It’s also just awesome in the sense that when he adds them... it validates that while he’s editing, he takes the time to still pay attention and catches even more details than he could get on the first watch! We all love genuine reactions, but genuine, informative AND detail oriented?? ARMY’s dream reactor 😂💜
HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I PROMISE - I hear you on the "Life Goes On" and "Daechwita" reactions. They're gonna happen. They'll be surprises. Also, I watched all the documentaries and the Italian explanation for Spring Day and... ugh. That is such an awful, terrible disaster. I spent all day Monday researching it. So beyond sad. Thank you for educating me on that. I hope you've all loved the new BTS music and I hope all of you are having lovely days. This is my first Thanksgiving spent not with my family, due to COVID, so it's a bit of a weird time for me. Glad I got to find some joy in these videos. Hope you enjoy my reaction! Hope to see some of you over on Patreon, but if not, I'll see you next week here on UA-cam :D
I’ve really enjoyed your reaction videos & I can’t wait for your next one! I’m so sorry that you’re unable to get back to your family to celebrate Thanksgiving. I pray that you and your family continue to be safe and healthy. 💜
@@JC-fw9bg Much appreciated, thank you 🙏🏼 we’ll have to see how Christmas is looking but obviously, health and safety are paramount for all of us! But seriously - thank you.
It is so hard to look away from Jimin! I will watch the practices multiple times to try & focus on each member but at some point I always realize I’m focusing on Jimin again! They are all very good dancers but Jimin & Hobi have definitive styles to their dancing that make them extra special.
masks part is included in the Extended version. it also has some new shots and different musical arrangement also Fake Love Official Teaser 1 is super interesting, but more for BU :)
I know you've done black swan but I think you should do "Jimin's black swan solo behind the scenes" it's an amazing solo that shows his contemporary training, and correct me if i'm wrong but you haven't seen it yet.
I usually have to watch a dance practice video twice in a row because I always find myself only looking at Jimin 😂😭 His dancing is so interesting, it’s like he tells a story with his body.
I really like how you videos has many layers. The video analyzed, the reaction and comments, the edit improving the narrative and the subtitles pointing things out and making fun of, like a friend watching the video with me. I've found myself giggling and smirking while learning a lot about filmmaking. You are really great!
I thought this is another youtube channel that only uses Bts to become famous and attract viewers, but I was wrong, I actually learned a lot here on this channel, I really like how you analyzed the videos and your comments was very detailed, the reaction ,the editing are funny too,and also I learn a lot about filmaking. Keep it up bro 👍
Self critical commentaries show how detail oriented you are. You already give so much attention to the camera and your reactions so you don't have to be so apologetic. Even though it's not the quality you wish you achieved, I think everyone is happy just to get a new video. No one is perfect, your effort and love is acknowledged.
1500: Cedric “You can hear them breathe. It’s a hard dance.” Jimin said in one of their interviews that Fake Love is one of the hardest dance and almost wipes him out.
Can you react Not Today ? The MV is kinda like movie, some reactor said It's the Matrix 😁..they shoot in steep cliffs and the weather so cold, you can check behind the scene too
The sculpture at the back actually depicts the hands referencing the saying “See no evil, speak no evil and hear no evil.” You will see that saying also reflected in the choreography.
Thank you for this reaction. BTS dancing is on another level. You will see when you watch older dance rehearsals. The foot work, synchronisation and transitions are top notch. And just like their music, they blend different dance styles effortlesly to tell a story and convey a message. Maybe there are a few gestures or moves reoccuring but none of their dances are the same. Even the easiest ones will have intricate parts making them seem more difficult. As for Jimin...they all are awesome dancers but there is something about Jimin dancing that pulls you in. And your eyes keep following him. That's why I watch these rehearsals several times 😂 and the dancer in Jimin is always there at any given moment. It shows in his stance, his moves, his posture. Having done ballet myself I saw that right away. Even in this you can see him in first position several times. 😊
As always your attention to detail is refreshing and your videos are fantastic watches. "I find it really hard to look away from Jimin". That's okay Cedric... the first step is admittance. Don't fight it. 😂😂
I'm glad you enjoyed the dance practice as well. They call it "practice" but most of the time they only post it once they've perfected the choreo or are close to it. As a treat, they might post one in halloween costumes and/or goof around a bit. It's less common to see more of the progress while they're learning the choreo and discussing parts/sequences as they go along. A good example is their Festa Prom Party video where 2 members learn a choreo for an MJ tribute. Later in the video, they perform (dance) MJ's Black or White to ARMY for the group's anniversary.
Editing Cedric is a savage genius and I love it (also, sneaking that Snickers motto in like that? 10/10). "I find it hard to look away from Jimin." We like to say that once you Jim-in, you can't Jim-out. He has inexplicable charm that just attracts people to him - it's called the Jimin Effect. You mentioned it in passing, but didn't note this particular detail; the poses they strike during the chorus each time they repeat "fake love" are actually them covering their eyes, ears, mouth, in reference to the Three Wise Monkeys proverb.
You made the remark that it had only been two weeks since you started watching BTS but seemed so much longer. There other reactors that have said the same. (Both DTParker & MrSammyCam made videos of looking back and laughing at their own naivety which are fun to watch). I think it is because once you discover how much they have done, their diversity of songs, and ARMY, there’s no going back. 😃
I'm not a UA-cam person but I go to UA-cam every day just to wait for you to put out a new reaction video. your reaction was really good. I can't wait to see it!!! 😆😆
This is going to sound strange, but, since I know you are a believer, I would like to ask for your prayers. My brother is getting a liver and kidney transplant today after 7 years of waiting! Please pray for him and for the donor's family. We will never get to thank them for this most precious gift, so prayers of comfort are all we can give them. Thank you for sharing your light in such a dark time.
