I feel so happy and super excited about their comeback. Their new songs were awesome. Nerdy was so much fun. I really love everything about them. Thank you so much for this.
Thanks for your reaction, just read from Twitter knowing that Purple Kiss's Goeun mentioned Mamamoo Moonbyul in an interview. "This time Moonbyul sunbaenim helped us in monitoring, she suggested of continuing the witch storyline with this album . We're thankful to her for giving us advice on expanding our witch lore"
So want to add one thing I found out about the duck line from Yuki's rap. It is a play on words with the Korean word "deokhu", which is slang for an obsessive fan. It is based on the Japanese word "Otaku".
The story videos for Nerdy also build off the story videos from memeM as they also show them as witches along with the same Wes Anderson-ish style. Another nice touch with the Halloween version of Zombie is a blend of both choreography from the original along with plenty of new moves. If I had one minor complaint about this version is that Swan's "Fire" adlib feels just slightly out of place compared to the rest. Still, it is an absolutely amazing version. I have been listening to Bye Bye Bully so much for the last week. Swan and Goeun really shine here and show of the qualities of both of the main vocalists. I really hope they take a page from Freaky Purky (aka Pretty Pyscho) and Can't Stop Dreamin' which they turned into full songs. Freaky Purky was the intro for Zombie and was a B-Side for memeM while Can't Stop Dreamin' was one of the predebut trailers (For Ireh since each one had their own). Bye Bye Bully however is my second song on this new album after Love Is Dead. Hopefully, they will do a performance video for Love is Dead so you can check it out. Digging the full embracing of the whole witch theme this time and I hope they keep it up. It really suits them. Right now I can't really decide whether I like Nerdy or memeM better. These each has their qualities. MV-wise, Nerdy certainly wins. Yuki is truly a queen. I believe the show in the MV is supposed to be called "The Witch". In their commentary yesterday, they said part of the witches is to get revenge on the network for making the show which has the witch as a villain. Hoping that this leads to their first music win. They really deserve it. And don't worry, you still got plenty of content to check out from them. I would assume next when you get a chance will their debut, Ponzona. I think you will enjoy it since it is on the darker side for them.
Thank you for reacting to the zombie halloween version, the intro, and Nerdy! Also thanks for checking out the story films offline! I was not expecting all of that in a single video! They always do an intro performance for every title track and they're always great!
I feel like you would really love their performance film for Pretty Psycho. It's one of my favorite songs of theirs and the video is pretty dark. It's from the same album as MemeM Editing to add that you may also want to react to Swan's solo song covers as well. She plans them all herself and they're so cool!
It was the other way round for me. I listened to the Halloween ver. so much that the original sounded weird 😂 I love them both equally now I LOVE the electro-swing vibes of Nerdy! Big Caravan Palace fan here, so it was really nice to hear that style in kpop! Im so glad you're enjoying PK as much as the rest of us. As a metalhead, you might wanna check out My Heart Skip a Beat next 👍
I like the Halloween version better! It's different than the original. I love the original too but this one just hits me more! Plus that choreo!!! Sooo good! Purple Kiss needs to be talked about way more than they are! The vocals raps and choreo are ridiculous not to mention their visuals!!!! I'm obsessed with Swan! Her Billie Eilish style vocals really get me! Bye Bye Bully us a really good song and performance too I love that they always give us that extra content! I wish it was longer!!!! Already love Nerdy so much! That was me in high-school with the hoodie too big being a total nerd! So glad you checked all this extra stuff out this was a really fun reaction! The pink outfits and that breakdown part reminds me of Tomboys lalala part and I love that!
This was so good, feel like they can't miss with their MV's. When you get to pink fantasy tales of the unusual perfomance mv, there is a zombie version, I think you get blown away lol
i still prefere the original version more catchy and more bubly . but this one is really cool to everything is on point . ( make-up , outfit , mood , choré , vocal)
The way they changed Zombie to become proper scary is so reminiscent of (G)I-DLE changing Put It Straight for when they competed in Queendom 2019, I absolutely love it! I kinda have to recommend that you check it out; specifically, *please* do a double-reaction with the original Put It Straight (from the I Made mini album) and Put It Straight (Nightmare Version) performance on Queendom - alternatively the Halloween choreography video if there are issues with copyright 🥺🥺
The Queendom Put it Straight reaction was deleted due to copyright issues :( I'm never posting mnet related content after they gave me a copyright strike.
@@DGReacts Aw that sucks... have you seen the Halloween dance practice video from the official (G)I-DLE channel? If not, I'd still be down for a reaction to it - shortly after a reaction to the original Put It Straight 😉 Its the same song from Queendom but they got full-on halloween costumes on, for example, Minnie as The Nun.
Nerdy is a very fun MV and the song is really dope! I'm glad you got to check out the Halloween version of Zombie. Also, I just want to say that I subscribed to your channel because I like your analyses and your personality. I think it's kinda cool that you're trying to give the people what they want, but I personally think you should do these videos the way you want to do them. If people don't like you pausing and talking then shouldn't they deal with it and not you? Do your thing the way you want.
I appreciate that, I was really against it at first but after a few videos I'm not only able to give a first reaction without (almost) interruptions but also watching the video a 2nd time gives me more time to think about the video and catch some things I may miss on a first watch. After some time this style became more natural to me, but I appreciate those who either like the previous style or like both and don't really care how I approach it!
I hope that you will still get these posts. Wanted to touch on a couple of other tings. First, I really dig your vibe. I've seen loads of reaction videos but you're nailing it. Great job. You're very perceptive to noticing minutiae that has escaped even the mighty me... How can that be? I'm fairly active following PK and only recently discovered their cover of Vegas by Doja Cat. It's Yuki and Chaein but DANG it is good. If you haven't seen it, do check it out. Thanks again for the very insightful and always fun reactions DG.
I'm kinda late here with my reply but the thing that's so compelling, at least to me, about PK is contrast. There's always a contradiction. Their overall vibe seems to follow this basic concept; I'm cute, but I'm dangerous. Just about everything that they've done that seems to follow their identity will encompass that spirit and always contrast, never a single, linear, statement. That's what to me seperates them from the status quo. RBW seems to be trying to steer them toward a cutsie, cookie-cutter, mold and it is not working. Sure the music is good but it lacks what I call the Purple Kiss identity. That said there is just so much intreguing about these girls. Most of them could easily function as an individual idol , but unencumbered by beaurocratic push and pull , they are magical, do pardon the pun. Cheers.
