Nah us americans aren't surprised by the lyrics, we were just taken aback by the fact that it was released by jk, a kpop idol with a prominent image of being the maknae (but not in a bad way, I personally think it's funny and cute). Also i have no problem singing it during the day in front of the ppl lol, the lyrics are pretty tamed compared to western music .
Maybe ...but if he sang it in Korean, that's different. I can sing about sex in any language I'm giving lyrics to sing, but it's totally different when it's the secret "dirty" words you learned as a child in your native language. I can't see Jungkook actually singing that line about "fucking you right" in Korean. Not making love, not sliding bodies or whatever euphemism...FUCKING! 😀
I honestly thought it was pretty tame. I think it’s because people over here just say the wildest shit in songs that it doesn’t really surprise me anymore.
i was shocked only bc i never expected jk to release a sexual song but the lyrics still are very tame compared to what i normally listen to so seeing other people say this is “too explicit” is funny 😭
Americans have NO PROBLEM with singing this!! 😅These ladies are adorable and I love watching their reactions!! It's amazing to see our cultural differences, but also our similarities!! Would love to see their reaction to the dance video he did!
Their reactions are hilarious. I am amused when people are surprised that an adult man in todays world sings and use expletives. At some point holding hands aren't enough for human contact. Loving these girls , shock them even more and show them ' dance hall ' music videos to react to.
They're not shocked by it just in kpop idol standards people who cuss and sing inappropriately don't get that of a good image in the korean media. So they're just surprised that a person with such a big audience would do this.
@@pjm875 I think in this chase majority of the ideas are from the director and his crew since jk didn't have much involvement in the creation of the song. When they gave him the song I think there was already a set idea for the MV
They meant that the reactions of the foreigners were quite surprising. I as a foreigner was quite surprised with both the clean and explicit versions and both were crazy good. I also watched the reactions of others and noticed I was not the only one surprised by both versions
@@olayinkafayinto9323 op isn't disagreeing. They're just saying that people were shocked because it was an idol singing it, not because of how explicit it was. Especially since this is actually considered tame for latto
Confused about how they say over and over again that the rap lyrics are "too explicit" but JK literally sang about s3x using a swearing word and they didn't say so that much! People really have different perspectives on words 😮 I really dislike swearing words about this topic, but I'm happy he can express his sexuality how he pleases. It's also cool how there are two versions of the song: more people can enjoy it this way!
I think most poc are aware of why they said that. No matter how open-minded and progressive they seem there's still subconscious bias. They already assumed it would be way more sexual before she even started rapping
@@karlafrancis8471i'm not disagreeing with you bc there's definitely a subconsciously negative perspective towards rap and hiphop among Koreans, but I just want to correct you when you said poc... Koreans (all asians, in fact) are poc too. I'm sorry if I misunderstood your comment!
@@ksj638 I'm aware that they're also poc. My point was that people who have experienced micro-aggresions would be able to understand why they reacted that way. I probably could have worded it better.
@@ksj638Yes, but they’re not Black and this reaction was peak antiblackness whether intentional or not. Suddenly, “seven sheets” is too explicit but “fucking you seven days a week” isnt. Their whole attitude towards the video changed once Latto showed up and this is pretty much on par when K-pop groups like BTS collab with Black hip-hop/R&B artists, especially Black women.
@@laraconde I love the girls and they generally have a open view of other people/nationalities/countries/etc, but I *immediately* felt a little off after they kept commenting on Latto's innuendoes vs his VERY OBVIOUS STRAIGHTFORWARD words. And they LOVED his lyrics and thought they were so naughty and coy.
@@laraconde unfortunately Korea has a very infantilized view of women. They're supposed to be tiny, feminine, and perpetually between the ages of 18-20. ESPECIALLY in music/idols. Any female artist that even *slightly* tries to grow up or branch out is instantly bullied and shunned by their fans. 🙄 Also why I don't talk about kpop at all; the fans are so toxic about any little thing instead of actually enjoying the music. I just do me, and I will deff blast Latto's lines. Get it girl
definitely when they said i feel like it’s extra sexual cause of the rap and the rap was literally so tame, shit even compared to Yoongis music that rap was tame
"I get shy about the fact that Jk did this" EXACTLY, i listen to wayyyy more explicit lyrics from other artists but because it was SO unexpected coming from jungkook, i got so flustered
Its so interesting how they said his parts were sexual in too in your face. Had me wondering about the translation. Even Latto's parts were more inuendo than direct in my opinion. This is what its like for us international fans usually 😂. Anyway, this was fun. When the sheet came out I was cracking up. And "now I understand why Han So Hee is sick of him." The universal agreement that 7 days of sex is too much but saying 3 days doesnt sound as good, lmao.
