chris

Yay! ps: mckay’s blushing 🤭

Cynthia Newman

I wish y'all would stop saying ARMY would be mad! REAL ARMY LOVE IU! She is Korea's Queen! I love that ur reacting to her! Also.... it's your reaction channel! Yes most of us are ARMY and we pay for this, but at the same time, we aren't horrible ungrateful toxic ppl! Most of us understand there is a world outside BTS for you to explore. Me , personally, I'm not a multi, I ONLY listen to BTS, but I also LOVE KDRAMAS! AND I LOVE IU! She is an AMAZING Actress/Artist! You can ONLY learn by expanding your pallet and diving in with an open mind. We aren't all hateful ppl. Most of us are understanding! You can react to whatever you want, let the toxic and haters see the door out of they can't be civil and understanding. I might not watch all of your video's that are not BTS related, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna be rude or hate on you! You can only learn by curiosity and genuine reactions

beannie

Hi! I just wanted to say that I really love IU, so this isn’t a complaint at all. I’m also genuinely happy for everyone who’s been waiting for reactions to their favorite solo artists or groups.💜 I was just wondering if it would be possible to let us know beforehand whether a video is BTS-related or not. I live in France, so uploads usually happen very late at night for me. If it’s BTS, I’ll happily stay up and watch right away. But if it’s not BTS, then I know I won’t be as invested in the reaction, so I’d honestly rather go to sleep and watch it later if I feel like it. Of course, you can react to whoever you want, and I’m sure a lot of people are excited when their favorite artists get featured. This is just a small request that would really help me manage my sleep schedule a bit better.🫶

Galiaa

We loveee iU

Sly

I love killing voices! You guys will love other groups who were on killing voice so I can’t wait for you guys to watch them! IU is so talented and has so many good songs, so glad you checked this out. These are really nice to watch if you want to discover new groups, helps you listen to songs and see their talent raw!

Kajal Kajal

IU’s song ‘Love wins all’ starring V is literally my fav song of hers. Her and V’s acting skills were amazing in that music video!!!! You guys need to check that asap.

SIM_X💜

So true and well explained

Bri 🦔

Fun fact at age 13 Jungkook auctioned for the Korean show ‘superstar k’ with IU song ‘Lost child’ which he later got scouted for by bighit

Jazzy_bear ⟭⟬

PLEASE REACT TO IUS LOVE WINS ALL MV. V FROM BTS IS IN IT AND THE SONG IS SO GOOD

7

OMG YES!NOT EXPECTING THIS BUT YES YES! i love IU’s voice and songs! this was such a good first video to watch of her thank you guys so much hope you react to IU LOVE WINS ALL MV AND EIGHT MV AS WELL❤️

Vivian Izabelle

Love IU, if you wish to see content with her and BTS, there’s the interviews in her channel with some of the BTS members, V, Suga and J-hope (IU’s Pallete), Suga also invited her for his show (Suchiwta), and there’s the MV for her song “Love wins all” with V on a acting role.

BTSU

Guys, can we please get longer videos? Waiting two days for a 20-minute video feels a little rough. 😭

Aya

Yeah this sums up how I feel too hopefully it’s not taken in a bad light but a schedule on what vids they will be watching would be great it makes everyone’s life a bit easier cause the time zones is really tiring since where I live it’s late and some people even later

Kookie

Jungkook has covered Ending Scene by IU check it out

NOELIA

Love wins all IU

Bri 🦔

IU - love wins all MV IU - Eight prod & ft Suga MV IU - ending scene (watch the lyric version not the mv…) IU Palette is her show where she invites artist. ( 3 memebers of bts were on there during solo promotions and other groups you previously reacted to) Suga has a drinking show called ‘Suchwita’ and IU is the guest on episode 24

munera

yay i'm excited for you to explore more of kpop outside of bts

Betsy

IU is such a down to earth, sweet, and adorable person that you can't help but love. She's beautiful inside and out and always stays humble. Her voice is heavenly. She's Korea's sister. I love all the jazzy tones of her music since jazz is one of my favorites. I knew ya'll would love Killing Voice. It's fun how they are mini concerts and lets you dive into the music if you're not familar with the artist or the group. It would be incredible if you guys watched her live performance of "My Sea." She looks like a whimsical princess on stage so ethereal... It's from her "Golden Hour" Concert. She never fails to blow me away by her sheer talent, beautiful, raw, and emotional vocals and her cute innocence with her gestures and mannerisms. She doesn't look her age. She looks a lot younger hehe due to her youthful appearance and she's petite. But yeah she's the queen of ballads. Her songs make your heart flutter and leaves you speechless... 🥰

yob

yes im here for only bts but its true, IU is the peoples princess❤️ we love her over here

E L

nice

Emrataaa

I just wanted to add something regarding the comment about ARMYs not being happy. Honestly, I think people sometimes assume that BTS fans automatically get upset whenever reactors cover other artists, but that's really not my experience at all. Personally, I'm genuinely happy for anyone who's been waiting for reactions to their favorite group or solo artist. Everyone who supports your channel deserves to get content they're excited about.🫶 A lot of us are BTS-focused simply because BTS are the artists we're most invested in. That doesn't mean we dislike other artists or expect you to only react to BTS. You should absolutely explore whatever music interests you and give your honest opinions. That's part of what makes reaction content enjoyable in the first place. I just think it's worth being careful with the stereotype that ARMYs are automatically toxic or possessive. Most of us are simply here because we love BTS. Being interested in BTS content doesn't mean we're upset when you react to other artists.💜

Luna

IU is basically a friend to the boys, we ARMY love IU, or at least I do 💜 she has a show IU's Pallete and J-hope, Suga, and Taehyung come out in it where she interviews them and they sing a few songs too. She shows up in Suga's Suchwita show where he interviews her. And yes, you should totally watch Perfect Crown 👑, she's sassy in that show, I absolutely loved it 💜, the first drama I ever saw her in was Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo. She has been in the industry for the majority of her life.

lau

this was such a great reaction thank you so much!

Mimi

YAYY!! YOU GUYS SHOULD WATCH KILLING VOICE MAMAMOO. THEY’RE SO GOOD🤩

RA

Omggg for the next killing voice you have to see Mamamoo !!!!

Betsy

It's such a beautiful song with a deep and powerful message.

Ana Paula

Don't get so caught up in supposed opinions. I love BTS and I'm here for them, but I would never be immature enough to sow hate and turn your experience into something heavy. Besides, all of BTS loves IU. She's super close to V and Suga and has worked with both of them. She's also interacted with other members. A large part of the ARMY isn't as rude as many people say. Yes, there are many immature people, but don't change or let that affect you. We want you to feel good and enjoy reacting to BTS.💜🇧🇷

Betsy

Now since ya'll did a Killing Voice, hope you can do Stray Kids Killing Voice sometime too haha Dingo Killing Voice sessions are so fun and exciting to watch and you can learn a lot about the personalities of each artist and group and see their versatility. There's so many great ones.

G. A

Mamamoo and seventeen are my favs killing voice sesions

Beth Edwards

I love when y'all branch out! Love to see that you're not trapped into one fandom! A lot of kpop creators tend to feel pressured by fans to only react to one group, so I'm glad you guys aren't! Killing voice would be an awesome way to see what groups/soloists you'd be interested in! If you do another one I'd suggest NCT 127 or NCT DREAM

Sarah

wow that was the first time I watched this she's so talented and her personality is like a little awkward but in a cute way😍now I wanna check out more of her stuff

Jo

Yesss!!! I have been asking for this since the channel started😩😩

Tiaf M

Everyone loves IU I don't know if she has a documentary, but I can tell you she’s a huge deal in Korea. Regarding her life and career, this Woman went through a rough childhood after her family drowned in debt. She had to live with her brother and grandmother in a tiny, freezing room infested with cockroaches, barely finding anything to eat and when she decided to sing to save her family, she got rejected by over 20 entertainment agencies and the worst of all she got scammed by fake companies that stole her grandma’s money, which she made from selling trinkets on the street! Even when she finally debuted in 2008 at just 15 years old, her first album completely flopped, and the crowd was literally heckling and insulting her during her debut stage, but In 2010, she broke the internet with her hit song 'Good Day' and paid off all her parents' debts. Today, as the one of the most successful solo artist in Korea, she holds the highest record for Perfect All-Kills in history (31 songs) and became the first Korean female solo artist to sell out the Seoul Olympic Stadium. Plus, she writes and produces her own music, she’s not just a singer. and her acting is on another leve if you watch her in My Mister or Hotel Del Luna or moon lovers, you’ll see how crazy talented she is.

Aya

It kind of gets old when their has to be warning every time for armys, every fandom has its toxic side trust me on this especially in kpop. A lot of armys love iu and also the members do too she even went to their concert. It would be nice if their isn’t a minute segment about the fandom and I also do think some people aren’t really complaining more so on the artist you’re going to react to but more so some of us don’t listen to these artist so it would be nice to know beforehand so we don’t stay up cause everyone has their top favs some would rather stay up some would rather not. Anyways love iu and can’t wait for you guys to know more about her

izzy

IU is really Korea's national singer!! If you want to dive into other idol actors you've seen in kdramas, i would HIGHLY recommend Park Jihoon (Sieun from Weak Hero!!), he just dropped a new song and he was a part of the boy group Wanna One (if i'm not wrong they will have a comeback soon and there are 2 other members who are also actors) and Lee Jun Young's song Bounce (he is Seongje is Weak Hero). They will blow your mind because of how different they are from their characters!!

Sarah

also I saw recently that yes she is actually acting in a new show called perfect crown that she's acting in w one of my fav actors so excited to start it!

humbleandkindness

I've honestly been waiting for this since the channel was announced,, IU is ICONIC. My personal favorite from her is definitely Secret Garden, but she also has a music video that V starred in with her and she featured on People Pt. 2 for Suga's second mixtape D-2!

izzy

Also, I'd love more Killing Voices!! Ones I'd strongly recommend if you want GREAT vocals are from these groups: BTOB, Red Velvet, EXO, Ateez and Big Mama (an older group). And I'd recommend NMIXX's Tiny Desk, they are probably the best girl group right now in terms of vocals. And if you want more of IU's personality she has a show and she hosted Suga, J-Hope and V already!

Betsy

Through the Night will never not be so beautiful to me. It makes me feel like a sense of calm is instantly washing over me. I have it downloaded on my phone and it's perfect to unwind after a stressful long day. It's the song you really liked a lot Carter.

Beth Edwards

If you guys want another soloist to react to for killing voice, TAEMIN (also in SHINEe) would be a great option! Let's of variety in genres and song styles, as well as an absolutely incredible voice! Same type of personality as IU lol. He's pretty timid for someone of his standing (often referred to as "your idol's idol, or the MJ of kpop)

Tiaf M

yes red velvet killing voices !!

Nari

Listen this is coming from someone that is a multi-stan but was first a BTS army. You guys are a K-pop channel so you guys are going to have different groups here at different times. That's how all reaction channels work for K-pop and it's totally fine there's no reason to justify your actions or should I say reactions. All good 👍🏼. We are not judging you, please feel free to listen to any group, or soloists you would like because yes there is a world outside of BTS and there are so many other groups/individuals to look forward to. Don't keep yourself in a BTS bubble please.

Are you a taco

Here after watching tangerines with yall

Madison

IU yayyy!!!

Betsy

That would be epic! I can see them vibing with a lot of NCT 127 and Dream's songs.

Betsy

Amen!!!! It feels polarizing when that's all the content that gets dropped especially as a multi-stan. There's so much for them to explore.

Milena

you guys should react to "Love Wins All" by IU!! she did the MV with V of BTS and the song is so beautiful that made me cry!!

sangoire

LOVE WINS ALL IU is a need!!

Sky

omgggg yessss

beannie

Taemin is literally MJ's son, w Shinee mention🗣

Joie Dianzon 🇵🇭

IU is close with some BTS Members: V, Suga, J-Hope. She did mention that she's a bit awkward when it comes to RM, and Jungkook has a big celebrity crush on her. She's probably one of the nicest and respectable celebrities in SK, no bad rumors or scandal when it comes to her character. You should react on the Eight MV and Love Wins All (with BTS V)

beannie

The things i would do for an nmixx reaction... literally give me anything

86 LilaS

Never saw killing Voice before. I think they would really enjoy watching The First Take videos.

Rebecca

Yall would love 2nd and 3rd gen discographies. Also every time I think of IU, I remember walking in on my roommate watching one of IU's concerts on bluray or something and she was just bawling her eyes out, in the dark. Such a good core memory

I’m Tired

bruhh we tried to tell ya'll all the collabs she's done with BTS, it's not just music either, they've done multiple solo interviews with each other

Betsy

McKay you're right, she is the goat!!!

Abi Ali

Suga has a show and IU went on as a guest! You guys might really like it <3

Nikita

LOL JK's crush on IU living on forever. 😆 Just so you guys know, he's mentioned her as his ideal type in an old show in 2016 when they were still teens. It's common to ask about someone's ideal type in Korean and Japanese culture. Other than that he's expressed being a big fan of hers and said that the first album he bought with his own money was hers. We don't really know how he feels about her now but I'm sure everyone in Korea is in love with her. I mean how can you not be? As far as we the public know, IU has an actor boyfriend and JK is rumored to be with one of the members of AESPA. (this is one of those cases where IU's relationship is public knowledge and everything's fine but JK's can't be confirmed because idols have a weird thing with dating lol 🤷🏼‍♀️) It would be crazy if they ended up together though. IU is known for her super long encores. She takes fan requests and can do concerts that are like 4-5hrs long. She's super generous to her fans. She did a big tour like a year or two ago and came to the US too. Also, Suga and IU are the same age and are pretty close friends. Idk if you guys read about Jimin and V but in Korea, being the same age makes people closer automatically based on their age. Since you have to speak with honorifics to people older than you or be more of an older brother/sister/etc figure to people younger than you, you can be more casual to people your own age so when people meet they ask what year they're born and form friendships based on age. IU has a show called Palette where she does interviews and sings and BTS members have appeared as guests on it. Suga also has a show called Suchwita and IU has appeared on that as well.

