The guy you first identified as "Suga" is actually j-hope. Rapper, main dancer, Dance and Performance Leader, sub-vocalist, writer, producer, jack of all trades, our Golden Hyung and the human embodiment of Hope and Sunshine.
also known as my ultimate bias, Hobi. 😂 (although I also have a soft spot for Jin and RM, and, in fact, just truly love all seven. as V once said, you gotta love all seven, BTS is seven. 💜)
@@BetterGreta13, how different our stories are. when I first got to BTS it took me a few months to realize Hobi was actually my bias, as I remember, each one of them was my bias for at least a few days, or weeks, until I got to the Sunshine... then it never changed again. (my soft spot for Jin came a bit after that and now I'm used to say he's my eternal wrecker. RM is right after him.)
@@camilathee I love hearing everyone's story of their BTS bias! Yes, I loved Hobi from the beginning, but RM was and is my very strong bias wrecker. Lately, though, Tae is gaining serious ground with me. No one can overcome my love for Hobi, but as he gets older, Tae is becoming not only more gorgeous, but funnier and much more interesting! Of course...as we say...I love them all!!!!
And 4:16 was jungkook… main vocalist, sub rapper, lead dancer and “center” of bts performances, writer, producer , composer and directed “life goes on” music video … called the golden maknae bc he’s literally good at everything lol Jhope and jk are the only two sub something that isn’t their “main” position…. I love this about both of them and really LOVE when we get them singing or rap harmonizing together!!!! I duno I love how they sound together and their part in outro wings…. Ugh it gives me life and so many other times they are together… golden brothers man… I love!
They talked about ON being something that they had big plans for at concerts that they didn't get a chance to do because of COVID but we say it many times at award shows where they did it on a big field with flyers and a marching band and we got a lot of epic performances at it. They performed it on Jimmy Fallon too and they shut down Ground Central Station to do it live there. Truly legendary.
Tae was all in white, Jungkook had the white top and black pants and he was barefoot along with Jimin, who yes was killing it without footwear. Hard on the feet that had to be. They were performing ON at Grand Central Station in NY on the Jimmy Fallon show. They were rehearsing at a location where the Grammys would be held since they were to attend the grammy and perform "Ole Town Road" (remixed w/ RM and Lil Nas X) on a compilation stage with Lil Nas X and others.
"ON" according to the group is a reflection of the group's 2013 single, "N.O" an intense song that detailed the asphyxiating pressure of the korean society puts on young people to excel. While BTS are now in their 20s and no longer necessarily feeling the weight of academic pressure or that of the adults in charge on their shoulders, they describe a foe that, in many ways, is much more threatening : themselves. In these first lines of "ON" the group acknowledges being wrapped up in the glamour of waking up "in Seoul, or New York or Paris" and that with every leap they take to rise higher in recognition, the demons follow ("When I lift one foot, the shadow grows one step larger"). Fans might recall a poem Suga wrote in a 2018 episode of Run BTS, that reads: "It is true that the more light that burns upon us, the more shadows appear." The "shadow" is a direct reference to the Jungian psychoanalytic idea that the human mind is made up of major archetypes that make up one's personality: persona, shadow, ego, and self. Rapper Suga divulged his fears as he faces the perils of fame in "Interlude: Shadow," which begins the series of new songs on MOTS7. “I’m afraid, flying high is terrifying, he raps. "No one told me how lonely it is up here” RM continues with the same fears in the lyrics to "ON". "Look at my feet, look down / This shadow that resembles me / Is the thing swaying in fact this guy / Or is it the end of my toes / There’s no way it’s not scary / There’s no way everything’s okay". With the last line, RM echoes a sentiment he's expressed publicly before - that instead of ignoring or running away from the challenges they face, they must learn to live with them ("Together with that black wind, I fly"). ‘There’s no getting over the hardships, we have to be friends with the shadows’. They’ve talked so much about the intrinsic bond between the shadow and the person and the symbiosis of learning to live harmoniously as one. But this single is far from an admission of defeat : identifying your fears makes you stronger, not weaker. With the pre-chorus and the chorus, BTS begin their battle cry, singing, "Can’t hold me down cuz you know I’m a fighter". There's an admission that while BTS reckon with the dark side of their "beautiful prison", they chose to walk this path. In their 2013 debut single, "No More Dream" Suga rapped that he wanted a "big house, big cars, and big rings". In "N.O" BTS asks, "A nice house, a nice car - could such things bring happiness?". Seven years later, their answer is complicated. But even when their happiness is