ooooh dean is something else, you need to react to more soooongs "and July ft Heize" "Bonnie & clyde", "bermuda triangle" "I'm Not Sorry" he's so talented
dean is like the frank ocean of k-r&b: dropped an iconic album, changed the tone in the industry and then disappeared. dean's first album is from 2016 and it's supposed to be a triology. he kept saying the second album would be released soon but here we are ahhaha he did realease a lot of great singles since then and founded his own label: you.will.knovv. hope you can react to tabber, who's part of his label once you finish this journey!
Can't believe it's your first time hearing these songs, but better late than never! You should definitely check more of Dean, I'd suggest Bonnie & Clyde, Put My Hands On You (ft. Anderson .Paak), Die 4 You, and especially Howling 404 (although there's a video with Dean for this song called 'Sometimes I hear howlin' in my head' but it sounds a bit different, I recommend listening to the studio version)
Also Dean is a feature for a lot of great songs by different artists, some of my favorites are: Heize - And July (Feat. DEAN) TAEYEON - Starlight (Feat. DEAN) SURAN - 1+1=0 (Feat. DEAN) And my most favorite: MILLIC - PARADISE (FEAT. FANXY CHILD) - Fanxy Child consists of Millic, Zico, Crush, Penomeco and Dean! What a great track
@@dokichamoy4965 I didn’t forget it, it’s just that RJ usually reacts to just 4 songs in one video so I named other four Dean’s songs I personally consider a must-listen in the first place
Dean has been around for a very long time even before his official debut working as an underground musician/producer. When he released his debut album he shocked the whole korean music industry But very soon as we all know toxicity hit him with many netizens claiming that his success came from his good looks and there was an incident where in an award show, while he was giving his acceptance speech people were screaming,cursing at him even telling him to d*e( you can look for the video online). As a fan of his i think thats when he started hating the industry and the way it treated him so he slowly removed himself from public apperances.. after sometime he released instagram which at the time became such a hit domestically and internationally for its message,video and because dean didn't show his face as much. As far as i remember he continued to release some tracks and work on some collabs but in around 2019 he disappeared.. his absence was very felt especially for his fans..it wasnt for the music but we were wondering if he was ok( in between obviously he had to serve to the military) until 2023 where he became active on insta again out of the blue hinting future releases..that was "die for you". A couple of features followed with fellow hip hop and rnb artists until 2024 where he released nasa and ctrl..now we are patiently waiting for him to share his new album. Sorry for the very long comment but if i had to share something at last is that according to fans dean maybe suffered from imposter syndrome thats why it takes him so much time to share something with us.. so please if you want to support him yall show only love and patience to him!!!
Pour Up was his debut, b4 he was just a producer, but all his music is so great... Zico is spelling his name in his tag, Z- I - CO, it's pronounced Zee-co in English, even though it's more like Ji-co in Korean since it's like his real name Jiho... You picked the right time to find Dean, so glad he started releasing music again last year after a very long break
I LOVE DEAN!!!. The gaeko animation in half moon was just for the video. He is part of the rap group dynamic duo inguess he couldnt be in the video. Zico is like zee-ko, Boy next door is under his company.
Bermuda triangle with Zico, Dean and crush Put your hands on me with Dean and Anderson paak Sorry with Dean Eric Ballinger BONNIE AND CLYDE!!!! I am excited for you to hear more
