KARD is most popular in South America and Latin countries , their audience is huge! A lot of their music contains Spanish elementals. They have a lot Spanish covers, and even have Spanish in their own songs. All the members are Korean, but BM was born and grew up in LA. He is fluent in English, and is quite good at Spanish. Ring The Alarm is very KARD sound, their earlier songs have these vibes. I would recommend hola hola and oh na ha (which are their early songs) Red Moon is very good too! If you’re ever interested in getting to know them their most recent interview on studio grr is really good. BM (shirtless guy lol) Main Dancer, Lead Rapper, Vocalist Jseph (short hair) Main Rapper, Lead Dancer, Vocalist Somin (black hair) Main Vocal, Visual Jiwoo (colorful hair) Main Dancer, Lead Vocal, Rapper, Maknae
Not to forget that they are unbelivable funny together 😂 Everytime i hear someones concerns about mixed Groups ( Dating etc.) i remember that this 4 are worse than my Siblings 😅 They are so natural to each other. It's refreshing in this Kpop Industry, where Idols are afraid to Clap to much for another Idol or wear the same Nailcoat 😉 because the rumors start immediately.
FINALLY another LOONA reaction.. i've been waiting for months.. PLEASEEE do more of them! please, their vocals are SO good and their titles are amazing!!!
kard is extremely popular in latin america so they use spanish in their songs often! they’ve also done full covers in spanish and portuguese Yes all members are ethnically Korean but BM(the guy in the crop top) is from America. When they started releasing music they had a tropical sound and it’s what’s made them blow up so they stuck with it. After a while they strayed away from it but still had their own sound. This song is their return to it Fun fact: You’ve seen Jiwoo(purple/white hair) in the witch stage with Hyo you also liked her hair then it was black and white! She has some stuff outside of the group if you’re interested in checking her out. Her and somin also have an official duet called ‘enemy’ and have done covers together as well The guys and jiwoo rap and sing but somin(the girl with black hair) usually just sings which makes sense because she is the main vocalist Personally i recommend don’t recall, you in me and hola hola from kard as well! For bsides i love moonlight, dimelo, and hold on(this is a song written for j.seph before his military service)
Because Kard is a mixed group and because of their sound they are not known in Korea, but they are VERY popular internationally, especially in Latin American countries (I confirm this because I am from there). KARD know perfectly well that most of their fandom is from around here and that's why they give us a lot of attention and always put words, phrases and even songs in Spanish. BM (the guy with the crop top) did the song, he always does the title tracks with the help of Jseph (the other guy with the short hair) so they always make sure they include those Latin elements. KARD's popularity in these countries is so huge that as soon as Jseph got out of his military service a few months ago, the first thing they announced together with the group's cb was a tour in Latin America. You should hear more from them, they have this characteristic latin style and sound since their debut.
The Boyz’s previous universe song was actually about them being vampires! If you want to check out the mv “drink it” so this is kinda a story line they have related to vamps
Eric is the one who's currently on haitus because of his mental health~ Sweet is like the continuation of their Drink It MV, it's about vampires who wants to live with humans peacefully~ But according to Kevin he described Sweet as the Dark Ver. of Thrill Ride
Ring the Alarm is a BOP!!! I'm so addicted to it 😩 Ji-woo, the girl with colorful (?) hair did 2 performances with Hyo in Good Girl. You already reacted to one of it (Witch), i hope you can check out the other one- the title is "GG" which they did with Ailee. It's fire!!!
Kard are super popular in Latin America so yeah I believe they even have a song in Spanish. They are also one of the few current kpop groups singing live
The LOONA member you pointed out is Haseul, one of the leaders!! She is classically trained - the daughter of two opera singers - and is very very VERY beloved. She is Korean!
@@thehannahroboto haseul is the leader of the whole group! However, there are three subunits, and each has its own leader. Haseul, Kim Lip, and Yves. In practice it seems that yves and Kim lip share some responsibilities of managing the whole team - ex: yves was the one who appeared on queendom’s intro bit with the leaders of the other groups, not haseul.
