Jimin is not just a singer. Jimin is an omnidirectional artist. He transcends K-pop. Seriously, our King Slaymin has never disappointed; he only has masterpieces. 👑
Park Jimin is extraordinary by nature for sure but he outdid himself in his solo debut. The capability of his to express emotions by his whole body in via dance and signing is astonishing. Hats off.
@@kaybunny7836 no. he released promise as a single song on sound cloud, as a present for the fans. all of members of bts had released songs here and there on soundcloud as small projects or in the name of mixtapes. this, the album FACE is jimin’s official solo debut as a soloist artist.
The « having to go sane to stay sane » is actually a line in bts’s on. I guess that line resonated a lot with him back in 2020 since he’s bringing it back
Autotune is used when the thoughts in his head are angry and caged. They’re like a separate character. And then his natural voice is used when he expresses his more reflective self and genuine feelings and him finally being free.
People didn't like the song because of the auto-tune, but as someone who doesn't mind auto-tune i absolutely love it!! Not to even mention how beautiful and iconic the MV is
First time I watched it kinda put me off because I love Jimin natural voice, but after album release I appreciate it more now. He tries different styles and he is good in all of them.
When the concept, music, voice, video have nothing to complain by haters/antis, the autotune is the last. Haters even dont know what autotune is used for. Haters are going to hate in anyway!
When pd says "that's the greatest thing he have ever seen and it's his favorite solo debut" I felt that, people hate this song but tbh it's the best song ever.... Really
@@tokyoghibli not only anti bts ,but other members solo stans too😂 .. i saw taehyung's die hard stan even made video of " SET ME FREE is TERIBBLE/MESS "😅 and he gathered all Jimin's haters in his contents comment sections.
@@Mamo0O0o Yeah, a lot of Tae stans, JK stans and Hobi stans were siding with Blinks to tear Jimin down. Like how pathetic and desperate can they be just because they are all threatened with THE Park Jimin.
Face off is so underrated. The way he sang the verse give you all my money.. your masquerade party.. I was fucking drunk. That Drunk verse man... Pls do a reaction on Face Off.
Jimin is genuinely an incredible artist. This song and his album absolutely blew my mind!!!! Pdogg was serious and so right when he meant he was gonna end kpop 2023. Jimin is just truly on another level 👏🏻
You are good people! I feel like people who love and appreciate Jimin are next level souls. Those who can hate such a phenomenal star as Jimin are clearly jealous and vile. You made my heart so happy as a Jimin lover ❤
This won't only inspire singers and dancers, something about bts always inspires anyone who produces any form of Art, or even your own life as a form of art. From Painters to writers and even creating a piano piece and so on! :'))💜💜💜💜💜
I cried with this reaction. We love Jimin as who he is and it breaks our hearts when people mock him since the beginning. Now were proud of him as he sets himself free but please he still needs our support. We continuously defend him you know from the toxic world. We wanted him to be happy. When he knew his Set Me Free Pt2 went #30 Billboard Hot 100 he was very happy. I cried of happiness seing him how happy and thankful he was. He is such a humble King!
the writing on Jimin's body is a german poem called, "ich lebe mein leben in wachsenden ringen" or I live my life in growing circles by Rainer Maria Rilke.
For unknown reason official translation are more "I live my life in (ever) widening circles" (I have no idea why but this is what comes up). Personally I'd translate the last line as "great hymn" or "mighty hymn" but the translation into English decided more on "great song" (?). ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I like the poem. Thank you for mentioning it (especially since they seem to have missed it)! 💜
I am not a fan or stan of bts, only casual listener but I gonna say right now : this song is a FUCKING ART. It's right up my alley with jhope on the street for me, just diff vibe. It is incomparable, both were MASTERPIECE
And you didn't see or hear like crazy, is even more different than everything bts or kpop is, every song of the album was different from one another, and what ut was amazing they all where telling the same story of depression in different stages.
I sorry but whoever this guy is, he is too talented😳✨. This performance and song DESERVES to go viral. ❤ Edit: y'all his album FACE is 🔥. He needs to be blow up or something.
Jimin has created an album that is as epic and iconic as Thriller was for MJ or Stairway to Heaven for Led Zeppelin. It will be talked about for decades.💜🫶🏻🫰🏻
Very late is seeing this reaction video, but what I thought after being blown away by SMFPT2 was the same reaction after seeing Thriller the first time!! Incredible and and both (MJ&JM) have changed the music industry. Each in their respective time periods. A true masterpiece and work of art!
the way you went into depth about how you needed actual solo work from jimin in order for him to cement his spot as one of your favorite soloists at 30:43 resonated with me sooooooooo deeply. for me, he's been an artist that i've been anticipating since 2016 upon the release of BTS' album 'Wings' and his solo b-side 'Lie'. although there are songs he released between then and now (more solo b-sides plus Promise and Christmas Love, both of which are finally on paid streaming platforms) that were produced and/or composed by him, nothing can really compare to a solo debut where he's in his true element with full creative control. FACE was the BEST solo debut by a k-pop artist in my opinion and it also made me realize that i'll never be able to dedicate my love to any performer like i do to jimin. also! the autotune wasn't well received by some non-fans (99% being antis) because of how unexpected it was--like you said, we're all used to only hearing his higher register--and it was refreshing to hear an opinion from someone who actually loved and more importantly understood the sound he was going for. i really wish i found this video sooner in the midst of the hateful madness i was forced to witness 😭 your kind words and appreciation for jimin makes me so happy and prideful 🥹💛super excited to watch your Like Crazy reaction!!
