JIMIN (BTS) - SMERALDO GARDEN MARCHING BAND (FEAT. LOCO) | PRODUCER FIRST TIME REACTION)

[@AmariLeone]

Man these dudes put in so much work before they left! Really keeping us fed!! 😤👏

[@eirasalo112]

This is not musicvideo it is a music track, they sings live

[@elizaaparecidakmick6590]

People are talking about Sargent Pepper from Beatles. Some people says that the scenary looks like teletubies. All I know is that I can not stop smiling since yesterday. A 56 years young Army from Brazil

[@marshamason-sowell4568]

I definitely get the Beatles & Teletubies reference. The first time I listened to the song, I wasn't quite sure how I felt about it. But the more I listened & watched the MV it has really grown on me. You can't help but feel happy & it seems so Jimin. 65 years young US Army 😊

[@adrianamartinez4268]

When I first saw the video it reminded me the Wizard of Oz.

[@AmariLeone]

I can see both of these references in this video for sure

[@teasersmuchee]

Jiminnnnnn I love you, thank you for thinking o f us, this song is beautiful

[@annanamoose9943]

Jimin said he was inspired by The Beatles “Sargent Peppers” album. I’m glad he was, I love this song

[@janeliong9921]

Yes, they're singing live. Muse is coming out on 19 July.

[@AmariLeone]

Very cool! What is muse?

[@janeliong9921]

Muse is Jimin's second album (after FACE). It's coming on 19 July, consist of 7 tracks including SGMB and Closer Than This. Remember to check it out.

[@dalvaleneboer6841]

I love this song for Jimin. He seems so happy and free. So different for him. I agree, it gives big musical vibes.

[@abbiem7773]

❣It’s Jimin’s voice doing the intro. Also Jimin & Loco sing live, aside from using mics, even wearing ear-ins. ️The “backup band” consists of legendary, genius producer Pdogg, who worked with BTS since beginning as producer & songwriter, also producers GHSTLOOP and EVAN, all 3 also worked alongside with Jimin for his first solo album, 2023’s FACE, which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart, as well as for MUSE his 2nd album that will be released July 19 KST, July 18 in other time zones. During the documentary for FACE, there was even a fun quiz segment where all 4 named themselves Smeraldo Garden Marching Band, which at the time, no one had any idea other then it was just for fun! 🙏😅🤣😍

[@tanc136]

There’s a bit of a link from videos during his FACE promotions which Big Hit producers Pdogg, Evan & Gstloop worked w Jimin on this included & he also called themselves Smeraldo Marching band (their 1st appearance in this video) The 3 incl Jimin wrote this song along w some of same writers/producers he worked on FACE. Also I’ve read in other comments he is singing live here. This was called a music track video & is a pre release to his album MUSE dropping 7/19. And yes ARMY not surprised not many know about it bec BH/ HBE didn’t release a trailer for YT, TikTok. No promotions in general 🤦🏻‍♀️ thanks to ARMY, this is breaking records in 2024. And YES, the Bangtan boys worked nonstop before they left for military service. RS UK mentions the whimsical video was inspired by the Beatles Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Anyway I’m sure ARMY can provide more info!

[@MimiMimi-ph9vq]

Nadie canta como Park Jimin. Su voz es increíble.

[@abbiea1237]

