So Ten is just straight up amazing. The dance practice for this will blow your mind. Please react to it. The MV is amazing but seeing the whole choreography made me appreciate Ten and his talent even more.
Fun fact: Ten was a dance mentor and judge on the Chinese dance competition show Great Dance Crew for several months in China last year, which is where "Birthday" and a short version of this dance was first performed a little more than 6 months before this MV was released. This dance also was, at least in part, choreographed by him. Ten is often the one that creates or modifies the most memorable and dynamic parts of NCT/WayV's dances that he is a part of. Therefore, it wouldn't surprise me if it was Ten who came up with or modified that tightrope jump move to create what you see in the MV. Most choreographers say they present Ten with choreography and then he changes it and makes it even better. He is a very skilled choreographer as well, which he has shown off in several self-choreographed performances on NCT's TH-cam channels and as a member of SuperM, etc. (SuperM is literally a group of the best dancers, singers, rappers and performers from SM's most popular boy groups. Which I think explains a little of Ten's skill level.) If you check out his 'Birthday' dance practice video and the behind the scenes dance practice video, his behind the scenes of his MV shoot and the behind the scenes of recording the song, you can see just how involved he was with this whole project. Ten actually competed in B-boy competitions when he was younger, so, in his dance practice videos you will see how he incorporated a lot of B-boy moves in this choreography. You can hear him talk about it in his behind the scenes videos and in interviews he has done for this project. And he also has a background in gymnastics. Ten is actually known for being one of the most flexible male idols in the Kpop industry, and there are even compilation videos showing Ten flexing his flexibility and fellow NCT/WayV member WinWin and Ten competing to see who is more flexible, etc. (WinWin has trained in traditional Chinese dance since he was young and is super flexible as well.) I also recommend checking out an interview he did with BoA, who is a senior solo artist also under SM that is known for her dancing, th-cam.com/video/L8D55m-FTSw/w-d-xo.html. This will give you insight into just how respected and talented he really is. All of Ten's solo songs -- "Dream in a Dream," "New Heroes," "Paint Me Naked" and "Birthday" -- are in English because Ten is fluent in English. He grew up attending an international school in Thailand run by British educators, so he spoke English in school. He is native Thai, however, he is fluent in at least 4 languages -- Thai, English, Korean and Mandarin, and he is currently learning Japanese. Because Ten is a member of WayV -- the Chinese sub-unit of NCT that produces songs in Mandarin and promotes in China -- this is one of the reasons why his songs are in English. Due to all the political issues between China and Korea, by producing songs in English, among other things, this helps him avoid any conflict with the Chinese government or being seen as a Korean idol, when WayV promotes in China. Right now, Korean companies are not allowed to do business in China and any mainland Chinese citizens are restricted from doing business with or working in Korea, which is why WayV has to maintain a separate presence even though they are part of NCT. Plus, English is one of the languages Ten is most comfortable in and it helps him connect with a wider international audience, etc. Ten first debuted as an original member of NCT-U in 2016 with their "The 7th Sense" MV, as a main dancer and a rapper, but by virtue of the fact that he is an SM Entertainment artist, it shouldn't be a surprise that he is also an outstanding vocalist. LOL. As you are starting to discover, that's just what SM artists are known for. That's why SM is the vocal powerhouse of the industry because everyone under SM has superior singing abilities. Ten is the NCT member with the most solo projects because he is one of SM's and the industry's top dancers and he is an amazing singer and performer, so SM likes to showcase all his impressive skills. Ten is one of the most talented and skilled artists in Kpop. And yet, not enough people pay attention to him. SM Station songs are special songs that are released by SM artists or collaboration songs that are done outside of the members group, etc. Solo performances that aren't associated with a member's group or are just special songs are often Station songs. Hence, why all of Ten's solo releases are Station songs, and not really part of NCT, even though I think some of the MVs still are connected to SM's SM Culture Universe storyline. :D NCT Lab is a special project that was started at the beginning of last year that allows NCT members to release special songs that highlight their individual skills and the members get a chance to put their own ideas and style into the project.
