The UCLA marching band is behind the band instrumental. This choreography is one of their hardest and the camera work is insane...absolutely love the song💜
Definitely, I think so too that this choreography is one of their hardest. And I love the blending of the sound of the marching band and the gospel choir.
@@reddieweeb 🤗🤣🎶 Nah.. You're Just Singing in Korean like the rest of Us.. 🤗 I find Myself 🎶 Humming or Singing random BTS Songs out of the Blue during the Day! *Stay Safe & 🙏 Healthy! *Watching from New⚘Jersey, USA 😎
According to BTS this is their hardest choreo. I interpret it as the most physically demanding to execute. Not necessarily the most difficult to learn. There are other more complicated choreos.
They actually performed this song live in Grand Central Terminal on the Jimmy Fallon show, so impressive! Also Jin, who looked like he was wearing a denim jacket, was actually wearing a black leather jacket but they thought there was too much black so they spray painted the front of it white lol I enjoy these reactions guys-keep going! Also, recommendations: ‘Home’ and ‘Mikrokosmos’ performed in the Jimmy Fallon show, ‘Airplane Pt. 2’ and ‘Fake Love’ MV’s, and the ‘Baepsae’ dance practice followed by an explanation video (I like the one by DKDKTV). Enjoy the rabbit hole!
Yeah the Jimmy live in Grand Central terminal NY is pure fire but be careful doing a react and try not to get a copyright strike(change video a little or do pauses) since it's hosted on a official US channel instead of the official bighit/hybe channel.
Using closed captions is always a must for BTS MVs. This song is off Map of the Soul 7 which uses Swiss psychologist Carl Jungs ideas about Persona, Shadow, and Ego. On it each rapper did a solo song on the album each delving into one of those topics: RM had a really thoughtful view to kick it off in a high energy Persona, Suga had a very personal darker and intense introspection on his Shadow, and JHope had an extremely dance upbeat Ego. The three songs are linked lyrically with some questions they ask in one answered in another. Getting to “On” this song also refers to the Shadow (and V had the words written on his face “the shadow within”) and is a motivational song about getting through struggles “…With each step then again grows the shadow…. Look at my feet, look down, The shadow resembles me, Is it the shadow that's shaking, Or is it my feet that are trembling, Of course I'm not unafraid, Of course it's not all okay”. This has some fantastic lyrics about BTS’s own struggles and how they are not giving up “bring the pain on” and they discuss how the struggles are incorporated into them and what makes us each who we are. Musically it’s a huge high energy song with some of the most exhausting choreography around, lyrically it’s another deep one that has helped myself and many many others get through tough times. “Jimin and V: I can't understand what people are sayin' Who and what do I need to follow With each step then again grows the shadow Where is this place I open my eyes to Maybe Seoul or New York or Paris I get up, unsteady on my feet RM: Look at my feet, look down The shadow resembles me Is it the shadow that's shaking Or is it my feet that are trembling Of course I'm not unafraid Of course it's not all okay But I know Awkwardly I flow I fly together with that black wind Jimin, Jungkook, and Jin: Hey na-na-na Gotta go insane to stay sane Hey na-na-na Throw myself whole into both worlds Hey na-na-na Can't hold me down 'cuz you know I'm a fighter Carried myself into this beautiful prison Find me and I'm gonna live with ya All BTS: Eh-Oh Bring it, bring the pain, oh yeah Eh-Oh Come on up, bring the pain, oh yeah Rain be pourin' Sky keep fallin' Everyday oh na-na-na Eh-Oh Bring it, bring the pain, oh yeah J- Hope: Bring the pain It'll become my blood and flesh Bring the pain No fear, now that I know the way Breathe on the small things My air and my light in the dark The power of the things that make me, "me" Even if I fall, I come right up, scream Suga: Even if I fall, I come right up, scream That's how we've always been Even if my knees drop to the ground As long as they don't get buried It won't matter Win no matter what Whatever you say, whatever they say I don't give a uhh I don't give a uhh I don't give a uhh, yeah Chorus Jungkook and Jimin: Where my pain lies Let me take a breath My everythin' My blood and tears Got no fears I'm singin' ohhhhh Oh I'm takin' over You should know yeah Can't hold me down 'cuz you know I'm a fighter Choosing to descend into the dark abyss Find me and I'm gonna bleed with ya Chorus Eh-Oh Bring it, bring the pain, oh yeah Eh-Oh Come on up, bring the pain, oh yeah All that I know Is just goin' on & on & on & on Eh-Oh Bring it, bring the pain, oh yeah
In "Black Swan" they crashed with the shadow and explored it. At the beginning of "On" they are bruised from the encounter but they also know what to do now. So they begin to face the "shadow"/the uncounscious/ the fear of losing their passion. The dance break is that fight that this time they win and succeed in their task to become more whole. Which is the end of the journey of discovery of self. "Bring the pain on" because meeting the shadow hurts/frightens but you can't run. It is part of us. If we run it will surpise us when we least expect it: what do you think a "midlife crisis" is? But searching out hurt when you seemingly don't need to is "insane". If you don't do it though you won't stay "sane" with the crisis following. In other words do it on your own terms before you are forced to and it hits you harder. At least that is my impression. Borahae! 💜
I recommend "On Commentary Film" as someone who really appreciates how music is made, that's a good perspective on how this song was produced. It's a 18 min documentary made by BTS's label.
Absolutely! I thought the choir sounded like some angels in heaven, and after watching the doku I said to myself of course! Who could better incorporate this feeling than some good ol Gospel choir, like they are simply unmatched in this. Also seeing how they record it, all the instruments and stuff, loved it.
@3:30 when the break happens and they’re all lined up before the solo, they are actually lined up from oldest to youngest in the group: Jin- oldest who turns 29 yrs old tomorrow (12/4/21). Company wanted him for his looks and pretty much trained him to be a singer and dancer, I think starting at age 21. His nickname is World Wide Handsome- if you’re curious there are videos out there that explains it. He’s also the comedian in the group. Suga- his name comes from his position as shooting guard when he played basketball in school. He only wanted to rap and produce music. He didn’t want to dance and the company “tricked” him to get on board telling him he didn’t have to dance. J-Hope- the lead dancer for the group. He helps the team learn their choreo. He almost quit the group and HE LOVES SPRITE! Lol. RM- leader of the group and the first to be signed up for the group. Super smart guy. Jimin- his background is contemporary dance and the last to join the group. He has a special talent known as the Jimin Effect 🤣. He has the high pitch voice when singing. Plus his more feminine face and certain hairstyles, a lot of reactors confuse him to be a woman at first. V- sings baritone and has a very soulful sound. You have to check out his solo: Singularity. He also does acting. He coined a word special to fans/ARMY- borahae which means I 💜 you. Bora is purple in Korean. Jungkook- pure talent. He is good at EVERYTHING. He’s the youngest, the main vocalist, and one of the 3 main dancers (ie, always front and center). He used to also rap in their early years. He was sought out by multiple agencies, but he chose Big Hit because he saw RM, like him and wanted to be with him. He’s RM’s biggest fan 😁. ARMY is the name of the BTS fandom which stands for Adorable Representative M.c. for Youth.
Great info, but a small correction - Jin was 18 when he was picked up by Big Hit (it was mid-2011). He always says he was 20/21, but he is talking in Korean age not international age.
