AMERICAN RAPPER REACTS TO -BTS (방탄소년단) 'Not Today' Official MV

[@ideagirl]

Did you say that whole part was shot in front of a green screen? No. They are at a real quarry in South Korea. They very rarely use Green screens. They did in "My Universe". That's because they were in Outer Space. Never underestimate BTS and their production team. It's ok. Lots of people guess that for their videos until they find the truth. Watch the Behind the Scenes. You'll see.

[@DarkWing494]

You don't have to believe us but you can check the making of 12:17 Not Today MV yourself 💜

[@R0S1333]

You can also watch their behind the scenes

[@andreaxyloholt2347]

Was coming to say the same 😊

[@imajinallthepurple]

Yep, they straight up built an entire dance floor at the bottom of a quarry. 💜

[@302-sigraviee5]

You can watch behind the scene. That's not green scene shooting MV in channel of BTS : bangtantv

[@jesicakapika4846]

They actually donʻt like to use green screens for their music videos. Most. actually almost all of their MV are at real locations. Take a look at the Behind the Scenes. Thank you for reacting to BTS and always being so positive and encouraging towards them. They really do work so hard. BTS... aint no one else like them!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@beccal.5369]

💜💜Not Today is inspired by one of the famous quotes by Martin Luther King Jr., “If you can’t fly, then run. If you can’t run, then walk. If you can’t walk, then crawl. But whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward.” It's all about fighting authority and "breaking the glass ceiling." Its 2017 releases coincided with civil unrest in South Korea as a response to governmental corruption. RM confirmed as much when asked about the song by the Korea Herald. "I wrote the lyrics for BTS so we do not stay silent against social issues and injustice and continue to solve it and raise problem," he said. "We talk about social issues, read books and meet with experts and ponder together. We still have a long way to go, but we will think hard and embrace criticism." The lyrics of "Not Today" speak of overcoming obstacles and keep fighting, while instilling hope in oneself. In the opening lyrics, RM calls out to "all the underdogs in the world." It discusses the theme of anti-establishment that was featured in their previous singles "No More Dream" and "N.O.", through lines like, "A day may come when we lose/ But it is not today/ Today we fight!" During the chorus, the band speak of rallying against injustice, corruption and irrationality; "Don’t kneel, don’t cry, raise your hands Not not today." The line, "Break the glass ceiling that cages you" references the idea of breaking all invisible barriers that stop people from succeeding. The lyrics addressed social and political issues (they are trying to rally the youth and let them know life is worth fighting for, possibly in response to the extremely high rates of youth suicide in their country from a generation that feels lost, unempowered and desperate.) Hope you both have a wonderful day💜💜 @2:44 if you think AgustD looks young in this then check out BTS 2013 debut single "No More Dream - official MV - WITH eng subs" kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKWsq4utramKhbs😅😅

[@ideagirl]

Excellent background information. BTS is NOT a bubbly KPop group. They have depth, purpose, meaning, and real protest of any unequalities!

[@yamibakura16]

@@ideagirl just wish they would go deep with the meaning of the lyrics rather than saying it’s dope or rating a 10 because they saw the video.

[@geli8097]

Great breakdown 💜

[@jessicapierce3027]

​@yamibakura16 I do enjoy reactors who take the time to dive in and understand the meaning of the lyrics, but sadly not every one will do that. I do feel this guy's have gained a genuine interest in the music, but they lyrics are not totally what is catching their attention. The sound and the performance seem to be their main interests and that is ok too. BTS is a group that is enjoyed by different people on different levels.

[@xialias1921]

Upping this beautiful comment

[@organiccookie1306]

No green screen here, by the way. We have behind-the-scenes videos of all their music videos and most of what you see in their music videos is real scenery and actual props. Their production team is on another level. They also built that glass platform they dance on, as far as I remember.

[@cindylepo6784]

Over 300 songs. ALL BOPS. They are really just this good. Anywhere in their career.....no skips.

[@ralphy383]

They used to perform this as the second song on their stadium world tour love Yourself speak Yourself. Their concerts start with the most high energy songs.

