American Rapper REACTS to 지민 (Jimin) 'Set Me Free Pt.2' Official MV

[@BlackPegasusRaps]

The Makeup comment got a lot of y’all riled up haha. Don’t sweat it,, HES STILL SUPER TALENTED AND DOPE! No makeup is just my preference I didn’t care for it when the 80’s rock bands did it or Michael Jackson. Just not my thing. Doesn’t take from their talent. Take it how you will.

[@g.s.7]

It may be so you ' dont care for makeup' but you have harped on it in your previous jimin videos so perhaps once is enough

[@TheTwil1]

Your lights aren’t strong enough to warrant STAGE makeup. Your lights don’t fade you out. They remove it when the stage is finished. Your inexperience is showing. Should you ever make it the big screen (cough) feel free to go raw.

[@pvplive75]

I agree with you BP. But tbh, I cannot get down with this over-produced shizz.

[@menohero_menovillian]

Makeup for guys or girls can serve two purposes. 1) to just enhance natural features; 2) To look totally different. For either guys or girls, i don't like the latter. However, all celebrities have to use makeup on camera. you just have to. or else the lights will wash you out and you can look like shit. When they wear makeup, it's just to prevent that. It's not like they're using makeup to look different. There are other k-pop groups that use make up to make them look like entirely different people, and that type of makeup i don't like.

[@SilverFang95]

Then how about shutting the fuck up about it from now on.

[@lacon4]

The writing on Jimin's chest is by German poet Rainer Maria Rilke. When translated it reads: “I live my life in ever-widening circles that stretch themselves out over all the things. I won’t, perhaps, complete the last one, but I intend on trying. I circle around God, around the ancient tower, and I circle for thousands of years; and I don’t know, yet: am I a falcon, a storm, or a mighty song.”

[@hortbeck]

He's been criticized in so many different ways over the years, from his voice sounding like a girl and then people not believing it was his voice without autotune. So in my opinion, his verses are auto tuned kinda saying to the critics - yes this is my autotune voice and then the chorus is his natural voice without the autotune.

[@paotome]

I'm a 43 years old woman, and mother. I always love dark music, punk and metal. I had friends who wore heavy makeup and eyeliner. Depeche mode, The Cure, Kiss, Aerosmith... I can name many bands that used a marked make-up. Even current bands and singers from USA and Europe. It’s really not a big deal. Korean culture has different standards of beauty and men groom and care a lot, they do not have a fragile masculinity.

[@aprilforgue]

I am 53 and grew up on metal and rock, but BTS is my favorite group. Each one of the members is super stars. I think they look great with or without makeup. If you watch enough K-pop, you dont even think twice about it. I had the same reaction with auto tune. Jimin had never used auto tune before since it was his first solo album and his first mv. I wanted to hear his singing voice because I knew how great his voice is. He experimented and was trying new things. At least the whole song was not auto tune. He has another mv off the album called like crazy. One of my favorites off the album is face off, and that has only lyric video.

[@crystalsnow1138]

Yes, he's a member of BTS. The chest tattoo is not real, it's a German poem. But Jimin does have numerous real tattoos. Every entertainer male and female wears makeup, it's really not a big deal. And I barely notice the makeup on the members, if you see them completely barefaced they don't look that much different. The makeup just enhances their natural features. Now if you're wearing enough makeup where you look like a clown, that's a different story.

[@mabelmoon7759]

Jimin is beautiful with or without makeup so it doesn't matter to me.

[@mitzydupre7172]

Plus what people don't realize is all the lights and projectors that their skin is under for 2 hours long they need to protect their skin it's not just lighting at the bar lol like football the Black stripes under their eyes for the reflection the same on stage but on the eyes lids and under but like woman highliners.

[@Mutatedcorpse]

its normal anyway. especially in korean culture. you could be walking down the street in korea and you'd see a lot of guys wearing makeup. It doesn't mean they're gay (as if thats even an insult anyway) and it doesn't mean they're feminine.

[@goeienacht]

I don’t know why all of these comments keep trying with this guy. He’s not reacting for fun/interest, he’s doing it to garner views/subs because he saw other reactors hustling their way into the bts reaction section of KZbin. There are many genuine, cool new fans reacting on here and he ain’t one of them, so people should just pull back and not be used by this random dude.

[@arlettecollado2720]

As a latin woman, it was a shock for me too to see men with make-up, but understood later on that it's part of their artistry. Jimin looks just as good without make-up. He's one of a kind ethereal and androgenic beauty.

[@goeienacht]

Okay but Latin male artists have worn makeup too, so huh?

[@rbsmmm]

I’m 62 yr old fan of bts since 2019 and jimin is my favorite. He has his own unique expression of music and performance so now that he is doing solo projects, I think he is really exploring and experimenting with his voice , his movements and dance to come up with the best. To me this is true performance art.

