Hello everyone, my name is Naia
and I'm recording this video
for one reason:
Yulik: Today we'll watch
a MV from my favorite group
BeeTeeES
All in all, Yulik decide to ride the hype (and he did, seeing the never-ending
discussions in the comments). and additionally attracted hate from k-popppers
from all Mother Russia.
I'm placing a disclaimer here from the start, I'm not an army,
and I don't know BTS that well.
Right now I like another group, but it doesn't matter.
Soon enough you'll find out that Yulik's video can trigger
people who don't even care about k-pop at all.
Yulik: If only you know, how much I love BTS, and when their new MV,
Idol came out, I was so excited.
I was like, Yulik, here you are, you're their biggest fan.
You have to record a reaction.
In the beginning, I though that Yulik decided to
record a parody? and it didn't look that bad.
Until it did.
Yulik: This track surpasses even their other track, where they're like:
Oppa Gangnam Style!
Ehhh, so it's like joke, that all Koreans, and in general
all Asians look the same.
What, you didn't know that Psy is a member of BTS?
Yulik: Let's watch it.
I kinda know Korean, but just for you I turned on Russian subtitles.
Or it's more like I turned on English subtitles and turned on Auto-translation,
to make it clear.
This ingenius decision was one of the reasons,
why he didn't understand anything at all about this song.
Yulik: Look, it's them, it's them all!
Them!
BeeTeeES, yeah, wooo.
Girls, high five!
And here I thought again, maybe, just maybe, he's actually recording a parody of a k-pop reaction.
Yulik: Such beautiful girls!
And, nope!
Yulik: I won't go to South Korea, this is what
I understood now.
But I thinkm these guys could easily become idols for...
transvestites.
If you want to look like a woman, then
ask BeeTeeEs.
It's 21st century, but in our society, if a guy looks
groomed and well-dressed, that means he is gay or a transvestite. (And so what, if he is?)
You'll probably say: relax, it's just a joke!
Yes, it's a joke.
Yes, Yulik is having fun, but it doesn't change the fact,
that it's not funny.
And him saying that he won't go to Korea,
because he could confuse a boy with a girl, is also a joke,
but these jokes are not funny and borderline
racist and homophobic.
If a person has any self-respect,
they won't laugh at this.
One of my biggest complaints about this video is that
it lasts for almost 8 minutes, and there is not EVEN ONE good joke.
(After RM's lyrics about not caring about anything) Yulik: I can say whatever I want.
I can say that he looks like an ugly girl
with a bad haircut.
In general, I can imagine what's going on inside his head:
- Everyone is recording BTS reactions and getting a lot of views...
- How can I also join on the hype train?
- Should I record a reaction of my own?
- Eh no, I don't like this kind of stuff, then everyone will
call me gay.
- Eh, it's just for fun.
Looks like it happened exactly like this.
Yulik: I know all their names, here, Suni Vyni Hui,
Chun Chin Pao...
I know them all.
Add this to the "not funny jokes" collection.
No, but seriously, guys, who should laugh at this?
12yo boys who are jealous, because their classmates
stan BTS?
And here's the irony: the person laughing at other people's names
is the person who is constantly made fun of, because he has a feminine name.
Yulike: Nice, the guys are fine, the airplane flew over.
I don't know, what he is singing about< probably, about growing-up hardships,
when you are 14-15 yo, and your parents don't understand you.
But the visuals look nice.
All the giraffes, Africa, all of this... I like it.
No, of course, it's not funny, this part here is not funny,
but if the whole video was like this,
no one would've said anything to you, Yulik, you wouldn't have offended anyone.
Yes, it would've been a video that's not funny (and it still is), but at least no one would've been triggered.
Yulik: I do what I do, so pay attention
to your business. (It sounds unnatural when translated from English.)
Rap-advertisement of a bank on regional TV.
Ah, this... irl facepalm.
He was the one to turn the auto-translation on,
and he's the one laughing at it.
These are our comedy standards now.
Yulik: And you know, how many are they?
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and each of them gets a second
to look into the camera, a second to just get their close-up,
so every little girl, buttering their muffin,
thinking about a specific member from this group,
could come.
Here Yulik just signed his own death warrant.
This doesn't trigger me personally,
but honestly, a young
and charismatic guy like Yulik
must have a lot of female subscribers, who might be
not just his fans, but also BTS fans.
And here he just moved on from insulting
precious oppas to insulting actual fans.
There's a question I keep asking myself: what for?
What kind of sabotage is this?
It's not that I feel bad for him, but did he realize
what he was doing?
And yes, this video brought him 500K views,
and that's just average numbers for him.
On the other hand, it brought a lot of negativity,
people lost respect,
no one is going to respect him more for this video.
People, who don't like BTS,
the won't search for this video, but people
who will look for this video - Yulik's potential or actual subscribers,
after watching it,
will likely not form a positive opinion.
