he did write the lyrics but i don ´t think that he wrote/produced the song, at least in the interview that was posted on the SM Channel he just mentioned writing the lyrics.
Well, there's only two of them now in TVXQ. Most boy groups these days are 4 persons minimum, so each TVXQ member is considered 2 persons at the least 🤣
@@rdpa4019 politefully disagree, OMG is rather sparse, especially in the verses and soyeon's rap, it's carried heavily by the visuals, and is a much better MV than a single.
When Max is in the group, he always in charge of high notes. Now he has a chance to show off his full range and diversity in his voice. The whole mini album is really good as well. Hope you check it out. One song feature Chungha
Dylby H ? i think chungha and changmin matched so well on lie, besides it’s a featuring and not a collaboration - naturally chungha will take lesser lines and the focus will be on changmin since it’s his album and he’s a ‘veteran’ of 17 years ~
Dylby H I disagree. The song really benefitted from adding a female voice and Chungha was a great choice for that role; she’s a popular artist and her tone matches super well with what Chang min was going for there.
Actually his first solo in 17 years of Changmin's career 👏 He participated in writing and producing😆 Only one question : Why did it take so long for coming like that and destroy us? THAT PRE-CHORUS RIP MY SOUL🔥😂
He did have a Japanese solo mini album before his enlistment. It was titled Close To You and the title track was Into The Water. It was released for the Japanese fanclub Bigeast.
His girlfriend is soooooo freakin lucky! And knowing Changmin's personality and taste, his girlfriend must be a fiiiiiiine woman. They must be matched by heaven. Oh my poor single soul...
"This is like a whole boy group on its own." That's what I was thinking! You don't usually hear Changmin switching things around this much in TVXQ songs, all the different vocal parts would be dispersed among several songs. I'm so glad he's doing a solo to really show us what he's made of.
That's the exact reaction I had, as well 😂 utterly speechless. You should listen to the whole album... 1. Because it's amazing... 2. Because 'Piano' has more of those sexy vocals... Literally like another man
You don't know how hard I held my breath while watching your reaction. He's my bias for more than 10 years and this is his first ever solo album so I was kinda nervous and wanted to know how non-fans and music experts react to this. And I'm so glad that you really appreciate his voice. It has always been incredibe. I agree that there hasn't been many songs that completely pushed his voice to his range, which is why we were kinda shocked by the beginning. I think this is exactly the side that Changmin wants to show as he always introduces this album represents the "real" him, more on the fierce and sexy side rather than the familar sweet side that we usually saw in his ballads. Of course he had sexy songs before (Heaven's Day) but this is like his official introduction to the public(?). Thank you so so much for saying he put out one of your favorite releases, it means a lot to him and to us fans as well. I hope you can check out more of his works and also TVXQ's works to see more sides of them. Once again, thank you!
i'm Changmin bias too but i also love his hyung Yunho....but i really hope that thru this album of his. He'll get the lots of fans worldwide cause his always underrated.
Going into this solo... I knew who TVXQ was but honestly I was more familiar with their Japanese work because I'm an anime fan (in fact I heard of them because of their One Piece opening). I wasn't really a fan but I could respect them for their work in K-Pop (and J-Pop). I mean there's only two of them and I couldn't have told you their names. This song made me a fan of both Changmin and TVXQ. I'm so obsessed with it. It was everything I didn't know I wanted.
At first i was disappointed in the chorus because of that amazing build up, but I realized it really balanced out the song’s dynamic. Really loved this song!!
You are on point. Max is on whole another level. "God Tier" Yes, I love Max's Chocolate. *stops* ignore that innuendo. *face palms* you get what I mean. I Love the song.
I’m just crying. Omg thank you so much. Finally FINALLY people can see just how talented, how wide his range is. And he can do it live effortlessly. Please listen to all the songs! His choices on the album are so diverse and yet he is skilled in all genre.
my God, PD is whipped, LOL. I'm living for this. That's SHIM CHANGMIN for u, ladies and gentlemen. DBSK was my first group ever, the one got me to Kpop. My old Cass heart is so proud. They are still fire after those years
"He has the voice of a whole boy group." THANK YOU! I couldn't put into words exactly what it was that felt unique to me about his voice. Like sure, he's a great singer. I know several great singers in kpop. Exceptional ones that when I hear them, I know exactly who they are. But like you, I didn't pay a lot of attention to TVXQ. I knew of them, but their music style didn't really vibe with me. I listened to this song, and I was SHOOK. I had to go back through some of their songs to see if what I heard was the same person, and I realized he was there, but now in full center. And he does sound like different people! When he was singing in English, there was a different tone in his voice, then he went to his high notes that are his signature. It was like he did a collaboration, but it was really all him!
I haven’t been a fan of TVXQ’s recent songs but I’m impressed with this song and Changmin’s vocals! This isn’t my style of song but all the elements work so well together that it pulled me in. It’s one of those songs that I didn’t expect to get stuck in my head.
Thank you for noticing his talent!!! He’s so amazing !!!! 🤎I also was thinking that this should be the most viewed video 😂 I loved it so much I shared it on every social media I have !!!
