It was so nice to see PD smile and laugh and have realisations during this reaction. Kinda similar to what PD said, it's so powerful when a song or performance can make you think 'wow I needed this' or 'I didn't know I needed this', like you finally let go of a breath you didn't realise you were holding. BSS really highlighted that with 'Fighting' and 'Second Wave'.
I live in Korea and this cb has been everywhere. One of my labmates (I'm a grad student at KAIST) turned to me one of these days "I heard that happiness doesn't come from grades but from BooSeokSoon". Another labmate, upon hearing me talk about my experience seeing Hoshi live for the first time at Caratland, asked me "oh, so your bias is from BSS?". It's been playing everywhere in restaurants, convenience stores, even the other tracks they released. So overall it was amazing to witness that, as a Hoshi-biased carat who loves BSS!
i think why their songs are like up lifitng people is because their tagline is "happiness doesnt come from grades, but from bss" this came up to me from the "we're your bss" lyrics
I feel like this M/V was exactly what we needed. I feel like kpop has been I guess so much more “serious” in a sense and I just love fun kpop. You can tell how much they enjoyed filming and making this.
Hoshi said in the interview with Suga that they (BSS) just want to have fun and give everyone especially carats the positive energy. They don't really want to care about the results and all thats why you can see them being shocked from time to time everytime they win on music shows. They're genuinely just want to have fun and enjoy this comeback. I love them so much for that!!!!
Their album name "Second Wind" actually means a lot- "Second Wind used to describe the phenomena of magically gaining significant energy and strength during distance running at a stage when the runner feels out of breath or that he or she appears to reach a fatigued state and the feeling of not being able to continue." Another description is... "Second Wind is a phenomenon in endurance sports, such as marathons or road running (as well as other sports), whereby an athlete who is out of breath and too tired to continue (known as "hitting the wall"), suddenly finds the strength to press on at top performance with less exertion. The feeling may be similar to that of a "runner's high", the most obvious difference being that the runner's high occurs after the race is over." Their album starts with Fighting which you can listen in the morning, Lunch during afternoon, and 7pm in the evening. It's really so good, a well-planned comeback with incredible intention. BSS came back just on time when we needed it the most! 5 years? Worth the wait.
Happy birthday, PD! 'Fighting' both the song and MV is so fun, light-hearted, and theatrical that it feels like I'm experiencing a musical and BSS is the trio of the show - like I truly feel as if I'm in an audience watching a musical production command a massive stage with so much energy, it's really refreshing
this is tbh my first time properly listening to a SEVENTEEN song and i'm glad i did! this is such an important topic right now and i'm glad a group that's this popular is adressing it, while everyone else is doing grind culture songs like "I'm so cool look what i got because i work nonstop" and its pretty annoying i also love just the happy vibes and omg YOUNGJI AHH!!! I'm so happy for her this must've been insane
If you haven't you can check out their other songs as they have much more that talks about topics like this, such as BSS debut song "Just Do It", others can be "Clap", HH unit "What's good" and maybe even "Home;Run"
29:27 aw fuck I’m tearing up - seventeen truly comes into our lives somehow at the perfect timing with exactly what you need. so glad this song came to you when you needed it pd!!!
