This IDOL was played by Korean traditional instruments. Even though the original music was digitally modified Korean traditional sound by Seoul National University.
Exactly! We can hear this more in the teaser for idol. Even the original idol MV has this Korean rythm as the base but we can't clearly hear it in the MV because of other overpowering music and beats. Here they just used the base version.
Dazed and Confused exactly even now....kpop is still very western in a way. They [mainstream ones] tend to still pull from western pop, Rnb, rap, and hip hop as an influence. They even incorporate the dancing from the West...but like who cares, it’s still in korean so it’s kpop. Yes pop means popular but no one owns a genre so who cares if they pull from the West. There’s a spin put on it in a way and its a bit different. Let’s just jam out to good music lol.
People definitely did criticised them - however I don't think this was a clap back. BTS has always been very Korean in their music and I think they're above knee-jerk reactions to prove themselves when it's unnecessary. This more cultural version of IDOL is just a natural progression of their sound in regards to their status as ambassadors of. S.Korea and their 'global-ness' in regards to the LOVE YOURSELF message. If it also proved their haters wrong, then that's just a bonus but it was never the main point of showing their culture. They showed Korean culture for that sake of showing Korean culture.
th-cam.com/video/0psiXVko6rI/w-d-xo.html Some claim the award is for all BTS but Korean national news media literally reported it as Jimin's award only. I can't find a copy of the national news here but there's copy of it in twitter. It's a national award too so it's really amazing.
Literally the only reason why people call them westernised is because of their success in the west. Because there’s absolutely nothing about bts that made them become “more westernised”. I don’t know why people keep saying that when other kpop groups literally release English versions of their songs just to appeal to a bigger audience (not that I have anything against that I listen to those songs too). I just don’t get it
HATERs will Hate. They always try to downgraded BTS achievements. The cringe part is when other groups releases full English songs, nobody said anything. The WESTERNIZED part is only apply to BTS. THE DOUBLE STANDARD IS REAL. DDAENG
IKR! Red velvet and NCT sing in English; don't see anyone calling them out for being westernised. People are just hating because they don't like the fact that a group like BTS are successful. BTS made it the top with just talent alone without the support of the Korean government and Koreans (from the beginning) Haters can hate but it won't change the fact that the hype BTS are getting is very well deserved. BTS have actually proved themselves and raised the bar rather high. I'm proud of them.
@@hanatop40 (WARNING: LONG RANT) u right! it IS double standards against bts AND army. for yrs! they just wanna hate on bts tryna drag em by saying they r westernised & that army beg for western validation etc but their favs release eng songs having no sales/streams/chartings/demand tryna enter the market by force & cater to the eng audience. + the discredits & downgrades of bts achievements every time. how laughable. a lot of em r hypocrites, salty, ignorant & in deep denial. kpop songs r often bought from western producers then put in K lyrics or were rejected eng songs by american pop artists. how u gon say bts is westernised when IDOL song & mv r hella infused with korean cultural elements, which im pretty sure non of the kpop idols has such a song. then theres IDOL mma 2018 performance, bts performed IDOL wearing hanbok in a UK tv show, wore korean made suits & rode korean brand hyundai palisade to grammys, where koreans complimented bts for it. etc. bts specifically said they wont release full eng songs. bts is doing the MOST for s.korea, but u see many kpop fans disrespecting/insulting em on daily basis. wth bruh. b4 bts got nominated for bbma 2017 kpop industry/fans/s.korea didnt care bout billboard/western success. K media didnt even report bout bts gettin the highest sales & chartings for a K act in america for 2015 & 2016. army got mocked for having big goals. bts got mocked by kpop fans for being nominated & some of em voted against bts tho was the only asian representative. kpop fans preach bout asian representatives only when its their favs. some supported the racism/xenophobia/prejudice/toxic masculinity against bts. bts is the one gettin the boyband/kpop insults head on cuz gp only knows bts tho they hella different from the rest of the kpop acts + boyband/kpop stereotypes dont apply to em. western media didnt care bout K entertainment/ kpop til bbma 2017. now theres even articles bout K award shows etc. K entertainment industry/ kpop wouldnt have gotten such an increase in exposure if it wasnt for bts. kpop idols wouldnt have gotten their american show invites etc so easily if it wasnt for bts. after psy gangnam style got viral in 2012 there was no K acts in the american music scene. its not that nobody wanted to get into US music industry, it cuz they COULDNT, not til bts made a crack for em to slide their way into it. b4 2017 student army/kpop fans got bullied for liking bts/kpop, those who r working got laughed at for liking bts/kpop. but it CHANGED after bts got big in america. ppl around em became more positive towards bts/kpop. i laugh every time i see non-american kpop fans tryna tell american army who paved the way. WHO U TRYNA CONVINCE. how u gon tell ppl livin there that other K acts paved the way when aint nobody but kpop fans know who they r (same as non-korean kpop fans sayin bts isnt popular in korea)? only psy & bts got gp recognition. definition for pave the way = ''make progress or development easier''. theres gotta be a difference in b4 & after. its not bout who went there 1st, its bout impact. so hell yeah bts paved the way. journalists & radio djs have said the same thing. theres also differences in K music industries after bts became big there. theres a rap show made to aim to top billboard using DJ Khaled's name. companies debuting kpop groups in america. companies tryna find out the ''formula'' for bts to become so popular/successful & have such a fandom. they revealed having a ''workforce'' to research bout the ''formula''. they admitted tryna use bts momentum in america to bring their own idols over there. kpop industry/fans have NEVER emphasised on lyrics/artistry b4, army r the ones that keep hyping bout bts lyrics/artistry & live singing. it was reported on news. then u can see how theres articles bout companies wanting their idols to write/produce, ''suddenly'' they promote positivity/ write meaningful lyrics & theres more live performances in award shows etc. (sorry for the essay. im just frustrated.)
