[@yyko1070]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmeXk6SZqLySnZI its the video of jimin's dance I love most.

[@kerryholland4822]

As someone who trained in contemporary, it meant so much that these boys brought it onto the main entertainment stage. Introducing a more pure example for the public also with the alternative music video. I agree with all your points, also them going barefoot is brave because that can be the place where it can be easy to look unclean as it takes years of training to get just a decent looking pointed foot and even a lot of professional street dancers can’t point their foot with the right technique, they struggle. Respect to these lads.

[@Koko3op]

Agreed!

[@marshmart965]

Oh really? I just knew about the pointed foot here. Well, I was impressed with BTS...always. It's been 6 years but my respect to them has increased day by day.

[@kerryholland4822]

marsh mart yeah, street dancers work in sneaks and the style doesn’t train to articulate the feet like in contemporary. It takes years of training to get the foot flexible and strong enough to be able to perfect a dancer’s pointed foot, you cannot do it naturally. Just compare a professional pointed foot to anyone trying it. Same with a straight leg, you can’t achieve a dancer’s straight leg automatically, it’s VERY different a ballet straight leg than to another dancers kind of straight leg

[@beautifulbrezzy]

His reaction when RM came out is so relatable dude. Thank you for your lovely reaction

[@Koko3op]

Haha he does that to a lot of people! Thank you for watching!

[@dontplaywitharmyitsdangero3981]

Yes soooooo relatable 🥺💜

[@LijenC2357]

that couple walking steps RM did and the stand position, the eyes n his voice... yeah thats my reaction as well like always. hes the king

[@claranguyen2738]

Yasss finally someone appreciates the level of difficulty in black swan choreography. Dancing slower is definitely harder. They looked so fluid and I could tell how hard they practised for this choreography. This song should’ve been the one to break records.

[@bata-batutaako4677]

Jimin is contemporary dancer he is one of the best idol dancer in korea, and his voice is heavenly 😍😍😍

[@sel483]

agree!

[@star9874]

Loved the reaction! Could you do a reaction to the black Swan MV? Jimin does a lot of contemporary in it

[@beatriceblue50]

I approve this message

[@jimjimcherie]

YESSSSS

[@cche16]

you should react to the actual mv. it showcases way more of jimin's contemporary background. you'll really be impressed with his moves in the real music video. i think you'll really enjoy it.

[@lhiel1270]

Yes please ♥️🙏

[@Roxanneh78]

Jimin snatching men, women, children, your grandma, grandpa, your doctor lol

[@jerseygirl6221]

Mr. Steal yo everybody 😂😂

[@ancip485]

Black swan's lyrics are based on an artists/ dancers shadows and the Martha Graham quote 'A dancer dies twice - once when they stop dancing and this first death is more painful.' BTS are basically singing about their fear of loosing their passion for music. RM wrote the lyrics.

[@Koko3op]

RM Did a great job!

[@sandymartinez5434]

By the way, Jimin has a solo performance in Black Swan that is beautiful in the official music video.

[@noneedtoknowmyname7403]

Jimin are the top student for Contemporary dance back on the day he is still in his school.. And if you like contemporary kind of dance.. Maybe you can check out their performance for Spring Day and Butterfly..BTW.. Tq for the awesome reaction

[@Koko3op]

Great suggestions! Thank you for your comment!

[@diannetics18]

To add to the "Jimin dances with every bit of his body", I noticed that his clothes become part of the dance, too. His fit dances with him in unison which completes the whole visual aspect of a dance.

[@ashtonbryan1776]

The reaction to see RM.... like same.

[@kateverett2223]

I don't know if you know this, but Hobi actually got kicked in the head during the floor part of the choreo. My eyes are always drawn to it after I saw it the first time. His professionalism and commitment amaze me.

[@Koko3op]

Caitlynne Everett Oh no way!! Never saw that before!

[@4054Theasian]

@@Koko3op re watch the floor work section, it happens at the kick up move. Hobi moves his hand to his head, but kept on performing. after in a live stream he said right after getting hit, he almost blacked out.

[@nenenow39]

Love your reaction!!! JIMIN IS THE BEST DANCER ON THE WORLD! i have literally never ever seen a dancer as talented as he is!

