BTS quotes Dr Martin Luther King, Jr in this MV. "If you can't fly, then run. If you can't run, then walk. If you can't walk, then crawl." You can see the behind the scenes on this one. It was outside, it was very cold. I don't think there is any CGI at all.
Seo Taiji and the Boys did the original COME BACK HOME (covered by BTS very nicely) and there's the cutest video of them performing it live. I love it!
When you said "old school kpop" my eyes lit up 😂. I wanna recommend Shinhwa then. They're the only kpop that has been together for 20 years and has never lost a member or broken up and gotten back together. You should react to Wild Eyes (2001), Perfect Man (I can't remember the year for this one), and Only One (2000). I also recommend some old school YG (the company Blackpink is from). I think y'all would like the songs YG Family - Famillenium (i might have spelled that wrong oops 😅) which came out in 1999, Jinusean - Phone Number, and YG Family - Hip Hop Gentleman
I would recommend for „old school kpop“ Big Bang - Fantastic Baby Shinee - Sherlock or Lucifer Super Junior - Sorry Sorry TVXQ - Something 2NE1 - Fire Snsd - Gee
1st Generation Kpop: Seo Taji & the Boys, SHINHWA, H.O.T, Sechskies, Fin.KL (I don't know any other artist smh) 2nd Generation Kpop: Super Junior, Big Bang, 2NE1, Girls Generation, TVXQ, SHINEE, Brown Eyed Girls, Wonder Girls, BAP, BTOB, 2PM, F(x), 2NE1, INFINITE. (Idk if this is 2nd generation or 1st generation but I love the song Rainism by Rain!) 3rd Generation: BTS (Of course) EXO, GOT7, Blackpink, NCT, MONSTA X, WINNER, IKON, SEVENTEEN, PENTAGON, ASTRO, RED VELVET, VIXX, KARD, there's so many good groups! P.S. Blood, Sweat, and Tears choreography give me MJ vibes too lol
It's a great MV - & it's got great lyrics. They used an MLK, Jr. quote in one of the verses, so don't forget to turn on CCs for great BTS lyrics 😉 (or maybe look up translations before/after you watch the MV cuz sometimes there's a lot going on in their MVs). Here's the verse I'm talking about btw: "If you can’t fly, then run Today we will survive If you can’t run, then walk Today we will survive If you can’t walk, then crawl Even if you have to crawl, gear up" Another great verse in this song: "Throw it up! Throw it up! Forget about the fear in your eyes Break it up! Break it up! Break the glass ceiling that cages you Turn it up! (Turn it up!) Burn it up! (Burn it up!) Until the day of victory (fight!) Don’t kneel, don’t collapse That’s (do) not today!" translation credit to genius[.]com
Ohhh old school kpop? Rain-Rainisim (this is Fckn iconic y'all need to listen) Tvxq-Mirotic Brown eyed girls-Abracadabra Wondergirls- Tell me Nobody Lee Jung Hyun - Wa (this ones from the early 90s, techno and iconic. Watch the live performance!) Anything early Superjunior(their debut song; Twin(knockout) was honestly a great mix of funky beats and grunge and it was amazing) On a seperate note, if you haven't, y'all should check out Yoon mi rae. She's the Korean hip hop queen.
SHINee - Lucifer (2010) Super Junior - Sorry Sorry (2009) SNSD (Girl’s Generation) - Gee (2009) Bigbang - Haru Haru (2008) 2ne1 - I am the best (2011) These are some iconic old kpop songs 😊 would love to see yall reacting to it! (It’s soooo different from the kpop of nowadays, you gonna be shook lmao)
Caio Passos 2011 is a different era of kpop, so I already see it as “old school kpop” (and tbh i dont think a lot of kpop stans actually know kpop from the 80’s lmfao)
The only "old school kpop" that I liked are the songs BTS covered. Like Seo Taiji's "Come Back Home", Shinhwa's "Perfect Man", Kim Sung Jae's "As I Told You", etc.
If we're talking real old school and not just songs from 10 years ago. 1TYM - One Love (released in 2000) (One actually produces for BLACK PINK) G.O.D - To Mother (released in 1999) H.O.T - Outside Castle (released in 2000) This was all before UA-cam. The struggle was real back then to even get to watch these music videos.
I'm not a specialist, so just from what I remember, *Seo Taiji* basically brought the pop/hip-hop trend in an westernized way to S. Korea, back in 1995, *"Come Back Home"* by him, was one of the biggest hits at the time ( BTS has a version of this song since Taiji called them to perform in his 25th career anniversary). Then the "trend" evolved into this huge industry and kind of a genre (although it's just pop but in korean and with their own twist) For more songs/kpop singers: "Rainism" by *Bi Rain* (Rly old school, REALLY), "The Best Present" by *Bi Rain* (His newest song that I know of, he's still amazing), also *TVXQ* and *Shinhwa* . Those are on the tip of the tongue, everyone knows about these songs, if you say *Old School Kpop* . I have to mention *SNSD* (aka Girls Generation) and *Super Junior* , since they were some of the groups that brought kpop into my attention, back in 2012. And then there's *F(x)* , *4Minute* , *2ne1* , *BigBang* , and many more, but this are the ones that come to mind first, since they were rly big when I got interested. (There's more, like... Boyfriend and B.A.P but I gotta say I did not listen to much of those. I always saw kpop as just a different type of pop, with not rly many faves, and, although I like it a lot - and there is so many nice ppl innthe groups - I never rly stanned anyone before BTS and even then, it took me a while to get to know their work and all) Anyway, I hope this helps a bit.
It would be interesting if y'all reacted to Seo Taiji and Boys "Comeback Home" (1995) and listen to BTS' remake of "Comeback Home" (2017). Both are dope in their own ways!
Also, the quote that RM states in the begining " There may come a day when we may loose buts not today, today we fight ". It is from The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Not the original quote but you can tell it was inspired from this quote.
