Jung Kook - Standing Next to You - Reaction by a Rock Radio DJ 

47 y.o. metalhead mom of two here... Been an ARMY (BTS fans) since 2016, not because they're KPOP but because they offered me healing for my soul. I don't even listen to other Korean group but these boys steal my heart.

51 year old metal head here and BTS is magnificent. I'm not into kpop either, just BTS 💜

So here's the thing about BTS and the individual members... not really Kpop. BTS is pretty much its own genre and kpop, really, is more of an industry than a genre anyway. Often times, it seems like the Western music industry keeps labeling any artist from Korea as "Kpop" in order to kind of keep them in their place... JK's song "Seven" won "Best Kpop Song" at the BBMAs... it was sung in English, recorded in LA, written and produced by Americans, the MV was recorded in LA, and the feature was Latto... and American rapper; the only thing Korean about the song was the Country the singer was from... yet the song was nominated in "Best Kpop", not "Best Pop"... all of this to say... do not adhere to the labels placed on these artists by the West. BTS also gets dismissed as a "boy band" which one, is unfair to boy bands because they work their asses off and put out some of the most long-lasting bangers we ALL listen to, and most importantly, most of the elements that defined "boy bands" in the West, do NOT apply to BTS... BTS write/co-write the majority of their music, they produce/co-produce the majority of their music, they are ALL the Justin Timberlake of the group (yes, they are all that good) they sing, rap, dance, write, produce... and their mics are ALWAYS HOT... no lip-synching. They practice incredibly hard to be able to sing and rap live while dancing.

I'm a 32 year old woman and been a fan of bts since they debuted in 2013. Their fans Army are absolutely helpful when getting to know bts as well.

Please remember that K-Pop (=Korean popular music) is an industry and not a genre. One of my favorit songs by BTS is "Danger". It's kinda rock inspired. (Sorry for bad spelling, but English is not my native language) Hope to see more reactions to BTS and/or to their solo projects. I'm a 53 y.o. ARMY from Denmark 💜 Btw. ARMY consists of ppl from all paths of life. All ages, genders, races and so on. 💜

Kpop is not a genre, it's more like the industry. Jungkook or JK for short is from BTS, a 7 member group from South Korea. Although they started from hip hop, their discography is diverse. You definitely see dancing in kpop. It's how they express their music. Standing next to you is the title track for JK's solo album, Golden released last month. Since their hiatus announcement last year, BTS members has been working on their solo projects before enlisting to the military. As of 12/12/2023, all 7 members including JK are in the military to fulfill their mandatory military service for 18-21 months. Other songs by JK that have mv or performance video are Seven ft Latto, 3D ft Jack Harlow and Hate You. These are from his solo album. It's funny when you mentioned Usher because there's a performance video released recently of Standing next to you Usher remix. For BTS songs, try on kinetic manifesto or not today. Turn on the captions for subtitles. They actually have 3 english songs (dynamite, butter, permission to dance) released during the pandemic to cheer up people. So it's more on the happy poppy side 😊.

It’s so funny that you mentioned Usher because he actually did a remix to this song with Usher! He’s a phenomenal live performer (all of BTS are!) and his Tonight Show performance is incredible. BTS are extremely versatile, both as individuals and as a group. His fellow member V released a very jazzy album recently and performed on Tiny Desk; I really highly recommend checking out that performance (with subtitles). A much different voice than JK’s! If you’re into rap, I recommend checking out his fellow member Agust D’s song Haegeum or another member called RM who released a song called Wildflower. Subtitles are a must. Whatever you think BTS is, they’re not. Jungkook is the youngest and is 26. They’re all currently in the Korean military but have a ton of music they’ve released over the last 10 years. Their music has very sophisticated and meaningful lyrics and they’re all very talented songwriters, producers, and dancers. The vocalists are very skilled and so are the rappers.

The old lady beside you at the traffic light might just be an ARMY. Also my husband is more into their music than me, so it's not just for the "ladies," good music good lyrics good production good perfirmabce is what it is, anybody can get into it as long as they get pass the cliche and I'm glad my husband didn't need any convincing when i showed him a video of bts.

