After listening for the first time, the one thought in my head was: He's been working on his vocals and it shows. Tbh to me he's an example of hard work paying off. He was a decent dancer but really worked hard and is now one of the best in the group. He wasn't naturally inclined for rap like changbin or han but put his mind to it and became one of the main rappers in the group. And i tend to especially like his rap parts and deliveries in their songs. He wasn't a great vocalist but here we are now. And i think he's been working to try to make/ produce music like 3racha have been, like he's been showing more and more interest in doing it the past few albums. And of course the drawing/ painting. He started during the pandemic and we've seen in his posts how good his works have been. Hyunjin's perseverance is inspiring
Did you know that Hyunjin also composed and produced Cover Me? It seems like this song is a good surprise for you. Hyunjin's music side really deserves more recognition because he is SO GOOD! Hyunpop is also very diverse. There are songs like Cover Me and Quill Pen, but also songs like TASTE and Red Lights. I love DLMLU and Love Untold too. Not to mention So Good and the unreleased diva Mic and Brush. Hyunjin is an ace. Fun fact he is really good at musical whistling, he also did it in Long for You, a lovely little sad poetry of a song.
Hyunjin has been collecting and polishing various creative building blocks since pre-debut, and now he has a fully functional construction set to mix and match together and fit any creative whim that hits him... and you just know he isn't done yet! He is still in his leveling up phase!!
He is literally my Idol, my inspiration 🥹🥹 from someone who doesn't know abt music, dancing & singing to someone who is one of the best dancers , produces his own music and his voice getting better and better. Honestly, his voice is so sweet and soothing. I really love his voice. 🥰 He's a definition of hard work paid off. He never fails to shock me. 🥹🥹🥰🥰
I read somewhere a description of Hyungin and they described him as "a gentle Victorian poet under all that hair and attitude" and that has always stuck with me. To me it fits him perfectly
I think, by the time Hyunjin is ready to debut solo or in his new music video...He will shock a lot of people, Hyunjin seems to me as someone who doesnt mind others but keep preparing in doing his stuff, He came thru with his dancing style..I am sure soon He will come thru with his music and trust me... we wont be ready😂❤❤
Quill pen is probably the best skz record of the 2024 and the best hyunjin skz record so far as ice.cream was so special to me but this one is everything is the song I'm so into it I can't stop listening to him.
This, by far, is my favorite song! I listen on repeat! I'm learning Korean, and this is the first time I've been able to sing along with the chorus in Korean, and I LOVE IT!
Hyunjin is the guy who buy flowers grow them watching them withered he read books and poems he likes writing his lyrics are more than just poem they really have weight a heavy emotion into them that hit right into your heart is really pure and genuine. it's soft but heartbreaking deep
Hyunjin showing us what a talented and gifted singer-songwriter/composer he is. He keeps releasing exceptional solo songs. I'm very proud to see how far he's come, as an artist and performer. I will definitely say he's an ace. I hope we get more beautiful songs like Quill Pen in the future.
I've always loved Hyunjin's solo songs. I remember listening to "Miss You" for the first time and fell in love with his style, voice, and writing skills. Every one of his solos is on my playlist. Quill Pen would be too, if Amazon Music will carry it... (Edited to add: English subs that are included in the vid would be nice. I know you guys don't need them, but some of us do, lol).
This song blew me away too. It’s just so hauntingly beautiful!! The music. The vocals. The meaning. Just amazing. Very indie rock. Feels like it would fit right into a playlist that includes Cigarettes After Sex and D4vd.
