NCT DREAM REACTION | a subpar guide to nct dream: take two (NCT GUIDE) 

This should be the last video with choppy parts, sorry again. 😞 FOLLOW me on TWITTER if you'd like twitter.com/graysplays

jaemin is not just lead dancer, he's also rapper, center of the group (tbh all of them are) and stealer of our hearts 😤😤

Renjun originally took up art as form of therapy to help with his anxiety and grew to love it. He has a very unique imagination and often draws fantastic creatures and landscapes that are not hard in reality. Actually the main reason he’s fluent in Korean is because his grandparents are Korean and he grew up speaking it (though with a regional accent and vocabulary which they often teased him about in the early days). It’s a running joke that Renjun is more Korean than the Korean members, he grew up watching Korean dramas and refers to them frequently and gets frustrated when the others don’t know what he’s talking about

Stray kids and NCT dream have so many moments, colabs, and interactions. They are quite close, especially felix and chenle :)

The girl Jeno was co-hosting with is Yeeun, she's part of a group called CLC and is their main rapper, her and Jeno became friends due to being MCs together. The members like to tease Renjun so much, I think at this point they just want to see him get angry lol. Fun fact: Jisung and Chenle met in China during a program before entering SM and became friends even though they couldn't really talk because of the language barrier, but then they met again in SM and debuted together!. Also even though Mark is the oldest one everyone in the group agrees that he's just the cutest and you'll often see them doing things like cuddling him or pinching his cheeks

Something has been upgrade: Now Dream has 3 Main Vocals (HC, RJ and CL). Jeno also upgrade as a Main Rapper along Mark. Jaemin officially Dream representative Main Centre (127 is Taeyong, WayV is Lucas)

That’s right, Jaemin is also the lead rapper and center of the group. I’d love to add, that when guides says he’s full of love and a sweetheart. It’s truly true. He was casted while doing volunteer work and has continued even after debuting. He has a lot of care and love for the people around him. From his family, to his friends, to the fans and even to the people in need. He has a lot love, gratefulness and respect towards his mom as well(he always talks about her and her teachings) and talks about how her teachings shaped him as a person. And that’s probably why he said that he’s like his mom. My favorite teaching of his mom is “if you receive, you should know how to give.” Which speaks a lot about Jaemin as philanthropist as well. I just wanted to add all this, cause there’s no existing nct guide that delves into members properly. As someone I idolized, the part about Jaemin that i admire and respect the most is his character. That’s why i wanted to share this to you. He’s a beautiful person with an even more beautiful heart. Some additional facts about him tho: •he’s either 100% or 0% nothing in between. When he’s with dreamies sometimes he’s insane. The other times, he’s just really silent and aloof in the corner. •He’s an introvert. Like i said, sometimes you just see him quiet in the corner especially around members that aren’t the dreamies. He stated it’s because beinh around people sometimes tires him and he needs to recharge. He gets a ton of hate because of this, which is so dumb.

This guide kinda did Jaemin dirty. He is a lead rapper, lead dancer and sub vocalist, in addition to being the center of the group/face of the group.

9:41 for this particular scene I just want to say that having a tiny head or face is actually one of the beauty standard in Korea. So if someone said that you have a tiny face it’s a compliment.

Actually now it's been updated!! Mark is the leader, main rapper and main dancer Renjun is the main vocalist and lead dancer Jeno is the main rapper, lead dancer, visual and vocalist (he is also called Dream's captain since he was kind of a leader for a short time) Haechan is the main vocalist, lead dancer and sub rapper Jaemin is a lead rapper, lead dancer, visual and the center Chenle is the main vocalist aaannnddd Jisung is the main dancer, rapper and vocalist and maknae!!!😊

NCT Dream is actually SM's second attempt at doing a graduation group concept. Super Junior originally debuted as Super Junior '05 with 12 members and was set to be a rotational graduating group, however once their fanbase started being locked in, there was immense pushback about the concept and in 2006 Kyuhyun was introduced as the 13th member and the concept was dropped. The idea for Dream was solid and made a lot of sense as a way to both promote younger members and help build a fanbase for new units down the road, but for whatever reason they just never introduced new members especially when we know tht Sungchan was a trainee for several years and was probably the only person who fit the age range to be added after Dream debuted. I do believe part of it was fear of pushback because Kyuhyun and Yeri both faced fairly large hate campaigns for their additions to their respective groups. Even Jungwoo received a massive backlash for his addition to 127. (Johnny and Doyoung had it much easier as both were part of SM Rookies with the NCT members and featured in NCT content before they were added to the unit.)

