I mean fandoms are scary... though I’d say fandoms like ask and Henry’s are a bit chill since most of the, aren’t those lousy 10 year olds who only care about their faves :)
Sometimes it's hard for people to remember that these two "guys that fool around" are actual professional musicians, that are talented at what they do after years and years of practice. They have every right to point out mistakes to help out a fellow violinist, even if the violinist is not a professional one.
True, Henry is good as an idol and has many "talents", but his violin skills are sometimes too overrated. Then again, he doesn't have time to practice so that makes sense and he clearly tells people he isn't as good as they think he is.
Yup. Henry has said many times that he just knows a little bit of everything. And he has PTSD about practicing classical violin pieces. I am a fan of his but I do wish that some of his fans wouldn't hype up his violin skills to such an unreasonable level. I'm pretty sure Henry doesn't care when ppl think that his violin playing is not at a professional level. He's so much more than that.
He never claimed himself to be a prodigy it's korean media who made him looks this way. He was and he still very humble considering the fact that he is still very good at every instrument that he play. Just looking at his channel content prouves it. I am sure that If he saw or watch this video one day he would not Feel offended since it's not the point 😊
I think people praise his violin skills too much only because he is multitalented and violin is one of his many talents. If you only judge his violin skills, it's good but not to the level at which people are praising him, but under the circumstances where you know this dude can do many other things besides violin yet he is still this good, you rate his skill level higher than if you just take this skill out and rate it independently. It's hard to explain but I hope that's clear enough.
@@isagi93315 That's true! Most fans praise his violin skills because of him being an idol having many other talents as well. Alone, like TwoSet has specified, his violin playing isn't that amazing like how media portrays if you were to judge that individually, but looking at the bigger picture, Henry keeping up with so many talents at a time is what's amazing and praise-worthy.
Tip: if you want to watch a twoset video but you want more time to practice, put the video at 2x speed. If you can watch the video slowly, you can watch it quickly.
@@arceyl.3441 yeah.... but i want to know exactly why.... from people that afraid kpop artist cuz i dont know exactly why other than kpopers just talking trash. Many people around me especially men are hate the whole kpop
@S S Kpop fans are known to be at times aggressive and due to the size, the reputational damage maybe more than dissing other idol or artists. Some extremists would even stalk and send death threats on people who criticize their idol. And at least they know recorder and bass players aren't toxic and constantly defensive. Davie503 is clearly a joke and is actually collaborating with twoset to attract more audience. Good for both channels.
What I like the best about this channel is that I have never picked up a violin in my life but I'm still entertained and genuinely learning things about how violin is played.
As an E.L.F and Henry fan, I am very delighted that you guys actually made constructive criticism on his performances. He's not a full time violin player or a professional and it's a known fact that kmedia loves to sugarcoat performances. But he's a decent player nonetheless and I feel like this was a pretty useful video.
i dont know a lot about henry or super juinor but i was today years old when i figured out he used to be in suju. like how did i not connect those two dots ?
@@trucampbell3070 he was in the song Swing with the Korean branch tho lol, he got like 4 lines and did rap sorta. He is also a classical music graduate, but he himself doesn't claim to be good, he deadass says that he does a lot and isn't an expert at anything lol, the only time he plays instruments fully is to produce his music but never to perform or perfect said instrument (he said this in the korean Englishman interview). I love love love Brett and Eddie and I love how clear they were lol, so that everyone is on the same page : Henry isn't an exceptional classical violinist, cause he doesn't practice that anymore lol
south korean media calls him a musical genius because he is one, he knows how to play most instruments, he's great at violin and excellent at piano, he composes, he writes, he produces, he acts, he sings and he dances, he just loves the violin and he's said multiple times because he loves all he does he hasn't had time to devote fully to violin in a while, let him be happy. he went to berklee on a full scholarship, he's a genius point blank and period.
cause nothing can end your career as fast as a shitload of toxic and childish KPop fanatics wanna defend their idols, obviously not every Kpop fan just a very small minority, but one wrong word slipped out and suddenly you're canceled, that's how stupid this internet culture is.
Sakuya Kiku It’s like you roast their favorite celebrity or dislike their music and suddenly they treat you as if you’ve committed murder. Well I’m sorry I never caught onto liking any of the song by BTS, I like the cheesy late 90s/early 00s Kpop😂
ayu zahra , I’m sorry, but if you’ve seen Twoset’s other reaction videos.. you’d see that they were holding back a lot in this video. And I’m not trying to offend you or anyone else but it’s mostly because of K-Pop’s famously known immature fans that can’t listen to the fact that they ( Twoset ) are professionals that knows how violin actually work. ( if someone’s gonna attack me can everyone else please help, I’m scared and I’m gonna run now bye- )
You're right about his background. He won gold at Canadian Royal Conservatory of Music in composing, and in violin too, and silver in piano. I saw a clip ages ago where he was being interviewed about it and they said they thought he was a good violin player who could do well and asked why he didn't focus on it. His reply was that he would have to give up singing, dancing, composing and piano if he focused on violin and he loved them too much so he chose to focus on singing as he could do all of those things as a singer. Then he was chosen in a global audition and went to South Korea and became a kpop idol in Super Junior (2008) and a few years later started his solo career.
Yeah he beat my sister at the CMC competition way back then hahaha. I remember telling him my mom that he was giving up violin and going to become an idol in Korea. We were all shocked because of how good he was at violin, to give it up to become a singer? lol. Worked out well for him though.
then he chose to quit violin first and became an SM idol later...thats fight or flight anxiety response. Henry needs love therapy for his inner child who he thought to be abandoned.... he is flying all around the world but he has to meet his child in his hurt mind.
as a kpop fan, it makes me so sad to see that they had to spend so much time trying to make sure they don't get slammed by kpop fans, i'm sorry that so many of us are so immature that you have to go to that extent to protect yourselves, i know a lot of us are really immature and it comes off as crazy and scary, but not all of us are like that :( but hey i guess that's what the stereotype for kpop fans is now
But its true that henry's fanbase is bigger..but i dont think his fan will bash..we r quite chill..same like henry..hahaha..i also know twoset from henry's violin videos..i saw some fans ask twoset to review..
The problem with TwoSet is, they are trying to discredit Henry just by simply choosing some performance he did in variety show before. I am not sure about any of the video they chose either being edited/dub or not by the specific show, but Henry did play around this level, there are plenty of live and concert available, they just chose to ignore it all by highlighting some of his performance in variety show which he doesn't has any power to do with how their editing is. TwoSet seem like someone that think of themselves better than anyone else that did not has the title of "professional" because they are professional. Henry did has level 10 in both violin and piano before he stopped the professional training and go for idol. And bare in mind, just because he stop training in school, doesn't mean he stop using and practicing such instruments, he used them a lot actually, he is sharpening his skills informally little by little. Selected some past performance in variety show trying to discredit someone is stupid especially he can't even control what the producer do with the editing. As far as I know, probably some of the video here has flaw when he is performing, and the editor just decided to edit it to make it perfect. So he is more like, actually doing it for real but has flaw, only edited by editors to make it perfect, instead of using pre-recorded. For who is interested, he route completely change and move away from being too "entertainer" to focus on his music after he quit SM. SM totally screw him over on his career, the show he join after he out from SM, Begin Again, feel free to check it out, awesome show and he clearly improve a lot throughout seasons, especially his singing skill. There is also some fancam available proving their performance is the same with what being show. And you also can see how his performance change after leave SM, he used to do a lot and focus more on dramatic dance when playing violin to playing it seriously without such dramatically. You also can check all his live performances in China from 2019 and on wards.
@@TheExtraterrestrial99 don't know what some of you crazy k-pop fanatics see, but this is a video made to give CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM. their fans ASKED for this. there is nothing wrong with giving constructive criticism. and how can you say they're trying to "discredit" Henry when they're repeatedly saying that he's really good for a pop artist EVERY 2 SECONDS? I'm not saying Henry sucks, but he's somewhere above the standard spectrum of average violinists but certainly not professional. no wonder people hate k-pop fans. a significant enough amount of y'all are pretty stupid and over-sensitive.
@@lucticide Just watch what they are trying to say in the video, together with the Title and thumbnail of this video and you will know what direction they guide people into. By the way, I am not a kpop fans, in fact, I hate kpop...I prefer rock music....LOL I aware of Henry for a long time but not a fan, for me, he always just someone who good at violin but try to sing. Not until I saw him in Begin Again(especially team Lena Park aka Family Band), it is an amazing show, there is where true musicians are, not those kpop. EDIT: Henry Lau is a musician, not a professional violinist. His core is on singing, know the different. He is someone that sing and good in music instruments especially violin, that what make him amazing. Try find me a pro-violinist that good in singing, it is very rare. Korean didn't glorified him as violinist, they praised him for his musical talents and instruments. Also, you find kpop fans oversensitive because haters and fans of others like to use this kind of things to attack one another, creating war. This is the atmosphere that I don't like in idols industries.
Idk if there are a lot of hardcore Henry fans. I know there are a lot of super hardcore fans for big bands like bts and exo and nct but probably not as much fans for Henry
The clip is made into a playback screen twice. In the second time, the bowstrings and chords that Henry actually plays will of course not match the music. Originally on the TV station is a normal splicing, but the reviewer ignores this and makes misleading to watch the film's expressions and words, even using "Fake violin" as the film name!
I'm so thankful you said Koreaboo mafia bc umm,, I as a kpop fan and a classical musician know well enough that there is a part of the fandom that is well educated and cannot only take criticism on their idols, but also criticizes their idols themselves.
@@callmykoe True. I also am a kpop and classical music fan. I don't get to the point of trying to kill anybody who disses my favourite idols or musicians. I just don't give a damn about what they say. It's their opinion anyways. And I also criticize my own favourite artists. Good point. Some of the fans are just immature and can´t take criticism towards their idols because for them, they are perfect, whilst it doesn't. Preach sis.
This is a film edited by the TV station. The actual content of the live shooting of the fans is different from this one. So the chords on TV are different from the rhythm! Please watch the real live video. It is very inappropriate to use "Fake".
They're professional violinists ,it would be dumb to get mad lol .. yes Henry is talented in many aspects and i love him as an idol but when a professional critiques him on something why would i even be mad lol
"Hate and criticism are different things" --- you put it so clear. Oh, man! The world would easier if people understood this difference. The fans reaction says a lot about they being fan(atic)s and Henry being called an idol, a kind of god --- and no one should dare criticizing gods.
You are so kind with your comments. He was clearly out of tune from the first note. What I don’t understand is how people who diss classical music regularly as boring, suddenly find it so amazingly exciting when it is played by a pop start.
I can understand this. Because they see the handsome visuals, the lavish sets with glitzy lighting effects, they see the dramatic expressions on the performer's face, the moves etc. And also because the pieces chosen are of course the most popular and exciting, with the "boring" parts cut off. Everything contributes to make it palatable and enjoyable even to those who don't like or who are neutral towards classical music. They have to, because TV audience is very diverse, and you have to make most of them happy so that they don't turn it off and change channel. And I don't think it's a bad thing, because a portion of this audience - maybe a tiny minority, but that's still good - might think of listening to more classical pieces and slowly-slowly get sucked in and develop an interest in this music. Why not? It's the same with that Western cello player, Stjepan Hauser, who is insanely handsome and female audiences swoon. It's okay. They look at him and listen at the music at the same time, and associate the pleasure with the music.
when he was younger he practiced violin every single day crying for five hours, he wanted to be a violinist, he couldn't play with his friends, he never went to parties, he never dated, when he found kpop and realized he could do music without having to traumatize himself further everyday he fell in love with it, he now composes, produces, writes, sings and dances whilst playing tons of instruments he loves including the violin the way he wants, and that makes me happy. south korean media calls him a musical genius because he is one, he knows how to play most instruments, he's great at violin and excellent at piano, he composes, he writes, he produces, he acts, he sings and he dances, he just loves the violin and he's said multiple times because he loves all he does he hasn't had time to devote fully to violin in a while, let him be happy. he went to berklee on a full scholarship, he's a genius point blank and period. he used to be a traumatized prodigy now he's a happy musician. do as much as henry does then call him just a pop star again.
so he didnt wanna practice so he became an idol? look playing an insturment isnt for everyone you need to play it your whole life for atleast five hours if you cry that means you dont like your insturment and you should find an insturment you actually fall in love with.@@gingeryoongisupremacy7826
Henry lau fan here, to all the fanbase reading this: THIS IS CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM! THEY DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING BAD THEY JUST GAVE ADVICE POLITLY!! PLEASE REFRAIN FROM ATTACKING Thanks
They're not lying, but the number of people posting said comments do sound like Henry has them at gun point and if they don't say he's chill then he'll murder their entire family on front of them lmao
