What do you expect? Fast or slow? Stray Kids: Yes.

My favourite group is Stray Kids. To me everyone are damn good singers / rappers and damn good dancers. For me, they're all perfect at it. "Stray Kids" lyrics and music are great for me. The videos are very imaginative and very well done. 👌👏✨« I love Felix and his three different voice types. His very deep voice surprises many.

God's Menu: "For the video, they should be in a restaurant, singing on the stage while people are enjoying their meal. that's the vibe i'm getting" me: oh dear... i- err-

Fun facts: 1. Bigbang is the first group to start writing and producing their own music. G-Dragon is the first idol to do it. After that agencies started giving their idols chance to do it. 2. Bigbang is the first one to have official lightstick. G-Dragon designed it. Since then all fandoms followed it and now every fandom has their own lightstick. 3. T.o.p is the first underground rapper turned idol. 4. G-Dragon made colorful hair trend. Before him, most daring color idols would do was brown but GD starting from blonde, pink, blue, green, white there is no color he hasn't tried. 5. Bigbang is the first group that members have solo careers without disbanding. Before bigbang, groups always disbanded or the member just left if one of them wants to pursuit their own career. But bigbang showed them disbanding is unnecessary. 6. First kpop artist to collaberate with western artist. With Flo Rida in 2009. 7. First to win an international award. In 2011, they won MTV EMA. They beat Breatney Spears that day. 8. They inroduced the concept of Mini Album to kpop. 9. G-Dragon is the one who made idol airport fashion trend. 10. And to this day G-Dragon is still the only soloist from idol groups to win Artist of the Year/Daesang. They shaped today's kpop that is why they are called the KINGS. 1 . Unlike most idol groups, BIGBANG focused on making their own music. They were not known for their ullzzang-like appearances but for their skills as writers, producers, composers, dancers and singers. They were not and they’re still not like any other idol group. BIGBANG is an artist and they try to reflect that on themselves. 2.bigbang the only group that all members are successful with his solo career 3. Big Bang is in the ranks of ‘World’s Highest Paid Celebrities 2016’. As the first Korean artist to get into this lineup, Big Bang beat Maroon 5's income. Not only that, Big Bang's income is also among the third highest in the history of boy band in the world achieved in a year, after Backstreet Boys and One Direction. 4.G-Dragon(leader) is one of the greatest fashion kings in the Asian hemisphere. During his career, he’s been sponsored by many high label brands, including Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Saint Laurent, and several others. King of Fashion in Seoul, G-Dragon, together with the group BIGBANG appeared numerous times, more than 10 times, in Vogue, ELLE, GQ, Esquire, W, Harper’s Baazar and Dazed Korea. This makes them to be the most featured group band on magazine covers. GD was the cover of Vogue China with Bella Hadid. 5. g dragon collaborate with skrillex and diplo, missy elliott, flo rida. even he befriends pharrell williams, justin bieber 6 .bigbang known as boyband who never did lip sync, even most people commented that they eat cd because of their good voice, they even say boyband who is not smart to lipsync ckck Ps:just watch thay live performance G-Dragon : Producer, Singer-songwriter, Rapper, Designer, Cultural Pioneer, Fashion ICON, etc.. - who, the first and the most perfect producing idol, since GD nowadays idols followed him into producing. - who, entered the list of top 10 legend composers in his 20s - who, made own national hit song at the age of 19 and make his all album to be national hits - who, received high praise from critic and a public at the same time - who, first made a word 'out of idols' and has changed perception of idols into artists - who, won MTV award 8 years ago before K-pop became famous - who, made the solo world tour before K-pop became famous - who, CNN interviewed and Forbes calculated his assets before K-pop became famous - who, already made a over billion views before RU-vid explodes - who, King of sold-out, make 200$ shoes to be 2000$ without broad promotion - who, the first Asian male muse of Chanel, Chanel made a solo ad for him - who, received special only one products for him from Chrome Hearts, Givenchy, etc. - who, already said 'Black is matter' in 2014. the first person to do what contemporaries don't do - who, makes you check the year because his fashion ahead of the times - who, idol of idols, celeb of celebs, role model of singer and rapper after all this achievement, he is still HOT!!! He's a G-DRAGON, KING of KPOP is coming GD’s contribution to fashion and art are huge af. He was sponsored by LV 1 year after his debut. He was the first Asian ambassador of Chanel, the first Korean to invited to Paris Fashion Week. Not only that, he invented fashion airport, hairdyeing (the most colorful hair before was brown, GD tried every damn hair color, style), he broke the rules of gender clothing for idols (he wore so many female stuff, yet still cool as fuck). Additionally, GD and TOP are ranked in Top 50 Art Collectors To Watch, they are both in love with pop art, abstract art particularly. The furniture, paintings in their house cost tens of millions of dollars. GD even made a pair of $2 socks trending, and his cheap slipper when he enlisted.

