@@LKTVLKTV New subscriber here! Thank you for reacting to ASTRO please react to JINJIN's MADMAX and HAVE A NICE DAY by ROCKY. I'm telling you they seriously need a unit for their rappers!
A little trivia. After crazy sexy cool, their agency, Fantagio, went under fire and had to deal with several lawsuits. They have to change CEO and the management and because of this, All of ASTRO's activities had to be put on hold for almost a year. Due to being idle, some left the fandom. When they came back with Rise Up and had always you as the title track (which by the way was never promoted), the song talks of the difficulties the group went through. If you listen to some parts of the lyrics, It's as if ASTRO is calling out to Arohas, asking if they're still there and how the group missed their fans. Always You would always have a special place for the fandom.
I haven't know about this information before and the difficulty that astro went through but latterly this song is my favourite one its really touched my heart ❤
we genuinely were afraid they were gonna be forced to disband. and so when they came out of hiatus we were so so fricken happy and always you was such a meaningful song
I've been a fan of Astro for a long time. Always You, while not my favourite song in their discography, holds a special place in my heart. Even though there were no English subtitles at the time, I feel like most Arohas understood the message and it had me bawling my eyes out for hours. I'm really proud of how far Astro has come. Their long hiatus period really defined their wishes for Astro to not just be a popular group, but an everlasting one; so that they're able to bounce back from long periods of the unknown and spend lots of time with their fans. I think Astro's music has a sense of longing, whether it be familial, platonic, romantic, or for oneself's identity, and their songs always emphasise the importance of appreciating, protecting and understanding these feelings. Thank you so much for reacting and enjoying Astro!
So I just finished binge watching your other Astro reactions and can I just say I LOVE your reactions?!?! Like you're not just sitting there quietly listening you know? You make it entertaining for us who have already seen what you're reacting to and it's just entertaining reactions. Also your reactions are super nice and very respectful so thank you for your work! Anyway thank you for appreciating Astro I hope to see more reactions from you soon :)
Killing powerful vocals - MJ Stoic, deep voice rapper - Jin Jin Ace, rapper, singer, most beautiful dancer - Rocky The face and usually the start of all MVs - Cha Eunwoo Sexy body rolls, shows skin and sexy facial expressions - Moonbin Tall, beautiful, vocally perfect maknae (you compared to Soobin) - Sanha
А ещё Мунбин -главный танцор, центр, невероятный вокалист, актёр, модель, который был направляющей силой этой группы.У него огромный опыт и реальный талант был, чтобы бы он не захотел сделать-обязательно доведёт до совершенства. Очень грустно, что фанаты так плохо описывают участников, не только Рокки танцор, Бин с детства занимался танцами и вокалом . И у него всё отлично получалось. И да, он был отличный спортсмен и очень сексуальный, но это не мешало ему быть таким простым и добрым, к сожалению...
Blue Flame is the song that brings me Astro. It has an special part in my heart 💜 but I love all the songs because you enjoy the voices, choreography, visuals.
Astro have actually gone through SO much, it actually breaks my heart. Back at the end of 2017, Fantagio's main shareholders (at that time a Chinese company who had gradually bought most of their shares over the past 2 years) suddenly executed a full-on business takeover of the company and fired the Korean CEO (who had created and owned Fantagio up until that point). They got rid of a lot of the Korean board members too, and a ton of others resigned in support of the old CEO, who went on to create a new acting label. Fantagio Music is a branch of the main Fantagio company, but without a CEO who held the necessary music licensing/distribution certificate (something you can't just BUY, Korea has pretty strict standards and also kinda gatekeeps who can produce music in the industry), Fantagio Music were essentially unable to produce/distribute any songs from any of their 3 groups for almost a year. The takeover by the Chinese investors also affected their stocks a lot, Fantagio lost a TON of money within the space of a few weeks - ex employees reported that the company bank cards were frozen, so managers were buying and paying for expenses themselves to try to get the idols to schedules. Astro even bought food for Arohas out of their own savings during a fan-meetup sports event, because they couldn't use the company cards. It took almost 10 months for the situation to resolve, and that had a huge impact on Astro's then-growing fanbase. A lot of Arohas stayed loyal, but a big portion of fans who had just started taking an interest quickly forgot about Astro. The company's financial situation went from bad to worse, and for a long time there was a big risk that Astro, Weki Meki and Hello Venus would all be disbanded in 2018. (Sadly because of the money they lost, Hello Venus disbanded the following year anyway when their contracts expired. :( ) 'Always You' was actually released in very uncertain times and with minimal fanfare because they still weren't officially allowed to promote on any of the main music shows. But Astro wanted to send a message of thanks and reassurance to any fans who were still with them, the mini album was a gift and a promise that they were still fighting to stay together. And that's why the lyrics in "Always You" are so meaningful. Astro wrote the song themselves, especially JinJin, to voice their fears and hopes - "are you still there", because they knew their fandom was shrinking, and "I want to come to you" because they were desperate to interact with fans again. MJ standing in an empty room full of chairs was a way to show that they were aware of how many people had drifted away from the group. Running through the corridors because they