The guy hitting the high notes is xiaojun, WayV’s main vocalist. He started off the song in the beginning and he did that kick. He was also in the car splashing himself with water.
Thank you for reacting to Wayv. Xiaojun is up there in terms of vocals in NCT. He is also a fantastic dancer. In WayV’s Phantom MV, he will blow your ears off. And yes please watch the track videos also. They are super good!
Sweet. Thank you for doing this for us.🙏☺️ Anyway Xiaojun is the vocalist with the soulful voice and gorgeous belts. He used to be a theater kid so he is in element here. A huge part of the choreo was done by Ten. Those moves have Ten stamped all over them.😅 I love that they went this direction. All the members had a lot of say on how things were done in this comeback. Among the NCT unit, only they could deliver this type of thing. On My Youth has an English version too. For me this is their best title track to date.
Well based on how much everyone seems to be enjoying this I guess I picked a good time to cover them - they were worth the wait! Xiaojun had most of my favorite parts of the song and MV so I think I'm gonna be fan!
@@ChainReactionsChannel XJ is finally able to unleash his 2nd male lead charm (inside joke).😅 One thing that sets WayV apart from other boy groups is their ability to serve variety. They can do different concepts so well and their songs have different flavors too. You can't put them in a box. Some of the different characters/concept they pulled were: Playboy: Bad Alive Theatrical : Phantom Hardcore/grungy : Turn Back Time Sweet/cute : Love You Sexy with Latin feels : Nectar (performance only) Cool and Vibey : Miracle Dangerously suave : Action Figure And their choreos are always enjoyable and balances sharpness and fluidity. Plus they have Ten as a cherry on top.🍒
Other people have said it but yeah, this is different from other NCT units, but this song is also different for WayV! Theyre kinda of famous for their mature, dark, sexy concepts, and this is definitely new! Loved your reaction as always, and would love to see you react to the track videos for this album!
guy in the beginning, also the guy with the kick & "very r&b" move, the one hitting those notes, Xiaojun's the main vocalist of WayV, u won't find a better vocalist than him in K-Pop/C-Pop
Aww heck yeah WayV! The NCT journey continues lol xD And yes, despite my animosity for SM they do vocals right. It really is incredible how every NCT comeback, no matter which unit, just gets better and better. This was a great reaction CR, thank you! ✌ *All we need now is a SuperM reaction... muahaha lol!*
Thanks for reacting to WayV! You had some great comments that people often overlook! The musical drops, the slowing and then upbeat, the nuances of the choreo, that it was R&B, and the water detail! The emotional vocals, like wow! I was more enthralled in the emotional lyrics and the fact that it was looking a man's perspective of regret and remorse of a breakup. That was refreshing to me as a woman. We often feel that we are the only ones hurt in breakups and the man just merrily goes on his way to another conquest leaving us in the wake and ashes! Such a beautiful, cinematic, instrumental, orchestral, lyrical masterpiece!
I agree this is a deeper and more impactful song than most! It told a story, expressed emotion, and it did those things in unique ways. I think this song and MV were rest special. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and of course thank you for watching!
OMG YES! wayv!!! they are sooooooooooo good (like, the whole nct is tbh) and this new album is amazing. i was just saying that every wayv title track is different, so you get something new every time. hope you get to check them out, loved hearing your thoughts on this song and performance.
@@ChainReactionsChanneltrack videos r usually not the full song but oh so worth watching. Nct U did a few for their Nct 2023 album...be fun to see who u recognised...cos Nct U song are where members who fit d vibe of d songs are put together n we see all sorts of combo of members...i usually get a kick out of seeing who is singing with whom...fun stuff for Nctzens!😁👍
@@aniumar5964 oh interesting! So it's still a performance where you see them, I thought it might be like a lyric video. Very cool thank you for that information. Also thank you for being here!
Yay! Thanks so much for reacting to WayV! And thanks for mentioning me in the list of people who requested a WayV reaction--it is a lot of fun to see it on screen. ; ) I really enjoy your analysis and attention to detail--great job! You bring a great perspective to your reactions which is very much appreciated. WayV is very vocally talented. I really wish that SM promoted them more and allowed them to have more comebacks, but I understand that it is probably not as lucrative for SM to do so as there is quite a bit of anti-Chinese sentiment in S. Korea the past few years because of geopolitical tensions. I hate it when "the real world" interferes in my enjoyment of Kpop/Cpop! LOL
My pleasure, I know this was overdue! I like trying to credit the people who make the recommendations too. Yeah they're very cool, looking forward to more. Thanks for watching with me!
@@ChainReactionsChannel I'm glad you enjoyed it. Also, I just want to add, SM must be confused on how to deal with WayV cuz although they were meant for China, all these political stuff is getting in the way. And instead they attract a lot of international fans even if honestly, many of kpop consumers don't take cpop seriously. And of course Korea is not an option for them..