Fyi stray kids produces and writes their own music. They have a sub unit called 3racha they even made music together before their debut as a group. The three members of 3racha are the most copyrighted 4th gen idols (Bang Chan Changbin and Han)

stray kids red and blue eyes explanation: in stray kids 2021 expectation video ( where they gave vague descriptions of what they'll be doing this year) there was a part where was a part where a blue and red line combines to make purple, so the blue and red eyes are just one example of stray kids hinting at new concepts and ideas. basically, this is just one example of why stray kids are one of the best bands the have ever existed, they put in so much effort into everything they do that sometimes not even devoted fans see all the details.

Regarding BLACKPINK, New Zealand is closest to Australia (1000 miles). The girl with the silver hair was born in New Zealand then moved to Australia. The girl with the blonde and black hair spent five years studying in New Zealand. The rapper with bangs is actually Thai, she grew up in Thailand, and the girl with long black hair was born and raised in S. Korea.

EXO doesn't stick to one genre they explore their music that's why.

MONSTA X is the meaning of PERFECTION. All dancers, singers, visuals, and the RAP LINE is one of the best in all KPOP. You should stan more MONSTA X. KINGS👑🤴❤

NCT , all units are art

Stray Kids, the five-star michelin chefs!

with the stray kids one .... I was like "dude.... you ain't ready... YOU AIN'T EVEN READY!!!!!!!"

SM artists has a greatest artist.. thanks for your reaction to NCT & EXO they're SM artist of course. SM is a complete package trully... the vocals, dances, visuals of course, and one more the artist who have a comedy talent.. lol! I hope you can makes any reactions more to SM artists... thanks for your kindly, bro!

My absolute favorite group is Seventeen! Not only are all of the members just so well-rounded and insanely talented, but watching their Going Seventeen episodes on Mondays really brightens my day. Whenever I'm sad, watching their videos truly makes me happy and forget my problems for a bit. All in all, imma Carat forever, and I highly recommend their Going Seventeen series

That's why Kai is one of the best dancer in K-Pop industry... Idol of Idol...

For yg's artists (Bigbang, iKON, Blackpink), you will get full satisfaction by watching their live stage performance cause their stage presence are on another level. And if you noticed, in B-day / Bang Bang Bang / How You Like That, there was a moment where the artists go extra wild just chilling - its a YG's style. Bigbang is like a father to iKON & Blackpink! They rarely have 100% choreo in their songs but the swag + vibes they hold on performance just fire! (You may watch their live stage performance, so you may get what i mean hehe). When iKON were still trainees, bigbang especially Gdragon was their mentor. The basic thing you should know about iKON : 1. BI (leader) was the first idol who got the title "THE BEST SONGWRITER" in 2018 2. Bobby (rapper) was the first idol who won Show Me The Money 3 (rap competition in Korea) & until today still he's still the one and only idol who won the SMTM 3. All of their songs are 99% wrote by the leader (BI) + Bobby (rap line). They literally wrote + composed + produced their own songs. 4. BI (leader) also wrote song to Whistle (Blackpink), Empty (Winner), Born Hater(Epik High), etc 5. Gdragon never gave his song to anyone, but after iKON debut, he gave "I Miss You So Bad" to them as a debut gift. So, for YG's artists - you should watch their stage performance, i guarantee you'll not regret it! hehe. Waiting for you next reaction to them xoxo

Yall saying how "the guy in the red suit" has really good body control...his name is Kai (Kim Jongin) and you should watch his solo debut song Mmmh if you want to see even more body control

Stray Kids All Around the world!!! Stays where are you???

