FIRST TIME WATCHING | The MAKING of ON (Kinetic Manifesto) The Music Video | BTS 

Jimin danced so hard he split his designer pants during this MV! lol

So happy you went the extra mile and watched the making of. BTS did a special performance of ON for the jimmy fallon show at grand central station just before the world shut down for Covid-19. Not sure if you can air that but it’s really worth watching 💜

This MV won Best Choreography at the MTV Video Music Awards that year, and NO ONE was surprised when the winner was announced.😂

Jimin's hey na na na is on point!!

Honestly, the filming videos are some of my favorite parts abt a BTS MV. I'm so happy to see ppl checking these out!

Everywhere BTS goes the staff always talks about humble & kind BTS treats them. The guys are willing to pick after themselves & never forget their manners & make it a point to say hi & thank you & goodbye to everyone. They never act like they are better than those around then.

JIMIN has very unique voice . HE IS king of kpop Dance

Fun fact: Ariana Grande sat in their rehearsal at the studio and tweeted that its the most amazing thing she has ever seen. We dont even know what she was talking about then. LOL

JIn is usually the MC for each MV behind the scenes. The other members try to take over from him on almost each one , it's a standing joke with members and ARMY. another fun fact, the photography thought to many were in all black , so they spray painted white on Jin's jacket , it looks a bit blue in the MV. looks great. You should also watch, Not Today, both video and making of. Save Me, making of is good too as it's a one shot.

The choreography!!! You are so right. It's so crisp. And so perfect. They pride themselves in their perfect in sync choreography. They are famous for it and love upholding their reputation of being the best. Here is the background story. You saw the guide. You saw how hard it was for them to get booked or promoted. The company was poor. No money for promotions. But their boss, Mr. Bang, made an important decision. He told the guys since we have limited exposure when the public and media do see us we need to make a big impression. That's when Mr. Bang decided the choreography had to be impressive and unique and unforgettable. He did say he never controlled how many hours they had to practice. But along with Mr. Bang and their choreographer and the boys they decided to become the very best. He sent his choreographer to CA to learn all the newest and exciting hip choreography. Mr. Son came back and created The best KPop dance team ever. He even taught them to have the same point of vision ...where to look at the same time. BTS practiced hours and hours and hours. Sometimes 12 hours a day. But the boys loved it. And they loved the recognition they were getting. They loved building their dance reputation. They all put in 100%. To get there they put something into place that not many choreographers were doing at the time. They filmed the boy's practices. Pointed out moves that had to be "cleaned up". Then let the boys see the replay to see their mistakes. Then the boys learned how to see and fix their own mistakes. Brilliant. They luckily found Sienna, the very young brilliant innovative choreographer. She choreographed many other songs. The present choreographer became the performance director and oversees every detail of every performance. So Sienna's boss. Sienna famously choreographed the new concept of "Butter" performed live on stage at the Grammy's. It's a MUST see. It's brilliant. They got a standing Ovation. Very few groups get a standing Ovation at a filmed award show. She choreographed their most difficult choreography for the song "RunBTS". Not to be confused with their TV show "RunBTS" with the same name. You do know they have a TV show? Or the song and MV "Run". This choreography was being debuted at their final concert before military enlistment. However, we didn't know it was their final concert. They didn't tell anyone because they didn't want the fans to be sad. The final concert was held in Busan. Here is the unique experience of the boys learning that choreography. She filmed her dance troop, The Lab, dancing the choreography. And sent the film to Korea. The boys taught themselves the choreography by watching the film. On the filmed concert it was kind of hard to see the complete choreography. The lights were strobbing. They all wore black. The camera angles were weird. Sometimes just focusing on the top half of their bodies. So...the best way to see every detail of the choreography is to watch the dance practice. Back to "On" in CA. Even though it was dry heat it still was super hot filming in leather pants and leather jackets. And each take they did..they had to dance "full out". Like it was a Live Performance. Even when they were practicing inside on the last practice they fell to the floor exhausted...completely depleted. The same thing happened when filming for the perfect take for Jimmy's TV show. At the end when it was over many fell to the floor. Jimmy went to hug JK, and he could feel his fast beating heart through his back! Think about this. Their concerts are 3 hours long. And they dance full out. Not many people know that dancers are among The Most Fit athletes in the world. But you get that. I told you I watched BTS every day after their TV debut. Unfortunately, it's hard to relax and watch dance performances because we are trained to look for the mistakes so they can be fixed. I watched them for 6 months before I ever saw a mistake. RM had a brain fart and started doing choreography from a different song. But here is the thing...they are such experienced performers they never let on when making a mistake. They blend it in and keep dancing. Only choreographers can catch their mistakes. And just so you know JHope as their dance leader will point out every mistake after each performance. They will tell you...kind of jokingly that they live in fear of JHope and him catching their mistakes. One of the best mishaps that I don't call a mishap. Jimin slipped and fell on the floor. He kept doing the arm choreography, making it seem that was supposed to happen. BRILLIANT!