were still chasing their dreams, eventually all the doors come together in one place and all 6 members of Astro come together as one - a promise that they intend to stay together as a group, no matter what happens. The boys actually talked about their experiences much later, how often they worried about what might happen if the company had to disband them, and how they all made the decision as a group that they would stick together no matter what. Eunwoo also worked himself half to death doing acting/modelling/presenting/TV shows for the whole of their hiatus even during that very stressful time, because he was essentially keeping Astro afloat when they couldn't do any other work. So yeah, Astro have been through HELL and back, but came out the other side stronger and closer than ever, and Arohas love them for it. (Also in good news, the Chinese company/dodgy CEO who had caused this whole mess was later arrested and charged with money laundering back in China, so Fantagio are no longer under their control and that's why Astro and Weki Meki are doing so much better. :) )
This difficult time rallied them stronger than a family. And maybe this is another reason why Astro always thank Eunwoo for his hard work outside of the group. I respect his incredible hard work and willpower. This is something I don't have. I admire him. I admire Astro.
Thank you so much for your appreciation and I'm so happy to hear your reactions... ASTRO are really amazing and talented boys... And I agree in everything you said about them I love your reaction videos about ASTRO... Keep it up... Can't wait for the next...
I’m coming back again and again to this channel because of this MV reaction to ASTRO. Thank you for this reaction to our 6 shining stars. I’m proud to be an ASTRO fan.
I'm gonna try to help a bit with faces to names, tho I'm not sure if my descriptions would be of help to anyone but me. I'll still try tho. Moonbin: Killer facial expressions and shows off his body the most. Eunwoo: Angel looking dude, mainly always has black or dark brown hair, from what I've seen at least. MJ: Shortest vocalist, does a lot of high notes. Sanha: The one that reminds you of Soobin. Has a pretty round squishy looking face. Rocky: Taller rapper that has higher cheekbones. JinJin: The shortest rapper the kind of looks like a squirrel mixed with a rabbit or something like that. I didn't do these in age order since that technically doesn't matter for knowing faces to names. I just put vocalists first and then the rappers. As far as I know no one else is a dedicated rapper.
Was waiting for your reaction to Moonbin's shoulder thing lol!!! Moonbin KNOWS he's hot, he doesn't have to be so rude about it!! XD All Night was SO visually pleasing.
arohas always say that as astro became older and matured (sanha was 15/16 at debut), their sound and concept matured, too. astro hasn't had an awkward concept stage because they grew into what they do now. i've been around for six years and i'm very happy to finally see people genuinely enjoying them throughout it all, it was super difficult to find when they only had what they did in 2016-2017. loving the content, thank you!
Loved your reaction!! Also, Always You has a special meaning to Astro and Arohas. In 2018, lawsuits were filed against CEO of their company, Fantagio. The CEO had to step down. Since there was no one in the CEO position for quite some time, the shares of their company started to fall down. At that time Astro weren't sure if they would be able to make a comeback(same with Weki Meki). They were appearing in some variety shows, but there was no official updates on their comeback. After a really long wait, they released this special album 'Rise Up'. All members participated in writing the lyrics. The lyrics are directly meant for the fans. After completing your reactions to Astro's official MVs, I hope you react to their special MVs , You & Me (2017) ,Call Out (2018), One in a Million (2019) and We Still-Be With You (2020).
Astro was very intentional about waiting for their maknae Sanha to become an adult before venturing into the darker/sexier concepts which I think was so admirable of them. Blue Flame is still my favourite too, still can’t believe it didn’t get the win it deserved it was that song for me! Lastly a fan theory In the MV for Always you where others have mentioned their careers as idols was in Jeopardy due to company troubles you see Sanha in the car with a few plants I think that represents how the fandom had shrunk during their long hiatus. Their next proper comeback after Rise Up was their first full album All Lights with All Night as the title track and Astro got their first win with that song. In the MV do All Night you see them in the garden and it’s full and lush again representing how happy they are that their fandom stayed and grew, it’s thriving once again and we are all thankful that Astro didn’t disband :)
I love how Astro shows growth in each come back and release. I think this is because most of the members where very young at the time of debut and most boy groups then where already into sexy,hard, darker themes and concepts and they might be have been swallowed up with all that as a rookie band. But the concept astro debuted with was so unusual for a boy band , they where giving so much colorful and cheerful vibes with intricately laid out choreographies in the first releases so it helped them stand out, while also giving the younger members enough time to mature to be able to fit into a more mature concept and get even better such that you can't help to notice how much better each member is becoming with each come back. The growth that shocked me the most is that of their youngest member Sanha lol. He is no longer the baby we knew at the time of their debut. They no longer look like teenage boys now, unlike when they started, that's why the mature concepts keeps blowing our minds with each come back. Their fans also grew with them and makes us appreciate them even more. Seriously Astro deserves so much more recognition because they are over talented. I loved your reaction and I'm looking forward to more.
