I read Crown as being about a boy with horns that feels different until he meets a person with wings. Like, there's the line "are your wings the same pain as mine?". And through loving them they learn to love the thing that makes them unique. So because of that person they now view their horns as a crown on their head. That's just my take. I just got into TXT fairly recently but I've always loved some of their songs and if I'm honest, Crown might be my favorite kpop song, it's at least in the top 2 or 3
There's also a theory among us Gays™ that it might be about a boy finding another boy who's been through the same path of discovering their sexualities and who they are. The "horns" and "wings" represent them being fallen angels because it has some religious connotations. It's just a theory though and it has nothing to do with the members, so please don't throw hate towards me 🤗❤️
@@adrianrm07 I love that. Tbh I only follow the "correct" storyline enough to know the main ideas, I love finding my own meaning too. If they didn't want us to find our own meanings and importance in the music they would spoon feed us the entire plot. At least that's what I'm telling myself 😅
i don't remember which show but one time txt performed run away and all the idols started crying... like we even could see their tears. the thing about txt is their lyrics are sad while the song and melody is kinda upbeat
i laughed out loud when you said soobin might be your bias. before txt debuted, a lot of jin stans were drawn to soobin for some reason without knowing anything about him. then during txt's debut show, part of soobin's info/tmi was that "inside soobin's heart: jin sunbaenim". he's a huge jin fan and they've had so many cute interactions since then. i hope you continue reacting to txt, their discographies is one of my favourites and the boys are all great :)
TXT’s concept I would say could be summarised as ‘story-telling.’ Their entire discography is broken into chapters with each one telling its own story. The first series of chapters [The Dream Chapters] tells the story of the boys transitioning from boyhood to adolescence, with each album representing 3 stages of this transition. - The Dream Chapter: Star [debut mini album / title track: Crown / 5 tracks / March 4th 2019] - tells the story of the boys feeling anxious about changes in their minds and bodies but finding friends who feel a similar anxiety, eventually coming together under one dream to build a new tomorrow. So while Crown (and Run Away etc. can definitely be read as songs about a crush/significant other, within the context of their wider story it becomes about each other). - The Dream Chapter: Magic [first studio album / title track: Run Away / 8 tracks / 21st October 2019] - their first studio album continues this story of youth by narrating the magical moments the boys spend together as they experience new things and feel as if they are on top of the world. - The Dream Chapter: Eternity [mini album / title track: Can’t You See Me? / 6 tracks / 18 May 2020] - the final album in this series sees the boys wake up from their dreams and face the weight of the reality of the world; the boys feel lost and incomplete but continue to stick together. The following chapter [the Chaos Chapters] continues the narrative from where the dream chapter left off. - The Chaos Chapter: Freeze [studio album / title track: 0x1=lovesong / 8 tracks / 31 May 2021] - The reality which the boys realized in their ‘eternity’ album has only become harsher, as the dreamlike life the boys once lived is gone, leaving them feeling empty and frozen. This is until the boys meet ‘you’ who is able to awaken the love inside them. - The Chaos Chapter: Fight or Escape [repackaged album / title track: LO$ER=LOVER / 11 tracks / 17 August 2021] - This album is a repackage of the ‘Freeze’ album, so it includes the 8 previously released songs from freeze, in addition to 3 new tracks. The other day in their MMA performance they revealed the title of their next set of chapters will be ‘The Name Chapters.’ In between each ‘main’ series of chapters ‘minisodes’ are released which act as an interlude/transition between chapters. - Minisode 1: Blue Hour [mini album / title track: Blue Hour / 5 tracks / 26 October 2020] - this minisode followed the conclusion of the dream chapter and tells the story of how the boy’s face the unique and unprecedented challenges of the Covid pandemic. - Minisode 2: Thursday’s Child [mini album / title track: Good Boy Gone Bad / 5 tracks / 9 May 2022] - following the chaos chapter, minisode 2 narrates the experience of a first breakup by each song speaking to a respective stage of grief.
TXT don't have fixed positions other than soobin being the leader! They all obviously have certain strengths, but all in all they're capable of every position 👍
It's one of my favorite things about them - they each get to focus on doing what they do well without worrying about who is officially what. They're all ridiculously good at everything 🤣
I know some people tend to put it like Soobin: Leader Yeonjun: Main Dancer Beomygu: Mood Maker Taehyun: Lead Vocal Kai: Visual But those aren't official and any of them could swap if needed
I truly believe Run Away is one of the greatest kpop songs of all time. 50 years from now it's going to be a classic. The TXT song that's played on every classic station in Korea. I love a lot of their songs and even have some I like more than Run Away but it's kind of like their Fake Love. It's just a perfect song and captures their essence so well. It's a song that could never be anyone else's.
10:38 “ that’s the Huening Kai dude, right?” 😂 yes it is him. And I agree, he has a very recognizable faceL! 21:05 yes, the one with pink hair is the one you are talking about. His name isn’t “Yaojun” though, it’s YEONJUN( pronounced yon-joon). And yes the one in blue hair is Soobin! 22:19 That’s Taehyun. His vocals are on the next level! 25:09 that’s Beomgyu. He has a very deep voice, which wasn’t as obvious with the vocal effects going on. And yes he was the one with the deeper voice in the previous song. Both him and Soobin have pretty deep voices!
Now that I finished the video I will recommend slower songs, they are b-sides: Nap of a Star, 20 cm, Maze in the Mirror, Ghosting, Trust Fund Baby, Opening Sequence, Lonely Boy. Their Japanese songs are so beautiful so if you want to check some out: Ito, Ring, Hitori No Yoru and Everlasting Shine are my favorites. I think for title-tracks you just missed Can't you see me and Loser=Lover, and they are both really good!
TXT is actually my second favorite group after BTS. I'm so happy you are checking them out. All their songs are complete bops. They also have their own story line if you want to check it out in the future.
TXT the it boys. They are the choreography kings of the 4th gen, their performance skills are also spectacular. Of course on debut people automatically had huge expectations for them as they were the first new group from Big Hit since BTS and I will say they didn't disappoint. For how tall they are their choreography is amazing, and their B-sides are some of the best in the business. Definitely worth a deeper dive.
My favorite TXT song is Can't You See Me! Yeah they got some bops for sure... I remember first getting into TXT I knew after the first song that Taehyun was my bias and he has been ever since my wrecker however changes every comeback lol
same for cant you see me and same for taehyun being a bias. Always nice to see other people love Can't You See Me as much as I do because I keep hearing it's their least popular? like what?
And yes, Beomgyu is the one with the deeper voice! His tone is light and breathy 👍 Taehyuns voice has also recently been really raspy, and the live performances of love song do really well showcasing it! (Note that all performances from their comeback showcase stagrs are the best ones, video quality wise)
If you want something slower where they show off their vocals, i highly recomend theese: 20cm, drama, anti-romantic and loser lover (not slow, but has some really good vocals). Also not me posting 100 comments 😭, im sorry
I’m sure others have recommended it but if you want to get to know them I highly suggest ‘a helpful guide to txt (2022)’ by Beomie Bear !! They’re honestly one of the most entertaining and lovable groups/people out there. Never a dull moment with txt!!
