Making Nct Dream a fixed unit was SM's best decision. I still remember how ugly I cried when Mark graduated. XD

I'm latina and I can say that this song embodies a perfect amount of latin influence. It's not offensive nor stereotypical in any way. The amount of guitar is perfect and they didn't throw random spanish words BUT the part that you mentioned saying that is unique, it's actually a spanish phrase. It says "Menea para abajo", "menear" is a dance move we do when dancing to regguetón or stuff like that, let's call it twerk but is not actually twerking, its weird to describe.
Anyway, as a latina I LOVE this song and it's a great way to combine k-pop and latin sounds. I've talk with other latin friends and they also love it, so I guess Dream did a pretty decent job with this one. 💚
Ps. As I mentioned, I'm latina, borned and raised in Panama, therefore English is not my first language. Sorry if there is any typo or grammatical error :(
ohh that's good to hear, ngl when hot sauce was first released i was kind of scared a bit lol
yes i'm also latina and i can agree with your comment! it was actually really fun to see how they incorporated the latino influence.
I dont know if this happen to you, but when i hear "menea para abajo" i remember chacarron, that is not bad, that makes more special the song to me
@@magdasilva1214 for me, it reminds me of La Bomba, the parts that says "Suavecito para abajo, para abajo, para abajo" idk why, it doesn't even match but that's what it reminds me😭🤣
@@magdasilva1214 ik you weren’t responding to me, but that’s exactly what i thought of as well! even my mom said that when i showed her the mv.
Hi PD I'm Latino from Latinamerica and since you asked here's my imput: i think NCT Dream made a great Latin kpop song. Latin pop has all those elements: 1. spanish guitars and percusions (which are normal to any latin genre, from Bachata to Cuban "Son" to Southamerican Creole music, etc.), 2. the mumbling during the chorus is typical of reggaeton and im 99% sure that says "Menea pa' abajo" which is "shake it down low" in Spanish, also very common as an ad lib in reggaeton and Merengue. 3. The chants that NCT usually shout fits very well with this genre because latin pop music is usually party music and finally 4. the concept: is a Mexican taquería very familiar to latinamerican audiences (not every country has taquerías but local restaurants and markets are like that all over latam) and the chilly peppers (Capsicum Genus) used to make hot sauce are native to latinamerica, so it doesn't get more latino than that lol. I think they got the rythm very well and of course added the dubstep and hip hop elements typical of kpop. Great reaction, love your channel :D
adding to the latin influence, the bgm at the beginning and during the chorus is actually saying "menea para abajo" which translates to "shake it down"
Huh, that's interesting, I just thought it was some gibberish, but this is way better!
Menea para abajo, necesito confirmar eso con el productor, jajaja. Amo. We love it, they slay it.
Spanish is my native tongue and i had absolutely no clue of this wHAT
Whatttttt omg thats so cool, thank you for this explanation!
to me it sounds super similar to an old song called chacarron its so funny 😂 and its all actual gibberish
"Hot Sauce" was advertised as having an Afrobeat influence, and almost all of the people working on the music were from countries other than South Korea (and some of which actually have had experience composing Afrobeat music).
Doesn't Block B Should We Dance also have Afro Beat influence right ?
the afrobeat was so prominent i loooove it
I believe the producers are african
SM needs to sell the hot sauce. I’ll buy 100 bottles, no questions asked
Love spicy so i would attempt to purchase it as well
Fact
YUPP too bad it was only ketchup 😓
@@onyourm_ark271 hell if they sold ketchup in that hot sauce bottle id still buy it
@@jazzyk02 I definitely would as well but they sadly threw them all away 😭
and the shouting is what people are finding annoying and that the song is weird and i get it, but if you've stuck around with most NCT's discography in general there's a high chance you will like this...for some of us people who are not professional producers and not familiar with mixing or sounds they would not appreciate it at all but from a kpop fan point of view, NCT definitely brings unique sounds to kpop i don't even need to argue in this point of view.
For real, they all look gorgeous but Jeno and Renjun are just straight up stunning
i think, nct dream world domination. they are getting so well promoted this comeback, and they deserve it.
WOAH... Am I dreaming? SM music videos with FULL AUDIO in PD’s videos?!
Yes. Im Shocked too. Good thing right
Everyone's era but Jeno slapped hard.
Couldn’t say it better myself. Renjun too.
