Here is some extra info about the music video... Director Um Tae Hwa released a guide explaining the MV and gave 4 Key points. First, the "cube" signified the discrimination and oppression that are prevalent in the daily lives of the main characters. Second, the "camcorder" represents the "lens of love," an important "device" that allows us to look at the beautiful things in the world beyond the internal or external appearance of the characters. Third, IU and BTS V became the main characters in a "survival story of a dystopian worldview of someone who cannot speak and sees the world only through his left eye." Despite the difficulty, feeling hurt and exhausted, they relied on each other despite "cube" and tried to overcome it in the end. Fourth and last, the "wedding dress and tuxedo" symbolize the "fruit of love." At the end where they are seen rising in the air, it depicts that they are finally "free to fly away from all kinds of oppression and pressure." Have a wonderful day💜 Ps.. BTS does have songs with key changes.... 😅you have soooo many songs still to hear.
The comment I wrote discrediting the narrative you have I was going to post as a reply to your comment. But I decided to post it as a direct comment not a reply to yours because more people will see it. But I hope you read it . If you can find the actual link to the director's guide (not the article that claims the director posted a guide) please provide me the link. For I have never seem it anywhere or even seem it referred to anywhere except the one article. I have to wonder if the author of that article somehow read something by the director about his movie Concrete Utopia which did have that as a sub theme.
I am 72 years old. Several years ago I experienced an emotional trauma that stole music from me. I stopped listening to anything because it made be incredibly, unbearably sad. Then my daughter introduced me to BTS. Through them I have regained a huge part of my life. I guess this sounds dramatic, but there are many stories like mine. I watch their non music stuff too. If you want to see a little of their personalities, watch their appearances on The Tonight Show, Late Night With James Cordon and others. They are so much fun. The oldest videos are amazing and they were so very young. Welcome to the Army.
I'm so sorry for whatever it is you went through and can certainly empathize. Honestly, it doesn't sound dramatic. Music is, quite literally, the soundtrack to our lives! So many memories are tied to a song. That's why we have wedding songs! There's so much I need to see. All 7 guys seem down to earth and I really need to peel back the curtain and see more of who they are.
You pronounced her name correctly it’s capital IU. V from BTS has also acted before. They did an amazing job. This was taped a week before he entered the military. I’m so glad you watched this. Thank you! 💜
Thank you! I can never be too sure. Oddly, I find a lot of similarities between KPop and Metal when it comes to the use of alias names and often the most logical pronunciation is the right one… but there’s always an outlier! 🤪✌️💜
@@ReactionsThatRock Hi the handsome actor in this MV is called Kim Taehyung. It's good that you don't even recognize him but still appreciate his amazing acting. But if you've listened to BTS and you didn't recognize V or Taehyung, you got to listen to Taehyung's solo songs Singularity, Stigma, his latest album named Layover which was chosen by Billboard as the 2nd best Kpop album in 2023. Give these R&B and jazz songs Love Me Again, Slow Dancing, Blue, For Us and Rainy Days in Layover a listen. This album is regarded as a not-to-be-missed by Army
Did you pick up on the fact that IU's character was a deaf mute hence the sign language and that V was blind in one eye. It's his good eye she covered at the very end so he couldn't see what was coming
I missed it in full the first time as my focus goes back and forth between the captions and the full video. I saw hand gestures but thought it was more about moving silently (like how navy seals use motions). Watched it again earlier today and really picked up on it this time.
I really love your honest reaction on this music video of 2 great actors/singers . As a senior citizen, i never thought i'll get hooked on watching kdramas/listening to BTS & other Kpop groups. I spent my younger years collecting albums of hard rock (Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin,etc Times changes with the modernized society..so let's enjoy n go with the flow.👍😁♥️
IU is a very popular and beloved singer/actress in South Korea. I mainly know her from her dramas. I cried when I first watched this MV (late January). The last of the guys had just enlisted over a month prior (early December), including V, and so seeing him again was emotional, not to mention the story itself tugged at your heartstrings. The guys left us so many gifts to keep us company while they are away. The next gift on the schedule is from J-hope, which will be a dance documentary "Hope on the Street" with an OST album (with a collab with Neil Rodgers) coming out in late March. IU and V sound beautiful together too. They sang her song "Ending Scene", another beautiful piano ballad, when V was a guest on her talkshow "IU's Palette". They're close friends in real life. IU and J-hope also sang together on her show, her song "Pierrot Laughs at Us" and his song "Equal Sign". Love both performances. IU and Suga are great friends as well, and have two collaborations "eight" (where he featured, co-wrote, and produced) and "People Pt. 2" (a softer side of Agust D). Both songs have MVs, live performances, and both have won awards. IU was a guest on Suga's talkshow too, called "Suchwita". Suga enlisted in September last year, but recorded a bunch of Suchwita episodes before enlisting, which were released slowly over several months. The last episode was posted just a couple of days ago on Monday 😭I miss them. Double key change - Pentatonix's "Can You Feel the Love Tonight"
Ok… my biggest takeaway here is that I still have soooooooo much to see and listen to!!! Thank you so much for all of this info!!! Also… my mom LOVES Pentatonix but I thought they just did Christmas stuff. I’ll have to check out that song… which sounds like something from the Lion King?!
@@ReactionsThatRock- Yep, it's a cover. They do a lot of other things other than Christmas music. Including a cover of "Bohemian Rhapsody"! Imagine, a rock song by an a capella group. But they did it justice. Their Grammy-winning songs are incredible as well. "Daft Punk", "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy", and "Jolene" with Dolly Parton. When the Grammys changed their category just to give you a Grammy, you must be doing something right!
@@ReactionsThatRock I love Pentatonix. I went to their show in Prague last year. They have original music and definitely a lot of other covers that aren't Christmas music, but yeah, they're best known for the Christmas stuff. When you talked about double key change, my mind immediately went to them too. I was sure they did it, I just couldn't remember where and OP nailed it 😆
I like you and reiterate your thoughts on new western music (for the most part). I'm a 60's Boomer and proud, Silver ARMY. BTS had reinvigorated my love of music, and equally spurred a growth in my intellectual curiosity. It has opened me up to other cultures and had enriched my life in many untold ways.
I once asked my (Boomer) dad when he stopped listening to current music... he told me it was when he couldn't relate to it anymore. I never thought that would happen yet I found myself in a cycle of late 90's and early 2000's rock/pandora playlists. That's actually why I started this channel... to break out of my little musical cage!
