At the point of July 2, videos with titles such as 'BTS REACTION TO PLAYING WITH FIRE', 'BTS reaction BLACKPINK As If It's Your Last', can be easily found on Youtube. Each video clip has garnered 2.8 million and 1.3 million views each.

But are these 'real' videos of BTS members reacting to BLACKPINK's music video?

They are NOT!

The original video is the clip released last year November, in which BTS members watched and reacted to the music video of MIC DROP one hour before its official release. In other words, BTS is not watching BLACKPINK's MV, but they're watching their own MV.

It looks like some fans are editing videos like this because they think the two groups go well together. As both of them are two of the most representative groups of K-pop, these kinds of excessive interest and love are being poured down on them.

But we should be aware that they're 'fake'. Don't be deceived!
