Musician Reacts To ON (Live) | BTS | Jimmy Fallon

[@fy3845]

They shot this at Grand Central at 2:00 a.m. until 4:00 a.m. BTS did this performance 3-4 times in one shot each time which is very exhausting! Jimmy Fallon even said that he went to hug V and could feel his heart beating so hard through the back of his jacket. With most BTS performances, they post behind the seen footage of the making of MVs and performances. These behind the scenes can be found on the BangtanTV KZbin channel. It's worth watching especially if you are interested in the production aspect of their craft. Also there is a VERY good documentary film of the making of the ON track that you should watch. (BTS "ON" Commentary Film: Dialogue) Here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKHJpGmXm9t8ns0

[@HeatherQuinn]

Going by the information kiosk clock, what was shown on the Fallon show is a composite of two of the runs. 0:00 - 2:02 - starts at 3:25am 2:03 - 2:22 - starts at 3:09am 2:23 - 2:40 - starts at 3:28am 2:41 - 2:48 - starts at 3:10am 2:49 - 3:53 - starts at 3:29am 3:54 - 4:38 - starts at 3:12am 4:39 - 5:29 - starts at 3:31am

Their youngest who sing the bridge is the one who permanently doing the Adlibs and harmonizing the oTher members

[@cindylepo6784]

Jungkook is amazing but other members contribute as well.

[@fayrelux6108]

Yeah he’s an amazing singer, the other members contribute a lot too, let’s not discredit them, your comment seems a little off 😅💜

[@ianzanie1655]

Yes jungkook is amazing voice.. i love him ..

[@bmb1824]

While yes JK does the majority of adlibs especially during live performances everyone contributes. As the main that is part of his job. Ida S. did a really cool compilation of JK being the main and its not to diss any other member because BTS is 7 members but he takes his job so seriously and it seems as of late the hate and lessening of his role as others voices have grown and its unnecessary. Sorry if I went off a bit...It just saddens me when others discount one for.whstever reason because they are all amazing.

[@btstaehyungph]

Permanent is off..dont say that some of them do the adlibs too😉

[@cindylepo6784]

Yes, they had their in ears in. (If you pause at Jungkooks solo part you can see them). They have a longtime, from the beginner, choreographer Son Sung Deuk and the members contribute as well especially JHope who is the dance leader. For this song, they worked with an LA dance group called The Lab whom they've worked with in the past. A very young female from the group has choreographed for them in the past. Members of the Blue Devils marching band were used and a gospel choir for back ground vocals. Theirs a whole behind the scenes background documentary about the experience. And it's really sad when I think this was one of their last live promotions before Covid. Their album had just come out and they were in the midst of their US promo when everything came to a halt. They mention regretting not performing this live for fans yet. Quite a bit (months work) of practice and prep had occurred. The songs from this album would have headlined their tour that was due to begin last April. So sad.

[@CurleyMouse]

They girl who choregraphed this, was 19 it the time!!!

[@CurleyMouse]

...and great info!!!

[@rgn1197]

Jungkook, the youngest who sang the bridge is also the one doing the harmonizing and background vocals especially at the end. He really has a wide range

[@irenetalay1557]

Thank you for informing us bec im curious to know whose voice esp the harmony in the last part of the song which is so beautiful and amazing... Im so proud of Jks ability to harmonize and adlibs. He is so talented, his harmonization here is insane. So with his bridge.

Everybody was so excited about seeing this in concert, then BOOM ! The world shuts down and all concerts cancelled.

this is exactly what he needs to watch and the bangtanbomb for ON Grand Central because that would basically answer most of his questions

[@johannadiaz1133]

Yes !!!! you must watch that

[@Mariwil74]

Grand Central shuts down at 2am so they filmed this after. They filmed four takes, I think, and if you watch the clock you can see the edits.:D It's mainly only one take though.

[@ms.ross136]

I know you have committed on how steady their voices remain while they dance and so forth, Jungkook said that they practiced vocal while jogging on a tread mill to learn to steady their voices.

[@girlwithluv_and_ugh9975]

Lol. On featuring Sia, yeah, I will keep my opinions to myself 🤣🤣 Yes this was filmed in the zombie hours at Grand Central Terminal. I think this was the last time BTS were in the US before everything shut down.