People in the comments recommending Crush and Heize yes….Zion.T for me also. I don’t want to be overwhelming and list them here but Deans collabs with Heize are a great Heize intro, and you could use them for the next Dean video! I think I’m the only person who’s mentioned Zion.T but I love his work as well. Great albums, all of them!!! I would just pick whatever the singles from their albums are I guess lol
loved your reaction, Dean is one of my favorite artists haha; here some other Dean songs you should check out!! I'm Not Sorry ft. Eric Bellinger I Love It ft. Dok2 Bonnie & Clyde DIE 4 YOU What 2 Do ft. Crush, Jeff Bernat NASA ft. FKJ
Omg, I can’t believe you're finally reacting to the king of k-rnb👑👑👑 Dean's voice is the definition of heaven and his discography doesn't contain a single bad song😍 He's also the king of collaborations, you literally have so many masterpieces to check out! You HAVE TO react to "Bonnie & Clyde", "I'm not sorry", "I love it" and "Chi-ka" - his collab with another amazing artist Tabber😍
his discography is phenomenal! you would love the rest of his music too, so you should definetely check out Bonnie & Clyde, I'm Not Sorry (ft. Eric Bellinger), Put My Hands On You (ft. Anderson Paak), what2do (ft. Crush x Jeff Bernat), dayfly (ft. Sully x Rad Museum), and And July by him and Heize!
D (Half Moon) had so much symbolism with feeling incomplete! While Dean was roaming outside during the nighttime, she was dealing with the breakup at home it seemed. She tried to distract herself with music that reminded her of them. Things would break, her nail polish would run out after only painting half her nail etc! She eventually returns to listening to music in a different format and cue the gaeko late night cartoons. She falls asleep during this time while Dean continues to wander around until daylight! ❤❤
I have listened to this song a lot since 2016. I NEVER once made the sonic connection to Sunday Morning by Maroon 5 until now. I love both of those songs!! I feel ashamed I never noticed 😂😂😂 as I said in my community post comment, this man has been on my replay for the year in some capacity nearly every year since 2016…still counting the days til he releases another album lol
jsjsjs welcome to the rabbit hole that is listening to Dean. We have all been there, the ooohh good song, i will add to the playlist (fastforward to adding his whole discography)... And then he puts one of the best albums in the whole korean music scenes, falls on an ig live down some stairs and procedes to dissapear for 7 years... that's the life of being a Dean fan i fear, but when he comes back he always put such incredible songs we can't stay mad at him. I also can't wait for you to discover his songs with Tabber, an artist from his label (he has done songs with Syd too, one of my favs 007 which he has a live version with Dean instead of Syd too), i bet you'll love him, he has a super interesting voice too that totally compliment's Dean's own (they are like oposites, Dean with that high tone and Tabber is a raspy low worf voice that goes perfectly together)!!
Ah!!! I’m so excited that you’re checking out Dean! Two of my favorite Korean artists is Dean and Crush, their voices just complement each other so well. One of my favorites is called what 2 do!
I see you're already flooded with K-rnb requests but if I could add just one besides Dean - it would definitely be Tabber. I discovered him around 3-4 years ago and I'm still hooked. Such a talented dude with a very attractive voice hehe. He has a great recent collaboration with Dean as well - it's called 'Chi-Ka'. I also recommend '2049', 'Baby Doll', and 'Being' (feat. Baek Yerin). I noticed you pick 4 songs for your videos usually, so yeah these would be my top-4 from Tabber. And of course, thank you for reacting to Dean! There's even more to discover from him ❤
So happy you’re getting into Dean because he’s criminally underrated & one of my favorite artists, esp as someone who grew up on 90s/2000s RnB. I’m also glad you also knew of Syd/The Internet before this reaction because they’re similarly underrated! These are my suggestions for songs of his to react to next: -Bonnie & Clyde (the first song of his I heard & tied w/ Half Moon as my fave from his 130 Mood: TRBL EP) -Put My Hands On You featuring Anderson .Paak -1+1=0 by Suran featuring Dean -넘어와 (Come Over) featuring Yerin Baek -I’m Not Sorry featuring Eric Bellinger