I had no idea how badly korean needed this song, and now I understand why woozi was so confident about this album doing well, and booseoksoon energy is definitely one of the reasons as well. In fact, I enjoy a song because of the lyrics, so it's great that koreans enjoy and appreciate it as well. Everyone deserves this uplifting spirit, thus I hope we can see another booseoksoon comeback soon :)
This promotion cycle was amazing, every content that came from it was amazing. Their circle chart performance, music shows, the CHALLENGES were so cool, the ALBUM!!! Literally everything ✨ made me more of a Carat
The comment about SVT coming into your life whenever you need them...I really relate. They released Heng:garae during a personally difficult time and the lyrics were exactly what I needed to hear. Semicolon was as I was getting back into things, Face the Sun in a moment of strength, change, and progress,...and then this dropped right as I'm struggling to motivate myself to write my senior thesis! They are so special for living such unusual lives and still finding a way to make music that gets everyone through all kinds of struggles...that's why no one can top them for me
It's when you find out, and spot, little details after watching the mv a few times (like Woozi being the kart rider or Seungkwan chasing the coffee that Young-Ji yeets) ...it just gets better and better ♡♡♡♡ PD you can do anything you put your mind to. I believe in you. You are more resilient than you realise. It took me a long time (25+ years)(yes, I am old) to have more faith in myself. I am not quite there yet but I feel a bit more able to take each day as it comes. Sending you all of the love x
I agree that this is a very quintessential seventeen song and even more so in tune with booseoksoon's brand. Seventeen always gave us songs that cheer us up like clap, left and right, home run, just do it, kidult, circle and a lot more. But they made the perfect decision to save this song for bss which is a subunit that consist of energetic members. I love the message of this song so much. I think that's why it gains a lot of attention by korean netizens and got a lot of wins
PD, as you may already know, but i'm writing it down because I want a lot of foreign fans to know. Korea has had a lot of memes on very negative issues in 2021 and 2022. (A typical example is a comedy meme that says, "I will commit suicide with pessimism due to the fall of the coin market.") There were a lot of negative memes among Korean people in their 20s and 30s Fortunately, at the end of 2022 As some positive messages (World Cup Round of 16 or DRX memes, etc.) came out, the gratitude I get from the message, "Let's live hard even if it's hard." At the beginning of 2023, when this song came out, I was enthusiastic about this song, Many people who didn't know SEVENTEEN became fans. The circle chart stage is also a case in point.
From the day I discovered BTS for the first time I also found Seventeen, and have loved them ever since. Over time they went from being my second favourite to my clear favourite. SVT Fighting. Oh, and in case you do not know about it, BSS performed a double bill of ‘Fighting’ and ‘just do it’ at the circle music awards, you have to see it, [reaction or not] they blew the roof off the place.
Your reaction is the only only one that truly matters to me, PD! Seventeen, being a part of your life, puts a lot of depth in your analysis. Your knowledge in the conceptualization and making of videos, korean music history and pop culture is very educational too. You are also very authentic in your reactions because you express your delight and admiration without hesitation. There’s a lot of room for change and growth in your life. Keep moving forward, PD! Fighting! ✊🏻🫶🏻
This has been such a healing song for me. Last year one of my best friends passed away very unexpectedly in hospital, followed by my dad a few months later. Grief is a really overwhelming feeling and this song is such a breath of fresh air. I really needed it.
First of all, I LOVE these COMPREHENSIVE reaction videos! You really go deep into it and I learn something new about cultural nuances, cinematography, etc every time. Second, I love seeing YOUR excitement about what resonates with you about these songs/videos. It’s infectious! Lastly, like you, this song came to me during a time when I was really struggling at work and with my marriage and I can confidently say, it prevented a nervous breakdown. It’s like what Dynamite gave me in 2020; the strength and will to pick myself up and keep going. 여러분…파이팅!!
BSS is the chad cryptid of the K-Pop community 😂 They release one of the best songs of 2018, get everyone hyped on it, leave without explaination, and then comeback with another banger five years later.
Happy birthday PD! I love your reactions for the detail and positivity and happiness you bring. Thank you for this thoughtful and honest/vulnerable reaction.
I love your reactions, the music and the videos get ten times better with your insight. I truly appreciate all the content you share with us. I sincerely hope you reach the most success when you move to Korea. I am so happy that you are taking the step to move to Korea and I can't wait to see you thrive there!! Fingers crossed and manifesting that we get to see you and seventeen in variety shows one day!! Wishing you all the best on your move and journey!! Fighting!!!
Please don’t give up! your reactions are literally my form of therapy while escaping from studying my major lol. I really look forward to taking a break and watching your videos after a long exhausting studying session.