before anyone starts sending hate towards Eddy & Brett please remember that their comments can be taken as constructive criticism instead of destructive. they're not harming him in any way just simply stating what he could work on.
For someone who watches a lot of Korean media I was surprised how long it took you to realize that the sound is pretaken. They do this literally almost every time with every artist without permission. And they do it regardless if the artist is good or bad. Even most of the fans prefer fancams than the original footage. Most of them is better than the original footage, for réal. But yeah Is just what Korean editores mostly do, it isn't what most of the public wants, 'in my perspective', but is what they do mostly
Also I gotta add that most of the times they let them perfom with real sound while performing and then edit the video. But sometimes they're super disrespectful and put they're mics off while they're performing on stage with the prerecorded music. Some artist even realize they're mic is off while being on stage and shout out "please turn it on". If they complain enough, they actually get their mics on
probably because they perform live all the time, and their video records our not edited in post-production. you're an avid watcher of Korean media, they are not - and that's the difference why it took them longer to realize it's edited.
This is so not the same thing as Sulli’s situation. People were cruel to her. It was straight up bullying. In this case, they’re pointing things out they noticed from the viewpoint of classical musicians.
let’s not forget these 2 have been practicing the Violin for around *10* - *20* years (I believe), this isn’t just a hobby of theirs this is something they love, so trust me when I say they know what they’re talking about, and for those saying they’re being rude I never once saw them being rude they in fact are holding back, we all know they are more expressive then this they actually keep making excuses for him like “well he’s an idol.” Or “the editor may have made it out of sync” So please stop saying they’re being rude or not giving feed back, this video was made because fans wanted it to be made it had not bad intent. They are giving mild constructive criticism or telling us what he did wrong.
lmaooo anyone realize they were wearing black suit like they know they’re going to their own funeral??? i feel bad they have to feel uncomfortable reviewing henry’s skill bcs of some kpop fans maniac
@@iann_exe when they are THIS uncomfortable critiquing a human being BECAUSE of some fanbase (and from pure experience kpop has some of the WORST fanbases and extremests) they can be safely called maniacs. Not all but a good majority aren't very respectable.
He's a male Vanessa Mae. He has his target audience. I don't think anyone considers him a virtuoso. From a classical perspective, he is kind of funny. From an idol perspective, he is kind of funny. He's a violin player! Good on him for creating a big fan base though.
It's refreshing to see an actual critique that's not about shitting on another artist, and you guys had really strong points. thank you for such a respectful review of his work
@@flora1743 I don't know actually. I heard that kpop lovers get mad at you if you speak against henry. I thought you were a kpop lover so I thought I would check for myself. I don't know who henry is.
@@kkb2687 I do love kpop, and I would defend my favourites if somebody wrote malicious things about them. But there's a way to do it by educating and not with fighting. 🤗 Also, please don't "test" people like this, it's really not nice, and I feel more offended by this than your previous comment. Also, some fans might not be this nice, since we had to listen to a lot of slander already just because we liked something that is/was not too common before. 🙂 Hope you'll understand our point of view, too. 🤗
As a fan of henry i admit that at first i was so amazed of him playing violin. I didn't find this video offending but rather an eye opener and an educational one. As a person who don't know anything about violin, you made your explanations understandable for people like me. At some time when i listen to henry playing violin i thought that some part or notes were kinda awkward to hear i guess? And it turns out that it was actuallyb out of tune. Thank you for explaining things thoroughly.
this is so true!! i'm not exactly a fan of henry but i really couldn't tell the difference between professional and amateur violin-playing, this really opened my eyes basically
@@toiletjunpaper Just because he studied at Berklee doesn't automatically make him more talented than other people. Not to mention, he went to Berklee to study music production, not the violin. In contrast, Brett graduated with honors from the Queensland Conservatorium and Eddie was actually the concertmaster for the Queensland Conservatorium for a while. So they've been playing professionally for years, and been part of multiple different orchestras. Now I'm not saying Henry Lau isn't talented, because he clearly is talented at many different things. But you can't honestly say he's more talented than two actual *professional* violinists.
@@toiletjunpaper I know Brett was part of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, and both him and Eddy were part of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and the Queensland Symphony Orchestra. Are those not respectable enough orchestras to be considered "professional"? I don't follow Henry too closely so I've never seen his Zigeunerweisen, but I can respect that as being a valid reason to believe he's more talented at the violin. It's just that saying "He went to Berklee", as evidence of someone being more musically talented than another, really irked me for some reason. Especially since I had read he went there to study music production.
Violin is what made Henry stood out in Korea. He learned the violin that's for sure but wasnt at a orchestra level. The smooth criminal sounded something off for me was what made me watch this video. I believe he himself knew it didn't sound right but it was a performance, you have to finish it regardless. And yes, like someone mentioned. There are alot of exaggerating or fake reactions you can find in Korean shows.
You will find fake reactions in ANY show, regardless of country. It's why I stopped watching television. I couldn't deal with the cringy bad acting by professional judges, obviously paid handsomely but they couldn't act to save their careers. OOOOOOOH MY GOOOOOOD ITS AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZING
Twoset “we’re not a roasting channel” Twoset community “let them burn, they are nothing but violas!” Umm what! 2k upvotes, you guys need to go practice!
Jayvee Aurea I cant tell if this was actually made as if you think they are being mean to violas. You clearly haven’t been in the twoset community for a long time😂😂😂😂
@@jayveeaurea9091 oh look. Welcome newbie to the twoset community where we create our own jargon. Ps: sorry if i use the word jargon wrong. Please be gentle
As a K-pop fan and a fan of twoset, it was kind of sad because they were so careful with their words in comparison to other videos. They don't want his fans to strike them because fans striking can and will ruin alot of things (speaking from experience before I became a K-pop fan) The video wasn't a roast, it was constructive criticism.
i mean you cant blame them. the fandom is more critical and dangerous than any satan. and im sorry to say this but its a fact that the fandom is so scary.
Why scared by those fanatic humans ? I'm so stuffed by the amount of fears coming out from these "fans" or stalker in my opinion, like why ? I love KPop but the over affection the fanbase pouring is the turn down for me
It should have been a roast though, it’s what they usually do and it’s hilarious. It’s entertainment, and it’s ridiculous that there is potential for a bunch of ravenous fans to get a video taken down by just joking around like they do. They’re obviously not assholes ever. It’s always in good fun. But a huge majority of people can’t handle even the smallest amount of joshing around. No one should be above anyone else in that area. Orrrrr maybe I’m just an asshole... that could be too
@@frayar One of their members tweeted out asking them to go listen to Aimer and now they're like "omg bts so good making unknown singer famous!!!". Meanwhile im here like:.....ive been here since Bleach bruh
10% critical 90% "but he is OK", "he is not as bad as the other idols", "maybe this is fake BUT we don't know", "but", "but"... "please don't kill us" *trying to stop the kpop fans before they even write a comment on the video* I think I laugh more because of the way they critic the video than because of the critical itself
@Happy Yo "How many people do you know who can sing, act, produce music, play the violin & piano amongst other instruments[...]" Im not hating, but have you ever heard of Jack Conte? I mean as far as i know he doesn´t do the viola or dancing but pretty much everything else xD
I feel like the softness of the critique made it even more biting. Anybody can criticise harshly, but giving so much benefit of the doubt and credit where credit is due feels more of an effective roast. Or, I guess, I light grill rather than a roast. If you can critique kindly, you can critique harshly.
@Odoreater I think they only critiqued the violin playing because they are violinists themselves. They probably felt they didn't have enough knowledge about the other stuff to properly give constructive criticism. They're not trying to be unfair.
I think he couldn't have enough practice for classical violin after he debuted as a kpop idol. But he is getting much better now.I hope you can check his new performances.
I agree with you. Even after Henry left the Kpop industry, he says that he started everything from zero again. So basically I want to know TwoSet opinions about Henry's new performance. Is Henry still making the same mistake or he's better now? I hope TwoSet would to check his new performance too. And I will really appreciate it if TwoSet as professional violinist would to check it. With luv ❤️
Ppl shouldn’t hate this video because of what they’re saying as in: “I hate this video because Twoset is hating.” Brett and Eddy backed all of their arguments up with facts and evidence, thus making what they’re saying a good argument. It is their opinion and so, no one should be criticizing them. It’s not hate, it’s a critic of the performances - it’s an opinion they are free to share with absolutely no repercussions.
As an Army-Elf who doesn't "stan" henry ( I know him bcs of sj's past but never get into him as a soloist ) but like him bcs well he has the capabilities to become better - am very disappointed in some of the stan reaction to this 🥺
I agree with everything you said , but an opinion doesn't mean you get a free pass to shit talk on someone . In which many people abused the " This is my opinion " bullshit . Anyone with an opinion regarding facts should provide facts like Brett & Eddy did in the video . If some people are triggered because of it , that just means they're lacking in brain cells to accept the truth .
its like watching two unknown violin teachers teaching a rich student with lots of connections and power and being scared shitless of saying the wrong thing.
@Odoreater they said they recognize henry as an artist but the video is only about how he play the violin at this certain show and they were very fair and even used polite words. They were very respectful too.
@Odoreater does this pianist have a good skill? Two violinist with surface knowledge discuss. They are going to choose the instruments they know about so they don't misinform people
@Odoreater plus, they are trying to give advice, they are ,naturally, going to choose the mistakes not the good ones like, what did you sincerely expect? "Wow, perfect, enlightening, show stoping, never the same, I wish I could"
TwoSetViolin: This video could be the end of us! Criticizing an insanely talented violinist! How presumptuous of us. 80% of your subscribers: Oh, don’t worry about that we actually didn’t who this guy even was before ya guys made this video and we also don’t even play violin. We just love you guys and your content.
The most polite roast ever.... as they need 24 minutes to explain everything in a politically correct way. Thank you for keeping your promise. ( It's the editor doing the roasting this time. The big "NO" at 10:39 cracked me up.) May Ling Ling Insurance protect you.
lots of people are complaining that 2set didn't go full out in this video, not understanding how a huge fanbase like this one could literally eliminate their careers
Just realized...at 15:25 Henry’s editors inserted “our ace” and “he plays well” as the orchestra members’ reactions to his playing.....but their faces were actually like “bro you’re out of tune and inaccurate wth”......watch it...see what creative editing can do!
I agree 100%. I didn't notice the subtitles until Brett and Eddie pointed them out, and when I saw the musicians' faces my first though was that they were hating it.
Honestly, I don’t think anybody should hate you guys for trying to correct Henry’s mistakes, cuz that’s what a lot of violinists or musicians do to other people when they make mistakes while performing. You’re definitely not being rude. This is a very good, and informative video that could or maybe even help Henry to play the violin better.
ITS ALSO NOT OKAY TO USE OTHER PEOPLE MISTAKE TO MAKE MONEY. ITS SELFISH AND TAKING ADVANTAGE SS WELL. THE WAY THEY FIND OTHER PEOPLE MISTAKE AND MAKE A VIDEO FOR MONEY, DONT SEEMS OK ANYWAY.
AdN that’s not it dude. They r criticizing what that person could’ve done better. All they do is roast them and put jokes into it so ppl could laugh. We all know we wouldn’t be watching this if it wasn’t funny.
@@adn8695 bro its not that deep theyre just reviewing his playing,, theyre not even being offensive and its part of their job as youtubers ? they can do whatever they want on their channel and theres not a single problem with this
@@adn8695 hay. They didnt ask for it!😂 look at all the comments under henry's violin videos. Comments with high likes are people saying twoset to react to him.😂 and they dont usually look like this. They r so cool & funny. Here they look so serious. They HAD to do it! And its not roasting, its revealing
Love these guys❤️As a violinist I find their critiques of solo performers astute and very helpful. Eddy and Brett not only observe the errors in performances but also demonstrate correct technique, just like a good violin teacher would do during lessons, ( like my own violin teacher, Anya 🥰). Their observations help make me more self-aware and self-critical during my own practice sessions.
for those of you asking twoset to apologise, they shouldnt (even though they kept apologising in the video itself, obviously you didnt watch it) twoset saying henry might dub some of his performances =/= twoset saying henry does not have talent and fakes his violin skills because if it's dubbed then he still plays the music himself
As a kpop fan i can say i loved the part where he literally said "Fu+k it" and started saying the truth. Also don't worry the ling ling insurance will work against koreaboos and remember to keep practicing XD Love y'all
It's a little bit annoying that people in the comments are just talking about how TwoSet is afraid of kpop fandom and had to filter out so much of their roasts. I really don't think so! They said what they said because it's true. Brett & Eddy ain't lying to us. They gave us an honest review of what's happening in Henry's performances and didn't hold back DESPITE the fandom scare. They were impressed that Henry is actually good even though he's an idol and they pointed out what seems to be technical flaws. *It's a fair criticism.* It's simply them recognizing that Henry isn't a violin professional. *Copying my other comment: Unlike that people TwoSet ACTUALLY roasted, Henry isn't posing himself as "the best violinist in the world" (ehem Guinness attempters). Henry is a non-professional violinist. Outside of violin playing, he has a thousand more talents/skills including singing, dancing, playing the piano, songwriting/composing, acting, being able to speak in at least four languages, etc. //TwoSet isn't the enemy of Henry Lau or of kpop. ///The truth is, I would be more annoyed at people who always flex about their violin skills as if they're top-tier when they can't even do proper phrasing.
The problem with TwoSet is, they are trying to discredit Henry just by simply choosing some performance he did in variety show before.

