To people who are commenting on how they are mad that my scripts don't mention a deeper meaning in mvs we react to: what I say to begin reaction videos is all information taken from helpful fans on twitter. As a music major at a very strict music conservatory, I don't have time to do my own research for every video and group we react to. So I make sure to tweet before we react to any videos, asking fans for facts about the groups and music videos. So all info I get is from fans, and if I don't say something in my video script, it's because no one ever told me. I wish I could research and spend hours making sure I had all details right, but sadly if I spent time doing that, I would fail and drop out of college. If you are upset with the content of my scripts, make sure to check my twitter once and a while and contribute info about your favorite songs/groups when I ask! Thank you for understanding.
ReacttotheK please react to ioi, they have a song called 'At the same place' which is really good especially their vocals. I'm sure you guys will luv it
I see the tweets all the time but I sadly don’t have enough information myself - although I would love to say something, I honestly have nothing useful or helpful to say.
ReacttotheK ..hi I give u some info about this group they composed song for produce 101 ' never' nd it's big hit song...1, hyuna ,she was member of 'wonder girls'.( A big hit group )nd 4mintes ..nd her songs with ' trouble maker' was huge hit in kpop. And she was in ''psy Gangnam style' song ( blond girl).2 is hui ,he is manner of pantheon and he composed wanna one ' enteric' and win many awards.3 is E' down he is also a member of Pentagon nd lead dancer. That all I can type now bye ...nd I love ur channel..
i think the... concept of the mv kind of went over everyone's heads lol. hyuna is very known for doing concepts that korea would consider "taboo", and sorta doesn't care how much people think "ah this is a little too far or too sexy or too much". this mv specifically revolved around some of south korea's biggest issues: gang violence, sexual assault, and suicide. hui was the gang member getting into street fights, stealing, etc. hyuna was protecting herself from being raped/sexual harassment and accidentally ended up killing the guy (and ran away because even though the murder happened due to self defense, sk law and general public probably wouldn't have cared and she would have gotten in trouble). and e'dawn was the "crazy", craving death kid who just wanted to die so badly but couldn't seem to do it properly.
I like your comment. I think they touched on a lot of important topics and ppl are all triggered bc it didn't show them kiss and makeup and dance into the sunset at the end. they committed suicide. bc they were all crazy in their own way. and that's reality it happens to ppl, maybe not always so extreme. anyway I think too many ppl want some happy ending but it doesn't work out that way. I mean even artists like BTS had abuse, murder, alcoholism, delusions, crime, suicide, etc. in their mvs and trailers and told beautiful stories and a lot of the time they didn't resolve themselves. freaking V put his head on a train track and didn't seem to care. like freaking no one talks about how that is glorifying suicide or jimin in the bathtub, V killing a man, I could go on. like i love bts bc they don't act like life is all rainbows and glitter and these are real traumatic things that happen in the world. same with triple h. I don't think the intent is to tell teens to do all this. besides no one with a brain will watch this and be like omg I wanna do it bc hui did it. like tf. if they do that its bc there were far deeper issues in their lives first. ugh. anyway sorry I'm jsut ranting now. but it bothers me how for bts or vixx or whoever even Melanie Martinez, when they include stuff like this everyone loves it and supports it and calls it art but then for triple h which did a very artistic mv with those same things, then it's terrible and a bad message and blah blah blah. pisses me off.
I would agree with everyone on this thread if they were singing a completely different song with different lyrics. The problem is that their lyrics include things like 'so fresh whatever I do, hurry and follow me, keep it up, you can take it' etc. Also, are we even unpacking the meaning of '365 so fresh'? The effect of pairing this brightly coloured, 'aesthetic' video to this particular song does not portray the issues as a harsh/ignored reality, i feel like it does the opposite and makes light of them.
wy wy the music itself doesn’t always have to line up directly with the context of the music video. i think i need you by bts is a good example of that, where the actual content matter of the mv is much darker than a song that’s just about heartbreak lmao. having bright music as a background to dark subject matter isn’t something that’s new- it’s done in movies all the time, and the juxtaposition of the two entities often times makes the story of the film/mv stand out more than it would’ve if the music fit 100%, thematically.
that was one of the best mvs i've ever watched hands down, just like nothing in kpop. the resonance between upbeat music and dark storyline is really captivating.
