Yes, they are a LGBTQ+ supporters. They recorded the soundtrack for a BL drama "Light on Me", and Jun also starred in a BL drama "Tinted With You". They also talked about it in recent interviews.
A.C.E are one of the only groups that are pretty open with their support to the lgbtq+ community. Choice as a fandom has a very high percentage of queer people. Junhee said in an interview for his drama that while he was not gay himself, a lot of him fans are. Twitter had fun with that, even A.C.E knows how gay their fandom is. Their was even a lesbian couple who got engaged at an A.C.E concert, it was very cute.
Austin, for clarification, 4 out of the 5 members are currently on the military service, so everyone but Chan is in the military. But Donghun is doing his time as a public service worker so, he isn't really staying in military headquarters perse. Wow is doing his time as a social worker, and Byeongkwan is serving at the KATUSA (Korean Augmentation Troops to the United States of America). The only member who is doing like the "normal" military is Jun haha so yeah, they are even aces at military 😂 they're in positions that a lot of people try to get (for example, I know Wow had to take sort of an exam to be able to go into social work instead of just normal military, and so I guess Donghun and Byeongkwan had to as well). OH, and btw, Byeongkwan also uses "BK" as is nickname so you can call him that if it's easier to remember
BK hasn't left yet! but I'm sure you're aware so this countdown... :((( and while I don't want him to leave, Chan being the only one without an announced enlistment date is also making me a bit antsy :') I didn't know about test part but I think for social work you go into it if you have certain health concerns whether it's mental or physical. unless that's part of the whole testing process and I'm just talking about it a different way
@@soniathefan Yess, I know about BK not leaving yet but he's about to anyways, I didn't want to confuse Austin too much haha and as you said the only one with an unconfirmed enlistment date is Chan, so I decided to word it like that to make it easier to understand. As for the selection process for the different types of services, I am not that well informed but I did read somewhere that Sehni took a test. And I'm guessing that so did Byeongkwan since he specifically went into KATUSA which is related to having sufficient knowledge in the english language... So it wasn't like random, I guess. But then again, I don't know, I am not korean nor do I have any proper knowledge on this, so take everything I say with a biiiig grain of salt hahha.
@@cinnamountain that makes sense! I figured as much, it’s a lot to explain without getting too much in the weeds with the details. regardless, hopefully time passes by quickly and we all get to see them as 5 again asap 💞
I will clarify from a previous commenter that Jun (my bias) is not actually the first active idol to star in a BL, but I am still super proud of him, of course! Kang Insoo from MYNAME and Lee Sang from IMFACT acted in Wish You together which came out 2 years ago and were the main couple. Both of their groups were active at the time. But anyway, idk why people get so bent out of shape with things like bias changing or whatnot. Makes no sense to me. You bias who you bias, and sometimes it changes. Just because I don't really change my biases doesn't mean that someone else won't. And it also shouldn't matter. People always find the weirdest things to get mad about, like I can't believe you actually had to explain yourself, sorry you felt like you had to. Thanks for the reaction! I enjoyed it!
No need to apologize for long videos. As a fan of your channel and as a Choice, every time I see A.C.E reactions here, I will definitely watch the entire thing. 😁 Just do everything at your own pace ☺️ Choice are just really happy to see people appreciating the members and their music. 💕
My daughter and I met A.C.E. in December 2019 and they were all so nice but instead of a simple handshake...Jun...he held our hands with both of his hands and thanked us in English looking us dead in the eyes. He was sincere and sweet. And then he held our hands as we walked away till we couldn't reach anymore. He did that to EVERYONE. Such a wonderful human being. Then we went and sat in the car and cried for 30 minutes. LMAO !!!!
At 32:30 that song is “Oh Nana” by KARD, a co-Ed group ( 2 boys and 2 girls) The 2 albums you bought, Siren Dawn and Changer Eris are their most recent ones so they are still available. Their older stuff is usually harder/more expensive to get ahold of.
Shared on all my social media! Love your reactions! Yes, they are DEFINITELY LGBTQ+ supporters. Jun is the first idol to star in a BL drama and well to say that BK embraces his feminine side is putting it lightly (hello pigtails and crop tops!) They adore CHOICE in whatever package houses our souls. You have the newest albums Siren (all three versions) came out in 2021 and CHANGER is their last album to come out prior to enlistment in late 2021. That background music on Donghun's video was Donghun singing. Yes, WOW and Taemin are similarly beautiful. I was surprised you didn't note the resemblance in Take Me Higher. Oh, and you don't need to apologize for the length of your videos or your attention span. CHOICE are infinitely patient and we love a long reaction just as much as a short one! I can't wait to see your reactions to the next three members!
