➫ HI!
I am an actor and content creator with Hollywood credits including roles on Lucifer (Netflix), Starlight Christmas (Hallmark), JT Leroy (Universal Studios), etc. In this channel, I offer insight to Kpop performances using my 10+ years of training in dance, acting, singing and overall performance. In dance, my forte are contemporary and musicals and have done most of my performances in theatre. Although my channel is mostly known for dance analysis, I am currently inactive in the dance community.

[@CLS-pn7il]

Jimmy himself said that when he went to hug Tae after the performance he could feel his heartbeat through his back!

[@JeffAvenue]

That choreo is TOUGH so I get it! :)

[@dabyduran9039]

I also noticed by the questions from the interviews that BTS is taken more seriously

[@JeffAvenue]

Yup! Totally!

[@gguksmole]

Jungkook killed everyone with that bridge 👁👄👁

[@JeffAvenue]

The thing about it is that it’s so unexpected in a song like this. But yes his vocal is out of this world! Haha 😆

[@girlwithluv_and_ugh9975]

The producers were saying that this was the first time they have dedicated a whole show to one guest. That’s amazing. Seeing BTS on American tv is almost like a normal thing now lol. And I love it. The Bighit commentary video was really good. I love seeing the creative process. I listened to those songs with even more appreciation after that. Could’ve sworn that I heard the gospel choir singing in korean for the song Friends.

[@nikic1405]

Girl WithLuv_And_UGH ! They likely did. They did for Ego.

[@JeffAvenue]

Yes like I mentioned it means a lot for them to do that! 😆 so glad BTS is getting the treatment they deserve!

[@fruehlingsbotin]

You can see the gospel choir sing in korean in the documentary, i think it was for we are bulletproof. I think they did all the choirs and instruments for the whole album with the people you see in the documentary :) Probably even more people that we didn't even see, like some guitarists and stuff.

[@hmaroni9572]

It was also the most expensive episode ever

[@aidaronquillo1585]

Also, BIGHIT is giving credit to whom it is due, they placed value on the people who took part in the making of this album not only BTS

[@JeffAvenue]

Yess lots of people behind BTS that makes them the success that they are. Their whole team is genius!

[@karenwaulk522]

The Jungkook solo proves our connection with the angelic realm...it literally takes your breath away. I can imagine being in the presence of an angel when I hear his singing. Unreal performance!! It's definitely "ON" now (their presence can't be turned "off" now) They are kings on the world stage! I love it! Thanks for this video!

[@dilfhunterthv01]

I feel so sad that Jin has still been saying that he doesn’t think he should dance or that he is bad at dancing. He is so great and I can see how much he has improved, how hard he’s been working to become a better dancer and I’m so proud of him. Kim Seokjin is a amazing dancer and performer. 💜💜💜💜💜🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@JeffAvenue]

He is not bad at dancing AT ALL. Not just anyone can keep up with the likes of JHOPE and Jimin, so for all of them to blend together is a testament that they’re all amazing dancers! 😊

[@hmaroni9572]

I am so proud of him!

[@carolnikolov8469]

He dances perfectly like the rest. I don't understand where this comment comes from

[@sel9070]

I loved hearing the other dancers hype them up at the end.

[@shashajeonvaishujk5612]

*Mr.JUNGKOOK* 😍😍😍😍😍😍 *I can't stop watching that bridge part , literally the epic one in ON MV to me...*

[@JeffAvenue]

Can’t blame you! Lol

[@ByKlerneps]

Agree with everything you said! Watching the documentary also made me emotional. You're right, it's so refreshing to hear positive comments about them from fellow artists. I love how the commentary are from musicians who barely know them/heard of their music but remained open-minded and felt the sincerity behind it. I'm glad that it highlighted BTS' music and how it's driven by the members' passion and sincerity, and as you said, without all the other aspects (like ARMYs). Sometimes I feel like media focus too much on the "crazy" fanbase or the promotion (those things) that they forget/not realize that BTS didn't get this big overnight, that they didn't have this many fans before. And that gaining popularity really wasn't/isn't their priority. They just keep on making music that speaks to all of us and that's how ARMY keeps growing in number. Ah, that was one of the best videos I've watched 💜 Also, Min Yoongi you dangerous man 😌✊😂 I was so entranced by the choreo I almost forgot that they're singing live 😂 ha, this album really.. I love it more each time I listen to it. Have you listened to the whole album already? (last time you said you haven't listened to Filter yet haha)

[@JeffAvenue]

I think people who genuinely love music will always have some sort of appreciation for new things - that’s why those guys on the commentary had so much positive things to say about BTS. Genius recognizes genius :) I have listened to the album once! Haha. I was actually filming a reaction but halfway through I realized that they’re going do most of these songs at the concert so I think I’ll reserve my reaction for those. I also felt a bit awkward doing a first listen cause it was just mainly me bopping lol 😂

[@ByKlerneps]

@@JeffAvenue Amen! Hahaha I can imagine. Ah yes, reacting to the live performances and would be great :) I hope they'll include the subunit songs in the concert!