And yes, Chenle had a very successful career in China pre-debut. He has been performing and recording professionally since he was very young, he had a solo tour and everything. He’s the only Dreamie with professional singing training, he’s also the only one who has not auditioned but was asked to join directly based on his abilities. He trained only a few months (mostly to learn Korean) before debuting. Chenle and Jisung have a RU-vid show together called ‘ChenJi’s This and That’, you should watch it to get a better idea of their relationship. And Jisung doesnt call Chenle ‘hyung’ as traditionally would be appropriate, they’re only three months apart so Jisung wanted a same-age friend and since Chenle is t Korean to start with, it didn’t really make a difference to him

nct dream are my babies, we basically saw them grow up 😭

Learning name pronunciations from people who don't know korean to someone who also doesnt know korean is always tricky. Here's my best at writing down the proper pronunciations in the english alphabet: Mark: literally just mark, but technically mah-keu is how koreans pronounce it Renjun: rawn-jween Jeno: jeh-noh Haechan: heh-chan Jaemin: jeh-meen Chenle: chawn-law Jisung: jee-sawng For future reference, when a name has "ae," many people mistake the sound for "ay" but it's a bit closer to "eh." Like for example, "Haechan," some people say "hay-chan" instead of "heh-chan"

I feel like the guide doesn’t explain enough that Jaemin is literally (and voluntarily) the Mom of Dream. He cooks, cleans, knows how to do laundry and repair things - of course they have the dorm aunties who feed them and stuff but Jaemin is very capable with household chores. While he’s technically part of the maknae line, he’s one of the most dependable members - the others often joke how Jaemin is the mom while Jeno is the dad (due to their close friendship and tendency to do everything together). He’s an important person especially to Jisung, he’s the one Jisung will go to for help and advice. Jaemin is also at times excessively introverted despite appearances to contrary, but it’s beautiful how his members know and respect that when it happens

I think SM planned to add a lot more new members to dream after they graduate and make another unit for the graduated dreamies but what SM failed to predict is that we got too attached to the current dreamies. I cried so much when mark graduated

Trust me as someone 2 years younger than jisung, being a fan since their debut has been crazy, not only do I see how much they have grown, but I can also relize how much I've grown as well. I remember being so happy there was an idol that was so close to my age, and now idols younger than me are debuting its so crazy yet cool.

I’ve been their fan before they debuted when they were on the Mickey Mouse show and it’s been absolutely insane watching them grow up. Especially Jisung.

Nct as a whole.. Nct currently have 23 members now with 4 sub unit.. Nct U, Nct 127 , Nct Dream & WayV. * Nct 127 - It's a fixed unit with 9 members - Taeyong (Leader),Taeil, Johnny, Yuta, Jaehyun, Doyoung, Jungwoo, Mark & Haechan. (Winwin was a member of 127 but he isn't active anymore as 127 since he join wayV 2018 ) * Nct Dream - It's now a fixed sub unit with 7 members - Mark Lee (Leader) , Renjun, Jeno, Jaemin, Haechan, Chenle & Jisung. * Nct WayV - It's a sub unit of Chinese boy group with 7 members - Kun ( Leader) , Ten , Winwin, Lucas, Xiaozun, Hendery & Yangyang * Nct U is a rotational group for all 23 members. It can change the members with who fits the concept & songs. * 2 new members Shotaro & Sungchan were added on Nct 2020 so new sub unit are on the way.. Also Nct Hollywood is officially on the making through an audition program.. It's going to be an All American boy band. Note - As you know Both Mark & Haechan are in Nct 127 & Nct Dream. Mark is in SuperM as well with Taeyong , Ten & Lucas . ( superM is a powerful boy band from different SM group Shinee, Exo, Nct127, Dream & WayV)

Jaemin has by far wrecked my bias list entirely

I've been an overall/all unit NCT fan since the beginning and even seeing the dreamies in Mickey Mouse Club or all of them in SM Rookies (miss you Hansol) and it's honestly quite strange seeing them all grow and develop so much when I'm the same age as Chenle!!!! I feel like I look so much older than most of them, but maybe only because of my face piercings and rbf. lol

I mean I get what SM had thought of with dream. NCT's concept is limitless, so sure at some point in the future there could be 40-50 members if they want. The whole idea was that all the newly debuted young members would first be in NCT Dream, like a stepping stone. The incoming new members would make up for the graduating members. So according to their age, the new members could comfortably perform concepts that are suitable with the age as well as get used to everything properly. That way when they turn 20 and graduate, they can move on to NCT U or any other new units in the future. It was pretty smart tbh. But the fans are attached with the 7dream lineup and were devastated with Mark leaving. And thinking about all the current dream members leaving the unit at some point and not performing together (all getting distributed into separate units) wasn't something anyone was looking forward to. So fans complains plus other factors made SM scrap the whole grad idea.

