REACTING TO NCT 127 DANCE PRACTICES PT.2 (Kick It, Lemonade, Sticker, and Favorite (Vampire) 

many people said "sticker" is nct 127's flop era. but that song and the album gets them a daesang (grand prize) at the seoul music awards and a bonsang (main award) for the first time in their career

Dude, to appreciate Sticker you should watch the recording of this song. Sticker has so many amazing ad-libs, it's impossible not notice them once you know they're there. It's so good. Taeil really shone in this song. What I like too is the instrumental's rawness, it seems strange but it shows the vocals very clearly. This song was absolutely made for the vocals.

23:55 the producer of sticker is actually the same person who made kick it and ay-yo LMAO demjointz is just versatile like that 😂 can’t wait for the album reaction btw

There's an Halloween version of "Favorite"" 😂 you gotta see SpiderMark and Doyoung dancing without an arm bro

sticker is one of my favorite songs ever lmao it's so iconic that most people that are into kpop know it

just fyi, when he was a trainee Taeyong was the trainee who was scolded the most even his dance coach said Taeyong would not be able to debut. Because he is training to become a leader, his grades must be above the average of other trainees (dance, rap, and acting). In fact many former SM trainees and training staff said that if other trainees got a score of 100 points, Taeyong should get 101 points. If other trainees don't do well during the assessment they will be scolded in closed places such as the practice room and special counseling room for trainees, while Taeyong will be called to a place where people will see him being scolded to the bone

42 minutes of NCT?? Oh we are being blessed😮‍💨💚

The "Favorite (Vampire)" dance practice was filmed in the same dance studio as "Lemonade" and "Sticker." The room is just so big that they can film in different angles and different parts of the room. Plus, those windows have screens that can be closed or opened depending on whether they want to be able to see out the window or to change the lighting or mood of the video, etc. Therefore, sometimes they have the screens closed to cover the windows and sometimes they are open. Almost all of SM's dance practice videos are filmed in the same dance studio. "Kick It" was filmed in SM's iconic gold door dance studio at their old SMTown building where almost all of SM's dance practice videos were filmed between 2015-2021. (FYI: Before SM built their large practice studio, as you have seen with a few of EXO's older dance practices, they used to film and practice in much smaller dance practice rooms that had an iconic cloud screen that they would use as a backdrop to cover windows and mirrors while filming, which has also become a signature symbol of SM.) SM moved to its new state-of-the -art building, which is named Kwangya, in 2021. Unlike most dance studios, which are often in the basement of buildings, SM's new studio is on one of it's upper floors so the windows overlook the city of Seoul, South Korea. As you noticed, you can see they have an amazing view with the backdrop of skyscrapers outside the windows. SM's dance studios are iconic, everyone who knows SM, knows the minute they see the room in the video that it's an SM group. For example, SM's old SMTown building is now rented or owned by a different Kpop company and it's surreal to see that company's dance practice videos, because they film in the same dance practice studio and the room looks exactly the same as when SM owned it. But that's not just SM dance practices, it's the same for a lot of Kpop companies. If you watch dance practices for groups from other companies you will start to recognize their videos because of the room they are in. For example, JYP Entertainment has an iconic dance studio that is bright red and the lights on the ceiling say JYP. YG Entertainment's iconic dance studio is dark grey and black and has a specific look and feel to it in their dance practice videos, etc. My point is that, when they film a dance practice video it's not just a random dance studio most of time, they are designed specifically for filming in and it's where all of the company's practices are filmed.

STOP THE STICKER SLANDER. She’s iconic 😂

I love Sticker, but I always find your Sticker-slander so so so funny. The truly hilarious thing is that when the members first listened to it, Taeyong was really hyped and loved the song, the rest of the members were scared, because it was so difficult (especially for the vocalists). They kept telling us before the comeback how this time they were about to do something completely new, and they were pretty nervous about it. Then they won so many awards with it, even the grand prize (Daesang, Doyoung even cried on stage). And to make it even more entertaining, Lemonade was on the same album, just a b side. People who hated on Sticker kept posting about how Lemonade should have been the title track instead. Lemonade. The song that is about how 127 could not care less about haters and would never change the way they are for anybody. This adds to the irony. Don't get me wrong, I know you are not hating on them, it is completely fine to dislike some of their songs. I just find it funny how big of a deal Sticker was and how you always bring it up. Even people who don't like it talk about it all the time.

4:26 LOL SAME. I don’t understand how you can watch a NCT dance practice and not come out being like holy shit Taeyong how? Mark is the other one that gets me the most, boy is snappy as hell and has such good groove.

