Shmo, Josh, and Noah react to BIGBANG's "FANTASTIC BABY" Music Video Second Channel: / @detourmain Social Media, Apple Podcasts, Spotify: linktr.ee/millennialmen #Kpop #Reaction #Music #MusicVideo
This was BigBang comeback after a very hard time when they received a lot of hate that is why GDs hair is long , Taeyang is frozen , TOP was trapped into a painting , you see Daesung chained and Seungri injured . The people with masks are the fans fighting haters . At the end the kings sit on their rightful thrones. BigBang had the first real rapline , brought respect for idol rappers, the first to find success writing and producing their music , to have solo careers without disbanding , GD designed the first ever official lightstick, introduced fashion into kpop, colored hair , airport fashion , he made the industry accept an usb as an album. They were winning international awards and having world tours before 3 gen idols even debut.
There's this saying that BigBang might not be your favorite kpop group, but they are your favorite's favorite. Please watch their video for BANG BANG BANG, that song gets everyone to dance.
G-Dragon: Lucifer. For several reasons: the red hair’s length shows prowess, it’s being mixed with the wires that are literally sparking revolution show intimate involvement in the uprising. The staff shows power, black bound by gold chains reverses that image, showing the dichotic struggle between good and evil. The black and white suit shows also the dichotomy of good an evil; and he’s underground (or effectively so by being away from the sun and Light), and on a stone throne, both of which symbolize Lucifer. The last time he appears solo, he’s got this beauty of a make-up job. Little black feathers overlying a white backdrop; that combined with the ninja-falling-out-of-the-sky-move simply SCREAM fallen-angel/Lucifer. Note: Lucifer as light-bringer, not Satan. GD is a point of temptation, but he tempts the people to rise up, to grab for something presented as evil, but it’s really for something that enlightens them and benefits them as a whole. The crazy hair, the fluffy jacket, the hunched animalistic positions and aggressive wild motions scream bestiality. The throne he’s on is stone but unlike GD’s raw Stone-Table illusion, this has the refining touch of humanity to it, making him a distinctly human beast. Also the gold net-like thing can be seen symbolically as a hunter’s tool, attached to the human side of things. Humanity binds up bestial within Society. Simple fact. Also, TaeYang’s mask show his teeth, and most of his role has him showing his teeth, which is yet another marker of the beast, the animal side of humanity. He also has the most ‘tattoos’ of the members, a tribalistic sign of wildness. The fact that he has the word ALIVE carved into his hair and inked onto his skin yet again alludes to the beast, the internal urges that make people do more that exist passively, that makes them truly be ALIVE. Moving on to TOP: the Dream Keeper. Dream Keeper is really just a subjective name that I recall from the first time I heard the legend. You could also call him a guardian of limbo or something, I don’t know. Anyway, the Dream Keeper is the creational pressure behind the changes in the world. War, Industry, Conflict, anything that results in Change is his domain. He gives people a taste of what they want so that they’ll change the world to get more of it. His power spreads across all of space and time, literally. TOP has a military coat, and medals, and his throne had militant tassels an a set of pistols (which could also be seen as starting guns for races/duels/etc, which are all still events that he literally triggers). His throne is steel or iron (because of the corrosion thing) which symbolized the Industrial Revolution very clearly, the style of riveting wasn’t around much before the 1800’s and the throne’s just perfectly steampunk in style which dates it to about then as well. Up next is Daesung: the Human refinement of that which is animal. His role is similar to Taeyang's but rather than that of the universally suppressed beast, he is the well trained and sociable, but still very animal, 'human pet'. All the muscles and whatnot of the Beast imagery, but he’s been sucessfully chained up. Silver chains are a neutral thing, neither exclusively good or bad, much like humans can be either good or bad depending on things other than God or Satan’s will. His mask is perfectly clear, containing, but you can still clearly see the animal that is humanity. He doesn’t get a throne until the very end, symbolizing humanity’s weak position in the universal sway of things, and when he does finally get one, it’s a crudely clever construction of rope and wood and iron pipes, which alludes to human ingenuity and a lack of materially creative abilities (and by that I mean we can’t actually make a material, ie construct chocolate pudding out of base atomic particles …sadly enough) and also our innately creative urges (ie, to make things out of materials we already have or can acquire). Last, but not least, we have SeungRi: Raw Egoism, aka pointed bestiality. He is the human need to dominate, and to be at the center or everything. The bestial symbolism is strong in the whole, bare chest with scratch marks, cat-girl orgy thing he’s got going on, but his throne is very much a craft of the human. It’s incredibly aggressive and dominating, but the sharpness of the spikes, their method of attachment, and the simple materials from which it’s constructed … it’s a very human design. SeungRi is at the center