FIRST TIME LISTENING | (Jung Kook) 'Standing Next to You' | THIS WAS A FIRE

Agree, he is fantastic

[@andreastrandlien440]

All of BTS can do that. It was something they worked on from the beginning as a group so that they could sing live in all their performances. Jin even joked about how the practices have expanded his breathing so he can stay under water longer than any of his friends, lol.

[@myrnariley7755]

@@andreastrandlien440 just fyi Bang Shi Hyuk himself said from the beginning, before BTS debut, that he picked Jungkook as the main vocalist because JK is the one whose voice remains stable even while performing a strenuous choreo. The 6 other Bangtan Boys acknowledge that fact.

The one that did "On the Street" with J.Cole was J-Hope. He's part of the rap line. Jungkook (or JK) is a main vocalist. Keep exploring... all seven of the BTS members are incredibly talented! As a group, their live performances are fire! Thank you for your reaction. BTS paved the way for global Kpop! 💜

Yes, it was JHope been very respectful to J Cole.

[@patriciamoran8034]

If you want an example of the versitility of BTS, check out the Black Swan concert performance. Also, V's solo work is really good, more jazz and R&B. If you are interested in K-rock, look at Black Rose

[@crystalsnow1138]

BTS did not break up, they are still very much a group and they actually released a new song a few months ago called Take Two in celebration of their 10th anniversary as a group. All 7 members of BTS have solo careers, it's not only Jungkook. J-Hope is the BTS member who did the song with J. Cole called On the Street. Military service is mandatory in South Korea for all able bodied men for at least 18 months so during this time while they are completing their military service they have been pursuing solo music until they all complete their service in 2025. 3 members of BTS have already enlisted and the other 4 members will be enlisting soon. 6 members of BTS have already released their solo albums. J-Hope- Jack In the Box, RM- Indigo, Jimin- Face, Agust D/Suga- D-Day, V- Layover, and Jungkook- Golden. Jin will probably release his album after he finishes his military service in June 2024. But he did release a song he worked on with Coldplay called The Astronaut before he enlisted last year.

Jung Kook is the main vocalist of BTS. They are not broken up. They are in the process of fulfilling their military requirements. Jung Kook is not fluent in English, but he took the challenge on to do an all-a English album to hopefully compete in with Western artist. This is the title attack if Jung Kook’s very first album. Rolling Stone named him as the only Asian in their list of top 200 singers of all time. There are some really good live versions of this: iHeart (live band), Jimmy Fallon, M Countdown (yesterday), Audacy and Monday is doing a live concert and broadcasting it for free for the fans. This is an homage to many throwbacks, Esp. Michael Jackson. Aoh, he also did a short mini concert on time square this week and only gave fans 30 minutes notice. Thousands showed up. You asked about J. Cole. J-Hope is the member who did that song. All seven members of BTS are very different but extremely talented. There is no main star among the seven. They are literally all seven stars. (And I’m it just saying that because I am a fan). I hope you will react to BTS and to the members. I saw a couple the other day who did one solo from all seven. It was really nice. My suggestions; BTS “On Kinetic Manifesto” “Run BTS” dance practice “Mic Drop” “Fake Love” Rappers RM - “Wildflower”, “Joke”, “Lonely” (or Tiny Desk Concert -live) Suga (aka Agust D) - “Haegeum”, “Daechwita”, “Amygdala” (this is a trilogy) J-Hope - “More” (I am obsessed with this song)? “Arson”, “Momma” Vocalist - Jin - “Astronaut”, “Epiphany”, “Moon” Jimin - “Set Me Free”, “Like Crazy”, “Lie” V - “Slow Dancing”, “Rainy Days”, “Christmas Tre” (or Tiny Desk Concert-live) Jung Kook (JK) - “Still With You”, “Euphoria” (live at Wembley), “Stay Alive”

[@alexinfired7109]

I second this

[@Cristobels-Green-Boots]

