** EDIT** Hey Y'all I want to apologize for not knowing XG isn't Kpop, I was only going off of y'all recommendations in my discord / stream, and that was not explained to me til now! They still slayed though! DISCLAIMER REMINDER: I pause / rewind a lot in order take in each full video respectfully in one sitting! ENJOY xoxox Thank y’all again for the suggestions for what goes into these videos, please let me know what to react to next! ~~~ Watch all my KPOP REACTIONS so far: tinyurl.com/ypnn3kub RED VELVET REACTIONS: tinyurl.com/3j56excs DREAMCATCHER REACTIONS: tinyurl.com/9tppwecj My full rewatch through of this playlist on Patreon: tinyurl.com/bdd48udp ~~~ ~ALL MY SOCIAL LINKS + WHERE TO FIND ME: linktr.ee/laurelrothamel ~
mamamoo known in the industry as vocal powers..all have successful solo careers too. Their theme and style is more fierce, confident be yourself woman. Check out mamamoo "egotistical" its very sexy coded though. Mamamoo doesn't like cute style and hate lip sync singing as u say they do themselves. If you want to truly hear the amazing vocals of each member..have to react to mamamoo on killing voice on dingo..live medley of their hits. Amazing.
must watch mamamoo on immortal songs meddley..its live meddley of old classics..they sing live and show u their swag/stage presence/vocals and all live ..
saying mamamoo is lesbian coded is the most real thing in the world. on that note, you should react to Moonbyul's (rapper) song Shutdown. straight up lesbian song
Moonbyul has the title of "The Nation's Girlcrush" for a reason. And her statement "When I found out Seori agreed I said it needed to be racy. I wanted to do a racy song with Seori." Mamamoo is very boundary pushing in the Kpop world. From Tiktok challenges, to Pole dancing on award shows, drag back up dancers, outright wearing their LGBTQ Fan group pins on stage, to Solar ripping open her shirt on stage "Because it looked like the guys had fun doing it." They've blazed trails so groups can do stuff today.
bibi is bisexual! also mamamoo is openly supportive of the lgbtq community! they’re really supportive of self love, hwasa once said that if she doesn’t fit the current beauty standard, she will make a new one 💗 tysm for 125 likes 🫶🏻
@taskotami I mean, just being lgbt doesn't make you an icon, it's the individual, not the sexuality, we should strive to go to an place in society where sexuality doesn't matter that much and it's just a "oh, you are bi?cool, doesn't change anything to how I see you tho" I would be more okay with you praising her for coming out as bi in a country and industry that is very against it, that is awesome and iconic, but just being bi, no, we should not celebrate any sexuality more than another in my opinion
Song recommendations: 1. Deja Vu - Dreamcatcher 2. Oh My God - G-Idle 3. Girls Never Die - tripleS 4. Shutdown - Moonbyul 5. Woke Up - XG 6. Nothing / Midas Touch - Kiss of Life 7. Freak - Yuqi
Saying Mamamoo will not do what others want them to do is so real - most recently Solar getting ballroom dancers and voguing in Colours all over the Korean music shows is such a power move!
YESSSS ARTMS tyyyy for reacting to them they truly are doing something really unique in kpop rn and they are SO underrated for it. They're actually a subgroup of LOONA if you've heard of them. LOONA was also an amazing and unique group but they're management was treating them horribly so LOONA has since split off into sub groups and solos under different companies but the members have made it clear that they're still LOONA! ARTMS (as in the goddess of the moon/hunt) features five of the 12 LOONA girls and they're debuting with a full album on the 31st. Loossemble (LOONA Assemble) is the other sister group and just had their comeback. Chuu and Yves are the two members who have gone solo and Yves' debut is the 29th while Chuu is preparing for a comeback later this summer! ARTMS has a more mature, cryptic, alternative sound while Loossemble is more bubbly and high teen. They honestly reflect the two sides of LOONA.
Thanks so much for checking out ARTMS!! ARTMS is a project group under MODHAUS, consisting of HeeJin, HaSeul, Kim Lip, JinSoul, and Choerry. On May 31, 2024, the first full-length album and the music video for their title track "Virtual Angel" is scheduled for release. Birth was their first pre-release song to introduce the album, and since then they have released 3 other pre-release music videos that are part of the album which I recommend to check out! The girls are also members of LOONA, a 12-member girl group renowned for their unique, genre-defying dreamy sound and their extensive lore known as the LOONAVERSE. Birth is an example of LOONA's experimentalism and cinematography, but the song and music video is something never seen before in K-pop. Due to mistreatment and disputes with their former company, all 12 members of LOONA left and signed contracts with new companies to create new music. 5 girls formed ARTMS, another 5 became LOOSSEMBLE, and Chuu & Yves became soloists! I highly recommend to check out their music too!
Dreamcatcherrrrrr! they had a whole nightmare era, 7 albums focusing on the nightmare story/lore they told. Now it changes to different lores, from online bullying and fighting back on that, to saving the world XD
You want more MAMAMOO, check out their KILLING VOICE! They ARE the vocal powerhouse group in kpop. And you are absolutely correct, MAMAMOO is that group that does what they want, when they want and how they want! And Mamamoo's fandom is called "MOOMOO"
XG is a 7 member Japanese global girl group aged currently 18-22 formed by XGALX. XG is completely fluent in Korean and Japanese but they choose to sing/rap in English because they are a Global Girl Group. Fandom is called ALPHAZ because the leader of a pack of wolves is called the Alpha. They have already performed concerts in USA, Japan, China, Australia, Singapore, etc
I would argue, as well, that Mascara is probably their weakest release... XG is just a fuckin' BEAST of a group. Coco's recent iconic move in 'Woke Up' MV is just going nuts. Their entire concept is... "Be Unique, be you, make waves, you Alien Alpha Wolf!" They are also just wholely hip-hop, R&B from like the 90s-2000s.
in the red velevet chill kill they were kidnapped as little girls and raised like sisters by the man that was cutout in the picture at the beginning. After Wendy killed him, and the others covered it all up, by burning the house, the police caught them (but i don't think they arrest them), all dressed with the clothes they we're last seen in
Wasnt the man their dad??, cuz Joy crying after the man is dead and rage cleaning or wtv dosent seem to fit in my opinion w the kidnapping theory, i think its that the dad was abusive and so when Wendy decided to end the misery Joy got the guilt or sadness of a family member being gone, even if he was a horrible person to them.
Mamamoo our rainbow ambassadors, check out: Solar voguing with house of love in ‘colors’ performance video from her mini that was released 4 weeks ago; other than that she has power vocals as exhibited in ‘blues’. And she’s also just stunning, look at the visuals in ‘honey’. Solar is the queen of unconventional concepts and she has had a UA-cam channel for 5 years btw; it’s called ‘solarsido’. Moonbyul has a sapphic anthem called ‘shutdown’ ft seori; lyrics are important here and remember she wrote them herself. Btw moonbyul is the most credited female idol - Queen. Furthermore I recommend songs like ‘touchin&movin’ & ‘eclipse’. Moonbyul might be the rapper of the group but don’t be fooled, girly can sing (her cover of ‘refuge’… I cry every time). Wheein has the smoothest honey vocals, her latest title track is ‘in the mood’ from the full album of the same name. There is not a single bad song from Wheein. ‘In the mood’ (as in the album) just sends you to heaven; it’s so cohesive, it’s non skip 100%. So while I recommend title tracks like ‘watercolor’, her bsides are so good, better listen to those too. Queen Hwasa has many bangers like ‘maria’ and ‘twit’ but I also recommend ‘don’t’ a song with Loco. She has a super sultry voice and a very sexy stage presence, however off stage Hyejinie is such a soft-hearted person (Hyejin is her real name btw). I personally also really like ‘be calm’, it’s her solo song on Mamamoo’s ‘yellow flower’ album. As for group activities: they were on their first world tour last year accompanying the release of their 12th mini album ’mic on’ with title track ‘illella’. On the 19th this month will be their 10th anniversary as a group. There are too many songs I could recommend so for now I’ll keep the list short: ‘egotistic’, ‘aya’, ‘wind flower’, ‘starry night’, ‘decalcomanie’, ‘um oh ah yeah’ Someone has probably already mentioned their killing voice video to get a first introduction to their discography. There is also the immortal songs medley (which k*lls me every time). For an introduction to their personalities, purple hawks guide is a great starting point.
