an interesting thing about this song too is that the korean and english versions are each quite different. while they each aim at bringing a similar message across the korean version is very realistic and talks about being yourself and working hard to achieve your dreams. the english version is the "dream version" where they talk about finally making it to the top and being rich, as this is something everyone dreams about at one point in their lives.
I remember listening to lyrics of this song and thinking how it doesn't match up with their concept of Regular being the everyday life and Irregular being the dream life, but now that the Korean version came out I remember that Regular (Kor) is actually the first and Regular (Eng) the last track on the album, and since the album songs slowly move from reality to dream state towards the end, it all makes sense!
Galadriel of Lorien exactly! that's another thing i find so great about the album: the story-telling. they mentioned themselves how it's supposed to take you on a journey similar to a blockbuster movie, which makes me so excited to listen to the full thing in order!
While I love the song and love the concept it is funny to listen to them flossin' in the song when you KNOW they are all living in a dorm sharing a bowl of a convenience store ramen.
@@wastelifetakenotes i disagree. I think bts has a certain sound that always comes through their songs despite them experimenting a lot. However, i do agree that nct always stick to their sound no matter what and thats why i love them
Caitlin Kershaw sorry, i didn’t mean to shade. i respect bts and it’s not the boys’ fault. i just feel like most of their current title tracks/singles are made for the mainstream western demographic - saturated with samples and autotune (which they btw don’t need at all). it’s good that there are still songs that are more “them” in their album. i do wish the boys have more creative control.. again, it’s not their fault. if they decided to cater to the demand, that’s more of a production/label decision.
The THING about this album for NCT 127 is the English Ver. in general has been theorized by other Nctzens as the "Dream" or "Irregular Version" of the album, and some of the members did explain that the album is told as a story if you go through it in order. Nct has played the dream concept for a lot of their songs and if you see the Nctmentary it basically uses the "Dream Terminology" as the name for the songs. For Nct 127's upcoming album they used the same Dream concept, but used the words 'Regular' and 'Irregular' to represent what is the dream and what is the reality. The 'Regular' song is actually the Korean ver. because it represents a realistic view and aspiration to work for your dream and work hard to get money, the 'Irregular' song would be the English version of Regular because it's a Dreamlike reflection of wanting to show off your loads of money and bragging about it, which you can see is reflected in the movielike experience from the music video. A lot of the Korean fans translated the Korean Ver. lyrics and said that the lyrics meant something a bit different and weren't as "braggy" which is also reflected in the music video since the cinematography isn't as dramatic. This is something I am LOVING about this album, the parallels between the Korean and English ver. of the song Regular, and the story they are trying to tell with the album! It's really evident that a lot of work and thought went into making this album so I hope all the Nctzens support the album and our bois! AH woops sorry for the rant heh It's very eye opening to have the translation by Korean fans and seeing all the cool theories about the album! Stan Nct!! Stan talent!!!
Ellvy Remi the korean one?? Because this one the English one could be said to have “cringy lyrics” because they are saying stuff like we got money etc etc. but the korean version is about working hard to have money etc etc. the English version is like a dream but the korean version is reality. Even the changes in the way the video is shot shows this. They’ve put a lot into this comeback and it’s rather impressive to say the least. Sorry for this essay just saying.
@@IGot7RevtinyArmyStayOnceBlink the english version lyrics was cringy and I'm not discrediting their mv i like it. It's just the english lyrics I don't get, like what was Haechan's lines "..looking like a water show"?? Just overall sound also, the korean version so was much better.
i feel like most people think the English Ver is more lit bc the English Ver is supposed to be in their Dreams, them imagining being crazy rich and the lyrics definitely reflect that. Meanwhile the Korean Ver represents Reality as the lyrics talk about being hardworking etc and even the MV is a little less crazy, more toned down. NCT's Dreams & Reality theme never fails to amaze me! It's so clever.
