After wanting to make a RU-vid channel for three years to challenge myself, I finally made one! This is just a channel where I want to make memories, explore video editing, and challenge myself to keep learning new things. I'd love it if you would join me on this journey :)
U-KISS were the first k-pop group I ever saw on youtube during my university days, so somewhere in 2009-2013. I was obsessed with Neverland, Tick Tack, and Standing Still. RU-vid also recommended a few songs to me by TVXQ and NU'EST which I also enjoyed but I did not look any further than this at the time, and it all went to the back of my mind except for the few moment of nostalgia over the years which prompted me to watch the videos again. Then at some point in 2023 (I forget when) youtube made another recommendation to me and I am so thankful for it. It literally changed my life. It was an episode of Weekly Idol with Super Junior as the guests. I was immediately captivated and started working my way through their discography, during which time I got nostalgic for those old videos I used to watch when I was in uni, so I looked those groups up too starting with U-KISS. It wasn't long before k-pop completely took over my youtube and spotify feed, and then other Asian countries with amazing music starting filtering in. I started watching Asian dramas and learning languages (and actually enjoying it) and making travel plans. U-KISS may not be my ult favourite group but they are up there with other groups/artists that have become favourites (and regularly appear on my playlist), and they will always have a special place in my heart as the first k-pop group I ever heard. ❤ If I had to pick a U-KISS bias it would be Kevin.
Thank you for reacting❤ EVNNE is my favorite group, and I love their new album. So happy they are coming to North America for their new Tour #RideWithEVNNE. 🎉🤩 tickets secured already
Wow! I'm so happy to hear they are going to North Anmerica. They are doing great things. I absolutely cannot get over this song. What's some of your favorite b tracks?
Love them… of course i always appreciate their live. Concert with live band is their signature. They will have fan meeting/concert on July - Infinite Gathering IV. can checkout their live streaming session from BIGC. ❤
Yes, concerts are this weekend!!! I am joining via Beyondlive! The song is a hit! Fantastic opening of a halftime concert!!! Upbeat, bright and funky!!! 💙💙💙❤️❤️❤️💙💙💙
That's great to join online. I wish I could have gotten tickets in person for this one! It seems nearly impossible since SuperShow 9 to get tickets which I love for SUJU!
Yes fellow ELF!!! I totally agree with you. I’m also a long time ELF. SJ-D&E are definitely a favorite subunit. (They’re the bestest duo!) I think everyone should check out SJ and all their subunits. I could talk with you for days…years?for all the “controversial” stuff and how old it gets. “Problematic” stuff is…kind of a human thing. SJ really has fought through all the years and I wish people wouldn’t drag up the past that they have apologized for (some things I’m still…did that need a massive apology over and over?) … I’m also rambling. 😅 Anyway, I adore “Rose” and “GGB”. Okay I adore the entire mini-album! I have never encountered a song from SJ or any of their subunits that I don’t like for some reason or another. Sometimes the quirkier ones I love a little extra because I’m happy they go outside of the box often. (As an ELF I wonder how people couldn’t just love all the members…I’m rather biased about SJ!) Music wise, I love how Donghae composes whatever he wants to. He doesn’t stick to a genre or style. Same can be said about SJ in general. I also love how they can laugh at themselves a lot. I’m happy to have come across your channel because it’s not easy finding fellow long time ELFs. Sadly I lurk on X. You’re right about so many fan wars there. I do chat on messenger and IG though in case you ever just want to fangirl. Thanks so much for being an ELF and thank you for your reaction to “Rose” and “GGB”!
I love that! Yes, please! I would love more ELF friends! Feel free to send me a follow and message on my instagram! I'm happy to fangirl with you at any time!
Don't worry honey,, what matters most is we love them, they don't know what they are missing. After I learned a lot about Kpop, I end up loving Super Junior and Super Junior only, they are my happy pill, never a day that I never listen to their music actually they are the background music all they long, My playlist will last A week before I could finish it,, hehehe. Love them a lot. Super Junio I love them all, But for my bias it's Heechul, and my ultimate is Yesung, his voice can pierce through my soul.
Gracias por tu resccion a D&E nuestra querida Subunidad de Super Junior, ahora ya tienen su propia Empresa ODE y entran con fierza con este Minialbum, Rose es muy romantica y GGB es alegre y que rompe la teisteza en Rose, las demas canciones son lindas, ademas que el Duo tiene muchas canciones que gustan, aunque esten en empresas diferentes Super Junior sigue junto, es un grupo mayor del Kpop, son artistas y para nosotros, en el mundo, los artistas no tienen edad, cada grupo social tiene su forma de pensar, pero una cosa que aprendi en mi vida, es que Super Junior es un grupo diferente, que pega cuando se le conoce, tiene impacto y magia en lo que hace, el que lo conoce se queda con EL
I think I'm just addicted to Sujus voices at this point. They make me love things I never thought I would- like Yesung and his recent coffeehouse music phase; I have never been much of a sip and chill person but after a few listens I found that I can be that person sometimes. As for Rose... it's probably got more country vibes than I'm comfortable with at times, but it's so moving that I can't help listening over and over. I will probably listen to the other songs more though, the album as a whole flows beautifully. I love finding fellow ELF, so I'm glad I found your video.