Dean is a whole vibe! Glad you finally get to check him out! Besides his solo stuff (which other people already recommended in other comments) I also suggest his several collabs with other great artists, such as "Bermuda Triangle" with Zico and Crush! Also: Dean, Crush, Zico, Penomeco and Millic all together have a "project group" called Fanxy Child, they released some stuff in the past, like "Paradise" (and it is also why you see these artists featuring so often in each other projects) and apparently they are hinting at future comebacks in 2025! Honestly the k-r&b scene is amazing!
The lore behind DEAN is so unique, too. Man came into the scene and totally took over. He was in so many collabs and famous OSTs, releasing hit after hit. One day, he was doing a livestream and fell down some stairs (he was okay btw). After that, he disappeared for like 5 years or something. Now he's back suddenly after all this time. He, ZICO, and Crush did a popular song called "Bermuda Triangle"; and he was also part of the group FANXY CHILD and performed one of my favorite songs called "Y" (lyrics are deep). FANXY CHILD consisted of Zico, Crush, Penomeco, Dean, Millic, and Stay Tuned(?). They are technically still together, but hadn't released anything since 2019.
half moon feels really nostalgic for some reason, like i can imagine it playing on mtv in the early 2000s and watching it on a box tv. it definitely has that same vibe that sunday morning has, just familiar and cozy.
Oh you are entering the krnb territory?!!! Dean is an amazing person to start with, and I would also recommend gemini, george, jooyoung, GSoul and THAMA
YEESSSSSSS DEAN!!! cant wait to see you check out more, i always love listening to his songs and voice. so good fr. excited to go down this journey with you!!
I love you sm for this reaction!!! Truly thank you! DEAN is a K-R&B staple and def one of the most recognized vocal kings in Korean music period! We miss his ass TOO bad!
Please react to Dean’s Colors live performance. Or any live performance. He’s an amazing artist 🥹 there isnt a song this man has made so far that i havnt loved 🥹✨
For recommendations: Hands on You is a still favorite of mine. He is/was also part of a collective called Club Eskimo that included Rad Museum, Miso (who's a writer on Love and Instagram), and Offonoff (Colde was a part of the duo). I think SAAY was also technically a part as they all toured together. But all of them inhabit this alt-rnb spectrum, if you ever want other artists to listen to, even it you don't react to them.
My interpretation of the visuals for the music video of instagram is how media just sort of seeps into your life until you're overwhelmed by it. His line "the more you know the more miserable you are" would be an example. I think it really shows how we're constantly aware of everything that's going on, seeing everything all the time and how that affects our mental health. In the same vein, seeing all these people on vacation, being happy, looking beautiful. You're flooded with all that feed and you become depressed comparing it to your life.
DEAN is one of my favorite artists of all time! Such a talented man! I highly recommend you listen to another artist, Tabber, he works a lot with DEAN!
no cause dean is one of my favorite artists ever. im so excited for you to hear more of his music!! definitely recommend listening to: im not sorry ft. eric bellinger ; bonnie & clyde ; chi-ka (collabed with tabber); sometimes i hear howling in my head; and die 4 you
I didn’t know this for years and was so shocked when I found out because Black Pearl was my favorite thing ever back in the day. But I love everything he touches so it makes sense lol
Gaeko is half of the hip hop group Dynamic Duo. They're kind of on par with Epik High (as well as others) as one of the first artists to make hip hop big in Korea