[@tracydowd4013]

PDOGG made The interesting thing about the vocals, the very first part where he says "I gotta good time, yeah time to get mine, I wandered in a Maze, Hennesey and night" - That was JIMIN's sing/rap lower register, not autotune. The autotune came in next with "I never stop, I never stop" Then his high vocal tone "Repeat, again", and THEN he went back and forth from autotune phrases to high vocal with no autotune. But he used it in an artistic way to emphasis his feelings of anger or agression. The second verse was more agressive and had more autotune until it evened out around where he sings It's begun, my prime time. and it came in a couple more phrases with autotune and he sang the last verse and chorus with just his higher vocal range singing voice. I've been listening to JIMIN's voice for years, and I know where he was using his voice and autotune. You just didn't like how his regular lower register sounded. That's fine, not to. but Jimin did an amazing job with this song. He got across the message he wanted to. This is the last song on his EP, and it was about his experience looking back on the time period of the pandemic up until their Las Vegas Concert/Grammy's performance when he started writing his album and working with a couple members of their production team on it. He compared it to a song camp. They would work, dring, eat, sleep and work again. He lived at PDOGGs house for a while during the process. Jimin doesn't need autotune. His vocals are amazing. Any live performance will show you that. He an amazing artist. The makeup is part of the performance. They wear it when they are pefforming and when they are on the red carpet, etc. They don't wear it all the time. We know them by their names and their skills. And BTS debuted in 2013 as a Hip Hop Idol group in South Korea, and they are all doing solo projects right now.

[@emmajane2806]

About the makeup thing: K-pop is a package where multiple things are put together to create a finish product. What I mean by that is that when a song comes out it is not just about the song. Yes it’s the main focus, the main product but there’s also the choreography, the outfits, the hair, the makeup and the setting. Behind every song and album there’s a concept, a theme, and everything I just listed are made and added to the song to create a finish product that’s pleasing to the eye. That’s why everyone who reacts to a K-pop videos or performances are impressed, it’s because everything is purposely put together to make you say “wow”. Wether it’s a girl group or a boy group they all wear makeup to fit the aesthetic of the song and the concept behind. Another thing to have in mind, in Korea, beauty is a very big thing for both genders. If you have a really nice skin for example you’re going to get a lot of compliments. There’s a lot of beauty standards and if you meet those beauty standards you are going to be well accepted in society, have a lot of job opportunities, friends… whereas if you don’t meet those beauty standards you’re going to be look down upon. Obviously I am generalizing it, it’s not always like that but it is something that us, foreigners, have to know to be able to comprehend their point of view and here, how K-pop works.

For me as a 31 year old women. I love them with or without makeup. For men in general it doesn't matter to me. If they are being themselves with makeup on in daily life or working in the entertainment industry, it makes no difference to me.

[@JeonJungkook-wr4yr]

I'm 31 and been a fan from 2013 when they debuted. We love jimin no matter what. BTS has shattered records like the Beatles record and Michael Jackson record as well and other records they shattered as well. They have sold out Sofi stadium and the stadium in Las Vegas they bring in new army everyday they have nor only taken over America but the world as well.

[@alicesworld1]

70 year old BTS Army here. Do you realize that many male (and female) news anchors wear makeup? Lots of male and female rock musicians wear makeup. It usually gets sweated off eventually but they start out with it. Same with BTS. A ton of it is used on men (and women) in theater as well. It is common knowledge in show business of all kinds that when studio lights are used, faces wash out and lose detail. In dark lighting, some complexions need illumination with makeup containing small amounts of iridescence. Is it common in their business? The answer is yes and they have a team of professional makeup artists. They don't wear it offstage/off camera. You sound like you don't understand something that has been around for a long time. Professionals don't think anything of it. It is odd to hear it even mentioned. I never heard anyone complain about Prince or Michael Jackson wearing makeup. Have you? If you were using better lighting you would probably need it too. It's 2023 and autotune is here to stay. It is part of modern music.

[@loreenabarney3261]

JIMIN has had haters and death threats and has been through alot. And his album FACE if you listen from start to finish its like a story line. His album is beautiful just like him.

Is Kpop the only genre that wears make-up? David Bowie and KISS in the 70s, big hair metal bands in the 80s like Motley Crew, 80s pop like Duran Duran, Boy George? Don't know why so many guys comment on makeup when it comes to Kpop as if they started the trend.

[@BlackPegasusRaps]

I wasn’t into any of them wearing make up either. That’s just me, i’m old school. It’s okay just not my thing

[@OT7_DopeOldARMY]

@@BlackPegasusRaps Sorry, but that’s not about being “old school.”

[@psychokitty71]

I know that this was months ago, but I just found your videos. I wanted to comment on the makeup thing. K-pop is unique in that their music industry, as it is today, first started in the 90s, after MTV started airing. Because of that, visuals are just as important to K-pop as singing and dancing, if not more so. Singing and dancing can be taught, visuals, not so much. The make up is part of that but the idols also use it as a sort of shield or protection. It hides the flaws and imperfections of their skin and gives them more confidence. The BTS members don't really need the makeup since they're all very good looking without it, but they also get very self-conscious without it. They grew up wearing makeup and it has been a part of their lives and their culture for years. BTS members have been idol trainees since 2011, so they've been singing, dancing, rapping, and wearing makeup for 12 years. To them, and to anyone familiar with K-pop, it's normal.

