Winter Bear by Tae - Reaction (Early Access)
🕑 Added 2024-11-07 15:00:09 +0000 UTCGood Morning Primos!
For today's Bonus video of the week, we are FINALLY getting to Summer's Birthday Pick! 🎉🥳
This song has come up time and time during several past V polls and in the comment sections a lot so we were of course excited to finally check it out. And it didn't disappoint! His voice in the chorus is just 😦
We hope you guys enjoy!!

This is my opinion, I think the only thing that's scary is a lot of jealousy.
Nassaazi Grace
No,there are many good videos of him than that plus it's very cringe 😬
Auro
i have been waiting for this, i absolutely love this song!! his vocals, and the reason behind this song, the fact that he wrote it after his beloved grandma passed away, that is why he wanted to turn back time, but in the end, he lets go of the pain, turns around! ahhh <3 Beautiful i hope yall watch his Winter ahead mv, it is out now, 2nd mv will be out tomorrw, and another christmas special will be out on 6th december. white christmas <3

Tomorrow V is gonna release his new song Winter Ahead, hope to see your reaction to that 😊 ARMY get ready to support Taehyung
fran valdes
Está hermosa canción me hace llorar cada vez que la escucho 😍 te amo Tae por crear esta bella canción
Cgucyi Ugxtu
V's "winter ahead releases tomorrow
Sheila Mae Duremdes
Love you Tae ❣️💜

guys Please react to the video of BTS (V) stealing men's hearts with his dynamate era on Taehyung's birthday.
Glorevi Abellera
Tae is just such an old soul. And I always turn to his song if need to calm my heart. His voice and songs, it soothe me to the core.
Taetae Bear
Taetae's voice is unbeatable. He can make any song a masterpiece with his unique vocals.
-Uyonn
I honestly think he’s both. Taehyung is the Bear while V (stage presence and all) is the tiger
Diana Casillas
There’s still kind of a debate about Team Tiger or Team Bear. I’m a 2016 army so for me Tiger was first and I still prefer it but maybe know the Bear is more fitter for him
Niniglu
I love "Christmas tree" and "Sweet night"
Giss VK
Her vocal range is something I appreciate and admire a lot, I can't wait for December to come so they can hear Christmas Tree, Sweet Night or Snow Flower❄️🤞🏻
brittany
yeahh i would love for them to hear their live vocals for it, its so good.
💜
Ugh😩 sweet night is THAT song!
Audrey Ninina
If we include all V songs it's almost impossible to have just one favorite song because they are so good. Especially if we also include recent ones like Layover songs or FR(IEND)S. I know I cant choose! 😆 but from the ones you guys haven't heard yet, comments here will clue you in!
Audrey Ninina
His high notes in Christmas Tree makes me love his voice soooooo much. My jaw dropped ever since 😳 I also like it when he goes chest voice, head voice, falsetto (like in Dynamite lives) it's just too good, ugh!
Audrey Ninina
To be precise, More recently in 2023 in the Elle interview he said he's a tiger more but fans see him as bear for Taehyung so he acknowledged again the V = 🐯 and TaeTae = 🐻 so yeah he respects our thoughts too and is both. WW3 was prevented after this interview 😅🤣🤣
Audrey Ninina
He didn't write this for his grandma. That's a fan theory that Army love to spread but is not true 😊
LaTanya M
Christmas tree and sweet night! 💜💜💜
Thida Duch
This! I wish I could have that duet on Spotify. The contrast in their voices makes it so special
borahae BTS
Others say that V wrote this song for his grandma :( it is such a lovely song from Tae bear :)
NatsLocker
But I dont think it was live?
JengHoseok
She was only 12 then when she learned it.
trista hall
They have because they've listened to all of the albums.
brittany
hey guys, loved the reaction, i was wondering if you guys would be able to react to 134340 (pluto) live. It's my fav bts song and i know you guys would love it.
Arshdeep kaur
Christmas tree and sweet night…they are so good🦋💜
Purplehaze
Me too! His voice is so soothing.
Purplehaze
Taehyung has explained that he feels that he is a bear and that "V" is a tiger. So he's both 😉 Tae is my bias so I love every one of his songs, but Christmas Tree, Sweet Night, Winter Bear, Scenery, Snow Flower and For Us are my favorites. 💜
Audrey Ninina
Wow! So nice how musicians inspire other musicians! Winter Bear by V is truly special 💖
Audrey Ninina
Same and then until Christmas Tree came out and then until Layover and FR(IEND)S came out.... see the pattern here 😆 but tbh it's so hard to choose a favorite song of his they are all so great and amazing for the soul.
