In 2022, TIME magazine cataloged BLACKPINK as "ENTERTAINMENT OF THE YEAR 2022" and it is the first time in history that a girl group has achieved it.

BP MVs are way beyond kpop. That’s why they are so famous. People get blown away by the multiple play of lightings and colors. Together with the beautiful visuals of the members, chorography moves, and these incredible music, it’s always so mersmerising to watch over and over again. That’s why their MVs can go beyond billion viewship. They are way way ahead of the global competition.

A little background: *HOW YOU LIKE THAT* is about coming back from a dark place stronger than before. There are many Greek references in the video, a few examples are: The winged statue in the temple represents Nike, Goddess of Victory. Rosé (silver hair), in the beginning, is portraying Persephone, Goddess of Vegetation (plants, flowers) and the daughter of Zeus. One day while she was out gathering flowers, Hades, God of the Underworld, abducted her and dragged her down to the Underworld where she was forced to become his wife. The video shows her in her beautiful image, surrounded by flowers, as well as how she became, dirty and grey, staring up at the world through a hole in the Underworld. She was eventually allowed to return to the surface for part of the year, which is why we have Spring and Summer. Jennie (maroon dress) under the umbrellas is surrounded by dancers, their hands are "spiders", crawling over her face. Directly after this, under the burning umbrellas (they're rotating too, by the way), Jisoo is seated in a chair that is spiderlike in its design. The Trojan Horses at the end are a message from BLACKPINK to the world. They symbolize the fact that BLACKPINK, like the Greeks, will emerge and take over the global music world. If you look at the last scene you will notice that on the inside of the dome it looks like there's an organic growth over parts of the ceiling. It's actually a map of the world that the group is going to dominate.

How you like that, a very significant and representative title of the color, essence and power of Blackpink, for me who has been in the kpop world for years since the first generations... this comeback was very impressive and very important for the kpop industry, The impact was so great that it was not for nothing that it had many world records... the lyrics, the dance, the outfits, the sets, the colors, the presence and personality of each one of them, the performances, the voices, the story... Honestly it was the definitive M/V, I can't see another video like this until this time.

BLACKPINK will be the headlining artist at COACHELLA 2023, they will be the first kpop act to headline COACHELLA in its entire history, they will also be the first girl group to headline the festival, and they will be the first Asian act to headline the festival in its entire history.

Love the reactions from a filmmaker point of view which is often overlooked, as a huge NF fan you should do a (live?👀) reaction on his new song called "Hope" dropping tomorrow 5 PM UTC! :D

I always love BlackPink set design and colorful images, with the fast paced motivated camera movements

You may have also noticed the multiple references and symbolism from Greek Mythology. BP are goddesses after all...There's a hint there that no matter how beautifully shot something is, it can be empty unless there is a strong theme or storyline attached... There are also a number of themes that run through all the BP MVs...rain, fire, ice, flowers, tropical gardens, umbrellas, temples, ruined cities... There's a lot of careful production design going on, Korean MVs are never just pick and shoot something...they train filmmakers exceptionally well there...

Blackpink MV how you like that always be iconic and Awesome and they killed it 🖤💖💖

They have MV another level, go chek out, kill this love, pink venom, playing with fire, and more 😍

Blackpink doesn't use greenscreen (except once in Whistle and once in Shut Down for a few seconds), or CGI all of their sets are practical so you can imagine how expensive the mvs are to make, lol. Definitely check out Kill This Love or Pink Venom by Blackpink. Some interesting set pieces in there for sure.

BLACKPINK with 84.2 million subscribers on KZfaq is officially the artist with the most subscribers in the world.

Totally agree - their lighting team is unreal

Coincidentally you mentioned Bladerunner 2049. This video was shot with 3 Arri Alexa (also used in Bladerunner) their typical scene is shot with all 3 running…one is hand held, one on a track, one on a robotic rig (or on an actuated crane depending on the height needed) like you talked about. Great reaction! Note there is a “making of” video for this MV for some interesting behinds the scenes stuff that you would appreciate.