I don’t think they were glorifying these horrible things. These things are hard to talk about it korea so I think they were trying to put it out in a video and be open that these are problems we are facing- korea has the highest suicide rate for an oecd country yet it’s rarely talked about - I think they were trying to show that
I think if the music didn't contrast with the MV so much, it would be more inappropriate. I feel like you really are supposed to be uneasy watching it. There are also some lyrics in the song that when you match them with the MV it kinda makes sense, like Fresh till death etc. Death, depression, suicidal tendencies and all that shit is a theme of a lot of young people. What I got from the MV and the song combined, was three young adults who were lost, had no idea where to go in life, didn't even want to live all that much. But instead of working through it, they just killed their time however they could, because they didn't know better and were in pain. I think when they all met they decided then and there they would kill themselves together and went on to enjoy life and go all out as much as they could in their last moments. They had sex, they partied, they drank and then it was time to end it. It's all very sad, but they didn't want to acknowledge it, nobody around them knew, to anyone else they were just wild fresh kids, but the truth behind it was different, that's why the beat is so happy and upbeat. It's not that they are happy about their situation, it's that nobody can see their pain. And this is actually a huge problem in South Korea. They have the highest rate of suicides in the world but it's taboo to talk about mental health or suicides or depression and you cant even get much help. And it's a huge problem in the Kpop industry as well. A lot of idols suffer from mental issues but they have to act happy, they cannot tell anyone, and nobody pays it much attention, until they actually kill themselves, or try to. So yea I think this whole thing makes a lot of sense. PS: The stage and the dance is actually the upbeat funky vibe that matches the song, which is even more ironic, because all those people on the shows are dancing and cheering to a song that sounds happy but has a very dark meaning.
Exactly! That's the impression I always got from the contradiction between the upbeat song and the dark af MV. Like having to look and sound happy while there's an invisible gun to your head.
That's exactly what I got out of the music video. Idk I don't think it's wrong to portray depression in this way. Songs take artistic liberty all the time to express their points. This is probably one of the few ways they can actually put out a song that touches on suicide and depression because of how upbeat it seems.
Moon Yoongi Doesn't Japan have the highest rate? Although that's not really counting all the countries experiencing heavy problems that can't count that properly
nur afira I loved how cube even took that step considering edawn and hui are only rookies and also not exploiting but representing legit shit ppl go through raw emotions and stuff that goes on in the world in such a mature and consistent way with a great responsible FEMALE artists right by their sides so yea they should shut up and stop crapping on this video bcuz videos like this should be normal in Korea by now instead of being "basic" or "aesthetic" coming of age shouldn't have a limit when being showed through video and film😧
I love Pentagon a whole whole lot. That MV was super adult and tarantino-y which knowing Hui and Edawn seems unlike their image. I do think they (the reactors) are taking the MV concept a leeeeeettle too seriously though. Edited because I didn't realize how much I typo-ed here.
I never thought of the video as THAT controversial when i saw it initially, yeah it's really different from typical kpop stuff, but the narrative of the video i think is supposed to contrast with the song and i personally liked how they went with a cinematic rather than a performance video because it sets them apart and shows how they're unique. Maybe it's because I don't get triggered or feel uncomfortable with things that show violent/sexual/illicit themes, but I really thought that the music was unexpectedly complimentary to the video and wasn't intending to make light of the serious problems portrayed rather than just tell a story. It's purely conceptual in my opinion, similar to BTS' HYYH/Wings/Highlight Reel, it's fictional and probably has a deeper meaning. I'm excited to see what they do next.
i already said this on patreon but, again, this mv being controversial in its presentation is something that i think was wholly intentional. hyuna handled most of the creative direction for triple h and you can tell that she had a vision that she brought to life- you can be controversial through the use of taboo topics/imagery (esp in korea lol.. the sexual assault and attempted suicide scenes aren’t something you see in korean media often for a reason. censorship is a big problem over there: that’s why the cigarette had to be blurred out) just like she has in her other mvs. not to mention the way this was shot is beautiful, and i think it fits the music.
