And in the chorus when it goes “I’m so sick of this fake love, fake love, fake love” the first past of the chorus, they do three separate moves. “See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” so they cover their eyes, ears and mouths. Which is really cool. ❤
ARMY have different chants on every BTS song. That's why ARMY is the 8th member of BTS 😊 that's why we love their live performances they let us be part of their live performance. This is the right way to react to their songs, thank you so much for this, this is so entertaining. Borahae 💜💜💜
All of this is tied to the BU. None of it is real, it’s part of the story. There’s highlight reels that you should watch as well. Each boy has something happen to them. And Jin is the main character who helps them. RM is paired with Taehyung. Jimin is paired with JHope. And Suga is paired with JK. Jin travels through different timelines to try to save each of them. But each time he travels, something different happens and the outcomes are different. It’s quite a long and very detail heavy story. But it’s very interesting and they use so many real life situations (mental health, abuse, poverty, social issues, young love, finding yourself etc.) the boys are happy when they’re together but when they’re apart, bad things happen. They piece things together with books, movies and other things philosophically to create this giant universe. There’s many many small details you will see over and over again that are very important with the different timelines and outcomes. Since it’s been a thing since their debut, there’s a lot to learn, watch and piece together. I suggest after you watch some of the highlight reels, you watch XCeleste’s explanation video which helps tremendously. And never be afraid to ask questions! As an Army who found them in 2015, I still have questions and am confused with some things. But it gets clearer I promise! Then you’ll be mind blown and appreciate their music and messages even more! ☺️💜
There's a clip of Jimin singing Fake Love at (i think) Wembley. It's when he's singing the chorus SCREAMING at the top of his lungs, putting his whole heart and soul into the words, like "FAKE LOVE! FAKE LOVE!" and it basically cause army to be like "WHO HURT YOU!?"
@@k.x.s it's from the Love Yourself tour in 2019 in Thailand and i don't think it had an official live stream;; Here's the full performance fancam (Jimin part's at 1:52) th-cam.com/video/eBP4eTlRdVI/w-d-xo.html
Jin’s Live vocals are top tier, the sound of the songs on the record/CD do not do him voice justice, Jin shines on a live stage just him & his vocals are heaven to my ears and his dancing has improved so so much from the early days of debut.
I don't think I've ever seen a performance where I thought "he seems to be having an off day". Even when he's screwing around and not even trying his voice is amazing.
30:02 yes, that army yelling Fake love back. Every title track and some of bside have fan chants. Usually label publishes lyrics with fan chants - inserts for fans to shout at particular moment. So you will hear them a lot It also makes song as cocreation by bts and army as army become a part of song
jimin is also easy to point out in dancing videos i always recognize his fluent and sharp movements it´s so elegant when he dance. where j-hope kinda talk to the people in his movements and also when he raps he looks directly at you. jimin more flirts with the camera and goes into him self and express what he feels. in fake love you can feel his sadness it´s mind-blowing. and i feel jimin is holding back when he dance in a group because he immediately stands out if he goes all out. it happened in blood sweat and tears all the fans and members was in chock at how amazing he was. all members have moments where they shine either when they sing or dance. this song i feel like was a JK song because he kinda was the link between all of them. there in airplane pt 2 and mic drop it´s j-hopes song. jimin is the best performer i have ever seen he is amazing live but in mv he has to blend in.
This was the first MV that my granddaughters showed me I was like What did I just watch. I fell head first in rabbit hole and stayed there and have been enjoying myself 💜
YES!! So stoked you chose the extended/rock version. I love that version! But it also means that it might seem a little different in the MMA 2018 performance. 💜
Fun fact : This song is one of the songs that kpop trainees perform to show their performing abilities. I've watched a survival show called i-land the trainees were struggling so hard to do V's parts even tho they're tenors they were able to do Jimin and Jin high notes but they struggled with Taehyung's parts .they said the notes were too high for them that some of them got eliminated because of it so imagine V's struggles he's literally a baritone , BTS vocal coach said that during fake love era taehyung was trying his best to go as high as the others and he did well .
Yes all BTS videos are arc ,connected with each other ..someone who start from 0 and picking Spring Day ..wont understand the deeply meaning ..Thank you for being patience and try to understand our stories from this music videos plus we learn a lot in different Areas . i hope you like the meaning of Fake Love ....But of course you can interpreter as you like as well ,,,,BTS dont limit thoughts ,,,,,Borahae
I have watched the dance practice about 16 times and I catch a new thing every single time. Also didn't know that there was a music video to my favourite remix of Fake Love so I'm glad I found that out today!
Ohh so that's why it kinda sounded different, I totally looked closely if it's the official MV. So it's a different version, I'm not that familiar with it but it's fine, you have a variation of what to listen to. Thanks so much for this John! I love that you incorporate different things in one reaction - the MV, explanation, dance practice and live. It's an all-in-one package! Love this. Thank you!! And yeah omg I love snickers too!!!! LOL!
I love this format. It really puts everything together. I wish that BTS and this song was around when I was very young. How many of us would have avoided heartbreak if we had not tried to remake, reinvent or reimagine ourselves for someone else just to make a relationship work. I love that the phrase upside down says “I’m fine”. We are fine and enough just the way we are. It’s a beautiful song and one of my favourites. I had never seen this extended version before but it’s fantastic. I love that you enjoy their videos with your daughter. You’re obviously a great dad! 💜🙏
Cheryl thank you so much for saying so! I tried to be the best dad I can for sure to my two lovely little daughters! I totally agree I wish I got into bts sooner in life but honestly I think the music finds us at the perfect time! Hope you have an amazing day!
Thank you for your appreciative reactions to BTS as always! Love the way you reacted to their song MV, Explanation, Dance Practice and finally Live performance like a total package. I'm sure most of us love to see your reactions to every aspect of BTS musicality and choreography.
A couple things that personally relate (song not BU) are the scenes of Jimin, in the room, where the floor is almost painted over, like he is painted into a corner and the one of V in the hall because all the cell phones are lit I up on the wall but the picture frames are empty, no real people just social media.