@@Redorgreenful Yes omg 🤧✊🏻
There's also a lot of afrobeat influences here which blends often with latin music. I don't know the name of their collective, but a group of Zimbabwean producers helped work on this, one of their names being Philip Kembo. I love this song so much, it's also perfectly mature, but fun for Dream's style. The album is fantastic as well.
I know what you mean 'fun'. Kpop these day often goes for something fierce/strong/serious concept (which I obviously don't mind) and rarely pushes any mindlessly fun concept anymore. Last time I got this feeling was from Orange Caramel song which was long time ago.
Have you tried seventeen yet? I personally think theirs are pretty fun. Obviously, since i'm a fan, my judgement might be blurred, but🌝 you could check them out if you want hehe
@@tellatale9897 i think what they mean is fun in crazy/wacky way that made you think "wtf is going on" when listening the song or watching the mv. I agree svt is fun too but not in wacky/absurd way.
seriously. That's why i love nct, bts and Twice so much. their comebacks are always so fun and refreshing
the prechorus sounds so good. the chorus is so addictive. the dance break is so cool. a perfect combo for a song
jeno didnt have many lines but he ate that shit up‼️
The arrangers and composers are American, Swedish, Nigerian, from Zimbabwe and the Bahamas so the song has EDM, Afro-pop and Caribbean influences. That guitar in the background sounds like a Spanish guitar
*Also Mexico is Latin (Latin America)
Thank You!
Thanks I was curious!
I was already a massive fan, but this comeback turned me into an air conditioner!!!
took me a good 3 seconds to get the pun
@@ncteumaja 😉
Lmao
im a jet engine
I'm Mexican, I think definitely they went neutral for the sets and the sound: it's latino influence. I reeeeeeally like the way they design the "taco shop" we call it taqueria and actually is more like a fusion between that and a lonchería (it's a very Mexican thing and I think in other latino countries have that correct me if I'm wrong)
The "house/street/ set it's on poooooint and the thing they are saying in the chorus is 11:16 is "y que menea pa' abajo" that is kinda hard to translate but it's like "dropping it low" or "shake it down" like someone said in another comment and it's a real expression so definitely it's on point and the only thing that it's not accurate is the food. The tacos (they are soft and the weird thing they do in Taco Bell) and the hotdogs but in general it's accurate.
And at least to me it's not being stereotypical or offensive in any way. And de sauce maybe the got the inspo for the famous CHOLULA and that's as Mexican as my ass. it's from a state called Jalisco from a city with the same name.
Yeah, I’m from Mexico and the font in the taqueria is SO ON POINT, however horrible some things in that menu are 😂... but it gave me more like east la vibes tbh... like Chenles outfit just screams Romeo + Juliet
Dude I just noticed that is said "menea para abajo". I just thought it was gibrish at first until I read your comment
Nah, actually this MV is racist.
@@ztefanlord wtf how
@@dolphincultmember1911 Korean bound to know about Mexico, since Mexico is one of the 7 countries that consumes the most Kpop in the world. This MV is just the classical Hollywood cliché.
as a mexican born and raised in here, i could say that is totally creative the fusion that they went for like pd said, it doesn't sounds repetitive, the background and props they used in the mv are totally valid and not offensive in anyway to our culture, they kinda take inspiration in their own way and represented the latin vibe pretty good. also they used the 'taqueria' background and a house too in a very accurate way as an inspo cuz is the most common thing to ever see a taco shop or a house in that such a way as it show in the mv like here in mexico.
and the part of the chorus that maybe many ppl still doesn't notice is in spanish and im sure many comments in this section already explained the meaning but yes it says "menea para abajo y q menea para abajo" on loop wich means a way of dancing or more exactly like 'shake it down' 'shake it low'
the guys are doing great on this cb, please keep streaming and supporting them to make the boys get their 1st win as 7 members!!
eng is not my first language, sorry beforehand
hi im latinx and i can say that this song really has this authentic latin vibe that at least for me it isn't disrespectful in any way, even more, i would say this song would easily fit with other latin songs that i hear on the radio in my country. also i love the menea para abajo part, it's just so fun like the rest of the song:)
for me as a latin person I was really surprise and happy with the latin influence. And mexico is a latin country so yeah you can say that it has a mexican vibe because of the foods in the MV! Anyway I loved the song really happy that you loved it too!!!
