FIRST TIME REACTION To Crush (크러쉬) - 'Rush Hour (Feat. j-hope of BTS)' MV

[@poza9134]

This is his comeback after serving for 2 years in the military. So he is celebrating finally being back :)

[@wongpauline22]

indeed...apparently those 2 years where quite painful from what I gathered in his interview with IU...it's like all music/song/happiness were ripped away from him & his tongue was tied...as what he said in the song....imagine all that energy coming out....this album is so meanigful! JHope was pure magic! So proud of him...also seeing so many bangtan choreos...gives me that sentimental feelz.

[@jeanny4204]

yaaasss... he's rushing for his moments..a bit sad because he still haven't received greater love support as he deserves, but what a great comeback.. 💜💜

[@crystalsnow1138]

@@wongpauline22 And that is why I hate when people say military service is such a great experience for Korean men. It's not a vacation and is very hard mentally and physically,

[@indigoshift13]

So was that little salute at the end a sort of send off from Crush coming back from the military to Hobi going in?

[@leticialicheta511]

I'm so happy Crush is back from the army! He is one of the biggest names of khh and krnb, this song is so great, jhope fitted so well in the song, really really great song

[@TeddyGreyOS]

Takes a real man to be enlisted like that, well done to him! Definitely, this song was very infectious!

[@scarfacechung]

This is a booooooooop I am waiting for you to see Arson though. Prepare lol

[@kimberlycarrigan8824]

@@TeddyGreyOS it's the law. All Korean men have to join.

[@TeddyGreyOS]

No I know.. Crazy how that isn’t deemed sexism though 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@trash-3058]

@@TeddyGreyOS The Korean population is going down so there is some thought that they may make it mandatory for women too (but idk) Sexism is a taboo topic in Korea with women getting a shit ton of hate I’m pretty sure the reason why it was specifically men was because women are perceived as weak plus they needed people at home when others were in the military (when the law was made) The politics and social issues in Korea are different from the one you or I would be used to so the conversation is completely different Being called a feminist is considered a bad thing/insult in Korea for some inference on the gender equality situation Plus I’m sure a lot of Korean men aren’t too happy about having to go to the military while women don’t have to worry about it lmao

[@zetayoung6694]

The whole onomatopoeia is jhope’s thangggg man, he does it so much it adds so much to the whole verse. Jhope started as a well known street dancer, and he even won a national title in 2008. So when he raps he’s basically dancing with his voice if that makes sense

[@nerasomnia]

J-Hope sure loves his onomatopoeias and sound effects

[@TeddyGreyOS]

Sounds like I’m gonna love J-Hope then!

[@marinal.]

[@jhopeur7219]

j-hope does wordplay with onomatopoeia all the time, both within his verses and as adlibs. It's one of the things he's known for with regard to his lyricism and delivery (the sound effect here is also the actual Korean word for snapping a picture so he just said the word in the way that sounds like the sound--again, pretty common throughout his verses going back all the way to 2012). I don't listen to Stray Kidz but I know Changbin is a fan of j-hope so he might have been inspired to do that sort of stuff by him. We always say that j-hope is one of one--very distinct and identifiable--and that in the next generations of western and korean rap we'll see upcoming artists doing "j-hope flows." He's an innovator and does a lot of stuff that no one else is doing. If you get into more of BTS' discography and his solo work, you'll see it too. He's just different.

[@shaymarie3711]

CRUSH said he felt like he was stuck in traffic for the last two years while serving in the military. He said music is everything to him. Two days after finishing his military duty he was performing. That is why he rushed to the studio (which he could). He said something to the affect that he had to do this song immediately because that's when it would be the most authentic.

[@loredell]

As they mentioned, Crush returned from mandatory military service (18months, that's why they mention 2years usually) so he wants to go home and do what he does: produce, write and sing awesomely. J-Hope said "it's crush hour ("he returned now, it's his time"), imma follow his lead" because Crush is a senior (2y I think) for him (and we already know seniority means a lot in many Asian countries, SK among them).

[@mikeduplessis8069]

Crush is the master of K-R&B. Smooth and sexy, jazzy, hard core rap, ballads, hip-hop, you name it. Some great collab work too.

[@alisong5011]

I like that you can hear JHOPE’s street dance background in his flows. He’s also got great voice control. Gives him a unique rap style. He’s grown so much since his trainee days (Jhope picked up rap later than RM and Suga, having not rapped until he became a trainee.)

[@psy2612]

Very thankful for J hope honestly because Crush is getting recognized too. Crush is so talented and it would be a shame not to showcase this talent to the world. He’s the man behind the legendary OST of Goblin “Beautiful “. You should check out Crush collabs too like “Bermuda Triangle” and “Make her dance “you’ll be blown, you wouldn’t wanna miss it. And most definitely his songs, he always drops a no skip album.

