[@CHAN-sb2qx]

Where the video before? Why gone? the video editor fired? How about Henry now?

[@nurmalasarialih2429]

Please react NYCT by NCTU haechan & Teil. Producer by Deez

[@babyb0ypn0y]

​@@CHAN-sb2qx they removed the XG reaction!!! Its just a bunch of WOKE HYPOCRITES they put video with a deceiving headline XG VOCALS 🔥but was ALL ABOUT SAYING XG is Culture Appropriate. XG is influenced and inspired by many American Music Artists of the 80's, 90's & early 2000's. Technically Hip-hop culture is CO-OWNED by both by black & asian communities. The foundation of what HIP HOP represents and stands for with its beliefs to the aspects of what is considered to be part of hip hop culture like breakdancing, DJing, the art of storytelling in rap they all have been HEAVILY INFLUENCED by ASIAN CULTURE. The asian culture that will always be tied to the creation of hip hop is ASIAN MARTIAL ARTS KUNG FU MOVIES but be more specific BRUCE LEE ENTER THE DRAGON in 1973. Wu-Tang clan explained and gives credit to how much asian martial arts films has had an impact on who they are. A woke channel like this claiming to fight against prejudice, discrimination & stereotype dont realize that its them thats doing the stereotyping and categorizing people. i could go on but now lets see who will be open minded to talk and who wont be and try to shit on what i said.

[@peppapigwantstoknowyourloc5830]

On my knees for Chill Kill RV please

[@ReacttotheK]

@@CHAN-sb2qx Hi, we have privated the video. We rushed to film reactions to WWY before our holiday film hiatus, and I did not have time to put in the proper research for XG and their history with working with black producers beforehand. Since he did not have this knowledge, when Henry saw the black inspired hairstyle (slicked down baby hairs) and the way the lyrics were phrased during a rap section, he commented on these parts saying they were cultural appropriation. It all boils down to the fact I didn't put in the necessary research, and am terribly sorry for the hurt I have caused the fandom. I have chatted with Henry since then, apologized, and gave him the feedback the fans gave us regarding the way he worded his criticisms. Moving on, we're planning to do better. After reading many different requests and suggestions from the commenters on the reaction, we have decided to do the following: when our film sessions start back up in Feb, we plan to film more XG content with our vocalists and dancers react teams to release reactions that focuses on XG's talents alone and plan a separate video or mini series featuring black fans, producers, choreographers, stylists, etc that focuses on the broader topic of appropriation vs appreciation in k-pop.

[@sc-xi5q2]

The edits had me dying 🤣🤣. I love them and the nerdy music talk. Thank you so much for reacting to Taehyung's song!💜

[@babyc3482]

The fact that v will probably watch this at some point, since him and JK have said they watch this KZbin channel. He is going to be so stoked to watch you guys dissect this down to its very cords and show that the song it's self is a slow dance of musicality. Bravo my friends

[@ReacttotheK]

Wow! Thank you, I hope that he does! We have a reaction to Standing Next to You in the works as well :) the info that he and JK watch our channel never reached me- did they mention it during a live or on weverse?

[@keta2222]

​@@ReacttotheK A live together I think .....

[@starises4596]

Layover is such a masterpiece, I'm glad he followed his heart and dropped the music he wanted to make ❤

[@Junggooki]

Thank u for reaction 💜 what i absolutely love about layover is that taehyungie is showing us just how important simplicity is in life, how we should enjoy every single moment no matter how small or insignifanct they seem because sometimes, it is those moments that saves us from the darkness.

[@eileencritchley4630]

V is a Jazz lover and saxophone player and there's Tiny Desk Band Practice and at the end V is jamming with the band on saxophone.

