First Time Listening To BTS (방탄소년단) 'Black Swan’ | Topher Reacts

[@SnowRivera]

Topher: "energy, energy, energy" Me: starts singing DOPE 🤣

[@rosieposey4493]

Same! 🤣🤣

[@singingrazors]

Lol, saaame

[@LisaMT1218]

Jimin, the solo dancer, trained in modern dance in middle school and high school. He also trained in popping locking and several martial arts. He is an amazing dancer. Not to mention he is stunningly beautiful.

[@emmamcintyre6997]

You should also watch Dimple & Pied Piper Live performance (2 in 1) it is my favourite live performance from them

[@femke7513]

Mine too😍

[@jasonraptis3913]

Great recommendation! One of the best…

[@YoongisSeesaw97]

"Better sprout these f*cking wings sir " I love it 🤣❤️❤️

[@HeatherQuinn]

A dancer named Margaret Pugh did a technical breakdown of this choreography, which you might like. She's sensitive to setting, lighting, space, etc. The one whose dance was featured, Park Jimin, has experience and training in street and contemporary dance, and also martial arts (he has a black belt in Taekwondo, and eight years of Kumdo - similar to Kendo - training). I believe his martial arts skills add to his mental focus, physical power, and movement isolations and dynamics.

[@singingrazors]

I thought you might like this one. Jimin was the main dancer in this video and has a load of technical training including contemporary dance and martial arts. For dancing, you might like some of the 3J stuff. J-hope, Jimin, and Jungkook. J-Hope is actually their lead dancer and is also absolutely amazing. Oh, and the one with the intense gaze that you mentioned is RM (NamJoon) he is the leader of the group. He's insanely intelligent and I think that lends itself to his gaze.

[@jaelove.bts7]

You should definitely check out Jimin's solo choreography for this song in the behind-the-scenes, he's such a beautiful dancer!! He was the one with the blue hair and half white and black (feathery) outfit

[@rosieposey4493]

I will die on the hill that this is the song they should have won a Grammy for but it wasn’t even submitted 🤣🤣 still it’s a technical masterpiece, the instrumental and the video and the lyrical meaning!

[@Anthoberries]

Jimin (the solo dancer with blue hair who sprouted wings) was given the feature to be the 'black swan' in this mv, and it makes sense as much of his dance training and dancing influence is in contemporary ballet and modern dance. It was really cute to see the other members hype him up about it too! He embodies this style of dance, but it's also a testament to how amazing BTS really is as a whole - they can make any style and genre their own and all members performed naturally and flawlessly.

[@Anthoberries]

If you loved this, you will absolutely love Blood Sweat and Tears. Highly HIGHLY recommend.

[@emmamcintyre6997]

I love this song, from the singing, rapping, music, dancing & just the location (Very famous Stage/Theatre in LA) is beautiful

[@AnalisseReact]

Hi, Solo dancer Jimin , he did contemporary dance and help the members for some movements ( if I'm not wrong) this song and choreography wow masterpiece ( they is a other mv to) so much to say and ( I don't know if I speak correctly English enough lol) they is a behind the scene of black swan if you want to watch , thank you , this performance live omg we're dead lol 🔥🤭😘💜

[@rikhmjustsomeguywithmousta4971]

Jimin and Jhope are main dancers.

[@kassiiaj8947]

Jimin 💖

[@MissJaxon]

Might I suggest Blood Sweat and Tears as your next reaction. If you loved Black Swan you will love BS&T. The story, the visuals, imagery, choreo just everything. You will love it 💜💜💜

[@singingrazors]

agreed

[@elizabeth6021]

Yayyy Another BTS reaction 🥰🥰👏💯👏

[@lubnakhan2941]

This track is art and its written by RM who is the leader, main rapper and primary songwriter, composer for the group with 186 track credits (at 2nd spot being youngest on the list of credits in komca) and 2 mixtapes under his belt with years of underground rap scene experience, .

[@ginatowner0t7]

I knew you would love this, and couldn't wait for you to see it🥰 I'm so happy you reacted to it, it was actually filmed in America. I hope you get the chance to watch the dimple/pied piper live performances. There is one video available that includes both. You will be 😳. I can't wait to count the "Child😏" I expect many😘

[@maradonaz]

The venue is the famous Los Angeles Theatre

[@nithisharao7]

solo choreo one is jimin

[@shanekasydial]

8:48 That was my guy Jimin 😊😊😊

[@krustykrab3377]

This song is about BTS's fear of loosing the passion for music. Idk if you turned on the captions or not but it's vital to watch their music videos with captions on to get the full experience. Also, it's better to pay attention to the full video or you'll miss parts of the storytelling like the shadow in the end.