[@mpgisbtsarmybaefighting2838]

Good to know 💜

[@emelinekpelou7648]

Bermuda Triangle is so good

[@sleepylisa_6705]

Crush and J-Hope really meshed together really good in this song. It really felt like they have a simular vibe and energy :3

[@klmbs67]

Thrilled to hear Crush’s song. He is a masterful songwriter, singer and producer. You know this is Crush’s bop

[@biru-kelabu-0821]

I'm glad you like this J-hope's collab. I think the vibe of this song is rather similar to his songs on his mixtape "Hope World". I look forward to your next BTS reactions. Ever since BTS announced that they were taking a break from group music last June and would be focusing on solo projects, we ARMY have been enjoying their constant release of new music. J-hope was the first to release his solo album "Jack in the Box" while the rest have been on collabs. Suga collabed with Psy (of "Gangnam Style" fame) on "That That", which he also produced. You've already reacted to RM's collab with Blaming Tiger, "Sexy Nukim". JK collabed with Charlie Puth on "Left and Right", and the vocal line with Benny Blanco and Snoop Dogg on "Bad Decisions", but these last two are pop songs, so I don't know if they would be something you'd like. In addition, Suga has also produced a ring tone for Samsung (a funky little number) and the background track for their online game (a peaceful piece of music), as well as a haunting soundtrack to their webtoon, with the beautiful vocals of Jungkook. Suga is such an amazing and versatile producer. I can't wait to see what he does in his own album, which will be his third solo project, after his mixtapes "Agust D" and "D-2". RM said that his album would probably be next to be released, hopefully by the end of the year, so we're excited about that. This will also be his third solo endeavor, after his mixtapes "RM" and "mono".

[@maryannbaxter73]

Some Bruno Mars, some Jamiroquai..... loved it. And J Hope is spectacular. Crush has so much jazzy, R&B vibes and he sings beautiful too. He has some romantic songs that I like. Loved the "Chiku" "Chiku" too.

[@gevina_]

Love how thoughtful, polite and kind you are Teddy, "thank you very much Ellen" was very sweet. Very fun reaction 💛 and as always, super cool commentary !

[@tracydowd4013]

I really liked this collab, it was definitely a HOBI vibe. He's making the right choices for collabs for himself. That's what I'm noticing about the collabs that BTS are doing. Doing what they wanta do. 💜

[@blackswanxo4191]

If you like JHopes rapping style in this song you should listen to his first album “Hope World”! Such an amazing album with a good mix of styles☺️

[@keiralottering2088]

J-hope adlibs are top notch. Never disappoints

[@leena1780]

I really want you to check J hope’s solo work , can’t waittt 😋

[@j-hope1341]

This song is fiiiireeee OMG , I loved Crush sm I didn't know his voice is so beautiful like that , and of course my man Hoseok !! I don't need to speak, he killed it, his dance, his voice and his presence are all perfect, this song will hit so hard . I know I'll listen to it a hundred times a day and never get boring 😂 as everyone says " Hoseok never had a bad verse " It seems that they found each other, their style is similar and this passion in music will lift them to a high place So so proud of hoseok and the hard work he did in a very short period of time, he proved himself well , I really can’t wait to see your reaction on more jhope’s song especially base line & 1verse I know you’ll love them

[@lisacsarmiento5627]

Loved your reaction, this song is just a vibe, & yes it has that Bruno Mars flair to it.. Crush really crushed this, he sounds so good!! and it being his song right after completing his military service so the lyrics IMO could have reference to that, loved JHope's part too and his dance moves are so smooth, he blended well with Crush not over powering but complementing each other. Great collaboration 👌

[@linda8595]

Really can see how brilliant j-Hope is when he’s in center and danced with professional dancers. Hope he will release a solo song with his own choreography.

[@ceci8556]

I thought of Bruno Mars too, immediaely. There's a blend of jazz and funk that sounds fresh and retro at the same time. I absolutely love it. This is my introduction to Crush, and I'm sold.

[@sunfloweryoonie]

To see more of jhopes rap abilities and personal style i would recommend his solo stuff like arson and more but also some of the stuff he did with bts like rapline songs as the Cyphers or tear!! His rapping personality changes very much depending on whether he's solo or with bts. The biggest difference is seen now in his solo album he recently released "jack in a box". So to get a better grasp on him as a rapper i feel one has to see both his bts and solo persona :) loved the reaction! I don't know that much about crush but i love this song very much!

[@jayjay-cl8yy]

suga is pronounced shoo-guh, the first two syllables of the words shooting guard, his favorite position in basketball!

