This video is literally just Nayeon having fun and being her silly awesome self, the entire time she doesn't act like she's taking it too seriously, but the sheer production value and quality in the music video makes her feel so much larger than life. Simultaneously she is the girl next door while also being an unattainable superstar, and that is TWICE through and through
Tbh, I think the main reason why this “sounds like a TWICE song” is because Nayeon is basically THE voice of Twice. The song itself, isn’t one I can see Twice singing but it being Nayeon singing makes it sound like one.
i’m so happy for nayeon. she’s receiving so much praise from everyone & breaking records left & right. this is truly an amazing solo debut. her entire album is insanely good!! it’s such a very addicting song, she SERVED & ATE the entire thing from outfits, to vocals to choreo absolutely everything!!
I agree, the song fits Nayeon bright personality, I am so glad JYPE put the budget to give her an amazing MV that goes well with the song, she clearly is shining amazingly as a soloist!
I know. I'm so happy for her. This debut was such a hit. So many positivity. Great catchy refreshing summer song that suits Nayeon so well. MV high budget. So many outfit. Love it love it love it.
I love the sound/vibe, totally early 3rd gen/late 2nd gen. The oversaturation of girl crush gets exhausting and she's just out here making a classic pop tune.. and people are liking it. I hope this creates a domino effect in the industry. Also, 14 outfit changes??? Arguably one of the most refreshing debuts while still proving she has a lot of power and artistic integrity. Love it!!
Cute concept got dominated by girl crush coz of BP and now it has become saturated since company wanted to make thier own D4 but sadly it came out as forced ...that's why only a few ggs can pull off the girl crush concept
@@Balerion_thedread I think that’s why a lot of groups are stunted, even though they would suit a different concept better, companies force girl crush since it seems to be a really popular concept in Korea
@@redbaymax2852 girl crush is not really popular in korea cute concepts is still favoured by the korean public...but if u wanna attract the global market then girl crush is the way but not many groups can pull off that concept so it feels very forced
@@Balerion_thedread yeah Girl Crush is made to attract more werstern market cause most of Asia is still on cute even tho they like to go on Girl Crush a bit so if you Want to attract more people Girl Crush is safe
@@Balerion_thedread I mean Blackpink, 2NE1 and (G)I-DLE and Aespa (the last two to a lesser extent) are all popular girl crush groups. Whilst groups like Girls Generation and Oh My Girl (other cute concept groups included), they don’t get nearly as much popularity as girl crush concepts. Look at Tomboy getting PAKs, and nothing cute really gets PAKs anymore.
A common description for Nayeon is "born to be an idol". I think she really is. She's one of the most complete and charismatic idols ever, and she manages to make it all look easy
It definitely shattered my expectations. Between all Twice members, most of expectations in terms of solo work were on Nayeon (and Jihyo). I expected a bubbly, catchy and Nayeon-like song, but this blew me away by how amazing it is. Nayeon got that special charisma and synergy that not only makes her a great kpop start/idol, but will possible give her legendary status, if she doesn't have it already. The whole album is amazing as well!
Before I watch the video. I know you bloody loved this. She’s broke so many records rn and she’s reviving the TRUE KPOP that we all love and know. Excited to see your reaction.
@Ronmaker - Most followed Kpop artist on debut day (the day the account was made) with over 175K - Highest streamed TWICE song ever - only Kpop soloist to reach #1 on Line Music albums Japan - 4hrs - biggest debut by a Kpop female act this year (both groups and solos) - highest Korean soloist on Spotify top artists global chart history *records are still being broken, it has only been one day so far
Yes Nayeon is the first Twice member to have an official solo, with an album and a MV (and promotions on music shows) ;) Also, there's a track on the album featuring Felix, so I'm sure you'll like it !
My first thought when watching the mv was that PD is going to absolutely flip sh*t over this. You can tell Nayeon put her all into this and it’s paying off greatly, the entire album is worth giving a listen to and none of it disappoints on any level. Her talent is truly a force to be reckoned with and now that she’s solo, who knows what we’ll get from her!
