Hey everyone - thank you all for the love and support! My next reaction will be posted on Tuesday, and it will be to the “On” music video! Right now I’m thinking that I’ll likely watch “this is BTS” by xceleste, but NOT as a reaction - it’s 15 minutes long and I just don’t think I’ll have the time in my week to edit out a reaction that long 😂 but I want to know them better, so I will watch it!! Sorry to disappoint those of you that wanted to see my reaction to it, but unfortunately, I only have time to do so much 😕
Hi Cedric! ARMY love the documentary type vids on BTS and honestly will sit through an hour long reaction video lol. We don’t mind if you pause the vid to make comments throughout the reaction either, because otherwise it would be boring if we just watched you staring at the screen the whole time and only talked at the end. It’s Your channel of course so do what you feel comfortable just wanted to give some insight/tips for the type of reactions viewers generally enjoy the most:) 💜
Oh great choice! "On" is amazing both as a song, but its choreography & video concept was 🔥👀🔥 so am looking forward to your reaction. "Black Swan" is another recommendation I am submitting for a possible reaction in the future. 😁 Funny yet cool how BTS is a group where one song leads to another and pretty soon you have fallen down the rabbit hole to the BTS universe 😜😁 but I have never regretted my own fall and am so thankful BTS is now a permenant part of my life & am proud to be Army. 💜
Tae Tae is right even though I have seen the videos maybe 30 times or more now I like seeing how new people react to information about BTS. Honestly BTS are fascinating and I love seeing people realise that and seeing them start to love BTS for more than just their performances.
Bro U need to watch DEEWANI MASTAANI MV if u like cinematography.
If you endorse Min Yoongi rap. You should check out
Deachwita
Shadow
The MV are interesting
"I'm going to learn their names" famous last words before you become ARMY.
Haha for real
You know someone is doomed the moment they utter those words. . .
That’s literally all I wanted I didn’t plan anything else I just saw Tae dancing and wanted to know his name but then I learned everyone else’s name and I know everything about them shhdhd
Seriously. I just wanted to learn their names! And then I got sucked into the black hole
@@julietangel990 Lmao! I became a fan when Dope came out and I showed the video to my friend, she was impressed by the dancing but nothing more. The next morning, 7AM she texts me: “What’s the name of the guy with the glasses and the shorts?” It was Taehyung, and the start of her journey as an ARMY. 😂😂😂
Blood, Sweat, and Tears. I don't usually recommend it to newbies because there is a ton of abstract symbolism, but you will lose your mind over the visuals.
I kinda of wrote the same thing. I can't wait until he digs in to Blood, Sweat & Tears!
I agree.
I know this is old, but since he is an actor and knows a lot about this stuff, I think he'll have no problem dissecting it! :D
I just want to jump on, hold you down and have a 9 hour BTS conversation!!! How often do we get a reactor that's actually understands what they are watching? I will say, It's so nice to have someone who understands acting, film, editing and now you tell us you were a dancer too! Gloriously Faints in your direction. You're not someone just looking for views (which I understand you want views) But you actually understand subject matter!! If you want a real a great journey where you will come out with a life experience buckle your seat belt because BTS is a great ride. TIP FOR THE DAY: Never try to learn BTS members by their hair colors or you will never learn their names. Start with learning RM, he is the leader of BTS. He is the one, at 16 years old Bang PD put all of his eggs in a basket because he believed in RM's talent. BTS was formed because of RM's talent. You should watch, Who is BTS? that video will give you an idea who is who? I can't wait for you to watch Blood, Sweat & Tears!!! It's the deep end of the pool but so much to unpack. So much to see & talk about. I will go to the corner now and sit on my hands!!!
Thank you for all your kind words! Obviously views are a factor, but I genuinely value shared experience and miss having that with live theater and being on film sets. This is a pseudo-manner or doing that, and, like you hinted at, a way to engage my own creativity, to inform, and, most importantly, to learn. Thanks for all the info as well! I’ll definitely take a look at everything!
Love your reaction! Hope you will grow to love bts as individuals as well as their art. their personalities are something else. Their discography is so diverse, it will be a journey to dive into :)
Haha you're great! 😍💜💜💜💜
@@CedricGegel1 that's why I subbed ♥
@@mpgisbtsarmybaefighting2838 same...
