I almost cried when I saw this reaction - I am so very pleased you finally got around to WayV!!!! They are my favorite subunit of NCT, which, along with Stray Kids, is my favorite Kpop group (even though technically the WayV subunit is C-Pop). WayV is the subunit that focuses on the Chinese market, although they perform not only in Chinese, but also in English and Korean. All of the WayV members are at least part Chinese and the group is named WayV to suit the rules/tastes of China. Like all of the NCT subunits, they usually have more rappers than vocalists in their group :Yang Yang (blonde), Hendery (short black hair), WinWin (young face deep voice), Lucas (on hiatus since last year), plus Ten (body roll bare midriff) who is mainly a vocalist in WayV, but also raps in some other NCT U stuff. The two other vocalists are Xiaojun (grey hair) and Kun (red hair). You will very likely enjoy a LOT of WayV's songs as they are mostly hard hitting, rap/hip hop and/or R&B tracks. Their dancing is incredibly precise and strong, especially with Ten and WinWin both being extremely good dancers. I suggest "Turn Back Time" or "Moonwalk" next from them. I hope you will continue to explore more WayV as well as more of NCT in general. Phantom is the title track from their latest mini album, "Phantom" which just dropped today, They also made a track video for the song "Diamonds Only" (a shortened version of the full song but with a full scale MV) and should be dropping another video or two next week as well according to their schedule. SM Entertainment is their label and SMtown indicates all of their music artists (including Aespa, Red Velvet, EXO, NCT (NCT U, NCT 127, NCT Dream, & WayV), TVXQ (the host of the Kingdom show Max Changmin is in TVXQ), Super Junior, Super M, Girls Generation, as well as many solo acts.)
I forgot completely to mention the Phantom reference bit - I agree that the video is nodding to Phantom of the Opera -not just the mention of Phantom and the mask, but there is a scene in Phantom of the Opera where they ride in a similar looking boat surrounded by candles, like they do in this video. Even more so, when they are singing in a descending scale, that reminds me of the famous opening descending organ scale from Phantom of the Opera - the bit everyone recognizes "Da Da Da Da Daaaahhhhhh" (not the same notes but a similar feel).
Thanks for the background, I like songs in any language, and I like Korean ..I know Ten and win win from their dance.stunning dancers aren't they ? This is an increasing from them,and you can hear some Straykid influence.
WayV have the best discography and choreography in Nct. You can check their English song - love talk , miracle And their other song - moonwalk, turn back time, domino, take off.
Btw, that guys in crop top just had a solo song called “Birthday”😃 if you have time you can check it + the dance practice! The dance practice is so good
👏🏻Their ‘Phantom’ album debuted the highest out of all the NCT subunits on the U.S iTunes chart(most competitive for rankings) WITHOUT promo, other units got promo 😏
I didn't think you'd ever react to WayV! Ahhh they've been gone for so long I was starting to loose hope but I'm so glad they're back! They were the first mando-pop artists I ever listened to (2/3 years ago) and their songs were one of the things that kept me motivated studying Mandarin. I remember writing their lyrics at the margins of my notebook instead of paying attention in class lol Also, in case you're curious about the members: - Red hair: Kun. He's the leader of WayV and main vocalist - Deep voice: WinWin. He does look 3, but he's 25 (26 in Korean age). Lead dancer and lead rapper - Crop-top: Ten. Main dancer and vocalist, also center. Fun fact: he's Thai but for some reason he's the one I understand the most when he speaks chinese lol You should see him dance, he's mesmerizing.. I personally love the choreography he did with WinWin on "lovely" - Blond hair: YangYang. Main rapper, dancer and maknae. He lived in Germany for a while so he knows german - Grey hair: XiaoJun. Main vocalist, but you probably noticed ahahah - Black hair: Hendery. Main rapper, dancer, visual. He's afraid of frogs. Is it relevant? No but OK There is actually a seventh member, Lucas (rapper, center, visual), but he's currently in hiatus They don't really have "rap songs" in their discography, at least not like 3racha does, but they still include some sections in their music. My fav songs of theirs are "Moonwalk", "Love talk" (the Chinese version), "turn back time", "regular", "bad alive" and "action figure" I haven't listened to their new album yet apart of this song, so maybe I'll add something when I do
Wow I never thought you would check out WayV! They were my first Ult group! (SKZ has taken that crown now). WayV is a 7 member group, one member (Lucas) is on hiatus right now. WayV is the Chinese unit of NCT. They are incredible! Their B sides are some of the best B sides that exist. Especially on this new album in particular! WayV is definitely highlyyyyyyyy under rated! And they deserve so much more recognition! They do sing primarily in Chinese however they have some English songs to! Also Ten who is in this group, is one of the best dancers in Kpop. Period. The main rappers in the group are Yangyang (the one you wanted more of), Hendery, Winwin (the deep voice), and Lucas (who is on hiatus right now). Main vocals are Xiaojun, Ten, and Kun (Leader) You should check out Turn back time, Moon walk, Take off, Action Figure, Love talk (it's a hoe anthem lol)
I love to watch people discover WayV for the first time. They are definitely wonderfully different. They have so many awesome songs. Have a great time listening to their music. ❤
