Reacting to 정국 (Jung Kook) 'Seven (feat. Latto)' Official MV + GMA + PERFORMANCE VIDEO!

[@karlafrancis8471]

Jk's an actual menace. Like im about to lose my mind

[@atzswy]

Seven is such an amazing solo debut, I’m obsessed with everything about it💜 The song is performing so well everywhere and is breaking so many records! I felt sad for him that he couldn’t actually do his performance due to the bad weather, also he said that he was sick and his voice isn’t in its best condition but he still did amazing, he always sounds incredible he’s so talented!! So proud of Jungkook💗

[@jkmytime]

Seven broke so many records, here’s some of them: - the fastest song in history to reach 100 #1 on Itunes - debuted at #1 on Global Spotify with 15.99M filtered streams and became the biggest debut by any male artist, the biggest debut for an Asian act and the 3rd biggest debut number in history. (Jungkook is the first and only kpop soloist to debut at #1 on the global chart) - Debuted at #1 on US Spotify with 2M filtered streams (Jungkook is the first and only kpop act to debut at #1 on US spotify) - Debuted with 20M streams on spotify, becoming the 5th biggest first day number in history and the biggest first day for a kpop soloist (Jungkook broke his own record owned by Left And Right before) I’m so proud of him!:)

[@aaliyah8570]

Thank you for the reaction! 💜 The GMA concert was cancelled due to the weather, it was thunder & lightning pretty bad. They just posted the recording of the soundcheck & rehearsals.

[@jeanbudgetsinjapan4840]

They just uploaded the soundcheck. He was sick at that time but he killed it as always. He still performed for the armys though the show was already canceled because of the severe weather condition. He went to Weverse after and he was coughing a lot.

[@dorylis56]

Every grown reactors giggling and blushing, just like me lol. It is stuck in my head, making me smile and dance at random times. The vocalssss, the choreo, and then he smiles. Having a lot of fun

[@OpinionatedMatt]

The moment he comes out from the casket and she goes “omg stooooop” is so funny 😂

[@KarlaBergado]

This song sounds so good! Our JK is so grown cuz best believe my reaction when I heard the song and realised what it's about - especially the explicit version haha

[@airyfairy2396]

The BBC live!!!! and the INKIGAYO Jung Kook Encore Fancam!!!!! Those two are very nice!!!!!

[@IMxAxBUNNY]

I listened to the explicit version first. Not the clean, not the MV. I was driving. I nearly met god that day.

[@katier6051]

Anyone else notice JK's shirt fell off of his shoulder during Jimin's part of Dynamite? There in spirit lol😂

[@blarmy827]

I lost track of how many times it slid off his shoulder in all the songs lol

[@marinal.]

oh my gosh. 0.0

[@blarmy827]

28:02 not the hip thrust to the lyrics “open up say ahhh” hip thrust and then she says “come here baby let me swallow your pride” lmao he really just baepsaed us on good morning America 😂 I effing love him so so much! Not only did jungkook do a sexy swaggy fun song like this… but he also did a music video where he has an actual live interest in the mv with him…. And he’s chasing after this girl in a way that I’ve never seen any BTS member actually be able to do… I mean K-pop barriers… broken. So happy for him! Another win for BTS

[@stacy3035]

Yes loving it like you really!!!!!

[@marinal.]

gah

[@ghost.ranger1628]

He changed It"s the way that we can ride TO It"s the way that YOU can ride in explicit version.

[@cecil1108]

My baby has grown He is a man. I love his song. I can't wait for his album.

[@Rockermom59]

I enjoyed your reaction especially for the explicit version of SEVEN. It's one of the most mature reaction and comments I've heard and seen. JK does know what he's doing and he's doing it right. I'm afraid the members grew up and he's a grown-ass adult now... doing adult things! Thanks Austin. 💜

[@gloss39]

lol we all had the same reaction as you when we watched that interview. Esp when she mentioned Latto being Grammy-nominated, like JK isn't a Grammy-nominated artist himself.

