Even though you are not quite familiar with WayV members, I’m so glad they captured your attention regardless. Xiaojun main vocalist and Green hair Yangyang main rapper. And I’m loving the attention our new baby is getting for his dancing…Shotaro really is a fantastic dancer. 👏🏻
The green hair member is YangYang (WayV) and the dancing member is Shotaro. He is not in a fixed group yet but most likely will be placed in a Japanese NCT subunt that SM has in the works. SM actually discovered him through his tiktok covers of NCT choreography
That dancer you're talking about is Shotaro. He debuted last year him and a rapper in the 2nd verse of 90s Love named Sungchan. They are not in a fixed unit yet however, SM plans to put them in a unit next year tho so don't worry
I love all 23 members and each sub unit but what I love the most is the rotation concept that gives us infinite combinations and the results are always amazing. Not only in the MVs but when they make contents with other members aside from their units.
The pairings that NCT do (often with a rapper and vocal line together) are one of my fav things in their songs these days. They have such a depth of talent in NCT that the variations that are possible for each song, each duet of lines... it really feels like limitless possibilities (pun intended) :D Haechan was dancing with Yangyang (WayV) and they sound amazing together (plus, they have the cutest chemistry. They seemed to really get along back when they did 90s Love for NCT2020. I love that moment of their voices and dance in a little duet. I wanna see more from that pair! I would really suggest listening to the trio of Taeil, Renjun (I know how you love Renjun, me too!) and Xiaojun (the main vocalist from WayV that you are wanting to hear more from) when they sang together for the Resonance 2020 project on the track "You're My Everything". Beyond gorgeous. Yeah, what is up with Doyoung these days?? He is turning into a menace on stage (and don't get me started on Jeno). I love how they can all just take on a character on stage and own it!
It's crazy that recently Xiaojun said his entire family can sing and that he is the worst singer in his fam. I would say he is kinda between Doyoung and Taeil Level. Because he usually in charge of the long high belts in WayV music but I am not sure if I would say he is as good as Taeil.
@@N.N010 I agree but I am not sure if Xiaojun's supported range is as wide as Taeil's. Taeil's voice resonates more. Regardless NCT vocals are top tier. Xiaojun is 4-5 years younger than Taeil so imagine where Xiaojun’s voice will be in 4-5 years
Of course, the amazing Wayv singer who did the high notes and beautiful vocal parts with Doyoung and the babes is Xiaojun! I'd recommend this firstly to you because from the Dream series I know you love Renjun too lol!! 'Unbreakable Love' cover: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-s_hk-nszOmg.html A Wayv song that really shows him off the most (especially he bridge, he and Ten are literally insane, the bg vocals, the high note, everything!!) is 'Domino'. Just a gorgeous song and a little indulgent on my side because it's my fave lol. CCL just to isolate his parts, but it's an amazing song for everyone too! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eSXolqdeEuA.html Rainbow V/PlayV is a series Wayv does to highlight everyone's talents, and kind of subunits within the subunit - Xiaojun and Kun's is among the first NCT official subunits that aren't like NCT U, but just standalone is that makes any sense? Xiaojun did his jointly with Kun, the blue haired guy in Bad Alive/Turn Back Time that you also loved! Their first, 'Red Bean' (spoiler, he plays the guitar 😉): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SBIoc-0nqdg.html Their 2021 PlayV, 'Back To You'. This is the live English version with a live band that I think you'll love: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-V1H3mTeh_mY.html PS: He and Kun have a few more performances with the live setup that you should checkout if you ever do another Wayv series or NCT U/subunits series. They even covered Sam Kim and Crush besides performing their own Wayv Kun & Xiaojun songs! PPS: 'Back To You' is both Chn/Eng and both have MVs as well if you want to check it out! Very beautiful and calming, if you loved the From Home MV vibes, you'll love it. This was their official debut as a subunit. 'Sleepless' is the other song on their "album" and it also has a cute video! Xiaojun's little carpool karaoke moment also: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qsN0508QaMc.html (The way he was so steady and still hit those notes while being in a moving car... crazy. And it also shows his adorable giggly side. This man is always having a ball lol!) And for the season, his 'For Life' (EXO) cover that he dropped last year!!! Xiaojun THEE Voice: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HecSiy5oRoA.html The vocal trifecta that is Taeil, Xiaojun and Renjun on a song also could not be left out. 'Everything' off of the NCT 2020 album: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-skLhqyi1VhU.html Xiaojun and Ten were also part of Ginjo's album together, this was their SMCU performance of 'The Riot' last year. Their love vocals are amazing together! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aAd1esPDGSo.html And his most recent semi-solo work, he featured on Raiden's album, and the song - 'Golden' is so good! His voice is so gorgeous: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3eRwTrBbg0c.html Finally, let me just leave you with a live performance of 'Face to Face' by WayV's vocalists. Xiaojun, Ten and Kun show out! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AaNfbABvsEI.html I would be here all day if I could but let me not overwhelm lol! He's really an amazing vocalist and one of NCT's best (which is crazy to say because they have nothing but the best when it comes to vocalists lol).