Because WayV -- which stands for We Are Your Vision in English -- or Weishen V in Chinese -- which means "gods of vision" -- is a sub-unit of NCT, NCT's whole dream concept is also part of WayV's storyline and concept. (Hence, why in the lyrics of "Phantom" they say "only I can see the truth," and they talk about having the vision, etc.) As with everything NCT does, it all has to do with dreams, dreaming or something to do with being in a dream state. Some fans who are into SM group theories have also speculated that NCT's storyline also connects to EXO's and SuperM's storylines. Although WayV's "Phantom" MV is loosely based on the concept of the Phantom of the Opera, a phantom is just another name for a ghost or apparition, so I really think the song is about a phantom in general, not specifically the phantom that haunts the opera house. I think the song is more about the image of someone or something that haunts your thoughts or memories, etc. that seems to be affecting or controlling all aspects of your life, manipulating you like a puppet on a string. Currently, there are 7 members in WayV: Ten and Lucas debuted first as members of NCT-U and they are also members of SuperM; Winwin first debuted as a member of NCT-127 and NCT-U, and Kun -- the leader of WayV -- originally debuted as part of NCT-2018; and Yanyang, Xiaojun and Hendrey debuted specifically as members of WayV at the beginning of 2019 when WayV was formed. > Kun -- the one with the red hair -- is the oldest who is almost 27. He is a lead vocalist. > Ten -- the guy with the mullet hairstyle -- is 26 and he is Thai, but his grandparents are Chinese and he attended an international school in Thailand where they spoke English most of the time, so he is fluent in English. (He is the NCT member who is fluent in the most languages -- on top of being fluent in Thai, English, Korean and Mandarin, he is also learning Japanese); he is a main dancer, lead vocalist and a center of WayV. He is also the NCT member with the most solo songs. > WinWin -- the one you thought was really young -- is 25 years old and he is a lead vocalist, lead dancer and sub-rapper. (He is trained in traditional Chinese dance and attended one of the most prestigious dance academies in China. He was also admitted to a very important dance program at University -- similar to the Chinese equivalent of Julliard.) > Xiaojun -- the guy with the gray hair -- is 23 and he is the main vocalist and the one with the high notes most of the time. > Hendrey -- the one with the crazy eyes -- is 23 and he is from Macau China, so he also speaks Cantonese; he is a lead vocalist and lead rapper. > Yangyang -- the blond -- is the youngest at 22 years old. He is Taiwanese, but he lived in Germany for a while and attended an international school, so he is also fluent in English and proficient in German; he is the main rapper. > *Not in the MV. Lucas is Chinese-Thai from Hong Kong, so his native language is Cantonese and he is almost 24; he is a lead rapper, vocalist and the visual of WayV. (However, due to a dating scandal and other controversies, Lucas has been on hiatus for more than a year now, with no indication as to if or when he will be able to return to NCT.) The only reason why WayV doesn't have NCT in their name like the other 3 NCT sub-units is because, at the time of their debut, there was a lot of political issues between Korea and China, and because of that Korean companies were not able to work in China. NCT's Chinese sub-unit has been going to debut for years, but with all the political issues it took SM Entertainment a long time to find a way to work around all the rules the Chinese government put in place to prevent its native Chinese citizens from working with anyone associated with Korea and preventing anyone who was working with a Korean company from working in China. So in order to circumvent some of China's restrictions, SM found/created a Chinese company that was willing to take on NCT's Chinese sub-unit, but also allow SM to have a say in the group's concept and promotion activities. Part of how they get around the rules is they gave the group a name that distances them from their Korean roots. (That is also why WayV's Chinese fans are called WayZenNi instead of NCTzens and why WayV has their own lightstick design that is different than NCT's, etc.) The company WayV is under is called Label V which is part of SM, but separate from the Korean branch of the company and it produces songs in Mandarin to keep the Chinese government happy. All the members of WayV also speak Mandarin and have some connection to Chinese heritage, but most of the members are not native mainland Chinese citizens, so this gives them some immunity from the Chinese government. But they are representing China and they are promoting Chinese culture, so the Chinese government kind of turned a blind eye to the fact that they are technically still under a Korean company, as long as they hid any connection to their Korean company while doing promotions in China. As you can see, not only do the WayV members speak, Mandarin, Korean and English, but they are a very international group that speaks many languages. So, pretty much all of WayV's songs are in Mandarin with a few English lyrics and words mixed in. (Except when it's an English version, such as "Bad Alive" or their all English version of "Love Talk," or their English song "Miracle", or if you happen to pick the Korean version of some of their songs.) LOL Because WayV is the Chinese unit, but they are releasing music in Korea and promoting in Korea, not specifically in China, SM is more likely to produce their songs in English. Hence, why several of WayV's previous songs are English songs, because -- due to the pandemic, political issues, Lucas being on hiatus, etc. -- they aren't promoting as a group in China right now. I think it helps SM avoid any crossover issues with Korea that might make it more difficult for them to promote in China in the future. You should now check out one of WayV's live performances of "Phantom" because the song and choreography is even better when you see and hear it live. SM Entertainment is known as the vocal powerhouse of the Kpop industry, which also happens to have some of the best dancers. And the company is known for the fact that when their artists perform live, they are even better than any of their studio recordings. So everyone always looks forward to their live performances. I think you will be even more impressed when you see it live.