Actually BTS sounds the same live as the recording.
actually not, live they sound better.
When he said "Ow LOOK AT THAT!" I thought he was talking about Snickers lol. Probably the first reacter to not get surprised by the snicker bars.😂
yeah, and this is the reason I've subscribed )) He knows what he is talking about and he is talking about things which I personally haven't noticed (colour scheme), so it is interesting. Plus his voice is perfect )) Soothing one
Fun fact: there's very little cgi in this video. (only the phone turning into sand was cgi and they used cgi to make the fire look bigger but it was in fact real) you should watch the behind the scenes!
The flower petals in Jungkook’s scene are CGI and so are the huge flames in Suga’s scene.
Yesss
@@kunikuzushis The flames in Suga's scene are real, they just enhanced it to look bigger post production.
The phone dissolving into sand is also CGI. *Most* of it is not CGI, but let's try to be accurate with the information we give people.
@@morganmariex Yeah I should’ve worded that better since the fire itself was real but the bigger flame was edited in.
“I grew a flower that can’t be bloomed in a dream that can’t come true”-poetry, so beautiful yet sad sigh. The sculpture of the hands represent “See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil”. To sum it up “Fake Love” is not necessarily about another person and their fake love, it’s also about how we feel about ourselves. (Notice they look at themselves in the mirror often like talking to themselves). Basically they’re saying if you’re not true to yourself or love yourself first, then love of any kind or for anyone will always be fake. Fake Love was on the 2nd album “Love Yourself: Tear” of the Love Yourself Trilogy and follows the trilogy’s theme of self-love “Love Yourself” where in the last album “Love Yourself:Answer” you realize YOU Are the one you should love and accept the most before you can truly love anyone else. JHope/snickers, Jimin/water, Suga/fire, Jin/flower, V/phones etc is part of fictional storyline that runs throughout some of BTS’ MVs so you kind of have to start from the beginning to piece some of the meaning and connections in the MV’s together, and warning it will be confusing for newbies lol! It was flower petals flying away from Jungkook’s hand it was the flower in the glass from the intro with Jin when the room exploded. The flower is the “smereldo flower” which is an important part of the BTS universe storyline. You’ll find most BTS lyrics and visuals have very deep meanings and connections to humanity and the world we live in.
Thank you so much! That’s super helpful in understanding - I had no idea there was a whole cinematic universe to rival even Marvel 😂 I love it!
@@CedricGegel1 sure! Wait until you get into their Carl Jung influenced albums Map Of The Soul. Their live performance and stage design at Melon Music Awards 2019 for “Dionysus” combine Jungian Psychology with Greek archetypes! 🤯 looking forward to your journey into discovering BTS
What a great explanation. A quite often experience the epiphanies and "ooooh"s like when I read Harry Potter as a child. Like that feeling when you enter a world with so much happening, and with every book another layer is added and all of a sudden you get the "oooooh, now that makes sense in a whole different way". That's what I get from BTS. This video has soooooo many hidden references, metaphors, meanings ... just mind blowing how much they were able to put into one music video - and keep doing it with almost all their mv.'s.
By the way, liked your reaction, Cedric. I'm excited to see your next reaction.
Im an army for quite some time now and I love analysing the lyrics but that specific line “ i grew a flower that cant be bloomed in a dream that cant come true” is for some reason so hard for me to decipher.. i have a lot of theories on what that line actually means but I wanna ask you what does it mean in your opinion i would love to hear more insights!
@@leona3237 I think the metaphor of the “flower” and “dream” could have different meanings. To me a dream is actually a fantasy and Not Real therefore a real flower cannot actually bloom inside a dream. And the flower in MV represents the smeraldo flower which is fictional in BTS’ storyline therefore Not Real. The flower could also represent “love” and for me “Fake Love” is related to vocal line song “The Truth Untold” and the story of a man that wants to give the rare smeraldo flower (‘love’) to a woman but can’t because he did not have self-love and was hiding his true self so his dream of being loved could not be fulfilled or come true.
