IMPORTANT NOTE: Our Jonghyun reaction will be posted as UNLISTED. Not publicly. We understand that all fans have different ways of healing and it may be too soon for some, and others need something like this to help them heal. For those who would like to see our reaction to his music, I will link the video to our social medias (twitter, facebook, tumblr and Instagram). For those who still think it is too soon, I will publicize the link in a few months. We are not filming/posting this reaction for the views or to romanticize his death. We want to celebrate him as an artist and musician, and for those who are ready, to shift focus to his compositions and musicianship rather then dwelling on his death. For those who still need a lot more time to mourn, we understand and send you all our love and support. If you need to reach out for help, here's a link to international hotlines: ibpf.org/resource/list-international-suicide-hotlines.
ReacttotheK I just want to thank you for being so considerate and genuine. I'm so thankful since a lot of RUclipsrs/media have been using him for views. LY ❤
You are doing the right thing and this makes me respect you even more. In the middle of so many channels making videos about him out of the blue, you legitimately are not only considering fans who are still mourning but also using any power existent to help others. Thank you.
really thank you for being so genuinely considerate of fans. this was such a genuine response response to this incident and I’m grateful you’re thinking of our best interests
That's very thoughtful and kind of you. I'm one of those who won't be able to watch him yet. I can't even see photos of him. I love your channel and reactions and so I'm glad I'll be able to come here without worrying about it. Thank you so much.
I think all things considered Galaxy didn't do badly. This group was in kind of a marketing trap. The label couldn't really hype up the song and book them on lots of goofy variety shows as it would have been seen as inappropriate. I think that hurt is commercial potential some. Also, the song is weighty, and doesn't really hit the K-pop sweet spots for airplay and streaming. It charted respectably on Gaon at 36. What was sadder was that "The Rain" which is maybe even a more beautiful song than "Galaxy" failed to chart on Gaon and had about one-third of the sales off "Galaxy." I really hope their next comeback does better commercially and on the charts. I think one thing that hurts this group is that the group, fans, and the company really don't know how to feel an proceed after such a tragedy. Can the group comeback with an upbeat tune like "Bad Girl" or "Pretty, Pretty" and not get skewered by netizens for being disrespectful by "having fun?" Are the members up for something more up tempo even that might be more commercial? Is their company equally flustered as to how to move forward with the group musically. Their company is about to debut a new mega girl group called Loona. I worry a bit that if this next comeback doesn't go well commercially for Ladies Code, that Polaris will just kind of move on and focus on Loona. I guess we will know more by summer as Ladies Code is due or their comeback by then according to rumors.
Ladies code’s accident was the biggest issue and made National News in South Korea. It was a big deal for entertainment companies and to the general public for car safety and physical well-being. Mental well-being not as much, but car safety sure skyrocketed for a while in Korea.
When Jarod spoke about how Bad Girl would set their style as their debut song and how excited he was to see how they would go from there I actually teared up cause I knew the truth 💔
It still pisses me off that their popularity went down after the whole debacle when their music definitely improved. I can see them disbanding soon unfortunately. Not saying that because of their loss that they deserve popularity, but they definitely deserve it based on their talent and music quality.
They are not under Polaris anymore so maybe Block Berry Creative is going to promote them better. I hope they can do well because I'm a really big fan of them and their music.
I am so glad Ladies' Code is finally being recognized for their music and how amazing their vocals are. Thank you for getting their music out there, I hope more people can become fans of them, they deserve all of the love.
I hope CMR will eventually react to "The Rain" and maybe by the time that rolls around, they will have a new comeback to react to as talk is they will be coming back in the first half of this year.
I’m so glad that you didn’t lead in with the accident. it hurt though and I sort of teared up seeing how excited Jarod was at Bad Girl and then being told about the accident. seeing their reactions to it actually made me tear up. I think Galaxy definitely has a very heavy feel to it. it’s such a light song but when you hear it it’s so heavy weighted and you see and feel a whole different view of the song and MV
I wonder what it was like for the composer writing "Galaxy?" Was it purposefully composed by someone for the group specifically or was it just a submission that got picked by the company/group because it felt right? If someone composed it purposefully, it's hard to imagine anyone doing a better job for a lead single for a group to re-debut with after such a tragedy. I wonder what recording it was like for he members? It had to be hard on them I imagine going into the studio as just a trio for the first time and laying down a track that would actually be distributed. I imagine they had been back in the studio practicing things before hand, but I would think recording this probably was a new case of it hitting home that their friends are gone.
It was worth the wait. This reaction vid was beautiful. Henry's breakdown of the musical elements for "Galaxy" was really thorough, and Peyton's reaction to the progressions and bass lines was priceless, you can really tell when the reactors love a song and respect it, so to say, because they are always so genuine. And thanks Umu for being so thoughtful when it comes to sensible topics within the industry and presenting the accident to the reactors in a non dramatic yet respectful manner. best regards, A thankful Lavely.
Ladies Code! My girls!! This comeback was the start of a trilogy they dubbed the "Healing Trilogy" not only as their healing process but as a way of helping others heal in whatever way that might mean to them. I am still waiting for the last and final installment of this trilogy :) I'm pretty sure the manager driving the car was arrested. I might be wrong but I remember a trial going on with him a while back. They kept warning him about the weather and he refused to slow down the car. He was speeding on a highway in very stormy weather which is never something anyone should do given the obvious consequences.