I don’t know if someone said it to you but Namjoon took part in the conception of 0x1=lovesong And my fav songs of them are : - nap of the star - frost -opening scene (honestly the 5 songs of the album)
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE!!!!!! pls keep your TXT reactions, they are completely worth it, like their music (OMG THEIR B-SIDES???), their talent, their visuals, their personalities, everything related to TXT is amazing
OMGGGGGGG TXT!!!!! They are AWESOME!!!!!! I am really looking forward to your reaction!! ❤️❤️❤️ I saw them in person 2 weeks ago, and sir… let me tell you… THEY ARE SO FREAKING BEAUTIFUL 😭✨
I have one more TXT ballad to request. Their song, "Opening Sequence" on the MNET comeback Show. The Choreo is beautiful too. Please do both of these songs. They are gorgeous and really showcase their individual talents. It would make me really happy. It's been an awful week. Thank You !!!! 😊
My TXT babies they're an amazing and a such endearing group every individual member is so hardworking and dedicated to the group and they are so lovely and cute with each and every one of them even though they are absolutely stinkers and love to mess with each other I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GROUP they're in my top 5 groups (I used a lot of they're😶)
I have been a Kpop fan for over 13 years now so I absolutely mean it when i say it - TXT has some of the best albums Kpop has given us. Despite me not listening to a lot of 3rd gen music, for the past 3 years, they have been my no.1 most listened album every single year. You have to dive into their albums! Also, their concept and lore is just *chef's kiss*. It's so well thought and executed. Once you dive into it, it will blow your mind. TXT was one of the first groups to debut with no fixed position. Everyone is a main vocalist, dancer and rapper depending on which concept fits which member the best. They are so talented, it moves me honestly. Also they have such refreshing personalities. I LOVE the way HYBE trained them because they are one of the few groups who don't try to be confident, they know they're good! Also they are such relatable people, i can't. You're right, they are super goofy. A lot of fans force the 'crackhead' narrative on their idols to make them look funny but TXT fans often ask them to calm down. They're like Seventeen but more Gen Z lol. And yes, Choi Yeonjun is a PROBLEM. He has been titled the 4th Gen 'IT boy' for a reason.
Their MV's are connected, they have a storyline like almost all HYBE groups, it would have been better if you watch them in order of publication. But you do you, i hope you react to all of them (cause there's a lot of MV's and short films), the evolution of the band is in each comeback, is amazing.
ok, I just watched the video and it is now one of my favorite TXT reactions ever!! I hope you continue to react to them, and when you're ready for a guide I recommend the 2022 one by Beomie Bear!!! I am so excited to go on this journey with you!!
Their title tracks are always great, but I feel like they truly show their variety and sound in their B sides. I absolutely adore both them and their music, so I really hope you like them enough to dive deeper. No pressure of course, depending on your time and taste you should feel free to react to whoever you want.
TXT Live vocals is Insane ! Ballad? try Anti Romantic, TrustFund Baby, Nap of a Star , ITO, and more! R&B ? 20cm Live is amazing🔥 their discography is Top Tier and their Live performances are even better! Opening Sequence is their latest Bside that captured ALOT non moas and their discography is so diverse they have songs with different genres ... their music is just a Treasure Chest full of Gold and Diamonds
I’m just beginning to check TXT out, so I was happy you reacted to them. I haven’t seen any of their videos before, but saw them at Lollapalooza which they killed. I really liked these songs/MVs. I think the last two were my favorites. I see the creative Big Hit touch all over them. Bang PD can not only pick them well, he puts together the best team to support them. While I am liking them all, Beomgyu’s voice is pulling at me. I watched the first episode of their reality show and so far Beomgyu and Soobin are front runners for my bias. If it turns out like BTS, I will be TXT first and then with one or two bias’ and the rest bias wreckers. LOL When each member of a group is equally amazing and personable, you just have to love them all first.
Ahh I’m so excited you’re checking out txt!!! I hope you’ll continue your journey with them, they’re soooo good! Down the line, you should definitely react to a guide and some of their live performances, they’re amazing live❤️
I absolutely adore TXT. I'm old enough to have babysat most of them, but I can still connect with their music and love the messages they put out. Their whole thing is being a voice to their age group, so as they've grown up the music has been growing up with them. And yep, you're spot on with the assessment of super happy sound with deeper lyrics. They've had a lot of that, especially when they first debuted. You'll see when you get to a guide there's no fixed positions, everyone can do everything, but Yeonjun does most of the rapping. The scratchy rockish sound in 0x1 is Taehyun, and his voice is stunning. He trained a lot vocally to be able to pull off a more rock sounding vocal in their more recent albums, and I love how it sounds. Like BTS they have a whole universe, and it's very heavy on the magic. The story is basically these five boys struggling with the world, self acceptance, growing up etc., but through the idea of magic. They also have a Narnia vibe, with a magic island. The magic angle makes for some really lovely whimsical instrumentals and gorgeous imagery throughout their work. TXT have one of the best discographies out there I swear. There is a bit of everything, which makes it so hard to recommend tracks. Recommendations: Songs with some of my favourite vocals are Opening Sequence (heavy instrumental, gorgeous vocals), Maze in the Mirror (lovely softer vocals), 20cm (an earlier b side with an r&b sound), Way Home (another r&b vibe), Trust Fund Baby (an indie pop ballad apparently - I googled it because I had no clue), Anti-Romantic (owned tiktok for a period). Other favourites of various styles ... We Lost the Summer (COVID bop, poppy sort of tropical sound, depressing lyrics ofc), Puma (trap/hip hop maybe, I dunno, it's a bop), Frost (hyperpop / experimental / trap), Can't You See Me? (darker sound), Wishlist (super happy sounding poppy thing) ... I'm really trying not to just write out the entire discography. 😅
this appeared in my recommendations and i am glad i stayed because it was the first time in a long time that i saw someone who issued their opinions in such a genuine and respectful way. you have very nice vibes. i hope you can continue going deep into them and know a little more about their discography cause' it's fire. also the timing is perfect because their comeback is just around the corner so that should be moa call just saying.
oh, I'm so happy that you took the time to do this. the boys are so talented, they deserve attention from people like you, intelligent, nice, kind hearted people. as an army-moomoo-insomnia-moa-carat-once, I'm also happy 'cuase now I can say you have watched/heard, at least once, to every favourite group of mine.
Omg Austin I love txt 😭thank you sm for this reaction I hoped you would react to txt soon but I have a feeling you’ll love them bc your taste in music 💜😫
Their 20 cm performance is a MUST for vocals! Tysm for this reaction 🥲 I saw you tweeting random photos of them and didn't want to get my hopes up haha. Have a good day!
