V ‘FRI(END)S’ Official MV Reaction

[@marinaglukhman9487]

Guys! Have you really never been in a situation where everyone is doing great in love, but you are alone? this is what happens to V, in the next part of the song the situation changes 180 degrees. But The “trick” is that both are just dreams. This is where the irony of the last scene comes from. a very ironic song. MVI with unparalleled humor. life experiences are intricately presented. it reminded me of the French film "Amelie"

[@I_LOVE_NMIXX.ITZY.Red_Velvet_2]

V is back

[@Azlanta]

an intimacy coordinator is more about making sure no actors are pushed to do things in intimate scenes that they don't fully consent to/feel comfortable with, just because unfortunately that's been the case in the film industry for so long. the coordinator is like the 3rd party mediator.

[@JimGames]

Ohhh that makes sense. I thought she was just an expert on intimacy

[@aleen1260]

I’m obsessed with this song ❤

[@mala-dd8fg]

Havent seen you in a year? Right. Had some great reactions i remember. Nice to see you back for V. Parentheses those things are called😅. Thanks for being here for V and BTS. Nice reaction.

[@RiotGrrrl10]

I'm obsessed with Fri(end)s. It's not exactly like Layover, but I can always trust V's taste in music. Also, I loved the video, it's querky and has a dark sense of humor.

[@robwebnoid5763]

Yep, at the ending, as you guessed ... Love Yourself ... the message that BTS has always been proselytizing, because you can separate from another human being after falling OUT of love, just as witnessed in the MV, & the feelings can get horrible afterwards, but you can never separate from yourself for life, so you better get comfy. 03/15/24

[@JimGames]

Interesting. Thanks for the clarification.

[@sybelj8116]

Jim! KZbin! V! So good to see you, even though V insists on dying all the time. As long as BTS keeps up their content, we will keep meeting like this. 🙂

[@mandupicante9344]

okay so here's the thing. I found your channel recently (stumbled across your Taylor Swift reputation album reaction) and joined patreon. I can not express the joy I felt when I realized you were also into BTS, I was beyond excited to hear your thoughts on their songs throughout different.. dare I say eras?

[@JimGames]

Thats awesome! Be sure to check out the BTS section on Patreon. I have over 300 videos 😳

[@robwebnoid5763]

Yep, & Jim has also already gone through the entire Rise of Bangtan series (by Aneesa) awhile ago. However, I would wish that Jim can go do a deep dive some more into Seo Taiji, as everyone knows there is no BTS & no KPop without Taiji. :)

[@mirvale87]

​@@robwebnoid5763 You need to make him a curated seo taiji stream and he'll make time to do it. That's what we did for Seventeen and Astro, among other acts.

[@MariaChavez-ey5sr]

Jim is a fantastic reactor and for musical analysis. He really went through it all!

[@JimGames]

@MariaChavez-ey5sr this made my day! Thank you 😊

[@madmaddox1139]

I love how you seem to know all the ish abt the military enlistment of the members. Some people seem to avoid touching that topic to not offend other people. Also it is nice that you encourage other armys to stream for Tae and appreciate his efforts to provide content and projs for us even while he's gone. He worked so hard before enlisting. But kudos to you Jim. Love your reactions always.. Borahae

It’s a fun song! He’s cheeky and quirky saying love yourself.

[@chisays9936]

Well simply, life goes on and friends and love ones could come and go too (however we see "me or others in" relationships) - end of the day there is yourself who you have to deal with, love yourself...😁💜. Sorry my english and greetings from the north edge of Europe

[@lydia7090]

i'm surprised you thought the song was gonna be like "layover". layover was an album so all the songs were gonna have a similar sound. but v's songs are always different from each other. like his ost's sound different from layover and different from his bts solo songs. he's always making different kinds of music. as he should!

[@bhavna7707]

ahhh missed ur reacions

[@zeinaaaaaa7468]

haha i love your confusion as always jim, those things are called () brackets/parentheses, apparently this song was made before layover but it didnt fit the album so he released it as a gift after enlisting, i completely agree with his call!

[@Umla80]

Thanks for uploading your reaction 💜 I love the song I dont know if its just me but it gives me Doowoop vibes not sure if its the tempo?, instruments? I just know it gives me those vibes 🤷‍♀️💜

[@JimGames]

Yes it sounds classic already. Unfortunately I’m going to miss BTS Sunday this week so I had to do a stand alone video for this.