Hi!I did watch Guilty if you haven't seen my reaction you can see it here - he's amazing! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qWcudKavhRA.html
omg am so glad u did a reaction for ma boyz😢 they are so so talented they can dance vocal rapping they are so so talented boy an the somg is just so so good the whole album is so amazing 6:31 and yeah this is ma boy xiaojun ma angelc vocal he just has amazing voice thank u
Track videos are like teasers of the b-sides of an album. Fan sentiment aside, their recent track videos are must-watch cuz the songs are great and the videos were tastefully done. There are two of them for this album and it's best to watch them in sequence cuz they are connected 1. No One But You + Invincible (2 tracks in 1 video) 2. Poppin Love It would be great if you can check them out, but hey, no pressure.👍
So glad we finally got to WayV!! Totally worth it, this song and album are incredible, Another amazing comeback for them. Funnily enough for this being your first introduction to WayV, this song is extremely different to their usual sound! Their signature is to have a darker, dramatic sound, which fits with this song, but their title tracks are usually a lot more upbeat and just...different lol Idk how to explain it, more Neo ig. But that's not a bad thing at all! This is beautiful and a wonderful direction to go in, really makes me feel things emotionally. WayV are so good at emoting musically. And that's the beauty of NCT, their versatility is insane. WayV have 6 members and the members are Kun (the leader, one of the main vocals), Ten (you obviously know him from "Baggy Jeans"), Xiaojun (theeee main vocal, he's the one singing those high notes and who you asked about at 6:31 + 12:16), Winwin (platinum blond hair, deeper voice), Hendery (longer black hair, one of the rappers), Yangyang (reddish hair, the maknae - or didi in chinese! - main rapper, he's amazing) Xiaojun is one of my absolute favorite vocalists ever. Definitely the best of the male 4th gen in my opinion! He has my 2nd fave voice after Doyoung in NCT. Track Videos (Or also called 'Archiving Videos' sometimes by SM - this company is weird and inconsistent just go with it) are just music videos for shortened versions of bside tracks. the length can vary but it's generally 1-2 mins of audio with a video. NCT releases at least 1 for every comeback lately. Golden Age album had "The Bat", "PADO", "Kangaroo" and "Alley Oop" get 'Archiving Videos' (it's the same thing just a different name), Fact Check album got "Angel Eyes" Track Video, and this On My Youth album got "No One But You + INVINCIBLE" (this combined both bside tracks into 1 video since the videos are connected) and "Poppin' Love". I HIGHLY recommend watching those! You've now checked out 5/6 NCT units. All that's left is NCT DoJaeJung (aka DJJ which is Doyoung, Jaehyun, and Jungwoo of 127)! Also you've watched NCT Dream's Killing Voice, but not an individual music video, so it might be cool to check out "ISTJ" (and the track video for that album "Poison"). Also I HATE to keep throwing suggestions at you since I know you're probably so overwhelmed bc NCT is a LOT to handle trust me I GET it. BUUUUT It might also be a cool idea to have a little "solo special" for the NCT members with solo songs! Not a lot of them do which is why I thought of it! You could check out: Taeyong (127)- "Shalala" Ten (WayV) - "Birthday" Jaehyun (127 & DJJ)- "Forever Only" Mark (127 & Dream) - "Golden Hour" TLDR: WayV are amazing, Xiaojun is a vocal legend, Track Videos are a thing, albums are a must and all in all you should check out: WayV - "Phantom", "No One But You + INVINCIBLE" Track Video, "Poppin' Love" Track Video NCT 127 - "Ay-Yo", "Angel Eyes" Track Video, and "DJ" Track Video NCT Dream - "Glitch Mode" and "Poison" Track Video NCT DJJ - "Perfume" and "Kiss" Performance Video NCT U - "Universe (Let's Play Ball)", "The Bat" Archiving Video, "PADO" Archiving Video, "Kangaroo" Archiving Video, and "Alley Oop" Archiving Video Taeyong - "Shalala" en (WayV) - "Birthday" Jaehyun (127 & DJJ)- "Forever Only" Mark (127 & Dream) - "Golden Hour" I'm allergic to short and concise comments SORRY (but thank you v much for the shout out, I truly do appreciate your hard work and interest in NCT!!) Us, NCTzens, thank you!
if I was a youtuber getting into k-pop, i would hire you so fast to plan out my schedule of what i'm reacting too lmaoooo. the detail in this comment??? like i'm pretty sure you hit the nail of what every nctzen wants to see down to the solo projects. with that said... please feed me the nct dream content i should watch 😭
@@lillikaaaa Oh thank you so much lol I'm just an NCTzen with a lot of time on my hands! If you're interested in NCT Dream, then no problem! For music: - "Hello Future" - "My First and Last" - "Glitch Mode" Live Performances: "Life Is Still Going On"/"ANL" Live Content: "7llin' In The Dream" & "7llin In Our Youth" are the best series to get to know the boys better!
