71 year old BTS Army here. Not a cover. He is the main vocalist of BTS and "Kook" is pronounced like "cook". This track is totally late 70s, early 80's Retro disco funk and was announced as a subtle homage to MJ. This is his third mega hit after "Seven Feat Latto" that is now Platinum, and "3D Feat Jack Harlow". All are from his first solo album "GOLDEN" and just so you know, none of JK's solo releases have anything to do with Kpop (Korean Pop) other than JK is S. Korean. All of JK's solo releases including his just released album "Golden" are all in English. There are no S. Korean songwriters, producers, recording studios or MV shooting directors or locations, etc. He is blowing past Kpop and jumping head first into the American pop market. He is using American Grammy Award winning songwriters, producers, recording in the U.S. and filming at mostly U.S. locations such as Universal Studios in Hollywood. This original MV track, however, is filmed in and around an abandoned power plant in Budapest, Hungary. The director is a very notable Ukrainian director who has directed for Harry Styles and many others. The Official Usher remix Performance Video of "Standing Next to You" is filmed in L.A. and I highly recommend you react to it. His self professed dream of being a giant pop star has clearly took off in a big way. BTW, there are now several live performances. iHeart Radio, Jimmy Fallon Show, The Today Show, and there is a KILLER Official Choreo Version. He recently performed 5 songs at the TSX stage in Times Square, NYC. Only the third artist to ever been invited to perform there besides Post Malone and PDiddy. The Usher Remix Performance Video of this song is ICONIC and a dream come true for JK. It is also included on Usher's new album dropping soon. JK's solo achievements are the biggest of the seven BTS members amazing solo releases. ALL of BTS members are in the military now for 18 months as of Dec.12 including Jung Kook. They will reunite as BTS in 2025. JK's solo album "Golden" is over to 2.5 billion streams now since Nov. 2. FYI, the American team of Grammy winner Andrew Watt, Cirkut, (and others) wrote and produced this song and it was recorded in Watt's studio in L.A. They also wrote and produced his first mega hit "SEVEN Feat Latto". Credited on the "Golden" album besides Andrew Watt, John Bellion, and Canadian Cirkut is Shawn Mendes for "Hate You" and Ed Sheeran for "Yes or No". Ed Sheeran also plays guitar on the track. There are several other notable credits/collabs on the album. Thank you for your great reaction! 💜
Slight correction on the pronunciation of JK's name. Correctly pronounced, it sounds more like "gook" with a softer sound than we English speakers pronounce the "hard g" sound. Also, "Jungkook" is fluid between syllables, as opposed to being two separate words (even though stylistically, Jung Kook has chosen to separate his two names in print). So, his entire name (without his last name) is pronounced like "chungook" where the "ch" is softer and you pronounce both the "ng" and "g"...and the "k" is sort of bit off at the end.
@@judyburgess3357 I like the remix, but I agree that it wasn't especially NEEDED. JK's original version was already amazing. Usher brought a different flavor to it, and I enjoyed it, though. As remixes go, I think it's one of the best ones because USHER respected the original.
63-yr-old BTS ARMY. Born in 1960's, I've seen all the greats. BTS ranks right up here. Fabulous performers. Not a cover -just a homage to MK. Jungkook started training when he was 13. Basically spent his whole life singing, dancing, writing and working his ass off. Mad respect.
Yup. 57 years old here, I've seen MJ as well as his sister in concert, Journey, Styx, Paul Simon, Elton John/Billy Joel, James Taylor, Starship, ZZ Top, The Cars, Mellencamp, Bryan Adams, and a host of other solo artists and groups - over 100 concerts, I think. BTS is absolutely top tier.
I just turned 60! Huge BTS fan (ARMY) and their story is fascinating and their music is terrific - amazing live as well and I’ve also seen a lot of greats in my time 💜
This is the title track off of Jung Kook’s debut album. It is his song. JK is the youngest member of BTS and the main vocalist. He left home at age 13 to become a trainee and they debuted when he was 15. He is not fluent in English so it always impresses me how he sings in English. His entire album is English. There is a remix version of this song with USHER, one of JK’s biggest influences. You really need to hear him live. IHeart is the best vocals imo and there is a live band. Also, Audacy radio live. All seven members of BTS are extremely talented and have put out solo work.
Jk is a member of Bts the biggest group in the world and many call him The Beatles of the 21st century ..All of them are already in the military service now and will come in 2025 Standing next to you is JK's song from the album Golden
This isn't a cover, it's Jung Kook's title track off his first solo album called "Golden" that was released early November 2023. Yes, his company did say its a slight tribute to MJ. That is pretty clear in the choreography. FYI - he performed this live on iHeart Radio, Jimmy Fallon, Audacy Live, as part of a 5-song mini concert at TSX stage (Times Square, New York), and a full concert he did in Seoul. Jung Kook has been the main vocalist, and a lead dancer and sub-rapper of BTS since June 2013, when BTS debuted. He was 15 then and is 26 now. I want to Thank You for doing the reaction and thank Tanya for suggesting it. By the way, there is also a remix out done by and with Usher.