Yeah your right. He was going well over the speed limit at the time and was both charged and convicted of...manslaughter I think? Or negligence, something along those lines.
I think he eventually made some kind of financial settlement with the families of RiSe an EunB as well and as a result I think he avoided jail time or got a reduced sentence. While some managers treat their groups poorly, some are very close to their group. I suspect that in his case he will always feel the weight off this on him, so jail time may not have been needed. Depending on his age, these girls were likely similar to daughters or sisters to him. Killing someone that close to you accidentally will always weigh on you. In some ways he was doing what every other manager in the industry does on a daily basis at the behest of the bosses above them to get idols back and forth to their gigs on an impossibly tight timetable. In some ways, the ones who really should have been on trial is the CEO's of entertainment companies, broadcasters, promoters, advertisers, and fans that put money ahead of people or complain when a group is late to an event because the company is overbooking them. Sadly, little seems to have changed from this accident. Idols still often ride without their seat belts and gigs are still booked on impossible timetables.
For some reason I got teary watching after you explained the accident to them, even having followed them since debut. I just adore them & want their happiness. Hopefully they continue to make music they love or even just live as happily as possible.
I remember when the teaser for Bad Girl came out. I was replaing it over and over again. I knew that Ladies' Code will become one of my most favorite girl groups in kpop. They did. And they forever will be. After the accidnt I couldn't listen to their music for almost a year. The same problem I have now with SHINee and Jonghyun's songs. Thank you for this reaction and for mentioning of LC's wishes to be known as artists. They deserve to be known. All 5 of them. They are incredibly talented. ❤️ And thank you for thinking about the feelings of Jjong's fans with the upcoming reaction release. I will watch it when I'm ready. ❤️
Domi Domi I’m going through the Shinee listening withdrawals myself cause Jjong is my bias and I always get tearful when I think about him even though I was late to the Shinee train ya know
Omg gurl same! I'm a big fan since their debut, watching all the mvs and performances, but I just cannot bring myself to watch the older videos. In fact this is the first time I listen to bad girl after the tragedy 😢. But their new releases blows my mind. Love them!
Ladies Code a gift from 2gen kpop groups that almost ppl missed musically wise Instrumentally wise Vocal wise Aesthetic since their debut And the fact that they have level up their game since that happening LADIES CODE members are strong 😭😫💁 *Plays Im fine thank you*
astromoon they like a sort of late bloomer of 2nd gen kpop groups its because at that time they debuted many groups appeared, they are one of the strongest who debuted I remember they got nominated on MAMA best new girl group but lose Idk who win :)
yeah they are kind of like Apink where they are kind of too young to be 2nd gen. and too old to be 3rd gen, The best comparison is probably TVXQ and BoA, who are dubbed as generation 1.5 because they fit in neither catagories
hearing people compliment them makes me so happy because they're so talented and deserve so much more appreciation thank you for showing them to the reactors 💜
galaxy is a MASTERPIECE and so is all the « galaxy album ». this album is on a new whole level of creativity, « my flower » is actually one of my favorite songs korean songs
Yes!!! So true!! I actually was listening to a random playlist of songs I'd never heard before online and suddenly My Flower started playing and, before even knowing it was Ladies Code, I immediately fell in LOVE with the song! Since then, I tend to listen to that song whenever I feel overwhelmed (which is a lot because I struggle with multiple severe mental illnesses :( ) but it really helps because the song is so full of emotion, it just brings me such a catharsis..
I was waiting in anticipation for this reaction and it was so great. I'm sad we didn't get to see Gwen etc react as much to Galaxy since the vocals are so amazing on it, but I am sure editing only allows for the very best of the reactions.
I could see that. One could tell from Gwen's and Hugo's reactions to the news going into watching the video that they were kind of shook, so it's not surprising their reactions would have been restrained.
In the dance during the moment of silence in galaxy, sojung makes their logo sign, as if the goodbye is to rise and Eunbi 😢 Really appreciated this. You are all so great and respectful! 😊
YES. LADIES CODE they are actually one of my favourite girl group. Sojung voice is so powerful yet soft her voice has a resonance this is full yet thin. Her voice is distinct yet it doesn't overpower Ashley and Zuny's voice. All the members have good powerful technique. I cried so much when EunB died. I kept praying that eveyone else was ok. When EunB mum said Rise was gonna be ok because EunB was watching over her, I really believed it. The photos from the car crash was so sad especially seeing the plushie covered in mud
You guys absolutely need to react to their songs in both Myst3ry and Strang3r, each song talks about the different stages and feelings they went through the post-accident situation. It's truly an experience!
I thought 'Bad Girl' was an 'OK' song. Then, knowing nothing about this group, felt very sad on hearing on the loss of two of their members. Listened to 'Galaxy' and was blown away by the maturity of the composition and the feeling of sadness and loss combined with optimism, a new sound and a new start. The girls are very brave to continue and to put the emphasis on moving on from the horror they experienced and not to dwell on the past. There goes another few quid into the iTunes coffers.
