Label V is SM agency in China, WayV has been debuted for China market so they sing in Chinese. And you hardly see them in NCT official except NCT 2020. Thank you for paying attention to WayV.
Most of the members in wayV are present in nct u/127 comebacks like 90s love and work it and Lucas and ten who are in most ncts videos and so on. you should include that, they’re not “hardly seen In nct.”
One thing I think nobody has mentioned before is that NCT (Neo Culture Technology) has a storyline that interconnects all the units. We still don't understand it completely but there's some easter eggs in every MV. WayV that means "We Are The Vision" has a storyline related to time travel and space. Dream is literally that, the dream world and NCT 127 is related to experiments about consciousness and "waking up". There's actually a series of NCTmentaries. Basically it takes a lot of inspiration from movies like The Matrix (the simulation), Tron (video games this is pretty obvious in Punch and in 90s love) and Inception (dream reality evident in the 7th sense and Boss). The first full NCT Empathy and then Resonance had to do with the psychological aspects between being interconnected and resonate between the different members from different countries and different units but still being Neo Culture Technology. In the recent MAMA awards performance of Resonance there's some insight about the intercultural aspects and somehow Taeyong's role in all of it. That's why the members say he's "The pillar of NCT". There's a reason why certain members debuted in the 7th sense and with that song in particular about "Open your Eyes". Also there's clues in other videos , like Winwin interconnecting NCT127 with WayV. There's even some spoilers in Regular (NCT 127) and Boss (NCT U) that hinted at him leaving 127 to be on WayV and then it's not a coincidence they debuted with a Chinese version of Regular too. Fun fact: most SM groups have a backstory. TVXQ are the "Gods of the East". Exo are aliens, NCT it's in a simulation/dream world, WayV in a time loop and SHINee might have a theme of heaven. It's quite interesting how those narratives between EXO, SHINee, NCT and WayV play a part in SuperM's Hero universe (You will have to check out SuperM's teasers pre debut and how Taemin is like a Nick Fury figure recruiting the "Avengers" and the members finding new sides of themselves through it, but Taemin is a shady figure there and he might be the "monster" too...his whole solo career has a lot of heaven and hell meta)
Thank you for writting the whole theories in a kind of simple way 💖 For new fans it's a lot to take in but I feel like you explained it quite simply, the theories and concepts is what I like the most about SM groups :)
THIS COMMENT RIGHT HERE!!! yes its crazy that a kpop group can have such lore like this (something you would typically expect from movies/shows/books/comics) it's definitely very interesting. and adding to the fact that nct has limitless members i would say they're the most interesting group to keep up with right now.
"Lable V" is a sub-label of SM Entertainment and technically what WayV is managed under for their Chinese promotions, but really its essentially just SM in disguise. They did that because at the time WayV debuted, China/Korea's relationship was particularly rocky and China banned a lot of Korean based media from appearing on TV and being sold. So in order to make promotions for WayV easier in the Chinese market, they had to essentially distance themselves from their Korean roots and were promoted under "Lable V" rather than SM Entertainment. That's also the reason why WayV doesn't have NCT in their name.
Lyrics: Light doesn’t turn around the corner Straight line turns back when it’s impossible to go forward It’s only natural but it’s not Dreams fly high without wings And create a world The one chosen by the God No no Wake up in a transparent space Go to a higher level The next challenge marches towards time Argue whether the unknown destiny will be decided In an instant hesitate and go back In an instant regret and go back In an instant relax and go back Limit limit In an instant transcend the greed In an instant endure and go beyond In an instant transcend the limit Get it get it uh There are no boundaries on the ground and the sky is limitless If we could turn back time Make a new start and turn back This journey is called transcending time and space Oh start the ego again Minute by minute The path to the future wouldn’t be repeated Oh my colorless consciousness wakes up Turning back time 5432 Stop rewind turn back time Stop rewind turn back time 5432 Stop rewind turn back time (Stop yea got that stop10 Stop rewind turn back time Look back on what I’ve lost (Countless things I’ve lost) I have flames still alive in my hands Repeated cause and effects (Repeated cause and effects) I rewrite my stupidity into maturity Yeah I’m a beast Don’t sweat it I’ll overcome the time Go get it I should keep digging into the secret at the speed of Mach If I notice the truth of time I see the face of vision Early morning is waiting for a bigger stage If I reflect on my naivety, it will unfold Live it up double dose More colors I say No Turn me back to colorless Start over Create myself again from the past I’m awake and I’ll make a new start There’re no boundaries on the ground and the sky is limitless If we could turn back time Make a new start and turn back This journey is called transcending time and space Oh start the ego again Minute by minute The path to the future wouldn’t be repeated Oh my colorless consciousness wakes up Turning back time Like a kaleidoscope, temptation is everywhere We’re hovering over the chaotic earth Look at the colorless sound, scent, flavor, touch, and the law intuitivey The time is ticking away Oh start the ego again Minute by minute The path to the future wouldn’t be repeated Oh my colorless consciousness wakes up turning back time Oh rewrite the history Minute by minute (If we could turn back time) From myself in the past to the future Oh my colorless consciousness wakes up Turning back time 5432 5432 Stop rewind turn back time Stop rewind also yall need to get into these bsides (So basically the songs that are on the albums that aren't title tracks/singles) I really recommend NCT 127 - Whiplash NCT 127 - Baby Don't Like it NCT 127 - Back 2 U NCT 127 - Dreams come true NCT U - Faded In My Last Song NCT U - Volcano just to start then you can branch off but those are must hears. they all have lyric videos so you won't be distracted by a music video and you can read the lyrics as the song goes on and can see which member is singing/rapping so it's a good way to learn faces and voices
Yes! Resident Evil! So true. Finally someone from my timeline xD Label V is the company that represents them in China. SM is korean. Both countries have issues with each other. Long story Hope you can see the dance practice soon. This choreo is insane
Again thank you for reacting to our boys! Not a lot of people show the appreciation and we're thankful for that! We'll help along the way! ^^ Wait until you actually get to know the members personalities and stuff, you'll love them even more!
That bit where lucas is on the glass looking down at the camera - it's so captivating, it's like time stops at that very moment. Whenever I see people watching the MV, everyone freezes at that very point.
