I thought I didn't like this song that much and then I found myself singing whatchalookinatwatchawatchalookinat all day😂
I mean its the catchy part, it has to be stuck in ur head
bam babababa bam ~ babababa bam ~ babababa bam ~ babababa bam ~
I actually liked it but didn't appreciate it as a debut song. But now I think it actually qualifies as a debut song because it did the number one thing that most memorable debut songs do, it gets stuck in your head.
😂😂😂😂 same
omg same!! it's not my fav when it comes to the other tracks but i still cant get it outta my head 😭
I've been so obsessed with this debut and especially with Yunjin, I wasn't expecting to be snatched like this but they absolutely did it
Same, Yunjin and Chaewon caught my attention
SAME
Snatched by Yunjin ✋🏻
Zuha too 😭
It is not just Im Fearless changed to Le Sserafim, it is also referring to the word Seraphim, which are the red-winged angels, which are among the first hierarchy of angels next to the throne of God
Also, I heard seraphim have 6 wings and that nicely works with the number of members.
@@shugo1047 What do you mean?
Which might explain the 'out of place' ladder in the sky PD was talking about. As if they're descending from the heavens
@@shugo1047 considering as of 2018 only 32% of the world is Christian (and it’s probably gone down since then since the church is loosing members) it’s kinda rude to assume everyone would get the reference.
@@shugo1047 who said I was being aggressive towards Christians? You’re the one making weird comments.
If ya'll don't like the sound of fearless, I think you will like their bside blue flame, it was co-written by chaewon herself.
Sour Grapes is great too!
It was also co written with yunjin aswell
I do prfer their bsides over their main tbh. Fearless isn't a bad song but not enough to WOW me yet.
Oh i didn’t even know they released it as a mini album :0 i found it an interesting debut song choice but it got so replayed i got kinda annoyed at it 😅 i know this is a me problem but even when i heard it first because I expected more :( idl i expected something elegant but we got gym? It confused me and the song was a little boring and repetitive for my taste. I understand that this is 100% subjective though, a very aesthetically pleasing debut!
@@thitran1362 fr, fearless is just like their teaser and their whole mini album was the title trackS HAHAHAHAH
the repetitiveness of the chorus really worked for me, it actually got me addicted and usually I get bored easily of repetitive songs
I actually love this debut and even though the chorus is repetitive its catchy and gets stuck in my head. Thr mini album is so good. No skips. Wish it wasn't a mini because I want more songs.
since it's a debut album it has to be a mini but i am sure they will give us more and more in the future, i am looking forward to them always
yessir yessir
lmao catchy ≠ good
@EnMatte Nah it's basic af
@EnMatte yes it does 😭😭 I've heard this exact type of song done hundreds of times already, it's basic and boring and the only people who would enjoy it only listen to pop and don't know anything about what goes into making music good 🤷♀️
i like the simplicity of the debut at a time when a lot of groups are going for the “all out” concept more. i also feel like it was better as an introduction to the members because there weren’t much distractions and one could really focus on their voices and faces as well
I agree. Everyone stood out to me. I only know two of the members but after watching the mv I became interested and researched lol
True you can observe and know them more than being distracted by all the colors, its like they saying we're confident in ourselves so we dont need anything more ☺ just us is enough to make you watch us 😎 slay
@@pebble8978 true this is the first time i remember in a group all their names like their personality just shows that you can identify them easily
And those "all out" concepts aren't even carried out well in song, the only thing saved them was their performance and vocals. Le Serrafim stood out.
maybe some groups go all out since the agency know it's a make or break for them and every opportunity counts since not all groups debut with backup from rich/popular agency to have guaranteed fandom or to have guaranteed second or third chances. the song makes most of their voices sound very similar though so i don't get a sense of their voices while some groups who go 'all out' for their debut, instantly made me learnt all of their voices, abilities etc. at one go so i could decide whether i'd continue checking them out, stan them, etc. showing support to your groups is nice, but shading other groups in the process only open opportunity for your groups to be scrutinized.
I really like it as a debut song! It definitely feels expensive, as you said. The video looks like a fancy fashion brand and the song sounds luxurious, with it's low and smooth vocals. Very catchy too!
Definitely wish it was longer but it’s catchy. The other songs on the album are very good.