I haven't seen Bad Girl MV in so long, I know the accident was a few years ago, but there are things i just can't bring myself to listen to or watch so I did cry a bit during this. I do thank you for not mentioning the accident until after they gave their thoughts on Bad Girl, I wanted to hear their thoughts without them knowing what happened & then tell them why Galaxy only had 3 members. I appreciate everyone's thoughts & them coming back after what happened showed their strength because I know it wasn't easy.
Thank you for the reaction and taking the time to check out LC!!! Lavelys appreciate all the feedback from the reactors 💗 P.S thank you for introducing the accident by following up with the reminder about how LC want to be seen as artists and not by the accident. ❤️
i didn’t think i would cry watching this but i ended up shedding tears. i unfortunately got into them the same year the accident happened and i still get emotional after all this time.
Ladies Code were such a new group when the accident happened I always forget that. They were around as long as Blackpink has been at this point in time. Still, they never fail to put out a good song. I've literally loved them all
"Bad Girl" will forever be one of my favorite debut releases ever. Powerful. Iconic. Unique. I also urge everybody to check out "Hate You", another one of my favorite Ladies' Code releases! It needs more love and attention.
THANK YOU for doing a reaction on Ladies Code. I'd love to see another reaction to "The Rain", my favorite track from their discography as well :) Sojung is one of the most underrated singers in Kpop and obviously has gone through a lot. Her solo work is also something to keep an eye on. She "debuted" last November with "Better than me" and featured on Jungkey's hidden gem "I dont' want". Don't miss on these great releases!!!
Pretty Pretty was what they were known for best so the drastic change from that to Galaxy was more contrasting and would have been a better song choice to show how much they changed artistically. Good reaction video though!
Say it for the people in the back. "Artists are indeed human." I couldn't agree more. Thank you introducing me to this group. I love their sound. Great videos! Enjoy them all!
Shelby Beeman ladies code is a great group im glad you’re finding them now~ they haven’t gotten a comeback since 2016 though :( if you’re looking for more music please check out LC‘s „sister“ group LOONA where each member gets a solo release~ ruclips.net/p/PLne78jOLoDnpvbVkONjUtZDDu7iFCDWxh
Ladie's Code will always have a special place in my heart. Been supporting them since say 1 and was crushed when I heard the news of the car crash. They deserve so much more and it's nice to see them get some recognition!
This is my favorite CMR video of all time and I find myself coming back to it often for many different reasons. Thank you reactors for your beautiful comments ❣️
Good reaction and overall analysis on Ladies Code, I already liked them before the accident but their style and musical direction improved a lot since. I'd also recommend listening to The Rain and all the b-sides in those mini-albums as they're all as good.
They were one of my favorite groups besides 2ne1 and Girl's Day. Every song that they came out with was soo good. My favorites were Hate You and So Wonderful. I remember that September like it was yesterday. My dad had told me while we were on a road trip that "a korean group" had gotten into a car accident. I was shocked that it was a group that I loved and I only cried when I got home cause I didn't think they would comprehend how it made me feel at the time. It's surely an awkward place. By the way, thanks a lot. I really felt like no one cared about their comeback Galaxy when I was in Korean and that they were underappreciated. It's amazing to see their music actually being recognized for how good it actually is. Can't wait for more Ladies Code reactions because they are soo amazing still.
I know this isn't one of the more viewed reaction, but I come back and rewatch this every few months because I love it so much! They have great comments, on both the music and the emotion in both songs. Not to mention how underated ladies code is. Thank you for this gift guys!
The Strang3r ep (which had remixes of all the songs from the Myst3ry single so both are worth it) was in my top 10 releases from 2016 and still is one of my favorite Kpop albums. It hurts my heart how much their music got ignored. 'Hate You' is a really good song/video too, for anyone not familiar with Ladies Code. I loved this reaction so much, thank you
Thank you Henry for such message you gave. It's really worth sharing to the cruel world not just in K-pop but to the whole wide world. And thank you @reacttothek I've been a fan of Ladies' Code around 2015 when they made a comeback and I appreciate that you explained well to the reactors and they saw a lot even the symbols that weren't that obvious and relate it to what happened to their career. I hope the girls can see this and make them appreciate their music and their group more. As well as the departed members, wherever they are.
I'm so proud of Laddie's Code and their new music. I'm also really proud to support a channel where the reactors are respectful but also provide their honest opinion. Thanks Umu!
You introduced this exactly how I hoped you would - letting them react to the first video, and then explaining the accident and the outcome of that accident. Thank you for that.
Even though the context of galaxy is tragic and horrible, I really think the use of context allowed everybody to think of the song and MV from a more heightened perspective. Using context in the future, like the place and state of the act during that release, might create more interesting analysis, I think. Idk, this might sound stupid, but I just realised how much it kind of added to the reactions????
I love all our your reactions! At first, and at some parts in-between, I couldn't really see/hear/perceive what you guys were, but as it went on, it get better to understand. I really feel like, enlightened almost- like you've opened up my eyes to a whole different world that I've only ever been at the edges of.