MV List ALL NCT Unit that hasn't been reacted yet: - NCT 127 = WakeyWakey, Punch, Touch, Good Thing, Chain, Fire Truck, Touch, Dreams Come True - NCT U = Baby Don't Stop, Kick & Ride, Without You, Coming Home, Timeless, From Home Rearranged Ver - NCT Dream = Chewing Gum & Heverboard, Boom, We Go Up, We Young, My First & Last, Deja Vu, Don’t Need Your Love, Joy, Baby Shark - WayV = Bad Alive Princess Ver, Take Off, Come Back

By the way, it’s WayV’s 2nd debut Anniversary today! I’m glad you liked them the most. They’re very hard working and passionate and I’m so happy they’re getting the love and recognition! My fav boys! Happy WayV Day!❤️❤️
3:06 Lucas 3:09 WinWin 3:14 Ten 3:21 Hendery 3:28 Yang Yang 3:35 Kun 3:43 XiaoJun And those are all the members of WayV. Also WayV is also known as another sub-unit of nct but in china and some of the members (Lucas, WinWin, Ten) where in the other sub units of nct like NCT U (Lucas and Ten) and NCT 127 (Win Win)
If I am not mistaken, the chinese market is became more serious just recently on visuals or sets that's why most mvs from WayV are more "high-budget" compared to other units (not that the other units have the low-budgeted ones like superhuman by 127 literally exists).
This is like my second to third time seeing a comment like this pertaining to the Chinese market and emphasis on “high budget” visuals and sets. Kind of odd because many of the cpop videos I’ve seen over the years up until now really haven’t been on par with your average kpop video so far save for a handful. What supposedly is the requirement for your average Chinese mv if their Korean counterparts already set the bar so high, higher than that of the mvs seen in the west and other parts of Asia? What does your average Chinese mv even look like? Years ago to my knowledge, there wasn’t this demand for higher budget mvs in China until recently. Their mvs usually looked quite similar to that of the ones seen in Japan who don’t like coughing up money for over the top mvs.
@@notmybusiness3055 Well, I remember watching PD (reactor) saying that China has high standards for film and video production. Although, I cannot really provide a more reliable source but here's the link th-cam.com/video/LD3ZybQ5-2Q/w-d-xo.html (at 5:36) I actually agree that they are recently going towards the high budget mv just recently like in Lay's Lit and Jackson Wang's 100 Ways, they're pretty much following that current demand. And also the fact that WayV is only a 2-year old group so their mv's might be significantly different than those released earlier than their debut. That's why I only mentioned the other units that HF have already checked out. I'll just include in my original comment that it was just until recently.
@@yuutaaaaaaa3227 I kind of knew that Lay was going to be mentioned based off lit lol I feel like he is an exception. Sure pd is onto something about China trying to be the Hollywood of Asia but I’m not seeing it yet with their idol and solo artists mvs. Reason why I say this is because the idols that come out of China’s idol survival shows don’t get mvs that are all of that. Examples would be the9’s and bonbon girls debut mvs. The main companies invest a crap load into the shows but the company they’re specifically signed under doesn’t want to come through for their debut mvs apparently lol. The ones who receive the more decent mvs fly out all the way to Korea to shoot them with a Korean production crew which is quite common to do in China for idols at least (snh48, 7senses, unine, rocket girls, c.t.o, ninepercent, oner, and more). I think even wayv’s mvs were all shot in Korea because it’s not like they don’t have the capability to produce it there. China has the capital but I’m not sure the home based technology is even completely developed hence why even Koreanized Japanese groups like niziu and jo1 all shoot their high budget looking mvs in Korea. Jo1’s online concert apparently needs to be shot in SK because they don’t have the infrastructure for it in Japan despite having the Korean part of the company’s staff based there lol
Some (lol an i mean only SOME) rap heavy NCT bsides/songs: NCT 127 - My Van - Mad Dog - Whiplash - Baby Don't Like It - Mad City NCT U - Light Bulb WayV - Nectar SuperM - Super Car - Infinity - Drip Taeyong + Mark - Undercover - Dragon Taeyong - GTA - Open The Door Mark - Drop - Talk About
@@xzzkat my gosh same! I legit have a long list of songs to recommend hahaha I'm also patiently waiting for the day for them to actually react to their live performances and finding out about the fanchants, lightstick and how insane kpop concert productions are HAHAHAHA.
NCT solo Recommendation : Mark - QTAH, Taeyong - Open The Door, Long Flight Yangyang - LEONIDAS, Ten - Dream In Dream, New Heros, TakiTaki, Devils, Lovely ft Winwin smrookies sr15b - bassbot, 0701, Switch feat. SR15B, SR14B - 'SUPER MOON Trust me on these. You won't regret
This song is about them turning back time to erase their regrettable actions so they could move toward a brighter future and, yeah, taking over the Moon. Each member has their own story. For example, Kun (the guy with blue hair, he's the leader, btw), has been driven insane by his actions and he's representing an asylum inmate, Hendery, the black haired rapper is likening himself to a mythological troll, a loner who is just senselessly isolated and hated by society (in the Korean version his lines go "How many like me? Not too many!), Lucas, the silver haired rapper has lost his wings, he's a fallen angel, a beast, as he says (btw, that V tattoo on his back is real). WayV's lyrics are very epic, they're also a visually impressive group, because their label, SM, has oriented them toward the Chinese market and insane visual spectacles are what the audience there likes. They're managed by their sub-label, Label V. In Chinese, their name is pronounced "Wei Shen Vision", literally translating to ":Mighty Gods of Vision".. They are unlike anything I've see in K-pop, except for early EXO stuff. Speaking of which, EXO's debut song, MAMA, kinda resembles this. They also had had a Chinese version (EXO M, with the M standing for Mandarin) and EXO K version (K for Korean) of the group and the song. It's pretty epic, if you'd like something similar to this, I really recommend it.
