Jungkook's twerking is everything. It's a healing. Dance therapy :D

the fact that IDOL was the song that got me into BTS.. look at me now, 3 years later...

"I assign my identity to myself." Those are the most intelligent and insightful words I've heard in a hot minute.

This music video/era was SUCH an iconic moment for BTS and it’s my favourite!

the way they just laugh on their haters face with this mv, such an iconic move

Practically all the mv is a response to criticism, the exaggerated use of the green screen is because many haters said that they always used it and that is not true, so they decided to use a lot of green screen. RM using filters at the beginning of the mv, this is because in a live some people told him that the filters did not fit well. Just like V with the glasses. Also the use of Korean culture, as the antis were saying they were "Americanizing" and losing their Korean essence. There are many more details like this throughout the mv with the clear intention of silencing the haters and making it clear that hate does not affect them because they will continue to love themselves and know who they are. (sorry if my english is not good, it's not my native language and i hope i help)

Fun Fact: That plane went from FIRE to IDOL to DYNAMITE and finally landed in BUTTER. Edit: WTH 666 likes and even Jordan commented! I was busy studying and hadn't opened KZfaq for 4 days. Thank you for the likes.

like RM, people also said that Tae did not look good with glasses during a live, and he wore glasses throughout the song!

I’m so angry at myself for not staning them back then, I only got into kpop few months ago and now I’m totally in love

I love how it‘s basically the biggest flex and a big f-bomb to the haters. Rm with his filters, v with his glasses, jin with he finding himself handsome (wich we all should do. I mean find ourselves handsome) and jimin with „he‘s to feminin“. And the green screen and music too. They where told they are „to western“ and „not korean enough“. And what did they do. Put all the greenscreen and traditional elements (bunny in the moon, colors, music, dances etc.) they could into it while still saying: this is also part of us and we are true to ourselves and proud of who we are. And it‘s not too much. It‘s exactly right. And a damn fire song and video

I'm so glad you caught JK twerking in the back bc a lot of ppl miss it 🤣 And yes V's lip bite is 100% ILLEGAL. Always biting his lip and flirting in the camera. He know what he be doing 😏😂🥰 Also I love your dance therapy in every video 😁💜

i love this mv and this song a lot because it’s basically them mocking everyone that says “kpop mvs are too colorful” then they made the mv a rainbow vomit. “kpop songs are too noisy” and they made idol the noisiest! “they are not artists they are idols” they say they don’t care! i love it.

i've teared up twice to this song, at speak yourself and permission to dance on stage in la, it's just crazy seeing how far they've come and how they have stadiums full of people screaming, "you can't stop me lovin' myself" 🥺💜

Believe me or not...he has the best reaction videos...👍👍👍

The fact that you caught jk twerking, gave me nostalgia with whip my hair, anddddddd referenced attack on titan make me love you even more!!! One of my favorite KZfaqrs

Jordannnn you're a Genius!!!!! Really love this breakdown. I've seen idol MV so many times, and only realizing several things when you pointed it out. wow mindblown

Alright, I have a theory about the plane: ***PLEASE READ, IT WILL BE WORTH IT*** It was first seen in Young Forever, then in fire, then in Idol, then in Dynamite, and it finally landed in Butter. They also have the songs "Airplane" and "Airplane pt. 2". Young Forever was the epilouge to the HYYH (The most beautiful moments in life) trilogy. What if in the final scene of Young Forever, (when they're walking on the runway) they never catch the plane (they were seen running after it). All the music videos it was seen in, it was flying above them, or away from them. But in Butter, they are next to the plane, the plane has safely landed, and they are all together. The plane could represent their success and hardships. Since it finally landed, they are safe. "Got army right behind us when we say so" You know what else was right behind them the whole time? The plane.

The supremacy of the video clip “Idol” by BTS si present in all areas : Editing, Visual effects, Choreography, Lirycs, Practical effects...