StackingSpaghettiSauce

Yeah! Let’s get some ladies on the channel! Aespa just had comeback hint hint

Harika Boggula

Oh my godd! Was expecting a BTS reaction but was so so pleasantly surprised! Guyss, we love IU. Feel free to react to anyone you guys want as it's your channel. You said you want to explore more about her career and music videos and her collaborations with BTS right? I'll suggest a few things for whenever you want to react to those. IU has a variety show called IU's Palette in which members SUGA, J-Hope, V appear as guests where she interviews and sings with them. Now intrestingly , she makes an appearance on SUGA's show where he interview's her about her career. It's called Suchwita. music video - 'love wins all' ( Mainly suggesting this cause the song is sooo good and so is the music video. V also acts in this, he doesn't sing but he's a good actor i would say) music collaborations with BTS - 1) Eight" by IU (Prod. & Feat. Suga) 2)People Pt. 2" by Agust D (feat. IU) These are all things that involve BTS. I've suggested what I know of. If anyone else has really good IU suggestions please feel free to add on. Love your reactions guys :)

sibbb

you can hear her live in those as well since you are curious!!!

Betsy

Taemin's Coachella performance was insane! I'm still not over it. He lives up to his name.

Nikita

They're not reading our comments 😔😭

beannie

I truly think she might be the most famous person in South Korea. I visited my ex-girlfriend's family in Korea twice back in 2023, and almost every person I was introduced to either spoke very highly of her or was a huge fan, she's like a princess there! lol

thisthisthat

Wait until they find out about her and BTS's collaborations

nqyw

Carter D. Andrus

We were kinda right tho cuz look at one of the first comments 😂😂

Nikita

Yesss I love Taemin. Went to his concert last year and it was amazing. He needs more recognition!

Carter D. Andrus

We are reading comments nikita let’s not spread misinformation😁we did this because we wanted to!! There is infinite time to do everything

Hemaa

Guys no objection at all. IU is a great singer but please give a notification beforehand so that we knows and we dont have to wait expecting to be bts. Kindly reuesting to give notification beforehand thats all Im asking for. THANKS Gek!

sofi ✿

yess anya! i’ve begging for Love Wins All and we also need the full version of Eight ft. SUGA 😔 those reactions would feed me for years

Nikita

Why not? lol I love New Jeans. Idk what's happening with them now but I was super excited about their music when they first got big. It was fun and refreshing. I've only seen/heard a few of Aespa's songs and I'm not that into their genre but the videos are really cool. As for Blackpink, I like some of their group songs but love all their solo content especially the recent releases.

Tiaf M

You're totally right, she really is like royalty there and It’s so cool that you got to witness her massive impact firsthand during your visits.

Mariama J.

We real ARMYs love IU 💜

Hyeunrby

IU write lyrics like a poet, just like Aesun🥺

Devyn ⁷ 🍉

Came immediately after watching your final reaction to when life gives you tangerines! Couldn't wait after hearing you said you'd react to some of her stuff! IU is considered koreas little sister if you want a title to give her

Betsy

Agreed!!! Aww I bet it was amazing. Glad you had a wonderful time. I can see the geks loving him and his music. He's such a legend!

Anya

Same sofi 🥹💜

Are you a taco

Just FYI for any offended Army - I like BTS. Just want some variety.

Nikita

HA! I got you to reply Carter. 😈 Lol I was joking. You guys are the most engaged with your Patreon community. I don't even comment on any other channels I follow.

isa

Killing Voice is great to discover kpop artists music, I love GOT7's one and Seventeen's is great too!!

G. A

We can’t call ourself kpop fans without listen at least one song of IU and not being whipped by her. Hope we get to see more GGs reactions

Nikita

Also, didn't say you guys shouldn't have done this or done the collabs with BTS instead. I loved the vid. OP was just saying ppl mentioned the collabs before. Also don't lump us chill Patreon ARMYs with the crazies on YouTube please. Although I get more excited for BTS content, I do enjoy exploring other Kpop content and artists with you guys too.

soybeanz11

Please react to more killing voice videos!!

blvemon

MAMAMOO too!

Sipporah

She’s in several dramas! Try Hotel Del Luna! Or Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo! Or!! My Mister! She’s the lead in all three.

sofi ✿

i feel like armys generally really like IU because (at least in my opinion) she’s such a talented artist and seems like a genuinely kind person! she also has a really sweet friendship with both V and SUGA, which probably helps ☺️ i don’t think it has anything to do with people shipping her and jk, especially since she’s been in a relationship with a very famous korean actor for years at this point!

sofi ✿

oh and Carter, the song you mentioned really liking is called Through the Night! honestly, the entire Palette album is fantastic, and you should definitely check it out sometime. Ending Scene and Dear Name are two other absolute gems from that album

Sky

i hope you guys watch more killing voices😭 this was fun!

Chamchi

you can see a bit of her personality when she guest starred in Suchwita (SUGA/Yoongi's drinking Youtube show) since it's super chill and in a relaxed setting. it's a great episode where they talk about her music, his music, and a little more in between. just like two friends catching up with each other.

John Paul

I fell in love with this woman during my teen’s and she hasn’t let me escape ever since. My heart is beating for this reaction come on winnggg!!

Mercy

Let your next video be a IU x BTS collab : 1. IU love wins all music video 2.IU’s palette with V 3. IU’s palette with Suga 4. Suga Suchwita video with IU (Ep 24)🙂🙃🙃🙃 this combo won’t be bad (you can throw in a JK x IU compilation for laughs🤣🤣🤣)

Chamchi

also, they both sang eight live in her own Youtube show (IU's Palette) when Yoongi was a guest

glosslane

No complaints whatsoever - bow down, it's Queen IU's time! 👑💜

JiAnn

As an IU fan, I can definitely vouch for her live performances.. there's a bunch of it in her YT channel, the latest ones are from her The Winning album, like "Shopper, Love Wins All, Hollsi, Sssh and I Stan U", others that are definitely worth watching are "Blueming, Hold My Hand, Eight, My Sea" and so much more.. 🥰 And if you want to know about her personality, you can start with her guesting in Suchwita, and also BTS's members guesting on her YT show, Palette.. 🥰

ema

i hope we get another iu video soon. hopfully the winning album.

Mandyyy

Please react to Iu in Suchwita ep 24 it’s an interview hosted by Suga where you can hear a little bit of her history. 🥰

bowie is tired

great reaction this was one of the best killing voices imo

Mandyyy

Please can you react to Love Wins All Mv and behind the scene ?

soybeanz11

Please consider reacting to Sung si kyung, Taeyeon, Big mama, Exo, and Jannabi killing voices!!

julian

Need more of this, bts is amazing but i want to see the geks check out what else kpop has to offer

Devyn ⁷ 🍉

Fast rundown of IU if you dont want to find a guide or if no one else said anything about her yet! She actually debuted in 2008, at age 15, she didn't become popular until 2010 when she came out with Good Day (you should react to it!) It made her a big star, even gaining the title of Korea's little sister with how well-liked she was by the general public. A lot of her songs are along the lines of ballads, pop, and jazz. She is known for being a singer-songwriter as well! I compare he to a Korean Adele as she lists her age in many of her songs. Tons of awards to her name- a force to be reckoned with on the Korean charts for sure Yes, she still tours and releases music! Her latest album is A Flower Bookmark pt 3, which is a titled series she does covering old songs! She started acting in 2011 in the Dream High series (its bad dont watch it lol). Didn't act again until 2016 in Scarlet Heart Ryeo (good) and then a bunch of other shows since then! She always gives off the calm and down-to-earth personality. I haven't seen many people describe her in any other way really

raidahh

I know you guys said you are focusing on BTS for now but since you just watched a killing voice, maybe soon or later you could watch a few more. killing voices are great for both getting the gist of the sound of a group or artist and a glimpse of their personality. I recommend ATEEZ, ENHYPEN, Stray Kids, EXO, and TWICE(lol it's clear i'm not a girl group stan) i think they could help you choose the next group you decide to fully get into. 

raidahh

I just read through the comments and a few ppl are talking about your army disclaimer comment and how you don't need to say it but i think it's fine if you do because it is real. some fans will get mad and throw hate if you don't react to BTS. I think it is ok to be upset or sad that one of your favs doesn't get a video this week but what is not ok is hating on the geks or the artist in the content that is uploaded instead.

Rice

I'm really happy to get an IU reaction, and you guys NEED to react to Love Wins All by her, V stars in the MV!

Leenah B

IU is a great MC too! She’s invited Suga, Jhope, and V on her show

CuteBean

Just want to add, IU isn't K-pop. K-pop is a specific industry, so not every korean singer is K-pop.

raidahh

also a lot of ppl are asking if you guys could upload a schedule of what videos will be uploaded each week. I very much enjoy your reactions but i prefer to know what I will be seeing since for me the videos are uploaded a bit late. your videos are like a late night treat. i'm also just the type of person that likes to know what to expect and a schedule will ensure that. I think you guys can watch whatever you want, i just would like to know what you/we are watching.  (slight rant incoming below) I hate to say it like this but we are paying for this content and I would like to see you react to stuff that I like. if you plan on watching something that I am not really interested in, then weekly or monthly schedule can help me plan accordingly. i'm sure you guys also have subscriptions and wouldn't want to pay for something that doesn't interest you. I want to make this clear—This is NOT a threat. don't listen to me if you don't want to. BTS and a lot of other groups interest me so i do plan on staying. personally i'm not the biggest fan of IU's music like if it was on, I would listen and bop, but i wouldn't add to my playlist. I just watched her new show Perfect Crown and it was great, one of my fav dramas of this year but IU doesn't interest me in terms of watching long term content for her. i don't mind a video here and there, but a deep dive wouldn't interest me. i am also just one person so if i end my subscription, it doesn't matter as I don't think it would hurt you. sorry i just went on a whole rant. I don't mean to come off rude, i am sorry if i do, i just want to be clear about my stance on some things.

Lizzy

Mostly echoing everyone else but if you wanna double dip IU and BTS content, you could react to Eight, People pt 2, and Love Wins All. There is also IU on Suchwita, which is a fun watch! Loving all of this content, thank you for sharing ☺️

Betsy

Also if you all choose to do another killing voice with a group next time hopefully, it would be cool if y'all maybe told which songs were your favorite or stood out the most along with which member caught your eye since you're not familar with all the names, you can say which spot they are located in or what kind of outfit they have on to help identify them. This way the video could be a little longer. Because lets face it, 20 minutes goes by way too fast 😭 And a lot of reactors do this. It would be a lot of fun.

yearlywise

Speaking as a Korean and as an ex-ARMY, I feel like a lot of ARMYs (especially the newer fans who only listen to them and no one else) have a hard time grasping that BTS— as talented and as huge as they are— are the accumulated product of a massive, shifting musical landscape fleshed out by senior acts. BTS themselves have enormous respect for the amazing people who came before them and unanimously cherish their juniors, so I think it’s important that the minority in the comments getting mad at the Geks for trying out other artists start following their example. As much as I respect them and am grateful to them for shaping my adolescence, there’s so much more to KPOP and Korean music in general than BTS. Also: as a woman, I think it’s insanely reductive to describe an absolutely meteoric singer like IU in relation to her (imo tenuous) connection to a group of men. She’s been around for almost 20 years without slipping for God’s sake, and her music has singlehandedly shaped sooooo many lives and set so many industry standards. See her for who she is in her own right, NOT by her relationships. Give her the respect she deserves.

Nikita

If you guys do another Killing Voice please do Seventeen first. 캐럿입니다 has been requesting it since the dawn of time and waiting patiently. I don't even know a thing about them except the one video you watched but I want to support her dreams 🧚‍♀️✨️

Jo

“I wanna know her personality” well boom, she has a talk show ( IUs palette) where she has conversations and sings with different kpop stars/actors ( including bts members)

maysiow

watch her collab with suga and iu on suchwita

Betsy

Agreed! Actually I have too. We've been manifesting it like crazy for Seventeen and ATEEZ Killing Voice but I added Stray Kids to the mix 😂

Nikita

I don't get where you got the idea that ppl weren't respecting her as a great artist herself outside of her connection to BTS or others. Most ppl and ARMY here know she's huge.

Nikita

Yess I've seen you mention it as well 😊 Hopefully soon

yearlywise

Some people in the comments were going at the Geks for trying out non-BTS content (see Carter’s response to the top comment). Beyond that, I personally don’t think it’s respectful to constantly cite her professional relationship to BTS in a video that’s literally about her and her career alone!

shradha

I actually got into K-Pop through IU! 😄 I was aware of BTS and listened to BST, Fake Love etc. (The hits before the hits) but I wasn't into the lore. Watched Life gives you tangerines, fell in love with IU, saw she was a singer and made a MV with BTS V and made a song with Suga so thought of getting deeper into BTS. Have become a super fan since! 🥰🥰

Betsy

Yes please, she deserves to have her dreams come true 💕

Maria

I 100% agree on the schedule part! It’s not rude at all. I would want to know what I’m looking forward to and if it’s anything that interests me!

yearlywise

For a live performance from her, I really really really reallyyyyy recommend her Hold My Hand live from her 2019 Blueming tour! It’ll give you an idea of just how bigggg she is in Korea and also of her charisma on stage!! https://youtu.be/3iM_06QeZi8?si=CPZB4oybmSXNflEH

ria

there aren’t any negative comments tho? if that’s about “oo i was waiting for bts video😅” I don’t think it counts lol

Nikita

Idk if I'm not seeing those comments or not sure which ones you're referring to. I don't really know which one Carter was referring to either. I only saw one person saying "oh I was expecting BTS" which is not even mildly controversial if you ask me. Yeah it's kinda unnecessary to say but not that crazy considering 95% of the content has been BTS. I also understand the ppl requesting a schedule since they have different time zones. It's not something to be shamed for if you don't have as much interest in one artist as you do the other. Just because IU might not be everyone's cup of tea doesn't mean it diminishes her impact or worth as an artist. Many ppl aren't into Adele or Beyonce for example. Doesn't really change their talent or their influence on future artists and the music industry. As for those who are requesting content with members of BTS, it's only common sense ppl who are watching a channel that's been focusing on BTS to do a mashup of the new and old. I'm sure everyone, myself included, would love to know of IU's amazing solo performances and songs so it would be nicer to suggest a list of songs or performances for the Geks do those as an IU fan rather than chastise ppl for not knowing any better.

ria

Carter was talking about only one comment tho+ i’m genuinely confused about which one he means because I went through all the comments here and there wasn’t a single negative one

Eli Mollo

Same! i enjoy all their content, but if i know its BTS, i get my hopes up and wait all day for the update, while for other groups it's fine to watch it later. I know they didn't say today was a BTS video, but also that's why it would be nice to have a schedule

gaby

please dont just do bts lmao there so much great artists i love the IU vid!!