Jungkook's part has lots of innuendos. If you translate them and explain them anyone can understand. Just looking at English lyrics most can miss them. I've seen so many people who understand English didn't get some innuendos in his part. Like "break me off" part is a sex term. Not many people got it. It's written by American writers and I'm sure they wanted it that way.
@@suzienightingill6561 Exactly. Like in almost every line throughout the whole song there are many sexual innuendos. And I'm not talking about the explicit version. It's weird when some fans say other version changed the meaning when it's always been there. (Like kissing the waist is very specific. That's the beginning of the song and that tells you exactly what it is. Like why waist? Because it's going south. Just picture that scene in the head and that it. I can't believe lot of people didn't get it.) I'm surprised majority of English speakers failed to pick up all the meanings. I've seen maybe like 2 people who got all of the hints. I've watched many reactions but they never picked up all them innuendos. It's written by American writers so they wrote it that way. It's just that one word made it more bold. But the song is already that way. Anyone can take it in a romantic way if they want of course. Since American writers wrote it I'm sure they knew what they were doing with it.
@@lakshi9276 Maybe it has to do with how innocent you are. I'm not a native speaker, I'm french canadian and I understood the song, both non explicit and explicit one ha ha
I've been listening to Kpop for ten years and even though I'm American, hearing cursing in Kpop is just so rare that it does illicit a bit of that "omg did they really just say that" and cover my mouth out of surprise sort of reaction. It also just depends on the person, I'm not sure I'd be singing the explicit version even while driving around town alone in my car.
same i'm a kpop fan since 2015. maybe only new kpop fans don't understand our surprise to hear the lyrics. and plus: nowadays swearing in kpop songs is not so uncommon.
He is singing *"LOVING"* in the MV. The explicit version isn't in the MV. In the music video he sings "loving you" so he is not saying "fµcking you" to her face. Someone should clarify to them that there are 2 different versions. "Fµcking you" is only in the explicit version.
ohhhh i think the korean translations showed them the literal meaning of the song lyrics. cause the English lyrics are very figurative and makes it sound less explicit compared to other songs out here lmaooo😂
Honestly neither jk or lattos lyrics were too sexual, this song over all isn’t too sexual. like yes there is sexual connotations, but it’s really not a “dirty” song. Ofc I understand different cultures and some countries are more conservative than others, but all in all, this song is not too sexual. I understand a lot were shocked to hear him sing about this, bc you don’t often hear that in kpop but he did a great job breaking out of that! I for one, would love to hear more songs like this from Jk and BTS.
I thought the ladies reacted to W.A.P. I'm surprised that anything shocking them after that, lol! It must be how sweet looking and sounding Jungkook is that's throwing them. I love watching the reactions of these women, they're a delight.
Really the only reason people were shocked by the explicit version was because it was jungkook singing it not necessarily because we found it “too much” the song is not too explicit at all lol
it's only surprising because the tannies do it so rarely (and in the last few years like 2019-2020 forward they have started to more openly and more often to curse which I'm all for) but they have always had potty mouths 😭😭 love them fr
I loved your reaction! It was adorable. I think the music video was made regarding the clean version's lyrics and not the explicit version. It made sense with the clean version as according to my interpretation, jungkook was trying to convey that he will love her endlessly no matter what happens (earthquake, flood and the heavy rains)
7:50 Cha Cha 😂 this video gave me a good overview of how growing up in an international community with contact only with my grandparents on the korean side gave me a personality that I could never adapt 100% in Korea
Cha Cha is the best on moment with cha cha slide 😅 I also have not heard of this song/dance, but it's just so cool when similar words suddenly pop up, you get to know more things)
Wow 😂 here in Africa we consume a lot of western music n our music too is explicit most of it from dancing to words as a BTS fan was happy that he had to go for it coz it has gone international it's first time I here their music on our radios here in Uganda.😂😂😂 Your reactions killed me I first posed my work to get the Korean reaction to this song
cha cha slide was too funny😂. it was shocking hearing the explicit version at first but once you get used to it its so normal now and it helps that seven is such a good song so it's really easy to listen to❤
This song was actually written 2 years ago by Jon Bellion, Cirkut, Thomas Thanes and Latto. Jon Bellion said the hook (Monday, Tues....) was "hitty", so he worked on the song in the studio. He said that he didn't write it with JungKook or anyone else in mind specifically. As Bellion didn't know that JK would record 1)a solo album and 2) in English. Bellion was blown away at the song's success. Because songwriters will tell you that they don't know what will become a hit or not. It all depends on the artist, production and timing of the music scene. So I don't know if JK would've written an explicit version himself. But he feels fine with it as he selected to record the song. And the man is 26 years old. So his songs will reflect that.
