My thoughts on RM Expensive Girl

My thoughts on RM Expensive Girl

Comments

But I did appreciate your thoughts at the end. Very thoughtful and insightful. But it's still kinda funny hahaha. And I think an important part of being secure in your own identity and self is being able to look back and laugh at yourself sometimes. :)

Claire

I literally laughed out loud when you said "this isn't so bad!" LOLL

Claire

I really like your opinion 🤓 this music is sooo cringe lol 😂 😂😂😂😂

Danielle Dias

Your explanation was perfect in my opinion.

rjbgfx

Rookie King most of it is on YouTube . It's very similar to run bts but also shows you where they lived and practised. Amazing to see how far they've come.

Kel

Rookie Kings? What kind of show is that? I'll try to find some clips on YouTube. It's fascinating seeing where it all began and the early days.

Amethyst Arthur

same.. i was dying.. also agree on why can't DT find out.. this is part of army's journey.. also this is part of Joon...i'm proud of who he turned out today...

Misha Tran

lmao at your facial expression.. i actually don't mind this song ..like u said this is a part of Namjoon.. but yeah love this reaction

Misha Tran

i didn’t want my comment to seem like the main reason why i may or may not have decided to watch the video was purely due to what your motives were, or even that i was assuming your motives. i genuinely apologize if it came across that way! i do know what this video is about, and my decision was purely based on how i felt about it morally and i wanted to give you that perspective. i dont want to come across like i have a golden moral compass either lol at the end of the day, kim namjoon himself will not know if i did or didn’t watch this video, i do not gain any army brownie points here lol it honestly barely even matters. i appreciate your transparency and critiques as always and i don’t question your motives for creating the content you do, even this video. i trust you!

k !

Hahahaha your face, so funny!!! I love Hot RM!! 🔥💜🔥💜🔥💜🤣🤣💜

Andréia 🇧🇷

Whyyyyy hahahahahhaha 😂😂😂😂😂

chim chim

oh please D.T. yess

sugaisagenius

The quickness in which your facial expression changed from 2:20 to 2:24 has me DYIIINNGGG 🤣🤣🤣 ...oh yea. And some of y'all in the comment section need to chill... we all know the song, why can't DT?

SapioCocoa

I appreciate your comment, as I do everyone who commented. But I really wish people would actually watch the video and my response to it before judging me or my motives. I explain in the video why I chose to react to it, and I how I felt about it afterwards. I purposefully did not post this video on YouTube, and it did not benefit me at all to post this on Patreon. In fact, I probably lost a few patrons after posting it. The reason why I spend so many hours watching, editing, and uploading these videos each week is because I am completely enamored and fascinated by BTS, and I love interacting with ARMY because you guys understand why. If I didn't love it, I would've stopped a long time ago.

DT Parker

Your face 😂😂😂

puTRi

if I'm not mistaken the mv for adult child was part of rookie kings. I havent seen it in years but that show is a really good way of seeing how far the boys have came and is an insight into their life around debut.

Kel

Jill L, just get over it already. This conversation is over and I have talked to DT about it. Move on please.

미카 모니카

Does he have to chose the songs you request? I wouldn’t describe what your doing is “patiently waiting”. Be frustrated, demand songs, but then don’t be surprised when he ignores you, which is what I’ll be doing from now on,

Jill L

Great suggestion for 'Adult Child'. It popped up in my video recommendations recently. I believe it was a pre-debut song, but so well done...puls having Jin join RM & Suga was great! You don't see the 3 of them in any recent songs. Maybe they were trying to figure out back then what roles Jin would play in the group since Suga & RM were obviously composers and rappers.

Amethyst Arthur

Omg i was cracking up so bad watching you react to this🤣🤣🤣🤣

Kim Kat

Since you’re watching older mvs you should watch beautiful and adult child. Jimin really ain’t a fan of people watching beautiful but it’s adorable :)

Kel

Hey DT, could you please react to BTS Map of the Soul: Persona Press Conference? They talk in detail about the album and you'll see how they handle questions from the media on the spot. I think it would be refreshing to react to something like this once in a while. MV and variety show reactions are great but stuff like this will give you new perspective on them, imo :) .