But he was actually with them from the age of 13.😊 They just hadn’t debuted yet and the group wasn’t fully formed when he joined as a trainee. (I know the commenter knows this), I’m just expanding the comment for the reactor or others who read these and may not know. 😊
@@djlivvy46It might surprise you to know that the director said the mv is inspired by Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo and Juliet (Di Caprio and Danes). The choreography is definitely an homage to MJ. As for vocals, JK is a chameleon but his vocals are always smooth.
I have heard there was a sample in the song… I can’t remember the name. I want to say renegade. I’m not saying that’s the case, but I have read it over and over by multiple people.
It is an homage to MJ and disco funk from the 70s. Famous choreographers and famous backup dancers. Jungkook is even better live. The iHeart Radio performances are amazing. Live band, live bass. Enjoy the rabbit hole, BTS are beyond talented. And Jungkook is killing it. We look forward to them returning in 2025 from service. 😘💜🫶🏻🫰🏻
Watch him perform this song live in Times Square at the TSX stage… his vocals are very live and he does all this intense choreo full out… he’s unmatchable in talents and the stage presence.. this song is WAY better live and he actually sings live with very little backtrack.. no one’s doing it like jungkook is doing it !…
Lucky you to jump in feet first and blind into the BTS rabbithole! Jungkook is an amazing performer. I'm sure someone has already told you he is currently serving in the military. This song is from the album he released before he enlisted.
Jungkook is the total package, beautiful voice, great dancer, great performer. This is clearly a homage to MJ who Jungkook admires. It is his song. He has also done live performances try his performance of this song in New York's Times Square. Did you spot how many times this music video has been downloaded. All 7 members of BTS are top performers, but are all currently doing their mandatory military service in South Korea, but if you would like to hear more of their music there are between 3 and 4 hundred tracks to keep you busy. They have been a group since june 2013.
Hi! I'm 68 too, and love BTS as well as each member in the group. My musical taste ran (still does) along the lines of the poster on your wall, but one day accidentally discovered BTS. They are fantastic! (They actually have beaten some Beatles records). I don't like other k-pop, I think they are copycats and will never surpass BTS. I hope you will explore a lot more! Thank you for your open mind - they certainly opened mine! As for this song, Jungkook has 9 years experience as lead (center) singer with BTS - since he was about 14. He's 26 now. Being that young, he adores Michael Jackson and has this tribute, but he's an incredible singer and dancer with BTS too. My favorite song of his is Euphoria (live at Wembley), so fun.
No background is fine. A first reaction is a first reaction after all. That said thank you for being open to checking out new music and sharing your views while being respectful to the artist. MJ is a MAJOR source of inspiration & admiration for BTS and for Jungkook in particular, along with Usher and many other Western pop, r&b & hip hop artists. Usher included the remix of this song he features in on his new album. It’s really good as well.
Thank you for your reaction. It's jungkook (JK) from the BTS band from South Korea. They are one of the biggest international groups They're really talented and jk He's the youngest member of the band. He is really wonderful talented and has a golden voice and strong dancing and this song is special for him and not a cover I hope you see more songs for him, especially the live performance, he is much better ✨✨ It is also a remix with Usher I hope you watch it
52 year old southern grandma here. I'm a huge BTS fan, and they are AMAZING. Jungkook is the youngest member of BTS, and each one is just as talented as the others. They have been heavily influenced by Michael Jackson, and Jungkook and fellow-BTS member Jimin did a 🔥 cover of "Black or White". Be sure to check that one out.
52 year old BTS ARMY.. Jungkook is the main vocalist for BTS. Not a cover.. It’s the lead song on his album Golden. * presently all the BTS members are enlisted in the South Korean military . 🫡
Nope not a cover it is 100% Jungkook original and yes they are playing homage to Michael Jackson. 60 year old Army here since 2013! Jungkook is the lead singer of the group BTS.
There is a choreography version of "Standing Next to You" as well. JK even dresses similar to MJ. He is wearing a white t-shirt and white socks in it. The choreography is outstanding. Take care.
