FIRST TIME HEARING SB19! THEY ARE GOLD! (Reaction) SB19 - GENTO 

13:46 - Moniko alludes to an expert mechanic. It originally stems from the famous Filipino tongue twister, mentioning Moniko the mechanic. Darna is a female superhero in Filipino lore who swallows a magical stone each time to transform from an ordinary lass to a superwoman (much like Wonder Woman). Using these two allusions, the song delivers a message that one has his own strength and power within himself that he does not have to wait for someone else (Moniko) to face his challenges for him nor has to rely on an external entity to beef himself up (Darna swallowing stone). It all comes down to hardwork and dedication, painstakingly doing the grind with every ounce of inner strength and power.

This is so insightful. Love seeing people who digs deep into the lyrics and symbolism.

honestly, you're one of a handful reactors who took the time to understand the lyrics of this banger! Thank you for this reaction!

This is the best breakdown ever. Thank u. I posted this on my fb. ❤❤❤

i like reactors dig deep to visual and lyric details. just subs. more of SB19 BAZINGA mv topped no. 1 in BILLBOARD HOT MUSIC TRENDS and run for 7 consecutive weeks beaten butter of bts. 🤗💕🎉🌏🎶💙

The brains behind the MV is Justin, the guy with the golden retriever and the creative director of SB19. Everything is based on what Pablo (their leader who was baking a potato in the beginning) had as a message in his lyrics. Apart from their collaborations which have lyrics written by outsiders, SB19 writes, produces or co-produces their songs, directs and conceptualizes their MVs, have a hand in the choreography, and manage themselves and their production company, 1Z. Each member has solos projects in his favorite genre and contribute heavily to their group projects too. They’re just built different. I hope you have fun exploring the rabbit hole that is our Mahalima (Beloved Five).

Insightful breakdown. SB19's songs composed by Pablo have beautiful and deep lyricism.

OMG!!! you interpreted it right even about the alien in the end. I subscribed!!! will wait for more reactions of the songs of SB19. Note that Pablo, the leader of the group with the long hair is the composer of the songs and he likes to play with words (usually have double meaning). He is the leader of the group, the CEO of their company and had won awards for his song writing ( people say he is a genius but he claims he is only hardworking)and as a group they have been winning awards for their uniqueness and their beautiful rendition of their songs plus their dance choreo. they also have their solo songs. they sing different genres. Suggest you watch their MV and compare their live performance on wish bus and concerts. for the tagalog songs check for the ones with subtitles. For you to know them better, suggest you watch the documentaries created in YT by Cashual Chuck. Good luck with your journey with SB19. a lot of A'tin pronounced ask eighteen will subscribe to you channel, i promis you that haha!

i think you are a match for SB19 cause you will enjoy all their songs as there are different bars for each. Next is Bazinga and What .. you will love it

One of the best reaction for GENTO ever. 😋

I like this dude.. so keen & real

All of sb19's song have deeper meanings.i know you will enjoy it.nice breakdown 👏👏👏

Man, you have sharp eyes! You caught things that many of us missed even though we've seen this vid 100x already. The duck eyes? The transitions? The connection between the "Ew, filthy!" to taking a shower? 👏👏👏

SB19's Pablo's solo songs LA LUNA (music video) and DETERMINADO ( lyric video) have great bars. You'll enjoy the lyricism and word play.

Oh to the M to the G! He interpreted correctly the lyrics from the very beginning till end...even the alien...now i know why there's alien at the end of the MV😂😂😂😂 VERY SMART REACTOR...IM THINKING REZPEZ CHANNEL IS THE BEST....BUT THESE CHANNEL NOW ON TOP FOR ME..... PLEASE A'TIN, LETS SUPPORT HIS CHANNEL

You're the second reactor that translate full lyrics.... you're on top among all reactor of GENTO. Hands down to you sir.

Thank you sir for the amazing reaction...well said, sb19 5 dancers, 5 rapper and 5 singers..you can dig in some of their songs live at wishbus live 107.5...they are called our ppop kings and live vocal monsters ...

The shower scene is fan service but at its core, an ode to hardwork. “Ramdam ko ang power” is a reference to “kili kili” power. Literally the armpit stink but in this case, sweat, the stench of hardwork. But now it’s paying off and they’re smelling good.

Wow you got the exact meaning of the song...A'tin no more explain it to u😊...SB19 SONGS has bars actually ...welcome to Sb 19 you must dig in to their songs they sing different genre...they are amazing group...