I really like how you analyzed this MV! RM (one of the members) said this is what "Fake love" means: "if you are not true to yourself, your love won't last forever. The love could be person to person, it could be between me and myself". Also this song is a part of the fictional storyline that runs through their music videos.
If you want to see how this MV was filmed you can watch "BTS Fake Love MV Shooting".
I think as a dancer you will be interested in "BTS Fake love dance practice", it will show better their choreography.
I don't know if you noticed, but at the back of the room with the phones it says 'SAVE ME'. If you turn that upside down, it reads 'I'M FINE'. Those are two songs of BTS that are connected. Save Me talks about being hurt and afraid and needing the support and help from someone else because you can't do it on your own (Lyrics: give me your hand, save me save me, I need your love before I fall). In I'm fine you've learned to rely on yourself instead of someone else, you'll be okay no matter what. You've accepted the pain and sadness and you're not lonely and afraid anymore (Lyrics: I'm feeling just fine, fine, fine, I'll let go of your hand now).
I also think that Fake Love is about BTS themselves, they want and have to please the fans, the general public, the company ... so they have to pretend to be happy and okay all the time, even when they're not. They create this 'pretty lie' for us. They can't always be themselves and only want to show us their happy and healthy side. They have to wear a mask. (RM also stated this in an interview once, that the most two-faced person in the world was him) They would do everything for us and don't want us to worry so they lose themselves and become our doll. So in the end, the fans love them, but not the true versions of themselves, only the version the fans and public get to see, so it's fake love.
This is exactly what I got from Fake Love.
5:32 that is jin he actually studied acting 😋
Other reactor : Oh my god, look at those snickers lol
Cedric : oh my god, the color! The contrast!
I almost fall for you Cedric. You almost got me there 😁 with your life trivia
The water and the fire are not an effect. That's real. Please check out their behind the scenes on bangtantv
and the floor really fell
Yes the drop floor is real... Is in their channel BANGTAN channel the making of this MV 👍🏼💜💜💜
Still some fans "assume" it different in others comment regarding fire is real or fake 😂... I just cant lmao 😅
@@stigma1101 i had no idea, wow!!
If I recommend one of their MV for you, BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS..
Yes...Blood Sweat and Tears please...please
up
Yes!!
Yes definitely !!!!!
Agree with that. Blood, sweat and tears
“Blood Sweat & Tears” next pls 💜
Oh, maybe he should go slowly or do we just push him in the deep in. LOL
If you're into film making, please react to BTS behind the scenes MV. They rarely use green screen and really built a set and props for their MV, so it's actually very interesting to watch. For example, the scene when the floor was falling was real, the water scene was real, the fire scene was real, etc. Maybe you can watch the behind the scene for Fake Love. This one is actually one of my favorite behind the scene video of them.
Your reactions and perspectives are very interesting to someone who knows little about moviemaking.
It's also super fun for someone who "just" (August, with the release of Dynamite) discovered BTS herself. I get nostalgic (yes, it's possible in mere months), and I relive the emotions I had when I saw these for the first time.
And I guess you've heard this a couple of times, but have a nice trip down the rabbit hole, and welcome as ARMY 😅💜
Love from a Ravenclaw, whos favourite colours are turquoise and orange (because Peta showed me how beautiful orange could be 🧡)
OM.. i love your reaction keep making more BTS videos you're very good at seeing details I'm impressed. I'm 46 years old and I love BTS
Hey thanks for reacting to BTS !
I thought some information might help you.
BTS Stand for Bangtan sonyeondan, which roughly translates to 'Bulletproof boyscouts'.
BTS has 7 members, 3 of them rappers (RM, Suga, J-Hope) and 4 vocalists (Jin, Jimin, V, Jungkook).
BTS is the most popular and appreciated k-pop group in the world with their fans called ARMY (estimated as more than 20 million of them).
BTS can rap, dance, sings and much more… They have really deep and thoughtful lyrics which they usually write themselves, they produce too and 4 of them have their own music studio. Each member has a unique story and personality and you can easily identify to them.
They debuted in 2013, but they have been 10 years together and now they’re way more than friends, they consider themselves more like a family.
