@@tribeloui2023 😂😂 lmao It’s like the algorithm ✨knows✨ you need a consistent reminder I actually just went and checked out the lyrics to Daydream for the first time in a while and holy goddamn is there what to think about in there!! 😂
@@tribeloui2023 u can turn off the autoplay switch (it's on the left of the CC/subs button) :) hope that helps when u're recording reactions especially cuz that 3 second autoplay can be quite distracting! and Lol the algorithm recommends u alot of daydream by jhope cuz u been watching alot of that lol! XD
For some reason a handful of ppl think that liking bts in any capacity = liking kpop 😭 kpop is more of an industry than a genre in my opinion; there’s too much variety. The only thing that ties them together is their ethnicity & high focus on visuals. This doesn’t really have much to do with your video, it’s just a peeve I have when ppl immediately recommend other kpop acts to someone getting into bts 💀 Blackpink have some great songs in all honesty, they’re just not my style. Anyways! Love your energy as always. You make everything enjoyable ^-^
My thing is what exactly is K-pop cuz I thought it was a genre But you’re saying it’s more of an industry which lowkey I can see now that I’m thinking about it I have no idea what world Ive stepped into 😭😭😭
@@tribeloui2023 Suga of BTS described it as "integrated content", and not a genre, actually. To quote him in a Q&A at the Grammy Museum, he said: “‘K-pop includes not just the music, but the clothes, the makeup, the choreography…all these elements I think sort of amalgamate together in a visual and auditory content package, that I think sets it apart from other music or maybe other genres so again, as I said, rather than approach K-pop as it’s own genre I think approaching it as this integration of different content would be better.”
Well said- and as an addition, Bts are definitely outliers in kpop In terms of style and how involved they are with their sound, style and the concepts in their lyrics
@Tribe Loui if you want a perspective on kpop and bts and how they contrast I recommend the video by 'boracity magazine' on youtube called "Why most army's don't like kpop". It gives a lot of insight on where the differences lie and her videos are informative for anyone really. I recommend you check that vide out.
once reactors start reacting to BTS, fans from other groups will lure you into reacting to their groups too 😅 thanks for keeping it honest dude. excited to watch you go deeper into BTS' discography.
Exactly. They always want what BTS have. I saw one stray ( i don't know what their fans are called).going round begging BTS reactors to react to Straykids. These fandoms do too much.
Yooo I was so scared when I realized u reacted to BP, I thought I was about to watch another "sincere reactor" suddenly loving Kpop without actually understanding how different is their industrial genre and BTS genre. As a fandom we are kinda used to like some reactors and then watching them react to everything saying they are great and life changing. It's just- nah, that's not true. The visuals are amazing bc that's the esencial thing in kpop, the catchy rythym too. The lyricsm? The instruments? The message? U can't find that everywhere. I've been following your journey with BTS since u reacted to hobi + j-cole and, of course, if u want to, it'd be great if you discover more korean artist u could like. U can find some out there freaking talented. Just stay real and we'll keep loving your reactions. Peace ♡
I honestly appreciate that you gave me a chance to really express my opinion The visuals was amazing don’t get me wrong and the beat was good But I just couldn’t get behind those lyrics ngl to you and I realized that if I’m gonna consider The Tribe family then I gotta be honest even if I may hurt some feelings I’m just happy my honesty wasn’t too offensive to folks Thank you for the kind comment fr fr🙏😁💜
I completely agree with you! I’m not a fan of Blackpink, because I don’t get any true substance from their lyrics. I don’t relate to anything they sing about. No hate it’s just not for me.
@@tribeloui2023 It's not gonna get any better lol. Their songs generally only cover 3 main topics: being hot, being rich, being badass. Pick one you really like and stick to it, extended exposure makes the magic wear off and you start to notice the patterns in their song structure. Jennie verse, Lisa verse, Rose/Jisoo pre-chorus, beat build up, empty chorus with 2 repeated onomatopoeia phrases. Rinse, repeat
Same bro same Like I did try to listen to them n what not while honestly i did like 2 of there songs but still they did not connect with me as BTS does I enjoy bp's few songs but only when I m in that mood but otherwise noo I DO NOT MEAN TO DISRESPECT BLACKPINK IF YOU CONNECT WITH THEM THATS GREAT BUT IF I DON'T YOU CANT FORCE ME TOO
how you like the 7 twinks being shipped to the army to clean toilets while bp just broke the record for the most selling tour and highest grossing by a KPOP ACT bahahah😂😂 bp karma
@@tribeloui2023 did somebody recommended some songs. My suggestion don't watch "pink venom" n "shut down" in advance. Better watch "As if it's your last" "playing with fire ' n "the happiest girl" ( no video on this last song) . Peace ✌️ out.
If you're gonna respond to comments then I hope you see this. I absolutely live for your journey with BTS. And I'm grateful that you're honest about your reactions to BlackPink. Because reactors left and right will react to them even if..well, because it brings clout. I'm sure many more kpop stans will come at you to react to their faves because you react to BTS, but really...qualities differ in miles. But that's for you to judge. I hope you don't feel pressurized to react to anything.
Of course I’m gonnna respond to you Amy 😁 Yeah I’m not gonna say anything negative about them Their music is for people who like it and Imma leave it at that However one thing that will always remain true is my honesty and how I feel towards music I can’t fake it😭😭 And lying is so damn much work Ngl BTS is on a different level in my eyes But I’ve only listened to them and Back pink so I don’t know much And no the only person that can put pressure on me is me lol Thank you for the concern fr fr💜 that’s kind of you
I appreciate your comments Amy, hope no one comes at you for your honest opinion. At one time, we were allowed to have them until they became hate comments. That’s when it changed. By the way, I totally agree with you. BTS is like no others, they can’t be compared to other cringy groups, no contest.
i am an army but i give a lot of kpop releases a fair chance and i love some random kpop songs here and there. bp music was never enough to catch me. the things they were singing about in 2016 (which is more like the concept and the aesthetic than an actual substance in the lyrics) are the same they were singing about in 2022. they are not involved in the writing process so i dont see any artistic progress. i fail to see them as anything but trained pretty people with production behind them. even when i like the beat sometimes, i get tired of the song really fast. i just cant sustain myself on the savage, im-not-like-the-other-girls concept over and over and over again (and when their fans come for bts' lyrics im just 😭 what)
I agree with you. I casually listen to other groups and find songs here and there from other groups, but they just aren't BTS. As for BP I do like a couple of their songs, but most just aren't for me.
Also an army, but I followed bp from their debut and in the beginning their songs did have variety, and then at some point YG decided that all their title tracks should have the same formula, sound and lyrics and that's what I don't understand - they have some great b-sides that are different - why not show off what they're capable of instead of giving us more of the same?? I don't blame the members because I know they aren't given any creative control, and honestly I'd be pissed if I spent half my childhood learning to dance and sing and making it through cut-throat competition against other trainees for the chance to debut only to end up as an Instagram brand ambassador who sings sometimes
@@VN2L also Rose can write no? I was interested in bp back when I stanned bts, I wonder what their music would sound like if they had creative control.
@@Lezz02 Yes she does! I was just thinking that today - if they were given all the resources to make their own music and all the creative control and given help so they could tell the stories/messages that they want to spread, I bet they'd end up with a really interesting album!
I love how youre giving them so much chance! And i gagged when you said “its like theyre embracing toxicity” cos FR youre on point. Their beats are insane, its so catchy, maybe thats why locals/international fans are getting hooked, especially kids who dont bother looking at their lyrics and its sad.
It's my first time hearing their songs and why are they so obsessed with being bad girls? All I heard was "gun", "dance with me Oppa" and what alse? "You're so hot'. Not my kind of music as well ngl. I feel like their music or lyrics sounds the same.
@@pearlsssn their lyrics has no substance at all. All they want is to compete with other ggs according to their lyrics. Lmao the bridge of ddu du ddu du is so funny. What you gonna do when I come, come through With that, that? Uh (uh), uh-huh (uh-huh) What you gonna do when I come, come through With that, that? Uh (uh), uh-huh (uh-huh) Like wtf does that even mean 😭😭😭
I’m not a fan of blackpink and never will understand the hype So thank you for your genuine reaction and not falling into the category of all these reactors who seem to like everything …?!
BlackPink ais known as a brand, not as artists or musicians. They release 2 songs every 2 years, so as not to lose sponsorships from luxury brands. When asked what hiphop was for them (which is supposed to be the basis of their music) they said "hip-hop is the spirit of cool vibes, swag, whatever words you can use" ignoring how big and significant HipHop really is. These girls always make the same song with meaningless empty lyrics, the music may seem powerful, but It is only a formula that they repeat in their discography of +7 years (that they use because it is easy money) because their producer does not strive to make something of better quality, 7 years in which they have had 0 artistic growth. BlackPink members don't even seem to care about music or art, other than being sponsored by luxury brands, It's public knowledge, their own fans know it, but they don't like to admit it out loud. Girls are probably good at their own styles of music, but it's something no one knows because you'll never see BP take risks. I'm telling you at once, if you're interested in good artists and good art, BlackPink isn't the right group.
"Blackpink doesnt care much about music or art" I believe Rosé is passionate in singing and music. There's a scene in their documentary where Rosé stays up and practices singing with her guitar, alone. She explained that it's been hard for her to find time to herself to practice, so whenever she has some time alone, she'd practice singing. She's also credited as a co-writer on her debut songs, "On The Ground" and "Gone". If you look at her UA-cam channel 'Rosesarerosie' you can see she's uploaded multiple song covers and she's been on singing 'shows' like Masked Singer and Begin Again. I can't speak about the other members because tbh I don't see the others being as passionate in music or singing as Rosé, Lisa is clearly passionate for dancing but she's not a prominent vocalist. Anyway, Blackpink as a whole doesn't seem that passionate in their craft nor are they involved much in the process, but Rosé seems to be the only member who actually genuinely likes music and enjoys singing.
Their fans will say YG hates women and don't let them get involved with music but YG literally had female producers and their other female artists who wrote their own songs. It's getting obvious by now that they're just not that interested in the music-making process
You do not need to like every group you come across, actually thank you for being honest 💜💜 BTS music is truly art to be appreciated and most ARMY do not like most Kpop.
true i listen to alot of music waiting to be impressed but only korean soloists and BTS has managed that so far i am really tired of the groups. and the fandoms are annoying. plus i love create freedom and i get that from bts and the solo singers i like
blackpink isnt for me either, so youre good :) some people (including my former self) felt the need to like other kpop groups if they like bts, later realizing that bts is extremely different, music wise and in general to other kpop groups, which is why i never find myself growing to like any group nearly as much as i have bts (that being said, if you do end up finding other groups you like thats amazing too, just be yourself)
I agree with you. I casually listen to other groups and find songs here and there from other groups, but they just aren't BTS. As for BP I do like a couple of their songs, but most just aren't for me.
Because Teddy (their main producer) keeps doing the same stuff. He produced better songs for 2NE1. Maybe their B-sides are better but honestly I just don't have the heart to put energy into them because I'm reminded that YG basically sidelined 2NE1 to make the prettier version (YG's actual words) with BP. They seem like nice girls though, so for their sake and their fans, I hope history doesn't repeat itself with this new group. Knowing YG's history though it wouldn't shock me.
