YES! I’m a fairly new K-pop Stan and there haven’t been and groups I’ve stanned from debut yet so I’m glad they’re the ones. I feel like they’re gonna be big, but even if they aren’t they at least have one fan here
The perfect Big 3 + HYBE trainees. Belle’s vocal just like SM, Haneul having stage presence like HYBE, Natty having great dance skills like JYP and Julie having the perfect english and rap like YG.
Julie explained the last part and that’s her favorite part we all know that Natty came from Solo and now she’s in a Group called Kiss of Life, Julie said that she will no longer be a solo because she has a group now. And that’s makes me emotional 😭
The lyrics "burned my neverland" really hits home. Especially for those who were forced to grow up early due to circumstances. Big hugs for everyone who burned their neverlands and forced their inner child to hide.
37:53 That was indeed a whistle note. Belle does them and you can actually hear her do the live as well. She really got them SM vocals considering she was a SM trainee
I also cried at the part of "burn my neverland" at that one line "becoming an adult isn't easy, and even though is not, you still wanted to grow up, and it hurts but we gotta go through it just for surviving" like no sugarcoat, straight up truth..i remember i cried on the car listening lyrics per lyrics back then..KISS OF LIFE YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUSSS
So basically kiss of life is those teenagers turning adult..days full of expectation from parents, environment pressure and the need to survive without the helps of anyone..I FELT THATTTT
yes, that's why their name is KISS OF LIFE. their concept is talking about every piece of life. A Kiss is not always in a good moment, sometimes it hurts, make us cry. but at the end, we want a happy kiss on our life.
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS REACTION OH MY GOD Kiss of Life is just on another level, they're just completely out of the box and they go above and beyond the usual kpop standard for girl groups. I'm so grateful for KIOF for making a debut like this, it's eye opening and it's just aghh
Not the line "leave the hometown" and Natty showed up. It hits differently knowing she'd been chasing her dream that long since Mixnine here in Korea, which I could assume she already leave Thai, her hometown for 10+ years.
the reason kiss of life music is so refreshing is because it is mature women music made by mature women. all the members were 18 and over at debut. most other 4th gen gg cant pull of this music is because they have minors on the group, so they cant show or sing about more mature themes. the current trend of Y2K focuses more on the high school during that time period, where as kiss of life Y2K spin is looking at from a young adult r&b type of sound and look
Sugarcoat is one of my favorite songs of the year and this is one of the best debuts we've had in some time. I can't wait to see what they do in the future.
So Kiss of Life is going to be MY first proper discovery of a brand new K-Pop group since a friend of mine got me hooked on the genre a couple years ago. I then introduced these girls to another friend of mine (who's REALLY into K-Pop) and we're SUPER excited to see where this group goes from here. Love this group. PERFECT way to debut in my opinion. Different tastes, genres, styles, and the way you spoke about the Solos and both MVs matching up so nicely from a videography and storybuilding perspective.... beautiful!!!
OMG FINALLY THANK YOU FOR REACTING COCO!! ❤️ It's one of the few releases this year that genuinely impressed me and one of my fave debuts EVER like with this the line separating the quality between big company groups and nugu groups are starting to get thinner and i love it. Still can't forgive s2 for disbanding hot issue before they turned a year old and I don't even know how they managed to get their hands on these trainees but they better not eff it up this time around. I want nothing but for them to succeed cuz they're already one of my fave groups ever.
i have watched so many reaction vids to their mvs and i feel like you were the only one who didn't simplify julie's character in her mv as "party girl" and, in fact, i think you had the most thoughtful takes on their entire storyline, so thank you for that.
"I just wanted to listen to good music; I didn't want to feel" ROFL I think we all know you well enough now to know that you know full well just how quickly and deeply music breaks us and opens us up. Yeah, Belle's M/V is rough, so are Natty's and Julie's, in different ways, and Haneul's role when they all come together and she's being stalked. Love the storytelling throughout, though, and so glad you went through them in order like many of us did (those of us who don't have to consider filming for an audience LOL).
oh, also, don't know if this has been said yet, but Belle won the 'Proud Korean Grand Prize' in the composer category at the '2023 Korea Best Brand Awards' on July 15, 2023 so just 15 days ago, and literally 10 days after debut, so obviously a result of her work outside of and before KIOF, but she is No Joke in Korean songwriting right now (Miyeon's solo album and Le Sserafim's Unforgiven just to name a few of her other credits)
what's cool about Natty is that she's never catered as a main vocalist material, but here she is devouring half (dare I even say 3/4) of 4th gen vocalists
It's been a while since Stayc that no group made me curious and happy, I want more, more and more! I've followed Natty since JYP, her being in this group already gave me goosebumps. Best debut ever
OMG I wasn't expecting a marathon but I'm so glad you decided to check them out! I love their concept and sound so much. It pleases me how they center more on a mature storyline with that coming-of-age feel to it. Bye My Neverland resonates with me so much on a personal level. I like all of their releases so far.
