RM - “INDIGO” | Our Reaction! (PART 1)
Added 2022-12-18 22:00:02 +0000 UTC*WATCH ON VIMEO
*PASSWORD: INDIGO10
THIS ALBUM WAS A FRENETIC JOURNEY.
The wildly unpredictable transitions from song to song kept us alert at all times. We literally had NO IDEA what sound we would hear next.
“INDIGO” felt like RMs attempt to test the limits of his creative genius by adopting (and adapting to) the particular styles of artists who he DEEPLY admires. Each song felt wholly unique, yet all 10 tracks felt strung together by a single thread. Here are some lines that really resonated with us:
🎵”If I could be under your skin”🎵 - CLOSER
Mahalia put into words what we have been trying to for years…the feeling of loving someone so much that you want to crawl underneath their skin. We get chills just thinking about this. Thank you Mahalia.
🎵“F*** my intеrviews in years ago
I'm whole different, not that anymore
F*** that Wiki, f*** all those infos🎵 - CHANGE
RM goes ALL THE WAY THERE y’all. ALL THE WAY THERE.
🎵“I’m f***in lonely!”🎵 - LONLEY
RM somehow manages to create a song about loneliness, while at the same time making the listener feel less alone 🤯
The only song that didn’t blow either of us away upon our first listen was “Hectic.” However, we definitely need to 1) give this song a few more listens, and 2) dig further into the genre of City Pop. We’re curious to hear from those of you who fell in love with “Hectic”!
ARMY, Part 2 of our reaction is on the way!! Let us know in the comments below…WHICH SHADE OF BLUE ARE YOU??

Namjoon is the finest artist of this generation and he always has an eye for artists with immense talent.

2023-07-12 03:00:09 +0000 UTCi actually really love Hectic it took about 2 listens though it helped after having a bad day and wanting to relax

2023-05-27 12:01:45 +0000 UTCHahaha.... are you sure you wanna go down this road 🤭🤭 Also I am multiple shades! Sill Life, Change Part 2, Closer, Lonely, Wild Flower. I do also like Hectic... it reminds me of summers and the skating rink 💜💜

2023-05-07 06:17:14 +0000 UTCHeya boys, just finished going through the whole video and I gotta say I still appreciate the way you guys are so thoughtful about your opinions and views on the guys and their music, even when it’s not necessarily your cup of tea. I find myself reflecting alongside you with all the reactions and discussions you have and I love that. :’) Per Indigo, I think musically Change p.2 got me, especially in the second half where the piano is doing all those funky chromatic changes as Namjoon sings. Lyrically, Wildflower just gets me every time, though I gotta say Forg_tful is also up there for me. Gonna go right to part 2 now! Much love! 💜

2023-01-03 22:48:33 +0000 UTCWildflower punched me in the gut. It's my favorite and it always makes me tear up.

2023-01-02 20:46:58 +0000 UTCWildflower and No. 2 are my faves, but most of the others keep growing on m, especially when I see the lyrics.

2023-01-02 02:24:33 +0000 UTCI had to let the album marinate over a few days & dozens of listens to narrow down my favorites. My top songs are Closer & Wildflower, but I genuinely enjoy every song & love to listen through the whole album. You can tell Namjoon is passionate about what he does.
jordyn perry
2023-01-01 00:53:35 +0000 UTCI’d say listen to the album in order a few times, it allows the songs to resonate more. My favorites are basically half the album - Yun, Still Life, Closer, Lonely, and No.2. While I do have these songs on different mood playlists I’ve grown to enjoy them all. RM is so deep, as an artist and individual. I’m glad you are doing this deep dive, there is so much content. This format is great because I’m seeing some new videos too. 💜 부라해

2022-12-31 05:42:38 +0000 UTCMy color would be Orange, my shade of Blue would be #7BD7D8, and my song is Still Life. I'm not infatuated with the color Orange like I am some Reds and Greens and Blues. I'm in love with it. Every hue, every tint or shade, has value to me and makes my soul warmer. The color #7BD7D8 is called Aqua Zing or Medium Turquoise. A quote from Yoongi that keeps me going is "Moss surely grows on a stone that doesn't roll." and Still Life really feels like the next step to that for me. Being disabled means I'm constanly facing attacks on my character based off my inability to do much compared to others, especially in just one day. I'm riddled with doubts and fears that I'm just lazy or selfish or secretly feeling entitled despite the constant proof that I'm not. That quote and song help so much to remind me that whether I move or not I always have value. I am moving, inside at least, even when others can't see it and I forget my own worth. Progress is not one step.

kyesha ron
2022-12-26 04:58:03 +0000 UTCAll ARMY would love to know about their relationships, but it is not in the industry expectation of an idol to go public. They have only spoken about people before debut, never about present times.
Inamar de Souza
2022-12-22 18:43:17 +0000 UTCIt is completely understandable that you might not be able to cover all of the videos that has been released together with the Indigo release. But please do my a favor and at least react to RM performing live in Seoul @ Rolling Hall. You will not regret it.

2022-12-22 10:05:12 +0000 UTCMy #1 has to be Wildflower & Closer. Closer was the one that immediately did it for me and Lonely too. Then I fell in love with the MV for Wildflower and it just kept getting better and better as I listened! I truly enjoyed and loved the whole album but there are many 1-3 songs that had to grow on me :)
Johana
2022-12-22 01:14:44 +0000 UTCAs a huge Colde and City Pop Lover, one of my favorites is definitely Hectic! (It is soo hard to rank them)
natwone
2022-12-21 17:35:19 +0000 UTCyeah but they have been so busy and when their names are so big, finding someone who can look at you like a partner and not pure devotion is hard. i can´t even imagine how they will find a partner. i think J-hope has one just because he is not that shy and is popular around many people. and RM to maybe through art somehow. but i think they broke up. But i am not sure about Jimin i think he might not since he often talk about feeling lonely and he is shy too. i think they all long for someone. V is dating Jennie i think. the pictures looked to real but after watching her live performance and partying lately on twitter, i am not sure if any BF could manage that. so i am not sure. if they are than i feel sorry for him right now. Suga is the most private so i can´t even guess i knew he had one before debut but after i am not sure.

BTS - Jared & Jordan
2022-12-21 07:55:33 +0000 UTCAlso wanted to add that Hectic is my #1 off this album. I think the entire album is a masterpiece and i listen to it start to finish every day on my morning walk, but Hectic is my favorite by far. It's just such a great melancholy but upbeat song for those times when you feel just a tad lonely and introspective but also peaceful when you're driving or walking alone through open land on a picturesque day. After Hectic, All Day and Change Pt 2 are my next favorites, but I think all 10 songs are great at different times or when you're feeling different emotions. And No.2 is such a healing song to end it all. Every once in a while I get such a strong urge to cry while listening to that one because it makes me think of all the time I've spent in my life just hating myself for decisions or actions on the past, and I want to go back and give myself that song to listen to and say "It's okay. Don't look back, just move forward and do your best."

