Korean guys react to BgA - Dong Saya Dae [Eng Sub]

I recorded the whole sound so my friend's voice and mine are difficult to hear. Sorry for that. I'll fix it when I do next record.
And please write down in the comment about what you guys want me to react.

[@abthurd]

I have to appreciate the fact that they totally understand what PARODY means and enjoying the video itself as something not to be taken seriously lol

[@HazwanFaiz]

yeah some koreans could not understand what parody means for LOL

[@chewsday5760]

yea I agree

[@ThatPurpleGirl81]

Hazwan Faiz Ik that surprise me bc K-pop stars do parodies themselves like of Korean soap operas.

[@mirakabana7987]

abthurd For Those Wondering About Members Ryan Higa - (Japanese-American) comedian , actual dancer Jun Sung Ahn - (Korean) actual K-Star, famous violinist Justin Chon - (mixed, Korean/Chinese?) actor David Choi - (Korean) actual singer and producer Philip Wang - (mixed) comedian

[@DakFortheWin]

Complex Panda None of them are mixed. Justin Chon is Korean-American while Phillip Wang is Chinese-American

[@mvc1412]

I love to watch Koreans reacting to this because the lyrics are ridiculous and they all go "wtf is this" but in the end all of them, somehow, like it, lol.

[@wonshikie8153]

Yeah, the point of the song is that people who don't speak Korean could easily misunderstand the lyrics and if you don't speak Korean and you don't have subtitles, then they could be saying anything and you wouldn't know. You would think its a good song from the music. Its a really clever concept!

[@NomSauce]

I mean they made the subs themselves. I think the start was probably something that actually happened. Maybe not literally but similar. And them saying random things in Korean is them joking a little on how many Kpop songs tends to have random english sentences or words that sometimes doesn't make sense with the context of the sentence they were already starting.

[@anibalfull]

more simple, the video is just half asians people who don't understand a shit about korean (a mixture between half-koreans, half-chinese and half-japanese dudes) trying to be K-pop stars just the name of the band say it all "Boys generally Asians"

[@tomyang3014]

No, the point is that their Korean person in the group doesn't understand Korean well enough and led them to say things that they didn't intend to say

[@zhangjiang4246]

UnaXdeXD ahre you’re dumb if you think they don’t know, they literally had subtitles in English that says the lyrics. It’s a joke and somehow you’re triggered.

[@nopenotme8701]

This is s agood point of view.

[@alizakazmi1509]

Your reaction was good, you understood the humour behind it some other people were confused by that, also three of them guys are Korean

[@RealKPOP]

Yeah, and they're cool. I wanna be fluent in English like them.

[@alizakazmi1509]

OrdinaryKoreans I'm sure you will be, they've just grown up in the west that's why they're fluent, I wanna learn Korean and hope to speak it at least basic form :)

[@RealKPOP]

+Aliza Kazmi Right. I heard that Korean language is hard to foreign people. Is it real?

[@alizakazmi1509]

OrdinaryKoreans I'm not sure to be honest I haven't started learning yet. But some other people I talk to who learn Korean say it's not that hard. They say hangul is easy to learn, like to read and write the alphabet.

[@coffeeowl1546]

OrdinaryKoreans it's supposedly easier than Japanese and Mandarin, so not that difficult

[@xiaorishu]

Lol! They actually thought they were the dancers at first xD Awwww

[@koemikawaii9946]

Out of all the reactions, someone finally saw Jun Sung as a Korean person!!

[@maxwellshauna682]

Ikr! I wish they'd noticed Justin chon is Korean too

[@RealKPOP]

His name is familiar to me lol

[@Moonlight-mp6rs]

3 of them are korean and can speak korean very good but for the video pretended they could not lol. the guy with gd hair is chinese and the main guy is japanese. they are all americans though yes. funny reaction!

[@mangmangkimandrewy.7149]

Yeah, He is from Hawaii but I think he is Japanese.. I noticed this in his videos..