XG has some of the most UNIQUE voices I’ve heard! Especially Harvey and Coco! Cocona has that deep tone and Harvey has VERY high pitched tone! You can NOT love their voices! 🫠😩🫠
Idk if anyone mentioned this but 'nxde' is specifically spelt like that because before in korea it would show inappropriate pictures of young girls/kids if you searched it like that, it was titled that to mess with the internet search results to show (G)I-DLE instead, its also a huge reason why the song was written
@@LaurelRothamel @pint_oh also! (g)i-dle is pronounced as /ai deul/ which is the same way that you would pronounce the korean word for both idol AND children so having their song named this way messed with those searches considerably and i applaud them so much for it
omggg i’m so glad you reacted to XG ! i really hope you react to more of their music bc they touch a LOT of different genres and i believe you would really like it !
I’m so glad you loved Mamamoo & XG!!! They are my ult groups, so I love seeing people fall in love with their talent too!!😌 Definitely check out Mamamoos Killing Voice medley on Dingo, it’s such a great intro to their discography & immense talent 😆, I get chills every time I watch it!! And for XG I would recommend the Hesonoo & Xgene performance video, as well as their recent XG Tape 4’s and XG Vox 6 ✨✨
25:00 Sweet Juice is so sapphic-coded fr. And it was written by Goeun and Yuki! Thank you for appreciating Purple kiss💜 They're so talented and amazing
( I am skipping around I can't help myself 😭😭) 1:03:33 "Shattered" you say... Dreamcatcher has a song called Shatter with a performance video, HIGHLY recommend
"these women are lesbian coded" i would say moonbyul's (rapper) song "shutdown" is a tad more than lesbian coded ALSO im not an avid follower of mamamoo's stuff (i just highly respect them as we all should) but ive heard solar's latest solo has basically been a love letter to the lgbtq+ community and she performed with drag queens on korean television!! (someone correct me on any details if needed lol)
Mamamoo did indeed performe in 2016 on a award show with *gender fluid dancers and Solar has had collabs with drag queens before -HIP MV and on her UA-cam channel. But if you're talking about her music show performances for 'Colors' she had House of Love/Love Ran, a kiki house queer dance group(?!), choreographing a full on voguing number for her self composed/written/produced song inspired by the queer culture, giving them total liberty to express and show themselves on the MV
Deukae vocal tones indeed, also dami did a reaction to youtube reactors thing as well as the other members and they watch alot of youtube reactors so they might be watching this too, who knows. Aside from deukae, sweetjuice is underrated, artms birth is also so different, the kind of difference that got me into deukae, dark and unique
Arrghhh Queen Bibi!!!! She scratches my horror itch. I don't know if it's intentional, but the title screens remind me of the opening of Hanake's Funny Games. The ending song over the credits is Wet Nightmare
I'm so glad you finally had the chance to react to MAMAMOO!! I've seen everyone recommend the Killing Voice and rightfully so! It gives off tiny snippets of each of their title tracks up to AYA along with some b-sides. But if you only want to react to title tracks, here are some of my favorites: Egotistic, Decalcomanie, Piano Man, Mr Ambiguous (their debut) and ILLELA And for solo stuff I really recommend Solar's Honey and latest comeback's Colors, Hwasa's I'm a b and Maria, Wheein's Watercolor and In The Mood and Moonbyul's Shutdown (literal lesbian anthem) and either her latest comeback Touchin & Movin or Lunatic
1:08:45 artms reaction :) I loved your reaction! this is exactly what I'd expect to someone who doesn't know anything about artms... and if you feel all this way, mission accomplished! this girls have more history in the back if you whant to look up! I recommend you Loosemble, Chuu and Yves, this lastest were all part of LOONA = artms, loosemble, chuu and Yves :D so far for me, this is the best casting of kpop singers I ever seen, it is like this girls give me as much material as I need xD thansk for put them in your reaction :) PD: if you go to ua-cam.com/video/QJHuEYQlVmc/v-deo.html min 7.55 they talk about lip performing the intro and how good she deal with the Idea of Jaden expect ♥
Birth is one (of many) pre-releases leading up to ARTMS' debut on the 31st! The 5 girls are members of Loona, who even after leaving their horrible company, decided to stay together (there is another group with 5 Loona girls and 2 soloists, but I'm just glad they all decided to stay in the industry after how Blockberry Creative treated them)
you actually would have loved Chuu's Heart Attack 😭😭the MV is SO SAPPHIC and it was played at the 2018 Pride Parade in Korea, but Orbits (Loona fans) have been boycotting for a while so their ex-company doesn't get extra money to sue them even more, so we've just been using the podcasts on Spotify and the Google Drive which makes it a little more difficult to watch
BIBI is the undefeatable queen to me. She is _everything._ Her music makes me feel the feelings and her MVs are always done so good - the attention to details and all the slightly hidden plot hints (if the MV has them) are on another level. BIBI Vengeance is another most recognised by K-pop fans song of hers, and they absolutely loved it. I, however, despite also loving it with my whole heart, absolutely must recommend you to watch the KAZINO MV. It without a doubt has been one of my favourite BIBI music videos ever since it was released, as well as it being my most favourite and listened to song of hers overall. I would honestly also add Blade, Sweet Sorrow of Mother, Motospeed 24 and Jotto to the must-watch list of BIBI's MVs. Jotto is that one alarmingly underrated gem with a topic that not a lot of artists in K-pop would dare to talk about (due to various reasons, and I am not blaming them).
45:31 😂😂You have NO IDEA how spot on that is, so much so the fandom(moomoo) was the first queer fandom(rainbow moomoo) to raise funds for seoul pride and other lgbtq+ causes in korea and all the members are pretty active allies! From collabing with queer performers, to featuring clearly sapphic/wlw storyline on their mv and/or song, and it's not just for show, they are very honest and consistent with everything they do and stand for. Truly a GROWN WOMEN group😌🤌
Bibi- Vengeance Mamamoo- man so many i cant choose, plus their live stages are phenomenal, watch their immortal song medley XG- Left Right, Shooting star, Girl GVNG, New Dance, Woke up, TGIF
wanting to know more about ARMTS opens a whole rabbit hole of Loona creepy, intriguing, and complex lore and 12 talented girls that break kpop boundaries. I hope one day you can dive in, it's super fun!
I have been into K-pop especially gg for years, even though I have heard all these songs many times i still love watching reactions to them! It shows me new perspectives of the song and even detail that I wouldn’t have thought of alone. Nxde made me literally cry for the first time today , what a frickin song and message. WOW!!!!
In BEcause, Dreamcatcher are outdoing themselves once again. Musically, the song is a fantastic journey. There actually are "cute" parts, but there also are parts where the guitars go full metal. The variations in BEcause remind me of their previous masterpiece, Deja Vu. The bridge with SuA's slow rap and Yoohyeon's backing vocals is possibly the most beautiful one they have ever done. About the meaning: According to Dami, BEcause is about love becoming obsession. And also, this is a stand-alone story. They go back to their horror roots, which I really enjoy. They noted that if you look at "BE" as a written Chinese character "悲“, that would mean "sadness". So the song title would mean "The Cause of Sadness". And that would make the lyric "because I like you" to maybe mean "the cause of sadness is I like you". The video picks up on that. JiU seems to be the puppet master here (or her doppelganger!). She is the one trapping the other members and turning them into puppets, but Gahyeon tries to escape (as you can see by her throwing off the cage right in the beginning). It seems JiU catches her again though, "because she likes her". And I didn't even touch on the references to the movie "Us" yet, there is so much going on. The lyrics are even creepier. SuA sings: "Your face turns blue, blue. Your expression is like ocean view.", hinting at strangulation due to the one being obsessed taking things way, way too far. Dreamcatcher are clearly not afraid to tackle the difficult subjects, and they do it masterfully here - again. For me, this is more than just pop, it is art.