Me too. I lost interest in music as I couldn't relate to it at all anymore except an occasional one. My daughter introduced me to BTS and I assumed they would be a Korean version of Back Street Boys. As a rock and metalhead I never thought I would like them. I was so very wrong. Each of their songs makes you learn something new, whether it be cultural, internal, self reflection, and so on. I have read books that have inspired their lyrics and thoughts, I am learning Korean, I am more thoughtful if others and I now work a lot harder. They are so inspirational and comforting. It is like gaining a wider family, having 7 more children that I am so proud of, and ARMY as a huge friendship/support group 💜
Per the video director, the main characters are disabled in some way- IU is either deaf or mute, V is blind in one eye. The boxes are symbolic of society attempting to place the disabled into boxes so to eliminate them from the world either by ignoring them or putting them into a place where they can't be seen.
As a Canadian born in the 60's I've had the pleasure of getting exposed to A LOT of music that would be on the radio (way back when) from all over. I remember 'Rock Me Amadeus' from FALCO. It was mostly in German but it was still a banger. I even remember seeing an mv and song from Epik High (a Korean group) back when it came out and thought it was really good. And these things were a part of our mainstream media. It's easy for others to not realize how insulated the American Music market is and how little exposure they (Americans) get to music that is not fed to them from the American music industry. There is so much good music in the world it just needs people to listen. PS: The name of the cube is 'Nemo' and it represents the boxes that we try to put people into. Not just people with difficulties but people as a whole.
I love FALCO! In fact, I used to do ring announcing for smaller independent wrestling shows and would come to the ring to that very same song many MANY times!!! You’re not wrong though. If it doesn’t come from Los Angeles, Nashville or New York, you likely won’t hear it on radio. 🥲
Bro, welcome to the world of IU. Let me drop some knowledge: Wrote these lyrics (and most of her songs) Produced this mv 4 lead roles on Netflix rn (5th cominf soon) 2 songs with Suga (Eight and People Pt. 2) *31 all time #1 singles on korean charts* -Most all time by a longshot, including BTS at #2 all-time. Only Korean on Rolling Sone's list of 200 greatest singers of all time. Absolute legend in her industry. Greatest soloist in Korean history IU
@ReactionsThatRock yeah she's a mega star but hasn't had much exposure over here until just recently. Started the first leg of her world tour the other day and will be preforming in usa this summer for the first time ever.
I am so happy that you decided you would view this outstandingly done MV and hear this hauntingly beautiful song again since each time you watch, as well as by reading the comments, you will find something new to appreciate. IU (outstanding actress as well as singer) and V were a perfect match for this MV. IU's beautiful voice and composer and arranger for "Love Wins All", Seo Donghwan, have given IU and all of us a gift of ear candy (including a key change).
Ah! Sorry! I didn't think to tell you how to pronounce Tannies when I commented it. >.< I take for granted that people don't just know how to say things. You're right, it's TAN-knees. It comes from the latter part of Bangtan. Which in English most pronounce how it's spelled. However in the Korean pronunciation, the B has a P sound. So it's like Pang-tan. The sound in Pang is closer to the sound of Pong (like ping-pong) than it is like bang. Sonyeondan is like so-nyun-dan, the dan sounds more like 'tan' than the hard "d" sound you'd expect and a long a like when you go to the dentist and say ahh. I don't know if I explained that well. I wish I could just say it out loud to you. lmao. IU is a powerhouse. She's a national treasure in Korea. She has two collabs with Suga, Eight (on her album) and People pt.2 (On Suga's D-Day album- which is under Agust D) Suga, J-Hope and V have all been on IU's Palette, where they have an interview and preform together. I love all three of their episodes, it's really nice. If you're into shows and interviews, I recommend those episodes as well as Suchwita (Suga's show).
Awesome info!!! She was incredible in this too. Just amazing! I also love that my Korean is getting better by the day!!! You explained it exceptionally well!!✌️💜
You are fun! I am a 53 yo Army. I was introduced to BTS during the pandemic and their music has brought me joy ever since. It is cool learning how they started and following them now. Unfortunately, I am pretty much alone as people I know, my age or older, won't give them a chance. You can love Five Finger Death Punch, The B 52's, Foo Fighters, and BTS. (My playlists are pretty wild) IU's voice is incredible. She is very well known and a terrific actress. That was V from BTS. He is an actor, too. Glad you appreciate the key change. You will find that in other songs, too. Keep enjoying! It is refreshing!
I'm a 50+ old new subscriber... just watched all of your BTS reactions plus this IU video. Since you like videos that tell a story, I can't wait for you to watch Spring Day, and then Spring Day Explained by Italian Army after you watch the official video... and see how far or close your impression is. Welcome to the BTS rabbit hole... enjoy the ride! 💜
mi unica cantate favorita coreana recien se abre y esta saliendo con su música fuera de corea este año con su nuevo álbum, espero que mucha gente conozca lo talentosa que es, estoy orgullosa de IU que alfin se puso el reto de salir fuera de corea T_T . no pierdo las esperanzas que algún dia se pase por latam
1. I absolutly love this song 2. the video is beautiful.....i haven't stoped watching this video, as a disabled person myself with a son that is also disabled, i absolutly love the symbolism. another thing i find is that music in general, we tend to hear it on a different emotional level than just words. That's why we can appreciate and understand songs in different languages.
This was a great song/video. I need to go back and watch it now that I have the meaning in context! Agreed about the emotional connection to music. I have a few friends that listen to “everything” and don’t seem connected to any of it. I feel sad for them!
BTS’s biggest (and most boy-bandy pop) song, Dynamite has a famous and effective key change. But used to a totally different effect from this emotional song.
Dynamite is not a great Intro to BTS because it is not at all representative of their wider work, it’s true. I think Fake Love is probably a better intro. Or do On followed by Black Swan.
@@ReactionsThatRockDynamite is a great song but I think we warn people to avoid it at first because it plays into the boy band stereotype and newbies may think that’s all BTS has to offer.
You are definitely unique, no 2 reactors are the same - validation delivered 😂. Speaking of falling out of your chair, Jimin has a very interesting relationship with chairs 😂
Thanks for this reaction! I love that you liked the song, even though it's not something you would normally listen to. And the video...it didn't make me cry the first time because I didn't understand it very well, but after reading about it and watching it a few more times, it makes me cry now each time I see it. They did such a great job acting. The behind-the-scenes video of them filming this video is good. As far as BTS songs to listen to, I'd go with Fake Love or On first. I'm excited to watch you discover their music.