I mean I hope Blackpink doesn't get pushed aside to focus on Babymonster. It's clear BP have talent but for whatever reason YG doesn't seem to want his girl groups reach their full potential. He holds them back then just moves on to the next thing. His own wife debuted in a YG girl group and he admitted he purposefully held back her career because he didn't want her getting too big.
You are so real for this and gained a subscriber. I’m another one of the people who immediately starts to doubt reactors if they put music like this on the same level as BTS, and I really appreciate reactors like you who are paying attention to lyrics and messages and talking about what has meaning to you. To give Blackpink their flowers, they are all super talented and seem like lovely girls…but they have so little creative input and their producer has a grand total of one move. It feels like half their lyrics are literal nonsense words (ddu ddu ya ya ya ya ratatata) to the point it feels like I’m listening to placeholder lyrics from a demo track lol. And the fact that they have so little input bums me out because I’ve found that the songs they do have input on resonate with me more, like Lovesick Girls or Rose’s solo song On the Ground. Ngl Rose’s song was so good that I was lowkey excited for their comeback and was there for the premiere of their new song Pink Venom and all I heard was “woh woh woh ah ah ah ratatata” and I was just like oh jeez not again. 😂 Two years between comebacks and that’s what you come up with, wow. Meanwhile there are BTS songs that I can literally credit with changing my life (Paradise, Tomorrow, RM’s recent song No.2 just to name the first three of many that popped into my head). All K-pop is not created equal. Keep doing you and bringing the honesty, it’s rare and refreshing.
From what I understand and from what I've heard they sure do make catchy, girl boss music, yet that material hasn't really changed and there's no substance. I get that it's not really the fault of the girls, their label has the most control, but even then, it's not about blame. It is as is, and I, personally, don't enjoy the music, I won't go out of my way to listen. Substance matters in the music I listen to, that's why I am a fan of BTS and a casual listener to the rest of kpop. Blackpink have yet to evolve their sound and they should because the concept is getting old. If you don't have the music then what do you truly have left? The visuals? The choreography? The vocals or rap? What do those matter if what you're saying doesn't have much meaning beyond 'I'm a boss b**ch and I have money'.
agree and its not even girl boss music when their lyrics are saying "i'm not like the other girls at all" and how much better they are than everyone and how rich and skinny they are. they could really make female empowerment anthems if they wanted to (like little mix) but they have no depth at all people only care about the visuals
@@allie-queen7083 in addition, their lyrics are written by men lol what’s “girlboss” about that 😭 Yeah blinks gonna token stan that one white woman in the credit but cannot deny majority of blackpink music is written by men
Before BTS even formed I always listen to songs from YG artist. And it's not a secret that YG is always famous for giving their artist the freedom to making their own songs. Bigbang, iKon, Winner, 2ne1, Akmu, se7en, Gummy (idk about Treasure tho bcz I never listen to them) but the company are really famous since gen2 for that aspect. The freedom for their music that SM artist doesn't have, YG artist have it. So I really don't understand why BP shows no improvement musically at all. If we talk about another girl group under YG, their former gg 2ne1 have really good selection of discography and their songs have good lyrics and meaning. So knowing that, I really don't know if I can blame the company
So I was introduced to Blackpink through my 30 year old daughter, and I was intrigued by their sound, and the rapping and dancing was cool, and I checked them out and like them, but I didn't stay with them because their producer Teddy Park, wrote and produced most if not all of their music, and there wasn't a lot of music. When I follow an artists, I need to hear their flavor in the music. And while Black Pink does an amazing job owning the music they sing and perform, I want to hear their own lyrics and sounds. I think the closest we got to that was Whistle, Lovesick girls, and Rose's Solo Work. Even Lisa's solo work, even though I couldn't find any writing credits on hers. I think Teddy really captured her essence in her solo stuff. I found BTS and through my recommendations because I was listening to Blackpink, and I found Korean artists I love through BTS, like Seo Taiji, Crush, IU, Taeyang (Big Bang), Tablo (Epik High), Paul Blanco, Cho Youjeen (Cherry Filter) and others, as well as Hip Hop/RnB Artists from the west that I would never have listened to if it weren't for BTS's influences and collaborations, like Erikah Badu, Wale, Warren G, Anderson Paak, Juice WRLD, and J-Cole. BTS are 100% genuine and have written and produced their own music from the beginning. And their messages and talents really resonated with me, so it was easy for me to become BTS ARMY. I found them in 2020 during the pandemic, and their music helped me through a lot of really tough times. The BE album was my first comeback with BTS, and amazingly enoug, it was the song J-Hope created with JIMIN - DIS-EASE - that got me to love their album BE. On first listen with no subtitles. It just hit me like a ray of light. So Dynamite Drew me in, Black Swan made me ARMY, and DIS-EASE made me a serious fan, and I checked out J-Hope's HOPE WORLD from there. And his music helped me also. Now I'm not hating on Blackpink, nor will I ever hate on them. They work hard and are amazing performance artists, but they just aren't for me. My daughter is a die hard Blackpink Fan, and I am happy for her. I support her love for them. It's all love and respect for music. And we also have to keep in mind that Blackpink comes from an agency that doesn't give the same artistic freedom to their artists, and even less to their female artists. But I'm hoping that will change.
It's ok if they aren't your cup of tea, me neither (I wont switch them off if a friend likes them but that's about it) they're production team seems to enjoy onomatopoeias, these surface level lyrics, and they stick to this general sound for the most part in a majority of their discography so if someone likes this kinda sound, awesome new fav artist. They are super catchy I totally give them that but they've never been my favorite based on lyrics, performance, or sound personally. I really like BTS and a handful of other kpop acts because of various aspects like unique music (dreamcatcher), performance(twice), or artistic journey/experimentation(txt, stray kids). Sometimes you just need a fun background song in a club and occasionally BP can fill that if I've got no other option lol
To start, thank you for your honestly! Rare in the reaction space Full transparency, BP only have 25 songs (30 if you include the 5 songs they’ve released as solo artists), and the vast majority of the group songs follow the formula you just saw in these 3. If you do another video with 3 songs, you’ll have listened to 25% of their entire group discography If you didn’t vibe with these 3, considered some of their better songs, I don’t know if it’s worth the time investment to listen to more?
Thank you for being honest, it's really, really refreshing. I also don't understand the giant hype with them. tbh most of their music irritates me, so I steer clear. if someone likes them, then cool, that's fine, but ... not a fan of them.
I’m glad my honesty didn’t piss folks off cuz I ain’t tryna bash on anyone Just not gonna lie to my community I could see the irritation part😭😭 lmao Yeah I don’t think the tribe is feeling this one lmaoooo
i super super respected this reaction a lot bc i feel like a lot of youtubers after the initial real reaction see the view count go up and then fake positive reactions and i feel like this cemented for me your authenticity and makes me actually appreciate your jhope journey even more as well. i look forward to more, you have a permanent viewer in me! keep being honest and keep it pushing!
It seems like a common thing. I thought since BTS was so amazing, it was becuz that's what kpop is like. So I excitedly went to find more in the hopes of finding dozens of new BTS-level groups. After several let downs, I realized it's just BTS
Bro Idk about Blackpink too. Their songs are so shallow and they always talk about the same shit and sometimes it doesn't make sense what they're trying to sing. It's as if they were just looking for a catchy chorus and beat and that's it. For the girl groups in kpop, the only one I can recommend is Mamamoo, they are very good and different from the others, just like BTS is in boy groups in my opinion.
That’s really what it was for me ngl😭 Don’t get me wrong it’s okay for some songs to be like that but all three songs were the same😭 When I first listened to jhopes 3 songs I not only got three different topics but three different blended genres that he somehow made sound hella good I’ve been spoiled😭😭 Thank you for the suggestions I’m gonna write that down🙏💯😁
I’m actually with you on this one, except that I’d also say twice is pretty good. They’re a definitive pop group but idk they’ve grown on me 🙃 I’ve been intrigued by Gidle recently but… I feel like they have.. growing to do- their potential might still be to come
YES!! They are the ones I mentioned XD 4 strong individual singers in 1 group. I love them. Not part of the fandom, but I do have their albums :| at least they are all the same size and look pretty in my shelf T_T
@@dysmissme7343 G-Idle are ok, Dreamcatcher too... I got recommended a group named FiftyFifty in YT and they are OK so far (only 3 songs)... that's how I discovered XG (Japanese) and I love them so far. Their vibes are immaculate imho. I do listen to a lot of things, but what's not it, it's not it T_T
to clear your doubts; no they have no story, no meaning or no depth to their songs or lyrics. all they sing about since their debut is how pretty, hot, bad, rich and savage they are and how they're better than other girls which btw I'm not holding the members accoutable for. they have 0 say in anything and are basically puppets for their company which is so sad, considering how talented they are if you're someone who's into actual artists and meaningful music, blackpink is not the band for you
I think what sets BTS aside is how involved they’ve always been in their music. It makes it feel genuine and there’s so much substance to it. You can feel their passion and dedication to their craft, which is making music
here they come the people recommending other groups just because you like bts… let me tell you sir, you will not find the same lyrical quality, versatile production, and genuine SOUL in these groups. there’s a reason why bts is the most standout and well known group from the kpop industry
When Yoongi said people ride on their name... he wasn't lying. Any fandom goes fast to check BTS reactions, even when they say they don't like them and they appear on their "spotify wrapped" (not only blinks) and start saying "if you like BTS, check out XXX"... WTF? It sounds so stupid to me in general, like if I like ABBA, must I like any other or all other Swedish quartets? Or if I like Maneskin, should I listen to all Italian rock bands? I still don't understand this with Korean music... So frustrating.
@@tribeloui2023 what the other person said is very true. The ceo basically said this group was just supposed to be better looking (which is hypocritical b/c he also said that after the first gg he wanted to focus on artistry so) but blackpink has been held back by their company in terms of creative control and writing. Still doesn't change the fact that the lyrics are pretty trash and focus on being bad bitches when it's mostly middle aged men writing them. Like one lyric is "born skinny bitch" written by a man and "I bring money to the table not your dinner" also written by a man. I would be curious just to see how you felt about lisa's solo songs money and lalisa (b/c personally I think they're quite disappointing considering she's the most popular member and according to fans the best performer/ace of the group. So I would just be curious to see what your reaction to those songs would be
@@tribeloui2023 haha I was actually going to say that I really hope you don't get flooded by angry Blinks, but IMO you should not be because you were still respectful to Blackpink. But I really get what you mean. I've tried listening to them also. Their songs can be catchy on a surface level but when I look at the lyrics there's nothing that made me stay. But I guess other people can relate more to them or maybe they can catch something I don't. Either way, again, thank you for giving your honest reaction! Looking forward to more of your reactions!
@@tribeloui2023 yep agreed. Tried getting into their music but it all sounds the same… generic manufactured. Their features don’t sound great either. They just got the good hair and makeup lol
@@annamendoza1990 lmao you know I’m going too Anna We’re gonna do jimin this week cuz his album is coming out and maybe some funny complications of the bts members and then we’re gonna see what RM is talking about I’m very excited 😁
My cousin is a big fan, he actually took me to see them live, well because we do everything together so I basically had no choice and he bought the tickets haha. It was very underwhelming to say the least. But nothing has pulled me in completely. They're alright just not for me.
