he has a permanent injury (from a car crash) so he cant join live stages and dance choreos. on the last comeback (blacksuit) he only danced on the second part where he's got lines. it's sad, tbh but he's health is priority so,
myungsoo's yeoja It's so important to emphasize that this car accident happened back in 2008 (?) and it's been so long. It's becoming clear that Heechul will never make a full recovery, but he's desperately trying to do what he can to stay capable. I think I read somewhere that Eunhyuk even begged him to stay when Heechul considered leaving because of his injury holding the group back.
stickstriker yeah, i think heechul talked about how eunhyuk begged him in a show, probably life bar or sj returns im not sure where. but yeah, i dont think he'll have full recovery as well thats why it is so sad. im just glad that the members were so understanding abt it and kept encouraging heechul to atleast not leave the group.
At first when the news came out that Heechul would not be participating in the comeback, I thought it meant that he would totally not be singing any part in the song. When the promo pics came out, I was shock to see him in them. I’m so glad he participated in this song, even if it was only a few lines ☺️☺️
I think the correct term is "chronic pain". He suffered from a very traumatic injury and damaged his ankle back in 2006. I am guessing since the injury was so, so, so bad, he was never able to do a full recovery. He actually apologized to fans back when they had the Black Suit comeback, stating that he didn't want fans to worry because of his absence, so he participated in the promotions. Though, this song in particular is too dance-heavy for him to be participating in; and it seems like with age, the pain in his ankle is getting worse. He also commented that he tried to participate in the Black Suit promotion stages, but during rehearsals the first day, he went to sleep and the next morning he woke up in so much pain he wasn't even able to walk. So that's why he decided he had to rest during this comeback, and he isn't much likely to be able to dance anytime soon, or ever again, for that matter.

I am Hispanic and I didn’t feel like this song was cultural appropriation at all! They did a great job of including Leslie Grace which I am officially a fan of! They didn’t just use her for a bit, that’s what I was expecting. They did a very amazing job with the song, My Latin ass was SHAKING lol
Girl same, I’m hispanic and I didn’t feel like they were appropriating or using our culture in any way. The song is very catchy and the use of the acoustic guitar got me shook. The color palette and their outfits were amazing and really got that latin warm. I love it and can’t wait for their concert ❤️❤️❤️
Don't let chogiwa die Yesssss that acoustic guitar was beautiful! I would love to see them live!❤️ And your profile pic was me watching the MV lol
same!
Same, I'm Mexican American and I thought that they did a good job.
PINKIE ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ yes!! I hit the replay bottom so much I think I broke it 😂 Chanyeol is all of us while watching this masterpiece ❤️❤️
"siwon always looks like a god"
Jess Convocar a mood
Question is when is Siwon not a god? When is all of Super Junior not gods?
Given that Super Junior has the strongest fanbase in Latin America for years, this is a nod to them. Having Leslie made this more memorable. The boys know how to give back to their fans.
Literally the best thing they could do
THE LIVE STAGES WITH KARD ARE LIT
daegu panda YES! I need him to react to that
I was kind of hoping that he would react to those stages too.
Xaris Villa
Reactors can't react to live stages anymore, unforunately
I totally forgot about this. Sigh. Several TH-camrs were hmm... warned? So very annoying.
Honestly I didn't like them. I don't know, I just didn't feel they were the right choice.
heechul is permanently injured because of a car crash a few years back, he also finds it very regrettable that he can only do the bare minimum during comebacks but because of suju's intense choreographies it's very hard for him to participate in these things :/
2:18 "where is Ryeowook?"
MY ULTIMATE BIAS FEELS JUST HIT ME AND I ALMOST CRIED.
Yes, he's in the army atm. He will be discharged in july 10th.
Oh~ just wait a little bit more~ congratulations
82 days moreeeeeeeee
sara junghwan I know, but these past months have felt like an eternity TT TT
Senpai Jecho IT IS !! 😭😭 It feels like time moving so slow these days..
ikr???? The first year was fine but now these months have turned into an eternity!
