I have no words! This is SPECTACULAR. Jk is a giant superstar. Without losing his own identity and style as an artist, he gave us a worthy and powerful tribute to Michael Jackson! Bravo Jk! Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!

[@carriekibner4340]

JK & the entire BTS members don't get the respect and acknowledgement they so deserve. I love JK and all of BTS!

[@Shawnthedon]

They need more love! They have done nothing but impress with every song I react to!

@@Shawnthedon Listen to V’s Slow Dancing and you’ll doubt if they’re really bandmates. So different.

[@Shawnthedon]

I'll definitely check it out!

This song is so fire 😆😆💜 He’s just making us so proud 😍

Already listened to this song like 5 times since posting this reaction 😅

JK is really superstar right now. So proud of him. Congratzz JK.

This song is incredible, both the choreography, the setting, the costumes and the place, it is simply art. Jungkook is in his best era 🔥💥

[@MariaChavez-ey5sr]

This song is retro perfection.

[@Shawnthedon]

Absolutely phenomenal song!

@@Shawnthedon Shawnthedon, I've enjoyed your reactions, but you have so much room to make the BTS video screen quite a bit larger (raising it up a bit is good, too) and the CC larger and more opaque so the text can be read. I'm surprised that so many content creators don't seem to realize that if we pause to catch up to the lyrics, that having the screens down in the bottom has the text covered by the paused progress line, time, volume, settings and other icons.

[@hellorita24711]

Also the interpolation of him singing "all night long,we rock to this" are two songs. Warren G's "Regulate" and Michael McDonald's "I Keep Forgettin'". Third one of him singing the title comes from Hall&Oates "Maneater". Listen to those songs I tell you!

[@staceymaeb]

This song is a tribute to MJ. Nice reaction btw

[@Shawnthedon]

A beautiful tribute. And thank you!

MJ INSPIRED INDEED... i love JUNGKOOK JACKSON!!! THIS IS A MASTERPIECE... thank you enjoyed your reactions💜💜💜

[@Shawnthedon]

Jungkook Jackson. I love it!

[@annwashington471]

Yes , he paid homage to michael but this still had jk's flavor in it. As a woman I agree sadly some womens expectations are so low it's ridiculous.

[@Shawnthedon]

I love that he pays homage while also being him. Such a great song!

Loved your reaction! Subscribed hoping for more. He relased his solo album at the same time this mv came out so you might want to check it out. It is called Golden--you can find it on all platforms. Thanks!

[@Shawnthedon]

I'll definitely check it out! I'm hoping to react to some more of his stuff asap!

[@Jolie-82]

Absolutely loved your reaction Shawn! I agree that JK sounded just like Michael Jackson in this video. When I first saw this, it just blew me away! His dance moves were eerily similar to MJ. It was like Michael's spirit took control of JK & was performing through him. I also agree that this amazing song should win song & video Love easily win on any award show. With his jaw dropping dance skills, & his captivating, almost supernatural falsetto voice, I don't see how any other artist can compete. Standing Next to You is a total masterpiece!

[@blueberry__97]

I'm glad your review isn't fake and that you'll enjoy the song, thank you

This has to win a grammy I don't care

you're thinking of Michael Jackson's "Off The Wall" era.

I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THIS SONG!

[@kieferseanvelasco5402]

MJ that iiiis!

[@vanessaseymour2634]

I've noticed that many of these Korean performers pay homage to R & B acts.

[@Kookiepookie2025]

Kpop as a whole is clearly inspired by mj (dancing and singing at the same time for example and makeup )

[@Shawnthedon]

I love that they do that!

[@528sunchaser]

I'd be shocked if this were not up for SOTY and AOTY. The only things he has going against him are the bias of the Grammys and the fact that he came from the world of KPop. This is obviously NOT KPop, but that doesn't mean it won't still be held against him. The thing he has working for him is it's out early enough that the world may overtake the bias because the songs and the album are so huge. Look how long it took for the Grammys to even consider giving BTS a stage. Then go look at the BTS MMA 2019 performance, which to me was the most spectacular, best live performance of all time, regardless of language or genre.

[@ikhwanchin2998]

[@sarasumayya3839]

Great reaction

[@desmawalker556]

I've gotta throw this out here.... But, I've heard this SONG BEFORE, at least the melody/rhythm. I'm 53 yrs old, and there's and old R & B/Disco song from back in the day (late 70's or early 80's) that's got this EXACT music. The last time that I heard this "sample" was from Notorious B.I.G. "Biggie Smalls" in I LOVE THE DOUGH. I can't remember the name of the ORIGINAL SONG ( I wanna go out on a limb and say it's Rene & Angela singing the song, But I'm NOT SURE 🤷🤔). I just wanted to let you know that this Music/Melody AIN'T NEW.... IT'S FROM A SONG BACK IN THE DAY. 👍🙂😀

[@evelynnatalia8480]

sounds like - Burns the disco out - MJ song

[@deblibra6884]

It's about ARMY. The girl represents ARMY. OG's know this.

[@addison5938]

It's so funny, kind of, that everyone reacting mentions the clear homage to MJ. All of your stating the obvious. The funny part is everyone seems to think they're the only ones who've noticed and feel the need to tell everyone. Not only is that clear to everyone but HYBE actually released info acknowledging the nod or homage to Michael Jackson. I'm a bit perplexed that everyone seems so surprised by this.

[@ericweinman9447]

I don't think JK released this track so commenters could have the opportunity to throw snark at reactors. Let people enjoy the song each in their own ways without experiencing negativity for not meeting your standards. So what if a bunch of people get excited as they think they have realized something special. Please don't get satisfaction by being a party pooper. ARMY is better than that.

[@addison5938]

@@ericweinman9447 first off I started my comment by making sure it was clear that I simply found it amusing. In fact it was simply a tongue in cheek comment. I wasn't being snarky. I didn't say I didn't enjoy his reaction. I didn't say anything about it not meeting my standards, whatever you meant by that, perhaps you can explain to me what my standards are since you seem to know. I didn't poop on anybody's party. I'm a long time BTS stan and I will support them and ARMY with every fiber of my being. Thanks for your opinion on the matter. I'm sorry you took this so seriously that you felt you had to make an issue of it. 💜💜

[@ericweinman9447]

​@@addison5938 I am sure you are great ARMY but if you reread the comment from the perspective of a newbie it may read a bit differently than you intended. My hope is to bring as many decent people on the BTS train as possible. Sometimes newbies perceive ARMY as a bit coarse and are confused as to why. I love your commitment to BTS. Borahae. Just we all, me included, need sensitivity so as to not push newbies away. Remember when Jungkook finally showed his sleeve. We all knew he was hiding a lot of tattoos. We marveled at the sight. Probably not that different than having a jaw drop and saying Michael Jackson for a newbie who hasn't heard past homages. At any rate, all the best. I have about 8 years of BTS under my belt, so it is always good to hear from another stan.

Jungkook pays MJ homage... it doesn't diminish MJ or JK. They are the GOLD standard, not these people complaining about a recognizable adoration JK has for MJ, all the way to the jacket.💜💜