The amount of praise Nayeon is getting for this solo, i am just way too happy for her😭😭. Keep enjoying guys, streaming-voting everything else comes later. The first priority is enjoy because that's the reason Nayeon made the song 🥰
TWICE is JYP's money machine and Nayeon is the informal and public granted Center. She deserves unlimited budget and being treated like the Star she is. I would have been so disappointed if JYPE did not give it all...but they did. Awesome. PS. Nobody is gonna talk about her rapping?
There are 14 outfit combos btw and they all suit her perfectly Since this was promoted for so long the expectation for this was so high and it was upto my expectations maybe higher than my expectations And I think I want Jihyo to go next just cause for her vocals
Nayeon has worked so hard for twice, shes often given the most lines and gets hate for it from once even though she had no say in the lines and more lines = more time working perfecting lines in a stuffy recording studio. She deserves this.
Your "oh my god" when the MV was over was me LOL. I literally couldn't believe how much I LOVED it while I was listening to it lmao. I had to pause it multiple times bc I was getting overwhelmed lol. Nayeon's debut is kind of...perfect imo. I love everything about it, the MV, the styling, the choreo (it's SO FUN), and the album is great. It's always nice to hear your thoughts PD! I'm glad you loved it as much as me lol. (Oh, and for me, I think I'd like to see Jihyo or Chaeng go solo next? Maybe. I can't choose lol.)
I have a feeling Jihyo will be the next solo, and I’d really like to see the different concepts she will try. I feel like JeongMoMiDaChae will be towards the end if they all are getting a solo debut. Sana and Tzuyu seem like good candidates for the solo after Jihyo since they’re popular in Korea, famed for their visuals and are well balanced idols.
Nayeon has such an incredible stage presence without being affected or forcibly trying to catch the eye. I can't put my finger down on what exactly it is but even with all the different scenes, backup dancers etc. she effortlessly carries herself through this visual smorgasbord of input for the audience and she does it with such style and grace. The production supports her abilities and highlights her best features with an addictive and well made song + mv. She knows what she's doing and it's world class. If this is the standard of what we can expect for other twice members solo debuts, than damn.
both the title track and the rest of the mini album was everything i ever wanted for her as a solo artist tbh! just bubblegum pop, good music and i enjoyed every second of it. also i think a lot of people say it sounds like a twice song is because nayeon is the literal embodiment of twice's sound. i wasn't surprised at all that she went for a song like this
Yeah Usually the title track is the weakest and the b side is a bop but in Nayeon case , it didn't happen . Like , POP is so far top 5 contender for my personal SOTY (Right beside INVU , HOT , O.O , and Feel My Rhythm) .
I think it was smart and the best move to have Nayeon go solo first, especially with this song! I would definitely say it's one of the best solo debuts possible for her, since it very much represents TWICE and Nayeon herself. When you hear this song, you know its Nayeon, and you know it's a TWICE song which imo is great! It also sets the tone for future solos TWICE may have. For example, now that Nayeon as gone solo, I can definitely imagine Jihyo debuting with a more mature song or Jeongyeong with a ballad 🥰💗
I hope for Momo they will go with kinda interpretative theme kinda same vibes with Taemin music. Because that GOODBYE AND MOVE covers with Momo really hits different! Especially MOVE! I hope all of them got the chance to go solo....
@@m.syauqiabdurahman2798 Yasss kinda like Taeyon vibes! Elegant! I remember her Snowman cover.. Ugh I am so excited I hope we won't be disappointed and really JYP are having plans on giving them solo chances...
*the fact that nayeon literally has 13 different outfits and 7 entirely magnificent sets in just one m/v are just incredibly insane…* *like jype literally put in a lot of budget in her solo debut m/v. like even more than they ever put into a twice comeback m/v.*
What I love about Nayeon's solo debut is her oozing charisma and confidence. That's why I think this debut, this title track screams NAYEON. She really shines in everything.