[@Sarley_]

Honestly to me and that may just be because I´m older than Kookie, he will always stay the baby in the group BUT its delusiunal to thing this man isnt a grown adult and this feels like he just wants people to realise he isnt a baby anymore as there are probably lots of people pushing their prude ideas on him, which isnt right. The song is great, it can be interpreted in so many ways, and I just feel proud how well he is doing so far, he is so cute too :D

[@zaraa3803]

I think people need to stop infantilizing him, he's not a baby he's an adult and he doesn't like it when people call him a baby. It's weird to call him it, not even BTS members call him baby.

[@debhouckscraftycottage]

Jung Kook has a smash hit, that's for sure. He did a Weverse Live right after the GMA fiasco and we learned that he was actually sick and they didn't get to rehearse, but went right into "pre-recording" because they had to cancel the concert due to severe thunderstorms, and sent everyone home. Fortunately, the ARMY that camped out did get to see the pre-recording so they saw him perform, but without rehearsal I think a few things were a little off. Somewhere I saw Jung Kook telling a director, just 1 more (I think they wanted him to stop after 2 songs but he wouldn't). Jung Kook is so professional that he did amazing despite all he had to overcome (not to mention the language barrier). GMA in the studio interview they sent him to unexpectedly was a mess; no separate microphone and the interviewer translating instead of letting the translator do her job...just awful. And, I felt like they insulted him when they said Latto was a Grammy nominated artist - DUH - he is too several times over! Anyway, I'm super proud of Jung Kook. I hope he gets well soon! Also, he told us there is more coming, but he wasn't permitted to elaborate. I'm here for it all!

[@stacy3035]

You are right

[@cathydimaria6454]

So love JK when was cancelled after 3 songs due to lightning and rain he was driven around the fan in the park who didnt make in due to storms saying sorry too fans then went on weverse

[@Evelyncr2011]

I'm still in shock even though the song makes perfect sense coming from Jungkook. I think I know how those mothers feel who one day see their baby and suddenly he is already an adult man XD I keep thinking about that 15-year-old boy with the big Bambi eyes, but he's already a 25-year-old man. All of BTS's solo works have shown a much more mature and individual side and I like that too. They are mixed feelings.

[@annwashington471]

two of the dancers are actually choreographers that have worked with bts. Jimin is there with him in New York. I love the song both versions . I think he is tired of being called a baby so he showed everyone that he is a very grown man.

[@marinal.]

Hi, i am back. Good reaction, ty. This song was cute and catchy. i think he showed us some new vocal color too. He pulled a Taemin to me. He really said I AM A MAN NOT A BABY. Lord. lol. If u read the lyrics carefully the clean version not that clean. U got it off the bat. All right Austin. But when u heard the explicit version 0.0 oh hell yeah he did it. Said the f word and went high like orgasm high. 0.o eep. It's a metaphor with all the chaos around them mirroring their troubled relationship. Anitra @Saywhatreacts spotted it off the bat. DG Reacts went deep with it and i really liked his take. He was so thorough. Loved that train of thought they showed. In the explicit version Latto's part fits better for some armies. Also the lyric vid was off. He says you ride. And in the clean version we ride. Armies were camping since Mon for the Fri show. Ppl came from Brazil, Canada, LA, etc. to support him. They taped 3 songs. Euphoria, Seven and Dynamite. They had a nasty rain thunder issue so they evacuated. Jk did not really get to talk with army much. Many ppl online did not get to go in. We hope he gets more chances to interact with army. Exactly Austin he also is a Grammy nominated singer, lord. Yes, JK fits and Jimin they twinning. I should tag u on the twt posts. Looks like u might have missed them. So my moots told me they taped soundcheck and evacuated. So i am not sure if we can get better quality. Honestly all the USA channels suck at translations. Loved the choreo. =0] And he totally posted new version of the song the next day, lol. Hugs. -NYC USA 2019 Army💟 @RAHK00K_7 said on 7/14/23 Jungkook's song "SEVEN" achieved first place as the fastest song to reach a million, reaching 1 million within the first 5 minutes.

