"SM isreally out here thinking they're Marvel... putting a post credit scene on a 10min video" lmaooooo the scream I let out cuz they really carried with this whole production
If you check their Tokyo Dome VCR, the GG donut spaceship came out from a sinkhole/blackhole same as the one in SMCU. SNSD might have been stuck in other universe.
The Boys kind of had lore - my headcanon is that they are princesses of this universe that have to break out of their fairytales through different worlds idk
why does everyone just hate the "beat drop" part I love it I'm obsessed, maybe its cause I love I Got A Boy, Red Light, and Zimzalabim. SM girl groups just hit different
Honestly the song is a grower. SM song are sometimes like that to me, when i first heard it i was like "uhm, no" but when i try to hear it more, i would like it and eventually love it. I like the "I'm on the next level" part but the song as a whole, i still need time to process the song :")
I said that for Rookie when it came out. Like right after Russian Roulette I’m like this ain’t it but then I start humming it and it just got stuck in my head
Winter not only looks like taeyeon she even sings like her!! She was incredible in this cb I thought ningning was my bias and karina was bwrecker but yea this just flipped that. Winter just overtook ningning and cemented herself there. Karina is still bw...
I am a Winter stan from teasers in Black Mamba. But Karina was just pure awesome in Next Level. Her aura is just so too much for me, I can't take my eyes off her.
@@labelleamelie5167 that's what I thought as well. But it's kinda weird that it's still part of the official audio release. But if it is a different song, then maybe they will release a standalone version of Next Level along with the other songs (But the current version is growing on me). Still, that song insert doesn't mix well unlike how IGAB was. The one in IGAB is actually made for the song, so it mixes well and can be removed if needed. But the one in Next Level straight up sounded weird to me. But who knows what SM is up to these days HAHAHAHA
The one thing SM does right is giving the experimental pieces to the girl groups cuz I swear they're the only ones able to pull stuff like this and make people love it. I got a boy, Red light, Zinzalabim and Next Level are all songs that would have flopped straight away have they been done by a bg
12:12 It’s kind of distinct how Winter says “level” since she enunciates both Es the same way. It sounds kinda robotic so it’s pretty appropriate to their concept.
Aespa's Next Level reminds me so much of SM style, like it has so many changes in the song that shocks you, but omg it works! This is probably why I respect SM artists and their music, they aren't afraid to make something new in Kpop and make it work.
personally i agree that they were going for the sm style, but i feel like the transitions between the beat drop and the rest of the song were really weird and not cohesive :( i love zimzalabim and i got a boy but really couldn't get into next level unfortunately
@@mariaelenamattone5221 i think the transitions weren't cohesive as well, but I really enjoyed it regardless because I loved both sections of the song so much. My main issue was the transition between giselle & karina's rap back to the original section of the song, that part still doesn't sound the best to me, but i enjoy both sections a lot so I don't mind it considering it's only like 2 second portion
This song reminds me so much of Nct 127 kick it. Like the song has this transitions from the first part which is the chorus and tgen to haechan and jungwoos part which at firat confused me a lot because of the sudden shift but them the more I litened to it, it stuck on me and it start to make sense.
It does not "work" . They still sound like 2 different songs. Working implies that the 2 songs while, drastically different, seem cohesive and you think " man i would have never thought these go together but they do"....You can like both parts of the song. I like both parts....but they don't go together/are still 2 different songs with no attempt to TRY to make them go together.
I do think Next Level is arranged in a less cohesive way than both IGAB and Zimzalabim, but I do love all the parts of the song, and I can't stop listening to it 😂
It is SUCH a perplexing song but I too went from nearly hating it to absolutely loving it. Even with all the crazy transitions. They genuinely gave us an entire EP in one song. 🤣
I like that this song's structure is different (SM's style) and I love that aespa are going against the norms! aespa = the future of music & experiences!!!
Pls I was waiting for this! I love that song so much it’s like crack to me lmao. The beat drop part reminds me of tvxq “spell bound”. Especially winters vocals, it just screams sm taste.
Please, I love Stayc so much! ASAP, their second song, some people were not keen on, but I LOVED it. Taemin's "Advice" is gold. Can't wait for Everglow. Thank you as always, Loser of Drag Race Season 7.
