Lisa's charisma is indeed topnotch. She's the one who rapped in this song. You can recognize her right away cause of her bangs. It's her trademark.

Omg Jon is reacting to BLACKPINK now?! I never thought!!!! I’m here for this!! I’ve been checking out of K-pop for a while now, but blackpink is one of the groups I always check for. They’re finishing what 2NE1 started. Definitely my favourite k-pop group out right now by miles!

The glove worn by Lisa at one point is a falconer’s glove used with trained falcons. If you look closely during her rap scene, there is actually a live falcon on set with her.

Extraordinary!!!!! Very proud of the girls they conquered you with just 2 songs😂😂😂

Yes the ending party chorus is a theme, it was started by YG entertainment (company BlackPink is signed under) Every Group under YG does it.

Blackpink has been criticized for being formulaic. “Pink Venom” “How you like that” and “Ddu-du Ddu-du” are structured similarly, but they are all comeback flexes. Like most groups, the b sides and the non headline songs are where they stretch their wings (so to speak). “As if it’s your last” “Stay” “playing with fire” or “Lovesick Girls” all show different sides of Blackpink. I’d go back to their debut tracks from 2016, “Whistle” and “Boombayah”. See where they started, where their sound started - they had that swag and presence even then - not quite as much, but they didn’t look like rookies. For real variety, check out “Psycho” by Red Velvet and “Tomboy” by (G)I-DLE - two other girl groups with different approaches, but just as much presence and talent. Lots of great music, engineering, and stunning visual production.

I just discovered Blackpink and Kpop in general only a couple of months ago. I am all in on Blackpink! I can't get enough of them. I'm slowly broadening my scope by listening to other groups. I'm so impressed with the pop music coming out of South Korea. Love it!

Thank you for mentioning Lisa's charisma. Please watch their solos too. ❤️

IT'S LISA THE RAPPER, SWAG QUEEN🔥🔥🔥

You're gonna love "Kill This Love" and "DDU DU DDU DU"

Hi, it was Lisa´s charisma the one you meant, great video! Waiting for your next Blackpink reaction!

Lisas solo stuff.... Awesome as well.

Their video “Lovesick Girl” is a definitely worth your reaction xx

It makes me so proud as a blink that u reacted to them like this. Makes me cry😭❤️

React to Lisa - Lalisa and Lisa - Money. It's incredible.

Recommend: BLACKPINK at Coachella Festival That live performance is really really on fire!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥 You should definitely check it out! ⚠️‼️

Kill this love has to be next!! Great reaction💪🏼

I’ve waited so much for this!!!!!!!

Lisa🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🖤💟

I love your reactions!! Can’t wait to see more 🥳🥳🥳🥳

So happy you discovered them!!!!!!

You’re about to go deep in the rabbit hole lmaoooo Also, I think you’d really like Stray Kids, their track “God’s Menu“ is INSANE, very hiphop

This song, Pink venom, & Kill this love, are CONNECTED. They come together to form a story. 1st kill this love, 2nd How you like that, 3rd Pink Venom. You will se lots of Greek, mythological, Egyptian, & light to dark references. The 3 videos appear similar, because it was done intentionally.

I got into Korean music way back in 2004 and now I just sit and watch all these react vids with my popcorn and man I really enjoy it 😂 Looking forward to more Kpop reacts for sure

The girl rapping was Lisa. She made her solo debut last year with Money and Lalisa. Please check them out!!! She is fire, not only as a rapper but also as a dancer. And for more Blackpink music, check out Kill This Love and Pretty Savage!

love the reaction jon!! found your channel through your lana del rey reactions and it's fun to watch you react to these korean groups now as a korean myself-keep up the great content :)

Spot on! Love ur reaction!

Idk what type of music you like but, “DDU DU DDU DU” is a trap song, “stay” is a soft slow song, “As if its your last” and “lovesick girls” are more poppy songs, and “BOOMBAYAH” and “WHISTLE” are their debut songs

Followed! Can’t wait for the next reactions.

Ahhhhhh, Another one down the rabbit hole! Im so here for the ride with you friend!

Blackpink has some of the best instrumentals fr like crazy production? Swag? Fashion? Rap? THEY HAVE IT ALL

New BLINK subscriber here!! Love your energy and good vibe, awesome reactions!!

