KPOP Hater Reacts to IVE (Eleven, Love Dive, After Like, Kitsch, I AM, Accendio) 

Wonyoungism isnt about following whatever wonyoung does (thats the extreme point but not the actual point of it), but more of prioritising self-care, confidence and self-love that wonyoung promotes :)

Their songs get better every time you listen to them

Wonyougism is just about self care 😭 There are obviously the toxic ppl around there. But overall it's just about looking after yourself

Love dive changed lives

ACCENDIO MV is also related to traditional Korean folktales. The dark version of IVE is transformed back to their original form, and their clothes run off as mice. In Korea, there is a folk tale called "The Mouse that Ate Fingernails", It tells the story of a young man who went to a temple to study. One day, while the young man was cutting his nails, the monk in the temple told him to wrap the nails up before throwing them away, or else something bad would happen. The young man didn't take it seriously. After completing his studies and returning home, he found a doppelganger who looked exactly like him in his house. After a dispute, the real young man was driven away. He ran to seek help from the monk, who told him to bring a cat home. The fake young man saw the cat and ran away in fear. In the end, he was bitten to death by the cat. Upon closer inspection, the body looked like a mouse, revealing that the mouse had eaten the fingernails left by a ghost on the mountain and used transformation skills to impersonate the young man.

About "I am", I've never seen any reactor say it, but to me, this song works because it's not just a song, it's an anthem. I can't fully explain why but it has the codes of an anthem for me, the repetitive melody as you said from the pre-chorus to the chorus, the fact they all sing it together, even the little accapela part before the last chorus makes it look like a solist part in an anthem. It has a very solemn feel somehow and I think the MV really emphasize that with the black and white colour scheme, very "business suit" outfits, the catwalk at the end which could make it look like a march... It just works and it has a vibe that no other kpop song has (at least from what I know)

It's cool to see the perspective of someone who doesn't listen to kpop maybe? but it is his most honest reaction, I think no one can resist a Kpop song, there will always be one that made us all fall in this world

I AM is really such a masterpiece, and I love it so much. I liked it from the first listen, but the part that really struck it home for me was the part where Rei said "I hope you'd be someone's dream come true" because that line is just so hopeful and inspirational. That buildup of amazing nostalgic pop into that one line was so impactful to me that I just got the chills as soon as I processed what I just heard. From the album b-sides, I really liked Lips as well.

Kazinho likes Ive!! You'll love their B-sides! They're HIGHLY underrated

btw the wonyoung eating strawberry controversy because she's eating all cute like that is not for the camera, that's just how she eat apparently..way back during iz*one days yuri was eating with wonyoung and then yuri stated that she also kinda bother with how wonyoung eat cutely at first and think she's faking it for the way she eat but then yuri tries to see if that how wonyoung really eats or not, she tell woyoung that she want to go to the bathroom when they both were eating together and want to see if she faking the way she eat when she's alone or not but then realized that how actually wonyoung eats even when she's alone.

"I AM" made me an instant IVE fan! :) I couldn't believe how much that song dug into my brain...the earworm lasted for three months!!!! Not only that but when I heard it for the first time I had GOOSEBUMPS. Two big things that happen when I like a song...and then after that every song after was a banger for me...and they are the FIRST girl group that I ever really wanted to own their cds...Even now I NEED the new cd...it's like I am addicted! :)

It's really cool to hear the perspective of someone who doesn't listen to kpop, i like it

Wonyoung and Jennie are def the MAIN girls of kpop. The both of them just own korea rn lol. It's wild how well loved and widely hated they are.

Wonyoung is gorgeous Most popular female idol of 4th gen

Wonyoung is the prettiest human on earth!

ive is the best literally. I dont think someone can replace that

Love Dive changed Kpop fr .

As a non Dive Ive is one of the only GGs making interesting music. So they are one of my go to's!

