Performer Reacts to Jung Kook 'Standing Next To You' Dance Practice + iHeartRadio Performance 

Well said, Kpop isn't just about the music and the song, it is a whole performance. I think Jungkook dances equally as well as the professional dancers. Every aspect of him feels and responds to the music.

I know they are all professional dancers but you can feel the commitment from JungKook's dancing from his fingers to his toes.

First! lol Seeing Brain and Ian dance together again and with JK makes me so happy!

oh Jeff thank u, there was no boring moment int his 40 minutes reaction vid of urs I enjoyed every minute and I so appreciate that part when u emphasized about the dancers plight and significance and that Kpop and JK's debut and recent songs and performances highlight their talent and skills that are often shadowed by he artist and are rarely recognised and appreciated. Aside fr JK's aim for this album to make him develop and hone his vocal versatility and musicality, I am as well very grateful of the golden team dancers bec they are top notch in their field and they sure will challenge JK to become even more powerful and skilled in dance and performances... thank u again Jeff learned a lot fr u as usual

If you watch his early BTS dance practice videos he used to dance in Timberlands. In BTS he didn't have enough opportunities to showcase his vocal abilities as the lines are divided between members. The highs and lows were usually done by others. He mainly did harmonizing and adlibs. etc and of course chorus here he gets to sing the whole song.

I always love how you appreciate the artistry first and dissect the details after. I also like that your videos are always so informative. Thank you for the genuine reaction! Love from PH! ❤

Idk why but i tend to forget just HOW GOOD of a dancer Jungkook is. Everyone knows that he's an all-rounder but i don't think his dancing gets praised enough. Standing Next To You was a perfect reminder of that 💜

RM didn't gave him the nickname GOLDEN MAKNAE for nothing..im just soooo happy that finally he embraced that nickname and he gave his all in this album,im sure all of his BTS hyungs are so very proud of him,especially his RM hyung❤

Yes I've been thinking about how helpful the dance competition shows are because I've been able to recognize some dancers when I watch kpop choreographies and I feel so proud 🥺

You would love the Jimmy Fallon performance with the dancers, or the Times Square performance!

Thank you very much for your reaction! I loved your enthusiasm and passion for dance and music, and your explanations. Jungkook, in my opinión, is the best artist of the universe 😊

Jeff, I was so happy to find your channel. I am 76 and found BTS at the 2017 AMA doing DNA. I was struck immediately and spent a week day and night learning who was who and catching up on them. I am Canadian born in Toronto and moved when I was 3 or 4 th the US. Anyway, I am all about the song (I have to like the music) but it has to be in combination with amazing dancing. The reason I love BTS and Taeyang of Big bang is because of these two elements. I commented on your reaction to Jimin. I love him because of his classical training. He is so elegant and flexible. None of the others can replicate that. Jungkook is the smooth energizer of the group. I love his choices in music the most and His powerful dancing. Also he is a workout maniac and has about 7% body fat. Pure slim muscle. Anyway, it is funny that in my lifetime I discovered the Beatles and Was immediately sucked in. I saw them live on the Ed Sullivan show at the studio in NYC. 36:25 Since then *NSYNC, Justin Timberlake, Usher and now BTS have been my passions. I have been to 8 BTS concerts, 1 Suga concert and the Billboards to cheer them on. I love your descriptions of their dance. Music without dance is just incomplete for me. Thank you.

The dancers/choreographers are excellent but sorry, can't take my eyes of JK, he's just glorious! This is my favourite song. The live is insane, I've got goose pimples, I can't believe this boy, he's one of a kind! Thanks for the lovely reaction, Jeff.

Jungkook did an impromptu performance in NY Times Square. You should check it out!!! He slayed

YESSSS!!! Let us fangirl together 😊 best use of 40 mins lol Agree with the spotlight on the dancers, and in this perf too I am glad they could still showcase their own styles in between the group choreos and still look cohesive and JK not being afraid to match their intensity! ❤️‍🔥 *chef's kiss* Really, as an ARMY, knowing and witnessing the growth that Jungkook has shown in this perf/album makes such a satisfying and amazing journey! I agree with what you said esp about his maturity! sooo proud of seeing how he has put himself out to the global music scene as Jungkook and prove just how much of a global superstar he has become!!!

Yes, watched til the end. I love reviews from a dancers point of view, but also your appreciation of his vocals. Even Yoongi on Suchwita episode 21 told Jung Kook he felt he leveled up a couple levels recently. I would agree, even though I never thought it possible. There is definitely a more confident, mature Jung Kook appearing in front of our eyes these days. Wooh! It's hot in here now. lol

I really love your reactions...how you love and appreciate JK, and your knowledge of dance is very impressive. We all know JK is incredibly handsome and talented...so are you Mr. Jeff Avenue...just so you know!