WinWin is not a lead vocalist, but lead dancer plus sub rapper and sub vocalist (and also an actor). He notoriously gets the fewest lines in many older songs but he always stands out regardless and is well liked by not only the fans but also all of the NCT members (lots of funny videos highlighting this lol). He is a trained dancer and it really shows. So nice to see WinWin back performing with WayV again after his acting schedule/Covid restrictions kept him in China for so long. I love that he has a lot more lines on this album :)
@@Heathmah WinWin certainly isn't a main vocalist, and he may not get a lot of lines in songs, but when he sings, which he does sing, I think his contribution to the song is as a lead vocalist. Whether he is a lead singer or a sub-singer is a matter of opinion. I think he has earned and deserves the title of lead singer. At least that's my opinion.
Deep voice guy (he looks like a 3 year boy): Win-Win (1:34)...crop-top with jacket: Ten (me: Lee)...”they doing body-rolls Again...Shoutout To Chan in Stray Kids”: 😆...me had SAME thought on the rapping part of this song: M O R E...WayV debut 1/17/2019...it has 7 guys BUT Lucas is on hiatus since mid December 2021
If there's one thing about NCT/Wayv, it's that their instrumentals and choreo NEVER dissappoint. They are always one of a kind and probably one of the only groups in kpop that still work with old school r&b, hip hop, trap, rap and edm. It's such a pleasure to embark on a musical journey with them, they helped me enhance my taste in music so much. They are all also one of the best dancers and that guy in the crop top you talked about? that's TEN LEE. He is considered to be the best dancer in the whole of NCT (mind you that NCT has 23 members and all are exceptional dancers so being called the best amongst all of them is an achievement in it's own)
I'm literally so happy that you have finally done a WayV reaction and I hope you do more. So for info: WayV is the Chinese subunit of NCT a group. Nct is a group of 23 members under SM label. Members: Kun = Red hair Kun is the Leader of WayV, Speaks Mandarin(Chinese), Korean, and some English. He has a Bachelor's degree from Beijing Contemporary Music Institute. Ten = crop top guy. He is our Thai king. He speaks Thai, English, Korean, Mandarin(Chinese), and some Japanese. Known for his dancing. Xiaojun= Dark Silver hair Speaks Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, and English. He is known for his Vocals, and Dancing. Specifically his Epic high notes. WINWIN = Chestnut Brown hair/ the one you pointed out looking young but has a crazy deep voice. He speaks Mandarin, Korean and some English. Hendery = short Black hair. He speaks Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, and English. Known for His Prince like Visuals. YANGYANG = Bleach Blonde hair He speaks Mandarin, Korean, German, English, and some Spanish. He is the Maknae( the youngest) and he is a rapper. He and grew up in Germany, but he is Taiwanese. This is some basic information I hope if you like them enough to watch a fan made guide to know more about them. Songs I recommend are Turn back time, MoonWalk, Love Talk(All English track), Miracle(All English track) Also the Rainbow V project videos they split up into subunits to dance or sing they are all good but Ten and Winwin's dance is incredible. Sorry this was a lot to read I'm just very excited.
This song was supposed to be out in like 2021, they already finished the album in March 2021, and it was supposed be a full length album, but the company changed it to a mini album, they never get the treatment and promotion they deserved, but still they slay every time
WayV is the best nct subunit by far. Start with their first song Takeoff and go from there. Literally all of their songs are great. I think you'll especially like Action Figure, Bad Alive and Diamonds Only for their beats
OMG YESS we are back to THE NCT ARC?? Teddy you NEED to check out more of Neo Culture Technology! They are definitely your cup of tea. As for wayV, they are another sub unit of the NCT concept and are mainly concerned with Mandarin and Chinese aspects of the group. They came back with this banger after a whole of 2 years and fans were begging to see their work all this time, so this is not only a masterpiece but also an emotional ride for us nctzens/wavyzens. Hopefully, you'll react to more of their music super soon
I prefer WayV’s music, I tried but couldn’t get into the other NCT unit’s music, WayV is super talented, I hope you support them because they lack support from their company, the more fans the better for them ❤🙃🙂
They have always been part of NCT, though. I don’t know what you’re going on about. NCT as a whole are super talented and their music are bangers. Period.
@@firstlast-wm3li yes, i never said they weren't part of nct. and i am not discounting the groups talent. its just about preferences. something about wayv reaches me in a way the rest of the nct subunits dont. but that is the beautiful thing about music as a whole, different things reach different people. i'm not bashing. just saying that this subunit stands out from the others for me.
WayV is sooooo underrated!!!They are soooo GOOD! LOVE TALK - TURN BACK TIME - BAD ALIVE (!very very good!) - MOONLIGHT ;-) You will not be disappointed 😉
THANK YOUUU!! I am a big fan of NCT and seeing your reaction to WayV's new song has made my day, I would really like to see you react to more WayV or NCT songs because I know you would love them WayV its a subunit of NCT You can try WayV - Take Off WayV - Moonwalk WayV - Miracle WayV - Bad Alive WayV - Love Talk Thanks again, I really enjoy your reactions!