this is the only reaction that matters to me ngl. i love listening to your input about the songs and the mvs because you're credible and you know how to voice your opinions well. i agree with you that the song and mv were great for an american debut! a lot of people seem to think their lyrics were really cheesy but i dont think that's the case at all. either way, thank you for this 💚
Stephanie Buchan i love watching their videos as well! its just that they dont tend to react to things as they come out so i usually dont anticipate their reactions to newer stuff but i agree with you 💚
I think people forget that NCTs concept is completely about spreading worldwide one step at a time. It's neo culture, and their western debut is part of that and should come as no surprise! I wouldn't be surprised if they debuted a USA unit one day, that's just the ethic and concept behind NCT
They literally say Nct to the world when they greet people. Sometimes I think SM wants a NCT unit in every country. We are getting NCT China this year. Next country to have a unit I think is probably Japan. ( I know someone that would be super happy) I like nct concept because its interested. Makes you wonder what is SM next step with NCT. It make you curious. You hear a group with 18 +member. At first they might ignore it. To many members carzy them at first, but you keep hearing nct units popping out. It make they more curious that at some point they check nct. I Think SM wants to make NCT a brand. Like a expansive brand that everybody knows and wants.
the beautiful part of the lyrics here is that the korean version is the total opposite, and it was beautifully made cause the two songs are put in opposite positions even in the album tracklist. regular-irregular, they made it a concept, described the regular in korean and the dream, irregular life in english. beautiful, beautifully thought, stunning visuals, this is a bomb.
Thank you for this reaction! Finally someone appreciating the English version! Honestly the MV is gorgeous! I can't get over the scene of Taeyong and Mark in that "starry" room! I can't wait for you to also react to the Korean Version!
I see a lot of people having problems with the lyrics but honestly most of the songs that blow up in the US don’t have lyrics much better. Maybe the only difference is they’re much more comfortable saying it. But like come on did anyone expect them to roll through with Kendrick Lamar lyricism. Nothing they’ve said on this song is worse then Gucci gang Gucci gang Gucci gang or any of the 300 other western songs that take over. I think the boys did great. I hear the Korean versions lyrics are a bit deeper, and that makes sense. So great reaction! I really enjoy that you give props where props are due.
truth!! i went to a club and genuinely the only song lyrics i could hear was "gucci gang" and some weird "lean back" song 😂😂 i dont really care for the lyrics to this song much (sometimes i couldnt even rlly understand the english, but i appreciate the time and effort they must have put into learning the language just for the song!!) but man the music is so good 😌✊
what's cool is that in the context of the album it makes sense - it's the last track at which point in the story they're dreaming that all their hard work paid off and they're super rich 😉
@@GaladrielOfLorien to add on to that the English version is boastful because just to have an English song means they've made it worldwide and their dreams are coming true. Sure they probably aren't as rich as they're saying in the lyrics but they're not that far off with their growing success.
johnny deserves more lines exactly. I just think people are sometimes looking for something to criticize. I’m not saying it has to be your favorite track but it’s really really solid for a US crossover. I think pd really said my thoughts exactly
I know you don’t really react to teasers but NCT teaser videos ‘regular dream and irregular office’ have really pretty lighting and filming so it’d be interesting to see your take on it. :)
Finally someone who understand the whole things spoke. Some people just came to hate about things but can not appreciate. It's different when you actually know aspects or just biased. I hope lot of people will find NCT's cool & American will like them. The concept of the MV was also well thought. The English version lyric was more flashy, braggy, about getting rich & money. But Korean version was the opposite, it was much more than material achievements, it was about DREAMS, & being their authentic selves. In English version they really value the diamonds & things, while in Korean version they said they shine more than the diamond itself. They said they not satisfied with money they have in Eng version on regular, but they're irregular in Korean version, their goal wasn't money but more like the process of it. But actually the Korean was Regular (reality) & English was irregular (in their dream) Its amazing how they can mixed & switch all of the concept. I really blown away with all of this, it's really well thought.
