The “synthie horn” in Dope is actually a saxophone played in a key outside of the normal range. And don’t worry, ARMY loves seeing BTS leave people speechless. 😜
Actually, their outfits in Dope represents all hardworking 'jobs/people ' , just like BTS. The song is about "if we came this far and even going farther, it's because we are given our all ! Not like others, who don't work as hard and go partying or relax. And you haters that talk about us , it's helping us because we get attention!
"Jin looks exactly the same" - yeah, we joke that he's a vampire, the man does not age. I love early, earnest, hungry BTS. And I love watching early performances and then Run BTS (the song), live in Busan. You can see how they've grown as a group. They're less desperate now, looser, but no less dedicated, no less passionate, and they've grown so much in confidence and self-assurance. It's really neat to see. (Another great way to see that is to watch all 3 live performances of Born Singer, in order.) I love that you watched Dope twice. There's a lot to take in! For all that it's really fun there's a pretty solid social message in there too. BTS had a lot to say. 😁 To hear more of their rap flows, check out the cyphers 😁 if you want a rap song to make you cry, check out Outro: Tear. All three of them do really interesting things, distinctly different styles. Pairing Dope with Not Today is a great way to get your blood up. A hype song and a battle anthem 😂 Given how you react to songs, I think you might enjoy grouping them by theme... The comfort songs are beautiful in a very different way, and I don't think you've touched those yet. (They're mostly best to watch live, because audience interaction is a huge part of songs like Magic Shop and Mikrocosmos.) Not Today is one of my favorite doses of defiance. I pair it with On. I think by the end of Not Today you want to charge into battle with these guys and by the end of On you believe in your own ability to survive anything. Loved your reaction to Not Today. I'm here for you losing your mind anytime 😂
In this song there's not the craziest rap from the rap line... You have to react to their cypher 1,2,3,4.. Outro tear stage performance and their solo rm with joke.. suga with daewhi ta, August d n jhope arson and so on... Their rap are craziest good...the best rap from kpop as I known
I'm so happy that you love "Not Today" as much as you do. It's 1 of my favorite title tracks too, and yet I feel like it's severely underrated or not talked about as much in the ARMY fandom. It's 1 of the most epic and hard hitting songs I've ever heard in my life.
When I first started to hear BTS, this song was it for me. I started following them when Black Swan came out, so back in late 2019 early 2020 and if that peaked my interest Not Today totally sold it for. The day I heard Not Today was the day I became Army 100%. Till this day it's one of my top 10 songs of theirs and I don't predict it will ever leave that spot no matter what songs they release. It will always have a special spot in my heart and a song I always return to when I need an emotional boost.
@Tete12390 yes! Me too, I was brand new, I had watched like two other mvs, I'm not sure which ones, mic drop was one, but I watched this and that was it, done, an army forever!
NOT TODAY was, if I'm not mistaken, the 4th song I ever heard from BTS. And it became one of my TOP 10 immediately! *Dynamite *Boy with Luv *Black Swan *Not Today *Stay Gold *Blood, Sweat & Tears *FIRE *IDOL *DOPE *No More Dream+We Are Bulletproof (pt2)+Mic Drop My TOP 10 has no specific order!! And YES, it has more than 10 songs😂❤😂
Spring day and not today came out in about same time BTS versatility is insane!!! And I love these two songs so much and dope too like these guys don't have a bad song
yay not today is my all time fave bts song. as a disabled person who deals with a lot of pain and struggles and ends up fighting against depression due to how my life just fell apart, this is the song i put on when shit gets too hard and i just want to give up. i love dope too, but not today is the song that gets me to hang on and keep fighting.
Man I enjoy watching your reactions. To be honest, I prefer your second watch since I've never seen someone react to an entire song/video for the second time, and it's fun to watch people fall dumbfounded after watching their performance...please react more on BTS💜
There is SO much that you still have to discover from BTS! Thank you for appreciating their hard work and musicality. There are many k pop groups out there but BTS is a genre of its own. If you enjoyed their choreography you will really enjoy BTS best dance breaks as well as their dance practices. If you like, you can incirporate that into your reactions and watch the practice after the mysic video. There you will see a lot more footwork that you miss during the music video. Dont worry about pausing a lot, ARMY enjoys watching with you. We just get irritated with reactors who skip parts because that is how they miss important parts from the videos. Love watching you truly enjoy our tannies. Borahae xxx
I haven't looked to see what all you have reacted to yet, but if you like these two, you will probably also like "Ugh," "Danger", Fire, Baepsae (Silver Spoon), Jump and No More Dream
You should definitely check out their live performance specially (not today , mic drop, idol , on) looking forward to 2025 when they will be back & will broke all the records KINGS INDEED 👑🔥💜
Dope was the first song of BTS I ever listened to back in 2015. I haven’t stopped listening to them since. Bring on 2025, it is going to be awesome. Outro wings is one of my favourite songs as well as Run BTS (the song not to be confused with their show Run BTS 😂).
These two songs are awesome and always put me in a better mood. Not Today has fantastic, empowering “stronger together” lyrics and some of my favorite & imo most representative BTS lines ever, like the one you liked “trust the word ‘together’, trust it’s bulletproof” and “See, we couldn’t fail cuz our faith is entirely on each other”. They are all very talented, but I think these two songs reveal the keys to their immense success: hard TEAMwork & trust in each other.