I've been waiting for this reaction since the song dropped!! If you watched the kids room where they are talking about him, they all say he strive everyday to be the best at everything, he has his vocal coaches even on the road, he is really an example of hard work🥰💯💯💯 sooo proud of my boy, wayyy more than a beaitiful face 🥰🥰
during interviews hyunjin mentioned he's been working on songs and writing etc. Since debut not just these recent years but he got opportunity to show it thro gp ( as he made red light, cover me ,lovestay, DLMLU, taste ) and also skz records.. he's alr 4th producer in skz after 3racha ofc not officially in this line but he alr proved how talented he's. He's actually genius and so versatile
С момента выхода Quill Pen слушаю перед сном каждый вечер эту песню. Полностью с вами согласна, что лирика в его песнях очень личная, у меня такое ощущение, что через его песни душа Хенджина говорит с моей душой. Его метафоры и лирика как всегда невероятные. А его теплый, бархатистый, успокаивающий голос согревает как теплый плед в холодную погоду. Большое спасибо вам за реакцию на эту прекрасную, нежную, печально-лиричную песню Хенджина
you need need need to listen to "long for you" and "hey you" that hyunjin released last year in march! They were also co-written with Joha and are equally beautiful and just show how great of a writer hyunjin is 😭
The true definition of working from the bottom up/hard work pays off... just how far can Hyunjin go? The sky is the limit for him and I am amazed at how much he has improved and worked on his craft in all areas of art and music since I first knew him during God's Menu era. I'm so proud and I'm sure other stays will agree too 🥰
Really enjoyed your analysis and reaction of Hyunjin’s new song. I love Hyunjin’s voice and his lyrics and glad to see it being recognized. Quill Pen is really beautiful. My other favorites are “Long for You” and “ ice.cream”. I look forward to more songs from Hyunjin
When I listened to Quill pen I was so touched by his voice his vocals his composing skills too. This is my fav hyunjin song so far and it's stock on my mind !!
Hyunjin has become an all round incredible artist over the last few years. He makes a decision to put work and effort into things he cares about such as dance and art and writing and he shores up any perceived weak points through sheer effort and hard work and dedication, which makes him a truly phenomenal artist who has shown he can hold his own against experienced writers and producers and vocalists.
It’s crazy I’ve been listening to this over and over but listening again with you guys actually gave me goosebumps again when you reacted! I always wait for your SKZ reactions so thank you! ❤
On a Korean chart of THE vocalists for 2024, where HAN is at #6, Hyunjin is #18. They're the only members in the top 20. You surprised? I'm not, only proud AF
this is my favorite song , i just love it so much, it makew me emotional, he is such a good songwriter and composer and he keeps getting vocal lessons and he improved so much, i love how he is so passionate with his work, so inspiring ❤
Idk if u have already but u need to listen to "hey you" and "long for you" both were released this year by hyunjin Also i love how tragically beautiful Hyunjin's lyrics on love are
Also idk if u guys know but hyunjin also took part in composing cover me, dlmlu and lovestay (alongside others) And they're all such beautiful songs that are by whole skz
What I thought by the title quill pen was that, like the feather, the promises of love were light with no real weight behind them, but they (the ink) still left a stain
I love skz and prefer their more aggressive songs as a group, but I love this song. It was a favorite immediately. It really reminded me of some of François Hardy's music which I adore. Hyunjin really outdid himself on this. ❤
for the song title my interpretion is that Hyunjin imagine their relationship like a story written beautifully by a quill pen on paper. But when the other person left him, he becomes a quill pen without ink and all its left in the paper is scratches
В ответ на ваш вопрос к зрителям по поводу корейского и английского названия этой песни выскажу свои субъективные мысли. Мне кажется песня о том, что что-то могло быть, что уже прошло, а жизнь как-то размеренно продолжается. Бумага для заметок (корейское название) - это символ некоего дневника памяти, в котором сначала все больно, а со временем это уже ностальгия, рассуждения, но уже без боли, просто воспоминания. Quill pen - гусиное перо, вероятно потому, что это как запись из собственного дневника ушедших дней. Также гусиное перо может символизировать пробуждение лучшего в человеке, ясность мысли и более отчётливое видение пути. Оно помогает раскрыть скрытые таланты и способности. Возможно данный момент стал отправной точкой когда каждый понял чего хочет и пошёл собственным путём. И Хенджин нашел свой путь путем озвучивания гусиным пером на бумаге для заметок своих чувств и мыслей. Как мне кажется корейское и английское название - это как элементы одного пазла, что если ты не прячешь свои эмоции и чувства, а проговариваешь их, то человеку легче справиться с болью от расставания и восстановиться для дальнейшей жизни и возможно новых чувств и отношений Но это моя трактовка, мои домыслы и ощущения после очень долгого прослушивания данной композиции. Обожаю подобные чувственные работы! Так тонко и прекрасно исполнено.
