male backing vocals in Dreams Come True is Yoo Young Jin! he's written so many songs for SM and you can hear his voice in many other sm artists' songs, eg. Boa's 'Better'
We bring the boys out, GIRLS' GENERATION, SNSD is coming back, my wig really and truly flew like WHAT?!?!? 15 YEARS. This is truly insane. And I love that even though Tiffany, SooYoung and SeoHyun are not with SM anymore, they're still with SM and the girls. That 15+ years of great times. I really can't wait for them to come back
girls its just as u said, is just like black mamba. much simpler and yet gets better at every single listen. i had a very neutral first impression of this song but i'm loving it more at each listen, just like black mamba!
Not sure if you have checked out aespa SMCU ep 1 & 2 but it basically explains the storyline. They are extremely well done and quite cinematic! Also I feel like I really appreciate what SM is doing with the whole Kwangya concept and the risk they are taking with it, as I feel like literally every damn kpop song is about love or having a crush. I understand for many the storyline is a lot to take in and you can definitely lose some people there lol, but for me it makes me extra curious as to where the story is going and how their music with develop along with it. SM really went balls to the wall with the concept/story so you can tell they really believe in the vision they have for Aespa. But I do also like that they have releases that aren't solely about their universe! They can do it all!
Yay welcome back Dylan! I am so excited for the SNSD comeback and know that you are even more excited than me, which just adds to the excitement. I also love a good mega reaction video!
Girls was definitely an instant love for me. Black Mamba was a like, and Next Level and Savage were growers for me. I'm so happy to finally get a title track that I got hooked on immediately.
Episode 2 of the SM CULTURE UNIVERSE is out and it basically explains everything that Girls is showing in terms of lore. You did react to episode 1 that is "Black Mamba" and then episode 2 is "Next Level"
Illusion was ranked #1 in China on QQ音乐 Kpop Chart this past June 17th. Recent interviews have revealed that each member loved the vocals they all performed throughout it. The dance practice on SM's newest channel SMP FLOOR highlighted the lyrical insightfulness of snake charming which correlates to Black Mamba. Thus a very sad fact we won't see an MV for it unless someone Kickstarted a couple million bitcoins to funnel towards the label's creative directors just to make time for countless hours of CGI editing...... You never know.... with Kpop stans these days... Dreams Come True
Dreams Come True is a remake of S.E.S so the bridge is a callback. They did sing Life’s too Short last. However, everyone wanted them to do Dreams Come True but they didn’t change the set list. They said Illusion was way better song than Girls during the tour. Girls was regretted NCT song but since it’s SMUniverse and they are a connected group it makes sense to use the song for aespa. Also it reminds me of Kick it which is the consensus.
The MV is similar to Savage the Difference is that aespa fighting the ae of the Blackmamba in Kwangya while in Girls it seems that they fight the Host of blackmamba itself. We can already see that they Synk in their ae to use it's power.
I've missed your video style! you do a lot of editing and audio gags/memes that I really enjoy but it's not overdone. some people do it over the top and it makes it feel ungrounded and all over the place, but you get the right balance! thank you for posting again!
Yoo Youngjin is singing some backing vocals of Dreams Come True, and you definitely should react to some S.E.S songs like LOVE, Dreams Come True, Im Your Girl, Twilight Zone, Be Natural and Just A Feeling.
Yay! I'm so happy you posted a new video! As soon as I saw Aespa had a comeback, I thought about your reaction! I enjoyed the mini album and liked this comeback, but I did find it underwhelming. I felt like it wasn't as catchy or memorable compared to their other releases. I think so far my two favorites from Aespa have been Black Mamba and Next Level. I also did enjoy their cover of Dreams Come True and I liked the ethereal vibe it had!
4:50 Exactly!!! what is it with these kpop groups that have fluent english speakers but english lyrics that just don't make any damn sense lmao. Like surely giselle would have been in the recording booth like "uhh guys... what is this"
I think the "do you wanna up and down" and "do you wanna up side down" in Dreams Come True might be....composed by BoA...? That's my guess, but she's good at English too so I'm not too confident...