[@dardarmissesv]

I love that ‘Gravity is an army’ Now we have Karma and Gravity as senior and junior army

[@carolcrooks7018]

He faked his death 😅 Anything to get the girl 😅 Love when he fought to get of the gurney when he saw her walk by! JK shows us his goofy and sexy side! 😮

[@MarinaEariel]

My theory is we're seeing a representation of her mind. She can't take him out of her mind after the break up, and the funeral scene is the moment when she thinks she's over, but then he pops right up

[@MarinaEariel]

@@火百合-z9q I think you didn't understand what I wrote (might be a translation issue, I think English is a second language for both of us?). What I think is that the MV and the lyrics are not 100% related. As often happens with BTS songs.... I believe what we are seeing is not real, but it is "all in her head", on a similar concept as in "Left and Right". Every time she "sees" him during her day to day life, he's not actually there. Just like the natural disasters are not there, they're a metaphor for her tumultuous thoughts about him: she can't get him out of her head. When she imagines him "dead", is a symbol of her thinking she's already moved on, she's finally over him. But it doesn't happen, she's soon back to thinking about him. And at the end she decides on giving the relationship another chance. It was said on the early press releases Han So Hee was the main character, so this makes a lot of sense to me!

[@terebinthias]

I like the song and I think it’ll continue to do phenomenally on the charts. He sounds great, as always. I do wish he’d had a hand in writing it, because I prefer hearing his thoughts on things and he’s such a beautiful songwriter. If he wants to write about sex that’s awesome, but I do wish it were him. I love the choreography, too! JK himself is lovely and oof are his dancers distracting or what? I absolutely despise the music video. As someone who was stalked by a relentless ex and then gaslit by all my friends and family because “it’s so romantic!” - no. I can’t see anything other than a girl who tells him to go away repeatedly while he shows up in her life over and over again until she gives in. It’s not a narrative I want to continue to see in pop culture at all. The Notebook, countless other movies with similar plot lines set up as ~super romantic - I hate them all. I’ve had other ARMY tell me it’s a joke, it’s meant to be funny and over the top, etc, but that’s how you normalize toxic behavior. I understand other people won’t see it the same way and I respect everyone’s right to enjoy it, and I still love and support JK. I’m just really disappointed they went there in a way that is clearly coded to be “cute and romantic” at the end. That said, I’ll continue to support Kookie and the song itself. I’m glad it’s doing well and I’m glad he’s expressing himself in whatever way he wants to. I just hope we get to hear more of his own songwriting in the future because I have a feeling a sexy song actually written by JK would blow this out of the water.

[@blarmy827]

I’ve had stalkers and Abusive controlling exs , been SA’d and luckily for me it doesn’t bother or trigger me at all.. mainly bc I think about their culture, their kdramas and the extreme over the top behavior especially satirical which is what they grew up with ya know … and knowing jungkook and his intentions… I mean jungkook probably knows better than anybody what it feels like to be stalked at his home, his gym, ppl calling his phone and has expresses it making him uncomfortable…. And asking ppl to respect him as a person… so the fact that it so extra and jungkook … any kind of negativity towards it just never even crossed my mind. I trust JK and know the man he is. Jungkooks actual album will be written by him… with other ppl I’m sure.. but this was just a song that got sent to bighit… he heard it and LOvED the sound of it…. The fact that it’s mature in context didn’t deter him bc he said he wanted to show a different side of himself.. and hey… I support that. The man’s an adult .. and had a blast making it and the whole experience.. so that’s really what matters imo. So I’m sorry that the mv affected you in a way that won’t go away, and I’m sure jungkook would be the first person to say not to watch it… bc he respects other ppls choices to support or not support different aspects of him and his art… and all he can do is make choices and roll with it! I’m so excited for his solo album bc he takes risks, does something ppl aren’t expecting.. and has the strength in character to understand not everyone is going to support it bc it’s a bold move lol always fun seeing new sides of the members this way.

[@stacy3035]

Atleast it brings in serious conversations that needs to be known , thanks for letting us know there is a toxic and gaslighting happening to women or anyone , in this everything has duality just like the song lyrics express something on contrary the mv has shown not that serious acting . Anyways be safe and healthier sending lots of love to the op and the comment above.