I'm the old lady beside you (60) and a total ARMY (BTS Fandom name). Junk Kook is the groups main vocalist. There are 3 rappers and 4 vocalists for 7 total. Each of them have recently released solo projects so check out RM, Suga (August D), Jin, JHope, Jimin and V. The group has 3 English songs Dynamite, Butter and Permission to Dance very poppy, upbeat fun songs released during Covid. Their Korean stuff ranges from hip hop to everything else. I would suggest Fire, Dionysus or Dope for a look at the group.

you know what's more surprising...your words do come true because not only this song has Usher's vibe, but Usher himself jumped into this song and released a remix with a video performance last friday...congrats 😆😆 you have another one to react

Start watching and listening to BTS from now on. You will never regret it. Whatever age of human kind will definitely like them. For me, no other group/boyband can stand up to their level.

BTS and its members are inspired by artists spanning from Nas and J Cole and Eminem to Michael and Madonna to jazz legends to Erikah Badu and Maxwell. You will not be able to define the BTS sound until you've heard about twenty songs :) Even then, they manage to shock you while still maintaining the vibe that makes them BTS.

They always surprise....keep at it you will be schooled on about every musical genre there is. They will change their look and sound giving you whiplash!!!! I'm a 73-year-old grandma who cut her teeth on the Beatles in the 60's. I love all forms of music, first watched BTS when they were babies. Been an Army ever since. They are poets of their time. They are all you can want and more. 7 who can have a career on their own, but are unselfish and humble as a group. Fans from every country and culture on the planet have come to love them on many levels. You have 10 years to catch up. Hang in there and welcome to the BTS rabbit hole......P.S. 5 will get you 10 you will come to love the DANCEY stuff!

To be honest, JK and BTS are overly influences by all music Jk has talked about his influences of Michael Jackson, Usher etc. BTS started out as a hip hop group but evolve into musical geniuses'. RM who is the groups leader use to have the members listen to all different types of music. It lead to them trying all different sounds, styles. One of my favorite things is watching videos of JK riffing at the microphone. Even though they were broke; The other cool thing that they did is; They spent several weeks in LA learning the Genesis of Hip Hop with some hip hop producers, like Coolio. They made their first record in a garage in LA. Anyway, they are really interesting.

I initially avoided BTS because I thought they were the usual fluffy pretty boys...it's embarrassing how wrong I was.

Thank you so much for giving Jungkook a watch. He is truly an incredible artist. Kpop is not a genre of music. It is an entire music industry based out of Seoul Korea. Under Kpop is hip hop, rock, r&b, and of course, what we would consider pop music. Yes, a lot of artists dance, but that comes as part of the training if they come up through a Kpop agency, and also because in Korea, the music industry is tied to the television industry, meaning artists perform live a lot more than western artists. Dance is good for ratings. If you are looking for harder Kpop, I have two recommendations. AgustD - Daechwita. AgustD is in the same group as Jungkook, but he has a completely different approach to music, being more hip hop inspired. He is one of the main producers in BTS and one of the best rappers in Asia. The Rose - Back to Me. The Rose is an indie rock band who is rapidly growing in popularity. Their vocals and musicality are incredible. Neither of these recs are dancy.

With their award tally creeping towards 900, with their official fandom at 40+ million (and it is thought unoffical is 90+ million), there is obviously something special about this group. And if you look at current (good) BTS reactors, they are from all over. They are pop, R&B, hip hop, rap, and yes, rock fans who ALL love BTS. BTS have always skirted around the edges of the Kpop scene. They never really fitted in there or in conventional Korean pop or hip hop, so they really were seen as an oddity ans as underdogs so were always underestimated. They are the epitome of the underdog story. I do give other male Korean idol groups a listen when they release new music (I don't listen to girl groups) and there are a few good tracks out there but none can seem to match BTS musicality and lyricism and, more importantly, the thoughts, feelings and sentiments behind the tracks. And NO ONE appreciates their fans like BTS. Good luck!💜

The funny thing is that if BTS were a regular boy band (they do have some songs / performances which are a bit like what you mention, because they're variety personified, but it's not their usual stuff) JK would be the four "characters" you mentioned at once 🤣

hello! It's cool that you took the time to take a look at Jungkook from BTS, even though you made clear the content you usually consume, but as you were curious and said you're going to take an in-depth look at K-pop, I recommend the video, A Guide to BTS Members: The Bangtan 7, which tells the story of BTS, the beginning of everything and where they are today in the world of musical entertainment, and this video talks about each member individually and their particularities. It's a long video, but it's worth it, thank you for the your reaction

Loved your reaction. Thanks for givin Kookie a listen. 😁 He’s a part of BTS. Their fans love real & authentic reactions! Like yours. It’s a kick to see people change their preconceived notions. lol I’m 60. Had the same notions. But Followed these guys for years. Theyre unlike anything you think they are. Keep goin! And Thanks again!