YES! It's really how Winter says 'level' that made me kept listening to the song then eventually liking it to the point that I don't mind the sudden change anymore LMAO
it took me a while to get used to the swing section too. Although, it helped me a lot to think about it in the sense of how it relates to the lore and the video. if you noticed, we get to see our first glimpse of naevis right as the swing section starts, indicating that everything from there on until the music changes back takes place (in universe) within the KWANGYA. I think its safe to say that the KWANGYA is fairly different from the REAL WORLD, which would provide a very clear explanation for the drastic change in tempo and tone, once the section starts. Then, as the swing section ends, we have Karina stating very clearly " This is the REAL WORLD, I am awake." Indicating that they are no longer within the KWANGYA. Personal theory of mine, but from the line quoted above I believe that in order for the REAL WORLD versions of the girls to be able to be within the KWANGYA, they must upload their consciousness' into their ae's, essentially having their bodies enter a "sleep-like" state. This also seems to be supported by the fact that within the swing section, the girls "glitch" into their ae's, indicating the presence of two consciousnesses within one "physical" body. (physical body as in, the ae's body that exists within the FLAT. )
yesss winter supremacy! honestly, i love the song lol i understand how the tempo change can be jarring for people and that the lyric references to the lore are... a lot to take in but i like it more than black mamba
The way that you say "Hi Winter" with a smile on your face reminds me of when a new SNSD mv would drop and you could help but say hi to them individually whenever they popped up on screen haha
We wanted an album so SM gave us three songs in one. I think it’s kinda genius, we’ll never hesr enough of the same song for us to get tired of it. It enters my list of strange addictions along with IGAB, Red Light and Zimzalabim
When I first heard this song I was like nooo ty, then I watched it again and it got stuck in my head so I listened to it again and again and now I love it
I would LOVE to see you react to K/DA I feel aespa's concept is very similar to what K/DA does twice and 2 members from G-Idle (soyeon & miyeon) have been in their songs
I want to hate this song so bad because so many aespects (lol) of makes me mad but I can't lie the damn "im on the next level" line has been stuck in my head for the last few days...
i would normally not like a song like this but idk why this is such a bop to me, they somehow made it work edit: also im sick n tired of their singles tho when will they release an album w more than one song enough of these singles
lmaoo the new member rumor was leaked along by a pre debut insider with them accurately describing the debut song's parts,, apparently aespa would be ot7 at least
The problem is that the professor has an ae which maybe connected to the hacking of ae. That was why the girls needed to go to different levels fighting or finding out the real enemy. Meanwhipe naevis serves as the director of aespa, but not aespa member herself. Like charlie to the angels, nick fury to avengers.
Next Level's like the fourth member of SM's experimental girl group songs family: I Got A Boy, Red Light, Zimzalabim.
it's like f(x)'s entire discography as I saw in twitter 😂😂😂
With the songs in that order is like it's going downhill 🤣
Am I the only one who liked Red Light? It was different but it was catchy and it wasn't all over the place in my opinion unlike Next Level and IGAB
@@4evawoohoo no, not only you
that song is honestly perfect
@@4evawoohoo Red Light's AMAZING! One of my all-time favorite K-Pop songs.
"SM isreally out here thinking they're Marvel... putting a post credit scene on a 10min video" lmaooooo the scream I let out cuz they really carried with this whole production
Id die for snsd members to be a part of this smcu thing
One hyoe stan said that it'll be cool if hyo was like an original æ that got banned or forgotten and is coming back for revenge 😳
If you check their Tokyo Dome VCR, the GG donut spaceship came out from a sinkhole/blackhole same as the one in SMCU. SNSD might have been stuck in other universe.
Your pfp 😭😂
The Boys kind of had lore - my headcanon is that they are princesses of this universe that have to break out of their fairytales through different worlds idk
But wasn't Taeyeon in the ending of black mamba video? 🤔
why does everyone just hate the "beat drop" part I love it I'm obsessed, maybe its cause I love I Got A Boy, Red Light, and Zimzalabim. SM girl groups just hit different
same!!! I love that part so much!!
I prefer pretty harmonies
Me too i love it, regardless of the mixed reviews,
Same. I think that is the best part.
I don't hate it but I wish it was a whole separate song bc I love it so much that now I need a full version ;;
Honestly the song is a grower. SM song are sometimes like that to me, when i first heard it i was like "uhm, no" but when i try to hear it more, i would like it and eventually love it. I like the "I'm on the next level" part but the song as a whole, i still need time to process the song :")
I said that for Rookie when it came out. Like right after Russian Roulette I’m like this ain’t it but then I start humming it and it just got stuck in my head
the second listen nailed it for me
Had the same experience. The Next Level part of the song grew on me...but i still see the middle part as the least cohesive part of the song.
Same, I hate it but it was stuck on my head for a few days. I was like man this song is soooooo long. And now I love it lol
"Get outta here virtual people, I'm sick of you" that, I felt that
IM SO DOOOOOONE, WHEN YOU EDIT TELLING THAT YOU CHANGED THE OPINION. I screamed so hard
Ahahhahaha
NAHQHQQHAHA LMAO SAMEEEE
I knew that he was going to hate it at first and then love it because he loved I got a boy, Sherlock, Red Light and Zimzalabim
the whole karina looking at her ae scene got me feeling like girls generation run devil run story version
It's like they inserted a random BoA and TVXQ song in the middle lol. It's essentially 3 songs put together
Winter not only looks like taeyeon she even sings like her!! She was incredible in this cb
I thought ningning was my bias and karina was bwrecker but yea this just flipped that. Winter just overtook ningning and cemented herself there. Karina is still bw...
