I really love your way of reacting to BTS. You really take your time to consume it properly. You don't just watch the MV and that's it. You also react to performances, related behind the scenes etc. I feel like your way reactions is really genuine. It's so clear that you really want to learn everything about them & for this you need time. Some other reactors post so many videos, but I often feel like they're rushed. I never have this feeling when I watch your videos. It's so nice to follow you on your BTS journey 💜

[@xiBlaaZeD]

Exactly what I want to said 😊thank you 💜

[@gretchend6823]

Perfectly said for me…💜 thank you for your reactions always!

[@gabbsireactions6513]

Thank you so much for this comment!💟

[@marinal.]

exactly!

[@icallyoumoonchild]

exactly!!! that's why i love her videos so much 😭💖

[@Lofiejm]

Jimin goes so damn hard in the live performance his jacket keeps coming off 😲😅 also i couldnt stop staring at him in the dance practice either. Like not being biased but he just carries it along with hobi Holy shit. His body lines are insane

[@JKlovelyyy]

Take a moment to appreciate and thank Gabbsi 💜💜 she really take the time to film a long reaction videos for us and her commentaries are so on point and relatable love her personality too! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@naylqistafhqstina4527]

i know rightttt she is so wholesome to watchh

[@gabbsireactions6513]

Aw thank youu💜

[@marinal.]

agree

[@elianamariano308]

I having being watching to all her reactions. She is Great.

[@elianamariano308]

I totally agree.

[@robertthomas2312]

I always enjoy your reactions, but this one was special. Your insight and awareness where especially fine tuned for IDOL. This is one of my all time favorite reactions. You didn't over think it, you didn't stop after every lyric and try to analyze it. Your comments were brief, but yet cogent. Spots you picked to highlight were of lyrical importance or for artistic reasons and added value to the performance. And your honest expressions of amazement to the music, lyrics, meanings, and overall performance were what makes me love this reaction. You are the Valedictorian of all IDOL reactions. 👏 BTW, if you don't mind me asking, where is your home country? When you compared the Korean Bukcheong Lion Dance to something similar in your country it just stoked my curiosity. Thank you for such an enjoyable reaction. Borahae 💜

[@gabbsireactions6513]

Wow thank you so much!! Comments like this really give me motivation. Of course, I’m from Slovenia (Central Europe)😊 Borahae💜

[@KathyHussey063]

@@gabbsireactions6513 Your English is AMAZING !! I'm so impressed by people from other countries who can speak English and especially those who speak it so well, because I can only speak English and not even that all that well, lol. I've been trying to learn just some words in Korean and it is SOOO HARD to remember anything, so I am confounded by the people who can do this. It is quite a feat to accomplish when someone can speak more than one language, I think. By the way, I love your reactions, I had the same kind of reaction to every song......like "Where were they hiding this AMAZING song ??!!" I keot thinking and saying out loud, after each time I first listened to each song & for over a year that kept happening !!.Their catalogue of music is truly epic, as far as quality AND quantity too.

[@MariaChavez-ey5sr]

This can be do overwhelming but all the subtle hints about things they’ve been mocked for that they are owning and proud of are do fun to find. I love Sugas Snow White shirt (being called a girl and show white because of his flawless white skin), Tae and his skin of man outfits (he dies love to dress in suits and ties but almost old fashioned), Jhope in his bugs bunny shirt (being called too lanky and looking like bugs). They said BTS is too western after winning awards in the west so this song is a blend of African and Korean beats, dance moves, and clothes. It’s seriously brilliant and a level of trolling everyone that is also self affirmation. Genius hype. Perfect chaos. 😂💜💜💜🤣

[@riteshsenpai6572]

There's something about Jimin's dance. ✨

[@jb-je9lk]

Thanks for your reaction! When you noticed the gwara gwara dance I smiled! Not many reactors and/or articles I could find about Idol picked up on or mentioned the African influences - the dance, music, suits. On Wikipedia it indicates that BigHit said IDOL was inspired by gqom, a style of house music that originated in Durban, South Africa.” I appreciate your ability to recognize those parts. Again, thank you! 💜