18:39 It's intended to be that way. The group concept is "chic, elegant, model vibe". If you watch the introduction trailers of the members, they all look like fashion brand commercials.
They also shot some trailers, like the "The World is my Oyster" that has some lore hints, and "Debut Collection" which is a runway video with different outfits reinforcing that the image of the group is more fashion focus.
That husky voice girl was a professional ballerina in Europe then HYBE staffs pursued her there to cast her and be part of LE SSERAFIM
She's Japanese I believe. But was dancing with a Dutch ballet school
Sha said she was submited for audition by dance ballet with dynamite song,after passed auditio Hybe Source Music picked up her in Nederland
@@Nastajane no, she was given an offer and was doubting if Ballet is really the thing for her or not then she accepted the offer and submitted an audition with BTS' Dynamite. HYBE was the one who still pursued her
The heavenly Kazuha… her beauty is compared to that of Bae Suji. She is one of the most beautiful idols I have ever seen.
@@cayonaianjakem.9961 zuha has always been interested in kpop and the op is right. she did send an audition vid to hybe. originally, they wanted to recruit izone's minju but it was revealed that she rejected them later last yr. kazuha is like a reserved mem for le sserafim lineup but soumu's ceo did pursue her by going on netherlands since it was like a last minute thing. kazuha trained only for 3 months
I always assumed the 'outside' shots were like showing their fearlessness. Being high on a ladder, in the sky, driving fast etc - I do think the CGI shots themselves could have been done better, but that's how I took the meaning.
I think conceptually wise, this song delivers perfectly. It's exactly the type of song you can play while just casually walking around downtown with your sunglasses on and feel confident about yourself.
It also works extremely well while cruising on a car through the streets casually with loud music and just vibe as you want to.
Very easy to listen to - clean, refined and simple works and they pull it off with the highest quality 👌
Not everyone has to be all Zimzalabim experimental like RV
But I wished the video had more shorts from the racing circuit they've shot for the concept photos, it would have fit so well with the gym scene
Yunjin killed it! Her voice is powerful and sultry. She has a mature "sexy" (not trying to sound weird lol) feminine look. I think she embodies the "fearless" consent super well.
17:21 "Her voice sounds really great there- oh my god muscles" is such a mood 😭
I totally agree when you said when you first listened you weren’t sure if it was a 10, but I will say after I listened to it a couple more times I became addicted and it immediately became a 10
"Fearless" unfortunately isn't really my cup of tea but I'm absolutely obsessed with their b-side "Blue Flame"!
Fearless is a 9 for me. But PD, you MUST give their mini album a listen. 3/5 songs are a DEFINITE 10S. Like they have the best debut discography ever.
And I think Lessarafim is a group that you have to consume their live stage performance for. They have such a magnetic stage presence as a whole, feels like they deliver a very attitude heavy performance.
sour grapes baby
curious what songs you think are the 10s? So i know what to check out 😃
@@pinkblueberryyy the album just has 5 songs, the first being an intro so just the music and them talking, it depends on your taste but you don`t loose anything listening to it, for me even the intro was great, so give it a try c:
@@pinkblueberryyy Blue Flame, Great Mermaid, Sour Grapes :) The 1st track is the intro music The World is my Oyster (you can find its "MV" on HYBE channel...or Source Music channel, I forgot which one exactly) and 2nd track is Fearless.
So basically, Amira is saying, listen to the whole album, it's a 10! ^_^ hehe
and I totally recommend and agree the whole album is a 10, especially the B-sides! It also feels very organic, going up and up, from techno, minimalistic funk pop tracks, then KDA-esque track that makes you wanna play videogames and then the final track is a chef's kiss! ^_^
What does discography means?
yunjin became the love of my life after this mv. The charisma is UNMATCHED.
This song is so so catchy, is playing in my brain 24/7
Fearless feels like a concept art/mood board, when you listen to the song you can visualize the whole aesthetic of Le Sserafim. The downside is it might sound underwhelming for people who expected the song to be as stellar as IVE’s debut/other gen4 gg debuts.
I guess that’s why they also promote it along Blue Flame, a more like your typical kpop bop song.
Each and every time I see Chaewon, she grabs attention. No doubt in my mind she would have been very successful as a solo artist. Mad respect for her to be with a group and be a good leader.
