you know, i used to work for a new york rock and metal label for two years, i studied music management, so at one point, the way that kpop distributed their albums and still selling 100k+ copies of physical albums was super interesting to me. so that's where i dove deeper into it and discovered not only bts but sold my heart to MONSTA X. bc their style is so unique and the way they excel st everything they do, without getting the recognition they deserve for it, is INSANE. they are from an indie label which doesn't have the ressources or the knowledge to promote monsta x worldwide - but if they did, and everyone who's ever listened to monsta x and their unique sound would agree with this, they would top the worldwide charts BY FAR. they deserve so much more. their talent and sound is IMPECCABLE and never been done before
You know their talent is underrated when the management of bigger groups nicks MX choreos for their groups because they know it will sell well... (happened to MX in 2016 already if I recall correctly)
@@constancegabriel-haevecker5912 Yeah I think it was fighter era, their choreo was stolen and didn't gave them any credits. They were always take the hate if they ever do something different and then stans would gave the flowers to others. IM CLAWING MY FACE THEY'RE SO FREAKING UNDERAPPRECIATED
ouh ma gosh I appreciate you so much for your kind and truthful words! And damn, you worked for a NY rock and metal label?? so cool! What was the first song you listen to of monsta x? whats your favorite song?? :D
The article you found was about Suga (from BTS) and Kihyun (from Monsta X) friendship. But they are completely different groups :) Thank you for reacting.
@@GKDLABELS That's true, no problem. BTS & Monsta X are very representative groups of kpop, but they have total different styles, being Monsta X more aggressive and somewhat sexier in some ways than BTS, and BTS being more Fresh/Flower boy and their sexiness can be appreciated differently, less straight forward. In terms of Music, well, they are both very diverse, but Monsta X has a distinctive heavy sound in general, while BTS is more "poppish" as you said.
Thank you for all for the info on my mistake on the members! I tried to do some research this time, but the article I read mislead me to believe those two members were in both groups. I am very sorry, but definitely enjoying and will continue my journey! Thankfully I have all you helping me get good info :) Keep the comments coming!
Shouldve been more careful tho. You dont even know how toxic SOME bts fans can be.. And if ever some of those toxic fans find this vid. They may end up attacking our boys over this.. Our boys Monsta X deserve nothing of such.
Monsta X has the best rapline, the best vocals and the best dancers. They're the full package. Beast mode and Be quiet live performances are epic!!! They're beasts on the stage. Greetings from Mexico.
Other than the mistake of the member mix-ups, you should definitely react to more Monsta X music! They are very versatile in song genre, and a lot of the members participate in their music and choreo. Fun fact: one of the rappers (the member in the beginning of the video, and who also did the high note after the dance break; his name is Joohoney) is the one who produced this title track for the mini-album.
Thanks! Yes I read an article that was clearly misleading in that. I even tried to do some research before hand, but it bit me in the butt. Thank you for the support though. Looking forward to more!
This isn't your typical kpop boy group. MX is intense and intimidating (but has softer tracks too!). They have this distinct color only them can pull off. Thanks for your reaction!
Welcome to the Monsta X black hole. 🤣🔥 You'll never escape now lol. Monsta X are the kings of edgy. No one else in kpop sounds like them. They are truly unique and they can do EVERY genre. Please check out their mvs for Alligator, Fantasia, Shoot Out, Follow, Beautiful and Love Killa. Monsta X is mainly known for their rap and edm based style. Thanks for the great reaction. 🔥
I find the dance practice for Jealousy so much better than the video, loads more details in the movements. The video for me is too fragmented with too many cuts and has no real concept.
About the BTS mixup, that’s fine don’t worry, kpop can be VERY confusing to someone who has nothing to do with it. Once you get in deeper you will understand that the term kpop is more like a term to describe the industry that music companies in Korea ‚produce‘. There are SO many different kpop groups with different concepts out there, you will never know them all or watch all their music. For the genre itself, kpop groups do whatever genre they like. There‘s a girlgroup who do songs that are close to goth rock music. Their name is Dreamcatcher by the way. BTS is just the most famous kpop Group and most members of different groups know each other, some are even friends, they see each other on music shows and award stages and share waiting rooms and stuff. Monsta X are pretty unique though. We started to refuse to call them a boygroup. They’re a men group. All of them were born between 1992-1996 so they’re adults and they don‘t hesitate to do their thing. They often have some sort of storyline in their music videos and this song actually was written, composed and arranged by their main rapper Joohoney (the vesper martini guy). It‘s hard to explain much about them, they seem very bad boy-ish, energetic and maybe even scary but honestly if you know them better behind the scenes all of them are humble, nice, caring and sweet. They care a lot for each other and their fans and they never take anything for granted. You need to see Love Killa and Hero by them I think.
because they are all adults they can't be called a boygroup? Isn't that the case for all 3rd gen and older kpop groups ? Or is it because they have a more manly style ?
@@-amel-9896 it’s just a term the fandom uses not an actual term. We say that because they don’t have the usual boygroup style and are more mature not necessarily because they’re adults, we just don’t really like to address them as ‘boys’
@@doriegom8250 i wouldn't call their style more "mature" but it's just more "harsh" and intensive. There's many kpop groups like that these days, especially among boygroups. They just don't have the happy bubbly kpop style, but this style is starting to be less prominent among boygroups. these days, with the exceptions of maybe bts, txt, seventeen astro and a few others, boygroups all do the hard hitting dark "noisy" type of style which monsta x embody a lot. Calling them a "men group" because they don't have light concepts is kind of weird because it's basically calling the groups with light happy concept childish. Being happy and fun has no age. girlgroups have always done that kind of concept, and we don't call the groups who don't do it "women group". I know yall didn't mean it like that but it looks like it has mysoginistic undertones.
@@-amel-9896 What are you talking about? This "men group" is something used by some monsta x fans, because their age is 26 to 30 years old. Each fandom has its codes and jokes, this is ours. Do you like Monsta X? You know that they have music with cute and light concept too, right? ♡ The account above did not say anything offensive for you to give an angry answer and belittle our group. Of course Monsta x is still unique, you know why? Because groups started using monsta x as an example of a concept to get listeners' attention!! Jyp has done a lot of that, using monsta x video to show a group of them how to get "inspired". No wonder that now as you said that there are several groups that do what monsta X does but Monsta X is unique, and gambler was the proof of that.
They are not bts bts is friends the monsta x members.Monsta x is so different and unique kpop group they are all members are so talented that high note hit the our main Rapper jooheon and he composed write this song you should more react to monsta x they are never ever disappointed you i will suggest you LOVE KILLA and FANTASIA
Please react to more Monsta X MVs. They never disappoint! May i suggest: LOVE KILLA SHOOTOUT ALIGATOR FANTASIA FOLLOW Monsta X has everything: the vocals, their rap duo is insane, the energy, the visuals, versatility! Thank you for your reaction!!!❤
Thank you for enjoying Monsta X! Their music is soooo different from the usual Kpop, they do their own songs. If you watch most of their MVs, they are all like mini movies...super lit and Monsta X is One of the Kind!
Dude you gotta listen to their other songs like Love Killa, Fantasia, Follow, Alligator. Monsta X is whole GENRE themselves. Even among other Korean Idols. The one who produce this is the guy at the start saying “if you don’t know, now you know”. He is Jooheon. He is a rapper with big interest in MJ. Which is why you can detect that MJ vibe in the song. Trust me listen to their songs. React to them and see how blown off you’ll feel. I’ll say it again. They are a whole different GENRE by themselves. Anyway love your reaction and comments. Subscribed 🤟🏼
MX very versatile and their energy and style are not like others, I don’t know how else to explain 😁but , you just need to listen more their songs , and you will understand what I'm talking about 😎.
nice catch, Joohoney wrote/composed and produced this song, his greatest influence and idol is Michael Jackson actually. Also if you want to see them really put rock and rap together please watch Joohoney and I.M's Sambakja stage (eng subtitles ver)🔥
Hey honestly yeah there was a mix up on members but I'm so happy you accidently ended up on Monsta X. They are vastly different from BTS and gives you a good taste of what else kpop offers. Monsta X tends to have heavier bass and a more intense sound than BTS which lately has been more of a light dance genre. Feel free to ask Monbebe more about MX. The fandrom is really nice!
Thank you for coming to Monsta X 🔥 Talking about friendship, not only Suga with Kihyun, Hyungwon and Jhope was joining the same dancing's class in their hometown. Also Jin, Suga, Jhope with Jooheon (you'll find fancam about them being know each other). I remember Shownu said "being idol its not a competition, they are all friend not enemy".