I am a HARDCORE BTS stan. I only stan BTS. 😂But please do react to other groups as well. K-pop has A LOT to offer in general. Tq for loving BTS. I purple U
As for suggestions.. An oldie but a goodie is BTS's 'Danger'. Also check out iKON's 'Bling Bling' and Big Bang's 'Fantastic Baby'. Also for an 'old school' video, Big Bang's 'Lies' and 'Haru Haru'. Possibly BoA's 'Girl On Top'.
Some old school K-pop: Seotaiji and the Boys- Comeback Home, Park Ji Yoon-Coming of age Ceremony, Shinee- replay (honestly any of their songs), Rain- rainism, Girls’ Generation-I got a Boy, Exo-k- Mama, Ikon-Anthem ( this ones not really an old school song but it has an old school hip hop feel to it). Thx for the reaction💜
You can also count on BTS to provide high quality music videos and dope choreographies. On top of that, they use their music to tell their own stories and express messages of hope to the youth of today. I totally respect them! Thank you so much for the reaction!
Winner fool, NCT 127 7th sense,big bang bang bang,Jay park all I wanna do, Jay park Aquaman,Jay park solo, SHINee married to the music, SHINee replay, SHINee 1of 1, ikon rthyme ta,ikon Bling bling,
Shinhwa: Perfect Man! From them an entire era of boy bands were born. Many of today's kpop groups look to them as an example, even going so far as to celebrate Shinhwa's success by covering many of their song. BTS did Perfect Man!
Zico on the BLOCK Mixtape Vol 1 (Dead President, Attention, Get Em High, Mosquito) - for more "old skool" style Korean hip hop... I can't believe this was released 8 years ago now! Zico - BERMUDA TRIANGLE (Feat. Crush, DEAN) (ENG SUB) MV for his newer music.
Evolution of Kpop: - Seo Taiji & Boys - Come Back Home - H.O.T - We are the Future - Rain - Rainism - Girls Generation - Gee - Big Bang - Fantastic baby - BTS - DNA
If there was one song Id like BTS to really perform on a global audience (BBMAs, Grammy's, wherever), it's this one. Im ready for the hype! The goosebumps everybody will get! It's just a really great feel-great song.
There is the band Shinhwa that is having their 20th anniversary. They are in the Guinness world record as the only group without breakups or having a member leave. They debuted in 1998!
Cypher pt 2 the sickest imo. However, not really old school. I think they meant more like older kpop stuff, like Super Junior, Shinhwa, Shinee, or maybe the best for them to check out - BigBang
Not old old school, but old school compared to what they've reacted to mostly.. I didn't realise I needed to specify that, of course I'm not talking about 90s or 2000s kpop, I just meant a little older lol
@@anao.6837 I guess I misunderstood what they meant, but if you dont like what I said, then you can recommend them old school kpop, cause apparantly you seem know what it is.
freaking love it bro awesome video mates, love your videos, this is one of my favs. just started doin reactions and stuff hope theyre good too. keep em coming love it. always so good
They are dancing on a round, polished granite slab in an actual quarry in South Korea...and, yes, there is a very good episode of the behind the scenes making of this video. Well worth the watch. 😊
Thank you for not saying you want to listen to all music and not just bts. I hate it when a channel just turns in to a bts react channel that only raves about how good they are and not give criticism.
Such an underdog anthem. I love this video. Classic BTS. This location is in Korea, and yes, they were very cold during the MV shoot. You can see it with the behind the scenes. You can find all of their dance choreo and behind the scenes, and vlogs on their UA-cam channel, Bangtantv
I recommend Epik High(early 2000s), they're not kpop, but korean hip hop. They're great lyricists. They actually inspired some BTS members to pursue music. Some of their old MVs that I love are: Peace Day, Fan, Paris, Fly, Map the soul there is an Eng version), 1 minute 1 second, Breakdown, Wannabe & High Technology, and Spoiler.
Wow, you guys are doing great with how you've entered into your Kpop/BTS journey! You've seen quite a few of BTS's iconic music videos that so far have given you a good handle on what they're like, how they perform, and how they present themselves with their vocals, choreography and lyrics. Now, there are a couple different directions that you can choose between as you continue. BTS is known for their highly synchronized choreography, but you don't see the complete dance routines in most of the MVs where there are cuts, scene changes, different settings, etc. So I strongly recommend you watch some of their DANCE PRACTICES; these are amazing and show how much they put into their challenging choreographies. They work with several of the top choreographers in the world, like KEONE MADRID and KYLE HANAGAMI. These guys send them a video with the general idea for the dance, their personal teacher learns it and then teaches it to them. Sometime you should watch the Keone Madrid submission for FIRE, ......ua-cam.com/video/p47gpTYwqB4/v-deo.html then check out the BTS Dance Practice for it. ........ua-cam.com/video/sWuYspuN6U8/v-deo.html Awesome! Before I say any more about the dance practices, I just want to tell you to take a look at the finished music video for the song DOPE; it was the breakout MV that heralded the beginning of BTS's recognition on the worldwide music stage! And have the subtitles on; they're important! Also, there are many many MVs that are part of a greater whole and need to be watched in a specific order, or you will be thoroughly confused! But for now, I want to introduce you to the Dance Practices that first got me into BTS. Here is DANGER: ua-cam.com/video/vJwHIpEogEY/v-deo.html Next is I NEED U Dance Practice: ua-cam.com/video/hvUZb9NT7EY/v-deo.html Just check out the intricate dance moves, the level of difficulty and the synchronization! These DPs from 3-4-5 years ago, they wore whatever they were comfortable in, and practiced hard....sweaty, worn out, tired, but still on point. This is motivation! But in the last 1-2 years, their DPs have become more streamlined or "formal" in terms of coordinated outfits, well-rehearsed but not perspiring, a newer practice room, etc. Their choreos have become even more beautiful to watch, trying different things, more innovative. Of course you can watch whatever you please in whatever order, but after you've seen DOPE MV (and check out its DP too......it's "dope!"), maybe FIRE MV, then the DPs for DANGER and I NEED U, now I highly recommend you go back to BTS's beginning and see what they were like when they debuted! Believe me, you will be amazed. Even at their debut, they were so polished, so in synch with one another......it's just incredible. And JUNGKOOK rapped quite a bit in the beginning, and he was GREAT!! (He is my Bias, by the way!!) Watch these Dance Practices: NO MORE DREAM WE ARE BULLETPROOF PART 2 N.O BOY IN LUV At this point, you will be pretty well-versed in BTS!! You'll have seen their beginning and their middle years, and you've already watched a lot of their more current stuff. There's a ton of more dance practices, live performances, concert footage, and oodles more. To be aware of the watch-in-order videos, this is entering the BTS universe where they are telling a complicated and amazing story that continues through many MVs and is still ongoing in the presentation time (did I say the present?....um, well...). It begins in the HYYH Era (THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MOMENT IN LIFE) in 2015, with the following MVs: I NEED U (19+); PROLOGUE; RUN; YOUNG FOREVER. That's the first Era, to get you started, if you so desire. I hope you enjoy the videos I've listed above. I'm excited to see what direction you choose to take at this point! Please feel free to ask questions or request clarification. Good luck!