She is a total star.
i just realized that the scenes that you thought was out of place was to show that they are fearless :)
So glad to see you back! At first the song kinda was underwhelming in my opinion since I expected something more and less with so many repetitions, but after a few listens I got addicted and I LOOOVE this debut!! Also the B-Sides on the album are great! You should definitely check them out!
Me too. At first I was like eh too repetitive, short, no proper bridge, too much 'ba ba ba bam' where there could be more lyrical parts.. but then after a few more listens and watching the performances became addicted and loved it ever since! Yess the b-sides are so good
I think this MV should come with its teaser "The world is my oyster" toogether as a set to understand the world view of the whole group, and the ending words "Do you think I'm fragile?" is kind of a challenging statement for viewers to reinforce the group brand image and to attract them to look forward to their later works.
No. Its like a cute fun spoiler for their next single, antifragile
WELCOME BACK PD, IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN!
"omg yunjin's vocals!!"
Yeah love to see that she is a vocal powerhouse .
Also kazuha is a very unique specimen - ballerina + rapper , outstanding performance by her on stages too .
Lastly PD , please react to sour grapes here on UA-cam , there's a sequence of garam , Yunjin and Chaewon singing back to back and that sequence is one of the most heavenly vocal sequence I have seen in any kpop song till date ,
That song is something extraordinary
What I commonly see is an initial "meh" reaction to Fearless, then afterwards I see the "it's stuck in my head" or "it's so catchy now" reaction.
What they somehow accomplished was a song that doesn't get old and is easy to get hooked on the more its played.
Well this is a Model Concept thats why the shots are so different. They are doing mature / Model /Magazine concept
Welcome back PD! You should check the album, all songs are bop especially Blue Flame
Your comment is 14h ago?
@@woong9296 patreon early access!
"whos she" someone who won't be in the group too long 💀
💀
LOL
yikes
lmao
LMFAO
You can see how big of a wiz*one PD is, especially since because of all the music videos that they missed for the past month, this is the second mv that they react to.
I know right!?!? I loved the mirror part too! It was just so cool and innovative, but I didn't see anyone talking about it 🥲
I thought that too about the replay-ability of this song when I when first heard it cause it was clearly very repetitious, but I just found myself falling more and more in love with it each time I listened to it. It's been two weeks and I'm still eager to listen to it. I'm surprised myself. I think surely I'm gonna get tired of it, but it just stirs something in you (I wouldn't put it on literal repeat each day though, that would be too much, like most songs). At the same time though, I don't know if I could bring myself to give it a 10 for some reason, maybe like a 9.99, I'm not sure, maybe a 10, idk, it's interesting, maybe the song and the mv combined could be a 10, or an 11.
I HAVE SO BEEN WAITING FOR THIS! Fearless is my favorite debut in a looooong time!! The entire album is great!!
PD: "Her voice sounds really great there... Oh My God MUSCLES"
I'm loosin' it rn
It caught my attention immediately. It’s repetitiveness is a two edge sword making it catchy but also straightforward. I wish they had done something to develop the song more to further hold my attention because it moves to the background.
Blue Flame (which is a b-side in their mini album) is legit one of the best songs released this year, for me at least.
That's all I wanted to say 😏
I know... As an iz1 fans that rised with lot of high note and crazy outro, i feel this song lack of klimaks part and high note... But after listening couple times, i feel this is Fearless what should be... The power of this song is the groove and whispering sound vocals like asmr... No need to be loud, but somehow it's satisfying...
SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU AGAIN!!!
At 0:57 when they turn around to the camera and it's thr best angle of the video WE ALSO SEE THEM THROUGH BLINDS AS THEY SING "YOU SHOULD GET AWAY" 🤯🤯
I loved this song as their debut. It is catchy, the beat is awesome, the vocals are really good and I loved the lower tone. It stands out from the super intense concepts for GGs recently, so I appreciate they doing something different. Love it.
The outdoor sky scenes means that they are descending angels from the skies and having no fear of heights! LE SSERAFIM is fearless!
22:15 고급 (go-geub), 고 (go) means high, 급 (geub) means grade/rank/class. In this case I think PD meant "luxurious"
I like their debut. Simple but high class. No need explosive edit, full with heavy accessories etc. Their album is good too
OMG PD is finally back I'm going to cry! We missed you so much!