JOOHONEY THE MAIN RAPPER IN BLACK HAIR THAT ALSO BELTS THESE VOCALS PRODUCED THIS SONG! HE PRODUCED OVER 120 SONGS FOR MONSTA X AND THIS IS HIS TITLE TRACK! bts has nothing to do with monsta x though, kihyun from monsta x and suga from bts are friends yes, but they ain't part of the same group!
If you really like it, I recommend: Monsta X - “WANTED”, “LOVE KILLA”, “SHOOT OUT” Wonho (ex MX’s member) - “LOSE” Joohoney (MX’s rapper) - “PSYCHE” I.M (MX’s rapper) - “GOD DAMN” Also they have an album ENTIRELY in english - Monsta X “ALL ABOUT LOVE” (11 tracks). It blew up the billboard, all the songs are beyond praise. “BESIDE YOU” has feat. Pitbull Music video from this album: “YOU CAN’T HOLD MY HEART”, “MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT”, “SOMEONE’S SOMEONE”, “WHO DO YOU LOVE” Monsta X, Sebastian Yatra “MAGNETIC” in english+spanish Steve Aoki, Monsta X “PLAY IT COOL” in eng. MV is amazing too New song - Monsta X “Secrets” in eng. I.M (MX’s rapper), Elhae - “HORIZON” in eng. I.M - “HOWLIN” in eng. Snoop Dogg, Monsta X - “How we do” OST to Sponge Bob movie 😹 Ex member Wonho has several songs in eng: “LOSE eng ver”, “OPEN MIND eng ver”, “WENEED”, “LOSING YOU” Wonho, Kiiara - “AIN’T ABOUT YOU”. Music video is so good, they are both awesome
Oh I understand why you might have mixed up the members because Suga and Kihyun are good friends+knew each other since pre-debut! I'm glad it led to you falling down the Monsta X rabbit hole because they're truly a versatile and unique group. They're in control of a lot of creative aspects regarding their image+concept and their influence is seen in a lot of 4th gen boy groups! Whether it be Korean, Japanese, or English, they excel in all 3 languages and you'll never get bored. Their b-sides are some of the most diverse I've ever heard in a kpop group so you'll definitely find something for every genre!
If u wanna listen to them more, MonstaX have a full english album called All About Luv ft french montana, william, and pitbull. Also they have a collab with Steve Aoki called Play it cool. These boys are also under Epic Records for western promotions. If u want to check out their eng songs, Play It Cool ft Steve Aoki and Who Do U Love ft French Montana would be the best options (but fyi, their eng songs are mostly 80s 90s vibes and slower rnb songs than korean ones.) Or for korean MV , Love Killa, Shoot Out, Dramarama, Fantasia or Beautiful are the ones
First MONSTA X and BTS are two different groups thank you And I like your reaction of monsta x 💖 Count me in a journey of monsta x forever no matter what
I'm Army since 2016 (BTS's fandom name) and I'm a Monbebe (Monsta X's fandom name) since 2015. Both of them really another level with another styles. Monsta X's vocalists and rappers are no joke.
I was confused by the beginning of the video re: BTS members in Monsta X?! But I realize this is the beginning of your journey. Monsta X sound is unique & slaps hard. They are beast idols-Men. They’re popular with westerners. They deserve so much more recognition but they’re from a smaller agency. They’re growth is 100% organic by talent. I hope you check out more of MX cuz they have great songs like Shoot Out , Alligator and English songs are super impressive Play It Cool, from their all ENGLISH album CHARTED #5 on BB:Middle of the Night and Who Do You Love
you should react to the mini album!!! and thanks for the reaction ^^ they’re one of the best kpop groups and his discography is a chef kiss, if you liked them you won’t regret listen to their songs ♡
Thank you for this video, I liked hearing about how you're exploring the K-pop genre and open to listening to music from different countries and genres. It's nice that you also talked about the visual details as well as the sounds. Did you know Monsta X are brand ambassadors for Urban Decay cosmetics? The make-up goes well with the strong colours. As a fan, I'm happy to see people enjoying the song and interested in listening to the group's music. (P.S. I.M. - the rapper in the red jacket - made an E.P. 'Duality'. The lead song is 'God Damn' and has a very different vibe to MX)
At least the mix-up led you to discover Monsta X! haha! I hope you check more out from them, I think you'll really like it! They're one of the most talented and unique groups, and really helped shape the newer generation of KPOP with their sound & style!
thanks so much for checking them out!! monsta x are seriously such an amazing and flexible group, their titles are normally edgy, mature and sexy and just overall beasts while their b sides have something for everything! they’re the one group that i absolutely fall in love with every track in the album. imo the duo rapline Joohoney (the one who starts the song “if you don’t know now you know) and I.M (the “don’t you wanna feel alive) are some of the most top tier rapline in the industry. their energy off of each other is just so good!! and the vocal lines between the rest of the members are so strong and unique! Also in regards to the MV: the members are finding ways to get into this secret auction to steal what looks to be a powerful / expensive jewel. Jooheon impersonates the auctioneer to direct the pace while the rest of the members buy time on the table until the blackout device goes out. that’s when they make their move and slip away either as undercover or pretending to be SWAT ~
Thanks a lot for your reaction to them! No problem for the misunderstanding about the groups. I hope you will react more to MonstaX, I recommend you Love Killa, Shoot out, Dramarama and Follow. You will notice that they have a "bad boy" vibe and more "into your face" kind of music, but they have an entire English album too (some songs of the album that have an mv: who do you love, middle of the night, you can't hold my heart) that have a different vibe and other songs too in korean more chill (some: Find u, all in) and not agressive. They are really versatile even though they are well known for their more aggressive style. I appreciate so much what you said about makeup and style, it is something that usually in western countries is unusual for men. I find it fascinating too, and above all style and makeup are not one gender property. I follow a lot of kpop groups and all of them make more than one album a year, Monsta sometimes make 3 albums a year too! It is difficult for me but I can't imagine how hard it is for them to keep up, I appreciate a lot that they make music for us so often but I know that that is really hard and stressing for them. A lot of groups (Monsta too) make japanese comebacks too and promote overseas, more work for them. In addition they have to promote their songs for weeks and even make different shows, lives... in order to stay close to their fans. They can't date (publicly), they have to keep their image...they are really stressed. Thanks again!
Appreciate BTS as the gateway group to KPOP and you are right KPOP has so much more to offer than what you have heard from them so far. Monsta X is an example---their sound is diverse across their Korean and English albums to be characterized as just one genre. There are so many other awesome groups that KPOP, or rather K-Music has to offer and what you have seen and heard is just a tip of the iceberg.
Haha, that mix up was so funny, i was like wut did i just hear 😅 Still glad it took you here! I hope you can find out a lot more about monstax and other kpop groups alongside bts but i also know that it is a LOT. And i mean really a LOT. I got aquaintanced with bts as my first kpop group in 2019 and I feel like i still only know SO little about the most well known and popular kpop groups 🙈😅 So yeah, don't feel any pressure and continue watching what you love best of what you discover of kpop! Some other groups I enjoy would be Exo, Stray kids, Cix, Nct, Mamamoo, Shinee, Ateez, Day6 and N.flying so it be cool if you could maybe try out some of their stuff at some point! Still hope of course that you can enjoy getting to know some more bts songs as well! Have fun either way 🤗😁
Monsta X is a group that known for their masculinity. But, at the same time their songs basically screams Monsta X tho. No matter how many songs they released each of them have this distinct sound that shows "this is monsta X song" no matter what genre they are. Songs like Dramarama and Shoot Out are the type of songs that promotes them as the "monster group" with this bad boy vibes while songs like Jealousy, Love Killa and Gambler itself are leaning towards the concept of being dangerous sexy guys, them being a men group instead of boy group lol 😂 Also the same for Wjsn, a girl group from their company. Wjsn is also known for their songs having this distinct synth sound in all of their songs especially the title track. Their songs are basically sounds mystical which fits their concept as Cosmic Girl (Reccomending Secret, Save Me Save You, Dreams Come True, La La Love and As You Wish). But they also open to try other concept such as women crush which is more feminine and matured for example, their latest song Unnatural and debut song of their 2nd sub-unit which is Easy by Wjsn The Black.
