Thank you so much!!!
Love from India
Haechan is a secret weapon. I thought I'm the only one who noticed.
Haechan has to be one of my favourite dancers in nct. His fluidity & character is unmatched & so captivating.
Yasshhh mee tooooo
Haechan and taeyong shine for me almost every comeback
Totally 🙌🏼
agree with you
Yeah
Haechan's pelvic is art
haechan as a main vocalist standing out so often as a perfomer is something to applaud. he really puts in his all for his performance and considering how many comebacks he has already had, he is still so hardworking and his body lines in whichever choreography is always popping. people miss out on him so much because of his usual lack of center in dance moves
haechan really knows how to make a stage his own when being in the centre
Haechan really deserve to be praise by professional. He work hard for being main vocal plus main dancer in one time. Good job Haechan!
i agree haechan absolutely stood out in sticker because the choreography had a lot of fluidity which is his strength
as johnny said, haechans pelvic lines are just perfect
OK I need to know when and where he said that cause that is kind of funny.
@@megal7500 he said it during the sticker comeback show
@@j_so8993 thank you 😊
HAECHAN is a vocal, but every time he dances he really controls the game!!!
YESSSSSSS BOTH HIM A JUNGWOO 🎯💯🎯💯🎯💯🎯💯💚🥰💚🥰💚🥰💚🥰💚🥰
Haechan is definitely a performer, his moves, his facial expression. Like, on point !!
HAECHAN's like the cobra dancing so gracefully to the flute sound. What a total charmer!
Finally Haechan being noticed as a dancer 😭😭
Lemonade was that SONG, but STICKER IS STILL A STANDOUT FROM THE ALBUM.
I mean I rly like the song not like because I like 127 but just rly like the song, but ppl don't believe me and treat me as I am a stupid fans who like whatever they release. like why y'all don't believe me lmao
@@ttiiopp5245 aww it's ok I believe u! I was also one of the rare ones who liked it in first listen haha
it's okay, just don't listen to other people and keep listening to the songs u love despite other people's opinions
@@rebecca_girsang I love sticker too lol, but after listening it like 3 times 😂😂
@@foreinscorp haha it's okay! most sm songs really need us to give it a second listen to get used to it lol 😂
@@ttiiopp5245 I relate to this so bad lol. Like...why can't I just like the song? 💀
Haechan owns this dance practice💛
it's impossible not to say that Haechan kills everyone on every comeback
Always appreciate the compliments and honest reactions towards Haechan each time🙏🏼 More people really need to see him as the performer that he is!
Those who insist that the song sucks, are those that probably knows only a bit of NCT's discography. NCT is a group that experiments with their sound. They know what people like but they also know what THEY, as artists, like. That's why their albums would have those absolute all-rounder bops and songs that showcase their vocals but they would choose a different sound for their title tracks. Kick It, Regular and all the other title tracks are non--traditional in a sense and they're not afraid to try it out. Even with Dream and WayV.
Sendo sincera, eu vi muita gente MUITA GENTE do fandom falando muito mal da música. Coitado do nct, com uns fãs desses....
@@gabriellyvitoria8408 ikr i mean i didn’t really like the song but i changed me mind
i will admit that i don't like sticker that much. i liked lemonade better and wouldn't be mad if it became the title song but sticker grew on me, the vocal flex is insane, and i acknowledge that it is the most neo which in turn makes it the better title track.
performance wise both lemonade and sticker is superb and the contrast of performance is insane. jungwoo really shined on this cb, though my eyes are really drawn to haechan, especially his dance line, chef's kiss, it is johnny approved.
@@xhafux1831 I personally have been listening to this song non stop but then again I love complex music. It comes down to preference.
@@cozkeyisinnct a lot of people are jarred with the flute sound but somehow that melody got stuck iny head and it's so distinct like 1sec in, Oh this is NCT.
Finally, so much appreciation for Haechan. He really killed this choreography. I love his body line so much to (◍•ᴗ•◍)
FINALLY!! I love these 2 dance practices because Haechan's dancing has improved so, so much and I'm so proud!! I'm 1 Happy and Lucky Sunflower!!😊😊😊
Haechan's part actually was really a reference to Hello Future. They referenced some of their songs in Sticker's choreography. They did Boss, cherry bomb, resonance, regular, 7th sense, simon says and a few more which I don't remember haha. I think it's a really good way to integrate the progress of their discography and different dancing styles into their present dances.