Living for these reactions, I also recommend trying out their rookie songs as well.

JD!!! Been watching since Rodeo days and crazy to see how far you’ve come. Blackpink was first K-POP group I listened to as well and with your love for rap, I’d also recommend Stray Kids as a good group to look into. All love for The Prophet!

I watching your video after you react pink venom .love it!!!! Thank you for doing this.

Omg what?! this is shock to me, Jon. hahaha you should see all their MVs from now on 😆 this ain't one of my faves from them but they have a lot of bops.

Yes, Jon!!! Love that you’ve decided to do K-POP. I fell into the rabbit hole 2 years ago. So excited for more. Obviously do BTS but also highly recommend Stray Kids, particularly God’s Menu. It’s a must see.

Thank you for reaction 😍😍😍😍😍😍

My fav BP song is Lovesick Girls. Probably their closest sound to pop rock lol and my fav solo song is Rosé’s Gone.

just THANK YOU. your reactions to them have been the most validation i’ve needed in my life in quite some time 😂🤣😂🤣 blackpink freakin’ slaps, they literally blow my mind.

In this video, there's the Greek mythology theme. In the beginning, Persephone is going down to Hades (buried surrounded with flowers as she sinks downward. The different seasons is when she returns back to earth each year... Lisa's yellow glove is the glove for the bird, seen earlier in her rapping in the side street or village street. Jisoo in red in the dark - is sitting on a spider bone chair (references mythology), etc...

Thunderous, God's Menu, Maniac, Dynamite, Butter, SO MANY GOOD SONGS TO CHECK OUT!!!

Love this

Love ur reaction 👌.

You mentioned SWV. Maaaan that takes me back. I forgot all about them. Bout to check out some old SWV songs now. Love Blackpink.

I love the way you enjoy music

Next MV to react is Duu Du Duu Du .. almost 2 Billion views :) btw, awesome reaction. Keep it up!

Next lalisa mv from blackpink

I’ve been waiting forever for you to watch blackpink I’m so happy you’re getting into their music

You should react to BTS - Mic drop (feat. Desiigner) remix

Brilliant to see the K-pop reactions Jon! Personally think you should react to a group called STRAY KIDS, they're a male group with 8 members and a lot of their music revolves around a hard hitting rap style with brilliant vocals as well. Definitely worth checking out!

Def Kill This Love and DDU-DU-DDU-DU after this. Its a must

Jennie ( the one with black hair and blonde streaks) is actually going to be acting in the weeknds new show ‘The idol’

No trip to Asia is complete without a stop in Japan.....here's 3 all female groups to check out 1) Band-Maid, " Play " live. 2) LoveBites, " A Frozen Serenade, " 3) Nemophila, " Adabana. " ❤️🎙🎸🎹🥁😎👌 Real music played by real musicians !

You should check out their live performances in Coachella and Tokyo Dome.

FINALLY! So glad you’ve gotten to BLACKPINK! Honestly, you could listen to just about anything & you’ll be in “awe”. The order I normally tell people is Boombayah, DDU-DU DDU-DU, Kill This Love, & then the two you just did, if you want to listen to them & hear their progression in music. Obviously, there’s a TON in between, but I’d say those three with the two you’ve listened to are the ones that caught EVERYONE across the world! (Honorable mentions: As If It’s Your Last & Whistle). Also, definitely check out the girls solo M/V & Songs. They’re really good! I’ve personally only heard Jennie‘s & Lisa’s music.

I am from Singapore and my favourite girl group since 2017 is Blackpink. Never waver. My favourite all time singer is Sohyang, also from South Korea. Check out any of her performances from Immortal Song 2. Guaranteed goosebumps and be in awe.

So happy you continuing this BlackPink Rabbit hole ☺️ a lot can be said about the music production, video production and these girls. They are amazing 🤩 excited to see more reactions from ya 🙌💯

The kpop rabbit hole is deep and full of surprises.