Seriously such a banger of a chorus. The teaser of it was jus the post chorus and I was like “okay okay” and then when the full song dropped and I heard the chorus, I was blown away
I absolutely love this song, Nayeon completely killed it. Listening to it just makes you infinitely happier, so far my absolute favorite summer track. I've read this somewhere else, and I completely agree with it, that this is the most "kpop" sounding song in a while, compared to many more "western" songs. and western style is by no means a necessarily bad thing, but it feels really good and refreshing to hear a sound like this again. The rest of the album doesn't really appeal to me all too much, but POP is on repeat for me rn. 10/10 debut song! One thing I would like to quickly elaborate on is something that PD said in the video: "It's like a Twice song but Nayeon is doing it all on her own". Well, people might not like it, but Nayeon embodies Twice. There have been Twice releases recently without the one or other member, but I doubt it would ever work without Nayeon. So I hope a lot of people who have hated on Nayeon and Jihyo (but especially Nayeon) for having the most lines and screentime, realize now why that is. These two portrait the groups image the best, they have the best voices, they are the best at performing their songs on stage, it just makes sense. Twice is a 9 member group that works very well as that, but nobody can deny that Nayeon (and Jihyo) make Twice into what Twice is, hence their outstanding presence in most of their songs. I am not trying to downplay the contributions any of the other members male to the group, but to make haters see how vital Nayeon and Jihyo are to the group's success, and that these people should be thankful for what they do for the group musically as well as in terms of image instead of hating on them (especially Nayeon).
once you listen to the whole album, you're absolutely going to say that this is one of the best solo debut of all time. what i love about it so much too is the fact that right now a lot of artists are coming out with experimental noise music that's doing it's very best to reinvent the wheel. then here comes nayeon giving a song that radiates a lot of 2nd and 3rd gen kpop vibes standing out from all the other current releases.
yes, the white buildings is at korea! many people tought its on other country but the fact its not ㅋㅋㅋㅋ its so nayeon and its so twice! bubbly and fun, should listen to the mini album too! i love "love countdown" 🥰
Nayeon is the Queen of K-Pop in my opinion. She can sing (so well, I honestly think her voice is such a big part of Twice’s songs catchiness) she can dance she can act and she has an amazing and genuine personality 🤍
I 100% agree with "forgetting" Nayeon is in Twice and this is what they DO. I just think of them as my favorite humans, and it's just an amazing added bonus when I remember they're performers 😂🥰 Nayeon DEFINITELY reminded us what she's capable of.
Nayeon is the first member to have an official solo. This is the title track for an album that also has a song that features Felix which is actually my favorite song of the album. I hope you can check it out!
Oh small correction! Hayden Chapman and Greg Bonnick are LDN Noise, so they did participate in composing the song, not just the arrangement! I love checking song credits, and the team behind Nayeon's Pop! is basically a dream combo I typically would see in SM songs. I cannot wait for Nayeon's listening party, it's definitely one of my fav debut albums! She is just amazing~
So long overdue, Twice as a whole are great, but Nayeon is just the one you always wait to see and hear her sing. She always delivers great vocals, even when she has a few lines. She has been worthy of a solo for so long, finally we can enjoy her talent and hard work as an idol exclusively.
I’m super satisfied with this solo debut, everything is working on her favor, she’s a true born to be idol and her time is doing amazing, I hope we get an listening party on patron because this ep is a no skip for sure!
somehow this song and mv, especially the mv reminded me of 2nd generation kpop. It was so colorful and bubbly.It's really something refreshing in between all female soloist's. cause it gave me that KPOP style kind of music, i fell in love with, when i got into kpop with 2nd gen groups. Nayeon isn't even my Twice bias, but with such fun songs, i can see myself getting her fan of her solo's.
I feel this could be a Twice song but they made it in a way where it’s all Nayeon’s style the whole way through. It would probably sound a little different where they would have to tailor the song to fit each member if it was a Twice song. So proud of Nayeon on her solo debut and looking forward to any other Twice member solos. I enjoyed this song as it’s so Nayeon and the album was really good.
That slow-mo also caught my attention on my first watch. Got me so hyped so early. They also really leaned into the POP theme (Lollipop, balloons, pop-up book style editing, etc.)
Can we all appreciate the jacket she threw in the last scene becoming the apostrophe so instead of it just being her name Im Nayeon it changes to I'm Nayeon!!! it's probably my favorite tiny detail in the video. It really gives her that diva moment from the jacket toss to it's continued placement there during the final chorus. *chef's kiss* brilliant.