I found seventeen in June 2020 during Left & Right era. Then Fall 2020 became the worst time of my life, and then Semi Colon album came out. I heavily relied on that album. I don’t think I’d be in the improved mental state I am today if it wasn’t for the comfort, healing, and escapism that SVT gifted to me. I’m forever grateful to this group, and they will continue to be my number 1 group. There is something about them that is so passionate, driven, loving, and wholesome. I follow/listen to many groups in the Korean music industry, but this group is just different in the best way possible.
ikr this song is a masterpiece 💅 I absolutely believe when experts said that "svt could hit big as they want to but they prefer to make songs that their fans like" but antis be like: svt got no hit songs bitcj yOUr oPiNIon DoESnT cOuNT😒
gosh what a treat, thank you for your review and happy belated birthday! As I was watching this reaction I started to think about this MV more and more and like it's just too good. All of the videos highlighting the lyrics are fantastic. The Beethoven and plenty more pages left to play lines from Youngji (i'm assuming she's talking about sheet music) and then cutting off the music to bring in the piano was just so, so nice. Another thing is Hoshi's development as a singer. It's been acknowledged by the members a LOT (and we saw it with Spider) how hard Hoshi has worked to not just be a great dancer but a great vocalist too, and to see him be the one to belt out that amazing high note in a small group where the other two members are the MAIN VOCALISTS of svt was really inspirational and I think really nicely wrapped up the meaning of this song. ANyway soty
I am new subscriber and I have almost watched every reaction video of PD can I guarantee this probably that one video where PD is so hyped, enjoying. Smiling, gasping basically doing that we do when we are happy and excited it’s really good to see him like this❤
The BSS FIGHTING Mv RV I never thought I needed until I watched it... PD miss you doing RV.. please continue. We love and support you . SEVENTEEN loves you too
I love watching your Seventeen reactions because you actually have something meaningful to add to the conversation. So many reactors lack basic media literacy, but you discuss the different facets of the artistic creation as well as the cultural references non-natives might miss. Reactions themselves are very much a market of confirmation bias, and I appreciate you confirming my biases ㅋㅋㅋ
around 15:31 but probably lots before that when pd talks about the mv not trying to sell you something it reminded me of when booseoksoon got their mca triple crown (I think?? just one of the times bss were thanking carats and tteoktwisoons for the music show wins) hoshi posted on wv “no but we just came out (with the song, with the album) to have fun with carats” this whole cb is really like a gift to cheer carats on in this exhausting world, so I’m so happy the song and the mv are so well loved
every time i hear you say seventeen is your favorite group of all time my heart melts a little :( i’ve been watching you for so many years already and i am just so glad we have svt all throughout these years. great to see you back again, PD!
"If there was any Seventeen subgroup I could work with" - this really spoke to me, 'cause the first thing I thought was "well, why don't you?" - And then at the end, when you declared you would move to Korea and pursue further video directing goals, I thought again YEAH, work your way up and maybe you COULD direct a music video for Seventeen!!! Fighting PD!!!
A bit late but belated happy birthday, PD! I was really looking forward to your reaction to BSS because of your love for SVT as well as your knowledge (about the Korean language as well as culture) and it helps me understand a lot of concepts and songs so much better. Thank you for doing what you do, but don't feel pressured to do it just to do it (but because you WANT to do it!). I'm wishing you the best for the move to SK!
PD!!! Happy probably belated birthday!!!!!! I'm so glad this sound made you as happy as it made me, I'm just a small subscriber from years back but that talk at the end made me so emotional🥺 Seventeen are always there when we need them most, they were there giving me courage when I was deciding on whether to live my previous career or not, and now that I did, despite everything, I'm happier than I've ever been. So let's go PD!!! You've got this!!!!!!!!!!! p.s: pixy had a cb recently
Your phone making you wake up to Just Do It was so funny 😂 I can’t imagine waking up and the first thing you hear is GEOCHIMEOPSHI GEOREOGAJI! Perfect song to use as an alarm 😂
Happy birthday PD! I lovvveeee your reactions! You're the 1st channel I look out for for SVT reactions! Smooth moving to Korea! I will keep supporting you!!! Take care!