8:08 yes Monroe is right. BTS were criticized for becoming “westernized” since 2017 when they got attention from bbmas and the media here in the US. BTS came out with IDOL to clap back at the haters and for this live performance they went all traditional theme. How stupid is it to say korean Artists singing in Korean that they are becoming “westernized” and losing their roots 🤦🏼♀️
if you go to a bts concert, whoever your bias is, you'll leave with Jhope either being your bias or bias wrecker cause he is SO charismatic. A total performer. He owns the whatever stage he's on. Even when it's not him singing/rapping, he makes these adlibs that really hype up the crowd and you can tell that he really LOVES performing.
It's amazing that Dizz pointed it out. J-Hope's performance skills are really on another level, and you won't realize it until you see them performing live. His charisma is on a whole new level. Glad that it was pointed out💜💜
Samgomu (three drum dance). Pungmul (village dance). Buchaechum (fan dance). Sajanoreum (lion dance). I mean, I grew up with that stuff, and it's so awesome to see centuries-old Korean traditions in such a modern context. And BTS are not alone: For instance, Mamamoo performed with a Pansori (traditional Korean opera) singer on Immortal Song. Shoutout to today's kids for representing Korean culture. Also, you can see how synchronised/acrobatic dancing and drum rhythms have been a part of Korean culture for AGES, which is probably why we're so good at it today.
I love this performance so much. I think we all agree its the best perfo of Idol.. 3 J's dance at the beginning was amazing😍 jimin even got awarded later on for his fan dance / anyways i love this because they seemed extra confident and powerful here aaahh they're amazing on stage
As someone who followed their tours all around the world. I must say, Jimin stood out to me the most. He is a stage GOD, there's no other way to describe it. Everything he does is art. I will never forget the moment when someone not far from where I was screamed "Jimin is God". I don't blame her, Jimin was just standing right in front of us and my goodness he just exudes sooo sooo much power and charm. He is not cute at all, in fact he is intimidatingly, devastatingly handsome. And he's the most graceful and versatile..
I think in general J-hope is the best on stage. He has so much swag and charisma and it shows everytime. He legit owns the stage! I always thought that but I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed!
I'm going on May 11th in Chicago. It'll be extra fun... I'm meeting up with a group of other MOM ARMYs. We're doing Karaoke after the concert and other fun stuff. 💜♾
Its still so funny to me that Kpop fans love calling bts “westernized” when they’re one of the few groups who refuses to release songs fully in English, implement Asian/Korean instruments in their songs (ie Ddaeng), and promote KOREA beyond music.. even bringing in over 4B won to the countries economy - they also performed for free at the presidents request during an international visit to France.. not to mention all the charity work they’ve done in their own hometowns. Bts are far from being the sellouts ppl criticize them of being, if anything.. they’ve brought Korea and its music to the masses and changed the western mindset for what we look for in music. True role models.
Hoseok is THE performer. Many people are surprised watching him live, because in MVs he doesn't stand out that much, his screen time is usually one of the least and he's rarely in the center . But live is entire different matter, he has huge charisma, confidence and outstanding dancing skills- awesome in choreo but also when free styling. Plus he can rap and sing and he's incredible stable live.