You should react to their Mafia Dance game, both Taeyong and Haechan danced nearly perfectly to the wrong music and won the game, it was super impressive !! Nct’s dance skills are top tier

There's an Halloween version of "Favorite"" 😂 it's soo good

'Sticker' is the hood track of all of NCT. Rhythmically Dem Jointz has reproduced an era gone by of nikka night... a night of chaos at the club/basement party. From the moment you leave your house, hook up with friends, have a stand off, sparks flying with the one you want for the night... it is a time capsule of the culture. He did it using instrumentation out of left field. 'Sticker' is a life that's been lived... when I hear it, the nostalgia of youth. Pick any city in the 90's... this track is your 'West Side Story.' They didn't need lyrics for that track, that's how impactful the composition is. Great reaction, they are well trained dancers, a crew.

Hope you can check NCT 127 sit down and skyscrapper

QUEEN STICKER

I can see how in NCT-127's "Favorite (Vampire)" choreography that move could sort of look like they are making a heart -- after all, they say "I love you (in Korean), girl you're my favorite" in the lyrics when they make that move -- but I think what they are doing is tracing the outline of the curves of a woman's body. (The woman has an hourglass-shaped figure, i.e. like the number 8, which is why they make a circle move on top and then continue the same move down lower.) "Favorite (Vampire)" is about being in love with the intoxicating power of a lover. Therefore, they're not robots, but they are under the power of the woman who is controlling them. You really need to look up the lyrics to the song. :D Yet again, the dance moves are part of the song, so if you understand the meaning of the song, it might make it easier to see the pictures they are making with the dance. Like everything NCT does, it's all based on their dream concept. Hence, why in the MV they are vampires and why you see them sleeping in the beginning and end of the MV. Jaehyun was bit by the vampire, which is the girl they sing about and she is the one that turned them all into vampires. It's the intoxicating power of the vampire girl/butterflies that has enchanted them, which is why they say "girl you're my favorite" in the lyrics. They are beguiled by her powers, which has them devoted to her. This is also why you see them with supernatural vampire abilities in the MV, like when they flash in and out as they transition between the members. (Often in romantic vampire stories they say the vampires have a shimmering effect.) That's why they focused on Yuta's eyes changing as he transitioned from being human to being a vampire, and why you saw the members become pale and less full of life as the MV went on. Vampires often also have magical powers or are able to control things with their minds, so that is why you saw the rose petals and the smoke trails because they were manifesting them as they were overcome by the passion for their "favorite vampire", etc. They're all beautiful vampires like Edward and Bella from the Twilight Series, not vampires like Count Dracula who wear a cape and sleep in a coffin, etc. This whole MV was all about becoming a vampire. The butterfly is thought to represent the woman or vampire they are talking about in the song -- instead of turning into a bat, maybe she turns into a butterfly -- which is why you see the butterfly touching their hearts. (In the beginning of the MV you see Taeyong open his mouth and the butterfly flies down his throat on its way to his heart.) You also will see a butterfly appear in several of SM Entertainment's other groups' MVs, which is often used as a metaphor to represent a woman -- possibly representing a connection to the heart of the Tree of Life from EXO's storyline -- in each of the MVs, as a way to connect all of SM's storylines together. For example, in aespa's storyline starting in 2020 Ningning's symbol is a butterfly, which is thought to possibly be connected to the butterfly we see in EXO's debut "Mama" MVs from 2012, and it's even thought, could be connected to the butterflies in SHINee's "Ring Ding Dong" MV from 2009. It also could be the butterfly that helps aespa navigate through Kwangya in aespa's "ep. 2 'Next Level' -- SM Culture Universe" video, which would explain why we see a similar white butterfly in a lot of SM's storylines. The butterfly appears to help everyone as they travel through Kwangya. (Everything SM does has to do with Kwangya -- even SM's new building where everything is created and produced is called Kwangya. Kwangya is the name SM has created for the metaverse that all of SM's groups' and artists' concepts, and most of their MV storylines revolve around.) Some say the "girl" or "love interest" that EXO -- and possibly now the rest of SM's groups -- is always singing about and you sometimes see in their MVs is a manifestation of the heart of the Tree of Life and that is why they are always rescuing or protecting the girl, etc. And why all their songs are about being in love with someone or being controlled by the power of that person, like they talk about in "Favorite (Vampire)." Or how they talk about knowing they are bad news for the girl but they want her anyway and they can't help it, but in the end, they know they might destroy her -- as they say in EXO's "Monster" lyrics, etc., etc. When you think of the girl as the heart of the Tree of Life the storyline and connections between the groups begins to unfold even more.

I love all the things you notice in your reactions 👏😊 I think the shape they're making with their arms in Favorite is the shape of a woman's body? It has been such a wonderful journey watching Yuta develop his dance style. He worked so hard to make it look effortless.