[@Hotshortie]

No green screen, you can go watching the making of the video. They used drones, a big piece of acrylic, and shot at a mine in Korea. They froze their asses off. I do remember that.

[@sandymartinez5434]

I love that they used part of a speech given by Martin Luther King JR at Spelman College in 1960 in the song. “If you can’t run, then walk; if you can’t walk then crawl.”

[@SuperQueenmommy]

Oh guys... No they don't like to use green screens, and they do like drone cameras on shots like this...I mean look at those gorgeous images from the camera angles.. Our guys are true authentic artists💜💜💜💜

[@ideagirl]

Crow tits are real birds in South Korea. They have a whole song about them. "BAEPSAE".

[@Yoon4Ever93]

Always amazes me how RM and Suga, underground rappers, dance like this!! What rappers/producers can dance like that?! J-Hope, dancer, learned to rap. Others learned to dance and sing. Together they are bullet proof!!!! They get hit for sure (haters), but even if they have to crawl (lyrics) they keep going. Suchwita’s episode today, Suga with Jin, goes into how crazy how they came together, how close they are, and how they never fail to show up for each other 100% when it’s time to work.

[@KashiKay]

No greenscreen here, no greenscreen there, no greenscreen anywhere!! 😂Lol if you check out the behind the scenes you see everything was in fact real. 🤭The reaction was GREAT 💜

[@abbiem7773]

Perhaps you might want to see the behind the scene shooting MV “episode” vids. Also before 2019, only Bangtan subs channel had Eng subs. Bangtantv finally started adding eng subs only later, for these behind the scene vids, that for mainly most, there was no green screen, everything filmed was at locations as well. Also would love for you guys to delve deeper at times into the so meaningful inspirational lyrics. Just to let you know, in this song, when they sang “if you can’t run, then walk, if you can’t walk, then crawl”, it was a quote taken from of Martin Luther King speech! Especially RM, who is one of the main lyricist for many songs, is well read and gets his inspiration from so many things he’s read or seen. Also many of BTS songs have such meaningful inspirational content, as well as theI MV’s that usually have even more messages that aren’t easily noticed at times, that there are vid made expressly for the purpose of explaining the deeper meaning, especially when it comes to Korean words, or phrases that at times require more in depth explanation. I recommend dkdktv, (explained by a Korean), or Bookish Theories, and or xCeleste, to name a few. 👍🙏🥰

[@teresagallagher135]

Not Today live is one of the best BTS songs ever. Army gets the stadium rocking and stomping to the pounding drums and you feel it throughout your body. Army bombs are just waving back and forth to the beat. Awesome experience. If they ever play the SuperBowl this should be their opening song!

[@fi0rella]

thank you for showing love to Not today!! the MV was released in 2017, year that brought tons of amazing songs, MV and content so often times it gets overlooked and it's a whole vibe, a great mfking song!! me like many more are 2017 ARMY! hard to get to know them and not love their music at first listen. They are truly amazing

[@rgober60]

Guys, if you'll click your screen and click on settings then click on picture quality and raise the number higher the fuss will go out of the video. 👍❤💜💜💜💜💜💜💜♥️

[@MISSDEE1353]

You’re going to have to change your scoring system as BTS is above a 10 in 99.9999+ of their songs, mvs & lives. And the only reason I don’t give an entire 100% is due to personal preferences & style. There is soooooo much content that it will take years to get thorough it all. There’s lyrics, mvs, lives & behind the scenes, all for one song. It’s going to be a hard choice for you to decide what to choose.

[@jodyunapologeticallymewest9964]

Green screen.....lmao😂😂😂 whos gonna tell em?!?! 🤣 i love watching new ARMY's!!! Takes me down memory lane!! Thank yall

[@ZariDV]

If you're interested in behind the scenes stuff for MVs, most of BTS's MVs have something called a shooting sketch. If you search of the song name and add 'shooting sketch', you'll see what goes on on filming day. It's impressive to see that the things that seem like it might be green screens and CGI are often practical stuff at it's base with editing on top. They were on location for this MV and it was really a beautiful place. That thing they danced on was a giant circle of ice at the quarry. It's really cool. If you check it out, we'd love to see your reactions and thoughts. Shooting sketches are kind of like dance practice videos in that they're an add perk that comes with songs that got MVs.

