얼음들 "eol um deul" = ice 어른들 "eo reun deul" = adults For this reason, the lyric in 'Melted' - "why is ice so cold?" can be easily misheard as "why are adults so cold?" This is well intended by the singer.
pearlofivris ...glad to hear that.. if korea hasnt stepped up on this one after choosing twice as their nations gg instead of rv no offence but... rv can harmonize and has the talent... akmu is very talented and that talent needs to be hear overseas 💕💕💕
All of them being white is kinda the point. All the guys who "betrayed" him was white; the same race as the kid and the one who helped him is someone of another "race"
One more. "Ices" has same sound with "adults" in korean word. Ices - eol-eumdeul (얼음들) Adults - eoleundeul (어른들) So that mean 'If adults melt(kind), world will be more warm.'. This is my idea, but I don't know if it's true.^오^
my fave thing abt this song is the wordplay for the title. the title is "eoreumdeul (얼음들)" which means "the frozen ones", it's a wordplay to "eoreundeul (어른들)" which means "adult". so when they say "they", they probably mean adults
Also for the lyrics to melted, the word "ices" is similar to the word "adults" in Korean. So when they say "why are the ices so cold, if the ices melt the world will become warmer" it sounds like "why are adults so cold, if they melt the world will become warmer"💕
The difference in the sound of these word is m/n, so it is really really similar. I like the fact that there are many words for adults, but they used the right one for wordplay. if you want han/rom: ice 얼음 (eoreum) adult 어른 (eoreun)
Yes, I was surprised this wasn't pointed out when the lyric translation was given. Like English, "ice" is not typically pluralized in Korean, so when they say "why are ices (얼음들) so cold", it sounds awkward but if you hear instead "why are grown-ups (어른들) so cold", it makes much more sense.
Even though AKMU has so many amazing songs, Melted by far is my favorite. The first time I heard it is when they performed it on SuperStar K live, the live was so breathtaking that to this day I prefer it over the studio version! BTW, I have always wondered what the musicians would think of Brown Eyed Girls' "Sixth Sense"!!! That song is an instrumental and vocal powerhouse! Also, I think that they should be introduced to some serious kpop OG females!!!
melted also includes really smart word play in Korean, the word for ice is '어름들' which sounds almost identical to the word for adults '어른들' and in Korean it can sound like "why are adults so cold" and it emphasises the message in the video and adds even more depth, Chanhyuk is so clever when it comes to all their songs
This has got to be one of the best reactors I've ever watched. I've seen a lot of reaction videos and most of them only pay attention to aesthetics and their bias'. It's so fascinating to hear the opinions of people who knows music so well and explaining every single details for people like me who can't really pick apart different notes and melody changes. Also the fact that they try to understand the emotions and the connections of the music and the video. I can't wait for more reactions!
Yeah, I know about that one but I unsubscribed recently due to the fact that he'd stopped uploading videos anymore. Don't know if he got a job as a music producer but all of a sudden he has not uploaded any new videos.
I love how AKMU intertwined a classical song into their beautiful melody and the musicians are caught off guard bc of how rare classical pieces are put into modern pop let alone Kpop 🤗
AKMU is one of the underrated group INTERNATIONALLY, im just happy that I'm one of the fews FROM OUTSIDE KOREA who appreciate their music... YG MUST PUT closed captions now!!!
VIP_ARMY_ EXOL_BLINK they are NOT underated in Korea 100%. Koreans love them so much...but they are underated with interfan :(( so you could see the view is not so many but they worked really well with the charts in Korea :3
VIP_ARMY_ EXOL_BLINK They are more famous than many groups. They were in melon top 2, only after Ailee. They are really very famous at Korea. It's the international fans that are sleeping on them.
VIP_ARMY_ EXOL_BLINK And I don't think any of the YG artists are underrated. All of them are well known, even the non-mainstream artists and sub-label ones.
DaeKai UGH IKR😭 can we like get a special reaction video, hugo&gwen, and other ones missing too. Ben, Jarod and Peyton. I really want to see all of their reactions to these songs💔
