The mv depicts narcissism btw. It’s Based on the Greek God ‘Narcissus’ who was so entranced by his own reflection in a pool of water, and killed himself because he couldn’t “have himself”. Which explains the mirror scene in the mv, but I think it also depicts how this is a secret part of himself that he hides from other people which could represent two different personas of himself, the white jaehyun (the one outside the apartment), and the other jaehyun that’s inside the apartment. Also the sticky stuff is amniotic fluid, and represents himself being reborn. Loved how deep Jaehyun decided to go with the meanings behind the Mv! 😊
Jaehyun/Jamal, his swagger is always swaggering. This handsome man absolutely knows his Rhythm and Blues musical style to the fullest. He is definitely giving old school vibes throughout this video with the way it was filmed, and the song itself. Jaehyun's vocals have always been dreamy and sultry sounding. And, his dance moves are so smooth and clean, his chorography blends so well with the lyrics in the song. Also, you know Jaehyun's all about business and seriousness, when his hair is black and his suits are all on point. He has an incredible sense of style, mixed with an old soul vibes. His visuals are a vibe as well. Every angle of his face is a beautiful work of art. Like always, I enjoyed all of your reactions to "Smoke", especially your reaction Bang Bang. I like your sense of humor, and I agree with you, this song and video is totally Grown Folks music, and to also add to that, the "Smoke" is the right combination of sexy and classy, in my opinion. This is a good song and video. Well, everyone have a safe, productive, and great week. Take care. ❤️🙂 Suzanne
JAEHYUN making a strong push for solo-ist of the year! the horns remind me of the production from justin timberlake 20/20 experience era! I was hyped for yall to see this one!
@@shathaalghamdi1302 nightwalker had a nice concept but the music wasn't really my vibe. I feel like jaehyun's is a bit more easier to digest and more balanced in terms of the music and the creative direction of the story/mv. Totally respect your opinion though! (I'm saying this as a ten bias)
Hey guys love the reaction! JAEHYUN is all that, always has been! For those who've been sleeping on him check out his solo covers and originals over the years! I believe the number 23 is from NCT having 23 members in the beginning, between the interchangeable NCT Dream, NCT 127, NCT U and the Chinese version WayV. Now they have NCT Wish and with Taeil and Lucas gone the number has obviously changed.
3:37 reactor Koko3op said the horns have JT 20/20 vibes. I lk side-eye Justin, but ref is valid, andJamal floating over some brass is great. This whole album just feels authentic to his tastes/influences. Agree with Ace: would love to see more studio footage -- esp. in LA -- to see how this came together.
it’s actually unfair how talented and gorgeous he is
Jaehyun is a huge jazz enthusiast so I love that it’s the outro!
I just love jazz so much this album is perfect
In case no one told you guys,Babyface wrote one of the songs on his album!
Explains the “Whip Appeal”
This is gonna be good! I hope yall can listen to his album bc he worked so hard on it and it’s sooo good definitely a no skip😮💨💚
FR (also is that Jaemin in your pfp?)
@@Cloudyskies333 yesss it is☺️😝
@@nickuhhlet8399 I knew it! I recognise his toothpaste ahh hair from a mile way 😌
The album really shows Jaehyun’s artistry and appreciation for music. Jaehyun worked with Babyface and Emotional Oranges in this album.
Tone Stith too
This album is just pure RnB goodness, yet every song has its own distinct color. Good music makes me so happy.