EXO WE ARE ONE 👑

Thank you so much, I've always loved your Seventeen reactions 💎❤️💎💎

My favorite groups are EXO and Up10tion. I stan over 60 groups but those 2 have a special place in my heart, and along with The Boyz, Twice, and SF9, I collect them thoroughly. I've ulted EXO for almost 3 years, but I've been an Up10tion stan for barely 3 months... what can I say lol, they made their way into my heart :)

BTS are the kindest people in the world instead of going to celebrate or go to after-partys when they win awards they go home and go live to interact with the fans and they donate a lot of money to help children and they are the most halarious people in the world to

MAMAMOO is a group that can offer you any style. They are also even better live. Vocal queens. And very involved in making their own songs

BTS and MAMAMOO I hope you check more BETTER songs from them they write their own lyrics ... stage presence TOPTIER ... These two have BEST lyrics

BTS and Mamamoo! Love them!

my favorite groups are stray kids, mamamoo and bts because I love how much they are involve in their musics, the singers are amazing and all the rappers a great lyricist. They give a very different vibe to kpop too I really love them

MONSTA X was seven , is seven , will be forever 7 for me 😊😊 thank you for featuring them

For monsta x the second rapper he was born in korea bit moved to usa after he was born. He moved around a lot when he was younger and then he went back to korea. The first rapper actually isn't fluent in English but he does speak English a bit and he has really good pronunciation

My favourite groups are Monsta X and Stray Kids :D And thanks for your organisation in your videos :'O It was very helpful :D

EXO & EXO-L WE ARE ONE. EXO SARANGHAJA

MONSTA X!! , They are a whole package. There english songs are pleasing to hear and Korean songs are like fire, they are funny and also when we lost a member, they showed us they're strong and we also should be, so I think that's why I have been staning them

Monsta X! I saw one comment who perfectly describes the meaning of the song: "Fantasia has another meaning for our fandom, Monbebe. We've been through hell from October 2019. We lost one of the members through rumors and false accusations. That's why you can see a burning newspaper in MV. Faceless dancers depicting the epitome of haters hiding behind the screens, hands that want to drag them into another scandal. They dance around them like hyenas. Their choreography also matters. At the end they go crazy and at the end stage they fall to the ground. This is a symbol of victory! This song is a huge masterpiece! The text is also very ironic. This song is really a shout at those who wanted to destroy them. I think that the colors here are very important and fire. In my opinion, it's like a phoenix born of ash. Rebirth. A new beginning. They showed with this album that they are very strong and cannot be destroyed so easily. They are real warriors. "

TEMPO. You need um react to Tempo, by exo. Seriously, guys. SERIOUSLY.

Thank you for reacting to Monsta X^^ aclarations: -Fantasia means Fantasy in spanish. -They are 6 members currently (they were 7 before) and the member that is no longer with them is Wonho (he is a soloist now).

BTS are my all time favorites. They are extremely passionate about music (they have adept rappers from the underground and the members write their own lyrics and produce as well). They are very much influenced by hip hop and it's culture and have often listed artists like Nas, Eminem, Tupac, Jay-Z, Biggie, and Epik High as some of their greatest influences. Over the years their sound morphed from dark & wild (a great album btw) to more mature, philosophical, and poppy. They still often release songs that reflect their beginnings and old school hip hop vibes like Dis-ease from their latest album :)

Seventeen

their entire Discography feels like Stray Kids just like their name their lyrics are independent and rebellious (in a good way)

For all my exo-l's lyrics 02:04:32 and the mv 02:12:41

BTS, enhypen, TXT, Stray kids, aespa and Blackpink

EXO😍😍😍 ANY STYLE U ASK FOR THEY HAVE EVERYTHING THEY R WHOLE PACKAGE VISUALS RAPPERS VOCALISTS INSTRUMENTALISTS ANYTHINGG KING OF VOCALS U JUST NAME IT EXO HAS EVERYTHING

the fact that seventeen makes their own choreography, compose their own music, writes their lyrics and known as the most synchronized kpop group

Big bang write their own lyrics, they themselves choose to make vedio always with deep meaning , album covers , clothing, and they prepare their whole concert stage, lighting and other things to......and in that vedio cowboy and space man it's reference to toy story ....🔥🔥🔥

Monsta X will always give you a good song, performance, concert!!! I love them so much!!!

It's true iKON just wanted to be young, wild and free.. They said it in an interview. You can see it with their other songs like Dumb and Dumber and Freedom. But lemme tell you about this B'day song, Bday and Bees in korean have the same word and so it's a word play

iKON's live performances are LIT. 😊 They are next to their seniors who are good at giving their fans the best of all the best performances. Their songs are all lovable, timely and relatable! Thank you for reacting to our boys. ❤

BIGBANG AND BLACKPINK are just keep on winning on my heart. But yeah in this generation BTS and BLACKPINK reigning the throne in kpop industry. But BIGBANG will remain KINGS.

Ikon music song and dance are on another level even their sad song have swag and all their song have a deep meaning lastly they produce their all song and they are self made man 🙏😌

This was a different reaction since you read the lyrics first and move on to the mv which is really nice. I love BTS

'FANTASIA' is the italian and spanish word for IMAGINATION / FANTASY!!