True, HyunA knows how to tell a story with taboo subjects. Occasionally I ask myself if she ever is interested in film making, because her creativity and how she's not that ashamed of using those taboo topics could make for an excellent show or movie. I would love a movie produced by a team that includes HyunA.
Lol i keep forgetting for some people they just can't handle their gore or get in deep. This video felt great for the song cause it was Tarantino influenced and a little don't drive in cars with boys. Personally if it's rated 19 then it should be fine. Change pop around, it gets boring when you see the same kind of bubblegum pop all the time and triple h really took it there. How much more is there to restrict.
This is one of the best MVs in Kpop 💜 The song represents how the troubled youngsters cover up their pain and tell themselves that they are fine. The try to drown their sorrows in partying. That's how society sees them. Society sees them as troublemakers and no one helps them. The MV criticizes Korean society that takes mentall illness and suicide lightly. In the end they commit suicide but still no one cares. This is reality. The MV shoves it in our faces so we will want to bring a change.
What’s so special about Triple H is that: 1- The 3 members are so different yet they create some hot mess synergy 2- The MV was full of over-expressed or dramatized social and mental problems the youth is actually experiencing 3- 365 So Fresh is a song that we needed, funk is a genre that we needed 4- The album was filled with BOPS, it’s been a year and I still listen to every side track 5- Hyuna, Hui and Edawn are talent freaks
Personally, I think the irreverence regarding the issues of suicide, violence, sexual harassment, etc. is part of the point this MV was trying to make. By juxtaposing these issues with a catchy dance track and partying and such, it reflects Korea’s and much of the world’d attitude toward these issues where victim blaming is common and mental illness is ignored or shamed. In a way, they are intentionally making light of these issues with the purpose of making the viewer uncomfortable with that. You should be disconcerted by pairing this song with these images and it should make you think about what that says about how we view these issues in our daily life.
I actually really really love this song, it’s something I don’t see often in kpop and I don’t think many artists could pull it off as great as Hui, Edawn and Hyuna! their voices match really well and I thought that the mv was very interesting and captivating!
Three people who lost their will to live have joined together for a last hurrah! Not caring about right or wrong, just doing what they feel like doing for as long as they can. I like the video more than I like the song. I'm a bit surprised that the initial reactions were quite tame though, I was expecting stronger reactions.
I hope some of the reactors know the comment people are making- I think a lot of the long comments that explain the MV-Song contrast were nice to read just to understand
the thing about the video is that it wasn’t meant to be light in any way. it was more of a social commentary. they do slide to suicide and sexual abuse and the subsequent murder but all of that is shit that happens and none of it is talked about enough in korea or the rest of the world. we marginalize the concept so much that it’s important to have this type of video out there
Have these people not seen Tarantino/action movies, or even just like..... American music videos? Do they watch kid shows all day long? Only listen to bubblegum pop? I don’t get it.
as to the comments made abt if people watch this, they are going to be influenced and go off and try to copy what they see in the mv.. i honestly don't really buy that, its the same rhetoric abt how kids who play violent video games are going to go do violent things, which i believe has been disproven. yes some people may be more predisposed but its not going to change someone's behavior. and yeah the mv is not the same vibe as the song, im pretty sure they were going for that contrast. idk i enjoyed that it was different
Interesting to watch! This just happened to pop up in suggested videos & I love this song so much recently but I haven't checked out the MV yet. I'll have to go do that now :3
ty for the nice reaction as always! totally agree with how nicely distinct their voices are! Hyuna, hui and edawn are an unexpected combo but they sound so good tgt! and yeah it's a bit troubling how it seemed like they're making light of certain issues, but the intent was more of like, artistic expression ig? In an interview Hyuna said she wanted to portray "an unsustainable lifestyle" bc she felt like that's what youth is all about. Personally i don't rlly mind the reactors' reaction to the thematic things cus honestly most of that go over ppl's heads and this channel is mainly dedicated to reacting to the music so like even if you don't know everything abt the concepts/groups it's honestly fine On another note, yall should check out more of ptg and hyuna's stuff too, they both contribute a lot in the production process. Pentagon even has multiple members who've composed songs for themselves and other idols like kino (Violet), wooseok + edawn (organic song, most of rapline unit songs), and hui (honestly most of ptg's titles, thank you, you are. wanna one's never and energetic, etc)
Wow, this reaction really surprised me. I agree that the topic is dark, and that the rating is appropriate, but the point of the video is about escaping from your troubles and the things that weigh you down. Finding a way to be happy despite the bad stuff. In a perfect world the video would have a trigger warning, but I don’t thing the video is making light of the subjects it portrays.
