@@thecreatorscut Yes you should!!! And I have suggestions too!! Try a different series for your start up deep dive like 5 MVs for 5days for this one specific group or any group, and that would be cool! It's only a suggestion tho! btw new subscriber here!!
the set in 6:13 is actually a real set not just the stage. the water, the stage, the inner curved wall are built. some of it is cgi. you can check this mv's behind the scenes if you want. 😊
aespa and all SM groups have a story/ lore/ concept. Frame by frame has a story, which is why watching an MV from SM Ent is like watching an ART. No other companies are doing their diverse and risk-taking concept and music.
AESPA are known for a certain concept, which they haven’t dropped or abandoned unlike some other k-pop groups. It dates back from their debut back in 2020 and it feels like every music video is a movie which is insane because the quality of the music video really brings in the vibe and the experimental music (that SM town is known for) is composed really well and is formed into a masterpiece.
Yeah aespa has a HUGE lore. Same with red velvet, stray kids, billlie and such. Lmk if i should make a list of all the mv releases to let you figure out the lore. Ill also be happy to explain the lore❤
aespa is one of the best if not THE BEST traditional kpop group that's active right now. Very marketable, the visuals are well thought out and put together. I really can't think of any western artist that can match their visuals as of now. The asian market is just insane for how much they put into a single music video. That said, XG is another group to watch out for. They're not kpop per se but more kpop adjacent. They use the kpop system, but is aiming for a global push. In terms of visuals and creative work, I really don't think anyone else can come close. Just because they are not limited to the kpop standards and trends, their concept is insanely free to be whatever it needs to be. Which gives them an insane edge on pushing the boundaries of creativity. recommends: XG - Howling aespa - supernova other MV cinematics worth breaking down: (G)- IDLE - Oh My God IU - love wins all (G)- IDLE - I want that
@@thecreatorscut Whiplash from aespa is also worth watching. It's their latest MV, done in a minimalistic style but they got so much out of it! As usual so many details to find with great choreography
@@leonmusic1871 yess omg, whiplash barely had anyth to work with but swallowed the dish with the literal whipping "whiplash" camera moves and the choreography
My guy you NEED to see DPR Ian - Don't go insane, the mf not only wrote and produced the song but also directed and edited the music video you will be SHOCKED
Please check out DPR IAN, DPR is kinda a music/creative collective based in SK, they are all individual artists that just work together to create art DPR Ian (Christian Yu) is not only a music artist (creating all his own music) but also the lead director of DPR, and edites and directs all his own videos alongside the other members and other Kpop stars. His music videos kinda have a theme across them and a story that follows different fictional characters based on his mental health. But all his videos are truly art and will always recommend them to individuals who are apart of a visual creative space.
OMG Armageddon really deserves its flowers, most especially to the team that worked behind it. Thank you so much for looking into it! If you want to see more of this aespa's MVs are really, reaaaaallly cool, like, Editors go crazy about them lol. Armageddon is my most favorite MV of them but you may also wanna check out Drama, Savage or Girls if you decide to go down the rabbit hole lol. They do have a lore so some the story line might be overwhelming at first. Also, if you like aespa, there's XG, a Japanese Global girl group that has really cool MVs and aesthetic too. If you like Armageddon, you might wanna check out "Howling", "Girl Gvng" or "Woke Up" by XG. Oh and I'm sure it has been mentioned in other comments but DPR IAN! He directs, produces, edits his own MVs. mad talented.
another kpop music video i would recommend is boynextdoor's earth wind and fire! it was directed by rima yoon, who has a really distinctive style and was the same director for this music video!
aespa mvs are kinda a league of its own when it comes to quality in general. if you wanna see other mvs that exude perfection as close to aespa's, i strongly recommend trigger by the boyz, birth by artms and literally any xg mvs!!
I've become a big fan of Aespa''s music. For me, my Kpop deep dive started with Blackpink music videos. Their production, storytelling, choreography - like you said, so 90's. Gave me big Spice Girls vibes, and kept my brain engaged while the world was shut down. When Aespa debuted during the pandemic, i was hesitant about their live vocal talent but their concept - metaverse, AI, what's real - what isn't - hooked me. SM has, from the jump, executed immaculate visuals for this group and I'm so, so glad to see them hit it out of the park with both their full LP and mini album Whiplash.
You should react to some XG! Their concepts are always visually stunning and their versatility is insane! I would suggest HOWLING, SOMETHING AIN'T RIGHT, WOKE UP, IYKYK, and LEFT RIGHT 💕💕💕
Armageddon for kpop and XG's Howling for Xpop are the best visual videos of the year hands down (Not saying woke up because I think Howling is the upgraded version of it)
i def think really insane MVs like this one probably get storyboarded bc its really seems like the director had a vision or sum shit. like it reminds me of ROAR by the boyz and that HAD to have been storyboarded theres no way someone just came up with that off the dome
you need to see s-class by stray kids, rebel by tvxq! or roar by the boyz, these videos are mjnd blowing (and for future reference you can turn on the english captions for the lyrics)
So your channel is dedicated to visual storytelling...then Dreamcatcher is the right group for you. Their music videos tend to have social messages so they used a lot of symbolisms and pop culture references throughout them. A good place to start is the Dystopia trilogy (Scream,Boca,Odd Eye) which is about cyberbullying and internet utopia
You need to check out XG''s music videos; they're crazy video making and editing and it's so so good. They're a Japanese group but all their songs are in English. Most recent one is "Howling"
i would suggest LOONA, particularly their early stuff like Butterfly. completely different style than aespa and way more traditional but still very cinematic and completely unique within kpop (thanks in large part to their longtime collaboration with music video producers digipedi). they have some truly gorgeous cinematography and editing/color grading/etc. that complement their unique concepts and lore very well. LOONA kinda invented (in kpop) the idea of a continuous lore/world building that goes from video to video and grows as they keep releasing.
You’ve already got a lot of suggestions, but if video production and concepts are what you’re about… I’d highly recommend Howling by XG. K Imma sub now.
You picked the music video awarded as the best K-pop Music Video of the year haha, good on you. Aespa in particular has one of the best MVs in my opinion, their Music Video for "Whiplash" and "Drama" are amazing like Armageddon too, it's cuz Armageddon sets the bar HIGH, but for your next reaction in terms of stage lighting, I recommend Do Not Touch by MISAMO and in terms of visual effects I recommend Howling by XG (XG's music videos will blow your mind). Indeed it is a rabbit hole!
The only thing that is bothering me is that your head cam is too small for a reaction video you should try a different style of head cam, or maybe switch your cam with the MV and put it on the center(MV) Overall I really like your editing style and the thumbnails🤌🏽
@@thecreatorscutYesss!! but if you don't want to it's okay you can just upload your reactions here in your channel because yknow youtube algorithm sucks specially for new channel or small channel
XG Howling should be Music Video of the Year and Song of the Year no disrespect to Aespa, who are super visuals and super talented. But XG in a whole different class in terms of visuals and creativity and musicality. Woke Up and Howling should be viewed together. But Aespa is fire no doubt
Should I start another channel just doing deep dives into K-pop music videos?
@@thecreatorscut Yes you should!!!
And I have suggestions too!!
Try a different series for your start up deep dive like 5 MVs for 5days for this one specific group or any group, and that would be cool! It's only a suggestion tho! btw new subscriber here!!
@@thecreatorscut if you feel like it💕
DOO IT
yesss
Checkout Drama from them forsure
This MV won Best Music Video on multiple award shows, deserved.
That's dope! Definitely well deserved
Im not even just saying kpop I think armageddon is one of the best music video I have seen period. Just a masterpiece.
Damnnn.
the set in 6:13 is actually a real set not just the stage. the water, the stage, the inner curved wall are built. some of it is cgi. you can check this mv's behind the scenes if you want. 😊
That's crazy. I'll check it out
aespa and all SM groups have a story/ lore/ concept. Frame by frame has a story, which is why watching an MV from SM Ent is like watching an ART. No other companies are doing their diverse and risk-taking concept and music.
Starting from aespa and from this song is ur standard is set high man❤
It's that good!
Aespa and XG be gagging us with visuals actually
Preach
👀
That's bcs it's the same people that work for both of them 😅 they have really cool skills
Aside from the musicality, I think that the quality of K-pop music videos and choreography is currently the best in the world.
AESPA are known for a certain concept, which they haven’t dropped or abandoned unlike some other k-pop groups. It dates back from their debut back in 2020 and it feels like every music video is a movie which is insane because the quality of the music video really brings in the vibe and the experimental music (that SM town is known for) is composed really well and is formed into a masterpiece.
Yeah aespa has a HUGE lore. Same with red velvet, stray kids, billlie and such. Lmk if i should make a list of all the mv releases to let you figure out the lore. Ill also be happy to explain the lore❤
Damn this a lot of info haha. I might need to sit down and take some time to get into the lore
@@thecreatorscut yeah probably. I could 100% help yk❤️
aespa is one of the best if not THE BEST traditional kpop group that's active right now. Very marketable, the visuals are well thought out and put together.

