OH yes, that song is why I know him! I watched that performance after hearing the song and honestly died in that moment, haha. That’s why i’m familiar with him and couple other members in 127. 🤗💙
Simon says is a children's game where the kids have to do whatever simon says. They incorporated that concept where people cant just tell them what and what not to do.. so they're a real vibe killa'! Hahahah
Simon Says is the era that SM decided to debuting sub unit WayV. Lots of group scenes in Simon says don’t have all 10 members of 127. The falling scene @5:15 actually hints the missing member - Winwin, the only Chinese member, will disappear from 127. Same hint is also in the MV of NCT 127’s song ‘Regular ‘. In Regular’s MV, Winwin is the one jump off the rooftop, but it’s the newest member Jungwoo landed with 127. When WayV debuted, they covered Chinese’s version of two 127 song - ‘Regular’ and ‘Come back’. Regular actually has three versions: Korean(127), English(127), and Chinese(WayV). Someone said that the three version represents dream, reality, and future respectively. If you can react these three all together, that must be fun to watch! Oh, by the way, dream, reality and future are the three main parts in NCT’s concept.
I believe in the Simon Says supremacy! I love this track so much! Like someone else said the one who you asked about at the start was Taeyong, he is 127's leader, main dancer, main rapper, center...and also NCT's leader as a whole. Taeyong is mu ultimate bias and he's so incredible he is what made me fall in love with all of NCT! Also, the dance practice for Simon Says is sick! I highly recommend checking out the dance practices in the future :)
I’m glad you’re still checking NCT out even if the sound isn’t always your style! Also, first I just wanted to let you know NCT Dream’s new song comes out on June 28th, it’s called “Hello Future” so that would be a great first time with them! But yeah“Simon Says” is one of my all time favorite NCT 127 songs. The vocal build up to Taeil’s high note is insane and the way it bounced from Doyoung to Jaehyun to Jungwoo to Haechan and then Taeil is heaven to my ears. Some of the lines they say “nct noise you can’t break me” and “simon says we’re a real vibe killer” is directly talking about the backlash they get on their music. They own their sound and I love that. This was also the last music video that had all 10 members, as Winwin joined the new unit WayV a little bit after this. And yes the high note was Taeil! Pronounced “Tay-ill” but just more fluid. And yeah Jaehyun’s screen time was unfortunately shorter here. 1:41 That’s Taeyong! Leader of NCT as a whole and NCT 127, main dancer, main rapper, and center of the group. He played the role of Simon in the mv, controlling the members 4:45 that’s Jungwoo! a beautiful vocalist I highly recommend checking out NCT 127’s bsides from their albums, the sound is usually very different from their title tracks, a lot more r&b and some ballads. NCT’s vocal skills are absolutely incredible and deserve way more appreciation. I recommend (for 127): - “Highway To Heaven (English ver.)” (this has an mv) - “White Night” - “Back 2 U (AM 01:27)” live during the Neo City: Seoul The Origin concert Also I’m glad you’re gonna do a guide soon, I still recommend watching this first part to the overall NCT guide since it explains their concept well and just exposes you more to their universe - A guide to NCT [2020]: The Units (Part 1) And then the guide to NCT 127 I recommend is: - “a subpar guide to nct 127” by softjun In general some more recommendations for NCT are: NCT U - “The 7th Sense”, “90’s Love”, and “Faded In My Last Song” (b-side) NCT 127 - “Limitless”, “Chain”, and “Cherry Bomb” NCT Dream - “Hot Sauce”, “Rainbow” (b-side), and “We Go Up” WayV - “Kick Back”, “Action Figure”, and “Love Talk”
Oh awesome! I will definitely check out the new song from NCT Dream for sure when it drop, thank you for telling me! And yeah, it’s unrealistic to expect to like everything single song of course, but i won’t give up on a group for that ever. I’m enjoying getting into them and I really appreciate the guide recommendation and unit song recommendations too! I’m going to add a sub unit to my reaction list for them next week so stay tuned 🤗💙
@@alyri16 Because some of us think his talents are more important than his visuals. Also this is 3 years old, I’m sure RJ has learned that Taeyong is a main visual as well since then. It’s not that deep.
The beginning part is sampled from a Newzeland couples wedding. It’s a worrier song from their tribe, a blessing to the new couple and it has a deep meaning. I saw the original video on UA-cam before. It’s a very touching song.
@@rjkpop ua-cam.com/video/QUbx-AcDgXo/v-deo.html Sorry I can’t find one with translation, but if I remember correctly , it says: Right is always right, truth stays forever truth My child, stay honest to yourself I’m worried about you, now listen to me: What is the question/burden in your heart? How long you’ve been carrying it? It must be hard on you, it seems never end Doesn’t matter how long it takes you to think, the answer is right in your heart Yes, it is Yes, it is It relates to the lyrics of Simon Says. NCT is a SM group. SM has a huge concept that connects most of its boys/girls groups. Their songs usually have deep meanings especially their title songs. At the early years, SM believed: audience would get the message through the music and video, so, no lyrics! Seems it didn’t work out that way. From my point of view, if a SM group’s song doesn’t have cc, you better check the lyrics.
I mostly listen to NCT 127 so my recommendation would be mostly from them. Not sure if you've seen/heard NCT 127 Regular English version.. If not, react to that one too. They specifically released it for the US market and promoted it in the US. There's also Highway to Heaven English version (they filmed the MV in Mojave Desert, California) Superhuman - this is in Korean but they performed it a lot in the US too. I found that a lot of people reacting to it who have background in music enjoyed this a lot. Sit Down, Mad Dog and if you can, try listening to NCT 127's whole Neo Zone album. Kick It is part of this album. To hear more of NCT 127's vocals, I'd recommend their ballads: Back 2 U (I recommend the live version from their neo city seoul/japan concert - you can find it here on youtube), White Night, Long Slow Distance (this one's Japanese), No Longer Some of their earlier songs: Limitless, Cherry Bomb, Touch, Firetruck, Chain
This song hit hard on me at the first time I heard it, just because the song, how they composed the music. So if you're nerveous, maybe you should, because at first my ears doesn't ready for it. But I think all of 127 song made like that 😁 For the lyrics, Simon Says lyrics is so strong, full of determination, strong statement and a bit cocky. Next you have to check Superhuman, another unique one from them :)
It would be awesome if you could react to some of the lyric videos as well as the MV (ONLY IF YOU ARE INTERESTED OFC) just so you could get kinda familiar with their voices and see who sings what part. ❤️
best bridge to exist ✅ the first member you asked about was taeyong and the second was jungwoo and yes the high note was taeil my ult fav person ever 🤭
i swear i really really disliked this song for the longest time until one day i just woke up and LOVED IT. now i can’t go a day without ‘bless me achoo’ or mark’s ‘that was nice’ passing through my head. the one you asked for in the beginning is called taeyong by the way :) he’s not only 127’s but also nct as a whole’s leader taeil is pronounced tae and then il… normally korean forenames are always two syllables so you split them up accordingly. (occasionally you also find one syllable names but not nearly as often as two syllable ones… way back it was common for only higher ups, especially those of royal blood, to have one syllable names… sorry for the random information lol) tae-il tae-yong jae-hyun do-young jung-woo hae-chan
haha, I guess that can happen. Maybe that will happen one day with me when I listen to Punch, lol. Thanks so much for the pronunciation breakdown, that helps a lot! You’re awesome 🤗💙
4.49 / 5.02 i think you taking about HAECHAN . He is one of the main vocalist and under 2 subunit Nct127 and NctDream I like him the most.he is very talented has a unique voice ,good dancer And his personal character is amazing. Very funny and playful ❤️🌻🐻
See, I always end up speaking when it’s too late haha, I was actually asking about Jungwoo. I’ve since found out who he was, but I know Haechan from From Home. Love his voice so much! 🤗💙
I highly highly recommend you react to NCT U - the 7th sense. This is the song where the whole NCT start with, and the song delivers a strong message. Unfortunately, the MV doesn’t include subtitles, maybe you can react to the MV and lyrics in one video. Most members in NCT 127 are the older ones in NCT group. For me, I feel that SM uses NCT 127 more like an experimental unit to tryout all different styles, while they put WayV on a ‘safe mode’. NCT U is the place you can see how every NCT member shines.
@@rjkpop I like your reaction 😄 very honest, genuine reaction. I don’t mind you pause, rewind or watch it second time, because that’s what we all do when we appreciate a good song～😊
if u really loved taeil’s voice and are interested in really good vocals, nct u from home rearranged live at mama 2020 is phenomenal!!
OH yes, that song is why I know him! I watched that performance after hearing the song and honestly died in that moment, haha. That’s why i’m familiar with him and couple other members in 127. 🤗💙
The way you saw jaehyun then looked into the camera cause same 😔
hahahaha…he’s just😍 wow..breathtaking
the way I didn't even notice I commented this under someone else's comment omg 😭
Feel like you'd enjoy NCT U's music. A lot of western influence in the sound. Make a Wish, 7th Sense, 90's Love and BOSS(dance practice) are amazing.
Maybe I’ll add them in along with 127 reactions since they have so many songs! 🧐 That would be fun, plus i’m anxious to hear what they sound like! 🤗💙