4:37 You talking about a dedicated team of light techs running this part made me remember something. It’s a bit of a story, so I get it if people don’t want too read it all. Years ago I was at an As I Lay Dying show (yeah, not even the same as Black Pink). This was my third time seeing them and their lighting tech remembered me from the year before because I had just had an ankle surgery. I was on crutches and in a walking boot, but I couldn’t put weight on my foot. He noticed I was struggling to stand (this was 2 hours into the show), so he offered me his bar stool and he stood the rest of the show. When I saw them again the following year, the light tech remembered me. He let me hang with him while he ran the lights for AILD. I was more impressed by how he manually ran the light board than I was watching the band. If I can recover the files on my old hard drive, I’ll post the video I took. It’s one of the most amazing things I’ve watched at a metal show. Dude was head banging and windmilling his hair better than most people at the show…all while being on point with the lighting. Anyways, love your reactions Brother. I showed my son your NF Clouds reaction. He’s a huge NF fan (got me into him too). He had no idea there was a behind the scenes video of Nate walking the road while the cars were driving past him.

Another great review-love the insight.

Thanks Jonathan,! BLACKPINK has other visually stunning music videos, I'd recommend *PINK VENOM* kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nbecgLB1ncfZfac.html and *KILL THIS LOVE* kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aLliZ5Cqla_OY40.html They normally have all of the sets prepared next to each other, then shoot nonstop for three to five days, shooting through the night. The girls said that they usually get about three hours of sleep during those shoots. Some of their videos have location shoots as well. After the shoot it's usually two to three weeks until the video is ready to drop. Here's an episode of their KZfaq series "BLACKPINK 24/365" which covered the shooting of the video, you get a good look at the cameras, sets and lighting that was used. (Turn on subtitles) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i8WCf8Kox9XbmKs.html

Fascinating, every word thank you 👏 K pop visuals blow my mind in the best way! Would love to see more 🎶🎵 Until then... happiness ☮️🌸 be well.

Keep going. Nice to have a pro pointing out technical details.

Man. You are just hitting all my musical alleys lol BP videos are amazing. I promise I won’t mention Jinjer this time lol 🖤

All four of them are sooooo crazily talented but Jisoo’s voice 🫠 Where is the, I’m melting emoji.. I can’t pick one tho, they’re all crazy incredible

been a fan of NF for a long time, recently I've been listening to the "new" falling in reverse... and just a few days ago I started listening to Blackpink so youtube aligned the stars and recommended your videos hah

Thanks for sharing!

A lot of insight ! Subscribed !

I appreciate your informative reaction, I've learned a lot of descriptive words from you. 🥰

hey Jonathan! Your regular here :) Fire content as usual, the reviews give me so much more than the video/song ever could on my own and really delivers a new perpective on the serious thought process delivered in the videos - fascinating to see! Also, NF just dropped a new video - HOPE - wow it's good! some crazy impressive filiming!

Great Reaction Jonathan Hiller! BlackPink also has a Making of How You Like That! A behind the scenes especially Rosé part when she’s sinking into the ground it’s a little mind blowing!🙏🏻

No matter who comes and goes They will be forever iconic BLACKPINK

As a K-pop fan and also a film lover, so refreshing to hear your take on these music videos from a filmmaker standpoint. Entertaining & educational! You should do a reaction to New Jeans “Ditto”!

Love this channel. Fun information

Loved your reactions to my idols BLACKPINK! thank you so much🥺❤ New subscriber here...hoping for more Blackpink contents hehe. THANK YOU AGAIN❤🇵🇭

Love it!!

Great Reaction

Blackpink is the biggest girl group! You should watch the making film behind the scenes of their music videos. It is uploaded to their channel.

Can't wait to see your reaction of the new NF song. The cinematics are incredible

NF Just Released His NEW SONG and since it was about the film making prospect of it this new song of his would be the best one to react to in my opinion. Its also just a really really really good song!

thanks for your amazing reaction... blackpink in your area~~~

There is a making of of this song where you see that the set is completely original built and not green screen

love your professional review. Can't wait to see your react to Lalisa MV and other BP songs too.

You should react to their ‘Lovesick Girls’ MV, it’s very much cinematic.

Just a heads up tomorrow morning at NF he’s releasing a brand new song. It would be a great opportunity to react to his newest track because everyone will be doing reactions to it.

def react to pink venom by blackpink next. so much effort and detail went into it

NF just uploaded a new video "HOPE" And the first thing i thought was: Jonathan is going to love this!