I love a long reaction when it’s filled with good analysis and comments and, of course, fanboying 😂

The TXT stage concert... it's the choreo and the vocals- no autotune... it's savage..

I did listen all the way Jeff! Good job you’re amazing!!!

Yes! Someone excited about the dance! Enjoyed all of your review. Thanks.

I love your reaction. Jungkook is really amazing!! Global superstar!

Love your reaction. I enjoyed it a lot. Jungkook indeed is a global pop star of his generation. Thank you Jeff for this amazing reaction👍👏

I loved your entire commentary on this song. I feel this is his best song to date. I've loved his solo work in Begin and it skyrocketed from there. 💜

First time commenting on any youtube videos. I've been watching your reaction videos and i just can't help but appreciate you, being an artist yourself, appreciating other artist with such detailed and well explained manner that makes me realize how effort has been put out there just to make a video such as this. I hope to see more of your reaction videos. And at my age of 40+, i love, love, love kpop. Armyblink here by the way. ❤❤❤❤

Hey Jeff … was patiently waiting for your reaction to the dance choreo, thanks a lot! If I may, would love to see your reaction at his surprise TSX stage (@Times Square NY last week, Thurs) … a treat!!! 🥰

Yes he is insane！！Love your reaction ♥ Thank you so much!!!♥ Please check the The Tonight Show live & the time square live ♥

Yasss! I was waiting for your reaction on the choreography and dance practice! Thank you for this! I truly enjoyed the dissection and fanboying. I relate with every shriek 😂 also learned a lot from the dance analysis. Thank you 💜

Always enjoy your reactions you understand kpop and how complicated it can be. Also I'm happy I'm not the only kpop fan in Canada. There aren't a lot of us that I can find. Been into kpop for more than 20years. I'm 70 but it keeps me going. Thanks 😊❤

thank you for taking the time to give our boy the justice he deserves.

I really enjoy your thoughts on dance, dancers, and kpop. Thank you!

Thank you for the wonderful and insightful reaction! 💜 Jung Kook is so very talented :)

Thank you Jeff! Always have fun watching your reactions. So genuine and appreciative!

Been waiting for this!! That was so satisfying. JK is such a superstar. Thank you so much! JK will have a documentary of his whole album process, just not sure when it’s going to be released.

JUNGKOOK is THE POWERHOUSE. He really got it all, it's insane! He's so perfect😩 Man got the voice, dancing skills, visuals, charisma, stage presence, on point facial expressions, etc. (too many to mention). I'm so glad they explored this solo era of theirs coz we got to enjoy each person's artistry. Jungkook is never lacking in any aspect. He was born to perform, to be on stage, blessing us with PURE TALENT. He's so satisfying to watch. And also, he really has the best personality, like man, you can really tell he's so genuine with ARMYs and he's so lovable that any/every person he works with instantly admires him. Also, his professionalism is top tier. MANNNN I LOVE HIM SO MUCH🥺🥹😭🫶 I REALLY WAITED FOR THIS GOLDEN ERA OF HIS. LOVE YOU MY GOLDEN BOY! HE DESERVES ALL THE LOVE, SUPPORT & SUCCESS.🫶 I'M ALSO LOOKING FORWARD TO HIS WORLD TOUR, HE ABSOLUTELY DESERVES A WORLD TOUR. LESHGOOO!!!

Made it to the end, no problem😂, in fact I'm about to rewatch for the moments when i was listening but couldn't see it, lol. This was really great, and I really enjoyed your in depth breakdown. Really wonderful to get to share with someone who can truly appreciate how much goes into this, instead of just "ah, look at that. wow."

I know it was 4 months ago, but the dancers in the practice are Brian Puspos, Ian Eastwood, Jake Kodish, Devin Pornel, Dom Lashawn and Jake Brandoff. Nick Joseph and Vihn Nguyen are in the mv and Jake Brandoff and Dom Lashawn are not. They rotate in and out for different performances all of them 😘💜🫶🏻🫰🏻 And JK sounds SO good live. Brilliant 💜

I really like your fanboying ❤ always the same reaction as me 😂😊

CRAZY LEVEL JK ⚘️

I’ve watched several reaction videos and this one maybe a bit longer but definitely worth it. I really felt how genuine your reaction is and was so informative. Best one to date.

Excellent reaction all the way to the end! Interesting and informative. I always look forward to your reactions. Thank you!

JK makes everything look easy! He is THEE ACE

I can't get enough of Jungkook's performance every day.

JK is my everything 🐳🌿🐳

Great reaction Jeff! Your insight helps us understand those difficult moves

LOOOOOOOVEEEE YOUR REACTION!! thanks so much!! i really feel you when you watched the choreography and live version, that little scream at the end, it was me too hehe😅. Jungkook is a global super star, we are so proud!