The one killing the facial expressions without a shirt (🙄🙄 Like fucking pls SPARE us sir) That is MOONBIN!! Such a lovely visual. MJ is the one hitting all those high notes towards the end of most of their songs. MJ is their Main vocal. With an especially pretty smile 😭🥺
This aroha is spoiled in this channel. Your assessment of the group is pretty spot on! Musicality, stage presence, concept and not to forget the visuals is amazing with thos group. Hence it’s hard to pick a bias and hard to pick a favorite song. Also, each songs in ther album (full or mini) are worth listening to!
The rapper in Always You that you thought was Rocky, is JinJin haha. Rocky was actually singing in the majority of the song, so I get how you could've gotten confused. Rocky is an amazing vocalist and even sings in many of their bsides. Sometimes does high notes too 👀
Like others have said, this exploration of yours is such a good thing for Arohas and those who maybe weren't as aware of ASTRO's back catalog if they got in just at ONE. The bright, boyish, middle-to-high school vibe they started with seemed to reflect who they were then, and as they've matured, so have their concepts. Sanha (who Soobin looks like, not the other way around!) as the maknae only recently started showing off the more mature side of himself as he became an adult, and I'm really proud of them that they held off doing the dark sexy stuff until he was able to really participate rather than emulate/fake that (not that being 21 or whatever turns you into an emotional adult!). "Always You" is so emotional once you know the story behind it (and others have told it here), and you nailed the vibe right away that it's sad, and longing in a different way than the others. It seems to mark the emotional changing point between the late high school and into the college years and beyond concept changes. While "Crazy Sexy Cool" had a boarding school video, the vibe reads young and having fun, where in All Night we get the more college years versions, with a bit of the sexy concept (and angelic everyone), and by Blue Flame we're on spring break with a vengeance. I'm so glad you're watching them, and more that you're loving them. They deserve all the love. Thank you! (Oh, and do watch Pastel Kookie's 2021 Guide, since it's informative and well done and will help you get your member names dialed in easily)
It's kinda really dangerous to continue watching their MVs cause if you do, I'm sure you will be one of us. 😁 Thank you for appreciating Astro. You made us prouder Aroha. Can't wait to watch the remaining mv reaction.
astro are the underrated choreo kings of kpop! i hope you check out some of their dance practices cuz they’re insane! especially Baby, Again, and All Night!
Thank you for reaction to ASTRO 💜, I love it, they are the most full Kpop group, they have talent, carism, vocals, visual, are cutie, are funny, are sexy, everything. From an AROHA 😌😍
This is why it's fun to look at astro from their debut til now cause you'll see how much they've grown (in all aspects) and the range of concepts they can pull off :) hope you continue to enjoy their music!
In Always You MV this last scene wasn’t under water. Moonbin was jumping on the trampoline with this dark background and some fans were on. They recorded some behind the scenes from this mv
Thank you so much for ur reaction!! Really appreciate it. I Hope more people will recognize them well because they’re really amazing!! If you see “Always You” live performance on their ASTROAD Concert i’m sure you’ll get goosebumps bcs the song is really good and it’s so meaningful to Aroha 💜 Once again thx for this reaction ^^
I can't wait for you to get into their Dance practices and B-Sides! They have such an amazing Discogaphy. Their physical albums are also beautiful, they have some of my favourite photo books!
The man killing the facial expression is moonbin ❤️ hes the lead vocal main dancer , center of the group . The one hitting the high notes is mj (main vocalist , happy virus)❤️ The one with the bass voice rap is jinjin(main rapper , lead dancer , leader❤️ ) And the one with flowy rap is rocky❤️(main dancer, lead rapper , vocalist ) Sanha is the one that looks like soobin ( main vocal and dancer❤️ maknae ) Eunwoo you guessed it correct . Hes the vocalist ,visual of the group . Hes a allrounder
I CLICKED SO FAST. 12:17 is Moonbin! Sorry, our binnie can't help it, he's just naturally sexy without even trying LOL. That's Astro actually, if you noticed none of them tried to act sexy and yet they are hot as hell. MJ's the one doing all the high notes! For the rapline, Jin Jin is the one with the deeper voice at 12:06
Some of their b title tracks that are underrated as they don’t have MVs or were not performed/promoted as much in music shows IMO are Again, Run, Moonwalk, Because it’s You, Star, 12 hours - but yeah these 3 were the songs that I think got a lot of people to notice Astro as it was clear they were now embracing a more mature sound / concept but still keeping that refreshing Astro sound they are known for 🥰 love love your reaction and this group! Hope they get more awards and milestones for All Yours this year!