Thank you for reacting to loona! Dont feel pressured to understand the loona lore and all of that, I am pretty sure you will have a blast just by listening to their songs and stuff xD Love from brazil o/
Hope you react to more LOONA, especially their solos which are before they formed the group, you don't really have to follow the lore because their music are bops anyways, I think you would really enjoy some of their songs :)
I'm glad you liked Ring The Alarm, it's very addictive, I can't stop listening to it. It is their first comeback after J.Seph finished his military service. From KARD I recommend that you watch the video on the channel ¨studio Grr¨ where they sing Ring The Alarm live, or on It's Live ¨Ring The Alarm¨ Band Live Ver. ... or both xd Other songs: Hola Hola, You In Me and Oh Nana
The Kep1er member when you notice her vocal is Chaehyun, she is my girl! She is SM ex trainee, if she still under SM she will debut with aespa, I think you need check out their new album, that album is so good. Life's Too Short is my favorite Aespa song btw
yes react to more loona pls!!!! The loona lore is incredible and there are guides that explain it better, the girl with pink hair is kimlip and the girl with the handong vibes is haseul (her vocals are impressive, she also sings opera and has her solo debut mv let me in). I'm absolutely sure you won't regret getting to know loona better.
My LOONA girls are still waiting on you! The lore isn't important at all, just the icing on top. (sorry, but I honestly think the last time I commented was when you reacted to LOONA's "Star." 😅)
Kep1slayed Your girl name is bahiyyih you can say hiyyih or bahi. Her brother name is Kai he is member of Txt. 16:04 Her name is Chaehyun. They don't have offical positions but she is probably our main vocalist . She hit 16 second high note in queendom 2. You need react their new album. Album was amazing. Like I said they don't have offical positions but Dayeon Hikaru Youngeun is probably our rapper. 10:17 Mashiro ( My bias with yujin
Kep1er released their second mini album called DOUBLAST and... IT'S AMAZING! Also Nayeon's mini album. Both are amazing, incredible bsides. Aespa's song is a pre-release but I loved it, the lyrics are for those haters who don't live or let others live. The song that came to your mind from the lyrics of Aespa's song is Wannabe by Itzy. I really enjoy your K-pop catch up and the long video, it's funny and love the transitions Keep going Sir! PD: the brother of your girl is from Tomorrow by Together (TXT) and their discography is *chef kiss* specially their latest comebacks
i love this format !!! especially with what you said at the end, most of the artists you said you probably wouldn't have reacted to were the ones I came for! happy to tune in to these (as well as, of course, your other vids for groups i love) when you drop them! also, about loona, its so worthwhile to love and try to follow the lore, but as someone who has many ults and other artists at the forefront, its understandable to be a bit hesitant with that stuff when you just wanna listen to their music. so, if you do continue to check them out, i think we'd all be fine with you talking about the songs and the girls, and ignoring any lore-related hints in their videos if you don't know what's happening 😅 that stuff tends to be mostly look-and-you-see-it, not really a distraction anyway :)
The boyz and Kard at once? yaaaaas thank you so much. Thank you for reacting to them. I was so anxious for this comeback. This is a song similar to how they started, more tropical and to dance, which made them huge here in South America. I'm so happy to see them together again, J Seph just ended his military service. I missed them so much. Austin, they have some darker songs in the latest years too. I'm happy to listen this latin vibe gain; but everything is good. You should try the other songs more darker.
I think you gonna love Kep1er bside LE VOYA9E, it's my favourite of the new bunch of songs they released! Also, you have to watch a live performance from KARD, their stage presence is INCREDIBLE.