[@kailambert95]

Lots of Asian countries value skincare and wear makeup. It’s just a natural thing which is perfectly fine! They are beautiful and handsome no matter what. Honestly, if more men, and let’s be honest, women too, especially westerners where toxic masculinity is so prevalent, took care of their skin like Korean men do, they might not be so wrinkly and aged when they are like 50. There’s a reason why Asian’s always look like 5-10 years younger than they are. Respect to them. They’ll still look amazing at 80 when everyone else is nasty and wrinkly 😂

[@karinacasco1895]

47 Million views should give you a hint if we like them with makeup 😂😂😂😂….. But being serious i think the makeup thing is more a cultural thing … in Korea all idols ware makeup and is not seen as bad. Personally I don’t caree if they ware makeup of paint their face blue I admire them bucease they are amazing artist, musicians and performers 💜💜💜

Men in the west wear makeup too, all entertainers male and female do no matter where they are from.

Jimin is a member of the biggest group in the world- BTS. They are not just a typical KPop idol group. They are global A-listers. They're the only artist who got 3 number 1 albums in less than a year since The Beatles. They have broken records set by The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Celine Dion, One Direction etc. They are not just known for being great singers, rappers and dancers but also, their Korean lyrics are so deep, meaningful and inspirational. The message they send through their lyrics, music and artistry resonates with the general public because they tackle depression, anxiety, mental health, discrimination, social expectations, injustices, self love, hard work, following your dreams etc. They have 3 English songs Dynamite, Butter and Permission To Dance which they released during the height of the global pandemic to bring positive vibe and hope to all their fans across the world. Their 3 English songs are not really that deep compared to their Korean songs. The seven members are all songwriters, producers and composers. Although they have in-house producers, they are actively involve in writing, composing and producing their songs from their debut album in 2013 to their solo stuff until now. Their music genres include Pop, Disco-pop, Hip Hop/Rap, Latin Pop, EDM, R&B/Soul, Ballad, Funk, Synth Pop, New Age, Moombhaton, Electronica etc. Name it, they have it. As of March 2023, they have already won over one thousand awards and counting plus individual awards with 28 Guinness World Record. They top Billboard, Itunes, Spotify, and other music platforms. They sell out stadiums across the globe including Sofi Stadium, Allegiant Stadium, Rose Bowl in the US and the legendary Wembley Stadium in England in less than an hour. Getting a BTS concert ticket is like hunger games.Their music videos are insane but they are better live. Their fans ARMY are not just screaming teenage girls but people who are in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s even 60s and 70s. Aside from Michael Jackson, I've never really seen any western artists or boy band performed better than BTS. Here are some recommended songs for you to discover BTS' discography.

If you are interested you can just search them and see for yourself. There are 3 rappers and 4 vocalists. Rap Line: Kim Namjoon (aka RM)- Wild Flower, Still Life, Joke, Indigo Min Yoongi (aka Suga / Agust D)- Seesaw; Daechwita, First Love, Agust D, Interlude: Set Me Free Jung Hoseok (aka Jhope)- Jack in the Box, Arson, Chicken Noodle Soup, Day Dream, Hope On The Street (Collab with J Cole) One more thing, BTS especially Jimin have already broken toxic masculinity long time ago that is why they are now gaining more and more male fans. So if you continue reacting to BTS, I hope you'll stop making a fuss over them wearing make up. His make up is actually not much. He looks different if he wears too much make up. He really just has great skin at 27. LOL! I'm 48 years old and I'm a BTS-ARMY. Thanks a lot. BORAHAE💜💜💜

[@genciebowlin9477]

Jimin is unique in vocals and dance. Jimin does not usually do autotune but chose to do it in this song. Jimin can really sing and has a beautiful voice as you can hear in Like Crazy in the beginning. He hits an A5 note in one of his older song Let Me Know. Try listening to his songs Lie and Serendipity.😊

[@OnlyForThem13]

From a man that was raised with no toxic masculinity issues, men wearing make-up should NEVER be a deal. Male actors wear make up but no one bats an eyelid. Alice Cooper did & it was loved but a pretty man wearing pretty makeup has people riled. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Hell, more men should take pride in their looks imo, there's nothing wrong with men wanting to look beautiful. As for the auto tune, no one likes auto tune when it's used to mask/hide not great vocals but when used as a way to portray a story, dark vs light I think its definitely an enhancement. When someone reads a story I would walk off if told in the same voice and tones. The place you pointed out at the beginning is his actual voice but his lower register. I didn't finish watching I'm afraid only because I remember once before you mentioned about Jimins make up. Good luck & Stay healthy.

