BOY IN LOVE REACTION!

Boy In Love defied expectations for real! We can't believe this is one of BTS' songs from over 10 years ago AND it has a rock theme? ๐ŸคŸ What genre can BTS not do, honestly?! ๐Ÿ˜Ž We absolutely loved this one (with Gabs clearly having the time of his life rocking out to this ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ)! I think our favourite part collectively was the choreography (guys did you see the car?!) - what was yours when you heard Boy in Love for the first time? โ˜บ๏ธ

Not sure if anyone mentioned it yet but someone has said that this Boy With Luv (2019) is their answer/companion song to Boy in Luv (2014). Not only is it paying respect to their roots but also showing their maturity and a way to make up for what people were accusing them of misogynism. Also you will notice similarities in their choreography. Their ending poses for both songs are the same, formation and gesture wise. Also at the bridge part of the song, pre 3rd chorus, the boys were in the same formation. You see Namjoon standing and facing forward, hiding Jin and then revealing Jin after when it is his time to sing. This is paid homage to in Boy With Luv choreography where Namjoon raps and then reveals Jin, where he kisses and throws the rose. So there you go :)

Big Gabs, I seriously thought you were going to take Anna out with your chair because you kept turning around so fast, lol I'm glad you didn't. Both of your faces at times in this video had me giggling. Love how much you both have fallen into the rabbit-hole ;)

Rozaliyah

Yes, and I think I remember Jin profusely apologising to the girl as soon as they yelled 'cut'๐Ÿ˜†

Rozaliyah

That pose means 7 when you turn it upside down also its the sign that BTS use to introduce themselves

It's very important to note that while nowadays this type of video is not popular back then it was. The "bad boy" and aggressive image was something that was super popular back then in Korea especially. Also, the video is supposed to showcase emotional immaturity of teenage boys being confused about their feelings. While I do think the video in of itself may be problematic today, looking at it in the context of back then it makes sense. The boys wanted to showcase how teenage boys were emotionally immature and them fighting with their masculinity versus the "love" that they feel. War of Hormone which was released not long after also deals with that concept and the lyrics nowadays are very very questionable... (I still love both songs very much hahaha!!!) Also the fact that the girl in the MV doesn't really react is super significant. It makes her even more unattainable and also showcases that the song wasn't supposed to be about romance but actually about the chaotic inner experience that happens to a teenage boy when having a crush on someone. I think it's still important to react to their early discography because it shows how much the boys grew and how their lyricism developed from concepts that relate to teenagers to concepts that relate to adults. The choreography to this though is chef's kiss because it fits the aggressive vibe of the song!!! Gabs reactions were literally me when I first saw the choreo to this song hahaha!

Math is fake ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ agreed, Gabri LOL. Also love how he started the top 5 convo being like "it's solid" and then naming like 20 songs hahaha. Anna trying to control him is hilarious ๐Ÿคฃ ๐Ÿคฃ ๐Ÿคฃ ๐Ÿคฃ she's all, "shut this video down" to stop the list from continuing hahaha Gonna second folks on the MV. I find it problematic, to say the least, and I think we can all acknowledge that the general media landscape (domestic and international) re: violence against women back then was just bad. Not that it is much better now, but I'm glad BTS (and Big Hit) in particular learned from that time, and moved away from that image and approach. Can't wait to see what songs you choose next!! And how the songs fit into your top 5 (or Gabri's top 150 hahah the end panic shout-outs to Black Swan and Blood, Sweat, and Tears ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚).

I think it's important to note that what happened in this video were popular romance tropes in K-media before :D Don't take it seriously. Haha. Also the boys were so nervous shooting this, they were so young :D

Sasha

Boy in luv was me and my friends' anthem when it dropped ๐Ÿ˜ญ we got kicked out of class for singing it all the time during class time. Not my fault that it's addictive

Yuka

Ahh yeah thatโ€™s where we remember it from โ˜บ๏ธ

The Vibe Check

Honestly we keep changing our top 5 songs ๐Ÿ˜‚

The Vibe Check

Ohhh weโ€™re definitely checking that out ๐Ÿ˜

The Vibe Check

Amazing ๐Ÿ˜‚

The Vibe Check

Ohh yeah we didnโ€™t have the lyrics for boy with luv so Iโ€™m wondering if there is a contrast between the two songs ๐Ÿค”

The Vibe Check

Yeah that must be where we saw it โ€ฆ wow that feels like so long ago now ๐Ÿคฃ

The Vibe Check

3 min in and weโ€™re in the right direction with theories ๐Ÿ˜‚ you know that we love dropping theories on what the boys mean with their titles ๐Ÿ˜‚

The Vibe Check

You can tell from our faces how it hit us ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

The Vibe Check

They do the same end pose in boy with luv

Fernanda

The move hand is the g*n for โ€œbulletproofโ€ and 7 if you flip it ๐Ÿง

Fernanda

lol you guys kill me ๐Ÿ˜‚ this is how hard it is to choose a favourite song of theirs; every. Song. Slaps! I have 30 faves on a Spotify list lol. Canโ€™t wait for you to see bapsae and anpanman.

Emma wheeler

This was an awesome reaction I loved every time you guys got hyped over something! I love this song because it's so iconic from their debut era!

Rozaliyah

If you were shocked by the girl in this video, War of Hormone is going to knock your socks off. It actually got them in some hot water with the feminist groups. Personally, I didn't see a problem with any of it. โ™ฅx7

Jennifer James (wtfwebgoddess)

Yes J-Hope used Jimin a the steering wheel.

Andre Henderson

Aww so flattered you posted my comment๐Ÿค—โ˜บ๏ธ

Rozaliyah

i loved it a lot the first time i heard because back then i was heavily into rock music so it was closer to the sound i used to listen to. it made the transition to becoming their fan much easier haha also this mv is quite funny because jin kept apologizing the actress on set hshs its awesome how they responded to boy IN luv with boy WITH love haha you should check the song out again with lyrics (even in your own time) because it shows much more mature side of them <3

al1cst3

I think you guys first saw them make their group (hand) sign in 'Boy with Luv' Dance Practice

Rozaliyah

Loving your theories already on what the song will be about. I love how on point you guys always are. And what you've said so far, 3mins in, is making me want to see you guys react to 'War of Hormone' ๐Ÿ˜†

Rozaliyah

Jimin and Jungkook high notes and ad-libs at the end.