This was such a fun video! I love to watch kpop catch-ups! If you do decide to explore 4th gen further, the group that bahiyyih's brother is in, TXT, is super fun and my personal favorite 4th gen group. They have a lot of bside music videos but I would recommend starting with their title tracks in release order so you can see how they've grown as a group. (the order is crown, runaway, cant you see me, blue hour, 0x1 lovesong, loser=lover, and good boy gone bad) They are generally considered to be one of the leading groups of 4th gen so it could be cool to see how their style has changed. Also there is only five of them so it wouldn't be too overwhelming.
You need to watch Drink it by the boyz, the Boyz concept in universe is vampires so they are vampires in a vampire village in this song, the other rapper is Eric and he is still on hiatus
Fun fact: BM (the guy in the crop top) is a fan and at the same time a friend of Monsta x, he even has a joke with Wonho and Shownu where the three of them are part of the Big Tiddie Gang (You can imagine why 🤣)
This is a good, enjoyable format. Nayeon surprised me a little. I know she is a good performer, but not only she, but the whole video was so creative. Even as a non-Twice/Nayeon stan I will probably watch this again. Kard, to me, is always worth a look/listen I hope Youngjaes new release finds its way into one of your K-Pop Catch Up videos. It's a nice and bright, little sexy song.
yay! another loona reaction! do you think you could watch all of loonas solos? each member has one and it’s a good way to introduce yourself to each member!! you could react four at a time if it’s overwhelming
Thank you so much for the reaction to The Boyz! It's fine if you don't vibe with She's the Boss😁 23:10 It's Haknyeon!! 24:30 Eric is the one on Hiatus for Health reason!
I loved this comeback. It was so fun and it was nice to see them do something with a little latin influence again. Jiwoo's light colorful hair reminded me of when they first debuted. The Jeon sisters (Somin and Jiwoo, not actual sisters btw), or the Jokers since they represent the joker cards in a card deck, have a song called Enemy that's really good. BM, the big guy, has mentioned before that he thinks if the girls were to become an official sub unit, that they would be unstoppable. The Kim brothers (BM and Jseph, king and ace cards respectively, not actual brothers) also have one called Inferno One of their full group songs "Trust Me" actually has 3 versions, one with everyone, one of just BM and Somin, and one of just Jseph and Jiwoo. Each one is fantastic. BM writes and produces, Jseph writes, Somin has a YT channel called Minny J, and Jiwoo was on Good Girl with our bias Hyo. I think you'll like them if you decide to delve more into them.
Loona is one of those groups when u get into thrm you wished you would have stan them from the very beginning. one of those groups that u find later and kick yourself for missing out on them for so long. one the most beloved and inspired group. they’re a real group. people call them the group with no visual holes for a reason. vocal flavors like ice cream - pick your favorite and it’ll continue to change. its the group thats so hard to keep a single bias and be faithful lol. Lore is just another layer to an already beautiful masterpiece. they are truly loved by people all over for a reason on and off screen. Loona and Orbits go hand in hand ❤️
You ain't wrong about KARD, I love them all! I got into them thanks to BM, but J.Seph is my bias and my girls are fierce af 😘 I feel like a guide for them word be helpful if you have the time or want to, of course 😁
the music video for She's The Boss is totally worth it checking out, even if you didn't vibe with the song the choreo is insane and it actually elevates the song so much (plus they look AWESOME)
Honestly, I get the thinking that LOONA has too much lore and the fans can get a bit toxic at times, but I've loved them since the start and you don't really need to focus on the storylines all that much to enjoy all that is going on. They're all good songs, from solos to subunits to full group songs. You really wouldn't regret it if you went through the journey from start to finish. Do it at your own pace and just enjoy listening to them because I can guarantee you won't regret doing so
Bahiyyih’s brother is Kai from TXT you should definitely check them out! They had a recent comeback ‘Good Boy Gone Bad’ you’ll be able to point out Kai right away. Him and his sister are identical
'' It's none of your bisuness \ I do my own business '' Itzy, Wannabe. The lyrics from Life's Too Short are really cutting, but they're delivered in such a sweet and beautiful way, the cognitive dissonance is just so delicious!
