Metal Vocalist Reacts to - BTS - SERENDIPITY / DNA / MIC DROP 2017 MVs Part 2

[@glossaria2]

Not saying that fetus Jimin was not also adorable, but I feel like 2016 (specifically, BS&T) was a turning point in the MVs. We start to see them express their individuality more, and the Jimin Effect kicks in HARD.

[@z0feya]

Mmmhmmm for me that was HYYH… that moment in the Run MV where he stepped into the bathroom and fluffed his hair… I was like, oh damn he’s like, really beautiful 😂

[@katielovett4593]

right?! Serendipity is one of my faves 😭 BS&T was the one that sealed him as my bias - but today I was appreciating not only his vocals, but it's always a good day when we get a glimpse of Jimin's shoulder and I saw it in DNA and Mic Drop🤭Thank you Jimin for sharing your beauty with us armys haha💜

[@mandeefarley1399]

Fetus Jimin! 🤣🤣🤣

[@smokimsprite]

I mean, Jimin's voice is so different from everything I've heard. Serendipity is one of my favorite BTS solos. I love it so much I learned how to perfectly sing it and dance. Its too beautiful. When I looked up the meaning of Serendipity I felt in love even more! woaaah don't forget Namjoon and Bang PD writing the beautiful lyrics. I feel like I'm in a beautiful daydream when Im listening to it on my headphones.

[@somolmean3980]

Yeah John , I love Jimin’s runs in Serendipity too!! 💜

[@crazyoldgrandma6935]

Catch the Road To D-Day with Suga if you haven't already as Steve Aioki has a shine to BTS in his house!!! That part was so funny. Three of the best songs and I absolutely love "Mic Drop". DNA was my granddaughters favorite and she would go around their house whistling it. It was the first time she tried to tell me who was who and would laugh every time I got it wrong. She had already been watching for years but for a newcomer it almost made me just give up trying to figure out who was who. Now it's like what do you mean it's hard to tell them apart..lol. They just keep getting better!! Imagine what 2025 will bring, can't wait to find out!!!

[@huntressmma1822]

I too have a shrine to BTS in my house, especially as they go into the military. Glad I'm not the only one.😂 💙💜💜💜💜💜💜🐳♾

[@SonjaHanson1]

I love this series you are doing! And Jimin’s face in DNA!!! I hear ya😝

[@sarab.simpkins1969]

As a newbie, the first time I could recognize each member was during the 64th Grammy Awards when they performed Butter with their hair slicked back off their faces. I watched it over and over -- such a fabulous performance -- and ever after I was able to tell them apart.

[@marinal.]

sweet. i could tell them apart after a week in 2019.

[@anitralarae_mahjacat]

I am Butter Era Baby ARMY. As a Face Blind person, I had to research their 1k Track Suits to start differentiating them... thus down the tokki hole I fell 💜

[@candicesmith-mackenzie6303]

I wish I was closer, I would totally dance with you. I had a hard time with V and JK in the beginning, then JK became my ultimate bias. I can spot him dancing anywhere. 😂 😘💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🫰🏻

[@boredkueen8784]

The best thing about watching their mvs in chronological order is seeing each member develop their individuality, both musically and aesthetically.. A lot of kpop groups dont get to do this unfortunately so its refreshing

[@somolmean3980]

Lol, I love the wavy hair Jimin too 😝

[@jenniferwhite7386]

As a newbie I went through the exact same thing....I had a hard time trying to recognize the members.....but after time I was able to recognize them from the back or different angles without seeing their faces....i believe alot of ARMY go through it as well.....#OT7

[@glossaria2]

YES. I have a VERY hard time remembering faces & names, even with people I meet in person. With the somewhat weird exceptions of RM and Jin (I honestly don't know WHY my brain could pick them out so easily, but not the others) I was hopelessly lost with the Tannies for, like, a month. It didn't help that I wasn't watching things sequentially, and it took me an EMBARRASSINGLY long time to realize their hair colors were different in almost every MV I watched. John, I had *charts.* It was so sad.

