i was going through your channel and wondering why u havent react to hoppipolla or lucy or such😭 you guys should totally check them up pls
I personally stay up to date with both bands. But no matter the group, we run all songs through a vetting process! To learn more about that process and see what songs we'll be reacting to in the future, check out the description of or pinned comment on any of our 2020 react videos :)
If it's possible I would love to see an interview with MZMC (producer of Love shot, Tempo, kokobop, 7th sense, Kang Daniels who you are and all CIX songs and hundreds more) im sure he would have a lot of insides from the industry since he lives in korea and did kpop for years. Very curious what he has to say when asked the right questions. It would be very interesting.
I wonder how you schedule meet up with them and like how to become part of the ReacttotheK team..
it's kinda strange cuz i still can't get over punch's intro and whispering parts...😭
Ikr.. like Punch is one of my fave from NCT...
Same Punch is actually one of my favorite NCT's title tracks
Omg I’m literally addicted to Punch dudeeee
so true.. it's like crack
Mmmh is one of the most addicting songs that ever existed. It was great to hear how the song came to life
punch was definitely a magical baby, they took such good care of it and it resulted in a masterpiece. oh god i love punch way too much i'm so happy to hear how it came to be. punch is legendary
i'm super excited to see who he works with next!!
I literally went back to watch 'Mmmh' after he explained the song in a whole new diff way like damn they really worked so hard to bring this Bop to us.. we should be grateful like verryyyy grateful. Nothing but respect 😭👏
Hoping to witness a collaboration between Alawn and Kun in the future then Umu will feature them for an interview WILL BE EPIC!
Oh yessss
Every time talented producers compliment Kun it adds 5 years to my lifespan
Man ... I noticed that after watching these interviews i have a much deeper appreciation when listening to the songs featured because you know how much work the producers put into. Another great video umu!!!
when alawn says that it takes a couple of listens to really get used to, that's actually how it is with a lot of nct songs for me T_T but then, after that weird phase, i can't stop listening to it!! so addictive!!
also, kind of like how it is with movies, series, books..., i prefer songs that make me want to listen to them again and again instead of a beat that gets stuck in my head after 4 seconds and annoys me for the rest of the week xD
Owen from this channel once said that the best art makes you go "huh???.....COOL!" rather than "COOL!...."huh?" :D
@@ReacttotheK exactly xD also, thank you for these interviews, they are great :D
@@ReacttotheK Owen made me go "huh???.....COOL!"...
Same ✋
i love how alawn always praises kun, just shows how great of a person and producer kun is
Kudos to Alawn for participating in producing Punch and to NCT 127 for being able to pull it off. I think the song itself is so magical to listen to given how complex it is. Punch is a gem and we all don’t deserve it.
HAHHA
I love that Alawn and Kun are good friends and how they always comment on each others post and hype each other up but every time I see it I just see this meme about how Kun has an army of male producer simps commenting every time he posts lmao
Also aww I love hearing people comment on Kun's producing 🥺 Thank you for that
Am I the only one who had no problem remembering 'Punch'?
Anyways, among my very favorite songs. I agree, that pre-chorus & Bridge are magical (as often with SM), but in Punch, every section feels unique and interesting, which really elevates this one above most "solid SM songs", imho.
It's so interesting to hear that the chords in the chorus were added later, amazing.
Can't wait for more Alawn!!!
...And also more ReacttotheK interviews!
EEEY (we ballin)!