[@JacobRestituto]

lol

[@mnj97]

Jungkook is the one who sang the bridge with the amazing vocals! 💜 Please react to “Jungkook is the Main Vocalist of BTS” by Ida S! It is a great behind the scenes look at his position and it shows his vocal responsibilities in the group. It’s very important for every Army to see! 😊💜💜

[@cjhernandez9927]

I hope you can check on the documentary film about this ON. You might be interested as it talks about the production of this song. You can find it in yt ON Commentary film: Dialogue

[@Isa06137]

5:32 the one is rapping is Jhope BTS dance leader he was a famous street dancer of his home town he learn choreography in some minutes and then help other members he also includes his on choreography it takes a week for them to learn dance but BTS is famous for their sync so it's takes a month for synchronization. He uploads his dance video sometimes with #hopeonthestreet

[@lightefilit]

That's not true. They only ever talked about that one part of DNA choreo which he memorized quickly from Jimin cause he missed the first practice. Usually Taehyung learns all moves faster, and both Jimin and J-Hope help others only sometimes if needed, they aren't actually teachers.

[@magaly1660]

They have a choreographer who has been with them since the beginning and J-hope(5:30) he is the main dancer he helps and puts in some flavor. They have worked with other choreographer from Korea and outside of Korea. We don't know exactly how much they practice but sometimes 10 hours a day. I know Jin(4:00) started a day earlier then the other members for this particular ON choreo. Besides that they post a lot of MV shooting sketches and performance on Bangtan TV if you want to really see what all goes into their craft

[@mpgisbtsarmybaefighting2838]

Jumping jacks lol 😆 they work with different choreographers plus they have an in-house choreographer, our talented Mr. Son who's been with them from the beginning.

[@meeeocsave6795]

Unforgetable Performance.. Ohh we miss them so much..performing infront of the ARMYs.. Coz they are so good

[@afternoontaee]

typically in kpop, groups will prepare for a couple months before dropping another album or single. within those few months is where they'll learn and practice their choreography, not only for the lead single, but also for at least half of the b-sides. that's a LOT of choreo. in BTS's case, they have an in-house choreographer, son sungdeuk, who has been with them since debut. j-hope also contributes to the choreography and helps lead practices. ON, in particular, was also co-choreographed by sienna lalau, who's part of 'the lab', the background dancers for this performance, based in LA. she also choreographed j-hope's collaboration with becky g, 'chicken noodle soup'. every member of BTS is involved in the production of their songs and work countless hours to make sure everything is perfect. they literally practice singing while jogging on the treadmill. idk about right now, but in their early days, they were working 16 hour days just practicing non-stop. it all paid off in the end though because look at them now.

[@carolgardens7294]

I saw this the day after it was performed,watching it on my phone before starting my day. I was expecting a performance with a crowd of onlookers. I was in awe and dove into videos and music clips of BTS for the first time. Due to a pandemic, I had loads of time to enjoy music and youtube videos and dancing with my young grandchildren. BTS quickly became a joyful part of my daily life and a boost to my happy energy. I am a grandmother from New York, who one day stood on a street corner to catch a glimpse of The Beatles when they first crossed the pond to perform in the U.S. Today, I am a fan of BTS and a few other Korean bands and I play their cd's EVERY day. There is a fun video of the drums being recorded for ON, in L.A. for the music video.

[@uglyneverstartwithibutalwa8754]

They perform *"IDOL" , I'M FINE, "HOME"* too in JIMMY FALLON, they perform twice the IDOL last 2019 and 2020 :) i hope you will check it THANK YOU ALWAYS

[@reamus9102]

You nailed it. They performed this at 3:00 in the morning

[@mamabearlovesbts6087]

This is one of my favorite songs by BTS, thank you for taking the time to react to it and for “educating” us on the different sounds and such.

[@lightefilit]

They usually have outside company choreographers create choreo. Then it's sent to their in-house performance director who shows and teaches them choreo. First BigHit will send a song, lyrics, explanation/concept and what they want from choreo, then it's back and forth between performance director and choreographer until they reach the desirable result. Only when it's completed, members will start to learn the choreography. However, the dance line (especially main dancers Jimin and J-Hope) would often suggest their own bits and pieces to improve choreo and performance. There were only a few songs, usually solo performances or special stages where members created and/or directed choreography themselves.