The We Go Up part of Haechan is in Sticker choreography too.
Haechan is the hidden main dancer.
I love that Haechan always shine in more of a fluid(?) choreography like Sticker and Superhuman
Thank you for saying such beautiful things about Haechan 🥺💗
Great reaction and analysis! And Haechan is such a great dancer.
HAECHAN is definitely a really terrific performer, his charisma, stage presence, dance everything just works with him.
haechan's hip is just magical man
As Johnny said, Haechan's pelvic is art
haechan reminds me of baekhyun, he’s the vocal himself but his dance is something incredible
the way they're both my biases too 🧖
Haechan is being praised more. I love seeing this. 💚 Haechan has his own style of dancing. He is very fluid, his angles, on point stage presence, and his body control is amazing. He likes to pay attention to details and apply his style. His lead dancer title isn’t just for show. Hope other people appreciate his dancing- he is more than his vocals.
like i think its about time to understand that we all have different taste in music or in everything. if you dont like the song, then dont listen to it. easy as that. you dont need to tell ppl around to dislike it as well or that they're lying about it. it just so ridiculous. im glad that jeff is voicing out about this bcs a lot of youtube reactors got hate comments abt them liking the song. 💚
yess I totally agree! when chan from skz said sticker is so good, the reactions from people weren't nice at all :( I just hate the fact that everyone is getting on the bandwagon on hating sticker,,,, 127 really doesn't deserve the hate 😔
and when reactors got hate for liking sticker and people saying that they lied...like don’t put words on their’s mouth just so you can feel better about yourself hating on sticker 😐
to everyone who loves sticker: don't be afraid to say you love the song! just don't listen to other people and keep listening to the songs you love despite other people's opinions 💚
Totally agree, i really love how smooth haechan dance on his part.
idk if someone has mention who is the choreographer is but ill just let you know. Sticker was choreohraphed by Antoine Troupe ( Millenium Dance LA ), Prepix dance crew Ilhyung and Joo Youngbeen ( 1Million studio ). Its surprising for me when you mention about the style similar to 1million and Millenium Dance LA! And yes I totally agree with you about the dance on chorus, its not usual kpop moves ( which always sharp, angles on point ), this one is a lot more groovy and bouncy. Totally has more hip hop dance elements.
HA. omg I love it when im right yayyyyy!! kudos to them!
Keone Madrid was also one of the choreographers :)
WAITT antoine troupe partook in the choreography making?? some of the moves are unique so i guess it’s all making sense now 😦
I love how almost every comment is about Haechan 😭 he's one of the most underrated gems in nct and as a ultimate haechan stan I absolutely love when he gets the attention he deserves! He's an outstanding vocalist and a dancer too, people often overlooks his dance abilities which is very disappointing, also he's a great performer, his stage presentation is one of a kind! Uff I can never stop talking about him ❤️
Haechan is just something else....
I think it's time to understand that just because you don't like the song that doesn't mean everyone has to dislike the song. People have different opinions and also STOP CALLING ANY SONG TRASH JUST BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T LIKE IT
Yaaass Haechan's sooo fluid
I can't remember my first listen to Sticker because all I did was focus on the visuals. But, after all, the reason I stan NCT is their experimental title tracks and they delivered and I'm satisfied.
oh ya the visuals on that mv were GODLY
yeees, i really think that this choreo suits haechan's dance style soooo much. like, there was no performance vids that time but i was alr convinced that it is his song. esp when the choreo's full of fluid yet powerful movements lmfaooo
the most upsetting thing that happened this week for me was definitely during Bangchan’s vlive on sunday (i’m a stayzen). i was one of the people commenting suggesting chan to react to Sticker because i was curious about how he thinks about it since he actually knows music. and as soon as he played it, the comment section was FLOODED by hate comments telling him how horrible the song is, telling him to stop playing it etc. and while he was complimenting 127, people commented that he doesn’t have to pretend to like it. like, really?? people who loves this type of songs exist! me included! and obviously channie too! it was upsetting to see how people think he was pretending to respect his seniors.
Exactly! The hate on this song is just disheartening. I wish people didn't overdo it even if they didn't like the song.