Zai bo I took my non fan cousin to the love yourself tour in Seoul movie and she said that Hobi was the one who caught her attention and she kept complementing him. Hobi's aura and charisma on stage is unreal he's such a good performer honestly
I will NEVER forgive the cameraman for that misstep. The boys were on cue every step of the way and he droPPED. The. Ball. Ugh. Still legendary. The full thing was 20 minutes long & they performed Fake Love live before this so I love that they kept that energy all the way through. Also! I love that you called out j-hopes charisma!! That's one thing I've noticed from concert reviews & live shows & performances is that he just stands out. They are all powerful on stage but he constantly comes out of left field and surprises the crowd. That boy was made for the stage. His ad libs, his freestyle dance moves, just his aura. It's undeniable. I recommend watching the Anpanman performance at MAMA Japan!! It's one of their more 'casual' stages. Like they really are just having fun and owning the stage and he kills it there too. Also love that they redid the choreo to play to a circular stage. They think of everything. Legends.
Did you all know? that stage are the most legend performance on the history of MMA... That version of IDOL was the most requested by ARMY. They really love their haters, even BTS make a special songs for them like Cypher series and Mic Drop and they do what the haters have been criticized. BTS was getting criticized for their music was being westernized and they have a Comeback with a song that showing off Korean culture, Korean traditional instrument, and Korean traditional clothes named Hanbok. Why do people always hate them? why they hate someone who looks like an angels. BTS has even save some people life. BTS had help some people who was struggling with their own problem, Even though that BTS who need help for real. BTS are seven angels who live in Earth
Monroe was some what right, the song idol as a whole was made to rebuttal the haters saying that they are westerned. that's why they wore traditional korean clothes in this preformance and mv
I absolutely loved this performance. It’s one of their best performances in my opinion. The music is difference because they used traditional instruments to create the Idol instrumental. I love how they broadcasted their culture to not only people of the same culture but also to the rest of the world. It was also beautiful seeing them wearing traditionally inspired clothing and doing traditional dances, some of which were more “feminine”. This was amazing. They really outdid themselves. Hearing the original song Idol, I never felt it was westernized because the instrumental to Idol is actually a South African trap beat mixed in with Korean instruments so I’m not sure what was “western” about that lmao. People are just haters.
React to BTS - Spring Day BTS - The Truth Untold TXT - Crown (They are same agency of BTS ! ) / New boygrup of Bighit Entertainment. PLEASE I REALLY WAITING IN HERE. HUHU HUHU HUHU :'( :'( :'(
Yep girl u r right thsy were getting criticized but thats why idol has so many korean references but u guys should wstch the first half of this called wbo are you because they actually did 3 other songs b4 this they did love yourself( just dancing) then fake love and then airplane pt 2 with a vcr in between fake love was epically good so dramatic
This Idol MMA performance was summed-up perfectly by Monroe, "Super Iconic"! Just like Zak said, this was a homage to the Korean culture & heritage! It made lots of non-Koreans fascinated by and intrigued about Korean culture! Khadija and Dizz were spot on about the mis-directed part of the camera.. if not this production on camera would've been perfect! I don't know why I cried watching.. but I was kinda proud you guys reacted to this incredible and spectacular BTS performance!!
The change of music is just for this presentation to be in line with the intro as making homage to their roots, but on their other performances its just the old ones
in general its homage to their heritage. EVERY LIVE PERFORMANCE THEY PERFORM has always had a mixed version play in order to match the performance. in this case it had to be better than idol and the whole thing was
The way you do pay attention to details and appreciate the hard effort BTS and their team put into their performances, you're amazing. I also know you're big fans of "Blood, Sweat & Tears" so you should definitely react to their "2016 MAMA" live performance. To me, that one's just on a whole new level. Love u guys. Send u lots of love from Peru. 💜
You should watch the full performance, they performed Fake Love, Airplane pt 2 and Idol, and it was their most iconic live performance, stage of the year. They spent almost usd 300k for this performance, they're just omg!!!
Holy shit, I did NOT expect you guys to react to the live performance of IDOL mma 2018! What an absolute pleasant surprise, love you reaction! And yes, the track is a bit different in this performance! I think they made the track sound similar to the IDOL teaser, rather than the original song (which have two completely different sounds lol). And I agree it was a shame about the slight technical hiccup in the beginning sequence :/ It would've been so satisfying to see the jk's part fit together with the beginning, but oh well. Anyways, love your guys' reaction!! A bit unrelated btw, but Monroe's hair colour is so pretty like wow!!
to Zak: it is called a _bukchung saja_ basically a kind of mythological lion (as lions were never endemic in Asia) that brings good luck & fortune and heralders of spring
I've been fortunate enough to see the boys twice in my life, and your description of them, ESPECIALLY J-hope, is on point. I cannot tell you how strong they are on stage, and J-hope specifically has a kind of presence that absolutely demands your attention. His charisma and the way he owns any performance he gives absolutely takes my breath away every single time.