Feels like my best friend with the same taste as me in music is back!!😭😭😭
i always interpreted the outside shots as them being 'fearless' because they're really high up! But fair enough, they do seem a bit out of place.
i think so, yes, but i think he means it doesn't match aesthetically, you know? the concept of the idea makes sense, but the aesthetic execution could've been done in a less jarring way ig
PD you gotta react to their debut trailer - the world is my oyster! It's so so cool!
When I saw this getting dropped on Patreon, I got so excited that you were back and you kicked it off with Psy ft. Suga on UA-cam and Le Sserafirm on Patreon!
I'm also very excited that you overall liked it and gave it such a high score.
I even remember when people said those "behind the blinds" was creepy, yet I thought it was so cool and intimidating the way they were looking directly at us!
yunjin EATS UP camera time
Leading up to their debut, i wasnt sure how i felt about the concept or the members but now that ive heard fearless and blue flame i think i might end up stanning lol
What I noticed after this debut is that new gen girl groups have established this trend of having songs that do not exceed 3 minutes, like IVE's Eleven & Love Dive, NMIXX's O.O & Tank, and G-IDLE's Tomboy & My Bag.
Agree I notice this cause I was using them as fillers between loonas butterfly queen com performance, I wonder if they think our attention spans r too short for anything longer?
Considering what you said about the outdoor shots, I think it might be a play on the idea of them being 'fearless' as they aren't afraid of being high in the sky, also linking to the idea of the word 'Seraphim' and being next to the throne of god.
Ty for reacting to Le Sserafim
9:30 I think her being on a ladder in the sky is referencing a ladder to heaven, which fits their name. Seraphim are the highest angels, right next to God, in many religious/spiritual paths. If they come down to speak to humans or announce things, it's usually to intervene in humanity in some major way. It's spelled differently, but I'm sure it's connected to that. So it's not out of place, but you need to catch the reference. I love your breakdowns and thoughts on everything! So glad you're back.
and Fearless concept too, because many people are afraid of heights.
Listen to their Album especially Sour Grapes hits different😭 Garam and Yunjin's voice is so good
I will say the confidence of this group easily makes them rookies to look out
20:43 I think giving a backlight and just seeing their silhouettes would have really hidden the details of their choreo at that part though!!! Also, I'm guessing those colourful sky senes where they were high above the ground might be meant to further show that they're fearless (like not afraid to be so high up without any safety gear?) but yeah agreed that it looked out of place!!
17:22 the way you suddenly say "Oh my god muscle's."
I can't 😭😭😭🤣🤣
I loved this song because its catchy and although its not ground breaking stuff it made me want to listen more to their other songs to get to know their vocal textures
I'm not generally a fan of girl groups, I usually only gravitate to female soloists, but I'm really diggin' Le Sserafim. These girls killed it and they sound fantastic!
This song has grown on me a lot since it’s release. The first time listening to it, I liked it but thought it was a little too subdued for a debut. But as I’ve listened to it again and again (as it comes up in playlists), it’s really hit me better each time. Listening to it now, I think it was a really strong way of showcasing the groups talents while also standing out from other debuts/comebacks. Really good song.
Also, really happy you’re back PD. I was worried when there hadn’t been an upload with some of these big comebacks. Glad you’re okay and can’t wait for all the awesome content! Keep rocking!
If you're looking for a fun le sserafim video, they already have a few non behind-the-scenes content, but I think one video that many people enjoyed thoroughly was actually the mv reaction video. It felt so free and genuine and it really showed their charms. I would literally watch that 13 minute video again just for them.
the stairs and car shots are typical places where people might feel fear so maybe they wanted to show that way they are fearless 🤷🏻♂️
Some people have criticised this song, what I think is people are not used to a more editorial and comercial music and MV
I also think the black background also represents like the fear of darkness maybe?
i love their debut! its very new and different! all the bsides are SOO good! my favorite ssera song is sour grapes!
Missed you garam
I was like "whatch u looking at, whatch u, whatch u looking at " the whole day. No like a whole week. I kept singing those lines without even realizing. It literally stucked in my head.
Fam, you’ll stan this group in no time. You needa hop on the entire album. Run it thru. Your ears & soul will thank you. Time well spent.