[@xRaptorScreamx]

BTS met up early on with Coolio, to learn about hip hop. Also, if you want clear voice, just check out his Lie or Serendepity solos. They mix Korean and English, sometimes Japanese (for Japanese songs)

[@menohero_menovillian]

I am around your age (female) - I like manly men. like Chris Hemsworth, Michael B Jordan, those kind of manly men. I think attractiveness comes in many forms. Men like Chris, Michael, etc are eye candy. They are visually attractive. When I was first introduced to BTS, I teased the person that introduced them to me. I thought they were super feminine looking too. They wore makeup and their voices were very high. I too questioned "are these the type of boys people like now-a-days"? I am a hip-hop lover and when i heard that there was someone in the group named "Rap Monster" and i saw RM in really questionable attire and hair style, my first reaction was "this dork is called Rap Monster?!?!" i could NOT take them seriously. Fast forward a few months and after diving into the rabbit hole, RM is now my bias *face palm*. and every one of the other 6 members are my bias wreckers. Every time one of them comes out with something new, i'm like "oh, he's very talented/loveable too". What made me fall for them is their talent, their hardships, their perseverance, their work ethic, and how they are choosing to use their influence for good. I am also a HUGE Kobe Bryant fan and they give me the mamba mentality vibe. We are so used to entitled artists now a days. Always looking for the easy way out. Always wanting the fame and fortune, not caring what message they're sending and what example they're leading. Wanting to be the 'legend' when they don't deserve it. It was really refreshing to find a group that is NOT like that. If you give BTS a chance, you will find out why they are so popular. They are a super humble group even though they are at the top. They give back anyway they can and they don't take things for granted. They make boss moves. These boss moves are what really sold them to me. I can write a novel on it, so i won't start here. I'll let you figure it out on your own. But that's also why I fell for Namjoon (RM). He is the leader of the group and he is super smart. I am quite sure he had a hand in a lot of the groups' decision making, and they are brilliant. Back to attractiveness. Yes guys like Chris and Michael are visually attractive. they will get all the attention right away. But when that attractiveness expires (eg, when they get older, or if they gain weight), what's left? That goes the same for women. You might like a girl coz she's hot, but when she get's older or bigger, will you still be attracted to her the same way if she has nothing else to offer? BTS goofs around all the time, so you see their cute/fun side, which is one way of attracting people. Then when they are in the zone (when they are on stage or when they are perfecting their craft), they turn on their Mamba Mentality. And that's another form of attractiveness. and if you ask me, that form of attractiveness out weighs visual attractiveness by 100000000%. And the kicker? if you're attracted to someone for their personality and talent, that attractiveness doesn't go away. and it actually results in charm and physical attractiveness that becomes much more sustainable. Which is another reason why BTS has been popular for so long, and most likely will continue to be popular for many years to come because their attractiveness is within and not just on visual looks. BTS has like 400 songs in soooo many different genres. I can honestly say, i don't love all their songs. Some songs are just not my cup of tea (musically). HOWEVER, if you give them a chance, on the surface layer, you will find a sound that you like since there's soooo much music out there. if you go down a layer, and you read the lyrics, you will find that there's depth to the lyrics. first layer usually sounds like a love story or break up song, but then you'll realize that if you dive down another layer, it's actually maybe a love story for the fans, or the members, or for themselves. and if you watch the live performances and see the emotions they put into their performances, it'll touch you. if you go down another layer, there's probably another underlying message. and sometimes there's a layer of philosophy, or sometimes it's a message or story that runs through their albums. And when you start to piece these puzzle pieces together, you'll understand why they are so popular. There's something for everyone. If you're someone that just wants a catchy tune, and watch a video that's visually appealing, they have that. If you are someone that appreciates lyrics, they have that. If you want to feel like you're reading a novel or poem, they have that. If you want to learn about politics and social issues, they have that. I could go on, but that is why their fans can range from young children to people in their 90s. their content can be very mature and thought provoking. I am someone that has a lot of thoughts, but i don't know how to express them or place those thoughts into an order that makes sense. But Namjoons' lyrics really helps me place those thoughts into words. And that's why he is my bias and what made me attached to the group. It's like he understands my thoughts and put it into words for me. When someone touches you that way...that's an attractive attribute that sticks. that doesn't go away. and when he created that bond with me, he visually started to look more attractive to me. His charm now seeps through his pores. Another example would be Jin and J-Hope. I think slightly after i kinda got to know the group, Jin and J-Hope were my least liked. I didn't understand Jin's role in the group. I didn't understand his humor, and he gave me old pervy uncle vibes with bad dad jokes. But diving deeper, his charm seeped through once again. There are videos i can recommend to showcase this without me writing another 10 page essay. As for J-hope, omg is he super talented. Visually he's not one of the most appealing ones, but there are documentaries and clips of him in his dance leader mode. Like in the Lollapalooza documentary, his attention to detail was really impressive. There was also another clip of him watching a new k-pop group dance to one of BTS songs. J-hope was laughing and having a good time until the beat dropped and they started doing the choreo. his eyes honed in, he went all serious, and the subtle movements of his head (like he's doing the choreo in his head and watching them intently) and once the choreo was done, he went back to regular happy go-lucky J-hope, and that was SUPER hot. i think biologically, women are attracted to manly men because many generations ago....a physically strong man represents someone that can take care of the household. They can go hunt for food, and build things. Now a days there are so many people that work out to look good, but what do they with their strength? nothing. but our brains were taught over the past generations that this is what you should consider attractive. In reality, I think it's when someone is very competent or focused, or passionate, or talented, or good-hearted, or determined about something is real attractiveness. i have never commented on posts on social media, but after diving into BTS i'm finding myself commenting. I guess it's a good way for me to put some of my thoughts into words. i just realized i wrote an essay so i'm going to stop myself here. If anyone wants to get into this a little deeper, let me know =D