[@mikrokosmosmuster7615]

Did you notice the MLK Jr speech inspired lyrics quoted in Not Today? "If you can’t fly, run. If you can’t run, walk. If you can’t walk, crawl" SO MOTIVATIONAL! One of my moto morning songs. 😂💜🔥🙌

[@christinemarie1621]

This is my all time favorite!! Many know this, but they honor Dr. Martin Luther King in the lyrics with his quote from "Keep Moving from This Mountain," Address at Spelman College on 10 April 1960..."If you can’t fly, run; if you can’t run, walk; if you can’t walk, crawl" So special. Makes me love them more!!

[@yammylattan2821]

That's a quarry in korea..you can chk behind the scenes..rarely they use greenscreen.. My universe is one of them

[@bita1583]

I feel like Lamar is pretty insightful picks up more on the lyrics. It would be nice to hear more from him.

[@dariajaruszkiewicz4126]

First thing I watched of BTS was Mic Drop dance, it popped up on my fb, so I watched MV after that Not Today jumped out, it was in 2018 my daughter was 2yr at that time... I became bts fan and my daughter choose RM as her future husband 😅 She's 7 right now and Namjoon is her role model... Thank God, she choose someone who actually have something more to say then s.x, partying, drinking and drinking and dr..s.

[@ashlee4063]

YOU BETTER WATCH BEHIND THE SCENE OF THIS MUSIC VIDEO.. you can see where they really shoot this.. Korean technology making videos are pretty good

[@sarahhese8616]

Not today is what make me look them up n do wn the rabbit hole

[@monimuppet6132]

NOT TODAY is my song! It's the first BTS song that hooked me and I was obsessed with it for weeks on weeks before I finally got motivated to look into more of their music. Everytime I hear it I get reminded of my baby ARMY days. 😊💜

[@janetuss6496]

It wasn't green screen haha, you can watch the behind the scenes to see the filming of their music vids. Do you guys want to get into their show Run BTS? They do different missions, challenges, games, activities, or team building things. Very entertaining, funny and creative. You can understand more of their dynamics, how they work together (or sabotage each other lol). You don't have to watch the episodes in order. Episode 24 is an iconic one, they do a zombie run/haunted house thing while completing missions.

[@fluffinator3701]

I miss BTS old stuff like this, they always went hard af :)

[@sandys1890]

This song paraphrases a Dr King speech..."If you can't run ..walk...If you can't walk crawl"

[@susieangelo6410]

The Lyrics were inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King. 💜

[@yonukdeh]

This is my "go-to-work" song! I deal w/ the public & their beloved pets, sooo...😅 😂💜

[@ummuxadicha8187]

Please next reaction Brazilian Army fanchart

Simmmm 🇧🇷💜

[@junemedford3296]

Nobody does it like BTS the transitions the foot work ooooomg the vocals, the rap every single thing is on point..yeeeaaa thts Jung Kook that you said you know when hes in front in the middle you know its about to explode he does have tht swag confidence shoooot!!!! Love the reactions they killed this choreography 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@editmel]

This is THE work out song! I have it in my low energy spots for when I train for my long-distance runs.

[@debhouckscraftycottage]

High energy and positive message. This was a great one in their older catalog. Thanks for the reaction. No one else like them is correct. I don't watch "other K-Pop" because for me, BTS goes beyond that in their messages, their abilities, everything.

[@jeanniem3313]

I can’t wait to see your reactions to some of their live concert performances! NOBODY in the world does it like BTS. It’s hard to find a solo superstar with as much talent, heart, and stage presence; we have 7 right here.