True!
it's right....Punch was so complex....that we must listen to it for many times....to catch the song
18:38 After Midnight was made three years ago woahh. And the fact that it's one of the best b-sides from Awaken the World album and is my on repeat since the beggining. Indeed genius
Some of y'all don't understand that punch was and still is a masterpiece 🤌💫
Thank you for working hard on NCT songs 🎵 💓
Over 250 tracks layered in "Punch" holy shit!!!!!!! I love that even he doesn't know why we can't remember it! 😂😂 This was such an elucidating interview!
punch literally carried me to 127 T__T
14:52 Alawn's interaction with Kun on instagram is so cuteeeee
*me seeing the thumbnail*
*'why cant we remember punch!?*
*me: have played the song a thousand of times enough to acoustically sing the whole song*
BAEKHYUN AND KAI !!! DIOSES ❤
Thanks for the interview, it was very interesting. I love After midnight, it was my favourite track of WayV's album 💚
That song is my fav too. For me its the best song from that WayV's album. All of them good, but this specific song stole my heart. So beautiful 😭❤️
18:25 yess it's one of my favs. It fits WayV so well (late night drive type of vibe) I would love to hear the demo version to it☺️😍
Yes Kun producer. I’m waiting for him to produce for artists and not just for fun
honestly, punch is a great workout song
Thank you for giving Kai such a great song.
I appreciate this video! Also, I’ve listened to Punch enough times that I can sing the entire song 😳
He did such a good job making mmmh
Punch is among most innovative songs in kpop
My favorite part of the channel are these interviews! I love to know more about the production and the composer it makes me appreciate the song even more. He seems so much passionate about his work and looks like a really cool person.
Thanks to produce Mmmh, this song fits so well to Kai. I can listen this song all day. Wonderful, wonderful!
This was so fun and interesting! Thank you! I just love your interviews so much! Especially because it's so revealing as to the process behind this phenomenon of KPOP!
Shout out to the editor 😂 love the editing and jokes 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Get you alone and Mmhhh are so awesome tho
After Midnight is an absolute favorite! But it has been 3 years ? Wow!
they're asking the real important questions here
After Midnight is a great example of how "SM boygroup" songs were in the past, it has both Shinee and Exo vibe!
hope to see producer Kun too!
PUNCH is like, my ultimate favorite song. I heard its instrumental in youtube and I became hooked as how it sounded so diffrently good... i dont know but that kind of music really takes me to space.
Alawn low key exposed his inner SM stan in the end of the interview.
complimenting kun ohmygod
Punch is really something else. One of the most unique I've ever heard especially the whispering and the shift in the supposed chorus on the end of the song. NCT 127's style and individualism really made it more catching
The opening to Punch reminded me of Tron Legacy for some reason, it sounds so futuristic unique, i was transported to another dimension with that and its truly amazing! Thank you Alawn for doing what you do best!
Great job on Mmmh Alawn. Its such a bop.
Also UMU this interview was so good! It flowed really well, and the editing was Top Tier
Honestly I think is the best interview with a kpop writer that you’ve ever done
I try to get better with each one!! Glad you liked 😊🙏
WayV After Midnight is of the best song in the WayV album. The song really suits for BGM for drive and journey. I hope Alawn will collab for tittle track of WayV
after midnight is one of my fav bsides of wayv along with domino and electric hearts omg T____T
i sincerely thank you so much for discussing Punch because its actually my favorite title track from the whole NCT. i love how catchy the song is, how every section contains plot twists, their vocals are so good it makes the whole song beyond my expectations. and the instrumental is so good i cant- the song is pure magic. its weird but in a very good way. its addicting for me. moreover, its so NCT. thank you for the masterpiece.
Behind song producing explanation like this makes me appreciate the songs more.
Thanks Umu for your work.
I become a kpop mulfan during quarantine because of your channel! To the extend of buying my fav albums 😂
The editing... amazing as always!!! Haha SM people partying to it!!!
I just want to say thank you so much for reacttothek to have a segment like this where we can see the production behind the song😭 truly the best channel❤
Thank you for another fun interview!!
Punch is actually one of my favorite NCT song! It is very new and unique. It's complex but iconic
i love these interviews!! The questions are so interesting and also big props for the editing for making the video more fun hahaha
Wonderful interview as always. Appreciate him sharing the process.
Thank you so much for this interview! it was super interesting as much as entertaining! This channel should go on forever, it's one of the best in all RUclips!!!
i love this interview thank you so much!
Thank you so much for these interviews! It's really nice to see the behind the scenes of music making. Can't wait for more stuff from you guys!!