Idk, once u listen to BTS, u will know they are beyond kpop, k-hiphop , k-rnb etc. they are a league of their own. and as idols, they are definitely heights above the rest of the pop groups. that’s why i personally find it tough to get deeply connected with others. perhaps for a few standout songs it's ok for casual workout music in the background, but for majority of them, it’s hard to admire a real depth of artistry in it. only very few other kpop groups (or maybe selected songs) have at base level a decent quality to their music. but for BTS, there are so many multifaceted factors that make them so undefinable yet so spectacular and they really make u *feel* things.
If you want Korean artist with substance on their lyrics and still their song catchy , I recommend you “Epik high “( a Korean hip hop group) IU, Heize and Dean ( the 3 of them are soloist with NICE voices ). And other ( with substance too) that is a group from Japan called One Ok Rock.
As an ARMY myself, i also hope u continue to be honest, even for BTS songs! as long as u respect and acknowledge the production and artistry of BTS songs (for sure there will be a good level of it since it’s BTS), it’s also ok to say that a specific BTS song is not what u usually bop to or u prefer other BTS songs or if u describe a BTS song as simply “it was okay”, “not bad’ or ‘pretty good’ for ur personal taste (coz we understand that it doesn’t always have to be ‘wow, so good, amazing!’ from a subjective POV) 😊 Don’t feel pressured to love every single BTS related song or to do so equally, is what i’m saying. This is so we can tell u continue to be genuine, and also which BTS songs u resonate with more or love more than others! it’s a way of getting to know u too. it’s also more enjoyable for us, really hope u read this!
I actually tend listen to solo artists more than big groups. BTS being the exception because of a lot of their lyrics and positive messages to fans. I like artists like IU, Younha, Ha Sung woon, AleXa, Jackson Wang, Henry, and more. Most of whom I discovered through BTS music. But BTS I find remains my favorite and I could listen to every song from BTS both as a group and their solos without stop, so.... yeah. I dont tend to dive too deep into other groups but I do like the occasional song from groups such as twice, exo, blackpink, stray kids, and more. I also like some txt songs. Mostly to vibe with. But BTS songs are so deep... I can't just vibe, I tend to dig deep and then try (and fail horribly) to sing with them lol
Oh you should give a try to Heize as well. That lady makes such great music. You can try "Happen". I am suggesting this cuz you stated you like soloists more.
Yeah.... I feel kinda bad saying it but BP just isn't quality music. Just isn't. BTS is top of the line, BP is what people want to THINK is top of the line because the girls are pretty and nice. Their music isn't good. Their performances aren't good. They don't even like doing music- THEY DON'T EVEN DO THE MUSIC AT ALL. They aren't involved in the process even a little bit, let alone producing and writing their own songs. And their fans are just... horrible people. Not nice. They're very violent towards other girl groups, and violent towards female fans of boy groups (especially BTS). Glad to see a genuine reaction for a change.
that’s why we armys always try to separate bts from kpop, not because of supremacy feel but because their music stands for a lot more than for what kpop stands for
also a lot of the "dislike" surrounding them is pointed at the company, not the BP members the company controls every aspect of their music and don't give the members artistic freedom
@@janae8747 believe me, I don’t dislike BP members, but why do people keep mentioning the lack of artistic freedom like it’s forced upon them? Didn’t they renew their contracts with YG voluntarily? If they don’t like how they’re being handled or what direction their career went, they can definitely do something about it. These are people with agency and their own minds, I would hope. I just don’t get this narrative.
@@annamendoza1990 mm i may have worded it wrong. im not saying the company controls the members, like forces them. but the company is 100% behind the group's songs and image, and i think from the beginning the members knew they were just there to fill a role. yes they're choosing to go along with it, but they themselves are not writing these songs or involved in ANY of the creative process. that's all up to the label and ig they're fine with that lol
@@janae8747 To me it just seems like they are fine with the easy way. They have to do bare minimum which is record the song, shoot the mv, do promotions and perform. The rest is done by their team. From making songs, choreographing the dance, preparing sets, camera, editing, music editing. All they have to do is put out a news that they are making a comeback and the fans will fall for it.
@@wildfictions705 true. i guess i like giving idols the benefit of the doubt because you never know what goes on behind close doors between them and their label like im aware that they could be 100% complicit and okay with how their group is, but i also hold some sympathy(?) in case they dont have much say to what their music/image is
All bp songs just based on same formula - wannabe bad bitch, I'm savage,I don't care about nobody, I'm rich with money I can do everything, you're a nobody to me which screams toxicity but for them fans it's being powerful woman and feminists that's all with the same catchy beats and same high tuning
kpop fans always try to sneak their faves in once reactors put their eyes on bts 😭 imo bts is just on a whole different level when it comes to the quality of their lyrics and beats, u can really resonate w what they r saying and feel the emotion behind what they do which is what i think separates them from how superficial the kpop industry can be, but then again everyone got their own taste and stuff so yeah 🤷🏽♀️
tbh, ARMY in general is very wary of reactors who start reviewing BTS then jump to other groups once they start getting traction and honestly, I was a bit hesitant when I saw the BP video but still gave it a shot I really appreciate your honesty and genuineness on this video. as an avid music lover, I too listen to BP. their beats are catchy not gonna lie. it’s a tune that gets you going while on the gym or running etc. but a moment of realization comes after.. what happens after the catchy tunes? with a lot of music coming out, the message of the song will always come first over a catchy tune. it just so happens that BTS is strong on both their lyricism and their beats. thank you for your honesty.
I think what truly differentiates a true artist is the ability to perform live. I don't know how you would manage to stay neutral if you watched their live performance. Thank you for staying true to yourself.
You know what’s funny that I’ve noticed.. I have never seen a reactor, react to a bp live performance. It is always their mv and they are getting recommended to react to
@@eveyy_xo true i have noticed that. only die hard fans who because fans before doing the performances so that it didn´t matter to them if they suck...
@@eveyy_xo oh one guy did. he is a performer and mostly watch the lives to analyse it and he watched BP and agree that it is a mess. mad respect to him.
New subscriber here, just want to say thanks for being so real! This group is not for me either, they're certainly beautiful girls who have talent in performing. Hopefully one day their creativity will be able to shine, not something that is on the forefront in their current arrangement. When a performer is acting a part constructed & voiced primarily by others often times I just can't relate, it most times lacks depth. The men of Bangtan are all over their work, their signature is strong, uniquely their own, I thank them every day for their resonating messages & catalog of work. This is why I'm an ARMY, and not fan of most KPop. The difference is truly vast. Looking forward to checking out your past & future videos! 💜
unfortunately for performance some of them have gotten lazy - not in synch, half hearted moves, lipsynching. they dont even look like they want to be on stage most of the time. yet people still go to their high priced concerts and say that they are the best and giving excuses such as "not enough preparation time".
Blackpink’s company is known for being a “hip hop” company and I think that’s a major issue, coz they see hip hop as a genre when it’s a whole culture, like if you’re Korean and put some cornrolls and start “rapping” and that’s it… BP is more of performers than musicians honestly and I’m saying this as a fan, they’re a brand and focused on visuals, if you’re into real artistry they’re definitely not gonna be ur cup of tea
Big facts. The songs are supported by flashy music videos and lots of colors, but the songs alone are not very substantial. And in my own opinion, the rappers haven't shown that they are versatile in their abilities like some others
I'm so grateful for your honesty! Lots of reactors are afraid to be honest when it comes to kpop groups because of their fans. But the real fans appreciate honesty as long as your respectful of the artist's talents. Thank you so much!
The thing about kpop is that its pageantry at it's core. The medium is music, but the point is the presentation. The fashion, the synchronization, the big production sets and scenes, the execution of facial expressions...the music is really just something to make the aesthetic presentation more entertaining. And you can tell because the music is often really generic, the lyrics are barely there (mostly sound effects, honestly), and the production is noisy and redundant. And there's not even a lot of weight or attention paid to vocal delivery or rap. Most groups don't even perform live because they don't have to. They're not singers, they're idols. There are some groups that are great at the presentation aspect. A ton of them actually. And personally, I enjoy pageantry most of the time and I recognize the attention to detail it takes. It's impressive what some of these kpop groups do. But when it comes to my music, I just need something more. And very few groups have been able to check that box for me. BTS is the only group I stan (and a lot of ARMYs are that way). Aside from them, the only two groups I've invested in at all are TXT (the only other group from BTS' label - "BTS' Little Brothers) and Mamamoo (a group of women who are all incredible vocalists who have a lot of control over their music). Anyway, I just appreciate you keeping it real. Every reactor who starts with BTS gets recommended other groups in the comments and then they react to all of them the same and it feels so disingenuous. It's entirely possible they like them all. But if you're treating them like they're the same thing...that's just questionable.
You’re valid for this, tbh after listening to Bts I tried giving some other groups a chance but I also feel like since Bts is so different and experiments w so many genres, that no group can uphold to that and if they do I haven’t seen one that can’t deliver it the way Bts does.
I reacted with u and now my head hurts, but I really appreciate u keepin it genuine, just do u man and love what u said at the end made me tear up a little 😆
Yeah, I agree with what people here said. Liking BTS does not = liking Kpop. There are other SK artists (not necessarily Kpop) that are good too, I’m discovering them as I go. But just because I like some doesn’t mean I’m a Kpop enthusiast. I like a lot of music and genres.
@@roses_are_rosee6676 I'm mad over a songwriter/CEO who disbanded his own GG to marry a member who is only 19 years old and who writes overly sexual lyrics in a debut track/tracks when you really look and research deep into it. And this GG Blackpink's audience demographic is supposed to be little girls.
Wow, this earned you a subscriber. I’m not used to this honesty. Most people start with BTS, then kpoppies will flood the comment section pressuring people to react to their favs, because in their minds “kpop” is a group project and if you like one then you must like them all. Reactors go on to claim liking EVERY.SINGLE.SONG and going on about how amazing they are even though it’s obviously only for views, then suddenly proclaiming to be a part of each fandom……it’s like clockwork. Then all of the sudden here you are actually admitting to not liking it? Refreshing. I’m not saying I’m gonna follow just because you didn’t like a bp song lol, it’s just that it’s that rare to find an honest reactor. The girls are pretty, but that’s about it. For me anyways. Don’t hate them, don’t like them, they’re just there. We don’t expect people to love every single BTS song, as long as they’re respected I’m good.
I love your honesty, please dont change it and lie about liking something as its not needed... your opinion is what we want to hear and i love the honesty you show ❤
It's really hard to get into kpop once you start with BTS they kinda set the standard once you start with them. If you're really focused on rap with a message. You're gonna have to stray from kpop and go to Khiphop. But groups in kpop I would say Stray Kids,Seventeen and XG is as close as you'll get to self produced rap and Gidle kinda they only have 1 member who really raps raps and she produces most of their music.