@@ReactionsThatRock Maybe it's confusing at first, but the music videos are really telling a story. They were the beginning of something called "Bts Universe" or B.U, Each one there is a character. It's something that we still don't fully understand because there are so many parts, clips, music, comics/books and individual phrases, it's something really cool and complex ☺️💜 I hope you enjoy it and have fun trying to connect the two MVs 🤭
15:44 I can relate. In a way I can easier listen to music in a language I don’t understand because I can feel the emotions of the music better when I’m not distracted by listening to and understanding the words. Lyrics are important and the impact is great when I’m reading the subtitles later, but I feel the music better when music is not in German or English. Don’t know if it’s making sense, but that’s how my brain works 😂
I'm right there with you. When the song is in English, I get so hung up on the lyrics that I can miss what the music itself is trying to tell me. This is one reason I secretly like opera music... I have no idea what's being said so the music MUST move me! :-)
I've been a big fan of IU for over ten years. Thank you for your reaction. I can highly recommend Dreamchatcher is the girls group of K-pop. Their music is bassed on rock and EDM, Hip hop and different types of music mixed in there. Dreamcatcher is very unique. You will enjoy their music.
Talking about key changes, then you should really check this out (more along your style of music) -- Lovebites -- Liar : ua-cam.com/video/BkPxcnsRjlk/v-deo.html from their recent concert: (Tokyo, 2023) -- "Knockin' at Heaven's Gate" or Empty Daydream : ua-cam.com/video/BkPxcnsRjlk/v-deo.html from an earlier concert: (Tokyo, 2019) -- "Daughters of the Dawn"
I listened to a live version of MDO not too long ago but I’ve been told I need to go much deeper in to the catalogue! I appreciate the links. Should make things much easier!!!
@@ReactionsThatRock Yes! I watched your reaction to MDO! I figured, since you've already heard one song of Lovebites and with your rock & metal background, you'd be open to checking out a couple of their songs that utilize key changes in it. 😃
Oh boy if you want a key change, listen to Lie where the key change is representative of the lie. Also thanks for reacting to this song, it's beautiful.
I love that you took the time to share with us your preconceptions about going on this journey into music outside of your preferred genre. I grew up in the States listening to pop, rock, metal, and grunge, but I sang jazz and classical. Often I sang in foreign languages like German, Italian, Latin, Hebrew, French, and even Russian. So the Korean language was not what I expected to have trouble absorbing. Anyway, I enjoyed you sharing how you've grown so far in the journey. 💜
Thanks so much for the kind words!!! I was in a kids choir when I was younger and we learned church songs in Latin and Christmas songs in just about every language there is but then I grew older, found a guitar and chased girls and all that intro to world music was gone in a flash. Urgh… if only I’d known.
I adore your reaction, I articulate so well how I feel about kpop as a metalhead/rocker. You MUST check out Ateez if you haven't. They are kpop, but rocky and their albums are actually great concept albums. Happy to make recommendations for you!
@@ReactionsThatRock Most audience chose the best Tiny Desk Concert is Taehyung or V's Tiny Desk Concert. 3 jazzy R&Bs are performed with his own band and received a lot of compliments. A number of rock or metal listeners love Taehyung's R&Bs. You got to give his Tiny Desk concert a listen. Also Taehyung has sung Ending Scene with IU in her program ''IU's Palette''. Their voices blended excellently together
I came into BTS 2016-17. Back then, even earlier, there seemed like there was an epidemic of Videos that had girls in bikini's, twerking around the pool. Men with big chains & and magnums of champagne. The first few videos were fun to watch but then everyone was doing a variation on that video. BTS brought us in to film making and real story lines with their videos. I believe that BTS videos, helped to improve American videos and I say that because of what I've heard American celebrities say.
I honestly didn’t hate this videos but I know EXACTLY what you mean! They’re cheap to make and sex sells. Who needs a story or an artistic vision when thongs exist?!?
IU is a master at key changes, many of her songs have the key changes that you can’t imagine how they go together but she makes them work beautifully every time! IU her own genre since her songs are so diverse and she writes Manet of her songs and compose and produce som of the too! IU always comes out with completely different songs even within same album as you can see as this one does too. IU’s songs and MV’s have so many hidden meanings and they are like Easter eggs because you it’s fun to find those hidden meanings! IU started 5 years before BTS debuted and BTS is also so much like her and that’s why IU & BTS are two favorite artists!
That's exciting! In case you couldn't tell, I'm a HUGE fan of key changes when they serve the story. Country music does it a lot, but it often feels obligatory rather than purposeful and rock music rarely does it (and when they do, it's often sloppy). I'll still say Death Metal owns the key change game, but they also have likely the fewest people ever hearing it. :-)
If you enjoy music with a story, and the likes to play around with key, You should check out some Red Velvet, one of the strongest vocal groups in the brief history of Kpop, especially their most recent music; Feel My Rhythm, Chill Kill, and Cosmic.
Mmm, like I told you in the V slow Dancing MV. There's a few songs of BTS that are ballads that I think that you can like but there are not MV, but there are "color Lyrics" MV for the songs. It means that you can look who from BTS is singing and the live version. The truth untold 00:00 House of Cards
Oh... I took a screenshot of that comment and added to my list! I do like the idea of "color lyrics" too. Very smart thinking for whoever did that! I'll be checking these (and more) out in the days, weeks, months and years to come!
I love the reaction!! I am a huge BTS fan and V is my bias 💜💚 I would LOVE to have you do a reaction to the entire BTS group and an amazing introduction into BTS (in my opinion respectively) is Mic Drop featuring Steve Aoki and also ON I hope to see your reaction and thoughts soon 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thanks so much!!! I’ve been debating which full group song to start with and both On and Mic Drop are near the top of the list. I guess we’ll see which way the count toss lands! 🤪✌️💜
I was also in a musical rut where all i heard were songs about clubs with bottle service, violence and raunchy lyrics. Not for me. Enter in BTS with great beats, melodies and wait poetry? Thought provoking lyrics? Anthems to love myself? I’m home.
But... but... we were ALL in the club getting tipsy! Erryone! :-) I honestly don't mind the themes and the raunch (although I wouldn't want my imaginary kids hearing it) but I'd found music went having something to say to being just part of a formula intended solely for radio play. They stopped making music for us and started making it for the advertisers. :-( BTS has a whole different feel. It's like they are writing music for the sake of the music. It's quite refreshing!