[@kyriakoschrist]

+dorothy sam he is both

[@Moonlight-mp6rs]

He has literally said he was japanese so that's why I said that lol? My mother is from Hawaii and she is not Hawaiian lol.

[@aj2224]

+Moonlight I think he half Japanese and half Hawaiian. Not just Japanese. But I haven't heard him say he was full Japanese or anything.

[@vernonmascarenhas2190]

just see his draw my life video by d way the channel's name is nigahiga

[@a.c.5285]

I SERIOUSLY LOVE WATCHING KOREANS REACT TO THIS VIDEO HAHAH

[@RealKPOP]

REALLY?! Thank you for enjoying this video!

[@vaniad5843]

me too lol theyre funny haha

[@purpleglasses4511]

Ahahaha your username is hilariously accurate 😂😂

[@chatnoir60609]

me too!! and it's even better when they understand the first part of the video. It makes it much funnier.

[@koalalover1973]

yeah

[@AliceSiuASK]

This is the BEST reaction video of BgA Dong saya dae!! I like how you guys get the humor :)

[@RubelliteIsHere]

Most of them either take it too seriously or didn't get the joke, glad they got it though!!

[@CottidaeSEA]

I think the key point was that he introduced the video as a parody, so his friend understood immediately. They did take the video seriously in terms of analyzing it, but from the perspective of it being a parody. The correct way in other words.

[@clairekim2525]

+Sammi Irwin MCRmy!! (sorry)

[@RubelliteIsHere]

+Person Human HOI FREN :D don't apologise, its all good

[@Maiko134]

Thank you for putting in the time to make English subtitles. to answer some of your questions, this was made by Ryan Higa a really popular youtuber and Wongfu productions, another popular KZbin channel. There are actually three Korean/Koreans-Americans in the video. Jun Sun Ahn is from Korea, his KZbin channel name is Jun Curry Ahn and he choreographed most of the dance besides Kinjaz part, which they created themselves.

[@RealKPOP]

Wow, thanks for the explanation! I have to check out his channel.

[@Maiko134]

+OrdinaryKoreans You're welcome~ 😊

[@Mo0nLitee]

also that part where they acted like they used substitutes to dance were also them. they use those jokes alot. most of them are actually dancers, right? :D

[@Maiko134]

Mo0nLitee haha Jun Sun Ahn (Jun Curry Ahn) is an actual dancer, very good at it too, David Choi is actually a singer, Ryan Higa can dance, in his own special way haha, Philip is a producer/director but he does a bunch of stuff so dancing could be one of them. Justin's an actor and I don't know too much about him besides that. But all of them are very talented. And the dancers, Kinjaz were really talented too. Those jokes never get old haha

[@delperez2565]

Philip can actually dance. He used to be a dancer during his college years. :o

[@vetgirl4248]

A lot of Koreans reacting to this vid seems to notice the high quality of this video. Yes guys, Ryan Higa is not your ordinary youtuber. 😉

[@Dommelien]

I saw another "Koreans react to BgA" but they totally didn't understand that it was a parody, so your video was a lot more fun to watch xD

[@turnemintopink]

Yay! So glad you get the joke! Hahahaha usually kpop fans who do not understand korean will just like the songs even though the lyrics don't make sense hahaha

[@RealKPOP]

Yeah lol

[@Annonymous5411]

Also the messed up Korean is making fun of the Engrish in Kpop songs. Kpop is notorious for messing up English words.

[@RealKPOP]

Many K-pop songs has been criticized for some reasons even here in South Korea and 'messing up English words' is one of those reasons.

[@Annonymous5411]

OrdinaryKoreans Lol, I know. I am saying the parody was making fun of that fact but messing up the Korean language as a joke. haha. I mean You are the shit is slang for you are daebak basically. My Korean is sketchy.^_^'. So Dong Saya Dae was supposed to be you are the shit but the sentence got messed up in translation.