They all write songs, but RM and Suga write a lot of the group’s lyrics. Most things that come out of RM’s mouth are poetic. He has the second most song credits of anyone on the Korean charts (almost 200), and he is still very young. Like many of them, there is a duality to him - he is a fierce rapper, but he loves nature, modern art, reading, crabs. He is very emotionally intelligent, takes good care of the group, and was a big part of setting the tone that BTS works together rather than competes with one another, which is part of why they work together so well and have stayed together so long. BTS is often compared to the Beatles, and the fame and other pressures drove the rakes apart in only 4 years or so. All the members are crazy charismatic on stage, and they are all super sweet guys who genuinely care about each other and their fans.
Such stellar info! This may have already been covered along the way but I think it’s notable that group leader RM (given name is Namjoon) is the only member who was fluent in English since day 1. He’s self-taught and tells the story that he learned from watching the series Friends on DVD as a kid. The other members are learning the language and appear to understand a lot, but regularly express appreciation to RM for carrying the water that enabled them to do media interviews and appearances in English speaking countries. After spending several weeks in LA recently for the AMAs, four sold out concerts, and other activity RM essentially said during a livestream that he’s looking forward to going home to Korea so he can give his mind rest and only have to speak one language.
Hello! Just found this channel yesterday and have enjoyed all your reactions up until now. I think you guys are doing a fair job in trying out different sounds like Dionysus, Mic Drop and Black Swan as well as their English Trilogy which has a more pop sound and the deeper cuts of some rap line tracks like UGH and Ddaeng. I have some recommendations if you want to explore their diverse range: - Spring Day (about a national tragedy), Life Goes On (about the onset of COVID), Blue and Grey: ballads - Cyphers pt 1-4, Outro: Tear : rap line songs (amazing flows and beats) - House of Cards, The Truth Untold: vocal line songs (slower, darker tracks) - Airplane pt 2 (Latin-infused sound) (be careful of copyright), Dis-ease (throwback hip-hop) - Fake Love (the original has a music video but I would also recommend the Rocking Vibe mix keeping in mind your tastes) as well as Danger (an older more rock-sound-inspired track) - Paradise, Tomorrow, Magic Shop, Answer: Love Myself (deep messages of comfort) -Go Go, Silver Spoon, Spine Breaker, No More Dream, N.O. (talking about society and it's problems) Diving into each members solo tracks I would recommend two each so you can see the different styles they try: - RM: (Persona) (tokyo) - Jin: (Epiphany) (Abyss) - SUGA: (Daechwita) (The Last) - j-hope: (Airplane) (Blue Side) - Jimin: (Lie) (Promise) - V: (Singularity) (Winter Bear) - Jungkook: (My Time) (Still With You) I know this is a lot (LMAO) but their discography is vast, and this is a small taste that is a good first few steps! I've described them so that you can pick and choose according to what the mood and plan is. Have a fun journey with BTS- it's nothing but a good time in here!
SoFi was fantastic. I went all 4 nights. It is hard to imagine how it could be possible, but they are even more charismatic in person! Such a fantastic experience. After that, I plan to go to every concert they are able to have in North America from here going forward.
@@jenniferjohnson5064 I went day 1 and 2. I had floors seats then 300 in day 2. It was the best experience I had. Going to all their concert in US from now on 😊
@@ladiehang , I know, right? I told my adult daughters who are also ARMY that I am going to every BTS concert in North America from now until the end of time. 💜
The young lady that choreographed that is the one in the middle they focus on in the first scene. Also, at the last LA concert last night they gave her a huge shout out and showed them hugging at the end. Need to watch "Spring Day" MV and then watch the explanation video. Shows another great side of them.
Fun facts : this is actually the second video for this song. The first one is more cinematic and is titled the official MV. This was shot with a lot of drones to get those crazy angle views. Location: the Sepulveda Dam. if it looks familiar to you, you might have seen it the movie The Italian Job or Gattaca
Black Swan and ON are closely related thematically. They’re both ‘Shadow’ songs. A good one for you to try next would be Interlude: Shadow, which is a Suga rap-heavy song from earlier in the sequence. Very different feel from Black Swan and ON. Oh, I should have said that Interlude: Shadow is in some ways linked to Daechwita, which is one of Suga’s solo songs (where he goes by the name Agust-D), it’s a masterpiece which I know a few people have recommended to you.
Please know that the music video for Interlude: Shadow is missing a very important verse. it was meant to be more like a trailer video for their album. A lyric video of that song first then the mv would be a good way to go. Also Daechwita is brilliant both visually and sonically (2 main characters in the mv, both are Agust D/SUGA - some people get confused). Highly recommend along with the explanation video by Bookish Theories.
Superbowl fans don't deserve BTS, for the most part. If they did, it'd be for ARMY...and a lotta football fans will be disappointed as ARMY will buy out all the tickets. I don't think those fandoms will mix well...
The dance break isn't part of the actual song though 😔 You'll only find it in the Kinetic Manifesto and the MV but not on Spotify or Apple Music :(( BUTTT they do include it sometimes for special performances 😁 I think they didn't do it at the concert bc they'd end up not having the energy for the rest of the night 😅
I don’t think this was the first song for me, but definitely one of the first ones and it’s what got me hooked also. After seeing this, I went digging dip into the rabbit hole.
Love that you're honest about what you really enjoy, I hope you could react to BTS medley (silver spoon, run, fire...) and I really think you'd appreciate the music more when you learn more about the members so please do an introduction video to the 7 members of BTS, it might be long but it's worth it 💜
One if the first things everyone has to learn about BTS is not to try and identify them by hair color or style. It can change literally from one hour to the next. LOL On still gives me tingles. That dance break, the marching band, the dancers (a group called The Lab from LA, who BTS have worked with a number of times, including their 4 recent LA shows), Jungkook's breakdown (which we also heard him pull off just sitting in a car on James Corden's Carpool Karaoke-- another highly recommended video, as you get to see more of their personalities. ) ON us just an incredible jam that there performed in places like Grand Central Station and Seoul World Cup Stadium (with a full marching band, cheerleaders, and all. If you like rock, one if their more rock-style songs is Dionysus. Enjoy! I'm really enjoying your reactions. It's clear you're enjoying BTS without you guys being over the top, freaking out about it. It's very cool. Thanks!
Loving your reaction to their music! You will have an even better appreciation of this song and BTS if you watch the BTS “ ON “ documentary . It’s very impressive! You will be surprised how many people from the US contributed to the making of this song .
Lyrics , lyrics are everything to the BTS experience. It's what sets them apart from the ordinary. The performances complete them. Of course their live shows are phenomenal.
Just in case you might wanna know a little info about the boys. RM - leader, main rapper, main song writer (came from underground rap, stage name Runch Randa) Jin - vocalist, oldest member, visual (front act in music videos) Suga - lead rapper, main song writer, music producer (came from underground rap, stage name Gloss) Jhope - rapper, dance leader, sub vocalist, main song writer (came from underground dance crew, group name Neuron) Jimin - lead vocalist, main dancer (expert in contemporary dancing, has high pitch unique tone of voice) V - vocalist, dancer, visual (has deep and soulful voice) Jungkook - main vocalist, lead dancer, sub rapper, golden youngest (can do everything) Edit: ARMY, feel free to comment down below and correct me if there's some mistakes in the information I've listed and if I missed something important.
