The relationship between Dreamcatcher and CLC is honestly heartwarming. They're back-stage besties for real, those two groups are always hanging out and even buying each other cakes for birthdays and stuff lol. They've done some style changing kinda like Dreamcatcher did and have been criminally underrated IMO. I love these girls
You've mentioned that Yeeun's raps got improved. That's right, this summer she participated in a musical project called "good girl". There were many underground artists involved, a couple of idols including her, former idols. Most of which were rap directed, but not all. Over the course of the project, she has grown tremendously in rap performance and lyrics writing. I've been addicted to her flow since the debut but now I'm just proud of her. She's my 2nd favourite female rapper between (G)I-dle Soyeon and Mamamoo Moonbyul. But still she's not even my bias. My bias is Seunghee(the main vocalist). She used to be a leader and the most popular member at the debut. Every1 says that she's underrated/underappreciated vocals. Wish you'll be reacting to their other songs. No, Me and Black dress. For the next week I'd recommend another K-pop girl group Momoland. Thank you so much for your reactions. It's really pleasure to watch it. Sorry for my English, much love from Russia.
CLC are the senior group to (G)I-DLE. Hyuna actually helped with the production of Hobgoblin and the stylistic choices mirror her former group 4Minute, which was of the same era as 2ne1.
I HIGHLY recommend listening to DALsooobin MV "Katchup" or "Dive" she has such a great low register. She is sadly underrated despite the immense talent she holds. She even writes and produces all her songs! [The MV link for "Katchup"] ua-cam.com/video/8kBUGGqTTzM/v-deo.html [The MV link for "Dive"] ua-cam.com/video/piQtpVa4kJs/v-deo.html
Edit: Someone already mentioned this so sorry for the repeat 😂😅: I'm just going to mention it as a fun fact but CLC and Dreamcatcher are really good friends with each other ❤️ they became close I think around DC's Piri era (one of the behind the scenes videos of their promotion features CLC and they were playing games, having fun in their waiting room). The girl you liked, Seungyeon, is a really really talented dancer. She and Sua talked about a dance collaboration someday, hopefully we will get it in the future 🤞🏻
If you wanna check out their vocals, watch their "For Cheshire" videos, Sorn, Yeeun and Elkie did solos, Seunghee and Eunbin did a duet and Seungyeon and Yujin did a dance cover. Also check out Yeeun's song Barbie, she's a rapper but she sang the whole song to show off her versatility!

And lets not forget that she is also considered one of THE bests dancers of kpop, among those who know CLC or have seen her dancing at lesst once. Truly, Austin has great taste in his biases it seems 😌👌
So the one you loved her lower, husky voice, is Seungyeon. She is my heckin' 200% bias. Seunghee, the one with the highest notes, is a very deep close second for me. She's such a powerhouse.
CLC and Dreamcatcher are friends since the "Piri" era! They had a couple of comebacks and had some interactions together. As usual thanks for the genuine reaction! Looking forward to any of your next videos with your always interesting analysis. 💜
Ok so weirdly Hobgoblin was a drastic change from their original concept, then after a while they put it Devil which is actually more similar to their original debut concept, and then Helicopter is pretty close to the strong feminine concept they have made for themselves now. When I say Devil is similar to their debut concept I mean it, watch their debut song PePe and you will see what I mean. In PePe they do have two less members than now because those two were added to the group later on.
Hobgoblin was the first 'girl crush' song they did. It does sound similar to a 2NE1 song, but only because it was produced by HyunA, formerly of 4Minute, their company seniors. 4Minute had actually stolen a couple music show wins from 2NE1 by out 2NE1'ing the girl crush genre. 4Minute had recently disbanded so Cube had a bit of a vacancy. CLC actually had sort of a similiar genre change like Dreamcatcher did from Minx. You comment how Yeeun's rapping sounds better in Helicopter, but its actually that she's emulating HyunA's style in Hobgoblin rather than doing her own thing.
CLC is one of my favorite groups, they are so so well rounded. They are under Cube, like GIDLE, so they do write and produce a lot of their own music. I believe Yeeun always writes her own raps (as a good rapper should) and she participated in the show Good Girl with helped her break from the mold and gain tons of confidence (it was a joy to watch her journey on the show she grew so much). Seungyeon is the leader and the one you paused to talk about her visuals, she's the main dancer and she has a low, husky voice which I love a LOT. Seunghee is the main vocal, her voice is very warm and on point. Sorn and Elkie sing super super good too. Actually all of them do, Yujin and Eunbin (although Eunbin is more of a lead rapper and maknae extraordinaire). Honestly, I know you love Dreamcatcher, so if you check out more of CLC you are gonna love them too. Personality wise they are very kind and hardworking, care a lot about their fans and they are nuts, just like DC are. They're also very good live, in my opinion. I think you would enjoy this group A LOT. BY THE WAY, there's lots of videos of them being crazy hilarious, similar to those THIS IS DREAMCATCHER videos.
The one you liked in Helicopter is SeungYeon and she's my bias too ! She's a very good vocalist but she's an amazing dancer, the best from her generation in my opinion ♥️ Also if you like girl with low voice/dark timbre you might want to check out Lee Hi, she's a soloist with a very jazzy and soulful voice :)
Seunghee live is a treat. You should absolutely listen to Helicopter and Devil lives. It's SO amazing. These girls are so talented and so underrated and don't get enough love.
