Fortunately Jin's amount of lines and screen time have been gradually increasing I'm glad that people are happy about it instead of bitching like some ARMY were in the comeback. I'm gonna get what I can take for now I trust that bighit will please me in the next comeback with even more screen time and lines for Jin
Fun fact: some of those burning things in the sky are not mics. They are bodies. BTS is literally burning the haters. Another fun fact: There's one scene where Jungkook dances alone and you see his reflection dancing behind him. Except, the thing behind him is a window, not a mirror. It opens up into a empty room. Jungkook actually shot that part separately again to create the mirror effect.
I think BTS did everything right. If they performed Mic drop at the AMA they would be misunderstood, they would get a lot of criticism for bragging about awards while they were not even nominated at the AMA. I mean criticism from the new audience who saw them for the first time. They performed their title track and now they will show Mic drop which is totally different, they will show their diversity to the new audience. I think everything is all right here.
Yes agreed. One step at a time is all good. DNA was like a little sample of what they can do before they can go all out with their other releases to keep their target audience hooked.
yup, i also think it was a smart move from bighit. DNA may not be a best song, but it put BTS in nice light. A group of boys who can sing and dance and look relatable. Fire, mic drop seem too rough for the first time audience plus it may give impression that they look cocky while in real life they actually not. Bighit know to tease people so they may feel that there is no need to show BTS best performance. Thus, i think its correct move by bighit for letting BTS perform DNA. For first time audience who doesnt know kpop, even DNA look amazing in their eyes while actually there are a lot more BTS can show off.
I never thought about it like that and I was rooting for Mic Drop to be their AMA performance choice But then again when its good, its good.. it doesn't really matter However then again I have a feeling that the producers from AMA did not give them enough time to really make a lasting impression, so BigHit chose DNA Regardless, I think the mainstream American audience is not really prepared for this kind of act. I mean look at the Interviews, they were shit except for 2 or 3 them. Also, I may be wrong but I get the feeling other American artists are kinda jealous and scared that a random boy group will offer the authentic experience of entertainment and art combined. I am actually a bit scared for BTS. I am scared that the US media will tear them to shreds and do anything they can to stop their progress. Its sad but true :( It has happened before But I have faith in their determination and solid foundation of hard work ethic,brotherhood and perseverance.
i think after their performance, people seem change their mind about BTS. They seem take them as artist more seriously. Many admit that BTS is talented. About their performance, i think its not fair for other artists as they are also given limited time to perform. As BTS just debut, bighit may dont want to be high demand so they perform at minimal scale first. Plus, AMAs already arrange BTS as second last act that show BTS indeed are taken into granted.
Thanks for the review. Tbh, many armys want them to perform mic drop/ fire/ or BST cause of the choreo and sound. It would blew ppl’s mind.. but I guess also that they perform DNA because that is their latest single which git them to Hot 100 for 4 weeks.. more than that they released mic drop remix after ppl had wanted to learn more about them after AMAs so i think it was also a smart move. It would shock new fans or ppl who are interested in them because of a different genre they can also pull off. Believe me like 90% of the fandom were expecting a surprise performance of Mic Drop. Hahaha.
I always love to hear your opinion! You always notice important stuff and comment on it! I don't know if I necessarily agree with the DNA not being good enough for the AMAs. I mean yeah, theoretically Fire, Not Today and Mic Drop would have shoked the audience in a good way more than DNA, but if the camera and audio guys had so many problems with DNA, imagine the mess they could have done with such much more hype songs. Moreover, BTS is not using only DNA to promote, they are using Mic Drop as well. Today they're showing the performance at Ellen, which is one of the most viewed shows in America (and from what I heard, they didn't even use backtracks, so THAT's a f u to the ignorant ppl saying they lip synced when it was so obvious they didn't). They'll have the Jimmy Kimmel performance as well, and there they did Mic Drop first, so it'll be the performance that makes it on TV. They are showing more sides of themselves this way. Of course, I would have loved to see people's reaction to something like Fire at MMA or MAMA, but eh.