Just a heads up--lots of key changes in K-pop. Lots of surprises, period, as songs progress. And yes, it's part of what makes it so compelling to millions of fans.
That’s good to know. Seems only country and death metal do it in the states and it’s so predictable that it usually doesn’t move the song the way this did.
Hi! I'm really happy you're enjoying these new songs. Changing the locks is a thing? Don't know that I've ever done that😅 (Is BTS MMA 2019 on the list?) Thanks again for the reactions 🤘💜
I may or may not have a real estate license or two in “real life”. I’d always recommend changing the locks. You don’t know what the old owner still has! Also, as a kid, my brother used to give a key to his girlfriends. All of them. It never ended well! 😂🤣
@@ReactionsThatRock I'm sure that others will tell you but MMA stands for Melon Music Awards. And in 2019, BTS basically turned their segment into their own concert. I became an ARMY shortly after that performance and was tempted to watch it right away as a baby ARMY but I really wanted to know the music before seeing all of those songs performed live in such an epic way. They did 5 full songs and like 7 song snippets. When I finally did watch it, I was so glad I had waited. (Ditto with the MV for We Are Bulletproof: The Eternal which I saved for my 1st ARMYversary and was glad because I understood all the references!) But this is your channel so you do what you want! Really enjoying your reactions and the care and respect you take in doing them. Borahae! 💜
What you had before was xenophobia, the fear or apprehension of touching into something of a foreign language. Thank you for opening up and overcoming this. Still so many people are playing into the narrative that they will not enjoy music from a different language. I heard this from a reactor previously about ballads. Many people hate ballads because of the emotionality of the song. I admit their are some that goes over the top that it makes you cringe. But ballads is where you can truly showcase a singer's vocal abilities. There is no hiding from it, if you use autotune, it will be very obvious. With other genres, like pop, rock, hiphop, you can hide those vocal inabilities with catchy beats and loud music, but not in ballads. You have to have an above average vocal ability to truly shine in a ballad. The only genre I can think of where you cannot run from bad vocals is opera lol.
I honestly don’t dislike ballads… in fact, rock has many MANY ballads that are phenomenal (from Journey, to Meat Loaf, to Maiden and even G&R). They are emotional though and it takes a special singer to pull them off! Much easier to hide average singling behind a crunch guitar and a few screaming lyrics! As for xenophobia, I wouldn’t take it that far. There was no dislike or cultural distaste, it was really more of an ignorance to what existed outside the mainstream spoon-fed media. It’s like going to a buffet knowing you LOVE the chicken so you simply never try the fish. 🐠 ✌️
This latest release on MV has the least views and is arguably the best song on her minialbum… a song that combines jazz, R&B, rock-blues stylings with 3 singers and a narrator. I’m thinking you’d like it
9:59 uuuuh did you do bts dynamite yet? Epic key change , maybe you could do bts tiny desk concert, dynamite is the opening song of it, but maybe you’ll need to blur the video out due to copyright
I've not done any full BTS group songs yet. Those will be coming soon! As for copyright, worst case on a reaction is that they block it completely (which has only happened to me once). Other than that, they'll just claim the ad revenue which is fine with me. I'm not in this for the cash flow.
I'm glad I kept coming back for your reactions. The tangents, Tannie or otherwise, are entertaining to me. You want key changes? You should check out Jungkook's modulation on For Youth from BTS Proof Live, a 3-song set. IU has another song with two key changes, Ending Scene (beeyoootiful btw) that Jungkook covered on Soundcloud. I just recently found out she was the original artist when she and V sang it on her show IU's Palette. I learned it by couch karaoke to Jungkook's cover. I am a potato and I enjoy learning to badly sing songs in Korean. See, my own tangent. But anyway no matter what you listen to by IU you will be blown away by her vocals every time. She has worked with Suga a few times, too. Keep having fun, man. I'm old enough to get your references plus a few years. 😂
I'm also happy you came back! I do have a bad habit of making tangents... it's the downfall of a mild case of ADHD. Thanks so much for this info! I can't wait to dig in deeper to so much of this music! I've got a LONG way to go!!!
Here is some extra info about the music video... Director Um Tae Hwa released a guide explaining the MV and gave 4 Key points.
First, the "cube" signified the discrimination and oppression that are prevalent in the daily lives of the main characters.
Second, the "camcorder" represents the "lens of love," an important "device" that allows us to look at the beautiful things in the world beyond the internal or external appearance of the characters.
Third, IU and BTS V became the main characters in a "survival story of a dystopian worldview of someone who cannot speak and sees the world only through his left eye." Despite the difficulty, feeling hurt and exhausted, they relied on each other despite "cube" and tried to overcome it in the end.
Fourth and last, the "wedding dress and tuxedo" symbolize the "fruit of love." At the end where they are seen rising in the air, it depicts that they are finally "free to fly away from all kinds of oppression and pressure."
Have a wonderful day💜
Ps.. BTS does have songs with key changes.... 😅you have soooo many songs still to hear.
Oh yeah, I’m still quite the noob and have a lot of work to do!!! Thank you so much for this info! I’ll be pinning ya!!! ✌️💜

@@ReactionsThatRock Hi the handsome actor in this MV is called Kim Taehyung. It's good that you don't even recognize him but still appreciate his amazing acting. But if you've listened to BTS and you didn't recognize V or Taehyung, you got to listen to Taehyung's solo songs Singularity, Stigma, his latest album named Layover which was chosen by Billboard as the 2nd best Kpop album in 2023. Give these R&B and jazz songs Love Me Again, Slow Dancing, Blue, For Us and Rainy Days in Layover a listen. This album is regarded as a not-to-be-missed by Army

IU is an amazig lyricist, but the best part is that she is even better in conveying emotions 😍😍😍
Agreed 💯!!!
I really love your honest reaction on this music video of 2 great actors/singers .
As a senior citizen, i never thought i'll get hooked on watching kdramas/listening to BTS & other Kpop groups. I spent my younger years collecting albums of hard rock (Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin,etc
Times changes with the modernized society..so let's enjoy n go with the flow.👍😁♥️
I’m not hooked yet (per se) but I’m getting there! Everything just keeps getting better and better! ✌️💜
IU is a very popular and beloved singer/actress in South Korea. I mainly know her from her dramas.