[@RealKPOP]

+Annonymous5411 I got it lol Thanks for your explanation :D

[@Pomagranite167]

Usually, the koreans are totally unaware that this is making fun of k-pop, which makes it even more hilarious when they are like "...what the fuck?" But your guyses reaction was just as great XD

[@NickaLah]

This was the best reaction, most Koreans don't seem to act like it's that funny lol

[@MrLDoMe]

yea, I don't know why some koreans are getting mad over this. Personally I think it was hilarious and gave more recognizition to kpop.

[@mendosuhhhh]

Except Topp Dog 😂😂 they reacted to this video and loved it ❤❤ but true, I've seen other koreans or half koreans react to this and they take it to seriously.. ;n;

[@xxliew]

It's less that asians are less sarcastic, it's more like it's harder for them to get the cultural context (in this case, the way the west sees kpop videos and youtuber culture in general). Foreigners don't understand when we're being sarcastic/parodic either because you don't have the context lol.

[@MrLDoMe]

Xiang Xiang Liew Well explained.

[@mikan1998ful]

I don't think they understand the context because they can't understand the English script

[@CrouchinCorner]

I have watched a few videos that koreans react to BgA's song at different channels, I feel like most of the koreans look at the video as a serious product. (I mean it is made with effort, but not intended for real markets.) The song is just basically a joke by looking at the beginning. Maybe the culture differences ?

[@Biogrrrl]

I feel like that is caused by translation issues. If they knew straight off the bat that it was parody, they might react differently.

[@CrouchinCorner]

Not really, I think its more likely that they just don't know ryan higa's style. And this song is not a parody (Maybe some scenes (Big Bang etc.)), they just take k-pop elements and mash them together and create their own song just for laughs. I see lots koreans first thing they react to the song is about the lyrics. I dont understand why wouldn't they think the song is just for joke just by looking at the bad lyrics, and they think its just because their production is bad or something.

[@Biogrrrl]

The 'super Korean' guy at the beginning, who is bad at translating, is the one who supposedly wrote the lyrics. It seems like that small detail doesn't come across very well to those who don't speak English as a first language. So instead of laughing at the terribly translated Korean, they spend a while trying to figure out what exactly they are looking at. They were most likely expecting the group to be singing lyrics like "Look at us, we're so cool, because we wear eyeliner and have crazy hair!" I do think this was one of the best reaction videos I've seen to this song, enjoyed it a lot!

[@CrouchinCorner]

+Biogrrrl +Biogrrrl You understand korean? How do you know the translation is bad? The title should be correct. These two gentlements saw and understood the title I assume when I saw their response at 2:52

[@Biogrrrl]

CrouchinCorner I'm not sure why you're so angry, I was just trying to help answer your question. Have a nice day.

[@ItsMe-jd8ou]

The point of Ryan's vid is to poke fun at ppl who listen to kpop without knowing korean. Like you said it's a good song to listen to is toy don't know korean. In the vid.. not even the singer's knew what they were saying. lol anyways I loved your reaction

[@MeitanteiNoMusume]

I'm a hardcore K-Pop fan and I couldn't agree more. This parody is spot on! I only read the translation of the songs after I got hooked. So if it sounds good I would probably be singing "Dong Saya Dae" without knowing what it actually says. Time to learn korean haha! NIce reaction guys!

[@RealKPOP]

Lol you're right. Thanks

[@valre5847]

aahh when you said that it has a BTS vibe to it ^___^ so you guys know of them? I love the reaction, you guys understand the humor that BgA was going for

[@RealKPOP]

Thank you. We'll keep it up.

[@lunapark36]

Your reaction was so funny to watch. The best part was the "oh they actually can dance 0-0" part, like we all though that

[@RealKPOP]

Yeah. We all didn't expect that break dance part.

[@andreaastasari8132]

I automatically click on any video related to Koreans reacting to Dong Saya Dae, just to see how the Koreans taking the parody video of Kpop, haha. Good video, by the way. Love your reaction video :)

[@RealKPOP]

Thank you for watching!