of his little orgy and his bit is at the approximate center of the song. It come up after the bridge, just before the ultimate conquest of the people, demonstrating a symbolic representation of human egoism. We think we are the center of the universe and can do anything, win any battle, take on any opposition … and as Nietzsche says, since it’s true in thought, therefore it’s true in action and in consequence. We can because we think we can. The Owl: okay, so it isn’t exactly a member, but it symbolizes wisdom, as many people know, and also carnage, as very few do. Minerva is the roman goddess of wisdom, yes, and also of WAR. He’s sitting on a light (symbolizing wisdom again) but it’s turned off, which alludes to the fact that there’s something missing to be learned of (ie the greatness of the thing that is music). And he’s in front of a fence; putting a war symbol in front of an oppression symbol can only mean there’s gonna be an up-rising. As the beat drops and the war begins, the little owl takes flight, jumping into action with the song. Perfect ne? And that’s just the first 2 seconds. The next time he appears, he still has the Red theme going on as he surveys the chaos (still on the stone throne, and still with the cool staff. Also, he’s still away from the light, even though he’s above ground as there’s no real veiw of the sky). He’s the tempter, giving them a taste of music, and leading the people towards uprising against order, which is all very lucifer-ish. Next up is TaeYang: raw power and the human beast. First he appears frozen, as the bestial nature of people has been so utterly suppressed by the imposed Order of the government. But as revolution builds and the MV goes on, he warms up. The whole Zen thing goes along with the frozen one. The bland white, the gas masks, the discipline of monks … it all goes back to how oppression constrains the beast within. His last look continues the theme. The bare-chested thing is a mark of primitiveness, again bestial, and the armor is a sign of aggression, also bestial, though it’s distinctly human at the same time. At this point, I’m beating a dead horse. He’s literally sitting in a limbo-esque space as the painting behind him which can be seen as worlds that he has access to span the styles of different countries at very different times of art-development. The second time he appears for a major scene is at the end of the battle, surveying the empty landscape. The fluffy coat and the whimsical color and hairstyle allude to the transient ‘dreaminess’ of the dream keeper.Blue can mean ‘peace,’ but it also alludes (much more strongly) to the cyclical and ever-changing nature of the ocean, and his hair can be seen as waves, (both of which are powerful symbols of constant change on their own, but when seen as representing Poseidon, another God of war-like-things, they’re much more aggressive change than merely natural. The blank canvas of a world he’s standing on is the end result of a revolution, one that he may have help provoke, in order to create space for new art. When his next big scene comes up, it’s bouncing back and forth off of TaeYang, but it shows Daesung in a well refined suit being the epitome of cultured and ‘human’ The beast and the suit bounce off each other to show how the human is free and the beast is human. Taeyang is still in a cage environment with the fencing, whereas Daesung is competely free, though we previously know that he is also a beast chained up. TaeYang’s armor is his human-making addition, and rather than the gold(which equates to god/godly) hunter’s net (a strictly offensive tool), it’s a silver (neutral) arm-guard which can be used flexibly for offense or defense, causing both TaeYang and Daesung to attract this human notion. The liberation bash at the end is pretty awesome too. The pulling off of the gasmasks marks their true freedom, being taken into their own hands. The people and the members coming together showing how important each is to making humanity whole. The puzzle-piece nature of their thrones does that too. I’ll be honest. I didn’t really have any idea what the carpet monsters meant at first … carpet monsters don’t exactly come up in a curriculum of traditional western symbology… My guess was another merging of humanity and bestiality. As the carpet monsters are clearly man-made and man-operated, yet at the same time are very reminiscent of true beasts … after a bit of research, I found out that the monsters are called HaeTaes and they symbolize justice and righteous victory, which makes them perfectly suited to being guests at the liberation bash. ^_~ Cre: astylestardom
ummm i dont know where this all came from but its not accurate in the slightest, i mean beastiality? only one thing comes to mind when most people here that term and its not good. this song and mv is about several members scandals that happened in 2010-2011 and the fact haters didnt think they should comeback. Daesung's car accident in 2010, people were calling him murderer he was depressed and suicidal hence him being chained up and later falling but VIP and those who support him caught him. GD's marijuana incident in 2011, he has bandages on his torso symbolic of all the hate he was getting. The stop music people in riot gear symbolize the haters and people who wanted them to disband, the people in masks represents BIGBANG's fans and supporters who fought for them. After GD's scandal YG was considering disbanding BB but told GD to write a dance song for their next album which was Alive and see what happens, Fantastic Baby was the result.
