Any idea if any of those postponed songs TAK mentioned about got out eventually since March? And dude wow I super really enjoy these interviews even as a non-professional. I can appreciate more the work is put into them, learning some things too. You guys make music, no matter the genre, appreciated and fun. Umu hope this channel gets even bigger and I'm rooting for your success. Your fellow Shawol 💎✨
If I'm not wrong, at that time K-Fan boycott NCT 127 because they think they only focused doing promotion in US than in korea especially in the music show. Whether the song good or not, can't deny it, it depends on the fans especially korean fans.
I'm so happy that you talked about Superhuman! That song is criminaly underrated and the fact they spent so much time with it makes me want to cry. I was really hoping it would become NCT's breakout song. But alas other things were meant to happen. 😭
Superhuman WAS actually a breaking song for NCT, views on TH-cam is not everything. It sold super good in the US digitally, you should check how many their own records they broke with it.
I completely agree. It’s my favourite NCT title track. I could write an essay about how amazing the song is. Technically, it’s flawless in its production. The MV is just, wow. The harmonies and the boys voices have never sounded better in my opinion. I get so sad at how underrated it is, even among NCTzens. No one talks about it 😤
It's honestly one of my favourite NCT title tracks! You can't not be blown away when you listen to it full volume. It's like venturing to a different world. I love that the choreography is awesome too. Very different from NCT's usual sound, but very much an SM sound.
haechanverse yeah it’s not very standard NCT. But yes very SM. And somehow they managed to make it NCT like? And the build up to that epic ending tho... I can’t not get hyped up and blown away every time. And the choreo just hits so different. I’m so glad someone else appreciates it like me 🥺
I squeaked so hard seeing their names a d I was like, OMG! They made songs for Infinite, Lovelyz and GolCha. I am so happy that they are brought to light and given the credits through interview. I am hoping to see LEEZ and OLLOUNDER as well since they are really good. They produced songs for Woollim Groups and Dreamcatcher and ATEEZ.
Omg I love these guys! So cool that you're able to interview them. They produced some of my favorite tracks by Lovelyz. I think Shining Star is one of their best tracks too! Hope to see them continue to make more tracks for them because they nail the Lovelyz sound perfectly.
Monsta X is that group, depending on your mood at the moment, you don't need to look for another singer or group, because they have songs for all tastes / moods, just choose !!!
i literally started sobbing oh my god yall really told some of my idols that their song helped me through rough times im so honored and im so glad that they know that it truly changed my life!
I need a minute. So they are the people who made my favourite Monsta X song. And it's both of their most proudest piece... Wow... Well I love the Rollercoaster so I'm thankful to them for creating it
1 Take: Do you know MBLAQ? Me: Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah~ I’m thrilled to see Tak & 1 Take for the interview! I can see the producers are also interested to know how their songs are received. From watching the producer interviews series, the producers/songwriters seem genuinely surprised when you point out what you noticed in the production or their ‘trademark’ in songs. It makes me think that they aim to make the best music they can, thats distinctive, sounds good and that they can be proud of. They hope the fans like it but like they didn’t expect them to analyse or notice the little tidbits they put in their songs. Excited to see more interviews with this duo in the future! (I knew you’d ask about Superhuman- personally, I’ve yet to hear such meticulous songwriting and production from this years releases). Also, props to the editing team for this video. Really appreciate the work gone into the interview and with the translator. The editing makes it seamless, so even with just the audio recording and subtitles, I can follow the flow of the conversation quite easily. (That genius Adrian though- haha!)
I'm really thankful for the English subtitles, even when you're speaking english. English is not my first language and I have loss of hearing so this is really helpful.
I totally got TAK when he mentioned the "chord progression that feels as if it's going off to space"! I think what he meant was a way of very unexpected but at the same time pleasant modulation which I personally love the most about their music. :-) A very good example for that and also my favorite track by them might be LOVELYZ' "Like U". I just love love love it!! Thank you so much for this amazing interview, Umu! It was so interesting to hear their thoughts on music production and composing.♥♥♥♥ Also, speaking of video game sounds and modulation, I'd like to suggest interviewing another amazing producer called e.one (정호현) and maybe also his former mate 최현준. Both of them, if on their own or together, created so many masterpieces. They composed a lot for artists like APRIL, Cosmic Girls, GFRIEND, LOVELYZ and IZ*ONE.
