sugar rush ride being the best song ever its literally addicting like a drug

What I enjoy a lot with you, aside from the editing knowledge, is how you pick up the story and breaks it down with us viewers!

I’m just gonna put in some theories I’ve heard connecting to this -The train is the train from Magic Island mv -The animals that are connected to the boys are actually seen in the trailers introducing the boys way back then -That devil may be the cat that you see in certain mv’s (the eternally mv for example you see it once Yeonjun sees his dead body) - The cat is definitely attached to Yeonjun some way (Nap of the Star, Eternally - when we get to Taehyun’s vision, he sees Yeonjun dead with his throat slit… jeez he died twice in one video - and I think Magic Island when the boys are in the train) - The music videos are not in order (it may be obvious but I’ll put it down anyways… a lot of people when telling a story using something other than their voice or writing usually doesn’t post it in order, take The Backrooms or FNAF for example) - The Star Seekers (their manhwa) may be connected to the story just a little bit (back to the cat with Yeonjun, that cat actually connects with the character that is Yeonjun’s persona) - Taehyun has probably seen things he wasn’t supposed to see - Beomgyu has probably heard things he wasn’t supposed to hear - Hueningkai may be innocent in all of this - The members may betray each other, or maybe trying to save each other (Can’t you see me - Beomgyu suffocating Taehyun under a blanket) - A lot of people speculate Beomgyu isn’t as good as he may be - The boys might actually be dead and Yeonjun is the only one alive (0x1=Lovesong) - Lo$er x L♡ver and 0x1=Lovesong might be first in the timeline with the boys, then comes Run Away where things are starting to take a downfall - Yeonjun may be the cause of the boys death, and the cat taunts him for that - Going back to Hueningkai being innocent, in the cysm mv one of the scene’s are the boys together inside a room of the house, but Kai is the only one outside the door, someone speculated that it’s because those boys have done something bad or wrong, so Kai being outside the door may be telling us that he has little or nothing to do with the actions or secrets the boys have done or kept (I say little to do because I can’t remember if Kai was partially in the door frame, or if he was outside) And here are some questions to ask - What was Beomgyu trying to keep away and who was the person he was trying to keep it away from? (Eternally - Beomgyu’s Vision) - Why is the cat so connected to Yeonjun? Why does it want the boys to suffer? - Who was the girl in the Eternally music video, and what do her words mean on the window? (I saw in someone’s theory that it might be connected to this mv) - Why is Hueningkai the only one who might have been left out on all the secrets that the boys have, or all the bad things they may have done? Well that’s all I have, these are just theories and stuff a I’ve heard from others (keep in mind these may be people’s opinions and may not be true to the actual story, but that’s what theories are! They may not always come true, but they may help us get closer to the truth.) also questions are questions that I came up with (but may also be questions others have come up with too so I won’t take credit for any of this! Also I’ll add more theories and questions once I get more information. ♥︎

The choreography in this is lit. Unexpected, minimalistic, esthetic but powerful and matches the sound and story perfectly. Such a great work.

I like your edit! It actually captures the feeling of sugar rush. It feels like a montage you would see when a character in a movie hallucinates. Very jarring and trippy.

FIRST OFF - Yeonjun fit this concept to a point where I can't explain - @JordanOrme the fact that you're appreciating K-pop music while also gving me facts is honestly great - TXT will always be iconic Jordan Orme is probably the biggest mood in the whole RU-vid community coz when he likes an edit. He LIKES it with no shameeee. Thx bro :) #TXT #SugarRushRide #JordanOrme

some important things in this album- victims of the devil by the window who lures them into endless fantasies which distract them from their goal. the magic island is the neverland young people facing temptation The devil is the odd-eyed cat Devil by the window- fighting the cat Hangman's tree, Mermaid lagoon, and the misty mountains,Yggdrasil (references) the train is called promise and has the number 304 Yeonjun is the first one to get tempted and drags Taehyun with him Lost boys in neverland glitter gives the ability to fly- fairy dust Devil is a liar Butterflies show their actual colors(they change their colour) the tinkling of bells is the language of fairies Tinkling turns into noise ( tinnitus) The dream is a Lie. Even if the dream felt good, losing yourself in an illusion can become a nightmare that won't let you escape paradise is full of lies because it is based on broken promises peter pan- wendy leaves neverland just like the boys Soobin is the praying mantis, Yeonjun is the caterpillar and pink flower, Beomgyu is a butterfly, Terry is a bird, and Kai is a gecko

This reaction was so good! You pointed out so many things i missed. Also you give it from a professional editor point of view and educate us while being entertaining! Love your videos, keep it up! Editors really are storytellers and you kinda proved it in this video! Love it!