YOU HAVE GAINED ANOTHER SUBSCRIBER, WE ARMYS JUST LOVE TRUE HONEST AND SINCERE REACTIONS TO BTS

As others may tell you, BTS have over 300 tracks to their discography. With a hip-hop base in their roots, they have a lot of different blends of genres in their music. A 50+yo fan here who loves a lot of different music, including rock, but I happen to enjoy and appreciate BTS more than any other artists, in large part because of the depth of detail they put into everything they do and their hard work. I do enjoy the dance too soooo LOL. They do have some very pop songs, most of which were put out during the pandemic to help during a dark time, but some from before and after. I've been here for all the "boy bands" since the 70's and can say that none of them since then match what you'll get in BTS. No disrespect to boy bands or other groups who are out there, the depth and breadth for Jung Kook and BTS as a group or as solo artists are just unparalleled. Anyway, appreciate your honesty. If you check out more, awesome. If not, understand. If you don't like pop though, you might want to ask for some guidance to steer toward edgier or harder tracks. One of the other members (j-hope) has a solo track out called "MORE" which has rap and hip hop and rock elements. Maybe that would be a good one to try? Enjoy.

You can call him JK it's his nickname. Jungkook is from the group BTS they are a 7 member group from south korea and they also have 3 english songs and also they mix korean and english with their songs. Jungkook has an album called Golden and it's all in English. Bts has 3 rappers and 4 vocalists but they are versatile and so alot of genre's as well.

I don’t see him as anything else but a great artist and human being.

im a 31 years old ARMY aka BTS hardcore fan. im a doctor (need to mention that because BTS accompany my journey since 2013) and im surviving still, with them. Keep on reacting to BTS. You will fall in love with them.

Definitely in the same caliber of the few artists I admire, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Usher, etc.,

Hello, thank you for the honest reaction! I'm a 50 yr old metalhead. I hope you dive deeper into BTS (as a group and their solo work), they will surprise you. Since you like wordplay and lyrics, some of the songs have explanation videos by DKDKTV. That will show you a whole new level of their genius that we would miss without knowing Korean. Hope to catch the next one 💜💜😁

You should check out his live 5 song performance at Time Square...."Jung Kook Live at TSX, Times Square" on the BANGTANTV youtube channel. Oh, and I'm 68 and have been a fan of BTS since 2019.

Nice reaction, thank you for trying it out. Btw, this is not K-pop. This is just pop (really closer to Motown funk reminiscent of MJ) sung by a Korean man. Because he is Korean and comes from the k-pop industry, the US music industry wants to tag it as k-pop like they've done with his other songs, so he won't complete with western artist because frankly, he is bigger than a lot of them. Also, BTS as a whole, the boy group that Jung Kook belongs to also doesn't really do k-pop music although they are from the kpop industry. They are nothing like Backstreet or Nsync or the rest of kpop. What you were expecting from traditional kpop is probably what you would find from most other groups in that industry. Some ppl like it, some don't.

I know this is an oldish reaction but what you described as what you expected from BTS / K-pop isn’t far from wrong (7 cute young guys, great dancers, lots of formation work, makeup, coordinated outfits…sometimes ridiculous). But hopefully what you’ve seen from the individual work is their individuality and talent, and be blown away at how they’ve managed to negotiate 10 years of rap, ballads, edm, and bangers together. 62 yo baby army here, partial to The Cure, Bowie, Neil Young…and now BTS.

I watch BTS reactions when people are sincere in their reaction. Even when they don’t like the song, people can say that in a way that isn’t disrespectful and I have no problem with that. People can’t like everything. Even I, as a long time army, will hear one of their new songs that at first I’m not sure about but within a week, I am singing it to no end and love it. 😂 I’ve never been a person completely into a group as I am with BTS. These guys are genuine, humble, charitable, kind, creative, and socially aware - their songs (and the meanings) resonate with people of all ages. I look forward to seeing what else you react to.