They used to busk as a way to learn how to interact with fans on such a close level and how to deal with sound issues and things like that. It also helped with their stability ,,, on their twitter (during take me higher era) junhee posted a video where they were jogging while singing their song to increase their stability and stamina and they sounded like they ate the CD!! They are incredibly stable!!
Yay! Another ACE, I can't wait for you to get to know them better. You won't regret it! They are so talented and all. I'm looking forward to the next reaction video "Fall in Love with WOW, Byeongkwan, and Chan and so much more. Thank you, Sir Austin!
the albums you have are their most recent ones - the guide doesn't mention them because they came out after the guide was published. the ones from their debut to the mad squad are all currently out of print and super expensive :(
You're probably interested in their live vocals, so i do recommend their A.C.E Homecert, they sang a lot of covers and their own stuff too, acoustic version and so on Really beautiful and soft, you can find it on their channel, and i think some Choice have it with eng sub
Omg I’m so glad you’re getting to know this group … I highly recommend A.C.E. The respect and admiration I have for A.C.E is massive, they’re all so talented, have a transparent relationship with their fandom and have that genuine family like bond. Their music is amazing and they have constantly started new trends such as crop tops, hot pants, glittered eyebrows, underwater photoshoots that nowadays we see more being used in boy groups. Even though they are an underrated group they have had such a massive impact on K-POP🔥💜💜
As a Choice since predebut (ACE is my forever ult), I am beyond happy to see you dive in our Favorite Boys' world, they deserve so much yet dont get enough recognition 😭 I can assure you that you wont regret this journey, they are one of the most genuine, loveable and open-minded group in the industry and getting to know them is an absolute pleasure ❣
I'm so glad that you are loving A.C.E. Your reaction is making me really happy. Thank you so much. Their reality show is just them being hilarious and trying to earn money. No summer clothes involved 😂 you'll love it
32:13 the song is "Oh Na Na" by Kard ( a Co-Ed group), totally recommend their music, they are so good! Also So happy to see you getting into our kings ACE! They are big LGBTQ+ supporters and Jun was even in a BL!
They are very supportive of LGBT! They wear pride clothing, are supportive to queer choice, sang an award winning BL OST track and Jun was the lead in a BL! Also biasing Ot5 is very normal for A.C.E
Thank you so much for reacting to A.C.E. I love them so much they are all amazing person and talented.. Please react next to Black and Blue, Clover, Baby Tonight and their other covers.
Yaii more A.C.E.. I don't mind long videos, as long as it's appreciation for the group then it could be two hours for that matter.. My original bias was Jun, I have a thing for leaders (SUHO, JB, Jun) or oldest members.. But now I double bias since Donghun just decided to come in from the right and sweep me off my feet.. Now Donghun is another Ult, that happened after the cover of Empty Space.. I just want to tell you that you are in for a treat.. I didn't plan on stanning more groups, but A.C.E kinda got there within a week and I never looked back, I actually think they're my nuber 2 group right now.. I have 3 Ult groups GOT7, EXO and A.C.E.. I also stan Winner, Shinee, Oneus, SF9, Ateez and Pentagon.. So I don't need more groups right now.. And I originally only had 2 Ults JB and Suho, but then I discovered Donghun and I wanted to Ult Choi Minho after military so now I have 4 :D
I can't even explain how happy I get by watching your A.C.E reactions! So glad to watch your journey of getting to know them. No matter who becomes your bias, I will be here to watch all the A.C.E content you put out :) also, I honestly loved that this was a longer video
Loving the new A.C.E. content, I'm sorry that people in the comments are taking things so seriously and the rise of solo stans that think the only way to get their group more attention is to post hate about another group, which will never make sense to me, and they have made all social media interactions potential for conflict
i think they were talking if you wanted to buy the albums straight from the company, which is usually the cheapest option. Most listings on amazon are second-hand sellers, so they're not too hard to find if you're willing to pay just a little more for those, especially if you don't know the original price to compare it to lol
I'm so happy that you reacted to more a.c.e content😍 and yes! we love long videos... it's amazing to see other people appreciating a.c.e as they deserve. THE FACT THAT YOU ALREADY BOUGHT FOUR ALBUMS?? YOU'RE LITERALLY THE BEST AND SO RELATABLE HAHAAH😂
The song at 32:08 that you wondered about is Oh Na Na by KARD, a mixed-gender group that's currently on hiatus due to one of the members (JSeph) fulfilling his military service right now. Their music is really great! Highly recommend. They're also a group that is definitely for an older audience, so even the softer stuff definitely has a more mature feel to it. ^^b Love your videos! Don't worry about the rewinding! It makes me happy every time you do because it shows just how effected you were by what you saw that you want to look at it again... and I can very much relate to that. >.