It's hilarious and so cute how red they were all getting watching this! LOL The rap was really quite tame by US standards and people would definitely sing along in public to it.🤣
I mean by American standards this is honestly tame and outside of the 'fucking you right' everything is innuendo. Plus I think this was JK's song to finally tell people that he's no longer that kid that grew up in bts, he's a grown ass man now!
Facts , people were screaming wap during pandeminc to the top of their lumgs and the other song by post Malone , their is nothing shocking about this song , but is the fact that he is Korean that shocks people
I didn’t want it to end! Omg this was so funny! I love how they didnt sensor their opinion and when they thought it was too much they said so. Please DONT look up what “cha cha slide” means 😂 That poor girl won’t recover 😂😂
Compared to other foreign artists' music, the explicit version is still subtle. We're just so shocked because Jungkook is the one singing it (he's a grown man ik but we're just not used to it)
The fact that i became a fan of bts because they have such appreciatable and fantastic lyrics and can capture people with their songs which never consists of "explicit" lyrics....this is what made me truly truly love them a lot...but this new change by jk if not completely, kinda a little, changed the way how i admired or saw him before, its not that i don't love him the same, but i just feel vert different now....i don't know if anyone can relate to me... Don't mistake me. Yes i do listen to TONS of explicit songs, but I'm not a "fan" of that artist. Something that i really loved is that they don't sing sexual lyrics even tho they sing love songs and they themselves are such good human beings made me admire them a lot and made them have a part of my soul! But after this new change and singing an all english song with this sexual lyrics or whatever by jk made me feel very different....idk why but i felt like something that i deeply felt for them deep inside me really changed....and im still trying to adjust to this new change.... Its not that he can't sing such lyrics or whatever, yes he can, but the artist whom i admired for NOT making music in a sexual way in this generation and leading the music industry was what made me fall in love with bts as a whole, but after his release of this song, literally changed some deeeppp feelings that i always had for them (i mean him) I hope there is someone who felt or feels the same.... I know I'm supposed to love whatever my favourite artist makes, but this song is nor something i can proudly say that i like which the person i love has made......he could have chosen a different way to show his maturity is what sometimes i feel, no matter what others say, this is what he intended isn't it? Lol I still love him the same, don't attack me...its just that no matter how much i love and admire him and bts, i can never be proud of this song of him....haa
카디비 WAP 한번 들으면 난리들 나시겠네.. 웃긴게 여기 미국애들 댓글도 가사가 그렇게 크게 야한지 잘 모르겠다는 반응이 대부분인게 더충격적임 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 근데 한편으론 미국에선 WAP처럼 쎈 가사노래만 주구장창 듣다가 정국노래 들으면 그냥 순한맛 내지는 밍밍한 맛으로 느껴질수있다고봄 아니면 우리가 순수한게 아니라 미국인들이 그런 너무 저급할정도로 성적인표현 난무하는 노골적인 가사에 너무 익숙해진게 아닌가싶기도하고
For me the first time i heard him sing the explicit version and the "f*cking you right" part came up there was only about a 5 - 10 second mental pause of he just said that...😀 after that it was just straight vibing singing along right with it. Explicit version is all i can hear and sing now. 🥰😆😂
I guess they didn't know about the other version 😅 I think sex is not talked about so openly in Korea and that's why they have this reaction. For some it's still hard to see JK is grown man and that he's been one for awhile 😁. It's just one part of him that's all. Now ... I just heard the k-pop song Cream Soda 🥤 😘 so JK is not out here alone 😉
after Sugas haegeum MV where he talks about allowing or breaking bans on things like smoking and sexual talk in kpop and right after that, JK release this song breaking the wall down completely. i mean if anyone can do it it´s BTS, they are use to breaking the walls and this song is trending all over the world. so i guess we will se more changes in kpop going forward. just like how every group seems to copy what BTS does when it comes to performance and content just everything. also the selfwritten bands.