For a thrwoback classic that is constantly covered by other groups check out TVXQ Mirotic. They are Legends. Also Shinhwa This Love, HOT Candy, 2pm Heartbeat, Big bang Lies or their song Haru Haru as well
Seo Taiji and the boys is the old school kpop they were like the first groups that shaped how kpop groups are today. Bts covered one of their songs no more dream. You should also check out H.O.T
TVXQ - Mirotic (2008). Amazing song by an amazing group that unfortunately split in 2009 because of issues with the company, but this song is one of their last ones as a group of 5. At their peak, they were the largest boyband in Asia and helped pave the way for groups like Big Bang and BTS! I would also recommend watching their Japanese ballads live. I would look up Tohoshinki when looking up their Japanese ballads cause that was their name in Japan! Some great Japanese ballads by them are "Why Did I Fall In Love With You", "Stand By U", "Love In The Ice" and "Bolero". In my opinion theres very few groups that can harmonize or sing acapella like they could.
Omg yay I'm so glad you want to check out old school k-pop :D I personally believe no one should be a fan of just one or two groups, they don't know what they're missing out on! I'm checking out your reactions in a chronological order (oldest first), so once I'm done, I'll give you a list of recommendations :D Btw love your reactions
Man, rewatching these videos with y’all just reminds me of how fucking SMOOTH their dancing and transitions are. Y’all should check out Seo Taiji amd the Boys. BTS did a remake of one of their songs and performed with Seo Taiji onstage for his 25th Anniversary concert. It was epic!
For me, the best BTS songs to show non-kpop fans are DOPE and FIRE, coz those songs are for everyone I think. Just my opinion coz, in my experience, I never got why people like BTS when I watched something like Blood Sweat and Tears or even DNA but when I saw DOPE and FIRE I began to appreciate their newer songs.
Btw if u guys wants to hear old kpop or the revolutionary one. Check out Seo Taiji & Boys like one of his best song "come back home". They're the one who start kpop revolution in korea when their announce retired from kpop, it makes chaos all over korea. You can check their story in youtube too. Also their old school kpop group like H.O.T, Sech kies, Turbo if u interest.
The very first k-pop song I ever liked was All Your Dreams by Shinhwa. They originally released it about 20 years ago. It's a far cry from modern k-pop but I really like it.
I really hope someone recommended older groups to you. Second generation kpop groups (debuted between 2004ish-2012ish) like Super Junior, Shinee, Block B and BigBang. BigBang is the group which is credited with steering kpop to its’ current sound by adding hiphop/rap to their songs. They really started something that has had a huge impact on today’s groups, as most have at least one rapper. The group is full of heavy hitters that are big in the industry to the point they only need one name like Cher or Madonna: G-Dragon, Taeyang and TOP. All three rap and at least the first two sing. They have great songs in BigBang, like BangBangBang and Fantastic Baby, but also solo and duo songs like Good Boy, Zutter, Crayon, Ringa Linga, and Eyes Nose Lips. G-Dragon is also the most copyrighted Korean artist, with almost 200 copyrights to his name.
Old School kpop is Shinhwa (they’re still active today, and the longest running kpop group, Their on their 20th year) and there’s also Sechskies (in 2016 they reunited and are active again but missing one member) and girlgroups there are S.E.S and Fin.kl (s.e.s reunited for Their 20th year last year but not active and same wire fin.kl but they didn’t meet up)
I think it took them 3 days to shoot that MV. They had to bear the very cold weather at that time. You can check out the MV's "behind the scenes". Really awesome!

If you guys want some old school you should check out Seo Taiji & Boys, They are the fore fathers of the Kpop genre. they debuted back in 1992 with the song Nan Arayo. Not that long ago BTS did a remix of their song Come Back Home and even did a special concert woth Seo Taiji. I know this wasn't suppose to be about BTS but it was just an awesome having the first kpop artist praise BTS lol because Seo Taiji had once said something along the lines of that this was now BTS's era. like it had once been his.
NCT U - 7th Sense, Boss, Baby Don't Stop NCT 127 - Touch and Chain (dance practice) NCT 2018 - Black on Black They aren't old school but I like them a lot. 2NE1 is the only old school k-pop group I can think of (that I enjoyed) . "I Am The Best" is one of my favs by them.
BTS mvs are breathtakingly amazing but when you watch their live performances (Not Today, Blood Sweat n Tears, Fire, Mic Drop, etc) you will amazed more. They are perfect representation for TALENT and HARDWORK. They are so crazy! Like real crazy talented artist! 👍👍👍
I can only really suggest kpop from 2009, 2010, and up; considering, that that was around the time, I became a fan. SS501 - Deja Vu Afterschool - Bang BoA - Only One + Hurricane Venus (released, probably around 2012) Rain - Love Song Kara - Lupin
You should check out Epik High. They're a korean hip hop korean band that has been together for more than 10 years now and they're great. They're actually one of the biggest inspirations of the BTS's rap line.
