It's honestly incredible how well planned all their story is, I didn't expect such a big callback to Excalibur. I'm so excited to see what's to come next.
Jahan SLAYED. His deep vocals on this one are so wonderful, and the name drops of their previous songs just tie their whole lore together. Speaking of lore, it seems VERY convenient that Hwon was depicted in shadows 👀 Very fitting for the King of Storms.
This song is honestly so cool, love all the callbacks and the way it evolves over time, plus that guitar is so good. Also, that final chorus hit so hard I couldn't even process what was going on at first LOL But basically, the "Rise up!" has a major key sound in the first choruses, but then in the end they actually change it to a minor key sound in the last chorus, which is really rare for any K-pop (or even pop) song :o
This song was the powerhouse we all needed!! The lyrics of course referenced Ascension, Black Crown (kinda), Karma, and Dystopia, but the only real reference that we needed was the splitting of shots from Excalibur and Coup D'etat, because Arthur started the History of Kingdom phase, and Jahan was the one to end the phase, so having the shots with the two of them was very meaningful. I actually teared up when I saw it (maybe because I've been sleep deprived, so I might be a bit more emotional than usual, but still lol). I am looking forward to phase 2 of the KINGDOM storyline!
@@asuna.yuuki.1084 His story will be referenced in the second phase of the storyline. In HOK, the only thing we know is that Hwon appeared around the time of Chiwoo's death at the hands of evil spirits, and Chiwoo passed the torch of leadership onto him before he ultimately passed away. We don't know anything about his temperament or his motives, other than the fact that he is trying to fulfill Chiwoo's mission in his stead.
Been watching your channel for years but I am not sure if I have ever commented. Just wanted to say I appreciate how you appreciate everyone so beautifully and spread such positivity, love you Ben and best wishes to you!💞
always excited for a new kingdom comeback 🤩 as usual they don't disappoint, and the choreography is 🔥 i'm going to have to watch all the performance vids that i can for this
All the references in this one!!!! I can't believe we're finally here. Though I'm curious what they will do with Hwon. I wonder what will the next stories be.
I completely lost my sh- ...mind on this one. The mentioning of all six previous titles in a single line--which also has corresponding choreo at the same time btw--the cuts from Excalibur (I KNEW there was going to be some connection between Jahan and Arthur since the Excalibur mv and I haven't stopped preaching to my friend about it lol), the RAPPING which I missed in the last title, the eclipse and some kind of planets colliding situation, it's all so intense and purposeful. Also Jahan is far and away my bias so extra points just for his dark, deep voice and commanding presence 🙂🫠 Thanks for reacting as always!
So fun to finally see this after they were teasing it at the concert. But I was like “Did I walk into the ‘Just For Laughs’ audience by mistake????” Dann NEEEEVER stops!! He was still laughing & cracking jokes while the song/choreography in progress. I was like “Well that’s a fun new skill…don’t think I’ve ever seen that one before!!??? How did that whole idol thing happen?? Has he always been this hilarious???” But actually I know that it’s a knee jerk reaction of anxiety, & I was legitimately stunned at everything he was doing. He was carrying like 3 jobs at once so I was like “Ahhhh…he’s one of those…” And due to SEVERAL “technical issues” before & after I had fun making “besties” with Ivan while joking about that. It’s strangely weird to see their MV’s now cus I’m like “This is Kingdom??? Same guys? This is the same bunch of goofballs from the concert?????” Anyway….hope everyone gets to enjoy them as much as I did thnx for the reaction 😊
I had to pause at "It's time to dirty up your halo" because wow, that's an incredible line. I know nothing about this group but I'm enjoying the video and song so far. :)

I love kingdom's lore so much. the music video qualities are insane
We don't talk about the graphics in Black Crown though 😂
Kingdom never disappoints. 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for reaction 👍✌️

they name drop all of their previous title tracks in this one
I think they did all of them beside lltk 🙁
@@Stanhyunjinlosers they did the korean name for lltk

They referenced long live the king's korean title "white night"
@@Sara-fp3zv Thank you so much for correcting me! I forgot the Korean title of that song, so I didn't catch it in the lyrics to Coup D'etat!
So is Hwon's story in Part 2 because he hasn't had a 'History of' yet but the others have 🤔 - A

He might take Chiwoo's position behind Arthur and before Ivan, so we might see his phase 2 album sooner than you think!

Kingdom is very underrated, I enjoy them very much 🤗🤗
Oh is there a reason why there wasn't an outro ? I admit it's been a while since I've been up to date with kpop 😅
I get assassin's creed vibes
