Red Velvet's Love is the way pls, bcs it's my favourite song from Reve Festival Day 2, I wonder who the male voice and also is there harmonization too in the demo? And about Red Dress where is the idea of the song came from?
overdose, mr. mr., kick it, don't call me.. THAT'S SICKKKKKK!!! the songs she wrote are sooooo LIT. the songs she wrote literally represents KPop incredibly well
True has the American flavor of USA a music lee so man actually said Kpop was a reference from American music. It is reflected world wide witch streaks to everyone world wide
just as is was chikk’s first release in kpop, mr mr was my first kpop song before even knowing what kpop was, the song had a it factor and had me in a grip for years. thank you for this masterpiece
i cant fathom how much this woman influenced my life without me knowing. Actually crazy. She captured the reason why I love k-pop. The unpredictable creative type. much love!
Kenzie is such a legend. Chikk, being called Kenzie, was thrilled by it. She's got such a fun personality, and it's so nice she's down to talk more about her other works with SM
good to know (horrible, awful to know) that SM and co. mess around with not only the artists' checks, but the songwriters' and producers' too. thank you Chikk for fighting to be paid for your vocals (even though she should not have ever had to, like come on now...) and thank you Umu for posting this interview!!!!
i'm in kpop BECAUSE of the sm sound that chikk most likely and most definitely helped shape. the unpredictability that i don't often get in western music, the mixing of genres, the complete subversion of everything that is "conventional" in the musical sense, like CHIKK. thank YOU for ALL of the work that you've done in the kpop scene. you should be insanely proud of your resume and everything you've accomplished.
Ok WAIT. HOLD THE FUCK UP. Recollection by BoA is my favorite kpop song ever, and when I saw she wrote the top line I genuinely screamed. I haven't even watched the video and I already worship this woman.
This interview is so great-- two enthusiastic music experts discussing the development of a song without dumbing it down. You are SUCH a good interviewer and really pulled out some wonderful insights from Chikk. She's amazing. Thank you both!
Thank you, Chikk, for being one of the many black songwriters that got me into SM's artists and music. I wish more kpop fans understood how vital black songwriters/producers (and black people tbh) have been elemental in kpop's rise from the very beginning and have been responsible for SM's biggest hits.
THE BLACK KENZIE! I cackled too hard at that. And glad she was such a good sport about the mistake. Great vid! Glad she addressed the importance of getting paid what you are worth is SO IMPORTANT, especially given what's happening with writers of a different type stateside. Chikk's work is fantastic, but equally impressive is her honesty about the struggle. And AGAIN kudos to Umu/RttK! It's a testament to your interviewing skills and genuine love for the craft that you always such great responses.
i desperately need this kinda of information on how some of f(x)’s records were written…. rum pum pum pum, red light and all the hidden bside gems in between
For a lot of sones, even though Mr. Mr. Era wasn't as successful as its predecessor but it was able to be its own beautiful thing that topped the charts, it is for a lot of us a special era that we treasure so much. 🩵 I kinda feel emotional listening to Chikk's backstory. 💗 Thank you for giving one of my most cherished SNSD songs 😭 Happy 10 years Chikk 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶
she’s so talented, i didnt realize she wrote so many hits! i heard the mr mr demo and was like wow, she’s good, but light me up is one of my favorite rv songs and it is such a different vibe. she’s amazing
When hearing the story about her not getting paid for her vocals, I also thought "Who do you think you are, Mr. Mr." was so fitting. No artist should fight for their work.
This was such a FANTASTIC interview thank you so much for your hard work and introducing us to the fantastically talented Rodnae! What a Queen! Shout out to the editors too. Mr Mr is STILL my favourite SNSD song! LOVE the questions you asked too, shows how much you love the music and as another musician I got EVERYTHING and MORE! I hope she continues to write for SM because the results are amazing.
this is my first time ever seeing this talented and gorgeous woman and omg she's so charismatic, AND on top of that, she writes legendary songs, like how come i didn't know anything about her?? thank you umu for introducing general public to all these amazing individuals
This is fun interview, and just realize most of the song she made is the one that I love from each group! I dunno why but it have very nostalgic melodies, on each one of it, very easy listening compare to other kpop song, so I really love it, thank you so much! 🥰
Really hoped this was longer. I always want to know more about these songs camps that sm does bcus as far as i know sm is the first company to do that. So happy that alot of producer get more room and another ground to use their talent and as it was sm beginning of working w producer. I really want to hear more about kenzie bcus ive heard everyone speak so highly of her and her talent
I would definitely recommend checking out our other interviews with Moonshine and Adrian Mckinnon for more K-Pop songwriting camp and Kenzie related content. Moonshine + Adrian write really often with Kenzie and talk about her in almost all the interviews I record with them :) Here's a playlist you can check out: ruclips.net/p/PLFw_XZtkCVMOo1FUYhm_-KcKclQytfh7y
Oh my goodness it was so much more than I expected, she's such a delight!! And the interviewer was so sensitive and well spoken that it got me impressed! Too bad she had to go through the delay in payment in the first years but thank God she went through all of that with a fighting spirit. Her passion about her craft is contagious!! I cannot thank you enough ReactotheK, for such amazing video. Thank you thank you thank you!!
