It's so cool that Suga produced the beat of the dance break 7 years ago.
Where did he say that?

Woow 😍😍
I mean I’m not surprised ever since that video where RM said he produces like a song everyday😂
@@chickenmcnuggets9669 Hahaha ikr
Okay, but actually Brianna’s analysis of the kinetic manifesto was so interesting. I feel like a learnt a lot
Same! I didn’t know that you could find black culture in marching band.
Lol "black ppl make music and this is music" wow so poignant
Me too. Interesting.
@@fairy-1516 you'd be surprised how much of "american" or western culture is actually black.
fairy - the origins of marching bands started in the 1700s by African Americans who were used as musicians instead of frontline troops, which established military music from which marching bands evolved.
The fact that people think jungkooks voice is autotuned when he’s singing no microphone just chillin lol that high note is special af from big boy jk
It’s auto tuned, we all know they can sing live. But auto tune it’s not just for fixing vocals, it’s also used to add effects specially in k-pop. Some people prefer more raw vocals.
ON deserved so much more. It's so sad that some Army think it's just "okay" or just "good" ON is a masterpiece. The lyrics, the music, the vocals, the dance, everything.
This mv actually brought me to bts.
Ikr ..it's just whole masterpiece !! But some army think that it's just okay we forget after some days ..like the situation was like that ... But majority army love the song ..I myself love it ..
ON is still one of my favourites hands down, it deserves better!
Same I like ON way more than fake love, idol, butter ect
It's literally my favorite song in their more recent tracks. I want to move on from Dynamite/Butter types of songs and get back to some deeper and more thoughtful music.
the way black culture and freedom was highlighted in this... im so glad someone said it!!! on was really underrated for a bts song
yup!! i was so happy to see it
^^
Hbcu bands 🙏🏻🔥
I’m saying this again,, ON is one of BTS best title tracks in fact maybe THE BEST. Why? The vibe of the song, the lyrics, the dance, and the thing that made this the best is the passion. ON feels like a rebirth, and this feels like BTS saying yes we went through so much (NO) and now we’re up here but we must remain humble and stick to our true selves. It’s like the rebirth of BTS passion for music. It can run an artist dry to keep expressing every drip of artistry for 7 years straight and this in a way makes ON feel like BTS unleashing their passion. It feels like the old BTS but much more mature and stronger.
Yes I love how you say this
I also agree. I think it’s one of their best comebacks because it showcases what BTS do best- intense choreography, powerful dancing, angelic falsettos, smooth rap verses, and experimental music with a core of hip-hop. This was BTS’ era rather than one specific member. ON is *the* best introduction to BTS’ music I can give nonfans.
I don't get why this song got so much hate..it deserved more hype than dynamite [ sorry , not sorry ]..it is grammy worthy for sure..The lyrics , music video , choreography , sick beats , concept , symbolism..every thing is on point..
Pue Roy I agree, but I’m biased. I dislike bubblegum pop songs because they feel *so* shallow. Dynamite served its purpose and gave me only good vibes, but I tend to look for songs with substance. I can only tolerate songs like Dynamite, Boy With Luv, DNA, and the other pop tracks from Persona because this is a purely conceptual and experimental genre for BTS.
@@nerasomnia True..I personally like/prefer mature/dark/emotional concept..because I like songs with deep meaning and symbolism..I find it very creative..Songs like DNA , Dynamite , Go Go , Anpanman , Boy with love are not for me..cuz I don't really like bubbly songs..but I definitely don't hate these..it feels refreshing ngl..[ sorry , if I am exaggerating too much lol ]
"I didn't know they were that deep" LEGIT, like as yoongi said, you'll enjoy bts even more if you listen without prejudice, they aren't THIS famous from being 'just another kpop group'
every single people who say bts is overrated is definitely missing the depth of bts
@@_yeojoExactly
13:26 Autotune is for texture, they have tons of live shows if you wanna hear it without it, and same with the harmonies which are not very noticeable here but are clear when they do it live. Bangtan are the one group that sounds even better live, JK did the high note strapped in Corden's car.
They had to autotone some portions because of the venue...that dam was massive!@!💜💜💜🤟
She’s not saying they can’t sing, whatever the reason is for autotune it just doesn’t sound good for some ears.