And you also can see how his performance change after leave SM, he used to do a lot and focus more on dramatic dance when playing violin to playing it seriously without such dramatically. You also can check all his live performances in China from 2019 and on wards.
@@TheExtraterrestrial99 I'm quite sure they weren't cherry-picking, because that Michael Jackson performance is the first result that comes up when you search "Henry Lau violin", and the 7 rings performance was pretty recent. I also watched one of those live performances and another more recent performance, but none of them are impressive from a classical standpoint. Twoset definitely are better than he is at classical violin, not because of their "title," but because of their skill. They are judging his playing based on skill, not performance. They are also criticizing these particular clips exclusively, as they say, and mostly dislike the reactions. Twoset are definitely not hating on Lau in any way.
@@archelynwolf Well, the first result I got is his Despacito. And nope, they are also judging the performance and that's the problem. The whole pre-recorded, edited blablabla, is all about performance(9:55 - 12:00). If it is about skill, they will just point out he missed this while doing the dance, there was flaw and whatsoever. But they went directly into this is pre-recorded, no way he can do this and more , even worst by putting their title ".....Reveals Fake Violin Secret" And for reaction part, it is just normal for Korean variety show. They separated celebrity skill to such as acting skill, singing skill, hosting and variety skill. Ya, there are variety skill in their entertainment industry, even has yearly award ceremony special for variety department too instead of just for acting or music. This is why their variety show more success than the other countries. And this is where I didn't understand, those are not all singer and they definitely don't know violin, so why the need to highlighted the reaction if not just to make it look like they are boasting Henry? And some secret tips, Korean editors for every show, they like to cut out the reaction and put it into where they think fix it, so, the reaction shown actually are not always a reaction to that specific moment.
I think they take it themself and submit the vids to editor..u can see in every vids that brett himself cutting the vids..if the editor were with them, i thik the third person will naturally the one who cuts the vids..and i saw the ads for hiring an editor sometimes back..
As a fan of Henry, I'd just like to say don't stress about giving him criticism. He's a grown man and a professional so i doubt he'd be offended and his fans should be mature enough to understand that you're not giving him hate but constructive critisism. I apologise for the fans that behaved immaturely. I know I'm part of the kpop fanbase but sometimes fans can be toxic. Dont let it get to you, you're professional violinists and are in a position to be able to give criticism in the first place.
i love henry and i love how you guys reacted to henry playing violin and pointed out his mistakes. From the very first time when he played i knew that he was not a very good violinist but i was amazed by the fact that a kpop idol knows how to play instruments because all i had seen was kpop idols singing or dancing. I hope henry sees this video and become a good musician like you guys!
Hmm, I know this is a late response but I learned through research that Henry gave up classical music and the violin/piano after choosing Kpop. He actually won or got second place in violin and piano competitions before becoming an idol. I am not really what you call a fan but I researched his background when I saw him play piano, violin, and drums. He is out of practice now because of his choice but he could have been a professional violinist/pianist like these two guys had he not chosen Kpop to his parents' dismay. And Henry prefers to compose music which he has done as a Kpop artist. I saw his nice videos with that Korean female child violin prodigy (the toddler that astounded these two professionals) and those videos showed me that Henry is a good musician but he even admitted he has not practiced for years.
Henry said it by himself that he can play many instrument but he is not good at it. People always say that he is a genius in music but he will always that he is not.
I'm a fan of Henry and as a fan I'm very open watching videos like this. Criticisms are important in giving a room for improvement, after all no one's perfect.
nobody with their right mind would attack twoset in this video, so it's just a great content plus it's interesting to see if there's anybody who got offended by this. lol
Y'all triggered Henry Lau's fans, This is a *Constructive Criticism* it's clearly acceptable. Them as A professional violinist, they learned violin for Years. They know more About Violin than you do
funny thing is im sure they have been playing violin longer than most of these fans have been alive, 20+ years of violin. If anybody is going to talk about this subject they have the accolades and criteria to do so.
Guess what, I saw a toxic Henry fan in the comment section saying Brett and eddy are not professional violinist Lmao 🤣 And saying because Henry went to Berkeley, he is more musically talented than two set, and the fan has the title of doctor, tbh, if a toxic fan can become a doctor( doctors require subjective mind) the patients are having a high death rate then
i really wish for TwoSet and Henry to collab or do a video. i'm sure henry would love it since he is very open into working with other musicians. plus the dynamic of these three would be very fun to watch :)
Father from Hong-Kong, mother from Taiwan, born in Canada, mostly active in China and South Korea... I can easily understand why people get confused ! 😅
Idk if it’s just me, but Henry’s face during some of his more painful performance moments clearly showed that he knew it wasn’t good. He looked so nervous in some of the ones with a live audience :’’’) I think that as someone who does violin as a side gig to spice up his idol image, he’s fine. Lol he plays a bit in the buzzfeed thirst tweets video, and I was like 🤔 but he’s not terrible, compared to your average person, or even to many mainstream “showy” violin performers. I think that he personally is humble and realistic about his violin playing. He can’t control the way that other people react to him, nor the way his company tries to sell his “genius” image. He can be entertaining, which is his main job, and he definitely tries to encourage people to pursue their dreams when it comes to music, so good on him. I liked this video! The insurance bit was quite funny
this is the most polite roasting in youtube history.
That's so true
Mhm
OATH
they were holding back
TrUE
Bruh this sounds like when your music teacher reaaaaaaaaally doesn’t want to destroy you after your competition...
So true!!!
I wholeheartedly agree with this comment. They did give that kind of impression in this video.
Yessssss.
I mean fandoms are scary... though I’d say fandoms like ask and Henry’s are a bit chill since most of the, aren’t those lousy 10 year olds who only care about their faves :)
Well, if the music teacher doesn't want to get killed by crazy kpop fans, then sure.
Sometimes it's hard for people to remember that these two "guys that fool around" are actual professional musicians, that are talented at what they do after years and years of practice. They have every right to point out mistakes to help out a fellow violinist, even if the violinist is not a professional one.
Damn right you are
Yesss
True dat
AzureTure you can find this same comment on every single video
They are not trying to help him. Even when help could be a result, they did it just because of the likes thing.
True, Henry is good as an idol and has many "talents", but his violin skills are sometimes too overrated. Then again, he doesn't have time to practice so that makes sense and he clearly tells people he isn't as good as they think he is.
Good point
Yup. Henry has said many times that he just knows a little bit of everything. And he has PTSD about practicing classical violin pieces. I am a fan of his but I do wish that some of his fans wouldn't hype up his violin skills to such an unreasonable level. I'm pretty sure Henry doesn't care when ppl think that his violin playing is not at a professional level. He's so much more than that.
He never claimed himself to be a prodigy it's korean media who made him looks this way. He was and he still very humble considering the fact that he is still very good at every instrument that he play. Just looking at his channel content prouves it.
I am sure that If he saw or watch this video one day he would not Feel offended since it's not the point 😊
I think people praise his violin skills too much only because he is multitalented and violin is one of his many talents. If you only judge his violin skills, it's good but not to the level at which people are praising him, but under the circumstances where you know this dude can do many other things besides violin yet he is still this good, you rate his skill level higher than if you just take this skill out and rate it independently. It's hard to explain but I hope that's clear enough.
@@isagi93315 That's true! Most fans praise his violin skills because of him being an idol having many other talents as well. Alone, like TwoSet has specified, his violin playing isn't that amazing like how media portrays if you were to judge that individually, but looking at the bigger picture, Henry keeping up with so many talents at a time is what's amazing and praise-worthy.
Tip: if you want to watch a twoset video but you want more time to practice, put the video at 2x speed. If you can watch the video slowly, you can watch it quickly.