I love their produced songs - Roller Coaster, Twinkle & Air. For Air, I love it for the first time I heard it 😭 Thank you for producing such masterpieces 🙏
Omg Monsta X Roller Coster is one of my fave tracks !! I'm glad to finally meet/know the producers of such great tracks of MX thank you Tak and take 1 !!
If TAK and 1Take saw this (hopefully), you don't know how much of a fan I am 😭 I really really like your sound ever since djmax and I'm so thrilled when I found "Air" and "TT" remix. Those are my top 2 favorite!! Can't wait to hear your works in the future!!
I remember they have worked with Golden Child as well in their last 1st album (정규 1 집). The song was "No Matter What" and I sincerely recommended you guys to listen. That was a great song from Woollim Entertainment as well.
This was so coooool, i love how you lay out your interviews, it's just people passionate about music talking about it. For me it's always interesting to see the behind of a song. And as for no video, don't stress it, it actually allows the viewer to pay more attention to the words and the editing added some spice too :))
YAY SO EXCITED FOR THIS! It's been in the works for so long haha, I'm so glad you've been able to interview these HUGE names in kpop writing/production though :D
but gosh man they really are some of my fav producers, almost all the songs they’ve written are my favorites. I really vibe with them and I'm so happy to see that you got this chance to interview them. They seem so chill and nice wow i love them even more :(( It's just so cool to hear them talk about what they've worked on and what their favorite songs they've done are. Thank you again for the interview!
They're really like one of my most favorite producers! Everytime I see their name as producers or in part producing the song I was really excited! Cuz it must be really good
thank you once again so much for these kinds of content umu! 😭😭 it's really nice to see people giving producers, composers and writers the credit they truly deserve and all the more exciting to see them talk about the process of creating the songs that we've all come to love!! so happy you're able to interview these amazing people and see the growth of this channel!
Was hesitating on watching this as im not really into interview stuff, but holy shit this was good. You are a great interviewer, they could clearly hear you are passionate about their work. Im glad you had this chance to do an interview with them. Hope more are to come
Every time Umu interviews a producer I get addicted to 4 or 5 more songs and am introduced to 3 or 4 more kpop groups... so here I go Roller Coaster and co. Superhuman ist the best of course.
!!!! 너무나 좋아하는 뮤지션분들과 진지하고 깊은 인터뷰를 해주셔서 너무너무 감사합니다! 한국에서도 이런 인터뷰 쉽게 볼 수 없었어요! 두분의 팬으로서 이런 기회를 만들어주셔서 감사합니다! 그리고 탁님 1take 님! 두분의 이름이 들어가 있다면 가수불문 꼭꼭 찾아듣는 팬이 있다는 사실 잊지 말아주세요!!! 승승장구 하십시오~~ 정말 응원하고 기대하고 좋아합니다!!!
I'm not really familiar with the producers at all, and I hadn't heard most of tge sings duscussed, but I always really enjoy watching these interviews because of the enthusiasm and love for music from both sides that just makes it really fun to listen to
Oh that was really fun and interesting! I used to casually listen to music and never really thought about the process of making the songs; just recently I'm paying more attention to names behind the tracks I like, the samples used, those kind of things (that I still don't understand well but it's intriguing ^^') and it's been a pleasant surprise. I came here curious about Roller Coaster, it's one of my favorites from Monsta X, hard to choose few favorites with so many different sounds they can do but this one is bright and yet fit very well with Monsta X. Now I want to now more about TAK and 1 Take's work, I'm gonna check some more now!
I'm so happy for you and for this interview! Thank you soooo much to make this interview possible, they worked with my favs groups and to know their thoughts and opinions about them and how happy they were working with them, feels good 🤗 thanks again Umu 💕
The editing on this was so great (HONOR!), so the lack of video didn't matter at all. You're such a good interviewer, and I know you probably have more stuff lined up (plus whatever that one thing you teased with Stray Kids omg)!