[@TimeSlip1812]

What I love more than "Dong Saya Dae" is watching Koreans react to "Dong Saya Dae"

[@popsunbg]

Honestly, not every Korean can understand the meaning of the parody and the humor Ryan is putting in every single video of his, but you guys seems to have a single clue and that makes me happy!

[@sherryberry90]

Koreans' reactions to this are awesome!! This one was my favourite. :D Justin Chon and Jun Sung Ahn are actually Korean. Seems like everyone likes reacting to this. It was one of my favorite videos to react to as well. Thanks for making this!

[@RealKPOP]

My pleasure! Thank you, Shereen!

[@meowwe]

+shereen G David Choi is also korean among five 3 of them are koreans

[@DakFortheWin]

yea the short guy, red haired guy, and long hair guy are Korean. Tall guy is chinese and main guy is japanese

[@maddymaddyval]

you dont need to speak english. the korean language sounds like music to me 😍😍❤❤

[@RealKPOP]

Lol That's... GREAT.

[@amaalnuur]

^ his comment is hilarious ''that's... GREAT''

[@abthurd]

every kpop songs out there to international fans. LMAO

[@shuhrattishi7800]

They're the first guys who actually went through the credits. and I loved how they actually enjoyed it.

[@MoanaLegends]

Is Ryan Higa famous in Korea???

[@ShankaraOm]

They are comediants so the lyrics are suposed to be fun and non-sense (also to prove that the lyrics don't matter to non-korean kpop fans as they point it out in the begining of the video).. i personally love this dumb american humor, also am huge nigahiga fan, every project his in has lot of quality!

[@RealKPOP]

Right. I'm going to watch their other videos.

[@blackplague7660]

I don't know how I got here - but I'm glad I did Xd

[@RealKPOP]

I'm glad you are here too.

[@MariaGonzalez-eg5zb]

they mentioned GD ♡

[@MariaGonzalez-eg5zb]

then they mentioned Bts♡ *dies*

[@KM-on4ng]

+Maria Gonzalez Ikr 😣😍😍😍😍😁😁

[@mendosuhhhh]

GD ❤

[@xokar1494]

I SUDDENLY FLIPPED MY PHONE WHEN YOU MENTION BTS 😎 By the way, both of you look handsome 👌🏻 Keep it cool mate!! Good reaction 🤗

[@RealKPOP]

Flipped your phone? lmao And thank you, we'll keep it up!

[@lina9246]

Can you do a reaction video to BTS ? N.O or Tomorrow live and say what you think of the lyrics ? That would be awesome !

[@RealKPOP]

Lina Zniber Okay, we'll check out the song.

[@xokar1494]

+OrdinaryKoreans yes lol btw I subscribed already, i'll wait for your next upload! 🖖🏼

[@vadoom3353]

u guys reacting to this is actually hilarious normally i dont care for reacting videos but this was awesome

[@makishimashogo2164]

They guy on the right is pretty clever. He got on track right from the start. On all the reaction videos i've seen, the guys start to understand a little in the end. This guy knew what was happening right from the start.

[@zoya9621]

There are a lot of kpop fans all over the world! haha

[@RealKPOP]

That's amazing

[@tibowmew]

I loved your reactions! Most Koreans I've seen react to this don't catch the humor and take it too seriously.

[@mikurunrunrun]

The funny thing is that a lot of non Korean speaking K-pop fans wouldn't even realize what they are singing if there wasn't subtitles,lol.

[@anibalfull]

like the gangnam style XD westernes took it to be the "horse's dance" XD when it it's a love song XDDD

[@thereseeklund1332]

the " You want to die"-parts are so freakin funny haha!!

[@leyah18]

This reaction video is so pure~ not knowing anything about the people in it. They're on point!

[@mrqk00]

I'm only here to watch other people's reactions of BgA - Dong Saya Dae video! Who else?