Very helpful comments, thank you: Let’s not forget that JK has been quietly recording since he was very young - I adore ‘Still With You’, & his tribute to the Hyundai, ‘All of My Life’ - (which I think is a demo but is on KZbin Music anyway)… ‘Only Then’ - I don’t much like the ‘power ballad’ arrangement, but Jungkook’s beautiful vocal (the key change for the last chorus!) always moves me to tears 🥹 Can I also mention Agust D’s ‘Snooze’, which had a life-changing effect on me…I love the lyrics, the strolling tempo, the vocal, & - most of all - the beauty of Yoongi’s voice, & his tender advice for those who hope to follow in his footsteps: Your choice is a fine selection of recordings (I’m about to become acquainted with J-Hope’s ‘More’) Thank you very much for sharing! 🙏🏻💔🙏🏽

[@JeonJungkook-wr4yr]

Jungkook is from the south Korean group BTS there are 7 members and they are still together they never broke up they are just taking a break from group activities to do solo stuff since 3 members are in the korean military it's mandatory over there. Also jhope did the song with jcole to answer your question. Also you gotta check the live performance he did in time square it's massive it looked like new years eve. Jungkooks album called Golden and it's literally breaking all sorts of records his song Seven ft Latto went platinum for reaching over 1 billion streams on Spotify. But every member in bts has broken records as soloists an as a group together as well. Jungkooks album isnall in English and he's a global pop star Definitely.

Welcome to BTS! Jungkook is the youngest member of the 7 member globally popular group (3 incredible rappers and 4 awesome vocalists) from South Korea called BTS. BTS debuted back in 2013 and have a huge discography. Since they all must start completing their mandatory military service in Korea, all seven have released solo projects throughout the past several months and Jungkook was the last member to release his solo album called “Golden” which includes the song “Standing Next To You”. They will regroup after their enlistments in 2025. I strongly encourage you to delve deeper into more of Jungkook, as well as the the other six members’ solo works and their body of work as a team. As a dedicated ARMY (which is the name of the BTS fandom), I’m very confident that you won’t be disappointed! To get a little feel of BTS’s diverse discography, you’d likely have fun checking out the 2021 Festa Live where they sing a medley of their B-sides from across the years. Also every one of the seven members are just as insanely talented as Jungkook. All the music is unique, crosses multiple genres and there really isn’t a “miss” on any of the albums, so just dive in and enjoy! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 RM released the Indigo album Jin released The Astronaut single (was a goodbye-for-now gift to Army as he was the first to enlist) Suga released the D-Day album J-Hope released the Jack in the Box album Jimin released the Face album V released the Layover album Jungkook released the Golden album

It’s the title track for his first solo album “Golden” that came out 11/3/23. Some reactions stated that Jungkook wants to be MJ which is ridiculous. Jungkook is a member of BTS which is well known around the world for over 10 years and he’s comfortable being himself. Anyway, I am grateful for your honest reaction and appreciation for his God given talent.

Hii nice reaction, i'm so happy you enjoyed Jungkook's music and dance (you can pronounce kook as cook). You are right it is definitely inspired by MJ XD Jungkook is the main vocalist of BTS and the youngest member of the group, he has been training to sing ever since he was 15 so his vocals are always on point especially during live performances! BTS are on a break right now as some members have enlisted in the army for their mandatory service. In the meantime, all members have released solo albums before enlistment and Jungkook's was the last one. Jungkook has been making huge waves in American ever since he dropped Seven in the summer so his album Golden had huge anticipation and it did not disappoint! Jungkook even made a surprise performance in Times Square pulling thousands of people with only a 30 min official notice from the company. I look forward to more reactions by Jungkook and suggest you listen to his entire album Golden

71 year old BTS Army here. Jung Kook is the main vocalist and youngest member of BTS. None of JK's solo releases have anything to do with Kpop other than JK is S. Korean. All of JK's solo releases including his just released album "Golden" are all in English. There are no S. Korean songwriters, producers, recording studios or MV shooting directors or locations, etc. He is blowing past Kpop and jumping head first into the American pop market. He is using American Grammy Award winning songwriters, producers, recording in the U.S. and filming at mostly U.S. locations such as Universal Studios in Hollywood. This one, however, is an abandoned power plant in Budapest, Hungary. No green screen. The director is a very famous Ukrainian director who has directed for Harry Styles and many others. His self professed dream of being a giant pop star is clearly beginning in a big way! BTW, there are now 3 live performances. iHeart Radio, Jimmy Fallon Show, The Today Show, a KILLER performance in Time Square in NYC, and there is also a KILLER Official Choreo Version.