You have made history by adding some trivia no one knew before. That the dam was covered in graffiti. You've contributed to the BTS lore and proven what lengths the company and tech crew go to to provide a professional polished look. And here is some info for you. Yes. BTS members are so very kind and generous to thank everyone, especially the crew and staff. In fact. They have voiced their opinion many times on camera. Please give the crew a raise. They deserve it. You were right. They pulled out all the "big guns" to make an exceptional MV. Here's why. They were getting ready to debut their brand new album "7". And then begin their huge World Tour to promote themselves and the album. That's why the boys said..to paraphrase..I hope this video takes off. Some others have already mentioned this...BTS premiered and debuted "On" TV ...live on the Jimmy Fallon show. Jimmy has the boys in New York all weekend filming a long segment showcasing BTS. They started by actually filming in a real subway car. I won't give away what they did because I want you to find and watch their New York experience. Jimmy then took them to the famous Katz deli and had them serving up their famous pastrami sandwiches..then getting to eat those huge sandwiches themselves. They topped off the day at Grand Central Station. NBC rented the place for several hours starting at 1 a.m. to film BTS's TV debut of "On". When it aired on TV I just happened to be watching Jimmy's show, and he introduced BTS. I thought what a weird name. I had never heard of them before. And being from the musical theatre world...director, actress, choreographer, and techie...I've done it all hair makeup, set, etc. I was overwhelmed by their magnificent, stunningly exquisite performance. I had never seen choreography that beautiful and unique and performed so crisply. This was February 24, 2020. So again, they are promoting their new album and huge World Tour. I'm not sure if they recorded "On" in CA before or after this performance. But I saw this first. I got on RU-vid and have consumed BTS content Every day since then. Not kidding. Notice the date in particular. Do you understand the significance of this date? It was the beginning of the pandemic. The boys were called into a meeting. And their World Tour was cancelled. The whole world shut down. The boys were devastated. That's a whole another story of what happened to BTS during this time to be told later. They had worked so hard to film "On" in CA. And then this perfect debut. They NEVER got to perform "On" Live on stage for any fans. No one in the world saw it live. Luckily, they had filmed the MV. The boys vowed if they ever got to perform Live again, the first song they would perform would be "On". Again, another story for another time.

The group with the instruments and drums are the Blue Devils Drum and Bugle Corps. They have been national champions for years. D&B corps have brass and drums, amazing choreography, and flags. The ages are 16-21. They are based in LA, I've seen them a number of times!

And most of them are wearing black! I can almost feel the sun beating down. They are really good about staying grateful to the people that work with/for them. Honestly, plenty of people I’ve worked with would not bother to interact, let alone high five everyone. And you can tell it’s not just an obligatory thank you, it comes from a very real place.

Check out the making of fake love mv. People are amazed by the sets and effects in that one. Big hit went all out

So awesome! A fact about V is that he wears looser fitting clothing, as well as white, such as in this video, to accommodate his skin condition, Cholinergic Uticaria. They all help each other with their various needs. Love you guys and your reactions. I am a 76 yr old, Compton raised, Army!🤟💜🥰

I'm surprised anybody can get to 10:12 and not comment on how incredible it is that any human can look like that

I really enjoyed your reaction to this and like it when you pointed out how appreciative the members are of their backup dancers, crew, and staff. Each one is so humble and nice. Look forward to your reaction to the song IDOL and hope you also watch the explanation video. Their live performance of it at the 2018 MMA's was wonderful, too. You shouldn't be copyrighted when you watch it because so many others have reacted to it. 💜