Somebody said WayV was dead! They need to review their statement, cause this is fire🔥🔥🔥! You should react to more of them, they are absolutely talented!!
Wayv is an amazing unit of nct I'm a multi stan and NCT is one of the first group i got into wayv because they had english songs it was easier to help me ease into kpop
Here I am showing up late with a response but I'm thrilled you did get to some WayV. They are definitely severely underappreciated. Turn Back Time is definitely one I think you'd like a lot. I also really love Bad Alive and Moonwalk (though the latter is definitely a softer song of theirs but I always just really liked the raps in it). The guy in the crop top is Ten, and is probably one of the best male dancers in the industry. He's got quite a few solo songs and they're mostly quite poppy but all quite fantastic. He did a duo song called "Low Low" with Yangyang, one of the rappers of WayV and it's like polar opposite vibes from this but such an ear worm and I can't even guess how many times I have listened to it. He's also in SuperM along with SM's two other legendary dancers, Kai from EXO and Taemin from SHINee. It's honestly kind of amazing getting to see them all preform together.
I really like NCT and all their subunits. WayV may not have the NCT in the name but you can still feel their vibes. Its also cool that they sing in Chinese. WayV has some dope songs, but so does NCT as a whole. I am just thinking which songs would suit your taste though. The label is called SM Entertainment but they have a thing called SM Town, from my understanding it is a name when all groups and artists come together and have concerts together. I guess it is similar to what JYP has... there its called JYP Nation.
So glad you liked them they’re my favourite unit! Yangyang (white hair, rapper) and Xiaojun (grey hair, vocal legend) are my favourite members as well and it’s nice to see them get paid their dues😭😭. Would love to see a deep dive into the POTO lore as well as an full album reaction the rest of the album is just as good if not better than the title track😌😌
SMTOWN ARTIST (Oldest to Youngest groups/soloists) Kangta BoA TVXQ/DBSK Super Junior Girls Generation SHINee EXO F(x) Red Velvet - (All NCT groups) NCT U NCT 127 NCT DREAM WayV - Aespa Some DJ's I know are Ginjo and Raiden (Not sure where they belong in this list) Then SMrookies who are a group that are allegedly supposed to debut in NCT
Came back to this after listening to their recent comeback ‘on my youth’. You have to react to it!!!! Especially because you liked superM! Tens dance and vocals are amazing and xiaojuns high notes!!!
You should check out “turn back time”, “only human”, “unbreakable” and “domino” if you’re interested in wayv🙌 also if you want to hear some good Chinese rappers I recommend jellorio, psy.p and dengdianguo
the only subunit of NCT that makes bop after bop, strongest discography in CPOP/KPOP, they could take over as the top group if they were promoted by their company,
I.m so glad you are reacting to asian music, kpop included, cause i have no idea where to start... skz got me through reels :)) and since then i tried to find more music I enjoy but a lot are not my style unfortunately but through this channel i trust i will discover the music with you, Teddy, cause your followers know what you like 😎
Please, please, please react to On My Youth of Wayv!!!! I’m so glad to see you react to Wayv finally, they’re definately underrated!!!, I love all of their songs, and Onmy youth, Moonwalk, Regular, Love talk are all really amazing ones, please check them out
definitely check out kick back, TURN BACK TIME FOR SURE, and Love Talk (English Ver.) by WayV!! they're a subunit of NCT. you should check out some NCT 127 and NCT U songs as well!! they're right up your alley!
I've never listened to these guys before. That'll teach me not to listen to all Of Dee's advice next time. lol. Sorry I missed the premiere, but this was great! It was definitely giving me Phantom of the Opera Vibes....as always, Thank you Teddy!
Next WAYV Turn Back Time , this sont oh my ... Hey I saw that you liked SM artists ( AESPA, NCT U , NCT 127) So I invite you to react to *EXO*( big, Legendary group, there are NCT&AESPA's seniors) . React to EXO OBSESSION, you will not regret it . And if you like VOCALS please react to AESPA's seniors, RED VELVET an amazing group. I recommend you Red Velvet PSYCHO. Thank you .
Have you ever heard of the new group ENHYPEN ? I would love you to react to their song 'Future perfect (pass the mic)'. Btw i really appreciate your channel!
🚨 hi Teddy, I really like watching your reaction videos especially Stray Kids, I like Stray Kids and NCT, I think NCT 127 has the same song genre as Stray Kids, namely "noisy songs" which makes me like it... I hope you can make video reaction to another song from NCT 127, for information NCT uses the "Neo SMP" genre and SMP is an abbreviation for "SM Music Performance" which was created by the SM Entertainment agency itself to differentiate the quality and genre from songs from other agencies, and NCT is indeed famous for the songs have been "experimental" since they debuted... I highly recommend you make a reaction video to songs from NCT 127 namely Fire Truck, Limitless, Cherry Bomb, Chain, Superhuman, Kick It, Sticker (I really recommend this song)... also NCT has several units in it, me too highly recommend the songs NCT U-Boss, NCT U-Baby Don't Stop, NCT U-Make A Wish, NCT U-Misfit, NCT U-Raise The Roof, NCT U-90's Love, NCT U-Let's Play Ball... a little information about NCT U, there is a sub unit from a combination of several members of NCT 127, NCT Dream, and WayV (WayV is included in the NCT group based on promotions in China), so NCT has 3 permanent groups, namely NCT 127, NCT Dream, and WayV
if you want gry some other kpop fire groups try some of them with great rappers B.A.P songs one shot or wake me up BTOB song i'll be you're man the original song ( you already watch the SKZ cover MONSTA X song hero rooftop version . SVT leaders song CHEERS Block B song very good .