The shouting or chanting is something I love from NCT. I think when other groups cover nct, that’s the one thing they always miss and it makes the song sound awkward. Idk the chanting is a little weird but unique to nct and that’s why I love it
From interviews, NCT Dream has said this has Afrobeat influence, which does heavily influence Latin and Caribbean music. I wouldn't say the song is particularly "Mexican," but the set is a taqueria (as you said, a taco shop) and they are a lot of Spanish words seen in the video
personally, i felt the latin influence from the very beginning. as a latina, i identified quickly it would have such base, because of the "menea para abajo" that was actually shown in the teasers, a phrase commonly used in reggaeton (latin genre).
in addition, i loved how they blended latin guitars with afrobeat rhythms and they even brought zimbabwean producers to work on the song.
overall, im obsessed with how they balanced each genre and made such a good song! as an nctzen, seeing my faves sing songs inspired in my native genres in non-stereotypical ways feels truly amazing
gotta say as a latinazen this song really does it for me ! the afrobeat blends so well with the latin pop imo like i don't know what i expected when they announced it like that but I'm very happy with it !!
anyway im having a ball!!! renjun looks so good
I feel like only NCT dream can do this sound. Like the fun is just NCT Dream. I feel like the more mature is WayV and then the typical kpop is a bit of Nct 127. And the dancing, OMG the dance of the chorus, the slow down of the song with the move and the "bowl mixing" part, ugh just GOLD. Definetly this song is gonna be stuck in my head and played for the summer.
This is a cultural reset for dream. The perfect blend of zany, youthful, mature, and cool. Their also the only unit/ artists that can pull of this sound so I hope they progress with something similar
The Dreamies said they recorded the chorus both slowed down and sped up
dream is completely killing it this comeback! the entire album is incredible, they're vocally stunning and look great! as a fan of theirs from the start and through the whole graduation concept, they always had potential that SM was keeping them from reaching and it makes me a little emotional to see them doing the dang thing and breaking all these records :,) they deserve it so much
I remembered that PD has mentioned in the reaction for NCT127 Punch that NCT has a signature of shouting singing in their songs. When Hot sauce released, I just recalled that PD has said this, and I am freaking loving it!
BTW, maybe it is just me as fan for NCT, but this whole dream album is fabulous, I love every song in it. I couldn’t even decide which one is my favorite! I just keep looping the whole album since it released. I almost cried when I first listened the whole album because the quality is unbelievable, and it took so long for Dream to get here and I literally feel that they have grown so much. I really love them.
This is definitely latin influenced, I'm latina, I'm argentinian, and this feels great for me, I loved it!!. Also, at the beginning there's a part in spanish that says "menea para abajo, menea para abajo" wich means "shake it down" !
FOR REAL?
@@Macarena2300 yesss
@@atothezq7361 omggggg literally im a latina and i didn't realized!!!! so cool
@@Macarena2300 Al comienzo pensé que era solo mí parecer, pero luego busque la letra y dice eso!
@@atothezq7361 AYYYY no lo puedo creer, que divertido, sabrán lo que dice? JAJAJAJA
THE ALBUM IS BEAUTIFUL 🤧🤧🤧
Hot sauce is AMAZING. The song is soooo NCT yet so NCT Dream at the same time. Also Jeno looks like a whole Prince Eric wtheck
The whole album is awesome, DREAM just flexing on their first full album
the high pitched shouting isn't because of editing but Haechan lol we can hear his voice REALLY clearly and it seems like they layered it multiple times
Renjun looks SO. FUCKING. GOOD. in this comeback.
As an Argentinian, I was really surprised with the Latin influence and I really love it. They did great!
pd i had the video open in another tab in preparation for the audio having to be muted lol it’s nice to hear the audio from your video for the first time in a while!
same here xd
Yeah.. I was surprised to hear the full mv with audio on form of therapy...
I had the song embedded in me HAHAHAHAH
they said they forgot to mute the video lmao but surprisingly SM didn't block it
this whole comeback is a success. with them being altogether as seven again, i’m so proud and happy for them! :”)
YO DREAM .... 7DREAM is back and they killed it 💚
The mv itself reminded me of suju house party. And I loved chenle's use of his lower register, renjun and jisung harmony, jeno's iconic geolla my dish, haechans high note, and marks intro rap
as a latin person, it is very latin influenced! especially the vocal parts and the pre-chorus. but even though it is very influenced it doesn't sound like a regular latin influenced song, which is what i think makes it stand out so much. it's not like anything you usually hear from latin inspired songs in kpop
Once the boys said that they really worked hard for the "shouting" part, they really did it in many ways (notes) and the high one, even Jeno said it hurts his throat so much... BUT, the result is FANTASTIC, right?
thank you for reacting 💚
If PD says it’s amazing, it’s amazing. I’m always so interested to hear your thoughts because it enhances my own understanding of songs.
