B.A.P was at their prime since their debut. They won every rookie awards that year except for the controversial MAMA awards. They're known as the Dark Horse of the Kpop industry and the artists of artists. As much as the fans look forward to every comeback, other artists, producing staffs and just people from the industry also anticipates every music releases that B.A.P does. Everyone can confidently say that during B.A.P's time, they made a movement about Boy Group image and its musical direction. Definitely legendary!
i was an exol during the great exol vs baby fanwars LMAO but it does make me upset that the situation with their company has buried their name when theyre literal pioneers and founded this sound and concept. the entirety of all the rap & dance based bgs in kpop are their sons, im glad jongup is exposing newer kpop fans to bap!
For Warrior there was only 5 of them bcos Jongup was preparing to do a bboy move at the back (if u notice) & in Power Yongguk was preparing for his "Boom Boom Follow Me" part 😊
I really enjoyed your reactions to all of these videos. I love these videos, and i still watch them when i get the urge to watch them. Thank you so much for your surprised reaction to a lot of them. Especially One Shot. I had the same kind of reaction that you did when I first saw it. There is a guy named Chad Future who does the English version of a lot of Kpop songs, and One Shot is one of the songs he performs. You could maybe check him out if you want. BAP is/was one of the best groups. I really like them.
Oh! BAP reaction in 2023 😭 Okay about the bunnies! It's their mascot and BAP debuted with a lore- They are bunny-shaped aliens called Matoki (you can google what they look like theyre cute hshs) chosen warriors who arrived on Earth in order to search power source that can save their planet. They discover the sound of crowd screaming is the enery they were looking for and became idols xD Ofc deep into their career they eventually drop this lore but its still fun
Please check bap's "Excuse me." live performance video. That's a legendary one. and if you watch their "moondance" performance, you'll find their beautiful dance and lyrical melody. Thank you rj, I always enjoy you video.
I clicked on this video as a B.A.P fan and was curious as to why you would be interested to react to the music now, considering that they're not active right now, but you saying it was because of Peak Time just sits right with me :)
It makes me so happy to see so many people reacting to B.A.P again I loved this group so much. The bunny is called a Matoki which is their mascot. I have all 6 of them. These men were absolutely amazing. Skydive is similar to one shot but more OMG. I'm so sad they aren't together anymore
Ame...Gracias por reaccionar a B.A.P Aunque soy 1000% vip me encantaba B.A.P eran geniales 💖 Todavía me producen una muy buena energía cuando los escucho 💖💖
Aside from Treasure, Seventeen, and NCT, BAP also has the complete vibe and talent package. They have a solid vocal, dance, and rapper line. BTW, I enjoyed your reaction as usual, and I'm hoping you'll react more to their music videos. It brought me back 9 years ago huhu.
im late but i just saw that u reacted to bap and quite literally dropped everything to watch!! wow thank u peaktime IM SO EXCITED TO WATCH THIS BECAUSE I LOVE BAP SM. cracking up at the editing of... that certain (ex) members part bc ngl i was NOT looking forward to that, thanks for making it funny
Explanation for One Shot: the song is about you having only shot, one chance, don't waste it, don't miss your chance when you can still turn things around. The main character has always been Youngjae. His choice of being wasted in a gang got himself and everyone else killed, but if he had made the right choice from the beginning, he's using his skills to infiltrate and catch the gang red-handed. P/s: the music video included tracks from the One Shot album, "Punch" and "Coma".
