BTS (방탄소년단) - IDOL OFFICIAL MV REACTION/REVIEW

[@parkjiminismylight6441]

Since everyone is talking about the Nicki collab I want to point out that the colorful suits aren't from american fashion style but are Ankara prints, from African culture since this song is a fusion btw South Korean and South African beats and instruments

[@nanaboo0809]

Ty for pointing that out because everyone seems to be ignoring or unaware of the fact that there is lots of African representation in the song and video as well as the choreo.

[@aria8789]

thank you for pointing that out

[@Lladyk95]

Yes

[@Janae_j]

AMEN 🙏🏽 TALK ABOUT IT !!

[@downagain6806]

Tq fr this interesting bit of info!

[@Esmidoen]

as a South African the song sounds sooo South African. they used alot beats from the Igqom genre. and the dance moves as well .. they did the gwara gwara which a famous south african dance move

[@AdilsGirl-Latoya]

South Africa!!!! I was dancing along. I felt so in touch with this mv

[@junlucas4322]

Asmaa Alli I know right?? I can easily see my mates from high school jam to this 😂 even the whistle sound effects in the beginning and the beat reminds me of “Omunye” from Distruction Boyz 😂

[@aidaluamba7818]

Yeaaahhh 😢😢😢

I loved! 😍😍😍

[@kindDictator]

Bruh they fucking danced the gwara gwara omg😩

[@brisscruz6126]

guys support bts by streaming Idol original MV By the way idol ft nicky is amazing

[@patriciabarbao]

Jimin's heart Do you mean by watching it here on youtube or streaming it Somewhere else?????

[@brisscruz6126]

I mean to go to original MV idol on ibigbit 🎵💜

[@infireseok6587]

I read that as gays support bts by streaming

[@nicole980]

Just incase you didn't know know this song is influenced by South African dance track music. They also incorporated South African dance moves aswel as African clothing.

[@TheEugeneKyu]

they hit that gwara gwara!

[@tessa6356]

I thought the mv was full with korea culture, theres a video explaining the whole thing, you should check it out

[@nubiajohnson2533]

@@tessa6356 bighit confirmed the video is made with african and korean cultures/music/dance

[@deezy3336]

They represented Africa and Korean culture perfectly..from the African colored clothes to the dance(they did gwara gwara and shaku shaku). Am proud of them

[@sunshinebae8464]

I thought I was only one who noticed them doing the shaku shaku and gwara gwara! Broooo Jimin and Kooks fuckin' killed it for the gwara gwara!

[@deezy3336]

The chorus where they are under the yellow tent and the part where the shark is behind them

[@teezyt6879]

Sunshine bae girl right I was like “Chill kookie” my bias is Jimin😂😂😂😂🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️

[@MotoyoMartins]

Sandra Afia Owusu girl!! You mean our very own shaku shaku was featured, I didn’t see it!!! Now i have to start searching the video😩 Edit: i just saw it. It wasn’t really noticeable and wasn’t much of a shaku shaku but i still loveeeeeee it anyway

[@deezy3336]

They tried and thats what matters. To imitate African dance ain't easy

[@ashhadrien9097]

the video had captions and also it’s suppose to be mixed with both korean and african culture

[@dupenimashuns418]

Ashh Adrien African?

[@ashhadrien9097]

Grimm Jow “IDOL is a South African style dance track. Korean traditional beats are mixed with the African beats and supported by a trap groove with popular EDM source”

[@ameliebalzac1654]

Ashh Adrien is that official statement by bighit? I mean bighit tweeted but its in korean so...

[@wynacoco8034]

Well I mean they do gwara gwara and other typical African dances so I guess yeah, idk but I know the dances and they’re from Africa

[@LebiramZenitram94]

Amélie Balzac yeah, it's official! Their clothing and dancing are from South African culture. Of course the music which is also fused with Traditional Korean beats, Bang PD said a while ago that he's been studying South African music and now we know why! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@chrispark6783]

There’s a version with Nicki Minaj you should react to !!!!! . 😍😍😍😩

[@ellie_jeann]

Chris Park it’s audio/lyrical version only

[@chrispark6783]

Jean Blackthorn I know they listen to audios too lol

[@merssechaimaa8264]

yep

[@ellie_jeann]

@@chrispark6783 true, its good to metion its an audio version b/c allot of other who dont know will assume that shes in the MV which is not the case at all

[@chrispark6783]

Jean Blackthorn at least they’ll still stream it . 😭🙊

[@ArieeeNicole]

Did anyone else peep kookie twerking

[@xnayu6333]

Aryana Anderson YES

[@Vi_ori]

What time

[@redlady4]

Has! At first I thought it was Jhope. They were all ridiculous during that section of Jin's part.

