I think its easier and more accurate to to say that seo taiji is THE founder of kpop he didnt just set the standards. He had the first kpop group and after other ppl tried to copy what he and his group did in a more shallow way, he disassociated himself from the kpop industry. Thats why its so special that he reached out to bts and calls them his spiritual successors. both speaking about societal issues in their songs. and having an interest in bts after not rly reaching out to other idol grps. He respected them so much he allowed them to recreate one of his most legendary songs come back home. Idk if u reacted to it yet but like seo taiji is rly a legend in s. Korea in genefal and he is one of the most succesful artists of all time there. before bts broke it a few years ago, he was the best selling korean artist for albums to ever to exist. Bts broke his sales record after decades.

Oh and fun fact, Seo Taiji is just 1 year older than Jungkook's Dad lol

I've been waiting for a metal BTS song since this came out. I know one day my dream will come true.

yes! classroom idea is a criticism of korean school system that is rigid & authoritarian

I am Korean~~^^ I recommend Seo Taiji Symphony. Seo Taiji was a genius who played all the instruments on his album, composed, wrote lyrics, and produced it all by himself.

The sad thing is that 95% or more of BTS Army has never watch Seo taiji and boys 25 time traveller concert ft BTS part 1-8 on KZfaq on BADBOY SOPE Channel.

We call Seotaiji the legend in K-Pop.

I got into BTS in 2017 and this performance with Seo Taiji was the first live performance I ever saw of BTS's. I was familiar with Seo Taiji and the fact that he passed the torch to BTS and asked them to participate in his anniversary concert was what first made me really believe they were destined to be HUGE someday. So proud of them.

You can think of Seo Taiji as BTS 25 years ago. It is the first legend in Korea to try rap on TV. Starting with Seo Taiji, rap has been established in Korean songs. Idols of Korean rappers!!!

It's Rockstar Yoongi!!! Aaaah!!! Okay, now that I have that out of my system, I should watch your reaction.

@Landon Mark The heavy voice is a backing track in this concert. you can see actual backing voice from this concert kzfaq.info/get/bejne/atWjp5poyNCdYok.htmlsi=Ft8yJKsfbg6lr3nw&t=157 His name is HongChan Ahn who was a singer in Heavy Metal Band 'Crash'

The Screaming of song is not Seotaiji's voice. It is the voice of Ahn Heung-Chan, the vocal & bassist of the band Crash, who featured in the original song.

When you start reacting to Epik High and Day6, then what?! I'll lose it! 😭💜💜💜💜💜

seotaiji is kpop king of king

This concert was so cool. And when they did Come back home... Nice show 😁😁

You mentioned that this song has limp bizkit vibe, but in fact, this song was released in 1994 which is 3 year s earlier than limp bizkit's first debut. So limp bizkit has taiji vibe. Lol

Seo Taiji is a 👑

The screamer is neither a member of Bts nor Seotaiji himself. He is a featuring vocalist from a South Korean metal band. But I want to add that Seotaiji started his career as a bassist of Sinawe, a South Korean heavy metal band. He likes to put heavy guitar riffs in his songs.

🤩 The way I've been hoping you'd react to this somedy 🙌 Seo Taiji is pronounced more like Suh-Teh-Jee

The screamer is Ahn Heung-chan who is a vocalist of metal band Crash. He had originally featured in this song but this concert used sampling.

레전드와 레전드의 만남 !!!😊😊😊😊😊

They performed a cover for this song a year or so before this concert, without Seo Taiji. JK can do his tone pretty on point honestly, and only RM and JH raps (RM did that scream on their cover, in his way tho), kinda like the trio Seo Taiji and the Boys 😅😅 Also the choreo goes hard, sadly is just 2 minutes or so...

waa``````````````````역시 서태지는 b(^ㅡㅡㅡㅡ^)d...젊은날의 우상~! 나이 들어서도 좋아할수있는 BTS~!!!

omg you need to watch their cover of this song on KBS Festival 2016, namjoon did that scream part, is soooo cool!!! why they didn't include it in this request? :( it's one of my fave things they have ever done!!

This song was first released in 1994(the 3rd Album), and you can find who's screaming at the following link(1995 Live at Seoul) - a frontman of the heavy metal band 'Crash' kzfaq.info/get/bejne/atWjp5poyNCdYok.html

Ok that was insane!!! What can’t they do!?!

For me it’s the fits. OMG.

Didn't know this exited. Loved it. Thank you.

Landon! You need to watch the 8 part performance of that anniversary concert! It's truly a torch passing.

Just became a Patreon member. Love your work. You brighten my day!! Thank you.