Please react TINY DESK CONCERT - BTS

There are nothing but compliments from other artists/dancers/crew and even the custodians at the venues they've performed at, for BTS. I've never heard or seen a bad comment from anyone they've worked with or around. :)

need to see where they worked with the composition of the music in the studio in LA and the process with the band

I'm sure someone has mentioned this, but J-hope filmed in LA before this for his song "Chicken Noodle Soup" featuring Becky G. It's really fun song that you might want to check out someday too. It samples the song of the same name from New York artists DJ Webstar and Young B from 2006. The song was one of the first songs he learned to dance to and inspired his love for dance. Also, love your reactions, it makes my day better when I see a notification 😄❤

YES THAT'S THE BTS LOGO

BTS is just so unique, they are so heavily involved and care so deeply about their craft, and are still so hard on themselves and always striving to do even better. That’s why they’re on top!

They have an incredible personal around them, that has hold up the stage when it started to collapse on their performance of Idol, I think it’s was at a concert when it happened. They have always done the behind the scenes documentary for their videos and concerts, then the stage started to collapse it was a film crew doing their documentary that filmed it happening, and they chose to show that it happened. The guys was told right after that they had to change the last songs and not do any choreography because of the risk of the stage. Then they did the Idol performance on GDA (Golden Disc Awards) there’s fancams on the other artists that sits at a separate area and they made it move when they did the dance, you can see the reaction of the artists when it happened.

Love your reaction! Your intro music is dope! You were right Jimin's hair colour was a platinum grey, lol!

You should check out the making of fake love and blood, sweat, and tears 💜💜💜

Much respect to all the team behind BTS... many of their team have been with them since the beginning. With regards to the synchronisation of their dancing.... they even used to ensure their eyeballs were looking in the same direction.... they would go through the footage of each dance frame by frame to ensure they were in sync... 12 to 16hrs practice per day before performances to ensure they were perfect.

You also saw song son deuk.. the groups long long long time choreographer and stage director… but they have always contracted with outside choreographers like keone madrid, sienna lalau, Brian puspo, Jeffrey wright and many others There are always strong collaborations behind The scenes in writing Composing producing etc It’s a very interesting process to follow

They are so humble and always thanks all the people that work with them. They are great humans!

BTS used Carl Jung's analytical psychology to write the lyrics and make the official MV. It talks about accepting our shadows, which are those repressed parts of us. We can only evolve when we truly accept these repressed parts of ourselves. That's why the lyrics say "leave me with my everything" Only when we accept everything that is part of us can we find peace. By the way, the drums announce. the battle that will be faced... just as it was in the Middle Ages that soldiers were warned to prepare for battle with drums🇧🇷💜

Love you guys and respect your opinions. My father was a scenic artist in Hollywood for 45 years. I remember doing a Taco Bell commercial in Echo Park. We had to paint the bridge pink! You may have heard of him. William p. McGuire! If you don't that's okay too! So I kinda know where you are coming from. ❤😊

The whole project of ON was impressive from the two labor intensive videos directed by Choi Yong-Seok (LUPENS), the great collab with choreographer Sienna Lalau and The Lab dance crew, the use of The Solid Gold Sound of the UCLA Bruin Marching Band and the college choir to choosing top fashion designer Rick Owens for the outfits. They might make a lot of money but they spend a lot. 💜

The backup dancers and the leader are called the LAB❣️ They are very famous and have done shows like “Do you think you can dance” and many other competitions….enjoy❣️

Thanks for reacting to the making of videos. It’s interesting to hear your thoughts about how they were filmed, etc. not many reactors know about the behind the scenes info, please keep expanding on that!

Have you guys seen the official MV for this song yet? Sweet lord, it is beautiful.

They also performed this for a late night show at Grand Central Station in Manhattan. For some strange reason, I found that more incredible. I think it was because they shutdown the subway and Grand Central Station to do it, and I think of both of those as always busy.

They always take group photo's at the end of making an MV with everyone involved they are extremely good at praising the people they work with.

I was a casual BTS listener for a while but this song and MV are what made me Army :)

I highly recommend reacting to: BTS ‘On’ Contemporary Film: Dialogue on BangtanTV channel! The ppl who helped make this song (band & choir) talk about BTS and everything. It is a great watch.