Way back then, during their debut, I interpreted Crown as a song about puberty. The growing horns is like a whole new weird and unusual for them that is growing. They didn't like it, they saw it as a pain, they felt like the world is making fun of them. But time came that they saw it as their crown. They saw the change in themselves-- the puberty stage, as a growth instead of a burden. PS. Choi Beomgyu's vocals YES!!
14:16 thats Yeonjun doing the deep voice in the back. his vocals are heavenly. since he has a higher voice he doesnt often go that deep. loved the reaction!! hope you do more from them.
Yaaaas TXT! I’m so glad you are looking into them. I’m a huge alternative rock/punk music fan and kind fell into TXT with Lovesong and LoserxLover. There are no positions, other than the leader, in this group. First of all: I am (and have been since the beginning) a Jin bias. I would say that if I would have to claim a bias in TXT, it would be Soobin. It’s just ironic, because it seems that is apparently a trend lol. Though I could definitely see you biasing Taehyun (because of his vocals/all roundness) Soobin has me in a hold each time I delve into them. There is just something really endearing about his personality and mannerisms, especially considering he is the leader, introverted and his group all seem endeared by him too lol. It’s a thing, I’ve seen a lot of male idols really fanboy over him too. I didn’t personally want to get into them until they had aged a little (got out of their teens). Just a personal preference as someone in their early 30’s, and also the coming of age concept is not something hugely relatable to me anymore. But when I went back to their beginning to follow the storyline/history, I really saw their talent and passion. I know they had it rough in the beginning with the constant comparison to BTS (but they love BTS and Seventeen and that makes me happy as an ARMYCARAT lol) Member on the horse is Taehyun. He has some serious vocals (and magic lol). I feel like I may get cut for saying it (and I’m not comparing them musically-just know I love Shinee/have been with them for a long time and I have recently been enjoying the journey of TXT) but his visuals really caught me off guard when I started looking into them. He looks like Jonghyun from Shinee to me, like seriously he could be a younger brother or cousin. Watching him cover some of Shinees songs did not help. I had to double take in the beginning. Their storyline is very much magical (and I’m nerdy af). It’s been interesting following it and actually wouldn’t take you very long if you really did want to do it- it’s ongoing and not too far into it IMO. Frost and Eternally give me such goosebumps. I rarely feel emotional with a song but Eternally just pulls at you and it’s on my permanent playlist. Frost is hella unique as well. It would be funny to see you have Cat & Dog/frost/eternally in a video. The whiplash would be humorous 🤣 (fyi-don’t listen to me, I’m just being funny) As always, great reaction.
You can call Hueningkai just Kai (his given name), Hyuka or NingNing Edited to add: Yeonjun is the one who had more rapping opportunities so far, but they're all trained and you can see that on their cover performances of more rap-heavy artists. But their music is more oriented to singing. They're also quite experimental on their music, and the more involved the members are on the songwriting and producing side the more it shows. They all would be dance and vocal line material on any other band, but they don't have official positions, save for Soobin as a leader. I would recommend the First Take performances for a great taste of their vocals (it's a Japanese series here on UA-cam)
This is crazy cause Txt is my ult group and I was watching some of your vids the other day and was like “Sir austin hasn’t reacted to Txt yet” and now here we are
Taehyun is my bias with the voice you noticed a couple times. I don’t think there was electronic distortion. He took lessons to be able to sing with the raspy growl sound. I enjoy watching them sing on the First Take channel. It’s them and 5 microphones. I recommend Force. Yes there is a text universe called something else now i keep forgetting like Dark Star. Most of the symbols you see repeatedly, but I don’t think it’s interpretable yet. Yes, the 5 pointed star is their crown. Taehyun loves Beomgyu. yes, you said their names correctly. I think you would enjoy Soobin’s personality, but Yeonjun is the one who acts sexy. Their albums are all no skip imo. Thursday’s child is the song after GBGB which essentially tells us this bad boy stage was a heartbreak that lasts Thursday and Friday, but Saturday he can go out and meet someone new and everything back to normal by Monday. I love them all so much. Taehyun has long term career plans. I think he wants to be like Taemin at loveable superstar level
As a pre-debut moa (& soobin biased) I've been feeling really proud of txt lately, they've archived a lot, they go viral often and they leave a strong impact on people wherever they go.
I dont see a lot requests for Can't You See Me, but you should check it out. Run Away was such an ear worm it made me curious but Can't You See Me was the track that hooked me. Ghosting is a b-side thats great too, its a totally different sound, maybe 2000s feel, but it stays on my driving playlist.
My top 2 Kpop groups are BTS & TXT especially after watching TXT in concert. I realized after watching them in concert why these guys were chosen to follow BTS since they're basically the younger brothers (label mates) of BTS! Big Hit found 2 amazing groups - the performance level is so high!!!
I love how you pointed out Beomgyu’s facial expressions. He’s known to be really good at it when he dances. When it comes to performance, he never misses!
Can't You See Me? by them is incredible, both MV and music ! This song is one of my favourite KPOP songs. Puma, from the same album as CYSM? is also really interesting. It's a bit of an anomaly in their discography and I say that in a good way. But, they are very versatile so that's not really surprising. Their last albums are really great too. Recommending is hard, they set the bar really high everytime.
You really can't go wrong with any TXT songs or MVs... a couple of things you might not find right away.... Soobin and Arin - Dolphin and Taehyun - Lee Mujin Service
Omg!!! My favorite boy group! So excited for you to check them and their music out :) they have great variety content as well! Also, they don't have set positions except for Soobin who is the leader. I would definitely check out a guide, and if you ever want to watch some variety content they have a show called TO DO. Super funny and entertaining!