Label V is the Chinese label under SM that WayV promotes under. Because of political tensions, it's harder for them to promote in China with an apparent association to a Korean brand, which is why they don't have "NCT" in their group name, as well as a different label so they aren't "technically" under a Korean company. That way they can promote in China without difficulty :)
Because WayV (which stands for We Are Your Vision) is part of NCT, NCT's whole dream concept is also part of WayV's storyline and concept. As with everything NCT does, it all has to do with dreams, dreaming or something to do with being in a dream state. Some fans who are into SM group theories have also speculated that NCT's storyline also connects to EXO's storyline, just like how many believe that Red Velvet -- SM's girl group, who are EXO's sister group -- is also connected to EXO's storyline. I think that SM may even have set it up so that at least all of their third generation groups -- and now maybe even fourth gen. groups, with the introduction of SM's new girl group aespa, who has an Avatar concept -- have storylines that connect, link together and intertwine. Since the creation of SuperM, where they are now taking members from each of SM's most popular groups and creating an Avengers supergroup, I think that was SM's first indication that from now on we need to pay attention, because all of its groups' MVs are somehow connected. If the SuperM Avengers are coming together to help EXO stop the Red Force, I think the members who are part of SuperM are the liaisons who are helping to connect all the groups -- EXO, Taemin/SHINee, NCT and WayV -- together. For example, right after SuperM released "Jopping," WayV came out with "Moonwalk" and I think "Moonwalk" is pretty much a continuation of "Jopping's" storyline, and now I think "Turn Back Time" is also part of that story. With NCT's dream concept, they could very easily connect to EXO's other world and other dimension theories. I even see parts of the story in "Turn Back Time" that could be connected to SuperM's most recent MV for "One (Monster & Infinity)." When Lucas is suspended in the air in the MV for "One (Monster & Infinity)," I see similarities to the fact that he is supposed to be a fallen angel in "Turn Back TIme" who is also floating in the air. I also wonder if WayV actually has the power to turn back time, similar to Tao's superpower in EXO -- will it be their job to help fix the problems in EXO's and SuperM's storyline by turning back time? And, if you notice, Ten and Lucas have a pivotal role in the storyline in "Turn Back Time." I think this might be because they are members of SuperM and they are coming to gather the other WayV members to bring them into the fight. Maybe in "Turn Back Time" the WayV members are cut up and injured because they have been involved in the battle as they help SuperM take down the Red Force. So on that note, I think people need to pay attention to all of the storylines with all of SM's groups, because I think at least all of SM's third generation groups' MVs and storylines are being designed to connect stories and plots. It's all part of SM's Universe. Each group has their own individual storyline and concept, but when you put them all together there are threads of connection between the groups. And that includes EXO, Red Velvet, NCT/WayV, aespa and maybe even Taemin's solo work (and possibly -- but not 100% sold on the idea -- even eventually SHINee, even though they are technically 2nd generation. Even though SHINee are second gen, they actually fit within the age group of third generation groups, so they sort of bridge that gap between 2nd and 3rd gen. So who knows, when SHINee comes back maybe SM will draw them into the storyline as well.) Currently, there are 7 members in WayV. Ten and Lucas also are members of NCT-U and SuperM; Winwin is also a member of NCT-U and NCT-127, and Kun -- the leader of WayV -- originally debuted as part of NCT-2018; and Yanyang, Xiaojun and Hendrey debuted when WayV debuted at the beginning of 2019. Ten -- the one with the safety pin jacket -- is the main dancer in NCT and one of the best dancers in the industry, he is often the center of the group. Ten is also known as NCT's soloist and he is one of the best non-native English speakers in the group, so he knows how to command a stage all on his own. So, that might be why he stands out a little more. Kun -- the one with the blue hair -- is the oldest member and leader. As part of NCT's Mandarin Chinese sub-unit, not only do the members speak, Mandarin, Korean and English, but Ten is from Thailand so he speaks Thai, Lucas is from Hong Kong so he speaks Cantonese and a little Thai because his mom is Thai; and Yangyang grew up in Germany so he speaks German. WayV is a very international group that speaks many languages, but they all have Chinese heritage which is why SM chose them to be a part of this group. So, pretty much all of WayV's songs are in Mandarin with a few English lyrics and words mixed in. (Except when it's an English version, such as their song "Love Talk" or "Bad Alive," or if you listen to the Korean version of "Turn Back Time.") But their songs are primarily in Mandarin. As you are aware, WayV is a sub-unit of NCT. NCT currently has 23 members and that includes all the WayV members. The only reason why WayV doesn't have NCT in their name like the other NCT sub-units is because with the political issues between Korea and China at the time of their debut, Korean companies could not work in China. NCT's Chinese sub-unit has been going to debut for years, but with all the political issues it took SM a long time to find a way to work around all the rules the Chinese government put in place to prevent its native Chinese citizens from working with anyone associated with Korea and prevent anyone who was working with a Korean company from working in China. So in order to circumvent some of China's restrictions, SM found/created a Chinese company that was willing to take on NCT's Chinese sub-unit, but also allow SM to have a say in the group's concept and promotion activities. Part of how they get around the rules is they gave the group a name that distances them from their Korean roots.The company WayV is under is called Label V which is part of SM, but separate from the Korean branch of the company, and it produces songs in Mandarin to keep the Chinese government happy. All the members of WayV also speak Mandarin and have some connection to Chinese heritage, but most of the members are not native mainland Chinese citizens, so this gives them some immunity from the Chinese government. But they are representing China and they are promoting Chinese culture, so the Chinese government kind of turned a blind eye to the fact that they are technically still under a Korean company, as long as they hid any connection to their Korean company while doing promotions in China. Because of all the political issues between the Korean and Chinese governments, Kpop idols such as WayV, Lay from EXO, Zhoumi from Super Junior-M and Victoria, the leader of F(x), etc. were all separated from their Korean groups because of the restrictions China put on everything they did since 2016. Now I am nowhere near an expert on the topic, and I admit that I only understand a very minor part of what is going on between the Chinese and Korean government, but as I understand it, part of the reason for the ban on Chinese and Korean workers between the two countries is that China is refusing to align itself with the U.S. or South Korea to protect themselves with deployment of the THAAD missile defense system in South Korea. North Korea and China want to get rid of the rocket system that is meant to shoot down a nuclear missile if North Korea were to launch one at South Korea or the U.S. Another reason why China doesn't like the THAAD system is because China and the U.S. don't have the best relationship, so if the U.S. and China become on even worse terms China is afraid the U.S. could also use THAAD against them. China says the THAAD system is just provoking them to actually start a nuclear war, and until they remove it or at least move it back from the South Korean border, they will continue their ban on Korean products, workers and the Hallyu wave from working in China and for its native Chinese citizens from working with Korean companies. China feels like the Korean government is taking away its native commodities by allowing Chinese people to work in Korea. The issue is even more complicated than this, but that is one part of it. However, this doesn't always explain why some Chinese idols have been able to get around China's rules and have been able to continue working with their Kpop groups without any backlash. But all I can guess is these idols don't have any connection to mainland China. If they are from somewhere else in China, such as Hong Kong or a Chinese adjacent country like Taiwan, etc. or if they are citizens of other countries such as Thailand or Germany, the rule doesn't apply to them. All I can guess is these idols have some sort of loophole, such as they don't have any family living in mainland China, which allows them to avoid the regulations. However in the last few months the tensions between China and Korea have started to let up and the Chinese government has rescinded its ban on China and Korea working together, so we are starting to see our Chinese idols working in Korea again. For example, Lay, EXO's Chinese member, has recently been talking more about EXO on Chinese programs and WayV has actually been appearing on Korean variety shows and doing activities in Korea. Before this WayV, as a group, was not allowed to be associated with anything to do with Korea if they wanted to be allowed to promote in China. However, WayV even released a Korean version of "Turn Back Time," which is a first for them. Also, after almost 6 years, we have seen Zhoumi, one of Super Junior's Chinese members actually back in Korea working alongside his Korean Super Junior members and he has released a song, "Starry Night" with one of his Korean members and the song has both a Chinese and Korean version. So I take all this as a good sign.