Ive is my ultimate group, they are perfectly beautiful and talented. You could react to gidle and le sserafim later, they also have good songs

I'm an old kpop listener since in grade school. Grade six specifically. Till now I'm updated to almost all kpop groups. I can say they are the only kpop group in girls group who maintain the essence and the originality of kpop song compared to other group. I can say they are on the top in the kpop world.

Kazinho is so funny and tricky. His comments are attractive

So funny Atom had to clarify that he is a Dive because Kaz genuinely liked IVE’s music more 😂! Love this series hope to see more!

Love dive is amazing. I agree with your rating. It has longevity and amazing chorus.

You missed 3 songs by ive, either way, off the record, and baddie. I think it would be interesting to hear your take on them. Also I agree that Ice Queeen is the best track on switch!

im here as a dive🎉 thanks for reaction to my girls

Personally, If I'd rank "Love Dive" up to 13, I'd put it above 12. I considered it among the best kpop songs ever, if not the best. Obviously, Kpop has a lot of genres but in this particular genre, it's the absolute standard. It's even surreal for me knowing they dropped this iconic song when they were aged 18-19.

Wonyoung is a fairy in heya 🤩

Ice Queen is my standout from the IVE album. I am obsessed with the way those little ice clinks sound in my ears.

Accendio is a title track along with Heya. I agree Ice Queen deserves everything!

I saw them live in Ft Worth in March. They put on a fantastic live show. Honestly, Kitsch, live, is amazing. It has so much energy, and it's just something else. It's not my favorite track, but it's just different live.

Thank you for reacting to our girls’ songs! Been a dive since the start of this year and here’s my own ranking (up to 10 only, including some bsides) 1. Love Dive 2. I Am 3. Eleven 4. Either Way 5. Accendio 6. Off the Record 7. After Like 8. Baddie 9. Holy Moly 10. Payback

They criticized Wonyoung how she eats and called me pick me that's the most embarrassing thing I've heard of like really?

I am is my favorite song of IVE coz it's the most kpop nostalgia theyve ever done

accendio ends ALL

I love IVE, for me they're the perfect kpop girl group of this gen. From their visual, aesthetic, music, and concept, everything is good quality. They remind me classical kpop girl groups beauty and vibe, i love it.

I Am is definitely a 13! Also, I can’t believe you missed the golden opportunity to give Eleven an 11. Lol

Can’t believe I am almost done with a reaction video that’s over an hour long, but it’s honestly pretty refreshing to see no over-the-top expressions and somewhat actual musical insight and personal feelings put in to these rather to appeal to the masses.

Should’ve listened to baddie, off the record instead of kitsch 😭 😭

Great reaction guys, the scoring had me laughing. :) Have you guys considered checking out Kiss of Life yet? Newer group, but I think it'd be right up your alley, considering the types of sounds you seem to be leaning into here. There's enough videos to do a deep dive, but there's a really specific order of MVs in order to get the full storylines of the releases: [1. Sugarcoat, 2. Countdown, 3. Kitty Cat, 4. Play Love Games, 5. Bye My Neverland, 6. Shhh], [7. Bad News, 8. Nobody Knows] [9. Midas Touch (& 10. Nobody - doesn't have a video but a very live showcase on their channel that really makes their vocals shine)]. Each [..] is from 1 album. Hope you consider them! They are really gaining a lot of attention.

I thought the same about Heya (that it's not a title track) at first but then the greatness of it started to dawn on me. It really takes a few listens.

as a Dive and a student of music production, I really appreciate this talk.

Ives best songs are eleven, Love dive and I AM. they all change my brain chemistry

IMHO, HEYA is a masterpiece, probably top 3 IVE songs if not the best, and the MV is the best for sure

Great reactions new to see a new listener who gives fresh takes and isnt afraid to be honest. A suggestion is , I noticed you spoke a couple times of listening to the song before the reaction? I think it would be great to hear a first time reaction in the future!