@S S Kpop fans are known to be at times aggressive and due to the size, the reputational damage maybe more than dissing other idol or artists. Some extremists would even stalk and send death threats on people who criticize their idol.

Indeed.
As an E.L.F and Henry fan, I am very delighted that you guys actually made constructive criticism on his performances. He's not a full time violin player or a professional and it's a known fact that kmedia loves to sugarcoat performances. But he's a decent player nonetheless and I feel like this was a pretty useful video.
i dont know a lot about henry or super juinor but i was today years old when i figured out he used to be in suju. like how did i not connect those two dots ?
@@trucampbell3070 😂😂😂 maybe cuz he was in the Chinese sub group and not the main one everyone's used to seeing. He's full of surprises, isn't he?
@@trucampbell3070 he was in the song Swing with the Korean branch tho lol, he got like 4 lines and did rap sorta. He is also a classical music graduate, but he himself doesn't claim to be good, he deadass says that he does a lot and isn't an expert at anything lol, the only time he plays instruments fully is to produce his music but never to perform or perfect said instrument (he said this in the korean Englishman interview). I love love love Brett and Eddie and I love how clear they were lol, so that everyone is on the same page : Henry isn't an exceptional classical violinist, cause he doesn't practice that anymore lol
Yep coz it's Chinesse and needs to be defended regardless if it's true or not.
south korean media calls him a musical genius because he is one, he knows how to play most instruments, he's great at violin and excellent at piano, he composes, he writes, he produces, he acts, he sings and he dances, he just loves the violin and he's said multiple times because he loves all he does he hasn't had time to devote fully to violin in a while, let him be happy.
he went to berklee on a full scholarship, he's a genius point blank and period.
i've never heard so disclaimers in their roast videos before. "idk" "so many factors" " could've been nervous" lol
Lol no kidding they look scared as hell. 😅😅
cause nothing can end your career as fast as a shitload of toxic and childish KPop fanatics wanna defend their idols, obviously not every Kpop fan just a very small minority, but one wrong word slipped out and suddenly you're canceled, that's how stupid this internet culture is.