[@tercilachuvas2398]

Add Baepsae to your reaction list. You're not gonna regret it! 😉

[@candicesmith-mackenzie6303]

The lives for this song are insane. 😘💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🫰🏻

[@MariaChavez-ey5sr]

BTS is not just hype songs but hype songs that could easily be the soundtrack for social, societal, or even personal internal change. There is no coincidence in the timing of this song on an album with their song Spring Day (absolutely requires an explanation video because it’s stuffed full of references to the Sewol Ferry tragedy where hundreds of korean teens died due to govt mismanage and corruption) a song that got them blacklisted on a govt list of subversive artists. This song is what I listen to when I’m upset about injustice like Sewol. A song that sounds like marching soldiers, choreography (which is worth watching the dance practice for it’s epic) that has BTS/etc being shot down by gun fire repeatedly but get back up. Love these guys. Have a great week both of you!

[@peachesbernard7232]

Not Today is one of my favorite songs, good song for exercising. I started watching you guys when you only had 20K subscribers and now its over 30K subscribers. You guys are great reactors. You should watch some of the award shows. The performances are amazing.

[@NikolettNiczki]

It was not a green screen, they BARELY use green screen.

[@sarasouissi6078]

Spring day

[@adhdaguacate]

Maybe it's a little morbid but this song was definitely on my chemo Playlist. 😅😅

[@XOut4This]

The making of the MV shows them in the freezing cold from morning to night. That’s a real circular block that they’re dancing on. This group works real hard. They’re honest and real.

[@melanie_sae]

Their anniversary is coming up June 13th and each year they do a festa performance/concert you guys should react to those they are usually a good mash up of all their songs for that year and throwbacks! ❤❤

[@elnabenoit]

Whenever I need a resilience-boost I listen to "Not Today". BTS can make me feel like anything is possible. I love their united front pushing back against the haters and how they actually ARE bulletproof. It makes me feel stronger to see them so strong.

[@WilliamsAK07]

I love their lyrics, another song that they sang while they were younger and I really like the lyrics is, The Attack on Bangtan Sonyandon (sp?), but in they lyrics it say, will swallow them without fear, I feel like BTS, had to have that mentality while early on trying to make it in the industry!!! I just love their music, lyrics, messages (to ARMY/fans & haters). Their choreography to these BA songs, totally rock!!! Thank you for sharing.

[@annwashington471]

This was filmed in korea no green screen. The piect that looks like ice was a piece of plexi glass that was flown to the location for this shoot.

[@altarehkugler4675]

Ok, cool, I'll be looking forward to these two early songs. I think you guys are gonna totally dig'em😊 Yes! Very good! I enjoyed all your reactions today😊It's fun to watch you diggin' in, and seeing more of these talented guys!💜 The dance practice for this song is pretty cool to watch.

[@NamGiJinS]

The MV is crazy… BUT trust me when I say the dance practice is INSANE‼️

Watch the behind the scene of this particular music video and see that every thing is real no green screen at all

[@ddaniel8780]

This song definitely became my theme song when I first became ARMY and I still look at the video to get charged when I’m low fuel because the energy is insane. Definitely one of my favorite choreographies they’ve done over the years. And this is not shot with a green screen. They were in the mountains. They have another version of this MV that’s the same energy, equally fire.

[@leamandic3404]

BYS ate just unique!! They just motivate you, every time i hear them i get smile on my face 🥰

[@lounaya.3110]

This song is 🔥 Just a note they are saying '' crow-tits '' which translate to baepsae in korean it's also one of their song. The song is great but the lyrics also have so much meaning. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmqQgoGkhNJliLc kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIGXgpWeZ9eLfLc

[@xialias1921]

Alot of my beautiful army family had alot stated a lot of what wanted to say but i wanted to add a few pieces in. This song was inspired by a quite from Martin Luther King Jr. during a time of unrest in South Korea. Another comment below explained which quote beautifully already so i will continue from here. I giggled a little when you thought it was filmed in feont if a green screwn because i remember how cold the guys were when filming this video. It was so freezing lol Anyways i suggest moving forward, that some songs you also do a lyric video because i understand that mvs can be overstimulated. We can suggest the better lyric videos along the way and then you can enjoy all the glory behind the mvs. Mind you i do not doubt ypu guys are reading lyrics but some songs the lyrics mean so much that we wish for you two to soak them in

[@abbiem7773]

BTS live performance I recommend: ❣BTS "Hip Hop Lover" [ENG SUB] LIVE by Bangtan's Corner. This so LIT, totally hype song, gives homage to all the hip hop artists that meant so much, & inspired BTS all throughout their lives while growing up. This performance was from BTS 2015 HYYH On Stage performance in Japan. Also has the so very important English subs on screen!