You talked about their foot work and wondered if the members do boxing. JK actually loves boxing. I think he's the only member does it regularly. One time he even boxed with his coach after the concert in Las Vegas. Too much energy to kill. 🤣
Since it's MMA 2018 week Idol must be in here at some point. I reeeally want to advocate for watching XCeleste's explanation video as well as DKDKTV's. That's because while the latter concentrates on the cultural aspects, the first one concentrates on all the BTS related details (XCeleste's BTS knowledge is absolutely insane!). That also means that they hardly overlap which gives you a more nuanced picture of this important song. 💜
Great reaction and love the format…Such a powerful song. They take choreography, music, their talent and passion and we get to enjoy the result! I watch dance practices several times and see something different each time and focus on the member that is not in the center position.
the piano beat u wanted to know about is suga - first love every beat u hear in the background is by BTS if u wanna hear V hit a high note listen to stigma he hits a very big high note at the end
Yep, technically V has the largest voice range! From his insanely great low notes to his incredible high notes, just so amazing to hear! His voice is so rare!
kpop idols before they debut they train 3-5 years. After their debut, they learned to sing and dance 15 hours a day. therefore their dance is very synchronized. can imagine a day 15 hours.
I Love Everything about BTS! This song reminds me of their concert in Las Vegas NV. They sang this song and Us Army sang Fake Love back. It was so Amazing, Freaking Toodles! Thank you for your reaction on Fake Love, I like the way you lay out your mv with practice, live performance, etc. Thank You! 💜👍
Thanks for the reaction. Appreciate how you take it so seriously. Yes Jimin sometimes sings in low and raspy voice. If interested you could try watching Jimin high notes and Raspy vocals by Jem and Jimin Killing Voice :) in 2018 his Fake Love was first legendary fancam by MPD for Mnet M-Countdown and surpassed 80 millions views on TH-cam thus making it the most viewed K-pop solo fancam in history. It was the winner of best content in Mnet's'2018 M2 Year-end Awards'.
Have you seen the metal cover for this song? If not, here you go ;) BTW, BTS reacted to the cover and JK said he wanted to go to their concert, they really liked it. Metal cover by Lies Behind Your Eyes: th-cam.com/video/kdjhmGNlKWs/w-d-xo.html BTS reaction (min 7:25) : th-cam.com/video/JewlhY8DGTI/w-d-xo.html
At these shows the crowds are so loud singing along and screaming they have to mute them a bit when they play BTS live award show performance (same goes for their concert DVDs). So ,yes, that the audience you are hearing singing along.
Me watching this young man discovering the Bangtan Universe. I always love how amazed they get when they realize that there's a whole fiction story crossing the background of all bts albumes and music videos...
Fake love resonated with me as well. In the past, I knew it was all fake love, but I didn't know enough to love myself instead so I just continued it. Until, like in the video, the dam broke, everything went to sh*T, and burst into flames. My second favorite MV
I LOVE the fact that you do the 4 versions of the song, like this, because really, until a person has watched all that, it's difficult to really appreciate & understand the amount of thought, time, genius, work, love for music, artistry, theater & their dedication to excellence in entertainment, the amount of beauty they put into everything they do. Understanding the lyrics is essential to appreciating so much about the guys themselves ! The guy who brought them together, insisted from the beginning that the group should write their own songs from their own experiences because he said he thought the 7 guy's generation (the youth) needed a group who'd speak for them & how they feel about things. You were so smart to do it this way, really. Automatically I've subscribed !
Fake Love is the song that made me realize that the person I was with for 7 1\2 years wasn't the one I was supposed to be with and make me rethink about how I should do more self care and loving myself more. The lyric I really like in this song is Suga's verse "Love, What the heck is Love? If its all fake love".
That piano song in theory video's background is on Hightlight Reel of BTS first, and then same piano was on intro of Tear by BTS This kinda 'stadium' live performance reduces the volume of the microphone during the mixing process. You can often see the difference between watching it in person and the live streaming or DVD recording. The sound of the audience is so loud and strong that it seems like they are mixing the live volume down to make the best of the singer's voice. In addition, the larger the size of the concert hall, the longer the delay of the sound of the audience on the third floor or higher. Therefore, hope you remind that the sound of the audience and live sounds are smaller on DVD(HD+ streaming) than on-site fancam.
As a metal guy I really think you would like this metal cover of Fake Love by Lies Behind Your Eyes. BTS actually filmed a TH-cam video of them watching covers people had made of BTS songs. They were really impressed and there was some commentary that they should do it that way. I cannot recall if it was Hobi with the comment but given the metal in More it would be interesting to speculate if a seed was planted. The link appears to be broken but if you search BTS Fake Love metal it comes right up. The music you asked about is from the Love Yourself highlight reel.
Son Sung-deuk (Mr Son) is the "mastermind" of BTS choreo also a performance director of the company. BTS has other choreographers but you see Mr Son a lot in behind the scene & he has been with BTS since very early debut stage till now. Jimin not just the vocal but if you focus only one him for this song's dance, the energy he threw in for each move was insane!
BTS are always amazing performers, but for this performance in particular they all sounded IMMACULATE. So freaking good!!! Fake Love is actually the song that got me into BTS. 🤍
btw, "Face Yourself" is BTS japanese album title. It released after the second album love yourself trilogy (tear). The album contain some songs from 2 love yourself albums (her and tear) +spring day with Japanese language or japanese version and some of their new japanese song such as "intro : ringwandering", "crystal snow", "let go" and "outro : crack"
Everybody gets excited every time they see the bars of chocolate lolz,you need to watch BU to understand about that…do it! You promised but I don’t see anything yet.nothing of this happened to them lolz,it’s part of the videos (yes all of them are connected) and also part of the BU..