[@btscuteuy7198]

I love your reactions, I would love to see "Bts carpool karaoke" on the KZbin channel - The Late Late Show with James Corden - it's great, very funny and their voices are very well appreciated. Regards!

[@JeffAvenue]

Thank you for watching! I would’ve done a reaction on it but in the past, Corden’s videos (non-performance) have been blocked worldwide. So I didn’t want risk it :)

[@btscuteuy7198]

Jeff Avenue Ok, no problem. I understand, thanks for answering. :)

[@fannyrivas8165]

You waiting for the "Jimin's accident" to happen is so me! Hahahaha so sad it didn't :( It was a great performance! 💜

[@JeffAvenue]

LOL 😂 it’s ok we needed a break

[@magfreedom]

Thank you so much Jeff for all the details & technical explanations you give on dance moves and how hard they are and why. As a non dancer myself, but having a big (huge actually, lol!) soft spot for Jimin's dancing, you help me put words on what he makes me feel. I've just discovered your channel, so I'm watching you & BTS every morning from France. Your infectious smile puts me in a good mood too.

[@noorhidayati4018]

So basically the choreography of their song is hard and harder wkwkwkkw

[@JeffAvenue]

Haha YES pretty much!

[@aidaronquillo1585]

You're doing it right and using the right words one of the channel with hip hop dancers did mention the krumping step they performed

[@yoongimc4299]

Jungkook nailed it 😍✋

[@ostensibledichotomy]

I think the best part of the reaction, other than your genuine appreciation, is your view that the timing of this album is perfect because the public is primed and as ready as possible to appreciate the full experience of BTS. I certainly hope so. These young men and their many many teams of various types of support, have worked so hard and richly deserve heaps of appreciation. =)

[@JeffAvenue]

Yeah I think everyone is playing for the long run. When they resigned the new 7 year contract, that entailed a 7 year content plan. Everything is managed to T! 😊

[@doraaaa0613]

prowess is a great way to describe that bridge

[@JeffAvenue]

Yassss!

[@KorrieRose]

Edit: Omg baby ARMY days... It's Jiminie who has the black belt in Taekwondo and JK with a red!! I'm pretty sure JK has a black belt in Taekwondo, if i'm not mistaken, so that boy can kick pretty damn high

[@laviniamaria9259]

No he has red belt

[@ameliahust3422]

Hi Jeff, Loved your in depth reaction. I love your insight and genuine fandom of BTS. I loved Suga's move as you pointed out. Mr Suga does have some moves.... For someone who was told no dancing involved. He is awesome. I also love Jimine and Tae high fivin after the leap. The vocals were fabulous. How they keep on pitch while doing the choreo to that level blows me away. Thank you for your unique reaction. I love them.

[@JeffAvenue]

Thanks for watching Amelia! :) these guys are all so talented they keep surprising it every time!

[@ycoppola]

I haven't watched it but I so agree with what you stated. The world, politics, is so going backwards. I'm 65+ and I cannot understand why we are not going more forwards. I love BTS for their ability to draw all colours, cultures and ages together. This is how we should be at this stage in the human life. There is no colour or culture more superior than the other. We need to understand this before certain humans destroy the colour and cultures of the world!! I hope I can watch it soon!!! BTS, is phenomenal and proved many times that they can carry a show from beginning to end. Listening to your thoughts, I have started to notice that they are morphing as each other, they are so keyed into one another that they can move and perform as though they are as one in their transitions and vocals!!!

[@JeffAvenue]

Well said! Definitely worth the watch! :)

[@aidaronquillo1585]

I am just wondering how they would pull this off in the concert and their first comeback stage

[@evelinramosmiranda619]

i'm thinking that maybe in the rosebowl concerts they are going to have a few of the lab dancers, but i don't know about the other concerts

[@JeffAvenue]

Would most likely be their dancers from their past tours.

[@fruehlingsbotin]

They always have a whole dance crew with them on tour afaik. You always see them when they perform Fire or Not Today. But i'm curious about the music shows too.

