If you want to see a different style of performance on ON, I highly suggest you check out the MAMA performance of it. Gives the full marching band vibes!
Jimin and his sus jacket 🤣🤣 Oh and I love how the background dancers hype them up for the dance break. I think when you don't have an audience to hype you if you can get the energy from others its super helpful for the performance. Though yeah, you can always rely on BTS with talent and performance Jimmy Fallon and James Corden are super cool. They have great respect for BTS and Army too. Bts week on Jimmy Fallon and James Cordon with Carpool Karoke and Flinch and hide and seek.
On February 24th, 2020 I saw this performance on the Jimmy Fallon show, watched BTS for the very first time, and it changed my world. I was overwhelmed at their talent and production value. The choreography was the best I had ever seen of any "boy band" or group. I am an actress, director, choreographer, designer, so I could appreciate to the max what it took to pull off this exceptional performance. Since that day and every day I have watched BTS content. I slowly learned their names and personalities. I found out not only are they all multi-talented, but also amazing, loving human beings. I understand how they started out and how they evolved into their greatness. They are not perfect and are not real idols but extraordinary singers and dancers and rappers and composers and artists and photographers and writers and poets and musicians and comedians and athletes and survivors! The song explains it...bring on the pain...we can and have taken on any and all pain and we have survived. They are fighters. They thought of disbanding but held it together. Most of their major awards have come in the last few years. So think if they had disbanded. We would have been robbed of so much.... I have laughed and cried with them. I pray they can continue to give hope through their music and lyrics. They are amazing! And I pray they grow on their journey toward their truth and light! Praise God. Keep them safe.
I deeply felt the "emotion" of your thoughts got me teary-eyed coz that's how I felt too.🙏💜Thank you for expressing it.🤗I wish and pray the same for them.❤️💜
Jimmy was actually so hyped for the performance and also bc they did it in one of the most popular places of America.. and what’s funny is that BTS didn’t knew that Grand Central was THAT popular so they went without knowing how big this was for others. That’s something it really amazes me about them.. how they perform in those huge places and still be humble about it because they don’t feel what they’re doing is that huge until army or others says 😂💜
I think Jimmy Fallon is one of the few American Entertainer who genuinely appreciates our boys and they love being with him too and appreciate giving them a whole week special on his show which I think has never happened before on any talk show. ARMY appreciate that he brought more awareness of how diverse the music of our boys are to the homes of the American general public.That they have more great songs beyond their first English song ' Dynamite ' which people could enjoy and relate to even without knowing the language.😄
@@pamelaguerra3768 Sorry. I rechecked and they did do a week special. You can check it out and correct me if I am mistaken. Hope you enjoy it if you haven't seen it.💜😊
Here is another amazing thing....they did many many "takes" of this performance. For those of you who dont know what that is.....they filmed/taped it over and over to be able to show the very best performance to the TV viewing audience. So if you dont know ...this is highly complicated choreography. The energy it takes to pull off this production at maximum performance each time is like....them running mini marathons many times in a row. They are exhausted and drained after dancing "full out" for this performance. If you saw the behind the scenes in the California outside performance they actually fell asleep between takes they were so exhausted. Especially filming under the hot sun. Well inside it gets hot too with so many performers and hot production lights. So they are truly trained athletic dancers who excel at their profession! They have been asked if they go out and party after concerts. NO they say. They go home and sleep and rest their bodies for their next performance. Just look at them at the end of this performance...they are exhausted!!! V and RM fall immediately to the floor. And J-Hope bent over....hands on knees. Jimin is huffing and puffing trying to catch his breath. JK holding onto Jimmy to stay standing. Then Jin bends over and grabs his knees. They are very very tired. Yes, they are that good and dedicated to giving their all for their art!!!
When you spoke about cultural responce to america I realized that later when they performed on Jimmy Fallon show -on line- they choose to dance on court of their cultural heritage.
this performance was before Dynamite, so yeah part of it may be for the amortization between cultures but after the Dynamite success when they started BTS Week at Jimmy Fallon show with Idol... the anthem of who they are and their culture... at the Gyeongbokgung Palace in Korea... in modern hanboks all powerful and proud....... that was just 🤭🤭🤭
Thank you for a great reaction! I love how you always go the extra mile to tell us a bit more about the performance, be it the colors, the filming, your thoughts about its significance from a socio-cultural perspective. Thanks so much! 💜
Again I didn't fast forward even once - great job! Jimmy is incredible and totally loves BTS. Same with Corden. One thing: yes they are a global phenomenon like the Beatles. One huge difference: The Beatles were white guys with cute accents. The uphill battle was like a molehill for them and it's like a mountain for BTS. That makes me sad and angry, both as a fan and a person.
Omg, Demian!!! Good for you! I first read it when I was, like, 16 (which was more than a decade ago) and it instantly became one of my favourite books. Still don't know how my 16 y.o. ass understood it in the first place - when I re-read it a couple of years ago it was difficult af, so... Jimmy is amazing, I don't know how people can say he's fake... But, to quote RM, "haters gonna hate". Love your reaction, as always! 💜
i gotta say this appearance on Fallon introduced them to me. Jimmy let them speak in Korean and while they were talking, he had his whole attention turned to whoever is speaking despite not understanding what was being said, im sure theres a translator there but in the moment while they were speaking, he just let them speak in their native language while giving them full attention. because of that their personality shined even more and we get to see them be comfortable. i can say the same about Corden. all it takes is someone to let them be and they will take it from there.
I think Fallon is genuine with BTS. They have a great relationship with James Corden, too. You should watch their Carpool Karaoke, and the hide and seek game with James. It is great. Even if you don’t make it a reaction, you should watch it for your own enjoyment. They had so much fun !
Everything you said about cultural context is exactly why I was so excited about this performance. While I get frustrated at "America" for being so myopic about the music scene. I truly wanted them to see what the hype was about and how talented they are. Thank you as usual. And I actually did notice the colors. Lol.