All of their songs are meaningful, there is also a whole storyline that runs throughout their albums and songs which is very important to understand their lyrics and videos. Some albums are also inspired from other things like books or artists.
They really have an important place in ARMY’s hearts because they have a deep general message too which is: LOVE YOURSELF (mentioned several times in their LY albums [Her, Tear and Answer]). They spoke about that at the UN and launched the Love Myself campaign with UNICEF.
But despite their success they keep them humble and natural (as Halsey said after collaborated with them).
If you want to learn more about them, I can recommend you those videos as guides:
The seven members of BTS
th-cam.com/video/xu0IfBvZMRs/w-d-xo.html
Crash course 2020
th-cam.com/video/M40jsKiIcm8/w-d-xo.html
This one focuses more on their musical career, very interesting if you want to have a quick overview of their 'rise to fame' so to speak.
BTS// From Nobodies to Legends (2019)
th-cam.com/video/SrI4AvkABm4/w-d-xo.html
This shows how much BTS struggled at their debut but they worked hard and continued even when the times and critics were really hard.
If you’re into visual videos you should react to the ‘behind the scenes’ (eng sub on “Bangtan sub channel”) and I recommend you those few videos:
ON
Black Swan
Not today
Spring day
DNA
And if you want to check out more hip hop/rap, the rap line (aka the three rappers) actually have a lot of songs with only them together and also released own solo mixtapes, so I would recommend:
Ddaeng
Cypher 1 to 4
Outro: Tear
Ugh!
They also have Japanese songs/versions like :
Run
I need u
Stay gold
Blood Sweat & Tears
Rap line solos :
Daechwita, Last, ‘Agust D’ - by Suga aka Agust D
Do you, Joke - by RM
Daydream - by J-Hope
Vocalist line solos :
Epiphany, Moon - by Jin
Singularity, Stigma - by V
Lie, Serendipity, Filter - by Jimin
Euphoria, My time, Still with you - by Jungkook
Vocalist line song : (all vocalists without rappers)
House of cards
Dimple (live)
The truth untold (live)
Zero o’clock
This got so much longer than I expected 😅
I hope you don't mind. If you have any questions, I'll happily answer them.
See ya, and as ARMY says:
You nice, keep going 💜🤗😂
A Wealth of information you have provided.
When he said "Its a great effect..coming out of the water".....we be like nope that's not an effect u can watch its behind the scenes and thats real water ;). Also, I think it will be good if you react to the bangtan universe, an unsolved series that occurs in BTS MV's with deep meanings. An intellectual Army for sure will give you the complete list of videos to watch for from beginning to the current one. I wonder if you can crack the code :D
His is the most sincere I've ever seen someone react
You definitely need to watch BTS- IDOL music video
Wow, it’s so great to see a reactor who is really concentrating on the video and taking it all in. Loved this reaction so much!
I think you should react to the behind the scenes of the videos, I was blown away when I found out that the floor was actually disappearing, the fire, the explosion... pfft so good.
All Kpop MVs are fantastically done, but BTS/Big Hit are just a cut above. They take their MVs very seriously. There are behind the scenes videos of a lot of their MVs. And since you're a dancer... they also have dance practice videos, which we love, because you can see the entire choreo without the edits that are in the MVs.
I think you would love the ON - Kinetic Manifesto Film (which is a performance MV), and the ON Official MV (which is like a Hollywood movie). Same song in both, but totally different takes.
In the middle cut scene that was flower petals that came from the sand and floated in the air. Because if you remember in that lantern-looking case it was a flower that Jin was trying to protect when the room exploded. Also if you watch them during the dance, they are doing a lot of the monkey no see, hear and speak movements. Yes, those were phones blinking. In that same room V walks to the back arch and on the wall you see the words "Save Me" That is a reference to the story they are telling plus one of their songs. Now if you flip it upside down the words will say "I'm Fine" now. That talks about the concept of the album and also it is the sister song of "Save Me" With BTS things are not done randomly, there is usually a reason for it and sometimes we won't discover that reason until the next album or MV. Last thing: I think many of us told you about the BU, well this song has very heavy references to the BU.
