like if the music video didn't make sense up until this point, then you just-
then it just really doesn't make any sense!
seriously whoever said that I said that BTS is boring clearly has not seen this
me though, literally! you weren't getting cancelled on Twitter you just don't know
how to take criticism. I am the criticism! these 3rd gen kpop youtubers could never!
hi welcome! so there is definitely a lot to unpack
with this final installment in this very long comeback and frankly I don't really
know where to start, actually I'm gonna stop you right there to remind you to
subscribe to this channel and click that bell to be notified
you can also do little things here and there to help sustain this channel like
commenting or sharing this video with friends that you don't have and neither
will I after this.. so before we get into it, you know dissecting the music video
for ''on'' because that shit was interesting, I want to talk a little bit about Black
Swan, touch a little bit on what I said and I usually don't do this but there
are some people who are accusing me of being a BTS hater, and I'll have you know
that I have a BTS j-hope Mattel doll and I will not be slandered on my internet
and I wonder why Army Twitter slightly dislikes me.. but there are a lot of
people who are saying that I said BTS was boring and soft and I did I
did say soft but like hell I said boring oh my god have you seen ''on'' because the
point that I was trying to get across was that you know is somethings essence
can have an inherent softness that maybe was not present and you know *sings boy in luv*
but I definitely liked Black Swan however I do acknowledge that the word
soft can definitely have a negative connotation, but for me personally there
was just a certain level of vulnerability within it that I
personally tend to interpret as something a little bit softer, but soft
can be deep, soft can be emotional, soft can simultaneously be hard-hitting but
anyways I think we're all here to talk about ''on'' because I was not expecting
that, seriously whoever said that I said that BTS is boring clearly has not seen this
was anyone else expecting them to go so old-school? I mean this goes beyond
second gen vibes, this goes beyond first gen vibes! this goes beyond technology! so
the music video starts with what I thought was some type of live-action
role-playing scene, that would then you know slowly turn into a typical kpop
music video -I don't know how, I don't know! it -to me -I don't know, but spoiler
alert it did not! anyways we then see Jin surrounded by cadavers yet this
bitch is only concerned about the bird! me though literally that's just the
start of what is seeming to be a lot to unpack in this music video, I mean this
is definitely the type of music video that you have to watch quite a few times
to kind of get the grasp of I feel and, so in the music video we see Jungkook
running with his hands tied with thorns we then see V with a little girl who is
blindfolded, then we see RM in front of what seems to be a type of Noah's Ark
situation but then near the end it kind of turns into a Lion King situation so
like I'm not sure, there's kind of a boat behind him I'm not good with religious
symbolism but I do think there is probably quite a bit of religious
symbolism whether I'm able to really recognize it or not we also have Jimin
dancing passionately in front of drums and some Maze Runner type of scene right
here and then when everyone gets together and lets the bird free which I
don't know how ethical that is, I mean if that was a parrot I would have
a very strongly worded letter written to big HIT Entertainment, not that I don't
already have five of those, but I digress! but from here things just go beyond like
if the music video didn't make sense up until this point, then you- just -then it
just really doesn't make any sense and this kind of goes hand-in-hand with the
issue of digestibility that I brought up in my previous video, if you are not
willing to look into something this deeply and find the symbolism within it
it might not be your cup of tea and that's perfectly fine, it is perfectly
fine to be confused by this and to be put off by that very confusion and I
just want you to know you that you're not a bad person for disliking BTS
new songs, and that very issue of digestibility is just something that I
think BTS are really not concerned of at this point in time in their careers, I
genuinely think that they're in a space right now where they don't need to care
about that, where they can just do things that are kind of outside of the box
outside of the norm, and they know that it can still succeed but anyways let's
keep talking about the music video! I'm not gonna lie at this scene i half
expected them to kind of levitate up into the air kind of like Kris did in
the 2012 Chinese version music video for mama, I'm not even gonna explain why I
said that if you get it you get it. so quite frankly you know, I do have my own
theories about certain things, but I did want to check out some fan theories as
well. I can't say that I'm super well-versed in BTS theories because I
became a fan in 2017, and at that point just backtracking all that much was a
lot to handle! I'm gonna check out some fan theories
that I've seen online to avoid looking dumb on the internet, again! can you
imagine. so I'm gonna go in my saved folder on Instagram and I'll be damned
if I'm gonna screenshot this, there's- people who show you like their bookmarks
on Twitter or like their saved folder on Instagram are the bravest people ever
I could never! but I do have this video of Bom, *sings it hurts* enough! this is a meme, your homie is
being eaten by a bird which you do? a) help a brother out to b) stand in front
of him two hands in your pocket and spit some mad bars. I mean this is me in the
situation where Jin is surrounded by dead people and he's just like ''oh no the bird''
also I was a little bit disappointed that they didn't give J-hope like a
storyline, well maybe there is symbolism probably in this, I'm assuming
it's religious because it goes way over my head! but like also j-hope can do
nothing wrong cuz he's my bias but don't tell anyone. so we have Ateez memes...