These guys are ICONS! I’m so proud of rttk for making it this far to interview them! It was really cool to learn more about their processes, also props to the editors for putting together all the subs! Hope to see you interview them again hopefully in person!
Great interview! I love getting to know the producers behind these awesome songs! The song Clock they made for Infinite is so good, I'm really thankful for that song, thank you 1 Take and Tak! Any chance for an interview with Leez and Ollounder? That would be amazing! But I also can't wait for a second interview with these guys again, 1 Take has a great voice by the way!
Thank you for this interview !!! And thank you for introducing me to superhuman, truly the best song from last year!! Thank you producers for blessing us with your music!!!
UMU HAD IS SO LUCKY FOR HAVING AN INTERVIEW WITH THESE GENIUSES! OMG! They're like my role model as producers! (not to mention Adrian and LDN Noise also!)
Man! The logistics/planning, etc... kudos to everyone involved. Imo not having video actually has a couple of positive points. So the mistake is unfortunate but not all bad!
Omg omg what a great video , kudos to your great questions , and the great editing and translations thank you to all of you guys ! 🙏💜 ( also , wanted to tell you that your channel is doing GREAT , it's amazing as it is and you don't need to get discouraged by some disrespectful comments on your videos since I've seen some people being so rude and narrow minded .... the direction you are going with is great and there is no need for changes , like seriously! )
I really thank you for this video😭❤ I started to love them when I heard Golden Child's IF and What Happened. I'm gonna support you for your next collaboration with them! ❤❤
OMG I am soooo surprised you interview TAK & 1 Take because I had knew them from Ladies' Code's lastest album and members' solo. Recently I love a song called pit-a-pet by a Japenese singer calld YUKIKA who debut in Korea and I found that it was written by them...So thank you for this interview!! And I wish you could interview a producer named PUFF who work for VIXX RAVI's studio The Crack Kids and has written amazing music like Leo's Romanticism, Gugudan's Be Myself, Verivery's Alright and Lay Back. I love his sounds but I got few informantion about him.🙌
I stopped listening to 'Siegfried' for this. It better be good. (I have faith :) ) Edit: Ok, worth it. I never knew how to describe the chords in SuPerHuMan, but 23:40 is perfection. I found the interview really interesting, thank you to everyone that made this happen (Umu, TAK, 1 Take, Translator Sia, 'middleman' Adrian McKinnon, Editors...).
Wowww Superhuman and roller coaster are one of my favs song and is really cool get to know how much effort they putted on them, they do a great job! I will become a fan for sure
Thanks for this! These are guys are fantastic musicians. As someone outside the K-Pop world/fandom etc there's a small slice of K-Pop songs I really like, and they're largerly all by this duo. I love the great use of musical techniques that most other pop music simply never touches. It's really refreshing to see them blend some of that into the pop world. Would be great to here them talk more in depth about that and production/DAW stuff too. Do they do pure writing first, say a piano sketch, then produce? Or start electronically, and flesh out melodies and chords over that? When does the topline writer come into the process? Are the chords already done by then, or are they built around the top line? Favourite synths etc? That kinda stuff would be amazing.
it’s always interesting to hear what is going on behind the scenes of the making of the songs we love! really appreciate them sharing their experiences
I love love love these interviews with people who work on creating the songs in kpop!!! I don’t have much technical knowledge of music composition or such things or plan on learning a lot about that side, but it’s so so fascinating to hear from the creators and collaborators themselves. Thank you so much for reaching out to have these interviews because it feels like a side of kpop that doesn’t have a lot of light shed on it (despite being so integral!). Honestly I nerd out with you during these videos... learning what songs these people have worked on that I love, it’s especially super cool, as an artist myself, to get a glimpse into their minds as artists - even though their medium is music and mine is completely different. Because their art inspires my own!! Okay wait I might be getting a bit too excited and ramble-y on this comment. I just love these videos. I hope you can keep getting these awesome opportunities to talk to awesome people! And pick their minds! And then share with us! Heck yeah! Also a big thank you to the translator, Sia, for helping to make it possible for you to interview Tak and Take 1 and for us to hear and understand their thoughts. This makes me more excited cuz it’s like- now there’s even less barriers for who you could interview in the future. Aaaa okay I’m getting way too excited thinking about that, I shall end this comment before I write you a whole essay of gratitude and praise and happiness. I hope you’re having a lovely day because you just made mine
How can they believe they don’t have fan Of course I’m a big fan of you them like I discover new group thanks to them since the release of « air » my favorite track of infinite album ! And I became then a big fan of lovelyz too because of them !Thank you reactotek for invite them they deserve the world ! 1 TAKE and TAK are saving the kpop industry !!