Winter era!!!
Giselle era (Professor!)
Ning ning still my bias and karinas bias wrecker but winters voice slayed here! I love ningnings red hair with the dress
I am a Winter stan from teasers in Black Mamba. But Karina was just pure awesome in Next Level. Her aura is just so too much for me, I can't take my eyes off her.
@Skyler Keck i'm not surprised... i have friends who doesn't see any similarity between taemin and jaejoong
Karina's scene is a throwback to the last scene from the Black Mamba MV.
And yes, it's the same song. It's pulling an "IGAB" moment haha
It's not, people are saying it may be a glimpse at a b side on their album
@@labelleamelie5167 that's what I thought as well. But it's kinda weird that it's still part of the official audio release.

i looove Dylan's genuine reaction nothing exaggerated. that face expression is so honest lol

3 songs in one is SM's style. Let's not forget GG "I Got A Boy"
12:12 It’s kind of distinct how Winter says “level” since she enunciates both Es the same way. It sounds kinda robotic so it’s pretty appropriate to their concept.
i love the way she says it, it's addicting kkkkkk
@@moonlightbae2879 LOL OMG same so catchy
That's so smarttt
YOUR REACTION IS SO FUNNY I CAN’T
I DIED
lmao someone on twitter said winter says next level with a russian accent and it's all i hear
LMAO now that you said it..
Next level being one of the most chaotic releases of 2021 yet the most iconic and best. I remember not liking it at first but it’s really catchy

i really liked this song first listen but it was a little confusing on the changes but after a couple listens it GREW on me so much i loveee it
when he changed his opinion omg i can't---
I do think Next Level is arranged in a less cohesive way than both IGAB and Zimzalabim, but I do love all the parts of the song, and I can't stop listening to it 😂
Honestly one of the funniest reaction videos you've done this made me laugh so hard I had to stop the video multiple times to focus again
Plss react to all GFRIEND MV sadly they recently ended their contracts with their company but their music is so good 😊
uppp
up up up up up
Uppppp
Upupup
Icb I found out they disbanded from this comment 😭
Great video!!!
Editing was perfect like always!
Keep up the good work dylan we really appreciate it!!!
"Winter looks like Taeyeon in some scenes" RIGHT????
2:14 everyone does XD even fans and idols pronounced level the way winter pronounced it
it's so satisfying omg
I’ve been waiting for thissssss
omg hi (almost) pfp twin
EDITING DYLAN TOOK ME TF OUT HAHAHAHA, you knew you'd flip SM blood ruins in your veins boy
I love it from the first listen because it sounds so different
never ever clicked this fast on a video. thanks for the reaction :)
It is SUCH a perplexing song but I too went from nearly hating it to absolutely loving it. Even with all the crazy transitions. They genuinely gave us an entire EP in one song. 🤣
Winter's NEXTDDD LEVUHL is really iconic 😂
I like that this song's structure is different (SM's style) and I love that aespa are going against the norms! aespa = the future of music & experiences!!!
It reminds me of I got a Boy! Really loved the song AND your reaction. I thought no one would say how winter looks like Taeyeon
Pls I was waiting for this! I love that song so much it’s like crack to me lmao. The beat drop part reminds me of tvxq “spell bound”. Especially winters vocals, it just screams sm taste.
Actually I love your backgrounds you so much ❤️
OMG I laughed so hard, Dylan always represents me, I hated it at first and now it's stuck in my head.
Not you dissing the song and then 5 seconds at the end: I love it 😂
Winter is my favorite, too! ^^
I'm really loving all the drag race memes and references Hahahaha
Absolutely love the song btw
Please, I love Stayc so much! ASAP, their second song, some people were not keen on, but I LOVED it. Taemin's "Advice" is gold. Can't wait for Everglow. Thank you as always, Loser of Drag Race Season 7.
Just saying, I love Next Level. I love the different parts and I am a bit obsessed to be honest.
YES! It's really how Winter says 'level' that made me kept listening to the song then eventually liking it to the point that I don't mind the sudden change anymore LMAO
The original Next level audio is without the weird part, so technically it is in fact two songs mixed together. xD
i loved this song bc i missed this experimental sm sound with the f(x) vibe
Lol, for me the second part after the "beat drop" is so gooooood. Giselle and Karina slaying those fire bars 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I've been waiting for this!!❤❤
This song is a BOPPPPPPPP idc what people say. I was iffy on it in the beginning but after i listened like three times, i fell in love 😌
People are saying this is like IGAB but even IGAB’s transitions made more sense lol
I’m so glad you retracted your initial opinion. That was sooo funny! 🤣🤣🤣 i love the song!!!
it took me a while to get used to the swing section too. Although, it helped me a lot to think about it in the sense of how it relates to the lore and the video.