Tbh, I was expecting her to sing a little bit coz hey, that's how kpop usually does it. I was really (pleasantly) surprised to see her sing a lot (in Spanish!) and even dance althroughout the song. It felt like she was a member, didn't look awkward. She just fit right in. Yes, it is indeed very well done. I mean, I'd be kind of pissed off if they ask me to go all the way to South Korea just to sing a few lines. Lol. Leslie seemed to have enjoyed the collab a lot too.
Yes!! It was a great collab. I just love to watch videos of interviews when they came together to Latin America for the Super Show and at Kcon NY, they looked so comfortable with each other and it was obvious that they were having fun and enjoying it!!!! Hope to see them perform again together!
I think Super Junior can just make it work with whatever concept they do~
Cultural appropriation - stealing something originating from one culture and trying to say you created it (e.g. if black people started wearing hanboks and saying its african culture)
Cultural appreciation - recognizing a specific culture while showing off an aspect of it along with being true to its nature (e.g this song)
the thing is, by this definition, kpop idols wouldn't be criticized by black americans for having dreads.. which is not the case?
Probably because alot of young idols are ignorant about the history and culture of black americans, they do it just to be cool. And alot of black celebrities still get alot of shit for rocking dreads or just their natural hair. While other races are praised for it
@@Jdisdudike But theres also a crazy history and prevalence in present kpop with blackface and stereotyping involving black persons.
but those who never said anything bad about black people, are judged because of the bad ones then? also it's popular mostly because the US always start trends, like.. that's how the US's softpower works for years now (if this trend was started by Brown latinos, they would do the same just like latin or oriental music is a trend in kpop right now)
I understand that this is in good part a collaboration in preparation for their South American tour, a huge nod to their Latin fans. As always, SuJu are prepared to take risks, experiment with something new and . . . they pull it off AMAZINGLY.
Im a mex-american - i personally dont think it was cultural appropriation. They werent disrespectful at all, they werent mocking at all. I guess there is the stereotype that we are sex obsessed, and that happens to be what this song is about, but it was mostly detailed in the korean parts.
Thanks for saying ita latin based too! Most people would say " mexican influenced" while it isnt the case. we all get grouped as Mexicans until we have to explain different things to them
tooearlyforapril I'm mexican and my mom loves this :)
tooearlyforapril
That's why you have to read all the interviews that gave Super Junior and they explained all the aspects about the set, the song, etc.
So, I'm Mexican and for me this videos is so good. I don't think your comment could be correct, you maybe live with steroypes all the time.
Karen Ponce oh i wasnt saying it had any stereotypes or insulting it all! I do need to watch their interviews though.
Yeah that pisses me off how alot of people i knew would think everyone from spanish decent was Mexican.
true
My initial thought after watching the video over and over again was, why did they need a Korean actress when it could have been played by Leslie the entire time cause of how she did parts of it but! They producers actually thought ahead of me because! After giving it some thought, if they were to use Leslie as the main girl lead in the scenes it would of come off as Latina girls are easy? Or sexualized?? In which case she just had very honorable moments and a lot of verses. This production was executed excellently and has no negative connotation what so ever, it’s perfect. I love it!
As a Mexican that is not into reggaeton, bachata and similar genres, they pulled it out awesomely. It felt so right everything, it felt so respectful towards Latin culture, they even included snow for us because they wanted us to experience what snowing was :'3 I mean, this is by far one of the best collabs I've ever seen, and I'm so glad they worked with Leslie and PlaySkillz, SuJu... is just awesome
Gina So that's why they added in snow.
Yep, they mention it on an interview, it was so cute uwu
I too am really into how much they featured Leslie Grace. It feels like a TRUE collaboration instead of it just being tokenism. Dare I compare it to RANIA where Alex was actually a member and just came in and out of the choreography to do a rap. It was very cool.
Its nice to see Suju doing something different and new and I am really into the song.
I'm from South America and I can tell you people really love it here! It just means so much for Latin ELF they did a song like this. We don't see it like cultural appropriation, it shows how much they care of this side of the world and they desire to experiment. That's why we love them 💙💙💙 And now we Latin ELF can sing a song more confidently than ever at SS7! 😆😅 Just a few more days 😍😍😍😍😍😍💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Kurmi Choque oh yes! Given Super Junior has the strongest fanbase in South America.
