DT, I agree! They are absolutely grooming him for super stardom. They know EXACTLY what they have with JK and his talent! He isn't JUST a vocalist, a dancer, beautiful human, performer and artist. He is ALL of that and more. Very few have "IT" like JK!
I don't think he is being groomed. he was a boy with ambition/passion and now he is a man with ambition/ passion. BTS, especially the 3J were always interested in MJ style. dynamite they did MJ style. I remember JK saying that when he got this song from Andrew, he sat down and drew his plan. JK is very creative and plans everything. He, in his BE interview with Jhope, talked about having 3 MVs when he releases his mini album. now 2 or 3 yrs later he released 3 MVs. He did not get all the songs when he went to US to record in April. He got them much before and he clearly picked and chose most of the songs before he made that first trip in April. This song happens to be a good one for incorporating MJ style and I think Jk went for it. JK knows what he wants and he goes for it, like his self-vocal training, instead of a trainer.his dance training,he worked hard for what he is today If you look at all his songs and MVs, shows that he went for versatility and showcasing his talents in different ways. I will never underestimate JK. Anyway this is my opinion
In any words, they are supporting him to become the global super star he is! Amazing talent! Driven and ambitious! I just can't get enough of this song!
@@SBCinNC company? that company which didn't help him since he said he want to release mixtape? Instead took away his mixtape song and gave to group? And during this break no company producer helped him (pdogg and other company producers helped JM because he used to be Pdogg friend). It's thanks to an outsider (Scooter who introduced JK to Andrew Cirkut and Watt) seeing Jungkook potential and reaching out to Jungkook. Otherwise hybe was happy giving Jungkook nothing. Just how Jk got ZERO MV during bts era while others got 10 MVs.
Definitely agree with you, he’s inherited the crown off MJ. No one else comes close. He has it all and will be the number one solo star in the world. Number one group and number one soloist. Mega talent.
This is the JK that I won't forget... this moment in time when he's as the top of the game as a soloist, when his charisma is off the charts, his dance skills are at his best and even his live vocals have risen to another level.... this is truly JK's golden days.... and it'll be a time that I won't forget, he's so damn cool. I honestly don't think their is another artist in the world that can remotely compete with what he's currently bringing to the table. He's on his own level and I'm here for every second of it.
He is achieving his Dream as pop star... He say he want to do all genre of music.. And he nailed it and he deserves it... He worked on his voice for ten years as a main vocalist... And he say he want to be in bts only forever
he was born with the star factor, the IT factor.....something that can't be learned, some people are just born with it. He is just so gifted. Vocally, in dance, his physique, he's attractive even more when he's bare faced than with make-up....he has a great personality, very genuine, and yes i love the masculinity to heaven & back!
This choreo is iconic! JK was impecable on every move. He promised something epic and he delivered. The new king has arrived. And in this video the MJ reference was clear. Borahae!
I wholeheartedly agree with you, DT. Jungkook is undeniably "the ONE" with top-tier talent and the potential to become the superstar of this generation, much like the iconic MJ.
I only started following BTS because of JK, wishing for his solo debut one day. Listening to his voice i was sorry that he sang so little. When he danced I was sorry that the cameramen didn't frame him more often. Then I went looking for videos with the focus on JK. I knew he could give much more. And this is the moment I've been waiting for. Like MJ, he too is of the zodiac sign of Virgo.
Same for me. My focus was always on JK. Hoping for more solo work because I knew from the first moment I saw him that he's a superstar. So proud right now!
I also feel his passion come through the screen and also he transmit the same passion live, he adores what he does and this is also an IT factor thay set him apart...so many artist just do what they do because of the money and fame but Jk really feel passion for his craft, he was born for this for sure.
Congratulations JK! It's another awesome performance. This only proves that he is born performer with oozing talent and charisma. He is very passionate that everybody loves. It shows in everything he do. We love it! 💜💜💜
yeah jungkook has always had a very strong "pop star" vibe to him and he himself wants to be acknowledged as a pop star so it's no wonder why he has such a strong superstar aura. i also think a big part of it has to do with his confidence. he's always been a solid performer but he used to be way more shy however nowadays he's just oozing confidence and charisma and that definitely comes across when he's performing which is also why a lot of his performances feel very seductive and charming, like they always say, confidence is sexy haha... he's definitely in his prime right now and as an army who's been here for around 5 years i couldn't be more proud of him and his growth.
His duality is off the charts. He is a born performer and I can’t wait to see what he does next. I know he has to enlist soon and he will be proud to serve, but I can only imagine what would happen if he was allowed to continue his solo endeavors. I also love that he puts BTS first before his own solo stuff. A true team player. He will definitely go far. Thanks for your reaction DT!
Technically, he has until late 2027 because all of BTS have those extensions until they are 30 years old (real 30 not Korean 30).So he technically can be a solo artist until 2025 when BTS are slated to come back. Then tour with BTS until 2027. But it's up to him.