You are officially my favorite reactor to BTS. I look forward to each and every reaction, and you never disappoint. You not only appreciate their talent, but I learn a lot from you and I love that. I am enjoying your journey through their discography/videography. For dance, I suggest "Dope" and "No More Dream," then "Fire" too, and "Idol" and "Dionysys". For the overall performance, I know that the MMA and MAMA 2019 performances will blow you away, but I think you should work your way through more of their songs/videos first, and don't break out any of the songs to watch them separately (someone gave you a link below) - those performances should not be dissected or reduced to anything but the absolute world-class, nothing tops them, all hail BTS performances that they are as a whole. Part of the wonder is that they are 30-40 performances of multiple songs - for an AWARDS SHOW. There have been SO MANY "Dynamite" performances, but the one this week on The Late Late Show with James Corden was...well, it was mind-blowing. Even the Exec Producer from the show (Ben Winston) tweeted and Instagrammed about how they were blown away with what BTS did for the show. Look for the video that combines both songs that they did into one video - "Life Goes On" followed by "Dynamite". Also, I know you said you were putting off reacting to BE until you'd seen their older stuff, but I do think you could react to BE at any time, since I don't think it's so much tied to the BTS Universe and is more of a gift to ARMY because of the pandemic (and a source of catharsis for the members, too, if you ask me). "BE" has a song on it called "Blue & Grey" - originally written by V for his mixtape, but he offered it up as a song for "BE" instead. Because of your respect/empathy/sympathy for those going through a hard time, experiencing depression, I think you will be really touched by that song. Because of your high degree of emotional intelligence, I think you will actually deeply appreciate that entire album. Thank you for such really terrific reactions and for the respect you show BTS with every video. As Jimin would say: "Cedric, you're nice. Keep going." And we purple you, too.
Many of their routines are so athletic that heavy breathing is almost inevitable. Typically song sets are not overly lengthy designed to allow them to recover, often with oxygen available immediately, as well as time to change costuming. The beauty of BTS is that these dance practices allow you to see how crisp and sophisticated their routines are, another feature of their professionalism and artistry..
Loved it as usual, you just seem so... Comfortable to be around. Lol I'm from around your area, am a christian too, and watched all the movies you've mentioned and it just seems like I am hanging out with a friend, I love it! And editor you always makes me laugh
I love how happy and excited you are reacting to them - like genuinely impressed and interested. It's very endearing. That, and the fact that you know what you're talking about is what makes you one my favourite BTS reactor. ARMY have this thing that we say each time a new MV drops .. CGI? BigHit & BTS: We don't know her Assume everything is real haha They even have this same level of commitment to their guest appearances on TV shows, building elaborate sets & renting out incredible venues (National Museum, Gyeongbokgung Palace, Jamsil Olympic Stadium, an actual aeroplane & rebuilding the Late Late Show set) for single song performances. No one is doing it like them right now.
Jimin is absolutely mesmerizing when he dances. He truly executes each movement throughout his body and his musicality is stunning. Please react to BTS Black Swan ua-cam.com/video/0lapF4DQPKQ/v-deo.html and then watch the behind the scenes of Jimin filming his dance sequences in Jimin's Black Swan Solo Behind the Scenes ua-cam.com/video/xMfp2jcK52M/v-deo.html Also, Jimin not only has a contemporary background, but also background in popping and locking plus he has a martial arts background that he incorporates into his dance. His solo dances during awards shows are stunning and beautiful. I can understand where you are coming from about Thanksgiving. My son is in Marine boot camp and this is the first holiday without him and it is just not the same. I hope you get to see your family in the near future!
I'm impressed with your insight, keen observation, and often spot-on interpretation! I'm jealous that I don't have your training and background knowledge and that my brain does not process these videos the way yours does upon my first or even hundredth view. That is why I love your reactions! I really learn a lot from them, and your comments allow me to appreciate BTS even more as all-around, spellbinding performers! Takes one to know one? 😁
You're commenting on the details of choreography better than actual dancers. Love that for you, you're commentaries are very interesting. Gonna subscribe for more. And don't be overwhelmed by the amount of content haha, take it at your pace and do whatever you're interested in first :)
As always your observations are insightful and educational to those of us not in the know about filming and lighting techniques. BTS dance practices are fascinating in that whomever your bias is Jimin always draws your eyes away from them and onto him. I think it's his innate grace and elegance when he dances. Your editorial "sweat" comments made me envious because here I am, sitting under a blanket with a hot water bottle cos it's so cold. brrrr.
I love watching the dance practices as it’s where you can really appreciate how in sync they are and really see how good their dancing is with no distractions from the videos. 💜💜💜
I'm so glad you enjoy the dance practice concepts. Just for a little information, Spring Day (which has no dance in the video) has actual choreography for live performances. There are two dance practices for it. The original choreography practice from 3 years ago and second that was released about a year ago that is a funnier version. They are worth a look.
Nice you got the behind the scenes stuff! And I seem to always miss your premieres, I've either been sleeping or in a meeting. And this one is sleeping again. I know I will love it once I wake up and watch with my morning tea :)
I know, the timing is so frustrating! I try to time it up with the chart I have for when my viewers are up so that the most people possible can attend, but I know it makes it really hard on some people. Maybe I'll do a later one sometime - thanks for watching and sorry I keep timing them poorly for you. Hope you enjoy your tea - I'm more of a coffee guy but I respect the tea ;)
@@CedricGegel1 No worries! If it was another time, I'm sure I would be in a meeting or something, there is always something going on around here. I will still love the analysis of everything at any time. You notice the little things, like how lighting will effect a certain mood, or that one move is intentional for a reason. It blows me away. I wish I liked coffee....more caffeine, I respect coffee drinkers, I have no idea how people drink it, it shrivels up my tongue so I can respect anyone that love that! I can't even eat a mocha cake, I'm always sad on that.....it's cake.
@@marissa1341 Well, either way, I’m humbled that you watch and enjoy and grateful to you for it. And I wish I could drink tea! Just not my thing - but that’s okay! Our differences are what make us unique!! 😉 although that’s how I feel about German chocolate cake... not a coconut fan. Wish I was. I love cake.