KARD! just heard you talking about them in the video. I know you can't react to it because it is a live stage but watch their music show stages. They are doing the shows with the KARD girls and they sing the parts of Leslie Grace.
They do but not in Spanish like Leslie does. But they should have chosen Wendy from red velvet which she is fluent in spanish.
Stryke1399 I think he watch it just that the original mv is the main things that should be focusing.
Al Quint
No, Jiwoo and Somin fit really well with the song. Heechul recommended them
ohhh wow! Heechul you da man
Stryke1399 SuJu is the only group in SM get to manage their own album and music since 2015. So whatever you see is being planned out by the boys, From choosing the song, lyrics n rap writing, dance cheography, stage performance layout so as inviting the girl is all decided by the boys.
I seriously LOVE this comeback, I’m so happy of the Spanish through all the song. I’m Latina and I it’s the first time I can sing a kpop song with confidence LOL
I was afraid of the inclusion of Spanish bc this could’ve been totally bad but Leslie voice it’s so beautiful and the whole production of the song is great.
As a latin person whose not pretty much intro in latin music, I was really worried about this featuring. I was wondering if this would be like reggaeton or something worse, cause I really don't like that stuff. BUT this is heaven. It's like they were able to capture freshness and sexyness from latin culture with out making it too heavy, vulgar or just a parody.
For me, the line distribution is perfect. If Leslie would had just a few line or just sing the chorus, maybe could turn into something weird, a joke(?) I'm ELF and really love my men's voices, but I think she makes a great balance for this song.
I'm moved and thankfull with them for make this song for their latin ELF right before they come with Super Show. It's feel like they really wanted to do a song to sing with us, and make it good, in a respectfull way and they did it!! Beyond that, Leslie said they treated her as a princess, plus she has been so sweet promoting the song and SJ, so I'm really proud to love good men, and this colaborations it self. Kind and talented mens featuring a sweet voice latin angel, can't ask for more
AwkwardPurpleHead As a Latina there are some genres of Spanish music that I don’t like but some that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE. i like the old Spanish songs, and the salsa especially. I don’t like the Spanish songs where you can barely understand what they are talking about and such. Idk how to categorize this mix of genres but this is the kind I rlllly like. They did a good job with the line distribution. It was perfect in my opinion
AwkwardPurpleHead and she spoke Spanish omg👏🏼 I was really surprised how she was involved in this a perfect amount.
On the comment about Ryeowook, he's still in the army along with Kyuhyun. He should be coming back sometime this year though. The only other members missing are Sungmin and Kangin.
Angel Joy 2020=SuJu11 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙
Kibum and Hangeng too ;-; OT13 :3
Angel Joy yeah exactly where are they?
SClass 26 SClass 26 Sungmin and Kangin? To keep things short, they both had scandals hence why they haven't been participating in recent activities. However, Sungmin did release a SM Station song last month.
Angel Joy thank you so much
Indeed, it is a REAL COLLABORATION. As an Argentinian, I didn't feel anything else but pride when I listened her sing in our language. I actually felt respected and HONORED when I discovered Donghae singing in spanish too! I honestly loved this song. Your reaction made us wait a lot! But it was worth it cause you confirmed my thoughts!😌😌
They dropped this on perfect timing for their South American and Central American tour. This collab was a breathe of fresh air and executed very well. The producers are playNSkillz who are well known producers in the Latin scene.
Monica Adorno whaaaaaat central americaaaa?? I HOPE THEY COME TO MY COUNTRY😢
They are having their super show in Mexico
Buenos Aires, Lima, Santiago South America and Mexico city is North/central
When they (SuJu) performed "Lo Siento" with Leslie and PlayNSkillz on their SS7 in México, it was L I T watching it on Live, an Awesome experience!!! 😍😍💖💙
They actually perform with Kard's Jiwoo & Somin for music shows!!
Super Junior fans love Leslie and her presence in this mv! I am Mexican and this song and mv were amazing. No cultural appropriation at all, this feels like a wink, like a love letter to Latin American ELFs. It felt authentic and well done and genuine yes. I loved it!