Happy Birthday, PD!!🎉🎉🎉 Long time no see on youtube, i'm really happy to wqtch this video, especially, because this is about BSS Fighting ❤️ Love this comeback, I think this song became healing for me, Seventeen, also, everytime healing and supporting group for me!
Yesss that was as BooSeokSoon as a song can get! And the message of keep going that they always give, it's so BSS! I loved your reaction to their mv!!!!!
This was such a wholesome video and the rambling at the end I was really touched. I am myself going through a time in my life not knowing what the next step for me is and BSS and you kind of helped me too! Thanks for the video
Glad to see you back with an energetic, motivating song to review. I enjoyed the song on a surface level, but wow so cool to see that so much is being communicated here and the humor in it.
Whenever, I search for reactions where people react to K-pop, I feel like yours are always the best out of all the reactors. And I'm not exaggerating when I say that. Although I rarely post comments here, I just wanted to express my thanks to you for being so incredible and always giving your best for us and yourself. Your reaction to this song, your realizations and finally making the decision to pursue your dreams made me realize important things as well in my life. It really moved me. So, once again, thank you for all that you've done for us and I wish you the best with your dreams. ♥ Edit: I forgot to say Happy Birthday!!! EEven though it's 3 days late but it's better late than never, right?
I thanks for the return to reacting! Love watching your reactions and agree with you, seventeen is one of the best. BTOB and Seventeen are my all time favorites! I actually translated it as “you gotta fight!” But also agree with your “you got this!” translation too
Man... saccharine sweet level cuteness really sells w/ these guys, doesn't it... they actively resist growing up. It's like a neverending summer camp vibe. Almost everything w/ SVT is always so... juvenile. And they have the youngest fandome age-wise which is mind-boggling considering them being a 3rd Gen group. GoSe is entertainment created solely for 8 year olds in mind by grown men who act like a bunch of wholesome 12 year olds. It's astonishing how popular they remain by being... this^.
Happy Birthday PD, I am glad that you are reacting to BSS’s fighting on your birthday. I love this song, it is a healing song. Basically, it is my daily energy and happy pill. I hope your dreams become realize in SK.
Happy birthday PD!! 🎉 I’m so glad you enjoyed the song, I’ve been listening to it since it came out and it really is a mood booster everytime . Great analysis as always and I’m super excited to see what direction you’ll be taking your channel in! And best of luck moving ❤️
I was, or am or whatever...so fascinated listening to you explain the cultural nuances in the song. I already loved the song, let's get that out of the way. But listening to you break it down felt like I was a kid doing one of those connect the dots pictures. Like oh! It's turning into something. Not that it wasn't what I was expecting but better than what I thought it would be. Thank you for being great, sincerely great.
PD! Fighting!!! I’m so excited about your SK project, your subscribers love to hear what you have to say, and videos in South Korea sound amazing, plus knowing you will connect with your roots is the cherry on top. Also, it’s so heartwarming that BSS gave you a little extra push.
Hi PD, I just wanted to tell you, as someone who has been struggling with depression and anxiety since the age of 4 ( I'm now 25) , there comed a point where the good really does outweigh the bad. For me it has just started. It's been almost a year now since I last had a mong depresseive episode, and my anxiety attacks are few and far between. Am I completly fine all the time? No, but if I have a bad day, I can tell myself it is just that. A day. And now r Really focusing on the lyrics of this song, I realize that it is the philosophy I have been going with for a year. Basically, I was never into positive thinking and all that crap. But I realized that thoughts can only accompany action. Once you get going, your thoughts change. So I think you making the decision to move, to try, is exactly what is going to help you get through it. I wish you all the best, and Im really mooking forward to see your journey through this new chapter.
