Metal Vocalist - BTS - DNA ( REACTION ) 

The part of the choreo that you keep saying is "so interesting," where they all link hands, is actually a double-helix structure, like a DNA molecule. 💜💜💜

I love this song!! I started listening to bts last year, DNA was ine of the reason why i started listening to their song because it's so catchy. I love their choreography too!! It's amazing

Jin had surgery on a finger injury. He was advised to limit his participation with their choreography bc their choreography is so intense, that he might not heal well. It was a finger ligament injury & he was post-surgery.

No matter who you insert into this studio, this song is literally equally perfect for everybody.

Love your reactions and how you consider all aspects of the song. The thing I love most about the dance rehearsals is how you hear their feet hit the floor at exactly the same time.

Love Love Love your reactions. These dance moves make me soooo happy! Breathless watching them perform.

Heheheh in fact, jk has some rap parts in some songs ( specially in early songs)he's so good too 💜

This is such as catchy song💜💜💜

RM has said "all seven of us are different, you know. We’re really incredibly different. I think I maybe said this in the past, but this is how I describe it: it’s like we’re all sailing in the same boat but looking at different places. We have different dispositions, we’re good and bad at different things, and the things we want to do are different too. But because we’re in this team, we see better sides of each other and we’re achieving things together under the name of BTS that we couldn’t do otherwise.”

Jin had surgery on his fingures before they went to Grammys and Las Vegas .. he was not suppose to do too much dancing so he had to sit in a chair .. DNA possibly one of my favourite BTS songs .. I love watching the whole experience with you 👍👍👍💜💜💜💜🥰🥰🥰🥰 by the way Jin didn't stay in the chair as he was suppose to .. he got up and participated in most of the songs👍👍👍

V & Jin has a song...it's definitely you...a drama ost u should react... their vocals were amazing!! A high & low combination

I love how they constantly praise & support each other while they react to their video.

It's really interesting how when they release a single, they perform it dozens of times, with perfect choreography and different outfits that fit the song concept... It's intense and hype. But, when they perform those same songs, years later, as part of a different era, they often add them to medleys or perform them in a much more lose way, while walking around the stage, to interact (have fun) with the crowd or joke between themselves or to "rest" (in between the current singles that they will do more "professionally"). It's interesting how you can perform the same song with different intent and make different types of performances engaging.

Yeah, Jimin’s shirt was see-through 😳 He KILLED us…😂 Jin fractured a finger, and required surgery - so he had a splint on to protect the fracture and surgery, and was advised not to do any choreo in case it re-injured his hand. He did get up and dance a little, but he sat out the formal choreo (even at the Grammy’s, you will see him mostly seated during the performance, except the last part). I think this was for a good six weeks. 💜💜

yes jimin shirt was see through during the live performance lol...jin hurt his hand so he couldnt perform with them..he had a cast on his right hand. the doctor and the company said jin couldnt dance because he hurt his hand so he had to sit in the chair but there were parts he could perform in the concert and the guys always went to jin and was being silly with him on stage.

This is the song they performed in their US television debut at the AMAs. The network cut out the fanchants, but there are vids where they are restored. Electrifying and amazing performance

DNA whistle is so iconic, the second I hear it is just instant excitement. The harmonies in this song are so incredible. And the choreo is very interactive. Multiple times the members high five or link hands to make make a connection. It’s so satisfying to watch. Also I wouldn’t say they never use greens screen, but they don’t use it much. Like Fake Love is all real but most people believed it wasn’t because it seemed too intense to be real. Also Jin wasn’t allowed to do the choreo during Las Vegas PTD shows because he had a hand injury. They didn’t want him to strain it and make it worse. However, Jin being Jin still snuck into the choreography sometimes when no one was looking. You would just see a figure in the back of the cameras doing the Intense choreography in tiny small movements. It was fun to watch in person! Thankfully he’s better now! Fun Fact: They performed Blue & Grey after this 😭