GREAT reaction! Thank you for being so real, honest & effusive about how impressive this MV/song really is. This is a grand slam of a pop song. All 7 members of BTS are impressive talents, but I think JK is the most naturally gifted. Very early on, as he saw JK’s talent blooming, the group leader RM gave him the nick name “Golden Maknae,” as maknae is the Korean word for “youngest of a group or family”. It inspired the name of this solo album, GOLDEN. As for next track, from the group, a hype song from Feb 2017 is “NOT TODAY”. Or the track which really spread like fire in Nov 2017, which is the one that got me hooked for life- MIC DROP, Steve Aoki Remix. Enjoy this journey, it’s a serious blast, & you will become grateful for what they give to you, I assure you.

Jungkook or JK is only 1 of 7 BTS members but this gives you an idea of how much talent this band has. There is no weak link-every one excels in what they do as a group or as a solo artist. Three members are currently in mandatory Korean Arny service but prior to that, BTS announced a hiatus from group activities. Shortly before enlistment, each member created individual projects that explore their own interests. Jungkook, is the youngest and last one to release his solo project, an EP called Golden in the pop genre. V or Kim Taehyung released an album, Layover, which is mostly in jazz. Jimin self-produced an album that revealed deep personal emotions and his forte, dance & choreography. Suga or Min Yoongi released an album D-Day, third part of a trilogy of solo music, then went on a US & Asian concert tour before he enlisted. RM, BTS leader, produced and released an album, Indigo, that displayed his poetic lyricism and creativity. J-Hope produced an album, Arson, and headlined Lollapaloosa in the biggest attendance it ever had. Jin, released a single, the Astronaut, and sang it with Chris Martin & Coldplay in Argentina. BTS will reunite in 2025, so if you’re serious in discovering BTS, you have more than enough materials from the group and solo projects. We’ll be with you, listening & watching, because we’ll miss them like crazy!

His new album doesn't just sit with this genre neither. It's all in English despite him not being fluent in English. Its packed with R&B, UK Garage, EDM, Afrobeats, Pop, Ballads, Reggaeton etc. He sings 5 of his songs from the Album in his surprise pop up concert in Times Square which is a must watch as well as his performance on Jimmy Fallon. He was a global superstar along side the rest of BTS but since releasing his solo debut he has sky rocketed to phenomenal heights and he was even hand picked to perform the opening ceremony for the world cup last year in Quatar with the song Dreamers.

Yes! Thank you so much for appreciating JK's music 💜 this is how a reaction to BTS and JK should be much love from 🇻🇪

[@김인애-d4e]

JK is my everything ⚘️

[@amyrivera77]

Nothing gives me more pleasure than seeing new people appreciate Jung Kookie and BTS! I highly enjoyed this video. Thank you!

[@suzannemarrero1274]

BTS is not broken up. They each need to satisfy their military duty. They will all be back together in 2025. Most of the 7 members are doing solo projects before they enlist. Solo projects are giving them a chance to grow as individuals. It's a brilliant way to see the tremendous talent each member possesses.

[@laurielarsen7251]

You're just getting started....Dynamite and Butter are the two tracks that received airplay in the States, as they were done in English, Jungkook's Solo Album, Golden is done completely in English. All 7 members of BTS have been doing their own solo works since last year. And you'll be stunned with the variants in their styles and compilations. Each member deserves to be reviewed and appreciated.....💜. You have now entered the rabbit hole of the journey known as BTS .....you won't be disappointed!🔥

[@sandraibanez8957]

Jungkook suoer talentoso artista tan completo gracias por tu reaccion😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@Marie_212.]