Yes there is a fictional storyline that runs through many of their MV's called the Bangtan Universe or BU. The storyline doesn't connect to the lyrics of the songs necessarily, just the imagery. Jimin's seizures are part of the fictional storyline. You kind of jumped in to the middle of the story so it will be hard for it to make much sense to you. ...It's pretty complex. Everything xCeleste was talking about was fictional. BigHit has made such a detailed and complex storyline from very early on with so many hidden clues everywhere. They have a team of choreographers now (and also use outside choreographers), but in the early days it was their current performance director Son Sun Deuk who created the dances and oversaw practices. Fake Love was choreographed by Keone Madrid. Tae can hit the high notes too even though he is a Baritone. You should hear him in one of his solo songs Stigma...wow. In the part where Suga goes down the line and each of the guys grab at each other, there was a live where RM accidentally ripped JK's shirt wide open....hilarious. It's unbelievable how they can pull off such stable vocals while still doing intense choreo. Live performances are my favourite too....I like them better than the studio versions. Thanks for reacting.
Loving the research & preparation done & the eclectic reaction. There is appreciation & education for all aspects. Music, lyrics, footwork, artwork. There are clips I've never seen and I've seen alot. Appreciate the all in one so much
I feel connected to Fake Love to the point it makes me a little emotional because I can relate it to my current relationships in life. Pretending to be happy to not worry those around you. Depression can be a heck of a thing haha. You may love someone but it might be the wrong kind of love, if you admit to it, your entire life can fall apart over it. Goes hand in hand with the "Fake it till ya make it"
Oh and also, RM said in an interview once, that since Kpop idols don't use instruments onstage, they use dance to show the musicality in the performance. Their bodies are the instruments. And I live how you hype Jin alot. He's my bias.
Heck yes Laura! Did we just become best friends!? Jin is my Bias too! I love the way he thinks and honestly when he stands out in a song, he REALLY stands out and I love that!
It's all part of the BU 😁 the team who is doing all the storylines for BTS is genius x100000000! To link everything, like they'd know it's going to be useful on their future MVs is just on another level! Ps: it's an exlanation video where it tied to other MV that are also part of the BU. Pps: MR SON is their main choreographer. He's been their choreographer since the beginning during training period up until now.
Thank you, great that you loved the song, the mv, the explanation, the dance practice. I love watching the dance practices because I can see clearly the whole group. In the live performances the camera usually follows the person singing so you miss what the others are doing. I can think of some reasons why their dance performances are so next-level: a) several years of living and working together and having such a great group dynamic; b) relentless determination to be the best, therefore hours and hours of practice, plus a few more hours for Jin; c) their choreographer is a creative genius; and most importantly, d) the laser beam of J-hope's attention. They do the practice, review it on the monitors and critique, do the practice again, review again, repeat until they are satisfied. A memorable clip of J-hope in dance teacher mode shows him demonstrating the steps while doing the count. The steps included a tumbling move and J-hope's count didn't even hitch. You should watch some of their earliest songs, I love the fierce looks on their baby faces and Jimin has a raspy growl that is so cute. In the same way that you recognise J-hope by his moves even without seeing his face, I recognise Jin's lines by the quality of his voice in all their different nuances.
I would not have recommended the explanation which is to the bts storyline that runs to all the music videos marked as BU content. You have to watch the story in order. I gave you a link to the document that has the full order of the videos in prior comments fyi.
If you take a look at the scene with Taehyung you will see the words “Save Me” on the wall. If you flip it upside down it changes to “I’m Fine”. Two of the other songs on the album.
My favorite performance of this is still the very first time they performed it live. It was at the BBMAs and the song was released just a couple days before but ARMY still came up with a totally cool fanchant to go along with it. This performance was AMAZING!! They sang and danced so hard for this American awards show and showed why ARMY believes in them so much. I was so proud of them. I still have stars in my eyes when I remember that performance!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
There are layers upon layers of connections to all symbols and moments, and this video does a really good job of scratching that first surface. For instance -- the flower that Jin tried to protect also is linked to him protecting the members (the WHOLE story line is about their connection) and the members being represented as the petals in other videos.
As a true army for MANY years i recommend nothing. Every song rings different based on life experiences, I would just say listen more. Know you are not alone. Everyone experiences life at their own pace. BTS just found a way to put it to music which is amazing. Studied music my whole life (43 years) and they still teach me, which is exciting!
Their dance choreography amazes me everytime they have a new dance choreo. The execution is so flawless. I remember again an old clip here in yt where Jin was asked to sing a song during his brother's wedding and the funny Jin responded "I can't sing love song coz the love song I knew is Fake Love." Lol 🤣🤣🤣
BTS performed a song called Perfect Man. It is a cover song but the performance is so fun to watch. They all performed beautifully but JK and Jimin shined so bright in it. Jimin even shows off his little growl while singing. RM could not make it to that performance so J-Hope stepped up and did the rap which was all in English and he crushed it!!
V has a song when his sing really high it called stigma in BTS album wings I really recommend you to react to their solo songs in this album. It's the same album that conclude Jimins lie,Jungkooks begin, sugas first love,Jin's awake ,j-hope mama and Arms reflection....💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
All of these are fictitious and are a part of their BU or Bangtan Universe storyline. There are songs and MVs that are related to the BU story, it usually has a BU logo at the beginning or at the end. Apart from these, there are also related contents told through their Notes (inserts in the Love Yourself series albums) as well as short films and webtoons. XCeleste also has a BU summary updated till 2020 I think so that will help you get familiar with the story since it will take a lot of time to read up and watch the contents. :D
Man you are deeeeeeeep in the BU storyline (although out of MV order) and don't even realize just how much you have already seen now. If I were you I would stop now and go back to the beginning and watch the BU music video list in order first, THEN watch any explanation/theory videos such as XCELESTE last. Half the fun of the BU is trying to figure out what it all means and how it connects. XCELESTE videos assume that you've already seen the music videos, prologue etc and she fills in some of the blanks using various BTS resources to connect the dots and give her theory. So right now you're watching a bunch of major spoilers since you haven't started the BU journey from the beginning yet.
I am glad you did this reaction. Fake Love is an iconic song, the live version is amazing. I was glad to see it live along with the memorable JK abs of course (i have a screenshot of that) Thank you, John.
jin always pops off on fake love and permission to dance live tbh, those are two of my favorites for his voice and yeah, tae has apparently the most vocal range in the group even though he tends to go more lower
Ahhh you listened to the rock version of it! I adore this version. When I went to their concert in LA last November, they did a mashup of Fake Love and Blood Sweat and Tears, and it was SO good live!
