The Kulture Study: BLACKPINK "Kill This Love" MV 

The fact that his face changed from stoic at first then to the uwu when Jisoo appeared looking like a goddess, tells a lot of things. Intellectuals can relate lol

Jennie - Tomb Raider Lisa - Suicide Squad Rosé - Fast And Furious Jisoo - Hunger Games

Someone said Jisoo visual art could be that of a crying eye, which I never thought about.

jisoo's part is just incredibly beautiful. if you look at it again, it forms a shape of an eye, and there's this fire ball behind her. and she sings something about crying fire from both eyes, so I guess thats its. it's not just gorgeous, is powerful

2:54 finally someone acknowledge jisoo, that's is my favorite part of the whole song

Youre the only reactor i trust because you love jisoo, the taste you have. Your reactions are always so honest and your point of view is alwyas so so interesting!!

Maybe I’m reaching here but I interpreted Jisoo’s initial scene differently. She says “look at me look at you” and then sings about “tears of blood” and this is represented in the MV, with the sun in which she’s in front of being the pupil. We can see the outline of the upper part of the eye, and then the piece that is added around her head is the actual “blood”.

Jisoo's vocal, Jisoo's first part and of course Jisoo's visual. She is amazing! I'm not even a fan but I think in this MV she's the best.

also,,,your jisoo reaction,,,the biggest mood. a goddess????

Him watching the mv:😶 *jisoo appears* him: 😍

I agree with it not feeling complete, I do think it works much better as a live performance for some reason.

Wow you just said everything that i thought of the song. And JISOOOOOOO

I love Jisoo’s and Lisa’s voices. There’s something about the quality of their voices that really stands out in my opinion.

Such a great feeling when your fave is Jisoo biased too!

Everytime i hear Jisoo vocals i get chills all over my body, her voice has something special, i don't know what it is, but is very VERY *VERY* good!!

Jisoo part is an eye. The ornament on her head symbolises the blood tears.

In Coachella KTL was used to restart the show back after the brief intermission where the band play instrumental while the girls rest and change wardrobe.

ur my favorite reaction channel bc u actually go in depth on the symbolism and actually teach me stuff i never even noticed before lmao

I wish more people discussed the symbolism in Kill This Love because it's all so interesting and it's *there* just like it was in Ddu-du Ddu-du.

Seeing a jisoo stan always makes me so happy cause we're so few.... Thank you ♥️

Finally PD! I've been waiting for you to react to this. Edit: Jisoo's parts are jaw dropping to me. She is such a goddess.

the way you react to Jisoo is so precious, I am truly thankful that you are appreciating such an underrated gem

Jisoo's scene is actually supposed to represent an eye and the pink glass is the eye becoming bloodshot from crying

THIS KINDA VIDEO REACTION THAT I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR! really smart PD ❤️ waiting for more videos! 🔥🔥🔥

'OMG does Jennie have bangs?' xD

I feel like this entire album was for jisoo, her voice fit everything so perfectly her parts are perfect for her.

'Hope not' and 'kick it' are my fav songs in their new mini album

I got the pink Japanese sweater and it's and it's sooooo cute also, I was patiently waiting for this reaction and you never fail to amaze me with your way of thinking and interpreting songs. Love it as always! Keep it up PD!

I was waiting for your reaction !!

Your reaction was so insightful! Amazing JOB

I’ve been waiting for this! Thank you PD, you’re the best!!!!

Yay! My favorite reactor! No matter how delay you are, you're still my number 1. Lol

Was really waiting for this. Can't wait for the listening party.

FINALLY I've been waiting for your review

I’ve been waiting for this reaction for sooo long thanks

I’m in love w/BLACKPINK! These angels always keeping me happy! Pure perfection. Can’t wait for next year now, or do we get more BLACKPINK this yr.💜🖤💖❤️🥀🇰🇵🇰🇷🇯🇵

I agree with you that this should be the opening number for a concert or performance hope coachella watched your reaction video hahaha! Because that will be so freaking awesome!!!

Wow, the most in depth reaction and review!! I love listening to you break down the videos

Ooh, i really love how you put it. Beacause after watching their coachella performance, your point of view really make sense cause they really did it in the middle of their performance, the pitch black then red accompanied by the trumpet really hyped up their stage even more

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!! Out of ALL the reaction video I've seen, you are the only one who had the same insight as mine. This song is heavy on trumpets and horns and for me it signifies that SOMEONE is coming, SOMEONE prominent and important, like royalties. I also imagine this song as a perfect opening for their concerts. Pretty much like Bling Bling of iKON (which is trumpet/horn heavy also)(they also use that song as their opening in concerts), I believe BP's producers intentionally made a song which has that kind of vibe.

YUSSSS BEEN WAITING😍😍❤️❤️

I've been waiting for this hahaha the longer I waited the more I got hyped 🔥🔥

Been waiting for this ♥️

Thank you for the symbolism explaination at the end i love it, i love the double meaning, symbolism, story telling that is fluid in most of their MV

I've been waiting for this video for days

PD.. I love how you express your thoughts through words!!!!! You amaze me every single time ❤️❤️❤️ Ily 🤟🏼

Oh wow, I absolutely love your new merch. Will definitely be getting one of the hoodies! Very creative and well done.

BEEN WAITING FOR YOUR TAKE PD 💕

You made an excellent point! I was also really let down by how abrupt the song ended, but as someone who’s going to their concert in May, I am hyped to see Kill This Love be the opening song. The marching band vibe and the build up is perfect for that!!