[@katielovett4593]

I feel this so much - I also def picked out RM first - he was like my anchor in every MV as the place to start figuring out who was who 😅 I also watched things randomly and not in order- I had no idea what I was doing I just knew I needed more 😅 lol why didn't I think of a chart? that's genious

[@glossaria2]

@@katielovett4593 Except they didn't work at first, because I'd watch Danger and be like, OK, "red hair=SUGA," but then I'd watch Mic Drop and be "wait... what? that's J-Hope? What did I do wroooong?" 😭 I had PAGES of that nonsense 🤣

[@jovankariveroi513]

I’m loving this journey. Thanks John!!! Please take care of your voice. Take a spoonful of honey before you go to bed. I was always able to pick out RM and J-Hope right away. I had the most trouble between JK and Jin

[@amandacartwright5324]

Steve Aoki loved BTS and this collab so much him and Designer went and got a microphone tattoo to remember this collaboration 🎤🎤🎤

[@crazyoldgrandma6935]

That's why you pack the throat lozenges for the concerts, but mine for Agust D never made it out of my bag so as long as you're not sick and just had a great time it's all worth it!!

[@normacruz6345]

At first when I didn't know BTS, I used to confuse V & Jungkook. BTS is a group of very beautiful & wonderful Men! I love them all!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@duchessebibi692]

Same for me. 😊💜

[@suzettedezilwa7486]

Thankyou John. I'm staggered at the number if songs they came out with since their inception. I have started look up who writes their songs and produces them. The way you are doing this year by year and 3 at a time is great. TOODLES😂

[@diahrizqi397]

The first 2 weeks I became an Army, I had a hard time differentiating between suga and jhope😭😂

[@shireenedoo1978]

Same🤭

[@mplahke]

I couldn't recognize Jhope until I realized that he had apple cheeks and a pert little nose. Now I think his elegant profile is one of his best features.

[@marinal.]

i hear this often. I don't get it their bone structure is so different. 0.o lol

[@diahrizqi397]

@@marinal. I think its because i watched older content randomly rather watched in order, so its messed up in my memory

[@marinal.]

[@AbyssEnthusiast]

Mic Drop is THE song that made me fall into a rabbit hole. Aside from the complete badass-ery, the song structure and melodies are so unlike anything I've ever heard before. Not to mention the choreography!

[@iambangtangirl]

Hell yeah I was soo frustrated & angry at myself for not differentiating the members at the start because I was already a fan of their songs still couldn't recognise their faces It took alot of time.. Now I think how could I be so stupid for not remembering their faces they are so distinctive 😅

[@thienasantos9236]

Coisa mais linda e perfeita é o vocal do jimin🥲💜🎶

[@CaribbeanLady77]

Same, though for me it was Dynamite that started my descent into the BTS rabbit hole! With their different hair colours in their comebacks it took me, maybe a day or 2 to figure out who’s who! And that was by watching it over and over and over until I was about to discern the different singing/rapping voices of the boys! I am quite happy that I didn’t get discouraged as they have become my happy place! 😁 BTW, I enjoy watching your videos, you exude a certain joie de vivre! Until the next time! 👋🏽

[@SAKA-xf3wu]

I saw DNA in the title and I feel like I just aged a whole decade (I'm a 2014 army but DNA felt like it was only a couple years ago sometimes)

[@marinal.]

aww, hugs. I feel like that with many songs and i am only a 2019 army. Ty for all ur support of the guys all these years. Hugs.

[@TehMomo_]

9:14 there are so many match cuts in this MV and every one goes hard.

[@notcaseykasem5702]

I legit cackled to myself when Crow walked by and you said "dog butt!" Such a John thing to do 😂 I hope you had so much fun at the concert, but drink some good tea anyway!!

[@notcaseykasem5702]

10:15 seconds in... dog butt remains iconic 😅

[@katielovett4593]

A few thoughts, I think the thing I love the most about DNA is how colourful it is! 😍blows me away every time I see it - ALSO I made myself a page a day BTS calendar for my desk at work and today's picture was a still from the DNA MV - clearly it was fate!! For real, I don't know about you guys but when I was new army the struggle to recognise them when they changed their look so much was real so I definitely feel you there John. Lastly I just wanted to say you can tell when someone is true army - watching the MV's without the subtitles and talking about how great the lyrics to the songs are haha 😂

[@shireenedoo1978]

I love these chronological videos you are doing very much👍 .. have you seen Jimin's live performance of Serendipity .. its fantastic🥰🥰🥰💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@LPnerd]

I'd like a count of how babies were conceived to this song.

[@IleanaMarreroCastro]

I love your videos and seen your journey of becoming a ARMY yourself. This is the best way to see how BTS has getting better and better over the year, I'm enjoying very much this chronologic videos. Thank You and keep working hard and stay healthy. 🙂Sending a big hug from Puerto Rico.

[@marinal.]

