• B.A.P

[@Ikillyouwithhugs]

I'll try to explain the story to this video the way I saw it, it's gonna be like a full blown essay so thanks for reading it if you actually do! First, B.A.P are a gang/a group of hit men in this video and Himchan (the one with the short black hair that low-key looks like Spock that the main guy was following in the alleyway) is the leader of the gang (the opening scene is basically just to set that narrative up, nothing to do with the main story line). Jongup (the guy with blue hair and was the only one alive at the end) was obviously mentally unstable from the scene where he continued to shoot the guys dead body multiple times, Himchan was starting to notice something is up as you can see because he stopped Jongup from shooting the dead body and then Jongup threatened him with a knife. Since Jongup was full of greed and was mentally unstable he kidnapped Daehyun's (the main character in this video) girlfriend/fiancé/sister (they didn't specify who she was so I just assume she was one of the three) in order to control Daehyun and get him to do whatever Jongup wants. The first hidden message on the back of the picture in the beginning told Daehyun to go to the alleyway so he did and then Jongup came up behind him, held a gun to his head and gave him the new package. He got pictures of the girl being tortured but she was still alive. In the box that he received was her severed finger, there's a director’s cut of this MV with no dancing at all and is all story line and in the director’s cut you actually see the severed finger fall out of the box when Daehyun drops it. On the back of the pictures that came in the envelope it said "kill the informant" so he goes and shoots that guy in the car (the guy giving them their targets). Daehyun is so torn up about the girl being taken and not being able to do anything besides follow these commands from this anonymous person, so he starts drinking and starts a fight at a club when someone pushes him away from the girl he bumped into. This scene is important because Himchan (leader of gang) shows up and basically is like "pull yourself together" and this shows that Himchan cares about him/is a fit leader but it also shows that he notices something is wrong with Daehyun. Daehyun wakes up after being dead drunk and finds another photo of her in his fingers, this is the point where Daehyun comes to know that it's an inside job since someone had access to his place to put the picture in his hand, so it's someone from the gang. The black and white scenes with Yongguk burning documents, Youngjae and Zelo arguing over money that Youngjae skimmed (in the beginning you see them putting money in the duffle bag but Youngjae stuck a stack in his coat pocket secretly), and Jongup continuously shooting the dead body are flashbacks and are suspicious things each one of them has done so he's trying to figure out who it is by those memories. When they're all sitting together at the round table with Himchan pointing at the glass chalk board thing, they were planning the event that happened at the end (maybe a drug shipment pick up or a robbery to be held or something, no explanation on what it was supposed to be). Daehyun is looking around, paranoid and trying to figure out who out of them is doing this. He knows it's one of them so he smells the paper in his hand and notices it smells like that disappearing ink that was on the first picture he got in the bar so he goes to the bathroom and runs water over it to make it appear, the message says "Kill Himchan", since Himchan is the leader Jongup wanted to get rid of him so he could be the leader and have power, probably also to save himself from being kicked out and/or killed because Himchan was realizing that he was mentally unstable and coming unraveled. That's why Daehyun was following Himchan in the alleyway with his gun but Himchan knew Dae was following him so he got Dae off his trail then surprised him and took his gun, but he didn't kill him because he cared about Dae and knew something made him do it. After Daehyun failed his "mission" of killing Himchan he got a text which was an address, so he ran to the address in the text. If you notice, the scenes of him running are in color but as soon as he passes the alleyway, it’s black and white then it shows him outside of it in color again. This hints that something grim is there. In the alleyway he obviously found the girls dead body, Jongup killed her because Dae didn't do what he was supposed to. Then he got the text saying "game over" because essentially this was all just a game to Jongup. Then the last scene, Jongup had turned in the group to the police it looks like, at this point he wants all of them gone so he can have all of the money to himself. They have that big shoot out and everyone dies except Jongup because he had the bulletproof vest and played dead after getting shot the first time. At this point he walks up to Daehyun who is barely still alive making Daehyun realize Jongup was the one behind it all a long so he holds his gun up to Jongup to try and kill him but obviously he's too weak to fight so Jongup simply turns the gun on Daehyun and kills him. Then it flashes back and reveals to the viewers (us) that Jongup was behind it the whole time. The poker scene at the end is essential, Himchan was going to take everything but Jongup immediately set his cards down and took everything instead. This is important for a few different reasons, it shows Jongup’s greed for money and it may also show that there was tension or strife between Jongup and Himchan, it could also could have been a hint for them that he would also take everything away from Himchan outside of the poker game. So, there you go, he did all of this out of greed, pride and being mentally unstable! So sorry for the super long essay but I wanted to explain it as best I could because it’s just such an amazing story! Obviously, there are some plot holes like Jongup staying alive with only a bulletproof vest while all the police in full on gear died but I chose to ignore those because the story was just so good xD

