Pls react to TXT TomorrowXTogether!!! they are 4th Gen boygroups doing pretty good in Billboard charts ! They are amazing performers with amazing discography
Hi! Please react to straykids Victory song, mirroh or Side effect, maybe back door 😍 SF9 rpm, Now or never. And Kingdom performances are soooooo good. All of them. SF9 move, stealer, skz Volfgang, Ateez, the boyz, btob or ikon. It was ín 2021... 😍😍😍
Jimin did the contemporary dance in Black Swan. He's one of their main dancer and aside from doing modern dance, he is also responsible for acrobatic and stunts on their performances.
For stray kids Felix is australian (english is he's first language but he is fluent in koren ) and bang chan was in australia since really young (i do not know if english or korean is he's first language but he is fully fluent in both)
Never expected to see a reactor have that much emotional connection from Black Swan. I also felt emotional when I first watched the mv and read the captions. I'm not a musician but I felt it bcoz I was afraid of losing my passion for doing something I love. And that Song + MV is so perfectly done IMO. It did the job at representing that. Black Swan holds a special place in my heart. It's one of my go-to songs when I lose focus.
It’s just so relevant! It’s hard hitting as an actor, producer and content creator. And I’m sure all artists may feel this at some point. It’s such a sad place, and I guess really affected me in a way I really wasn’t expecting! It’s incredible!
BLACK SWAN IS A MASTERPIECE IN THE WORLD'S MUSIC INDUSTRY, IT CAN'T BE REPLACED. RM himself wrote the song and even cried while writing. Its about losing passion in music, while other artists talk about love in songs, BTS talks about losing their passion in making music. Bts songs hit different. React to BTS RUN BTS LYRIC VIDEO FROM PROOF ALBUM That's why BTS and Skids are my ults, they are insanely talented writers, producers.
After Festa dinner 2022 this song meant already everything. To think that they started "suffering" at that time and we didn't see it 😢 and after that covid hit and they ve wanted to support and "heal" everyone so they kept going.... I so admire them for everything that they've done to Army in needs. They deserve to find happiness, such beautiful Angels 💜
Hey no need to talk about ither artists and groups bcuz one nothing wrong about singing on other topics out there..what more is most groupshave bside and title tracks talking about loving yourself and other meaningfull topicd it’s embarrassing for u and bts to keep saying that..
@@RiRi-ku6xz it's not that deep trust me, love is a generic topic and it's not hate towards other groups or artists to point it out. They are talking about the overall big pop star music industry, not just kpop groups. Especially when you look at BTS's real industry predecessors, who aren't even kpop groups, but the biggest dominating boyband's before them. BTS is the first kpop group to dominate the boyband scene and be the biggest group in the world. Before BTS, the biggest kpop groups were never the biggest groups. BTS's impact goes beyond backstreet boys, one direction, NSYNC and all for a reason and that for versatility and variety in topic, and that transcended a lot in kpop. Now you see a lot of kpop groups doing the same but BTS is the biggest influence of the rest of the younger kpop gen.
BTS can and do sing about love in their songs too. They're the best but no need to lie to make them seem better! Love is just as fantastic a topic as any :)
You at the end with Stray Kids just perfectly encapsulates my emotions when I watch them. I just get blown away. I love how you are falling for Felix. He and Bang Chan (Stray Kids leader) are both Australian, Felix only moved to Korea when he was about 16 to train as a dancer and had to learn Korean from scratch basically, his accent is beautifully strong in English though. If you wanted to go down a Felix rabbit hole and discover his personality I recommend his vlogs- 'Felix Sunshine Vlogs' and maybe 2Kids Room. Felix is so sweet and open with his emotions and affection so the band call him their sunshine. And the first 2Kids Room episode with him and Hyunjin (they're like mini interviews where two members sit and discuss their relationship) gets so sincerely deep you will fall in love even more. The show the mash up performance is from is called Kingdom: Legendary War, it's a competition show between six kpop groups from like 10 year old senior groups like BTOB to newer groups like Ateez, it was held Spring/Summer 2021. Throughout various rounds they prepare new arrangements and performances for different challenges, they work together for some rounds, it's a really cool show because some of the younger groups are fanboys of the older ones, but it's also like peak level professionals competing against each other so the performances are so impressive (plus they have a fun random sports day in the middle of it which is very cute). If you ever want to check it out I think you can see the subbed version on Viki. But the performances are all on youtube, and if you find the playlists some of the performances with say 'eng sub', those ones show the real time reactions of the other competing groups watching the performances. Let's just say you weren't the only one who screamed about Felix. Following that performance Ryan Reynolds actually reached out to Stray Kids and Bang Chan (who is a big fan) got to do a promo interview with him for Free Guy. Now sometimes you see him posting about Stray Kids' newest album or him and Hugh Jackman liking Stray Kids' instagram posts.
Thank you for writing all of this for her, it really is a lot of great info! I loved Kingdom: Legendary War! Those are some of my absolute favorite groups that participated and it was so fun to watch. Definitely some of the best performances ever came out of that show. Highly recommend watching it!
Black swan really hits hard when you realise bts are now taking a break because they’re so burnt out. They recently spoke up about the fact that they feel as if they’ve become a rapping/singing/producing machine and that they’re doing these things not because they really want to anymore but because they feel like they have to. Suga said “It used to be that I had something to say but lacked the skills, now I have nothing to say” it’s heartbreaking when you realise that one of their worst fears has become true. They talked about how kpop as an industry doesn’t allow for personal growth and that they’ve started thinking of themselves as a collective rather than 7 different individuals. So for now they’re going to be focusing on solo projects - but rest assured they are not breaking up and are still camping under each others instagram posts waiting to hype each other up aha💜
SEVENTEEN is a 13 member group qlso known for their powerful performances, complex and impactful choreography and the most synchronised group! They are also given the title "Self-producing" by media because they're involved in all the aspects of their comeback be it composing, producing, lyrics, concepts, choreography etc. Despite having 13 members they're known for their even line distributions which even less member-ed groups than them don't have so everybody gets to have the spotlight and all the members bring something to the table which makes them unique. Also the fact that they're divided into 3 units all members get to shine. They recently had a comeback with their title track HOT which was amazing and are coming back on july 18 with their repackaged album, SECTOR 17 Do look forward!
*Dreamcatcher* music is usually about social issues. This song is part of a trilogy: 1- "Scream" about being bullied so much you just want to lash out and scream 2- "Boca" about trying to silence the bullies 3- "Odd Eye" looking for a utopia with no bullying but not finding it *(G)I-DLE* - G=girl so GIRL IDOL in "Tomboy" they make it clear they no longer want to be called (G)I-DLE. They sing "neither woman nor a man.. just me ( )I-DLE". Dropping the (G) from the name *StrayKids* the last song was from a survival show they won called *KINGDOM* where they competed against 5 other groups. FYI: *QUEENDOM* season 2 just finished 3 weeks ago *WJSN* won. Season 1 winner was *MAMAMOO* Suggest you watch: - *IKON* "Classy Savage" Kingdom Performance (Lisa Blackpink makes an appearance) I'm suggesting more girl kpop: - *TWICE* "Scientist" - *RED VELVET* "Fell My Rhythm" - *EVERGLOW* "First" - *JESSI* "Zoom" - *MAMAMOO* "Hip"
I-DLE (아이들 "aideul", from 아이 "ai" meaning "child", and 들 "deul" as a plural) is of course a pun on "idol", but the actual meaning is "children". There is an alternative meaning where 아이 "ai" is interpreted as if it was an English pronoun, leading to "group of individuals coming together as a group" (plural of "I"); this is why it is written i들 in their logo, and I-DLE in their English name. But "idol" is 아이돌 "aidol", a different word. The "children" meaning fits with their fandom being Neverland, and the entire Peter Pan-esque idea of never wanting to grow old and stale. "gee idle" is a good pronunciation, though, as noted above, they prefer not to pronounce the parenthesised "G" (or its equivalent 여자 in (여자)아이들, their Korean name). It was not their idea, it was stuck on by marketing because they figured trying to google for "children" might be a bit weird, and not give the hits they want. Now that 아이들 actually shows I-DLE before actual kids, they are pushing back and trying to reclaim the name they originally wanted. Another cool thing about them is that past their first album their entire discography is self-written and self-produced, mostly by their rapper/leader Soyeon. Almost all of their songs are different, from each other as well as from the mainstream K-pop, and hand-tailored to fit the members instead of having members assigned to a bought song. Soyeon even went so far as to stop her members from taking vocal lessons, as she wanted to preserve their unique vocal colour instead of vocal trainers making them sound like everyone else. If you like darker concepts... Dreamcatcher is all about dark. For example, love songs are a common theme in K-pop and music in general. The only love songs DC has ever made are either love songs from them to their fans, or songs about love obsessive to the point of murder. All of their title songs have elements of rock, metal and/or EDM; the B-sides go over a variety of genres, but never saccharine. Their debut song, Chase Me, is literally a horror movie.
I’m so glad you’re enjoying Stray Kids. Their music is so unique and it’s like every song is different. They also do mellow slow songs. My favorite is Levanter English version and slump English version. If you watch slump though…watch the First take version (Japanese). It’s a cool concept where they have to do the song in one take in a plain white room. Nothing but vocals and back ground music.
