The one catching your eye is Donghwa. He was a jyp trainee for 7 years. He's our main dancer and a vocalist. He dislocated his arm during their hot debut performance, so let’s wish him well
I get that these trending concepts\styles can get boring when too many groups are using them. But imo if any aesthetic is gonna be THING for a while with 5th Gen then I'm 100% down for this BND and now Kickflip type of playfulness, colorfulness, humor, experimentation with classic pop sounds, youthfulness without it being too childish. I love the dark sexy grimy concepts, they're my first love when it comes to kpop. But kpop is pop and imo pop should be fun more often than not and goddamnit I want more bops with silly mvs.
@@Koko3op Bro the fact that you were able to recognize Donghwa in three different videos, without even seeing his face, only by his dancing is crazy to me
I’m so glad you like them. Knock knock and like a monster have such funky vibes that just bring a smile to my face which hasn’t happened with recent boy groups for me personally. They should be up loading their dance practice today I think.
I find it interesting because I've not listened to Boys Next Door, so Kickflip was fresh for me. Also fresh in the sense of JYPE boygroup. I wouldn't call NEXZ, SKZ, or 2PM, or even, previously GOT7 to be a 'cute' leaning group. The one time they did cute, for a BG was really with Just Right by GOT7. So to me, this was them branching out in having that 'cute' playful teen concept but for a BG.
Donghwa entered kpop agency without any skills, look at him now! I'm so proud of him. He's my Bias Wrecker. My Bias is a rapper wearing pink hoodie in Umm Great, Amaru, who co wrote Mama Said, Umm Great, and Like a Monster. Donghwa, your favorite co wrote Umm Great too.
The amazing thing abt Donghwa is that he actually used to not like dancing bc he thought he wasn't good at it but then he locked in and look at him now
Their leader kyehoon was actually picked by bangchan to be in stray kids and to participate in the reality show for the making of the group. 1 of i believe 14 picked by him. He was very young though and kind of went through the same as bang chan with GOT7 and was not able to be part of skz. Bangchan has promoted him and talked about him many times since and many call him bangchans youngest child. I believe he spent 10 years as a trainee, but i could be wrong. He was part of LOUD with 3racha as well. Still learning about them but so far i like. Also it's funny you mentioned shaved heads because hyunjin already did that. He wanted something different and was feeling like everything was getting similar like you are saying. Also they seem to have a member like Han that can rap and sing very well.
Fun fact: Donghwa dislike dance before because he was sooo bad at it. But then puberty hits him (his voice changed) so there's nothing left to practice except for dance and that's when he started to practice hard and now he likes dance the most 😂
When you said "let me ruin my mood" in the beginning I got even more excited HAHAHAHA 10:35 That's what I live by honestly and that's what really surprised me with Kickflip not just the vocals but the layering, harmonies, tones all of it! And the fact that Donghyeon who really gagged me with his tone and just vocal ability is only 17 has me extremely excited to hear even more of what he can do and his growth as a vocalist. You actually do have a really great eye Donghwa is a GREAT dancer he's just got IT! I'm considering joining patreon because I'm dying to see your reaction to the other songs especially See you on tomorrow (even though it might not be your style the vocalllssss) I was genuinely getting emotional with that song😫 If things continue like this they will be my ROTY for sure I NEED JYP TO KEEP THIS GOING AND ALSO STEP IT UP A LITTLE!! One last thing I LOVE THEIR PERSONALITIES AND THEIR GROUP DYNAMIC they're just so loveable and funny I've already adopted Keiju he's too adorable😭😭
I’m so glad their personalities hit!! I’m proud of how far my eye has come. Donghwa is such a stand out. And yes you should cos I LOVED See you on tomorrows vocals.