I really like your point on 14:08 on the human/ non human hybrid in the creation of kpop idols. I think the media and fans nowadays are continuing to reveal the human side of idols (school bullying, dating scandals) and we slowly forget to appreciate the “non human ness” in idols, that switch of falling into fandom, that one- time moment of falling in love with these idol figures
pop! is like coming back to twice's roots, specifically nayeon's but with the experience they gained along the way. it heavilly reminds me why and how twice got me into their music(and kpop) on the first place. this is the type of twice song i want and got addicted to.
For me it's on par with Taeyeons "I" as like top tier Idol solo debut. The songs have very different vibes but fit the singers so well and are so good and addicting. Only time will tell if Pop! is going to stand the test of time and become as iconic as I tho.
I always love your commentaries whenever there’s a new TWICE release because it’s informative so thank you for making another one for Nayeon’s POP! Everything was beyond amazing. And what you said about Nayeon and TWICE being so accessible it’s easy to forget theyre one of the biggest girl groups to exist is so true. I think that’s one of the major selling points of TWICE. They will make sure you feel valued as a fan. Hope you continue to support our nine amazing girls 🥰
I personally loved Nayeon's solo debut! It reminds me of Lee Hyori's, Hyuna's and Sunmi's solo debuts back in the day. I think she brings a bubbly and refreshing proposal to the current K-pop scene.
This song reminded me of the OG k-pop vibe and the chorus and post chorus pop pop pop is definitely hard carrying the song because damn is it addicting.
SHE DID THAT. this was the best solo debut for sure, and the album it's amazing too, twice have been delivering just great music lately, I'm a happy once
Nayeon literally defines the pop in K-pop with this song!! Literally the standard in the industry!! What an actual queen!! From the outfits to the catchy chorus and choreography they really went in and delivered another classic !! When you mentioned any other big solos I thought of Lisa’s from Blackpink! Two different vibes but she came to mind!
When I watched her mv, I just smiled all the way till the end. I love the song, fits Nayeon so perfectly. We finally have a fun bubble pop song in the 4th gen. I'm also guessing that the solo debut order for the members would by their age order? Oldest to youngest?
I think I could related with how PD feelings. "For a solo debut, I can't say that this is the best solo debut. But I can't say that it isn't." Like... When you heard the song, the chorus especially. It just makes me forget any other song, and enjoy this song to the point I think that this song is so damn good...
*“I think like that kind of a shot is what makes idols look even more idol-like, even more inhuman.”* I don’t even understand how and why, but the fact that PD literally has the same thought as me for the gazillionth time is just INSANE. I literally said, *“Slow-mo is what makes the idols look more like a star.”* and then PD…
okkkkkk you're my new favorite channel that reaction after the music video was exactly me. like i was ready to like it regardless because it's nayeon, but it exceeded my expectations so much. love your deep dives into the producer team.
I'm really happy for Nayeon's success, she deserves it, she was born to be an idol, everything was amazing from the album promotions to the music video, everything seemed perfect she deserved it.
It matched her perfectly! I’ve seen some say it was so Twice but I didn’t see it as Twice, I saw it as Nayeon. I’ve watched her from Sixteen up until now, even their “Time to Twice” vlogs they do it’s just so genuine and true to Nayeon. So so happy for her!
I thought 4:31 were references to her outfits from Cry for Me & Alcohol Free. The veil for CFM and the cute yellow dress with the curly bangs for Alcohol Free and she floats away too!
![[ENG/JPN CC] Will you be my younger brother..?💎 TREASURE YOSHI makeup😈🤘 l 이사배(RISABAE Makeup)](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/-klY_NS7S2w/mqdefault.jpg)
The fact that she throws her coat in the final chorus on the IM to make it look like I'M NAYEON is just iconic
poetic cinema
nayeon our grammatical queen🤭
YES, i hate how most reactors don't comment on that
Also at the very end when she puts her finger between the I and the M creates a similar effect.