@@CedricGegel1 yup...loved it! I'm going to school for interior design and your comments on lighting just gets the brain going on how you create moods in rooms. Love it. Wonder if I should add something like that to my course load other than just the lighting course. 🤔🤔😁 The had some amazing performances with fake live with how dramatic it is. 2018 MMA i think you would really like that stage performance and it has a behind the scenes as well You can both I this playlist: m.ua-cam.com/play/PLJkSgc_QeJVxUFe_H9BVCWWURcpmVDa5Z.html
I love the dance rehearsal videos, it's so satisfying to see their choreography fully, without the cameras moving about, no set, or stage lighting, just their amazing performances and team work.
That was fun! I look forward to seeing more dance practice reactions. The "Danger" dance practice is what turned me into a BTS fan a few years ago. The "Fire" and "Not Today" practices are really good too. If you want to see the silly side of BTS where their personalities shine, then I recommend the "War of Hormone" (Real WAR version) and "Baepsae" (흥 version) practices. 😁
Ah finally a video! I’ve been looking forward to your video 😃 it’s ok to watch the dance practice 10 times we all do it too lol i can’t wait for you to watch their live performances especially for the year end award shows. There’s a few outstanding ones in my head, last year MMA and mama and 2018 MMA performance. Honestly all their performances are outstanding!
I'm one of those ARMYs that watches a performance 9 times. One for the first view, 2nd to 8th for each member, then the last and final view to appreciate them all again. 💜
Okay I got the alert and reminder set so I don't miss this premier. 😊 Excited to see what you think of Fake Love. I have been binge watching your reactions since I stumbled upon your channel 😊😊 loving your very genuine reactions and seeing the MVs from your perspective as an actor/artist. Being an ARMY since Feb 2014, it is so fun and refreshing to see BTS' journey thru your eyes and reactions. 😄 I love your interpretations and your post-edit comments to yourself. In Jimin's words: You are nice, keep going. 👍👍💜💜
@@CedricGegel1 I am glad as well. It is hard to find reactors who truly enjoy BTS for who they are and not jump on the BTS train for views. I liked your reactions so far cause you enjoy the artistry. Probably because you are an artist yourself, you have an eye for the little things that set the mood and that many others miss. Your initial reactions and intuitions are usually spot on and you don't mind the research for a better understanding which I respect a lot. BTS is a whole universe in itself with many galaxies and I don't expect deep psychological analyses from reactors. After all, BTS' first and foremost aim is to entertain us with their music and make us feel good and happy. However, I believe that having some basic interest in/ understanding of any artist's history and work is a) a sign of giving them the respect they deserve and b) makes their artistry even more enjoyable and gives you new perspectives. So, I guess I just wanted to say you are doing an excellent job so far and giving us some really interesting new perspectives and takes on content I at least have known for years. And I LOVE your post-edit comnents to yourself. 😄👍 One last remark if I may. Don't let yourself get pressured by the flood of requests. They will come in. This is your channel and you do your thing in your own time. As an old ARMY my only suggestion would be to get an overwiew of their discography and work your way thru it. Take notes of suggested material and channels etc but don't let yourself be pushed in any direction. This is YOUR ride into the rabbit hole and you should enjoy it and learn things on the way instead of getting frustrated by wanting to meet viewers' expectations 😊😊 If people are truly interested in getting to know you thru BTS, they will stick around and support you.
Every new video that you put out makes me love your channel that much more! I can't get over how genuine you are! You have easily become one of my favorite kpop reactors! I learn so much from watching your videos that I don't from others!
Hi Cedric. I really like how you analyze and comment BTS videos. I'm touched when you said "I Purple You" :) .... Hope you will review Daechwita, Run and I Need You. They are also very good.... Have a great day :)
Heyy! Just wanted to say that I absolutely love your videos! I really love your insights on film making and music! You have such a keen eye for detail! Really really love your sense your humour! Hope you don't get overwhelmed by gazillion content that people are expecting you to react to! Hope you take your time and do it in your own pace! 💜 (P. S. Those notes at the bottom of you videos are absolutely hilarious pls keep them!)
I love watching your reactions, you have knowledge about both dance and film making and you explain both so that the uneducated like me can understand what you are talking about and become more educated about what I am watching. Thank you for sharing the knowledge. Stay healthy and Blessing to you and your faming during the Holiday Season from Kentucky
Yall the Fake love choreography is so hard I legit feel like my bones are broken lol you need to be quite flexible and have a lot of stamina for those type of dances it just shows how complex, detailed , and hard Bts choreography is
Fake love is the hardest choreo ever. There’s a lot dancer or better dancer. but,to put up with such lots of emotions thru it- no one surpass the original BTS ;) just love them 4ever. Thanks for your genuine reaction.Purple yah
Wait till U watch them dance & sing it live 😎 Fake Love need to sing in high tone and they do it flawlessly 🥰 I recommend the live version at MAMA Award
Man I am so glad I subscribed, your reactions and comments on the way certain things are done are so interesting! Plus your little comments to yourself are fun too and make the viewing experience more enjoyable 😂 Thank you for taking the time out to react to the boys ^^
btw their dance practice videos are one of the most entertaining and amazing things I've ever seen,totally recommend you include it in your reaction videos☺
I like seeing your take on the film making ,production design aspects of the MVs. Cherry on the cake , your self-deprecating humor and the commentary at the bottom :D
Wow. Really appreciate how thoughtful this reaction was. I don't mind you pausing or going back as long as you have something thoughtful to say about it. Subscribed!
I would definitely recommend watching the dance practices and live performances as much as you can. Their music videos are amazing but their stage performances and productions are absolutely next level. Especially when you remember that BTS always sings live while doing all this chroeo/acting. I am really enjoying your reactions. :)
@Cedric Gegel Yes, the scenes that you didn't recognize with the robes and masks are part of Fake Love MV (Extended version). There's more story details and clues in this one, related to the Bangtan Universe (BTS long storyline). Also, this version also sounds different, it has a soft rock-like sound.