Fun note! Hobgoblin was co-written by Hyuna who also helped them during the filming. Not sure if you know who Hyuna is but she's my second favorite former-wonder-girl only behind my love, Sunmi.
Personally CLC contains members that are in my top female dancers (Seungyeon) and rappers (Yeeun). I honestly LOVE their debut song Pepe and Yeeun rap in it, like it fits the cute concept!! Would definitely love watching you reach to more from them!
I love that you were able to pick up that Seunghee is the main vocalist as soon as she started singing in Hobgoblin. She definitely carries their live vocals. If you’re interested in their covers, they did a special live stage of 4 minute’s Crazy + Super Junior’s Black Suit where I think you get a good sense of the depth of Seunghee’s voice.
Seungyeon’s voice doesn’t get enough credit! I would definitely love if you checked out Luna from f(x) either some of her special performances or free somebody, even so, keep on doin and do you love me!
I'm glad you liked Seungyeon's voice! She gets a lot of (well deserved) praise for her dancing but not enough people talk about her vocals. As a sidenote, since you like deeper voices you should really check out BVNDIT some day. I don't know if you would make a video on them (they're a rookie group and not super well known) but either way you would probably like them a lot. They have 5 members and 3 of them have really nice deeper tones. They're also massive Mamamoo fans, we love people with taste. One of the members literally has a Wheein photocard in her phonecase 😂
"Black Dress" is my favorite CLC song and favorite kpop song :D There is a line in English version of Helicopter -"I'll figure out, 'cause all my idols made it look so easy / And if they made it all that far, then I can be a star /And I'll shine for everyone who's with me here" , which is so meaningful and is done by Seungyeon
9:55 English versions of Korean songs are never easy, Helicopter did a good job but so far the best translated song I've heard is Regular by NCT 127 (a boy group).
5:20 yeah Hobgoblin is definitely "girl crush" and 2NE1 kinda invented Girl Crush. So I could see that. Yeeun did the rap that you weren't a huge fan of, I actually love it (not sure why I just really like the way her voice is in it) and she kills the rap in Helicopter. Also Devil feels like it could've been a Red Velvet MV.
The one you pointed out in Hobgoblin and said was visual and beautiful is the same one you like with the lower register in the fringe dress in Helicopter. She's my bias! :D Her name is Seungyeon she's the Leader of the group and Main Dancer. My eyes automatically go to her in every video of CLC I watch lol. Personally my favorite vocals are definitely Seunghee, but Seungyeon just captures my attention more. Oh and the fandom is Cheshire btw
C'mon taste! Seungyeon is so underappreciated - great voice, great dancer, insane stage presence. All of CLC are amazing but she is definitely my bias. And, since you've checked out (G)-Idle, CLC and 2NE1 now, I think you might have to check out 4Minute, who were Cube's original girl group and often compared to 2NE1 when they were both active. I'd recommend Crazy, since it's a fan favourite, What's Your Name, which was one of their biggest hits in Korea, and maybe Volume Up.
OMG you reacted CLC! They are so talented, but unfortunately a little bit underrated. They gained more recognition with NO or Black Dress (I think) in South Korea. For the next I recomend EXID, Berry Good, Gfriend and the duo Davich. Their vocals are so good and strong. EXID - I Love You, Up & Down and Ah Yeah; Berry Good - Angel, Don't Believe and Mellow Mellow; Gfriend - Me Gustas Tu, Apple and Crossroads; Davichi - Cry Again, Beside Me and Sorry I'm Happy.
I recommend Ailee, she is a soloist. The first time I heard her was her live performance of "I Will Always Love You", and I would love to hear your thoughts on her.
I hope you react to their dance videos as well especially Yujin's and Seungyeon's. Seungyeon the girl you like, her forte is dancing but she also really possess a very good vocal prowess
The cat in the Hobgoblin video is representing us, their fandom. We are named "Cheshires", after the cat from Alice in Wonderland. It was awesome of them to put us in their MV! 😊 Especially since it's their change of concept one Btw don't worry if you don't like every song of theirs equally! CLC's strength is that every song has a unique song so naturally it's going to be impossible to like every single one. The fun part is seeing how they rock every style out ;)
I love that you checked CLC out! I only recently stanned them but I've fallen super hard, they're underrated like their pals Dreamcatcher but sadly don't seem to have the same kind of backing from their company when it comes to releases. They're super talented, Seunghee's vocals definitely deserve more attention as does Seungyeon (the girl you liked) 's dancing and Yeeun's rapping imo. Check out the English version of Helicopter it's just as good! They're also hilarious, them being friends with DC just makes so much sense haha. Chaos in their shared waiting room :')
Sorn has a UA-cam channel called "PRODUSORN" and has 2 videos where she reacts to CLC music videos by parodying reaction videos on UA-cam. Thought that was interesting enough to share.
Seunghee and, I believe Seungyeon, also have their own channels. Seunghee does vocal covers and livestreams, and I think Seungyeon mostly does dance covers. Seunghee's channel is under her full name, Oh Seunghee.
I agree with you, for me Helicopter is my fav as well. And yeah Seungyeon, the one that you liked, is my bias in the group btw. Her dance moves are also pretty good actually and I love it.
CLC have a very similar history to Dreamcatcher. They started as a 5 girls group with a bobble gum concept that didn't workout for them. They added two more members and changed their concept for a most darker one. They could be much more successful if only have a better and more supportive company behind them.