I love what you said about introducing America to them, this is me. I was flipping channels and land on Jimmy Fallon and saw this performance and was blown away. I had to find out more about them, I went down the rabbit hole and so Happy to discover these Amazing men.
6:21 you are totally right! This is why when you listen to 148 IQ RM talking about the US market. He is kind of defeated especially prior Grammy nomination. It is heartbreaking because he is like a ten years old who didn't get an invite to the birthday party. This is why their reaction is so genuine. His words were I didn't take a photo of the tv screen when the nomination fall. You should watch their behind the scenes of their 2020 Grammy performance. They were like Rock band L.A. Stars dressed. They have embodied so many styles for the sake of the performance I heard Grammy is postponed to March 2021 So I hope Grammy has called him.
The off the shoulder jacket move was first choreographed by Son Seung-duk in "Run". He had All of BTS throw off their jackets off their shoulders. But they were all wearing shirts so no bare arms were showing. Then accidentally it happened to one shoulder during Jimin's performsnce in Blood, Sweat and Tears. So....Jimin did....finally did adopt it as his signature sexy move...dropping the jacket so his bare arm shows. He posed with a dropped shoulder jacket in his still shot for the album "BE" when he was sitting in his own designed room.
I think the main point you can take away from multiple performances of the same song is CONSISTENCY. Yes, they like to change things up so that you never get bored, but the major takeaway is that their singing, rapping and dancing are so incredibly consistent. As a performer, I'm sure you can appreciate how difficult it is to deliver every single time, but they do!
Thanks for the reaction and happy New Year. Also if you have ever been to Grand Central, you know the floor can be slippery. I am amazed BTS did a whole routine there without sliding. They have so much control. I expected ON to be the song that conquered the US and get them a number one, it wasn't, they had to wait for Dynamite but I do believe they promoted it as a possible Number One in the US.
Jimin slid once, going out of shot after a dance break (and it is possible they all slid in some points - it was done in 3 or 4 takes - the clock is the 'proof', maybe they picked shots where there were less sliding.
Great reaction. Always informative and interesting. I think it was RM that said they didn't realize how big of a deal it was to be at grand central Station till they heard and seen how nervous Jimmy Fallon was. I love his rapport with BTS, I feel he's genuine, they feel comfortable with him. Same is true with James Cordon, great vibes.
I love performance! Jimmy Fallon and BTS I love watching them, they have great chemistry together. You should watch their first interview on Jimmy Fallon. My favorite thing is jimin saying " hey Jimmy, I'm Jimin"..haha...Jimmy calls himself Chimmy Fallon sometimes now, because chim chim is one of jimin's nicknames. Also, James Corden is another host that is close friends with BTS now too. You have watch their interview and games they do on both theses shows.
YAAAYYYY we got the smile, ce-dits and dutch angles back in 2021! 😂😂 Great to have you back! Happy New Year to you, too. Hope you enjoyed your time off. Thanx a bunch for this reaction. I never thought about the venue/production as being a cultural set-up for introducing BTS to a bigger audience. But it does make sense. Having sth familiar like Grand Central Station or the flag will make the viewer more comfortable when watching I guess. It's probably more of an unconscious psychological process on the viewer's part.
I'm with you on the Beatles thing. As a Gen-X ARMY, I don't think everyone gets how much of a phenomenon the Beatles were. Yes, BTS are their own band, but it's not belittling them to compare their impact (not them, their cultural impact) with that of the Beatles. World-shaking phenomena, both bands. Anyhoo. Happy new year! I love this performance of ON too, and I love how Jimmy just gets the guys. (ALSO, it's great to hear your pronunciation of Jimin's name with emphasis on the 2nd syllable! So many reactors pronounce it 'JIMMin' 😅)
Happy new year! I hope this year brings you more light then the last. There is a behind the scenes for this it can be found here if you wanted to watch that xx: m.ruclips.net/video/OKy12jb_7EU/видео.html ( i hope you had a good break:)
I believe that this performance was the first live performance they did of “ON”. So i think when we watch it now, it seems like- “it’s amazing, but the same routine they always do”, but at the time, it was the first time we were seeing the choreo for this song which made it feel even more epic! Just a thought, IMO, that even that perspective does change things a tiny but.💜💜💜💜 Plus jimmy fAllon said afterward that they performed 3-4 times in the middle of the night to get it perfect here and when he hugged them afterward he could feel their heart pounding cause they were dancing so hard. I agree that he is really genuine and seems to true enjoy having them on the show.
They were also only given a few hours between shutting the station and when the cleaning clews arrived. I agree about seeing them through a US television le s. We saw a huge amount of people becoming ARMY after SNL, Black Swan on Corden, amd BTS Week on Fallon. Even the Colbert performances were great.
I hope that you have seen the behind the scenes of this one and to know that they filmed it at like three in the morning. And we forget that most of the performances we see are taped they are tired at the end because that is a very long song and they never got a break. If you watch the people run to the back and the squat down and then ran back to the top it’s insane. Watch Jimmy on the subway with them… And you’ll see how much he loves them in the behind the scenes.
I really treasure Jimmy Fallon. He and James Cordon seem to honestly want BTS on their shows, whenever possible. Both have the guys do things so you see the real people. Love this Grand Central Station performance!
ngl I almost didn't watch your first bts reaction because of the frat boy aura, but then i saw the paddington bears, entire set of alagaesia books, and the beauty and the beast poster in the background, and a nerd alarm went off in my head, and I was like..... okaaaaaay. haven't regretted it since xD
I can’t lie, that was a huge reason on why I used that background 😂 a casting director once told me, “You look like the kind of guy I warn my daughter about,” so I try to mitigate that whenever possible 😂 glad you decided to stick around, and you obviously have great taste if you like Paddington and the Inheritance Cycle 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
okay you need to watch the performances of bts week on jimmy fallon!!! they KILLED it!! performing virtually have given them so much more room for creativity and i love that so much! ALSO PLEASE WATCH life goes on and dynamite live on james corden show!! you'll love it SO DAMN MUCH!!