Also outside of that whole essay, B.A.P actually had a HUGE fanbase and would have been one of the biggest groups from Korea right now if their company TS didn't mismanage them and also mistreat them (forcing members out of the hospital and on stage to perform, not paying them, ect). Korea is conservative in real life about guns ofc but many iconic gangster and Noir films have come from Korea! Even Korean Drama's that air on TV sometimes have gangster concepts. Most people just see it as an interesting and intense story.

[@33Shawny]

Yes sir, Warrior was in fact their debut. One Shot was actually pretty early on as well, coming out a year after debut. Skydive was closer to the middle/middle end of their time as a group. B.A.P had SOOO much potential when they debuted and were quite successful however as most of us fans know, their company was quite literally the worst with treatment and promotion. The whole lawsuit and hiatus caused a drop in popularity unfortunately. I always feel so lucky I got to experience a few of their live shows because they are AMAZING live and wish more people got a chance to. Id suggest: 1004 (Angel) Young, Wild & Free Wake Me Up Hands Up Power Honeymoon The next few are a whole other side to them you have yet to experience lol That’s My Jam Stop It Feel So Good Ok I’m done lol

[@isalvim]

one of the most iconic music videos ever

[@ayleafang1188]

One shot too 😅 I'm emotionally invested in their MVs lol.

[@GitaPutriDryastuti]

OH SHOOT! ANOTHER B.A.P REACTION! FINALLY! Anyways, yes, Skydive was released in 2016, 3 years before they disbanded (😭😭😭), which is why they look older. Also, you're reacting to the normal version of the MV which is actually not as explicit as the Director's cut version. By the way, even tho B.A.P is known for their badass and dark concept, they also have songs that showcase their goofy side. I recommend Feel So Good and That's My Jam if you're interested in seeing their goofy side. Thank you for reacting to B.A.P again and PLEASE do more reaction of them. They're a great group that had an AWFUL agency and they deserve so much more love. Thanks again for reacting to B.A.P! Stay safe and stay awesome!

[@2ndKidd]

lol FUN FACT: Not sure if you've noticed, but in Asia, since they have great gun laws, guns are honestly not as taboo to see in films and such as say knife violence (which doesn't have as much laws against and is a more common irl violent occurrence). One example I can think of off the top of my head was the Monster MV by RV's Irene and Seulgi. The official MV was released almost a day later than the song because they had to cut out a scene of Irene holding a knife, and if you watch the final cut, Seulgi has a bunch of scenes with a gun and even pointing it at the camera. It's always funny to see North American's be concerned about the lack of censorship because of all the gun violence in the US BAP was set to be such a big global group. If BTS didn't "pave the way" later, BAP had the potential to do it beforehand. Too bad their company was the trashiest of trash. Verbal and physical abuse, neglect, cheating their artists off their own money, you name it. TS ruined ALL their talented groups, and are literally the only company I can think of that has been sued by EVERY group and artist they've signed

[@pajdawblis]

They are still forever my favorite boy group no matter how long we have to wait for them to reunite. I will forever love B.A.P. They were definitely in a league of their own :)

[@ELmayberry]

OMG... B.A.P I don't know if anyone told you this but B.A.P had a little competition going on for who "Died" and got "shot" the most. Also a lot of fans started calling them Betraying Ass People, as their Acronym instead of Best Absolute Perfect😂😂😂

[@esnmon559]

Songs included in this mv are -Skydive -Confession (instrumental) -Fermata (instrumental) From their album "Noir" B.A.P really had a diferent concept from other kpop groups back then and until today, such a versatile style specially in the rest of the songs on their albums if you are interested one of his best albums in my opinion was "First sensibility" So sad that they were so underrrated :( anyways thanks for react to B.A.P

[@moondaughter1004]

Okay so Skydive was actually released in 2016, Warrior was released in 2012 and One shot was released in 2013. I don't really know how Korea felt about this music video but B.A.P did actually win a couple awards with it. They are older in this MV but they were pretty young when they debuted. The youngest member was like 19 or 20 in the MV. So there's like a pretty complicated story. I would recommend checking out this video where they react to it, Jongup tries to explain it and the other members fool around doing nonsensical voice-overs. Link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmfCmKCGjbmLd6s Warning: you might not be able to take the MV seriously after watching it. The tattoos that Jongup had in music video are fake but 3 of the members have real tattoos. Btw while they mostly do have dark concepts they have a few lighter ones too. For example Stop it, Feel good and That's my jam are more fun wacky concepts and Where are you? is a cute concept. Actually you should check out a guide of them. They are very different from their image. They were pretty chaotic and got along well with other groups too including Seventeen.