threatened, they soldier on, singing, "If you don’t want to be driven insane, you’ve got to be insane / I throw all of myself into this two-sided world [...] You can’t hold me down cuz you know I’m a fighter". Why carry on when doing so "brings the pain". In fact, the pain almost proved to be too much. In their acceptance speech at the 2018 MAMA, BTS revealed that the group had talked about disbanding after they had "suffered a lot". But with MOTS7's second release, "Black Swan" the group made it clear that it is their passion for making art that keeps them going. They said as much with the opening quote of the music video by the late dancer Martha Graham: “A dancer dies twice - once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful”. "(Eh-oh) Bring it on, bring the pain oh yeah / (Eh-oh) / Come on up, bring the pain oh yeah / Rain be pourin’ / Sky keep fallin’ / Everyday oh na na na / (Eh-oh) / Bring it on, bring the pain oh yeah". Map of the Soul: 7 is essentially an ode to the things that have made BTS who they are over the past seven years - which also are the reasons why, despite any hardship, they keep going “on & on & on & on”. In the Persona first-half of the album, BTS showed their appreciation for the little things that make them happy, and essentially wrote a love-letter to ARMY, their dearest support system. And in the second half, BTS give thanks to their strong friendships, years of hard work as trainees and rookies, enduring passion for the lifeblood that is music, and yes - even the haters, too. "Even if I fall, I rise again, scream / For we’ve always done so / Even if my knees reach the floor, / as long as I’m not buried, / it’ll just be another thing of the past". "ON" is BTS most passionate, striking rallying cry yet, and tells you much of what you need to know to understand BTS current ethos. "Even if I fall, I rise again. For we’ve always done so."
Nope this is just the original choreo for this song. So they performed like this for the music shows. When they performed it for award shows, it was even crazier Also, the person who had the vocal breakdown was jungkook(he is the main vocalist)
I have learned that to fully appreciate any BTS , you actually have to watch the video three times- first is with the captions on to understand the lyrics, second is to be mesmerize by the choreography and the last one is to immerse yourself in the magnificent performance which is magic in itself.
I’ve always thought that Jimin and Jungkook ( V was the one in the overalls who you identified correctly in the mv actually💜) were barefoot because they were practicing for another song called Black Swan at the same time ( that song required all the members to be barefoot because it has a contemporary feeling and the first time they performed it live they did it barefoot )…. Always figured they did the black Swan practice and then Jimin and JK just stayed barefoot for this😂 And they fully did just decide to go this hard for their comeback…it wasn’t for a special performance or anything since they performed it in full most of the time ( with the exception of comeback shows where they cut out the dance break in the middle)
until you've seen them do this in concert, you can't fully appreciate what and who they are. That dancing and sing live with hot mics, let me tell ya, your jaw will drop and like the rest of us you will be asking, " HOW?"
1. seeing someone who enjoys music/dancing/choreography watching "ON - Kinetic Manifesto" for the first time never fails to put a smile on my face 2. it's always curious/kinda funny to see someone (specially non asian people, like you and me) trying to identify the members when they are getting to know the group (in the first days/weeks I used to see 1 RM, 1 J-Hope, 1 V and 4 Jungkooks, or 4 Jins, depending on the day. lmao but I've seen many armys saying they used to make the same mistakes that you did, as for j-hope/suga and v/jungkook)
Haha! i think what caught me off guard is I didn’t expect J-Hope to rap and RM has a very unique look about him so my mind immediately thought it was Suga lol! This will be a fun ride!🤗💙
It's actually nice to be barefooted when dancing. As a dancer myself, I always took off my shoes and danced in only socks or barefooted because honestly, I think it gives me a better grip when dancing? Idk how to explain it lol
This was filmed on a damn in LA. The guy you first identified as Suga was JHope. Then Suga took over. Both rap. The choreographer was the girl the video started with. You’re doing a good job getting the guys, though. Everyone has trouble at first. Hair colors change, never get a really good look as they are always moving. The major solo singer is JK, Jungkook. He is also the big dancer in front.
This was a preview for the actual music video, which there is one as a follow up to the Manifesto. The scale of this is nuts but they love big scale stuff, no expense spared to make their vision (Fake Love video was not CGI for example it was a crazy set they built). They planned to perform this live like this (and did on Tonight Show using Grand Central station for a one take of it, while singing which is extra nuts). Another great reaction thanks!