MAMAMOO IS THE DEFINITION OF SELF LOVE, VOCAL AND BADASS QUEENSSSSS!!! YOU NEEEEEEEED TO CHECK OUT MORE FROM THEM! I suggest u check out their songs Decalcomanie, egotistic and words don't come easy.
WE. NEED. MORE. BIBI. REACTIONS. 🙏 I haven’t seen ANYONE having THAT good of a reaction to her mv and trust me there’s a lot of good ones out there but yours is definitely IT 🫡
ARTMS is a 5 member group that consists of former LOONA members Kim Lip, Heejin, Choerry, Haseul, and Jinsoul. Birth is a pre-release for their upcoming album "DALL" there are a few more pre release tracks that they have dropped (candy crush, air, flower rhythm). LOONA was a 12 member girl group under a company called BBC (Blockberry Creative). BBC got exposed for not paying members and abusing them with harsh diets, not letting them outside, and other various things, BBC created a debt contract causing them to lose money when it should be earned. LOONA member chuu sued BBC for a better contract and won, though Chuu was still in LOONA she was unable to attend various concerts and schedules and fans of LOONA (orbits) wondered why. A few weeks later it was announced chuu was kicked out of loona by BBC for "abusive behavior" which was obviously a lie. After chuu was kicked BBC tried to use damage control and reveal a comeback in the works but orbits didn't allow this and boycotted the comeback and company which meant no streaming songs, no engaging in posts, no buying member texting subscriptions. But the boycott was the most successful boycott in kpop history having an album sale drop of 98%. The members filed for injunctions to leave BBC and LOONA and all members won!!!! 5 members were formed as ARTMS, another 5 as LOOSSEMBLE, and Chuu & Yves went solo. Though LOONA members left they are still considered LOONA and still call themselves LOONA, a court case that came out a while ago stated that ARTMS and LOOSSEMBLE are considered subunits of LOONA since the name LOONA is attached to the members, not the company. Their whole story is crazy but I'm glad they are working in places they want to be with fair treatment😁😁
For Dreamcatcher you just need to do a whole marathon. Dreamcatcher is like a black hole, once you get in, you won't come out. That's literally a quote from Jiu, Dreamcatcher's leader
I absolutely LOVE that you watched/reacted to my three favorite groups(Mamamoo, XG, Dreamcatcher), where all three have the super low toned, cool swagger rapper(Moonbyul, Cocona, Dami), one after the other 👩🍳💋🤌
For XG you reacted to a much older song of theirs 1yr after they debuted. They have evolved to final boss mode since then. Their brand new MV that came out last week "Woke Up" was the #1 trending video worldwide the first 3 days after it released. Its still going viral even now at #3 worldwide music videos on its 6th day. Even hardcore YT Rap/HipHop reactors are totally mind blown by XG's first ever "all rap" track. You 100% need to check it out trust me you will be mind blown.
"That song! It's over... 😳" - exactly me 😆 Thank you by the way never heard about ARTMS before - will go into their rabbit hole I think ))) And great reactions, you are noticing a lot of good stuff and know how to respectfully appreciate women 🤝 About interesting and unique K-artists, recently discovered for myself Seori, she has great voice which is distinct and different from others ))) Also she collaborated with Moonbyul (from MAMAMOO) on Shutdown - it is one of my fave songs now, it is heavelly (and heavenly) WLW centric, which was done intentional by Moonbyul - so we love our Queen for that even more ))) Seori - Trigger Highly recommend for starter it s not just song and MV - it is an art IMHO ))) Lovers in the night and Hairdryer great songs and MVs too and she is pushing Queer representation in her MVs (even though it's highly censored in South Korea) which I highly appreciate)) Seori - Can't Stop This Party is a whole vibe too )))
Hiiiiiii Dreamcatcher!!!🤩✨my favorite female group I love them because their style is different from the others they play rock I love the guitars they put on they deserve to be better known
oh i so badly need to see you get into loona in general but especially the music the girls have released since being released from their awful ex-company 😭 so far all of them (chuu, artms, odd eye circle (also apart of artms), and loossemble) have released music since parting ways with their old company besides yves but she’s releasing her ep called ‘loop’ in a 2 days !!
A lot of neverlands (g idle fandom) believe that the little animated girl in the nxde video is actually representing soojin bc she has always loved Marilyn Monroe.
Honeyyy, we definitely need a DREAMCATCHER DEEP DIVE!! Love all the girlies in this video but DC and MAMAMOO (and now XG) are my ult girl groups. Since you like vocals, Mamamoo live is a must, they are known for their vocals, we call them vocal queens (and is not an exaggeration haha). Purple Kiss always goes back and forth with dark and more playful concepts but unfortunately, they are the real underrated group, def need more attention!! ARTMS Birth was everything that I needed, as someone who love experimental sound it was love at first listen, the most beautiful and dark surprise.
Some Call Her The Shadow Warrior , Some Call Her The Dark Knight , Some Call Her The Rebel Angel . She is a Guardian of Dreams , " She is and They are the first and always" , Eternal Legendary Dreamcatcher
About XG : XG (Xtraordinary Girls) is a global group under XGALX which is a subsidiary of AVEX. The group has Japanese members. The group is composed of 7 members : Chisa, Maya, Hinata, Jurin (Leader), Juria, Harvey and Cocona (The youngest member of the group). XG debuted on March 18, 2022 with 'Tippy Toes' Music Video.
When Queendom (the show) comes back, purple kiss needs to be a contestant. I can’t stand for the GP to be missing out on all this talent. No no no, purple kiss to the world fr
i am so happy for all the reactions (bc i love them all dearly), but i am especially happy that sweet juice got some recognition because its such a great mv, such great outfits, the choreo SLAPS, the vocals - hello?? and the song overall is so hauntingly beautiful, it was my most listened song last year and i do not regret a single second i am thrilled to see more reactions of all of these girlies in the future ^^
OMG, I JUST FREAKING LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT MAMAMOO AND PURPLE KISS!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE A MORE REACTION VIDEOS TO THEM. WHATEVER SONG CHOOSE WILL BE AWESOME!!! FOR ME, THEIR SONGS ARE JUST MASTERPIECES!!!
I havent even watched yet and I KNOW. This video IS ABOUT TO SLAAAAAAAY!!! Ive been waiting for thiiiiiisssssss!!!!! I love lorl, and I love kpop GGs!!!
