The Best K-pop Song of All Time 

The first time u heard this song was when we were in the in n out drive thru

This is great content, I remember how speechless I was listening to it the day it was released (like, the audacity). Thanks for giving this song the detailed analysis it deserves.

Thank you so much for this video, it's really eye (ear to be exact) opening, this will definitely kicks up my composition a few notch, thank you very much ❤️❤️❤️

such high quality content- thanks so much, I'm learning a lot from your channel!

NO WAY this is amazing! i wish to know this much about theory but harmonic analysis hard brain hurts lol (22:12 'harmonic overstimulation' sounds cool af)

this one is also awesome

Great!I did not know K-Pop was so complex

Need more people to break down the theory in kpop 😭

"the pianist got bored" 우리다시냉면

Thanks so much for making me aware of the existence of this song. The plain melody could have been done in a standard K-ballad way (i.e. BORING as hell), but all of those harmonic tricks you highlighted here (especially that pre-chorus-to-chorus modulation) make it really special. And then the style of R&B they went with is also not K-ballad standard. As you noted, more meditative, reminding me of multiple tracks from Janelle Monae's Dirty Computer album. Those two "the pianist got bored/went off the deep end" jokes were perfect, but it also highlights how much even the arrangement musicians recognized how unique the harmonies of the song were, responding in kind. I can easily imagine the recording session and the staff involved cackling hard after that take of measure 62/63.

Loved the analysis. Cool content, thx. Maybe sometimes you could play the chords on piano directly when speaking about them? Just an idea.

Hype

Absolutely amazing in-depth analysis. Love the explanations and I'm glad I subbed. Keep up the great work! Are you interested in writing for K-pop??

I love your videos but the bits in this one when the blurred background doesn't have anything on top of it made my head hurt. 😳

I don't listen to kpop. I don't know shit about music theory. I'm a drummer. Why am I here? Good question...

Can you analyze the famous artist, dj voicemail/5 ?????? Pls????

I am mad cuz this song is wayy too underrated

in your intro jingle it kinda feels to me like the shaker isn't exactly triplets but i can't quite pin it down? can u enlighten me pls

Lol

K-pop? What do you mean? K-pop doesn't exist...
