Shmo, Josh, and Noah react to BLACKPINK's "How You Like That" Music Video. The First song of their brand new album "THE ALBUM" Social Media, Apple Podcasts, Spotify: linktr.ee/millennialmen Music by Rylan: / rylanladion
@@AlwafiCharki nope. I agree that he does switch up often but the beats are less diverse to stay in accordance to his rap flows. But BLACKPINK? Switching from lighter tones to dark in an instant with such perfect and smooth transitions? That too consistently? Nah man....no one comes close! 🔥
The kpop industry puts so much more into their product than anywhere else: the merch, the MVs, the physical albums, the comebacks and award shows. They have such pride in what they deliver to the audience.
Something you'll learn about in K-Pop is that their videos tend to be full of symbols and meanings. Blackpink's "How You Like That" is a retelling of the classic Greek story of Persephone. Long story short, Hades, Lord of tbe Underworld, kidnapped Persephone, Goddess of Springtime, Flowers, and Vegetation. He lured her into a colorful bed of flowers and then erupted out of the ground with his chariot, dragging her down with him. Her mother Demeter, Goddess of Agriculture, found out what happened and went to Zeus, King of the Gods and also Lord of the Sky. Meanwhile, Persephone hated her new existence. She was growing angry and hated being kept down. A deal was struck that allowed Persephone to return to the world for about half of the year but she had to remain in the underground for the other half. So when Persephone returned to the world, she brought Spring and Summer. As she left, the world turned cold and decayed. This is the story all of them share, but silver-haired Rosé represents Persephone the most. In her scene at the beginning, she alternates between two locations. You see her happy with flowers and blooming with life juxtaposed with a dark, dirty cave. When she pulls on the mask, the first chorus comes through as the beat drops and they exclaim "How You Like That!?" The set is very green and full of plants. This is Spring. Summer is shown in the market with the lead rapper, Lisa. Fall with the purple background and umbrellas. And the Winter scene is obvious. Jisoo in the fire scene is the Goddess of Revenge, Nemesis, sitting on a spider-like throne. She's going through her list and throws the book when she's ready to deal punishment. At the end, the girls dance through a large hall and end up in a dome with 2 large Trojan horses. In the story where the Greeks hid in the horses, they erupted out of the horse secretly in the City of Troy and took over. These women use that to show that they have emerged and are here to takeover once again. And on the walls of the dome are an organic map. On the left is Asia and surrounding continents and on the right are the Americas, representing their global success. This can be interpretated as a message meant between 2 lovers or between them and haters. They are here and will not stop doing what they do. They can't be kept down! Thank you for reading! 🖤💖
Just to let you know The girl that wearing a chanel is Jennie Kim aka HUMAN CHANEL she's an Chanel Ambassador And Rosé is YSL Ambassador Jisoo is Dior Ambassador Lisa Celine Ambassador,Mac Ambassador
BLACKPINK is officially the most listened to girl group in history with more than *17 BILLION VIEWS* between RU-vid and SPOTIFY (not counting the other streaming platforms) the most meritorious thing is that they achieved it with only 25 songs, and in 4 years of musical career, that's how great blackpink's talent is.
I'm clicking the subscribe button. I've enjoyed watching your reactions to 'How you like that' MV. I'm looking forward for your reactions to the rest of Blackpink songs.
*HOW YOU LIKE THAT* is about coming back from a dark place stronger than before. There are many Greek references in the video, two examples are: Rosé, with silver hair in the beginning, is portraying Persephone, Goddess of Vegetation (plants, flowers) and the daughter of Zeus. One day while she was out gathering flowers, Hades, God of the Underworld, abducted her and dragged her down to the Underworld where she was forced to become his wife. The video shows her in her beautiful image, surrounded by flowers, as well as how she became, dirty and grey, staring up at the world through a hole in the Underworld. She was eventually allowed to return to the surface for part of the year, which is why we have Spring and Summer. The Trojan Horses at the end are a message from BLACKPINK to the world. They symbolize the fact that BLACKPINK, like the Greeks, will emerge and take over the global music world. If you look at the last scene you will notice that on the inside of the dome it looks like there's an organic growth over parts of the ceiling. It's actually a map of the world that the group is going to dominate!
