Really a masterpiece for me. Jackson's team is really good especially with the MV design and everything that goes with it.
Not many people would get this reference but the first red shot with Jackson sitting in a chair ties in with the painting you can see on both of his sides in the corridor and at the end. It's "Stańczyk" by famous Polish painter Jan Matejko and it depicts jester being the only person concerned about the dark future of his country during a royal ball. So I agree with you about the person who is responsible about Jackson's mv doing a freaking great job. I never predicted that I would see this painting in a kpop video but it's strangely very fitting with Jackson's personality and his role in entertainment industry.
Olcia27 Not just role in the industry, but also who he feels he is versus what people have assumed of him from what they see. Most people think he's a comedian and thats his shtick and that he's somewhat dumb, but recently he's been trying to change the image because it does not reflect completely who he is. Maybe he's a jester, but he just wants people to be happy and not see him in his own struggles. His music is an attempt for people to take him seriously, because there is more maturity to.him than meets the eye
Olcia27 Good catch. I had to slow down and enlarge video to see it. This puts a different spin on the MV. I was thinking it was healing broken heart from romantic love. Could it be broken heart from being cast as a jester? Do you know what the building that is burning in the final shot/ frame is. Looks like burning apartment complex.
Olcia27 Woooooow that's kinda genius. Makes me appreciate the Mv and Jackson so much more
Olcia27 I did a little more research on Stańczyk the jester. The character Stańczyk is a symbol in Polish art and literature of the Polish fight for independence. Is Jackson using this image to redefine our perception of the jester character? With Jackson there are always levels.
Jackson is the person Responsible for his mv.😄
I actually agree with what you said, also liked this more than Papillon and I thought the black suit scenes were absolutely gorgeous. But I just need to say.. Jackson can actually sing and he sings in the last GOT7 album, though not in the songs they promoted. Not like the vocalists but I would say that he has the nicest singing voice out of rappers (if we don't count Yugyeom as a rapper).
He also sang an ost for Novoland: The Castle in the Sky. The song is kinda ballad-y and shows off his voice is amazing.
Yugyeom isn’t considered a rapper in the group he is considered a vocalist that can rap
If he wants to, and true Jackson has a good ass voice
Multijoonie Yeah, I know, I just wanted to write that if someone didn't know, cause Yugyeomie raps in some songs :D
In Moon U he sings a few lines and I didn't even recognize his voice at first even though he's my ub. He has an amazing rapping AND singing voice, but sadly he can't show his singing skill that often.
exactly, and when I saw GOT the Stage (Moon U) I was really surprised that it's Jackson singing...
#TeamWang
im not okay
BEN IVAN aww why not ?
#LoveYourself
Same
I V A N same gurl same
Actually the Music director for both Papillon and Okay is the same who directed Hard Carry from GOT7. But Jackson rlly participated in the directing by coming up with almost all the ideas and the details the songs follow a storyline (he talks about himself and his struggle since he entered the kpop industry I guess). Oh and this MV is a prequel of Papillon (if you haven't noticed at the end there's a snippet of the beginning Papillon's MV where he turns his head after burning his "old him"). He planned everything back in July. So yeah it might not be obvious for a lot of ppl but both of his songs and MVs are actually deep and related to him. He already finished his album but he said he'll drop a few more songs and MVs before releasing it :)
Yep. 3:01 burning the idol image from Papillon. Good catch.
Omg, I am looking forward to his album. His works are of high quality.
your review is always insightful. isnt a typical fan's reaction.. that's refreshing.. tq for liking his work.. i have to agree papilion wasnt up to my liking as well.. but OKAY is more than okay.. glad that alot ppl r giving good comments on this..
question?
*"He looks like a fucking goddess."*
Please never change, I'm so tired of reactors saying only basic stuff to gain viewers through kpop.
Thank you and I won’t!
"He looks like a godess"
"God the setpiece of him in the black suit is so gorgeous"
I KNOW RIGHT I CRY
Jackson himself actually took charge of the mv set design and outfit (with lots of Team Wang staff's help of course💪🏻) But still love his attitude of doing his own music (even if it's all out of his own pocket)
"I am korean"
well, you learn something new everyday
Patrice C He’s half-Korean, half-American (hence why he’s fluent in English)
Suzy292002 I think he might have moved to america when he was little, he looks full korean
Suzy292002 there’s no such thing as half Korean and half American?? What??? He’s Korean American, that’s probably what you meant.