[@shinigamilight786]

I was just binge watching your previous BTS reactions when you dropped this!!!!!! You go girl!!!! Take care of yourself and Borahae💜💜💜💜💜

[@annakimpark3822]

My favorite part is ( Runnin,man vrrrrrrrang by V

[@TheEloot]

It took me a couple of days to binge watch all of your BTS reactions on youtube. You are so good at analyzing the lyrics and catching all the little things in the video that other reactors don't notice. Plus, I like your personality in your appreciation of the boys. Looking forward to your next BTS reaction. .

[@michelleh.5090]

You nailed it! This is an ARMY anthem! The walls and floors shake with the 70,000 ARMY screaming at the top of our lungs, “YOU CAN’T STOP ME LOVING MYSELF!!!” I get chills to this day remembering and reliving the experience. 💜

[@Funtan_Sonyeondan]

5:00 that's the reason for the autotune 😂 it's because ppl keep saying they use too much autotune. so yeah, they put the autotune on JK to troll 😂 ahhh, I love IDOL MV and everything in it

[@gabbsireactions6513]

Oh my god they really think everything through

[@marinal.]

yep =0p

[@marinal.]

@@gabbsireactions6513 oh yeah always

[@lovelyy6491]

watching this performance again made me realize for the 577th time just how no other group be doing what they do. loved your reaction 💖

[@WeatheredGirlscout]

The vibrancy & depth of IDOL Is always satisfying I also always appreciate your passion & intuitiveness as a reactor- thank you for giving it enough time & multiple angles of each song 💜

[@loredell]

8:40 T_T you unlocked a new level. Yes, Yoongi and JK resemble one another in several videos/photos. They themselves even commented that once in a Bangtan Bomb lol

[@gabbsireactions6513]

Hahah I like the ‘unlocked a new level’, it’s a very cool way to describe it. Ohh really? That’s so interesting! Thanks for commenting😊

[@lovelyy6491]

watching this live, in person, at their concert was probably my favorite part of that whole experience. everyone was having so much fun and i'm from Brasil, like... we KNOW how to have fun, that was a good ass time

[@JustMe-cj4sn]

It's amazing to me how much effort, work and thoughts BTS are put into their lyrics. Everything is so perfect, they don't compromise about anything! The MV quality, the visuals, the dancing and the lyrics. They are so special, I love them so much 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@kerryleecooper8184]

BTS is the freaking BEST...not only do they sing wile dancing with stable vocals, they dance in sync but individually if that makes sense, they not only hav to memorise the moves but their positions in whichever dance they perform AND they make it look so natural, it's like u don't even notice...they r the "BEST OF THE BEST"🫰🫰💜💜

[@LS13.]

The dance intro of Jimin Hobi and Jungkook in the mma 2018 performance 🎭 for idol was amazing

[@tainaracoelho9200]

I love how you knew it was Guara Guara!!!! My african self is very happy rn😂😂💜💜💜

[@olimakiella]

Do you think Jimin kicked someone once with that kick? He keeps looking over his shoulder just before he does it. It’s adorable. Such a caring human.

[@graceruthjm]

He is 😚

[@purpleheart2267]

You should watch their Idol live performance in MMA 2018..it’s amazing! As well as how they perform this on their concerts. Thanks!

Jungkook always gets my attention ❤️‍🔥😵‍💫I love him 👑

Jungkook and Taehyung so adorable 💜💚🔥🔥🔥

[@betsk2820]

their harmonizing is always so new

[@betsk2820]

so beautiful *

[@user-og7qr6gz3n]

Once again....your feelings,insights and general analyses during your reaction to anything our boys have done are impressive! I really appreciate your stance and persanality. We share a great common love. BTS. I'm happy! Be safe and well.