@ayu zahra yes, he is. Now go and grow up, stupid fan.
ayu zahra , I’m sorry, but if you’ve seen Twoset’s other reaction videos.. you’d see that they were holding back a lot in this video. And I’m not trying to offend you or anyone else but it’s mostly because of K-Pop’s famously known immature fans that can’t listen to the fact that they ( Twoset ) are professionals that knows how violin actually work.
( if someone’s gonna attack me can everyone else please help, I’m scared and I’m gonna run now bye- )
My biggest surprise from this video is seeing the 24 minutes duration.
The intro is long. They have to set it clearly before going to the reaction
Same 😂😂
Ling Ling insurance need time.
Holy shit its true
I didn’t even realize it was that long
You're right about his background. He won gold at Canadian Royal Conservatory of Music in composing, and in violin too, and silver in piano. I saw a clip ages ago where he was being interviewed about it and they said they thought he was a good violin player who could do well and asked why he didn't focus on it. His reply was that he would have to give up singing, dancing, composing and piano if he focused on violin and he loved them too much so he chose to focus on singing as he could do all of those things as a singer. Then he was chosen in a global audition and went to South Korea and became a kpop idol in Super Junior (2008) and a few years later started his solo career.
He was a former Super Jr? Oh wow... what a swerve in career move!
@@asperneto he was in one of super junior sub unit that promoted in China mainly. It was super junior m
Yeah he beat my sister at the CMC competition way back then hahaha. I remember telling him my mom that he was giving up violin and going to become an idol in Korea. We were all shocked because of how good he was at violin, to give it up to become a singer? lol. Worked out well for him though.
then he chose to quit violin first and became an SM idol later...thats fight or flight anxiety response. Henry needs love therapy for his inner child who he thought to be abandoned.... he is flying all around the world but he has to meet his child in his hurt mind.
WHAT DA FUCK
SO MANY GOOD COMPOSERS CANT WIN A COMPETITION AND THIS DUDE WON IT? HE CANT EVEN PLAY CZARDAS
MODERN MUSIC IS FUCKED UP
as a kpop fan, it makes me so sad to see that they had to spend so much time trying to make sure they don't get slammed by kpop fans, i'm sorry that so many of us are so immature that you have to go to that extent to protect yourselves, i know a lot of us are really immature and it comes off as crazy and scary, but not all of us are like that :( but hey i guess that's what the stereotype for kpop fans is now
Natalie I agree, it takes effort not to wince when they have to apologize every time they criticize Henry