Todo lo que jungkook cante sea pop balada lo que sea es increíble mente excelente, este chico en especial esta haciendo historia ,y eso hay que reconocerlo, Jk es espectacular

[@BansheePurple]

Thank you for the reaction! Yes, Jungkook is part of BTS, he's the main vocalist, but still each member is incredibly talented and each one bring something different to the table! Since last year they started officially releasing solo albums and other projects because they needed a rest as a group and they need it to experience knew things as individuals to get inspirations and stuff and especially because they have to enlist to the military (3 members are already in the military service). The funny thing is that their "hiatus" is not really hiatusing lmao. Since that announcement we have gotten 120+ songs ( I'm not even joking 😂😳) all good songs. We armys are really a lucky fandom. BTS feed us so well with high quality music, incredible live performances and a lot of other content too.

[@blancajara2814]

hola desde chile army de 50 años orgullosa de mi prnicipe es que de verdad bts son geniales cuando entras asi universo no saldras nunca mas --grasias por tu reacio y a si mismo quedamos todos la primera vez que lo vimos es increible velo en vivo.

[@rumijj]

The iheartradio live performance takes it up a notch, absolutely amazing!!!

[@giss2437]

Jk El príncipe del pop❤

[@catherinemcintosh9550]

Jungkook is on another level with his dance, vocals and performance. His vocals when singing live will astound you, with dance btw. BTS are all mind blowing performers, but Jungkook…wow!

[@mayumikamino5635]

You should see him the performance Live at Times Square in NY ... It was sick!!!!

[@maryannbaxter73]

Yes, he is one of the 7 wonders, hahah. They are all incredibly talented and when they are together, it is pure fire. He is the youngest of BTS. The one that did the song with J Cole is J Hope. They, as BTS or now when they are doing solo albums always give their 100 percent. The MV´s, choreos, songs, lyrics to the top. It is perfection. A great homage to MJ.

[@caropvillar]

jk y mj excelent!!! GRAN HOMENAJE

[@Melissa-ls7zt]

Love when they speak English but the poetry comes from the Korean lyrics 💜

[@italy-tz4xg]

Thank you for the reaction and great comments. As it is right now, Jungkook is being held as the King of Pop. Also the Asian Michael Jackson. His album was just release and it's packed with incredible songs. His vocals are stellar. His dancing is insane and his stage presence is outstanding. The two songs before this one is Seven and 3D. These two songs along with this one Standing Next to you are already Chart Toppers. There was an awards show in S Korea called the Music Countdown Awards and Jungkook won 7 trophies. He's unstoppable and taking the world by storm. You need to watch Seven featuring Latto the rapper, and 3D featuring Jack Harlow. Also check the choreography version of Standing Next To You. He was also on Jimmy Fallons show and performed on that and did a surprise concert in Times Square. I'll guarantee you that you won't be disappointed with anything he does! 💜💜💜💜

[@valagal]

You're reaction is sooo cute! I love JK! This song is soooo satisfying! His voice, the choreography, ,the beat... i love it all!! 💜

[@dannaiuliana4634]

U have to check out his Live performances, either on Jimmy Fallon or the Time Square concert. Him in the studio is nothing compared to Live vocals, he is absolutely amazing. He sings even better Live while doing full on choreo & this is such a hard song to sing

[@amparocampos7927]

Una obra de arte!!