It’s really such a great song txt did not disappoint they smashed and dominated everywhere this cb ❤️

This is my theorie but I think: - Beomgyu didn't fall for the temptation cuz he was running from the butterflies since the begining - Soobin with the water is basen oof the story of the girl who loved herself so much that when she looked at her reflection in the water she jumped I think that's the story Soobin wants to tell :)

the way you always do your research about the storyline and explain it in a fun way while also reacting to the song and talking abt the editing and all.. its so amazing

Jordan you're so real for your reactions but the way you pronounce their names kills me 😂😂😂

Oh my word I’m losing my mind because I *never* noticed the praying mantis or caterpillar before, BUT!! THAT IS HUGELY IMPORTANT BECAUSE-in TXT’s pre-debut Questioning Films, each member had representative animals, flowers, shapes, Morse code, and body parts (eye, shoulder, heart, etc.) Guess what animals are in their Questioning Films? Soobin - Praying Mantis Yeonjun - Caterpillar Beomgyu - Butterfly Taehyun - Bird Huening Kai - Gecko If Bookish Theories already touched on this oops I completely missed it but wow I love TXT’s concept team???? Whoever is keeping all this so consistent and meta, I wanna give them all the bouquets and praise

Neverland (farewell) 🎵 Beomgyu: "My paradise is full of lies" I love how they conect everything 🥰

BOOKISH THEORIES YEAAAAAAAAAA I've been a fan of her since like 2020. She deserves more attention for her kpop theories that she makes 3 days prior to the music video release. She is insane.

most important thing to know when watching txt mvs is to understand the theories and lores from past mvs and also the storyline in it as it all connects together like a movie

The reason why I LOVE Jordan’s Editor reacts videos is not just because I get to know the process of editing, but also because I get to know the story of the song I wouldn’t have known of. Thank you Jordan for the amazing videos!