And I think these kind of contents are really educating .... people do always tend to not appreciate people behind the scenes of what they see or hear , these interviews will make them credit the producers and appreciate their hard work !
Thank you so much for doing these producer interviews!!! They are so interesting and knowing how the producers feel about a track adds so much to the listening experience
Infinite's Clock is one of my favorites among so many of their songs. 😍 It's so nice to hear the producer's thoughts in the songs they wrote for the artists. I can see Clock and Air written for vocals and dance which is Infinite's signature. I appreciate their works much better now seeing how they create these pieces exclusively for each artist. 💙💙
Why no one talks about Golden Child - Lately!!?? I was waiting for them to talk about "Lately"!! THAT SONG IS SO GOOD ❤️😭❤️ it made me fall in love like literally having butterfly in my stomach! Definitely one of the best side track ever 😭
TAK has been known on Western soundcloud many years ago for his fantastic Zedd remixes and his K-Pop mashups inspired by Madeon. He's heavily inspired by Western EDM and nu-disco. I feel kinda bad for him producing K-Pop now. I mean...he's making good bank for sure, but he's too good for K-Pop. If you listen to his old stuff on soundcloud, you see that he stays far below his potential most of the time with his K-Pop productions. That's especially because complex, jazz-inspired melodies and heavy drops are key to his signature sound. Both are unwanted in mainstream-oriented K-Pop, so they're missing in most of his newer productions.
This interview was such an amazing experience! I still have so many questions written down for TAK & 1 Take about tracks they've written for other groups, so I can't wait to ask them in the future! Once again, another huge thank you to TAK and 1 Take for doing this interview with us. Hope you all enjoy!
너무나도 즐겁고 뜻 깊은 인터뷰였습니다! 이번에 TAK님과 1 Take님께 여쭤보지 못한 다른 그룹들을 위해 작곡하신 곡들에 대한 질문들이 아직 많이 남아있기에, 다음 번에 기회가 된다면 꼭 그 질문들을 여쭤보고 싶어요! 다시 한 번 저희와 함께 해주신 TAK님과 1 Take님께 감사드립니다. 이번 영상도 재미있게 시청해주세요!

Umu hope this channel gets even bigger and I'm rooting for your success.
Your fellow Shawol 💎✨
Superhuman is a underrated masterpiece and the fact that they spent so much time on it give me heartache. The song deserves the world...
If I'm not wrong, at that time K-Fan boycott NCT 127 because they think they only focused doing promotion in US than in korea especially in the music show. Whether the song good or not, can't deny it, it depends on the fans especially korean fans.
@@belekemerara Oh the times have changed for Kpop
I'm so happy that you talked about Superhuman! That song is criminaly underrated and the fact they spent so much time with it makes me want to cry. I was really hoping it would become NCT's breakout song. But alas other things were meant to happen. 😭

Shoutouts to Sia, interpreting is a lot more tough and draining than people might think. Thank you for making this interview possible.
I squeaked so hard seeing their names a d I was like, OMG! They made songs for Infinite, Lovelyz and GolCha. I am so happy that they are brought to light and given the credits through interview.
I am hoping to see LEEZ and OLLOUNDER as well since they are really good. They produced songs for Woollim Groups and Dreamcatcher and ATEEZ.
I'm in love with "CLOCK", it's a masterpiece!💛
Omg I love these guys! So cool that you're able to interview them.
They produced some of my favorite tracks by Lovelyz. I think Shining Star is one of their best tracks too! Hope to see them continue to make more tracks for them because they nail the Lovelyz sound perfectly.