I wish I could listen to Dean again for the first time. With that being said 130 Mood is a no-skip album that you’re going to love!!!! Pleaseee react to it!!!!
Saw someone say “Once you discover DEAN there’s no turning back” which is true but there’s also A LOT of waiting/yearning😂 and I probably just added time until the next release😪
you pronounce zico as zeeco! :) (the hangul would be 지코, you can put it into a translator & listen to the pronunciation if you’re still unsure lol) also, you can absolutely look some vids up of him saying his own name but he pronounces his name as zi-a-co sometimes (especially in his music) just as a stylistic choice,,, so yeah the actual pronunciation is zee-co 😭
Dean had me in a chokehold back in 2016 😭He was the best thing that happened to KR&B. I hope you check out "Bonnie & Clyde," "I'm Not Sorry," and "I Love It." I also feel like you'd like another artist called Gemini. He's a bit underrated, but he makes amazing music!
DEAN is a great singer. I'd also recommend Tabber (Chi-Ka), Rad Museum, Colde (WA-R-R), offanoff (bath, gold), Maddox (Color Blind, Sleep, Lamp and there's the recent ATEEZ collab Call me anytime), Code Kunst (55, Rain Bird, Circle, Bad Bad). Lots of collabs in Korean hiphop/rnb, so enjoy the rabbit hole.
if you loved ‘Love’ and you wanna hear some amazing raw vocals, i recommend the Colors Show performance. it’s SO good. also, ‘I’m Not Sorry’, his debut song, and ‘Bonnie & Clyde’ are some of the ones you must know. His collabs with Tabber are super good as well. He honestly has no bad song so choose anything and you will like it anyway 😂. Dean is the best when it comes to krnb and arguably one of the best in the genre entirely. welcome to The Waiting Game (where we wait for and beg dean to release another album after almost 9 years ;-;)
Once you discover DEAN theres no turning back
True, taeyeon is the reason why i know dean and now im obsessed with this beautiful guy 😢😂
Big facts ❤
fr
Indeed. I can’t exactly remember what made me listen to him but it’s probably Zico. It’s Zico’s fault.
YES
ooooh dean is something else, you need to react to more soooongs
"and July ft Heize" "Bonnie & clyde", "bermuda triangle" "I'm Not Sorry"
he's so talented
Bonnie & Clyde has a chokehold on me haha
also dayfly!
omfg this line up exactly 😭 he needs to react
I’d also like to see him react to ‘Come Over’ feat Yerin Baek, ‘Put my hands on you’ feat Anderson Paak and ‘What 2 Do’ feat Crush & Jeff Bernat
i was just about to recommend those exact same songs
although there are so much more 🥲 i really hope he reacts to more
Now I need a DPR Live reaction
yes
Yeeesss
and ZionT
YES
Yesss
dean is literally THEE goat of krnb, he had the whole k industry by a chokehold in 2016-2018 and i need a FULL ALBUM NEOWWWWW
dean is like the frank ocean of k-r&b: dropped an iconic album, changed the tone in the industry and then disappeared.
dean's first album is from 2016 and it's supposed to be a triology. he kept saying the second album would be released soon but here we are ahhaha he did realease a lot of great singles since then and founded his own label: you.will.knovv.
hope you can react to tabber, who's part of his label once you finish this journey!
ok, but it's been 8? years now and I stand by the statement that Dean "Instagram" is the perfect song/MV. simply perfect.
fr, my fav song since i discovered it
You’ve gotta check out Crush, Colde, G.Soul 🥹 so happy to see K-r&b artists
YES I AGREE !
offonoff(Colde's duo) and Zion.t as well :)
Yess!!
Yessss!!!colde and offonoff
Omgg, no way you're going to react to k-rnb❤️. You need to check Crush songs too 🤩
Crush and Zion.T literally have no misses for me. Anything they touch turns to gold
yesss i second this
Can't believe it's your first time hearing these songs, but better late than never! You should definitely check more of Dean, I'd suggest Bonnie & Clyde, Put My Hands On You (ft. Anderson .Paak), Die 4 You, and especially Howling 404 (although there's a video with Dean for this song called 'Sometimes I hear howlin' in my head' but it sounds a bit different, I recommend listening to the studio version)