I cried when I first watched this MV (late January). The last of the guys had just enlisted over a month prior (early December), including V, and so seeing him again was emotional, not to mention the story itself tugged at your heartstrings. The guys left us so many gifts to keep us company while they are away. The next gift on the schedule is from J-hope, which will be a dance documentary "Hope on the Street" with an OST album (with a collab with Neil Rodgers) coming out in late March.
IU and V sound beautiful together too. They sang her song "Ending Scene", another beautiful piano ballad, when V was a guest on her talkshow "IU's Palette". They're close friends in real life.
IU and J-hope also sang together on her show, her song "Pierrot Laughs at Us" and his song "Equal Sign". Love both performances.
IU and Suga are great friends as well, and have two collaborations "eight" (where he featured, co-wrote, and produced) and "People Pt. 2" (a softer side of Agust D). Both songs have MVs, live performances, and both have won awards.
IU was a guest on Suga's talkshow too, called "Suchwita". Suga enlisted in September last year, but recorded a bunch of Suchwita episodes before enlisting, which were released slowly over several months. The last episode was posted just a couple of days ago on Monday 😭I miss them.
Double key change - Pentatonix's "Can You Feel the Love Tonight"
Ok… my biggest takeaway here is that I still have soooooooo much to see and listen to!!! Thank you so much for all of this info!!!
Also… my mom LOVES Pentatonix but I thought they just did Christmas stuff. I’ll have to check out that song… which sounds like something from the Lion King?!
@@ReactionsThatRock- Yep, it's a cover. They do a lot of other things other than Christmas music. Including a cover of "Bohemian Rhapsody"! Imagine, a rock song by an a capella group. But they did it justice.
Their Grammy-winning songs are incredible as well. "Daft Punk", "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy", and "Jolene" with Dolly Parton. When the Grammys changed their category just to give you a Grammy, you must be doing something right!
@@ReactionsThatRock I love Pentatonix. I went to their show in Prague last year. They have original music and definitely a lot of other covers that aren't Christmas music, but yeah, they're best known for the Christmas stuff. When you talked about double key change, my mind immediately went to them too. I was sure they did it, I just couldn't remember where and OP nailed it 😆
I like you and reiterate your thoughts on new western music (for the most part). I'm a 60's Boomer and proud, Silver ARMY. BTS had reinvigorated my love of music, and equally spurred a growth in my intellectual curiosity. It has opened me up to other cultures and had enriched my life in many untold ways.
I once asked my (Boomer) dad when he stopped listening to current music... he told me it was when he couldn't relate to it anymore. I never thought that would happen yet I found myself in a cycle of late 90's and early 2000's rock/pandora playlists. That's actually why I started this channel... to break out of my little musical cage!
Me too. I lost interest in music as I couldn't relate to it at all anymore except an occasional one. My daughter introduced me to BTS and I assumed they would be a Korean version of Back Street Boys. As a rock and metalhead I never thought I would like them. I was so very wrong. Each of their songs makes you learn something new, whether it be cultural, internal, self reflection, and so on. I have read books that have inspired their lyrics and thoughts, I am learning Korean, I am more thoughtful if others and I now work a lot harder. They are so inspirational and comforting. It is like gaining a wider family, having 7 more children that I am so proud of, and ARMY as a huge friendship/support group 💜
Per the video director, the main characters are disabled in some way- IU is either deaf or mute, V is blind in one eye. The boxes are symbolic of society attempting to place the disabled into boxes so to eliminate them from the world either by ignoring them or putting them into a place where they can't be seen.
Aaaaahhhhh! That totally makes sense (and also explains the dramatic tone change when shown through the camera).
I love it! Thank you!
As a Canadian born in the 60's I've had the pleasure of getting exposed to A LOT of music that would be on the radio (way back when) from all over. I remember 'Rock Me Amadeus' from FALCO. It was mostly in German but it was still a banger. I even remember seeing an mv and song from Epik High (a Korean group) back when it came out and thought it was really good. And these things were a part of our mainstream media.
It's easy for others to not realize how insulated the American Music market is and how little exposure they (Americans) get to music that is not fed to them from the American music industry.
There is so much good music in the world it just needs people to listen.
PS: The name of the cube is 'Nemo' and it represents the boxes that we try to put people into. Not just people with difficulties but people as a whole.
I love FALCO! In fact, I used to do ring announcing for smaller independent wrestling shows and would come to the ring to that very same song many MANY times!!!
You’re not wrong though. If it doesn’t come from Los Angeles, Nashville or New York, you likely won’t hear it on radio. 🥲
Great comment! I was also thinking of Falco, and then I recalled 99 Luftballons (99 Red Balloons) by Nena, as well! I hope you heard that one, too! 💜
@@lisasenglishconversationcl3582 Yup know that one too. I feel like the 80's was an era that had the most diversity in music.
@@lisasenglishconversationcl3582 I was born in ‘78! I know all the Euro classics that made it over here!!! 🤪
Bro, welcome to the world of IU.
Let me drop some knowledge:
Wrote these lyrics (and most of her songs)
Produced this mv
4 lead roles on Netflix rn (5th cominf soon)
2 songs with Suga (Eight and People Pt. 2)
*31 all time #1 singles on korean charts*
-Most all time by a longshot, including BTS at #2 all-time.
Only Korean on Rolling Sone's list of 200 greatest singers of all time.
Absolute legend in her industry.
Greatest soloist in Korean history
IU
Wow! I honestly had no idea! I know I was living in a bubble but has no clue how small that bubble was!!!
@ReactionsThatRock yeah she's a mega star but hasn't had much exposure over here until just recently.
Started the first leg of her world tour the other day and will be preforming in usa this summer for the first time ever.
I am so happy that you decided you would view this outstandingly done MV and hear this hauntingly beautiful song again since each time you watch, as well as by reading the comments, you will find something new to appreciate.
IU (outstanding actress as well as singer) and V were a perfect match for this MV.
IU's beautiful voice and composer and arranger for "Love Wins All", Seo Donghwan, have given IU and all of us a gift of ear candy (including a key change).
Me too! Not only was the video fantastic but the song was just incredible!💜🤩
Ah! Sorry! I didn't think to tell you how to pronounce Tannies when I commented it. >.< I take for granted that people don't just know how to say things. You're right, it's TAN-knees. It comes from the latter part of Bangtan. Which in English most pronounce how it's spelled. However in the Korean pronunciation, the B has a P sound. So it's like Pang-tan. The sound in Pang is closer to the sound of Pong (like ping-pong) than it is like bang. Sonyeondan is like so-nyun-dan, the dan sounds more like 'tan' than the hard "d" sound you'd expect and a long a like when you go to the dentist and say ahh. I don't know if I explained that well. I wish I could just say it out loud to you. lmao.