Ah I didn’t know you were getting into Astro!! I love Astro. I feel like their footwork is up to par w/ groups like SVT, Stray Kids, The Boyz, etc. I admire their dance so much, they’re overall talented af.
@@LKTVLKTV OMG don’t get me started w/ their comeback lmao it’s so different. This color suites them so well though. Also I’m glad you were able to fix your sleeping schedule! I literally felt your struggle all the way from the other side of the world LOL when you had to pull that all nighter. Hahaha but you did it 💪 so I hope you’re getting better rest nowadays.
you don't know how happy i am that you appreciate these talented boys.. oh my God.. they deserved all the love and recognition this world can offer... thank you so much... ASTRO is my first and only kpop group.. they open kpop and kdrama in my boring life.. they are worth a stan.. please continue on discovering ASTRO, thank you
fantagio was inexpert in the kpop industry, and didn’t make Astro promotions that well at the beginning and didn’t give them a lot of budget! 😟😭😔 in 2018 fantagio went through a really difficult time. like, for real. it almost disappear! and Astro practically didn’t work for the whole 2018. But at the end of that year everything got better and when they got back to stage in Seúl was so emotional 😭 Then they got their first win in January of 2019 with All night which make them cry so much and myself 😅😭, and probably Fantagio saw that Astro was the key to get out of the mess they had so the budget for Astro went up! ⬆️ again. thank you so much for reacting to our boys.
if you are whipped by their title tracks, i suggest try to watch their live performances and their ballad songs are just so lit, the lyrics can make you cry coz you'd like really feel the genuineness of these talented boys
Incredible reaction! These 3 songs are my favorites! But my number one is Always You, it's so emotional ... But they are very talented! It's beautiful to see every MV! And they are great singers, rappers and dancers ... But I think they are very underrated ... :( Did you watch ONE? It's perfect too! They always surprise me! ❤️
It looks like most other comments have answered your questions lol. Moonbin is my bias!!! All Night is my fave out of these 3 but Crazy Sexy Cool has always been my favorite overall.
Blue flame was my first song from Astro (and first Astro album i bought)! So gorgeous and sexy! My favourite of this 3 is Always you, so beautiful and touching! But i think my favourite title track from Astro is Knock!
12:17 that’s the crispiest "fuck" i’ve ever heard LMFAOOO i’m legit cackling 😂 i’m loving all your astro videos! thanks so much for supporting them! edit: btw the facially expressive one you’re talking about is Moonbin :>
I wasn't an Aroha yet during Always You but ever since I have known what they had gone through, my tears fall everytime I listen to it with that in mind. Thanks so much for appreciating them! Another Astro reaction I enjoyed. :) I love these three songs and I can't choose which one I like most coz they each hit differently.
I loved the genuineness of your reaction! I re-rediscovered my love for Astro's music just by watching your last few videos of Astro. It seems that you are reacting to the title tracks mostly, and I appreciate the fact that you're going chronologically, which is the best way to recognize how much the group has grown with time (and you even mention this!). I would very strongly, highly recommend you also check out "When you call my name" when you see "Knock" (both songs are of the album "Gateway", which was the group's comeback album last year). The song does not have an MV, only live stages. It doesn't matter if you don't post your reaction to it, but do check out one of the stages of that song, literally any one. I recommend this especially because you're following their progress with time and have already got a taste of their versatility, particularly in terms of the transition from the playful, cute stuff to the darker, more sensual, vibe. I'm sure you'll be blown away.
2:23 is JINJIN 2;32 is ROCKY (ambos raperos , sobre todo Rocky, también cantan) 3;14 ROCKY seguido por JINJIN (JINJIN es el que tiene el cabello verde)
I'm a bit of envy, you can understand Korean and it is great, of these 3 songs I cannot choose a favorite I like all of them, the lyrics are full of feelings that we have all had and the videos are beautiful
Thank you for watching today guys! We have more Astro coming over on Patreon next week! Feel free to come on over if you'd like to watch more with me! ❤️ patreon.com/lktv/
thanks for reacting to ASTRO, you should also watch ONE, it's the new single released this month
That was my first video I did for them - it’s in that playlist I mentioned 🤕🥲
@@LKTVLKTV New subscriber here! Thank you for reacting to ASTRO please react to JINJIN's MADMAX and HAVE A NICE DAY by ROCKY. I'm telling you they seriously need a unit for their rappers!