@@lillyess385 Very true, but knowing him he’ll probably stick to the schedule that has them all back in 2025. I’m sure he’ll get around to that world tour one day. 😁
This! I've always thought the company sees JK as the ticket to expand reach into other demographics that may have not been exposed to BTS ,or KPop in general, because their lanes seldom meet. I am seeing so many people now being interested after discovering JK and starting to want to learn more about him and then BTS. Like you, even though I believe that all BTS members are fantastically talented, JK is seen as the most likely to succeed in mainstream. When some solo stans of other members scream injustice to their biases because JK is 'favoured' by the company, they don't realise that if JK successfully penetrates mainstream, this will ultimately bring benefit to the team as a whole when they get back together in 2025 and gain their biases new fans.
Let us not forget he has military service, and the reuniting of BTS. It will blow us out of the water when BTS reunites. He is a star in his own right and if the contract was not signed I might agree with you about the grooming for greater things. Who knows that may happen but BTS and ARMY are first with JK. He has a long career ahead of him and it will be amazing.
exactly, you just said it....he has so much masculinity in his performance....he was my bias right away because he is far above anyone with his sexy vibe. Even from the beginning every dance move is like a thrust....he is just so damn sexy!! Nothing can stop him now.... here for it! 😎💜🖤💥
DT - he is a superstar! MJ vibes - but all JK dancing and singing. Face gestures add tremendously to his overall effect and success with this song. Remarkable talent! He's worked damned hard for a decade to reach this point. I could watch this type of JK all day long. He is indeed incredible!🤟💜💯💯💫💥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I LOVE this song- by far my favorite!! And I did not care for the explicit version of 7 or 3D very much - but THIS IS the Jungkook I knew could take over the world! Everything from his style, hair, wardrobe, choreography- just PERFECTION!!!! ❤
I’m always excited to see what DT has to say about the Bangtan Boys! He always nails it! I agree 100%💜 and I’m here for it💜 Kookie, Jimin and Suga are my absolute faves although I agree, every single member is incredibly talented but JK is on another level💜🕺🏽💜
He has always been amazing all through his career. His had influence from MJ in his young days. You can also see a lot of MJ in BTS’s dancing and music also. He was born to be on stage. He is gold shelf level.
JK said he wanted to be a global pop star and here he is in all his glory. What I love about him is that the group BTS will always be more important to him. He will never leave his brothers. He will work his ass off to do both, but he will always prioritize BTS. I can’t wait til 2025 when they all are together again. It’s gonna be some next level stuff going down. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
he is now Kook Jackson 😂😂....I am an Army since 2015 and even I am scare of his power, there are NO limits for him...he is ready to be a legend, he may think he is not but he is...he is the FULL package and more! Our Golden boy! 💜
I’m sad he has to leave soon, I feel like he’s so close to breaking out globally as soloist. I know BTS are considered mainstream but I still don’t think they’ve broken fully into the US but I think JK has a chance. He has the looks and voice that the west loves. But ofcourse, I know they want to remain as a group so he has no choice but to leave soon.
Hello, DT Parker, I love your reactions. It is great to see Jungkook in the flowering of his confidence, and his abilities are phenomenal. One thing that I remember about Michael Jackson was his social consciousness, that he took huge risks in his work politically and socially, and was known world wide as a Prince of Peace. They admired and felt supported by him in prisons, favelas, and in mean streets... His work embodied an activism beyond the admiration of his prodigious technical skills. I see that capacity to lead others towards transformation echoed in Agust D Snooze, in Jimin´s Set Me Free Pt. 2, in BTS´s Film Out, J Hope´s Lollapalooza. I will look forward to seeing JK´s spiritual and social growth as he goes forward. This is an exciting time.
You nailed it. The boy has become a man. And you're right about his newfound masculinity. I know he's still a kid chronologically, but his outlines have been filled in with this performance - he's now part of a tradition of superlative male dancers. All that hard, grueling work and dedication has paid off spectacularly. And how great is his backing dance crew?! This is a pleasure to watch.
DT, RECUERDAS LA PRIMERA VEZ QUE VISTE AL GRUPO Y JUNGKOOK LLAMÓ TU ATENCIÓN PUES ESO QUE VES AHORA TAN INCREÍBLE SIEMPRE HA ESTADO ALLÍ. ESTÁ EN SU NATURALEZA Y EL ESTÁ DESTINADO A SER. HASTA SU MADRE LO VISLUMBRO EN UN SUEÑO CUANDO ESTABA EMBARAZADA DE ÉL. TODO A SU ALREDEDOR ERA DORADO Y EL TIEMPO SE HA ENCARGADO DE CONFIRMARLO. SI BIEN EN LA PERFORMANCE VEMOS MUCHO DE MJ PODEMOS DARNOS CUENTA TAMBIÉN QUE JUNGKOOK PONE SUS COLORES ALLI TAMBIEN Y LE AGREGA DE SU PROPIA COSECHA. JUNGKOOK ES UN VIRTUOSO Y UN GENIO PRODIGIO COMO LO LLAMO LA REVISTA ROLLING STONE HACE UN PAR DE AÑOS. "YOUNG GENIUS POLYMATH" ESA FUE LA DESCRIPCIÓN QUE HICIERON DE ÉL. Y LO COMPARARON CON PERSONAJES CÉLEBRES DE LA HISTORIA ENTRE ELLOS LEONARDO DA VINCI, Y MUCHOS OTROS NOMBRES. JUNGKOOK TAMBIÉN ES CONOCIDO COMO EL HOMBRE DEL RENACIMIENTO. SI VEMOS TODO LO QUE SABEMOS DE EL ES QUE SE APLICA EN TODO Y APRENDE TODO DESDE UN NIVEL SUPERIOR AL PROMEDIO DE HECHO LE GUSTA LA FÍSICA CUÁNTICA Y LE GUSTA LA QUIMICA. Y MUCHOS LO PASAN DESAPERCIBIDO PORQUE NO LE HAN PRESTADO ATENCIÓN PERO ES UN CONOCEDOR DE ESTAS CIENCIAS. ESTE PEQUEÑO DATO LO DEJO PARA ILUSTRAR PORQUE SE LE CONSIDERA UN ERUDITO. LO DEJARÉ HASTA ACÁ PERO HAY MUCHO DETRÁS DE JUNGKOOK INCLUSO SU PROPIO NOMBRE SIGNIFICA PILAR DE LA NACIÓN.