SURAN - 1+1=0 (Feat. DEAN)
And my most favorite:
MILLIC - PARADISE (FEAT. FANXY CHILD) - Fanxy Child consists of Millic, Zico, Crush, Penomeco and Dean! What a great track
u forgot dayfly!!!!! 😭

Put your hands on me with Dean and Anderson paak
Sorry with Dean Eric Ballinger
BONNIE AND CLYDE!!!! I am excited for you to hear more
Dean wrote and produced the song "Unfair" for the K-pop group EXO. Dean is also credited for writing the song "Black Pearl" for EXO
People in the comments recommending Crush and Heize yes….Zion.T for me also.

I think I’m the only person who’s mentioned Zion.T but I love his work as well. Great albums, all of them!!! I would just pick whatever the singles from their albums are I guess lol
His song with Anderson Paak is probably my favourite thing ever.
Also the red light album from Zion T is still one of my top 10 albums of all time
OMG YOU'RE CHECKING OUT DEANNNNN this is crazy i am so excited
I'm not sorry by Dean is a bop.
TURNING UP TURNING UP TOO BUSY TURNING UP TURNING UPPP
BABY DEAN?! This man was and still is all over my playlists. He went silent for a few years and only just came back within the last year or so

I'm Not Sorry ft. Eric Bellinger
I Love It ft. Dok2
Bonnie & Clyde
DIE 4 YOU
What 2 Do ft. Crush, Jeff Bernat

Now we're in K-RnB era?! I recommend PLT! Gaho, Villain, Jung Jin Woo, JUNE and Kei.G 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Yesss! Hocus Pocus, Igoholic and Blind r masterpieces
omg villain🔥
Imagine Dean with D.O and Baekhyun in a RnB track. PLEASE 😭😭😭😭😭
Omg, I can’t believe you're finally reacting to the king of k-rnb👑👑👑 Dean's voice is the definition of heaven and his discography doesn't contain a single bad song😍 He's also the king of collaborations, you literally have so many masterpieces to check out! You HAVE TO react to "Bonnie & Clyde", "I'm not sorry", "I love it" and "Chi-ka" - his collab with another amazing artist Tabber😍
Dean, Crush, Zico and Penomeco are actually a crew called Fanxy child, they have just a few songs but is REALLY good too🙏.
his discography is phenomenal! you would love the rest of his music too, so you should definetely check out Bonnie & Clyde, I'm Not Sorry (ft. Eric Bellinger), Put My Hands On You (ft. Anderson Paak), what2do (ft. Crush x Jeff Bernat), dayfly (ft. Sully x Rad Museum), and And July by him and Heize!

Ah!!! I’m so excited that you’re checking out Dean! Two of my favorite Korean artists is Dean and Crush, their voices just complement each other so well. One of my favorites is called what 2 do!

So happy you’re getting into Dean because he’s criminally underrated & one of my favorite artists, esp as someone who grew up on 90s/2000s RnB. I’m also glad you also knew of Syd/The Internet before this reaction because they’re similarly underrated!
These are my suggestions for songs of his to react to next:
-Bonnie & Clyde (the first song of his I heard & tied w/ Half Moon as my fave from his 130 Mood: TRBL EP)
-Put My Hands On You featuring Anderson .Paak
-1+1=0 by Suran featuring Dean
-넘어와 (Come Over) featuring Yerin Baek
-I’m Not Sorry featuring Eric Bellinger
Dean is a whole vibe! Glad you finally get to check him out! Besides his solo stuff (which other people already recommended in other comments) I also suggest his several collabs with other great artists, such as "Bermuda Triangle" with Zico and Crush!

you can never get sick of dean's music. man has never left my playlist. welcome to dean's world lol
To appreciate Dean's voice more, you must listen to him live! His vocals are so so so raw in every live.
Oh you are entering the krnb territory?!!! Dean is an amazing person to start with, and I would also recommend gemini, george, jooyoung, GSoul and THAMA
ahh Dean is a gem ! One of my favorite singers ever 🧡
Commenting again because his song Bonnie & Clyde changed lives!!!!
Sometimes I hear howling in my head - Dean are some of the best live vocals you will hear

omg please check out tabber next. Both dean and tabber are at the top for my favorite k-rnb artists
Dean is one of my all time favorite music artists
Yeaaaah. You need to listen to more of him, he's your vibe!
For recommendations: Hands on You is a still favorite of mine.
He is/was also part of a collective called Club Eskimo that included Rad Museum, Miso (who's a writer on Love and Instagram), and Offonoff (Colde was a part of the duo). I think SAAY was also technically a part as they all toured together. But all of them inhabit this alt-rnb spectrum, if you ever want other artists to listen to, even it you don't react to them.

Omg finally I've been waiting for this😊 thank you for reacting to the r&b prince of asia
Zico song Bermuda triangle with crush and DEAN goes hard
DEAN is one of my favorite artists of all time! Such a talented man! I highly recommend you listen to another artist, Tabber, he works a lot with DEAN!