Thank you, it was cool ) I'm almost asleep but I remember I liked many many of your comments, sorry can't tell now how they all sounded (fish eye for example, jimin shoulder alert, orange-teal and so on...) Have a good rest ;)
Happy New Year, Cedric! Youll find that Jimmy has a long-standing bromance with BTS. We dubbed him Chimmy Fallon, which both he and Jimin think is the funniest thing that ever happened. LOL
There’s a video floating around showing them at GC station getting ready to performing makeup. They were so nervous and so impressed by the venue. They knew it was a famous place but it looked so grand (pun intended) to them. They did this at 3 or 4 am so it was empty or people were rerouted somehow. Maybe the video is on Jimmy Fallon’s site. Jimin did skid a few times ever so slightly, although not when he jumped over JK, surprisingly.
Actually, they weren’t too nervous at first because they didn’t knew that GC was that important until they ended the performance and Jimmy was so hyped saying how important it was but yes, they were soo impressed by the station and how it looked without people
They is great behind the scenes footage of this where they talk about how nervous they are and how big the place is, that the ground was slippery, you'll love that.
And so because you mentioned (was in your subs) that they can be that good at any location they wish to perform, you should react to their Jimmy Fallon performances! It's a week-long series of performances. I suggest you react to it in a succession. I bet they swept America off their feet. The high-budget production designs are TOO good!!!! You will definitely love it. What group would bring that much effort in coming up with such a world-class performance even on a late-night show?! Everything they do, they do with passion.
Happy New Year! Hope you had a nice holiday. Excited for this one. They closed down Grand Central in the middle of the night (like around 2am-4am or somewhere around there) to perform this epic piece.
Wow! This is the first time I hear a reactor mentioned the choice of the venue [Grand Central Station] is made on purpose to present BTS to a wider audience specifically the US gp. Thank you for the info. FYI, I've watched the video so many times but this is the first time I noticed that big American flag hanging there, bc you pointed it out 😅 Fallon said he worked for months to prepare for the filming there.
What I don"t understand about someone being prejudice about BTS in America is that the USA has so much diversity of people from other countries. Because of that, I would think that people here would be more accepting.
One would think so, yes, but I'm afraid that people in America have proven more than a few times that diversity can be considered a "bad thing." Hopefully that continues to change, through the efforts of BTS and others.
There's a cool behind the scenes video BangtanTV put out for this performance. Also... they filmed this 4 times in 2-3 hours. I think it was Fallon that said the majority of this was from take 2 and 4. And they 100% sang live all four times.
Happy new year Cedric! Didn’t expect a video today! ON dance break is up there with a few of their iconic ones, mic drop dance break and one they did for their earlier concert I don’t remember to which song I’ll have to look it up 😅. And I’m gonna suggest the same thing a few have mentioned, the BTS x Jimmy fallon week performances! 💜
Aaaand I subbed. I love that you catch so many details in everything you watch, it makes me wanna have a discussion with you about everything over beers - at a social distancing-distance. BUT. I think you're deep enough into the rabbit hole of BTS and recognizing faces, voices and personalities -- please add the James Corden's Carpool Karaoke to your watchlist? It's fun, hilarious, the boys are having fun, J-Hope be jamming and everyone is nice-lowkey flexing vocalskills in a car.
Thanks for subbing and so so glad you enjoyed 🙌🏼 someday we’ll be allowed outside again and many a discussion shall be had! I’d love to do Carpool Karaoke but I know there’s a song or two I haven’t heard yet, so I’ll put it on the future list - someday for sure!
Yey, you're back!! I think you'll enjoy watching their performances on Jimmy Fallon when they had the BTS Week, it's literally 1 week of bts with different performances 👏🏻 Happy New Year
The choreographer is a woman from California, Sienna Lakau. She moved to CA from Hawaii when she was 16. She was 19 at the time she did this choreography..amazing. The dancers dancing with BTS are her dance troupe, The Lab. They won "World of Dance". This is the premiere debut performance of "ON". The song was released February 20, 2020. If you look closely she is dancing front and center with her dance group in this performance. Oh you said.. they have the dancers.. and Also, you said...I was hoping they do the dance break. Again, This is the original choreography and first performance. Later they sometimes didn't do the dance break. Also, did you know Suga wrote the music for the dance break? He really IS a genius. Siena Lalau also danced front and center on the Kinetic Manifesto version filmed outside in California at that dam. And FYI...she also did the choreography for "Dionysus"...another brilliant choreography!
I recommend watching their dance practices, especially for their old songs... It's very satisfying to hear them landing in sync after their jumps 😍👍🏻 you'll see what l mean once you watch it
Happy New Year, nice to see you back freshly shaved LOL. I just became a Patreon so I know you've been NOT resting during the holiday. Thank you for taking your precious time to post for us💜
I heard they did 3 complete performances and decided take 2 was the best. I'm astounded that all those people went through the entire thing three times to get the best tape they could. PS Your commentary, as always, was a pleasure. I hope film students along with all the others that go along with the entertainment industry learn and listen from you.
Yeaaaaaayyy I like your point a view.. It does make me understand better in your own ways to explain sharing your thoughts.. Btw bts is really good performance and they are better live as we can see their talent through their live performance.. HAPPY NEW YEAR 2021!!!!
BTS love Jimmy Fallon and James Corden. They tend to go big for both of them when it comes to giving content. BTS have always been very respectful to those that respect them, and thus go above and beyond to show how much they love them. Jimmy and James have both given BTS huge end of year awards at the Mnet Asian Music Awards.