I remember a time when was speaking about his doubts. He wondered about his talent as artist without his brothers. Look him now! ❤ I’m so happy for him! I’m excited for the The Today Show Performance!
I agree to you he is mega phenomenal global superstar that he can do everything that any artist can not do,jk sings live and dance perfectly he gave his all ,so that's why i love him he is my no.1 bias 😊
You could be right about "the company" grooming him, etc and I had worried that with all of this success in his solo projects, but now I don't. He seems to seriously want to be back with the whole gang...I mean his selflessness in enlisting at the same time with Jimin, V and RM is just that, selfless. He could be out there on a world tour (which so many thought was probable after this Golden promo, etc) just shows he has even more integrity and loyalty than we even knew...love the guy and cannot wait to see them all back together....
JK is testing himself because he is very perfectionist and wants to learn and improve at everything and is very critical of himself and judges himself too much. I thought that he is taking the opportunity of the solos to get to know himself outside of BTS and to be able to grow even more because he doesn't consider himself good enough... although it is not true but he thinks so. I sincerely believe that he is showing us what he is worth and opening the door to chapter 2 of BTS, which will be more mature, I believe… I don’t thing BTS want to separate their group in a nearly future because they are family and they are suffering from being separated and having to stop their careers as a group but at the same time he is testing and evaluating himself and valuing what they form as a group. On the other hand, this is a clear message to all the haters who criticized their talent and ability and pigeonholed them into idols and Kpop... everything has a purpose BTS💜
He is also watching YT and reading comments on different social media and he can see even among the ARMYS how they talk about him, the hate he gets and now he is proving them wrong thru his actions.
I agree that he has the "IT" factor and is perhaps the idol with the best chance to break through into the western market. Now, as an ARMY, I have always felt that he had a sort of MJ quality to his performances, especially when I saw Dreamers at the world cup. The similarities were evidently there. Now, unfortunately, I am slightly disappointed that the majority of his choreography and outfits with this album are highly influenced by Michael Jackson. Why, you ask? Well, despite having the clear stage presence, he needs his own individuality. He cannot be relying on mere artist influence to showcase his amazing abilities. He needs to stand out on his own without the comparisons that are being presented through his dance and choice of wear. For the western market, he needs to be himself. If not, they will just brand him a wannabe, which he's not, but people in the US will still call him out on it. HYBE or he, himself, need to ensure he can be a viable idol without the need to dress/sound alike to another artist. I love BTS. I have been an ARMY for a few years now, and can guarantee that he will be incredibly successful as his own person. As sad as it is to say, he needs to speak better English as his interviews are slightly awkward and is unable to showcase his truly personality as he does in his native country. I get that Bang PD Nim wants to break into the US market to eventually get to the Japan and China one, but without a way to properly communicate, he won't. I'm not saying he should perfect his English by any means, but enough to have a basic conversation on shows. Jungkook is a star all on his own. He clearly has the drive and talent, but he won't go far if not guided properly. I'm not saying this to sound mean, but I know how tough the US market is to break into and how judgmental it can be. Jungkook's amazing, he just needs to stay focused on his goals.
I agree with you DT!!!JK is amazing, incredible, whatever word you want to use!!! This group of back up dancers that have done all of this with him are amazing also!!!!!😘🥰💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Amazing channel. I've always had this androgynous look as Jung Kook and other guys in K POP, but in my case it was fuel for bullies when I was growing up. I embraced it, used it to my advantage in my acting / modeling career, I was almost the face of Leon in these new Resident Evil games :) To anyone who's ever been a victim of hate / violence because of their appearance, gender, orientation, race : DO NOT ever let a hateful notion 'there's something wrong with me' sink in. Trust me, it's a recipe for self hatred and compulsive anxieties later on. When we suffer and we need a break, it's only natural to think: 'maybe if I wasn't 'different', if I was 'normal' I would be accepted. No, haters will always find something else to prey upon. They're extremely toxic who can see your potential and value but will drag you down with intent and hideus determination, when they notice a slightest sign of insecurity. Remember; There's never anything wrong with you.
Bless you am sorry for what you went through and well done to you being your authentic self it made you strong I hope you are proud of yourself and how far you have come We needed BTS in the world they are such positive role models and bring ppl together from all over the world I love them so much 'Older Army 'here lol 😊
Love your reaction DT! I absolutely agree with your assessment of JK & his mind blowing talent. I could watch this choreography & listen to JK's dreamy vocals all day. I also agree that Big Hit is grooming him for megastardom.