Same reaction too! I love their message so much, it feel so good to be heard and seen, to be validated through music again. back then when I was young and lost, I relate so much to BTS's Most Beautiful Moments in Life and Wings because it resonates with me. It feels good to feel that resonance again with Kiss of Life.
Kiss of Life is probably the most perfect debut I've seen. Before them I would have said Purple Kiss, as they also had some hype pre-releases that made you notice them. But I think giving all their members solos that showcased their strengths and making MVs of the whole album (with an overarching narrative) was so genius. Expensive, but worth it. Like Purple Kiss, this is a group I can see being super talented, and I HOPE people won't sleep on them (either group if we're being honest). Aside from (G)I-DLE's comeback this year, for me I feel that Kiss of Life has been the highlight of 2023 so far.
apparently, "Belle composed her debut solo song in Kiss of Life, “Countdown (BELLE Solo),” in her second year of high school, in two sessions with the songwriting group Royal Dive. The song was originally called “Getdown” and an English demo exists, but the title and lyrics were changed for the Korean release. [Kiss of Life M/V Making Documentary Ep. 1, August 24, 2023]" from kpop answers so im guessing that wow, she really had a lot of emotions there.
I just realize that in the beginning of "shhh" when they're performing in the stage and its like film in the pov of natty and like how julie explained the ending of their mv that natty is not solo anymore becuz she got her girls with her now.
Natty is carrying her dream with her all the time, (the radio 😅) practicing time after time, from place to place, feel lonely 😢 sometimes she fails, but never gives up...when it comes to Natty story.. i cry😢😢 สู้ๆ นะคะ นัตตี้ ลูก
No but Belle MV is so relatable to a lot of people. Actually all of them. I think Kiss of Life aimed to release something closest to reality. Also Belle is a songwriter and producer even before debut. She has credit on Unforgiven, 2 Miyeon songs and Purple kiss song. Also ofc their own tittle track and her Solo. Also Thank u for the Reaction ❤
Omg I cry along with you 😢😢 Your reaction is great! I like the comment you put on this tbh it’s the first long reaction that I don’t skip in a while / support the girls !
really love your takes on every mv and i highly agree w each one of those. their group name really lives up to its name- they're showcasing the different themes a human person can experience in their lives. especially those in their early adulthood and late adolescence because that's when most crucial decisions and situations will happen. their concept is the reminder of the darker shade of the spectrum of human life without actually glamorizing the hardships one can actually feel on those.
The story of all the songs and the meaning behind them including the mvs already speaks a lot. Its like the worst moments of their lives but right moment for them to know each other. They're their own salvation from the bad experiences that they were going through, and i know lots of people will relate.
Yes NewJeans, BABYMONSTER, etc are cute n cool, but, Young adults Kpop girlgroup is my favorite and hit different!!! I love when the group doesn’t have underage girl. Kiss Of Life reminds me of Sistar ❤️
I always want to watch your reaction because I just know whatever genre of the music, you'll have good insights to share. And damn, Kiss Of Life may just have the most promising debut that I ever witnessed on KPop. The cohesiveness of the album, how each of them have solo songs right away and showcased their own charisma, and how their MVs collectively narrates a story that is empowering while being fun to watch. I can say no negative fedback about them. Damn!
OH MY GOD YES YES! I have been waiting for this! ❤I love how in NATTY'S video she said "There's the other member" Usually people didn't recognize Hanuel right away! They really did an amazing job on this! Such talented girls
Thank you for your reaction! I really enjoy it! ❤ This plot is similar to a true story of natty about her dream cause she fight for it for 9 yrs First, attended to sixteen (program that form twice) 2nd, idol school (program that form fromis_9) 3rd, a soloist And this time with a group to chase their dream together! We need to stan kiof fr for make their dream come true!
Neverland being fandom name for (G)I-dle and name of KIOF song is ironic because one of the founders of KIOF company also cofounded CUBE. Probably also answers question how this company can attract talent given his history.