Ein frohes neues Jahr wünsche ich dir Cedric, viel Glück und natürlich noch mehr Erfolg mit deinem Channel aber vor allem Gesundheit 😉 OK, german lesson ending! Great reaction like always, normally don't need to repeat this. I wish you much success in this year! FIGHTING! 💜
Very proud to report that I understood your comment with no help from a translator or anything ;) thanks for the reminder - I need to get back on my German lessons. Thanks for watching!!!
Fun piece of information for this choreo if you notice before Jk's solo part the members are all standing in age order before they get to Jungkook who's the youngest member! something I noticed long ago that I think is soo cool!
Happy New Year! I'm Happy to be in this journey with you. Yes Jimmy Fallon is genuine. I like watching his shows. He'll Make you laugh. He has a great friendship with BTS. As well as James Corden. They are So Amazing, Talented, and Caring BTS! Thanks for Reacting to this video.
Hello you're looking great,👌2021 for a start is treating you well.😁 it's so nice to watch your reaction video on this, and yeah I agree with you. Thank you.🙏 Wishing you all the best this 2021🤞💜
hello, 60 yr old Army here, I am new to your channel. I've enjoyed it. I actually started with a Dimash reaction. Thought I would check out your involvement with BTS. I noticed you reacted to part of Suga's Trilogy, Daechwita, Haegeum, but didn't see Amygdala. I recommend reacting to that one. Suga is coming to theaters in April in case you haven't heard with the finale of his concert tour. He released a new album in April 2023 not sure if you have reacted to his other songs, ( Feat with Halsey, MAX, Psy That That feat Suga, )plus others. I saw him live and already have my ticket. Also, would love to see reactions to the other members solo work. I noticed some of Jimin, Jin ( hoping he releases more after this June), J Hope and you probably have RM solo. RM should also be releases another album I would think soon. J Hope at the end of the week is releases Hope on the Street, ( video of his life with dance, where it started etc..) I loved finding this little gem, On in Grand Central Station. Great that you reacted to it, you can't find it any more. At least, that was what I was told, and it is one of my favorite. I have searched numerous times myself. I also noticed things like BTS webtoon, I have not seen yet, so I will be checking those out. Again, enjoyed your reaction. Blessings
I was just thinking "Oh he shaved!" when you mentioned about your beard haha great timing. They shot this at around 2-4am and they shot it few times to get the perfect shot. I will never ever forget Jimmy Fallon said after they're done, he went to hug the guys and when he hugged JK, he can feel JK's heart beating through his back. That's how exhausting this whole thing was.
I've only read Demian once, when I was 14, it's a good book!! Not my favorite from that author, but it definitely made me think a lot. The subject of Abraxas was probably the most intriguing for me at the time (I was questioning my faith a lot back then), even though there's no a lot more to the story. I don't know, this idea of "the good God" and "the devil" being one being/the same entity, just like humans have both good and bad within them, and embracing everything you are, even your darkness... That was fascinating to me, despite how much of a moralistic goody two shoes teen I was. I guess I was asking myself a lot of the same questions Demian was wondering about, at that moment.
The behind the scenes of this video...ruclips.net/video/OKy12jb_7EU/видео.html .... it's very interesting how BTS feel about performing at Grand Central. Glad to see you ;) Borahae
Awesome choice. We get to punch your face? I don't usually suggest repeating the same song, different version, but there's one worth watching that I (maybe) like more than this. It's the On dance practice for the 2020 MAMA's. It should have been a half-time show. The practice shows more than the actual performance...more Hobi anyway and that's what matters.
Hey, happy new year! Do you think that next time you have to do a lot of blurring ect you could put the unedited version on patron? So that if it bugs me I could watch there?
I could! My issue is that they're copyrighting it for a reason, and as a filmmaker - I don't like the feeling of "going around them" like that, if that makes sense. Maybe I'm just overthinking it, though.
@@CedricGegel1 no, you make a good point and if that's what your conscience is telling you than you should do that. My only thing is, that you know the people watching you react have already seen that content and you are not claiming that the content is yours. You are not taking views from them or anything idk but go with your conscience for sure!
So glad that you came to react BTS "O N" with Jimmy Falon and you fell in love with our Boy BTS. Many things that you have to see/watch them - like BTS Week on Jimmy F also with James Corden and so on. Am waiting!
Immediately checks the comment section for the link to vote for the name. 💜💜💜💜 Appreciates how little time it has taken Cedric to realize that jackets on Jimin "are always suspicious." 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Halfway through your reaction I forgot you flipped the video and was confused about Jimin's position. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Happy New Year!

Jimin and his sus jacket 🤣🤣
Oh and I love how the background dancers hype them up for the dance break. I think when you don't have an audience to hype you if you can get the energy from others its super helpful for the performance. Though yeah, you can always rely on BTS with talent and performance
Jimmy Fallon and James Corden are super cool. They have great respect for BTS and Army too.
Bts week on Jimmy Fallon and James Cordon with Carpool Karoke and Flinch and hide and seek.

I understand how they started out and how they evolved into their greatness. They are not perfect and are not real idols but extraordinary singers and dancers and rappers and composers and artists and photographers and writers and poets and musicians and comedians and athletes and survivors! The song explains it...bring on the pain...we can and have taken on any and all pain and we have survived. They are fighters. They thought of disbanding but held it together. Most of their major awards have come in the last few years. So think if they had disbanded. We would have been robbed of so much.... I have laughed and cried with them. I pray they can continue to give hope through their music and lyrics. They are amazing! And I pray they grow on their journey toward their truth and light! Praise God. Keep them safe.

@@almostheavenwestvirginia so true!😂😂
I think Jimmy Fallon is one of the few American Entertainer who genuinely appreciates our boys and they love being with him too and appreciate giving them a whole week special on his show which I think has never happened before on any talk show. ARMY appreciate that he brought more awareness of how diverse the music of our boys are to the homes of the American general public.That they have more great songs beyond their first English song ' Dynamite ' which people could enjoy and relate to even without knowing the language.😄
wasn't the week special with james corden?