In a year where BTS was REALLY gaining traction, they released this MV as sort of a parody of how many outsiders view BTS/K-pop MV's and music as a whole: Chaotic, random, overstimulating, colorful etc. Contrasted by the song and lyrics themselves as a "this is what you think we are, then this is what you get" while also saying "idols/artist or whatever you want to call us, we don't care- we're actually just ourselves"

"Nobody warned me!" ... - Literally me, warning you in the comment section two weeks ago! You were not ready. No one is ever ready for IDOL! This is still my favorite comeback track

How did I not notice Jungkook twerking.. oh my god I love that quick cut 😭😭

I was already ARMY when this came out... Watched it over and over again... Watched a million reaction and explanation videos... And yet never thought of or noticed nearly everything you pointed out... Once again, thank you for the mind-blowing explanations and interpretations.

your reactions are always so much fun to watch!😊 you didn't ask, but in case someone is curious about the face scene (4:55) that you admitted to not knowing how it's made: i can't say for sure, because i obviously didn't make it, but based on my 3D knowledge i'd assume that the members were 3D scanned (there's a lack of fine/sharp detail in the models and textures which you tend to get in scans). the scans were then cleaned up and made into functional 3D models of the members by rigging them (rigging is essentially giving the 3d model, which is just a shell, a skeleton that you can animate), which is how they have the animated bts avatars in the "fish tank scene". the scene with many faces that you couldn't explain is then just the heads from those models arranged in a 3D software of choice, where they have tracked the camera movement of the real-life footage and applied those same values to the 3D camera in the software. this lets them export vfx footage in layers that matches the movements of the real-life footage perfectly, and can then compose the VFX layers and real life footage together in a compositing software. sorry if i explained it badly. 😅

IDOL is that song which shows the best side of editing, use of colors, filters and over the top stuff and makes it look so cool .. such a fire work from the director and editors

✨RM from GTA✨ That got me crying and rolling on the floor😭😂

Idol is one of their most famous and colourful music videos, that's so synonymous with BTS

I love the way that you broke down this video. I have watched Idol so many times but today you have pointed out so many things I have missed. 💜💜💜

There's so much going on in this mv and Jordan is here for it😭

Can't believe I never noticed Jungkook's twerking 😭😭😭

Loved it. Great reaction and explanations, and your dancing isn't so bad either. :) Thanks so much!

Lol, you have to be the craziest person on youtube, I love, love you. Your reactions to any song is priceless, I'm learing to appreciate how much hard work goes into a very good mv but also the how & why symbolism is created throughout the video. All this I credit you with plus the great time I have while learning. Want to say thanks for both. Remember that you are loved by the lord & myself. Stay safe & healthy. Akita, 🇺🇸 army p.s. cudos to Ashley, she's a keeper bc I can't see another one putting up with your semi-madness !! Lol

Yaayy! You have no idea how long I've waited for you to react to this masterpiece! I knew you'd acknowledge ALL the facts about this video! That's why it's my fav channel! ❤️ PEOPLE SUBSCRIBE SO THIS MAN CAN GET THE STAND😂✋

Yeah same Jordan...idk to me the people who using a green screen is really genius and also really creative and they can showed their creativity through green screen and editing .... they really good at this 👏

Jin just got deployed to the front lines of North/ South Korea to serve his mandatory 18 months of Military service. All of them are going into the military right got now. Breaks my heart. I've seen them three times in concert, the 4th was canceled due to covid, and they literally sang at Soldier Field in pouring rain 40° weather in Chicago for 3 hours. That's dedication. That's love. And I appreciate what you have to say on video editing; you're a very intelligent man. Thank you for breaking that down. Say a little prayer for our little angel, Jin tonight, though. Going to be shoveling snow and I swear to God if anyone harms a hair on his head, I'm coming for you LOL

When I first saw the Idol MV, I understood the symbolism but it was too crazy stylistically for me. I def have a new appreciation now...especially that JK Easter egg! Can't believe I never saw that before!

He being whipped for the editing is a mood

And thanks to your reacctions, analysis and teachings of your great work as an editor in this regard. We understand and learn more from the effort and hard work to create not only a audiovisual production, but also to create whole world. Thanks Jordan, Greetings from Venezuela 🇻🇪

can you react to pirate???