I discovered them a few days ago and I‘m shocked how good their debut album is. And the music videos are fantastic as well. I like all songs but Sugarcoat and Neverland are my favorites ❤️
What I really love about their debut is that the MVs really portrayed why the group is named Kiss of Life. I can only pray that their management promote them well.
I still have to process Natty is an adult now.... But damn they put everything from every company together and created a monster group 😮 not in a negative way!
The story behind it all is so well thought out and touching. I didn't know about this at first, had jsut watched the MV to Shhh and listened to ll of their solos on spotify bc they are awesome. I saw the coherent story for the first time here and it makes it all 100x better.
told myself i can't afford to stan another group... but i couldn't help it LOL i'll always love me a full-package group, and kiss of life is one of them 😩❤
I feel, this is actually the best debut I’ve seen yet from a Kpop group. They are serving everything- esp the vocals..Rap.. dance. They have it all.
YES! I’m a fairly new K-pop Stan and there haven’t been and groups I’ve stanned from debut yet so I’m glad they’re the ones. I feel like they’re gonna be big, but even if they aren’t they at least have one fan here
Only 3 debuts I can say the best, snsd, the ark, and this KIOF
@@divaaja2487fr! kiss of life slayed with this one
Julie come from black label, Natty come from Jyp , Belle come from SM and Haneul come from HYBE this is the perfect match !!!
The perfect Big 3 + HYBE trainees. Belle’s vocal just like SM, Haneul having stage presence like HYBE, Natty having great dance skills like JYP and Julie having the perfect english and rap like YG.
And Belle participe composing from Miyeon and Leserafimm song's like Unforgiven from Leseraffim has a great talent all the members
@@blazeuryPerfect English??? You could've said rap
@@justastranger8758 done
That actually makes a lot of pieces come together. TNX for the info.
Julie explained the last part and that’s her favorite part we all know that Natty came from Solo and now she’s in a Group called Kiss of Life, Julie said that she will no longer be a solo because she has a group now. And that’s makes me emotional 😭
The lyrics "burned my neverland" really hits home. Especially for those who were forced to grow up early due to circumstances. Big hugs for everyone who burned their neverlands and forced their inner child to hide.
They sang live at every stage of their debut stage.
their music really connect with young adults... I have been missing that kind of sound and emotions in kpop
37:53 That was indeed a whistle note. Belle does them and you can actually hear her do the live as well. She really got them SM vocals considering she was a SM trainee
I also cried at the part of "burn my neverland" at that one line "becoming an adult isn't easy, and even though is not, you still wanted to grow up, and it hurts but we gotta go through it just for surviving" like no sugarcoat, straight up truth..i remember i cried on the car listening lyrics per lyrics back then..KISS OF LIFE YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUSSS
So basically kiss of life is those teenagers turning adult..days full of expectation from parents, environment pressure and the need to survive without the helps of anyone..I FELT THATTTT
Natty has grown so much since SIXTEEN, I'm so happy she was able to debut after all this time 😭❤
Yes i am so appreciated to her for this debut as she made it and more touching. So pround of her.
sugarcoat is easily in top 10 songs of this year for me, so good
yes, that's why their name is KISS OF LIFE. their concept is talking about every piece of life. A Kiss is not always in a good moment, sometimes it hurts, make us cry. but at the end, we want a happy kiss on our life.
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS REACTION OH MY GOD
Kiss of Life is just on another level, they're just completely out of the box and they go above and beyond the usual kpop standard for girl groups. I'm so grateful for KIOF for making a debut like this, it's eye opening and it's just aghh
This gotta be one of the best debuts I have ever witnessed in kpop. Like, everything is soooooo well done.
Not the line "leave the hometown" and Natty showed up. It hits differently knowing she'd been chasing her dream that long since Mixnine here in Korea, which I could assume she already leave Thai, her hometown for 10+ years.
bye my neverland symbolizes becomung an adult after all the struggles of being a kid and saying bye to childhood and it makes me sad ☹️☹️
I got teary eyed while watching bye my neverland 😢
Her reaction is always the best, so real😊 Kiss of Life music is one of the best debut this 2023
Sugarcoat is already my pick for SOTY it’s the perfect song for me nothing can surpass this cuz it’s absolutely perfect bro
the reason kiss of life music is so refreshing is because it is mature women music made by mature women. all the members were 18 and over at debut. most other 4th gen gg cant pull of this music is because they have minors on the group, so they cant show or sing about more mature themes. the current trend of Y2K focuses more on the high school during that time period, where as kiss of life Y2K spin is looking at from a young adult r&b type of sound and look

Love this group. PERFECT way to debut in my opinion. Different tastes, genres, styles, and the way you spoke about the Solos and both MVs matching up so nicely from a videography and storybuilding perspective.... beautiful!!!
