Hi, could you react to Moon Jongup's song called X.O.X? His new mini album 'Some' got some beautiful besides. He was the main dancer in his group. He was also the dancer MVP on peaktime.
This is definitely my favorite title track of theirs since Savage. AND WINTER??!! The looks, the vocals, the visuals, the presence was giving everything and more! When you see their music show stages for Drama, you can really tell they’re feeling it and enjoying the stage a lot more. Gigi’s dancing has improved and they’ve become a bit more synchronized.
the camera falling over at the bridge sums up how i feel abt the comeback LMFAOO like the song had me confused a bit but then THEIR ENERGY AND VOCALS made me love it sm! also the improvement in their choreo??? management doing their job well for once !
double back to back bridge, am I ascending to heaven? and Giselle singing in 2nd verse with those amazing vibratos also Karina's cry vocals omg and also aespa with top tier outro holy SM be doing amazing outro this days
I completely agree that this is Aespa’s best TT. One of the few good things that have come out of this post-LSM era. I think his vision for them was holding them back. I don’t love chanty chorus’s that are too repetitive I wish they had changed up the post-chorus. The chorus grows on me more in the context of live performances. NingNing and Winter’s presence/vocals and the overall styling gave me everything.
Not too much of a fan of the opening verse with all the onomatopoeia but love the bridge and the chorus has been stuck in my head since release. I find myself singing dramamama randomly. They said that this was actually supposed to be released instead of spicy, but they released spicy instead. I feel like some songs on my world would go better with this album and vice versa. This is their best performing title track so far as well as it’s in the top 100 on global Spotify and Apple Music rn.
the original lyrics of this according to LSM request was horrible (it's about planting tree in response to global warming). the girls was said to be crying after they knew the lyrics, and honestly, I would be crying too if I was them. thank God, they changed it and release Drama with this lyrics.
I love their improvement from debut era to now, drama era. And I love how they become more confident when appear or perform in front of cameras and people.
I 100% agree that this is their best title track yet. Idk if this is an opinion most fans share, but will I did like their other titles, it always felt like they were being held back. But this song… drama. I think it shows off a side of them we haven’t gotten to see before. Outside of Drama, I think Hot Air Balloon is my favorite track. But that aside, I think SM has done incredibly well considering they’ve flipped their entire production system on its head this year. If 3.0 is showing us all of this now… just a short while after implementing it, what are they gonna give us next year?
agreed. this is just the 6th months or even less after 3.0 fully implemented (they just started to fully implemented 3.0 around may if not later) and they gave us all of their current releases. I can say that it's definitely an improvements. changing a system that's been used for more than 3 decades isn't easy and definitely will take some time.
I liked "Spicy" more than "Drama" but I liked this more than "Girls." It definately has grown on me, especially watching the music stages. My favorite b-sides from the album are "Hot Air Balloon" and "You" because they kinda sound RV coded.
The video... babes... they never looked better, the gag was real. I am also not inlove with the song, taste wise, but I do still appreciate it, I think it’s good, the production is great. It’s the same as Savage, I can recognize the quality but it’s just not 100% for me. I like Spicy more, that song grew on me like crazy over the summer. But anyways, this was a SLAY for sureeee!

The background visual with them in the Red Middle Circle w/dancers on the side, that comes from 1960's Bolero by Maurice Bejart, you can see the ballet dance (famous by Maya Plisetskaya (Russian) and Sylvie Guillem (France) on YT
This is by far my favorite title track of theirs. Next level, purely for the jazzy breakdown in the middle of the song (because it’s THAT good) and then Savage.
I'm so happy to see them completely own the characters - sometimes I'm left wanting a bit more but here they embodied the whole theme 🙌 (also yes, @the rest of kpop - a bridge(of some sort) in a song should be essential, please give us lengthy songs back, tnx)
To me this on par with Pretty Savage, I say that as a Blink. This is a song that will come up in my head randomly for the foreseeable future. Iconic song, and iconic MV Man a 7 is though
First time i listen to it didn't vibe felt a bit jarring idk but after a while i watched a few reactions and listening to it without the video instead i enjoyed it more honestly great sing along car song for me. Similar feelings from chorus it felt a bit flat but i enjoyed the bits in between and the beats which always get me if they have great sound to the music. Think the music and bits inbetween carried it for me. It reminded me a lot of Megaverse stray kids in how i felt about it same reaction initially to hearing it love the beats and verses however the chorus felt mid/flat however will still sing along when it comes on and in my playlist. Kinda like those songs that just need to grow on u thats the vibe it feels but i think it was very well put together drama and loved the styling of it as well. :)
i was so excited for this cb based off the solo teasers. the mv n song did what they had to do. absolutely love the dark concept along w/ the physical albums, but one thing that really disappointed me was the fact that sm made the decision to throw in the unreleased singles they performed during their world tour, regardless of the sound n concept, to be the bsides of this mini. it completely breaks the immersion of the tone drama gives. theyre not bad songs, i love better things n hot air balloon but sm... they piss me off lmao. anyway glad you appreciated drama!
My favourite nov release 🔥🔥🔥 if king taeyeon doesn't snatch that later Also the only thing I want SM to do is make more melodic songs instead of adding too much rap-talk verses like You've got 4 vocalist (who can all sing) in a group 👀
I also didn't like the song much except for the chorus. I think the problem is the 'WAY' the words in the verses are placed/used. Irrespective of the meaning and the language, it doesn't give the satisfaction to a listener(for someone like me)when i hear them singing those phrases. I don't know how much of my perspective could be understood with this poor way of explaining and yeah that's what i think of the song 'Drama'. Talking about the music video, it was top notch and each one of them looked beautiful. Coming to their album songs, i would say, it didn't impact me much unlike their savage and spicy albums.