Hey I have a couple videos to recommend! So first it’s gonna be NCT 127 school, this is the video where Johnny was acting with that mirror in class. Another video is “the next neo model” this is 127 and they pretty much have to like make these outfits out of tacky clothes and they’re acting like professional models😭 Johnny and jungwoo are the judges which makes it funnier lol. Last but not least a series called “awsas” so since there’s so many members in nct they created this show to pair up 2 members who barley interact with each other to come over the awkwardness, however there’s two members who were pairs in the previous episode telling them what to do and say to each other in the back with like a mic and earbud to make it funny, I also really like the nct 2018 Halloween video

i appreciate your honesty talking about sticker lol

You should definitely react to smduk videos of them recording the songs, its so crazy to hear their raw vocals

I just watched the SM town concert in Tokyo Dome yesterday n my fav grp performance was Nct127!!! You cld check out Nct 127 full concert on youtube...their first is the Origin...the Link is d next one n d latest the Unity...electrifying!!!

Fun fact is that 80% of NCTzens hated Sticker when it was released.... But it got the boys a daesang and a bonsang, and also NCTzens always request the song in concerts😄 We just want to vibe with the queen let's be honest 🥲 It is almost acapella with very little background music, so it shows the boys' talent very well and a difficult sing, ilichil finds it difficult to sing it as well 🥲 Anyways, Sticker will always be the 'Queen' in 127zens' heart 💚

You did favorite... yay.. i love it🎉. Next miracle by wayv.. both mv and dance practices. Its an all English song btw. Also Ten's nightwalker dance practice is out. 😊

Seated for the Fact Check album!! 🐒

36:41 LOLLLLL omg your face hahaaha. We love the long videos, don't worry about it!

26:29 yes! put some respect on Yuta's name! Everyone obviously always mentions Mark and Taeyong for their dancing (and rap) but Yuta is always killing it. He's so smooth and always so light on his feet.

STICKER IN CONCERT IS FIRE BROO

You bop your head way too much to hate Sticker as much as you say you hate Sticker 😂 Stick around Ncity for a while, eventually that freaking flute just scratches your brain in the best ways.

I love sticker it’s the flute I don’t like but the flute is iconic I won’t lie it helped me learn that they are experimental I love how nct keeps me on my toes. But the album is better than the actual title track.

Jaehyun is definition of sexy voice✨👍

NEXT PLEASE REACT NCT NATION CONCERT all NCT units there

Plz check 127 and dream relay dances ...its so much fun and you get to see members interactions and each one gets some solo time

Loved your reaction! Would love an NCT 127 album reaction and hope you continue to check out more of their b-sides, dances, and other content. Also, I REALLY hope you'll check out more Taeyong songs, dances, and content. He has some cool teasers that just came out for his new album TAP, which drops in like three days. Thanks!

you should definitely watch the uncut dance practices where you can see their process of learning the dances

I hope that in the future you react to their albums 😄

Taeyong and Mark are the main dancer of NCT 127. But I also love Haechan's dance skill. He's so smooth 👌 NCT 127 choreos are always 🔥🔥🔥

LMAO POOR STICKER 🤣 my crazy ass Czennie still flinched when I heard the intro tho the song keep repeating in my head

No way I’m beyond love the way you suddenly switch topics during the video. HELLO Your expression at this moments, your accent and just your talks and hall situation I’m crying how I love it😂😂😂😂😂 If we knew each other personally I would die laughing 😂❤😂❤😂😂❤😂😂 Please never stop talking if you want It’s one of my favorite things about your videos

sjdjsjfds i'm always gonna love sticker

U ranting abt kpop haters is wat how most us go through😅 n Lemonade is a diss song abt Nct127 haters😅

sticker is THE song

nct is one of those group you have to watch the dance practices more than once because you want to appreciate each members' dancing 😭

Favorite is so epic

you were so right on your rant bro

please check out favourite (vampire) with halloween costume. it's pretty funny but really amazing

If you want to check the full album you should watch in lyric video to know who was singing, fighting You should check from neozone, sticker, 2baddies and fact check albumm

neocity legend of legend nct127 neocity growth and completion nct dream neocity a new beginning and wish nct wish thks for your reaction wellcome to neocity💚

u should check out their recording behind the scene too bro🥺

16:56 lol not at all, and funny that you're calling out haters during Lemonade, since that's a song calling out the NCT haters, especially the ones calling NCT songs "noise music" or "pots and pans music" and that's why you heard some of their past title tracks in there like Firetruck, Cherry bomb, Punch, Regular.

A coreografia de stikear é muito boa

36:42 I’M DYING🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I know you're checking out a few groups rn but when you get time could you check out &team? Their concept is wearwolves and their storyline is connected to enhypen (idk if you've listened to them or not but they're a pretty popular group so most people know of them) but their songs are really good and their choreo is insane so if you do check them out i highly recommend their dance practices. I would say check out war cry (their most recent release), firework, road not taken, under the skin (their debut song), and dropkick!

Wait😭 Why do I feel like you're younger than me? Love your reactions ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ᵇᵗʷ❤

Talking about talent, lately I saw a video that reviewed 'Does Haechan deserve to be a vocalist?' they said haechan didn't have the talent to be a vocalist and i was very upset

Nct b-sides plaese

💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

Reaction to nct 127 and dream dance practice halloween pleasee