Kep1er did release a 2nd mini album w/ 4 other songs besides Up. You should definitely check it out. They did a stage for Le Voya9e if you want to watch it.
Kep1er's new album is really good. You should especially check out Le Voya9e. It's another "MVSK" situation, where many people like it more than the title track. It has a live stage as well as Up! Oh, and if you check out a live stage of Up!, I'd recommend MCOUNTDOWN 30th of June, it's the only one with real live vocals so far!
sir austin, you should react to kep1er's mini album! i guarantee you, every track in that mini album is a masterpiece. i even dare say that that is easily better than their first 🎀
It's 100% up to you if you want to dive into a group's lore or not. What other reason do we have for doing anything kpop related other then it's fun and we enjoy it? So I will always recomment Loona's music as they have one of my favorite kpop discographies of all time. But lore things are fully up to you. Yes they have structured and introduced it in a very interesting way that has a lot of people invested and it's fun to see colors, visual cues, dance moves, lyrics and think to yourself, how would this tie into the story? But if that's not your things it's not. I'll still appreciate a reaction! Also the girl you said gave you Handong vibes is Haseul, a korean member, who has classical/opera vocal training. And the girl at the start of the MV that you said was super cute is actually the chinese member, Vivi. She's the only foreigner in the group. ♥
All the dark side of being an idol or a human: Malicious rumors (Winter), hurtful online comments (NingNing), Invasion of privacy (Gigi), extreme stress and confidence issues (Karina) I loved your reaction! :)
KARD's Ring The Alarm is actually produced by some of Mamamoo's producers.. KARD's agency (DSP) is acquired by Mamamoo's agency (RBW) in the beginning of 2022..
BM from KARD grew up in the US and took Spanish throughout high school. So early on he was incorporating Latin elements and Spanish into their music. And because of that they gained a huge audience and fan base in Latin America. They’ve always been more popular internationally than they are in Korea. It’s still disheartening to see that KARD still doesn’t get that recognition they deserve.
Nayeon's solo!! I'm happy you're reacting to it, she's one of my ultimate biases. Also Loona!! Did you get a chance to check out Joshua's cover from last week? It's beautiful and perfect for pride ❤️
oh the the boyz member on hiatus rn is eric ! eric is the other rapper not jacob ! they both have english names so it’s easier to mix up haha also as a huge loona stan id love to see more of them here 👀 personally i think it’s fine if you just ignore the lore and enjoy the music i think lore and theories are just a bonus, you don’t have to understand it to listen to them !!!
23:00 That's Ju Haknyeon! Honestly, he's underrated and like never gets enough lines :c Even though he can sing, rap, and dance! He's actually half-Chinese and half-Korean :o A fun fact is that he likes to sing like all the time and the other members have called him out on it before XD Also, I'm not sure if I'm the only one but there are times where, from a certain angle, Haknyeon's face just gives off major Kai/Taemin vibes, so he caught my attention for that ;o 24:30 Oh it's actually Eric who's the other rapper and who is on hiatus rn, so he's not in this MV :c But yup I remember when The Boyz first debuted and I was surprised by how many English-language names they have lol (Kevin, Jacob, Eric, Q, New)
the loona member that reminded you of handong is haseul. she's the leader, and although the group doesn't have set positions, she's considered to be a main vocalist. classically trained, the daughter of two opera singers and one herself.
So how you pronounce Bahiyyih is Bah-Hee-Yeh, her brother is Kai from TxT. And Jean jacket is Chaehyun, she's a former SM trainee so you know her vocals are going to hit lol
for kep1er: afaik bahiyyih's name is pronounced "bahi-yee", that's how the hangul for her name look like: ba-hi-ye. and her brother is huening kai from txt!^^
KARD is most popular in South America and Latin countries , their audience is huge! A lot of their music contains Spanish elementals. They have a lot Spanish covers, and even have Spanish in their own songs. All the members are Korean, but BM was born and grew up in LA. He is fluent in English, and is quite good at Spanish.