There are a lot of old kpop groups like Super Junior, Shinee, 2NE1, and of course Big Bang, who really were like the beginning of Kpop becoming bigger and then of course groups like BTS and Exo took what the older groups started and completely grew Kpop into this big empire. I think it would be cool for you guys to listen to some old kpop and see where it started from and grew from
This is arguably the most influential and iconic Kpop song of the past decade and one of the most iconic of all time. Usually, many iconic songs in K-Pop get their status because of their catchiness or dancing, but this one broke musical grounds too. This EDM+Hip Hop blend was groundbreaking in K-Pop at the time and influenced the 3rd Generation sound that came ahead. ❤️
Big Bang are still the Kings of Kpop and will always be. Check out their discography and you'll see what I mean. Fyi....Girl group Everglow are also dope. Check them out.
Instead of Fantastic Baby, I would want you guys to react Bang bang bang, We like 2 party, Fxxk it, Blue, Bad boy, Last dance, Let's not fall in love, etc.. from Bigbang!!
Everything YG related is a chefs kiss! All YG STANS out here would really recommend you reacting on their live stages rather than their music videos. EVERY SINGLE YG GROUP IS BOMB IN LIVE PERFORMANCE
They are of the same label with Blackpink, 2NE1, Winner, Ikon and Treasure. YG Entertainment is known to produce badass groups, hip/hop, rap and edm are their specialties.
I saw BigBang, I clicked. Please do check out their live performances, they're the kings of live performances after all. I strongly recommend the live perf of Fantastic Baby (Alive Tour 2012), Tell Me Goodbye live (Japan Dome Tour X 2014-2015), their MAMA 2015 performances. BigBang slays any kind of music genre, they never disappoint and the vocal lines, insane!
Thank you guys for your reactions. Awesome reactions. Live big bang and the are the true kings of k-pop and helped paved the way internationally for k-pop artist. G-Dragon is the leader (guy with long hair) he is a musical genius and wrote, compose, and produce most of big bang songs and other idols as well. He was 6 when he was in his first kpop group called Little RooRa which didn't last long and was in training from 8yrs to 13 yrs. He became the first youngest hip hop rapper in Korea at age 13. Big Bang debut in 2006 and G-dragon had is first solo in 2009. BigBang songs are iconic from rap to vocals is amazing. Love to see more Big Bang and G-Dragon reactions. Also Taeyang has some amazing solo mv too he was the buffed frozen guy with Mohawk hair. T.O.P was ther deep voice rapper. Daesung was the buffed blonde hair and Seungri was black hair guy who has currently retired from Big Bang due alledged sex scandle we don't talk about
Big Bang is on different levels.. people usually prefer to watch Big Bang live performance such as their performance in 2015 MAMA awards. .n btw they are BP senior..
AWWW KINGS OF KPOP AND LEGENDS HEREEEE~~ they debuted 2006 ohhh l love them please moree BIGBANG cuz they are unique and their styles their songs are different and their voices so good please unhelpful guide to them too l m sure u guys will like them hh andd l loved ur BIGBANG reactionn u guys are so cuteeee the long hair one is G-DRAGON he is the leader the blue hair one is T.O.P the blonde one is DAESUNG the short black hair one is SEUGRI he is the youngest and the other black hair one is TAEYANG~~
For bigbang you need to check out their live performances along with the music videos... Fans love watching their live performances more😂😂 And this was a revolutionary song in kpop... This song is a basis for modern day kpop...