@@pamelaguerra3768 Sorry. I rechecked and they did do a week special. You can check it out and correct me if I am mistaken. Hope you enjoy it if you haven't seen it.💜😊

Goosebumps..!
this performance was before Dynamite, so yeah part of it may be for the amortization between cultures
but after the Dynamite success when they started BTS Week at Jimmy Fallon show with Idol... the anthem of who they are and their culture... at the Gyeongbokgung Palace in Korea... in modern hanboks all powerful and proud....... that was just 🤭🤭🤭
oh! i can't wait for you to react to Jimmy Fallon BTS Week, it was SOOOO GOOD
it had Idol, HOME, Black Swan, Mikrokosmos and Dynamite
yeeeeeees!!! (If you can't tell, I'm excited for that too).
Yesss!!!
Yesss!!! I'm waiting for Jimmy Fallon BTS Week
I remember I was soooo shocked to see Idol at the first day of Fallon week!
Yes and Please 🙏🏽
Thank you for a great reaction! I love how you always go the extra mile to tell us a bit more about the performance, be it the colors, the filming, your thoughts about its significance from a socio-cultural perspective. Thanks so much! 💜
Again I didn't fast forward even once - great job! Jimmy is incredible and totally loves BTS. Same with Corden. One thing: yes they are a global phenomenon like the Beatles. One huge difference: The Beatles were white guys with cute accents. The uphill battle was like a molehill for them and it's like a mountain for BTS. That makes me sad and angry, both as a fan and a person.
Oof. Great distinction and worth pointing out. Excellent point.
Omg, Demian!!! Good for you! I first read it when I was, like, 16 (which was more than a decade ago) and it instantly became one of my favourite books. Still don't know how my 16 y.o. ass understood it in the first place - when I re-read it a couple of years ago it was difficult af, so...
Jimmy is amazing, I don't know how people can say he's fake... But, to quote RM, "haters gonna hate".
Love your reaction, as always! 💜
Kudos to you--I just finished it and found it a real slog, but I do appreciate it making me understand the BS&T MV more fully!
i gotta say this appearance on Fallon introduced them to me. Jimmy let them speak in Korean and while they were talking, he had his whole attention turned to whoever is speaking despite not understanding what was being said, im sure theres a translator there but in the moment while they were speaking, he just let them speak in their native language while giving them full attention. because of that their personality shined even more and we get to see them be comfortable. i can say the same about Corden. all it takes is someone to let them be and they will take it from there.
"I'm watching Jimin's jacket very carefully."
That's me every time he wears a jacket which is like 98% of the time. 👀👀
Jimin learned this move from their choreographer who had all of BTS throw their jackets off of their shoulder. I think the song was "Run".
I think Fallon is genuine with BTS. They have a great relationship with James Corden, too. You should watch their Carpool Karaoke, and the hide and seek game with James. It is great. Even if you don’t make it a reaction, you should watch it for your own enjoyment. They had so much fun !
Everything you said about cultural context is exactly why I was so excited about this performance. While I get frustrated at "America" for being so myopic about the music scene. I truly wanted them to see what the hype was about and how talented they are. Thank you as usual. And I actually did notice the colors. Lol.
I love what you said about introducing America to them, this is me. I was flipping channels and land on Jimmy Fallon and saw this performance and was blown away. I had to find out more about them, I went down the rabbit hole and so Happy to discover these Amazing men.
6:21 you are totally right! This is why when you listen to 148 IQ RM talking about the US market. He is kind of defeated especially prior Grammy nomination.
It is heartbreaking because he is like a ten years old who didn't get an invite to the birthday party.
This is why their reaction is so genuine. His words were I didn't take a photo of the tv screen when the nomination fall.
You should watch their behind the scenes of their 2020 Grammy performance.
They were like Rock band L.A. Stars dressed.
They have embodied so many styles for the sake of the performance
I heard Grammy is postponed to March 2021
So I hope Grammy has called him.
The off the shoulder jacket move was first choreographed by Son Seung-duk in "Run". He had All of BTS throw off their jackets off their shoulders. But they were all wearing shirts so no bare arms were showing. Then accidentally it happened to one shoulder during Jimin's performsnce in Blood, Sweat and Tears. So....Jimin did....finally did adopt it as his signature sexy move...dropping the jacket so his bare arm shows. He posed with a dropped shoulder jacket in his still shot for the album "BE" when he was sitting in his own designed room.
as Jin said, Jimin dresses in order to undress 😅
That's what I remembered too when I saw this😂
I think the main point you can take away from multiple performances of the same song is CONSISTENCY. Yes, they like to change things up so that you never get bored, but the major takeaway is that their singing, rapping and dancing are so incredibly consistent. As a performer, I'm sure you can appreciate how difficult it is to deliver every single time, but they do!
MMA 2019 🔥🔥🔥
Yes🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
MMA 2018 is also🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for the reaction and happy New Year. Also if you have ever been to Grand Central, you know the floor can be slippery. I am amazed BTS did a whole routine there without sliding. They have so much control. I expected ON to be the song that conquered the US and get them a number one, it wasn't, they had to wait for Dynamite but I do believe they promoted it as a possible Number One in the US.
Jimin slid once, going out of shot after a dance break (and it is possible they all slid in some points - it was done in 3 or 4 takes - the clock is the 'proof', maybe they picked shots where there were less sliding.
Great reaction. Always informative and interesting. I think it was RM that said they didn't realize how big of a deal it was to be at grand central Station till they heard and seen how nervous Jimmy Fallon was. I love his rapport with BTS, I feel he's genuine, they feel comfortable with him. Same is true with James Cordon, great vibes.