Thank you for your lovely reaction. The set and concept of this music video was inspired by the movie Romeo and Juliet by Baz Luhrmann (he personally commented and loved the video). Jungkook is the main vocalist of the group BTS. He use to rap in earlier BTS songs. This is the title track of his solo debut album "Golden". The dance here is homage to MJ. He also did a short mini concert on time square and only gave fans 30 minutes notice where he sang five of his songs from his album. You'll love it for sure. It's amazing! Thousands showed up at times square.

Thank you for giving BTS a try. One of the things that is so amazing about BTS is that no matter what type of song you are looking for, they have one to fit your taste. They are so versatile and broad in their creation and as you delve into the lyrics, there are many deep songs with important messages. Each member is unique in their tastes and musical talents. While western listeners often want the lyrics in English, hearing them sing in Korean is superior. They are Korean and we want to hear them in their language. Ask how many ARMYs have started learning Korean lol!

71 year old BTS Army here. Jungkook is the main vocalist for BTS. His label announced this track as a subtle homage to Michael Jackson. Just so you know, none of JK's solo releases have anything to do with Kpop other than JK is S. Korean. All of JK's solo releases including his just released album "Golden" are all in English. There are no S. Korean songwriters, producers, recording studios or MV shooting directors or locations, etc. He is blowing past Kpop and jumping head first into the American pop market. He is using American Grammy Award winning songwriters, producers, recording in the U.S. and filming at mostly U.S. locations such as Universal Studios in Hollywood. This one, however, is an abandoned power plant in Budapest, Hungary. The director is a very famous Ukrainian director who has directed for Harry Styles and many others. His self professed dream of being a giant pop star is clearly beginning in a big way! BTW, there are now at least 3 live performances. iHeart Radio, Jimmy Fallon Show, The Today Show, and there is a KILLER Official Choreo Version. He recently performed 5 songs at the TSX stage in Times Square, NYC. Only the third artist to ever been invited to perform there. You should react to the "Usher Remix Performance video" of this song that just dropped. It is ICONIC and a dream come true for JK. JK's solo achievements are the biggest of the group. ALL of BTS members are in the military now for 18 months as of Dec.12. JK's solo album "Golden" is up to 2 billion streams since Nov. 2. Thank you for your reaction! 💜

The expectation is so spot on lol BTS does do this. Dancing in formations and do have the sporty one, edgy one etc

You can't possibly think that you know anything about Jungkook's "sound" by hearing just one song. After 100 songs you will still be amazed.

There is definitely metal heads on here that got into bts and the 7 members they have so much music it's absolutely insane. You gotta hear Jimin Serendipity and Set me Free pt 2.

I’m glad you’re checking out Jungkook. He’s worth your time.

MJ is the spirit animal of kpop.

Hi! I’m a rock and metal girl and I’m a HUGEEEEE fan of BTS! I love them, they are the absolute best 💜

I'm a month late. Going to see what else you've done. Kind of intrigued by your potential journey. I'm sure they said but he is the youngest of BTS. He's doing his own thing which is unlike anything each of the others have done this past year as they put out their first solo albums before going into military. They've been 10 years together and all are unique in personality and musical taste, which has provided for versatility in style and spanning several genres of music which I suspect we haven't seen the last of yet. This is probably the most pop of the boys. If you like Rock, you will probably enjoy JHope's new album Jack In the Box with his song MORE and his song ARSON. The album is darker than his usual vibrant self yet still only promotes positivity and peace in the world. I don't call them KPOP at all. If you get into them you will see why. I'm form the 80's American Boy Band junk and had a closed mind going into them, especially when my first exposure to them was Dynamite and Butter (their two unintentionally biggest songs and my least two favorite songs). My background is Punk and I don't like POP at all. These guys started as HipHop but tried adding vocals and choreo of the KPOP world at a time when that wasn't really a thing and as a result they were shunned by both the HIP HOP and KPOP worlds. So they said screw it, we'll do what our own thing, which they did and now the KPOP world tries to use their format all the time. The difference being, BTS has been part of the creative process from the start. I'm sure others have all said this, but as this is my intro to you, I just wanted to throw out my two cents too. Anyway, if you choose to head down a BTS journey. I hope you share it with us. I think you will continue to be surprised. They are always changing it up. So if you hear something you don't like, you might go ahead and try another. OH... another you might like is Run BTS... you can watch their Dance Practice for that or check out their live performance in Busan! Might be a vibe you'd like. 💜

Jungkook did this song with usher as well in a music video. People say that jungkook is basically influenced by MJ for sure. Bts Dynamite got praised by the Jackson family and they love bts. Jungkook is a guy he's from Bts the 7 member group.

