FILMMAKER REACTS To BTS 'Mic Drop' Behind The Scenes!

[@Angela-lb9zi]

Someone actually said they didn't like you reading what the members are saying?! Dude, you do you. I LIKE the way you react in your videos. I like that you read what they are saying. Please don't stop what you are doing. We love you fr.

Exactly!! Not sure why reading the subtitles would be a problem - they are explaining a lot of what's going on!

[@elina786]

You can read what they're saying as loud as you want, i don't mind..i actually like that, because for me it's too small to read.. i think you're doing a great job 👍🏻

[@moxiesoxie9374]

Same. Keeps me from having to read it. Read to us 😊

[@lal4mm]

"They did all this for the MV and then just told Steve to go to the LA studio" Dude yes 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Btw, they filmed this and the Japanese version at the same time, so they did some scenes twice, one lip syncing the Korean/English version and other lip syncing for the Japanese version 😵🤯 (sometimes with different outfits)

[@LoveTheBasics]

Ohhhh I didn’t even know this one had a Japanese version

[@Ray-yo6do]

A lot of their songs have japanese versions to their music videos! Some are filmed while filming their korean mv so the japanese version pretty much similar to their korean one. But some of the mvs to the japanese versions of their songs are a whole different and new music video.

[@alnilamorionis5994]

Thank you! I didn't know about the Japanese MV. I just watched it and then a side-by-side. That was very cool!

[@nnn11230]

Hey Alex, is okay if you need to read what they say out loud to understand it better! Don't worry about it, seriously! Also yeah, there's three versions of Mic Drop, the original all in korean, the Steve Aoki remix where the chorus and RM's part is in english, and the remix ft. Desiigner! Thanks again for your reaction!

[@lisanelson1522]

Is there a Japanese one as well? And the album version of the Steve Aoki remix contains the dance breaks. I guess more to the point for Alex is, how many music videos?

[@Sunset553]

I’ve seen it dozens of times and every time it was the Steve Aoki one, lol.

[@screamthename_1772]

@@lisanelson1522 yep , there's an mv for the japanese one as well..

[@MxEverybody]

To the people complaining about the reading out loud: shhhhh, stop it. Honestly, it makes it easier for people who are listening to the reactions, it makes it more accessible, we get a better understanding of what you are catching in the video... I can’t see a single reason why you shouldn’t read it. It’s like those people complaining about too much pausing... like why are you watching anyway 👀

[@fy3845]

Obama's iconic mic drop was at the end of his speech at the Correspondent's Dinner in 2016. Haha!

[@sarajohnston6167]

Here's a link to the moment. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pl6qc4hpgdWLqck But, his whole speech is worth watching. Some of the jokes you had to be a news junkie in 2016 to get, but that's me. Love your channel by the way!! This one on Mic Drop was one of my favorites, just like the MV itself. Thanks for all you do.

[@arishk98]

Ok ... Just read the subtitles out loud it's good to hear someone reading it rather than as audience actually reading it that too in reaction video.

[@desireelou2805]

I don't mind you reading the subtitles! i enjoy watching it with you reading the it because it helps me understand more about how they film and all from your point of view!

[@nevy586]

I’ve never clicked so fast, I’m obsessed with these reactions cuz I know they are genuine and not for the views.

[@haripriyaborah9447]

Same, I always wait for his reactions

[@tessabrooks6119]

Agree 💯!

[@wanieeGJ]

Same. Like his eyes always looking at cameras and the production. He gives great comment in filmmaker's preception and truly genuine. At first, he just awe at all amazing production and now he knows their names. Lol see hows going 😂

[@herajuno2070]

Reading what they're saying is important tho, If you want to be able to relate to them and the MV sketches, you'll have to read. I don't understand why would someone say that.

[@DontSigh]

Probably someone said not to read subtitles during a music video and he for some reason thought that also applied to behind the scenes videos. Which would be a kind of dumb thing to think because they're two totally different things. His area of expertise is filmmaking so during music videos he shouldn't let himself get distracted by lyrics, but during behind the scenes videos there's no reason not to read subtitles.

[@edwinatakasaki2258]

If it helps you to get the flow of the video, pause and read the subs. This is YOUR process on YOUR channel - that’s why we’re here, Alex! And if you’re following your metrics correctly, you should know you’re doing it right, that’s why people keep coming back, liking your reactions, etc. As Jimin says, “you nice, keep going!”

