I'm so glad that you showed "Boy". This song is so well done and so underrated at the same time. EXID is really a talented group. More people should know their efforts and support them. Thanks!
Theres an announcement that EXID will probably disband due to some members are finding new agencies and others will focus on their own careers but they will stat as EXID and come back some day......may15 will probably their last comeback.
But still, the only one that was appreciated by general public in korean is only "Up and Down" kind of sound, even though for me their other sound is as great if not better than that. I'm little mad because of that
Exid just never disappoint, their discography is full of amazing & diverse songs. LE's helped in composition for practically all of them. Please support them when they eventually comeback with Solji for the 1st time in 2 years! Thank you for the reaction!
The album Eclipse is rly one of the most interesting yet underrated album of EXID or even all kpop group (at least at that period of time) I rly like their title track Night Rather Than Day, that is rly unique and well produced. But Korean just slpt on them coz they r not in a full lineup or wtever. I m glad that u guys finally react more EXID coz they rly produce good song and rly an unique kpop girl grp. Hope u guys can react more in the future ! :)
Eclipse is so awesome. EXID songs have a bit of a novelty to it. Eclipse is the most serious and the most artistic among the rest of EXID's albums. I love the girls a lot.
I'm so happy Hyerin's voice was praised! Her vocals are very underrated in my opinion. I'm extremely happy that Solji is back because, let's be honest, Leggos missed OT5 and I missed Mama Heo immensely in the past year or so. However, I'm slightly sad only because Hyerin won't be as noticed as much. She is my bias and she's always being overshadowed. When it was OT4, she had the least lines but she had some limelight. Now, I feel like it will be like going back to square one. I can only shrug that sadness off since I am pretty sure she's happier now than when Solji was ill. She has Solji back, she's singing in the range she's comfortable in and not burdened with singing the higher notes. If she's happy, I'm happy for her.
Hey I'm a new EXID fan and honestly Solji's absence while unfortunate helped Hyelin to shine indeed but with Solji back I feel like Hyelin still shines, will still get the chance to shine because DDD and Lady showed new fans and old fans that that girl can sang not sing but sang and I for one see both Solji and Hyelin as power house vocalist going forth.
I’m so happy you decided to react to more EXID! They’re one of my ult groups, and even though they’re pretty famous in Korea, they’re still criminally underrated. Every member is so talented; LE is the best female rapper in kpop and a fantastic songwriter, Solji won King Of Masked Singer, and they’re the only group to have all of its members compete on KOMS.
Thanks for reacting to EXID again. EXID, with Mamamoo are my favorite groups. EXID are soooo good. They have great voices which fit together really well. With LE involved in the lyric writing, music composition and production, those strengths are amplified. Solji, who was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism (over-active thyroid gland) in November 2016, and who returned in August 2018 (yay!), is a voice coach and has a wonderful range and ability (she does a great version of 'Maria' (Blondie 1999). Shame she wasn't involved with 'Boy' as she would have great on it. When Solji was away, Hyerin took over Solji's singing parts and her singing improved no-end. You can hear her improvement in 'Boy'. I wouldn't be surprised if Solji was giving her personal voice coaching sessions.
Up & down introduced me to EXID but not this up & down. They have another one they made for a kdrama called incarnation of money. When I read that the became popular for this song I thought it was for that version then I learned it was a new one XD
my little sister is not a kpop fan, she's more into Japanese things, but she's really into Exid vocals, he said their vocals are very awesome and high quality. I agreed
Hyerin is really pretty... but then she does silly stuff and it's all ruined. Then she goes back to normal and she's really pretty again. She's really charming.
키라박 I love you for two reasons. 1) you are right Boy is the best thing to happen to kpop. 2) I see Krystal in your profile pic, meaning you to must be a MeU too and I’m still waiting for the comeback. You are an intellectual my friend 🙌Respect!
FOR AS LONG AS I LIVE I will never understand how Up and Down flopped when it first came out. when I heard that song all the way through the first time it was instant love. I have been stanning EXID ever since. to hear these musicians confirm the greatness of this song gives me so much validation. welcome to all the new LEGGOs!
i know up & down is almost like meme status in the k-pop world but i honestly love it it’s so good especially the bridge and the last chorus. like kevin says, the sax and the chorus playing over the rap and then the adlibs in the background in the final chorus is sooo addicting.