I had a feeling you'd like either Knock Knock or Like A Monster lol. Happy to see Like A Monster get some love because it's so underrated. The least played/mentioned on the album. But the song itself, the beat, the vocals and even the choreo and styling are elite imho. Justice for Like A Monster! 😅
I loveeee that you like them. I've been into kpop for about 1.5 years now and I've never stanned a rookie group bc I'm just not impressed much. But I'm stanning Kickflip. They're good. I'm in.
they really delivered! the fact that i don't like any boynextdoor title track and loved this debut made me wonder why people were comparing them, but your reaction makes me realize that it's truly all about production, harmonies and vocal layers now i can see that even though they can have similar concepts, the music is very different
I agree, we gotta get some diversity in the styling here. If they're going for the whole relatable boys from the neighborhood vibe, fine. But real kids don't all have the same 2 hair styles and shop at the same knockoff streetware clothing store lol
The one you kept pointing out was donghwa but in the like a monster performance the person you pointed out was donghyeon the first you pointed out in this performance was donghwa though
We have been exposed these past years to empty and short songs marketed to TikTok that mostly don’t go anywhere and with little to none harmonies and special vocals , that when we hear one with a bit of that we go crazy
I’m actually surprised that JYP now has a group like this because I would expect something like this to come from a lesser known company. This reminded me of a group that debut last year called ‘ARrc’ who are in the same company as Billlie.
JYPE just struck the luck with vocalist with NMIXX and Kickflip, and street dancer like with Nexz and ITZY. Anyway, I'm happy someone also hyping Like a Monster, that song is sexy in some way and make wanna chill dance.
I think that all groups have a similar aesthetic because that's what's safe. Kpop to me is a game of marketing, so if a group has a concept that is too niche or dividing, then they wont have enough broad appeal to gain new fans globally. Take TheKingDom as an example (my faves), they started with the concept of historical kings with interesting styling/costumes and told a story with their songs. That got them a loyal but small fanbase who were into the concept, but they did not have enough broad appeal to grow as a group, so their latest comeback has them in a modern concept. So while it would be nice to have groups with more interesting aesthetics, I think that big companies like JYP are too scared to have a group that ""fails"" to give them any concept that is too out of the norm.
Yes exactly! You've expanded what i wanted to say but tbh the concept didn't need to be that outlandish. Starting with some different hairstyles would be a nice start lol. The black regular hair is a bit played out!
Do you choose your bias mostly because of dancing or vocals? Cause I watch so many videos and can't quite figure it out yet. Like if someone grabbed you with their dancing at first sight, could you change your bias later, or usually whoever grabs you first IS your bias
I’m pretty unloyal when it comes to surface level talent lol. If you grab me for whatever reason you’ll be my favourite and that can depend on either talent cos there’s some great vocalists that bore me and some dancers that don’t move me. I don’t think my bias has ever changed tho
23:04 that is actually not him LOL that's donghyeon with the smooth vocals, the youngest, he's good at dancing too though. The one who kept catching your eye for his dancing skills is donghwa. i don't know why foreigners find it so difficult to differentiate between kpop idols lmao cos to me donghwa's face is so unique; his features i mean.
Huh? They’re wearing black on a black stage lool that has nothing to do with being a foreigner since I clearly found him in other videos even when they’re dancing at a distance. Why would I recognise their faces?

