Tried to post this yesterday but it got blocked and I tried to re-edit 3 different versions to get this up 😭 I knew you'd want him to react to the Grammys performance so I had him watch it yesterday. I'll try to have it edited before I leave for Vegas but no promises (I leave tomorrow morning) 😅. Also Jake and more members of our team filmed some fun mukbang videos and Ashley has more ATEEZ/Super Junior videos for Jeff so look forward to those!
Thanks for working so hard, Taylor! Have fun in Vegas!
Thank you Taylor for working so hard to get these videos for us! 💜
Don't worry. Just enjoy concert. 中本さん、コンサート楽しんで。
Whose your bias?
@@erikoenglish1651 ありがとうございます
For the record, Jeff, there are no deserts in Korea. They built this entire set-- INCLUDING the dunes-- to resemble the American Southwest. The Big Hit set designers are freaking WIZARDS. (I suspect they were just as bored and frustrated as the rest of us, not being able to use their skills as often.)
To add a little extra info, the set was built on a quarry near the Incheon airport (basically an excavated mountain where the materials for the airport came from)
Yeah, the set designers did something like 35 unique stagings of Dynamite, didn't they? Obviously climbing the walls! 😅
The way he calls Jin, world wide handsome😂😂😂
ok so Ed Sheeran wrote quite a bit of it - he submitted a completed song and they changed a LOT of the lyrics to fit what the message they wanted to convey. The one thing that Ed requested was that they keep the phrasing "We don't need permission to dance". The reason it's not a super hard choreo is because they wanted to include EVERYONE and encourage everyone to join in regardless of their dance level and included the sign language so those who can't hear are included as well. It would be counterintuitive to say, 'we don't need permission to dance' and provide a choreography that only a limited amount of skilled people can do. Hence, the regular, every day people included in the video just dancing around. Everyone can dance, even in a pandemic, everyone can vibe out together. That's the message.
Also, the letting go of the kids' balloon is significance BUT the comedic aspect wasn't missed on the masses (poor kid! LOL). Lastly, I think that was the longest you went without pausing and I was getting worried hahahahahaha.
My takeaways from your always-awesome reaction: Deal Breaker in place of Bias Wrecker because, yes, they are a deal breaker LOL. Also, "Visual hook"! I love that!
Jeff, I totally dig your honesty. Since this MV came out during the height of the pandemic, my husband and I both cried the first time we saw it. We had lost loved ones, experienced a lot of hardship... to see images of people taking off masks and dancing freely was so incredibly moving for us. Then, when we went to the concert with the same name, we cried again.
I suspect they chose a Western theme with a retro flair to convey a sense of longing for the past (pre-pandemic) and freedom. Cowboys are a great symbol of independence that we didn't have during the nitty gritty of the pandemic.
I cried the first time to. Because of the message ❤️
same, to me the "light" video is the dream of a better world, where there is space for everybody, we stop ignoring disabled ppl and dance together... while it is a lot less complex as a song than their usual stuff, the simplicity of that promise and the fact that they understand/possibly share this yearning is what made it meaningful to me
One really cool thing about this music video is the set. That's not an actual desert. They built that along with the store and it's done in such a way that each side (and the interior) are used in the video. I'm always impressed when I watch the MV because it's a really clever way to use space.
They integrated international sign language in the choreo. "Fun, Dance & Peace".
Yes. Inclusive Choreo if you can call it......this so that people with disability can join the fun.
Jeff would really enjoy their older music since his musical preference is rap/hip-hop. I’d also be curious to see how he views the music videos from their early days. I’m enjoying you enjoy BTS, Jeff!
Hahaha.... Watching Jeff being a bit confused, like... "what's the purpose of this song?" since it's so different (and less complex) than the rest of their discography. I think knowing that they attended the UN and performed this song (pre-recorded at the UN hall/complex in NY) at the UN general assembly gives more CONTEXT as to "maybe" WHY they made a song like this.