💜 Thank you for this reaction. 💜

Thank you so much guys ,we love how you guys see every detail and talk about it..love you reaction as always.....and Please do react to some of their live performance now if possible you guys will definitely gonna love it.

Watch the 2018 Melon music awards, awesome 🎶👍💜💜💜

Thank you guys. This is one of my favorites 😊 Blessings to you both 🙏🕊🙏🕊🙏🕊🫰💜💜💜

Hahaha i think the hair is also sliver!

This is the content I was hoping for. Appreciated the little details you added, from a producer’s pov! Thank you! It was like an insider’s take on the “making of” lol. Like the fresh paint on the dam to cover the graffiti. 😂 Thank you. Loved this. 💜

Thus is such a comforting song for ARMY, esynow that they are all serving mandatory military service. Thank you for your respectful and honest review!! BORAHAE!! 💜💜

Yeah, you know how much effort everyone made👍 I really enjoy your reactions, and for this one you had some extra perspectives to share🙏♥️

Thank you for reacting💜💜💜please also react to their Japanese songs: Your Eyes Tell, Film Out, Lights, Let Go, Stay Gold and Crystal Snow and their Live Concerts with their medley songs!!! Will wait for your reactions❤❤ Borahae💜💜💜💜💜

IDOL is one of their hardest dances they have done, but ON beat that one a little bit. There is also a lot of details that you guys would love to see in IDOL. So please def check that one out, next or whenever it fits! Idol is also an amazing song that BTS performed with on shows, so it's without a doubt a good one! Love your reactions btw

To watch "On" at Grand Central..type on RU-vid.. BTS performing On for the Tonight Show Grand Central Park. A fan recorded it on her TV. The quality is good enough to watch. I watched The Tonight Show live that night. When Jimmy introduced them, I had never heard of them before. I thought....what a weird name! I was overwhelmed. Being a choreographer and director in the Musical Theatre world, I KNEW what it took to pull off that Stunningly Exquisite performance. The dance was perfectly precise! I immediately went on RU-vid to find out all about them. That was February 24, 2020. I have watched BTS content every day since then. Not kidding. I never saw a choreography mistake until I watched them for 6 months.

Next stop is PERMISION TO DANCE lezzzgoooo ❤

You can watch at ON Documentary film : Dialogue. This documentary shows that making ON wasn't easy.🤗

It’s so difficult I can’t even move 😂😂 they are all so talented shoutout to the team and back staff 🤍🤍🤍💜💜💜

good morning here is a little tid-bit did you notice at the 4:04 mark V clapped in ASL (American Sign Language). Deaf/hearing impaired people or CODA (Children of Deaf Adult) don't clap like hearing people. 90%sure V is the only member the knows asl, they even put it in the permissions to dance mv dance. 😊😉

Hi! I'd love to have your reactions to Suga's solo music videos - under the name Agust D. They're like mini-movies! Perhaps try the trilogy of Daechwita, Haegum and Amygdala for the continued storyline!

Guys, there’s also a ‘making of’ the official music video for ON as well. You’ll LOVE that!!!!

they did this live in the NY on Fallon show... it was up for a long time but taken down now... maybe one of the ARMY has it saved and can share it with you. There were no stops at the end when Jimmy hugged them he could feel their heartbeats through their clothes and their heavy breathing. It was an amazing one time shot.

BTS were quietly in LA around Jan-Feb 2020 to film the videos for On (2 different versions, one in the SM mountains) and Black Swan at the LA Theatre in DTLA. They were supposed to launch their world tour that spring at the Rose Bowl then… lockdown.

Hope this will become a habit of yours- to also react to the Making Film after you watch its MV. You can also learn how hard BTS and their crew worked on their craft. Also, BTS doesn't usually use CGIs on their music videos especially before pandemic

Thank u for support our guys 💜💜💜 i recommend u see Idol 😊

Son tan simpáticos los dos , me encanta ver sus reacciones sobretodo de mis babys BTS y espero ver las reacciones de solista de Jimin por favor... gracias!!❤❤

You might be interest to know that the marching band members are part of SoCal's Blue Devils.