Wow both of my worlds colliding, I've seen your growth since the mixer days, I hope you continue with XG they recently had a hit release called Woke Up, what you reacted to was from their debut year but their sound has shifted towards either Hip-hop/R&B or both at the same time they blew up last year with shooting star and Left Right. Though the message is still the same women empowerment
WOW, I CLICKED SO FAST WHEN I SAW THE NOTIFICATION! Girl you think you're giddy, nah I am giddy I am so happy that you got into more of our girls- let's just say you ain't ready (also sorry for the long comment, and sorry I had to skip ARTMS I haven't checked them out yet but I will). But nah you really said let's go with horror/powerful women today, and I LOVE IT! BIBI is just amazing one of the most underrated soloists I feel like, she is insane- you should DEFINITELY check out more of her stuff plus she did this live performance called Best Lover and let me just say the Gay panic is REAL, definitely check that out real soon (and she did it multiple times). Red Velvet girl you need to do a DEEP dive of them because man are they something else (you were kind of right their music videos are always weird and or they are trying to kill of a guy and or each other), you should also check out Wendy's other songs you'll love them (definitely my favorite Vocalist in K - Pop just everything about her voice and vocal colors, girl legit can change her voice so much- not to mention girl can rap as well, she actually did rap a little in this song) she did a Live performance and video of her singing Light Me Up (which is one of Red Velvets older songs) but she switched up the lyrics a little- let's just say girl is a Bi-Con. Also don't know if you noticed but the video is actually about these girls (either sisters or they are friends who've gotten very close like sisters) who got kidnapped and abused for a long time until they couldn't take it no more and that's when we see Wendy kill the guy- they all kind of panic, especially Joy (that is the girl you've been talking about), and at the end when they got caught they decide that it's okay as long as they are together- and if anything it's better than being with that guy. You should also check out their Killing Voice as well it was AWESOME (same with Mamamoo and (G) I-DLE's), and definitely check out a guide to them as well, either the (Un)helpful guide to Red Velvet Early 2021, or the A hopefully comprehensive guide to Red Velvet Queendom Era (those are the best ones but if you want you can do something newer)! Purple Kiss is one of the most underrated groups not going to lie, they are PHENOMENAL- I am so glad that you put Sweet Juice in here. You should definitely check out either Nerdy or Ponzona (debut) next, but to be fair they never miss- though sadly one of the Members did leave the group (Jieun) due to health reasons I believe, which I hope she is doing well we miss you Jieun! Also the girl you were talking about with the dress and facial expressions was Chaein. And no same every time Swan comes on I just melt- which by the way she actually did the guide vocals for Mamamoo's Wind Flower. Aespa this song legit not many people like it but I LOVE IT, one of my favorites from them no joke but there is a story to it (it goes Black Mamba, Next Level, Savage, and then Girls I believe) and the girl that you were commenting on (the one that sang the friend lyric and had crazy vocals) was NingNing the Main Vocalist and Maknae, the one that hit the crazy high note and had the katana was Winter, the one with the purple hair that beat that person up was Karina, and the one who was going off and rapping a lot was Giselle. Also yes I heard Donald Trump as well and it makes me giggle every time- this is just the start of these misheard lyrics (for an example like Twice's Heart Shaker the chorus literally sounds like they are saying "Is Sana Gay?!" Which is even more funny because one of the Members her name is Sana and not to mention she is the Gayest Member! 😆) Oh girl you're in for a RIDE with Mamamoo I'm just kind of glad (but also wish you watched it instead) you didn't check out Egotistic instead because I feel like you'd be dead right now (very sexy music video). Hip is actually to the haters I believe (That's why you see "President Hwasa" on screen before that came out she went to the airport in an outfit and people hated on her for it), also the rapper that has a lot of charisma (which actually every girl falls for her do you aren't wrong) is Moonbyul or Moonstar (because Byul translates to Star in English), the girl who was painting in the suit and had the hippie outfit on with the soft vocals was Wheein, and the one in the boxer fit and the half and half look was Solar. Which by the way funny that you say they are Lesbian coded because no joke most of their fans are women, they legit have a Music Video of Solar falling for Moon and Hwasa falling for Solar, not to mention they also were rocking out with Drag Queens in the music video. If you decide to check out a guide to them definitely check out the Purple Hawke one and if you want more of them check out their Starry Night, Egotistic, ILLELLA, and Um Oh Ah Yeh videos, they have so many bangers you can't go wrong with them! XG is just a PHENOMENAL group, they are actually known as a Global Group and or X - Pop. They are all Japanese, they all sing (usually) in English and their company is in Korea that always amazes me, they all can sing, rap, and dance like crazy not to mention they are all STUNNING! Also same girl Chisa's "Fix your crown" always hits just beautifully, and the girl you talked about who was in the middle with the fierce look was Cocona who is actuslly the youngest in the group! Gaycatcher- I mean Dreamcatcher are always popping off they are just AMAZING and the way at the beginning you just fell in love with every girl that came on screen is SO relatable you should DEFINITELY check out more of them as well because they are always coming out with bangers not to mention they also have great covers as well (you should check out some of their Gay Moments I'm not kidding when they are literally nicknamed Gaycatcher). And if you want a guide to them as well I recommend the Extensive Guide to Dreamcatcher 2023, there are others that are great but can't remember them right now (also we need a Moonbyul, Dami and Yuqi collab just imagine-) and just wanted to say thank you for talking about Handong's vocals/note on the bridge, she is so underrated! The fact that I am wearing a Marilyn Monroe shirt is so funny, (G) I-DLE KILLED it with this one not going to lie one of my favorites from them they all killed it (though I think it might be Shuhua's era because not only does her voice sound so good but this was the first time she dyed her hair), the message, the vocals, the visuals, the rap, the dance everything was AMAZING! Also that cartoon girl we kept seeing I believe was supposed to be Soojin who was a member of (G) I-DLE until CUBE decided that they should kick her out (because of bully accusations that were clearly false) still very mad about that because you can tell the girls (especially Shuhua) are still upset about that, you can just tell that there is something missing! Again if you want a great guide definitely check out the An (un)helpful guide to (G)I-DLE updated version 2021. Anyways I can't wait for more Content from you and I hope that you are doing well and staying safe and healthy Laurel, again sorry for the long comment! P.S. If you ever need any good Videos I could totally help you out if you need it. Also if you want more horror I recommend you a group called PIXY a very underrated group and their concept is AMAZING, I also recommend Sunmi (get your water ready), more IU, Chungha, Taeyeon, Seori (underrated I definitely recommend Lovers in The Night, she kind of reminds me of Billie Eilish in a way), Jiae (also underrated and is openly Bisexual), Hyoyeon, BoA, Somi, and many more!
Mamamoo recommendations: Piano man, Mr Ambiguous, Egotistic, Decalcomanie, Starry Night, Yes I am, Aya Live performances: all of their Immortal songs 2 performances, the immortal songs medley, killing voice, basically all their live performances on anything lol
** EDIT** Hey Y'all I want to apologize for not knowing XG isn't Kpop, I was only going off of y'all recommendations in my discord / stream, and that was not explained to me til now! They still slayed though!
DISCLAIMER REMINDER: I pause / rewind a lot in order take in each full video respectfully in one sitting! ENJOY xoxox

No IVE reaction?
mamamoo known in the industry as vocal powers..all have successful solo careers too. Their theme and style is more fierce, confident be yourself woman. Check out mamamoo "egotistical" its very sexy coded though. Mamamoo doesn't like cute style and hate lip sync singing as u say they do themselves. If you want to truly hear the amazing vocals of each member..have to react to mamamoo on killing voice on dingo..live medley of their hits. Amazing.
must watch mamamoo on immortal songs meddley..its live meddley of old classics..they sing live and show u their swag/stage presence/vocals and all live ..
hope to see WJSN on your list.
PLEASE REACT TO ITZYYYY your gonna love them istg
saying mamamoo is lesbian coded is the most real thing in the world. on that note, you should react to Moonbyul's (rapper) song Shutdown. straight up lesbian song
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH YEAH YEAH
Lesbian coded is a strong statement 💀
wheein - goodbye too
@@denofgames2072nah it's pretty accurate
Moonbyul has the title of "The Nation's Girlcrush" for a reason. And her statement "When I found out Seori agreed I said it needed to be racy. I wanted to do a racy song with Seori." Mamamoo is very boundary pushing in the Kpop world. From Tiktok challenges, to Pole dancing on award shows, drag back up dancers, outright wearing their LGBTQ Fan group pins on stage, to Solar ripping open her shirt on stage "Because it looked like the guys had fun doing it." They've blazed trails so groups can do stuff today.
bibi is bisexual! also mamamoo is openly supportive of the lgbtq community! they’re really supportive of self love, hwasa once said that if she doesn’t fit the current beauty standard, she will make a new one 💗

oh bibi is bisexual?? truly icon i love her sm
@@taskotami yeah, she kissed a female fan during a concert! (idk but as a bisexual woman that’s pretty well… gay)
@@taskotami yess!!
so are loona! aka artms
@taskotami I mean, just being lgbt doesn't make you an icon, it's the individual, not the sexuality, we should strive to go to an place in society where sexuality doesn't matter that much and it's just a "oh, you are bi?cool, doesn't change anything to how I see you tho"
I would be more okay with you praising her for coming out as bi in a country and industry that is very against it, that is awesome and iconic, but just being bi, no, we should not celebrate any sexuality more than another in my opinion
Song recommendations:
1. Deja Vu - Dreamcatcher
2. Oh My God - G-Idle
3. Girls Never Die - tripleS
4. Shutdown - Moonbyul
5. Woke Up - XG
6. Nothing / Midas Touch - Kiss of Life
7. Freak - Yuqi
YES!
