Chungha is always just oozing with charisma in every stage she performs. She’s just naturally born with it. Her facial expressions, dancing, and everything else. Chunga is born to be a slayer.
Hongin, the male dance partner with Chungha, actually has a hearing impairment. He has to count the beats all in his head while dancing and he's so impressive! Super super talented
@@formoftherapy an emperor/empress rules over an Empire, which corresponds to various countries all united under the authority of one main hegemonic country that protects them in exchange (basically ) but they make this country super powerful. Queen just rules one or more countries but that are not United (for example queen Mary Stuart ruled over France and Scotland)
Rian, Simeez and Jiwon Shin are the choreographers of this song. They tend to work with Chungha a lot. You can see them on Stay Tonight's choreo as dancers as well.
Chungha is literally getting better with every comeback,, she was amazing last year w gotta go and snapping, but stay tonight and play are just superior to me,,
chungha has to be one of the most charismatic soloists like you can't tell me you look at her performing and you don't have a MASSIVE smile on your face the second she appears
The video was shot by Rigend. Film who did God's Menu (Stray Kids) and Fiesta (Iz*One), and of course, they did Stay Tonight. Simple sets, but killer videos.
@@kribyy7784 it was but the sets were fairly simple and straightforward compared to other videos because it was mostly glamour and performance shots (it's one of my favourites of the year along with the others i mentioned)... you compare the sets in Fiesta with Rigend working on large scale budget like in Lay's Lit and you'll see what they do with large scale sets. It's not the complexity of the sets that makes the video, it's the creativity behind it!
I guess this is my favorite Chungha song by far, I also love the fact that the her part dancing with Hongin is inspired on Samba, cause as a brazilian, i'm so happy hahaha Changmo's part feels like a part that they put so she can "breathe" cause both song and choreo are so energetic... but I really really love it, cause I love songs that remind me of festivals and this kind of things
Sério que eles se inspiraram em samba? que foda mano, eu pensei que era uma coisa mais inspirada em salsa ou tango, uma coisa mais da Espanha, sabe? De qualquer forma a música é incrível e a coreografia tbm
@@dessapfortun sério, tem no especial Starry Night no canal da Chungha, se eu não me engano é no ep. 2, o Hongin fala que é um Samba mais de competição esportiva de dança, e ainda cita o Brasil como o país onde o samba é mais conhecido ♡♡♡
I think it's kinda weird because (I think) it was supposed to be a Spain inspired Video&Music but in my opinion the music is more latin than Spanish and also they were some parts where the dance it was more like Samba instead of Flamenco. So I think it's a combination of Spain and Latin America Elements because they are a lot of things that are similar in Spain and Latin America, like some outfits, dances and music rhythms or elements.
Song of the year, play always cheers me up and makes me want to dance.I can't ever skip it when it comes up on shuffle. The feature I can take it or leave it but this video is probably my fav of the year as well, with the festival and carnivale themes. Plus I love the ballroom duo dance parts.
My favorite scene is her with the flower dress on the flower trampoline? That scene, I really wanted to see more of it, even though there was lot. She looked amazing PD does a great job when pausing the M/V😂 There are rarely any weird pauses
Renia in one of the scenes of her mv a flower circle can be seen, so bc of that a lot of desi called her out bc of cultural appropriation bc of it’s similarity to a “pookalam” (i’m sorry idk much abt this) but apparently it’s not. the flower circle in her music video is a festival spanish rug used in fiestas and it isn’t cultural appropriation, so the persons who called her out apologized for the false claim about that particular scene but she (chungha) already got hate from many of stan twt.
I also feel like the festival vibe didn't make this summer song any cliche. The momentum of the song keeps boosting but Chungha's gentle voice didn't make it too draining. It's a perfect summer song with energy and freshness on the same time.
Completely disagree with your point about Changmo's feature. He was very much involved in the production of this song, he was part of the writing & composing team and the lyrics themselves in his verse had callbacks to Chungha's previous tracks. Him not being part of the video was most likely due to the pandemic and/or other schedules he already had. Also, he is featuring in the song its not proposed as "Chungha & Changmo" its "Chungha featuring Changmo" so of course he was only going to have a small part. Regardless, as I said he had a huge part to play in both composing and writing and has worked with Chungha on various different occasions and I think you are discrediting his work by saying it doesn't feel genuine.
Angjele I agree and I appreciate that you said it respectfully . There are a ton of different factors that could have prevented him from being there in person
I also like Stay Tonight more because is the kind of bass I prefer. But Play is sooo good too 10/10 Her actual comeback is gonna be mind blowing. Stan talent, stan CHUNGHA.
