Korean Dancers React to Michael Jackson, The Emperor of Pop Music 

Let's just say, if anyone hears just one beat from Michael Jackson's songs, your body will immediate move to the groove. He's the pinnacle of Pop and a legend of dance moves.

춤이나 퍼포먼스만 보고 최고라고 하지만 가창력과 음악을 만드는 능력과 열정 그리고 그의 인류애와 인성을 알게되면 팝의 황제라는 타이틀이 그의 일면일 뿐이라는 것을 알게될 것입니다. 정말 그의 모든 것이 훌륭하며 존경받아야만 하는 아티스트입니다.

MJ was an icon. And the really mind blowing part is not only was he an incredible talent in dancing, singing, and performing, but he did it all with absolute detail and perfection AT THE SAME TIME. Those incredible dance moves with complete precision while he was singing. I grew up with his music, but I think the most telling performance I ever saw was on stage with Britney Spears. It literally looked like a child trying to dance beside a master. And he was so professional and even kind in how he dealt with it.

마이클잭슨이 춤으로 유명하지만 노래도 졸라 잘함 음색도 미쳤고 노래 부르면서 저 춤들을 추는거임...걍 레전드 그 자체

Michael Jackson will never be duplicated. He was a pioneer in choreography, passion, and visual performance. I will never forget the day "Billie Jean" came out. Always loved him as a performer with the Jackson Five, but when he broke out on his own, the world fell in love. The closest person I can think of in dance is Taemin. He moves his feet like Michael, and I know Michael would have loved the passion from Taemin. Thank you for showing Michael and the reactions! There are so many more to show of his music videos. Also, Janet Jackson was a pioneer along with Michael, her brother. Please cover her as well!

KPop today in general very much owes a lot to MJ. The lean physiques, the dances both solo and group, the manner of makeup for males and the showmanship of outfits were not in the mainstream until MJ introduced it to the world.

보컬, 댄스, 작사, 작곡, 무대퍼포먼스 모두 만렙을 찍은 분....

댄서들이 충격 받아야 하는게 아니라 .. 모셔야지.. 현대 대중음악 춤에 관한 모든걸 정립한 인물인데...

저게 몇십년전 영상인데도 전혀 촌스럽거나 지루하지 않다. 마잭은 그냥 천상계다ㅎ 영원한 팝의 황제이자 레전드 오브 레전드.

실제로 마이클 잭슨은 이미 한국나이로 6살 7살 정도 됐을때 각종 보컬 콘테스트에 나가서 상을 휩쓸었음 노래 춤 무대연출 작곡 까지 모든분야에 뛰어난 사람이었음

I think Michael would be very proud of the whole K-Pop scene. Seeing how he influenced so many artists in so many ways would’ve made him very happy. So sad that he is not with us to see it 😢

The level of perfection he inspired in everyone involved in his projects, is unreal. From what I've heard from people who worked with him, he didn't demand it, he just knew it was possible and expected it, and every single person worked their buts off to achieve it. He showcased new styles, went out and found people who were essentially street preformers, and let them and their talents shine. I never had the honor of working with him, and it's mostly stuff I heard from my moms friends who did, but they said it after he died, so grain of salt. But from what they told me, he was never afraid to be upstaged, found the humor in himself when he messed up, and was always excited to be shown something new, especially in dance.

마이클잭슨은 예전에도 레전드였고 죽은 지금도 레전드이고 앞으로도 계속 음악이 지속되는 한은 레전드일 것이다.

그의 오랜 팬인데 영상보는데 눈물나네ㅜㅜ 마이클 잭슨은 지구 역사상 가장 위대한 대중 음악 위인

Fun Fact: Michael Jackson DID NOT CREATE the Moonwalk. It was the lead dancer of Soul Train who first performed that move when MJ was young and he loved it so much he went to the guy himself to learn it in secret. Nobody knew until years later.

심지어 발라드도 너무 잘해... 못하는게 없던 가수..

한국 라이브때 올라가는 난간에 매달린 광팬이 떨어질까 조마조마하면서 부여잡고 끝까지 노래하던 모습이 선한... 좋은 곳에서 행복하길...

무슨 말이 필요할까요 전무후무한 최고의 아티스트 입니다

인류가 음악을 만들고 나서 현재까지 넘어설 수 없는 최고의 뮤지션, 가창력 춤실력 무대장악력 아티스트가 가져야 할 정석.

It's the fact MJ makes such intricate and difficult moves look so fluid and easy that literally blows my mind. I truely don't think we'll ever see another MJ or at least not in my lifetime.