[@ruchimaurya6629]

the editing throughout the whole video is so funny. These memes I'm dying

[@jeanny4204]

not only the editor had advance knowledge in music he had great knowledge of a meme, kpop and also great sense of humor 😹😹😹😹

[@ruchimaurya6629]

so true @@jeanny4204

[@janetaskin2150]

As always, love your BTS reactions, thanks! V's tiny desk concert with this song & two others from his album is complete ear candy for musicians - the band is off the charts good & it is a restrained & enjoyable performance. The solo in this song is sax instead of flute & he shreds it! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@wisteriahimmelgard9214]

You're right. I hope they'd also react to tiny desk so they'd also hear the other songs. His best performance is in tiny desk. They'd love the harmonization there.

[@kiwee4577]

Editor being a bit wild today love it

[@ruby8903]

Ok but her piano improvisation with her singing at around 20:00 sounded sooo nice, I’d love to listen to a cover like that!!

[@alifc1082]

It's not cgi, it's Mediteranean sea, Mediterranean sun light He has a live band version, also a Tiny desk Korea with a saxophone version

[@Kitty-vt5putvr]

Thanks for this lovely reaction. I love when you go into the musical detailing of a track. For me Layover as an album is very much a cohesive musical story… the experience of listening to each track as they progress into the next one is just so soothing and healing as a journey. Tae has described the album as a chance for people to slow down and take a tranquil rest from their own lives and an opportunity to check in with themselves. Like a respite from the fast pace of modern life. Or a layover in between different stages of their life. With slow dancing, I would agree very much with the images conjured up and the words used by everyone… very much a soft, gentle paced dreamy, ethereal, shimmering, tranquil lyrical and beautiful utopia. With the MV, to me it is very much my interpretation that his own ideal world is being designed and created, if you look at the people in it they behave in a way that is unexpected, like the person eating the flowers in the car, or the fruit in the water. Tae has said that each video for Layover is created to portray the mood and feeling and picture he got in his mind when listening to each song. It was also interesting to me that you brought up call me by your name as a reference as in the weverse magazine article talking about Tae as a visual artist they mention it, and the scene at the beach during slow dancing is very reminiscent of the European summer holiday vibes of it. I very much enjoyed your reaction. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@AngelaSealana]

THIS VIDEO IS GOLD. Wonderful reactions and analysis, entertaining edits that enhance the content. Wow. If I had money, I would become a paid supporter right now.

[@ReacttotheK]

Appreciate the comment, it means a lot :) I'll pass on your compliments to the editor! Thank you so much!

[@HiHello-tz5ez]

Please checkout V's tiny desk performance 💜

[@hammymallory]

The editing on this was fantastic 👏 😂

[@cursedcroissant4117]

Thank you for this ....his album is so underrated

[@jistardust]

always love your reactions!!! your takes on each instrumental composition are so interesting it makes me wish i majored in music 😭 the editor of these vids deserves a raise i can't stop laughing at those memes 🤣

[@Kas.V]

Thank you very much for reacting. The video was very entertaining and fun. I love every detail of this video. Without a doubt Layover is a true masterpiece. Thanks Taehyung

[@DGERICAA]

Thank you very much for reacting to Layover, Taehyung is a great artist and performer, he put his unique vision into this. And it's always appreciated when experts notice it. Thank you. Postdata, love the edit

[@mileniarivera9129]

That piano section send me to heaven 😍

[@zee_silivalleygirl]

Editors went all out 😂 love the chord and flute solo discussions

[@MargaretSpillane-yl3pj]

That comment about the group having to sacrifice aspects of their own individuality is sooo on point.

[@v.vlenmf05]

Thank you guys, I love this reaction🤍 It would be great also watch a reaction to V in Tiny Desk, he performed Love Me Again, Slow Dancing and For Us amazingly❤

[@analynorlina9073]

Please checkout V's Tiny desk live performance.

[@0.0TK]

V x Umi new song is coming on tae's birthday 30 December 🔥🎊

[@khristinacruz9107]

We call this part of the flute 'Bossa Nova' style. In TyneDesk Korea V sang live with band.... it's amazing!!!😮😮😮

[@stygian1194]

" editor who is still learning : wut the actual f...lol " got me lmao

[@implodingstar1649]

Long time viewer here, just wanted to commend the reactors on diving deep into the various elements of the song, helping us, the audience, understand how complex it can be to create even a laidback song like this. Thank you for taking out the time to react and wish you all a happy new year 2024! P.S : The crazy edits cracked me up!

