Just a quick note... Jeon is his last name and Jungkook is his first name.... it's not "Jung" His full name is Jeon Jungkook.

[@user-te2nw3gh8f]

Best👍

[@patriciacrouch4660]

I would also recommend watching Jungkook's TSX Live at Town Square. He was amazing. The crowd was only given 30 minutes notice of the pop up concert. It was also known as the best Pop Up Concert. Listen to his adlibs in his solo songs and BTS songs. His adlibs are amazing. He sang several of his songs from his Golden album. He has many nicknames and Kookie is one of them.

[@pamelagreenhalgh1318]

Yes! PLEASE!

[@EndangS_04311]

Yes up

[@Rnim_ksa]

Yes please!!

[@beckyjoadams4206]

While the performance is an intentional homage to Michael Jackson, the sets (shot in Budapest) and story in the video are meant to evoke Baz Luhrmann's Romeo and Juliet. The stage on which they are dancing is like the stage set in the movie. The limo drivers fighting represent the two houses feuding. It's all very clever, really. Thank you for your reaction. 💜

[@suekennedy1595]

I didn’t get the the baz Luhrmann reference that’s for that I love how BTS suff has so many layers.

[@leeswhimsy]

I Can't wait for you to watch some live performances!!! He's unbelievable on stage!!! You're gonna be in shock!!

[@marshzelo4156]

Thank you for watching JK!! If you enjoy his dancjng, I can tell you will be amazed with all live performances too. Audacy Live, TSX stage at Time Square, Iheartradio etc. All are so good.

[@DDandME]

진짜에요 BTS 와 정국은 뮤직비디오보다 라이브를 더욱 잘해냅니다

[@Imme_begin]

If I could only watch one, it would be the three songs on iHeart. His VERY BEST vocals. I hope he reacts to all of them though.

[@lsanders48]

I really liked your reaction. It's funny that you mentioned West Side Story when talking about the vibes of the video. A lot of the imagery from the video is actually borrowed from the Baz Luhrmann version of Romeo and Juliet (you know- the one with Leonardo DiCaprio). Things like the limos, angel wings, and even the "stage" setting are a callback to that movie.

[@femmy-syahrani]

Full name: Jeon Jungkook. Stage name: Jungkook or Jung Kook. Nickname: JK or Kookie There are a lot to explore in JK's discography: * His album "Golden", which has 10 tracks, with 4 MV/visualizer (Standing Next to You, *Seven* ft. Latto, 3D ft. Jack Harlow, *Hate You* ) * His solo singles: *Still with You, Stay Alive,* My You * His solo songs in BTS albums: *Euphoria,* Begin, My Time * Collabs: Too Much, (with The Kid Laroi and Central Cee), Left & Right (with Charlie Puth), Dreamers (for FIFA) (My favorites in bold) If you want to get a glimpse of BTS, their FESTA Room Live is a good one. It is a medley of 7 songs in a variety of genres. The other members have amazing solo work as well, each showing a distinct sound. Let us know when you're ready to explore other members, and we'll give you some recommendations.

[@Inspiratie7D]

Stop selling other members under JK’s praises’ videos! If they just google his name they will find out BTS!

[@femmy-syahrani]

@@Inspiratie7D - Thank you for sharing your opinion about what is and is not allowed under JK's video. Of course I disagree, but thanks.

[@jessicathomas9935]

I’d love for you to hear my favorite song on his album, Hate You. It’s a ballad, but it’s gorgeous! The emotions he sings with are both stunningly beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time❤

[@TM-li7bl]

Love the song too!!!

[@pennyacosta1958]

Golden is his solo album with 11 tracks all in english

[@MandyMoon12]

Am I the only one that finds it impressive that he says English is hard, yet he recorded an all English album very quickly?

[@Loretta2304]

100% watch him do this song live. His live vocals are nuuuuts!

[@MilenaJaakkola-cv2lf]

I love seeing people discover Jungkook😆💜

[@joannechew4195]

Glad you like the original version! You can watch his live performance of this song at TSX Time Square too…can’t wait for the 3D reaction

[@Imme_begin]

For two different sides to JK, try “Hate You” visualizer and live at iHeart Radio and “Let Their Be Love”. They showcase his soft, breathy side. And two Korean songs “Euphoria” live and “Still With You” which Jung Kook wrote and produced.