You need to watch him on the dance show where he turns upside down and walks on all 4 in acting like he is possessed -- it is chilling and amazing // dance practice is a must on this Birthday song and the dance practice on 90's Love showcases his hip hop skills. Thanks
@@ChainReactionsChannel yes, you will get this a lot from Ten fans - that his dance practice and performance videos are must-see. He really shines a lot in them. Btw he also did short dance covers to Taki-taki, Coco Chanel, Humble and Lovely. Those are must-see whether you make a reaction or not (a reaction would be preferred of course😅). Those are like some of the strong evidence for stans who are convinced Ten is the best dancer in Kpop. Those are also some of the reasons why fans were so mad at SM for hiding Ten in their basement for a long time while other NCT members debuted in their respective units. Although he was in their first video The 7th Sense, he was unitless for yeeeaarrss, fans were worried he would eventually rot.
Ten is one of my top 5 Kpop dancers of all time....there are fantastic dancers in kpop, but he will PERFORM like he's dancing just for you...sexy, great eye contact, and his movements are tantalizing.... When this mv dropped, females were ready to drop trou......no sleaze intended...he knows what he's doing...the production and choreography for this highly suggestive and purposeful song was actually to 'perfection'. BUT SERIOUSLY...you NEED to check out the dance practice for "Birthday"...it's smoother than you can imagine...the man is a dancer alright.... Ten is one of my all time biases in Kpop, the man is beautiful....his eyes are mesmerizing. At the moment, out of all Nct members, Ten's beauty has been singled out and exposed to the fashion world over the last year....he's become a spokesman for Yves Saint Laurent, and has been among fashion moguls, top models and celebrities in the streets of Europe at fashion shows. Paparazzi click away as celebrities in high fashion make their way to the venue entrances....sometimes behind the ropes there may be a few kpop fans waiting to see Ten....he may be new to the fashion world but boy, does he look stunning in the YSL outfits he wears to these events. That red carpet walk from car to venue entrance, where celebrities are giving a few poses for cameras, then continue to the entrance...well when Ten arrives, not many people know who he is, but he gets great coverage from the Paparazzi..... Ten, along with a few other kpop idols, get invited all year-long to these shows...just another side project for them Just as Kai and Sehun from EXO showcase fashion for Gucci and Dior...they travel the world to attend shows...and are very popular because of their looks....💙🌺
Please react to his dance practice for this one, there's some hidden amazing things that were cut out of the MV! (Also Ten was participating in Hit the Stage and his performances were unreal please watch them sometime)
Lol the pausing is very valid, I paused like every five seconds on my first watch. Nothing is funnier to me than watching reactions to the lyrics of this song. The choreo is PHENOMENAL, dance practice next maybe? Ten is such a great vocalist but some people overlook it bcos of his dance skills :< I love your analysis and appreciation of his dancing style. Thanks for the reaction!
Loved your reaction!! Yes as comments say you need to check the dance practice as that really will make you say - best dance practice in kpop. You canncheck his ither solo station- dream in dream, paint me naked, new heros. If dance choreography- ten devil dance, ten coco channel dance, ten x winwin lovely.
He also has other solos and collabs that I hope you get to check out in the future. Paint Me Naked Low Low New Heroes Dream in a Dream He's also supposed to have a proper solo debut soon (don't know the exact date). Everything up to this point is considered side projects, collabs, Unit work, etc., so no official a solo debut yet.