I don’t get tired of listening to this song and I love watching somebody who has seen it for the first time it makes me proud, almost like that’s my grandkid❤
Its a homage to Michael jacksson, Bts also did a homage to Michael Jacksson in there song Dynamite, Jungkook did 2 other solo Mvs Seven ft Latto and 3 D ft Jack harlow also a remix whid Justin Timberlake
Thank you for your humble, respectful attitude and willingness to step into new territory. I also live the list of bands on your poster - Dave Clark 5 was one of the first albums I ever bought, so I suspect we are of the same approximate decade. Welcome! Some good introductions to the whole group are KBS Music Bank performance of "Yet to Come" and "For Youth" (both mixed English and Korean); big production songs like "ON: Kinetic Manifesto" and "IDOL"; soulful live performances by the 4 main vocalists (the vocal line) - "The truth Untold" and "House of Cards"; fiery performances by the 3 rappers - "Cypher Pt 3", "Outro: Tear" and "UGH!"; straight ahead power songs - "Fire", "Not Today"; quirky genre- benders - "Am I Wrong", "Go Go"(YOLO), "Anpanman", "Airplane Pt 2"; art finally, high value video art pieces - "Black Swan", "Fake Love" and "Blood, Sweat and Tears". These still do not fully represent the range of expression and thoughtful content BTS has amassed over 11 years of intense work, but would give a new person a broader sense of their music and who they are. Some Armys will lament the absence of "Mic Drop" from this list, but IMHO it is more impactful and meaningful when you know more about the group and their history, so I would save it for a bit. Final recs for a newbie: we BTS fans love to watch full videos with you, so it helps to have the video screen fairly large; also we will stay with you through more than one version of a song in one reaction (such as Official MV, Choreo/Dance Practice, and live performance) or several songs in one reaction. Personally I would not recommend so-called "lyric videos", which typically are color-coded lyrics that have been generated quickly after a song is released and seem to be not as well translated as other sources. One of my favorite sources for well-researched subtitles is EnjoyBTSMore channel, as well as BangtanTV and Hybe Labels.
It's a tribute corner of his biggest inspirations one of the whole band's biggest amazing mans name is Jungkook he is one of seven members of the Superstar band BTS they are South Korean and all legends in own rite. There are three rappers and 4 vocalist And they have group solo music 100% percent do one of his live performances
This is Jungkook's song. It's not a cover. Yes, Michael Jackson vibes! All the members of BTS are huge Michael Jackson fans and this pays homage to him. Jungkook (or JK or Kookie as we call him) has an amazing voice and is known for his perfect pitch. A couple of his other solo songs are 3D and Seven if you are interested in seeing more of JK.
Thanks for the reaction. I’m glad you enjoyed this track. You might want to check out the rest of his album or perhaps try a song from the whole group. BTS’s discography is vast and covers many genres so if you let ARMY know what type of music you like, we can make some suggestions. To start I would recommend any of the following: Black Swan, On: Kinetic Manifesto, Mic Drop, Butter and Dynamite. The last two are in English but the majority of BTS songs are in Korean so make sure you turn on the subtitles. Borahae 💜.
59 year old BTS fan here. BTS fans are called ARMY, btw. It’s confusing, now especially they’re all serving their required service in South Korea. Love your reaction. JK is a wildly talented performer with some rare vocal skills. This song really showcases them, and his killer dance moves, as you could see. His fellow dancers in this MV are considered the very best in the business. When he asked them, they all came running, because they know what a great talent he is, and also that, like all the members, he is a perfect gentleman. A point of pride for JKand all the members is that you will never regret being their fan. None of the crap you often get with a lot of other performers in...other places.😉 I grew up in SE Pennsylvania, so I love the WVU hat. A niece of mine graduated from there. If you want to see a showcase of all the members doing their best, they did a live 10-minute medley video in 2021, called BTS Festa Room 2021. Each June they’d put out special content to celebrate their start in June 2013. BTS, in a word, is special. I can honestly say they have improved my quality of life, and I will be forever grateful to them for that. Enjoy this journey.💜
He is the youngest BTS member known as Golden Maknae. Song is not a cover. It's an homage to MJ. Original music. It's his first solo album while still being a member of BTS. Please do your research before making baseless opinions.
💜🇧🇷💜Hi There!! BTS Army from Brazil!!!! This song is from JK’s first single album Golden. And yea , the BTS get a lot of inspiration from MJ. If you interested in checking about the other members ( The Lider of the group, rapper and main songwriter RM (Rap Monster), Suga (AgustD), rapper and main producer , JHOPE ( Rapper and Dance Líder), the vocalist are, Jin ( has a song with Coldplay, The Astronaut), Jimin, V and JK ( the main vocalist of the group) , also has the remix of this song with Usher. They are all amazing artists, all have different styles of songs, all talented and they all writes, produces and compose their songs. Thanks so much from the reaction and prepare to be surprise with BTS , every song has a different vibe and style, that what their fans ( called ARMY ) love about their music and their ara amazing human beings and very down to Earth, funny individuals. Thanks 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Yea, Jungkook! :) In his earlier debut days he also rapped, even though his group (BTS) has three devoted rappers. Again, they're all incredibly versatile with their scope of abilities. :) Maybe check out the dance practice for their song Run BTS. ruclips.net/video/aqW4xXUgmno/видео.html It's about their come-up from underdogs at a bankrupting company to global superstars -- all through putting their heads down and running toward their dreams. Jungkook is the one leading it off in the track suit.
ARMY has entered the chat :) BTS as a group and the individual members have a variety of styles. I'd love to see you dive into their huge discography. I'm a 60 y.o. that grew up on classic rock. These guys are amazing!
I'm 66, I love Pink Floyd, Led Zepellin, David Bowie, MJ (of course), Bee Gees, Earth Wind and Fire and a lot more... and since 2020, I've been a proud Army (BTS fandom's name), these seven boys brought the good music back to my life!