The guys from BTS are the most loving, funny and humble people ever! They are literally at the top of the world but they continue to be so down to earth and thankful to ARMY. They do everything for their fans 💜
Dreamcatcher's Scream is part 1 of the Dystopia trilogy, which is about cyber-bullying, hateful comments and people losing themselves in the (fake) online world. It is mostly showing the victim's perspective of (cyber)bullying, comparing it to a medieval witch hunt and a burning at the stake. The tree is the tree of language, and it grows black fruit for every hurtful thing people say. Note also the hand gesture, it is the devil's horns introduced by Ronnie James Dio as a symbol for metal, but it originally was a gesture in the middle ages to ward off the evil eye, tying into the witch hunt theme. I really enjoy the music, it's rock mixed with EDM. Dreamcatcher are always very creative, and they are in their own genre by this point. Part 2 is Boca. 😊
one of the biggest things antis like to hate on stray kids for is the fact that they make what they like to call "noise music". they use it as a drag but stray kids have kind of claimed that term and reversed the tables and actually play into it now. That's why in Thunderous there's a lot going on sonically. The album Thunderous is from is called Noeasy which, when pronounced, is supposed to sound like "noisy". It's just so cool that stray kids have taken something they've been undeservingly hated on for and were like "yeah and so what?" with it. It's one of the reasons I love and appreciate them so much
Not sure if anyone has commented about this or not but fun facts: BangChan (SKZ leader) is bestfriend with Lisa. And recently Lisa gave a Bday present (a hoodie) for BangChan. Can't wait to see more reactions of you fangirling over Felix LOLOLOL. I'm a STAY and watching your reaction to them is such a mood. Thanks so much. You made me laughing so loud the whole time
Thanks for dreamcatcher reaction So basically, scream is the first part of the dystopia trilogy. The dystopia trilogy is about hate speech and bullying, both in real life and on the internet. The dystopia trilogy consists of: 1. Scream (Medieval Era/Past), Rock EDM genre. It can be seen from how the MV and the costumes they wear depict medieval era. 2. Boca, in Spanish it means mouth (Modern Era/Present), Rock Moombahton genre. Judging from the mv where they are in a shopping area and the costumes the mv wears are more modern than in the Scream mv. 3. Odd Eye (Cyberpunk Era/Future), Rock Cyberpunk. This is set in the future, where you can see in the MV that many modern technologies are featured. This last part, they try to find Utopia, a world where there is no hate speech and bullying, an ideal world for them but in the end they fail to find it (Where in the real world, such a place does not exist)
oh you got the meaning of Black Swan.. that's impressive it's inspired by the quote "A dancer dies twice - once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful." by Martha Graham yeah, it's a really sad song but it's sadder and hits different now, i mean, they didn't lost the passion (I think) but they're lost on what to write since they focus on the message they want to give to ARMY and other listeners.. it's like they've said so much in the last 9 yrs and now they don't know what to say anymore... and it's so heartbreaking I hope they'll experience more now that they're focusing on their individual activities and come back and tell us their stories through their music in the future
no, they did not lose their passion. they're focusing on solo work to prevent an artistic burnout. which is te healthiest thing you can do as an artist
seventeen have 13 members and they known as the synchronize king in kpop and also self produce idol..u need to check out other mv : rock with you , Dont wanna cry , Hit , pretty u also check their dance practice
Black Swan hits ARMY differently now than it did at release. Recently BTS mentioned that they would be focusing more om solo work and individual passions for the time being due to exhaustion, burn out and loss of identity. They intended to take a break following the release of 'ON' (same album as Black Swan), but then covid hit and they pushed through to keep ARMY happy and supported. To think that we didn't know they were feeling this way for 2 years hurts. It hurts a lot. We love our guys and will support them through anything.
oh, yes, since festa dinner I´ve been feeling pretty much dumb about the MOTS7 content just because... all the struggle was there about 2 years ago and I didn´t realized it.
Stray kids and Ateez did a performance together, it’s the performance Wolf in Kingdom, double kill with this video cause both of these groups are my favorite
Thank you for reacting about Stray Kids ♡ The kids are currently on a concert tour to America. Please keep supporting them ^^ And I can't wait to see your reaction to Stray Kids again. Recommendation MV : Easy, Double Knot, Mirroh, Back door, The View, Winter Falls, Secret Secret, Red Lights Stage Perform : Wolfgang Kingdom, AOTM Hyunjin, 2020 Mama Victory Song Thank you, nice to know you Pagan ♡
I‘m so happy that you reacted to (G)I-DLE and I would love to see more reactions to them. I suggest „Oh My God“ and „Lion“. I think u would love these songs of them too. Just a little fact: Their Leader and Main rapper Soyeon Writes and Produces almost every song of them including Tomboy. She is just a Genius Queen. 2 of the other members, Minnie and Yuqi, also wrote and Produced some of their b-sides. Also 2 Songs each on this full album ‚I Never Die‘ I-DLE are just talented Queens and their personality’s are even better. For me. I definitely Stan the right group and would love to see more reactions from u bc I think u definitely would love them like I do 💜❤️
It would be so great if you could react to the Kingdom Performances. Stray Kids were on the second season and the Performances from them and the other groups were as always phenomenal. :)
The contemporary dancer in “black swan” is a member of BTS and is called Jimin and yes he has a background in contemporary dance. I felt the same way the first time I listened to this song, there is also a contemporary dance video released by them where students of a dance academy dance to the instrumental of “black swan”, its so moving and thought provoking honestly. Since you like contemporary dance I would recommend that.💜💜 And I would recommend “venom” , “freeze”, “lonely st.” by stray kids💜
Being a multi stan and srsly loving every single group you’ve reacted to so far, I’d rly like to point out seventeen here. As other comments mentioned, they’re a 13 member self-producing/choreographing group. Also known to be the most synchronised dancers in the industry. Their vocal line is incredible strong also great rap and performance. They are made up of 3 units, but mostly perform as a whole. On the other hand, I love them deep down for their personalities and wholesomeness and chaos they provide for their fans and viewers and just even between the members themselves😂🫶. I hope u get to dive deeper into them, slip into the diamond life ;)
The funny thing is that Dreamcatcher was actually an outcast in Korea because of their rock elements but they kept going and now have one of the best discographies in KPOP. The Dystopia trilogy is about online bullying, Maison being about climate change was a new thing this year
"That dancer!!!" Is Jimin. He originated in contemporary. If you enjoy contemporary there's also solo pieces out there by Seventeen's The 8 (Minghao), Stray Kids Hyunjin, NCT's Ten & Winwin that you'd really like. And the strongest of which (statistically) is one I don't think you've seen, EXO/SuperM's Kai (yes just like NCT he's in multiple groups...it's an SM thing). He was a ballet dancer but is known in Kpop as a dancer with "no weaknesses." There does not exist a genre he can't fluidly/seamlessly include in his performance and his technique/skill set hasn't really changed in 10 years since his debut. He was just already everything from the jump...notoriously an "idol's idol" (all these young idols you're watching...he's their idol). And from what I know they're very longtime friends ("that dancer!!!"). And in Ateez you'll find BTS' Jimin fans, in Seventeen you'll find Shinee/Taemin fans and so on. It's kinda how Kpop blew up in Korea. Ohhh! But the funniest thing I'm seeing now is idols who got into Kpop through their moms and mom & son dance crews (omg I've been around too long 😌). And yes the live performances are something else (got my Seventeen ticket...can't wait!!). Road to Kingdom and sequel Kingdom were competition shows produced through covid. I believe it was Pentagon...the first group to notice & take advantage of the never before opportunities for the staging/cameras due to the unique layout of their stage and the absence of an audience & it just became a thing. Take a good look cus we'll probably never get to see programs/performances like those again. And yes you were right, it's cyber bullying (Dreamcatcher)...a REALLY big deal in Korea (more people in one city than my entire Country) and very common theme in Kpop. Sadly sometimes people actually die.
oh, felix was born and raised in australia but moved to korea to become a kpop idol and chan (the other guy with the australian accent) was born in korea but moved to Australia when he was a kid I swear their accent is SO strong and we honestly love it lol
You should check out the ‘Bts room live 2021 festa!’ It’s a fun video with snippets of few of their best b-side tracks and it’s live. I feel like you’ll get a nice view into their music and the different styles and the wide variety of genres they do. I love your reactions here ❤️❤️
BTS, Dreamcatcher... All you need now is to react to Mamamoo and you'll have done my three main faves! From one Irish person (well, half) to another, I strongly recommend Mamamoo; their voices are just gorgeous! And there's only four of them, haha! I'd recommend their songs Aya and/or Hip. Thank you btw! I'd never really given Stray Kids a chance-no real reason beyond being lazy-and almost every song you've reacted by them has been a bop for me.
I highly recommend to check out "The First Take" performances by StrayKids! There are 3 in total. The First Take - Slump is the first one, The First Take - Mixtape: OH the second and The First Take - Scars the third and they are really great to hear their raw live vocals. :)
wow I loved your reaction to seventeen, I hope you react to them again soon. some song recommendations I have would be: fear, very nice, oh my, fallin flower (japanese song) and ready to love. their most recent comeback is ‘HOT’ and they are currently in world tour (but europe dates have not been announced yet :( )
Scream is metaphoric commentary about online bullying (and the new Dystopia arc will cover a range of modern day issues using fantasy stories) The continuation of of Dreamcatcher- Scream is Boca
For Dreamcatcher, after "Scream" comes "Boca" and then "Odd Eye" in their 3-part Utopia series. You would probably also like "Deja Vu" too. With BTS, I think you would really enjoy "Fake Love", "Blood, Sweat and Tears" and "On" (I think the Kinetic Manifesto video is better than the actual MV). You could also check out a soloist, Chung Ha. Her "Dream of You" performance video (all English), "Stay Tonight" and "Bicycle" are all great.