I relate to you, Stay Tonight is more of my personal style, but Play feels bigger and more ambitious, no wonder they choose this one to promote it. I'm totally not prepared to the actual comeback 😂
Plus i think stay tonight's choreo also kind of added to the reason they couldnt promote it live ( even tho they could've adjusted it 👀) but omg im so scared for the actual comeback cause the pre releases are actual bops!
The single best word to describe Chungha is "dynamic". Everything about her is constantly fresh and in motion: her vocals, her movements, her facial expressions, absolutely all of it is dynamic. No one else does it like her.
I think what really sells this video to me are Chung Ha's expressions. Her smiles, smirks, everything... it all feels authentic. She's just having a great time there, dancing with her friends, that's what it feels like. That samba dance break, though, that's just a beautiful sequence there.
Totally agree with you about her little badass choreo moments!! The way she shows all these aspects of herself -- being adorable, cute, stereotypically girly, and then also passionate, strong, and badass -- and the way they also capture it is amazing and just makes chungha seem like such a well-rounded artist and a real person.
I usually hate throw away rap features in Kpop songs because they really don’t add anything, but I genuinely love the feature in play. I like the sound of it and the way the beat changes and I don’t think it was too short. I feel like it integrates into the song really well and i LOVE the dance for that part. On one stage she’s holding red fabric like a matador when she dances that part and it’s fantastic.
it's amazing how she does a great job choreographing Chungha's dances with different and distinctive styles..... chungha is amazing and the choreographers are amazing
I loved that you mentioned the guy who danced the break with ChungHa. That is Kim Hongin, from a previous survival talent show called BOYS24. He had already called lots of attention to the fact he can sing and dance despite his hearing impairment back then, and now he is again being commented and I'm so happy for it :)
CHUNG HA ONCE SAID , in an award event that , dont call Back up dancer as an "back up" , just call em , dancer ! and in this mv everithing was proved .. no " back up dancer" was blurred .. they share equal face focus like the main artist get.. (back up dancer often get blurred to get focus on the main artist more)... but even though that happend , she still stand out to me :) ahh i forget to metion in a past few week ago there was an article that saying that she was bought branded purse for her dancing team .. :)
I really enjoyed your discussion about the first scene, it's my favorite set because of the yellow and teal color scheme but I know more about the set thanks to you PD ;)
I'm surprised you feel that about the Changmo feature. Actually a lot of people liked it, I myself liked it a lot. She promoted this song on music shows for a week and so the length of his feature I think was just right. Tho I do think it's pretty short if we're talking in terms of the song but I don't think it felt tacked on. The transition was rather extremely smooth and Changmo's tone was perfect for this song. On a technical perspective, the feature was perfect, but I can understand if you feel so. I think maybe it's gonna take some listens for you to appreciate more.
same, it really grows on you the more you listen to the point where whenever he comes on in the song, you instantly want to jam out & dance to it. also, the lyrics in his part referencing chungha's past song titles made it that much more impactful that he's not in the mv with the dance & facial expressions she makes during his part. it wouldn't be the same if she sang them, you know?
@@bellatrala4892 yeah, absolutely everytime his part comes I start doing the same moves like chungha does. Especially the way his verse fades out while chungha comes in singing the prechorus is so good. The reference in lyrics immediately made me smile too. Also if you see the dance demo ver you'll notice that the song was intended to have this rap from the very beginning. The whole second verse was empty waiting for Changmo's recording and when they received it then they proceeded to complete the choreo. Honestly his rap verse is hip, slightly aggressive yet sensual and smooth which says a lot about the rap section. They did a great job with this collab.
Honestly, Changmo x Chungha is such a cultural reset,,, they are both such icons. For me, Changmo added his own flavour to the song. I can see why people think that his verse wasn't needed but somehow I think that the song would sound kinda empty without him. Also,,, Yall should check out Changmo's Maestro if you haven't already(it was released in 2016),,, also Meteor is an amazing song
Chungha is an incredible artist and the concepts always fit her so much!!! Speaking about featuring song...if you know the song from Max where Chungha is featured she has like 2 lines at the end and does adlibs throughout the song so sad honestly..so I agree about the "feels obligated" featuring..:o
I love your reactions but I can't afford to become a patreon but I'd love to hear what you thought about Road to Kingdom. If possible would you be make a short video giving your thoughts on the performances, groups and winner. Loved the reaction as usual, keep up the good work
I have to say this absolutely the song in my play list. I have been learning to it again and again since i watched this music video. Every time i listen to it, i feel like i am participating a carnival, so excited and happy
I really like the Changmo feature. I think it's a great break from the song. It gives us some time to breathe before Chungha takes our breathe away again with this nonstopping song. I also love the choreo for Changmo's part and the style Changmo used!