DT…. when I watch this, when it first came out, he opened with that white shirt on my mediate thought was, OMG, then, when it switched to him in that shiny suit, I sat there, watching him, my jaw dropped, eyes wide open, and I won’t even tell you my thoughts of him in that suit. The same reaction of him in the suit on a Jimmy Fallon show or rather, I think it was a tux. I have watched so many reactions to this song which I absolutely love and the choreography, is the best. Actually , this is not what I wanted to say, but I try to keep it clean. Yes, I remember watching your first reaction, and you picked out JK as the want to have the, “it factor“. It is so hard for me sometimes as I watch these to reconcile this JK to the other JK with sometimes C. I have to say I love alpha, JK.💜
Totally agree with you!! Amazingly talented and he loves Michael Jackson, remember when Jimin and Jk did the jacket swap when dancing to Black and White all those years ago? Such Endless talent!!!!! Amazing 😍
I watched your reaction a month ago and again today after RM and Tae have enlisted and JK and Jimin tomorrow. Jungkook accomplished so much ( they all did) in so little time and I think he's truly satisfied with Golden and how it was received. He chose BTS over his solo career. During his promotions, he repeatedly said he missed his band mates during the promotions and couldn't wait to be onstage with them. He's amazing and can't wait to see what he has in store for us when he returns. Take care DT, appreciate your love for all the members even though you have a bias who is an absolute angel.
DT I think this is the first time I've agreed with 💯% of your commentary at the end of this video. He commands the satage and has a powerful presence and versatile, ues all that and some chips! 😂
What I like about BTS individuals all of them commands the stage. They able to the impossible because they are geniuses in the music industry. Jk will make a wise decision about his direction as they strategy. Because each individual can hold their own and they been groomed to do so. I will always listen to their music until I no longer else. Jk another goat of the legendary group in music history period. Impeccable ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ all have been heavily influenced by the greatest MJ
He is a superstar no doubt, I just hope Hybe don't lose sight of BTS as an entity, my fear would be that they push his career thus breaking those 7 amazing artists apart. I hope he will not be convinced to go his own way. I've seen it happen so many times over the years 😢
I hope so too. But I think their bonds are so strong and they have such respect and love for each other and for how they complement each other that I think BTS will endure.
JK has stated that he would rather be in BTS as a group than be a solo artist, but this won't be the last of his solo work. I don't think anyone is going to tear BTS apart. The guys love each other and know they are the strongest when they are together. Plus, they are all looking forward to coming back and performing together.
Jk has said so many times that BTS is his life, and it gose for everyone of the group, they have all said BTS comes first. You can see he means it in this song with the DNA and black swan references. He also said that on the Jimmy Fallon show, he thanked the boys and ARMY. i love JK he is so talented, and he will go far💜💜💜💜
jungkook is constantly talking about wanting to perform with the whole group and saying he misses the members... yes JK does have his own goals and aspirations as a solo artist, he wants to do a solo tour in the future (he's been talking about it since 2020), he wants to release more songs solo and do more solo stuff (so do other members) however they have said time and time again that their priority is the group and their solo stuff will come in second place. so unless some internal issue happens that is so insane and big to the point where it causes issues within the group, i don't think you need to worry. if there's one thing the bts members have is love for each other, they're basically family. there's no doubt that within just a few months JK has shown immense potential as a solo artist (he's undeniably a huge pop star) and he has shown that he can pratically reach bts numbers all by himself BUT that doesn't mean that they're suddenly gonna push him and forget about bts as whole, that doesn't make much sense and bts themselves don't want it either... they want to be in the group for as long as possible.
But the others doing solo stuff too. They all had albums . It’s not jk’ fault if he shining more They can still continue as a group but let them explore solo careers.
You made some great observations. I had run out of words but you brought up the masculinity and it's so true! Yes, I think they've groomed him (in a good way) and I also think the time crunch of impending enlistment put a real fire under him and propelled him to new heights. 2025 is going to be spectacular!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜
I love it you got a lot puzzles in song BTS Black Swan, Dynamite, DNA, ON, than Michael yellow brick road down the middle the Wiz, Billie Jean, dangerous, smooth criminal, moon walker, and 2 more can't remember the name. A lot of work went into this. Between 3D and this one Holly Molly. Hit gold
DT, I agree! They are absolutely grooming him for super stardom. They know EXACTLY what they have with JK and his talent! He isn't JUST a vocalist, a dancer, beautiful human, performer and artist. He is ALL of that and more. Very few have "IT" like JK!
I don't think he is being groomed. he was a boy with ambition/passion and now he is a man with ambition/ passion.
BTS, especially the 3J were always interested in MJ style. dynamite they did MJ style.

Grooming is not the appropriate word to be used, company is not making him into something, he is that guy
In any words, they are supporting him to become the global super star he is! Amazing talent! Driven and ambitious! I just can't get enough of this song!
@@SBCinNC company? that company which didn't help him since he said he want to release mixtape? Instead took away his mixtape song and gave to group?

Just how Jk got ZERO MV during bts era while others got 10 MVs.
I hope we can all agree that JK is the BEST!