You are starting to become my favorite reactor. I learn so much from you since you obviously are equipped with so much knowledge about everything related to arts. Your reactions make me appreciate BTS craft more since you see things that other people don’t
they have a behind the scenes video for all of their mvs, you can check them out if you want! you can find them in their channel BangtanTV (new ones have subs, old ones you can find them with subs on BANGTANSUBS channel).
i guess the "what music do you like" question was because bts do multiple genres, they don't stick to just one type of genre, so army could do recommendations to you based on what you usually listen to :)
i loved your reaction! it's so so soo pleasing for me that someone finally points out their facial expression! thank you so much! another plus would be that bighit doesnt really use cgi! the water and all are very much real! if you could, please react to I NEED U (original version) cus it showcases more on their acting skills! i would love to hear your comments on them~ again, thank you so much💜
I loved that video :) I didn't really pay attention to colors that much before, so it was an interesting point of view. I'm excited to follow your journey of falling into BTS's rabbit hole. I suggest their song 'Black Swan' it's awesome.
What? ur an actor, u know cinematography & films, and ur a dancer? You're so talented!
in terms of cinematography and their greatest music videos; blood sweat and tears is the one must-watch.
I love your reaction and level off analysis! I can't wait for you to get into them more. If you want to learn their names and a little bit about each member, I recommend watching "Who is BTS?: The Seven Members of Bangtan (Introduction)" by Suga and Spice!
Nice take on the vid. There is a behind the scenes on the filming I'll link in the replay. Ow and the music video is part of an ongoing fictional storyline for almost 6yrs where they place hints and connections on some of the music vids where u have to catch and figure out. And the song is a title track of the second album in the love yourself trilogy. The first one( album LY:Her) is about love like fate ( destined to be). second one( this album LY: Tear) is about losing ur self to be accepted by someone u claim to Love. The third one (LY: answer) is about u need to love yourself first to love answer. Check out there song I need u 19+ ver to see their acting. It's part of the story line so it's confusing bt u can see their acting more.
th-cam.com/video/JsoMuaewpZs/w-d-xo.html
This is one my favorite things are the easter eggs in the videos. I work on those clues like I'm Sherlock Holmes. LOL They fooled me last album. I would have bet everything I own, that the Album was going to be named Shadow. Seriously, I was sooo wrong! LOL
@@Hotshortie ur not completely wrong though the comeback trailer was interlude shadow, blackswan has a similar concept and well u know UGH but z album takes a turn at 0:00 brights up and ends on outro EGO( which is what ppl thought will be the third) ...😅 I think instead of a trilogy they might have decided to merge the last 2 concepts and make into one and name z second 7 cause of their anniversary. Bt hey its fun digging through clues, reading through a psychology book and end up being a clown 😂😂😂
The water and the fire in the music video are real 😊 BTS did not used CGI in this music video..
Wow. That surprises me, but it's very cool to hear that! That makes them braver than me... at least when the fire came out ;)
@Chris Tine you are also a subscriber of everyday Elizabeth aren’t you😂
@@AA-fn5yu yes I am ☺️ .. my friends don’t like kpop that’s why most of the time I’m here in youtube ☺️☺️☺️💜
@@ChrisTine-xu1rh omg me too~ we relate so much😂
@@AA-fn5yu hahaha omg~ we should be friends 💜☺️
This is actually one of the best BTS reaction videos I have seen in a while. Thank you !!!
Great reaction! I love watching these!💜
Wowowowowowowow your perspective is so cool!!!! İ watched a vocal coach reaction, a music producer reaction, a film producer reaction, a Fan's reaction (which consists of theories) and each had their own unique perspective of the same video/music; of BTS
İt's always so interesting to learn all these different inputs💜
you can also see the behind of there MVs ( if you going to do it go to ENG sup ones )
and thank you for the reaction hope to see more 😊💜
and when you have a video with lyrics i suggest watching to video first and than watch it again with the lyrics on 😚
Love, love your reactions. Looking forward to your next reaction.
I Just wanted to say that the quality of the video is impeccable omg
(Also loved the reaction)
I love that you use your intuition and emotional literacy to do these reviews. I really enjoy your reactions! :)
Loved watching you. Thankyou for showing our boys.