I was a nctzen since "chewing gum" but I didn't come a fan of dream until "go" because I'm not crazy about cute concepts but its funny how now they are my favorite unit lol - I wont lie sometimes I get emotional watching their old videos bcuz of how much they've grown 😭

Bro when the 00’ liners were becoming of age, all NCTzens were frEAKING OUT AND NCTZENS JUST KEPT ON REQUESTING SM TO CHANGE THE GRADUATION CONCEPT AND FINALLY OUR REQUEST APWAS ACCEPTED I’m so happyyyyy 😭

NCT was not the first experimental graduating unit from SM Entertainment (Super Junior was supposed to have a graduation system too) and the music industry (theres the AKB franchise). It was actually kind of interesting at first but then people eventually will get fond of the members chemistry with each other that is why it won't work with NCT Dream. I think SM will make another graduating group (new or maybe new NCT Unit) because SM doesn't want to give up in these kind of experiment ....look at NCT's unlimited concept people weren't too keen at first but yeah.

enjoy your honeymoon phase of nct right before comeback season ! Just a little line up of whats confirmed for NCT the rest of this year : September: NCT127 studio ablum Rest of the year no specific date : NCT127 Repackage WayV Full album NCT2021 album. NCT2021 is the same concept as the Resonate song, its an album where there is new units formed under the name NCT U and every unit gets a song on the album too

As you watch their videos, pay attention to how they pronounce each other's name's. That's how I learned.

WayV Guide 💚 “(un)HELPFUL guide to wayv | 2021”

if you are gonna watch a wayv guide i suggest the most recent one, it has really good new clips

jaemin is one of nct's main dancers as a whole and he is the center and face of nct dream along with jeno

SM used to do that thing back in Super Junior. they debuted in 2005 with 12 members and other people would join and some will leave. but they stopped doing that. and Super Junior had until 15 members. But now They have 9 active members. Super Junior is also a great group. Music, Dance and Vocals. Variety fun also.

I feel like the part 1 guide had the more accurate positions for the members. In all honesty, Dream has 7 vocalists, 7 rappers, and 7 dancers Mark: leader, main rapper, main dancer, sub vocalist, face of the group Renjun: main vocal, lead dancer, sub rapper Jeno: lead rapper, lead dancer Haechan: main vocal, leader dancer, sub rapper Jaemin: leader rapper, lead dancer, center/visual Chenle: main vocal, sub rapper Jisung: main dancer, vocal, rapper, maknae

the korean pronunciation for jaemin’s name is jæ-min, jay-min is just an american way to say it but the correct pronunciation is jæ-min

Who told you 1-1-9 was a sweet song lol they definitely lied to you

To pronounce Jaemin, it's Jay-mint (with a silent t)

When you react to a WayV guide please react to the a Unhelpful Guide to WayV | 2021 by Lao Gan Mao and not the Subpar guide bc it has more recent clips :)

Great reaction! And don't worry, you are very good with their names and pronunciation, we all speak different languages so it's normal to have an accent or a little problem with pronunciation ;) it will all come with time so just enjoy the content and have fun, that's the most important 😊

I swear someday ur gonna say you one of the best decisions you made was stanning this boysss

Omg nct halloween party is the best thing ever I thing u should watch this

kinda sad that they didn't show Jisung's shaking hands habit. Instead of stretching out an open hand, he sticks out his index and middle finger like scissor's. Also, he did a show with Taemin in America called Why not the dancer and did a dance competition called Dance High. You should check out clips from both, but his performances in Dance High were amazing!!

Imma say, you're doing great....

I’ve seen people describing the dreamies as charming and it’s very true aha

Gray please react to Nct JCC 'making mini movies with Mark ' It's all in english and it's hella hilarious. I guarantee you that you will be laughing your heart out watching this segment.. All 3 short video of it 💚😆

The girl Jeno is co hosting with is Ye eun from CLC. She is the main rapper.

Nct talent no joke

honestly every member of dream is a savage 😂 #markapproves

if my facts are correct, and they might not be because I'm quite new to NCT as well, but Lucas was mentioned as the honorary member of Dream because he was technically young enough to join dream, being only slightly older than Mark and born in the same year. however, his physique and aura he presented SM didn't feel embodied the cute, fresh vibe they were going for for Dream, which is why he didn't debut with them, loves being with the maknae line, and wants to join Dream. don't quote me on that though, that's just based on my understanding through NCT content.