Thanks so much for your kind words! I love finding fellow ELF too. I can see what you are saying about the country vibes! I grew up in the midwest, so I love that. I will probably have both of these on repeat tbh haha.
I never understand international fans who seek out Korean things because they find parts of the culture fascinating, but throw shade at individual artists when they stumble upon cultural differences that they don't like. Especially grating when it comes from Americans because I've seen far worse from our artists and they don't seem to have a problem. Suju antis normally don't even know what they're talking about so I just ignore or report. The disinformation campaign is real. 😅😂
Omg completely agree. IDK why I keep mentioning it haha. I guess I juust hope that someone will watch my channel and decide to give them a try despite the other negativity.
Some information! This group debuted with On & On in November 2023. And you did peek Kamden. It also has Brian and Jiho - also from Boy’s planet. The other members are Siyun (he participated on Treasure box), Mackiah, Kyrell and Seungmo. Ampersand one is how you say the group name. They actually only have 6 songs out currently. (Only… they’ve only been debuted for 6 months). You should definitely check out On & on for a completely different vibe. I had a very hard time picking a bias with them, but I’m pretty fully on board with all 7, though Siyun has slowly won my heart. There’s something about him. Edited to add: Their first concept was waaaay more vocal heavy so they are giving some different concepts, which I’m fully on board with. I love a group who can provide a lot of variety and duality.
Thank you so much for the information! It can be hard to get into a group when you know nothing. I'll have to look into their first concept. Definitely will check out On & On! I agree with you that I love when groups have a lot of variety and duality!
Nightwalker❤️🔥 i really like how is sounds the melody pre chorus his vocals then hard hitting chorus the choreo the vibe of the mv and the sound is like hypnotising, its has an eerie, creepy vibe that i like omg he did great in this album a no skip for me. Ahhh im like can he release a full album next this year too😊 ahhh o love him such an amazing artist. An all rounder omg i cant stop talking😊 anyways enjoyed your reaction i hope you did an album reaction too😊
Thanks for the video.😊..I watched many Arriba concerts clips already...I love their performances...Im glad you can still record their stages very well...I was seated far like you when they came to Asia Concert last time...Im aiming for nearer seats for their coming concerts in Asia...Hopefully I can get the seats thats is nearer...I love my boys so much...❤
I really hope you can get closer seats too! I wish I could've been closer, but tickets went so quickly! I hope that you can get closer when they come your way! Let me know if you do!
Okay so I'm going to add a few things. Kingdom are under GF entertainement so they are not under the same agency. But ! The ceo of Howling entertainement used to be a director at GF entertainement and is basically the one behind Kingdom (from what I understood). So yeah 5 out of 6 members were on survival shows : - Kwon Hyeop on Produce - Ijun (long hair) on Mixnine - Leo on Fanstasy boys - Sebum (blue hair) on Capteen if I'm not wrong - I sadly forgot on which survival show Saebyeol was tho And lastly Kohyeon was not on any survival show but it's a redebut for him ! I completely forgot the name of his former group but yeah !
Thank you for all the information. It's really helpful when learning about new groups to help figure things out. No wonder I felt like I recognized so many of them!
I'm glad it was okay! I was so far away, but I wanted to make sure that all could be seen! I had an amazing time. I always love going to their concerts! ❤
Good to see this perspective of Ateez performance too. I know Atiny must be sitting far in the concert hall but I’m glad you could capture the entire beauty of the Ateez stage and show it to everyone ♥️♥️ Thank you!!
Thanks so much for your kind words! I'm happy that I had the opportunity to see them again. It can be hard to be far away, but at the same time you can see the whole performance and wow the energy just comes through!
Yes, they have good vocal but since they have many members they only have a little part to sing. Commonly, they only recognize as leader (Leeteuk), visual (Siwon), or just a funny person (Shindong). This subunit give them opportunity to explore and flexing their vocals more. Oh, and my bias is Shindong.
Ooo love that! Yes, all of SUJU have great vocals it's hard to get that recognition in a large group with amazing main vocalists like KRY, so I'm glad they have this subunit now to show off their vocals even more.
Loved your reaction and comments. A year ago, I discovered KDrama, watched She was Prettty and discovered Siwon and through him SJ, and am now gradually branching out to more Kpop. Siwon is still my bias, though tied with Yesung now. But I love them all so much I feel disloyal to the other members even saying it!
Wow, welcome to the crazy world of Hallyu Wave! I'm so excited that you've branched out. I definitely understand feeling disloyal haha. Yesung is my bias, but Hyukjae has me swerving so much haha