@@chrislian4826 No. JK is the center of their dance formation. What I meant for "front act" is about their story line in MVs where Jin is being focused, more like an actor role. But of course other members have roles as well. Sorry if it's not clear. English is not my first language.
To further clarify(?): RM is Kim NamJoon, Rap Monster was also a former name, 🐨 Jin is Kim SeokJin, World Wide Handsome, and now, apparently Jwan (!), 🐹 SUGA (short for "shooting guard", his BB position), is Min YoonGi, also AgustD is his rap pseudonym (backwards for DT for "Daegu Town" where he's from + Suga), 🐱 Jhope is Jung HoSeok, Hobi, and now apparently JwiHope (!) 🐿 Jimin is Park JiMin, Jiminie, 🐣 V is Kim TaeHyung, Tae-Tae, 🐻 JK is Jeon JungKook, Kookie, 🐰 This may help you. Emojis/nicknames are what ARMY often use to mark conversations in some translations. The members are fully aware of their animal icons and some of the nicknames came from them. 💜
you can watch "the most beautiful life goes on "a story of bts" in there so much information about their journey in the music world and their album from their debut to the last song permission to dance
I really want to see you react to The Most Beautiful Life Goes On: A Story of BTS and you will know each members' role and what theyve been through and achieved as a group.
Besides their songs & performances i recommend u to see some vids of their journey. Like The Rise of Bangtan series, From Nobodies to Legends series by xceleste, to know them even deeper cz bts is a special group of ppl, 7 incredible human beings who have amazing personalities outside their awesome songs, dances & vocals 💜
Don't forget the subtitles. You can watch a lyric video, then the mv(same reaction). Or read the lyrics before watching. Their songs have such amazingly written lyrics that tackle so many things. They talk or call out social/cultural issues with "Baepsae (Silver Spoon)", "N.O." & "Spine Breaker". Mental health issue's they've experienced like depression and anxiety “The Last' - Agust D(Suga)", "Blue and Grey", and about learning to love and accept yourself "Epiphany - Jin", "Magic Shop" & "Cypher 4 - Rap Line". They've also called out haters in "Mic Drop", "Not Today" & "DDAENG". But they never call out a specific person/group. "If you think it's about you, that's your problem."
I have really been enjoying your videos since your first BTS post. I am looking forward to it every day. And if you are not aware, if you click the "CC" button on the YT video, you will get English lyrics on almost all of the BTS videos that come from their channel. But if it comes up as (auto-generated) they are useless at translating. Some of BTS's many main attractions are their lyrics after all. Edit: Spelling error
I went to the four shows in LA, last week, and BTS opened every show with ON. ON came out in February 2020, and November 27, 2021 was the first time BTS had been able to perform it in front of ARMY. A football stadium filled with 50k ARMY, all chanting, “AYYY-OHHH!!!” , along with BTS. Magical.
If you like the upbeat high energy songs, I'd recommend Not Today and Idol. Both are amazing songs and MV's. Great reaction as always guys :) On a side note because you like hard rock I'd highly recommend you try the girl group "Dreamcatcher" they fuse rock into their music for a totally unique sound in kpop.
I freaking love them in this! The energy and talent is off the charts! Hopefully you'll react to Blood, Sweat and Tears too It's a cinematic masterpiece, and the sound is incredible
I just recently learned this dance choreography and I honestly thought I was going to die the first time I did it all the way through at full speed. It’s so intense! Granted, I’m an amateur dancer and I’m not in my best shape.
Thank you for your continuous reactions to BTS! They have a wide discography of 200+ songs with many different genres if you continue listening to them. Here's the Behind the Scene music production of "ON" with The UCLA Marching Band and the backing vocals of a Gospel Choir :- BTS (방탄소년단) 'ON' Commentary Film : Dialogue th-cam.com/video/npfs6afvIhk/w-d-xo.html
I’m about 5 videos in to your BTS journey and reliving my own trip down the rabbit hole. You should really watch with subtitles on :) but aside from that enjoy the music! 💜 it’s so fun watching your reactions and hope you keep appreciating their music and art.
This song gives me a supremacy kind of feeling. Like a challenge to the world, try and beat us. It's so powerful and confident, idk, it's music but with a bazooka.
I love you guy's reaction and looking forward to following your BTS journey. To get to know more about the members of BTS. I recommend watching An Introduction to the 7 members of BTS (2021 update) by Ida S. You will have to do a bit of reading but it is a great guide.
oh yeah and veture out to liten too all of them on there solo songs and there collab songs with one another there beautifully done......and there singing is truly real......these young men have worked so hard and the surprises you get when you actually listen to them individuailty is eye opening
the drum line on the track is by UCLA marching band. but the drum line on the video is actually blue devils if you want to pls watch the documentary for this track. it's a behind the scene of UCLA and a gospel choir recording for this track
Your channel be one of my fav for BTS reaction. Really to the point and only say what just need to say. 💜 Glad to know you, guys.. Try Black Swan. It's one of top tiers of BTS songs. Try to remember the name by their voice, it's easier than by their face/hair. Then divide it for Rapline (RM, Suga, j-hope) and vocal line (Jin, Jimin, V, JK). Most army gone through this difficulty at first. But now we can differenciate them by their shadow. 😁
A few interesting facts about the mv for BTS "ON" official video: The dance portion was choreographed by Sienna Lalau, from the LA area when still in her teens. She appears in the video leading the dancers up front & center at the beginning of the video. Sienna also choreographed BTS's "Dionysus" performance dance (watch it live, amazing) and J-hope's "Chicken Noodle Soup " (and dances in it also). The dancers were from THE LAB, a multinational dance troup Sienna works with & who BTS has used while on tour in the US. The band appearing in the mv is "The Blue Devils", a competitive Drum and Bugle Corp . The video was filmed at the Sepulveda dam outside LA.
The lyrics and MV of this song talk about the internal battle we often face. Drums announce the battle (as in medieval times). But the song says that we need to accept our shadows in order to evolve.
The choreo for this was exhausting. If you watch the practice session for this you can hear the support dancers (The Lab) shouting at the boys to keep going. (Look at the version with subtitles). Doing this out in the hot LA Sun at the Sepulveda Dam was incredible. The young lady you see in the centre of the dancers with her hair in a braid is the choreographer for this, Sienna Lalau. She was 19 when she did it and has also contributed to the choreo on other BTS dances including Dionysus. You should also watch the behind the scenes making of this. Poor V was hit just below his eye by his zip and very nearly had a bad accident. You’ll be able to see the writing in his face and the thorns drawn on his neck. Each time they have done this he has had a more extensive thorn pattern drawn. He had it for the online PTD show from Seoul but not the PTD LA concerts.
Welcome to amazing world of BTS rabbit hole. BTS rarely do anything random. I enjoy their music for deep meanings. Only music artists I cherish with all my heart and passion!!! Love BTS!!!
Glad you enjoyed ON Kinetic Manifesto! I especially enjoyed Jhope (the rapper who was rappin when you commented a the bass line) and Suga (the rapper who raps after him) verses in this. ON is special in the sense that musically, it encoporated marching band instruments in. Since you're enjoying this, I suggest you watching "ON Commentary Film: Dialogue" released by BigHit on BangtanTV which shows the different groups of people involved in making ON happen 😊
I just found you guys and am loving your reactions to BTS! You sing their songs in the shower! Try waking up and going to sleep with their entire discography in your head!! This is what they do to you!!