The song is a more "generic" feel-good uplifting-intended song, in my opinion. While we won't know the inner workings and decision makings between them preparing a song like this vs. their UN visit w/ the S. Korean president, but... my feeling is they prepared this song w/ this specific message, as it ties to the message/goal of the UN visit. That UN thingy must have taken months to plan (Sept), and this song came out 2 months (July) before their visit, and it's so atypical of their usual stuff, so I feel it's not only just for the pandemic message, but also a part of the bigger arc of the whole UN trip planning and goal they're trying to deliver, and also nicely tied together w/ their concert theme that happened later after the UN event. (I mean, imagine performing Mic Drop at the UN? hahaha... joke...)
So I think it is a good idea that Taylor had Jeff react to this video, kind of a preparation to your concert experience! :-)
Ah! I just realized, it might help if the teaser to this MV was viewed first for this particular MV. The beginning shot of the newspaper front page headlines pretty much summarized the whole theme and message of the song and MV. It'll provide more context to the MV itself.

That actually makes soo much sense, thank you for the comment.
14:40 There were people who were angry because they thought the song & MV were saying that COVID is definitively over & restrictions can end - esp. the scenes where they cut to people removing their masks.
The song was released at the beginning of July, 2021, at a point when infection rates had been dropping & even countries, like S. Korea, with very strict COVID requirements were beginning to ease them. I think BTS were portraying this newfound sense of hope + summer vibes + something a bit deeper. Namely, that even WITH strict C19 restrictions, it's still possible & necessary to find & experience joy in life, i.e. we may be under quarantine, but we don't need permission to dance.
P.S. I think you'll really enjoy, "Interlude: Shadow," and, "Intro: Persona;" both the songs & the MVs. They're both Hip Hop-centric songs; the first is a dark solo by Suga & the second is a less-dark but equally resonant solo by RM. Both songs also have a bunch of interesting cinematographic techniques in the MVs.
mans not even 30 secs in😭😭😭 "so good" "so damn good" MOOD I LOVE HIMMM
people had very different reactions to ptd! Some had more similar reactions like Jeff, while some, and I would say actually a lot of us, got really emotional by it. I cried the first time I watched the mv, and I’ve seen several reactors crying to, but not understanding why it made them cry.. ptd really gets me quite emotional to this day, and I don’t really understand why, haha
I kind of felt that way when I first heard the song but grown to love it. They make everything so special.
Taylor cam was a great addition!
I definitely enjoyed this song the more I listened to the song and paid attention to the lyrics. (Sometimes I don’t really pay attention when it’s in English) I think in some ways it’s a snapshot in time of how we were all feeling last summer, wanting to see our lives get back to normal. I was moved by a few reactors who got emotional watching for the first time. For me, I also like the message of resilience and pushing through when there are obstacles, no matter what they are, and still managing to do it with joy.
Hope you have a great time at the concert!
You don’t need to love all their songs/choreo Jeff… the fact that you appreciate their art is more than enough for ARMY! Once again thank you Taylor for re-uploading.. was waiting for it since yesterday when I got the notif and showed it got bocked! Borahae!💜💜
I love the way you approached this reaction. It wasn't the song/choreo for you, but I could tell you still appreciated all that went into the MV.
This choreo is pretty special to a lot of ARMY, especially those who are hearing impaired/dead. They wanted to make the choreo relatively simple and inclusive. 💜
i recognized the sign language the first time i watched the MV and started crying right away. V, in particular, has used signing before but i think it was the whole group that decided to use it here. they even had a hearing aid in their twitter bio for a bit. part of the message was that even though the world was in lockdown, we could still dance, wherever we are. their 3 english songs were made to bring comfort to their fans since that's all they felt they could do for us.
The thing that sticks out to me about Jeff's reaction videos is that he says "I don't know, if you care about that" when he talks about cool behind the scenes equipment, techniques, etc. I just want to say, We do care! It's really cool to learn about those things! Thank you for sharing your expertise with us!
I’m old and grew up buying 45 rpm singles that had the heavily promoted “hit” on one side and something nobody expected to do well on the B side. For me Butter is the single and Permission to Dance is the B side. BTS didn’t have ambitious plans for this song. It was just for fun. They were surprised at its success.
Borahae fellow Senior ARMY 💜😊
There was a dance challenge last year. Everyone submitted their videos of doing this. The Taylor cam was a very cute touch!
