You don't say... it took 4 years to bring these two guys back on the channel lol. This is mainly us vibing and checking out some XG, me and PM already seen this and that video is in the description if you want to see our first reaction! Thanks for anyone who watches and leaves a like, have a good day!
Ooh, waiting for the new content with them)) will be cool if they will be in the patreon content, like kdramas and smtm episodes, will be amazing if you begin 7th season SMTM💯cuz it's really the best season I think🤞
@@asidus962 I wish, I think it would be super fun to have all these people and more watching SMTM as a group but unfortunately they live nearly an hour away and everyone has different work schedules so that much coordination won't happen :/
Cocona just turned 17, Maya is also 17 . Her and Cocona grew up together. Friends at a young age. Harvey's 19. Jurin is either 20, or turned 21 last month.
Speaking of Harvey and her switching up the flow/vibe, I thought I would share something I saw from a Japanese fan abt the order the girls went in for this cypher: There is a Japanese word "起承転結",the structures of traditional Japanese narratives. 起 introduction 承 development 転 twist 結 conclusion this cypher kinda follows that rule Once I saw this, Harvey’s placement in the video made so much more sense to me
Unfortunately, 起承转合 is a Chinese phrase, dude. BTW, Harvey is a mixed girl with Japanese and Australian blood. That makes her English so good. With her cute looking and bubbles vocals, many people love her.
All four can sing but the other three are powerhouse vocalists. And all seven of them have incredible stage presence and can dance their asses off, though I think Jurin (the leader) is insanely ridiculous in those aspects. They’re all super impressive, tbh. Hard to have just a single bias.
Yeah, I know they’re all crazy it’s just funny to see them assume only one is able to sing 🤣. They were corrected when I showed them Shooting Star and Left Right.
@@anthonytoo lol. I don’t blame them for making that assumption, to be fair. But yes those songs really showcase their vocals. Great ones to show them.
They rap in 3 languages: English, Japanese, and Korean. The switch between all 3 is so seamless and impressive. They are all Japanese but Harvey is mixed. I highly recommend watching XG TAPE #1 - CHILL BILL. It’s just Jurin and Harvey but it’s honestly so good. Harvey’s flow is different in it. It shows her better. It’s worth a listen. ❤
OMG I remember these guys when you first started kpop reactions! So good to see them and I hope they've been doing well. Can't wait to see them react to Shooting Star and Left Right.
Kudos, I usually cringe with friends brought in because the leaders can’t stop telegraphing what they think and dominating reaction… you’re a real pro. Keep it up.
No Asian cadence! That's what surprised me and it's what I've been waiting for for over 35 yrs. Kpop betrayed me when they went boy bands that...bless their hearts...butcher a beat. Not only that, the tone and cadence *cringe* ugh makes my spine wanna jump out of my body. Did I mention I'm Korean? Yeah...these four ladies...finally! Flowing from one language to another without losing those east coast cadences! Talent, gifted and skilled. I know of only four rappers that can do this and they're all on this Xypher.
It's so cool to see you guys point out what songs the beats are from and the references in the lyrics. I don't know hip hop history/slang so it's really cool to see people who are knowledgeable about that point that stuff out in XG's music. It seems like they're well-versed in hip hop history (and current) too.
I've watched this Cyhper so many time but I dont realize Maya outfit has 2 different fabrics, that details on Harvey's chocker and Jurin's Adidas outfit. This is why I love watching reaction video they always spot something I dont know about.
They all were trained by Japanese agency Avex in Japan since like the youngest at 5th or 6th grader under the 5 year project. It's more like they moved to Korea the company established for localization about a year before their debut. They did that to promote from Korea globally. The producer is a Japanese (half Korean) and were a Avex trainee himself and graduated from Japanese university (of Music).
Harvey really does look like she’s not asian haha 😂 but it’s because she’s actually japanese-australian 😌 please show them tippy toes, mascara or chill bill as well they went hard on those too 😍🙏🏻
Speaking on only COCONA on this XYPHER. Her age not being a factor. COCONA has an automatic hit voice. If she had not came up with XGALX Simon would have found this child, and I stress child, an outlet to express and hatch her GAME OF THRONES talent. Being 15 in this video makes her undeniable. COCONA was the very first if not, only girl still in elementary when the camp started. Simon even acknowledged this in EXTRA EXTRA documentary. RESPECT. PS. Sorry so long❤ I'm just HYPE over XG. ALOHAZ UNITED.
The good old day.. bring back the hommies thank you coz giving us XG content .. coz of them I’m ALPHAZ .. first time being in A Officail Fandom , that’s the power of XG
They are all versatile with dancing, singing, and rapping! Their visual let alone are out of this world! Also I believe Harvey is Australian and Japanese, the rest are Japanese too oh and also Hinata is Korean and Japanese! Maya is also fluent in English cause she attended international school in Japan!
I have to applaud y'all for the attention to detail you guys have in this reaction video whether it's the set design, wardrobe, lyrical breakdown, or whatever else you guys caught a lot shit I hadn't noticed before and i have seen this clip DOZENS of times...a day. Big props to y'all. My favorite reaction video so far. I see them like this, if they were a hit squad then Jurin is the big boss, Cocona is the lieutenant, Harvey is the siren/bait luring unsuspecting victims, and Maya is that psycho hitgirl who laughs while she offin her mark. 😂
I’ve seen so many xg reactions but you guys are are the best. I don’t know if it’s the 4 and 2 already know and keep picking up on extra stuff, but there’s no fake reactions just pure enjoyment and appreciation of talent. Love to see it 👍
Actually just want to correct that XG did not train under a Korea label, they are trained under Avex, the rumour they trained with YG, or collaborated with YG has been denied by both parties and clarified. And you can actually see from their style is very Jpop, J-hiphop.
as much as i love the visuals of this so so much theres a playlist on their channel with the test videos of all of them individually with subtitles and you can really appreciate the cleverness of all of them and their personalities
Yall can count on me watching the next video then! I think they would also like le sserafims impurities for the R & B vibes. And cmon you gotta show em B.I. BTBT please!
I showed them a good few things, if y'all like them back on the channel I'll get them to come do some more ofc and we all can continue going through these hits together for a second/third time lol
"Naega" means me in Korean So yeah it was a korean word which they used and not the n word A lot of Korean singers and Rappers use it and people who don't speak korean get the wrong idea
AWWWW YESSSS I REMEMBER THEM!!!! I always wondered why I never saw them in the videos. I remember y’all reacting to bts born singer together and how much they loved it
As soon as they got in the car, they were like "I remember that born singer one I loved that one ngl" LOL. I'm just glad some of the tunes stuck with them.
Actuallyyyy cocona IS the youngest member ! I don’t think I seen anyone else let y’all know lol but Maya and cocona are both 2005 babies, but Maya birthday is in august whereas cocona’s is in December :)) just wanted to clarify that bc it actually is insane that lil baby cocona has such a powerful force to her !!!
This was fun to watch you guys reacting to it... as American rap aficionados listening to a group that was performing a style so familiar to you. Great fun :-)
crazy seeing the four of you back together reacting, defs takes me back to some of your first reactions when we were all pretty fresh to the kpop scene hehe. flame vid as always ଘ(੭*ˊᵕˋ)੭* ੈ♡‧₊˚
6:53 I am personally a little jealous😤 of the fact I didn't get the opportunity to hear this in my 29s when I was into a ride with a BANGING system in my car.