✨BTS‘ Jimin revealed the full track list for his upcoming second solo album, MUSE. Jimin’s quite successful first album FACE, still charting worldwide! The seven-song LP due out on July 19 KST (July 18 in other time zones), according to a billboard article, will feature the intro song “Rebirth,” as well as “Interlude : Showtime,” the pre-release song “Smeraldo Garden Marching Band” (featuring Loco), “Slow Dance” (featuring Sofia Carson), as well as “Be Mine,” “Who”, (single can now be purchased as presale aside from 2 versions MUSE album), and “Closer Than This” (which dropped in December.) Jimin, 28, wrote six of the songs, according to a release, composed, also finally listed as one of the producers for most of his songs, (though shown in Jimin’s documentary his involvement in producing all his songs), which also noted that the announcement from BIGHIT Music featured a vintage feel via images of old-school cassette tapes representing each song, with an overarching theme of “love” connecting all the tracks. The hip-hop/R&B-leaning focus song, “Who,” was produced by Grammy-nominated singer/producer Jon Bellion, along with Pete Nappi, Tenroc, Pdgogg and GHSTLOOP, with a vibe described as “intense bounce and guitar sound.” In addition, the pre-release song “Smeraldo Garden Marching Band” draws inspiration from marching bands, “blending hip-hop elements with the big band sound characterized by a large-scale orchestra, creating an upbeat, lively rhythm and dynamic atmosphere thanks to an assist from South Korean rapper Loco.” Other contributors to the album include Tommy Brown (Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber), as well as producers Pdogg, GHSTLOOP and EVAN, who also worked on Jimin’s first solo album, 2023’s FACE, which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart. Jimin’s official solo debut came with the 2018 single “Promise.” Five years later, he became the first South Korean soloist to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Like Crazy,” followed by FACE‘s “Set Me Free, Pt. 2” reaching No. 30 on the chart. Jimin is still in the midst of his 18-month mandatory South Korean military service, which he began in December; bandmate Jin recently became the first member of BTS to finish his military service.🙏👍❤‍🔥🔥🐥😍💥🌟💫✨

[@peggylewis6884]

Jimin and Loco look so cute, what I love about Jimin is his creativity. I love everything about the video.❤

[@AmariLeone]

This is very creative for sure

[@heathernile4700]

As a sign language user myself...I love how he finger signs "Love" when he sings I love you babe. This is such a feel good song. I'm loving it.💜

[@AmariLeone]

Oh wow I didn't even see that!

[@ceztlavie]

smeraldo is the flower that was referenced in the BTS Universe and in the song The Truth Untold.

[@AmariLeone]

The Truth Untold so legendary bruv, love the call back to it!

[@jimenadominguez7730]

Gracias por reaccionar con mucho respeto a nuestro ángel JIMIN ❤!!. JIMIN volvió a poner una sonrisa en mi cara con su hermosa canción llena de alegría y ternura... cantado en crudo totalmente su voz aguda hermosa. Apoyando a nuestro pollito 🐣💜 de las industrias musicales que siempre buscan sabotear sus canciones ❤.

[@YuhiJu]

The mv is inspired by the Beatles' sgt pepper album! They performed under a fictional band name when they wanted to change their sound and i think Jimin is doing something similar in a fun way haha. Pdogg, Evan and Ghostloop are his producer team that he worked with on Face too. The Smeraldo reference is from Truth untold which is a story of a man who hid himself and his feelings away without ever confessing to his love and here Jimin is kind of playing Cupid getting people together haha. The MV has very Wes Anderson and 60s movies vibes. With some Alice in wonderland and Charlie and the chocolate factory references!

[@AmariLeone]

Ooh yeah I can totally see those influences here! Especially the Srg Peppers one

[@abbiea1237]

✨JIMIN's "Smeraldo Garden Marching Band" (ft. Loco) reached #1 on iTunes in 100 countries, very first day, then went up to 112, following day, becoming the FASTEST Song to reach this milestone in 2024. Jimin's "Smeraldo Garden Marching Band" also has achieved a remarkable feat, including reaching the #1 spot on the music charts in all eight of the world's biggest music markets! 🌎 🎉🎉 This incredible achievement includes the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Italy, and Japan. It's a testament to Jimin's immense popularity and the global appeal of his music. 🙏👍❤‍🔥😍🎉🎊 JIMIN JIMIN #SGMB_Jimin #Jimin_MUSE #SmeraldoGardenMarchingBand CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN 👏👏👏👏

[@abbiem7773]

❣️Jimin’s “Smeraldo Garden Marching Band”, is basically an ever so uplifting, filled with joy & happiness, love song, mainly for army who he references numerous times, like when mentioning “it started on June 12”, which was the actual debut of BTS where they met army for first time during a performance showcase. BTS official debut performance was next day on June 13. Also in the dance, the choreography, including the one for the dance challenge on tiktok, Jimin is even doing in sign language, the hand signs, for I love you, while dancing, ❤️ 👍🙏🥰☺️ The song also is in reference, an homage to the Beatles, as well as Beatles album Sgt Pepper Lonely Hearts Club Band, which Jimin used as inspiration, even singing lyrics “I want to hold your hand”! An excellent clue already happened in the vid: “A Day with Jimin in NYC by vogue, (perhaps you might want to watch it), which was basically a behind the scene, filmed during the time Jimin debuted “Like Crazy” on Jimmy Fallon show last yr. same day his album FACE dropped. It showed Jimin, before going to a dance practice, rehearsing Like Crazy for Fallon tonight show, going to a record store, along with producer Pdogg, who worked along side of Jimin throughout both albums FACE & MUSE. where Jimin pulled out that very record by the Beatles Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club album, even holding it up. It seemed sort of unexpected? Now I wonder if it was planted there? Who knew at the time that it was a reference, a hint for telling just how much of an influence it had toward creating this song & MV. 👍🙏❤️‍🔥🔥😍💫✨