Thank you for reacting to something new! I'm new to your channel but if you let BTS ARMY know what genres you like best, they'll recommend some more songs from BTS and Jungkook that you might enjoy. 💜
Thank you for reacting to this video. Jungkook also known as JK is the youngest member of the group BTS. BTS is made up of 7 members who currently are all serving mandatory militarily service at the moment. The group will be back together in 2025 since all members would have completed their service by then. Standing next to you is a song off of Jungkook's album Golden. This was not a cover at all and he also has a remix of this song where Usher sings with him. Jungkook joined BTS at the age of 13 and was basically raised by his brothers (BTS members refer to themselves as brothers and not just band members. Fun Fact: BTS lived together close to 10 years so they are a family more than just band members). Before enlisting into the military, Jungkook released his album, GOLDEN, with all English songs. Below are links to some of his live performances which I would suggest you react to because JK is our "Golden Maknae," a nickname given to him by RM the leader of BTS because he is good at everything he does. 정국 (Jung Kook), USHER ‘Standing Next to You - USHER Remix’ Official Performance Video ruclips.net/video/O1d2DYZZrek/видео.htmlsi=VIeqoM3YlB8zuVE9 Jung Kook Live at TSX, Times Square ruclips.net/user/livegeHuX7E3NX8?si=zo-upYIVL_A4biSY. 정국 (Jung Kook) 'Standing Next to You' @ iHeartRadio LIVE ruclips.net/video/LAnm7QH1J7w/видео.htmlsi=jOt_l7aEMBnbHsWV. 정국 (Jung Kook) 'Hate You' @ iHeartRadio LIVE ruclips.net/video/5koQ2v3HusI/видео.htmlsi=9aKBHhp5XcCWzVPH.

React to the official music video Seven by Jung Kook feat. LATTO. The music video is a cinematic experience, it’s great! The RUclips gods won’t get you with BTS videos, as long as you play the intro BigHit music. 💜
Jungkook is the youngest member of the group BTS, 3rappers 4 all star vocalists. Cover a wide genre range as all 7 members have very different solo musical tastes. They have been together for about 12 years since the youngest 3 were still at school. They are all doing their national service in the army. All put solo work out when they cannot perform together. People say they have split up that is false. They have always had solo work. They do not need to break up.
All 7 members of BTS just completed solo albums then went into the military. Jin went first and only did a single song with Coldplay. He'll be back in June and hopefully will do his solo album. Jungkook finished his album last and this is the title track.
Jungkook is from then7 member group bts they are massive around the world and their music is powerful and has meaning to them as well. They all have solo projects and now there all in the korean military its mandatory for all men in korea to do that. They will be back in 2025 tho but 2 members come back this year Jin comes out in June 12th and jhope in October.
@@ruthfischer7615 he's also a solo artist. You all shove bts in every comment without even at least leaving a compliment for jk since that's who the video is actually about.
@@angiesplaylist23 "You shove"... are you okay? JK IS BTS. That IS his priority not his solo career. And yes: I'm aware he wants his giant Pop-career - which he also gets. But the way he e.g. reacted to watching members on Suchwita tell us of his priorities, too. JK's story is bound to the one of the group. He does not exist in a vacuum. Read the lyrics of "Begin" to understand it, please. Notice how he at least once a year speaks about his Idol Namjoon/Runch Randa. Sure. We could compliment JK. A lot of the BTS commenters actually do. But we also see the 100s of comments that already do so - sometimes in a way that is way over the top and gives false impressions (sometimes even wrong). Should we all - remember that most people do compliment him AND write about BTS - just repeat what every comment says? What would that help or change? If I see 100s of comments that don't actually add anything new I skip them. Don't you? This isn't a slight against JK. He is brilliant and *perfect* just the way he is (even if I'm under the impression a lot of his solos see only an ideal version of him instead of the multilayered person he is). But he adds just as much or little as every other member of BTS to their success. Try to watch boracity magazine's video essays like the one she made of why BTS signing a third contract was not a surprise. 💜
@ruthfischer7615 lol you clearly didn't listen to jk at all then. He said bts is important to him but his solo time is just as important if not more important. Go watch his interview with Zane Lowe for apple music. This music is part of his solo career not bts. It wouldn't be as obnoxious that you want more interest in bts rather than jk but like I said, your statement and others pushing bts couldn't even leave one complement for jk b4 shoving the group into everything. You're so quick to say jk is bts but yall ignore him and treat him as a stepping stone for the group. Any video of other members solo videos are full of complements to the artist first then maybe some recs of bts. But its the opposite for jk. Everyone rushes to talk about bts and other members without acknowledging jk. Your comment is proof. Fake fans
Why is your initial thought of this song is that it’s a cover? As you’ve said, you’ve never heard of the song, so why think it’s somebody else’s song? It clearly says in the title - Jungkook Standing Next to You official mv. Genuine questions
Even I thought it was a cover of Michael Jackson, the song, the dance, and the whole style, completely MJ, until I was surprised when I read the comments and knew that it was not a cover.😅
Yep, just a homage to him! It was confirmed by his label. BTS loves to pay homage to a lot of artists that have inspired them. :) They did a rendition of "Born Sinner" by J. Cole and named it "Born Singer"...and their Proof Live 2022 Verizon of Born Singer is one of my fav.