2022-12-21 07:37:59 +0000 UTCI don't believe that any of the BTS members have ever disclosed any details about their dating lives beyond non-specific stories of experiences they've had. We've never known who their partners have been, and obviously we respect their privacy and discretion in choosing not to name people this far. I think that Big Hit's policies on dating were less strict than most kpop companies and i truly believe that all 7 members have probably been in relationships during their time as BTS if they're not still or currently in a relationship right now. It's hard to imagine men in and nearing their 30s who haven't had serious relationships (and it would be quite sad for them, too). That said, while Closer and Change pt 2 did make me very curious about what kinds of experiences RM may have had, I choose not to look for or listen to anything online that doesn't come straight out of his mouth or from Big Hit in a formal announcement. All 7 members have always denied all the dating rumors that have ever popped up and true or not I choose to respect their privacy on those matters.
Falicia Forward
2022-12-21 07:22:20 +0000 UTCHahaha I don't recommend looking at the gossip news for information about BTS members' love lives. I'm sure members have dated before but no one's really come out with partners. And though I'm curious, I respect their private lives and privacy ^__^. I just figure they'll tell us when they want to tell us hahaha
theGeekOutGirl
2022-12-21 03:37:35 +0000 UTCOmg please don't believe any articels about RM or BTS's love life. The only true statements are coming from Bighit directly like on Weverse because a dating rumour starts if they are just looking at someone or spoke with them. Because because according to the articles BTS was already dating half of the Kpop industry and Jungkook even had an dating rumour with his mother

2022-12-21 01:47:06 +0000 UTCI didn't like hectic and change pt2 at first but they've really grown on me and I often have lyrics from them stuck in my head. Wild flower and no2 are my favourites and still bring me to tears even after many listens. No.2 really feels like its aimed directly at me, so comforting
Kayleigh Kilty
2022-12-20 23:30:37 +0000 UTClast night i actually dreamt of the hectic lyric over and over. it´s becoming more of a favorite of mine. but lonely is also a song i listen to all the time. wildflower is my favorite it´s so beautiful but you have to be in the right headspace to hear that i feel like. it´s not something you have on repeat

2022-12-20 22:07:11 +0000 UTCi truly love the whole album and its many shades and have it on repeat since the very day it came out but the one song that hit me the hardest and brought me to tears was Wildflower. There is just sth about the song and the hauntingly beautiful video and vocals. And every other song of the album is my no.2 🤣 RM outdid himself this time and i am forever grateful about that, he created a masterpiece!!
D.
2022-12-20 21:27:32 +0000 UTCMy favourite on this track is Hectic.. and I get your view on that.. for me the past few months have been sort of a challenge for me and it just resonate with my life now. I listen to the song and I know I am the one who has had an hectic and eventful day (s). A way to remind myself that I need to take a breather before I breakdown so I just jam to song every single day as a reminder 😅

Sara JIN
2022-12-20 17:15:20 +0000 UTCThe way I experienced that album is quite unique I think upon 1st listen Still Life, Closer and Wild Flower really stuck out to me, but everyday I gain a new appreciation for some tracks. Quite unexpected but No2 really grew the most, and the more I listened to Change pt2 and Yun the more it just grows! It's like you have the first taste but after several times the after taste really kicks in! Definitely a very unique album and the physical version is soooo well thought-out it's like an art book!
Maëva
2022-12-20 13:56:33 +0000 UTCI really appreciate the fact that you took a little bit of time to kinda look into the artists featured on the album! Even though it was only a few seconds for each artist, it let you both see why RM wanted to work with them. I would love to see you do this in the future as well! All the boys have been open about the artists that have inspired them, so it would be really informative to look into the songs/artists that they mention.
Rinnie
2022-12-20 08:07:28 +0000 UTCMy initial favorite track was still life but after listening to the album these few weeks it’s been wildflower, all day, and yun on repeat Here’s a few thoughts I had during your reactions sorry for it being so long! 1. Tablo is awesome!! I think you guys would really enjoy his music with Epik High. I think he was perfect for this track since he dives deep into social criticism in a lot of his music. He’s known for being a role model for both RM and Suga. Fun fact Suga has produced a song for Epik high called “eternal sunshine” and Tablo has produced a song for a collaboration between Lee Sora ft. Suga (going out on a limb but I think “End of the world by Epik High ft. Gsoul is like a mesh between All day and Closer. I would definitely recommend it hehe) 2. Im an art student and even I didn’t put two and two together. Still life is a genre of painting/photography that shows inanimate objects and knowing how Namjoon loves art, I should’ve seen this coming 3. Paul blanco lmao his verse is so addicting!! 4. Wildflower!!! The tears are flowing with this one. The line “Society’s all for the loudest voice and here I am, still speaking silence” 🤯
Fernanda
2022-12-20 07:33:38 +0000 UTCBTS, to my knowledge, really steer away from ever talking about their personal relationships, even their familial and platonic ones, not to mention romantic. I think given that so much of their life is public, some things they really prefer to keep to themselves, for the sake of privacy and sanity. So I wouldn't seriously buy into any of the "he-said, she-said" gossip, unless it's something the members have talked about themselves.
Seneca
2022-12-20 07:28:09 +0000 UTCThis album has been amazing. It really shows how much his grown as an artist and person. My favorite is Closer (the live performance of paul Blanco blew me away) All day and Wildflower.
Winny Red
2022-12-20 07:07:58 +0000 UTCThis is a very Human album. The production was never over done and seemed like a narration of anyone's life that can relate to the topics spoken in the lyrics. There is not a song I gravitate to yet, but have respect for the process of the making of this album and its purpose.
Jess Horton
2022-12-20 07:00:22 +0000 UTCMy shade is definitely Closer. That song is 🔥 It hit me unexpectedly and has just stuck with me since I first played Indigo.

2022-12-20 01:52:18 +0000 UTCFunny you say hectic hits different driving at night... to me it feels like riding through a big city alone in a taxi, after your friends dragged you out for a night on the town to try and get you out of your rut. I visualize staring out the window at the lights and faces whizzing by, feeling like you may finally be on the other side of the dark times (Change 2 / Lonely), just zoning out and thinking about life and how adulting is "nothing romantic" but you have to get out there and live (still love and hate this city...) I am right there with you on No.2, the sentiment is so beautiful and the outro makes me cry every time -- partially out of sadness and regret as you describe, but there's also a truly hopeful and optimistic undertone that makes you think there's a light at the end of the tunnel :)
Eitan
2022-12-20 00:41:05 +0000 UTCLove how you brought up that the beat of lonely made us feel less lonely! So true that we can totally resonate to this humane feeling but he did it in such a comforting, I see and feel you type of way. I love hectic personally because I listen to it and it’s Just hectic hahahaa and somehow it calms me down. For me I see rm going through the hectic motions of being out in awards shows, doing a million interviews, practicing w the members, putting on shows all of it soo hectic - nothing romantic about it all. When you have a moment to sit and share something simple w someone - that’s romantic but he’s Just going through the motions in this chaotic life- I see this following him staying at a hotel room feeling lonely as hell* (lonely). And wishing someone could love him and hold him down through all this chaos that followed but he navigates thru it anyway!
Dina
2022-12-20 00:36:19 +0000 UTCI really love all the songs so I listen to this album start to finish every day, but my favorites are Wild Flower, Still Life, Closer and No2. All the artists that featured on these songs with RM added such a beautiful diversity to the music and make it so enjoyable to listen to. I hope you watch RM and some of the featured artists perform these songs at the Rolling Hall concert in Seoul. It was really good.
Purplehaze⁷
2022-12-19 23:26:11 +0000 UTCThe same way you guys felt about "Closer" that's how I felt. It has become my winter jam. I have to listen to it at least 3 times a day. I have connected to this song un such a way I can't even explain it. I love each and every song in the album, if I would be asked to arranged it from my fav in order." Close" #1 wildflower #2 and so on. I did actually like hectic, I agree I feel it's like a female song. Believe it or not it's a song to drink to I feel.