[@MusicLoverChannel]

Yes lmao

[@btsa.r.m.y4628]

Aryana Anderson what time?

[@ailinhernandez5004]

BTS is just that group that u can count on. Just like they did airplane pt2 for their Latino fans, they gave something for our south African army's. ❤️ They also found a way to use south African influence with their Korean culture. It was just beautiful

[@IsaaGianni3]

Jimin, why are you so perfect?:3xd

[@seri3264]

HEYYO!! In this music video they went over the top with cgi and colours and everything because they were making fun of the fact that that's what people think they are like (people who don't listen to kpop) but they were also saying even if they were like that, they dont care what people think of them and bts doesn't chase the west, the west chases bts- also making the point they will remain korean and not westernise themselves. You should also listen to the whole album its so so good!!!

[@madit9921]

Bruh!!! There's so mucccch I wanna talk about but!! They got a remix with Nicki!!!! But its only available digitally not on the physical album itself and not only that they incorporated the African Dance "Gwara" as well infused Korean and African beats! Also some of the members suits had african prints on them I canntt this album

[@SubscribersWithNoVideos-yc2nh]

Jk rapping tho

[@sakurachan9088]

I screamed when I heard the beat and saw the opening moves. As an African ARMY, my heart is sooooo full

[@chelseaokereke8001]

@@sakurachan9088 same i was out of control

[@Bleubabby]

People don’t notice the ships on the table with them, with the globes it’s like how people are saying they’re pioneering in the industry, they’re also showing their respect from where they incorporate their music from, they’re big into hip hop which traditionally is African beats and so they’re wearing Ankara and they’re also doing gwara gwara, the background has a lion king looking background because and they also have korean nobility clothing with actions such as Jung kook doing the dry cough which was what nobility did to say signal they were resent and to stop talking about them behind their backs.... there’s a lot of great symbolism in this. They showed their roots, their appreciation and that they do this because they enjoy it

[@jessicahiggins2047]

Yessssss!!

[@Bleubabby]

Also they're in safari gear as though they're still exploring new things, they're doing everything everyone said they couldn't do and also they showed their personalities most importantly there is just so much magic happening in this mv 😭😭😭 so proud of our guys!

[@yoongituan]

surprised jasmine wasn’t with yall but yes the mv was supposed to represent and embody bts with all their craziness which is why so much is happening and it has subtle hints of things they go through as idols

[@cargo294]

JIMIN 🔥

[@emeraldsaila]

That beat you liked so much was inspired by South African music ^^

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

I don't listen to BTS all that often, but "Idol" hits super hard~

[@ClaudiaNkeji]

the music is mixed with *Korean and African* culture

[@missingdimple]

African culture? Its a continent

[@SallieAndrea]

South Africa not the whole of africa

[@user-cb7jw9fc2h]

Claudia West That's Awesome!

[@karlafm24]

Strawberry Vanilla Tae is one of my favorite looks. Adorable!

[@ravenarceneaux2283]

i just wanna say I'm so proud of jin he's coming thru these last two comebacks 😢

[@yoongistongue4163]

The whole video and their choreography is partly a sort of a mashup of their old MV's and choreographies and it's so well done you can't even tell in the beginning.

[@andreawilliams4744]

At the end when they sat on the chairs, they be like... "Okay, whatchu wanna say?". Like anyone can beat that. How are BTS themselves gonna beat that?

[@vancouver7776]

CRAZY ASIAN BTS, CHOREO, VISUAL AND DANCE OVER THE TOP, EVERYTHING OVER THE TOP. KUDO TO BTS

[@dandymoon8722]

love experiencing another comeback with you guys! this mv and album is INCREDIBLE

[@ashleyuwu.]