I agree with your assessment of the Korean work ethic being a defining aspect of kpop. I also really love that CG set with Mark and Taeyong with the suspended lights. 😍
Big news! 1 in 10,000 ACT II is now available early screening. If you enjoyed ACT I and would like to support my films, you can purchase a $6 digital ticket to see it early RIGHT NOW. If not, ACT II will premiere later in November for the public. It really warms my heart how much people loved the first one. This is a very personal mini-series and a very intimate story for me. I poured my heart and soul into this and would love it if anyone can support
What you said at the end there was really profound and I've never heard anyone explain it that way. That's how i'll explain it next time someone asks me why I specifically like kpop
Same! I was really mindblown. It was like an unspoken truth. Like it was something I think I knew deep inside but can't word out. So the moment he said that I was like, "OMYGOD! THAT'S SO TRUE!".
Yasssss... he is right some of the american pop music i dont like coz its all about bragging in partying and bed scene (well not all of them but thats how lots of people pictured it) so usually i just listen to the song not music video. I may not like all the kpop music and their groups out there but i like more coz they show dedication and determination a lot. Thats what attracted me to kpop.
NCT's music is more for international audience that's why they debut in america, that's why they released a song in english.. that is their concept from the beginning y'all.. NCT Rise and Shine bby i got your back 💚🔥
I feel so represented by your videos, and this one specifically is one of the best reactions I've ever seen. I like how you speak not only for you but for me too. And thanks for your words about NCT, they deserve it.
I never comment on things, but I just have to say that I adored this music video. The dark room where two of the boys are dancing reminds me of one of Yayoi Kusama’s work. And the neon/dark environment goes so well with the song. I genuinely feel like a badass every time I listen to it.
I wish you would react to the Korean version of Regular! Not only do the lyrics deliver an entirely different message from the English version but also that part you seemed to like a lot with Mark and Taeyong rapping by themselves has more screen time in the Korean ver lol.
People need to understand that what identifies as KPOP does not only encompass the Korean language. Many music producers who have worked on songs- such as Bad Boy by Red Velvet- have said that Korean songs (even if sung in English) would not do well in the American market. Reason why being that Korean pop (and music in general) is FAR more musically structured than American music; Because it’s detailed, it’s more intricate and unique sounding. It’s probably also one of the main reasons why KPOP does well internationally, not just in the US. So, I’m glad you brought that up! There are many factors that make KPOP “KOREAN pop”, and it’s not just the language...it’s more than that. :’)
I think you should check NCTmentary series, if you haven't... the cinematography is topping any NCT videos itself and produced by same people (who make Regular MV)
BEST reaction video of them hands down. I'm not just talking about his reaction but that talk at the end was really really great and definitely made me understand some things better
NCT is just NCT I love really how being a relative new group they had a defined sound since the beginning. I love this song korean or English version. And i hope this helps NCT to achive more success in the future Stream Regular!
Could you react to the Korean ver please?? The Korean version has slightly different lyrics and vibe. It belongs more to the Regular half of the album whereas the English is on the Irregular half
When PD stays silent for 90% of a reaction you know sheet is gud. And nct is MESMERIZING. I am so happy and proud as a two years nctzen of where they are. They are on another level. They seem to do impossible choreos so smoothly... Their level is over normal standard and they keep becoming better!
NCT 127 Regular is really good 👍 I seriously love the difference between the english ver. and korean ver. It shows the dream and reality. If you look at the lyrics, you will definitely be amazed by it. Good job, NCT 127! 👏👏👏👏👏
This is definitely THE BEST REACTION VIDEO to Regular MV English version so far. Thank you so much for all of your sayings. I love NCT's music. They're something new and overwhelming that just makes anyone want to hear more and more but still very consistent. The boys worked really hard and this album is their very first and important step to show their talent, their vision to all people. Please please continue to support them. Thank you one more time ❤️
oh man,, i kinda teared up at the end. besides the fact that this is an nct video, and nct are my ults, just imagining them putting in all their effort into this comeback, into each comeback, makes my heart hurt. i wish we did better for them, i guess. i'm so, so, so proud of each member, and so proud of my boys.
with nct it also really makes sense that they make music in languages other than korean. their whole concept is being world wide and half the group is from another country outside of korea.
Yeah and still people dont get it. Some people act like NCT is a math problem. Also it makes since having members from all over the world, and being able to talk different languages. It fits the concept.