ARMY can be wonderful and demanding and overwhelming but if you’re genuine you’ll have a fan base forever. I’m the old lady beside you who isn’t bothered. 💕🐾💕💜

Jungkook is the main vocalist of BTS ,now doing his solo ventures and he released his new album' golden'

Bts has a wide range of genres. It's great...there's pop, funk, jazz, rock, rap, hip hop, ballads, etc. I love all types of music so bts is great group for me. I get a little of everything. Even if you don't like everything, there's normally something you will end up liking

JK joined at 14 (15 Korean age).Jimin is a trained dancer. You just didn't see a video with his dancing. Think of K Pop as Korean popular music. There will be recommendations for Taylor Mari's documentary & it is well done, but there are others that provide a different perspective. Xceleste explains why BTS is not your typical boy band. Rice Squad provides an excellent timeline.

KPop is likely completely different than you expect. I know it was for me. Jungkook's album, Golden, is fantastic. BTS, the group he's in, crosses many different genres. Try BTS ON Kinetic Manifesto, very different

the age range in bts is 26-31 jungkook is the youngest he’s 26 and the oldest is jin, he’s 31

Funny you say Usher. He does a version with Usher. Michael Jackson didn't come to mind? JK is wonderful on his own as are his bandmates.♾️💜💜💜💜💜💜💜❤️💕

BTS captured my Alt Rock/Rock heart 11+ years ago. 💜

I am 54 and grew up on metal and rock, and BTS is my favorite group. JUNGKOOK is the main vocalist of BTS. It's a misconception that K-pop is for the ladies. BTS has 3 rappers, so I recommend checking out Agust D Heageum, Jhope More, and RM Wildflower

You gotta hear bts Fake Love the Rock version it's absolutely incredible 💜

Check out Anthony Ray's BTS reactions, he's a straight tatted up "manly man" kind of guy in his late 20s who is a big rap and rock/metal fan. And he loves BTS, like genuinely. Got hooked into them through their rap work first. He isn't afraid to give his honest opinions and is very perceptive.

You might be interested to learn that a significant number of the BTS fan base are and were metal heads and hip hop fans, almost exclusively. Even many of those who now react to a lot of BTS at K-pop will still tell you that metal is all they used to listen tovand many are diehard fans of BTS now as well.

Jungkook (JK if you prefer) is the main vocalist in the group BTS. (3 rappers & 4 vocalists aged 26-31). This is from JK's debut solo album called Golden. It would be nice to watch you react to the performance video remix of this song featuring Usher. As a 66-year-old male ARMY (BTS fan) I think it's important for you to note that around 35 to 40% of the BTS fan base is male, about 80% of the BTS fan base is 20-60 years old. Similar stats would apply to K-pop music as well. Please understand that K-pop is not a genre but is an acronym for Korean popular music which includes many genres from rap/hip hop, pop, rock, R & B, ballad, latin pop to EDM, etc.

9:34 Catching up on your reactions.... and, yes, 😂 I think you caught a snippet of Dynamite. This is very similar, if not exactly one aspect of the video. When you do end up reacting to it, watch the mv but also watch a live version. Get suggestions as to which live performance to watch. My suggestion would be Butter & Dynamite from the Permission to Dance (PTD) concert stage. The music tends to be funkier in the live version.

Needless to say, on a couple of occasions they worked with one of Michael Jackson's choreographers.

The 3 k-pop reactions that you've done so far (J-Hope, Jimin, and JungKook) are all part of the group, BTS. It's 4 vocalists and 3 rappers. Thank you for your reaction! I suggest watching On (the Kinetic Manifesto version) and the RUN BTS dance practice video.

Oh and I think once you’ve seen/heard a few BTS songs then you should check out their MMA 2019 award show performance - it’s long but it’s phenomenal and blew me away!!!