Why in the world they were so toxic like that?? Are they even being paid for that?
wow this is sad..
this is one of tge reason some fans doesnt like to comment asking their idols to react or listen to this/that song.the fandom in general is so toxic,no more respect and freedom.sigh
@@jisungsmom1273 here’s the thing, Bangchan’s room vlive every Sunday is actually a chill session where he shares stuffs, then he listens/reacts to other artists’ songs in between. he encourages fans to give song suggestions and actually read them. i’ve been a Stay since literally their debut. THIS is the very first time people react this strongly to a song he plays. there has been instances where they say a song is bad, for example when Chan (i think with Felix?) once reacted to a JYP’s song, but it was mostly just people clowning JYP himself in good fun. Sticker is the first time I can feel the hate radiating through the screen in realtime. I had to leave the vlive after that because i was just flabbergasted. I know every fandom has its toxic fans, the bigger they are the more toxic it is. but it was at that point I realized that SKZ has become big enough to attract THAT many toxic stays/trolls.
Haechan is going places and I'm so here for it.
I'm still trying to recover from the Sticker Mafia dance lol Taeyong slayed it while listening to a slower song. It was insane, knowing the steps are matched up with the songs notes.
You also gotta love the references to the previous tracks like Boss mentioned by Taeyong in Sticker (and him doing the killing point of Boss)
As for sticker's choreo I heard that Taeyong said there were actually 2 kind of choreo and they decided to choose the second one... And I think sticker was chosen as a title track because of the music but regardless, both sticker and lemonade are such great songs
Haechan went off in these dance practices!
Haechan has definitely improved a lot be it vocals or dance...the ACE ❤️
I find it interesting that you mentioned lyrical hiphop! NCT hasn’t done it for a while since NCT U’s debut with the 7th sense so i was glad to see this style return :)
YESSIR let's goooo
OMG HIIIIII
okayyy favorite reactor reacting to fav performer!! Let's gooo!!!
Oh you here
Yoooo! Sup dude!
hey Ben u didn't give us Sticker dance practice tho :'(
i'm happy reading all the comments praising haechan. he deserves all of the praises
I also like that taeyong danced to Boss in sticker during the “네가 boss란 말이야” and i think jungwoo did too on his small section. again, taeyong credited a small part of cherry bomb in lemonade! it’s the little details that makes these two choreographies really amazing to me
Omg! Oh yeah!!!!
I love Sticker, in fact I think it's better than Lemonade. I love Lemonade but I'm one of the ones who feel like Lemonade would have been safe if it was a title track. Sticker was something only NCT could do and did it extraordinary well. Besides, the people hating it now will be the ones loving it when their favorite groups trys to do it a year or so from now. Not a bad thing, but I think people just love to hate NCT titles because it's the cool thing to do. Anyway, tangent over. Jungwoo killed the sticker choreography! They all did!
If you would notice, the opening part of Sticker looked like a rivalry between Jaehyun's side who moved first then Taeyong's side moved where as the middle part, Jungwoo moves in both. They used this "story" in Who Is Sticker where Jaehyun represented the past and Taeyong represents the future thus they were at the opposite ends of the table and Jungwoo is the median. And then the same story was used in the music video, Taeyong and Jaehyun were the only ones wearing the outfit with flames and the scenes showed how they're on opposite sides. The little yet very consistent details they incorporated in the whole Sticker concept will make you in pure awe!! As always, I love watching your analysis of their dances~
Wow this blew my mind!!! I never notice such a cool things.
‘That moves. It’s hard to synchronize’
Meanwhile, Taeyong did it perfectly with different music on mafia dance with dingo😩He’s truly amazing
There are a lot of hidden gems in NCT but I can assure you, Haechan is the #1 hidden gem. 💚
I like Sticker since the first time listening. Why people think that no one like it and if someone likes it, he/she lies? I LIKE IT!!
The people who like it also need to not tell the people who don't like it that they don't have taste or they don't understand music or NCT.
@@GopherCakeStuff Sure. Just be kind and respectful to other people's choice. It's not difficult at all.
@@eroseris exactly 👍🏾
Liked it in 7th listen. 1st 30 seconds still nt favourite. But as soon doyoung sings his 2nd line, I love it. The vocals part lives rent free in my head
Same! I was surprised by how much this Title Track was bashed.
The part where their choreo matches to the sound of the flute in sticker is so cool !
time?
@@cotbegemot1 10:29
i watched jungwoo's back during this part...his movement match d flute sound...nice!