Because their music is artistic, really creative and both BTS and it's Label BIGHIT promised each other from the start they would never release music that would embarrass them, their mission statement is "Music & Artists for Healing!" Yeah this is Jimin's 1st attempt at using Autotune to, he's the BTS member that usually sings the high (& super high) notes, people often mistake his voice for a females. KPop is all about making sure the Visuals (of performance) are all on point - hence makeup etc matters. BTS = 7 members - 1. RM 2. SUGA 3. JHOPE 4. JIN (oldest) 5. JIMIN 6 TAEHYUNG aka (V) 7. JUNGKOOK (aka JK) RAPLINE - RM (BTS) Leader, SUGA (aka AGUST D) & JHOPE. VOCAL LINE - JIN, JIMIN, V & JK (aka JUNGKOOK) DANCE LINE - JHOPE (Lead dancer: background - hiphop underground dancer), JIMIN (Main dancer - background: contemporary dance), JK & V - BTS main dancers. 1. BTS formed in 2010 2. BTS debuted in June 2013 3. BTS lived, learned, worked, practiced together 3 yrs before debut. 4. HYBE is the umbrella company 5. BIGHIT is their label. 6. Jin is serving 18months in the military now, JHope will leave soon. 7. All the others will follow to all reunite by 2025. 8. HYBE with 69M is likely bcoz ARMY (BTS"s fanbase) is known to have from 60 -90M+. 9. BTS will not & don't participate in PAYOLA, so airplay was non-exitent,. 10. They've worked their asses off & have the receipts to back it up & that's why their fanbase grew so huge. BTS & ARMY are protectivè of each other. AND YES B.P. you really are way too ol' skool lol 😂😂 What attracts me most is their genuine, openness, normal, humble, nice, caring, kind, sweet guys, who are hilarious & crazy af 😂😂 Hiphop may have originated there in the US though it's changed so much too ... yet it's reach is global and is loved globally. BTS has done their research, studied hard, were true to their misic & love of hiphop, fought against all the bs by haters in/out of the industry & honours the music & the craft. Bro there's no Western "boy-band" that comes close! Just sayin' 😅😂 These guys only just started releasing individual members 1st albums after 10yrs - the music industry esp in the US ignores the groups achievements, it's likely to try to undermine the individual members efforts, but it doesnt matter - BTS literally have an ARMY for a reason lol 😂🎉😅 SH*T Itried to keep it short lol😳🙄

[@hasibahmdadnan]

I actually don't understand on all the makeup hassle. Every person appears on TV wears makeup. Is it because they are clean shaved?. Btw, they look almost the same without makeup. Very seldom I see Korean idols or actors having facial hair. Yes, Jimin is part of BTS. Which one?....one of the vocalists (they have 3 rappers and 4 vocalists). They are doing solo projects since they need to go for mandatory military service. Currently the eldest member Jin, already in the military since last December. Btw, Jin in military looks the same like he used to in BTS (minus the hair of course).

[@rina-3601]

I believe he is their lead dancer and one of the lead singers. Another Korean sensational group is called FORESTELLA. They cannot be labeled. Their are four individually talented stand-alone artists. They are a visual feast to watch with outstanding Theatrics, amazing composition and they have their own ARMY of followers just like BTS. Bohemian Rapsody, Despacito, Utop[ia, Nella Fantasia, just to name a diverse selection.

[@brendamiller5785]

The poem (temporarily) on his chest was carefully chosen by Jimin.

[@cruezacarvalho9606]

Amo Set me Free maravilhosa linda demais coreografia voz TD perfeito parabéns 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@yomarysanchez6263]

Bts the group were jimin is from is the biggest group in the world! They work in US too. They are mainstream. American radio doesn’t play them much bc of the xenophobia and racism. They had 6 #1 song and 3/4 albums in billboard if I’m not wrong. They have more international fans than korean fans. They are beyond kpop. Just bc they are not from America doesn’t mean that they are not famous or not talented. US is not the only country with huge artists. They write their songs also…..

