Billlie is THE most underrated k-pop group. A true non skip discography. Talent like you wouldn't believe (singing, rapping and dancing). Fire live performances. And a lore you can literally get lost in!
yesss this is so exciting, billlie is one of my absolute fave groups along with loona, red velvet, and stayc. i know you’ll adore the rest of their discography if you decide to check it out! also in terms of performance they might just be my absolute favorite currently active group because their energy on stage is just sooo infectious and they really know how to put on performances that feel unique to the song.
Finally a fellow various and precious enjoyer!! A thing I love about Billlie is how their melodies just take a direction you can’t expect and it’s SO interesting to listen to! Other songs I feel this applies to would be their debut RINGXRING and B’rave (there’s an amazing performance recording of this one). Hoping to see you reacting to and loving more Billlie songs in the future :) really one of the most talented groups ever
Omg this was such a FUN reaction!!! Billlie is one of my ult groups because the bridges are always bridging, the vocals are vocalling, the choreo is fire, the rappers are all round aces and the albums are STUNNING!! So glad you had such a great time with the girls!!
Billlie quickly became one of my top 3 groups (along with Dreamcatcher & Loona - and all their successors) after their debut in 2021. The group is just INCREDIBLY stacked with talent - two Main Vocals (Haram and Suhyeon), two Main Dancers (Tsuki and Sheon), two Main Rappers (Moon Sua and Siyoon), and pretty much every member has at least one Lead position. Silver hair is indeed Moon Sua, who is also unofficial leader - she trained for ten years at YG and another two at Mystic Story before debuting in Billlie. Sua was on hiatus for almost a year due to the death of her brother, Astro member Moon Bin in March 2023, and Suhyeon was also on hiatus for most of that time due to health reasons. Billlie had one comeback as five members in late 2023, but are back to full strength now. Billlie got their first music show win for "Eunoia" - they just completed their first tour of Europe, and will be touring the Americas in November/December.
Just to clarify, Sua was only out for a couple of months for mourning; she came back as Suhyeon left in June, then went on a second hiatus for health reasons in September.
Yes Billlie!!! Such an underrated group, they have so much talent and fun songs. Just FYI if you check out some newer things by them, Moon Sua and Suhyeon took some time off from group activities and did not participate in the latest comeback (don't worry, they are back and stronger than ever). If you really get into the group I recommend watching two videos, the first one being the remaining 5 members eating and talking about the responsibility they felt being two members down (I gained so much respect for them watching that, not many groups talk about those struggles and you can tell they're really hard working too). The second video I recommend is after Moon Sua and Suhyeon return, again they eat together and have a really deep talk, how the situation brought them closer.
Wait till u check out their Japanese song Domino, it is truly a banger. Also all of billlie’s mv are connected to one massive storyline. So there is a lot to unpack with billlie also check out their dance covers. They do a amazing job of covering boy group choreography. I love billlie so much and i’m very obsessed with this group like super obsessed. They always leave me wanting more. I’m proud to have discovered and follow them when they were still trainees. Mystic story we’re releasing billlie content even when they were trainees. Side note dude: suh yeon and haram sounds identical when their hitting those high notes. Its next to impossible to tell. In the lyrics video, when its highlighted thats who is singing.
the girl at 9:01 is Siyoon, one of the main rappers and lead dancers! she's my bias and im glad you pointed her out :) their discography is such a hidden gem
@@summercushion Nah, even then it still shows more of her than the group. I've seen some Billie Eilish videos where the uploader has put 3 L's by accident as well, and it tries to account for that.
I know every kpop fan seems to say this about their favorite groups but I mean it when I say (for me) they have NO skips! Excited to see where this goes :)
Great vid, thanks! My buddy and I are huge Billlie fans and you said a lot of stuff that we always say about them. I hope you check out more of them! They have a comeback in a week and a half :)
Last comment-- I'm with you on constructive comparisons between groups. In good faith, it's very helpful to get a sense of how the group is hitting you the first time
Check out their stages. Unfortunately, most of them are just standing still and singing. ALL of Billlie's songs that have choreography (including the B-sides) will have a Dance Video to watch. One thing I like about Mystic Story is that they never hide their choreography! So if you search for a song and scroll down and don't see a dance video with thumbnails of them in the practice room, that means the song you're looking for doesn't have a choreography! The only exception is 'everybody's got a $ECRET' which has choreography but doesn't have a full dance video. This song does have a dance video but it's only half the song. It was a trailer for an online concert at the time! There's no other song with choreography that doesn't have a dance video in the practice room!