Everything about NCT, I try to watch it as quick as possible🤣
Me too
I actually like Sticker more, too. The song, mv, choreo, outfit, everything. Why are some people so shocked to hear that tho
can we talk about how quick haechan moves and how sharp, and precise his movements are. look at 20:57, the screen is practically white because hes moving so fast
NO CUZ I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR AGES NOW!! MARK HAS THE BEST HEAD MOVEMENT IN EVERY CHOREO THEY PERFORM!! HE KNOWS ITS PROPER PLACEMENT AND HE KNOWS THE RIGHT TIME TO USE IT IN ORDER TO EMPHASIZE A CERTAIN MOVE!! I LOVE HOW YOU POINTED THAT OUT THANK YOU 😩✊
Taeyong def has made his own style in dancing and had also made it a huge part of nct's brand, I've noticed other younger members are also following their leader's steps and that's really interesting. Taeyong is right up there with kai, teamin & lay in term of being a prominent dancer
true
When it comes to nct dance practices my go to reaction video is yours Jeff. I love how you dissect each move and gives meaning to everything. Its not just a reaction video but you give us a lot of ideas about dancing and i love it so much. Keep it up.
Haechan appreciation yasss
Tbh I wasn't too keen on the song when they released it but it has grown on me ever since. It's very unique, very SM style and I think the flute does wonders for the music. The song is unbearably addictive.
Stickers is really stand out in term of music, vocal and performance.
For me, lemonade has a lot of repetition in the lyrics n dance. So its really suit as a bside track.
As a flute player, I think the sound is fun. Very 127.
Love him mentioning 1M dance studio!! Would love your reactions to their content as well Jeff!! and Of Course, Taeyong is the king of unique dance!!
22:18 yup you're definitely a fanboy 🤣 suddenly it's reminded me to your Diggity reaction video LMAO
I also noticed that Taeyong late moment during Lemonade's bridge. I thought he was really late. I resumed to watch this part again and again to understand what's wrong and it turned out DOMINO effect with him (Taeyong), Yuta, and Johnny. Their arms went down while others went up. You can pause that part to see their arm position haha. The formation didn't symmetrical, but i think that's intentional to give a complex impression. Idk Hahaha. But the imagery didn't look well so our eyes interpreted as "late". Idk, maybe because of the speed haha
I'm glad you were able to react to the dance practices, I'm very excited for the comeback and I hope we can continue to stream and support NCT127
NCT adds color everytime they use dynamics! 😭💚 they are all genius dancer dang i stan!
"good stamina" thinking about that time where yuta said he used to run 8km for soccer practice with a rope around his waist thats tied to a tire. and how long he could hold his breath underwater during nct life. no wonder he picked lemonade as a favourite track LMAO
Haechan!! 🤯
Dreamies mention!! 🥳
jeff the sweetest person LOOK AT HIM I WANNA CRY so adorable
I love how you dive into some of the finer technicalities and consistently cross-reference other genres, agencies, just different versions of the performance arts when analyzing these videos. I always appreciate the extra information and that you always re-explain what words and phrases mean so that those who are unfamiliar with them have a better understanding of what you’re talking about. All of this aside….
I’m obsessed with NCT. Every single person in this group has their very own unique style when it comes to vocals & dance and the way they take advantage of that fact to bring themselves together as one whole cohesive unit never ceases to amaze me. I never get tired of watching them dance or perform because no matter where you look, there’s always something new. And I love the fact that they have so many repetitive motifs of movements, sounds & the words they use in their songs. Everything about NCT is so neo chaotic but no one makes it work better than they themselves.
I’ve only been into Kpop since April of this year. The very first group I got into was actually StrayKids and I love them so much but from the very first moment I caught a glimpse of Taeyong’s captivating movements and body lines and I immediately fell in love with the whole group to the point I learned all 23 members and their group dynamics in a day before I just randomly dug their choreography, finding myself trapped. Nct quickly found themselves as my very top favorite artists among alllll of the different music I listen to because they’re just that insane to me.
Anyways, sorry for the long ass paragraph 😅 if you see any of my comments,‘I guarantee you at least half of them are about this length and many even longer lol but I just never seem to run out of things to say about them 🤷
Yasss Jeff is a man of TASTE. Sticker is absolutely better than Lemonade. Far more experimental and intricate and interesting.
haechan is a great dancer and i think he’s hiding more of that talent under his sleeves. (i also think that he ain’t showing them cos he don’t wanna go overboard of his position as a lead dancer)
I agree with you. I definitely think either Haechan or SM is still hiding his full talents in all areas. He has been improving every comeback and it makes you wonder what his full potential is.