Being Latina, this song was amazing and I loved it! The version with Kard was also great. It's been on repeat for the last week.
As an south american, i really enjoyed this song!!was the perfect colaboration between asians and latins artists..never saw this before, and i love it!!! The base was made for PlaySkillz, and one of them is argentinian, like me. Personally, i don't like latin music, like reggaetón, but this song is just gold. Makes me love even more being Super Junior's fan. This comeback was made to South America, and i really appreciate that, never saw nothing like this in Kpop. Sorry for my english.Love you!! XOXO
karura unicorn your English is perfect, please don't apologise for it. 💕
Argentina papá ~
Chrizzy Soapbubble Hi!! Do you speak spanish? Sometimes is a little hard write in english for me lol
Chrizzy Soapbubble It's ok ^^ my name is Carla..and yours? Where are u from? Sorry..i'm so curious
Chrizzy Soapbubble Wow..is unexpected hahaha..you're good in english..and know spanish..so interesting!!!
www.soompi.com/2018/03/30/kim-heechul-sit-music-shows-super-juniors-comeback-due-health-concerns/
It's because of the car crash a few years ago and the injury he got from that. He already did the barely minimum the last comeback. In one of his varieties, talk bar or something like that he also spoke about how he still has a lot of pain in his ankle because of the injury and that sometimes after preparations for the comeback or performance he has a lot of pain, that he starts crying because of the pain and has to take medication. And the doctor said that it will just get worse if he is going to strain his ankle/foot that much. Therefore while the black suit comeback and this time he said he will sit the music shows out or do the bare minimum and support super junior via his several variety shows.
Stryke1399 yup
Stryke1399 qq
excuse me for saying this but I constantly see people saying it's been a few years but it's been 12 years, a few years implies it was 2 or so years ago. The accident happened in 2006 so it's not "a few years ago"
Beth Dunbar nitpicking :P but you are right ^^
*"Siwon always looks like a god"* same thoughts.
Rina Gracia SJ - ELF me
as latinamerican I didn't feel like it was cultural appropriation mainly because she's latinamerican and I felt like it was very respectful. Latin America has a political connotation, meaning that there's opression that's being fought under that name and people just can't use it without knowing what latinamerican people is fighting for. actually I LOOOVE latinamerican inspired songs and I think that there're artists that are doing it so well (example, look at kard success (completly deserved btw, it would be amazing if there was some other groups like them)), but I really loved that kpop took latinamerican influence but also a latinamerican artist to perform it. GO GIRL
Super Junior's always coming back with something new (that you wouldn't imagine Kpop would make that kind of music) and that's what makes them different in a good way. Their music ability's in another level (not to mention that other idols wouldn't do the same, but c'mon you gotta be honest to yourself and don't be biased).. it's just a matter of time until Knetz realized what they've been missing all these times. SJ deserves alot of respects from not only Kpop fans but also from worldwide. Just sayin'
Thanks for reacting btw 😆
This was definitely NOT cultural appropriation. This was cultural appreciation! KPop has caught fire in Latin America, and I think KPop artists’ exposure to Latin Music has naturally lead to this collab, which was a total success. This is SUJU’s best comeback in years. There are no less than three different languages being sung in this track, which is so cool! It highlights how global KPop has become. I love everything about this comeback.
“There's two of them? Am I high?!”
I swear I love you! 🙈
As an ELF I love that Leslie has a lot of lines! That is what good collabs are about. She has an amazing voice and is a wonderful vocalist. And the spanish-korean-english fusion is just awesome !
SJ has many songs anyways, one collab isnt going to hurt anyone 🤷♀️
most of the ELFs weren't mad about leslie grace taking a lot of lines it was very interesting and as a hispanic this is so beautiful. 3 languages in one video, so amazing
From the fans I interact with ELF love the song and really like Leslie. It helps that she’s really sweet, loves the song and really enjoyed working with the members.
No one thinks this is apropiation at all...