Audrey Ninina
Omg me too! Christmas Tree is such a great romantic song tbh and one of my all-time fave as well. It literally dominated my Spotify wrapped 2 years in a row haha! [ I was pleasantly surprised ]
Audrey Ninina
Amazing recommendations!! The God of Gratitude Taehyung's episode is also perfect since it was a birthday special!
Idalmi Bultron
Great video! Hey! Has everyone voted on MNET yet? We've got a bomsang to win for 5 members!
Amanda Michelle
Y'all GOTTA watch V's "Sweet Night!" It's my absolute FAVORITE song, by V...heck, of ALL the members' solo stuff! It's INCREDIBLE. It was on the "Itaewon Class" soundtrack...that's a very famous K-Drama. Please react to Sweet Night as soon as possible! Here's the link to the official music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5ShoQimivM It shows scenes from the K-drama, which makes the song that much more touching, if you ask me. It doesn't have V in it, but that doesn't matter. Pls don't watch just a lyric video.
Audrey Ninina
Can't wait for them to discover Christmas Tree and Sweet Night. They are in for a treat
D
O great! Thank you so much!
Lindy
This song really sounds really comforting and his voice while singing is so beautiful it's almost like a hug. 🐻
Lane. L.
These are all good recommendations. I especially love V on IU's palette. I know they will love the duet, it's one of my favorites. 💜
Erica Patricia Pereira Borges Pereira
I still remember the mother who shared the video of her baby who only calms down listening to this song by Taehyung ♡
Erica Patricia Pereira Borges Pereira
Nice one Summer, this is such a iconic song 💜✨️
Thays Oliveira Lima
react to jungkook falling cover
Rokm_
This is my second favorite song of his. V’s vocals in winter bear are so soothing, so serene, idk how to explain but it’s like he sings in a way that makes you really feel and follow what he’s trying to convey through the lyrics, like he’s singing with his soul. My absolute favorite thing about his singing. Thank you for reacting 💜
kthv_sbme
yes iwant too
ChaAreum
I remember Jimin gave him 2 small bears on a Run episode and V used it as the cover
Kristi Butler
I love this song soooo much, it’s perfect for this time of year!
YuuChan097_OT7💜
Definitely!! 💜 His songs really helped me when I was having Insomnia.
Rebecca
whenever i can’t sleep i always put this song on and it always calms me down and literally lulls me to sleep 🤍
BZ
Tae's songs are soul warming!
Thays Oliveira Lima
React to jungkook and charlie puth we don't talk anymore
Mirjam
I think he said it in a vlive but even if he said it in run why would it be a spoiler?
Yeontae
The Tiny Desk reaction is on youtube.
Keisha L
This is misinformation; CCW was correct in their understanding of what Winter Bear is about (and thanks so much to whoever gave them the correct background for the song). The connection to his grandmother is something that some fans on YouTube speculated about when the video was released based on the date; however, Tae himself directly explained the song's history on a livestream a few days later. It really saddens me that his own words have been so thoroughly erased. Please, let's listen to and share what the members say about their music instead of spreading fan theories that have already been disproven. Here's a link to the "Say Hello to Me" livestream with Jimin and J-Hope where Tae himself explains the song (specifically from 16:00 - 24:00): https://weverse.io/bts/live/0-105457299
Keisha L
Unfortunately, what you read was a popular fan theory that was disproven by Tae himself a few days after the song's release. I'm not sure why the misinformation has persisted so long and spread so much, but here's a link to the livestream where Tae explains how he was inspired by the movie "About Time" to write this song (from 16:00 to 24:00 if you just want to hear that part): https://weverse.io/bts/live/0-105457299
DanielleM
As far as I’m aware, Tae has never confirmed that Winter Bear is about he’s grandma. So as far as we’re aware it’s just a theory by ARMY
Thida Duch
😫 what a shame! It’s too good! Do you know if they’re doing official focus cams? They’d be able to see each members stage presence versus trying to keep up with 7 moving parts
YuuChan097_OT7💜
My ultimate lullaby 🥹💜 Fun Fact: Jimin played Winter Bear so many times during the time of it's release saying it is his favorite. He also jokingly said that he wanted to gatekeep this hehe. If you love Winter Bear, then you'll definitely love these: - Scenery / Mixtape - Christmas Tree / KDrama OST - Sweet Night / KDrama OST This one also: - Snow Flower, although this one is kinda upbeat, it's definitely your style hehe. Taehyung will also release a song on Dec 6 at 2pm KST, a Christmas song collab with Bing Crosby called "White Christmas". Also about team tiger & bear, V is more of a Tiger & Taehyung is more of a Bear hehe. He said so himself in an interview, here is the link: https://youtu.be/O3HwR0xDSnY?si=ZQimWtoYvfO6F_Rf
Thida Duch
This song like so many of his other songs are so calming. Best way to wind down before bed or playing in background while reading cause it feels like a warm hug.