MJ was the greatest. I loved him since I was a kid. My mom didn't get it until she saw him live, and then she was screaming as loud as everyone else in the audience. Even if you were a skeptic, seeing it in front of you was transformational. The guy was really a magical performer. He set the bar so high I haven't seen anyone else come close. So much of the pop culture today in music was influenced by him. He also understood audience on a level I haven't seen again. He knew how to anticipate what the audience wanted and would play with those expectations. Seeing him was something I'll never forget.

His influence is all over K-pop from dance, to fashion to vocal stylings.

인간이 남아있는한 역대최고의 가수

I honestly don’t think people understand the degree of Michael Jackson’s influence. He is literally a daily part of our lives, whether you like it or not. Everyday I literally hear Michael’s name being mentioned in some form and I see something related to him often as well. It’s truly unfortunate that an icon, but humble and loving human had to leave us. ❤

괜히 황제라는 칭호가 붙는게 아니죠 ㅎㅎ 다시는 나오지 않을 뮤지션입니다. 그립네요 마이클잭슨 ㅠ ㅠ

마이클잭슨은 댄스가수가 아니라 하나의 문화다.

everytime I see idols including michael's moves and showing respect towards his figure... it just warms my heart. after seeing so many people disrespect his name through the years, I just feel relieved most of us look up to him ^^ kpop since the beginning has been inspired by a lot of genres, but mj's definitely one of its biggest referents. - sorry for my english. 🙇🏻

dangerous 앨범이 나온지 30년인데...사운드 퀄리티가 지금 들어도 넘사벽~ 진짜 음악적인 모든 부분에서 완벽주의자!

Forever the King of Pop 👑 🔥

두번 다시는 나오지 않을 최고의 가수

Many artist not just one people! He inspired all over the world no just basic artist. Them and everyone Mj is legendary!

스티비 원더는 마이클은 세계에서 노래를 가장 잘 부르는데 사람들은 왜 춤 얘기만 하는지 눈뜨면 가장 보고싶은게 마이클의 춤이라고 할 정도였죠.. 노래도 춤도 우주클라스..

젊은 분들이라 그의 명성보다는 순수하게 실력에 감탄하는 걸텐데... 그 시절 따라했던 아저씨는 비트만 나와도 눈물이난다.

마잭이 진짜 ㄱ ㅐ사기인게 춤도 춤이지만 사실 노래도 천상계 수준임 ....어릴때 꼬맹이 때부터 노래 부르는거 들어보면 그냥 천재 아티스트임 그리고 저렇게 빠른동작을 하면서 노래를 편하게 부른다는 자체가 말도안됨

마이클잭슨은 평가의 대상이 아니란다. 그냥 신이다.

최고의 천재 뮤지션 마이클잭슨 ❤

마이클잭슨이 대단한건, 잔비트를 저렇게 정확히 타고, 동작은 큰데 저렇게 제어해내는 힘, 기가막힌 아이솔레이션(각 신체 부위별로 동작이 고립되어있는...?)이 기가막히네요. 세계 최고의 댄서들일텐데 잘 보시면 저 백업 댄서들 마저 M.J로 인해 보이지도 않아요.... 마이클형 형은 노래에서도 춤에서도 팝의 혁명이었어요....ㅠ

마이클잭슨 춤은 따라해도 느낌을 따라 할수가 없음

Let’s just say, whenever I hear the name “Jason Derulo”, my entire essence will immediately say “JASON DERILLO~”. He’s the pinnacle of comedy for some reason to me.

마이클젝스 볼수없어 아쉽고. 보고십습니다 멋진 최고의 예술인 입니다

Being the age I am, I grew up in MJ’s heyday, stupid pun intended, and was completely obsessed with his music and performances, and it’s so interesting to watch every new generation catch on to just how talented he was, and realize the cultural impact he’s had all around the world that most people don’t even realize how deep an impact he had, but it always seems like dancers, no matter what style they study, get it much more than others, I love that, and they were right about MJ’s moves being everywhere in kpop, like one of them mentioned a few examples, but even subtle moves inspired by him are in almost every kpop choreography, cuz like they said he basically invented a new style of dance by combining several other styles in a way that hadn’t been done before, and it’s awesome to see the love and impact of his talent still inspire people around the world

Jason Derulo made a song called "Let's Shut Up and Dance" that featured SM's Lay and NCT 127, and the entire song pays homage to Michael Jackson by celebrating music and dance across the boundaries of culture and language. It's amazing to see the impact that Michael Jackson has on musicians and artists, regardless of who they are or where they come from!