[@whisper4423]

Catchy song, huh? His members (BTS) call him JK or Jungkookie or Junguah, but I believe the actual Korean pronunciation is Jungguk. They also refer to him as the Golden Maknae (maknae = youngest). So that is more than you probably ever needed to know about his name. Your reactions are fun to watch. Thanks.

[@tracydowd4013]

You should just go for it and watch his live Time's Square performance. He performed 5 songs with 3 choreographies, while singing, live. All from his album Golden. He gave BTS ARMY's 30 minutes notice before the performance where it would be. ARMY's showed up by the thousands. Just sayin', it's pretty awesome Jung Kook - Live at TSX, Times Square - kzbin.infogeHuX7E3NX8?feature=share

[@TheTwil1]

He’s even better live

[@drunkballerina89]

In reference to why he’s wearing the wings and why he is on a stage the Director apparently was taking inspiration from the Leonardo DiCaprio, Romeo and Juliet film.

[@mawbast1]

Definitely R & J but BTS also has 2 MV’s where the black wings make an appearance, Black Swan and Blood, Sweat and Tears

[@mawbast1]

Since you seem to like anima BTS, really a song done by JK and produced by another BTS member named Suga, have a song and MV for their web toon called Stay Alive

[@barbie52264]

The wings are from BTS' "Black Swan" video. You need to watch the live at the MAMA'S awards show!! That was classic!!💜💜💜

[@ma.belenrubillos8439]

Love it also if you check out his live performances at NY Times square and iheart radio

[@arasa0828]

The music video director was inspired by Romeo and Juliet. Jungkook's live performance is the best. Please react to his performance in Times Square. You will be able to see his live performance well. Haha

[@bbluvs1029]

Armys and the other members sometimes would call him Jungkookie or Kookie. Same here same. It's been my healing song since they all enlisted. I have this song in full blast.

[@natya1728]

You should watch his 'Standing Next to You' Promotions Sketch. I think you might enjoy it!

[@candicesmith-mackenzie6303]

Learn it!!!! Be warned that it’s not a particularly easy choreo. 🤣 So other people have explained that the video visuals are from Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo and Juliet. Since Shakespeare and Jungkook are my 2 favorite things I will explain the dance fight and the limos. In Romeo amd Juliet the 2 families are fighting and killing each other. Juliet’s parents throw a party, in the Baz version it’s like a Miami party complete with stage and limos. Now imagine the daughter of your boss wants to go hang out with the son of your enemy. Causes some tension. Notice that she is wearing white in the beginning of the video and by the end she is in black. She has gone to the other side. Also you missed that the venue has a giant sign with JK on it. Just like MJ’s insignia and exactly like the bleeding heart in the movie. When Romeo first meets Juliet she is wearing wings(it’s a costume party) and I think the director has him wear them to pay homage to all the wing themes in the BTS canon. More on that later. Anyway, glad you love it. 😘💜🫰🏻🫶🏻

Jungkook is the best. Absolutely fantastic 👏👏👏

[@ellapetal]

Kookie is totally a real nickname. lol

[@markballard9942]

Dude, the reaction had been out for 2 hours, and you've blown past your goals. JK debuted as a main singer for the group BTS more than 10 years ago when he was 15. For BTS, their dancing takes the place of instruments. You may want to dip your toe into BTS.

[@imajinallthepurple]

Exactly. He should definitely check out the group. Maybe Black Swan to start for this guy? Or something powerful like ON Kinetic Manifesto or Not Today? 😄 💜

[@mobassherahossain4382]

No he should definitely start dig deep more into Multi Talanted,Global PHENOMENON King Jeon JUNGKOOK!!

[@suekennedy1595]

@@imajinallthepurpleI really love black swan when I am showing total newbie’s BTS ,I show them graham nortons interview and then the black swan music video ,I especially love the part of suga singing in black swan. If you know the story of black swan it was used a a term for a very rare occurrence as in all swans were white then they discovered black swans in Australia. BTS are the black swans of the music industry couldn’t be possibly they wouldn’t exist and they are here in all there glory thanks to the universe.