WAIT THIS GAVE ME AN IDEA: uk u said that Taehyun landed safely while Soobin drown, it could be all becoz of the cat aka the devil that’s tempting them. Taehyun’s levitating but the cat could have possessed him in the form of the eagle ( we see it diving towards Taehyun, remember the cat can transform aka shapeshift, like turning into a dragon, so maybe an eagle too? It doesn’t want Taehyun suspecting since he’s like the detective of the group, he’s Morse code was ‘clue’) while he was doing so as he was away from everyone. As everyone started getting tempted in the so called ‘Neverland’ and paradise of the island ( Yeonjun with that honey like substance, Beomgyu with water, Kai with the trees, Beomgyu with the butterflies) the cat gets hold of Taehyun to stop him from ruining the whole devil plan, which is why we see Taehyun leading the others supposedly out of the island to the boat when it really is just the cat, leading them to the bad side while the real Taehyun is trapped on the island. Kai looking back before they left signifies how he isn’t the real Kai either. We always see Kai looking back in trailers, mvs and so on, but that is NOT the real Kai. The real Kai, if u look at frost mv, is trapped in the mirror maze ( when the fake Kai jumped through the glass mirror, shattering it, we see the real Kai with angel wings in the reflection of a broken glass piece) the cat could have transformed into Kai to chase and hunt him down, just like frost, trapping him away from his friends. Kai was always the support of the members, especially Yeonjun( we see him comforting and helping Yeonjun a lot, and in nap of a star mv he’s the one that found Yeonjun first and helped him and the others reunite together) so in a sense Kai is the one that keeps the whole group together, which might be the reason why the cat comes for him first to break apart the group slowly one by one. We see the fake kai has mechanical wings instead of real ones, like he’s faking and trying to not expose his real identity and it’s all due to the cat. The cat has already got to Beomgyu, somehow possessing him in a sense ( can’t you see me mv where he tried to strangle and suffocate Taehyun under the blankets) Beomgyu was always seen being closest with Taehyun ( blue hour mv they were together on the tree, can’t you see me mv they were together too, eternity trailer they were together as well and many more) so why would he want to kill his best friend? Because of the cat, after he suffocated Taehyun we see him return to his senses and having a look of confusion like he wasn’t aware of what he had just done. The ending of blue hour mv showed Beomgyu alone on the tree, maybe that’s foreshadowing how the cat was going to get to each member one by one until only Beomgyu was left. Beomgyu seem special in a sense like the cat didn’t want to possess him entirely, or trap him. It was always short. As if there’s something the cat wants to know or wants Beomgyu to do. He’s also the one holding the mystery book and fighting with a particular person in eternally mv ( could be either Kai or Taehyun judging from the outfit but most likely Kai since that person had a bulky build. Ofc fake Kai, aka the cat, wanting to obtain that particular book.) another reason why the cat took kai first was probably because he was Yeonjun’s comfort, and Yeonjun is the whole reason the cat is after them in the first place. Yeonjun was always the one dying in mvs, dances, performances, but he always comes back as if nothing happened. The whole fate of TXt lies in his hands, the cat would want to get to him the most, getting the others are just clearing the path for the cat to finally confront Yeonjun. In ox1 love song Japanese version, we see Taehyun gone ( ending where only his uniform was left) foreshadowing that he would be the next target. Taehyun was doing his best to figure out what was happening to the point he even wore Kai’s fake wings in an attempt to understand more ( he has powers as seen in the web toon to borrow others magic) there’s another theory about Taehyun and Beomgyu in can’t you see me mv, which is Beomgyu wasn’t possessed by the cat yet but he, upon seeing the others’ odd behaviours ( Soobin especially in the mv) starts realising what’s going on ( he’s also the first person to actually understand what is happening) and that a devil is behind everything, and he knows Taehyun is trying to figure things out and by doing so the devil would come for him, hence Beomgyu wanted to protect his best friend. He covered Taehyun with the blanket to protect him and prevent him from encountering something bad aka the ‘devil by the window’ we see the shot zoom out the window as if it’s from someone’s POV outside the window staring at Beomgyu supposedly ‘killing’ Taehyun when he is not, instead he’s trying to show the image of him hurting his friend to trick the devil. The lights turned red during that scene, many people said it’s blood and killing, but I personally think it represents danger, and Beomgyu knows, so he’s covering Taehyun *FROM* the danger to give his best friend more time to figure everything out since Beomgyu knows Taehyun’s the only one who can do it. The look he gave the camera was like staring into someone’s eyes, and he’s expression wasn’t like ‘ oh yay I killed my friend’ but more alert and cautious about the ‘devil by the window’ which might also explain why he stays close to Taehyun throughout a lot of the mvs and vids as he wants to watch out for him and protect him just in case the cat tries to interfere, unfortunately the cat figures it out and when they were lured onto magic island aka the island in srr mv, it makes butterflies attack Beomgyu, driving him further away from Taehyun, giving the devil a chance to eliminate Taehyun. The whole Neverland thing is just a nightmare disguised as a daydream, I personally would like to follow this theory more lol SOOO LONG 😭

I love txt mvs they just feel so different from others like every single thing in their mvs is meant to be there and the story behind them are crazyy i also love how even in their first mv even to its more simple it has such cool stories behind😊

The best reaction ever. I love it when knowledgeable/expert people like you break down everything accurately and not just react on the surface. 3 months after 1st watching the vid and I still learned a lot. I hope more will watch your reaction so they'll know just how deep txt's concept and artistry is.

Bro! Someone Hire Jordan for a Kpop Mv RIGHT NOW!!! Your edit was LIT!!

I'm absolutely blown away watching this video. When I first saw the MV, I just assumed it was a "typical" Kpop MV of dancing and visual shots. I had no idea that there was anything resembling a story in the MV, but Jordan's walkthrough makes everything so clear, I can't believe I missed it in the first place. Awesome job!

Ive seen this mv sooo many times (both for enjoyment but also to break things down and find hidden meanings) AND STILL Jordan picked up and mentioned things i did not (the water drop on the white flower with soobin for example). Im also really glad he watch Bookish Theories videos to get an contextual understanding of this concept, coz it does really help 😆 ALSO, omg, Jordans edit ver was sooooo cool!!

near the end when they sing "nappa neon liar naege neo mwol han geoya sugar" it translates to "You're bad, liar, what did you do to me, sugar" and "nappeun geon naya al-a mosdoen desire sugar" to "It's me who's bad, I know, naughty desire sugar" just thought it'd be interesting to mention because it fits with what you were saying about how the devil lied and the desires turned bad.

