Oh thanks for the recs! I’m excited to watch them 😂 literally if I’m not working or doing YT, I’m watching dramas lol I was also thinking a weekly idol episode but I’d love to start infinite company too! I’m literally down for either 😂 I’ll eventually get to both though!
@@ToniReacts looking forward to it!! here's a relatively recent weekly idol ep with no missing members: th-cam.com/video/7KU2zVb93_Y/w-d-xo.htmlsi=8NOGvIHaUaS0TJ7W and here's a full playlist for infinite company: th-cam.com/play/PLDcb85FiHOX-XQOuiUbiaECFejPzFOB_A.html&si=d66VfmV3K2lGOKdT 🥰
Infinite lyrics really bring the drama. They're like the telenovela of kpop XD. I find it really funny how many of their songs are high intensity emotions while irl they're super chill and polite and friendly.
oh well...where to start 😂 Thank you for the reaction, I'm glad to see more Infinite on your channel and glad that you are enjoying them so far! Because they are older group, not that many reactors react to them and even doing so, they just cover title tracks and never really dive into the group. Can't blame them, now it's too much groups and content, it's hard to keep up. Yes, there was hype around new Sunggyu and Woohyun OST, because they are huge ship and they honestly do not have officially released track together (only some duet performances) and we were promissed Infinite V unit debut too many years ago! 😂 It's not hard to ship them because they do it themselves basically, you don't need to do it at all xD The Chaser is legendary song and they performed it in the Billboard studio (in LA?), at that time it was big deal. Song is still being included into the top of best kpop songs of all times. I'm surprised that Last Rome got blocked too! That's strange, there is a lot of the reaction video to MV and they are fine 🤔 love the song, think that it's probably a grower ^^ They performed Last Romeo rock version in the latest concert in August, it was soo good! And it's was my fist comeback with them I guess, because I got into them late 2013- early 2014, between the comebacks.
They have unreleased MV version for the Last Romeo where a lot of water has been included and images of being drowned with Titanic concert vibes originally, but they had to re-shoot whole MV with different concept because Sewol ferry tragedy happened around that time.
It is a bit overwhelming diving into the older groups just because of the amount of content to get through 😂 but I enjoy it! And I’m glad I can bring new reaction content to fans! Someone said The Chaser actually started the whole kpop category in Billboards?? If so, that’s seriously amazing. I’ve just genuinely been enjoying getting into these groups like infinite and SHINee that really spearheaded kpop and I’m sure there’s a lot more groups too. Yea idk why Last Romeo got blocked? It kept recognizing the MV’s as some live showcase when it wasn’t but I can fight YT about it because I don’t have the copyright 😭 it’s so annoying. Anyways that’s wild about the MV! What an unfortunate event and right when they were about to release the MV 😭
@@ToniReacts it's ok to not watch and not know everything, I think infinite and inspirits just will be happy to welcome new fans to enjoy future music and content 💛 ✨
Personally I never fully watched any of the dramas they acted in, maybe because I'm not huge drama person or they just was too close to me as idols and it was hard to see them as characters and not themselves 😅 But from what I know about Myungsoo's dramas: Miss Hammurabi was good (about law system and judge profession) and Secret Royal Inspection was fun to watch(historical one), Angel's last mission is more on the romantic side. The Emperor: Owner if the Mask was also historical and helped him to show his skills and be praised by netizens. Drama Welcome is where Myungsoo playing a cat boy :3 AND Yuchan from ACE has an OST to it! omg, I'm happy I remembered it 🤭 OST' name is Show your heart! (for me in this drama all my ult groups were connected, because Myunsoo played main role, and Yuchan with Kihyun sing the osts, what a happy coincidence ✨🤌🏻) Sungyeol and Woohyun had high school drama together, and for Hoya it was mostly Reply 1997 which is iconic dorama by itself as I know and film Hiya , which I watched myself and enjoyed, it's about hard relationships between two brothers and their family. Dongwoo and Sunggyu played in musicals mostly, sad that there is no recordings for it, only some premier bits and promo videos. I actually see you as Dongwoo bias just fine, maybe because of Sehyoon xD they are both 4D coded, but Dongwoo is constant force of energy and not that quiet at all, but still a bit weird and sweet 😊 sorry for ALOT of words, it's just flooded out maybe because it was long enough to get excited too much 😂
I literally just need to spend a weekend watching dramas with idols in them 😂 I say I will and then never do it. Jinyoung from got7 and Sungjae from BTOB have dramas I really want to watch too. And Yuchan does an OST?! Omg I love the connection there Idk why but Dongwoo just catches my eye. I’m usually into big teddy bear energy (hence Sehyoon) but Dongwoo gives me golden retriever energy which isn’t bad either 😂
really suggest you check out their recent concert!!! they are still soo good on singing live and dancing although already 30+ and after military hiatus for 5 years.