UP!!!
YASSS
Yess
Bibi Jotto
I JUST DIED AT THE "these women are lesbian coded" LIKE IT TOOK HER WHAT? 30 SECONDS
Clocked them quick asf
Mamamoo is lesbian coded??? Tell me it isn't so
Saying Mamamoo will not do what others want them to do is so real - most recently Solar getting ballroom dancers and voguing in Colours all over the Korean music shows is such a power move!
Your reaction to Moonbyul was so real lmaoooo
YESSSS ARTMS tyyyy for reacting to them they truly are doing something really unique in kpop rn and they are SO underrated for it. They're actually a subgroup of LOONA if you've heard of them. LOONA was also an amazing and unique group but they're management was treating them horribly so LOONA has since split off into sub groups and solos under different companies but the members have made it clear that they're still LOONA! ARTMS (as in the goddess of the moon/hunt) features five of the 12 LOONA girls and they're debuting with a full album on the 31st. Loossemble (LOONA Assemble) is the other sister group and just had their comeback. Chuu and Yves are the two members who have gone solo and Yves' debut is the 29th while Chuu is preparing for a comeback later this summer! ARTMS has a more mature, cryptic, alternative sound while Loossemble is more bubbly and high teen. They honestly reflect the two sides of LOONA.
Thanks so much for checking out ARTMS!! ARTMS is a project group under MODHAUS, consisting of HeeJin, HaSeul, Kim Lip, JinSoul, and Choerry. On May 31, 2024, the first full-length album and the music video for their title track "Virtual Angel" is scheduled for release. Birth was their first pre-release song to introduce the album, and since then they have released 3 other pre-release music videos that are part of the album which I recommend to check out! The girls are also members of LOONA, a 12-member girl group renowned for their unique, genre-defying dreamy sound and their extensive lore known as the LOONAVERSE. Birth is an example of LOONA's experimentalism and cinematography, but the song and music video is something never seen before in K-pop. Due to mistreatment and disputes with their former company, all 12 members of LOONA left and signed contracts with new companies to create new music. 5 girls formed ARTMS, another 5 became LOOSSEMBLE, and Chuu & Yves became soloists! I highly recommend to check out their music too!
58:09 “Her voice is butter… and hers is light butter” is the best way I’ve heard someone describe the XG Chisa-Juria combo
Fun fact… Bibi was introduced to the world on a TV competition show and wowed the audience and judges by covering 2 of Red Velvet songs. 👍
And in this show tiger JK met him
I’m begging “super lady” by gidle please
@@valik-v2059she already reacted to it
2:19 - Bibi - Animal farm
12:07 - Red velvet - Chill kill
22:13 - Purple kiss - Sweet juice
32:57 - Aespa - Girls
43:35 - Mamamoo - Hip
53:20 - XG - Mascara

Gracias ❤❤❤❤
thank you so much🙏
Mamamoo and purple kiss in the same company, that’s why they are both good with vocals and concept ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Dreamcatcherrrrrr! they had a whole nightmare era, 7 albums focusing on the nightmare story/lore they told. Now it changes to different lores, from online bullying and fighting back on that, to saving the world XD
You want more MAMAMOO, check out their KILLING VOICE!
They ARE the vocal powerhouse group in kpop. And you are absolutely correct, MAMAMOO is that group that does what they want, when they want and how they want! And Mamamoo's fandom is called "MOOMOO"
for the last line of nxde it’s actually “the pervert is you” which i feel like gives the line an even bigger kick
we really need a Dreamcatcher marathon
Omg yes!
She'd need to start with when they first debuted as MINX👍🏻
XG is a 7 member Japanese global girl group aged currently 18-22 formed by XGALX.
XG is completely fluent in Korean and Japanese but they choose to sing/rap in English because they are a Global Girl Group.
Fandom is called ALPHAZ because the leader of a pack of wolves is called the Alpha.
They have already performed concerts in USA, Japan, China, Australia, Singapore, etc
I would argue, as well, that Mascara is probably their weakest release... XG is just a fuckin' BEAST of a group. Coco's recent iconic move in 'Woke Up' MV is just going nuts. Their entire concept is... "Be Unique, be you, make waves, you Alien Alpha Wolf!" They are also just wholely hip-hop, R&B from like the 90s-2000s.
I cannot waaaaaaiybfor Laurel to see Woke Up. 😈 Especially after the moment Laurel had over Cocona. ❤️🔥
@@robertstewart3325I like mascara but only cocona, chisa and juria part.
@@evelynngrace9054 Oh I like Mascara fine I'm just saying it's probably their weakest. And that's what I mean they're frikkin' dope.
@@robertstewart3325 No hate to Mascara but I also think it is XG's weakest release.
in the red velevet chill kill they were kidnapped as little girls and raised like sisters by the man that was cutout in the picture at the beginning. After Wendy killed him, and the others covered it all up, by burning the house, the police caught them (but i don't think they arrest them), all dressed with the clothes they we're last seen in
Wasnt the man their dad??, cuz Joy crying after the man is dead and rage cleaning or wtv dosent seem to fit in my opinion w the kidnapping theory, i think its that the dad was abusive and so when Wendy decided to end the misery Joy got the guilt or sadness of a family member being gone, even if he was a horrible person to them.
omg ARTMS my Loona girlies
it is pronounced Artemis you were right!
I love *Dreamcatcher.* I love their tracks/songs. Their concept is amazing. Their discography is top-tier. Their MVs are awesome.
Mamamoo our rainbow ambassadors, check out:
Solar voguing with house of love in ‘colors’ performance video from her mini that was released 4 weeks ago; other than that she has power vocals as exhibited in ‘blues’. And she’s also just stunning, look at the visuals in ‘honey’. Solar is the queen of unconventional concepts and she has had a UA-cam channel for 5 years btw; it’s called ‘solarsido’.
Moonbyul has a sapphic anthem called ‘shutdown’ ft seori; lyrics are important here and remember she wrote them herself. Btw moonbyul is the most credited female idol - Queen. Furthermore I recommend songs like ‘touchin&movin’ & ‘eclipse’. Moonbyul might be the rapper of the group but don’t be fooled, girly can sing (her cover of ‘refuge’… I cry every time).
Wheein has the smoothest honey vocals, her latest title track is ‘in the mood’ from the full album of the same name. There is not a single bad song from Wheein. ‘In the mood’ (as in the album) just sends you to heaven; it’s so cohesive, it’s non skip 100%. So while I recommend title tracks like ‘watercolor’, her bsides are so good, better listen to those too.
Queen Hwasa has many bangers like ‘maria’ and ‘twit’ but I also recommend ‘don’t’ a song with Loco. She has a super sultry voice and a very sexy stage presence, however off stage Hyejinie is such a soft-hearted person (Hyejin is her real name btw). I personally also really like ‘be calm’, it’s her solo song on Mamamoo’s ‘yellow flower’ album.
As for group activities: they were on their first world tour last year accompanying the release of their 12th mini album ’mic on’ with title track ‘illella’. On the 19th this month will be their 10th anniversary as a group.
There are too many songs I could recommend so for now I’ll keep the list short: ‘egotistic’, ‘aya’, ‘wind flower’, ‘starry night’, ‘decalcomanie’, ‘um oh ah yeah’
Someone has probably already mentioned their killing voice video to get a first introduction to their discography. There is also the immortal songs medley (which k*lls me every time). For an introduction to their personalities, purple hawks guide is a great starting point.
XG has some of the most UNIQUE voices I’ve heard! Especially Harvey and Coco! Cocona has that deep tone and Harvey has VERY high pitched tone! You can NOT love their voices! 🫠😩🫠
Yesss Purple Kiss and Mamamoo! LOVE our RBW Queens!!!