Definitely agree with you, he’s inherited the crown off MJ. No one else comes close. He has it all and will be the number one solo star in the world. Number one group and number one soloist. Mega talent.
He commands the stage …and when he performs….your eyes just glued on him…ive never seen like this since MJ era
This is the JK that I won't forget... this moment in time when he's as the top of the game as a soloist, when his charisma is off the charts, his dance skills are at his best and even his live vocals have risen to another level.... this is truly JK's golden days.... and it'll be a time that I won't forget, he's so damn cool. I honestly don't think their is another artist in the world that can remotely compete with what he's currently bringing to the table. He's on his own level and I'm here for every second of it.
Agree
“The older he gets the more IT he has”. I love it. You really nailed IT with that comment. I totally agree with you DT
You nailed it dear DT! Galing niya ano???
Please are you army US?
He is achieving his Dream as pop star... He say he want to do all genre of music.. And he nailed it and he deserves it... He worked on his voice for ten years as a main vocalist... And he say he want to be in bts only forever
HE ALWAYS SHONE, BUT NOW HE SHINES BRIGHTER THAN GOLD. NOW AS A SOLOIST HE IS REALLY SHOWING EVERYTHING HE IS CAPABLE OF. LOVE YOU JK ❤❤
he was born with the star factor, the IT factor.....something that can't be learned, some people are just born with it. He is just so gifted. Vocally, in dance, his physique, he's attractive even more when he's bare faced than with make-up....he has a great personality, very genuine, and yes i love the masculinity to heaven & back!

Jungkook's charisma just continues to burn brighter about him, in a golden nimbus of light.
STAR LIGHT.
I wholeheartedly agree with you, DT. Jungkook is undeniably "the ONE" with top-tier talent and the potential to become the superstar of this generation, much like the iconic MJ.
He is the most versatile and most talented. His vocals is the one that separate him from the rest. HE IS ALREADY A SUPERSTAR!
Agree no more!!!👍🥰😘

Exactly... The same after World Cup... Alot of people join army after his performance.. He was incredible
Very very well -said ! 👏👏
Very well said! 💯
Exactly,,,,,it‘s me

he is not being groomed he is just born to be a superstar
춤이야 말할것도 없고 표정에 압도당하고 무대에서 웅장하고 빛나는 아우라가 뿜어져나와
정국이는 이미 슈퍼슈퍼팝스타
군대가야하는것만 아니면 더더 성장하는 모습 볼수있을텐데 그게 아쉽다 다음 무대도 기대된다 요즘 정국이때문에 너무너무 행복해
He’s claiming the crown, picking up where MJ left off ❤
Jung kook is not just Singer,he is dancer,beautiful man and perfect person ❤
Just look at their awesome footwork on stage!! The harmony is insane!! I am totally mesmerized!!
DT - he is a superstar! MJ vibes - but all JK dancing and singing. Face gestures add tremendously to his overall effect and success with this song. Remarkable talent! He's worked damned hard for a decade to reach this point. I could watch this type of JK all day long. He is indeed incredible!🤟💜💯💯💫💥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is how you deliver the goods! Excellent on all levels!
The choreo version is even hotter. Just when you think it couldn't be possible.🔥🔥🔥
I LOVE this song- by far my favorite!! And I did not care for the explicit version of 7 or 3D very much - but THIS IS the Jungkook I knew could take over the world! Everything from his style, hair, wardrobe, choreography- just PERFECTION!!!! ❤
I’m always excited to see what DT has to say about the Bangtan Boys! He always nails it! I agree 100%💜 and I’m here for it💜 Kookie, Jimin and Suga are my absolute faves although I agree, every single member is incredibly talented but JK is on another level💜🕺🏽💜
He has always been amazing all through his career. His had influence from MJ in his young days. You can also see a lot of MJ in BTS’s dancing and music also. He was born to be on stage. He is gold shelf level.
JK said he wanted to be a global pop star and here he is in all his glory. What I love about him is that the group BTS will always be more important to him. He will never leave his brothers. He will work his ass off to do both, but he will always prioritize BTS. I can’t wait til 2025 when they all are together again. It’s gonna be some next level stuff going down. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Such an amazing performance 👏 🙌 ❤️ 😍
he is now Kook Jackson 😂😂....I am an Army since 2015 and even I am scare of his power, there are NO limits for him...he is ready to be a legend, he may think he is not but he is...he is the FULL package and more! Our Golden boy! 💜
Totally agree he has that it and it makes him a total package performer and a singer i love this man im so proud to stan him
I’m sad he has to leave soon, I feel like he’s so close to breaking out globally as soloist. I know BTS are considered mainstream but I still don’t think they’ve broken fully into the US but I think JK has a chance. He has the looks and voice that the west loves. But ofcourse, I know they want to remain as a group so he has no choice but to leave soon.
The choreography version is …mmmhhhh
Standing next to you is the best music video he brought out and the style suits him SO MUCH
Hello, DT Parker, I love your reactions. It is great to see Jungkook in the flowering of his confidence, and his abilities are phenomenal. One thing that I remember about Michael Jackson was his social consciousness, that he took huge risks in his work politically and socially, and was known world wide as a Prince of Peace. They admired and felt supported by him in prisons, favelas, and in mean streets... His work embodied an activism beyond the admiration of his prodigious technical skills. I see that capacity to lead others towards transformation echoed in Agust D Snooze, in Jimin´s Set Me Free Pt. 2, in BTS´s Film Out, J Hope´s Lollapalooza. I will look forward to seeing JK´s spiritual and social growth as he goes forward. This is an exciting time.
