Not saying it will or not for everyone but the hook threw me first listen, probably because of expectations. After a few listens it definitely grew on me to the point where I love it, and definitely falls in-line with the “pink” venom concept. So damn sassy and hard. End of the day, I was entertained. Thanks for your genuine reaction.

The Jenlisa rap was backed by a sample of Ice Cube/Eazy-E's part of "Gangsta Gangsta" by N.W.A. Taylor Swift reference is "look what you made us do".

It's weird though, when I first listened to it, the chorus got me hooked. I loved the chorus and how simple the choreo was for that part too, it was very nice. And then everything fell into place. But yeah everyone just has a different taste in music. But the chorus was like A+ for me!

Like so many I was there for the live premiere and when the countdown hit zero and PV started my jaw dropped and stayed dropped - until the chorus. I honestly didn't know what to think because it felt like the song suddenly deflated then skyrocketed again with the Jenlisa rap lines. Up then down again and at the end I didn't quite know how to take it. I listened to it again and it hit me completely differently and I realized that it was an iconic Teddy earworm that like others have said works like magic. It's the part of the track that I wake up at night singing in my head. This song has pushed Don't Know What to Do out of first place for me and I can't get enough of it. Pink Venom describes this perfectly.

Jennie is everything in my heart omg i dont know how much i love her😘 she so swagy 🥵

I liked the song from the start, absolutely a bop, so glad they are back! Can't wait for their album!🔥

The chorus is the addictive part for me. It works like magic. The more you listen to it the more you would love it. I have contributed at least 200 views to the video lol teddy is a genius for making songs that the more you listen to it the more you like it

Would they have gone for their usual bombastic hard hitting hook, everybody would have complaint, that its just the same old formula. Now they're going for something different for the hook (even paying homage to classic hip hop) and everybody complaints that it is to different and not hard hitting enough. Same back when their album released. "How You Like That" got bashed for being to familiar. "Lovesick Girls" got bashed for being to different. Today both are considered among their best title tracks. But with a new release they really can't win regardless of what they do. For me the hook in Pink Venom also doesn't work, but I get and respect what they did there. Its just not exactly my personal taste. Still very happy with the release.

This song and video have been a global smash, breaking records left and right, but yet so many reactors have had to address the enormous amount of negativity in their comment sections. It's obvious that BP has become a very polarizing group, almost from the start. But haters seem to be on an agenda to intensify their campaign. Of course there's no denying that Blinks have also have gotten too spoiled with their unrealistic expectation from the group. Combine the two, then we have a situation where the narrative focuses too much on the negativity. What's often ignored is that BP's popularity still continues to grow despite their lack of material.

BP's music really relies on catchy hooks in their chorus and a bunch of filler words. That's really all there is, which makes sense why people would hate or criticize this song...bc it's the same thing as all the others. It's also the reason why all I see are people commenting on the chorus bc that's evidently the most interesting part of the song compared to all the other parts of the song, like the pre-chorus and the bridge, which are just lazy melodies that sound really awkward; it's just some random vocal line that doesn't make sense with the song.

its not an unrealistic expectation wanting the artists you like to evolve and become more involved in the creative process. especially with a group that is guaranteed success whether their music is good or not (evident when they sell out before the music is even heard). some groups are out here writing and producing their own music, doing incredible full out choreography and yet theyre not respected because they dont have marketing on their side nor movie deals and endorsements to carry them.

Soo I liked the song. Agreed the Jennie and Lisa rap duo was my favourite part. This is literally my first blackpink song. I got into kpop through SKZ and haven't really vibed with a lot of group's sound, but I liked Lisa's solo project and made a point to look out for any new release from the group. They didn't disappoint me. Was it a song to make me think about deep life issues? No. But it didn't need to be, not every song needs to do that. Sometimes you just want a sassy feel good song and this is the vibe I got from this. I love the visuals of the video. I am not blown away, but I am intrigued and I want to hear the rest of the album. *I guess as I go back into their catalogue I'll see - or hear - how it stacks up to their other releases?

My Pink Queens slayed it..hip hop chill sound

LMFAO not the “teddy antics” at the end 😭😭

I was like you guys with that chorus...first time but you know what after i listened more times with good speaker and dang that chorus is super addictive and grow on me so hard... it was weird experience to me.. !!!

Kick In the door wavin the coco (biggies kick in the door wavin the four four) she also refers to coco chanel I bring the pain (method man) Couldn't get a dollar out of me (lisa referencing her money song The hook is singing about venom but they're singing it all sweet and innocent like (contrast to the verses going so hard) Hook choreo is mainly for tiktok/youtube challenge so everyone can dance along.. But i think they deliberately left out the rest of the choreo because they're performing it this Sunday at the VMAS! It's interesting, I noticed reactors that are first time listeners to blackpink really enjoyed the hook.. And people who have known their old songs are the ones who are not as satisfied with this hook. I think it's good that they are getting new fans with this song!