Woozi was planning on using this as a SEVENTEEN song but guessed correctly that it was more of a BSS statement!! Their promos for this song were never ending (just like the Aju Nice encore!!!) Legit some of the best promos for them ever!!!!! The three together are comedic gold!! Strongly suggest you watch all the promos because it brings so much happiness!!! Superstars all of THEM!! Keep an ear out for comeback album (FUCK MY LIFE) FML!!!!!!
PD, I just know you'd enjoy watching the Inside SVT they uploaded last night for BSS AAA performance... 😁❤️ Oh, and Youngji was there for all music show performances, they're besties at this point, together with Peder Elias (the artist featured in their song 7pm who has been very very vocal about his love for SK and DK) ❤️ And yes, Fighting is now SVT most awarded song when it comes to streaming on Melon... It's basically been so stable on the daily charts... Happy birthday! And I'm here for whatever step you'll take!
Thank you so much PDnim🫶🏼 so glad to see you receiving healing energy from our SVT! It gives us so much healing energy🙏🏽 keep up the good work! Fighting‼️‼️‼️
I resonate with you on another level. Specifically in reference to my connection with SVT and what they bring to the people and the world. The spirit that is SEVENTEEN is beyond this physical world. I respect them and I respect and appreciate you sharing your journey with Seventeen and showing insight to how they are part of some of our lives. "FIGHTING!!" P.s. I waited for the release of this song and it has been my alarm tone ever since hahaha. Perfect juice to start my day, regardless of whatever I'm going through. "Fighting!"..xx
I agree with a lot of what you said towards the end. svt comes out with music/content at the perfect timing. my mom passed away in december and bss came out with this song telling carats to keep fighting and I’m very grateful that we have svt. ❤ fighting!!

It was so nice to see PD smile and laugh and have realisations during this reaction. Kinda similar to what PD said, it's so powerful when a song or performance can make you think 'wow I needed this' or 'I didn't know I needed this', like you finally let go of a breath you didn't realise you were holding. BSS really highlighted that with 'Fighting' and 'Second Wave'.
The best description of the role this song played in my life is “I didn’t know I needed this” Lmaoo
I live in Korea and this cb has been everywhere. One of my labmates (I'm a grad student at KAIST) turned to me one of these days "I heard that happiness doesn't come from grades but from BooSeokSoon". Another labmate, upon hearing me talk about my experience seeing Hoshi live for the first time at Caratland, asked me "oh, so your bias is from BSS?". It's been playing everywhere in restaurants, convenience stores, even the other tracks they released. So overall it was amazing to witness that, as a Hoshi-biased carat who loves BSS!
i think why their songs are like up lifitng people is because their tagline is "happiness doesnt come from grades, but from bss" this came up to me from the "we're your bss" lyrics
I feel like this M/V was exactly what we needed. I feel like kpop has been I guess so much more “serious” in a sense and I just love fun kpop. You can tell how much they enjoyed filming and making this.
“seventeen is a very healing group for me” 😭 i feel that
Hoshi said in the interview with Suga that they (BSS) just want to have fun and give everyone especially carats the positive energy. They don't really want to care about the results and all thats why you can see them being shocked from time to time everytime they win on music shows. They're genuinely just want to have fun and enjoy this comeback. I love them so much for that!!!!
You gotta check out their Circle Chart Music Awards performance. They turned the whole award show into their concert!
YES FRRRR that perf lives rent-free in my brain
YES!!
Their album name "Second Wind" actually means a lot-
"Second Wind used to describe the phenomena of magically gaining significant energy and strength during distance running at a stage when the runner feels out of breath or that he or she appears to reach a fatigued state and the feeling of not being able to continue."

stan seventeen! my personal favourite songs are to you, kidult and hit song. you should check them out
If you haven't you can check out their other songs as they have much more that talks about topics like this, such as BSS debut song "Just Do It", others can be "Clap", HH unit "What's good" and maybe even "Home;Run"
29:27 aw fuck I’m tearing up - seventeen truly comes into our lives somehow at the perfect timing with exactly what you need. so glad this song came to you when you needed it pd!!!