txt doesn't have official positions except the leader, soobin. there are only few rap parts in txt's discography and 90% of the time yeonjun does it. i'm sure moas have already commented their suggestions but for me, after you've heard quite a few of their songs i recommend watching their lollapalooza performance! their live vocals are so good thank you for reacting to txt! :D
"Maybe throw that in the fire. That looks kinda creepy." LMAO !!! That made me laugh so hard. I was thinking it but you said it. It just struck me funny. LOL
Thank you so so much for giving TXT's music a chance. One thing you should know when going through their songs is that they change genres from time to time. They offer a lot of flavor to choose from haha. They depict stories of growing up through their music. Crown is about having a "pain" or something you might think is a personal flaw that people shame them with, meeting another person going through the same thing and despite being "flawed", they grow to love and accept who they are because they met someone who saved and completed them. Much like meeting friends that you can relate to and can make you not feel alone anymore in dealing with things such as growing up. For Title tracks (which I recommend you watch these first) is Loser = Lover and Cant you see me. I think going through Music Videos or just their songs in general would be better since the guides would have snippets of their songs and you might get spoiled XD For live performance and a bit more slow, I'd like to suggest Opening Sequence, Trust fund baby, Maze in the Mirror(Produced by BEOMGYU) and 20cm. Hitori no Yoru doesn't have a live performance and is one of their japanese songs but it's such a vocal treat! They do have bits of lore here and there thrown randomly on Music Videos but they do have lore videos as well which are Nap of a Star, Magic Island, Eternally and Frost. I suggest listening to the audios of these first so you can judge the music and lyrics first? Because the music video has soooooooooooo much lore it can get a bit confusing XD Listening to Eternally's audio/lyrics first is recommended before the music video. And drops of recommendations: Dear Sputnik(Produced by HUENING KAI or HYUKA for short), Thursday's child has far to go (Produced by BEOMGYU again and is a unit song), Puma, Lonely Boy(is a unit song), and No Rules. These are my recommendations for now ;) I think your bias is Soobin but might get wrecked by Yeonjun XD The guy with the raspy singing is Taehyun. He did practice that technique on purpose. They do not have a set of position except leader which is Soobin. Yeonjun does raps for now but TXT has been trained with hiphop. They all can rap too. It's just a matter of time. I'm actually more inclined to bands but I came to kpop only because of TXT. I've known groups since 2nd gen but TXT for some reason really is the group that resonated with me and raised my desires to "stan" so I do hope you continue your journey and I hope you have fun
Tomorrow X Together are all about the concept, each chapter defines what that concept is about. Bang PD of Big Hit had a vision for this group and it is fortunate that the members are so talented that they are able to realize that vision from the get-go. They contribute musically/lyrically and as producers, much more now than from their very early years. The arc of their growth is just crazy, they were literally kids when trainees, their debut was never guaranteed. Now, TXT are considered the crème de la crème of the fourth generation, they are making headway into western media, they just did the AMA red carpet last week before killing it last night at the 2022 MMA Awards, picking up Best Male Performance. It's rumored they will be on the Dick Cavett NYE Live Show (pre-recorded section @ Disneyland). They have a comeback in January 2023; this is a good time to catch up on TXT.
You gonna include also the dance practice of these songs especially the "Crown" ...you will be amazed with their choreography.... For me one of the most beautiful dance practice I've watch😍😍😍😍 You start TXT you'll love them... Next will be their junior Enhypen... 😍😍😍😍
Yay! TXT vocals are so good and one of best harmonies in kpop! My favorite is 20cm, but their other songs are definitely bops! Their storyline is so interesting and full of fantasy...love it!
They are having a comeback in January (no specific date yet), so you are just in time! The only title tracks you are missing are Can’t you see me and Lo$er = Lover, but also their b sides are fantastic. The b side MVs that correspond with the album title (Nap of a star, Magic island, Eternally and Frost) and all Japanese MVs are 100% storyline and especially the first three ones I mentioned are very cinematic and basically works of art.
The growth in TXT discography is so insane! The diversity is so good and the sound is getting bigger and bigger! Throughout all of these song you can hear a story, and this is what they are trying to convey, txt is basically a story for youth :)
i get so incredibly giddy whenever someone compliments taehyun, following them since pre-debut I've always been pulled towards him and to see people acknowledging his work is so lovely
tbh one of the main reasons TXT means so much to me and why they're so high up on my favorites list is because of their lyrics. great reaction btw! thanks for giving our boys a chance ☺
I must say, as time goes by, TXT's music just getting better and better (to my taste) until i just didnt have a choice but to stan them. Its like they started as a "cute" group with cute pink sugar style and then are finding their own music style which is more "badass" (its actually like in "good boy gone bad" they are singing about them finiding their musical style - not saying thats the case, but thats totally the music path they are going through) . To my taste, every song since "i know i love you" is just getting better than those before, like everytime i think "omggg thats their best, i've got a new fav song of txt!!!" Than they come with a new bope and i just cant believe how they keep "inventing" thmeselves even vetter than the last time. find myself really wait for their next comeback each time cause since they "grow up" they just dont stop to surprise me and imprrese me. They also got some really good b-side tracks, one of my fav is "New Rules" (i believe it has some dance video too). Also Kai's voice is one of my top 10 fav voices in all kpop groups (im a multi-stan), he got some really unique beautiful voice.
For a live vocals please look up the live stages from Heeyeol's Sketchbook for 0X1=Lovesong and Young Blood, Taehyun on Lee Mujin Service, their In My Blood cover on All The KPop, 20cm performance on KBS World TV, or their full performance from Lollapalooza 2022 Others: Definitely Frost performance version, their Story line videos which are Nap of a Star, Magic Island, Eternally (listen to the song first), Frost, concept trailer for Name Chapter. Plus the other concept trailers 😁 Thank you for reacting to them!!!
Omg I’m so excited for this reaction 😂 I’m an Exo-L MOA so I hope you join the club 😅 Also TXT is the master of happy songs with somber or down right depressing lyrics
My favorite thing about TXT is that I can always expect different styles and concepts from them, I never get bored of any of their content, and also they have a closeness to the fandom that I really like, they're really fun and it's like interacting with a distant friend to me in some way (not parasocial khfasjf😅)
I recommend watching the one takes they did. It's them singing live and shot in one take. You will be able to hear their voices very clearly. Great reaction!!
I still firmly believe CROWN is one amazing debut song. Talking about growing pains, and it perfectly fits their age! The music video itself had a lot of easter eggs for their storyline, focused on their fun choreography and many visual shots. Which is great since for a debut song and music video, they need to make sure they introduce the members in a way.
I read Crown as being about a boy with horns that feels different until he meets a person with wings. Like, there's the line "are your wings the same pain as mine?". And through loving them they learn to love the thing that makes them unique. So because of that person they now view their horns as a crown on their head. That's just my take. I just got into TXT fairly recently but I've always loved some of their songs and if I'm honest, Crown might be my favorite kpop song, it's at least in the top 2 or 3
You're spot on with the Crown theory! Their whole universe is a lot, but that's basically the idea of the debut. 💙
Crown is so good
There's also a theory among us Gays™ that it might be about a boy finding another boy who's been through the same path of discovering their sexualities and who they are. The "horns" and "wings" represent them being fallen angels because it has some religious connotations. It's just a theory though and it has nothing to do with the members, so please don't throw hate towards me 🤗❤️
@@adrianrm07 I love that. Tbh I only follow the "correct" storyline enough to know the main ideas, I love finding my own meaning too. If they didn't want us to find our own meanings and importance in the music they would spoon feed us the entire plot. At least that's what I'm telling myself 😅

i laughed out loud when you said soobin might be your bias. before txt debuted, a lot of jin stans were drawn to soobin for some reason without knowing anything about him. then during txt's debut show, part of soobin's info/tmi was that "inside soobin's heart: jin sunbaenim". he's a huge jin fan and they've had so many cute interactions since then. i hope you continue reacting to txt, their discographies is one of my favourites and the boys are all great :)
My husband Seokjin fanboy 😭
Omg that one clip of jin touching his shoulder and him getting so shy and excited is so cute
@@SirAustin HAHA that is some synchronicity Austin, lol.
i have not heard this, lol. Love it.