That’s okay…I think there were many people who didn’t initially vibe with the song when it first was released but it grows on you…💜
I also didn't really like PTD the first time I heard it, mostly because it sounded like any generic pop song out there. Like it could have been given to any artist and it would have sounded almost exactly the same (also to a lesser extent because of the extreme levels of autotuning on the rap line's voices). It was lacking something that I had already come to expect from BTS's music in the year and a half-ish that I'd been following them when the song came out (I'm an ON-era ARMY). Over time I've come to like it more, although I vastly prefer their live versions of it to the studio version.
Fun fact: In the crew choreography part at the end of the MV, the person at the center back of the group wearing the yellow shirt is Son Seung-duk, their director of choreography.
The pausing is NOT a problem just continue to share your honest reaction and emotions.
i love you put the "taylor cam" on the video 🕺... this is the thing about permission to dance. you feel that you love it less, but it makes you dance. 😁😁 But tbh, i really like ptd. this song makes me feel relax.
Thanks for your reaction Jeff. Don't worry we'll be waiting for your next reaction patiently. I hope you enjoy the concert and don't worry to dance with armys there. 💜
Thanks to you too, Taylor.. Have a nice trip and enjoy the ptd festival there. 💜
This is a covid song, mainly to bring positivity, as you said quite easy to follow but inclusive in a sense since it includes international sign language. 2nd song was co-written by Ed Sheeran (the other one is "make it right"). All of them are singing no rapping here.
I agree with your sentiment regarding their music, however take a look at the Permission to Dance performance at the UN...it was really a great use for the song and was perfect for the occasion....take a look even if you don't react to it
Actually, the first time I watched it my reaction was similar to Jeff’s in that I was kinda disappointed and it was their second all English song and I was afraid they were going to lose their start to attract more fans in the US. The more I watched it and learned about it. The more I grew to love it.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I was the same and tbh I don't really listen to it now it's not my taste but I love it and the message behind it also it was their 3rd English song this came out after Butter
How do you equate singing in another language to somehow losing their Korean roots? That is incredibly disrespectful, you would not say the same about their Japanese discography would you? They have openly spoken about the racism they have faced, hearing people criticize them both for not speaking English and for speaking English. This is a very bad take.
I didn’t say that they would lose their Korean roots. I was saying I wanted people new to them to see how absolutely amazing some of their past videos and song and choreography. I was hoping people would not think that PTD was the extent of their gifts and talents and.., I have no idea how you got the idea what I said had anything to do with their Korean roots. Talk about disrespectful. Apparently, you have have an issue or you would not have taken my comments so out of context. Be well.
@@bulletproofdreamers8541 see my comment about how you took something I said and made it into something entirely different.
@@lauriemontijo You are the one saying that singing in English would some how be the equivalent of "lose[ing] their start to attract more fans." Maybe you should reevaluate what you say before saying it, especially as a non-Korean. Singing in another language has nothing to do with who they are or how they create their art. The problem lies with you, do some self-reflection.
I was also a little underwhelmed when I first heard PTD but like what others said in the comment, the more I listened to it I have come to appreciate it and in fact has become my favorite of the 3 English songs.
Okay, be honest: how many people were watching this at home and doing "fun, dance, peace" in their chairs? 🥳💃✌💜
Me!
and ME!
JK and Suga's new song "Stay alive" is my favorit right now. I also like House of cands and Cypher.
House of cards*
I'm at work watching this 🥰
RM is also my bias sir Jeff. I was attracted to him the 1st time I see the carpool karaoke. Heheh
And the rest of them are the wreckers haha.
I love this song! Every time I hear it, I feel such joy. It's my go-to song when I am sad or tired. It's simple and 'pop' and easy to listen and dance to, which makes it so much fun. And it is a change from their usual material, but how much fun did everyone have figuring out why they made this one? Even with a easy, happy song they challenged ARMY.
Foot tapping shot was priceless 😄 thanks, Taylor! 😁
Jeff-don't get too stressed out. Go there and have a good time. Just be prepared that you'll be standing up most of the time. It is 2+ hours of pure joy.