pleaseee they were incredible, and it's always so sad to see that a bad company ruin their potential... They even got the rookie of the year award, against really powerful and bit groups (against exo debut too)
I'm glad you haven't heard of that company, that shows how ruined it was because of how evil it was. TS had great groups: Untouchable, Secret, BAP, Sonamoo... his last group was not so well known because he no longer had money and was full of lawsuits. The last group was TRCNG
Every time someone reacts to B.A.P I get a little sad at what could have been if TS wasn't so evil. Potential off the charts. Fun fact: B.A.P and BtoB are great friends despite the different music styles
Many people do not realize that without B.A.P and EXO, Kpop groups' choreographies wouldn't be as sick as they are today. It was literally these two groups that opened the door to crazy and difficult choreos
I was watching Weekly Idol before and I remember so well how DoniConi mentioned they bagged 8 rookie awards. And that's what piqued my curiosity about them and started getting to know them. Sooooooooooo much talent has gone to waste. I will never forgive TSEnt
What you saw were dual endings -- not alternate endings -- to B.A.P.'s "One Shot" MV. What they were showing was how no matter how the situation played out, there was no good ending for anyone who chooses to take part in criminal activity. The ultimate message in the "One Shot" MV was if you are involved in gangs and crime, no matter how you play things, you will always lose. You will either die or you will get caught and go to prison. You only have "One Shot" in life and you had better make the right decisions. It's a social commentary on gang culture and the gang lifestyle. B.A.P was making a statement about corruption within society and how no matter what you do, if you choose to walk that path, it will always turn out bad in the end. B.A.P. were also known for often teasing to more than one song on their album within an MV. So, in the "One Shot" MV you also heard a few of the other songs from their album. The song that was playing when they were on the yacht was one of their other songs from this album, as well as the songs you hear when they rob the armored car and when they meet the other gang in the subway, etc. B.A.P., which stands for Best Absolute Perfect -- EXO's original rivals :D -- were known for their deep (often dark) lyrics and message within their songs and MVs. They were known for the fact that they weren't afraid to take on some of the bigger societal issues that many people in Korean culture are reluctant to talk about. (However, not all their songs are this dark, they have several bright and happy songs as well.) The bunny is B.A.P.'s mascot and you will see it in the majority of things that B.A.P did. It's the symbol that represents the group. Just like EXO's symbol is the hexagon, B.A.P.'s symbol is the bunny.
The first Multi-verse in K-pop. The first Male K-pop group with plushie mascots aka Matoki (bunny). First group themed origin concept. They were aliens Matoki from the planet Mato sent on a mission to bring happiness to Earth with music. So many firsts, they were cutting edge exploring new ways to develop this genre to a global audience.
B.A.P. was that group! Two of my favorite title tracks are 1004 and honeymoon - definitely keep checking them out cause they were so different at the time and had all the skills! (Throwback to all the B.A.P. vs Exo fan wars😅 what a time…)
oh yeah, THE fanwars! exotics (then we didn't have an official fandom name) vs baby-s and it was a bloody battle to vote for MAMA 2012 rookie of the year, and I remember I laughed my ass off when they announced Busker Busker as the best new male artist. 😂But good times, good times. Also, I liked how both BAP and EXO had the concept of aliens, but EXO were more like those supernatural beings while BAP had a vibe of cool space pirates.
BAP was a phenomenon when they debuted! They were the real thing back in 2012-2014, and then everything went downhill and every kpop fan was crying.. I’m so glad you are checking them out cause they totally deserve it!
They were great actors, Skydive is another mv with a storyline, and they have a "soft" side in Thats my jam and feel so good, also wake me up, Angel, Young wild and free( more rock and one of they last releases) great songs to check out!
OMG!!! BAP! Bunny is for the matoki (masked tokki = masked bunny) character they have. Yongguk is red, Jongup is Green, etc. Each member have their assigned matoki character with corresponding name like Jongup is Dadamato, Yongguk is Shishimato etc. They have this concept of being aliens from Mato Planet who came to earth. BAP popularized the trend with the "bad boy" image, more hip hop/rap-focused boy group with dark concept and socially relevant themes in their songs. Yongguk also produced most of their songs
Lol the way it was ON SIGHT with Youngjae for that One Shot betrayal for years after. If you liked the story telling of that MV, you should check out Skydive from them. They have so many bangers though and so many genres. 1004, Coffee Shop, Badman, Hurricane, Stop It, Young Wild & Free, Feels So Good, That's My Jam, Rain Sound, Honeymoon, Hands Up, Where Are You. They were truly just ICONIC. Also, the Bunny or Matoki is their logo since they are all different colored alien bunnies from Mato
B.A.P. deserved better. Their company treated them like dirt. You should totally check out Bang Yongguk and Moon Jongup's solo stuff. The bunny thing, bunnies are theur mascot, it's on all their album covers. The bunny design kinda looks like Max from the cartoon Sam and Max. But yeah it's never just cute bunny on the albums either it's like a bunny in a gas mask, a carnival bunny etc. And yes, One Shot mv is kind of like an album teaser in that it includes snippets of other songs: Punch, Coma and Zero, I think.