King of K-pop Jimin set a new record on Spotify a new history of K-pop!🟢 Not Only Jimin Is the First K-pop Artist/ Soloist to Sell Over a Million Copies In One Day Worldwide and JIMIN Is the First Kpop Soloist to Ranked on #1 Spotify !!~ His album is literally break records wow Jimin his powers is amazing~🔥🔥🔥
This is by far my favorite of solo debut not only out of BTS as a group, but for Kpop in general for me. I’m so excited for you guys to see Like Crazy next, cause it definitely tops Set Me Free pt.2 for me and I didn’t even think it that was possible
like crazy hit me like a wrecking ball and took the 1st place for me like it was nothing. Like first time i heard it i was like " okay im done im out i cant survive any longer " XD
Filter is the last song he wanted to show us, not Serendipity. And Filter is intense in its message, like this song. Still, I didn’t expect Jimin to go THIS HARD. 🔥🔥🔥
Even after 10 years of BTS and army being together they still manage to shock us to our core with these album drops. Chapter 2 has been so amazing so far all of the music coming out of their solo projects has been absolutely incredible. For me this is SOTY idc 🤷♀️
“cultural reset” is a perfect way to describe set me free pt.2 incredibly brilliant and amazingly pulled off that only one park jimin can do. honestly, i was shocked silent when i first watched this and had to rewatch it a few more times just to grasp and wrap my head around what jimin just did 😂😂😂 he is something else and i love him more for doing this. set me free pt.2 is just so different and unexpected especially coming from him, enough that some /people/ hated it. yes. hated it. and i think it’s because they boxed jimin in their own concept of what he should do for his solo work. and seeing and hearing set me free pt.2 greatly disappointed and let them down. anyway, me, as already mentioned, I LOVE THIS. and the rest of the songs on his album. jimin really worked hard on each song and it shows. he really found a way to convey and share what he experienced and the emotions he felt in each song. you guys should watch Like Crazy next! you’ll see why it’s the title track. 😊😊😊 and yes, there is a dance practice video for set me free pt.2 as well as like crazy
I am wow’d by Jimin’s album. He is also breaking records right now. I’m sure you will find out but at the end of the last song at 6:13 he has a special song for ARMY that wraps his whole album into a nice gift and ties with a beautiful bow 💜
Set Me Free Pt. 2 breaks Gangnam Style's record and achieves the biggest first week song sales in US by a K-pop soloist in history!! 🔥 The song debuts #1 on Billboard Digital Song Sales-marking Jimin's second leader and tying for the most #1's by a K-pop soloist.
Lmao you guys accidentally turning out dressed like the backup dancers killed me this is one of those moments where I really think he became the person he needed when he was younger, and I love to see it
LMFAO! Your face as the video started. I swear, everyone reacts the same way. Jaw drops! I've been so impressed with all of their solo releases but Set Me Free Pt2 is my favorite so far for Chapter 2. I love how they incorporated the auto-tune into this dark concept. It's so badass! I'm so proud of Jimin. He deserves all the accolades he's getting for this album.
Thank you so much for this and all the nice things you said about Jimin. This release was met with a lot of unfounded hate and criticism from K-pop fans (like they always do when it comes to BTS), so hearing you two speak so highly of him feels very validating.
I’ve heard a lot of positive response and love for this song, but also I block out haters and don’t follow people who aren’t open minded on my Twitter timeline.
this was such a great great eaction, jimin is such a KING and he outdid himself with this song!! everything is just amazing. i can't believe that it's been already a year since smf pt. 2 came out!!
I am also a person who doesn’t enjoy autotune. BTS (or the house producers) tends to use autotune A LOT, and as much as I love BTS, sometimes I do wish the songs weren’t so much autotuned. However, I know that the autotune was never done to cover up anything but a stylistic choice. With this song, I just understood it. I understood why autotune was used to paint this inner struggling distorted voice. We are literally watching a cinema, a movie of a protagonist going through all stages of emotions, and we can hear the inner conversations with himself (where the distorted autotune comes in), to the final triumphant “setting himself free”. Honestly, I was so affected by this performance that I couldn’t do anything but think about this song and performance for the whole week. I mean I was not emotionally even ready for the title song release. This WAS a cultural reset indeed. I’ve never experienced such feeling before, EVER. I love everything about this album, and I think Jimin is a bonafide artist and a star of his own right.
Finally, someone in this channel clear what the purpose of autotune here 👏👍while others only said it is too loud. 🥺 The autotune is to build up/shade darker vibe into deeper message of the song, nothing to do with Jimin's vocal.
I expected something like this! But not all of the unexpected we got! I loved every second of this choreo! Also the auto tune on his vocals was mind blowing! This was so epic! I always felt Jimin had so much more in him to release! And this just proves it! Congrats to Jimin! So happy for him!
Totally agree: cultural reset by JIMIN. A total immersive art experience. He had input into everything and oversaw everything. A true artist, and the whole thing is like a pure art piece. The music, the dancing, the choreo that says so much about the lyrical meaning, the cadence changes, the way autotune got used for effect to emphasise the meaning it was all incredibly pure art!!!!