Dude this is such a great reaction and I'm only a few mins in. Def excited to see your bts journey!
ahhh just stumbled across your video and you’re a natural at this!! you can tell how genuine and interested you are!! very charismatic i love it and cant wait to see more from you :)
I Absolutely love your reaction!
Wow really loved your reaction and so good to see someone with such great appreciation and understanding of all the effort and hard work put into an MV like this... cant wait to see you react to more 💜 Added bonus you also made me laugh... so alls good lol😊💜
A big yes to these reactions. BTS 💜
Subscribed!
dude i absolutely love your editing. it's so entertaining and at the same time i also learned a lot through your perspectives as an actor & filmmaker. like i watched the fake love mv countless of times but i never made the connection of the contrasting colours. really fascinating and fun to hear your opinions. keep it up, will definitely subscribe
Loved the reaction, with all the acting/cinematic breakdowns but not going to deep into technicalities...love your accent on colors,
Although I’ve always found this video visually pleasing, your insights have opened a deeper understanding of the intense planning and how deliberate the process is. You’ve motivated me to rewatch Fake Love again with new eyes.
As an actor (and if no one else suggested it) you might enjoy their one-take video, "Save Me"; there's also a making-of video for that music video - it taught me that the unsung hero of all that work was the camera operator
"Fake Love" is a depressing deep song {love yourself, be yourself}.🎶.. I love Jin's line "I grew a flower that can't bloomed in a dream that can't come true🤔..Watch "Fake Love" Explain, video.💜.. I know who is wearing the hood.💜..
This is a new way to review the fake love video based on the color tones... 👍🏻 great review and reaction.
Love it, you keep many detail in first time, it’s mean you really focus at mv.
I was so hoping you would come back after your last reaction to Dynamite, And here you are. I have watched many reactions to this MV and I really enjoyed yours explaining the colors and other cinematography. Cannot wait to see your next reaction, so looking forward to your next one..
Do you know what, I am super grateful I came to your channel. There are a lot of details I've learned from your video, note that I've watched this video a lot of times, and I mean a lot. I will never look at Fake Love the same way again. Thank you, truly. Keep going and much love from Australia 💜
Yes, love seeing when 1st time intros to BTS turns into curiosity & surprise about the quality of their music, performances and production of their MV's which causes a desire to not only watch & learn more about BTS AND its quickly followed by "oh, I think I'm am a fan" 😁 Wait until you see live performances! When you get to watching live performance you definitely need to watch the various end of year Award shows, I promise you won't regret it & it will blow you away. Enjoy your BTS journey! 💜
i love love LOVE the fact that you analyze how gorgeous the music videos are along with how fantastic the boys are at dancing. new fav reactor.
I really love your reaction. You seem like such a cool guy. I can't wait for you to react to more of their videos.
I really recommend Blackswan and On Kinetic Manifesto Film as your next music video reaction. Thank you so much for your reaction. ;)
Watching your reaction videos are really refreshing, thank you. 💜I hope you can do more reaction videos of BTS. 💜🤗
Fake love is what got me too with them! They’re amazing with singing dancing acting lyrics performing and just being passionate in everything they do!
Fake love was just another kind of experience
I lovd the "I'm fine" in the mirror that turns and it says "Save Me." In the font its written in.
Nice to meet you! I grew up dancing but stopped to focus on school. I love meeting other dancers familiar with BTS! Their performance director Son Sungdeuk is one of my creative heroes.
Speaking of creative, the smurf ending for this video with the audio was pretty up there. lol!
I'm a big Star Wars fan, even am on a SW podcast panel.
Since you like movies... have you heard of the Movie Trivia Schmoedown? You should check it out. It's a TH-cam thing, kinda WWE meets movie trivia. Before the pandemic they had live events, lots of fun.
Interesting and fun reaction. Thanks!
I just found this channel! Love his comments! Why do i think that he's gonna love the bts storyline?
I suggest you watch Blood sweat and tears, ON official MV and Mic Drop
Thanks for the positive reaction to Fake Love. If you love dancing, you can also watch their dance practices.💜
Really like how insightful you were in this reaction
You understood a lot from mainly the visuals. A massive part of BTS's message can be understood in the visuals, and from my observations, people who work and are trained in the visual medium can get almost the whole message from that alone. The lyrics can be interpreted in multiple ways as there are many layers to BTS songs. I'm so glad to see how much you enjoyed this video!