Baby boo I guess they’re the same thing? Half Korean and Half American as in, his mom or dad is Korean and the other parent is American. So he has Korean and American blood in him, and it’s half-half and not 3/4quarter-1/4quarter.
That is if he actually *is* mixed race.
No, he’s signed to a *Chinese* label and he’s promoting in China. (:
I absolutely loved this dark sexy concept! I’m so glad you did too
he’s not signed to a label he just created his own studio, team wang, in china so he could better handle his solo career on his own
papillonk right! I meant to say that I’ve no idea why I said “a”
JYP has a Chinese sub-label and is starting to collect more chinese actors and trainees, for who know what. Though Jackson solo promotion is his own production team in that sub-label called Team Wang.
yaasss completely agreed with everything you had to say, wow Jackson really surprising me the way he's releasing new music and making himself an artist wow! good job for him and also this helps GOT7 tremendously too!
Omg I agree with almost every word you said. Jackson, himself, is full of possibilities. I am glad he's jumping out from the kpop stereotype and creating a style of his own. He's still fresh, but doing quite well.
I'm happy you did a react video for this MV. I was waiting for it.
In fact, I liked OKAY more then Papillon too (even though the trap music in this one really got me). I like the heavy feeling it has. And it's really gorgeous as you said.
The chorus may be repetitive, but it feels like a way to convince ourselves that we're okay when we're not, you know? And I liked it this way.
I think him doing his own music is really important so he can grown as an artist and he really does in fact in a beautiful way. (Still hope this won't make him leave GOT7...)
This song is my favorite of his and it really grew on me! Jackson is also my favorite in GOT7 and I'm so happy that you reacted to him
I think that the chorus was slow and dark because it was him telling himself that he's okay. He's lying to himself and pretending to be okay, so the music is a bit slower and has a bit of a darker tone. The verses are honest and emotional, which kind of builds up the tension of the song, becoming faster and more upbeat. Then it has this drop during the chorus (literally) where it gets slow and dark, kind of sets a tone of being emotionless and empty. I really enjoy the way it was composed! Really creative.
The moment when I finished listening to the song I was like " can't wait until produce reacts to this"
Not sure if anyone knows but just fyi this song was mainly for the Chinese market (like how I guess Papillon was for US market since it premiered on world star hip hop?)
It wasn't intended for the Kr market at all as it was released on various music platforms (including China) but not on Korean music portals such as Melon, Genie etc
skyescene21 I'm hoping he would go for Kor market next single
I wonder why they do that? Any and all exposure would be good imo.
Thanks for reacting to OKAY. Really enjoy your reactions. You are on point about the visuals. He looks like a goddess/god.
The staging, lighting, edits are gorgeous. I'm waiting for some kind person to translate the Chinese but from the English I gather this is a song healing a broken heart. He's burning up. He still has feelings for someone who is living their life like he doesn't exist. Crop him out of their pictures. Keep telling himself he's OKAY. It is quite elegantly sad and mad. I love it. It's a human relationship story. Been there, done that, bought the tee shirt... burnt it. LOL
Jackson Wang is very creative and super handsome, he is a very good looking man. Tha visuals wow and the lyrics very interesting. His voice is deep and I like it!
IVE BEEN WAITING
I was kind of afraid to watch this...but I am so glad the you see the growth with Jackson (as I do). People really have to realize that being part of a large group of creative minds can be somewhat stifling. And while we all know of the IMMENSE love that Jackson has for his GOT7 brethren, he obviously has a STRONG DESIRE to express his individuality. I say that you can certainly see that if you delve into the deeper meanings (hidden?) in these songs/MVs.
Aww It's so nice that you noticed the visuals of his MV, since he directed and arranged all the aesthetic aspects on his own for the first time, because it is his own studio production. There are definetly room for improvement, but you could tell that he did put alot of effort and thought into his work:) Really enjoy your reaction, very thorough and logical, we need more reaction like this, keep up the good work!
JACKSON SINGS IN GOT7 TOO! Please check out "Firework" and "Remember You" from the album 7for7, he sings in those songs.