Idk if anyone mentioned this but 'nxde' is specifically spelt like that because before in korea it would show inappropriate pictures of young girls/kids if you searched it like that, it was titled that to mess with the internet search results to show (G)I-DLE instead, its also a huge reason why the song was written
Omg?!
@@LaurelRothamel yeahhh I remember hearing about it, so I searched it to be 100% sure, and it sadly was
I was hoping someone would have mentioned this in the comments! 👏
@@LaurelRothamel @pint_oh also! (g)i-dle is pronounced as /ai deul/ which is the same way that you would pronounce the korean word for both idol AND children so having their song named this way messed with those searches considerably and i applaud them so much for it
43:10
If you're here for
MAMAMOO!! ♥
Thank you!!!
Girl Groups deserve more recognition!! Women are so freakin' awesome! ❤
omggg i’m so glad you reacted to XG ! i really hope you react to more of their music bc they touch a LOT of different genres and i believe you would really like it !
Dreamcatchers "BEcause" is loosely based and inspired by Jordan Peele's movie US..
I’m so glad you loved Mamamoo & XG!!! They are my ult groups, so I love seeing people fall in love with their talent too!!😌
Definitely check out Mamamoos Killing Voice medley on Dingo, it’s such a great intro to their discography & immense talent 😆, I get chills every time I watch it!! And for XG I would recommend the Hesonoo & Xgene performance video, as well as their recent XG Tape 4’s and XG Vox 6 ✨✨
YES MAMAMOO, Please we need more reactions to mamamoo, they are the Vocal queens
“Her voice is butter and her voice is lightly whipped.” you, ma’am, earned a subscriber.
Mamamoo, my queens! Plus their group introduction is beautiful!
XG!!!!
Japanese
7 Rappers 7 Vocalists 7 Dancers.
👽 🐺
25:00 Sweet Juice is so sapphic-coded fr. And it was written by Goeun and Yuki!
Thank you for appreciating Purple kiss💜 They're so talented and amazing
you need more of BIBI in your life girl
( I am skipping around I can't help myself 😭😭) 1:03:33 "Shattered" you say... Dreamcatcher has a song called Shatter with a performance video, HIGHLY recommend
Not sure they would survive that one.
Purple Kiss! My underrated queens
"these women are lesbian coded" i would say moonbyul's (rapper) song "shutdown" is a tad more than lesbian coded ALSO im not an avid follower of mamamoo's stuff (i just highly respect them as we all should) but ive heard solar's latest solo has basically been a love letter to the lgbtq+ community and she performed with drag queens on korean television!! (someone correct me on any details if needed lol)
Mamamoo did indeed performe in 2016 on a award show with *gender fluid dancers and Solar has had collabs with drag queens before -HIP MV and on her UA-cam channel.
But if you're talking about her music show performances for 'Colors' she had House of Love/Love Ran, a kiki house queer dance group(?!), choreographing a full on voguing number for her self composed/written/produced song inspired by the queer culture, giving them total liberty to express and show themselves on the MV
Checked description, saw Red Velvet and Dreamcatcher, clicked like before watching the video.
The one in Red Velvet you like with the cute outfits is Joy!!
at 18:54 from left to right it is Seulgi, Joy, Irene, Wendy and the Yeri
Deukae vocal tones indeed, also dami did a reaction to youtube reactors thing as well as the other members and they watch alot of youtube reactors so they might be watching this too, who knows. Aside from deukae, sweetjuice is underrated, artms birth is also so different, the kind of difference that got me into deukae, dark and unique
Arrghhh Queen Bibi!!!! She scratches my horror itch. I don't know if it's intentional, but the title screens remind me of the opening of Hanake's Funny Games. The ending song over the credits is Wet Nightmare
I'm so glad you finally had the chance to react to MAMAMOO!! I've seen everyone recommend the Killing Voice and rightfully so! It gives off tiny snippets of each of their title tracks up to AYA along with some b-sides. But if you only want to react to title tracks, here are some of my favorites:
Egotistic, Decalcomanie, Piano Man, Mr Ambiguous (their debut) and ILLELA
And for solo stuff I really recommend Solar's Honey and latest comeback's Colors, Hwasa's I'm a b and Maria, Wheein's Watercolor and In The Mood and Moonbyul's Shutdown (literal lesbian anthem) and either her latest comeback Touchin & Movin or Lunatic
1:08:45 artms reaction :)
I loved your reaction! this is exactly what I'd expect to someone who doesn't know anything about artms... and if you feel all this way, mission accomplished! this girls have more history in the back if you whant to look up! I recommend you Loosemble, Chuu and Yves, this lastest were all part of LOONA = artms, loosemble, chuu and Yves :D
so far for me, this is the best casting of kpop singers I ever seen, it is like this girls give me as much material as I need xD
thansk for put them in your reaction :)
PD: if you go to ua-cam.com/video/QJHuEYQlVmc/v-deo.html min 7.55 they talk about lip performing the intro and how good she deal with the Idea of Jaden expect ♥
Birth is one (of many) pre-releases leading up to ARTMS' debut on the 31st! The 5 girls are members of Loona, who even after leaving their horrible company, decided to stay together (there is another group with 5 Loona girls and 2 soloists, but I'm just glad they all decided to stay in the industry after how Blockberry Creative treated them)
you actually would have loved Chuu's Heart Attack 😭😭the MV is SO SAPPHIC and it was played at the 2018 Pride Parade in Korea, but Orbits (Loona fans) have been boycotting for a while so their ex-company doesn't get extra money to sue them even more, so we've just been using the podcasts on Spotify and the Google Drive which makes it a little more difficult to watch
1:03:29
Ironically, Dreamcatcher has a song named "Shatter" lol
If she reacts to Dreamcatcher's Shatter MV she'll pause and rewind a thousand times. Itll become a two hour video just on that performance video
BIBI is the undefeatable queen to me. She is _everything._ Her music makes me feel the feelings and her MVs are always done so good - the attention to details and all the slightly hidden plot hints (if the MV has them) are on another level.
BIBI Vengeance is another most recognised by K-pop fans song of hers, and they absolutely loved it. I, however, despite also loving it with my whole heart, absolutely must recommend you to watch the KAZINO MV.
It without a doubt has been one of my favourite BIBI music videos ever since it was released, as well as it being my most favourite and listened to song of hers overall.
I would honestly also add Blade, Sweet Sorrow of Mother, Motospeed 24 and Jotto to the must-watch list of BIBI's MVs. Jotto is that one alarmingly underrated gem with a topic that not a lot of artists in K-pop would dare to talk about (due to various reasons, and I am not blaming them).
45:31 😂😂You have NO IDEA how spot on that is, so much so the fandom(moomoo) was the first queer fandom(rainbow moomoo) to raise funds for seoul pride and other lgbtq+ causes in korea and all the members are pretty active allies! From collabing with queer performers, to featuring clearly sapphic/wlw storyline on their mv and/or song, and it's not just for show, they are very honest and consistent with everything they do and stand for. Truly a GROWN WOMEN group😌🤌
Bibi- Vengeance
Mamamoo- man so many i cant choose, plus their live stages are phenomenal, watch their immortal song medley
XG- Left Right, Shooting star, Girl GVNG, New Dance, Woke up, TGIF
wanting to know more about ARMTS opens a whole rabbit hole of Loona creepy, intriguing, and complex lore and 12 talented girls that break kpop boundaries. I hope one day you can dive in, it's super fun!
I have been into K-pop especially gg for years, even though I have heard all these songs many times i still love watching reactions to them! It shows me new perspectives of the song and even detail that I wouldn’t have thought of alone. Nxde made me literally cry for the first time today , what a frickin song and message. WOW!!!!
also yuqi's growl in nxde was an accident but soyeon liked it and kept it!
I’m so glad they kept it, it’s perfect.
In BEcause, Dreamcatcher are outdoing themselves once again. Musically, the song is a fantastic journey. There actually are "cute" parts, but there also are parts where the guitars go full metal. The variations in BEcause remind me of their previous masterpiece, Deja Vu. The bridge with SuA's slow rap and Yoohyeon's backing vocals is possibly the most beautiful one they have ever done.