Not a cover, it’s JK’s original. It’s an homage to MJ.

@@djlivvy46It might surprise you to know that the director said the mv is inspired by Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo and Juliet (Di Caprio and Danes). The choreography is definitely an homage to MJ. As for vocals, JK is a chameleon but his vocals are always smooth.
This is all jungkooks song no samples from anything its all jungkook's just to answer your question.
I have heard there was a sample in the song… I can’t remember the name. I want to say renegade. I’m not saying that’s the case, but I have read it over and over by multiple people.
@@Imme_beginThat's not true at all. Sometimes what people say isn't always accurate, especially on RUclips.
@@aannaa330That statement goes both ways. 😉
@@aannaa330 It's true though, it's a sample
Jungkook is the main vocalist in Bts and the youngest
Its influenced by MJ yes and he did a remix with Usher as well and Justin Timberlake also on his song 3D.
His Golden Voice can sing any kind of genre he is so blessed to have that talent like that. He is the Main Vocalist on his group BTS
It is an homage to MJ and disco funk from the 70s. Famous choreographers and famous backup dancers.
Jungkook is even better live. The iHeart Radio performances are amazing. Live band, live bass.
Enjoy the rabbit hole, BTS are beyond talented. And Jungkook is killing it. We look forward to them returning in 2025 from service.
😘💜🫶🏻🫰🏻
Watch him perform this song live in Times Square at the TSX stage… his vocals are very live and he does all this intense choreo full out… he’s unmatchable in talents and the stage presence.. this song is WAY better live and he actually sings live with very little backtrack.. no one’s doing it like jungkook is doing it !…
Lucky you to jump in feet first and blind into the BTS rabbithole! Jungkook is an amazing performer. I'm sure someone has already told you he is currently serving in the military. This song is from the album he released before he enlisted.
No it's not a cover it's a brand new song
Jungkook is the total package, beautiful voice, great dancer, great performer. This is clearly a homage to MJ who Jungkook admires. It is his song. He has also done live performances try his performance of this song in New York's Times Square. Did you spot how many times this music video has been downloaded.
All 7 members of BTS are top performers, but are all currently doing their mandatory military service in South Korea, but if you would like to hear more of their music there are between 3 and 4 hundred tracks to keep you busy. They have been a group since june 2013.
43 years old bts army here, love Jungkook and love Bts.
Hi! I'm 68 too, and love BTS as well as each member in the group. My musical taste ran (still does) along the lines of the poster on your wall, but one day accidentally discovered BTS. They are fantastic! (They actually have beaten some Beatles records). I don't like other k-pop, I think they are copycats and will never surpass BTS. I hope you will explore a lot more! Thank you for your open mind - they certainly opened mine!
As for this song, Jungkook has 9 years experience as lead (center) singer with BTS - since he was about 14. He's 26 now. Being that young, he adores Michael Jackson and has this tribute, but he's an incredible singer and dancer with BTS too. My favorite song of his is Euphoria (live at Wembley), so fun.
No background is fine. A first reaction is a first reaction after all. That said thank you for being open to checking out new music and sharing your views while being respectful to the artist. MJ is a MAJOR source of inspiration & admiration for BTS and for Jungkook in particular, along with Usher and many other Western pop, r&b & hip hop artists. Usher included the remix of this song he features in on his new album. It’s really good as well.
Thank you for your reaction.
It's jungkook (JK) from the BTS band from South Korea.
They are one of the biggest international groups
They're really talented and jk He's the youngest member of the band.
He is really wonderful talented and has a golden voice and strong dancing and this song is special for him and not a cover
I hope you see more songs for him, especially the live performance, he is much better ✨✨
It is also a remix with Usher I hope you watch it
52 year old southern grandma here. I'm a huge BTS fan, and they are AMAZING. Jungkook is the youngest member of BTS, and each one is just as talented as the others. They have been heavily influenced by Michael Jackson, and Jungkook and fellow-BTS member Jimin did a 🔥 cover of "Black or White". Be sure to check that one out.
Southern Nana of 7, 4 boys 3 girls,here,hello!
@@susank.548 Hi from metro ATL 💜
53 year old here and a huge fan of BTS. This is not a cover but his original.
Standing Next to You is a original song from our precious Jungkook. His Golden ALBUM his SOLO ALBUM. All BTS release their SOLO ALBUM
watch Jung Kook's video with Usher...excellent collaboration. Jung Kook is a Korean singer, dancer, songwriter, producer, writer for the band BTS
52 year old BTS ARMY.. Jungkook is the main vocalist for BTS. Not a cover.. It’s the lead song on his album Golden. * presently all the BTS members are enlisted in the South Korean military . 🫡
I love JK, BTS, and everything they do~ welcome to a rabbit hole of amazement
Nope not a cover it is 100% Jungkook original and yes they are playing homage to Michael Jackson. 60 year old Army here since 2013! Jungkook is the lead singer of the group BTS.