The reasons why I like this MV so much : 1. Very well created, if you watch the behind the scenes, you will know how much they worked hard for this. Especially hendery which guy in a tank(?), It's really cold tho 2. The head move when "stop rewind turn back time" 3. Kun's psycho smiles ( the guy with broken glasses ) 4. Yangyang's psycho laugh ( the guy in the colorful room ) 5. Cinematic wings of Lucas 6. Guitar sound 7. Xiaojun's set place 8. Winwin with the chains ( he known as a cute member but in here oh man....... ) 9. Ten being hero who set them free, I love his dance too when the guitar starting. 10. The beat ofc.
There are so many kpop groups out there but I must admit SM has always got the most versatile artists. Let me name some that haven't been mentioned yet like TVXQ, Super junior (my favourite one), Boa, SNSD (aka girl's generation) Fx. They were on top at their time. Now is NCT's moment and they deserve it. The whole group is just amazing.
The thing that I love the most about their videos is that, they are not fake, and edited like a lot of reacting videos 👏👏And their reactions omg I love them because they are not exaggerating anything!
I'm sure it's already in one of the 267 comments, but Turn Back Time was the same Producers, Topliners, and Chinese lyricist as Moonwalk - it's basically a successor in theme, too. ReacttotheK has a great interview with Adrian McKinnon & Tay Jasper about the two songs.
This definitely has the same glam sci fi horror feel of Resident Evil. Absolutely sick video, from a group known for their visually spectacular videos.
The group that produced this MV is called VM Project Architecture (@vm_project on IG) and they've created some of the most visually stunning kpop MVs. They've worked on other NCT and SuperM projects, also with EXO, iKON, GI-DLE, Seventeen and a whole bunch of other artists.
I work in multimedia and I'm always impressed with the color grading in all their videos - in all K-Pop videos, actually. This one was a feast for the eyes, for sure. I'd sure love to see the storyboarding process for their videos.

I have a couple recommendations! Taeyong (from NCT and SuperM) has a solo song called 'Long Flight' SuperM - Tiger Inside Taemin (SuperM and SHINee) has a bunch of solo songs but 'Criminal' is amazing GOTTASADAE - BewhY
Nct Dream - BOOM - We go up 127 - Punch - Chain EXO - kokobop - Obsession - Monster - The eve (Stage ver.) - Lotto - Tempo - Love me right Super m - One (monster & infinity) - Tiger inside In fact, the songs on their album are crazy !!! You should listen to every band's playlist of their albums.
The story is they are all special in someway but being repressed and they are freed to be who they are as the videos goes on I think. Ten is in the first room with table, xiaojun is in pipe room, kun is in the padded cell, winwin is chained up, Yangyang in the room with graffiti, Lucas is the half naked guy with white hair and feathers around him, and Hendery is in the water room.
Thank you guys. I've subscribed early. I am digging your channel. If you think your in the kpop rabbit hole and feel you want to invest your time and energy in it, I commend you. It's a bigger undertaking than you think, but I only hope you are enjoying yourselves with this new discovery. As a born and bred American who grew up with Western everything....I've been in the kpop hole for 10 years. So you take your time and don't burn out. Take breaks if you need. I wait for you. Disregard any demanding or harmful comments. Haters are out there...but you have a real fan here.✌💙🌺
if you liked the individual shots, you should watch the individual teasers, the visuals there are just amazing and everyone has their own story and concept
Since you really like Taeyong you should check some of his solo songs. Taeyong - Long Flight (my personal favorite) Taeyong x Hitchhiker - AROUND Here are some other suggestions: NCT Dream- BOOM (my personal NCT Dream favorite) NCT 127- Back 2 U (AM 01:27) (my personal NCT 127 favorite) NCT 127- Baby Don't Like It NCT 127- Firetruck NCT 127- Mad City NCT 127- Punch Superm- No Manners Superm- Dangerous Woman (it's a song in response to Ariana Grande's Dangerous Woman)
5:24 this is Yangyang, he’s the main rapper and lead dancer and has a solo song called Leonidas, you should react to it, he wrote it and Kun produced it i think
what's interesting in kpop is they have theory within song and Mv , wich is mean like story line, and the connection between all of the song from the album. I'm not really know about NCT theory, but what i knew is all of NCT unit are connected to each other, and from the NCT was created until now all of the Mv are connected. What i really love is the theory of regular irregular album from nct 127, and how NCT dream theory MV from chewing gum till riddin' like how they grow up , and this NCT 2020 Resonance album 👍🏻from what i heard it about how all of the unit complete the mission for become together or how they became resonance, Love your reaction 😍
Cyrus was incorrect. You have seen members of WayV in NCT U joints. Lucas (with wings): Boss, Make a Wish Xiaojun: Make a Wish Ten: 7th Sense, 90s Love, Baby Don't Stop, Work it Yangyang (grafitti room): 90s Love Winwin (chained up): 90s Love, Regular Hendery (under water): Work It Kun (white room): From Home, which you haven't seen yet. Hopefully, I haven't missed anything!
WayV is indisputably my favorite group. Love, love them. For the video, I think they're on a prison spaceship, lol. WayV reacted to their own video, lol, and they were saying they were in cells.
I think you would enjoy SuperM's "Tiger Inside." Remember SuperM is the super group that has members from EXO, SHINee, WayV's Ten and Lucas, NCT 127's Taeyong and Mark.
Just an fyi every kpop group is incredible so please don't feel pressured to react to everything and just enjoy your journey, also please react to Seventeen left and right they're known to be one of the most synchronized groups in the industry
My top 3 kpop songs are: God's menu by stray kids Monster by EXO Lit by Lay (this one is Chinese but it's a solo track of an EXO member) You asked in another video for rappers who can also sing and a lot of the rappers can also sing but most do not sing in MVs. Taeyong (nct- has a solo track where he also sings (Long Flight)) Stray kids is another group whose members, almost all 8 can both rap and sing. Love your reactions so far!
They're definitely gonna like WayV's regular mv
So true! I like the English version best, but as for the mv, the Chinese version is best.
YES!!!!
Yes!
Yesssss love WayV's regular better (personal opinion)
Label V is SM agency in China, WayV has been debuted for China market so they sing in Chinese. And you hardly see them in NCT official except NCT 2020. Thank you for paying attention to WayV.
you see them in nct u too
Most of the members in wayV are present in nct u/127 comebacks like 90s love and work it and Lucas and ten who are in most ncts videos and so on. you should include that, they’re not “hardly seen In nct.”
@@samm169 I said they hardly be seen except in NCT 2020. please read it nicely. NCT official never promote WayV before NCT2020 album.
yeah they are not nctV bc china and korea are having a conflict so kpop is basically banned so they couldnt name it nct or sumn :/
@@azdawn264 😂😂 SM has promoted 127 since debuted till now as WayV are in a dungeon.