I genuinely hope they are the ones in charge of Lovelyz new title track .... I'm really excited for their new concept !
Yess!! Monsta X - Rollercoaster is sooo underrated. Monsta X has many songs in different genres and languages!!!
Monsta X is that group, depending on your mood at the moment, you don't need to look for another singer or group, because they have songs for all tastes / moods, just choose !!!
NCT 127 Superhuman.. one of the best songs in K-pop history!!
i literally started sobbing oh my god yall really told some of my idols that their song helped me through rough times im so honored and im so glad that they know that it truly changed my life!
I need a minute. So they are the people who made my favourite Monsta X song. And it's both of their most proudest piece... Wow... Well I love the Rollercoaster so I'm thankful to them for creating it
1 Take: Do you know MBLAQ?
Me: Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah~
I’m thrilled to see Tak & 1 Take for the interview! I can see the producers are also interested to know how their songs are received. From watching the producer interviews series, the producers/songwriters seem genuinely surprised when you point out what you noticed in the production or their ‘trademark’ in songs.

I'm really thankful for the English subtitles, even when you're speaking english. English is not my first language and I have loss of hearing so this is really helpful.
It's so cute how TAK became Lovelinus after making song for Lovelyz 😆
I’m still surprised you were able to get an interview with THE TAK AND 1TAKE!!!!
I hope they work with Lovelyz again! Twinkle is a masterpiece 💖🥺
yesssss TAK our Lovelinus pride
I totally got TAK when he mentioned the "chord progression that feels as if it's going off to space"! I think what he meant was a way of very unexpected but at the same time pleasant modulation which I personally love the most about their music. :-)
A very good example for that and also my favorite track by them might be LOVELYZ' "Like U". I just love love love it!!
Thank you so much for this amazing interview, Umu! It was so interesting to hear their thoughts on music production and composing.♥♥♥♥
Also, speaking of video game sounds and modulation, I'd like to suggest interviewing another amazing producer called e.one (정호현) and maybe also his former mate 최현준. Both of them, if on their own or together, created so many masterpieces. They composed a lot for artists like APRIL, Cosmic Girls, GFRIEND, LOVELYZ and IZ*ONE.
That moment when TAK ask Umu back. Another good interview. Thank you for your hard work.
I love their produced songs - Roller Coaster, Twinkle & Air. For Air, I love it for the first time I heard it 😭 Thank you for producing such masterpieces 🙏
Omg Monsta X Roller Coster is one of my fave tracks !! I'm glad to finally meet/know the producers of such great tracks of MX thank you Tak and take 1 !!

I came here curious about Roller Coaster, it's one of my favorites from Monsta X, hard to choose few favorites with so many different sounds they can do but this one is bright and yet fit very well with Monsta X. Now I want to now more about TAK and 1 Take's work, I'm gonna check some more now!
I'm so happy for you and for this interview! Thank you soooo much to make this interview possible, they worked with my favs groups and to know their thoughts and opinions about them and how happy they were working with them, feels good 🤗 thanks again Umu 💕
Thank you soooo much!!!! It's such an amazing opportunity to get to know composers and producers thanks to your channel!!!!
The editing on this was so great (HONOR!), so the lack of video didn't matter at all. You're such a good interviewer, and I know you probably have more stuff lined up (plus whatever that one thing you teased with Stray Kids omg)!
Ooohhh me too me too... I'm so excited when they mention MONSTA X. ..😭😭MY BOYS 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Umu thank u so much for your hardwork. You are showing us a new way to understand, listen and appreciate kpop. Thanks a lot for these kind of content
"the chord progression that goes off into space" MAN if this doesn't describe Superhuman I don't know what does. thanks for the fun interview!
I like alllllllllllll monsta x song... So i want to say thank you for who write/composer that's song (include monsta x member)
These guys are ICONS! I’m so proud of rttk for making it this far to interview them! It was really cool to learn more about their processes, also props to the editors for putting together all the subs! Hope to see you interview them again hopefully in person!