It's gotta be god tier, especially since he's Max Changmin, a god rising from the east LOL But honestly, when he was asked why it took 17 years for him to release a solo (apart from the obvious reason he wanted to focus on group work with Yunho), it wasn't because he wasn't being given opportunities by the company, but because it was a personal choice. He wanted to create solo work at a time in his life when he personally felt that was ready, when he believed that his skills were good enough (ikr like??? to us he has always been beyond capable!!!) and he's comfortable enough to create music he can be proud of, and this was THE YEAR.
When a member of a group debuts as a soloist it is to highlight their skills, however, many end up wasting that opportunity showing half of their potential, but Max... He got really proved that he is a true vocal!!
Actually changmin’s vocals always struck me in tvxq, he’s always been one of fav vocalists, and to see him get a solo finally after so many years makes me so happy
Changmin’s talent never disappoints us. Even though we all know how legendary TVXQ is, tbh his talent is far more underrated. It’s another return of the King!
Changmin and U-Know make me proud of being an 80's liner. They can school any 90's and 00's on how to make good stuff. My cassie heart is really pleased with this
I am obsessed with this song!!! The way that he switches his voice up and that vocal range ma god.. 😍 I’ve always been a causal listener of TVXQ but I will be buying Changmin’s mini album 100%! 🔥
I don't know how much praise he used to get back in the day for his vocals but the past 5 years or so I don't think anyone EVER mentioned the fucking amazing vocals this man has. I hope this song get's some recognition by the newer fans too and people will talk about him and his vocals more.
Omg! This is it! This is Changmin’s song! Perfect for his vocal range. I love his solo debut. You should listen to all his song on Chocolate Mini Album, everything is a bop! ❤️🎈
You spoke so many truths about this. His song is solid. Actually, his whole album is solid! Please do listen to the rest of the songs as well. (Piano is bomb!)
Does anyone else feel like we he goes into that higher range during the pre chorus that he sounds like Brendon Urie? There’s something about that part that reminds me of a p!atd song Anyways this man is a GOD
This is hands down the best release of 2020 so far. I mean I’ve been obsessed since it’s release. And just when you think it can’t get better you watch him live and you’re like wow. Fantastic job Changmin!
thank you on behalf of us cassiopeias! 🙏 changmin really poured his whole heart and soul making this album ❤️ it took a lot of years for this solo album came out and he did not disappoint! his visuals, song writing, and vocals is everything 😍😍 we are so proud of you our changminnie! ❤️
This vocals are... OHMYGOD. At first listen the song was so crazy to me that I wasn't sure if I like it or not... But now, God damn, this is hella attractive!! Listening party would be interesting, I haven't heard the album myself but I know there's Chungha on one of the bsides (I swear Chungha is everywhere)
Please give it a try, you won't regret it, this is the album link on Spotify, because it is quite hard searching his album by his stage name on Spotify 😁 open.spotify.com/artist/7FiAkNWMb6ZBYI8tbQLuIS?si=iLl90N32SeqUIjyMFWbUYw
"this is like a whole damn boy group on its own" - yeap the attractive part 9:28 is by him changmin, and he wrote this songs too...maybe he's a whole agency on it's own "they're (all 5 members) all potential solo artist having all talents ."-by Lee So Man (Founder of SM Entertainment)
this song sounds so TVXQ and so Chang Min to me, it's crazy!!! And his vocal is really on another level on this solo! I feel proud of my old kpop mates!! They are still shining through comebacks even though there is so many competitions on the market nowadays!!! ♥
The bit where you talked about his voice being a whole group. I thought the same. If I had just heard this on Spotify or something without a video attached I probably would have assumed it was a group. I wasn't expecting the swing into the lower range for those couple of lines before the pre-chorus but goddamn you are right it is sexy af. This whole video is sexy af and is now my everything. This man obliterated my bias list and I liked it.
I'm a long-time TVXQ fan and I've been DYING for SM to give Changmin a solo album ever since he started doing solo songs during their concerts (if you haven't seen the video of him singing X-Japan's Rusty Nail live, you are missing out!) and this album was everything I could have ever asked for 11/10 ❤️
I’m so addicted to Changmin Chocolate album. He and his team did an amazing job. All the songs are very different genre but still feeling incredible cohesive! It is definitely an album full of all Changmin difference vocal styles 🥰
Highly recommend the other two songs in that album: Piano and Me, myself & I! His voice is super incredible. This album really shows that he has endless possibilities.
PD! We are so glad you are doing the Kulture Study on Max "Chocolate" MV. We were not into old SM stuff before until we found out TVXQ "Truth" in Dec 2019. They are really the legends in KPOP. Although there're so many talented vocalists in KPOP, Changmin is the best of the best. His vocal range is so wide. His high notes could go unlimited. Changmin wrote the lyrics of this song. The song is written and arranged by Danish musician Thomas Troelsen. He also wrote another track "Piano" in Max Changmin's solo album. This is my favorite song from "Chocolate". We were wondering why "Piano" was not chosen as the title song, but after watching a few interviews and your reaction we understood "Chocolate" really "Maximize" his vocal range and singing skills. He is such one of the most underrated artists in KPOP. Thank you for giving Max Chocolate a 10 out of 10! We are a family who love KPOP and we are real Cassiopeia! We actually saw them in their Circle #with concert in Hong kong in July, 2019. Also followed them to Japan for their XV Live Tour in Fukuoka in Nov 2019. After seeing multiple KPOP groups live, we have to say TVXQ's live is the BEST! Our second generation of Cassiopeia also made a reaction video: th-cam.com/video/fEGG9fskp7w/w-d-xo.html
His album is seriously so good all songs are amazing!! “Piano” is such gem and the sexist song ever.. “Lie” ft Chungha is a bop!! “No Tomorrow” is such an amazing song and Changmin wrote the lyrics of it too. “Me,Myself and I” “High Heels” truly AOTY imo!!