[@justmoi96]

I like how detailed everyone’s reaction is, I learned a lot. Thank you 🙏

[@uniqueuni2912]

Tiny desk Taehyung will be heaven for them 🥴🤭 thankyouuu for the reaction, love it so much ❤

[@danielarobles8990]

[@AngelaSealana]

[@frz_sri]

V’s Tiny Desk, absolutely stunning

[@danielarobles8990]

taehyung IS so peanut butter honey coded

[@lincohorn7750]

Tae has a Tiny Desk Concert that would be interesting to hear your take on. "Slow Dancing" includes an incredible sax solo instead of the flute. All the musicians are pretty amazing.

[@evey_evey]

Something about the music he’s put out, just.. *chef’s kiss*

[@dianavht]

Thanks for the reaction, the edits were so fun fkkds we love layover, which taehyung gave us 💜

[@0.0TK]

Everything is great about the song, it's calm and appropriate❤taehyungie's beauty is beyond comprehension, beyond understanding, beyond anything we have seen in our lives. it draws u in and leaves u speechless, in awe and the only thing u can do is admire him because there are no words in the world to describe his otherwordly beauty.

[@A.Adam22]

The song is not unrequited love, it is song about broken relationships and wishing they back together, listen full album is of his ex relationship.

[@hiroyuki9795]

Love the reaction, more reaction to V's music pls!!!

[@sugarboo7635]

React to his tiny desk korea live band versions,they are even more wonderful you'll definitely like that❤

[@geogass]

The edit is **chef's kiss** 🤌🏾

[@Ohnoddaeng]

oh dear the edits are getting crazier and crazier and I love it ! It makes the video very catchy and even if we don't understand everything (the reactor arguing about the tonality of the song at the end hahahaha) it's... yeah. I like how the quality of your videos is improving every year !!

[@CP_LUVS]

Thank you so much for watching this 💜

[@squam.riviera854]

new editing had me not blinking 😂 love it

[@sintakrisna5784]

now I really want them to react the live version in tiny desk korea. how the band carry the performance so perfectly

[@hyleore]

oooh I just realised V and I share a birthday, two years apart :o thanks for pointing out he's a capricorn lol

[@heylo757]

12:23 This whole not-quite-clave section was enjoyable.

[@lauraandriani241]

Thank you for this. I think you must see the Tiny desk Korea where V also performed some of his songs from his album layover

[@nazaleakusuma511]

cinnamon almond butter with honey 😂

[@Yami-jl3lo]

Too bad it didn't have the success it deserves cuz it's not pop or anything but Layover is ART! ❤ I'm not an ARMY and his voice and the music got my attention.

[@user-hq8nq2rj9o]

V’s solo album is so good,you can enjoy his meaning through this music video. And another thing is that I hope you could do more reactions about other bts members,like jimin “like crazy “ or jungkook “standing next to you “. They provide good music to us,and i wish you could experience their music well.

[@airytae]

Hi.. I really love your reaction...you guys need to reaction on tae's tiny desk korea.. it was full of musical taste ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@aoic7763]

thanks for the reaction! i don't know is it possible to react to V tiny desk?

[@0.0TK]

TAEHYUNG 100% SONG - 100% M/V - 100% VISUAL 100% VOCAL - 100% KINGS - 100% INSTRUMENTAL - 100% SLAY - 100% HANDSOME - 100% 아름답고 멋진 곡입니다. 앞으로도 태형이를 응원하 겠습니다!🎉🎉❤🎉😊😊😊

[@dilemmacave3]

The discussions on this channel are so interesting, I'm gonna take a music theory class to see if it helps me to actually understand them 😅

[@VKO27]

The fact that she caught the fact that the inspiration for the mv was call me by your name is incredible 😂

[@ParKbgtn7]

Honey peanut butter is so accurate 😭

[@miguelperezzambrano1792]

Would be great hearing their thoughts on the tiny desk version of V's songs!! :D Great video!!!