Seventeen is something else fr 😭😭😭

There are so many little fun details, but I think it was in a radio show where they said the rider was not Woozi
I don't think it was confirmed that the one kart riding was woozi
I agree that this is a very quintessential seventeen song and even more so in tune with booseoksoon's brand.

I love Seventeen, too. I swear they would be perfect to do musical theater all together or even a musical movie.
Aww, indeed Seventeen is really a comfort group! So happy that this song really inspired us to push our limits!
Seventeen are my Al time favorite Kpop group. They’re undoubtedly unique.
From the day I discovered BTS for the first time I also found Seventeen, and have loved them ever since. Over time they went from being my second favourite to my clear favourite. SVT Fighting. Oh, and in case you do not know about it, BSS performed a double bill of ‘Fighting’ and ‘just do it’ at the circle music awards, you have to see it, [reaction or not] they blew the roof off the place.

Theater group + healing group = Seventeen.
this song has been SO important to me. its so good at its purpose and it makes me feel so so much better
This has been such a healing song for me. Last year one of my best friends passed away very unexpectedly in hospital, followed by my dad a few months later. Grief is a really overwhelming feeling and this song is such a breath of fresh air. I really needed it.

To anyone reading this: Fighting! You can do it!
Also to PD: Happy birthday!!
BSS is the chad cryptid of the K-Pop community 😂

ANyway soty
Hoshi’s falsetto in HOT 👏🏻👏🏻
It's an automatic energy boost!! Love it so much hahahaha
also Youngji is so unbelievably good and fits the song so well
I am new subscriber and I have almost watched every reaction video of PD can I guarantee this probably that one video where PD is so hyped, enjoying. Smiling, gasping basically doing that we do when we are happy and excited it’s really good to see him like this❤
PD happy to see back finally releasing new content for the channel because you're knowledge of production and editing is really spoken
PD's insights into the message of this song makes me love it even more than I already did
The BSS FIGHTING Mv RV I never thought I needed until I watched it... PD miss you doing RV.. please continue. We love and support you . SEVENTEEN loves you too
I love watching your Seventeen reactions because you actually have something meaningful to add to the conversation. So many reactors lack basic media literacy, but you discuss the different facets of the artistic creation as well as the cultural references non-natives might miss.
Reactions themselves are very much a market of confirmation bias, and I appreciate you confirming my biases ㅋㅋㅋ
around 15:31 but probably lots before that when pd talks about the mv not trying to sell you something it reminded me of when booseoksoon got their mca triple crown (I think?? just one of the times bss were thanking carats and tteoktwisoons for the music show wins) hoshi posted on wv “no but we just came out (with the song, with the album) to have fun with carats” this whole cb is really like a gift to cheer carats on in this exhausting world, so I’m so happy the song and the mv are so well loved
You mentioned the drunk interview with Hoshi 🤣
This two are so funny together. I was close to pee in my pants because of laughing 😆
every time i hear you say seventeen is your favorite group of all time my heart melts a little :( i’ve been watching you for so many years already and i am just so glad we have svt all throughout these years. great to see you back again, PD!
"If there was any Seventeen subgroup I could work with" - this really spoke to me, 'cause the first thing I thought was "well, why don't you?" - And then at the end, when you declared you would move to Korea and pursue further video directing goals, I thought again YEAH, work your way up and maybe you COULD direct a music video for Seventeen!!! Fighting PD!!!
A bit late but belated happy birthday, PD!
I was really looking forward to your reaction to BSS because of your love for SVT as well as your knowledge (about the Korean language as well as culture) and it helps me understand a lot of concepts and songs so much better. Thank you for doing what you do, but don't feel pressured to do it just to do it (but because you WANT to do it!).
I'm wishing you the best for the move to SK!