Monsta X wear leather pants more often than not 😂 You def. should check out more of their discography (I recommend Alligator, Follow, Stuck, Shoot Out, Hero and any other of their videos) and most definitely some of their dance practices (def. Alligator, the dance practice for the SBS performance of All In, Jealousy, Shoot Out costume version, Stuck and Beastmode, Dramarama) and then have a run with it and become a new Monbebe, too 😅. Fantasia is as the name implies a fantasy composition, including different styles, too. And they often use external sounds like a roar, car engine sounds, guns reloading, ad libs etc. like Depeche Mode did in the early days, very much EDM/industrial EDM heavy. The time travel storyline connects different videos, Find You, Destroyer and Dramarama. Sambakja live is extremely good if you want to get a feel for what is maybe or rather definitely (!) the best rap duo in K-Pop atm (Jooheon and I.M.). Also, Hyungwon has been DJing at concerts as DJ H.One, check out the live We Are Here Seoul 2019. Maybe check out Wonho's Lose and Open Mind, too. He's a former MX member, now solo artist. Monsta X is my first venture into K-Pop and I have been a complete Monbebe since. Gambler is also the first title song that was written by the main rapper Jooheon. In K-Pop, men are wearing makeup, multiple earrings, coloured lenses and bright hair colours as normal attire. It is artsy and in contrast to the traditional Korean concept of manliness/gender in society. Two of the singers in MX (and probably in many other K-Pop bands) were actually chosen and are still often labeled as "visuals" in addition to vocalists because they are so "beautiful"/ethereal/what Westerners would label as "feminine"/effeminate. When you look at the main target age group (pree-teens and teens) for K-Pop fandoms and with many trainees debuting as early as 13, it makes sense that men are not really "manly men" but softer versions and less threatening in their manliness aka more approachable and fantasy-friendly. Also, MX are openly supportive of LGBTQIA and manliness and gender for them is a fluid concept. 🏳🌈
Monsta X is a group so different from the other ones. They're pretty popular for their dark concepts and hard sounds but they're so much more than this!! you should check out these mv: love killa alligator find you fantasia follow all in stuck dramarama wanted spotlight x-phenomenon you should also check their dance practice 'cause their lit!!! 🔥🔥🔥 and there are also some live performances like: u r lost in the dream beastmode + live killa (mama 2020) joohoney + im - no competition kihyun - bad joohoney + im - sambakja live versace on the floor how long - hyungwon + im myself - hyungwon + kihyun + minhyuk THEY'RE AMAZING! last things: joohoney (main rapper) has a mixtape called psyche and also some mv (psyche, smoky, red carpet and others) im (the other rapper) has a solo album and the track song is called god damn (it has a mv too) and also a mixtape with other mv kihyun and minhyuk (two of the vocalists) have a lot of covers and songs too, you're gonna easily find them if you search their names on yt joohoney and Im also have a mv together, the song is BeMyFriend i promise you'll never get disappointed with these men!!! they are FIRE. and they have the BEST rap line ever. ❤️
If you like mash up try to listen Monsta X - X Phenomenon. Spoiler, it's like 3 songs mash up in 1 song but it's not. It is 1 song. X Phenomenon is Monsta X 's Japanese song
This is what I found online from an article from July 2020. Is this not correct? "Not all fans know, but BTS and MONSTA X are connected through two members: Suga and Kihyun! They may not shout out their love for each other to the world, but their closeness was seen in a number of ways since both of their debuts. Check out some of their rare public friendship moments below!"
@@GKDLABELS Just like what others have commented here, BTS and Monsta X are completely different groups. That article you found is basically talking about the longtime friendship between Suga (from BTS) and Kihyun (from Monsta X). They've been friends before either of them had debuted in their respective groups.
My cousin said he dislikes this vid because you mistakenly mix up the members but he said he still love the video other than that, we support you :> If you want to know more about monsta x and like their music you should also react to their other songs :> Go king!
what do you mean he "wishes" ?? it's the opposite lmao, any monsta x member would wish he was in their group. The man is living his best life in the biggest group in the planet, making his own music with his own style. I've never seen any group members being as happy and confortable as being in their own group like te bts members are, he is like in love with his band mates that he has known for over 10 years for some of them.
@@-amel-9896 I like them in their each groups (although seeing Suga and Ki pick on each other would be funny). I think like BTS, monsta x is comfortable with each other (both groups have brotherly relationships with their respective members). As well as the music they make
Check out more Monsta X. Love Killa, Fantasia, Follow, etc.,on back to their 2015 debut plus their Japanese vids. They're not your standard kpop band with the cute and colorful vibe, but they can give you that, too!
You will never get bored with Monsta X. I love that these boys are so versatile and can rock any song. They blew my mind every come back. Love your reaction. Thank you
yo, I loved your reaction and i really like your personality, you come up with so many aspects that i just can't agree more, like you said "not just listening for the music", but the video in its aesthetics ("the visual cues") is also THE THING. so relatable!
Hi! I loved your video, you didn't only talk about the music, but included your opinion about other topics. Can you react to NCT please? It is a group with 23 members lol. But they are divided in subunits. A couple of months ago they had a comeback with ALL the members. The song is called "Resonance". They are one of the most coordinated groups in dancing of all the industry (in my opinion). Imagine coordinating 23 guys!
I like to watch people's experience with K-pop from the start, so I think it's important to see how somebody like you (or me when I first came upon kpop) breaks down the misconceptions and assumptions that we have going into another country's music industry like this. I think it's somewhat of a happy accident that you ended up checking out Monsta X as they are a completely different style and sound to BTS, especially the brighter songs BTS have been promoting recently. I am glad you weren't turned off or pushed away entirely by the difference in beauty standards and the initial frustration of fans who didn't understand that this was you trying to process something completely new and different. When you say that genre mashups are one of your favorite things, I fist pumped the air because that is what is most interesting about k-pop to me is just the insane variety in instruments, languages, rhythm patterns, singing styles, and production techniques mixed together in so many cool ways. I will try to watch your reactions in order to see how your relationship with K-pop progresses, and I just wanted to say thank you for pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone because K-Pop is a BOTTOMLESS well of incredibly talented attractive people making super interesting music, and it has changed my life. Sincerely, A Straight White American Male K-Pop Fan who experienced what you are experiencing about 2 years ago
This whole song was put together, the composition, writing, production everything was done by one of the members, JOOHONEY. It was his first production and he definitely rocked the whole industry!!!
I am really happy that you reacted to Monsta x, they are a fantastic group that truely needs to be listened to more. They are so good and really deserve more attention. I kinda laughed a bit when you said the Suga was in group too, but kpop is another world to be in and you learn as you go. Kihyun ,Suga and Jooheon are good friends and Hyungwon and Jhope are friends from their school days so there are friendships between the 2 groups. Also Monsta x debuted as 7, but due to false accusation Wonho stepped down from group so as not to drag his brothers down, Even after it was proven that he was innocent he still couldnt rejoin his brothers because toxic fans still throwing hate at him which might affect the group. He did come back as a soloist and is still under the Starship company umbrella in Highline which is a sub . You should also check his music . He has had two comeback since he returned with 2 album . Check out Losing You, Open Mind, Lose. Ain't About You , Weneed and so many more off both of his albums. He also did a beautiful cover of I Love You by Billie Ellish. Again thank you so much for finding them even if its by mistake. Like Joohonney said If you don't know Now you Know :) I really liked your reaction and will be subscribing :)
Hello i hope you react to more monsta x so you will get familiarized with the members. You will not regret it!!♡ thanks for reacting first time to monsta
Thankyou so much for reacting to Monsta X! They have many songs in different languages and genres. They even have a full English album called All About Luv, with collaborations with Pitbull, French Montana and Will.i.am! Please react to them some more!
I realize you may have been misinformed, but I am SO glad you decided to react!! MonstaX are well-rounded and an extremely talented group, with a sound all on their own!! Get ready for a deep dive into their discography!! I recommend Lost in the Dream, Rodeo, Oh My, Myself, Sambakja for starters!!
Yesss Monsta XXXXX You should check out some other Monsta X songs, like Beautiful or Alligator. I think you’d also like NCT, there’s a lot to learn with them but check out their songs 90s Love, Kick It and Hot Sauce if you want to go further down the rabbit hole haha... NCT, MONSTA X and SHINee are my ult groups 🥰
I am SO happy you have entered the world of Monsta X, even if it was by accident haha. But you know what, everything happens for a reason! I echo what others have said here, KPop as a genre is so versatile, any genre you can think of there'll be a KPop song somewhere that will incorporate it in to theirs. Even individual groups go through a variety of concepts and evolution in their music. So you'll never get bored! BTS's earlier music is vastly different to what they're doing nowadays. Monsta X are known for being an edgy more grittier group. I'd love to see more Monsta X and KPop reactions in general 😊
Love Monsta X they do this type of music so well, glad you enjoyed it. TXT just released an amazing song as well called "0x1=Love song" that I think you would like it.