RuunaLUVSesshy so true, they couldnt do a decent job for DNA, imagine with the rest. And the stage was also very simples (just with nice background images and light), I think for Fire or Not Today they would've needed a more well prepared stage to make the song justice
RuunaLUVSesshy I agree, I would’ve loved if they performed Fire but they usually have a lot of backup dancers for that so it would’ve been more difficult to coordinate. DNA is also the song that broke a lot of records so it makes sense for them to perform it
uuuummm... i just came back from that ellen video and they were clearly lip synching. you could hear the audio with nice and smooth vocals and then you could hear BTSstruggling to sing a few lines
Delian Jay there was literally nothing in the background it was just them sorry they sound like the backing track but no, they had a few small bits for harmonies but that was it
I think they did DNA because it made sense seeing as it was the song that got them into the HOT100 for the first time (and AMAs work alongside the Billboard Chart), broke records and gained them a lot of headlines in the US. But I'm pretty sure they knew DNA isn't the song that represents them as artists because the timing of releasing Mic Drop seems to be done to grab ahold of the US general public. They got Aoki and Desiigner on it and released the song a week before charts reloaded (giving fans time to stream and buy) and the same week it's being aired on Ellen, Kimmel and Cordon shows. I think it was well planned and they knew Mic Drop was what they'd go forward with.
fun facts about the production of the MV that i think you might appreciate! - The pyrotechnics are all real! They blocked off a street in korea and actually blew up cars for it to make a more authentic explosion effect. - When jungkook was dancing in front of a mirror (3:10 in this video), they actually recorded him dancing from the back separately for the mirror so that the camera wasn't in it. They edited it into the mv afterwards
but dna barely used green screen. if you watched the making of dna they actually build a whole set for a specific scene like the blue sky and yellow columns it was actually outdoor
+MOCHI with a lot of SUGA and a cup of hot TAE you’re exaggerating the word barely. At least 35%-40% of the MV was green screen/CG. I just rewatched it to confirm. Most people can’t remember or don’t notice because of the fast cuts but I have an editor’s brain and just as I recalled, that MV has more CG than people remember. Mind you they use mainly physical sets but that doesn’t mean this is a heavily CG mv. Go rewatch it and you’ll be surprised!
i was waiting for this! thank you very much for making a reaction to this video, i love seeing your opinions, as you are a professional and you can point out things i don't really see (i'm not english, sorry for my bad grammar)
As an Army i actually agree with you because BTS is originally a hip hop kpop group. I expected them to perform Not Today, Fire or MIC DROP remix but since DNA is the main song of Love Yourself: Her thats what they performed. But its also not bad that they performed DNA and having a big impact on American TV and leaving them wanting to know more about BTS and their music. For a remix to hit no. 1 on iTunes is amazing. I'm really proud of BigHit 😁😄😆
See, it's hard for BTS to perform ONE type of their music on the AMAS stage. Their music contain so many genres from ballads to trap, their image is always constantly changing, and you will only know if youre an ARMY who has done fill research and is a informed member of the fandom. Bts can't show who they really are with ONE song performed on a bad quality stage. I believe they need to show the American audience all the different sides to BTS, because that's how I became an ARMY and how I believe more will
Actually, DNA is NOT a full green screen. They use the green screen only a little. The rest is real set which uses colorful shapes. You can check out their behind the scene. BTS uses green screen ONLY IF/WHEN necessary. It would be appreciated if you check first before you make a conclusion. DNA was chosen because it was that one hit that breaking most of their records and one that gathering new and international fans despite there are many of their hype songs with great choreos.
armeinia exactly! that was my case, DNA was just so insistent to appear in the youtube suggestions because the video got so many views, and in the end once you jimIn you cant JimOut
I'm so glad that BTS got bigger and bigger fans. It's just that I don't like that fans or them who may be just a tad bit interested with BTS spouting how cool they are then saying oh it's not what i expect (I expect more) when they see the disappointing side. They work really hard to be what they are now. IF there were some things from them that doesn't meet your expectation, at least give them appreciation. They are evolving, in their music, style, character or maybe appearance. So maybe there will be change that maybe you will like or not. It's not that I don't like when people give criticsm to the boys or anything. I am welcome to the outsider opinion. But it's not acceptable when they're spouting some high-profile opinion but without gathering facts first. So before giving some conclusion or judgement, please at least get some research first and then you can give final conclusion and opinion based on the facts you get. Thank you.
