INVU is a masterpiece! Hoping you'd check out her other MVs in the future (or even off-cam!) Her music is the best. Can't Control Myself and Fine hurts like hell I and Spark are rly good as well! Tho i feel like you'd love Starlight and Why more She also did a duet with *NCT's Jaehyun* of Starlight!! I was smiling the whole time _(no pressure tho!!! im just rambling cos i love Taeyeon so much hahaha)_
Taeyeon is supposed to be Artemis in this. I think there are few other albums in kpop that were greek mythology inspired? But i can only remember VIXX tbh they had a Trilogy starting from Zelos to Hades then Kratos, i totally recommend The Closer and Fantasy. On the other hand Taeyeon looked hecking gorgeous here, girlie aint real please and true killing voice was just oof, also i'm glad you're reacting to APINK! When they debuted they had a cute concept which people loved so much and it got them real popular and tbh they have some of the most cute iconic songs in kpop like Mr.Chu and No, No, No or L.U.V but when they grew up at one point they were like done with it and wanted to try something else hence the beginning with I'm So Sick which was their first song that showed their more mature side.
yes finally apink TT TT this group is one of the best groups, they have been in the industry for a long time but they are still keeping up every comeback I feel like I became a fan all over again. Also, the performance for this song is so beautiful especially when they sing live.
SF9 IS A WHOLE PACKAGE, REALLY. IT'S JUST SAD THAT THEY'RE UNDERRATED. THEY'RE ACTORS(ALMOST ALL OF THEM), VISUALS, ENTERTAINERS, GREAT SINGERS AND DANCERS, MODELS (ALL OF THEM ARE TALL), AND SWEET TO FANS, LITERALLY.
Thank you for reacting to Taeyeon 💜 INVU feels so GRAND and so captivating. Taeyeon is Artemis (goddess of the hunt, the moon, virginity etc) here. There're SO MANY versions of this story but this is they choose. Artemis fell in love with a hunter named 'Orion' but her twin brother Apollo was quite against this love affair, though, and devised a plan. One day, while Orion was swimming in a lake with his head barely visible, Apollo went to his sister and challenged her skills as an archer. To prove him wrong, he told her to shoot at Orion's head, whom Artemis barely recognised, as there was a considerable distance between them. Artemis hit the target, unknowingly killing her lover. In the end, Artemis turned Orion to a constellation. "I can't love you, even though I do"
SM is just going off and all out since last year lmao. So excited what they are gonna bring this year, Red Velvet and NCT Dream comeback are already looking so promising!
Apink have been in the industry for nearly 12 years!! They switched up their sound and image to a more mature synth-y approach back in 2018 with I’m So Sick and followed up with %% and Dumhdurum, all of which are amazing and really got them more attention from international fans, but in Korea they’ve been releasing hit after hit since debut with songs like Mr Chu, LUV, and No No No! Also Eunji is 100% one of the best vocalists around
Sf9 are an underrated group, but they’re amazing. They have a more mature vibe and often do very natural sexy concepts. I love it. Also they’re all so fine and just a bunch of very tall forks tbh They deserve a lot of love so I’d love a Sf9 marathon
I'm always happy when people give SF9 love. I know they started to get a lot of attention after kingdom, but I think they're still heavely underrated 😩 They're so good!! Especially once they realised their style was to be sexy 😑🙏 also Zuho is insaaaaane in ny opinion one of the rappers more easily to recognaise, he has such an unique voice and deliver!!
SF9 is an incredibly underrated group in every way. I recommend 'now or never', 'rpm', 'good guy', 'enough' if you want to make a video of this incredible group ♥
Caitlin, thank you for reacting to Apink! I think you would be a huge fan of some their title tracks like "%%" (pronounced Eung Eung), I'm so sick, and Dumhdurum.
Actually Apink debuted in 2011 they are the most girl group I like their music they just have so many amazing songs 🥺🤍🤍 you have to check more songs for them and really Dilemma my favourite comeback group in this year until now🔥
YAY finally a SF9 reaction!!! their music is even more incredible than what you saw on Kingdom, trust me. Once you get around to checking more of their stuff you'll realize how truly amazing they are!! (i hope its in the near future hehe)
SF9 are such a good group and its so sad to see how underappreciated they are!! if you were to ever do a video of their songs (this isn't a request at all i know you're busy!!) i would suggest maybe: good guy, o sole mio, fanatic, tear drop and am i the only one (that song is one of my fav kpop songs ever - i had it in my playlist before i even knew who they were lol).
