OK. I'm IN! | BLACKPINK - KILL THIS LOVE (REACTION!!!)

[@nnn-os9pn]

plz react to more BLACKPINK

[@jeremyhwyoon7437]

Yeah, BLACKPINK... again... thx for reacting. React to their mega hit debut song BOOMBAYAH official m/v next plz.

[@himanu5625]

Yes Deffo Boombayah!

[@richardhague801]

kpop is very inventive, also as far as song structures go, there's been a trend in kpop for a while now for including a rap verse (or two) in 'pop' songs - groups are even formed with at least one rap position. in the case of Blackpink you have 2 out of 4 members that rap - Ddu Du Ddu Du (pronounced Do-do Do-do) and Kill This Love are both structured with opening verses from the two rappers followed by melodic verses from the two vocalists then a very lyrically sparse chorus - not all Blackpink songs have this exact structure. and you're correct about the fact Kill This Love had more English - this album was released just prior to their appearance at Coachella and their world tour so i think it was intentional for broader international appeal

[@wnose]

Yep, kpop is a huge testing ground for various experiments - check this out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYPZlqF3atdqiJI

[@nurulsyuhadah34]

React to BLACKPINK WHISTLE MV it got some part that mixed with country genre little bit into the song so i think maybe you gonna love it, and dont worry about the pausing we’re cool with it, love your reactions and thoughts on them and do more BLACKPINK please💕💕💕💕

[@lazerx1828]

All of BLACKPINK's songs are written by Teddy Park, he's a Korean-American Rapper/Producer who was hired by the YG company years ago, he's got a very unique style. BLACKPINK songs are known for switching up the style mid-song but it works somehow.Two songs that have country music influence in parts are "WHISTLE" (addictive hook warning!): kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnq2f5qsi9WKotE and their ballad "STAY": kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKu5g5KcrtKNrZY They also killed it at Coachella last year, check it out: BLACKPINK Coachella KILL THIS LOVE: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYLXc6aYfcZ7Z5o (btw their touring band is The Band Six, an American band, they've worked with YG World Tours for years)

[@wyvernofhefei8712]

Couldn't agree more mate. I thought I was the only guy who noticed that "country-flavored" hook in Whistle. They also got some reggaeton beat on As If It's Your Last and some dominant-phrygian mode on Boombayah that add some "middle-eastern" vibe to it.

[@jgali38]

Man I thought you broke it down pretty good, just keep doing what your doing, If you really want to trip-out They have a cover called "Sure Thing" by Miguel you won't need no captions at all you'll See what they can do to an American song. BlackPink makes any song they cover their own here's the link hope you enjoy it kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWi3fp-rfburars can't wait to see your reaction.

[@dabdub7605]

Personally I don't mind the pauses, in fact I like reactors to share their opinions on every scene they find interesting during rather than at the end esp folks who are new to kpop. Subscribed, looking forward to your next vid.

[@m.j.638]

The pauses are fine don't worry, we are here for the reactions lol. But yeah they are very much an international group, so they incorporate English in their songs a lot, some of them having versions where the rap is completely English. I would ask you to react to my favourite song of theirs (they have only 13 songs T~T, releasing a new album in March /April tho) "Don't know what to do" but there is no music video for it, just performance videos. K pop is very much different and exciting you should check out new songs too, like "Any Song" by Zico, "HIP' by MAMAMOO and "psycho" by red velvet. Other good groups are there too, dreamcatcher if you are into alternative rock kinda vibe, GFRIEND's most recent song fever is good (they are having a comeback soon), red velvet has some cute bubbly concepts and then some mature concepts like bad boy and peek-a-boo. Twice just last year had a more mature concept with "fancy". Honestly, you should check them all out but there are so many good groups and songs in K-pop. Take count that I mostly follow girl groups so there are the boy groups like EXO, BTS, GOT7, seventeen, NCT, Super Junior, ATEEZ etc. I personally like Super Junior's new song "Super Clap" definitely check that out. lol what i wanted to write was little but i wrote so much and I have more to say, but don't rush too much into k-pop enjoy it as much as you want at your own pace !! Edit: Haa I forgot to include my favourite BLACKPINK cover of "so hot", the rap there is amazing and I love their version of the song, check out the original by wonder girls too if you have time, Old 2000 k-pop with Bigbang , 2NE1 and girl's generation is amazing!

[@tiendungvu6824]

I love Super Junior's Super CLAP too!

[@Jacob-Pogicat]

Members in order of appearance: Jennie - Korean/New Zeland Lisa - Thai Jisoo (gee-su) - S. Korean Rosé/Chaeyoung - Korean/Australia

[@ubiquitous_star584]

I don’t think that pronunciation of Jisoo is helpful since it’s a soft j like jam not a hard g like goose.