Hi I am back. Good reaction, ty. Love Serendipity! It's a lovely song. Jimin ult bias, Suga wrecker, OT7 here. =0p It's such a peaceful song. Makes me soft. He is an angel. Love his dancing too. Some army actually think the MV is connected to the BU. So u might have to come back to it when u go down that rabbit hole. =0] You nice keep going. =0) stay safe. -- 2019 ARMY NY USA 💜 Are calico cats rare? Because calico cats are so rare (especially male calico cats) they're considered a good luck charm all over the world. Sariel said on 10/13/22 Story progression across the Love Yourself series: Serendipity (Jimin) - discovering / falling in love Euphoria (JK)- being madly in love, irrationality Singularity (V) - the love unravels, followed by heartbreak Epiphany (Jin) - realizing that the one you should love is you Rania Bhasin said on 12/27/22 Singularity, Serendipity, Epiphany and Euphoria are all written to coexist together and explaining different parts/stages of relationships (not necessarily just with a significant other etc but also with friendships, family and oneself). They are part of the Love Yourself series which is broken up into 3 different albums (serendipity is on “HER”, singularity is on “TEAR” euphoria and epiphany on “ANSWER”) hence why the vibes can be seen as continuous or similar in some aspects musically. Each has its own MV to accompany it - you’ve now reacted too all of them if I’m not mistaken, and as you’ve seen they are by the vocal line ☺ @gaileth8761 said on 5/23/23 It's not penicillin, but penicillium, which is the blue mould that is used to create penicillin. Fun facts: This was Jimin's intro song, which is why it's so short, but ARMYs loved it so much, that RM wrote an extended, full length version. Also, each album has an intro and outro song... these are usually solo songs, and the members each get to perform them by rotation. @its_caraina4943 said on 5/23/23 yeah "Serendipity" means "a development of events by chance in a happy/beneficial way". Penicillin was discovered by accident when a scientist decided to test this blue mold that grew on his petri dish. So the song is about fate and how these chance encounters brought us together. @minsolarobinbbstm2a834 said on 5/23/23 Remember when the song Serendipity was released, it was trending and one of the songs that has many achievements until now. Serendipity Intro was the Most viewed Kpop Solo MV in the First 24 hrs back in 2017 with 7.2M views & 1M Likes 💃“Serendipity” became the first music video of a BTS solo song to surpass 100 million views, and is currently at the 135 million view mark. In the first twenty-four hours of its release, the music video garnered over seven million views and over one million likes. Additionally, as of June 11, the song has surpassed 150 million streams on Spotify, the world’s largest music streaming platform. This makes “Serendipity” the ninth most-streamed BTS song on Spotify💜💜💜 Good reaction(DNA), ty. Yes, JK did the whistle for it. They mentioned it somewhere interview or behind the scenes i can't remember were. Sorry. This one is more pop compared to their previous songs. This song got them noticed more in USA! They got invited to interviews here and they performed this one here as well. Hope u watch all the live stages. DNA is a bop for sure. U should check out the dance practice u can get to see the whole choreo there. They are fab!!! By the way their DNA chain dance move was used by another dance crew in World of Dance. When I saw this MV i was blown away. 0.0 i was like wait wait i know that move, lol. Another reactor thought this song was not deep. But their love for Army is dang deep to us army. Like they saying they are our soulmates and they are each other soulmates!!! Gosh i can't i am mush! They so sweet! We just got a demo version of this song on their new anthology album Proof it's sung by one of the members and i hear it's very different than this one. I am excited to hear it. They slay in any genre. To me it's we are all connected by DNA. That army and BTS are connected. It's a beautiful thing this bond. DNA camera work was reused in Suga's Shadow and in JHopes More MVs. Jhope is the one who learns the choreo in minutes while the others take hours. After a week i could tell who was who. Their facial structure is different. I am into details. i am also an artist. =0p No issues. I ignored the hair color and style. flyushkifly said on 10/?/22 You know how there is some controversy around their 3 English songs and how western-targeted they are? Believe it or not, DNA was the first that stood out as targeted to appeal to the western market. They debuted it live at the 2017 AMAs and it had a mixed reception with ARMY's. It's so weird to look back at that time! Good reaction(MIC DROP). ty. Mic Drop: It's a slap in the face for their haters by saying they're at a point where it doesn't matter what you say because your words don't matter anymore. It's also a flex song by pointing out how many trophies they have because at this point they'd need a U-Haul to get them all. Just for an example, in Korea there are weekly music shows by various stations and the winner gets a trophy. Dynamite has 36 (I think) award show wins and that's without any promotion on their end. Fun fact: Mic Drop was inspired by President Obama's mic drop when he left office. =0] Never saw that live very cool. But I know about the dance break they added. There is a practice video for that. And they have performed this song with the new choreo for a while now. I saw another live with it. It is a perfect addition to the original choreo though they just made it harder as usual. =0p So glad u loved this song like I do. Imajin all the purple said on 2/17/22 - Fun fact: When Suga drops the mic live it's an extra fake mic and Jin taps his mic for the sound. 🤭 - This is from the famously fandom-nicknamed "Dior performance". Their outfits were specially created for each of them for this tour by one of Dior's youngest, hippest designers, Kim Jones who really likes them. - I can't wait for you to dive further into the rap line... Mic Drop is sort of the 5th Cypher which is why they say "the last farewell". They were just done with addressing the haters. 😏😎 - The Dior Performance of Outro: Tear is a rap line must. The song is from when they thought about disbanding and their emotions really show. 💔