Monsta X is a badass group, please react to more songs like Shoot out, Alligator, Dramarama, Jealousy, Fantasia and for their full English releases Someone's Someone, Who do you love, Play it cool. FYI, a member left in 2019 so older releases have 7 members, newer ones have 6. And in their English releases the main rapper joins the vocal line so don't get confused :D looking forward to more Monsta X reactions!
You need to see more monsta x for sure. Let me give you an extra info about them, there was a member named " wonho" you'll see him in some videos specially old ones but you wont see him in new ones because he left the group. He is a soloist now if you wanna check him too. This was just a short info to make it a little bit easy for you, kpop could be soo confusing. Anyways, please react to Monsta X - Love Killa mv and also please react to a guide to them it would help you to knpw them better and probably to like them more. And except monsta x, please check other kpop groups too. Here are some of my favorities VIXX- Fantasy mv ( one of the most unique group of kpop, known as Concept Kings. If you wanna see an mv looks like a movie this is the group you are looking for) VERIVERY- Get Away mv ( again one of the most unique groups and they have a strong rapline) Stray Kids - God's Menu mv ( this song is not old but its already a legend in kpop. Believe me you need to check this) Ateez - Wonderland mv ( strong vocals , rapline and dancers. Probably the Leaders of 4th generation( this is someting about kpop) please try to check them) SHINee- Dont call me mv( a true legend as a 13 years old kpop group) EXO- Monster mv ( you'll like it) B.A.P - One Shot mv ( you like mvs like movies? You'll love that one)
You found MONSTA X, yesss They have the best Rappers with iconic rap lines in every songs, best vocalist with beautiful and powerful voices, best concept and style in their MV, best music and songs... I know you doubt it but you will agree to it AFTER you check their other music. Recomendation: LOVE KILLA FANTASIA FOLLOW ALLIGATOR SHOOT OUT
You might like TXT's 0x1=lovesong. It has a rock influence and the song is about dealing through rough times with someone you love. They're also BTS little brother group under the same company
Thank you for reacting this MV of Monsta X, I hope you can react to other Monsta X music video. I love your genuine and honest reaction tho ❤ and it's okay if you get some wrong info since this is your first time, we understand
its really easy to get confused by the groups when you're not familiar with kpop, but every monbebe and almost all the people that react to monsta x can assure that they're a mature male group, also they don't make commercial music, like they just do what they want. and also they are trendsetters in kpop bc of their dark and unique style. ♡
Suga is a member of bts. Only of bts. Kihyun is monsta x . And kpop is so diverse!! And monsta x is one of a kind! Their style is unique. And they are so versatile too. Thank you for the reaction. Please react more to them. I highly recommend for more melodic sorry i'm not sorry live. And very powerful beastmode live stage. From his main songs love killa , wanted, fantasia
The MV is based on Ocean's Eleven apparently and the members were also inspired by James Bond. Joohoney's favorite artist is Michael Jackson so we can also see MJ vibes throughout the video and the song. It was a nice reaction and if you like Gambler you should listen to Love Killa, Dramarama, Jealousy, Shoot Out, but all Monsta X songs are bops
MONSTA X are known for their more mature concepts and they crazy good rap line and amazing vocals!!! If you think it's cool that they can sing and dance, you might be surprised to hear that this whole track was also written and produced by one of the members (the guy at the very beginning) and his rolemodel growing up was actually Michael Jackson! MX are always really involved in making their own music and I think you should definitely check out more from them!!!!! I would recommend you Love Killa, Shoot Out, Alligator and maybe one of their Englisch tracks Who Do You Love.
This can be considered one of their more 'chill' sounds You neeed to react to their previous music. I think you'll love them. Some suggestions are fantasia, alligator, all in and dramarama.
It's funny how so many westerners go on about kpop guys and the makeup and question their masculinity. They seem to forget the hair bands of the 80's. Hard rock and heavy metal guys in leather and lace, hair down to their waist and lots of make-up. Or they forget David Bowie. Make-up on men is nothing new in the music industry. Kpop just does it better and Monsta X is the best of the best.
if you want to see a group that has multiple sub groups....Look at NCT U. They are 23 members that has 4 sub groups. They do a variety of music. I would suggest start at 90s love
Jooheon (one of the member) which is one of the rapper and also producer of this song is a big fan of Michael Jackson..glad that u can sense MJ inspiration from this song ☺️
Also if you’re interested in people in multiple groups check out Super M - it’s a group made up of members from EXO, SHINee and NCT/WayV. One member, Mark, is in 4 groups total 😱 NCT 127, NCT Dream, NCT U and Super M
you gotta check Monsta X's english album 'All About Luv' Monsta X has an episode on 'We Bare Bears' and they did an OST for the lastest Spongebob movie with Snoop Dogg
And i would like to recommend taemin too.he is a solo artist and his music is just👌🏻chef kiss👌🏻.want,move,advice,criminal are some of his music videos that you should DEFINITELY react.
New sub here!!! (I even turned the bell on for your notifications) I thoroughly enjoyed your reaction. Its nice to witness a youtuber do his history, keep an openmind, and appreciate good music regardless if he could understand the words or not. Good sir, Monsta X is a species of their own. This song in itself is on another level when it comes to Monsta X and a completely diffrent plain in Kpop. On that note, to fully satisfy your kpop experience I would like to suggest something of a different kpop level in itself🙃😉 I strongly encourage you to bless your ears with an iconic cover of Hoppipolla singing "Creep" by Radiohead. We all know that many have covered this classic yet I feel many havent been able to take the song and give it new life.. Until Hoppipolla. You do know that to sing a cover you have to do as well if not better than the original. So what can 4 South Koreans do to truly make it special? 🤔 This may be one of the best (if not THE best) covers I have EVER heard. (Korn, The Cure, Prince, and my former favorite, The Pretenders) Or, perhaps you would like to truly feel the power that music posesses and listen to "Your Ocean" by Hoppipolla. This song proves how music is its own universal language that we all speak and understand. That regardless of what kind of music you listen to, there is only one genre of music, "good music" So go ahead and go check out Hoppipolla. They are a group unlike any other you may have heard. I PROMISE you will not be disappointed...
you know, i used to work for a new york rock and metal label for two years, i studied music management, so at one point, the way that kpop distributed their albums and still selling 100k+ copies of physical albums was super interesting to me. so that's where i dove deeper into it and discovered not only bts but sold my heart to MONSTA X. bc their style is so unique and the way they excel st everything they do, without getting the recognition they deserve for it, is INSANE. they are from an indie label which doesn't have the ressources or the knowledge to promote monsta x worldwide - but if they did, and everyone who's ever listened to monsta x and their unique sound would agree with this, they would top the worldwide charts BY FAR. they deserve so much more. their talent and sound is IMPECCABLE and never been done before
You know their talent is underrated when the management of bigger groups nicks MX choreos for their groups because they know it will sell well... (happened to MX in 2016 already if I recall correctly)
Agreed with you 🙌🏻
@@constancegabriel-haevecker5912 Yeah I think it was fighter era, their choreo was stolen and didn't gave them any credits. They were always take the hate if they ever do something different and then stans would gave the flowers to others. IM CLAWING MY FACE THEY'RE SO FREAKING UNDERAPPRECIATED
Very well said!!! Thank you..
ouh ma gosh I appreciate you so much for your kind and truthful words! And damn, you worked for a NY rock and metal label?? so cool! What was the first song you listen to of monsta x? whats your favorite song?? :D
The article you found was about Suga (from BTS) and Kihyun (from Monsta X) friendship. But they are completely different groups :) Thank you for reacting.
Thanks for the info. Man Its hard to find good info out here! I appreciate all of you helping!
@@GKDLABELS That's true, no problem.
BTS & Monsta X are very representative groups of kpop, but they have total different styles, being Monsta X more aggressive and somewhat sexier in some ways than BTS, and BTS being more Fresh/Flower boy and their sexiness can be appreciated differently, less straight forward. In terms of Music, well, they are both very diverse, but Monsta X has a distinctive heavy sound in general, while BTS is more "poppish" as you said.
Ooooohhh 😂😂😂😂 I was wondering how he got the idea they they were in the same group
Kpop is so diverse. There is a lot of the BTS style pop, but the edgier stuff that Monsta X does is getting more prevalent.
It's true tho..
Yess!!!