I love how he compared this MV to several BTS's MVs but when it came to Spring Day he was like "Spring Day is more cinematographic, it's unfair to compare". I really hope Spring Day wins MAMA's Best Music Video award.
Omg I love that you review stuff instead of just “oh yeah it’s dope and hype” you actually elaborate on what you liked and even disliked about it and go into depth. You deserve the attention you have and even more. ❤️
I've been on a Mic Drop Reaction video binge today and I have to say this is the best reaction video to Mic Drop that I've seen because I enjoyed hearing an opinion that had more substance than 'I liked it'. It's the first video of your that I've seen but I'm now subscribed and am excited for your future content. Looking at the length of your other reaction videos I'm really eager to start a Form of Therapy binge now.
I just came across your channel and have found your commentary to be very insightful and honest. I appreciate it very much. You have quickly become one of my favorite channels to watch. You give a great perspective that is organized logically and presented well. Looking forward to more videos.
OMG I was waiting for your reaction on this masterpiece!!! I was about to jump into the shower and put on my BTS play list when I saw your notif and the water is running right now and I'm watching your reaction instead lol. The shower can wait for another few minutes lol 😂😂
i was waiting for your review! the one shot with suga was absolutely stunning. tbh, i like the original track more? there's something gritty and dirty about the originial and it's not that i don't hate this remix but it never really went anywhere for me? like it was consistent and arguably flat? i kept waiting for this amazing drop to come and i never really found it? i don't find it horrible but i was just expecting more? dna performed at the amas made sense because it was their most recent comeback and it was the track that got their achievements for billboard. also, seeing how the dna stage was literally just them making the best out of what they were given while you had another performer actually scale down a building... i don't think they were ready to shelve out costs needed for a grander performance like not today, fire, or blood, sweat, and tears. and i think releasing this remix right off of the hype of their amas stage was smart? because now you've drawn this potential audience and the perfect chance to show off how versatile the group is.
This is like the mv that makes me becomes a BTS fan. I was so moved by the music and the mv but I can't tell why. I'm very happy and learning so much from your reaction and analysis to the mv. Thank you.
nope the MV was made before the Steve aoki remix, it's their japanese MV version. Big hit invested a lot in MV, they didn't need Steve to have the funds . They just incorporated scenes with steve. Like your analysis kiss
Not quite because you can see that they're singing Korean and English here so it's not exactly the same MV as the Japanese (plus the Steve Aoki scenes). But Idk when the MVs were made so it could be that it was before the Remix and they really didn't need him to finance the production in general, you could be right about that. So yeah, basically I just wanted to say that it's not exactly the same as the japanese haha
I haven’t come across this channel before but I really like his reaction because he didn’t talk to much during the video but gave a really clear and thorough review afterwards which brought up things I hadn’t considered like the different scenes per person. Additionally, unlike other reactors he didn’t feel the need to shout or repeat himself to fill up time. Good video 👍
actually I really love reactors who does not say too much when they are currently watching the mv. its like they are really paying attention to every details in the music video. Kudos to you my friend👍👍👍
Insightful as always :) I love the MV and the remix of the song, I think it was a successful collab with chemistry from both parties. I think with the AMA's some of the shoddy camera work is they aren't used to such intense choreo coming from the main act. BTS moved around A LOT with the focus needing to constantly change to a different singer/rapper. Usually a western artist sings with dancers around them but the focus is still on the fairly stationary artist. Even when they dance it's not often a lot of movement, still staying in a relatively small area.
I had the same exact thoughts about everything you said about the AMAs performance! I’m glad i’m not the only who thought that they deserved better, but they’ve had more chances to showcase other songs at other US shows so it’s ok!