The one you pointed out is donghwa, and yes he is the main dancer lol nice catch
YAAY! Knew it
you can tell lol, he was the sharpest and the most powerful among them
@@dizdude897 which is impressive since he came from a main vocal academy and only learned dancing at jyp, but 7 years will do that to you
@goodvibes7913 yeah he got good foundation in vocals so jype hone his dancing skills to the maximum. jype are known to be great dancers
That beat for like a monster is NASTYYYYYYYY .... That chourusssss is sooo real early 2000's sauce oh my goshhh
The way UT SWITCHES FROM THAT NEW JACK SWING TO PEAK 2000s nasty bass in the chorus is crazy
I love that I their voices are distinct and I can tell when another member sings. Lots of groups these days have uniform voices.
The one catching your eye is Donghwa. He was a jyp trainee for 7 years. He's our main dancer and a vocalist. He dislocated his arm during their hot debut performance, so let’s wish him well
dislocated what?
@@kpop.factory Arm i think
@@kpop.factory his arm, watch the ummm great hot debut performance. He confirmed it today

I hear this !
Bro recognizes a main dancer as soon as he sees them
My eye does not miss!
@@Koko3op Bro the fact that you were able to recognize Donghwa in three different videos, without even seeing his face, only by his dancing is crazy to me
That was the exact same time i recognized donghwa's dance while watching the dance practice
they kinda remind me of ITZY debut where everyone was confused of the sound because it's different but eventually liking it after years
I’m so glad you like them. Knock knock and like a monster have such funky vibes that just bring a smile to my face which hasn’t happened with recent boy groups for me personally. They should be up loading their dance practice today I think.

Donghwa co wrote Umm Great only not Like a monster.
@eliokyy1 stand corrected. Imma edit it now. Sorry
The amazing thing abt Donghwa is that he actually used to not like dancing bc he thought he wasn't good at it but then he locked in and look at him now
A friend of mine said that it reminded them of if GOT7 was produced by SM and was stationed at RV and F(X)’s producers
Yessss! I was feeling such an early GOT7/SM vibe too 🧎♀️
"I want ruin my mood" proceeds to fall in love with the group haha
13:10 He's indeed the "main dancer" 😂, he's Donghwa
That’s a perfect way to describe it, the music feels alive. I’m excited to see how they develop
Their potential is limitless
In 'Like a monster' you were picking out the maknae Donghyeon but in the others it was Donghwa
Their leader kyehoon was actually picked by bangchan to be in stray kids and to participate in the reality show for the making of the group. 1 of i believe 14 picked by him. He was very young though and kind of went through the same as bang chan with GOT7 and was not able to be part of skz.

He wanted something different and was feeling like everything was getting similar like you are saying. Also they seem to have a member like Han that can rap and sing very well.
yes kyehoon has been a trainee since 2015!
Fun fact: Donghwa dislike dance before because he was sooo bad at it. But then puberty hits him (his voice changed) so there's nothing left to practice except for dance and that's when he started to practice hard and now he likes dance the most 😂
Hahhaa crazy! He’s amazing
reminds me of hyunjin
6:30 last comment but thank you for calling them unique 😭 they’ve been getting dragged by other fandoms for supposedly plagiarizing their concepts
When you said "let me ruin my mood" in the beginning I got even more excited HAHAHAHA 10:35 That's what I live by honestly and that's what really surprised me with Kickflip not just the vocals but the layering, harmonies, tones all of it!

It’s SOOOO GOOD
I ENJOYED YOUR REACTION AND WITH YOUR COMMENTS I CAUGHT SOME DETAILS THAT I MISSED, THANK YOU
Listen to knock knock the vocals are insane
He listened to the entire album over on Patreon
I loveeee that you like them. I've been into kpop for about 1.5 years now and I've never stanned a rookie group bc I'm just not impressed much. But I'm stanning Kickflip. They're good. I'm in.
WE IN THIS TWIN!
they really delivered! the fact that i don't like any boynextdoor title track and loved this debut made me wonder why people were comparing them, but your reaction makes me realize that it's truly all about production, harmonies and vocal layers

Same, I never liked bnd songs 😅

THEY ATE PLEASE and yessss vocals good = the job is done for meee
Please react to Queenz eye! They're the best dance girl group in 4th gen, and their talent is insane

I like everything in 'Like a monster': cool & cute!

For me they are the male equivalent to Nmixx!!! ❤❤
Agreed!!
So good.
6:27 Speaking of shaved heads, how are we feeling about Hyunjin's?
He looks perfect!
Donghwa, your favourite reminds me of Grommet with his cute smile and teeth 🥹🥹🥹🥹

Please react kickflip Knock-knock. Its good too
There is no reacts to Taeyeon anymore?