I think because BTS has become something of a phenomenon there are reactions from every genre of reactor. For the singing for the fashion for the dancing for every single aspect of production of music videos and stage performances. For mental health for speech and interaction for art for interpretation of the BTU for well. Everything. I'm watching because I have zero knowledge of this aspect and I'm very interested in the gimble and soft lighting and you being very proud of your super cool dancer wife lol
Jeff, be advised - the first time I heard this song I HATED it - my heart sank! Now, after hearing - and singing - it many times, I love it.
I think it is crucial to remember the time and circumstances under which it was made - both as a song and the MV. Lockdown had continued for 18 months and there was little indication things would change. Like their other English songs, BTS chose NOT to go dark, but instead to keep things light to raise spirits which everywhere (including in their own house) were struggling. Yes, this song anticipates the defeat of Corona virus - still only partially achieved, even now.
In addition, Yes, the dance was deliberately simple and easy to achieve - because they wanted people to join in. They actually invited people to post videos of them dancing with the MV, in the PTD challenge, and many did.
It took a loooong time for me to "get it" too, so don't feel bad about lagging behind. BUT perhaps be a little bit more patient and trusting of BTS - they always have a reason, and that reason is probably deeper than you will find with any other artist.
I probably prefer the deeper meanings in their Korean work too but have come to love these songs as well.
Yes, honesty! Thank you! Not a fan either but it's actually a great song to end concerts lmaoo It's so different from their usual style exactly for the same reason Dynamite and Butter has: COVID. The extremely used genre, really simple and non-deep message, easy choreography, english... all it's so the good vibes during such awful global times reach easly to everyone.
Don't worry about cathing up! I haven been an ARMY since 2017 and I haven't catched up either... Have fun in the concert!
I don't know what to say about your reactions anymore
I have commented earlier. You are a wonderful, and genuine person and at least for me... Your reactions to BTS stand upto rewatching, multiple times. You and Shiki are the two most genuine BTS reactors I have ever seen on YT.
I grew to love this song so much, that it makes me emotional when I watch the MV. The pandemic has been really hard for many people, so PTD makes me hopeful. And it's just the perfect ending song for the concert, I've been to three BTS concerts, and at my first 2 concerts I got post concert depression, but after the LA concert I was just super happy.
the taylor cam from 22:10 was hilarious 😂😂
To me, PTD was more of a message of hope, carrying on, being free. I loved the BTS You Tube shorts movement they did, people from all over the world participated in it. They also used some of those submissions and made one combo video in the end. So touching💜@Jeff if you see the masks of actors were on then off toward the end. Also love the sign language they incorporated (you should also watch the United Nations performance of PTD). Also there are some small hidden Easter eggs in the background of some of the scenes, i.e. the truck JK is standing on, the large poster behind Jin and JHope, signage on the storefronts, the sign next to J-Hope, etc. (you’d need to freeze frame them to check out). This totally sounds like an Ed Sheeran written song too. It’s funny, they hadn’t even met in person yet and this was the 2nd song written by him for BTS. This is just a feel good song 🎤🎶🎵🎤🎧
Jeff there is so much out there of BTS this is just one song that made a lot of people very happy. You don’t have to like everything but this song was really needed by many. It was very uplifting. Now start getting to work on all the amazing BTS works that are out there for you to honestly react to. I think you will be pleasantly surprised💜
Please BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS is just perfect for him ... FAKE LOVE , I NEED YOU TOO
I got worried when Jeff wasn't pausing 😂😂 oh btw love the Taylor Cam💙😁. Keep up the good work guys. I love your content and reactions 💙. Enjoy the concert! Fighting !!
OMG! I'm early today. and waiting for his Grammys 2022 reaction. 😅 💜
I really loved this song 💜 it symbolises so many good things like UNITY, end of COVID...it's a very refreshing , positive & uplifting song dat brings people of different races, culture, ethnicity, ages together as u see on the music video itself 😊💜
I think we all know that your bias is really the gimble operator 😉
Thank you for these awesome breakdown reactions. Absolutely love watching these with a film-maker's perspective!
I'm so beyond excited for you to see them live!!! 💜
I love, love, love, love your reaction!!!!!!
