The live stages for Closer and Killin me good were sooooooooo good, I hope you enjoy them. I am obsessed with the coreography for Closer tbh. And regarding Nightmare, there are no oficial live performances but it was part of the setlist from their last tour and Jihyo actually performed it in a lot of Twice concerts so I am sure there are some fancams/videos you can find 👀
Jihyo said it herself, that she wanted her album to not sound like kpop and i think she did an amazing job with that. i love every track bc they 're so different from each other but at the same time everything just make sense together. that's what i love the most about her solo tbh
I'm so proud of her for being part of every b-side track and even writing lyrics for the title track, allthough they were rejected. The behind the scenes stuff was amazing too, seeing how much control she took etc
Your interpretation of ROOM is spot on. It’s like about her struggles during her trainee days and how she did not want to do it all over again (not come back to the practice room)
choosing to film the album preview for room in what looks like a practice room ugh that hit so hard, shes spent her whole life since she was 8 in practice rooms
I know the album was gonna be good but i didn’t know it was gonna be THAT good like it's brilliant and so seamless literally a no skip album. She did not come to play. Easily one of my fav album and one of the best debut KPop album I've heard from a solo artist
I love how she made the cuts in the songs not jarring for the ear, i dislike reactions with cuts but this one here she really did work it out to the people who are not a part of her patron and I love that❤
I’m so glad u watched this and are checking out the live stages!! You’re right, this album isn’t super kpop but also not western- it’s just jihyo. She said she wanted it to be completely her choice and completely herself. Maybe that’s why people say it “flopped” but really, kpop isn’t really for REAL music completely headed by a female artist in a famous group. This just shows how versatile twice is and how true Jihyo is to herself.
If jihyo ends up going to mama or whatever award show is about to happen, if she goes solo, i hope she wears that blue dress cause that was an AMAZING look on her
- She composed/co-composed 4 out of 6 b-sides - She wrote the lyrics for 5 out of 6 b-sides - She had a hand on all of the b-sides - Nightmare actually has a live stage. It's her solo stage before her album got released. In a way it was pre-released on their ongoing concert "Ready To Be" - Room has a live in "It's Live" - Closer's choreo is deadly This album is so goooood. It's hard to pick a top 3 and it changes the more you listen to it, too. Initially my top 3 goes like this: Wishing On You, Don't Wanna Go Back, Nightmare Right now, it's this: Room, Don't Wanna Go Back, Wishing On You She had total control of the process. She also mentioned she was to write the lyrics for the title track but didn't have much time (they were on tour, tho they're still on tour) I love how their staff hyped her up and pushed her to fully make use of her potential and supported her all throughout. It's also gonna be good to watch the 5-ep behind of the album making. I think you would enjoy it heheh.
Room got me in tears even before reading the lyrics. I’m glad you checked out her album Caitlin! I’m so proud of the kind of artist she has become and looking forward to how she’ll progress from this point on!
Jihyo is such a unique artist because she's an atmospheric singer. Alot of artist can sing but they cant set a mood with their voice. That why Jihyo is so great at multiple genres. I love Twice but Jihyo kinda gets lost in the shuffle, so this solo really spotlight her talents. She shined so bright with this album. I need more solo Jihyo. The fact she was able to explore different sounds and she conquered each. Jihyo fan for life 🧡 Thanks for a great review! Love your Twice reaction and being honest ❤
i just love watching Caitlin fall in love with the songs and just vibe along🥰 the album was 10/10 for me and I LOVE ROOM SO SO MUCH also Closer has a live performance stage and Nightmare was her solo stage on the Twice 5th World Tour she has been writing for a while and this is the first time that a lot of them have been released
with jihyo being my ult bias in all kpop this album means so much to me. also knowing how much work and energy she put into it really makes me emotional, she wrote the lyrics for 5 out of 6 bsides and composed 4 out of 6 bsides too. she said on bubble that she put her blood, sweat and tears into this album and i’m just so proud of her. i shed a tear everytime i listen to her songs
Jihyo really did put her blood, sweat, and tears into these albums. I hope she knows how much ONCEs love this album and support her. She has no skips on this album. Room also had me crying 😭
thank you for reacting to jihyo!! she actually worked on every single song (lyrics and composing!) so this really is the result of her own talents and hard work. i'm glad you enjoyed it i loved your reaction
Girllll we do have live stages for nightmare!!!! She did this song for the first part of the Twice world tour, that’s how we all discovered nightmare!!! You should definitely check it out
My good sis Caitlin. I’ve been waiting on an album review since you watched killing me good. This album was amazing no skips for me. I been waiting on Jihyo solo for a while just to see what she could do and she exceeded my expectations and she worked so hard on this album. I’m so proud of her.
Thank you for reacting to what is for me the best album of 2023 so far. Jihyo is one of the most talented women I have ever seen, she deserves all the success she has and much more!!! 🥰🥰🥰
It soooo hard to pick a favorite but I think mine is the same as yours tbh. I loooove Closer tho, I had a good af week when the album dropped listening to that song
