The Kulture Study: BLACKPINK "Kill This Love" MV

[@joc.4992]

Jennie - Tomb Raider Lisa - Suicide Squad Rosé - Fast And Furious Jisoo - Hunger Games

[@Strawhat_Kal]

plz just let suicide squad die

[@goinbulilit3846]

Hahahaha you nailed it

[@visit4873]

Lisa should be given a role in SS2

[@loreanaguinan6189]

Jisoo game of thrones

[@cacle4615]

This is so helpful. Blackpink got my attention with this song, was curious to know who is who, your creative comment helped a bunch. Thanks friend :)

[@yasminejaji911]

The fact that his face changed from stoic at first then to the uwu when Jisoo appeared looking like a goddess, tells a lot of things. Intellectuals can relate lol

[@xianzhou4755]

pd uses they/them pronouns!

[@RenataSantiago7]

jisoo's part is just incredibly beautiful. if you look at it again, it forms a shape of an eye, and there's this fire ball behind her. and she sings something about crying fire from both eyes, so I guess thats its. it's not just gorgeous, is powerful

[@pink_kpop709]

i thought it was blood not fire?

[@lupita5155]

I thought the fire ball behind her was the sun and that she was in water (￣ω￣;)

[@mastercutter7676]

wowow i've neverrrr noticed that niice

[@brianyang627]

Right when she says she’s crying tears of blood the camera shift into her wearing the headpiece which symbolizes the blood on the eye.

[@bryanxu988]

omg， niceee

[@christianasmemories]

2:54 finally someone acknowledge jisoo, that's is my favorite part of the whole song

[@Dominicn123]

Lol i know right i thought he was gonna let out a little queef hehe

[@sheFEISTY.43110]

Someone said Jisoo visual art could be that of a crying eye, which I never thought about.

[@BooBooBear4U2]

Yes. Jisoo part is that of crying bloodshot eye. At first, Jisoo is a beautiful reflection of herself in ones eye. Then it changes to being a bloodshot eye from the painful heartbreak. Not too many people catch this.

[@goinbulilit3846]

@@BooBooBear4U2 yup. .its a great and well done MV deserves an award.

[@lolosh99]

Hmm i thought it was like she is drowning

[@uncertainsubscriber4815]

@Roxette Maddela me too.

[@nothing45678]

Yeah I noticed, that's cool

[@irlreii7884]

Youre the only reactor i trust because you love jisoo, the taste you have. Your reactions are always so honest and your point of view is alwyas so so interesting!!

[@gusy629]

empressofheart I agree. He’s a real deal.

[@shaynekhylemartin2201]

we love a jisoo fan

[@izonexbae]

i can’t f*reaking* believe THIS WAS A YEAR AGO WTENDINDLBD

[@100peanut7]

Maybe I’m reaching here but I interpreted Jisoo’s initial scene differently. She says “look at me look at you” and then sings about “tears of blood” and this is represented in the MV, with the sun in which she’s in front of being the pupil. We can see the outline of the upper part of the eye, and then the piece that is added around her head is the actual “blood”.

[@hang_207]

Jisoo's vocal, Jisoo's first part and of course Jisoo's visual. She is amazing! I'm not even a fan but I think in this MV she's the best.

[@lacymoody540]

also,,,your jisoo reaction,,,the biggest mood. a goddess????

[@juno1765]

Him watching the mv:😶 *jisoo appears* him: 😍

[@zoeywoaah]

Such a great feeling when your fave is Jisoo biased too!

[@XYtr4]

Wow you just said everything that i thought of the song. And JISOOOOOOO

[@raulgillette3669]

Everytime i hear Jisoo vocals i get chills all over my body, her voice has something special, i don't know what it is, but is very VERY *VERY* good!!

[@kyoujinkrista2]

I agree with it not feeling complete, I do think it works much better as a live performance for some reason.

[@babymetalic]

ur my favorite reaction channel bc u actually go in depth on the symbolism and actually teach me stuff i never even noticed before lmao

[@ignatiuschua5268]

Jisoo part is an eye. The ornament on her head symbolises the blood tears.