I appreciate that you hit on so many things that I thought when I first saw this track and video. I agree with you and I may get some hate for this that DNA is not their strongest song. And I agree with you that the amas did a horrible job on managing the performance and the cameras and mics and all the problems they had were pretty crazy. I know sound tech isn't an easy job but up to that point there had been no issues as far as I know because people have been giving so much praise to the other performances. I also agree that DNA should not have been their debut television performance. But I also know that it was their most recent track so they were promoting the album that way and a lot of army we're excited to see it so I know that if they would have changed it to a different track it may not have been received as it was. However, I believe this track is better than the original in many ways and that's saying something because I was in love with the original. I like how Aoki kept a skeleton of the song and just added some different elements. I commented on this on another reactors Channel but I thought about a much better analogy this time. It's like those creative kits that give you a skeleton and pieces with different things you can build with them. The skeleton stays the same but you can add different pieces and parts to turn one thing into something completely different but again the skeleton is the same. So yes this is a true remix in the fact that the skeleton of the song was not touched but new elements and beats and new remastering was done. Mic drop the original is such a strong song that I appreciate that it wasn't changed much from its format yet still with a different sound. I do not like the desiigner track and if you have not listened to that it would be a good comparison. They gutted the song in pieces and played Lego blocks with it because desiigner's part takes up the whole first verse which pushes jhope and suga's part further back in the song which makes no sense for the flow. That's just my opinion though. Thank you for the awesome reaction. I love to hear people in the business react to these things because you guys can take a different look at the songs and videos then a standard fan.
Fucking form of therapy is literally th best reactor. He actually ya know talks about the flow of th music camera shots and sht not hating other reactors but they kindve always talk bout th members. ILOVE YOU
I just want to take a minute and say.. you're so well spoken! Within the first 0:28 seconds you had my respect lmao. Thank you for an honest review! I appreciate it!
Oh my god I just found you and I completely agree with everything you said about BTS debuting in America with DNA. I love DNA, but I also felt that America would more appreciate something that shows BTS's dance and how advanced their choreography is. I have never heard anyone say this but I'm glad some Army believe it as well and you. Thank you for your reaction and in depth description of what you think. I really appreciate it!
Love your reaction videos... Specially the fact that you watch it all before you start talking rather than the commonly reaction videos style of oohing and aahing during the video... And then having nothing sold to say....
100000000% agree that BTS should perform lit and hype type of songs like FIRE and NOT TODAY. But it's ok tho. They slayed US people already. Even AMAs cameraman couldn't handle their litness.
Thanks. This is what I call a reaction video not like those idiots fishing for views who just say 2-3 sentences after watching the music video and say the casual things like "don't forget to subcribe" etc.
"Jin got 3 separate screen time"
Lmao i can feel you
crazy asdfghjkloo he always go for Jin's part & screen time, even in the previous MVs. I think he really likes Jin :D
I swear I almost screamed YES, like someone else notices Jin has a lack of screen time and finally, after four years, is being seen.
Once people understand or become aware of Jin's situation then they tend to notice him actually getting lines. Well for this comeback really lol
Fortunately Jin's amount of lines and screen time have been gradually increasing I'm glad that people are happy about it instead of bitching like some ARMY were in the comeback. I'm gonna get what I can take for now I trust that bighit will please me in the next comeback with even more screen time and lines for Jin
Mood
Fun fact: some of those burning things in the sky are not mics. They are bodies. BTS is literally burning the haters.
Another fun fact: There's one scene where Jungkook dances alone and you see his reflection dancing behind him. Except, the thing behind him is a window, not a mirror. It opens up into a empty room. Jungkook actually shot that part separately again to create the mirror effect.
These aren't bodies, that's blown up car pieces xD
Lightefilit Faylin actually they are xD
Those are the bodies of the snakes 😂
Lightefilit Faylin actually they legit are. you can zoom in on the video if u want
Sara Zajicova also they had to close a road to film the burning cars scene and the background fro the bridge wasnt CGI
the part where jungkook had a solo shot dancing, the reflection in the back mirror was filmed separately then edited in!
whoa really?
lmao why am i still surprised, bts's producers are amazing
Jimin's Left Eyebrow no its just speculation!
lol no jungkook said it himself in the bangtan bomb where they reacted to it lol
And there is no camera shown in the mirror?
The mirror was filmed seperatly and edited afterwards I suppose
I think BTS did everything right. If they performed Mic drop at the AMA they would be misunderstood, they would get a lot of criticism for bragging about awards while they were not even nominated at the AMA.

Regardless, I think the mainstream American audience is not really prepared for this kind of act.