They are stupid talented and no one can argue that! They truly are the best and there’s no denying !!! 💜 loving these reaction videos pls keep doing them and also diving into the meaning into their songs and even their music videos!!!
This was their first song/mv back from an extended vacation, their first since debut. They're currently on their second right now (beginning of Dec likely through New Years). They originally expressed pouring their hearts and souls into this performance and choreo as it had been awhile (by kpop standards) since they had released anything. They were as amped to create it as we were to watch it haha.
FYI GUYS- 3 in "rap" line(RM,SUGA,JHOPE) 4 in vocal line((JIN,JIMIN,V, JUNGKOOK).. Oldest-Jin.. Youngest(maknae)Jungkook.. Dance-Jhope(leader), Jimin( contemporary dance trained) Aka's- Yoongi = Suga, AgustD Jin = WWH, world wide handsome Jimin = Mochi, JM Jungkook = JK, Golden Maknae JHope- Hobi, Sunshine RM- Namjoonie, Rapmonsta( doesn't like it anymore) V= Taehyung, TaeTae All have solo music Soooooooooooo much more....
This song was their opening song at their 4 day, sold out, Stadium Concert, that just ended on December second. They played the song 'ON' perfectly, with amazing energy and the same choreography without the dance break. Then they Performed Fire, Dope, and DNA. All with amazing energy and choreography. Then they took a 10 minute break for a costume change, and came out for their second set. I don't know where they get their energy, but they are even better in concert. Best concert and performance I've ever experienced. They had 25 songs on their setlist. Think about that for a moment, it just amazes me.
They filmed this at the LA BASIN. Where they filmed the "Rebel without a cause & Grese" car racing scenes. I drive by it on the way to my sisters house in Reseda. V was hurt under his eye (the one in white with the fake under eye tattoo. And Jin (denim jacket) said it was the hardest choriography for him. It was also VERY HOT that day. Bless them.💜
Fun fact: he isn't actually wearing a denim jacket. It is a normal black leather jacket that was last minute spray painted silver (literally on set minutes before filming). At the beginning everyone was actually dressed black, but because they blended in with the back up dancers, whoever wanted could change their clothes to white to stand out more.
There is ON commentary film, short documentary on TH-cam about people who contributed to this song like UCLA marching band, producers, choir and so on. Very interesting film, I strongly suggest to watch that next.
I love to see more people enjoying BTS music. I am a 39 yo latina, really into Spanish dancing music and classic rock, and now I am a big BTS fan. Thanks for sharing!
I grew up with all kind of music, rock, blues, soul, pop, pop rock, R&B... For me it's always about the music, the artist, the lirics.. Not the genre, so Bts fit in just fine in my day to day. Cause no matter your usual 'taste' people can't deny the energy, the bits, the productions, the lirics, the mv, the choreography.. And yeah all have a catchy part that you end up singing around the house. And of course I still listen to music from any of the last 4..5 decades, so why not something so fresh? It gave me more energy ❤️enjoy it
This song was also performed at the NYork Grand Central and it was amazing too. To know other performances, you can watch the sophisticated and iconic BTS performances production in 'BTS MMA 2018' and 'BTS MMA 2019' as well as watch The Truth Untold (live video). To know their names and personalities there are several videos like 'Who is BTS? The seven members of Bangtan (introduction)', and 'BTS hardships'. And please, don't miss Daewchita 🙏 and Shadow.
There is a wonderful documentary about the making of this video and song. What went into making the song is just amazing. BTS really knows how to bring people together from all over and different genres.😘💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
If you're looking to get into the different styles and sounds of the individual members, you can react to - Jin - Epiphany, Abyss, Awake, Moon Suga - The Last, First Love, Interlude:Shadow, Daechwita, Trivia: Seesaw, Agust D J-Hope - Day Dream, Airplane, Blue Side, Ego, Mama, Trivia: Just Dance RM - Persona, Joke, Reflection, Forever Rain, Tokyo, Trivia: Love, Moonchild V - Singularity, Stigma, Scenery, Inner Child, Sweet Night Jimin - Intro: Serendipity, Lie, Promise, Filter JK - Begin, Euphoria, My Time There is more but this is what I remember off the top of my head 😁
there is a short documentary on this available on youtube. absolutely worth the watch as it focuses on the ucla marching band recording the instrumentals.
There is a wonderful documentary about the making of this video and song. What went I to making the song is just amazing. BTS really knows how to bring people together from all over and different genres.😘💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
You guys should check out the BTS ON documentary about how this song was made. They have a lot of behind the scene stuff about their work. Good reaction 😊
Fun fact, ON hadn't been performed live until last week's LA concert. I cannot tell you how emotional it was seeing them come out on stage after a two year absence. FYI the rapline is RM, Suga and JHope. The vocal line consists of V, Jin, Jimin and Jung Kook.

The UCLA marching band is behind the band instrumental. This choreography is one of their hardest and the camera work is insane...absolutely love the song💜
And their gospel choir is on the backing vocals as well. 💜
@@imajinallthepurple Oh yes...thank you💜, I didn't know the name of the choir so I didn't include them.
Definitely, I think so too that this choreography is one of their hardest. And I love the blending of the sound of the marching band and the gospel choir.
I was thinking the same.....
I think The Blue Devils actually performed in this video with BTS if I remember correctly?
Don't be embarrassed singing in the shower after hearing BTS 🤣 everyone experiences this sickness 💜
It's part of going down the rabbit hole xD
The only problem is that I can't pronounce most of their lyrics, so I end up singing gibberish
I’ve had this sickness for 4 years. It never ends !!
If I ain't singing BTS in the shower y'all better check on me to see if I'm breathing.
@@reddieweeb 🤗🤣🎶 Nah.. You're Just Singing in Korean like the rest of Us.. 🤗 I find Myself 🎶 Humming or Singing random BTS Songs out of the Blue during the Day! *Stay Safe & 🙏 Healthy! *Watching from New⚘Jersey, USA 😎
According to BTS this is their hardest choreo. I interpret it as the most physically demanding to execute. Not necessarily the most difficult to learn. There are other more complicated choreos.
They actually performed this song live in Grand Central Terminal on the Jimmy Fallon show, so impressive! Also Jin, who looked like he was wearing a denim jacket, was actually wearing a black leather jacket but they thought there was too much black so they spray painted the front of it white lol I enjoy these reactions guys-keep going!
Also, recommendations: ‘Home’ and ‘Mikrokosmos’ performed in the Jimmy Fallon show, ‘Airplane Pt. 2’ and ‘Fake Love’ MV’s, and the ‘Baepsae’ dance practice followed by an explanation video (I like the one by DKDKTV). Enjoy the rabbit hole!
Yeeeah you guys should watch .... it was great live performance ....
With captions on!!!!
Yeah the Jimmy live in Grand Central terminal NY is pure fire but be careful doing a react and try not to get a copyright strike(change video a little or do pauses) since it's hosted on a official US channel instead of the official bighit/hybe channel.
