Metalcore Fan Reacts to BTS | BTS - Fake Love | Song Reaction

[@arisol1011]

Thank you for watching the translated lyrics. Not sure why ur not checking out the mv to the song. Highly recommend them. They r high budget with almost all practical effects and symbolism. You do you of course.

[@RubberToez]

I’m worried about copyright violations! If I get it, it could ruin the video and I’d have to scrap that reaction forever. Someone mentioned something about including their logo at the beginning of their music videos in my reactions and I’ll be fine so I’m going to give it a shot after my next video that’s coming out tomorrow

[@shivangiagrawal2665]

@@RubberToez you'll get the copyright claim but not a strike. They support reactions. Make sure to include the logo in the beginning.

[@eileencritchley4630]

@@RubberToez I use their official MV from and show it from the beginning with their label BigHit logo then you won't have any problems. You can access that via their official KZbin Channel 'Bangtan TV'

K-pop is not a genre like pop. It's an industry that was influenced by US 90's R&B and Hip Hop and has since incorporated other genres like pop and EDM. It's more about performance, dancing, music video visuals, and a system where companies train young talent for years before they debut in a group. They wouldn't even call it k-pop so much in Korea, they would call it Idol music because the performers are trained to be Idol-like. BTS more than the average k-pop group not only mixes genres within songs but switches up genres within albums and between album sets/eras. Plus, more than the average k-pop group, they are heavily involved in the songwriting process. Thanks for checking it out. I hope you enjoy your journey!

[@WhalienDNA]

Just an FYI that their official MVs have English captions and are an integral part of their art. As long as you play the label’s logo in the beginning, you shouldn’t have to worry about a copyright strike. This song is from their Love Yourself series, specifically the second album Love Yourself: Tear. The album series tells an overarching story. You might enjoy the song Outro:Tear. It’s a rapline song, which has an amazing live performance from Wembley (the live performance is available with English subs and is really powerful)

[@RubberToez]

A copyright violation is what I was worried about in regards to reacting to a music video of theirs! I’ll give it a shot with the video coming out after the next one thanks for your comment 🙏

[@juneseghni]

You might enjoy the actual music video for this- their choregraphy and settings are an integral part of the experience. The videos have english subs if you use the cc button.

[@RubberToez]

I was worried about copyright violations but others are saying it’ll be fine as long as I include their logo in their music video in my reaction so im giving that a shot after my next video that’s coming out tomorrow

[@RubberToez]

I know certain captions on KZbin aren’t the best so hopefully those are

[@freyja6360]

@@RubberToez That's exactly right. BigHit/Hybe are really cool with people learning about BTS and sharing it. You actually have a higher chance of getting a copyright claim when you're reacting to the songs that aren't from their official channel than the other way around. Not to mention that without their dance and visual part of the story you're missing practically a good half of the song's meaning, they are deepening it immensely. The MV to "Fake Love" is really something special, all of them are. PS. Yes, the sounds are legit. You're not reacting to the album version here but to the MV version without the visuals.

[@WonderingWildWanderingRose]

​@@RubberToez there are translation sources that are considered to be best that will be suggested to you and are most trusted within the fandom, but I have been of the opinion that the translations offered through the official channel/MV are the ones that represent the official message they want to convey (lol). The suggested sources often give translator notes that help give cultural context though.

[@RubberToez]

@@WonderingWildWanderingRose thanks for your comment! Do you have a suggestion for a live performance of Cypher 1-4 that I could react to? That is my next bts reaction video that I want to get out this week

[@secretyidentity2833]

Don't worry abt the quality of the live performances. I promise you there are a BUNCH of them that are really high quality. K-pop it self is an industry and an art form much more than it is a genre of music like pop, rock, etc. K-pop tends to focus a lot on visuals and BTS in particular are usually put a lot of thought into the concepts of their albums, music videos, dances, etc. MVs and live performances are (IMO) what really sets k-pop apart from western music and artists. It's an EVENT, every last one of them. Hope you enjoy the ride. 💜

[@fi0rella]

'a lot of you want live video reactions..' he's calling us out jsdhkfjdfh I didn't write anything yet BUT was abt to lmao we know the boys always sound better live. It's their forte!

[@sarahy1680]

One thing to remember is that (very broad generalization) unlike western pop, which was born and grew on radio with visuals taking more of a backseat until the rise of music videos, the k-pop industry developed on television, so a strong visual component involving choreography, costuming, makeup, and thematic concepts were as important as the vocal element right from the start. Another thing to keep in mind as you start watching BTS MVs is that some of them are part of a fictional storyline (BTS Universe, or "BU"). In those MVs, the songs work more as a soundtrack for the visuals rather than literally spelling out what's going on. In songs like "I Need You" or "Run", parts of the BU story are acted out. In songs like "Fake Love", there are no actual story scenes but instead there are visual references and call backs to story elements and scenes of other MVs. So on first viewing the MV for this song, there's going to be a LOT that seems surreal and have no relation to the lyrics. BTS: the fandom that makes us do homework to understand their catalog!