"Usually it's over glorified."
That sums up the majority of comments on K-Pop performances on UA-cam.
The problem with TwoSet is, they are trying to discredit Henry just by simply choosing some performance he did in variety show before. I am not sure about any of the video they chose either being edited/dub or not by the specific show, but Henry did play around this level, there are plenty of live and concert available, they just chose to ignore it all by highlighting some of his performance in variety show which he doesn't has any power to do with how their editing is.
TwoSet seem like someone that think of themselves better than anyone else that did not has the title of "professional" because they are professional. Henry did has level 10 in both violin and piano before he stopped the professional training and go for idol. And bare in mind, just because he stop training in school, doesn't mean he stop using and practicing such instruments, he used them a lot actually, he is sharpening his skills informally little by little.
Selected some past performance in variety show trying to discredit someone is stupid especially he can't even control what the producer do with the editing. As far as I know, probably some of the video here has flaw when he is performing, and the editor just decided to edit it to make it perfect. So he is more like, actually doing it for real but has flaw, only edited by editors to make it perfect, instead of using pre-recorded.
For who is interested, he route completely change and move away from being too "entertainer" to focus on his music after he quit SM. SM totally screw him over on his career, the show he join after he out from SM, Begin Again, feel free to check it out, awesome show and he clearly improve a lot throughout seasons, especially his singing skill. There is also some fancam available proving their performance is the same with what being show. And you also can see how his performance change after leave SM, he used to do a lot and focus more on dramatic dance when playing violin to playing it seriously without such dramatically.

I'm not saying Henry sucks, but he's somewhere above the standard spectrum of average violinists but certainly not professional. no wonder people hate k-pop fans. a significant enough amount of y'all are pretty stupid and over-sensitive.

I aware of Henry for a long time but not a fan, for me, he always just someone who good at violin but try to sing. Not until I saw him in Begin Again(especially team Lena Park aka Family Band), it is an amazing show, there is where true musicians are, not those kpop.
EDIT: Henry Lau is a musician, not a professional violinist. His core is on singing, know the different. He is someone that sing and good in music instruments especially violin, that what make him amazing. Try find me a pro-violinist that good in singing, it is very rare. Korean didn't glorified him as violinist, they praised him for his musical talents and instruments.
Also, you find kpop fans oversensitive because haters and fans of others like to use this kind of things to attack one another, creating war. This is the atmosphere that I don't like in idols industries.

They're professional violinists ,it would be dumb to get mad lol .. yes Henry is talented in many aspects and i love him as an idol but when a professional critiques him on something why would i even be mad lol
That's the problem with kpop also. The fans make me say fuck kpop
"Hate and criticism are different things" --- you put it so clear. Oh, man! The world would easier if people understood this difference. The fans reaction says a lot about they being fan(atic)s and Henry being called an idol, a kind of god --- and no one should dare criticizing gods.
Thing is, they won’t be fans if they know the difference.🔥
You are so kind with your comments. He was clearly out of tune from the first note. What I don’t understand is how people who diss classical music regularly as boring, suddenly find it so amazingly exciting when it is played by a pop start.
I can understand this. Because they see the handsome visuals, the lavish sets with glitzy lighting effects, they see the dramatic expressions on the performer's face, the moves etc. And also because the pieces chosen are of course the most popular and exciting, with the "boring" parts cut off. Everything contributes to make it palatable and enjoyable even to those who don't like or who are neutral towards classical music. They have to, because TV audience is very diverse, and you have to make most of them happy so that they don't turn it off and change channel.
And I don't think it's a bad thing, because a portion of this audience - maybe a tiny minority, but that's still good - might think of listening to more classical pieces and slowly-slowly get sucked in and develop an interest in this music. Why not?
It's the same with that Western cello player, Stjepan Hauser, who is insanely handsome and female audiences swoon. It's okay. They look at him and listen at the music at the same time, and associate the pleasure with the music.
Ikr
ppl say its boring when a pro plays it but when an idol that cant play
plays it they suddenly say its amazing and he wins a fucking competition?
when he was younger he practiced violin every single day crying for five hours, he wanted to be a violinist, he couldn't play with his friends, he never went to parties, he never dated, when he found kpop and realized he could do music without having to traumatize himself further everyday he fell in love with it, he now composes, produces, writes, sings and dances whilst playing tons of instruments he loves including the violin the way he wants, and that makes me happy.
south korean media calls him a musical genius because he is one, he knows how to play most instruments, he's great at violin and excellent at piano, he composes, he writes, he produces, he acts, he sings and he dances, he just loves the violin and he's said multiple times because he loves all he does he hasn't had time to devote fully to violin in a while, let him be happy.
he went to berklee on a full scholarship, he's a genius point blank and period. he used to be a traumatized prodigy now he's a happy musician. do as much as henry does then call him just a pop star again.
so he didnt wanna practice so he became an idol?