[@toadiejones]

Glad you saw this one too! Head's up that ARMY (the fandom name: you'll see ARMY tattooed on his knuckles) are VERY protective and good at sniffing out fake reactors who use our huge number for clicks...but you seem very genuine in your appreciation! In addition to his TSX/Times Square performance, I would recommend looking up his Golden Live on Stage Concert. Live Jk is an experience. You won't be able to post a reaction to that one (Hybe hasn't released it on YT but people have shared anyway) but you'll be able to really get a sense of JK, see him perform his whole album, the way he interacts with fans and understand why he is so loved. And if you want a BTS song that features JK beautifully, ON Kinetic Manifesto MV is the one! PS. Jungkook is his whole first name. His full name is Jeon Jungkook (in Korea, surnames are put first)

[@gmldud-cr2si]

울 예쁜정국 ❤❤❤감사합니다

[@mf722]

Apple ( new Super Bowl sponsor) released a Super Bowl trailer to Usher's "Yeah", and Jungkook is one of the recognizable faces appearing on it.

[@cherylloper7320]

Go look at the music video backstory from JK himself. Forbidden love, secretive, the words to the song....filmed in Budapest. Yes a high budget for sure...pays homage to MJ...I saw Ushers clip of his performance for halftime at the S. Bowl and JK was pictured with Usher!!!!

[@rebeccabuxton1324]

Kookie is one of his nicknames, along with Jungkookie or JK. His given name (first name) is Jungkook, and surname Jeon. In Korea, they say surname first, so Jeon Jungkook. A lot of reactors call him JK. Kookie is the maknae (youngest) of the huge group BTS. All 7 members are equally amazing, although all with unique styles, and as a group they are phenomenal, so I would love to see you react to all members and the whole group.

[@zarajihane-cm3bq]

Standing next to you coreography version so amazing

[@evechime]

Thanks for your reactions! I luv it ❤❤❤

[@cosaguardostasera1442]

You should listen to his album Golden. All the songs have different vibes and, in my opinion, all the b-side are so good that they could be all title tracks. Jungkook is very famous but if he could have a little of all the western artists media play and radio play he could be unstoppable. Still he doing great and he deserve it.

[@jungkookjeon5557]

Watch his live performance on Times square and I heart radio.

[@Matildavux]

The settings is a flirt with Baz Luhrmans Movie Romeo & Juliet. Stage, wings and lyrics

[@akangulo]

You gotta watch his live performances of his songs at TSX and iHeartRadio

[@meilin4man596]

Love your reactions to Jungkookie. You are funny and engaging (but NOT annoying like some reactors can be). You may have come to the realization that JK is extremely talented and a world-class Kpop talent (or, as one of his senior bandmates (Suga) has declared, JK is a musical GENIUS.If you do the deep dive into BTS, you will learn that this is an opinion shared by many music professionals. (Actually, the whole group is hyper talented).When the likes of Usher agrees to collab with JK, that is telling us something.(BTW, Jungkook's actual name is Jeon Jung-guk).PS: PROPS to all the ARMYs who have commented here. IMO, they are great reps of the wonderful part of ARMY who are helpful, friendly, and positive and that is really heartwarming!

[@pamelagreenhalgh1318]

The angel wings is a "throwback" to Jung Kook in Black Swan where he wore those wings. Check it out. A revolutionary mv from a revolutionary group. They got the attention of this 71 year old professional educator and college professor. I. AM. ARMY! 💜

[@monicaidr31]

CMIIW but as an army, there are always red threads in BTS MV materialize through symbol, props, etc. In here you can see 6 backdancers which represents the 6 members and 7 including Jungkook who takes center position as main vocalist and main dancer in the group, again there are 7 fancy limos which represent 7 members. The dark angel with black wings part of BTS journey in Chapter 1 which appeared in their MV Blood Sweat and Tears, Fake Love and Black Swan. It is also part of the theory, if you know you know. And BTS always taking their performances to the next level like nobody can beat them but theirselves

[@kookie697]

Yes, 3D is good as well!! 'Seven' music video is so fun 🔥 really fun and easy song. Please check it out

its a Michael Jackson vibe for me, totally. JK is a genius, he can do it all, a very talented brother.💜

[@imajinallthepurple]

From your humble goal numbers I can tell that you have no idea what you stumbled upon here. 😂 Jungkook is the lead vocalist in the supergroup BTS which has seven members, all with their own amazing accolades on the side. The fanclub has close to 15 million members and those are just the official members! The entire fandom counts several millions more than that. We're literally all ages from 1 to 99, races, genders, nationalities, faiths,..... All brought together by seven amazing young men from South Korea with deep lyrics and all genres from neosoul to battle style rap who have fans in communities as different as metalheads, rappers, jazz lovers and more. They are the ultimate underdog story and yet they've stayed positive and charitable plus they're funny AF crackheads tbh! 😂 I highly recommend you check out Taylor Mari's Guide to BTS: The Bangtan 7 and/or just two songs to get a taste, for example Black Swan and ON Kinetic Manifesto. I promise you won't regret it! - a danish ARMY, age 48 💜 (ARMY is the fandom name, an acronym for Adorable Representatives MC for Youth. Doesn't sound quite as daunting now, does it?! 😂)