[@hmaroni9572]

Same as they pulled off dionysus on every concert last year with all the props and dancers

[@aidaronquillo1585]

I just watched their music show performances of black swan and ON, this is probably how they will do it in the concert. The marching band was what I was after, a real one would be more epic

[@lisalee6859]

Thank you for this, Jeff. I always love listening to your reactions and your explanations and comments on their dance moves. Keep it up

[@JeffAvenue]

Thanks Lisa! 😊

[@brendashelton6146]

Yes Jungkook s prowess...correct word. Unbelievable! Luv your sharing of dance structure. 💜🔥

[@airyfairy2396]

Your video and analysis deserve more views👏👏 You are one of my favorite BTS reactor. Thank u for your deep and kind comments! 💜

[@JeffAvenue]

Aww thank you so much! That’s so cool! :)

[@roufang6538]

really really love your reactions!!!! thank you for always bring us interesting insights. and sure it's always cute seeing you flustered

[@Wolves132]

Thank you for putting more contents. Miss you reactions! God Bless always!!Our boys are really taking over and taking seriously

[@Reise-ny1hj]

Awesome reaction again and explanation 😀

[@diyy_8062]

Congratulations Jeff for 150k subs😍 Always waiting for your new video

[@rezzanuranissa4495]

yes, they killed the performence:( and about documentary, i felt the same way huhuhuhu it got me really emotional, cri in korean:(

[@JeffAvenue]

Righttt? I didn’t expect to be emotional watching a commentary video lol

[@clarissajanemagtoto5174]

Love your videos. ♥️

[@ecusileharalu8476]

It's already been a year but I'll just comment😂 when you said "your blood goes to your feet" I felt that once, like I did stomping once and 2-3 times a group dance and It feels like.. ughhhh.. like all the blood is sucked out of your body.. and for the stomping... It was like on every beat of the words (we did on a Bible Verse which had like THE longest verses ever) and we did it for a competition, we made all the moves by ourselves and some inspo from YT. We did win 1st place but.... Oh gosh...😵 We had to recite the verse on beat and there was no mic so it had to be double clear and loud. It's like singing and dancing at the same time... Omg....

[@Pepite-21-]

Jimin numero 1❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@cherbear3965]

Thank you so much for your insight on the choreo! I used to dance in high school (just for school events, not seriously) and I totally got flashbacks to that weird tingly, like buzzing feeling you get in your feet after a tough dance LOL. Also I feel the same way about the commentary video, wow I love BTS so much 🥺

[@JeffAvenue]

Yesss that tingly feeling! It’s like you need to shake it off so the blood spreads back throughout your body lol i

[@SilverSeaOT7]

I am so happy to find you. Love to find someone who appreciates dance so much. I took dance for ten years as a child. Enough to develop a little bit of grace but a huge amount of appreciation for the art form. You always stop on the parts that I love and everyone else just glosses over. New subscriber. I was wondering who was dancing with them. It is The Lab dance crew. (So, your comment about being a battle makes sense.) They were in the music video and Grand Central. It was choreographed by a young woman (19 at the time) named Sienna Lalau who is a Lab dance member. She also danced with them. Pretty sure she is in the very center shots of the beginning formation of Grand Central and Kinetic Manifesto.

[@NinaPB]

That move you’re saying is in between beats hits on the lyrics instead and that’s why it works so well. Kinda like how Jimin hits his moves on the high hat during the dance break. It adds so many layers when they can switch where they hit the moves.

[@JeffAvenue]

Very true! Love the choreo so much :)

[@edwinatakasaki2258]

BTS did 3 or 4 full takes of this performance; if you notice, there is a clock behind and in Suga's solo, the clock doesn't sync with the rest of the performance. ARMY has said Suga's solo was from take 2, the rest of the performance was from take 3. I can't imagine they managed to do another full take, perhaps they did?? Anyway, crazy props to BTS, no one else does it like them and thank you Jimmy Fallon for setting up a proper stage in NYC for a performance of this song.

[@mtlosborn]

Jeff you're right! This was Jimmy Fallon, his show and network putting an exclamation point after BTS' name and their talent undeniable in one go. Simply unfathomable! This is why I am OT7. This is one of those songs where I just go from one member to the next. It's a wonderful frustration to have. 😁

[@JeffAvenue]

Haha OT7 is right!!

[@_nxdh_3882]

the dance practice ver is way more f***kin' good and satisfying tho as you can see the whole movements do reaction to those too would be recommended😁

[@cherylivi7262]

I live u because u ALWAYS give all the boys props individually & especially happy when u uplift Tae! He doesn’t get the praise that he deserves

[@ostensibledichotomy]

Prowess was the perfect word. =)

[@JeffAvenue]

Did i pronounce it right though? Lol 😂

[@ostensibledichotomy]

@@JeffAvenue A+

[@cynddiiteng66]

❤️❤️😍😍Yup A+++ lol !!! Really love these dancing movements!!! It’s not easy as like wat u said !! Hahaa Nd to practice veriiii hard ... n I ❤️the way u praised them esp jimin ( hahaa u seem so shy lookin at him ) n jk !!!

[@JeffAvenue]

Aww thank you so much! Lots of kind words in there! 😊

[@ejadsexpressions]

This song and all the performances it entails is a whole publicity package for BTS in itself, I'm tellin' ya. It's also like a war cry to announce and claim their rightful position in the global entertainment industry, by telling their naysayers to bring it on, they are ready for anything thrown their way. Great reaction as always. I enjoyed the little technical insights you gave, I always learn something from your videos.