It is great to study the dance practice for small details that support the theme especially the "doll" loss or sacrifice of self to a relationship or situation. Keep going and stay well
The Fake Love video is a compilation of scenes from each member's character in the cinematic universe known as the Bangtan Universe. Every scene references videos that go back to their Young Forever and Wings albums. It is very deep and is a huge rabbit hole, but if you're ever interested in another layer, you should definitely check out some videos that explain the BU as it is so far. I love xCeleste and Bookish Theories. 💜💜
The piece you like its them being mannequins puppets to love.These guys are super crazy talented.They can do it all. Unbelievable how they capture everyone who watches their videos regardless of what they do. BTS gets under your.skin and Jimin..well what can I say other than wow.Super humble guys into the bargain .welcome to the world of army and it's only going to get bigger.The way they reach out I have never seen before in music not for a very long time.
Hi Cedric! Is that Wilford Brimley you worked with in your opening cut?! Anyways, you've mentioned Jimin's contemporary training a few times now, and I know fans tend to focus on that, I think as it is unique to him. And I don't know if this is of interest to you or not lol but Jimin actually has more pre-debut training in hip hop/pop & lock than contemporary. Here's a few links if you are interested (and I guess others may not have seen these) lol I posted this for someone else who was asking about Jimin's dance history, so I'll just copy/paste for you lol While attending Yonsan Middle School in his hometown of Busan, Jimin also attended the Just Dance Academy on weekends where he learned Popping and Locking. This first video is from the "Busan City Kids" dance showcase on Feb. 06, 2011 (he's the one all in black). ua-cam.com/video/zL80EaiXaOE/v-deo.html The second is from an in-house party event at Just Dance Academy on Nov. 13, 2011 (Jimin is in red). Coincidentally Jin, Jungkook and Taehyung all became trainees at BigHit in the same month as this video! lol ua-cam.com/video/qDBvhp86kzU/v-deo.html He started high school in Mar of 2011 at Busan School of Arts where he primarily focused on Contemporary dance. This is another showcase he took part in. ua-cam.com/video/4qgHGq-rXT4/v-deo.html Many people think that he stopped going to the Just Dance Academy when he began high school but that is not true. He continued to attend Just Dance Academy on weekends all the way up until he became a trainee at BigHit in May 2012. There used to be more videos from other events, but sadly they have been deleted :-( What I personally find the most impressive however is the fact that, while learning dance and going to school, he also earned his Dan Belt in Taekwondo! I think that is where he gets his ability with all the flips and spins, etc Also, I don't know if you noticed or not, but that large sculpture and the dance both repeat 'see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil'. The members also hold these poses throughout the video. Just something subtle that ties it all together I thought.
Hey - I promise I read your whole comment and really enjoyed it! I don’t have enough time to respond to everything, but to answer your question - it’s Richard Riehle, who, like Wilford Brimley, is one of the greatest character actors of all time. Truly an honor to work with him!
@@CedricGegel1 Oh yes! I know who Richard is! He was in a lot of popular films and television in the 90's (and probably beyond but I moved out of the city and didn't have TV for a couple decades after, still don't lol). A Dangerous Woman is the film I remember most clearly. How lucky for you! Anyways don't worry about the rest. That was as much for new ARMY as for you ;-)
@@imsinkingfast oh yes! He’s been in hundreds of things and continues to work all the time - he’s a wonderful guy and a terrific actor! And nevertheless - it was helpful! Thank you!
During the behind the scenes video, they were wearing the black cloaks and there was an explosion behind them. That’s part of the extended version of fake love. They added a few extra clips and the song has more of a rock vibe. You should check it out. 💜💜
Dunno if anyone talks about this but I love even those little annotations you have at the bottom of the screen
SAME! I crack up all the time. In his previous video he said something along the lines of an "emotional yodel" lmao
It’s also just awesome in the sense that when he adds them... it validates that while he’s editing, he takes the time to still pay attention and catches even more details than he could get on the first watch! We all love genuine reactions, but genuine, informative AND detail oriented?? ARMY’s dream reactor 😂💜
i know right??
"they're all so good, that my eyes pulled in so many directions" - that's why i watch dance practises 8 times 😂
Yes, at least 8 times! Once for the overall group and then one time for each member. 😁
same here 😂😂 and even then I struggle coz my eyes keep wanting to follow Jimin 😂
Умножь на семь!🥰
HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I PROMISE - I hear you on the "Life Goes On" and "Daechwita" reactions. They're gonna happen. They'll be surprises.
Also, I watched all the documentaries and the Italian explanation for Spring Day and... ugh. That is such an awful, terrible disaster. I spent all day Monday researching it. So beyond sad. Thank you for educating me on that.
I hope you've all loved the new BTS music and I hope all of you are having lovely days. This is my first Thanksgiving spent not with my family, due to COVID, so it's a bit of a weird time for me. Glad I got to find some joy in these videos. Hope you enjoy my reaction!
Hope to see some of you over on Patreon, but if not, I'll see you next week here on UA-cam :D
stay safe and fin 💜😊and i really enjoy your reactions
I'm glad that they make you happy💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Love your reactions you nice keep going!
I’ve really enjoyed your reaction videos & I can’t wait for your next one!
I’m so sorry that you’re unable to get back to your family to celebrate Thanksgiving. I pray that you and your family continue to be safe and healthy. 💜
@@JC-fw9bg Much appreciated, thank you 🙏🏼 we’ll have to see how Christmas is looking but obviously, health and safety are paramount for all of us! But seriously - thank you.
Thank YOU! 💜
“I find it hard to look away from jimin” i can relate😭😭💜
like, he's not alone. it's the 'problem' of most people, especially yt reactors😂
"I find it hard to look away from Jimin"
Me too! I have bias eyes for Jimin and my eyes just go there.
It is so hard to look away from Jimin! I will watch the practices multiple times to try & focus on each member but at some point I always realize I’m focusing on Jimin again! They are all very good dancers but Jimin & Hobi have definitive styles to their dancing that make them extra special.
"I find it hard to look away from Jimin"
And here we go again.
Can totally relate tho 😭
Lol the saga never ends
Totally me..
Lol! 👍🏻
Is he the 373661829493737th man that Jimin steal?
Cedric: I find hard to look away from Jimin.
Army: Once you Jim-IN, you can't Jim-Out.