Épico, impresionante, espectacular, impactante, maravilloso, ejecución limpia, magnífico, extraordinario, increíblemente excepcional y mucho más.. pero hay algo más JIMIN desde hace mucho se ganó la corona del REY del KPOP, como dijeron el es pieza angular del auge de la empresa y la industria en esta última década así muchos quieran opacarlo con tanto HATE sucede q le temen a su genialidad como cantante, bailarín y todo lo q engloba su talento porque es verdad es un privilegio disfrutar de sus dones, es maravillosamente talentoso... y ser testigos de su crecimiento y éxito es una bendición... ¡¡¡BRAVO JIMIN!!! ¡¡¡AVE JIMIN!!! I LOVE JIMIN.....
The autotune voice and the other vocal effects voices are supposed to be the darker voices in his head. He's using the effects to make them sound inhumane. The dancers are also playing the different voices in his head hence the screaming scene with chaos in the start representing the madness you can feel in your mind sometimes. One of the dancers mentioned Jimin was heavily involved in instructing them what to do to play out the story. The location they're in represents a cage. I'm not sure if you noticed but during the ending you can hear Jimin's background vocals in a much more timid and soft voice pleading "would you please set me free". It's an incredible representation of all the different thoughts in your head in darker times. Jimin did an amazing job and both wrote and composed this song and came up with a lot of the ideas and the concept for the MV. I'm so proud of him
I enjoyed this soooooo sooo much... incredible reaction video... also I laughed really hard when you said at 36:00 , "I don't even know how to describe what j-hope is doing... he's trying to change THE FABRIC OF SOCIETY!"
I've been waiting for this reaction since the mv came out and I got a 41 minute video. Brilliant reaction and commentary as always. Jimin deserves the whole world and I'm so happy for him. Can't wait for the Like Crazy reaction
Antis have managed to spread the narrative that people didn’t like the song while almost everyone who listened to it loved it! They tried to use the auto tune to drag him but every professional spoke about how tastefully it was used! But yet antis opinions have somehow magnified due to people constantly talking about them or replying to them even though it was a small group while everyone else clearly enjoyed it! The song is absolutely killer!
I also felt like he's also referring to all the hate from stans and antis for so many years. Jimin had to get it off his chest! Love the entire FACE album so much!
This reaction was such a boost of serotonin for me! I love the song from the first listen, but let the negativity get to me! I'm so happy seeing other really get it!! Thank you!
Jimin was always my favourite vocalist too. I like that Suga said to Taeyang, "Jungkook is a genius who is good at everything he does, but Jimin is a different kind of genius, who worked for it." I think Jimin developed a voice that no one else can imitate without sounding like a ripoff, and his heart just shines in it.
jimin actually talked with yoongi about set me free in his suchwita episode. yoongi said that he would written lyrics for him, if he knew, but jimin at the end wanted it to be a solo song, because its his first album. he didnt want any features, similar to hobi i guess
he said that since it was about him he didn't feel right having someone else write for him, it's a very personal album and he wanted to write his story
I love so much when people are overwhelmed by Jimin and what he does. I totally agree with your thoughts about how there are going to be young artists in 10-15 years who were inspired by this album. I am so proud of Jimin.
The point you guys made about the ripple effects and some kid seeing the video and doing insane things 15-20 years from now, literally gave me goosebumps...
It's first time you noticed Jimin ALWAYS dances different he dance to rhythm beat altogether he is quicker than other dancers his musicality is levels above everyone i think joining pro dancing since early does affect you in long run people like him are totally on another level
Jimin is my ultimate bias. He's the entire reason why I got into BTS and Kpop. Personally this isn't my type of song, however he does it so epicly, and I absolutely love how you love it. The album as a whole is absolutely amazing. I definitely prefer Like Crazy, very exciting to see that reaction. ❤
Firstly, I need to thank you for the reaction! Kulture Study is definitely my fav review of kpop music. Hope you will react to the whole album or just the main track. I'd love to see it! So, I was a little frustrated when people were saying that Set Me Free Pt. 2 was "too autotune, not fitting for Jimin, a mess". And yeah, I'm not saying you should love every aspect of the song but hating on music is not the way. If you look at the whole album and the premise of it, actually everything makes sense. As it was said, the whole album is « inspired heavily by the emotional impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Jimin as a person and performer, the album addresses "themes of loneliness, wrestling with oneself, and finding freedom". » That being said, heavily autotune song is definitely NOT what Jimin has done before. It portrays the war between himself, exhausting him as his voice doesn't sound human. Pandemic made us all feel nonhuman - stagnant lives inside four walls, interactions between people were minimized to almost zero, losing family members, friends due to terrible outcome of covid. All of it lead to anger and negative emotions. For me, this song is a manifestation of these emotions and was not meant to show his angelic airy voice and be "pretty".