Your analysis is the best seriously.. you make us see the reason behind things.. truly NCT is not shying away from their korean self..they are proud of it... and their American debut has been planned even before their debut..NCT was made to be a global group..its just fortunate and coincidental that one of their seniors are ruling there..so they can always walk in their path and truly SM is a company that needs profit and through marketing this is the best time for any grouo to debut in America marketing wise..it will never not be a fact that most new kpop fanbase was created through BTS but it doesn't have to end with them.. we can all support anyone debuting. It takes a lot of hardwork really.. KPOP TO THE WORLD 👊💗🤗🤗🤗
PD been lavishing high praise left and right lately. Idk if kpop's just been especially good lately or what but it makes for great to watch reaction videos!
story time, I knew that NCT was making an american debut because my Dad (bless his soul) told me "I saw one of your korean bands on Jimmy Kimmel ... STC 500?? Or something?" I was like ... "NCT 127?" honestly I was impressed that he got close enough I could guess. I'm not a huge fan of NCT's sound and I dont think this song will be one of my faves BUT i'm super proud of them and support their efforts. Just cus I dont like it doesnt mean I cant appreciate their hard work.
But this not so new .. I mean K-pop was already in Japan by releasing Japanese version and China by releasing Chinese version...but they still are K-pop Being in new country like US is not so new thing that they never try before
BITCH this song is so freaking stuck in my head. I think the reason it doesn’t feel douchey, is that everything they’ve done has so much power. Like think of Boss, or black on black, or cherry bomb. They are very in your face a lot of the time, and we like them like that.
What PD said in the end about Korean work ethics was so true. Tbh that's why I stay true to Kpop and always go out to discover new groups because they make it worth . You can tell they work their asses off and it makes tou appreciate it ... 💜💜💜
High key wish he did a reaction video to the whole album because all the songs are honestly amazing. Favourite K-Pop album by far.. as expected from NCT
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS i really liked this music video sooo much and i think their korean ver is even better which is crazy bc the eng ver is just sooo good. btw are you reacting to the korean ver too?
Also Tiffany is doing the same, something never done before, she is breaching between Kpop and American Pop, a mix of sorts, and doing it solo. She should receive some credit along with BTS and NCT, since she is killing it too.
I really love this song so much... it's so complex and they were able to pull it off well.. my favourite parts are Taeyong's second rap and the bridge high notes by Taeil. And the Lee rappers duo 👊👊.. I just appreciate their hardwork so much.NCTzens are proud 💚💚💚🤗🤗🤗😍😍😍😍... the vibe is truly NCT... this is the dream version.. please react to the reality version of their hardworking self with the korean version.
Yeah! Taeyong did mention in a video that their album this time around would have the feel of a blockbuster movie. We can totally see that in the MV! Hehe they seem like rich CEOs and heirs who are actually secret agents
Yes! I've been waiting for your react!! The video is amazing and I really loved the song, maybe the lyrics are not substantial but... I don't care about, I mean, still been kpop (in my mind) and maybe because I'm a fan but one song with this kind of lyrics doesn't affect me. I'm hoping they will be getting bigger and bigger 💚
Thank you for your reaction! I really appreciate people who are decently looking at kpop acts debuting in the West. Also i 100% agree about your words on them still being kpop or not.

"They didn't sacrifice any part of them to cater to an american audience... It sounds like an NCT song" YES YES YES 100 %

MY BANK ACCOUNT GO
Finally someone who understand the whole things spoke. Some people just came to hate about things but can not appreciate. It's different when you actually know aspects or just biased. I hope lot of people will find NCT's cool & American will like them.
The concept of the MV was also well thought.
The English version lyric was more flashy, braggy, about getting rich & money.
But Korean version was the opposite, it was much more than material achievements, it was about DREAMS, & being their authentic selves.
In English version they really value the diamonds & things, while in Korean version they said they shine more than the diamond itself.
They said they not satisfied with money they have in Eng version on regular, but they're irregular in Korean version, their goal wasn't money but more like the process of it.