Great interview! I love getting to know the producers behind these awesome songs! The song Clock they made for Infinite is so good, I'm really thankful for that song, thank you 1 Take and Tak!
Any chance for an interview with Leez and Ollounder? That would be amazing! But I also can't wait for a second interview with these guys again, 1 Take has a great voice by the way!
Thank you for this interview !!! And thank you for introducing me to superhuman, truly the best song from last year!! Thank you producers for blessing us with your music!!!
UMU HAD IS SO LUCKY FOR HAVING AN INTERVIEW WITH THESE GENIUSES! OMG!
They're like my role model as producers! (not to mention Adrian and LDN Noise also!)
Man! The logistics/planning, etc... kudos to everyone involved. Imo not having video actually has a couple of positive points. So the mistake is unfortunate but not all bad!
Omg omg what a great video , kudos to your great questions , and the great editing and translations thank you to all of you guys ! 🙏💜
( also , wanted to tell you that your channel is doing GREAT , it's amazing as it is and you don't need to get discouraged by some disrespectful comments on your videos since I've seen some people being so rude and narrow minded .... the direction you are going with is great and there is no need for changes , like seriously! )
Thank you 😭❤️
Their sound design is so similar to complextro artists I’ve seen in electronic music but they also do regular pop songs too! These two are amazing
TAK from a rhythm game's music producer to a K-Pop producer. What a career.
I really thank you for this video😭❤ I started to love them when I heard Golden Child's IF and What Happened.
I'm gonna support you for your next collaboration with them! ❤❤
OMG I am soooo surprised you interview TAK & 1 Take because I had knew them from Ladies' Code's lastest album and members' solo. Recently I love a song called pit-a-pet by a Japenese singer calld YUKIKA who debut in Korea and I found that it was written by them...So thank you for this interview!!
And I wish you could interview a producer named PUFF who work for VIXX RAVI's studio The Crack Kids and has written amazing music like Leo's Romanticism, Gugudan's Be Myself, Verivery's Alright and Lay Back. I love his sounds but I got few informantion about him.🙌
I stopped listening to 'Siegfried' for this. It better be good.
(I have faith :) )
Edit: Ok, worth it. I never knew how to describe the chords in SuPerHuMan, but 23:40 is perfection. I found the interview really interesting, thank you to everyone that made this happen (Umu, TAK, 1 Take, Translator Sia, 'middleman' Adrian McKinnon, Editors...).
you are doing such a great job, Umu! thank you for this and best of luck!
Wowww Superhuman and roller coaster are one of my favs song and is really cool get to know how much effort they putted on them, they do a great job! I will become a fan for sure
Thank you for this interview 🥰 they're my fav producer.
Ohh I really love Shining Star
Thanks for this! These are guys are fantastic musicians. As someone outside the K-Pop world/fandom etc there's a small slice of K-Pop songs I really like, and they're largerly all by this duo. I love the great use of musical techniques that most other pop music simply never touches. It's really refreshing to see them blend some of that into the pop world. Would be great to here them talk more in depth about that and production/DAW stuff too. Do they do pure writing first, say a piano sketch, then produce? Or start electronically, and flesh out melodies and chords over that? When does the topline writer come into the process? Are the chords already done by then, or are they built around the top line? Favourite synths etc? That kinda stuff would be amazing.
oh my this channel just never disappoints me
umu thank you so much for all the effort and the quality content!! 🥺💓
Those two are one of my favorite producer their sound is so unique I love them 💖
They created golden child -what happened?!?! Legends
it’s always interesting to hear what is going on behind the scenes of the making of the songs we love! really appreciate them sharing their experiences
Thank you for this interview!!!!
I love love love these interviews with people who work on creating the songs in kpop!!! I don’t have much technical knowledge of music composition or such things or plan on learning a lot about that side, but it’s so so fascinating to hear from the creators and collaborators themselves. Thank you so much for reaching out to have these interviews because it feels like a side of kpop that doesn’t have a lot of light shed on it (despite being so integral!).
