WE React to BLACKPINK: WHISTLE - THIS IS HOW THEY STARTED!

[@CheezDaBoss]

"Whistle" was discussed by the girls and their producer Teddy Park in the Netflix documentary. They talked about how this song was regarded as a controversial choice for a debut and some producers were against it. But, the girls really fought for this song. "Whistle" would win an award thirteen days after publication, becoming the fastest debut song to win an award. Their other song,"Boombayah" would go on to exceed a billion views.

[@jeanvillarmea2140]

Yes up up up!!!!!

[@Hotcheetos777]

honestly, whistle is the song that really made me get into blackpink. As a korean who heard so many generic kpop songs, whistly was so fresh and new, it sounds a bit hollow/eerie and I loved it. While their newer songs are still bops, I wish they would come out with songs like whistle. Something that doesn't have to necessarily go hard every time or have lyrics that are always about haters etc. (Don't get me wrong, I love their hard hitting songs too ex. Kill this love, Shut down, Pretty Savage, etc). BUT it's always their older songs that I come back to, I loveeed Stay and Whistle. Even their older choreo seems more creative than the newer ones, but I get it, they're getting older and it gets harder on their bodies to sustain hardcore choreo

@@Hotcheetos777 I agree about their song lyrics. Getting over the way they are talking. When you watch their house vids their personalities are nothing like the lyrics in their songs. The company seems to be pushing the usual western trash lyrics. Now with all the swearing it’s becoming a bit of a turn off to me. Certainly can’t play their songs when my kids are around now which is sad

[@Hotcheetos777]

@@MrNathan1575 I agree. The only person that probably swears irl off camera is Jennie, as she was seen swearing a couple of times.I feel like she's the only one who "fits" their lyrics, but that's only when in comparison to the other girls.

[@moxeven6723]

They debuted with two songs Boombayah and Whistle!. Boombayah is a song mostly describes their BLACK side (savage, girl crush, pop etc..) and whistle describes their PINK side (cute, franky, feminine etc..) which is where their name BLACKPINK was born.

You have to realize these girls train for YEARS just to hopefully be able to have a chance to try in a K Pop group. They gave their lives to the company who trained them and they rose to the top of all the other girls. So the fact their first music video and the quality of that first song doesn't seem like a first is well deserved. They kind of are seasoned veterans in their business as they have been working their asses off behind the scene for many years.

did you guys notice some scenes here from shutdown? BP literally paid tribute to all their past MVs and shut it d0wn at the same time to start a new era for Blackpink... thanks for always appreciating and seeing the handwork put into every contents BP does. haters often say they dont work hard enough just like other groups but the girls wont reach the level where they are now, if they dont put any effort in everything they show us. what others miss is the fact that BP only let us see the finished and almost perfect product while keeping the hard process on how they get there away from us... BP is not other groups who show everything from the background and other stuff. they dont need appreciation out/with pity... rather, the only thing the girls ask for is to enjoy their music and content as much as you can... my respect for these girls will always be there no matter what others would try to say. try to watch Blackpink Journey and Friendship or their own Netflix docu titled Light Up the Sky. thank a lot buddies.

i really appreciate your way of reacting to blackpink, i mean it was all genuine and very appreciative on every songs of blackpink and no matter what, you both could still appreciate how blackpink presents their style in music in variety of ways. Just totally, some blackpink reactors have so much standards and expectations that they could not properly acknowledge the various approaches of how blackpink present songs in different and fresh ways.

[@musicupdate2872]

listen to BOOMBAYAH, you'll ten-folds be amazed with their 2nd debut song if you're more into upbeat music

[@katfernando658]

Thanks for reacting to Whistle. This is still considered as one of the best debuts in kpop---this won numerous awards in various music shows. It also the only debut song that garnered a Perfect All-Kill (in Korean music charts, this means simultaneously reaching #1 on the real-time, daily, and weekly charts). Quite the contrary though, THIS is their voice. This was not supposed to be their debut song since their entertainment company felt that this is too "empty" for kpop audience (as kpop is known for bombastic sounds and heavy production) but the girls, together with their producer Teddy, fought for this to be their debut song. True enough, this won them a lot of awards and set them as a group that can bring their own style to the table. Also, fun fact, it was Jisoo who was whistling. This also has an acoustic version, which is really cool.