Yes !! You gonna love Stayc. I'm obsessed with them already 🥰
they added that weird beat drop to make the song sound different from the original fast and furious next level song lmao that's my theory haha
Interesting that this song is a remake of a OST from Hobbs + Shaw (Fast and Furious franchise)
yesss winter supremacy!
honestly, i love the song lol i understand how the tempo change can be jarring for people and that the lyric references to the lore are... a lot to take in but i like it more than black mamba
Hahaha I love how your opinion changed. Really enjoyed that at the end 😃😃😃
The way that you say "Hi Winter" with a smile on your face reminds me of when a new SNSD mv would drop and you could help but say hi to them individually whenever they popped up on screen haha
You're the only reactor i never skip the video...love U♥
Dylannnnn, our SM king.
Your reactions are so funny lol they are super honest
Fun fact: This is a cover of a song from The Fast and The Furious soundtrack
That is not a fact. It's not a cover, it's a remake.
They bought the song actually
YESSS STAYC I KNOW U WILL LOVE IT as always love ur reactions dylan
We wanted an album so SM gave us three songs in one.
I think it’s kinda genius, we’ll never hesr enough of the same song for us to get tired of it.
It enters my list of strange addictions along with IGAB, Red Light and Zimzalabim
Ifyou listen to it multiple times it just gets better and better and the shifts in tge song and transistions makes sense
Love your Genuine Reactions esp. SNSD, Red Velvet and Aespa ❤
yess the 10 minute film is soo good. we will prolly get the ep 2 during their second comeback
When I first heard this song I was like nooo ty, then I watched it again and it got stuck in my head so I listened to it again and again and now I love it
Actually, I got a boy by snsd enter the naver charts when next level came out lol
check out their covers on radio shows and knowing brothers! they are ALL amazing singers
Yasss you're here!!
we all said the same thing at first but believe me you will be "BEAT DROP NAEVIS CALLING" after some listens!
never mind, i just saw the update lmaoo
When you asked "Are they gonna add a new member? Who is that?", that was Giselle's ae and her voice saying "naevis calling".
Omg yes PLEASE react to stayc! Most importantly, So Bad, ASAP, and So What. They're soooo talented. Going places for sure
11.27 is my favoriteeee part omg im obsessed with her vocal
I died when you wanted to say “Hey” with the Black mamba intro
I’M WAITING FOR THAT STAYC REACTIONN
I THOUGHT OF SHERLOCK TOO I was really hoping the supposed upcoming album has a clue & note version for the two different songs, but I got used to it.
the way he says kwangwa instead of kwangya 😭
Lmao that change in opinion. That was me.
I am obsessed with it now as well...
I would LOVE to see you react to K/DA I feel aespa's concept is very similar to what K/DA does
twice and 2 members from G-Idle (soyeon & miyeon) have been in their songs
My favorite part of the song is the beat drop especially when their avatars come out.
This is my first time cannot choose bias.
In SNSD, RV and FX i got my bias. But aespa, seriously so hard to pick bias
I want to hate this song so bad because so many aespects (lol) of makes me mad but I can't lie the damn "im on the next level" line has been stuck in my head for the last few days...
i’m so sorry to tell u it’s one song lmao 😭 it’s personally really good to me but i can see why others don’t like it
same
Ahahaha your reaction. Also I can't wait for you to watch StayC
I CANT BREATHE I LOVE THE SONG SM
“no more plot”
*whole song is about the plot*
I literally have not played any other song since Next Level came out like it’s it for me.
Mix feelings on this song upon hearing!
Dylan!!! Winter is also my favorite and she really does look like Taeyeon!!
i would normally not like a song like this but idk why this is such a bop to me, they somehow made it work
edit: also im sick n tired of their singles tho when will they release an album w more than one song enough of these singles
i KNEW u would like this song omg
lmaoo the new member rumor was leaked along by a pre debut insider with them accurately describing the debut song's parts,, apparently aespa would be ot7 at least
I wish they did have 7 members. I feel like SM is gonna add members for their first album
The problem is that the professor has an ae which maybe connected to the hacking of ae. That was why the girls needed to go to different levels fighting or finding out the real enemy. Meanwhipe naevis serves as the director of aespa, but not aespa member herself. Like charlie to the angels, nick fury to avengers.
Check out Rocket Punch’s comeback “Ring Ring” for 80s goodness
I hope aespa will comeback with more unexpected but extremely cool song so I can watch your surprised reaction lol
I usually don't like songs with this type of beat and yet I ended up loving it in the first listen lmao