Omg yess B.A.P!! I literally have a list of suggestions for you to react to and they were part of it So some 2 gen greatness(since you already are very familiar with the current generations) would be: infinite, beast(now known as highlight), 2pm, Sistar(my favs),Apink, Miss A, 4minute...(lets leave it here for now lol) Among soloists i believe queen Sunmi is a must, now do with this information what you want but i believe there are a lot of icons in the industry that shall not be forgotten or overlooked by new fans cause they would be missing out big time.👍
Oh my god what a nice surprise! I’m gonna try my hardest not to write a novel them but this group (apart from the obvious one) are MY boys. B.A.P is the group that got me into kpop and literally hold a special place apart from all other groups and biases for me. They are so talented and good people and it’s so frustrating and criminal how TS treated them. Their lyrics are super impactful and inspiring. You ended up picking a lot of their heavier/rock songs but they have a good mix of fun/upbeat songs (That’s My Jam, Feel So Good, S.P.Y) and slower stuff too (Rain Sound, Coffee Shop, With You.) And they are so fun live! Their whole discography is up there with SHINee, Infinite and Beast/Highlight as my favorite in all of kpop. Since you mentioned Peak Time you actually have seen Daehyun, the main vocalist going OFF in No Mercy, in that show quickly. Jongup invited him to come see the group in the last(?) episode (I didn’t actually watch the show just clips 😅) and introduced him as his brother. You probably didn’t recognize him bc it was so brief and he still had his post-military hair cut 😂 The bunny or matoki is basically the group mascot. They had a whole story line with it for their debut involving aliens and lore and each member had their own bunny and color associated with them- the light stick is a bunny head and there is really cute merch too. One Shot has three different songs in it from their first full album- the song that plays in the intro is Punch, then obviously One Shot, and the song at the end for the alternative ending portion is Coma. To explain One Shot’s mv it’s basically saying how you only have one shot to live so you should be kind and do good or else you’ll have a ‘bad ending’ bc the gang ends up dead or in jail. Regardless of which ending you choose it’s not going to turn out well. Not sure if take recs or anything but if you want some 2nd gen goodness I highly recommend checking out Infinite! They debuted in 2010 but a month or two ago had a comeback called New Emotions after 5 years under their own company that their leader is the CEO of. And they did a whole Killing Voice as well.
The joy i had when i saw this. B.A.P was one of my all-time fav groups. Saw them multiple times live and they always killed. I agree w those that said they could've had BTS potential with proper management. Def check out all of their albums. They do other genres too. The First Sensibility album is my fave
I am a baby since 2012. ❤ And nowdays I am quite amazed seeing that Mv reactions are still on top a B.A.P stills appear in this kind of videos. So I am very proud of my fandom tho. Bunnies. I'll tell you. B.A.P's band pet is an allien bunny called Matoki (Masked Toki (bunny y korean)). And each member has his own Matoki. For example, Zelo's Matoki is Totomato. Our lightstick is a Matoki on his ship. And, of course, the light is Green. Actually there's a music video, like a short comic abiut matokis with a song, 'Goodbye'. And is because their are Best Absolute Perfect... Out of this planet. B.A.B.Y = Baby Always Beside You. We were use to be really nice and kind fandom. So If anyone has a question I bet there will always be a baby to answer. And everyone being blonde on Warrior was o porpuse because they want people know them as an unique form. A team. (Sorry for my english... 😅)
BAP were known as monster rookies since debut. One shot is an iconic song that most kpop stan know, the mv is a masterpiece. It's so sad that BAP company did them dirty right at their peek. Ts entert. was so terrible that the company got sued by almost all its artists and finally had to shut down in 2021. BAP was the first group they signed, they sued them, which resulted in a long hiatus, they eventually came back but they did not have the time to establish a big stable fanbase and they could not keep up with new popular groups and well established groups , the entire thing led to the group's downfall and eventually their disbandment. Youngjae is an actor now, for those who remember he was on the show celeb bros with Jay B, because he was a trainee in JYP along Got7 members.
B.A.P we’re the best the beat EXO to rookies of the year . They had a good fan base worldwide I was lucky enough to see them twice in London to me they should have achieved what BTS did but the company was so bad to them they just didn’t appreciate what they had . There Vocals and rapping are the best . They have so many great songs you have only just touched on them . The bunny is there mascot there actually Matoki and each member had its own . Please react to more from them you won’t be disappointed.