PD!!! Happy probably belated birthday!!!!!! I'm so glad this sound made you as happy as it made me, I'm just a small subscriber from years back but that talk at the end made me so emotional🥺 Seventeen are always there when we need them most, they were there giving me courage when I was deciding on whether to live my previous career or not, and now that I did, despite everything, I'm happier than I've ever been. So let's go PD!!! You've got this!!!!!!!!!!!
p.s: pixy had a cb recently
this song it's indeed a boost of motivation to go through difficult days, it has this amazing energy
Your phone making you wake up to Just Do It was so funny 😂 I can’t imagine waking up and the first thing you hear is GEOCHIMEOPSHI GEOREOGAJI! Perfect song to use as an alarm 😂
Happy birthday PD! I lovvveeee your reactions! You're the 1st channel I look out for for SVT reactions! Smooth moving to Korea! I will keep supporting you!!! Take care!
Happy Birthday, PD!!🎉🎉🎉 Long time no see on youtube, i'm really happy to wqtch this video, especially, because this is about BSS Fighting ❤️ Love this comeback, I think this song became healing for me, Seventeen, also, everytime healing and supporting group for me!
I’ll never get over the fact that they released this masterpiece on my birthday ❤
Thank you PD for being open with us and I hope this new chapter in your life would bring you much happiness. Happy Birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PD!!!! This is the reaction that I've been waiting for!!
Yesss that was as BooSeokSoon as a song can get! And the message of keep going that they always give, it's so BSS! I loved your reaction to their mv!!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PD! Thank you for your SEVENTEEN reactions ❤️
This was such a wholesome video and the rambling at the end I was really touched. I am myself going through a time in my life not knowing what the next step for me is and BSS and you kind of helped me too! Thanks for the video
You always give the best reaction. Welcome back PD! Belated happy birthday! FIGHTING!
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FINALLLY
seventeen feel like home to me, i just know i will love them my whole life they mean so much to me
Glad to see you back with an energetic, motivating song to review. I enjoyed the song on a surface level, but wow so cool to see that so much is being communicated here and the humor in it.
We enjoy your reactions PD thank you so much. And Happy birthday to you and good luck with whatever you want to do. Fighting ❤️
this is WHOLESOME
Happy birthday PD! 🎉 I've learned so much from this reaction vid ❤
Whenever, I search for reactions where people react to K-pop, I feel like yours are always the best out of all the reactors. And I'm not exaggerating when I say that. Although I rarely post comments here, I just wanted to express my thanks to you for being so incredible and always giving your best for us and yourself. Your reaction to this song, your realizations and finally making the decision to pursue your dreams made me realize important things as well in my life. It really moved me. So, once again, thank you for all that you've done for us and I wish you the best with your dreams. ♥
Edit: I forgot to say Happy Birthday!!! EEven though it's 3 days late but it's better late than never, right?
I thanks for the return to reacting! Love watching your reactions and agree with you, seventeen is one of the best. BTOB and Seventeen are my all time favorites! I actually translated it as “you gotta fight!” But also agree with your “you got this!” translation too
Seungkwannnn loooks so gooood here
Happy birthday !!!
OH MY GOD PD I HOPE YOU GET TO DO THOSE AMAZING THINGS IN KOREA!
no but the pure elation on pd’s face as during the first watch makes me so happy??
Everyone must fallin love with seventeen
Man... saccharine sweet level cuteness really sells w/ these guys, doesn't it... they actively resist growing up. It's like a neverending summer camp vibe.
Almost everything w/ SVT is always so... juvenile. And they have the youngest fandome age-wise which is mind-boggling considering them being a 3rd Gen group. GoSe is entertainment created solely for 8 year olds in mind by grown men who act like a bunch of wholesome 12 year olds.
It's astonishing how popular they remain by being... this^.
Happy Birthday PD, I am glad that you are reacting to BSS’s fighting on your birthday. I love this song, it is a healing song. Basically, it is my daily energy and happy pill. I hope your dreams become realize in SK.
Happy birthday PD!! 🎉 I’m so glad you enjoyed the song, I’ve been listening to it since it came out and it really is a mood booster everytime . Great analysis as always and I’m super excited to see what direction you’ll be taking your channel in! And best of luck moving ❤️
I was, or am or whatever...so fascinated listening to you explain the cultural nuances in the song. I already loved the song, let's get that out of the way. But listening to you break it down felt like I was a kid doing one of those connect the dots pictures. Like oh! It's turning into something. Not that it wasn't what I was expecting but better than what I thought it would be. Thank you for being great, sincerely great.
