You are funny.  Freaked over the phone turning to dust but not over the floor dropping on JK as he ran.  They did not use CGI in this video.  Floors really falling, water gushing, and Suga basking in the flames.

RM written masterpiece!! He never misses!

I don’t know if you notice but when they’re dancing they’re doing the See No Evil, Hear No Evil and Speak No Evil gestures 💜

There are a lot of references in this MV you aren’t going to understand. I’m sure you have heard of the BU? The Bangtan Universe. If you haven’t it’s a fictional story line that runs between their music videos and short films and webtoons. It’s a lot to unpack. I’ve been an army since 2016 and I still don’t get the whole thing completely BUT most of this MV follows that story line.

To just summarize without giving away too much is that the fire, water, candy bar are traumas in the members (their fictional characters) storyline. The song itself is also about love within yourself, not necessarily about another person.

Enjoyed the reaction! You guys really have great content! Thank you and can’t wait for more!

In this 8:06 scene, when you upside down the SAVE ME letter, it says I'M FINE. Also, both of them are BTS songs.

This MV is so deep with references to  BTS Universe (BU) storyline such as, the character JHope portraits at BU was abandoned by "his mother" in front of a merry-go-round giving him first, a bar of sneakers. And if you see closer V's scene, the wall is full of cell phones screens and "save me" upside-down is "I'm fine". 💜

The fake love is when you lie about who you are, to yourself and others, then any love you receive or give is fake because you are not being yourself. You can’t even have self love.

Each person in their own rooms with the things they are trying to hide, their pains. In the end they allow the pain to come rushing in and learn to love themselves beyond their pain.

Also many secondary clues and stories in the video that are BU references.

Also almost all practical effects in the mv.

기다렸어요 BTS리액션♥︎ 감사합니당

Btw the floor falling away behind jungkook was real, not cgi
He had a protective harness attached to him while he was running

WOWWWW THE FULL SET UP!!!! congrats guys!!! <3

AND bts rarely use cgi for their videos, for example the floor falling as jk ran was real, the water falling next to jimin was real, all 🔥

Wow, congrats on the new studio setup! It looks Awesome!
Thanks for this reaction! RM said that the Fake Love the song talks about it’s just romantic/friendship it can also stand for the fake love you have for yourself. Also, this MV is connected to BTS’s fictional storyline called the BU(Bangtan Universe).

RM is the main lyricist of this song Fake Love.

BTS usually put their albums out in series that cover a concept or theme. This song is from their Love Yourself series which is three albums long and the albums tell an overall story. The first album is called Her and it is about a love or relationship that seems like it is destined to be. This song is a song in the second album TEAR, which is where we begin to realize that the person in this perfect relationship is starting to realise that they have been changing who they are to make the other person happy mainly because the person changing thinks, they themselves are not good enough for the other person. The last album is Answer and it is where the person realizes that they are in an unhealthy relationship with this person because they don't have a healthy relationship with themselves and that they must learn to love themselves before they can truly love and be loved in a healthy relationship. Most of their album series tell stories if you listen to them in order.

Their songs can be interpreted in numerous ways and they always encourage fans and listeners to draw our own conclusions beyond their original intention behind a piece. For Fake Love, seeing how it’s part of Tear, it talks about how the person in the relationship is beginning to realise how they’ve changed themselves to fit what (they believe) their partner wants, effectively erasing themselves and putting up a façade just to keep the relationship alive. They realise how a love based on lies is fake and how both of them created something that doesn’t actually exists. In the end it ties in with the series in that not loving oneself leads people to be willing to change themselves at their core if it means people will love them, because they believe themselves to be unlovable as they are or believe they have to be a certain way to be loved.

It's about time...to watch some live performances of them.

I would recommend you the bts storyline ....it would help you to understand their mv,songs and the whole stuory and connection..
New storyline is setup alredy ...
pls react to their storyline...

There is a storyline that runs through older BTS videos including this one.  This MV is heavily influenced by the short story ‘ The ones who walk away from Omelas’ which is about a utopian society where everyone is happy and prosperous because there is a child in a room suffering for the sake of everyone else.  And if anyone shows that child a shred of kindness the utopia will crumble. JK is the child.  Jin wants to keep JK in the room to keep everyone else happy so he closes the curtains on him.  But at the beginning V helps JK up in the dance (showing him kindness) and then the explosion in Jin’s room occurs freeing JK. Slowly he makes his way through the rooms (you can see him look in on each member), and as he does the fake realities crumble and the others have to face their original storylines. Fire, water, cell phones, chocolate bars etc all mean something to each of them. (I think Suga smiles at the fire because he knows this means JK is free. They were paired together in the original storyline). At the end Jin tries to hold on but JK frees his hand. The flower petals represent each of the boys and Jin used them to manipulate their storylines.

The set up looks sick! Can’t wait to see y’all grow even more🔥

Amazing new set. I think you guys did a great job of breaking it down without knowing the Bangtan Universe. Without giving anything away you nailed it with “the sands of time” and the “broken toys. “  I really believe you guys have the minds for the BU and that you would really enjoy that journey. 😘💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

One of my favorite songs and music videos from them. Glad to see you guys back as always.