“ bts calling their title song IDOL and making the MV extremely weird and colorful on purpose because the #1 critique westerners have is “kpop videos are too weird and make no sense””

[@karabo2077]

it had more african influence than american influence x love the reaction

[@hophop9541]

aint a fan but the chorus with that dance gives me goosebumbs everytime lol

[@aimal.]

BTS ARE KINGS. 😭😍

[@bekahmarie6789]

You should listen to the album version with Nicki Minaj

[@justinasz3371]

Isn't this the album version though? Nicki Minaj version is digital exclusive i think.

[@bekahmarie6789]

Justinas Z no they’re both on album

[@justinasz3371]

But the Nicki version isnt on the tracklist though

[@bekahmarie6789]

Justinas Z it’s in the album tho on iTunes and Spotify

[@justinasz3371]

Yeah, but only digitally, not on the album itself physically.

[@documentarygirl8]

Most time I can't read Robs thoughts (his poker face is serious), but always has a smile when he watches BTS.

[@emmasummer24]

About the rabbit in the moon it's referring to something Taehyung said a while back: "I believe there are rabbits on the moon"

[@PinkBunby]

Flower Bangtan it's also Korean folklore that rabbits live in the moon 😊

[@emmasummer24]

Jenniffer Dossett yeah I saw a Korean youtuber saying so; there’s an old myth saying there are rabbits on the moon which is mostly why Tae said that; knowing how he believes in ghosts and these kind of stories XDD 🐯💜

[@yaoischolar6187]

i love the representation of korean and african music and dance incorporated into this MV,,,so dope

[@chelseyk8565]

Awww Patrick is such an Army. So cute!

[@alondraromo5675]

The fact that you guys can tell them apart unlike other reaction channels is so badass

[@drsunitaminz7501]

that's right. this vid is what bts really is like. This is not something that we want to see but what bts wants us to see, i.e, them in reality. They love themselves man and they got no regrets n time for haters. 💞

[@aurelialawrence1560]

Wow that's amazing Idol. Namjoon he's so cute 💜💜💜👍👍👍

[@foxefresh]

To me, this mv style reminded me of 80's Talking Heads or Peter Gabriel vids. I liked all the references to their past mv choreos and the wonderful blend of the Korean traditional sound and fashion with other world cultures. Truly international super stars :)

[@hobimonieforlife3204]

i like how you guys interpret their MVs now and it shows you guys pay attention too .. and yes, RM said it himself that the music is basically a festival or celebration with all ARMYs all over the world that's why it's soooooo colorful and festive 💜💜💜💜👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌👌✌✌✌

oh also please remember to turn on the cc whenever u watch bts mvs they always have english trans in the vid just turn on the cc! so u can enjoy the mv while understanding what they're saying :) nice reaction btw

[@yun9572]

말이 필요없습니다.. Just dope!!!!!🤣🤣🤣

[@multifandom_girl_army7580]

the idol MV is little DNA because of colorful color, Fake Love because of what was in the beginning and Not Today almost the end of the MV.

[@melg1978]

This is the rap line comeback and i love it

[@lycos888]

This song has a very strong message.. If I knew them earlier, I'd be doing what I wanted to do. Young armys are lucky..

Suga and jimin nailed it.. my lil meow get it.. i am so proud of all of them bangtañfighting💜💜💜

[@ourworldmylense]

The bunny in the moon is most likely a reference to when Taehyung said he believes there are rabbits on the moon! this whole mv is about loving and being yourself no matter what others think about you. People used to tease Taehyung for being different and "weird" and even "Childish" and I think this is just a fun little easter egg showing that he isn't afraid to be himself; wild and creative.

[@gabrielacordeiro836]

The cc's were on? This mv is just everything !!

The rabbit on the moon is Asian folklore - Moon Rabbit or also called Jade Rabbit. In the Korean folklore, they say that the rabbit is pounding rice in the mortar to make rice cakes. I heard about this when I went to Gyeongbok Palace during the Lunar New Year Festival a few years ago, when I was living in Seoul. This whole video is an interesting mix of their culture and other cultures. I've never seen a video like this before for sure.