"oh who's she?" uh trust me you don't wanna know LMAOO
I think their debut song was pretty cool, the repetitiveness of the chorus didn't bother me that much (I mean it's catchy as hell). It's just that IVE's debut has upped my standards so much that I was expecting something more? Like it left me feeling like okay. This is a thing. It's good. But it didn't wow me. I am more so curious at what they're going to do next because I see potential, especially with the whole "Fearless" concept (I am ready for some badass women to come hunt me down), but for me this debut kind of left me lukewarm. Also of note: haven't seen or followed I*zone or PD48 so I don't think I'm biased there. I wanna leave this comment with the sentiment that I am looking forward to what they're going to do next and that I in no way think this debut was bad. It was solid as far as debuts go, it just didn't really catch my attention. I'll be back with an edit upon their next comeback probably, hoping I get to eat these words.
I think because their group name is also derived from Seraphim (angels) and all of the B-sides except for one all feature mythology I think chic and modern mythology is their full concept. I’m super excited to see more.
Also mythology has been a huge trend in K-pop recently. Tayeon and Hyo both feature Greek mythology in their latest comebacks, IVE in 11 featured the idea of a genie with a flying carpet and in Love Dive they have a lot of Cupid imagery, obviously Le Serafim are angels or whatever with their b sides relating to Will o the wisp from Celtic mythology and mermaids, and Red Velvet’s Feel My Rhythm using Heronymous Bosch’s Garden of Earthly delights which illustrates the downfall of man in the Bible, it all features heavy mythology and religious iconography.
It really makes everything kind of ethereal.
Been waiting so long to see Chaewon again, they deserve all the best but if you intend to get more into the group, don't bother about the first girl Garam cause at this point in time, i don't see any world where she will continue to be in the group. Hopefully things get settled soon cause the others, especially Chaewon, Kura and Yujin deserve so much better
you are the first person ive seen that like it at the first listen
I fell in love with Kazuha only because of her smile in their debut showcase
chaewons confidence is really out of this world i had no interest in them but her confidence really brought me in
I been waiting for this..... finallyyyyyy
I liked it, it made me appreciate love dive because both are minimalist
I am obsessed with this song kudos to Hitmanbang
im so glad you liked the song and video i saw sooo much hate for it right after release. love the whole ep and this mv
ATLAST!!!! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU SIR TO REVIEW LE SSERAFIM!
Hyewon did release a song and album back in winter and it showed alot more of her than we ever saw, you might wanna check it out since you like IZONE
Its late to say sorry she never really improved till their last comeback
4:11 who is she? thanks
edit: so i just found out that she is kim garam, the one who may be kicked out of the group due bullying accusations 🤡 she is ironically pretty tho
And that's why she's in the grp just for visuals she's just pretty and has decent vocals that's all
Its good to see you back pd. And same yunjin really really caught my attention she is so good! I love what you said about her voice. She has such a stylish tone it feels so cool
Love them so much !! But I feel like it sounds similar to XG Tippy Toes, both have very similar vibes !! Love both groups and songs!! ❤️❤️
exactly what i thought when i first heard it
Finally! I’ve been waiting for this Pd!
If you haven't seen the true vocal skills of Chaewon, here are some recent vids:

I agree with you about some shot is out of place, but I think maybe the sky scene is about Angels? Since lesserafim is an angel too idk
I loved fearless the minute I heard it. Mature concepts in K-pop are top tier
makes me miss their debut era so much!
You should definitely listen and watch Blue Flame!!
I'm hooked on Kazuha Rap part. I wish it was a longer verse. Been on repeatin it
i like Fearless, but I love the album. The b-sides are so good
I am so happy and thankful for the recognition you are giving Yunjin. In PD48 her voice was already amazing, she is finally doing it and it makes me very happy for her
I was eagerly waiting for this yay
Fun fact the shot at 2:58, the background behind the ladder is Shanghai
AMEN YOURE BACK WITH LE SSERAFIM THANK YOU
Absolutely LOVE your expression at the first "Whatcha lookin at" and "You should get away"!
I was looking forward to your review so badly! Thanks for doing this 😎😎😎
Hello, PD! I hope you're just fine and happy Thanks a lot for this great reaction, we all missed you! 💕
Welcome back! it's nice to see you starting to upload vods again
been waiting for your reaction for this..
Sakura and Chaewon really improved so much here, both now became more confident..
but wow Yunjin's expressions and vocals just wow kiss chef
We’ve been waiting