@@ChainReactionsChannel TMI, he entered SM summer 2013. He said they initially gave him dancing, singing, rapping lessons but at some point he got nervous and ruined his rap n singing evaluation that the next day they told him only dance lesson was available for him 😭 He debuted in 2016 with NCT U (The 7th Sense) only dancing and a bit of rapping. And then early 2017 he got a knee surgery and took singing lesson more seriously in order to still be able to debut in his fixed group just in case his dancing skill degraded due to his injury 🥲 (look up Ten on Woody Talk interview where he told this story). But here we are now 💛
Don't worry, you have us pro-pause crowd too! Excellent tenanalysis, fluidity, control, water, wind (lol a lot of water n air on his astrology chart), vocal, replayability, all 💯 The dance practice is also amazing, he blends really well with the dancing ladies while shining on his own too ofc. Thx for the many pauses, comments and fun captions!
I know I messed up not doing the dance practice but I guess I have to make another video 🤷🏻♂️ lol. Thank you for watching he really is great. More Tenanalysis to come!
@@ChainReactionsChannel 🤣 please feel free, no pressure, Sir. We tend to shove Ten down everybody's throats but plz stay honest n genuine, again no pressure, thank you 💛
@@helio0227 the shoving down people's throat is funny. Honestly, i've been following kpop since 2nd gen and also some Western and other local artists but i barely lifted a finger to actually support them by being involved in commenting in videos related to their work. But then Ten happened and I saw the ridiculously unreasonable gap between his caliber and his fame/recognition. And for some reason it feels like people and the industry owe him a lot, being such a great artist that he is yet being way less famous than idols who aren't even at his level. For some reason it really feels like i owe this guy and now i have to a least spread the word about his greatness😅
@@arien_000 Same! I also used to follow a 2nd gen idol and then took a long break from kpop until Ten happened. I understand He's severely under the radar because of many reasons. Mishaps and neglects. He's not a new idol anymore, any momentum he made in the past rarely got proper follow ups. It's bitter sweet to hear a person this amazing saying he just wanna continue doing this job as long as he can, no ultimate goals. Some years ago he said he wanna do this and that, dreaming of many things. Anw, I admire his perseverance, dedication.. despite everything he still has that fire to keep creating beautiful experience for us 💛
Since you mentioned air and water, as someone who loves anime a lot, Ten's dancing makes me imagine about so many things but mainly I think he's like the AVATAR of dance. He has the strength and stability of earth🪨. The lightness, speed and freedom of air🌪️🌬️. The beauty, grace and fluidity of water🌊. And the intensity and brilliance of fire🔥 He is such a chameleon. There are other versatile dancers, but Ten's versatility is such that he could not only execute the moves of different genres but he could do them with a very high level of refinement and ease and also understand them like a native speaker understands his own mother tongue. He makes the right expressions and creates the right feel of each choreo. Dance really is a higher form of expression and Ten is just so articulate and eloquent. He really has both breadth and depth as an artist.
Oh I love the way you said that second part - poetic! And YES you're so right. Water and air benders would move in ways that resembled the flow and grace of their elements and he absolutely has that quality. Very well said. 💯 Thank you for sharing. ❤️
Please react to the dance practice because there are a lot of hard and cool moves that they didn’t put in the music video and I think you will love it❤❤😊
Ten is an allrounder, he is amazing. He is in my top 3 dancers from SM. First place goes to Taemin just because it's Taemin, second place goes to Ten and on third place we have Kai from Exo and Taeyong from Nct. SM produces quality, vocals, dancers, ... And a lot of allrounders in my opinion.
I told ya so. 😁😁😁 The dance practice is even better and will have you dying twice as much. So glad you finally did this. Made our day. (Lucas is out of the wheelchair now and back to running around and dancing to baggy jeans lol)
Haha! Ten is actually Thai and I think their culture is less conservative than South Korea. Or maybe it’s just Ten. He’s less conservative than South Korea for sure. 😂 A man of many talents. The tattoos are real and he designed them. He could easily be an artist of the drawing and painting kind but obviously he was born for music. The man also probably speaks the most languages in all of NCT. His native tongue is Thai. He attended school in English growing up. He became fluent in Korean when he moved there to pursue music. And then SM cast him in their Chinese subunit (his mom is of Chinese descent I believe) and WayV has members with Mandarin as their native tongue and some with Cantonese. So he’s at least conversational in Mandarin too. They’ve also recorded in Japanese. He’s just a genius. No other word for it. I recommend NCT U Baby don’t Stop. A dancing duet between Ten and Taeyong. One of NCT’s best songs.