You noticed that the music was different, it was. They chose to use traditional Korean instruments for the performance. You REALLY need to react to Fake Love that they performed at the beginning of this 20 MINUTE performance (Idol was the last of 3 songsj) at the 2018 MMAs. The beginning is just as epic as this . I really appreciate all of your observations. From the missed cue with Jungkook, to their awareness of the cameras (thanks BBMAs for the worst camera work EVER). The reference to them being too "westernized" really comes from fanbases of rival Kpop groups. I don't believe I've read anywhere that any critic, music writer or the like has ever made that statement. Again, really enjoy your reactions.
BTS after become the famous BTS, they really don’t need to go hard in every shows they performed, but still they go beyond my expectations... they never let ppl who go see them live down! I mean they never consider the money they are offered to determine their performances!
Thank you for highlighting their performance quality. It's a bigger factor in their global fame than I believe people realize. BTS' level of showmanship is not a given with artists anymore. Even when the song isn't your taste, they still make you feel something. I can't say enough about that.
I'm not sure if you guys are aware but this is the 3rd song of the live performance. They opened with an amazing intro into Fake Love and went into Airplane pt. 2. You should really react to the other two. The Fake Love opening is amazing!
they did get criticized but the reason they did this was because they were already planning on making their performance more Korean culture based, and decided to bring in more Korean instruments and outfits to make it more memorable and dramatic. idol is already a more “traditional” song compared to their other big songs, so they intended on doing it this way even before being criticized. unfortunately a lot of big groups forget their roots and are becoming more westernize and adding English words, but BTS always stays humble and doesn’t forget where they’re from!! I love your reactions very much, Sending love from Korea 💓
I feel like ya'll would reeeeaally love BTS' b-side tracks. Especially some of the older soulful ones. A couple good ones you might like are: Autumn Leaves (also known as Dead Leaves in some translations), Paradise, Pied Piper, and House of Cards. I know you guys preferably like to watch music videos, but I think it'd be really cool if maybe you started reacting to some lyric vids too since you're missing out on sooo many good songs. Best song to start with out of the four would be Dead leaves imo since I'm biased and it's my favorite BTS song lmao. Hope you guys are having a lovely day wherever you are, *all around the world~* lol.
You were right that it was the traditional version of the song because they threw it in the face of those who told them they were westernized. Btw I don't know why I comment on the fashion every time but I am LOVING these color-coordinated outfits. Red looks amazing on y'all. :)
You should watch the rest of the MMA performance! The complete performance that includes an intro, Fake Love, Airplane pt 2, and this! :D i love your reactions!
Just to mention about beginning, those blue and red flame presents Ying and Yang twirling Universe which is center symbol of Korean national flag. If you want to know detail, please check "MMA Idol explained"
I've watching ur reations and I love u guyss!! If this performance blew you off then u better see their MMA 2019 performance issa whole 37 mins. They came to an award show making it look like their freakin concert
generally speaking: this was my second year watching those end-of-year award shows like MAMA and MME, and i highly recommend you to watch them too. not necessarily the whole show( because 1. the language although you get more or less live translation on vlive, 2. quality is not hd most of the time and 3. the stream sometimes dies and you have to reload the page and what not #thestruggleisreal ) but the bands you like. the production level is insame and bands like bts get enormous stage time plus they're whole performance is like a movie. like a literal experience. the performance: WHEN NATIONS NO1 DANCER APPEARED I SAW YOUR FACES LIGHT UP!!!! the intro was amazaing. like, from start to finish absolutely well executed. the timing, the stage, the choreo and the editing (except the jungkook part). i also loved their outfits for that performance. they went well with the more traditional sounding music. if i'm not mistaken, the instruments were actually played live, which was amazing! it's not my favourite version of the song, because i generally prefer a stronger beat. if i'm not mistaken, during the last chorus, the stage lifted and the production originally went like "nah, listen, the stage is not made for something like this and it would be better and safer if we keep the stage down" but bts said "no, fuck that, we're doing it with a lifted stage" 🤷🏻♀️🤣
They remind me so much of Big Bang. This is their era. Enjoy the ride boys and represent kpop. Wish you would introduce more other kpop artist by doing featuring them as well.
They performed 2 more songs just before this song, fake love and airplane part 2. If not check out those two stages from MMA 2018. Just like idol those two are epic.