Thank you for taking the time to explain what they as a group went through and how it implicated their process of doing music now. They're such a great group that deserves the world for their ability to bounce back and make music again ❤❤❤
Thank you Classical Musician reactors for comments to Ladies Code, when they were 5 I was a huge fan of them and after the car accident obviously I keep supporting this group that I love too much. Your comment was very touching (I cry to think of eunB and rise) Thank you
I was just thinking about them and then i saw this video!!! I love ladies code so much and i wish others would see all the talent they have. Ive only been a stan for maybe over a year but i absolutely love them. It saddens me to see how alot of people just left after everything had happened and was over with. Im glad they had the courage to push through and continue the dreams they all started.
adding to my comment, i have never cried so hard from one of your reactions. It's because people besides us #lavelycode acknowledged our artists and I'm so proud of our Ladies and Eternal members #allthefeels
This was such a good video, I'm so happy they appreciated the girls more recent work. They are doing more artistic and mature music, I hope they comeback soon with more music like this and The Rain.
I've been waiting for this reaction forever. Ladies Code is hands down my favorite girl group, before and after their car accident. I was devastated when the accident happened, but I was glad to see them strengthen themselves and wish they could make more music soon! And Galaxy is hands down my favorite of their songs.
I was sitting here waiting and watching, already tearing up like "Oh God, when is she gonna tell them? How is she gonna explain? Oh I wonder how they'll react.." Then when she actually explained I was like, "Gah, I had just moved on and now I'm crying again, sh*t." But I love how she didn't tell them until AFTER they reacted to the first one. I wanna see them react to Rain and Kiss Kiss or Yeppeo Yeppeo (Pretty Pretty)
It's nice to see you guys enjoying Ladies Code. They are under Polaris which owns Blockberry Creative aka the company behind LOONA! So LOONA and Ladies Code are basically cousin groups.
I really enjoy everyone's reactions! As always, some people liked it and some didn't. Their reactions always make me think of new things that I haven't thought of or hadn't realized I thought of. It's always fun to see how all of their reactions are so quick and I like that it seems genuine! Like the reactors aren't trying too hard. ALSO props to Umu for how you run this channel! I appreciate the questions and especially how this video was organized.
Jonghyun new music video is coming out in less than an hour. I hope you can do a reaction to that too. I really liked what everyone had to say in this video and appreciated umu’s sensitivity. I’m looking forward to seeing the Jonghyun reaction video because shinee has always been my favourite group. EunB, RiSe, and Jonghyun will always be remembered.
I love ladies code's songs so much. Old or new they were all really good. I just really hope they have a comeback soon. People only supported them when they had their loss and then they completley forgot about them.
Ladies' Code ♡ OMG this was so intense for me, I loved it! By watching it I went through such a range of emotions, at first I was feeling very nervous of their reaction and I was afraid that they would not like Bad Girl, but their comments about it were generally nice. I felt a relief. When they were told about the accident I was feeling very sad, but then I knew they would love Galaxy, because it's such a great song with a wonderful concept and delicate aesthetics! ◇□○ By the end of the video I was crying of happiness, I'm really proud of my sweet girls! 😭 They don't deserve to be so underrated, they are so talented, brave and strong ♡ Hope we can get a comeback to finally close the Healing Trilogy ☆

ReacttotheK thanks a lot for reacting to Ladies Code))
"Artists are human and art is a process." I want to put this quote up on giant billboards all around Korea.
if fanbases can pay for billboards for members' birthdays, can't we make this happen as well?
YES
katie kawaii damn
tell that to sm rn with the way they're handling shinee
bruh what are they doing wrong w/ shinee
Galaxy was the time where the term comeback was really used appropriately
preach
Really appropriate
#StanLoona
I’m glad that my co-LOOΠ∆tic is also a Lavely. ❤
christine the marshmallow fuck u, STAN LADIES CODE
I'm still mad that "Galaxy" did not do well in Korea. It's great song.
Or The Rain :(
I’m korean and Galaxy did pretty well in Korea tho where did you get that
Ikr its like one of my fav songs
Sascha yeah study sold only 2k albums that’s so bad;;;;;(((
I think all things considered Galaxy didn't do badly. This group was in kind of a marketing trap. The label couldn't really hype up the song and book them on lots of goofy variety shows as it would have been seen as inappropriate. I think that hurt is commercial potential some.

I worry a bit that if this next comeback doesn't go well commercially for Ladies Code, that Polaris will just kind of move on and focus on Loona. I guess we will know more by summer as Ladies Code is due or their comeback by then according to rumors.
So glad you didn't lead in with the accident, really appreciated the musicians' take on the whole situation.
Mte
Yes, I noticed it too. Thank you, it's very important to fans.
Rest in peace EunB and Rise. Never forgotten❤️
*"Artists are human and art is a process."* ... Quote of the year. This guy has a wise mind.
SuperBlueRock K-POP's Top Ranking yesss
Ladies code’s accident was the biggest issue and made National News in South Korea. It was a big deal for entertainment companies and to the general public for car safety and physical well-being. Mental well-being not as much, but car safety sure skyrocketed for a while in Korea.
I think mental well being will be a topic for a while now though. At least I hope so because honestly they are under so much pressure! :'(
Lisa Chiang, I really hope so too :'(
This is when the 'Buckle up Unnie/Noona and Oppa/Hyung' hashtag movement started for whenever they had pictures of idols not wearing seatbelts right?