TS had real gold in their hands and they just screwed them 😢. I miss B.A.P. each comeback was amazing. I almost cried with their first time winning with 1004🎉
I`d advise you to check their MV`s - "That’s My Jam" and "WAKE ME UP". It has a different style, but hits me a lot. "That’s My Jam" is very funny and "WAKE ME UP" is opposite - real live song (about sicknesses of society).
Idk if I'm wrong for this because I love them both so freakin' much, but just recently I realized that BAP and XG have a lot of (veeery good) things in common, so I thank Simon for that: making a group that reminds me of the charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent lol that BAP once and forever will have!! 🙌👑 Truly a tragedy that we can't live in a world where they got the recognition they deserved 😢
This group is so special to me, at the time they were active, I was a big fan, it's a shame the company didn't give them the value they deserved. Please do all MVs? They are awesome.
B.A.P is one of the legend group since they debut. You should watch Skydive mv. It was mind-blowing. their b-side also are amazing. You should listen to it.
B.A.P the powerful group that gave out the same energy performing live with live vocal. Still the best until today. For me, they're one of the group that path the way and broke knet/korean kpop fan perspective of this type of genres. After them, many group debut in this kind of theme.
B.A.P. and Block B had some of the most fun MVs back then. B.A.P. in particular had such great storylines in their MVs that kept the audience captivated. However, their company was trash and destroyed them. Even so, it's great for newer fans to go back and check out some of the iconic groups from 1st, 2nd, and early 3rd Gen.
B.A.P was the reason why i'm in kpop world now. My first B.A.P's song was Wake me up and i fell in love with this song from the first sound! It was the beginning of interesting journey called kpop. Unfortunately it was too late. I discovered them in autumn 2018 and in the beginning of 2019 they disbanded😢I wasn't ready for that... However, I am glad that the guys still get together and support each other. They come to each other's fan meetings. Daehyun came to Jongup and his team on Peak time to give some advice. I just love them. They always be special for me. And i hope someday they will reunion under the name B.A.P - Best Absolute Perfect!!!
yoooo B.A.P Thank you for this, they were and still are so talented!! fire❤🔥and yes, i also wish we could stan them but i love to say that they still are one of my fave boy group🥺
B.A.P was my first and only kpop concert and i deeply miss them but i am so glad Jongup is still around. He's been my favorite since day 1 (the awkwardness and he's a dancer so.. love it). You need to listen more of them, they're so versatile and Jongup evolved like a pokemon lol.. he's amazing
Bap was one of the best boygroups way ahead of their time They would have succeeded if they had a bigger and better company Listening to these songs and watching the mvs again make me really miss them So tragic they didn't get what they deserved
Just to add a bit more they also have a softer and fun side as well . And also a social awareness . One shot is like you only have one life make sure you get it right so they give you a choice of two ways the ending can go .
Thank you for reacting to B.A.P😭 they are my ultimate group and they are one of the best out there. If you like you can try to listen to their other title tracks and B-side tracks (most of my fave songs from them are from their B-sides). Here are some of my faves: Wake Me Up 1004 Save Me Coma Blind Rain Sound With You Fermata
Crazy talented yet sadly B.A.P just came from a really really horrible company TS ent was literally the definition of kpop slave contract and they damaged all of their talented artists As someone that has seen B.A.P live they honestly put on such an incredible live performance and the members have lovely raw vocals Did I mention they are crazy talented Concept is that B.A.P are space bunnies that crash to earth and discover music
I'm so glad you checked them out! I highly recommend watching more of course! To echo other comments, they were IT at the time. TS Entertainment is trash and f*cked everything up and my heart hurts every single time I think about it. They were the reason why I gave BTS a chance because I was reminded so much of B.A.P. when they debuted. Also, I think the word you were looking for in the first MV is "stomp" dance style. Idk if someone else already answered that since I haven't read every comment. Some of my faves with MVs are "Where are you, What are you doing?," "1004," "Feel So Good," and "Goodbye."
Best. Absolute. Perfect. In everything they did. Every track is a banger even the b-sides. They always switched up styles and still had their identity. It’s 2023 and they still rank in my Top 3 most played artists ❤
B.A.P was way before their time. Still one of the most talented Kpop groups out there!!
B.A.P was at their prime since their debut. They won every rookie awards that year except for the controversial MAMA awards. They're known as the Dark Horse of the Kpop industry and the artists of artists. As much as the fans look forward to every comeback, other artists, producing staffs and just people from the industry also anticipates every music releases that B.A.P does.