Hello! here are some few notes since the song have a lot of Filipino references: 1. Pablo cooking scene - The ingredients in the pot he's cooking are for the Filipino dish called "nilaga", this is reference to PH proverb, "Pag may tiyaga, may nilaga" which means "hard work has its rewards" 2. Stell shower scene - In PH since the weather is very hot here our body produces this "sour" smell in the armpit (that's why we always use deo) so people who don't take care of their hygiene here are called "maasim" literally "sour" so then he said in the lyrics that no matter how sweaty and sour he smell after all the hardwork he did all day the haters are more "sour" than him/them. 3. Josh rap part - He said that he will not swallow a stone because he's not Darna, Darna is a PH Icon Comics hero, she swallows a "stone" before she transform on her Darna form, so what he's saying is he's no superhero - He said that he's his own mechanic and don't need "Moniko", this is reference to a PH tongue twister: "Minikaniko ni Moniko, ang makina ni Monika" which translate to "Moniko fixed Monika's engine" so he's saying that he doesn't need anyone's help to build himself 4. Justin switch with the dog - This is reference to Filipino term "dogshow" used when you are clowning/making fun of something/someone. It can either be you're making fun of another person or you're making fun of yourself. It's "dogshow" because on literal dog shows, the dogs are being displayed to the public to make "tricks" who else does "tricks"?---- Clowns. 5. SB19 no eyebrows scene - If you raised your eyebrows on someone, you're judging them, right? Or being mean to them. On the MV the lyrics says to burn their brows. In PH there is this saying when you are studying hard, "nagsusunog ng kilay" which means burning their brows because their faces are buried on the book. So they're probably saying that instead of raising your eye brows on someone (judge them) why don't u just burn your brows (study) because the haters are basically dumb.Also, GENTO IS A FILIPINO SLANG WORD FROM GANITO WHICH MEANS LIKE THIS. GINTO means GOLD EXTRA: Not a Filipino reference but at the end, the alien scene, they were actually mocked by people (Majority,Filipinos,on this Alab MV.) (watch ALAB mv and focus on the last part) This is because during that time they are fully managed by their Korean management SBT which made them do things they don't want to do as the group. But now they are already self managed called 1Z ENTERTAINMENT. In Alab MV, for example, they are promoted as "PPOP" but the MV literally starts and ended with someone speaking in Korean so PH netizens bashed SB19 about being a KPOP wanna be, no originality, and having no Filipino roots in their music. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REACTING THEIR MUSIC. PLEASE LISTEN TO THEIR MUSIC(THEY ARE LIVE MONSTERS!( NEVER DO LIP SYNC AND NEVER USE AUTO TUNE)AND CHECK MORE ABOUT SB19,BECAUSE THEY REALLY STARTED FROM SCRATCH.💙💙💙

Just subscribe for the good reviews to our P-POP Kings!!! More SB19 please! God bless on your channel🩵

Aww professor Snake, my fave EZ Mil reactor for quite a while now ...... and now an SB19 reactor too! Oh My EZmilDevotee & A'TIN/Sisiw heart!

As 🇵🇭🇺🇸You first caught my attention when you reacted to Ez Mill and now to my new favorite Ppop Kings SB19 Wow! I enjoyed your breakdown of the lyric, I was also laughing/dancing with you and learned lot. (I'm sure we all did) You’re awesome!!! SB19 will amaze you, not only they're very talented, but they are also very humble and ❤ by so many people. So get ready to gain more subscribers. Let’s Go🇵🇭

This is probably the most satisfying reaction video that I've watched in my entire life. The way how you decode all of those clues and messages that our boys put in to this mv is mind-blowing. Their are even things that we didn't see until you mention it. More of this please. I suggest Bazinga and What MV next.

For me, you're the real reactor so far, taking time to analyze the lyrics, the images shown, the transitions, the depth of the message, etc... you gave justice to the art of SB19... I believe that's how the reactors should be doing.

SB19 always has messages in their video, most are caught others fly over others head.. Great reaction!!!

You just found Gold (Ginto/Gento) there. Double entendre for "Like This" (slang). You'll be amazed more of them. You see they are the PPop Kings. Next up is WHAT? MV. It's 🔥🔥🔥

You should react to their 2023 AAA Live Performances with Ateam(Jpop group), their vocals were insane. Plus, they had the crowd screaming and kpop idols like stray kids, newjeans, and others that were seen vibing to their performances!!!

GENTO = like this GINTO = gold

You can only fully understand the last scene where there's Aliens if you're an OG fan.