[@LisaMT1218]

[@HiHello-tz5ez]

He's a Capricorn got me dying 😭

[@maryhduke2307]

But never expresso....but yest to Compose Coffee commercials....lol

[@Junggooki]

V is the most original and creative of all the BTS members....eventhough I love them all. His stuff is always a but different from the other guys. They all say he's different from the rest of them as well as being the most down to earth.

[@Lillica-rw4uo]

This is my favorite song on the album you you to watch the live performances of it with the band, absolutely beautiful

[@rlewismays]

Love listening to experts talk about music that I love...The language of music is kind of Chinese to me, so I love hearing people explain it. Thank you.

[@sugatomytea7542]

"espresso and nighttime kinda vibes" is actually the perfect way to describe V's vibeeee

[@V_NYC]

Love the instrumental connections, demonstrations, and artistic opinions! Thank you!! 👍🏼☺️

[@didiiaburas9576]

Это так восхитительно, нежно, бархатный голос Taehyung. Ощущение такие, как будто душа парит над землёй, чистая свободная и бессмертная!! Браво Тэхён!!! 🔥🔥🥰💯💜💜💜💎💎💎

[@eileencritchley4630]

The person who played the flute solo is Cautious Clay.

[@dollfacethv]

I love layover so much, i learn so much things bcs of this album and it's soooo fun. thnk u for the reaction, i suggest u to react the live version, tiny desk or the band session. i loooveee live version so much!!

[@Saffion]

[@corchiina]

If there’s not at least one throwdown per season over the key, it wouldn’t be Classical Musicians React 😚

[@tytayapromreuk]

[@xalxvx]

6:23 NOT CMBYN IM CRYING😭😭

[@SWCcomposer]

0:59 and the award for the most oblique Dreamcatcher/CLC allusion goes to the editors

[@Lydia-rb8so]

I haven't been here in a while, and may I say your editing has leveled up? Very enjoyable. Also, I wanna hang out with with percussionists lol. They seem like my kind of people.

[@stellawang9535]

That's the funniest rttk video I see. The edits and those memes are amazing. I tried my best to hold my laughs at bay in a quiet office!

[@kaori3910]

My favorite songgggg

[@tytrack95]

Thanks for the reaction! Can they react to V's Tiny Desk performance? Or other Layover MVs?

[@didiiaburas9576]

Самая потрясающая реакция, какие красивые и искренние лица у фанатов Тэ. Арми супер, спасибо вам за поддержку и любовь у Тэхену. Песня завораживающая, голос шикарный бархат. Мы за Kim Taehyung, и мы с вами 💪💜💜💜

[@xiomara7]

the video editing is so good

[@AgustDsword]

11:25 the way taehyung just zooms across the screen 😂😂

[@debbiemoodenbaugh9883]

You guys should watch the Tiny Desk Korea performance of V with his live band, especially the elevator guy.

[@iza9126]

I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

[@kaylamountain3988]

For the flute “sigh”, to me (which could be wrong, I haven’t played in years haha) it sounded like crescendo, and then the flutist altered the pitch to be flat through the airflow and embouchure to propel into that next note or two with an immediate decrescendo to give it that slurred descending feel without individually playing all the notes. If you give a bit less air without tightening your lips, the sound will fall flat, and the tighter they get, it gets sharper, so you can produce that “falling” sound. Also, probably cleaned up in production with some reverb

[@magicsoup12]

I loved the backgrounds!

[@anixies8276]

FINALLYYYYYYY🎉🎉🎉🎉 waiting for this reaction 🫠🫠🫠

[@vw2770]

Nice visual edits ! 🎉😊

[@Life_With_Liz24]

You should show them the version of slow dancing on the tiny desk korea peformance cos i really think they would love the instrumental changes that were done

[@g.k.2969]

[@marieelainemercado]

Please watch V's tiny desk. I'm sure you'll love it.