32:46 lol that’s bc we hear his live voice a lot more in this part. The bts audio engineering team is top notch and it seems like they trick even experienced ears into thinking this is a m full song that’s mostly live… but it’s almost impossible to hear some of their actual live vocals … and the easiest tell when it comes to bts audio engineering is that the more effect they put on the less texture in their voices. The Chorus is all track for the “fake love.. there’s zero texture to their voices and no natural fluctuations since they’re jerking movements as they sing… the rap line and jungkooks voices don’t have a ton of effects here and you can tell bc you can hear them moving and jungkooks vocal texture and obvious volume moves as he moves… tae and Jin we hear the least and of their pure natural voices and jimins goes in and out between his live voice and heavy effects or just track… especially jimin and tae both sing with a lot of texture to their voices naturally… which only makes it more obvious but once you hear their voices off stage like acapella and stuff I’m sure it will be easier to tell…but the members you kinda know the least about seem to be the ones you’re not able to really hear them yet… but you will. This is only for this performance ya know it changes with all their concerts and performances and they always want to sing full live but they also want to give the best performances that they can… they’re quite overworked and exhausted at this time… we know they can all sing and dance and rap top tier level…. But technology also helps when it’s needed… if you watch rise of bangtan you’re going to hear a lot more and really understand their vocals more… I know you said you were gonna do it a few weeks ago and haven’t seen anything about it so who knows lol same with the main vocalist jungkook video or the jungkook king of acapella video.. but oh well lol I know he’s not in you’re top 5 favorite members… so maybe less interesting for you.. but he’s still part of the group that’s all
I highly recommend a scream-metal cover of this song on TH-cam by "Lies Behind Your Eyes", which I believe is a Florida-based band.... They've done the best BTS cover BY FAR, because 1) these absolute KINGS learned all the Korean lyrics instead of making up their own English lyrics like most cover groups do; and 2) it's a killer cover, one that even blew BTS away when they heard it. JK said he wanted to go see them live, and Suga said he'd love it if someday all the members learned enough instruments to play their own song like that, too
Just wanna say that as a longtime ARMY (since 2016) i’m really enjoying your reactions. Most youtube reactors just play the music video, fake-act excited/loving it but add no comments to what they are watching, the lyrics/message and their reaction video abruptly ends as soon as the bts music video does. All they do is ask you to hit the like and subscribe button 😐. Unfortunately, there are some fans that may be new and only wanna see people gushing over the group without realizing it’s not genuine. Most of those bts reaction channels have over 100K subscribers and are the fakest people i’ve ever seen. I love that you watch the music video, explanations, and live performance of the song all in one. Please keep it up with your BTS journey! Stay real. The real fans always notice and your channel will spread by word-of-mouth organically. It’ll grow just like BTS did naturally. By the way if you wanna get shocked by V’s range watch him perform Stigma, his solo song, live in concert if you haven’t. He hits the highest of notes towards the end while singing with his low,deep voice at the beginning.
Raya! thank you so much for the kind words! for real I love doing these and love discovering new music that I might not have given a chance if not for some very persistence and persuasive friends of mine! I'm very thankful to them! I cant wait to hear that song! I've heard a few people suggest it so hopefully its on the list soon!
@@JohnReavesLive I’m was more of a rock/alt rock/punk music fan growing up originally (bands like Minor threat, Nirvana, Sex Pistols , Joy Division, Jane’s Addiction, Sonic Youth, Arcade Fire etc) but thank god I had people in my life who introduced me to different genres of music. I just happened to start listening to BTS on my own out of curiosity and found them to be interesting at first but then dove deep especially into their first albums and realized they were VERY punk at heart. Just wrapped into a different package. All it takes is an open mind when it comes to music. Again, thanks for listening to them and hopefully your followers that don’t know BTS watch your reactions.
Well, you will have been inundated with info about original versions and MV meaning. It’s BTS, it’s going to be deep. Sometimes in the BU, the songs might actually be straightforward even though the MVs are not. Probably why there’s more about the MV out there than the song itself. I love the rock version personally and the Fake love choreography is so creative . Truly all the elements of the performance of this song demonstrates how undeniably outstanding they are. Wow, MMA2018, another treat! 👌
Son Sungdeok. The best choreographer. They had him since they first started and grew with them. They’re like family now. They do hire outside choreographers sometimes but Mr. Son is their main man.
And in the chorus when it goes “I’m so sick of this fake love, fake love, fake love” the first past of the chorus, they do three separate moves. “See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” so they cover their eyes, ears and mouths. Which is really cool. ❤
ARMY have different chants on every BTS song. That's why ARMY is the 8th member of BTS 😊 that's why we love their live performances they let us be part of their live performance.
This is the right way to react to their songs, thank you so much for this, this is so entertaining.

Ah thank you so much for saying so! I love doing these!!
All of this is tied to the BU. None of it is real, it’s part of the story. There’s highlight reels that you should watch as well. Each boy has something happen to them.

But each time he travels, something different happens and the outcomes are different. It’s quite a long and very detail heavy story. But it’s very interesting and they use so many real life situations (mental health, abuse, poverty, social issues, young love, finding yourself etc.) the boys are happy when they’re together but when they’re apart, bad things happen. They piece things together with books, movies and other things philosophically to create this giant universe. There’s many many small details you will see over and over again that are very important with the different timelines and outcomes. Since it’s been a thing since their debut, there’s a lot to learn, watch and piece together. I suggest after you watch some of the highlight reels, you watch XCeleste’s explanation video which helps tremendously. And never be afraid to ask questions! As an Army who found them in 2015, I still have questions and am confused with some things. But it gets clearer I promise! Then you’ll be mind blown and appreciate their music and messages even more! ☺️💜
There's a clip of Jimin singing Fake Love at (i think) Wembley. It's when he's singing the chorus SCREAMING at the top of his lungs, putting his whole heart and soul into the words, like "FAKE LOVE! FAKE LOVE!" and it basically cause army to be like "WHO HURT YOU!?"
where can i find this clip?