When Jarod spoke about how Bad Girl would set their style as their debut song and how excited he was to see how they would go from there I actually teared up cause I knew the truth 💔
Wings-to Fly The dramatic irony was difficult to watch. :(
who is jarod?
Kori Name
The cute guy u see right at the beginning of the video
thank you!! do you know the name of the long hair guy?
Kori Name
That's Henry ❤
It still pisses me off that their popularity went down after the whole debacle when their music definitely improved. I can see them disbanding soon unfortunately. Not saying that because of their loss that they deserve popularity, but they definitely deserve it based on their talent and music quality.
Tyler Your Neighborhood Gay IKR!! their recent songs are very good but people dont give them as much recognition now as before which ia very sad 😳😳
They are not under Polaris anymore so maybe Block Berry Creative is going to promote them better. I hope they can do well because I'm a really big fan of them and their music.
ElAbuelo Gohan since when did they leave polaris?
They’re still under polaris. It was a rumor that they were being under BBC.
ElAbuelo Gohan what do you mean that they’re under bcc?? Bcc is a sub company under Polaris but LC is under Polaris while Loona is under bcc
I am so glad Ladies' Code is finally being recognized for their music and how amazing their vocals are. Thank you for getting their music out there, I hope more people can become fans of them, they deserve all of the love.
I hope CMR will eventually react to "The Rain" and maybe by the time that rolls around, they will have a new comeback to react to as talk is they will be coming back in the first half of this year.

Love ladies code so much.. they used to be my favorite girl group I saw them live just 2 weeks before the accident happened I‘m still heartbroken :((
I hope you enjoyed their newest comeback song, it's funky again!!
It was worth the wait. This reaction vid was beautiful. Henry's breakdown of the musical elements for "Galaxy" was really thorough, and Peyton's reaction to the progressions and bass lines was priceless, you can really tell when the reactors love a song and respect it, so to say, because they are always so genuine.

Ladies Code! My girls!! This comeback was the start of a trilogy they dubbed the "Healing Trilogy" not only as their healing process but as a way of helping others heal in whatever way that might mean to them. I am still waiting for the last and final installment of this trilogy :)
I'm pretty sure the manager driving the car was arrested. I might be wrong but I remember a trial going on with him a while back. They kept warning him about the weather and he refused to slow down the car. He was speeding on a highway in very stormy weather which is never something anyone should do given the obvious consequences.
Liliana Jimenez I thought that the manager driving had been killed on impact, but I'm not completely sure...
Yeah your right. He was going well over the speed limit at the time and was both charged and convicted of...manslaughter I think? Or negligence, something along those lines.
He got arrested, he did not die
I think he eventually made some kind of financial settlement with the families of RiSe an EunB as well and as a result I think he avoided jail time or got a reduced sentence. While some managers treat their groups poorly, some are very close to their group. I suspect that in his case he will always feel the weight off this on him, so jail time may not have been needed. Depending on his age, these girls were likely similar to daughters or sisters to him. Killing someone that close to you accidentally will always weigh on you. In some ways he was doing what every other manager in the industry does on a daily basis at the behest of the bosses above them to get idols back and forth to their gigs on an impossibly tight timetable. In some ways, the ones who really should have been on trial is the CEO's of entertainment companies, broadcasters, promoters, advertisers, and fans that put money ahead of people or complain when a group is late to an event because the company is overbooking them. Sadly, little seems to have changed from this accident. Idols still often ride without their seat belts and gigs are still booked on impossible timetables.
Liliana Jimenez as much as I do wish “that” manager were to
*Rot In Hell*
I decided To forgive him for that.
For some reason I got teary watching after you explained the accident to them, even having followed them since debut. I just adore them & want their happiness. Hopefully they continue to make music they love or even just live as happily as possible.

They are incredibly talented. ❤️ And thank you for thinking about the feelings of Jjong's fans with the upcoming reaction release. I will watch it when I'm ready. ❤️
Domi Domi I’m going through the Shinee listening withdrawals myself cause Jjong is my bias and I always get tearful when I think about him even though I was late to the Shinee train ya know
😭 yeah I can’t listen to shinee either
Omg gurl same! I'm a big fan since their debut, watching all the mvs and performances, but I just cannot bring myself to watch the older videos. In fact this is the first time I listen to bad girl after the tragedy 😢. But their new releases blows my mind. Love them!
Ladies Code a gift from 2gen kpop groups that almost ppl missed musically wise
Instrumentally wise
Vocal wise
Aesthetic since their debut
And the fact that they have level up their game since that happening LADIES CODE members are strong 😭😫💁
*Plays Im fine thank you*
arent they a 3rd gen group?
*starts crying after hearing I'm Fine Thank You*
astromoon they like a sort of late bloomer of 2nd gen kpop groups its because at that time they debuted many groups appeared, they are one of the strongest who debuted I remember they got nominated on MAMA best new girl group but lose Idk who win :)
yeah they are kind of like Apink where they are kind of too young to be 2nd gen. and too old to be 3rd gen, The best comparison is probably TVXQ and BoA, who are dubbed as generation 1.5 because they fit in neither catagories
hearing people compliment them makes me so happy because they're so talented and deserve so much more appreciation thank you for showing them to the reactors 💜
galaxy is a MASTERPIECE and so is all the « galaxy album ». this album is on a new whole level of creativity, « my flower » is actually one of my favorite songs korean songs
Yes!!! So true!! I actually was listening to a random playlist of songs I'd never heard before online and suddenly My Flower started playing and, before even knowing it was Ladies Code, I immediately fell in LOVE with the song! Since then, I tend to listen to that song whenever I feel overwhelmed (which is a lot because I struggle with multiple severe mental illnesses :( ) but it really helps because the song is so full of emotion, it just brings me such a catharsis..