Always love the honesty in your reaction😍

I loved everything about the mv and you're right. I loved the symbolism in the mv. I didn't realize about the airpods until I saw someone else pointing it out it was a very smooth product placement.

daeng, I love the aesthetic of your video. It really made me feel good

Atlast! Been waiting for this!

I was waiting for you omg

you're one of the first people ive seen with merch thats actually very nice , gonna cop

can nooot wait for their album reaction! i knooow you’re going to love it.

Love the Kulture Study. Your intellectual thoughts on every song, is all we need. Good job on the breakdown analysis of Blackpink's song, Kill this Love! :)

I've been waiting for your analysis!

Your reactions are always top notch informational, I learned a lot man! Excellent observations! Thank you!

Finally I’ve been waiting for this

I really like the way you described the songs!!! It's so amazing

Is it weird that i like the audio of the song better than when i listen to the actual MV. Its like all the instrument are magnified or sum shit like that. Niceee one 👍👍👏👏👏

Finally...been waiting for you to react to this song 😊

Thank you - you helped verbalise my "it's not quite right" feeling I had when I first listened, and helped me understand why I felt it

Let's pray for that full album this year and constant touring.

I wasn’t in love with Kill This Love at first but watching a live performance it feels like it’s just.. so much more. It goes wayyy harder live

Been waiting for this reaction 🙏

great analysis as always. I think you're totally right and you will love the second song as follow up to "Kill This Love". Actually I prefer to listen to the whole EP in the correct order of the tracks. No shuffling. "Kill This Love" needed a few listens for me to understand what they did with the chorus, the base line, the surprising slow pace and why they ended it at that point. But it really grew on me. I love it now. It is more of an "anthem" than a traditional "song", different and like you said somewhat risky. And what an amazing show opener (for Coachella?) this will be. Gets the crowd really going. It already showed at their comeback stages, when the audience went crazy. It also perfectly allows the audience to sing along in the chorus and make it into a joint event. So in the end I'm really happy with it. And the music video is stunning. When Rose crys in the car... awwwwww.... And I will be never able to watch or play Tomb Raider again without regretting that it is not Jennie who plays Lara Croft.

Such a stylish set you have for this video!!!

His reaction when it comes to Jisoo appearing and singing :))))) I can feel you bro

I love your voice. So calm, it relaxes me so much. Had to say it lol 😂

Jisoo finally being acknowledged as the queen she is

MAN I LOVE that, I'm kind of a BLACKPINK stan and I've seen a lot of reactions but THAT is one true, full, deep reaction! Love it, it's the first time I've seen that deep an interpretation and that professional a reaction. You rock :)

can i just say i love your voice. its very nice to listen to and im not one who like asmr lol. idk why, just feels very comforting for some reason XD

Oh my god idk what was it about this song but u took the words right out of my mouth and described it perfectly

Now, time to wait for your album review on this!

The best reactor award goes to PD. You explained every detail so well that I don't know what to add more.

You nailed it about the missing bass in the drop. It almost feels like a song from a musical. It's the same feeling when you're waiting for the big drop in "As If It's Your Last". This is closer to Rock/Pop than a dance bop.

This song and MV are amazing.

OMG, I love ur reaction so much🖤💗

Thanks for the explanation 🤗

I totally agree.. I feel like it isn't long enough. I'm always wanting more.. I find myself listening to it about three times in a row before I can move on to another song in my playlist.

PD are you also gonna react to the other songs on their album? Just like square up their b side's tracks are amazing. And I think you will fall in love with Jisoo's voice since she stands out so much in this album with Rosé.

Jae being in your intro makes me smile every time

Damn finally a RU-vidr who goes deep into the reaction, love your reactions x love BlackPink x

This song really didn't sit right with me at first....but honestly it hasn't been that long but now I LOVE it.....there's just something about it that keeps me going. Thank you so much for the reaction PD ❤️

THIS is the one reacter(?) i like to watch that actually explains it well and respectful

the merch look so sickkk i think im gonna get one for my bday hehe

cant wait for you album reaction!! still waiting 💙

I LOVE that PD is the only reactor who got the symbolism to Lisa's part because no one else got that.

You missed out Ms. Aphrodite layed on the ground sir.. Imagine they kill the goddess of love---- secret agents/spice girls JENNIE is an Angel from Above that down and turn into Evil. LISA is the (serial) Cereal killer. JISOO is Ariel mermaid/ Game of thrones. ROSÈ is holding a FOUR LEAF CLOVER 😮😮 Fast in Furios. She's rushin' over. Can't pull over.

I'm so in love with the symbolism of this song. DDDD might be a catchier song but KTL is a statement.

excited for the listening party!!

I think I’m very loyal to you i didn’t watch any reaction videos until you uploaded this!

"OMG DOES JENNIE HAVE BANGS?!?" yessir and we're living for it

THE ALBUM IS GOLD THE B TRACKS ARE AMAZING PD

thank you i think this song is great !!

*Ill be waiting for the listening party, thank you.*

I'm blink and I'm here for blackpink, I swear. But I think I saw Jae in your intro(? So thank you so much for that😍😍 Thanks for the reaction! 💕

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FI. NA. LLY!!!!!!!! I've been waiting for YOUR DAMN COMMENTARY!!!!!!