This m/v felt like if Pledis collaborated for an SNL sketch 😂
FINALLY!! A NOTIFICATION THAT I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR!! 😭😭😭 i don’t watch reactions videos but i only watch yours! 😭😭 thank you for this ❤️
If you have time and need some hardcore smile vibes- watch their live stage with her; everyone is having a blast
PD! Fighting!!! I’m so excited about your SK project, your subscribers love to hear what you have to say, and videos in South Korea sound amazing, plus knowing you will connect with your roots is the cherry on top. Also, it’s so heartwarming that BSS gave you a little extra push.
Happy bday PD. So happy to see you back on the UA-cams. Excited for all the upcoming content!
Hi PD, I just wanted to tell you, as someone who has been struggling with depression and anxiety since the age of 4 ( I'm now 25) , there comed a point where the good really does outweigh the bad. For me it has just started. It's been almost a year now since I last had a mong depresseive episode, and my anxiety attacks are few and far between.
Am I completly fine all the time? No, but if I have a bad day, I can tell myself it is just that. A day.
And now r
Really focusing on the lyrics of this song, I realize that it is the philosophy I have been going with for a year. Basically, I was never into positive thinking and all that crap. But I realized that thoughts can only accompany action. Once you get going, your thoughts change. So I think you making the decision to move, to try, is exactly what is going to help you get through it. I wish you all the best, and Im really mooking forward to see your journey through this new chapter.
You have to listen the whole album its so relatable
Hwaiting, PD & everyone!
YOOOOO happy birthday PD!!! hope you had a great one and so glad to have you back!!!
happy birthday PD!!! I've always waited for you
off topic, but sir, your voice? IT'S GOOOD
Woozi was planning on using this as a SEVENTEEN song but guessed correctly that it was more of a BSS statement!! Their promos for this song were never ending (just like the Aju Nice encore!!!) Legit some of the best promos for them ever!!!!! The three together are comedic gold!! Strongly suggest you watch all the promos because it brings so much happiness!!! Superstars all of THEM!! Keep an ear out for comeback album (FUCK MY LIFE) FML!!!!!!
PD, I just know you'd enjoy watching the Inside SVT they uploaded last night for BSS AAA performance... 😁❤️
Oh, and Youngji was there for all music show performances, they're besties at this point, together with Peder Elias (the artist featured in their song 7pm who has been very very vocal about his love for SK and DK) ❤️
And yes, Fighting is now SVT most awarded song when it comes to streaming on Melon... It's basically been so stable on the daily charts...
Happy birthday! And I'm here for whatever step you'll take!
tru. seventeen is just... different. 8 yrs with them, literally growing old with them lmao. i'm grateful for their existence
Thank you so much PDnim🫶🏼 so glad to see you receiving healing energy from our SVT! It gives us so much healing energy🙏🏽
keep up the good work! Fighting‼️‼️‼️
I resonate with you on another level. Specifically in reference to my connection with SVT and what they bring to the people and the world.
The spirit that is SEVENTEEN is beyond this physical world. I respect them and I respect and appreciate you sharing your journey with Seventeen and showing insight to how they are part of some of our lives. "FIGHTING!!"
P.s. I waited for the release of this song and it has been my alarm tone ever since hahaha. Perfect juice to start my day, regardless of whatever I'm going through. "Fighting!"..xx
I’m so excited for your new chapter!!!
I agree with a lot of what you said towards the end. svt comes out with music/content at the perfect timing. my mom passed away in december and bss came out with this song telling carats to keep fighting and I’m very grateful that we have svt. ❤ fighting!!
Waiting for this reaction seriously made me consider getting Patreon💀 anyway, when are we getting Seventeen: The Musical?😂😂