I like the song, I do, and I think the members did an excellent job. However, I can’t help but miss Lucas… I feel like the mv would feel more complete if Lucas was there, I mean, it’s been over a year now :(
NCT concept is too much for me to follow and the songs I heard aren't that much on my taste so I didn't try hard ^^"" ... but this one was nice, I loved the deep voices, the choreo and it's actually catchy. I'm glad I discovered it with you.

I almost cried when I saw this reaction - I am so very pleased you finally got around to WayV!!!! They are my favorite subunit of NCT, which, along with Stray Kids, is my favorite Kpop group (even though technically the WayV subunit is C-Pop). WayV is the subunit that focuses on the Chinese market, although they perform not only in Chinese, but also in English and Korean. All of the WayV members are at least part Chinese and the group is named WayV to suit the rules/tastes of China.

I hope you will continue to explore more WayV as well as more of NCT in general.
Phantom is the title track from their latest mini album, "Phantom" which just dropped today, They also made a track video for the song "Diamonds Only" (a shortened version of the full song but with a full scale MV) and should be dropping another video or two next week as well according to their schedule.
SM Entertainment is their label and SMtown indicates all of their music artists (including Aespa, Red Velvet, EXO, NCT (NCT U, NCT 127, NCT Dream, & WayV), TVXQ (the host of the Kingdom show Max Changmin is in TVXQ), Super Junior, Super M, Girls Generation, as well as many solo acts.)

WayV have the best discography and choreography in Nct.
You can check their English song - love talk , miracle
And their other song - moonwalk, turn back time, domino, take off.
Btw, that guys in crop top just had a solo song called “Birthday”😃 if you have time you can check it + the dance practice! The dance practice is so good
👏🏻Their ‘Phantom’ album debuted the highest out of all the NCT subunits on the U.S iTunes chart(most competitive for rankings) WITHOUT promo, other units got promo 😏
Indeed ~
I didn't think you'd ever react to WayV! Ahhh they've been gone for so long I was starting to loose hope but I'm so glad they're back!
They were the first mando-pop artists I ever listened to (2/3 years ago) and their songs were one of the things that kept me motivated studying Mandarin. I remember writing their lyrics at the margins of my notebook instead of paying attention in class lol
Also, in case you're curious about the members:

- Blond hair: YangYang. Main rapper, dancer and maknae. He lived in Germany for a while so he knows german
- Grey hair: XiaoJun. Main vocalist, but you probably noticed ahahah
- Black hair: Hendery. Main rapper, dancer, visual. He's afraid of frogs. Is it relevant? No but OK
There is actually a seventh member, Lucas (rapper, center, visual), but he's currently in hiatus
They don't really have "rap songs" in their discography, at least not like 3racha does, but they still include some sections in their music.
My fav songs of theirs are "Moonwalk", "Love talk" (the Chinese version), "turn back time", "regular", "bad alive" and "action figure"
I haven't listened to their new album yet apart of this song, so maybe I'll add something when I do
Wow I never thought you would check out WayV! They were my first Ult group! (SKZ has taken that crown now).
WayV is a 7 member group, one member (Lucas) is on hiatus right now.
WayV is the Chinese unit of NCT. They are incredible! Their B sides are some of the best B sides that exist. Especially on this new album in particular!
WayV is definitely highlyyyyyyyy under rated! And they deserve so much more recognition!
They do sing primarily in Chinese however they have some English songs to!
Also Ten who is in this group, is one of the best dancers in Kpop. Period.
The main rappers in the group are Yangyang (the one you wanted more of), Hendery, Winwin (the deep voice), and Lucas (who is on hiatus right now).
Main vocals are Xiaojun, Ten, and Kun (Leader)
You should check out Turn back time, Moon walk, Take off, Action Figure, Love talk (it's a hoe anthem lol)
I love to watch people discover WayV for the first time. They are definitely wonderfully different. They have so many awesome songs. Have a great time listening to their music. ❤
Ten and yang yang are my favorite duo when it comes to content cause they are funny together

> Hendrey -- the one with the crazy eyes -- is 23 and he is from Macau China, so he also speaks Cantonese; he is a lead vocalist and lead rapper.
> Yangyang -- the blond -- is the youngest at 22 years old. He is Taiwanese, but he lived in Germany for a while and attended an international school, so he is also fluent in English and proficient in German; he is the main rapper.