Actually i am a big fan of all these groups but here i want to talk about seventeen they are really great and very unique too they have a lot of members but all of them shine and has something special so talented and they are so funny too also have a great pond they were together as a group since they were kids literally (when they were 13 years old if i am not mistaken)
Would be so glad if you reacted to Boca, the next song in Dreamcatcher's triology, Ateez's Answer and Stray Kids' Christmas EveL. I really love your energy and only discovered your channel yesterday. Can't wait to see you react to more kpop songs and groups!
I'm into this Kpop for a long time now and from my pov whenever a group releases it's new song , we fans already know the vibe and the tone that we gonna get from it.. Each group has different taste and is bound to that only but BTS is the only group that i found who are unpredictable and whatever genre, they do ,it feels like they excels at it.. Their each song is totally different from the other and each and every song is best at it's place.. That's the reason , they have the biggest fandom in the world right now..💜😄
About Seventeen: I love this group's music. I wouldn't call myself a full stan yet although I keep up with their new releases (and yeah, the group size is one of the reasons why lmao). From the few lyric videos and line distribution videos I've seen of their stuff I can conclude that they give each one of the thirteen members enough time to shine. It's amazing actually since some smaller-sized groups can't even do that. About (G)I-dle: Yes you pronounced it right. It's either "gee idle" or just "idle". About Stray Kids: Nothing...just congratulations on surviving the last one! Have you reacted to Ateez? If not yet, I'll suggest "Inception", "Turbulence" and "Hala Hala". Those are my faves of theirs that have MVs (except Hala Hala). The Turbulence MV is really pretty too.
the dancer in BTS Black Swan is Jimin. He is totally unique, as dancer and as singer. There is a behind the scene of his solo part, if you like contemporary dance. ruclips.net/video/xMfp2jcK52M/видео.html Also, you should react (or see for yourself) to a live performance of Black Swan. My fav is the one at Jimmy Fallon Tonight Show (online perf) , but the James Corden Late Late show is great too. They don't get a chance to performed it live with a big venue, due to the pandemic, but they did it on stage at their recent PtD concert at LA and Vegas , and it was amazing !
Felix's voice: 😈🖤🔪⛓️☠️ Felix's personality: 😇🥰💞🐣 (He's really just a sweetheart, mix of sunshine & cuddle bug) Both he and Bang Chan are from Australia and have the accents to show lol (they can also just be very sweet & chaotic together) To get to know them better I really hope you react to a helpful updated guide so u can see what goes on music wise towards production (3racha) and also just their individual talents & personalities Here's a good guide (has less reading & is probably the best updated 2022 guide yet): ruclips.net/video/z2Hzo9vZoHA/видео.html
OH MY GOODNESS YES YES!! I am so glad that you reacted to these, I just got to say BTS' Black Swan is Gorgeous it was Amazing (Also the one that you were talking about with the blue hair was Jimin) and then Stray Kids killed it with Thunderous they went OFF and it was catchy, same with their mashup with Blackpink's Ddu-Du-Ddu-Du it was great also we forgot to tell you yeah Felix is Australian as well (And I'm guessing you do know Blackpink?) And I am SO glad 5hat you reacted to Dreamcatcher's Scream it's such a FANTASTIC Song with a great message (Scream, BOCA, and Odd Eye are a trilogy they are all about bullying!) And (G) I-DLE you can pronounce it as what you already called them or just Idle either is fine, and they use to be a six member Group but because of stupid CUBE they got rid of Soojin (because of one rumor about her being a bully in school) and we don't even know if it was true and even if it was it was years ago! You should DEFINITELY check out some guides to Dreamcatcher and (G) I-DLE you will not be disappointed, anyways I can't wait for you to react to more K - Pop Groups/Soloists such as Blackpink, Red Velvet, Mamamoo, Twice, Dreamcatcher, (G) I-DLE, Loona, GFriend, Aespa, PIXY, Purple Kiss, Momoland, Sistar, KHAN, ITZY, Oh My Girl, Everglow, IZ*ONE, WJSN, Sunmi, IU, Taeyeon, and many more! I can't wait for more Content from you and I hope that you are doing well and staying safe and healthy! P.S. If you ever need any good Videos I could totally help you out if you need it, also here are some more (G) I-DLE songs: (G) I-DLE Songs: Oh My God Lion DUMDI DUMDI Latata HWAA Uh Oh HANN Senorita My Bag There are more but I can't name them all!
if anyone hasn't explained where that stray kids ddududdudu performance is from i will! basically there was a show called Kingdom: Legendary War that aired at the beginning of 2021 and it was a followup to a show called Road to Kingdom that aired in 2020. Road to Kingdom was a show for less popular boy groups to compete in performance rounds and the winner would go on to compete in Kingdom: Legendary War with more popular groups. A group called The Boyz won Road to Kingdom (they're really good I reccommend checking them out) and competed with groups Stray Kids, Ateez, Ikon, Sf9, and BtoB in Kingdom. This performance is one of Stray Kids's from that show. It won first place, as did most of their other performances, and they ended up winning the show!! This performance in particular is one that REALLY blew up and played a part in catapulting them into who they are and their popularity now. Their other performances (in order minus the one you've already seen) from the show if you want to check them out are their Miroh introduction stage, Side Effects x God's Menu mashup, I'll Be Your Man performance, Colors (only 3 members called 3acha--they are stray kids's producers + 1 member from ateez and 1 member from BtoB), Wolf (3 stray kids members + 5 ateez members and 1 BtoB member), Love Poem (1 stray kids member + 1 ateez member and 1 BtoB member), and their finale performance: Wolfgang :))
YESS DREAMCATHCERRR!!! Yeah, this group is just something else... I'm not really into BTS, but Black Swan is actually my favorite song from them. You need to check out (don't need to be in video) the Art Film version...it's sooo good and beatiful.
Aww we love you too! You're on your way to Stay 😉 I'm absolutely loving your videos and appreciate how much you're enjoying Ateez and Stray Kids. My faves 🥰
So after binge watching your 3 reaction videos to KPOP esp to Stray Kids and Felix (hahaha), I have finally subscribed to your channel. I’m looking forward to watching your new videos.
Scream is part of a trio of songs by Dreamcatcher about cyber bullying. A lot of idols took their lives in close proximity, it was a huge tragedy in the industry. So Dreamcatcher made "Scream", "BOCA", and "Odd Eye" as a trio of songs about how your words can hurt people and how hatred spreads.
BTS is amazing group. They are completely different from others and has fascinating backstory. I suggest you to watch introduction about them. Currently the best video is "a guide to BTS members:bangtan 7" by Taylor You will definitely like it!!
For Scream, it's part of a trilogy about bullying and online bullying, after Scream comes Boca (which translates to mouth in English from I believe Spanish) and after Boca comes Odd Eye
I really enjoy your videos! Cause I'm kinda new to kpop and thanks to you I discover new awesome groups every time I watch it. The group that got me into kpop was actually Stray Kids. I saw something of their song maniac and thought it was amazing. So I looked them up and imediately fell in love with their music. I'm an absolute STAY now ;) . An other song from them I would highly recomend is "Red lights" it's only done by two of their members but I promise it's fantastic!~
Your reactions to stray kids are my favorite OMG!! girl you should react to the rest of the live stages from kingdom (it's the competition where you saw the god's dududu from) I'd recommend stages like I'll be your man and Wolfgang (ps: they won!!!) they were competing against other idols and they won you should also react to mvs like free victory song miroh easy Christmas evil I am you levanter cheese (this song was towards the haters where they used what the haters said about them to just laugh hence the song being called cheese) LOVE YOU SO MUCH ♥
Yeah stray kids god ddu du ddu du set was fire. U can watch (on cam or off cam) with wide camera angle to see how they shot that performance. Just search god ddu du ddu du full cam. Or watching the behind the scene for more appreciate this performance. U can see how they make the music, recording and practice the dances for this performance. Just search god ddu du ddu du behind the scene, it's on stray kids channel.
That Stray kidz performance at the end was from a show calls (Kingdom) although we all knew it was a scamp but every performance of that show worth to watch their was collaborations, remakes, remixes and everything you can wish for ♥️♥️
"I want to see them live!" My all time fave Ateez performance is their iconic 2019 MAMA Wonderland "mashup" live performance." You get a better uncut look at San's backbreaking drop (he can even do in slow mo on repeat)...and a couple other things that make fans crazy. Edit: Oh! And don't forget the "dance practice" of that performance.. Some people think at first there's some kinda weird thing going on with the lighting _ then realize it's not the lights. They're just going so hard the room is actually shaking. And close second (or tie for first) is their "Say My Name (OMG I mean "ANSWER")/Ode to Joy" mashup "Kingdom" performance. Last place on earth I would have been looking for Bethoven's 9th (I've performed) but I'll never hear it the same way again (in the best way EEEEVER!) There (on Kingdom) also is another Wonderland mashup (Dvorak). They trained briefly in the US before debut & their former teacher is now their choreographer. He says his greatest challenge is always meeting the demand to make it "difficult" enough for them, while still being mindful of all the "who's singing when/where" moments (as yes...they actually have to perform these LIVE)...something very foreign to Western Pop choreographers. As for NCT the only one I've ever seen with all 23 members is 2020's "Resonance" performance. It's a mashup so you can hit several songs (at least bits & pieces of them) in one video. 2018 "Black on Black" is good too...only features 18 members cus the remaining 5 were not yet added to the group. It's their concept to have an open ended number of members & at least one "rotational" unit (NCT U) meaning it's not a "fixed" unit. Members change with every song...whoever fits the concept. I'm sure you'll see lots of comments on this so I won't get into all the details but I believe it's SM's clever hack for overcoming the whole (mandatory) military hiatus thing. They are the one (boy) group that will never be inactive or without any content for any period of time, any reason...at this point the only one I know of. But yes because Kpop groups are so huge that's where the guides are handy. But they do tend to drag you down an infinitely neverending rabbit hole you'll never see the bottom of. Some reactors are VEEEEEEEERY cautious about guides....only doing them when they've committed to being a full time "_______" (group name) reactor. Hope that's useful.