Hands down for that keen observation I've been watching gento yet I've just notice just by now that the duck's eye move after you said it bro wowww

Pls see them sing and dance live the Gento or Crimzone. Its d0pe. ❤❤❤

when you dont need to explain what the song means coz the reactor get it perfectly 😅

I got Gento-schooled through your breakdown...so deep.. so much thanks!

Apparently,the aliens looking in is a reference to those who are alien to their music stumble on them and their musical gems and on doing that these ones see other Filipino artists who are also musical gold. Thanks for your great insight into this wonderful mv

Ginto - Gold Gento - Slang of the word "ganito" which means "Like this" so it's really a cool world play for us Filipinos.

GENTO was released a year ago. But its the first time seeing someone's digging deeper to this song! WOW! You're genius!

Finally, you reacted to SB19. I'm so happy. I love your energy and your breakdowns so it's really nice to see you experience SB19 for the first time. Aside from writing meaningful songs, all SB19 members are also awesome rappers, singers, and dancers. Thank you for the RV. I enjoyed it a lot.

❤❤thank u for your RV..hope you will do more SB19 RV.. 1.WHAT? 2.BAZINGA 3.MAPA(LYRIC VEDIO) 4.LIHAM(LYRIC VEDIO) 5.CRIMSON AND YOU CAN ALSO CHECK THERE LIVE PERFORMANCE AT WISHA BUS..😊😊😊THANK YOU

YOW MY MINDDD IS BLOWWWWNNN THE ENDING IS CRAZZYYY PS : ATLEAST IM NOT THE ONE WHO THINK OF THIS HAHA

All songs of SB19 are certified Meaningful, especially the ones that they wrote/produced which is, most of their songs. They are not your typical pop artists that mostly focused on the vibe of the music(which is not bad, coz it is still depends on the listener's preference) but they are also great lyricists/composers. Actually, they maybe fall on the pop genre but believe me, they have wide variety of music.

Sb19's leader, lyricist and producer loves playing on words. Likrcin his song he played with words gold (ginto in filipino) and like this (ganito in filipino, shortened into gento) so he basiccally means that everything they do is gold or turns into gold, an instant hit.

Your IQ is high😂😂😂you see everything and interpreted the song very well that a lot us missed to see😂😂😂👏👏👏👍I loved the way you interpreted the song👍😁(Monico -is some kind of tongue twister regarding fixing or a car mechanics,Darna- is a local hero that if she swallowed her magic stone,turn her into a super hero😁)

You’re about to go on a rabbit hole like you did w EZ! 😂 welcome hahahahah

If you know their story about what they’ve experience before when they were under a company, you’ll know the meaning of that “huge dog” and the aliens on the last part😬

20:34 - Another aspect about burning eyebrows is that they are figurative words in Philippines that mean "studying hard". Burning the eyebrows till someone learns means to put that person in a situation where he has to study until he gets it. It's implying that someone can make careless assumptions and commentaries because they don't know well.

Wow the best ever RV i've ever heard, thank u sir!!!👏👏👏

PPOP KINGS SB19💙💙💙

thank u i love sb19

Love your breakdown ...subscribing for future sb19 related content

The aliens represent the Korean company that managed them during the initial stages of their career when they were trying to launch their career.

I’m lucky watching here on your first time to react SB19. Youre reaction is very real. Thank you.

Casual Chuck sent me here🤩

Welcome to the world of Sb19! This is just the tip of the iceberg. You will discover more amazing songs, videos and performances. You will never regret finding them.

Bro i like you're breakdown to this🔥

Gento = Like this Ginto = Gold Writer loves wordplay 🥰

You might like SB19's CRIMZONE too. It has an official lyric video. It would be great if you can check their live performances too: live on Wish Bus (vocals) and Manila Day 2 Pagtatag Tour (HD fan cams, vocals + choreography).

CRIMZONE please! I like your rv. You don't just watch and narrate what you see on the video which some of the reactors tend to do. This is the best reaction to Gento that I've watched so far.

"Gento" is actually a shortened tagalog word from "ganito" which means "like this" it also rhymes with "ginto" which means gold in tagalog

I was waiting for you to notice the "my stories are now storeys" line hahaha

I liked your video as soon as you gave your thoughts on the first pause. Very clever... I will definitely look forward to more of your reactions to their other songs. Their songs (and MVs) are filled with all kinds of meanings and laid out in this style of lyricism/wordplay, courtesy of the group's leader, songwriter, composer, producer - PABLO (the long-haired). Some of my faves: ***Hype/EDM/DancePop/HipHop/Hybrid: CRIMZONE WHAT? BAZINGA MANA (Mana = Inheritance; Mana is also short for Manananggal, which is a vampire-like myth creature whose body split into two with the upper flying and the lower half remains on the ground. In SB19's vocabulary, it means humility and remaining grounded even when soaring high.) ***Disco Pop: WYAT (Where You At) ***R&B: I WANT YOU ***Ballads: MAPA ILAW NYEBE They also have Solo singles. You might wanna check out PABLO's (rap/hiphop) songs - LA LUNA and DETERMINADO.