> *Not in the MV. Lucas is Chinese-Thai from Hong Kong, so his native language is Cantonese and he is almost 24; he is a lead rapper, vocalist and the visual of WayV. (However, due to a dating scandal and other controversies, Lucas has been on hiatus for more than a year now, with no indication as to if or when he will be able to return to NCT.)
The only reason why WayV doesn't have NCT in their name like the other 3 NCT sub-units is because, at the time of their debut, there was a lot of political issues between Korea and China, and because of that Korean companies were not able to work in China. NCT's Chinese sub-unit has been going to debut for years, but with all the political issues it took SM Entertainment a long time to find a way to work around all the rules the Chinese government put in place to prevent its native Chinese citizens from working with anyone associated with Korea and preventing anyone who was working with a Korean company from working in China.
So in order to circumvent some of China's restrictions, SM found/created a Chinese company that was willing to take on NCT's Chinese sub-unit, but also allow SM to have a say in the group's concept and promotion activities. Part of how they get around the rules is they gave the group a name that distances them from their Korean roots. (That is also why WayV's Chinese fans are called WayZenNi instead of NCTzens and why WayV has their own lightstick design that is different than NCT's, etc.) The company WayV is under is called Label V which is part of SM, but separate from the Korean branch of the company and it produces songs in Mandarin to keep the Chinese government happy. All the members of WayV also speak Mandarin and have some connection to Chinese heritage, but most of the members are not native mainland Chinese citizens, so this gives them some immunity from the Chinese government. But they are representing China and they are promoting Chinese culture, so the Chinese government kind of turned a blind eye to the fact that they are technically still under a Korean company, as long as they hid any connection to their Korean company while doing promotions in China.
As you can see, not only do the WayV members speak, Mandarin, Korean and English, but they are a very international group that speaks many languages.
So, pretty much all of WayV's songs are in Mandarin with a few English lyrics and words mixed in. (Except when it's an English version, such as "Bad Alive" or their all English version of "Love Talk," or their English song "Miracle", or if you happen to pick the Korean version of some of their songs.) LOL
Because WayV is the Chinese unit, but they are releasing music in Korea and promoting in Korea, not specifically in China, SM is more likely to produce their songs in English. Hence, why several of WayV's previous songs are English songs, because -- due to the pandemic, political issues, Lucas being on hiatus, etc. -- they aren't promoting as a group in China right now. I think it helps SM avoid any crossover issues with Korea that might make it more difficult for them to promote in China in the future.
You should now check out one of WayV's live performances of "Phantom" because the song and choreography is even better when you see and hear it live. SM Entertainment is known as the vocal powerhouse of the Kpop industry, which also happens to have some of the best dancers. And the company is known for the fact that when their artists perform live, they are even better than any of their studio recordings. So everyone always looks forward to their live performances. I think you will be even more impressed when you see it live.
WinWin is not a lead vocalist, but lead dancer plus sub rapper and sub vocalist (and also an actor). He notoriously gets the fewest lines in many older songs but he always stands out regardless and is well liked by not only the fans but also all of the NCT members (lots of funny videos highlighting this lol). He is a trained dancer and it really shows. So nice to see WinWin back performing with WayV again after his acting schedule/Covid restrictions kept him in China for so long. I love that he has a lot more lines on this album :)
@@Heathmah WinWin certainly isn't a main vocalist, and he may not get a lot of lines in songs, but when he sings, which he does sing, I think his contribution to the song is as a lead vocalist. Whether he is a lead singer or a sub-singer is a matter of opinion. I think he has earned and deserves the title of lead singer. At least that's my opinion.
Deep voice guy (he looks like a 3 year boy): Win-Win (1:34)...crop-top with jacket: Ten (me: Lee)...”they doing body-rolls Again...Shoutout To Chan in Stray Kids”: 😆...me had SAME thought on the rapping part of this song: M O R E...WayV debut 1/17/2019...it has 7 guys BUT Lucas is on hiatus since mid December 2021
If there's one thing about NCT/Wayv, it's that their instrumentals and choreo NEVER dissappoint. They are always one of a kind and probably one of the only groups in kpop that still work with old school r&b, hip hop, trap, rap and edm. It's such a pleasure to embark on a musical journey with them, they helped me enhance my taste in music so much. They are all also one of the best dancers and that guy in the crop top you talked about? that's TEN LEE. He is considered to be the best dancer in the whole of NCT (mind you that NCT has 23 members and all are exceptional dancers so being called the best amongst all of them is an achievement in it's own)
I'm literally so happy that you have finally done a WayV reaction and I hope you do more.
So for info: WayV is the Chinese subunit of NCT a group. Nct is a group of 23 members under SM label.
Members:
Kun = Red hair
Kun is the Leader of WayV, Speaks Mandarin(Chinese), Korean, and some English. He has a Bachelor's degree from Beijing Contemporary Music Institute.
Ten = crop top guy.
He is our Thai king. He speaks Thai, English, Korean, Mandarin(Chinese), and some Japanese. Known for his dancing.
Xiaojun= Dark Silver hair
Speaks Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, and English. He is known for his Vocals, and Dancing. Specifically his Epic high notes.
WINWIN = Chestnut Brown hair/ the one you pointed out looking young but has a crazy deep voice.