This song is “EPIC” just like you said indeed. Seeing many Kpop songs/MVs reactions, I am surprised that you have not watched a lot of or into BTS. There are reasons why they are the biggest group in the world. Besides their positive music, their background and back stories are unique and different than other idol groups. They captured people’s heart 💜 Hope you dig into them and learn about them more 💜
Somebody else mentioned Sienna Lalau - she was not only a dancer with her dance group The Lab but also the choreographer - you kept coming back to that. She is the very first dancer you see in the MV and can be seen in the dance practice with hair that is red at the ends. She's amazing. Imagine having do do this choreo AND sing at the same time!
Yees, thanks for the reaction to bts! Of course, bts can be safely called the pinnacle of all kpop. It's no secret that they are very talented, they put a lot into what they now have. Each of their videos, each dance practice, each performance - all this is done at the highest level. Therefore, I am sure that every time you react to something from bts art, you will be deeply shocked. To get to know them better and know more about them, see the guide to bts (2021edition); this will help you to better perceive them and their work while further watching their clips and other activities related to them. More bts please, I will really wait for your further reactions to bts 😌💞
This is my fav MV by BTS: excellent styling, choreography, brilliant location and of course the LAU marching band... epic! The choreography was Siena Lau (who just did Run BTS choreo recently for them again, she was only 19 at this point, GREAT JOB !
Just started watching your videos. A multi-stan but literally loving this bts journey and am so excited to watch other videos. You are so lovely. Thank you so much for reacting. Subscribed!
This whole album Map of the Soul 7 was amazing, it had been 7 years and 7 members. So this album was really special for them, if only COVID didn’t happen Map of the Soul 7 would have been bigger than it already is.
Nice reaction as always. At 2:45 that was Jhope. This was shot in La at the Sepulveda Dam. The girl in the center at the start is Sienna Lalau, she was 19 at the time. Also they used UCLA marching band and an gospel choir for this song. You can see more on how the song was made in Bts On Commentary Film: Dialogue.
I’ve been binge watching your videos for the past hour now (already subbed btw!) and I’m so happy that you’ll be getting into BTS more as they are my ultimate group💜, I recommend Black swan, Spring day, Airplane pt 2, and Dynamite just too see a bit of there diversity😊
Hi, again. Good reaction, ty. BTS have a choreographer, his name is Son Sung Deuk. Of course each song has different choreographers. ON and Dionysus for example, was choreographed by a 19 year old girl, Sierra Lalau. from The Lab a dance crew from LA. They won World of Dance and are backup dancers for BTS sometimes. But Sung Deuk is always with them. He even acts as one of the dance crew sometimes =0p He´s really cool. They do help add things to the choreography sometimes too, especially Hobi and Jimin and later on JK and V. =0) This is my fav MV. The cinematography is awesome. Loved that they used drones for the shots. They did perform this in concert. In LA, Korea and LV. We love this song and choreo. BTS are unique because they use real instruments and bands often in their songs. There is actually a small documentary behind the scenes about this song. Hope u check it out. This song has 2 MVs. This one is the dance heavy one. The original u should watch too. It's like a movie. The dance practice was for an award show. But this song performance fits the lyrics. U should watch and and read the lyrics on go to doolset doolsetbangtan.wordpress.com/?s=kinetic . U can read any Korean song lyrics on there. Jimin and JK are barefoot yep. Good spot. The barefoot thing is used in contemporary dancing. U get grounded better. Jimin was a contemporary dancer before joining BTS. And JK learned this type of dance from Jimin and their choreographer of Black Swan. JK loves to dance too. =0} Hugs. Later's. #YouAreEnough -NY USA 2019 Army💜
I'm just repeating a previous comment but you really should check out their performance of "ON' in Grand Central Terminal, from the Tonight Show. Jimmy Fallon and BTS are buddies, and he has done his part promoting them in the US. There is a behind the scenes for it as well, to give you some insight into the guy's personalities.