[@Kingdomhearts1109]

To go into further explanation (I apologize if this had been said before, I didn't go through the comments thoroughly) three of the five of them are Korean. Phil Wang is from Wongfu and he's Chinese American (GD imitator lol). His channel (he works with other people) has a lot of good content film wise. Ryan Higa used to have the most subscribers on KZbin (he's pretty famous like what someone else has said). Jun Sung Ahn (안준성) is a Korean violinist that's known for his Kpop covers. David Choi is a Korean American musician and he has a lot of original compositions. Justin Chon is also Korean American and he's actually a famous actor (crazy ass dude on KZbin though haha).

[@RealKPOP]

Their nationalities are already said before but thanks for more detailed information!

[@calipop_9253]

Thanks for the eng subs! I enjoyed your reaction!

[@victorialin617]

this is honestly the reaction I looked for. gj guys!

[@bignonoIamAgirl]

This was funny! Thanks for reacting to this! :D

[@gufa8482]

this is what I've been waiting for:))))

[@Plumeria3494]

That is exactly the point of this parody. If you don't understand Korean language, Kpop songs sound and video looks cool! For the international fans of Kpop, they listen to and watch Kpop music and videos. For all you know, the lyrics could be about 똥싸야돼. 😁

[@momochan5964]

why i heard one of the gils saying "JIMINaaa.."

[@chocolatesponge3854]

I loved this, keep it up guys!

[@ikigai9616]

I love this reaction hahaha glad that you both got the humor! :)

[@Goldievoi]

I really am glad you guys enjoyed the video. It was fun watching your reactions!

[@mangahaul]

This was very fun to watch :D

[@jodie3950]

If this video spreads in Korea that'll be the awesomest thing ever. I'm so proud of Ryan getting Koreans to recognize him like that XD

[@blezeee]

Great job, guys! Thank you for actually "understanding" the whole concept. BTW, these guys are all famous (youtubers & actors). Please check them out individually. Gahamsamnida!

[@gunsmoke160]

Haha great video and commentary!

[@RealKPOP]

Thank you!

[@oleoso13]

thank you for the reaction.that was awesome!!

[@RealKPOP]

Thanks!

[@darz4732]

I think Ryan should've made it more clear that the song was supposed to be for entertainment because sometimes Koreans don't understand the concept xD. But you guys took it well.

[@bunbun851]

I really love your reaction its funny. my favorite part is when you said GD and BTS keep up the good work can't wait to see more from you guys.👍👍👏👏

[@RealKPOP]

Thank you for watching ^_^

[@bforbonggg]

Your reactions were so cute haha and thanks for making the video! ^ ^ For the note, the 'substitutes' in the dance cut are actually real dancers - they're from a group called Kinjaz. They have a KZbin account too, they're really good!! And in a behind-the-scenes video on Wong Fu Productions channel, all the members of BgA even got to film in Kinjaz's practice room! Just a point! : D

[@flowerlight]

Loved watching u guys reaction ☺️

[@dolpal-i8295]

I loved it! hahah Thanks for the subs! :D

[@RealKPOP]

My pleasure ^_^

[@rachelm9046]

This was so funny! I've watched reactions to this music video by both Koreans and foreign k-pop fans. Most other Koreans just seem really confused by the lyrics, but that's the point! When k-pop fans watch this they find it hilarious because it would look like a legitimate k-pop video if it didn't have english subtitles at the bottom! Anyway, you and your friend were really funny to watch and you totally got was the video was about! Seriously funny

[@RealKPOP]

Haha thank you. Maybe because everytime I watch a video or movie, it's fun to get the message of the video.

[@PandaSayWeCanFly]

I just found this channel and I’m in love! New subscriber here :) ( I found you both very handsome btw :$ oops )

[@RealKPOP]

Welcome! and thanks lol

[@PandaSayWeCanFly]

haha you’re welcome :D

[@sabtraction4187]

I usually dislike people reacting to other people's videos, but somehow I *really* liked this one. o_o

[@Kaush-kr2we]

they actually imitated BigBang! Ryan played the role of T.O.P and David and TAEYANG the long haired guy played Daesung, GD u guys already know and the one with red hair played seungri

[@Kaush-kr2we]

David as* TAEYANG :P

[@RealKPOP]

Really?! They had their roles?! Wow thank you!