They were planning to steadily add more ppl but that didn’t work out for multiple reasons including the fact that SM kinda sucks with managing their trainees and because everyone was already attached to the current members an the group as 7. It was clear that SM just couldn’t have kept up with that concept anyways because they would never be able to debut trainees that fast and adding 4-5 new members every time someone turned 20 was bound to fail.

Yea Chen Le was indeed a child star! He went on various talent programs including china's got talent when he was like 9 yrs old. He sang with the vienna philharmonic orchestra and he even released his own songs and had his own solo concert, all before joining NCT at 15 yrs old! Here is his china's got talent audition: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3EfSUzYZACY.html Here is his performance of "memory" with the vienna philharmonic orchestra: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_Xbq8IUqgtc.html

Renjun is one of the shortest member of NCT, he's 171cm/ 5'7, and the rest of the members are 5'9-5'11, thats why they make fun of him sometimes XD

Next WAYV please

Lucas is my bias in WayV but dream is my fav unit and no one told me they performed together???😭

YESSS SKSKKSKQLQPQLLQLQLQ SO happy you're getting into NCT You're literally so good with remembering faces it's really impressive

In the chewing gum era jisung was 14 in international age but in korean age he was 16 lol which is still young but if ur wondering why (in korea u are either 1 or 2 year older depending on when ur birthday is)oh and fun fact: in korea there is no kindergarten

Dang had to close app to see video

Jaemin's name is written 재민 (j-ae-min, pronounced as 'jemin') if it was pronounced jay-min it think it would be written 재이민 (jae-e-min), so I'm not 100% sure but I think it's jaemin with a short "ae" sound !

yeeesss i love the nct reactions!!

Awes you mentioned me ;P cuuute. i knew you couldn’t stay away for long ;P

Please use the updated guide for WayV by Lau Gan Ma

Please🙏🏻💚 WAYV Marathon🔥 & NCT U Marathon✨

I'll tell you whats that, you either pronounce his name as 'jayyymin' or 'j min' their no in between lol. You dont have to do it exactly the same way koreans do, but just enhance the 'e' sound. Just Je-min. In korean theres a slight difference between 'Jae' and 'Je', e and ae are different vowels, but saying 'je-min' is more that fine

12:47 yeah I can imagine that… bc I was there for it. Lemme just tell you, Go absolutely blew my mind 😂

Mark is also the leader in NCT Dream 😊

we need a reaction video of haechan's guide seriously :')

yes an nct dream reaction!! i'd like to see you react to a treasure guide too!!

Jaemin - Jay - min like Jaehyun - Jay - hyun

abt pronounciation: "daniel" in the beginning of the video is the robot narrator that mispronounces their name. use the first clips of correct korean pronounciation as reference for how you should be pronouncing their names (except mark LOL his actual name is legit just mark)

Reaction (un)HELPFUL guide to WayV 2021 by Lao Gan Ma,please!💚

My boys... So funny n talented

do WayV please :")

i love this❤

12:48 present hehehehe before SM rookies (for some of them) hehehehe It's indeed amazing and they are literally like kids whatever age they might be.

My babies🥰🥰🥰

Did you noticed Lucas’ birthday? He’s literally two days older than you 😂

"119 is sweet song" lmfao, who lied to you boy, smh this fandom 119 is part of a group within nct that we like to call "hoe anthems", that pretty much clarifies it

Who did that fans video? Jaemin is basically rapper,lead dancer, sub vocalist, and center of the group

i would just put 재민 (jaemin) in google translate and press the audio button because it's too hard to explain in text lol it's basically a soft J sound tho. If you make it too breathy like CH that's a different letter in korean.

12:57 yes it was crazy

Please react to the "unhelpful guide to wayv" it's the only unit that you didn't react to

A month later and I’m still learning still learning NCT, great 🙃

Who’s my bias gray! Redemption round!

Actually this is pretty outdated, if u wanna know the position, u need to see it on kprofiles

I clicked right away 😂

yay another nct content hehehe

Please React TREASURE guide 💙💎

Please react to NCT full of love

can you do a reaction for nct WayV

can u react to From Home MV, Rearranged MV and Recording?

React to the boyz please😁

It's okay if you mispronounce their names It will get better eventually cause NCT themselves still don't know each other names fully so YEEE welcome to the neo city SHEEESH

U should react to renjun's angry or short tempered compilation lol

there is a wayv guide but i think it's not updated

i think you should just say jay-min, the way you say it kinda sounds like 즈민 (jeu-min) instead of 재민 jay-min

Could you do a subpar guide to wayv by softjun the same one who made the guides for the other sub units of nct it’s not that outdated since nothing much has happened from what I know so far

Please react to nct dream funny moment😆💚

Please react Nct funny videos :)