SammiewiththebigT

Eight is such a sad song, because it’s a tribute to the friends she lost.

Nikita

I agree ria

kai

yall should definitely do more killing voices if you want to discover more groups/soloist’s discographies easily

Aya

Thats a few over hundreds who actually do like iu its not fair just to look at the negative side, i just think people were expecting bts because theres no notice given to us in this channel so i think its okay if some people felt a bit disappointed and waited for a vid they didnt know was coming😭

yearlywise

@Nikita I’m sorry that you feel chastised; that wasn’t my intention. I’m an IU fan in the way people in the west are Coldplay or Radiohead fans. She’s a cultural icon who shaped the childhoods of countless Korean kids like myself, which means I inevitably know and like her stuff, but I wouldn’t necessarily identify as a dedicated Uaena. Anyway, I guess that just where we’re different: if I want to know about something, I try to learn more about it on my own, and if a reaction channel is discussing an artist I don’t know very well, I would think it tactless to mention an unrelated group. I wasn’t shaming anyone for not being interested in her— I was simply pointing out that it’s insanely obnoxious to constantly and incessantly bring up BTS when again, the video is about *IU* and her career. I would react the same way if this reaction was about StrayKids, and I don’t even like their music lmao

Honey⑦

well I as a current and always -Army and many more i know got to know IU thru jk and have been her fans since. We know how much the members respect her and how extremely talented she is. Anyone who likes BTS likes music and in no way would discredit IU so maybe you got on the wrong side of the fandom. I have always heard good things about her as long as i have been a fan.

Honey⑦

Although m here only for BTS, I wont ever complain about an IU video lol. She is THE GOAT. Her songwriting skills are as good as her voice. I would recommend Love wins all- where V acts in the MV with her and the behind the scenes+Eight by IU produced by suga and suga has a feature in it too+ IU pallete is her talk show where JHope,Suga and V were guests + she was a guest on suchwita hosted by suga(his talk show kinda, you can react to that as weel,its very informative about the members ).

chris

Carter, it’s more to do with our expectations and the drop timings, we thought we’d be getting bangtan content, 80% of us here are ARMYs probably, not saying we have the right to only bangtan content you all have clarified you want to experience all of k industry and that’s great, it’s the waiting and getting a non bts content that slightly causes people to drop not so hate, hate comments, different timezones doesn’t help, if you’d be so kind to drop hints earlier we would calm the f down. ps: mckay’s been saying he wants to watch iu content since forever so we get it. and it’s the generalisation with some, another reason for this comment. 😹

yearlywise

@Honey I appreciate your response. I became an ARMY in 2016, so I’d wager that I know the fandom a lot better than most of the people here. To my understanding, many international ARMYs were introduced to KPOP through BTS, so I do get why they’re so prone to viewing the industry in reference to them. Many of the fans I’ve met have meant well— as a former ARMY myself, I recognize that the fandom’s grown too big to have one definable characteristic— but that hasn’t stopped me from feeling frustrated by them nonetheless. Idk, I just don’t understand how people can think that bringing BTS into discussions about other artists *isn’t* discrediting those artists. For example, I’m a casual fan of the indie band 92914. A few years back, I was mindlessly scrolling through the comments section under “Okinawa,” one of the band’s most successful tracks; at one point, I realized that a solid 50% of the newest comments said smth to the effect of “BTS Jimin brought me here.” Like. Is that really all they had to say?? 😭 That’s the main bone I have to pick with the comments under this video. It’s genuinely fineeee to not know much about IU beyond her fame. Really. It’s fine. I’d rather people just own that instead of parroting the same old BTS-pilled talking points that she’s “close friends with Suga and did a song with him,” that “V was in her mv for Love Wins All,” or worse, that “JK used to have a crush on her.” When I said “respect[ing] her in her own right” in my og comment, I didn’t mean that the people here are hating on her or whatever— I meant that they’re talking about her in relation to someone other than herself, when they could at least have the common sense to comment on idk.. her music?? Her voice?? Her being sick when she filmed this yet still powering through??? idk man

the shower

SO I came from the wlgyt reaction and I’m an iu fan (only stan her haha) so since yall asked for a guide i can recommend you this one : https://youtu.be/i9p4CyfQuCI?is=5QNBneDJB7npuVy4 (this one is an unhelpful 5min guide so it will not be THAT deep but you will see more “factual” sides of her career but my FAV documentary is definitely this one https://youtu.be/OV2UWdnPO84?is=eB6YxF17sm3CGi-2 (you will we sm more side of her personality, of her struggles as an artist from the beginning to the end highly recommend this !!!!!!!!) as for the live performances I recommend you to start with her collabs with the bts members since yall are already into them ☺️ first the eight music video https://youtu.be/OV2UWdnPO84?is=eB6YxF17sm3CGi-2 (with the explanation if possible, it will change the way you see this song 🫣) + !!!!!! THE LIVE PERFORMANCES KDKSKSNDNNS https://youtu.be/Cxzzg7L3Xgc?is=qzAankZE2EWZ0o_w (so good it’s a must). Then the Love wins All music video (starting V as an actor) https://youtu.be/Cxzzg7L3Xgc?is=qzAankZE2EWZ0o_w and plz react to THIS live performance https://youtu.be/-_14Lhw0y1A?is=4JKwDLFUaaqxtFbb (there’s another one more popular bc it came our first but this one is sm better in quality, she herself said it’s one of her favourite performance) you can also watch the recording video of this song if you want ☺️. Since the 2 I recommended are linked to a bts member and more of a ballad/soft songs if you want to explore another song more popy I recommend lilac ! It was a huge hit in TikTok and everywhere few years ago. I will be watching your iu reactions from now on and try to recommend you good stuff abt her (been a fan for 7years now). She also have a full album coming out in sep-oct-nov? wdk yet I hope yall will be turned in for your first iu comeback as a singer !!! (Sorry if I made any mistakes English is not my native language haha and I hope yall will see this comment 🥹) have a nice day!!

floo

Y'all need to watch love wins all and celebrity

Hyeunrby

Haha FINALLY IU!

m-flo

IU Show with Jay Park and GANADARA would be so much fun omg

Liv

She has a talk show where she has interviewed jhope, suga, and V. She was also on suchwita (suga's talk show). This one is more laid back and you can see her personality more

캐럿입니다 💎

Please consider Seventeen and Ateez Dingo Killing Voice next!!!!! Please 🥺 Please guys if possible watch it for Friday's video!! Both groups do such a good job over there. Seventeen performed in 2022 and Ateez in 2024.

yearlywise

I feel like a lot of them have a tendency to say that fans who hate on so-and-so aren’t “real” Armys, but they forget that ARMY as a fandom has gotten so big that differentiating between “real” and “fake” fans is kinda pointless. Imo Armys are people who are fans of BTS: nothing more, nothing less. Some of them are lovely, genuinely kindhearted people who follow OT7’s example, and others are insanely misogynistic lunatics who have no business being online. The three groups you mentioned are common targets of the latter faction’s ire, especially following V and JK’s dating rumors w Jennie and Winter respectively.

Tivy

I love IU and WLGYT, so I’m glad you are checking her music out! My only recommendation is to maybe post a schedule at the beginning of each week. Most channels do this as a way to manage people’s expectations. I think it’s especially important for you guys to consider as you do drop reactions fairly late, and I know a lot of people stay up out of anticipation. Just something to think about :)

캐럿입니다 💎

Thank you so much for noticing!! 🥺🥺 I really don't want to sound annoying so i mostly post my comment very late you know. I don't want to rain on the BTS parade because I also love watching those videos!! But I am dying here 😭😭

Tivy

Next time I recommend the “Love Wins All” MV, it’s sooo good! And V is her screen partner in it 😉

Hyeunrby

She went to the casino clearly Lmao Carter😂

캐럿입니다 💎

Carter, what about my comments!!!! 😭😭 My comment requesting Seventeen and Ateez Dingo Killing Voice has been ignored all the time!! For 2 months since the channel started I have been requesting these 2 videos!!! Please this month if possible watch these 2 videos!!!!

If that isn’t reductive, I don’t know what is.

no “good day” sadge

mina

i didn't even know iu had a killing voice!! sweet🤩

yearlywise

She was sick the day she filmed this, so her throat probably wasn’t in the best condition to pull off that 3-octave note lol! I hope the Geks react to it + You and I + Red Shoes

Nikita

@yearlywise No need to apologize. I get you, trust me. I've actually looked up her live performances on my own before and I know she can outsing anyone in BTS and many western artists. I also have a Korean friend who's a huge IU fan too so I know she is super loved. Personally, I don't feel a strong pull to her as I do to some other artists. For example, I love soloists like BIBI and Sunmi just based on the vibes. I'm not a hardcore fan but I follow their music more. I don't know too much of IU's discography but "Love Wins All" makes me tear up no matter how many times I've heard it. And that's not just because the song is sad but her voice and delivery perfectly embodies the emotions in the song. IU is someone I have to be in the mood for to listen to. She has a very classic singing voice. I would love for you to recommend some songs from her to check out. Some artists and songs I love discovering through channels like this instead of researching myself because the community is fun and the Geks are fun to watch. I learn a lot from ppl's comments too so I'm excited to learn more about IU and others from this channel. Generally, I agree that it's super annoying when ppl always bring up BTS or an unrelated artist when the focus of the video is someone else but in this case I just think the ppl in the comments aren't wrong in bringing BTS up since the Geks are still on a BTS journey and they themselves were talking about their collab in the video. That's all.

Nikita

I was thinking she seemed like she was sick. She's usually more cheerful I feel like. I saw a behind the scenes video too in the past where she was recording her album sick and she kept pushing herself to hit the notes over and over. Felt so bad 😕

Nikita

Haha! No problem. 😄 I feel the same way about them doing The Rise of Bangtan so I get you. I'm rooting for you! 🙌

Tivy

Just finding out she was sick during this yet she can still sing like that 😭 wtf

yearlywise

Thx for the levelheaded reply! Here’s some recs as requested: Good Day + You and I + the Red Shoes | I’m grouping these tracks as a set to give you a sense of what her early sound was like (also all of them— especially Good Day’s three-octave note— are iconic. The first verse of Red Shoes is a meme in Korea for when people get lost lol). Modern Times, the album the Red Shoes was in, is a good time if you’re interested. A Flower Bookmark (2014) | Her first remake album of Korean classics from the 80’s to 90’s. She’s got three of these, but the first one really hits the spot for me. This album was really well received, which explains why a lot of international fans mistake these songs to be IU originals. Chatshire (2015) | My first IU album, but also a really seminal point in her career as a whole. “Twenty-Three” is now widely understood to be her response to the public hate campaign against her at the time (and will likely be my personal anthem once I become 23). “Knees” is an especially beautiful example of her songwriting; the whole EP in general is great ! dlwlrma (2017) | no skips for me personally. Dear Name and Ending Scene kill me. Love Poem | This is a ballad from her last album that fully did it for me, Love Poem (2019). I hope this is helpful !

Tivy

Literally what can IU not do 😭 she’s soooo multi-talented it’s insane

22:21 she already has a boyfriend cannon hahahaha it's one of my favorote actors, lee jongsuk!

We don’t ship IU with jungkook hahah she has a boyfriend and he is a popular actor too

Nikita

Cool! Thanks. I'm gonna check all that out tomorrow. 😊🎶 Lol I was reading your other reply the "Jimin brought me here" is funny 😆 I mean he did bring me to that song too. Ppl just letting that indie band know why they might get a random surge of streams/views haha 😄 I also get annoyed at the "brought me here" comments lol but ppl write that everywhere now. "Tiktok brought me here" is everywhere. I see it on the songs I grew up with now since old millennial songs started trending on Tiktok. If you don't mind me asking, what made you ex-ARMY?

Nadine Felscher

Stray kids killing voice next please 🙏🥺

I love iu! So happy that you reacted to her. From killing voice u also need to see ateez. Its another world!