Thank you for all for the info on my mistake on the members! I tried to do some research this time, but the article I read mislead me to believe those two members were in both groups. I am very sorry, but definitely enjoying and will continue my journey! Thankfully I have all you helping me get good info :) Keep the comments coming!
It's cool! Just happy your mistake led you to a badass group 😎
Shouldve been more careful tho. You dont even know how toxic SOME bts fans can be.. And if ever some of those toxic fans find this vid. They may end up attacking our boys over this.. Our boys Monsta X deserve nothing of such.
@@Linkfan1989 Yeaaa i am thanking for the mistake now lol
It's OK, mistakes happens anywhere, but glad you found MONSTA X the best most versatile group
It’s okay! thank you for the reaction 😇
Monsta X has the best rapline, the best vocals and the best dancers. They're the full package.
Beast mode and Be quiet live performances are epic!!!
They're beasts on the stage.
Greetings from Mexico.
Other than the mistake of the member mix-ups, you should definitely react to more Monsta X music! They are very versatile in song genre, and a lot of the members participate in their music and choreo. Fun fact: one of the rappers (the member in the beginning of the video, and who also did the high note after the dance break; his name is Joohoney) is the one who produced this title track for the mini-album.
Thanks! Yes I read an article that was clearly misleading in that. I even tried to do some research before hand, but it bit me in the butt. Thank you for the support though. Looking forward to more!
@@GKDLABELS They are really good, gotta love them!
This isn't your typical kpop boy group. MX is intense and intimidating (but has softer tracks too!). They have this distinct color only them can pull off.
Thanks for your reaction!
They are RED and BLACK... definitely an powerful mix of colours worth for a powerful group.
Very true. Monsta X are a 'MAN group'. Serious MAN vibe.
Not saying anything against other Groups but some just have a diff aura
& MX's, is All Man
Joohoney the composer of this song is the biggest fan of Michael Jackson
Handsome Honey
Monsta X is not your typical Kpop or group. Their music discography is 👌
Welcome to the Monsta X black hole. 🤣🔥 You'll never escape now lol. Monsta X are the kings of edgy. No one else in kpop sounds like them. They are truly unique and they can do EVERY genre. Please check out their mvs for Alligator, Fantasia, Shoot Out, Follow, Beautiful and Love Killa. Monsta X is mainly known for their rap and edm based style. Thanks for the great reaction. 🔥
Monsta x black hole
Yeah 😁😁😁🤣🤣🤣
I find the dance practice for Jealousy so much better than the video, loads more details in the movements. The video for me is too fragmented with too many cuts and has no real concept.
MX are just built differentttt I'm obsessed with them
Suits, Leather, harness, body chain, choker are Monsta X things 👌
What about main dish? 😂
Stan monsta x they never disappoint they slap every music style stream
About the BTS mixup, that’s fine don’t worry, kpop can be VERY confusing to someone who has nothing to do with it. Once you get in deeper you will understand that the term kpop is more like a term to describe the industry that music companies in Korea ‚produce‘. There are SO many different kpop groups with different concepts out there, you will never know them all or watch all their music. For the genre itself, kpop groups do whatever genre they like. There‘s a girlgroup who do songs that are close to goth rock music. Their name is Dreamcatcher by the way.
BTS is just the most famous kpop Group and most members of different groups know each other, some are even friends, they see each other on music shows and award stages and share waiting rooms and stuff.
Monsta X are pretty unique though. We started to refuse to call them a boygroup. They’re a men group. All of them were born between 1992-1996 so they’re adults and they don‘t hesitate to do their thing. They often have some sort of storyline in their music videos and this song actually was written, composed and arranged by their main rapper Joohoney (the vesper martini guy).
It‘s hard to explain much about them, they seem very bad boy-ish, energetic and maybe even scary but honestly if you know them better behind the scenes all of them are humble, nice, caring and sweet. They care a lot for each other and their fans and they never take anything for granted.
You need to see Love Killa and Hero by them I think.
True dat 👍
because they are all adults they can't be called a boygroup? Isn't that the case for all 3rd gen and older kpop groups ? Or is it because they have a more manly style ?
@@-amel-9896 it’s just a term the fandom uses not an actual term. We say that because they don’t have the usual boygroup style and are more mature not necessarily because they’re adults, we just don’t really like to address them as ‘boys’
@@doriegom8250 i wouldn't call their style more "mature" but it's just more "harsh" and intensive. There's many kpop groups like that these days, especially among boygroups. They just don't have the happy bubbly kpop style, but this style is starting to be less prominent among boygroups. these days, with the exceptions of maybe bts, txt, seventeen astro and a few others, boygroups all do the hard hitting dark "noisy" type of style which monsta x embody a lot. Calling them a "men group" because they don't have light concepts is kind of weird because it's basically calling the groups with light happy concept childish. Being happy and fun has no age. girlgroups have always done that kind of concept, and we don't call the groups who don't do it "women group". I know yall didn't mean it like that but it looks like it has mysoginistic undertones.
@@-amel-9896 What are you talking about? This "men group" is something used by some monsta x fans, because their age is 26 to 30 years old. Each fandom has its codes and jokes, this is ours. Do you like Monsta X? You know that they have music with cute and light concept too, right? ♡
The account above did not say anything offensive for you to give an angry answer and belittle our group.
Of course Monsta x is still unique, you know why? Because groups started using monsta x as an example of a concept to get listeners' attention!! Jyp has done a lot of that, using monsta x video to show a group of them how to get "inspired". No wonder that now as you said that there are several groups that do what monsta X does but Monsta X is unique, and gambler was the proof of that.
If you like style mashups, you'll like Monsta X. Check out Shoot Out, Love Killa, Beautiful, or X-PHENOMENON to start
They are not bts bts is friends the monsta x members.Monsta x is so different and unique kpop group they are all members are so talented that high note hit the our main Rapper jooheon and he composed write this song you should more react to monsta x they are never ever disappointed you i will suggest you LOVE KILLA and FANTASIA
Thanks for the support and info. Other people have informed me the article I found was a bit misleading. Glad I have all of you to help me :)
@iram khan YESSS!!!
Please react to more Monsta X MVs. They never disappoint! May i suggest:
LOVE KILLA
SHOOTOUT
ALIGATOR
FANTASIA
FOLLOW
Monsta X has everything: the vocals, their rap duo is insane, the energy, the visuals, versatility!
Thank you for your reaction!!!❤
Thank you for enjoying Monsta X! Their music is soooo different from the usual Kpop, they do their own songs. If you watch most of their MVs, they are all like mini movies...super lit and Monsta X is One of the Kind!
Dude you gotta listen to their other songs like Love Killa, Fantasia, Follow, Alligator. Monsta X is whole GENRE themselves. Even among other Korean Idols. The one who produce this is the guy at the start saying “if you don’t know, now you know”. He is Jooheon. He is a rapper with big interest in MJ. Which is why you can detect that MJ vibe in the song. Trust me listen to their songs. React to them and see how blown off you’ll feel. I’ll say it again. They are a whole different GENRE by themselves. Anyway love your reaction and comments. Subscribed 🤟🏼
MX very versatile and their energy and style are not like others, I don’t know how else to explain 😁but , you just need to listen more their songs , and you will understand what I'm talking about 😎.
nice catch, Joohoney wrote/composed and produced this song, his greatest influence and idol is Michael Jackson actually. Also if you want to see them really put rock and rap together please watch Joohoney and I.M's Sambakja stage (eng subtitles ver)🔥
Yes please!
Ohh yass sambakja stage is 🔥
6:17 joohoney the main rapper and writer& producer of this song is actually a big fan of michael jackson lol
Monsta X are the kings of dark concepts they are unique
Hey honestly yeah there was a mix up on members but I'm so happy you accidently ended up on Monsta X. They are vastly different from BTS and gives you a good taste of what else kpop offers.
Monsta X tends to have heavier bass and a more intense sound than BTS which lately has been more of a light dance genre.
Feel free to ask Monbebe more about MX. The fandrom is really nice!
Thank you for coming to Monsta X 🔥 Talking about friendship, not only Suga with Kihyun, Hyungwon and Jhope was joining the same dancing's class in their hometown. Also Jin, Suga, Jhope with Jooheon (you'll find fancam about them being know each other). I remember Shownu said "being idol its not a competition, they are all friend not enemy".