[@amandaash476]

Ubiquitous_Star a g with an e behind it is usually pronounced like a soft j in the English language. There are exceptions, but that’s usually the rule.

[@San-cb9mj]

its like "tissue"

[@SweetyTen81]

Pause it anytime you want.. Its reaction all about anyway... Hahaha... Btw I loved your reaction to Blackpink.. You should get to know each of the girls. These girls rock🤘🏻 react to Blackpink "sure thing". I hope that will blow your mind. Please react to BTS too...

[@sjyrhee4550]

Really liked your reaction. Pls check out their live performance of this song at COACHELLA 2019 next. Tysm.

[@excessivegrot2643]

Came for the Bandmaid, stayed for the kpop :) things in the same wheelhouse: 2NE1 'Crush' - Big electro banger, very much proto-blackpink, Everglow 'Adios' - the current competition, not nearly as inventive but my god is it a banger

[@schizowallflower]

It's crazy how much Blackpink appeals to a lot of people that don't normally enjoy pop music. And their style of pop is closer to true pop, not bubblegum-fluff pop (which other K-pop artists like "Twice" utilize). I think may be why they're so appealing.

[@allisonbrewer8661]

You definitely need to check out their song “Whistle”, it’s low key one of my favorites. Also Jennie’s song “Solo”. Thanks for your reaction!

[@lazerx1828]

Also check out (G)I-DLE (pronounced "Idol, I don't know why), they're another girl group that also raps, very good, here's their debut hit "LATATA": kzbin.info/www/bejne/b560nGp7q9lpjNU Actually, members of the group performed with two American singers at the 2018 League of Legends World Championship, they used Augmented Reality, it's pretty cool, the AR characters have reflections on the stage and the song is very catchy, especially for a Gamer!: "POP/STARS Live: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmrSdZ-shLtmp9U

[@hanzzz5435]

Next Blackpink "Bombayah"😍😍😍😍

[@pepsm]

I love both of your reactions to BP and I have to agree that the vocal parts on KTL increase the quality of the song so much more than on DDDD but the latter is still my fav for some reason haha. One thing you didn't talk about and I'm surprised was the visuals and the decors of the MV which (to me) look more expensive than a lot of western vids. The MVS are always so important and the budget for them are crazy like hell! Also, BP doesn't use a lot of green screens, the explosion in the first chorus in KTL was indeed very real! That's why I think Kpop has the best MVs they are really beautiful. Please react to BTS too ♡

[@whojang2000]

Warning ! 1. Blackpink is very addictive 2. Once you go Blink, there's no way out

[@ShiningLight]

BLACKPINK the best ❤️ thank you for the reaction 👍

[@noodlee3]

I love listening to some bands like hard/metalcore but I subs for blackpink this is one of my few pop music playlist too

[@mohamedwashak8368]

It's the first time i find someone reacted to BP's Music and not just the Video. Blink support.

[@R_39426]

Blackpink in your area, man. 🖤💖 They are a queen.

[@outwest1014]

Their live performance at Coachella is awesome, they were the big hit of the festival. They opened with Du Duh Du, Kill this Love opened part 2. They are performing with alive band, Band 6 who is the go-to tour band for YG. Welcome to the Blink's world.

[@lazerx1828]

BLACKPINK are known for their amazing production values, which have steadily ramped up since their debut (although their debut hits are also great), this group shot to the top of the charts right out of the gate! Their company, YG Entertainment, is one of "The Big 3" K-Pop companies in S. Korea. They are a full-service company, meaning they don't "farm out" services to outside companies. They have their own in-house video production facility, they handle all filming, production, marketing and advertising. Here's the behind-the scenes of the "KILL THIS LOVE" video, the explosion in the Tomb Raider scene was real!: "BLACKPINK - 'Kill This Love' M/V MAKING FILM": kzbin.info/www/bejne/jl7Eknepas2Yh5Y (turn on the subtitles!)

[@rubyjane6721]

Listen to their other songs. :) They are quite different from the twos you are reacting. Suggestions playing with fire, Forever young(no mv, only lyrics video), as if is your last ;)

[@vincenzonathanael8084]

Please react BLACKPINK - SURE THING (COVER) & UNHELPFUL GUIDE TO BLACKPINK 2019 💥🔥

[@vipikonic6729]

React more BLACKPINK - WHISTLE MV or PLAYING WITH FIRE MV

[@amandaash476]

Please react to “Egotistic” by Mamamoo. It’s revolutionary in the K-pop world.