[@eileencritchley4630]

The whale might also refer to ARMY. ARMY are seen to ride on the back of purple coloured whale so I wonder if Jin was also thinking about that when he draw the Whale. This live performance is really great however there's an extended one which they did for another award show which is even better with more Korean references. It's has a much longer introduction. That includes J-Hope dancing in Korean entire, to Jimin doing a traditional Korean Fan Dance for which he won an award to Jungkook doing the traditional long white sleeve/glove dance than to traditional drums and the Lion.

[@Potterfriendz]

I wanted to say I’ve been binge watching your reaction videos and really enjoy them 💜 Whenever you watch Idol, when Jimin does the kick, you can watch he will look to his right (our left) before he does that so he doesn’t take out Tae. He has a lot of power and martial arts training, soooo he could end up really taking someone out 😳

[@minitwink16]

Someone did a compilation about Jimin kicks and how he always does a quick look to see his members are not in his zone before doing his 360 kick.

[@yashitiwari1297]

I really appreciate your efforts. It looks like now in some time you will be our trusted part of our fandom BTS and army forever

[@loredell]

8:25 there is a compilation of Jimin looking to his right (Tae) before throwing the high kick. The moment this came out I was a goner. It is too much (not the MV, which puzzles a lot of people, so I'm glad you were indeed looking at them and the lyrics!). Also I'm a sucker for choreos with a lot of people :_)

[@lovelyy6491]

imagine how flabbergasted i was when this came out, completely different song and music video from anything they had done, it came after Fake Love comeback and the teaser song for the new album was Jin's Epiphany !!! like??? just such a crazy comeback, so unexpected, so much information to gather lol

[@raquellt_]

omg i'm loving this bts era

[@avnikanodia7717]

you should check out bts at mma 2019!!

[@emy_tannies]

Omg you need to react to more explanation of the songs by a korean lithe him they have so much meaning seriously🇧🇷💜love from brazil

[@yellowishyoutubechannel3900]

This song is so entertaining ❤❤🤩🤩

[@yara-xu9jb]

the mv was literally bts taking what the haters said about them and using it in a mocking way main thing you'd notice is the tons of cgi in the mv and basically saying "yeah we barely used it before when you accused us of it but we can and will do whatever we want" another thing in the song itself that you pointed out was the autotune on jungkook's voice in the same regards with the cgi and i think it's really interesting how they emphasized it on jungkook specifically since he's the "main vocalist" and you can take that for many other smaller references they had in the song/mv it's really mindblowing and chaotic in the best way

[@kimleeclau7529]

thank you for this very deep profesional and overall complete reaction, know the song. I cant ask for anything else, you are amazing, and I would like to find more vid like this, cause it was so educational, and emotive too, cause years after this song was released, and now we cant have them together, we miss them so badly and waiting for them to comeback... thanks a lot for bringing back the escence of BTS. BTW... Taehyung BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAA iconic, absolutely... to me the best part of the song the whole growling and BRAAAAAAAA 😍🤩🤩

[@katherineann8463]

By the end, you were in such a daze! "I think I showed my excitement, right?" Yes, you conveyed lots of excitement and many other expressions! I loved the AGHHHHHHHHH that you trailed across the screen. I'm impressed you picked up on RM rhyming "idol" and "I don't". And you knew about the gwara gwara dance. The big animals at the end are a fusion of the traditional Korean dancing lions (as DKDKTV said) and the Zangbeto, haystack guardians of the night in Benin, Togo and Nigeria. The wiki said Zangbeto festivals include colorful displays and electrifying performances. Sounds like BTS to me! Other African components: police whistles, suits of Ankara cloth, khaki clothes, Morrocan arches, girraffes. I think they made the CGI backgrounds especially garish and artificial looking to flaunt the fact they were using them. In the "making-of" video it's interesting to see what parts were CGI and what was the actual set. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnLHp6JmoLStbqM Another great explanation video is from Rosan on channel xCeleste kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYjQXoCYnt9qfMk Thanks for a great reaction video! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

wow! thank you for bringing in the expert to make us understand the symobolosms in the mv. not only are bts masters at their pen game but masters at creative visuals . i'm so thrilled to have found your channel ❤