recommends:
XG - Howling
aespa - supernova
other MV cinematics worth breaking down:
(G)- IDLE - Oh My God
IU - love wins all
(G)- IDLE - I want that
Thanks for the recommendations and dropping some info. I appreciate it.
@@thecreatorscut Whiplash from aespa is also worth watching. It's their latest MV, done in a minimalistic style but they got so much out of it! As usual so many details to find with great choreography
@@leonmusic1871 yess omg, whiplash barely had anyth to work with but swallowed the dish with the literal whipping "whiplash" camera moves and the choreography
Drama by the same group is a masterpiece in production in a completely different way
My guy you NEED to see DPR Ian - Don't go insane, the mf not only wrote and produced the song but also directed and edited the music video you will be SHOCKED
Damn, I'll add it to the list!
also the miito movie!
damn this reaction so detailed and well explained and i also love your reaction we need more of this!!! haha
I try to go just educate on things that I know so I appreciate it. Thanks for the love. 🙏🏽
@@thecreatorscut thanks for the content man best kpop reaction ive watched cause i learned some things
@@dianabryle1520 much love
Virtual Angel by ARTMS also has an interesting mv. Even though it's very different from what you would expect, I really recommend it
🙏
@@thecreatorscut there's also two versions of it btw incase you can't check out the "official" version, the human eye version is just as good.
I think you should react some MV from a band name “XG” 😅 All MV of them are so fck good
I'll check em out! Thank you
OMG yes pls! “Howling” & “Woke “Up” especially
so so happy with this, really hope you delve into aespa more
I will! Thank you
Whiplash is the aespa new song, the mv is minimalist but the editing... super cool need to react pls 🫶
yeah the CGI is fire
they used 3D models of the girls in some scenes. I wish i could put pics here
3D modelling is crazy. That's cool
'Gonna be a K-Pop rabbithole'
XD My dude, I've been in the hole for about 3 months. Welcome and enjoy!
Please check out DPR IAN,
DPR is kinda a music/creative collective based in SK, they are all individual artists that just work together to create art