- “Back 2 U (AM 01:27)” live during the Neo City: Seoul The Origin concert
Also I’m glad you’re gonna do a guide soon, I still recommend watching this first part to the overall NCT guide since it explains their concept well and just exposes you more to their universe
- A guide to NCT [2020]: The Units (Part 1)
And then the guide to NCT 127 I recommend is:
- “a subpar guide to nct 127” by softjun
In general some more recommendations for NCT are:
NCT U - “The 7th Sense”, “90’s Love”, and “Faded In My Last Song” (b-side)
NCT 127 - “Limitless”, “Chain”, and “Cherry Bomb”
NCT Dream - “Hot Sauce”, “Rainbow” (b-side), and “We Go Up”
WayV - “Kick Back”, “Action Figure”, and “Love Talk”

Taeil is the high note.

The best bridge in kpop for me
Simon Says sound is so unique that i made this my alarm and has never failed to wake me up. Lol
it's worth watching the dance practice for this!!! It's insane!
I'm on an NCT marathon on your channel right now and im loving your videos!

please react to their dance practice too because they're so good at dancing
Will do🤗
Just a heads up if you keep reacting to NCT (or other artists from SM) their Music Videos from 2018 and before don't have English subtitles
Ahh okay good to know thank you!!
Imo Simon Says sounds weirder than Punch haha. The bridge is indeed my favourite part too, the instrumental is very nice at that part.
You might be right about that, haha, and somehow i find it easier to follow along with lol🤗💙
You should really watch the dance practice to this! I might like it even better than the MV.
Adding it!!🤗💙
Oh win win the bias wrecker
Superhuman please. It’s very different from Simon Says, but “amazing “ different.
This is actually the next one i’m watching, haha!!🤗💙
React to nct 127- regular english version & high way to heaven english version PLEASE
Definitely will 🤗💙
Try regular
On my list actually! 💙🤗
this does not look like the SM mv, the intro here is shown....are you watching SM