[@lisanelson1522]

😁

[@LeilaleilaZ]

Then people will complain about him pausing too much. You can't please everyone, there will always be someone that's like " okay but IIII don't like it, so cater to what IIII want" 😒 they can't just enjoy and stfu

[@luzbelenencinas1058]

Actually I like when you read, don't pay attention to that details, you just do whatever you want and feel confortable. Love your reactions!!!!!!!

[@ot7biasedmashups]

I really like it that you're reading everything out! It's easier because everything you say is separated so you don't need to look at the screen all the time

[@randomhumanbeing2487]

Reccomendation of bts music videos to check out: -IDOL(x100 trippier than DNA) -War of Hormone(Contains a lot of one shot scenes) -DOPE(Also contain some one shot scenes,dope.) -Fire(Fire.) -Boy with Luv(It’s pretty nice) There are also a lot of other nice music videos to check out,and their solo music videos are definitely worth checking out too!

[@hearts4dovali]

I wonder what would be his reaction when he reads war of hormone lyrics

[@violetluna52]

Let's keep the explosions going and react to FIRE next 🔥

[@susyramirez7912]

In fact, they were filming two different videos, the mv you already saw and the Japanese version of MIC Drop. Thanks for your reaction 🤗

[@jessie6243]

I was looking for this comment

[@ALEX-kc9eh]

You can do what you want. I personally LIKE it when you read the subtitles out loud because that way i can see that you are paying attention to what they are saying. Don't mind those people who say negative things

[@edwinatakasaki2258]

BTW, BTS changing the lyrics to Mic Drop - there is the original Korean version, a Japanese version for their Japanese album, the Steve Aoki and Designer version with Korean/English lyrics targeted for their international audience, a Steve Aoki mix with Korean lyrics for an awards show performance and their concert performance mix for the Love Yourself/Speak Yourself tours. I mean, when you have a hit, right!

[@trxdh]

if reading the subtitles out loud is what helps you concentrate then keep reading them out loud. most of us really don't care, it's your channel and you should be able to make your videos how you want

[@amiezahime]

You dont need to worry.. For me, if you read it out loud.. its okay.. that's mean you're trying to understand it.. I like it when you're read it.. Anyway, I love all your reactions.. no need to worry about it..

[@violetluna52]

They were shooting the Korean, Japanese and English version all at once, so if you can't recall some of the scenes, it's most likely an scene from the Japanese version.

[@lal4mm]

Yes, but actually there's no MV for the Korean version 😅 but yes they recorded the English (which has some verses and lines in Korean) and the Japanese version at the same time 😵

[@shinryouzen]

I love that you read what they say! That’s actually part of the appeal for me. I have a medical condition that is causing my eye muscles to weaken and I’m going to eventually have surgery to fix it. But for now, I’m not able to focus my eyes well enough to read the small words on the screen, so when you don’t read them, I don’t know what they’re saying. I hope you go back to reading what they say! Even if you don’t, I still like hearing what you have to say about the videos. I find it really interesting.

Jin and JHope are the two who startle easily, so it's definitely a challenge for them not to freak out.

Reading subtitles is important though. That's how we can understand it more. It's okay don't pay attention to what people say. Do what makes you comfortable.

well to be honest after filming the dance completely they calmly they did run away almost screaming haha (the explosion scene)

[@jayem7546]

Thanks for the great explanation! A few questions you wondered about - There are several Mic Drop remixes: the Original song, Desiigner remix, Steve Aoki remix, and a Japanese version, at least. English - yes, the Steve Aoki remix is mostly in English! You probably just didn't notice because you were expecting Korean; follow along with the English subs - most of the song until just before the end is English starting with the "Did you see my bag? Did you see my bag?" line. And about Obama - when he finished his last speech as president with "Obama out" and dropped his mic. Was so funny! RM says he was inspired by it. Thanks for the great video!!!

[@VMYeahVN]

I think i see what they did for the scene with Suga rapping and Jungkook and Jimin getting pulled off the table and why they did it with all three of there at the same time. I think they filmed it with all three of them in high speed but real time. Like let's say 60fps. Then they double up the video layers, mask around Suga and have his layer play in real speed converted to 24fps/30fps and then JK and Jimin's layer ramps down to slow-mo when they get pulled off. Wires get erased and then the 3D debris elements are added to kind of add some atmosphere and help the shot feel like one again. The way this shot is set up with the three of them not interacting with each other or any background elements, it saves them having to film it twice (one with just Suga in real time 24fps and a second time with Jimin and Jungkook at high speed 60fps).

[@fllwyrblssw9289]