2022-12-19 22:53:18 +0000 UTCI really enjoy your reaction video, all of them. it always refreshing to watch intelligent people talk. From how you grasp a lot of things from just 1 listening to the deepest meaning of his lyrics with curiosity, an open mind, and a beautiful and rich vocabulary. I just Waouh hope you listen to, enjoy our princess Indigo, and put the shade you like in your daily playlist

2022-12-19 22:33:38 +0000 UTClol not you searching about his love life. From what i know he said in an interview that he wanted to be a dad but years later said he don't think that he want a kid anymore. He said recently in the show "Dictionary of useless humans knowledge" where he is one of the MC, that he is single. There is that YT channel who claims to know some private strory of idols like marriage, dating, etc. But when they spread the rumor that RM was dating that girl, he himself and his agency denied it. He might have date or no, but we don't know. I think, if you look more between ARMY, you'll find out that a lot of us claim to be his partner (joke ) cause, i mean, he has it all. if he can write about a painter he liked, imagine what he can write about his beloved partner that he cherish dearly

Cheryl ⁷ Lambert
2022-12-19 21:20:56 +0000 UTCMy favourites r Closer, wildflower n All day. Ahhhh.....I love them!!!!!! Thanks 4 yo reactions. Abt the dating, I think most armys will be fine n happy if e members r dating since majority r mature coz most of us r closed 2 members' age or even older. Korean pop idol society is nw changing too.
Miriam
2022-12-19 21:11:00 +0000 UTCI'm sure everyone has already said what I wanted to say, but I just wanted to point out that the flowers that they used in MV for Wildflower were Lupines. Lupines symbolize perseverance, inner strength, nature and the cycle of life. I think they and RM chose the perfect flower to symbolise what this entire album entailed: change. RM said that this was an album dedicated to the last years of his 20s, and throughout those years, it's no surprise that he has gone through numerous changes career-wise, mentally, and emotionally -- you guys get the picture. He had endured so much that many people have yet, have or would never experience, and yet he bloomed so beautifully. He faced it all with such strength that being able to see how he lay on that field of Lupines truly embodied the symbolism of the flower and of RM himself. Visually and knowledgeably, that was the cherry on top for me, personally.
jyn.
2022-12-19 20:57:01 +0000 UTCI love this whole album - but No.2 is the one that hits the most. This whole year has been a battle to not look back on past decisions - that I know have made me into who I am but feel like I wasted years of my life on it. This song feels like it was made just for me and makes me tear up every time. But I do love the whole album - hectic is the only one that’s a little harder for me but it’s growing on me. I was listening to indigo on my way home the other day and I felt like hectic hit different when I was driving at night 🤷🏻♀️ thanks for your reaction!
Erin
2022-12-19 20:40:59 +0000 UTCOooh I look forward to your deep dive. Lonely is my fave track then All Day tied with Closer then Wild Flower. Ps. Namjoon hasn't confirmed any girlfriends or boyfriends, they always say they don't have time to date.
Karla24.wintaebear
2022-12-19 20:31:30 +0000 UTCThe song is All day where they mention dynamite & DNA it's one of my best
Miriam
2022-12-19 20:26:42 +0000 UTCMy head cannon version of Indigo as a diary of your 20's... I don't think it's literally one year per song, but it's fun to think about it as a parable of emotional growth across the decade when you effectively go from the end of childhood to the beginning of adulthood.... Age 20 (Yun) - becoming "human", vibing the old school hip hop formative roots Age 21 (Still Life) - party time! have fun, be carefree and keep moving! Age 22 (All Day) - real social awareness takes hold, stay hype but get serious about the injustice in the world, accepting you're not a child anymore Age 23 (Forg_tful) - party mode over, slow down, walk in the park and reflect a bit Age 24 (Closer) - oops! blindsided by burning hot love (oh god no!) that wrecks your plans, upends your world and ends in rejection and heartbreak Age 25 (Change2) - emotional turmoil, cynicism, anger, nihilism, fuck it all Age 26 (Lonely) - making it to the other side, embrace the sadness, no more wallowing Age 27 (Hectic) - get back out in the city, nothing "romantic" but gotta live life Age 28 (Wildflower) - the final "storm" of psychic crisis, accepting the lies you tell yourself that are making you feel empty and unwhole Age 29 (No 2) - the final year of "number 2" (your 20's), you are at peace again and ready to move forward into your 30's. I hear this song as an internal dialogue between inner mother/child, Park Ji Yoon's voice is so warm (like a mother's embrace) and in the beginning of the song it's her talking to RM. But by the end RM is ready to move ahead on his own and it's now HIS VOICE alone, telling himself "no looking back / you will protect yourself now".

2022-12-19 19:03:54 +0000 UTCI cried my eyes out when I listened to Wild flower for the first time, that one is def my shade of blue, and it also has the most beautiful MV I have ever seen
Ally Quintero
2022-12-19 18:26:06 +0000 UTCI am deep blue like the sky at night! Well first off, YES another deep dive by Jared n Jordan 😍 you GUYS! Loved this. Closer is my fav track still, along with Lonely Change pt2 and Yun. I agree with you about the theme of Closer; I’ve told people I’d like to wear them like a skin I love them so much 🤣 I also love having met new great musicians through this album. 💜 I think the lyrics of closer refer to finding someone online so attractive (eg through mobile phones) then realising if it can’t translate into real life you’re better off staying where you are… And nop I’m not a fan of hectic either but that’s ok, the rest are awesome and for me it’s the only one I wouldn’t listen to on it’s own 💜 You’ll not find dating info about any of the members online; in Korea in general and specifically in the idol world it’s part of the mystique of the star that they’re single and available, some idol contracts even say they can’t date! Big Hit haven’t done that with BTS but it’s something they don’t disclose. There were rumours that RM was dating a daughter of some CEO of an important Korean company but who knows. Hopefully when they’re done with military service they’ll be more comfy with showing more of themselves if they want to. It’s weird for us westerners to comprehend… but gotta love learning about new cultures and norms! 💜

Biljana Monteleone
2022-12-19 17:57:03 +0000 UTCI thought it would be difficult but 3 songs spoke to me immediately. #1 Wildflowers- Just because. No words to really describe it for me. It simply is a perfectly sounding song with beautiful lyrics. #2 Hectic- I think it is so fun that this song didn't speak to either of you. It immediatly resonated with me. I was dancing to it right away in my seat! It has huge 80's- early 90's club vibes. I danced all night to music with a similiar feel in large cities in Canada, US and Bermuda. It wasn't until after I heard it that I looked up what City Pop was and while I was unaware of it's origins in Japan, it is a true reflection of some of the music in that era.... #3 No.2 - I think this is a beautiful piece. I love their voices together. I'm a big fan of Park Ji Yoon, especially Coming of Age Ceremony (JIMIN and JK modified her choreo-which I have learned to do! https://youtu.be/D4oIpsRemPA ) I love how she loves RM and how RM and BTS are huge fans of hers.

2022-12-19 17:05:43 +0000 UTCI think the more you listen to it and watch the magazine interview this album will grow on you. It immediately got me with track 1 Yun. It is a neo-soul track and I grew up with Erica Badu. He is taking us on an emotional ride. The entire album is a vibe. He is a whole man now and had experienced things we can dream of. You have to understand He has matured and knows who he is. He is past the haters and has no need to address them anymore. So the hard hitting rap we have gotten used to won't be a regular thing anymore. Accept his change. I love it. Completely. You should check out his masterpiece "Trivia: Love". Keep streaming Indigo. We already got him on the Billboard chart. 💜💜💜💜

2022-12-19 16:34:44 +0000 UTCI have 2 Nr.1 songs on Indigo which are Lonely and Still Life and then 2 at N.2 are All Day and Hectic after that Wild Flower but I appreciate and love them all because RM pored his soul for us in this album and I can feel his emotions so well with each track ! He is incredible songwriter and producer ! and the features on each song were so perfect and so harmonic ! This album is soooo Namjoonie ! I LOOOOVE IT! and I also reacted to it in my INDIGO first listen video on my own YT channel ^.^ (<---ARMY Youtuber from 2017)

2022-12-19 16:27:52 +0000 UTCI also love the whole album and appreciate the artistic stretch throughout. Wild Flower though is the one that hits hardest. I feel that Youjeen’s haunting wail perfectly captures Namjoon’s lyrics. Perfection!💜

2022-12-19 15:30:49 +0000 UTCI love the whole Album! Go to songs are Closer, Still Life, All Day, Wild Flower, Hectic, Lonely, and Change pt. 2 . I vibe with Yun, Forg_tful, No. 2. There's no song that I frown upon however I thought that Yun would be one of my go to songs because I love Eryka Badu's music and voice. I wish she had a verse in the song. Nice Reaction!

2022-12-19 14:23:47 +0000 UTCTbh Hectic for me is up there on favorites alongside Wild Flower and Closer because it sounded like a great driving song and I was right! Every song fits a different situation and time. Its a near perfect album and its gotten critical acclaim for a reason. Btw the boys never touch on the subjects of dating for obvious privacy reasons, so ARMY's running joke for years have been that they're just all married to each other since they spent most of their lives together anyways lmao.