I still prefer the original Dreams Come True, it is iconic, like it reminds me of a Barbie magical movie or something like that hahaha. Aespa's wasn't my jam until a couple of weeks ago tbh and now I like it more
I got the same Not barbie vibe when I first heard Life's too short, I think the original title of Illusion is Yummy in your tummy or something like that
Hey Dylan glad you put this reaction First of all my brother yaaas finally we are getting a SNSD comeback 😍😍 and I am all happy and hyped up , as someone who has been a sone for Soo Soo long and I have been watching your reactions to SNSD I am happy cause I will get to see you put more SNSD content , and about the reality show it's fun and we all know the girls are the queens of entertainment For aespa's Comeback I really loved everything they did illusion is a catchy song ( think about it from black mamba 's pov ) , life's too short is a song they released not only to address the haters but it's kinda related to their concept you need to check their SMCu sm universe episodes 1 and 2 to understand ,vand you ate wrong because they broke into America with life's too short and they performed it in many events and shows there recently , yes the one who was singing the chores is Karina she has beautiful vocals and deep register besides being a rapper and visual and a lead dancer she's all rounded and she's my bias I love her and I love winter don't get me wrong I love Giselle and NingNing too Girls is a catchy viby song I love it Soo much especially it has a rock vibe to it I dig it And lol the way you kept saying kwangwa instead of keangya 😂😂😂
Omfg, I had a realization… when Dylan was talking about the songs being about Kwangya/storytelling, it’s literally Opera… music as a storytelling device
yey dylan welcome back!! i really love your reaction to aespa we kinda have the same opinion lol cant wait for your other videos for this summer girl groups releases specially to snsd 🫶 pls react to chungha sparkling ✨
4:50 This song is a remastared one from a kpop 90's song and I guess in that time they didn't really made any research that lines makes sense or not, maybe they sounded cool in that time and added it, aespa is singing the original lyrics so I guess that makes sense. Sorry if I speak english bad
Lmao! It’s funny that you mentioned Giselle was fluent in English. I was wondering the same thing…even if she brought it up..would they change the lyrics? I’m genuinely curious.
was still waiting for the reaction to Hyoyeon's DEEP and Stupid! also HYO is rumoured to be the next villain on aespa's storyline now that Black Mambais dead, since Hyoyeon was arachne/Black Widow on her DEEP MV so everyone thinks that it's a hint!
(not sure if you want it, but if you want to have chapters in the video then type the timestamp first then the title, and the first one needs to be 0:00 like this: 0:00 Intro 2:53 Dreams Come True etc.)
SM already introduced us to the some other villains of Kwangya. Seulgi and Hyoyeon. Seulgi’s villain was introduced in red velvets feel my rhythm and Hyo’s villain was introduced in her video for deep
girl, tell me when having a member fluent in english meant anything to kpop lyricists
Lol
Okay tea though 🥸
"KWanGWa" has me SCREAMMINGGG 😭😂

There is an ongoing SNSD show. It is a bop, please watch and support them.
PURRRRR
girls its just as u said, is just like black mamba. much simpler and yet gets better at every single listen. i had a very neutral first impression of this song but i'm loving it more at each listen, just like black mamba!
Love it when he said Karina is a "vocal queen and she's been hiding it" bc yaass
Illusion is a song about Black Mamba's POV swallowing/devouring its victims (or aespa) so it makes sense why the lyrics is like that
The “alien” speak in Dreams Come True is in the original song, but the post-choruses (“Do you wanna upside down”) was added btw

UP!
UP!
UP UP UP UP UP UP UP PLUS DYLAN HYOYEON MAY BE THE NEXT VILLAIN
He already checked for the first one. Just scroll down for aespa reaction. He's usually not always put it on the title
Yay welcome back Dylan! I am so excited for the SNSD comeback and know that you are even more excited than me, which just adds to the excitement. I also love a good mega reaction video!
Girls was definitely an instant love for me. Black Mamba was a like, and Next Level and Savage were growers for me. I'm so happy to finally get a title track that I got hooked on immediately.
The original Dreams Come True is just as beautiful and dreamy! You should def listen to it
"doing me regardless" was Karina and Giselle alternating
Episode 2 of the SM CULTURE UNIVERSE is out and it basically explains everything that Girls is showing in terms of lore. You did react to episode 1 that is "Black Mamba" and then episode 2 is "Next Level"
there we go, our girl is back and giving it for the children!!!!!

I'm cackling at Dylan's explanation of aespa's role in the SMCU 😂😂😂
Dreams Come True is a remake of S.E.S so the bridge is a callback. They did sing Life’s too Short last. However, everyone wanted them to do Dreams Come True but they didn’t change the set list. They said Illusion was way better song than Girls during the tour. Girls was regretted NCT song but since it’s SMUniverse and they are a connected group it makes sense to use the song for aespa. Also it reminds me of Kick it which is the consensus.