I already said it, if you laugh at jokes like these,
then you have really low standards.
Yulik: They look like candy, gift candy,
cheap gift candy.
Especially the guy on the left.
Just a minute and a half passed, so hard to watch,
so many things happened.
They were in Africa, had a plane flying towards them, they've been saying
that you can;t make them love themselves.
Actually, not that many, but fuck, it's so hard to watch.
The funniest thing about this video is that Yulik
doesn't understand that while he makes fun of BTS,
they make fun of people like him.
He doesn't understand the meaning of the song, since even the chorus
is translated wrong.
Instead of "You can't stop me loving myself",
there's "You can't make me love myself".
It completely the opposite.
Yulik: Why, is there a lot of meaning?
Couldn't they shorten the track to 1 minute? Just give each on them one line?
I read the comments.
Dear ARMYs, sorry, but you're also over the top (Regarding the comments on the original reaction video)
This song doesn't have a deep meaning.
It's about being cool, loving yourself the way you are,
and not caring about what haters think.
It has a meaning, a good one, but it's not that deep.
It is pretty straightforward.
There's no point in judging him (Yulik) for not understanding the song, when the auto-translate doesn't work properly.
It's true that Bangtan have songs about other things,
including what you wrote in the comments,
but let's not expect Yulik to know their entire
discography.
Yulik: Why is the rabbit on the moon?
Is it some kind of symbolism?
The rabbit is fucking the moon?
There's no way he would have known about the moon rabbit,
you have to take interest in Asian culture to know
at least something.
The most interesting part is that he kind of guessed it.
Moon rabbit (according to one of the stories) is making rice cakes on the moon
and it is sometimes used
as an euphemism for sex.
Yulik: It looks like those videos that an old woman filmed with greenscreen,
where she was swimming in her bathtub.
I get the impression that he really thinks that BTS
don't have enough money to film a proper MV,
that they didn't intend the greenscreen to be like that.
When in reality everything in this MV is on purpose,
and this is what the MV is about.
But Yulik doesn't understand the lyrics, so what else can I say.
(I'm getting too much into this song while editing lol)
Yulik: You know, it feels like,
a million different pictures, that aren't connected in any way,
were mixed together,
then they added 50 liters of syrup, and this is what came out -
this MV.
This is what Ii wanna say.
STUPID SHIT
BY STUPID SHIT
This reaction... is something else.
I look like someone made a parody of
someone making a reaction, and then Yulik
made a parody of that person.
But a parody like this could only be funny,
if Yulik would be laughing at the homophobes, but here
he looks more like one.
This the 10th time I'm mentioning, I'm not ARMY.
Even if he insulted someone, called them
cheap candy or and ugly girl, those were not the reasons
I got triggered. (I mean that the actual attitude is even worse that the insults.)
I got triggered, because he's acting like trash for no reason,
saying inadequate things,
insulting half of his target audience.
I already mentioned this, it's straight-up sabotage.
What was he thinking?
Who is this video meant for?
He had so many opportunities to make a better reaction,
make it funny, but Yulik decided to put in the minimum amount of effort.
The only thing he put effort in is the blush, shirt and hat.
But if we are to state a point of view,
we shouldn't just protect just BTS, but k-pop in general, Koreans, Asians.
He's laughing at feminine guys.
They aren't even that feminine.
He's just trying too hard.
The problem isn't in one individual, it's in our society.
Yulik wouldn't have uploaded a video like this, if he wasn't sure
that the majority of his subscribers would like it.
I'm not ARMY, but knowing what the group went through...
Of course, they produce pop songs,
but it's nothing too cheesy.
Or maybe I just got used to k-pop by now, but
they have good, very aesthetically pleasing MVs.
And Yulik had to cherry-pick things.
If any of Yulik's subscribers are still watching this video,
I won't tell you
to love BTS.
If you don't like k-pop, it's fine.
I have a lot of friends who don't like k-pop,
and we have a normal relationship.
But as Yulik's subscribers, you do realize
that this kind of content is shit.
I also watch his videos, so I feel even worse.
I wish to never see such a racist
and homophobic reaction from him again.
There's no point in giving birth to all this negativity.
And people who don't like BTS,
why do you waste energy to argue with fans?
You should be mad at Yulik, because he is the one who brought up the topic.
In general, ARMYs reacted to this for a reason.
Yulik insulted and downgraded people, liked weird comments.
Yulik should know that judging people based on their music taste
is not very nice.
It's a pity, that Yulik couldn't make something funny.
Even Pewdiepie had a video dedicated to k-pop,
including BTS.
He also wanted to make fun of k-pop, and he did in a way,
but he didn't insult or offend anyone, he objectively said,
that the guys are beautiful, the choreography is awesome, the MVs are filmed well.
But Yulik was watching the MV, trying to find every small thing he could,
to joke about it.
Well, he didn't succeed.
That's all.
*mic drop*