Yeontae
Yes! Unfortunately, for now, they do not react to fan made videos.
Thida Duch
Those are all great! I also wanted to add Kim Taehyung burning the stage with his charisma 😊 idk if you’ve reacted to his tiny desk but it’s so good. Raw smoked honey vocals
Yeontae
Please listen to Travel with Me (not official title) as bonus on his birthday! Just a very short clip. It's not even finished. Everyone loves it!
Yeontae
VICNIC - you could do this for his album review since you guys have listened to all his songs. And then IU Palette interview for his birthday!
Mustapha
I 100% agree
Aminata Mboup
i have been waiting for this video since your 1st BTS video reaction, this song has a special place in my heart.
Marvelous JJ
Not sure where you might be collecting suggestions for V's birthday week in December, so if you don't mind I'd add a few suggestions here (not songs, since those are all already mentioned): 1. Running Man episodes with V (absolutely hilarious): Episode 671 & Episode 682 + first half of 683 2. V on IU's Palette 3. VICNIC (2023) - Fan meeting highlights 4. Spotify Interview: V makes it rain at Spotipoly There's also a lot of WOOGA Squad content, but probably none that would work for the birthday week specifically. Hopefully in the future (like Jinny's Kitchen S1, In the Soop: Friendcation and The God of Gratitude special on YT).
mimicha122
Ccw if you are reading this be careful this is a spoiler I do not want to spoil you Jimin says it in a run episode
Melissa Barnes
One of my favorite Tae songs was actually never released officially. He gave us a short video clip but then never finished the song. Such a bummer because so many of us liked it. If you search YT, I believe you can find it listed as "the travel song". It's extremely short but definitely worth checking out.
Maria Bers
I love this song so much
Thea
Happy (belated) birthday summer!! 🫶
Ashlee
Winter Bear is such a comforting song im so glad you guys got to listen to it 🥺💜
smilehoyaaaaa💜
Tae's voice feels like a warm hug on the coldest day. Like hot chocolate by the fire place in winter. It's so beautiful. And this song specifically just gets me so emo idk why lolllll
Ondrea Usher
It is almost Tae-cember. Please make sure to listen to Snow Flower during his birthday week. I keep that one on my playlist as one of my Christmas songs.
Yeontae
They reacted to this on Youtube!
Daniela Schrul
Fun fact. When V was promoting Layover he went on the street in secret, wearing a bear head , and invited people on the street to a 1 minute live performance. When they followed him, they were surprised with a 1 minute performance of V singing on eof his new songs acapella I think.
Yeontae
IU and Tae's duet!!!
Eugenia Moraes
💜💜💜
Mirjam
If I know right he wrote his song about his grandma who passed away. A little more comforting fact about the song is that jimin loves it! If I remember right he said somewhere that he used to fall asleep listening to this song!🤍
PrettyJumpTree
Love V's voice and his vocal range. Can't wait for you guys to get to Sweet Night, which Summer wanted to check out a long time ago.
Annmarie
Yessss Winter Bear this song is so special in my heart !! ALSO so excited for White Christmas with Bing Crosby!! ❄️🤍 I hope for Taecember we get a reaction to him on IU’s Palette as well as Christmas Tree, Snow Flower, & Sweet Night (& of course White Christmas) 🤍🥰
Taetaelover
He has a big range in sweet night too, you will love that song
Dorry
Happy belated birthday Summer 🫶🏽

Helen H
Oh my god I love this song
Nikolina
And christmas tree 🥹 for me its such a chilling song and something so new for V his voice is so gentle and mature in such a refreshing way . Christmas tree is one of my all time favourite songs ever. 😍😍
Anija
This song is so soothing…
Anija
Yes ccw will absolutely love this!!!
Alice Smith
He was in several.places he has about 4 different hair colors.
AY
Beautiful song🥰 I can’t wait for his bday week so you can listen to his other masterpieces!
Fallon Tsui
Yes to both! It’s hard to pick a favorite of V’s solos cuz they are honestly all so good. But I really love Sweet Night and Snow Flower a lot
Kearyce Moore
I know i cried when talked about it during muster💜
Kearyce Moore
Winter bear has always been😘🤌🏼. Scenery, snow flower, and it's definitely with jin are gems as well.