Edit: sorry in advance the moment i started typing i couldn't stop lol about the Korean music industry: they don't just make songs they manufacture them. entertainment companies most of the time make the music, lyrics and videos for the singers (hire the right people and so on). the singers and groups are under contract by those companies who decide for them what they do where they go and in what way. and those singers join that company they are in, at a very young age and have (supported by the company) years of learning and practicing dancing, singing, camera readiness and everything needed to become a star. at the end of all this they are hand picked from dozens and sometimes hundreds of trainees of said company to join a group that will debut. each group does many styles of music, and many songs have many styles of genres. the idols themselves are working on those dance moves and singing, many hours a day for many weeks if not months. both sides are dedicated but its important to note that most the time the end product (song, video, lyrics and more) belongs to the company and are only permitted to use by the singers). also important to say on a final note: the companies work the idols hard but most of the time aren't tyrants and they do reward their singers if they work hard (again most of the time) and even more so if they get successful enough. TL;DR - kpop groups and singers are backed up by major companies who invest in them for the long run years in advance. that's why you see a huge production of video, dancing and everything else. too many songs to recommend so i'll stick to one song per group and only few per generation: old kpop: DJ DOC - run to you (90s kpop) Seo Taiji and Boys - come back home (90s kpop. fun fact: one of the singers of this group is a founder and CEO of YG entertainment which produces the big names like Blackpink and Psy, those are 2 names i think you know, and many many more) modern kpop started mid 2000s to 2013. a few modern kpop groups each with many great songs: super junior - sorry sorry Brown Eyed Girls - Abracadabra BigBang - Fantastic baby Wonder girls - Tell me SHINee - ring ding dong 2PM - Hands up modern kpop as it is now (well now and past 4-5 years): 2NE1 - i am the best Red velvet - bad boy Girl's Generation - I got a boy NCT 127 - Cherry bomb Monsta X - Hero sorry if a group wasn't in the list they were just random from the top of my head.
Know its been a while but older k-pop recommendations. Rain - Rainism, Shinwa - Perfect Man, History - Might Just Die, Shinee - Replay, Park Ji Yoon - Adult Ceremony, Jonghyun - Crazy (Guilty Pleasure)
Ok so there are 2 kpop groups that i love wich are BTS and BigBang😊big bang are like the gods of kpop in my opinion and their leader G-Dragon had s lot of influence in this!please react to Bigbang-fantastic baby and you will see!great reactions😍💪🏻
If you want throwbacks take a listen to Rain. He's basically the father of KPOP I love his songs Love Story and 30 Sexy. Also Mirotic by TVXQ is THAT SONG. BoA is also a very notable female artist that you should check out. She is the Queen of Kpop.
BTS quotes Dr Martin Luther King, Jr in this MV. "If you can't fly, then run. If you can't run, then walk. If you can't walk, then crawl." You can see the behind the scenes on this one. It was outside, it was very cold. I don't think there is any CGI at all.
bumping this up
indeed i love behind the scenes videos, i posted the link for them, even if they don't react to it hopefully they'll watch it.
there is no cgi based on their behind the scene.
You could recognize RM from his silhouette you’re officially an army now congrats & welcome to the fandom
Helin‘s Suga 😂😂😂 That’s whats up! Thanks. I’m trying you know. I’m a fan. ✊🏽
Seo Taiji started kpop (and walked away after it became an industry). You could check him out?! He said BTS were his sons 😎
THIS!

Seo Taiji and the Boys did the original COME BACK HOME (covered by BTS very nicely) and there's the cutest video of them performing it live. I love it!
Rumy SES is a throwback kpop girl group!
When you said "old school kpop" my eyes lit up 😂. I wanna recommend Shinhwa then. They're the only kpop that has been together for 20 years and has never lost a member or broken up and gotten back together. You should react to Wild Eyes (2001), Perfect Man (I can't remember the year for this one), and Only One (2000). I also recommend some old school YG (the company Blackpink is from). I think y'all would like the songs YG Family - Famillenium (i might have spelled that wrong oops 😅) which came out in 1999, Jinusean - Phone Number, and YG Family - Hip Hop Gentleman
Word
I WAS ABOUT TO RECOMMEND SHINHWA TYSM FOR REMEMBERING THESE LEGENDS ♥♥♥
No problem! I can never leave out the legends themselves 😌💜
AGUST D “AGUST D” please
You should mention he's from BTS so they can know
They might like it. Just subtitles are must :)
Up
Agreed, was gonna type the same thing!!!😇🔥😁
The MV has English sub.
I would recommend for „old school kpop“
Big Bang - Fantastic Baby
Shinee - Sherlock or Lucifer
Super Junior - Sorry Sorry
TVXQ - Something
2NE1 - Fire
Snsd - Gee
Beyza Öztürk and mirotic by tvxq
Those arent the old school kpop. We gotta go back to the 90's
Ubiquitous_Star I know that those aren‘t old school but those are iconic older groups/mvs.
Beyza Öztürk : For old school Big Bang Haru Haru, Lies
Seo Taiji and The Boys
1st Generation Kpop: Seo Taji & the Boys, SHINHWA, H.O.T, Sechskies, Fin.KL (I don't know any other artist smh)
2nd Generation Kpop: Super Junior, Big Bang, 2NE1, Girls Generation, TVXQ, SHINEE, Brown Eyed Girls, Wonder Girls, BAP, BTOB, 2PM, F(x), 2NE1, INFINITE. (Idk if this is 2nd generation or 1st generation but I love the song Rainism by Rain!)
3rd Generation: BTS (Of course) EXO, GOT7, Blackpink, NCT, MONSTA X, WINNER, IKON, SEVENTEEN, PENTAGON, ASTRO, RED VELVET, VIXX, KARD, there's so many good groups!
P.S. Blood, Sweat, and Tears choreography give me MJ vibes too lol
You forgot about
H.O.T
You forgot SHINEE
BubbaCrane I’m sorry I don’t know all groups😕 and these are just the ones I can remember from the top of my head but thanks for the addition😉
Camila C. Oh shit I really have to go back and edit that one in🤦🏾♀️
SHINHWA
It's a great MV - & it's got great lyrics. They used an MLK, Jr. quote in one of the verses, so don't forget to turn on CCs for great BTS lyrics 😉 (or maybe look up translations before/after you watch the MV cuz sometimes there's a lot going on in their MVs).