Really enjoying your reactions and discovery of Kpop - honestly the best thing that happened to me was finding Kpop - absolutely love it and can't help but admire them for their training and dedication to their art.
Stray Kids performed gods dudududu on Kingdom, a tv show. Kingdom is a competition for boygroups (there is also a girlgroup version, Queendom). In this season, iKon, BtoB, The Boyz, Stray Kids, Ateez and SF9 were the groups that competed with each other. There are a few rounds with different missions (?? i cant find the right word). The groups all had to make different performances for each round and the group that did best (got the most votes) got the most points. At the end the group with the most points overall won. Stray Kids won!
Black song is just THAT song, I’ve honestly never seen someone hate it, the instrumental, the lyrics, the visuals, the choreography, everything about this song and the mv is absolute gold.
I subscribed just recently, And I don't regret it💙 More Stray Kids whooo!!!💙🤧 Please do "Freeze" and "Cheese" by Stray Kids.💙 And also fun fact if you didn't know Felix and Bang Chan are Aussies (Felix was born and raised in Australia, and Chan moved to Australia when he was just a baby. Their Families are in Australia). And also Bang Chan and Lisa (black pink) are good friends, Lisa gifted Chan a hoodie for his Birthday.
Seventeen is one of my favourite groups and their choreos are so satisfying to watch because they and the group THE BOYZ are the most synchronized groups EVER. It's like watching those satisfying video compilations. Please react to Seventeen's "VERY NICE", " PRETTY U" and "HIT" :) You have reacted to SHINee already...Taemin is one of the members and known as the MJ of K-Pop , you have to react to his solo stuff. I think the songs "MOVE" and "ADVICE" would be a good start. Oh and I dont know if anyone suggested EXO but please react to them as well. Hmm for them I would suggest "GROWL" (one of their older stuff), "LOVESHOT" and "TEMPO" and their beautiful ballad "MIRACLES IN DECEMBER". I guess I am one of those few that never got warm with Black swan by BTS.
Seventeen probably have the most even line distribution in the ENTIRE industry, even having 13 members. They are fully self produced, from music, to choreography to sometimes even music videos, they are truly the standard. Not to mention Woozi, the main producer, he makes a FANTASTIC job with letting every single member shine. Seventeen is truly amazing and i am happy to see more people enjoy their content🫶🏻
Black Swan is a really sad and deep song. it was released in February 2020 but it was only literally 2.5 weeks ago that all ARMYs (and for all K-pop it was a shock) found out how difficult it was for them the last 3-4 years. BTS group is 9 years old (12 if you count before debut time. they have about 55 music videos and over 250 songs and that's only in the group, about 290-295 will be with all their solo songs). Before covid they released the album Map of the soul 7 (7 because there are 7 members in the group) they had to go on a world tour visiting ~8 countries in different cities in stadiums 60 - 90 thousand people where tickets were sold out in a few minutes. And then covid came and broke everything off, the tour was postponed from the beginning, and then canceled. For the group it was a big blow they had been preparing for the tour for several months. As it turned out just now after this tour, they planned to release the “Proof” album anthology released on June 10 this year, continue the tour and take a break from group activities and start promoting each member solo. But this did not happen due to covid, they did not know what to do, so they decided to release the song “Dynamite” which turned everything upside down! The song was number 1 on the billboard HOT 100 (3 weeks) and spent 31 weeks in the top 100 overall. The music video for Dynamite received 101.2 million views in its first 24 hours. Today it has 1.5 billion views. Then came “Life goes on” (and BE's covid-themed album), which got 71.63 million views in the first 24 hours. And last year “Butter” came out, is the most viewed MV in the first 24 hours in the world with 114.5 million views (Yes, they keep breaking their own records), now it has 777 million views. According to Billboard, "Butter" is just 11 of 54 songs to debut at number one on the Hot 100 and have been at number one for five consecutive weeks in the chart's history. Permission To Dance also came out later. Song dedicated to the end of covid. BTS has gone global! Grammy performances for 2 years in a row, a huge number of awards including 3 awards at the AAMA 2021 for group of the year, artist of the year, and the best pop song of the year “Butter”. And now let's go back to the beginning and to Black Swan, the guys did not plan to release: -3 songs in English, - send 4 songs and 2 feats to line 1 hot 100 - perform online concertS (they set a world record for the number of viewers of a concert held online, watched by 756 thousand people). Because they were tired and exhausted mentally. -“we stopped understanding who we are” -“we just don’t know what kind of music to write next” For almost 3 covid years they hid it from us, made us happy while it was hard for them, and only now they admitted how difficult it was for them during covid and how much pressure was exerted on them for the last 4-5 years and still is. The members lived side by side with each other for 12 years and now they want to relax with each other. But they don’t let us get bored… they admitted that each participant will release his own solo album (for example, one of the guys will release a song on July 1 and the whole album on June 15. And I feel from the teaser and concept photos we will be maybe rock-styled). And after resting and collecting inspiration and energy, they promised to return as a group. Wow i wrote so much but i only told you 1/3 of their whole big story… Аnd when you said you've never heard BTS before you were lying😂, because most people have heard Dynamite and Butter but don't know they are BTS songs.
Kingdom Legendary War was one of my favorite parts of Summer 2021. 6 different groups competed against each other in these crazy performances (Stray Kids, Ateez, BtoB, iKON, SF9, The Boyz) and it shows the fun you get with Kpop. All the groups have different strengths, but the Kpop-ness is in the costume, storytelling, dance, just everything.
I have watched it through more times than I've needed to, honestly. One of the most amazing competitive performance programs that I've ever seen! I highly recommend watching it to anyone who hasn't yet 😘
So we are all simps for Felix's deep voice and Australian accent huh lol. Seventeen has 13 members. One of my favorite groups. They are one of the funniest and most entertaining groups in k-pop, and they also produce their own music, like Stray Kids and BTS. Dreamcatcher, much like BTS have MVs that are connected( and tell a cohesive story). After "Scream" is "BOCA" and then the trilogy is finalized by "Odd Eye" The lyrics of Black Swan are so sad especially now that they have shared that they have lost direction and are facing creative burn-out. The song came out in 2020, and they were supposed to take a break then, but covid ruined everything. The song was released pre-covid, so they were telling us through those lyrics what they were going through as artists and it hurts so bad now knowing that they have been feeling like that for 2 whole years. If you are interested more in the further meaning of the song in the context of the album it is in I recommend "BTS Black Swan MV Meaning Explained: Breakdown And Analysis (also Corsets)" by "Bookish Theories". They put the song in a whole more deep context, explaining things like why they chose the theatre, the props used, their clothing, etc.
Your reaction to Stray Kids’ performance for god’s ddu du ddu du was PRICELESS. That was ME TOO. I think when i saw felix lift up his shirt the first time i paused the video and ran away.

"i didnt know his accent was australian" i love her reactions to felix they're so relatable
Jimin did the contemporary dance in Black Swan. He's one of their main dancer and aside from doing modern dance, he is also responsible for acrobatic and stunts on their performances.
and he used to do ballett! he was one of the top students ^^
@@elia7886 Hr used to do contemporary dance (and before that popping/hip-hop), but you are right that he was the top dancer in his school!
@@peridavis7709 oh? i'm pretty sure he did ballett at some point! but maybe i'm mixing him up with someone else... a lot of idols did ballett :D
@@elia7886 Rocky from Astro did ballet 😉
And Kai from EXO :)
You reaction to Felix was hilarious! He’s so cool and so disarmingly sweet. The, “oh sirs” are classic
For stray kids
Felix is australian (english is he's first language but he is fluent in koren ) and bang chan was in australia since really young (i do not know if english or korean is he's first language but he is fully fluent in both)
That’s amazing!
He wasn’t fluent in Korean during debut days, but he learned hard
Chris (Chan's English name) is Australian as well with English being is first language.
@@MingkisWay btw, Christopher is chans legal name, bangchan is his korean
@@MingkisWay Are you sure? I I believe he was born in Korea and went to Australia very young, no?
Never expected to see a reactor have that much emotional connection from Black Swan. I also felt emotional when I first watched the mv and read the captions. I'm not a musician but I felt it bcoz I was afraid of losing my passion for doing something I love. And that Song + MV is so perfectly done IMO. It did the job at representing that. Black Swan holds a special place in my heart. It's one of my go-to songs when I lose focus.
It’s just so relevant! It’s hard hitting as an actor, producer and content creator. And I’m sure all artists may feel this at some point. It’s such a sad place, and I guess really affected me in a way I really wasn’t expecting! It’s incredible!
When she notices the contemporary style of Jimin's dancing I was like omo! Yeees ma'am he's our Park Jimin😂😂
nods same
@@jhemlazaga484 yes! i was so happy about that.
@@PaganReacts u should see the choreo for it on it's own and the live's and award show performances. They change the choreo and its so beautiful.
Attended Stray Kids concert, they literally never stop the energy, live vocals. Amazing
let me go w you next time
"I feel like I missed it", girl, I love you ahaha, your simping over Felix is wonderful
BLACK SWAN IS A MASTERPIECE IN THE WORLD'S MUSIC INDUSTRY, IT CAN'T BE REPLACED. RM himself wrote the song and even cried while writing. Its about losing passion in music, while other artists talk about love in songs, BTS talks about losing their passion in making music. Bts songs hit different.
React to BTS RUN BTS LYRIC VIDEO FROM PROOF ALBUM
That's why BTS and Skids are my ults, they are insanely talented writers, producers.