This was so cool! You hear producer names in the kpop sphere like Yoo Youngjin, Kenzie, Teddy, Shinsadong Tiger etc. so much but Chikk deserves to be recognized right alongside them. Mr Mr is such a good song!
It's great to see and hear "the talent behind the talent" ,so to speak. .Mister mister is epic, of course..but I DO love "Green Light" (and many other SNSD 'b-sides")...its "very SNSD", as its exuberant which fits the girls perfectly.. Thank you Umu for this interview, and thank you Chikk Bell for providing SNSD with such great songs. Many thanks.
she technically contributes a lot in shaping kpop. cz those fckn incredible songs she wrote are soooooooo🔥🔥🔥 not only unique and innovative, but they're also HIT HARD LIKE... DAMN. THIS IS KPOP!
omgggg so many of her works are my favs!!!! what an amazing journey/stories from Chikk! Thank you for the years of fighting for a fair ask, and for continuously producing bops.
Wow, this gorgeous woman is behind some of the most classic kpop songs! I had no idea! Overdose is one of my favorite Exo songs. Glad to see a writer getting her accolades after so long in the industry.
As interesting as the discussion gets around Mr. Mr. for SONEs, Mr. Mr. will always be my second favorite title track from GG. Thanks Chikk for giving GG this song 👍🏽
These interviews are trully great and I am glad you, Umu, do them! SNSD songs are my early years of Kpop when I got into it, so I did enjoy this interview. Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I absolutely love mr mr so thank you for writing this song!! Also it’s absolutely terrible that they didn’t pay u for ur vocals initially but I’m glad u fought for that!! Ur amazing ❤ also thank you umu for these great interviews!
2:32 Jessica during The Boys era 😍 I'm glad that ReactToTheK is one of those Kpop community out there, who still acknowledge the existence and impact of SNSD as 9 members 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
wait, hold up at 6:11 said that your voice is still in the chorus meanwhile in the final version, on every chorus breakdown video, the chorus was mostly done by Taengsic's voice 🤔
@@ReacttotheK I'm one of the SNSD vocal analysis creators and I've always thought Chikk was present instead of Ylva Dimberg (who is credited) -- can't wait to update everyone!
OMG, thank you so much for blessing us with this amazing song. There’s just a different type of vibe when it comes to K-pop that Western music doesn’t have. Much more experimental in sound.
THNAK YHOUUUU I LOVED MrMr when they did that comeback and to this day its still one of my fave GG songs!! The outfits, the song, the MV.. just chef kissss!!!
Wow these interviews are such an amazing insight into a genre that we listen and like so much. I hope this channel gets 1mil soon, I'm waiting and waiting.. it's a jewel among so many aimless reaction channels. Must be extremely hard to keep afloat and bring to the table all you guys have in mind as actual content. Umu stay healthy and hope all of you guys will receive the best of best on the long run. Love ya ❤💎
Which song should we interview Chikk about next? Leave your requests below!!!
SHINee's Don't Call Me would be super interesting.
Definitely interested in her NCT songs!!
Red velvet, aespa
Red Velvet's Love is the way pls, bcs it's my favourite song from Reve Festival Day 2, I wonder who the male voice and also is there harmonization too in the demo? And about Red Dress where is the idea of the song came from?
Please ask about “Don’t Call Me”! Truly a Bop of Bops, would love to hear the approach to the last chorus
overdose, mr. mr., kick it, don't call me.. THAT'S SICKKKKKK!!! the songs she wrote are sooooo LIT. the songs she wrote literally represents KPop incredibly well
True has the American flavor of USA a music lee so man actually said Kpop was a reference from American music. It is reflected world wide witch streaks to everyone world wide
6:52 “When I went to Korea, I left with two #1s in my first trip.”
That is legendary!
just as is was chikk’s first release in kpop, mr mr was my first kpop song before even knowing what kpop was, the song had a it factor and had me in a grip for years. thank you for this masterpiece
Wow what a beautiful story!! I love we are connected ❤
Taeyeon's "why " is insanely goo i really wander how they come out with all these melodies
I agreeee
I wished the demo would leak 😭

Mr Mr was the first Girls Generation comeback I experienced. I loved the song right away. They need to make more songs with those epic key changes
Sorry for experiencing the departure of Jessica at that time.
Truly a classic record for us KPop fans! What a fun interview :D
Thank you so much!!

Please bring Chikk back to discuss Don’t Call Me!
I want to hear her talk about Exo's Overdose *and* Monster because their chord progressions match up pretty well in a lot of places.
This is the best music reaction channel on RUclips. No one else really dives into writing and theory like this channel does.