My Flower is so goooood... It has that sad but strong vibe
I was waiting in anticipation for this reaction and it was so great. I'm sad we didn't get to see Gwen etc react as much to Galaxy since the vocals are so amazing on it, but I am sure editing only allows for the very best of the reactions.
When Gwen reacts to sad things, she becomes quiet. She barely said a word :')
I could see that. One could tell from Gwen's and Hugo's reactions to the news going into watching the video that they were kind of shook, so it's not surprising their reactions would have been restrained.
ReacttotheK I somehow didn't see this comment until now. I figured as much. Oh well, I know my ears enjoy their harmonies :)
In the dance during the moment of silence in galaxy, sojung makes their logo sign, as if the goodbye is to rise and Eunbi 😢
Really appreciated this. You are all so great and respectful! 😊
YES. LADIES CODE they are actually one of my favourite girl group. Sojung voice is so powerful yet soft her voice has a resonance this is full yet thin. Her voice is distinct yet it doesn't overpower Ashley and Zuny's voice. All the members have good powerful technique. I cried so much when EunB died. I kept praying that eveyone else was ok. When EunB mum said Rise was gonna be ok because EunB was watching over her, I really believed it. The photos from the car crash was so sad especially seeing the plushie covered in mud
Banana plushie... it made me depressed...
You guys absolutely need to react to their songs in both Myst3ry and Strang3r, each song talks about the different stages and feelings they went through the post-accident situation. It's truly an experience!
I thought 'Bad Girl' was an 'OK' song. Then, knowing nothing about this group, felt very sad on hearing on the loss of two of their members. Listened to 'Galaxy' and was blown away by the maturity of the composition and the feeling of sadness and loss combined with optimism, a new sound and a new start. The girls are very brave to continue and to put the emphasis on moving on from the horror they experienced and not to dwell on the past. There goes another few quid into the iTunes coffers.
I see "Ladies Code" I click. I halfway wish you'd done "Pretty Pretty" and "The Rain" as the Before and After pair, but this was good.
Gary XHLC yes !!! “pretty pretty” was so bomb
@@hoseokandsansblackgf4676 pretty pretty is my favorite song
The Jonghyun description is so respectful and I'm so freaking glad about it. bless you guys!
I haven't seen Bad Girl MV in so long, I know the accident was a few years ago, but there are things i just can't bring myself to listen to or watch so I did cry a bit during this. I do thank you for not mentioning the accident until after they gave their thoughts on Bad Girl, I wanted to hear their thoughts without them knowing what happened & then tell them why Galaxy only had 3 members. I appreciate everyone's thoughts & them coming back after what happened showed their strength because I know it wasn't easy.
Thank you for the reaction and taking the time to check out LC!!! Lavelys appreciate all the feedback from the reactors 💗
P.S thank you for introducing the accident by following up with the reminder about how LC want to be seen as artists and not by the accident. ❤️
I will never forgive jaden jeong for cancelling the healing trilogy...the girls deserved so much better
Finallyyyy more people appreciating the beauty that is Galaxy.
No don't imma cry 😥😥😥
i didn’t think i would cry watching this but i ended up shedding tears. i unfortunately got into them the same year the accident happened and i still get emotional after all this time.
The album mist3ry and strang3r are such masterpieces, all tracks are great.
I have been waiting for this for so long oh my
Ya çok üzülüyorum ya
Finally!!
Edit : now, I'll wait for 9muses reaction
Bangun S Wijaya hurt locker!!!!! HOPEFULLY
Kris Javier well, based on the schedule, it'll be drama and love city.. anyway, we'll just have to wait until July if I'm not wrong..
I wish they'd react to sleepless nights or Wild but drama and Love city are good.
If they did figaro and then THEN love city or sleepless night would be amazing
Yeah.. I love sleepless night too.. it'd be amazing if they react to it.. or any older lineup songs like gun, news, or wild..
Ladies Code were such a new group when the accident happened I always forget that. They were around as long as Blackpink has been at this point in time. Still, they never fail to put out a good song. I've literally loved them all
Hey, galaxy is at 19th as one of the greatest kpop songs of the 2010s on billboard chart. Good for them.
"Bad Girl" will forever be one of my favorite debut releases ever.
Powerful. Iconic. Unique.
I also urge everybody to check out "Hate You", another one of my favorite Ladies' Code releases! It needs more love and attention.
THANK YOU for doing a reaction on Ladies Code. I'd love to see another reaction to "The Rain", my favorite track from their discography as well :)
Sojung is one of the most underrated singers in Kpop and obviously has gone through a lot. Her solo work is also something to keep an eye on. She "debuted" last November with "Better than me" and featured on Jungkey's hidden gem "I dont' want". Don't miss on these great releases!!!