Sir John, I got to see their concert on their last night at Las Vegas. Even sitting at the 200 level, you can feel their energy from the stage reach all the way to the nosebleeds section. The Army bombs lightsticks were endless waves in the purple ocean throughout the night. Let's just say you'd find yourself more on your feet than in your seat❣️💜🕺🏽🤘 Enjoying your reactions so much. Thank you for loving our Bulletproof Boyscouts❣️

Honestly, you're such a great reactor. I love how much attention you pay to the whole package of a single song such as the lyrics, MV, dance practices, and live performances. Some ARMYs say the lyrics is based on Carl Jung's Synchronicity theory because their album Map of the Soul is based on the Jungian concept. I do understand where they were getting at. But in the end, I think this is simply a sincere love song to us ARMYs.

When I see the beginning of the mv I have to catch myself because I think it’s Boy With Love because of the colours. Then I hear that iconic whistle from Jungkook and away we go. This has such a tight choreo. They did well to do the double helix part without Jin. He injured his hand so had to have an op on the ligaments. His swan neck fingers make getting such injuries a hazard of his normal life. He taped over the cast with different colours and patterns. I loved Yoongi and V shouting out, “J-Hope!” It’s fun watching them react to themselves. They take no prisoners and send each other up mercilessly but also give out supportive comments. True brotherly love. I can’t believe you haven’t watched, ‘Dope’, yet. You can’t watch House of Army until you’ve seen that. In fact get Megan to check you’ve watched all the necessary mvs mentioned in that so you can enjoy it to the full before you watch it. Great reaction as always, thanks, John.

I really love the full experience idea it makes you see every thing about each song it's cool keep going 💜

For the Busan concert, we might get clues to the set list closer to the concert, as BTS will sometimes release snippets of their soundcheck/rehearsals in the lead up. It’s hard to know what songs they’ll do compared to what songs we HOPE they’ll do (I’m looking at you Run BTS). I think it might be a good idea for you to schedule a reaction to Ma City. Both Jimin & Jung Kook are from Busan, and Busan is mentioned in the lyrics so I think there’s a good chance they’ll perform it. Of course, it’s pure speculation on my part but I think it’s a great song you would most likely enjoy anyway so it’s worth a listen.

Thank you John for another awesome reaction. Your reactions are always so fun to watch. And thanks Meg for all the different videos (I especially loved BTS’ reaction to DNA) but the highlight was that particular live version. Even though Jin is not dancing it’s my all time favourite live of this song. To all the ARMY who got to see it live, I’m extremely jealous! 💜

The live version Jin was injured and in what I think of as the “timeout chair” whenever someone has an injury they get out yo the dude of stage to be there but out of the way a bit. It’s always horribly frustrating to whichever one it happens to but they try to involve them more. Jin had hand surgery and any thing hitting it would have caused him to need surgery again so he had the big hand brace covered with an outfit matching wrap. He gave up sitting and just kept dancing anyhow. And yes they had some see through shirts it was quite ….. memorable to Army we barely survived.

This is the era where BTS looked like anime characters

They DO use green screen and CGI but as a rule of thumb, if it can actually be built/done that's probably what they did. I think the fact that Bang PD majored in aesthetics accounts for a lot of the artistic choices in their mvs. If you haven't seen the behind the scene Bangtan Bomb of Fake Love, you should. It's quite fascinating. Also, this was definitely from their Las Vegas concerts shortly after the Grammys because Jin wasn't injured yet in LA. His injury also meant they had to change the Grammy performance but it actually made for an even cooler show imo. Jin however was quite devastated and said he felt like a burden to the team, his statement promptly earning him both a verbal and a very litteral kick in the butt from V! 😂

The way they scream Jhope for everything lol, i love how they fanboy over each other when they watch their content. They are just like us lol.

you reacting with such delight to the dance rehearsal makes me so happy. can you believe there was a time you thought you could give or take it?