Eleven got me into ive but love dive literally made me addicted it was on my repeat playlist for well over a year it was my favorite song for the longest time all of there songs are amazing I’ve is my favorite group my fav song rn is off the record and kitch

I’d love to know Kazinho’s thoughts on NewJeans discography 🐰

IVE have no skips

Love the long vid and the discussions

In my opinion, while I AM is THE anthem for IVE and it's amazing, i love Heya so much more than I AM, eventhough the first verse kinda irks me, the moment Wonyoung's voice comes on that pre chorus, it just goes up from there and the last chorus just makes me so happy. But, Accendio to me it's the best IVE song, i love it SO MUCH

Thank you for reacting to IVE, you have a good discography. The following can react to Girls Generation's songs: Into The New World, Genie, The Boys, Mr.Mr., Catch Me If You Can and You Think

We Stan wonyoung ❤

I would LOVE your deep dive into Red Velvet. They have such a diverse discography and id be so intruiged to hear Kazinho react to their songs.

Because it’s Jang Wonyoung, it can’t be helped? Even if it does too well, it’s a problem. There are always more and more envious people. But I think she'll go higher...

"After Like"'s sample song, btw. Recognized it immediately when the song came out cuz I'm old af lmao ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6dYWe1c3OyU.html

Love Dive and After Like had some great production. They really improved the production since debut.

Off the record and either way are one of my favorites from Ive, please check them out too!

to be fair, wonyoungism is ruined by some fans and what wonyoung truly wants to promote is positivity and a humble mindset

I love how you can tell Kazinho really understand music. Loved your channel

black pink, IVE, new jeans......that be all................best rap from black pink, best visuals and sounds from IVE, best trends from new jeans......

I think he's not a hater. He's just a critic.

Even if someone doesnt like kpop ive as a group has such catchy melodies that one cant resist but hum along. NGL Ive have the catchiest title tracks among 4th gen along with stayc.

dang how did i catch this so soon! Btw I love y’all’s reactions, it’s so refreshing to see people actually have real opinions on kpop (since everyone is too terrified to ever say anything bad lol) Anyways pls pls pls react to more kpop, maybe BTS or Stray Kids again(i love skz), or Enhyphen. I feel like you would also like TXT (tomorrow x together) who have a more pop rock (?) style. Either way Idk how but I always seem to agree completely with you guys on these reactions haha it’s actually insane.

❤️❤️❤️ IVE 🤍🤍🤍

NO WONYOUNG CRASHING INTO PLANE MEME???

please react to iz*one too please., lookin at wonyoung and yujin in there, some members are in leseraphim , some goin solo, some goin actress. very good discography.

day 2 saying that you two should react to Ado's Ussewa, Unravel (live), Aishite, New Genesis (live) and crime and punishment. Ado is a Japanese singer who doesn't show her face, but became known because of her unique, distorted vocal style, she is only 21 and already haves an impressive vocal range, her debut music is ussewa and if im not wrong, she was 17 when she debuted.Vocaloids are her inspiration, so I think that's why she has such a unique vocal style, she conveys the right emotion in the songs...

I Have had the best B sides I've heard from them. I enjoyed I AM but i wouldnt say its my favorite. After Like and Off the Record are my favorites.

I can't hear “Taylor Swift ME” in “Kitsch” all.

I love how Kazinho is so still like just blinking, and ATOM is vibing and singing

I felt the same thing with Kazinho with I Am. I kind of stopped listening to new music for at least a while due to busy sched and when "I am" played, I didn't know that it was sung by Ive as I stopped for a while and I really liked it. It brought me back to IVE

Regards After like, in korean culture to say you " like" someone is almost like saying you're in love. So technically Love is after Like . But what always cofuses me is they sample Gloria Gaynor I will survive, probably the most iconic break up song in the history of pop music😅

keep listening to kpop girlgroups pls, it is interesting to see how Kazinho perceive it

Dude, I wished you mention the fact how Love Dive had a lot of PAKs and RAKs and won Song of the Year many times

I'm not even into IVE like that but can this dude stop saying his very subjective opinions on music are objective? It's really silly. I I bet he's saying this on all other videos. Musical taste is a thing, just because you hold an opinion it does not mean it's objective or the absolute truth. it's actually the exact opposite. I personally do not enjoy EDM in most songs. That does not mean that it's awful, it's just not my thing. He's just throwing this out there so it looks that he has more musical 'knowledge' and it would seem as if his words hold weight. They do not. It's his own opinion on some songs. And that's valid in its own right, but it is nowhere around objective or the absolute truth. That's absolute bs. Also the way he's prefacing everything seems a bit condescending, ngl. But I should probably not have expected more from someone who deems themselves as a hater of an entire industry. You can be indifferent, but a hater? Yeah, too negatively involved.