4:06 that is yoo young jin's voice. Their producer. If you listen carefully, his voice also appear in "girls" song, in part "we them girls"
We better get girls generation reaction for reality shows, teasers, album songs and everything
The MV is similar to Savage the Difference is that aespa fighting the ae of the Blackmamba in Kwangya while in Girls it seems that they fight the Host of blackmamba itself. We can already see that they Synk in their ae to use it's power.
Illusion is Black Mamba point of view !!
I cracked up when you said Winter slap me 😭😭😂😂
Girls is the final episode of Season 1 for SMCU. Black Mamba died and they might get a new villain for the next season.
Again same concept after black mamba dead i think they are going to did new concept😶😭🤔
I've missed your video style! you do a lot of editing and audio gags/memes that I really enjoy but it's not overdone. some people do it over the top and it makes it feel ungrounded and all over the place, but you get the right balance! thank you for posting again!
KWANGWA 😭😭😭 never change dylan
Speaking kwangwan 😭😭
The way I was waiting for this
The President of the SONE Fandom is back!! 💗👑 We're excited to see more SNSD contents from you!!
the more he say "KWANGYA" the more wrong it sound 🤣 but don't change it
We need a Grill Generator comeback reaction!
Yoo Youngjin is singing some backing vocals of Dreams Come True, and you definitely should react to some S.E.S songs like LOVE, Dreams Come True, Im Your Girl, Twilight Zone, Be Natural and Just A Feeling.
I'm wheezing😭 you're so funny, THE EDITING SKILLSSS😭
Sistar also had a reunion we LOVE WOMAN
illusion dance practice just hits different
Your reactions are always the best 🤣
everytime you said kwangwa i was in tears
YAY I’m so excited for you, gg I can’t wait!
Yay! I'm so happy you posted a new video! As soon as I saw Aespa had a comeback, I thought about your reaction! I enjoyed the mini album and liked this comeback, but I did find it underwhelming. I felt like it wasn't as catchy or memorable compared to their other releases. I think so far my two favorites from Aespa have been Black Mamba and Next Level. I also did enjoy their cover of Dreams Come True and I liked the ethereal vibe it had!
And Dylan the Snsd Super fan is back can not wait for those videos reliving the early 2000s
This was so fun!
Thank you for a big ass aespa content! And I agree Karina is a vocal queen and just keeps on surprising us! 🙌
I don’t know if you already know but Chungha just had her comeback titled “Sparkling”
07:55 sounds like karina. She's a really GREAT vocalist. I was obsessed with her Savage lines 😭❤️
I personally really enjoy Karina's vocals. We can clearly hear her in their latest releases
i'm happy you're back Dylan!
I’m laughing so hard with the side comments and the edits!!! LOL!
You should react to aespa SMCU ep 2 too, it is 10x more cinematic and amazing compare to ep 1.
4:50 Exactly!!! what is it with these kpop groups that have fluent english speakers but english lyrics that just don't make any damn sense lmao. Like surely giselle would have been in the recording booth like "uhh guys... what is this"
dylan youre back! hope you can react to chungha's sparkling mv and her whole 'bare and rare' album!
8:30 I am obsessed with karina’s voice
i cant believe snsd is actually coming back likeeeeeeee
I think the "do you wanna up and down" and "do you wanna up side down" in Dreams Come True might be....composed by BoA...? That's my guess, but she's good at English too so I'm not too confident...
I honestly think it was yoo youngjin he’s responsible for all of SM’s questionable English lyrics Lmfao
I still prefer the original Dreams Come True, it is iconic, like it reminds me of a Barbie magical movie or something like that hahaha. Aespa's wasn't my jam until a couple of weeks ago tbh and now I like it more
he’s back!!!
Lingo! it’s one of the b-sides but an unexpected favorite
DYLAN I MISSED YOU 😭
Just wait til sm puts snsd into kwangya 💀
i'm sorry dyl but you saying "kwang-wa" took me tf out hahahah
Your reactions are always so fun to watch! Can't wait for your reactions to GG's variety shows and I am going to watch it with you!!
