Performer React to BTS MMA 2018 Full Performance (방탄소년단) 

If I recall correctly, Bighit actually spends for all of their stages in Korean awards shows, so the budget thing isn't something the shows give them.

All three solo dances are heavily inspired by different Korean traditional dances, and Jimin actually won an award for his fan dance! The whole performance was basically one big 'Fuck you' to people who were saying that BTS were becoming americanized or catering to Western audiences. Also, I just wanted to say that I really enjoy watching your reactions, because it's obvious that you care about BTS and you have a lot of interesting comments from your perspective as a performer. It's interesting to hear you talk about little things that are normally glossed over!

Wait... WHAT? You haven’t seen the MMA 2018 performance before. 😱 Where have you been boy? I thought this was the best BTS performance until the guys killed the MMA 2019. The three Js slaying as always. Hobi showing his body control and isolations, Jimin showing his elegance and confidence while dancing, and Jungkook showing his dancing skills with powerful moves. 👏🏽👏🏽

Jimin always killed it

Jimin more higher jump/flip, their song N.O and We are bulletproof live performances and MMA 2019

35:19 I swear you must be the first reactor I’ve seen comment on the camera work flub here. The boys and the other dancers/artists on stage were so perfect though! This is hands down my favorite performance!!

Another fanboy of jimin.... Yes!! 💪

Both Jungkook and Jimin are black belts in tae kwon do. Jimin also did 8 years of training in kendo. High kicks? No problem for these guys. Also, Big Hit always pays for their own stage costs WAY above whatever amount the shows may give them. They don't scrimp at all. They are promoting their own culture in this fabulous performance. They also probably completely paid for their set on Corden's show. They always know exactly what they want for their sets. They never cheap out and it shows.

This was an amazing performance and my fav bit was Jimins fan dance as he did it so gently and smooth and silky, also ive been and army since 2014 and these 7 lads have helped me theu some of my darkest days and have helped me to calm down wen ive been stressed out, just listening to their voices help to calm and relax me

Really like your in-depth reactions😀 A performer who points out with knowledge about important parts of their performance, not only " ahh that looked nice😆" Hope you keep doing Reactions like that😀

IKR HOBI ALWAYS LOOKS SO FREE. Even when I watch their concert fancams he doesn't always stick to the main choreo like, he adds a little bit of something into his moves. That's why I think he's a master performer, he never shows the same thing twice, you always notice something different and you don't get bored of him. His charisma and confidence in his performance ability shines. Like you could throw him on an empty stage, play a random beat and he WILL give you grand damn show. Some people belittle his street dance/freestyle dance background and think it's inferior to some dance styles but man ITS SO HARD TO NOT LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT DOING FREESTYLE also he built his confidence and professional attitude from the streets. His strict attitude and serious love towards dance is what made him become BTS' dance captain, the team had THAT much trust in him. He is the performance leader of this worldwide group. (side note: hobi is so in love with dance that in any free time he has he tries to learn new styles or relearn styles that he hasnt had much practice in like; house dance) tbh in their early days their main choreographer mr son sung deuk mentioned how jhope held back a lot for the team, jhope didn't want the team to be criticized in their performance ability so he stepped up to guide each member, have them do the choreo one by one in order for their performance to perfect. There are times their main choreographer isn't with them, jhope leads. In their behind the scenes dvd, while rehearsing on stage, Jhope will call out a member who did a wrong move and teach them what they need to correct it or make it simpler for them to do.

The MMA 2019 is more and more and more insane

Did you watch mma2019? You must see that. Especially jimin's solo dance... It's really really amazing.. Speechless..

taehyung most of the times when he dances is feeling himself, looking so comfortable and thus we see his energy

Another really interesting reaction with insightful comments! Oh THAT down to the ground Semi Split is now LEGEND, and it is all my bias's Jimin work, which members have acknowledged repeatedly. And FYI, after Jimin's epic ground breaking fan dance (which broke gender norms because the dance is normally done by women), The Kim Baek Bong Korean Fan Dance Conservation Society presented Jimin with a plaque of appreciation! On it KBB Fan Dance Conservation Society wrote, “By having reinterpreted the beautiful Korean fan dance in a unique way, you have made a great contribution in raising the status and aesthetic value of the Korean fan dance globally.” AND more recently, the Korean Cultural Center in China posted a promotional video for Korean traditional dance on Weibo - which highlighted Jimin's fan dance! So happy Jimin is your bias too! ;-)

I love watching BTS perform. I mean look at that stage and their performance. My bias is Jimin, his duality and dance is out of this world.