Kiss of life debut is amazing in my opinion. The storytelling, the solos, the songs, their vocals, the raps... everything is so good
I have been attracted to them too. Like this is one of the best debut ever. Their performance are not boring at all. And they keep performing live..
I hope S2 Ent. really manage this group better this time after what happened to Hot Issue because these girls are really awesome all around.
WTF THIS IS BRILLIANT!!! sooo well done! perfect debut!
OMG FINALLY THANK YOU FOR REACTING COCO!! ❤️

Yes finally thanks for reacting to them...they already became my top group right now damn all of them are so fucking talented
Bye My Neverland is such a great song. It's my favourite song of theirs next to Natty's Sugarcoat.
"I just wanted to listen to good music; I didn't want to feel"
ROFL
I think we all know you well enough now to know that you know full well just how quickly and deeply music breaks us and opens us up. Yeah, Belle's M/V is rough, so are Natty's and Julie's, in different ways, and Haneul's role when they all come together and she's being stalked. Love the storytelling throughout, though, and so glad you went through them in order like many of us did (those of us who don't have to consider filming for an audience LOL).
11:10 They all have accreditations on the album, but Belle wrote countdown when she was at school
oh, also, don't know if this has been said yet, but Belle won the 'Proud Korean Grand Prize' in the composer category at the '2023 Korea Best Brand Awards' on July 15, 2023
so just 15 days ago, and literally 10 days after debut, so obviously a result of her work outside of and before KIOF, but she is No Joke in Korean songwriting right now (Miyeon's solo album and Le Sserafim's Unforgiven just to name a few of her other credits)
It's not Belle ?
@@RBA-yy7rs OMG, of course it's Belle
I hate typing LOL
what's cool about Natty is that she's never catered as a main vocalist material, but here she is devouring half (dare I even say 3/4) of 4th gen vocalists
One of the best solid debut song! hoping they can win girlgroup rookie of the year!
It's been a while since Stayc that no group made me curious and happy, I want more, more and more! I've followed Natty since JYP, her being in this group already gave me goosebumps. Best debut ever
Omgg, me too! Since Stayc (my ult gg), not other gg caught my attention
For me since stayc there have been a lot of groups that really caught my attention like Ive, le sserafim and new jeans
Finally mature concept group is back
OMG I wasn't expecting a marathon but I'm so glad you decided to check them out! I love their concept and sound so much. It pleases me how they center more on a mature storyline with that coming-of-age feel to it. Bye My Neverland resonates with me so much on a personal level. I like all of their releases so far.
Big 4 in one group tbh they’re just perfect together and complete eachother. Their talent is just crazy
Same reaction too!

KISS OF LIFE JUST DROPPED THEIR DANCE PRACTICE FOR SHH AFTER THIS REAC VID DROPPED TOO OMG DESTINY IT IS
Belle's acting got as all. I believe that we all collectively felt that.
i love how natty's mv showcases her dancing skills meanwhile her song is showcasing her insane vocal talent
apparently, "Belle composed her debut solo song in Kiss of Life, “Countdown (BELLE Solo),” in her second year of high school, in two sessions with the songwriting group Royal Dive. The song was originally called “Getdown” and an English demo exists, but the title and lyrics were changed for the Korean release.

Their concept is just so perfect. Their name is perfect. Throughout all these mvs, they gave us a kiss of what's life is about 😢
雖然很喜歡他們 但之前沒看過全部MV 看完這個reaction 才完全了解劇情 很棒的reaction 謝謝~
honestly my fav debut of 2023
YESS kiss of life!!! i’m so proud of natty i know her since sixteen
Natty is carrying her dream with her all the time, (the radio 😅) practicing time after time, from place to place, feel lonely 😢 sometimes she fails, but never gives up...when it comes to Natty story.. i cry😢😢
สู้ๆ นะคะ นัตตี้ ลูก
Shhh gave me 2015-2016 pop vibes and im here for it!!
No but Belle MV is so relatable to a lot of people. Actually all of them. I think Kiss of Life aimed to release something closest to reality.
Also Belle is a songwriter and producer even before debut. She has credit on Unforgiven, 2 Miyeon songs and Purple kiss song. Also ofc their own tittle track and her Solo.
Also Thank u for the Reaction ❤
Their debut reminds me of Newjeans debut but in a more mature way and I love it we love having a group debut as adults and have a more mature side
I had the exact same reaction tears and all!!!! What a debut. Its my favorite ever!!!
