I have watched hundreds of reactions of GENTO and this by far is the BEST....

This is why I like listening to professional musicians. Very intelligent analysis. Thank you for this RV. I hope to see more RVs from you to SB19 songs.
#SB19_GENTO

I really appreciate reactors who can smartly breakdown SB19 lyrics and appreciate the metaphors, allusions, and literary devices. More SB19 reactions please.

If I'm not mistaken, as of now, you are the only reactor who paid attention and understood their use of "Darna" in the lyrics. I'm impressed. Thanks for reacting and understanding the song!

Moniko came from a Filipino tongue twister: "minikaniko ni MONIKO ang makina ng minika ni monika" which translates to - "Monico mechanically fixed the machine of monica's mini car. Context from Josh's rap (english translated): "I am my own mechanic, no need for Moniko"

You should see the music video of their newest single “DAM”…. It’s insane

The visual and wordplay at its best. Every shot has meaning, and it's cool to see everything "gold" in the mv. Golden Hour, Goldfish, Chimi, the golden retriever, etc.

Wow. You explained the song meaning precisely. And i love the way how youre taken by the song youre listening.

THAT AWESOME SONGWRITING WAS BROUGHT TO YOU BY NONE OTHER THAN SB19’S LEADER (musical genius) PABLO!

Wow! I am a Filipino who didnt appreicate their music, until now. I am old school but this made me realize that I am shallow and not really that intellectual. Thanks for this

Yes! Fans of groups like SB19 appreciating the mind of KH when it comes to analyzing lines. He is the best out there guys. He doesn't miss much when it comes to these stuff. He's like a savant

I'm amazed that a foreign reactor like you can understand what SB19 is trying to say but Filipino haters says that they don't understand a thing in this Gento lyrics. Looking forward for a Crimzone RV. Thank you so much! ❤ subscribing..

Great interpretation!! On point, there are about 5 Filipino cultural references embedded in the MV. Pablo is a master lyricist promoting the culture and heritage in most of their songs.

WOW this is the kind if reaction I want to see. I legit thought only Filipinos will understand the hidden and deeper meanings of the song, I'm happy there are people like you

The transition with Justin's hand taking the sun in his hand refers to him being the creative director and giving his 100% in making his ideas into reality.

This is an intense analysis of the whole MV cutting it down to wordplay, lyrics, visuals, transitions, choreo...etc. Love it. Hoping to watch more SB19 RVs. Tysm.

Top notch reaction! This man knows context clues so well. For a non-Filo, he sure knows how to break a video down. 🔥

Your explanatiom is on point pablo the genius behind the lyrics and the metaphors He really is amazing 💖💖💖🌻💗

never seen a reactor disecting this mv this good. i have watched the music vid number of times and thought that i already know everything about this song. but this gorgeous young man right here opened whole new gateways that no one understood till now. another legit reactor worth supporting.

Yours is the smartest reaction of Gento there --you picked up all the messages of the smartly written lyrics. Now sharing this to friends to fully appreciate Gento. Thanks.

I would like to commend you of all the foreign reactors you are the only one that I've seen that have dissected each scene and interpreted it accurately as if you understand Filipino culture and wrote it with all the metaphors and wordplays done in this song. Even Darna✨ herself would applaud you 👏. Thank you for reacting .New subscriber here

Knox hope you're doing well. Sb19 just released their comeback single "DAM". Would love to hear your analysis and breakdown for this one. Congrats on 1.5m subs!

I like your interpretations to this epic song….you’re on point!…Pablo who wrote the lyrics, with the help of his co-members, was using wordplay, as you have mentioned…thank you so much for reacting, much appreciated!..good luck to your RUclips channel!

Best song reacted by one of the best REACTORS, KNOXHILL thank u..love from 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

Gento is not just an ordinary song. It has very deep meaning . Thank you for elaborating .

This was my very first SB19 reaction vid that I watched, even tho I always see thumbnails about them on RUclips. I thought Gento was just a hype, dance craze mediocre OPM release. But when I watched this reaction last September 2024, that's when I realized everything(wordplay/bars/etc) so started following them and now I can't get out of the rabbit hole.
They released Dam 8 days ago, and for me, this is the best so far out of their hype/banger songs. There are 2 videos I'm waiting at the moment:
1.) Simon Servida's Dam breakdown video on how they created the beats
and
2.) Reaction video from the very first RUclipsr that made me love SB19 music, Knox Hill.
And I thank you, bow!
🙇‍♀

Hi Kh! I can't believe you're reacting to GEnto, it's becoming a hit in Asia. You're awesome!

did not expect this and it's a pleasant surprise🎉

most intelligent analysis so far for Gento

Whoa! On point analysis. Gento’s beat is very catchy but digging into it’s message & clever lyricism makes it more than just a bop song. It is SB19’s declaration of who they’ve become. Gold! Rare & polished through time.