"Up & Down" was the track that taught me how little I truly knew about the daily pop-cultural experience of people in Korea. I had been a fan of EXID since they debuted with their previous lineup, so I heard "Up & Down" the day it dropped and thought it was brilliant. I saw them perform it on all the music shows, so I assumed that they and this song were as popular as they and it deserved to be. In the US, if you're performing on a ton of shows, it's because you're popular, and I just unthinkingly assumed it was the same in Korea. Plus, it was *so good,* how could it not be huge? It wasn't until the song blew up for real and they went back on all the shows to re-promote (which is completely unheard of) that I realized the average person in Korea hadn't known who they were. It was a shock, and a good lesson in perspective. P.S. Kevin is the only other person I've ever heard talk about perfect pop songs like that! I feel you. Other perfect pop songs: SNSD's "Gee," BTS's "DNA," Taeyang's "Eyes, Nose, Lips."
Saw the notification and then screamed silently to not scare the people around : "Oh my god yes ! I've been waiting for this day !" Now I'm waiting for the day you'll put Gethsemane of Jinho of Pentagon on the react-to playlist 😁 As usual, a super great reaction. I particularly loved Fiona's. It was such an innocent and pure reaction. THAT IS THE EXID POWER GUYS. Watching this video made me want to listen again to the Eclipse album, that I absolutely love ! Besides EXID being my ultimate group, I really loved the way I could hear things I weren't able to hear thanks to this video, even though I've listened to their sons *a dozen times*. Special thanks to Isaac who complimented Hyerin's voice. She deserves (as all of them) better recognizion (is that how you spell it ? I'm French sorry) of her voice that is just incredible. She's been on king of the masked singer and she killed it ! Thank you again for this reaction umu and for the love you're spreading on artists :) YOU ARE THE ONE INCREDIBLE. P-S : Are you planning of doing some drama OST reactions too ? If you do I have plenty of recommendations to make !
I think Boy is one if their if not their best song ever. The harmonizations and vocalizations are so on point in Boy its amazing. I absolutely love this song. Love and respect from Cali.
Yaay EXID is one of my favorite groups! I'm glad "Boy" was chosen as well; I never realised how the compositions helped create the vibe of "needing someone", or at least I think it does LOL I especially liked how Kevin described it as having a lot of space, I think it's a great explanation Despite that, I still like Up&Down even more... EXID's songs are just too good
The entire Eclipse album is so underrated and I don’t understand why people don’t love it more. They showed us a completely different side and it worked so well for them. I wished they would’ve won more for it.
Not having listened to much EXID, Boy gave me a whole new appreciation for the group. ReacttotheK is also the only reaction channel where I actually listen to find new music 😍
Heize's Teokkbokki bro ikr the amount of people I know who diss on them for all their songs "sounding the same", like have you not listened to one other song other then a title track? It's so frustrating
The 3 songs that convinced me to listen, and was also my introduction, to kpop: 1. Blackpink "Ddu-Ddu" 2. Red Velvet "Bad Boy" 3. EXID "Boy" Honorable mention MAMAMOO "Egotistic"
Exid is one of the most favourite of mine because they are so talented. While LE can compose music and rap well, others have really good vocals and each of them have different vocal (not sure what the term is) which can let you immediately recognize who is singing. And also because of these, their harmony (is it this call? duet but use different "level") is so good.
watching EXID get appreciated for their music makes me very happy. they have really really good b-sides which deserve so much attention. thank you for the reaction!
This group is sooo underrated in KPOP, like, their rappers and singers are too good and their music is also fantastic but its just shocking they're not that well known unlike those other girl groups. Like, they can hit very high notes and had badass rappers. These girls are slayers how come they're not famous??? Ugh so frustrating
omg i never gave exid b side a chance! but boy is really something else after listening to this. wow i’m keeping an eye and seems like i have to dive in deeper to exid since i need to music now while waiting for my fav groups comeback 💃💃
I has replayed this video many times. As a LEGGO, I'm happy to hear your reaction. Solji is a vocal legend, LE is the best rapper, Hani with amazing low voice, Hyelin is a great singer and Junghwa with husky but clear voice. Thanks for your reaction, I'm Vietnamese.
So satisfying to c LE's musical genius gets recognized in the professional ears of them (esp for U&D knowing how many drafts she had made). Love seein how ur channel react to the music over the video which iz standout frm d react channels out there. If u may, i like to request react to EXID future cb since its going to b a full squad (hav a feeling its gona b another great piece)
Conocí a EXID gracias a este canal, desde hace unos meses las staneo y no me arrepiento de nada, las cinco tienen mucho talento, me siento muy orgullosa de ellas, estoy feliz de que de nuevo sean las 5, estoy esperando nuevo material de ellas. 💕
Boy is just one of my favorite Kpop songs period, it's sooo freaking good. Also this reaction has pretty much confirmed that I'm a sucker for songs with syncopated rhythms haha
Kevin: "It's just a well-constructed song that makes me want to put it on LOOP." Exactly what I did when the song came out. I still do, sometimes. It's such a MOOD!