[@Isaog7]

Good that it put you into a good mood. That is j-hope's intention originally and the reason for his name. He's our Hope and we are his hope. Really love that he did this track with Crush. So Crush gets the attention he deserves 💜

[@murrayjane46]

Man oh man... Crush and J Hope?? This is a vibe for sure. Crush and Zion T are elite when it comes to KRnB. Love the reaction!

[@brufranco4221]

Jhopeeeee

[@MinSung931]

First things first I love the beat and both crush and Hobi slayed their parts. Also I love the little Mic Drop reference hobi did in the choreo. The beat is also so catchy and I love the lyrics too and I also love how 'busy' the MV is and I also love the way the lights are and the colours and just the all round atmosphere of it. All in all I love it all

[@rafaelamartinsgurjao6411]

I noticed the Choreo too... even danced along! Rsrs

[@SuperQueenmommy]

What a comeback for Crush!!!!! And this is so Hobi🦋💜

[@asianiewie9142]

As a j-hope (and Jin) - biased person, I just want to say that I can't wait to hear your opinion on his solo works :D

[@Jaydope_]

JHOPE IS CRAZY 🔥🤯

[@triplej8666]

Crush isnt very big overseas but hes huge in Korea. He often adds jazz elements with contemporary more R&B styles.

[@chaaa7]

YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO JHOPE'S NEW ALBUM PLEASE "JACK IN THE BOX"

[@monkat3759]

I'm getting not to forget to enjoy the moment and do what you want to do b/c while you are crushing for your dream, your dream isn't insured b/c things are going crazy. Many have felt the Bruno Mars vibe. Great reaction. Enjoyed much.

[@lulusfieldnotes]

This is such a bop 💯 went straight into my playlist. I didn't know Crush could groove like that and Jhope's flow and rhythm is amazing as always! 🔥🔥 I saw a short clip of Crush at an interview with IU, as a suprise Jhope sent them food to the location - for everyone working in front and behind the camera - he is such a sweet soul. And Crush beeing a little flustered "I only bring me". 💜🤣

[@RS-oy6bz]

Please watch the 1+ hr performance of Jhope at Lollapalooza where he headlined the festival and set a historical record. You can also divide it into,2 parts though many reactors did in 1 . Promise you will enjoy it. He dropped an album some time ago Jack in The Box and performed all songs from there plus others from another album.

[@biju3439]

[@BaarbSol]

I really enjoy your reactions, It's great to see you listening to, analyzing, and enjoying the music. Keep doing it like that. Greetings from Argentina

[@salveperico8540]

I'm celebrating because Crush is back so better watch out!!! It is indeed #CrushHour 😊

[@muse9236]

I’m still fairly new to kpop… getting to know groups slowly, so this was fun to be introduced to crush with your reaction. And I will say that BTS isn’t my favorite group, but I respect them and enjoy lots. However, J-hope is definitely my bias from that group. Love his solo stuff.

[@bqanto]

The reaction during which you broke the floor was to DAECHWITA by Suga from BTS (2020).

[@moraimamendoza8170]

me gusta que hayas reaacionado tan rapido,como l-army lo aprecio, para mi es una cancion refrescante y de buena vibra, tengo 50 años y cada dia me llena de entusiasmo ver el desarrollo de estos chicos de BTS, todas estas colaboraciones que nos han entregado me parecen muy positivas,cuando un artista sale de su zona de confort y se arriesga es areciado por sus fans.

[@MirinaeH]

Thanks for the reaction! Hope you check out more of Bts they’re really amazing-

[@sarahjane86guitar]

I’m curious how you would react to some of J-Hope’s tracks off his first album that came out this year as opposed to his first mixtape. Ok, I’m curious and slightly scared for you if you did. Not sure if it would all be your vibe. Lol

[@oda4766]

This song is a vibe 🎶

[@catahoyos2065]

i think you should listen more to j-hope's work and you'll realize that that style of rap with those kinds of sounds is something he's been doing for a long time and it's something characteristic of him, and rather i think changbin has bits of j-hope, it's not hate and I know you're more familiar with stray kids, it's normal that you use them as a reference. And thank you for your reaction

[@lily_army_07]

This song is such a bop!!! Definitely awesome Collab!!! And you should react to BTS CYPHER PT. 2 - that song is fire! All 4 parts of BTS CYPHER are awesome... Please do react to BTS CYPHERs... And CYPHER PT 2 is personally my favorite... I think you'll like it...

[@-zr1pl]

crush & hopi it was amazing collaboration ARMY Please vote in idolplus as soon as 🙏💜💜💜💜

[@cahewett7]

Such a fun, funk vibe! Agree with you. You can't help but smile.

[@jannatarmy4242]

You have to react to more and arson of jhope The reaction was nice💜

[@ellystarke3470]

Crush has very nice voice, also good songs and is well known in Korea.

[@marinal.]