@@ToniReacts Hi. Yes. The ytb Channel 'o mo' uploaded and have English subs! It's called 'Infinite concert 2023 comeback again in Seoul - day 1' from 5 months ago. It's SO good!!!!!!!!!
@@ToniReacts better search "INFINITE comeback again concert" then you will find there are Day 1 and Day 2 online version of the concert. I think Day 2 is much better than Day 1 due to the camera movement and audio setting. Enjoy!!
Also Infinite is know as obsessive idols 😂 because they keep chasing back the girl who left them, already for 13 years! There was funny fandom joke about the style of songs of shinee, infinite and beast at that time, how infinite always chase after the girl and don't let to leave, beast is always heartbroken but try to play it cool and something like that, but sadly I did not find it now.. maybe later someday. But yes, at that time they were famous as ShiBeIn trio who was popular and had good chemistry between them.
That’s so funny 😂 the lyrics are just wild in their songs but the songs are so catchy! I have someone that actually asked me if I could get into Beast/Highlight. I didn’t realize those three groups were so close!
imo Hoya's Reply 1997 is the best Infinite-related drama, but for Myung I quite like Secret Royal Inspector and Angel's Last Mission: Love. For variety stuff I would start with some more recent stuff (like surrounding the 2023 comeback or Infinite Showtime) and work back. I just think it's fairer to gather an idea of their personalities in their late 20s and 30s than to hold them as whatever they were at say 20. Hoya's dancing is pretty easy to find on youtube (either under Hoya or Lee Howon). I really love his Hit the Stage performance 'Intense melodrama' with Hyojin in particular. And if you follow him on instagram, most of his posts will include a video of him dancing.
I’m definitely going to watch Reply 1997! I’ll add those drama of L’s to my list as well 😊 yes someone else suggested I think it’s infinite company show? I’m down for that! I think it’s fun starting from the beginning and watching them grow but I think INFINITE just has too much content that it will take me a while to scratch the surface 😂 I found him on IG! I’ll have to add his hit the stage performance to my list 😊
@@ToniReacts yep I'd recommend Infinite Company as well! It's a good introduction to the remaining members. Also look for the 'stage focused' version of hoya's hit the stage win with hyojin.
@@ToniReacts oh btw most versions of reply 1997 available (e.g. netflix, viki) have a lot of the original music replaced with stock music. it's not totally essential to watch it with the original music, but it adds a lot imo and there are small bits cut out because a character is singing or dancing to a particular song. it would probably mean watching in lower quality on one of the sketchy sites though so i understand if you don't want to do that. you'll know it's the original version if the first flashback to 1997 begins with a ddr session to the song butterfly
For BTD, the song is great, the dance is iconic, but the MV is dark and depressing, used to avoid watching it in the past. And it's confusing to understand what is going on too xD But as far as I remember, Myungsoo and Woohyun trying to fight the shadow person at first who was keeping them trapped in that facility, after beating the shadow they realise that they need to fight with each other too and only one can escape. They fight, Woohyun kind if wins, but he refuses to leave Myungsoo behind and drags him along. But in the end they both still trapped... I'm sure there is some eloquent explanation with how they fight with thier inner demons and shadow person symbolises the bad in them or something, but I'm not sure at this point 😅 its good and that's all! The Eye is probably still my favourite title track if I had to choose, I love the instrumental there, the dance, the song itself and the vocals. In Korean the name of the song is Typhoon and the English name symbolise the center of the typhoon called the eye of it, it's the still and calm point with the fast speeding and winding winds around it. And because of that all the tragedy and heartbreak in the MV happens internally, in the mind of Myungsoo. Yes, there is theory that in the story all of them died except him and he is trying to deal with it, but it also might represent the inner struggles of the person who is going through hard times. In another theory members represent different emotions which main character is going through trying to basically survive (fear, regret, guilt, self-hatred, sadnesses, etc). But both theories make sense and have the right to exist in my opinion. ^^ It depends on how you look at it 😊 I found two articles with the theories and they fun to read through I think togetherinspirit7.tumblr.com/post/150599488406/theory-infinite-%ED%83%9C%ED%92%8D-the-eye-mv aminoapps.com/c/k-pop/page/blog/infinite-the-eye-mv-theory/1WI6_u1nP05B57WX3aLYXKaJrBz8Eo There is also not that much of Dongwoo shots there, aside from the dance scenes and group ones, because during that time his father passed away and he was dealing with the grief. A lot of the Infinite MV have story but they never explained it or explicitly talked about it and I think a lot if them expressed through symbols and different meanings
Ahhhh I think that’s fun that they leave things open to interpretation but also I need answers! 😂 jk but it is really interesting! Their MV’s are way more involved and complicated than I thought. And they all do pretty good acting too! Awww Dongwoo 😭 poor baby. I know how that feels, I truly do.