Hi thanks for going into another dive into BTS' music. I really recommend to take your time with them because it really is a deep rabbit hole once you start. Hope you don't feel pressured though and that you find something that resonates with you from them! 💜💜
Holy smokes! I'm actually learning things from your videos! You're going straight to the top comrade. Salute!
Yes Cedric, as mentioned on my first comment, you become my favorite reactor instantaneously. Especially you brought another aspects of the BTS' MVs like production's and colors tone like never before as well as acting from our boys. I like it a lot. Yes, actor and moviemaker reacted. Such a great inventor to our ARMY'S vault. So now I love everything about you and want more information about you yourself man. Yes please react to all BTS' MVs such as IDOL, Mic Drop (featuring Steve Aoki), Not Today and especially Spring Day (we want to take your takes on this specific MV from your production's point of view). So excited with you Cedric. Kudos.
This is my first time to come across your channel and thanks for appreciating Fake Love. I think Spring Day would be a good MV to watch next too as cinematically it is also very good.
i like the way you explain the color contrast XD
You don’t have to apologize for the people who doesn’t like you videos. You content is yours and it’s also your channel 💜💜💜💜
wait until he finds out the water, fire, cell phones, flowers, reflections and snickers bars are all not just elements placed and implemented for contrast, but they are integral parts of the BTS Fictional Storyline that runs through , connecting most of their music videos
edit: i know i’m 4 months behind but it’s a fun thing to discover these almost easter egg moments. and hopefully someday you will dive into the BTS Universe (their storyline)
edit edit: the audio only “fun facts” part is killing me!! my favorite pokémon is celebi
Your detailed reactions to BTS MV is refreshing because of your line of work you understand more than most what they trying to convey in their performance. BTS love Greek mythology and
"Contrast creates interest"
Jordan Orme, in his BTS or every music video reaction as a Video editor prospective, is always repeating this.
And so you do 😍😎
Truth
I like your reaction. Good job!!! I subscribe! Waiting for behind scene reaction and black swan 🥰
The robed guy represents the “fear” in facing traumas. BTS mvs have a specific storyline from 2015, so every single stuff in the mv is intentional and ties in with their storyline
You are precious. Don't worry, the names will come. That you want to know their names and that you are so respectful is endearing. Thank you for bringing out the color and contrast in the set design.
OMG! This guy notice everything in the MV, just WOW. I really love your reactions❤️ And also, if you watch any introduce video and it’s a little bit too long, THAT IS OK, ARMY always like to watch full videos, so you don’t have to cut anything because we definitely will watch the whole video. Thanks!
I like how you are breaking it down 😊💜
So fun! I can't wait to watch you learn their names. I love that you catch so much detail as you're watching! You're obviously very talented and trained to do so. I have to keep reminding myself that answering any questions on these older videos is completely irrelevant! LOL. Also have so many questions about YA fantasy books you've read... like have you read the Shadowhunters series A.K.A. The Mortal Instruments? So good, and there's a TV series on Hulu, I think. It's really well done. Have you read Suzanne Collins or Melissa Marr? I actually love YA even though I'm way past those days but a good book is a good book, right?! 🙂
Haha thank you! No, Mortal Instruments is on my to-read list. I think I’ve read Marr? Definitely read Collins!!
One of the best thing about their music videos is everything has meaning. There is an ongoing arching fictional storyline that is revealed in bits and pieces, mv's, short films, short stories included in the albums, webtoons. Some fans will spend hours studying it all and trying to put it all together. Other MV's are based on books. There are whole reading lists out there of books which inspired BTS songs and MVs. Basically to understand BTS songs and MV's you need to study psychology, literature, greek mythology, art, history, religion. It's very appealing to intellectuals. Yet their music can still be enjoyed just on the surface auditory and visual level. It's great.
Fake Love was my introduction to BTS. I probably watched the video at least three times before I thought to turn on the subtitles and see what the lyrics were. I just remember thinking things like, "this is a music video?" and "Wow!"