I already recommend you to listen to the whole album last time, this album is their best album so far, please give it a chance at least at those songs.
Moon u too
Hello! I don't know if you have seen and heard their "Moon U" GOT the stage but I suggest that you would do so. It was lit and Jackson showed a new side of him. I don't know if you would like it but I guarantee you it is SOOOO GREATTTTT
Amazing and detailed commentary as always 😊👏🏾👍🏾
Awesome video as always!
THANK YOUFOR REACTING FOR THIS. I LIKE YOUR REACTION SRSLY
Great reaction & description! Always look forward to what you have to say :)
BOI REACT TO NUEST X SVT MAMA PERF PLS GOOD GOD IT'S AMAZING
I SUGGEST WATCHING A FANCAM AFTERWARDS FOR A BETTER LOOK AT THE PERFORMANCE
yAAASSS PLEASE!!!
But he might get angry when he sees the terrible camera work
It’s such a beautiful piece and I think because he’s doing it where it’s his style. I’ll definitely be listening to this for a while
Your feedback and insight is so amazing, keep up the great work. I'm glad you enjoyed it, and really paid attention to the music video's visuals and the lyrics themselves. You're awesome.
You should really listen to GOT7's B sides because Jackson really has a good singing voice and he sings in some of their songs. 💕 Plus, the members are more involved in their B sides.
after i finished watching the video i was not okay, tbh
Adriana Brooks
All of us, tbh. 😆
Yeah even tho I or We feel what he’s saying I still something hahahaha FEEL YOU GURL! FEEL YAH!
Jackson's handsome and he fucking knows it, every angle and outfit show his visual, for god's sake ToT
tq!! i have been waiting for your review
*Of course, Jackson killed it as always... a masterpiece.*
I really like how honest he is about his opinion. Thanks for reacting to Jackson!
"he looks like a f*cking goddess" lmao ok
that's so true. That has been my issue for so long because I believe if they were given more freedom people could see how talented GOT7 is and they would shine.
I like Jackson Wang, I think he has something special, everywhere he goes! He is a good rapper and his deep voice sound so manly how it should be! About this song I like more than papillon, because it gives a dark feeling, which makes you wonder a lot of things, you want to know more about him!
Honestly, bless the stylist for this video. He looks so good in every shot.
I love this song so much o m g
Jackson is my ult bias and I completely agree Papillion was okay. OKAY was more than okay. The set design and editing is amazing. I heard Jackson funds all of his mvs
Okay is amazing. It's what I expected from Jackson's solo career since Boom x3 is one of my GOT7's favorite songs and was made by him. Let's see what comes next
And yes, I also see that none of GOT7's (actually) really show what they are capable of. However, with You Are we could see more of them. I mean, who knew JB could do such high notes?
I see that when the boys that the control, they show much more of them than when the company do that. If they keep working on their own music, I think they gonna surprise a lot
I really really like the way you react on mvs of got7 and this jackson solo song. .. U r so honest ...
JACKSON I LOVE YOU
I love how you are so honest without being rude or mean 👌🏻 love this song, love Jackson ❤️ just so much love hahha wtf am I even saying
James, am pretty sure now that we have the same taste of music. I dont have time to check many kpop songs lately, but I will check one you react to. you make reaction to the next level, you analyze. Likey!
I think one point we should discuss is the target market for this song, besides us. Mainland Chinese? Americans? Koreans?
Kenneth Tang his solo career is based in china, papillon was all in english but it was still targeted towards the chinese market and it did great, so far okay is doing very well on the charts in china too and he’s getting a ton of praise for incorporating mandarin bc most who know him from varieties in china and his ad songs know that his mandarin isn’t completely fluent but he’s improved a ton
i've found that i agree with like 99% of your opinions as far as music/video aesthetics go, and as soon as you said you didn't like papillon at the beginning of the video (me neither lmao) i thought, "oh but you're going to like this one though"
Dude, i was just whatching this video then i realize that the scene of 03:50 and 03:56 that Jackson look behind and then the scenario behind him start to burn is connected to the video clip of "papillon'', in the video of ''papillon'' at the start, Jackson get out of the helicopter and look at him in a box, that is him in ''okay'' video clip, then him walk out and the box with Jackson of ''okay'' starts to burn out, it's actually about how Jackson wasn't feeling good enough and then he get over it.
sorry about my english, i'm learning yet. :)
“Made no lick of sense” haha, same
I didn't wanted to check your videos because I tought you were another reactor of the millions that are on youtube.