Yes jimin and JK wearing the see through mesh outfit in their live performance in LA, And why jin is sitting because that time jin has hand injury

I absolutely love DOPE...can't wait to hear your reaction!!!

Hello! I really like to see your reactions, I would like for you to react to DNA (Pedal version) it has incredible heavy metal touches. A big hug from Ecuador. 💜💜💜

Thanks for the video! I love how you do the songs from every angle! Unfortunately, the live performance you watched was when Jin was sitting out due to hand surgery, and they just kind of played around with the choreo instead of doing it full out. You might want to check out DNA on AMAs or I'd recommend it on M Countdown or Music Bank. You'll see the performance with the full choreo. Thanks again!!

This was the MV I checked out after I was initially drawn-in by Boy With Luv, because at the time it had the highest view count lol. V's voice tripped me out and I was totally down on the first day. If it wasn't for Whang (metalhead youtuber friend) I wouldn't have found them, so major props to him lol

Thanks for this reaction John. I love this song and fun fact this is the first song they performed on American tv during the 2017 AMA’s. Don’t know if you noticed but that whistle part of the song is at the beginning of each Rise of Bangtan episode. And Jin injuries his finger and had to get surgery for it, so it was wrapped up and he danced as much as he could but for most of the songs that had choreography he sat to the side

In one of their interviews, they were asked who did the "whistle" they said it was JK.

I think ARMY forgot to tell you about the rock version of DNA when you prepared for this. The crunch guitars has a similar vibe to your intro. There are a few videos of this version floating around RU-vid. BTS's BangtanTV has it, look for "Pedal 2 LA", which might be the best one to react to, it's only a static screen. There's also a live stage of the rock version on SBS World TV channel, but I'm not sure if they might block you.

They always look so good but they look even better in this video. They are stunning! One of my favorite performances and dances. Behind the scenes and their reactions are always fun. Thank you John!

Save me was not one take.. Was one shoot... Several takes, rehearsal, startegst the location, they were there all day... In the rehearsal there was a bit of rain, windy, cold... There the dark, cloudy sky. They shot the entire video several times... As always, until it came out as they liked it.

Fun fact: BTS hardly ever uses green screen. Even the explosion scenes in their MVs aren't CGI or green screen, they're all real explosions. :)

I really love these full experiences that you are doing every song. It's so enjoyable to watch 😊💜 But yeah I'm kinda sad that in the live performance, Jin wasn't there 🥺 He had a finger surgery that time coz he got injured so he wasn't allowed to dance those more hyped choreo. I actually thought you were going to watch their DNA performance in the American Music Awards. It was their US debut performance and first ever performance in a US award show. Just check it out on your own free time 😊 And while I think of it, if you're very interested with Jin and V's vocal contrast, pls check out EVEN IF I DIE IT'S YOU. it's the OST of Hwarang, V's first ever drama where he was one of the casts. Then he sang the OST with Jin. This is fire 🔥 Thanks again so much for this video, John!! 🥰