AlwaysAir

Ohhh Moon lovers is a true heart breaker. They would suffer lmao

r 🎀

now that u guys know what killing voice is, i hope u guys consider reacting to seventeen and ateez killing voice soon!!

yearlywise

@Nikita Yeahhh, I’ve noticed people saying “TikTok brought me here”— I know why people say it, but it annoys me all the same lol. Maybe it’s because I grew up following artists who attract droves of “fans” who only like them by association (e.g., before AKMU left YG, their comments sections were infested with company stans). Good question. I had no issue with BTS as people (and I still don’t). I owe them a lot for pulling me through my teenage years, and I still look back on 2016 - 2019 especially fondly. Imo that era was really the best time to be an Army. I think the main reason I left the fandom was because of a) the music and b) the fans. Musically, yes, I was one of those people who weren’t able to survive the English Trilogy (…my friends make a point to sing them during karaoke just to spite me), so I was sooooo vindicated when I learned Jin also hated it 😭. Fandom-wise, I got overwhelmed by the influx of new fans during the pandemic + REALLY tired of old fans becoming the living embodiment of the “die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain” quote. I felt like a lot of Armys were getting way too comfortable weaponizing BTS’ difficult beginnings and insane fame against other fandoms; I’m not saying those fandoms were innocent obviously, but I had the eyes to see that Armys weren’t just punching up anymore. Even when I was a hardcore Army, I still listened to other artists (old and new), so I was really turned off by the reigning belief that BTS “paved the way”/were “more than” Kpop. The debates about their military service hadn’t started then, but when I caught wind of them later on, I felt like the opposition to BTS fulfilling their duty was founded on the same belief that drove me from the fandom: the idea that they’re somehow “better” than the social circumstances and precedents that led to them. Also: as a woman, I got disgusted by a very loud vocal minority in the fandom who were using BTS’ fame as an excuse to attack and insult female idols. This in no way is a problem exclusive to Armys alone; since leaving the fandom, I’ve realized that internalized misogyny is basically a given in Kpop online spaces… which is why I’ve largely pulled back from them completely. And finally (and I’m aware this is a petty reason), I just got annoyed by how a lot of Armys perpetually live in the past. Like okay girl, yeah, EXO-L’s used to bully us a lot. So what? BTS literally swept the MMA awards last week. Move on. Ancient jokes like “Jimin, you got no jams” and “hey, stob it” were so overused they made me cringe. And why the actual heck are people STILL bringing up Jungkook having a crush on IU in 2026???? That was in 2014 jesus CHRIST— Sorry this was long lol but those are my reasons. I don’t have issues with individual Armys; I’m just very done with the overall vibes of the fandom and no longer have the strength of mind to give it another go :)…

tangerine⁷

Love you guys reacting to IU. I don't mind other groups or artists here. Personally being a army I just don't like when we are mentioned everytime on disclaimer like we are ready to hunt down for a slightest reason. That's not the case. Any fandom can have negative side. We are also built with a supportive and positive people. So please placing such a image on the fandom makes us sad. You guys can do whatever you want without mentioning the toxicity. I would watch with my open minded. Having a schedule would definitely be better because I usually wait for the drop for my interest videos. Thankyou

Pluto

IU with suga IU with V Suga on IU pallets IU on suchita and don’t forget rest of the members solo please. I’m waiting for RM solo 🙂

tangerine⁷

Fr This makes it feel less genuine. Like the people are only being careful on the fear of army. That's something I been hating with new reactors. I like these guys but not everything is about army. Just enjoy learning the guys and other artists.

Pluto

No problem in branching out and content outside BTS but Pre notification beforehand will be nice since I was waiting for BTS . And ya IU is amazing ❤️

tangerine⁷

Could you guys react to bts festa 2021?? Or respect your seniors and mock your juniors by boracity guide

Ana

Seventeen killing voice please 🙏

Also you have to react to TXT!! They are in the same company as BTS -Big Hit- and sometimes even called BTS' younger brother.

Yasmine

OMG YES I LOVE IU❤️ I wouldn’t mind more IU, music videos next? 🥳

Audrey

BTS fans are just going to have to get over it if they are mad when you post other artists. TBH I am here for the other artists besides BTS

katie_belle⁷ ⟭⟬

SUGA had his own talk show before he enlisted in the military called "Suchwita", where he would chat with guests over food and drinks. IU was one of his guests, so you get two legends in one show. You should definitely check it out to see more of her personality and her chemistry with SUGA as friends. ARMYs love IU! She's collaborated with SUGA twice, and she's also close with V, she had him star in one of her music videos. You should check that out too — "Love Wins All" MV 😊

Noha⁷

whose mad?

Noha⁷

I feel like they don't really think much of us sometimes. I understand why but I wish they don't have to put disclaimers on every video or think we'll get upset by them giving their opinion.

Yasmine

Yess omggg, they’ll get to see how she actually is like

Yasmine

Omg YESS

Ana

Seventeen killing voice yesss please 🙏

Aya

Some of the reactors who’ve never done this are triple take CCW and my guy Jino. This man was so strict when it came to bts and didn’t understand the hype but years after reacting even if he doesn’t want to call himself an army he still stays up for us for concerts and translates bts lives and always thanks us and says he wants to give back the love we gave him and it’s just really nice for our fandom to be appreciated without only looking at the toxic side. I’m proud of our fandom we have some of the best people in it and are even nicer in person all the toxic side comes from online wish people see beyond that

Yasmine

I can’t believe you guys chose to watch IU sooner than later 🥹❤️ it’d love to see Suchwita (suga’s show) guest starring IU, any concert performances and music videos please omgg… we love IU over here

Aya

Yall are the ones absolutely doing the most I haven’t seen even one comment saying anything bad about IU she’s an amazing artist, people just want a schedule for the vids they’re putting out so the viewers know if they should stay up or not and that’s not a ridiculous thing to ask from them. I’m seeing a lot of multi Stan’s trying to dismiss bts saying there’s more to kpop than BTS when no one said bts is the only group they should focus on it’s getting quite ridiculous in the comments

Audrey

To answer some questions: Yes, IU is actually planning to release a new album this year and a concert. She's not married, but she has been publicly been dating the famous actor and her longtime friend Lee Jongsuk since 2022.

캐럿입니다 💎

Please consider Seventeen and Ateez Dingo Killing Voice next!!!!!!!! It's been a month since you guys did any other groups!!! And please if you could can we get some patreon exclusive content!!!

emanuela

@audrey what y’all on about i literally didn’t see any negative comment? am I the only one?🧍🏻‍♀️and I think its fair that they should post a schedule so I know when I can stay up waiting or not

Leila

I love whenever u guys do other reactions, at the end of the day it's called GeK-Pop. I think u guys should react to whatever u want to see or what piques your interest. Or u could do fixed days where u react only to BTS and other days where u do different groups I think that would make everyone happy :) And if your interested I recommend Seventeen's Killing Voice it's amazing. 💎💜

Reema

She have song with V

ruejen

She also has a Youtube music show called Palette. She had Bogum as a guest that you might enjoy. Some of the boys were also guests

Jo

Betsy

Exactly, Jo. And I've been a multi for a long time as well maybe since 2017 and it's refreshing to see variety on this channel 🥺

Betsy

Yes please!!! We can do this! Lets manifest even more haha Seventeen and ATEEZ Killing Voice please guys 🎶🎙

Meri

Got7 killing voice next🙏🙏

Betsy

Yes Nadine, you tell them! Haha please consider doing Stray Kids Killing Voice! I promise you'll love it 😭

Betsy

It's sooo good! Their mind would be blown 😭

Menma

yes, suchwita is a nice setting too since they converse while drinking alcohol (though IU didn't bring alcohol for her episode haha)

mina

EXO and NMIXX are a must they’re so good!!

Noha⁷

literally everyone is being supportive and loves IU. I don't understand the condescending comments (mostly multis) trying to make armys look bad and make something out of nothing

its me abeer

guys go for whatever u want don't worry about extreme army fans they're literally just crazy ppl u guys always look like ur scared to be canceled or something and avoid saying pretty normal stuff just don't worry feel free its ur channel wth

its me abeer

lets chill out they said in the beginning something about hoping bts fans are not mad this is not a bts video

I’m Maya

React to IU - Love wins, Eight, lilac mv plssss

Totaa

Sorry here for bts only 💜

Noha⁷

maybe im being dramatic I feel like people are just making up these hate comments to try and make armys look bad. like yes we like/listen to other artists and we love IU. you aren't better because you're a multi lol

shazt

To get to know her better watch her interview on Suchwita with Suga

Betsy

We are just saying it's nice to see other content outside of BTS. Sorry Noha, I was mainly referring to the ARMY on YouTube that keeps saying, "Only do BTS." It's nice to see something different since it's a K-pop channel after all. Us multi are just ready to see different groups along with their BTS videos such as have one day either Monday or Friday to explore more groups and artists. That way it's more fair to other fandoms.

saida

the day they react to exo’s killing voice will be a very good day indeed!

Noha⁷

I get that especially they've been doing bts for a while but I just find the whole army are crazy narrative just annoying. the it's called gek-pop not gek-bts comment is just rude and not needed. like just mention your own groups what do you get from being all patrionsing. I'm just talking about armys on patreon cause the youtube ones are just irritating

Nanami's Wife

I just looked thru the comments and didn’t see any negative one. If there was, the one comment shouldn’t be the focal point bc 99% of the comments are happy and positive. And if anyone is disappointed, that’s also fine too. People are allowed to feel that way and it isn’t negative. I feel like some comments are trying to make it seem like Armies are mad, but we're not😭 We gotta give Armies more credit😭. Idk how it is in the YouTube comments, but I only met toxic armies on Twitter. Other than that, online and in-person I’ve met really nice armies (ex: like this Patreon 😭😂)

Jo

Noha hun…I’ve literally been requesting bts videos since the start of this channel. Been an army for YEARSS so this is no hate at ALL. Sorry if it came off wrong but I just talk very sarcastically and it is what it is I guess 😊

No dw, we love IU. You should listen to the full version of her song "Eight" ft. SUGA. It's a song for her bestfriends, Sulli and Hara (maybe Jonghyun too), who unfortunately died by taking their own because of the hate they received from the public. So the song is a message to her friends, but it's also calling out the haters. there is also her song "peach" about sulli

chris

exactly, twitter toxic armys and solos are insane lol, wanted to burn my corneas with the amount of hate and crap they spew, oh threads’ like that too, deleted it in an hour or so. everyone here’s pretty chill, and finally a patreon where it’s not a solo fest, the geks are cool about all the members, LOVE the hobi appreciation. i’m excited for updates and idk comfy to blabber.

Elmo

I think the issue is, those types of comments are SO in the minority (and so mild at that), that they are worth simply ignoring, and not worth all of the disclaimers and discussions surrounding them. Literally a drop in a 5 gallon bucket.

Kpop Club

Love your reaction! Do not worry about army comments on your reactions to other groups/soloist, personally I love it

Hannah Lee

I usually listen IU's "Love wins all" after WLGYT ep.11, the episode of the Young-beom's mom and their break-up, then I feel better.. IU is my bias since her debut. Thanks for the reaction video!

Noha⁷

So is this the permanent studio for reactions on both channels?

Aaaaaa

lol if yall wanna know more on her personality, there are a lot of “IU being IU/unhinged compilations” she has very dry humor 😂

S Moonchild⁷

I love IU's voice, acting and personality, but her songs are not my type I guess. The only song in my playlist is "eight", because of emotional message it has. She is the same age as Yoongi, so 93. JK had on crush on her, but strangely he never interacted with her, only Yoongi Hobi and Tae. And now she is married, so Kookie lost his chance.

Dreamer

LOL, honestly, you can react to whatever you want. I can choose what to watch from you guys, too. I am an ARMY. I'm over the stupid overeating comments about armys this army that, yes we are here for bts and we will watch only bts content, but we don't stop anyone from reacting to what they want. That's other people trying to make us look like we're the typical toxic fandom. I personally listen to a lot more music outside BTS, but nothing is K-pop because I don't like it. It has nothing to do with the visuals, the music, and whatever else. It's just not my thing, and I have watched enough. And no, I'm not close-minded because I do have favorite Chanise singers, Japanese singers, Iranian singers, Italian singers, and from all over the world, and my fave genres are metal and classical. Anyway, so yeah, you guys keep reacting to whatever you see fit and don't apologize for it, but in the end, the subscribers have the right to comment right, there's nothing wrong with saying what they like or don't like, but the ones that don't like 100% armys like to instigate to turn everything negative. Oh crap, I'll be hated too 😂

Taetaele

Most of the subscribers are ARMY, and honestly, you’re putting a lot of attention on the negative side when 90% of the comments are supportive. That perspective doesn’t really make sense to me, because you’re giving disproportionate weight to a small minority. Who exactly are you calling out? The 10%? Over time, this starts to become frustrating. It also doesn’t help that the uploads are random and there’s no schedule. And, personally, I don’t think three videos a week are enough for the price. To compare, there are two other well-known BTS reaction channels that charge about the same as you do, but both upload six days out of seven, and they also run multiple channels. Of course, you can do whatever you want. My point is simply that, in my opinion, you’re the ones contributing to this idea of a “toxic ARMY” mentality, or at the very least exaggerating it.

Taetaele

I hope to see some improvements over time, because I genuinely like you as people. However, I think there’s a lack of organization right now, and a shift in mindset would be beneficial. I’d also like to clarify that I’m not saying you should only react to BTS. But it’s important to acknowledge that, at the moment, the majority of the community is made up of ARMY. That’s why, as other people have pointed out, there should be a clear warning or description about the type of reactions you plan to focus on, so people can make an informed decision about whether they want to spend their money or not. I’d also like to understand why there isn’t a community chat. How are we supposed to communicate with you, and vice versa, if there’s no dedicated space for it? A chat would allow you to see what people are requesting and what concerns or issues they have. At the same time, it would give you a way to share your own thoughts, ideas, plans, or any challenges you’re facing with the community.

just came here from WLGYT ep 16 reaction let’s go IU!

you guys neeed to check out Red Velvet or Exo’s killing voice videos!! they’re widely considered some of the best vocal groups in kpop

What are everyone’s ult groups??😊 (svt)

Jessica Thirlwall

lol i think you were joking about her helping orphans and donating to charities 😭 but she’s actually really big into that— she’s the youngest recipient of Forbes Asia's Heroes of Philanthropy her MVs are amazing— and recently she’s into making movie-like quality MVs something you might be interested in is Love Wins All and the MV actually featured BTS V as an actor MV: https://youtu.be/JleoAppaxi0?si=fQsqtjFkOf9j5LTk To get a glimpse to her personality, you can watch the behind the scenes: Song Recording Behind the Scenes: https://youtu.be/S-hEbBXf4wY?si=HHgDJcSABDtS-dSp Music Video Behind the Scenes: https://youtu.be/bSxoDXrk2X4?si=wBufQHSmf7rcC3ES and for the Live performance: https://youtu.be/-_14Lhw0y1A?si=5PMnAp7Vkk_EZX4x

When this video was initially dropped, those comments were very much in the majority. I’m glad to see that non-BTS-centered people have since made their own remarks.

sofi ✿

After seeing some of the discourse in the comments, I kind of wanted to make a suggestion... You guys can correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like most people are pretty welcoming to reactions from different artists/groups on the channel. Speaking for myself, this video was a nice surprise and I'd probably stick around for most artists you react to in the future. What I think some people are frustrated by, is the lack of knowing what's coming next. As a patreon on Studio Gek as well, I'll use that as an example! Let's say some people are there mainly for TWD and don't really care about WLGYT. Imagine if you stopped posting the schedule and just randomly dropped whichever show you felt like that day. The people expecting TWD would likely be disappointed because they had different expectations for what was being released. I feel like something similar is happening here. It's less about the artists themselves and more about not knowing what's coming next. Giving patreon members a heads-up about upcoming reactions would help manage expectations and avoid some of the frustration I'm seeing in the comments ☺️ And it doesn't even have to be something super rigid. For example, if you wanted to keep two fixed BTS videos a week (for now) and leave one slot open for more spontaneous videos / different artists, I think that would already give people a better idea of what to expect!! Personally, I'm open to reactions of different artists. I just thought I'd share this because it feels like a reasonable request and something that could help the relationship between the channel and the audience in the long run! I love your guys' personalities and reactions, but I can also see how the lack of communication and the unpredictable drops can (and probably will) leave some people frustrated. A little more transparency would go a long way, in my opinion 💗 Not sure this will get much traction with the new top comments update 😭 but I figured I'd throw it out there anyway.