Jimin's Lost Jams

i haven’t watched this post yet, and truthfully i haven’t decided if i will watch it yet. that being said, i do want to express that i don’t care that you’ve seen it, expensive girl is not supposed to be some urban legend that only people up to a certain point have seen. however, there’s something about reactors reacting to pieces that namjoon personally took the time to delete off of the platforms they were posted to and made it a point to never bring them up again to then have reactors profit off of them through youtube monetization or patreon patrons that doesn’t sit right with me and will probably never sit right with me. i do know that this is more than just a reaction to the song though, so i do appreciate that. i do also know that you would never react to something “cringy” or “gimmicky” like this for views, so i know not to misinterpret your intentions. i appreciate you giving your thoughts as you always do! i mainly wrote this comment to give some feedback that’s not super defensive or protective. you’re allowed to view these things, you are free to do whatever you want in your free time, i just feel weird when people profit from them.

k !

I wasn't originally going to watch this reaction but what you said in persona comeback trailer video got me to do it. I love how you are true to yourself, doing what you want but still being respectful about it. And like you said, you see things for yourself first and figure things out rather than taking opinions from other people. And your ending thoughts made me happy that I did watch it. Your real self shines through in these reactions and your openness and maturity was the reason I came to patreon. So far you are the only reactor I follow here. Thank you for putting up these videos and showing us your thoughts.

Jez

idk why we as fans always bring these covers up in first place tho, specially after joon talked about how he feels about them... like... RM and mono are right there... his original work!! it's just beyond me atp...

soo lee

I absolutely loved this reaction. I loved how you explained your thoughts instead of just laughing at the song etc. also your face had me crying with laughter as im pretty sure thats what mine looked like the first time i heard it. It also nice to know that celebs have cringy pasts like the rest of us lol

Chelsea wischhusen

Please don't do this RM. He has apologized so many time regarding the song choice.

Penny D Young

i cant watch it im sorry

Emma

Whoa you’re taking this way too far saying things like army wouldn’t care if rm left bts. Why are you even saying that? Mono saved my life and I listened to it on repeat for 3 months straight when it first came out. Armys just got mono it’s 116th #1 in the world, his twitter posts get 2 million likes just like the other members, and as I’m writing this armys are celebrating #1000dayswithRM to celebrate the day he changed his names from rap monster to become the phenomenal artist he is now. There’s millions of people he’s influenced and continues to influence in amazing ways. Maybe you need to follow the right people on your social medias and stop generalizing millions of people just because you don’t see the love he gets on your timeline (also remember that you tailor your own content, who you follow, what type of content you see). I’m full OT7 btw, and it would break me if he left bangtan for some reason. He’s a beautiful lyricist and vital member of the group, and to say nobody cares is wrong. If it was another member, I would feel the same exact way about an older cringey song. The beautiful thing about Namjoon is that we’ve been able to see his growth. Even with his name change from rap monster to RM, he decided to become a producer, songwriter, and musician that wasn’t limited to a name that people would expect aggression from. He’s grown, he’s matured, he’s learned his lessons, he’s apologized. It’s not up to you to decide whether people can experience something or not. Armys need to be able to learn for themselves bangtan’s roots, their pasts, their setbacks and controversies, no matter how controversial some things may be. We cannot and should not erase history, especially when it’s an essential part of who Namjoon has become today: a sincere artist that has honed his craft after years of trials and hardships, victories and growth. We should be confident in the fact that people can learn about these things without feeling threatened about it unless you believe Namjoon truly hasn’t changed and is at risk for a ruined reputation. His actions speak louder than any song lyrics he may have rapped years and years ago. He is not defined by meaningless song covers, and you’re acting like he is. Let DT or any other army experience and decide for themselves. I’m sorry if this seemed harsh or rant-y, I really understand that it can be frustrating and embarrassing when it comes to things like this, but we need to have faith in the person Namjoon has become and trust that those who truly love bangtan and their actual music, and who are willing to see the artists they have turned out to be won’t hate them for something like this. It’s clear that DT understands Namjoon’s past and wanted to learn these thing for himself to better understand bangtan as they are today 💜 please take care and search for more Namjoon loving accounts so you can see the true love armys have for the worlds best leader 💜 I also realize this is an essay.. I’m sorry 😅

M G

Exactly! Seoul is such a masterpiece, why not react to that instead. Or just any other song lol

MintChoco

cringy af i was laughing the whole video😂😂 and loved your take on this!!!