[@bunnymoon9130]

Your blackpink reactions are quickly becoming my favourite! Btw, they debuted with two songs: Whistle and Boombayah. I highly recommend checking the second one

[@jadorejisoo]

I love ur reactions sm guys. not only y'all pay attention to the lyrics, sound and production, you also appreciate all the girls effort and charisma. Regarding their debut, they actually debuted w 2 singles: Whistle & boombayah. Whistle is meant to show their pink side, while boombayah the black side which they often gravitate to. I recommend y'all listening to the latter since its my fav from those two n its sound is actually rlly unique. I would also love to see a “Playing with fire” MV reaction since its been my fav bp title track for a while alongside “Lovesick Girls”. I dont think they're much ur style but they're absolute BOPS. Oh and watching their live performances is a MUST! they're truly incredible live. Keep it up w the good content guys, can't wait to see more!!

[@edhyh1]

Hey guys I been following your BP journey since the beginning I'm really enjoying your reactions From my point of view there's no difference in what music genre you prefer once you give the ladies of Blackpink a chance you fall in love with their beauty yes, but also with their talent, skills, charisma and their personalities. This song it's so different thar their bosses didn't want to put it out but the girls had confidence in what they created and take home all the awards with this The other debut single Boombayah sounds more like a Blackpink song haha Continue the journey I'll be here for it and thanks for appreciating our four Queens!!

[@hortbeck]

In Kpop, record labels recruit hundreds of young kids at auditions and just off the street every year. They mostly go into dorms where they start training and are called trainees. They start dance lessons, vocal lessons, some do school, most start English lessons, interview lessons and even how to perform on stage. They are reviewed every month to decide to keep or cut. Those that remain every month, keep training for the chance to be put in a group to "debut". Some train for months and some train for multiple years. Kpop singles are released on TV music programs in Korea, not really radio. Kpop starts on TV music shows.

[@travisgodel3938]

Kpop really is a visual medium with the music TV shows and merch compared to the west the song is all there is hoping to get on the radio or Spotify or Pandora rotation.

[@lawrie0]

They debuted with 2 songs. Boombayah and Whistle. Also "As if it's your last" is good. But I'd say the game changer is Kill this love and Ddu du du du music video. After those two songs they became the biggest girl group up to now.

[@imanemin4610]

[@kekandajokor2148]

I didn't expect for you guys to react to this and was surprised but grateful for it. Going back to their debut is the best way to see and understand how their songs mature to what they are now and "Shutdown" has most of these older videos in it. Well, Boombayah next and work from there on.

[@jgali38]

Great Reaction Rykerroad! Just wanted to point out that Whistle was the only Music Video that they used Green Screen and splash effects! Popa YG said never again! From here on out hand made sets! Boombayah is the first debit Music Video to hit 1 Billion Views! Hopefully you will get to see why it’s an incredible M/V!🙏🏻

[@-insert-]

Blackpink has come far from their start 6yrs ago. And as Teddy stated in their Netflix documentary it was not at all expected. However if you go back over their 6yrs and watch the growth of the group as well as its individual members you will realize that what YG created was by pure brilliance or just dumb luck but either way it's a once in a generation group of hyper talented women with the charisma to match. And the fact that they clearly, and obviously love, adore and protect each other just adds to their charm and appeal. With that said Shut Down, by their own words ends this 6yr era and begins what I refer to as Blackpink version 2.0. Born Pink is new music for them and I'm excited to see where they go with these new themes. As always a great review!

[@jeanvillarmea2140]

You guys should react to BLACKPINK - BOOMBAYAH and LISA - MONEY next week please!!!!!