[@poppagBallZ97]

Ignatius Chua wow

[@9sulanstar524]

the way you react to Jisoo is so precious, I am truly thankful that you are appreciating such an underrated gem

[@glengaspan4265]

Finally PD! I've been waiting for you to react to this. Edit: Jisoo's parts are jaw dropping to me. She is such a goddess.

[@Veralidainai]

I wish more people discussed the symbolism in Kill This Love because it's all so interesting and it's *there* just like it was in Ddu-du Ddu-du.

[@lelouchvibritannia1788]

There's no payoff for devoting the time and energy in decrypting the symbolism in blackpink music videos I think.

[@valerie8679]

Seeing a jisoo stan always makes me so happy cause we're so few.... Thank you ♥️

[@aevelaryon]

same girl

[@vivianaq2cnopa]

Same 🤗

[@ruzzelreptin4166]

i love her

[@KhairulFadzlyAKarim]

In Coachella KTL was used to restart the show back after the brief intermission where the band play instrumental while the girls rest and change wardrobe.

[@shaynekhylemartin2201]

AND THIS IS WHY I LOVE PD. HE DOESNT OVERLOOK THINGS. MOST OF THE REACTORS ONLY HAS THEIR EYES ON JENNIE AND LISA. BUT PD APPRECIATES DEEP MEANINGS AND HE LOOKS AT THE GIRLS EQUALLY. NUMBER 1 REACTOR FOR MW

[@lnarenkumar2327]

PD goes by They/Them

[@ChriH.]

I feel like this entire album was for jisoo, her voice fit everything so perfectly her parts are perfect for her.

[@Rae-lj2wg]

I LOVE that PD is the only reactor who got the symbolism to Lisa's part because no one else got that.

His reaction when it comes to Jisoo appearing and singing :))))) I can feel you bro

[@lanasummer1609]

I got the pink Japanese sweater and it's and it's sooooo cute also, I was patiently waiting for this reaction and you never fail to amaze me with your way of thinking and interpreting songs. Love it as always! Keep it up PD!

[@woojinbloo44]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!! Out of ALL the reaction video I've seen, you are the only one who had the same insight as mine. This song is heavy on trumpets and horns and for me it signifies that SOMEONE is coming, SOMEONE prominent and important, like royalties. I also imagine this song as a perfect opening for their concerts. Pretty much like Bling Bling of iKON (which is trumpet/horn heavy also)(they also use that song as their opening in concerts), I believe BP's producers intentionally made a song which has that kind of vibe.

[@clairecm98]

Jisoo's scene is actually supposed to represent an eye and the pink glass is the eye becoming bloodshot from crying

[@razw8200]

'Hope not' and 'kick it' are my fav songs in their new mini album

[@hidden6534]

MAN I LOVE that, I'm kind of a BLACKPINK stan and I've seen a lot of reactions but THAT is one true, full, deep reaction! Love it, it's the first time I've seen that deep an interpretation and that professional a reaction. You rock :)

[@BuffySwartz]

I’m in love w/BLACKPINK! These angels always keeping me happy! Pure perfection. Can’t wait for next year now, or do we get more BLACKPINK this yr.💜🖤💖❤️🥀🇰🇵🇰🇷🇯🇵

[@purpleyeseo9519]

I wasn’t in love with Kill This Love at first but watching a live performance it feels like it’s just.. so much more. It goes wayyy harder live

[@chelsj.7859]

“tell me it’s not over” “i feel like its too short” couldn’t agree more

[@pipuchi]

THIS KINDA VIDEO REACTION THAT I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR! really smart PD ❤️ waiting for more videos! 🔥🔥🔥

[@riskidarmawan4353]

you right this song is giving you "hype" for an opening album or concert cause the horn sound giving you thrill that make you ready for war

[@riskidarmawan4353]

and yet YG is always giving huge budget for an MV 10/10 for MV

[@lazerx1828]

You nailed it about the missing bass in the drop. It almost feels like a song from a musical. It's the same feeling when you're waiting for the big drop in "As If It's Your Last". This is closer to Rock/Pop than a dance bop.