Life goes on and black swan are amazing, you should check those out if you haven’t seen them yet and all of their dance practices are chefs kiss. You honestly can’t go wrong when looking at their content 🤷🏽♀️
I thought he liked v so I thought he knew who he was lol hard to see in the dance practice but he’s the one on bandana and baggy pants… t is jungkook and jimin who are barefoot lol they’ve both been doing it more over the last couple years… but they’re also known to be the ones that go the hardest when it comes to dancing…. Especially jungkook… he is so strong and does everything with so much power… vocal stability is one of the reasons he’s the main vocalist, jimin has contemporary training and it looks like this may have been filmed when they did the black swan dance practice maybe…. Where the whole group is barefoot… so they may have just wanted to build more stregth bc it’s much harder to dance barefoot than with shoes and bts performs black swan barefoot… but yeh jimin is a super fluid dancer who is so precise that it’s crazy… the one you thought was suga is actually jhope…. Main dancer, rapper, dance leader and loving breathing sunshine…. Yes our hope, he’s your hope… he’s Jhope and definitely is someone who will wreck your shit live… turns into a whole different person live…. I remember the first time it happened to me… there I was just quietly enjoying my ult bias jungkook being powerful and gorgeous and sounding like a griffin Angel… and then BAM Jhope rudely wrecked the shit out of me in the “no more dream” dance break 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 if you haven’t watched that mv and seen that live…. I’d suggest you check that out lol I date anybody to come out of that video not being wrecked by him…. You will never forget his name again.. that’s a promise!!! Lol good luck checking them out!!!
The dance practice is the version done at live shows so a bit different than the On: Kenetic Manifesto version. Also they change hair colors and cuts ALOT....
Random recommendation unrelated to BTS... There is a somewhat recent mv by a group called OnlyOneOf that you might really enjoy, it's called LibidO... and it's concept can only be described as ✨homoerotic✨. 😬 The performance video (guilty pleasure ver) is reaaaaally good too. I tell ya, for a 'conservative' country that has not embraced the LGBTQ+ community, they sure do love their subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) homoerotic undertones. 😄😄😄 Like, they never fully show same sex couples kissing, but they love alluding to it. Seori's Lovers In The Night and Irene & Seulgi's Monster come to mind. Ok, imma stop rambling now... ✌
I was going to comment what Sierra commented (below)...I got the impression they were all hyped up about getting to perform "On" at their upcoming concerts in 2020 but were very disappointed they couldn't due to Covid. Also the rapper you originally mistook for Suga was J-Hope. Suga was the rapper right after J-Hope. LOL **Also here is the link to the official mv for "On"...ua-cam.com/video/mPVDGOVjRQ0/v-deo.html
Hey the member u kept sayin that was V , it was not V it was JK... The member who had I believe the color was blue with the baggy sweats on and also had his hair in a bun like Jimin that was V

I’ve been binge watching your videos for the past hour now (already subbed btw!) and I’m so happy that you’ll be getting into BTS more as they are my ultimate group💜, I recommend Black swan, Spring day, Airplane pt 2, and Dynamite just too see a bit of there diversity😊
Aww, haha, thanks so much!! I’m glad you’re enjoying the content🤗🤗 I’m excited to check out more from them as well🤗💙
Hi, again. Good reaction, ty. BTS have a choreographer, his name is Son Sung Deuk. Of course each song has different choreographers. ON and Dionysus for example, was choreographed by a 19 year old girl, Sierra Lalau. from The Lab a dance crew from LA. They won World of Dance and are backup dancers for BTS sometimes. But Sung Deuk is always with them. He even acts as one of the dance crew sometimes =0p He´s really cool. They do help add things to the choreography sometimes too, especially Hobi and Jimin and later on JK and V. =0) This is my fav MV. The cinematography is awesome. Loved that they used drones for the shots. They did perform this in concert. In LA, Korea and LV. We love this song and choreo. BTS are unique because they use real instruments and bands often in their songs. There is actually a small documentary behind the scenes about this song. Hope u check it out. This song has 2 MVs. This one is the dance heavy one. The original u should watch too. It's like a movie. The dance practice was for an award show. But this song performance fits the lyrics. U should watch and and read the lyrics on go to doolset doolsetbangtan.wordpress.com/?s=kinetic . U can read any Korean song lyrics on there. Jimin and JK are barefoot yep. Good spot. The barefoot thing is used in contemporary dancing. U get grounded better. Jimin was a contemporary dancer before joining BTS. And JK learned this type of dance from Jimin and their choreographer of Black Swan. JK loves to dance too. =0} Hugs. Later's. #YouAreEnough -NY USA 2019 Army💜
I'm just repeating a previous comment but you really should check out their performance of "ON' in Grand Central Terminal, from the Tonight Show. Jimmy Fallon and BTS are buddies, and he has done his part promoting them in the US. There is a behind the scenes for it as well, to give you some insight into the guy's personalities.
