thank you for your concern about me supposedly "slapping myself" but i don't understand why everyone is saying that ..i dont remember doing that.

Someone probably scared Jhope while he was recording, he screamed and the producer was like "...keep it"

I appreciate that you slapped yourself five times harder than rm did, solidarity

This was my first BTS comeback song! Namjoon: "Welcome, first time with BTS?" Me: "What?!! how'd you know?"

RM : *slaps himself* You : RM buddy, I won't let you do this alone man *slaps yourself* Me : RM, Joey, I won't let you guys do this alone too *slaps myself* :))))

one of the first songs I listened, lyrics still get me: The media and adults say we don’t have willpower, condemning us like stocks Why are they killing us before we can even try, enemy enemy enemy Why are you hanging your head and accepting it already? energy energy energy Don’t ever give up, you know you not lonely Our dawn is prettier than the day So can I get a little bit of hope yeah Wake your sleeping youth, go So inspiring. I really felt they were talking directly to the young generation you know? WAKE UP, continue working hard and don't ever let anyone push you down. Follow your dreams and never give up! I love them ever since

Wow I've never noticed those screams in the back.. That's why I love you I know that I will find out a bunch of new sounds even though I've listened to the song thousand times

OMG!! "Dope" was my first MV from BTS. I'm sobbing!! You know… “Dope” is supposed to be a little cringy (I mean, that lit chorus tho) ‘cause they’re basically addressing the song to their haters. They're working their asses off while haters were there clubbing. But it also has a message to the youth. Of course, it's BTS we're talking about, right? RM/Namjoon’s verse, for example, was actually explained to international army by DKDKTV channel in their “Explained by a Korean” series. “N posedae” is the generation who has given up on “n” number of things due to economic issues and attends for this decade’s korean generation. So, the “3 posedae” has given up on dating, marriage and giving birth; the “5 posedae” has given up on dating, marriage, giving birth, employment and housing; and the “6 posedae” has given up on dating, marriage, giving birth, employment, housing and human relationships... Basically youth is giving up on their dreams and hope and being pressured by the eldest. So, yeah, they always have something to say to the youth and the society in general. I’m proud. XD Thank you so much for this reaction. I’m glad you enjoyed. I’ve waited for “Dope” reaction for so long and it’s finally here. Gotta love this song! And, omfg, I was so speechless when you slapped your face!!! GEEZ! HDKAJAJAKAKAK Rest and take care of your health, Joey. Love you. 💜

Why is Joey us when RM slapped himself???? And said “help me” like wow relatable 😂🙏🏼

BTS - Silver Spoon 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Joey, you don't seem yourself today. Please take care of yourself! Thank you for this. DOPE is 🔥 just like FIRE, it's one of the songs that made me stan BTS. I really appreciate what you do and I'm glad that you connect with the song on a personal level. Every day is a hustle, don't give up! Keep doing what you love. Love and support from the Philippines.

This reaction is dope!

The song that got me into bts!

this WAS my first introduction to bts! my friend sent me this music video and was like: make sure u turn on the captions! and when rm goes "first time with BTS?" i was like.... YES????

fun fact: namjoon had a prediction that this song would bring in a lot of new fans “Welcome, first time with BTS?”

I'm really glad you liked this song because it's such a hype song but when you read the lyrics they are talking about working hard while others are out clubbing they were working all night to achieve their dreams. It's actually very motivating and inspiring.

*We were just celebrating Dope reaching 400M*

You right. This was the first song I've ever heard from them and my life was never the same again.

This was my first BTS song and I got hooked. I'm so happy you reacted to this song. Joey bruh I spit my water out when you slapped yourself. You're a real army! 🤣🤣🤣 I love your humor!

When the classical musicians from reactsto1thek reacted to this, they said it was a REVERSE SAXOPHONE. Like maybe it was made to sound reverse in the production than when actually played.

when you slap yourself because Joey slapped himself because RM slapped himself

I love the way you do your reactions and always end up learning a bit about production with you! Thanks so much for this and giving BTS reactions a cool new spin

fun fact. this was the song that drew me into BTS. it was my workout jam for nearly a month with me not even knowing whose song it was. and this is what i showed to friends when i wanted to introduce them to BTS. will always love it, like all their other songs.

OMG! Finally!! "Let's talk about the saxophone" I feel you Tysm for this reaction.

Can't wait for you to react to Boy In Luv and No More Dream.