[@leeswhimsy]

NOT a green screen guys. They try very hard to do everything practical. When CoVid hit, they used some green screens cuz you couldn't travel or have large groups together, etc. But this one is not a green screen. They will build entire complicated sets just to keep all the effects practical. (The only exception outside of Covid times I can think of right now is Idol).

[@C-GODPROP3377]

As a hard arse/West Indian Mom/at my 55 yrs of age/Aka 'Army Mom'. Think back - Boys. In your country of 'Murica. WHO and WHICH....from the Jackson Fives to now have ever....done what dis tiny S.Korean group of BTS (today) have achieved and have the largest fan base.......of all time. Do you see where EGOS come into play..in your country? Before Jin...and now Hopie and Rm soon to follow - were forced into the S.Korean Army? Were I Rhianna (we're from the same Island - Barbados)..or a Beyonce...from Kardi B to Drake (with his failing arse today) Travis Scott....given that BTS has the LARGEST FAN BASE IN THE WORLD....I'd be 'begging them to write/do a duet'. Thus introducing 'The Army' to my Music \fan base...look at J. Cole...Hopie (and their collab) brought YOU GUYS to US. no? Never heard of him (honestly) before but checking his past Music now..LOVING n sharing IT. Pity your 'HUGE 'Murican artists'...continue to 'snub their nose' and live in denial....at the BEST BOYBAND OF THE CENTURY...just 'cos.....English 'ain;t their 1st language. The Racism is real......Boys'NGirls. Where is 'Next Direction' today? Even their sorry arses paled in comparison back then. But I digress. Didn't trust you guys in the beginning. Seen many bullshitt*rs in here (over the yrs)..... kept quiet but after checking many vids.....now 100% trust and have shared your channel/vids. BTS Army? Share the love and welcome these two guys as 'Baby Army' into our Global family........Borahea 💜💜💜💜 Edit: Not sure if you guys saw this video but....do check out 'The Most Rabid ARMY at a BTS concert'. 'Cos BRAZIL'......to this day - WINS.. HANDS DOWN. They literally sang every lyric..screamed..danced...from beginning to end like it was Carnival in Rio.. was INSANE 🤣🤣😂😂 In terms of 'which BTS Army' (around the World).......turnt up? BRAZIL Army musta learnt Korean and their arses ...SLAYED. Sorry to all those BTS ARMY in LONDON...(90,000) Wimbley Stadium but.. Brazil's PASSION for our boys. Listening to hundreds of thousands ARMY in that Stadium - kinda brought a tear (back then) their love..devotion....crowd enteraction. OFF THE CHARTS. BTS even said in later interviews. "BRAZIL was so crazy? LOVED. THEM. If we didn't have our ear pieces? They were SINGING OUR SONGS...over our voices the crowd interaction was off the charts...One day. we'll return" BTS Brazil Army? Don't play...and clips from THAT concert is used even today in many BTS documentaries. Never trumped..to this day. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppaxkH9-q9KUraM check at 19:45. The rich ...arsewipe.....who had a 'Private Box' to...said concert.....and his vid was included.....Good on you F*cker. Would've personally back handed your arse into next Year. Were I next to you. But? *shrug* Do you both understand......how (GLOBALLY) we ride HARD for our Boyz And may be millions are....quietly watching your channel? Ps. No one on this page even sleep or dream of coming for Ms.Michelle (who stood behind our boys since 2016..long before many dismissed/ignored/laughed at them ). I SAID...what I said. Stay safe Fam 💜💜