he had hand surgery and wasn't really allowed to dance 😕

Hi, i am back. Good reaction, ty. Yes, JK did the whistle for it. They mentioned it somewhere interview or behind the scenes i can't remember were. Sorry. This one is more pop compared to their previous songs i think. This song got them noticed in USA. They got invited to interviews here and they performed this one here as well. Hope u watch all the live stages. DNA is a bop for sure. Thanks for checking out the dance practice. They are fab!!! By the way their DNA chain dance move was used by another dance crew in World of Dance. When I saw this MV i was blown away. 0.0 i was like wait wait i know that move, lol. Love DNA! Umm, it might not be deep to u but their love for Army is dang deep to army. Like they saying they are our soulmates and they are each other soulmates!!! Gosh i can't i am mush! They so sweet! We just got a demo version of this song on their new anthology album its sung by one of the members and i hear its very different than this one. I am excited to hear it. They slay in this genre. Love their songs. To me its we are all connected by DNA. That army and BTS are connected. It's a beautiful thing this bond. DNA camera work was reused in Suga's Shadow and in JHope's More MVs. BTS does not use green screen often. That is true. Some army spread misinformation that its never used. Shrugs. Great u saw the making off. Loved seeing u watch their reaction to their own MV. They so fun! The Permission to Dance (PTD) concerts were in LA, Korea and LV. They did more or less the same set list they just changed some of the encore songs. I think it was 22-24 songs. Something like that. LA was 3 days and same for Korea. LV was 4 days. All sold out of course. We had live viewing online for one day. And we had live viewing for Korea one day in theaters. I got to watch with army it was so fun. So Jin hurt his finger somehow. He had more than one surgery on it to fix the issue. Ouch. It was painful so he sat out this performance because of the injury. But he was still part of the stage. JK forgot his part that was funny. There were choreo mistakes in there. But they say their old and can't dance as they used too. All have injuries. I hope u watch their old stages for this. When they were younger they were faster and more in sync. They might do songs from their current album. They also might do ones that are most popular. I'll take anything. I love all their songs. Hugs. Have a good week! -2019 ARMY NY USA 💜

Thank you John, Such a lovely song the lyrics 영원히 함께니까 (because we are together forever) mean the world to me because this is how I truly feel. No matter the distance, the passing of time (almost 9 years as an ARMY), or if they are together or developing their solos, Bangtan and ARMy will always be together.

Amazing bts, and Wonderful Jk especially during the live concert, but not a word about him.

They always have backing track when they dance it depends sometimes it's loud sometimes it's low you can't hear that much but it's there it's literally impossible to do it while dancing

I was fortunate enough to to be able to see them in Vegas and it was incredible! Hands down the best concert I’ve been to. I was all the way in the highest section of the stadium but that didn’t matter. The energy is unmatched!!

I would love to see and hear Jin singing rock!

That whistle is very catchy. You were spot on John. 👍🏻 As always, great video. Thank you Fun Fact: The rainbow shirt JHOPE wore in the video. Is highly sought after. 🤔

From one good band to an other, have you done any reaktions to Nightwish?? Thank you for all Bts you serving us🤩

the visual transition in the beginning with tae, hobi, and the mirror is one of my favorite little parts of literally all their mvs edit: ABD HOBIS LA LA LA PART (I know they're all literally doing the exact same choreo, but hobi is just so bouncy and energetic with it and it's like,, captivating??)

The last part with j-hope singing “lalalala”-part always Makes Me so happy. Love it

A: it is see-through XDDDD he was there to kill all ARMYs!!!

DNA is the song that introduced me to BTS, will forever be special to me! 💜

this was the song that got me into them in 2017

Jin was sitting out because of hand surgery.

Jin had a finger surgery during their Las Vegas concert & during their performance at The Grammys. He was advised to limit his dancing/movements but sometimes he would join the group in some of their dance choreo.

The catchy whistle is JK; he recorded it for the song. 🎶 J-Hope shines so much in this, but I love watching Jin and SUGA; we can see them so much in the formations used for this performance. Great video as always! Thank you! 💜

Yes, see through top under the jacket (Jimin...and I think a few others). If nothing else, it may be because they get so hot with those jackets on. You could see the holy water pouring off JK especially in this. This was Las Vegas Permission to Dance concerts (4 sold out nights). Jin hurt his hand like on the 2nd day of rehearsal for the Grammy's and had to have surgery. He was still in a cast and unable to do most of the choreos for fear of re-injuring and needing additional surgery. One of my favorites and that Live Performance was fire!