You have an amazing journey ahead of you in discovering just why BTS is loved so much. I almost envy what your about to experience, if you continue to learn more about the group that is.
Beware, this group has put out a lot of content since they debuted seven years ago. Their fans called ARMY, show up for them.... doesn't matter if we've seen the content a dozen times already.... we're willing to watch it again.... especially if we can help someone new discover the group.
Thank you for giving them a chance and I look forward to watching more of your reactions.
BTS is a Family 💜
ARMY is a Family💜
BTS + ARMY = World Wide Family💜
Love your insights! Off to watch the rest and see if you know about LUMPENS before posting on him.
I think that you're great! Your reactions for bts are intelligent with artistic approaches. You're very good like critical. Good luck!🍀👏👏👏⚘
I'm from South Brasil and I'm in my 60's. So, I like good stuff. See you!
I love your intelligent, well thought comments. :) You are SO GOOD. I mean it.
For you, BTS - Blood, Sweat and Tears should definitely be the next reaction. A MUST. Looking forward already!
And please react to 'Spring Day' too!
It will be a little long comment but I hope you can read it.
First of all, loved your reaction. I can see you are really enjoying while watching and Im really happy to see that after those youtubers who react kpop just because its popular and acting like loving it even we clearly see they are not enjoying with the mv.
Secondly here is some info about BTS
You can ( and should) react to Who is BTS, Seven members of Bangtan video. Its a fanmade guide to know them better. Its quite long but Im sure it will help you a lot with the names and group in general. But what I want to add about BTS is their aim on mvs. They always give some really important messages on their so gs and mvs. Like " you are important even you do t have a great academic results, you should love YOURSELF before someone else, you should think about what you want to do not what other people want you do etc." also the way they express those messages in mvs are just soo cool.
Also one of the special thing about BTS, all kpop groups dance very well but BTS is just soo perfect about it.
About kpop in general;
Kpop groups sing, rap and dance at the same time but also they act. Usually there is some stories in kpop mvs and even you can see the story and acting in live performances. So basically watching a kpop mv usually like watcing a moe and watching a performance is like watching a musical.
But, kpop idols sometimes act for real. For example V from BTS acted in a historical drama.
Also abouy kpop mvs and live performances, the staff members are just way too professionel. If you can react a performance you can see how great camera works are.
Here is some request for your future reactions, I do t know would you like to react them or even you will read my comment or not but I think you may like these mvs because they have really strong storylines.
Vixx - Fantasy mv and The Closer mv - this is one of my fav kpop group and they known as concept kings due to their unique, detailed mvs and mostly very dark stories they tell us in mvs. These two mv actually on a concept about GREEK GODS and you can be sure that you wont see anything like these two. So, I would be really happy if you can react them.
B.A.P - One Shot mv and Skydive mv these are basically short action movies. Specially second one is 10 min. long so we can consider it a short moe for real.
Monsta X - Love Killa mv - it just came out and have some real moe referances. This is a group I specially like the rappers.
Their energy at concerts is crazy good!
Thank you for reacting to BTS! I hope you react to more. Please react to Blood, Sweat & Tears
You should check the behind the scenes of the mv. Love your reaction hope to see more
A lot of people told you about the story behind the MV, so i just want to told you look like a good person i like your video. I hope you can watch the behind the scenes so you can actully see more about the direction, photography and acting hahahah
For me, the camera moves gave me that uneasiness & struggle. Since this MV is all about being trapped in a fake love, being controlled and suffocated where it was shown in their choreo (marionette moves). This is one of their artistic MV that I do really love. Thanks for all the inputs and I've learned something. Blessings!
Nice to have your cinematographic view, very interesting
Welcome to BTS world 😘
jin’s 👩🏼🚀 first brought me to your channel; now i’m on a deep dive to follow your journey w/bts. 💜
Ahhhh I love that!! I hope you enjoy 💜
Wow! You are awesome!! No wonder you have so many views. I am a new fan here
Thank you so much!
I really liked your informative analysis on colors and contrasts that I was not aware of. I wished but can't check your feature film as I don't live in the US, but as I would be curious to know what's your take on film music, like what do you like as a music listener and what do you value as a filmmaker.