Hi! I plan to check that out once I'm less busy with work, hopefully in January! I have heard very good things about the dance practice, I'm looking forward to it! Thank you for watching. ❤️
Ohhhh, my sweet summer child... you have no idea. 😄 As much as I like the mv, I *LOVE* the dance practice! I already knew Ten is the best dancer in kpop, but I was truly floored by his performance in the "practice" for Birthday. (It's shot more like a performance video, so don't let the title fool you.) Ten's versatility in style, his ability to exude both masculine and feminine energy, his expression, technique, power, extension, lines and especially his gymnast level flexibility, all together, make him the most well-rounded idol dancer I've come across. So trust me when I say... you will absolutely regret not watching the dance practice more than you regretted taking so long to watch the mv... so don't wait! 😂 Not only is his performance incredible, but the ladies friggin KILL IT too... AND the choreography piece *100%* deserves to be seen in its entirety.
You are spot on about his fluidity and control over his body.. He is truly one of the best dancer (and solo singer) in the industry and that really counts for something!! I hope you can react to his other solo songs "Dream in a dream", "New Heroes", "Paint Me Naked" and experience his versatility and how much he is willing to try and do to showcase himself. His actual Solo debut- mini album is coming out likely 13 Feb and I really hope you will support and react to him then too!! Ten is amazing and deserves the love for how hard he works!
Yes, all of his tattoos are real. He is an exceptional dancer and singer! Please check out some of WayV's earlier videos! Love Talk, Bad Alive, Kick Back, Moonwalk....Also Ten was in NCT U, their debut song was "7th Sense". It was awesome!!! You need to watch it too!
Never heard that song before. I knew Ten was good but never paid that much attention to solo work. Thanks for reacting. I’m afraid of the dance practice lol.
Ooooh I think maybe you’d enjoy 90’s Love by NCT U! (Ten is also in it 😁) if you do enjoy it, the dance practice for that is great it’s been like 3 years and it’s still one of my favorite NCT dance practices!! If you want to hear vocals - definitely check out From Home by NCT U (there’s also a ‘rearranged version’ video - it’s pretty nostalgic for long time NCT fans because of the older clips they include BUT the MAMA 2020 from home rearranged version performance is one of my favorite vocal arrangements they’ve done as a group 😭 I feel like I watch this like once a week still because they don’t have it on streaming platforms 😕 so if you want to watch this, I would loveee to see your thoughts) If you’re open to checking out another group, maybe The Stealer or Watch It by THE BOYZ. The stealer is one of their iconic comebacks but watch it is their recent release, and their choreo is always really good so I think you might enjoy seeing them dance 😊 These are all just random suggestions though, I’ll tune in for whatever you put up 🫡
Stations/NCT Lab's are basically just the category for solo or unit projects for the NCT members for songs that they themselves are heavily involved in. It's mostly solos (Ten "Birthday" + "Paint Me Naked", Taeyong "Love Theory" + "Long Flight", Mark "Golden Hour" + "Child", Jaehyun "Forever Only" + "Horizon"), but there are some unit songs too (NCT U "Rain Day" - written and produced by Kun - + "Marine Turtle" - composed by Chenle) Yes Ten's tattoos are all real! He's also an artist and has designed some of if not all of them himself, particularly the one on his chest and the large one on his forearm. Taeyong, Johnny and Yuta from 127 also all have super cool and beautiful tattoos. Ten is an insane dancer and you NEED to see the dance practice for "Birthday"! Ten is up there as one of THE best dancers in the whole industry and in my opinion, he's the best in NCT, along with Taeyong. Ten has so many dance covers and videos that you should check out. Would love if you did all the NCT soloists next though haha Taeyong, Jaehyun, and Mark are the other members with solo songs. Taeyong is the only one whose had an official solo debut which happened this year. The rest are all Stations/NCT labs. I recommend: Taeyong - "Shalala" Jaehyun - "Forever Only" Mark - "Child" Ten - "Paint Me Naked"