Can you please react to XG? They have amazing songs! I really recommend “Left right”, “Shooting star” and “TGIF” at first, although all their songs are very great✨✨✨

if i remember correctly leeseo said she enjoyed covering reis rap part when rei was sick during kitsch/i am and expressed interest in trying to rap in their songs more so obvs they listened to her which is really nice! i love her vocals but her rap tone is nice to listen to as well

Eleven's pre chorus is my favorite part of the song

57:07 Hey same experience. I was on the subway on my way back home, this song came in random and I’m like wow what song is this

i wish they've heard Off The Record as well 😢

I love all IVE songs and wondering what comes next after this crazy comeback Hope they keep this dark elegant and luxurious mood Fun facts: startship as a small label actually made profits 10 times higher in 2 years since IVE debuted

I didn't like any IVE songs until I AM. That song always makes me dance with a huge smile on my face. It's just such an uplifting song, even not knowing the lyrics. It is absolutely their best song, coming from someone who is not an IVE fan.

En especial me gusta estas reacciones de gente que recién esta escuchando K-pop sin saber sobre este mundo siempre y cuando sea todo con respeto y abierto a nuevos coneptos que estos grupos manejan estaré a la espera de más reacciones de grupos de kpop , me encantó también el hecho de que se informen primero sobre cada miembro ❤

that's crazy cus i am's bridge is my favorite part of the song. it's just so beautiful

im so invested in these 😭

There's Blue Blood from I've Ive album that give Middle Eastern vibe

u missed off the record !! its my fav song !!

I think my only complaint about the accendio music video is that the acting and camera work could've been so much better and it wouldve pulled the whole music video together because the lore behind it is just so good. In my opinion they just lacked expressions, especially in the fight scene where it didn't really look like they were fighting at all because their expressions were so stagnant. Like you don't have to have a model expression/face on all the time, I'd rather see more intense expressions because the lack of facial expressions made the whole thing feel extremely staged. At the same time though, I can see how the tackiness mightve been a stylistic choice. But the song itself is definitely a new favorite, maybe 2nd favorite after love dive

Fun facts: Wonyoung was 13 on the survival show. Main is the strongest and person in charge of the specific role, Lead is a support role of the Main that complements he/she due to also being strong in that role. Ie. Gaeul is lead rapper because her rap is good but Rei is main rapper because thats her main role and her best characteristic, whereas Gaeul main role is dancer.

After likes chorus was sampled from Robbie Williams - Supreme

There's a lot of IVE's b-sides that needs attention. My Satisfaction, Holy Moly, Hypnosis, Payback to name a few.

Nice! I really like IVE but I had the same perceptions on first listen hehehe, I suggest you to listen to some NCT!!! It's a hard way to get in to them due to the amount of things, but they are simply amazing.

"I think everyone can guess what I'm giving it... 8.5" -Atom me sitting here thinking he'll give it 11 😆

Yujin is so pretty

that was leeseo rapping but her first actual rap was in off the record iirc, unless u count leeseo filling in reis lines in i am era when rei was on hiatus

Bro it’s so good the dance practice 😱😱😱

Finally someone who gets i am like i do

You need react to NMIXX. You will definitely like it, especially Sonar, Dash, Run for roses. They have a very interesting concept and they are the most talented group of the 4th generation

ITS NOT "JENG" WONYOUNG ITS "JANG" THE PRONUNCIATION IS "JUNG"
