I know you're not a dance person, but Orange Caramel is one of the groups that EVERYONE should watch the dance practices for.
Please he needs to react to dance practice for Catallena
Definitely hahaahah its heartbreaking not to hahaha
Not only that but their dances are so fun, especially My copycat
you're a little right about Catellena MV. It's the reason the song is so iconic till today.
The MV is about female kpop idols and how the industry devalues them.
They start as original and fresh fish of different kinds but when the octopus (high demand girl) comes their value starts falling. Just to keep up with the trend or stay relevant they start dolling up themselves with wasabi and soy sauce (loose their own taste to fit to the preference of the customers) and give sexy poses so they can attract customers ( shows the sexualization of women in the industry and the pressure of standardization that makes them loose individualistic characters). At last they turn into the octopus girl and totally loose themselves but when they are eating their sushi counterparts which is now sold at the lowest price they are reminded of their fresh/original charms/selves from the beginning and start crying.
The song itself also refers to this concept. It says even as a girl I find her attractive. So they think the it girl/octopus deserves more and is more valuable than themselves.
Song is a huge critic of kpop industry from female idols eyes. It shows how female idols are forced to many things to be successful and they have no choice but to obey even if they loose themselves if they want to be relevant.
**PS: the song was also like a lesbian anthem as the lyrics display a woman's attraction to another woman.
Yes, Orange Caramel is so iconic that...tbh, they're like the only sub-unit to overshadow their main group. What's amazing about them is that they never shied away from being wacky and weird, they even embraced it lol.
Yup there's only 3 members, in order of shortest to tallest, Raina, Lizzy, and Nana. Raina is the main vocalist, and Nana is now active as an actress.
Other great songs of theirs are "Magic Girl", "A-ing", "Funny Hunny", "Bangkok City" and "Shanghai Romance", the latter two going on a city theme. And the funny part is they all dress up like Nana in "Bangkok City", and then like Raina in "Shanghai Romance" XD
"Catallena" is so iconic and especially there's a fun montage of their intros of live stages, where they just shout in time, it's hilarious XD Also I wonder if CFs are just made to be extra catchy after all XD
The best explanation I heard regarding the Catallena music video is that’s a metaphor for the K-pop industry. They start as free spirited mermaids and then are turned into sushi (aka trainee years to debut) and become something that people literally consume. That why at the end when they are eating the sushi they start crying while missing their days as mermaids.
The next Orange Caramel songs you should check out “Magic Girl, Aing, Shanghai Romance, Bangkok City” All bops and iconic~~ I think you’d like those ones more for sure, if you ever decided to check them out again.
Oh yeah these are iconic
Magic Girl, Aing, and Bangkok City are imo the legendary trio. Pure camp with shredded camp on top then drizzled with hot melted camp all served with a side of camp.
@@zammich3649 Those, along with Shanghai Romance are my quartet!
OMG I've been waiting for you to react to Orange Caramel. Yes they are very different from the image they portray as After School. They truly are a unique group. Their music I wouldn't say is fully trot but is trot inspired or "trot-like" so like a mix of pop and trot? That's the signature sound of Orange Caramel.
Sidenote: if you look really closely at the guys dancing in the "My Copycat" video, you'll see some Seventeen members, I think Pledis pulled all their trainees out of the basement for that video. The girls dancing later debuted as Pristin. Seventeen also performed with them in some music shows too.
Ooh yes! Whenever I watch the MV, I play a game of spot the trainee.
@@h_githma ooh.. sounds fun 😂😂
Ah yes, Orange Caramel, the Subunit that shines brighter than the main group it was apart of. The amount of people who don’t know that this is a subunit truly speaks volume for how POPULAR Orange Caramel was during their prime and even to this day. Catallena is probably one of the MOST COVERED Kpop songs of all time
I think the statement only applies to post 2nd Gen fans and stans, which would make sense since After School stopped making music and Orange Caramel continued on. But yeah any person who was a Gen 2 fan absolutely knew After School as they were iconic and Orange Caramel carried the torch on well after them.
