Producer Reacts to SEVENTEEN "Don't Wanna Cry" 

OKAY I SWEAR I DIDN'T PLAN THIS BUT HOLY FUCK THIS VIDEO IS 17 MINUTES LONG. #HYPE

i was questioning why he reacted like a huge fan when jeonghan appeared then i saw a picture frame of jeonghan on the background then it sink in.

you being such a Seventeen/Jeonghan fanby gives me life

I laughed when video just started and vernon started singing and he was like 10/10. Honestly same

pd just represents every carat

Don't know exactly about the story, but for me the message was, that even though the city is full of people, they feel alone as if they were in the middle of the dessert

LMAO HE HAS JEONGHAN'S PICTURE FRAMED AT THE BACK HAHAHAHAHAAA

Jeonghan got so much screen time. I AM SO HAPPY!~

“I feel bad for that girl. It must suck to be standing right next to Jeonghan, also with blonde hair, because he’s always going to look better.” It’s been months and this is still one of the greatest things I’ve ever heard you say.

wonu's last part means "When half of me is gone, how can I live as one?" it's hard not to cry

"I was about to leave but then. I'm sorry I just have to watch the mv again. a third time. I'm sorry." 😂 Me

But unbiased opinion, jeonghan really did own this song. The moment where he drops down to his knees, him singing emotionally and even his expression, it's all on point.. he made the song even more heartbreaking. I literally keep replaying that part so many times because it was so painfully beautiful.

I love Jeonghan in black hair, but Jeonghan in that platinum blonde wavy hair is TO DIE FOR OMG. AND THAT OUTFIT! WHY DOES HE LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL AND HANDSOME??? JEONGHAN IS THE LOVE OF MY LIFE AS WELL AND I JUST REALIZE I NEED TO FRAME PICTURES OF HIM IN MY ROOM TOO

SEVENTEEN want us to not cry, but I don't think they succeed at this point

It's not important, but I love how Seungkwan is the only one wearing a dark shade of blue in the desert shots. It makes him stand out so much~~

This is the first time I've seen this RU-vidr and I gotta say his reaction to Seventeen is so genuine and refreshing! His ability to recognize all the members immediately and know which unit they're in had me grinning but I lost it when I realized he had a friggin FRAMED PHOTO of Jeonghan in the back! Subscribed and loving it!

Okay so Don't Wanna Cry is a song with EDM beats, which tbh, I hate. What make me, who can't stand EDM, fall in love with this song are the composition of the vocals and the arrangement of the bridge. Fuck, the bridge. It's my favorite part because it shows that SEVENTEEN is developing but they still stick to their roots, which is brilliant instrumental arrangement. Blending violin with EDM beats, I mean, who the fuck does that? But it works. Beautifully. Wonwoo's vocal just fits right into that part, it was so intense and powerful and emotional I just can't ;;;;;;; And that choreography, that synchronization ;;;; I hope that their knees are okay (esp Seungcheol's because of an old man he is:)))))). Not to be a headass but SEVENTEEN deserves every win for this comeback just saying

YOU.ARE.LITERALLY.MY.MOST.FAV.PERSON.EVER!!! Uh... maybe after Jeonghan BUT STILL!!! And no, your reaction didn't look fake because I did exactly like that too 😂 Oh and thank you for kind of educating us here and on twitter about music. Let the world hear you PD-Nim 😉

I AM LAUGHING SO MUCH LMFAO THIS REACTION And as a wonwoo stan, that wheezing and high pitched squeal, 100% CAN RELATE

A DAMN TRIPLE REACTION *It's so deserving I'm not even mad PD*

I literally agree with your every single piece of points!!!!!!!! Jeonghan really is the MVP in this comeback. Seventeen slayed again.

Listen, the "I've been waiting my whole life, sitting in my mother's uterus for jeonghan to shine" part was the most accurate description of how I felt the entire mv, like I appreciate everything completely and each memember, but my whole life has been building up and anticipating this comeback where Jeonghan truly gets to show his talent and shine. Thank u for putting it so well and accurate

you are so right how special Wonwoo's voice is, I love it whether singing or rapping. and you are right how great Jeonghan was here too, able to emote so naturally I felt his singing, not just cute but emotional. Go Wonwoo and Jeonghan!

