and are attempting to reach out for a helping hand, whether that's from a loved one or from internally within yourself. If you want to try for something different in the future, 'Idol' is a completely fun and hype song with a trippy MV. You will definitely want to add an explained video as a follow up though since the MV is packed with hidden meanings (layers as you said) and cultural Korean references. If you want to pack in a live performance as well, their version of 'Idol' at the 2018 MMA awards is iconic.
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. Would love to see you react to the 'behind' with english subs. Yes one guy who knew the choreo and looked like he got more of a workout than the guys LOL. And if you watch you see how pinky Jung Kooks hands are, and that is because it was damp and cold that day and they practiced in the rain for a bit before the filming it. Anywho, thanks again,
It looked like a pretty awful day lol. Yeah we can imagine the camera guy running all over the place making sure he gets all the right shots when he needs to.
Loved your reaction on Save me by BTS J-HOPE of BTS will be releasing his album “Hope on the street” on Friday March 29th. Featuring his new single NEURON, and a brand new collaboration with Jungkook (of BTS). I would love to watch your reaction on Jhope's artistry 🙇♀️ #JHOPE #BTS
There's a behind the scenes where u can see it's one shot
I really hope you watch the behind the scenes of this
Aqui pelo BTS 💜💜💜🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 Obrigado pela atenção
I think it would be really cool if you guys reacted to the MVs and the behind the scenes in the same video, as tv producers, i would like to know your thoughts and inputs in the making of the MVs, they have behind the scenes videos for all of them!
Good idea!
G-Dreagon, the king of K-pop. Crooked and Untiteld. He is a trendsetter. He introduced light sticks because he wanted to see his fans clearly in the audience. He started with crazy hair colors so that his fans would see him clearly. He was among the first to be on Bilbord, but unfortunately never in 1st place.