Listening to the music didn't made me think what the mv meant. And knowing what the mv means now just doesn't give me the same vibe anymore. I feel like I got traumatized wth. 😂💕
i think the biggest thing that i liked about this particular song / mv was that it DID show struggles that regular people go through - suicide, sexual harassment things like that, you don't really find a TON of that in the k-pop industry i guess? ( i mean obviously there are artists like BAP that talk about things like that but for the most part it still isn't a huge part of the industry) anyways i thought the way they showed it and the things that they showed was cool. in contrast the music is very bright and fun idk i could be reading into things too deep but that could also be seen as although these people have shit going on in their lives there is also a certain facade that they can put up to make them appear happy, hence the poppy bright music. The ending could've turned out better though lol, still shaken over that but all in all it was still one of my fave 2017 releases. thank you for reacting to it!
Love the awareness to the serious topic in the music video covers. Also, the song is fantastic is that doesn't HURT (Forgive my dark humor internet) either.
To take it way the hell back, the MV always reminded me a little of Aerosmith's Cryin'. Especially the ending. Youth hitting a self destructive wall and going out of control ending in a blaze
I admit I was confused when I watch it the first time. But after thinking about it and watching it again .. it felt different. That MV is deep and definetely ask analyze.
I knew Kevin would love this. Bother the music and the video. I was hoping someone else would get all the video references and why it connects with the song. Because now I feel old, lol. Isaac definitely wouldn't like Troublemaker's Now and potentially BTS' I Need U.
usually they talk more about the musical aspect and here it's more about the MV... honestly the MV is not innapropriate. there is a point to this storytelling
This is quite clearly a Tarantino movie about how mafia-Hui adopted a stray-accidental-murdered (who killed an abuser) and a stray-suicidal-junkie before they went on a Thelma and Louise-like adventure. There are important themes here, and the contrast is smart imo.
HYUNA! She's also a former member of Wonder Girls with Sunmi. Her music videos are always Rated19, she's a total risk taker and bad ass chic. React to Now and Troublemaker by her former group Troublemaker pleasssseee!!!!

Exactly

elina I was just thinking that
I watched this some weeks ago but now I really think that it is one of the best
Thank you!

I agree

couldn't have said it better myself
Moon Yoongi Doesn't Japan have the highest rate? Although that's not really counting all the countries experiencing heavy problems that can't count that properly
And the fact that the song title is '365 so fresh' makes it even darker. Like, every way you see it, you gotta appear so fresh.
*"I don't know if I wanna dance or cry."* me 25/8
tbh i thought he was saying "dance or grind" ROFL big mood tho
The mv is so versatile and the best subunit ever!!
nur afira I loved how cube even took that step considering edawn and hui are only rookies and also not exploiting but representing legit shit ppl go through raw emotions and stuff that goes on in the world in such a mature and consistent way with a great responsible FEMALE artists right by their sides so yea they should shut up and stop crapping on this video bcuz videos like this should be normal in Korea by now instead of being "basic" or "aesthetic" coming of age shouldn't have a limit when being showed through video and film😧
"Hyuna from 4 minute..."