I am Jin and Soobin biased!
2:52, all of their music is like that lol, the beat is so happy and funky and then you read the lyrics and its deeper than you expected haha
TXT’s concept I would say could be summarised as ‘story-telling.’
Their entire discography is broken into chapters with each one telling its own story. The first series of chapters [The Dream Chapters] tells the story of the boys transitioning from boyhood to adolescence, with each album representing 3 stages of this transition.
- The Dream Chapter: Star [debut mini album / title track: Crown / 5 tracks / March 4th 2019] - tells the story of the boys feeling anxious about changes in their minds and bodies but finding friends who feel a similar anxiety, eventually coming together under one dream to build a new tomorrow. So while Crown (and Run Away etc. can definitely be read as songs about a crush/significant other, within the context of their wider story it becomes about each other).
- The Dream Chapter: Magic [first studio album / title track: Run Away / 8 tracks / 21st October 2019] - their first studio album continues this story of youth by narrating the magical moments the boys spend together as they experience new things and feel as if they are on top of the world.
- The Dream Chapter: Eternity [mini album / title track: Can’t You See Me? / 6 tracks / 18 May 2020] - the final album in this series sees the boys wake up from their dreams and face the weight of the reality of the world; the boys feel lost and incomplete but continue to stick together.
The following chapter [the Chaos Chapters] continues the narrative from where the dream chapter left off.
- The Chaos Chapter: Freeze [studio album / title track: 0x1=lovesong / 8 tracks / 31 May 2021] - The reality which the boys realized in their ‘eternity’ album has only become harsher, as the dreamlike life the boys once lived is gone, leaving them feeling empty and frozen. This is until the boys meet ‘you’ who is able to awaken the love inside them.
- The Chaos Chapter: Fight or Escape [repackaged album / title track: LO$ER=LOVER / 11 tracks / 17 August 2021] - This album is a repackage of the ‘Freeze’ album, so it includes the 8 previously released songs from freeze, in addition to 3 new tracks.
The other day in their MMA performance they revealed the title of their next set of chapters will be ‘The Name Chapters.’
In between each ‘main’ series of chapters ‘minisodes’ are released which act as an interlude/transition between chapters.
- Minisode 1: Blue Hour [mini album / title track: Blue Hour / 5 tracks / 26 October 2020] - this minisode followed the conclusion of the dream chapter and tells the story of how the boy’s face the unique and unprecedented challenges of the Covid pandemic.
- Minisode 2: Thursday’s Child [mini album / title track: Good Boy Gone Bad / 5 tracks / 9 May 2022] - following the chaos chapter, minisode 2 narrates the experience of a first breakup by each song speaking to a respective stage of grief.
OMG Yes Austin! TXT is amazing!!! Beautiful and talented!!
Taehyun actually did the growl part in lovesong, he is so talented and really did justice with his rock sound
I think you should really watch their live Lollapalooza performance, you will love it
YES PLS
TXT don't have fixed positions other than soobin being the leader! They all obviously have certain strengths, but all in all they're capable of every position 👍
It's one of my favorite things about them - they each get to focus on doing what they do well without worrying about who is officially what.
They're all ridiculously good at everything 🤣
I know some people tend to put it like
Soobin: Leader
Yeonjun: Main Dancer
Beomygu: Mood Maker
Taehyun: Lead Vocal
Kai: Visual
But those aren't official and any of them could swap if needed
I truly believe Run Away is one of the greatest kpop songs of all time. 50 years from now it's going to be a classic. The TXT song that's played on every classic station in Korea. I love a lot of their songs and even have some I like more than Run Away but it's kind of like their Fake Love. It's just a perfect song and captures their essence so well. It's a song that could never be anyone else's.
10:38 “ that’s the Huening Kai dude, right?” 😂 yes it is him. And I agree, he has a very recognizable faceL!
21:05 yes, the one with pink hair is the one you are talking about. His name isn’t “Yaojun” though, it’s YEONJUN( pronounced yon-joon). And yes the one in blue hair is Soobin!
22:19 That’s Taehyun. His vocals are on the next level!
25:09 that’s Beomgyu. He has a very deep voice, which wasn’t as obvious with the vocal effects going on. And yes he was the one with the deeper voice in the previous song. Both him and Soobin have pretty deep voices!
Now that I finished the video I will recommend slower songs, they are b-sides: Nap of a Star, 20 cm, Maze in the Mirror, Ghosting, Trust Fund Baby, Opening Sequence, Lonely Boy.
Their Japanese songs are so beautiful so if you want to check some out: Ito, Ring, Hitori No Yoru and Everlasting Shine are my favorites.
I think for title-tracks you just missed Can't you see me and Loser=Lover, and they are both really good!
Also Cat and Dog. I know it isn’t a title track but I want to see his reaction to the music video so bad 💀
@@Wonysoriginalvisual NAEGA BYANHE
wait, Opening Sequence as a slower song? lmao ☠️
@@0ayeri1 bc i'm not talking about ballads, and i don't think it's a fast song either, it's in the middle, so i put it there
@@Lele8851 oh, makes sense now,it's just bc I remembered the last chorus, which sound more "aggressive" ykwim?
TXT is actually my second favorite group after BTS. I'm so happy you are checking them out. All their songs are complete bops. They also have their own story line if you want to check it out in the future.
TXT the it boys. They are the choreography kings of the 4th gen, their performance skills are also spectacular. Of course on debut people automatically had huge expectations for them as they were the first new group from Big Hit since BTS and I will say they didn't disappoint. For how tall they are their choreography is amazing, and their B-sides are some of the best in the business. Definitely worth a deeper dive.
You’re gonna love the interactions they have with BTS. It’s just too precious for this world, I can’t 🥺🥺🥺
My favorite TXT song is Can't You See Me! Yeah they got some bops for sure... I remember first getting into TXT I knew after the first song that Taehyun was my bias and he has been ever since my wrecker however changes every comeback lol
same for cant you see me and same for taehyun being a bias. Always nice to see other people love Can't You See Me as much as I do because I keep hearing it's their least popular? like what?
@@midnightxgem6147 I know right I think its one of their best songs! And yes Taehyun I love him so much!
And yes, Beomgyu is the one with the deeper voice! His tone is light and breathy 👍 Taehyuns voice has also recently been really raspy, and the live performances of love song do really well showcasing it! (Note that all performances from their comeback showcase stagrs are the best ones, video quality wise)
If you want something slower where they show off their vocals, i highly recomend theese: 20cm, drama, anti-romantic and loser lover (not slow, but has some really good vocals). Also not me posting 100 comments 😭, im sorry
The only one I'd heard before this was loser lover and I was looking forward to Austin hearing it! I second that one 😁
Also idk if someone else commented this but RM wrote lyrics for lovesong. As a Moarmy, I was so excited when I found out about it
I've never clicked so fast in my life, I am genuinely SO excited that you are reacting to this group!!