we genuinely were afraid they were gonna be forced to disband. and so when they came out of hiatus we were so so fricken happy and always you was such a meaningful song
A period of time Arohas wish to never relive but Always You will always tug at my heart differently than any of their ballads
Rocky and Moonbin are the most senior (who have been staying in FANTAGIO for the longest time)
Omg! Thanks for this information since some of new Aroha didn't know! Our boys are so strong always!

Thank you Im literally crying while reading this. i love them just before i knew this and now im loving them more.
This difficult time rallied them stronger than a family. And maybe this is another reason why Astro always thank Eunwoo for his hard work outside of the group. I respect his incredible hard work and willpower. This is something I don't have. I admire him. I admire Astro.
Thank you for your explanation. Love em’ more.
In all the songs I love most Mj"s part. I really love is wonderful voice and visual.
Thank you so much for your appreciation and I'm so happy to hear your reactions... ASTRO are really amazing and talented boys... And I agree in everything you said about them I love your reaction videos about ASTRO... Keep it up... Can't wait for the next...
They still kept their innocence at B-stage like Knock era's When You Call My Name and ONE era's All Good !!!
I love your reactions tks!!!
Always you is the best
it's the "it changes everyday" for me 😂 yes sir. same. same. 😅 try checking out When You Call My Name. it's a mood booster. ☺️
The guy "giving face" (and needing to put on a shirt) in the Blue Flame MV is Moonbin. He is an amazing dancer, vocalist, visual and actor. My bias 💙.
Yeah, more singning, dancing but less shirt😇
And now i remember who moonbin looks like... Patric Swayze.... (american dancer actor).
I’m coming back again and again to this channel because of this MV reaction to ASTRO. Thank you for this reaction to our 6 shining stars. I’m proud to be an ASTRO fan.
Thanks for Reacting to ASTRO!! 💜 All night of ASTRO is the most aesthetic music video!
Astro is always best..... They every time tries their best to make their Arohas happy 😊 love your reaction 😍
MJ vocals are no joke 🙌🏼 he has a amazing voice. Also he debuted in a Trot group called Super 5. You can check for curiosity.
Blue Flame and Knock. ❤
Thank you for sharing the Astro video. They are amazing group.
I'm gonna try to help a bit with faces to names, tho I'm not sure if my descriptions would be of help to anyone but me. I'll still try tho.
Moonbin: Killer facial expressions and shows off his body the most.
Eunwoo: Angel looking dude, mainly always has black or dark brown hair, from what I've seen at least.
MJ: Shortest vocalist, does a lot of high notes.
Sanha: The one that reminds you of Soobin. Has a pretty round squishy looking face.
Rocky: Taller rapper that has higher cheekbones.
JinJin: The shortest rapper the kind of looks like a squirrel mixed with a rabbit or something like that.
I didn't do these in age order since that technically doesn't matter for knowing faces to names. I just put vocalists first and then the rappers. As far as I know no one else is a dedicated rapper.
Blue Flame is THAT song, i agree, was the one that made me stan them
ITS SO GOD DAMN GOOD
you're so right👍🏻. every comeback, my favorite astro song changes 🥴
Was waiting for your reaction to Moonbin's shoulder thing lol!!! Moonbin KNOWS he's hot, he doesn't have to be so rude about it!! XD All Night was SO visually pleasing.
arohas always say that as astro became older and matured (sanha was 15/16 at debut), their sound and concept matured, too. astro hasn't had an awkward concept stage because they grew into what they do now. i've been around for six years and i'm very happy to finally see people genuinely enjoying them throughout it all, it was super difficult to find when they only had what they did in 2016-2017. loving the content, thank you!
I love how you react to ASTRO’s M/Vs ... 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️
Aw thank you Elizabeth! You're so kind!
Loved your reaction!!
Also, Always You has a special meaning to Astro and Arohas. In 2018, lawsuits were filed against CEO of their company, Fantagio. The CEO had to step down. Since there was no one in the CEO position for quite some time, the shares of their company started to fall down.
At that time Astro weren't sure if they would be able to make a comeback(same with Weki Meki). They were appearing in some variety shows, but there was no official updates on their comeback. After a really long wait, they released this special album 'Rise Up'. All members participated in writing the lyrics. The lyrics are directly meant for the fans.
After completing your reactions to Astro's official MVs, I hope you react to their special MVs , You & Me (2017) ,Call Out (2018), One in a Million (2019) and We Still-Be With You (2020).