Ring The Alarm is very KARD sound, their earlier songs have these vibes. I would recommend hola hola and oh na ha (which are their early songs) Red Moon is very good too! If you’re ever interested in getting to know them their most recent interview on studio grr is really good.
BM (shirtless guy lol) Main Dancer, Lead Rapper, Vocalist
Jseph (short hair) Main Rapper, Lead Dancer, Vocalist
Somin (black hair) Main Vocal, Visual
Jiwoo (colorful hair) Main Dancer, Lead Vocal, Rapper, Maknae
Not to forget that they are unbelivable funny together 😂
Everytime i hear someones concerns about mixed Groups ( Dating etc.) i remember that this 4 are worse than my Siblings 😅
They are so natural to each other. It's refreshing in this Kpop Industry, where Idols are afraid to Clap to much for another Idol or wear the same Nailcoat 😉
because the rumors start immediately.
aespa slaying with their English, vocals, visuals, and message! Life's Too Short is a BOP! 🙌🔥
Nayeon’s actually the lead vocalist! But yeah she did hit those notes in can’t stop me along with jihyo
FINALLY another LOONA reaction.. i've been waiting for months.. PLEASEEE do more of them! please, their vocals are SO good and their titles are amazing!!!
kard is extremely popular in latin america so they use spanish in their songs often! they’ve also done full covers in spanish and portuguese

45:40 thats Haseul, but she is korean. the only ethnically chinese member (nationality wise she is from hong kong) is ViVi, the girl at 43:38 :)
Eric is the one who's currently on haitus because of his mental health~ Sweet is like the continuation of their Drink It MV, it's about vampires who wants to live with humans peacefully~ But according to Kevin he described Sweet as the Dark Ver. of Thrill Ride

i just knew LOONA a month ago. I’m not into the lore, but I got hooked with their sound/music. i’m in the fandom to enjoy good music :)
Kard are super popular in Latin America so yeah I believe they even have a song in Spanish. They are also one of the few current kpop groups singing live
I’m glad Bahiyyih is getting more lines and screentime👏👏👏 Also her brother is in the group TXT.
45:39 Haseul's voice does have a similar vibe as Handong's but she's Korean!
43:38 she's the Chinese member! Her name is Vivi.
45:45 that is Haseul. She's the main vocalist and is trained in opera. She's full korean but I agree she does remind of of Handong
To answer your question, the guy you kept noticing in The Boyz is Ju HakNyeon, and he is amazing!
The LOONA member you pointed out is Haseul, one of the leaders!! She is classically trained - the daughter of two opera singers - and is very very VERY beloved. She is Korean!
one of the leaders? sorry i don't keep up with loona that much, do they have more than one leader? i always thought it was just haseul.
@@thehannahroboto haseul is the leader of the whole group! However, there are three subunits, and each has its own leader. Haseul, Kim Lip, and Yves. In practice it seems that yves and Kim lip share some responsibilities of managing the whole team - ex: yves was the one who appeared on queendom’s intro bit with the leaders of the other groups, not haseul.

Yes, kpop prince! LOONA are his ults! And it’s TOTALLY okay to be overwhelmed by the lore - it is JUST for fun, and is enjoyable either way!
Hope you react to more LOONA, especially their solos which are before they formed the group, you don't really have to follow the lore because their music are bops anyways, I think you would really enjoy some of their songs :)

Other songs: Hola Hola, You In Me and Oh Nana

also reaction without the lore is completely possible and lots of people do it!
Thank you so much for the reaction to The Boyz! It's fine if you don't vibe with She's the Boss😁
23:10 It's Haknyeon!!
24:30 Eric is the one on Hiatus for Health reason!
I loved this comeback. It was so fun and it was nice to see them do something with a little latin influence again. Jiwoo's light colorful hair reminded me of when they first debuted.
The Jeon sisters (Somin and Jiwoo, not actual sisters btw), or the Jokers since they represent the joker cards in a card deck, have a song called Enemy that's really good. BM, the big guy, has mentioned before that he thinks if the girls were to become an official sub unit, that they would be unstoppable.