Ha, so funny to see you meet Seo Taiji and BTS 👍😊🤞 I always this that N.O. (O R U L8 2? released in 2013) is completely the next generation of Classroom Idea, and it's clear why Seo TaiJi said his legacy belongs to BST or words to that effect. This was a 25th anniversary celebration concert for his band, and they all belong together. Despite their young ages, BTS were already producing mature critiques of their society and of their generation too. I suspect a lot of Koreans found that presumptuous of them at the time, but they were so not wrong. Seo TaiJi is pronounced Soh TaeJee though. [Tried to think of English/US words that rhyme with Tae I have some but I'm Scottish - best I can do is refer you to TarHyung's TeTe - it's the same word I guess 😊🤞.] In this video he was 42 ( I think they all sleep in vinegar because no way he looks that age!) I think that if anything, in the period between Classroom Idea (1994) and NO (2013), the Korean education system only became more rigid and more competitive : I don't think that has changed. Both commentaries on the society young people have to force themselves into seem to remain sadly necessary, if not more so now, when parents can buy a study BOX to close their child in - desk, chair, no windows, no noise - to study in without distractions. I had the usual prejudice about KPop - that, however skilled and talented the performers are, it is all vacuous and superficial, without any intellectual content or challenge. Then I watched and listened to BTS, and learned about their "mission statement", learned that everything they've done is meticulous and consistent with that, and was hooked, and here to stay. I think there are other bands who want to say something substantial, but I don't know of any who have been as consistent and determined as BTS.

can you post the link to the original video. Also - DKDKTV has a history of KPop in 20 minutes video --- that talks about Seo Taiji and the Boys in that. Worth a watch.

Loved this reaction. I knew of K-Pop and BTS since DNA era. But I started my K-Pop journey with them since Dynamite era. I also started listening to other groups (SHINee, f(x), GFRIEND) and they are great too. But it will be fun to experience those groups (along with other groups) with you. It was a blessing to come across your channel when I just started learning about the storyline. You have become my favourite reactor 💜 (Btw, you should also react to BTS performing "Come Back Home" on stage with Seo Taiji).

I had never seen this. I freaking LOVED it!! If you add some metal music to your channel omg, Landon, may the head banging commence 💁‍♀️ yaaaaaa, let's get it! Usual support comment for Landon and all ARMY 💜 you are important and you are loved, be safe 😊

I just had a flashback to the song Throw Away on RM's 1st mixtape (if you have never reacted to it there is a live version. I love Seotaiji and the song Come Back Home is a favorite of mine !

glad you reacted to this song! OMG I literally remember the lyrics in my heart. This song is embedded in my DNA.

I'm still so early on in the roadmap but OMG the camera and sound glow up?????? This is some professional set up bro

The screqming voice is featured by Ahn, Hong Chan

Wow! Check out that video quality! My only regret is that I can't see the background things which I enjoy😉 but you are looking so "purrdy", Landon! 💜

Have a strong feelings they're just wearing military uniform coats, maybe a lil stylized ones :) Im a btspopper, but reactions to Epik High, The Rose, Song So Hee and Gaho would be really fun to watch :)

V voice omg

I've experienced Kpop since 2010 and it has been a ride! Just like most music, the general quality went up and since a few years I don't have to illegally download anymore :D (partly because of my financial position, but mostly because of the availability on streaming services and before that on google play). Although the view on kpop has changed immensely over the years thanks to BTS, the general view in my country is still quite negative and they ridicule the whole idea of kpop and that I listen to something outside of English. But that is generally the case when young women are fan off things :')

Please react to the rest of the concert

Oooooh I like your new camera setup!

Hell ya!!!!!!! I want more so good!

You've said you'll react to some other groups and I wish You could venture out of the big companies like BigHit/YG/SM/JYP. Please check out The BOYZ and OnlyOneOf, you'll not regret it, they are trully amazing, they bring so much creativity and freshnes in kpop.

Pls Pls Pls react to this V and JK performance with Seotaiji

1994

I suggest checking out DKDKTV's *Kpop History in 20min* video if you want a bit more understanding of the history of kpop (of how it came about).

YO Landon please react to seo taiji 25 time traveller concert ft bts part 1-8[part 1-7 and last part which is part 8] on BADBOY SOPE CHANNEL

For a quick history lesson, you can watch KPOP history in 20 mins - from Seo Taiji to BTS kzfaq.info/get/bejne/obaDZ9d0rbqag3U.html

이 형 리액션 진심이다ㅋㅋㅋ

Didn't you try to learn some Korean? I know romanization is weird but... it's Soh Taji just like in Jin's full name : Kim Seok Jin (sohk) Sorry has just become a pet peeve, please ignore me :)

Yout teeth look amazing. Off topic I know.

Please please react to a Vmin video or BTS cover of 'Fix you' by Coldplay if you haven't already 🥺

BTS did a cover of this song (without Seo Taiji) at the KBS song festival too!: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j9yafdqclr_WhX0.html

recommend U a song to make reaction. 'Regret of the Time'(2024Remaster ver.)-Seotaiji.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nt51gdqUq9ywY6s.html N aespa is going to release Remake ver at 15 JAN. Seo Taiji is a musician who played an important role in K-pop, and it is no exaggeration to say that without him, there would have been no K-pop today. A former heavy metal band bassist has appeared in K-pop for the first time since his debut with idol group Seo Taiji and Boys, and is an artist respected by BTS members and all K-pop singers. so BTS also performed jointly at Seo Taiji's 25th anniversary concert. Then First, I hope you to watch his remaster version and react to the remake of aespa, which will be released on the 15th.