For someone who watches a lot of Korean media I was surprised how long it took you to realize that the sound is pretaken. They do this literally almost every time with every artist without permission. And they do it regardless if the artist is good or bad. Even most of the fans prefer fancams than the original footage. Most of them is better than the original footage, for réal. But yeah Is just what Korean editores mostly do, it isn't what most of the public wants, 'in my perspective', but is what they do mostly
Also I gotta add that most of the times they let them perfom with real sound while performing and then edit the video. But sometimes they're super disrespectful and put they're mics off while they're performing on stage with the prerecorded music. Some artist even realize they're mic is off while being on stage and shout out "please turn it on". If they complain enough, they actually get their mics on
@@nati4218 dude that's messed up
probably because they perform live all the time, and their video records our not edited in post-production. you're an avid watcher of Korean media, they are not - and that's the difference why it took them longer to realize it's edited.

They are giving mild constructive criticism or telling us what he did wrong.
Just a precision : Brett has been playing violin for 24 years (started at 5, is now 29), Eddy for 22 years (started at 6, is now 28). 😊

He's a male Vanessa Mae. He has his target audience. I don't think anyone considers him a virtuoso. From a classical perspective, he is kind of funny. From an idol perspective, he is kind of funny. He's a violin player! Good on him for creating a big fan base though.

As a fan of henry i admit that at first i was so amazed of him playing violin. I didn't find this video offending but rather an eye opener and an educational one. As a person who don't know anything about violin, you made your explanations understandable for people like me. At some time when i listen to henry playing violin i thought that some part or notes were kinda awkward to hear i guess? And it turns out that it was actuallyb out of tune. Thank you for explaining things thoroughly.
this is so true!! i'm not exactly a fan of henry but i really couldn't tell the difference between professional and amateur violin-playing, this really opened my eyes basically
I think It's all in the tone.I did learn music but I am pretty rhythm deaf.so I quit after 4 yrs
i play violin (not professionally) and I could tell something was off but I just wasn't really sure until i saw this video
@@toiletjunpaper Just because he studied at Berklee doesn't automatically make him more talented than other people. Not to mention, he went to Berklee to study music production, not the violin. In contrast, Brett graduated with honors from the Queensland Conservatorium and Eddie was actually the concertmaster for the Queensland Conservatorium for a while. So they've been playing professionally for years, and been part of multiple different orchestras. Now I'm not saying Henry Lau isn't talented, because he clearly is talented at many different things. But you can't honestly say he's more talented than two actual *professional* violinists.
@@toiletjunpaper I know Brett was part of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, and both him and Eddy were part of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and the Queensland Symphony Orchestra. Are those not respectable enough orchestras to be considered "professional"? I don't follow Henry too closely so I've never seen his Zigeunerweisen, but I can respect that as being a valid reason to believe he's more talented at the violin. It's just that saying "He went to Berklee", as evidence of someone being more musically talented than another, really irked me for some reason. Especially since I had read he went there to study music production.

The best thing for me is I also didn't know who the henry is.
Violin is what made Henry stood out in Korea. He learned the violin that's for sure but wasnt at a orchestra level. The smooth criminal sounded something off for me was what made me watch this video. I believe he himself knew it didn't sound right but it was a performance, you have to finish it regardless. And yes, like someone mentioned. There are alot of exaggerating or fake reactions you can find in Korean shows.
You will find fake reactions in ANY show, regardless of country.

Ppl shouldn’t hate this video because of what they’re saying as in: “I hate this video because Twoset is hating.” Brett and Eddy backed all of their arguments up with facts and evidence, thus making what they’re saying a good argument. It is their opinion and so, no one should be criticizing them. It’s not hate, it’s a critic of the performances - it’s an opinion they are free to share with absolutely no repercussions.
Exactly!!! As an ARMY/kpop fan and flutist, I can verify that both these groups are NOT as short tempered as they seem!!!
Yes i agree
This reply section consists of ARMYs with the members/their bias in their pfp. Btw I totally support your argument.
As an Army-Elf who doesn't "stan" henry ( I know him bcs of sj's past but never get into him as a soloist ) but like him bcs well he has the capabilities to become better - am very disappointed in some of the stan reaction to this 🥺
I agree with everything you said , but an opinion doesn't mean you get a free pass to shit talk on someone . In which many people abused the " This is my opinion " bullshit . Anyone with an opinion regarding facts should provide facts like Brett & Eddy did in the video . If some people are triggered because of it , that just means they're lacking in brain cells to accept the truth .
its like watching two unknown violin teachers teaching a rich student with lots of connections and power and being scared shitless of saying the wrong thing.
except twoset are well-known but i see, stans are scary af sometimes.
@Odoreater they said they recognize henry as an artist but the video is only about how he play the violin at this certain show and they were very fair and even used polite words. They were very respectful too.
@Odoreater does this pianist have a good skill? Two violinist with surface knowledge discuss.
They are going to choose the instruments they know about so they don't misinform people

Just realized...at 15:25 Henry’s editors inserted “our ace” and “he plays well” as the orchestra members’ reactions to his playing.....but their faces were actually like “bro you’re out of tune and inaccurate wth”......watch it...see what creative editing can do!
Exactly what i thought, especially with the Ace one
The dude making the face in the ace clip isn't an orchestra member, just another celebrity
David Paik whoever he is, he’s certainly not saying “our ace!”
As a Korean, that is how that Korean celebrity's facial expression always looks like in TV. Lol.
I agree 100%. I didn't notice the subtitles until Brett and Eddie pointed them out, and when I saw the musicians' faces my first though was that they were hating it.
Honestly, I don’t think anybody should hate you guys for trying to correct Henry’s mistakes, cuz that’s what a lot of violinists or musicians do to other people when they make mistakes while performing. You’re definitely not being rude. This is a very good, and informative video that could or maybe even help Henry to play the violin better.
ITS ALSO NOT OKAY TO USE OTHER PEOPLE MISTAKE TO MAKE MONEY. ITS SELFISH AND TAKING ADVANTAGE SS WELL. THE WAY THEY FIND OTHER PEOPLE MISTAKE AND MAKE A VIDEO FOR MONEY, DONT SEEMS OK ANYWAY.

It's a little bit annoying that people in the comments are just talking about how TwoSet is afraid of kpop fandom and had to filter out so much of their roasts. I really don't think so! They said what they said because it's true. Brett & Eddy ain't lying to us. They gave us an honest review of what's happening in Henry's performances and didn't hold back DESPITE the fandom scare. They were impressed that Henry is actually good even though he's an idol and they pointed out what seems to be technical flaws. *It's a fair criticism.* It's simply them recognizing that Henry isn't a violin professional.
*Copying my other comment: Unlike that people TwoSet ACTUALLY roasted, Henry isn't posing himself as "the best violinist in the world" (ehem Guinness attempters). Henry is a non-professional violinist. Outside of violin playing, he has a thousand more talents/skills including singing, dancing, playing the piano, songwriting/composing, acting, being able to speak in at least four languages, etc.
//TwoSet isn't the enemy of Henry Lau or of kpop.
///The truth is, I would be more annoyed at people who always flex about their violin skills as if they're top-tier when they can't even do proper phrasing.
The problem with TwoSet is, they are trying to discredit Henry just by simply choosing some performance he did in variety show before. I am not sure about any of the video they chose either being edited/dub or not by the specific show, but Henry did play around this level, there are plenty of live and concert available, they just chose to ignore it all by highlighting some of his performance in variety show which he doesn't has any power to do with how their editing is.
TwoSet seem like someone that think of themselves better than anyone else that did not has the title of "professional" because they are professional. Henry did has level 10 in both violin and piano before he stopped the professional training and go for idol. And bare in mind, just because he stop training in school, doesn't mean he stop using and practicing such instruments, he used them a lot actually, he is sharpening his skills informally little by little.
Selected some past performance in variety show trying to discredit someone is stupid especially he can't even control what the producer do with the editing. As far as I know, probably some of the video here has flaw when he is performing, and the editor just decided to edit it to make it perfect. So he is more like, actually doing it for real but has flaw, only edited by editors to make it perfect, instead of using pre-recorded.
For who is interested, he route completely change and move away from being too "entertainer" to focus on his music after he quit SM. SM totally screw him over on his career, the show he join after he out from SM, Begin Again, feel free to check it out, awesome show and he clearly improve a lot throughout seasons, especially his singing skill. There is also some fancam available proving their performance is the same with what being show. And you also can see how his performance change after leave SM, he used to do a lot and focus more on dramatic dance when playing violin to playing it seriously without such dramatically.
You also can check all his live performances in China from 2019 and on wards.
@@TheExtraterrestrial99 I'm quite sure they weren't cherry-picking, because that Michael Jackson performance is the first result that comes up when you search "Henry Lau violin", and the 7 rings performance was pretty recent. I also watched one of those live performances and another more recent performance, but none of them are impressive from a classical standpoint. Twoset definitely are better than he is at classical violin, not because of their "title," but because of their skill. They are judging his playing based on skill, not performance. They are also criticizing these particular clips exclusively, as they say, and mostly dislike the reactions. Twoset are definitely not hating on Lau in any way.