[@dinosaurjimin]

the way Joon got him right off the bat i feel that 😭😭😭

[@msl1689]

This is Jimin in his element. That's why he's just got that little bit of extra something with this performance. But everyone else was so good as well even without contemporary background, they all blended so well with each other.

[@user-qo4nf7yx3c]

Jimin learned contemporary dance only for several years at highscool. but he is amazing. If he choose to become a dancer, he would be the best contemporary dancer.

[@angiepranandari7927]

Thank you for reacting the video.... yes and jimin is soooooo greattt 😭😭

[@Koko3op]

Angie Pranandari Thank you for watching!

[@ShanYalesTale]

I'm the same...I always end up watching Jimin. I have to rewatch the videos so many times to see the other members...and then still end up watching Jimin. It's the Jimin effect....lol!!!

[@gracielaperez3713]

Most relatable comment 🫠

[@wendythomas9701]

This performance gave me chills. Jimin really came for me in this performance 💜 stay safe

[@illjustcallyoumine4924]

Black swan is my favourite bts song and seeing jimin get to showcase his contemporary background more makes me so happy, he was truly in his element here. And seeing you appreciate that makes me even happier

[@witchgroup]

I SAW YOUR NAILS AND I WAS LIKE "I'M GONNA WATCH THIS" now i'm gonna watch the reaction, you are beatifull by the way :D

[@giovannapadilha]

"It looked effortless, which tells that it's hard" YESS loved this comment, and laughed with you guys, cause it's sooooooo true

[@anitralarae_mahjacat]

The concept is drawn from Black Swan and the piece features the Martha Graham quote about how a Dancer dies Two Deaths. Their Making Of the Music Video Sketches (Eng Sub) are Brilliant 🖤💙

[@cyann410]

I really value your insight ! You point out and explain so much that the average viewer would not understand. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us. 💜

[@ginouclint7845]

loved the reaction! also slaying the nails and love your look

[@Koko3op]

Love that you love Ola's nails! You're so sweet!

[@Maraaha55]

Thank you for looking at Black Swan. I think that it has really not have the attention it deserves but in the future it will become a classic. You mentioned " how well trained they are", but the only one with ANY training in contemporary dance is Jimin, who was top in his class at school. ALL the others are experienced dancers, who have been dancing for more than 7 years, but NOT like this. To see these men perform like this, with not only the control but a real understanding and expression, you cannot help realising just how hard they WORK. When they were preparing a new piece it was common for them to practice 12 to 16 hours a day. Now they ahve more experience, and muscle memory is almost natural for them, they say they probably prep 10 or so hours a day. However, I believe that in order to really master this dance they probably had to put in more like the early 16 hours a day. And we've already been told that Jin, who struggles to learn new routines, actually started his practice a few days before the others. I'm making a point of looking at the dance work of more KPop boy bands (I'm not a fan of the 'dance' of female idols, which - even though they are beautiful women - seems more like serial posing to me, though I know I may be harsh on them). The only band I have seen come close to BTS for being precise and clean, carrying the extension to the end of every digit and placing the weight and intention perfectly first time each time, is StrayKidz. The work ethic is massive throughout KPop (we in the west have not go at CLUE), but BTS' is truly second to none.

[@fay-mSOPEfan62]

Ooh Margret, just found you on here lol! I've only just discovered these reactors, so have really been enjoying Ola's analysis from a ballet dancer's point of view :) x

[@Maraaha55]

@@fay-mSOPEfan62 HaLLO, my friend! Yes I love watching certain reactors, and have done so for ages now. Some feel like real friends, though I;m sure they don't recognise me among the hoards of ARMY! I also like many different styles of dance, so, of course a ballet and modern dance perspective is really sound! Have you explored other KPop - Stray Kids for example? I focus almost exclusively on BTS as you probably do to, but I've seen one or two tracks of theirs with very sound dance!

[@melissahare9267]

I could watch your reactions all day! Please keep the Army fed and keep the reactions coming!

[@lalapozada7834]

I love it when he reacts. He is entertaining and appreciates great performance

[@yeonjunjiminlover253]

Loved your reaction ~ i think you would like Jimin's live performances of Lie and Serendipity choreography for that is amazing

[@Koko3op]

Aleksandra Nowak Serendipity reminds me of when I first discovered K-Pop 😭🥺! It holds such a special place in my heart. Ola may be aware of it already but will add to the list!