Army here. It's pronounced Jun gkook. Welcome to BTS . Just found you on line. Use subtitles for their songs and MV. There is no other group ever like these BTS guys. 💜💜💜

It's actually Chung-goo. But Jung cook or Jk works too. Or Cookie or Koo.

K-pop is not a musical genre - it is a music industry. Like Hollywood is not a genre (well.. hm.) but a film industry localized geographically. J-pop (Japan), K-pop (South Korea), C-pop (China), T-POP (Taiwan), Indi-Pop (India), P-pop (Philippines). 💜 Asian vocal groups are not called a bands because they don't usually have instruments on the stage like a Band would, so they are called idol groups. These idol groups can get huge there is Korean group NCT that has 23 members - and Japan there is J-pop girl idol group AKB48 that literally has more than 90 members. 💜 The song is a known homage for the late King of Pop. And the full choreo even more. 💜 Jungkook is solo artist here. This is from his first solo album. (There is youtube videos's of how to pronounce his name.

Congrats to JK/Usher for a great collab! They slayed it. They are phenomenal singers/dancers. Kudos to the backup dancers for an amazing performance. They knocked this out of this world. Loved your reaction. Stay safe.❤😊

There is an Usher remix to this. There is a performance video for it. This is Jungkook's solo project, but he is from the Global Supergroup BTS. It's fine if you don't like the "Dancy" stuff. If it's not for you that's fine. Jungkook is a very versatile artist, and he's written over 22 songs in their 10 years of being a group. All of the group members released their solo projects, which were all different, seeing as their are 3 rappers, and 4 vocalists, with all different interests. But I will say, that Jungkook is an amazing performer and dancer, so most of his performances have dance choreography. You might want to check out a BTS Tiny Desk concert. That might be good. no dancing, just singing, rapping, and vibing, with a live band. Stripped down versions of three of their songs. (turn on the subtitles) BTS NPR Tiny Desk Home concert - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gFYAXsa7pe8.html

Jungkook is the main vocalist from BTS!

I like honest reactions! If you like rock maybe you can watch the live performance of Dionysus. He's the god of wine, and BTS is simging about getting drunk on art. It's 🔥

By now I'm pretty sure you've been told that John cook is part of the Korean group BTS the biggest group in the world they are currently serving in the South Korean military. Starting in June 2022 they went on a group hiatus and concentrated on solo album projects before all of that entering the military! John cook is the youngest member of the group and the last member to release his solo album titled golden because he is known as the golden youngest one! When his album was released his album and solo songs reached very high levels on billboard Hot 100 in the United States even going #1 debuting at #1! He has been started to be called the new Prince of pop and the or the new King of Pop. The members are exploring their own interest in their solo albums 1 member called V stage name is doing what is basically a jazz album. You've also been told by now I know cause watching your videos K pop is a music industry of South Korea not a genre! The seven-member group BTS started out when they debuted as a hip hop group in 2013 by 2015 after they had released their fifth album, they had transitioned into a multi genre group! Their musical genres include rap hip hop jazz Blues R&B EDM rock'n'roll and of course pop music I did not mention Latin pop!

Kpop mixes genres and BTS even more so. A lot of BTS songs have rock as part of the mix but aren't straight up rock songs. It's hard to say which ones will hit with you in particular. I suggest More by J-hope who is another member of BTS.

Jungkook is the main singer for the group BTS which are phenomenal performers. They are such a hit across the Globe. Their performances are outstanding. Right now they are all in the military. The last two to go was Jimin and Jungkook. They both did a lot of solo work while on hiatus. This one of Jungkook's solo songs. The last one he did was a remix of this song with Usher. Ironic you said that at the beginning. They are outstanding performers and all around great guys. They spread messages of hope and happiness and are genuine when they say they love their fanbase which we are call ARMY

Hi! 49 y/o latina and straight edge punk fan here! I am the last person who you would expect to be a member of the BTS ARMY, but great art is great art, so here I am💜

Thanks for watching; glad you enjoyed this!! I’m a 45 year old ARMY that grew up with metal, rap, and r&b. These men are incredibly talented. Many of us came to find BTS with a lot of incorrect prejudices in place. While I only stan BTS, please know that there are many talented boy and girl musical group members that work insanely hard and should be given credit where it is due. I get where you are coming from. Like me, it sounds like you will maybe re-think some of these prejudices. Hope to see more! You’ve gotten lots of good recommendations. Fake Love and ON kinetic manifesto film I think are up your alley 💜

Jk And this song has transceded kpop

We are so proud of our Jungkookie!🔥🥰 Thx for reviewing with an open mind.