I mean look at the Interviews, they were shit except for 2 or 3 them.
Also, I may be wrong but I get the feeling other American artists are kinda jealous and scared that a random boy group will offer the authentic experience of entertainment and art combined.
I am actually a bit scared for BTS. I am scared that the US media will tear them to shreds and do anything they can to stop their progress.
Its sad but true :( It has happened before
But I have faith in their determination and solid foundation of hard work ethic,brotherhood and perseverance.

Hahaha.
Well, I'm sure Mic Drop can get even higher on Hot100, so now they won't have excuses xD
Yeah
Lightefilit Faylin Leggo!
aRM 94 you are right. I like BTS, because V's song Stigma helped me to get through my depression
I always love to hear your opinion! You always notice important stuff and comment on it!
I don't know if I necessarily agree with the DNA not being good enough for the AMAs. I mean yeah, theoretically Fire, Not Today and Mic Drop would have shoked the audience in a good way more than DNA, but if the camera and audio guys had so many problems with DNA, imagine the mess they could have done with such much more hype songs.
Moreover, BTS is not using only DNA to promote, they are using Mic Drop as well. Today they're showing the performance at Ellen, which is one of the most viewed shows in America (and from what I heard, they didn't even use backtracks, so THAT's a f u to the ignorant ppl saying they lip synced when it was so obvious they didn't).

Naps Gold I totally agree with you, it was very well planned
Yassss finally, don’t care about hundreds other reviews of this, only care about yours!!! Thank you so much!!!
fun facts about the production of the MV that i think you might appreciate!

This doesn't have to do with your comment... is just... I freaking love your name 😂😂😂
I think this mv’s production (mic drop) is at the same level than blood sweat and tears both are my favorite music videos and maybe even songs
Nochu Infires agree
i was waiting for this! thank you very much for making a reaction to this video, i love seeing your opinions, as you are a professional and you can point out things i don't really see (i'm not english, sorry for my bad grammar)
Blackey Alice your English is perfect here 👍
Your English is very good👌
thanks!!
me too sorry if my English and grammar are not perfect

1:20 armys exact reaction to mic drop remix : speechless but internally screaming

armeinia exactly! that was my case, DNA was just so insistent to appear in the youtube suggestions because the video got so many views, and in the end once you jimIn you cant JimOut
adding to it, they said it is because it is still the promotion period of DNA
the link to the MV shooting: czcams.com/video/rgRDwhO983s/video.html
Yeah, they used ORANGE & TEAL grading
My sentiments exactly
I'm so glad that BTS got bigger and bigger fans. It's just that I don't like that fans or them who may be just a tad bit interested with BTS spouting how cool they are then saying oh it's not what i expect (I expect more) when they see the disappointing side. They work really hard to be what they are now. IF there were some things from them that doesn't meet your expectation, at least give them appreciation.

It's not that I don't like when people give criticsm to the boys or anything. I am welcome to the outsider opinion. But it's not acceptable when they're spouting some high-profile opinion but without gathering facts first. So before giving some conclusion or judgement, please at least get some research first and then you can give final conclusion and opinion based on the facts you get. Thank you.
Been waiting for your reaction. Finally!! Thank you
I love how he compared this MV to several BTS's MVs but when it came to Spring Day he was like "Spring Day is more cinematographic, it's unfair to compare". I really hope Spring Day wins MAMA's Best Music Video award.

I've been on a Mic Drop Reaction video binge today and I have to say this is the best reaction video to Mic Drop that I've seen because I enjoyed hearing an opinion that had more substance than 'I liked it'. It's the first video of your that I've seen but I'm now subscribed and am excited for your future content. Looking at the length of your other reaction videos I'm really eager to start a Form of Therapy binge now.

I like a lot of the points you made here. I am super excited to see where this track will take them. Great reaction/review!
man, i need to sleep, but i keep binge-ing on your bts reactions. your reactions are becoming my favorite, its definitely my style.
I just came across your channel and have found your commentary to be very insightful and honest. I appreciate it very much. You have quickly become one of my favorite channels to watch. You give a great perspective that is organized logically and presented well. Looking forward to more videos.