2022-12-19 13:23:17 +0000 UTCEven though you haven‘t seen RM‘s detailed interviews after the release of Indigo you NAILED it on every song. I feel like you understand so good what his intentions were. I know he would love you guys! Wild Flower is my 1/10. It‘s just so relatable to me and it just hits different. But I also love the other tracks, especially Change pt. 2 and Closer. Maybe a little help on the Indigo content: I think Indigo live in Seoul, Live in New York and Tiny Desk are all awesome, but you can choose one of those three to react to. And watch the other two in your private time if you want. Seoul contains a real live performance with Armys and some of the featured artists. It has the most Indigo tracks and two little treats in the end. Tiny Desk is a performance of three tracks with a band and New York is a performance of four tracks with a special location. So my advice would be the Seoul Concert (mini spoiler: this is the only one that has Closer in it). As the second content I would recommend the Zach interview. It‘s completely in english and has all Information that you need for Indigo. And Zach is just awesome. But as always: Watch what YOU wanna go to. And please don‘t feel pressured. ☺️💜

2022-12-19 09:52:45 +0000 UTCOn first listen, Hectic was not at the top of faves. When I woke up the next morning, I found myself humming this song. I hadn’t even gotten out of bed yet.LOL Now it’s my number 1 along with Lonely. The entire album is a masterpiece.

2022-12-19 08:43:14 +0000 UTCIf mono. is the playlist to listen to when you just want to feel - under the covers with the rain and all, Indigo is the album for literally anything. The album basically says it: "Use it while taking a walk, a shower, drive, coffee break, work, dance, read a book, when flowers bloom or fall." It's a no-skip album for me because whether I'm digging deep into the lyrics or mindlessly vibing to it, there's just something captivating about each one. I get not being into some songs at the start. I was like that, too, but the more I listened and understood what the songs meant, the more I fell in love. I think Wildflower will always be my favorite. The video made me cry, especially since I feel it's his most intimate and vulnerable song. I kept thinking about something I read before: what if you achieve all you've ever wanted and then realize it wasn't all that you imagined it to be? I realte to that, and I feel to some extent, RM relays that emotion through this song. Despite all the struggles that he and BTS have been so open about, the last scenes tell me so much - from being on the stage to lying on a bed of purple flowers - his art, the fans... they'll always give him comfort. I'm currently obsessed with Closer. It's such a viiiiibe and I just knew that Jordan would love it! Paired with Lonely, they're such raw songs. And like what you guys mentioned, these are such naturally human emotions. I'm also attached to Yun (which I wasn't at the start). It's so thought-provoking, and RM just has that ability to ask questions that we didn't think needed asking. So yes, those are my top 4, but I find myself just vibing and enjoying each one depending on my shade of the day or the moment. Excited for you guys to deep-dive! But I also hope you let the album settle afterwards and absorb the songs slowly. It's truly a masterpiece once you get more into it and understand what he intended for it <3

2022-12-19 08:13:39 +0000 UTCI enjoyed this upload so much! I love hearing your thoughts after each song, but what got me was the curiosity about RM's partner(s) because I felt the same! lol I think it's natural to wonder about the person/people who inspire him to write such beautiful expressions and thoughts about love/connection. He's never named anyone as far as I know, though! Looking forward to pt. 2 :)
Daisy
2022-12-19 08:02:40 +0000 UTCWildflower is my first, then No 2, but honestly I have had them all stuck in my head many times. I listened to the whole album before watching any of the content or videos and I could feel the emotion in Wildflower so much. Great album, as expected.

2022-12-19 07:26:18 +0000 UTCSongs on repeat #1 "closer" because it's just f*cking SEXY 💙 #2 "Lonely" because I volunteer as tribute to make sure RM is never Lonely Again 💙 # 3 " wildflower" because it's RM expressing his feelings honestly to his beloved Army 💜 #4 "still life" because it's a Bop 💙 Honestly I Love the whole album RM is a musical genius and I can't wait for you guys to dig deeper into the lyrics and interviews he so graciously gifted us. Also the concert at Rolling Hall is a whole vibe 😎 Can't wait for part 2 of your reaction guys. Borahae 💜

2022-12-19 07:16:53 +0000 UTC"With the BTS members' contracts ending in 2024 and members enlisting in 2022 and 2023, the company is looking for new sources of income to secure its future on the market. According to Korean sources, BTS renewed their contracts in 2018 which will last until 2024."

2022-12-19 07:14:55 +0000 UTCIMO this is one of those rare perfect albums; 10 genres, 10 perfect songs, constructed into a perfect whole. As a whole it tells a story, a journey through life. You don’t have to like every song, although I do, but every single one is perfectly constructed and does precisely what RM wanted it to do. That said, Change2 and Lonely are my favorites. In a way I almost feel like they are one song, I can’t really imagine listening to one and not the other. They are transcendent works of pure genius IMO, they touch me so deep in my core. And No2 couldn’t possibly be a more beautiful ending, I am not usually a cryer but oohhhhh man the ending hits me EVERY DAMN TIME.. NO LOOKING BACK NOOOOO …. So pure and heartfelt, what an absolute GOAT level emotional storyteller this beautiful man is. RM galaxy brain: the Yun painting on the album cover has TEN STRIPES !!!

2022-12-19 07:11:54 +0000 UTCI agree with you about Closer. Like all things RM it is multi-layered, so there are certainly romantic elements (and I would argue it’s more lustful than romantic) but it’s not all sunshine and roses. For example the fact that Paul Blanco’s verse starts with him going off about what he’s gonna do when they get in that bedroom then BAM please leave a voicemail. Next line, as the answering machine beeps wistfully along, “….. if love ain’t for us……..”
Eitan
2022-12-19 07:08:45 +0000 UTCEvery single song on this album is a fucking MASTERPIECE. I’m still in awe of Namjoons ability to leave me speechless with every song he makes. I am truly obsessed with every song in different ways and they all make me feel differently. Absolute favorite album of all time.
Maria
2022-12-19 06:28:43 +0000 UTCIt’s so interesting to hear you two curious about his love life as Joon just recently spoke about marriage on a new episode of the show he’s on! He mentioned how he used to think it was a natural process to get married, that it seemed to just come naturally to everyone, but he had the sudden realization years ago that maybe he actually is not getting married. He mentioned it’s a scary thing, to promise and swear eternity with one person and he wonders if it can even happen to him with choosing an unusual life. It seems as if he is coming to terms with the fact that his lifestyle may not allow him to marry after all, so it may be that he is single. BTS members usually never touch the subject of dating or anything like that, only some mention past girlfriends from school like Joon and Yoongi.

2022-12-19 06:21:52 +0000 UTCWildflower, still life and closer are my walk songs. No 2 … is that one song that reduced my anxiety. I love this album.
Andi Park
2022-12-19 05:55:53 +0000 UTCMan, I loved all of the songs on this album so much, but I think the one that surprised me and really drew my attention was "Hectic". It was ironic you both were a bit iffy on that song and mentioned others perhaps favoring it, because that was definitely me. The song really stood out to me because it captured what I can only describe as my anxiety and a sense of relief that yesterday has passed and no matter if today is good or bad I can get through it. That may not make a lot of sense but I guess it resonated with my emotions and how just anxious or chaotic I feel sometimes and it turned it into something Mellow and relatable 🤷♀️ idk lol I tried to explain, but like I said I was surprised I liked it. I really enjoy Still Life, All day, Change, Lonely, Wildflower, and No.2, but Hectic probably and somewhat irrationally, is certainly the song that just resonated with me the most.