Jimin was awarded a plaque of appreciation from the Fan Dance Cultural Society for this performance!💙❤️💜

I get what u mean about Taehyung,he is indeed mysterious.I cant even begin to explain all that is Kim Taehyung.

This little dance that yoongi does in the intro of fake love is so fucking cute 😔😔😔😔

5:00 I totally agree that his expressiveness has this unique feel to him, that's hard to explain and find the origin, but it also translates to his acting... I loved his acting in Hwarang

Actually I speak Spanish, but I understand some English and that's why I love watching your video reactions, I make the effort to understand every word you say and also be attentive to your facial expressions that are magnificent. I love to see you because I feel that you are transparent and that everything you see and feel you say it with total sincerity, I hope you grow at the channel level because you deserve it.❤️

"It's hard to dance with those clothes" That's why kpop idol is on another level of performers😅 they singing, dancing, acting, but also need to keep the style on(even when they need to perform 7+ song in a row each day)

I believe the company pays for their own artists stage in Korea award shows. BTS stages got more epic every year because Bighit put major $$$ in their productions. They take their craft seriously from costume, remixes of their songs, stage set, backup dancers and other guests musicians/dancers, cultural and historical references. It’s almost a theatre/musical/movie production on its own. US award shows can get an upgrade if BTS performs fully. They transformed James Cordan’s late late show stage with Black Swan. Imagine what they could do in a full scale award show performance on bigger stadium stage. (hint - their stadium SY concert tours)

I am also Jimin bias, but I just love how you give credit to all the members for how hard they have worked to get where they are today! Your reactions are my favorites because you really break everything down and point out a lot of aspects of their dancing and singing that most of us would probably not notice! My favorite part of this reaction was the emotion you showed about how hard they had to work and fight to get to where they are today!!!! Hope you will do more BTS old and new 💜💜💜💜💜

Jeff jimin training helped him with the jump kick he does it a lot , also jk , jimin, and Jin are experienced in martial arts and j hope well he just a great dancer and I love how they incorporate that in their dancing. Also they love African dance too

I do enjoy watching your reaction vids. Your explanation to every detail of their moves is amazing. I also like how you justify bts' choreo as well as their attitude and passion in their works. Thank you. 💜

I thought you would have watched it already.....well this is one of their best and iconic performance, in 2019 I was thinking well not just me all the ARMYs kept thinking how they gonna top this and as usual we know BTS never disappoints ARMY, you might have saw the MMA 2019 performance(the Dionysus dance practice) if not please watch it, they killed it......

Ur totally right about Taehyung though....he dances with emotion and its so mysterious....but its so hard to describe how he can actually dance like that

"what era is this again?" me, looking at the windows in the set: victorian? gothic? "ohhhhh, fake love era."

Everybody says...its not an awards nights..but their concerts.. Taeyoung was so artistically...it shows in his facial expressions... Thanks a lot for that meticulous reactions and observations..well done..😊😊💜💜💜 Army Philippines

I understand what you are saying about Tae. He has a depth to him. Like all of them wear masks between their real selves and stage selves, but it feels like Tae hides any vulnerable part of him, no matter who he is with. In the early years Tae was always acting happy, doing his boxy smile, joking around. But as he has grown older he has shed his last vestiges of innocence and vulnerability. He smirks more than he smiles. He usually does neither.

▶Jimin's voice:heartbreaking, beau- tiful, r&b voice & Tae's deep, husky, beautiful r&b voice are the 2 most unique, instantly recognizable voi- ces in KPop! Jimin= gorgeous! Will perform@Fact MusicAwards Feb.29!

Again, I learn so much about performing and dance from you. Have you thought about getting into directing yourself? We talk about these sons as being nostalgic, but in reality they are not that old. I'm amazed by the sheer quantity of music that BTS and BIG HIT produce. 3 albums in one year? Insane!

Jeff: Namjoon, can i be your bestfriend please? Jackson is shaking 👀👀👀

Jimin is my bias, and no one come near... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Please do not stop reacting, pointing out dance moves, technicalities, the cool stuff, the fun stuff, and most of all, fanboy’ng! 😊 I enjoy every bit of it. Keep doing you, boo! 💜

i spent my 48 mins to watch this and this is the best reaction ive ever seen omg you're so dedicated, and the way how you put your opinion into words the details is just so so so so so amazing??? wow

V is charismatic thats the word

Ohhhh 1st time watching a reaction by you, thank you for all yout insider's inputs and for being able to explain in detail why BTS are such top tier performers. For sure we all dream of the day when they'll be able to really show what they can do on US TV...!!!