[@lenamorverand5626]

Yes 3 members of B.A.P have tattoos, and the older sister of Bang Yong Guk, the leader and rapper with the deap voice, is a tattoo artist, so it's not really surprising that Yong Guk is the member of B.A.P with the most tattoos!

[@aRedBaroness]

I think part of the reason BAP gets away with the blood and gore, is that if you pay attention anytime there's bloodshed they switch to black and white, I'm pretty sure that allows them to skirt censors a bit. It was the same with One Shot, even if it was in colour they desaturated the eff out of it so blood appears black.

[@lizlizard8145]

Oh my God a B.A.P reaction!! I loved them so much back in the days, they were so talented! Actually i continue to stan every single one of them now.

[@buleiqi]

Whenever I see a reaction video of BAP, I just feel like a proud mom T_T

[@3dgrade]

Warrior - 2012, One Shot - 2013 and Skydive - 2016, their last group song "Hands up" was in december 2017 They aren't just unique. They were ahead of their time: singing about social issues, mental health, unfairness, about the fight between "weaks and strongs", their song "Ribbon in the sky" dedicated to Sewol tragedy and their anger about korean polititions that tried to hide the truth about that tragedy, their song "Pray/Confession" (Zelo&Yongguk) is about depression and an attempt to help people with that. They always stay true to themselves and to the fans, they don't follow trends but make MUSIC in their own style. They are really role models for BABYz (fandom name) as they are kind, pure-hearted persons. They are really bad at lipsyncing, so 99.9% of their performances are live, their voices are great and sound the same as cd versions. Jung Daehyun is one (or maybe even not one of but the one) the best vocalists of all time. They have that diversity in genres; they write the lyrics, their make those hard choreos and plots, they produces their songs and so, so on. There is the reason why BAP stands for Best.Absolute.Perfect. Thanks for the reaction♥

[@pioacademy811]

BAP the legendary band...

[@mistqueen1792]

I know this is an old video but i've noticed that everyone requests their serious songs, but BAP does have fun songs like That's My Jam and Feel So Good or even chill songs like Coffee Shop and Where Are You? What Are You Doing?

[@ayleafang1188]

“THEY ARE REALLY GOOD AT DYING” 😂 seriously thought you were going to say acting. Lol. But dying works! 🤣🤣🤣

[@drememberist]

Skydive is a masterpiece. Check out also 'Wake Me Up' another powerful track and message.

[@suzannekraft4545]

BAP was amazing. I still listen to their music all the time! Thank you so much for reacting to them!!

[@isalvim]

the wrong timing with the subtitles bothers me until this day lmao idk how the company never fixed it

[@Ikillyouwithhugs]

Because TS is trash lmao

[@isalvim]

@@Ikillyouwithhugs indeed

[@KSS352]

If he thinks these are wild is he going to watch Yongguk's Yamazaki...because he may pass out.

[@greycichavezpaucar7235]

[@silverwindow16]

[@edimulo3903]

[@z123z456z789]

they have toooo many good songs in their album, i think you may try to watch their live performance. like COMA, Excuse Me, Punch, they even can ROCK, like the song "Dystopia"

[@upintheskyye2226]

Please react to more B.A.P M/V ♡♡♡♡♡

[@BeliebGrandelicious]

Ah I'm so sad you didn't have the shock factor of Jongup being a traitor in the end. But to be honest it's hard to follow the story the first time you watch it (plus the subs being super out of sync). I really miss BAP and their movie MVs, cause they're fantastic.

[@KpopPrince]

Yeah the first time through is really hard in terms of getting the whole storyline

[@BeliebGrandelicious]

@@KpopPrince Haha yeah so much happens at once. They gotta add in a storyline, but also show the choreo and stuff, it's a lot for just one watch

[@user-wy4no2fh2i]

I really enjoy this reaction 😍 Can you react to Bap-Wake me up please ♥️

[@sayalisaid3838]

Love poem by IU- live clip. Reacttttt😭