I’m sure others have recommended it but if you want to get to know them I highly suggest ‘a helpful guide to txt (2022)’ by Beomie Bear !! They’re honestly one of the most entertaining and lovable groups/people out there. Never a dull moment with txt!!
TXT are giants 😂
And the blonde guy in the Blue Hour MV is Taehyun 💜
I don’t know if someone said it to you but Namjoon took part in the conception of 0x1=lovesong
And my fav songs of them are :
- nap of the star
- frost
-opening scene (honestly the 5 songs of the album)
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE!!!!!! pls keep your TXT reactions, they are completely worth it, like their music (OMG THEIR B-SIDES???), their talent, their visuals, their personalities, everything related to TXT is amazing
OMGGGGGGG TXT!!!!! They are AWESOME!!!!!! I am really looking forward to your reaction!! ❤️❤️❤️ I saw them in person 2 weeks ago, and sir… let me tell you… THEY ARE SO FREAKING BEAUTIFUL 😭✨
I really enjoyed watching this
Yes to all of these!
I have one more TXT ballad to request. Their song, "Opening Sequence" on the MNET comeback Show. The Choreo is beautiful too. Please do both of these songs. They are gorgeous and really showcase their individual talents. It would make me really happy. It's been an awful week. Thank You !!!! 😊
I'm generally not into ballads... but Opening Sequence is AMAZING! I highly recommend it too!
@@Nelle606 Thank You !!! ☺
My TXT babies they're an amazing and a such endearing group every individual member is so hardworking and dedicated to the group and they are so lovely and cute with each and every one of them even though they are absolutely stinkers and love to mess with each other I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GROUP they're in my top 5 groups (I used a lot of they're😶)
someone finally appreciating beomgyu’s voice. 😢❤
I have been a Kpop fan for over 13 years now so I absolutely mean it when i say it - TXT has some of the best albums Kpop has given us. Despite me not listening to a lot of 3rd gen music, for the past 3 years, they have been my no.1 most listened album every single year. You have to dive into their albums!
Also, their concept and lore is just *chef's kiss*. It's so well thought and executed. Once you dive into it, it will blow your mind. TXT was one of the first groups to debut with no fixed position. Everyone is a main vocalist, dancer and rapper depending on which concept fits which member the best. They are so talented, it moves me honestly. Also they have such refreshing personalities. I LOVE the way HYBE trained them because they are one of the few groups who don't try to be confident, they know they're good! Also they are such relatable people, i can't. You're right, they are super goofy. A lot of fans force the 'crackhead' narrative on their idols to make them look funny but TXT fans often ask them to calm down. They're like Seventeen but more Gen Z lol.
And yes, Choi Yeonjun is a PROBLEM. He has been titled the 4th Gen 'IT boy' for a reason.
Welcome to TXT and their fun upbeat bops... until you read the lyrics 🤣
Their MV's are connected, they have a storyline like almost all HYBE groups, it would have been better if you watch them in order of publication. But you do you, i hope you react to all of them (cause there's a lot of MV's and short films), the evolution of the band is in each comeback, is amazing.
omgomg my ult bg their discography is top tier truly!!
ok, I just watched the video and it is now one of my favorite TXT reactions ever!! I hope you continue to react to them, and when you're ready for a guide I recommend the 2022 one by Beomie Bear!!! I am so excited to go on this journey with you!!
Their title tracks are always great, but I feel like they truly show their variety and sound in their B sides. I absolutely adore both them and their music, so I really hope you like them enough to dive deeper. No pressure of course, depending on your time and taste you should feel free to react to whoever you want.
TXT Live vocals is Insane ! Ballad? try Anti Romantic, TrustFund Baby, Nap of a Star , ITO, and more! R&B ? 20cm Live is amazing🔥 their discography is Top Tier and their Live performances are even better! Opening Sequence is their latest Bside that captured ALOT non moas and their discography is so diverse they have songs with different genres ... their music is just a Treasure Chest full of Gold and Diamonds
The Deep raspy vocals is BEOMGYU andbim so happy finally someone recognise his deep voice😍
I’m just beginning to check TXT out, so I was happy you reacted to them. I haven’t seen any of their videos before, but saw them at Lollapalooza which they killed. I really liked these songs/MVs. I think the last two were my favorites. I see the creative Big Hit touch all over them. Bang PD can not only pick them well, he puts together the best team to support them. While I am liking them all, Beomgyu’s voice is pulling at me. I watched the first episode of their reality show and so far Beomgyu and Soobin are front runners for my bias. If it turns out like BTS, I will be TXT first and then with one or two bias’ and the rest bias wreckers. LOL When each member of a group is equally amazing and personable, you just have to love them all first.
Enjoy the ride, their discography is amazing 😍
Ahh I’m so excited you’re checking out txt!!! I hope you’ll continue your journey with them, they’re soooo good! Down the line, you should definitely react to a guide and some of their live performances, they’re amazing live❤️
I absolutely adore TXT. I'm old enough to have babysat most of them, but I can still connect with their music and love the messages they put out. Their whole thing is being a voice to their age group, so as they've grown up the music has been growing up with them. And yep, you're spot on with the assessment of super happy sound with deeper lyrics. They've had a lot of that, especially when they first debuted.
You'll see when you get to a guide there's no fixed positions, everyone can do everything, but Yeonjun does most of the rapping.
The scratchy rockish sound in 0x1 is Taehyun, and his voice is stunning. He trained a lot vocally to be able to pull off a more rock sounding vocal in their more recent albums, and I love how it sounds.
Like BTS they have a whole universe, and it's very heavy on the magic. The story is basically these five boys struggling with the world, self acceptance, growing up etc., but through the idea of magic. They also have a Narnia vibe, with a magic island. The magic angle makes for some really lovely whimsical instrumentals and gorgeous imagery throughout their work.
TXT have one of the best discographies out there I swear. There is a bit of everything, which makes it so hard to recommend tracks.
Recommendations:
Songs with some of my favourite vocals are Opening Sequence (heavy instrumental, gorgeous vocals), Maze in the Mirror (lovely softer vocals), 20cm (an earlier b side with an r&b sound), Way Home (another r&b vibe), Trust Fund Baby (an indie pop ballad apparently - I googled it because I had no clue), Anti-Romantic (owned tiktok for a period).
Other favourites of various styles ... We Lost the Summer (COVID bop, poppy sort of tropical sound, depressing lyrics ofc), Puma (trap/hip hop maybe, I dunno, it's a bop), Frost (hyperpop / experimental / trap), Can't You See Me? (darker sound), Wishlist (super happy sounding poppy thing) ... I'm really trying not to just write out the entire discography. 😅
They're all younger than my oldest child 🤣
@@evantesseract737 I did some quick maths and I am juuuuust barely old enough to have teen mum-ed Kai. 😅😂
@@poppyfortea I have a few years on you 🤣
My txt babies 💜💜 as an army with high standards 🤣, txt completely stole my heart!! They have flawless discography!