Though people do say BTS are too westernized (nonsense), Idol already had korean traditional visuals in the mv. The people complaining have nothing to do with BTS doing this. The more traditional sound in the stage version of the song were also in the teaser for the mv.
Thank you soooo much for this reaction! ❤️❤️❤️ You guys should check out the Monsta X MAMA Japan 2017 and 2018 performances too! Lots of love from Brazil! ;)
Have u reacted to their KBS Music awards yet? Each of them performing their solo song there and it was amazing! A lot of new fans were amazed and joining army because of that video too lol :)

BTS was getting criticized for making their music “westernized”, so they decided to clap back and go to back to their roots
The crazy part is, when Kpop originally sprung up in like the 90s, it developed out of western influences.
Tori Haley very true! I think this generation of KPOP has sorta strayed from that and put their own twist on KPOP
Dazed and Confused exactly even now....kpop is still very western in a way. They [mainstream ones] tend to still pull from western pop, Rnb, rap, and hip hop as an influence.

Samgomu (three drum dance). Pungmul (village dance). Buchaechum (fan dance). Sajanoreum (lion dance). I mean, I grew up with that stuff, and it's so awesome to see centuries-old Korean traditions in such a modern context. And BTS are not alone: For instance, Mamamoo performed with a Pansori (traditional Korean opera) singer on Immortal Song. Shoutout to today's kids for representing Korean culture.
Also, you can see how synchronised/acrobatic dancing and drum rhythms have been a part of Korean culture for AGES, which is probably why we're so good at it today.
"I would pay money to be the man inside of that thing"
Same Zak. Same 😂
I'm still laughing at her reaction to Jimins smirk at 6:57
They are indeed legends... please react to BTS Persona comeback trailer you gonna love it
I really love Monroe's face when she looks at Jiminie 💕😆.
Same Monroe ... Same .... 😂😍.
Lol I stopped watching the return of superman for this 😂😂
I was watching the King of Masked singers
Ohhh really what episode now Im missing it cuz exercise with my dad
@@빈젠조 I was watching the new one on Viki
@@debbiewilliams1138 Naeun Siannnnnn
I stopped watching k-drama touch your heart for this 😅😅
I love this performance so much. I think we all agree its the best perfo of Idol.. 3 J's dance at the beginning was amazing😍 jimin even got awarded later on for his fan dance / anyways i love this because they seemed extra confident and powerful here aaahh they're amazing on stage
As someone who followed their tours all around the world. I must say, Jimin stood out to me the most. He is a stage GOD, there's no other way to describe it. Everything he does is art. I will never forget the moment when someone not far from where I was screamed "Jimin is God". I don't blame her, Jimin was just standing right in front of us and my goodness he just exudes sooo sooo much power and charm. He is not cute at all, in fact he is intimidatingly, devastatingly handsome. And he's the most graceful and versatile..
Jimin is just mesmerizing
Jimin? IKR?! So seductive all the time. I love your reaction! Thank you! Please react to more live performance of BTS.
MMA is always a great event to watch💓
This is not mama lol. It's MMA melon music awards
@@bishaldatta7455 i know- i just realized that i wrote mama instead of mma
I think in general J-hope is the best on stage. He has so much swag and charisma and it shows everytime. He legit owns the stage! I always thought that but I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed!
You guys should react to mama fake love and mma japan live performance. I would love it if you reacted to it.
You. Will. LOVE. It!😲💜♾
Jimin actually recieved an awards for his amazing traditional fan dance dance from this performance.
The song & video itself shows off Korean culture the version they performed to is the instrumental version from the teaser.
Monroe's squeal when she saw Jimin is a whole mood
I'm taking my daughter to see them in New Jersey May 19th!! I'm as excited as she is!! Stadium capacity of over 82,000. Its going to be EPIC!!
I'm going on May 11th in Chicago. It'll be extra fun... I'm meeting up with a group of other MOM ARMYs. We're doing Karaoke after the concert and other fun stuff. 💜♾
@@MTetzke that sounds like a lot of fun!! Lol
Im going that day too OMG Have fun
I’m going to be there too 🤗🤗🤗
On May 11th?
You guys have to do their Fake Love performance that they did before Idol too. Their 2018 MMA performance from beginning to end was phenomenal.
react BTS the truth untold please 💜😊
Up!💜♾
Saja Raji yesssss
Saja Raji Pleeasseee!
Yesss
plzzz제발!!