Everyone can confidently say that during B.A.P's time, they made a movement about Boy Group image and its musical direction.
Definitely legendary!
i was an exol during the great exol vs baby fanwars LMAO but it does make me upset that the situation with their company has buried their name when theyre literal pioneers and founded this sound and concept. the entirety of all the rap & dance based bgs in kpop are their sons, im glad jongup is exposing newer kpop fans to bap!
Their b-sides and tracks on their albums are absolutely gold: Rain Sound, Body & Soul, Coffee Shop, Bang x2
For Warrior there was only 5 of them bcos Jongup was preparing to do a bboy move at the back (if u notice) & in Power Yongguk was preparing for his "Boom Boom Follow Me" part 😊
One shot mv was really huge for the reaction videos back in the days. I was emotionally invested.
B.A.P - 1004 ❗️❗️❗️
Это группа всегда будет для меня самой большой потерей кпоп. Никогда не была бэйбиз, но эти ребята навсегда в моем сердце 💔
btw if you would like to do a part 2, i want to suggest 1004 (Angel), Coffee Shop, Wake me up and Skydive. Thank you so much for this reaction~
I miss BAP. ❤
I really enjoyed your reactions to all of these videos. I love these videos, and i still watch them when i get the urge to watch them. Thank you so much for your surprised reaction to a lot of them.

B.A.P. just released a comeback song. "Gone". Mnus a few members but still great.
Finally....cant wait
Waiting for more B.A.P reactions
B.A.P was my ult group before Seventeen 😭 Thank you for thiss💕 What a surprise ❤
What! How did I miss you reaction to my ult group BAP. I’m forever a baby! I saw youngguk in concert this year and it was everything!!
It makes me so happy to see so many people reacting to B.A.P again I loved this group so much. The bunny is called a Matoki which is their mascot. I have all 6 of them. These men were absolutely amazing. Skydive is similar to one shot but more OMG. I'm so sad they aren't together anymore

cracking up at the editing of... that certain (ex) members part bc ngl i was NOT looking forward to that, thanks for making it funny
I will never get tired of listening to Warrior.
Explanation for One Shot: the song is about you having only shot, one chance, don't waste it, don't miss your chance when you can still turn things around. The main character has always been Youngjae. His choice of being wasted in a gang got himself and everyone else killed, but if he had made the right choice from the beginning, he's using his skills to infiltrate and catch the gang red-handed.

BAP was the only concert where my lightstick broke because I was partying too hard 😂 No regrets
OH MY GOD i don't even know i miss them this much
The first kpop group with pets, bunnies.
one shot changes lives
pleaseee they were incredible, and it's always so sad to see that a bad company ruin their potential...
They even got the rookie of the year award, against really powerful and bit groups (against exo debut too)
Their choreos are insane!
Agreed they were way ahead of their time never will be another B.A.P I think they unalived a member alot in their mv lol
B.A.P MY ULT GROUP 😭💚
warrior is one of my fav of debut song.. and in 2012, my fav group is BAP instead of exo, btob, block b. hahaa.. they debut in the same year

Actually Power is about Aliens coming to earth and yeah everyone has a bunny if you could watch they have mv look for Matoki
one shot mv has little pauses between the song and the video, that's were the song 'coma' sounds, that's why you thought it was two songs
Please do more BAP!!!
My Username for almost everything is ArmyBaby just because I am both an army and a Baby. I love BAP so much!
Yyyyyyyyaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy finally
**ELMO WITH RAISED HANDS AND BURNING BACKGROUND**
man, they schooled everyone when they debuted
Onmaaagaaaaaaddddd b.a.p badman please
I'm glad you haven't heard of that company, that shows how ruined it was because of how evil it was.
TS had great groups: Untouchable, Secret, BAP, Sonamoo... his last group was not so well known because he no longer had money and was full of lawsuits. The last group was TRCNG
I love how Jongup is leading more and more people to B.A.P. They deserved so much better.