So glad you checked them out 😍
glad you reacted to themmm.. txt is so loveable so pls check more of them
OMGGG finallyyyyy! I'm so happy, my favorite group, they are amazing, thank you for reacting
this appeared in my recommendations and i am glad i stayed because it was the first time in a long time that i saw someone who issued their opinions in such a genuine and respectful way. you have very nice vibes. i hope you can continue going deep into them and know a little more about their discography cause' it's fire. also the timing is perfect because their comeback is just around the corner so that should be moa call just saying.
Let’s goooo! Also, I can’t wait to see your reaction for Frost-performance version 😝
FACIAL expressions is all I’ll say.
oh, I'm so happy that you took the time to do this. the boys are so talented, they deserve attention from people like you, intelligent, nice, kind hearted people.
as an army-moomoo-insomnia-moa-carat-once, I'm also happy 'cuase now I can say you have watched/heard, at least once, to every favourite group of mine.
Omg Austin I love txt 😭thank you sm for this reaction I hoped you would react to txt soon but I have a feeling you’ll love them bc your taste in music 💜😫
Txt have my fav discography in Kpop
Their 20 cm performance is a MUST for vocals! Tysm for this reaction 🥲 I saw you tweeting random photos of them and didn't want to get my hopes up haha. Have a good day!
Way back then, during their debut, I interpreted Crown as a song about puberty. The growing horns is like a whole new weird and unusual for them that is growing. They didn't like it, they saw it as a pain, they felt like the world is making fun of them. But time came that they saw it as their crown. They saw the change in themselves-- the puberty stage, as a growth instead of a burden.
PS. Choi Beomgyu's vocals YES!!
They were so cute when they debuted 💜💜💜
14:16 thats Yeonjun doing the deep voice in the back. his vocals are heavenly. since he has a higher voice he doesnt often go that deep. loved the reaction!! hope you do more from them.
Yaaaas TXT! I’m so glad you are looking into them. I’m a huge alternative rock/punk music fan and kind fell into TXT with Lovesong and LoserxLover. There are no positions, other than the leader, in this group.
First of all: I am (and have been since the beginning) a Jin bias. I would say that if I would have to claim a bias in TXT, it would be Soobin. It’s just ironic, because it seems that is apparently a trend lol. Though I could definitely see you biasing Taehyun (because of his vocals/all roundness)
Soobin has me in a hold each time I delve into them. There is just something really endearing about his personality and mannerisms, especially considering he is the leader, introverted and his group all seem endeared by him too lol. It’s a thing, I’ve seen a lot of male idols really fanboy over him too.
I didn’t personally want to get into them until they had aged a little (got out of their teens). Just a personal preference as someone in their early 30’s, and also the coming of age concept is not something hugely relatable to me anymore. But when I went back to their beginning to follow the storyline/history, I really saw their talent and passion. I know they had it rough in the beginning with the constant comparison to BTS (but they love BTS and Seventeen and that makes me happy as an ARMYCARAT lol)
Member on the horse is Taehyun. He has some serious vocals (and magic lol). I feel like I may get cut for saying it (and I’m not comparing them musically-just know I love Shinee/have been with them for a long time and I have recently been enjoying the journey of TXT) but his visuals really caught me off guard when I started looking into them. He looks like Jonghyun from Shinee to me, like seriously he could be a younger brother or cousin. Watching him cover some of Shinees songs did not help. I had to double take in the beginning.
Their storyline is very much magical (and I’m nerdy af). It’s been interesting following it and actually wouldn’t take you very long if you really did want to do it- it’s ongoing and not too far into it IMO.
Frost and Eternally give me such goosebumps. I rarely feel emotional with a song but Eternally just pulls at you and it’s on my permanent playlist. Frost is hella unique as well.
It would be funny to see you have Cat & Dog/frost/eternally in a video. The whiplash would be humorous 🤣 (fyi-don’t listen to me, I’m just being funny)
As always, great reaction.
You can call Hueningkai just Kai (his given name), Hyuka or NingNing
Edited to add:
Yeonjun is the one who had more rapping opportunities so far, but they're all trained and you can see that on their cover performances of more rap-heavy artists. But their music is more oriented to singing. They're also quite experimental on their music, and the more involved the members are on the songwriting and producing side the more it shows.
They all would be dance and vocal line material on any other band, but they don't have official positions, save for Soobin as a leader.
I would recommend the First Take performances for a great taste of their vocals (it's a Japanese series here on UA-cam)
This is crazy cause Txt is my ult group and I was watching some of your vids the other day and was like “Sir austin hasn’t reacted to Txt yet” and now here we are
42:15 wait until you see his personality 💀🤣. He’s so so extra but just as sweet!
Taehyun is my bias with the voice you noticed a couple times. I don’t think there was electronic distortion. He took lessons to be able to sing with the raspy growl sound. I enjoy watching them sing on the First Take channel. It’s them and 5 microphones. I recommend Force. Yes there is a text universe called something else now i keep forgetting like Dark Star. Most of the symbols you see repeatedly, but I don’t think it’s interpretable yet. Yes, the 5 pointed star is their crown.
Taehyun loves Beomgyu. yes, you said their names correctly. I think you would enjoy Soobin’s personality, but Yeonjun is the one who acts sexy. Their albums are all no skip imo. Thursday’s child is the song after GBGB which essentially tells us this bad boy stage was a heartbreak that lasts Thursday and Friday, but Saturday he can go out and meet someone new and everything back to normal by Monday.
I love them all so much. Taehyun has long term career plans. I think he wants to be like Taemin at loveable superstar level
I don’t even stan txt but they have to be the funniest group in kpop no exaggeration they are hilarious.
We all thought we weren’t ready for txt’s storyline, but it’s so addictive now… we can’t stop loving it and then ❤
Taehyung has the vocal fry but Kai and Beomgyu also pull it off quite well.
As a pre-debut moa (& soobin biased) I've been feeling really proud of txt lately, they've archived a lot, they go viral often and they leave a strong impact on people wherever they go.
MY BABIES 😭 I'm so excited to watch! TXT never disappoint ☺️
I dont see a lot requests for Can't You See Me, but you should check it out. Run Away was such an ear worm it made me curious but Can't You See Me was the track that hooked me. Ghosting is a b-side thats great too, its a totally different sound, maybe 2000s feel, but it stays on my driving playlist.
When I tell you that I couldn't even fathom Yeonjun's pocket cutouts in Blue Hour... The dark cowboy look is so iconic.
Run Away is such a legendary first comeback....
My top 2 Kpop groups are BTS & TXT especially after watching TXT in concert. I realized after watching them in concert why these guys were chosen to follow BTS since they're basically the younger brothers (label mates) of BTS! Big Hit found 2 amazing groups - the performance level is so high!!!