FINALLY, my girl Brianna did all the speaking for me. I was waiting for someone to realize the stepping and she was so spot on. I step myself so when I saw On for the 1st time I was really shocked that I saw stepping in the video but I really appreciated it being there. So shout out to Brianna and BTS
& also the choreographer! The choreographer is sienna from the lab!
I could feel her passion coming through the screen (much like our bois BTS). I am inspired to look up different routines and marching bands. Thank you!
Personally I don't mind the autotune, as we know that they can sing. I guess it's for artistic expression and the autotune used for each individual member suits their voice. This song got robbed.
Agreed. I see how it was an issue for some people with dynamite as it was a very vocal heavy track but with ON it’s much more percussion heavy and has actual rap verses. The use of autotune here is much more fitted stylistically especially at rapline’s parts.
If it was an artistic choice then it didn't work. That auto-tuning-ish thing throws the whole vocal line off the rest of the piece completely. And it sticks out so much that you cannot just ignore it in a otherwise good piece.
Actually, they can autotune their own voice =))) Anyone who doesn't like autotune music can watch BTS perform "ON" at Grand Central Terminal for The Tonight Show to see that they really sing live and dance like there is no tomorrow at the same time (y)
@@maryn6792 it did work though. Where did it not work? They tuned their voices their respective colors very well. The only part where it didn’t do it’s job that well was when J-Hope and suga switched parts. And even that is such a minor gripe.
Nah, it didn't actually work. In terms of vocal line, artists usually land either on full-on Solo approach, or 'vocals as just one more instrument'. Everything in between actually requires meticulous work in order to even sound decent, and because of that is not present in any pop music. In this piece, vocal line does not sound as a full-on Solo (because of that much post processing). And it's not mixed in as an instrument either. That's why vocal line sticks out so much.
This HURTS ME. ON, Black Swan amd ALLLLL of Map of the Soul 7 was supremely ROBBED.
Yea... I know...That's why they have been performing the hell out of them in all recent award shows! I'm really glad for that.
@@Tsukinousagi7 AMEN.
hey can i ask what you mean by they were robbed?? like what happened?
it doesn’t get as much attention since new comebacks and stuff,....i think
@@isabelnecessary5915 ON was a huge production and they poured their everything into MOTS7 (as they do with everything) but this one was special. They were only getting started with promo in the states then the pandemic hit and everything changed- the trajectory at that time with the new single suggested that their presence on American screens would've been tremendous.
I love the guy going on the " I didn't realize BTS was that deep" journey
Charlotte: "are those dead animals?" *shocked & sad* umu: "dead people" Charlotte & Henry: "oh okay" *relief sigh* priorities done right! lol
But they missed the dead dove that jin bent down and took back with him in the cage and then the revival of the dove
Same tho lmao
Thst's how I react!
sick
Yeah, I was like " Huh" when she breathed a sigh of relief because they were dead bodies instead of dead animals. Both are bad but Wow.

@@antieve9915 HAHAHAHAA
@@antieve9915 yes hahahaha i so epic and meme of every army hahahaha its react to the k imiss you umu unnie
21:15 Brianna talking about the connection between the message of freedom in ON and the history of stepping and it maybe being the reason why they chose that in their choreo in the dance break. That's very interesting
Jungkooks high note always gives me chills...
"I didn't know they were this deep"... it makes me so sad that people don't know that BTS are known for their deep and inspiring lyrics as well for sharing their experiences of life. Also the autotune is on purpose. They deliberately use it to emphasise the beat.
they know the autotune is on purpose. autotune gets a bad rep but is a really useful tool and can be used effectively in music. some of the reactors just didn't like the use of it overall/in certain places. as more people make the effort to read about the background behind songs or read translated lyrics (im talking from a western social culture perspective) i think it will become expected for bts to be known as artists that write with a purpose
@@WitchlightNW true true. Autotune is used for artistic purposes and Suga and the other rappers use it for such purposes a lot 😊
And don’t forget their confusing storylines! I still don’t know what blood sweet & tears is about tbh! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Estela Lopez nah bighit supervises the visual imageries aka bangtan universe storylines but the messages they want to put in their songs are still pretty much directed mainly by bts. they’re still personal to the members themselves. which is why i’m more than excited to see how BE will turn out like bc the members themselves are the ones who directs the visual concepts along with the overall message which is new for them.