Crystel C.R

ARMY LOVES IU! At least I do haahaha, she is the Korean Queen

Please react to Girls Generation and Taeyeon (members of girls generation) <3

Jessica Thirlwall

iu in suchwita is a good watch! and it has a bit of history on IU too :)

Betsy

You already know mine, Stray Kids ☺️

kpthpthhh

bts has endless amounts of content so i'm not sure how long this bts era will last but i support variety and broadening your horizons actually im yearning for it

Asoom

I love your reactions please watch more UI

Noha⁷

I think people tend to relate unfamiliar/newer things back to people they're familiar with e.g. they don't know IU's music but are familiar with BTS as an introduction or to make them more excited. Also since they're doing a BTS dive rn, they prob still want to listen to bts content and this is a good way to hear more artist's stuff. I don't listen to much of IU's music but she obviously has a much larger discography outside of the recommendations and they should have a chance to see that on its own. I don't think it's out of malice or anything but I can definitely see how it can be annoying

Ashley Normil

IU is dating an actor named Lee Jong-suk they have been in a relationship for 4 years now

Noha⁷

And I feel like every sizeable fandom will always have those fans that you're talking about. Even when I'm watching football, all those things you've mentioned about living in the past or people just saying horrible things online. It's definitely the loud minority but it's just exemplified because of the size of the fandom. I've always made it a thing to separate the fandom from the artist since they're ultimately different.

yearlywise

I agree. Most of it’s not malicious— just tactless and (imo) in bad taste. Idk, maybe I’m more annoyed by the stuff like this bc I’ve seen it everywhereeee. It was one of my top 3 pet peeves about the fandom when I was an Army: this need some fans have to make everything under the sun about BTS in some way. It’s just disappointing bc I feel like the audience here has subtly influenced the Geks to adapt their BTS-centered approach— Jack literally opened this video mentioning JK’s ancient crush on IU— when they deserve to experience other artists organically. And I’m willing to bet the next IU songs they’ll react to (should it happen) will be Love Wins All and Eight, simply bc Suga and V are featured in them.

Senii

NOW YOU HAVE TO WATCH IU x SUGA AND IU x J-HOPE IN HER OWN SHOW " PALLETTE"

Mandyyy

I think they are just a little afraid of offending the Armys because most have subscribed for their Bts reactions. And we can't neglect the fact that there are really toxic fans. I haven't seen any here and I'm really happy about it. But for example, there are new reactor channel Armys called Split Screen Reacts who made a post to say they wanted to be offered other bands than Bts to discover a little more about Kpop; but some fans started saying that they felt betrayed that people always started by reacting to Bts, gaining subscribers and then watching other groups and they demanded that they only react to Bts. Even the Armys who are subscribed to Ralaz Reacts do not appreciate that we offer anything other than Bts and call you a fake army if you do

Aya

And that is true there’s so many times when reactors watch bts for views then they get the views they want, then they start reacting to other groups and we never see a BTS vid again in their channel so that’s where the fear of that comes from but again there’s nothing wrong with exploring more if it’s fair to everyone but some multi Stan’s in these comments are starting to look like they think their better than the fans that just Stan bts and calling us just toxic it gets so annoying and repetitive our fandom is obviously going to have more toxic fans because it’s way larger than any group in the kpop industry fanbase. I think this is why I was hesitant to pay for the Patreon here because of the multi Stan’s who can’t respect the people who just stan BTS and think of it as something wrong which is ridiculous

Noha⁷

Yeah, I agree that they should get a chance to explore IU as an artist in her own respect. I want to them react to love wins all and eight yeah because suga and v are in them but because they're great songs and IU does amazing in them. I've gotten to the point where I kinda zone of some of those comments where they are a bit repetitive and reductive. Especially the ones like I'm only here for BTS - there's just no need tbh

Noha⁷

I will say that they do see IU as talented actress cause of WLGYT rather than through a bts centered approach

yearlywise

@Noha That’s the thing though. Simply because of Army’s insane size, the loud minority isn’t exactly the minority anymore. And I do separate the fandom from the artist— I don’t have any issues with BTS as people and I still love their back catalogue. I just don’t follow their current music, and although I still deeply respect them, I’m personally turned off by the types of non-malicious, yet profoundly tactless fans that their mainstream popularity has attracted. My og comment was honestly a really cold take. It should not be controversial to state that it’s disrespectful to keep bringing up Artist Z for a video that’s about Artist X. (This is a response to your second comment for context 👍)

yearlywise

And I’m glad they’ve experienced IU through WLGYT! You should check out My Mister if you haven’t already; imo it’s her best work re: acting

Tivy

Nobody is mad lol

Noha⁷

I do agree with your point that artist shouldn't be continuously brought up when discussing another, even if I do think they respect that artist and don't think it's controversial at all. Im newer to BTS than you are (Im guessing) and I've definitely seen that toxic stupid side of the fandom but I've seen the positive and really great side of the fandom a lot more and I love being part of that community. It sucks that for some people, that minority has become so loud and prominent since it's isnt a representation of the whole but it cant be helped. Also I dont know IU as an artist much but I absolutely love her as an actor. I've watched pretty much all her main dramas, I think I've only got moon lovers left and Im kinda scared cause of what i've heard ngl

JAN NARUTO

She is the best solo singer, love her since Mia Btw she killed it in My Ajusshi, check it out

Jack

We don’t think ARMY would be mad, we just know a majority of people here are ARMY and we are obviously catered towards BTS content right now, so we just wanted to explain ourselves. It’s not that deep

Jack

Guys it’s not that deep, we just wanted to do something different. We love watching BTS, we want to give the Army BTS stuff, this does not need to be a big deal

McKay Carter

Can we just keep the comments about tangerines and IU, we mentioned bts as a joke and now the comments are so weird, sucks IU isn’t getting her recognition she deserves

yearlywise

Ohhh well I mean you should watch Moon Lovers if you really want to. As far as I’m aware, a lot of international fans are attached to that show bc it was their first period??-esque KDrama, so I do get why it’s so popular. On my part, I have … opinions … on that show lol. I wrote a comment with some IU song/album recs in this thread, if you’re interested in getting to know her better as an artist. I’m glad we see eye to eye overall ! Ik the fandom is capable of good— like that time they were trolling racists on Twitter (?)— and I’m happy you’ve generally had more positive experiences than bad ones :)

Aya

Jack it’s truly not even just about what you guys said it’s some of the people in the comment section taking what you guys said and making it seem that we said something negative about you guys reacting to other artist than bts and saying insensitive stuff. I love watching your guys vids, I’ve been watching your vids since before you started reacting to kpop so I know you guys aren’t the type of people to watch stuff for views it’s more so the fans watching too

Sky

seventeennnnnn, txt, and enhypen😛

Noha⁷

yeah I saw some recs in the earlier comments and I'd love to have a listen. I've been watching kdramas for a while but I did see that the korean side didn't like moon lovers as much as the international side. I think it was something about the historical accuracy (correct me if im wrong). I'll prob watch it just because it's so popular but im curious on your opinions on the show 👀

CocoChanelz

Oh I loveeeee IU 💁🏽‍♀️☺️ that’s my k solo queen. I love her voice so much. She has good music and comfort lyrics. I think she’s friends with Suga? And V if I’m not mistaken.

soybeanz11

Red Velvet 🤍🤍🤍

Manon Taureau

Yes you have to watch suchwita with suga and her show with suga as a guest, jhope and v 🤩

Yadama (6th member of Cortis) and member of Nmixx

Suprisingly I don’t have an ult group. I just like whatever music I hear and if it happens to come from a Ive never heard of group then that’s great. It’s too hard to pick an ult. I think that’s what I love about k-pop.

yearlywise

I should make a video essay about Moon Lovers lol, but the tl;dr of my opinions on it is that it is neither a good sageuk (historical KDrama) nor an effective fictional narrative. The whole premise of the show— a girl from the future ~causing~ tragic historical events to happen— hinges on making the FL a Mary Sue who can do no wrong and somehow exercises an irresistible influence on everyone she meets. Instead of actually trying to adjust to the norms of this new world she’s in, she constantly projects modern standards of behavior and ethics onto the people around her (many of whom are ROYALTY)… and somehow gets away with it every time. Her personality changes dramatically towards the later half of the show for the tragedy points, but it’s hard to feel much sympathy for her bc most of this shit was preventable. The male lead is an absolute travesty of a character (even though his actor is great at the role) with zero basis on actual historical fact, and is also a toxic mess of a person in general lol. His entire origin story is reliant on a baffling misrepresentation of the political network that formed the early Goryeo Dynasty (e.g., the show makes it seem like Wang Gun, the first king of Goryeo and the ML’s father, gets married to a lot of people for the shits and giggles), and also on a weird gimmick about ~beauty standards~ that I’m pretty sure the writers made up bc it’s edgy. With two exceptions, the rest of the cast are forgettable at best and absolutely insufferable at worst (cough Seohyun and Baekhyun’s characters)— and the plot is overreliant on sensationalizing various romantic relationships/related drama at the expense of historical and narrative continuity. There’s also a glaring plot hole that’s begging you not to notice it: the FL is in Goryeo in the first place bc her soul entered the body of another girl. What was this other girl like? What were her motivations for being in the very sus place the FL found herself in when she traveled through time? Did she die? Where’d HER soul go?? The show doesn’t know haha and doesn’t want you to think about it ever :) There’s more lol but you get the gist. This show is so so so so mid and is only as popular as it is bc many international fans haven’t watched enough quality sageuks to compare it with. ✨You should watch The Red Sleeve instead✨

Taetaele

Yes, but if they keep giving them attention, nothing gets resolved. They should just ignore them so those people stay quiet and eventually leave on their own. Instead, this constant disclaimer for army in every video is becoming annoying for genuine fans. Then, if you read the comments, even here, you find multistans saying, “Yeah, because army…” when no army was actually saying anything against IU or the Geks, and they focus only on that

kirix

Exactly

kirix

She is a queen

kirix

Why do they think that we hate other artists,yes they’re toxic fans in our fandom but every fandom has toxic fans.Most of the army’s are not toxic and love IU and respect other K-pop artists.I’m an armystay myself,Stray kids is literally my 2nd favourite group and I also like some Enhypen and TxT songs

Betsy

But I also love ATEEZ and NCT too. There's so many amazing groups 💫

kirix

I think you would love her show IU’s palette.Suga,Hope and Tae were there too

캐럿입니다 💎

IU is just the start!!! She has done so much for the kpop industry, specifically for solo artists. In my opinion and this is just my opinion if you don't agree cool if you do thats cool too!! But now that you guys have opened the door to artists other than BTS i would very much love it if you start exploring more groups alongside BTS. Again I would suggest this simple schedule, Mon & Wed BTS/SVT/Ateez Fri - Any solo artist/2nd Gen music. This way you can keep swapping artists in and out as you keep exploring more kpop. I don't want to sound rude but it has been 2 months now that you have started this Kpop channel but right now it seems like a BTS channel, I mean that in the most positive way possible. I genuinely hope you consider it. But again my comments have been ignored from the start so. Anyway I really like your channel and appreciate your content both SrudioGek and GeKpop and I want you guys to explore more stuff instead of staying in this BTS bubble.

Aya

It’s the multi Stan’s taking what they said and making passive aggressive comments about us

캐럿입니다 💎

I personally feel like the hate for Army's is not necessary but at the same time I understand what they really want is just for them to explore more of Kpop. And I get their anger specifically because from day one the guys have said that they will be exploring everything and won't just stick to BTS and now that it has already been 2 months with no deep dive into other groups multi stan fans just want their moneys worth I guess 😅 in a way (i don't mean it in a rude way) and seeing that we also aren't necessarily getting any patreon exclusive stuff add to that the lack of anyother artist on the channel I get where they are coming from but spreading unnecessary hate of course isn't the way to do it 😂

Noori

IU and Jungkook shipping is nothing but a silly joke at this point. Please don't take it too seriously

Sofia Gomez

I hope you react to other killing voice videos. I would recommend Mamamoo (they are the reason killing voice exists) also Ateez that you already know and so many more. By the way love your reactions!

Nikita

It's not but it gets old having a disclaimer every vid about not upsetting ARMY when 90% are not. It feels like when a person tells you to calm down when you're not even upset. It also feels like we're forcing them to watch BTS and doesn't feel good as an audience who's excited about their kpop journey.