Thanks for the reaction Toni and I do the same! I usually go through the title tracks first to see whether I vibe with the discography or not! Then I watch some variety shows to understand their personalities better which imo makes the music journey so much better. Then I go through the bsides and freak out over who is slaying what category lol
I’m glad I’m not the only one! 😂 I’m loving their discography so far! I’ll definitely get to some variety stuff soon 🥰 following them on socials has helped me a lot as well. Can’t wait for more infinite!
@@ToniReacts I'm glad you're enjoying their music😭And for starters I'd recommend Infinite Company! It's their most recent variety content and the episodes are not that long. When you dive deeper you can watch Infinite Showtime,Ranking King and so on(Not pressuring you tho😭Take your time I'm writing them down just to let you know)
@@ahgasengeneinspiritcarat oh that sounds fun!! I’ll add it to my playlist 😌 I’m trying to do two reactions on Mondays so I can keep up with the groups I’ve recently gotten into and also delve into some new ones!
I love L’s Secret Royal Inspector 👍🏻👍🏻 The latest drama is Numbers..and surprise.. Sungyeol is in the drama as well. 😁 i havnt finish watching it though.
You should definitely watch Myungsoo in The Angel's Last Mission: love , Royal secret agent, miss hummarabi , one more time, The Emperor: Owner of the Mask , meow the secret boy Please react to Paradise
Thank you for Reacting to INFINITE. Actually you picked some meaningful titles this time. BTD - Introducing Scorpion dance to the Kpop The Chaser - Best song of the Year 2012 according to Billboard Last Romeo - 1st Twitter Emerging Artist in Kpop The Eye - Last Title track as Infinite OT7 I would like to recommend you to do a song marathon if you can. I think it will be really interesting. If you think so then I will recommend some Infinite's B side tracks. 1. Voice of My heart 2. A person like me 3. I'm going to you 4. Moonlight 5. Breathe 6. Rosinante 7. Inception 8. I like you 9. Up to you 10. Time Difference
Thank you for all the love shown to INFINITE ☺. I hope you can react to CLOCK th-cam.com/video/v25_sV53agw/w-d-xo.html. The harmonization is insane. Please give it a listen.
well that's right infinite song mostly are just so obsessive😂 when i wes teenager back than i really love the lyrics cuz i really love romance genre, but now when i listen to it again (i a little bit understand korean now) it's so skajaksjskkajskk sometimes feel so creepy, scary but also i want to laugh at same time like no don't do that! 😂 anyway even that type of korean drama are also populer back than ..😅
Literally same. I loved reading romance novels and dramas but now I find all of it a bit cringe 😂 the music is still really good tho! Even if the lyrics are a bit 😳
Oh yeah!!! Infinite! I missed them on your channel. My personal ranking is : BTD, The Chaser, Last Romeo & The Eye. It's like the order you reacted to 😄 Besides L - Woohyun, Hoya and Sungyeol also have acting careers. For Drama with Myungsoo i recommend you to watch "Angel's last mission: Love". This drama is really good. And Myungsoo there... 😍 Even he is not my bias but he is my crush from the moment i saw him for the first time in another kdrama. I didn't know Infinite at that time. And even didn't listen to kpop. About biases/ My #1 bias in Infinite was Sunggyu. But more i learned thier personalities the more Sungyeol biaswrecking him. And later Woohyun came here too. And now I'm confused 😅 I think i have 3 biases, like in BTOB 😄 For knowing members' personalities i think Weekly idol series are really good. And if you want to watch the whole reality show i would recommend to watch: Ranking King (quite old but funny and shows thier personalities the most) and INFINITE SHOWTIME.
Really??? Lmao that’s funny 😂 I liked the chaser a lot! All good songs tho! Hoya has an acting career too?? I didnt know that 😂 myungsoo’s acting in these MV’s are sooo good. I’ll make note of his drama! I really want to watch it. I still need to watch some of Sungjae and Jinyoung from GOT7 stuff as well. I’ve had Goblin on my list for awhile. Yea usually there’s the ones that grab you with their looks but then you get to know their personalities too and you’re like I can’t choose! 😂 Peniel was my first bias in BTOB and then Hyunsik and Minhyuk wrecked me. Sungjae came for me too for a bit 😂 Oh weekly idol is a really good idea! Maybe I’ll watch an episode next time 😊
@@ToniReactsIn BTOB my first bias was Ilhoon (thanks to Weekly idol where Sunggyu and Ilhoon were guests 😂). Than Sungjae became my second bias and later Hyunsik 😊 3 most savage members towards thier hyuns😂😂😂 Jinyoung and Sungjae i watched every kdramas with them. Love them. Goblin is really good drama too.