Yes you have to watch this to be more impressed
Using closed captions is always a must for BTS MVs. This song is off Map of the Soul 7 which uses Swiss psychologist Carl Jungs ideas about Persona, Shadow, and Ego. On it each rapper did a solo song on the album each delving into one of those topics: RM had a really thoughtful view to kick it off in a high energy Persona, Suga had a very personal darker and intense introspection on his Shadow, and JHope had an extremely dance upbeat Ego. The three songs are linked lyrically with some questions they ask in one answered in another. Getting to “On” this song also refers to the Shadow (and V had the words written on his face “the shadow within”) and is a motivational song about getting through struggles “…With each step then again grows the shadow…. Look at my feet, look down, The shadow resembles me, Is it the shadow that's shaking, Or is it my feet that are trembling, Of course I'm not unafraid, Of course it's not all okay”. This has some fantastic lyrics about BTS’s own struggles and how they are not giving up “bring the pain on” and they discuss how the struggles are incorporated into them and what makes us each who we are. Musically it’s a huge high energy song with some of the most exhausting choreography around, lyrically it’s another deep one that has helped myself and many many others get through tough times.
“Jimin and V:
I can't understand what people are sayin'
Who and what do I need to follow
With each step then again grows the shadow
Where is this place I open my eyes to
Maybe Seoul or New York or Paris
I get up, unsteady on my feet
RM:
Look at my feet, look down
The shadow resembles me
Is it the shadow that's shaking
Or is it my feet that are trembling
Of course I'm not unafraid
Of course it's not all okay
But I know
Awkwardly I flow
I fly together with that black wind
Jimin, Jungkook, and Jin:
Hey na-na-na
Gotta go insane to stay sane
Hey na-na-na
Throw myself whole into both worlds
Hey na-na-na
Can't hold me down 'cuz you know I'm a fighter
Carried myself into this beautiful prison
Find me and I'm gonna live with ya
All BTS:
Eh-Oh
Bring it, bring the pain, oh yeah
Eh-Oh
Come on up, bring the pain, oh yeah
Rain be pourin'
Sky keep fallin'
Everyday oh na-na-na
Eh-Oh
Bring it, bring the pain, oh yeah
J- Hope:
Bring the pain
It'll become my blood and flesh
Bring the pain
No fear, now that I know the way
Breathe on the small things
My air and my light in the dark
The power of the things that make me, "me"
Even if I fall, I come right up, scream
Suga:
Even if I fall, I come right up, scream
That's how we've always been
Even if my knees drop to the ground
As long as they don't get buried
It won't matter
Win no matter what
Whatever you say, whatever they say
I don't give a uhh
I don't give a uhh
I don't give a uhh, yeah
Chorus
Jungkook and Jimin:
Where my pain lies
Let me take a breath
My everythin'
My blood and tears
Got no fears
I'm singin' ohhhhh
Oh I'm takin' over
You should know yeah
Can't hold me down 'cuz you know I'm a fighter
Choosing to descend into the dark abyss
Find me and I'm gonna bleed with ya
Chorus
Eh-Oh
Bring it, bring the pain, oh yeah
Eh-Oh
Come on up, bring the pain, oh yeah
All that I know
Is just goin' on & on & on & on
Eh-Oh
Bring it, bring the pain, oh yeah
In "Black Swan" they crashed with the shadow and explored it. At the beginning of "On" they are bruised from the encounter but they also know what to do now. So they begin to face the "shadow"/the uncounscious/ the fear of losing their passion. The dance break is that fight that this time they win and succeed in their task to become more whole. Which is the end of the journey of discovery of self.
"Bring the pain on" because meeting the shadow hurts/frightens but you can't run. It is part of us. If we run it will surpise us when we least expect it: what do you think a "midlife crisis" is? But searching out hurt when you seemingly don't need to is "insane". If you don't do it though you won't stay "sane" with the crisis following. In other words do it on your own terms before you are forced to and it hits you harder.
At least that is my impression. Borahae! 💜
🤗 BRAVO! 👏👏👏 .. 🎶 I Sang to Those Lyrics 🎶 *(Army)* Stay Safe &🙏 Healthy! *Watching from New⚘Jersey, USA 😎
@@ruthfischer7615 ehhh
I recommend "On Commentary Film" as someone who really appreciates how music is made, that's a good perspective on how this song was produced. It's a 18 min documentary made by BTS's label.
This is good too
I really love the documentary. I had a better appreciation of the music after watching it . I’m surprised not a lot of people watched it.
This. I was about to comment it, but I thought I'd check out the comments first in case it was already suggested.
seconded!!!!
Absolutely! I thought the choir sounded like some angels in heaven, and after watching the doku I said to myself of course! Who could better incorporate this feeling than some good ol Gospel choir, like they are simply unmatched in this. Also seeing how they record it, all the instruments and stuff, loved it.
What's more amazing is BTS write and produce all of their songs. Talented Kings
👑
You'll be surprise when you watch all their performance at asian award. MAMA and MMA 2016-2020.
@3:30 when the break happens and they’re all lined up before the solo, they are actually lined up from oldest to youngest in the group:
Jin- oldest who turns 29 yrs old tomorrow (12/4/21). Company wanted him for his looks and pretty much trained him to be a singer and dancer, I think starting at age 21. His nickname is World Wide Handsome- if you’re curious there are videos out there that explains it. He’s also the comedian in the group.
Suga- his name comes from his position as shooting guard when he played basketball in school. He only wanted to rap and produce music. He didn’t want to dance and the company “tricked” him to get on board telling him he didn’t have to dance.
J-Hope- the lead dancer for the group. He helps the team learn their choreo. He almost quit the group and HE LOVES SPRITE! Lol.
RM- leader of the group and the first to be signed up for the group. Super smart guy.
Jimin- his background is contemporary dance and the last to join the group. He has a special talent known as the Jimin Effect 🤣. He has the high pitch voice when singing. Plus his more feminine face and certain hairstyles, a lot of reactors confuse him to be a woman at first.
V- sings baritone and has a very soulful sound. You have to check out his solo: Singularity. He also does acting. He coined a word special to fans/ARMY- borahae which means I 💜 you. Bora is purple in Korean.
Jungkook- pure talent. He is good at EVERYTHING. He’s the youngest, the main vocalist, and one of the 3 main dancers (ie, always front and center). He used to also rap in their early years. He was sought out by multiple agencies, but he chose Big Hit because he saw RM, like him and wanted to be with him. He’s RM’s biggest fan 😁.
ARMY is the name of the BTS fandom which stands for Adorable Representative M.c. for Youth.
Love this comment! Thanks for all that great info!
Great info, but a small correction - Jin was 18 when he was picked up by Big Hit (it was mid-2011). He always says he was 20/21, but he is talking in Korean age not international age.
Also, JHOPE is dance leader not lead dancer. He is also one of the main dancers along with jimin.
They all write songs, but RM and Suga write a lot of the group’s lyrics. Most things that come out of RM’s mouth are poetic. He has the second most song credits of anyone on the Korean charts (almost 200), and he is still very young. Like many of them, there is a duality to him - he is a fierce rapper, but he loves nature, modern art, reading, crabs. He is very emotionally intelligent, takes good care of the group, and was a big part of setting the tone that BTS works together rather than competes with one another, which is part of why they work together so well and have stayed together so long. BTS is often compared to the Beatles, and the fame and other pressures drove the rakes apart in only 4 years or so. All the members are crazy charismatic on stage, and they are all super sweet guys who genuinely care about each other and their fans.