You nailed it. The boy has become a man. And you're right about his newfound masculinity. I know he's still a kid chronologically, but his outlines have been filled in with this performance - he's now part of a tradition of superlative male dancers. All that hard, grueling work and dedication has paid off spectacularly. And how great is his backing dance crew?! This is a pleasure to watch.
DT, RECUERDAS LA PRIMERA VEZ QUE VISTE AL GRUPO Y JUNGKOOK LLAMÓ TU ATENCIÓN PUES ESO QUE VES AHORA TAN INCREÍBLE SIEMPRE HA ESTADO ALLÍ. ESTÁ EN SU NATURALEZA Y EL ESTÁ DESTINADO A SER. HASTA SU MADRE LO VISLUMBRO EN UN SUEÑO CUANDO ESTABA EMBARAZADA DE ÉL. TODO A SU ALREDEDOR ERA DORADO Y EL TIEMPO SE HA ENCARGADO DE CONFIRMARLO. SI BIEN EN LA PERFORMANCE VEMOS MUCHO DE MJ PODEMOS DARNOS CUENTA TAMBIÉN QUE JUNGKOOK PONE SUS COLORES ALLI TAMBIEN Y LE AGREGA DE SU PROPIA COSECHA. JUNGKOOK ES UN VIRTUOSO Y UN GENIO PRODIGIO COMO LO LLAMO LA REVISTA ROLLING STONE HACE UN PAR DE AÑOS. "YOUNG GENIUS POLYMATH" ESA FUE LA DESCRIPCIÓN QUE HICIERON DE ÉL. Y LO COMPARARON CON PERSONAJES CÉLEBRES DE LA HISTORIA ENTRE ELLOS LEONARDO DA VINCI, Y MUCHOS OTROS NOMBRES. JUNGKOOK TAMBIÉN ES CONOCIDO COMO EL HOMBRE DEL RENACIMIENTO. SI VEMOS TODO LO QUE SABEMOS DE EL ES QUE SE APLICA EN TODO Y APRENDE TODO DESDE UN NIVEL SUPERIOR AL PROMEDIO DE HECHO LE GUSTA LA FÍSICA CUÁNTICA Y LE GUSTA LA QUIMICA. Y MUCHOS LO PASAN DESAPERCIBIDO PORQUE NO LE HAN PRESTADO ATENCIÓN PERO ES UN CONOCEDOR DE ESTAS CIENCIAS. ESTE PEQUEÑO DATO LO DEJO PARA ILUSTRAR PORQUE SE LE CONSIDERA UN ERUDITO. LO DEJARÉ HASTA ACÁ PERO HAY MUCHO DETRÁS DE JUNGKOOK INCLUSO SU PROPIO NOMBRE SIGNIFICA PILAR DE LA NACIÓN.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😍
muchas gracias no sabía esta información de nuestro dorado JK
Truly words.....❤❤❤❤❤
Гениальный комментарий!
I remember a time when was speaking about his doubts. He wondered about his talent as artist without his brothers. Look him now! ❤ I’m so happy for him! I’m excited for the The Today Show Performance!
He’s is incredible. There are not enough adjectives in the world to describe him.
I agree to you he is mega phenomenal global superstar that he can do everything that any artist can not do,jk sings live and dance perfectly he gave his all ,so that's why i love him he is my no.1 bias 😊
You could be right about "the company" grooming him, etc and I had worried that with all of this success in his solo projects, but now I don't. He seems to seriously want to be back with the whole gang...I mean his selflessness in enlisting at the same time with Jimin, V and RM is just that, selfless. He could be out there on a world tour (which so many thought was probable after this Golden promo, etc) just shows he has even more integrity and loyalty than we even knew...love the guy and cannot wait to see them all back together....
نجم عالمي حقآ وفريد من نوعه الماكني الذهبي أحسنت بالتوفيق جونكوك
私もあなたと同意見です！ジョングクは新時代のグローバルポップスターとして世界のトップに立つでしょう😊
彼の成長と飛躍を見守れるのは、ファンとして幸せですね❤
JUNGKOOK IS A NATIONWIDE WORLDWIDE GLOBAL UNIVERSAL GALACTIC MEGA SUPER POPSTAR
JK is testing himself because he is very perfectionist and wants to learn and improve at everything and is very critical of himself and judges himself too much. I thought that he is taking the opportunity of the solos to get to know himself outside of BTS and to be able to grow even more because he doesn't consider himself good enough... although it is not true but he thinks so. I sincerely believe that he is showing us what he is worth and opening the door to chapter 2 of BTS, which will be more mature, I believe… I don’t thing BTS want to separate their group in a nearly future because they are family and they are suffering from being separated and having to stop their careers as a group but at the same time he is testing and evaluating himself and valuing what they form as a group.
On the other hand, this is a clear message to all the haters who criticized their talent and ability and pigeonholed them into idols and Kpop... everything has a purpose
BTS💜
Jungkook is a perfectionist literally many virgo are like that they never satisfied with anything that’s why they perfect’s artists like mj or beyonce
He is also watching YT and reading comments on different social media and he can see even among the ARMYS how they talk about him, the hate he gets and now he is proving them wrong thru his actions.