[@djlivvy46]

I have heard that theory in the first part of your comment before, but I really don't understand how it came about to be honest. Right from the start of the music industry, the visual aspect was extremely important which is why the artists were always so well dressed. Even back in the 1920's the jazz bands were stylish and had their own form of choreography. Little Richard was using makeup and showmanship way back in the 1950's and David Bowie was wearing makeup and performing contemporary dance in the 1970's, long before the MTV era. Even The Beatles used their haircuts, suits and dancing to make a statement in the 1960's. The only thing that K-pop groups are doing differently is that they have more members in their groups, as far as I can see.

[@sarahy1680]

​@@djlivvy46 (Again, VERY broad generalizations ahead!) I think it's really a matter of tools and timing. And we're talking about what worked for the industry as whole, not necessarily what the artists might have wanted. Western pop started earlier and developed with tech that allowed a piece of media to permeate society at a slower rate. Each time tech changed, it had to learn to adapt to it. (Nothing moves slower than an industry that thinks it's already figured out the market. Even if artists want change, the machinery running things is going to stick to the tried-and-true for as long as it can. Capitalism! Artists, like Bowie, who made major changes to their images were, for a long time, an outlier. Most polished up a specific style and kept to it.) K-pop emerged when people started expecting things faster and tech was available to fill that expectation. So the industry started with that mindset already in place rather than having to change from an earlier business mode. Entertainment has always had a visual aspect, of course. But western pop music goes back to when radio and records were how songs were *first* experienced and most people didn't get the chance to see anything but still pictures of the artists. Perhaps they might see one performance of a specific song on film or (eventually) TV. Most people *didn't* get to go to live shows and remember, movies used to only play in theaters for a week or two! TV shows aired once. Repeated access to visual mass media is a fairly recent development (movies on TV, re-runs, VCRs, DVDS, internet) and meant that the life cycle of specific songs/performances was much longer, permeating the culture much more slowly. So new content wasn't expected to appear as quickly as we do today. But K-pop was designed to be experienced on TV right from the start and with multiple weekly music shows and competitions. It's like there were a half-dozen versions of Top of the Pops on each week and a group appeared on each and did a different grand production on each of them. And K-pop also developed right when audiences started be able to access content more often and thus get used to it faster. It saturates the culture and the audience expects new content sooner. MTV might have put some videos on heavy rotation but that's nothing compared to the on-demand culture we have now!

[@eileencritchley4630]

@@sarahy1680 Excellent break down and history of the music industry.

[@teebeee5832]

they have a rock version of this song too its the extended version of the music video were used to reactors reacting to the music video or color coded lyrics so theres gonna be people wanting that tbh imo i like this reaction cause my favorite part is the lyrics and the visuals usually have most people splitting their attention and missing the lyrics. it may not be everyones favorite approach but id love for you to react this way and maybe visit the music videos for the visuals later if youre even interested in the story the videos tell. imo reactors dont pay enough attention to their lyrics when the lyrics are written by the members based on their lives and are one of if not the most important parts of the songs. color coded lyric videos will help you understand who is singing but theyre usually smaller fonts and many of the most viewed channels are translated wrong. which ever channel you used for this video did good unless they just got the lyrics from the music video im not sure. anyways its up to you if youre genuine armys will watch regardless of how you choose to react. id also like to mention kpop isnt a genre and bts arent really kpop. theres a lot of debate on if they are or arent but thats because the west made the term kpop to separate korean artists from western/english speaking artists the same they do with latin and any other music in other languages. all the same genres you hear in america/english speaking countries exist in other countries/languages too. bts do almost ALL genres. theyre not afraid of experimenting mixing genres or trying new styles as a group and as solo artists. plus they also collab with people who do genres theyve never done before and after their military service they will probably incorporate all these new styles theyre trying as solo artists into the group music. dont see bts as "kpop" or a "boyband" see them as a collective of artists who can join together as well as be solo at the same time who write produce compose etc plus singing, rapping, dancing etc some of them even play instruments but havent incorporated it into many performances yet (theres been a few but not enough to say they regularly do it) but they may do more in the future.