2022-12-19 05:12:18 +0000 UTCSo, I like the album in its entirety... Each song hits me in its own way but yet still altogether... My favorite is Wildflower with Still Life very close behind... Also, I just wanted to hit on something that you mentioned.... I don't remember the song it was in ( I am kinda Forg_tful)🤪🤪 but the part that Jordan had said it reminded him of Kendrick Lamar in the song DNA... If you reread it it talks about dynamite and DNA... Well I believe RM is referencing BTS songs (Dynamite and DNA) along with referencing Kendrick as well, not sure if you were aware that BTS had a song called DNA and I very much recommend y'all react to it when you get a chance or when it falls on y'alls timeline of this rabbit hole... Well done on another reaction video and look forward to the continuation of this album deep dive... Enjoy y'all so much... Y'all are such Beautiful Souls and don't let anyone tell you or ever make you feel like you are not. 💜💜Sending much Love💜💜Borahea

2022-12-19 04:55:58 +0000 UTCYesss! I’ve been thinking about you guys’ reaction to Indigo since it came out. I knew Still Life would be a favorite! Especially when that bass hits at that part you both liked. There’s so much I can say about Indigo and each song! I just love every song. My top tracks at the moment are Hectic, Still Life, Yun, and Wildflower. I have yet to watch the Wildflower mv without tearing up or actually crying. The song itself will make you cry. He’s so candid, so raw and vulnerable. I think it’s the most vulnerable he’s ever been and we all know Joon has no problem being open but I’m sure those feelings were hard to put out there, especially with the confusion they brought him. I’ve been saying this to everyone since Indigo came out but I feel so much closer to Joon after this album. He literally opened his diary and projected it to the whole world without a possibility of taking it down once it was up. I guess I feel like he’s welcomed us into his head and his heart. Just so beyond proud of him. I feel even more protective of him and I just want him to know that he’s a timeless artist who contributes to the lives of millions in the most beautiful way possible. Anyways thank you both for this reaction. Much love and support from me always💜

2022-12-19 04:50:20 +0000 UTCI think Hectic is the song I seek out the most actually. It’s crazy because it didn’t grab me on my first listen then it just put in a chokehold all of a sudden. It’s the song that puts the biggest smile on my face along with Still Life. I had the worst day last week, actually just a horrible week in general. On Thursday I took a much needed nap after everything happened to just escape from what was going on and then I got up and played Still Life and Hectic during my shower. When I think of it, I should’ve played them the other way around lol. Because my day was the biggest hectic of all but I will still living and was still going to have to keep living. Anyways, I played those songs and Hectic put the biggest, cheek aching, happiest smile on my face. It was a freeing moment for me. Like ‘today was horrible but at least I can still smile’. A relief!! That’s what it was. It made me tear up because through that smile I felt like Hectic lifted a huge weight off my shoulders. I can’t explain it but I guess it’s like a comment I made on your Save Me/I’m fine video a little while back. Save Me is the yearning and the dark moments and u just want to be saved. A cry for help. And I’m fine is the realization that you’ve made me it out of that storm. Like Mono!! I’m just rambling and idk if I’m making sense but yeah I’m Fine is like that smile and sigh of relief after walking through a hurricane. Hectic feels like that to me. It puts me in the best mood even after having the worst day ever. The connection I have with the song is so unexpected because, again, it didn’t grab me at first but then it just hit me in the best way possible after like my third listen. This is why I love Namjoon so much, and BTS, but rn I’m talking about Joon specifically. I just always know no matter what, I can find solace and comfort in anything he does. Whether I’m happy and his music accompanies me in my happiness, I’m sad and need a song to pick me up, or even if I’m sad and want music to sit with me in my sadness, Joon is always there. It happens with Mono, just videos of him in general, his wisdom, even down to his own personal playlist of music he listens to himself (I was listening to his Spotify playlist, specifically the songs on it Changes by Mary J. Blige and ‘Sleepless Nights’ by Terrance Martin when I realized he was my bias), and now Indigo is doing the same. It’s just yet another reason for me to love him more for what he does through his music. I can’t even begin to described how grateful I am to him. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to describe it, there’s no words.

2022-12-19 04:32:14 +0000 UTCOh God. Finally! Thank you Jared and Jordan for this reaction. My top 3 songs are Wildflower, Closer and Change Pt. 2. Wildflower is the song where RM pours his true raw emotions, sentiments and worries. I get so emotional listening to this song all the time. Youjeen's voice reminds me of Hailey of Paramore. It is so powerful and beautiful. Closer makes me think, hmmm RM, who is this person you are talking about. Same with change Pt.2. Hahahaha! Paul Blanco's voice is so good specially when they performed it live together in Seoul, Oh my God. I can't stop listening to it. Change Pt. 2, I like the straightforward lyrics and the change in style. Also, the lyrics, it seems like someone hurt him so much which makes Army so curious. Who is it RM? hahahahaha! Nevertheless, overall, Indigo is a masterpiece. Seeing RM talking about this album, him being so excited and free, his smile, it radiates so much happiness. I'm so happy for him.

2022-12-19 04:03:23 +0000 UTCi’ve listened to indigo 185 times just on apple music alone. i’m kinda obsessed with it. i think change pt. 2 stood out to me the most. not necessarily my favorite, but it definitely sticks with me message wise the most. i still have yet to pick a favorite song off the album. every time I listen to it, i seem to fall in love with a new one. this is gonna sound weird, but i feel like i’m the only person who listened to closer and didn’t see it as a romantic song. maybe it’s because i’ve never loved someone like that, but all i could think was that it seemed very unhealthy and obsessive. when it’s mutual, it’s a beautiful thing, but it’s so hard to come by. especially when it’s that deep of a love. it can end very badly if the other person doesn’t feel the same way. going in to change part two solidified that for me. i’m assuming whoever this was about changed, and it didn’t work out. though, I’m also pretty sure joon said closer wasn’t even about love so who really knows. also, one last thing, I would stay away from gossip blogs as much as you can. they are basically all crap and really just be reaching for anything they can find. i remember one time they tried to say a member was dating someone because they wore similar shirts. anytime the boys have been asked about dating, they’ve basically always said they don’t have boyfriends or girlfriends because they simply do not have the time for them and it’s not compatible. as far as I can remember, they’ve never talked about relationships unless it was pre-debut.

2022-12-19 03:56:16 +0000 UTCi am happy you got to hear the album, its honestly been so much content from namjoon. absolutely maybe do some of the interviews for one of your reactions. i would even suggest the psick show for some genuine laughing and overall just namjoon being laid back. i would equate it to jin's interview with younji type of interview.
cysounds
2022-12-19 03:27:20 +0000 UTCHey Jared and Jordan. Thank you for an amazing review. I thought Jordan's favourite would be Yun so I got that wrong but I definitely knew Closer would be Jared's. I'm really glad that you both liked the majority of the album. I think I like all of the songs in varying degrees. Wildflower and Closer are a tie at 1st place for me with Still Life and Lonely joint 2nd. Yes, I know, I'm cheating but who cares.
Saphy
2022-12-19 02:58:23 +0000 UTCI think Wildflower is going to always hold a special place in my heart. It made me tear up the first few times listening to it because I could feel the struggle Joon is having with being devoured by his dreams and trying to find himself in the midst of all the noise going on in his life. During the last Festa they had, when RM started crying when he talked about them taking a break from group activities to just focus on themselves for a while, you can see how hard it is for him to admit that and also the burden he carries as both a member of BTS but also as someone who dearly loves his fans. It's a beautiful song that very much feels like a rebirthing, a making of something new, of pushing through the discomfort and choosing hope. I hum it to my youngest son when I'm rocking him to sleep at night. It plays in my head on repeat.