[@sanarnal1757]

I am a woman. First of all, makeup for them is just something for work. In their normal lives and most of their programs about their daily lives, they do not wear makeup, and I am okay with both cases.

[@heathernile4700]

He has seven tattoos 1) 13 on left wrist 2) Nevermind on right rib cage 3) youth behind left ear 4) 7 on left pointer finger 5&6) forever young on triceps 7) moon cycle down spine

[@NB-wm6gl]

BTS... They won me over through dancing, singing, rap and most of the lyrics are good, there is no violence, no drugs... Even if I don't understand their language, I don't have to worry about what I'm hearing... on the contrary, their lyrics are good

[@AnthonyRay]

LET'S GOOOOO

[@tigerlilyem-o9s]

I like men who are well-groomed and comfortable with themselves. I personally don't give a f*ck wether they like to wear make up or not. Their personality is what matters more.😂

[@kaleeidoscope7304]

❤❤❤JIMIN❤❤❤

[@saigeajones]

Jimin is beautiful with or without make-up. Just think about Prince he wore make-up and was very sexy and all the women wanted him.

[@hortbeck]

I am in my 40s, I don't hate the makeup in videos, I understand that's part of the Korean culture. I wouldn't want to see it in real life.

[@crystalsnow1138]

Every entertainer male and female wears makeup, it's not something that happens only in South Korea.

[@hortbeck]

Yes, just in different styles.

[@toriq1241]

BTS, especially the rap line, was heavily criticized at the start of their career for wearing makeup by the underground rap community in South Korea and they were essentially being called women and not rappers worth respect. That's why a lot of ARMY will jump at you for saying anything about them wearing makeup. We understand that not everyone cares for it, and we understand you don't mean anything bad with your words. We, as fans, are just very protective. There is also a difference between wearing makeup on stage and wearing makeup on the street as an individual. Korean idols are expected to wear make up, but honestly (for me personally) if makeup makes someone feel more comfortable in their skin then I don't really care because it isn't my business.

[@bamatruong]

Hip-Hop you say? Well, BTS started as a hip-hop band. They have 3 amazing rappers, RM, Suga and J-Hope. May I suggest Ugh!, Ddaeng, Outro: Tear, BTS Cypher pt 3 or 4, Hip-Hop Lover, or one of their solos, RM-Joke, Suga-Daechwita, J-Hope-Daydream. Always remember to put captions on to get the lyrics which they always are known to be deep and meaningful. They also KILL it in their live videos.

[@rauhinawinitana540]

Yes! JHope worked with Crush last year 'Rush hour'. Great collab.

[@OT7_DopeOldARMY]

I understand his English perfectly. Not sure why you can’t…he isn’t singing it with much of an accent at all…or at least it’s no worse than a lot of American singers. I mean, the long-standing joke about people mis-hearing and singing wrong lyrics is a well-known joke for a reason. Your deal with men wearing makeup IS offensive. These men wear it for the same reason American artists (actors, singers, etc.) do when on television or stage. If you think they don’t, I don’t know what to tell you because you are just flat misinformed. Your finding something wrong with Asians doing it is why you get beef from us about it. How did you feel about it when it was 80s hair band rockers that were doing it? I’m 56 years old and I think nothing of it, so it has nothing to do with your age.

[@yomarysanchez6263]

Exactly!! He says those things about makeup bc jimin is Asian. If he was a white rockstar from UK the make up thing wouldn’t came up. Is the stereotype of Asians men not being men enough… that can end up to racism. This reactors need to educate himself lol.

[@crystalsnow1138]

It's like when reactors react to Mic Drop which is what over 50 percent English and they always say I can't understand a word they are saying.

[@marciamoore154]

K-pop is about the performance and style not just a song therefore makeup is no different than an actor or TV star. Although this 75 year doesn't mind makeup on a man to enhance a look. Jimin is a dance prodigy and can do any genre of music. All of BTS individually are capable solo artists and will return as group by choice around 2025. In the meantime BTS has about 350 songs and dance practices for you to check out. Jimin's album Face sold over 145 million in first week only because they ran out.

[@rauhinawinitana540]

His live vocals is indeed like going to church, you can delve in more if you like. But Jimin's true voice works wonders. His producer PDog produced his album Face. PDog works with BTS in much of their music, although all members have input into them also.

[@leonelcrs5184]

Thank you for the reaction, next reaction bts jimin LIKE CRAZY.. NEW SONG

[@JeonJungkook-wr4yr]

Army is active and so powerful as well

[@gillianhenderson8973]

Hi, from UK living in Spain.. Love these guy's 😊

[@donnacampbell676]

The reason why they used auto tune is because Jimin has such a beautiful angelic voice that it wouldn't match the lyrics.He said F all your OPPS,Hennessey at night, F off and so they used auto tune to make it sound more edgy.If you listen to Jimin's voice a little more you will understand. Listen to Lies and Serendipity.Jimin is fine with or without makeup they don't wear makeup all the time.😅Also Jimin is a very humble person just like the rest of BTS.