[@freyja6360]

I beg you, don't put BTS' music in a box and don't wait for the "pop" to happen. K-pop isn't pop and BTS are barely even considered that. They are their own genre and are mixing it all together. Their songs are rarely even similar to each other, but you'll always know that it's BTS because they are the absolute legends in what they do. Their cute, bubblegum pop songs can really be counted on one hand and most of them were made during the pandemic to cheer people up. You clearly are into particular genre. I listen to hard music whether it's rock/metal or hip-hop but calling myself a fan of one particular genre would be too confining for me, almost suffocating, so being an ARMY (a BTS fan) was the easiest and most natural thing for me. If you like labelling the genres, BTS will be a tough cookie for you. Once upon a time I liked identifying the genres in music while listening to it but when BTS has found me things like that became meaningless.

[@ZariDV]

Don't worry, there's no "right" first song to check out for BTS. It's always best to try a few since there's such a range though so it's hard to pin them down musically with 1 song. Glad you're checking out more to see more variety. There's nothing wrong with a Cypher being your first. I agree with checking out the songs first before the lives. The lives are often better but it's good to have a baseline to know what it's supposed to sound like.

[@twawake6644]

You are right! The sounds you are hearing are sounds from the Music Video!

[@RubberToez]

Going to be reacting to the music videos instead of lyric videos soon! At least the songs that have music videos

[@chubbylittlebee]

BTS is always better live

[@Anne-pd2hk]

I'm now wondering where this particular video came from, lol Like others said, it's from the MV which has that interlude that doesn't exist in the studio album -- it's part of a cinematic moment of the video.

[@eileencritchley4630]

The mv is important and as long as you use the offical MV and show the BigHit label first you won't get it blocked. They all have English lyric's on their MV's as well.

[@RubberToez]

Thank you for the comment! Music video reactions coming soon 😎

[@eileencritchley4630]

Their live proformances are far better than their MV's and those are amazing.

[@AnaCarolinaRecaldeGomes]

Part of The kpop experience are The visuals and music videos.

[@MyTamone]

The music video comes with English subtitles

[@DeyaMeitina]

Every BTS song offer multi layered experiences. Besides the lyrics, the visuals of the MV are telling stories as well. Many hidden meanings from lyrics often connect to the visuals in the MV. Moreover, they also relate with many hidden philosophical excerpts in understanding what they/people psychologically go through in their life. So I highly suggest to watch the MV since you will open another door of interpretations. Please use the official MV only (from HYBE LABEL). Enjoy!

[@bulletproof_hope]

Like every real artists, BTS is better live. Don't worry about music/production quality. They put in the money for it 😊 Good performance videos with great English subtitles can be found on 'Enjoy BTS more ' channel!

[@lealarsen2017]

their live is ALWAYS better not joking you will be mindblown

[@fuhua]

i got introduced to bts through their really unpopular solo rap songs too so😭 It's a unique introduction but i love it

[@marmieof4964]

You're missing a lot by not watching the omv. Always have subtitles on. Their choreo is always on point. I hope you will watch the music videos & lives. Just when you think their songs & videos are over they're not. BTS are multi-talented, caring guys who remain humble. Their fans (called ARMY) are ALL AGES.

[@fi0rella]

OMG I just realized and no, it's not normal, you're right for noticing it! It sounded familiar but I'm 10000% sure the uploader added the subs to the audio of Fake Love MV?? any chance it was uploaded in May 2018?

[@dani_phantom1701]

if you want a lyric video check out the color coded lyric videos. it shows you who's singing what and it's translated

[@ruthfischer7615]

You are right. They put the translation over the MV and the sound effects on the MV. Mind you the original already has CC on the down right that are pretty good and seem to be the same. The MV is very good. I have seen many reactors do the full MV with the beginning logo. In their "Love Yourself" album they tell the story of a "perfect" relationship (first album) that breaks because the narrator is not true to themselves. In the last album we get the answer: you have to love your imperfect self first before you can love others. Fake Love is the the main single from the second album where it goes from "I don't know why" to "I do know why" and the relationship breaks. It is not necessarily a romantic one. It can be a relationship with yourself, friends, family etc. You nice! Keep going! 💜

[@ginaleonardo5808]

Thank you for reacting 💕 Try to react their live performances and their dance practice videos Keep safe always 💜

[@bignews1016]

Please also check music video

[@Justanybodyelse7]

😂, check out the official music videos (mv) from hybe labels and add the subtitles (not the auto-generated ones). Add: don't watch compilation video's for now. If there's no offical mv, check color-coded lyrics videos (not jaeguchi's as mostly 100% correct)

[@hortbeck]

For a lot of kpop videos, there are color coded lyrics videos that also show the photo of the person singing and usually has decent quality. The lyrics can be a little off sometimes with translation but are usually pretty good.

[@wongpauline22]

Welcome to Bangtan world! Gonna be a fun ride with so much story telling from Army fandom 🤭💜🇵🇭

[@eileencritchley4630]

That noise is the floor falling under Jungkook runs along the hallway. It was in sections and he had to run as each section fall under him for safety sake he was on wire's in case he didn't run fast enough and they edited the wire's out. You miss out so much without the MV.