Its still so funny to me that Kpop fans love calling bts “westernized” when they’re one of the few groups who refuses to release songs fully in English, implement Asian/Korean instruments in their songs (ie Ddaeng), and promote KOREA beyond music.. even bringing in over 4B won to the countries economy - they also performed for free at the presidents request during an international visit to France.. not to mention all the charity work they’ve done in their own hometowns. Bts are far from being the sellouts ppl criticize them of being, if anything.. they’ve brought Korea and its music to the masses and changed the western mindset for what we look for in music. True role models.
It’s interesting that you mention J Hope, because everybody says if you go to a BTS concert, you’ll leave with J Hope as your bias 😂
omgg thats so true!!
Hoseok is THE performer. Many people are surprised watching him live, because in MVs he doesn't stand out that much, his screen time is usually one of the least and he's rarely in the center . But live is entire different matter, he has huge charisma, confidence and outstanding dancing skills- awesome in choreo but also when free styling. Plus he can rap and sing and he's incredible stable live.
bapsae says it all
Zai bo I took my non fan cousin to the love yourself tour in Seoul movie and she said that Hobi was the one who caught her attention and she kept complementing him. Hobi's aura and charisma on stage is unreal he's such a good performer honestly
Diyxlx it’s so true! I’m taking my friend to speak yourself tour and I know she’s gonna fall in love with hobi 😭
I will NEVER forgive the cameraman for that misstep. The boys were on cue every step of the way and he droPPED. The. Ball. Ugh. Still legendary. The full thing was 20 minutes long & they performed Fake Love live before this so I love that they kept that energy all the way through.
Also! I love that you called out j-hopes charisma!! That's one thing I've noticed from concert reviews & live shows & performances is that he just stands out. They are all powerful on stage but he constantly comes out of left field and surprises the crowd. That boy was made for the stage. His ad libs, his freestyle dance moves, just his aura. It's undeniable. I recommend watching the Anpanman performance at MAMA Japan!! It's one of their more 'casual' stages. Like they really are just having fun and owning the stage and he kills it there too. Also love that they redid the choreo to play to a circular stage. They think of everything. Legends.
Yess finally. I wanted this so bad! Thanks for reacting to this.
Monroe looks so beautiful. I wanna marry you. ♥️
Did you all know? that stage are the most legend performance on the history of MMA... That version of IDOL was the most requested by ARMY.
They really love their haters, even BTS make a special songs for them like Cypher series and Mic Drop and they do what the haters have been criticized. BTS was getting criticized for their music was being westernized and they have a Comeback with a song that showing off Korean culture, Korean traditional instrument, and Korean traditional clothes named Hanbok.
Why do people always hate them? why they hate someone who looks like an angels. BTS has even save some people life. BTS had help some people who was struggling with their own problem, Even though that BTS who need help for real.
BTS are seven angels who live in Earth
I really love monroe reaction. Agreed with ur opinion monroe, btw i love ur voice also. Please react more live reaction By BTS💜
Monroe was some what right, the song idol as a whole was made to rebuttal the haters saying that they are westerned. that's why they wore traditional korean clothes in this preformance and mv
Yayy thanks for reacting to the idol part but can they please also react to the beginning of the performance (the FAKE LOVE part) 💜
I absolutely loved this performance. It’s one of their best performances in my opinion. The music is difference because they used traditional instruments to create the Idol instrumental. I love how they broadcasted their culture to not only people of the same culture but also to the rest of the world. It was also beautiful seeing them wearing traditionally inspired clothing and doing traditional dances, some of which were more “feminine”. This was amazing. They really outdid themselves.
Hearing the original song Idol, I never felt it was westernized because the instrumental to Idol is actually a South African trap beat mixed in with Korean instruments so I’m not sure what was “western” about that lmao. People are just haters.

موريبوري سوسا but i love it
Yep girl u r right thsy were getting criticized but thats why idol has so many korean references but u guys should wstch the first half of this called wbo are you because they actually did 3 other songs b4 this they did love yourself( just dancing) then fake love and then airplane pt 2 with a vcr in between fake love was epically good so dramatic
This Idol MMA performance was summed-up perfectly by Monroe, "Super Iconic"!
Just like Zak said, this was a homage to the Korean culture & heritage! It made lots of non-Koreans fascinated by and intrigued about Korean culture!
Khadija and Dizz were spot on about the mis-directed part of the camera.. if not this production on camera would've been perfect!
I don't know why I cried watching.. but I was kinda proud you guys reacted to this incredible and spectacular BTS performance!!