Here's the verse I'm talking about btw:
"If you can’t fly, then run
Today we will survive
If you can’t run, then walk
Today we will survive
If you can’t walk, then crawl
Even if you have to crawl, gear up"
Another great verse in this song:
"Throw it up! Throw it up!
Forget about the fear in your eyes
Break it up! Break it up!
Break the glass ceiling that cages you
Turn it up! (Turn it up!)
Burn it up! (Burn it up!)
Until the day of victory (fight!)
Don’t kneel, don’t collapse
That’s (do) not today!"
translation credit to genius[.]com
Ohhh old school kpop?
Rain-Rainisim (this is Fckn iconic y'all need to listen)
Tvxq-Mirotic
Brown eyed girls-Abracadabra
Wondergirls-
Tell me
Nobody
Lee Jung Hyun - Wa (this ones from the early 90s, techno and iconic. Watch the live performance!)
Anything early Superjunior(their debut song; Twin(knockout) was honestly a great mix of funky beats and grunge and it was amazing)
On a seperate note, if you haven't, y'all should check out Yoon mi rae. She's the Korean hip hop queen.
React to who is bts ? The seven member of bangtan
SHINee - Lucifer (2010)
Super Junior - Sorry Sorry (2009)
SNSD (Girl’s Generation) - Gee (2009)
Bigbang - Haru Haru (2008)
2ne1 - I am the best (2011)
These are some iconic old kpop songs 😊 would love to see yall reacting to it!
(It’s soooo different from the kpop of nowadays, you gonna be shook lmao)
d-did you just say a song from 2011 is old school... i think they meant 80's and 90's
Don’t forget Shinhwa- Perfect Man (2002)
TVXQ Hug...
Caio Passos 2011 is a different era of kpop, so I already see it as “old school kpop” (and tbh i dont think a lot of kpop stans actually know kpop from the 80’s lmfao)
Kumari Ross omfgggg i forgot that one
The only "old school kpop" that I liked are the songs BTS covered. Like Seo Taiji's "Come Back Home", Shinhwa's "Perfect Man", Kim Sung Jae's "As I Told You", etc.
I love the original version of As I Told You!! the outfits are hysterical omg 🤣
Big Bang, 2ne1,and 4minute are some older kpop that I love! Not super old, though. Some of the 90s stuff is dope but I don't know the artist names
If we're talking real old school and not just songs from 10 years ago.
1TYM - One Love (released in 2000)
(One actually produces for BLACK PINK)
G.O.D - To Mother (released in 1999)
H.O.T - Outside Castle (released in 2000)
This was all before UA-cam. The struggle was real back then to even get to watch these music videos.
I'm not a specialist, so just from what I remember, *Seo Taiji* basically brought the pop/hip-hop trend in an westernized way to S. Korea, back in 1995, *"Come Back Home"* by him, was one of the biggest hits at the time ( BTS has a version of this song since Taiji called them to perform in his 25th career anniversary). Then the "trend" evolved into this huge industry and kind of a genre (although it's just pop but in korean and with their own twist)
For more songs/kpop singers: "Rainism" by *Bi Rain* (Rly old school, REALLY), "The Best Present" by *Bi Rain* (His newest song that I know of, he's still amazing), also *TVXQ* and *Shinhwa* . Those are on the tip of the tongue, everyone knows about these songs, if you say *Old School Kpop* . I have to mention *SNSD* (aka Girls Generation) and *Super Junior* , since they were some of the groups that brought kpop into my attention, back in 2012. And then there's *F(x)* , *4Minute* , *2ne1* , *BigBang* , and many more, but this are the ones that come to mind first, since they were rly big when I got interested.
(There's more, like... Boyfriend and B.A.P but I gotta say I did not listen to much of those. I always saw kpop as just a different type of pop, with not rly many faves, and, although I like it a lot - and there is so many nice ppl innthe groups - I never rly stanned anyone before BTS and even then, it took me a while to get to know their work and all)
Anyway, I hope this helps a bit.
It would be interesting if y'all reacted to Seo Taiji and Boys "Comeback Home" (1995) and listen to BTS' remake of "Comeback Home" (2017). Both are dope in their own ways!
yaaaaaas
YASS
Also, the quote that RM states in the begining " There may come a day when we may loose buts not today, today we fight ". It is from The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Not the original quote but you can tell it was inspired from this quote.
Damn... Now i want to rewatch the Lord of the Rings trilogy! lmao
wtf Im a hardcore lotr fan and never noticed this, you've blessed me thank you haha
I think you would freak out seeing the live or dance practice version of this.
I am a HARDCORE BTS stan. I only stan BTS. 😂But please do react to other groups as well. K-pop has A LOT to offer in general. Tq for loving BTS. I purple U
B.A.P one shot, awesome song and video
They build that stage in that actual place somewhere in corea there is no green screen you can see it in the making of the video!!! Theyre awesome!!!♡
This mv filmed in winter!!!! full two days!!!!
BTS practiced 13 hours every day 8 years long, together Trainee years 3-5 years, Debut 6 years
As for suggestions.. An oldie but a goodie is BTS's 'Danger'. Also check out iKON's 'Bling Bling' and Big Bang's 'Fantastic Baby'. Also for an 'old school' video, Big Bang's 'Lies' and 'Haru Haru'. Possibly BoA's 'Girl On Top'.
Shinee is a good kpop group that’s been out since 2009. you should check out their music
Some old school K-pop: Seotaiji and the Boys- Comeback Home, Park Ji Yoon-Coming of age Ceremony, Shinee- replay (honestly any of their songs), Rain- rainism, Girls’ Generation-I got a Boy, Exo-k- Mama, Ikon-Anthem ( this ones not really an old school song but it has an old school hip hop feel to it). Thx for the reaction💜
Older kpop groups? Check out Big Bang! Songs like Bang Bang Bang, Bae Bae, Fantastic Baby, and haru haru and lies (much older)
You can also count on BTS to provide high quality music videos and dope choreographies. On top of that, they use their music to tell their own stories and express messages of hope to the youth of today. I totally respect them! Thank you so much for the reaction!