Top tier breakdown! I love the use of auto tune on this particular track. It feels so painful, and suits the mood and message of the song. The choreo is claustrophobic, everything is so nuanced, the lighting, the outfits the - all of it! Haha 🔥
@@luancosta199 there’s no one that can say this song is objectively bad, keyword objectively. It is by far extremely well produced, some producers even saying it’s their favorite BTS song to date. If some say it’s bad, it’s because they can’t get used to the sound, maybe “Letter”, “Promise” or “Like Crazy” is their style cause Set me Free is not that guy lol. As someone who is used to hip hop, autotune, it’s a banger. You have pictures that you can hang in your house. Nice, pretty, you buy it at a store to spruce your background. Then you have that art that makes a statement, bright, bold, harsh lines and designs. You can’t ignore it, it sparks conversation. That’s the one you go to see in galleries, some don’t understand the appeal but those that it resonates with loves it and will spend thousands. This is that art. It’s shocking, a statement and if you love it you LOVE it. Jimin wasn’t trying to appeal to the masses in this song, it is by no means basic. I love the controversy because it is warranted, this song is a statement. I applaud his bravery to come out with this when the last people heard of him was his OST “With You”.
@@musiclover19797ATS WHAT IM SAYING! while ppl are absolutely allowed to have their own taste, the way some ppl were talking about this made if very clear to me that they were expecting another serendipity. They didn't like how the song sounded, but were completely oblivious as to WHY it sounded this way. And I think the "this doesn't sound like Jimin" comments completely missed the point of this album: we DON'T KNOW JIMIN, both fully as an artist an a person. Its absolutely not our place to try to tell HIM what sounds like him or not. And tbh, having more than surface level knowledge of his personality is more than enough to not be surprised by this at all. To me this sounds a LOT like him and his struggles.
This is also my favorite Jimin song. I love every aspect of the production, autotune included. It was refreshing. Somehow, i was not surprised that he came out with this concept. And yes, i was also aching for a dance performance like this. Jimin is such a great dancer and singer so it was such a delight to see him perform.
One of my top 5 most favourite review of Set Me Free Pt 2 this far! Thanks guys for your honest review. I appreciate the term 'cultural reset' and I hope all goes well in Seoul :)
Pdogg said Jimin would end kpop with this and booyyyy was he right! Loved your reaction! Mine was similar with a lot more unintelligible sounds. My favorite thing about this song is how cohesive it is. The triumphant beat, the warcry-esque choir, his sharp vocals, those cutting but fluid movements, the call and response thing in the 2nd verse with the autotune and vocal effects along with the mv set being a concept of a panopticon. And that ending! Breaking free from a watched system of control as well as freeing himself from his own self thats putting shackles on him and his emotions! It was cathartic, liberating, JUST AAAAGH Purging almost! And done in a way only he could. Its amazing. 100/10. And after listening to the album and this being the closer?! Park Jimin has ARRIVED!
Travis, The weekend, Kendrick Lamar etc.. many wellknown“Thinking” artists use unique autotun techniques to their songs. Jimin has a proven amazing vocal so he doesn't needs autotune, but in this song autotune is used like special effect to bring an added to dark tone, mastery to this master piece!~ It's brilliantly placed. 👍👍👍👍
I have never seen PD this excited =)) He's usually so composed, now he's all over the place and it's so cute. It also makes me feel so proud of Jimin. The Jimin effect is truly at its peak in this era.
I liked the auto tune because I understood without jimin saying a thing When you're overwhelmed and voices feel a thousand times louder and more intense. The auto tune fits audio representation. It felt like an attack but cleansing at the same time. This song and mv was extremely powerful and everything was spot on ❤❤
I've been waiting for a reactor who just got how much this reflects Jimin himself as he has always been (if not always expressed), and not some brand new foreign side of him that no one thought he had before. Thank you wholeheartedly for your reaction!
❤❤❤ PHENOMENAL PERFORMANCE JIMIN!!! CAN'T SAY IT ANY BETTER. JM IS TRULY A WORLD CLASS GEM. WELL DONE JIMIN!!! HIS VOCALS HIGH, LOW, AND MEDIUM REGISTER IS IMPECCABLE. THE DYNAMICS OF JM'S DANCE TRANSITION IS FLAWLESS!!💋💋💋 💯💯💯👌👌👌
my jaw dropped the second the intro ended and the music started playing, just watched the mv with my jaw on the floor i was so amazed and surprised. absolutely love this masterpiece
Jimin DEFINATELY doesn’t need auto tune but it adds another element to the song and I am here for it 💜 someone commented somewhere that the auto tune parts were like a conversation with himself and I agree with that. This was amazing!!! And I love how different this and Like Crazy are. Both so amazing but so different. I am so proud of Jimin 💜 Thank you for your awesome reaction 🙏🏼💜 (Please react to Like Crazy) 👉🏼👈🏼💜
The album dropped 3 last March 24 , now the title track "LIKE CRAZY" MV has been out and has been in all charts all over the world. Dance practices for both songs are out now. Jimin was a guest of JImmy Fallon for a talk and performance. I will wait for the album review. TIP: you have to listen to the songs in chronological order. Love your reaction, been waiting for this.Thank you!
There is no one can do Set Me Free Pt.2 like Jimin, If the singer is not Park Jimin, I think SMFPT2 won’t be a epic. That’s what I think about it after I watched this MV. Incredible power. My king.
I hope Jimin watch your reaction to set me free - he deserves all your love for the song, dance and him ❤. Btw, i totally love it, i love he is that aggressive, i love the fucks, the voice in the beginning and his normal voice. I think the autotune part is a musical choice. I love the choreo, i see something new everytime i watch it, love the intensity, the whole thing. It's a masterpice, thank you Jimin, p-dog and the whole crew ❤.