Pluto

Not a single bad comment from army yet so many comments about army who just want BTS reaction cause they are literally BTS army and paid for BTS content and little disappointed cause they didn’t got BTS reaction after waiting for BTS content in a channel which is apparently BTS focused currently 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ .Sorry guys but must of the army are not stupid and listen to other artists but prefer to pay and support only for BTS because BTS is our main focus .So a heads-up is appreciated when you guys decide to react to other groups or artists.So we can wait for BTS reaction peacefully.I watched you guys since AOT days ,Never thought I watch you react to BTS .Hope you enjoy this amazing journey. Borahae💜💜💜💜

Yess!!! Mamamoo did such a great job there!! It's all thanks to them that we got so many amazing Killing Voice videos!!! My personal favourite are Seventeen, Mamamoo and MonstaX I listen to those all the time!!!

캐럿입니다 💎

I think they are being cautious because of some loud bad apple Army's on YT, because right now all the videos are going on YouTube and the audience on YT can be intense at times not just Army's all fandoms, it's like twitter you know the extreme side of things. I get why they are being cautious though. I saw a request for Killing Voice on YT on their combined video and some Army's were leaving, are still leaving replies like 'dont hope for it' 'its only going to bts' and stuff like that. But yeah I get you, hating any fandom is never the solution. Though only because of those bad apples I hope Geks post more groups of only to shut them down.

Noha⁷

Thanks for the breakdown. Time travelling dramas are always tricky because there has to be some sort of logic behind it otherwise it just falls apart. I'll try go in with a unbias view but I really enjoy palace politics and stuff like that in historical dramas so I'll see. And I absolutely love The Red Sleeve, it's one of my favs, the characters are written so damn well.

lau

completely agree!

Nikita

I know those ppl exist on YouTube but giving them attention only amplifies their voices imo. Ppl who are just enjoying the content and not checking the comments are then aware of complaints that they didn't even know existed. And then they go read them out of curiosity and continue the negative cycle.

Gatha Naranath

As an Army I love watching IU reactions. She’s always been my favorite soloist. And she has been on Sugas interview show Suchwita. She said in the interview it had been years since she was on an interview show that wasn’t her own where she interviews others. She did it cause she was such a close friend to Suga. And you really get an in depth view on her whole career. A lot of her emotions. The whole concept of Sugas interview show is to have deep conversations while having a drink (usually alcohol but a lot of guests bring any drink they want)

mini

the way they adore her so much bc of wlgyt makes me so happy 🥹

Nanami's Wife

Great reaction! I love IU and her story of upbringing is so inspiring🩷 I have a suggestion on how to do future polls and future schedules to help with organization (just a thought I had). I think it’s best to continue with 3rd generation Kpop because we’ve mainly done groups from 3rd generation. The 3rd generation of Kpop is widely recognized as the industry's "golden era" (2012-2019), so I feel like it’s the best place to start getting into Kpop. In the future though after completing a generation, there can be a poll to choose which one to do next: 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th. I feel like it’s better to organize it in generations rather than groups to avoid confusion and have better focus on groups. And it would be nice for you guys to dive into each era. As for groups, maybe on Fridays of every 2 weeks do a poll on which boy group and girl group to do. For example: BTS, EXO, Got7, Seventeen, Twice, Red Velvet, Blackpink, GFriend, Soloists. So, one boy group and one girl group have to win to get content for the next 2 weeks. The soloists option can be just focusing on a solo artist like IU or PSY. As for content, idk if you would want to go by the comments or choose among yourselves or do a poll. Either one is great! If you do a poll on Sundays the options could be: Music videos, albums, interviews, start-up(how the group formed), dance practices, funny moments, concerts/performances. And whichever wins you can decide which ones you want to watch or look at the recommended comments. But again, it’s great if you just choose what content to do, there doesn’t necessarily have to be a poll for that. Again, this is just a suggestion because I know there is so much kpop to get into and it can get overwhelming. I expected you guys to branch out more into kpop because that is what this channel is about😂 You have infinite content😭 All in all, it's your reaction channel and I’ll be happy no matter what you put out, but I thought of making a suggestion 💜

Gatha Naranath

I actually got this membership to watch bts reactions but I still recommended an IU reaction 2 weeks ago on a bts video😭that’s how much I love her. At this point armys are fans of IU as well. We love her especially when it comes to sugas and hers collabs

Nikita

100% agree. Personally I'm already used to the spontaneity of the channel so I don't get invested in some dream reaction of mine every posting day like some others do. It has it's pros and cons. The spontaneity is fun but there are ppl having specific expectations every day that don't get what they want. The fault isn't really on the Geks. I also suggested a similar schedule to yours very early on in the channel (set days for current deep dive group and a random day for spontaneity or others) but maybe they don't like that idea and it's their channel so ppl just need to expect the unexpected and have fun. The only ppl that have valid issues are the ones affected by the time zone difference imo.

julian

Oh some of these comments are bad, geks diversify the kpop channel i beg, we’re here to see you look at kpop not be a bts only channel. The quicker you make them realize it the better. I say this with respect to the people here for bts only but it is unbearable. Theyre happy now because its IU and she has an affiliation with bts but the comments will probably be even more annoying in the future for other groups. Somebody who is here for the geks not any group -

julian

Also i get wanting them to watch variety shows once or twice, but why are we still requesting them watch bts sit in a table and eat and talk for the 10th time? even if its groups i like, what am i watching you eat and walk in a park in a 40 minute video multiple times for? cant you guys see how boring it can be to watch?

Jo

Exo killing voice is so peak omggg😌

Jo

Babe you couldn’t have explained this better!!😌

Jo

Yes!!! Mamamoo killing voice is one of my favorite ones out there!😊 With Exo, seventeen, and Ateez!!

ria

there aren’t any negative comments about the geks branching out or reacting to iu here aside from some people asking for a schedule(which is fair), so i’m genuinely confused about what bad comments you’re talking about and don’t understand the need to frame the fd negatively, especially over smth that you’re just assuming will happen in the future, when the community here has been positive for the most part and the geks made it clear multiple times that it’s a kpop channel

Ana

if they said they were focusing on BTS atm why are multi Stan subscribing? I would just wait for for them to start reacting to other groups before I pay. Also I just think Army wants them to start taking the recommendations or get a proper schedule. I love the random videos but they still haven’t even finished the other members solos for people to start asking them to move on from BTS when they haven’t watched the most important videos. I feel like all this can be settled with a set schedule. And them adding Rise of bangtan into the week. I feel like if they did Monday for music, Wednesday rise of bangtan or another educational video about BTS And Friday a variety show like run BTS or Bon voyage. I feel like if the geks did or do this the big things for BTS could be out of the way and they could slowly start adding a new group on the schedule. They can do that now tbh. Mondays and Fridays for BTS Wednesdays for a new group. Like every Wednesday it can be a killing voice for a different group. That way it’s always variety and the geks can see from the killing voice the next group that caught their attention the most for the next deep dive. If any geks see this please consider my comment. I feel like everyone can be happy here if we give BTS Monday and Fridays and a new group each Wednesday. Also please start watching Rise of bangtan it’s really important for BTS and their journey. It’s very honest and open with their thoughts you will also learn a lot more about the kpop system I don’t mind other groups I just want them to watch the more important videos. And Geks I love you and I know this kpop stuff is super new to you guys that’s why I’m suggesting this to make things go smoother for yall and everyone can still have fun

Nikita

Why are you projecting your own predictions of how ppl will react in the future as fact? How do you know how ppl will react? Stop spreading this nonsense.

Betsy

I'm still going to be greedy and hope for the Stray Kids Era to be next. I wish you could do Stray Kids along with BTS on the schedule. Sorry I'm just eager for ya'll to check out their Killing Voice and The dominATE concert film on Amazon Prime lol. But I'm trying to be patient. However like others have suggested on here, it would be helpful if you guys could do different groups one of the days such new groups on Monday and Wednesday, BTS and Friday, it could even be Killing Voice sessions or like one person said a day to explore solo artists to see what all they have to offer. That would be fun and a nice twist but to let us know what is coming ahead of time.

We have heard them say multiple times that they’re also going to react to other groups, so I don’t understand why some people keep acting like ARMYs haven’t accepted that. They literally said they were starting with BTS and would branch out later. The issue isn’t that they’re going to react to other groups. The issue is that people keep pushing them to “move on” when they haven’t even watched that much BTS yet. Wanting them to get to know BTS properly before branching out isn’t the same as saying they should only react to BTS forever. Some ARMYs may only be interested in BTS content (myself included), but it’s unfair to keep accusing all ARMYs of being against other groups when many of us are simply asking for BTS to be given a fair chance first. 💜

floo

Suchwita with iu and all bts members pls

캐럿입니다 💎

I don't think multi stans want them to move on, I think they just want them to give atleast one day of the week to other groups and maybe allot days so that everyone gets some content to watch per week.

캐럿입니다 💎

I am just saying that at what point is this 'atm' going to end. Nobody is asking them to move on from BTS just to add more groups throughout the week. Because BTS or any group content is never ending if they wait until they explo5the whole of BTS it will be 10+ years before moving on

someone somewhere

all the things that include BTS with IU: Suwchita - IU and SUGA| IU Pallate - Jhope episode, Suga episode and V episode IU music Video - Love wins all (with V) + the behind the scenes IU Music videos (Eight ft suga) but suga doesnt show up in the video I love their content together they have a relaxed rapport

캐럿입니다 💎

Yesss!! Exactly, people think multi stans want them to move on from BTS but that not it we just want more groups and variety of music!! That can continue BTS and explore more of Kpop

C⁷🙂

I understand that. I don’t mind them reacting to other groups at some point. I just think they should spend a little more time getting to know BTS first, since they’re still pretty early in their BTS journey. I think some people misunderstand that and assume ARMYs are trying to stop them from branching out, when that’s not the case for many of us. Personally, I’m not a multi-stan, so if the channel eventually focuses heavily on other groups, I’ll probably move on, but that’s just me. I fully respect whatever direction they want to take. 😊

캐럿입니다 💎

Yes!!!!!!!! I have been commenting from the start of this channel for a schedule, i stopped trying afterwards. Schedules help a lot!!!!! Like for example since Playback boyz started posting a schedule people have stopped commenting on videos that they don't want to watch and it's been pretty smooth sailing since then!!!!

Nat

V, jhope, and suga were guests on IU’s Palette as well it’s her YouTube music talk show! She interviews guests, chats with them, and performs songs together.

Ana

No one is saying they have to react to all of BTS content or all of any groups content. That’s obviously not possible. I’m just seeing comments coming for army and saying this is a kpop channel which it is. But they also said they are focusing BTS atm. Both are true. So stop coming for army when most army don’t care if they react to other groups. Just want the most important content from BTS to be watched. That’s why a set schedule could have helped because they would have got most of the important stuff out of the way. And that’s why I suggested them doing a different killing voice each week so everyone here can be happy and satisfied. Every fan of a group would have something to look for each week. Until the next group’s deep dive. I feel every group deserves the proper amount of time to explore them. But y’all can’t be like y’all need to let army’s know and put your foot down like we don’t know it’s a kpop channel. Yet ignoring that they said BTS is the focus right now. None of us know when they will be moving on from BTS that’s up to them. Just don’t understand the complaining from multis or non army’s about it being too much BTS when that’s whey said the focus will be. 2 months is not enough time for any group. But if we get a set schedule and give a day for new group each week. Things can run smoothly.

캐럿입니다 💎

Oh!! I read group not groups but to add Stray Kids, MonstaX, Mamamoo, Big Bang.

캐럿입니다 💎

Yes I understand but no amount of time with BTS or any group is going to be enough because if they don't branch out now they might get stuck not in a bad way just that there is more that 12 years of BTS content variety shows music everything so even if they think of doing 20 or 30 percent of their content before moving on it's going to take them a year or 2 seeing that they also don't post everyday of the week (which I don't want them to it totally up to them) but you know like I said no amount of time spend on BTS is ever going to be enough.

Jo

Too soon to ask for Cortis??😝

캐럿입니다 💎

The more time they spend on BTS the more army's to join the channel I am not saying anybody is going to force them to react to all of BTS content but once you start it's is hard to stop as a fan. People would want them to react to In the Soop and a lot more of Run BTS don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong in that, I am only suggesting maybe having a schedule and dividing the week so that they can explore more but with a schedule so that everyone who has subscribed for multi group reactions or solo artists they can also have something to look forward to in the week

C⁷🙂

I get what you’re saying, and I don’t think they need to cover years of BTS content before branching out. I guess we just have different ideas of what “enough” looks like. For me, it’s less about the amount of content and more about them having a solid understanding of BTS, their story, and the members as individuals before expanding further. But I respect that everyone sees it differently. 😊

Ana

That’s literally what both my comments already said 🙃

캐럿입니다 💎

OMG yes!! I wasn't commenting against you I was agreeing with you and just adding my 2 cents!! I am so sorry if you thought I was saying something against your comment I was just generally saying that all these restless comments will stop if there was a schedule I am so sorry genuinely if you thought I was commenting against you. Maybe i should have worded it in a different way!! So sorry!!

EmlovesOP

I love iu so much her albums be so good

Elmo

They would love Cortis' music and personalities. I hope they get into them. They don't have as much music and content since they're newish (but that could change soon), so they could get caught up fairly quickly.

Kataniah

There’s this Korean girl group called Mamamoo that were on Killing Voice and honestly, they killed it. Their vocals and harmony were stellar! If you were planning to watch another Killing Voice, I would highly recommend Mamamoo! ❤️

Elmo

I'm ARMY, but they've watched ALOT of BTS. Nearly everything has been BTS for over 2 months now. And they've done what, 2 videos with non-BTS artists? In what world is that not "not that much" lol. I get it. You're a fan, so it will never be "enough", if given the choice. Personally I'd prefer them to dedicate one day to explore other groups (in addition to BTS that same day), if that means they will continue on their BTS journey.