[@Angelica-zu2rh]

The song is a bop, it's such a shame for the GMA ☹️ and just wanna add that you hair are amazing lol

We've missed you Austin. I feel in a minority, in the sense that JK is 7 years older than me. When i got into bts he was already 20. He has not been a baby to me 😆

[@Lilithnunacarrot]

An all English album guys!!!!

[@lela1002]

39:13 your blinking here was comedic perfection 🤣

[@lela1002]

the way you were analysing the first few lines made me giggle and I was just waiting to see your reaction to the explicit version ahahaha 17:42 I've actually noticed quite a few similarities in Jimin's (FACE) style and Jungkook's promotional photos etc. like the pic of him looking up in the gray suit. Jimin has basically the same picture for FACE. But they have said before that they have similar taste. Also it's so cute how you were like don't tell everyone Jimin is in town ahahaha because we all already knew and have been wondering what he/they did/filmed in NY

[@evechime]

❤❤❤ JK has a great voice!

[@sandradewi1377]

Long time no see Austin ☺☺ you look so beautifull 🥳 thank you for your reaction 💖💖💖

[@13Indigosoul]

Everyone that watches seems to miss the parts where he is being carried away on a stretchers but still singing the song and then he sees her and wants off of that stretcher to go after her. Then later in that rain he is swinging from that post and is blown away. Supposedly that is how he died...but then he comes back still singing. The entire time she is trying to get him to go away in that laundrymat and is frustrated on that train and then he comes back at the funeral. She just throws her head back with a sigh.

[@Bren.30]

Esperaba con ansias tu reacción a Seven! Gracias Austin 😊💜

[@OpinionatedMatt]

7:40 I get him honestly, it’s Han Sohee

[@IMxAxBUNNY]

One of the members said something about how even when they’re are 60 JK will will still be really annoying and that’s kinda what’s going on lol. Like if you are mad or stressed he is going to do THE MOST for no reason, just to make you happy. He’s basically a golden retriever personified.

[@carolcrooks7018]

Suga said that! He also said he hopes JK never changes. I agree with that.

[@blarmy827]

It was the same day that he assumed someone was either jhope or jungkook… bc they were being “extra and annoying” we know how much yoongi loves hobi… but the pride yoongi always shows for jungkook is the cutest and most adorable thing I’ve ever heard !!! I think “annoying” means “precious” or “endearing” to yoongi … and those feelings annoy him 😂

[@opaquejimin]

We don't know why Jimin is in New York but people are assuming he's there to spend time with Jungkook during his promotions.

[@leastnext-uf6rt]

Ahhh so happy watching this! I thought u forgot dynamite! Thankfully u did not hehe yes this might be the most radio friendly out of all d solo releases & gp might really like this so much. So happy for jk i dont mind if this is the path he chose. All of them definitely have different flavors & colors & preferences! Just d fact that all these 7 diff men is part of 1 group is insane!

Here’s the tea- They recorded sound check instead of performance because of the storms. It was like 630 am or something crazy. He was missing his rehearsal. You know how he is. Also- he’s sick! He was getting IVs and “shots in his butt” right before hand. He was coughing after during his Weverse live. He did so well even through the circumstances.

[@devronl08]

The lyrics change also in the explicit version from “It’s the way that we can ride” to “It’s the way that you can ride” but the video you used didn’t have that change. Minor change but still it’s a difference 😂

[@13Indigosoul]

You should watch the dancing parts. It isn't bad but they do a great job. They show no skin.

Yes, Juju Chang is Korean-American and can speak Korean. Her translation was very basic.

The GMA interview was as disappointing as 90% of the interviews K-pop acts get in the West… Hosts don’t really give a damn, just the broadcasts care cuz of the engagement they bring. Really disappointing.

[@blarmy827]

Lol this interview was actually totally random and improvised bc they had to cancel the performance in Central Park bc of the lightning and thunder storming… so he went from soundcheck to the studio even tho it wasn’t planned so it was a bit chaotic… but I’ve learned to expect nothing from these interviews other than the boys being cute and too talented to be speaking to these ppl 😂

[@MarinaEariel]

​​@@blarmy827he interview was planned. They usually do them outside (the interviewer even mentions this at the start). They had to move it inside and that might have caused the audio issues, but I don't think the questions were unplanned, just boring