As you can see you didn't find any CHOCOLATE in his MV because he was the CHOCOLATE himself. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Agree with you 💯 😍
TOTALLY Agree
lmao 😂😂😂😂
Exactlyyyyyyyy
Omg 😂
SM the house of powerful vocals and also Changmin wrote the song
he did write the lyrics but i don ´t think that he wrote/produced the song, at least in the interview that was posted on the SM Channel he just mentioned writing the lyrics.
Metalstryke but that’s also all the person said lmao
zipozapii the comment got edited so maybe the person said that he composed the song too
Riv E could be possible
OH CHANGMIN WROTE THE SONG!? Niceeeeee
Shim “a whole damn boy group on his own” Changmin !!!
It’s the perfect saying for Changmin voice 😂😍
This comment!!!
Well, there's only two of them now in TVXQ. Most boy groups these days are 4 persons minimum, so each TVXQ member is considered 2 persons at the least 🤣
lmao so true😂
That's the best "description" for Changmin and TVXQ. They are not 2, they are 12.
This song is the most sonically interesting release of 2020, period. Changmin showing the youngsters how you release a bop!
MrBody Massage Machine don’t think so, but it’s pretty interesting
@@rdpa4019 pray tell what is then?
Totally agree

I'm so glad this reaction exists, rewatching right now for a quick hit of dopamine 🤣
The intro was like the best thing ever my favorite part of the song
IIIIIIIII AIN'T SCARED OF ELECTRICITYYYY