This album hits different. It's kind of Twice, definitely Jihyo and very mature production- and lyric-wise. Nayeon's POP! was great and fit the vibe last year, but I'm happy that Jihyo went in another direction and took so much creative control!! I'll be so happy when she deccides to drop a follow up.
One good thing about this album is that JIHYO picked most of the songs even the title track and composed, wrote lyrics to almost every song. She's an artist.
This was such an amazing solo debut that defined Jihyo's own special sound and the songs have been On Repeat!! since I first heard it, but also I wanted to say that this was such a fun video, your reactions felt very real and fun and your reviews of each song were really detailed and interesting to hear! I was really happy to watch you react to the album, really felt like sharing the experience! You bring a real warmth and friendliness to your videos that never fails to make me smile, and I knowww the editing takes time so just a small comment to appreciate the effort you put into these if you see this
in the behind the scenes for the album they discuss how jihyo has a tendency to write sad lyrics LMAO, when writing wishing on you her first lyrics were actually very sad 💀 so ig she put all that into the second half of the album
Heize has previously worked with Suga, he produced one of her title tracks. I loooove Heize, she’s really amazing and important in the krnb/ksoul scene. I recommend checking her out on your free time, her music is incredible💗💗💗
4:55 I completely agree with you about this part, Jihyo has already suffered a lot due to the rumors of her dating Kang Daniel, she got over that part and moved on to something else, with no regrets
I have the same top 3 songs! DWGB is also my favorite but this was truly a no skip album!! I know when she drops more music it’ll be even better and I’m excited to see more sides of her as an artist; in both performing and songwriting. You should totally watch the live stages of KMG, Closer, and Nightmare(her solo stage on the last tour) I think they were all executed well. And Nayeon’s album ate too I can’t wait for that reaction
My interpretation of Nightmare is, it's in the pov of Jihyo's sleep paralysis demon. Rather than Jihyo singing about herself haunting others, it's her sleep paralysis demon telling a story. But ofc it can be anything that suits the narrative. Idk haha since she wrote the song & have talked about having insomnia (also wrote another song about it)/ seeing things at night before.
I'm so glad she chose to promote closer!! and i agree with you that nightmare is a song that could be really cool on stage. my personal top 3 goes: room > closer > nightmare.
hey caitlin! fun fact, nightmare is the first song in the album that she produced and wrote. She performed it back in June 2023 on their world tour in the US. check it out! its awesome
Jihyo went to Heize's radio show and have some live part of 'don't wanna go back' together. she release a lot of behind the scene that can saw some of her production process and it's fun. Nayeon have 'IM NAYEON' EP. (with 'pop' as title track) also a good one. (i think you did MiSaMo 'do not touch' already, the EP 'masterpiece' is good too.) have a good day. :)
SHE ATE AND LEFT NO CRUMBS 💅 I'm so proud of her cuz all the bsides is she did part in the lyrics and composing as well. You should check out Closer live performance, specially from Inkigayo 😩. Nightmare have so many fancams from concert you should check it out aaaa. Can't wait for your contents about TWICE, (Nayeon solo album and MISAMO album) 🥺💗
i loooove this album,.... nightmare is my favorite track in this album and i think maybe favorite track of 2023 in general i really really looooove this song
This entire album is absolutely incredible but my favorite has to be Nightmare. Although I might be slightly biased after getting to hear Jihyo sing it live.
In my opinion, the song "room" jihyo interprets that nostalgic and regretful feeling that she may have had when she became known to the world of the industry. the daily life that she led from a very young age to achieve her dreams and her life as a celebrity when she debuted, being a singer and famous I consider that could have been something tormenting for her, is not easy to expose yourself to the public eye. Love u leader jihyo 💗
Killin' Me Good, Closer, Nightmare were all performed live, so there's a lot of live content for you to check out from her. are you also gonna check out Misamo's album?
MISAMO also has an album too All of Twices solos and unit albums have been top tier. They’re all no skip mini albums and shows how diverse Twice is as a group and as individuals. People should stop underestimating them
going "ok no THIS is my fav" after every song is so relatable
Lmaoooo yeah! This album is a bop fr
The live stages for Closer and Killin me good were sooooooooo good, I hope you enjoy them. I am obsessed with the coreography for Closer tbh. And regarding Nightmare, there are no oficial live performances but it was part of the setlist from their last tour and Jihyo actually performed it in a lot of Twice concerts so I am sure there are some fancams/videos you can find 👀
I like this album
Jihyo said it herself, that she wanted her album to not sound like kpop and i think she did an amazing job with that. i love every track bc they 're so different from each other but at the same time everything just make sense together. that's what i love the most about her solo tbh
yasss
This 💯
It stands out from many other kpop albums imo. ❤ Room is a song I'm gonna be blasting every winter because it's so cozy and warm like cinnamon!
Fun fact: she wrote 5/7 songs on this album and composed 4/7!
I'm so proud of her for being part of every b-side track and even writing lyrics for the title track, allthough they were rejected. The behind the scenes stuff was amazing too, seeing how much control she took etc
THIS ALBUM HAD NO BAD SONG
Trueee
you spilled NOOOOO lies there
Your interpretation of ROOM is spot on. It’s like about her struggles during her trainee days and how she did not want to do it all over again (not come back to the practice room)