[@emma-xo1wh]

A few things; Firstly, I have binge watched all your BTS videos in the last few weeks, they're great. I love your open mindedness and you come across as a very honest and open person. I don't know if this is accurate, but I feel like you are quite realistic and cynical in general, but in the same way I am (just a generally sceptical view of people's intentions, people in power, the way the world is!) My opinions on each thing have pretty much lined up with everything you've said, down to lyrical analysis, appreciation of music types, showmanship, outfits, everything. Only our biases are different haha. Secondly, I would love to know more about you as I am quite in awe of the way you speak these languages and I don't know if you were brought up with English, but you're pronunciation and the width of your vocabulary is astounding for a non-native speaker. Do you study/work with languages? And lastly, I am a metal/rock/punk/rap fan mostly. I am open to all music and like stuff from every genre but I only discovered BTS about six months ago after hearing about them for years and not bothering to listen as I thought they'd be just another boy band. I have picked up on you saying you like similar music so I was wondering how you discovered BTS? I heard Agust D, then learnt he was a member of 'that k pop' band and was shocked. I will happily admit that I was too judgemental, thinking I knew what k pop was and that they weren't anything special. I have Bipolar and several other mental health issues, as well as life long physical health problems (not looking for sympathy, I have accepted and embraced these as part of who I am), and I have been going through a difficult period for about 18 months now, but since discovering BTS I can honestly say my life is better. I wake up each day with a tiny bit of happiness just knowing they exist and I have so much more to discover about them. Anyway, thank you for your videos. They have also helped with my mental health, you are wonderful and I appreciate you 😊💜 I had to edit this as I got carried away and I've drank a bottle of rum 😂 the whole reason I thought to comment (I don't usually but have thought about it for a while) was your 'WTF is going on!? Then 'HOLY S**T, HOLY S**T and prolonged 'aghhhhh' and general mind blowing, what the hell is happening vibe, as it was my exact reaction upon seeing this! I still can't focus when watching it, it's so damn hectic! Also JK in his legendary Vlive talked about how proud he is of being South Korean (it was sparked by how good their takeaway is 😂 I feel that, but I loved it because I didn't know how they felt about their country) .I'm sorry this is so long.

[@Itboyforlife95]

Love your reactions 💗.

[@btsmissmaplesmith648]

Loved it when I first saw it! All the chaos means so much! You are doing great!

[@67bimbi]

Do you know that when they were performing Idol on MAMA, the stage was almost collapsing under their dance and the staff had to go under it to hold up??? For sure you can find the video!😲😲😲

[@snagglejag1977]

Gabbsi, you are easily one of my favorite reactors. You bring your brain to the table but you don't forget to bring your heart, too. One thing that I don't think anybody else has mentioned (at least I didn't see it in the comments): BTS usually uses real sets, real fire and such, but people accuse them of using greenscreen. It's not a big accusation, but it's been repeated enough to be annoying. So in the video, they're saying, "You want greenscreen? Here's your greenscreen!" Since you like hype songs, you might want to have a look at "So What?"

[@mdzwonkowska]

I always enjoy your reactions, but this one was special. Thx 🥰

[@micaelagarrido7561]

I love youu LOL this is legit the first video and song that got me hooked on BTS, I have listened to DNA and Blood sweat and tears I think and didn't love them, but when I saw this I was like Who are they and How? I love that we have different journeys but you always like the same things I like in BTS's songs

Koreans say that there is a rabbit in the moon. I think it’s a fertility symbol. The auto tune on Jungkook was deliberate because their haters say they use auto tune so this is Jungkook with auto tune and that’s not what we hear in their other songs so it’s obvious they don’t use it.