24:31 RANDOMNESS RM NEVER GETS A HANDSHAKE 😂😂 Love DNA, JK's iconic whistle, 9:09 Mint SUGA, 9:15 RM's dimples, 9:45 Jin, V, Jimin visuals, 10:12 JHHHOOOPPPPEEE, 10:19 DNA Double Helix choreo, all the images, dancing - everything. It is my happy pill💜💜💜

Yet to come Run BTS For youth And maybe if we are kind We get louder than bombs

There is a video with "J-hope" instead of "DNA" and a some others with compilations of Suga screaming J-hooooope every time he appears on screen.. 🤣🤣🤣

BTS+ARMY= Destiny Or it could be about 2 people. It's whatever you want it to be.

Missed out again I see...akk! One day I'll get this right. Loved the analogies with the diamond and rising tides! Clever guy!

33:38 Jin hurts himself during practice so he had surgery on his finger He was requested to sit on a stool by his But he joined and performing whenever he saw fit. Because it is hard to be BTS on a chair. Vegas PTD and the heist from March 2022 All four concerts and award show, he will re introduced a new color for finger bands.

I probably one of the few ARMY that actually doesn’t love this song. I mean it is a decent song just not really for me…(I do like the concept of the song). Personally I love these two versions of DNA the most (pls check them out): -Jhope’s DEMO version -DNA (Pedal 2 LA Mix) (I think you might actually really like this version)

Who we love is in our DNA (or given "destiny" if you want to use a religous interpretation of it). And yet human societies creates stern and strict rules about who we can or can not love. Love is a natural thing and possible for all of us, so we should do our best holding on to it if a match "crosses our path". It makes me sad that this colourfull message does not land properly in many corners of the globe. But it makes me very happy when theese clever young men using their power by advocating for it in a suttle and well balanced way. For me this colourful song is a rainbow song and sometimes I get disapointed at ARMY not pushing harder for LBTQ-rights: BTS has been on it since the LY-era in lyrics, speaches, V-live and IG-post. ARMY has power and could knudge the world in the right direction. Open your hearts folks and thank you BTS!

Yes jimins shirt was see through and yeah Jins hand was injured so he couldn’t preform in all the songs but after the show he said he was so happy to even be there and he understands why ppl like bts so much now just by watching them perform but he still did some choreo but not all of it bc it’s to much for him

Miss them to perform

I saw this concert to. It was in LA. Also, Jin’s left hand washing injured somehow (I don’t recall what happened) but if you watch them do Butter at the 2021 Grammys, but Jin is injured at that time as well and they cleverly made him a part if the performance. A must see, I think.

It’s a pity that in the last video The PTD concert in LA they did not showed the crowd. It was wild 50+Thousand Army Bombs

Jin got hurt during a practice session, so had to get hand surgery . This is why he didn’t perform, same as the Grammy performance

this song is the one they made their American debut on TV at the amas ... It's interesting to watch the amas behind scenes they were so nervous

The thing with Jins hand...shortly before the left to come to perform at the Grammys, which was just before the Vegas concert series, he hurt his finger and had to have surgery. That's why he was sitting instead of dancing.

Yes! I would agree, I have yet to watch anything they put out where I’m thinking “ wow, that (member) is lacking” there’s no weak link tha5 pulls them down. All seven are determined not to settle for less than perfection. I think it’s rare that a group that size has no weak link AND also has the same dream, same determination💜 Also when they do their older songs at more recent concerts, like this live, they tend to play around more. Probably since they’ve done the choreo so much they know army will still love it. Imo anyway

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

please react to 2020 army song 7 reasons 💜💜

We were at both LA and Vegas concerts, and it is incredible! As much as we can feel the energy thru the screen…it is even more spectacular live!💜

It’s not that they don’t use green screen or cgi, it’s that if they can achieve the same impact with a practical effect then they do it. The great example is Fake Love where they actually dropped pieces of the floor out behind Jungkook, actually flooded the room Jimin was in, and actually set Suga’s room on fire. But Idol and Dynamite both used green screen, although I watched BTS’ reaction video to the Dynamite video and the part at the key change, when the cartoon fireworks shoot up behind them; one of the members said they tried to use real fireworks for that part but it didn’t look as good. And he was probably joking, but I believed him.