Pdogg (BTS producer/main producer of Jimin’s album) made a sign saying “Jimin will end kpop in 2023” and I 100% agree
yeah because of how trash the song is
all the haters 😭 try harder next time
Yes lol try harder hater’s 🤣🤣🤣
This video was up an hour ago how did you comment 5 days a go my braincells are dying 😂😂

“It’s Jimin.” Enough said 😂
Coming back to this again and again! Jimin's _FACE_ and his other solo works are honestly my favorite from the whole BTS discography.
Park Jimin is extraordinary by nature for sure but he outdid himself in his solo debut. The capability of his to express emotions by his whole body in via dance and signing is astonishing. Hats off.
i thought promise was his solo debut?
@@kaybunny7836 no. he released promise as a single song on sound cloud, as a present for the fans. all of members of bts had released songs here and there on soundcloud as small projects or in the name of mixtapes. this, the album FACE is jimin’s official solo debut as a soloist artist.
G DRAGON THE KING ,,,
The « having to go sane to stay sane » is actually a line in bts’s on. I guess that line resonated a lot with him back in 2020 since he’s bringing it back
Not many caught that. The lyric is a copy of a lyric in the song "On".
I'm surprised. I got it immediately. 💜
Yeah i caught that immediately, its one of my favorite lines.
I thought it was familiar!
@@ideagirl yes! the line after "hey na na na"

Who is people? The only people i saw that didnt "like" the song were bts antis 💀

Jimin was working non-stop in many different things from the vocals choreography and presentation of everything you about music and production
SPEECHLESS❗His whole album feels so personal and relatable to me AND YES, IT'S THE JIMIN ERA & HE IS RULING the WHOLE Kpop❗
Jimin has created an album that is as epic and iconic as Thriller was for MJ or Stairway to Heaven for Led Zeppelin. It will be talked about for decades.💜🫶🏻🫰🏻
Well said and I fully agree. Our man is amazingly talented in everything he does.
Very late is seeing this reaction video, but what I thought after being blown away by SMFPT2 was the same reaction after seeing Thriller the first time!! Incredible and and both (MJ&JM) have changed the music industry. Each in their respective time periods. A true masterpiece and work of art!

also! the autotune wasn't well received by some non-fans (99% being antis) because of how unexpected it was--like you said, we're all used to only hearing his higher register--and it was refreshing to hear an opinion from someone who actually loved and more importantly understood the sound he was going for. i really wish i found this video sooner in the midst of the hateful madness i was forced to witness 😭 your kind words and appreciation for jimin makes me so happy and prideful 🥹💛super excited to watch your Like Crazy reaction!!
Jimin's incredible stage presence is no joke.The song, lyrics, treble note, deep voice, dance, visual are all great. Talented Star❤❤❤❤
The thing about Jimin is that he's not just gonna give you dance, he's also gonna give you the arts.
King of K-pop Jimin set a new record on Spotify a new history of K-pop!🟢
Not Only Jimin Is the First K-pop Artist/ Soloist to Sell Over a Million Copies In One Day Worldwide and
JIMIN Is the First Kpop Soloist to Ranked on #1 Spotify !!~
His album is literally break records wow Jimin his powers is amazing~🔥🔥🔥
This is by far my favorite of solo debut not only out of BTS as a group, but for Kpop in general for me. I’m so excited for you guys to see Like Crazy next, cause it definitely tops Set Me Free pt.2 for me and I didn’t even think it that was possible
Mine too....
Same. I thought nothing could top set me free prt 2 but then along came Like Crazy to wreck me and become my bias.
like crazy hit me like a wrecking ball and took the 1st place for me like it was nothing. Like first time i heard it i was like " okay im done im out i cant survive any longer " XD
Filter is the last song he wanted to show us, not Serendipity. And Filter is intense in its message, like this song. Still, I didn’t expect Jimin to go THIS HARD. 🔥🔥🔥
"At the begining he's behind; like a KING!"
It was so good! So good!
Even after 10 years of BTS and army being together they still manage to shock us to our core with these album drops. Chapter 2 has been so amazing so far all of the music coming out of their solo projects has been absolutely incredible. For me this is SOTY idc 🤷♀️
That's the most impressive about bts.
You don't know what expect from them.
Everytime is always a surprise
“cultural reset” is a perfect way to describe set me free pt.2
incredibly brilliant and amazingly pulled off that only one park jimin can do.
honestly, i was shocked silent when i first watched this and had to rewatch it a few more times just to grasp and wrap my head around what jimin just did 😂😂😂 he is something else and i love him more for doing this. set me free pt.2 is just so different and unexpected especially coming from him, enough that some /people/ hated it. yes. hated it. and i think it’s because they boxed jimin in their own concept of what he should do for his solo work. and seeing and hearing set me free pt.2 greatly disappointed and let them down.
anyway, me, as already mentioned, I LOVE THIS. and the rest of the songs on his album. jimin really worked hard on each song and it shows. he really found a way to convey and share what he experienced and the emotions he felt in each song.
you guys should watch Like Crazy next! you’ll see why it’s the title track. 😊😊😊
and yes, there is a dance practice video for set me free pt.2 as well as like crazy
So surprised for me new jimin 🤭💕
I am wow’d by Jimin’s album. He is also breaking records right now. I’m sure you will find out but at the end of the last song at 6:13 he has a special song for ARMY that wraps his whole album into a nice gift and ties with a beautiful bow 💜
"It's a true and genuine cultural reset" And I totally and completely agree with you.