The change of music is just for this presentation to be in line with the intro as making homage to their roots, but on their other performances its just the old ones
in general its homage to their heritage. EVERY LIVE PERFORMANCE THEY PERFORM has always had a mixed version play in order to match the performance. in this case it had to be better than idol and the whole thing was
The way you do pay attention to details and appreciate the hard effort BTS and their team put into their performances, you're amazing. I also know you're big fans of "Blood, Sweat & Tears" so you should definitely react to their "2016 MAMA" live performance. To me, that one's just on a whole new level. Love u guys. Send u lots of love from Peru. 💜
The whole performance was amazing you should've reacted to all of it. And btw I love how you match your clothes 💜✌️
6:55 JIMIN~~~~😏☺️
Im here for Monroe and zaks reactions to jimin
PLEASE react to BTS in MMAs 2019 and 2020 both are such amazing performances, i'm still shocked by them 💜
You Should react to their Fake love performance and anpanman during the MAMA😭😭😭😭
You should watch the full performance, they performed Fake Love, Airplane pt 2 and Idol, and it was their most iconic live performance, stage of the year. They spent almost usd 300k for this performance, they're just omg!!!
Holy shit, I did NOT expect you guys to react to the live performance of IDOL mma 2018! What an absolute pleasant surprise, love you reaction! And yes, the track is a bit different in this performance! I think they made the track sound similar to the IDOL teaser, rather than the original song (which have two completely different sounds lol). And I agree it was a shame about the slight technical hiccup in the beginning sequence :/ It would've been so satisfying to see the jk's part fit together with the beginning, but oh well. Anyways, love your guys' reaction!! A bit unrelated btw, but Monroe's hair colour is so pretty like wow!!
to Zak: it is called a _bukchung saja_ basically a kind of mythological lion (as lions were never endemic in Asia) that brings good luck & fortune and heralders of spring
react to (G)I-DLE - senorita, hann PLEASE
I've been fortunate enough to see the boys twice in my life, and your description of them, ESPECIALLY J-hope, is on point. I cannot tell you how strong they are on stage, and J-hope specifically has a kind of presence that absolutely demands your attention. His charisma and the way he owns any performance he gives absolutely takes my breath away every single time.
Omg, i was in class, and asked to be excused to the bathroom to watch this😭😂. I loved the fact you guys reacted to this! 💛
You noticed that the music was different, it was. They chose to use traditional Korean instruments for the performance. You REALLY need to react to Fake Love that they performed at the beginning of this 20 MINUTE performance (Idol was the last of 3 songsj) at the 2018 MMAs. The beginning is just as epic as this .
I really appreciate all of your observations. From the missed cue with Jungkook, to their awareness of the cameras (thanks BBMAs for the worst camera work EVER). The reference to them being too "westernized" really comes from fanbases of rival Kpop groups. I don't believe I've read anywhere that any critic, music writer or the like has ever made that statement. Again, really enjoy your reactions.
u guys should react to the rest of bts performance in MMA 2018
BTS after become the famous BTS, they really don’t need to go hard in every shows they performed, but still they go beyond my expectations... they never let ppl who go see them live down! I mean they never consider the money they are offered to determine their performances!
I always get excited when I get a notification from you guys I love the intro song have me singing it out loud !!😩😩😩😩💜💜💜💜
SAME!💜♾
Lol i see u almost everywhere
Thank you for highlighting their performance quality. It's a bigger factor in their global fame than I believe people realize. BTS' level of showmanship is not a given with artists anymore. Even when the song isn't your taste, they still make you feel something. I can't say enough about that.
Persona by BTS or Focus on Me performance video by Got7 pleaseee
I'm not sure if you guys are aware but this is the 3rd song of the live performance. They opened with an amazing intro into Fake Love and went into Airplane pt. 2. You should really react to the other two. The Fake Love opening is amazing!
I wish u guys react to jimins filter
The song sounded a bit different because they used Korean instruments in the background. This is the most epic song intro I have ever seen.
would be wonderful to see you guys react to BTS "Airplane pt. 2"
they did get criticized but the reason they did this was because they were already planning on making their performance more Korean culture based, and decided to bring in more Korean instruments and outfits to make it more memorable and dramatic. idol is already a more “traditional” song compared to their other big songs, so they intended on doing it this way even before being criticized. unfortunately a lot of big groups forget their roots and are becoming more westernize and adding English words, but BTS always stays humble and doesn’t forget where they’re from!!
I love your reactions very much, Sending love from Korea 💓
love the gasps everytime it was jimin's time !!! exactly how i feel everytime too XD
Love it how they combine the traditional music of korea to this song
I feel like ya'll would reeeeaally love BTS' b-side tracks. Especially some of the older soulful ones.