THE PAIN UDJSJZZBJE
Kristel B that the beat profile pic

Kristel B she probably don’t like Hyuna
Danny Ayyy i see you are a man of culture
Yesss
I love Pentagon a whole whole lot. That MV was super adult and tarantino-y which knowing Hui and Edawn seems unlike their image. I do think they (the reactors) are taking the MV concept a leeeeeettle too seriously though.
Edited because I didn't realize how much I typo-ed here.
huh??????????????
I think ot was a pretty fun mv
I really tried to understand that sentence but I'll be honest, I gave up in the end.
Boone same. I legit read it 4 times.
Lauren Freeman "a leeeeeettle too seriously" who? Anyways, I could barely understand what this entire comment was, sorry.
These three together are everything
I'm the 334th like :')

Sinsational I’m sorry but maybe you can stay home and watch some Disney films instead?
Exol, Kpop trash and SM STAN
Seems like a good alternative
I didn't expect this reaction! But I'm happy cause it's definitely part of my top 20 song of 2017 and top5 MVs of 2017! ^^
Manon Lcz same!
Lol i keep forgetting for some people they just can't handle their gore or get in deep. This video felt great for the song cause it was Tarantino influenced and a little don't drive in cars with boys. Personally if it's rated 19 then it should be fine.

Sadaf Shahzad omg up up UP!! this is how I see the MV too!
What’s so special about Triple H is that:
1- The 3 members are so different yet they create some hot mess synergy
2- The MV was full of over-expressed or dramatized social and mental problems the youth is actually experiencing
3- 365 So Fresh is a song that we needed, funk is a genre that we needed
4- The album was filled with BOPS, it’s been a year and I still listen to every side track
5- Hyuna, Hui and Edawn are talent freaks
Personally, I think the irreverence regarding the issues of suicide, violence, sexual harassment, etc. is part of the point this MV was trying to make. By juxtaposing these issues with a catchy dance track and partying and such, it reflects Korea’s and much of the world’d attitude toward these issues where victim blaming is common and mental illness is ignored or shamed. In a way, they are intentionally making light of these issues with the purpose of making the viewer uncomfortable with that.

I actually really really love this song, it’s something I don’t see often in kpop and I don’t think many artists could pull it off as great as Hui, Edawn and Hyuna! their voices match really well and I thought that the mv was very interesting and captivating!
Been nearly a year AND still loving this song
Three people who lost their will to live have joined together for a last hurrah! Not caring about right or wrong, just doing what they feel like doing for as long as they can.
I like the video more than I like the song. I'm a bit surprised that the initial reactions were quite tame though, I was expecting stronger reactions.
i really love this song, the mv is dark but thats what i love about it and triple H is kinda like the best trio ever soooooo yea 💕
but we're all forgetting that this song was made way before 24k magic so which song sounds like which song lmaooo 🤔🤔🤔
it sounds like treasure (which sounds like baby i'm yours by breakbot) not 24k Magic and treasure has been released since 2013
Yes it sounds like a mixture of both 24k and treasure
24k magic came out 2016 while 365 Fresh came out 2017 though??
yasmin yes.
Urmmm no it wasn't
I hope some of the reactors know the comment people are making- I think a lot of the long comments that explain the MV-Song contrast were nice to read just to understand
Today Is Triple H’s 1 Year Debut Day ❤️❤️
YASSSS 365 FRESH WAS AMAZING from the instrumental to the voices, to the music video...honestly it was an amazing production
I’m OBSESSED with this MV tbh it tackles so many issues and challenges loads of taboo subjects in SK
Oh I’m so happy they are reacting to this music video it’s always been one of my favs
I literally screamed when I see this, this is one of my favorite songs for monthssss now and I’m so happy I’ll see their reaction.
the thing about the video is that it wasn’t meant to be light in any way. it was more of a social commentary. they do slide to suicide and sexual abuse and the subsequent murder but all of that is shit that happens and none of it is talked about enough in korea or the rest of the world. we marginalize the concept so much that it’s important to have this type of video out there
Have these people not seen Tarantino/action movies, or even just like..... American music videos? Do they watch kid shows all day long? Only listen to bubblegum pop? I don’t get it.