Ow my GOD. What is this day even? What an iconic group! And I hope we get more After School reactions too! They are one of my fav second gen girl groups.
Pre-debut Seventeen is also on the My Copy Cat MV and sometimes, their live stages.
First of all, I am always so happy when people finally bless their eyes with Queen Visual Im Jinah aka Nana 😌 (the one you kept calling gorgeous, as you should)
Also, you're correct with your darker assumptions about Catallena! The MV caused quite the stir when it came out; a lot of fuss about women being packaged like cheap fish...as in, the entire point...
the member you keep pointing out as gorgeous is NANA and she's the only one left in Pledis as an actress so she's technically HYBE's first actress
Orange Caramel has a special place in my heart and had such a distinct flavor. So much so that when I heard WJSN Chocome for the first time I was thrilled that they were carrying on that legacy.
I love Catallena! I really like the message and satire aspect of the video. You were in the right direction with competition but they're just talking about the value of human lives.
Fun fact: The Catallena MV was banned from Korean TV for "denigrating the value of human life."
Abing Abing demonstrates how Korean advertising technology is far ahead of ours.
Orange Caramel's early stuff was more conventionally cute rather than funny cute, although it was still quirky. They do have an early humorous song (and video), "Funny Hunny" that is off most people's radar for some reason. It can be seen here: th-cam.com/video/8jZOWNNEzUQ/w-d-xo.html
Orange Caramel isn't really trot. Lizzy, however, sings trot. Her solo debut, "Not an Easy Girl" is trot: th-cam.com/video/ipouIsX1phI/w-d-xo.html
The reigning queen of trot today is probably Hong Jin Young; a live performance of her signature song, "Love Battery" can be found here: th-cam.com/video/PkCXsFBjCMw/w-d-xo.html. A more recent song with more pop influence, "Love Tonight" can be found here: th-cam.com/video/5zONW_hyI5A/w-d-xo.html
The queen dowager is probably Jang Yoon Jeong. Her discography is extensive, and many trot singers cover her songs. You should probably just search her name on TH-cam and go down the rabbit hole.
A rising trot star is Yoyomi. Her signature song is "Who's that Guy," the MV of which is here: th-cam.com/video/Wz-_x-rVnZo/w-d-xo.html. A music video of more "traditional" trot song by her can be found here: th-cam.com/video/tw5Xy-RmCoU/w-d-xo.html. Yoyomi is quite active on TH-cam and frequently posts her covers of both trot as well as K-pop songs.
The reigning king of trot is probably Park Hyun-bin. A live performance of his breakout song, "Shebang Shebang," can be found here: th-cam.com/video/Kta0zl-G3lc/w-d-xo.html.
I don't know if you watch Korean TV talk or variety shows, but the nation's MC, Yoo Jae Suk, has made his trot debut under the name Yoo San Seul with two songs: "Hapjeong Station Exit 5" - th-cam.com/video/E_btnbeYGKs/w-d-xo.html - and Redevelopment of Love - th-cam.com/video/gqCt8MlqzTI/w-d-xo.html
Daesung from BIGBANG also has a trot song out, although it is in Japanese since his solo career under the name D-lite is in Japan. Although there is also a Korean version, the official Japanese MV of the song, "Look at me, Gwisun" can be found here: th-cam.com/video/JlG0fz4WvoQ/w-d-xo.html
ooh... what a throwback 😍
can't believe you reacted to orange caramel! they're iconic! I actually expected you not being so much into them even though you said you liked weird stuff and bops, but yeah they're extreme lol thanks for sharing!
The Catallena lives and dance practices were full of sillyness... Especially like the first 10 seconds are so incredible lmao
LMAAOO THEY WERE MY FAVVVVV. that’s why I love red velvet so much too, both groups have such quirky weird concepts SO good
they are a sub-unit from a very iconic girlgroup called After School. they went popular because of Catallena and they are the exact definition of "camp" concept and music
They were very popular and iconic before catallena
keep the 2nd gen girl group reactions coming PLEASE! I love when you do them
Love them! So iconic! Just watched movie with Nana…so beautiful!