데인저러스 투어 서울 직관한 1인입니다 왜 그가 king of pop인지 음악 뿐만 아니라 무대에서 그가 관중을 압도하는 퍼포먼스 및 연출력은 직접 보지 않고서는 절대 느낄수 없죠 공연 다녀오고 며칠간 잠을 못잤던 기억이 있네요 그가 허망하게 우리곁을 떠났을때 정말 믿기 싫었던 인생 최고의 아티스트

Michael Jackson is just simply a hundred years ahead of us. There’ll be no one else like him.

춤만 가지고도 이런 리액션과 감탄인데 싱어로서, 송라이터로서, 퍼포머로서, 프로듀서로서, 인권운동가로서, 엔터테이너로서 마이클은 그냥 정점이자 전설 그 자체. 영상 말씀대로 멋의 기준.

The world will be in 2050, 2080 and they will still have the same reaction when they discover him and watch his performances. His legacy and influence will live forever.

3,40년전에 대유행했던 곡과 댄스지만 2020년대 현대의 젊은세대가 가슴 두근거리며 보는데 그 당시 사람들이 느꼈던 희열과 감동은 어땠을까 몇십년 앞서간 유행의 등장 충격과 황홀함이었을듯

That's because this man was literally music in human flesh xD He felt the music at this very core and reacted to it naturally. It's amazing to witness naturally talented people! They're certainly amazing to watch and see firsthand

가수로서뿐만 아니라 인간적으로도 완벽에 가까운 분인거 같아요.

제가 유치원 다닐때인가? 마이클 잭슨이 한국에서 공연을 했었는데 아무것도 모르는 저를 삼촌이 공연장을 대리고 갔었죠. 처음에는 한국 가수들 나올때는 졸기만 하고 삼촌에게 계속 집에 가자고 했었다가 마이클 잭슨 나오고 춤추는걸 보고는 입벌리고 눈만 껌뻑이면서 공연끝날때까지 본 기억이 아직도 잊혀지지 않네요. 태어나서 처음으로 가수의 공연을 직접 두 눈으로 본게 마이클 잭슨!!!! 어린 나이에 너무 큰 충격으로 각인되어 가수하면 마이클 잭슨밖에 생각 안나고 그냥 우상이 되었네요. 마이클 잭슨이 누군지 어떤 사람인지 그가 어떤 가수인지 얼마나 대단한 가수인지 너무나 잘 아는 나이가 되었을때 영국에서 시작해서 마지막 월드 투어를 한다고 했을때 한국 티켓 예매할 준비를 하고 있었는데 볼 수 없다는게 너무 아쉽네요.

Michael Jackson really did set the standard for stage performance with that kind of intense choreography.

마이클 잭신을 본 사람들이 한 말 중 가장 기억에 남는게 신계에서 인간들에게 춤이란게 뭔지 알려주기 위해 내려온 사람 같았다고 하는게 엄청 인상적이었음

2021년 현재에도 춤 잘춘다는 사람들도 마이클 잭슨의 아성을 따라올수 있는 댄서는 없다는게 팩트입니다... 마이클잭슨 팝의 황제!

Let's just say anyone that become dancer/singer after him have tried to imitate him.. He got swag ❤️

어릴때 스릴러 뮤비보고 무서워했었던 기억이있는데 지금보니 감회가 새롭다.. 정말 레전드입니다

Love that you put English subtitles. Thank you love the video MJ was a icon. Loved him and his music RIP

과거로 돌아갈수있다면 마이클잭슨 무대를 보는게 꿈이다

Kpop is literally a spin off, extended and "modernised" version of Michael Jackson's whole existence. The music, the dance, the music videos or as Mike would call them, short movies, the fashion... Mike is THE originator. THE standard.

It's 2021 and I miss him so so much. He was a genius, the most incredible performer the world had ever seen. There will never be anyone like him and I wish he was still alive today gosh I would have loved to go to his concert and see him live

진짜 ㅈㄴ 멋있다.

Michael Jackson is your idols idol 😍

마이클잭슨은 춤 뿐 아니라 세계적 보컬평가 사이트에서도 레전드급 보컬로 인정 받습니다

True Legend! One and Only MJ... Even today, his legacy continues to have a profound impact on the music industry around the world.