OMGGGG I've been waiting for this forever !!! Thank you for reacting to this song!! The music video and the song are both a masterpiece!
THIS IS MY fav mv ever im glad yall reacted to it
I still listen to this occasionally for the uplifting vibe (though the MV is obviously effing dark). haha
This is one of the best mvs in K-pop it’s been my all time favorite since the first time I watched it
Reactors: *calmly enjoying the song*
Kevin, as an intellectual: *starts dancing*
Love this reaction!!! Every time their reactions are soo good!
as to the comments made abt if people watch this, they are going to be influenced and go off and try to copy what they see in the mv.. i honestly don't really buy that, its the same rhetoric abt how kids who play violent video games are going to go do violent things, which i believe has been disproven. yes some people may be more predisposed but its not going to change someone's behavior. and yeah the mv is not the same vibe as the song, im pretty sure they were going for that contrast. idk i enjoyed that it was different
I want a triple h comeback this year
AWH YES I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO, I love this song with my heart and soul
HAPPY 1 year anniversary TRIPLE H!!!!
triple h needs a comeback
I literally requested this yesterday! Wicked! Instant gratification for me! 😀😃😄😁
been waiting for this! Thank youuu 💓
Omg after your last Video with the 365 so fresh Endcard, I wished you would react to Triple H!! I’m so happyyy
I love so much Pentagon and this song, I’m so happy you reacted to it!
I swear I was waiting for this, I was thinking why they haven't uploaded looking at the page!
Interesting to watch! This just happened to pop up in suggested videos & I love this song so much recently but I haven't checked out the MV yet. I'll have to go do that now :3
Have non of the reactors seen Thelma and Louise, or....?
Lately you’re reacting to basically everything I love😍
omg I wasn’t expecting y’all to react to triple h I literally gasped
THE MV OF THE YEAR.2017
QUEEN HYUNA AND KINGS HUI and E'DWAN.
'4MINUTE' THAT HURT😭
YES!!! IM HAPPY U DID THIS SONG ITS ONE OF MY FAVESS
ty for the nice reaction as always! totally agree with how nicely distinct their voices are! Hyuna, hui and edawn are an unexpected combo but they sound so good tgt! and yeah it's a bit troubling how it seemed like they're making light of certain issues, but the intent was more of like, artistic expression ig? In an interview Hyuna said she wanted to portray "an unsustainable lifestyle" bc she felt like that's what youth is all about. Personally i don't rlly mind the reactors' reaction to the thematic things cus honestly most of that go over ppl's heads and this channel is mainly dedicated to reacting to the music so like even if you don't know everything abt the concepts/groups it's honestly fine
On another note, yall should check out more of ptg and hyuna's stuff too, they both contribute a lot in the production process. Pentagon even has multiple members who've composed songs for themselves and other idols like kino (Violet), wooseok + edawn (organic song, most of rapline unit songs), and hui (honestly most of ptg's titles, thank you, you are. wanna one's never and energetic, etc)
I WAS JUST WONDERING TODAY IF THERE WAS ALREADY A REACTION FOR THIS
CLEARLY THERE IS NOW
Been waiting for this😙😊now I'll watch the video.
YEEEES FINALLY! I've been waiting for this
Legit I somehow cried when this song came out. I dunno why 😂 up till now, this song's mah jam
But, still waiting for an Astro reaction tho~~~
o usually just watch until the end of the music videos but okay we talking about TripleH. hyuna, hui and e'dawn with his drunk blush ♡
Love when all together react to videos really is a fun song & intersting mv
I shamelessly screamed "YEEEEEEEEEESS" while clicking of that vid.... maybe I love Triple H...
I kept bobbing my head to the music and then freaking out about the music video
Wow, this reaction really surprised me. I agree that the topic is dark, and that the rating is appropriate, but the point of the video is about escaping from your troubles and the things that weigh you down. Finding a way to be happy despite the bad stuff. In a perfect world the video would have a trigger warning, but I don’t thing the video is making light of the subjects it portrays.