[@AngstBoyDylan]

"OMG DOES JENNIE HAVE BANGS?!?" yessir and we're living for it

[@Guthwulf11]

great analysis as always. I think you're totally right and you will love the second song as follow up to "Kill This Love". Actually I prefer to listen to the whole EP in the correct order of the tracks. No shuffling. "Kill This Love" needed a few listens for me to understand what they did with the chorus, the base line, the surprising slow pace and why they ended it at that point. But it really grew on me. I love it now. It is more of an "anthem" than a traditional "song", different and like you said somewhat risky. And what an amazing show opener (for Coachella?) this will be. Gets the crowd really going. It already showed at their comeback stages, when the audience went crazy. It also perfectly allows the audience to sing along in the chorus and make it into a joint event. So in the end I'm really happy with it. And the music video is stunning. When Rose crys in the car... awwwwww.... And I will be never able to watch or play Tomb Raider again without regretting that it is not Jennie who plays Lara Croft.

[@nmtrules96]

You made an excellent point! I was also really let down by how abrupt the song ended, but as someone who’s going to their concert in May, I am hyped to see Kill This Love be the opening song. The marching band vibe and the build up is perfect for that!!

[@youneedmoresoyeoninyourlif9096]

Jisoo finally being acknowledged as the queen she is

[@livchuu541]

'OMG does Jennie have bangs?' xD

[@Malitor]

I totally agree.. I feel like it isn't long enough. I'm always wanting more.. I find myself listening to it about three times in a row before I can move on to another song in my playlist.

[@emmanuellexu9436]

Thank you for the symbolism explaination at the end i love it, i love the double meaning, symbolism, story telling that is fluid in most of their MV

[@mico8116]

Was really waiting for this. Can't wait for the listening party.

[@skarolis999]

I liked the fact they are trying something new. A lot of people hate this song and they dislike it, but it's because they cannot get out of their comfort zone and try out something new. In general I liked this song and eventually I'm 100% sure it will grow up on people like 4D did.

[@rogue8059]

Ooh, i really love how you put it. Beacause after watching their coachella performance, your point of view really make sense cause they really did it in the middle of their performance, the pitch black then red accompanied by the trumpet really hyped up their stage even more

[@markmwendwa2083]

Let's pray for that full album this year and constant touring.

[@kuyakuya7447]

I agree with you that this should be the opening number for a concert or performance hope coachella watched your reaction video hahaha! Because that will be so freaking awesome!!!

[@purplesharpie]

Yay! My favorite reactor! No matter how delay you are, you're still my number 1. Lol

[@Mieczyslaw_Mason]

THIS is the one reacter(?) i like to watch that actually explains it well and respectful

[@lila897]

PD are you also gonna react to the other songs on their album? Just like square up their b side's tracks are amazing. And I think you will fall in love with Jisoo's voice since she stands out so much in this album with Rosé.

[@ugnejablonskyte4173]

The best reactor award goes to PD. You explained every detail so well that I don't know what to add more.

[@CHOCOKONIC]

I'm so in love with the symbolism of this song. DDDD might be a catchier song but KTL is a statement.

[@marniekellergan9869]

I was waiting for your reaction !!

[@bitangaHR]

This song was made for live performances, not listening on it's own. It's like a type of song you wouldn't usually listen to but if you were to hear it live, it would get you hyped up.

[@leilanibatty]

Your reaction was so insightful! Amazing JOB

[@yezus6428]

The sudden ending works so well if you loop the song. Never ending bop.

[@gabrielmalizon5152]

THE ALBUM IS GOLD THE B TRACKS ARE AMAZING PD

[@1haniestan278]

This song really didn't sit right with me at first....but honestly it hasn't been that long but now I LOVE it.....there's just something about it that keeps me going. Thank you so much for the reaction PD ❤️

[@autumneagle]

Ive been waiting for this! I was very happy with Jisoo having more lines in many of the songs on the mini album. In this song in particular the Jennie/Lisa duo back and forth really stood out to me, I love how they play off of each other and it reminded me of their back and forth rap in the Migel cover on Party People.

