He's done it again! Heartbreaking, but so quintessentially Justin | 'kaibigan' music video Reaction 

Very in depth rv - explained even the artistry of the mv...glad to get this break from voting for SB19 @ the BBMA fan Army

@@jeandebelen204 Thank you! Yeah I don't know how to vote for this, because I went to the site, and it just gave me an article that was open, with no option to vote?

OH MY GOSH! Sygmafied, no I have NOT noticed that! OMG you have opened my eyes! What a creative mind both you and Justin have! I genuinely didn't even think of that! You're right though, I see it! OH MY GOSH! Thank you for opening my eyes and my mind to this!

@@kennethiain my pleasure! 💚

Oh my gosh, and that's why his world is so fantastical 😔

Yes 😭😭😭

I did not see that this was a trilogy, and now knowing, from you, what Surreal means, actually makes Surreal so much sadder! I loved Surreal for its seemingly overwhelming positivity, but now that I know it's a coping mechanism. OH I'M SCARED FOR SONG 3, mele! I'M SCARED! (excited too)

No worries, Kenneth. Kaibigan's ending scene showed the guy's decision to move on as he was burning the things that would remind him of his unrequited love. In Surreal, he chose to imagine the good or happy side of his relationship with his friend. Its ending scene showed he was healing from the pain (Band-Aids on his arm & leg); the mv teaser scenes showed bandaged feet, band-aid on his cheek. I'm hoping & expecting his next song to be positive & cheerful, with a happy ending. 😊

@@mele1122 Oh I thought he was burning stuff in anger

Thank you for watching! I was! I was on the verge of crying, I definitely felt this song, and the emotions conveyed both through the music, Justin's vocal performance, and the music video and its cinematography. It's funny, I was just listening to the song, and it was getting to the last part of the song, and again I was on the verge of crying. Like I can feel the first tears welling up. I love that Justin is able to bring that emotion from me (and so many others, of course). It's a sign of true artistry,!

Mele in the comments mentioned that the song was a sequel to kaibigan and now it's heartbreaking thinking it's a defense/coping mechanism because of the events of kaibigan. I've been da-da-da-dee-da-ING all this time, not knowing this! Apparently there's a third song, making this a trilogy? I'm scared we're going to get even more emotional. I didn't cry this time, but only just -- I was holding firm haha!

Yes, it's a trilogy song. This will be the 1st part then the next song will be the 2nd part and the surreal is the last 😭

@@r.a.3235 I heard that Surreal was the second part?! I'm confused

@@kennethiain correct surrreal is the second part

@@p-poptv Okay, thank you!! I was really unsure!

Oh okay! Thank you for the information! I really appreciate it!!

HE'S GOING TO BE ACTING?! WHAT SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE DO I HAVE TO BUY?!😆😆

And the way you read it can be translated to “beloved”. When read a different way, it means friends.

Thank you so much for the kind words! I really appreciate it! I've been told my Filipino friend that when I tried out some phrases I sounded like I was speaking Tagalog with a Korean accent haha! Always! I feel like I missed some things I realised after reacting, but always!

I love words like that!

WAIT THE WAY I SAID IT imdreamingofawhite?

@@kennethiain yes. The way you said it would make the word mean “Beloved” or “the one that is loved”. If one says it as Ka-i (long e sound)- b (as in Bee)- gan (like gun, the weapon), the word translates to “friend”.

Thanks for watching! And of course!!

From the hints Justin had been giving (that I had my Filipino friend translate for me), and the way the MV started, I thought Nicole's character was going to be hoping that she and Justin could be together, and then it changed. AND THEN THE CRIES AND BREAKDOWN FROM JUSTIN. I felt SO bad! Especially because then you see the rest of the MV in that light, and realise he was just seeing almost what he wanted to see

Thank you for supporting SB19❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

@@doloresperry7500 Of COURSE! No need to thank me!

I feel the same, but also: WHY JUSTIN HAVE TO BREAK OUR HEARTS LIKE THAT?!

That's why I was really taken aback. I got what the song was about from what Justin had said/shown, but the way it was being told, it felt like she was the one hoping to be in the relationship with Justin -- and so that's why it felt like such a plot twist. Looking at it now, I can definitely see your vision with this: she wanted to make sure that despite their relationship going no further than friends, that by saying that it wouldn't go any further, she wouldn't lose him to the heartbreak. But unfortunately, Justin's character did take it like you said: he read into it, and thus his disappointment was even more heart-breaking than it would have been otherwise. Oh he is SO creative, Aries! I didn't know this was a trilogy going into this, though I was aware of the link with Surreal through the album artwork text. I am scared! He's made us happy, he's made us cry -- I don't know what is next. I'M SCARED! You have a good eye, so I trust you'll find clues I wouldn't even think were clues aha! Thank you for watching! Stay safe too!

@@kennethiain yes, it was so interesting.. if you've watched the trailer before these releases, it was just like a passing thing. But now that i get a glimpse of Justin's mind, i began to look closely to the narration and he mentioned 3 things: Memories, Promises and Life.. Some says Surreal is the aftermath of Kaibigan, like after he was heart broken, he began to imagine a world to his liking.. but maybe it's the other way around? Maybe he began imagining a world and believed in it, that it was one of the reason he was so heartbroken in Kaibigan. Also, Kaibigan is a wordplay.. The term in simply means "Friend", but a change in the stress (Ka-ibigan) means "A lover" ... ☺️

@@ariesindigo3479 Yes I'm aware of the meaning of kaibigan based on pronunciation/stressing. I think I watched the teaser on TikTok? But I don't remember it being in English. I know he posted some TikToks/Shorts, which had Tagalog texts in them, and I asked my Filipino friend to translate them -- which she did. But I will be honest, I don't remember the teasers very well, because I was trying this time to try and keep away from spoilers, if that makes sense? Yeah I'm confused on the order of this trilogy. But maybe that's intentional

Oh 100%! I will never da-da-da-dee-da the same ever again 🥺

​@@kennethiain😢😢😢

I'm scared, given that kaibigan was the prequel in the story. Justin better give me a happy ending for the third song. I was close to crying in this one, but I held firm! Hahaha!

@@kennethiain LOL ... but I have a feeling it will be a love song next time 🙏

@@ChristineMPL *prepares*

​@@kennethiainimagine the third song is where Justin pairs up with one of the boys in SB19? Lmao

@@jayanndangel3374 oooh! That's interesting! I dunno if he would do that so early in his solo career? So far, it feels like they've each been trying to carve their own directions in their solos! But it would be cool to see if the third one was a duet with one of the members!

I really appreciate you taking the time to say this! I always try to be invested in songs, but SB19 (Justin in this case) makes it really easy to be!

Well that's really nice of you! Thank you!

It is very strong indeed I don't think something bad necessarily happened to his friends, unless you have information I don't. I think that scene of Justin's breakdown is his realisation that all that he thought about his friend was all in his head, and meaningless, in the end, because she was forming a relationship with the other friend. Again if you have information I don't have, I'd love to read/see it etc! But yes! I also can't wait for Justin's third release! Thank you for watching!

Thank you for the kind words!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!

I know...they were on screen!

Aw that's beautiful! I didn't even think of the bandages

My reply doesn't seem to be posting, but I love that pronunciation makes such a profound difference!

I like Justin too! He's great!