I agree that he has the "IT" factor and is perhaps the idol with the best chance to break through into the western market. Now, as an ARMY, I have always felt that he had a sort of MJ quality to his performances, especially when I saw Dreamers at the world cup. The similarities were evidently there. Now, unfortunately, I am slightly disappointed that the majority of his choreography and outfits with this album are highly influenced by Michael Jackson. Why, you ask? Well, despite having the clear stage presence, he needs his own individuality. He cannot be relying on mere artist influence to showcase his amazing abilities. He needs to stand out on his own without the comparisons that are being presented through his dance and choice of wear.
For the western market, he needs to be himself. If not, they will just brand him a wannabe, which he's not, but people in the US will still call him out on it. HYBE or he, himself, need to ensure he can be a viable idol without the need to dress/sound alike to another artist. I love BTS. I have been an ARMY for a few years now, and can guarantee that he will be incredibly successful as his own person. As sad as it is to say, he needs to speak better English as his interviews are slightly awkward and is unable to showcase his truly personality as he does in his native country.
I get that Bang PD Nim wants to break into the US market to eventually get to the Japan and China one, but without a way to properly communicate, he won't. I'm not saying he should perfect his English by any means, but enough to have a basic conversation on shows. Jungkook is a star all on his own. He clearly has the drive and talent, but he won't go far if not guided properly. I'm not saying this to sound mean, but I know how tough the US market is to break into and how judgmental it can be. Jungkook's amazing, he just needs to stay focused on his goals.
JK is on fire 🔥
JK is not a package and a bubble, but a person with real talent
**** id You SEE the HUGE, FREE Concert that JK Did in TIMES SQUARE, New York, Yesterday?? But Besides That the GRAMMY Nominations are on LIVE Now! !
I agree with you DT!!!JK is amazing, incredible, whatever word you want to use!!! This group of back up dancers that have done all of this with him are amazing also!!!!!😘🥰💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Es un hecho JK ya esta en el punto de ser un gran artista solista
Amazing channel. I've always had this androgynous look as Jung Kook and other guys in K POP, but in my case it was fuel for bullies when I was growing up. I embraced it, used it to my advantage in my acting / modeling career, I was almost the face of Leon in these new Resident Evil games :) To anyone who's ever been a victim of hate / violence because of their appearance, gender, orientation, race : DO NOT ever let a hateful notion 'there's something wrong with me' sink in. Trust me, it's a recipe for self hatred and compulsive anxieties later on. When we suffer and we need a break, it's only natural to think: 'maybe if I wasn't 'different', if I was 'normal' I would be accepted. No, haters will always find something else to prey upon. They're extremely toxic who can see your potential and value but will drag you down with intent and hideus determination, when they notice a slightest sign of insecurity. Remember; There's never anything wrong with you.
🙏🏻💔🙏🏽
Bless you am sorry for what you went through and well done to you being your authentic self it made you strong I hope you are proud of yourself and how far you have come
We needed BTS in the world they are such positive role models and bring ppl together from all over the world I love them so much 'Older Army 'here lol 😊
Wow! He's not a little boy anymore!! He's had it all for a long time. He's on his way ❤❤❤❤ IT!! He has you are right DT!!!😊😊😊
Well, JK has said he would rather be in BTS the group than a solo artist, but this won't be the last of his solo works.
JK does have IT the man is just an all around super star 💜 This song seriously gives MJ vibes and I Love It 👍
Love your reaction DT! I absolutely agree with your assessment of JK & his mind blowing talent. I could watch this
choreography & listen to JK's dreamy vocals all day. I also agree that Big Hit is grooming him for megastardom.
All due respect to Jk, I loove him he is so good 🔥🖤🕺
He has taken the step! He said it.. want to be pop star and K- Pop star and damn he is both 🤩
PERFECTION .. down to Jung Kook slaying, the MJ/'White Socks' !!
It's all in the plan 😉
The best comment - He is on ANOTHER LEVEL!!!!!
💯 agree with you. Thanks again for your reactions, DT. Aloha!
Business Wise.... BIG HIT focus is to grow BTS in duality and be a BIGGEST GROUP in the World and the Biggest Soloist.
DT…. when I watch this, when it first came out, he opened with that white shirt on my mediate thought was, OMG, then, when it switched to him in that shiny suit, I sat there, watching him, my jaw dropped, eyes wide open, and I won’t even tell you my thoughts of him in that suit. The same reaction of him in the suit on a Jimmy Fallon show or rather, I think it was a tux. I have watched so many reactions to this song which I absolutely love and the choreography, is the best. Actually , this is not what I wanted to say, but I try to keep it clean. Yes, I remember watching your first reaction, and you picked out JK as the want to have the, “it factor“. It is so hard for me sometimes as I watch these to reconcile this JK to the other JK with sometimes C. I have to say I love alpha, JK.💜
JK SLAYED IT
His shirt 🥵
Totally agree with you!!
Amazingly talented and he loves Michael Jackson, remember when Jimin and Jk did the jacket swap when dancing to Black and White all those years ago?