I tried getting that sweater that J-Hope wears in the music video but after seeing that it was from Gucci (I believe) I couldn't afford it 😅 so I ended up buying my bias wreckers sweater; Suga's. It's red with white letters that reads LOVED. It's my favorite I love it so much.

The live performance you watched is from the Permission to Dance on Stage concerts and Jin injured his hand at that time. The whole thing was in a cast and because of that he couldn't participate in choreo.

27:53 when they link hands, they're forming the DNA double helix 🧬

in the live performance it's just them and a live band. 💜🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

John you should listen to the DNA demo 😁😁😁

John, I think you have fallen into the rabbithole. I fell in 2019 and spent quarantine watching BTS . And I never left.

Wearing so much Gucci!

At last! Oh and in case no one else has said, there’s a rock version of this - Pedal 2 the metal mix 👌🙌🏻

I miss them so much!!! Bring back so much memories…PTDVEGAS🥹💜 I was hoping you’d also did the rock version… I love both versions!! If you could rock version too please 😁

They made a DNA strand withe their arms

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but there's a rock remix (DNA Pedal 2 LA) of this song, here's the live with a rock band: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_uVX8I1-N5Y.html

I know you have already reacted to Idol but you have to see Idol behind the scenes. It’s 3 of them. One is called the “shooting sketch”, the other one is “exiting reaction shooting”, and the last one is “dance battle during Idol”. Please see these 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

That was one of the last presentations, when Jin hurt his hand. At the Gramies he has to be sat too. He felt so bad for doing this (he wasn't the first, JK and V had to sit when they got hurt too), when Hobi praised him, he call himself a burden... ooohh How can we tell me how good he is??? I wanted to go on the stage and said that! Oh1 i thought you would put the J-Hope's DNA demo too, its awesome and totally different!!

Thank you for reacting to DNA. What I like about your channel is that , you're not only focusing on one aspect of the song. You have everything in one episode. More power to your channel 💜 I will wait for your next BTS reaction 💜 #ot7

The most unexpected thing I found out recently is that JK did the whistle used throughout the song! DNA is BTS’s first all out pop song. Before DNA, I’d say BTS’ catalogue is still a bit more on the unconventional side. DNA lyrics almost seems surface level, but it makes sense being the first of the “Love Yourself” trilogy which is about the early stages of love, before heartbreaks and self-discovery. - Regarding Jin, he hurt his hand while preparing for 2022 Vegas concerts so he had to sit out for most of all 4 shows. For songs that didn’t have choreography, Jin was able to perform with the rest of the guys. But choreography heavy songs, it just wasn’t possible for him to dance while mic in one hand and cast in the other. I went to both LA and Vegas shows so I feel so lucky!

28:56 you are 100% right!! when you are around other talent, it is impossible for you NOT to grow. people who are better than you in certain areas force you to grow OR get left behind. it's clear that you grew with your lead guitarist just like the rest of bts grew with J-hope and Jimin (their main and lead dancers, respectively).

please reaction mic drop 👍

Oh you picked the live version in PTD Las Vegas when Jin had injured his index finger and had a surgery to fix it. Hence, he's sitting with a bandage/cast to not move the finger and avoid further damage, but as you can see he's still doing those little helix move he's supposed to do w/ Tae. 🧬 Anyway, yeah DNA is that one very catchy song and I feel like I'm fluent in korean when this song plays. LOL Please do the Dope Reaction, it's one of my faves from their discography - it's freakin DOPE! 🤣

i love my boys. V is my bias, he's like a fucking anime character, did you know he was voted #1 most handsome guy in the world?

I love DNA! The live show was their PTD Vegas show - I wish I'd gone to it. There is a video when they had to dance to DNA in double time - it's so cool!

My goodness they look so good in these outfits lol 😩

Center J-Hope dance at the end🔥