Jimin is really the King 🙌🔥 So proud of him 😭
Set Me Free Pt. 2 breaks Gangnam Style's record and achieves the biggest first week song sales in US by a K-pop soloist in history!! 🔥
The song debuts #1 on Billboard Digital Song Sales-marking Jimin's second leader and tying for the most #1's by a K-pop soloist.
Cant imagine whats gonna be PD's reaction to Like Crazy
Lmao you guys accidentally turning out dressed like the backup dancers killed me
this is one of those moments where I really think he became the person he needed when he was younger, and I love to see it
BEST SOLO EVER. Jimin surpassed my expectations. Best review too !!!!!!!!!!!!
TO ALL THE HATERS: It's so satisfying Jimin got #1 in Hot 100. He is way more loved than hated. Love conquers over hate.
The whole album is a masterpiece 🔥
It's not a joke, when people call him "King of K-Pop" 👑
JIMIN JIMIN
LMFAO! Your face as the video started. I swear, everyone reacts the same way. Jaw drops! I've been so impressed with all of their solo releases but Set Me Free Pt2 is my favorite so far for Chapter 2. I love how they incorporated the auto-tune into this dark concept. It's so badass! I'm so proud of Jimin. He deserves all the accolades he's getting for this album.
Thank you so much for this and all the nice things you said about Jimin. This release was met with a lot of unfounded hate and criticism from K-pop fans (like they always do when it comes to BTS), so hearing you two speak so highly of him feels very validating.
I’ve heard a lot of positive response and love for this song, but also I block out haters and don’t follow people who aren’t open minded on my Twitter timeline.
Thank you for writing down my thoughts
It’s Jimin!
this was such a great great eaction, jimin is such a KING and he outdid himself with this song!! everything is just amazing. i can't believe that it's been already a year since smf pt. 2 came out!!
The choreography on its own is beyond invigorating and life embracing.
I am also a person who doesn’t enjoy autotune. BTS (or the house producers) tends to use autotune A LOT, and as much as I love BTS, sometimes I do wish the songs weren’t so much autotuned. However, I know that the autotune was never done to cover up anything but a stylistic choice. With this song, I just understood it. I understood why autotune was used to paint this inner struggling distorted voice. We are literally watching a cinema, a movie of a protagonist going through all stages of emotions, and we can hear the inner conversations with himself (where the distorted autotune comes in), to the final triumphant “setting himself free”. Honestly, I was so affected by this performance that I couldn’t do anything but think about this song and performance for the whole week. I mean I was not emotionally even ready for the title song release. This WAS a cultural reset indeed. I’ve never experienced such feeling before, EVER. I love everything about this album, and I think Jimin is a bonafide artist and a star of his own right.
Finally, someone in this channel clear what the purpose of autotune here 👏👍while others only said it is too loud. 🥺
The autotune is to build up/shade darker vibe into deeper message of the song, nothing to do with Jimin's vocal.
I expected something like this! But not all of the unexpected we got! I loved every second of this choreo! Also the auto tune on his vocals was mind blowing! This was so epic! I always felt Jimin had so much more in him to release! And this just proves it! Congrats to Jimin! So happy for him!
Totally agree: cultural reset by JIMIN. A total immersive art experience. He had input into everything and oversaw everything. A true artist, and the whole thing is like a pure art piece. The music, the dancing, the choreo that says so much about the lyrical meaning, the cadence changes, the way autotune got used for effect to emphasise the meaning it was all incredibly pure art!!!!
Yes, you put int words what I could not! So well said!
I may not be a BTS fan. I have a lot of issue with their direction, but this definitely made me a Jimin fan.
Jimin did it. He went THERE
THE MASTERPIECE OF PARK JIMIN
Épico, impresionante, espectacular, impactante, maravilloso, ejecución limpia, magnífico, extraordinario, increíblemente excepcional y mucho más.. pero hay algo más JIMIN desde hace mucho se ganó la corona del REY del KPOP, como dijeron el es pieza angular del auge de la empresa y la industria en esta última década así muchos quieran opacarlo con tanto HATE sucede q le temen a su genialidad como cantante, bailarín y todo lo q engloba su talento porque es verdad es un privilegio disfrutar de sus dones, es maravillosamente talentoso... y ser testigos de su crecimiento y éxito es una bendición... ¡¡¡BRAVO JIMIN!!! ¡¡¡AVE JIMIN!!! I LOVE JIMIN.....
The autotune voice and the other vocal effects voices are supposed to be the darker voices in his head. He's using the effects to make them sound inhumane. The dancers are also playing the different voices in his head hence the screaming scene with chaos in the start representing the madness you can feel in your mind sometimes. One of the dancers mentioned Jimin was heavily involved in instructing them what to do to play out the story. The location they're in represents a cage. I'm not sure if you noticed but during the ending you can hear Jimin's background vocals in a much more timid and soft voice pleading "would you please set me free". It's an incredible representation of all the different thoughts in your head in darker times. Jimin did an amazing job and both wrote and composed this song and came up with a lot of the ideas and the concept for the MV. I'm so proud of him
I enjoyed this soooooo sooo much... incredible reaction video... also I laughed really hard when you said at 36:00 , "I don't even know how to describe what j-hope is doing... he's trying to change THE FABRIC OF SOCIETY!"
