Hobi’s Dior fit is ICONIC and Jin dyed his purple hair himself !

[@deliaconny]

Jinhit Ent, of course 🙌

[@imajinallthepurple]

- Fun fact: When Suga drops the mic live it's an extra fake mic and Jin taps his mic for the sound. 🤭 - This is from the famously fandom-nicknamed "Dior performance". Their outfits were specially created for each of them for this tour by one of Dior's youngest, hippest designers, Kim Jones who really likes them. - I can't wait for you to dive further into the rap line... Mic Drop is sort of the 5th Cypher which is why they say "the last farewell". They were just done with addressing the haters. 😏😎 - The Dior Performance of Outro: Tear is a rap line must. The song is from when they thought about disbanding and their emotions really show. 💔

[@AndrewBergSax]

Yes!! I want to get into more rap line stuff soon!

[@ginawinters221]

(hollers in Tear supremacy)

[@d.k.hapsari6030]

They used extra mic to avoid the noise in their ears since the mic is connected with their in ear mic and to avoid damage in Suga's mic. But, this the first time i know that Jin taps the mic for the sound... i learned to new trivia today. Thx.

[@imajinallthepurple]

@@d.k.hapsari6030 He actually takes on quite a few practical responsibilities on stage. This is the "mic drop" btw: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJWrgZeNmqx9i6s

[@LanaLiliyMoon]

@@d.k.hapsari6030 Yeah I recently learned that too cause there was an ARMY compilation on twitter. I honestly thought the mic dropping made that sound😅😂

[@forg_tful.]

the reason you think this is so different from what you've heard is because we have always recommended you vocal heavy or like, rnb, jazz songs that we thought you would enjoy more. bts are actually a very hip hop based group, their earlier music especially is much heavier on the rap side but they have always kept that spirit, even up until this day in certain songs... you just haven't dug into them yet. and the rapline are absolute geniuses with those tracks when it comes to lyricism and flow.

[@AndrewBergSax]

Yes, I can't wait to get into their earlier music!

[@cayothega1454]

@@AndrewBergSax About the rap line : You should then listen to their Cypher series (1, 2, 3 and 4) which also are, like Mic Drop, answers to haters ; the last one (Pt4) was released in 2016 : the Rap line is awesome ! And you should try also their song Daeng, an unofficial song by RM, Suga and J-Hope. Enjoy 😉

[@forg_tful.]

@@cayothega1454 they also have more underrated songs that should be listened to like ugh, we on, hip hop lover etc.

[@hania.j7483]

Originally Mic Drop is part of their Love Yourself:her album, is does sound different and there is not as much english in the lyrics. Anyway, cannot wait for You guys to react to their older music from 2013/14, it's an amazing fusion between hip hop and rnb and much more. I absolutly adore your reactions, much love!

[@AndrewBergSax]

Yes!! I plan on doing some songs off of their first album in the next few weeks or so!

[@hania.j7483]

@@AndrewBergSax Oh, that's great! Can't wait!

[@tatiana7225]

@@AndrewBergSax I would recommend “Tomorrow” which is one of their earlier singles, written and produced mainly by Suga, performed by all 7. Deep lyrics, great choreo, and sick beat! Not from their first album, it’s from their 2nd EP Skool Luv Affair, still within the first year of their career. It was also in the top 5 of a “fan favourite songs” poll a year or two ago.

[@anneeh1591]

The thing that surprised me the most since I started watching BTS Concerts was J Hope's stage presence. They are all amazing but Hobi on stage is something special. Happy birthday HOBI. 💜

[@dkinla3408]

P.S. BTS was originally a Hip hop centric group. Even JK was rapping on a couple songs. But they are always trying new styls of music & looks. SUGA said recently that some of their coming music will be going back to their Hip Hop roots. I'm excited!! I really want to watch you check out "Ugh" & "Ddaeng" WITH the explination videos, YOU HAVE TO WATCH THE EXPLINATION VIDEOS. Your minds will be blown about the wordplay. Double & triple entendres. Crossing languages. And their Cyphers 1-4 are a MUST. My favorites are #2 & #4 PLEASE do reaction videos to those!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@joke2421]

"Oooh that was good" "...I'm a poet" i swear you two crack me up 😅

[@therainadmirer]

Ddaeng, Ugh, Outro:Tear are must. Also their Cypher series 1-4 are amazing. The rapline aren't just put there by company to rap. But they rap because they really can rap 😁. Do I make sense ?