Also what did you think of the mv production? Kind of watched this hoping for a comentary of that!!~
Yeah I was hoping on that too... I watch his videos not for the music or artists itself, but for his commentary on the aspects of MV in the point-of-view of a director/producer himself ;)
Lyf for music Yeah exactly! I watch classical musicians for music review and form of therapy for mv review and that's it.
I think it's more of a love letter to latin music, since they even have a latin singer with them ! :) i really think that all the subject about cultural approbiation is just dumb, and in general, people are so very happy when they see others from another country represent their culture (they usually don't see it as appropriation)
The amount of lines Leslie got seems more than fair to me. I never thought she got too much. Witch makes this MV and song more great. Other songs with featuring artists sing only a bit and all they really get are shots and images of themselves but she sang a lot and even danced with them in their coreo. It was really nice to see her like as if she was a member
Its most win best collabration this year its first korean - spanish collabration in kpop industry SJ made this song bcz their populitary in latin countrys is no joke they are the best
I loved the song! Being dominican like Leslie Grace, I did not feel like any of this was cultural appropriation. It was a well done collaboration, and she got more lines than I imagined, so it felt more latin overall. It was truly an unique thing in kpop, and the stages with KARD are so so great!!!!
We feel really happy about it 😍😍😍 because of Leslie, the song became really good. And this is again a new concept SUJU has tried and this is really goooood~ 💙🖐
Actually we love her already we're shipping her with our Leeteuk and we are happy about this collab it's such a bop. Heechul will not be promoting so that's why he didn't join the dancing its sad but its better than not seeing Heechul
As a mexican fan I really loved how our cultures meshed in the video's visuals and the sound, it's nowhere near cultural appropriation. I loved the song and the fact that it was a female feature made it so much better and a definite stand out in the kpop scene.
The fact that she had a lot more lines means that they really appriciated this amazing Latina singer to perform with them💗💗💗✌
what I think as an ELF about Leslie having tons of lines?? I fcking love it, this is my first time hearing from her, but her presence makes the song so much better. Best colaborationg ever.
Heechul can't use his left leg properly since his 2006 car accident that left him with 5 metal rods, but I believe his ankle has gotten worse recently. Performance and MVs are purposely done so he's only doing choreo that he able to. It's just more noticeable now due to so many members being in the military. I personally love Lo Siento!
Huge ELF here and I literally love that Leslie has so many lines... plus her friendship with my guys is great
Ryeowook and Kyuhyun are in the military right now (but Ryeowook's back in July!)
And I can't speak for all suju fans, but I love the idea of giving her so many lines!! The members can sing to their heart's content in the other songs :)
At first few listens I did not really like this distribution of lines (since I was a SJ fan)... but after a week or so when I listen to this song again in PD's video I felt that there is a reason for the composer to arrange many lines for Leslie... And yeah SJ does not need so much promotion anymore. They've already been recognized XD
ive been waiting for your reaction... your comments are always on point... SUJU's comeback stage features KARD's Somin and Jiwoo... Ryeowook is in the military... Heechul was injured way back so he opted to participate less in the MV and not during stage comebacks...
as if their legend status ain’t enough, suju once again continues to be a pioneer of something fresh to the industry-the fusion of latin and korean pop. now, we get to enjoy songs with similar genre such as mamamoo’s egotistic and kard’s dimelo (which were done incredibly good as well)
There was not cultural appropiation for me!! I am really happy that they did this collaboration☺
Both parties are really awesome and they created something new and cool 💣
heechul got a permenent injury back in 2007 i think, he got into a car accident on his way to donghae's father's funeral. due to the accident, he needed to bite his own tongue to stay conscious while waiting for rescue. as an effect of the accident, he got a metal rod on his thigh. so ever since 2009 w/c was the hit of 'sorry sorry' he wasnt able to join the group's choreo. but as an elf, hearing his voice in every song, seeing him on shows, him partly participating in the mv is more than enough. all we needed was the members healthy together
I'm a Latin American born in Ecuador, and this was not cultural appropriation.
The way they approached the concept was truly respectful, they weren't just saying appropriation bunch of meaningless words in Spanish. Maybe it followed the stereotype that all Latin American are obsessed with sex, but it wasn't really a big issue. Or maybe their clothes choice, but I felt it was inspired in the traditional style that is usually related to Cuba.