Such stellar info! This may have already been covered along the way but I think it’s notable that group leader RM (given name is Namjoon) is the only member who was fluent in English since day 1. He’s self-taught and tells the story that he learned from watching the series Friends on DVD as a kid. The other members are learning the language and appear to understand a lot, but regularly express appreciation to RM for carrying the water that enabled them to do media interviews and appearances in English speaking countries. After spending several weeks in LA recently for the AMAs, four sold out concerts, and other activity RM essentially said during a livestream that he’s looking forward to going home to Korea so he can give his mind rest and only have to speak one language.
Hello! Just found this channel yesterday and have enjoyed all your reactions up until now. I think you guys are doing a fair job in trying out different sounds like Dionysus, Mic Drop and Black Swan as well as their English Trilogy which has a more pop sound and the deeper cuts of some rap line tracks like UGH and Ddaeng. I have some recommendations if you want to explore their diverse range:
- Spring Day (about a national tragedy), Life Goes On (about the onset of COVID), Blue and Grey: ballads
- Cyphers pt 1-4, Outro: Tear : rap line songs (amazing flows and beats)
- House of Cards, The Truth Untold: vocal line songs (slower, darker tracks)
- Airplane pt 2 (Latin-infused sound) (be careful of copyright), Dis-ease (throwback hip-hop)
- Fake Love (the original has a music video but I would also recommend the Rocking Vibe mix keeping in mind your tastes) as well as Danger (an older more rock-sound-inspired track)
- Paradise, Tomorrow, Magic Shop, Answer: Love Myself (deep messages of comfort)
-Go Go, Silver Spoon, Spine Breaker, No More Dream, N.O. (talking about society and it's problems)
Diving into each members solo tracks I would recommend two each so you can see the different styles they try:
- RM: (Persona) (tokyo)
- Jin: (Epiphany) (Abyss)
- SUGA: (Daechwita) (The Last)
- j-hope: (Airplane) (Blue Side)
- Jimin: (Lie) (Promise)
- V: (Singularity) (Winter Bear)
- Jungkook: (My Time) (Still With You)
I know this is a lot (LMAO) but their discography is vast, and this is a small taste that is a good first few steps! I've described them so that you can pick and choose according to what the mood and plan is. Have a fun journey with BTS- it's nothing but a good time in here!
Love the recommendations.
Me when someone says ‘recommend ur favourite one’. 👍🏻😬
Great suggestions
Suga created the dance break beat. I just saw this live in person at the LA concert. It was amazing
SoFi? We just watched several SoFi fan cams! Videos come out early next week
SoFi was fantastic. I went all 4 nights. It is hard to imagine how it could be possible, but they are even more charismatic in person! Such a fantastic experience. After that, I plan to go to every concert they are able to have in North America from here going forward.
@@jenniferjohnson5064 I went day 1 and 2. I had floors seats then 300 in day 2. It was the best experience I had. Going to all their concert in US from now on 😊
@@ladiehang , I know, right? I told my adult daughters who are also ARMY that I am going to every BTS concert in North America from now until the end of time. 💜
The young lady that choreographed that is the one in the middle they focus on in the first scene. Also, at the last LA concert last night they gave her a huge shout out and showed them hugging at the end.
Need to watch "Spring Day" MV and then watch the explanation video. Shows another great side of them.
Fun facts : this is actually the second video for this song. The first one is more cinematic and is titled the official MV.
This was shot with a lot of drones to get those crazy angle views.
Location: the Sepulveda Dam. if it looks familiar to you, you might have seen it the movie The Italian Job or Gattaca
this was the first video "come prima" - the cinematic one came later
@@nynex4 oops sorry... You are correct
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜JUNGKOOK and his high notes! They killed it.
Black Swan and ON are closely related thematically. They’re both ‘Shadow’ songs. A good one for you to try next would be Interlude: Shadow, which is a Suga rap-heavy song from earlier in the sequence. Very different feel from Black Swan and ON.
Oh, I should have said that Interlude: Shadow is in some ways linked to Daechwita, which is one of Suga’s solo songs (where he goes by the name Agust-D), it’s a masterpiece which I know a few people have recommended to you.
Please know that the music video for Interlude: Shadow is missing a very important verse. it was meant to be more like a trailer video for their album. A lyric video of that song first then the mv would be a good way to go. Also Daechwita is brilliant both visually and sonically (2 main characters in the mv, both are Agust D/SUGA - some people get confused). Highly recommend along with the explanation video by Bookish Theories.
ON has been their opening song in their concerts recently at PTD LA 💜 Imagine if they did this at the Superbowl 😩 everyone's leaving as an ARMY xD
Superbowl fans don't deserve BTS, for the most part. If they did, it'd be for ARMY...and a lotta football fans will be disappointed as ARMY will buy out all the tickets. I don't think those fandoms will mix well...
That’s true tho :((
They started out each of their four concerts at SoFi this week with this song and performance- it was amazing!!
The dance break isn't part of the actual song though 😔 You'll only find it in the Kinetic Manifesto and the MV but not on Spotify or Apple Music :(( BUTTT they do include it sometimes for special performances 😁 I think they didn't do it at the concert bc they'd end up not having the energy for the rest of the night 😅
This was the first song I ever saw and heard from BTS. After that I was hooked. I'm proud to be ARMY!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I don’t think this was the first song for me, but definitely one of the first ones and it’s what got me hooked also. After seeing this, I went digging dip into the rabbit hole.
Plzzz React to bts medley live performance Tokyo dome 💜
Love that you're honest about what you really enjoy, I hope you could react to BTS medley (silver spoon, run, fire...) and I really think you'd appreciate the music more when you learn more about the members so please do an introduction video to the 7 members of BTS, it might be long but it's worth it 💜
One if the first things everyone has to learn about BTS is not to try and identify them by hair color or style. It can change literally from one hour to the next. LOL
On still gives me tingles. That dance break, the marching band, the dancers (a group called The Lab from LA, who BTS have worked with a number of times, including their 4 recent LA shows), Jungkook's breakdown (which we also heard him pull off just sitting in a car on James Corden's Carpool Karaoke-- another highly recommended video, as you get to see more of their personalities. ) ON us just an incredible jam that there performed in places like Grand Central Station and Seoul World Cup Stadium (with a full marching band, cheerleaders, and all.
If you like rock, one if their more rock-style songs is Dionysus. Enjoy!
I'm really enjoying your reactions. It's clear you're enjoying BTS without you guys being over the top, freaking out about it. It's very cool. Thanks!
Loving your reaction to their music! You will have an even better appreciation of this song and BTS if you watch the BTS “ ON “ documentary . It’s very impressive! You will be surprised how many people from the US contributed to the making of this song .
Lyrics , lyrics are everything to the BTS experience. It's what sets them apart from the ordinary. The performances complete them. Of course their live shows are phenomenal.
Just in case you might wanna know a little info about the boys.
RM - leader, main rapper, main song writer (came from underground rap, stage name Runch Randa)
Jin - vocalist, oldest member, visual (front act in music videos)
Suga - lead rapper, main song writer, music producer (came from underground rap, stage name Gloss)
Jhope - rapper, dance leader, sub vocalist, main song writer (came from underground dance crew, group name Neuron)
Jimin - lead vocalist, main dancer (expert in contemporary dancing, has high pitch unique tone of voice)
V - vocalist, dancer, visual (has deep and soulful voice)
Jungkook - main vocalist, lead dancer, sub rapper, golden youngest (can do everything)
Edit: ARMY, feel free to comment down below and correct me if there's some mistakes in the information I've listed and if I missed something important.