After Festa dinner 2022 this song meant already everything. To think that they started "suffering" at that time and we didn't see it 😢 and after that covid hit and they ve wanted to support and "heal" everyone so they kept going....
I so admire them for everything that they've done to Army in needs.
They deserve to find happiness, such beautiful Angels 💜
Hey no need to talk about ither artists and groups bcuz one nothing wrong about singing on other topics out there..what more is most groupshave bside and title tracks talking about loving yourself and other meaningfull topicd it’s embarrassing for u and bts to keep saying that..
@@RiRi-ku6xz it's not that deep trust me, love is a generic topic and it's not hate towards other groups or artists to point it out. They are talking about the overall big pop star music industry, not just kpop groups. Especially when you look at BTS's real industry predecessors, who aren't even kpop groups, but the biggest dominating boyband's before them. BTS is the first kpop group to dominate the boyband scene and be the biggest group in the world. Before BTS, the biggest kpop groups were never the biggest groups. BTS's impact goes beyond backstreet boys, one direction, NSYNC and all for a reason and that for versatility and variety in topic, and that transcended a lot in kpop. Now you see a lot of kpop groups doing the same but BTS is the biggest influence of the rest of the younger kpop gen.
BTS can and do sing about love in their songs too. They're the best but no need to lie to make them seem better! Love is just as fantastic a topic as any :)
Ikrrr black swan is the best hands down!!!❤️❤️
You at the end with Stray Kids just perfectly encapsulates my emotions when I watch them. I just get blown away. I love how you are falling for Felix. He and Bang Chan (Stray Kids leader) are both Australian, Felix only moved to Korea when he was about 16 to train as a dancer and had to learn Korean from scratch basically, his accent is beautifully strong in English though. If you wanted to go down a Felix rabbit hole and discover his personality I recommend his vlogs- 'Felix Sunshine Vlogs' and maybe 2Kids Room. Felix is so sweet and open with his emotions and affection so the band call him their sunshine. And the first 2Kids Room episode with him and Hyunjin (they're like mini interviews where two members sit and discuss their relationship) gets so sincerely deep you will fall in love even more.
The show the mash up performance is from is called Kingdom: Legendary War, it's a competition show between six kpop groups from like 10 year old senior groups like BTOB to newer groups like Ateez, it was held Spring/Summer 2021. Throughout various rounds they prepare new arrangements and performances for different challenges, they work together for some rounds, it's a really cool show because some of the younger groups are fanboys of the older ones, but it's also like peak level professionals competing against each other so the performances are so impressive (plus they have a fun random sports day in the middle of it which is very cute). If you ever want to check it out I think you can see the subbed version on Viki. But the performances are all on youtube, and if you find the playlists some of the performances with say 'eng sub', those ones show the real time reactions of the other competing groups watching the performances. Let's just say you weren't the only one who screamed about Felix. Following that performance Ryan Reynolds actually reached out to Stray Kids and Bang Chan (who is a big fan) got to do a promo interview with him for Free Guy. Now sometimes you see him posting about Stray Kids' newest album or him and Hugh Jackman liking Stray Kids' instagram posts.
I got the same feelings I love when people support stray kids 🥺❤️
Your explanation is awesome!! Thank you. - Fellow Stay x
GOD DAWM you just summed up my whole life being a stay in one comment 💀
X2!!! To all and love so much when people shared this same feelings they are so incredible ❤️
Thank you for writing all of this for her, it really is a lot of great info! I loved Kingdom: Legendary War! Those are some of my absolute favorite groups that participated and it was so fun to watch. Definitely some of the best performances ever came out of that show. Highly recommend watching it!
Black swan really hits hard when you realise bts are now taking a break because they’re so burnt out. They recently spoke up about the fact that they feel as if they’ve become a rapping/singing/producing machine and that they’re doing these things not because they really want to anymore but because they feel like they have to. Suga said “It used to be that I had something to say but lacked the skills, now I have nothing to say” it’s heartbreaking when you realise that one of their worst fears has become true. They talked about how kpop as an industry doesn’t allow for personal growth and that they’ve started thinking of themselves as a collective rather than 7 different individuals.
So for now they’re going to be focusing on solo projects - but rest assured they are not breaking up and are still camping under each others instagram posts waiting to hype each other up aha💜
Aw that’s so sad! But understandable for sure ❤️
Yeah Black Swan is a masterpiece. Music, lyrics, dance, video, concept wise
SEVENTEEN is a 13 member group qlso known for their powerful performances, complex and impactful choreography and the most synchronised group! They are also given the title "Self-producing" by media because they're involved in all the aspects of their comeback be it composing, producing, lyrics, concepts, choreography etc. Despite having 13 members they're known for their even line distributions which even less member-ed groups than them don't have so everybody gets to have the spotlight and all the members bring something to the table which makes them unique. Also the fact that they're divided into 3 units all members get to shine. They recently had a comeback with their title track HOT which was amazing and are coming back on july 18 with their repackaged album, SECTOR 17
Do look forward!
The member who was dancing contemporary. His name is Jimin. He’s learned contemporary dance from an young age.
*Dreamcatcher* music is usually about social issues. This song is part of a trilogy:
1- "Scream" about being bullied so much you just want to lash out and scream
2- "Boca" about trying to silence the bullies
3- "Odd Eye" looking for a utopia with no bullying but not finding it
*(G)I-DLE* - G=girl so GIRL IDOL in "Tomboy" they make it clear they no longer want to be called (G)I-DLE. They sing "neither woman nor a man.. just me ( )I-DLE". Dropping the (G) from the name
*StrayKids* the last song was from a survival show they won called *KINGDOM* where they competed against 5 other groups. FYI: *QUEENDOM* season 2 just finished 3 weeks ago *WJSN* won. Season 1 winner was *MAMAMOO*
Suggest you watch:
- *IKON* "Classy Savage" Kingdom Performance (Lisa Blackpink makes an appearance)
I'm suggesting more girl kpop:
- *TWICE* "Scientist"
- *RED VELVET* "Fell My Rhythm"
- *EVERGLOW* "First"
- *JESSI* "Zoom"
- *MAMAMOO* "Hip"
I-DLE (아이들 "aideul", from 아이 "ai" meaning "child", and 들 "deul" as a plural) is of course a pun on "idol", but the actual meaning is "children". There is an alternative meaning where 아이 "ai" is interpreted as if it was an English pronoun, leading to "group of individuals coming together as a group" (plural of "I"); this is why it is written i들 in their logo, and I-DLE in their English name. But "idol" is 아이돌 "aidol", a different word.
The "children" meaning fits with their fandom being Neverland, and the entire Peter Pan-esque idea of never wanting to grow old and stale.
"gee idle" is a good pronunciation, though, as noted above, they prefer not to pronounce the parenthesised "G" (or its equivalent 여자 in (여자)아이들, their Korean name). It was not their idea, it was stuck on by marketing because they figured trying to google for "children" might be a bit weird, and not give the hits they want. Now that 아이들 actually shows I-DLE before actual kids, they are pushing back and trying to reclaim the name they originally wanted.
Another cool thing about them is that past their first album their entire discography is self-written and self-produced, mostly by their rapper/leader Soyeon. Almost all of their songs are different, from each other as well as from the mainstream K-pop, and hand-tailored to fit the members instead of having members assigned to a bought song. Soyeon even went so far as to stop her members from taking vocal lessons, as she wanted to preserve their unique vocal colour instead of vocal trainers making them sound like everyone else.
If you like darker concepts... Dreamcatcher is all about dark. For example, love songs are a common theme in K-pop and music in general. The only love songs DC has ever made are either love songs from them to their fans, or songs about love obsessive to the point of murder. All of their title songs have elements of rock, metal and/or EDM; the B-sides go over a variety of genres, but never saccharine. Their debut song, Chase Me, is literally a horror movie.
Noooo 😭 if she reacts to everglow she has to react from the very beginning because their songs just get better and better 😭
@@camia.b For me, First was their best title track so far.
I’m so glad you’re enjoying Stray Kids. Their music is so unique and it’s like every song is different. They also do mellow slow songs. My favorite is Levanter English version and slump English version. If you watch slump though…watch the First take version (Japanese). It’s a cool concept where they have to do the song in one take in a plain white room. Nothing but vocals and back ground music.
I love your reactions. especially when you see Felix 😂😂😂
Love the stray kids and BTS ones u picked! Love your reaction to Felix talking 🤣
The guys from BTS are the most loving, funny and humble people ever! They are literally at the top of the world but they continue to be so down to earth and thankful to ARMY. They do everything for their fans 💜
So true!!!!!
Dreamcatcher's Scream is part 1 of the Dystopia trilogy, which is about cyber-bullying, hateful comments and people losing themselves in the (fake) online world. It is mostly showing the victim's perspective of (cyber)bullying, comparing it to a medieval witch hunt and a burning at the stake. The tree is the tree of language, and it grows black fruit for every hurtful thing people say. Note also the hand gesture, it is the devil's horns introduced by Ronnie James Dio as a symbol for metal, but it originally was a gesture in the middle ages to ward off the evil eye, tying into the witch hunt theme. I really enjoy the music, it's rock mixed with EDM. Dreamcatcher are always very creative, and they are in their own genre by this point.
Part 2 is Boca. 😊
one of the biggest things antis like to hate on stray kids for is the fact that they make what they like to call "noise music". they use it as a drag but stray kids have kind of claimed that term and reversed the tables and actually play into it now. That's why in Thunderous there's a lot going on sonically. The album Thunderous is from is called Noeasy which, when pronounced, is supposed to sound like "noisy". It's just so cool that stray kids have taken something they've been undeservingly hated on for and were like "yeah and so what?" with it. It's one of the reasons I love and appreciate them so much
Not sure if anyone has commented about this or not but fun facts: BangChan (SKZ leader) is bestfriend with Lisa. And recently Lisa gave a Bday present (a hoodie) for BangChan.