It’s sooo cute that you always say at the beginning of a BTS video “OK….this is different”🤣. You are discovering WHY they are so beloved because they cover so many genres and create so many different concepts that they always surprise everybody. They NEVER Disappoint💜 Welcome to the fandom….I really enjoy your reactions!
Hahahaha 16:48 actually that happened all the time when I started to discover their discography. One favorite after another, and now I ended up with several bts only Playlists for every single mood I find myself in 😁
You should watch “war of hormones” by bts next. It has a similar musical vibe to Not Today. It’s my favorite bts song, but a lot of Army’s dislike it because the lyrics are controversial I guess. But I don’t have a problem with the lyrics.
You already did a reaction to ON but that has a similar vibe to Not Today. Also Jimin's solo song Set Me Free pt 2 has a similar feel as well! I think you'd love that one!
Obviously it’s too hard to pick a favorite BTS song, but my two favorite videos are Danger and Not Today! Something powerful and lovely and inspiring and just plain hype happens in them both. These guys always give 1000%. 💜 I enjoyed your reaction.
NOT TODAY is such a hype song that when you hear it you just want to workout and finish up your tasks and just You gotta utilize the energy they provide someway!! I would hear this while I'm fearing something or during boxing or exercise or during exams seasons like you are telling everyone you gonna be successful !! FOR SURE NOT GONNA FAIL NO NOT TODAY!!! (I got carried away didn't I?)
Jajaja he disfrutado mucho de tu reacción, esta canción, Fire y So what me levantan el ánimo en esos días que te sientes plof, nueva subs desde España 💜
When I was studying for my bar exams I had Dope, Fire, Moon and Mikrokosmos on a loop for months. Moon and Mikrokosmos to calm my stress and Dope and Fire to keep reminding myself that all the hard work would pay off in the end. I discovered BTS halfway through law school and I like to say they got me through it. 😂
BTS is the number 1 group on the world and kpop and ARMYS are the biggest fandom in the world and they call us crazy fans and you know why . They have a unique style and different that makes us never bored from there song . PROUD TO BE AN ARMY 🔮💜🔮
If I was drawn deeper into BTS by listening to’Dope’, ‘Not Today’ is definitely a Baffling, Mind Boggling song. Loved your reaction.. will watch out for more of BTS reactions from you.
Pls React to Jimin's solos 💜 he is working on new music currently so it would be great if u react to his other solo stuff and his debut album “face” released on march24 this year the title track “LIKE CRAZY” was that first song by an korean soloist and second male SOLOIST overall from Asia to rank #1 on Billboard hot 100
So, as you may have read in other comments, Dope is about hard work and the mentality of the "adults" in Korean society about it. The younger generations are called the " given up generation" as they don't "work hard enough" to get themselves basic things in rights such as a house for example. And they are attributed a number (n) referring to the things they gave up on (n po-sedae). Sam-po-sedae (Sam=3) refers to millennials who gave up on dating, getting married and having children. Oh-po-sedae (Oh=5) refers to millennials who gave up on all of the above (3 things) + employment and housing. Finally there is Chil-po-sedae (Chil=7) which would be giving up on all of the above + human relationships and hope. Basically, due to the difficult and hard economy and society, young people are giving up on their dreams and hopes. Even if the song is very upbeat and may seem a bit silly, BTS almost always talks about very important topics. I loved your reaction and will be waiting for more. And maybe "DARK&WILD" is a BTS album you might like. (PD: Sorry for my english, is not my first language.)
Your English is great! I’m finally glad to see what I guess is you not being new ARMY because you knew all the meanings behind the song and lyrics. Thank you 💜💜💜
I just learnt today what Rm meant by saying "given up on 3, given up on 5? I like 6..... can I get a little bit of hope... I was amazed that millennials feel that way. As a gen Z I thought we were worst but thankfully we have the Internet to get all our 7 and never to give up on anything 😂😂
Esta canción es mi mantra, cada vez que tengo un bajón me la pongo y me da fuerza para seguir. Es de mis favoritas. Ellos son extraordinarios 💜💜💜💜💜💜🫰 me encantó tu reacción
I’m loving your reactions bro, welcome to the army 💕 I’d recommend Come back home, Butterfly and House of Cards next so you get 3 insane and very different songs 🔥🔥
bro you have said multiple times that you love suga's rapping style. You've got to listen to "Agust D", "Daechwita" and "Haegeum" !! He goes by the name 'Agust D' as a soloist.
Not Today is an incredible anthem it’s damn powerful. As it should be quoting Martin Luther King in the chorus. To me this is the song to fight back with.
hola!..hice maraton de tus reacciones a BTS!!...cuando reaccionaras a las presentaciones en vivo???...son geniales, lo mejor!...espero sigas reaccionando a los chicos!
Me encantan tus reacciones a BTS y te invito a ver las presentación es en vivo como en canales de TV de corea como en los conciertos te van a hacer volar la cabeza es lo más genial de este mundo me gustan tus vídeos soy nueva en tu canal. Sarangheeeee
Not Today will always have a very special place in my heart. It was the very first song i heard from them, that i discovered by accident after listening to gangnam style. And it was the best accidental thing that happened to me 😂.