Just one thing, the colorcoded lyrics video for extra-ordinary was kinda wrong so some parts u thought that one member singing it was actually another member. But thanks for reacting to Billlie 😍
Idk if someone said it already or not, but the line "the sound of a pipe, what if it's not a pipe" is a reference to the treachery of images by rene magritte. It's a painting of a pipe, with "this is not a pipe" written underneath in french.
I actually just discovered TK's reaction last night before bed, and now yours was on the sidebar recs, so here I am! Apologies for the essay, but I have stuff to say, and hopefully you find something useful in it. 😜 0:35 Wow... from the intro sting, I thought you were starting with Eunoia... but the lore video too..? _Nice!_ 1:35 Main vocal #1 *Haram,* and yes, yes she is. By the by, our narrator is main vocal #2 *Suhyeon.* She's also an actress. 2:25 That's a fantastic thing to hear! You're in for _such_ a treat with these girls; they really are the _whole package,_ and while I'm not a huge fan of the term "underrated", I genuinely feel it's warranted in their case. 4:15 Yup, I'd say "all-visual" sums it up... 😍 4:45 Yeah, he's a copper. A girl has gone missing, and he's here to investigate... 6:20 The film you just watched was actually a teaser dropped about a week before the EP, and was actually there to push the story forward. While their music alone is enough to love 'em for, they have a lore which connects virtually their entire discography, and adds a whole fantastic new layer to delve into when you're ready... 6:35 Oh, yeah, they can _move,_ too. Each of them is an awesome dancer, and they work with the team at 1MILLION dance studios (iykyk) to create their choreography. 7:25 That's main rapper #1 *Moon Sua* (Moon is her surname, Sua is her personal name)... 9:00 And this is main rapper #2, *Siyoon* (she-yoon). _Love_ to see her getting some attention! She's my bias; I call her my Eye Magnet™, because she _constantly_ pulls my attention... (I actually got the chance to tell her when I met them in London on their European tour in July, and she seemed genuinely pleased at the compliment... 🥰) 10:45 Yeah, while they have the vaguest leaning toward an R&B vibe overall, they're not about to rest on any laurels; every single title track has been utterly different from the last, and their B-sides further cover the gamut of genres. And they own every one. 12:00 Kinda hits, don't it? 😜 14:40 "YOO-NOY-A". It's a feeling of goodwill. 14:55 It's Mystic Story's intro _for this EP._ The tune remains the same, but the sound and visual style changes to fit with whatever video it's fronting. 15:35 *Sheon* (pronounced "Shaun", more or less, real name Kim Suyeon, main dancer #1) is being introduced here as a transfer student. IRL, she joined the group shortly after they debuted, so she's not on the first EP or in the debut MV. This EP serves as a prequel, and here we're seeing where she entered the story. The little owl is called Glau. 15:40 Like you say, all-visual. That's main dancer #2 *Tsuki.* 16:55 That is indeed Sua. Oh, yeah, they're _all_ singers, _all_ dancers, and... actually most of 'em can rap too. Sua is actually also a designated lead vocal. 18:10 Just to point out, that's Siyoon again; that vocal run is also coming from a main rapper. 😎 19:25 SM bought the majority share of Mystic Story long after it formed, so while Mystic _is_ technically a subsidiary, it's really run as an entirely separate label. 20:25 Yeah, it'll do that to you. 21:40 Sometimes words are unnecessary. 😜 And yes indeed, this is where we came in... and no, the lore video dropped about a week before this did, so this is the order we _all_ saw them in. 23:40 Various and Precious is a fansong, written to show appreciation to Belllie've (that's us). They actually have one of these on every EP (we have a total of 5 so far), and aside from the very first (Flowerld, which is included in the lyrics to this song), all of them are co-written by the girls themselves, giving even more meaning to them. 🥰 So next time you listen to it, remember that it's _for you._ 24:45 Yeah, those vocal harmonies were the key thing that made me _really_ fall for them; they're my cheat code. Everything else followed. And when you _see_ them doing these harmonies _live,_ it really hits just how good they are. 25:40 *Haruna's* our maknae, by the way. Dance is her speciality, but I _adore_ her vocal tone. Also, she's one of the most adorable beans you will _ever_ encounter, and all the other girls absolutely _simp_ for her. 26:25 BILL FRIGGIN' WURTZ SHOUTOUT?! If I hadn't just subbed to you already, that would have done it. 27:40 While I think you're gonna love Billlie's music overall, it's actually just reminded me of their _next_ fansong, _"soul savior (I don't need a superman)";_ I have a _very_ good feeling that you're gonna like that one. 28:10 When I'd made my decision to deep dive Billlie's discography... a couple of years ago now... B'rave was the song that made go from "in", to _"IIIINNNN"._ Before long, I'd bought every version of every album, a Season's Greetings (calendar etc), and signed up to their fanclub, and they're now one of only three groups in my S-tier, along with Dreamcatcher and Rolling Quartz. Also, the NYLON performance video was where Siyoon informed me of her Eye Magnet™ status. Also the song earwormed for a straight month, gave me _every_ chance to start hating it, and failed _utterly._ 29:30 For Suhyeon, I'd _strongly_ recommend checking out her cover of IU's "Hold My Hand". It's absolutely gorgeous, _really_ highlights her vocal chops and the video also serves as a Billlie travel vlog (it was filmed while they were in Japan). 30:45 In the behind the scenes of the EP's recording session, _everyone_ loved Haruna's little "one more try"... 🥰 33:10 I predict that it _will_ be a perfect 6 for 6. As hard as it is to pick a favourite Billlie song, nevertheless is way up there. Also it earwormed me almost as hard as B'rave did. 33:35 I'm _loving_ all this praise/hatred for Siyoon. Personally I just want to keep her in my pocket (it's okay, I have big pockets). 😂 34:15 Also, just to note, this particular colour-coded gets quite a lot of the line distribution wrong, so you're not _necessarily_ hearing who's highlighted. But you were right to rage at Siyoon and Sua, that was indeed them. A lot of the "wow wow wow wow" bits are actually Siyoon, with a couple being Tsuki. 37:00 I think it's getting it right here, but either way, yeah, it's both Suhyeon _and_ Haram hitting those notes. 38:10 Oh, you should _absolutely_ check out chapter two. Also the rest, you won't be dissapointed. If you want to see them live, it may be worth heading over to "kpoptickets-dot-com" (YT hates when I post links); they're touring the Americas in November/December... And if you want to know a bit more about them, you have a commenter here called "momosunrise"; head to their channel, where they have a fantastic just-under-an-hour guide to Billlie and the members.
being angry at nevertheless for how good it is is a perfectly proportionate reaction tbh
Billlie is THE most underrated k-pop group. A true non skip discography. Talent like you wouldn't believe (singing, rapping and dancing). Fire live performances. And a lore you can literally get lost in!
I agree so so much that's so trueeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑
bro billlie is SO good, they have one of my fav discographies in kpop
9:20 It's a reference to ''Ceci n'est pas une pipe'' the most well-known surrealist painting by Magritte
Classic Billlie, haha. Love their taste in cultural references
yesss this is so exciting, billlie is one of my absolute fave groups along with loona, red velvet, and stayc. i know you’ll adore the rest of their discography if you decide to check it out! also in terms of performance they might just be my absolute favorite currently active group because their energy on stage is just sooo infectious and they really know how to put on performances that feel unique to the song.
Please listen to the Billage of Perception chapter two as well!!! That entire album is CRAZYYY
agreeee!
another group that is musically similar to billlie is gwsn. you should definitely check out their music bc they have some great b-sides!
Finally a fellow various and precious enjoyer!! A thing I love about Billlie is how their melodies just take a direction you can’t expect and it’s SO interesting to listen to!

Big fan of your keyboard being included in the reaction! Very unique
edit-- figures you also love Bill Wurtz haha
He's a true genius!!💯
RUclips search system failing me, been showing my Billie Eilish reactions for days instead. At least B'rave showed up and lead me here.
🤣 Even when I was researching the group the first results were billie eilish 😭
probably need to write the 3rd L 😂
@@summercushion Nah, even then it still shows more of her than the group. I've seen some Billie Eilish videos where the uploader has put 3 L's by accident as well, and it tries to account for that.
U can guys fix that by adding kpop and it will just show u billlie. I always put billlie kpop to my RUclips searches
I'm so happy😊
YEESS thank you for this
I love them
would love to see a deep dive into every album their music is truly so different than anything else
omg i love them sm
I know every kpop fan seems to say this about their favorite groups but I mean it when I say (for me) they have NO skips!

I appreciate your comments and enjoying the video! And couldn't agree more with that statement✊🏻
I was really wanna this style from stayc. But its okay cuz now I find billie.