I don't mind reactors getting into kpop but I don't like when they loe about things. I like some bp songs if i need something to vibe to but i really won't sit down and claim oh they're the best gg or group etc I don't think it's genuine
I find some of their songs catchy. What stood out to me was you saying they seem to embrace the toxicity. A lot of their lyrics are centered on putting other women down by hyping up their own beautiful or weight or self worth. The more I listened the more it stood out to me, and I'm just not into that vibe. Their entire theme are superficial, bright, visually catchy, costumes and backdrops. Enjoying the BTS rabbit hole! At some point would love to see what you think of ATEEZ and their newer songs Guerilla and Halazia! Super cool group with a very powerful concept and inner storyline.
The songwriter for typa girl said she wrote it as an anthem to hype yourself up when singing. It’s a song you sing to yourself when getting ready for he club or something not about anyone else. That’s like saying I’m putting down cats because I say I like dogs.
@@jadewithers7073 that boggles my mind cause I have never gotten that vibe. There is literally a lyric about having a good body and being rich and as someone who has neither of those I do not feel empowered
what? then you just a anti who doesn’t like bp I mean you don’t have to like them but the disrespect? Lisa is one of the best f dancers Jennie is one of the best f rappers Rosé is one of the best female vocalists how can you guys be that disrespectful? I don’t understand
@@roses_are_rosee6676They don't make an effort in their music. Solo releases only contain 2 songs and aren't even made by them. There is no sincerity, and some of their lyrics are problematic and harmful. Even some of their live performances are underwhelming. Their ways to promote and win awards isn't honest either. That is why people can't respect them as artists. It's not surprising that people think they are overrated. If there is anything impressive about them, it's their looks.
@@roses_are_rosee6676 all of these things are subjective. if they are the best to you, great. but thats not a fact, there are far better dancers, rappers and singers out there and thats fine. no need to get so mad over someones opinion. and no, thats not making them a 'hater.' they model more than they release music, whats disrespectful about pointing that out?
Since you seen interested in other kpop groups, I'd like to recommend some videos to understand the concept of kpop itself: "Kpop history in 20 minutes" by DKDKTV, and "BTS vs kpop: a video essay" by bby gang mag Have a great day 💜
Oh, and I could add "why army's don't like kpop" by boracity magazine, but even though I like her, I should put a disclaimer because sometimes she seems to be biased towards BTS (makes sense since she is an ARMY) but she makes well informed videos and they are more updated
People don't really understand why everyone is biased with BTS..They say BTS is overrated no BTS is that one group who changed the trajectory of Kpop in general.. You will hear a lot of kpop artists and they all have the same overused agenda of Visuals in MV and efforts to make the song trendy to make their idols go viral.. But what BTS focuses on is music in general and the long run of it.. Yeah they do have some trendy songs but for most part BTS make music that will last for a lifetime and you won't lose the feeling no matter how many times you come back to it.. Their music will give the same comfort and same energy it did when you heard it for the first time.. Meanwhile kpop is a contractual industry they focus on making Idols not artists so once the artist leaves just like once the trend is over and you comeback the music sounds noisy and you keep wondering what made you like it in the first place. Because trends keep changing new artist will come up with more catchy phrases and sounds.. But with BTS we don't have to worry about that.. I'm not targeting anyone but yeah Kpop is versatile you will find all shorts of genre of music but at the same time the algorithm and the idea of serving Visuals remains the same.. Still to this date Kpop works with K beauty standards and visuals in general and that will keep affecting the music this industry creates..It will take decades and decades to find a group half as like BTS.
I'm a music lover so there are many elements and songs in kpop that i love. There are songs that I enjoy very very much. I can totally see why bp are popular too. Said that, bts to me are in another different level, like to me their artistry is just up there, I've been a music fan since I remember, I listen to many geners but bts is the only act that I've ever feel to call myself a fan. They are just one act in time kind of thing
That’s the thing with most Kpop groups, you’ll never know what to expect until you hear it yourself, for example there are groups that only do rock, and some groups that only do rap, pop. So it’s perfectly fine not to like every single group you come across. That being said normally not all songs sound the same.
You're really funny and entertaining and I love that. I also love your honesty, because it's rare in reactors. I've tried to like BP, yet after seven years haven't found one song in their very scant discography that isn't lacking for me. I don't think their music justifies their popularity - another topic for another day. Enjoy your trip down BTS's rabbit hole. I'll be here to follow you. They will enrich your life, promise. Borahae 💜
Valid reaction to BP! Usually they are a hit or miss group. I personally have the same reaction to them. TWICE and NewJeans are two other KPOP girl groups that make good music! NewJeans is a new group. I think they have 6 songs total that all have music videos! Their songs/choreographies are really popular right now! I will say that no other group really compares to BTS though! I’m really enjoying your videos! 😁💜 Edit: I’d love to see your reaction to the albums “Indigo” by RM and “D-2” by Agust D! Also RM recently did a collaboration called “Smoke Sprite” that I think you would really enjoy! 😊
I have never been a fan of Twice, idk they just aren't for me (however I welcome suggestions). I do however have liked a few of NewJeans songs like: OMG, Attention, and Hype Boy
@@AJP.OT7 same twice music sounds boring and it all sounds the same to me. i really can´t tell the songs apart. not hating on the girls just not for me
Love a genuine honest reaction! I’m not even a fan of this group or like their songs but I appreciate that you gave your honest reaction without being rude or hateful. Some music is just not for everybody and sometimes even requires some constructive criticism. If you reacted to my favorite group (BTS) and said you didn’t like a song for whatever reason I’d totally respect that. I get so tired of seeing so many reactors that super “loves” every song an artist puts out and it just seems fake sometimes. I know every once in a while we might not vibe to something and that’s ok. As long as we’re still being respectful to the artist.
You Kpop stans can't be fr recommending Blackpink to a hip-hop fan who loves lyrics, who loves artists who write their own lyrics and producing their own beats?? Stop that. Just because people consider BTS as Kpop doesn't mean that others will also like other Kpop groups.
Blackpink isn't for me. I tried. I'd be a solo stan if anything, and nobody wants a solo stan in their group fandom spaces. HOWEVER, in my post-BTS deep dive of kpop, there is one group I kept. Mamamoo. I recommend highly. I get to see them live for the first time this summer in Atlanta, and I'm beside myself lol
D4 was my first k-pop song.. it still gives chills. Lol I love the girls .. like their beats, how they sound or their music in general.. dunno about the lyrics. And definitely don't like their dishonest ways to grab awards but whatever ig
I'm so glad you're stasying honest with us Loui, cause then it means way more when you DO like something. Based on your reactions so far and how lyrics have been important to you, I think I would have been a bit disappointed if you had really loved Blackpink to the same extent cause I don't feel like they bring it to the same level as BTS across multiple facets. So I totally agree with you Loui, their lyrics are pretty vapid so even when the beats are hard AF I just can't with the "we're bad bitches, money, brand names, random sounds you want me." ... eeeeeeehn I'M GOOD my time is precious lol
There isn't a better suggestion for BlackPink, genuinely. And if you find their lyrics so weird, BlackPink dont write nor involve in anything in their songs. These girls sing the songs they received and most of them were written by men who wants to build a "bad" girl group. All looks, no substance. Members are known more for their fashion deals than being singer. Even their latest release, Shut Down, is still singing about how cool they are, not any different from their debut song ddudduddu.
i agree its trendy for sure to listen to but i struggle with the lack of substance to them as artists. i think they definitely fit a certain aesthetic that is fun and appealing. its just not an artist that you get tied to because of the music they create. its more their brand.
For me I first discovered BTS through their music videos. I loved their music. Then my friend whos a kpop fan suggested me to listen to other kpop groups and I did. But honestly I did not like any of them. BTS kinda set the standards too high for me... Especially their relatable lyrics... I realized kpop is not my thing but I love BTS. I love your honest reactions
I always say my I am so glad my intro into kpop was BTS. Although I will admit that I am spoiled by them and their quality that I have found it hard to like many other groups more than at a superficial level although there are a handful. I won’t mention them so you can find your own way to them if you choose, as I did. 😊 BP, I tried a couple of times to see what the hype was about. And while there may be a catchy line here and there, it really doesn’t do it for me personally. It’s ok for people to not like songs, whether it’s BP, BTS or any other group or artist as long as people aren’t disrespectful about it. Unfortunately, that happens A LOT. Anyway, I have been enjoying your reactions. I appreciate the honesty while not being disrespectful. Looking forward to what you watch next.
Appreciate the honesty :) I feel the same way. Their songs are catchy and can be good for simple enjoyment but thrs not too much substance unfortunately. It's not the girls fault it's a label thing and well kind of a kpop thing though not always. I'm army and there are few kpop groups I really enjoy enough to keep coming back to. Mamamoo have amazing talent and beautiful songs, stray kids are very experimental with their sound ( which can be hit r miss but i find more hits then misses generally) and big bang because they were a group I enjoyed before finding bts. The things these groups have in common is their personal involvement in their music. They have much more creative control and substance ( plus the music is fantastic. ) I hope no one is upset with your honesty. Ofc the music you enjoy and what you react to is completely your choice and prerogative. 💜
Sir.........do u know how many ppl, how many reactors will sit and fake a reaction to dem girls bcaz they want money or are scared of back lash from fans ???? U just got my sub. THANK U for being honest.
This is interesting...I find the comment section super respectful. Ain't gonna lie that's unusual below a reactor that doesn't like BP. You were really respect bruh so that may be why. Every music has it's selected ears this just isn't for your ears and that's okay.

For some reason a handful of ppl think that liking bts in any capacity = liking kpop 😭 kpop is more of an industry than a genre in my opinion; there’s too much variety. The only thing that ties them together is their ethnicity & high focus on visuals. This doesn’t really have much to do with your video, it’s just a peeve I have when ppl immediately recommend other kpop acts to someone getting into bts 💀 Blackpink have some great songs in all honesty, they’re just not my style.
Anyways! Love your energy as always. You make everything enjoyable ^-^
Well said Joey!
My thing is what exactly is K-pop cuz I thought it was a genre
But you’re saying it’s more of an industry which lowkey I can see now that I’m thinking about it
I have no idea what world Ive stepped into 😭😭😭
@@tribeloui2023 Suga of BTS described it as "integrated content", and not a genre, actually. To quote him in a Q&A at the Grammy Museum, he said: “‘K-pop includes not just the music, but the clothes, the makeup, the choreography…all these elements I think sort of amalgamate together in a visual and auditory content package, that I think sets it apart from other music or maybe other genres so again, as I said, rather than approach K-pop as it’s own genre I think approaching it as this integration of different content would be better.”
Well said- and as an addition, Bts are definitely outliers in kpop
In terms of style and how involved they are with their sound, style and the concepts in their lyrics
@Tribe Loui if you want a perspective on kpop and bts and how they contrast I recommend the video by 'boracity magazine' on youtube called "Why most army's don't like kpop". It gives a lot of insight on where the differences lie and her videos are informative for anyone really. I recommend you check that vide out.
once reactors start reacting to BTS, fans from other groups will lure you into reacting to their groups too 😅 thanks for keeping it honest dude. excited to watch you go deeper into BTS' discography.
ikr! and then kpoppies deny bts’ global influence when most western fans recognize kpop thanks to bts🤨
Periodt
they're waaay too confident lol
BTS discography is SO interesting, SO GOOD.