One thing I think nobody has mentioned before is that NCT (Neo Culture Technology) has a storyline that interconnects all the units. We still don't understand it completely but there's some easter eggs in every MV. WayV that means "We Are The Vision" has a storyline related to time travel and space. Dream is literally that, the dream world and NCT 127 is related to experiments about consciousness and "waking up". There's actually a series of NCTmentaries. Basically it takes a lot of inspiration from movies like The Matrix (the simulation), Tron (video games this is pretty obvious in Punch and in 90s love) and Inception (dream reality evident in the 7th sense and Boss).
The first full NCT Empathy and then Resonance had to do with the psychological aspects between being interconnected and resonate between the different members from different countries and different units but still being Neo Culture Technology.
In the recent MAMA awards performance of Resonance there's some insight about the intercultural aspects and somehow Taeyong's role in all of it. That's why the members say he's "The pillar of NCT". There's a reason why certain members debuted in the 7th sense and with that song in particular about "Open your Eyes". Also there's clues in other videos , like Winwin interconnecting NCT127 with WayV. There's even some spoilers in Regular (NCT 127) and Boss (NCT U) that hinted at him leaving 127 to be on WayV and then it's not a coincidence they debuted with a Chinese version of Regular too.
Fun fact: most SM groups have a backstory. TVXQ are the "Gods of the East". Exo are aliens, NCT it's in a simulation/dream world, WayV in a time loop and SHINee might have a theme of heaven.
It's quite interesting how those narratives between EXO, SHINee, NCT and WayV play a part in SuperM's Hero universe (You will have to check out SuperM's teasers pre debut and how Taemin is like a Nick Fury figure recruiting the "Avengers" and the members finding new sides of themselves through it, but Taemin is a shady figure there and he might be the "monster" too...his whole solo career has a lot of heaven and hell meta)
Thank you for writting the whole theories in a kind of simple way 💖 For new fans it's a lot to take in but I feel like you explained it quite simply, the theories and concepts is what I like the most about SM groups :)
yessss and also NCT127 albums, if you read their lyrics they're really trying to tie the "waking" aspect in all of their songs, it's really amazing...
Im sorry but when you wrote all the groups concept and then like "EXO are aliens" made me laugh way more than it should have 😂😭
This is awesome! Thanks for explaining this, I have been a fan for a long time, but there are things here that I haven't heard.
THIS COMMENT RIGHT HERE!!! yes its crazy that a kpop group can have such lore like this (something you would typically expect from movies/shows/books/comics) it's definitely very interesting. and adding to the fact that nct has limitless members i would say they're the most interesting group to keep up with right now.
this is literally wayv’s best title track
Agree😔✊
🧢🧢, not when Moonwalk & Take Off exist
Moonwalk says hi
Honestly WayV does not have *one* "best title track". WayV does not do it like that. All their title tracks are just superior.
Moonwalk is done with y'all :,)
And Take off left the chat.
"Lable V" is a sub-label of SM Entertainment and technically what WayV is managed under for their Chinese promotions, but really its essentially just SM in disguise. They did that because at the time WayV debuted, China/Korea's relationship was particularly rocky and China banned a lot of Korean based media from appearing on TV and being sold. So in order to make promotions for WayV easier in the Chinese market, they had to essentially distance themselves from their Korean roots and were promoted under "Lable V" rather than SM Entertainment. That's also the reason why WayV doesn't have NCT in their name.
NCT sexy/baby making (LOL) song recommendation :

Straight line turns back when it’s impossible to go forward
It’s only natural but it’s not
Dreams fly high without wings

Wake up in a transparent space Go to a higher level
The next challenge marches towards time
Argue whether the unknown destiny will be decided
In an instant hesitate and go back

In an instant transcend the greed
In an instant endure and go beyond
In an instant transcend the limit

Label V is the company that represents them in China. SM is korean. Both countries have issues with each other. Long story
Hope you can see the dance practice soon. This choreo is insane
The high notes of Xiaojun & Ten in this song is crazy.
(Edit- You guys should hear their high notes in live ver. they're legit performers)
WayV is the best. PERIOD!!! They deserve so much more recognition! I'm glad people are starting to see them! So proud to be a WayZenNi ♡

Girl Group : Aespa - Black Mamba 🐍🐍
If I am not mistaken, the chinese market is became more serious just recently on visuals or sets that's why most mvs from WayV are more "high-budget" compared to other units (not that the other units have the low-budgeted ones like superhuman by 127 literally exists).
This is like my second to third time seeing a comment like this pertaining to the Chinese market and emphasis on “high budget” visuals and sets. Kind of odd because many of the cpop videos I’ve seen over the years up until now really haven’t been on par with your average kpop video so far save for a handful. What supposedly is the requirement for your average Chinese mv if their Korean counterparts already set the bar so high, higher than that of the mvs seen in the west and other parts of Asia? What does your average Chinese mv even look like? Years ago to my knowledge, there wasn’t this demand for higher budget mvs in China until recently. Their mvs usually looked quite similar to that of the ones seen in Japan who don’t like coughing up money for over the top mvs.
@@notmybusiness3055 Well, I remember watching PD (reactor) saying that China has high standards for film and video production. Although, I cannot really provide a more reliable source but here's the link
th-cam.com/video/LD3ZybQ5-2Q/w-d-xo.html (at 5:36)
I actually agree that they are recently going towards the high budget mv just recently like in Lay's Lit and Jackson Wang's 100 Ways, they're pretty much following that current demand. And also the fact that WayV is only a 2-year old group so their mv's might be significantly different than those released earlier than their debut. That's why I only mentioned the other units that HF have already checked out. I'll just include in my original comment that it was just until recently.
@@yuutaaaaaaa3227 I kind of knew that Lay was going to be mentioned based off lit lol I feel like he is an exception. Sure pd is onto something about China trying to be the Hollywood of Asia but I’m not seeing it yet with their idol and solo artists mvs. Reason why I say this is because the idols that come out of China’s idol survival shows don’t get mvs that are all of that. Examples would be the9’s and bonbon girls debut mvs. The main companies invest a crap load into the shows but the company they’re specifically signed under doesn’t want to come through for their debut mvs apparently lol. The ones who receive the more decent mvs fly out all the way to Korea to shoot them with a Korean production crew which is quite common to do in China for idols at least (snh48, 7senses, unine, rocket girls, c.t.o, ninepercent, oner, and more). I think even wayv’s mvs were all shot in Korea because it’s not like they don’t have the capability to produce it there. China has the capital but I’m not sure the home based technology is even completely developed hence why even Koreanized Japanese groups like niziu and jo1 all shoot their high budget looking mvs in Korea. Jo1’s online concert apparently needs to be shot in SK because they don’t have the infrastructure for it in Japan despite having the Korean part of the company’s staff based there lol

smrookies sr15b - bassbot, 0701, Switch feat. SR15B, SR14B - 'SUPER MOON
Trust me on these. You won't regret
This song is about them turning back time to erase their regrettable actions so they could move toward a brighter future and, yeah, taking over the Moon. Each member has their own story. For example, Kun (the guy with blue hair, he's the leader, btw), has been driven insane by his actions and he's representing an asylum inmate, Hendery, the black haired rapper is likening himself to a mythological troll, a loner who is just senselessly isolated and hated by society (in the Korean version his lines go "How many like me? Not too many!), Lucas, the silver haired rapper has lost his wings, he's a fallen angel, a beast, as he says (btw, that V tattoo on his back is real). WayV's lyrics are very epic, they're also a visually impressive group, because their label, SM, has oriented them toward the Chinese market and insane visual spectacles are what the audience there likes. They're managed by their sub-label, Label V. In Chinese, their name is pronounced "Wei Shen Vision", literally translating to ":Mighty Gods of Vision".. They are unlike anything I've see in K-pop, except for early EXO stuff. Speaking of which, EXO's debut song, MAMA, kinda resembles this. They also had had a Chinese version (EXO M, with the M standing for Mandarin) and EXO K version (K for Korean) of the group and the song. It's pretty epic, if you'd like something similar to this, I really recommend it.