Wouldn’t front act of mv be center for jk?
@@chrislian4826 No. JK is the center of their dance formation. What I meant for "front act" is about their story line in MVs where Jin is being focused, more like an actor role. But of course other members have roles as well. Sorry if it's not clear. English is not my first language.
To further clarify(?):
RM is Kim NamJoon, Rap Monster was also a former name, 🐨
Jin is Kim SeokJin, World Wide Handsome, and now, apparently Jwan (!), 🐹
SUGA (short for "shooting guard", his BB position), is Min YoonGi, also AgustD is his rap pseudonym (backwards for DT for "Daegu Town" where he's from + Suga), 🐱
Jhope is Jung HoSeok, Hobi, and now apparently JwiHope (!) 🐿
Jimin is Park JiMin, Jiminie, 🐣
V is Kim TaeHyung, Tae-Tae, 🐻
JK is Jeon JungKook, Kookie, 🐰
This may help you. Emojis/nicknames are what ARMY often use to mark conversations in some translations. The members are fully aware of their animal icons and some of the nicknames came from them. 💜
you can watch "the most beautiful life goes on "a story of bts" in there so much information about their journey in the music world and their album from their debut to the last song permission to dance
Jungkooks iconic bridge in ON never gets old… it’s okay to mention his name even if he’s not your bias lol
I really want to see you react to The Most Beautiful Life Goes On: A Story of BTS and you will know each members' role and what theyve been through and achieved as a group.
yesss!
ON choreo is one of the hardest dance choreos, it is impressive and absolutely insane
Besides their songs & performances i recommend u to see some vids of their journey. Like The Rise of Bangtan series, From Nobodies to Legends series by xceleste, to know them even deeper cz bts is a special group of ppl, 7 incredible human beings who have amazing personalities outside their awesome songs, dances & vocals 💜
ON is my favorite song, MV and performance. Everytime I watch it, I stop doing whatever I am so I can fully enjoy it.
Don't forget the subtitles. You can watch a lyric video, then the mv(same reaction). Or read the lyrics before watching. Their songs have such amazingly written lyrics that tackle so many things. They talk or call out social/cultural issues with "Baepsae (Silver Spoon)", "N.O." & "Spine Breaker". Mental health issue's they've experienced like depression and anxiety “The Last' - Agust D(Suga)", "Blue and Grey", and about learning to love and accept yourself "Epiphany - Jin", "Magic Shop" & "Cypher 4 - Rap Line".
They've also called out haters in "Mic Drop", "Not Today" & "DDAENG". But they never call out a specific person/group. "If you think it's about you, that's your problem."
Flew from michigan to LA to see BTS and this song live was a religious experience
I have really been enjoying your videos since your first BTS post. I am looking forward to it every day.
And if you are not aware, if you click the "CC" button on the YT video, you will get English lyrics on almost all of the BTS videos that come from their channel. But if it comes up as (auto-generated) they are useless at translating.
Some of BTS's many main attractions are their lyrics after all.
Edit: Spelling error
That beat drop and different part of the song at the dance break, is actually an old piece made by suga years ago and they hadn't use it till 2020
I went to the four shows in LA, last week, and BTS opened every show with ON. ON came out in February 2020, and November 27, 2021 was the first time BTS had been able to perform it in front of ARMY. A football stadium filled with 50k ARMY, all chanting, “AYYY-OHHH!!!” , along with BTS. Magical.
It was this that got me hooked on BTS,I think it must have been hell filming in that obvious heat,well done guys!!!!!☀️☀️☀️☀️
If you like the upbeat high energy songs, I'd recommend Not Today and Idol. Both are amazing songs and MV's. Great reaction as always guys :)
On a side note because you like hard rock I'd highly recommend you try the girl group "Dreamcatcher" they fuse rock into their music for a
totally unique sound in kpop.
Nothing is more fun than watching people realize that BTS is amazing :)
Highly recommend the documentary film for the making of this 👌
th-cam.com/video/npfs6afvIhk/w-d-xo.html
I freaking love them in this! The energy and talent is off the charts!
Hopefully you'll react to Blood, Sweat and Tears too It's a cinematic masterpiece, and the sound is incredible
I just recently learned this dance choreography and I honestly thought I was going to die the first time I did it all the way through at full speed. It’s so intense! Granted, I’m an amateur dancer and I’m not in my best shape.
Thank you for your continuous reactions to BTS!
They have a wide discography of 200+ songs with many different genres if you continue listening to them.
Here's the Behind the Scene music production of "ON" with The UCLA Marching Band and the backing vocals of a Gospel Choir :-
BTS (방탄소년단) 'ON' Commentary Film : Dialogue th-cam.com/video/npfs6afvIhk/w-d-xo.html
You need to watch their MV with English subtitles to appreciate their music.
Please turn on the subtitle/close captions for all their official music videos. Otherwise you're completely missing out on what they're saying.
Please watch the performance of ON at Grand Central Station.
I hope you react to the other ON video as well. It's like watching a movie.
I’m about 5 videos in to your BTS journey and reliving my own trip down the rabbit hole. You should really watch with subtitles on :) but aside from that enjoy the music! 💜 it’s so fun watching your reactions and hope you keep appreciating their music and art.
This song gives me a supremacy kind of feeling. Like a challenge to the world, try and beat us. It's so powerful and confident, idk, it's music but with a bazooka.
I love you guy's reaction and looking forward to following your BTS journey. To get to know more about the members of BTS. I recommend watching An Introduction to the 7 members of BTS (2021 update) by Ida S. You will have to do a bit of reading but it is a great guide.
oh yeah and veture out to liten too all of them on there solo songs and there collab songs with one another there beautifully done......and there singing is truly real......these young men have worked so hard and the surprises you get when you actually listen to them individuailty is eye opening
the drum line on the track is by UCLA marching band. but the drum line on the video is actually blue devils
if you want to pls watch the documentary for this track. it's a behind the scene of UCLA and a gospel choir recording for this track
Your channel be one of my fav for BTS reaction. Really to the point and only say what just need to say. 💜 Glad to know you, guys..
Try Black Swan. It's one of top tiers of BTS songs.
Try to remember the name by their voice, it's easier than by their face/hair. Then divide it for Rapline (RM, Suga, j-hope) and vocal line (Jin, Jimin, V, JK). Most army gone through this difficulty at first. But now we can differenciate them by their shadow. 😁
Oh you know what you guys should watch? Their carpool karaoke! It's a great way to hear their vocals and see their personalities.
A few interesting facts about the mv for BTS "ON" official video:
The dance portion was choreographed by Sienna Lalau, from the LA area when still in her teens. She appears in the video leading the dancers up front & center at the beginning of the video.
Sienna also choreographed BTS's "Dionysus" performance dance (watch it live, amazing) and J-hope's "Chicken Noodle Soup " (and dances in it also).
The dancers were from THE LAB, a multinational dance troup Sienna works with & who BTS has used while on tour in the US.
The band appearing in the mv is "The Blue Devils", a competitive Drum and Bugle Corp .