About the meaning: According to Dami, BEcause is about love becoming obsession. And also, this is a stand-alone story. They go back to their horror roots, which I really enjoy. They noted that if you look at "BE" as a written Chinese character "悲“, that would mean "sadness". So the song title would mean "The Cause of Sadness". And that would make the lyric "because I like you" to maybe mean "the cause of sadness is I like you".
The video picks up on that. JiU seems to be the puppet master here (or her doppelganger!). She is the one trapping the other members and turning them into puppets, but Gahyeon tries to escape (as you can see by her throwing off the cage right in the beginning). It seems JiU catches her again though, "because she likes her". And I didn't even touch on the references to the movie "Us" yet, there is so much going on. The lyrics are even creepier. SuA sings: "Your face turns blue, blue. Your expression is like ocean view.", hinting at strangulation due to the one being obsessed taking things way, way too far. Dreamcatcher are clearly not afraid to tackle the difficult subjects, and they do it masterfully here - again. For me, this is more than just pop, it is art.
MAMAMOO IS THE DEFINITION OF SELF LOVE, VOCAL AND BADASS QUEENSSSSS!!! YOU NEEEEEEEED TO CHECK OUT MORE FROM THEM!
I suggest u check out their songs Decalcomanie, egotistic and words don't come easy.
dreamcatchers bridges are always life shattering but BEcause’s is extra insane… real true siren voices
Yasss Bibi!! ❤
MV recommendations:
The Weekend
Kazino
Life is a B...
Bibi Vengeance
Bam Yang Gang
im 3 minutes in and girlll you would love bibi revenge
Birth by ARTMS is still my SOTY so far and by a f**king landslide for real.
WE. NEED. MORE. BIBI. REACTIONS. 🙏 I haven’t seen ANYONE having THAT good of a reaction to her mv and trust me there’s a lot of good ones out there but yours is definitely IT 🫡
They have shared the stage with many Generations of idols ,
as the 5th gen idols enter the stage ,
the Flame of the Legendary Dreamcatcher ,
Burns on
Literally I remember them as MINX ❤
ARTMS is a 5 member group that consists of former LOONA members Kim Lip, Heejin, Choerry, Haseul, and Jinsoul. Birth is a pre-release for their upcoming album "DALL" there are a few more pre release tracks that they have dropped (candy crush, air, flower rhythm). LOONA was a 12 member girl group under a company called BBC (Blockberry Creative). BBC got exposed for not paying members and abusing them with harsh diets, not letting them outside, and other various things, BBC created a debt contract causing them to lose money when it should be earned. LOONA member chuu sued BBC for a better contract and won, though Chuu was still in LOONA she was unable to attend various concerts and schedules and fans of LOONA (orbits) wondered why. A few weeks later it was announced chuu was kicked out of loona by BBC for "abusive behavior" which was obviously a lie. After chuu was kicked BBC tried to use damage control and reveal a comeback in the works but orbits didn't allow this and boycotted the comeback and company which meant no streaming songs, no engaging in posts, no buying member texting subscriptions. But the boycott was the most successful boycott in kpop history having an album sale drop of 98%. The members filed for injunctions to leave BBC and LOONA and all members won!!!! 5 members were formed as ARTMS, another 5 as LOOSSEMBLE, and Chuu & Yves went solo. Though LOONA members left they are still considered LOONA and still call themselves LOONA, a court case that came out a while ago stated that ARTMS and LOOSSEMBLE are considered subunits of LOONA since the name LOONA is attached to the members, not the company. Their whole story is crazy but I'm glad they are working in places they want to be with fair treatment😁😁
in XG, the first girl in the first verse is one of the ultimate girl crushes (her name is Jurin and she's the leader)
For Dreamcatcher you just need to do a whole marathon. Dreamcatcher is like a black hole, once you get in, you won't come out. That's literally a quote from Jiu, Dreamcatcher's leader
Second that comment! 👆
Literally it's a black hole with them when you we're there for their debuting drama😅
I SEE ARTMS I CLICK!!!(also I'm subscribed so I always click ♡)
artms just debuted with "virtual angel" hope u can check it out
I absolutely LOVE that you watched/reacted to my three favorite groups(Mamamoo, XG, Dreamcatcher), where all three have the super low toned, cool swagger rapper(Moonbyul, Cocona, Dami), one after the other 👩🍳💋🤌
She is immortalised by her Symbol ,
She is a Legendary Dreamcatcher
MAMAMOO !! Their vocals are out of this world !! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Uma perfeita reação de Dreamcatcher... você merece o talento delas, todos merecem... and we need a maraton 🤗
For XG you reacted to a much older song of theirs 1yr after they debuted. They have evolved to final boss mode since then. Their brand new MV that came out last week "Woke Up" was the #1 trending video worldwide the first 3 days after it released. Its still going viral even now at #3 worldwide music videos on its 6th day. Even hardcore YT Rap/HipHop reactors are totally mind blown by XG's first ever "all rap" track. You 100% need to check it out trust me you will be mind blown.
yess ARTMS, they have 3 more pre-release songs out and an album coming up in may 31
btw, bibi's sister is in the group tripleS!
"That song! It's over... 😳" - exactly me 😆 Thank you by the way never heard about ARTMS before - will go into their rabbit hole I think ))) And great reactions, you are noticing a lot of good stuff and know how to respectfully appreciate women 🤝
About interesting and unique K-artists, recently discovered for myself Seori, she has great voice which is distinct and different from others ))) Also she collaborated with Moonbyul (from MAMAMOO) on Shutdown - it is one of my fave songs now, it is heavelly (and heavenly) WLW centric, which was done intentional by Moonbyul - so we love our Queen for that even more )))
Seori - Trigger Highly recommend for starter it s not just song and MV - it is an art IMHO ))) Lovers in the night and Hairdryer great songs and MVs too and she is pushing Queer representation in her MVs (even though it's highly censored in South Korea) which I highly appreciate)) Seori - Can't Stop This Party is a whole vibe too )))
Hiiiiiii Dreamcatcher!!!🤩✨my favorite female group I love them because their style is different from the others they play rock I love the guitars they put on they deserve to be better known
Bibi the bi Queen
oh i so badly need to see you get into loona in general but especially the music the girls have released since being released from their awful ex-company 😭
so far all of them (chuu, artms, odd eye circle (also apart of artms), and loossemble) have released music since parting ways with their old company besides yves but she’s releasing her ep called ‘loop’ in a 2 days !!
BIBI is an incredible singer. Her vocals are fantastic. Her acting is insane.
Oooo if I can throw something else into the suggestion hat for femme fatales then definitely Rolling Quartz! They're a band, and kick so much ass!
A lot of neverlands (g idle fandom) believe that the little animated girl in the nxde video is actually representing soojin bc she has always loved Marilyn Monroe.
Honeyyy, we definitely need a DREAMCATCHER DEEP DIVE!! Love all the girlies in this video but DC and MAMAMOO (and now XG) are my ult girl groups.
Since you like vocals, Mamamoo live is a must, they are known for their vocals, we call them vocal queens (and is not an exaggeration haha).
Purple Kiss always goes back and forth with dark and more playful concepts but unfortunately, they are the real underrated group, def need more attention!!
ARTMS Birth was everything that I needed, as someone who love experimental sound it was love at first listen, the most beautiful and dark surprise.
I see Red Velvet , I click! Thanks for reacting to all these groups--all these women are AWESOME.
Some Call Her The Shadow Warrior ,
Some Call Her The Dark Knight ,
Some Call Her The Rebel Angel .
She is a Guardian of Dreams ,
" She is and They are the first and always" , Eternal Legendary Dreamcatcher
I think you'd absolutely love "Not Friends" by 4 members of Loona
omygod!!! artms actually debuted just an hour ago! please react to virtual angel 😭🙏🏼 it's so good the album also is very amazing you'll love it!