Oh my damn. Who hurt you, indeed. That was intense.
Jin always shines at live performances
Jin’s Live vocals are top tier, the sound of the songs on the record/CD do not do him voice justice, Jin shines on a live stage just him & his vocals are heaven to my ears and his dancing has improved so so much from the early days of debut.
I don't think I've ever seen a performance where I thought "he seems to be having an off day". Even when he's screwing around and not even trying his voice is amazing.
Facts
I think Jin has a really stable singing voice too.
I agree, when I saw them live I was surprised how strong, effortless his voice seemed. It carries well. Jin impressed me for sure.
Jin is ofc the second most stable Vocalist after JK
i totally agreed your opinion. jimin's growling and tough voice also fantastic i love it
The crowd chant during Fake Love is everything at their concert! So powerful!
jin is always stable at singing along with jk
30:02 yes, that army yelling Fake love back. Every title track and some of bside have fan chants. Usually label publishes lyrics with fan chants - inserts for fans to shout at particular moment. So you will hear them a lot
It also makes song as cocreation by bts and army as army become a part of song
I love this version so much 💜
It’s so good!
jimin is also easy to point out in dancing videos i always recognize his fluent and sharp movements it´s so elegant when he dance. where j-hope kinda talk to the people in his movements and also when he raps he looks directly at you. jimin more flirts with the camera and goes into him self and express what he feels. in fake love you can feel his sadness it´s mind-blowing. and i feel jimin is holding back when he dance in a group because he immediately stands out if he goes all out. it happened in blood sweat and tears all the fans and members was in chock at how amazing he was. all members have moments where they shine either when they sing or dance. this song i feel like was a JK song because he kinda was the link between all of them. there in airplane pt 2 and mic drop it´s j-hopes song. jimin is the best performer i have ever seen he is amazing live but in mv he has to blend in.
This was the first MV that my granddaughters showed me I was like What did I just watch. I fell head first in rabbit hole and stayed there and have been enjoying myself 💜
YES!! So stoked you chose the extended/rock version. I love that version! But it also means that it might seem a little different in the MMA 2018 performance. 💜
Fun fact : This song is one of the songs that kpop trainees perform to show their performing abilities. I've watched a survival show called i-land the trainees were struggling so hard to do V's parts even tho they're tenors they were able to do Jimin and Jin high notes but they struggled with Taehyung's parts .they said the notes were too high for them that some of them got eliminated because of it so imagine V's struggles he's literally a baritone , BTS vocal coach said that during fake love era taehyung was trying his best to go as high as the others and he did well .
Yes all BTS videos are arc ,connected with each other ..someone who start from 0 and picking Spring Day ..wont understand the deeply meaning ..Thank you for being patience and try to understand our stories from this music videos plus we learn a lot in different Areas . i hope you like the meaning of Fake Love ....But of course you can interpreter as you like as well ,,,,BTS dont limit thoughts ,,,,,Borahae
I have watched the dance practice about 16 times and I catch a new thing every single time. Also didn't know that there was a music video to my favourite remix of Fake Love so I'm glad I found that out today!
Ohh so that's why it kinda sounded different, I totally looked closely if it's the official MV. So it's a different version, I'm not that familiar with it but it's fine, you have a variation of what to listen to. Thanks so much for this John! I love that you incorporate different things in one reaction - the MV, explanation, dance practice and live. It's an all-in-one package! Love this. Thank you!! And yeah omg I love snickers too!!!! LOL!
Yeah it’s the rock version !! You can listen to it on the love yourself answer album :) the 2 mv complete each other
I’ve never seen this version either. I didn’t know it existed but I’m glad I’ve seen it.
I love this format. It really puts everything together. I wish that BTS and this song was around when I was very young. How many of us would have avoided heartbreak if we had not tried to remake, reinvent or reimagine ourselves for someone else just to make a relationship work. I love that the phrase upside down says “I’m fine”. We are fine and enough just the way we are. It’s a beautiful song and one of my favourites. I had never seen this extended version before but it’s fantastic.
I love that you enjoy their videos with your daughter. You’re obviously a great dad! 💜🙏
Cheryl thank you so much for saying so! I tried to be the best dad I can for sure to my two lovely little daughters!
I totally agree I wish I got into bts sooner in life but honestly I think the music finds us at the perfect time!
Hope you have an amazing day!
Thank you for your appreciative reactions to BTS as always!
Love the way you reacted to their song MV, Explanation, Dance Practice and finally Live performance like a total package. I'm sure most of us love to see your reactions to every aspect of BTS musicality and choreography.
A couple things that personally relate (song not BU) are the scenes of Jimin, in the room, where the floor is almost painted over, like he is painted into a corner and the one of V in the hall because all the cell phones are lit I up on the wall but the picture frames are empty, no real people just social media.
Jimin has always said this song always exhausts him. They are soo good. I just love watching your journey! Can't wait for more Army friend! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
You talked about their foot work and wondered if the members do boxing. JK actually loves boxing. I think he's the only member does it regularly. One time he even boxed with his coach after the concert in Las Vegas. Too much energy to kill. 🤣
Since it's MMA 2018 week Idol must be in here at some point. I reeeally want to advocate for watching XCeleste's explanation video as well as DKDKTV's. That's because while the latter concentrates on the cultural aspects, the first one concentrates on all the BTS related details (XCeleste's BTS knowledge is absolutely insane!). That also means that they hardly overlap which gives you a more nuanced picture of this important song. 💜
this is the song that introduced me to BTS back in 2018
BTS has said that while performing some songs give them energy. But Fake Love takes the energy out of them. It’s a hard choreography
Great reaction and love the format…Such a powerful song. They take choreography, music, their talent and passion and we get to enjoy the result! I watch dance practices several times and see something different each time and focus on the member that is not in the center position.
I almost thought you were reacting to the original version. Anyways, this is still awesome.