2022-12-19 02:54:15 +0000 UTCI started laughing so hard when you said you wanted ARMY to peel their skin bc you love us 😂😂😂 I can def relate to that feeling of wanting to be under my husband’s skin, married almost 9 years and he travels so each time he’s home I just need him closer. I love this song but after many listens Wildflower still pierces through me both lyrically and vocally. 🌼 I wanted to share I also enjoy Hectic a lot, top 3 for me. My preferences are indie pop and this song was a sort of experimental sound that I enjoy. I can also relate to the city feel that it invokes. Change pt2 is so relatable when you get older and you see the season of change within friends, that hit hard for me.
Daniela
2022-12-19 02:45:48 +0000 UTCMy first listen was Wild Flower but still YUN and Closer hit me really hard so they’re probs my top 3 but there’s not much of a gap between top 3 and the other 7 anyways becaus they all shine so well so very differently in the same spectrum. Thanks so much really enjoyed this one :))) looking forward to part 2

2022-12-19 02:42:46 +0000 UTCART GUIDE OF INDIGO. Explanation through pieces of ART by RM: https://youtu.be/17KAGYM2qZg. This is a must and was not seen by many. THIS HELPS EVEN MORE TO UNDERSTAND THE FLOW OF IDEAS
Daphne Schaffer
2022-12-19 02:40:23 +0000 UTCIf you didn't see it here it is https://youtu.be/17KAGYM2qZg. Art and explanations from RM for each song that covers pretty much all of the album. I also want to mention that each song is a different genre of music, as well as the artists he collaborated with, who are almost all older than RM (40s). My understanding in life and in being a good leader is if you surround yourself with quality people you too will have a greater vision, understanding of your craft, and life itself, especially with like-minded people of experience. RM is an old soul and these artists have touched him with inspiration and encouraged him even after listening to his heart in song and lyrics. HECTIC - RM said himself that this song is kinda like Seoul 2. You love what you do but sometimes you hate the process of the people you have to deal with. Days seem to go by without any excitement and you hear the same stuff on the news or stories repeated from your friends "nothing romantic", it's boring. We all live in the middle of life, there are highs and lows that we glean happy memories from and those painful memories we grow from, and then there is the middle - everyday dirge and drudge of existence that is toxic if you focus too long on it. No one can survive emotionally on highs and lows full time so I would- say 95% of our life is in the hectic middle. We try to make the best of it all to be happy. (side note: RM doesn't have a driver's license and probably doesn't want one. he rides his bike whenever necessary)

2022-12-19 02:38:31 +0000 UTCI like dancing to Hectic in the kitchen while I'm cooking dinner. It's the perfect vibe to me for cooking and dancing at the same. I listened to the whole album in the car today and it passed my car with flying colors. Looking forward to part 2.

2022-12-19 02:37:57 +0000 UTCI started to panic when you guys looked up namjoon's love life and his marriage rumours (it's me, I'm his wife jk) but I knew I could trust you guys. Armys always do our best to respect their privacy. I don't even interact with their friends/family that don't have public figure platforms. Like I follow J-hope's sister because she is a fashion influencer and she has her own brands she designed but I would never follow Jin's older brother because he only posts about their family life and I feel wrong using him to get a glimpse of Jin. The members have had many scandals over the years, (Jin- King-sized condom in the back of a vlive, Tae and other idols dating etc) even the members' sexualities are questioned but i don't take any of as true until it comes from the members themselves. They trust us and show us what they're comfortable with, if we never find out, they also have that right. They have all expressed either wanting families or making sexual references and they are grown men and should be allowed to do that, whether it's just talking or they want those things. I love Indigo and it's such a perfect album for the winter time. It's so comforting and heartbreaking at the same time but it's just solidified my love for Namjoon as a man and an artist. About Change pt.2, IF it is a breakup song, imagine fumbling Kim Namjoon, an L you could never recover from.🤣
dulseokbangtan
2022-12-19 02:28:41 +0000 UTCI listened to this album from beginning to end at least five or 6 times. Each song resonates with me in a different way. Indigo has so many shades in it and it addresses so many aspects in my life. Chang Pt 2 hit me harder than I thought. Closer and No2 got next to me. No looking back now no turning back now! You can't create or love unless you are human. It's amazing how loving yourself first allows you to be human but spiritual at the same time. Still Life is wild because your body can be in suspension and your spirit can be traveling throughout the universe. Thanks Nam-joon for taking me on another journey through the BU. My passport has been stamped by J-Hope, Jin, Jung-kook, and now you. I love you guys...that includes the twins too.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

2022-12-19 02:25:22 +0000 UTCAlso…. About RM’s reference to old interviews. And about things (views on life/ though processes) that he thought would always stay the same but have now changed. BTS, specifically RM, has talked about this in the past. We know that they started of with the mission of standing up for the youth and challenging systems. During those times, their interviews reflect that. As they grow however, so does their understanding and their perspective. Unfortunately, there have been instances where interviewers or journalists have quoted these older interviews of his and questioned his change in perspective- making it seem like he was insincere to begin with. But age does that to people. Change in thought processes is inevitable. But that’s not something we really understand when we are younger. It’s profound but also deeply personal to him.

2022-12-19 02:20:40 +0000 UTCI think my favourite is wildflower. I originally thought that I was gravitating towards it just because it’s the title and i’d listened to it more during streaming (doing my part for YouTube views). So I made it a point to listen to the other ones just as often. But it’s still wildflower for me. It just tugs at my heartstrings. The emotion. The angst. The pain that he’s gone through that is also reflective of my pain (granted in very different ways). It’s breaks me and heals me at the same time.

2022-12-19 01:45:56 +0000 UTCMy very 1st listen it was Wild Flower and its desperation and angst that drew me in ... In truth there are no skips for me .. each song pulls at me differently .. this last week the song that has me humming is Hectic.. its a nighttime driving in the car.. club city bop kinda vibe ... very sexy ... All Day is next .. pulling my ear lobe ... I LOVE THE SMART ASS LYRICS... Indigo as a whole is curated beautifully ... it marinates it lives with it stays it is the album of the year for moi. 🌌🌌💫 ... Hey Namjoon i volunteer as tribute. Ill call ya ill love ya .. 🖤

2022-12-19 01:39:12 +0000 UTCJared and Jordan, I truly love, love, love you guys! No one does it like you!!!! Your deep dives are AMAZING!!!! When you get into something, you really get into it. That’s what I love about your reactions. That is the reason why I continue to come back. No rush! Take your sweet time with this one. My first born child was born on RM’s birthday. My birthday is three days after theirs. Our color is sapphire, which is a shade of blue, that is our birthstone; however according to this album I am all shades of blue, I am 50 shades of blue, lol. I am not just one shade. I can relate to every song. One content you are forgetting though is RM has a two part series called “All Day,” on Bangtan TV, where he takes us deeper into Indigo as he takes us into his home and shows us what a day in his life is like….RM is my bias wrecker and V is my bias. I get them both this month. Don’t don’t get me wrong, I am happily married, 17 years to be exact, but I also love my Bangtan Boys…well men now. Lol. I thank you guys so much!!!! Borahae 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

2022-12-19 01:37:48 +0000 UTCI loved this reaction, like he said, you don't have to like it all, there is something for everyone. My favorites are Wild Flower, Yun, Closer, Hectic and Still Life. In fact, I came to appreciate more Still Life as I've watched the MV, and Wild Flower really came in my top as I started to understood the lyrics. Wild Flower visuals mixed with the lyrics are a whole journey for me, and this song is making me emotional, specially the "I'll return someday". Honestly, this album is getting better and better with each listen from me, I can't get enough of it, glad you enjoyed discovering it, now you'll get to deep dive more into the lyrics, which isn't an easy thing but I can't wait. Also for you to check out the content he carefully prepared. One last thing, among the interviews he did with some Korean comedians and as you didn't mention among the ones you will react, just know that he shared he is already working on another album, and he wants to drop it soon, so likely before going to the military (next year). I personally believe he might drop it after Yoongi's but who knows, anyway, just know he is cooking up another one.

2022-12-19 01:36:18 +0000 UTCI've been unable to pick a favourite from this album. I like Hectic for capturing the mood that it captures - the sort of frantic city-life where at the end of the day you flop down into bed and think "what was this day even FOR?!"... it's the mundane monotony of an empty day captured in an bop. In a way, I feel it's a little like "Lonely" in that it's saying "Yeah, we all have those days" But my favourite - I can't decide. It might be Wildflower for how personal and beautiful it is. But Closer is the one that gets stuck in my head the most - and it introduced me to Paul Blanco, which is amazing. As others have said - you won't find any credible info about personal romantic relationships for the boys. Korean fan culture doesn't support "idols" dating, though that's starting to very slowly change as more idols publicly date and get married and have kids - the change is VERY slow, and idols who do go public with their relationships can face being kicked out of their labels, and having large segments of their fans turn against them. BigHit doesn't have any rules against dating, so their jobs wouldn't be in danger at least... but there's also the public scrutiny that would come to their partners given just HOW famous BTS are... so while I do hope that that they have relationships, I totally understand if we're never told about them. Most gossip you see isn't credible - also, there's a running joke among army that RM is already married with five kids, but it's JUST A JOKE. If you don't know about the joke, however, you'd probably get pretty confused while browsing social media, etc.