[@BSYBang]

This song says, “The dancer dies twice. The first death is when the dancer stops dancing. And this death is much more painful,” the legendary contemporary dancer Martha Graham made its motif. Just as a dancer faces his first death when he quits dancing, it contains the fear of the moment when he will no longer be able to stand on the stage as an artist. "The more I do music, the more I fear that music will no longer give me a lot of emotion or trembling, but the moment I face my inner 'Black Swan' from the depths of my heart, I paradoxically realize that there is only music." [Suga] Ayy, they say my heart is not beating no more listening to music Tryna pull up Time seems to have stopped Oh that would be my first death I been always afraid of [RM] If this makes me cry no more If you can't make my heart tremble more How could I ever die like this But what if that moment’s right now right now Ps:Black Swan is my favorite song. When I had to end my 25-year career as a contemporary dancer, I felt the same way, and this song comforted me.

[@ttasyatiara]

YESSS PLEASE BLACK SWAN JAMES CORDEN SHOW. Theyre amazing live

[@christinajeune6817]

I recommend Blood Sweat and Tears

[@shreyasharma1101]

Thank you so much. This was incredible and i love everything about this. Have a great day

[@jey.ar.emmmmm]

[@corettajoseph260]

Thank you Topher for reacting to BTS it is my go to for a feel good moments and you two together make my heart flutter They have .music for everything Spring day will make you hurt and think.....

[@dktimber8467]

The one thing everyone misses is at the end the movement with the back lighting forms wings on the floor. Great reaction.

[@robertthomas2312]

This video was filmed at the Los Angeles Theater in California.

[@emilylee9894]

The opulent Los Angeles Theatre in downtown L.A. is a movie palace built in the 1920s and is still utilized for staged events. Jimin, the member featured, is trained in contemporary interpretive dance. Please watch the first original Black Swan MV, featuring the Slovanian Dance troupe with the BTS B Swan instrumental & "hidden vocals".It starts with a quote by Marth Graham, the recognized creator of modern dance. You'll be so happy you watched and listened.😉🫶

[@sugasmeow]

Just subscribed. Loved your reaction.

[@YoongisSeesaw97]

One thing I really always appreciate about your reactions is you notice so much detail ❤️

[@Slaaverin]

I enjoyed your reaction! Thank you for giving a chance to BTS :) I think you would love the MV Blood sweat and tears. It is so artistic and visually pleasing. Keep going!

[@Catnatti1]

If you like theatrical music videos you should check out Super Juniors' Burn the Floor performance video. It's definately a mood.

[@jayanthis6918]

Please react to bts mv fake love too. It's the song which made me an Army.💜💜💜 Bts is the first group which made me interested in k-pop. Now I am multistan but they have a special place in my heart because they bring back memories of my friends, school. Now I am graduated. 😍

[@naxira6832]

Topher how about u react to BTS from like the first album , Mv's first, followed by their b sides and then the live performances so u will kinda see their growth ,their versatility in different genre of music, their amazing lyricism and message .. 💜

[@MariaChavez-ey5sr]

The video was shot in LA and is so aesthetically beautiful. If you like behind the scenes there is a shooting sketch and Jimin dance shooting to really see him do the contemporary solo bits. Great reaction!

[@JeonJungkook-wr4yr]

You so gotta check out pied piper and dimple omg the moves are so sweet like butter I love it and the vocals my goodness itllcblow your mind.

[@camy9335]

I love you. I really do. You're like a friend that I hang out with every day and talk about bl and kpop. I don't have friends here who like these things so you became my friend. You and Psynergic. I'm Army and I'm loving that you're willing to get to know the boys more. Welcome to the rabbit hole!!

[@ericaelizalde1544]

Arte esto es puro Arte👏👏👏💜💜👍🇦🇷

[@shanekasydial]

Yaaaassss💜💜💜

[@tigerbangtan711]

They are My Everything. 💜 But, where is my Maxtul (Your reaction to MoD eps. 7)? 😅

[@AimiAz]

I'd love to see you react to a song called "Beautiful" by Wanna One pls!

[@imjusthere770]

You know some groups that you may like are txt, enhypen, and p1harmony

[@kidoairakuplusai]

Loved your reaction and detailed review. The location is the Los Angeles Theatre (which is a museum now), if I remember correctly. The solo choreo is by Jimin. There’s also a couple of making of videos (one specifically about Jimin’s parts) on their official channel, if you’re interested. They’re all subtitled, too. Also, because l’m curious, did you forget to turn the captions on or did you just prefer to watch this one without them? I have a feeling, that you would have liked the lyrics. Because the choreography expresses the lyrics very accurately, imo.

[@zambgwa]

Sorry but did you read the lyrics? It's something important about BTS, they always want people to read for their lyrics.

[@nithisharao7]

first

[@TheTransFlag]

Nice nails!