He composed a song for Exo ❤
I didn’t know this for years and was so shocked when I found out because Black Pearl was my favorite thing ever back in the day. But I love everything he touches so it makes sense lol
He made songs for VIXX and f(x) too
Oh love Dean! I’d also recommend his remix of Dante’s Creek by They. Zico is one of my favourites as well, what a great time. :)
MY favorite krnb artist ever!
Pls keep reacting to more DEAN, Tabber and DPR
"Dean's voice is smooth like butter!" We all say in unison!
Yes more DEAN please!! 💯
Some more Krnb artist you should check out are Gsoul, Sik-k, Ph-1, Punchnello, tabber, Penomeco, Gaho and Villain!
Once you hear Dean your music standard will never be the same, trust me on this

Gaeko is half of the hip hop group Dynamic Duo. They're kind of on par with Epik High (as well as others) as one of the first artists to make hip hop big in Korea
This is the best moment OF MY LIFE ❤ I love DEAN SO MUCH 💕 great video 😎
Oh yesss. DEAN!
I wish I could listen to Dean again for the first time. With that being said 130 Mood is a no-skip album that you’re going to love!!!! Pleaseee react to it!!!!
LOVE MENTIONED FINALLLYYYY
Saw someone say “Once you discover DEAN there’s no turning back” which is true but there’s also A LOT of waiting/yearning😂 and I probably just added time until the next release😪
you pronounce zico as zeeco! :) (the hangul would be 지코, you can put it into a translator & listen to the pronunciation if you’re still unsure lol)
also, you can absolutely look some vids up of him saying his own name but he pronounces his name as zi-a-co sometimes (especially in his music) just as a stylistic choice,,, so yeah the actual pronunciation is zee-co 😭
DAMN I STARTED WATCHING AS SOON AS HE SAID HIS OUTRO 😭😭
Yes! More Deam!
Thank u for introducing me to new Dean music. The only songs I know was ;Pour up' & 'Bonnie & Clyd'
OMG here we goooo finally!!!
since everyone is recommending very nice K-Rnb artist i recommend Penomeco,Moon Sujin,Fanxy Child,Sik-K and some of Jay Park's RnB songs
You’ll lose your mind over Bonnie & Clyde and Die 4 you sjsjsjsjs I just KNOW!
Love does have that switch-up in the actual song too! I hope you check out Dean Love Colours version too. Its all him!!!
DEAN and ZICO have a hiphop group called FANXY CHILD alongside CRUSH and PENOMECO. I hope you check them out soon, too! No regrets once you did! ^^
Dean had me in a chokehold back in 2016 😭He was the best thing that happened to KR&B. I hope you check out "Bonnie & Clyde," "I'm Not Sorry," and "I Love It." I also feel like you'd like another artist called Gemini. He's a bit underrated, but he makes amazing music!
Check out dayfly ft. Sulli &rad museum!
DEAN is a great singer. I'd also recommend Tabber (Chi-Ka), Rad Museum, Colde (WA-R-R), offanoff (bath, gold), Maddox (Color Blind, Sleep, Lamp and there's the recent ATEEZ collab Call me anytime), Code Kunst (55, Rain Bird, Circle, Bad Bad). Lots of collabs in Korean hiphop/rnb, so enjoy the rabbit hole.
if you loved ‘Love’ and you wanna hear some amazing raw vocals, i recommend the Colors Show performance. it’s SO good. also, ‘I’m Not Sorry’, his debut song, and ‘Bonnie & Clyde’ are some of the ones you must know. His collabs with Tabber are super good as well. He honestly has no bad song so choose anything and you will like it anyway 😂. Dean is the best when it comes to krnb and arguably one of the best in the genre entirely. welcome to The Waiting Game (where we wait for and beg dean to release another album after almost 9 years ;-;)
U need to hear dean red museum and Sulli -dayfly
ohh are we entering the k-r&nb era??!! YES PLEASE
MY BABY! His voice is smooth like butter. Have you ever checked out TABBER before?
We need a part 2!! Please react to "sometimes i hear howlin' in my head"
Love love Dean!!!!
OMG I LOVE THE INTERNET I DIDN'T KNOW HE'S DID A SONG WITH THEM
"'I'm sad "Sometimes I hear howling in my head" by dean wasn't in this reaction. His voice is just too good, right? super talented. He's unique.
dean also has a collab song with taeyeon called 'starlight'. and you should also check dean song called ' what 2 do. awesome musicality.