THEY ARE ALL SO RUDE IN THIS VIDEO, especially Jun Jeonghan and Hoshi. Also (dunno if this is true), when Wonwoo auditioned for Pledis he originally wanted to be a singer, but they made him a rapper for some reason. And the reason why this video doesn't have any storyline is because it got leaked, so Pledis had to change it last minute of something. Anyways, this MV killed me.

"This was like a chainsmoker song...but if it was good" *THE TEA IS SCALDING*

Song: literally started Pd: 10/10

EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT ABOUT THE CHAINSMOKERS THING. The chorus has a chainsmokers vibe (but really, only the chorus; so essentially the EDM focused bit) but SOOOO much better. Like everything is taken to the next level. Excellent musical production, arrangement and composition, meaningful lyrics, and the VOCALS AND ADLIBS HOLYYY! (Plus stunning choreo no duh-- it’s SVT). It’s like Chainsmokers if they weren’t mediocre and bland in every way possible lmao. (I’m extremely sorry if I offend anyone, but that’s honestly what I immediately thought when watching this MV).

This is literally the same reaction I had

as usual, the beautiful jeonghan portrait sitting high and proud at the back distracting me from the video..

Honestly you’re not all that wrong when you say Wonwoo feels like the MVP of the video (but even more right when you say all the members feel like MVP) But like seriously, about Wonwoo; first he starts off the song WITH THE MOST BEAUTIFUL, DEEP, HEART FLUTTERING VOICE EVER AND I'M ALREADY SO IN AWE... And then he's freaking SLAYING IN THAT BRIDGE. Honestly I thought for a fact that no way could I love this guy any more than I already did but I guess I was wrong lmao. Not only does he look great in the video (as always duhhh), but he just so perfectly expresses that pain and sorrow through both his actions in the MV, and his powerful vocals; not once but TWO TIMES in the bridge (once with Mingyu, and once with Seungkwan). You’re totally right when you say Wonwoo and Mingyu are seriously underplayed by Pledis. Like even more than Jeonghan and Joshua because they’re at least vocal unit members so they’re guaranteed some lines. But like Wonwoo? Mingyu?... Wonwoo especially. He has so much potential locked away in him to be both an amazing rapper AND singer and rapper. Like dis boy is a serious all rounder but like Pledis doesn’t seem to NOTICE. Like hello??? I mean he usually always gets decent screen time... but this is the first comeback where I felt like they finally gave Wonwoo some justice in the title track with those lines. I want to write a couple paragraphs about Jeonghan and how much he’s improved too. And how you’re totally right about the fact that Jeonghan SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY Shone in the MV and I was totally stunned by his vocals (it’s Jeonghan’s ERA Y’ALL) but like this comment is getting too long and I feel like everyone understands perfectly well just how amazing Jeonghan was here so I’ll leave it at that lol.

I love watching other people react to them like "See! It's not just me!" ♥

i dont care how many times u react on the mv..i love how u react about it and i acgree on to what ur commenting abt it...i actually search for this channel as long as i watched the mv...

Everything about this mv is just so High Quality to me; the music, the dance, aesthetics (and I luv their clothes srsly

Yo you haven't heard hip hop unit's song yet. Spoiler: There is singing. Mingyu's ethereal singing.

its the wonwoo era guys!