I get the homage they were paying to artists they respect and I liked the song itself, the girls look amazing, the sets are so cool, jisoo playing the traditional Korean instrument was awesome. Having said all that - this doesn't show a lot of growth in their music, like if they were a rookie group in their 2nd year then yes but they're not.

THE MAIN RAPPER JENNIE IS FINALLY BACK chaesoo vocal jenlisa rap ! they r so talented and this is a pre-release single the real comeback in september i cannot wait

This song paid A LOT of homage to artists they respect and this song is a grower. I get your let downs and frustrations and obvious choice to veer away from BP but it's okay, you do you.

My only criticisms about the song is the chorus (lyrics wise) and the ending. Overall, the song was cool. We’re in a TikTok era now so a lot of artists, not just BP, are creating dances/songs that are great for TikTok and Pink Venom gave me that impression, especially with the chorus.

Yo i must say that this is the most honest kpop reaction channel out there

thanks for the honest reaction! I think many ppl were taken back by the chorus bc it's dif from what ppl expect from bp but like many have said in the comments the chorus is def a grower and really catchy. I think this song is a perfect pre-release hope to see you guys react to the main title track !

LISA did everything A+ she's insane in this comeback. She showed everything and she nailed each. JENNIE's on fire in this comeback too, love to see her rap and to show she's the main rapper. ROSÉ's voice is so angelic and sooo goood to hear. JISOO's ethereal beauty and great voice need I say more. This is their best comeback for me. Everything's on point. I am so proud of them. So excited for their second album coming this September. It's gonna be insane. 💎🔥

"its tedy formulaic" big yup

Pretty interesting you pointed out that the chorus sounded childish, but that’s to please those who sound innocent but are naughty at the same time😆 They had to please the listeners in different angles lol.

OMG YES AMAZING

I’m not a huge fan this, but I think it listens better on its own than with the MV. I think it makes sense as a B-side on an album, even maybe as an opening track with that chanting in the beginning. And I’ve definitely caught myself singing the chorus out loud a couple of times since the release! If it’s one thing that BP does well, it’s making earworms

thank you for the reaction guys i love your videos

They paid homage 2 lots of 90s hip hop sounds. Love them!

Jenlisa rap on fire but i love OT4 so much 😭🖤💖👑✨🔥

I think the hook is a grower. It's not hard as the rest of the song but I think that's what they were going for . The hook is their "pink" side of their concept while the rest of the song is the "black" concept. Sort of like an anti drop but not totally an anti drop if that makes sense

I knew I could count on you guys to be honest a lot of what you all stated I agree with

Talking abt the hook it's 50/50 either you love it or hate...at this part they tried to play off... everybody wud expect a crazy drop but then u hear that...they got u... we knw their taste obviously they wud have processed a lot before any decision,for me it's very catchy and addictive...it's just fine!

loved it FIRST LISTEN dancing to it is j so addicting

The song pays Homage to many artists but also has sublimal messages to haters and other girl groups I seen a video that breaks down everything jennie rap at beginning was biggie small line

I agree. The hook in the chorus didn’t grab me right away but it did grow on me after a few listens. In “how you like that” the verses were pink and the chorus was black. In this song, it’s reversed with the verses being black and chorus being pink. I understand why they went this way because if they kept repeating the same formula all the time people will eventually lose internet in their music. I noticed after watching several other reaction channel reviews of Pink Venom is that the channels who have never listened to Kpop before did not have issue with the chorus. It was mainly the channels who have been Blackpink fans for a long time that had issues with the chorus. I felt the same way when I first heard “How you like that”. I didn’t like it at first because I was expecting it to sound like “kill this love” and “ddu” but after a few listens it became my most favorite song of Blackpink. And after a few listens of “Pink Venom” it is now my most favorite song of Blackpink. And I’ve literally watch this music video over a dozen times now. So the producers know what they’re doing. And I’m really excited in what comes out next from Blackpink.

I knew youd be honest with this.

The hook definitely is a grower, I actually really love it now than the first time I heard it

the hook is the best part IMO.

Great Reaction The Report Card! BlackPink mellowed out the drops for a reason! They are doing a KZread Shorts Challenge for fans to do their version of that part! And I think they will choose a winner! And Jennie told us that Pink Venom is just for fun and not for breaking records OOP's!