I also hope for a "The Rain" reaction some day, I think it might be one of the best KPop songs written.
Pretty Pretty was what they were known for best so the drastic change from that to Galaxy was more contrasting and would have been a better song choice to show how much they changed artistically. Good reaction video though!
Say it for the people in the back. "Artists are indeed human." I couldn't agree more. Thank you introducing me to this group. I love their sound. Great videos! Enjoy them all!
Shelby Beeman ladies code is a great group im glad you’re finding them now~ they haven’t gotten a comeback since 2016 though :(
if you’re looking for more music please check out LC‘s „sister“ group LOONA where each member gets a solo release~
ruclips.net/p/PLne78jOLoDnpvbVkONjUtZDDu7iFCDWxh
I love LOONA! I've been listening to them since last year. I didn't know that it was their sister group. That's awesome! thank you for that :D
Ladie's Code will always have a special place in my heart. Been supporting them since say 1 and was crushed when I heard the news of the car crash. They deserve so much more and it's nice to see them get some recognition!
Ladies Code has some of the best vocals in the kpop industry. Their song Make Me Go Crazy is still my jam to this day.
This is my favorite CMR video of all time and I find myself coming back to it often for many different reasons. Thank you reactors for your beautiful comments ❣️
Good reaction and overall analysis on Ladies Code, I already liked them before the accident but their style and musical direction improved a lot since. I'd also recommend listening to The Rain and all the b-sides in those mini-albums as they're all as good.
I just want to thank LC for coming back and bringing for still bringing us good music. Nice reaction btw.
They were one of my favorite groups besides 2ne1 and Girl's Day. Every song that they came out with was soo good. My favorites were Hate You and So Wonderful. I remember that September like it was yesterday. My dad had told me while we were on a road trip that "a korean group" had gotten into a car accident. I was shocked that it was a group that I loved and I only cried when I got home cause I didn't think they would comprehend how it made me feel at the time. It's surely an awkward place. By the way, thanks a lot. I really felt like no one cared about their comeback Galaxy when I was in Korean and that they were underappreciated. It's amazing to see their music actually being recognized for how good it actually is. Can't wait for more Ladies Code reactions because they are soo amazing still.
YEs!!!! Thank you so much for this ladies' code reaction ;; this makes me so happy
I know this isn't one of the more viewed reaction, but I come back and rewatch this every few months because I love it so much! They have great comments, on both the music and the emotion in both songs. Not to mention how underated ladies code is. Thank you for this gift guys!
Ladies code is coming back please support them
I love Ladies Code so much. I've been waiting for this for forever, thank you so much. They're voices are so amazing and deserve more recognition.
I guess I have to wait patiently for the Stellar and 9muses reactions. I look forward to it.
The Strang3r ep (which had remixes of all the songs from the Myst3ry single so both are worth it) was in my top 10 releases from 2016 and still is one of my favorite Kpop albums. It hurts my heart how much their music got ignored. 'Hate You' is a really good song/video too, for anyone not familiar with Ladies Code.
I loved this reaction so much, thank you
Wow, Galaxy is amazing. This channel always introduces me to new groups and artists.
‘This girl’s voice is really deep. And sort of light too(?)’ glad our Sojung is getting love!
Thank you Henry for such message you gave. It's really worth sharing to the cruel world not just in K-pop but to the whole wide world. And thank you @reacttothek I've been a fan of Ladies' Code around 2015 when they made a comeback and I appreciate that you explained well to the reactors and they saw a lot even the symbols that weren't that obvious and relate it to what happened to their career. I hope the girls can see this and make them appreciate their music and their group more. As well as the departed members, wherever they are.
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH ever since Umu started this series i was recommending Ladies Code non stop and im sooo happy this video finnaly came out
I hope we get to see more from Ladies' Code some time soon. MYST3RY is one of my absolute favorite singles ever, and the group deserves so much love.
Ladies' Code is one of my favorite groups since ever and it makes me so mad people don't appreciate them enough STAN THEM THEY ARE JUST GREAT
Thank you for this! Ladies Code deserves the love and recognition. I hope people know more about their music because of this reaction. I love them!
I'm so proud of Laddie's Code and their new music. I'm also really proud to support a channel where the reactors are respectful but also provide their honest opinion. Thanks Umu!
I'm so happy you guys reacted to these songs! Galaxy is my favourite kpop song ever and I really appreciated their views on it
ladies code will forever be one of my favourite groups, thank you for reacting to them
You introduced this exactly how I hoped you would - letting them react to the first video, and then explaining the accident and the outcome of that accident. Thank you for that.
saw this in suggestions after i listened to Jonghyun's new album. the part where Umu talks about Rise and Eunb's death made me cry even more.
I'VE ASKED SO LONG FOR THIS OMG IM SO HAPPY
Actually i prefer The Rain rather than Galaxy
The Rain is sooooo good.
Me too
Same, thought I was the only one
The Rain has some deep mysterious feel than other kpop song that i know
Both bop but same
yes thank you i love ladies' code and i love this series and i've been anticipating this.
i need a love button for this. One of the best reactions i've seen in a long time.
I'm glad to see Ladies' Code getting this recognition. I wish people could realize how talented and amazing they are.