I discovered them last month they are really talented and first group from Philippines that I fell in love with. This is probably my fav song from them💜

Very very intelligent reaction ❤your on the spot ❤very very good ❤thanks for giving justice to the MV ❤your the best reactor I’ve watched so far ❤new subs here

Your reaction is on point! from the lyrics to the choreo - you are a genius👏 👏👏
How come you knew DARNA?

Your interpretations are 😘👌🏼 Thank you for taking time to dig deeper into the melody and the meaning behind this song. As a Filo I appreciate the effort you took to make this! 🫡

Awesome.. I love how you explain how these Gento SB19 music Video performances ❤ Thank you !! You’re amazing well said!!👏👏🇨🇦

Any Reaction to SB19 and Ez Mil will be highly appreciated by all of us 🇵🇭 THANK YOU!
Your interpretation is on point. LOVED IT!
You’re also very talented Rapper/Artist and lyricist. You’re the whole package. My whole family 🇵🇭🇺🇸🇲🇽enjoy watching you too. We will support you Knox Hill.

This is the only reaction for Gento that I feel proud to be a Filipino like SB19
Thank you for this.☺️

Didn't expect this! 😅 Welcome to the world of the biggest boy group in Southeast Asia.

You gave the best translation of this music video. No wonder many of their fans are not only of younger generations but even the older ones saw n heard the deep meanings that caught attentions. Many of their fans are professionals and intellectuals who saw the genius in these artists. In my 60s n retired , first ever a fan of a band.

more SB19 reactions pls, their music is very creative and genius

Just try to watch all the music of sb19/mahalima whether it is live, concerts and mv☺️👌 t y so much for supporting our beloved boys🥰

One of the better and intelligent RV given to GENTO of SB19. Your thoroughness impresses me.Although you miss a few real meanings like Stell's waterless shower and the browless four castigated by a bathrobed Stell,but nevertheless you hit the main score of this iconic banger,the double meanings,wordplays and the intricacy of beats and rhythms and imagery connecting to the meanings. I love you know about Filipino folklore like Darna and the stone. If you peruse more of SB19 works you will marvel with the group's precocity.They happen only once in Philippine music history ir maybe the world.Thank you for your time and effort! Support SB19!

Can I just say, of all the reactors I've watched for this MV of SB19. You just get all of it. I love the interpretations I love how you're not just focused on the beat, rather the songwriting, the meaning behind each lines of the songs. Just wow. Breath of fresh air. Kudos!🫡😁

Well translated and delivered of the meaning of the song! I'm amazed ☺️Kindly react to their ep song "mana" and "what" as well. Thanks

"Knox, your reaction to SB19’s Gento was truly outstanding! Your detailed analysis of their performance, vocals, and choreography showed deep appreciation for their artistry. I especially loved how you connected the song’s message to Narda/Darna-symbolizing transformation, resilience, and strength. Just like gold (ginto) is refined through fire, SB19’s journey reflects hard work and perseverance. Your insightful commentary made this reaction even more meaningful. Keep up the amazing content!"

You are the MAN,KNOX HILL! Super Dope reaction.Your reaction is Exactly GENTO!
Thank you for the reaction. You certainly know how to dig for GOLD when everyone else does not see it even if it was in front of them!

I am rewatching this RV because only KH who dug in and understood the meaning of Gento rich lyrics, production, rich culture, choreo, cinematography, costume etc. chef's kiss 👌I wish he would do more SB19 content. From Group acts to solo performance. Will patiently wait for that day. 💅🙏

Knox, thank you for the breakdown, especially from rapper/artist experience. You made and caught some parts that few RV weren't able to catch, be it Filipino or non. You just know how to interpret instruments, visual and technical. I wish there was MV for MANA by SB19 🦇

"SB19's 'Gento' music video is pure fire! 🔥 The energy, the choreography, and the visuals are on a whole new level. It's like they took us on a journey to another dimension. And can we talk about the vocals and rap skills? A total knockout! SB19 never fails to amaze and 'Gento' is proof that they're taking their artistry to new heights. I can't be the only one hitting replay on this masterpiece!

It’s so surprising for your RV to SB19, they’re sooooo hot right now not only in ASIA but the Billboard Chart… for sure you’ll get more support from their mass supporters/ fans.🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏

Your reaction is by far the most comprehensive. Salamat!