Your reaction was so much fun and relatable on a lot of points. You got all the names right and were really quick with getting the albums as well hahahahaa. Will be exciting if you ever have time to do an album reaction some day in future. Sorry for the long comment but here's the context about few questions you asked 😆 > busking performances are available on their youtube channel. A few from pre-debut and few after debut when busked to introduce their comeback/ perform for fans in Korea and outside during world tour. > Jun was dancing to *Oh nana* by Kard, as you were asking the song's name. > The albums you've purchased are the recent 2 releases (from 2021)- *Siren:Dawn* is an EP and *Changer: Dear Eris* is a re-packaged album (released as soon as we got news about Wow and Donghun getting enlisted.) > The Sehyoon photocard that you showed is from *Fav Boyz ft. Thutmose* song (it is a Steve Aoki remix of *Favorite boys/goblin* ) > from the individual guide, that clip of Jun in red making sounds with green screen on the back is him enacting as Iron Man 😂 (also Donghun in blue running with that captain america shield). You may check out the *[BEAT TV] **#BeatTV** opening promo video* (the title of that video) to get an exact context. It's a fun content where Beat's director played a prank on A.C.E. This is where Jun's reaction master comes in as well :) > They support LGBTQ+ and have sung the *Spark* OST for a BL drama Light on me and Jun has also acted the main lead in a recent BL drama *Tinted with you*
it so satisfying seeing how many merch and albums you have now, like yesterday it was just exo and now your a multi stan AAHAHAHAHAHAHA.. I just hope I can buy exo merch and albums as well it just seems crazy but I've been an exol for almost 5 years but I bought other idols album 😭😭😭 WTF HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA (One of the reason is, it's so pricey while other idols album is you know i can afford) btw.. WOW is my bias but jun is rude AHAHA, anyways all of them you know HAHAHA
Are there busking videos? Yup - they have a whole playlist on their own channel. It's a mix of singing and dancing videos ru-vid.com/group/PLIlvXDkiQJbWLqhOv38Uiwrp3esXqLCjz
they have busking singing busking videos on their channel! These both have a "studio" version & a busking/live version, and were all from before they debuted. Playing with Fire is my favorite one to watch! - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SjelsnTMTe0.html Stay - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IJtPbPyFdl0.html 이대로도예뻐 - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9q49tuj3QZQ.html There's also someone you loved that a fan took a video of ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fS5QeR6e3Fg.html
Oh, and don't worry about the bias thing; we Choice know very well that choosing only one is a misson for the strongest only and OT5s are common! The solo bias ones, on other hand, always have the loyalty jokes sharp and fresh yo use... on themselves ^^'
Yes, you can find many a.c.e busking vids on yt. I was agreing with the "not calling him Jason" until you say the reason and had to hould a HUGE laugh!!!
Prior to the Hyung line got to CJ Enm, Donghun came from Superstar K, Jun was from Jellyfish (?) He trained with Vixx at some point, Sehyoon/Wow was a YG trainee for a year.
That last clip from Jun's "amazing leader" section that talks about his elimination from The Unit is actually a little different from what you seemed to get from it: Jun is the one with blonde hair, the one that's crying is Chan because he now has to finish the show without Jun. Jun is consoling him and cheering him up even though he's the one that got eliminated, his caring and selfless side really shows here
Sir Austin: Let me find out they're LGBTQ+ supporters. Me: Just finished watching Tinted with You XD Also re their busking videos, there's loads on their own channel. In fact, their youtube channel is a gold mine, well worth skimming through (or, if you're like me, watching all of it xD)
Its ok if your videos take a long time. Its fun seeing someone who literally show interest with them and appreciate for who they are and not just for the views. Love it!