[@KOOLICIOUSFACECARD]

Hey just a little reminder: Jungkook is his FULL name, I just noticed that you put "I need more Jung!" in the title as if that like his first name and Kook is his last name, Jung and Kook are supposed to be TOGETHER, that's his entire first name. Jungkook. His last name is Jeon. In South Korea your last name goes first and your first name last. So, his name is Jeon Jungkook. Or if you want to just keep calling him Kookie (It is very much a REALLY cute nickname, a lot of reactors/people call him that lol) or JK :) I enjoyed your reaction! Today, there was a new video released on BTS' official channel BANGTANTV and it's titled "Standing Next To You-Promotions Sketch", I know you react to music, but I think it would be really fun for you to react to Jungkook's personality and get to see how he is as a person, he's just a cute, humble, goofy and happy guy.

[@xanthedanger8293]

Real quick, JK’s name is JEON (family name) and Jungkook (pronounced more like…Chungguk). In Korean name conventions, it’s not usual at ALL to take the JUNG part of his name and call him that. People do this with Kim Namjoon as well, calling him “NAM”…which just isn’t done. That’s just-wrong. It’s like talking about someone who’s named Zachary and calling them “Ary.” Or talking about someone named Robert, and calling them “Ert.”

[@drunkballerina89]

That is suuuuch a perfect explanation yes! Just informative without being disrespectful. Just a difference in culture. @mattables nicknames or shortenings we do use are Koo/kook/JK

[@MarinaEariel]

While uncommon, I've found using the first syllable happens sometimes, but with some extra syllable usually derived from one of the grammatical particles or to make the name sound like something else. Hoya for Hoseok, Namu for Namjoon, Taetae for Taehyung are examples coming to mind

[@xanthedanger8293]

@@MarinaEariel I did think of bringing up those exceptions, but to explain all of Korean naming convention seemed a bit much for a YT comment. In the case of Taehyung, “hyung” means masculine address to an older male (older brother, or close acquaintance), such a common word that it wouldn’t make sense to take Taehyung’s second familiar name as his nickname. Other syllables/sounds that make up names also just work better in social contexts, but for a vast majority of names, people are gonna be using the second syllable of the familiar name for nicknames and familiar address. “Joon-ah” and “Joon” for Namjoon, etc.

[@xanthedanger8293]

@@MarinaEariel specifically in the case of @Mattables calling Jungkook “Jung”… Jung is most associated with a surname or family name, and for the most part, it’s easier to explain that MOST Korean nicknames based on your actual name will be from the second syllable of the familiar name. The more playful examples are kind of more like deepcuts (Namu for Namjoon-namu means “tree”) and for folks who are very, very familiar with each other…friends or family members. It’s better to explain in a simpler way and let folks learn the deeper cuts over time, IMO. Just out of consideration for this gentleman avoiding more simple naming mistakes as he learns more about JK and BTS in general. :)

Some other JK songs from over the years (not including 3D and Seven, since those have been covered): There are no true MVs for these. But there is audio on KZbin and lyrics online. * I must warn you that some translations can be strange since people rush to be the first ones to post them online. There are also live performances for many of these. - Begin (a song to the rest of his BTS members who looked after him like a baby brother) - Euphoria ( the MV is connected to the BTS storyline that's been going on for years, so it might not make sense -- it's... A LOT. The full song is played in the credits) - My Time - Still with You - Stay Alive (produced by SUGA of BTS) - Fallen (cover of Harry Styles song) - Dreamers (performed for the 2022 World Cup as the official anthem -- the live performance was awesome, but look for one that is a Jungkook focus since the broadcast was kinda poorly done) Songs JK has written, but performed with all of BTS: - Magic Shop (based on the psychotherapy term for exchanging negative thoughts for positive ones and healing -- written for the fans) - Your Eyes Tell (written for a movie of the same name about a blind woman and broken man finding healing in each other