AKMU love to play w words. I think its one of the reason why Korean netz love their songs...even me dont directly understand the lyrics but i always love the overall theme of their songs from PLAY, SPRING and WINTER...they sound fuckin good n catchy 💚💙
Funfact on Last Goodbye - when Chanhyuk composed this song he was heartbroken, so he composed it while he was sobbing and crying. Suhyun said this during one of their interviews :)
it's also very important to point out that "ice" (oreum) in korean also stands for adult. so in another words they're also singing "oh ice/adult why are you so cold". akmu and their genius lyricism hits again!
I find myself listening to random songs on the radio or wherever.. And imagining what you guys would say about it, and trying to listen to all the details. It's the best thing, this channel is really making me appreciate good music more.
I have a very sincere request for the Classical Vocalists to react to Sohyang (specifically what she sang for King of Masked Singer (Mona Lisa and Home) but her songs on I Am a Singer and Immortal Song are also very amazing (Arirang Alone, Bridge Over Troubled Waters, Fate, Lean On Me, and literally everything else, but those are my favorites)). I'm sure it's annoying when people request songs when you have such a busy schedule but she recently lost a six win streak on the show (the second highest) and I'm very emotional rn and I really wanted the reactors and the rest of the viewers to hear her and her stunning talent. She's regarded one of the best singers in Korea and her vocal range spans like three octaves. Her technique and high notes are breathtaking and I just really love her and want to show off her talent to the world and blow everyone away with how great she is. Sorry for such a long request/rant. I'm just v proud of her and upset at her loss. Also, fun facts: she used to be a gospel singer, sang the Korean dub of Moana, was the first Korean artist to sing the American national anthem, has never lived abroad but learned English from singing pop songs and watching TV shows and movies, and beat cervical cancer because she's a badass. Aside from this, I love your channel and all the reactors and I wish you and this channel great success! Thank you for your videos~
chanhyuk is quite playful in his song writing, which shows in Melted where he uses ice. ice in hangul can also be interpreted as adult. so if you read it again it has a totally different feel. i love them and so waited for this video (i clicked as soon as it was up hahaha). thanks! cheers. :D
now, even the beautiful collab between AKMU and 양희은 from the list is gone too .. Mother to Daughter is too good not to be reacted ...even though the song has simple music but had meaningful lyrics. it is so perfect and relatable that it will make you cry more than the Melted song .. (and the video itself had subtitles in different languages. it will make you appreciate more) and also Suhyun effortlessly rap in that song .. ~~
Cool Kiz Yeah!! That one is my favorite! And it should be seen with the lyrics!! I am in Korea so.. I can't find that video on RUclips because of the copyright issue (but I can find it on Naver) plz someone leave the link below for umu!!
I wish you'd explained the lyrics to Melted better to them - the wordplay on 'ice' and 'adults' because the two words sound so so similar that when they're sing about ice being cold, it sounds like they're saying adults are cold. I imagine it would've blown the panel away, esp since the response was that it was poetic.
You don't know how much I waited for this 😢 thank you very much, I knew they would like it. Also I love how Shimon sets free all his excitement when he sees Japanese things Shimon : yo 読める!? Naoki: yeah、もちろん
Hahaha, I agree so much with this, Shimon is always excited if he sees something that he likes. Like the GOT7 reaction last time he was like "Ooh, baseball!" And everytime the music video is in Japan he's like "Hey it's Japan!" Or "it looks like Japan, I thinks it's Japan" hahaha, he's so cute lol 😂
oh my god. they just helped me appreciate the songs more and more. Chanhyuk is a real freaking musician for creating such deep and touching masterpiece.
I've been waiting forever for a Melted reaction but funnily enough I forgot how it was my fav kpop song ever until How People Move. Still, both of them are great for their moods. I didn't know about the wordplay about ice and adults and it just gave a whole new meaning it. Imma go listen to it now and cry.