I love performance! Jimmy Fallon and BTS I love watching them, they have great chemistry together. You should watch their first interview on Jimmy Fallon. My favorite thing is jimin saying " hey Jimmy, I'm Jimin"..haha...Jimmy calls himself Chimmy Fallon sometimes now, because chim chim is one of jimin's nicknames. Also, James Corden is another host that is close friends with BTS now too. You have watch their interview and games they do on both theses shows.
YAAAYYYY we got the smile, ce-dits and dutch angles back in 2021! 😂😂 Great to have you back! Happy New Year to you, too. Hope you enjoyed your time off.
Thanx a bunch for this reaction. I never thought about the venue/production as being a cultural set-up for introducing BTS to a bigger audience. But it does make sense. Having sth familiar like Grand Central Station or the flag will make the viewer more comfortable when watching I guess. It's probably more of an unconscious psychological process on the viewer's part.
I'm with you on the Beatles thing. As a Gen-X ARMY, I don't think everyone gets how much of a phenomenon the Beatles were. Yes, BTS are their own band, but it's not belittling them to compare their impact (not them, their cultural impact) with that of the Beatles. World-shaking phenomena, both bands. Anyhoo. Happy new year! I love this performance of ON too, and I love how Jimmy just gets the guys. (ALSO, it's great to hear your pronunciation of Jimin's name with emphasis on the 2nd syllable! So many reactors pronounce it 'JIMMin' 😅)
Happy new year! I hope this year brings you more light then the last. There is a behind the scenes for this it can be found here if you wanted to watch that xx: m.ruclips.net/video/OKy12jb_7EU/видео.html ( i hope you had a good break:)
I believe that this performance was the first live performance they did of “ON”. So i think when we watch it now, it seems like- “it’s amazing, but the same routine they always do”, but at the time, it was the first time we were seeing the choreo for this song which made it feel even more epic! Just a thought, IMO, that even that perspective does change things a tiny but.💜💜💜💜
Plus jimmy fAllon said afterward that they performed 3-4 times in the middle of the night to get it perfect here and when he hugged them afterward he could feel their heart pounding cause they were dancing so hard. I agree that he is really genuine and seems to true enjoy having them on the show.
Love your reaction and explanation of film industry
Thank you for your reaction. I am learning a lot from your comment i.e. dutch (this spelling?) angle, orange n teal, etc.
They were also only given a few hours between shutting the station and when the cleaning clews arrived. I agree about seeing them through a US television le s. We saw a huge amount of people becoming ARMY after SNL, Black Swan on Corden, amd BTS Week on Fallon. Even the Colbert performances were great.
Jimmy loves the boys! He can’t say enough about how wonderful they are.
I hope that you have seen the behind the scenes of this one and to know that they filmed it at like three in the morning. And we forget that most of the performances we see are taped they are tired at the end because that is a very long song and they never got a break. If you watch the people run to the back and the squat down and then ran back to the top it’s insane. Watch Jimmy on the subway with them… And you’ll see how much he loves them in the behind the scenes.
I really treasure Jimmy Fallon. He and James Cordon seem to honestly want BTS on their shows, whenever possible. Both have the guys do things so you see the real people. Love this Grand Central Station performance!
welcome back Cedric. hope you had a wonderful holiday and got some rest
ngl I almost didn't watch your first bts reaction because of the frat boy aura, but then i saw the paddington bears, entire set of alagaesia books, and the beauty and the beast poster in the background, and a nerd alarm went off in my head, and I was like..... okaaaaaay. haven't regretted it since xD
I can’t lie, that was a huge reason on why I used that background 😂 a casting director once told me, “You look like the kind of guy I warn my daughter about,” so I try to mitigate that whenever possible 😂 glad you decided to stick around, and you obviously have great taste if you like Paddington and the Inheritance Cycle 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
@@CedricGegel1 xD that's funny in a kind of sad way 😂 and I'm glad I stuck around too! Thank you for the reactions and the musical videos :D 💜💜💜
okay you need to watch the performances of bts week on jimmy fallon!!! they KILLED it!! performing virtually have given them so much more room for creativity and i love that so much!
ALSO PLEASE WATCH life goes on and dynamite live on james corden show!! you'll love it SO DAMN MUCH!!
Yes james cordon's was THE BEST✨
Good point! Thank you for sharing your thought, Cedric.
Thank you, it was cool )
I'm almost asleep but I remember I liked many many of your comments, sorry can't tell now how they all sounded (fish eye for example, jimin shoulder alert, orange-teal and so on...) Have a good rest ;)
Happy New Year, Cedric! Youll find that Jimmy has a long-standing bromance with BTS. We dubbed him Chimmy Fallon, which both he and Jimin think is the funniest thing that ever happened. LOL
There’s a video floating around showing them at GC station getting ready to performing makeup. They were so nervous and so impressed by the venue. They knew it was a famous place but it looked so grand (pun intended) to them. They did this at 3 or 4 am so it was empty or people were rerouted somehow. Maybe the video is on Jimmy Fallon’s site. Jimin did skid a few times ever so slightly, although not when he jumped over JK, surprisingly.
It's on their RUclips channel Bangtantv
Actually, they weren’t too nervous at first because they didn’t knew that GC was that important until they ended the performance and Jimmy was so hyped saying how important it was but yes, they were soo impressed by the station and how it looked without people
They is great behind the scenes footage of this where they talk about how nervous they are and how big the place is, that the ground was slippery, you'll love that.
Oh yes, as a performer I think you would be very interested in that!
Yes, just in case the link is here. ruclips.net/video/OKy12jb_7EU/видео.html
And so because you mentioned (was in your subs) that they can be that good at any location they wish to perform, you should react to their Jimmy Fallon performances! It's a week-long series of performances. I suggest you react to it in a succession. I bet they swept America off their feet. The high-budget production designs are TOO good!!!! You will definitely love it. What group would bring that much effort in coming up with such a world-class performance even on a late-night show?! Everything they do, they do with passion.