When I tell you copycat had me in a chokehold in 2014!! I couldn’t stop doing the dance 😂
Orange Caramel is probably one of the only girl groups I watch reactions to lol. I miss their quirkiness soooo much. None of those songs are on my playlist either, but I love the group so much!
orange caramel was definitely that feel good group similar to crayon pop that just dished out amazing bops with random mv’s that just made sense! 🥰
I love Orange Caramel 💕💕💕 Such an unique group.
Please give VIXX a chance. They are considered concept Kings since their concepts are not you would expect from a usual kpop group
Omg Yes Please!
Oh! I miss them! So much fun 🥳
Finally !!! I love them so much !!!!
YESSSSSSSSSS
YES! abing abing IS an ad for baskin robbins 31 flavors how iconic right
Nana the really visual
Is iconic
GOd they are all so iconic, everyone at some point knew all the songs with their dances specially Catallena omg
YAAAAAAAS
''' this is ridiculous....''
yes my friend welcome to the wonderful world of orange caramel... ridiculous but absolutely brilliant
omg omg orange caramel, I miss them so much ;w;
I love themmmm! I enjoy their lives so much! They sing live and are super stable, plus their outfits are always on point, I love their fashion! My favorites songs are Abing Abing, Aing and Shanghai love!
Orange Caramel song:
Magic Girl
A~ing
Bangkok city
All song from Orange Caramel Vibes by Romanian song, music so funny 😉
seventeen was in their “my copycat”mv！！
I think Abing Abing was the first time I learned that groups did commercial songs like that and it's crazy how they become our favorites 😂
I hope you check out the Copycat videos and at least try to find the Seventeen members!
OMG I LOVE ORANGE CARAMEL
YASSS
finally
I love nana is so beautiful and cute♡♡♡
i love and miss orange caramel 💔💔💔
you are correct most of their music is heavily trot inspired which is what makes them so recognizable
Raina, Lizzy and Nana, some of the top beauties of Kpop, even Nana (The one you said is gorgeous) was TC Candler's The 100 Most Beautiful faces of 2014, 2015 and the face of the 2010's decade, hope you can react to more videos of Orange Caramel like Aing, Magic Girl, Shanghai Romance, Bangkok City, The Gangnam Avenue, those are iconic songs
I looove orange caramel so much!! literally the only girl group I ever followed
THANK YOU SO MUCH AUSTIN
Did you noticethat in "My Copycat" there are members of Seventeen hidden? As well as in the live performances of that song :)
it's probably already mentioned but seventeen were in the my copycat video and there's also a live performance where they are in the crowd. very cute baby svt
also if you ever seen a photo of 3 girls dressed up like christmas trees circulating on twitter every christmastime, that's orange caramel.
catellena.. the juti meri palo meera bit is actually in punjabi.... its means my shoes my sandals..... and its from a really obscure indian wedding song... this group is so random its brilliant
one of all time fav iconic kpop sub units
I successfully get through each day because Orange Caramel exists in this lifetime. WHAT A GIFT THEY ARE
and that's not even factoring in the sheer power Nana had over me and my tumblr for 7 years. Loved this video!
The one you found gorgeous was voted the most beautiful in the world by TC Chandler.
i love orange caramel ^^
Nana 😍😍😍😍😍
They were considered strange but so was Crayon Pop and Six Bomb.
Abing is my favorite OC song even though it was a Baskin Robbins commercial.
Is this trot? 😂 Yes yes it is. Most 2nd gen groups were very much releasing modern pop music that sounded very much like trot which is why it was so popular at the time. But that's also why I was more attracted to groups like SNSD and 2NE1 who were doing music that was outside of that sound.