It’s not my usual go to song, but it’s def got a hook I can’t forget and that’s saying something. Also Renjun’s hair makes it look like it’s made for him :)
The whole album is awesome, the music video is amazing, the vocals are great and the dance 10/10!!!
Lmao Even PD calls renjun renJUN nana’s proud
i didn’t expect dream to come back with this type of sound but at the same time i did (??) also !! the latin hiphop concept ? HELL YES !
PD called it when he said in STAYC's ASAP that kpop is shifting towards creating tik tok like addicting choreo and chorus. this is all over tik tok
pd uses they/them pronouns
I moved to Texas when I was a just a year old, so I unfortunately don't know a whole lot about Latin and/or Hispanic culture but!! I genuinely do feel that Dream appreciated our culture and music rather than appropriated it (not that other groups do! BTS, for example, popped the hell off with Airplane pt 2). It's honestly incredible how k-pop just their own flare on Latin and Hispanic music while still being respectful. In terms of NCT Dream, yeah, there were some stereotypes, like hot sauce and spicy food, but they weren't glorified in a way that made it the entire theme, if that makes sense? They just used it a metaphor of love, which is creative as shit. Mad respect for that.
Not only the song, but the choreo goes HARD. The guitar, drums, kick, it all radiates the Hispanic vibes while still keeping it Korean, and more specifically NCT. The frantic movement in the chorus alone is so addicting to watch, it just makes you wanna dance along too. It really shows just how powerful our music can be. Hot Sauce SOTY material, this is not up for debate. 😌
As a latina, I really love this song. The Latin influence is super clear in the pre chorus, I just love it 💚 Thanks Dreamies!
2:08 *ooough renjun’s hair*
YESSIR! 👌
I am making a song as an assignment at school and tbh I was amazed when I listen to hot sauce teaser, cuz latin just suddenly came out of nowhere. I even have problem with mixing piano with violins or guitar in my song and they just have Afrobeat with latin together in one song. THAT IS VERY HARD YALL. one mistake then the song will sound really awkward, so praised to the music writers and nct 🙏
and tbh, the beat is really unique, I don't know what kind of instrument they use to make that.
aah hot sauce is the song that I was really surprised with dreamies, it is so nice, so unique, def a big step from dreamies uwu
The fact that NEO CULTURE TECHNOLOGY is the name of the group, that doesnt mean they want to add some twist to their music by adding latin influence, by which NCT is Culture-friendly kpop music
HOT SAUCE
Song of the Year
Album of the Year
facts
I'm from Brazil and I can say that ther's nothing offensive about dreamies mv, the only problem is it ends too soon!
I love this comeback, LOVE IT
the song is very fun and as a Latina I definitely feel the vibe. Not only in the mv but the choreography as well
The whole album was so good
Okay so as a Mexican I was very surprised with this concept and song. When I first heard the title "Hot Sauce" I honestly had nothing on mind since it's kinda weird lol but it is definitely related with the Mexican concept since most Mexicans love spicy food and it's a big part of our culture (even for those of us who can't really eat spicy food). Now the video is placed in a taquería (so yup technically a taco shop) as for the food Mark served...well you won't find that in a taquería in Mexico but it's fine, nothing too scandalous. There's also a part in the music video where Jisung is placing a box and right before we get to the hot sauce metorite you can see like a town background and idk the houses have a really Mexican feel to it. Then when the hot sauce metorite landed and we had Jeno and Mark in a desert as a background I liked the cacti detail but I would've liked it more if the cacti shown would've been either more species of cacti or the most representative one which is "Nopal" which is in our flag (we also eat it and it's delicious). Going back to the hot sauce Mexicans rather eat homemade hot sauces which is what you would find at a taquería but I'll let it go since bottled hot sauces are also wildly popular. That's it for the video.