@@ToniReactsYeah, Hoya played a gay character in love with the ML in "Reply 1997", which, if I may say, was amazing and so brave on his part. SK is still a homophobic country, more so back then. Woollim asked Hoya if he was sure about taking it, but Hoya said he really wanted to do it. I found it funny at first, because he was the "manliest" in the members. But, more so, scared for him and INFINITE. Playing a gay character, it could kill one's career. But he did soooo well.
@@WittleJeh 🤯🤯🤯 I’m an avid BL watcher. I’m literally going to watch this asap 😂 so much respect for him taking on that role and in a time period where idols were afraid to do those roles. Now it’s become more popular, which I’m so glad idols are showing more upfront support for lgbtq+ given SK and the conservative culture there
I'm just going to say that there is already automatic English translation for Myungsoo's Japanese songs in the MVs (you should first watch Melody and then Starting Over, since it will tell you a story)
Since you’re a dancer I was really hoping you’d react to their dance versions, it’s much less distracting & easier to view their dancing talent. I would watch and engage with the dance practice vids if you do get to those. 😊
Oh I definitely will! I love love the dance practices 😂 I should’ve added them and made a long reaction! But I’m trying my best to stick to two reactions on Mondays so there won’t be as much time between INFINITE reactions again 🥰
Please watch Nam Woohyun, High School Loves On,..is Outstanding! drama that's before l l know Woohyun was a kpo l doll, Myungsoo has a lot of drama thank you for reacting✌️🇺🇲🇵🇭
😂😂😂 now you know the “ship” LOL Sungyu and Woohyun were used to be a roomate and they’re very close to each other. Sunggyu like to tease WH. You may watch their “switched parts” perfomances, its cute 😅
Hi, where should I start? I hope you can read it all despite my bad spelling. The ships: yes WooGyu is a very popular ship and it's my favourite. But I think MyungYeol (Myungsoo x Sungyeol) is the most popular. YaDong (Hoya x Dongwoo) was also very popular, specially because yadong means porn in korean, so the ship doesn't have a very innocent image ^^ . MyungJong is also popular. But my favourite is HoJong (before Hoya's departure). The dramas: I'm not really into k-dramas, plus I have eye pain sins 2015 so it's been hard to keep up with everything happening, because I cannot read subs properly anymore. But I really enjoyed "Jiu" it's L's first or one of the first drama. Alot of people seem to hate it, but I loved it. It's a japanese drama, He doesn't speak alot here. There's also "highschool love on" with Woohyun and Sungyeol as leads. I only watched 6 episodes but I liked it because it's a fun fantasy love-triangle story who doesn't take it seriously. Reply 1997, I enjoyed the first 6 episodes, but then I didn't like it as much, because I enjoyed when the protagonists were just friends, so when it becomes a love story, I don't enjoy it as much. Hoya plays an homosexual character, he fought to keep the role, because when the company learned the character was homosexual they wanted Hoya to drop from the show because they were affraid for his image, but Hoya wanted to keep the role even if the character was homosexual. The obsessive lyrics: yes obsession is a recuring theme in thair title songs. The members said that when they read the lyrics for "come back again" (thair debut song) they said they were shocked by its lyrics, because it wasn't very typical at the time. some "fun" facts about the MV's: Most of Infinite mv's are directed by Hwang Su Ah. She did all the mv's before "man in love" and then she did "the eye", "Kontrol" Sunggyu, "still I remember" by Woohyun and "Delicious" by Toheart. - BTD : WooHyu got injured in the back, and the MV had a age restriction in Korea because it was cosidered "too gory" - The Chaser : the owner of Billboard liked the chaser so much, that he decided to create the kpop category for them. - Last Romeo: there's another version of the mv. In that version the storyline is set in a sinking ship. It's the original version, but before the video was released, the Sewol tragedy happened, so they have to change in respect for the victims. - The eye: "the eye" is a reference to the eye of a typhoon. Guess what happens before the song is released......There's a typhoon in korea. title tracks you missed: - Come back again: thair debut song, was shot in Woollim's CEO house because they didn't have money. The song got plagiarised by Disney in 2014. - She's back : was supposed to be a Shinee song, one of the members (I think it was Dongwoo) couldn't swim. - Nothing's over: after BTD, they didn't have any money, so all the stuff in the MV is recycled material. They got nicknamed "toilet peper group" after this. - Be mine: the song that brought them popularity and thair first win. They didn't have money for the music video, so woollim's ceo had to sell his house to pay for the mv. - Paradise: my favourite song so far. - "White confession" or "lately" : the only non-religious chrismas song I like (I hate chrismas songs so what they did is an accomplichement ^^) - Man in love: the cat is so cute, first mv not being directed by Hwang Su Ah. - Destiny : version B is official version: bot there's a version A which is a version with crashed planes. Well guess what happend a few days before the release of the mv......Asiana crash happened so they could not release version A to respect the victims. - Request: it's an add for samsung - clock: Sungyu was got to the army. As for variety shows: - My favourite is "sesame player" - Your my oppa is thair first variety show, if you want to check out thair personalities in thair debut era. - Infintie company makes more sense if you want to check out how they are today. - SNL korea : they appeared in SNL korea and it was so funny particulary with the boyfriend sketch. At a moment in that sketch there's a cult around woohyun called woohyunism and guess what happened a few days after........ It was revealed that SK president was involved into a cult. Because of this and the coïncidences that happend with the mv's of Destiny, Last Romeo and The eye the group was called "fortune tellers" Voilà I hope you enjoyed that long long long message and had the courage to read it all.