JENNIE The Best main rapper the best lead vocal the best dancer the best visual ACE OF KPOP

The song isn’t bad. MY PROBLEM (my own opinion) is the chorus feels empty. And I don’t mean with the music. I mean the lyrics. It seems like they could have reworded it and made it more dynamic even with the same beat. Like these girls are powerful. With the title they could have done better by them

I like the chorus, and the song in general. But I like the rap parts far more than the vocal lines. 1080p with the snake reference. If it's a python, does that mean it's going to slowly strangle you? And you'll realize you love it in a few weeks when the hook suddenly pops into your head?

Personally, the part that disappointed me was the final stretch and the closing (the "ratatata") I think it was unnecessarily long and could have been better 🤔 but still i really liked the inclusion of the Korean instrument gayageum, also that Arab/Egyptian sound that is heard in some parts and finally the fact that Jennie participated with Lisa in the rap also seemed very successful 👍🏻

I love The antidrop chorus it brings another version of them

There are Blinks who like 'Crazy over you' and who don't. Those who love this song (myself including) definitely like 'Pink Venom' as well. This is all we wanted, another classic Blackpink banger with unique sound, especially in low frequencies. Those who don't like Pink Venom most likely they don't like Crazy Over You too. Most of them probably listen Blackpink music on laptop speakers. Those who like PV but don't like COY they should give it another listen. They may find out why many of us call Crazy Over You the best song in The Album in terms of sound production. Another way to describe Blinks is those who listen to kpop and who listen to Blackpink only. Someone should make a venn diagram out if this 😉 Me personally I'm Blackpink only and everything related to these 4 ladies. Also like K/DA (all songs but one). NMIXX sound is very promising. Recently I'm listening only instrumental versions and some good mashups and remixes. I wonder if there are more people with similar profile as mine. 🖤🎧💗

Amazing song

I like the rest of the song, but the chorus still doesn't hit for me after several listens. I agree with what Dame said, it feels a bit too cutesy in a way that drives me away from a lot of 4th gen kpop, but the verses are fire. Their albums always have some gems, so I'll be there for it.

Why is not sound?

I see Lisa in the thumbnail and HAVE to click and watch the video. She was the most tweeted member with more than 1.5 million Twitter mentions and most searched member on KZread and Google. And you can see why, she owned this. She showed her superior skills as a rapper, her addictive bass vocals with a tribute to Rihanna, and her powerful dance too!

I can't believe I'm defending this since I don't really like the song, but I kinda liked the pared down chorus. It puts more focus on the verses. It's even more apparent that the chorus isn't the main part since it's only repeated once, which is pretty unusual.

When I first listen to the hook. I was the same. I wasn't feeling it but it was different from all their other hooks especially the tone Jennie and Lisa decided to sang in. It was different. To me the hook has to be listened to multiple times for you to start liking it, and start singing along with it.

is blackpink all about the drop now? man

Let's not forget rose and jisu came in with with a vocals team attack as well.

The song is pretty good in a lot of parts i just hope they could write something in other than ratatata.

Well I like the video and their fits....especially Jennie. I like anti-drops normally. I don't dislike it.

Yes Im not really a fan of the song The chorus is not my taste and the last part with ratatata too, but the video is really great and I love the girls

Childish is an exaggeration but i like the simplicity of the hook actually the rest of the song is goes crazy the song needed it to be honest

This is a homage from Teddy and the girls to what influenced them to wanting to become artists. I got up to see it drop and I have never done that and truth be told I wish I hadn't. It took me 3 listens to get the chorus so I just listened not watching the MV and it worked that chorus is actually very well places that is why BP are so successful they never do what you think they will do. Jennie quoting Biggy Smalls was on point and as for the swing the coco the actual item you saw is the most expensive item you can ever own by Chanel. The red carpet is obvious she is nicknamed human Chanel. Lisa everyone knows that line came from RiRi and pon de replay. However the following line makes no sense can't get a dollar outa me. Is from 50 cents. The thing is pon de replay was released in 2005 blackpink did not launch until 2016 but with the girls using it the track has now got new fresh ears and my daughter who doesn't know Rihanna has now bought the original so instead of people accusing them of appropriation when it is inspiration and appreciation. The line from Rose look what you made us do is from TAYLOR SWIFT. The entire song is a an appreciation of what they love and Lisa is well known for living the old school style and vintage clothing There is references right through the song to BIG BANG to 2NE1. This is a pre-release which means it is a B SIDE and it has this much of an impact. Then the follow up is a doozy

You have almost no time to take anything in, especially the choreo because it cuts every half a second or so. I enjoyed the video but man that editor could layoff a bit I feel.

I’m pretty sure the hook threw off everyone at first. Just like you guys said, it’s not expected for blackpink to have a minimal/empty chorus. I like that it was different tho, otherwise people would just complain about how it’s the typical Teddy copy and paste formula.

Not their best song but this is good