Winner fool, NCT 127 7th sense,big bang bang bang,Jay park all I wanna do, Jay park Aquaman,Jay park solo, SHINee married to the music, SHINee replay, SHINee 1of 1, ikon rthyme ta,ikon Bling bling,
Yoon min rae - Angel
Shes korean and black and the song is amazing.
The sound is so....huh....i get so happy everytime i see it.
Shinhwa: Perfect Man! From them an entire era of boy bands were born. Many of today's kpop groups look to them as an example, even going so far as to celebrate Shinhwa's success by covering many of their song. BTS did Perfect Man!
Yoooooooo ok guys this needs to go to the top of your list BTS - IDOL
Love yours react . Please react Fire _ BTS
BAP has some good music too! Wake me up, hands up, etc.
Zico on the BLOCK Mixtape Vol 1 (Dead President, Attention, Get Em High, Mosquito)
- for more "old skool" style Korean hip hop... I can't believe this was released 8 years ago now!
Zico - BERMUDA TRIANGLE (Feat. Crush, DEAN) (ENG SUB) MV for his newer music.
Evolution of Kpop:
- Seo Taiji & Boys - Come Back Home
- H.O.T - We are the Future
- Rain - Rainism
- Girls Generation - Gee
- Big Bang - Fantastic baby
- BTS - DNA
If there was one song Id like BTS to really perform on a global audience (BBMAs, Grammy's, wherever), it's this one.
Im ready for the hype! The goosebumps everybody will get! It's just a really great feel-great song.
The block of ice wasn’t cgi! It’s was real ice!
Shinee replay is definitely a back in the day bop
There is the band Shinhwa that is having their 20th anniversary. They are in the Guinness world record as the only group without breakups or having a member leave. They debuted in 1998!
If you want some old school stuff then listen to bts cyphers 1, 2, and 3. I also recommend cypher 4 cause it's a bop.
Cypher pt 2 the sickest imo. However, not really old school. I think they meant more like older kpop stuff, like Super Junior, Shinhwa, Shinee, or maybe the best for them to check out - BigBang
????? That aint old school kpop
@@shadowzara I thought they were talking about the genre of old school. I guess I misheard.
Not old old school, but old school compared to what they've reacted to mostly.. I didn't realise I needed to specify that, of course I'm not talking about 90s or 2000s kpop, I just meant a little older lol
@@anao.6837 I guess I misunderstood what they meant, but if you dont like what I said, then you can recommend them old school kpop, cause apparantly you seem know what it is.
freaking love it bro awesome video mates, love your videos, this is one of my favs. just started doin reactions and stuff hope theyre good too. keep em coming love it. always so good
love the guy to the right, his voice is smooth & I love his insight
React to Seo Taiji's Come Back Home (oldschool) and the BTS' version of it
2ne1 crush , can’t nobody live ver , 2ne1. The 👸 of kpop 💥💥💥💥
Some old kpop songs I still listen to is Mirotric by TVXQ, Replay by Shinee, My Name or Girls on Too by BoA, Irony or Tell Me by Wonder Girls.
love Mirotic- left a link in a comment and would love to see a reaction to it.
They are dancing on a round, polished granite slab in an actual quarry in South Korea...and, yes, there is a very good episode of the behind the scenes making of this video. Well worth the watch. 😊
Watch DOPE next
Thank you for not saying you want to listen to all music and not just bts. I hate it when a channel just turns in to a bts react channel that only raves about how good they are and not give criticism.
Yes you're right they do have a behind the scenes for this 😅 link in the comments below..
ua-cam.com/video/48LZF2JC1UU/v-deo.html
Such an underdog anthem. I love this video. Classic BTS. This location is in Korea, and yes, they were very cold during the MV shoot. You can see it with the behind the scenes. You can find all of their dance choreo and behind the scenes, and vlogs on their UA-cam channel, Bangtantv
I recommend Epik High(early 2000s), they're not kpop, but korean hip hop. They're great lyricists. They actually inspired some BTS members to pursue music. Some of their old MVs that I love are: Peace Day, Fan, Paris, Fly, Map the soul there is an Eng version), 1 minute 1 second, Breakdown, Wannabe & High Technology, and Spoiler.
Wow, you guys are doing great with how you've entered into your Kpop/BTS journey! You've seen quite a few of BTS's iconic music videos that so far have given you a good handle on what they're like, how they perform, and how they present themselves with their vocals, choreography and lyrics. Now, there are a couple different directions that you can choose between as you continue.
BTS is known for their highly synchronized choreography, but you don't see the complete dance routines in most of the MVs where there are cuts, scene changes, different settings, etc. So I strongly recommend you watch some of their DANCE PRACTICES; these are amazing and show how much they put into their challenging choreographies. They work with several of the top choreographers in the world, like KEONE MADRID and KYLE HANAGAMI. These guys send them a video with the general idea for the dance, their personal teacher learns it and then teaches it to them. Sometime you should watch the Keone Madrid submission for FIRE, ......ua-cam.com/video/p47gpTYwqB4/v-deo.html
then check out the BTS Dance Practice for it. ........ua-cam.com/video/sWuYspuN6U8/v-deo.html
Awesome!
Before I say any more about the dance practices, I just want to tell you to take a look at the finished music video for the song DOPE; it was the breakout MV that heralded the beginning of BTS's recognition on the worldwide music stage! And have the subtitles on; they're important!
Also, there are many many MVs that are part of a greater whole and need to be watched in a specific order, or you will be thoroughly confused!
But for now, I want to introduce you to the Dance Practices that first got me into BTS. Here is DANGER:
ua-cam.com/video/vJwHIpEogEY/v-deo.html
Next is I NEED U Dance Practice:
ua-cam.com/video/hvUZb9NT7EY/v-deo.html
Just check out the intricate dance moves, the level of difficulty and the synchronization! These DPs from 3-4-5 years ago, they wore whatever they were comfortable in, and practiced hard....sweaty, worn out, tired, but still on point. This is motivation! But in the last 1-2 years, their DPs have become more streamlined or "formal" in terms of coordinated outfits, well-rehearsed but not perspiring, a newer practice room, etc. Their choreos have become even more beautiful to watch, trying different things, more innovative.