He speaks Mandarin, Korean and some English.
Hendery = short Black hair.
He speaks Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, and English. Known for His Prince like Visuals.
YANGYANG = Bleach Blonde hair
He speaks Mandarin, Korean, German, English, and some Spanish. He is the Maknae( the youngest) and he is a rapper. He and grew up in Germany, but he is Taiwanese.
This is some basic information I hope if you like them enough to watch a fan made guide to know more about them.
Songs I recommend are Turn back time, MoonWalk, Love Talk(All English track), Miracle(All English track) Also the Rainbow V project videos they split up into subunits to dance or sing they are all good but Ten and Winwin's dance is incredible.
Sorry this was a lot to read I'm just very excited.
I am so impressed with is song, I thinks it's brilliant, loved everything about it, I am Stay.
The NCT unit with the strongest discography imo. After 2 years, the boys are back, LETS GO.
WayV is the Chinese subunit of NCT which is a group under SM entertainment
4:17 guy in the crop top name is Ten.
One of thr best dancer in kpop.
Do check his English single
Birthday- ten
Glad too see some wayv!! I’ve recently been getting into them more always good to get some more insight as I go!
I have been waiting so long for this comeback!
WayV ❤
This song was supposed to be out in like 2021, they already finished the album in March 2021, and it was supposed be a full length album, but the company changed it to a mini album, they never get the treatment and promotion they deserved, but still they slay every time
Thanks for this react I ryley appreciated. And i love my wayv boys they are so talented
I like your reaction so much👍🔥😃 Thank you!!!
OMG WAYV YES WAYV YES 😭😭I'm so happy--
this is the best wayV reaction i ever watch thank you
WayV is the best nct subunit by far. Start with their first song Takeoff and go from there. Literally all of their songs are great. I think you'll especially like Action Figure, Bad Alive and Diamonds Only for their beats
OOHHH YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO THE FULL ALBUM, ITS AMAZING!!
I love your musical references: Tambaland, Childish Gambino, Michael Jackson in previous reactions..... You're such a reference man 😍😍😍😍
thanks more WayV pls
OMG YESS we are back to THE NCT ARC?? Teddy you NEED to check out more of Neo Culture Technology! They are definitely your cup of tea. As for wayV, they are another sub unit of the NCT concept and are mainly concerned with Mandarin and Chinese aspects of the group. They came back with this banger after a whole of 2 years and fans were begging to see their work all this time, so this is not only a masterpiece but also an emotional ride for us nctzens/wavyzens. Hopefully, you'll react to more of their music super soon
wanna hear more rapping in their songs? i recommend reacting to Turn Back Time :)
I’m not really an NCT fan (sorry) but I’m enjoying WayV. I’m glad their able to stand on their own even when officially a connected group to NCT.
I prefer WayV’s music, I tried but couldn’t get into the other NCT unit’s music, WayV is super talented, I hope you support them because they lack support from their company, the more fans the better for them ❤🙃🙂
They have always been part of NCT, though. I don’t know what you’re going on about. NCT as a whole are super talented and their music are bangers. Period.
@@firstlast-wm3li yes, i never said they weren't part of nct. and i am not discounting the groups talent. its just about preferences. something about wayv reaches me in a way the rest of the nct subunits dont. but that is the beautiful thing about music as a whole, different things reach different people. i'm not bashing. just saying that this subunit stands out from the others for me.
WayV is sooooo underrated!!!They are soooo GOOD! LOVE TALK - TURN BACK TIME - BAD ALIVE (!very very good!) - MOONLIGHT ;-) You will not be disappointed 😉
U must react more wayv
lmaooo imagine him reacting to love talk
This song is so fire it kinda sounds a little like Prince When Doves Cry in the beginning! Thank you for reacting Teddy!!!
THANK YOUUU!!
I am a big fan of NCT and seeing your reaction to WayV's new song has made my day, I would really like to see you react to more WayV or NCT songs because I know you would love them
WayV its a subunit of NCT
You can try
WayV - Take Off
WayV - Moonwalk
WayV - Miracle
WayV - Bad Alive
WayV - Love Talk
Thanks again, I really enjoy your reactions!
Thank you so much for Reaction my favorite group, WayV. Wish you enjoy them song in the future!
Somebody said WayV was dead! They need to review their statement, cause this is fire🔥🔥🔥! You should react to more of them, they are absolutely talented!!
Whoever said that is a clown, a hater, an anti.
They ryley never miss, love all the songs
Wayv is an amazing unit of nct I'm a multi stan and NCT is one of the first group i got into wayv because they had english songs it was easier to help me ease into kpop
YESSS.. please react more to WAYV, they're so good !!
Here I am showing up late with a response but I'm thrilled you did get to some WayV. They are definitely severely underappreciated. Turn Back Time is definitely one I think you'd like a lot. I also really love Bad Alive and Moonwalk (though the latter is definitely a softer song of theirs but I always just really liked the raps in it).