Yeah lol honestly I didn’t know there was a different version but I really like this one!
the piano beat u wanted to know about is suga - first love
every beat u hear in the background is by BTS
if u wanna hear V hit a high note listen to stigma he hits a very big high note at the end
Yep, technically V has the largest voice range! From his insanely great low notes to his incredible high notes, just so amazing to hear! His voice is so rare!
kpop idols before they debut they train 3-5 years. After their debut, they learned to sing and dance 15 hours a day. therefore their dance is very synchronized. can imagine a day 15 hours.
I Love Everything about BTS! This song reminds me of their concert in Las Vegas NV. They sang this song and Us Army sang Fake Love back. It was so Amazing, Freaking Toodles! Thank you for your reaction on Fake Love, I like the way you lay out your mv with practice, live performance, etc. Thank You! 💜👍
Thanks for the reaction. Appreciate how you take it so seriously. Yes Jimin sometimes sings in low and raspy voice. If interested you could try watching Jimin high notes and Raspy vocals by Jem and Jimin Killing Voice :) in 2018 his Fake Love was first legendary fancam by MPD for Mnet M-Countdown and surpassed 80 millions views on TH-cam thus making it the most viewed K-pop solo fancam in history. It was the winner of best content in Mnet's'2018 M2 Year-end Awards'.
That is awesome!!! for sure I'll check that out! thanks for the suggestion!
JohnReavesLive this is the famous Fake Love fancam :) th-cam.com/video/GfX62fI1NyA/w-d-xo.html
Have you seen the metal cover for this song? If not, here you go ;)
BTW, BTS reacted to the cover and JK said he wanted to go to their concert, they really liked it.

BTS reaction (min 7:25) : th-cam.com/video/JewlhY8DGTI/w-d-xo.html
At these shows the crowds are so loud singing along and screaming they have to mute them a bit when they play BTS live award show performance (same goes for their concert DVDs). So ,yes, that the audience you are hearing singing along.
That is awesome!!!! cant wait for the 2018!!!
Loved your positive message & shout out!!🤟
Me watching this young man discovering the Bangtan Universe. I always love how amazed they get when they realize that there's a whole fiction story crossing the background of all bts albumes and music videos...
Fake love resonated with me as well. In the past, I knew it was all fake love, but I didn't know enough to love myself instead so I just continued it. Until, like in the video, the dam broke, everything went to sh*T, and burst into flames. My second favorite MV
Fake love is legendary
This is the song that got me into BTS, forever favorite, means a lot to me...
I LOVE the fact that you do the 4 versions of the song, like this, because really, until a person has watched all that, it's difficult to really appreciate & understand the amount of thought, time, genius, work, love for music, artistry, theater & their dedication to excellence in entertainment, the amount of beauty they put into everything they do.
Understanding the lyrics is essential to appreciating so much about the guys themselves ! The guy who brought them together, insisted from the beginning that the group should write their own songs from their own experiences because he said he thought the 7 guy's generation (the youth) needed a group who'd speak for them & how they feel about things. You were so smart to do it this way, really. Automatically I've subscribed !
Fake Love is the song that made me realize that the person I was with for 7 1\2 years wasn't the one I was supposed to be with and make me rethink about how I should do more self care and loving myself more. The lyric I really like in this song is Suga's verse "Love, What the heck is Love? If its all fake love".
That piano song in theory video's background is on Hightlight Reel of BTS first, and then same piano was on intro of Tear by BTS
This kinda 'stadium' live performance reduces the volume of the microphone during the mixing process. You can often see the difference between watching it in person and the live streaming or DVD recording. The sound of the audience is so loud and strong that it seems like they are mixing the live volume down to make the best of the singer's voice. In addition, the larger the size of the concert hall, the longer the delay of the sound of the audience on the third floor or higher. Therefore, hope you remind that the sound of the audience and live sounds are smaller on DVD(HD+ streaming) than on-site fancam.
You will hear more of those Jimin notes in Tony Montana with Suga. Must watch! 😉
Still my favorite, and IMHO their best song.
As a metal guy I really think you would like this metal cover of Fake Love by Lies Behind Your Eyes. BTS actually filmed a TH-cam video of them watching covers people had made of BTS songs. They were really impressed and there was some commentary that they should do it that way. I cannot recall if it was Hobi with the comment but given the metal in More it would be interesting to speculate if a seed was planted. The link appears to be broken but if you search BTS Fake Love metal it comes right up.
The music you asked about is from the Love Yourself highlight reel.
Son Sung-deuk (Mr Son) is the "mastermind" of BTS choreo also a performance director of the company.
BTS has other choreographers but you see Mr Son a lot in behind the scene & he has been with BTS since very early debut stage till now.
Jimin not just the vocal but if you focus only one him for this song's dance, the energy he threw in for each move was insane!
BTS are always amazing performers, but for this performance in particular they all sounded IMMACULATE. So freaking good!!! Fake Love is actually the song that got me into BTS. 🤍
btw, "Face Yourself" is BTS japanese album title. It released after the second album love yourself trilogy (tear). The album contain some songs from 2 love yourself albums (her and tear) +spring day with Japanese language or japanese version and some of their new japanese song such as "intro : ringwandering", "crystal snow", "let go" and "outro : crack"
If I may recommend a song so often overlooked : 'let me know' is amazing live! Especially the red bullet performance
I love your reaction, ur so detail.
Everybody gets excited every time they see the bars of chocolate lolz,you need to watch BU to understand about that…do it! You promised but I don’t see anything yet.nothing of this happened to them lolz,it’s part of the videos (yes all of them are connected) and also part of the BU..
Yes there is a fictional storyline that runs through many of their MV's called the Bangtan Universe or BU. The storyline doesn't connect to the lyrics of the songs necessarily, just the imagery. Jimin's seizures are part of the fictional storyline. You kind of jumped in to the middle of the story so it will be hard for it to make much sense to you. ...It's pretty complex. Everything xCeleste was talking about was fictional. BigHit has made such a detailed and complex storyline from very early on with so many hidden clues everywhere. They have a team of choreographers now (and also use outside choreographers), but in the early days it was their current performance director Son Sun Deuk who created the dances and oversaw practices. Fake Love was choreographed by Keone Madrid. Tae can hit the high notes too even though he is a Baritone. You should hear him in one of his solo songs Stigma...wow. In the part where Suga goes down the line and each of the guys grab at each other, there was a live where RM accidentally ripped JK's shirt wide open....hilarious. It's unbelievable how they can pull off such stable vocals while still doing intense choreo. Live performances are my favourite too....I like them better than the studio versions. Thanks for reacting.