[@cemooney48]

Liked your reaction. JK's album, "Golden" was recorded and produced mostly in LA and with well know producers. He is the only one of the 7 which did his album entirely in English. Very important to see his live performances of this song, one on IHeart Radio, Jimmy Fallon, also his performance at Time Square. Interesting note, no one knew that there was going to be a performance, BigHit, BTS's label dropped an announcement only 30 minute before it began. It was announced at 5:00 pm for 5:30 showtime, at the height of rush hour in Manhattan. It filled up so fast, it looked and sounded like New Year's Eve. He did 5 songs with choreography. There is also a dance practice that shows exactly how good JK and his dancers are. If you are just getting into BTS, I suggest watching :Rise of Bangtan: it will give you an excellent introduction to all 7 members. There music, dedication to their music, their fans, and the positivity are like a breath of fresh air. One other thing in the song this video is on, if you listen there are some piece of music that reminded me of my favorite all time rap, I'm dating myself, Warren G and "Regulate". Enjoy the journey. Borahae (I purple you)

[@Maria2006001]

It's so satisfying to see a genuine first reaction from a non-fan and sensing the appreciation and awe! Hope you get more into BTS to understand more why they have such a loyal following!

[@LunaBolillera]

Aquí estamos de nuevo después de 9 mases aquí sigue esta gran obra de arte que quedará para la historia no la olvides , es increíblemente extraordinaria Italia disco de oro 💜💜❤️❤️🫶🇪🇸un omenaje a nuestro MJ

[@winkpinky1445]

Thanks for appreciating our Jung Kook. He has it all and it’s amazing how he is truly modest in real life. He, and the other BTS members strive for perfection in all aspects. The sad thing is they get no radio play in the US. Even with tens of millions of fans they’re shut out. It really pisses me off. Every award season they add a new clause to keep them from winning the awards they deserve. Especially the Grammys where they ask them to perform but get shut out. All the performances get standing ovations from the whole audiences. What the hell is the US afraid of? It sucks. Anyway Jung Kook is the youngest of BTS and everything you heard from this song is his true voice including all the background and harmony. This isn’t their first homage to MJ. I believe it was the first homage to MJ a few years ago and MJs nephew gave them a shout out saying they did his uncle proud. I’m just one of his fans, called ARMY, and I’m 65 y.o. Female aka Silver Army. Thank you for all the rewinds. None of it bothers us! BTW I liked and subscribed 😉

[@QueenFlowers-ht8uk]

When you appreciating Jungkook it made me cry❤ I love him so much. My favourite singer all time. Thank you for your genuine reaction ❤❤

[@patbw47]

FIRE from a SUPERSTAR!! I have been obsessed with this video and song since it was released. The live versions from Jimmy Fallon show is awesome as it shows more of the choreography and a little different version. There are a lot of special live performances and each one is WOW! JK , like you said, has the swag, the facial expressions, voice, charisma, dance skills, and gorgeousness to make this a video hard to beat. Jimin’s “Set Me Free” was like this for me too. JK with the angel wings is homage to BTS’s brilliant and beautiful “Black Swan” song. If you listen to his new CD “Golden” in sequence, a trip through a love story-each song has it’s own ump! I like the clean version of 3D without Jack Harlow and also love the new Remix of 3D with Justin Timberlake. I agree with many who said that should have been the original version instead of Jack Harlow, I became a huge BTS fan in 2021 and I am always amazed at their individual unique voices. How they combine their talents in their songs, mostly written by BTS members, sing live with difficult choreography has made me only increase my admiration for this group of young men. Plus from all the Lives they do plus reality show, they seem like really sweet young men who work extremely hard for their success while truly loving and respecting each other.

[@thehours59]

Have you watched the incredible remix vid he and Usher did? Aw man, it's sooooo freaking great....Usher has his own little stanza of lyrics added, it's phenomenal, they had so much fun making it, and I think Usher knew JK was heading into his mandatory military for a freaking year and a half the following week, was bittersweet (we all didn't know yet)...i'm sure you've seen it by now, but worth watching. Usher has STILL got it at 45 freaking years old, and like you said, I seriously respect and love how all seven members of BTS show soo much respect and appreciation of all the singers/dancers/songwriters before them that they adored growing up....

[@UglyaceEnt]

Check the Bts play list

[@SA01095]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it. You should def check out his other solo songs. Seven featuring Latto and 3D featuring Jack Harlow. You won’t be disappointed.