[@gordonfreeman1839]

The song is essentially about a toxic love that must be killed before it kills you!

[@AlisterCallaghan]

Mamamoo is a great girl kpop group they just won queendom

[@sgtbluegrass]

You may have the most honest and candid reaction I've seen so far to BlackPink. BlackPink was my gateway into KPop and I've been into it since. Pop and boy bands were probably my least favorite genre, ever. But just like you I discovered KPop is something else entirely. But unlike other reaction videos (which I like to watch to validate that I'm not the only one witnessing this phenomenon) you don't just sit there and gush over them. If you have an opinion, you state it respectfully and I get it. It might be a hook I like and you don't, but I get it. Respect. You just made me a subsciriber

[@Bannysadkosays2u]

When you say that K-pop is different, I say I totally agree. I feel like the Koreans are giving us next-level shit, and it's so fucking CATCHY, I have my favourite girl group songs swirling around in my head throughout most of my days ..... and nights. And look man, I've been hearing music for fifty-three years, and no other genre has given me the kind of intense eargasms I experience while listening to some of these K girl groups! Some of their songs literally put a smile on my face when I hear them. It's insane, and addictive. Here are a few other songs you might want to check out ..... Bvndit's "Dramatic" and "Dumb" Everglow's "Bon Bon Chocolat", "Adios", and "Dun Dun" CLC's "Me" Favorite's "Loca" (look for the dance practice) Everglow's (actually sung by Produce 48 girls, but Everglow is doing the choreo) "Rumor" (dance practice) Red Velvet's "Psycho" mv And for something more vocally amazing, try Laboum's "Turn it On" and "Firework". Mamamoo's "Egotistic", and "Starry Night" Enjoy brother!!!

[@clarisslopez08]

Everything is cool about them. Their music, their music videos, their outfits, their swag and BLACKPINK themselves. ♥️

[@mirandasaralyn]

You've mentioned in both Blackpink reactions how the structure of the song is unusual. To provide a little more context, Kpop generally does have a different structure to American pop. First, as others have mentioned most Kpop bands have at least one rapper in the group permanently so rap is more imbedded in the structure than just leaving room for a single verse for a featured rapper. Also, many Kpop songs have abrupt (even more than these) feeling change ups to the song so it feels like listening to three or four songs in one. This was made famous by Girls' Generation's "I've got a boy" all the way back in 2013 and has become a common approach in Kpop. One explanation a lot of people use to explain what "I've got a boy" was inspired by was the impatience club DJs in Korea switching rapidly between songs. It takes some getting used to but if you end up listening to more Korean music... there is so much great Korean music to discover..you may get used to it and even prefer it to the more predictable and imo overly repetitive American structure. I hope that's helpful!

[@deltadog90]

Just wanted to say, yes, pausing can be annoying and some folks do it way too much for copyright purposes only. You had several pauses but had valid points and comments which make them bearable and acceptable. I, personally want your opinion. That’s why I watch a reaction. Hopefully to see the joy or excitement in realizing how dope Blackpink is. Like you said, if you want no pauses, watch the m/v. Anyway, digging the reactions so far. Hope to see more!

[@TheGrumpyNerd]

deltadog90 still got a copyright claim lol

[@deltadog90]

Seriously?! Y?!

[@TheGrumpyNerd]

deltadog90 dunno. Thought I paused enough. Nothing was more than 29 seconds. Oh well

[@magnoliaflower1020]

I think BLACKPINK will make the Kpop more recognize after BTS started the trends. The difference between the 2 groups are girls in BP can sing and rap English as most of the members (3) are English Speaking. The girls can hold interview in any English speaking show and 3 can answer fluently. If they can come up with good content song this year soon, they will big. I will not be surprise if they will be recognize in many awards as their style is merging to near American standard but still had Kpop on it.

[@joseauxtero8089]

Do As if it's your Last of Blackpink. That's the only song of theirs in which you can really say it's KPOP (bubblegum kind of pop). I'm not really a fan of that kind of style but when I saw BP do it I fell in love with them instantly. That's actually the song that made me a blink :) thanks!

[@5ammusic]

Yes! Thank you for doing Kill This Love..

[@Short_Round1999]

That rapper is actually from Thailand originally and she knows English, and Japanese as well

[@beatrizl5585]

BLACKPINK IN YOUR AREEAAAA

[@Xtrmteen90]

Whistle, Boombayah, and their cover of Miguel's Sure Thing are definitely the next Blackpink songs you should react to!