But actually the Korean was Regular (reality) & English was irregular (in their dream)
Its amazing how they can mixed & switch all of the concept. I really blown away with all of this, it's really well thought.
I agree with your assessment of the Korean work ethic being a defining aspect of kpop. I also really love that CG set with Mark and Taeyong with the suspended lights. 😍
Can you react to Young by Baekhyun and Loco and also We Young by chanyeol and sehun???!
YASSSSSSSSSSSSS
Everybody's young in SM 😁
Mark really popped off at the last chorus goddamn.
Yuki MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY
Big news! 1 in 10,000 ACT II is now available early screening. If you enjoyed ACT I and would like to support my films, you can purchase a $6 digital ticket to see it early RIGHT NOW. If not, ACT II will premiere later in November for the public.
It really warms my heart how much people loved the first one. This is a very personal mini-series and a very intimate story for me. I poured my heart and soul into this and would love it if anyone can support
please react to the korean ver mv too! its totally different in every aspect!
What you said at the end there was really profound and I've never heard anyone explain it that way. That's how i'll explain it next time someone asks me why I specifically like kpop
Same! I was really mindblown. It was like an unspoken truth. Like it was something I think I knew deep inside but can't word out. So the moment he said that I was like, "OMYGOD! THAT'S SO TRUE!".
Yasssss... he is right some of the american pop music i dont like coz its all about bragging in partying and bed scene (well not all of them but thats how lots of people pictured it) so usually i just listen to the song not music video. I may not like all the kpop music and their groups out there but i like more coz they show dedication and determination a lot. Thats what attracted me to kpop.
NCT's music is more for international audience that's why they debut in america, that's why they released a song in english.. that is their concept from the beginning y'all..
NCT Rise and Shine bby i got your back 💚🔥
2020 and i always listen to this song. you don’t know how in love i am with the bass in this song.
SM and NCT *snapped* with this song and video
I feel so represented by your videos, and this one specifically is one of the best reactions I've ever seen. I like how you speak not only for you but for me too. And thanks for your words about NCT, they deserve it.
I never comment on things, but I just have to say that I adored this music video. The dark room where two of the boys are dancing reminds me of one of Yayoi Kusama’s work. And the neon/dark environment goes so well with the song. I genuinely feel like a badass every time I listen to it.
god i love how cinematic this video is; i also had the same reaction at that mark/taeyong rap/dance break lol that scene is so stunning
"Regular" isn't kpop music or american music. This is NCT music =))))
I wish you would react to the Korean version of Regular! Not only do the lyrics deliver an entirely different message from the English version but also that part you seemed to like a lot with Mark and Taeyong rapping by themselves has more screen time in the Korean ver lol.
People need to understand that what identifies as KPOP does not only encompass the Korean language. Many music producers who have worked on songs- such as Bad Boy by Red Velvet- have said that Korean songs (even if sung in English) would not do well in the American market. Reason why being that Korean pop (and music in general) is FAR more musically structured than American music; Because it’s detailed, it’s more intricate and unique sounding. It’s probably also one of the main reasons why KPOP does well internationally, not just in the US. So, I’m glad you brought that up! There are many factors that make KPOP “KOREAN pop”, and it’s not just the language...it’s more than that. :’)
I think you should check NCTmentary series, if you haven't...
the cinematography is topping any NCT videos itself and produced by same people (who make Regular MV)
Taeyong is so good and HANDing
BEST reaction video of them hands down. I'm not just talking about his reaction but that talk at the end was really really great and definitely made me understand some things better
idk if sm realized they just made a masterpiece
NCT is just NCT
I love really how being a relative new group they had a defined sound since the beginning.
I love this song korean or English version.
And i hope this helps NCT to achive more success in the future
Stream Regular!
This MV is definitely NCT's best MV. So good. Also preach about Korean work ethic!!
Could you react to the Korean ver please??
The Korean version has slightly different lyrics and vibe. It belongs more to the Regular half of the album whereas the English is on the Irregular half
When PD stays silent for 90% of a reaction you know sheet is gud. And nct is MESMERIZING. I am so happy and proud as a two years nctzen of where they are. They are on another level. They seem to do impossible choreos so smoothly... Their level is over normal standard and they keep becoming better!