Exactly. They always want what BTS have.
I saw one stray ( i don't know what their fans are called).going round begging BTS reactors to react to Straykids.
These fandoms do too much.
Yooo I was so scared when I realized u reacted to BP, I thought I was about to watch another "sincere reactor" suddenly loving Kpop without actually understanding how different is their industrial genre and BTS genre. As a fandom we are kinda used to like some reactors and then watching them react to everything saying they are great and life changing. It's just- nah, that's not true. The visuals are amazing bc that's the esencial thing in kpop, the catchy rythym too. The lyricsm? The instruments? The message? U can't find that everywhere. I've been following your journey with BTS since u reacted to hobi + j-cole and, of course, if u want to, it'd be great if you discover more korean artist u could like. U can find some out there freaking talented. Just stay real and we'll keep loving your reactions. Peace ♡

I couldn’t grasp onto anything
@@tribeloui2023 It's not gonna get any better lol. Their songs generally only cover 3 main topics: being hot, being rich, being badass. Pick one you really like and stick to it, extended exposure makes the magic wear off and you start to notice the patterns in their song structure. Jennie verse, Lisa verse, Rose/Jisoo pre-chorus, beat build up, empty chorus with 2 repeated onomatopoeia phrases. Rinse, repeat

💀 It’s cool to see someone keep it real and not just try to please the masses
i am an army but i give a lot of kpop releases a fair chance and i love some random kpop songs here and there. bp music was never enough to catch me. the things they were singing about in 2016 (which is more like the concept and the aesthetic than an actual substance in the lyrics) are the same they were singing about in 2022. they are not involved in the writing process so i dont see any artistic progress. i fail to see them as anything but trained pretty people with production behind them. even when i like the beat sometimes, i get tired of the song really fast. i just cant sustain myself on the savage, im-not-like-the-other-girls concept over and over and over again
(and when their fans come for bts' lyrics im just 😭 what)
I agree with you. I casually listen to other groups and find songs here and there from other groups, but they just aren't BTS. As for BP I do like a couple of their songs, but most just aren't for me.
ur so real for this
Also an army, but I followed bp from their debut and in the beginning their songs did have variety, and then at some point YG decided that all their title tracks should have the same formula, sound and lyrics and that's what I don't understand - they have some great b-sides that are different - why not show off what they're capable of instead of giving us more of the same?? I don't blame the members because I know they aren't given any creative control, and honestly I'd be pissed if I spent half my childhood learning to dance and sing and making it through cut-throat competition against other trainees for the chance to debut only to end up as an Instagram brand ambassador who sings sometimes
@@VN2L also Rose can write no? I was interested in bp back when I stanned bts, I wonder what their music would sound like if they had creative control.
@@Lezz02 Yes she does! I was just thinking that today - if they were given all the resources to make their own music and all the creative control and given help so they could tell the stories/messages that they want to spread, I bet they'd end up with a really interesting album!

I love how youre giving them so much chance! And i gagged when you said “its like theyre embracing toxicity” cos FR youre on point. Their beats are insane, its so catchy, maybe thats why locals/international fans are getting hooked, especially kids who dont bother looking at their lyrics and its sad.
It's my first time hearing their songs and why are they so obsessed with being bad girls? All I heard was "gun", "dance with me Oppa" and what alse? "You're so hot'. Not my kind of music as well ngl. I feel like their music or lyrics sounds the same.

So thank you for your genuine reaction and not falling into the category of all these reactors who seem to like everything …?!
BlackPink ais known as a brand, not as artists or musicians. They release 2 songs every 2 years, so as not to lose sponsorships from luxury brands.
When asked what hiphop was for them (which is supposed to be the basis of their music) they said "hip-hop is the spirit of cool vibes, swag, whatever words you can use" ignoring how big and significant HipHop really is.
These girls always make the same song with meaningless empty lyrics, the music may seem powerful, but It is only a formula that they repeat in their discography of +7 years (that they use because it is easy money) because their producer does not strive to make something of better quality, 7 years in which they have had 0 artistic growth. BlackPink members don't even seem to care about music or art, other than being sponsored by luxury brands, It's public knowledge, their own fans know it, but they don't like to admit it out loud.
Girls are probably good at their own styles of music, but it's something no one knows because you'll never see BP take risks.
I'm telling you at once, if you're interested in good artists and good art, BlackPink isn't the right group.
Periodt...well said they are just ig models lol
Exactly I think the only good thing about them is how the their company HYPE them , YG is very good when it comes to marketing that its…
Well spoken
"Blackpink doesnt care much about music or art" I believe Rosé is passionate in singing and music. There's a scene in their documentary where Rosé stays up and practices singing with her guitar, alone. She explained that it's been hard for her to find time to herself to practice, so whenever she has some time alone, she'd practice singing. She's also credited as a co-writer on her debut songs, "On The Ground" and "Gone". If you look at her UA-cam channel 'Rosesarerosie' you can see she's uploaded multiple song covers and she's been on singing 'shows' like Masked Singer and Begin Again.
I can't speak about the other members because tbh I don't see the others being as passionate in music or singing as Rosé, Lisa is clearly passionate for dancing but she's not a prominent vocalist.
Anyway, Blackpink as a whole doesn't seem that passionate in their craft nor are they involved much in the process, but Rosé seems to be the only member who actually genuinely likes music and enjoys singing.
Their fans will say YG hates women and don't let them get involved with music but YG literally had female producers and their other female artists who wrote their own songs. It's getting obvious by now that they're just not that interested in the music-making process
People listen to BTS and think others in k-pop are equally good😂
You do not need to like every group you come across, actually thank you for being honest 💜💜 BTS music is truly art to be appreciated and most ARMY do not like most Kpop.
true i listen to alot of music waiting to be impressed but only korean soloists and BTS has managed that so far i am really tired of the groups. and the fandoms are annoying. plus i love create freedom and i get that from bts and the solo singers i like
blackpink isnt for me either, so youre good :) some people (including my former self) felt the need to like other kpop groups if they like bts, later realizing that bts is extremely different, music wise and in general to other kpop groups, which is why i never find myself growing to like any group nearly as much as i have bts (that being said, if you do end up finding other groups you like thats amazing too, just be yourself)
I agree with you. I casually listen to other groups and find songs here and there from other groups, but they just aren't BTS. As for BP I do like a couple of their songs, but most just aren't for me.
Is it just me or do all their songs sound the same lol
😭😭😭 literally yes lmao
Because Teddy (their main producer) keeps doing the same stuff. He produced better songs for 2NE1. Maybe their B-sides are better but honestly I just don't have the heart to put energy into them because I'm reminded that YG basically sidelined 2NE1 to make the prettier version (YG's actual words) with BP. They seem like nice girls though, so for their sake and their fans, I hope history doesn't repeat itself with this new group. Knowing YG's history though it wouldn't shock me.
Well there are two types
There are the loud ones and then there are the ballads.
@@bayoublackjack
Wdym by history repeating itself?
Replacing blackpink with an “even prettier” version??
I mean I hope Blackpink doesn't get pushed aside to focus on Babymonster. It's clear BP have talent but for whatever reason YG doesn't seem to want his girl groups reach their full potential. He holds them back then just moves on to the next thing.
His own wife debuted in a YG girl group and he admitted he purposefully held back her career because he didn't want her getting too big.
You are so real for this and gained a subscriber. I’m another one of the people who immediately starts to doubt reactors if they put music like this on the same level as BTS, and I really appreciate reactors like you who are paying attention to lyrics and messages and talking about what has meaning to you. To give Blackpink their flowers, they are all super talented and seem like lovely girls…but they have so little creative input and their producer has a grand total of one move. It feels like half their lyrics are literal nonsense words (ddu ddu ya ya ya ya ratatata) to the point it feels like I’m listening to placeholder lyrics from a demo track lol. And the fact that they have so little input bums me out because I’ve found that the songs they do have input on resonate with me more, like Lovesick Girls or Rose’s solo song On the Ground. Ngl Rose’s song was so good that I was lowkey excited for their comeback and was there for the premiere of their new song Pink Venom and all I heard was “woh woh woh ah ah ah ratatata” and I was just like oh jeez not again. 😂 Two years between comebacks and that’s what you come up with, wow. Meanwhile there are BTS songs that I can literally credit with changing my life (Paradise, Tomorrow, RM’s recent song No.2 just to name the first three of many that popped into my head). All K-pop is not created equal. Keep doing you and bringing the honesty, it’s rare and refreshing.
From what I understand and from what I've heard they sure do make catchy, girl boss music, yet that material hasn't really changed and there's no substance. I get that it's not really the fault of the girls, their label has the most control, but even then, it's not about blame. It is as is, and I, personally, don't enjoy the music, I won't go out of my way to listen. Substance matters in the music I listen to, that's why I am a fan of BTS and a casual listener to the rest of kpop. Blackpink have yet to evolve their sound and they should because the concept is getting old. If you don't have the music then what do you truly have left? The visuals? The choreography? The vocals or rap? What do those matter if what you're saying doesn't have much meaning beyond 'I'm a boss b**ch and I have money'.
agree and its not even girl boss music when their lyrics are saying "i'm not like the other girls at all" and how much better they are than everyone and how rich and skinny they are. they could really make female empowerment anthems if they wanted to (like little mix) but they have no depth at all people only care about the visuals
@@allie-queen7083 in addition, their lyrics are written by men lol what’s “girlboss” about that 😭 Yeah blinks gonna token stan that one white woman in the credit but cannot deny majority of blackpink music is written by men
Before BTS even formed I always listen to songs from YG artist. And it's not a secret that YG is always famous for giving their artist the freedom to making their own songs. Bigbang, iKon, Winner, 2ne1, Akmu, se7en, Gummy (idk about Treasure tho bcz I never listen to them) but the company are really famous since gen2 for that aspect. The freedom for their music that SM artist doesn't have, YG artist have it. So I really don't understand why BP shows no improvement musically at all.
If we talk about another girl group under YG, their former gg 2ne1 have really good selection of discography and their songs have good lyrics and meaning. So knowing that, I really don't know if I can blame the company
So I was introduced to Blackpink through my 30 year old daughter, and I was intrigued by their sound, and the rapping and dancing was cool, and I checked them out and like them, but I didn't stay with them because their producer Teddy Park, wrote and produced most if not all of their music, and there wasn't a lot of music. When I follow an artists, I need to hear their flavor in the music. And while Black Pink does an amazing job owning the music they sing and perform, I want to hear their own lyrics and sounds. I think the closest we got to that was Whistle, Lovesick girls, and Rose's Solo Work. Even Lisa's solo work, even though I couldn't find any writing credits on hers. I think Teddy really captured her essence in her solo stuff.
I found BTS and through my recommendations because I was listening to Blackpink, and I found Korean artists I love through BTS, like Seo Taiji, Crush, IU, Taeyang (Big Bang), Tablo (Epik High), Paul Blanco, Cho Youjeen (Cherry Filter) and others, as well as Hip Hop/RnB Artists from the west that I would never have listened to if it weren't for BTS's influences and collaborations, like Erikah Badu, Wale, Warren G, Anderson Paak, Juice WRLD, and J-Cole.