Happy New Year! Hope you had a nice holiday. Excited for this one. They closed down Grand Central in the middle of the night (like around 2am-4am or somewhere around there) to perform this epic piece.
Hi Cedric... as usual I really enjoy your reaction to another BTS performance. Looking forward to more from you and your“ experience “ with Damien
Wow! This is the first time I hear a reactor mentioned the choice of the venue [Grand Central Station] is made on purpose to present BTS to a wider audience specifically the US gp. Thank you for the info.
FYI, I've watched the video so many times but this is the first time I noticed that big American flag hanging there, bc you pointed it out 😅
Fallon said he worked for months to prepare for the filming there.
I believe it! The logistics must have been a nightmare, but it was so worth it. Thank you for watching!!!
What I don"t understand about someone being prejudice about BTS in America is that the USA has so much diversity of people from other countries. Because of that, I would think that people here would be more accepting.
One would think so, yes, but I'm afraid that people in America have proven more than a few times that diversity can be considered a "bad thing." Hopefully that continues to change, through the efforts of BTS and others.
I'd love to hear your production take on their Home performance for Jimmy Fallon's BTS week.
There's a cool behind the scenes video BangtanTV put out for this performance. Also... they filmed this 4 times in 2-3 hours. I think it was Fallon that said the majority of this was from take 2 and 4. And they 100% sang live all four times.
Happy new year Cedric! Didn’t expect a video today! ON dance break is up there with a few of their iconic ones, mic drop dance break and one they did for their earlier concert I don’t remember to which song I’ll have to look it up 😅. And I’m gonna suggest the same thing a few have mentioned, the BTS x Jimmy fallon week performances! 💜
Same! Fallon week was amazing
At the end of each video they should announce Jimin's shoulder has left the building (along with our hearts). LOL
Another 'good one' Christine..!! And Happy New Year Kentucky Girl..!!!💜
@@cindythomas108 Happy New Year to you also.
Aaaand I subbed. I love that you catch so many details in everything you watch, it makes me wanna have a discussion with you about everything over beers - at a social distancing-distance.
BUT. I think you're deep enough into the rabbit hole of BTS and recognizing faces, voices and personalities -- please add the James Corden's Carpool Karaoke to your watchlist? It's fun, hilarious, the boys are having fun, J-Hope be jamming and everyone is nice-lowkey flexing vocalskills in a car.
Thanks for subbing and so so glad you enjoyed 🙌🏼 someday we’ll be allowed outside again and many a discussion shall be had! I’d love to do Carpool Karaoke but I know there’s a song or two I haven’t heard yet, so I’ll put it on the future list - someday for sure!
Happy new year!!!! 새해 복 많이 받으세요 from S. Korea
Yey, you're back!! I think you'll enjoy watching their performances on Jimmy Fallon when they had the BTS Week, it's literally 1 week of bts with different performances 👏🏻 Happy New Year
Happy New Year!! Thanks for reacting to this performance
The choreographer is a woman from California, Sienna Lakau. She moved to CA from Hawaii when she was 16. She was 19 at the time she did this choreography..amazing.
The dancers dancing with BTS are her dance troupe, The Lab. They won "World of Dance". This is the premiere debut performance of "ON". The song was released February 20, 2020. If you look closely she is dancing front and center with her dance group in this performance. Oh you said.. they have the dancers.. and Also, you said...I was hoping they do the dance break. Again, This is the original choreography and first performance. Later they sometimes didn't do the dance break. Also, did you know Suga wrote the music for the dance break? He really IS a genius. Siena Lalau also danced front and center on the Kinetic Manifesto version filmed outside in California at that dam. And FYI...she also did the choreography for "Dionysus"...another brilliant choreography!
My favorite RM moment is in the on mv. I’m buying RM as a Noah figure. 💜
I recommend watching their dance practices, especially for their old songs... It's very satisfying to hear them landing in sync after their jumps 😍👍🏻 you'll see what l mean once you watch it
Happy New Year, nice to see you back freshly shaved LOL. I just became a Patreon so I know you've been NOT resting during the holiday. Thank you for taking your precious time to post for us💜
Happy new year! Glad you know what's coming. To my credit - I did take a few days off ;)
Cedrinary.
I heard they did 3 complete performances and decided take 2 was the best. I'm astounded that all those people went through the entire thing three times to get the best tape they could.
PS Your commentary, as always, was a pleasure. I hope film students along with all the others that go along with the entertainment industry learn and listen from you.
Yeaaaaaayyy
I like your point a view.. It does make me understand better in your own ways to explain sharing your thoughts..
Btw bts is really good performance and they are better live as we can see their talent through their live performance..
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2021!!!!
BTS love Jimmy Fallon and James Corden. They tend to go big for both of them when it comes to giving content. BTS have always been very respectful to those that respect them, and thus go above and beyond to show how much they love them. Jimmy and James have both given BTS huge end of year awards at the Mnet Asian Music Awards.
One word bout BTS , PHENOMENAL 💜
I love your reactions because they are genuine and your analysis/commentary is always on point. Thanks from an ARMY :)
Happy new year cedric 😁💜 and thanks for this Reaktion
I little late but I like your reactions so much! I'm watching them all. Please, don't be so hard on yourself. You are great. Thank you.
_Jimin's shoulder has entered the chat._
LOL WHY DIDN’T I THINK OF THAT CAPTION
Thank you...
Ein frohes neues Jahr wünsche ich dir Cedric, viel Glück und natürlich noch mehr Erfolg mit deinem Channel aber vor allem Gesundheit 😉 OK, german lesson ending! Great reaction like always, normally don't need to repeat this. I wish you much success in this year! FIGHTING! 💜
Very proud to report that I understood your comment with no help from a translator or anything ;) thanks for the reminder - I need to get back on my German lessons. Thanks for watching!!!