I saw this music video and dance practice video a few months ago. It's a good song. But the choreography is amazing . I liked the dance more than the song.🙃 And as always, your reactions are great. 💯
I’m not an anti-pauser but for my own sanity, I might have to be anti slow mo hip thrusts 😂 plus the slowed down “I want to be in so deep” right after was wild. Jokes aside, I appreciate that you pause or go back to rewatch something that interested you! It’s telling that you’re engaged and I like hearing what you’re thinking throughout the song I’m glad you got to see this! Before I got into nct, I’d heard so much about tens dancing. I knew to expect amazing dancing but it was his voice that really drew me in and this song/performance really flexes both
Hahaha I made myself laugh way too much editing this one. But it's his fault for making the song/video I'm just a powerless reactor! Lol thank you for watching!
Thank you for doing this review, it is one of my all time favorite videos. Check out the fixed version. No, he isn’t bringing the cake , he IS the cake!
i think you would enjoy watching wayv xiaojun's Lee Mujin Service episode! hes the main vocal. lee mujin service is a really great show to watch in general, they have episodes for gidle members, exo members, red velvet, and stray kids among others :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVERYONE! XD! I had a feeling this was gonna be a longer reaction lol! Ten is just different in every way possible and I absolutely love everything he does. Whether it's in NCT, SM or solo the man is just art. I really cannot wait to see what you react to next with Ten ( *looks at the list I already sent you but know I can add more to said list* ). Also, I would say sorry but I'm not. I knew exactly what this was gonna do to you XD! ✌
Ten IS very fluid. Ten and Taeyong released a very popular song as NCT U that they often perform on concerts - "Baby Don't Stop". They showcase their respective dance styles there well. The two members are considered the top dancers in NCT (+Mark). As YT will hardly ever recommend the hidden gem, I advice you to watch Taeyong's "Ghost", self-written song and dance. SM lets its artists explore themselves with small projects preparing them for solo career in the future. By the way, Ten should release his solo album soon, probably in few months. Ghost - th-cam.com/video/8G8oRulwm20/w-d-xo.html Baby Don't Stop - th-cam.com/video/k0DqRstCgj4/w-d-xo.html
i love your reaction! next please react to 90s love, Misfit, Universe (Let's Play Ball) by NCT U, and Skyscraper, Parade, Je Ne Sais Quoi by NCT 127! you will love ittt🔥
I would LOVE to see more Taemin - I did react to Guilty and it is one of the best songs I have ever heard, let me know what you think of the reaction: th-cam.com/video/qWcudKavhRA/w-d-xo.html
I'm sad you watched the MV vs the penthouse dance practice version so you could see the entirety of the dance choreo. If you liked this, you should go back and watch that.
The dance practice for Birthday is a MUST!!!
So Ten is just straight up amazing. The dance practice for this will blow your mind. Please react to it. The MV is amazing but seeing the whole choreography made me appreciate Ten and his talent even more.
Haha I knew it was going to be wrong somehow! 😅 I won't complain about seeing more though... Thank you for watching!