@Estela Lopez a lot of people contribute to the production of a record
umu: was it when they started floating? jason: *shook pikachu face* what? they started floating? umu: well no, like, aurally. IM WHEEZING SO HARD 😂
same lmao the shock on his face 🤣
**euphoria jungkook has entered the chat**
I found your comment right as it happened 🤣
It's aurally? I thought they said orally.
I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENT LMAO I CAN'T STOP WHEEZINGGG
Jungkook actually did that high note section live, sitting down, and cramped in a backseat in James Corden's Carpool Karaoke as well. 😉👍
The auto tune was definitely intentional. The song itself gives off the notion of rebirth - its the 7th year, overcoming the 7 year curse that most artists go through, resigned with their company and heading into a new space as a group. Therefore to create this almost cathartic hallow vibe, auto tune is very smartly placed throughout the song. Not throughout the whole piece though, as some may think. Other people feel that the autotune is there to signify/place emphasis on the 'pain' aspect of the song.
18:40 - "Alright, we're having the Troy-Bolton-looking-at-his-reflection-in-High-School-Musical-2 moment." I hate how I immediately knew what Kevin was going to reference as soon as he said Troy Bolton 😂
Off topic, but I really like how Kevin has been a constant since Day 1 on this channel. It’s like seeing how my second gen faves are adapting to third and fourth gen trends.
He's the Taemin of ReacttotheK

“i didnt know they were that deep” oh have i got news for you-
Yes Brianna, educate!👏🏾👏🏾 One of the many things I love about bts is that they’ve never been afraid to give credit to black culture that’s so clearly incorporated into their music and kpop in general.
이 사람들 찐인게 비주얼적인 얘기는 거의 안하고 오로지 음악이랑 음향에만 집중하면서 얘기함....뮤비는 그냥 눈달렸으니까 보는거고 모든 신경이 귀쪽에만 가 있음 곡전개랑 어디서 무슨 소리가 나는지 이런것만 얘기함...ㅋ
한국인!!
오오오오
Charlotte: Are those dead animals? Umu: Dead people. Charlotte and Henry : oh 😌
Like damn, okay then😳💀
lmao
when brianna started talking about the stepping during the dance break i was like so surprised cause i didnt even notice that. omg her explanation of it was great and yet again, your videos have me thinking more deeply about songs and music videos!!!! love your videos so much
"I didn't know they were that deep" I wish people knew this because they don't have millions of fans for nothing, they're inspiring artist and very good people
Henry: absolutely obsessed with Suga's rap part Me: same
I think what Brianna was saying was so interesting bc it's something I would've never noticed and whether or not that was BTS' intent it's such an interesting and amazing interpretation Also surprisingly the autotune didn't turn me off for this but I get it. usually it does make me not vibe as much as other songs without it.
Warning: every reaction video will get bland after watching classical musicians’ reaction 😂 I really like that they are probably the only one who can fully understand the history behind BTS’ music. Especially the part where one of them explained about the black “stepping dance”

I'm watching this after seeing the Black Swan art film react. They have definitely ruined all other reactors for me.
Mine too except Knox hill, I think so the way he breaks down BTS as well as other K-pop artist is really accurate and good
as an army, i feel so honored to have bts for the first episode of this season. (im not even bts but i feel so honored in behalf of them haha) and brianna's commentary was so informative. i feel like i just gained another perspective to the song and dance. so excited for more commentary from this group of people!
*henry the entire video* “geeks out and fanboys” *henry during his analysis* “talks about how great Suga is with his beats and the rhythms he follows”
Thankyou for giving ON the appreciation it deserves because it has been criminally underrated ~ to me it’s an anthem for BTS with so many layered elements of power and striking themselves as “we are here to stay” and the idea of freedom. ALSO YES THIS DANCE BREAK IS AMAZING CAN PEOPLE STOP SLEEPING ON ON.
literally MY TOP 3 favorite song from them. It gives me everything PLUS more. Sadly and weirdly I have seen a handful of tiktoks where people actually rate it last😩 I don't get it AT ALL
Charlotte + henry combo was so amazingly good and funny
Fact - 2013 BTS song " NO " time Taehyung posted a selfie with face tattoo under his eyes ( what he draw it himself) and 2020 BTS song " ON " MV he's using it that same face tattoo under his eyes and even those neck tattoo also his own idea... Those tattoos makes MV more amazing and his appearance being more powerful...