Can't wait to see more reactions of you fangirling over Felix LOLOLOL. I'm a STAY and watching your reaction to them is such a mood. Thanks so much. You made me laughing so loud the whole time
Thanks for dreamcatcher reaction
So basically, scream is the first part of the dystopia trilogy. The dystopia trilogy is about hate speech and bullying, both in real life and on the internet.
The dystopia trilogy consists of:
1. Scream (Medieval Era/Past), Rock EDM genre. It can be seen from how the MV and the costumes they wear depict medieval era.
2. Boca, in Spanish it means mouth (Modern Era/Present), Rock Moombahton genre. Judging from the mv where they are in a shopping area and the costumes the mv wears are more modern than in the Scream mv.
3. Odd Eye (Cyberpunk Era/Future), Rock Cyberpunk. This is set in the future, where you can see in the MV that many modern technologies are featured. This last part, they try to find Utopia, a world where there is no hate speech and bullying, an ideal world for them but in the end they fail to find it (Where in the real world, such a place does not exist)
oh you got the meaning of Black Swan.. that's impressive
it's inspired by the quote "A dancer dies twice - once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful." by Martha Graham
yeah, it's a really sad song but it's sadder and hits different now, i mean, they didn't lost the passion (I think) but they're lost on what to write since they focus on the message they want to give to ARMY and other listeners.. it's like they've said so much in the last 9 yrs and now they don't know what to say anymore... and it's so heartbreaking
I hope they'll experience more now that they're focusing on their individual activities and come back and tell us their stories through their music in the future
no, they did not lose their passion. they're focusing on solo work to prevent an artistic burnout. which is te healthiest thing you can do as an artist
@@elia7886 They literally said that they didn't lose their passion. Reread
@@pjm875 "they didn't lost the passion (I think)", I only told them that they're right, nothing else
seventeen have 13 members and they known as the synchronize king in kpop and also self produce idol..u need to check out other mv : rock with you , Dont wanna cry , Hit , pretty u also check their dance practice
Black Swan hits ARMY differently now than it did at release.
Recently BTS mentioned that they would be focusing more om solo work and individual passions for the time being due to exhaustion, burn out and loss of identity. They intended to take a break following the release of 'ON' (same album as Black Swan), but then covid hit and they pushed through to keep ARMY happy and supported.
To think that we didn't know they were feeling this way for 2 years hurts. It hurts a lot. We love our guys and will support them through anything.
oh, yes, since festa dinner I´ve been feeling pretty much dumb about the MOTS7 content just because... all the struggle was there about 2 years ago and I didn´t realized it.
I didn't think it like that ..now that you said Black Swan also released in the same album as 'ON' it hit me after reading your comment..Thanks really
Scream by Dreamcatcher is the first part of a trilogy. Next is BOCA and then Odd Eye
Thank you!
Black Swan always gives me the melancholy feels🥺 It’s a beautiful song about the fear of loosing your passion for something you love the most💜
Thank you for reacting to Seventeen! Hope to see more reactions of them. They're an awesome and talented group
Stray kids and Ateez did a performance together, it’s the performance Wolf in Kingdom, double kill with this video cause both of these groups are my favorite
One of my fav performances ❤

Stage Perform : Wolfgang Kingdom, AOTM Hyunjin, 2020 Mama Victory Song
Thank you, nice to know you Pagan ♡
I‘m so happy that you reacted to (G)I-DLE and I would love to see more reactions to them. I suggest „Oh My God“ and „Lion“. I think u would love these songs of them too.
Just a little fact: Their Leader and Main rapper Soyeon Writes and Produces almost every song of them including Tomboy. She is just a Genius Queen. 2 of the other members, Minnie and Yuqi, also wrote and Produced some of their b-sides. Also 2 Songs each on this full album ‚I Never Die‘
I-DLE are just talented Queens and their personality’s are even better.
For me. I definitely Stan the right group and would love to see more reactions from u bc I think u definitely would love them like I do 💜❤️
It would be so great if you could react to the Kingdom Performances. Stray Kids were on the second season and the Performances from them and the other groups were as always phenomenal. :)
The contemporary dancer in “black swan” is a member of BTS and is called Jimin and yes he has a background in contemporary dance. I felt the same way the first time I listened to this song, there is also a contemporary dance video released by them where students of a dance academy dance to the instrumental of “black swan”, its so moving and thought provoking honestly. Since you like contemporary dance I would recommend that.💜💜
And I would recommend “venom” , “freeze”, “lonely st.” by stray kids💜
Jimin was the top student in his contemporary dance school
I love you Pagan,thank you for reacting to our LEGENDS Stray Kids ❤️😍 more
❤️❤️
Being a multi stan and srsly loving every single group you’ve reacted to so far, I’d rly like to point out seventeen here. As other comments mentioned, they’re a 13 member self-producing/choreographing group. Also known to be the most synchronised dancers in the industry. Their vocal line is incredible strong also great rap and performance. They are made up of 3 units, but mostly perform as a whole. On the other hand, I love them deep down for their personalities and wholesomeness and chaos they provide for their fans and viewers and just even between the members themselves😂🫶. I hope u get to dive deeper into them, slip into the diamond life ;)
The funny thing is that Dreamcatcher was actually an outcast in Korea because of their rock elements but they kept going and now have one of the best discographies in KPOP. The Dystopia trilogy is about online bullying, Maison being about climate change was a new thing this year
Omg thank you for reacting to SEVENTEEN! Can’t wait to see you react to more of them! I highly suggest reacting to their songs:
HOT
HIT
HOME;RUN
Yes!!!
Don't wanna cry dance practice too
"That dancer!!!"
Is Jimin. He originated in contemporary. If you enjoy contemporary there's also solo pieces out there by Seventeen's The 8 (Minghao), Stray Kids Hyunjin, NCT's Ten & Winwin that you'd really like. And the strongest of which (statistically) is one I don't think you've seen, EXO/SuperM's Kai (yes just like NCT he's in multiple groups...it's an SM thing). He was a ballet dancer but is known in Kpop as a dancer with "no weaknesses." There does not exist a genre he can't fluidly/seamlessly include in his performance and his technique/skill set hasn't really changed in 10 years since his debut. He was just already everything from the jump...notoriously an "idol's idol" (all these young idols you're watching...he's their idol). And from what I know they're very longtime friends ("that dancer!!!"). And in Ateez you'll find BTS' Jimin fans, in Seventeen you'll find Shinee/Taemin fans and so on. It's kinda how Kpop blew up in Korea. Ohhh! But the funniest thing I'm seeing now is idols who got into Kpop through their moms and mom & son dance crews (omg I've been around too long 😌).
And yes the live performances are something else (got my Seventeen ticket...can't wait!!). Road to Kingdom and sequel Kingdom were competition shows produced through covid. I believe it was Pentagon...the first group to notice & take advantage of the never before opportunities for the staging/cameras due to the unique layout of their stage and the absence of an audience & it just became a thing. Take a good look cus we'll probably never get to see programs/performances like those again.
And yes you were right, it's cyber bullying (Dreamcatcher)...a REALLY big deal in Korea (more people in one city than my entire Country) and very common theme in Kpop. Sadly sometimes people actually die.
oh, felix was born and raised in australia but moved to korea to become a kpop idol and chan (the other guy with the australian accent) was born in korea but moved to Australia when he was a kid
I swear their accent is SO strong and we honestly love it lol
You should check out the ‘Bts room live 2021 festa!’ It’s a fun video with snippets of few of their best b-side tracks and it’s live. I feel like you’ll get a nice view into their music and the different styles and the wide variety of genres they do. I love your reactions here ❤️❤️
Yeah!!!!!!!~~~~~~~

i was going to suggest this .. along with Daechwita because Yoong is amazing.

BTS, Dreamcatcher... All you need now is to react to Mamamoo and you'll have done my three main faves! From one Irish person (well, half) to another, I strongly recommend Mamamoo; their voices are just gorgeous! And there's only four of them, haha! I'd recommend their songs Aya and/or Hip.
Thank you btw! I'd never really given Stray Kids a chance-no real reason beyond being lazy-and almost every song you've reacted by them has been a bop for me.
Mamamoo the best vocalists in kpop
I highly recommend to check out "The First Take" performances by StrayKids! There are 3 in total. The First Take - Slump is the first one, The First Take - Mixtape: OH the second and The First Take - Scars the third and they are really great to hear their raw live vocals. :)
Yes, I love these. Especially Oh
yes they are beautiful!! Commenting to get her to maybe see it for algorithm :)
up up up i live for skz’s first take
Black Swan is a masterpiece! I fell like crying every time I listen to it
i cried with you during black swan even though it's literally my most played song of all time on spotify (so i've heard it a LOT)
wow I loved your reaction to seventeen, I hope you react to them again soon. some song recommendations I have would be: fear, very nice, oh my, fallin flower (japanese song) and ready to love. their most recent comeback is ‘HOT’ and they are currently in world tour (but europe dates have not been announced yet :( )
Scream is metaphoric commentary about online bullying (and the new Dystopia arc will cover a range of modern day issues using fantasy stories)
The continuation of of Dreamcatcher- Scream is Boca
Scream is a trilogy comes with three song (title tracks) first one Scream then Boca and last one Odd Eye. All of them slaps
For Dreamcatcher, after "Scream" comes "Boca" and then "Odd Eye" in their 3-part Utopia series. You would probably also like "Deja Vu" too.