IU is a powerhouse. She's a national treasure in Korea. She has two collabs with Suga, Eight (on her album) and People pt.2 (On Suga's D-Day album- which is under Agust D) Suga, J-Hope and V have all been on IU's Palette, where they have an interview and preform together. I love all three of their episodes, it's really nice. If you're into shows and interviews, I recommend those episodes as well as Suchwita (Suga's show).
Awesome info!!! She was incredible in this too. Just amazing!
I also love that my Korean is getting better by the day!!! You explained it exceptionally well!!✌️💜
Hey DJ, cool reaction to IU.
Thank you very much !
Thanks you so much!!!
You are fun! I am a 53 yo Army. I was introduced to BTS during the pandemic and their music has brought me joy ever since. It is cool learning how they started and following them now. Unfortunately, I am pretty much alone as people I know, my age or older, won't give them a chance. You can love Five Finger Death Punch, The B 52's, Foo Fighters, and BTS. (My playlists are pretty wild) IU's voice is incredible. She is very well known and a terrific actress. That was V from BTS. He is an actor, too. Glad you appreciate the key change. You will find that in other songs, too. Keep enjoying! It is refreshing!
Thanks so much!!!
I’m honestly still blown away by how wrong I was with what I thought these guys were! Every song I’ve done has been a treat!
I'm a 50+ old new subscriber... just watched all of your BTS reactions plus this IU video. Since you like videos that tell a story, I can't wait for you to watch Spring Day, and then Spring Day Explained by Italian Army after you watch the official video... and see how far or close your impression is. Welcome to the BTS rabbit hole... enjoy the ride! 💜
I’ll check those out!!! 🤩💜
IU's (Lee Ji-eun) stage name stands for I and YOU become one through music. 🤗
Ahhh! I love that! 💜
mi unica cantate favorita coreana recien se abre y esta saliendo con su música fuera de corea este año con su nuevo álbum, espero que mucha gente conozca lo talentosa que es, estoy orgullosa de IU que alfin se puso el reto de salir fuera de corea T_T . no pierdo las esperanzas que algún dia se pase por latam
I’ve just found her and I’m amazed it took this long. She’s incredible! 🤩
This music video is amazing. The song is beautiful and the acting by V and Iu is incredible
Yes! Yes. And YES!!! ✌️💜
AMAZING IU 💜💜💜AMAZING V 💜💜💜💜 AMAZING SONG❤❤❤❤❤❤
😊✌️💜
Dude you are hilarious ! 😂 I subscribed after you tried to pronounce IU as a name 😂😂😂
Awe... thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words!
1. I absolutly love this song 2. the video is beautiful.....i haven't stoped watching this video, as a disabled person myself with a son that is also disabled, i absolutly love the symbolism.
another thing i find is that music in general, we tend to hear it on a different emotional level than just words. That's why we can appreciate and understand songs in different languages.
This was a great song/video. I need to go back and watch it now that I have the meaning in context!
Agreed about the emotional connection to music. I have a few friends that listen to “everything” and don’t seem connected to any of it.
I feel sad for them!
BTS’s biggest (and most boy-bandy pop) song, Dynamite has a famous and effective key change. But used to a totally different effect from this emotional song.
I’ll have to check that out (although I’ve been warned to avoid that as my first BTS song due to the poppy English sweetness of it all).
Dynamite is not a great Intro to BTS because it is not at all representative of their wider work, it’s true. I think Fake Love is probably a better intro. Or do On followed by Black Swan.
@@ReactionsThatRockDynamite is a great song but I think we warn people to avoid it at first because it plays into the boy band stereotype and newbies may think that’s all BTS has to offer.
You are definitely unique, no 2 reactors are the same - validation delivered 😂. Speaking of falling out of your chair, Jimin has a very interesting relationship with chairs 😂
Thanks!!! 😊
I also think I need to google “Jimin Chairs”. 😂😅
Thanks for this reaction! I love that you liked the song, even though it's not something you would normally listen to. And the video...it didn't make me cry the first time because I didn't understand it very well, but after reading about it and watching it a few more times, it makes me cry now each time I see it. They did such a great job acting. The behind-the-scenes video of them filming this video is good. As far as BTS songs to listen to, I'd go with Fake Love or On first. I'm excited to watch you discover their music.
Thanks so much!!! I can’t wait to watch it again now knowing what I know!
I appreciate the recommendations! There’s SOOOO much to get to!!!
It's ballad... But in her recent album "The winning". It consists of various type of song. Maybe you'll enjoy "Shh" in that album.
Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll check that out!
Great reaction! Amazing mv. Blessings
Thanks so much!!! Beautiful MV! ✌️💜
I didn't want to see reactions to this song because I'm very excited about the MV, but I had to see what you said. Thanks for your reaction 💜💜💜💜
I totally get that! Thanks for giving me a chance! ✌️😊💜
Just beautiful ❤❤❤❤
Sure is!!!
If you like songs that tell a story, I highly recommend I need U and Run, they are connected!!
I really appreciate these recommendations! I will definitely check them out!!!
@@ReactionsThatRock Maybe it's confusing at first, but the music videos are really telling a story. They were the beginning of something called "Bts Universe" or B.U, Each one there is a character. It's something that we still don't fully understand because there are so many parts, clips, music, comics/books and individual phrases, it's something really cool and complex ☺️💜
I hope you enjoy it and have fun trying to connect the two MVs 🤭
15:44 I can relate. In a way I can easier listen to music in a language I don’t understand because I can feel the emotions of the music better when I’m not distracted by listening to and understanding the words. Lyrics are important and the impact is great when I’m reading the subtitles later, but I feel the music better when music is not in German or English.
Don’t know if it’s making sense, but that’s how my brain works 😂
I'm right there with you. When the song is in English, I get so hung up on the lyrics that I can miss what the music itself is trying to tell me. This is one reason I secretly like opera music... I have no idea what's being said so the music MUST move me! :-)
I've been a big fan of IU for over ten years.
Thank you for your reaction.
I can highly recommend Dreamchatcher is the girls group of K-pop.
Their music is bassed on rock and EDM, Hip hop and different types of music mixed in there.
Dreamcatcher is very unique.
You will enjoy their music.