Umu, you forgot to mention that the dancers that start off the manifesto film are a dance group called The Lab, who won one season of World of Dance. The girl in the center in the beginning is the choreographer. But all in all, this was an amazing reaction, even if I am a little late to the party. As a sound engineering major, and a fellow instrument player, this defiantly brings me so much joy to hear BTS, even during this time of year. Thank you so much for giving us this reaction and have a healthy and safe semester. Yours truly, Your fellow musician
There are...so many new reactors...that I must now adopt . Ngl i temporarily forgot how much this song SLAPS and this was a GREAT reminder (Cloud I'm with you tho - the autotune is a bit of a no). Also wanted to say: the filming and editing quality has improved so much over the years and I can't imagine all the planning you had to do with COVID - you guys have done an awesome job!!
actually the only parts within the song that have heavy autotune are the raps, most people think jimin's opening has autotune but no he literally just sings like that
@@ethanarmes3221 nah there are vocal effects on all the vocals in the song - its a little more subtle with the vocalists than the raps but I just listened to it again and it's pretty obvious. if you don't think so then i agree to disagree
who are these people? maybe they didn't even made a good beat yet and still coming and making faces over BTS songs...ughkkkkk
@@jiminbts2133 what
that's honestly my problem with the newer bts songs, not that i hate them their new songs slap, but the autotune is a bit much, it could've been better if the heavy autotuning was only put on the raps but its pretty obvious that too much autotune was also used for the singing parts (especially jungkook's high note, also didn't like the transition from the dance break to the last chorus), but the song still slays its a good song, im just stating my opinion about a song.
Ahhh there are so many things I want to say but I’m not good at putting them into a cohesive paragraph so I’ll just list them- 1. Kudos to the new reactors bc they must have been a little bit nervous with them being new to all of this, yet they were still able to give their genuine reactions and also lots of musical insight! I don’t know why but I liked Jason the best. Seems like a genuine and cool person! Really loved their vibe throughout the whole video. It was also really nice to see some familiar faces haha. Love the old gang. 2. I am seriously impressed with the editing of this video- there must have been soooo much footage omg and having to cut parts and decide what to keep must have taken an INSANE amount of time. The editing overall was also just really solid and easy to watch with really smooth transitions between reactors. great editing skills. Your time and effort doesn’t go unnoticed Umu! 3. I really appreciate how they reacted to both mvs! I was not expecting that at all and was pleasantly surprised! 4. And lastly, great research about the song- from the producers to lyrics and interpretations to appearances in the song (such as the choir and marching band). You always do some background research and share it but I just feel as though there was a lot for On haha. Thanks for this amazing video and sorry for this long ass essay :)
ON is in my top 5 BTS tracks. The Kinetic Manifesto mv is *DIVINE* 💜
I've watched the music video several times, but it only just hit me now (as one of you mentioned) the biblical references but also the parallels between it and Plato's allegory of the cave. Given that the whole album runs with the motif of one's shadow being one's biggest enemy, it seems very fitting to me that it would allude to Plato's shadows on the wall of the cave. Pair that with Suga's solo song from this album, Interlude: Shadow, it seems so powerful that the shadow (an allegory for our doubts, insecurities, and other negative emotions) that lingers and holds us back isn't as rooted in reality as we lead ourselves to believe.
SEASON 5!! :) the camera quality so clear! Love that crisp HD. Been watching since season 1, it's been amazing to see this channel grow so much in just a few years
The way Brianna explained things about the history of music and everything that relates to it had me EDUCATED and I love it
The guy in maroon (Sam) I feel like hes saying that even thou BTS has their own struggles they still find a way to help those people around them that also struggling. BTS' music are really inspiring and the messages or content in each of their music is really relatable and educational.
This is a masterpiece! My intro to BTS!
