BTS - DNA MV REACTION [EARLY ACCESS]
Comments (4)
Hey! Really appreciate the other commenters’ and your responses! :) I’m glad my word vomit resonated with you all. Don’t worry, SKZ is definitely my current favorite group, so I’m all here for watching your journey! I hope I don’t grow out of them in the near future (I used get super attached to a group for 2-3 years and then fall back to being only casual listeners of new releases, but I feel like SKZ might be with me for the long run haha). I would say I Need U was their big break in Korea - super public-friendly and honestly still one of my favorite BTS songs to date. It’s part of the HYYH Part 1 album (released right before Part 2), but yes I think you can consider it as the prelude / start of that peak era I alluded to. Personally, full-album-wise HYYH Part 2 is *chef’s kiss,* but I Need U as a single song was definitely iconic and a good representation of their music from that time. Run, which was the single right after I Need U, is probably my favorite title by them hands down, but I kind of view the former and the latter two halves of a whole - hope this helps? 😄
Hahaha this is so awesome to hear! Going on this journey with you all is honestly making this adventure so much more fun that it would be on our own! It's just so fun to discuss with you after each video aha! And yess I fully understand where you're coming from! We're really new to K-Pop of course but even we can tell SKZ just have a different atmosphere about them! I can't imagine us ever drifting away! And I'm sure it's the same for yourself and a lot of other Stays aha! :D Ooh thank you very much for the heads up on this! We'll definitely prioritise those two next in that case :D Thank you so much! it definitely helped!!
(Maybe a hot take for some, so please don’t come after me haha): It’s refreshing to see you guys reacting to BTS after you’ve been exposed to other groups (e.g., Stray Kids, DAY6), as opposed to how for many others nowadays, BTS / Blackpink are often kind of like their gateway drugs to kpop. Nothing wrong at all with the latter of course, but I feel like you are able to have a more open-minded / holistic view of kpop without being super biased towards the brightness / flashiness / high production value of the more internationally popular groups if that makes sense. As someone who has listened to kpop since 2010 and has seen the industry truly evolve and grow, I love it when new fans are not exclusively attached to those big ticket groups. That all being said, I’m wondering how you think DNA compares to ON (which you reacted to earlier) - I’m slightly partial to DNA myself but actually much prefer their older, pre-2016 discography / eras which are a bit less colorful and flashy. If you ever get to it, as I’m sure you already have a lot on your plate, I’d be keen to see you guys have a listen to earlier BTS content (for me, they peaked album-wise at HYYH part 2).
i’m glad you said this! and honestly we should be able to say things like this without being scared of backlash. I think too many groups get compared to BTS and Blackpink because they get put as the standard but each group is different. Like people should give credit where it’s due without feeling like it’s going against their faves cause it’s not. Like these idols respect and give props to eachother idk why some fans think they can’t. Like if you like these groups that’s fine there’s nothing wrong with that but just give other groups a chance because there are just as good groups out there that unfortunately don’t get the same promotion or attention but if they did they would probably be just as big.