Sf9 rapper I guess his name Zuho 30:13 . HE IS ALWAYS KILLING ME 😭, there’s a song called “we heung” and his part in this song is EVERYTHING 😭😭😭😭 I mean is absolutely one of his best rap!
Apink were one of the most popular girl groups at their prime time! Also, fun fact: Naeun (from Apink) and Taemin were part of reality show “We got married”, when they were like wife and husband for a long time lmaooo it was so funny and sweet, and they were forced to break up because of Shawols :(
OMG SF9 They are so talented, hardworking and genuine guys. Trauma is my favorite title track from them. Zuho the male version of venus is a criminally underrated main rapper in the industry his flow is out of this world. He is also an incredible producer. I love that SF9 is very mature in sound and concept. Also I have listened to a lot of Kpop albums and SF9 genuinely has one of the best b-sides in Kpop. I am so happy you checked this out I appreciate you Caitlin!
I loved Tempest’s debut! I feel all the members shined or stood out in some way and it was so refreshing! So excited for their future releases, cuz they are all so talented!!
Finally Apink!!! They're one of the few groups from second gen that are really active as a group, tho they had a hiatus before this song came out ;; They're celebrating their 11th year this April! 💖 (Debuted back in 2011) fun facts! - Apink debuted with a fairy/pure concept, so their earlier songs are you know bright pop sth like that but their sound, while slow, changed overtime as they matured. On their 7th year (there's this 7 yr curse that they call for any groups bec they usually end up splitting since it is the time where groups have renewal talks and stuff, OR groups really just don't reach their 7th yr at all.) Apink came back with a song that is that is the farthest from their original concept, but was still able to retain their own sound. - the member you said we should give an oscar? She is Eunji, the main vocalist of Apink, and also considered as one of the best idol-actors atm. Speaking of idol-actors, every Apink member has acted, and the members who are mostly active in acting (when not having group promos) is Eunji and Naeun (the one crying in front of the mirror during the 'no girls like me boy you gotta see' part) - Eunji is known as one of the best main vocalists among idols, having insane range and stability. She has a cover of Frozen's Into The Unknown, but 3 keys higher 🤣 - The one you liked the voice after the first chorus is Chorong, Apink's leader. She wrote most of the fan songs (they have a fan song released every year). Chorong and Bomi (the blonde one) are friends with Mamamoo's Solar and Moonbyul ^^ - Apink is the only gg who has a music show win on their 11th year (koreans say it's their 12th bec they count their debut year as 1st year alr) - Apink's song LUV holds the record for having the most wins by a single song of a gg. It was released back in 2014 and got 17 wins. Still unbeaten. - Members: Park Chorong, Yoon Bomi, Jung Eunji, Son Naeun, Kim Namjoo, Oh Hayoung Hope you react to them again next time! 💖
Okay, so you finally reacted to Apink! I already saw a couple of comments mentioning their career, but yes they debuted in 2011 and they have been releasing hit after hit. I followed them since Nonono era and they never miss, they changed their style and they are still one of the best girl groups. Also, yes they deserve an Oscar, everybody is an actress. I am not putting pressure on you but you should dive deep into Apink, I think you are going to like all of their music, even the cute concepts from their beginning. 💕
YES, finally someone that feels the way I feel about Kingdom. I adore every single group but The Boyz and SF9 were truly robbed. The arrangements, the choreo and the storyboards were IT 👏🏽
Yes! SF9 were robbed a lot. Even IKON had some amazing performances and The Boyz are always amazing (but for me they were better in season 1 and its normal, since they had to be double creative since they were repeating another season).
@@hp5682 Personally I think The Boyz set the standard for performances in S1 that they were up against themselves and other groups and still hit it out of the park for me. I think iKON is great but the composition of their songs were not my favorite, as well as for some of the other groups. Ateez were a huge contender for me as well.
girl I just know you would LOVE sf9's music! they're a MAN group and not only do they make bops but they're also sexy lmao! if you ever look into them more I would definitely recommend easy love (one of their first titles and literally still SUCH a timeless fantastic song), now or never (if you like hwiyoung pls watch this one), good guy (their first win!), enough (the choreo will take you OUT) and tear drop (if you watch this also check out the live stages because the chores is absolutely sinful)! your reaction was so fun I'm glad to see that you enjoy them!!
Thank you for reacting to Apink🥰 Ah my IST family heart😭 please check out their brother group Victon. I recommend you to listen ”What I said”, ”Mayday”, “Nostalgic night” and “Chronograph”. Pretty sure you like them. They’re just goddamn beautiful and unique fairy voices. But also hot as well...