With BTS, I think you would really enjoy "Fake Love", "Blood, Sweat and Tears" and "On" (I think the Kinetic Manifesto video is better than the actual MV).
You could also check out a soloist, Chung Ha. Her "Dream of You" performance video (all English), "Stay Tonight" and "Bicycle" are all great.

Agreed.
ON choreo mv
Your reaction to Stray Kids - God's Ddu-Du Ddu-Du is everything 👌
23:07 they all get lines, there’s 13 members, 3 sub-units and one whole group, which adds up to 17. that’s why they’re called seventeen 😁
Actually i am a big fan of all these groups but here i want to talk about seventeen they are really great and very unique too they have a lot of members but all of them shine and has something special so talented and they are so funny too also have a great pond they were together as a group since they were kids literally (when they were 13 years old if i am not mistaken)
Would be so glad if you reacted to Boca, the next song in Dreamcatcher's triology, Ateez's Answer and Stray Kids' Christmas EveL. I really love your energy and only discovered your channel yesterday. Can't wait to see you react to more kpop songs and groups!
I'm into this Kpop for a long time now and from my pov whenever a group releases it's new song , we fans already know the vibe and the tone that we gonna get from it.. Each group has different taste and is bound to that only but BTS is the only group that i found who are unpredictable and whatever genre, they do ,it feels like they excels at it.. Their each song is totally different from the other and each and every song is best at it's place.. That's the reason , they have the biggest fandom in the world right now..💜😄
About Seventeen:
I love this group's music. I wouldn't call myself a full stan yet although I keep up with their new releases (and yeah, the group size is one of the reasons why lmao). From the few lyric videos and line distribution videos I've seen of their stuff I can conclude that they give each one of the thirteen members enough time to shine. It's amazing actually since some smaller-sized groups can't even do that.
About (G)I-dle:
Yes you pronounced it right. It's either "gee idle" or just "idle".
About Stray Kids:
Nothing...just congratulations on surviving the last one!
Have you reacted to Ateez? If not yet, I'll suggest "Inception", "Turbulence" and "Hala Hala". Those are my faves of theirs that have MVs (except Hala Hala). The Turbulence MV is really pretty too.
Such fun Stray Kids reactions 💕
As for stray kids felix and bang chan are from sydney Australia
the dancer in BTS Black Swan is Jimin. He is totally unique, as dancer and as singer. There is a behind the scene of his solo part, if you like contemporary dance. ruclips.net/video/xMfp2jcK52M/видео.html
Also, you should react (or see for yourself) to a live performance of Black Swan. My fav is the one at Jimmy Fallon Tonight Show (online perf) , but the James Corden Late Late show is great too. They don't get a chance to performed it live with a big venue, due to the pandemic, but they did it on stage at their recent PtD concert at LA and Vegas , and it was amazing !
Felix's voice: 😈🖤🔪⛓️☠️
Felix's personality: 😇🥰💞🐣
(He's really just a sweetheart, mix of sunshine & cuddle bug)
Both he and Bang Chan are from Australia and have the accents to show lol (they can also just be very sweet & chaotic together)
To get to know them better I really hope you react to a helpful updated guide so u can see what goes on music wise towards production (3racha) and also just their individual talents & personalities
Here's a good guide (has less reading & is probably the best updated 2022 guide yet):
ruclips.net/video/z2Hzo9vZoHA/видео.html
There's another video to Black Swan. With a dance company dancing...you would love it I'm sure. Look it up.
OH MY GOODNESS YES YES!! I am so glad that you reacted to these, I just got to say BTS' Black Swan is Gorgeous it was Amazing (Also the one that you were talking about with the blue hair was Jimin) and then Stray Kids killed it with Thunderous they went OFF and it was catchy, same with their mashup with Blackpink's Ddu-Du-Ddu-Du it was great also we forgot to tell you yeah Felix is Australian as well (And I'm guessing you do know Blackpink?) And I am SO glad 5hat you reacted to Dreamcatcher's Scream it's such a FANTASTIC Song with a great message (Scream, BOCA, and Odd Eye are a trilogy they are all about bullying!) And (G) I-DLE you can pronounce it as what you already called them or just Idle either is fine, and they use to be a six member Group but because of stupid CUBE they got rid of Soojin (because of one rumor about her being a bully in school) and we don't even know if it was true and even if it was it was years ago! You should DEFINITELY check out some guides to Dreamcatcher and (G) I-DLE you will not be disappointed, anyways I can't wait for you to react to more K - Pop Groups/Soloists such as Blackpink, Red Velvet, Mamamoo, Twice, Dreamcatcher, (G) I-DLE, Loona, GFriend, Aespa, PIXY, Purple Kiss, Momoland, Sistar, KHAN, ITZY, Oh My Girl, Everglow, IZ*ONE, WJSN, Sunmi, IU, Taeyeon, and many more! I can't wait for more Content from you and I hope that you are doing well and staying safe and healthy!
P.S. If you ever need any good Videos I could totally help you out if you need it, also here are some more (G) I-DLE songs:

if anyone hasn't explained where that stray kids ddududdudu performance is from i will! basically there was a show called Kingdom: Legendary War that aired at the beginning of 2021 and it was a followup to a show called Road to Kingdom that aired in 2020. Road to Kingdom was a show for less popular boy groups to compete in performance rounds and the winner would go on to compete in Kingdom: Legendary War with more popular groups. A group called The Boyz won Road to Kingdom (they're really good I reccommend checking them out) and competed with groups Stray Kids, Ateez, Ikon, Sf9, and BtoB in Kingdom. This performance is one of Stray Kids's from that show. It won first place, as did most of their other performances, and they ended up winning the show!! This performance in particular is one that REALLY blew up and played a part in catapulting them into who they are and their popularity now. Their other performances (in order minus the one you've already seen) from the show if you want to check them out are their Miroh introduction stage, Side Effects x God's Menu mashup, I'll Be Your Man performance, Colors (only 3 members called 3acha--they are stray kids's producers + 1 member from ateez and 1 member from BtoB), Wolf (3 stray kids members + 5 ateez members and 1 BtoB member), Love Poem (1 stray kids member + 1 ateez member and 1 BtoB member), and their finale performance: Wolfgang :))
YESS DREAMCATHCERRR!!! Yeah, this group is just something else...
I'm not really into BTS, but Black Swan is actually my favorite song from them. You need to check out (don't need to be in video) the Art Film version...it's sooo good and beatiful.
Aww we love you too! You're on your way to Stay 😉 I'm absolutely loving your videos and appreciate how much you're enjoying Ateez and Stray Kids. My faves 🥰
So after binge watching your 3 reaction videos to KPOP esp to Stray Kids and Felix (hahaha), I have finally subscribed to your channel. I’m looking forward to watching your new videos.
Oh thank you so much! 🥰
@@PaganReacts awwww… going to watch your reaction to GG now. Yeeey!
Scream is part of a trio of songs by Dreamcatcher about cyber bullying. A lot of idols took their lives in close proximity, it was a huge tragedy in the industry. So Dreamcatcher made "Scream", "BOCA", and "Odd Eye" as a trio of songs about how your words can hurt people and how hatred spreads.
Contemporary dance is being done by JIMIN in Black swan. He’s so talented. You should react to a guide of BTS. You won’t regret getting into them.
UR REACTION TO FELIX BEING AUSSIE IS EVERYTHINGGGGG HE IS OUR FAVE REPRESENTITIVE
BTS is amazing group. They are completely different from others and has fascinating backstory.
I suggest you to watch introduction about them. Currently the best video is "a guide to BTS members:bangtan 7" by Taylor
You will definitely like it!!
For Scream, it's part of a trilogy about bullying and online bullying, after Scream comes Boca (which translates to mouth in English from I believe Spanish) and after Boca comes Odd Eye
I love your reactions 😍❤️🔥 and I'm a stay so I love it when you react to stray kids Thanks for supporting them.❤️
I really enjoy your videos! Cause I'm kinda new to kpop and thanks to you I discover new awesome groups every time I watch it. The group that got me into kpop was actually Stray Kids. I saw something of their song maniac and thought it was amazing. So I looked them up and imediately fell in love with their music. I'm an absolute STAY now ;) . An other song from them I would highly recomend is "Red lights" it's only done by two of their members but I promise it's fantastic!~
yes bts & seventeen 🤩 i'm loving your reactions btw
i highly suggest "Blood Sweat & Tears" and "Fake Love" by BTS and "Fear" and "HOT" by SEVENTEEN. 😊
The difference level of lyrics depth between a song vs the others is crystal clear ...
Your reactions to stray kids are my favorite OMG!!
girl you should react to the rest of the live stages from kingdom (it's the competition where you saw the god's dududu from) I'd recommend stages like I'll be your man and Wolfgang (ps: they won!!!) they were competing against other idols and they won
you should also react to mvs like
free
victory song
miroh
easy
Christmas evil
I am you
levanter
cheese (this song was towards the haters where they used what the haters said about them to just laugh hence the song being called cheese)
LOVE YOU SO MUCH ♥
Stray Kids - God's Ddu-Du Ddu-Du is still one of my favorite performances. The boys really went wild and I am here for it.
Yeah stray kids god ddu du ddu du set was fire. U can watch (on cam or off cam) with wide camera angle to see how they shot that performance. Just search god ddu du ddu du full cam.
Or watching the behind the scene for more appreciate this performance. U can see how they make the music, recording and practice the dances for this performance. Just search god ddu du ddu du behind the scene, it's on stray kids channel.
That Stray kidz performance at the end was from a show calls (Kingdom) although we all knew it was a scamp but every performance of that show worth to watch their was collaborations, remakes, remixes and everything you can wish for ♥️♥️
"I want to see them live!"