The Kim brothers (BM and Jseph, king and ace cards respectively, not actual brothers) also have one called Inferno
One of their full group songs "Trust Me" actually has 3 versions, one with everyone, one of just BM and Somin, and one of just Jseph and Jiwoo. Each one is fantastic.
BM writes and produces, Jseph writes, Somin has a YT channel called Minny J, and Jiwoo was on Good Girl with our bias Hyo.
I think you'll like them if you decide to delve more into them.
OMG when u said Nayeon looked like she was going to her exes funeral 😂😂 she really gave us everything
KARD!!! Yessss love them
Loona is one of those groups when u get into thrm you wished you would have stan them from the very beginning. one of those groups that u find later and kick yourself for missing out on them for so long. one the most beloved and inspired group. they’re a real group. people call them the group with no visual holes for a reason. vocal flavors like ice cream - pick your favorite and it’ll continue to change. its the group thats so hard to keep a single bias and be faithful lol. Lore is just another layer to an already beautiful masterpiece. they are truly loved by people all over for a reason on and off screen. Loona and Orbits go hand in hand ❤️
æspa ⭐🦋💛🌙
Love this! 😍 I recommend Cody & Wyatt's TWICE guide. 💗
You ain't wrong about KARD, I love them all! I got into them thanks to BM, but J.Seph is my bias and my girls are fierce af 😘 I feel like a guide for them word be helpful if you have the time or want to, of course 😁
yeaaa we need more KARD!!))
I enjoyed all the songs but my favorite is Life’s too short. Love the melody and the message.
I am obssed with ¨Ring the alarm¨. Such a bop is unbelievable.
the music video for She's The Boss is totally worth it checking out, even if you didn't vibe with the song
the choreo is insane and it actually elevates the song so much (plus they look AWESOME)
Summer songs are some of the best kpop songs honestly! I definitely recommend checking out Nayeon’s mini album when you have the chance
Honestly, I get the thinking that LOONA has too much lore and the fans can get a bit toxic at times, but I've loved them since the start and you don't really need to focus on the storylines all that much to enjoy all that is going on. They're all good songs, from solos to subunits to full group songs. You really wouldn't regret it if you went through the journey from start to finish. Do it at your own pace and just enjoy listening to them because I can guarantee you won't regret doing so
Aespa's SMCU EP.2 NEXT LEVEL is awesome!!! Please react to it!!!
Bahiyyih’s brother is Kai from TXT you should definitely check them out! They had a recent comeback ‘Good Boy Gone Bad’ you’ll be able to point out Kai right away. Him and his sister are identical
I’m also so glad LOONA went with a kpop house route - just like SHINee introducing it to the kpop scene with view :)
'' It's none of your bisuness \ I do my own business '' Itzy, Wannabe. The lyrics from Life's Too Short are really cutting, but they're delivered in such a sweet and beautiful way, the cognitive dissonance is just so delicious!
Kep1er did release a 2nd mini album w/ 4 other songs besides Up. You should definitely check it out. They did a stage for Le Voya9e if you want to watch it.
Kep1er's "UP!" is actually a Mini Album, you should react to It you would not regret it;)
LOONAAAA hehe Finally
Kep1er's new album is really good. You should especially check out Le Voya9e. It's another "MVSK" situation, where many people like it more than the title track. It has a live stage as well as Up!
Oh, and if you check out a live stage of Up!, I'd recommend MCOUNTDOWN 30th of June, it's the only one with real live vocals so far!
you gonna LOVE loona solo predebut stuff, also the group its too much fun too handle and they are lgbt icons :)
I miss ur sm reactions especially Exo. I hope some day u’ll watch moon lovers with baekhyun or another kdrama with hs! We miss u
sir austin, you should react to kep1er's mini album! i guarantee you, every track in that mini album is a masterpiece. i even dare say that that is easily better than their first 🎀
Nayeon’s LV outfit was actually made of a towel. The staff said they searched all around the world for that specifically towel to make her the outfit.