JOOHONEY THE MAIN RAPPER IN BLACK HAIR THAT ALSO BELTS THESE VOCALS PRODUCED THIS SONG! HE PRODUCED OVER 120 SONGS FOR MONSTA X AND THIS IS HIS TITLE TRACK!
bts has nothing to do with monsta x though, kihyun from monsta x and suga from bts are friends yes, but they ain't part of the same group!
joohoney is also the BIGGEST MJ fan out there so u can definitely feel the impact it had on him producing this song
If you really like it, I recommend:
Monsta X - “WANTED”, “LOVE KILLA”, “SHOOT OUT”
Wonho (ex MX’s member) - “LOSE”
Joohoney (MX’s rapper) - “PSYCHE”
I.M (MX’s rapper) - “GOD DAMN”
Also they have an album ENTIRELY in english - Monsta X “ALL ABOUT LOVE” (11 tracks). It blew up the billboard, all the songs are beyond praise. “BESIDE YOU” has feat. Pitbull
Music video from this album: “YOU CAN’T HOLD MY HEART”, “MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT”, “SOMEONE’S SOMEONE”, “WHO DO YOU LOVE”
Monsta X, Sebastian Yatra “MAGNETIC” in english+spanish
Steve Aoki, Monsta X “PLAY IT COOL” in eng. MV is amazing too
New song - Monsta X “Secrets” in eng.
I.M (MX’s rapper), Elhae - “HORIZON” in eng.
I.M - “HOWLIN” in eng.
Snoop Dogg, Monsta X - “How we do” OST to Sponge Bob movie 😹
Ex member Wonho has several songs in eng: “LOSE eng ver”, “OPEN MIND eng ver”, “WENEED”, “LOSING YOU”
Wonho, Kiiara - “AIN’T ABOUT YOU”. Music video is so good, they are both awesome
Oh I understand why you might have mixed up the members because Suga and Kihyun are good friends+knew each other since pre-debut! I'm glad it led to you falling down the Monsta X rabbit hole because they're truly a versatile and unique group. They're in control of a lot of creative aspects regarding their image+concept and their influence is seen in a lot of 4th gen boy groups! Whether it be Korean, Japanese, or English, they excel in all 3 languages and you'll never get bored. Their b-sides are some of the most diverse I've ever heard in a kpop group so you'll definitely find something for every genre!
If u wanna listen to them more, MonstaX have a full english album called All About Luv ft french montana, william, and pitbull. Also they have a collab with Steve Aoki called Play it cool. These boys are also under Epic Records for western promotions. If u want to check out their eng songs, Play It Cool ft Steve Aoki and Who Do U Love ft French Montana would be the best options (but fyi, their eng songs are mostly 80s 90s vibes and slower rnb songs than korean ones.)
Or for korean MV , Love Killa, Shoot Out, Dramarama, Fantasia or Beautiful are the ones
First MONSTA X and BTS are two different groups thank you And I like your reaction of monsta x 💖
Count me in a journey of monsta x forever no matter what
I'm Army since 2016 (BTS's fandom name) and I'm a Monbebe (Monsta X's fandom name) since 2015. Both of them really another level with another styles. Monsta X's vocalists and rappers are no joke.
I was confused by the beginning of the video re: BTS members in Monsta X?! But I realize this is the beginning of your journey. Monsta X sound is unique & slaps hard. They are beast idols-Men. They’re popular with westerners. They deserve so much more recognition but they’re from a smaller agency. They’re growth is 100% organic by talent. I hope you check out more of MX cuz they have great songs like Shoot Out , Alligator and English songs are super impressive Play It Cool, from their all ENGLISH album CHARTED #5 on BB:Middle of the Night and Who Do You Love
You need to react more to Monsta X
Monsta x his style is unique, monsta x is fire, it's simply art. 🔥🔥🔥🔥💪👑
you should react to the mini album!!! and thanks for the reaction ^^
they’re one of the best kpop groups and his discography is a chef kiss, if you liked them you won’t regret listen to their songs ♡
Jooheon who composed this title track is a HUGE Mj fan! Maybe that's why :)
Shoot Out, Dramarama, Follow, Beautiful...youre welcome ;)
And for monsta x mvs ,follow ,shoot out,alligator,love killa,play it cool,who do you love,x-phenomenon is a must watch.have a lovely day
Thank you for this video, I liked hearing about how you're exploring the K-pop genre and open to listening to music from different countries and genres. It's nice that you also talked about the visual details as well as the sounds.
Did you know Monsta X are brand ambassadors for Urban Decay cosmetics? The make-up goes well with the strong colours.
As a fan, I'm happy to see people enjoying the song and interested in listening to the group's music.
(P.S. I.M. - the rapper in the red jacket - made an E.P. 'Duality'. The lead song is 'God Damn' and has a very different vibe to MX)
At least the mix-up led you to discover Monsta X! haha! I hope you check more out from them, I think you'll really like it! They're one of the most talented and unique groups, and really helped shape the newer generation of KPOP with their sound & style!
Thank you for reacting to Monsta X. I hope you will react more to Monsta X. Their discography is good.
thanks so much for checking them out!! monsta x are seriously such an amazing and flexible group, their titles are normally edgy, mature and sexy and just overall beasts while their b sides have something for everything! they’re the one group that i absolutely fall in love with every track in the album.
imo the duo rapline Joohoney (the one who starts the song “if you don’t know now you know) and I.M (the “don’t you wanna feel alive) are some of the most top tier rapline in the industry. their energy off of each other is just so good!! and the vocal lines between the rest of the members are so strong and unique!
Also in regards to the MV: the members are finding ways to get into this secret auction to steal what looks to be a powerful / expensive jewel. Jooheon impersonates the auctioneer to direct the pace while the rest of the members buy time on the table until the blackout device goes out. that’s when they make their move and slip away either as undercover or pretending to be SWAT ~
Thanks a lot for your reaction to them! No problem for the misunderstanding about the groups.
I hope you will react more to MonstaX, I recommend you Love Killa, Shoot out, Dramarama and Follow. You will notice that they have a "bad boy" vibe and more "into your face" kind of music, but they have an entire English album too (some songs of the album that have an mv: who do you love, middle of the night, you can't hold my heart) that have a different vibe and other songs too in korean more chill (some: Find u, all in) and not agressive.
They are really versatile even though they are well known for their more aggressive style.
I appreciate so much what you said about makeup and style, it is something that usually in western countries is unusual for men. I find it fascinating too, and above all style and makeup are not one gender property.
I follow a lot of kpop groups and all of them make more than one album a year, Monsta sometimes make 3 albums a year too! It is difficult for me but I can't imagine how hard it is for them to keep up, I appreciate a lot that they make music for us so often but I know that that is really hard and stressing for them. A lot of groups (Monsta too) make japanese comebacks too and promote overseas, more work for them. In addition they have to promote their songs for weeks and even make different shows, lives... in order to stay close to their fans. They can't date (publicly), they have to keep their image...they are really stressed.
Thanks again!
Monsta X ARE the legends of kpop and pop. Really diffrent from other groups. And so elegant.
There are a lot of other Monsta MVs you should check on.
Appreciate BTS as the gateway group to KPOP and you are right KPOP has so much more to offer than what you have heard from them so far. Monsta X is an example---their sound is diverse across their Korean and English albums to be characterized as just one genre. There are so many other awesome groups that KPOP, or rather K-Music has to offer and what you have seen and heard is just a tip of the iceberg.
Haha, that mix up was so funny, i was like wut did i just hear 😅 Still glad it took you here! I hope you can find out a lot more about monstax and other kpop groups alongside bts but i also know that it is a LOT. And i mean really a LOT. I got aquaintanced with bts as my first kpop group in 2019 and I feel like i still only know SO little about the most well known and popular kpop groups 🙈😅 So yeah, don't feel any pressure and continue watching what you love best of what you discover of kpop! Some other groups I enjoy would be Exo, Stray kids, Cix, Nct, Mamamoo, Shinee, Ateez, Day6 and N.flying so it be cool if you could maybe try out some of their stuff at some point! Still hope of course that you can enjoy getting to know some more bts songs as well! Have fun either way 🤗😁
Monsta X is a group that known for their masculinity. But, at the same time their songs basically screams Monsta X tho. No matter how many songs they released each of them have this distinct sound that shows "this is monsta X song" no matter what genre they are. Songs like Dramarama and Shoot Out are the type of songs that promotes them as the "monster group" with this bad boy vibes while songs like Jealousy, Love Killa and Gambler itself are leaning towards the concept of being dangerous sexy guys, them being a men group instead of boy group lol 😂
Also the same for Wjsn, a girl group from their company. Wjsn is also known for their songs having this distinct synth sound in all of their songs especially the title track. Their songs are basically sounds mystical which fits their concept as Cosmic Girl (Reccomending Secret, Save Me Save You, Dreams Come True, La La Love and As You Wish). But they also open to try other concept such as women crush which is more feminine and matured for example, their latest song Unnatural and debut song of their 2nd sub-unit which is Easy by Wjsn The Black.