She’s literally my idol and one of my role models in many ways. Her visuals, personality, dance skills, vocals, and literally everything else. How to be ChungHa. She’s perfect to me. I’m so in love with her
God you have no clue how many times I've been camping out in your channel for a PLAY reaction. Thank you so much for another in depth review. She's got an amazing team producing her MV's ever since Rollercoaster era. She's always a visual treat. She's always worked with the same awesome choreographers and dancers who are her friends. And this Latin vibe just seems to be a thing right now.
Play has probably become my favorite Chungha song. It’s so good and listening to it gives me energy and happy vibes. I don’t usually like summery songs but she did so well. I really appreciate that she keeps trying new things, different concepts, dance styles and genres but is still able to keep the Chungha trademark😍
The visuals of this MV are stunning just like all of her music videos. I really love it. The choreography's amazing and this song showcase her incredible vocals. Even though at first I wasn't really feeling the song I still was excited to watch the live performances because of how great Chung Ha delivers her performances, and then after watching the live stages I fell in love with the song. That's why I love Chung Ha so much, her stage presence can make me like a song that at first I didn't really like it.
Chungha has a dedicated choreographer. Her name is Rian and she has lots of videos about how she makes choreography on her RUclips channel Rian's Jobby Hobby.
I can't help but always think of Mamamoo's Egoistic. Not saying anything about plagiarism or copying (before people attack me lmao), only that they have the same vibe (soundwise) and I always end up just hearing Egoistic in my head without fail lol.
PD RIGEND IS THE PROD HOUSE AGAIN FOR THIS Theyre so good i cant like they make things so expensive when its clearly in a tight small budget but also brings expensive output even more with high budget
She is a matador (Spain), with a bull in a car (Italian), dancing Tango (Argentina) and a bit of Salsa (pacific america) with dancers doing capoeira (Brazil). They could have focus on one style and culture but clearly no one notices it because it is alla the same.
Her album is going to be pure madness! SHE GAVE US STAY TONIGHT, SHE GAVE US PLAY! AND Come N Goes! I literally don't know how the the title is going to be.
Its hilarious that every time chungha has a comeback I like it more than the last. I always say each comeback "she can't top this. " how.... How... HOW?!?!
Who else thinks that Play is SUCH A BETTER pre-release than HYLT? I used to like BP but their comebacks have so repetitive and nonsensical (like HYLT’s lyrics for me) that I grew them out. CHUNGHA IS SUCH A QUEEN THO WHY DOES IT SEEM LIKE SHES UNDERRATED
Chicken Wings i always think that it’s better to keep my hands off the keyboard if I got nothing nice to say, but like come on, HYLT was total nonsense lyric wise, they’re obviously not using the skill set that BP members have, and its repetitive. PLAY IS SUCH A BOP AND CHUNG HA IS A QUEEN AND YET PEOPLE STILL SLEEP ON HER 😭
Muhammad Ikhmal Bin Rosali if that’s your opinion okay. Personally, I’d prefer my songs to have an actual chorus than just a chant of the title though.
Chungha is so interesting to me , I was attracted to her charisma and dancing skills at first , I've liked her since ioi days ,.... comparing my current musical taste with my past days , I don't like the generic type of songs AT ALL , but I still root for chungha, I still love her songs SO MUCH , her songs are pretty generic , but so well produced ...I've never disliked any of her title tracks to date , and that's only on Chungha ... the songs are produced for her and her only , they fit the choreographies she does SO well , and also her vocals , she's great and people who work with her , are really amazing !

She has catchy songs
Oh mahh, this is so straightforward

Isn't his part "Girl, I thought you were my Remedy"?
he referenced a lot of her songs
He also referenced stay tonight and gotta go in his part
YES I was curious if someone had told him already but yes i was excited to see another collab
finally i was waiting for you PD she is no longer a queen SHE IS A FREAKING EMPRESS

Listening party of chungha? Her b song in either snapping or gotta go album “Chica” gives similar vibes and powerful tones
O Chica I love that song I thought that it was a song that had an mv with it
Play is one of the best songs this year
The live performances were absolutely phenomenal
This is the 1st Chung Ha song that i genuinely like, it's on my playlist & on repeat.
"That man is living his best life"
True
God you have no clue how many times I've been camping out in your channel for a PLAY reaction. Thank you so much for another in depth review. She's got an amazing team producing her MV's ever since Rollercoaster era. She's always a visual treat. She's always worked with the same awesome choreographers and dancers who are her friends. And this Latin vibe just seems to be a thing right now.
Play has probably become my favorite Chungha song. It’s so good and listening to it gives me energy and happy vibes. I don’t usually like summery songs but she did so well. I really appreciate that she keeps trying new things, different concepts, dance styles and genres but is still able to keep the Chungha trademark😍
The visuals of this MV are stunning just like all of her music videos. I really love it. The choreography's amazing and this song showcase her incredible vocals. Even though at first I wasn't really feeling the song I still was excited to watch the live performances because of how great Chung Ha delivers her performances, and then after watching the live stages I fell in love with the song. That's why I love Chung Ha so much, her stage presence can make me like a song that at first I didn't really like it.