Every time someone reacts to B.A.P I get a little sad at what could have been if TS wasn't so evil. Potential off the charts. Fun fact: B.A.P and BtoB are great friends despite the different music styles
BTOBAP haha
i miss BTOBAP so much!!!😭
I miss BTOB BAP moments
True
They publish a documentary about coming back. Let's go babiessss. Also my btobap heart omggg
"my favourite is the blonde one" we really thought we were peak hilarious 😂
good times 😂
My favourite group ' Blonde Asain People' 😂
Many people do not realize that without B.A.P and EXO, Kpop groups' choreographies wouldn't be as sick as they are today. It was literally these two groups that opened the door to crazy and difficult choreos
That is SO TRUE! These 2 groups were shoulder to shoulder too! Top groups and the beginnings of so many things and trends!
They are BEST DEBUT IN 2012
They won rookie awards
Yes. And that time many powerful group from best company also debut
Like EXO,
NU'EST
I was watching Weekly Idol before and I remember so well how DoniConi mentioned they bagged 8 rookie awards. And that's what piqued my curiosity about them and started getting to know them. Sooooooooooo much talent has gone to waste. I will never forgive TSEnt

BAP was a phenomenon when they debuted! They were the real thing back in 2012-2014, and then everything went downhill and every kpop fan was crying..
I’m so glad you are checking them out cause they totally deserve it!
They were great actors, Skydive is another mv with a storyline, and they have a "soft" side in Thats my jam and feel so good, also wake me up, Angel, Young wild and free( more rock and one of they last releases) great songs to check out!
I love watching people's brains burning when they watch B.A.P mvs for the first time.
Omg B.A.P they are so good in everything dance rap vocal 👑🔥🔥😎😎
OMG!!! BAP! Bunny is for the matoki (masked tokki = masked bunny) character they have. Yongguk is red, Jongup is Green, etc. Each member have their assigned matoki character with corresponding name like Jongup is Dadamato, Yongguk is Shishimato etc. They have this concept of being aliens from Mato Planet who came to earth.
BAP popularized the trend with the "bad boy" image, more hip hop/rap-focused boy group with dark concept and socially relevant themes in their songs. Yongguk also produced most of their songs
Bang Yongguk on solo lead me to BAP pretty late in the Kpop game, but boy he's so fire!!! 🔥🔥🔥
I absolutely love his song I Remember.
B.A.P. were that group, so talented. They should still be a group 😭😭😭, so glad trash entertainment is gone.
Lol the way it was ON SIGHT with Youngjae for that One Shot betrayal for years after. If you liked the story telling of that MV, you should check out Skydive from them. They have so many bangers though and so many genres. 1004, Coffee Shop, Badman, Hurricane, Stop It, Young Wild & Free, Feels So Good, That's My Jam, Rain Sound, Honeymoon, Hands Up, Where Are You. They were truly just ICONIC. Also, the Bunny or Matoki is their logo since they are all different colored alien bunnies from Mato
B.A.P are just fire! You're reacting to one of the most lit groups in K-pop. The thumbnail says a lot 😂
B.A.P. deserved better. Their company treated them like dirt. You should totally check out Bang Yongguk and Moon Jongup's solo stuff. The bunny thing, bunnies are theur mascot, it's on all their album covers. The bunny design kinda looks like Max from the cartoon Sam and Max. But yeah it's never just cute bunny on the albums either it's like a bunny in a gas mask, a carnival bunny etc. And yes, One Shot mv is kind of like an album teaser in that it includes snippets of other songs: Punch, Coma and Zero, I think.
Omg yess B.A.P!! I literally have a list of suggestions for you to react to and they were part of it
So some 2 gen greatness(since you already are very familiar with the current generations) would be: infinite, beast(now known as highlight), 2pm, Sistar(my favs),Apink, Miss A, 4minute...(lets leave it here for now lol)
Among soloists i believe queen Sunmi is a must, now do with this information what you want but i believe there are a lot of icons in the industry that shall not be forgotten or overlooked by new fans cause they would be missing out big time.👍
B.A.P was such an amazing group, i miss them so much, there's nobody like them
THEY'RE COMING BACK!!!They have documentary series, just type MA Entertainment BAP and it'll show up 💚🐰
@@MidoriBelwith New music? 😢
Oh my god what a nice surprise! I’m gonna try my hardest not to write a novel them but this group (apart from the obvious one) are MY boys. B.A.P is the group that got me into kpop and literally hold a special place apart from all other groups and biases for me. They are so talented and good people and it’s so frustrating and criminal how TS treated them. Their lyrics are super impactful and inspiring. You ended up picking a lot of their heavier/rock songs but they have a good mix of fun/upbeat songs (That’s My Jam, Feel So Good, S.P.Y) and slower stuff too (Rain Sound, Coffee Shop, With You.) And they are so fun live! Their whole discography is up there with SHINee, Infinite and Beast/Highlight as my favorite in all of kpop.