Coffeepav

That's a cover and many cover songs for other rapper that has not very nice parts,, RM apologized many times for that song and because of that won't hear it since it's a moot point by now. wish you reacted to 4 o'clock instead, he had beautiful vocals in it and V did a great job insisting he sings part of it instead of just rapping

Hope

The way you thought it wasn't that hardcore until you heard the ending parts😂🤦‍♀️ but seriously, i really think you reacted to this song much more maturely than others have- you defo made some good points!

Aly

I like your analysis.

JSH

I love your ment and thoughts about it. Yes he was indeed a young boy back then and has definitely grown into a man that has gained so much respect from people all over the world with his intelligence and talent. Loved that you were open and respectful about it and explained why you wanna react to this to see the development of how much he has grown as an artist and as a person.💜💜

Joanne Magdalene

i love the fact that you are open. I love RM for his Brain and how he has grown to become just a fine young man. the past projects to these days are his story of growth as a person and an artist. thank you

Mimee Her

Please dont belittle the fandom as well. It's not the majority of armys that will not care. please don't do that. You're demeaning all of us by saying that no one cares about him. My timeline has always been full of love for the boys no matter what they do and i always block out those who are solos and mantis. If you see that on your timeline , just block. i am a JIn bias but i love every single one of them. And so does ALL the ARMYs. You cant call yourself an ARMY unless you love all. So that being said , i know this is not my place to intrude , but i hope you can curate your TL so you can have more peaceful and more loving ARMYs by your side. And that man was the start of bangtan , and whoever wants to take that away from him , will just look like a fool. We , as a collective , will always try to push the positives and throw away the negative. I get your point of namjoon having a small supporters but that is extremely not true! Not everything has to be on paper for it to be true. It's just that all the other manti's and solos are just freaking loud (about everything) so thats why you dont see the love that surrounds the boys. They are all equals. Fantastic equals. And together they are unstoppable. Sorry for the rant , but i hope you understand that ARMYs are never like that. Never.

Nurul Atika Mohd Yazid

Watching this as a constructive reactor as possible, we as the audience, should realize that it's just part of his time to learn the ropes if you must say.. He's younger and was still looking around for the right 'flavour' to suit the kind of material he would wanna be doing as an artiste. Anyway, for both video, for me, the entertaining part was your expressions as they change from one of bemused to sheer shock.. That was fun to watch!

Lenny Merlenna

This just shows how little ARMY thinks of RM, if it was any of the other members that made a song that they were ashamed of you would never hear about it again. But every single time there is a new BTS reactor and they seems to like RM as a potential Bias ARMY request this, I don't know if it's to say that the other members are better so forget about RM or what but I've been in this Fandom for about 3 years now and I can say this with conviction RM gets the least amount of love and respect regardless of what he does for the group. It's very sad, god forbids he decides to leave the group tomorrow majority of ARMY wouldn't care and it wouldn't have any effect on them popularity wise since his supporters in the fandom is so small.

Taniesia Brown

Expensive girl is like a secret Relict lol it ... keep it lock under basement for whenever a New Army ready for it 😂

Kina

Every ARMY eventually hears this--my only hope is that they understand it's a cover from back when RM was young and had a chip on his shoulder and still felt like he had to prove he could be a "hardcore hip hop rapper." But PLEASE don't post this on Youtube. You have a huge platform and YT is teeming with baby ARMYs who haven't had the opportunity to see enough of Namjoon's work to contextualize this for what it is. So many people like to meme it or make jokes out of it and Joon has clearly expressed how he'd very much like for this to not be a part of his legacy.