DC does have a supportive company well considering they do have the largest profit out of all the groups in DCC and CLC was mismanaged so more like cube was the one who wasn't really supportive
@@mickeymouse7857 I agree completely. I was talking only about Cube not HF. If Dreamcatcher has been part of any other company they probably would have been disbanded already. 👍
Yay, CLC. I wish I got into them more but I love that they're friends with DC. Their interactions are hilarious. So, never heard a kpop group sing an all English version of their song, you say? Well * whips out list * once upon a time there was a group called the Wonder Girls who tried to break into the American music market back in the day. They were very well known for their retro-inspired hit "Nobody" which had Korean, Chinese, and English versions. In fact, when they tried to branch out to the American market they had English versions for most of their title tracks. Obviously their efforts in America didn't gain traction but considering that they got to tour w/ the Jonas Bros, star in a Nickelodeon movie, made appearances on Wendy Williams and So You Think You Can Dance, and had merch in the now-defunct Justice stores I'd say that was remarkable at the time. You should react to them for a future Throwback Thursday. There were 2 "phases" of them, one when they were a kpop group and another when they became an actual band that played instruments. The most well known members are HyunA although she left the group early in their career (she co-wrote Hobgoblin, DC also danced to her song Bubble Pop recently), soloist HA:FELT (Ye-Eun), soloist Sunmi (who left the group before they went to the US then came back during their band phase), and rapper/soloist Yubin (who I've compared Dami to once). Maybe it also helps that they were Yoohyeon's favorite group and the ones who inspired her to become a singer. And she lurves Sunmi, it's so cute. lol
SeungYeon and Yujin are my biases! Yujin has the bright voice that you noticed. But CLC is a group like Mamamoo, you end up falling in love with each member because they're all so damn talented. It's a shame that Cube promotes (G)I-dle more because CLC has been around longer. Both SeungYeon and Yujin are great dancers too.
Hey. Hope your doing fantastic. Please react to Kard, they are an underrated group consisting of 2 female idols, jiwoo, Somin, and 2 male idols. BM, and Jseph.
ahh I voted for loona on twitter because theyre my ults and their vocal line is big and amazing but I'm glad you reacted to clc since they're pretty underrated
Yet another group for which I have the same favorite member as Sir Austin!! 🤝 Seungyeon's vocals, visuals, and dancing... are all amazing~ 💖 As others have recommended, some of their other recent songs, "Me", "No", "Black Dress", are really good! Sadly CLC doesn't have as many songs, for a kpop group that's been around for 5 years or so. 😔 Their releases prior to "Hobgoblin" had a drastically different style, more cutesy and innocent. Coincidentally, the comeback season of Januray 2017, when their musical style took a sharp turn with the release of "Hobgoblin", is the very same comeback season in which Minx re-debuted as Dreamcatcher!! 🤭 Also CLC started out in 2015 as a 5-memeber group I believe, and later on 2 members got added around February 2016. (again similar thing with Dreamcatcher) So the two groups have quite a lot in common when it comes to their history, so it adds even more to the bond they share! (which everyone else here has been mentioning)
Hobgoblin was kind of a desperate risk by the group. They were not doing well, partly because they were switching between the original cute concept and other concepts, and bad luck. Hobgoblin was partly produced by Hyuna (of 4minit, their senior group in CUBE) in term of concept, which did well so they are leaning toward that concept now. I think they had the distinction of being one of the longest running good groups that never had a "win" on the shows till recently.. That win was thanks to Soyeon of G-Idle that wrote and produced several of their new songs. Don't remember which one won. :-) I just appreciate them. LOL.
I'd like to start off by saying that I don't typically comment publicly on UA-cam videos but I've been absolutely loving your content. ^^ CLC and Dreamcatcher are my favorite active groups in Kpop currently but I'm also lowkey a "Kpop Boomer" lmao With that said, I think it would be really interesting to compare the two different versions of Pepe from CLC! Pepe was their debut MV (and still a personal favorite) but Sorn and Seunghee recently did a jazz version that I'm praying ends up on Spotify someday. If it's okay to recommend more groups for a throwback video, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts and impressions on: ~miss A: Bad Girl Good Girl, Hush, &/or Only You ~Girl's Day: Something, I'll Be Yours ~Stellar: Sting, Vibrato, &/or Marionette ~Ladies' Code: The Rain, My Flower **Bonus: here are some songs that I really love that I think you might appreciate or be interested in! ~Younha ft. HA:TFELT, CHEETAH: Get It? ~Stella Jang: Villain, Vanishing Paycheck ~Zion.t: Eat, No Makeup ~CLC: Breakdown, Depression
They've been around for a while and never quite separated themselves from the crowd. In the last year or two they've started to get more notice and build momentum. They've always been a solid group with potential to be big but haven't in the past been able to create a distinct style or identity.
CLC are Dreamcatcher-adjacent :) They shared a waiting room together - there's some videos on Happyface entertainment channel featuring their antics from Mar 2019
"Hobgoblin" was almost like a turning point in CLC's career, like a literal turn. Like Dreamcatcher, they started off with a much cuter concept and then with Hobgoblin, they completely flipped it and did girl crush. In was kind of met with mixed response since it was a new image for them but at the same time, some people felt like CUBE Entertainment was trying to turn CLC in to 4Minute, their previous girl group who recently disbanded. Especially with Yeeun's rapping, it was in a similar style to 4Mintue Hyuna's rap style (she was her mentor). So "Hobgoblin" was kind of an expriament in a sense for CLC. They've definitely evolved and grown off that in to their own voice since then.