Hey! Of course I had to shout you out, look at all this great information you provide! It is a lot lol. All of this industry is but NCT is a lot within a lot for sure. That just makes your comments even more awesome and helpful to be honest. Thank you, as always, for your support! And yeah Xiaojun definitely stood out to me already, I feel like he had most of my favorite parts of this video lol 😆
@malaikaaaa 100%, @sweetyongf has been amazing helping me navigate and learn about NCT (that's why this video is dedicated to them!). Obviously I cover a lot more on this channel so I can't get to everything for one group right away but as long as I make sure to pay attention to these comments I know I'm going in the right direction.
Oh awesome, I’m so happy you reacted to WayV!!! Their music is always amazing✨ This song is honestly so beautiful and atmospheric and moody, chaotic, graceful AND a total banger! The lyrics are kind of hauntingly beautiful, too, telling a sorrowful story of regret. And omggg their voices??? INSANE! Side note: dude, the expression on your face during that last high note was honestly so relatable, I too, was BEYOND SHOOK. WayV are incredibly talented and have such soulful voices!
Hey! I loved how this song sort of built up as it went, instead of having the same tone throughout. It kind of felt like I was following a story and that was very cool. the difference between the lyrics/how the song started and the chorus also kept it fresh. I know it took a while to get to WayV but I'm glad I got to them for this one!
@@ChainReactionsChannelyes I love how it built up with different sounds and in the end it all came together for a pretty impactful last chorus. The elements of the song were already beautiful on their own and then swelled with emotion at the end!
Track video is similar to MV but the shorter version, they're in it doing choreo and stuff with full styling & concept but you must listen to the album if you want to hear the full song. Btw thank you for reacting to wayv! On My Youth is very different from their previous works but some of their videos I'd recommed to check out: Phantom, Diamonds Only (track video but very cool!), Moonwalk, Kick Back, Nectar (no official video but the song itself is chef's kiss)
Yay!!! So happy you reacted to this. They’re vibe is much different from 127 and Dream. You never know what your gonna get and it’s always awesome. So glad you enjoyed it! And I’ve noticed that gas station in a handful of videos lol
And thank you for the dedication. Made our day (my son Lucas is 7 and autistic and we were in a head on collision last Thursday. He’s been stuck on the couch since he got out of the icu with broken pelvis and facial fractures and when I showed him this he was so so happy. Haven’t seen him smile like that since the accident)
@@ChainReactionsChannel I’ve got a cracked sternum and a few busted rib and nose but it could have been worse. And yes Lucas is a huge wayv fan. His favorites are low low by ten and Yangyang and turn back time. He love 127 too. He watched your reactions with me most of the time.
the album is a must listen but if you just want certain songs, i recommend poppin' love and rodeo. this two stands out the most for me. rodeo is the rap line song so you might like it 😊
WayV fan and Celtics fan ..can’t beat it 👏 🙌 @Chain Reaction ..I cannot stop listening to this song ♥️ Going with my daughter to see NCT Dream at TD Garden in December at Jingle Ball , Chenle of NCT Dream is a big Golden State / Steph Curry fan, so he should have fun with all the Celtics stuff and banners around him at the Garden haha
Haha yes I'm usually something related to Boston sports teams. 😅 As long as he doesn't wear a Golden State jersey I'm sure it will all be fine lol. Thank you for sharing. And that sounds great, I hope you both have a lot of fun!
@@ChainReactionsChannel thanks , I'd actually crack up if the stylists made him wear a Celtics jersey for the event cos of where he is ..fans and all 😂 keep up the great work, really enjoy your content
I think you’ll really like the performance video, which is also the English version of this track! It’s so good, these boys can really move. Also, I agree that it’s so impactful when groups dance with the members facing in different directions. It looks wrong but feels right 😌
Haha it's different, I love the way they did it. From some angles it looked chaotic but from other angles you could tell how well it was choreographed. So cool. I'm not done with WayV! Thank you for watching.
Many talked about Xoijun vacal I barely see comment about Kun,he also doing good. About Ten I already know about that. Hendery and Yang are good in their part, Winwin also doing good. Everyone doing good in this song.Wayv and their songs are so underrated. How such a good band get less fans than other in k pop market. Is it because they are Chinese line? It's so unfair.
You're right I did talk about him more than the others, but yes they absolutely all did well! I am still learning names but I will be sure to recognize everyone in the future. I personally don't know why they might be underrated but I will make sure to show them love!
Acabo de terminar el maratón de tu playlist "NCT" gracias por la reacción y los buenos comentarios. Tal vez tambien puedas reaccionar a el grupo RIIZE, ya que dos ex miembros de NCT estan en el (Sungchan y Shotaro) Aunque no creo que me entiendas en español jajaja saludos desde Argentina 😊🇦🇷
Chain Reactions , PLEASE, PLEASE REACT TO THE OMEGA X GROUP MV SINGING “junk food”, YOU WILL LOVE IT. I WAS ACTUALLY SURPRISED THAT YOU HAVEN'T REACTED YET, SINCE YOU LEFT A FEW DAYS ALREADY. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR UNIQUE REACTION.