It's a brand new song by Jung Kook this is a title track for his debut album called "GOLDEN". Thanks!
Это не кавер,а первый сольный альбом Чонгука..🎉 Россия.
There is a choreography version of "Standing Next to You" as well. JK even dresses similar to MJ. He is wearing a white t-shirt and white socks in it. The choreography is outstanding. Take care.
Also there is a live performance of this song you might want to check out his I heart radio live performance
I don’t get tired of listening to this song and I love watching somebody who has seen it for the first time it makes me proud, almost like that’s my grandkid❤
It's his song 🎵 😌
Pronounced Jung guuk, middle k is soft 💜
Not a cover, he actually has an album Golden. Yes, he is paying homage to MJ. Alot of BTS gives homage to MJ. He also did a video with USHER as well.
This isn't a cover, this is his original song😊💜
Checked HIS album named GOLDEN these masterpiece ... and Jungkook is incredible artist singer dancer his talented amazing . I m ARMY 60yo 😊💜💜💜
Its a homage to Michael jacksson, Bts also did a homage to Michael Jacksson in there song Dynamite, Jungkook did 2 other solo Mvs Seven ft Latto and 3 D ft Jack harlow also a remix whid Justin Timberlake
Really enjoyed this reaction. You'll learn loads from the comments! Hope you check out more Jungkook and BTS. 💜
Thank you for your humble, respectful attitude and willingness to step into new territory. I also live the list of bands on your poster - Dave Clark 5 was one of the first albums I ever bought, so I suspect we are of the same approximate decade. Welcome!
Some good introductions to the whole group are KBS Music Bank performance of "Yet to Come" and "For Youth" (both mixed English and Korean); big production songs like "ON: Kinetic Manifesto" and "IDOL"; soulful live performances by the 4 main vocalists (the vocal line) - "The truth Untold" and "House of Cards"; fiery performances by the 3 rappers - "Cypher Pt 3", "Outro: Tear" and "UGH!"; straight ahead power songs - "Fire", "Not Today"; quirky genre- benders - "Am I Wrong", "Go Go"(YOLO), "Anpanman", "Airplane Pt 2"; art finally, high value video art pieces - "Black Swan", "Fake Love" and "Blood, Sweat and Tears". These still do not fully represent the range of expression and thoughtful content BTS has amassed over 11 years of intense work, but would give a new person a broader sense of their music and who they are. Some Armys will lament the absence of "Mic Drop" from this list, but IMHO it is more impactful and meaningful when you know more about the group and their history, so I would save it for a bit.
Final recs for a newbie: we BTS fans love to watch full videos with you, so it helps to have the video screen fairly large; also we will stay with you through more than one version of a song in one reaction (such as Official MV, Choreo/Dance Practice, and live performance) or several songs in one reaction. Personally I would not recommend so-called "lyric videos", which typically are color-coded lyrics that have been generated quickly after a song is released and seem to be not as well translated as other sources. One of my favorite sources for well-researched subtitles is EnjoyBTSMore channel, as well as BangtanTV and Hybe Labels.
He is the next king..he is a perfectionist !!!
It's a tribute corner of his biggest inspirations one of the whole band's biggest amazing mans name is Jungkook he is one of seven members of the Superstar band BTS they are South Korean and all legends in own rite. There are three rappers and 4 vocalist
And they have group solo music 100% percent do one of his live performances
This is Jungkook's song. It's not a cover. Yes, Michael Jackson vibes! All the members of BTS are huge Michael Jackson fans and this pays homage to him. Jungkook (or JK or Kookie as we call him) has an amazing voice and is known for his perfect pitch. A couple of his other solo songs are 3D and Seven if you are interested in seeing more of JK.
Sir your channel has some swell people watching & giving great feedback. Well done.
I appreciate that!
JK no tiene rival
Es autentico
BTS FOREVER 💜
Thank you for your reaction.
Thanks for the reaction. I’m glad you enjoyed this track. You might want to check out the rest of his album or perhaps try a song from the whole group. BTS’s discography is vast and covers many genres so if you let ARMY know what type of music you like, we can make some suggestions. To start I would recommend any of the following: Black Swan, On: Kinetic Manifesto, Mic Drop, Butter and Dynamite. The last two are in English but the majority of BTS songs are in Korean so make sure you turn on the subtitles. Borahae 💜.
In your next BTS or Jungkook reaction, let us know what kind of music you like. We will make suggestions for you based on that. Thanks! 💜
Jungkook es un artista muy completo e increíble.
WELCOME! 💜
59 year old BTS fan here. BTS fans are called ARMY, btw. It’s confusing, now especially they’re all serving their required service in South Korea.