[@user-gy7mv1qf8]

I'am delighted conquered by his new album, Jimin you Genius,I respect and always support Jimin, for 9 years he has been bringing us positivity and Jiy.

[@annwashington471]

The three guys are producers they worked on Face. They came up with this name when producing face. This was live , I think because jimin can't perform this live for an audience at this point and also the guys love to do things differently.

[@eirasalo112]

Based on the hints Jimin gave, I think this song is a continuation of their song The Truth Untold, what is based on an old 16th-17th century Italian love story in the city, "la Citta di smeraldo". The story is about a man who didn't dare confess his love and the object of his love died. Now in this song, Jimin urges you to tell about the feelings of love and not to hide them. Blue and white flower Smeraldo is a fictional flower developed by bts.

[@ThePJMSociety]

This is his pre-release for his 2nd solo album, Muse, dropping on July 19 🥰 There was no promo for Smeraldo Garden Marching Band that’s why not many knew that it was coming out

[@elizaaparecidakmick6590]

Yes, it is live. The Spotify version is diferent.

[@AmariLeone]

I went and checked it out and it's fire!

[@pambarab5506]

It's an album with 7 songs. This is soooo cute! And all of the 3 named band members are Big Hit producers. I don't know if your mother would like this one, but I bet she'd appreciate the wholesomeness of it. 💜

[@AmariLeone]

I am absolutely going to show it to her! Such a great idea thank you! ☺️❤️💛

[@MimiMimi-ph9vq]

Jimin es alegría, es magia.

[@MinSung931]

What should I even start about thissong and mv, well to begin with its such a sweet and happy song that just reminds me of jimin and his personality amity qlso o was smiling thru out the entire thing qnd I was even crying ( like when something makes you very very happy and you can't help but cry this I'd how the song made me feel)

[@Katalina4064]

His album come at the 19 july with 5 inedit songs ❤

[@snd3227]

Loved the song, I love Jimin's singing. Enjoyed your reaction and I'm happy you noticed the live vocal. What you didn't notice at this point 8:44 as I watch this video (I think I worded that wrong). Anyway this video isn't actually called a music video, instead it's called an official video track.

[@AmariLeone]

I didn't notice the difference in video title names so was surprised lol

[@floricaadriana]

Felicitări jimin un înger frumos foc perfect ❤️🫰❤️🫰❤️🫰❤️🫰❤️🫰❤️

[@MariaChavez-ey5sr]

It’s inspired by Sgt Peppers but the MV also reminds me of Wes Anderson movies. It’s whimsical and very Jimin. I just feel happy listening to it.

[@RS-oy6bz]

The Jimin album MUSE Is dropping on July19th. Thanks for the reaction. As always there are 2 ways to interpret. One is the musical video as you see and the other is the Army pov with many Easter eggs. 12th June - the date mentioned in lyrics is the day before debut . But 12 th was their first show case when they first met Armys. Smeraldo - the fictional flower. A reference to it in their BU story line and their song THE TRUTH UNTOLD The lyrics have references to lyrics there. A few other Easter eggs like their hand gestures and making the sign language for LOVE as in PTD.

[@aurachan2726]

It was in live

[@MimiMimi-ph9vq]

Me encanta verle bailar, pero su voz me captura totalmente. El puente es genial

[@Fifieken]

Yes his agency did 1 post for this, the head of streaming at Geffen even disrespected Jm....Billboard made an item about it.