Happy to see A.C.E getting more love now that they are entering enlistment era (Chan being the current exception). The guys are amazing and Im already anticipating their comeback ^^
when you said "struggle with moderation" I felt that because I have bought a group's available existing discography (when it isn't insanely large but still) in one go after I IMMEDIATELY fall in love within 24 hours lmao (n.flying, oneus, bdc, etc)
watching a couple of A.C.E's mvs and then diving headfirst into buying their merch and watching hours upon hours of their content is a very relatable experience lol. I'm so glad that you decided to check out more about A.C.E, they are such a unique group and they have so much to offer i'm sure you won't regret it
dont worry we love long videos, ace have lots of content! react to how many videos you want, we will support you! i'm so happy that you decide to check the individual guides too, btw u can tell i stan both of them :D dongjun is literaly heaven
I'm not a CHOICE but I think I'm about to be one after this video x) I definitely love the longer videos for A.C.E :)) But definitely take your time Austin
I've been waiting for more A.C.E! Thank you so much for this video and I'm sure you will love them, they are so talented, funny and best boys :) Long videos are the best, you can do a live stream to react more A.C.E videos together with choice too 🤭
I don't know if anyone mentioned but this is a relatively old guide. So it doesn't have recent comebacks like Siren Dawn and Changer. Siren Dawn has 3 versions (Sun, Eclipse and Moon). Changer is a repackage album as a gift before enlistment :)
Omg, I wish I had the dedication to already buy their albums and lightstick after you first impression! That’s a born Choice right there😍 I can barely keep hold of groups I’ve stanned for years😅
basically all the old albums are super hard to find, all the ones you bought were released last year, i'd say anything before hjzm will probably only be available second hand or not available at all hhh it's a struggle
im so so glad youre getting into A.C.E 🥺 their one of my ults and they deserve so so so much love. some of the most down to earth, talented and goofy guys i stan
I'm so in love with A.C.E that it makes me happy to know more people enjoy their talents. Your A.C.E reactions warm my heart😊 All members are talented in every possible way, charismatic and handsome, I love and support ot5, but Chan has a special spot in my heart, he is such a ray of sunshine and happy virus. But all the rest wreck me every comeback😅
Austin, i'm late in your videos ahahah so i am watching a lot of old videos too. I dont remember in wich one you mentioned VIXX. That people talk they are creepy and have a lot of horror and you don't like it and was a little bit afraid to give them a chance. SOOOOOO i want to say that they have only one video that is creepy and this one has a clean version ahahahaha . Sorry the long comment, but i just want to suggest you some songs by VIXX: I suggest you the most recent ones to fall in love (Scentist-one of my favorite and also the MV is veautiful; Shangri-la-the mv is art. Just art. And the song it's beautiful; The closer; Fantasy-Ravi whispering with his deep voice OMG). They photography and cinematography is ART. From the most recent to the oldest. Walking (SUB; ballad, to the fans(?) BEAUTIFUL and i cried. It is not a typical MV, it is like for the fans. They are on the stage in one of their concerts and it's beautiful.) Scentist (SUB;one of my favorites) Shangri-la (SUB, the mv is art. Just art. And the song it's beautiful) The closer (SUB) Fantasy (SUB;Ravi whispering with his deep voice OMG) Dynamite (NO SUB) Chained up (SUB come on BDSM ahaha) Love equation (NO SUBS, CUTIE. HOW YOU CAN BE AFRAID OF THIS CUTIES?aahahah) Error (SUB,sad and beautiful. Yes i always cry with this one) Eternity (NO SUB; romantic and sad with steampunk visual) Voodoo Doll- CLEAN VERSION-NO GORE INCLUDED (NO SUB;the original MV is a little bit GORE. THE ONLY MV THAT IS ACTUALLY TERRIFYING and i love the original hahahaha) Only you(NO SUB; beautiful) Girls, why? feat.OKDAL (NO SUB; sweet and cute) G.R.8.U (NO SUB; This song is for MR.Jekyll and is connected to Hyde the previous MV) Hyde(NO SUB; VIsual+ vocals+ Long hair Leo. Connected to G.R.8.U in Hyde they are Dr Hyde; they have the evel inside them) On and On (NO SUB; It is in space AND I SWEAR THAT IS ANDROMEDA(from the myth) IN THE MV. ICONIC phrase: i need therapy hahaha) Rock your body (NO SUB;typical 2012 song; video game visual) Super hero (NO SUB;DEBUT. Make you wanna dance. I really love the color and for the year when it was recorded, the mv is not bad.) AND i'm not part of the fandom, so if someone want to add something i will be glad.
I was so happy to see this in my sub feed! I can't wait for you to continue learning more about them (as you have time). Donghun was the last one that I was able to recognize and notice as I started watching them and then he became on of my 3 ults. I say that in A.C.E I have an ult (Donghun) and 4 bias-wreckers 😂 so it's not uncommon to bias all of them as they are all incredibly talented, handsome, and charismatic.
32:08 it's Oh NaNa; a song from Kard a mixed group(2 boys and 2 girls ) they are amazing. 38:41 you must know this song, it's Bang bang bang by BIGBANG a classic one
I'm just so happy to see your reaction. I love them so much! Their music, their voices, their personalities... everything!! And it's really hard to pick a bias when they all leave you speechless with their talent. I recommend you to check their vocal and dance covers. I would also like to see your comments about the photobook of the albums you have. The photos of Siren:Dawn are AMAZING! I'll be waiting for the next reactiooooons. Thank yoooooou
no wait not you making me cry at Junhees part 😭 cuz YES. he uploaded all the time and consistently told us goodnight and then to go to nothing and complete silence when he enlisted makes me so sad ;-;
They have busking and radio videos online 😊 we would love for you to react 27:21 Chan (maknae) was crying for Jun getting eliminated. And Jun was consoling him.
Jun has one of the prettiest falsettos. IMO he has the same vocal stylization as Baekhyun...Which makes sense because EXO bias. xD Also don't forget your thirst-aid kit.