[@marinal.]

the start of the song gives me oldie vibes too

[@Umla80]

awh pity BTS Sunday is always a treat but sometimes life happens, im glad you could release it like this💜@@JimGames

[@Umla80]

yeh i feel the instrumental portion of the song has this 50s-60s sway/vibe@@marinal.

[@RS-oy6bz]

Isn't it good if singers don't bring the same thing to the table with every song? That's what BTS is specialists in.

[@alinakanda5714]

exciting!

[@naezyjj]

bro I remember your first BTS reaction, idk how it fell apart but I used to join on twitch too lol I just came across a video from you after so long, hope you are doing well!

[@JimGames]

Yeah I’m doing well I got RMs latest album on repeat and I less than two weeks Jin’s back so I’m pumped. Hope you are doing well.

[@naezyjj]

@@JimGames he a pro rider woohohoho ahahahah I'm glad! Can't believe we are already welcoming seokjin back honestly. Also, Festa is here, can't wait for the Bangbangcon on 8th. Hope you enjoy it too!

[@FarhanaK]

Ah Jim! A true army response "Why are they always killing V?" Seriously he keeps dying in mvs!

[@miriamgallegos410]

Mejor solo que mal acompañado😂e😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤

[@deborahroadnight5506]

Please watch the live version, from W Korea. They are back 2025

[@airyfairy2396]

Haven't heard from you in a while. I hope everything is okay with you 💜💜

[@kimmyers3389]

This song is sooo good without the MV, to be honest-just for the clear vocals (which are awesome), The MV is nuts but cool-my takeaway is love yourself, ha, ha!

[@Nezuko20234]

❤❤

[@iamsnehanair]

My Take : V is saying death is inevitable...u are going to die some day..might as well take a chance of love with a friend you have been in love with for so long...u die happy..also in end u are left with yourself

[@ssshrrr421]

Fri(end)s Did u call those half circles in the beginning of the video? Those r Brackets!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@JimGames]

I prefer half-circles

[@minervagonzalez8842]

Parenthesis?

[@marinal.]

yep that is the correct term@@minervagonzalez8842

[@marinal.]

Parenthesis u mean pls use correct terminology, lol.

[@marinal.]

@@JimGames Parenthesis that is the correct word. i blank on these sometimes.

Lgbt couples

[@lealarsen2017]

i love the song and v but the mv is a bit to much with the making out scenes. i dont get why american labels feel the need to ALWAYS use that element. and even if there is zero talk about anything sexual there this is still a woman in the video, a love interest. like for all Jk´s MV´s i mean the lyrics from latto and jack was to much but hey we still love jk, and then the standing next to you came out and it was really good but still they just needed to add this woman who had no meaning to the song. she was just there she didn´t look like a girl he was talking about just a random girl or something, idk her role in that mv. whenever it´s a mv produced in korea there is no woman at all witch also make no sense. i just wish it would be more natural and not like a recipe, that there needs to be a female in the mv. for this mv it made sense there would be a love interest so the girl is okay but the insane makeout scenes was to much. Hybe america need to think about that these mv needs to be able to be shown in all asia. and many countries would ban this mv.

[@Sunset553]

Hi, I’m just western, but I try to see things from a wider perspective. I try to understand what the west looks like from outside. In JK Standing next to You, it’s in the title and lyrics that there is a partner who would be standing next to him. Think of it this way, why would they leave the “You” out of the video. Same with Tae’s new song, he’s talking to a friend saying we feel more than that, let’s be more than friends. What’s wrong with acting out the situation in the song? The implication is that the beyond friendship relationship is a sexual relationship, otherwise it would still be friendship. (He does say he would rather be in her bed.) If you’re just talking about Tae’s illustration of a relationship, by having an actress playing the role of a girlfriend, there is only the hint of sex because they are together. To address your concern, though, we have an old marketing slogan in the US: “Sex sells”. The role of the woman in some videos where she isn’t part of the plot, is so people will watch. The point of getting more people to watch is to make more money. For any confusion about the west or American products, the answer is often (always) money. Making money and portraying couples doesn’t bother the consumers of popular culture in the West. Good point about how it will show in Asia. Tae’s video is age rated to 15 years old. Hybe might have different versions of the videos for distribution in Asia. I hope Hybe is not just creating western style videos, but it would be great if the videos didn’t offend our Asian customers. Maybe I just said everything you already know. Please explain more if I’m not understanding , if you want.