[@anais8028]

for Blinks that are listening to BP since the begining, we made the path all the way arround, you started with harder songs, but for us it was perfect

[@mixx-n-match]

Hi Kyle ! Since you're a metal head, i'd suggest a rock heavy kpop girl group : Dreamcatcher They released their latest album today with the title track VISION They are 7 amazing ladies and all their title tracks have rock influences. Their japanese releases have more metal influences though, i'm sure you'll enjoy them. Hope you'll react to them soon :) EDIT : more song suggestions Title tracks "Endless Night" "What" "Fly High" "You and I" "Chase Me" "Good Night" B-sides like "Tension" "Break The Wall" "My Way" "Scar"

[@CrucibleBlack13]

‘Whistle’ would fit their sound just as well on the latest album as it did on their debut. Don’t forget the “Pink” side of BLACKPINK. They are both pretty and savage. Your analysis is understandable if you’re introduced to ‘Ddu-Du Ddu-Du’ ‘How You Like That’ ‘Kill This Love’ etc. There is a certain structure there that seems familiar. Yet keep in mind their debut had a smooth hip hop vibe in ‘Whistle’ and a club song in ‘Boombayah’ while their early track ‘Lovesick Girls’ is 80’s bubblegum pop. A sound shared with their current song ‘Yeah Yeah Yeah’. Debut ballads like ‘You Never Know’ and current ballads like ‘Happiest Girl’. Then of course each girl brings their own artistic influence, like Lisa’s swag, but we can’t forget that Rosé is an Indie Pop Princess at heart who is content to sit on the beach with an acoustic and rely on her musicianship. We can compare her solo sound like ‘Gone’ to early works written by Jennie like ‘Stay’. Of course they bring that 90’s East Coast/West Coast flow they were raised on as a result of Teddy’s influence... But just don’t be so quick to put BLACKPINK into a box. There isn’t one voice that defines them.

[@JR-oq7yr]

You guys are great! You will thank me later, but you should react to DDU DU DDU DU REMIX live from the Tokyo Dome in 2020 next. It is a stadium show with a live band. It's an encore performance so the vibe is different. It is also in Japanese and the English raps are different as well. It is a completely different experience than the M/V and hits hard.

[@electrohawk1]

Their second debut song Boombayah, brings you one step closer to more of their signature sound (for their bangers), if there can be one for Blackpink. The signature of Blackpink as it stands now, is that you expect something, but somehow they give you that, but more, with different sounds, different instruments, different cadences, different vocals. Sort of a pattern of no pattern, as with Shutdown, they are saying to shut down your way of trying to box Blackpink in. They are all those things you thought, and everything that you thought they were not... pleasingly paradoxical group.

[@astriawati.n.ariwibowo336]

The BLACKPINK concept is described in this debut songs..Boombayah is for they BLACK side image and Whistle for PINK side image..

Don't forget the 5th BlackPink member Production director, manager and mentor, Teddy Park. He had his own boy group in his youth and followed that with the production, manager and mentor of the top 4 member girl crush group at the time, 2NE1, before they disbanded and were replaced by BlackPink.

This is Blackpink fresh outta the gate!! The company didn't like this song. They thought it was too soft and too slow. They wanted a super badass 2NE1 type girl group. But Teddy, their producer was so sure of it that he AND THE GIRLS stood up for it. They said IT HAS TO BE THIS SONG!!! It has to be this one. It's going to land so strong and original, That song with those vocals. If you wanna know how tight a group they were? They literally ain't nobody yet. They ain't released nothing as a group. For them to stand up and say, yeah, no! We think it should be this one. It's a kind of swag and confidence that just does NOT exist for young asian girls. I'm sure it was Teddy saying, if we all stand up together and urge them, they might listen to us. They were right. People never got over Whistle. It was a double punch. Funny that Jisoo is doing the whistling sample you hear on the track. She does it in a documentary. You can hear her doing that whistling tune as they are getting make up done.

[@gigifai3321]

[@12DanDaniel]

Boombayyah (sp) came out at the same time. When you watch that you'll understand the later videos, but the quietness of Whistle is also a big part of their skill and artistry. Not every song needs to be a 'banger.' From what I have heard, the women fought to get this song, Whistle, released. I think that they wanted a softer side to be part of their name from the beginning. A little black, a little pink, eh? Sure, record execs want every song to be a hard hitting smash, but they were also building a large' brand' here that allows for a wide range of songs. And of marketing away from music.

And btw, I think both MV’s were released at the same time… so right from the start they nail it!

that's the advantage of how the way South Korea's music industry of doing things...after long years of rigorous training....you do not get to release anything until the company which you are signed to feels like you are ready....and when you finally get to debut....you look like a seasoned vet already in the music scene.