Man don't sweat it, we're here to enjoy your journey and help you when you need it, just keep it up ^_^
Label V is the Chinese label under SM that WayV promotes under. Because of political tensions, it's harder for them to promote in China with an apparent association to a Korean brand, which is why they don't have "NCT" in their group name, as well as a different label so they aren't "technically" under a Korean company. That way they can promote in China without difficulty :)
Keep stanning NCT & Exo💚🤍
WayV is the Chinese unit of NCT.
They are famous for their choreo.
Because WayV (which stands for We Are Your Vision) is part of NCT, NCT's whole dream concept is also part of WayV's storyline and concept. As with everything NCT does, it all has to do with dreams, dreaming or something to do with being in a dream state. Some fans who are into SM group theories have also speculated that NCT's storyline also connects to EXO's storyline, just like how many believe that Red Velvet -- SM's girl group, who are EXO's sister group -- is also connected to EXO's storyline. I think that SM may even have set it up so that at least all of their third generation groups -- and now maybe even fourth gen. groups, with the introduction of SM's new girl group aespa, who has an Avatar concept -- have storylines that connect, link together and intertwine.
Since the creation of SuperM, where they are now taking members from each of SM's most popular groups and creating an Avengers supergroup, I think that was SM's first indication that from now on we need to pay attention, because all of its groups' MVs are somehow connected. If the SuperM Avengers are coming together to help EXO stop the Red Force, I think the members who are part of SuperM are the liaisons who are helping to connect all the groups -- EXO, Taemin/SHINee, NCT and WayV -- together. For example, right after SuperM released "Jopping," WayV came out with "Moonwalk" and I think "Moonwalk" is pretty much a continuation of "Jopping's" storyline, and now I think "Turn Back Time" is also part of that story. With NCT's dream concept, they could very easily connect to EXO's other world and other dimension theories.
I even see parts of the story in "Turn Back Time" that could be connected to SuperM's most recent MV for "One (Monster & Infinity)." When Lucas is suspended in the air in the MV for "One (Monster & Infinity)," I see similarities to the fact that he is supposed to be a fallen angel in "Turn Back TIme" who is also floating in the air. I also wonder if WayV actually has the power to turn back time, similar to Tao's superpower in EXO -- will it be their job to help fix the problems in EXO's and SuperM's storyline by turning back time?
And, if you notice, Ten and Lucas have a pivotal role in the storyline in "Turn Back Time." I think this might be because they are members of SuperM and they are coming to gather the other WayV members to bring them into the fight. Maybe in "Turn Back Time" the WayV members are cut up and injured because they have been involved in the battle as they help SuperM take down the Red Force.
So on that note, I think people need to pay attention to all of the storylines with all of SM's groups, because I think at least all of SM's third generation groups' MVs and storylines are being designed to connect stories and plots. It's all part of SM's Universe. Each group has their own individual storyline and concept, but when you put them all together there are threads of connection between the groups. And that includes EXO, Red Velvet, NCT/WayV, aespa and maybe even Taemin's solo work (and possibly -- but not 100% sold on the idea -- even eventually SHINee, even though they are technically 2nd generation. Even though SHINee are second gen, they actually fit within the age group of third generation groups, so they sort of bridge that gap between 2nd and 3rd gen. So who knows, when SHINee comes back maybe SM will draw them into the storyline as well.)
Currently, there are 7 members in WayV. Ten and Lucas also are members of NCT-U and SuperM; Winwin is also a member of NCT-U and NCT-127, and Kun -- the leader of WayV -- originally debuted as part of NCT-2018; and Yanyang, Xiaojun and Hendrey debuted when WayV debuted at the beginning of 2019.
Ten -- the one with the safety pin jacket -- is the main dancer in NCT and one of the best dancers in the industry, he is often the center of the group. Ten is also known as NCT's soloist and he is one of the best non-native English speakers in the group, so he knows how to command a stage all on his own. So, that might be why he stands out a little more. Kun -- the one with the blue hair -- is the oldest member and leader.
As part of NCT's Mandarin Chinese sub-unit, not only do the members speak, Mandarin, Korean and English, but Ten is from Thailand so he speaks Thai, Lucas is from Hong Kong so he speaks Cantonese and a little Thai because his mom is Thai; and Yangyang grew up in Germany so he speaks German. WayV is a very international group that speaks many languages, but they all have Chinese heritage which is why SM chose them to be a part of this group.
So, pretty much all of WayV's songs are in Mandarin with a few English lyrics and words mixed in. (Except when it's an English version, such as their song "Love Talk" or "Bad Alive," or if you listen to the Korean version of "Turn Back Time.") But their songs are primarily in Mandarin.
As you are aware, WayV is a sub-unit of NCT. NCT currently has 23 members and that includes all the WayV members. The only reason why WayV doesn't have NCT in their name like the other NCT sub-units is because with the political issues between Korea and China at the time of their debut, Korean companies could not work in China. NCT's Chinese sub-unit has been going to debut for years, but with all the political issues it took SM a long time to find a way to work around all the rules the Chinese government put in place to prevent its native Chinese citizens from working with anyone associated with Korea and prevent anyone who was working with a Korean company from working in China.
So in order to circumvent some of China's restrictions, SM found/created a Chinese company that was willing to take on NCT's Chinese sub-unit, but also allow SM to have a say in the group's concept and promotion activities. Part of how they get around the rules is they gave the group a name that distances them from their Korean roots.The company WayV is under is called Label V which is part of SM, but separate from the Korean branch of the company, and it produces songs in Mandarin to keep the Chinese government happy. All the members of WayV also speak Mandarin and have some connection to Chinese heritage, but most of the members are not native mainland Chinese citizens, so this gives them some immunity from the Chinese government. But they are representing China and they are promoting Chinese culture, so the Chinese government kind of turned a blind eye to the fact that they are technically still under a Korean company, as long as they hid any connection to their Korean company while doing promotions in China.