I've finally found someone who loves jeonghan as much as I think about him every second of the day

AH IM WAITING FOR FIRST LISTEN REACTION

i like the fact that your speak the truth.. i mean you are unbiased, jeonghan is your bias but you admit that his singing wasn't really good.. i also agree that in this song jeonghan really improved a lot 👍

I love how he is literally screaming the entire video xD

I love how you kept rewatching the MV because me too LMAO, I had to watch it at least 6 times because it came out at 2 am for me, and the first watch i was so tired to even speak so i just mindlessly stared at my phone while the MV played xD

It's so beautiful i feel so attacked O.O Bless Jun's arms Minghao's air flip spin thingy, those vocals, that rap section, the airy voices Woozi, Joshua and Jeonghan used, the choreo is lit, WOOZI'S HAIR IS GREEN, the freakin production location was amazing, and bless their stylist, the producion quality *Seizures* I like how just the music itself has ups and downs which hypes us up and then brings us down again, it's like soothing and attacking us in the same song.

THIS IS JEONGHAN ERA. FINALLY MY BABY!

omg i am legit LAUGHING SO MUCH OVER HOW YOU ARE STRUGGLING BETWEEN WONWOO AND JEONGHAN HAHHAHAHAA

I was kind of surprised by this but I absolutely loved it! They're really starting to grow as artists and the album itself is beautiful. I really wish I could purchase the album and support them too but alas I'll just be stuck refreshing their MV in an attempt to support them haha

This was 2 years ago, but I love coming back to PD's reaction

Oh my God this is the most wholesome reaction i have ever watched. I couldn't stop smiling throughout the video. Pd u r the best

Still SVT's ultimate masterpiece..I'm so crossing my fingers for them to top this baby..CUZ THEY DEFINITELY CAN

Never heard a man call another man baby like with the love that u put and i love all this fanboying

I always love watching your reaction! It's like having a conversation with you. You talk exactly the same way I talk to my friend about this comeback. Even the order of praises you gave to them are in the exact order as mine, "This is beautiful on the every level, on the aesthetic level, on the visual level, on the choreography level." I didn't talk about the musical aesthetic at first too. Because, yeah, what caught me first were those three. Especially the choreography, for me. How to say this, it's like the message is there! Even an amateur like me knows what Seventeen trying to deliver through THOSE movements. Yeah, I believe that first reaction isn't supposed to be hysterical, because I believe people wanna listen to the music and focus on the MV, on everything. I also did several watches after I finally start to be hysterical. Like, "OMG is that Chan's voice? I can't believe!" Umm, I wanna talk about everything! Prepare yourself. At first I was like "Is Jeonghan growing his hair again?" Then it turns out there's a girl. And another girl appears. The same as you, I was like "WOW THEY'RE CASTING GIRLS." But then, do you realize we forget about the girls not long after that? Even after several watches, you don't mention about the girls anymore. Haha. Me too, me too. I'm so amazed by the choreography. It's so beautiful. I often comments about the music, the lyrics, that they are so beautiful, but this time I have this ticklish feeling inside my heart when I watch the choreography. Like, I finally understand the meaning behind movements. MY FAVORITE PART OF THE CHOREOGRAPHY IS WHEN SEOKMIN KNEELING SLOWLY THEN THE CAMERA ZOOMED OUT SLOWLY AND THE OTHER MEMBERS APPEAR ON THE CAMERA, ALREADY COVERING THEIR EYES WITH THEIR HAND. I can feel my heart clenched to that simple movement. Like, you know, of so many gestures to show "cry", they chose this covering-your-eyes-with-upper-hand gesture. The gesture shows that if they're going to cry for real, it's going to be a hard and hurtful cry. I also like the choreography when they jump (you also mention about jump!) then they move their foot smoothly and beautifully after. It's so beautiful. The combination of the fast movements with the slower ones are so good. The contrast is so good. Omg I feel like crying again. I feel like this comeback is mainly focus on its dance. But it's also surprising that they're using this kind of song for a dance-focused comeback. I mean, other artists usually use some hard dance music to show off their dance ability, but Seventeen uses this very heartbreaking-sounded music. Well, since "Still Lonely" and "Popular Song" came out, I believe that Seventeen likes to do this contradictory concept. Genius, aren't they? :') Now move to the singing! My favorite part is when Wonwoo and Mingyu rap (or sing) after each other. Wonwoo and Mingyu definitely have contradictory lyrics. Wonwoo says "I'm okay" while Mingyu says "I'm not okay", then followed by Wonwoo says "I won't miss you" while Mingyu says "I miss you so much." Wonwoo sings it in a very angry tone, while Mingyu sings it in a desperate tone. Like, you can hear Mingyu sad sigh at the end of his singing. It's so perfect. :'''''''') I also love the dynamics of the choreography (lol I can't help myself to stop talking about the choreography). It's so beautiful that they're dancing slowly, sadly, desperately and suddenly changing the movements to something faster as if to show that "It hurts a lot, I can't take it anymore, it hurts..." but then, like having a mental fight, the other part of their heart yell "No, you're okay! Chin up! You don't need to cry." Ujjujjujju /starts tearing up again for real/ Oh yeah, and about the correlation of this MV with the teasers, I think of the teasers as a prolog. I never thought of it as some codes to break. So I think it's based on each person's interpretation. I think Seventeen was just trying to show pure sadness, loneliness, desperation, and so on to introduce us to the feeling of the MV. It's like a bridging, like "Prepare yourself, buddies, it's going to be super sad." DID I JUST MAKE AN ESSAY? I can't believe this. I only make this kind of comment on fanfics before. Thank you for the video reaction. I really enjoy it because it feels like having someone to share my thought and feeling about this MV. It would be nice if you would make the first listen video too. Because I wanna know your comment about the songs (I already pick my fav one!). Once again, thank you! (and sorry for writing this long ass essay in your comment section)