Have you reacted to "no more dream" yet? That was their debut song.. They were so young😂😂😂😂 ... Thank you for the reaction it was dope🔥💜

I watched Dope MV for a million times and haven’t even noticed the scream! I’m shook. That’s why I like watching your reactions. 👏🏼

I DIED WHEN YOU SLAPPED YOURSELF! Man I love watching your videos because I always hear things I hadn’t noticed before and it makes me appreciate the music all the more. But that was comedic gold. Thanks for not leaving RM alone.

react to Begin from Jungkook pleaseeee

FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! see? i knew you'd like it!! but... kind of sad you didn't notice the "i don't give a f*ck" chorus playing in the back right before the 1st and 4th drop. i think not a lot of people have caught that yet haha... but yay!!! i'm happy you finally listened to this!! this was the first song i heard of them, and yeah, it's very impactful!! aaaw maaan... maknae line was so tiny!! but tae still looked like a baby back then!! aaaw

Love it when you pause, tell us what you’re hearing, and then play it again so we can hear it. I always learn so much from your videos!

Actually that saxophone sound is Korea traditional instrument taepyeongso

Omg I never heard the screaming in Dope before that's so creepy

I think you should def react to their somg spinebreaker, its very underrated. But such a good song!!

Your BTS reactions are always the best. Love your analysis on the music and production that many can miss behind the scenes!

This was the first BTS MV I ever saw and it was totally by accident in Summer 2015. I had never listed to Kpop or been a fan of anything like this before. Been ARMY ever since. I don't know what it was about this song but it lifted me up a lot when I really needed it and I'll always be grateful. Thanks for the reaction :))

I love your channel. You always make me notice things I never noticed before. Please keep up the good work!

That was the first mv I ever saw from BTS and I was amazed by them, especially when I saw the translation to RM's first words like HOW DID HE KNOW THAT WAS MY FIRST TIME it scared the sht out of me and I guess that's why I'm an army now ajkshajdjajs By the way, you REALLY should listen to The Truth Untold, a collab with Steve Aoki. Thank me later ;-)

i love your channel bc you always find something that i’ve never noticed or heard before and it’s like i’m listening to the song for the first time all over again

this was the first MV they dropped after their first win on a music show... so while they didn't know that the song was gonna blow up...they did know that this was gonna be the first introduction of a lot of people to them... and it was... thank you for another great reaction!

I still love these videos so much and i'm sad when they end! Great reaction, as always!

BRO I LAUGHED MY ASS OFF FOR A SOLID 5 MINUTES AFTER YOU SLAPPED YOURSELF!!!! HAHAHA & it wasn't just that you did it, but that you were like, "RM, I won't let you go through this alone..." hahahaha omg

This is the song that made me a fan 3+ years ago...its was their lyrics that caught my attention even before I looked for the english lyrics...I could tell they were saying something and I watched this MV over and over and over and finally decided to just try to learn their names so I could name each one and then the rest was history :) Thanks for this reaction!!

I really like your t-shirt's quotation "this isn't k pop this is hip hop" beautiful

I love how this was uploaded the same night DOPE got 400M views. Was that a coincidence? Either way, I loved it! This song was actually my first BTS and YES, I WAS SHOOK

You should react to Instagram by Dean

I could never unheard the girl screaming part... didn't notice that before this reaction

Dope was my first exposure to BTS back in 2015. I'll never forget hearing it being played on TV during an NFL game a year or two later. SO PROUD!!! 😭😭💜💜😍😍

You never fail to do such amazing reaction to BTS 😍

Bro I missed like one video and you’re already at 100K. Good job Joey, congrats! As always, amazing video, you always make me consider aspects I usually wouldn’t.

This really was the song that introduced me to BTS, like you were saying. When RM starts the song asking if it's my first time with BTS, he knew exactly what they were about to do to me! lol

you pointing out all these different sounds really makes me more conscious of the sounds in other songs now, like i take my time and actually listen to whats happening with the sounds in the back.

we love you joey

6:43 Same Joey Same

My guy, my dude, I have listened to this song probably thousands of times over the years, it is one of my all-time favorite tracks... and I hear new sounds when you point them out. This is why you're one of the best BTS reactors out there, no one else makes me notice such new things about old favorites.

thank youuuu for doing this, i always learn a lot about bts' music production and production in general

Ok for the LONGEST time I thought that was a trumpet not a saxophone!! lol Thank you Joey for letting us know!!

This is a great reaction...

This is the first BTS MV that I watched and got me hooked!

Dope is such a good song, one of my favourites. It’s very catchy in my opinion, and well put together. 💜

I really like how you do it like piece by piece :3 I have been learning a lot about music production in this channel. ❤

8:43 *“Namjoon shut up!”*

Yes RM. This was my first BTS song a year and a half ago. No regrets. Thanks for the react Nato!