💜💜💜💜
masks part is included in the Extended version. it also has some new shots and different musical arrangement
also Fake Love Official Teaser 1
is super interesting, but more for BU :)
THE WAY YOU SMOOTHLY INSERTED THE "I'M NOT ME WHEN I'M HUNGRY" I LOVE EDITING CEDRIC😭😭
I'M SO GLAD YOU NOTICED THAT 😭😭
Was looking for this comment lol
Omg you've fallen into the Jimin Effect
I know you've done black swan but I think you should do "Jimin's black swan solo behind the scenes" it's an amazing solo that shows his contemporary training, and correct me if i'm wrong but you haven't seen it yet.
That's on my list!
@@CedricGegel1 i'll help u with the link 😊💜 ua-cam.com/video/xMfp2jcK52M/v-deo.html
@@CedricGegel1 oh, I'm excited.😂
Also, “Musical actors” behind the scene is super funny. Operatic BTS is the best BTS 😋
I usually have to watch a dance practice video twice in a row because I always find myself only looking at Jimin 😂😭 His dancing is so interesting, it’s like he tells a story with his body.
LMAO UR NAME😭😭🤣🤣
I really like how you videos has many layers. The video analyzed, the reaction and comments, the edit improving the narrative and the subtitles pointing things out and making fun of, like a friend watching the video with me.
I've found myself giggling and smirking while learning a lot about filmmaking.
You are really great!
Wow, thank you! That's a bit of the goal with it - so we're basically friends now. Glad you've enjoyed!
I thought this is another youtube channel that only uses Bts to become famous and attract viewers, but I was wrong, I actually learned a lot here on this channel, I really like how you analyzed the videos and your comments was very detailed, the reaction ,the editing are funny too,and also I learn a lot about filmaking.
Keep it up bro 👍
Hey! So glad you stopped by and enjoyed! Thanks for the kind words 🙌🏼
Self critical commentaries show how detail oriented you are. You already give so much attention to the camera and your reactions so you don't have to be so apologetic. Even though it's not the quality you wish you achieved, I think everyone is happy just to get a new video. No one is perfect, your effort and love is acknowledged.
1500: Cedric “You can hear them breathe. It’s a hard dance.” Jimin said in one of their interviews that Fake Love is one of the hardest dance and almost wipes him out.
jimin my forever favorite dancer i have never loved anyones dancing THIS much in my life.
"i find it really hard to look away from Jimin" SO TRUE
That backdrop of arms is an actual 3 dimensional piece of art, not a projection or painting
Can you react Not Today ? The MV is kinda like movie, some reactor said It's the Matrix 😁..they shoot in steep cliffs and the weather so cold, you can check behind the scene too
I’ll add it to the list! Thank you!
The sculpture at the back actually depicts the hands referencing the saying “See no evil, speak no evil and hear no evil.” You will see that saying also reflected in the choreography.
Thank you for this reaction. BTS dancing is on another level. You will see when you watch older dance rehearsals. The foot work, synchronisation and transitions are top notch. And just like their music, they blend different dance styles effortlesly to tell a story and convey a message. Maybe there are a few gestures or moves reoccuring but none of their dances are the same. Even the easiest ones will have intricate parts making them seem more difficult.
As for Jimin...they all are awesome dancers but there is something about Jimin dancing that pulls you in. And your eyes keep following him. That's why I watch these rehearsals several times 😂 and the dancer in Jimin is always there at any given moment. It shows in his stance, his moves, his posture. Having done ballet myself I saw that right away. Even in this you can see him in first position several times. 😊
As always your attention to detail is refreshing and your videos are fantastic watches.
"I find it really hard to look away from Jimin". That's okay Cedric... the first step is admittance. Don't fight it. 😂😂
I'm glad you enjoyed the dance practice as well. They call it "practice" but most of the time they only post it once they've perfected the choreo or are close to it. As a treat, they might post one in halloween costumes and/or goof around a bit.
It's less common to see more of the progress while they're learning the choreo and discussing parts/sequences as they go along. A good example is their Festa Prom Party video where 2 members learn a choreo for an MJ tribute. Later in the video, they perform (dance) MJ's Black or White to ARMY for the group's anniversary.
Can't wait for Daechwita reaction!! IT'S AMAZING!!!
Editing Cedric is a savage genius and I love it (also, sneaking that Snickers motto in like that? 10/10).
"I find it hard to look away from Jimin." We like to say that once you Jim-in, you can't Jim-out. He has inexplicable charm that just attracts people to him - it's called the Jimin Effect.
You mentioned it in passing, but didn't note this particular detail; the poses they strike during the chorus each time they repeat "fake love" are actually them covering their eyes, ears, mouth, in reference to the Three Wise Monkeys proverb.
You made the remark that it had only been two weeks since you started watching BTS but seemed so much longer. There other reactors that have said the same. (Both DTParker & MrSammyCam made videos of looking back and laughing at their own naivety which are fun to watch). I think it is because once you discover how much they have done, their diversity of songs, and ARMY, there’s no going back. 😃
I'm not a UA-cam person but I go to UA-cam every day just to wait for you to put out a new reaction video. your reaction was really good. I can't wait to see it!!! 😆😆
they are perfect performer 💜
especially... I can't take my eyes off Jimin.He's so fantastic.😍
This is going to sound strange, but, since I know you are a believer, I would like to ask for your prayers. My brother is getting a liver and kidney transplant today after 7 years of waiting! Please pray for him and for the donor's family. We will never get to thank them for this most precious gift, so prayers of comfort are all we can give them. Thank you for sharing your light in such a dark time.
Oh my gosh! Absolutely in my prayers. Thank you for asking. Hoping for the best and blessings to the whole family. Praying for all of you.
All their dance practices, you will never get tired of watching them
You are officially my favorite reactor to BTS. I look forward to each and every reaction, and you never disappoint. You not only appreciate their talent, but I learn a lot from you and I love that. I am enjoying your journey through their discography/videography.
For dance, I suggest "Dope" and "No More Dream," then "Fire" too, and "Idol" and "Dionysys". For the overall performance, I know that the MMA and MAMA 2019 performances will blow you away, but I think you should work your way through more of their songs/videos first, and don't break out any of the songs to watch them separately (someone gave you a link below) - those performances should not be dissected or reduced to anything but the absolute world-class, nothing tops them, all hail BTS performances that they are as a whole. Part of the wonder is that they are 30-40 performances of multiple songs - for an AWARDS SHOW.