인류 역사상 가장 위대한 아티스트. 뮤지션. 가수

Came here to watch their reactions and ended up watching MJ instead😭 RIP King of Pop

잭슨형님은 아무것도 안하고 2분동안 서있어도 콘서트 보던 여자들 기절해버림

Your reactions are priceless. Billy Jean was where he introduced the moonwalk. The crowds went wild and everyone in the US talked about it afterwords! Not just the young loved him but also the old! He was a true American hero. You should do Sam Kim one of the best voices ever. Maybe try Goblin Soundtrack!

고인이 되서 너무 안타깝다~😭 우리들의 영원한 팝의 황제~👍👍👍

What a legend! Created his own brand of music/dance/performance! Ah, what I wouldn't give to have a Taemin / MJ collab. ;-;

내 최애곡 beat it..이 곡이 없어서 아쉽네요..마이클잭슨..진짜 그리운 스타예요..

다들 춤과 노래만 보는데, 저런 곡과 비트를 만든 뮤지션이라는게 진정한 대박인거죠.

MJ is from an OG boy band and an OG Idol!

King of pop 👑

King of pop for a Reason 🔥🐐

직관했었어요.학생때라 돈없어서 젤 끝에서 봤어도 정말 넘 좋았어요.이제 그의 공연을 볼 수 없다는게 너무 슬퍼요 ㅠㅠ

He will forever be a legend 💜 Nice video

THE GREATEST TO EVER DO IT!!!!! Rest In Peace GOAT!! ❤️‍🔥 My mom saw him in Munich 1997. That’s also the first, 2nd,3rd and 4th video of Michael you’ve showed them. Was the same show my mom went to in Munich. To this day,she’s saying she never felt an energy and aura like Michaels.

야 케이팝 요즘 잘하는거 맞지만...마이클잭슨은 비교의 대상이 아니야.. 존경의 대상이지

I think it would have been intersting to have them react to some of the videos from his earlier days. The Jackson 5 and early solo career. There are all videos from when he was older. Still great but his moves when he was younger are even more perfect.

MJ is and always be King of Pop, there are alot of great groups and artist out there like bts who always talked about the king of pop mj but none of them can match MJ. And when i hear they say they favs are the king of pop i just cant agree to that (you know who you are) i guess different generations we was born in but MJ gave pop culture what it is today. Everyone looked up to MJ as an artist and a perfectionist at his craft. RIP MJ

마이클 잭슨이 괜히 레전드가 아니지~

Indeed a legend💕 Great vídeo

He was called the king of pop for a reason. Long love the legend❤️

The goat of music industry 👑♥️

Michael Jackson was had concert History Tour in Seoul , Korea 1996 and 1999 during concert MJ & Friends

그가 활동하던 동시대의 가수들의 퍼포먼스와 비교 해보면 다름을 넘어 틀리다는 괴리까지 오죠 끝이죠 팝 그자체

마잭은 단순히 댄서들한테만 존경받은 게 아니라 발레리나, 현대무용수 등 몸을 쓰는 사람들한테 모두 대단하다고 인정받은 사람임

What’s so amazing is that he popularised and invented so many dance styles that are still used today

MJ is the Idol of the Idols. From Chris brown, Bruno, derulo, usher, timberlake and many more.

레전드와 가수의 차이ㄷㄷ 압도적이다

마잭은 춤도 춤이지만 노래 실력도 대박임. 댄스도 신계지만 가창력도 신이지. 개빡신춤 추면서 라이브 대박임

The the beauty for every mj's hits song there made for stage performance not just sounding good radio !

잭슨형님 영상볼때 마다 혼자 추는데 무대가 꽉찬느낌이 나는건 무얼까? ...ㅎㄷㄷ

I still listen to his music. He is timeless. I wish he was still here. I can imagine him being friends or close to some of the Kpop groups. He was always friendly and caring…. Can you do Britney Spears next?..

"He is there, alone on the stage, and it's complete" PERFECT RESPONSE!

마이클잭슨은 걍최고야 그누구도 따라할수없는 선과리듬감이있어

MJ is and always be King of Pop, there are alot of great groups and artist out there but none of them can match MJ. And when i hear they say they favs are the king of pop i just cant agree to that (you know who you are) i guess different generations we was born in but MJ gave pop culture what it is today.

완벽, 어느 하나라도 내칠것 없던 정말 아름다운 보석이였지.

진짜 보고싶은 사람

마잭 퍼포먼스의 진짜 무서운 점은 아무리 똑같은걸 봐도 질리지가 않는다는거임 미쳤음