If you want to react to LOONA I suggest you wait until they have their comeback in a few weeks so that you can hear their latest song and then go backwards if you like. If you don't want to wait until they have thier comeback I suggest you listen to their song "Butterfly" first, it's a very beautiful and diverse Mv!
There is a other kpop group that has amazing vocal there are a lot of members but it's super beautiful and they sound amazing live This group is Loona hope you can react to them
Your analysis of Hobgoblin versus Devil was super spot on. Hobgoblin was the comeback where they basically rebooted themself with a brand new girl crush concept. Since they were rebranding, the comeback was a lot more individualistic as it depicted the charms of the girls and basically set their new personas and styles. The rap section was less established because the rapper was still learning her style and flow and you can really see her development over the years as you mentioned. The 2NE1 influence may have come about from Hyuna. Hyuna was a member of 4minute, the major girl group of their label in the 2nd generation (the generation where 2NE1 dominated). Hyuna was placed in charge of CLC's rebooting which is probably why it borrows so much from 2nd gen. If you watch 4minute's "Crazy" you'll see a lot of similarities between their style and Hobgoblin's. Hyuna was also the mentor for the rapper which is why their rap styles (especially in the beginning) are similar.
Wish you reacted to "No" or "Me" but anyways thank you for reacting to these ❤ If you ever feel like knowing them better I recommend watching Yeeun's (main rapper) "good girl" stages
I really like CLC! You should check maybe “No” and “Me” (their best song in my opinion). They have really great bside too. They are under Cube (the same company of (G)I-dle) and they debut as 5 members. Since they debut, they did cute concept, but one day they comeback with Hobgoblin, and they get kinda big. But the problem is that their company put them on hiatus and comeback some months later with a cute concept. So the chance for them to become more big really said 📉. And the girls don’t even like cute concept so... Helicopter was released in September, and everyone was really excited since the last comeback was in September 2019 Their company kinda suck, but I’m sure that with better promotion they can get big like (G)I-dle.
For once we don't have the same bias , this time is my bias wrecker 😂 CLC is a really talented group but they are still too underappreciated. As always I loved your reaction, and give yourself an extra like for the Miley reference
Please react to more CLC. PLEASE react to black dress, Me, Where are you? and NO. pleeeeeaaase. and also please look for some live vocals to react to because their live vocals are phenominal!!
OOOOooo so I think you would really like the solo artist Lee Hi. She's amazing, her voice is just ugh so great! I think you would like her recent song HOLO. Other good tracks by her are breath (such an amazing song), rose ( I especially like the begin again perforce from this year), 1234 (again the begin again performance is amazing), but really all her songs are just *chefs kiss* and so is her voice 💕. She debuted when she was 16 and she's 24 now. :)
You should hear Really Bad Guy, it was a soundtrack song for a tv show that the Main Vocalist Seunghee and Main rapper Yeeun did and you can hear a different sound to Seunghee's voice. Her talking voice is quite low but she tends to get high notes since she's the main vocalist. My favourite voice was her in the La Vie En Rose demo which was going to be their comeback after black dress but the song got sold to izone which meant clc didn't get to come back for a year :(
The English version of Helicopter is actually quite well done. Also (G)I-DLE has an English version of thier debut "Latata" (which I think you have yet to see) that is very good as well. They released a very cool lyric video for the English version that is completely different from the traditional "lyric video".
If you like singers with lower registers you should definitely check out BVNDIT, they have several members who have a lower register! Plus I think as a Mamamoo fan you would like them a lot (the members are huge Mamamoo fans too!)
After listening to the English version of Helicopter, I wouldn't be surprised if it was written in English then changed to Korean. It seems to just flow in English
The relationship between Dreamcatcher and CLC is honestly heartwarming. They're back-stage besties for real, those two groups are always hanging out and even buying each other cakes for birthdays and stuff lol.
They've done some style changing kinda like Dreamcatcher did and have been criminally underrated IMO. I love these girls
You liked Seungyeon, the leader. They are with the same company as (G)I-dle, Cube Entertainment.
She also sang in another group. Its called Witch by Good Girl.
You've mentioned that Yeeun's raps got improved. That's right, this summer she participated in a musical project called "good girl". There were many underground artists involved, a couple of idols including her, former idols. Most of which were rap directed, but not all. Over the course of the project, she has grown tremendously in rap performance and lyrics writing.
I've been addicted to her flow since the debut but now I'm just proud of her. She's my 2nd favourite female rapper between (G)I-dle Soyeon and Mamamoo Moonbyul.
But still she's not even my bias. My bias is Seunghee(the main vocalist). She used to be a leader and the most popular member at the debut. Every1 says that she's underrated/underappreciated vocals.
Wish you'll be reacting to their other songs. No, Me and Black dress.
For the next week I'd recommend another K-pop girl group Momoland. Thank you so much for your reactions. It's really pleasure to watch it. Sorry for my English, much love from Russia.
I love CLC I would recommend Black Dress, No and Me by them
Up!!!
OMG YES BEST
Black Dress is such a banger! Turn it up to 11!
CLC are the senior group to (G)I-DLE. Hyuna actually helped with the production of Hobgoblin and the stylistic choices mirror her former group 4Minute, which was of the same era as 2ne1.