SNBangtan

I don't really mind you checking it out those songs .It was not his best song but he was young . I hate when people ask reactors to listen to this when they first learn about bts. They have such great music and lyrics to go through .They show them this I mean there is reason why he deleted them . I said this on youtube comment but i suggest listening to his mixtapes "RM " &" MONO ". To really understand Namjoon.

JoY

As far as I know, DT has never done any of the songs I requested. I requested Euphoria or Begin when DT just started doing bts videos, but he has never done those. Even if he doesn’t do those, I still support him and I have been his patreon supporter when he was just starting here. I am still patiently waiting for him to do the songs I requested and I have never bothered him on repeating on requesting those because I know those are already on his long list. Don’t tell me I am used to getting what I want because I am not. I am just frustrated that he chose these type of songs. Quit judging people and your tone is the one that is rude.

미카 모니카

Exactly. Everyone calm down. If you don't like it then don't see the reaction. We as Army know the story behind it. It's inevitable not to come across it while researching bts discography. No need to be rude. Remember your character as a person comes into light.

Jazmin Lopez

At least you’re reaction is better and more respectful than other ppl who have reacted to this. Now that these songs r out of the way please react to actual meaningful songs RM has made. Like his masterpiece of a mixtape/playlist MONO.

Juli

It was more of the tone. You know how many video requests a reactor gets? With your attitude I wouldn’t watch what you requested either. You may used to getting what you want, but that’s not how life works. Also you think RM knows when people want their videos? Oh, okaaaay,

Jill L

I'm going to say the same thing that I said in the one about trouble, I'm very grateful that they don't make this kind of songs anymore, because Then Could listen to Reggaeton but I hate it, The songs that RM do now are much more beautiful and deep than they add something beautiful to your life,

Dsenisse Valenzuela

Did I say anything that is controlling or anything rude? Did I say you cannot watch it? It is my own choice not to watch it. I am only one person who has been ignored with my song requests. I don’t know why you are here putting words in my mouth. Like I said, the man can do what he wants since it is his channel.

미카 모니카

Namjoon wants to forget about it that doesn’t mean we aren’t allowed to listen to it

Misgana Arhe

I hope I'm not coming across as criticizing, because that is not my intent. Every ARMY, at some point or other, will encounter these songs as we deep dive into the boys' discography. If you find them on your own, then you learn a bit more about their past. If you don't, then that's good, too. I just don't think it should be pushed like some sort of humorous rite of passage for new reacters by some ARMY. I don't blame DT for digging into it, or for sharing his thoughts on it. If I ran across something "questionable" that may or may not mar a stellar reputation of someone I admire, I would certainly dig into it, develop my own thoughts about it, and perhaps share those thoughts with like-minded people.

Lux

Some of these comments are coming across as really rude :/ Yes, Joon is embarrassed by this cover, but that doesn't mean DT shouldn't listen to it, and understand WHY he's embarrassed and the obvious growth that's occurred since the cover was made. He's kept it on Patreon, not taken it to YouTube, so there's no chance of an members who watch reactors coming across it. Let the man live! Geez. Thank you for the reaction, as always. I'm excited for you to check out MONO, as I know you'll really appreciate the deepness of that mixtape.

Crystal

Anyways, please react to MONO, HOPE WORLD and AGUST D full mixtape on youtube. We've been constantly requesting these solo works of the rappers, will you be reacting to those any time soon?

Rachel Hsu

All armys have learned about and experienced these songs.. why is it so wrong for him to do the same? Yes it’s controversial, and yes rm deleted it, but the growth is undeniable and Namjoon owned up to it and apologized. He’s a different person now and there’s no reason to attack people for exploring the Namjoon from years ago.. it doesn’t matter. It’s in the past and has stayed in the past. Namjoon is a beautiful lyricist and feminist that we know now and we can be confident in people seeing these songs but also seeing what growth happened because of them.