Of course you can watch whatever you please in whatever order, but after you've seen DOPE MV (and check out its DP too......it's "dope!"), maybe FIRE MV, then the DPs for DANGER and I NEED U, now I highly recommend you go back to BTS's beginning and see what they were like when they debuted! Believe me, you will be amazed. Even at their debut, they were so polished, so in synch with one another......it's just incredible. And JUNGKOOK rapped quite a bit in the beginning, and he was GREAT!! (He is my Bias, by the way!!)
Watch these Dance Practices:
NO MORE DREAM
WE ARE BULLETPROOF PART 2
N.O
BOY IN LUV
At this point, you will be pretty well-versed in BTS!! You'll have seen their beginning and their middle years, and you've already watched a lot of their more current stuff. There's a ton of more dance practices, live performances, concert footage, and oodles more.
To be aware of the watch-in-order videos, this is entering the BTS universe where they are telling a complicated and amazing story that continues through many MVs and is still ongoing in the presentation time (did I say the present?....um, well...). It begins in the HYYH Era (THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MOMENT IN LIFE) in 2015, with the following MVs: I NEED U (19+); PROLOGUE; RUN; YOUNG FOREVER.
That's the first Era, to get you started, if you so desire. I hope you enjoy the videos I've listed above. I'm excited to see what direction you choose to take at this point! Please feel free to ask questions or request clarification. Good luck!
How about Korean K Hiphop
Let's start from 'Eung Freestyle' :)
ua-cam.com/video/QljRe99OMCU/v-deo.html
Omg the "RICKYYYYY" caught off guard, I laughed so hard hahahaha. Thank you for that ❤
For a thrwoback classic that is constantly covered by other groups check out TVXQ Mirotic. They are Legends. Also Shinhwa This Love, HOT Candy, 2pm Heartbeat, Big bang Lies or their song Haru Haru as well
be sure to check out their new video 'IDOL' it comes out tomorrow!
Please react to Kwill - Please Don't... It's like essential for Kpop reactors to react to that music video...
yes!!! :D
😋
Seo Taiji and the boys is the old school kpop they were like the first groups that shaped how kpop groups are today. Bts covered one of their songs no more dream. You should also check out H.O.T
TVXQ - Mirotic (2008). Amazing song by an amazing group that unfortunately split in 2009 because of issues with the company, but this song is one of their last ones as a group of 5. At their peak, they were the largest boyband in Asia and helped pave the way for groups like Big Bang and BTS!
I would also recommend watching their Japanese ballads live. I would look up Tohoshinki when looking up their Japanese ballads cause that was their name in Japan! Some great Japanese ballads by them are "Why Did I Fall In Love With You", "Stand By U", "Love In The Ice" and "Bolero". In my opinion theres very few groups that can harmonize or sing acapella like they could.
Stray Kids - My Pace
They're a very young group, just debuted this year but produce all their music themselves!!
Old school is Ringa by Taeyang. Vid choreographer is the one who did Rhianna’s Super Bowl
Omg yay I'm so glad you want to check out old school k-pop :D I personally believe no one should be a fan of just one or two groups, they don't know what they're missing out on! I'm checking out your reactions in a chronological order (oldest first), so once I'm done, I'll give you a list of recommendations :D
Btw love your reactions
Man, rewatching these videos with y’all just reminds me of how fucking SMOOTH their dancing and transitions are. Y’all should check out Seo Taiji amd the Boys. BTS did a remake of one of their songs and performed with Seo Taiji onstage for his 25th Anniversary concert. It was epic!
For me, the best BTS songs to show non-kpop fans are DOPE and FIRE, coz those songs are for everyone I think. Just my opinion coz, in my experience, I never got why people like BTS when I watched something like Blood Sweat and Tears or even DNA but when I saw DOPE and FIRE I began to appreciate their newer songs.
Btw if u guys wants to hear old kpop or the revolutionary one. Check out Seo Taiji & Boys like one of his best song "come back home". They're the one who start kpop revolution in korea when their announce retired from kpop, it makes chaos all over korea. You can check their story in youtube too.
Also their old school kpop group like H.O.T, Sech kies, Turbo if u interest.
This was one of the songs that got me hooked! Y'all already reacted to the other one (Mic Drop).
The very first k-pop song I ever liked was All Your Dreams by Shinhwa. They originally released it about 20 years ago. It's a far cry from modern k-pop but I really like it.
Please React to Epik High and Tablo (who’s part of Epik High) songs with lyrics.
Some more awesome artist:
Big Bang and 2NE1
Monsta X and seventeen
M K yass epik high deserves more appreciation tbh
Am I the only one who replayed Jungkook’s solo part literally a 100 times? I can’t describe it there’s just something cool and iconic about that part?
Huzi I get that feeling a lot with Jungkooks parts in songs (MicDrop,Anpanman, Paradise)
it's cool, but the original dance practice where he slowly rolls on the ground is epic. i liked that more! lol
I really hope someone recommended older groups to you. Second generation kpop groups (debuted between 2004ish-2012ish) like Super Junior, Shinee, Block B and BigBang. BigBang is the group which is credited with steering kpop to its’ current sound by adding hiphop/rap to their songs. They really started something that has had a huge impact on today’s groups, as most have at least one rapper. The group is full of heavy hitters that are big in the industry to the point they only need one name like Cher or Madonna: G-Dragon, Taeyang and TOP. All three rap and at least the first two sing. They have great songs in BigBang, like BangBangBang and Fantastic Baby, but also solo and duo songs like Good Boy, Zutter, Crayon, Ringa Linga, and Eyes Nose Lips. G-Dragon is also the most copyrighted Korean artist, with almost 200 copyrights to his name.
Cyphers 1-4 from the rap line
Please react to K. Will "please don't".... it's a must....