APOBANGPO7
This song is so calming I think all members of bts love it too! Our romantic prince can do no wrong. His voice is something else 💜
D
He did, right? I can relate. His wistful expression and also the walk backwards, like wanting to turn back time. And the sadness and pain like a persistent thread in all your joys, when you enjoy food and when you seek peace in nature.
Yeontae
Cant wait for you to hear Sweet Night and Snow Flower!
Marvelous JJ
Love this song. Although to be fair, I haven't found any V solo song that I wouldn't love. His style and voice just fit my music interests perfectly. Looking forward to Christmas Tree, It's Definitely You (with Jin!) and more reactions ;)
simran
I hope you guys react to his other songs: Scenery, Sweet Night, Snow Flower, Christmas Tree, His cover of Someone Like You, Wherever u r ft. UMI, and his upcoming collab with Bing Crosby White Christmas (Dec 6)....maybe his birthday week???...manifesting haha
Tetebread
i love winter bear sm! first time i heard it feels like he was singing it for me which made me tear up ahahh
Kat Tovar
I can't wait for Dec. 6!!!!! Ugh, it's gonna be amazing!
Faye Roz
I LOVE WINTER BEAR. It brings this certain warmth to my heart 💜 Looking forward for you to react to more Taehyung songs like Christmas Tree and Sweet Night!
nina
tae himself confirmed that v is a tiger and taehyung is a bear!! so both sides would be accurate descriptions of him!! personally i lean more toward taebear but they’re both aspects of his personality!! 🫶🏼
nina
and tae still has some more hidden gems!! hopefully y’all get to them for his bday week!! also he has a new xmas cover with bing crosby dropping on december 6th!! ❄️
Risty rururuuu
Just for your guys information .. Actually V write this song as a tribute for his grandmother who passed away .. i just wish i could hug him ..
Heather Miller
Yes he did write this for his grandma
June⁷
this was my fave Tae song until Sweet Night came out🥰
fofa
i can’t listen to this song without crying 🥹
D
I loved this song, then read somewhere that he wrote this addressing his grandma after she passed. I don't know if it's true, but now I feel sad when I listen to it. @CCW, Please listen to Sweet Night, Christmas Tree as well. So looking forward to his White Christmas.
kthv_sbme
6 years ago exactly 6 years ago i hear this song and i fall in love with V and his voice Taehyung's music is full of emotion, for example, if you listen to this music in 10 years, it will still be beautiful to you and the style of the song will not become old. Another beautiful music that Taehyung made and wrote himself, which broke Adele's record on Spotify at that time and is also a longer song, is Sweet Night, which really gets you lost in his voice. And lost in his voice notes
Ivy Rose Bongbong
I love Tae's style...Also, since December is Tae's birth month, he always releases new song/cover every December. Another one will come out this Dec. 6 and I really cant wait for it...I love all his songs esp Snow flower, christmas tree, sweet night. There's something in Tae's voice that will touch your heart and soul 💜💜💜
Lirio Urbina
Snow flower by v feat peakboy! My favorite 💜
nicole s.
About Time is my favorite movie ever 🥹
Natalie Quarrell
Sweet night is a must see. One of my favourites.
Chloe
SCENERY is another V song that fits right up your alley.
kittygangxo
like Jimin said... this is such a lullaby, my fav song 💜
JengHoseok
My daughter plays this in her violin 🎻
Tiny_minnie
Abby presented Gabriel and is supposed to be the only moment that he talks lol 😂🤍
석민 이
I'm so happy that we can listen to the songs composed by V together. I'm happy that you guys can feel his emotions too. Thank you for the reactions. There are a few more of his self-composed songs left, so if I get the chance, I'd like to see more reactions.
mandharakha
he writes this song for his grandmother, who helped raise him, so he dedicated this song to her, wishing her a restful, peaceful sleep in heaven. i’m so sad whenever i hear this. and fyi guys, on sunday i rewatched all reactions winter bear hope you guys will rewatch this someday, and on monday you tell us about this. i’m so emotional, i dont know why lol
Bangtan
His voice always makes me feel warm 🤎
Bangtan
please guys react to Hide & Seek w/ BTS & Ashton Kutcher..
Ivy
I love Winterbear. This masterpiece and his Sweet Night are my lullabies. In the most stressful time of my life, these 2 songs helped me go to sleep and helped put my anxiety at bay. I love Tae’s romantic style. And like I always describe his voice, his voice is always hauntingly beautiful 💜💜💜