[@dsorichetti154]

Finally found a reaction from someone who actually knows what they are talking about. Good job.

[@jeonsoyeon3749]

you're one of the first people ive seen with merch thats actually very nice , gonna cop

[@r48productions]

I try to study KPop reactors because I’m also one myself. What makes me come back is your chill dark lit club setting.

[@allylandon221]

Jae being in your intro makes me smile every time

[@meganhayne2306]

Is it weird that i like the audio of the song better than when i listen to the actual MV. Its like all the instrument are magnified or sum shit like that. Niceee one 👍👍👏👏👏

[@anirai1516]

I loved everything about the mv and you're right. I loved the symbolism in the mv. I didn't realize about the airpods until I saw someone else pointing it out it was a very smooth product placement.

[@janetteaguilar6265]

Oh my god idk what was it about this song but u took the words right out of my mouth and described it perfectly

[@CrystalGroo]

Love the Kulture Study. Your intellectual thoughts on every song, is all we need. Good job on the breakdown analysis of Blackpink's song, Kill this Love! :)

[@srsh12345]

For Jisoo's first part, lots of people are saying the mask is showing the eye is bloodshot when camera zooms out. Her verse is related to eyes bleeding or bloodshot

[@aerynkelly]

Thank you - you helped verbalise my "it's not quite right" feeling I had when I first listened, and helped me understand why I felt it

[@rureroryruri]

Just watched their performance from Coachella and realized the company won't put down any song that is not good in any concert/live performance on a large scale - always a quality.

[@Rae-lj2wg]

Wow, the most in depth reaction and review!! I love listening to you break down the videos

[@emrald13]

Saw them at Coachella this last weekend. Let me tell you, Kill This Love was FUCKING GREAT IN CONCERT. But then again, EVERYTHING they did was fucking great in concert.

[@croddechavez8762]

Atlast! Been waiting for this!

[@kaezouu6012]

FINALLY I've been waiting for your review

[@shortyecg]

I feel like this song is more of an anthem. It creates this feeling of wanting to fight, in this case, fight for your own self love. I actually really like it :)

[@Veralidainai]

Kill This Love performs more as an 'anthem' in my opinion. You can see this in how they deviate from the norm for their song composition and the end of their song. They also brought a literal marching band to perform with them towards the end. Annnnd I am literally living for the visuals of this music video.

[@rosey7574]

Finally I’ve been waiting for this

[@keithencarnado5022]

I've been waiting for this video for days

[@nivat9516]

Damn finally a KZbinr who goes deep into the reaction, love your reactions x love BlackPink x

[@lahsouza3775]

For me, Jisoo owned this album. Her voice is everything. ❤️

[@peaceminusone2210]

can nooot wait for their album reaction! i knooow you’re going to love it.

[@ShiningLight]

This song and MV are amazing.

[@arsa6574]

I really like the way you described the songs!!! It's so amazing

[@rosheruuu]

im literally SO glad u made the point about the song not sounding finished. It was my first thought and I was like damn YG ur messing with these girls again after not giving them a cb or full album, but I digress. When I first listened to it I was so MAD bc it needed that second chorus and it annoys me till this day cuz its just....it would've been perfect. And I also love the medley in Rose's first verse I wish they used it more in the song. I love the song but these r things I really wish happened. The MV is *chefs kiss* tho❤

[@A.babygirl4life]

daeng, I love the aesthetic of your video. It really made me feel good

[@sebasgehon9886]

I’ve been waiting for this! Thank you PD, you’re the best!!!!

[@tlsoares498]

Yes! Thank you for that Jisoo reaction. She is a queen and should be appreciated as such. Her voice color is so unique to kpop and is often overlooked for Jennie or Lisas parts. Together she and Rose really come together to create the pink to balance the black of Jennie and Lisa. Her dancing is also improving! Jisoo fighting!

[@pinkpong3690]

tlsoares498 I agree :)

[@arcadiaphoenix8392]

This is going to blow doors off at Coachella!!!!!