I really hope that YOU would read this, I wish that you could react to AKMU's Time and Fallen Leaves, The MUSIC is pure Gold..eventhough it is only audio, no MV for it, but this song is Literally a Beauty.
For those who don't know AKMU. They are siblings who were sort of raised in Mongolia because their parents were doing missionary work. As they grew older they saw that school in general was too expensive. So they could only dream to follow music. In Melted the brother wrote most of the lyrics, telling his sister to look towards the future because the past will deteriorate with time.
if they're really like akmu, they should react to busker busker. really, their song is really good, like cherry blossom ending, or love at first. please react to them. I guarantee they will appreciate it
I remember I was so impressed by "Melted" when AKMU's first album came out. I loved all their songs from the K-Pop Star days but I thought this song showed a lot of growth for Chanhyuk as a songwriter. It's such a great song.
you guys reacted to a bunch of songs i havent heard/seen before but "melted" was the first one EVER where i was so focused on the mv and the song that i completely didnt hear or see the reactions wtf
What i love the most about this channels reactions to AKMU is their appreciation and acknowledgment for Chanhyuks voice. I feel like bc Suhyuns so talented, chanhyuk gets overshadowed but all these people are so in awe by him and i love it!
First song : for frozen adults and society, please melted Second song : for a parting lover, please dont remember me badly, memories with you are so precious
Oh they shoulve watched akmu's short film before reacting to last goodbye. Because its connected from it. And they wouldnt be confuse about the story. The whole story is so greaatt and sad..
@ everyone: if some reactor is missing it is because they just could not make it to the recording session. They have a life outside of these videos too 😊
One thing I would NEVER miss when hearing korean songs for the first time is checking out the meaning and the lyrics, hanggul really amazes me at how you can play with it and insert hidden meaning or parallels, it's really amazing
honestly what pushes me back about their reactions is that they are SO loud and they talk a lot in the most exciting parts, which makes them MISS the BEST, BUT they have great reactions and they are so great and i love those videos .. all love
Just to point the main thing about the song melted, Ice and Adults sounds the very similar in Korean, so the song is about Adults(=Ice) being really cold. I've been literally refreshing your channel because I was like waiting for this for so long, I even have an alarm on.
얼음들 "eol um deul" = ice
어른들 "eo reun deul" = adults
For this reason, the lyric in 'Melted' - "why is ice so cold?" can be easily misheard as "why are adults so cold?" This is well intended by the singer.
@@nayo_na ㅇㅈ
Oh, this has the same vibe on Mooz by NinetyOne, where they ask "why are they so cold?"
He was 17 when he produced this song and she was 15 when she sang it.. AKMU are probably the most talented pair in the kpop genre. Truly gifted
She was actually 14 when they first performed it on Kpop Star
I hope they arent underrated in korea
@@aiyoaiyo2768 They are not underrated at all. They're called the nation's siblings, and their songs always chart high on the charts.
pearlofivris ...glad to hear that.. if korea hasnt stepped up on this one after choosing twice as their nations gg instead of rv no offence but... rv can harmonize and has the talent... akmu is very talented and that talent needs to be hear overseas 💕💕💕
Does TVXQ count as duo?
Korean pronunciation "ice" and "adult" are similar. so "why they so cold", they mean ice or adult!
melted MV show that adult has cold-heartrd but we hope that someone is kind
That is so cool and deep
맞아요 !이게 제일 중요한 거죠!! Exactly! This is highlight!
eoleun = adult, eoleum = ice
이게 핵심이죠. 이걸 알려줬어야 했는데! yes!!
other reactors: "they look the same" "idk what is going on"
reacttithek: ohh c a minor d minor g
M LMAO
and this is why i love them
That’s true
Lol that’s right
I love the fact that they actually know what theyre talking about and appreciate fine arts
Every time they sing together, I feel the urge to find their parents and shake their hands in gratitude.
Carolyn Segovia I feel the same