I got the same Not barbie vibe when I first heard Life's too short, I think the original title of Illusion is Yummy in your tummy or something like that

Hey Dylan glad you put this reaction
First of all my brother yaaas finally we are getting a SNSD comeback 😍😍 and I am all happy and hyped up , as someone who has been a sone for Soo Soo long and I have been watching your reactions to SNSD I am happy cause I will get to see you put more SNSD content , and about the reality show it's fun and we all know the girls are the queens of entertainment
For aespa's Comeback I really loved everything they did illusion is a catchy song ( think about it from black mamba 's pov ) , life's too short is a song they released not only to address the haters but it's kinda related to their concept you need to check their SMCu sm universe episodes 1 and 2 to understand ,vand you ate wrong because they broke into America with life's too short and they performed it in many events and shows there recently , yes the one who was singing the chores is Karina she has beautiful vocals and deep register besides being a rapper and visual and a lead dancer she's all rounded and she's my bias I love her and I love winter don't get me wrong I love Giselle and NingNing too
Girls is a catchy viby song I love it Soo much especially it has a rock vibe to it I dig it
And lol the way you kept saying kwangwa instead of keangya 😂😂😂
This is the video I didn’t know I needed till now
the kwangwa always get me lol
'KWANGWA' 😭😭😂😂
Omfg, I had a realization… when Dylan was talking about the songs being about Kwangya/storytelling, it’s literally Opera… music as a storytelling device
Sir it's kwangYA
LMAO YOUR EDITING WAS FUNNY AIGHT
✨kwangwa✨
yey dylan welcome back!! i really love your reaction to aespa we kinda have the same opinion lol cant wait for your other videos for this summer girl groups releases specially to snsd 🫶 pls react to chungha sparkling ✨

‘They’re talking about fcking??’ *CLOSEUP ON WINTER WINKING*… cinema
DYLAN PLEASE LISTEN TO THE ORIGINAL DREAMS COME TRUE !!! ITS BY S.E.S AND THEY ARE SM'S FIRST GIRL GROUP!! The vocals in the song are pure serotonin 😍
Omg just be my bestie alreadyyyy 🤩
Illusion is so good tho. And i love it even more watching the dance practice cuz is so fire.
4:50 This song is a remastared one from a kpop 90's song and I guess in that time they didn't really made any research that lines makes sense or not, maybe they sounded cool in that time and added it, aespa is singing the original lyrics so I guess that makes sense. Sorry if I speak english bad
thank you for mentioning not barbie, cause I've been wondering why the verses sounded so familiar
react to illusion dance practice ...it will hit different
miss you so much
You should watch Episode 2: Next Level. It really explains the storyline of the videos and songs while broadening the Aespa universe.
Lmao! It’s funny that you mentioned Giselle was fluent in English. I was wondering the same thing…even if she brought it up..would they change the lyrics? I’m genuinely curious.
No wonder I've been liking Life's Too Short so much. How did I not connect it with Not Barbie right away? Good ear. 😍
"They're talking about [REDACTED]?!" DYLAN NO!
was still waiting for the reaction to Hyoyeon's DEEP and Stupid! also HYO is rumoured to be the next villain on aespa's storyline now that Black Mambais dead, since Hyoyeon was arachne/Black Widow on her DEEP MV so everyone thinks that it's a hint!
5:14 we were just speaking kwangwan 😭😭😭
I took the elevator/hoot lyric as an SNSD Hoot reference
Chungha just came back, and the Single and yhe album are fire.
Not you thinking Naevis is dead 😂
At this point I'm not sure if Dylan says "kwangwa" because he's sort of making fun of it or he really mistook it for kwangya. Hahaha.
(not sure if you want it, but if you want to have chapters in the video then type the timestamp first then the title, and the first one needs to be 0:00 like this:
0:00 Intro
2:53 Dreams Come True
etc.)
SM already introduced us to the some other villains of Kwangya. Seulgi and Hyoyeon. Seulgi’s villain was introduced in red velvets feel my rhythm and Hyo’s villain was introduced in her video for deep
Coachella deleted the entire livestream and they only upload whatever they want
dylan the backup vocal was done by yoo young jin he sings snsd beautiful girls lmao
I LOVE YOUUUU
been watching your channel since the very start and watching you react to aespa is bringing back memories. love that we’re both here years later.
the 4sashi link I'm screaming
kwangwa 😭😭
PLEASE react to the SNSD reality show. You're the queen of sones, Dylan.