We know our queens, right. Caitlin and Jihyo are made for it. They are both QUEENS.
I love how she made the cuts in the songs not jarring for the ear, i dislike reactions with cuts but this one here she really did work it out to the people who are not a part of her patron and I love that❤
I’m so glad u watched this and are checking out the live stages!! You’re right, this album isn’t super kpop but also not western- it’s just jihyo.

Jihyo worked so hard for this and I love all the songs. She is really a good singer ❤
thank you for reacting to jihyo!! she actually worked on every single song (lyrics and composing!) so this really is the result of her own talents and hard work. i'm glad you enjoyed it i loved your reaction
I did not expect this one.. was a happy surprise! Love your reactions ❤️

VOCAL QUEEN 💖 such a beautiful voice i am obsessed !!!
listening to “wishing on you” for the first time was a spiritual experience
Underrated album
I love this album!! "ROOM" my favorite song
It soooo hard to pick a favorite but I think mine is the same as yours tbh. I loooove Closer tho, I had a good af week when the album dropped listening to that song
she worked on every song on this album! there's no bad song in this, she really is an ace.
YESSS JIHYO’S ALBUM!!! truly a no skip album imo like why is this so good
The live stage for closer is just something else i've fallen for that song and its choreography since day 1
"I wish she had a live stage for nightmare" GURL! She was performing it on tour! There ARE stages of Nightmare!
this album is perfection
ZONE is truly a no-skip album
CLOSER IS THAT GIRLLLL🤍🤍🤍 jihyo *ATEEEEE* ✨✨✨
Twice Japanese members Mina, Sana, Momo also have an album called ‘Masterpiece’. They go by MISAMO. It truly is a masterpiece hope you check it out.
she has a lot of live stages for nightmare because she sang it in their concert (before the album release!)
This album hits different. It's kind of Twice, definitely Jihyo and very mature production- and lyric-wise. Nayeon's POP! was great and fit the vibe last year, but I'm happy that Jihyo went in another direction and took so much creative control!! I'll be so happy when she deccides to drop a follow up.
NO SKIP ALBUM
One good thing about this album is that JIHYO picked most of the songs even the title track and composed, wrote lyrics to almost every song. She's an artist.