[@kathleenenright7770]

His solo album is great also and totally done in English…GOLDEN by Jungkook

[@newman716ET]

I’m a huge fan of all genres, but jungkook is the only person that really has it all. Vocals, dance, visuals, charisma, attitude. He’s insane and he’s elevated himself since the military break. Keep looking and you’ll be more impressed every day! All BTS members have their own niche and they’re amazing.

[@Hotshortie]

In Korean they have a hierarchy or a class system. Anyone Older than you are given respect. Jungkook is the youngest member of BTS. He was raised by the other members of BTS. You can see a little of each member in him. Also: The youngest is called the Maknae. But Jungkook is not called just the Maknae, he's called the "Golden Maknae". He's considered the greatest of all Maknae's. He's considered the GOAT of Maknae's

[@delmathornton3882]

JK is the Asian Michael Jackson and so is Jhope and Jimin also of BTS. I love this song, I cant get enough of it. All the 7 members of BTS are talented brothers, this is why they are known world wide. And as a female ARMY, they are all absolutely georgeous.........

[@airyfairy2396]

I'd recommend you start by getting a taste of BTS as a whole group first. They create music in a wide range of genres, and their production quality is top-notch. They have three full-English songs (Dynamite, Butter, Permission to Dance), which are often the first choice for English-speaking reactors. However, these songs were somewhat poppier compared to their original music as they were released during the pandemic with the purpose of providing hope to people worldwide. For that reason, I recommend you start with their Korean songs. The essence of their music lies in their Korean tracks. Songs like "On (Kinetic manifesto film)" and "Mic Drop" can be great intros. Their official music videos have English subtitles, so just turn it on. There's a reason they are considered the best in the world. Welcome to the world of BTS. If you listen to their music without prejudice, you'll discover a whole new world : )

[@Vivcharles]

Absolutely. Great comment.

[@ksverhagen3082]

The entire album is beautiful and he's phenomenal singer. I am almost at retirement age and his whole group and each member pulls at you with talent and humbleness. With their success! There is no age barrier with this group.

[@hasibahmdadnan]

If you're not aware, this song got 2 mvs. The other one is the choreography version and you can see the choreo better. When I first heard this song I thought it was MJ😅. It got me going back to MJ song to compare. MJ's voice is thinner and softer, even his talking voice is soft. JK is like the manly version of it. I'm not saying MJ is not manly but that's how his voice sounds to me. One thing that really reminded me of MJ is that both him and JK make this fierce expression when they perform. I saw another reactor saying that although a lot of people trying to give that expression, JK's is the closest. Dunno how to explain, it has something to do with his face muscle. 😅 Love your reaction👍☺

[@MakeMusicLA2012]

Love this! Play 7 another major hit off of this album. Jung Kook is phenomenal! It was a pleasure watching you appreciate him and his music. He performed Standing Next to You live in Tine Square. Watch it I know you will enjoy it. Like you I love the homage to MJ. Truly respectful and wonderful.

[@addison5938]

It was J-Hope, also I remember BTS that featured J Cole on his single "Hope on the Street". We've got some things to clear up. Yes this was intentionally an homage to Michael Jackson, one of JK's long time influences, however the music is original music and newly produced and newly written. Did they draw from past music? Probably. Just like a lot of other music we hear all the time. It is interesting how different people hear different things, others have called out similarity to The Weekend, Bruno Mars, Chris Brown and Justin Timberlake.

[@KaTie-wt1dh]

The one who made song with JCole was JHope, one of the 3 rappers from BTS 😉 RN each member has done his solo stuff. We have 4 vocalists and 3 rappers so you’ll definitely find something for you while listening 😉Would be nice if you do a reaction for all of them separately and then as a group 😁 Waiting for MOOOOREEE 😎

[@catherinemcintosh9550]

BTS are all now doing compulsory military time, they’re still very much together and will be back to blow our socks off in 2025 💜

You HAVE to listen to the live performance of this song. It's with a live band and a rock vibe is AMAZING