I feel like I was waiting all my life for this reaction
Listening to the music didn't made me think what the mv meant. And knowing what the mv means now just doesn't give me the same vibe anymore. I feel like I got traumatized wth. 😂💕
I was waiting for it for a long time! Now I just want them to see Pentagon too and enjoy their voices ❤️
Been waiting since day 1. Love triple h
i think the biggest thing that i liked about this particular song / mv was that it DID show struggles that regular people go through - suicide, sexual harassment things like that, you don't really find a TON of that in the k-pop industry i guess? ( i mean obviously there are artists like BAP that talk about things like that but for the most part it still isn't a huge part of the industry) anyways i thought the way they showed it and the things that they showed was cool. in contrast the music is very bright and fun idk i could be reading into things too deep but that could also be seen as although these people have shit going on in their lives there is also a certain facade that they can put up to make them appear happy, hence the poppy bright music. The ending could've turned out better though lol, still shaken over that but all in all it was still one of my fave 2017 releases. thank you for reacting to it!
Love the awareness to the serious topic in the music video covers. Also, the song is fantastic is that doesn't HURT (Forgive my dark humor internet) either.
FINALLYY!!! yass! Love your acc!! ❤️
Finally it's here I legit kept on checking the reaction schedule
u got me at pentagon w/c they're reacting to in the future omg !!!!!
To take it way the hell back, the MV always reminded me a little of Aerosmith's Cryin'. Especially the ending. Youth hitting a self destructive wall and going out of control ending in a blaze
Like yesterday i searched up to see if they reacted to this and here it is a day later!
Kevin singing "24k magic in the aaair" is my religion
Been waiting for this!
triple h need to make a comeback ASAP!!
I admit I was confused when I watch it the first time. But after thinking about it and watching it again .. it felt different. That MV is deep and definetely ask analyze.
Every time a reactor mentions a reference (24k magic) to a kpop song (fresh), I tend to wonder which came first.
24k came out in 2016 while 365 came out in 2017
Please react to Pentagon's Shine. aAAaaAAaA i'm so addicted to that song right now dayum.
AM I DREAMIIIIING!?!?
I LOVE PENTAGON & HYUNA & ONBVIOUSLY TRIPLE H
OMG
-tries to calm dowm-
Already 1 year 😭💖💖💖😱😱😱
Coming back to this video after Hyuna and Edawn left cube makes me so nostalgic, Triple H was such a wild ride and I loved it
So much, and I hope you have a wonderful day.
Yesterday I literally was JUST thinking about them possibly reacting to this song
i missed you guys i feel like it has been long time any way Hiiii ^_^
yeah!! I miss you all so much. I'm about leaning music so because of you all ❤️❤️❤️
IVE WAITED 50 YEARS FOR THE TRIPLE H REACTION
I love how they actually have opinions on the music Ik that’s what a reaction is but most times people don’t 😂
I love this MV so much tbh, btw why Hui is so handsome? 😍 and Hyuna is gorgeous. The song is goooood.
I knew Kevin would love this. Bother the music and the video. I was hoping someone else would get all the video references and why it connects with the song. Because now I feel old, lol. Isaac definitely wouldn't like Troublemaker's Now and potentially BTS' I Need U.
Yes!!! Triple H 😍🔥
I HAVE BEEN WAITING
usually they talk more about the musical aspect and here it's more about the MV... honestly the MV is not innapropriate. there is a point to this storytelling
Just saying Park Hyo Shin's got a new song again called Other Day. It's soooo beautiful.
OMGGGGG TRIPLE H!!!! (React to dean pls.)
yasss deann!!!!!
YASS PLS
They already did :)
I was screaming the whole time i was watching this video my hearts beating too fast
This is quite clearly a Tarantino movie about how mafia-Hui adopted a stray-accidental-murdered (who killed an abuser) and a stray-suicidal-junkie before they went on a Thelma and Louise-like adventure. There are important themes here, and the contrast is smart imo.
HYUNA! She's also a former member of Wonder Girls with Sunmi. Her music videos are always Rated19, she's a total risk taker and bad ass chic. React to Now and Troublemaker by her former group Troublemaker pleasssseee!!!!