you shouldn't, you should practice social distancing
@@mrsaagar7LMAO☺😂
"akmu" "yeS FUCKEN YES" this is me
May Nguyen Yas me too😂
May Nguyen hahaha hi~~ your react is best !! ^^
"why is he white" made me burst out in laughter, that was hilarious omg
Gloria Park
That reminded me of mean girls's "Why are you white?"
ohmygod karen you can't just ask people why they're white
All of them being white is kinda the point. All the guys who "betrayed" him was white; the same race as the kid and the one who helped him is someone of another "race"
because white live matters...
Hugo : "I'm not crying. you're crying"
that's me. everytime the feels hit.
One more. "Ices" has same sound with "adults" in korean word.
Ices - eol-eumdeul (얼음들)
Adults - eoleundeul (어른들)
So that mean 'If adults melt(kind), world will be more warm.'.
This is my idea, but I don't know if it's true.^오^

All these years knowing this song and I never knew this
that's the sad thing, only people who knows korean can notice this, and i feel like if you translate this song to english loses its meaning :(

Also for the lyrics to melted, the word "ices" is similar to the word "adults" in Korean. So when they say "why are the ices so cold, if the ices melt the world will become warmer" it sounds like "why are adults so cold, if they melt the world will become warmer"💕
The difference in the sound of these word is m/n, so it is really really similar. I like the fact that there are many words for adults, but they used the right one for wordplay.
if you want han/rom:
ice 얼음 (eoreum)
adult 어른 (eoreun)
Wow! Thank you for that great explanation. 💜 💜 💜
Yes, I was surprised this wasn't pointed out when the lyric translation was given. Like English, "ice" is not typically pluralized in Korean, so when they say "why are ices (얼음들) so cold", it sounds awkward but if you hear instead "why are grown-ups (어른들) so cold", it makes much more sense.
That's why I always believe Chanhyuk is a genius.
Living for Hugo's AKMU love haha!
Yes. 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜
BHP Yesssss❤
His reaction when she told they will do Akmu reaction is totally priceless 😄
Me tooooo!! It's always his reaction I look forward to the most when they react to AKMU!!!
his reaction to akmu is like my reaction to them reacting to akmu
Damn I almost cry every time I watch Melted, also I love Yunyi's aesthetic in this
MoiMoi Same. Tugs something in my heart
MoiMoi i cried watching the small screen ;_;
Neel Monte Same, I cried just now T.T
I was bothered by her glasses. They weren't straight. That's one of the reasons why I stopped using glasses.

얼음들 = 어른들
얼음들을 빨리 발음하면 어른들이라고 들리기도 합니다 이런 중의적인 가사로 노래를 더 깊게 표현한것 같습니다
와 이 페이지에 올라온 영상들 쭉 다 봤네요... 음악적으로 kpop을 분석하고 얘기하는 외국인 리액션은 생소하면서도 신선하게 다가오네요 여타 다른 리액션들보다 훨씬 보기좋고 재밌습니다.

I can't wait for more reactions!
that's why ReactToTheK is my favorite KPOP react channel
There's a channel called mrjkpop too who analyses and explains kpop songs (and is also a kpop fan)
Yeah, I know about that one but I unsubscribed recently due to the fact that he'd stopped uploading videos anymore. Don't know if he got a job as a music producer but all of a sudden he has not uploaded any new videos.
oh what the? is it legit and not made up by someone?
작별인사가 음악이라면 딱 이 느낌일거야.. 너무 멋지고

I love how AKMU intertwined a classical song into their beautiful melody and the musicians are caught off guard bc of how rare classical pieces are put into modern pop let alone Kpop 🤗
if you're talking about the Pachelbel, it's actually in a lot of pop songs today..
I think someone needs to buy Hugo and Gwen some akmu albums 😂😂😂😂
ldwon4 omg yess 😂
AKMU is one of the underrated group INTERNATIONALLY, im just happy that I'm one of the fews FROM OUTSIDE KOREA who appreciate their music... YG MUST PUT closed captions now!!!
VIP_ARMY_ EXOL_BLINK they are NOT underated in Korea 100%. Koreans love them so much...but they are underated with interfan :(( so you could see the view is not so many but they worked really well with the charts in Korea :3
VIP_ARMY_ EXOL_BLINK They are more famous than many groups. They were in melon top 2, only after Ailee. They are really very famous at Korea. It's the international fans that are sleeping on them.
they are definitely not underated in korea. It's just international fandom that doesnt show them much love
they always top the charts there though and sell well digitally. if you want more international fans for akmu, spread the word around the internet!
VIP_ARMY_ EXOL_BLINK And I don't think any of the YG artists are underrated. All of them are well known, even the non-mainstream artists and sub-label ones.
The korean side of this song is "ICE". This is similar to the pronunciation of "ADULTS"
ICE=얼음들[eolumdeul]
Adults=어른들[eolundeul]
Shimon: Is this America?
*flashback to AKMU's Give Love where he thought the MV was filmed in Japan and how he pointed out those birds and giraf-*
Melted was filmed in Vancouver, Canada.
I'm so SAD that Gwen wasn't here ! I REALLY wanted to see her reaction to Melted, like REALLY T.T !!!

That's why the MV showed bad adults...

oh my god. they just helped me appreciate the songs more and more. Chanhyuk is a real freaking musician for creating such deep and touching masterpiece.
진짜 명곡이라고 생각합니다
가사도 쩔고... 무엇보다 뮤비와 매치가 환상적이에요
I've been waiting forever for a Melted reaction but funnily enough I forgot how it was my fav kpop song ever until How People Move. Still, both of them are great for their moods.
I didn't know about the wordplay about ice and adults and it just gave a whole new meaning it. Imma go listen to it now and cry.
When you're early 😂 Liking before even watching lol
I live in Gyujin's eyebrows same
I really hope that YOU would read this, I wish that you could react to AKMU's Time and Fallen Leaves, The MUSIC is pure Gold..eventhough it is only audio, no MV for it, but this song is Literally a Beauty.