BIGBANG IS TRUE KINGS OF KPOP👑🏆👑🏆👑🏆😊

NCT BLACKPINK EXO

Everytime Monsta X 👑🔥🔥🔥

Omg, when he said 7 deep, to mean 7 members. I love that

Stray Kids is the genre itself, they have unique discographies and have been producing songs since predebut. STRAY KIDS EVERYWHERE ALL AROUND THE WORLD YOU MAKE STRAY KIDS STAY

For NCT 127 Kick It - "Jeet Kune" refers to Jeet Kune Do - Which is the martial arts system that was invented by Bruce Lee. Not surprising because the whole song is about Bruce Lee, lol.

Exo's aura... They are just on another level..!!!

iKON 💖 Thank you

Clap mv has references to their past mvs btw. I know you’re new to svt but yeah, they included some references which is rlly fun to watch as svt “makes” these mvs😂carats joked before that svt made their title as self-producing idols to the next lvl with this mv😂 But eventually they actually did take it to the nxt lvl with Wonwoo producing and editing Holiday mv and Mingyu basically doin everything for the Snapshoot mv as gifts for carats You should defo see more of their jp mvs bc they’re top tier!👌🏻 Fallin’ Flower and 24H were released this yr and i still cant get over those-heck even Call Call Call and Happy Ending😂

Love BLACKPINK and BIG BANG

BLACKPINK have 4 members, Jennie, Rosé, Lisa, and Jisoo. All 4 of them can sing, dance, play instruments, and write their own songs. Jennie and Lisa (the one with the bangs) are also rappers. Rosé is a Korean born in New Zealand, but grew up in Australia. Jennie is a Korean that grew up in New Zealand. Jisoo is the only Korean member who grew up in Korea. Lisa is Thai. You can't see their full dance choreography in their music videos, but you can see it in their dance practice videos and live performances. Lisa is also the best dancer among them. She also release her own dance videos on her own RU-vid channel, Lilifilm Official. She also did live solo dance performances. She is also a dance mentor. BLACKPINK have been breaking records after records ever since their debut in 2016. The crazy thing is that they released only mini-album (1-4 songs each) until October 2, 2020 when they released their first full album, THE ALBUM. By the time they release THE ALBUM, they already have 3 music videos with more than a billion views. With THE ALBUM, they have a total of about 21 songs. THE ALBUM was ranked #1 on Gaon (Korean music chart), #2 on Billboard 200, Billboard World Album Chart, #1 on Billboard Top Album Sale, #1 and Top 10 in many countries such as Japan, Mexico, Canada, and China (where they sold more than a million copies). Lovesick Girls, the title track for THE ALBUM, was ranked #2 on US Billboard 200, #1 on Billboard Global Excl. US, #1 on Billboard World Digital Song Sale, #1 and top 10 in many countries such as Malaysia, China, and Singapore. How You Like That, their pre-release single for THE ALBUM, set 5 Guinness World Records. BLACKPINK officially become the first girl group ever to be ranked #1 on Billboard Artists 100 and #1 on Bloomberg. They already performed at the Coachella in 2019 and their live performance are the highlight performance at that time. They are also currently the most subscribed music group on RU-vid with more than 53 million subscribers. They are also the most followed female music group on Spotify, surpassing Little Mix last year. You can learn more about them from they Netflix documentary, BLACKPINK Light Up The Sky. Please, react to BLACKPINK Boombayah and Whistle. These 2 songs are their debut songs released in 2016. Make sure to turn on the caption to see the English subtitle. 😎🙏

Disney’s first “Fantasia”, which came out when I was a kid and Walt was still alive, is an animated movie made around Tchaikovsky’s “Nutcracker Suite”. The part with Mickey as a magicians assistant who screws up is only a small part of it and the only part with one of Disney’s standard characters.

EXO are the reason I am into kpop. They have the full package, they deliver any genre in any range, they are incredibly versatile, they have intriguing concepts and are insane live performers. They are so talented that half of them have already had really successful solos. My favorite solo is Mmmh by member Kai.

my fav out this list is nct 127 and seventeen, seventeen is fresh and nct just makes music no one else does and they make music I like. Stray Kids would be next for the reason of both of those combined, in my opinion their music is timeless and always fit for the era of music in the year while staying in a lane they created and even stepping out that lane, which no one else does so i appreciate that abt their concept.