I really liked how Leslie was portrayed as a real Latina, without whitewashing, or without trying to make her look more fit to Korean preferences of beauty.
Regarding Heechul, other people have perfectly explained in the comments the reason for his absence. I would like to avoid that the members suggested him to do as in Sorry Sorry and Black Suit promotions (he stays out for most of the song, comes in, sings his part at the near end, and stays for the closing), but he didn't feel it fair. He didn't want to give a half performance, and his leg isn't in the best condition either, so he decided to stay out of promotions.
Even if Heechul can't join the choreo, I would love to see him on a live stage! He could sit in the middle playing the guitar while doing some back vocals or something TT
As a Dominican, as a Latina, I didn't feel this as cultural appropriation at all. This seems like two cultures coming together to make an amazing song. I really love everything about this, and I'm not even a big Suju stan
this is a good featuring, collaboration. I also like that Super Junior let her sing that much because it's indeed a collaboration and like u said, a genuine collaboration.
Super Junior knows how to make songs right~ They must have had that idea of genuinely wanting to collaborate with her so that this sounds perfect the way it is right now :) It's amazing what they did here, and Super Junior did it perfectly. I agree, that Super Junior really wanted Leslie to shine, and I'm sure they thought of this before recording this. She got a lot of lines, compared to all the other members, but I feel they did do this on purpose. Super Junior is definitely at that point where they are able to do whatever concept they want and still pull it off tremendously well, and for them to give Leslie almost 90% of this song shows how much they wanted this to be a genuine collaboration for the Latin culture.
Thank you for remember my Ryeowook babe ahhh but your reaction in general was fantastic, your comments on point!
PD's difficulties with pronouncing Ryeowook's name reflects how many international fans feel. I've followed Suju for about 2 years now, and Ryeowook is my bias, but I still can't pronounce his name.
I'm Hispanic and this song had me shocked!! When I heard those guitar strings omg 🤤 I got chills!! Tbis song was very well done and it has a really heavy Latin vibe. The building in the back has me wondering if they filmed this in the Dominican, but I see the Latin vibe. It reminds me of the Mexican buildings structures and bright colors. I did notice how you mention that sexy image but even in Latin videos that's seen a lot. This song is just amazing and felt really genuine I loved the fact that Leslie Grace was in the whole song, and didn't feel forced. I mean she even performed the choreo!! Lol
reggaeton artists collaborate all the time and i just realized the distributions in those collabs are similar with lo siento! the way they managed all the members parts was really nice (except maybe shindong oops) and like you said leslie wasnt just there for 15 seconds then disappeared. its pretty 50/50, and its something nice to see in kpop. and im mexican, but i dont think there was culture appropiation at all, it was a nice mix of both cultures in a very respectful way :)
Collabs are the best! It helps diversify the artist musically. I'm Hispanic also and I don't think this is cultural appropriation at all. If anything, it's pretty cool to see our culture represented.
Thanks for your reaction! As me, I'm the type of person who needs to listen the song a couple of times to see if I like or not. At first I kinda like it but now, I'm obsessed with it!! Super Junior did something so different and I really appreciate it, this gotta be one of my favorite comeback so far!!
I saw an interview with them, and they seem like friends! It was great! This was an actual collaboration!
I'm latin but I don't feel like it was cultural appropiation. What feels nice to me is to be able to understand her verses!! hahahaha. She is really sweet and charismatic for what I saw in their interview, they seem to be enjoying and learning from each other and that makes you feel like a genuine interest in exchanguing cultures, korean and latin culture.