[@JeffAvenue]

Thank you for watching! This is definitely BTS trying time show the world what they can do. They have the stage. Now, like RM said, it’s bring it ON. :)

[@minhani9083]

i like u comment & reactions to bts nice keep going jeff 👍👍👍

[@JeffAvenue]

Thank you!! :)

[@ParkDany]

Can't wait to see your reaction to ON official vid

[@JeffAvenue]

Just uploaded it :)

[@gabbyc3585]

Once again love it how u highlighted the difficulties in the moves. They always make everything look so easy. U should watch the Mnet comeback of this performance... Sleeveless Jimin is back!!!!!!!

[@JeffAvenue]

Ok perfect! Wasn't sure which one to watch for the comeback kshow performances so this is helpful! thanks!

[@heyitsmejp]

I don’t know if you realized but they added another concert date for May 5 at Rose Bowl, and they’re doing the presale thing again next week.

[@JeffAvenue]

Damnn. I didn’t know that! But good for them! It’s gonna be KILLER

[@nikic1405]

I was thinking of your earlier reaction to the MV today as I listened to the bridge and thought, “Wait no that’s not a belt. It’s a perfect blend.” I just screamed, “Yes!” when you mentioned it here.

[@nikic1405]

Battle choreography YES

[@nikic1405]

You can always tell when V is feeling himself when he chews non-existent gum.

[@nikic1405]

Jimmy said that when he hugged V, he could feel his heart pounding in his back.

[@JeffAvenue]

Haha ya I had to correct myself about the belt part. Got too excited during the MV :)

[@nikic1405]

Jeff Avenue Nah, you’re exactly right, though. That vocal is ridiculously difficult. Especially after dancing so hard like that. By the way, I love your reactions. Thanks for being genuine and smart and accessible. You are killing it.

[@richbee226]

Bts signature choreo is KICK and JUMP

[@JeffAvenue]

HAHA pretty much!

[@jeanmaypabion5806]

I have noticed your channel just recently. I love how detailed you are when reacting to every videos you made. I am an ARMY and I love how you point out every single detail. I also watched your videos reacting to other kpop artist such as Seventeen. I hope you can react to GOT7 YOU CALLING MY NAME also, it's a BOP and one of kpop most underrated song.

[@vvnssch]

Tae.. hold me tight.. pleaseee.. 😶😶😶 Yoongi is taking over.. this rude guy keeps on taking me.. 😍😍😍😍

[@rebecaa3422]

fun fact:Jimmy ‘ s bias is also Jimin❤️😂, they are so fun in interviews

[@ziajefferson8216]

I'm really sorry and I Know it's irrelevant but I can't keep up with my excitement.. So I was thinking that if You've watched or you're watching the BTS ON premier ( original MV ) right now but I highly recommend it...I just watched it and I feel like I've seen premier of one of a kind blockbuster movie 🔥🔥🔥 (and don't forget to bring some popcorn with ya) . . Ppl who're scrolling down ~ YOU NICE KEEP GOING..

oh my God the volume difference between your videos and the commercials got me going deaf

[@WhiteDove7]

They uploaded the dance choreography of ON. Check on that, i think you’ll like it more.

[@JeffAvenue]

Will I?? Did I make the wrong decision? Lol it was a tight race. I haven’t watched it so I might come back around to it after all the content this coming week

[@WhiteDove7]

Jeff Avenue no what i mean is you will be able to see the details more since the camera in the choregraphy video is fixed. 😁

Can you do a album review, at least one by one By the way loved what you're wearing 😍

[@JeffAvenue]

Aw thank you! I may not do the album review cause I tried and it felt like I was just literally bopping the whole time lol. Don’t know if anyone would actually watch that hah. I also thought they’d be doing them at the concert so I think I’ll reserve my reaction for the live performances:)

[@JUNIOR-gi9hj]

Jefffff,,,, I so want you to do a dance cover!!

[@JeffAvenue]

I so would! Just don’t have time to go to a studio :(

[@annique9186]

I loved BWL, but this is a battle song, and I think that now is an appropriate time for them to release something like that, especially with the American elements the song has. It feels like they're once and for all proving to whoever has doubted them or not taken the seriously (90% of Western media I'm looking at you) that they ARE world class performers who deserve every single bit of praise that they receive

[@JeffAvenue]

PREACH IT!

[@sinonwolfz]

Listen closely you can hear the march/background dancers hyping BTS up.

[@siutalccc]

i like dance practice more in terms of seeing all the dance details

the dance in the chorus is timed off the cadence of the chant in it. listen to the vocals instead of the music timing and watch it then. you will see it...