Why it sounds like they did a contract with satin to become more popular . cuz I've seen their pictures that they did in bet you wanna song and I was shocked they were making triangle ( pyramids ) shapes by their hands and they putted up their eyes ( just like the masons symbols ) 😭 I'm so scared blinks if bp were masons I well simply die 😢
This was their Bounce back track. After more than a year with no music they used this song to make a statement, we're back and you're going to be sorry lol "You should have ended me when you had the chance" BLACKPINK IS The Revolution.
Yu shouldve ended me when yu had the chance Look up in the sky Its a (B)ird - Black Its a (P)lane - Pink Bring out the boss b!tch They soaring high nd came for the world so far they succeeding keep slayin bp They came for the world
all blackpink music videos are of the highest category, they *never use green screens or CGI* for their productions, all the sets are 100% real and built entirely from scratch exclusively for the music video, even the girls' outfits are from CHANEL , DIOR, YVES SAINT LAURENT, LOUIS VUITTON, CELINE, VENTINO, etc. The blackpink company does not skimp on resources for the production of its music videos.
Thanks so much for this collective and in depth reaction! You guys might enjoy the making videos of their music videos. It's really awesome seeing the effort they put it. 😊
hey just a late viewer and a blink. pro tip: you always know who lisa is because she always has bangs and is probably rapping like the goddess she is :) another fun fact! the hole you see looking like a geode in the second scene behind jisoo is actually made with a mallet and jisoo made that hole herself!
I love your reactions, they are so genuine and I love how each and everyone of you mentions different aspects. It makes me happy that people appreciate Asian produced music and pop culture.
Your reactions were so pure and genuine and I love that you can be goofy and have fun while doing this. I usually don't like reaction videos, but I subscribed just based off of this video alone.
Before Blackpink and BTS, there was this group who's very popular in Korea. They were tagged as the Kings of KPOP as their albums sold millions everytime. This band is Bigbang. Please react to them! You won't regret it!❤️❤️ Songs: Bang Bang Bang Goodboy FXXK It Fantastic baby
Big bang was also popular around the world perhaps not on the level of BGS and Blackpink but they did world tours and was one of the main cogs of the Hallyu wave.
First reaction video I've seen where the viewers appreciate the cinematography, choreo and media production, not just going "omg they're so hot!" Thanks for this 😊 p.s. are you all Blinks now or...?
Loved this reaction and the one to Lovesick Girls! I like how you guys pay attention to different aspects of the song, from the lyrics to the video, etc. Excited to see y’all react to the rest of the album and I recommend watching their music videos for "Ddu-du Ddu-du" and "Kill This Love" next. If you guys are interested in reacting to other kpop groups I'd love to see you react to another girl group called Red Velvet. They're good friends with BlackPink in real life and have some amazing music. If you react to them I recommend watching "Psycho" or "Bad Boy" first. Looking forward to more reactions!
appreciate the honest reaction!!! YG ent (their company) is insane with the production, their (blackpink) album is also insanely high quality. Kpop in general is amazing with cinematography in their music videos and production, basically their government funds them hence they go all out most of the times (but especially BLACKPINK’s company which is YG entertainment)! Cant wait for your reaction to their album. Next I’d recommend 2ne1, Red Velvet or BTS and BigBang the other great iconic groups. CHECK THEIR COACHELLA PERFORMANCES TOO!! :)
You guys reacts naturally and I enjoyed it! Hi guys, welcome to the world of Blinks. Once you start liking them, you’ll never gonna stop. 💕💕💕 PS: More reaction videos to Blackpink! And keep streaming! Let’s go!
Yes! Please do their Ddu-Ddu-Du-Du and Kill This Love music video! Also, they are so fire at their Coachella performance too, I’d love if you did those!
1:17 I've been watching How You Like That for the nth time but sh*t, why I only heard the backing vocals right now? it's hella sick. I love the backing vocals you better listen carefully to it
I have one question: Why is the reaction audio so soft, but the mv video so much louder? Like, i put my volume up so high to hear you guys, then the mv starts, and then the whole house can hear what I am watching. I say this with no means of offense, your reactions are THE BEST.