"Their vocals are _nice!"_ Would you say they're... _CrystaL Clear?_ ;)
I HIGHLY recommend listening to DALsooobin MV "Katchup" or "Dive" she has such a great low register. She is sadly underrated despite the immense talent she holds. She even writes and produces all her songs!

Another underrated group, CLC!
If you wanna check out their vocals, watch their "For Cheshire" videos, Sorn, Yeeun and Elkie did solos, Seunghee and Eunbin did a duet and Seungyeon and Yujin did a dance cover.
Also check out Yeeun's song Barbie, she's a rapper but she sang the whole song to show off her versatility!

You like Seungyeon (November 6th, 1996) -Leader,Main Dancer,Lead Vocalist, and sub-rapper.☺
And lets not forget that she is also considered one of THE bests dancers of kpop, among those who know CLC or have seen her dancing at lesst once.
Truly, Austin has great taste in his biases it seems 😌👌
So the one you loved her lower, husky voice, is Seungyeon. She is my heckin' 200% bias. Seunghee, the one with the highest notes, is a very deep close second for me. She's such a powerhouse.
CLC and Dreamcatcher are friends since the "Piri" era! They had a couple of comebacks and had some interactions together.
As usual thanks for the genuine reaction! Looking forward to any of your next videos with your always interesting analysis. 💜
I like that he was able to pinpoint Seunghee as main vocal in hobgoblin
And said that they have nice vocals in Hobgoblin, which is a rap heavy song
Ok so weirdly Hobgoblin was a drastic change from their original concept, then after a while they put it Devil which is actually more similar to their original debut concept, and then Helicopter is pretty close to the strong feminine concept they have made for themselves now.

CLC is one of my favorite groups, they are so so well rounded. They are under Cube, like GIDLE, so they do write and produce a lot of their own music. I believe Yeeun always writes her own raps (as a good rapper should) and she participated in the show Good Girl with helped her break from the mold and gain tons of confidence (it was a joy to watch her journey on the show she grew so much). Seungyeon is the leader and the one you paused to talk about her visuals, she's the main dancer and she has a low, husky voice which I love a LOT. Seunghee is the main vocal, her voice is very warm and on point. Sorn and Elkie sing super super good too. Actually all of them do, Yujin and Eunbin (although Eunbin is more of a lead rapper and maknae extraordinaire). Honestly, I know you love Dreamcatcher, so if you check out more of CLC you are gonna love them too. Personality wise they are very kind and hardworking, care a lot about their fans and they are nuts, just like DC are. They're also very good live, in my opinion. I think you would enjoy this group A LOT.
BY THE WAY, there's lots of videos of them being crazy hilarious, similar to those THIS IS DREAMCATCHER videos.
The one you liked in Helicopter is SeungYeon and she's my bias too ! She's a very good vocalist but she's an amazing dancer, the best from her generation in my opinion ♥️
Also if you like girl with low voice/dark timbre you might want to check out Lee Hi, she's a soloist with a very jazzy and soulful voice :)
CLC is so iconic and so underrated! Black Dress, No, and Me are also great title tracks by CLC!
Seunghee live is a treat. You should absolutely listen to Helicopter and Devil lives. It's SO amazing. These girls are so talented and so underrated and don't get enough love.
just wanted to say that yeeun is an amazing rapper since the debut haha thank you for reacting to my girls (clc) and my boys (exo) 😊😊
Fun note! Hobgoblin was co-written by Hyuna who also helped them during the filming. Not sure if you know who Hyuna is but she's my second favorite former-wonder-girl only behind my love, Sunmi.
Personally CLC contains members that are in my top female dancers (Seungyeon) and rappers (Yeeun).
I honestly LOVE their debut song Pepe and Yeeun rap in it, like it fits the cute concept!! Would definitely love watching you reach to more from them!
The moment Seunghee appears and started singing, he immediately can tell that Seunghee is the main vocalist
I love that you were able to pick up that Seunghee is the main vocalist as soon as she started singing in Hobgoblin. She definitely carries their live vocals. If you’re interested in their covers, they did a special live stage of 4 minute’s Crazy + Super Junior’s Black Suit where I think you get a good sense of the depth of Seunghee’s voice.
Seungyeon’s voice doesn’t get enough credit! I would definitely love if you checked out Luna from f(x) either some of her special performances or free somebody, even so, keep on doin and do you love me!
clc is extremely underrated and have such SOLID vocals!! they’re all rounded and have bopssss for dayssss
I'm glad you liked Seungyeon's voice! She gets a lot of (well deserved) praise for her dancing but not enough people talk about her vocals.
As a sidenote, since you like deeper voices you should really check out BVNDIT some day. I don't know if you would make a video on them (they're a rookie group and not super well known) but either way you would probably like them a lot. They have 5 members and 3 of them have really nice deeper tones. They're also massive Mamamoo fans, we love people with taste. One of the members literally has a Wheein photocard in her phonecase 😂
"Black Dress" is my favorite CLC song and favorite kpop song :D
There is a line in English version of Helicopter -"I'll figure out, 'cause all my idols made it look so easy
/
And if they made it all that far, then I can be a star
/And I'll shine for everyone who's with me here" , which is so meaningful and is done by Seungyeon
9:55 English versions of Korean songs are never easy, Helicopter did a good job but so far the best translated song I've heard is Regular by NCT 127 (a boy group).