Even though the context of galaxy is tragic and horrible, I really think the use of context allowed everybody to think of the song and MV from a more heightened perspective. Using context in the future, like the place and state of the act during that release, might create more interesting analysis, I think. Idk, this might sound stupid, but I just realised how much it kind of added to the reactions????
I loved all of what Henry said it really made me tear up thank you for the video !
thank you soooo much for filming this!!
I still miss them so much they would’ve been so big ❤️
I love all our your reactions! At first, and at some parts in-between, I couldn't really see/hear/perceive what you guys were, but as it went on, it get better to understand. I really feel like, enlightened almost- like you've opened up my eyes to a whole different world that I've only ever been at the edges of.
Thank you for taking the time to explain what they as a group went through and how it implicated their process of doing music now. They're such a great group that deserves the world for their ability to bounce back and make music again ❤❤❤
Thank you Classical Musician reactors for comments to Ladies Code, when they were 5 I was a huge fan of them and after the car accident obviously I keep supporting this group that I love too much. Your comment was very touching (I cry to think of eunB and rise) Thank you
i stan ladies code since pretty pretty, so happy you guys reacted to them!
Myst3ry is the best K-Pop album, I've heard so far. Chaconne, in particular, is pure magic.
LADIES CODE GETTING THE RECOGNITION THEY DESERVE. ACTUAL QUEENS, Y'ALL. I WILL ALWAYS STAND BY THEM 👑👏
I was just thinking about them and then i saw this video!!! I love ladies code so much and i wish others would see all the talent they have. Ive only been a stan for maybe over a year but i absolutely love them. It saddens me to see how alot of people just left after everything had happened and was over with. Im glad they had the courage to push through and continue the dreams they all started.
adding to my comment, i have never cried so hard from one of your reactions. It's because people besides us #lavelycode acknowledged our artists and I'm so proud of our Ladies and Eternal members #allthefeels
I'VE BEEN REQUESTING LADIES' CODE FOR SO LONG, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL SO MUCH AHHHHH!!!
Ladies Code is illegally underrated it frustrates me so much they deserve more stream their songs peoplee
Lifewiththewild me tooo
Thank you soo much, i really waiting for this. Ladies code always gave me a goosebumps :')
This was such a good video, I'm so happy they appreciated the girls more recent work. They are doing more artistic and mature music, I hope they comeback soon with more music like this and The Rain.
I've been waiting for this reaction forever. Ladies Code is hands down my favorite girl group, before and after their car accident. I was devastated when the accident happened, but I was glad to see them strengthen themselves and wish they could make more music soon! And Galaxy is hands down my favorite of their songs.
I was sitting here waiting and watching, already tearing up like "Oh God, when is she gonna tell them? How is she gonna explain? Oh I wonder how they'll react.." Then when she actually explained I was like, "Gah, I had just moved on and now I'm crying again, sh*t." But I love how she didn't tell them until AFTER they reacted to the first one. I wanna see them react to Rain and Kiss Kiss or Yeppeo Yeppeo (Pretty Pretty)
It's nice to see you guys enjoying Ladies Code. They are under Polaris which owns Blockberry Creative aka the company behind LOONA! So LOONA and Ladies Code are basically cousin groups.
I WAS ASKING FOR THIS SO LONG AND FINALLY ITS HERE!💓✨🤧
OHMYGOD THANK U SO MUCH FOR THIS. PLEEEEASE DO ALL OF THEIR MVS. THEY ARE SOOO TALENTED !!
I really enjoy everyone's reactions! As always, some people liked it and some didn't. Their reactions always make me think of new things that I haven't thought of or hadn't realized I thought of. It's always fun to see how all of their reactions are so quick and I like that it seems genuine! Like the reactors aren't trying too hard.
ALSO props to Umu for how you run this channel! I appreciate the questions and especially how this video was organized.
The worst thing about the accident is that it happened on Sojung's birthday.
LADIES' CODE could've been one of the top girl groups in the industry if that goddamned accident never happened!! I'm still so mad and sad about it.
I saw this in my feed and immediately teared up
Jonghyun new music video is coming out in less than an hour. I hope you can do a reaction to that too. I really liked what everyone had to say in this video and appreciated umu’s sensitivity. I’m looking forward to seeing the Jonghyun reaction video because shinee has always been my favourite group. EunB, RiSe, and Jonghyun will always be remembered.
I love ladies code's songs so much. Old or new they were all really good. I just really hope they have a comeback soon. People only supported them when they had their loss and then they completley forgot about them.
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG AS A HARDCORE LAVELY I'M SO HAPPY
Omg thank youuuu I love my girls so so much, the reactions were great!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Ladies' Code ♡
OMG this was so intense for me, I loved it!
By watching it I went through such a range of emotions, at first I was feeling very nervous of their reaction and I was afraid that they would not like Bad Girl, but their comments about it were generally nice. I felt a relief.
When they were told about the accident I was feeling very sad, but then I knew they would love Galaxy, because it's such a great song with a wonderful concept and delicate aesthetics! ◇□○
By the end of the video I was crying of happiness, I'm really proud of my sweet girls! 😭 They don't deserve to be so underrated, they are so talented, brave and strong ♡
Hope we can get a comeback to finally close the Healing Trilogy ☆