Jk and his dancers are amazing! The best of the best! 🔥

i love your reaction video! thanks you so much for the details. JK is a true and complete artist!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

You should also do the Time Square Live. He does a couple songs from his albums there.

Watched all 40 minutes of your reaction. I was waiting for you the moment the choreography vid was released. ❤

People are upset with the professional dancers because they were individualistic and groovy but this song requires the extra groove and exta oomph. I personally like this choreo with brian and ian as the backup with jungkook. All the swag and smoothness is amazingggggg

I've watched this with you a few times now, and I just enjoy it so much!! Thanks for sharing💜

Keone is such a KINGGGG ✨🇵🇭

I actually liked the "PODCAST" (LOL) part of this video. Because YOU ARE a performer, You know to appreciate the other dancers, and I think that I never really thought about it like that, I mean, of course, I KNEW that, but I didn't think about it too much, that dancers would prefer working/performing with K-Pop artists/Idols, rather than with Western artists. Most of Western artists "Just" sing, and add dancers as a form of "Decoration" and fun/light thing to add to their performance, to enhance their own stage, but It's never too complicated, cause they're not dancers themselves so they can't really join them, they won't look as good, so they won't do that. And I'm not saying that as a Diss to Western music because obviously, that's one of the only things that I've listened to before I got into K-Pop. There are some really amazing and talented singers out there, they're just not dancers... With K-Pop though, Dancers ARE one of the main things on stage, they make the performance, and the bigger/harder it is, the bigger/harder they go, the better, cause the Idols dance just as well as they can dance. The dancers can really shine and show off their own talent cause they don't take away from the artists, they add to them. K-Pop, Of Course, is all about the music, BUT It's only one aspect, that's why they train for so many years, that's what makes K-Pop, K-Pop. Their ability to perform. They're not "Just" Singers or rappers, They're also dancers. Idols train for hours and hours in many different styles of dancing. That makes it an amazing place for "Back-up" dancers, cause they're not "Back-Ups", they're front and center together with the artists, and the more they show off their talents and abilities, the more the artists love and appreciate them, cause they worked, and still working, very hard on their own dancing abilities. I think that they appreciate each other very much on a professional and personal level, that Western artists, the majority of them at least, won't understand.

I just really enjoy watching your reactions because you are so very knowledgeable about many aspects of kpop and I learn so much and look out for those things you mention when I watch a performance on my own! I definitely feel all the effort that you put into these videos and completely agree with everything you said about Jungkook and the dancers here. Thank you so much!

네 그의 모든 것이 어메이징 어메이징 어메이징 어메이징 서프라이즈 개 놀랍네요 !! 정국이는 비교 불가, 대체 불가야

I was with you for the whole video and enjoyed every little moment and details that you explained.

Love your reactions. I made it to the end as I love Jung Kook too. No boring moment always look for your reaction when one of the guys drop new content.

I looooove and appreciate videos like this Jeff, dance practice, dance & vocal performance videos all in one. I do not mind the long video coz HONESTLY I enjoy your reaction-analysis (BTS & EN- are my faves). And I get hype with you all over again. I get hyped up even more when I watch you reacting to moments I love. Your reactions are contagious too! AND you make your explanations easy to understand, even for me who isn't as well-versed in English. (I love your pronunciation & diction, btw). And I watched till the end of the video! ;") JK is such a well-rounded performer, don't you agree?

He actually yanked his necklace cause it got caught on his earring. 😮 24k white gold necklace being stomped on by the dancers LOL 😅

Thanks for the reaction ,bro ❤️‍🩹🫂

Jeff,you are such a hoot to watch! Yes watched all of it. Appreciate you.

Loved it! All of it!

Loved it! Stayed till the end 😌👌

Made it til the end 🙃

that band really is amazing

you said he 'took out his ears' but his chain got stuck and when he shoved it off his ear it ended up on the floor to his right.

Amazing.....JK sooooo cool!

I was fangirling with you for the whole 40 minutes lol! ❤

Hi there Jeff i love ur reaction really. Love lots from Philippines They are the best...Jk is the king indeed.

I was interested in a dancer's POV to analyze the choreography and also talk more about the back up dancers. I do feel bad for not knowing more about them and most about Brian don't BTS liking or doing his covers. So thanks! Quick question so none of the back up dancers are from the same team or company? Did they really pull them from all over? Hopefully in his documentary he'll go in to depth of who he chose to be part of the team as well. Oh wow. I didn't realized the live band were seasoned. Gosh would like to hear their POV along with the back up singers about working with JK as well.

love this

i love this reaction