Honestly I nerd out with you during these videos... learning what songs these people have worked on that I love, it’s especially super cool, as an artist myself, to get a glimpse into their minds as artists - even though their medium is music and mine is completely different. Because their art inspires my own!! Okay wait I might be getting a bit too excited and ramble-y on this comment. I just love these videos. I hope you can keep getting these awesome opportunities to talk to awesome people! And pick their minds! And then share with us! Heck yeah!
Also a big thank you to the translator, Sia, for helping to make it possible for you to interview Tak and Take 1 and for us to hear and understand their thoughts. This makes me more excited cuz it’s like- now there’s even less barriers for who you could interview in the future. Aaaa okay I’m getting way too excited thinking about that, I shall end this comment before I write you a whole essay of gratitude and praise and happiness. I hope you’re having a lovely day because you just made mine
How can they believe they don’t have fan Of course I’m a big fan of you them like I discover new group thanks to them since the release of « air » my favorite track of infinite album ! And I became then a big fan of lovelyz too because of them !Thank you reactotek for invite them they deserve the world ! 1 TAKE and TAK are saving the kpop industry !!
I’m so happy for this interview congratulations 🎉 I loved it so much especially because these are all songs and artists I really enjoy listening to 😊
And I think these kind of contents are really educating .... people do always tend to not appreciate people behind the scenes of what they see or hear , these interviews will make them credit the producers and appreciate their hard work !
Thank you so much for doing these producer interviews!!! They are so interesting and knowing how the producers feel about a track adds so much to the listening experience
ohh thank you for interviewing them, I love their productions!! their glitchy edm sound is really distinct and fantastic to listen to :)
I really love Roller Coaster, underrated BOP! It's really great live 👏
엄청난 양질의 인터뷰 감사합니다 ^^
상당히 유익한 인터뷰입니다. 앞으로도 계속 되었으면 좋겠네요. 감사합니다.
👍👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️ thank you for producing so many awesome songs for Lovelyz!😍😍😍😍😍
rollercoaster is my favourite this song is so underrated
Ohhhh 😍😍😍TAK and 1TAK
Honour!!!!! *inserts zuko meme* "yessss!"
OMG PREVIOUSLY ON AVATAR - WHOEVER IS EDITING I FEEL TARGETED
Infinite's Clock is one of my favorites among so many of their songs. 😍
It's so nice to hear the producer's thoughts in the songs they wrote for the artists. I can see Clock and Air written for vocals and dance which is Infinite's signature. I appreciate their works much better now seeing how they create these pieces exclusively for each artist. 💙💙
TAK The Genius
Love this content so much ♡♡♡ keep it up umu
Producers Interviews are my new favorites in this channel. I hope you will interview Ollounder and LEEZ soon. They are my fave producers.
when I saw 'Tak' it auto reminds me of Lovelyz ♡
Why no one talks about Golden Child - Lately!!?? I was waiting for them to talk about "Lately"!! THAT SONG IS SO GOOD ❤️😭❤️ it made me fall in love like literally having butterfly in my stomach! Definitely one of the best side track ever 😭
Oh YES Rollercoaster
I’m fangirling so freaking hardddd
Yess Lovelyz Song Shinning star♡☆
I never get sick of Monsta X’s roller coaster!!! I love that song so much, and I never knew why it was so addictive 💕
Hope you will react to 'Dream in a dream - Lovelyz'
Monsta x 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Infinite and Lovelyz 😍
support the return of Lovelyz please
TAK has been known on Western soundcloud many years ago for his fantastic Zedd remixes and his K-Pop mashups inspired by Madeon. He's heavily inspired by Western EDM and nu-disco. I feel kinda bad for him producing K-Pop now. I mean...he's making good bank for sure, but he's too good for K-Pop. If you listen to his old stuff on soundcloud, you see that he stays far below his potential most of the time with his K-Pop productions. That's especially because complex, jazz-inspired melodies and heavy drops are key to his signature sound. Both are unwanted in mainstream-oriented K-Pop, so they're missing in most of his newer productions.
YOOOOOO, REACTTOTHEK IS GOING KOREAN LEZGOOOO
Lovelyz ❤
Got me laughing at the "honor' with the ATLA clip 😆😆😆😆
Lovelyz Comeback 9.1