Thanks my friend! I had a very strong feeling that it was a fan song, so thanks for letting me know! Big love to you!
@@LKTVLKTV they actually have a lot of fan song like you and me
Astro was very intentional about waiting for their maknae Sanha to become an adult before venturing into the darker/sexier concepts which I think was so admirable of them.
Blue Flame is still my favourite too, still can’t believe it didn’t get the win it deserved it was that song for me!
Lastly a fan theory In the MV for Always you where others have mentioned their careers as idols was in Jeopardy due to company troubles you see Sanha in the car with a few plants I think that represents how the fandom had shrunk during their long hiatus. Their next proper comeback after Rise Up was their first full album All Lights with All Night as the title track and Astro got their first win with that song. In the MV do All Night you see them in the garden and it’s full and lush again representing how happy they are that their fandom stayed and grew, it’s thriving once again and we are all thankful that Astro didn’t disband :)
Oh wow this is a triple threat video, all my favourite Astro songs of all time! I’m not ready for you to freak out over how good they are hehe 🥰💜
I love how Astro shows growth in each come back and release. I think this is because most of the members where very young at the time of debut and most boy groups then where already into sexy,hard, darker themes and concepts and they might be have been swallowed up with all that as a rookie band.
But the concept astro debuted with was so unusual for a boy band , they where giving so much colorful and cheerful vibes with intricately laid out choreographies in the first releases so it helped them stand out, while also giving the younger members enough time to mature to be able to fit into a more mature concept and get even better such that you can't help to notice how much better each member is becoming with each come back.
The growth that shocked me the most is that of their youngest member Sanha lol. He is no longer the baby we knew at the time of their debut. They no longer look like teenage boys now, unlike when they started, that's why the mature concepts keeps blowing our minds with each come back.
Their fans also grew with them and makes us appreciate them even more. Seriously Astro deserves so much more recognition because they are over talented.
I loved your reaction and I'm looking forward to more.
The one killing the facial expressions without a shirt (🙄🙄 Like fucking pls SPARE us sir) That is MOONBIN!! Such a lovely visual.
MJ is the one hitting all those high notes towards the end of most of their songs. MJ is their Main vocal. With an especially pretty smile 😭🥺
This aroha is spoiled in this channel. Your assessment of the group is pretty spot on! Musicality, stage presence, concept and not to forget the visuals is amazing with thos group. Hence it’s hard to pick a bias and hard to pick a favorite song. Also, each songs in ther album (full or mini) are worth listening to!
This just re-awakened my love for Blue Flame😂😭 I was obsessed with this song, i haven't listened to it in so long i forgot how good it was
The rapper in Always You that you thought was Rocky, is JinJin haha. Rocky was actually singing in the majority of the song, so I get how you could've gotten confused. Rocky is an amazing vocalist and even sings in many of their bsides. Sometimes does high notes too 👀
Rocky rocks😎
Like others have said, this exploration of yours is such a good thing for Arohas and those who maybe weren't as aware of ASTRO's back catalog if they got in just at ONE. The bright, boyish, middle-to-high school vibe they started with seemed to reflect who they were then, and as they've matured, so have their concepts. Sanha (who Soobin looks like, not the other way around!) as the maknae only recently started showing off the more mature side of himself as he became an adult, and I'm really proud of them that they held off doing the dark sexy stuff until he was able to really participate rather than emulate/fake that (not that being 21 or whatever turns you into an emotional adult!). "Always You" is so emotional once you know the story behind it (and others have told it here), and you nailed the vibe right away that it's sad, and longing in a different way than the others. It seems to mark the emotional changing point between the late high school and into the college years and beyond concept changes. While "Crazy Sexy Cool" had a boarding school video, the vibe reads young and having fun, where in All Night we get the more college years versions, with a bit of the sexy concept (and angelic everyone), and by Blue Flame we're on spring break with a vengeance. I'm so glad you're watching them, and more that you're loving them. They deserve all the love. Thank you! (Oh, and do watch Pastel Kookie's 2021 Guide, since it's informative and well done and will help you get your member names dialed in easily)
Thank you for stanning astro
It's kinda really dangerous to continue watching their MVs cause if you do, I'm sure you will be one of us. 😁 Thank you for appreciating Astro. You made us prouder Aroha. Can't wait to watch the remaining mv reaction.
astro are the underrated choreo kings of kpop! i hope you check out some of their dance practices cuz they’re insane! especially Baby, Again, and All Night!
I love your reaction! ASTRO = ART!
We still and blue flame is my favorite
But the story behind blue flame era broke my 💔. ...