I think a lot of what you said was really beautiful in analyzing the change that these groups are making in the world of music. Really cool!
NCT 127 Regular is really good 👍 I seriously love the difference between the english ver. and korean ver. It shows the dream and reality. If you look at the lyrics, you will definitely be amazed by it. Good job, NCT 127! 👏👏👏👏👏
I've waited for this
You're reaction videos are honestly the best ones
This is definitely THE BEST REACTION VIDEO to Regular MV English version so far. Thank you so much for all of your sayings. I love NCT's music. They're something new and overwhelming that just makes anyone want to hear more and more but still very consistent. The boys worked really hard and this album is their very first and important step to show their talent, their vision to all people. Please please continue to support them. Thank you one more time ❤️
Well, it’s only “Kpop” to the rest of the world, to them, it’s just “Pop” and I feel we should see it this way as well
Yeah.....
this is their best music video and one of their bests songs, the chorus is addicting in both english and korean, i can't stop listening to it
Production wise its aces. I haven't checked out the Korean verison yet, look maybe the lyrics are growing on me...
NCT ah I’m so proud of them. I think they are destined for greatness in America. I’m really excited for their future.
Why didn't you react to Igoholic by plt? It blew up, such a great song...
But thank you very much for appreciating NCT! :)))
Марина Трайгель YES PLT IS AMAZING AND IGOHOLIC SLAPS
oh man,, i kinda teared up at the end. besides the fact that this is an nct video, and nct are my ults, just imagining them putting in all their effort into this comeback, into each comeback, makes my heart hurt. i wish we did better for them, i guess. i'm so, so, so proud of each member, and so proud of my boys.
DO A DIVING DEEPER INTO NCT
OH MY GOD YESSS PLEASEEEE
The full album is also incredibly good, the songs are super super duper good and enjoyable
Legend says he still jams out to this
Nah I jam to Superhuman now
Form of Therapy Omg ahahahaha
with nct it also really makes sense that they make music in languages other than korean. their whole concept is being world wide and half the group is from another country outside of korea.
Yeah and still people dont get it.
Some people act like NCT is a math problem.
Also it makes since having members from all over the world, and being able to talk different languages. It fits the concept.
Your analysis is the best seriously.. you make us see the reason behind things.. truly NCT is not shying away from their korean self..they are proud of it... and their American debut has been planned even before their debut..NCT was made to be a global group..its just fortunate and coincidental that one of their seniors are ruling there..so they can always walk in their path and truly SM is a company that needs profit and through marketing this is the best time for any grouo to debut in America marketing wise..it will never not be a fact that most new kpop fanbase was created through BTS but it doesn't have to end with them.. we can all support anyone debuting. It takes a lot of hardwork really.. KPOP TO THE WORLD 👊💗🤗🤗🤗
LOOKING LIKE A FASHION SHOW
DIAMONDS ALL ON MY NECK LIKE A WATER SHOW
can you please do a listening party of their album?? it's so good!!!!!!💖💖💖
NCT is one of my fave groups (along with SHINee & Day6), they just make good fucking music with well made mvs and dope choreos 👌👌
FINALLY I'VE BEEN WAITING
PD been lavishing high praise left and right lately. Idk if kpop's just been especially good lately or what but it makes for great to watch reaction videos!
story time, I knew that NCT was making an american debut because my Dad (bless his soul) told me "I saw one of your korean bands on Jimmy Kimmel ... STC 500?? Or something?" I was like ... "NCT 127?" honestly I was impressed that he got close enough I could guess. I'm not a huge fan of NCT's sound and I dont think this song will be one of my faves BUT i'm super proud of them and support their efforts. Just cus I dont like it doesnt mean I cant appreciate their hard work.
ur an intellectual TY
I went to kcon and seeing them perform was amazing. By every move they do you can just see how much they practiced and worked on it.
when migos meets J.Balvin (or bad bunny)meets Kpop
This is K&B... R&B with a Korean flavor. The beat is sick, the song is catchy, and the dancing... you already know with NCT. Playlist right now!!!