Omg I cry along with you 😢😢
Your reaction is great! I like the comment you put on this tbh it’s the first long reaction that I don’t skip in a while
/ support the girls !
Best debut I've seen!! So edgy and story driven. I LOVE!!! 🎉
I knew natty and I'm glad she's in this group. this is one of the best debut. they compliment each other and their chemistry is so good
Belle solo is my fav because I could relate with her song the most
really love your takes on every mv and i highly agree w each one of those. their group name really lives up to its name- they're showcasing the different themes a human person can experience in their lives. especially those in their early adulthood and late adolescence because that's when most crucial decisions and situations will happen. their concept is the reminder of the darker shade of the spectrum of human life without actually glamorizing the hardships one can actually feel on those.
HOPEFULLY THEY WILL FAMOUS IN KOREA TOO NOT JUST INTERNATIONAL ~~

I ever heard from somewhere that BOA is Natty’s idol so I’ve no doubts they’re have the same vibe r&b vibe and I really love it ;-;❤
OH MY GOD YES YES! I have been waiting for this! ❤I love how in NATTY'S video she said "There's the other member" Usually people didn't recognize Hanuel right away! They really did an amazing job on this! Such talented girls
Thank you for your reaction!
I really enjoy it! ❤
This plot is similar to a true story of natty about her dream cause she fight for it for 9 yrs
First, attended to sixteen (program that form twice)
2nd, idol school (program that form fromis_9)
3rd, a soloist
And this time with a group to chase their dream together!
We need to stan kiof fr for make their dream come true!
These were shot in Budapest, Hungary! My home country! I was so shocked but happy when I saw it!
I agreed 👍 this is one of the best debut ever 🎉
Julie is a former trainee of BLACKLABEL so you can see the rap essence.
best debut i’ve seen after a LONG time
What a great reaction!! I also got teary eyed while watching their MVs❤ I'm obsessed with Kiss of Life these days❤
Kitty Cat's melody reminds me of CL's Lifted. Not like similar, but they kinda have that same vibe.
aw, i wanna cry when i see you cry. because i can relate to the story of countdown too. i hope that you are happier right now ❤
Haneul's solo mv had me on edge trying to figure out if i should be mad or not lmao
Love the album so much, all of the girls are so talented, I am defititely supporting this girls!
I love how your European senses were tingling too LOL, all the MVs were filmed in Hungary.
Im crying along with you. It’s soooo goooood!😭😭😭
Neverland being fandom name for (G)I-dle and name of KIOF song is ironic because one of the founders of KIOF company also cofounded CUBE. Probably also answers question how this company can attract talent given his history.
They are GOLD ROOKIES
FINALLY OMFG I LOVE YOUR REACTION ON COUNTDOWN, IT HAPPENS TO ME AND I FELT IT EVEN THOU I AM NOT IN SOMEONE'S POSITION WHO EXPERIENCED THAT.
the way i cried with you even though i've watched these several times 😭
giving korean and the views on things i love how an idol putting out the kitty cat mv is so refreshing
I discovered them a few days ago and I‘m shocked how good their debut album is. And the music videos are fantastic as well.
I like all songs but Sugarcoat and Neverland are my favorites ❤️
your reaction likez you are in a rollercoater LOL
I know, esp from bye my neverland to shhh is such a switch 😂😂😂
Finally !! Thanks for reaction ✨❤
Thank you so much for making this , really big fan of kiss of life here
What I really love about their debut is that the MVs really portrayed why the group is named Kiss of Life. I can only pray that their management promote them well.
I swear I cried too when u start having teary eyes
I still have to process Natty is an adult now....
But damn they put everything from every company together and created a monster group 😮 not in a negative way!
GOOD REACTION ¡¡
I love Countdown and I love your reaction soooo much. Exactly what i felt omg
Finally HAHAHA I’ve been waiting forever
The story behind it all is so well thought out and touching. I didn't know about this at first, had jsut watched the MV to Shhh and listened to ll of their solos on spotify bc they are awesome. I saw the coherent story for the first time here and it makes it all 100x better.
I think this one is the best and the most emotional reaction video of yours. It is the night I want to talk with mom and my family.
They deserve so much better. They deserve a mega hype.
하 키오프 넘좋아..
In the end part which you listen for ad-libs like whistle part is from belle their main vocalist
told myself i can't afford to stan another group... but i couldn't help it LOL i'll always love me a full-package group, and kiss of life is one of them 😩❤