The signs that they are doing are:
**Hands alt ⬆️⬇️ on chest with thumbs up= joyful/happy
**✌downwards towards palm and swing wrist back and forth=💃🕺dancing 💃
**✌upward = peace
**walking fingers up arm=walk
**✌touch index finger to outer eye with middle finger pointing out.(not down like posing for pictures) Then pull from eye towards who you are looking 👀=
I see you/I'm watching you
These are the ones sign language signs i saw immediately. I have some hearing loss and learned when I was young so I am glad to see BTS do something like this 💜
Having breakfast while watching this! Thank you for the reactions and thank you Taylor for the editing. This is one of channels that I look forward to seeing.
And already enjoying Jeff talks about his bias and wrecker hahaha love it!
Forget "deal breaker" 😂😂, maybe Jeff needs to watch the making of Spine Breaker "MV" LOL 😂
Love the Taylor cam, thx Taylor your brilliant 💜💜
Hahaha It's so cute to see you figuring out the new words and concepts in being an ARMY! I love this journey 💜
I really enjoy Permission to Dance, but I really love Black Swan, Blood Sweat and Tears, Fake Love, Danger, and On (The Kinetic Manifesto Film). I mean, I love all their songs, but those are my current top five.💜
what i love is that you notice all those miniscule details and pause quickly so we can keep track of what you are commenting. i really love you sharing your expertise!
happy for you that you'll be going to see them live at LV !! Enjoy and dance to PTD
Yaaaayyy!! Glad it’s back up :)
Your excitement is infectious 💜
tjat constant small smile on your face tells a lol haha 😆 welcome to the chaos!! 💜💜
he is in absolute need to get introduced to hyyh era ...please taylor 🥺🥺
i love how jeff always goes like ‘‘wait can i watch it again?’’ i mean, he’s literally the sweetest when he says that 🥺.
I had similar feelings about the song. I love the sentiment behind it and sometimes I really vibe to it, but most of the time it's not a favourite. Sometimes I don't vibe with it at all, sometimes it makes me super happy. I have very complex feelings towards this song, hahaha
My favorite part of this MV is they included people most suffering from COVID like restaurant staff, school staff, delivery staff, eldely people and kids. The welcoming back office is smt like handicapped hr dep. I vaguly remember.
Oh, and one more thing, when they sing 'when we fall, we know how to land' almost always my eyes got wet. Hope you can
see what this lyrics mean and who said it first as you dig into this borahae world.
Yessss, shall we learn to do the dance Jeff..... iam gonna break some bones 😁😁, Greetings from Suriname 💜🇸🇷
There're actually a lot of easter eggs in the video, like their debut date is a phone number on the laundromat window, there's a sign in the office saying disABILITY, there's writing on the piano, etc. Even when they make a light song/video they just can't help but put in little "gifts" for us to find. 😂
I'm not a huge fan of this song or this video. BUT. When I first watched it, I was first cynically grumpy when it featured people wearing masks. Keep in mind when this came out, and that whole world it seemed was masked. I thought this was kind of a "let's pretend everything is fine even though" vibe, and I was not having it. But then I found myself crying when the people in the video took their masks off--I cried again when I watched it just now in your reaction! It was a kind of happy reminder of what the world will be again--you could say it was envisioning a future when the pandemic response is over--but it was so well done that it was also a subtle rebellion against masking off people's faces. It was reclaiming humanness. It was focusing on people's faces, and joy, and bringing people together in the visuals, instead of separating them, like the world has been insisting upon for the past 2 years. I thought it was very well written and executed, because no matter where you fall on the whole mask spectrum you could find this video a happy place. So by the end I found the video cathartic. (advanced degree in Film Studies means I over-analyze everything, but this one wasn't about analysis, it was about feels. And this video, even though it still is not nearly my favorite, really hit me.
Jeff's reaction is very genuine, thanks for this. He's slowly becoming my favorite BTS reactor 💜 ~ baby ARMY
i can relate to what he's saying.. i have a bias (Suga) then the rest are my bias wrecker.. like, i really can't choose because i know at some level i love all of the members..
Permission to Dance was BTS gift for ARMY, And dance was also for the disabled, if you can see there’s a lot of sign language in the dance. They’re just so amazing , so much love. 💜💜💜 . Thank You.