The video was filmed at the Sepulveda dam outside LA.
you guys should react to AGUSTD-Daechwita, Im sure you'll like it since you guys liked ddaeng so much!!!! anyways great reactions
Yes please react to Suga - AGUSTD Daechwita!!! It’s amazing!!!
The lyrics and MV of this song talk about the internal battle we often face. Drums announce the battle (as in medieval times). But the song says that we need to accept our shadows in order to evolve.
These videos have been my to go to glad your posting a lot!😂
Plz react to Introduction to the seven member of BTS (2021) update
My new go to reaction channel 😂😂
Just watched this live at last night's LA concert. I was amazed at how they can pull off this kind of magnitude performance live.
The choreo for this was exhausting. If you watch the practice session for this you can hear the support dancers (The Lab) shouting at the boys to keep going. (Look at the version with subtitles). Doing this out in the hot LA Sun at the Sepulveda Dam was incredible. The young lady you see in the centre of the dancers with her hair in a braid is the choreographer for this, Sienna Lalau. She was 19 when she did it and has also contributed to the choreo on other BTS dances including Dionysus. You should also watch the behind the scenes making of this. Poor V was hit just below his eye by his zip and very nearly had a bad accident. You’ll be able to see the writing in his face and the thorns drawn on his neck. Each time they have done this he has had a more extensive thorn pattern drawn. He had it for the online PTD show from Seoul but not the PTD LA concerts.
Please watch MMA 2019! It should be an award show but became a BTS concert! Kidding, it's still a ward show. Must watch!
Welcome to amazing world of BTS rabbit hole. BTS rarely do anything random. I enjoy their music for deep meanings. Only music artists I cherish with all my heart and passion!!! Love BTS!!!
Please react to the most beautiful life goes on ( 2021 update) 💜💜
Glad you enjoyed ON Kinetic Manifesto! I especially enjoyed Jhope (the rapper who was rappin when you commented a the bass line) and Suga (the rapper who raps after him) verses in this.
ON is special in the sense that musically, it encoporated marching band instruments in.
Since you're enjoying this, I suggest you watching "ON Commentary Film: Dialogue" released by BigHit on BangtanTV which shows the different groups of people involved in making ON happen 😊
I just found you guys and am loving your reactions to BTS! You sing their songs in the shower! Try waking up and going to sleep with their entire discography in your head!! This is what they do to you!!
Jin's spontaneous decision to paint his black jacket to metallic.
They are stupid talented and no one can argue that! They truly are the best and there’s no denying !!! 💜 loving these reaction videos pls keep doing them and also diving into the meaning into their songs and even their music videos!!!
This was their first song/mv back from an extended vacation, their first since debut. They're currently on their second right now (beginning of Dec likely through New Years). They originally expressed pouring their hearts and souls into this performance and choreo as it had been awhile (by kpop standards) since they had released anything. They were as amped to create it as we were to watch it haha.
Seeing your demeanour and body language melt with each reaction is the BTS effect 💜
FYI GUYS- 3 in "rap" line(RM,SUGA,JHOPE) 4 in vocal line((JIN,JIMIN,V, JUNGKOOK)..
Oldest-Jin.. Youngest(maknae)Jungkook..
Dance-Jhope(leader), Jimin( contemporary dance trained)
Aka's-
Yoongi = Suga, AgustD
Jin = WWH, world wide handsome
Jimin = Mochi, JM
Jungkook = JK, Golden Maknae
JHope- Hobi, Sunshine
RM- Namjoonie, Rapmonsta( doesn't like it anymore)
V= Taehyung, TaeTae
All have solo music
Soooooooooooo much more....
This song was their opening song at their 4 day, sold out, Stadium Concert, that just ended on December second. They played the song 'ON' perfectly, with amazing energy and the same choreography without the dance break. Then they Performed Fire, Dope, and DNA. All with amazing energy and choreography. Then they took a 10 minute break for a costume change, and came out for their second set. I don't know where they get their energy, but they are even better in concert. Best concert and performance I've ever experienced. They had 25 songs on their setlist. Think about that for a moment, it just amazes me.
They filmed this at the LA BASIN. Where they filmed the "Rebel without a cause & Grese" car racing scenes.
I drive by it on the way to my sisters house in Reseda.
V was hurt under his eye (the one in white with the fake under eye tattoo. And Jin (denim jacket) said it was the hardest choriography for him. It was also VERY HOT that day. Bless them.💜
Fun fact: he isn't actually wearing a denim jacket. It is a normal black leather jacket that was last minute spray painted silver (literally on set minutes before filming). At the beginning everyone was actually dressed black, but because they blended in with the back up dancers, whoever wanted could change their clothes to white to stand out more.
Oh if you wanna see the behind the scene of filming this mv, it is here with Eng subtitles:
th-cam.com/video/0Dc6tHgXp88/w-d-xo.html
There is ON commentary film, short documentary on TH-cam about people who contributed to this song like UCLA marching band, producers, choir and so on. Very interesting film, I strongly suggest to watch that next.
I love to see more people enjoying BTS music. I am a 39 yo latina, really into Spanish dancing music and classic rock, and now I am a big BTS fan. Thanks for sharing!
I grew up with all kind of music, rock, blues, soul, pop, pop rock, R&B... For me it's always about the music, the artist, the lirics.. Not the genre, so Bts fit in just fine in my day to day.
Cause no matter your usual 'taste' people can't deny the energy, the bits, the productions, the lirics, the mv, the choreography.. And yeah all have a catchy part that you end up singing around the house. And of course I still listen to music from any of the last 4..5 decades, so why not something so fresh? It gave me more energy ❤️enjoy it
ON commentary gives a good insight
The lyrics of this song was very beautiful. It makes you strong and gain confidence to overcome the struggles of life.
ON the Jimmy Fallon performance was even better.
absolutely love the gospel choir in the back. always give me the chills
You should watch their tonight show performance! Literally doing the choreo while singing flawlessly!
I love the addition of Gospel vocals and a live marching band
You would probably appreciate the rock elements in their song Fake Love 😁
This song was also performed at the NYork Grand Central and it was amazing too. To know other performances, you can watch the sophisticated and iconic BTS performances production in 'BTS MMA 2018' and 'BTS MMA 2019' as well as watch The Truth Untold (live video). To know their names and personalities there are several videos like 'Who is BTS? The seven members of Bangtan (introduction)', and 'BTS hardships'. And please, don't miss Daewchita 🙏 and Shadow.
There is a wonderful documentary about the making of this video and song. What went into making the song is just amazing. BTS really knows how to bring people together from all over and different genres.😘💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
The person who led the dance break at the end is JIMIN - one of BTS two main dancers: J-Hope (in all black) and Jimin in all white white blue hair).
Yes, that video is a must see to really appreciate all the layers of the song!!!!

You guys should check out the BTS ON documentary about how this song was made. They have a lot of behind the scene stuff about their work. Good reaction 😊
Always glad to find your new video of BTS! Another good one :-) Thank you!
They are always amazing
Fun fact, ON hadn't been performed live until last week's LA concert. I cannot tell you how emotional it was seeing them come out on stage after a two year absence. FYI the rapline is RM, Suga and JHope. The vocal line consists of V, Jin, Jimin and Jung Kook.
Every time I watch this video I can't help but hear the Miss heard lyrics of this song when he gets the Michael told me part
I really like you guys! Thank you for being honest and mature 💜