Watching him made me realise just how much I missed on to. I get to view it from a whole different perspective. So, thankyou Jordan. Also #AdoptStanTheStand

Yass.... beeen waiting for u reation for bts mv.. u pay attention to the their painting and the others details... well u did differently in a very greaaaat way... u always can interprate the mv differently and enjoyable... love it!!!

Idol remains being the most iconic video and the only video BTS used so much green screen

IDOL was the first ever song I listened to and I wanted find more about these guys , now I’m a army for 3 and half years💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

fun fact: BTS used to write letters or draw little doodles for their fans in response to fan mail. this was many years ago, I'm not sure if they're still able to keep up with that. I remember seeing a video of Suga tirelessly writing letters, going without sleep or food, on his birthday for his fans. the doodles in the frames may or may not be call backs to their humble beginnings, doing anything for their fans. the fanbase is still their main focus, no matter how big they get.

Didn't notice JK twerking until you said it 😭

Come on pls react to everglow pirate plssss!!!!!

After watching this reaction....I can never ignore the Jungkook's twerking part whenever I watch idol 😭😂😂

Love this song so much! I'm really happy you got the time to react to this music video and enjoyed every moment of it! I have seen this music video a dozen times and I have never noticed JK twerking!

there’s a video explaining the music video by dkdktv, bts used a lot of their culture on the music video and in some of the lyrics too i think, the guys on the explanation video are korean too so it makes more sense when they explain it. hopefully you can see it so you understand better :)

Once you see Jk twearking, you can't unsee it

fun fact: that Chinese character at 4:16 means "love" and is displayed when they sing "you can't stop me loving myself"

great... but *EVERGLOW - PIRATE* ⚔️🏴☠️🛸

Thank you for this reaction 😊😊. Can you do Dreamcatcher Scream next.

React to pirate by everglow! Their mv is * chefs kiss *

jordan breaking down the MV in Video editor perspective but editing the reaction video... at the same time... sheeeshhh its sooo good.. dance theraphy yeahhh....

Seeing this video made me realise how much I miss this BTS. The BTS that would just throw everything in your face and you are just going crazy over trying to understand the theory, going crazy woaah over music and the choreo and lyrics. I miss BTS' grand performances in award shows. I miss BTS. 😢

Dude, this video was my introduction into kpop, so you just imagine how confused I was

if im right, the art part was to fight back to the haters saying the can't draw:D basically everything's that is in the music video has a meaning behind it just to flip off the haters

i come back to this video several times i week for your "match cuts are my favorite. they are the best" dance 6:40

I am so happy that you finally reacted to this

I wish this was the song that got me into BTS, not only so I don't feel ashamed that I've only been an Army for less than a year, but because this song is amazing. The beat, the MV, and also we can't forget the misheard lyrics 'you can stuff meatloaf in my socks' and 'I love my fans and my kids and my wife' 🤣 This is one of those songs that is all of my playlists 👍. I'll never get tired of it 💜💜

On 11:52 Jimin:I suffer wherever l go 🥺can't kick my leader like a door 😭✌🏻

i appreciate your reactions so much!! there's a lot i didn't catch on at first and it's like *BOOM* in my head

Your reactions always blow my mind. Thank you 💜💜

Please do DUN DUN by everglow

I love your MV breakdown, it's on point!

You are my inspiration! I am so glad to are listening to more kpop and you are going to edit a kpop mv soon, I know it!! Thank you for inspiring me and lots of others everyday! 💜💜

When you show me Jungkook's twerking and mentioned to RM from GTA version will rob the bank. I'm dying lol :D You made my day.

You always put a smile on my face! Love your videosss please stay safe and healthy!!

the fact that I have been waiting for you to react to this from such a long time makes me so happy that u finally reacted to this song

Jimin: “you can’t stop me loving myself” Jordan: *visual overloads and dies*

Idol is one of the first songs that got me into BTS. Loved this reaction! Please react to Face ID by Epik High. The video has a ton of green screen work and I'd love to see you break it down!

This hair cut fits you perfectly, Jordan! Greetings from Brazil.

When u’ve listened to the idol remix too many times n jimin goes “ISSOK HENBOKE” n u start rapping Nicki’s rap lines but they continue w the track: *oh wait*