57:51 that's cocona and she went bold for their newest comeback
bald* lmao but she’s such in queen

Talking about Aespa, they just dropped Armageddon and it is GAS
i am so happy for all the reactions (bc i love them all dearly), but i am especially happy that sweet juice got some recognition because its such a great mv, such great outfits, the choreo SLAPS, the vocals - hello?? and the song overall is so hauntingly beautiful, it was my most listened song last year and i do not regret a single second
i am thrilled to see more reactions of all of these girlies in the future ^^
OMG, I JUST FREAKING LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT MAMAMOO AND PURPLE KISS!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE A MORE REACTION VIDEOS TO THEM. WHATEVER SONG CHOOSE WILL BE AWESOME!!! FOR ME, THEIR SONGS ARE JUST MASTERPIECES!!!
I havent even watched yet and I KNOW. This video IS ABOUT TO SLAAAAAAAY!!! Ive been waiting for thiiiiiisssssss!!!!! I love lorl, and I love kpop GGs!!!
Wow both of my worlds colliding, I've seen your growth since the mixer days, I hope you continue with XG they recently had a hit release called Woke Up, what you reacted to was from their debut year but their sound has shifted towards either Hip-hop/R&B or both at the same time they blew up last year with shooting star and Left Right. Though the message is still the same women empowerment
BiBi is THE ONE
WOW, I CLICKED SO FAST WHEN I SAW THE NOTIFICATION! Girl you think you're giddy, nah I am giddy I am so happy that you got into more of our girls- let's just say you ain't ready (also sorry for the long comment, and sorry I had to skip ARTMS I haven't checked them out yet but I will). But nah you really said let's go with horror/powerful women today, and I LOVE IT!
BIBI is just amazing one of the most underrated soloists I feel like, she is insane- you should DEFINITELY check out more of her stuff plus she did this live performance called Best Lover and let me just say the Gay panic is REAL, definitely check that out real soon (and she did it multiple times).
Red Velvet girl you need to do a DEEP dive of them because man are they something else (you were kind of right their music videos are always weird and or they are trying to kill of a guy and or each other), you should also check out Wendy's other songs you'll love them (definitely my favorite Vocalist in K - Pop just everything about her voice and vocal colors, girl legit can change her voice so much- not to mention girl can rap as well, she actually did rap a little in this song) she did a Live performance and video of her singing Light Me Up (which is one of Red Velvets older songs) but she switched up the lyrics a little- let's just say girl is a Bi-Con. Also don't know if you noticed but the video is actually about these girls (either sisters or they are friends who've gotten very close like sisters) who got kidnapped and abused for a long time until they couldn't take it no more and that's when we see Wendy kill the guy- they all kind of panic, especially Joy (that is the girl you've been talking about), and at the end when they got caught they decide that it's okay as long as they are together- and if anything it's better than being with that guy. You should also check out their Killing Voice as well it was AWESOME (same with Mamamoo and (G) I-DLE's), and definitely check out a guide to them as well, either the (Un)helpful guide to Red Velvet Early 2021, or the A hopefully comprehensive guide to Red Velvet Queendom Era (those are the best ones but if you want you can do something newer)!
Purple Kiss is one of the most underrated groups not going to lie, they are PHENOMENAL- I am so glad that you put Sweet Juice in here. You should definitely check out either Nerdy or Ponzona (debut) next, but to be fair they never miss- though sadly one of the Members did leave the group (Jieun) due to health reasons I believe, which I hope she is doing well we miss you Jieun! Also the girl you were talking about with the dress and facial expressions was Chaein. And no same every time Swan comes on I just melt- which by the way she actually did the guide vocals for Mamamoo's Wind Flower.
Aespa this song legit not many people like it but I LOVE IT, one of my favorites from them no joke but there is a story to it (it goes Black Mamba, Next Level, Savage, and then Girls I believe) and the girl that you were commenting on (the one that sang the friend lyric and had crazy vocals) was NingNing the Main Vocalist and Maknae, the one that hit the crazy high note and had the katana was Winter, the one with the purple hair that beat that person up was Karina, and the one who was going off and rapping a lot was Giselle. Also yes I heard Donald Trump as well and it makes me giggle every time- this is just the start of these misheard lyrics (for an example like Twice's Heart Shaker the chorus literally sounds like they are saying "Is Sana Gay?!" Which is even more funny because one of the Members her name is Sana and not to mention she is the Gayest Member! 😆)
Oh girl you're in for a RIDE with Mamamoo I'm just kind of glad (but also wish you watched it instead) you didn't check out Egotistic instead because I feel like you'd be dead right now (very sexy music video). Hip is actually to the haters I believe (That's why you see "President Hwasa" on screen before that came out she went to the airport in an outfit and people hated on her for it), also the rapper that has a lot of charisma (which actually every girl falls for her do you aren't wrong) is Moonbyul or Moonstar (because Byul translates to Star in English), the girl who was painting in the suit and had the hippie outfit on with the soft vocals was Wheein, and the one in the boxer fit and the half and half look was Solar. Which by the way funny that you say they are Lesbian coded because no joke most of their fans are women, they legit have a Music Video of Solar falling for Moon and Hwasa falling for Solar, not to mention they also were rocking out with Drag Queens in the music video. If you decide to check out a guide to them definitely check out the Purple Hawke one and if you want more of them check out their Starry Night, Egotistic, ILLELLA, and Um Oh Ah Yeh videos, they have so many bangers you can't go wrong with them!
XG is just a PHENOMENAL group, they are actually known as a Global Group and or X - Pop. They are all Japanese, they all sing (usually) in English and their company is in Korea that always amazes me, they all can sing, rap, and dance like crazy not to mention they are all STUNNING! Also same girl Chisa's "Fix your crown" always hits just beautifully, and the girl you talked about who was in the middle with the fierce look was Cocona who is actuslly the youngest in the group!
Gaycatcher- I mean Dreamcatcher are always popping off they are just AMAZING and the way at the beginning you just fell in love with every girl that came on screen is SO relatable you should DEFINITELY check out more of them as well because they are always coming out with bangers not to mention they also have great covers as well (you should check out some of their Gay Moments I'm not kidding when they are literally nicknamed Gaycatcher). And if you want a guide to them as well I recommend the Extensive Guide to Dreamcatcher 2023, there are others that are great but can't remember them right now (also we need a Moonbyul, Dami and Yuqi collab just imagine-) and just wanted to say thank you for talking about Handong's vocals/note on the bridge, she is so underrated!
The fact that I am wearing a Marilyn Monroe shirt is so funny, (G) I-DLE KILLED it with this one not going to lie one of my favorites from them they all killed it (though I think it might be Shuhua's era because not only does her voice sound so good but this was the first time she dyed her hair), the message, the vocals, the visuals, the rap, the dance everything was AMAZING! Also that cartoon girl we kept seeing I believe was supposed to be Soojin who was a member of (G) I-DLE until CUBE decided that they should kick her out (because of bully accusations that were clearly false) still very mad about that because you can tell the girls (especially Shuhua) are still upset about that, you can just tell that there is something missing! Again if you want a great guide definitely check out the An (un)helpful guide to (G)I-DLE updated version 2021.
Anyways I can't wait for more Content from you and I hope that you are doing well and staying safe and healthy Laurel, again sorry for the long comment!
P.S. If you ever need any good Videos I could totally help you out if you need it. Also if you want more horror I recommend you a group called PIXY a very underrated group and their concept is AMAZING, I also recommend Sunmi (get your water ready), more IU, Chungha, Taeyeon, Seori (underrated I definitely recommend Lovers in The Night, she kind of reminds me of Billie Eilish in a way), Jiae (also underrated and is openly Bisexual), Hyoyeon, BoA, Somi, and many more!
Mamamoo recommendations:
Piano man, Mr Ambiguous, Egotistic, Decalcomanie, Starry Night, Yes I am, Aya
Live performances: all of their Immortal songs 2 performances, the immortal songs medley, killing voice, basically all their live performances on anything lol
The MAMAMOO video ending with the KARD- Ring the Alarm video popping up is bisexual solidarity if ever i saw it.
I'm so glad someone else mentioned that.
Bibi's animal farm was the perfect opening for this video, whoever recommend this, ily so much!