Thank you for all of the info! It was really fun to read. I’ll definitely get to ships eventually 😂 let me know if there’s any fun ship videos out there! I definitely plan on watching Reply 1997. I’m so proud of Hoya for playing a homosexual character despite the culture in SK. That’s amazing. I’ll add the other dramas to my list as well 😊 I’m still planning on getting through the rest of their TT’s for sure! Man in love, paradise, and be mine were other huge songs on my list! But also that’s wild that they had to change their MV’s because of actual tragedies happening in SK 😭 I’m actually planning on watching infinite company soon! 😊 it was highly requested!

@@ToniReacts better search "INFINITE comeback again concert" then you will find there are Day 1 and Day 2 online version of the concert. I think Day 2 is much better than Day 1 due to the camera movement and audio setting. Enjoy!!
@@ToniReacts yess pls react to it too! always looking forward for infinite reactions
Also Infinite is know as obsessive idols 😂 because they keep chasing back the girl who left them, already for 13 years! There was funny fandom joke about the style of songs of shinee, infinite and beast at that time, how infinite always chase after the girl and don't let to leave, beast is always heartbroken but try to play it cool and something like that, but sadly I did not find it now.. maybe later someday.
But yes, at that time they were famous as ShiBeIn trio who was popular and had good chemistry between them.
That’s so funny 😂 the lyrics are just wild in their songs but the songs are so catchy! I have someone that actually asked me if I could get into Beast/Highlight. I didn’t realize those three groups were so close!
imo Hoya's Reply 1997 is the best Infinite-related drama, but for Myung I quite like Secret Royal Inspector and Angel's Last Mission: Love. For variety stuff I would start with some more recent stuff (like surrounding the 2023 comeback or Infinite Showtime) and work back. I just think it's fairer to gather an idea of their personalities in their late 20s and 30s than to hold them as whatever they were at say 20. Hoya's dancing is pretty easy to find on youtube (either under Hoya or Lee Howon). I really love his Hit the Stage performance 'Intense melodrama' with Hyojin in particular. And if you follow him on instagram, most of his posts will include a video of him dancing.
I’m definitely going to watch Reply 1997! I’ll add those drama of L’s to my list as well 😊 yes someone else suggested I think it’s infinite company show? I’m down for that! I think it’s fun starting from the beginning and watching them grow but I think INFINITE just has too much content that it will take me a while to scratch the surface 😂
I found him on IG! I’ll have to add his hit the stage performance to my list 😊
@@ToniReacts yep I'd recommend Infinite Company as well! It's a good introduction to the remaining members. Also look for the 'stage focused' version of hoya's hit the stage win with hyojin.
@@ToniReacts oh btw most versions of reply 1997 available (e.g. netflix, viki) have a lot of the original music replaced with stock music. it's not totally essential to watch it with the original music, but it adds a lot imo and there are small bits cut out because a character is singing or dancing to a particular song. it would probably mean watching in lower quality on one of the sketchy sites though so i understand if you don't want to do that. you'll know it's the original version if the first flashback to 1997 begins with a ddr session to the song butterfly
For BTD, the song is great, the dance is iconic, but the MV is dark and depressing, used to avoid watching it in the past. And it's confusing to understand what is going on too xD But as far as I remember, Myungsoo and Woohyun trying to fight the shadow person at first who was keeping them trapped in that facility, after beating the shadow they realise that they need to fight with each other too and only one can escape. They fight, Woohyun kind if wins, but he refuses to leave Myungsoo behind and drags him along. But in the end they both still trapped...