@@datscursed9019 actually, when she presented the album she referred to it as I'm Nayeon (with the apostrophe), not Im Nayeon

I am so happy for her, I do not follow them but I am happy she is being well recived only, I wish she had like two years ago her debut.
"I think I'm having a heat stroke, but IT'S NAYEON. We have to do this."
Never have I been worried at a statement but also agree with it 100%.

Without some dramatic drops in their chorus I feel this is a classic KPOP
Anti drops have been damaging Kpop a lot

I've read this somewhere else, and I completely agree with it, that this is the most "kpop" sounding song in a while, compared to many more "western" songs. and western style is by no means a necessarily bad thing, but it feels really good and refreshing to hear a sound like this again.
The rest of the album doesn't really appeal to me all too much, but POP is on repeat for me rn.
10/10 debut song!
One thing I would like to quickly elaborate on is something that PD said in the video: "It's like a Twice song but Nayeon is doing it all on her own". Well, people might not like it, but Nayeon embodies Twice. There have been Twice releases recently without the one or other member, but I doubt it would ever work without Nayeon. So I hope a lot of people who have hated on Nayeon and Jihyo (but especially Nayeon) for having the most lines and screentime, realize now why that is. These two portrait the groups image the best, they have the best voices, they are the best at performing their songs on stage, it just makes sense. Twice is a 9 member group that works very well as that, but nobody can deny that Nayeon (and Jihyo) make Twice into what Twice is, hence their outstanding presence in most of their songs.
I am not trying to downplay the contributions any of the other members male to the group, but to make haters see how vital Nayeon and Jihyo are to the group's success, and that these people should be thankful for what they do for the group musically as well as in terms of image instead of hating on them (especially Nayeon).
once you listen to the whole album, you're absolutely going to say that this is one of the best solo debut of all time.
what i love about it so much too is the fact that right now a lot of artists are coming out with experimental noise music that's doing it's very best to reinvent the wheel. then here comes nayeon giving a song that radiates a lot of 2nd and 3rd gen kpop vibes standing out from all the other current releases.
Of all time? Loool
@@bali8619 I think it should definitely be considered. Less skips than most other solo albums
@@bali8619 oh definitely! Have you listened to the whole album?
Why not just the best the others not even good as this
@@bali8619 YEES? AND BTOB? FLOPPED. NO CHANCE. SHOULD'VE DISBAND
Nayeon is an ace, I really enjoyed your reaction, I'm so happy for nayeon and all the success she has achieved
the vocal
the dance
the catchy music beat
the visual and
14 outfits in less than 3minutes????
SO AMAZING!!!! so proud of my bias!!
Nayeon is literally the Twice's signature voice, She's the center for a reason ❤️
yes, the white buildings is at korea! many people tought its on other country but the fact its not ㅋㅋㅋㅋ its so nayeon and its so twice! bubbly and fun, should listen to the mini album too! i love "love countdown" 🥰
Nayeon is the Queen of K-Pop in my opinion. She can sing (so well, I honestly think her voice is such a big part of Twice’s songs catchiness) she can dance she can act and she has an amazing and genuine personality 🤍
And she has one of, if not, the best aegyo in kPop (only Sunny of SNSD compares) and she’s an acrostic poem genius.
I 100% agree with "forgetting" Nayeon is in Twice and this is what they DO. I just think of them as my favorite humans, and it's just an amazing added bonus when I remember they're performers 😂🥰 Nayeon DEFINITELY reminded us what she's capable of.
I'm obsessed and I can't help it but smile whenever I watched the mv or the performance , this song and nayeon herself lights up my summer break
Nayeon is the first member to have an official solo. This is the title track for an album that also has a song that features Felix which is actually my favorite song of the album. I hope you can check it out!
Yes Nayeon is the first member to make solo debut
THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!
Oh small correction! Hayden Chapman and Greg Bonnick are LDN Noise, so they did participate in composing the song, not just the arrangement! I love checking song credits, and the team behind Nayeon's Pop! is basically a dream combo I typically would see in SM songs. I cannot wait for Nayeon's listening party, it's definitely one of my fav debut albums! She is just amazing~
Lmao I didn’t know they credited themselves differently thank you for the info!