My all time fave Ateez performance is their iconic 2019 MAMA Wonderland "mashup" live performance." You get a better uncut look at San's backbreaking drop (he can even do in slow mo on repeat)...and a couple other things that make fans crazy.
Edit: Oh! And don't forget the "dance practice" of that performance.. Some people think at first there's some kinda weird thing going on with the lighting _ then realize it's not the lights. They're just going so hard the room is actually shaking. And close second (or tie for first) is their "Say My Name (OMG I mean "ANSWER")/Ode to Joy" mashup "Kingdom" performance. Last place on earth I would have been looking for Bethoven's 9th (I've performed) but I'll never hear it the same way again (in the best way EEEEVER!) There (on Kingdom) also is another Wonderland mashup (Dvorak). They trained briefly in the US before debut & their former teacher is now their choreographer. He says his greatest challenge is always meeting the demand to make it "difficult" enough for them, while still being mindful of all the "who's singing when/where" moments (as yes...they actually have to perform these LIVE)...something very foreign to Western Pop choreographers.
As for NCT the only one I've ever seen with all 23 members is 2020's "Resonance" performance. It's a mashup so you can hit several songs (at least bits & pieces of them) in one video. 2018 "Black on Black" is good too...only features 18 members cus the remaining 5 were not yet added to the group. It's their concept to have an open ended number of members & at least one "rotational" unit (NCT U) meaning it's not a "fixed" unit. Members change with every song...whoever fits the concept. I'm sure you'll see lots of comments on this so I won't get into all the details but I believe it's SM's clever hack for overcoming the whole (mandatory) military hiatus thing. They are the one (boy) group that will never be inactive or without any content for any period of time, any reason...at this point the only one I know of.
But yes because Kpop groups are so huge that's where the guides are handy. But they do tend to drag you down an infinitely neverending rabbit hole you'll never see the bottom of. Some reactors are VEEEEEEEERY cautious about guides....only doing them when they've committed to being a full time "_______" (group name) reactor.
Hope that's useful.
Stray Kids Leader of New generation groups
Really enjoying your reactions and discovery of Kpop - honestly the best thing that happened to me was finding Kpop - absolutely love it and can't help but admire them for their training and dedication to their art.
Black Swan will always be the song that deserved everything. It goes beyond music to sheer transcendence.
Pls check out *WayV's "Bad alive"* (they are a sub-unit of NCT)
felixis literally a ball of sunshine and such a sweet guy :)
Stray Kids performed gods dudududu on Kingdom, a tv show. Kingdom is a competition for boygroups (there is also a girlgroup version, Queendom). In this season, iKon, BtoB, The Boyz, Stray Kids, Ateez and SF9 were the groups that competed with each other. There are a few rounds with different missions (?? i cant find the right word). The groups all had to make different performances for each round and the group that did best (got the most votes) got the most points. At the end the group with the most points overall won. Stray Kids won!
Black song is just THAT song, I’ve honestly never seen someone hate it, the instrumental, the lyrics, the visuals, the choreography, everything about this song and the mv is absolute gold.
I subscribed just recently, And I don't regret it💙
More Stray Kids whooo!!!💙🤧
Please do "Freeze" and "Cheese" by Stray Kids.💙
And also fun fact if you didn't know Felix and Bang Chan are Aussies (Felix was born and raised in Australia, and Chan moved to Australia when he was just a baby. Their Families are in Australia).
And also Bang Chan and Lisa (black pink) are good friends, Lisa gifted Chan a hoodie for his Birthday.
It is SO nice to see that someone else has the EXACT same reaction to Felix as I do!! 😂😍
Seventeen is one of my favourite groups and their choreos are so satisfying to watch because they and the group THE BOYZ are the most synchronized groups EVER. It's like watching those satisfying video compilations. Please react to Seventeen's "VERY NICE", " PRETTY U" and "HIT" :) You have reacted to SHINee already...Taemin is one of the members and known as the MJ of K-Pop , you have to react to his solo stuff. I think the songs "MOVE" and "ADVICE" would be a good start. Oh and I dont know if anyone suggested EXO but please react to them as well. Hmm for them I would suggest "GROWL" (one of their older stuff), "LOVESHOT" and "TEMPO" and their beautiful ballad "MIRACLES IN DECEMBER".
I guess I am one of those few that never got warm with Black swan by BTS.
Seventeen probably have the most even line distribution in the ENTIRE industry, even having 13 members. They are fully self produced, from music, to choreography to sometimes even music videos, they are truly the standard. Not to mention Woozi, the main producer, he makes a FANTASTIC job with letting every single member shine. Seventeen is truly amazing and i am happy to see more people enjoy their content🫶🏻
you are spot on, recognizing that in this Black Swan..BTS actually talking abt struggling creatively
With your love of contemporary dance The8 from Seventeen has a whole SERIES of his own contemporary dance video pieces🥺💓
YES! More Dreamcatcher. ULT group!
Black Swan is a really sad and deep song. it was released in February 2020 but it was only literally 2.5 weeks ago that all ARMYs (and for all K-pop it was a shock) found out how difficult it was for them the last 3-4 years.
BTS group is 9 years old (12 if you count before debut time. they have about 55 music videos and over 250 songs and that's only in the group, about 290-295 will be with all their solo songs). Before covid they released the album Map of the soul 7 (7 because there are 7 members in the group) they had to go on a world tour visiting ~8 countries in different cities in stadiums 60 - 90 thousand people where tickets were sold out in a few minutes. And then covid came and broke everything off, the tour was postponed from the beginning, and then canceled. For the group it was a big blow they had been preparing for the tour for several months. As it turned out just now after this tour, they planned to release the “Proof” album anthology released on June 10 this year, continue the tour and take a break from group activities and start promoting each member solo.
But this did not happen due to covid, they did not know what to do, so they decided to release the song “Dynamite” which turned everything upside down! The song was number 1 on the billboard HOT 100 (3 weeks) and spent 31 weeks in the top 100 overall. The music video for Dynamite received 101.2 million views in its first 24 hours. Today it has 1.5 billion views.
Then came “Life goes on” (and BE's covid-themed album), which got 71.63 million views in the first 24 hours.
And last year “Butter” came out, is the most viewed MV in the first 24 hours in the world with 114.5 million views (Yes, they keep breaking their own records), now it has 777 million views. According to Billboard, "Butter" is just 11 of 54 songs to debut at number one on the Hot 100 and have been at number one for five consecutive weeks in the chart's history.
Permission To Dance also came out later. Song dedicated to the end of covid.
BTS has gone global!
Grammy performances for 2 years in a row, a huge number of awards including 3 awards at the AAMA 2021 for group of the year, artist of the year, and the best pop song of the year “Butter”.
And now let's go back to the beginning and to Black Swan, the guys did not plan to release:
-3 songs in English,
- send 4 songs and 2 feats to line 1 hot 100
- perform online concertS (they set a world record for the number of viewers of a concert held online, watched by 756 thousand people).
Because they were tired and exhausted mentally.
-“we stopped understanding who we are”
-“we just don’t know what kind of music to write next”
For almost 3 covid years they hid it from us, made us happy while it was hard for them, and only now they admitted how difficult it was for them during covid and how much pressure was exerted on them for the last 4-5 years and still is. The members lived side by side with each other for 12 years and now they want to relax with each other. But they don’t let us get bored… they admitted that each participant will release his own solo album (for example, one of the guys will release a song on July 1 and the whole album on June 15. And I feel from the teaser and concept photos we will be maybe rock-styled). And after resting and collecting inspiration and energy, they promised to return as a group.
Wow i wrote so much but i only told you 1/3 of their whole big story…
Аnd when you said you've never heard BTS before you were lying😂, because most people have heard Dynamite and Butter but don't know they are BTS songs.
no one talked about stray kıds "ı'll be your man" Can you please react to this too I can guarantee you will be shocked
Kingdom Legendary War was one of my favorite parts of Summer 2021. 6 different groups competed against each other in these crazy performances (Stray Kids, Ateez, BtoB, iKON, SF9, The Boyz) and it shows the fun you get with Kpop. All the groups have different strengths, but the Kpop-ness is in the costume, storytelling, dance, just everything.
I have watched it through more times than I've needed to, honestly. One of the most amazing competitive performance programs that I've ever seen! I highly recommend watching it to anyone who hasn't yet 😘
Stray kids ❤️
Stray Kids Victory Song(MAMA Ver.) is also an incredible performance live !
So we are all simps for Felix's deep voice and Australian accent huh lol. Seventeen has 13 members. One of my favorite groups. They are one of the funniest and most entertaining groups in k-pop, and they also produce their own music, like Stray Kids and BTS. Dreamcatcher, much like BTS have MVs that are connected( and tell a cohesive story). After "Scream" is "BOCA" and then the trilogy is finalized by "Odd Eye"
The lyrics of Black Swan are so sad especially now that they have shared that they have lost direction and are facing creative burn-out. The song came out in 2020, and they were supposed to take a break then, but covid ruined everything. The song was released pre-covid, so they were telling us through those lyrics what they were going through as artists and it hurts so bad now knowing that they have been feeling like that for 2 whole years. If you are interested more in the further meaning of the song in the context of the album it is in I recommend "BTS Black Swan MV Meaning Explained: Breakdown And Analysis (also Corsets)" by "Bookish Theories". They put the song in a whole more deep context, explaining things like why they chose the theatre, the props used, their clothing, etc.
I want to simp for him but he's too much like a little brother. That accent is so familiar.l and comforting.
Your reaction to Stray Kids’ performance for god’s ddu du ddu du was PRICELESS. That was ME TOO. I think when i saw felix lift up his shirt the first time i paused the video and ran away.