Loving the research & preparation done & the eclectic reaction. There is appreciation & education for all aspects. Music, lyrics, footwork, artwork. There are clips I've never seen and I've seen alot. Appreciate the all in one so much
In the MMA 2018 performance, the crow is so loud
I cant wait to hear it!!! :)
I feel connected to Fake Love to the point it makes me a little emotional because I can relate it to my current relationships in life. Pretending to be happy to not worry those around you. Depression can be a heck of a thing haha. You may love someone but it might be the wrong kind of love, if you admit to it, your entire life can fall apart over it. Goes hand in hand with the "Fake it till ya make it"
Ohhhh the Rock Version. Love this version so much! All the stories are from the BU and are fictional.
It’s part of the BU story line.
BTS you can be real with us!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
So looking forward to see your 2018 MMA reaction. You’re fun to watch. 💜
The rock vibe version of Fake Love is one of my faves!
Oh and also, RM said in an interview once, that since Kpop idols don't use instruments onstage, they use dance to show the musicality in the performance. Their bodies are the instruments. And I live how you hype Jin alot. He's my bias.
Heck yes Laura! Did we just become best friends!? Jin is my Bias too! I love the way he thinks and honestly when he stands out in a song, he REALLY stands out and I love that!
It's all part of the BU 😁 the team who is doing all the storylines for BTS is genius x100000000! To link everything, like they'd know it's going to be useful on their future MVs is just on another level!
Ps: it's an exlanation video where it tied to other MV that are also part of the BU.
Pps: MR SON is their main choreographer. He's been their choreographer since the beginning during training period up until now.
Mr. Son is a genius! I love his work! And for real I can’t wait to dive into the BU!!
Thank you, great that you loved the song, the mv, the explanation, the dance practice. I love watching the dance practices because I can see clearly the whole group. In the live performances the camera usually follows the person singing so you miss what the others are doing. I can think of some reasons why their dance performances are so next-level: a) several years of living and working together and having such a great group dynamic; b) relentless determination to be the best, therefore hours and hours of practice, plus a few more hours for Jin; c) their choreographer is a creative genius; and most importantly, d) the laser beam of J-hope's attention. They do the practice, review it on the monitors and critique, do the practice again, review again, repeat until they are satisfied. A memorable clip of J-hope in dance teacher mode shows him demonstrating the steps while doing the count. The steps included a tumbling move and J-hope's count didn't even hitch. You should watch some of their earliest songs, I love the fierce looks on their baby faces and Jimin has a raspy growl that is so cute. In the same way that you recognise J-hope by his moves even without seeing his face, I recognise Jin's lines by the quality of his voice in all their different nuances.
I would not have recommended the explanation which is to the bts storyline that runs to all the music videos marked as BU content. You have to watch the story in order. I gave you a link to the document that has the full order of the videos in prior comments fyi.
If you take a look at the scene with Taehyung you will see the words “Save Me” on the wall. If you flip it upside down it changes to “I’m Fine”. Two of the other songs on the album.
Their live vocals are just amazing, their concerts I've been to is the best concerts I've ever been to
The extended version definitely has a rock vibe to it. 😁💜
It really does!!! I love it!
I love that you are doing your reactions this way. I love watching you💜💜
Love this damn song. Love watching you as always
My favorite performance of this is still the very first time they performed it live. It was at the BBMAs and the song was released just a couple days before but ARMY still came up with a totally cool fanchant to go along with it. This performance was AMAZING!! They sang and danced so hard for this American awards show and showed why ARMY believes in them so much. I was so proud of them. I still have stars in my eyes when I remember that performance!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Welcome to the Bantang Universe storyline. Its wild, scary and involves time travel...or more accurately parallel universes and timelines.
As a Love Yourself: Tear Army, this song and singularity sucked me straight down the rabbit hole.
There are layers upon layers of connections to all symbols and moments, and this video does a really good job of scratching that first surface.
For instance -- the flower that Jin tried to protect also is linked to him protecting the members (the WHOLE story line is about their connection) and the members being represented as the petals in other videos.
FIRST IN FINALLY!!!!! GREAT JOB!
As a true army for MANY years i recommend nothing. Every song rings different based on life experiences, I would just say listen more. Know you are not alone. Everyone experiences life at their own pace. BTS just found a way to put it to music which is amazing. Studied music my whole life (43 years) and they still teach me, which is exciting!
Heck yes!!! Lol thanks for getting here so fast for real I appreciate it!
I love watching your reactions💜💜💜
Their dance choreography amazes me everytime they have a new dance choreo. The execution is so flawless.
I remember again an old clip here in yt where Jin was asked to sing a song during his brother's wedding and the funny Jin responded "I can't sing love song coz the love song I knew is Fake Love." Lol 🤣🤣🤣
BTS performed a song called Perfect Man. It is a cover song but the performance is so fun to watch. They all performed beautifully but JK and Jimin shined so bright in it. Jimin even shows off his little growl while singing. RM could not make it to that performance so J-Hope stepped up and did the rap which was all in English and he crushed it!!
You are awesome, John! Love this! 💜
I really love this format: mv, explanation, dance
I love your compilation of all the videos of this song!! Thank you so much John! 💜
V has a song when his sing really high it called stigma in BTS album wings I really recommend you to react to their solo songs in this album. It's the same album that conclude Jimins lie,Jungkooks begin, sugas first love,Jin's awake ,j-hope mama and Arms reflection....💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
All of these are fictitious and are a part of their BU or Bangtan Universe storyline. There are songs and MVs that are related to the BU story, it usually has a BU logo at the beginning or at the end. Apart from these, there are also related contents told through their Notes (inserts in the Love Yourself series albums) as well as short films and webtoons. XCeleste also has a BU summary updated till 2020 I think so that will help you get familiar with the story since it will take a lot of time to read up and watch the contents. :D
Man you are deeeeeeeep in the BU storyline (although out of MV order) and don't even realize just how much you have already seen now. If I were you I would stop now and go back to the beginning and watch the BU music video list in order first, THEN watch any explanation/theory videos such as XCELESTE last. Half the fun of the BU is trying to figure out what it all means and how it connects. XCELESTE videos assume that you've already seen the music videos, prologue etc and she fills in some of the blanks using various BTS resources to connect the dots and give her theory. So right now you're watching a bunch of major spoilers since you haven't started the BU journey from the beginning yet.