It's 100% up to you if you want to dive into a group's lore or not. What other reason do we have for doing anything kpop related other then it's fun and we enjoy it? So I will always recomment Loona's music as they have one of my favorite kpop discographies of all time. But lore things are fully up to you. Yes they have structured and introduced it in a very interesting way that has a lot of people invested and it's fun to see colors, visual cues, dance moves, lyrics and think to yourself, how would this tie into the story? But if that's not your things it's not. I'll still appreciate a reaction! Also the girl you said gave you Handong vibes is Haseul, a korean member, who has classical/opera vocal training. And the girl at the start of the MV that you said was super cute is actually the chinese member, Vivi. She's the only foreigner in the group. ♥
All the dark side of being an idol or a human: Malicious rumors (Winter), hurtful online comments (NingNing), Invasion of privacy (Gigi), extreme stress and confidence issues (Karina)
I loved your reaction! :)
KARD's Ring The Alarm is actually produced by some of Mamamoo's producers.. KARD's agency (DSP) is acquired by Mamamoo's agency (RBW) in the beginning of 2022..
BM from KARD grew up in the US and took Spanish throughout high school. So early on he was incorporating Latin elements and Spanish into their music. And because of that they gained a huge audience and fan base in Latin America. They’ve always been more popular internationally than they are in Korea. It’s still disheartening to see that KARD still doesn’t get that recognition they deserve.
Nayeon's solo!! I'm happy you're reacting to it, she's one of my ultimate biases. Also Loona!!
Did you get a chance to check out Joshua's cover from last week? It's beautiful and perfect for pride ❤️
Yay more TBZ
Yes pls check out Nayeon mini album!!
one of the boyz member that going for hiatus is Eric not Jacob 🥰 and yep Eric is not participating on this song 😁
Aespa 💖💖💖
No the one who are in hiatus is eric, jacob were still with them. Anyways why sweet wasn’t a real comeback?? Im sick
oh the the boyz member on hiatus rn is eric ! eric is the other rapper not jacob ! they both have english names so it’s easier to mix up haha also as a huge loona stan id love to see more of them here 👀 personally i think it’s fine if you just ignore the lore and enjoy the music i think lore and theories are just a bonus, you don’t have to understand it to listen to them !!!
23:00 That's Ju Haknyeon! Honestly, he's underrated and like never gets enough lines :c Even though he can sing, rap, and dance! He's actually half-Chinese and half-Korean :o A fun fact is that he likes to sing like all the time and the other members have called him out on it before XD Also, I'm not sure if I'm the only one but there are times where, from a certain angle, Haknyeon's face just gives off major Kai/Taemin vibes, so he caught my attention for that ;o
24:30 Oh it's actually Eric who's the other rapper and who is on hiatus rn, so he's not in this MV :c But yup I remember when The Boyz first debuted and I was surprised by how many English-language names they have lol (Kevin, Jacob, Eric, Q, New)
Thank you for this catch up, really entertaining :D
Haknyeon is the one you keep noticing in the tbz mv! he’s rlly charismatic so i get you
the loona member that reminded you of handong is haseul. she's the leader, and although the group doesn't have set positions, she's considered to be a main vocalist. classically trained, the daughter of two opera singers and one herself.
So how you pronounce Bahiyyih is Bah-Hee-Yeh, her brother is Kai from TxT. And Jean jacket is Chaehyun, she's a former SM trainee so you know her vocals are going to hit lol
More of the boyz pleaseeee huhu 'drink it' is amazing. also their road to kingdom performances are 😍🤩🤩🤩
for kep1er: afaik bahiyyih's name is pronounced "bahi-yee", that's how the hangul for her name look like: ba-hi-ye. and her brother is huening kai from txt!^^
Bahiyyih's brother is in txt! I hope you get the chance to react to them too! They're amazing! I think you would like them.