But, I was curious and here I am. I really like your opinion, it was respectful and really interesting.
I'm subscribing~
the director who did hard carry directed both papillon and okay but the difference in quality is so noticeable bc jackson plays a big role in every aspect of his solo, also his solo career is based completely in china so he is a cpop artist in those regards
👍high quality reaction
'Made no lick of sense' 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I looooved this song!!
“Made no lick of sense, but man it was beautiful.” I’M NDJSKSSK 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love this song and Jackson so much
I was kinda scared to listen to this song after Papillon but this is the kind of dream-like hip-hop that I love!
"Made no lick a sense but man it was beautiful" I don't know why I died there. LOL
YES! THANK U
I am early again hello yall love your reactions
i loved the set and the song :D
i felt like at the end.... he's showing that he is all cool/calm from outside in the DIOR suit but inside he is all blazing up in GUCCI and is trying to convince us and himself that he is Good even though he's not
❤❤❤ I like your reaction ,
Thank you for the reaction!!🙌🙌🙌 #TeamWangOKAY liked it more than Papillon too😆😆😆
Some of the sets and this music video where in Papillon . If I remember correctly Jackson said both the videos were connected
There is good footage of Seventeen performance at the MAMA in Vietnam. And their performance was awesome! Would love to see your reaction to this one!
SEVENTEEN (세븐틴) 171125 Performance + Awards @ 2017 MAMA in Vietnam
thank you for your supportttt
"Made no lick of sense, but man it was beautiful." 😂😂😂 Yes. This.
It's a really sexy, angsty song with entrancing, quixotic visuals. I'm about it.
Boys get crazy for our Jackson Wang！
As much as I like Papillion, it's really funny to sing loud to and catchy, I loved Okay soo much more. The vibe and set pieces were gorgeous and Jackson served all the looks ☺️😷 and Jackson singing is my favorite thing
Song already in my playlist
Although Jackson is my ult, his solo songs aren't what I would go for first when choosing a song to bop to but if I want to watch something aesthetic it'll definitely be on the top of my list ahahah
His voice color😍😍😍😍
I’m a proud mom
This was not released in Korea! A lot of artists who are not Korean usually do their solo work in their native language. Jun and The8 from Seventeen sung their duet in Chinese (though there's a Korean version, I'm upset that the Chinese version wasn't on the album). Jay Park does English and Korean, Eric Nam as well, it really depends on if they have recording rights in their home countries. Jackson was in China during this and missed the last GOT7 Japanese album, but he got to promote himself in this home country as well as be a judge for a Chinese performing competition.
I don’t really listen to Got7 but I vibe so much with this
JACKSON IS A LEGEND A KING
Masterpiece
"Made no lick of sense but man, it was beautiful." relatable
It made me cry. the chinese parts... ugh my heart...
I LOVE THIS SONG 💕💕💕💕👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
The last scenes of Okay was Papillon!
I always get hurt when I watch your videos reacting to my faves. Of course you need to be honest when making reacting videos Hahahaha but somehow satisfied with the comments cause I feel it to OKAY 👌🏻 Hahahaha
We all know that Jackson is trying to grow as an artist and trying to do his own thing. He himself said he wants to learn and try to grow by writing his own lyrics and producing his own songs.
Jackson is a really talented guy but needs to grow up as a solo artist yet.
I did not feel he showed 100% of what he really can do (in Papillon mostly). But I liked the vibe of OKAY, although the lyrics did not please me so much.
He is so hoooot, i can't
JACKSON IS SO GORGEOUS I CAN'T
Stunning and beautiful. Both Jackson and the video.
Agree with everyone else, LOVE this way more than Papillon (which I didn’t like at all)
Love hearing Jackson’s gruff, sexy singing too
Oh shit this is amazing
“It sounded very linguistically beautiful... I don’t know what he’s saying” me listening to kpop
Jackson 💓💓
#teamWang
I knew it!! Pdnim is really Korean
Each scene looks like a painting
Oh look it’s a preview to papillon