There have been SO MANY "Dynamite" performances, but the one this week on The Late Late Show with James Corden was...well, it was mind-blowing. Even the Exec Producer from the show (Ben Winston) tweeted and Instagrammed about how they were blown away with what BTS did for the show. Look for the video that combines both songs that they did into one video - "Life Goes On" followed by "Dynamite".
Also, I know you said you were putting off reacting to BE until you'd seen their older stuff, but I do think you could react to BE at any time, since I don't think it's so much tied to the BTS Universe and is more of a gift to ARMY because of the pandemic (and a source of catharsis for the members, too, if you ask me). "BE" has a song on it called "Blue & Grey" - originally written by V for his mixtape, but he offered it up as a song for "BE" instead. Because of your respect/empathy/sympathy for those going through a hard time, experiencing depression, I think you will be really touched by that song. Because of your high degree of emotional intelligence, I think you will actually deeply appreciate that entire album.
Thank you for such really terrific reactions and for the respect you show BTS with every video. As Jimin would say: "Cedric, you're nice. Keep going." And we purple you, too.
Many of their routines are so athletic that heavy breathing is almost inevitable. Typically song sets are not overly lengthy designed to allow them to recover, often with oxygen available immediately, as well as time to change costuming. The beauty of BTS is that these dance practices allow you to see how crisp and sophisticated their routines are, another feature of their professionalism and artistry..
Loved it as usual, you just seem so... Comfortable to be around. Lol I'm from around your area, am a christian too, and watched all the movies you've mentioned and it just seems like I am hanging out with a friend, I love it! And editor you always makes me laugh
um I'm pretty sure that just means we're friends now, I don't make the rules
I love how happy and excited you are reacting to them - like genuinely impressed and interested. It's very endearing. That, and the fact that you know what you're talking about is what makes you one my favourite BTS reactor.
ARMY have this thing that we say each time a new MV drops ..
CGI?
BigHit & BTS: We don't know her
Assume everything is real haha
They even have this same level of commitment to their guest appearances on TV shows, building elaborate sets & renting out incredible venues (National Museum, Gyeongbokgung Palace, Jamsil Olympic Stadium, an actual aeroplane & rebuilding the Late Late Show set) for single song performances. No one is doing it like them right now.
Jimin is absolutely mesmerizing when he dances. He truly executes each movement throughout his body and his musicality is stunning. Please react to BTS Black Swan ua-cam.com/video/0lapF4DQPKQ/v-deo.html and then watch the behind the scenes of Jimin filming his dance sequences in Jimin's Black Swan Solo Behind the Scenes ua-cam.com/video/xMfp2jcK52M/v-deo.html Also, Jimin not only has a contemporary background, but also background in popping and locking plus he has a martial arts background that he incorporates into his dance. His solo dances during awards shows are stunning and beautiful.
I can understand where you are coming from about Thanksgiving. My son is in Marine boot camp and this is the first holiday without him and it is just not the same. I hope you get to see your family in the near future!
There's another one called "Who's That Shadow?" on BANGTANTV

@@Alexeya13 Thanks! I forgot about that one :)
Your little edits and annotations crack me uuuup
I'm impressed with your insight, keen observation, and often spot-on interpretation! I'm jealous that I don't have your training and background knowledge and that my brain does not process these videos the way yours does upon my first or even hundredth view. That is why I love your reactions! I really learn a lot from them, and your comments allow me to appreciate BTS even more as all-around, spellbinding performers! Takes one to know one? 😁
You're commenting on the details of choreography better than actual dancers. Love that for you, you're commentaries are very interesting. Gonna subscribe for more. And don't be overwhelmed by the amount of content haha, take it at your pace and do whatever you're interested in first :)
As always your observations are insightful and educational to those of us not in the know about filming and lighting techniques. BTS dance practices are fascinating in that whomever your bias is Jimin always draws your eyes away from them and onto him. I think it's his innate grace and elegance when he dances. Your editorial "sweat" comments made me envious because here I am, sitting under a blanket with a hot water bottle cos it's so cold. brrrr.
I love watching the dance practices as it’s where you can really appreciate how in sync they are and really see how good their dancing is with no distractions from the videos. 💜💜💜
I'm so glad you enjoy the dance practice concepts. Just for a little information, Spring Day (which has no dance in the video) has actual choreography for live performances. There are two dance practices for it. The original choreography practice from 3 years ago and second that was released about a year ago that is a funnier version. They are worth a look.
Nice you got the behind the scenes stuff! And I seem to always miss your premieres, I've either been sleeping or in a meeting. And this one is sleeping again. I know I will love it once I wake up and watch with my morning tea :)
I know, the timing is so frustrating! I try to time it up with the chart I have for when my viewers are up so that the most people possible can attend, but I know it makes it really hard on some people. Maybe I'll do a later one sometime - thanks for watching and sorry I keep timing them poorly for you. Hope you enjoy your tea - I'm more of a coffee guy but I respect the tea ;)
@@CedricGegel1 No worries! If it was another time, I'm sure I would be in a meeting or something, there is always something going on around here. I will still love the analysis of everything at any time. You notice the little things, like how lighting will effect a certain mood, or that one move is intentional for a reason. It blows me away.
I wish I liked coffee....more caffeine, I respect coffee drinkers, I have no idea how people drink it, it shrivels up my tongue so I can respect anyone that love that! I can't even eat a mocha cake, I'm always sad on that.....it's cake.
@@marissa1341 Well, either way, I’m humbled that you watch and enjoy and grateful to you for it. And I wish I could drink tea! Just not my thing - but that’s okay! Our differences are what make us unique!! 😉 although that’s how I feel about German chocolate cake... not a coconut fan. Wish I was. I love cake.