Chungha has a dedicated choreographer. Her name is Rian and she has lots of videos about how she makes choreography on her RUclips channel Rian's Jobby Hobby.
'that man is living his best live' really sends
IT'S FINALLY HERE I JUST BEGAN WATCHING THIS AND I'M ON MY WAY TO WATCH IT NOW
i love this type of reaction actually.Bigger screen for the MV while watching PD nim reaction...❤️❤️
I can't help but always think of Mamamoo's Egoistic. Not saying anything about plagiarism or copying (before people attack me lmao), only that they have the same vibe (soundwise) and I always end up just hearing Egoistic in my head without fail lol.
RIGEND.FILM!!!! IS INSANE
Love her. She's awesome!
Perfect looks, personality, great songs and MV's
Yeaah!! weeks wait for this!
Gotta love pd waxing poetic on lighting!
항상 재밌게 보고있어요 응원합니다
Thankyou for thissss. This song deserves a lot of appreciation.
there only has been growth to loving this song each time i hear it
She is the best..love your reaction..👏👏👏
PD RIGEND IS THE PROD HOUSE AGAIN FOR THIS
Theyre so good i cant like they make things so expensive when its clearly in a tight small budget but also brings expensive output even more with high budget
She is a matador (Spain), with a bull in a car (Italian), dancing Tango (Argentina) and a bit of Salsa (pacific america) with dancers doing capoeira (Brazil). They could have focus on one style and culture but clearly no one notices it because it is alla the same.
She is amazing😍
I was waiting for this reaction omg
I WAS WAITING!! THANK YOUU!
this is more like 25 mins of pd praising chungha , AS WE ALLLL SHOULD 😍
this is my fav chungha song and mv tbh its soo good, i didnt like stay tonight that much but play is a bop i listen to it every single day on repeat
Her album is going to be pure madness! SHE GAVE US STAY TONIGHT, SHE GAVE US PLAY! AND Come N Goes! I literally don't know how the the title is going to be.
Its hilarious that every time chungha has a comeback I like it more than the last. I always say each comeback "she can't top this. " how.... How... HOW?!?!
Love u PDnim!!!!!!
PD i've been waiting for thisssss! Thanksss 💞💞
THANK YOU I'VE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS VIDEO!!
Who else thinks that Play is SUCH A BETTER pre-release than HYLT? I used to like BP but their comebacks have so repetitive and nonsensical (like HYLT’s lyrics for me) that I grew them out. CHUNGHA IS SUCH A QUEEN THO WHY DOES IT SEEM LIKE SHES UNDERRATED
Right?!!! I feel like people still sleep on her
Chicken Wings i always think that it’s better to keep my hands off the keyboard if I got nothing nice to say, but like come on, HYLT was total nonsense lyric wise, they’re obviously not using the skill set that BP members have, and its repetitive. PLAY IS SUCH A BOP AND CHUNG HA IS A QUEEN AND YET PEOPLE STILL SLEEP ON HER 😭
@@sourgirl7501 no both bops period
Muhammad Ikhmal Bin Rosali if that’s your opinion okay. Personally, I’d prefer my songs to have an actual chorus than just a chant of the title though.
Toxic fans are somehow gonna make you the villains if you even constructively say something with a comparison💀
Chungha is so interesting to me , I was attracted to her charisma and dancing skills at first , I've liked her since ioi days ,.... comparing my current musical taste with my past days , I don't like the generic type of songs AT ALL , but I still root for chungha, I still love her songs SO MUCH , her songs are pretty generic , but so well produced ...I've never disliked any of her title tracks to date , and that's only on Chungha ... the songs are produced for her and her only , they fit the choreographies she does SO well , and also her vocals , she's great and people who work with her , are really amazing !
unpopular opinion: this is chungha's best track
Fun fact the guy dancing with chungha is from kpop group boys24
Finally can watch PD reacts to ChungHa's Play, wait for long time 😂
(Sorry for my poor English...
Chungha is so extra for no goddamn reason... i love this woman 😍
I had been waiting for your reaction to chungha. I was so curious about what u think about this song since u r always objective and never biased
I think it's kinda weird because (I think) it was supposed to be a Spain inspired Video&Music but in my opinion the music is more latin than Spanish and also they were some parts where the dance it was more like Samba instead of Flamenco. So I think it's a combination of Spain and Latin America Elements because they are a lot of things that are similar in Spain and Latin America, like some outfits, dances and music rhythms or elements.
"That man is living his best life."
He is not wrong.
this song has been *played on repeat* ever since it came out.
THAT MAN IS LIVING HIS BEST LIFE