BTS are 100% genuine and have written and produced their own music from the beginning. And their messages and talents really resonated with me, so it was easy for me to become BTS ARMY. I found them in 2020 during the pandemic, and their music helped me through a lot of really tough times. The BE album was my first comeback with BTS, and amazingly enoug, it was the song J-Hope created with JIMIN - DIS-EASE - that got me to love their album BE. On first listen with no subtitles. It just hit me like a ray of light. So Dynamite Drew me in, Black Swan made me ARMY, and DIS-EASE made me a serious fan, and I checked out J-Hope's HOPE WORLD from there. And his music helped me also.
Now I'm not hating on Blackpink, nor will I ever hate on them. They work hard and are amazing performance artists, but they just aren't for me. My daughter is a die hard Blackpink Fan, and I am happy for her. I support her love for them. It's all love and respect for music. And we also have to keep in mind that Blackpink comes from an agency that doesn't give the same artistic freedom to their artists, and even less to their female artists. But I'm hoping that will change.
you are so real for bts and iu. iu is the k pop princess with one of the most alluring voices in kpop. i love her so much
Music lovers always fell in love with BTS and you're in right place
It's ok if they aren't your cup of tea, me neither (I wont switch them off if a friend likes them but that's about it) they're production team seems to enjoy onomatopoeias, these surface level lyrics, and they stick to this general sound for the most part in a majority of their discography so if someone likes this kinda sound, awesome new fav artist. They are super catchy I totally give them that but they've never been my favorite based on lyrics, performance, or sound personally. I really like BTS and a handful of other kpop acts because of various aspects like unique music (dreamcatcher), performance(twice), or artistic journey/experimentation(txt, stray kids). Sometimes you just need a fun background song in a club and occasionally BP can fill that if I've got no other option lol
I think the one other group I've found outside of BTS that I enjoy, is The Rose! I highly recommend checking them out 🙂
your comment was on perfect point 👌
@@morganmariex I second that.
@@morganmariex coz they are not kpop
@@nadiaferdous6285 I know that, I didn't say they were lol.
To start, thank you for your honestly! Rare in the reaction space
Full transparency, BP only have 25 songs (30 if you include the 5 songs they’ve released as solo artists), and the vast majority of the group songs follow the formula you just saw in these 3.
If you do another video with 3 songs, you’ll have listened to 25% of their entire group discography
If you didn’t vibe with these 3, considered some of their better songs, I don’t know if it’s worth the time investment to listen to more?
bp just has bad discography, nothing more to it
@@v4lurie true. They have like 2 songs to my knowledge that aren’t this radio friendly, dance friendly and superficial sound
Thank you for being honest, it's really, really refreshing. I also don't understand the giant hype with them. tbh most of their music irritates me, so I steer clear. if someone likes them, then cool, that's fine, but ... not a fan of them.
I’m glad my honesty didn’t piss folks off cuz I ain’t tryna bash on anyone
Just not gonna lie to my community
I could see the irritation part😭😭 lmao
Yeah I don’t think the tribe is feeling this one lmaoooo
It’s bcuz their music has no actual content behind it, sorry I’m not a fan either. Thnx for your honest reaction.
It irritates me too lol
Couldn't have said it better. Its so irritating
Ditto! Lol
i super super respected this reaction a lot bc i feel like a lot of youtubers after the initial real reaction see the view count go up and then fake positive reactions and i feel like this cemented for me your authenticity and makes me actually appreciate your jhope journey even more as well. i look forward to more, you have a permanent viewer in me! keep being honest and keep it pushing!
It seems like a common thing. I thought since BTS was so amazing, it was becuz that's what kpop is like. So I excitedly went to find more in the hopes of finding dozens of new BTS-level groups. After several let downs, I realized it's just BTS
Respect that you spoke honestly and nicely too. No one can hate that.
Bro Idk about Blackpink too. Their songs are so shallow and they always talk about the same shit and sometimes it doesn't make sense what they're trying to sing. It's as if they were just looking for a catchy chorus and beat and that's it.
For the girl groups in kpop, the only one I can recommend is Mamamoo, they are very good and different from the others, just like BTS is in boy groups in my opinion.
That’s really what it was for me ngl😭
Don’t get me wrong it’s okay for some songs to be like that but all three songs were the same😭
When I first listened to jhopes 3 songs
I not only got three different topics but three different blended genres that he somehow made sound hella good
I’ve been spoiled😭😭
Thank you for the suggestions I’m gonna write that down🙏💯😁
K-girl groups Mamamoo without a doubt, for a small sample of their songs you can watch Mamamoo Killing voice (put subtitles on)
I’m actually with you on this one, except that I’d also say twice is pretty good. They’re a definitive pop group but idk they’ve grown on me 🙃
I’ve been intrigued by Gidle recently but… I feel like they have.. growing to do- their potential might still be to come
YES!! They are the ones I mentioned XD
4 strong individual singers in 1 group. I love them. Not part of the fandom, but I do have their albums :| at least they are all the same size and look pretty in my shelf T_T
@@dysmissme7343 G-Idle are ok, Dreamcatcher too...
I got recommended a group named FiftyFifty in YT and they are OK so far (only 3 songs)... that's how I discovered XG (Japanese) and I love them so far. Their vibes are immaculate imho. I do listen to a lot of things, but what's not it, it's not it T_T
to clear your doubts; no they have no story, no meaning or no depth to their songs or lyrics.
all they sing about since their debut is how pretty, hot, bad, rich and savage they are and how they're better than other girls
which btw I'm not holding the members accoutable for. they have 0 say in anything and are basically puppets for their company which is so sad, considering how talented they are
if you're someone who's into actual artists and meaningful music, blackpink is not the band for you
I think what sets BTS aside is how involved they’ve always been in their music. It makes it feel genuine and there’s so much substance to it. You can feel their passion and dedication to their craft, which is making music
here they come the people recommending other groups just because you like bts… let me tell you sir, you will not find the same lyrical quality, versatile production, and genuine SOUL in these groups. there’s a reason why bts is the most standout and well known group from the kpop industry
When Yoongi said people ride on their name... he wasn't lying.
Any fandom goes fast to check BTS reactions, even when they say they don't like them and they appear on their "spotify wrapped" (not only blinks) and start saying "if you like BTS, check out XXX"... WTF? It sounds so stupid to me in general, like if I like ABBA, must I like any other or all other Swedish quartets? Or if I like Maneskin, should I listen to all Italian rock bands? I still don't understand this with Korean music... So frustrating.
The difference between kpop and bts is simple. Bts are ARTISTS not just singers and dancers. And that's all there is to it 🤷♀️🤭
I’m ngl watching yo reaction just made me remember y I don’t listen to them. Not even tryna be mean but these lyrics bro😭🥴
I ain’t wanna anything but like Jesus bro 😭
I’m learning that they might not Even have creative control tho so i think that could play a part in that
@@tribeloui2023 what the other person said is very true. The ceo basically said this group was just supposed to be better looking (which is hypocritical b/c he also said that after the first gg he wanted to focus on artistry so) but blackpink has been held back by their company in terms of creative control and writing. Still doesn't change the fact that the lyrics are pretty trash and focus on being bad bitches when it's mostly middle aged men writing them. Like one lyric is "born skinny bitch" written by a man and "I bring money to the table not your dinner" also written by a man.
I would be curious just to see how you felt about lisa's solo songs money and lalisa (b/c personally I think they're quite disappointing considering she's the most popular member and according to fans the best performer/ace of the group. So I would just be curious to see what your reaction to those songs would be
Thank you for your honest reaction. We have the same reaction to Blackpink. I don't get their music.
😭😭😭 lmaooo I’m honestly so happy you said that
I was scared I was gonna get a bunch of hate
I was prepared but I was still kinda scared😭😭
@@tribeloui2023 haha I was actually going to say that I really hope you don't get flooded by angry Blinks, but IMO you should not be because you were still respectful to Blackpink.
But I really get what you mean. I've tried listening to them also. Their songs can be catchy on a surface level but when I look at the lyrics there's nothing that made me stay. But I guess other people can relate more to them or maybe they can catch something I don't. Either way, again, thank you for giving your honest reaction! Looking forward to more of your reactions!
@@tribeloui2023 yep agreed. Tried getting into their music but it all sounds the same… generic manufactured. Their features don’t sound great either. They just got the good hair and makeup lol
@@tribeloui2023 Oh, BTW! Any chance you could react to RM (of BTS) Indigo Album? :D Please please?
@@annamendoza1990 lmao you know I’m going too Anna
We’re gonna do jimin this week cuz his album is coming out and maybe some funny complications of the bts members and then we’re gonna see what RM is talking about
I’m very excited 😁
My cousin is a big fan, he actually took me to see them live, well because we do everything together so I basically had no choice and he bought the tickets haha. It was very underwhelming to say the least. But nothing has pulled me in completely. They're alright just not for me.
Idk, once u listen to BTS, u will know they are beyond kpop, k-hiphop , k-rnb etc. they are a league of their own. and as idols, they are definitely heights above the rest of the pop groups. that’s why i personally find it tough to get deeply connected with others. perhaps for a few standout songs it's ok for casual workout music in the background, but for majority of them, it’s hard to admire a real depth of artistry in it.
only very few other kpop groups (or maybe selected songs) have at base level a decent quality to their music.
but for BTS, there are so many multifaceted factors that make them so undefinable yet so spectacular and they really make u *feel* things.
Mamamoo honestly are so like real artists as well. If didn't listen or watch their performances you definitely should.
If you want Korean artist with substance on their lyrics and still their song catchy , I recommend you “Epik high “( a Korean hip hop group) IU, Heize and Dean ( the 3 of them are soloist with NICE voices ).
And other ( with substance too) that is a group from Japan called One Ok Rock.
Ohh One OK Rock! My teenage struggles in a band. Even now I relate to Adult Suit. XD
Agree i listen to one ok rock since 2018 i love that band and epik high is great their songs included sometimes in army's streaming listening party.
As an ARMY myself, i also hope u continue to be honest, even for BTS songs! as long as u respect and acknowledge the production and artistry of BTS songs (for sure there will be a good level of it since it’s BTS), it’s also ok to say that a specific BTS song is not what u usually bop to or u prefer other BTS songs or if u describe a BTS song as simply “it was okay”, “not bad’ or ‘pretty good’ for ur personal taste (coz we understand that it doesn’t always have to be ‘wow, so good, amazing!’ from a subjective POV) 😊
Don’t feel pressured to love every single BTS related song or to do so equally, is what i’m saying.
This is so we can tell u continue to be genuine, and also which BTS songs u resonate with more or love more than others! it’s a way of getting to know u too.
it’s also more enjoyable for us, really
hope u read this!
I actually tend listen to solo artists more than big groups. BTS being the exception because of a lot of their lyrics and positive messages to fans.
I like artists like IU, Younha, Ha Sung woon, AleXa, Jackson Wang, Henry, and more. Most of whom I discovered through BTS music.