[@RachelSantiago816]

9:27 Jimin is my bias, so, yes, I LOVE when he makes that face!!!

[@karen4624]

I watched a video in my early days to help tell them apart. It went over the facial characteristics of eahcc membe andd that helped a lot.I did still have some issues in early daysl Now, I can guess the era by their hair color. And Jimin does that run while dancing also. They are amazing. 'There isn't a video, but there is a LA remix for DNA, that is very rock heavy, I listen to that version a lot. But this version is still pretty fly.RM looks so cool when he enters on Mic Drop.

[@mandeefarley1399]

OMG I was so confused for a while. 😂 My friends introduced them through their English songs first, then bangers from the past. Jimin’s beauty immediately jumped out at me, so he was the first I learned. Then RM swooped in and I was like, “Who is THAT?!” 😂 Rap line was easiest for me to learn. Vocal line took me forever…well, except for Jimin. 😜 Now, I can recognize them by their eyes or mouths alone. 🤣

[@sandys1890]

I feel getting to know them really increases your enjoyment .

I heard Serendiptiy for the first time today and I love the song along with both DNA and MIC DROP. I've recently discovered a demo version of DNA sung by J-hope to find on the physical album of Proof. And you might check out the video by Crush "Rush Hour" if you haven't because the is a slight hint to Mic Drop in there choreography wise 🙂

[@meilaw2877]

U gotta check out jimin's live performance of Serendipity...he's a incredible dancer in that

[@sybelj8116]

Ah, Mic Drop. The song (SNL version) that made me an ARMY. Never get tired of it. I had such a hard time learning who was who. I knew RM right away, because I recognized him, almost like I had met him somewhere. Of course, I hadn't. Next was Jimin. Always mixed up JK & V, then J Hope & SUGA. That meant that the odd man out was Jin. I could never figure him out. I think it took me over a month to know them, but now it's hard to remember why I couldn't tell them apart!

[@smokimsprite]

7:02 Absolutely. I feel like every army, at least westerns, needed some time to differenciate them. But in a few months consuming their work and content you can recognize them even from the back of the head and tell from which era and year is the photo ps: i dont think they changed their hair so often, they usually change their hair style twice a year because of new era or promo. New armys from after 2020 are overwhelmed by the amount of content they have, since they are active from 10 years. I'm with you, in short time you will be able to tell them apart very easily haha

[@JoSedunary]

Hey John... always good to spend time with you - on the recognition thing / hair styles/colours.. I think a lot of us kind of 'grew up ' with BTS from pre-debut... through the vlives/ Bangtan bombs/festas/their debut features etc... so we got to see them change as it happened... but for those who got to know the group after they began to alter their image, it would definitely have been difficult to keep up with them... every video was different... so I get it.. and you did really well to get them sorted as quickly as you have... 💜Borahae💜

[@heathernile4700]

The absolute only issue that i just noticed is that Suga's hair keeps going between silver and blue. 😂 but i love it anyways. It is little mistakes that helps to remember that BTS is real and human. Imperfections making them perfect.💜🇺🇲💜

[@duchessebibi692]

My first encounter with BTS was Mic Drop MV. I noticed Suga (for me he was badass and pretty), RM (for me he was badass and fierce) and JK( for me he was pretty) at the end of the MV too. Then I watched Boy With Love and I was lost : too much hairs color and a completely different style. I recognized Rm and Suga. I was definitely hooked by Suga. A long time after, I watched On and I recognized easily RM and Suga. I saw V (I thought that he was very handsome) and I thought he was the pretty boy at the end of Mic Drop (in fact Jungkook). I was confused between V and Jungkook. I didn’t remember J-Hope, and Jin’s names. I noticed Jimin with On. It was hard for me bacause I don’t have the memory of faces and names. I finally was able to recognize them because of videos like Carpool karaoke which show their personalities. 😊💜