I'm sure there is some eloquent explanation with how they fight with thier inner demons and shadow person symbolises the bad in them or something, but I'm not sure at this point 😅 its good and that's all!
The Eye is probably still my favourite title track if I had to choose, I love the instrumental there, the dance, the song itself and the vocals. In Korean the name of the song is Typhoon and the English name symbolise the center of the typhoon called the eye of it, it's the still and calm point with the fast speeding and winding winds around it.
And because of that all the tragedy and heartbreak in the MV happens internally, in the mind of Myungsoo.
Yes, there is theory that in the story all of them died except him and he is trying to deal with it, but it also might represent the inner struggles of the person who is going through hard times. In another theory members represent different emotions which main character is going through trying to basically survive (fear, regret, guilt, self-hatred, sadnesses, etc). But both theories make sense and have the right to exist in my opinion. ^^ It depends on how you look at it 😊
I found two articles with the theories and they fun to read through I think

There is also not that much of Dongwoo shots there, aside from the dance scenes and group ones, because during that time his father passed away and he was dealing with the grief.
A lot of the Infinite MV have story but they never explained it or explicitly talked about it and I think a lot if them expressed through symbols and different meanings
Ahhhh I think that’s fun that they leave things open to interpretation but also I need answers! 😂 jk but it is really interesting! Their MV’s are way more involved and complicated than I thought. And they all do pretty good acting too!
Awww Dongwoo 😭 poor baby. I know how that feels, I truly do.
@@ToniReacts yes, the same, I want to know! I want to have peace of mind! 😂
Thanks for the reaction Toni
and I do the same! I usually go through the title tracks first to see whether I vibe with the discography or not! Then I watch some variety shows to understand their personalities better which imo makes the music journey so much better. Then I go through the bsides and freak out over who is slaying what category lol
I’m glad I’m not the only one! 😂 I’m loving their discography so far! I’ll definitely get to some variety stuff soon 🥰 following them on socials has helped me a lot as well. Can’t wait for more infinite!
@@ToniReacts I'm glad you're enjoying their music😭And for starters I'd recommend Infinite Company! It's their most recent variety content and the episodes are not that long. When you dive deeper you can watch Infinite Showtime,Ranking King and so on(Not pressuring you tho😭Take your time I'm writing them down just to let you know)
@@ahgasengeneinspiritcarat oh that sounds fun!! I’ll add it to my playlist 😌 I’m trying to do two reactions on Mondays so I can keep up with the groups I’ve recently gotten into and also delve into some new ones!
I love L’s Secret Royal Inspector 👍🏻👍🏻
The latest drama is Numbers..and surprise.. Sungyeol is in the drama as well. 😁 i havnt finish watching it though.
Oh a drama with both L and Sungyeol??? Secret Royal Inspector already sounds so good 😂 I love detective/inspector dramas!
You should definitely watch Myungsoo in The Angel's Last Mission: love , Royal secret agent, miss hummarabi , one more time, The Emperor: Owner of the Mask , meow the secret boy
Please react to Paradise
Paradise is on my list to do next! Also Be Mine too 😊
Thank you for Reacting to INFINITE. Actually you picked some meaningful titles this time.
BTD - Introducing Scorpion dance to the Kpop
The Chaser - Best song of the Year 2012 according to Billboard
Last Romeo - 1st Twitter Emerging Artist in Kpop
The Eye - Last Title track as Infinite OT7
I would like to recommend you to do a song marathon if you can. I think it will be really interesting. If you think so then I will recommend some Infinite's B side tracks.
1. Voice of My heart
2. A person like me
3. I'm going to you
4. Moonlight
5. Breathe
6. Rosinante
7. Inception
8. I like you
9. Up to you
10. Time Difference
Oh I’d absolutely love to! I’ll see how much I can put into one video! I’ll also be starting infinite company soon I think
@@ToniReacts Wow good to hear it sister. You will love it for sure.
Thank you for all the love shown to INFINITE ☺. I hope you can react to CLOCK th-cam.com/video/v25_sV53agw/w-d-xo.html. The harmonization is insane. Please give it a listen.