Love your reaction. JK is a wildly talented performer with some rare vocal skills. This song really showcases them, and his killer dance moves, as you could see. His fellow dancers in this MV are considered the very best in the business. When he asked them, they all came running, because they know what a great talent he is, and also that, like all the members, he is a perfect gentleman. A point of pride for JKand all the members is that you will never regret being their fan. None of the crap you often get with a lot of other performers in...other places.😉
I grew up in SE Pennsylvania, so I love the WVU hat. A niece of mine graduated from there.
If you want to see a showcase of all the members doing their best, they did a live 10-minute medley video in 2021, called BTS Festa Room 2021. Each June they’d put out special content to celebrate their start in June 2013. BTS, in a word, is special. I can honestly say they have improved my quality of life, and I will be forever grateful to them for that.
Enjoy this journey.💜
Все любят JK , он самый лучший, конечно и его братья супер звезды
He is a wonder to behold ❤❤❤
You did great, sir!
He is the youngest BTS member known as Golden Maknae. Song is not a cover. It's an homage to MJ. Original music. It's his first solo album while still being a member of BTS. Please do your research before making baseless opinions.
My jk❤❤❤❤❤
Not cover this is one of his new songs from his album Golden
I love jungkook. Es increíble 😍❤ mi bias jk.
Jk es increíble puede bailar y cantar con tanta calidad que recuerda a artistas legendarios como MJ gracias por apoyarlo.
❤❤ thanks for you reaction! Ahm podrías reaccionar a la versión en vivo de iheart radio?? Es muy cool porfavor!! ❤❤
It is not a cover. It is his song.
💜🇧🇷💜Hi There!! BTS Army from Brazil!!!! This song is from JK’s first single album Golden. And yea , the BTS get a lot of inspiration from MJ. If you interested in checking about the other members ( The Lider of the group, rapper and main songwriter RM (Rap Monster), Suga (AgustD), rapper and main producer , JHOPE ( Rapper and Dance Líder), the vocalist are, Jin ( has a song with Coldplay, The Astronaut), Jimin, V and JK ( the main vocalist of the group) , also has the remix of this song with Usher. They are all amazing artists, all have different styles of songs, all talented and they all writes, produces and compose their songs. Thanks so much from the reaction and prepare to be surprise with BTS , every song has a different vibe and style, that what their fans ( called ARMY ) love about their music and their ara amazing human beings and very down to Earth, funny individuals. Thanks 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Great reaction. Glad you liked it!!! I would recommend more but not sure what kind of music you prefer. Thanks for the video!!!
Yea, Jungkook! :)
In his earlier debut days he also rapped, even though his group (BTS) has three devoted rappers. Again, they're all incredibly versatile with their scope of abilities. :)
Maybe check out the dance practice for their song Run BTS. ruclips.net/video/aqW4xXUgmno/видео.html
It's about their come-up from underdogs at a bankrupting company to global superstars -- all through putting their heads down and running toward their dreams.
Jungkook is the one leading it off in the track suit.
ARMY has entered the chat :) BTS as a group and the individual members have a variety of styles. I'd love to see you dive into their huge discography. I'm a 60 y.o. that grew up on classic rock. These guys are amazing!
I'm 66, I love Pink Floyd, Led Zepellin, David Bowie, MJ (of course), Bee Gees, Earth Wind and Fire and a lot more... and since 2020, I've been a proud Army (BTS fandom's name), these seven boys brought the good music back to my life!
Siga investigando y se va encontrar con 7 artistas completos!! Espero su próxima reacción a bts ,o miembros en forma individual!
Jk💎👑🔥😍😘💪💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
68 yr old BTS army member. Not a cover!
Absolutely MJ style! Original but JK was influenced by MJ.
Thank you for reacting to something new! I'm new to your channel but if you let BTS ARMY know what genres you like best, they'll recommend some more songs from BTS and Jungkook that you might enjoy. 💜
Чон чонгук 💜💖💕💗👑
This is not a cover uncle...this is his orginal song from the album golden😅
Thank you for the reaction.
Thank you too!
BTS
JK 💜💜💜🇧🇷💜🇧🇷🇧🇷
Thank you for reacting to this video. Jungkook also known as JK is the youngest member of the group BTS. BTS is made up of 7 members who currently are all serving mandatory militarily service at the moment. The group will be back together in 2025 since all members would have completed their service by then.
Standing next to you is a song off of Jungkook's album Golden. This was not a cover at all and he also has a remix of this song where Usher sings with him.
Jungkook joined BTS at the age of 13 and was basically raised by his brothers (BTS members refer to themselves as brothers and not just band members. Fun Fact: BTS lived together close to 10 years so they are a family more than just band members). Before enlisting into the military, Jungkook released his album, GOLDEN, with all English songs. Below are links to some of his live performances which I would suggest you react to because JK is our "Golden Maknae," a nickname given to him by RM the leader of BTS because he is good at everything he does.

If you want to get to know more about BTS, I would suggest you watch the links below as well. It helps to understand who they are, why their fandom (ARMY) is so protective of them and also help you understand that their music always has a message behind it. Do reactions to these as well. ARMY enjoys watching people learn more about BTS and we don't mind long videos either. Just remember to pause when you speak so you don't miss anything being said and so we can hear you clearly.