[@livelovelife32]

The auto tune is just being used stylistic lol. I love it but different music tastes are the spice of life. Thanks for checking Jimin music out. This is from his first album and I'm really proud of him. He has some anxiety over his music so I'm happy he overcame it and put it out anyway. About the makeup: all artists in entertainment wear makeup. In the east the makeup application in entertainment seems to be the same for both genders and so is more obvious on males. I personally don't care. There are times I've disagreed with the amt of makeup used but that's more on the makeup artists. I've seen many videos and pics where none of the members are wearing a lick of makeup. Namjoon (BTS leader) is spending this time travelling everywhere and barely remembering to wear sunscreen lol. That alone confirmed for me that the makeup is for the stage or if they're dealing with the public.

[@addison5938]

Yes of course I've gotten a lot of inspiration from other performers however they are not attempting to copy any of them with their choreography. They work with some of the top choreographers in the world.

[@yoongitrash2699]

I definitely appreciate that your looking into korean stuff more. Bts has a lot to offer!😊

[@aprylvanryn5898]

The beat was nice

[@heathernile4700]

I am a 46yr old woman and I remember hair bands in rock that wore a heck of alot more makeup. Makeup is a necessary evil because the stage lights wash out most colors. That is why costumes are usually deep colors or white, depending on the look that wants to be achieved. So no I don't see an issue with men of any culture to wear makeup.

[@stefaniekritzler6401]

I’m a 46 year old horse trainer, mother of 4 from Iowa. I had no interest in make up, man buns, colored hair or piercings before I became Army. Now I’d be okay with my husband choosing any of those things, but I don’t need it. These 7 men are beautiful inside and out. Besides hair bands in the 80 s were crazier than BTS

[@lisamapu7964]

Totally get what you're saying about the make up. I got into Kpop a few years ago & yes he's part of BTS. Please react to more BTS MV so you can see the group very talented. Please please more BTS reaction!!

[@addison5938]

The writing on Jimin's body is a German poem. Here's the text. Ich lebe mein Leben Poet/Lyricist: Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) I live my life in growing orbits which move out over the things of the world. Perhaps I can never achieve the last, but that will be my attempt. I am circling around God,around the ancient tower, and I have been circling for a thousand years, and I still don’t know if I am a falcon, or a storm, or a great song.

[@sunnydonnelly5436]

fvkin enjoyed it a super lot. gold tier sonic material. 🤘

[@namuu6125]

i LOVE it when men do make up cuz i think its now a typical way to take care of yourself, well excessive makeup isn't for daily routine but if its for artistry then i think they should really use more!

[@anmiro1555]

Super! .e encanta esa cancion cada vez que la escucho wow! Wow! Wow!¡🔥🔥🔥🔥☺💜💜

[@kaleeidoscope7304]

❤❤❤

[@giny2633]

Hi, I an a 22 year old dutchie and I've been a fan of bts for over 6 years😊 Just wanted to add a point of view to the make-up topic. The era of toxic masculinity is indeed over, it's a turn-off if men are insecure about their feminine side. If you feel too manly to cry then that's a red flag. If wearing a little liptint affects your confidence, then that's a red flag. If a man does not feel the need to help out with female unpaid work (family care, household chores) then that's a red flag. Research has shown we need to move away from a toxic masculine society to become more equal and fair 😅😊 And surpassing "feminine" qualities like make-up contribute to that.

[@rauhinawinitana540]

Like make up? well they only wear it when they perform, but their natural faces are just as visually attractive. So the make up I have grown accustomed to it. But since I've seen them without make up, I acknowledge it's for entertainment value, however, I prefer make up free. There's seven members.

[@btstakescareofmewhenimsick4892]

You are the 2nd reactor i've heard saying the beginning of the song sounds like Gangsta Paradise, which i agree. Lol

[@OT7_DopeOldARMY]

Which would be cool since Coolio mentored them.

[@Mutatedcorpse]

its normal. especially in korean culture. you could be walking down the street in korea and you'd see a lot of guys wearing makeup. It doesn't mean they're gay (as if thats even an insult anyway) and it doesn't mean they're feminine.

[@sandys1890]

Yeah we take issue with people calling them a boy band...There are THOUSANDS of groups containing all girls or all guys in Korea.....They are called Idol Groups...BTS is one of the only ones with creative input....They write and Produce a majority of their music

[@sandys1890]

Jimin can say that opps line..( a lot of people take issue with it) .Hes actually had death threats before.....I didn't like the first part at beginning...But after listening to it several times I changed my mind

[@Laura-vg2rf]

Did Prince wearing makeup bother you too ? genuinely asking

[@AyshaaJemima-th1fp]

React Jimin ,like crazy

[@Launibu]

I would love to see this song in the trailer for some movie.