Life goes on and black swan are amazing, you should check those out if you haven’t seen them yet and all of their dance practices are chefs kiss. You honestly can’t go wrong when looking at their content 🤷🏽♀️
I definitely haven’t seen them so i will add them to my list!🤗💙
They danced barefooted for the dance and practice for Black Swan too!
Did you watch their O.N. performance in Grand Central Station? Watch Jimmy Fallon's behind the scenes. Pretty cool.
Jungkook was the other barefoot person who sings the amazing bridge. 😍
Backup dancers are The Lab Studio from LA.
I thought he liked v so I thought he knew who he was lol hard to see in the dance practice but he’s the one on bandana and baggy pants… t is jungkook and jimin who are barefoot lol they’ve both been doing it more over the last couple years… but they’re also known to be the ones that go the hardest when it comes to dancing…. Especially jungkook… he is so strong and does everything with so much power… vocal stability is one of the reasons he’s the main vocalist, jimin has contemporary training and it looks like this may have been filmed when they did the black swan dance practice maybe…. Where the whole group is barefoot… so they may have just wanted to build more stregth bc it’s much harder to dance barefoot than with shoes and bts performs black swan barefoot… but yeh jimin is a super fluid dancer who is so precise that it’s crazy… the one you thought was suga is actually jhope…. Main dancer, rapper, dance leader and loving breathing sunshine…. Yes our hope, he’s your hope… he’s Jhope and definitely is someone who will wreck your shit live… turns into a whole different person live…. I remember the first time it happened to me… there I was just quietly enjoying my ult bias jungkook being powerful and gorgeous and sounding like a griffin Angel… and then BAM Jhope rudely wrecked the shit out of me in the “no more dream” dance break 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 if you haven’t watched that mv and seen that live…. I’d suggest you check that out lol I date anybody to come out of that video not being wrecked by him…. You will never forget his name again.. that’s a promise!!! Lol good luck checking them out!!!
Yeeeeees moor please this is fireee woooooooww i loove it please reaction to so what live 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
"Alright, Jimin, cut it out." 😂
The young lady who choreographed this was only 19-20 years old. Sienna Lalau
That’s really impressive
The dance practice is the version done at live shows so a bit different than the On: Kenetic Manifesto version. Also they change hair colors and cuts ALOT....
Haha, I’ve started to notice that as well
Great reaction as always :) 2:43 actually that's J Hope, 2:56 that's Suga :)
BTS MAMA 2018 is great too
Random recommendation unrelated to BTS...
There is a somewhat recent mv by a group called OnlyOneOf that you might really enjoy, it's called LibidO... and it's concept can only be described as ✨homoerotic✨. 😬 The performance video (guilty pleasure ver) is reaaaaally good too.
I tell ya, for a 'conservative' country that has not embraced the LGBTQ+ community, they sure do love their subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) homoerotic undertones. 😄😄😄 Like, they never fully show same sex couples kissing, but they love alluding to it. Seori's Lovers In The Night and Irene & Seulgi's Monster come to mind.
Ok, imma stop rambling now... ✌
I agree and I’ve actually seen the LibidO MV, went down their rabbit hole, and currently stan OnlyOneOf, haha! I love them!
Nice Reaction. For future reference with subtitles, you should raise the viewing screen higher because the subs are being cut off. Thanx.
I’ve noticed this too actually, however, I’m not sure how to fix that because that’s how it shows up after screen capture, but I’ll see what I can do.
I was going to comment what Sierra commented (below)...I got the impression they were all hyped up about getting to perform "On" at their upcoming concerts in 2020 but were very disappointed they couldn't due to Covid. Also the rapper you originally mistook for Suga was J-Hope. Suga was the rapper right after J-Hope. LOL
**Also here is the link to the official mv for "On"...ua-cam.com/video/mPVDGOVjRQ0/v-deo.html
Jimin really is just disrespectful 😭 running his hand down his tiny little body like that!
Can you please react to something else from Stray Kids 🙏
Yes I can! 🤗💙
❤
Hey the member u kept sayin that was V , it was not V it was JK... The member who had I believe the color was blue with the baggy sweats on and also had his hair in a bun like Jimin that was V
First you said that was suga that’s jhope and after jhope who was rapping is suga
But this is not the mv.. MV is diff..do watch the mv..its cinema level.. This is the kinetic manifesto version..
Ahh I didn’t know that or what Kinetic Manifesto was actually. Thanks for letting me know there is an actual MV 🤗
Please react to bts Festa 2021 Room live
I’ll add it to my list😊
Watch BTS MAMA 2019
Not Suga, it’s Jhope