Holy crap. New carat here. Working through all of PD’s SVT videos. This song HITS. I get it now.

When I'm having a bad day I come back here and watch this reaction again.

I REALLY like REALLY like how detailed your reaction is. It's not just 'oh I love that song' or 'I love that MV', your really point out what you like, and analysis it, and i really like that because that's how I watch music videos too ~ Honestly (FOR ME) it's their best MV or title song so far, and you can clearly see their growth in any level; the lyrics, the atmosphere of the video, the choreo, each unit trying different things ect. This. Is. A piece. Of art. As a Carat, I couldn't be more proud of our babies. Good job seventeen !

i'm so bad i found this 3 years after... . . 'i feel bad for the girl cause she stand with jeonghan' is really really hilarious ❤❤❤

"This is probably gonna be the fastest reaction" are u kidding me PD? almost 18 min. Not that I'm complaining

Years later and this reaction is still the most relatable one ever hahaha

AIGHT TIME TO WRITE AN ESSAY ABOUT THE CHOREO IN THE COMMENTS because i love it SO MUCH FOR SO MANY REASONS PLS BEAR WITH ME My friend is a dancer and I recently got into dancing for fun so we were both freaking out over how this choreo is SO rooted in contemporary dance. Like contemporary, this choreo is graceful, tells a story, and the steps are broad and move around a lot. WHOEVER DECIDED TO GO FOR THIS STYLE DESERVES ALL THE AWARDS because it really shows how versatile seventeen are. this dance is different to what they've done in the past but it's so good, they have so much control and grace, to be able to switch from fast sharp intense moves to slower, more fluid ones. More so than in the past, this chorey and this song make me feel so emotional because they go together so well. This isn't just a hype song and choreo for the sake of having a catchy title track. They went for something new in order to grow as artists, and the melancholic message and tone of the song despite it being EDM is perfectly matched with this contemp style dance. The formations are incredible, and they extend their body, jump, move around in so many different ways in order to express the song through dance. THEY TRULY DANCE TO THE SOUNDS WE'RE HEARING. They change tempo with the rhythm of the song, go down and do floorwork for the breakdown in the chorus. GOD THAT FLOORWORK. I can't think of any other group who has done so much floorwork, and for that I praise seventeen. THIS IS JUST ONE HELL OF A DANCE and i can't wait for all the live stages and dance practice aaaaaahhhhh