Yeah like the way they credit The Stereotypes too
It is a mix between Bubble Pop and Girl's Day Darling, really good song 💓
And Crayon Pop’s Bar Bar Bar.
Agree with everything u said about the mv and how much it fits twice and nayeon, its so natural yet effortlessly glamorous
One of the first things I notice in The MV was, holy shit! the budget of this must have been crazy!
So long overdue, Twice as a whole are great, but Nayeon is just the one you always wait to see and hear her sing. She always delivers great vocals, even when she has a few lines. She has been worthy of a solo for so long, finally we can enjoy her talent and hard work as an idol exclusively.
I’m super satisfied with this solo debut, everything is working on her favor, she’s a true born to be idol and her time is doing amazing, I hope we get an listening party on patron because this ep is a no skip for sure!
9:20 I think that's also very much what JYP wants you to think. He wants you to feel like they're just these fun relatable girls. He's great at that.
Like I saw someone saying, this is the kpoppiest kpop-song I've heard in a while and I LOVE IT
I agree that the chorus was really good and worked for Nayeon a lot
Nayeon bringing back the "OG KPOP SOUND" back applause for that
Only became a Kpop and TWICE fan a few weeks back and this was one heck of a solo debut! So cool to witness
Welcome to TWICELAND :-)
welcome to twiceland
this song and mv are literally so fun and nayeon is shining😭 I love it so much
The fact that Nayeon wins her first MAMA Award
That includes Best Female Artist 2022
somehow this song and mv, especially the mv reminded me of 2nd generation kpop. It was so colorful and bubbly.It's really something refreshing in between all female soloist's. cause it gave me that KPOP style kind of music, i fell in love with, when i got into kpop with 2nd gen groups. Nayeon isn't even my Twice bias, but with such fun songs, i can see myself getting her fan of her solo's.
This music video is incredible
I feel this could be a Twice song but they made it in a way where it’s all Nayeon’s style the whole way through. It would probably sound a little different where they would have to tailor the song to fit each member if it was a Twice song. So proud of Nayeon on her solo debut and looking forward to any other Twice member solos. I enjoyed this song as it’s so Nayeon and the album was really good.
Your video was my most anticipated reaction to Nayeon's debut. I learn so much from your insights. Love Nayeon and your 10/10 reaction to "Pop!" 🎈🎈🎈
That slow-mo also caught my attention on my first watch. Got me so hyped so early. They also really leaned into the POP theme (Lollipop, balloons, pop-up book style editing, etc.)
Can we all appreciate the jacket she threw in the last scene becoming the apostrophe so instead of it just being her name Im Nayeon it changes to I'm Nayeon!!! it's probably my favorite tiny detail in the video. It really gives her that diva moment from the jacket toss to it's continued placement there during the final chorus. *chef's kiss* brilliant.
I really like your point on 14:08 on the human/ non human hybrid in the creation of kpop idols. I think the media and fans nowadays are continuing to reveal the human side of idols (school bullying, dating scandals) and we slowly forget to appreciate the “non human ness” in idols, that switch of falling into fandom, that one- time moment of falling in love with these idol figures
pop! is like coming back to twice's roots, specifically nayeon's but with the experience they gained along the way.
it heavilly reminds me why and how twice got me into their music(and kpop) on the first place.
this is the type of twice song i want and got addicted to.
The debut is perfect the song is very enjoyable the music production is chief kiss. Loved everything about it ❤
For me it's on par with Taeyeons "I" as like top tier Idol solo debut. The songs have very different vibes but fit the singers so well and are so good and addicting. Only time will tell if Pop! is going to stand the test of time and become as iconic as I tho.
I always love your commentaries whenever there’s a new TWICE release because it’s informative so thank you for making another one for Nayeon’s POP! Everything was beyond amazing. And what you said about Nayeon and TWICE being so accessible it’s easy to forget theyre one of the biggest girl groups to exist is so true. I think that’s one of the major selling points of TWICE. They will make sure you feel valued as a fan. Hope you continue to support our nine amazing girls 🥰
u nailed it, twice feels so relatable and communicates to fans like a friend i love them sm
I personally loved Nayeon's solo debut! It reminds me of Lee Hyori's, Hyuna's and Sunmi's solo debuts back in the day. I think she brings a bubbly and refreshing proposal to the current K-pop scene.