But seriously though, I liked ON when it was released but it did not really age well for me because I was not a fan of the autotune. After watching this video, I appreciate this song 100x more now and listening to it again felt almost like an entirely new sonical experience. Thank you Umu for opening us up to great music and for making us appreciate songs in a way that we tend to overlook. Listening to K-Pop has been wayyy more fun and interesting since I encountered this channel. 😊
Ugh I couldn't agree more
I think bts has always been a band that uses autotone as a creative tool rather than something to fix issues with vocals. I actually like they play around and mess with it. For me its like changing the tinge or the hue in a painting to that its color is different
CheerUp2 Yeah, I can really appreciate how BTS use autotune for a purpose even if it grates my ears. For example: Black Swan will never be my favorite song, but I appreciate the hell out of it. It’s also kind of why I can’t like TXT’s music as much as I want too. Run Away, New Rules, and Blue Orangeade were probably the only tracks I loved.
if you need people to influence how you like a song :/ thats lame
@@nerasomnia Then again I was a teen in 2007-2015 so all the pop song has crazy autotone. So alot of my favorite songs back then had it, so I actually love it lmaoooo. But its funny considering most of the music I listen to outside of kpop is indie, punk, alternative stuff
I love how brianna eloborated the marching band thing and the style and the influence thanks
kevin's interpretation was absolutely amazing it's very different from like a common interpretation *kevin always has pretty different interpretations I LOVE THIS CHANNEL
ON always makes me tear up especially the dance break because it is nice to see a part of one my cultures i grew up embraced with the stepping, chants and how one of the reactors mentioned the HBCU marching band feel. It Made me feel like I was at a FAMU halftime show kind of. It just really felt special and this entire album should be nominated and win a Grammy for how well done it is.
The first time I saw the kinetic manifesto I immediately went back to my college days when I could watch fraternity pledges perform stepping routines on the quad at lunch. I'm happy to know I wasn't wrong to think they were influenced by HBCU traditions!
The upgrade in quality from s4 to s5 is AMAZING!! It's so crispy I love it, also props to Umu for editing all the diff footage and audio together I can just imagine how much of a hell there would be if the footage isn't organized

List of all upcoming reactions into January in the top pinned comment .. it's a Google pdf.. there's a few I can't wait to see. I'd love to see a reaction to So Hyang - Arirang Alone at some point ;)
10:21 girl explained the marching band influence so very well!! More power to you, girl!
The main message in this MV was the last words: No more dream ===> Dream. They didn't have a dream but thanks to this liberating experience, they now have a dream. Freeing yourself from the shadows of YOURSELF ( represented by the hooded 7 members in the dance break scene, with the conch as the soundscape to gather everyone) YOU ARE LIBERATED, TO LOVE YOURSELF.
I've been waiting for this!!^^ thank you for reacting to 'ON'. Love you guys!!! 💜
Yes Brianna @9:50 and @21:25 for that explanation and breakdown. That break was very reminiscent of classic black high school and university marching bands. Heavy percussion, hard beats allowing for that intense routine similar to a classic HBCU fraternity/sorority step routine.
I’m SO excited to see Jason react to more K-pop because “that was a lot to take in” is a common theme here.
So, BTS performed this in Korea after they debuted the song in L.A. They used a stadium with Korean marching bands and College cheer squad. FOR AN AWARD SHOW! 😂 Also available on YT the indoor practice of ON with the entire background dancers in Los Angeles.
I’m going to have to say that this is my favorite BTS-On reaction. You guys took the song and actually reviewed it, whether it was the message of the song or the actual music and everything that went into it. It’s like you all went into my brain, took information out, and added details, understanding, and depth within your explanation. A++ 😁😁😄👍🏽
"They were floating😵" I'm gonna like him in the upcomming vids
Tbh for me ON is like a top 3 fav title track 1.Run 2.DNA 3.ON 4.BST 5.SPRING DAY
Damn, Queen Spring Day is low on the list.
oh finally someone that appreciates Run (it's also my fave title track by them)
Mines BST, ON, FAKE LOVE, SPRING DAY, DNA
1. Butterfly, ON, Go go, jamais vu, so many more
@@y2m3e.45 we're talking about title tracks
I have to thank not just your channel but also your patrons for having this reaction vid. This is what Ive been looking for.
Everytime ON along with the powerful message and video gives me chills. Literally epic, an anthem and declaration!
I loved the information Brainna shared I would NEVER come up with those lol , it's so interesting that it's been 8 months since the song has been realease and I find out something new about it and the video everytime I watch it or listen to the song ! On is an amazing experience, it sounds like nothing I've heared in my life 😂 they brought musical elements which are WORLDS apart together and it did turn out amazing ! Not flawless since it's experience , but really impressive overall ! I just whish they continue experiencing with music like this for every comeback in future ! And I love the new reactors , the editing is amazing and I love the small changes in the new season , Reactyothek is the best kpop channel ! Y'all are doing GREAT ! Big thanks to you !