[@kledi3817]

This song has a lot more english because they wanted it to be Coachella-ready. This song was probably made after they knew that they would attend Coachella which is why a lot of english was added obviously. I mean it's an assumption but it has more english than any other title track from Blackpink so yeah

[@lazerx1828]

Rosé, the girl with the long strawberry blonde hair, did a cover of Halsey's "Eyes Closed" at their concert: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rInQh6l3nN-ajKs and Halsey gave her props on her Instagram!

[@Fatalbonds]

I see BLACKPINK..i click

[@LordArioh]

Blackpink doesn't have a lot of songs (unfortunately), so just check 'em all out. They are all dope with no exceptions. As if it's your last is my top favorite. There are not many K-pop bands that catch my eye, yet there are few unique ones like KARD. Also AOA, their Heart Attack is what triggered my interest in K-pop. And blew my mind away)

[@yuxrakhanblinkarmy4993]

Lisaaaaa 🔥🔥❤❤

[@빈젠조]

Please react to BlackPink House pls so you can see their personality and lifestyle

[@Kaanan]

If you like beats then you should react to the Ddu Du black label remix i like that more than the original now. If you like Halsey you should also check out Rose cover of eyes closed.

[@lomahtw]

nice reaction. pausing is one of many ways to avoid copyright strike. it really depends on how often you pause during the reacting and pause at the right moments. Blackpink is getting very popular in the west or should I say very appealing to the western audience due to their music style, girl crush/bad ass concept. rumor is that they are gonna have a comeback (In Kpop world 'comeback' means return to the Kpop scene or release new songs/album since last time). one thing fans (blinks - fandom name) have been complaining about Blackpink is that their agency (YG entertainment) has never released enough songs/albums since their debut. this comeback is gonna be big as it's been way way way too long since their last release (Let's kill this love) BTW 2 of the members (Jennie and Rose) are very fluent in English, Lisa is Thai, who is also fluent in English and the only member not so is Jisoo. You can check out some unhelpful guide to Blackpink videos on YouTubbe if you wanna know more about the girls. keep it up bro...

[@hugmuffinzz6559]

Glad you enjoyed the song, and are so far enjoying the band. They are very diverse. Hope you like the rest of their music if you end up reacting to more.

[@emjayygleghorn9173]

Dude I fell down the blackpink rabbit hole last month and then found myself listening to so many different Kpop groups, one of my personal favourites other than blackpink is EXO. you should check out their song obsession!

[@jeffersondiaz6016]

subbed for honesty and realness

[@kenyedavenport8197]

Definitely subscribing, I love your reactions. Please do more Blackpink, Boombayah, Whistle and Playing with Fire are all great too

[@FebrianiNPutri]

Thankyou for ur reaction 👍

[@Jacob-Pogicat]

I think you might enjoy the kpop ggroup Dreamcatcher. They mix kpop/metal/rock similar to how Babymetal does with their kawaii-metal. I just started listening to Dreamcatcher so I may not know exactly which song to point you to, but I can tell you they are the only female group in the kpop game incorporating metal into their music. The song that got me into them was actually a DnB song called "Sleep-walking". Maybe someone else who follows DC can tell you which song to check out.

[@austenwoolf6052]

I love the pauses coz u know it's real talk

[@woywoy1234]

Queen of kpop

[@DyonBosch]

BLACKPINK 💖💖💖💖

[@TripleSomething]

K-pop is its own beast man, try and see it separate from western pop, it's wild.

[@austenwoolf6052]

Their live coachella performances is greater they do have live band along with their concert its epic

[@Ryu-sx4tz]

Dude you should check out "psycho" from red velvet its soo good

[@Tayblink]

I appreciate your reaction and commentary. You really focus on their music, sound, beats, instruments etc and not so much on their looks (like other youtubers do!) . Listen to Whistle next. Thanks

[@jendeukiegirl]

You should listen to their first song - Boombayah

[@44Jaques]

It might not be for you because its a lot heavier of a pop sound, but fromis_9's FUN or Lovebomb. They do some cool techno sounds in the back of some of their songs and they are no where near as well know as Blackpink.

[@samuelrisco2523]

Please Reaction To BOOMBAYAH & WHISTLE

[@2254narken2254]

I hate the type of people that get mad when a reactor pauses or talks, it’s a reaction, if you don’t want them talking then you aren’t watching for the reaction, with that out the way though, great video, I enjoyed your blackpink reactions, they’ve been great, keep it up

[@peterr.905]

I understand the pauses to avoid the copyright strikes, I still can't understand why they are targeting reaction videos. They added more English as they were trying to break into the American market. Personally, I prefer Dduu Dduu to this one, but all Blackpink are at a high quality. Please react to their earlier stuff Boombayah Whistle Stay Playing With fire As If it is your last As you might appreciate them more. These guys hit the ground running and set the quality standard so high I wondered how they could maintain that standard with their subsequent releases.