The whole pre-recorded, edited blablabla, is all about performance(9:55 - 12:00). If it is about skill, they will just point out he missed this while doing the dance, there was flaw and whatsoever. But they went directly into this is pre-recorded, no way he can do this and more , even worst by putting their title ".....Reveals Fake Violin Secret"
And for reaction part, it is just normal for Korean variety show. They separated celebrity skill to such as acting skill, singing skill, hosting and variety skill. Ya, there are variety skill in their entertainment industry, even has yearly award ceremony special for variety department too instead of just for acting or music. This is why their variety show more success than the other countries. And this is where I didn't understand, those are not all singer and they definitely don't know violin, so why the need to highlighted the reaction if not just to make it look like they are boasting Henry? And some secret tips, Korean editors for every show, they like to cut out the reaction and put it into where they think fix it, so, the reaction shown actually are not always a reaction to that specific moment.

i love henry and i love how you guys reacted to henry playing violin and pointed out his mistakes.

I hope henry sees this video and become a good musician like you guys!
Hmm, I know this is a late response but I learned through research that Henry gave up classical music and the violin/piano after choosing Kpop. He actually won or got second place in violin and piano competitions before becoming an idol.
I am not really what you call a fan but I researched his background when I saw him play piano, violin, and drums. He is out of practice now because of his choice but he could have been a professional violinist/pianist like these two guys had he not chosen Kpop to his parents' dismay. And Henry prefers to compose music which he has done as a Kpop artist.
I saw his nice videos with that Korean female child violin prodigy (the toddler that astounded these two professionals) and those videos showed me that Henry is a good musician but he even admitted he has not practiced for years.

@@mikefung3000 Yes, they promised to learn to play it and post a video by some time in December. Don't let them forget.
WELL YEAH! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT! XD
Can we just say thanks to the girl who start it all, who makes the video?
Weilina Cahyadi Yes! It was really funny!
I wanna see it wheres the vid
@Amy Gradess Is it the 11 year old boy who plays the violin? Yeah, they definitely should!
Henry said it by himself that he can play many instrument but he is not good at it. People always say that he is a genius in music but he will always that he is not.
Yes and he isn't perfect. No one is lol. 😅
yea and twosets actually included that for 1~2 secs in this clip of him saying this
@@Kt-cn2rq Preach sis.
Exactly
ur koreaboo shit
I'm a fan of Henry and as a fan I'm very open watching videos like this. Criticisms are important in giving a room for improvement, after all no one's perfect.
I really hope this doesn’t negatively affect twoset....but they were being really generous in the video.😅
nobody with their right mind would attack twoset in this video, so it's just a great content plus it's interesting to see if there's anybody who got offended by this. lol
Anirvin Vaddiyar nah it won’t, their comments were really good and seemed genuine, like a violin teacher correcting a student. it was nice
I was thinking the same thing! lol
Why would anyone attack Twoset though? They're just being honest and they're being professional about it. lol Twoset are AMAZING.
@@jamzqool never underestimate kpop fans!
I WATCH THIS _ONE_ VIDEO AND SUDDENLY UA-cam THINKS IM A HARDCORE HENRY LAU STAN
Same even facebook.. always suggested sponsored video on my wall henry lau I dont even know who he is
SAME lol
i knooooow...i only watch twoset and a few react channels, but suddenly it's henry lau everywhere, damn annoying. ah, the things i do for these nerds
OMG ME TOO
Hahaha maybe the internet feels bad for Henry after all that roasting. 😂🤣
Y'all triggered Henry Lau's fans, This is a *Constructive Criticism* it's clearly acceptable. Them as A professional violinist, they learned violin for Years. They know more About Violin than you do
funny thing is im sure they have been playing violin longer than most of these fans have been alive, 20+ years of violin. If anybody is going to talk about this subject they have the accolades and criteria to do so.
@@averagecat5968 agree
@@averagecat5968 ^
Yes completely agreed
Guess what, I saw a toxic Henry fan in the comment section saying Brett and eddy are not professional violinist Lmao 🤣 And saying because Henry went to Berkeley, he is more musically talented than two set, and the fan has the title of doctor, tbh, if a toxic fan can become a doctor( doctors require subjective mind) the patients are having a high death rate then
i really wish for TwoSet and Henry to collab or do a video. i'm sure henry would love it since he is very open into working with other musicians. plus the dynamic of these three would be very fun to watch :)
Twoset: nervous, long intro, thiswasamistake
Also Twoset: The Truth of Henry Lau
Never change, boys... Never change.
Good job you're here before they changed the name
Namjoon stole too many of jimin’s jams to fit on a name smh
I'm a simple Korean.
I see TwoSetViolin roasting another Korean, I click.
Henry is canadian
I guess they just got it mixed up because henry's seen in korean media a lot
Father from Hong-Kong, mother from Taiwan, born in Canada, mostly active in China and South Korea...
I can easily understand why people get confused ! 😅
Henry Lau is half chinese half canadian he's not korean 💁🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
아.... 그는 한국인이 아니야! ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
15:12 Brett sweats profusely knowing that Henry Lau’s fans are coming for him
Mhmm
He looks nervous the whole video
Idk if it’s just me, but Henry’s face during some of his more painful performance moments clearly showed that he knew it wasn’t good. He looked so nervous in some of the ones with a live audience :’’’) I think that as someone who does violin as a side gig to spice up his idol image, he’s fine. Lol he plays a bit in the buzzfeed thirst tweets video, and I was like 🤔 but he’s not terrible, compared to your average person, or even to many mainstream “showy” violin performers. I think that he personally is humble and realistic about his violin playing. He can’t control the way that other people react to him, nor the way his company tries to sell his “genius” image. He can be entertaining, which is his main job, and he definitely tries to encourage people to pursue their dreams when it comes to music, so good on him. I liked this video! The insurance bit was quite funny