Ooh. I’ve heard the name before but had no real idea who they were or what they sing. I’ll be sure to check them out!!! 🤘💜
Talking about key changes, then you should really check this out (more along your style of music)

I listened to a live version of MDO not too long ago but I’ve been told I need to go much deeper in to the catalogue! I appreciate the links. Should make things much easier!!!
@@ReactionsThatRock Yes! I watched your reaction to MDO! I figured, since you've already heard one song of Lovebites and with your rock & metal background, you'd be open to checking out a couple of their songs that utilize key changes in it. 😃
Loved your reaction!!!! 💜👍🏼
Awe thank you so much!!!😊 💜
Oh boy if you want a key change, listen to Lie where the key change is representative of the lie.
Also thanks for reacting to this song, it's beautiful.
Added to the list! Thank you so much! I LOVE the use of music to tell the story!!! Key changes for the WIN!🥇
I love that you took the time to share with us your preconceptions about going on this journey into music outside of your preferred genre. I grew up in the States listening to pop, rock, metal, and grunge, but I sang jazz and classical. Often I sang in foreign languages like German, Italian, Latin, Hebrew, French, and even Russian. So the Korean language was not what I expected to have trouble absorbing. Anyway, I enjoyed you sharing how you've grown so far in the journey. 💜
Thanks so much for the kind words!!! I was in a kids choir when I was younger and we learned church songs in Latin and Christmas songs in just about every language there is but then I grew older, found a guitar and chased girls and all that intro to world music was gone in a flash.
Urgh… if only I’d known.
Thabks for being sincere. Btw it did hit you right when they were bring taken away...saw that😅
It sure did!!! Sincere is my goal… even if I end up being a little goofy or off-base due to a lack of editing. 🤪💜
I adore your reaction, I articulate so well how I feel about kpop as a metalhead/rocker.
You MUST check out Ateez if you haven't. They are kpop, but rocky and their albums are actually great concept albums. Happy to make recommendations for you!
Thank you so much!!! I’ve added Ateez to my list and will be sure to check them out! Thanks so much!!!
You may want to check out Lie by BTS. It’s a Jimin solo on a BTS album but the music will probably blow you away
Ooh! I appreciate that info! Added to my list!! Thanks! ✌️💜
BTS’s Dynamite has a great key change! It’s best to watch that song live on the Tiny Desk Concert. JK songs the key change, and it’s badass.
Added to the list!!! Thank you!!!
@@ReactionsThatRock Most audience chose the best Tiny Desk Concert is Taehyung or V's Tiny Desk Concert. 3 jazzy R&Bs are performed with his own band and received a lot of compliments. A number of rock or metal listeners love Taehyung's R&Bs. You got to give his Tiny Desk concert a listen. Also Taehyung has sung Ending Scene with IU in her program ''IU's Palette''. Their voices blended excellently together
BTS has key changes in a lot of their music. :) If you like strings and key changes, check out "Lie"; it's one of Jimin's solo songs within BTS.
Of course I like strings! I have two violins in my basement that I've never had time to learn how to play!!! haha.
I'll check it out! Thanks so much!
I came into BTS 2016-17. Back then, even earlier, there seemed like there was an epidemic of Videos that had girls in bikini's, twerking around the pool. Men with big chains & and magnums of champagne. The first few videos were fun to watch but then everyone was doing a variation on that video. BTS brought us in to film making and real story lines with their videos. I believe that BTS videos, helped to improve American videos and I say that because of what I've heard American celebrities say.
I honestly didn’t hate this videos but I know EXACTLY what you mean! They’re cheap to make and sex sells. Who needs a story or an artistic vision when thongs exist?!?
@@ReactionsThatRock LOL so true!
Well, hi from a chilean Army, musician, 54 yo mom. Dinamite has a Key change👍🏼

IU is a master at key changes, many of her songs have the key changes that you can’t imagine how they go together but she makes them work beautifully every time! IU her own genre since her songs are so diverse and she writes Manet of her songs and compose and produce som of the too! IU always comes out with completely different songs even within same album as you can see as this one does too. IU’s songs and MV’s have so many hidden meanings and they are like Easter eggs because you it’s fun to find those hidden meanings! IU started 5 years before BTS debuted and BTS is also so much like her and that’s why IU & BTS are two favorite artists!
That's exciting! In case you couldn't tell, I'm a HUGE fan of key changes when they serve the story. Country music does it a lot, but it often feels obligatory rather than purposeful and rock music rarely does it (and when they do, it's often sloppy). I'll still say Death Metal owns the key change game, but they also have likely the fewest people ever hearing it. :-)
Please react to IU new comeback MVs.
IU '홀씨(Holssi)' MV
IU 'Shopper' MV
IU 'Shh.. (Feat. HYEIN, 조원선 & Special Narr. 패티김)' MV
Thanks for the recommendations! I’m sure one or more WILL be happening! Thanks!!!
If you enjoy music with a story, and the likes to play around with key, You should check out some Red Velvet, one of the strongest vocal groups in the brief history of Kpop, especially their most recent music; Feel My Rhythm, Chill Kill, and Cosmic.
I don’t think anyone else has mentioned them yet! Definitely added to my list and I’ll be sure to check out one or more songs! Thanks!!! 😊
If you want a song with several key changes, check out Dimash "Opera 2."
Ooh. I’ll check that out!!!
Mmm, like I told you in the V slow Dancing MV.
There's a few songs of BTS that are ballads that I think that you can like but there are not MV, but there are "color Lyrics" MV for the songs.
It means that you can look who from BTS is singing and the live version.
The truth untold
00:00
House of Cards
Oh... I took a screenshot of that comment and added to my list!
I do like the idea of "color lyrics" too. Very smart thinking for whoever did that! I'll be checking these (and more) out in the days, weeks, months and years to come!
I'd love to see you react to Fri(end)s by V. The song itself is great (kinda poppy), but the video is just absolutely fantastic.
I’ll have to check it out! Thanks!!!😊
If you want a rock sound within K-pop, I recommend Dreamcatcher's PIRI. They have a sound that mixes K-pop and rock.
Awesome!!! I’ll check that out! Thanks!
I love the reaction!! I am a huge BTS fan and V is my bias 💜💚 I would LOVE to have you do a reaction to the entire BTS group and an amazing introduction into BTS (in my opinion respectively) is Mic Drop featuring Steve Aoki and also ON I hope to see your reaction and thoughts soon 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thanks so much!!! I’ve been debating which full group song to start with and both On and Mic Drop are near the top of the list. I guess we’ll see which way the count toss lands! 🤪✌️💜
The boxes remind me of the Borg (? I'm not a Trekkie). I don't know what the video director actually meant by them, however.