we're gonna... hmm... this person has the music video playing on like a bunch of
computers and says I'll get the next 1 billion views that's dedication
more Ateez memes, pictures of Seonghwa that I need to send kpop shake so for
this one it says if the theory about the girl being Army is true he kept her
blindfold all the pain and destruction was
happening and didn't take it off until he was sure things were okay BYE! The
Joker really said *sings answer* okay so this is kind of one of my favorite ones because it
kind of like kind of went over my head so it says wait jin didn't magically
make that dead bird alive he went back in time watch how he became surprised
and look outside when he saw the cage moving those people behind them were the
people who were dead at the beginning of the MV he went back in time and saved
everyone and then this picture just shows the parallel between the music
video for 'Make It Right' *gets confused* so then this picture just shows the
parallels between the ''on'' music video and then ''make it right'' music video which I
thought was really interesting and then this one says so jin revived the bird
but look at how many empty bird cages Jin has how many times has he done this
that is also very interesting I can just imagine a time loop of him consistently
trying to to make things right...I'm sorry then this person says it's the Lion King
Pride Rock BTS is truly going back to the beginning where it all started
no more dream the circle of life so for me then no more dream at the end is kind
of like it does go back all the way to the beginning showing you know a
sentence that has a negative light around it right no more dream is not the
most positive sentence but then they turn that sentence into an imperative
sentence dream so I just thought that was interesting to turn something
negative into something positive and I think that is definitely a theme that we
can see throughout the music video as well, but then the last thing I want to
talk about for the music video is definitely these references to other
movies so a lot of people are saying it's very similar to bird box a lot of
people are saying, a lot of people are saying is very similar to Maze Runner
and I wonder really if that is intentional or if it just happens to be
a little bit similar the music video is already pretty out there so it'd be
curious to me that they would reference those movies specifically, but I don't
know! so I asked you guys oh my community tab what you thought of this music video
because me! so let's read some of your comments ''they put out something
different different than anything any k-pop group has put out before''
I can agree to that, I'm always trying to find parallels because I'm annoying,
and I really I really couldn't find any, I don't think -first of all the
timeline of this, not the timeline, like the era they're in is a little bit
confusing, because it seems very like you know medieval but then there's cars and
like modern drums and then some of the materials they wear a little sparkly so
it's a little bit confusing timeline wise, but I can't say anyone's ever gone
that far back in the past from what I can remember! anyways ''I thought it was
very different almost like a trailer for a movie
it was cinema- it was cinematically amazing I wasn't expecting this to fit
the song but it kind of felt like a warzone it was something more mature and
different but I liked it'' '' I was just crying because it reminded me a lot
of the Maze Runner and The Hunger Games and I'm emotionally attached to both of
those books series'' interesting ''I think this is a message that they've given up
on Grammys another aiming for Oscars the concept was very unique though it
matches the song really well since the song itself is also unique it's not a
Western sound yeah it's not a typical kpop sound'' so quite frankly I definitely
vibed a lot more with Black Swan than I did with on don't get me wrong I think
like the performance value of on is absolutely amazing but just sound wise I
don't I can't really put my finger on it like you've said but I also don't vibe
with it the most, but at the same time is BTS and I feel like even if the song is
really bad it's still going to become something very iconic, this is such a
relatable comment ''felt goose bump I'm also confused what it is really
referring to but I guess I'll just wait for the smart armys to resolve the
theories'' so yeah that's basically all I had to say don't forget to leave down
the comments below what you thought of this comeback also subscribe like
comment share with them people who hate me on Twitter it's fine I'll see you
guys next time bye