Ana

Oh ok all good

Elmo

@yearlywise. I was reading the comments almost in real-time since the video dropped, and I did not see negative comments. That's just not accurate. I even have periodically gone back and STILL no outright negative comments. Not to the amount or extent that warrants it even being mentioned. They record the videos the same day, so it would have had to be recent comments. Perhaps they're talking about YT, but YT is a cesspool and all of those comments should be ignored bc there are alot of ARMY antis posing and trolling as annoying ARMY, but are not willing to pay money to continue their rouse, and that's why there isn't any of that here. They would do best to completely not refer to YT comments. That goes for ARMY, or ANY fandom. YT is just like .000001 step above Xitter.

Cora ✿

IU is the definition of, 'your favourite artists favourite artist'. Defo do more reacts

Carter D. Andrus

If I’m being honest, your comment makes the experience we are having turned more into a checklist and something more corporate than we want right now. Right now we are just having fun getting into kpop and experiencing bts. Maybe one day we want to hear new music and maybe one day we want a slice of life bts depending on how we’re feeling. To put everything in a box takes the fun out of it. At the end of the day we are just trying to make our experience of getting into this new world of kpop and bts how we want it and we are loving it so far

yearlywise

@Elmo Hey, so I never said they were *negative* comments. My main issue with them (as I elaborated multiple times in this comment thread) was that they were 95% about BTS in some way, which is extremely obnoxious and besides the point of the video they posted :) I’m so glad that you’re the kind of person who ignores annoying people! Good for you. That being said, just as you have the freedom to ignore BTS-centered comments, I have the freedom to call them out for being derivative and disrespectful. Funny how that works!

Ana

Oh I don’t mean to put a checklist on you guys. I was just suggesting so things can remain calm and not turn stressful for you guys. I’m fine with whatever way you guys want to do. Just trying to keep everything chill for you guys and the Patreon members. But since you said it I won’t suggest anymore. All love 💜

Nikita

I had a feeling you guys aren't into doing a schedule. I prefer the in the moment reactions anyway. Go with where your mood takes you. The guessing game of each upload is fun itself. 😁

dani

Mamamoo's version is THE KILLING VOICE!!

Elmo

OMG GUYS...BTS 'HOME' , the Jimmy Fallon show performance (the one song you missed on the Map of the Soul' album), is back up on YouTube!!! It was taken down a couple years ago and it was recently re-uploaded on the Tonight Show channel. It's fate, so that you can react to HOME as a performance! But they might take it down again, so please react before that happens :( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rcKpY-4QBI

Marie

Yay! Missed that performance!

alyce

yess

alyce

love love love her

alyce

sooo i think "love wins all" and IU on Suchwita are a must watch for you guys now!!!

Aya

It’s actually getting so annoying with this topic, if they started with any other group first that is their ult group they would also have toxics fans who would complain about getting their ult group but you know what since it’s us we are already labeled toxic when nothing has even happened yet it’s actually hypocritical at this point no fandom is better than the other they will always be fans in every group who are weird about something and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop it so these commenting about army and BTS is for absolutely no reason because every other fandom has the same types of people

dani

whoever gets mad because this is not bts content has to be under 16

Asoom

I hope they react to taeyeon also🙂

dani

My favorite IU song is not on the killing voice:( but you guys would love it! It's called Last Night Story

dani

This!! I cried watching this I love her so much.

Aya

One of my fav iu songs is eight especially the meaning behind the song always gets me and it has one of the prettiest mvs

Nikita

I was looking for it! I was so confused why I couldn't find it. Do you know why it was taken down?

Awkwardly Being

Niccce im glad yall are exploring more kpop content! Who doesn't love Iu!

Stilloctober

She has a song called “love wins all” and the music video has V in it!

Riko

please react to Love Wins All by IU! V was a co-star in the MV :))

Taetaele

I’d like to start by saying that I’m only writing this here because I don’t know of another way to make sure you’ll actually see it. I also want to clarify that everything I’m about to mention is intended to help create a better experience for both the community and geks. These are suggestions based on what I’ve observed and seen work on other large BTS/K-pop channels: 1. Upload more videos per week and provide actual Patreon-exclusive content: at the moment, this Patreon doesn’t really feel worth the cost. Of course, nobody is forcing me to subscribe, but I think this is a sentiment that many people share. 2. Create a weekly schedule: right now, uploads feel very random. That’s understandable when you’re starting out, but I think the channel now needs a more structured direction. For example, you could dedicate specific days to other groups so that each fandom knows what to expect. 3. Create three membership tiers (optional): one for the voting system you already have, one dedicated exclusively to BTS content, and another for multistans (BTS + K-pop). 4. Create a community chat: I’ve seen many creators run separate BTS and K-pop chats. In general, a chat is useful for gathering feedback, organizing requests, and giving the community a dedicated space instead of relying solely on the comment section. 5. Appoint moderators to help with content selection: even if there are four of you managing things already, moderators can provide valuable insight from within the fandom itself and help you stay connected to community dynamics. I hope these suggestions are helpful. Please take them as constructive feedback rather than criticism.

Taetaele

For you it’s probably night, so I don’t know if you’ll read this. I’ll also post it under the new video so more people can read it and share their perspectives. Written text always comes across as more serious and aggressive than the tone I actually intend.

Luka-shiki

Behind the scenes are a must for love wins all! 💜💜

Luka-shiki

I hope they make it a 3 in 1 video to include the behind the scenes as well from both IU TV and BANGTANTV 💜

Jo

Great idea!😊

Jo

Yess!! She’s amazing😊

캐럿입니다 💎

I very much agree with you. Right now there are restless comments on most of the video because there is a lack of schedule and communication. I have been telling them to make a proper schedule since the start of this channel in the comments and on discord. I even gave them examples of other channels which I personally follow like Playback boyz and Ben Kim and so on to give them options for tier settings and maybe monthly schedules or weekly schedules. For example when Playback used to never have a schedule and since they have started putting weekly schedules the restless comments have stopped or i follow one channel where they do monthly deep dives in to new groups and if they like or want to continue a specific group they start taking suggestions through suggestion drop-boxs while still continuing to swap out groups for the monthly deep dive. I feel like the miss understanding is happening when multi stans ask for some other groups reaction is that everyone thinks they want them to move on from BTS but that is for sure not the case. And yes at the end of the day its their choice what to watch and what not to but then telling us either monthly or weekly about what they are going to watch is a must. For example if they are going to explore only BTS and IU for the next 2 months let's say, there no problem in doing that but it would be good to know that before hand. Because if I join the the channel by seeing the combined video hoping they are going to start exploring that group and then they don't or don't even inform if they are or not it creates confusion. Anyways like you said I don't know if they will see this or not but I totally agree with you and sorry for the rant 🫣🫠

Taetaele

I read a comment from them here where they were replying to someone who suggested something similar, saying that it would end up feeling like a job or something too systematic. I understand their point of view, but then it doesn’t make much sense to bring the topic up every single time. In the end, once you put a price on something, it becomes a product. And I think this is effectively their job, so I genuinely don’t understand what’s so difficult or controversial about having a schedule for them.

캐럿입니다 💎

Exactly, like it is a job in one way or another at the end of the day and saying that shouldn't be a bad thing, it is what it is. I paint for people through commision even though it's my passion but when I started putting a price on the paintings it's effectively became a job and not just something I do in my down time and I have to give my clients their moneys worth by communicating with them drawing up schedules and all that otherwise it will be chaos. And again nothing bad in that, because the more random video drops the more chaos is going to follow. Anyways let's talk about something fun if you are still here 😂😂 which groups are your ult groups??

Taetaele

I’m not really a k-pop fan anymore. I still know a lot of groups, but I don’t listen to or follow most of their contents anymore. I’m a full-time army though. Lately, besides BTS, I’d say I like ILLIT, Hearts2Hearts, and KiiiKiii.

Betsy

I wish they would try one of these schedules to see how it works for them like a trial run. Then, they can decide if they want to continue with it or do something completely different. But organization and structure would help out a great deal and things would run smoother with this channel. It would be nice because you would know what to expect and exactly when to expect it. But I'm afraid it's going to be random for the time-being and the BTS era will be going on for a long time since there's a mountain of content that it's actually endless.... But wow monthly deep dives sounds amazing. And I agree, having three tiers would be more accomdating for everyone to figure out which package is personally best for them. There wouldn't be so much discourse in the comment section and I think it would be more worth the money overall. Because honestly, I'm thinking about cancelling my subscription until more variety is on the channel. Sorry if this sounds bad or rude but I'm getting bored with the lack of diversity and short videos that goes by too quickly. I keep wondering to myself how long the BTS era will be when it's already been 2 months. There's so much stuff that they haven't even begun to scratch the surface. I like BTS and enjoy their old music because their songs and uplifting message got me through some hard times. So, there will always be nostalgia. However, I'm desperately craving for them to explore new groups and expand their horizon instead of staying in the BTS bubble.

Taetaele

The basic problem is that BTS already have 13 years’ worth of content to catch up on, and even at their current pace I think it’ll take forever just to get through 20% of it. Then if you add all the content from other groups, it basically becomes endless. This can’t keep going like this, neither for armys nor for multistans. Since they’re used to anime and K-dramas, they’re probably not accustomed to having a schedule because reaction content there follows the episodes. But in this K-pop segment, there isn’t that kind of linear progression; you need organization to navigate between all the different groups. Honestly, I also think this will be the last month I pay unless I see some kind of rebrand.

its me abeer

yeah I really appreciate them doing the schedule but the time is very confusing sometimes the vid drops early and sometimes its in 5 am in the morning for me post ur videos at a certain time of the day like other kpop reactors it will defiantly help with a lot

Taetaele

Look, for me the videos in Europe always drop late at night so I totally get it. They should try to find a time that works better for them but also works across different time zones; I’ll add this point to the list. For now, I’m hoping something drops tonight (it’s 4 PM for me) and I’ll copy and paste this message there. Maybe they’ll see it that way, but honestly, based on their replies, I don't think they appreciate it lol

캐럿입니다 💎

Omg!!!! yes!!!!! we think so alike!!! Again not to brag but I am just tired you know I genuinely said the same thing to them when they started the channel, on discord because I have been following their channel since AOT and I told them that it's not going to be like anime like 4 seasons done now we move to the next one Kpop content is endless no matter how much you try to catch up there is new content almost every week which the groups put out. new albums, new units etc every week or month, its just going to keep piling up. And for me, if there is no change in the system I might not subscribe again until they explore more groups. It's sad I love their content so much and they have such a solid schedule on Studio Gek I hope they do that here too if possible.

Betsy

Yeah you're right, it's something completely foreign to them so, they are kind of just going with the motions. But unfortunately, that doesn't quite work when many fans are paying for this service and hold certain expecations. I agree, since K-pop has such a vast number of different groups that multistans such as myself and many others on here are eager to see as well as the ARMY fandom continues to rapidly grow, therefore it takes a more strict approach to keep everything in order and balanced like you said. To cater to everyone's needs effectively, there has to be more structure and a clear path for everyone to follow. Right now, it feels like we are a bit divided.

Anya

Yayy it's gekpop day! Hope we get an early drop! Friday's usually are lol 🤞

캐럿입니다 💎

And the exploration of new groups doesn't even have to be now, you know, they can continue to do only BTS for the rest of the year if they want nothing wrong in that but I think the issue is not knowing if that is the case. For example for anime if they start one Anime you know that it's going to definitely take 4 or 5 seasons before it's definitely done and they will move on but with kpop it's so unpredictable no amount of content is ever going to be enough no matter which group.

캐럿입니다 💎

I hope it's Seventeen and Ateez Dingo Killing Voice today!!! Now that you have opened the Dingo door, please explore it if possible. If you do consider it, my top recommendations would be Seventeen, Mamamoo, Stray kids, Ateez, MonstaX, EXO and Enhyphen.

Taetaele

I just hope they’re reading this chat; otherwise, we’ll just wait for the next drop. What puzzles me is that they don’t seem close to changing things, but maybe with more people reading next time we’ll get some result. If anything, you can copy and paste my message if you’re active as soon as it comes out, so it might be among the first

emanuela

hope we get the solossss😔😔😔

캐럿입니다 💎

I wish I was, I am sorry but for me it's to late in the night when they upload, i always watch their video much later.

Taetaele

are you from europe? because same lol

캐럿입니다 💎

I am from India actually, so yeah makes sense we don't have a lot of time difference compared to US

Marie

I agree! I see the channel growing and more people are paying for the reactions, so it’s normal to have some expectations at this point. I also see the same recommendations over and over but they don’t seem to be acknowledged

Taetaele

I know it’s not great to keep spamming, but at some point they need to realize it, or state clearly that they have no intention of changing despite the risk of losing people

Anya

I wonder if it'll be completely random 👀😂 I'm ready!

Anya

So many great killing voice to be seen! I want Red Velvet 🥹

I'm feeling solos or run bts ep 🧘‍♀️ happy with either but want solos more

Rawaby 1204

Funny thing that her debut song is in my top3 songs by IU , it’s a powerful ballad that only talented people can pull it off but it’s true that it was too mature for her at that age

Rawaby 1204

Yeess NMIXX Tiny desk and if i dream bigger i hope they check some of their covers too

Rawaby 1204

Right but tbh as IU fan I don’t think it shows her personality well enough cause she tries to be the professional MC in her show , I always love her silly and cute side more, maybe in variety shows like Running man or her solo interview in DdeunDdeun

daegukittens

Guys, nobody is angry about you wanting to react to IU. Although a schedule would be much appreciated moving forward, especially if you branch out and explore even more artists. 🙏🏻

daegukittens

IU is friends with Taehyung (V) & Yoongi (SUGA). They both have been to her show "Palette", as well as Hobi, and I would recommend reacting to those at some point since they're very fun! IU was also at Yoongi's show Suchwita and has worked on songs with Yoongi like "Eight" & "People pt.2". She also filmed a music video with Taehyung for her song "Love Wins All". 🙏🏻💜

daegukittens

Hobi too when he backed up to the wall 😭😭

Elmo

Personally, I detest tiers. To get to the content I want it usually drives up the price. And do people actually only pay to participate in polls and that’s it? It doesn’t seem necessary in my opinion. But I agree with mostly everything else!