Oh this is live?? I saved it, I’ll definitely check it out 😊
Thanks 😊
well that's right infinite song mostly are just so obsessive😂 when i wes teenager back than i really love the lyrics cuz i really love romance genre, but now when i listen to it again (i a little bit understand korean now) it's so skajaksjskkajskk sometimes feel so creepy, scary but also i want to laugh at same time like no don't do that! 😂 anyway even that type of korean drama are also populer back than ..😅
Literally same. I loved reading romance novels and dramas but now I find all of it a bit cringe 😂 the music is still really good tho! Even if the lyrics are a bit 😳
Oh yeah!!! Infinite! I missed them on your channel. My personal ranking is : BTD, The Chaser, Last Romeo & The Eye. It's like the order you reacted to 😄
Besides L - Woohyun, Hoya and Sungyeol also have acting careers.
For Drama with Myungsoo i recommend you to watch "Angel's last mission: Love". This drama is really good. And Myungsoo there... 😍 Even he is not my bias but he is my crush from the moment i saw him for the first time in another kdrama. I didn't know Infinite at that time. And even didn't listen to kpop.
About biases/ My #1 bias in Infinite was Sunggyu. But more i learned thier personalities the more Sungyeol biaswrecking him. And later Woohyun came here too. And now I'm confused 😅 I think i have 3 biases, like in BTOB 😄
For knowing members' personalities i think Weekly idol series are really good. And if you want to watch the whole reality show i would recommend to watch: Ranking King (quite old but funny and shows thier personalities the most) and INFINITE SHOWTIME.
Really??? Lmao that’s funny 😂 I liked the chaser a lot! All good songs tho!
Hoya has an acting career too?? I didnt know that 😂 myungsoo’s acting in these MV’s are sooo good.
I’ll make note of his drama! I really want to watch it. I still need to watch some of Sungjae and Jinyoung from GOT7 stuff as well. I’ve had Goblin on my list for awhile.
Yea usually there’s the ones that grab you with their looks but then you get to know their personalities too and you’re like I can’t choose! 😂 Peniel was my first bias in BTOB and then Hyunsik and Minhyuk wrecked me. Sungjae came for me too for a bit 😂
Oh weekly idol is a really good idea! Maybe I’ll watch an episode next time 😊
@@ToniReactsIn BTOB my first bias was Ilhoon (thanks to Weekly idol where Sunggyu and Ilhoon were guests 😂). Than Sungjae became my second bias and later Hyunsik 😊 3 most savage members towards thier hyuns😂😂😂
Jinyoung and Sungjae i watched every kdramas with them. Love them. Goblin is really good drama too.
@@ToniReactsYeah, Hoya played a gay character in love with the ML in "Reply 1997", which, if I may say, was amazing and so brave on his part.
SK is still a homophobic country, more so back then. Woollim asked Hoya if he was sure about taking it, but Hoya said he really wanted to do it.
I found it funny at first, because he was the "manliest" in the members. But, more so, scared for him and INFINITE. Playing a gay character, it could kill one's career.
But he did soooo well.
@@WittleJeh 🤯🤯🤯 I’m an avid BL watcher. I’m literally going to watch this asap 😂 so much respect for him taking on that role and in a time period where idols were afraid to do those roles. Now it’s become more popular, which I’m so glad idols are showing more upfront support for lgbtq+ given SK and the conservative culture there
@@maria_biba hi melody 💙 my bias is sungjae too and in INFINITE its L 💙 and yes you're right. In BTOB and INFINITE, anyone can be our bias 😅💙
Please react to Infinite
1. Destiny
2. Back
3. Man in love
4. Bad
I'm just going to say that there is already automatic English translation for Myungsoo's Japanese songs in the MVs (you should first watch Melody and then Starting Over, since it will tell you a story)
Oh perfect! Thank you for letting me know! Usually Japanese songs tend to get blocked on YT 🙃 but I’ll try my best to react!
Since you’re a dancer I was really hoping you’d react to their dance versions, it’s much less distracting & easier to view their dancing talent.
I would watch and engage with the dance practice vids if you do get to those. 😊
Oh I definitely will! I love love the dance practices 😂 I should’ve added them and made a long reaction! But I’m trying my best to stick to two reactions on Mondays so there won’t be as much time between INFINITE reactions again 🥰
I'll thank you so much for reacting to their song. Please watch Woohyun high School Loves On his acting is so good n with Myingsoo✌️🇺🇲🇵🇭
Will add to my list! Looks like there’s a lot of good dramas to get to 🥰
Please watch Nam Woohyun, High School Loves On,..is Outstanding! drama that's before l l know Woohyun was a kpo l doll, Myungsoo has a lot of drama thank you for reacting✌️🇺🇲🇵🇭
😂😂😂 now you know the “ship” LOL
Sungyu and Woohyun were used to be a roomate and they’re very close to each other. Sunggyu like to tease WH. You may watch their “switched parts” perfomances, its cute 😅
Awwww that makes sense why they’re so close! I didn’t realize they were roommates 😂 cuties
Hi, where should I start? I hope you can read it all despite my bad spelling.