Reacciona a Hate You de Jungkook en iHeart RADIO
React to the official music video Seven by Jung Kook feat. LATTO. The music video is a cinematic experience, it’s great! The RUclips gods won’t get you with BTS videos, as long as you play the intro BigHit music. 💜
BTS will be remembered as one of the greatest legends in music history.
Jungkook is the youngest member of the group BTS, 3rappers 4 all star vocalists. Cover a wide genre range as all 7 members have very different solo musical tastes. They have been together for about 12 years since the youngest 3 were still at school. They are all doing their national service in the army. All put solo work out when they cannot perform together. People say they have split up that is false. They have always had solo work. They do not need to break up.
3 rappers and 4 vocalists, since they are 7
@@giovannabenso1754 corrected. My husband came in and I did not notice the error thank you.
Amazing talent!! You should check out all of BTS ‘s music both as a group and individuals!
this is not a cover is Jungkook song, his solo Album is all in English, he did a remix whid this song whid Usher
All 7 members of BTS just completed solo albums then went into the military. Jin went first and only did a single song with Coldplay. He'll be back in June and hopefully will do his solo album. Jungkook finished his album last and this is the title track.
This is an original song of Jungkook and not a cover…..it’s the title track from his Golden album
This is jungkook’s song😅
Jungkook is our Angel 😍
Thanks for giving him some time. Try the choreography video or the usher remix.
Чонгук😊😊😊😊
Good job.
Please make a reaction to jungkook’s ’standing next to you’ iheartradio live (I’ve subscribed 😊)
Jungkook is from then7 member group bts they are massive around the world and their music is powerful and has meaning to them as well. They all have solo projects and now there all in the korean military its mandatory for all men in korea to do that. They will be back in 2025 tho but 2 members come back this year Jin comes out in June 12th and jhope in October.
you are all everywhere. he's not askimg abput the group lol
@@Frozen-w9e yeah, and?
He is Jungkook of BTS.
Cry about it.
@@ruthfischer7615 he's also a solo artist. You all shove bts in every comment without even at least leaving a compliment for jk since that's who the video is actually about.
@@angiesplaylist23
"You shove"... are you okay?
JK IS BTS. That IS his priority not his solo career. And yes: I'm aware he wants his giant Pop-career - which he also gets. But the way he e.g. reacted to watching members on Suchwita tell us of his priorities, too.
JK's story is bound to the one of the group. He does not exist in a vacuum. Read the lyrics of "Begin" to understand it, please. Notice how he at least once a year speaks about his Idol Namjoon/Runch Randa.
Sure. We could compliment JK. A lot of the BTS commenters actually do.
But we also see the 100s of comments that already do so - sometimes in a way that is way over the top and gives false impressions (sometimes even wrong).
Should we all - remember that most people do compliment him AND write about BTS - just repeat what every comment says? What would that help or change?
If I see 100s of comments that don't actually add anything new I skip them. Don't you?
This isn't a slight against JK. He is brilliant and *perfect* just the way he is (even if I'm under the impression a lot of his solos see only an ideal version of him instead of the multilayered person he is).
But he adds just as much or little as every other member of BTS to their success.
Try to watch boracity magazine's video essays like the one she made of why BTS signing a third contract was not a surprise.
💜
@ruthfischer7615 lol you clearly didn't listen to jk at all then. He said bts is important to him but his solo time is just as important if not more important. Go watch his interview with Zane Lowe for apple music. This music is part of his solo career not bts. It wouldn't be as obnoxious that you want more interest in bts rather than jk but like I said, your statement and others pushing bts couldn't even leave one complement for jk b4 shoving the group into everything. You're so quick to say jk is bts but yall ignore him and treat him as a stepping stone for the group. Any video of other members solo videos are full of complements to the artist first then maybe some recs of bts. But its the opposite for jk. Everyone rushes to talk about bts and other members without acknowledging jk. Your comment is proof. Fake fans
Why is your initial thought of this song is that it’s a cover? As you’ve said, you’ve never heard of the song, so why think it’s somebody else’s song? It clearly says in the title - Jungkook Standing Next
to You official mv. Genuine questions
Even I thought it was a cover of Michael Jackson, the song, the dance, and the whole style, completely MJ, until I was surprised when I read the comments and knew that it was not a cover.😅
Yep, just a homage to him! It was confirmed by his label. BTS loves to pay homage to a lot of artists that have inspired them. :) They did a rendition of "Born Sinner" by J. Cole and named it "Born Singer"...and their Proof Live 2022 Verizon of Born Singer is one of my fav.
Me encantó tu reacción! Por favor reacciona a jungkook en vivo!! Es sorprendente
Si es posible también reacciona a BTS Dyunisus!!!
I haven't seen a Mountaineer hat in a very long time! Hello! My home state! 😊
He's MAGA, so don't subscribe.