Also, can you do a reaction on BTS Grammys 2022 performance? 💜
Love the Taylor cam! 💜
Just an FYI, the MV is full of symbolism. Some are insider knowledge between ARMY and BTS, others are more general regarding the message of this song, and the overall intention behind the trilogy of English language songs they've released during the pandemic.
Taylor, awesome job! I've really enjoyed your documentation of their (Jeff and Olive) journey down the rabbit hole.😁 Looking forward to the Grammy performance reaction(s).
Jeff there is nothing wrong with enjoying the BTS songs with more depth and meaning. Honestly it is the reason most ARMY are drawn to the guys, they have a way of creating great music with greater meaning.😊
Journey on...
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I love the way you watch. It's in your profession.
finally! Tried fo watch it yesterday and twas not available anymore. Saw it today and immediately watch it
I love your reactions 😁
This was also a celebration that the end of covid isolation was here, and BTS and ARMY would see each other soon.
Hi Jeff, I. may not enjoy your stopping but I understand your a born teacher and want to share your knowledge which I thank you. I am sure there are students listening. More power.
I like how you break down and explain everything. You shouldn't have to explain yourself and shouldn't be getting rude comments about anything you do. Maybe put a little description in your description area that you break down the process of filming, lighting, etc for new people coming across your information area that stays on there for when you continue to experience they're great talent. I enjoy watching you experience it.
You gonna love it when you attend the concert. I just attended the movie theatre screening of the concert and this song is so special at the end
We have that in common!!! My bias is also RM and my wrecker is Sugar and coming right behind him is Jimin!!
Poor Jeff was so nervous about the dancing by the end of the shooting sketch he didn't even comment on the crane camera! Or the gimble camera guy working hard! You'll be ok Jeff, just have fun.
I like how you notice every little detail that no one else does.
Tbh the first time I listened and watched ptd I didn’t really like it much but the more and more I listened and learned about it I began to really like it. This song gives me really good vibes and fills me with lots of hope that this pandemic with be over soon. :)
Please take your time and proceed at whatever pace is comfortable for you. There is so much content with the music, the music videos, the behind the scenes videos, interviews, performances, Run BTS, Bon Voyage, In the Soop and they are always creating new content!
Jeff, your reviews are awesome. Love hearing your expert point of view. What show will you be attending? I’m headed to LV from Kansas City this evening for Saturday’s show. So excited!!!
Not me smiling when he mentioned his bias and wrecker 😂😭
I really like Jeff's analogy here..its not that the music is not great, it just might cater more to a different audience. Still it doesn't reduce BTS's relevance..but I just want to say thank you for doing reactions to them and for being truthful on ur comments..great job taylor..i became a fan of ur channel because of ur great content..keep it up..btw nice shirt Jeff 🥰
I think they were going for a 60/70/80’s feel with the aesthetic of the video. If you see Dynamite and Butter which came before PTD they both go along those lines with different palette colors but kind of making a continuation of the theme
RM bias over here!
Jeff need to watch more songs from their set list when you guys comeback from the concert!
An ARMY said a while ago that "Permission to dance" was an anagram of "stories on pandemic" and it blew my mind. I'm still amazed. I'd like to know if it was on purpose or not, but even if not, it's a very interesting coincidence given the time this single was released.
Oooooo...After seeing JK counting for Hobi & Jin, I think it would be nice to watch Life Goes On, since JK made his directorial debut 💜🖤 and shooting sketch too 😉
This song is designed for feelgood factor during the miserable pandemic and it worked for many, as we danced along. Unusual for BigHit videos to be blocked, usually if you show the opening credit it's good to go. You're wise not to allocate bias wreckers too far down the list, you've just basically named your bottom three and are getting into dangerous territory! 😂😂😂
FYI : permission to dance rearrange to stories on pandemic wrote by Ed sheeran oppa ♡♡
Jeff laughing at himself for getting deeper in is so me five years ago
Oh I wish I was going AAAAAAAA
Enjoy the show!!!
I luv your reaction
리액션이 아버지가 자식들 바라보듯이 다정합니다.
자주 올려주세요. 고맙습니다.
Ed Sheeran was also involved in writing their 2019 song Make It Right.
We like that style !!!