Same! I really thought of hyuna and lee hyori watching the mv for the first time
This song reminded me of the OG k-pop vibe and the chorus and post chorus pop pop pop is definitely hard carrying the song because damn is it addicting.
Only thing i can say, Pop! is a song how Kpop sounds like! Purely bop 💓
It went beyond the hype. It was everything and more 100/10! You MUST do the whole album! All 7 tracks were solid
SHE DID THAT. this was the best solo debut for sure, and the album it's amazing too, twice have been delivering just great music lately, I'm a happy once
This is definitely in the top of best solo's debuts in K-pop. I loved Pop so much, Nayeon really slayed
I like that slo-mo toooooo so glad you’ve mentioned that
I must admit that JYP is the company that best handles cute/refreshing concepts and their artists are the best at interpreting them.
It's like a TWICE song, but can't imagine TWICE members themselves singing it. Like it's really made for Nayeon.
The pool trampoline scene with the synchro swimmers omfg. Huge nod to 50's Hollywood (ie million $ mermaid) and i'm eating it tf up
Nayeon literally defines the pop in K-pop with this song!! Literally the standard in the industry!! What an actual queen!! From the outfits to the catchy chorus and choreography they really went in and delivered another classic !!
When you mentioned any other big solos I thought of Lisa’s from Blackpink! Two different vibes but she came to mind!
When I watched her mv, I just smiled all the way till the end. I love the song, fits Nayeon so perfectly.
We finally have a fun bubble pop song in the 4th gen.
I'm also guessing that the solo debut order for the members would by their age order? Oldest to youngest?
Y'all this is twice's Center, lead vocal, lead singer, FOTG and now soloist: IM NAYEON ❤❤❤
this soloist is freaking great she could literally debut to a group and shine!
I think I could related with how PD feelings.
"For a solo debut, I can't say that this is the best solo debut. But I can't say that it isn't."
Like... When you heard the song, the chorus especially. It just makes me forget any other song, and enjoy this song to the point I think that this song is so damn good...
I love that you talk so much in this video, it makes your review unique and interesting to watch.
Really excited for the album listening party. I really like this album.
I love her dance move in Pop and her outfit too, the red outfit suit her so well!
Yesss blessing us today !!
*“I think like that kind of a shot is what makes idols look even more idol-like, even more inhuman.”*
I don’t even understand how and why, but the fact that PD literally has the same thought as me for the gazillionth time is just INSANE.
I literally said, *“Slow-mo is what makes the idols look more like a star.”* and then PD…
okkkkkk you're my new favorite channel that reaction after the music video was exactly me. like i was ready to like it regardless because it's nayeon, but it exceeded my expectations so much. love your deep dives into the producer team.
POP song of the year!!!! I really really want Nayeon to win best female solo this year!!
this song's gonna be one of THAT songs in kpop
IM NAYEON SET THE STANDARD HIGH ON SOLO DEBUT LIKE WTF
SHE IS A RECORD BREAKING 💕
i do agree it's basically a TWICE song but nayeon do all the parts, which she definitely killing it...
I'm really happy for Nayeon's success, she deserves it, she was born to be an idol, everything was amazing from the album promotions to the music video, everything seemed perfect she deserved it.
It matched her perfectly! I’ve seen some say it was so Twice but I didn’t see it as Twice, I saw it as Nayeon. I’ve watched her from Sixteen up until now, even their “Time to Twice” vlogs they do it’s just so genuine and true to Nayeon. So so happy for her!
I thought 4:31 were references to her outfits from Cry for Me & Alcohol Free. The veil for CFM and the cute yellow dress with the curly bangs for Alcohol Free and she floats away too!
I can't wait for Jordan Orme to react to this mv, especially with Nayeon's hair transition at 3:42! 💙
That's the reason why NAYEON usually starts almost every TWICE title track song.
Her voice is that powerful.