I've been waiting for this reaction since the mv came out and I got a 41 minute video. Brilliant reaction and commentary as always. Jimin deserves the whole world and I'm so happy for him. Can't wait for the Like Crazy reaction
Antis have managed to spread the narrative that people didn’t like the song while almost everyone who listened to it loved it! They tried to use the auto tune to drag him but every professional spoke about how tastefully it was used! But yet antis opinions have somehow magnified due to people constantly talking about them or replying to them even though it was a small group while everyone else clearly enjoyed it! The song is absolutely killer!
I also felt like he's also referring to all the hate from stans and antis for so many years. Jimin had to get it off his chest! Love the entire FACE album so much!
This reaction was such a boost of serotonin for me! I love the song from the first listen, but let the negativity get to me! I'm so happy seeing other really get it!! Thank you!
Jimin was always my favourite vocalist too. I like that Suga said to Taeyang, "Jungkook is a genius who is good at everything he does, but Jimin is a different kind of genius, who worked for it." I think Jimin developed a voice that no one else can imitate without sounding like a ripoff, and his heart just shines in it.
Oh FUCK I remember that. Wow that hits DIFFERENT now.
jimin actually talked with yoongi about set me free in his suchwita episode. yoongi said that he would written lyrics for him, if he knew, but jimin at the end wanted it to be a solo song, because its his first album. he didnt want any features, similar to hobi i guess
he said that since it was about him he didn't feel right having someone else write for him, it's a very personal album and he wanted to write his story
@@WastingtimePJM exactly, thank you for specifing, english isnt my first language, so it was hard for me to explain it better
G DRAGON THE KING --
I love so much when people are overwhelmed by Jimin and what he does.
I totally agree with your thoughts about how there are going to be young artists in 10-15 years who were inspired by this album. I am so proud of Jimin.
Respect to 2 genuine ARMYs 💜💜
Jimin Jimin Jimin ✌💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
The point you guys made about the ripple effects and some kid seeing the video and doing insane things 15-20 years from now, literally gave me goosebumps...
That song is so cathartic 💜💜💜
i come back to this video whenever i want to experience this masterpiece for the first time again, so THANK YOU 🥰😍🙌🏼🙏🏼
It's first time you noticed Jimin ALWAYS dances different he dance to rhythm beat altogether he is quicker than other dancers his musicality is levels above everyone i think joining pro dancing since early does affect you in long run people like him are totally on another level
this comment right here... couldn't agree more!
Jimin is my ultimate bias. He's the entire reason why I got into BTS and Kpop.
Personally this isn't my type of song, however he does it so epicly, and I absolutely love how you love it.
The album as a whole is absolutely amazing.
I definitely prefer Like Crazy, very exciting to see that reaction. ❤
Firstly, I need to thank you for the reaction! Kulture Study is definitely my fav review of kpop music. Hope you will react to the whole album or just the main track. I'd love to see it!
So, I was a little frustrated when people were saying that Set Me Free Pt. 2 was "too autotune, not fitting for Jimin, a mess". And yeah, I'm not saying you should love every aspect of the song but hating on music is not the way. If you look at the whole album and the premise of it, actually everything makes sense.
As it was said, the whole album is « inspired heavily by the emotional impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Jimin as a person and performer, the album addresses "themes of loneliness, wrestling with oneself, and finding freedom". » That being said, heavily autotune song is definitely NOT what Jimin has done before. It portrays the war between himself, exhausting him as his voice doesn't sound human. Pandemic made us all feel nonhuman - stagnant lives inside four walls, interactions between people were minimized to almost zero, losing family members, friends due to terrible outcome of covid. All of it lead to anger and negative emotions. For me, this song is a manifestation of these emotions and was not meant to show his angelic airy voice and be "pretty".
Top tier breakdown! I love the use of auto tune on this particular track. It feels so painful, and suits the mood and message of the song. The choreo is claustrophobic, everything is so nuanced, the lighting, the outfits the - all of it! Haha 🔥
Tbh i was rly frustated when some ppl said that this song was objectively bad 😭
@ohyeahwhooyeah yes! I forgot totally about choreo! Everything in this song screams "uneasy" for me.
@@luancosta199 there’s no one that can say this song is objectively bad, keyword objectively. It is by far extremely well produced, some producers even saying it’s their favorite BTS song to date. If some say it’s bad, it’s because they can’t get used to the sound, maybe “Letter”, “Promise” or “Like Crazy” is their style cause Set me Free is not that guy lol. As someone who is used to hip hop, autotune, it’s a banger.
You have pictures that you can hang in your house. Nice, pretty, you buy it at a store to spruce your background. Then you have that art that makes a statement, bright, bold, harsh lines and designs. You can’t ignore it, it sparks conversation. That’s the one you go to see in galleries, some don’t understand the appeal but those that it resonates with loves it and will spend thousands.
This is that art. It’s shocking, a statement and if you love it you LOVE it. Jimin wasn’t trying to appeal to the masses in this song, it is by no means basic. I love the controversy because it is warranted, this song is a statement. I applaud his bravery to come out with this when the last people heard of him was his OST “With You”.