M G

Yeah..this song is only for a true army who can understand the boys' early days. The shock made my eyes & ears "bleeding" now but my love and respect for them healed it..instantly. I'm with you, DT. 😁💜

Melody Sy

When BTS met up with Pharrell at the 2018 BBMA's and He said them "we have to collaborate" I never dreamt this would be the result!!🤔😬🙄😂😂😂😂😂😂 There a clip of them meeting of that meeting.

Tanya perez

omg your reaction I'm dead

Yémi Cro

The you needed to backtrack right after you said its cute.... i cracked up

Aisha

Only the Korean rap part was written by RM. It is a cover song of Pharrell Williams, Take It Off (Dim The Light). Now it’s time to react to RM’s MONO.

Rainbow

When are you going to react to my city?💆🏽‍♀️😭😭🥺🥺🥺 I’m tired of commenting that everytime?

Berlyne Joseph

I didn’t watch it because I do respect that Namjoon wants to forget about this cover. It is DT’s channel and he can do what wants. I am just disappointed.

미카 모니카

You didn’t watch the video, did you? He explains why he wanted to watch it.

Jill L

Evidently those freaking out didn’t bother to watch him explain why he’s watching it

Jill L

I didn’t post this because people requested it. As I explained in the video, I posted this to find out for myself what all the controversy was about. And also give my opinion on why it shouldn’t be a big deal.

DT Parker

Lol your reaction was so funny..Also this is a cover song he didn’t write the lyrics but still😂😂

KIKI

I don’t know why DT would post this. He even posted trouble on YT for other people to find. Namjoon literally deleted this from his discography and he said he was embarrassed that he did this cover. I have been a supporter since you got at least 20 posts here and I have requested videos especially JK’s solo songs, but you managed to do a video on something that Namjoon hates. You could have just done mono or Persona at least. 🙃

미카 모니카

Btw i think this is a cover not a song he actually wrote himself

kaya_04

Hey DT, could you react to this Jimin video? https://youtu.be/RKPoo8k7HiM It's short but uff... you need to watch it 😳

Clareth Fajardo

Who requested this- 🤡 guys please stop 😔

kaya_04

I really appreciate that you understand the place RM was coming from when he made these covers. Understandably, he's embarrassed by these songs, and I wish ARMY would stop requesting them. I get that the beats are catchy, and we all go through that hormonal and experimental stage in our development. But NONE of us like having the most embarrassing moments during those stages constantly brought up and thrown in our faces. It's rude and disrespectful for ARMY to constantly tout these songs and keep them alive "for a laugh". And let's be real, no one is requesting them because the songs are good, they're requesting them to punk RM. We can't insist the world respect our boys as artists, and then play them for fools ourselves. Let's let these songs go where all our past embarrassing moments go - in our memories, to be learned from, but allowed to get dusty and forgotten.

Lux

Why this tho?

미카 모니카

THIS! The fact that people recommend this over mono is so exhausting

Gakuk

i've said this before but you should really react to PERSONA with RM (mv) and the explination video for it by DKDKTV. In that song you really get to know namjoon

HANNA

Like why? When we have a masterpiece MONO

Kookielove82

You just made my night 😂 I think your face looked just like mine the first time I heard this 😂

Kari Grønvold

Lmaoooo your reaction is everything 😂😂😂 i had to sit through the cringe by laughing

Linh Nguyen

Exactly there are better things of his and ppl are constantly bringing it back up

Gakuk

Shock value I guess

Keith Stephens

asia

I’m glad that you chose to put this on your patreon and not YouTube, cause namjoon has said that he is extremely embarrassed by this cover.

Keith Stephens

Almost peed myself laughing when you said “this isn’t so bad” knowing full well what is coming i just a couple of seconds 🤣🤣

Klara

Damn they really have you reacting to all of THOSE videos huh 💀 well you’ve been army for a while now, you had to see them eventually lmaooo. All jokes aside tho they are covers and they were done when they were still really young.

Keith Stephens

Omg pls let this cover die OUT-

Gakuk

When you said this is cute i thought....oh wait for it 🤣

PIDDI

Expensive girl and trouble are both covers, idk which one is worse but I'm thankful he decided to stop at those two.

Elsa

Im thanking god u posted this on patreon and not on youtube😂😂😂