완벽한 천재들의 진짜 공연이지요 !!!!!💜🙏

Haiii you got a new viewer yeah thats me.... Hahahha i like your reaction and the way you try to analyze every move from their dance and success for you

5:00 I know what you mean... I think since Taehyung is really good at acting it helps him express the feelings better

4:58 I'm thinking the same when i see Tae Tae's dance is so pure like his soul his aura like you said I definitely can understand you!!!

I'm adding you as one of my favorite reactors to bts 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Thank you for loving them

Luv u Jiimin u are the best

I really like your explanation on the dance techniques. Thank you.

Atlast mate you've reacted to it.. im quite waiting for it..and i'm soo happy that you've pinpointed a lot of things which other reactors wont even bother or get curious about!Super happy bout that!Keep it up!

the wheeze i let out when you said "I cant wait for them to get this type of budget in the united states" people were so in awe at their dynamite vmas perf if they saw this they'd probably just evaporate

your emotional reaction really got to me because i felt the same way, i teared up along with you

MMA 2018 was epic! Then came MMA 2019!!! Speechless!!! I love your reaction and comment throughout the video. It makes us appreciate BTS’ craft, talent, and hard work again and again! 💜💜

Omg you’re so sweet literally I can’t when you started tearing up I started tearing up omg thank you so much for supporting the boys thank you for creating these videos as well you deserve more subscribers than you have! Your videos are really good and you’re literally so kind hearted thank you so much I purple you 🥺💜

This is such an epic and iconic performance!!!! 2:10 there was smth Mirrored there, I don’t remember though 4:40 gosh, I agree! I also love how he uses his hands and his limbs, he also locks and pops so powerfully I think that th cloaks and masks were already a nod to persona since persona as such was used for the masks actors used in the theatre in Ancient Rome and Greece (as far as I remember)

I thought it was only the vocal coaches turns out just every coach reactor in music whether its vocals or dancing is just in love with jimin

Jimin’s dancing is perfection! Everything about him is perfection!💛🔥

Happy that there's a reactor that gives value to their dance performances and not just about their vocal abilities... Kudos bts and to you jeff. New subscriber here.

They always turn award shows into their own concert 😉💜

every time I watch one of your videos and hear your commentary on tough their dance moves are, my heart hurts from knowing how much of a toll their performances take on their bodies ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

This was so good, I love hearing your perspective!!!

Thank you so much for this video!!!

I actually learnt a lot from this video. The choreographies are much more difficult than I thought. Interesting perspective and thanks for sharing!

I LOVE your reactions. It's good to learn from your perspective and the the technical side of the dances, especially. And the funny thing is every time I listen to your reaction/comment, I playback on the video to see what you are talking about and catch what I missed hahaha

I know I'm late, but thank you so, so much for doing these reaction videos! I rly like how your comments are meaningful, not just ooohs and aaahs. I also love how you take the time to look closely at each bts member(even if you have a bias XD) So glad I found your channel!

Hi I really enjoy your reaction. I love it that the fact that even your biased is jimin, but you are giving ur opinion sincerely to other members as well. And I can feel you really appreciate BTS as a whole team. Ps. I'm Jimin biased too.. ahahahaha his MMA2018 fan dance really make me go crazy and even to now... Have you watched his serendipity live stage? I'm sure you did. Would love to hear your reaction also MMA2019 BTS performance. I really cried watching Jimin solo dance there :D

I really like your reactions, keep going and take care always 💜💜

I’ve been going back through your reaction videos and I just wanted to comment that I really enjoy your commentary. You sound very genuine in your observations and thoughts and I really enjoy hearing your thoughts about the performances. I did just want to say that if you ever start feeling overwhelmed with uploading a lot of these know you can take a break, for a lot of the reactors that I’ve watched there has come a point where it no longer feels like they are watching because they want to, but instead just for the views and interactions - Basically this is just me saying, thank you for coming across as so honest, I’m glad to have found your videos and I hope that you continue to genuinely enjoy the content you watch :)

Thank you for the constant highlight the hard work tt the members who are not dance inclined have to put in to make a whole cohesive performance. Even as a dancer there are some genres tt we will find hard to express and have to go doubly hard to try. I have nothing but respect for these guys.