Watch the making of "Save Me" by BTS and you can see it was all done in one shoot.

Springday by bts

Hi. Love to watch your reactions and honest comments. BTS does work hard and their are extremely disciplined (I think that is the reason why they have made it so well during their Military service) I would love to watch your reaction to IDOL, the dancing in that song is great!! BTW, I think you can already call yourselves part of the army!!! You just need to learn who is who by name! Love from Chile.

This was great! Loved your commentary from the perspective of producers and the fact that you had shot that location too!

Check out the Grand Central performance and behind the scenes of ON !!!

Definitely do IDOL MV. It's fun and colorful.

It was interesting that you pointed out that the graffiti had been painted over. I always thought that it the dam looked very clean. They often use drones when filming. V’s fake neck tattoo became more extensive each time they performed this. The writing on his face says, ‘The shadow like me’. He thought that the thorns fitted the concept and asked if he could have them drawn on. He didn’t have them for the Permission to Dance concerts which were the first time they had the chance to perform this to ARMYs. Presumably it would’ve been too tricky to remove when doing the quick change for the next song. They have since filmed in LA again but this time it was in an abandonned theatre when they filmed, ‘Black Swan’. That is a must to watch. ‘Idol’ will blow your mind. They threw everything at that one to clap back at the haters. It’s such a joy to watch, a psychedelic masterpiece.

Once a reporter asked V what his favorite lyrics were in “On”. He reflected for a few seconds, then with serious expression, he answered, “Hey, na na na”! 🤣

We need to see the documentary as well! Really important.

On is really a fantastic song and MV of the members! But I would choose the Manifesto and the Behind the scenes more from a dancers point of view. My favourite one is definitely the Music Video and as a highlight the scene which reminds a bit to Lord of the rings, soooo impressive!

This is one of my favorite songs / performances as well! It’s fun watching your reactions! I enjoy your comraderie and laughs! BTS also performed this LIVE for Jimmy Fallon at Grand Central Station. There was also a “behind the scenes making of” video for that performance which was awesome! Hope you find a chance to enjoy them too 💜💜💜👀

You should try to watch spring day + explained video

V looks so hot and Jungkook ❤

That's it. Good job❤ Thank you so much.

They performed this song Live on the Tonight Show at Grand Central Station in New York very early 2020. That's worth a watch too, since you really enjoy this song! I believe there is a behind the scenes for that one as well.

Pls react to Fake love and Blood Sweet and tears

You guys are the best, so glad you're doing the making of videos!

Love to see your reactions!!!....There is also a behind the scenes of Black Swan, like most BTS MV's!!! #OT7 #ARMY

Yeahhhh

Loved your reaction,and input. You were correct, the dancers are called The Lab. Just moments ago I noticed the: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MZh-w2nysuI.html BTS Performs "ON" at Grand Central Terminal for The Tonight Show just resurfaced from it being taken done. Go check it out. I love both, Kinetic Manifesto and the Grand Central Station performance. At one time there was a Making of/ behind the scenes at Grand Central Station. Crazy you posted this today with the release of Jimmy Fallon one. Blessings

You'll love Idol!

Where they practice it's in their pratice room/gym in korea thats why theres that BTS logo😊😊😊

It was fun watching this again with you both and hearing your impressions & insights as producers. Drones are used quite a lot in their productions. They even creatively incorporated drones into their mv for “Dope” ( SUGA / Yoongi’s part) from 2015 back in the day when their company was still small and cash strapped. Even on a strict budget they always crafted quality mv in interesting ways. Watching one of the making / behind of Dope I was shocked how loud the swarm of drones were.

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

My favorite song and mv from them!

💜💜💜

Fun fact: The Lab joined BTS on stage to perform On during BTS' Los Angeles stage tour called 'Permission to Dance' in November 2021. This was their first tour after the pandemic. It was nothing short of spectacular to watch in-person! 🎉💜😎

💜💜💜💜thank you again🥰💜💜💜

Would love to see your reaction to IDOL. Such a different MV from the ones you've seen so far. Remember to watch the explanation vid by DKDKTV though to get the full appreciation and cultural context though.

You guys do make reactions fun for sure😊Thanks for another entertaining one💜

Please do the behind the scenes of Save Me too! 🙏