dont wanna go back and wishing on you my favs songs in this album
So proud of our leader 🙏🏽🙏🏽 hope you can check out Nayeon’s solo sometime as well!
in the behind the scenes for the album they discuss how jihyo has a tendency to write sad lyrics LMAO, when writing wishing on you her first lyrics were actually very sad 💀 so ig she put all that into the second half of the album
Heize has previously worked with Suga, he produced one of her title tracks. I loooove Heize, she’s really amazing and important in the krnb/ksoul scene. I recommend checking her out on your free time, her music is incredible💗💗💗
LETS GOOOOOOOO this album was everything I hoped for and more, I always thought she had a perfect voice for R&B and she blessed us fr
DON'T WANNA GO BACK GAVE ME CHILLS EVERYTIME
This album was just soooo amazing. I really hope she wins an award at MAMA this year and TWICE as a group
AHHH NOT ME CRYING THIS WHOLE VIDEO 😭😭😭 IT SHOWS SO MUCH HOW MUCH SHE WORKED FOR THIS MY PRIDE IS BURSTING OUTTA MY CHEST 😭
room is definitely my favorite 🩷 it makes me feel. not any emotion in particular, it just makes me feel and I love it
4:55 I completely agree with you about this part, Jihyo has already suffered a lot due to the rumors of her dating Kang Daniel, she got over that part and moved on to something else, with no regrets
jihyo fawking ate with this album just 10s across the board
I have the same top 3 songs! DWGB is also my favorite but this was truly a no skip album!! I know when she drops more music it’ll be even better and I’m excited to see more sides of her as an artist; in both performing and songwriting. You should totally watch the live stages of KMG, Closer, and Nightmare(her solo stage on the last tour) I think they were all executed well. And Nayeon’s album ate too I can’t wait for that reaction

I'm so glad she chose to promote closer!! and i agree with you that nightmare is a song that could be really cool on stage. my personal top 3 goes: room > closer > nightmare.
she did perform Nightmare on stage for their tour so technically she already did that one
hey caitlin! fun fact, nightmare is the first song in the album that she produced and wrote. She performed it back in June 2023 on their world tour in the US. check it out! its awesome
Morning Bubblesssss and Caitlin; have an amazing day and stay safeeee
Jihyo pours her heart out on this album like you can see the quality of all songs ❤❤
Jihyo went to Heize's radio show and have some live part of 'don't wanna go back' together.
she release a lot of behind the scene that can saw some of her production process and it's fun.
Nayeon have 'IM NAYEON' EP. (with 'pop' as title track) also a good one.
(i think you did MiSaMo 'do not touch' already, the EP 'masterpiece' is good too.)
have a good day. :)
Don’t wanna go back and room and nightmare was my fav ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Now we need you to react to Heize! Her voice is one of the best in Korea ❤❤❤
This entire album is absolutely incredible but my favorite has to be Nightmare. Although I might be slightly biased after getting to hear Jihyo sing it live.
THIS IS A NO SKIP ALBUM 🔥
In my opinion, the song "room" jihyo interprets that nostalgic and regretful feeling that she may have had when she became known to the world of the industry. the daily life that she led from a very young age to achieve her dreams and her life as a celebrity when she debuted, being a singer and famous I consider that could have been something tormenting for her, is not easy to expose yourself to the public eye. Love u leader jihyo 💗
Why I didn't knew your reaction came out
There's also a live version of room
Killin' Me Good, Closer, Nightmare were all performed live, so there's a lot of live content for you to check out from her.
are you also gonna check out Misamo's album?
MISAMO also has an album too
All of Twices solos and unit albums have been top tier. They’re all no skip mini albums and shows how diverse Twice is as a group and as individuals. People should stop underestimating them
So fun!
It would be great if you posted when you react to the live stages, I’m seriously considering joining your patreon for the month to see that!!
CAITLIN WE NEED A DEEP DIVE VIDEO ON HEIZE MUSIC...
GOD JIHYO
ZONE is one of the best solo debut album
dont wanna go back is TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good

Nayeon’s album is also NO-SKIP…solo albums from twice are 2/2 no skips. 🙌💜
Miss Benson, rumor has it that she wrote ROOM about her 10 years of being a trainee 😢❤

The last sampling preview you watched was sung LIVE... how amazing (not to mention, daring) was that?!~
THE BEST SOLO ALBUM ❤