Maybe the sets might be a little "latin cliche" but what it caught my attention was the snow, that was actually mentioned in the interview. I live in Chile and we don't have a lot of snow here, except for the cities that are in extreme south. So it was a nice detail to add, like a real mixing of both places, South Smerica and Korea.
wow thank you for appreciatin'because that's all we needed. i mean SJ worked so hard on this and appreciation means more than a lot than awards or wins honestly. so thank you. and to answer your questions, heechul wasn't on the choreo because he's sick. ryeowook and kyuhyun was on the army so they're not in this year's album. and i honestly dont have any complaints about leslie's parts or like leslie 'eating' the line distribution because she really is the star of this song. as you said, featuring other artists in a song or mv should do justice for them and yeah SJ did just that to leslie. I really like her voice actually it was unique. and there's also a version of lo siento in the album where KARD's Somin and Jiwoo was featured for the korean version, they did leslie's part. that version was the one they performed on music shows last week. so yeah, this is really such a long comment, sorry 😂
I feel amazing with Grace having a lot of line because I could sang along in the concert😭💕🔥
By far my favourite react to "Lo Siento" I really loved how you did this, I honestly got chills by some of the comments. Keep on the great work and thanks for the video
being from mexico, the latin vibes are so evident and beautifully dispersed with that bright, beautiful flare that k-pop brings. this is the perfect song to listen to while walking down a worn out boardwalk, aged with the years of many generations of people walking among it, as the sun lightly kisses upon your body, being held back ocassionally by the light, refreshing breeze from the salty ocean around you. this song is so amazing and is a definitive, respective and beautiful nod to latin / spanish music. suju did such a great job ! (( please excuse any spelling or grammar mistakes, as english is not my first language ))
As a Mexican American I absolutely LOVED this song. For me, this is in no way cultural appropriation.
i searched for leslie grace even before sm release the mv.. i listened to her musics too and it was good.. i love leslie😍 just like she's a new member of sj😁😁
I think you should also react to their live version where they perform with KARD..where Somin and Jiwoo sing Leslie's parts!!
Heechul has chronic ankle pain from a car crash years ago that doesn't let him dance for a long amount of time. This happened last time with Blacksuit as well. He mainly now just does a small part in the song and often will be in the ending part so that he can be included in the live stages and song in general.
I feel like Heechul plays a storyteller role in the music video, as his rap part isn't in the live performances on music shows. He's the person who sees this girl, who in the music video romances all of the members, everytime. He knows the things that the others don't, he shows us her secrets.
We ELF actually loving it hahaha KLatinPop on the rise! 💙
You should also check out their performances in the music shows, they're collabing with Somin and Jiwoo from Kard, which is a match made in heaven, since Kard has a strong latin fanbase :)
ELFs love Leslie Grace! And we really appreciate the collaboration - an amazing song featuring amazing vocals, what more could we ask for?
Personally haven't seen any complaints whatsoever about Leslie getting more lines than most SJ members here, but I'd chalk that down to the fact that this song was teased as a collaboration in the beginning rather than a feature (even though it says "ft. Leslie Grace"). I also haven't seen anyone call this MV or the song culturally appropriative either, especially not from the Latinx and Hispanic K-pop community. I've heard and read nothing but positive, excited comments. If anything, the MV of "Lo Siento" and the song itself is probably one of the most tasteful and respectful combinations of two cultures and musical + aesthetic influences I've seen in K-pop thus far.
Even as someone who isn't Latin/Hispanic, I really appreciate and love the crosscultural-ness of this whole collaboration, and I also think that it's a big step towards K-pop fusing and intermingling with other countries and cultures' music!
And I think you're right - this was a really ambitious move from Super Junior and SM, but as expected, Super Junior never disappoints and they definitely delivered successfully. It was truly a genuine collaboration, as you said.
Shout out for SUJU! Thx for ur reaction!
I really enjoy your reactions.. I'm latin american and I can say this song is a perfect match of kpop and music of my culture.. SJ has a big internacional fandom so I think was really cool they play with this kind of style
You have to know, Super Junior's fans (we're called ELF), was a chill fandom. We're too "old" to complain about the lines of the songs. We're just enjoying it, we don't care who gets most or less line, as long as the song comes out good.
And we're always being supportive towards whoever featuring with our idol.
That's how much we love them.
And yes, this song has 3 languages in it. Awesome, isn't it?
I was so impressed by this song, I think it really shows how Kpop is expanding and evolving as a genre. It was so beautifully executed and something tells me that this song is just the start of other cultures being integrated into Kpop
I think that this is an entirely new skin for Super Junior, exactly what they needed and what I needed to love their comeback. Because, I feel like the previous comebacks were kinda lame, but Lo Siento, even with KARD, is simply perfect. It just fits.