I really like this song.....one of my favourite by Monsta X
Monsta X wear leather pants more often than not 😂 You def. should check out more of their discography (I recommend Alligator, Follow, Stuck, Shoot Out, Hero and any other of their videos) and most definitely some of their dance practices (def. Alligator, the dance practice for the SBS performance of All In, Jealousy, Shoot Out costume version, Stuck and Beastmode, Dramarama) and then have a run with it and become a new Monbebe, too 😅. Fantasia is as the name implies a fantasy composition, including different styles, too. And they often use external sounds like a roar, car engine sounds, guns reloading, ad libs etc. like Depeche Mode did in the early days, very much EDM/industrial EDM heavy.
The time travel storyline connects different videos, Find You, Destroyer and Dramarama.
Sambakja live is extremely good if you want to get a feel for what is maybe or rather definitely (!) the best rap duo in K-Pop atm (Jooheon and I.M.). Also, Hyungwon has been DJing at concerts as DJ H.One, check out the live We Are Here Seoul 2019.
Maybe check out Wonho's Lose and Open Mind, too. He's a former MX member, now solo artist.
Monsta X is my first venture into K-Pop and I have been a complete Monbebe since.
Gambler is also the first title song that was written by the main rapper Jooheon.
In K-Pop, men are wearing makeup, multiple earrings, coloured lenses and bright hair colours as normal attire. It is artsy and in contrast to the traditional Korean concept of manliness/gender in society. Two of the singers in MX (and probably in many other K-Pop bands) were actually chosen and are still often labeled as "visuals" in addition to vocalists because they are so "beautiful"/ethereal/what Westerners would label as "feminine"/effeminate.
When you look at the main target age group (pree-teens and teens) for K-Pop fandoms and with many trainees debuting as early as 13, it makes sense that men are not really "manly men" but softer versions and less threatening in their manliness aka more approachable and fantasy-friendly.
Also, MX are openly supportive of LGBTQIA and manliness and gender for them is a fluid concept. 🏳🌈
Thanks for your reaction...I really loved it!
Monsta X is a group so different from the other ones. They're pretty popular for their dark concepts and hard sounds but they're so much more than this!!
you should check out these mv:
love killa
alligator

fantasia
follow
all in
stuck
dramarama
wanted
spotlight
x-phenomenon
you should also check their dance practice 'cause their lit!!! 🔥🔥🔥
and there are also some live performances like:

beastmode + live killa (mama 2020)
joohoney + im - no competition
kihyun - bad
joohoney + im - sambakja live

how long - hyungwon + im
myself - hyungwon + kihyun + minhyuk
THEY'RE AMAZING!
last things:
joohoney (main rapper) has a mixtape called psyche and also some mv (psyche, smoky, red carpet and others)
im (the other rapper) has a solo album and the track song is called god damn (it has a mv too) and also a mixtape with other mv
kihyun and minhyuk (two of the vocalists) have a lot of covers and songs too, you're gonna easily find them if you search their names on yt
joohoney and Im also have a mv together, the song is BeMyFriend
i promise you'll never get disappointed with these men!!! they are FIRE. and they have the BEST rap line ever. ❤️
Best monbebe ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@katieK1103 aaah thank you 🥺❤️
If you like mash up try to listen Monsta X - X Phenomenon.
Spoiler, it's like 3 songs mash up in 1 song but it's not. It is 1 song.
X Phenomenon is Monsta X 's Japanese song
There are no bts members in the monsta x.They are completely different groups.
This is what I found online from an article from July 2020. Is this not correct?
"Not all fans know, but BTS and MONSTA X are connected through two members: Suga and Kihyun! They may not shout out their love for each other to the world, but their closeness was seen in a number of ways since both of their debuts. Check out some of their rare public friendship moments below!"
Kihyun is main vocalist of Monsta X. And I assume that the article is about friendship of members of these 2 groups.
@@GKDLABELS Just like what others have commented here, BTS and Monsta X are completely different groups. That article you found is basically talking about the longtime friendship between Suga (from BTS) and Kihyun (from Monsta X). They've been friends before either of them had debuted in their respective groups.
Please react love killa mosta x please
My cousin said he dislikes this vid because you mistakenly mix up the members but he said he still love the video other than that, we support you :> If you want to know more about monsta x and like their music you should also react to their other songs :> Go king!
Welcome to the Monsta X rabbit hole....
😅 "Suga is also a member of monsta x"
LOL I bet he does wish he were, but he's not hahaha
what do you mean he "wishes" ?? it's the opposite lmao, any monsta x member would wish he was in their group. The man is living his best life in the biggest group in the planet, making his own music with his own style. I've never seen any group members being as happy and confortable as being in their own group like te bts members are, he is like in love with his band mates that he has known for over 10 years for some of them.
If suga was in MX I feel like we'd get to see him and Ki pick on each other more 😂
@@-amel-9896 I like them in their each groups (although seeing Suga and Ki pick on each other would be funny). I think like BTS, monsta x is comfortable with each other (both groups have brotherly relationships with their respective members). As well as the music they make
@@-amel-9896 Lmao stop crying and go to bed
@@-amel-9896 uh no
Monsta x is unique keep listening to them they will never bords you every comeback is different and exciting this new album is perfect!
THANKS FOR THE GREAT REACTION!!!!♥️
You should try to react ‘LOVE KILLA’ too. ♠️
Check out more Monsta X. Love Killa, Fantasia, Follow, etc.,on back to their 2015 debut plus their Japanese vids. They're not your standard kpop band with the cute and colorful vibe, but they can give you that, too!
You will never get bored with Monsta X. I love that these boys are so versatile and can rock any song. They blew my mind every come back. Love your reaction. Thank you
yo, I loved your reaction and i really like your personality, you come up with so many aspects that i just can't agree more, like you said "not just listening for the music", but the video in its aesthetics ("the visual cues") is also THE THING. so relatable!
MONSTA X KINGS supremacy
Thank you for the reaction and for liking monsta x they are really talented thanks for appreciating
Hi! I loved your video, you didn't only talk about the music, but included your opinion about other topics. Can you react to NCT please? It is a group with 23 members lol. But they are divided in subunits. A couple of months ago they had a comeback with ALL the members. The song is called "Resonance". They are one of the most coordinated groups in dancing of all the industry (in my opinion). Imagine coordinating 23 guys!
I like to watch people's experience with K-pop from the start, so I think it's important to see how somebody like you (or me when I first came upon kpop) breaks down the misconceptions and assumptions that we have going into another country's music industry like this. I think it's somewhat of a happy accident that you ended up checking out Monsta X as they are a completely different style and sound to BTS, especially the brighter songs BTS have been promoting recently.
I am glad you weren't turned off or pushed away entirely by the difference in beauty standards and the initial frustration of fans who didn't understand that this was you trying to process something completely new and different. When you say that genre mashups are one of your favorite things, I fist pumped the air because that is what is most interesting about k-pop to me is just the insane variety in instruments, languages, rhythm patterns, singing styles, and production techniques mixed together in so many cool ways.
I will try to watch your reactions in order to see how your relationship with K-pop progresses, and I just wanted to say thank you for pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone because K-Pop is a BOTTOMLESS well of incredibly talented attractive people making super interesting music, and it has changed my life.
Sincerely,
A Straight White American Male K-Pop Fan who experienced what you are experiencing about 2 years ago
They wear leather pants to perform VERY OFTEN
This whole song was put together, the composition, writing, production everything was done by one of the members, JOOHONEY. It was his first production and he definitely rocked the whole industry!!!
I am really happy that you reacted to Monsta x, they are a fantastic group that truely needs to be listened to more. They are so good and really deserve more attention. I kinda laughed a bit when you said the Suga was in group too, but kpop is another world to be in and you learn as you go. Kihyun ,Suga and Jooheon are good friends and Hyungwon and Jhope are friends from their school days so there are friendships between the 2 groups. Also Monsta x debuted as 7, but due to false accusation Wonho stepped down from group so as not to drag his brothers down, Even after it was proven that he was innocent he still couldnt rejoin his brothers because toxic fans still throwing hate at him which might affect the group. He did come back as a soloist and is still under the Starship company umbrella in Highline which is a sub . You should also check his music . He has had two comeback since he returned with 2 album . Check out Losing You, Open Mind, Lose. Ain't About You , Weneed and so many more off both of his albums. He also did a beautiful cover of I Love You by Billie Ellish. Again thank you so much for finding them even if its by mistake. Like Joohonney said If you don't know Now you Know :) I really liked your reaction and will be subscribing :)
Hello i hope you react to more monsta x so you will get familiarized with the members. You will not regret it!!♡ thanks for reacting first time to monsta
Monsta x usually has mashup style. Some people label it as noise genre.