5:20 yeah Hobgoblin is definitely "girl crush" and 2NE1 kinda invented Girl Crush. So I could see that.
Yeeun did the rap that you weren't a huge fan of, I actually love it (not sure why I just really like the way her voice is in it) and she kills the rap in Helicopter. Also Devil feels like it could've been a Red Velvet MV.
YES! Low note appreciation! Both Seungyeon (the one you pointed out) and Seunghee have plenty of them.
CLC's one of my favourite underrated group. Oh, and they're good friends with Dreamcatcher. Especially Yeeun, the rapper.
I think they're still underrated... They have such good vocals, they have awesome music and music videos and omg their visuals ❤️
Hobgoblin is a masterpiece created by HyunA herself... you should check her out too :)
The one you pointed out in Hobgoblin and said was visual and beautiful is the same one you like with the lower register in the fringe dress in Helicopter. She's my bias! :D Her name is Seungyeon she's the Leader of the group and Main Dancer. My eyes automatically go to her in every video of CLC I watch lol. Personally my favorite vocals are definitely Seunghee, but Seungyeon just captures my attention more. Oh and the fandom is Cheshire btw
You should totally check out NO by CLC, it got them their first win, and it some of the songs they’re well known for
Sometimes with cute voices it sounds like they coulnd´t control their voice, but Yujin sounds strong and cute at the same time.
C'mon taste! Seungyeon is so underappreciated - great voice, great dancer, insane stage presence. All of CLC are amazing but she is definitely my bias.
And, since you've checked out (G)-Idle, CLC and 2NE1 now, I think you might have to check out 4Minute, who were Cube's original girl group and often compared to 2NE1 when they were both active. I'd recommend Crazy, since it's a fan favourite, What's Your Name, which was one of their biggest hits in Korea, and maybe Volume Up.
i just wanna say i love how when you react to a new group, you watch more than one mv
OMG you reacted CLC! They are so talented, but unfortunately a little bit underrated. They gained more recognition with NO or Black Dress (I think) in South Korea.
For the next I recomend EXID, Berry Good, Gfriend and the duo Davich. Their vocals are so good and strong.
EXID - I Love You, Up & Down and Ah Yeah;
Berry Good - Angel, Don't Believe and Mellow Mellow;
Gfriend - Me Gustas Tu, Apple and Crossroads;
Davichi - Cry Again, Beside Me and Sorry I'm Happy.
Seungyeon's voice is balanced with yujin's high voice
I recommend Ailee, she is a soloist.
The first time I heard her was her live performance of "I Will Always Love You", and I would love to hear your thoughts on her.
Thanks for reacting to CLC.
I hope you react to their dance videos as well especially Yujin's and Seungyeon's. Seungyeon the girl you like, her forte is dancing but she also really possess a very good vocal prowess
The cat in the Hobgoblin video is representing us, their fandom. We are named "Cheshires", after the cat from Alice in Wonderland. It was awesome of them to put us in their MV! 😊 Especially since it's their change of concept one
Btw don't worry if you don't like every song of theirs equally! CLC's strength is that every song has a unique song so naturally it's going to be impossible to like every single one. The fun part is seeing how they rock every style out ;)
I love that you checked CLC out! I only recently stanned them but I've fallen super hard, they're underrated like their pals Dreamcatcher but sadly don't seem to have the same kind of backing from their company when it comes to releases. They're super talented, Seunghee's vocals definitely deserve more attention as does Seungyeon (the girl you liked) 's dancing and Yeeun's rapping imo. Check out the English version of Helicopter it's just as good!
They're also hilarious, them being friends with DC just makes so much sense haha. Chaos in their shared waiting room :')
Definitely give the girls another shot, do another video please! Seungyeon the leader is the one who's vocals you loved the most
Sorn has a UA-cam channel called "PRODUSORN" and has 2 videos where she reacts to CLC music videos by parodying reaction videos on UA-cam.
Thought that was interesting enough to share.
Seunghee and, I believe Seungyeon, also have their own channels. Seunghee does vocal covers and livestreams, and I think Seungyeon mostly does dance covers. Seunghee's channel is under her full name, Oh Seunghee.
You’ll love Yeeun....has one of the best stage presence in kpop
Please react more CLC live!!
the high note made by Seunghee (main vocal)
Seunghee's voice is amazing!
I agree with you, for me Helicopter is my fav as well. And yeah Seungyeon, the one that you liked, is my bias in the group btw. Her dance moves are also pretty good actually and I love it.
You should listen to Ye-eun (the rapper) sang (Mermaid & Barbie) in GoodGirl Show. You’ll be mesmerized by how amazing she sounds. 😉
CLC have a very similar history to Dreamcatcher. They started as a 5 girls group with a bobble gum concept that didn't workout for them. They added two more members and changed their concept for a most darker one. They could be much more successful if only have a better and more supportive company behind them.
DC does have a supportive company well considering they do have the largest profit out of all the groups in DCC and CLC was mismanaged so more like cube was the one who wasn't really supportive
@@mickeymouse7857 I agree completely. I was talking only about Cube not HF. If Dreamcatcher has been part of any other company they probably would have been disbanded already. 👍
Seungyeon is my bias and the maknae Eunbin is my wrecker.
yeeun has always been a good rapper since their debut song pepe which i recommend btw, it just depends on the song tbh
CLC are DC's closest group. But Insomnia are closest to Orbits(Loona's fandom) But we're close with CLC's fandom(cheshire) aswell though.😊
Yay, CLC. I wish I got into them more but I love that they're friends with DC. Their interactions are hilarious.