Jordan never fails to give both humorous, professional reactions as well as relatable fanboying over TXT. Fighting! ♥

as a new moa, i've been obsessed w/ this mv lately and always knew there was some meaning to it but never this much!! it surely connects very well to the album and their lore in general, thank you for your explanation!

They slayed this comeback! 🤩💙

The thing is, Taehyun not falling, but landing safely and not being affected by temptation, the same way as the other members, is also intentional. It tells us, about each characters role in the story, in more detail

My interpretation was that taehyun was the last of the group to fully immerse himself in his temptation and he was sort of encouraged by the rest to do so (i got this from the choreo of when they're all dragging him). Once the rest of the group starts to realize how damaging their temptations are after lengthened exposure, and that one by one they're getting trapped within the temptaion, they're able to warn taehyun before it gets too bad for him-hence huening kai's "get away." I think this is why taehyun was able to land safely while the others had a much harder time while trying to get away.

Woah you actually took time and effort to learn bout the whole mv? massive respect dude you don't know how rare this actually is in kpop reactions 😭😭😭😭 thank you for this vid!!

the explanation is on point, and the fact that the last song of the album is "farewell, neverland" everything is connecting, the album's concept is so incredible

Wait so they're in neverland, at the end of the mv they leave neverland and then there's Farewell Neverland's lyrics (I mean, even the title lol) being "Goodbye neverland, my love" probably confirming that they actually left that place- I've seen hundreds of these theories and they're so smart but also make you even more confused 😭 *I'll go back to watching more txt theory videos now thanks-* 🧚‍♀️✨🔪

why can you always be keen to see details, and even be able to explain theory in a very easy way that many people can understand... AH GOOD JOB, Jordan!! Sending much love to you and your wife and family too!!😃😃

I really like your explanations both from editing points and the meaning of the MVs

Whenever I heard this song I was hyped like the very first time I listen to it, literally like a drug cause i'm addicted

the way jordan explains the story of the whole mv and explains the edits is just wholesom

7:43 hooning kai 7:46 yungjun 7:47 bumgoo i love it 💀😭

I'm moa but i got a goosebumps of your details explained

Bruh. Now I gotta go do a deep dive of TXT lore cause this is wayyy too interesting!

9:21 The sound Beomgyu is hearing is actually related another song in their album, Tinnitus. According to Google "Ringing in ears, Also called: Tinnitus Ringing or buzzing noise in one or both ears that may be constant or come and go, often associated with hearing loss."

Great video! one thing about Soobin, as his temptation is a pray mantis i know that there is a condition when a parasite can take it over witch causes it to drown its self. Also just connecting this, in their webtoon, Beomgyu is the first one to realize that something weird could be going on in their story, like how in the mv he was the first to get that weird feeling. Btw they did have a "nightmare" concept in their trailers.

AH I ALMOST FORGET, in every MV that he reacts and reviews, he always gives a point of view from the MV.. it can be educational messages, messages about mental health, messages about life,, everything.. and I really like that! very inspiring for sure. thanks Jordan Orme!! :)

THAT EDIT WAS AMAZINGGG !!!!!

But notice how everyone else touched they're temptation but beomgyu is trying to avoid it, maybe he knows something

This is one of the best kpop music videos.fight me

Jordan! I love your reaction videos. I always learn so much about editing and I love going back and watching the videos again after you point out stuff that I hadn't noticed before. Some of your videos of my favorite songs I've gone back and watched over and over to enjoy the videos better and be able to point out additional transition and editing stuff to my friends to appreciate when I share videos with them. Keep rocking and thanks!

omg i was waiting for this!! the way you do a research of their storyline and share it in a fun an easy way, plus reacting' and editing was v-dope. thank you so much for supporting' them this cb.

This was really the most beautiful MV of TXT

FINALLY YOU REACT TO THIS MASTERPIECE!