[@FarhanaK]

Honestly Mic Drop is such a statement. Bear in mind this came out in 2017 when BTS were still facing a lot of heat in Korea and hate. It wasn't until 2018 that they hit the superstar status which made it a bit harder to snub BTS. But 2017 was still alot of hate so this was a beautiful song for us and them. Very therepeutic and its still a bop! I loved both of your reactions to this masterpiece!! Caitlin picking up on the class references and your accent analysis was amazing! CFA

[@AndrewBergSax]

Thank you so much!! 😀

[@Alexeya13]

OMG! This is such a throwback for me. 'Mic Drop' was the first mv/song I ever saw of BTS and I was hooked from the starts. That was almost 2 years ago. I didn't know anything about them and could not tell apart. I'm horrible with faces so it took me a long time. I love them & love seeing other fall in love with them too. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 It's so great to be re-watching it you. Did you know this song was inspired by Barack Obama?

[@AndrewBergSax]

I just heard that in another comment, and that's is so iconic and awesome 😀

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JHOPE!!!!!! Letting you know that that Jhope outfit with the dior is ICONIC!! Mic drop has 3 dance breaks and I wish they would’ve performed it at the ptd concert when I was there (I went day 1 and 4). But hopefully let’s pray about the concert in Seoul coming up Mic drop and idol are songs that don’t seem like a song to the haters but actually are 😭

[@AndrewBergSax]

Yes! Although Mic Drop is pretty aggressive, it makes sense that it's against their haters 😂

[@LeeDee5]

Perfect reaction for Hobi day because the outfit Hobi was wearing in that live is iconic! You just google "Dior Hoseok" and yeah...

[@AndrewBergSax]

That's right, it is Hobi day!! I always get confused by the time difference so I wasn't sure if it was yesterday or today

[@ForgetfulDreams6]

fun fact. theres a compilation out there of Jin producing the sound of the mic drop for Yoongi. He would switch out mics so he's not dropping his actual good mic, i assume. I also assume it would be turned off. Possibly a turned on mic wouldn't create the sound they wanted reliably? Im not sure. So Jin will watch for him dropping the mic and will bop his own mic to make the sound :)

[@deliaconny]

yup, i think one of the dancers brings him the prop mic. Regularly dropping one of their real custom made mics would not be ideal 😬

Honestly it’s the tiny body rolls for me. Please do this reaction with your wife. I can hear the squeals from here. There is also dream on, based on their song 00:00 o clock. They released it at a specific time so that when you see the clock in the video turn 00:00 it turned midnight on your clock. They are…. Spectacular.

[@caycecarson]

Mic Drop wasn't the first BTS mv I ever saw (it was Dope and I had it on my playlist for a YEAR until I actually became a fan literally WHAT was I doing), but when I saw it I was so blown away and in love it made me want to look into them. Shout out to Thanksgiving of 2017, the weekend when BTS broke down my front door and made me fall in love with them lol

[@enicole1203]

👁👄👁 Mic Drop BTS are my favorite iteration. The style, the swag, the fits, the demeanor... whole package 10/10 would fangirl again.

[@panicatthebts7434]

OH after your reaction to this song I can't wait to your reaction to Outro: Tear. It's a rapline song but all the rappers are amazing in it and JHope has similar aggressive vocals as in this song. Caitlin will also really appreciate the metaphors and beauty of the lyrics!

[@forg_tful.]

for context, that "if you're jealous, file a lawsuit" lyric is kinda based on real life because bts had to go to court over some plagiarism accusations in their earlier days... people in the industry/agencies were THAT scared of them... and i'm not saying that was their intention with the lyric, just that it matches reality :)

[@AndrewBergSax]

That does match really well! I didn't get all of that during the reaction, but makes a lot of sense considering the Hardships video from last week

[@AngelaSealana]

Yes but also the fact that Yoongi is saying "SUE IT" is hilarious because for years fans would yell during fansign events: "MIN YOONGI I'M GOING TO SUE YOU [for being handsome, etc.]"