The melody, both versions, the voices... It's beautiful. This is the Super Junior I was missing as well as a new SJ.
I’m a Mexican viewer of your channel and i found very interesting the way you just sit and analyze everything in the MV’s , your content is amazing . And answering your question I think it’s appropriate , I really have to say that I enjoyed this song so much! I’ve been into kpop so many years and this is just a gem !! I think we need more collabs like this , I’ve this song stucked into my head for several days lmao Thanks for making videos like this I love it ! And also you introduced me into SVT, years ago and it’s the best decision of my life JAJA 💕✨
I'm actually Dominican and I loved this so much!
LOVE THE SONG WITH LESIE GRACE!!!!
You should also check out the live stage version because Jiwoo and Somin of KARD are taking over Lesie Grace's parts
Heechul is taking a health rest (first time for 13 years and he had health problems for 13 years now) so he recorded the song but doesn't participate in the promos
I am Spanish American and I like this better than other things like Mamacita which was so wrong, this one was fine, I was ready to cringe but I was fine with it... Leslie Grace is well known in Latin America and in the US so it is great that they collaborated with her, I know she is going to be on the Latin billboard awards and Latin Grammys so I hope she invite them to come to sing with her this song...
THANK YOU FOR REACTING ;;; I am so so so happy that you liked the song, and yes, I think that was a genuine collaboration too. I haven't seen something like this before, this is a whole new level. I love how you check the details, like the fact that there were two Leslies xdd About HeeChul, yeah, health issues. But even with that, he wanted to make this with the others and that's super cool. They even said the snow in some scenes of the video was a gift for us, because they had heard there was no snow in a big part of Latin America. I have not seen snow in my entire life, and this felt so touching to me... Thanks again for the reaction♡♡♡♡ Take care and greetings from Perú :3
I'm gonna say it: this is definitely the best SM release all year.
We, ELF love Leslie Grace and ofc okay with her line, and proud of suju members. Heechul hurt and even don't take part for upcoming comeback. And thanks for your reaction 💙
I have been waiting for this for soooo long ommggg finally!!
What i really like about it is that it is a genuine collaboration. I know Leslie grace has more lines that the other members but I would prefer that than have called it a collab and just have her sing part of the chorus.
The way SJ handled this song was really good and i think both latin and kpop genre were utilized well and respected.
thank you for your reaction ...you are only one do reaction and said about music and care about it other do it for views from fandom but you talk about music and quality and mv so it is really great as ELF thank you .... heechul has injury from past car accident and his legs is being worst every year we are very thankful for that he hold on very good ^^
I actually love this song so much even if I’m not a fan of super junior and I loved heechuls lil cameo sksksw
Been waiting for your reactions for this!! 😍😍 really love your reactions..
Tri-lingual is in this song.. Korean spanish n english.. Cool huh 😊. Ryeowook will finish his enlistment by mid this year. Kyuhyun, next year. 😊😊
How ELF feels? Great and proud 😍😍
I loved how Korean and Spanish blended together in this song. And I agree with you utilized Leslie Grace efficiently made it a real feature. A great reaction and breakdown of the song🤗
he was in a car accident back in 2006. so that's why he after that didn't have much screentime or lines, and also why he always comes in in the last verses fx in black suit, because he can't dance well. He even considered to not be a part of the comeback, because a lot of the choreographies had to be changed for him to be in, but SUJU (super junior) wanted him to be a part of it, and us fans wants that too. Heechul is serious a living angel
Dominican power! 🇩🇴 as Dominican and Kpop fan, I really appreciate this collaboration ❤️
The percutions in this song is more similar to Caribbean music, Latin America its a large proportion of a really big continent 😅
super junior kings of innovation
Ryewook and Kyuhyun are in the army. SUJU FOREVER THE KINGS OF KPOP.
just coming back now
"there's a lotta people in the army"
M8 WHAT
hahahahaha what a comment
“i think she officially has more lines than shindong” DESERVED !