Guys! if you want to react to bigbang, you have to watch their live performance. For example their CONCERTS!!. One reason they are the kings is for that. Their mv are great but in live stage they are insanely awesome.!!!
This song, Fantastic Baby, is from their Alive album. You are right with the main idea of the m/v, but it has a background in reality. "Alive" Album was their comeback after several "scandals" and media was like : it's too early for them to return. They were very anxious about it. Plus, they were already extremely well known to public. So they already were "kings" of industry. Everybody thinks they are dethroned and gone now. But they release "Alive" album which was a huge success, after it they had their first world tour (first Korean act to have a world tour if I'm not mistaken). And Fantastic Baby is a great representation of those days. They have people who said them to stop music and those, who still waits for them (their fandom, people who are on their side) and they are dethroned but only by media not de-facto. So G-DRAGON, leader, the guy with long hair begins with Yoga buteora.. Let's gather around ... It's a call for everyone who waited for their music. Let's party again, let's do it together again. This song was a hit. Like it was performed on year ending music shows for several years straight. So the remain themselves as kings. BIGBANG was named kings of k-pop by media for their impact on Korean pop culture and music industry. They are versatile. So I'd recommend: Fxxk it Bae BAE Bad boy Sober And their live performances. It's a must!!!!
EXO is a MUST when diving into kpop they are legends. so you should should definitely react to a few that i recommend like: EXO-'Monster' Or EXO-'Tempo' Maybe EXO- 'call me baby' /or 'obsession' (I think maybe you'll enjoy, they are very good songs)
My VIP frozen heart is melting watching this again after so long... They need to make new hit!! They been on hiatus for too long and I truly miss their sound.
The legend of Kpop, u guys should listen to their song, u would definitely love it. They have so much masterpiece. Even Pewdiepie were one of their fans -Let's Not Fall In Love -Bae Bae -Bang Bang Bang -Blue -Loser
They're one of the best groups of k-pop, especially from old school, I think that their live performance are so much better than the mv, love your videos
thanks for this! - love this song is so legendary, even until this day. yall gotta update more man, i really enjoy your reactions, esp since u really look into it and try find the meanings or double entendres many people don't really do much in their music reactions, so i really get excited when yall update lmao
More BigBang please! They are blackpink's seniors ( label YG) and they have the same producer (Teddy Park). But they wrote almost all the songs themselves. Bigbang - loser (MV with lyrics), let's not fall in love (mv with lyrics), Sober (mv with lyrics), fxxt it (mv with lyrics), bang bang bang (mv)
After this, I hope you can react the live performances of Bigbang. They’re monsters when it comes to live. Must watch MAMA 2016, the vibe, swag, live vocals, talent.. name it!
BigBang will always be the KINGS OF KPOP they are voted from all fans in every fandom and also the idols and actors.. newer gen might surpass them but the Title will always be them. Same like Michael Jackson "King of Pop" He might be surpass by other artists like Justin Bieber but the Title will always be his.
Bigbang isn't just about banger songs or music, you can check their songs called 'Loser' but make sure you have subtitle on it, that song has a very beautiful lyrics. And you can also check their song called 'FXXK IT' that song is literally the work of art
Bigbang is the first group to start writing and producing their own music. Bigbang is the first one to have official lightstick. G-Dragon designed it T.O.P is the first underground rapper turned idol in kpop. Bigbang is the first boy group to dye their hair bright unusual colors Bigbang is the first group that members have solo music careers without disbanding irst kpop idol groupto collaberate with western artist First kpop group to win an international award. They inroduced the concept of "mini album series" to kpop The first idol groupto have rapline And to this day G-Dragon is still the only soloist from idol groups to win Artist of the Year/Daesang. The first idol group on a large-scale world tour is BIGBANG The first male idol group dominate the digital charts is BIGBANG
Guys, you've seen their clubbangers,I'd suggest you to see "LOSER" "MONSTER", or "IF YOU" by BIGBANG. They're the most versatile boy group, one of the many reasons why they're the Kings.