Because of all the political issues between the Korean and Chinese governments, Kpop idols such as WayV, Lay from EXO, Zhoumi from Super Junior-M and Victoria, the leader of F(x), etc. were all separated from their Korean groups because of the restrictions China put on everything they did since 2016.
Now I am nowhere near an expert on the topic, and I admit that I only understand a very minor part of what is going on between the Chinese and Korean government, but as I understand it, part of the reason for the ban on Chinese and Korean workers between the two countries is that China is refusing to align itself with the U.S. or South Korea to protect themselves with deployment of the THAAD missile defense system in South Korea. North Korea and China want to get rid of the rocket system that is meant to shoot down a nuclear missile if North Korea were to launch one at South Korea or the U.S. Another reason why China doesn't like the THAAD system is because China and the U.S. don't have the best relationship, so if the U.S. and China become on even worse terms China is afraid the U.S. could also use THAAD against them. China says the THAAD system is just provoking them to actually start a nuclear war, and until they remove it or at least move it back from the South Korean border, they will continue their ban on Korean products, workers and the Hallyu wave from working in China and for its native Chinese citizens from working with Korean companies. China feels like the Korean government is taking away its native commodities by allowing Chinese people to work in Korea. The issue is even more complicated than this, but that is one part of it.
However, this doesn't always explain why some Chinese idols have been able to get around China's rules and have been able to continue working with their Kpop groups without any backlash. But all I can guess is these idols don't have any connection to mainland China. If they are from somewhere else in China, such as Hong Kong or a Chinese adjacent country like Taiwan, etc. or if they are citizens of other countries such as Thailand or Germany, the rule doesn't apply to them. All I can guess is these idols have some sort of loophole, such as they don't have any family living in mainland China, which allows them to avoid the regulations.
However in the last few months the tensions between China and Korea have started to let up and the Chinese government has rescinded its ban on China and Korea working together, so we are starting to see our Chinese idols working in Korea again. For example, Lay, EXO's Chinese member, has recently been talking more about EXO on Chinese programs and WayV has actually been appearing on Korean variety shows and doing activities in Korea. Before this WayV, as a group, was not allowed to be associated with anything to do with Korea if they wanted to be allowed to promote in China. However, WayV even released a Korean version of "Turn Back Time," which is a first for them. Also, after almost 6 years, we have seen Zhoumi, one of Super Junior's Chinese members actually back in Korea working alongside his Korean Super Junior members and he has released a song, "Starry Night" with one of his Korean members and the song has both a Chinese and Korean version. So I take all this as a good sign.
wayv has the best music & videos... they are definitely the best unit, imo
WayV: Take off
It's WayV's 2 year anniversary today! Happy Birthday WayV!
The reasons why I like this MV so much :
1. Very well created, if you watch the behind the scenes, you will know how much they worked hard for this. Especially hendery which guy in a tank(?), It's really cold tho
2. The head move when "stop rewind turn back time"
3. Kun's psycho smiles ( the guy with broken glasses )
4. Yangyang's psycho laugh ( the guy in the colorful room )
5. Cinematic wings of Lucas
6. Guitar sound
7. Xiaojun's set place
8. Winwin with the chains ( he known as a cute member but in here oh man....... )
9. Ten being hero who set them free, I love his dance too when the guitar starting.
10. The beat ofc.
‘NCT U - Baby don’t stop’ should benext
don’t forget to check out Regular Chinese version by Wayv as well
There are so many kpop groups out there but I must admit SM has always got the most versatile artists. Let me name some that haven't been mentioned yet like TVXQ, Super junior (my favourite one), Boa, SNSD (aka girl's generation) Fx. They were on top at their time. Now is NCT's moment and they deserve it. The whole group is just amazing.
Tysm for reacting to and loving wayv. They’re amazing but so underrated. They’re my fav group so I’m so happy watching you guys appreciating wayv.
The thing that I love the most about their videos is that, they are not fake, and edited like a lot of reacting videos 👏👏And their reactions omg I love them because they are not exaggerating anything!
I'm glad you guys are liking WayV. The unit is underrated. I don't know if it's because it's Chinese and not Korean but they bring it every time.
i just watched literally ALL ur vids.. fireee
btw, wayv is also my favorite they're amazing
I'm sure it's already in one of the 267 comments, but Turn Back Time was the same Producers, Topliners, and Chinese lyricist as Moonwalk - it's basically a successor in theme, too. ReacttotheK has a great interview with Adrian McKinnon & Tay Jasper about the two songs.
I Love SM 😍
Please, next NCT DREAM BOOM, honestly a bop
Today is actually wayv's 2nd anniversary. Thank you so much for reacting
Mad city- mark Lee and taeyong
Up
I think you should react to their dance practice to this song it’s really good

Wayv- Take Off is such a bop. It always gets me in a good mood 😊💕

Regular WayV version!!!! WE'RE WAITING
This definitely has the same glam sci fi horror feel of Resident Evil. Absolutely sick video, from a group known for their visually spectacular videos.
The group that produced this MV is called VM Project Architecture (@vm_project on IG) and they've created some of the most visually stunning kpop MVs. They've worked on other NCT and SuperM projects, also with EXO, iKON, GI-DLE, Seventeen and a whole bunch of other artists.
I work in multimedia and I'm always impressed with the color grading in all their videos - in all K-Pop videos, actually. This one was a feast for the eyes, for sure. I'd sure love to see the storyboarding process for their videos.
Check out Red Velvet - Bad Boy. Same company as NCT and EXO. You'll go nuts over them!