[@roniluvsmusic]

Great reaction video, I really enjoyed it lol! Also thanks for the English subs. New subscriber.

[@Lila-kn1yu]

LOL I LOVE HOW IN EVERY KOREAN REACTION VIDEOS THEY SEE THE DANCING SEGMENT AND ARE LIKE WOW THEYRE GOOD AT DANCING THEN REALIZE THEYRE SUBSITUTES AND CRACK UP 😂😂😂

[@sils142]

the reactions on this video were f****** hilarious

[@tranganhbui6272]

people who reaction this video are always surprised when Ryan said 'oh you know we couldn't dance'and they danced, but after that.... lol 😂😂

[@mendosuhhhh]

How did I just know about this channel?! I love it!! I know y'alls channel will grow big ❤ *Subscribed* >< 💕

[@MzsDiomii05]

BgA released a new m/v please do a reaction video w/ your friend again ^^

[@CurvyNicole]

First off I love both of your reactions and that you both spoke in Korean. I hope you do more music video reactions .

[@RealKPOP]

Thanks! We'll make other music video reactions.

[@BananaWrathful]

Omg this is amazing

[@RealKPOP]

Thanks!

[@pandaonsteroids5154]

Also I subbed. You guys should make more videos. You only have two^^

[@RealKPOP]

Yes, but sorry I can't make reaction video till final exam ends. Can you wait until then?

[@pandaonsteroids5154]

OrdinaryKoreans I WILL!

[@TheOverlordEND]

Funny fact is.. their song actually get high rank in iTunes when come out.

[@RealKPOP]

Pretty good song. I mean.. the sound.

[@shadoAlamoudi]

i'm a new subscriber i love your reaction 😆😂

[@RealKPOP]

Thx, glad you subscribed my channel!

[@samkeys2485]

This is the first reaction video that I have come across where they realize its a parody, even if they still don't know exactly what its a parody of. They are not actually making fun of kpop (not a lot anyway) but international kpop fans and their almost ridiculous love of the music. I am a fan, by the way so I am including myself in that statement. What Ryan Higa and the others are showing is that kpop artists could really be singing ridiculous and incorrect things and most international fans won't know, because most of us don't speak Korean.

[@astarions]

You guys are funny!

[@ventisapples7452]

Its actually funny how SungAhn reacts to whatever the guy(superkorean guy) says to tuink he actually knows what it means😂

[@toBe8ere]

for those who don't know that "t" sign is actually the sign for "stop!"

[@Craigskaters]

Technically, it's the sign for "Time out" but same idea.

[@deletethedarkness12]

Nice video, keep it up! I am happy you guys understood it's a parody :D

[@RealKPOP]

Yasss. It was difficult to understand it but now I understand the whole context of this video.

[@Joyzyii]

Keep uploading videos. I can see your channel will grow quickly. I will subscribe. :)

[@RealKPOP]

Thank you for subscribing my channel ^_^

[@ash-xu]

well, to really understand the music vid you have to be a fan of ryan... just watching this one alone doesn't really showcase his hilarity.

[@RealKPOP]

You're right.

[@ash-xu]

I would really recommend his vids because he is really funny, but your reaction was pretty well made.

[@Ninisw33t]

best reaction i've seen by far 👍

[@RealKPOP]

Thank you

[@evaundele123]

I like their reactions, finally some Koreans who got the joke. 😄 The guy on the right with the black cap is pretty cute though. Handsome!

[@Maha87]

please react to BGA"S new song! "who's it gonna be" this is one of my favorite Korean reactions on youtube. you guys are genuine! please react to more :)

[@RocelynA23]

You should both comment on what you think of the video after. Good job ^__^ I enjoy Wong Fu and Ryan Higa. They are awesome

[@RealKPOP]

Thank you. We'll add 'final thoughts' next time.

[@RovenzVlog]

WHERE THE BgA ARMY AT?