And for some reason it feels like people and the industry owe him a lot, being such a great artist that he is yet being way less famous than idols who aren't even at his level. For some reason it really feels like i owe this guy and now i have to a least spread the word about his greatness😅
@@arien_000 Same! I also used to follow a 2nd gen idol and then took a long break from kpop until Ten happened. I understand He's severely under the radar because of many reasons. Mishaps and neglects. He's not a new idol anymore, any momentum he made in the past rarely got proper follow ups. It's bitter sweet to hear a person this amazing saying he just wanna continue doing this job as long as he can, no ultimate goals. Some years ago he said he wanna do this and that, dreaming of many things. Anw, I admire his perseverance, dedication.. despite everything he still has that fire to keep creating beautiful experience for us 💛
Since you mentioned air and water, as someone who loves anime a lot, Ten's dancing makes me imagine about so many things but mainly I think he's like the AVATAR of dance.
He has the strength and stability of earth🪨. The lightness, speed and freedom of air🌪️🌬️. The beauty, grace and fluidity of water🌊. And the intensity and brilliance of fire🔥
He is such a chameleon.
There are other versatile dancers, but Ten's versatility is such that he could not only execute the moves of different genres but he could do them with a very high level of refinement and ease and also understand them like a native speaker understands his own mother tongue. He makes the right expressions and creates the right feel of each choreo. Dance really is a higher form of expression and Ten is just so articulate and eloquent.
He really has both breadth and depth as an artist.
Oh I love the way you said that second part - poetic! And YES you're so right. Water and air benders would move in ways that resembled the flow and grace of their elements and he absolutely has that quality. Very well said. 💯 Thank you for sharing. ❤️
@@ChainReactionsChannel thanks. I'm glad you're familiar with Avatar The Last Airbender to get what I mean😅
If you like Ten's dance style. You can check dance practice videos "New Hero", "Dream in a Dream", "Devil" (hit the stage)
Please react to the dance practice because there are a lot of hard and cool moves that they didn’t put in the music video and I think you will love it❤❤😊
Ten is Art. His solo - Paint Me Naked is one of his best solo songs. Please check it out.
Ten is an allrounder, he is amazing. He is in my top 3 dancers from SM. First place goes to Taemin just because it's Taemin, second place goes to Ten and on third place we have Kai from Exo and Taeyong from Nct. SM produces quality, vocals, dancers, ... And a lot of allrounders in my opinion.
He is next level.
You should definitely react to the dance practice for this you wont regret it
Thanks for reacting to the king of dancing TENLEE
I told ya so. 😁😁😁
The dance practice is even better and will have you dying twice as much. So glad you finally did this. Made our day. (Lucas is out of the wheelchair now and back to running around and dancing to baggy jeans lol)
I love the practice version of birthday the most!!!❤❤❤
Yo!!!! Birthday Dance Practice is a must 😂
Haha! Ten is actually Thai and I think their culture is less conservative than South Korea. Or maybe it’s just Ten. He’s less conservative than South Korea for sure. 😂
A man of many talents. The tattoos are real and he designed them. He could easily be an artist of the drawing and painting kind but obviously he was born for music.
The man also probably speaks the most languages in all of NCT. His native tongue is Thai. He attended school in English growing up. He became fluent in Korean when he moved there to pursue music. And then SM cast him in their Chinese subunit (his mom is of Chinese descent I believe) and WayV has members with Mandarin as their native tongue and some with Cantonese. So he’s at least conversational in Mandarin too. They’ve also recorded in Japanese. He’s just a genius. No other word for it.
I recommend NCT U Baby don’t Stop. A dancing duet between Ten and Taeyong. One of NCT’s best songs.
Tenward Tennington bringing the Tension lol. Great reaction Ten is indeed a 10 outta 10. Seriously he's amazing.
Haha yes he is amazing!
You should react to the dance practice for this song, it’s so good.
Hi! I plan to check that out once I'm less busy with work, hopefully in January! I have heard very good things about the dance practice, I'm looking forward to it! Thank you for watching. ❤️
Ohhhh, my sweet summer child... you have no idea. 😄
As much as I like the mv, I *LOVE* the dance practice! I already knew Ten is the best dancer in kpop, but I was truly floored by his performance in the "practice" for Birthday. (It's shot more like a performance video, so don't let the title fool you.)