"I was dead, and then this music video brought me back to life" ☺️☺️☺️☺️🤍🤍🤍🤍 best genuine reaction to Seventeen ever huhuhu thank you

while watching this vid, I realize I was like producer when I first watched don't wanna cry mv. I literally tearing up because every thing isso perfect in this music video. the song is trendy and the choreo is awesome. I watched every live versions/ live videos of don't wanna cry AND this is the first time I watched Seventeen vids and got addicted and I can say that I'm officially a CARAT now. my biases are Hoshi and Wonwoo.

triple reaction with rants, this satisfies my need

I am a new Carat and honestly Don't Wanna Cry was the first SVT MV I've ever watched and I've watched it in 2018 but at that time, I just got into NCT 2018 and didn't wanna add more to my brain. I love DWC so much but I stopped myself there because I was amazed already. And recently, I watched it again and officially accepted my fate and became a Carat. I know Aju Nice is the song that got people in korea to know more about Seventeen but you have to admit that Don't Wanna Cry is THE song that got so many international fans into Seventeen. Most of international Kpop fans know this song, thus explains the high number of views. DWC will forever remain one of the most legendary MV and song Seventeen has ever put out. Props to the directors and editors of the MV that highlighted this song and the choreography so much instead of just putting in a story

The thing I really like about this channel is how you try to educate and criticize. You don't just scream and say that they're your bae's (except jeonghan maybe lol) like most of the other reaction channels (I'm not trying to say they're bad). And I love how you talk about things you don't like and still show respect & appreciation. Thank you PD. (Sorry I'm not a native speaker.) And I'm the one recently tried to convince you that I'm Jae lol

this is my favorite of PD's videos I watch it a rediculous amount of times haha!

"10 out of 10" after a few seconds watching the MV "i can't breathe" : what all the Carats were actually thinking as well YEESSSSSS FAM

I agree that they really and truly improved with everything this comeback. Their visuals have me completely shook. And musically they have improved. The whole album has a more mature vibe along with the video. The hip-hop unit blew me away with their vocals considering that they are the hip-hop unit though I know Wonwoo and S. Coups auditioned for their vocals, but they don't constantly get to exercise and show their vocal abilities. They made these EDM (The Chainsmokers vibes) something their own. People saying they plagiarized them, well many EDM songs have similar sounds and feels to them. This really is their greatest album yet and era in my opinion. I'm so happy and proud to be a Carat.

I had the same first reaction, it legit.... Took my breath away and i just had it on repeat for ages Thanks PD for reacting to this video, you definitely gave it justice SVT has totally crushed it with this comeback

rewatching every pd's reaction to seventeen because why not 🤧❤

THE SAME REACTION I HAD omg

I literally cried when I first watched the video because of how proud I am of Seventeen! This is hands down the best MV and song from them. From the visuals to the choreo to the vocals just everything was amazing! Can we just talk about the rap line singing...I'm dead!!!

I was so happy hiphop unit got to sing and got the freaking limelight for a moment. And I'm glad that I finally have proof that it was Jeonghan who sung at the preview of the mv. most people didn't believe me, saying it was probably Joshua or Woozi, like please put some faith in him. He's just as talented as everyone in the vocal team. I'm so glad Jeonghan shone so bright this time.

Love the energy and excitement when it’s about SVT ❤

best reactor so far. fyi jeonghan also co wrote this song alongside scoups, hoshi and of course our priceless woozi.

PD represents the entire carat fandom... 😂😂 DWC is such a legend.. It's so beautiful.. I had to repeat it more than 5 times on the day MV was dropped.. Memories 💙

Its already been 3years, but i think this is still their best song ever.

I didn't plan it, but I've been watching the mv for hours.

ok you are the 2nd best reaction to this vid i have seen .... you are only the 2nd best because i've just seen a cat reacting to this and i'm sorry but that was the best reaction i've ever seen

rapper line singing! everyone shook..no one expected this

For me personally, I will agree Jeonghan WAS the "worst" vocalist in VUnit in the beginning. But I think Jeonghan has improved a bit more than Joshua. Jeonghan's voice has gotten more stability and more range over the few years. I feel like Joshua's voice compared to predebut has gotten a bit more breathy, but he has more personal style(vocal wise) and understands his individuality a bit more than Hannie. Also, I would like to mention that Wonwoo and Mingyu have sang a lot in predebut era, so they have always had pretty nice voices. But I know for a fact that Wonwoo made a personal choice to do rap bc of his passions. And I need to learn this choreo skdkdoos it might be my fav choreo. I will have to make a full choreo assessment when it comes out.