[@iceice5196]

Are we witnessing the birth of a new Blink here?

React to Blackpink ‘kick it’. It doesnt have music video but its dope

Everglow - Adios and Dun-Dun

YOU MUST REACT TO THEIR OTHER SONG PLEASE !! Playing With Fire Boombayah As if it’s your last And Jennie -Solo Okay here is the most unbeatable fvcking best part , you MUST watch their SBS GAYO DAEJUN 2018 Im so sure that you wont regret it !!

[@arklados3596]

3/4 of them are fluent in English and one was born in New Zealand

[@yd3990]

Lisa my bias 💛

[@BB-ot3vd]

They also have english rap version in almost all their songs, but they only use english rap version in their japanesse songs version. So everytime they release a song it will come in two languages, korean and japanesse. If you wanna react to their only english rap, here i give you the link to the most complete english rap they have from all their songs. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXKkd3iHoc2loKM , it'll be cool if you make a reaction video to it. Enjoy..

[@yen3]

Thank you for your honest reaction to Blackpink! I understand you bro, the first time I listened to this song it felt so weird for me too. Maybe because I was never into Kpop. I was one of those people who hated kpop for no reason. But Blackpink's music is not the kpop I assumed it was. I was shocked of how I weirdly like their music. Now I stan Blackpink and no other Kpop group. Of course I sometimes listen to other kpop groups cause there are a lot of good once too but my support will always be to Blackpink. If you want to listen to them singing an english song, you should react to their cover of Sure Thing by Miguel. But it would be nice if you also try to listen to their other songs like Boombayah and Whistle. Btw, my first ever seen video of Blackpink was their Kill This Live performance at Coachella. They performed it with an actual Live Band! It was dope!! You should react to that too!

[@sharasales2906]

Boombayah

[@karend1577]

This is my favorite of theirs. My other favorite is their cover "Sure Thing" by Miguel.. "Whistle" is nice. I've learned to like that song, especially the whistling part...

[@Lila_Moon]

If you are looking to expand outside of BlackPink, then I recommend (G)I-IDLE - Lion or Red Velvet - Psycho.

[@sirCharon]

I think you should react to some songs from One Ok Rock (it's a japanese rock/kinda pop band) I recommend The Beginning(older song) or maybe Wasted Nights(from new album)

[@oncebeblinkwillfoureverbeb2760]

blackpink❤️

[@paola7073]

You should react to HIP by Mamamoo they are also another female kpop group with amazing songs!

[@gericrawford1519]

Try Egotistic by Mamamoo Or Boombayah by Balckpink

[@charleskulvet4911]

"Playing with Fire" next please! Not enough people react to that, Its an underrated song. Thanks!

[@ernestrimbeck7630]

Playing with fire next please

[@pievancl5457]

You said you’re a fan of Halsey. Surprised you didn’t know she’s very good friends with Kpop group BTS. You should react to their 2 collabs- “boy with luv feat Halsey” and “suga’s interlude” which was produced by bts member Suga who also raps on it.

[@alimohd4833]

Ya.. I believe this guy is the caveman using internat.. Kikiki hahaha... Never heard bts or black pink.. So the PSY to.. So the lord MOTHER OF KPOP SNSD the song is GEE.. Never heard to.. It will be bet too

[@micsuehar]

Check out Boombayah from Black Pink. I prefer that over the Du Du song. Didn't care for that much. If you're doing Kpop reactions check out A.C.E. and their song Undercover. You actually get some electric guitar in it. They mix a lot of sounds you wouldn't expect to hear in a kpop song. By the way, you have stunning blue eyes! ;)

[@johnmatthew102]

I am with you on K-pop. I don't listen to it much but BLACKPINK has carved out a place in my heart. I can't get enough of this song. Here is a very good fancam of LKTL from Summer Sonic 2019 if you want to see them with a kickass live band. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3-YY36oas90gJI For someone who can't stop mentioning and disapproving of the pop sensibilities that Band-Maid sometimes weaves into their songs, it surprises me that you would embrace K-pop in this way.

[@TheGrumpyNerd]

John Matthew because I do like pop. And hard rock and metal. I just obviously don’t like rock/metal if it’s too poppy. Lol. I guess 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Subjectivity13]

This one's my favorite of theirs. I've had a pretty hard time finding much K-pop that I enjoy outside of this and DU-DDU-DU, but maybe it'll fit you better.