Bro I'm a 36 year old who had never heard of Blackpink until September of 2021....i made fun of my gf for a few days for listening to "kpop" cause i swore it couldn't be good....HOLY hell was I wrong. She finally made me watch a couple of BP videos and I pretty much got hooked. Now I know every one of their songs, their names, their personalities, everything. They aren't like any girl group ive ever seen. Hope to see more reactions mate

I AM ENJOYING YOU ENJOYING THIS OMGGGGG

I absolutely agree with everything you said in this video! I am a giant blackpink fan, the only KPOP group I enjoy and have gravitated towards. can't wait to see you react to more!

the last segment.. yes its a blackpink thing and/or actually a yg thing... other groups from this company also have that in their songs

That was absolutely perfect

Lets go Jon! KPOP and Hiphop have so much in common. Glad you're finally getting to it! Great videos :)

It is super cool that you picked up Blackpink one of my all time favourites. I love these girls because they are really international oriented with different nationalities. I started listening to kpop back in 2020 and Blackpink Everglow and Itzy are the groups that I absolutely love. I would really recommend to react to Everglow Dun Dun Dun or Salute. I myself am from the Netherlands so I like the English mixed with Korean because it gives some extra spice to the song.

Definitely enjoyed your reaction. Blackpink is sheesh, they are amazingly talented. I would recommend Boombayah or Whistle. Those are their debut songs.

subscribed brother!!

I literally just watched your Pink Venom reaction and saw you uploaded a new one n i'm not complaingggg

the buildup and the ending is a YG signature for all their artists

Welcome to Blink Jon 🥰

A kpop boy group that is fiiiire that I think you’d like, is Stray Kids :) their most popular songs are Gods Menu, Thunderous, Back Door, Domino, and Cheese 🔥🔥 Would love if you did a reaction video with all of those songs done in one, like a Stray Kids marathon :)

I think he should listen to whistle next because is very diferent from them and high quality too, a whole new mood

Thank for reaction

YESSSSS MOREEEEE👹👹

Lisa is just...wow🔥👑

For a long time, I recoiled from manufactured pop - and make no mistake, kpop in general is a well-oiled machine. However it was Blackpink that made me appreciate that pure talent can still shine in such an environment. I now appreciate a few kpop acts and have a more open mind thanks to these girls and their producer T.

BLACKPINK with 78.6 million subscribers on youtube is officially the artist or singer with the most subscribers on the planet.

Wow jon reacting to Bp !!! I'm stunned hahah

The last part of every (not literally every song but smt like the trademark) YG song (Blackpink's company) is a very different and party-like ending.

Blackpink is all about diversity. Embracing differences and many cultures and creating this synergetic diverse piece of art. BP literally created their own genre. The lyrics are much much much deeper than they seem. Blinks would love to see your reaction the coming album BORNPINK.

You should react to "Lovesick girls", it's different from their other songs

These guys have that "That" They do 🥹🔥

the girl rapping is Lisa, also the main dancer. Check out their Kill , Ice Cream this Love and DDU DDU DDU

always happy to watch your reactions, but im super happy you're enjoying blackpink!!! i've been a kpop fan for years.. and honestly i don't think i'm going anywhere anytime soon 😅😅 would love to see your reaction to whistle and boombayah, blackpinks debut (first) songs ☺️💗

They are contemporary all-around entertainers. It's just dancing or singing. Ultimately, each of them drives several industries.

You would love DDU DU DDU DU , love sick girls , crazy over you , Whistle , kill this love and boombayah for sure

I'M SOOO HAPPY!!!!!

Would like you to react to their older songs to see if their song style has been there from the beginning or they just have it as their signature 🤗

OH MY GODDDDDD YESSSSSSSSSSSS

I am too old for this kind of music.. But blackpink music, charisma, attitude, confidence... It's steals my attention and love.. I adore these young lady..

Hey Jon. just wanted to say I love your reactions I’ve been here since Lana Del Rey and the Weeknd. It makes me so happy to be able to go to this journey with you with your reaction to music that I love. Throughout this time I really gained respect for your music taste as it shows with our similarities and I really appreciate your appreciation. with that being said please react to the albums still over it by Summer Walker and broke with expensive taste by Azealia Banks. PLEASE

YES

I know you listening to the jid album rn. Make sure you listen to 2007 by jid as the outro on the dreamville KZfaq page. That was supposed to be the outro but they couldn't get a sample cleared so don't forget!!

41k views and just 4k likes? Common'!! This reaction was awesome, real. I like it a lot.

you have GOT to react to rest of the BLACKPINK songsssss . They are incredibleeee

Now you gotta do: Kill This Love, Boombayah and Whisle