[@kitty5936]

My absolute favorite live performance of this song is from the 2017 MAMAs. They did Cypher 4 and Mic Drop back to back, and it was amazing watching them do diss tracks in front of the rest of the industry at an award show

[@Dh-uj8pr]

Yesss that's my fav too! They performed it with so much energy and passion that I was so surprised to know that they even performed 3 songs before Mc drop 🥺

[@Skyblue-qi3oo]

Omg my all time favorite too. So much swag and energy! They did it like it was their last day

[@anu5880]

Ooh they were so sweaty by the end😅😅

[@originalname530]

fun fact about BTS’ “diss tracks”: they actually never name anyone! it’s always more of a “if the shoe fits…” kind of vibe and it’s always very entertaining watching BTS-antis go absolutely mad on twitter because they think BTS are attacking their faves when they aren’t mentioned at all lol also if you would like another “diss track” that is only by the rapline member, i would really recommend “ddaeng” and the explanation video by dkdktv! the song is free on Soundcloud and BTS released it in 2018 during their Festa (kind of a 2-week celebration before their group anniversary on june 13). The performance is amazing and the wordplays are genius. thanks for the reaction 💜

[@AngelaSealana]

Andrew & Caitlin, I won't forget this reaction. My therapy session started exactly when your video dropped, so I was all red-eyed and Kleenex'd up when I pressed play. Watching you discover Mic Drop was just the fun I needed. THANK YOU for brightening my day, as always, both of you!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 And seriously, I eat up every music lesson you give on these reactions... I feel so ignorant about rhythm now that you've opened my eyes to so many ways BTS has used it, and there are so many more songs! Woohoo! Glad you're able to join in now when ARMY jams out to Mic Drop. P.S. Possibly the most natural / impressive Skillshare plug ever? P.P.S. HOW COULD I NOT acknowledge the School of Rock reference?? Literally one of my favorite movies. 🤣🤪 CFA

Mic Drop was the first BTS song I heard and it’s still one of my favourites 💕

[@AndrewBergSax]

[@velwhite3371]

Mic Drop was a nice nod back to their 2013-2014 discography that was hard-hitting, hiphop based that was mostly rapline-led. Speaking of clapback songs, it would be amazing if you could one day go through the rapline cyphers. There are 4 of them from O!RUL8,2?, Skool Luv Affair, Dark & Wild, and Wings; and the worldplay and flow is just out of this world.

[@krsarmy15]

I love how Suga rides soooo far back on the beat in his part. It leaves me breathless every time I hear this performance. Like, "Oh no, what if he never catches up this time?!" 😆 But of course he does it perfectly, because he's the king, he's the boss, he's Min-freakin'-Yoongi! 💜💜💜

[@camilathee]

this reaction is another precious one. caitlin made me feel like it was my first time watching it again. and yeah, as nice other armys pointed out in the comments: mic drop is a bop, and hobi (our february 18th birthday boy) performing it is something else.

[@MariaChavez-ey5sr]

Love seeing you both together. The song being inspired by Obama’s famous mic drop always makes me giggle because yes this is very much the haters can be mad we are just going to collect trophies and keep winning no time to even notice the haters. I love their subtle digs like Ratatouille they don’t need to be vulgar yo insult you. Full swag but not overly negative. Their foundation is rap and hip hop so the top songs and vocal songs don’t highlight this but yes lots of their catalog especially older songs are high energy hip hop. Of course live is another level. All of them in the custom Dior is a lot for me visually, big yes for JHope in particular. FYI Steve Aoki wrote a vocal ballad for BTS, one of the best vocal line unit songs as good or better than House of Cards, The Truth Untold. Caitlin might really appreciate the mythology they built in the story telling with the lyrics. Yay fan art of the week. Have a great week both of you!

[@cyann410]

On your own time, you should check out the special video Steve Aioki created to celebrate Mic Drop’s 1 billion views. He did such a nice thank you video, with all the songs he worked on with BTS. He really likes the guys. Omg, that fan art is fantastic !

[@sandy503gang]

It's so refreshing to see u enjoy a hip hop song. This was an iconic song. Everyone was hating on them for getting nominated for billboard social artist and then winning the award. This was a perfect reply to the haters. They performed this in a Korean music award show right after they came back from US after winning billboard award. Can't wait to see which song u select next. Maybe something from their older album.

[@cathygill764]

When I found this song, I thought that it was time for Bad A$$. With all the darkness throuw at them it wa like enough is enough now it's our turn. Spit fire confidence. proving they won the game. It didn't matter about their enemies, anymore. The members, together, strong as a unit. Enough said. MIC DROP.