Waitin for SB19 DAM mv reaction bruh🙏❤️

Your insightful analysis of this song truly showcases your deep understanding of music and its profound ability to convey emotions and stories. Your commentary adds a whole new layer of appreciation to the experience of listening. Thank you for sharing your expertise! 🎶👏 so far the best reaction video! Thank youuu ❤❤ welcome to our Pinoy pride SB19

i love listening to your detailed analysis...you greatly explained what it is all about

Thanks so much for breaking it down and appreciating word per word all the hard work that SB19 has to offer with the song Gento. I love your reaction and you're talented as well. Much respect and love to you!

You literally dissected every single detail and pull a narrative out of it. Clever. 👌🏻

Welcome to the lyrical land of Pablo! I loved how you pointed out how clever the lyrics are and all the tricks Pablo employed playing with sounds and vowels and rhyme to produce those flows and accentuate the rhythm of the song. Enjoyed this reaction thoroughly 🎉❤😊

YOU ARE AWESOME AND such an "analytical music reviewer" you are an "in-depth music commentator." your ability to vividly convey details is as beautifull as the song you were listening to. Your keen attention to the lyrical detail or your vivid and meticulous approach to the song is ADMIRABLE...

Wow,a very detailed and informative reaction,i love how you dig on the lyrics.Thank you for this.God bless you.Thank you for supporting SB19.

The best reaction, every scene you explained it very well Indeed!👏👏
you are a great reactor❤

Much appreciated your lyrics & visual breakdown/interpretation as always Sir. Pablo (SB19's leader, CEO, producer, songwriter) is really a genius & amazing in word plays/bars/schemes that even on their diss tracks he doesn't used curse words just to get their message crossed. Up next CRIMZONE. 😊

I have seen many reactors regarding Gento but your the only can explain well the meaning of this song. 👏👏👏

Wow I love your reaction and digging deeper into the lyrics world play absolutely correct!!! ❤❤❤❤ can’t wait to the next sb19 reaction! Crimson please!!! 😊

Love your reaction with #SB19 Gento with detailed breakdown. Got hooked with them. More please.
React to their Gento extended concert version with mega production and some new dence choreography with One Zone concert. I was there and one of the best concert experience.
React to I want you (R&B). Bangers: Crimzone, Mana wish bus; What MV, Bazinga MV. Ballads: Ilaw, Liham and Mapa.

Thats our PPOP KINGS from philippines...lyrics,Mv,sounds or instruments are all connected together

knox!! @@KnoxHill dam is out! can't wait for your breakdowns!

Its great to hear someone who finally react with the lyrics and not just being carried away and dance with just the beat of their music though I'm entertained with their dance moves too. This song is truly GINTO!

Honestly, the best bar for bar & visual analysis I've seen for Gento. Knox Hill Certified.💯
Yes definitely different from Mapa. They deliver both bangers & beautiful ballads. All rounder group.
I would love an EZxSB19 collab w/ a KH analysis one day.

I love what they’re doing with their voices with that raw edgy sound at the end of phrases. Dope!

You should check out their latest release SB19 Dam MV. I’m sure you’ll be equally if not more amazed

Very thorough interpretation. Love it. SB19 is undeniably talented. Ang GENTO is truly gold.💙😍

The best reaction of the music video I’ve ever seen. Thank you for explaining music video intricately🙌💕
Looking forward for more videos.

So far, this is the "reactor" that I thought who understood the whole entire music video. Even the rhymes and metaphors and transition of the story line being used in this song, including how the rap has been performed. Even the drum thing that he said, I can relate to it since my passion is drumming. I agree with him...very well said ❤

Wow this is a great reaction video! Thanks for that. Im in awe when people get the hidden meaning of this song, i truly appreciate people like you. SB19 is awesome and talented young men. I wish that their careers will continue to grow and prosper same for you. Have a great day.😊

Going back to your RV because after I watched all reactors for Gento you are so far the best one yet! The bars, even the composition of the instrumental you have noticed them! Hope you will react to other SB19’s MVs!! 🙌🙌

Damn Knox.. what a great interpretations and breakdowns of the lyrics, music and the mv. Great rv man and thank you for reacting to Gento

Wow
Your reactions was amazing .
You interpreted the song so well.
Now I get the meaning deeply .

I love the way you're dissecting every part of the music video and at the same time appreciating the meaning behind it. Thank you for reacting to their music video!

I love it when reactors aren't just "okay this is Gento 🔥🎉🤺👁📣". You see the graphics at face value but atst, also digging about the lyricism. Love how you input your interpretation with the rap lines as well and the story that they are trying to tell.

My gosh you're the only one who really got the meaning behind the MV.THANK YOU SO MUCH.❤❤❤

Very nice commentary & reaction Pablo is so Smart he knows how to play with words everything in this video has meaning . Thanks for supporting SB19. Mahalima❤❤❤❤❤ ❤❤❤

I really appreciate on how you dissect every line of the song, its rhythm and your interpretations that brought Gento an amazing song. Thank you very much and anticipating your reactions to other SB19 songs.