Ten's versatility in style, his ability to exude both masculine and feminine energy, his expression, technique, power, extension, lines and especially his gymnast level flexibility, all together, make him the most well-rounded idol dancer I've come across.
So trust me when I say... you will absolutely regret not watching the dance practice more than you regretted taking so long to watch the mv... so don't wait! 😂
Not only is his performance incredible, but the ladies friggin KILL IT too... AND the choreography piece *100%* deserves to be seen in its entirety.
You are spot on about his fluidity and control over his body.. He is truly one of the best dancer (and solo singer) in the industry and that really counts for something!!
I hope you can react to his other solo songs "Dream in a dream", "New Heroes", "Paint Me Naked" and experience his versatility and how much he is willing to try and do to showcase himself.
His actual Solo debut- mini album is coming out likely 13 Feb and I really hope you will support and react to him then too!! Ten is amazing and deserves the love for how hard he works!
the way his dances some time is like a birthday candle moving slowly with the soft breeze, Ten is the best in everything
He’s known for his “popping” to the beat- watch by the mirror.
Yes, all of his tattoos are real. He is an exceptional dancer and singer! Please check out some of WayV's earlier videos! Love Talk, Bad Alive, Kick Back, Moonwalk....Also Ten was in NCT U, their debut song was "7th Sense". It was awesome!!! You need to watch it too!
One of the best dancers in the industry🔥
Oh Paint me naked is worth checking as well :) It's a more laid back song but I love the mv for it
Everything you said Im agree 💯💯💯❤❤❤
Never heard that song before. I knew Ten was good but never paid that much attention to solo work. Thanks for reacting. I’m afraid of the dance practice lol.
YES TEN IS ONE OF THE BEST
Ooooh I think maybe you’d enjoy 90’s Love by NCT U! (Ten is also in it 😁) if you do enjoy it, the dance practice for that is great it’s been like 3 years and it’s still one of my favorite NCT dance practices!!
If you want to hear vocals - definitely check out From Home by NCT U (there’s also a ‘rearranged version’ video - it’s pretty nostalgic for long time NCT fans because of the older clips they include BUT the MAMA 2020 from home rearranged version performance is one of my favorite vocal arrangements they’ve done as a group 😭 I feel like I watch this like once a week still because they don’t have it on streaming platforms 😕 so if you want to watch this, I would loveee to see your thoughts)
If you’re open to checking out another group, maybe The Stealer or Watch It by THE BOYZ. The stealer is one of their iconic comebacks but watch it is their recent release, and their choreo is always really good so I think you might enjoy seeing them dance 😊
These are all just random suggestions though, I’ll tune in for whatever you put up 🫡
Stations/NCT Lab's are basically just the category for solo or unit projects for the NCT members for songs that they themselves are heavily involved in. It's mostly solos (Ten "Birthday" + "Paint Me Naked", Taeyong "Love Theory" + "Long Flight", Mark "Golden Hour" + "Child", Jaehyun "Forever Only" + "Horizon"), but there are some unit songs too (NCT U "Rain Day" - written and produced by Kun - + "Marine Turtle" - composed by Chenle)
Yes Ten's tattoos are all real! He's also an artist and has designed some of if not all of them himself, particularly the one on his chest and the large one on his forearm. Taeyong, Johnny and Yuta from 127 also all have super cool and beautiful tattoos.
Ten is an insane dancer and you NEED to see the dance practice for "Birthday"! Ten is up there as one of THE best dancers in the whole industry and in my opinion, he's the best in NCT, along with Taeyong. Ten has so many dance covers and videos that you should check out.