Yup this is the perfect introduction song I think. BTS is so diverse, but so is this song plus the lyrics makes for a great introduction. It's dance based, does have a little theme in the video, BARS, the vocalists each got a time to shine, a great high note, it's a party song with a great drop, and it's funky and a fusion of a lot of sounds. Plus when people watch this first it's easy to teach names because everyone has a distinct costume. "The Doctor is Jin..." the song is getting older now and it may not be considered their very best, but it's so well rounded I think it makes the perfect first song

I would love if you also went a little more into how the sounds & the rhythm of them contribute to the "feel" of the song. Always been curious about that. Of course you don't have to :)

I always thought that it was a Korean woodwind instrument! It sure sounds like it! I believe at this point you might want to do some research into Korean instruments and get more familiar with them or the sounds they can make or produce! One of my favorite lyrics in this song is "I reject rejection"! 👍😵😉🤔💜❤️😂🐥

I love this channel. Not many people talk about the production. Its cool to hear someones opinion on it that know what they're talking about.

OH IM EXCITED TO HEAR THIS!!!

i love your reactions (':

"what just happened" lmaooo mood

Dope was my first Bts song..it popped up on my KZfaq recommendation back in 2016 n it was the best day..so u r right

I love his reactions. I learn something new about my faves watching this. I will listen to this song differently now.

I really love watching your reaction videos. You're a knowing reactor not just those ones who uses kpop to gain subs and views. They disgust me. You're different ❤

OH GOD I laughed So hard when he slapped himself. Joey pls. 🤣

yay great reaction and analysis as always! this was my first song from bts and your comment that this encompass their overall sound and vibe was great and I agree cuz this was the song that hooked me lol

Look at his jacket "This isn't K-Pop. This is Hip-Hop." 😊

Notification squad!!!

Dope 👏👏

Joey, I'm super psyched for you! Not gonna lie, I found you through your KPop Reacts when you first started them, and that's the main content I consume from you. But I see the hard work you put in. I see a couple of your videos even have over 1 million views now. Hell yeah! It makes me sad to see it not more consistent, because I know how hard you much be working on all your different kinds of videos. You keep everything together and still provide a wide variety of content for many people to enjoy, and I feel like I'm learning a lot of the time. I love it! I'm starting to really notice more in the production side of music, not just the vocals or the main melodies. Tldr; Keep up the great work, Joey. I love the videos, and I can't wait to see what else you react to!

Joey just want to say, make sure you’re still making content you want to and don’t feel lots of pressure to constantly watch bts. Ik how passionate ARMRY are and we really love your reactions 💜

I completely LOST IT WHEN HE SLAPPED HIMSELF XDDDD

Yeah! Tell him Stewie! 😂😂

OOOO MMM GGG how have i never heard these little sounds in this song? I've played it about a million times!

Man this is cool. I learned some production tips while watching this. You picked up on a lot of sounds I missed, and I've watched this video at least 50 times now.

you should listen to danger by BTS.

Of course Bts dope but your voice is DOPE too ☺☺☺

Finally!! Thank you!! One of my fave BTS songs. Old song but still great.

This song was what hooked me to BTS. I remember when i was shook when RM said, welcome, first time with BTS? Lol

6:40 joey, did you really need to do that? KXKZK omg why

react to nct u - the 7th sense pls!

I wasn’t super excited to see your Dope reaction cause, while I love the song, I never considered it to be a masterpiece of production. But then you point out all these things I never noticed and it’s like I’m hearing it again for the first time!! You rock, Joey!!

I love your reactions I'm seeing the music in a different light and I'm learning so much it's so cool ! thank you very much

Can you please react to Jhope’s whole hixtape? It’s amazing and every song is different, it’s really worth it!

Joey, when you have a chance can you please react to FIANCE by MINO. It is a really fresh song. 🔥 Would def like to hear it from your perspective.

thank you for always giving a great reaction to BTS music. BTS is the best! there's nothing like BTS!

Once again Joey I’m proud of you reaching 100k!!! And once again great video!

You smacked yourself a lot harder than RM did 😂

I suggest Go by NCT Dream

You made me realise there are so much in their songs apart from singing n dancing 🤗 thank you so much

This was the song that roped me into KPOP when BTS was just starting to blow up. The catchy unorthodox sounds, intense choreo and insane production value. Should check some of their live performances on youtube if you haven't already. Thanks for your insights as always and congrats on 100k.