The guy in the crop top is Ten, and is probably one of the best male dancers in the industry. He's got quite a few solo songs and they're mostly quite poppy but all quite fantastic. He did a duo song called "Low Low" with Yangyang, one of the rappers of WayV and it's like polar opposite vibes from this but such an ear worm and I can't even guess how many times I have listened to it. He's also in SuperM along with SM's two other legendary dancers, Kai from EXO and Taemin from SHINee. It's honestly kind of amazing getting to see them all preform together.
Always enjoyed ur reaction! more WayV pls!
WayV is just different. I think you would love Take Off, Turn back time, and moonwalk.
you really should do Love Talk by WayV. That songs has a insane english version, too! i guess you'll like it
I love WayV so much🥹🫶🏻 thank you for reacting Teddy, I hope one day to see you reacting to some Seventeen💎 my ultimate favorite boy group 🫶🏻💎
Way V so unique, you will enjoy variety, check Xiaojun Ashes on live Leemujin show
loved your reaction btw, I got all of the sensation you were feeling 😂😂😂
WAYV LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO§ I can't believe you're reacting to my boys. It was unexpected!
Yes Wayv is top tier and you should watch more of their mv you won't be disappointed.
I really like NCT and all their subunits. WayV may not have the NCT in the name but you can still feel their vibes. Its also cool that they sing in Chinese.
WayV has some dope songs, but so does NCT as a whole. I am just thinking which songs would suit your taste though.
The label is called SM Entertainment but they have a thing called SM Town, from my understanding it is a name when all groups and artists come together and have concerts together. I guess it is similar to what JYP has... there its called JYP Nation.
If you want, WayV makes songs also in english, so there’s a english version of Phantom.
So glad you liked them they’re my favourite unit! Yangyang (white hair, rapper) and Xiaojun (grey hair, vocal legend) are my favourite members as well and it’s nice to see them get paid their dues😭😭. Would love to see a deep dive into the POTO lore as well as an full album reaction the rest of the album is just as good if not better than the title track😌😌
omg!! Stray Kids Ateez and WayV are my three ultimate fav boy groups and you’re reacting to all three 😭😭

Ten is the one doing body rolls ck out his song Birthday it's amazing
We love wayv!!
the only subunit of NCT that makes bop after bop,
strongest discography in CPOP/KPOP, they could take over as the top group if they were promoted by their company,
YangYang, the rapper you liked, has a full Hip-hop song together with Mark and Taeyong from NCT127 called „New Axis“
I.m so glad you are reacting to asian music, kpop included, cause i have no idea where to start... skz got me through reels :)) and since then i tried to find more music I enjoy but a lot are not my style unfortunately but through this channel i trust i will discover the music with you, Teddy, cause your followers know what you like 😎

Have you ever heard of the new group ENHYPEN ? I would love you to react to their song 'Future perfect (pass the mic)'. Btw i really appreciate your channel!
Teddy, pleased react to SMTOWN WINTER ALBUM "JET" It's 🔥🔥
🚨 hi Teddy, I really like watching your reaction videos especially Stray Kids, I like Stray Kids and NCT, I think NCT 127 has the same song genre as Stray Kids, namely "noisy songs" which makes me like it... I hope you can make video reaction to another song from NCT 127, for information NCT uses the "Neo SMP" genre and SMP is an abbreviation for "SM Music Performance" which was created by the SM Entertainment agency itself to differentiate the quality and genre from songs from other agencies, and NCT is indeed famous for the songs have been "experimental" since they debuted... I highly recommend you make a reaction video to songs from NCT 127 namely Fire Truck, Limitless, Cherry Bomb, Chain, Superhuman, Kick It, Sticker (I really recommend this song)... also NCT has several units in it, me too highly recommend the songs NCT U-Boss, NCT U-Baby Don't Stop, NCT U-Make A Wish, NCT U-Misfit, NCT U-Raise The Roof, NCT U-90's Love, NCT U-Let's Play Ball... a little information about NCT U, there is a sub unit from a combination of several members of NCT 127, NCT Dream, and WayV (WayV is included in the NCT group based on promotions in China), so NCT has 3 permanent groups, namely NCT 127, NCT Dream, and WayV
Reaction WAYV. BAD ALIVE. LOVE TALK.
teehee and now we get him sucked into the nct universe
Please react to NCT 127, Dream and NCT U 🙉
Think they have learned from Straykids, great vocals, great song.💜🇰🇷
?

...?
@@Niki91-HR agree ahhahah
that literally sounds like something an army would say about BTS
PLIS REACTION A SUPERM
if you want gry some other kpop fire groups try some of them with great rappers
B.A.P songs one shot or wake me up
BTOB song i'll be you're man the original song ( you already watch the SKZ cover
MONSTA X song hero rooftop version .
SVT leaders song CHEERS
Block B song very good .
can you react to P1harmony next? ty
I like the song, I do, and I think the members did an excellent job. However, I can’t help but miss Lucas… I feel like the mv would feel more complete if Lucas was there, I mean, it’s been over a year now :(
Not gonna lie...I really miss Lucas. However, this comeback was pure FIRE!!
NCT concept is too much for me to follow and the songs I heard aren't that much on my taste so I didn't try hard ^^"" ... but this one was nice, I loved the deep voices, the choreo and it's actually catchy. I'm glad I discovered it with you.