The title is 'Don't Wanna Cry' but i'M CRYING SO HARD

Thank you for not only a super entertaining reaction 😂 but also for being able to speak honestly and in detail about the comeback and the members. I really like how even though you are a huuge fan of seventeen, you don't shy from saying that your fav jeonghan is not the best singer in the vocal line, which isn't hating on him like some ppl (childish ppl lol) would take it. You still look at the group objectively and I think that's awesome. I feel like a lot fans don't do that and just scream and shout and love everything without putting much thought into it 😂 This is totally refreshing.

this is my favorite video of all youtube and i come here from time to time just to see pd-nim freaking out

I FEEL YOU MANNN. my bae wonwoo getting so many parts TT_TT crying like a proud mom

'Everyone is the MVP in this music video' 😎 totally agreed !! Everything about this song is so amazingly produced... the song itself... the choreo... the music video... the distribution of members' part... the lyrics... the emotions... everything.. i really wish more people will.see and realised how talented they are... they basically produced everything with their own sweats & tears... their should achieved more recognition... 😍😍

I always love when you react because you give so much details and depth (more so with seventeen) and you don't just go 'OMG OMG THIS IS SO GOOD' the end.

YEAAAHH SAME REACTION 😂😂 Will you do a first listen tho?

Calm down dud LOL u react to jeonghan is so cute 😂

I frickin love the choreography. It has such a contemporary feeling. especially at Woozi's part, I can never get over how beautiful the choreo looks. I pray for everyone's knees tho XD

All this fanboying- you're my favorite reactor tbh HAHAHAHAHA

There was a comment made about the choreography being quite slow, and it appears that way, but OMG, watch them performing it 2 x faster and they are freaking AMAZING! These guys are so incredibly synchronized, it is almost unreal!

Your reaction to the hiphop unit singing was the same as mine. From the teaser, I kinda figured that Wonwoo and Mingyu would be singing, but nothing prepared me for Vernon's flower petal-like smooth voice and S.Coups' bright sparkly voice. I was shook. The video left me shook on every level. Artistry at it's finest is what it is.

"WONU SINGING" "MINGYU SINGING" "VERNON SINGING" that stuck in my head whenever i listend to this song lol

your reaction to the rap part and jeonghan's part afterwards is literally my reaction to that part. it's soooooooo gooodddd

I'm rewatching this to get back the feels from dwc era. I'm hoping another great masterpieces song like this or maybe beyond that. I'm pray woozi will always get a huge inspiration to make a great song.

I was expecting the Jeonghan's moment as well. I just lover him, he just perfect like that. His dance on the floor it's like "Oh my God" I love this part of choreography

It's so rare to see you so hyped and extra in a video :) This comeback is soooo powerful !!!! I can't believe how Seventeen always comeback with amazing song on every level (visuals, production value, music, choreo,...) !! Also CHINALINE get to SHINE(they have some pretty great momentum on the MV) !!!

I am having a hard time in school and I came to watch this again just to feel better. Thank you PD for your reactions, it always made my day. ❤

Still crying. A tear fell for every time any member did anything and I just wept.

I'm sorry for asking but are you going to do a "First Listen" for this album? That would be awesome^^ (:

i always get back to this video for good vibes 😙

2:59 I'M VERY EXCITED WHEN YOU LOOKED SO STRESSED ABOUT JEONGHAN

"I didn't realize I was dead this entire time and then this music video brought me back to life" LITERALLY ME I love how your reactions with svt are always so honest and how your face lights up with happiness and pride because I see myself doing exactly that, keep on doing videos please!