[@abbiem7773]

a newly posted behind the scene for ❣️Jimin “Smeraldo Garden Marching Band” (feat Loco) Track Video behind from bangtantv that I also recommend for you to watch that I’m sure you’d enjoy as well!🙏👍❤️‍🔥😍🌟💫✨ ️‍

[@Katalina4064]

It's a track there are singing live my friend ❤😊

[@samanthamay9779]

Jimin is coming out with full album on the 19th of July... 7 tracks, include this song and closer than this released earlier. Check his in ear. . I think this is live...

[@AmariLeone]

Ooooooh I am excited!!!

[@BABYMONSTER_RORA_RAMI_AHYEON_3]

JIMIN is awesome

[@bp5276]

Great reaction to Jimin 💜 Loco 💜 Marching Band song 🎶💜🌎💜👍

[@Color33]

Happy song 🎵

[@psychokitty71]

Smeraldo is the flower they created for the BU, for the song The Truth Untold. The flower is pink and blue (painted) and appears throughout the BU videos. In The Truth Untold, the person created the flower and then filled an entire garden of these flowers for the girl that he fell in love with. He was too afraid of rejection to actually speak with her, though. Not quite sure what that flower and the garden have to do with a marching band, but that's the lore behind the Smeraldo.

[@marshamason-sowell4568]

Amari, Jimin is the King of bridges! Also, a few others have commented that this is a live vocal track. Two other BTS-related recorded vocal performances that immediately came to my mind were Jungkook's 3D Performance video & his Audacy Live performance.

[@침침-m7e]

리액션 감사합니다 리액션 구경댕기기 잼있다❤

[@juliaesterfernandez5868]

Jimin ❤️

[@alicebandiola7677]

Yes Jimin is singing it live and he sounds amazing! He sang it live because he won't be able to sing it due to MS. He's an angel

[@maureenchang66]

Pdogg and Evan and Ghostloop are the producers who worked with Jimin on Face his first solo album

[@АннаАнна-л2ъ]

у Чимина сложный ум - не обманывайтесь тем, насколько он может быть милым! Трек «Smeraldo Garden Marching Band (feat. Loco)» был вдохновлен альбомом The Beatles 1967 года Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band " - журнал "Rolling Stone"

[@blancanavarro8487]

Smeraldo Garden Marching Band is the name Jimin and his producers, PDogg, Ghstloop, and Evan gave themselves while making his album FACE and this one, MUSE, which will be released on July 19th. They were having fun with the name of the fictitious flower BTS have in their Bangtan Universe and which is mentioned in their song “The Truth Untold”. Jimin and Loco were indeed singing live as this us a Track video, not an MV. There seems to be a throwback to The Beatles’ Sgt Pepper’s album in the video as well as a mention to “it all started on June 12th…” which is when BTS had their firts showcase, though their official debut date is June 13th. I think the video represents the beginning of ARMY with the kids as most fans would have been around BTS’ ages and then it shows them grownup as BTS has also grown up. At the end there is a group of young and old since ARMY is made up of all ages and new fans keep showing up. I loved the song and Jimin’s unending love for ARMY!!! His voice is magical, just like the video!!!💜💜💜💜🥰😊💕

[@Виктория-у2м3л]

It's performance LIVE ✌🏻❤

[@diddiefree]

You were right about the live vocals it turns out. I love your reactions so much. Your breakdowns are always so spot on

[@AmariLeone]

I appreciate that! Means a lot 🥹❤💛

[@valeriacapelloARMY]

Reminds me of Sergeant Piper's band from the Beatles .Or not?

[@niirwana2944]

Seperti suasana Teletubbies

[@diddiefree]

The mv has very Wes Anderson vibes. Like Grand Budapest Hotel era :)

[@megaratnamaimunah949]

RM did this kind of live singing MV too in Colde's song "Don't Ever Say Love Me". Have you ever react to the song? It's an awesome. RM part, as always, is awesome.

[@andrehenderson9306]

His name is ghstloop

[@dktimber8467]

❤❤❤❤😂

[@sandraheasman7908]

They say this is live and they HAVnt called it a video it’s called a track if you read 8t properly!!

[@AmariLeone]

My reading has nothing to do with it; It's called "Official Track **Video**" & I've never seen another official track video from them so I had no way of knowing it was going to be live

[@muha-uf3oc]

this is not mv also wearing ear monitors

[@AmariLeone]

Yep but I totally didn't even see the in-ear monitors at first