ASTRO IS THE BEST 💜
The man with the oozing expression is moon bin. I'd really love it if you'll know them by face the soonest ♥️
And by the way, you give the very satisfying reactions. I literally vibe with you ♥️ hoping for another reaction video from Astro ✨♥️
Thank you for reaction to ASTRO 💜, I love it, they are the most full Kpop group, they have talent, carism, vocals, visual, are cutie, are funny, are sexy, everything. From an AROHA 😌😍
This is why it's fun to look at astro from their debut til now cause you'll see how much they've grown (in all aspects) and the range of concepts they can pull off :) hope you continue to enjoy their music!
this is my first time here and waaa he gives off such good vibes
Thank you for watching and enjoying Astro. I am very happy as an Astra fan. please keep watching Astro. thank you again. 🤧🤧💜💜💜💜
Yesss these boys honestly deserve so much more attention, they’re not just the group that Eunwoo is in
The are all att ahighlevel...
Always you is my absolute favourite Astro song, you should check out a stage performance, the chroreo is stunning
In Always You MV this last scene wasn’t under water. Moonbin was jumping on the trampoline with this dark background and some fans were on. They recorded some behind the scenes from this mv
Thank you so much for ur reaction!! Really appreciate it. I Hope more people will recognize them well because they’re really amazing!! If you see “Always You” live performance on their ASTROAD Concert i’m sure you’ll get goosebumps bcs the song is really good and it’s so meaningful to Aroha 💜
Once again thx for this reaction ^^
I can't wait for you to get into their Dance practices and B-Sides! They have such an amazing Discogaphy. Their physical albums are also beautiful, they have some of my favourite photo books!
Your reaction always puts me in a good mood 😢 thankyou for reacting to Astro. They’re the best for me.
The man killing the facial expression is moonbin ❤️ hes the lead vocal main dancer , center of the group .
The one hitting the high notes is mj (main vocalist , happy virus)❤️
The one with the bass voice rap is jinjin(main rapper , lead dancer , leader❤️ )
And the one with flowy rap is rocky❤️(main dancer, lead rapper , vocalist )
Sanha is the one that looks like soobin ( main vocal and dancer❤️ maknae )
Eunwoo you guessed it correct . Hes the vocalist ,visual of the group . Hes a allrounder
Sanha is lead vocalist too
Sanha is lead vocalist, not main vocalist (3rd vocalist, 1st is MJ, 2nd is Moonbin)
12:18 - Moonbin
Always you never fails to hit me in the feels!
The disrespectful one is Moonbin!
I CLICKED SO FAST. 12:17 is Moonbin! Sorry, our binnie can't help it, he's just naturally sexy without even trying LOL. That's Astro actually, if you noticed none of them tried to act sexy and yet they are hot as hell. MJ's the one doing all the high notes! For the rapline, Jin Jin is the one with the deeper voice at 12:06
Moonbin is the Hunk without shirt. Been cover on GQ magazine as well... No wounder😎
Some of their b title tracks that are underrated as they don’t have MVs or were not performed/promoted as much in music shows IMO are Again, Run, Moonwalk, Because it’s You, Star, 12 hours - but yeah these 3 were the songs that I think got a lot of people to notice Astro as it was clear they were now embracing a more mature sound / concept but still keeping that refreshing Astro sound they are known for 🥰 love love your reaction and this group! Hope they get more awards and milestones for All Yours this year!
Ah I didn’t know you were getting into Astro!! I love Astro. I feel like their footwork is up to par w/ groups like SVT, Stray Kids, The Boyz, etc. I admire their dance so much, they’re overall talented af.
BRO I’ve been THROWN into then since their comeback 🤡 I’m absolutely loving them Jess! I can’t wait to dive into them more with you! ❤️
@@LKTVLKTV OMG don’t get me started w/ their comeback lmao it’s so different. This color suites them so well though. Also I’m glad you were able to fix your sleeping schedule! I literally felt your struggle all the way from the other side of the world LOL when you had to pull that all nighter. Hahaha but you did it 💪 so I hope you’re getting better rest nowadays.
Always here for Astro! Loved you reaction!
Thank you so much Nat! ❤️
Blue Flame and All Night are still living rent-free in my mind.
YEEEES THEY’RE SO GOOD!
Thank you so much for reacting to astro, they keep working so hard every comeback and they deserve yo be seen
you don't know how happy i am that you appreciate these talented boys.. oh my God.. they deserved all the love and recognition this world can offer... thank you so much... ASTRO is my first and only kpop group.. they open kpop and kdrama in my boring life.. they are worth a stan.. please continue on discovering ASTRO, thank you
Glad too see you enjoying Astro! Your reactions are always so fun to watch, just an overall entertaining guy
Aw this is really lovely Rome! Thank you!