The xceleste is all BU tie-ins and explanations. Nothing to do with their real lives.
I love that it is the extended version.
BTS siempre son mejores en vivo!
Jungkook is a really good boxer and now Jimin is learning it too with Jungkook
Oh that's the instrumental ver.. Of fake love
I am glad you did this reaction. Fake Love is an iconic song, the live version is amazing. I was glad to see it live along with the memorable JK abs of course (i have a screenshot of that) Thank you, John.
Btw this is not the original music video and music this the rock remix of the song
jin always pops off on fake love and permission to dance live tbh, those are two of my favorites for his voice
and yeah, tae has apparently the most vocal range in the group even though he tends to go more lower
Ahhh you listened to the rock version of it! I adore this version. When I went to their concert in LA last November, they did a mashup of Fake Love and Blood Sweat and Tears, and it was SO good live!
🥰😍💜 "fake love 🎶 fake love 🎶🎶..."
Late to the party, but did anyone else's heart break a bit when John got excited about the Snickers? I was like "oh honey..." lol
32:46 lol that’s bc we hear his live voice a lot more in this part. The bts audio engineering team is top notch and it seems like they trick even experienced ears into thinking this is a m full song that’s mostly live… but it’s almost impossible to hear some of their actual live vocals … and the easiest tell when it comes to bts audio engineering is that the more effect they put on the less texture in their voices. The Chorus is all track for the “fake love.. there’s zero texture to their voices and no natural fluctuations since they’re jerking movements as they sing… the rap line and jungkooks voices don’t have a ton of effects here and you can tell bc you can hear them moving and jungkooks vocal texture and obvious volume moves as he moves… tae and Jin we hear the least and of their pure natural voices and jimins goes in and out between his live voice and heavy effects or just track… especially jimin and tae both sing with a lot of texture to their voices naturally… which only makes it more obvious but once you hear their voices off stage like acapella and stuff I’m sure it will be easier to tell…but the members you kinda know the least about seem to be the ones you’re not able to really hear them yet… but you will. This is only for this performance ya know it changes with all their concerts and performances and they always want to sing full live but they also want to give the best performances that they can… they’re quite overworked and exhausted at this time… we know they can all sing and dance and rap top tier level…. But technology also helps when it’s needed… if you watch rise of bangtan you’re going to hear a lot more and really understand their vocals more… I know you said you were gonna do it a few weeks ago and haven’t seen anything about it so who knows lol same with the main vocalist jungkook video or the jungkook king of acapella video.. but oh well lol I know he’s not in you’re top 5 favorite members… so maybe less interesting for you.. but he’s still part of the group that’s all
I highly recommend a scream-metal cover of this song on TH-cam by "Lies Behind Your Eyes", which I believe is a Florida-based band.... They've done the best BTS cover BY FAR, because 1) these absolute KINGS learned all the Korean lyrics instead of making up their own English lyrics like most cover groups do; and 2) it's a killer cover, one that even blew BTS away when they heard it. JK said he wanted to go see them live, and Suga said he'd love it if someday all the members learned enough instruments to play their own song like that, too
the piano melody that u asked is taken from BTS highlight reels series (from love yourself short series. is also part of BU)
Just wanna say that as a longtime ARMY (since 2016) i’m really enjoying your reactions. Most youtube reactors just play the music video, fake-act excited/loving it but add no comments to what they are watching, the lyrics/message and their reaction video abruptly ends as soon as the bts music video does. All they do is ask you to hit the like and subscribe button 😐. Unfortunately, there are some fans that may be new and only wanna see people gushing over the group without realizing it’s not genuine. Most of those bts reaction channels have over 100K subscribers and are the fakest people i’ve ever seen. I love that you watch the music video, explanations, and live performance of the song all in one. Please keep it up with your BTS journey! Stay real. The real fans always notice and your channel will spread by word-of-mouth organically. It’ll grow just like BTS did naturally.
By the way if you wanna get shocked by V’s range watch him perform Stigma, his solo song, live in concert if you haven’t. He hits the highest of notes towards the end while singing with his low,deep voice at the beginning.
Raya! thank you so much for the kind words! for real I love doing these and love discovering new music that I might not have given a chance if not for some very persistence and persuasive friends of mine! I'm very thankful to them!
I cant wait to hear that song! I've heard a few people suggest it so hopefully its on the list soon!
@@JohnReavesLive I’m was more of a rock/alt rock/punk music fan growing up originally (bands like Minor threat, Nirvana, Sex Pistols , Joy Division, Jane’s Addiction, Sonic Youth, Arcade Fire etc) but thank god I had people in my life who introduced me to different genres of music. I just happened to start listening to BTS on my own out of curiosity and found them to be interesting at first but then dove deep especially into their first albums and realized they were VERY punk at heart. Just wrapped into a different package. All it takes is an open mind when it comes to music. Again, thanks for listening to them and hopefully your followers that don’t know BTS watch your reactions.
Well, you will have been inundated with info about original versions and MV meaning. It’s BTS, it’s going to be deep. Sometimes in the BU, the songs might actually be straightforward even though the MVs are not. Probably why there’s more about the MV out there than the song itself. I love the rock version personally and the Fake love choreography is so creative . Truly all the elements of the performance of this song demonstrates how undeniably outstanding they are. Wow, MMA2018, another treat! 👌
Son Sungdeok. The best choreographer. They had him since they first started and grew with them. They’re like family now. They do hire outside choreographers sometimes but Mr. Son is their main man.