I think having Quill Pen and Scratch Paper together is such a telling combination that really fits into the lyrics of the song. I can't speak for the artist of course, but this is what I am inferring: - Quill pens need a lot of care during use and for maintainence. You have to sharpen it often to get a point, but as a result of that it leads to wear and tear and will eventually need replacing, if it doesn't break first. The imagery of using a quill pen - as opposed to just a pen, or fountain pen, or pencil - is that it looks delicate and soft because of the feathers, but feathers are strong enough to give flight. Quill pens are also thought to symbolise sincerity. - As for scratch paper -- there are two possible meanings so I'm not sure which one Hyunjin had in mind. One common one is that scratch paper is something you'd use to write on but without the intention of keeping. Which is what is written in the first verse song: "After scribbling all over my heart // You're telling me to rip it apart if it hurts" and "The memories you said we would build, you just toss them aside and left". The other possible meaning is he meant scratch paper to be one where the content was hastily written, and typically unimportant whatever the cost of the paper it is written on. My guess (and only a guess, please) is that Hyunjin may have been likening himself to both the quill pen and paper in this relationship. Perhaps he saw himself to be like a quill pen, in that he needs or needed a lot of care and attention in the relationship. Perhaps he likened himself to be scratch paper in the relationship, as he could have felt that he was not something (or someone) to be cherished and kept. It is clear here that he's writing about being shown affection by someone who never meant to cherish their relationship or hold on to it in the first place, hence scratch paper. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps. These are just near-midnight thoughts and just my opinion. Hyunjin could definitely have been thinking of other meanings different to what I wrote! Either way, it's a sad song. Thanks for reading this long-ass comment! EDIT: had to correct some spelling mistakes :P
i wonder what inspired him to write this song could his inspiration be jisung from skzFamily lol btw pls react to solo levelling op REAWAKER- LiSa ft Felix

one of the best in kpop
I really admire that about him. He started as a blank page.
@@weiwuxian297 I love the way you worded that!
Off topic (not really), an MDZS fan and Stay??? 😭
@ indeed I am😆
He’s not one of the best dancers in the group. He’s the best dancer in the group
Did you know that Hyunjin also composed and produced Cover Me? It seems like this song is a good surprise for you. Hyunjin's music side really deserves more recognition because he is SO GOOD! Hyunpop is also very diverse. There are songs like Cover Me and Quill Pen, but also songs like TASTE and Red Lights. I love DLMLU and Love Untold too. Not to mention So Good and the unreleased diva Mic and Brush. Hyunjin is an ace. Fun fact he is really good at musical whistling, he also did it in Long for You, a lovely little sad poetry of a song.
cover me is legendary😭i love this song so much.
Yes, Long for you is so good. And Ice cream too.
Hyunjin has been collecting and polishing various creative building blocks since pre-debut, and now he has a fully functional construction set to mix and match together and fit any creative whim that hits him... and you just know he isn't done yet! He is still in his leveling up phase!!

Fr joha and hyunjin are made for each other
They were both written by Hyunjin alone,only co-composed with Joha,not co-written
I am telling this for months now
The true definition of working from the bottom up/hard work pays off... just how far can Hyunjin go? The sky is the limit for him and I am amazed at how much he has improved and worked on his craft in all areas of art and music since I first knew him during God's Menu era. I'm so proud and I'm sure other stays will agree too 🥰
I hope Hyunjin sees this reaction❤ His singing voice is so sincere and lovely on this track
Hyunjin is a good rapper, but he also knows how to be a great vocalist. He's an incredible artist

Regarding the whistle notes, Hyunjin also did the intro whistle notes for Grow Up ❤❤❤
hyunjin vocals his lyrics his composing skills everything is getting more perfect every day can't wait for his solo debut a album full of him.
Hyunjin has become an all round incredible artist over the last few years. He makes a decision to put work and effort into things he cares about such as dance and art and writing and he shores up any perceived weak points through sheer effort and hard work and dedication, which makes him a truly phenomenal artist who has shown he can hold his own against experienced writers and producers and vocalists.

Im so proud of Hyunjin getting praise from mucisians and producer like this ❤ i hope he see this
This is totally my fav side of Hyunjin's music, like miss you, Untitled, Long for you, hey you .... I love his slower, emotional songs
İ am really proud of him he just started taking vocal lessons in his busy program 🤍
Cincaaa... Hyunjin voice here is so beautiful... 😭😭😭 wooouooouw