[@edwinatakasaki2258]

As with BTS, there are so many versions of 'Mic Drop' - the original, the Steve Aoki Remix, the performance versions (Korean, Japanese, Steve Aoki Remix), end-of-year stage and concert versions with the dance break and an inadvertent performance that should have had the dance break but for some reason the music didn't include that part (oops). When BTS were invited to perform on Saturday Night Live in April 2019, they debuted 'Boy With Luv' from Map of the Soul: Persona; their second song was 'Mic Drop', which is from an earlier release, Love Yourself: Her (2017). BTS blew up on social media in the U.S. after that and they really took off in the states. [Caveat: They were already popular with 'DNA' and 'Fake Love' but that SNL performance was crazy.]

[@jawatisdi3125]

BTS started out as a hiphop group. Maybe you can check out their early stuff! F.i. their first show case, with No More Dream!

[@angelmaygonzaga7879]

I love this song ! It was really playful and fun.. the rappers have the CYPHERS 1,2,3 and DDAENG as clapback to haters also and that was more heavy and suga had AGUST D and JOKE from RM. . They have song titled SILVER SPOON or BAEPSAE too ..about how they were this crowtits/underdogs who try to catch up with the storks..It was very artistically written with a lot of metaphors which was explained by a korean in DKDKTV 😊💜 I love watching your reactions to this esp since you watched the bts hardships before..

The Mic Drop MV is one of my absolute favorites, and their live performances with the body rolling dance break are just killer.💜

[@tragedyjoan]

im not sure 100% about this but from what i understand, Mic drop has a korean version? then they collab with Aoki but because that version takes Jhope and Suga part because somebody was rapping instead of them in the beginning, they chose this version without the other rapper to make an official video for mic drop. also, this maybe the first ever mostly english song by BTS. i remember RM saying they arent ready to make a full english song yet but then again dynamite happened. :)

[@marinal.]

Mic Drop had an original version yep. This is the remix.

[@JLisme]

Watching you guys enjoy the Steve Aoki Mic Drop Remix was delightful. I'm glad you found things to like about it even though it's not your preferred music genre! It's the 3rd BTS mv that I'd watched and the one that made me go "Ok! I'm in!" 😁 I'd be interested in your comparison of it to the original. Andrew: Everytime you do that two handed snapping thing to illustrate a point, it's very clear and so satisfying-sounding... and I get so jealous because I can only get a good snap with my left hand. 😆 Caitlin: School of Rock!! Yesss! 😄

[@AndrewBergSax]

Hahaha I have had a lot of practice snapping while teaching. When I don't have a metronome present (or don't want to use one for one reason or another) snapping is really helpful. Also it's a less annoying than clapping and you can usually hear it really clearly because it cuts through the sound... anyway it's fun 🤩

[@marinal.]

Hi, I am back. Good reaction. ty. Mic Drop: It's a slap in the face for their haters by saying they're at a point where it doesn't matter what you say because your words don't matter anymore. It's also a flex song by pointing out how many trophies they have because at this point they'd need a U-Haul to get them all. Just for an example, in Korea there are weekly music shows by various stations and the winner gets a trophy. Dynamite has 36 (I think) award show wins and that's without any promotion on their end. Fun fact: Mic Drop was inspired by President Obama's mic drop when he left office. =0] Never saw that live very cool. But I know about the dance break they added. There is a practice video for that. And they have performed this song with the new choreo for a while now. I saw another live with it. It is a perfect addition to the original choreo though they just made it harder as usual. =0p So glad u loved this song like I do. Hugs. Stay safe. Love u both! -NY USA Army💟

[@Grrness]

As you were on doolset looking at lyrics I'm sure you already know there was an original mic drop prior to the collaboration with Aoki, you might enjoy checking out the differences! :) And since you enjoyed them clapping back I'm sure you guys (especially Caitlin) will enjoy the rap-lines Cyphers 1-4 and what we (ARMY) tend to refer to as the unofficial cypher 5 UGH! x')

[@woongrawrs6825]

really cool reaction! i noticed that you said this is more different than other songs you have listened to, and i can agree and i think i know why, since your style is more of a jazz and musical kind of vibe, the recommendations you've been getting from your comments and videos are songs that are more musically and vocally driven! i notice that in other reaction channels for example, if their vibe is more on rap, rap driven or hip hop songs are usually recommended to them first! but nonetheless, its really fun seeing people react to the different and beautiful sides of BTS!