Thanks for reacting to Apink! They're a pretty prominent senior girl group that's been active since 2011. I believe they're still the girl group with the most music show wins with their song LUV from 2014. Dilemma was produced by Black Eyed Pilseung, who's a duo famous for producing a lot of huge hits in kpop (Fancy, If You Do, Roller Coaster, etc.) - they also are the CEOs for STAYC's company and produces the majority of their songs. If you do decide to check out Apink more, they have a "holy trinity" of comebacks all produced by BEP that successfully rebranded their sound to a more mature one after being successful for their classic bubbly, feminine concept for about 7 years. They're "I'm So Sick," "%%," and "Dumhdurum." Jeong Eunji (the one who stood out to you for her acting) is also considered one of the best female kpop vocalists of all time, and has a variety of covers on her RU-vid channel as well as an extensive solo discography that I would recommend checking out just for her talent alone. I hope you to consider reacting to more! But no pressure of course (: Thanks again for checking out Dilemma on your own :D
I hope you could react to more SF9 in the near future. They are a really amazing and talented group who really deserves a lot more of love and recognition
So happy for Hanbin and Tempest, i love bad news its so fun. K,Taki,EJ and Nicholas from iland are going to debut under bighit japan(probably sometime this year), they are going to do a show to find additional members. They go by "&AUDITION boys" on twitter and youtube if you want to check in on them. But i have been keeping up with the iland guys and i am so happy and proud of everyone.Thank you for the video💜
I am SO glad you watched Apink! They are still on fire going on 12 years in the industry and still pulling in music show wins. You will LOVE their previous single Dumhdurum
I can say for Apink, for their most recent stuff, they use a lot of modulated horns in the song productions, which is honestly favorite parts of their songs. 😍😍😍😍
I went through the same thing with Dilemma. The chorus threw me off on the first listen but now it haunts me in my dreams and I literally can’t get it out of my head
INVU music video reminds me of Artemis’ love for Orion (Poseidon’s son who is a player) … I guess that is why the concept is very greek myth, and the liquid/ water Heart and statue something ..
SF9 is criminally under appreciated. They have king have carved their path at being very good at the sexy, gentleman with funky/euro beats. Their early songs I'd say are a bit more similar to maybe some 4th gen groups, just ahead of their time. I def recommend a journey listen to them and also from Kingdom, BTOB. SF9 may wipe the floor with their sexy vibes and BTOB with ballads but both are such fun groups with fun funky songs too. Taeyeon is a queen and Spotify is going to be like mam you have listened to INVU too much. Apink are queens. Active since the end of gen2 so many people are just happy they keep coming out with bangers since most girl groups suffer the 7 year curse but at 12 years they are still going and the songs are amazing. Their music evolved as they got older as their early music is much more girly bubblegum vibes and now they have more mature women songs.
“Y’all got me confused” Yes. Dilemma dilemma 😂😂😂 My girls, APINK!! So excited for this reaction! I don’t know about any other panda (our fandom name) but I’ve refrained from recommending cuz I know how stacked your plate is when it comes to recommends. Apink is a 6 member 2nd Gen girl group from IST Entertainment that debuted in 2011. Literally the only 2nd Gen girl group still active today (even the current line up for Brave Girls aren’t the ogs). They are immensely popular in South Korea, influencing many groups that came after them (like gfriend, oh my girl, twice etc) consistently keeping their cute concepts with their particular sound before absolutely MURDERING everyone in 2018 with an unexpected concept change that showcased their musical growth. Honestly the last trilogy of releases brought them so much international attention. Also if you’ve watched any variety shows, you’ve come across at least some of their hit songs because they’re honestly just that iconic. Funny you mention acting lol All the members are actresses, most notably Eunji (the sad eyes, and “Oscar” scream) and Naeun (the trap part after that 2nd verse). Vocal QUEENS of 2nd Gen! The main vocalist, Eunji, is one of the best vocalists in SK (I don’t wanna be a gushy fan but she’s so good. SO GOOD) but the voice you really liked is our leader, Chorong. Honest though, give Dilemma another listen! This song is an EARWORM and their album Horn (for their 10th anniversary) is so good! Definitely one of the AOTY for me! When you get back to them again, 100% recommend their 2 iconic trilogy of title tracks: NoNoNo, Mr Chu, and LUV. I’m So Sick, EungEung (%%), and Dumhdurum. And watch the difference and how much they slayed it! Honestly Taeyeon did the damn thing! INVU is a masterpiece and really blew up in SK as it should 😌