Someone already said fav. Reactor of 2020, well imma put this out there:
✨Favourite reactor of 2021✨
Fun piece of information for this choreo if you notice before Jk's solo part the members are all standing in age order before they get to Jungkook who's the youngest member! something I noticed long ago that I think is soo cool!
I really love your reaction. Thank you for sharing filmmaker's view !
Yay, first Cedric breakdown of 2021!!! Thank you for this reaction!!
Oh, I anticipate having many breakdowns this year 😂 thanks for watching!
pss, check the description below the video, there's a little mistake 🤫😊
Oh thanks! It has vanished mysteriously :)
but it is cute - viva Agust D )
@@CedricGegel1 nobody ever seen it 👀
Happy New Year! I'm Happy to be in this journey with you. Yes Jimmy Fallon is genuine. I like watching his shows. He'll Make you laugh. He has a great friendship with BTS. As well as James Corden. They are So Amazing, Talented, and Caring BTS! Thanks for Reacting to this video.
Hello you're looking great,👌2021 for a start is treating you well.😁 it's so nice to watch your reaction video on this, and yeah I agree with you. Thank you.🙏 Wishing you all the best this 2021🤞💜
hello, 60 yr old Army here, I am new to your channel. I've enjoyed it. I actually started with a Dimash reaction. Thought I would check out your involvement with BTS.
I noticed you reacted to part of Suga's Trilogy, Daechwita, Haegeum, but didn't see Amygdala. I recommend reacting to that one. Suga is coming to theaters in April in case you haven't heard with the finale of his concert tour. He released a new album in April 2023 not sure if you have reacted to his other songs, ( Feat with Halsey, MAX, Psy That That feat Suga, )plus others. I saw him live and already have my ticket.
Also, would love to see reactions to the other members solo work. I noticed some of Jimin, Jin ( hoping he releases more after this June), J Hope and you probably have RM solo. RM should also be releases another album I would think soon. J Hope at the end of the week is releases Hope on the Street, ( video of his life with dance, where it started etc..)
I loved finding this little gem, On in Grand Central Station. Great that you reacted to it, you can't find it any more. At least, that was what I was told, and it is one of my favorite. I have searched numerous times myself. I also noticed things like BTS webtoon, I have not seen yet, so I will be checking those out. Again, enjoyed your reaction. Blessings
lmao the vid be like... what I see when I take off my glasses
You aren’t wrong 😂
* rewatching * ur videos after the grammy snub incident 😔💜💗💞😊
Jimin shoulder alert 😂 I love you
Happy new year Cedric 😎💜
I was just thinking "Oh he shaved!" when you mentioned about your beard haha great timing. They shot this at around 2-4am and they shot it few times to get the perfect shot. I will never ever forget Jimmy Fallon said after they're done, he went to hug the guys and when he hugged JK, he can feel JK's heart beating through his back. That's how exhausting this whole thing was.
I've only read Demian once, when I was 14, it's a good book!! Not my favorite from that author, but it definitely made me think a lot. The subject of Abraxas was probably the most intriguing for me at the time (I was questioning my faith a lot back then), even though there's no a lot more to the story. I don't know, this idea of "the good God" and "the devil" being one being/the same entity, just like humans have both good and bad within them, and embracing everything you are, even your darkness... That was fascinating to me, despite how much of a moralistic goody two shoes teen I was. I guess I was asking myself a lot of the same questions Demian was wondering about, at that moment.
Hi and happy new year!
Dancing and singing live is their mo.
Jimin won't even bother singing playback of life goes on, and j-hope notices that.
Even without a beard, you still super handsome 💜
The behind the scenes of this video...ruclips.net/video/OKy12jb_7EU/видео.html .... it's very interesting how BTS feel about performing at Grand Central. Glad to see you ;) Borahae
Awesome choice. We get to punch your face? I don't usually suggest repeating the same song, different version, but there's one worth watching that I (maybe) like more than this. It's the On dance practice for the 2020 MAMA's. It should have been a half-time show. The practice shows more than the actual performance...more Hobi anyway and that's what matters.
I know! That mama ON practice is mindblowing, funny that practice vid is better than any actual performance
Mama ON practice is my favorite practice! It was actually better than mama ON for me, practice version's camera work was incredible😂
4:36 hahahahaha that’s very smart of you 👀
Wonderful reaction !!!
Thanks for good New year gift !
I hope if possible you react "The Truth Untold" lyric ver.
new year, new cedric
you look good!
Cedgehogs !!!
Yay, I'm so excited for this one!!
Hey, happy new year! Do you think that next time you have to do a lot of blurring ect you could put the unedited version on patron? So that if it bugs me I could watch there?
I could! My issue is that they're copyrighting it for a reason, and as a filmmaker - I don't like the feeling of "going around them" like that, if that makes sense. Maybe I'm just overthinking it, though.
@@CedricGegel1 no, you make a good point and if that's what your conscience is telling you than you should do that. My only thing is, that you know the people watching you react have already seen that content and you are not claiming that the content is yours. You are not taking views from them or anything idk but go with your conscience for sure!
I went to sleep thinking when will Cedric upload again and woke up to a lovely Cedric gift.
Thank you and Happy New Year
Glad it was a good surprise! Happy New Year and thanks for watching 😌
Jimmy fallon and james corden is a big fan of bts or i could say one of the most trust worthy host interview for bts
So glad that you came to react BTS "O N" with Jimmy Falon and you fell in love with
our Boy BTS. Many things that you have to see/watch them - like BTS Week on Jimmy F
also with James Corden and so on. Am waiting!
Pls do their let go live perfomance 🙇♀️
Immediately checks the comment section for the link to vote for the name. 💜💜💜💜
Appreciates how little time it has taken Cedric to realize that jackets on Jimin "are always suspicious." 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Halfway through your reaction I forgot you flipped the video and was confused about Jimin's position. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Happy New Year! May the year of the cow be filled with good health, kindness, gratitude and loyalty. 💜💜💜💜