The video is so good! Look at it again& see Jimin & Jungkook fly away from Suga. When he is singing about Ratatouille. They are on harnesses! Its not CGI I love the Transition from J-hope & Sugas rap when they are back to back. So cool! RM's line "Baby watch your mouth, it comes back around!" That was so spot on. Btw, he initally got stuck in the ambulance that he burst out of on that part in the MV. "God of distruction " in effect. Theres footage of it. The other guys are cracking up! Lol The part about, no need to say anything more, don't apologize is toward "B-Free" the A Hole who called them girls & sellouts, apologized 6 years later (riiiight berfore "Mic Drop" came out in fact) because his "career" was ruined becaise of his disrespecting of BTS. WAY too late. And finally, that ending dancebreak during their live performances are just 😘👌 MIC DROP is DEFINITELY in my Top 10 BTS songs. Which is actually harder to make than people might think. Sorry I'm so long winded. I'm Irish.😉 So great to see the both of you together. I love your chemistry! You are both charming. I love watching you discovering BTS & becoming more & more ARMY! BORAHAE!💜💜

[@MarilynPF]

I’m sure you know that this song was inspired by President Obama dropping his mic at the end of one of the WH Correspondents Dinners. I think RM liked the idea for a song once there’s nothing more to say. You should watch the making of the MV for yourselves. The production crew planned the explosion behind the guys but they had to do one the day before so BTS would know what to expect and not get startled when they were dancing.

Are you planning to watch their solo performances too ? Rm - persona Suga - daechwita or shadow Jhope - ego or chicken noodle soup Jin- epiphany or awake V - singularity or stigma Jk - euphoria or my time Jimin - serendipity, lie or filter Then maybe cap it off with their mma 2019 awards performance which was epic !!!

[@AndrewBergSax]

Yes, I've actually seen a lot of these! I've seen just the Music/Lyric videos for Persona, Shadow, Ego, Singularity, and Still With You. And I've seen the Lyric/Music videos and a live performance of Epiphany, First Love, Trivia Love, MAMA, Stigma, and Lie! So I'm slowly working through them all! And MMA and MAMA videos are on my list, once I've heard all the songs in them! 😀

[@rbsmmm]

@@AndrewBergSax great don’t miss serendipity live ! I think it was the Seoul concert

[@nacmegfeegle2310]

I can hardly believe that you have not done this one before! Mic Drop is the gateway BTS entry for a LOT of ARMY. I could watch it a thousand times. It has all my favorite BTS elements; lyrics, choreo, swag, and now you help me appreciate the musical interesting bits. It's amazing how you catch those things on the first listen! Aand, Kailin I bet you would love the dance practice for this, it really shows that hot dance break. Thanks to you both!

[@hiegiegabat7720]

☺️ your wife is a mood,she is so cool i thought shes too serious and professionally reactor when i see that shes a writer but she is also cool..you two are a vibe ❤️ always looking forward for your uploads...new subs here from Philippines 🙋 Godbless

[@armyonpluto]

What amazes me most about the rapline is how well they can fit rap into songs you wouldn't think would have rap in it at all, I'd love to see other rappers try to make rap verses for some of the non hip hoppy songs rapline are in because it wouldn't be easy

[@mokshita5475]

Their stage presence is on another level 💜💜

[@just_lil_g]

love love love when you break down the musicality of a song! Hi Caitlin! 💜

[@muddybudgie]

Pleeeeeeeeease do Outro:Tear next. Preferably the live version from Wembley (same Dior outfits you just saw). You have to and Caitlin must watch too. This song has some of the most heart wrenching lyrics in the whole of BTS’s catalogue.

[@jkeylovee]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOBI 💛💚💙💜❤️🧡🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊

[@alad836]

I have always enjoyed your videos and that you share your knowledge regarding your musical background, but I have to admit that your wife Caitlin (sp?) is always such a joy to see. She seems absolutely amazing..more happy than I’ve ever been in my life, gives great input and has wonderful reactions.

[@sumonuwamecange476]

Old bts songs are agreesive like danger,bullet proof ,and boy in luv

[@Just_AMultistan]

what's so cool about this song is that it was released the day after my birthday!

[@marigam]

You guys had the perfect energy for Mic Drop! I love how much she liked the sassy ness of Mic Drop and how you both looked deeper into the lyrics! You guys rock! 💜💜

[@ara6789]

That’s such an interesting point you make about them ending the song on the bridge! I never thought about it like that. Clever! All of the members of BTS are so kind and they’re such good people, so I think some people get surprised (?) seeing this side of them, but I love seeing them clap back the way they do. They are clever, skillful, strong, and fair (IMO) in their responses to haters. I’m so so curious to see your reaction to their Cyphers (especially Pt. 2: Triptych), Baepsae, UGH!, and some of the rap line’s solo work and associated explain videos!