Pre Chorus is *my favorite*
skinny legend but the PRECHORUS
When Max is in the group, he always in charge of high notes. Now he has a chance to show off his full range and diversity in his voice. The whole mini album is really good as well. Hope you check it out. One song feature Chungha
“Also can we talk about this hair ... sigh...”
*...sip*
РУССКИЙ!??!
Makes him look extra mature... Sexier perhaps
Changmin and U-Know are too powerful by themselves and together!
Tell me about it!!!

This comeback wrecked me 😭 he's so stunning in every sense of the word
its solo debut

Literally they are not called the Gods of Kpop for nothing
PD: *goes to take a sip*
MV starts
PD: *puts cup back down* and 😳
Right!! 😂 Don’t need coffee to satisfy that thirst😍
I was the same! Whatever I was expecting the song to be flew so fast out my mind, the shock left me brain dead.
ChungHa is featured in one of his song in the album and 'Piano' is just mMMM
Yes she's featured in Lie
my absolute fav song currently, i was so excited that chungha was going to be on the album 🥺
Chungha was wasted on that song
Dylby H ? i think chungha and changmin matched so well on lie, besides it’s a featuring and not a collaboration - naturally chungha will take lesser lines and the focus will be on changmin since it’s his album and he’s a ‘veteran’ of 17 years ~

@@snowleopard987 Nope, this is the first solo mini album.

yea you're absolutely goddamn right 😌👌

YASSSSSSS!!!!
Every Korean knows Mirotic
You really should watch MAX The Stage cause Shindong went crazy with that. It looked so good i was like Holy sh*t who need other stages anymore?
I was so hyped for Changmin's solo, and ofc he didn't disappoint. An actual masterpiece!
Mb EXO Right!! It’s why I can’t fathom why he has more dislikes then likes on his M/V. I guess haters will be haters 🤷🏻♀️

This is my favorite comeback of the month *NO ONE CAN STOP ME*
You are on point! The concept for Chocolate is Lupin (thief)/spy. That's why his live performances on Max The Stage have 2 versions - Lupin & Spy.
this video conclusion: pd being mind blown
I was kinda expecting this reaction and i gotta say.. not disappointed. Changmin broke PD😂 PD. jpeg😂😂
Exactly, he was in that one position for over a min!
Yes, I addiced this song like crazy.He still the God of highnotes for 17 years
I LOVE HIM SO MUCH
At first i was disappointed in the chorus because of that amazing build up, but I realized it really balanced out the song’s dynamic.
Really loved this song!!
Also the versatility of this voice in this song
"this is like a whole damn boy group on its own" faCTS
I love this song too, his perfect vocals are everything rn
You are on point.
Max is on whole another level.
"God Tier"
Yes, I love Max's Chocolate. *stops* ignore that innuendo. *face palms* you get what I mean. I Love the song.

changmin wrote the korean lyrics for this! he did so well, i'm so proud of him
It's gotta be god tier, especially since he's Max Changmin, a god rising from the east
LOL
But honestly, when he was asked why it took 17 years for him to release a solo (apart from the obvious reason he wanted to focus on group work with Yunho), it wasn't because he wasn't being given opportunities by the company, but because it was a personal choice. He wanted to create solo work at a time in his life when he personally felt that was ready, when he believed that his skills were good enough (ikr like??? to us he has always been beyond capable!!!) and he's comfortable enough to create music he can be proud of, and this was THE YEAR.
I thought the same thing about his range. I was in AWE every time his voice changed. I can’t get enough of this song!
Your jaw literally dropped 😂🥰 Also I watched an interview and Changmin said he wrote the lyrics!
yes!!!! max is too underrated. He always tried to get out of center. His personality. I'm really admired for getting better and better.
Did you get that in the beginning he counted in French ???
I was like “wow okay ! Alright !”
I’m happy because I’m French, but like why ? 😂
I'm hoping that was his voice bc it 'shocked' me that he chose to put French in the intro lol
When a member of a group debuts as a soloist it is to highlight their skills, however, many end up wasting that opportunity showing half of their potential, but Max... He got really proved that he is a true vocal!!
When PD is 😲 through most of the MV ... and speechless... you know it’s good.