A couple good ones you might like are: Autumn Leaves (also known as Dead Leaves in some translations), Paradise, Pied Piper, and House of Cards. I know you guys preferably like to watch music videos, but I think it'd be really cool if maybe you started reacting to some lyric vids too since you're missing out on sooo many good songs.
Best song to start with out of the four would be Dead leaves imo since I'm biased and it's my favorite BTS song lmao. Hope you guys are having a lovely day wherever you are, *all around the world~* lol.
Jenna Kochanski yea and the truth untold because it’s vocal based. Plus their lyrics are amazing
You were right that it was the traditional version of the song because they threw it in the face of those who told them they were westernized. Btw I don't know why I comment on the fashion every time but I am LOVING these color-coordinated outfits. Red looks amazing on y'all. :)
PLEASE REACT TO THE PERFECT MAN PERFORMANCE BY BTS u r gonna love it
You should watch the rest of the MMA performance! The complete performance that includes an intro, Fake Love, Airplane pt 2, and this! :D i love your reactions!
I was so sooooo glad that you appreciate Jhope in this performance. His presence is really no joke 👌👍
This is my fav version for idol! This is what bts really means! BORN TO SLAY!
Just to mention about beginning, those blue and red flame presents Ying and Yang twirling Universe which is center symbol of Korean national flag. If you want to know detail, please check "MMA Idol explained"
I've watching ur reations and I love u guyss!! If this performance blew you off then u better see their MMA 2019 performance issa whole 37 mins. They came to an award show making it look like their freakin concert
I've never clicked so fast!! Btw I love the new intro! You guys are really talented💜
generally speaking: this was my second year watching those end-of-year award shows like MAMA and MME, and i highly recommend you to watch them too. not necessarily the whole show( because 1. the language although you get more or less live translation on vlive, 2. quality is not hd most of the time and 3. the stream sometimes dies and you have to reload the page and what not #thestruggleisreal ) but the bands you like. the production level is insame and bands like bts get enormous stage time plus they're whole performance is like a movie. like a literal experience.
the performance: WHEN NATIONS NO1 DANCER APPEARED I SAW YOUR FACES LIGHT UP!!!! the intro was amazaing. like, from start to finish absolutely well executed. the timing, the stage, the choreo and the editing (except the jungkook part). i also loved their outfits for that performance. they went well with the more traditional sounding music. if i'm not mistaken, the instruments were actually played live, which was amazing!
it's not my favourite version of the song, because i generally prefer a stronger beat.
if i'm not mistaken, during the last chorus, the stage lifted and the production originally went like "nah, listen, the stage is not made for something like this and it would be better and safer if we keep the stage down" but bts said "no, fuck that, we're doing it with a lifted stage" 🤷🏻♀️🤣
Omg! i love their Melon Music Award live perf. It's topnotch. Thanks for reacting.
They remind me so much of Big Bang. This is their era. Enjoy the ride boys and represent kpop. Wish you would introduce more other kpop artist by doing featuring them as well.
Please react to the live performance of BTS born singer, 2! 3, butterfly, magic shop
Their all concepts are like a magic that's why unbelievable 💜
Jimin, won an award for his Fan Dance performance.
They performed 2 more songs just before this song, fake love and airplane part 2. If not check out those two stages from MMA 2018. Just like idol those two are epic.
4:08 I still can't believe that is actually J-hope's voice.
Tbh, when I first saw this performance, I was crying because of the beauty of Korean traditions. It was speaking to my soul.
I 👏FREAKING 👏LOVE 👏YOUR 👏CHANNEL 👏
(could you guys react to mamamoo egotistic and who are bts à guide to the seven members ?)
YESSSSS!💜♾
Finally omg I was waiting for this , please react more of their performance , they actually are so good at live
Yes! I also look forward to your reactions. Please react to BTS comeback MV Taehyung Singularity. ❤
Though people do say BTS are too westernized (nonsense), Idol already had korean traditional visuals in the mv. The people complaining have nothing to do with BTS doing this. The more traditional sound in the stage version of the song were also in the teaser for the mv.
Thank you soooo much for this reaction! ❤️❤️❤️ You guys should check out the Monsta X MAMA Japan 2017 and 2018 performances too! Lots of love from Brazil! ;)
The entire MMA performance is amazing! You all should check it out when you get a chance.
Yessss i never pressed so fast to start a video.😍😍😍
My man jimin kills us all over again!😣😍😘💘
How can a person be so perfect ?!❤❤❤
Have u reacted to their KBS Music awards yet? Each of them performing their solo song there and it was amazing! A lot of new fans were amazed and joining army because of that video too lol :)
Please react to BTS;Map of the soul:Persona trailer