I want to say that I love the way you react to every single video

Hi from Singapore. I love your comments and insights on the performance - both dance and singing given your professional background. Keep up the good work. Love your hair! xoxo

I love all of them so much!! But..I have my bias too Jiminieee✨😳 They're so amazing💜💜💜 I love your reaction too😳 I think I gain some knowledge lol😂😂

thankss forr reactinggg the videoo!!

💜 Thanks for giving viewers your great insights, analysis & reactions! FYI: For this show BTS & BigHit didn’t received any extra money! They have spent about us$350000- of their own money to make these amazing performances to celebrate with their fans all over the world because it was televised all over the world! 💜

There was no delay in the performance from Fake Love to Airplane PT2…JK just changed his pants and shoes SUPER fast. This is hands down my Favorite Awards performance from them of all time. EPIC!

I loved your reaction and explanation about the dancing 💜 MMA 2019 is more wow you’ll see

Amazing performances!!

Not even 7 minutes in the video and I'm already on the notification squad😁 Love your reaction💜

Finalmente alguém que me entende sobre como e diferente o jeito que Jimin canta!!!

Thank you reaction for my favorite BTS live performance video

Insightful. Thank you

We same bias jimin love you reaction from Malaysia

I watched your video by accident and now here I am... watching & enjoying every reaction video you do that youtube recommend me to see 😂 you are such a sweet, gentle and nice person I see:) and oh, your reaction is so genuine and detailed! I love it💕🤞

I really enjoy your notes on movements, etc. Although we know it's all very hard, the technicalities (we wouldn't necessarily have noticed) you point out makes us realize just how much, thanks for your thoughtful comments.

Best part of ur reaction beside reminds us how hard the moves is u pause when u talk

You should deffo react to Jimin’s talent explosion. It shows all his splits, kicks, jumps etc

Someone said that the instrumental used in Idol is different from the mv/song. The instrumental here is more bold and aggressive like showing what youve got.

man! u will b more amazed by mma 2019! no enough words cn explain❣️

I'm rewatching your old bts reactions after the legend of kpop reaction on fire song, and noticed how much your reactions improved (idk in what way, like,the way you describe things?😂) Anyway i love your reactions keep it up! (I was hoping to find you react to fire choreo bcs i immediately searched it after that reaction haha)

Oo...now I know why they couldn't make performance like this in US, thanks for the info. Just found out your videos 😆 great explanation and reaction. I love it

Wow Tis is a Long videos !!! 😂 I will watch tonight 😘😘

I've learned a lot through your comments from their performance! Nice reaction kababayan 😅😄😃😆😁😂😀😊

Your reaction very good 👍👏👏

When you start getting emotional it's when you know you are down deep... ARMYs for live

i guess we all need ur reaction n idea on jimins lie performance do it pls

Now I’m watching through all of your bts videos🥰🤩👍🏻❤️

"Namjoon can I be your best friend please" "Jungkook looks like a baby" The biggest moods

I like you're vídeos so much and reaction Plis enjoy more and waching but not pause much 💜 I purple you ❤ jiminie 👉( you nice keep going)

9:57 Not sure if you know about the pairs in BTS during different era. In HYYH era, the pair is JK+SUGA, Jimin+Jope, V+RM; in WINGS era it turned to be JK+RM, Jimin+SUGA, V+Jhope. As you said if Black Swan is the reflection of Fake love, it just echo the HYYHWINGS two parallel worlds

Yes this performance is good

Taehyung is on fire 🔥

You said in Korea, BTS is given big budget by the organiser bcos they are huge. FYI, performance in awards shows (whether MMA, MAMA, Golden Disk Awards etc.) by an artist is financed by the artist's management company. The organiser (in this case~ MMA) does not pay a cent to the artist. Ofc, MMA will decide on the time allocation, arrangement (who gets to perform last) and provide the assistance (staff, set designer etc) but money comes frm the label company 😔. For this show, BH reportedly spent abt USD $270,000. I guess BH doesn't mind spending bc this is a huge exposure to the general public, opportunity to showcase BTS' talents.

Hahaha of course Jimin can dance, bcoz he is a DANCER an original contemporary dancer before joined the company, no wonder! Also J-Hope.. Of course he can dance, he's the most stable dancer on team & become the main dancer, bcoz he used to a street dancer, so no wonder too! But the rest, they're deserve to be appreciated more for theirs dancing skill from zero experience till how u see them now. That's freakin incredible!