OMG! You understood the whole message, visuals, metaphors, apart from the rapping techniques! Glad I came across this video reaction. I better understood the song because of your explanation...btw, I'm Filipino & love SB19. It's ironic 'cause the song was in my language but you were able to dissect it. Amazing! Now I appreciate it even more. ❤

Thank you for your reaction and good interpretation.. SB19 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

WOW! you understood the hidden meanings , I really appreciate it:) you are smart!

woAh..goosebumps from beginning til the end..i'm amazed coz every breakdown was on point.. hope you react for more SB19 songs.. :) 💙

This is the most detailed and knowledgeable reactor I've stumbled upon despite the difference in culture. He have done his research well, great job.💗

Been waiting for you to pick up Gento for a reaction ever since Mapa, and aswesome analysis as usual. ❤ One of the first and only reactors to pick up the Darna reference. You really got me surprised you knew that. 😮😮
The mechanic part is from an old Tagalog tonguetwister which basically translates to "Moniko mechanized Monika's machine."
in this context it's basically "I don't need any outside help to get me going. Imma do it myself"

New subscriber here..i love how you react to SB19's songs and MV's. You are so keen in every details. You are so great as a reactor❤️🇵🇭

Omg the legend! Your reactions are always on point and insightful. The word play in this song really is amazing thanks for the breakdown

I'm mopping the floors now while listening to sb19. Just wanna say that it's my First time hearing a foreign reactor really understanding this song. Very dope interpretation. Now back to mopping

Oh my you are such a great reactor!! I can't believe you are disecting each line in the song, I am soooo impressed! Thank you for reacting to our PPOP kings. More of this pls...

The smartest reactor I ever watched who's able to dissect every lyrics and explains how he understood it٫ Amazing and at the same time very impressive ❤️

More REACTIONS to THE BEST GLOBAL 🇵🇭BOYGROUP THE ONE AND ONLY THE UNDISPUTED KINGS OF PPOP #SB19

Thank you for your reaction! I love how you were able to zero in on the word plays and interpret the visual and lyrical metaphors in the MV.

i think you are amazing !!! you explained Gento very detailed !!! They sing live!! no autotune in all their previous concerts in USA and Canada lately ! Yes they can sing ,rap and dance as well. Thanks for all your time and I just shared this video to SB19 Official IG .

Ur so intelligent, u understand properly the meaning of this song 👌👍

spot on with the lyric interpretation! 👏👏 just wanna say that a lot of scenes in the mv shows filipino culture.
- The ingredients shown in the cooking scene at the start of the video is used to make a filipino dish called nilaga referring to a famous proverb that we have "kapag may tiyaga may nilaga" which means hardwork pays off or patience has its rewards
- The shower scene, lyrics says something about "sour". Due to the very hot and humid weather in the Philippines, our body naturally produces a "sour" odor when sweaty and not taking a shower right after, it kinda pertains to the haters who's very "sour" on their achievements
- Gento is a play on word and a shortened word from "ganito" which means like this and sounds very similar to "ginto" which means gold. So the song kinda translates to "gold like this" . additional information is that when pablo (the leader) made this song he first thought of the melody in the first part of the chorus and the word that kept repeating on his mind was "gento gento gento" from here he thought that since it's very close to the word ginto he started adding metals and mining sounds into the song and it was build up from there, the thought of looking and finding for gold
- Darna which you already understood correctly and Moniko is from a famous tongue twister which is a name of a mechanic. so Josh was saying he doesn't need a mechanic.
- The dog scene which shows a reverse role where the dog was the one holding the leash. It's an inside filipino joke called "dog show" which basically means making fun of someone or insulting someone and sb19 talks about how they were just making fun of the haters.
- 10:05, all the members' eyebrows are burned. This is from a well known expression in the Philippines that says "burning eyebrows" which means studying hard. This started because back in the day when there were no proper light sources filipinos used candles and lamps to study and the fire always ends up being placed close to the face due to the student who's very focused on studying to the point that they don't notice that their eyebrows are being burned. so the lyrics talks about how they won't stop until the haters learned their lessons
-Lastly, the alien scene had different interpretations. it can pertain to new people or casuals who's just starting to find out about sb19 or it could also be a reference or a mock to an opening scene from one of their previous mv's where they spoke in korean due to the fact that they were under a korean company making a lot of people see it negatively stating they're "imitating kpop" .

Wow Sir! You're the only reactor that interpreted the song at it's best and that was awesome...your interpretation is what the song really convey...thank you so much for appreciating SB19....new sub here, because i love the interpretation of yours...