Bro I just wanna say I really enjoy how much you enjoy listening to music. Thanks for the good vibes!
Thanks so much Brittany! 🥺
fantagio was inexpert in the kpop industry, and didn’t make Astro promotions that well at the beginning and didn’t give them a lot of budget! 😟😭😔 in 2018 fantagio went through a really difficult time. like, for real. it almost disappear! and Astro practically didn’t work for the whole 2018. But at the end of that year everything got better and when they got back to stage in Seúl was so emotional 😭 Then they got their first win in January of 2019 with All night which make them cry so much and myself 😅😭, and probably Fantagio saw that Astro was the key to get out of the mess they had so the budget for Astro went up! ⬆️
again. thank you so much for reacting to our boys.
if you are whipped by their title tracks, i suggest try to watch their live performances and their ballad songs are just so lit, the lyrics can make you cry coz you'd like really feel the genuineness of these talented boys
All Night and Always You are my favorite from them
🔥🔥
I love Astro too
me: I'm upset I need serotonin
lktv: don't worry my child I gotchu
I GOTCHU MY CHILD ❤️ I hope you’re feeling a little better today!
It's "Always you" that brought me to Astro.
You're not the only one who thinks that sanha looks like soobin. The entire fandom does 😂
Astro 🌟💜
Incredible reaction! These 3 songs are my favorites! But my number one is Always You, it's so emotional ... But they are very talented! It's beautiful to see every MV! And they are great singers, rappers and dancers ... But I think they are very underrated ... :( Did you watch ONE? It's perfect too! They always surprise me! ❤️
Astro the Best kpop grup 💜
In the Always You MV, where it looks like they're underwater, Moonbin is actually on a trampoline. ㅋㅋ the editing is insane.
I have seen these so many times already but I am still enjoying looking at them again with you :) Thank you for the reaction!
It looks like most other comments have answered your questions lol. Moonbin is my bias!!! All Night is my fave out of these 3 but Crazy Sexy Cool has always been my favorite overall.
Blue flame was my first song from Astro (and first Astro album i bought)! So gorgeous and sexy!
My favourite of this 3 is Always you, so beautiful and touching!
But i think my favourite title track from Astro is Knock!
I really want you to react on their "When You Call My Name" stage. Really cute concept. And another one "Again" dance practice.
Love your reaction on Astro 💜 ❤️
Yey Astro again💗⭐
I was waiting for this YES 🥰
12:17 that’s the crispiest "fuck" i’ve ever heard LMFAOOO i’m legit cackling 😂 i’m loving all your astro videos! thanks so much for supporting them!
edit: btw the facially expressive one you’re talking about is Moonbin :>
THE VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF HOW WE BECAME ROHAS LMFAOOO😂😂😂😂
i really enjoyed your reaction to them 😍 will wait for more ❤
Awww thank you! ❤️
I wasn't an Aroha yet during Always You but ever since I have known what they had gone through, my tears fall everytime I listen to it with that in mind.
Thanks so much for appreciating them! Another Astro reaction I enjoyed. :) I love these three songs and I can't choose which one I like most coz they each hit differently.
I loved the genuineness of your reaction! I re-rediscovered my love for Astro's music just by watching your last few videos of Astro.
It seems that you are reacting to the title tracks mostly, and I appreciate the fact that you're going chronologically, which is the best way to recognize how much the group has grown with time (and you even mention this!). I would very strongly, highly recommend you also check out "When you call my name" when you see "Knock" (both songs are of the album "Gateway", which was the group's comeback album last year). The song does not have an MV, only live stages. It doesn't matter if you don't post your reaction to it, but do check out one of the stages of that song, literally any one. I recommend this especially because you're following their progress with time and have already got a taste of their versatility, particularly in terms of the transition from the playful, cute stuff to the darker, more sensual, vibe. I'm sure you'll be blown away.
This was like the 5th reaction vid i am watching and i enjoyed everyone of them thanks for appreciating astro
Yeah Blue Flame has a reggae vive. Can't help but to dance
Your reactions are the same like me before. Changing fav song every comeback 😂😂 cant even choose the fav
2:23 is JINJIN 2;32 is ROCKY (ambos raperos , sobre todo Rocky, también cantan)
3;14 ROCKY seguido por JINJIN (JINJIN es el que tiene el cabello verde)
thank u for doing this. ASTRO need to be more recognized
I'm a bit of envy, you can understand Korean and it is great, of these 3 songs I cannot choose a favorite I like all of them, the lyrics are full of feelings that we have all had and the videos are beautiful
You are officially my favorite reaction man...👍 i love the way you react to them...
AROHA BOY WELCOME!!!!!!