Classic baseball outfit/blue hat/insane dancer is Shotaro!!! He debuted during NCT 2020 and was discovered for his amazing dance skills. From his old tiktok, the predebut dance competition videos and what he's given this past here, I really must say his dance style is my fave out of the group (I love rnb/hh a little more than classical styles, so what can I say lol!) If you'd like to see more of him, he's done an official dance video on the NCT channel: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yroA9rq_QKo.html A cover of Amine's Red Mercedes for his Vogue shoot: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0iGtIjcIgzQ.html And for some fun, his relay cam where he showed us how he practices: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3bFPImPeNEM.html Overall, he's just a really talented dancer and I can't wait to see him in a fixed unit. I'll leave a different comment on Xiaojun (the amazing singer in Wayv!)
Taking a quick break from watching the reaction to say that your goal to "just make it through this alive" is a good and lofty one! I cackled at that! Ok. Now I'm done. I love how you dissect the messaging in the songs and MVs. It's definitely layered messaging but in particular the bridge with Jungwoo and Doyoung is about the push/pull of wanting someone (some thing) but not really wanting to be vulnerable for them at the same time. It's great to see the growth of our baby otter Shotaro (blue hat dancing his tail off). A year ago he struggled during his debut promotions in NCT 2020 (He was in Make A Wish) but MY GOODNESS his confidence here makes me so proud and I need him in a unit ASAP. Good fun as always!
@@Yetti. particularly noticing that Shotaro (the dancer w the blue hat) was extremely talented. He’s one of the newest members added for his dancing and has been dancing since he was 5. Arguably the best in nct now w the other mains. Also noticing how strong Xiaojun’s (singer from WayV) vocals are despite not knowing him too well. He’s extremelyyy versatile and it’s so surprising everytime he does different genres. They’re both noticeable but it was nice seeing you almost immediately recognize their talent!
The vocalist you want to know more of is Xiaojun from WayV. I recommend his cover of "For Life - EXO", his "Unbreakable Love" cover w/ Renjun (from NCT Dream) and his "From Everything" performance w/ Taeil and Renjun. If you're considering reacting to the M/V "Make A Wish" from last year's NCT2020 project, Xiaojun also really shined there. Xiaojun for me is my favourite vocalist in NCT, when you really listen to him sing you'll understand how much emotion he puts into his voice, I can't really put into words. I've been listening to k-pop since 2008 and I've never felt so attached to any voice from any idol, but I feel Xiaojun has a truly special voice and hope more people can appreciate him.
Haechan was paired with Jungwoo in Kick It and that was a nice pairing, but this one with Haechan and Yang Yang was SO good. They just flow with one another.
This so perfect. So much happen in this video and i cant decide what parts are my favorite. But especially i loved when xiaojun sing knock and knock on
12:20 There are some songs you can listen/watch in order to better listen to Xiaojun vocals (actually you have watched a cover of the song Unbreakable Love from him and Renjun): - Back to You, english or chinese version: Recently he released 3 songs in a duo with another WayV member, Kun. There is an MV for both language versions, but also several live performances in both languages and even 1 performance of the english version with a live band (the show is called it’s LIVE). - My everything: There is only 1 live performance but is from the NCT 2020 album, he sang it with Renjun (Dream) and Taeil (127). - Golden: he recently featured a DJ from SM and a rapper. This is a funky song, so it was really nice hearing him in this type of music. - He has released some video covers singing alone, such as: For Life by Exo, Who Are You by Sam Kim. And covers as a duet, such as: Beautiful by Crush and Red Bean by Khalil Fong. - There are also some WayV songs that highlight his voice besides high notes, such as All for Love and Good Time. There are some ballads with the 3 main vocals in WayV (Ten, Kun, and Xiaojun), such as Horizon and Face to Face.