Hi, i am back. Good reaction, ty. Such a fun song. He sounded similar to Neo to me. Like the old school vibe. Hobi slayed like usual. Great collab. I never heard of him until this song. Looks like he had a rough time in the military. That makes me sad. I watched IUs palette and i like him. I am glad JHope is supporting him in this comeback. I love his cover song Beautiful hope u check it out. His an amazing singer. Borahae! -NY USA 2019 Army💜

[@Dayana-ye7tp]

Thanks! I am waiting for more bts things, they all are amazing

[@amelitaamy8641]

Try j-hope s new songs more and arson 😉

[@neddiflex2473]

You get "hate" when you refer to a senior rapper technique as a "Changbin thing" because, hmm, maybe because they were doing it first? Gee, I wonder why anyone would take umbrage at that...can't imagine. Yes, we get it, Changbin, 3Racha, and Stray Kids are awesome. I love them too. But they definitely got some of their techniques from watching their sunbaes Zico, RM, Suga, and yep, J-Hope.

[@TeddyGreyOS]

I refer to it as that because in terms of Korean rap, that is my only reference point… Perhaps people should understand that if they’re coming here for my opinion, they should accept it instead of trying to illicit a change 🤷🏻‍♂️ But I never said J-Hope learnt it from Changbin, I merely made a comparison, so if anybody is hating me for that, I honestly don’t mind.

[@JuliaBumstead]

yeah! great reaction

[@oyundariganbold7422]

Been waiting for this, Thank you :)

[@khaalida407]

[@tzalexo1306]

I swear I’ll wait patiently till you get to Outro Tear and Born Singer by BTS

[@hopeful-1733]

Loved the vibe! Sooo good

[@niamh062]

I'll always be an army at heart even when my main is stray kids. Suga and Jhope were my original Biases and they're amazing. J-hope is very big on sound effects and his street dance background is always quite strong in his work. He's a killer dancer as well as rapper. I'm a changbin bias myself and i love him but I don't really think the two can be compared as they both excell in their own areas. But be careful Teddy when comparing anyone to Bts the extreme fans can get quite protective of their idols. 😪

[@nimbusxs8806]

You should really react to arson by jhope and also ddaeng which is a Bts rap line song I think you’d really like

[@sandys1890]

Nope, "to take a picture" in Korean is literally Jjik-da. So "jjik-jjik" is like "snap it/take it" (it: a picture/photo).

[@spreadlove4094]

Glad u liked it. I wonder if you'd like Niliria by G-dragon feat. Missy Eliot or Zutter by G-dragon and TOP from Bigbang. Idk what the lyrics are like cos I've only ever vibes with the songs and never looked up the translations

[@lucy-mc6jq]

Maaaan I agree on the Bruno Mars thing but this is definitely inspired by G-Funk and title like Fantastic Voyage by Coolio, I can hear the little funk bass and the rythm is changing with the same funk/rap base ! Of course I can hear that there was more work on the mix than G-Funk but considering the technology progress not surprising, and there is some jazz element to it with a little touch of disco like Bruno Mars so I understand why you thought of him first

[@rafiraf1252]

No worries about the changbin stuff cuz looking at your contents you really react to a lot of Straykids, but just so you know Hobi is well know for his adlibs, he is the King of Adlibs, if you get familiar with more BTS songs and j-hope's own songs, you will notice that adlibs is a common thing for j-hope :)

[@malikanch3809]

Pllllllz do run bts u will be shocked really , that's insane and rap of course

[@mounikaarava6277]

Hi teddy. Waiting for this!! And please don't mind immature minds down here it's obvious that you've heard changbin first and not BTS and you could only refer to what you've heard but point is you did it respectfully and people should see that.🤦by leaving stupid hate comments is only making an honest reactor like you to not give a try to BTS like they as creators deserve. And about the song it's a vibe song but didn't really click into me but good vibe like most of songs I've heard from j hope And introduced to crush will check him out now. J hope's style is very very different from whole rap game i would say you can't completely love him (maybe u can if u want to) in this game or dislike him. He does rap like hardcore rapper from song that demand such vibe in BTS and in his recent solo album Jack in the box which is very I mean extremely suprising from him. Which he intended to. Personal opinion his rap style for is like a good vibe one he play with sounding of words like pointed in this video as well. Very very different from RM and Suga He lives up to his name and creates a hopeful bright vibe songs but surprised everyone with the dark and deep style in his latest album. He's a dancer born again as rapper with help of RM and Suga so his style is worth visiting. Omgggggg too long .😅 it's ok to not read. And

[@purplegirlz_]

I really want you to really get to know bts rap line.

[@bluyoongi]

i hope you check out the title track “arson” from jhopes new album jack in the box, you can really see his duality compared to this one!