But BTS I find remains my favorite and I could listen to every song from BTS both as a group and their solos without stop, so.... yeah. I dont tend to dive too deep into other groups but I do like the occasional song from groups such as twice, exo, blackpink, stray kids, and more. I also like some txt songs. Mostly to vibe with. But BTS songs are so deep... I can't just vibe, I tend to dig deep and then try (and fail horribly) to sing with them lol
wow so true i am the same. i love a few solo singers of korea and BTS not the groups. i get so tired if it it all sounds the same to me.
Oh you should give a try to Heize as well. That lady makes such great music. You can try "Happen". I am suggesting this cuz you stated you like soloists more.
@@wildfictions705 I'll try it out. Thanks!
Yeah.... I feel kinda bad saying it but BP just isn't quality music. Just isn't. BTS is top of the line, BP is what people want to THINK is top of the line because the girls are pretty and nice. Their music isn't good. Their performances aren't good. They don't even like doing music- THEY DON'T EVEN DO THE MUSIC AT ALL. They aren't involved in the process even a little bit, let alone producing and writing their own songs. And their fans are just... horrible people. Not nice. They're very violent towards other girl groups, and violent towards female fans of boy groups (especially BTS). Glad to see a genuine reaction for a change.
that’s why we armys always try to separate bts from kpop, not because of supremacy feel but because their music stands for a lot more than for what kpop stands for
i appreciate your honesty and how you admit you liked certain aspects of their songs but not them in general. a lot of us feel the same way
also a lot of the "dislike" surrounding them is pointed at the company, not the BP members
the company controls every aspect of their music and don't give the members artistic freedom
@@janae8747 believe me, I don’t dislike BP members, but why do people keep mentioning the lack of artistic freedom like it’s forced upon them? Didn’t they renew their contracts with YG voluntarily? If they don’t like how they’re being handled or what direction their career went, they can definitely do something about it. These are people with agency and their own minds, I would hope. I just don’t get this narrative.
@@annamendoza1990
mm i may have worded it wrong. im not saying the company controls the members, like forces them. but the company is 100% behind the group's songs and image, and i think from the beginning the members knew they were just there to fill a role. yes they're choosing to go along with it, but they themselves are not writing these songs or involved in ANY of the creative process. that's all up to the label and ig they're fine with that lol
@@janae8747 To me it just seems like they are fine with the easy way. They have to do bare minimum which is record the song, shoot the mv, do promotions and perform. The rest is done by their team. From making songs, choreographing the dance, preparing sets, camera, editing, music editing. All they have to do is put out a news that they are making a comeback and the fans will fall for it.
@@wildfictions705 true. i guess i like giving idols the benefit of the doubt because you never know what goes on behind close doors between them and their label
like im aware that they could be 100% complicit and okay with how their group is, but i also hold some sympathy(?) in case they dont have much say to what their music/image is
All bp songs just based on same formula - wannabe bad bitch, I'm savage,I don't care about nobody, I'm rich with money I can do everything, you're a nobody to me which screams toxicity but for them fans it's being powerful woman and feminists that's all with the same catchy beats and same high tuning
kpop fans always try to sneak their faves in once reactors put their eyes on bts 😭
imo bts is just on a whole different level when it comes to the quality of their lyrics and beats, u can really resonate w what they r saying and feel the emotion behind what they do which is what i think separates them from how superficial the kpop industry can be, but then again everyone got their own taste and stuff so yeah 🤷🏽♀️
I like that you’re honest and I like your genuine enthusiasm for music.
tbh, ARMY in general is very wary of reactors who start reviewing BTS then jump to other groups once they start getting traction and honestly, I was a bit hesitant when I saw the BP video but still gave it a shot
I really appreciate your honesty and genuineness on this video. as an avid music lover, I too listen to BP. their beats are catchy not gonna lie. it’s a tune that gets you going while on the gym or running etc. but a moment of realization comes after.. what happens after the catchy tunes? with a lot of music coming out, the message of the song will always come first over a catchy tune. it just so happens that BTS is strong on both their lyricism and their beats.
thank you for your honesty.
I really appreciate your honesty. Reactors who give their honest reviews and are not only after views are so rare. Please never change :)
I will never understand BP when there are sooo many actually good girl groups
I think what truly differentiates a true artist is the ability to perform live. I don't know how you would manage to stay neutral if you watched their live performance. Thank you for staying true to yourself.
You know what’s funny that I’ve noticed.. I have never seen a reactor, react to a bp live performance. It is always their mv and they are getting recommended to react to
When the reactors chose to react to their live performances they will regret their lives
@@btsforlife5743 that's what I meant XD
@@eveyy_xo true i have noticed that. only die hard fans who because fans before doing the performances so that it didn´t matter to them if they suck...
@@eveyy_xo oh one guy did. he is a performer and mostly watch the lives to analyse it and he watched BP and agree that it is a mess. mad respect to him.
New subscriber here, just want to say thanks for being so real! This group is not for me either, they're certainly beautiful girls who have talent in performing. Hopefully one day their creativity will be able to shine, not something that is on the forefront in their current arrangement. When a performer is acting a part constructed & voiced primarily by others often times I just can't relate, it most times lacks depth. The men of Bangtan are all over their work, their signature is strong, uniquely their own, I thank them every day for their resonating messages & catalog of work. This is why I'm an ARMY, and not fan of most KPop. The difference is truly vast. Looking forward to checking out your past & future videos! 💜
unfortunately for performance some of them have gotten lazy - not in synch, half hearted moves, lipsynching. they dont even look like they want to be on stage most of the time. yet people still go to their high priced concerts and say that they are the best and giving excuses such as "not enough preparation time".
Blackpink’s company is known for being a “hip hop” company and I think that’s a major issue, coz they see hip hop as a genre when it’s a whole culture, like if you’re Korean and put some cornrolls and start “rapping” and that’s it… BP is more of performers than musicians honestly and I’m saying this as a fan, they’re a brand and focused on visuals, if you’re into real artistry they’re definitely not gonna be ur cup of tea
Big facts. The songs are supported by flashy music videos and lots of colors, but the songs alone are not very substantial. And in my own opinion, the rappers haven't shown that they are versatile in their abilities like some others
I'm so grateful for your honesty! Lots of reactors are afraid to be honest when it comes to kpop groups because of their fans. But the real fans appreciate honesty as long as your respectful of the artist's talents. Thank you so much!
The thing about kpop is that its pageantry at it's core. The medium is music, but the point is the presentation. The fashion, the synchronization, the big production sets and scenes, the execution of facial expressions...the music is really just something to make the aesthetic presentation more entertaining. And you can tell because the music is often really generic, the lyrics are barely there (mostly sound effects, honestly), and the production is noisy and redundant. And there's not even a lot of weight or attention paid to vocal delivery or rap. Most groups don't even perform live because they don't have to. They're not singers, they're idols. There are some groups that are great at the presentation aspect. A ton of them actually. And personally, I enjoy pageantry most of the time and I recognize the attention to detail it takes. It's impressive what some of these kpop groups do. But when it comes to my music, I just need something more. And very few groups have been able to check that box for me. BTS is the only group I stan (and a lot of ARMYs are that way). Aside from them, the only two groups I've invested in at all are TXT (the only other group from BTS' label - "BTS' Little Brothers) and Mamamoo (a group of women who are all incredible vocalists who have a lot of control over their music).
Anyway, I just appreciate you keeping it real. Every reactor who starts with BTS gets recommended other groups in the comments and then they react to all of them the same and it feels so disingenuous. It's entirely possible they like them all. But if you're treating them like they're the same thing...that's just questionable.
you echoed my sentiments perfectly. Reason why I never fuck with most K-pop people
Totalnya agree With this comment.
You’re valid for this, tbh after listening to Bts I tried giving some other groups a chance but I also feel like since Bts is so different and experiments w so many genres, that no group can uphold to that and if they do I haven’t seen one that can’t deliver it the way Bts does.
There's a reason kpop isn't armys cup of tea.
I reacted with u and now my head hurts, but I really appreciate u keepin it genuine, just do u man
and love what u said at the end made me tear up a little 😆
Yeah, I agree with what people here said. Liking BTS does not = liking Kpop. There are other SK artists (not necessarily Kpop) that are good too, I’m discovering them as I go. But just because I like some doesn’t mean I’m a Kpop enthusiast. I like a lot of music and genres.
You r not supposed to ask wat does it mean bro, if it's a BP song
😂😂
Someone is mad but for what
@@roses_are_rosee6676 mad bcz my fav plastics BP can't hold a pen.
@@roses_are_rosee6676 I'm mad over a songwriter/CEO who disbanded his own GG to marry a member who is only 19 years old and who writes overly sexual lyrics in a debut track/tracks when you really look and research deep into it.

Thank you for keeping it real! It’s good to know you are genuine with your reactions
Wow, this earned you a subscriber. I’m not used to this honesty. Most people start with BTS, then kpoppies will flood the comment section pressuring people to react to their favs, because in their minds “kpop” is a group project and if you like one then you must like them all. Reactors go on to claim liking EVERY.SINGLE.SONG and going on about how amazing they are even though it’s obviously only for views, then suddenly proclaiming to be a part of each fandom……it’s like clockwork. Then all of the sudden here you are actually admitting to not liking it? Refreshing. I’m not saying I’m gonna follow just because you didn’t like a bp song lol, it’s just that it’s that rare to find an honest reactor. The girls are pretty, but that’s about it. For me anyways. Don’t hate them, don’t like them, they’re just there. We don’t expect people to love every single BTS song, as long as they’re respected I’m good.
I love your honesty, please dont change it and lie about liking something as its not needed... your opinion is what we want to hear and i love the honesty you show ❤
I was never in my life so proud of someone. You are def. my favorite Channel ever!
It's really hard to get into kpop once you start with BTS they kinda set the standard once you start with them. If you're really focused on rap with a message. You're gonna have to stray from kpop and go to Khiphop. But groups in kpop I would say Stray Kids,Seventeen and XG is as close as you'll get to self produced rap and Gidle kinda they only have 1 member who really raps raps and she produces most of their music.
I don't mind reactors getting into kpop but I don't like when they loe about things. I like some bp songs if i need something to vibe to but i really won't sit down and claim oh they're the best gg or group etc I don't think it's genuine
I find some of their songs catchy. What stood out to me was you saying they seem to embrace the toxicity. A lot of their lyrics are centered on putting other women down by hyping up their own beautiful or weight or self worth. The more I listened the more it stood out to me, and I'm just not into that vibe. Their entire theme are superficial, bright, visually catchy, costumes and backdrops.
Enjoying the BTS rabbit hole! At some point would love to see what you think of ATEEZ and their newer songs Guerilla and Halazia! Super cool group with a very powerful concept and inner storyline.
Totally agree! Their song typa girl is a pick me anthem, they literally brag that they’re not like the other girls, it’s so upsetting
Also ateez is amazing!
@@sydneyhudson4806 they are!! 💜💜
The songwriter for typa girl said she wrote it as an anthem to hype yourself up when singing. It’s a song you sing to yourself when getting ready for he club or something not about anyone else. That’s like saying I’m putting down cats because I say I like dogs.