Most of the BTS choreography reminds me Michael Jackson as well so I totally agree with what he said
Old School kpop is Shinhwa (they’re still active today, and the longest running kpop group, Their on their 20th year) and there’s also Sechskies (in 2016 they reunited and are active again but missing one member) and girlgroups there are S.E.S and Fin.kl (s.e.s reunited for Their 20th year last year but not active and same wire fin.kl but they didn’t meet up)
For something differenr but a bad ass choreography...SEVENTEEN I DON'T WANNA CRY
when they say "thats dope" i just chuckle to myself and say "no....thats not today"
Another Korean group by the name of NCT U.. Their The 7th Sense MV react to that please?!
Cassandra Denise right they need to react Iam over here refreshing the page 😔😂
I think it took them 3 days to shoot that MV. They had to bear the very cold weather at that time. You can check out the MV's "behind the scenes". Really awesome!

If you guys want some old school you should check out Seo Taiji & Boys, They are the fore fathers of the Kpop genre. they debuted back in 1992 with the song Nan Arayo. Not that long ago BTS did a remix of their song Come Back Home and even did a special concert woth Seo Taiji. I know this wasn't suppose to be about BTS but it was just an awesome having the first kpop artist praise BTS lol because Seo Taiji had once said something along the lines of that this was now BTS's era. like it had once been his.
I think "SHINee" and "BigBang" could count as old school K-Pop? And "Seo Taiji and boys"? :)
Yessss there is a making the video for this haha please watch! Everything was real! Even that huge block of ice!
Actually this is very motivational song. which give you strength and good vibes upon listening...
NCT U - 7th Sense, Boss, Baby Don't Stop
NCT 127 - Touch and Chain (dance practice)
NCT 2018 - Black on Black
They aren't old school but I like them a lot.
2NE1 is the only old school k-pop group I can think of (that I enjoyed) . "I Am The Best" is one of my favs by them.
BTS will be releasing a NEW MV this Friday called IDOL!!!!! Please react to it as soon as you can
In case you didn't know every bts video has subtitles turn the CC on
BTS mvs are breathtakingly amazing but when you watch their live performances (Not Today, Blood Sweat n Tears, Fire, Mic Drop, etc) you will amazed more. They are perfect representation for TALENT and HARDWORK. They are so crazy! Like real crazy talented artist! 👍👍👍
And for girl groups, check out 2NE1's Fire, I Don't Care, I Am The Best, Lonely, Falling in Love, Come Back Home and their final song, Goodbye
I can only really suggest kpop from 2009, 2010, and up; considering, that that was around the time, I became a fan.
SS501 - Deja Vu
Afterschool - Bang
BoA - Only One + Hurricane Venus (released, probably around 2012)
Rain - Love Song
Kara - Lupin
You should check out Epik High. They're a korean hip hop korean band that has been together for more than 10 years now and they're great. They're actually one of the biggest inspirations of the BTS's rap line.
Edit: sorry in advance the moment i started typing i couldn't stop lol
about the Korean music industry:
they don't just make songs they manufacture them. entertainment companies most of the time make the music, lyrics and videos for the singers (hire the right people and so on). the singers and groups are under contract by those companies who decide for them what they do where they go and in what way. and those singers join that company they are in, at a very young age and have (supported by the company) years of learning and practicing dancing, singing, camera readiness and everything needed to become a star. at the end of all this they are hand picked from dozens and sometimes hundreds of trainees of said company to join a group that will debut. each group does many styles of music, and many songs have many styles of genres.
the idols themselves are working on those dance moves and singing, many hours a day for many weeks if not months. both sides are dedicated but its important to note that most the time the end product (song, video, lyrics and more) belongs to the company and are only permitted to use by the singers).
also important to say on a final note: the companies work the idols hard but most of the time aren't tyrants and they do reward their singers if they work hard (again most of the time) and even more so if they get successful enough.
TL;DR - kpop groups and singers are backed up by major companies who invest in them for the long run years in advance.
that's why you see a huge production of video, dancing and everything else.
too many songs to recommend so i'll stick to one song per group and only few per generation:
old kpop:
DJ DOC - run to you
(90s kpop)
Seo Taiji and Boys - come back home
(90s kpop. fun fact: one of the singers of this group is a founder and CEO of YG entertainment which produces the big names like Blackpink and Psy, those are 2 names i think you know, and many many more)
modern kpop started mid 2000s to 2013. a few modern kpop groups each with many great songs:
super junior - sorry sorry
Brown Eyed Girls - Abracadabra
BigBang - Fantastic baby
Wonder girls - Tell me
SHINee - ring ding dong
2PM - Hands up
modern kpop as it is now (well now and past 4-5 years):
2NE1 - i am the best
Red velvet - bad boy
Girl's Generation - I got a boy
NCT 127 - Cherry bomb
Monsta X - Hero
sorry if a group wasn't in the list they were just random from the top of my head.
Bts - save me
I had to stop bobbing my head to see you guys bobbing your heads 😂
I know y’all said “old school” Kpop. I think seventeen is a good group to listen to. Their choreography is amazing and so as their vocals.
Know its been a while but older k-pop recommendations. Rain - Rainism, Shinwa - Perfect Man, History - Might Just Die, Shinee - Replay, Park Ji Yoon - Adult Ceremony, Jonghyun - Crazy (Guilty Pleasure)
Loved your reactions guys. Gave me goose bumps watching it again 😊🤗
Just found your channel. You guys deserve many more subs! Love the thoughtful commentary.
Ok so there are 2 kpop groups that i love wich are BTS and BigBang😊big bang are like the gods of kpop in my opinion and their leader G-Dragon had s lot of influence in this!please react to Bigbang-fantastic baby and you will see!great reactions😍💪🏻
If you want throwbacks take a listen to Rain. He's basically the father of KPOP I love his songs Love Story and 30 Sexy. Also Mirotic by TVXQ is THAT SONG. BoA is also a very notable female artist that you should check out. She is the Queen of Kpop.
exo - mama, exo- monster, 4minute- crazy, 4minute -hate, B.A.P-one shot, Boa-eat you up etc