The ships: yes WooGyu is a very popular ship and it's my favourite. But I think MyungYeol (Myungsoo x Sungyeol) is the most popular. YaDong (Hoya x Dongwoo) was also very popular, specially because yadong means porn in korean, so the ship doesn't have a very innocent image ^^ . MyungJong is also popular. But my favourite is HoJong (before Hoya's departure).
The dramas: I'm not really into k-dramas, plus I have eye pain sins 2015 so it's been hard to keep up with everything happening, because I cannot read subs properly anymore. But I really enjoyed "Jiu" it's L's first or one of the first drama. Alot of people seem to hate it, but I loved it. It's a japanese drama, He doesn't speak alot here.
There's also "highschool love on" with Woohyun and Sungyeol as leads. I only watched 6 episodes but I liked it because it's a fun fantasy love-triangle story who doesn't take it seriously.
Reply 1997, I enjoyed the first 6 episodes, but then I didn't like it as much, because I enjoyed when the protagonists were just friends, so when it becomes a love story, I don't enjoy it as much. Hoya plays an homosexual character, he fought to keep the role, because when the company learned the character was homosexual they wanted Hoya to drop from the show because they were affraid for his image, but Hoya wanted to keep the role even if the character was homosexual.
The obsessive lyrics: yes obsession is a recuring theme in thair title songs. The members said that when they read the lyrics for "come back again" (thair debut song) they said they were shocked by its lyrics, because it wasn't very typical at the time.
some "fun" facts about the MV's:
Most of Infinite mv's are directed by Hwang Su Ah. She did all the mv's before "man in love" and then she did "the eye", "Kontrol" Sunggyu, "still I remember" by Woohyun and "Delicious" by Toheart.
- BTD : WooHyu got injured in the back, and the MV had a age restriction in Korea because it was cosidered "too gory"
- The Chaser : the owner of Billboard liked the chaser so much, that he decided to create the kpop category for them.
- Last Romeo: there's another version of the mv. In that version the storyline is set in a sinking ship. It's the original version, but before the video was released, the Sewol tragedy happened, so they have to change in respect for the victims.
- The eye: "the eye" is a reference to the eye of a typhoon. Guess what happens before the song is released......There's a typhoon in korea.
title tracks you missed:
- Come back again: thair debut song, was shot in Woollim's CEO house because they didn't have money. The song got plagiarised by Disney in 2014.
- She's back : was supposed to be a Shinee song, one of the members (I think it was Dongwoo) couldn't swim.
- Nothing's over: after BTD, they didn't have any money, so all the stuff in the MV is recycled material. They got nicknamed "toilet peper group" after this.
- Be mine: the song that brought them popularity and thair first win. They didn't have money for the music video, so woollim's ceo had to sell his house to pay for the mv.
- Paradise: my favourite song so far.
- "White confession" or "lately" : the only non-religious chrismas song I like (I hate chrismas songs so what they did is an accomplichement ^^)
- Man in love: the cat is so cute, first mv not being directed by Hwang Su Ah.
- Destiny : version B is official version: bot there's a version A which is a version with crashed planes. Well guess what happend a few days before the release of the mv......Asiana crash happened so they could not release version A to respect the victims.
- Request: it's an add for samsung
- clock: Sungyu was got to the army.
As for variety shows:
- My favourite is "sesame player"
- Your my oppa is thair first variety show, if you want to check out thair personalities in thair debut era.
- Infintie company makes more sense if you want to check out how they are today.
- SNL korea : they appeared in SNL korea and it was so funny particulary with the boyfriend sketch. At a moment in that sketch there's a cult around woohyun called woohyunism and guess what happened a few days after........ It was revealed that SK president was involved into a cult. Because of this and the coïncidences that happend with the mv's of Destiny, Last Romeo and The eye the group was called "fortune tellers"
Voilà I hope you enjoyed that long long long message and had the courage to read it all.
Thank you for all of the info! It was really fun to read. I’ll definitely get to ships eventually 😂 let me know if there’s any fun ship videos out there!
I definitely plan on watching Reply 1997. I’m so proud of Hoya for playing a homosexual character despite the culture in SK. That’s amazing. I’ll add the other dramas to my list as well 😊
I’m still planning on getting through the rest of their TT’s for sure! Man in love, paradise, and be mine were other huge songs on my list! But also that’s wild that they had to change their MV’s because of actual tragedies happening in SK 😭
I’m actually planning on watching infinite company soon! 😊 it was highly requested!