Since you mentioned Peak Time you actually have seen Daehyun, the main vocalist going OFF in No Mercy, in that show quickly. Jongup invited him to come see the group in the last(?) episode (I didn’t actually watch the show just clips 😅) and introduced him as his brother. You probably didn’t recognize him bc it was so brief and he still had his post-military hair cut 😂
The bunny or matoki is basically the group mascot. They had a whole story line with it for their debut involving aliens and lore and each member had their own bunny and color associated with them- the light stick is a bunny head and there is really cute merch too. One Shot has three different songs in it from their first full album- the song that plays in the intro is Punch, then obviously One Shot, and the song at the end for the alternative ending portion is Coma. To explain One Shot’s mv it’s basically saying how you only have one shot to live so you should be kind and do good or else you’ll have a ‘bad ending’ bc the gang ends up dead or in jail. Regardless of which ending you choose it’s not going to turn out well.
Not sure if take recs or anything but if you want some 2nd gen goodness I highly recommend checking out Infinite! They debuted in 2010 but a month or two ago had a comeback called New Emotions after 5 years under their own company that their leader is the CEO of. And they did a whole Killing Voice as well.
I've followed kpop for many years, and I think the best choreography for me is B.A.P.'s One shot!!! I love it!
The joy i had when i saw this. B.A.P was one of my all-time fav groups. Saw them multiple times live and they always killed. I agree w those that said they could've had BTS potential with proper management. Def check out all of their albums. They do other genres too. The First Sensibility album is my fave
they were TRULY ahead of their time.. what a legendary group
I am a baby since 2012. ❤ And nowdays I am quite amazed seeing that Mv reactions are still on top a B.A.P stills appear in this kind of videos. So I am very proud of my fandom tho.
Bunnies. I'll tell you.
B.A.P's band pet is an allien bunny called Matoki (Masked Toki (bunny y korean)). And each member has his own Matoki. For example, Zelo's Matoki is Totomato. Our lightstick is a Matoki on his ship. And, of course, the light is Green. Actually there's a music video, like a short comic abiut matokis with a song, 'Goodbye'.
And is because their are Best Absolute Perfect... Out of this planet.
B.A.B.Y = Baby Always Beside You.
We were use to be really nice and kind fandom. So If anyone has a question I bet there will always be a baby to answer.
And everyone being blonde on Warrior was o porpuse because they want people know them as an unique form. A team.
(Sorry for my english... 😅)
Owkaaaayy, this is gonna be so good! Not gonna lie, i did not expect this reaction but owkaaaayy~ 😍
BAP were known as monster rookies since debut. One shot is an iconic song that most kpop stan know, the mv is a masterpiece. It's so sad that BAP company did them dirty right at their peek. Ts entert. was so terrible that the company got sued by almost all its artists and finally had to shut down in 2021. BAP was the first group they signed, they sued them, which resulted in a long hiatus, they eventually came back but they did not have the time to establish a big stable fanbase and they could not keep up with new popular groups and well established groups , the entire thing led to the group's downfall and eventually their disbandment. Youngjae is an actor now, for those who remember he was on the show celeb bros with Jay B, because he was a trainee in JYP along Got7 members.
B.A.P we’re the best the beat EXO to rookies of the year . They had a good fan base worldwide I was lucky enough to see them twice in London to me they should have achieved what BTS did but the company was so bad to them they just didn’t appreciate what they had . There Vocals and rapping are the best . They have so many great songs you have only just touched on them . The bunny is there mascot there actually Matoki and each member had its own . Please react to more from them you won’t be disappointed.
TS had real gold in their hands and they just screwed them 😢. I miss B.A.P. each comeback was amazing. I almost cried with their first time winning with 1004🎉
I`d advise you to check their MV`s - "That’s My Jam" and "WAKE ME UP". It has a different style, but hits me a lot. "That’s My Jam" is very funny and "WAKE ME UP" is opposite - real live song (about sicknesses of society).