[@charach7855]

8:00 try to react to their live performance because eventhough their MV are high quality, meaningful and artistic but BTS is better live. Sometimes their live also sound different from their original in term of music arrangement and their vocal and energy will bring you to the world of BTS. ARMY, please recommend a good live that is more of his taste that has engsh sub, please.

[@WonderingWildWanderingRose]

I think that is being done, but as he addressed it in the video, he prefers this. He doesn't know what he doesn't know. He doesn't even know that the reason people are suggesting the lives is because we are responding to his stated preferences. Maybe he will listen a bit closer to his friend that recommended he react to BTS in the first place. After all, they know him best.

[@sandys1890]

The VIDEOS are a must

[@janetuss6496]

They also made a "rocking vibe mix" of Fake Love that has a more rock sound to it. Also the metal band Lies Behind Your Eyes did a cover of this song, BTS themselves reacted to it when they did a "reacting to fan covers" video for Glamour. Here are some BTS song suggestions based on music genre/sound: rock, grunge or metal vibes: - Dionysus by BTS - Danger by BTS - Fake Love by BTS (rocking vibe mix) - More by J-Hope - Throw Away by RM - Smoke Sprite by So Yoon ft. RM - Intro Persona by RM - The Last by Agust D - Interlude Shadow by Suga (aka Agust D) hiphop/rap: - Born Singer by BTS - Hip Hop Lover by BTS - Outro: Tear, Ddaeng, and Ugh by the 3 rappers - Joke, Seoul, Do You, and Moonchild by RM - Daechwita, Agust D, Give It To Me, and Moonlight by Agust D - Baseline, Daydream, Hangsang, and Arson by J-Hope. neo-soul feel: - Singularity by V - Stigma by V - Yun by RM ft. the queen of soul Erykah Badu jazz/blues vibes: - Rain by BTS - 134340 by BTS - House of Cards by the 4 vocalists - Still With You by Jungkook RnB vibes: - Just One Day by BTS - Paradise by BTS - Home by BTS - Autumn Leaves by BTS ballad/vocal heavier songs: - Pied Piper by BTS - Stay Gold by BTS - The Truth Untold by the 4 vocalists - Epiphany by Jin latin pop - Airplane Pt. 2 by BTS - Filter by Jimin Set Me Free Pt. 2 by Jimin has a very Kanye West type beat to it, it's a very recent song from his new album. There's a music vid and a dance practice vid for it.

[@WonderingWildWanderingRose]

I'm happy to see you react to another BTS song and hope you are interested enough in their variety to continue your journey with them. I see so many others have commented on the captions, lyric videos, and importance of official MVs. Let me address those requesting live performances. ARMY love to help newcomers LEARN about BTS. We know their vast catalog best (we even know by heart songs that the members themselves have forgotten, lol) including the many live performances of their music. You *SERIOUSLY* don't realize how much BTS varies from song to song, genre to genre, same WITHIN each album, nevermind that they are going on 10 years since debuting together as a group, and ALL SEVEN members have individual works. I could go on more about the variety to be found even with each individual's works since they grew from teens to men reaching their 30's, and still it will only be words scratching the surface. The friend that recommended BTS to you know your musical taste and chose a song that is a non-popular introduction to their music (very much not to say that it is an unpopular song). I'm sure your friend knew the unexpected direction of the song would appeal to you a bit more than more usual introductions, but might also shake you from some preconceived notions you night have unconsciously held. Those who viewed your reactions HEARD YOU, and responded with suggestions that MIGHT fit YOUR musical tastes. They suggested live performances not only because BTS are SUPERB live performers (blow your mind good) but also because they often perform with a live band and those versions of their songs tend to cross into music metal-heads really enjoy. There is a harder edge and authenticity that many of us that enjoy rock/metal particularly appreciate even more than the album version. You spoke, we answered, and we tried to assist you as you try to navigate through the vast content produced by BTS. I'm a bit confused why you would toss that assistance away, in favor of your inexperienced "preference", but ultimately, it's your channel and your choice. Just thought I'd try to shed light on the comments you're receiving. I'm looking forward to see where your BTS journey takes you.

[@higiniadefreitas6181]

The BANGTANTV channel has the original video and it's full of symbolism, it's great and with its deep lyrics it makes it a great experience. I recommend that you watch the full video with the logo included and with cc. On the channel, in addition to the original mv, this and many songs have dance practices, the choreography is very good. General information: they are 7 members: 3 rappers 4 vocalists. And they are all very good, each one contributes with his style. All 7 write, produce and actively participate in their music. All 3 rappers are active members of the Korean Songwriters Society. There are introductory and guide videos to BTS and the members, if that's of interest to you. Greetings.