[@Mary-OT7]

The live stream was fun! Enjoyed this reaction!

[@JacobRestituto]

Thanks Mary!

[@wendythomas9701]

All members have a great deal to do with writing, creating and producing their songs with some main staff members that help them.

There is a behind the scenes of this performance also a making of the song with the UCLA band and other musicians who they have worked with before. Its really cool!!

well if BTS wanted they can rent this place it believe me or not they rent a whole shopping mall just for playing hide and seek and games like that. American talk show caption are really great singing in korean,rapping in korean, i mean boy you really think i need caption to understand english part.

yes it's tru we all know they playing whole mall hide and seek 💜

[@anaruthrmz]

I was lucky and found bts when they debuted in 2013 (I got into kpop in high school around 2010) and they were one of the very few groups at the time who had a lot of "say" in all of their production from music, producing, lyrics, choreo, themes literally everything. They do work with one "head" choreographer named Son Sungdeuk who's been with them since the beginning but J-Hope is the one who really goes into helping choreograph the songs along with V and Jungkook and Jimin as well. J-Hope was a well known street dancer prior to joining BTS and Jimin studied Contemporary dance in an arts high school before and during training to be with BTS.

[@Hotshortie]

It's all sad for me. MAP OF SOUL 7 is my favorite Album and that's hard to say with BTS cause all their albums are way above the norm. This album was released but because of Covid, it was stopped in it's tracks. I know many people don't look at the lyrics but this whole album had something to say, it's just sad that it didn't get it chance.

[@behumble8818]

The drums are the "Blue Devils" Drumline of UCLA .and also a Gospel choir from New Orleans on the track

[@kathikai2000]

Jimmy spent his money well! Fun Fact: The drums and snares, cymbals and background choir, are all from UCLA! You mentioned the gas mask....if you watch the MV, not the dance one, it kind of has a Dystopian feel to it!

[@swarnaparnibiswas5038]

*Sings in Korean* is the most helpful subtitle I've ever seen.

[@JacobRestituto]

Thanks

[@taptaphello123]

I know what you mean, it's frustrating. Although let's remember that those captions are meant for those who are not able to catch the words (hearing loss etc)not for translations. With BTS being so international and there are more crossovers in movies etc, hopefully this will change.

[@plovesmy]

they take a few days to learn the dances, the dance leader (j hope) normally take just hours to learn, he is a dance machine 😂. And they have a coreographer who are with them since before they debut (2011/2013)

[@reneezemlock7880]

It depends on the choreo. This one was choreographed by Sienna Lalau from The Lab dance crew out of LA. If you watch the Kinnetic Manifesto MV for this, she's the one in the middle that they zoom in on. They partially learned this through footage, then went to LA to film and practiced for about a week, I think is what they said, then they filmed it in one day. They did have in ears for this and so did the dancers so they could keep on beat.

[@athelas5305]

Yea, Sienna Lalau is amazingly talented for one so young. She's done choreo for a number of Kpop groups including Blackpink and Stray Kids.

[@reneezemlock7880]

@@athelas5305 Treasure, as well. She also did the choreo for Dionysus. :)

[@indigodragon0613]

I'm not sure how long it takes their main choreographer to come up with the choreo (although ON was choreographer by a girl from Cali), but I know it takes them anywhere from a week to several weeks to learn it all. They practice for months before revealing it. Hobi, one of the rappers, is the dance leader, so he's in charge of keeping their choreo clean and together in the group. He also can add or edit choreo as needed.

[@djlu3011]

[@NightingaleFilms100]

Suga gives a great definition of "K-Pop" at the Grammy Museum Interview. "rather than defining K-Pop as a genre, a better approach would be "integrated content". K-Pop includes not just the music, but the clothes, the make-up, the choreography. All these elements, I think, sort of amalgamate together in a visual and auditory content package, that I think sets it apart from other music or maybe other genres." at 20:45 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pn3boKRtosimnZI