[@yeonjunjiminlover253]

@@Koko3op yes same Serendipity its one of first song i heard while i was getting into kpop and it always remain special to me also 🥺🥺🥺

[@entirelyteresa9391]

OH, I would love to see you react to Black Swan' Art Film performed by MN Dance Company. Also, the lyrics are so important since they come from the quote by Martha Graham "A dancer dies twice" "once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful." and its about BTS loosing their love for making music but finding it again

[@SEzzz53]

Me too! I'd love to see their reaction!!

[@user-oq2nn6cg6s]

Pls react to jimin's solo during the 2019 MMAs. His performance was top notch and he looks like a professional cotemporary dancer.

[@Koko3op]

It has been filmed, coming soon!

[@Sihame07]

When you talked about the slow dance, you reminded me of Taemin's Move choreography, it's just epic. You should watch it, it's really beautifull and impressive. Jimin often reminds of Taemin, they're both great dancers :)

[@Koko3op]

I think I've shown Ola 'Move' before but could look at doing so. I agree, Jimin reminds me of Taemin also! Similar flare when performing.

[@michellem6826]

Thanks 😊 this is one of the best reactions I have seen on Black Swan. Thanks so much. I enjoyed your perspective.

[@Koko3op]

That's so sweet! I've let Ola know. The MV Reaction has been filmed!

[@kathrinewollan]

Jimin makes me feel things when he dances and that's really all you could ask for

[@desmondehoppie4758]

Another Great Reaction / Review ! Your dance background is an asset that allows you to give added insight. Thank You for taking the time to make this video. Good things to you.

[@corgisrule21]

Jimin is such a great contemporary dancer...his old videos from his school days are amazing. He can do anything

[@mmmmha1489]

I freaking love your look and the NAILS!! Also very insightful reaction thank you!

[@Koko3op]

That's so sweet! I will let Ola know! More of his reactions on the way

[@immealldayeveryday9425]

My absolute favorite choreography from BTS is this one Black swan 🦢💜💜💜

[@nancysmith1385]

Love your reaction. You need to react to Black Swan from Jimmy Fallon The Tonight Show. BTS are perfectionists and that version is much more crisp and polished. They just get better and better as they age, like fine wine!

[@nicoleloss7987]

Jungkook vocals dancing and visuals are insane

[@missheju169]

I love love love your reaction ! I hope you will enjoy BTS’s journey There’s so many dance practices They say Dionysus, idol, On, run is hard My part is the clapping and swooning and squealing ❤️🧡💜❤️🧡💜😁🤣😆

Oh wow a Corden reaction?! I'm the blip in your analytics that ran through all BTS reaction on your channel. 🤭 Sending Ola 💜💜💜 Perhaps an MV and maybe the artistic film watch as follow-up? I bet Ola's insights will be golden.

Haha we love blips! Yes he has also recorded an MV reaction! On it's way soon!

[@aabigail.]

Omg a canny stop staring at your nails there beautiful!😍💜

[@archiebrulet4931]

Love love hearing commentary from dancers! I don't know if someone's mentioned this, but the set is about the subconscious meeting the conscious (symbolized by the waterfall) The album is also about exploring our shadow sides, as explained by Carl Jung. There are very few artists who can put on such a technical show like bts while incorporating complicated theories and symbols. True artists.

[@jingcc0121]

Thanks for your reaction! I appreciate your expertise and review!

[@momohatsana]

The way you broke down the techniques especially the slowed down dance and how you can’t hide mistakes. Wow! Not a dancer so never thought of it that way. Now I am even more impressed.

Thank you for this reaction !! I can’t dance or are not anywhere near of understanding how hard the different kinds of dances are. I guess a lot of army’s are like me. We need reactions like yours to understand how good they actually are. You saying these things just makes me appreciate them - but especially Rm and Jin more. We laugh with them cause it’s always „yeah they are the worst dancers haha „ but they pull this stuff of too. Apparently very good. And I should appreciate it even more now. Your reaction was not over the top praising and screaming - you were honest and sincere and i love that 💜😘 Thank you 😊

And y'all missed the 1 mistake. V accidentally kicked JHope in the head coming up from floor work. JHope just re-adjusted his headset and kept dancing like nothing happened. In an interview afterward he said that he was almost knocked out. THAT is professionalism! Everyone please be careful, be safe, be well and God bless you all. 🙏😷💜♾