[@OrualMuse]

Oohh..is true! I saw Jin hitting his mic to make the sound of mic drop, at the end.

[@ivetapetrusheva2418]

Caitlin: "I''m a poet". - yes, you are!❤ You guys are seriously just feeding my soul. What you're doing is super cool, I love it and to whoever drew that masterpiece at the end - you are so, so, so talented, thank you for sharing (Discord and I are still in the warming up phase of our relationship but I can't wait to see more) ! If it's not too early for you, Happy Hope Day, everyone!🥳

[@AndrewBergSax]

You should join the Discord!! It's really fun and just a bunch of people sharing memes and emojis and talking about BTS 😂 Also we have custon emojis which are awesome 🤩

[@indieprincess8348]

Mic Drop!! Honestly its a religious experience to listen to Mic Drop as a baby Army 😆 its so good

[@andreaebeling6320]

This song is awesome.They are really ripping on the haters ! Like you guy’s can hate us but we are here winning all these trophies so who are the winners now!?! So who cares what you say we are going to continue doing what we do best.

[@katharinafk]

Yayyy I'm so happy to see you really witness BTS' different side for the first time! I love their more savage/rap-heavy stuff, and I think you will too, judging by this reaction 😁 also, I can't get over how cute you guys are. I love your energy and I could watch you all day being enthusiastic about stuff! Looking forward to the next 💜 And as a fellow musician, I love the way you break down those small musical things you notice :)

[@adeebafirdaus1327]

I really love how your videos helps me appreciate their music more and more. 💜💜

[@downtherabbithole9143]

So happy to see you react to this…my first ever official BTS mv I watched! The Mic Drop dance practice is extended a little more as well (for an award show performance)…one of my favourite practices! I love how you guys interact with us so much - from the polls, inside jokes and now art. Just posted on discord…it’s the only fan art I’ve done & enjoyed it so much. A much looser style than I usually do for portraits. I was practicing light and the reference photo I used of Taehyung in ON was perfect for it. See you next week! Happy Hobi Day! 🎂💜

[@DarkWing494]

Well a tasteless Ratatouille is just a rat isn’t it 😄and if we gonna head towards more rap type of stuff we should have Caitlin on bit more, after all rap stands for rhythm and poems (and she is such a poet 😉) You can tell they went so hard against the haters on this song even the vocal line had bars. My bag is hella thick, my haters are hella sick and even the unspoken bar of RM is also hella SICK🤣(hence he came out of an ambulance😏) But seriously if you want to see how they started please check out their first song “no more dream” the lyrics are top notch but to be honest the official MV are quite cringey in today’s standard so if you do read the lyrics beforehand it is highly recommended to check out the dance practice instead because that is absolute fire. Same recommendation for their 2nd song too “we are bulletproof pt2” Keep it up spread the love 😜

[@QueensThief76455]

I had always enjoyed Mic Drop, but I became ARMY in 2019 so I missed the context of the song. It wasn't until I watched Aneesa's series, The Rise of Bangtan, that I felt the catharsis that ARMY must have felt first hearing this when it dropped.

[@sarahclawson3428]

I know rap isn't traditionally your thing. But BTS has some really killer rap songs that are rhythmically very interesting. I would recommend reacting to a song from MotS7 called UGH! The lyrics are thought provoking and the composition is complex even though it's not very vocal. However J-Hope does some of his signature melodic rap in it.

[@charnight181]

Andrew you are so good at explaining those musical "tricks", I'm sure that's not the right word, but you know what I mean. I wish you would do more of those! I still remember back to when you did a reaction to "ON" the MV, and you explained about how Yoongi was rapping "between the beat" it was and still is, so interesting.

[@17amanuel]

This is so interesting to hear you say this is so new, but looking back you have been reccomended very vocal heavy, jazz and mix r&b songs. Bangtan are originally a very Hip hop based band, especially their earlier works. Im sure there is a list below of songs and performances for you to react too. Also: When Sugar drops the "Fake Mic" Jin is the one who makes the sound of the mic hitting the ground. 👀

[@everythinggoes613]

Hahahaha The fact that I immediately recognised the "STEP OFF!" reference before the clip played! 😂😂😂 Loved seeing both your reactions to this iconic song! ☺💜

[@MichelleJohnson-gu3bz]

They sing and dance it with passion. I agree they draw you in. Love it! 💜