15:32 "are those dead animals , no that's people ,oh that's ok " 🤣🤣🤣 live for that moment
I actually love this video so much, it's making me remember how crazy everything about this cb and how electrifying it was to watch it all come together!
Brianna OMG was like great! She really brought up a dynamic that a lot of people don't realise when it comes to the dance break cause culturally it can be different. But right away I was like omg they're stepping and when my mom saw it she said the same thing and then mentioned the krumping. So I really like the aspect and POV Brianna brought to the video in regards to that. Also I'm so glad this channel is back yes!
Everything about On feels so grand and epic! The marching band. The dance break. The lyrics. Jungkook's bridge - ICONIC. There's so much passion in this song, it's beautiful!!
I love this track, I'm one of those people that don't mind the autotune. :D Thank you for reacting to this, I liked to listen to you talking about this song.
I really loved hearing Brianna's insights on her (our) culture! It was really nice that she went into the historical background of stepping + marching bands and their correlation with the meaning of the 2020 BTS song, ON. I feel like I can enjoy it (ON) even more now.
its so good to see yall back cant wait for the next vid!
ooo that marching band and black culture perspective...that's new to me! That's a pretty cool insight
LETS GOOOOO SEASON 5!!!! HERE'S TO ANOTHER AMAZING SEASON OF CMR!
This video must have taken a lot of effort to edit and the reactor's thought were really interesting, this is just on another level when it comes to reaction videos thank you for making it!
I still get hyped up no matter how many times I listen to "ON", their analysis are so insightful & I love their reactions.
Classical Musicians React has come a loooong way :") What a great start for Season 5!
The new reactors seems really nice ☺️ love the video
I always learn a lot with the videos, but this one totally changed my perspective of the song. Thank you Brianna!!!
This is by far the best reaction everrr!! So many technical wordssss and they are amazing musicians
Great start for a new season! This song never seizes to amaze me, and I love that you showed both MVs’. I'm just sad that I'm working and don't have time to do the Korean subs :(
No worries, I recently hired a few people to translate our videos into Korean, so translations will be up for this video soon! Good luck with work!!
ReacttotheK Yeah, I remember you mentioning that; I just want to do it in a ‘possessive’ kind of way😆 I like to think of it as my own way of showing my appreciation. Good luck with this new season!
Amazing start for the 5th Season 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I love the new reactors and their perspectives of the song. Looking forward to other videos 😊
I'm smiling ear to ear watching this, i fell in love with ON all over again. Thank you for reacting to this.
I LOVED BRIANNA’S perspective and review. KEVIN’S review amazing! This was a great review. Learned much and looked deeper into the video and messages. BTS is so symbolic in their music and m/v’s, but the whole thing is amazing. I’m speechless and mind blown 🤯. Thank you! Keep ‘me coming!
one of the most insightful reactions i’ve watched yaaay so excited for season 5
great video as always umu, thank you for all the work you put into this channel! I’m super excited for this new season and to get to know all the new reactors! & I love seeing some old faces too!
this was very insightful, esp when Brianna was talking about the dance break and the stepping, thank you for reacting!
I always find your reactions very educational. Thank you! 💜
The reactors : talking about technical musical stuff with numbers Me , who has no idea what anything means : uh huh yeah totally ikr such brains
never know that I really miss the Intro so much.... welcome to CMR season 5.....so excited!!! can't wait for the others videos
I LOVED ALL THE NEW REACTORS!!! AHH I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS SEASON AHHHH
I love how you guys are so honest. Keep up the good work!
Great video! I'm really looking forward to this new season and I think its amazing how much this channel has grown. I think I've been subscribed since season 2? And I'm glad I can help out in some small way via patreon, keep up the great work Umu!
I HAD THE SAME EXACT REACTION AS THEM WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT THE BLUE DEVILS PERFORMED W BTS ALSAKDJL
These musicians are ALL deep and SPOT ON in their conceptual analogies to this masterpiece. The struggle, the pain, the rescue and freedom messages in this piece (ON)...the answer to N.O...hence, 'NO MORE DREAM.' This reaction is one of the best I've viewed thus far relating to BTS' music messages. Thanks for sharing. 💜