Such Endless talent!!!!!
Amazing 😍
I love how you look kinda mad and yet so happy all at the same time.
I watched your reaction a month ago and again today after RM and Tae have enlisted and JK and Jimin tomorrow. Jungkook accomplished so much ( they all did) in so little time and I think he's truly satisfied with Golden and how it was received. He chose BTS over his solo career. During his promotions, he repeatedly said he missed his band mates during the promotions and couldn't wait to be onstage with them. He's amazing and can't wait to see what he has in store for us when he returns. Take care DT, appreciate your love for all the members even though you have a bias who is an absolute angel.
Same DT, same. I can watch it all day, Seven days a week!
Our boy is a supersta💜 2025 is gonna be epic, nobody are gonna touch these guys 🤭 so here for it
I agree with you. JK is a superstar now.
DT I think this is the first time I've agreed with 💯% of your commentary at the end of this video. He commands the satage and has a powerful presence and versatile, ues all that and some chips! 😂
I don't think the company is trying to groom him I just think this is JK :) 💜
What I like about BTS individuals all of them commands the stage. They able to the impossible because they are geniuses in the music industry. Jk will make a wise decision about his direction as they strategy.
Because each individual can hold their own and they been groomed to do so. I will always listen to their music until I no longer else. Jk another goat of the legendary group in music history period. Impeccable ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ all have been heavily influenced by the greatest MJ
Yap, he has the IT factor, he has all u need to be a star, he's a star 🤩
it is MJ's outfit from Black or White. And I am here for it.
I so agree. Watching JK has suddenly grown so much!! ❤
Yeees is true...this is spectacular, i am so proud of JK 💜💜💜
He is a superstar no doubt, I just hope Hybe don't lose sight of BTS as an entity, my fear would be that they push his career thus breaking those 7 amazing artists apart. I hope he will not be convinced to go his own way. I've seen it happen so many times over the years 😢
I hope so too.
But I think their bonds are so strong and they have such respect and love for each other and for how they complement each other that I think BTS will endure.
JK has stated that he would rather be in BTS as a group than be a solo artist, but this won't be the last of his solo work. I don't think anyone is going to tear BTS apart. The guys love each other and know they are the strongest when they are together. Plus, they are all looking forward to coming back and performing together.
Jk has said so many times that BTS is his life, and it gose for everyone of the group, they have all said BTS comes first. You can see he means it in this song with the DNA and black swan references. He also said that on the Jimmy Fallon show, he thanked the boys and ARMY. i love JK he is so talented, and he will go far💜💜💜💜
jungkook is constantly talking about wanting to perform with the whole group and saying he misses the members... yes JK does have his own goals and aspirations as a solo artist, he wants to do a solo tour in the future (he's been talking about it since 2020), he wants to release more songs solo and do more solo stuff (so do other members) however they have said time and time again that their priority is the group and their solo stuff will come in second place. so unless some internal issue happens that is so insane and big to the point where it causes issues within the group, i don't think you need to worry. if there's one thing the bts members have is love for each other, they're basically family. there's no doubt that within just a few months JK has shown immense potential as a solo artist (he's undeniably a huge pop star) and he has shown that he can pratically reach bts numbers all by himself BUT that doesn't mean that they're suddenly gonna push him and forget about bts as whole, that doesn't make much sense and bts themselves don't want it either... they want to be in the group for as long as possible.
But the others doing solo stuff too. They all had albums . It’s not jk’ fault if he shining more
They can still continue as a group but let them explore solo careers.
You made some great observations. I had run out of words but you brought up the masculinity and it's so true! Yes, I think they've groomed him (in a good way) and I also think the time crunch of impending enlistment put a real fire under him and propelled him to new heights. 2025 is going to be spectacular!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜
I love it you got a lot puzzles in song BTS Black Swan, Dynamite, DNA, ON, than Michael yellow brick road down the middle the Wiz, Billie Jean, dangerous, smooth criminal, moon walker, and 2 more can't remember the name. A lot of work went into this. Between 3D and this one Holly Molly. Hit gold
Agree with you DT, a hundred percent👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
He is the performer of this generation
Oui Jungkook superstar je suis fière de lui 💗❤❤
Our OT7 knows how to make us scream again and again with one track 💜💜💜💜
Dt look at jungkook's pants😁MJ be like..jungkook the modern MJ of this generation💜💜💜
It is the Xfactor. Phenomenal, hot , talented. I agree with everything you said. 💯 💛
JK is killing me. I won't be here for 2025. ❤
JK same mj black or white t-shirt
Congrats jk your amazing performances.
It's better than the actual video!! How?!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Omg perfection at its best. Only JK & Jimin can dance up a storm
I would add hobi to that list.
@jkkayyyyну не начинайте уже
😅😅😅
@jkkayyyy the 3j are the best ,jimin, jk and jhope cause they are versatile in dancing. They can pull different genres especially jimin.
@jkkayyyy sorry but there's no way v comes to jimin' flexibility and versatile. But if you that the way you see it fine.
Behold the rightful heir of Micheal Jackson, the Prince of Pop, Jeon Jungkook
Yes, JK is a Gift of the God for us.
We've been following BTS for the last 10 YEARS as ARMYS and i really hope now u guys know WHY.
He is the SUPERSTAR