2022-12-19 01:32:17 +0000 UTCLoved this reaction!! Closer has definitely been getting the most replays from me, and Still Life has become a staple on my "shower" playlist. Trust me, it's a vibe. lol On the dating question: it's not like here in the US where our faves dating is no big deal, or even something we happily acknowledge. In k-pop it's pretty taboo for stars to date openly. It's kind of sad to me, but that's why it's almost always just speculation/rumored and grabs K-headlines as a "scandal". Some of them even receive hate and threats just for loving someone openly. There are a few brave couples that have made it public, but they mostly date in secret. I hope this changes for them! Afterall, they are only human.

2022-12-19 01:25:08 +0000 UTC"I also think it is unlikely that all seven of the members are straight", that's kinda weird thing to say.. You wrote yourself that they never really said anything directly. Speculating about people sexuality is rude. Are you're just guessing out of the vibes or what? The fact that Yoongi said some things in Cyphers doesn't mean that he's not straight. Just say that we don't know anything about their love life and that's it. Their sexuality (or anybody's) should not be something to speculate about.

2022-12-19 01:11:31 +0000 UTCi love each song in different ways but my least favorite is the first one i am not really into blues or what that genre was. but i love his msg on the song that goes for everyone and you kind of feel healed after listening to the album idk if he intended it to but it feels like you are not alone. and even the person you love the most, don´t have everything figured out. Rm brings us all back down to earth and reminding us what´s important in life. that is what i got from it. the song I resonated most with is Lonely i think that´s why it's so many army´s favorite song. it´s an easy listen and I am lonely too so I totally get the YouTube and Netflix addiction. that´s why i watch reactors i guess hehe.
leat
2022-12-19 01:10:23 +0000 UTCIdk which is my favourite tbh but there are definitely one’s I gravitate towards though I listen to the album from to bottom everyday. My top songs and feelings on the album: -Wildflower made me cry the first time I heard it. Puts me in the feels every time! -Closer is literally an eargasm to me it so good. Sooo fcking sexy -change p.2 made me feel emotions I never felt in my life and I can’t explain the excitement I feel every time I listen. -Loney really hit the first time I heard it and it hits everyday I love grooving to it while relating to the feeling of loneliness. Still life and all day are amazing I instantly loved them Hectic took a few listens but I enjoy it now it’s catchy. Yun is a vibe and I like listening to it in the background when I’m doing something. No.2 is so beautiful to me and gives me hopeful vibes. Forgetfulness is enjoyable but it took a few listens to appreciate it as I’m not big on folk music. I really love their vocals tho :) To me Indigo is a masterpiece that will live eternally in people’s hearts. I’m so glad RM released this and I’m looking forward to watching the live performances her does of the songs with y’all! 💜💙 Thanks!!! -PS about the love lives of the members, tho some of them have talked about previous relationships when they were younger, they are not really open about current or past relationships since they have become idols. Public dating is very rare in the Korean music industry. Though BTS don’t have restrictions on dating some idols from other companies do. They have plenty of love songs so I’m sure they’ve had or are in relationships. But since they are not public about it, the rumours and wiki info are BS. Like Joon said Fuck all those infos (especially the stupid repetitive English interviews 🤦♀️) Anyway I just wish happiness for all of them💜
Maya001
2022-12-19 01:09:32 +0000 UTCCloser was the stand out song to me on first listen and is still my favourite. However Closer, Still Life and Yun are my top 3. Yun really grew on me after hearing his live performance of it on NPR. It’s sooo beautiful and meaningful. I listen to the album in its entirety most times though and have an appreciation for all the songs. I do like hectic too though, i think it’s soo groovy and i tend to gravitate to that :) Lol as it pertains to dating, you won’t find anything credible on any member because they’ll never admit to a dating rumor. I really do hope that they have good people in their lives though because Idol culture really seems like it can make your life pretty ‘lonely’.
Ash
2022-12-19 01:09:14 +0000 UTCdon´t believe everything you read:) RM or any of the other members has never been on date or anything, not that we know of. the relationship RM had was before debut. Suga and J-hope also had one before i think. But there is a rumor about V and another kpop idol dating and there is pictures, but we dont know for sure if they are real or not. I hope they find love though, kpop is very strict when it comes do dating. because fans go crazy if their idol has a gf. it´s sad but i hope BTS will end that stigma

2022-12-19 00:58:50 +0000 UTCno we dont "all know why" we only know the "why" of what other idols in other labels go through because bighit has no dating ban and bts themselves have said fans dont impact those decisions so whats they "why" youre thinking of?
tori
2022-12-19 00:48:19 +0000 UTCI like the entire album but I had to listen to it more than once. Some songs grew on me after I continued to listen to the album. My go to songs are Still Life, All Day, Closer, Lonely and Wildflower.
Veronica⁷
2022-12-19 00:47:44 +0000 UTCYay I was right!! I said in another video comment I think Jared would like Closer the most and Jordan Still Life. What's my prize ???? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 jk My shade of indigo starts with Violet because its my real first name. But my favorite song is Closer then Wildflower. I love the rest but it took me a few listens and I do admit I skip Yun, Forg_tful, and Change Pt. 2. But I respect and appreciate Namjoons passion for these songs. There's so much content I know you guys wanna get to but honestly I think if you watch the Seoul concert you get to see him perform all the songs without having to watch repeated content. However if you decide to watch the Tiny Desk and his NY performances I'll still watch you guys watch them lol. One thing Army respects is the boys privacy when it comes to personal matters. So when you read about rumors regarding their love lives please don't believe it unless they personally release it or BigHit/Hybe does. That will never happen tho cuz there are so many complications and backlash that can arise when Idols and actors reveal stuff like that because Korean culture is so different. Thanks for all the hard work you put in on your videos. Love you guys!! 💜💜

2022-12-19 00:42:15 +0000 UTCNot me screaming "NO NO NO!" when they started searching up rumours about RM's love life. I do hope each member of BTS have someone who gives them butterflies but so far as I know, that part of their lives is not public. Even though there have been rumours about BTS members with girlfriends, boyfriends, wives, etc it's all been denied and NOT TRUE. At this point its best to wait until they themselves reveal their partners but I guess it won't be anytime soon and we all know why😔

2022-12-19 00:38:57 +0000 UTCmaking my way through this and y'all saying you were surprised that Tablo had a good verse made me wanna cry 😭 lol not really but my man Tablo is a legend 😩