THIS is what I look for in a music video reaction, between this and DNA I loved your commentary dude!
I love that you don't talk. You focus, which is what I think people should do. A thousand times thank you.
I was anticipating your reaction to the video since it came out because i suspected you would really like all the special stuff they did to the video
I have never thought of the scene behind the video, u inspired me man, yeah this video clip is dope.
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS. You are the only reactor besides BTS reacting to themselves that I enjoy watching.
You always get the words out of my mouth lol especially your opinion on DNA and AMAs performance
I’m not an army or a fan of bts but I have to admit they make hella good songs and mv. No wonder a lot of people stan them
OMG I was waiting for your reaction on this masterpiece!!! I was about to jump into the shower and put on my BTS play list when I saw your notif and the water is running right now and I'm watching your reaction instead lol. The shower can wait for another few minutes lol 😂😂
enjoyy your video and comment. pls keep it up! you are one of the best reaction channel.
finally a reaction video with good feedback.
Thank God finally I was waiting for his reaction
i was waiting for your review! the one shot with suga was absolutely stunning. tbh, i like the original track more? there's something gritty and dirty about the originial and it's not that i don't hate this remix but it never really went anywhere for me? like it was consistent and arguably flat? i kept waiting for this amazing drop to come and i never really found it? i don't find it horrible but i was just expecting more? dna performed at the amas made sense because it was their most recent comeback and it was the track that got their achievements for billboard. also, seeing how the dna stage was literally just them making the best out of what they were given while you had another performer actually scale down a building... i don't think they were ready to shelve out costs needed for a grander performance like not today, fire, or blood, sweat, and tears. and i think releasing this remix right off of the hype of their amas stage was smart? because now you've drawn this potential audience and the perfect chance to show off how versatile the group is.
perfect timing, just when I'm studying!
i always enjoy your reaction. BTS always bring more than expected! BTS is the best
i always come here for your SMART INSIGHT
I'm gonna rewatch Mic Drop, there are so many things that you pointed out and that I haven't noticed
i love your reactions. mic drop is probably my fav of the album lmao
This is like the mv that makes me becomes a BTS fan.
I was so moved by the music and the mv but I can't tell why.
I'm very happy and learning so much from your reaction and analysis to the mv. Thank you.
Liked this breakdown! 👏
yeS I WAS WAITING FOR YOUUUUU
Everyone answered you below are accurate and I love it!
been waiting for this, I knew u'd like the MV :3
I really really like your reaction😍😍😍
nope the MV was made before the Steve aoki remix, it's their japanese MV version. Big hit invested a lot in MV, they didn't need Steve to have the funds . They just incorporated scenes with steve. Like your analysis kiss
Not quite because you can see that they're singing Korean and English here so it's not exactly the same MV as the Japanese (plus the Steve Aoki scenes). But Idk when the MVs were made so it could be that it was before the Remix and they really didn't need him to finance the production in general, you could be right about that. So yeah, basically I just wanted to say that it's not exactly the same as the japanese haha
*"OMG. Jin had - like three different parts of screen time. That's amazing !"*
I say BURN #1
And MIC DROP #2
What a great appraisal
Impressive
Thanks a lot
I haven’t come across this channel before but I really like his reaction because he didn’t talk to much during the video but gave a really clear and thorough review afterwards which brought up things I hadn’t considered like the different scenes per person. Additionally, unlike other reactors he didn’t feel the need to shout or repeat himself to fill up time. Good video 👍
absolutely loved it and loved DNA and I am a now obsessed fan
yes!! watching this mv i thought the video production was tbh the best bts has ever had it was crazy high quality
actually I really love reactors who does not say too much when they are currently watching the mv. its like they are really paying attention to every details in the music video. Kudos to you my friend👍👍👍
The music video is gorgeous in every aspect.
as always I appreciate and love your opinion. thanks for this
I love the extended version with that drop at the end!
Your opinions are goooold
Insightful as always :) I love the MV and the remix of the song, I think it was a successful collab with chemistry from both parties.
I think with the AMA's some of the shoddy camera work is they aren't used to such intense choreo coming from the main act. BTS moved around A LOT with the focus needing to constantly change to a different singer/rapper. Usually a western artist sings with dancers around them but the focus is still on the fairly stationary artist. Even when they dance it's not often a lot of movement, still staying in a relatively small area.