@@jadewithers7073 that boggles my mind cause I have never gotten that vibe. There is literally a lyric about having a good body and being rich and as someone who has neither of those I do not feel empowered
am I the only one who thinks blackpink is a brand ambassador artist rather than a singer/musician??
what? then you just a anti who doesn’t like bp
I mean you don’t have to like them but the disrespect?
Lisa is one of the best f dancers
Jennie is one of the best f rappers
Rosé is one of the best female vocalists how can you guys be that disrespectful? I don’t understand
@@roses_are_rosee6676They don't make an effort in their music. Solo releases only contain 2 songs and aren't even made by them. There is no sincerity, and some of their lyrics are problematic and harmful. Even some of their live performances are underwhelming. Their ways to promote and win awards isn't honest either. That is why people can't respect them as artists.
It's not surprising that people think they are overrated. If there is anything impressive about them, it's their looks.
@@roses_are_rosee6676 all of these things are subjective.
if they are the best to you, great. but thats not a fact, there are far better dancers, rappers and singers out there and thats fine.
no need to get so mad over someones opinion. and no, thats not making them a 'hater.'
they model more than they release music, whats disrespectful about pointing that out?
Since you seen interested in other kpop groups, I'd like to recommend some videos to understand the concept of kpop itself:
"Kpop history in 20 minutes" by DKDKTV, and
"BTS vs kpop: a video essay" by bby gang mag
Have a great day 💜
Oh, and I could add "why army's don't like kpop" by boracity magazine, but even though I like her, I should put a disclaimer because sometimes she seems to be biased towards BTS (makes sense since she is an ARMY) but she makes well informed videos and they are more updated
I love bby gang content
I’m camping in the comments. I’m happy to find people who think likewise.
Wow! Mad respect! An honest reactor. They don't exist anymore.Hats off to you!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you for being honest!
I’ll continue tuning in because you have gained my respect
People don't really understand why everyone is biased with BTS..They say BTS is overrated no BTS is that one group who changed the trajectory of Kpop in general.. You will hear a lot of kpop artists and they all have the same overused agenda of Visuals in MV and efforts to make the song trendy to make their idols go viral.. But what BTS focuses on is music in general and the long run of it.. Yeah they do have some trendy songs but for most part BTS make music that will last for a lifetime and you won't lose the feeling no matter how many times you come back to it.. Their music will give the same comfort and same energy it did when you heard it for the first time.. Meanwhile kpop is a contractual industry they focus on making Idols not artists so once the artist leaves just like once the trend is over and you comeback the music sounds noisy and you keep wondering what made you like it in the first place. Because trends keep changing new artist will come up with more catchy phrases and sounds.. But with BTS we don't have to worry about that.. I'm not targeting anyone but yeah Kpop is versatile you will find all shorts of genre of music but at the same time the algorithm and the idea of serving Visuals remains the same.. Still to this date Kpop works with K beauty standards and visuals in general and that will keep affecting the music this industry creates..It will take decades and decades to find a group half as like BTS.
I'm a music lover so there are many elements and songs in kpop that i love. There are songs that I enjoy very very much. I can totally see why bp are popular too. Said that, bts to me are in another different level, like to me their artistry is just up there, I've been a music fan since I remember, I listen to many geners but bts is the only act that I've ever feel to call myself a fan. They are just one act in time kind of thing
I'll be honest. I'm not sure how BP became the most popular gg. I don't really see what's so special about them
The deep relief I feel when I find a reactor who is genuine
That’s the thing with most Kpop groups, you’ll never know what to expect until you hear it yourself, for example there are groups that only do rock, and some groups that only do rap, pop. So it’s perfectly fine not to like every single group you come across. That being said normally not all songs sound the same.
Jhope keeps telling you that you are daydreaming and that this group is NPC generated, without passion and sincerity.
😭😭😭😭 I’m ngl seeing his face pop up after listening to what I heard washed all the pain away
You're really funny and entertaining and I love that. I also love your honesty, because it's rare in reactors. I've tried to like BP, yet after seven years haven't found one song in their very scant discography that isn't lacking for me. I don't think their music justifies their popularity - another topic for another day. Enjoy your trip down BTS's rabbit hole. I'll be here to follow you. They will enrich your life, promise. Borahae 💜
Just a normal day of kpop stans asking reactors to react to their favs like this is a group project with bts :/
army’s never learn to be respectful and you know what I love bts for not accepting disrespectful fans in their fandom
Valid reaction to BP! Usually they are a hit or miss group. I personally have the same reaction to them. TWICE and NewJeans are two other KPOP girl groups that make good music! NewJeans is a new group. I think they have 6 songs total that all have music videos! Their songs/choreographies are really popular right now! I will say that no other group really compares to BTS though! I’m really enjoying your videos! 😁💜
Edit: I’d love to see your reaction to the albums “Indigo” by RM and “D-2” by Agust D! Also RM recently did a collaboration called “Smoke Sprite” that I think you would really enjoy! 😊
I have never been a fan of Twice, idk they just aren't for me (however I welcome suggestions). I do however have liked a few of NewJeans songs like: OMG, Attention, and Hype Boy
@@AJP.OT7 Some of my favorites from Twice are Cry for me, ICON(English), Rewind, Cruel, Perfect World(Japanese), Say Something, and 21 :29☺️
@@esmeraldaanaya9669 agree on cruel!!!!!! best bside! shadow is also good!
@@AJP.OT7 same twice music sounds boring and it all sounds the same to me. i really can´t tell the songs apart. not hating on the girls just not for me
@lea larsen you have not listened to twice If think it all sounds the same💀 go listen to "go hard" and "icon" and tell me it sounds the same
Thanks for your honest reaction. I feel like I can trust your reactions more than others I've seen out there. I am now a new subscriber.
Love a genuine honest reaction! I’m not even a fan of this group or like their songs but I appreciate that you gave your honest reaction without being rude or hateful. Some music is just not for everybody and sometimes even requires some constructive criticism. If you reacted to my favorite group (BTS) and said you didn’t like a song for whatever reason I’d totally respect that. I get so tired of seeing so many reactors that super “loves” every song an artist puts out and it just seems fake sometimes. I know every once in a while we might not vibe to something and that’s ok. As long as we’re still being respectful to the artist.
Thank you for speaking up on what you believe you have my respect
Their bragging is so tiring. 😅
Their songs just make me feel poor
@@kate1kate and makes u feel bad about yourself because as if it’s your fault not been born pretty, thin and rich. They were all born rich
True! So true. I think most of the people who stomach their lyrics think they are (or wish they were) rich, thin and pretty
Thanks for the transparency! Don’t feel pressured to react to anything and there’s always toxic people around but we gon have your back lmao
J-hope keep poppin up reminding you that he is your fav😭😭😭😭
Love you for this man. Keep doing you 💜💜💜💜
You Kpop stans can't be fr recommending Blackpink to a hip-hop fan who loves lyrics, who loves artists who write their own lyrics and producing their own beats?? Stop that. Just because people consider BTS as Kpop doesn't mean that others will also like other Kpop groups.
I REALLY appreciate your honesty. Keep it like that bro, I'm subscribing.
Blackpink isn't for me. I tried. I'd be a solo stan if anything, and nobody wants a solo stan in their group fandom spaces.
HOWEVER, in my post-BTS deep dive of kpop, there is one group I kept. Mamamoo. I recommend highly.
I get to see them live for the first time this summer in Atlanta, and I'm beside myself lol
hey congrats for getting tickets to their show!
@@goodeboie5312 omg thank you lol. I'm so excited 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@Lydia-rb8so It'll be a one of a kind experience!
lmaoo i'm binging your vids and jhope keeps popping up after every video like "Here's your daily dose of Daydream, you're welcome"
D4 was my first k-pop song.. it still gives chills. Lol I love the girls .. like their beats, how they sound or their music in general.. dunno about the lyrics. And definitely don't like their dishonest ways to grab awards but whatever ig
I'm so glad you're stasying honest with us Loui, cause then it means way more when you DO like something. Based on your reactions so far and how lyrics have been important to you, I think I would have been a bit disappointed if you had really loved Blackpink to the same extent cause I don't feel like they bring it to the same level as BTS across multiple facets.
So I totally agree with you Loui, their lyrics are pretty vapid so even when the beats are hard AF I just can't with the "we're bad bitches, money, brand names, random sounds you want me." ... eeeeeeehn I'M GOOD my time is precious lol
they can't sing, rap or write their own sh!t.. go girl give us nothing energy lol
There isn't a better suggestion for BlackPink, genuinely. And if you find their lyrics so weird, BlackPink dont write nor involve in anything in their songs. These girls sing the songs they received and most of them were written by men who wants to build a "bad" girl group. All looks, no substance. Members are known more for their fashion deals than being singer. Even their latest release, Shut Down, is still singing about how cool they are, not any different from their debut song ddudduddu.
i agree its trendy for sure to listen to but i struggle with the lack of substance to them as artists. i think they definitely fit a certain aesthetic that is fun and appealing. its just not an artist that you get tied to because of the music they create. its more their brand.
For me I first discovered BTS through their music videos. I loved their music. Then my friend whos a kpop fan suggested me to listen to other kpop groups and I did. But honestly I did not like any of them. BTS kinda set the standards too high for me... Especially their relatable lyrics...
I realized kpop is not my thing but I love BTS.
I love your honest reactions
I always say my I am so glad my intro into kpop was BTS. Although I will admit that I am spoiled by them and their quality that I have found it hard to like many other groups more than at a superficial level although there are a handful. I won’t mention them so you can find your own way to them if you choose, as I did. 😊
BP, I tried a couple of times to see what the hype was about. And while there may be a catchy line here and there, it really doesn’t do it for me personally. It’s ok for people to not like songs, whether it’s BP, BTS or any other group or artist as long as people aren’t disrespectful about it. Unfortunately, that happens A LOT.
Anyway, I have been enjoying your reactions. I appreciate the honesty while not being disrespectful. Looking forward to what you watch next.
Appreciate the honesty :) I feel the same way. Their songs are catchy and can be good for simple enjoyment but thrs not too much substance unfortunately. It's not the girls fault it's a label thing and well kind of a kpop thing though not always. I'm army and there are few kpop groups I really enjoy enough to keep coming back to. Mamamoo have amazing talent and beautiful songs, stray kids are very experimental with their sound ( which can be hit r miss but i find more hits then misses generally) and big bang because they were a group I enjoyed before finding bts. The things these groups have in common is their personal involvement in their music. They have much more creative control and substance ( plus the music is fantastic. )
I hope no one is upset with your honesty. Ofc the music you enjoy and what you react to is completely your choice and prerogative. 💜
the contrast is so big like... that happens when you don't get involved on your only song lol
Sir.........do u know how many ppl, how many reactors will sit and fake a reaction to dem girls bcaz they want money or are scared of back lash from fans ????
U just got my sub. THANK U for being honest.
This is interesting...I find the comment section super respectful. Ain't gonna lie that's unusual below a reactor that doesn't like BP. You were really respect bruh so that may be why. Every music has it's selected ears this just isn't for your ears and that's okay.