So, never heard a kpop group sing an all English version of their song, you say? Well * whips out list * once upon a time there was a group called the Wonder Girls who tried to break into the American music market back in the day. They were very well known for their retro-inspired hit "Nobody" which had Korean, Chinese, and English versions. In fact, when they tried to branch out to the American market they had English versions for most of their title tracks. Obviously their efforts in America didn't gain traction but considering that they got to tour w/ the Jonas Bros, star in a Nickelodeon movie, made appearances on Wendy Williams and So You Think You Can Dance, and had merch in the now-defunct Justice stores I'd say that was remarkable at the time.
You should react to them for a future Throwback Thursday. There were 2 "phases" of them, one when they were a kpop group and another when they became an actual band that played instruments. The most well known members are HyunA although she left the group early in their career (she co-wrote Hobgoblin, DC also danced to her song Bubble Pop recently), soloist HA:FELT (Ye-Eun), soloist Sunmi (who left the group before they went to the US then came back during their band phase), and rapper/soloist Yubin (who I've compared Dami to once). Maybe it also helps that they were Yoohyeon's favorite group and the ones who inspired her to become a singer. And she lurves Sunmi, it's so cute. lol
'Like Money' is still a bop. It makes me sad that people forget about it.
SeungYeon and Yujin are my biases! Yujin has the bright voice that you noticed. But CLC is a group like Mamamoo, you end up falling in love with each member because they're all so damn talented. It's a shame that Cube promotes (G)I-dle more because CLC has been around longer. Both SeungYeon and Yujin are great dancers too.
Hey. Hope your doing fantastic. Please react to Kard, they are an underrated group consisting of 2 female idols, jiwoo, Somin, and 2 male idols. BM, and Jseph.
ahh I voted for loona on twitter because theyre my ults and their vocal line is big and amazing but I'm glad you reacted to clc since they're pretty underrated
Yet another group for which I have the same favorite member as Sir Austin!! 🤝
Seungyeon's vocals, visuals, and dancing... are all amazing~ 💖
As others have recommended, some of their other recent songs, "Me", "No", "Black Dress", are really good!
Sadly CLC doesn't have as many songs, for a kpop group that's been around for 5 years or so. 😔
Their releases prior to "Hobgoblin" had a drastically different style, more cutesy and innocent. Coincidentally, the comeback season of Januray 2017, when their musical style took a sharp turn with the release of "Hobgoblin", is the very same comeback season in which Minx re-debuted as Dreamcatcher!! 🤭
Also CLC started out in 2015 as a 5-memeber group I believe, and later on 2 members got added around February 2016. (again similar thing with Dreamcatcher)
So the two groups have quite a lot in common when it comes to their history, so it adds even more to the bond they share! (which everyone else here has been mentioning)
We obviously have good taste! ❤️
Hobgoblin was kind of a desperate risk by the group. They were not doing well, partly because they were switching between the original cute concept and other concepts, and bad luck. Hobgoblin was partly produced by Hyuna (of 4minit, their senior group in CUBE) in term of concept, which did well so they are leaning toward that concept now. I think they had the distinction of being one of the longest running good groups that never had a "win" on the shows till recently.. That win was thanks to Soyeon of G-Idle that wrote and produced several of their new songs. Don't remember which one won. :-) I just appreciate them. LOL.
I'd like to start off by saying that I don't typically comment publicly on UA-cam videos but I've been absolutely loving your content. ^^ CLC and Dreamcatcher are my favorite active groups in Kpop currently but I'm also lowkey a "Kpop Boomer" lmao
With that said, I think it would be really interesting to compare the two different versions of Pepe from CLC! Pepe was their debut MV (and still a personal favorite) but Sorn and Seunghee recently did a jazz version that I'm praying ends up on Spotify someday.
If it's okay to recommend more groups for a throwback video, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts and impressions on:
~miss A: Bad Girl Good Girl, Hush, &/or Only You
~Girl's Day: Something, I'll Be Yours
~Stellar: Sting, Vibrato, &/or Marionette
~Ladies' Code: The Rain, My Flower
**Bonus: here are some songs that I really love that I think you might appreciate or be interested in!
~Younha ft. HA:TFELT, CHEETAH: Get It?
~Stella Jang: Villain, Vanishing Paycheck
~Zion.t: Eat, No Makeup
~CLC: Breakdown, Depression
My favorite gg! I love CLC 💛💛
Please react more of them💛
They've been around for a while and never quite separated themselves from the crowd. In the last year or two they've started to get more notice and build momentum. They've always been a solid group with potential to be big but haven't in the past been able to create a distinct style or identity.
7:27 Yeeun is one of the top rappers in Kpop tho, she writes her own bars in every song, her delivery is on point every time and she is soooo coooool.
CLC are Dreamcatcher-adjacent :) They shared a waiting room together - there's some videos on Happyface entertainment channel featuring their antics from Mar 2019
Look forward for more CLC reactions❤️
"Hobgoblin" was almost like a turning point in CLC's career, like a literal turn. Like Dreamcatcher, they started off with a much cuter concept and then with Hobgoblin, they completely flipped it and did girl crush. In was kind of met with mixed response since it was a new image for them but at the same time, some people felt like CUBE Entertainment was trying to turn CLC in to 4Minute, their previous girl group who recently disbanded. Especially with Yeeun's rapping, it was in a similar style to 4Mintue Hyuna's rap style (she was her mentor). So "Hobgoblin" was kind of an expriament in a sense for CLC. They've definitely evolved and grown off that in to their own voice since then.