I really love how you notice everything
Thank you for your reaction. I like your comments about this.
I had the same exact thoughts about everything you said about the AMAs performance! I’m glad i’m not the only who thought that they deserved better, but they’ve had more chances to showcase other songs at other US shows so it’s ok!
I totally agree with what you're saying in this video, a lot of great opinions
I appreciate that you hit on so many things that I thought when I first saw this track and video. I agree with you and I may get some hate for this that DNA is not their strongest song. And I agree with you that the amas did a horrible job on managing the performance and the cameras and mics and all the problems they had were pretty crazy. I know sound tech isn't an easy job but up to that point there had been no issues as far as I know because people have been giving so much praise to the other performances. I also agree that DNA should not have been their debut television performance. But I also know that it was their most recent track so they were promoting the album that way and a lot of army we're excited to see it so I know that if they would have changed it to a different track it may not have been received as it was. However, I believe this track is better than the original in many ways and that's saying something because I was in love with the original. I like how Aoki kept a skeleton of the song and just added some different elements. I commented on this on another reactors Channel but I thought about a much better analogy this time. It's like those creative kits that give you a skeleton and pieces with different things you can build with them. The skeleton stays the same but you can add different pieces and parts to turn one thing into something completely different but again the skeleton is the same. So yes this is a true remix in the fact that the skeleton of the song was not touched but new elements and beats and new remastering was done. Mic drop the original is such a strong song that I appreciate that it wasn't changed much from its format yet still with a different sound. I do not like the desiigner track and if you have not listened to that it would be a good comparison. They gutted the song in pieces and played Lego blocks with it because desiigner's part takes up the whole first verse which pushes jhope and suga's part further back in the song which makes no sense for the flow. That's just my opinion though. Thank you for the awesome reaction. I love to hear people in the business react to these things because you guys can take a different look at the songs and videos then a standard fan.
love the lighting pd!! I can finally see you better lol
LMFAO when you were humming it a lot on the livestream last night I knew this video was coming
Always wait for your reviews, completely agree with all what you said. I love MV visuals and camera work, so tasty. Definitely better than DNA.
Fucking form of therapy is literally th best reactor. He actually ya know talks about the flow of th music camera shots and sht not hating other reactors but they kindve always talk bout th members.
ILOVE YOU
I really agree with you here, they totally should've performed fire in the AMA's
I 100% agree with you on everything you just discussed
I'm glad this song and MV exist. This MV got me into BTS and as a whole into K-pop. 😭❤
You're so right! When I imagine BTS performing Not Today on the AMAs... Wow! That would be mindblowing, epic!
I feel the same. I also wished/think they should've perform another song at the AMAs.
so trueee!! i really expect them performing something like mic drop in their us debut performance
Music video production is literally always hella top notch in kpop, especially bighits as they convey so so so much with their cinematography alone
I want to repeat it , always love their song
I really like the way you give your crit! I get to learn a lot from you :)
I just want to take a minute and say.. you're so well spoken! Within the first 0:28 seconds you had my respect lmao. Thank you for an honest review! I appreciate it!
THANK, KING
a completely agree with your thoughts on DNA and what they should've performed for their american television debut
Oh my god I just found you and I completely agree with everything you said about BTS debuting in America with DNA. I love DNA, but I also felt that America would more appreciate something that shows BTS's dance and how advanced their choreography is. I have never heard anyone say this but I'm glad some Army believe it as well and you. Thank you for your reaction and in depth description of what you think. I really appreciate it!
Well thanks for enjoying it!
Love your reaction videos... Specially the fact that you watch it all before you start talking rather than the commonly reaction videos style of oohing and aahing during the video... And then having nothing sold to say....
100000000% agree that BTS should perform lit and hype type of songs like FIRE and NOT TODAY. But it's ok tho. They slayed US people already. Even AMAs cameraman couldn't handle their litness.
Wow,he sang good. Thank You.
Thanks. This is what I call a reaction video not like those idiots fishing for views who just say 2-3 sentences after watching the music video and say the casual things like "don't forget to subcribe" etc.
