The next King of Pop?!- Reacting to Jung Kook 'Standing Next To You'

[@nycjt6267]

3:40 The director for the mv is Tanu Muino and she said it was an homage to Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet film. He is also a big fan of the boys which he has mentioned many times.

[@tessia3385]

Yes!! The MV director confirmed that it was her interpretation of the movie

[@PaganReacts]

Amazing!! And it’s female directed? Beautiful ❤

[@foreverwereyoungarmy5657]

@@PaganReacts Plz react to the full album of JK

[@helenstewart9408]

Pagan, there's a behind the scenes that shows the locations really clearly. It's a disused foundry in Hungary (where Jimin has been working recently and Seventeen filmed their latest mv). His newly released Golden Closet Film vlogging his trip to Budapest debuted during yesterday's live concert and made ARMY shriek aloud, which was hilarious as his mother was in attendance.

[@ronelledejager4770]

Golden has no skips on it - what a cool album. I actually love all the songs on the album. Already know each song word for word. Its what we expected from the Golden Maknae.

[@caro.137]

Loved JK's performance in this, he really outdid himself! And there actually is an award/title in Kpop called "King of Kpop" (voted every year) which has gone to Jimin for the past 5 years or so :)

[@aprilforgue]

Yes, the mv is based on Romeo and Juliette movie. I hope you watch the live performance at Times Square he did 4 songs off his album, and it is all in English. JK is killing it. The album is great, so yeah, I recommend checking it out.

[@mishka1566]

Can you please let me know whether she did any interview? I would like to read^^ Or watch)

[@aprilforgue]

@@mishka1566 you mean for JK? I do not think she has

[@christinafreeburn1888]

No, there is nothing he can't do. We've always known this about Jungkook.🥰💜 I'm still not over 3D but this song is slowly becoming my new favorite.

[@LisaMT1218]

Even married women melt into puddles when face to face with BTS members.... Married doesn't mean we are blind! 😂😂

[@libbywinslet]

Just cause you are on a diet, doesn't mean we can't look at the menu!!!

[@PaganReacts]

Faaaaccccttttsss 🤣🤣

[@reneezemlock7880]

Baz Lurhman actually posted on his insta and praised the video and the homage to R&J :)

[@PaganReacts]

How lovely!

[@shirleyrasmussen7414]

Congrats to JK. He knocked this out this world. Kudos to him and his backup dancers for a phenomenal performance.❤😊

[@nighthawk326]

Yes, it references the BTS DNA song, as you can see him do the DNA dance move at that moment.

[@hussain3806d]

Yaaa❤ Jungkook whole album is Soo good

[@corgisrule21]

Yessssss!!!! You’re gonna FREAK out! 😆😆😆💜 And btw, MJ is timeless, sis 😉 and I can’t believe she actually cut a check for just staring at JK all day…life is not fair lol Oh, and she’s gorgeous 🤣🤣😫😅

[@ZEROCOOLLTV]

Baz's Romeo and Juliet is what the director was going for. Thats what the limos are for, its the night of the ball, and the model is wearing a white dress like Claira Danes, but JK is wearing the black wings, and peeps think its a call back to Black Swan but the wings are a call back to Romeo and Juliet, if you remember she wears wings to the ball. And the the stage is almost exactly like the one in the movie as well.

[@Justanybodyelse7]

Additionally to the (confirmed) Romeo + Juliet movie he does the "signature move" of the DNA MV at 2:56. And i guess the black wings refer to the Map of the Soul: 7 album and the scene at 4:18 to the Fake Love MV

[@Nilaratna]

Great reaction - love your "has somebody checked on her " commentary! (But I see from another comment that she's already married irl, heehee). Highly recommend this song live on the Jimmy Fallon show and also the choreography MV version. 🤩Would also like to note for posterity that I was "like" number 222 on this reaction. 😝

[@eileencritchley4630]

yes the album is called Golden and SEVEN of it has already be certified Platinium in the US and Silver in the UK. The quickest song to reach Platinium it's record breaker.

[@kpopstan13103]

I love this song so much 💜💜💜

[@taechoi5327]

How sick would it be if all the solos by bts rn all ties into the storyline. Like this song music video reminds me of blood sweat and tears

[@libbywinslet]

Thank you Pagan for reacting, i knew you would love it... this video knocked my socks off... unfortunately this isn't being played on radio but will remain legendary with ARMY. No doubt you have heard by now JK, Jimin, V & RM are about to enter the military in the next few weeks and we will have to wait till 2025... but u know we will have a comeback like no other when they return.

[@charleyb296]

Thank you for reacting to jk it’s an amazing video and song love it 💜

[@Vetsolutions12]

Also there is audacy live performance by jk

[@just_lil_g]

Realmente es tan agradable ver artistas que aún trabajan duro y con calidad. Espero reacciones a las presentaciones en vivo ya tiene varias y todos son geniales.