Please React their behind the scenes!!! You will def loved it!! ❤️

All Blackpink videos are high production Thx jonathan for your explanation all respect! Some of the best songs that you can react to: Kill This Love DDU-DU DDU-DU WHISTLE Shut down Pink venom Lisa - money Lalisa Solo

Blackpink 😍😍😍😍

Great reaction...I think you would enjoy one of their new m/v's Pink Venom. I think this is their most expensive

Kpop music videos always get their lights perfect. This is what I notice.

Now BLACKPINK kill this love or whistle 🔥

Waaaaait, you reacted to BlackPink and I didn’t know it 🥺🥹

You have to react to their most viewed music video it change kpop girl group concept girl crush, blackpink are the girl crush concept, the name of the mv is ddu du ddu du

Sir,Thank you very much .

More Blackpink please

Would be cool to hear your opinion on Lay - Lit It also got very high production quality and is just straight up beautiful.

I love Blackpink❤️❤️❤️

You should def watch How You Like That behind the scenes

you are so pro

YG ent uses zero greenscreens. All of their MVs have meanings to it.

Can I suggest for you to react to 4th Impact . They are 4 sisters from The Philippines with amazing harmonies. They auditioned for X Factor Uk in 2015 and that video has more than 188 million views. In Feb 2023 they performed for 55,000 people in Manila. They have many self produced covers and a few original songs on you tube. They will leave you speechless. Maybe be look for "here We Go " ( an original), Bohemian Rhapsody ( self produced music video staying true to the original video) or bridge over troubled water ( again self produced music video).

Thank you ! This is very interesting. Could you explain a bit more about lights ? Kpop MV are truly beautfiful. In terms of editing and sound engineering i was blown away by « Glitch » from Kwon Eun Bi. Probably the best 2022 MV imo. You will receive tons of kpop recommandations but this is something brillant. Thank you again !

You should react to film Kai, they do a lot of cool things in the video.

as a visual person my self I think you will really enjoy watching boombayah by Blackpink Music video! lots of colors and the dance is even better! You will love watching it! I would love to see your opinion on the video!

Next one is their most expensive music video "PINK VENOM" CHECK IT OUT ☺️

잘보고 갑니다~!!!!❤❤❤

Witt Lowry - Pice of Mind 4 and Kill This Love - Blackpink. You'll enjoy both of these and would love to see your reactions to them

Reaction on Pink Venon and Shut down by black pink both are Fantabulous 🔥🔥🔥

I feel like you would enjoy checking out BigBang - Fantastic Baby

Blackpink are so cool

reacts to the DANCE PERFORMANCE of HOW YOU LIKE THAT, with 1.3 billion views it is the dance choreography with the most views in history.

You should check out Blackpink's two most recent videos, which also happen to be their most expensive videos to date, "Pink Venom" and "Shut Down". You'll quickly see why they are the most expensive videos yet.

BLACKPINK's whole MV playlist is the sole winner of *BEST MVs* in kpop The excellence in UNMATCHED.

MORE BLACKPINK REACTION PLEASE!!!

Do Blackpink "Pink Veonom" pls

Jisooo DANCE😌🔥👑

Kill This Love is beautiful. I recommend also checking out this music video.

The Koreans and the Japanese are doing the best design and production right now. Other Kpop - Twice, BTS, Red Velvet and a little history, 2NE1 - the Queens of Kpop. As to the Japanese Band Maid - "Dice" official MV; Babymetal - "Megitsune" filmed in a temple; Lovebites - "Judgement Day".

you should also see Aespa 🔥 They have their own universe

Subbed. Please react to their newer songs Blackpink's "Shotdown" and especially "Pink Venom", it's their most expensive movie video ever.

you should also check out Lay - Lit :) this is also very beautifully done. However, with a bit different approach and cinematography. I think you'll enjoy it

Do more BLACKPINK music video reactions, please. They have many music videos that will blow u away, i think. Try 'Kill This Love', 'Pink Venom', 'Ddu Du Ddu Du'

If you like kpop special effects, you might wanna check "BTS - on (official music video), "BTS - fake love, and "Jin - The Astronaut

Please do Twenty One Pilots in this sequence: Stressed out, car radio, lane boy - that are the most knowed and the "oldest" songs from them, just to know the vibe And them you can see a little sequence of conected videos: Heavydirtysoul Jumpsuit Nico and the niners Levitate (In this order) Then I suggest My blood, Chlorine, the outside, choker, the hype. These two guys are amazing, really. Have a lot of videos and people can help me here if they suggest another one.