Kai's Mmmh has been stuck in my head for five months. good song.
I’m so glad he mentioned the guitar in the bridge because it’s my favorite part and I low key wanted it to be in the entire song 😅
I am so glad i found this one specific video giving shout out to After Midnight sung by WayV. This one special song really help me sleep at night. Its really calming me down, thank you so much.❤️
love mmmh 💛 thank you for asking about it, it was cool to learn about it
It's almost 12 am here in the Philippines and I got work tommorow but your notification shows up. So nope, still not sleeping.
WALANG TULUGAN HAHAHA
He is so talented love all the songs and they do stick I mean do they ever
Mmmmh is so addcitive even after 2 years..its still fresh in my memory
THE KUN PRAISE AAAAAAAAAAA
thankyou for this!!!!
Wow I imagine the exact same thing at 19:24 whenever I listen to After Midnight
Great video, also, grats on the 700k milestone!
he is so well articulated about his craft. very interesting interview. congrats to you as well, umu! always asking the great questions. i loved this ❣
I love going in in the minds of artists.
I just came across this 😭 thank you for complimenting kun’s production 🧡
Didn't knew that i would finish watching this one. I mean I really learned a lot from this vid. Thank you for this!
A bell. With a tail. And a marimba.
Honestly the editing explains the terminology so well and so succinctly
Thankyou for giving Kai a masterpiece
This...is GOLD 🥇
Great interview with Alawn, thank you! Now, I'm waiting for your team's reaction to Kai's album and the latest Baekhun's album: Bambi :)
As a person who’s into learning music I love this channel and these interviews! I also remember one with Adrian Mckinnon. They inspire n teach me a lot I always go listen to the song again after their explanation
Interesting! So that's why Punch is so hard to remember
mmmh is a masterpiece. watching til it becomes a kpop classic!
Mmmh🖤🖤🖤
It’s so cool SM had a producing camp. That’s so new I never heard & a great opportunity for smaller producers to work with them & grow in their craft.
Love your questions that you ask. I like that companies in Kpop are having small artist with amazing talent.
the chords sound SOOOO GOOD
i love punch so much like i have never heard a song like that before, it is so unique 💚
Mmmh 🔥🧡🧡
Love those videos0
I really would love to see a reaction to Kai's 'Mmmh'.
I know it's not on the list, but it would be amazing.
I saw Jihoon here. I clicked quickly
Omg finaly I'll understand Punch effect!
Hmm i see "mmmh" in the title...
Did you reacted to it but havent uploaded yet (or still editing) or its included in you "songs we wont react" list ?
Yeah it’s included in her second playlist w songs they won’t be reacting to! :)
@@gomi2909 why?
@@luvyu2985 to quote from their Google doc, "If we aren't reacting to a song, it's either because not enough harmonically/melodically/texturally/rhythmically interesting things are happening in the song or we have heard songs do something similar before and therefore if we reacted to it, our comments would be repetitive, turn out pretty boring & be mostly centered around the visuals of the MV. As time passes, the musicians’ listening and understanding of music has developed. As they’ve heard more and more K-Pop songs, their tastes, opinions and expectations have changed. So we do our best to select songs that will cause the most interesting reactions from them.". But Ride or Die is currently in their list waiting to be voted on - so I actually have my fingers crossed that their voting panel passes that through~
@@gomi2909 thank you for explaining🍂
I love these interviews Umu, it's really interesting! Thankyouuuuu. These people are genius :D It would also be interesting to get an interview with Willie Weeks! He made music for Cravity, Monsta X, BTS, NCT etc. If you don't know him yet, pls look him up!!
Producers are just so attractive to me. Haha
I can always and will always remember what Punch sounds like! 😂 I bang that song 10 times a day when I’m driving
he's so talented
Yess he talked about Youha!
oh yes shout out to YOUHA!
go stream and yall!!!
MMMH!!!!
Thank you for praising Kun😍
4:18 this song is a bop!
Created Get You Alone, Alawn literally saves the world!!!
Yay
YES