I appreciate the knowledge. This seems like a cool rabbit hole I could get into haha
I mean Armageddon does mean like world ending
more specifically it means the last battle between the good and the bad :)
@ yesss tyty
Bro you gotta react to their recent mv “whiplash”
I'll add it to the list
U can also react to others song from aespa like drama and supernova it will be your style and enhypen bite me and straykids song
I'll add it to the list
id recommend more aespa music videos tbh, most of them have a theme of ai and simulation and that stuff. its really cool
Youd love bibi’s (soloist) mvs! Its like whole movies..
I'll check some out!
@ animal farm is my favourite 🤩
You did a good job choosing the music video to react to for the first time. Great job!

He directs, produces, edits his own MVs. mad talented.
i'm typing this before i reach the part where you're reacting to the video, but starting with armageddon is totally gonna set your standards SO HIGH.
Jungle by CIX has some of the best editing out of a kpop mv!! pls check it out!
Dope. Added
XG - Howling, a visual masterpiece!
another kpop music video i would recommend is boynextdoor's earth wind and fire! it was directed by rima yoon, who has a really distinctive style and was the same director for this music video!
You should check out ITZY Imaginary Friend, the MV visuals are so beautiful and it's a great song
I'll add it to the list. Thank you
The director Rima Yoon have made some of the craziest, most conceptual and interesting music videos,, she's so talented its crazyyy
aespa mvs are kinda a league of its own when it comes to quality in general. if you wanna see other mvs that exude perfection as close to aespa's, i strongly recommend trigger by the boyz, birth by artms and literally any xg mvs!!
this is one of the best music video i watched.

XG, Aespa, Red Velvet to name a few if you wanna keep the standard this high
this music video left me speechless when I watched it for the first time, I was flabbergasted
You got to watch IVE HEYA its very Korean driven and beautiful.
One that I think is quite underrated is aespa’s liqourice, I love the old superhero/power rangers concept
i recommend any Stay Kids mv. Their production is crazy.
Oh definitely check out Golden Child's Burn It! It's one of my fav kpop songs and MVs ever. It's like... a legit zombie movie.
video wise i think i would recommend
aespa - drama
red velvet - peek a boo
stray kids - god's menu
red velvet - feel my rhythm
Armageddon for kpop and XG's Howling for Xpop are the best visual videos of the year hands down (Not saying woke up because I think Howling is the upgraded version of it)
you should watch maestro by seventeen too!
You are missing out...more kpop mv's to blow your mind.😅
i def think really insane MVs like this one probably get storyboarded bc its really seems like the director had a vision or sum shit. like it reminds me of ROAR by the boyz and that HAD to have been storyboarded theres no way someone just came up with that off the dome
kpop mvs are genuinly one of the best mvs in the game my fav kpop mvs are usually from stray kids and aespa for sureee
you need to see s-class by stray kids, rebel by tvxq! or roar by the boyz, these videos are mjnd blowing (and for future reference you can turn on the english captions for the lyrics)
So your channel is dedicated to visual storytelling...then Dreamcatcher is the right group for you.