@SnakeVenom , your interpretation is on point . WOW! I was so amazed the way you breakdown the lyrics ,it's just wonderful to watch you getting inspired by the lyrics..FYI sir, Pablo ,the leader who sang the 1st part wrote this song with the collective effort of SB19 members..I really love your reactions..

Included this song and MV in my Literary Criticism Class. I hope my students will be able to critque it as profoundly as you did. Thank you, Sir. It was fun watching your RV.

I came here because of Casual Chuck he’s a you tuber promising A’TIN ,you are recommended on his live in YT and still live as of now. 💙💙💙💙💙

A'TIN here for our boys SB19 👍💙

The best breakdown I’ve ever heard to reactor😊

I have subscribed to your channel now, thank you sir for appreciating Filipino talents like EZ Mil, one of our amazing artists..By the way, SB19 are all rounder, they can sing rap ,sing and dance well..they are self-managed, self-produced and write their all songs, they are so passionate with music and that's what makes me love them more❤️😎🥰😍💞🎵🎶🎼🎶😘

cool reaction and yo you're definitely spiritual to perceive such message. You'll also uncover things worth more than gold reading the new testament especially the kjv audiobooks on youtube. God bless you and your channel

Gento means “like this” (slang for the Tagalog word gan’to) and “gold” (ginto).. this is indeed the life story of SB19. How, from VERY humble beginnings, with all the bashing, ridicule, and hate they got, they worked hard to be where they are today. And they are not done yet! Glad you have discovered them. Your breakdown of the song is so on point! Thank you. 😊

A great analization, I think Pablo (who rap about mephisto and he's also the leader of the group) should see this he's the one who wrote almost of their songs.

Dope reaction man! always top tier breakdown. btw I loved SB19 songs, They are built different!!

Our P-pop kings! Your the first reactor I’ve watched that really got the message of their song. Their songs always have wordplays and deep meaningful lyrics worth diving into. Can’t wait for your reactions to their other songs like WHAT?, WYAT, Bazinga, Crimzone and their ballad songs.

Wow what a reaction, you noticed everything and even though I’m Filipina , I did not realize there’s more I missed on the message. SB19 are very talented and Pablo very good lyricist. Wow thank you for this detailed and well done reaction. 👍🏼👍🏼

This reactor is Genius. His understand deeply the song

💯🔥🔥🔥Reactioneer

you nailed it(reaction)...salute

They started with scratch... nobody can stop them now. That's the story

Yeey been waiting for this.❤ Next Bazinga mv, What? mv, WYAT mv, Crimzone and I want u. Thanks!

If you're wondering about the last part. It is about their last management which was a Korean company. Now they are self manage. So it's like a sarcasm to their former management that represents the Aliens. Now that they are self manage they can express their artistry in whatever they want by not putting them in a box.

just cant get my eyes off of your f.r.i.e.n.d.s cap❤ i want one too😢

I came here For cashual chuck! Hello!❤❤❤❤❤❤ thank for reacting sb19,❤❤❤❤❤

You are awesome! We do appreciate and love your reaction video. More please! ❤

Wow u are right! their songs have a lot of meaning...

Thank u for the his reaction💖💖💖

You seemed to love their music video. More recommended MVs from SB19 that are enjoyable to watch and listen to name a few are WHAT? and BAZINGA. And if you're interested in their live performances to these songs which are even better vocal wise, check out their WISH BUS live performances.

Wow sir your take on this song is on different level just like knox hill does interpretation more points above thanks for sharing and hope you could see them more.

Geez you are smart, you saw things within the first 30 seconds of the video. These young boys are multi talented and brilliant. They are deep. They wrote lyrics of their songs and they speak out from their experiences. You will know them as you discover some of their masterpieces. They are so adorable. Gento has double meaning They derived the word from two Tagalog words: GINTO means GOLD GANITO means LIKE THIS More power to your channel and God bless🙏

Even🎉evil maphisto can't stop them from digging their gold or dreams 😊

SB19❤❤❤❤❤

Super galing critique of the song “ Gento”

I like your energy! Glad you enjoy the mv. Gento has become quite a popular Tiktok dance challenge since the song's release last year.