I don't know if someone already mentionned it because there are a lot of comments already, but when you were wondering about "U N" in the SF9 MV, it's "one" but in French. It says "neuf (nine)" on the umbrella, "cinq (five)" on the cryptex, etc. But wow, yes thank you for reacting to my underrated kings. They are so talented. And that song, the "I don't like this drama" before the rap parts start like URGH MY HEART. I know you don't take requests or anything, but I will cross my fingers that you will react more to them in the future. I am sure you won't regret it. Now or never is one of the best kpop songs I have ever heard and I am willing to die on that hill. I never really checked Taeyeon's stuff until INVU, which I decided to check out because the teaser pics caught my eyes, and the song is SO GOOD. Honestly, it was added immediately to my playlist. Her vocals in this truly make the song imo. I know what you mean about the youthful energy of Tempest. It gave me older kpop generations vibes and as you said, it was so so refreshing. I started listening to kpop with the second generation, and I feel like now the "harder", "darker" and "sexier" concepts are preferred and have sort of become the norm. Of course there are still groups that do fun and bright concepts, but...they are getting rare. So when I heard this song, which doesn't sound like 3 different songs have been mashed into one, I was immediately sold. My (older) ears, were quite happy haha It's funny because I didn't use to like Apink before they had their grand return with I'm so sick in 2018. Their music back then were just not the type of music I liked, but I have loved every single one of their releases from 2018 until now. I guess they have a more mature vibe now and some use of electronics...I don't know what it is, but it speaks to me and I'm here for it haha.
"WHO THE FRICK IS THAT" in Tempest - Hwarang (silver hair) and Lew (brown hair) are the rappers and I SEE THEY HAVE TAKEN YOU. 👀👀👀👀 Eunchan (tall??? how do I describe this precious baby) is so tall he's like 6'1 but he looks like a giant haha you need to see him next to tiny Lew "I think what sold me was them like as a group" yes please they are adorable. THE MINI ALBUM IS FANTASTICCCCCCCCCC I cannot tell you enough how good it is I was so pleasantly surprised how they approached the types of songs. Plus Lew and Hwarang wrote on every track (either both or one or the other). OKAY SF9 HERE WE GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MY NEW OBSESSIONS the whiplash from Tempest to SF9 is amazing I'mma send you SF9 tiktoks now prepare your body I see you lookin' at my adopted son (Dawon), bestie you wanna join the fam??? ZUHO'S FUCKING VOICE EHHH please youre mad at yourself???? i started full on stanning them and their eldest members are enlisting this month 💀💀💀💀💀 why do we suck???????? how to become chair goodbye i love you caitlin
I so hope you check out Apink more, because they have nothing but bops. When they debuted it was a full on cute concept, but as they got older their concept changed and it was amazing. Mr. Chu Luv I'm So Sick %% Are all amazing songs that I think you would love.
i was pleasantly surprised by tempest's debut!! i'm a sucker for bright energetic songs and i feel like not many boy groups have been doing that type of sound as of late so it's nice when a song like bad news comes along :')
OMG please check out Apink, especially their most famous songs: Mr. Chu, So Sick, %% (Eung Eung), Duhmdurum, NoNoNo. They've been around for 10 years now 💓.
Finally sf9 Thank you for accepting my suggestion🤍 I knew you would love this song😍I really love this comeback،everything looks amazing They surprise me with every comeback I know K-pop since2011and I like it in many groups, but there is something different about sf9.They can do everything They are really talented.🔥👏🏻 And For the first time in my life I wish to be a chair🦦 25:57 I feel you he is my bais and he is so hot🥵 32:00 hahahahhahah call to police Because they stole our hearts😠💔 You should reaction(now or never,rpm good guy, summer breeze,o sole mio, tear drop).
Thoroughly enjoyed this reaction! Tempest definitely have my interest. Your confusion by Apink gave me a good giggle 😂 (I've got my fingers crossed for you to check out ONF some time and it's mostly bc of their music BUT partly because I wanna see what you make of their convoluted-ass cinematic universe ㅋㅋㅋ)
OMGGGGG!! YOU FINALLY REACTED TO APINK, THANK YOU CAITLIN!! ACTUALLY THEY HAVE BEEN AROUND 10 YEARS NOW AND THE ONLY 2ND GEN THAT STILL MAKING GREAT MUSIC. ALSO THE EX WIFE OF TAEMIN FROM ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE GROUP "SHINEE" IS THERE HAHAHAHA🤣
Btw Apink came on Jessieshowtiview to promote Dilemma. Highly recommend it it's one of the funniest episodes. No need to make a video of it, enjoy it on your own you won't regret since Apink are masters at variety shows😂👌🏼