Really?
Thankyou so much for reacting to Monsta X! They have many songs in different languages and genres. They even have a full English album called All About Luv, with collaborations with Pitbull, French Montana and Will.i.am! Please react to them some more!
Welcome to the genre named monstax.
I realize you may have been misinformed, but I am SO glad you decided to react!! MonstaX are well-rounded and an extremely talented group, with a sound all on their own!! Get ready for a deep dive into their discography!! I recommend Lost in the Dream, Rodeo, Oh My, Myself, Sambakja for starters!!
Yesss Monsta XXXXX You should check out some other Monsta X songs, like Beautiful or Alligator. I think you’d also like NCT, there’s a lot to learn with them but check out their songs 90s Love, Kick It and Hot Sauce if you want to go further down the rabbit hole haha... NCT, MONSTA X and SHINee are my ult groups 🥰
I am SO happy you have entered the world of Monsta X, even if it was by accident haha. But you know what, everything happens for a reason! I echo what others have said here, KPop as a genre is so versatile, any genre you can think of there'll be a KPop song somewhere that will incorporate it in to theirs. Even individual groups go through a variety of concepts and evolution in their music. So you'll never get bored! BTS's earlier music is vastly different to what they're doing nowadays. Monsta X are known for being an edgy more grittier group. I'd love to see more Monsta X and KPop reactions in general 😊
Let me suggest you, for a nice baseline from Monsta X :
-Who Do You Love MV
-Love Killa MV
-Shoot Out MV
-Someone's Someone
-Alligator
-Dramarama
Love Monsta X they do this type of music so well, glad you enjoyed it.
TXT just released an amazing song as well called "0x1=Love song" that I think you would like it.
Monsta X is a badass group, please react to more songs like Shoot out, Alligator, Dramarama, Jealousy, Fantasia and for their full English releases Someone's Someone, Who do you love, Play it cool. FYI, a member left in 2019 so older releases have 7 members, newer ones have 6. And in their English releases the main rapper joins the vocal line so don't get confused :D looking forward to more Monsta X reactions!
You need to see more monsta x for sure. Let me give you an extra info about them, there was a member named " wonho" you'll see him in some videos specially old ones but you wont see him in new ones because he left the group. He is a soloist now if you wanna check him too. This was just a short info to make it a little bit easy for you, kpop could be soo confusing.
Anyways, please react to Monsta X - Love Killa mv and also please react to a guide to them it would help you to knpw them better and probably to like them more.
And except monsta x, please check other kpop groups too. Here are some of my favorities
VIXX- Fantasy mv ( one of the most unique group of kpop, known as Concept Kings. If you wanna see an mv looks like a movie this is the group you are looking for)
VERIVERY- Get Away mv ( again one of the most unique groups and they have a strong rapline)
Stray Kids - God's Menu mv ( this song is not old but its already a legend in kpop. Believe me you need to check this)
Ateez - Wonderland mv ( strong vocals , rapline and dancers. Probably the Leaders of 4th generation( this is someting about kpop) please try to check them)
SHINee- Dont call me mv( a true legend as a 13 years old kpop group)
EXO- Monster mv ( you'll like it)
B.A.P - One Shot mv ( you like mvs like movies? You'll love that one)
You found MONSTA X, yesss
They have the best Rappers with iconic rap lines in every songs, best vocalist with beautiful and powerful voices, best concept and style in their MV, best music and songs... I know you doubt it but you will agree to it AFTER you check their other music.
Recomendation:
LOVE KILLA
FANTASIA
FOLLOW
ALLIGATOR
SHOOT OUT
thanks for the reaction ♡ I bet you are gonna love mx 💕 I wish you react to all the mv's
You might like TXT's 0x1=lovesong. It has a rock influence and the song is about dealing through rough times with someone you love. They're also BTS little brother group under the same company
Thank you for reacting this MV of Monsta X, I hope you can react to other Monsta X music video. I love your genuine and honest reaction tho ❤ and it's okay if you get some wrong info since this is your first time, we understand
its really easy to get confused by the groups when you're not familiar with kpop, but every monbebe and almost all the people that react to monsta x can assure that they're a mature male group, also they don't make commercial music, like they just do what they want. and also they are trendsetters in kpop bc of their dark and unique style. ♡
Suga is a member of bts. Only of bts. Kihyun is monsta x . And kpop is so diverse!! And monsta x is one of a kind! Their style is unique. And they are so versatile too. Thank you for the reaction. Please react more to them. I highly recommend for more melodic sorry i'm not sorry live. And very powerful beastmode live stage. From his main songs love killa , wanted, fantasia
The MV is based on Ocean's Eleven apparently and the members were also inspired by James Bond. Joohoney's favorite artist is Michael Jackson so we can also see MJ vibes throughout the video and the song. It was a nice reaction and if you like Gambler you should listen to Love Killa, Dramarama, Jealousy, Shoot Out, but all Monsta X songs are bops
MONSTA X are known for their more mature concepts and they crazy good rap line and amazing vocals!!!
If you think it's cool that they can sing and dance, you might be surprised to hear that this whole track was also written and produced by one of the members (the guy at the very beginning) and his rolemodel growing up was actually Michael Jackson! MX are always really involved in making their own music and I think you should definitely check out more from them!!!!! I would recommend you Love Killa, Shoot Out, Alligator and maybe one of their Englisch tracks Who Do You Love.
This can be considered one of their more 'chill' sounds
You neeed to react to their previous music. I think you'll love them.
Some suggestions are fantasia, alligator, all in and dramarama.
It's funny how so many westerners go on about kpop guys and the makeup and question their masculinity. They seem to forget the hair bands of the 80's. Hard rock and heavy metal guys in leather and lace, hair down to their waist and lots of make-up. Or they forget David Bowie. Make-up on men is nothing new in the music industry. Kpop just does it better and Monsta X is the best of the best.
I love when new face react to Monsta x 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for your reaction 💕
Check other music videos of Monsta X
They never disappoint 🖤
if you want to see a group that has multiple sub groups....Look at NCT U. They are 23 members that has 4 sub groups. They do a variety of music. I would suggest start at 90s love
Melhor grupo do kpop, finos e elegantes, talentosos, melhor rap line, melhor vocal line, melhor dance line.
Jooheon (one of the member) which is one of the rapper and also producer of this song is a big fan of Michael Jackson..glad that u can sense MJ inspiration from this song ☺️
Also if you’re interested in people in multiple groups check out Super M - it’s a group made up of members from EXO, SHINee and NCT/WayV. One member, Mark, is in 4 groups total 😱 NCT 127, NCT Dream, NCT U and Super M
you gotta check Monsta X's english album 'All About Luv'
Monsta X has an episode on 'We Bare Bears' and they did an OST for the lastest Spongebob movie with Snoop Dogg
Your comments are cool and glad you found kpop.
MONSTA X KINGS
And i would like to recommend taemin too.he is a solo artist and his music is just👌🏻chef kiss👌🏻.want,move,advice,criminal are some of his music videos that you should DEFINITELY react.
New sub here!!! (I even turned the bell on for your notifications) I thoroughly enjoyed your reaction. Its nice to witness a youtuber do his history, keep an openmind, and appreciate good music regardless if he could understand the words or not.
Good sir, Monsta X is a species of their own. This song in itself is on another level when it comes to Monsta X and a completely diffrent plain in Kpop.
On that note, to fully satisfy your kpop experience I would like to suggest something of a different kpop level in itself🙃😉 I strongly encourage you to bless your ears with an iconic cover of Hoppipolla singing "Creep" by Radiohead. We all know that many have covered this classic yet I feel many havent been able to take the song and give it new life.. Until Hoppipolla. You do know that to sing a cover you have to do as well if not better than the original. So what can 4 South Koreans do to truly make it special? 🤔 This may be one of the best (if not THE best) covers I have EVER heard. (Korn, The Cure, Prince, and my former favorite, The Pretenders)
Or, perhaps you would like to truly feel the power that music posesses and listen to "Your Ocean" by Hoppipolla. This song proves how music is its own universal language that we all speak and understand. That regardless of what kind of music you listen to, there is only one genre of music, "good music"
So go ahead and go check out Hoppipolla. They are a group unlike any other you may have heard. I PROMISE you will not be disappointed...