XG songs and Aespa - Drama have some pretty interesting mv too
You need to check out XG''s music videos; they're crazy video making and editing and it's so so good. They're a Japanese group but all their songs are in English. Most recent one is "Howling"
reacting to literally the greatest kpop video of all time as your first kpop video is crazyyyyyy LOL
i would suggest LOONA, particularly their early stuff like Butterfly. completely different style than aespa and way more traditional but still very cinematic and completely unique within kpop (thanks in large part to their longtime collaboration with music video producers digipedi). they have some truly gorgeous cinematography and editing/color grading/etc. that complement their unique concepts and lore very well.

You've got to do NCT 127's Superhuman next. It's been a good few years but I still can't believe we get to watch that MV for FREE
some of my favourite m/v’s that i think you could check out are imaginary friend by itzy, nxde by (g)i-dle and deja vu by dreamcatcher!!
You’ve already got a lot of suggestions, but if video production and concepts are what you’re about… I’d highly recommend Howling by XG. K Imma sub now.
That one is on top of the list!
I would like to recommend NCT Jaehyun’s solo work! His MV for “Smoke” is amazing!!
I recommend Brought the heat back by enhypen, the mv is>>>
What's the Wallpaper on you vertical monitor, I can tell its AOT but is it from wallpaper engine?
Oh man I'm not too sure. I downloaded it a long time ago....
You should check out whiplash by aespa. The camerawork is crazy. Not as crazy as armageddon. But lets be real. Pretty much nothing can top this.
This type of MV and quality can only come from SM, let’s be real
YOU NEED TO REACT TO BIRTH BY ARTMS
You should react to some of their other new songs like supernova or whiplash. Some other fun girl groups i recommend are newjeans, xg and le sserafim
aespa is elite KPop
React to strategy by twice or explore new jeans!!!
I'll give it a watch! Thank you
@@thecreatorscut for newjeans watch how sweet
@@thecreatorscut for newjeans watch how sweet

@@dianabryle1520 I'll add it to the list
React to drama - aespa
I'll add it to the list
Soloist TAEMIN also has some wicked visuals. Can't go wrong with his videos
Check out Drama by them, it SLAPS
You should definitely watch Shooting Star by XG
If you want another good K-pop MV I’d recommend Gidle’s Oh My God!
yessirrrr
YESSSSIR
aespa 🔥🔥
Hope u react to Enhypen’s brought the heat back MV.
if u ever look at xg man... u'll also be blown away
For the best Music Video edits EVER in my opinion is Stray Kids Gods Menu or anything from them, im not even a stay but their videos are insane
I'll add it to the list. Thank you
React to Red Velvet - Bad Boy
Added to the list. Thank you
React to deja vu by txt, is so good

Now this is a start up broo!!

The only thing that is bothering me is that your head cam is too small for a reaction video you should try a different style of head cam, or maybe switch your cam with the MV and put it on the center(MV)
Overall I really like your editing style and the thumbnails🤌🏽

@@thecreatorscutYesss!! but if you don't want to it's okay you can just upload your reactions here in your channel because yknow youtube algorithm sucks specially for new channel or small channel

And i dont get it why Heya-IVE can beat this masterpice in Best Music Video Category MMA 2024 😂😂😂 Armagedon deserve better
You so wouldnt like nmixx mvs ahaha
XG Howling should be Music Video of the Year and Song of the Year no disrespect to Aespa, who are super visuals and super talented. But XG in a whole different class in terms of visuals and creativity and musicality. Woke Up and Howling should be viewed together. But Aespa is fire no doubt
This band is trying, but they are no XG. GOOD VID , basic KPOP
XG Howling should be Music Video of the Year and Song of the Year
I’m an alpha, but Armageddon is definitely my song and video of the year. Howling in close second.
i suggest you heya by ive! many people think is the best kpop mv of the year
I've aded it to the list. Thank you