@@CedricGegel1 yup...loved it! I'm going to school for interior design and your comments on lighting just gets the brain going on how you create moods in rooms. Love it. Wonder if I should add something like that to my course load other than just the lighting course. 🤔🤔😁
The had some amazing performances with fake live with how dramatic it is. 2018 MMA i think you would really like that stage performance and it has a behind the scenes as well
You can both I this playlist: m.ua-cam.com/play/PLJkSgc_QeJVxUFe_H9BVCWWURcpmVDa5Z.html
Ooohhh you should see their dance practice with the dance break for Fake Love.
Also Check out Spring Day Dance practice!
I love the dance rehearsal videos, it's so satisfying to see their choreography fully, without the cameras moving about, no set, or stage lighting, just their amazing performances and team work.
Can't wait for you to see the 2018 MMA live version. It's so far above what the US gets on their award shows. Truly spectacular.
That was fun! I look forward to seeing more dance practice reactions. The "Danger" dance practice is what turned me into a BTS fan a few years ago. The "Fire" and "Not Today" practices are really good too. If you want to see the silly side of BTS where their personalities shine, then I recommend the "War of Hormone" (Real WAR version) and "Baepsae" (흥 version) practices. 😁
Thank you for your reaction .
Ah finally a video! I’ve been looking forward to your video 😃 it’s ok to watch the dance practice 10 times we all do it too lol i can’t wait for you to watch their live performances especially for the year end award shows. There’s a few outstanding ones in my head, last year MMA and mama and 2018 MMA performance. Honestly all their performances are outstanding!
I'm one of those ARMYs that watches a performance 9 times. One for the first view, 2nd to 8th for each member, then the last and final view to appreciate them all again. 💜
Okay I got the alert and reminder set so I don't miss this premier. 😊 Excited to see what you think of Fake Love. I have been binge watching your reactions since I stumbled upon your channel 😊😊 loving your very genuine reactions and seeing the MVs from your perspective as an actor/artist. Being an ARMY since Feb 2014, it is so fun and refreshing to see BTS' journey thru your eyes and reactions. 😄 I love your interpretations and your post-edit comments to yourself. In Jimin's words: You are nice, keep going. 👍👍💜💜
Thank you so much 🙏🏼 so glad you stumbled onto me and enjoy the videos - that means a lot!
@@CedricGegel1 I am glad as well. It is hard to find reactors who truly enjoy BTS for who they are and not jump on the BTS train for views. I liked your reactions so far cause you enjoy the artistry. Probably because you are an artist yourself, you have an eye for the little things that set the mood and that many others miss. Your initial reactions and intuitions are usually spot on and you don't mind the research for a better understanding which I respect a lot. BTS is a whole universe in itself with many galaxies and I don't expect deep psychological analyses from reactors. After all, BTS' first and foremost aim is to entertain us with their music and make us feel good and happy. However, I believe that having some basic interest in/ understanding of any artist's history and work is a) a sign of giving them the respect they deserve and b) makes their artistry even more enjoyable and gives you new perspectives.
So, I guess I just wanted to say you are doing an excellent job so far and giving us some really interesting new perspectives and takes on content I at least have known for years. And I LOVE your post-edit comnents to yourself. 😄👍 One last remark if I may. Don't let yourself get pressured by the flood of requests. They will come in. This is your channel and you do your thing in your own time. As an old ARMY my only suggestion would be to get an overwiew of their discography and work your way thru it. Take notes of suggested material and channels etc but don't let yourself be pushed in any direction. This is YOUR ride into the rabbit hole and you should enjoy it and learn things on the way instead of getting frustrated by wanting to meet viewers' expectations 😊😊 If people are truly interested in getting to know you thru BTS, they will stick around and support you.
Could you react to the explaination and to the making of for blood sweat and tear? Please
Every new video that you put out makes me love your channel that much more! I can't get over how genuine you are! You have easily become one of my favorite kpop reactors! I learn so much from watching your videos that I don't from others!
Hi Cedric. I really like how you analyze and comment BTS videos. I'm touched when you said "I Purple You" :) .... Hope you will review Daechwita, Run and I Need You. They are also very good.... Have a great day :)
I love your attention to detail :)
Thanks for the reaction of this video..i enjoy while watching your reactions and explanation as well.. I purple you 💜😁..
Heyy! Just wanted to say that I absolutely love your videos! I really love your insights on film making and music! You have such a keen eye for detail! Really really love your sense your humour! Hope you don't get overwhelmed by gazillion content that people are expecting you to react to! Hope you take your time and do it in your own pace! 💜
(P. S. Those notes at the bottom of you videos are absolutely hilarious pls keep them!)
I love watching your reactions, you have knowledge about both dance and film making and you explain both so that the uneducated like me can understand what you are talking about and become more educated about what I am watching. Thank you for sharing the knowledge. Stay healthy and Blessing to you and your faming during the Holiday Season from Kentucky
Yall the Fake love choreography is so hard I legit feel like my bones are broken lol you need to be quite flexible and have a lot of stamina for those type of dances it just shows how complex, detailed , and hard Bts choreography is
Yes I love these 2 in 1 videos haha
Fake love is the hardest choreo ever. There’s a lot dancer or better dancer. but,to put up with such lots of emotions thru it- no one surpass the original BTS ;) just love them 4ever.
Thanks for your genuine reaction.Purple yah
Another amazing reaction!!! Thank you!!! AND I love your smile 💜
Aaa purple you too! I love your reaction, tc and stay safe!
Wait till U watch them dance & sing it live 😎 Fake Love need to sing in high tone and they do it flawlessly 🥰 I recommend the live version at MAMA Award
Man I am so glad I subscribed, your reactions and comments on the way certain things are done are so interesting! Plus your little comments to yourself are fun too and make the viewing experience more enjoyable 😂 Thank you for taking the time out to react to the boys ^^
btw their dance practice videos are one of the most entertaining and amazing things I've ever seen,totally recommend you include it in your reaction videos☺
Just finished binge watching your bts reaction vids. So glad i found your channel and looking forward to more bts content 😊💜🔥
I love how you knew their names, Thank you! Such little things like that are awesome 😭
I like seeing your take on the film making ,production design aspects of the MVs. Cherry on the cake , your self-deprecating humor and the commentary at the bottom :D
"Me resulta difícil apartar la mirada a Jimin" Y aquí vamos de nuevo.