LMAO the moment of silence after PD just finished it made me laugh so hard and also so proud of this man...Changmin's solo is no joke
This song needs more hype . He's really amazing.
his "beautiful savage" is the sexiest thing that's ever happened to me
MAX Chocolate is bringing me back into TVXQ and I left after Mirotic era. This guy. is. so. powerful.

I wasn't expecting the swing into the lower range for those couple of lines before the pre-chorus but goddamn you are right it is sexy af. This whole video is sexy af and is now my everything. This man obliterated my bias list and I liked it.
changmin is 100000% the reason i got into kpop in 2008. his vocals in tvxq's mirotic knocked me o u t
This is my favourite reaction of yours omg I'm living for this
Changmin did so good, omg. so proud of him. Like he did that, it was like the teacher showing the students how it is done.
I'm a long-time TVXQ fan and I've been DYING for SM to give Changmin a solo album ever since he started doing solo songs during their concerts (if you haven't seen the video of him singing X-Japan's Rusty Nail live, you are missing out!) and this album was everything I could have ever asked for 11/10 ❤️
I’m so addicted to Changmin Chocolate album. He and his team did an amazing job. All the songs are very different genre but still feeling incredible cohesive! It is definitely an album full of all Changmin difference vocal styles 🥰
Highly recommend the other two songs in that album: Piano and Me, myself & I! His voice is super incredible. This album really shows that he has endless possibilities.
12:04 > me everytime it gets to that part of the song
Totally in love with this song. Can't wait to have the time to loop Max's album
I just descovered him yesterday and my reaction was like yours ^^ there is 80% of vocals, I was speechless. By the way it's a great video 👏
I totally agree with your overall reaction like yeah this MV is a holy crap. SM really get all the powerful vocals in kpop
Yes please do a listening party! My favorite song is definitely Piano. It's just so GOOD you have to check it!
This song has everything. It's amazing, and I love it. Chocolate was definitely added to my favorite songs list.
DO A LISTENING PARTY OMG YOU'LL LOVE THE ALBUM
All I could say was "Iconic " with a frozen look on my face. Truly amazing song and concept.
PD! We are so glad you are doing the Kulture Study on Max "Chocolate" MV. We were not into old SM stuff before until we found out TVXQ "Truth" in Dec 2019. They are really the legends in KPOP. Although there're so many talented vocalists in KPOP, Changmin is the best of the best. His vocal range is so wide. His high notes could go unlimited. Changmin wrote the lyrics of this song. The song is written and arranged by Danish musician Thomas Troelsen. He also wrote another track "Piano" in Max Changmin's solo album. This is my favorite song from "Chocolate". We were wondering why "Piano" was not chosen as the title song, but after watching a few interviews and your reaction we understood "Chocolate" really "Maximize" his vocal range and singing skills. He is such one of the most underrated artists in KPOP. Thank you for giving Max Chocolate a 10 out of 10! We are a family who love KPOP and we are real Cassiopeia! We actually saw them in their Circle #with concert in Hong kong in July, 2019. Also followed them to Japan for their XV Live Tour in Fukuoka in Nov 2019. After seeing multiple KPOP groups live, we have to say TVXQ's live is the BEST! Our second generation of Cassiopeia also made a reaction video: th-cam.com/video/fEGG9fskp7w/w-d-xo.html
Yes, please do a listen party 🙏❤️
His album is seriously so good all songs are amazing!! “Piano” is such gem and the sexist song ever.. “Lie” ft Chungha is a bop!! “No Tomorrow” is such an amazing song and Changmin wrote the lyrics of it too. “Me,Myself and I” “High Heels” truly AOTY imo!!
he is changmin from TVXQ, the classical
I'm so happy that you liked it. And imagine I was sitting with the same face and I'm his hard Stan for like 13 years or so❤️❤️thank you for reaction
I heard the song and immediately went and bought the physical copy. Also please listening party