It’s so satisfying to see a group noticeably improve through their career
This is definitely my favorite title track of theirs since Savage. AND WINTER??!! The looks, the vocals, the visuals, the presence was giving everything and more!

Hard to decide who slayed the hardest in Drama they're all incredible
I'm not gonna lie, they had me gasping!!! Especially Winter??!! GIRL
That final chorus DID something to me
the camera falling over at the bridge sums up how i feel abt the comeback LMFAOO
like the song had me confused a bit but then THEIR ENERGY AND VOCALS made me love it sm! also the improvement in their choreo??? management doing their job well for once !
Hahaha for real!!
their stage presence improved so much over the years, its so nice to see
double back to back bridge, am I ascending to heaven? and Giselle singing in 2nd verse with those amazing vibratos also Karina's cry vocals omg
and also aespa with top tier outro holy SM be doing amazing outro this days
I said the exact same thing!!! THESE LOOKS?? UNTOUCHABLE
I completely agree that this is Aespa’s best TT. One of the few good things that have come out of this post-LSM era. I think his vision for them was holding them back.
I don’t love chanty chorus’s that are too repetitive I wish they had changed up the post-chorus. The chorus grows on me more in the context of live performances. NingNing and Winter’s presence/vocals and the overall styling gave me everything.
Yess I think the AI vibe was limiting them for sure. This is a great progression
Not too much of a fan of the opening verse with all the onomatopoeia but love the bridge and the chorus has been stuck in my head since release. I find myself singing dramamama randomly.

This is the aespa that I love - strong vocals and energy. MV elevated what was already a fun song. Karina and Giselle are underrated vocalists!
God yes, this is Winter's era. I just can't with this girl
4:37 SAY IT LOUDER but fr tho no one can beat sm at making the best bridges
SM is very good at making bridges.
I love their improvement from debut era to now, drama era. And I love how they become more confident when appear or perform in front of cameras and people.
nahhh they KILLED ittt❤️🔥 drama is definitely my fave release from them
I 100% agree that this is their best title track yet. Idk if this is an opinion most fans share, but will I did like their other titles, it always felt like they were being held back.

Not the camera falling savage to these Drama-mamas! Agree with the 7 for Drama ... thanks for the reaction Micah ! Much love 💚
Haha my poor phone! And thank you ❤️
What you said about it being Karina and friends at first makes so much sense woah. Because now you can count on all of them slaying in their own ways.
Aespa never seems Karina and friends though
I liked "Spicy" more than "Drama" but I liked this more than "Girls." It definately has grown on me, especially watching the music stages. My favorite b-sides from the album are "Hot Air Balloon" and "You" because they kinda sound RV coded.
right? hot air balloon is sooo reve festival coded
The video... babes... they never looked better, the gag was real. I am also not inlove with the song, taste wise, but I do still appreciate it, I think it’s good, the production is great.

yup yup Drama just became my fav tt from aespa, I love Karina's voice on the prechorus
Not liking don’t blink is wild. That is our cheetah girls anthem
Giselle is so gorgeous. I can't take my eyes on her.
the mv really elevates the song for me. the song is pretty good but has less impact without the visuals
This is a fricken banger!
This is by far my favorite title track of theirs. Next level, purely for the jazzy breakdown in the middle of the song (because it’s THAT good) and then Savage.
the camera couldnt handle their beauty
I'm so happy to see them completely own the characters - sometimes I'm left wanting a bit more but here they embodied the whole theme 🙌
(also yes, @the rest of kpop - a bridge(of some sort) in a song should be essential, please give us lengthy songs back, tnx)
Don't blink is so underrated :(
Real it's such a good song
Trick & trick with headphones is insane fr, I'd loooove if it had some hard hitting choreo
Phew! Your reaction to the Drama teaser had me worried, I’m glad you enjoyed the song and MV!
omg i LOVE short hair karina 😭
To me this on par with Pretty Savage, I say that as a Blink. This is a song that will come up in my head randomly for the foreseeable future. Iconic song, and iconic MV
Man a 7 is though
First time i listen to it didn't vibe felt a bit jarring idk but after a while i watched a few reactions and listening to it without the video instead i enjoyed it more honestly great sing along car song for me.

My favourite nov release 🔥🔥🔥 if king taeyeon doesn't snatch that later
Also the only thing I want SM to do is make more melodic songs instead of adding too much rap-talk verses like You've got 4 vocalist (who can all sing) in a group 👀
Giselle's voice is like one of the highlights of this song... Totally underrated but good
Your intro music is FIRE, would love to know who the artist and song is!
Fromis_9 attitude slowed
Drama reminds me of nct and ref velvet, but i think i wanted this ebergy from the red velvet songs🤔
Don’t blink is totally muffled on the studio version. It’s great live so I’m sad that sm made the studio version so calm
Kiss of life Please
u r like the only person out of 50+ album reactions i saw who didnt like DB jfyi
Ok
Okay. I might ruffle feathers, but Drama by Aesop is so much more satisfying than Pink Venom by Blackpink.
i need to know the intro song name?? it sounds soooo good
Fromis_9 - attitude slowed!
I also didn't like the song much except for the chorus. I think the problem is the 'WAY' the words in the verses are placed/used. Irrespective of the meaning and the language, it doesn't give the satisfaction to a listener(for someone like me)when i hear them singing those phrases.

Coming to their album songs, i would say, it didn't impact me much unlike their savage and spicy albums.
Oooo okay! I see what you mean.
don't blink was terrible and they wasted a good song that could've been used smh