Jimin haciéndolo de nuevo
7:16 is added to the ending of an alternate version of the mv, known as the extended version
The deeper you get into the storyline, the more of a masterpiece *Fake Love* becomes 💜
thank you for reaction! i really enjoy watching you ~
Wow. Really appreciate how thoughtful this reaction was. I don't mind you pausing or going back as long as you have something thoughtful to say about it. Subscribed!
As always, thank you for your reaction! I really enjoy them :) 💜
LMAO I DIED AT THAT OUTRO.....we all fell in the pit it's true! Welcome! :)
Cedric: OMG they used real fire!!!
BTS fire mv: set an actual person on fire!!!!👁👄👁
I would definitely recommend watching the dance practices and live performances as much as you can. Their music videos are amazing but their stage performances and productions are absolutely next level. Especially when you remember that BTS always sings live while doing all this chroeo/acting. I am really enjoying your reactions. :)
@Cedric Gegel Yes, the scenes that you didn't recognize with the robes and masks are part of Fake Love MV (Extended version). There's more story details and clues in this one, related to the Bangtan Universe (BTS long storyline).
Also, this version also sounds different, it has a soft rock-like sound.
I find it hard to look away from all of them💜
you will be able to see the explosion on the extension version of the MV
It is great to study the dance practice for small details that support the theme especially the "doll" loss or sacrifice of self to a relationship or situation. Keep going and stay well
The Fake Love video is a compilation of scenes from each member's character in the cinematic universe known as the Bangtan Universe. Every scene references videos that go back to their Young Forever and Wings albums. It is very deep and is a huge rabbit hole, but if you're ever interested in another layer, you should definitely check out some videos that explain the BU as it is so far. I love xCeleste and Bookish Theories. 💜💜
I like this lighting more. It made the subs readable. 😂
You got great moves! Purple you back and cant wait for the next reaction💜💜
Love your reaction and how you analyze the video!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I am waiting for more!! 😍😍😍😍😍
Take care and May God bless you! 💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you for taking the time to share you thoughts and ideas with us. I love all your commentary and edits 💜
And your R2 shirt is really cool 😎
Thank you so much! You're the first comment I've seen to notice the shirt ;)
Extended version and Teasers have more scenes, which adds to the meaning of the story. It's worth it to watch them all 💜
Happy Thanksgiving and stay safe. Love watching you!
I always have to watch them perform or practice on their vedios like 10 times or more, and 7 of the times are to watch their individual moves. ,-)
I love your channel so much 😭💜
The piece you like its them being mannequins puppets to love.These guys are super crazy talented.They can do it all. Unbelievable how they capture everyone who watches their videos regardless of what they do. BTS gets under your.skin and Jimin..well what can I say other than wow.Super humble guys into the bargain
.welcome to the world of army and it's only going to get bigger.The way they reach out I have never seen before in music not for a very long time.
We all sweat, bruh, don't sweat it (ha).I didnt even notice until you pointed it out. 🤣
Hi Cedric! Is that Wilford Brimley you worked with in your opening cut?! Anyways, you've mentioned Jimin's contemporary training a few times now, and I know fans tend to focus on that, I think as it is unique to him. And I don't know if this is of interest to you or not lol but Jimin actually has more pre-debut training in hip hop/pop & lock than contemporary. Here's a few links if you are interested (and I guess others may not have seen these) lol
I posted this for someone else who was asking about Jimin's dance history, so I'll just copy/paste for you lol
While attending Yonsan Middle School in his hometown of Busan, Jimin also attended the Just Dance Academy on weekends where he learned Popping and Locking. This first video is from the "Busan City Kids" dance showcase on Feb. 06, 2011 (he's the one all in black).
ua-cam.com/video/zL80EaiXaOE/v-deo.html
The second is from an in-house party event at Just Dance Academy on Nov. 13, 2011 (Jimin is in red). Coincidentally Jin, Jungkook and Taehyung all became trainees at BigHit in the same month as this video! lol
ua-cam.com/video/qDBvhp86kzU/v-deo.html
He started high school in Mar of 2011 at Busan School of Arts where he primarily focused on Contemporary dance. This is another showcase he took part in.
ua-cam.com/video/4qgHGq-rXT4/v-deo.html
Many people think that he stopped going to the Just Dance Academy when he began high school but that is not true. He continued to attend Just Dance Academy on weekends all the way up until he became a trainee at BigHit in May 2012.
There used to be more videos from other events, but sadly they have been deleted :-(
What I personally find the most impressive however is the fact that, while learning dance and going to school, he also earned his Dan Belt in Taekwondo! I think that is where he gets his ability with all the flips and spins, etc
Also, I don't know if you noticed or not, but that large sculpture and the dance both repeat 'see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil'. The members also hold these poses throughout the video. Just something subtle that ties it all together I thought.
Hey - I promise I read your whole comment and really enjoyed it! I don’t have enough time to respond to everything, but to answer your question - it’s Richard Riehle, who, like Wilford Brimley, is one of the greatest character actors of all time. Truly an honor to work with him!
@@CedricGegel1 Oh yes! I know who Richard is! He was in a lot of popular films and television in the 90's (and probably beyond but I moved out of the city and didn't have TV for a couple decades after, still don't lol). A Dangerous Woman is the film I remember most clearly. How lucky for you! Anyways don't worry about the rest. That was as much for new ARMY as for you ;-)
@@imsinkingfast oh yes! He’s been in hundreds of things and continues to work all the time - he’s a wonderful guy and a terrific actor! And nevertheless - it was helpful! Thank you!
I love watching ur video reactions. 💜
I am just as excited to see your dance reactions as your MV reactions. Thank you!
I look forward to all your videos !! I hope you had a good Thanksgiving :)
Excited to see this video and to hear what you have to say! :)
During the behind the scenes video, they were wearing the black cloaks and there was an explosion behind them. That’s part of the extended version of fake love. They added a few extra clips and the song has more of a rock vibe. You should check it out. 💜💜
You are the best reactor!!!!!! Love you so much