Idk if I'm wrong for this because I love them both so freakin' much, but just recently I realized that BAP and XG have a lot of (veeery good) things in common, so I thank Simon for that: making a group that reminds me of the charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent lol that BAP once and forever will have!! 🙌👑 Truly a tragedy that we can't live in a world where they got the recognition they deserved 😢
This group is so special to me, at the time they were active, I was a big fan, it's a shame the company didn't give them the value they deserved.
Please do all MVs? They are awesome.
I‘m still not over BAP and Oneshot is still on my playlist 😅
B.A.P is one of the legend group since they debut. You should watch Skydive mv. It was mind-blowing. their b-side also are amazing. You should listen to it.
B.A.P the powerful group that gave out the same energy performing live with live vocal. Still the best until today.
For me, they're one of the group that path the way and broke knet/korean kpop fan perspective of this type of genres.
After them, many group debut in this kind of theme.
B.A.P. and Block B had some of the most fun MVs back then. B.A.P. in particular had such great storylines in their MVs that kept the audience captivated. However, their company was trash and destroyed them. Even so, it's great for newer fans to go back and check out some of the iconic groups from 1st, 2nd, and early 3rd Gen.
Please more B. A. P:
1004
Skydive
Badman
Stop it
B. A. P - aliens bunny 😂
B.A.P was the reason why i'm in kpop world now. My first B.A.P's song was Wake me up and i fell in love with this song from the first sound! It was the beginning of interesting journey called kpop. Unfortunately it was too late. I discovered them in autumn 2018 and in the beginning of 2019 they disbanded😢I wasn't ready for that... However, I am glad that the guys still get together and support each other. They come to each other's fan meetings. Daehyun came to Jongup and his team on Peak time to give some advice. I just love them. They always be special for me. And i hope someday they will reunion under the name B.A.P - Best Absolute Perfect!!!
Hands up,young wild & free,Hurrican,Coffee shop...many more BAP song
yoooo B.A.P Thank you for this, they were and still are so talented!! fire❤🔥and yes, i also wish we could stan them but i love to say that they still are one of my fave boy group🥺
B.A.P was my first and only kpop concert and i deeply miss them but i am so glad Jongup is still around. He's been my favorite since day 1 (the awkwardness and he's a dancer so.. love it). You need to listen more of them, they're so versatile and Jongup evolved like a pokemon lol.. he's amazing
Bap was one of the best boygroups way ahead of their time
They would have succeeded if they had a bigger and better company
Listening to these songs and watching the mvs again make me really miss them
So tragic they didn't get what they deserved
Just to add a bit more they also have a softer and fun side as well . And also a social awareness . One shot is like you only have one life make sure you get it right so they give you a choice of two ways the ending can go .
Yasssss...thank you!!! Sky dive is a must!!! Moon Jong Up's iconic dance break!
Woahhh this group used to be my ults, I really recommend Skydive and Wake Me Up, those are my favorites!!
Thank you for reacting to B.A.P😭 they are my ultimate group and they are one of the best out there.
If you like you can try to listen to their other title tracks and B-side tracks (most of my fave songs from them are from their B-sides).
Here are some of my faves:
Wake Me Up
1004
Save Me
Coma
Blind
Rain Sound
With You
Fermata
Noooooo wayyyy he's reacting to b..a.p 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯😱😭oh yes
Crazy talented yet sadly B.A.P just came from a really really horrible company TS ent was literally the definition of kpop slave contract and they damaged all of their talented artists
As someone that has seen B.A.P live they honestly put on such an incredible live performance and the members have lovely raw vocals
Did I mention they are crazy talented
Concept is that B.A.P are space bunnies that crash to earth and discover music
b.a.p is my favorite group to this day... there is no one like them :(
I'm so glad you checked them out! I highly recommend watching more of course! To echo other comments, they were IT at the time. TS Entertainment is trash and f*cked everything up and my heart hurts every single time I think about it. They were the reason why I gave BTS a chance because I was reminded so much of B.A.P. when they debuted. Also, I think the word you were looking for in the first MV is "stomp" dance style. Idk if someone else already answered that since I haven't read every comment. Some of my faves with MVs are "Where are you, What are you doing?," "1004," "Feel So Good," and "Goodbye."
Best. Absolute. Perfect.
In everything they did.
Every track is a banger even the b-sides. They always switched up styles and still had their identity.
It’s 2023 and they still rank in my Top 3 most played artists ❤
