The 52 Hertz Whale

The loneliest whale in the world

Follow me:

[catherinedeng]

"My mother told me the sea was clear and blue
Told me to be loud so that others can hear it
But what do I do
It’s so dark here
The other whales
Speak so differently
I just can’t hold it ma
I wanna say I love you
I sing this song alone
I flip the same music sheet
This ocean is too deep
But I’m grateful
(No one will see my tears)
I’m a whalien"
-BTS, Whalien 52

the fact that bangtan wrote a song about this whale is beautiful, i'm glad that they make such meaningful songs like this and not just those cliche love songs.

[blackrose]

am i the only one who felt really sad about it? poor whale T·T imagine you being alone... thats scary and sad!

[sofiahhanif]

This has been keeping me up all night, and I was wondering; is there only one whale like this in the whole world? If no other whale can hear them, wouldn't they be able to at least hear their own kind? Because they never stated the estimated amount of whales worldwide and if there was more than one they wouldn't be considered lonely anymore? *listening to whalien 52 before sleeping is not a good idea*

i feel really bad for the whale, i’m too emotional for this rn

[tibees]

I'm really happy that so many people enjoyed this video! I had to do a bit of googling to understand what you were talking about - but you have introduced me to a new band :)
Please check out some of my other videos and leave a comment so I know what you think :D

Here because of BTS's song. I can't believe they could make a touching song based on this. RM's a genius. Wow.

"In the middle of the vast ocean
One whale speaks softly and lonelily
The fact that no matter how much they shout, it won’t reach
Makes them so gravely lonely that they quietly shut their mouths"
"Lonely whale
Singing alone like this"
"Lonely whale
Like this, try calling once again"
"My mother said the sea is blue
She said to let out your voice as far as you can
But what to do, it’s so dark and there are only different whales
speaking entirely different words"

If they do find the 52 hertz whale i dont want it to be stuck in a small tank like a pet and do tricks while they observe it like in seaworld

[maxivides]

“Do you think you could still appreciate beauty and life if you had no one to share with?”. That question, somehow, describes exactly how I feel right now.

Whalien 52 inspired me to create a poem for my class, and now I'm searching up stuff about whales.
Man, my boys spreading/influencing knowledge out there.

It's okay whale, your species maybe can't recognize you but we know you know, you're never walk alone now 😊

[poisonoushater]

In an article I have read, it said that the whale might not be alone :) It was because another whale made this sound and in the 2 separated sensors they were detected at the same time or something haha

Anyways, BTS made me search things about this whale :D

[namjesus]

I’m so late, I just realized Whalien 52 is about this. The fact that they wrote a song about this is just so sweet 💙

LONELY LONELY LONELY WHALE

I'LL FIND YOU 😭💖

[brijeshchaturvedi]

So today BTS published "We are bulletproof eternal" and I end up here to know who is " 52 Hertz whale". And now I'm crying in korean

[kashaedit]

this is so sad, but they aren't alone anymore all of us ARMYs are here :)

[SaraG]

this whale isn't lonely anymore, ARMYs and EXO-L are here to support XDD

[edgarsbeach]

“If all it’s known is solitude, would it still miss a crowd?”

Just, damn. It's a beautiful line.

I have to wonder, though - if there's any biological drive to reproduce in it, then of course the life of loneliness is a life of suffering. Or at least a yearning left unmet.

[misstutor]

Honestly, I came here because I heard Rapmon & someone else from BTS were inspired from the "52 Hertz Whale" and that's how they came up with the lyrics for "Whalien 52".