As for the song... I think the song has a more Latin vibe to it than a Mexican one. Just to be precise for me there's a lot of Latin music that doesn't have borders across Latin America and there's also some regional music which is only found in a certain country. The latin sounds in the song are found in Mexican music but also (and maybe have their origin) in other Latin American countries. Latin music is quite rythmic and that's the element most kpop songs tend to go for when having a latin concept but I like that this song didn't only go that way adding some other interesting elements. The beginning sample which is also part of the drop in the chorus is someone saying something is spanish. On the second part of the first verse and specially throughout the pre-chorus the instrumentation with an acoustic guitar but just the whole feel of that section is very latin influenced.
Anyways... that's all I could figure out by just looking at the video and listening to the song. In my opinion it's done well with very minor details that are easy to overlook and well the song is a bop too.
I really love this title song, it kinda gives off a despacito vibe, I'm all for that summer vibe since we get a bit more sun these days!
Congrats that video got up and didn't get blocked!
thats my favorite part of the song too! i love how wacky the video was, the transitions made it flow really well, it was just constantly moving from one scene to the other i love it so much ALSO renjun & jeno look stunning u r absolutely correct ALSO center haechan & the way he sang “babe” .. he really got me hELP SKJDKSKKSS loved ur reaction PD, thank u for this!!
I don’t know what that little “debbebsbebededed” noise thingy is in the background but I LOVE IT and it made the song so unique
Look, latina people saying this is fire just settles that this is fire. I'm actually so happy the community this song is influenced by/from finds the song nice and respectful. They did a good job with this one it sounds like and that just brings me so much joy.
Hi mexican here!!
tbh i don't listen to mexican/hispanic music a lot, but hot sauce sounds like a song i would hear walking in the streets, specially Jeno's verse and of course the "menea para abajo" part, like played in stores and such, I feel like it really portraits the latin vibe in a good way
menea para abajo y menea para abajo this song SLAPS
We watched NCT's mv before it gets blocked, yeeey
Congrats for not being blocked!
In the pre-chorus where Jeno says "pick ma dish", I think the beat sounds a bit similar to Busta Rhymes - "Touch it." I'm not sure if this is the song you recalled listening to in high school. Love your videos!!!
as a dominican, the best way i could describe this song as urban latino. if i went down the street from my house, id hear this time of beating blasting out of someones house, or booming from someones car. its not stereotypical latino inspired, and i LOVE it
ngl i was hella shocked when you played the video and there was music LMAOOO
I like this song because of Jeno's lines !!!
as a Mexican/peruvian American I really enjoyed this song, it made me happy to see the latin influence like the menea para abajo part in the beginning
can't wait for this listening party on patreon!! this album is SO GOOD
it's latin influenced with an afrobeat sound
Making something completely new and fresh is the NCT
i've been waiting for this one TURN IT UPPPPPPP
This song have a lot of Afro beat influence, and also was composed by African people, that’s why it sounds like that ;p
I just listened to Hot Sauce and you uploaded. Wow the sync
The production on this is straight fire 🔥 I love the song a lot
This song is so good, and rainbow bside on their album is sooo amazing its my fav
WAIT WAIT WAIT...PD, PD, PD have you NEVER heard or reacted to NCT Dream "GO"...you have to check it out, it has a strong EDM influence! And its amazing!
it's really a miracle that SM didn't block this reaction lmao
Thank you for the reaction PD so proud of dreamies
I'm so glad you love this song!
Talking about the music video, I really like the settings, mainly the one where they are in the street. It's not stereotypical but it really seems like any other street I'd find here in Brazil, so to me they nailed that!
ALBUM LISTENING PARTY!!! 💚
This is my first time watching one of your vids through headphones maybe? Your voice is so nice like ASMR
ahhhh would u do a listening party? the album is one if my fav nct albums ever!
enjoyed it! thank you so much 💚
Please do have a listening party for this album!! I was honestly amazed by all the songs!!
happy to see this reaction, especially with audio! this song is so fun and addictive. if you’re able to, i would love to hear PD’s thoughts on the whole album-it’s a really cohesive listening experience ♡
Since we are not used to this type of sound from them, this was strangely amazing and the more you listen to it the more addictive it becomes!
will you listen to the whole album?? 👁
Thank god SM didn't block this reaction video.
I'm so glad you liked it! probably because the chorus so odd-sounding, but this particular song has very split opinions, and I'm happy it worked for you.
Also, I can't say for sure, but I'm pretty sure the chorus shouting wasn't pitched up at all, it's just mostly Haechan with his naturally high voice haha.
i’m so excited omg
I really enjoy your videos because the set makes me feel comfy for some reason
the only reaction youtuber i value