My dad LOVED Star Trek so I can easily recall the Borg! I’ve seen so many interpretations in these comments and they all seem to work! 🤷♂️
#keychange :)
Right?!?🤩
I was also in a musical rut where all i heard were songs about clubs with bottle service, violence and raunchy lyrics. Not for me. Enter in BTS with great beats, melodies and wait poetry? Thought provoking lyrics? Anthems to love myself? I’m home.
But... but... we were ALL in the club getting tipsy! Erryone! :-)
I honestly don't mind the themes and the raunch (although I wouldn't want my imaginary kids hearing it) but I'd found music went having something to say to being just part of a formula intended solely for radio play. They stopped making music for us and started making it for the advertisers. :-(
BTS has a whole different feel. It's like they are writing music for the sake of the music. It's quite refreshing!
Ah ervbody in the club getting tipsy was mild compared to others! A classic!
@@CenseaOT7 ain’t that the truth!
Just a heads up--lots of key changes in K-pop. Lots of surprises, period, as songs progress. And yes, it's part of what makes it so compelling to millions of fans.
That’s good to know. Seems only country and death metal do it in the states and it’s so predictable that it usually doesn’t move the song the way this did.
A favorite double key-change is this cover of another IU song, Dear Name, by the group SHINEE: ua-cam.com/video/F5YmLkh8nV4/v-deo.html
There’s a double key change?!? Oooh! Added to the list for sure! Thanks!!!
ARMYs asked you to watch this bec V from BTS is the actor here. You reacted to his song 'Slow Dancing" days ago.
I caught that. I was trying real hard to barely mention it as I wanted to ensure that IU was the star of this reaction. Great song!!! ✌️💜
@@ReactionsThatRockit’s okay to mention him. After all, they were such a powerful acting duo in this. Blew me away!
Hi! I'm really happy you're enjoying these new songs. Changing the locks is a thing? Don't know that I've ever done that😅 (Is BTS MMA 2019 on the list?) Thanks again for the reactions 🤘💜
I may or may not have a real estate license or two in “real life”.
I’d always recommend changing the locks. You don’t know what the old owner still has!
Also, as a kid, my brother used to give a key to his girlfriends. All of them. It never ended well! 😂🤣
As for BTS MMA 2019… it is now!
@@ReactionsThatRock I'm sure that others will tell you but MMA stands for Melon Music Awards. And in 2019, BTS basically turned their segment into their own concert. I became an ARMY shortly after that performance and was tempted to watch it right away as a baby ARMY but I really wanted to know the music before seeing all of those songs performed live in such an epic way. They did 5 full songs and like 7 song snippets. When I finally did watch it, I was so glad I had waited. (Ditto with the MV for We Are Bulletproof: The Eternal which I saved for my 1st ARMYversary and was glad because I understood all the references!) But this is your channel so you do what you want! Really enjoying your reactions and the care and respect you take in doing them. Borahae! 💜
What you had before was xenophobia, the fear or apprehension of touching into something of a foreign language. Thank you for opening up and overcoming this. Still so many people are playing into the narrative that they will not enjoy music from a different language.
I heard this from a reactor previously about ballads. Many people hate ballads because of the emotionality of the song. I admit their are some that goes over the top that it makes you cringe. But ballads is where you can truly showcase a singer's vocal abilities. There is no hiding from it, if you use autotune, it will be very obvious. With other genres, like pop, rock, hiphop, you can hide those vocal inabilities with catchy beats and loud music, but not in ballads. You have to have an above average vocal ability to truly shine in a ballad. The only genre I can think of where you cannot run from bad vocals is opera lol.
I honestly don’t dislike ballads… in fact, rock has many MANY ballads that are phenomenal (from Journey, to Meat Loaf, to Maiden and even G&R). They are emotional though and it takes a special singer to pull them off! Much easier to hide average singling behind a crunch guitar and a few screaming lyrics!
As for xenophobia, I wouldn’t take it that far. There was no dislike or cultural distaste, it was really more of an ignorance to what existed outside the mainstream spoon-fed media.
It’s like going to a buffet knowing you LOVE the chicken so you simply never try the fish. 🐠 ✌️

Well that hits home! Thanks for the info!
IU shh please
On it!!! Thx!
This latest release on MV has the least views and is arguably the best song on her minialbum… a song that combines jazz, R&B, rock-blues stylings with 3 singers and a narrator. I’m thinking you’d like it
@@MC_Rohr sounds like something I’d dig! I’ll check it out thanks!
9:59 uuuuh did you do bts dynamite yet? Epic key change , maybe you could do bts tiny desk concert, dynamite is the opening song of it, but maybe you’ll need to blur the video out due to copyright
I've not done any full BTS group songs yet. Those will be coming soon! As for copyright, worst case on a reaction is that they block it completely (which has only happened to me once). Other than that, they'll just claim the ad revenue which is fine with me. I'm not in this for the cash flow.
If you want an epic key change check out Jimin's solo BTS song Lie from their album Wings. Talk about key change!!!
Oooh! Notes taken!!! Thanks!😊
@@ReactionsThatRock Please also react to Taehyung aka V's Stigma and Love Me Again to discover his key change. You'll fall in love
I'm glad I kept coming back for your reactions. The tangents, Tannie or otherwise, are entertaining to me. You want key changes? You should check out Jungkook's modulation on For Youth from BTS Proof Live, a 3-song set. IU has another song with two key changes, Ending Scene (beeyoootiful btw) that Jungkook covered on Soundcloud. I just recently found out she was the original artist when she and V sang it on her show IU's Palette. I learned it by couch karaoke to Jungkook's cover. I am a potato and I enjoy learning to badly sing songs in Korean. See, my own tangent. But anyway no matter what you listen to by IU you will be blown away by her vocals every time. She has worked with Suga a few times, too. Keep having fun, man. I'm old enough to get your references plus a few years. 😂
Taehyung aka V has done marvelous key change in Stigma, Love Me Again. I guess this DJ would love it. Tae has such a wide vocal range
I'm also happy you came back! I do have a bad habit of making tangents... it's the downfall of a mild case of ADHD.
Thanks so much for this info! I can't wait to dig in deeper to so much of this music! I've got a LONG way to go!!!