Elmo

This may not work for them since they seem to prefer filming the day of. That’s just naturally gonna make things unpredictable. It drives me crazy because I’m definitely someone that likes to have a contingency plan so I’d probably film like a weeks worth of video in a day lol. But I’m also not a content creator for a reason. I don’t wanna do all that work so I guess that’s how they’re able to manage their workload by only putting out what they can produce in that day.

Taetaele

I agree that the first voting tier is ridiculous, but if so many creators do it, maybe there really are some crazy people willing to pay for it. As for the others, they’re generally there to keep things organized. Personally, I’m fine with them as long as the price reflects the quality of what’s being offered.

Elmo

I swear they are here to save K-pop. They are absolute performers and vocalist. They are definitely something different than what is available today. I think they’re gonna have a second peak and I’m so excited for them! Moonbyul is the only existing female idol group rapper I like. So I’m happy because I love female rappers. When they’re good.

Taetaele

Well, if they film on the same day, I don’t really see the issue with discussing a week in advance what they plan to do the following week. I’m pretty sure they talk to each other every day anyway. Maybe, if anything, they could avoid assigning specific days and instead just make a post at the beginning of the week saying, “This week, you can expect/we’re planning these videos.”

Noha⁷

oh yeah i forgot about that 😂. him and jimin were just a mess the whole video

JKim831

Hey y'all it's not that deep lmao. They were clearly joking. You're going to frustrate yourselves if you keep trying to read more into it

JKim831

IU's discography is insane though! Even though she started out with Kpop, she doesn't necessarily fall under that category anymore; she's a Korean artist who also has music under the Kpop category, but more than half her music are full of ballads, R&B, Bossa Nova, jazz, acoustic folk, etc. So she has some songs that are more up-tempo, but I'd say her strengths are actually in the ballad, slower, and softer songs you've heard here. If you want to get to know her more as an artist while also listening to her music, a great place is "IU's Palette," which is a youtube talkshow that she hosts while also inviting other Korean music artists and actors. She and the artists usually swap songs to cover. Suga, J-Hope, V, Twice, Jay Park, Itzy, New Jeans, G Dragon, and more have appeared on it, and you could really tell how much respect they have of her. She truly is an artist among artists. She also appeared on Suga's Suchwita show, which may actually be a great way to be introduced to her as an artist before heading into Palette.

캐럿입니다 💎

I am going to add that it doesn't even have to be a weekly updated schedule it can genuinely just be a monthly post saying that ' this month we are going to be exploring xyz groups' and then they can choose and watch wtever latter on for those selected groups.

Sara

React to blacckpink GO please

Betsy

I would love for all this to happen. It would make a lot of sense and be something to look forward to each month. But with Carter's recent comment under one of the threads suggesting something similar to this, he didn't seem very keen on the idea. His mind seemed pretty set on how they wanted to operate this channel. I'm like you guys though, I thrive on organization and some sort of structure. Otherwise, it gets frusturating and throws me off a little. Hope that doesn't sound selfish. I don't intend for it to be.

Hmmm I hope u react to bts in jimmy fallon, but I’m ready for whatever it will be , excited!!

What exactly do you guys mean when you say TikTok edits? Cuz there's a lot of cringe stuff on there. Someone would have to compile a list of the cool ones for them to watch cuz I personally don't wanna see the cringe thirst edits. lol

@Jo Yeah funny clips and performance stuff would be cool but we gotta find it for them. I've just seen youtubers watch some cringey compilations and I had to turn the reaction off. I couldn't even sit through it😅

Betsy

Yes it would have! A trip down memory lane, it would be an experience!

Aya

Been begging since week 2 😭😭😭

Nikita

@Aya 🤣🤣 True lmaooo

Nikita

Let's traumatize the Geks by sending them the most unhinged, sus edits we can find. 😂😂

Betsy

I feel like Cannon would be the most repulsed by it. I can see him rolling his eyes 🤣

noor

since you said you’re wondering what her personality is like, maybe you can watch her suchwita episode with yoongi (there might be better ways to learn about her but that’s the only thing I know and can recommend as an army)

Nikita

A cool alternative could also be the BTS Meme Song on Youtube. That one's basically like a funny clips compilation and their unhinged interview moments. I don't know about the other groups. They probably have similar videos too.

Carter D. Andrus

If we do a concert reaction it probably won’t be for awhile

Carter D. Andrus

All great comments! We appreciate all your guys support and having a good time with us on our kpop journey!

VictoriaKyuu

Thanks for all your reactions GEKS as a bts Stan I’m excited for more bts and for OTHER GROUPS AND SOLO ARTISTS like IU. please consider TXT AS WELL!!!

floo

Carter no wayyyy 😭😭

Luka-shiki

BTS meme song was ICONIC 🤣

Luka-shiki

Take your time, but please consider our recommendations whenever you guys decide to react to a concert 💜💜

floo

Suchwita with iu

Loly

Yesss i love IU!! ❤️

Aya

It’s okay as long as you guys will React to it in the near future then I’m fine waiting 💜

Aya

Carter can we please get a hint for today’s vid

Luka-shiki

I think it's time for a hint 💜

Betsy

I have a feeling it'll be the zombie episode or the yoga one but I could be totally wrong lol

Aya

Praying for the zombie ep 😪

Jo

I can’t wait for them to discover “going seventeen” and “skz code”!!! Also Game caterers😩😩

캐럿입니다 💎

Yasss!!! All three is peak comedy for me these three shows never fail to make me laugh 😂

Betsy

It's so enjoyable and I love seeing everyone's silly side outside of their stage persona. But skz code is especially my favorite, ya'll know why haha 😄

kate

maybe a certain run bts episode? 👀

7

wait what

katreen

I feel dumb when I don't get the hint😭

캐럿입니다 💎

I think in Seventeen's case the idol image left when they became trainees at Pledis 😂😂

Betsy

Very true!! 🤣

Luka-shiki

The run bts episode with dogs?

7

lmaaaao me too

캐럿입니다 💎

Is it that old 2017 episode of run BTS it's ep23 or something 🤣🤣 if so that is sooooo random did someone recommend it?????

floo

Puppy interview ?

floo

Bruh really someone recommended ep 23 ?! No way

Betsy

I bet it's the puppy interview

캐럿입니다 💎

If it's the puppy interview i would be upset actually because that's barely a video i would instead like an album reaction 😅😅

Betsy

Same here. I really want a Dark and Wild album reaction 😅

Luka-shiki

But the puppy interview was like 5 mins long. I don't think they'll do only that for a Friday drop

Betsy

Good point lol

Aya

McKay one more hint pls

Aya

Maybe Tae music mv

Jo

bts puppy interview?? txt "cat and dog'??

Betsy

Oh gosh the cat and dog one would be wild... haha Yes please TXT!

Aya

We are over thinkers so we probably won’t guess it right 😭😭😭

Betsy

For reallll 😩

Totaa

V ???

Bri 🦔

My guess is either bts puppy interview, run bts puppy ep or it’s layover

Bri 🦔

I think it’s layover guys

Betsy

Are we getting 5 music videos today?? Lol

Bri 🦔

Layover has 5 mvs and Yeontan as the cover 👀

Betsy

That's probably it. Yaaay Can't wait 😍

Bri 🦔

If y’all really want that I rather someone make them their own compilation the ones on YouTube are really outdated, cringey and have weird filters over the edit with the same over used songs 😭😭

Luka-shiki

If it is layover, then great because layover is 🔥but I had hoped they would do Singularity, Stigma and Winter Ahead for V solos

Jo

omg they are SO doing the V solo!!! ( I think...)

Betsy

Layover is a really beautiful and relaxing album with a bunch of jazz tones so I'm excited!

SammiewiththebigT

I think it’s V’s solos. Because he has his dog on the cover for Layover.

Marie

And Fri(end)s !!!

Luka-shiki

Yes friends too ❤️

RS123

Probably layover (yeongtan)🙌 or maybe Jin cuz he had a dog in running wild

RS123

I hope you guys do watch Winter ahead

Luka-shiki

Yessss!!! I hope whenever they do react to it, they react to the behind the scenes as well from IU TV and BangtanTv 🔥🔥

Marie

Right!! I love Layover but I hope they listened to our recommendations! Singularity Fri(end)s Love me again Slow dancing Winter ahead ❤️

Luka-shiki

What time do they usually drop the video? I thought it should have been uploaded an hour ago 😕 they also said it would be earlier than scheduled time

Kookie

Drop it ASAP please I want to watch it while washing the dishes lol

Sarah

where did they say it would be earlier? I can't see anything

RS123

Yea usually it's an hour earlier than rn so 8 or 9

Luka-shiki

@Sarah I think Carter or McKay replied to a comment a few hours ago here

Callie

I love this channel for your BTS reactions but IU was such a good surprise! Her voice is amazing, really enjoyed this reaction. I’ve never watched any of her shows I might have to try one out. Thank you for the content 💜

Sarah

oh ok yeah they usually upload earlier on Friday

Luka-shiki

So isn't it past their usual upload time? I guess I'll just sleep and watch the video later 😂

Betsy

🙇‍♀️

Anya

CMON WING!! We're ready! XD

Isabella B.

I'd suggest checking out IU's music video "Love Wins All"! V acts in it!

OneTeez90

ATEEZ :) but I listen a lot of different boy and girl groups!

alie

Yeah! And behind the scenes pls 🥹

Joycelyn Lorenzo

IU also has her own talk show called "IU's Palette" where she interviews her guests and also performs duets with them. Out of the BTS members, she's interviewed JHope, Suga, and V -- you should check it out!

Sipporah

It must be done 🙂‍↔️

lil meow meow

you should watch iu on suchwita... suchwita is a talkshow by suga

lil meow meow

3 of IU friends passed away by committed su*cide and one of them are friends with bts as well and many people think 'eight' ft suga are about those friends

Yj99

You guys should definitely watch MAMAMOO’s Killing Voice. It’s freaking AMAZING. They were literally one of the best vocal groups in 3rd-gen Kpop

Bubble Gum

Please do Seventeen killing voice Mamamoo killing voice CL killing voice

Umbrella_Kat

Killing Voices are great because you are able to hear the vocal talent of different artists live while getting a taste of their discography! I highly recommend the ones for Mamamoo, Btob, Taemin, TVXQ, Red Velvet, and EXO! They are absolute vocal powerhouses!

Sami Kim

We love IU over here!

aisha alzaabi

You should look at IU love wins all MV starring V

Jessica Thirlwall

i’ll go for hotel del luna coz she’s so unhinged there 😂 they need an emotional break after WLGYT but if they want an equally heavy show then go for My Mister

Reten

Anyone who still ships Jungkook and IU is probably a new army 😂

tanko97

i love IU! if some ARMYs are getting mad you guys react to other groups or artists, i just don’t get it. also, i feel like some of intense people from fandom have spooked boys to some degree and that’s just sad. idk about all but im here to see boys’ genuine reactions to stuff, BTS or not. i understand guiding and explaining who are BTS and what the fandom culture is for ARMYs, but scaring the boys to the extent where they may be hesitant mentioning their real opinions on things is just not right… sorry for ranting, i just know how we ARMYs can be and i just had this feeling recently watching latest videos..

Ariane Guimarães

I’m pretty sure most ARMYS love IU, she an amazing artist. You should watch her on Suga’s show Suchwita, and Suga, V and Jhope (3 different episodes) on her show Palette, all of them are on YouTube

Tivy

Carter if you guys watch a live performance, it HAS to be of her song “Good Day”. It wasn’t featured in this, but it’s such a classic. Girl can SINGGG

Tivy

I don’t know why it took me so long to watch this but THIS WAS SO FUN! All of her songs have such great vibes. I’m so glad you guys reacted to IU after WLGYT

Tivy

IU is actually one of Korea’s most famous solo artists AND actresses. She’s starred in countless k-dramas and played so many iconic roles, WLGYT is just one of many! She’s been acting for almost as long as she’s been singing, which makes it even more impressive that she’s managed to become one of the biggest names in both industries.

Sarah Lim

You guys need to watch IU and Park Bogum (Gwanshik’s younger actor) on Mini palate ep.1. They talk about when life gives you tangerines and sing the show’s ost together (yes Park Bogum can sing and is very talented as well) which will help you understand the show in a different light and get to know the actors better. I feel like if not on Gekpop this can also be on Cinema Gek!

EJ

" IU performed live like that even though she had a cold that day

gaby

ugh some armys can be so annoying hope you guys explore more artists and more iu in the future lots of love xx

Elmer Bauyon

Well said, tysm🥳❤️🫰

Elmer Bauyon

I love it too, well documented🥳🙏👌👍❤️🫰

Elmer Bauyon

Agree with you mini👍🫰❤️🥳

Elmer Bauyon

Agree with these two documentary vids about IU👍🫰👌🙏

Elmer Bauyon

Agree 100%👍🫰👌🙏❤️🥳

rice ✿

yesss they would love exo!!

rice ✿

damn this video is about iu and her lovely singing but all i see are comments about bts 😭😭

rice ✿

THEY WOULD LOVEEE CORTIS

rice ✿

literally 😭😭 they keep victimizing themselves and writing whole essays like damn

Sarah

I hope you react to her palette interviews with Suga and V! They are really fun and they also cover songs together

tbone

the goat

Elmer Bauyon

Also if you can react to IU's colllabs with other famous & legendary artists & singers of South Korea like Psy, BTS members, G Dragon, & famous korean rappers like Jay Park, Epik High, Zico & other Boy bands like Shinee, Seventeen, Day 6, 2Pm, 2Am, Seo Taiji, & also Girl band like Itzy, New Jeans, Twice, Ive, Idle, etc., you'll enjoy & love it for sure🎉❤🫡👌🫰🥳

Nanci

We all love IU. And she is good friends with the guys, especially V and Suga. ARMYs support and defend BTS, we don't attack and are not hateful to other artists. Suga has had her on his talk show Suchwita, and has collabed with her on songs. j-hope, V and Suga also each appeared on her talk show Pallette and sang with her on their own songs.