For those who don't know AKMU. They are siblings who were sort of raised in Mongolia because their parents were doing missionary work. As they grew older they saw that school in general was too expensive. So they could only dream to follow music. In Melted the brother wrote most of the lyrics, telling his sister to look towards the future because the past will deteriorate with time.
if they're really like akmu, they should react to busker busker. really, their song is really good, like cherry blossom ending, or love at first. please react to them. I guarantee they will appreciate it
I remember I was so impressed by "Melted" when AKMU's first album came out. I loved all their songs from the K-Pop Star days but I thought this song showed a lot of growth for Chanhyuk as a songwriter. It's such a great song.
you guys reacted to a bunch of songs i havent heard/seen before but "melted" was the first one EVER where i was so focused on the mv and the song that i completely didnt hear or see the reactions wtf
i don't need notification anymore
맨처음에 얼음에 대한 해석을 어느정도 해주고 들려줬어야했는데
12:20 it's 밉게 날, which (out of context) means "don't think of me badly."
Hugo's "YES FUCKING YESSS" at the beginning is always me whenever i see / hear AKMU's video / song ❤🌼
I'm just distracted by Yunyi's choker. >.
I cry everytime I watch Melted M/V
What i love the most about this channels reactions to AKMU is their appreciation and acknowledgment for Chanhyuks voice. I feel like bc Suhyuns so talented, chanhyuk gets overshadowed but all these people are so in awe by him and i love it!
First song : for frozen adults and society, please melted
Second song : for a parting lover, please dont remember me badly, memories with you are so precious
AKMU ❤️
im here patiently waiting/hoping for a Musical Vocalist Reacts to BTOB's live performances...
Akmu is really talented. I love them
Oh they shoulve watched akmu's short film before reacting to last goodbye. Because its connected from it. And they wouldnt be confuse about the story. The whole story is so greaatt and sad..
I've lost count of how many times this music video has made me cry already
Every time I watch “Melted” I cry. Like I can never not cry. It’s just so beautiful.
My fat ass thought they were trying to say Taco Bell every time they said Pachelbel XD
Isabel Laguna same
그것도 설명해줬으면 했는데 "얼음들"을 한국 발음으로 들으면 "어른들"이라는 발음으로 난다는걸 설명 해줬으면 더 소름돋았을텐데
I love it everytime they react to AKMU MVs. >
Melted is one of my fave Kpop songs. Just such a warm and sort of cozy song.
First time that they are so calm. These songs have those kind of relaxing feeling.
Yeah Kevin, back it again with the 'playing the song with the piano when he just heard it for the first time'
without knowing the lyric,the music, Melody, everything is sooo deep..
@ everyone: if some reactor is missing it is because they just could not make it to the recording session. They have a life outside of these videos too 😊
One thing I would NEVER miss when hearing korean songs for the first time is checking out the meaning and the lyrics, hanggul really amazes me at how you can play with it and insert hidden meaning or parallels, it's really amazing
I have been waiting for this for a really long time and I am not disappointed at all. You guys are the best reactors❤️❤️❤️
I'm not crying. You're crying.
Yayyyyyyy!!!!! My request was finally accepted!!!
"Melted" is such an emotional song T^T And the fact that the korean title of this song means "Ice"(얼음) and it is similar to "Grown-ups"(얼은) in korean.
thefinalthresold2 얼은(×)→어른(o)
Thanks for the correction! I'm not native haha! Only know they sound similar
Two favorite akmu songs. 💞
My heart is overflowing with so much feels right now. 😭
seriously. I cry every time I listen and watch melted T.T
I'm surprised, I thought everyone would really like Melted unanimously. But to each his own.
I have the same choker as Yunyi omg
Happy to see AKMU being appreciated for there talent, this reaction means alot. Lots of great people here ~Thankies from Fandom~
honestly what pushes me back about their reactions is that they are SO loud and they talk a lot in the most exciting parts, which makes them MISS the BEST, BUT they have great reactions and they are so great and i love those videos .. all love
Just to point the main thing about the song melted, Ice and Adults sounds the very similar in Korean, so the song is about Adults(=Ice) being really cold.
I've been literally refreshing your channel because I was like waiting for this for so long, I even have an alarm on.