I LOVE catallena
orange caramel my giiiiirrrrllllsssss
afterschool/orange caramel will always be my girls. i mean look at my profile picture lol
lipstick is my favorite one
miss them so much
Ahh nobody does wacky like Orange Caramel! Their performances are always fun to watch.
Oh wow this is a throwback. WHEW. I can still remember vividly the outrage over Catallena being banned on broadcast.
Please react to more of them
LEGEND GIRL GROP
there were actually a lot of seventeen members & other company artists in the my copycat vid!! (far out orange scene)
Please more funny honey, shanghai romance and bangkok city
Still my favourite girl group of all time, I miss them so much! But at least I can still watch Nana in dramas 😍
You should also react to their song Aing.
Shanghai Romance is my favourite one🥺
If you want to focus on their vocal, the song is a good choice.
please react to their dance practices or live performances of catallena. they are so iconic.
Literally,especially the ahh part
Little fun fact but in My Copycat in the scenes with lots of people you can see the members of Seventeen before they debuted haha
PLS do more after school and orange caramel they eattt
the best sub unit in history, i said what i said. thats it.
the Catallena MV is very interesting actually. If I'm not wrong it was about admiring someone (the octopus lady), but since she became so full of herself she became a bad person and ended up being chosen by no one in the sushi bar. But there are also some references to female explotation in the kpop industry (put into plastic packages, sold together) and also letting go of the past (when they eat 'themselves').
Hong Jin Young would be a great artist for you to check out Trot music. Her most popular song is Love Battery
Fun fact you can play an extra game and try and find svt in my copycat
btw, we need more pentagon please
LOL predebut seventeen was there in the crowd scenes of my copycat mv
Ooooh i love orange caramel songs
And i prefer their older songs more like magic girls, aing, Bangkok city and shanghai romance 😍😍😍
The musical concept of Orange Caramel was more geared toward cute J-POP rather than actual Trot. For a time the beautiful Nana was on par as a CF Queen in the same league as Yoona, Suzy and Seolhyun. She's still going strong as an actress. Raina had some success solo and was considered one of the better singers in KPOP and an OST Queen for a time but faded till she appeared on Miss Back and signed with a new agency. Lizzy got busted for a DUI accident in 2021, had her contract canceled and went to jail!
오카는 한국에서는 두번다시나올수없는 독보적인 써브유닛이다ㅋㅋ진짜최고다
Aing Aing is very iconic , lots of idols did covers to that song
The music in lipstick:💃💃💃
The lyrics:🚩🚩🚩🚩
Anyway, orange caramel being superior 💕💕💕
You should definitely look into catallena's lyrics
Note Abing Abing was a video based on Baskin Robbins was a sponsor of the band snd they rolled out s new flavor of zice Cream and this video was a promotion for that flavor.
I think many of the people in these videos were famous. Well famous in Korea at least. They were fairly big and lots of people wanted to be in their videos.
Too bad you didn't do Magic Girl ir was their first big hit.
I would have maybe replaced My Copycat or Abing Abing with "Bangkok City", because that was their most popular and best-charting song.
nana visual of the century iktr
seventeen pre-debut days in "My Copycat" MV lolololol
If you look closely, you can see pre-debut seventeen in my copycat 😁
Abing Abing is a CF song, collaboration with Baskin Robbins.
Pls more miss A and suzy mv💗💗💗💗💗
Seventeen members in Copycat
React more to orange caramel please
For catallena the girls in the end regret changing bc they're not theur true self, notice their clothes look like the octopus lady (popular one)
1 word to describe Orange Caramel is ridiculous, but in a good way 🙂
I can say u can check San E fear Raina for After School
A midsummer night and Sugar Candy
4:11 "this is so weird.' Me: You ain't seen nothing yet! Here is one of many "Catallena" intro compilations. th-cam.com/video/5HPif4zan6Q/w-d-xo.html
Orange Caramel seems to be indeed more on a Trot music, or at least the funky concepts, far from their main group, AFTER SCHOOL.
In "My Copycat" MV, in the right-up corner it shows how many differences are between the two pictures.