PLEASE REACT TO SUPER JUNIOR "ONE MORE TIME"
YES! I totally agree about the lyrics feeling earned and them keeping their style even in an American debut!
But this not so new .. I mean K-pop was already in Japan by releasing Japanese version and China by releasing Chinese version...but they still are K-pop
Being in new country like US is not so new thing that they never try before
BITCH this song is so freaking stuck in my head. I think the reason it doesn’t feel douchey, is that everything they’ve done has so much power. Like think of Boss, or black on black, or cherry bomb. They are very in your face a lot of the time, and we like them like that.
I also think the word douchey doesn't make them seem bad, b/c they actually hustle! so they deserve to say it.
Grecia Castro absolutely!
I think it isn't douchey bc we know sm is barely paying them 💀
Yoooo so true lmao. These kids arent making shit
70% of the money goes to the artist itself.
@@Setetoto I think it's different for SM? It was rumored that their artists only get 5% of the profits? Or I don't know. 😅
But I think that small % amount they get is still way more than other groups. So it's still okay i guess. Hehe
@@eve_ss7780 actually they get less than what other companies give soooo
Their american debut and promo tour has been SOO fun for my american nctzen friends and I :') 127 genuinely had so much fun too!!
"You don't want to go into the U.S. and become an American" -PD 2018 👌
What PD said in the end about Korean work ethics was so true. Tbh that's why I stay true to Kpop and always go out to discover new groups because they make it worth . You can tell they work their asses off and it makes tou appreciate it ... 💜💜💜
Jaehyun is my bias but HE SNATCHED ME SO BAD
kpopiskillingme andkeepingmealive And that’s the queso
High key wish he did a reaction video to the whole album because all the songs are honestly amazing.
Favourite K-Pop album by far.. as expected from NCT
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS i really liked this music video sooo much and i think their korean ver is even better which is crazy bc the eng ver is just sooo good. btw are you reacting to the korean ver too?
PD dropping straight facts only! NCT really out here slaying and they deserve all the love!
This song is lit SO LIT
Also Tiffany is doing the same, something never done before, she is breaching between Kpop and American Pop, a mix of sorts, and doing it solo. She should receive some credit along with BTS and NCT, since she is killing it too.
Like they said its like a blockbuster movie... 👏👏👏
I really love this song so much... it's so complex and they were able to pull it off well.. my favourite parts are Taeyong's second rap and the bridge high notes by Taeil. And the Lee rappers duo 👊👊.. I just appreciate their hardwork so much.NCTzens are proud 💚💚💚🤗🤗🤗😍😍😍😍... the vibe is truly NCT... this is the dream version.. please react to the reality version of their hardworking self with the korean version.
WHEN I SHOW UP I'M THE ONE AND ONLY
NO NO NO
YEAH, PULL UP IN THE JAG, HATERS GON BE MAD
Yeah! Taeyong did mention in a video that their album this time around would have the feel of a blockbuster movie. We can totally see that in the MV! Hehe they seem like rich CEOs and heirs who are actually secret agents
ITS A LATIN JAM MY QUESO BOOOOOY
I loved the MV when I saw it the first time but after watching with you and seeing your enthusiasm and praise, I love it now even more!!!! Thx
I BE WALKIN WITH THE CHEESE, THAT'S THAT QUESO
ive been waiting for this- i think it may be one of my fav NCT comebacks ever
Yes! I've been waiting for your react!! The video is amazing and I really loved the song, maybe the lyrics are not substantial but... I don't care about, I mean, still been kpop (in my mind) and maybe because I'm a fan but one song with this kind of lyrics doesn't affect me. I'm hoping they will be getting bigger and bigger 💚
Totally agree on the work ethic discussion, say whatever you want about kpop but they work their asses off
12:48 yaaas
Thank you for your reaction!
I really appreciate people who are decently looking at kpop acts debuting in the West. Also i 100% agree about your words on them still being kpop or not.