I second this 😎🤚🏽
OMG YES
Yes, please
Bad boy, psycho, peek-a-boo are hella fine like a wine 👌🏻
This is probably my favorite comeback of 2020
Dont forget pls the NCT's Cherry bomb dance practice
[Verse 1]
Light doesn't turn around the corner
Straight line turns back when it's impossible to go forward
It's only natural but it's not
Dreams fly high without wings
And create a world, the one chosen by the God (No, no)
Wake up in a transparent space, go to a higher level
The next challenge marches towards time
Argue whether the unknown destiny will be decided
[Verse 2]
In an instant, hesitate and go back
In an instant, regret and go back
In an instant, relax and go back limit, limit
In an instant, transcend the greed
In an instant, endure and go beyond
In an instant, transcended the limit
Get it, get it, uh
[Pre-Chorus]
There are no boundaries on the ground and the sky is limitless
If we could turn back time
Make a new start and turn back
This journey is called transcending time and space
[Chorus]
Oh, start the ego again minute by minute
The path to the future wouldn't be repeated
Oh, my colorless consciousness wakes up turning back time
5-4-3-2
[Post-Chorus]
Stop, rewind, turn back time
Stop, rewind, turn back time, 5-4-3-2
Stop (stop) rewind, turn (yeah) back time (got that)
Stop, rewind, turn back time
[Verse 3]
Look back on what I've lost (Countless things I've lost)
I have flames still alive in my hands
Repeated cause and effects
I rewrite my stupidity into maturity
Yeah, I'm a beast, don't sweat it
I'll overcome the time, go get it
I should keep digging into the secret at the speed of Mach
If I notice the truth of time
I see the face of vision
[Verse 4]
Early morning is waiting for a bigger stage
If I reflect on my naivety, it will unfold
Live it up, double dose, more colors, I say no
Turn me back to colorless, start over
Create myself again from the past
I'm awake and I'll make a new start
[Pre-Chorus]
There are no boundaries on the ground and the sky is limitless
If we could turn back time
Make a new start and turn back
This journey is called transcending time and space
[Chorus]
Oh, start the ego again minute by minute
The path to the future wouldn't be repeated
Oh, my colorless consciousness wakes up turning back time
[Bridge]
Like a kaleidoscope, temptation is everywhere
We're hovering over the chaotic earth
Look at the colorless sound, scent, flavor, touch, and the law intuitively
The time is ticking away
[Chorus]
Oh, start the ego again minute by minute
The path to the future wouldn't be repeated
Oh, my colorless consciousness wakes up turning back time (Take it away)
Oh, rewrite the history minute by minute (If we could turn back time)
From myself in the past to the future
Oh, my colorless consciousness wakes up turning back time 5-4-3-2
[Outro]
5-4-3-2
Stop, rewind, turn back time
Stop, rewind
Today is WayV's second anniversary! Congrats, WayV and WayZenNi! ^^
Turn Back Time Lyrics and yes this song does have a message this is my Favorite Songz by My Guys WayV💯💚

I have a couple recommendations!
Taeyong (from NCT and SuperM) has a solo song called 'Long Flight'
SuperM - Tiger Inside
Taemin (SuperM and SHINee) has a bunch of solo songs but 'Criminal' is amazing
GOTTASADAE - BewhY
Nct
Dream
- BOOM
- We go up
127
- Punch
- Chain
EXO
- kokobop
- Obsession
- Monster
- The eve (Stage ver.)
- Lotto
- Tempo
- Love me right
Super m
- One (monster & infinity)
- Tiger inside
In fact, the songs on their album are crazy !!!
You should listen to every band's playlist of their albums.
The story is they are all special in someway but being repressed and they are freed to be who they are as the videos goes on I think.
Ten is in the first room with table, xiaojun is in pipe room, kun is in the padded cell, winwin is chained up, Yangyang in the room with graffiti, Lucas is the half naked guy with white hair and feathers around him, and Hendery is in the water room.
Thank you for your reaction ♡ I enjoy
Thanks for WAYV...
Thank you guys. I've subscribed early. I am digging your channel. If you think your in the kpop rabbit hole and feel you want to invest your time and energy in it, I commend you. It's a bigger undertaking than you think, but I only hope you are enjoying yourselves with this new discovery. As a born and bred American who grew up with Western everything....I've been in the kpop hole for 10 years. So you take your time and don't burn out. Take breaks if you need. I wait for you. Disregard any demanding or harmful comments. Haters are out there...but you have a real fan here.✌💙🌺
this is cpop yall😫
wayv c-pop is the best
thank u sm for reacting to wayv 🥺💖
if you liked the individual shots, you should watch the individual teasers, the visuals there are just amazing and everyone has their own story and concept
My top 3 wayv tittle track
Moonwalk
Take Off
Regular
i love WayV!
Love the reaction hehe. Please react to WayV “Regular” MV and “Take Off” MV
WayV fandom is called WayShenNi and today we are celebrating WayV's 2nd anniversary so thank you so much for watching this today , love you guys
Since you really like Taeyong you should check some of his solo songs.
Taeyong - Long Flight (my personal favorite)
Taeyong x Hitchhiker - AROUND
Here are some other suggestions:
NCT Dream- BOOM (my personal NCT Dream favorite)
NCT 127- Back 2 U (AM 01:27) (my personal NCT 127 favorite)
NCT 127- Baby Don't Like It
NCT 127- Firetruck
NCT 127- Mad City
NCT 127- Punch
Superm- No Manners
Superm- Dangerous Woman (it's a song in response to Ariana Grande's Dangerous Woman)
5:24 this is Yangyang, he’s the main rapper and lead dancer and has a solo song called Leonidas, you should react to it, he wrote it and Kun produced it i think
This video is the first time SM used the drone cameras (during the dance break)
what's interesting in kpop is they have theory within song and Mv , wich is mean like story line, and the connection between all of the song from the album.
I'm not really know about NCT theory, but what i knew is all of NCT unit are connected to each other, and from the NCT was created until now all of the Mv are connected.
What i really love is the theory of regular irregular album from nct 127, and how NCT dream theory MV from chewing gum till riddin' like how they grow up , and this NCT 2020 Resonance album 👍🏻from what i heard it about how all of the unit complete the mission for become together or how they became resonance,
Love your reaction 😍
a wholesome channel
Cyrus was incorrect. You have seen members of WayV in NCT U joints.
Lucas (with wings): Boss, Make a Wish
Xiaojun: Make a Wish
Ten: 7th Sense, 90s Love, Baby Don't Stop, Work it
Yangyang (grafitti room): 90s Love
Winwin (chained up): 90s Love, Regular
Hendery (under water): Work It
Kun (white room): From Home, which you haven't seen yet.
Hopefully, I haven't missed anything!
WayV is indisputably my favorite group. Love, love them. For the video, I think they're on a prison spaceship, lol. WayV reacted to their own video, lol, and they were saying they were in cells.
Funfact : today is WayV 2nd anniversary 🎉 😀 thanks for reaction
I think you would enjoy SuperM's "Tiger Inside." Remember SuperM is the super group that has members from EXO, SHINee, WayV's Ten and Lucas, NCT 127's Taeyong and Mark.
Just an fyi every kpop group is incredible so please don't feel pressured to react to everything and just enjoy your journey, also please react to Seventeen left and right they're known to be one of the most synchronized groups in the industry
My top 3 kpop songs are:
God's menu by stray kids
Monster by EXO
Lit by Lay (this one is Chinese but it's a solo track of an EXO member)
You asked in another video for rappers who can also sing and a lot of the rappers can also sing but most do not sing in MVs. Taeyong (nct- has a solo track where he also sings (Long Flight))
Stray kids is another group whose members, almost all 8 can both rap and sing.
Love your reactions so far!
Here from Day 1💃🏾💃🏾❣️❣️
My top 3 WayV songs are:
Domino (b-side)
Moonwalk