2022-12-19 00:38:13 +0000 UTCLonely is like a screaming anthem at the universe especially if you’re in a relationship where you can be more alone than if you’re actually alone. I can’t wait for this in the car test! Closer because you can’t get close enough, ever when you love and want someone. 💜💜
Cheryl ⁷ Lambert
2022-12-19 00:38:10 +0000 UTCSo glad you guys finally got to listen to Indigo!!! I love "Still Life" "Closer" and "Wildflower" but "Lonely" really got me. I almost cried after I firsted listen to it because it caught me off guard and I wasn't ready to hear him talk about loneliness that way. It hit me a little too close to home! I listen to it also non stop Haha! Can't wait to dig deeper with you guys in part 2 when you look at the lyrics.! Borahae!
Juliana Krampf
2022-12-19 00:36:35 +0000 UTCYun was one of the songs that I didn't gravitate towards at the beginning.. but now, i find myself not skipping it lol... it's a great start to the album ❤️
Adi
2022-12-19 00:36:23 +0000 UTCMy shades of blue are Closer, Still Life, Change pt2, All Day, Wildflower, Lonely and Hectic. I can’t skip them, they all resonate with me so much right now..my emotions are a mess and this album came at the right time for me. I can’t even explain it but I fell in love with Namjoon’s work and I felt like he got me, that I’m not alone and I’m not the only one struggling with anger and pain (Closer, Change, Wildflower, Lonely, Hectic). I can still enjoy some good moments for myself and feel some happiness (Still life, All day) even if now it seems so hard to stay positive. This hit me so deep.
Gabriela
2022-12-19 00:34:58 +0000 UTCLoved this reaction guys. I knew Closer and Still Life would be your faves. Wild Flower is probably mine but now it's hard to just pick one! I know you have a lot of content to get to but both Jin and Namjoon have now posted some vlog style videos on Youtube that I think you'd enjoy. They're good to watch to just chill out and see a glipse of daily life for them. In Namjoon's you see him talk about Indigo some more as well. I know you were curious about Namjoon's dating history. This is one of those things that is very different in the kpop world to the western music world. It is common for kpop idols to be banned from dating by their companies. I can't speak on whether Big Hit had this rule but the members have never publicly discussed any romantic relationships or even really discussed their sexuality. Their personal lives are kept very private. I sometimes wonder if this is the guys choice to do this- for the safety and protection of their loved ones, or if they are encouraged/ asked to do so. In the idol business it is thought that having idols appear to be single will be more attractive to fans. Obviously BTS have had relationships and many of them are likely currently in relationships, they could even be married for all we know. I also think it is unlikely that all seven of the members are straight. However, I think it's great that they can keep things private if they want that and maybe one day we will be allowed to find out more. So to answer your question about "credible sources" - there are none. BTS are the only credible source and they do not reveal who they are or who they have been dating, so we don't know and we respect that. Looking forward to more Indigo content! Lots of love.

2022-12-19 00:34:21 +0000 UTCI haven't finished the video yet, but you asked whose favorite song is hectic, so I had to comment lol. It's definitely one of my top favorites, actually, it's 100% tied for 1st place for me. My favorites are hectic, wildflower, and closer! I love hectic for a few reasons, but listening to this song at night with the city breathing through all the vivid neon shades of life, it just hits differently. It's so calming and just upbeat, it's perfect to me actually. The lyrics are also gorgeous to me.
haley!
2022-12-19 00:29:41 +0000 UTCI have listened to this album at least once per day since its release. Jared, I agree with you CLOSER is my JAM, and I've listened to that song multiple times daily. I am loving all the solo work so far and can't wait for the rest of the members. Borahae😊💜🫰🏼
Trinda 💜
2022-12-19 00:29:38 +0000 UTCAhhhhhhh I love your reaction! I still, even now, can't decide on a favorite song from the album. I love how the tracks are all so different and I really appreciate that about the album. They all make me feel a certain type of way and fit perfectly for one or the other situation I'm in. And I'm one of those people for which Hectic hits the right spot. I love to listen to it on my way home from work, after a late shift when it's dark outside and I just see some city lights ghosting by as the train moves and it helps me shake of the stress of my work day. As for your last google adventure... nothing has ever been confirmed by Namjoon, so as far as we know, he's single, or, if he has a partner, he wants to keep it private as of now. Rumours really are just rumours, and out of those it's probably most likely that he's married to Jin. :D
Hana
2022-12-19 00:29:14 +0000 UTCMy favorites are Lonely and Hectic. And a little fun fact: eAeon is DEEP in army twitter, he's interacting with medium-sized accounts and sending Namjoon some edits. It's honestly so cool to see, so many nice interactions and hilarious moments.

2022-12-19 00:26:43 +0000 UTCGreat reaction! Can't wait for the next part! No BTS member has been in a public relationship since their debut but RM has talked about a girlfriend he had in highschool on the show "Problematic Men." A few other members had girlfriends/crushes in middle school/highschool as well. BTS may have had private relationships though. I really hope they all get a chance to fall in love someday if they haven't yet. They are all such sweet humans!

2022-12-19 00:25:58 +0000 UTCOn the very first listen, "Hectic" was the song that caught my attention the most. The instrumental especially

2022-12-19 00:23:12 +0000 UTCI’ve been obsessed with Indigo n been listening to it so many times a day for 2 wks n at first I immediately loved wildflower, closer, no.2 and change pt.2. I would listen to the album from top to bottom n I would get so excited knowing my favorite song was about to play now after 2wks I can confidently say my favorites r closer and forg_tful. I really like every song from the album but I can definitely agree with what u said about hectic. I can’t wait to see ur reaction to the live performances they all did an amazing job. I’m so proud of RM like damn I stan this amazing artist..he really did an amazing job
Lala woods
2022-12-19 00:20:40 +0000 UTCActually Namjoon has talked about his past relationship (during high school I guess) on an episode of “Problematic Men” and why it ended. But it was a long time ago. Also, I agree with you about the invasion of their private lives. I don’t care who they’re dating or not as long as they’re happy and I hope media and some fans understand that as well
Navneet kaur
2022-12-19 00:18:24 +0000 UTCI think it's important for you guys to watch the magazine interview so you have a better grasp on the meanings of the songs. Also, when Tablo said "WE GOT DYNAMITE IN OUR DNA" that's a shoutout to BTS because of their songs Dynamite and DNA 💜 so it's not Kendrick Lamar's DNA song, it's BTS's DNA song 😊

2022-12-19 00:15:02 +0000 UTCDid you guys take a while to upload this reaction today because you were watching the World Cup final between france and Argentina?? Lol seriously one of the best games ever. The first hour was kinda one sided, but the last hour was absolute mayhem!
Selina T
2022-12-19 00:14:09 +0000 UTCFrom their debut in 2013, we've never heard any of them say "i'm/i was in a romantic relationship. They mentioned a couple of times who would fit their "ideal type" or who's their celebrity crush or smh. And of course they had a fair share of articles full of rumors, but they were just a rumors that were left with no conformation. And media like to exaggerate those things to the maximum. Rm stands next to a woman on an award show and there's an article written about it lol. For me, I think it's better to not know. We can speculate base off their lyrics, that they might have a love interest. But invading their private lives doesn't sit well with me. As I said, the media are cruel. If one of them said that they're seeing someone, the paparazzi would be all over them to catch a glimpse of their date. Plus some fans/anti-fans/haters would start acting the same. I wouldn't do anything with that information other that having a simple thought of "that's nice". That would be it. But for their safety is better for the world to not know a thing.
Maya
2022-12-19 00:03:50 +0000 UTCI love Wildflower and Closer the most, but honestly I've been listening to the whole album over and over 😂 Thanks for a great reaction! Glad you guys liked the album! Looking forward to part 2
Cara
2022-12-18 23:59:46 +0000 UTCMy favorite songs were No.2, Still life, and Closer. No.2 was the one that touched me the most, similar to the impact MONO has on me. It has been a rough week with Jin leaving and all but it's no good to stay sad. Thank you for posting guys, stay healthy!

I get not being blown away by a song upon first listen as I was like that with Change pt. 2 - it caught me so off guard. It only took me a couple listens to fall in love with it, but even so that might not happen for either of you for Hectic and that's totally fine. RM's even said so himself lol I can't wait to watch this in its entirety later. Thank you for sharing and for the effort yall put into your content, it's seen and very much appreciated!! borahae 💜

fox
2022-12-18 22:33:59 +0000 UTCIs RM feeling melancholy because he is lonely without a relationship that most young men have? That is, BTS were not allowed to date for years and we can't be sure they are allowed even now, their contract might prohibit that. Their contract with HYBE is up in 2024, it would be nice if they all could leave there and move on, whether together or separately, and have a truly free life to do as they wish and love who they want ... my favorite song is Wildflower, I think RM is saying he doesn't want to be a star anymore, he doesn't want the fame, he just wants to be down to Earth, to be at peace and enjoy life.
SkyWatcher
2022-12-18 22:30:20 +0000 UTCYes give the songs that didn't blow you away some time. At first I only liked Closer and Wildflower but now I skip (yes I admit) 2 songs to get to the others. Humans are built like that, when in doubt just give it another shot amd perhaps another lol