[@dariajaruszkiewicz4126]

Finally someone noticed that😂 When I mentioned Coolio some people were like,,Whaaat.." I guess I'm not only one 😅

[@mitzydupre7172]

The letters are a German poem that goes right it the subject of his song. About the makeup I have to tell you that they need it with all the lighting and projectors that they are under on stage or for photoshoot they need to protect their skin plus like at football the black stripes under the eyes are for the reflection of the light , its the same for them but would look stupid on stage so it's on the eyes and under like an highliner. It's pretty sexy yeah I prefer that a man put makeup on than a beard with a hunting style.

[@Robin-sz2ku]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉😊

[@ot7bts382]

Korean music industry is overpowering and ruling on a different levels of making and mixing their music nothing in comparable to american music making. The views of their music videos will make the noise. Theyre far more talented than americans. Multi talented. Just saying maybe its time to come out from your shell so you can relate much wants happening outside your world.

[@IPurpleBTS81]

Why is it American men forget the 80s music scene. Prince, David Bowie and so many artists wore make up for artistic performances. Why all of a sudden is it so taboo??

[@lorettacastaneda2758]

You are not used to the Korean entertainment industry, we live in a country where looking macho is the norm. Not everyone lives by your fashion standard for men. I am a 58 yrs old woman and I understand that other countries have different ways of doing things. This is just new for you. To me wearing your pants down to the knees looks ugly but cool to others. You have to have an open mind when you react to artists from different cultures.

[@annwashington471]

Men in korea wear makeup for the same reason women do , to make their appearance better just like women. It doesn't take away from a man being a man because he wears makeup we all want to look our best.

[@leafie1970]

I had to watch this, my daughter adores Jimin, but I love Ren :)

[@pranee3100]

I am 68year old lady I not too old for all that you say!! I think you still young what you talking about 🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣💜💜💜💜💜🇸🇭🇸🇭

[@candicesmith-mackenzie6303]

I am 55. You are a little out of touch 🤣🤣🤣 Tom Selleck really?? ( I did love him when he was Magnum, but you have to adapt) Now, for me, it's Kit Harrington, Michael B Jordan or Jungkook. I love BTS. I have never liked "boy bands" before unless you include The Beatles and Led Zeppelin. They are something else. Its like the Wu Tang Clan had kids with MJ and Prince(makeup)The makeup is part of the Idol culture, but it is nothing new. I grew up in the 80s, and almost everyone in music had makeup on. Bowie, The Cure, Boy George, all the Goth bands and even all the hair bands had makeup. Because of MTV. Videos just started. It was crazy. Do you not remember??? I get if you don't like it lol, but it is the trend. Image how hot you would look with makeup. 😍 It does stem from being on stage and exaggerating your looks otherwise the lights wash you out. Believe me I know, I am so pale, I look like a ghost without it on😂😂😂 As all of us ARMY will keep saying BTS started as a Hip Hop group. Listen to Anthony Ray he will steer you in the right direction. 😘💜🫰🏻 And p.s. they knew Coolio from American Hustle Life 😪 rip

[@JeonJungkook-wr4yr]

It's a German poem on his chest

[@miazaki336]

You should reaction to "serendipity" by Jimin, you'll fall in love with his vocals 100% 😩❤️+ bout the makeup remark it's his opinion guys, as you see he's not hating on jimin or smthng like that y'all should chill out c'mon 😂

[@Mrs.Jeon_1306]

10:43 it’s written on his body no shirt 😂 It’s a German poem

[@PrettymomCha08]

In my opinion i don't like men wearing makeup on a daily basis especially if they're just at home or running errands but if it is required for a certain situation like for a concert, shooting MV's or movies yeah i have no problem with that coz who would watch an artist looking sick or pale as a ghost? Most of asians got small eyes that's why they need heavy eye makeup just so their eyes can look bigger on screen or from afar. And as for the auto tune, Jimin got one of the beautiful voices in the world maybe they just added it to enhance the vibe or mood of the song not because he needs it. He can sing beautifully without it. There are songs that overuses autotunes but songs like this that used autotune to multiply the mood and vibe of the song is perfect.😁✌️

[@susijosyntyessaan]

I am little bit late commenting (10 months :D) but the makeup thing is not an issue for a person who is also fan of metal music or a lot of rock genre in general. I don't limit people's expression such as makeup since it is doing no harm. Sometimes people should just consider that it is different cultures, you know there is plenty of other countries and cultures than US toxic masculinity and conservatism.

[@sanarnal1757]

U should watch like crazy by jimin it’s dope

[@kisi9121]

Ou man Jimin is different, he is so hot ;his personality, dance, moves, voice, sweet sexy cutie beautiful/handsome..so many things. Normally i dont like when men do makeup but bro Bts make it with style. Jimin is amazing. Autotune is hot thing in music now, this is one of his songs, do Jimin Like crazy next

[@dktimber8467]

makeup is a cultural thing for them. The whole song is about enter dialog with himself. That is why he used auto tune.

[@crystalsnow1138]

Every performer wears makeup, it's not only in South Korea.

[@shengsvlog9939]

Bilingual Armys translate the lyrics into their own language almost real time for non-Korean fans.