Kim Namjoon Kim Seokjin Min Yoongi Jung Hoseok Park Jimin Kim Taehyung Jeon Junkook BTS i purple you oppas

I dare you to react to their live concerts... You can choose DIAMOND + COMING OVER + RUN THIS +DROP THAT +POWER THE ELYXION IN SOUL for EXO though all their concerts always slay 😎✌️

Stray Kids 💖 BTS 💖

EXO♥️🥰

BIGBANG 👑👑👑👑👑 IKON 🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨

Here for MONSTA X ♡ please more of them

I'm so excited I came here to see a Monsta X reaction. Fantasia is such an interesting song and really grows on you. I'm crazy curious about your take on Gambler

I think my favorite kpop groups are Dreamcatcher, Onewe (kband) , Stray Kids, IKON, Seventeen, Mamamoo and Wonder Girls (who introduced me to Kpop with "Why so Lonely" and "Nobody") For soloists, AKMU (though they are a duo), Lee Hi, Chungha, Dawn, Jamie (formerly Park Jilin when she was in Jyp), and HyunA Those are only my favorites, but I like a lot of other groups too 😅 It's just so hard to choose and kpop has so many genres

NCT!!! and nct means Neo Culture Technology~

Seventeen💕💎 Stan talent

For icon, bzzz is "wae" in korean and it also translates to "why" so they're saying why why why (questioning why the are mindless creatures in a hive (kpop industry) following rules when they just want to be free) and they're also saying bzzz bzzz bzzz (to follow the bee theme). They are honey bees in a hive trying to please the "queen" who also represents the fans

omg I love the format of this video ? The way you are checking out lyrics first to discuss the meaning, you earned a subscriber ! I’m so glad you reacted to stray kids, Love from France 🇫🇷❤️

I love the way you analyze the videos, and really take the time to read the lyrics! You guys are so open minded, it's refreshing to see. Keep it up!

BlackPink, Bigbang, Ikon, Treasure, Stray Kids, NCT, EXO, Mamamoo and Got7. 🥺❤️

Fantasia is the spanish word for fantasy😂

Exo we r one...❤️❤️❤️

Bruce Lee wore the iconic yellow jumpsuit in the unfinished movie, Game of Death, not Enter the Dragon.

Mamamoo Queen of vocals

Good point with the mic mic bungee part i didn't think of that 😂

I was laughing like the devil when they we're making their assumptions about love shot EXO...

SEVENTEEN RIGHT HERE !!

YG Artist is a monster rookies in their respective debut year. Bigbang 2ne1 Winner iKon Blackpink Akmu -these groups became most succesful among International fans, they are Global Groups. and now Treasure, a newly debuted boy group on YG, follow the steps, becoming more well known around the world, They awarded as Rookie of the year, a 3 month year old group did that, named as Global Monster Rookie this year.

I always love all YG song🥰🥰🤩

I SEE EXO I CLICK!

I cannot believe I sat through TWO AND A HALF HOURS of kpop reactions! I really need a freaking life man lmao

Stan Monstax Stan Talent

wow thank you for making this video beautifully🖤from lyrical breakdowns, group introduction, analyses, mv creation..all appreciated🤝🏽

Felix really explained BTS' Mic Drop very well. The Mic Drop was really inspired by Barack Obama's speech. In this song, they're dissing their haters. And what he also said about not messing with these guys, that's correct indeed, you haven't seen what they're really capable of yet. If you guys like raw rap, you should definitely check out BTS' rap line (RM, SUGA & JHOPE) cypher series (Cypher part 1 - 4), where they diss their hater (you'll be shocked!) BTS have had a lot of hardships and struggles. But now they're International kpop sensation, worldwide icons. They're not a typical boyband, they are a definition of true art. 💜BTS💜 💜KPOP💜

Stray kids!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Monsta X is 7 forever🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 WONHO left the group he is solo artist now check out his debut MV "OPEN MIND"

nct 127 and monsta x ❤❤

iKON serves a lot of people. Even the kids. They have been donating in foundations for kids cause their former leader also the members adore kids so much because of their innocent mind and spirit. Love Scenario was not just inspired by the movie Lala Land.It was also inspired by the kids he saw because he wanted to have a young vibe which all people can relate. That was why the melody he created, catches the heart of the children around the world. 😊 My daughter likes the song too. 😊

Mamamoo, I adore them and am so happy that you featured them! All of their music is fire! I truly enjoyed seeing them on your channel, and in this video!

Ah, B-DAY, everything is exactly as you expected... until you get to the bees

Wow I love this channel glad I found it, keep up the good work guys!