TXT are always there to bring fairy MV that are so perfect like uhhhh

OMG! Finally! I have been waiting for you to react to Sugar Rush Ride by TXT! ))) Thank you so much!

I love your reactions. The fact that you get really immersed into the editing to tell the story behind it, you don’t let anything get away. That shows your skills 🤯 I understand most of their storyline from you 😭

Omg these ideas are so amazing!! I can never thank you enough for everything you’ve helped me do so far!

The way you explain everything is so easy to understand I love it, why do I enjoy the idea of you teaching kpop groups to make their own videos so much LOL

Omg you are so fun to watch 🫶 I literally enjoyed the video!

Thank you so much for describing the storyline I had no clue that most of the video was based off that. So friggin cool

I appreciate your videos so much I feel like I understand the storyline so much better now that you have broken it down!! Great video as always!!

Have watched srr for a ton of times but seeing your reaction made me notice the tiniest details I've missed. It was such a good insight, thank you.

i love watching your videos bc no matter how much i think i pick up and understand from kpop mvs is nowhere near how much you do and the way you explain it to us, thank you so much 💟

You’re the best story teller You break down all the details about this MV 👏

i think i shart myself just as thick as the lore and the excitement that rushed through me SLURP- this is such a good sONG

OMG earliest I have ever been 👀 Thanks for the reaction and explanation as always, Jordan!

Jordon!!!!! Your edit was freaking amazing I literally got goosebumps!! I'll actually prefer your edit instead of actual one cause it's just amazinggg!!!!

I was literally waiting this whole time for your reaction thanks bro✨

I’m so happy that you explained the story because I’ve watched that video for sure 10+ times and it was confusing for me. Also watching this video pointed out so many major things I missed those 10+ times thanks and now I’m subscribed

The edit you made of the sugar rush ride mv is so good. I love it!!

I came back to this video because I remember the "Promise" word you captured from the very beginning and now TXT world Tour name is ACT: PROMISE😍😍😍😍

ohmygosh the theories are blowing my mind sdgfhgsjf so the two tracks 'sugar rush ride' and 'farewell, neverland' from the album ARE connected!?!!

Your edit shows the temptation and how they are high from it, I love it

I’ve been waiting so long for you to do SRR😭🫶i absolutely love your videos

bro your edit is 🤌🏼💋✨ chef's kiss

I was listening to this song til you posted this 1 minute ago I have literally listened to this song the whole night on loop

Your breakdown is superb as always thank you

As a fellow drummer🥁, your edit was SO Satisfying to my Eyes 👀 & Ears👂 The cut timing and those effects accented the beats perfectly 👌

Jordan is my therapy. Your reactions and editing genius analyzations help me understand the lore and interpretations of the mv. I totally recommend listening to Bookish Theories because it will help you have some idea about kpop mvs especially a concept like TXT's.

Tbh I never seen a video quite like this.. a reaction + theory + advertisement+ tutorial video..😂

Love that you referenced Bookish Theories!!! Always enjoy watching you explain how the editing helps build the stories!

bro this fit so much with their bsides farewell Neverland I'm cryin

Woah.. i really never noticed the story telling in this M/V. There's such an interesting story behind it, and you really explained it really well!! Bravo!

This video is amazing, thank you so much for the details 😍

i didn't even noticed the caterpillar and praying mantis, and i've watched it countless COUNTLESS times HAHAHAHAH😭🤚

your good at explaining the story line of this mv like well done

Your edit was seriously amazing 👏🏼

Recently started watching your videos and im so glad i did. As a kpop fan and also someone trying to learn more about editing, your videos are literally perfect for me

Found this helpful pronunciation for you online for their names for future references! :) Soobin- (Sue-Bin) Huening Kai- ( Hue-Ning-Kai) Yeonjun-( Yeon-Jun) You can pronounce the Jun as in June Taehyun-( Tae-Hyun) Beomgyu-( Beom-Gyu)

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO I WAS ACTUALLY WAITING

The edit is amazing!!! I feel like it would be a great teaser!

this is probably the best breakdown on srr mv.🔥

This guy is so freaking smart. Ad+content at the same time 😭 bruh I just realized it’s an ad lol

Wow, i really need this video to understand the whole crazy and creative txt world. Thx si much

IM SO HAPPY YOU GOT ALL THE DETAILS OF THE STORY!!!!!