Hi Yetti such a fun reaction. I really loved your analysis of the contrasting video elements. Alot of NCT'S work is about light and dark. For example even when they talk about love like in Favorite it's the love that aches and even though we know it will hurt -it's too essential to live without. Like how a vamp might be repelled by their thirst for blood while also knowing they can't survive without it. Doyoung wrecks me so much I don't even consider him a bias wrecker anymore he's just one of my biases now ☺ The cute thing about this unit is also the contrasts. Doyoung is the leader this go around. He is the oldest (96 line), Jungwoo is second eldest (98), Mark & Xiaojun (99), Jeno, Haechan, Jaemin, YangYang, and Shotaro (00). So basically it's Doyoung and over half NCT'S maknae line. Lord help him 😄. Doyoung is known for being very kind and having a special affinity for his younger brothers in NCT. He is close with many of the Dreamies especially Jeno. Some think it may be because Doyoung is the youngest in his family (his older brother Gyong Myung is a well-known actor) so in NCT he gets to be a big brother to the maknae line 🙂. Online Jeno expressed he was so excited he finally gets to promote together with "Doyoung hyung" because of this song. Really sweet I think 😊💚.
the mvp 1 and mvp 2 are also in the Make a Wish unit from last year. mvp1 is their new members and actually a pro dancer. mvp2 is the main vocalist of wayv mostly given the high notes.
This is really the beauty of NCT U, we have a whole Universe of great talent and visuals. SM really loves to mix groups together and this is not the first time. They did that several years back with YOUNIQUE. Here’s the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Au5fic4IqEs.html they had Super Junior EunHyuk and Henry (now soloist didn’t renew contract with SM) from EXO we have Kai and Luhan (now China based not SM anymore) TaeMin from SHINee (of course) and Hyo from Girls Generation. So the SuperM concept wasn’t new they’ve been doing this stuff decades ago. Now, to answer your questions the guy who dances really well is Shotaro from Japan, he was added last year but he doesn’t have a fixed unit yet. Word is there will be a new fixed unit that will be launched next year. Back to Shotaro, his first (fancam) TV performance for Make A Wish has now 6.3 million views ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oO17vTV3SFg.html He was discovered by SM because he covers a lot of NCT dances in his personal TikTok (now deactivated) He also saw a performance of NCT127 in Japan and dreamed to be like them and voila, here he is part of NCT. Dreams do come true. The guy in the green hair is YangYang from WayV he is the maknae and one of the rappers there. He is from Taiwan but he lived in Germany when he was little so he knows some German. XiaoJun the one who hits the high notes is also from WayV, he is from Macau China. He’s main vocalist of WayV. There is really a lot to see and literally watch because there is 9 of them but I am used to that because of NCT127. So there’s WayV YangYang and XiaoJun, then NCT Dream has JaeMin and Jeno then Mark and HaeChan who also belong to 127 that has DoYoung and JungWoo and Shotaro that makes 9. I am thanking SM that they gave JungWoo more parts this time, they’re finally realizing that he works hard and has talent too and you cannot not consider his popularity cause he’s almost always top 5 in brand reputation index among NCT members even during the time he wasn’t doing solo work. He’s solo work now is being MC of Music Core. The others are their usual good and talented selves. I just wish for the sake of my JaeMin biased friends, that there were more lines given to him. At least he got a lot of center time.
Some trivia from NCT: Amazing Universe member who practiced the choreo only for 3 days before they filmed the MV.. Yangyang said 1st day for the moves, 2nd day for formation and 3rd day for matching it, Jeno said they need to memorize the lip movement too so it was difficult. (Translation: Dyva)
ok i didnt wanna say these in your NCT video but couldnt handle myself T.T please please watch the MV for Winter falls and 24 to 25 from SKZ T.T T.T T.T also the Mixtape: on track