@@musiclover19797ATS WHAT IM SAYING! while ppl are absolutely allowed to have their own taste, the way some ppl were talking about this made if very clear to me that they were expecting another serendipity. They didn't like how the song sounded, but were completely oblivious as to WHY it sounded this way. And I think the "this doesn't sound like Jimin" comments completely missed the point of this album: we DON'T KNOW JIMIN, both fully as an artist an a person. Its absolutely not our place to try to tell HIM what sounds like him or not. And tbh, having more than surface level knowledge of his personality is more than enough to not be surprised by this at all. To me this sounds a LOT like him and his struggles.
This is also my favorite Jimin song. I love every aspect of the production, autotune included. It was refreshing. Somehow, i was not surprised that he came out with this concept.
And yes, i was also aching for a dance performance like this. Jimin is such a great dancer and singer so it was such a delight to see him perform.
One of my top 5 most favourite review of Set Me Free Pt 2 this far! Thanks guys for your honest review. I appreciate the term 'cultural reset' and I hope all goes well in Seoul :)
What are your other favorite reviews of Set Me Free PT 2?
Pdogg said Jimin would end kpop with this and booyyyy was he right! Loved your reaction! Mine was similar with a lot more unintelligible sounds. My favorite thing about this song is how cohesive it is. The triumphant beat, the warcry-esque choir, his sharp vocals, those cutting but fluid movements, the call and response thing in the 2nd verse with the autotune and vocal effects along with the mv set being a concept of a panopticon. And that ending! Breaking free from a watched system of control as well as freeing himself from his own self thats putting shackles on him and his emotions! It was cathartic, liberating, JUST AAAAGH Purging almost! And done in a way only he could. Its amazing. 100/10. And after listening to the album and this being the closer?! Park Jimin has ARRIVED!
Travis, The weekend, Kendrick Lamar etc.. many wellknown“Thinking” artists use unique autotun techniques to their songs.
Jimin has a proven amazing vocal so he doesn't needs autotune, but in this song autotune is used like special effect to bring
an added to dark tone, mastery to this master piece!~ It's brilliantly placed. 👍👍👍👍
I have never seen PD this excited =)) He's usually so composed, now he's all over the place and it's so cute. It also makes me feel so proud of Jimin. The Jimin effect is truly at its peak in this era.
Masterpiece 🔥💜
"Surprising yet intensely familiar" is such a great way to describe this...
I liked the auto tune because I understood without jimin saying a thing
When you're overwhelmed and voices feel a thousand times louder and more intense.
The auto tune fits audio representation.
It felt like an attack but cleansing at the same time.
This song and mv was extremely powerful and everything was spot on ❤❤
I've been waiting for a reactor who just got how much this reflects Jimin himself as he has always been (if not always expressed), and not some brand new foreign side of him that no one thought he had before. Thank you wholeheartedly for your reaction!
"our own color is BTS" I love that. It is very true. Thank you for putting that into words.
❤❤❤ PHENOMENAL PERFORMANCE JIMIN!!! CAN'T SAY IT ANY BETTER. JM IS TRULY A WORLD CLASS GEM. WELL DONE JIMIN!!! HIS VOCALS HIGH, LOW, AND MEDIUM REGISTER IS IMPECCABLE. THE DYNAMICS OF JM'S DANCE TRANSITION IS FLAWLESS!!💋💋💋 💯💯💯👌👌👌
PD you're gonna lose your mind once you hear Like crazy its so in your lane the song, the video, everything I cant wait to see you listen to it!!!
Set Me Free pt2 was so Jimin. I love it so much. The in-house production added such another huge level. Love it. PDOGG marry me.
my jaw dropped the second the intro ended and the music started playing, just watched the mv with my jaw on the floor i was so amazed and surprised. absolutely love this masterpiece
I actually went back and watched Fake Love again after you said that and I agree; that sort of intense, aggressive emotion and dance style.
All the members are releasing such amazing stuff, I can't 😭😭 I love how all them keep giving us so much.
Jimin DEFINATELY doesn’t need auto tune but it adds another element to the song and I am here for it 💜 someone commented somewhere that the auto tune parts were like a conversation with himself and I agree with that. This was amazing!!! And I love how different this and Like Crazy are. Both so amazing but so different. I am so proud of Jimin 💜
Thank you for your awesome reaction 🙏🏼💜
(Please react to Like Crazy) 👉🏼👈🏼💜
The album dropped 3 last March 24 , now the title track "LIKE CRAZY" MV has been out and has been in all charts all over the world. Dance practices for both songs are out now. Jimin was a guest of JImmy Fallon for a talk and performance. I will wait for the album review. TIP: you have to listen to the songs in chronological order. Love your reaction, been waiting for this.Thank you!
There is no one can do Set Me Free Pt.2 like Jimin, If the singer is not Park Jimin, I think SMFPT2 won’t be a epic. That’s what I think about it after I watched this MV. Incredible power. My king.
I hope Jimin watch your reaction to set me free - he deserves all your love for the song, dance and him ❤.
Btw, i totally love it, i love he is that aggressive, i love the fucks, the voice in the beginning and his normal voice. I think the autotune part is a musical choice. I love the choreo, i see something new everytime i watch it, love the intensity, the whole thing. It's a masterpice, thank you Jimin, p-dog and the whole crew ❤.