Would love if you did all the NCT soloists next though haha Taeyong, Jaehyun, and Mark are the other members with solo songs. Taeyong is the only one whose had an official solo debut which happened this year. The rest are all Stations/NCT labs. I recommend:
Taeyong - "Shalala"
Jaehyun - "Forever Only"
Mark - "Child"
Ten - "Paint Me Naked"
Ten is art
I saw this music video and dance practice video a few months ago. It's a good song. But the choreography is amazing . I liked the dance more than the song.🙃 And as always, your reactions are great. 💯
Yeah the song is smooth and definitely worth replaying but this MV is *required* for replay haha. Thank you for your support as always!
💖 ten 😻🤩💓
I’m not an anti-pauser but for my own sanity, I might have to be anti slow mo hip thrusts 😂 plus the slowed down “I want to be in so deep” right after was wild. Jokes aside, I appreciate that you pause or go back to rewatch something that interested you! It’s telling that you’re engaged and I like hearing what you’re thinking throughout the song
I’m glad you got to see this! Before I got into nct, I’d heard so much about tens dancing. I knew to expect amazing dancing but it was his voice that really drew me in and this song/performance really flexes both
Hahaha I made myself laugh way too much editing this one. But it's his fault for making the song/video I'm just a powerless reactor! Lol thank you for watching!
Thank you for doing this review, it is one of my all time favorite videos. Check out the fixed version. No, he isn’t bringing the cake , he IS the cake!
Reaction dance practice plssss
It so amazing
Since it's Ten's birthday, does that mean that he's now Eleven? ; )
💀 😆 I'm mad I didn't think of that!
@@ChainReactionsChannel LOL!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALL!!! 😂😂😂😂
i think you would enjoy watching wayv xiaojun's Lee Mujin Service episode! hes the main vocal. lee mujin service is a really great show to watch in general, they have episodes for gidle members, exo members, red velvet, and stray kids among others :)
Loll awesome reaction. You are a mess for that slow-mo breakdown😂😂😂😂
I think since you know nct, Exo, and Taemin now, you can react to their super group SuperM! I say start with Jopping, tiger inside, one and infinity.
You should really watch the dance practice of this song. There are so many insane points that are missed when watching the MV.
Thanks 🙏🙏 ขอบคุณค่ะ
Good dam
Great! Thank you for watching.
i love all of your reactions! they are the best ❤
As amazing as this video is... the dance practice is even more so.
Finallyyy nct
thank you! tenlee is the best
I really like your reactions 😉👍
Yup...those tats r real...ten johnny yuta n taeyong all hv tattoos...
If you're looking for stumps, The Boys- Watch it🎉
HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVERYONE! XD! I had a feeling this was gonna be a longer reaction lol! Ten is just different in every way possible and I absolutely love everything he does. Whether it's in NCT, SM or solo the man is just art. I really cannot wait to see what you react to next with Ten ( *looks at the list I already sent you but know I can add more to said list* ). Also, I would say sorry but I'm not. I knew exactly what this was gonna do to you XD! ✌
dance practice sooo good pls RIP
Ten IS very fluid. Ten and Taeyong released a very popular song as NCT U that they often perform on concerts - "Baby Don't Stop". They showcase their respective dance styles there well. The two members are considered the top dancers in NCT (+Mark).
As YT will hardly ever recommend the hidden gem, I advice you to watch Taeyong's "Ghost", self-written song and dance. SM lets its artists explore themselves with small projects preparing them for solo career in the future. By the way, Ten should release his solo album soon, probably in few months.
Ghost - th-cam.com/video/8G8oRulwm20/w-d-xo.html
Baby Don't Stop - th-cam.com/video/k0DqRstCgj4/w-d-xo.html
i love your reaction! next please react to 90s love, Misfit, Universe (Let's Play Ball) by NCT U, and Skyscraper, Parade, Je Ne Sais Quoi by NCT 127! you will love ittt🔥
Please react to his dance practice 🙏 🙏 🙏 . I promise it will be worth it.

I'm sad you watched the MV vs the penthouse dance practice version so you could see the entirety of the dance choreo. If you liked this, you should go back and watch that.