If you want to react to LOONA I suggest you wait until they have their comeback in a few weeks so that you can hear their latest song and then go backwards if you like.
If you don't want to wait until they have thier comeback I suggest you listen to their song "Butterfly" first, it's a very beautiful and diverse Mv!
There is a other kpop group that has amazing vocal there are a lot of members but it's super beautiful and they sound amazing live This group is Loona hope you can react to them
Your analysis of Hobgoblin versus Devil was super spot on. Hobgoblin was the comeback where they basically rebooted themself with a brand new girl crush concept. Since they were rebranding, the comeback was a lot more individualistic as it depicted the charms of the girls and basically set their new personas and styles. The rap section was less established because the rapper was still learning her style and flow and you can really see her development over the years as you mentioned. The 2NE1 influence may have come about from Hyuna. Hyuna was a member of 4minute, the major girl group of their label in the 2nd generation (the generation where 2NE1 dominated). Hyuna was placed in charge of CLC's rebooting which is probably why it borrows so much from 2nd gen. If you watch 4minute's "Crazy" you'll see a lot of similarities between their style and Hobgoblin's. Hyuna was also the mentor for the rapper which is why their rap styles (especially in the beginning) are similar.
Wish you reacted to "No" or "Me" but anyways thank you for reacting to these ❤
If you ever feel like knowing them better I recommend watching Yeeun's (main rapper) "good girl" stages
yess austin its way better now !!!!
I think it's too loud now. 😅
@@SirAustin its okayyy its still way better than the previous, could always do testing and experiments to figure out the perfect volume 😄
Distance is probably my favourite song by them, even maybe one of my top. I’d suggest having a listen to that and I Like It. Thanks for the reaction 💜
thankyou for reaction CLC, please know CLC more
I really like CLC! You should check maybe “No” and “Me” (their best song in my opinion). They have really great bside too. They are under Cube (the same company of (G)I-dle) and they debut as 5 members. Since they debut, they did cute concept, but one day they comeback with Hobgoblin, and they get kinda big. But the problem is that their company put them on hiatus and comeback some months later with a cute concept. So the chance for them to become more big really said 📉. And the girls don’t even like cute concept so... Helicopter was released in September, and everyone was really excited since the last comeback was in September 2019
Their company kinda suck, but I’m sure that with better promotion they can get big like (G)I-dle.
Thank you CLC is from Cube. Vocal is important in the company
i'm also unfamiliar with CLC i like them so far. as always your vids brighten my day/night
For once we don't have the same bias , this time is my bias wrecker 😂 CLC is a really talented group but they are still too underappreciated. As always I loved your reaction, and give yourself an extra like for the Miley reference
"Me" is my favorite song of theirs. Highly recommend.
CLC has so many good songs. Go check em out all. Black Dress is a banger !! Thanks for reacting to them!
Why did not nobody recommend him “meow meow” ? Cause he loves cat he could enjoy that song by clc 🤣 listen to that!!
Please react to more CLC. PLEASE react to black dress, Me, Where are you? and NO. pleeeeeaaase. and also please look for some live vocals to react to because their live vocals are phenominal!!
OOOOooo so I think you would really like the solo artist Lee Hi. She's amazing, her voice is just ugh so great! I think you would like her recent song HOLO. Other good tracks by her are breath (such an amazing song), rose ( I especially like the begin again perforce from this year), 1234 (again the begin again performance is amazing), but really all her songs are just *chefs kiss* and so is her voice 💕. She debuted when she was 16 and she's 24 now. :)
hope u react to more from them, they have slappers, like me, black dress, no, and even their debut pepe. thank you
You should hear Really Bad Guy, it was a soundtrack song for a tv show that the Main Vocalist Seunghee and Main rapper Yeeun did and you can hear a different sound to Seunghee's voice. Her talking voice is quite low but she tends to get high notes since she's the main vocalist. My favourite voice was her in the La Vie En Rose demo which was going to be their comeback after black dress but the song got sold to izone which meant clc didn't get to come back for a year :(
Their discography is one of the best, I recommend the No.1 album from them
If you wanna hear more of their vocals I'd greatly suggest their title track "Where Are You" its a retro ballad song and a fan favorite ❤️
The English version of Helicopter is actually quite well done. Also (G)I-DLE has an English version of thier debut "Latata" (which I think you have yet to see) that is very good as well. They released a very cool lyric video for the English version that is completely different from the traditional "lyric video".
CLC has many bops
LOVE CLC FOREVER
If you like singers with lower registers you should definitely check out BVNDIT, they have several members who have a lower register! Plus I think as a Mamamoo fan you would like them a lot (the members are huge Mamamoo fans too!)
I love you 🥺🥺💖
Thank you for reacting to this girls
Their fandom name is Cheshire. Here's a beautiful cover from their member Elkie of Sinatra's Fly Me To the Moon.
Black Dress absolutely SLAPS
Seungyeon's dance break is iconic (The girl whose voice you liked)
After listening to the English version of Helicopter, I wouldn't be surprised if it was written in English then changed to Korean. It seems to just flow in English
Firts of all ,thank you so much for did this video and thanks for give your interesting opinión about Clc , they are amazing 👍