@@lilyrose0116 righhht and it actually scares me idk if i can handle MORE of THAT haechan
I dont know if anyone's pointed it out yet but when taeyong and jungwoo sing their lines in the pre chorus they say boss and do part of the boss choreo
I also feel odd when I first listen to Sticker but after a few listen I got addicted to it and I’ve been listening to it for a week now and IT’S A BOP.
Jeff! Gotta give it to you, your dedication is honestly admirable. Thank you for taking the time to describe every detail even with your editing self, you never let things slide. I can tell this must've taken forever so thank you for being so awesome and informative about their dances 🥺💕
Dude the flute is what makes the song! It might just be me but I just love experimental music.
True the flute is the main point of the song. Ppl just dont understand it. They concept is different, Nct itself is different😂
I mean.. NCT itself is the genre, it's just so NCT
you seem to be the only one who truly recognises how much haechan shines this comeback. i am always so in awe of him
both choreography is insane! Thank you for all the effort, time and hard work, NCT127 yall did a great job, we czennies love it
Don't worry, there seem to be some mean people hating on my favorite youtubers for liking sticker🥲 but we don't care cuz they're just LEMONS and are too dumb to understand that everyone (intellectuals) is free to like whatever they want 💚 thx for the lovely reaction🥰
Same! I too belong to that minority who like Sticker more as a song and as a choreography. I just think Sticker is very different, it's unique.
This is why i like your reactions, you dont just "react", you also explain! The best reactor indeed! ❤️
What if Jeff becomes an actual mentor in a kpop training 👀
if we get to 1m subscribers, I can get my agents to submit me for those survival shows lollllll
to everyone who loves sticker: don't be afraid to say you love the song! just don't listen to other people and keep listening to the songs you love despite other people's opinions 💚
Ever since the song came out, I have done nothing but hype it and play it and sing it because I really love the song. I had to listen to someone bash the song to me over the phone and I really hated that they called it trash, etc. Sticker is an absolute masterpiece just as fitting as their discography and I’ll never let anyone tell me NCT sucks because they’re amazing and perfectly suit my tastes.
@@YongieBear omg I'm so sorry you had to go through that :(( it's okay, just keep listening to whatever you like! don't listen to other people. take care
I really enjoyed your breakdown of the movements for each song - I like to watch these types of reactions to gain a better appreciation and understanding of dance. I wish I was a dancer but that bus has passed so I love to watch NCT dance, they're so amazing.
We shouldn't insult someone's artwork, whether it's a song or a painting or even a fashion. Every art has each soulmate.
To answer your question of why TY did the move in the intro different here (the MJ move): his feet were injured so they had to change some of the moves to lessen impact on his feet. You can even see him touching the ground with his hand in around 5:58, to support some of his weight (because in that position it would cause a lot of pressure on his toes).
Performance wise, he has been wearing different shoes than his team mates (the stylist did try to make it less obvious though) and changing the moves for almost all live performances, to let his feet rest a bit more.
i mean SM artists does give songs that may seem odd at the first listen, but ended up liking them anyway. it’s their charm.
Exactly the first time I listened to the song I was kinda distracted by the flute but the second time I was in love with the song.
it's happen to me too
I don't really understand those who says that they doesn't like STICKER and pushes others to dislikes it too.
I think those who doesn't like it are those who doesn't really listen to them. Gosh, they've been experimenting the music for years now and you can see it even in their b-sides. You know why NCT 127 is remarkable it's because they are the only group who have the courage to create their own identity and not to be "be like other" kpop group to satisfy the likes of many. They create their own character and not afraid to go against the "usual".
Personally, I actually prefer Sticker more. The more you listen to it, the more you will love to hear to it again and again. I'm telling you...
I commend Jeff really for calling out.
Jeff is my go to reactor of music videos and practices. Love yahhh Jeff... 😊😊😊
Yes i agree that HAECHAN
Ikr haechan's dance is effortless with a smooth move
Jeff: Mark has just been bias wrecking me
True
Wow Jeff! I really love how detailed your analyses are. Ever since I watched your videos, I got to focus on the small details and differences on the members styles and that actually made me think analytically and critically. I got to appreciate dance and music on a deeper sense. Btw, me too, Haechan really had me. I got to notice his movements and it's getting me everytime I watch this.
26:50 I remember seeing a small clip where Taeyong is leading the dance practice and helping sync their arm movements here 👍
never seen that analysis video, but what your describing about taeyong is hypermobility (some ppl refer to it as being 'double jointed')