38v ARMY here.. Listen to DANGER and bts run.. I think you would like them. Shout out from FINLAND! You got your self a follower through this rabbit hole! 😜

I'd pronounced more like: Chungoo(g). The first "g" is between a k and g sound, and the last "g" is more of a stopped sound like in hotdog.

Gracias por tu reacción, jk es un integrante del grupo Bts , tengo 47 años y en mi vida he visto un grupo tan TALENTOSO y humilde como ellos💪💜💜

Another GenX Metalhead here chiming in to say that my husband and I are both ARMY for life. You might be interested to watch boracity magazine's video "BTS are rock stars" where she, another metal head, does a deetp dive into why so many rock and metal fans are also ARMY.

Thanks for giving it a try. Not offended because you were honest.

As you get into BTS you will find some of the things you thought you were expecting but they will also surprise you too about just how much they move away from that too. You will have to listen to quite a few of their songs to get a sense of what BTS sounds like. Enjoyed your reaction and hope you continue to delve into their stuff. Based on your commentary, do yourself a favour and do not watch Dynamite, butter or permission to dance early on - all lovely songs but will potential narrow your perception rather than give a true reflection of their diversity.

usher vibe - and then the usher remix drops soon after 😂

You can't put Jung Kook or any of BTS in the same sentence as some American boy band. Jung kook is part of the Biggest band on the Planet. All 7 members have their own solo work and all 7 member are now doing their 18months of military duty. They'll all be back June 2025 although Jin and will be back in June 2024 followed by J Hope in October 2024. Then the other 5 will be back in June 2025 for the grand union. It's going to be a blood bath to get tickets to their Stadium concert tours. Yes they sell out the biggest stadiums on the planet in less than an hour of tickets going on sale. Tickets are first offered to the fan base the General Public won't be able to get a ticket. I've seen them live at Wembley stadium with 60,000 other fans on their second night. This is only a very tiny taste of what they can do. They've been at it for over 10years now they debuted in 13 June 2013.

I think you would like Wildflower by RM. He is another member of BTS. He is one of the main writers of BTS and his lyricism is beyond compare.

48 year old metal head as well and love BTS. I don’t listen to any other kpop group. At least the ones I have heard don’t do it for me

I think u would like the iheart radio version.😊

There's a usher remix to this song!😮

The one with Usher is super awesome.

since youre a rock dj ill recommend bts songs that have rock vibes/influence :) fake love rocking vibe mix spring day brit rock mix j-hope more music video j- hope pandoras box lyrics bts - dionysus lyrics bts - 2019 mama N.O. performance bts - ma city lyrics theres 100% more but i cant think of any right now :)

Rock, metal fan... I suggest BTS Mic drop, Danger, Fire, Fake Love.

you can call him jk 😊 check his other song 3d feat. jack harlow got remix version by Justin Timberlake 😊 too and this standing next to you got remix by usher and got performance video together 😊

there are some korean bands that you might like-less pop more rock. Try' The Rose,' and another well established group FT Island (just for yourself google their Planet Bonds Tour)

Segun tus gustos puede que Jk no se convierta en tu artista favorito sin embargo es tan talentoso y tan versátil que quizas alguna de sus canciones te conquiste, ya que dices ser irlandés, frances y canadiense 😂, te sugiero el cover de let there be love que Jk hizo para BBC Radio, puedes escuchar Falling cover, empieza con eso y segun tu opinión vendré con mas recomendaciones.

This is just Jung Kook solo, performing with a dance crew. The other BTS members are not featured.

JK is KING

7:57. 0:59. 1:19

💜💯💜👏💜

Your expectations for what K-pop is…is kinda like American boy bands from 25-30 years ago. BTS is something entirely new, entirely talented-7 guys who are really genuine musicians. Jungkook is one guy outta BTS. Since you like rock, can you do me a favor and react to “Back to Me” by The Rose? They’re a K-band, but the song is all English and it rocks.

REACT 2 : the REMIX WITH JK FT/USHER ❤❤❤❤ !! it is AMAZING VERSION

Also try ATEEZ, they are more rock sounding especially their later stuff. Gorilla