I love how you pointed out Beomgyu’s facial expressions. He’s known to be really good at it when he dances. When it comes to performance, he never misses!
Can't You See Me? by them is incredible, both MV and music ! This song is one of my favourite KPOP songs.
Puma, from the same album as CYSM? is also really interesting. It's a bit of an anomaly in their discography and I say that in a good way. But, they are very versatile so that's not really surprising.
Their last albums are really great too. Recommending is hard, they set the bar really high everytime.
You really can't go wrong with any TXT songs or MVs... a couple of things you might not find right away.... Soobin and Arin - Dolphin and Taehyun - Lee Mujin Service
Omg!!! My favorite boy group! So excited for you to check them and their music out :) they have great variety content as well! Also, they don't have set positions except for Soobin who is the leader. I would definitely check out a guide, and if you ever want to watch some variety content they have a show called TO DO. Super funny and entertaining!
i literally choked on my saliva when i saw this on my recoms 😅 what a pleasant surprise
txt doesn't have official positions except the leader, soobin. there are only few rap parts in txt's discography and 90% of the time yeonjun does it. i'm sure moas have already commented their suggestions but for me, after you've heard quite a few of their songs i recommend watching their lollapalooza performance! their live vocals are so good
thank you for reacting to txt! :D
A really good song vocally, is Trust fund baby. It is such a pretty song
Yes Beomgyu is the one whos singing adlibs, he got a deeper voice like V actually.
Hes name is Choi Beomgyu
"Maybe throw that in the fire. That looks kinda creepy." LMAO !!! That made me laugh so hard. I was thinking it but you said it. It just struck me funny. LOL
Thank you so so much for giving TXT's music a chance. One thing you should know when going through their songs is that they change genres from time to time. They offer a lot of flavor to choose from haha. They depict stories of growing up through their music. Crown is about having a "pain" or something you might think is a personal flaw that people shame them with, meeting another person going through the same thing and despite being "flawed", they grow to love and accept who they are because they met someone who saved and completed them. Much like meeting friends that you can relate to and can make you not feel alone anymore in dealing with things such as growing up.
For Title tracks (which I recommend you watch these first) is Loser = Lover and Cant you see me. I think going through Music Videos or just their songs in general would be better since the guides would have snippets of their songs and you might get spoiled XD
For live performance and a bit more slow, I'd like to suggest Opening Sequence, Trust fund baby, Maze in the Mirror(Produced by BEOMGYU) and 20cm. Hitori no Yoru doesn't have a live performance and is one of their japanese songs but it's such a vocal treat!
They do have bits of lore here and there thrown randomly on Music Videos but they do have lore videos as well which are Nap of a Star, Magic Island, Eternally and Frost. I suggest listening to the audios of these first so you can judge the music and lyrics first? Because the music video has soooooooooooo much lore it can get a bit confusing XD Listening to Eternally's audio/lyrics first is recommended before the music video.
And drops of recommendations: Dear Sputnik(Produced by HUENING KAI or HYUKA for short), Thursday's child has far to go (Produced by BEOMGYU again and is a unit song), Puma, Lonely Boy(is a unit song), and No Rules.
These are my recommendations for now ;) I think your bias is Soobin but might get wrecked by Yeonjun XD The guy with the raspy singing is Taehyun. He did practice that technique on purpose. They do not have a set of position except leader which is Soobin. Yeonjun does raps for now but TXT has been trained with hiphop. They all can rap too. It's just a matter of time.
I'm actually more inclined to bands but I came to kpop only because of TXT. I've known groups since 2nd gen but TXT for some reason really is the group that resonated with me and raised my desires to "stan" so I do hope you continue your journey and I hope you have fun
Yeonjun's so extra and we love him for it 😂😂 My fav TXT title track is Can't You See Me.
i love txt thanks for reacting them bestie
Tomorrow X Together are all about the concept, each chapter defines what that concept is about. Bang PD of Big Hit had a vision for this group and it is fortunate that the members are so talented that they are able to realize that vision from the get-go. They contribute musically/lyrically and as producers, much more now than from their very early years. The arc of their growth is just crazy, they were literally kids when trainees, their debut was never guaranteed. Now, TXT are considered the crème de la crème of the fourth generation, they are making headway into western media, they just did the AMA red carpet last week before killing it last night at the 2022 MMA Awards, picking up Best Male Performance. It's rumored they will be on the Dick Cavett NYE Live Show (pre-recorded section @ Disneyland). They have a comeback in January 2023; this is a good time to catch up on TXT.
You gonna include also the dance practice of these songs especially the "Crown" ...you will be amazed with their choreography.... For me one of the most beautiful dance practice I've watch😍😍😍😍
You start TXT you'll love them... Next will be their junior Enhypen... 😍😍😍😍
Yay! TXT vocals are so good and one of best harmonies in kpop! My favorite is 20cm, but their other songs are definitely bops! Their storyline is so interesting and full of fantasy...love it!
Oh yesss sir now we want more of TXT 😂💜 I think you're gonna love : Loser Lover, No rules, can't you see me, Fairy of shampoo... I'm really hype now 💀
They has a lot of sad bops and I really love it
Beomgyu and his beautiful deep breathy voice!! so pretty!!
They are having a comeback in January (no specific date yet), so you are just in time! The only title tracks you are missing are Can’t you see me and Lo$er = Lover, but also their b sides are fantastic. The b side MVs that correspond with the album title (Nap of a star, Magic island, Eternally and Frost) and all Japanese MVs are 100% storyline and especially the first three ones I mentioned are very cinematic and basically works of art.
Glad you react to TXT
My fav 4th gen boy group, of course. They're just so good and unique 💕
The growth in TXT discography is so insane! The diversity is so good and the sound is getting bigger and bigger! Throughout all of these song you can hear a story, and this is what they are trying to convey, txt is basically a story for youth :)
Run away is very emotional song , that touches heart . It is a song that makes me feel what I really feel.
i get so incredibly giddy whenever someone compliments taehyun, following them since pre-debut I've always been pulled towards him and to see people acknowledging his work is so lovely
tbh one of the main reasons TXT means so much to me and why they're so high up on my favorites list is because of their lyrics. great reaction btw! thanks for giving our boys a chance ☺
My next favourite boy group! 💜
Thank you for checking them out!
I must say, as time goes by, TXT's music just getting better and better (to my taste) until i just didnt have a choice but to stan them. Its like they started as a "cute" group with cute pink sugar style and then are finding their own music style which is more "badass" (its actually like in "good boy gone bad" they are singing about them finiding their musical style - not saying thats the case, but thats totally the music path they are going through) . To my taste, every song since "i know i love you" is just getting better than those before, like everytime i think "omggg thats their best, i've got a new fav song of txt!!!" Than they come with a new bope and i just cant believe how they keep "inventing" thmeselves even vetter than the last time. find myself really wait for their next comeback each time cause since they "grow up" they just dont stop to surprise me and imprrese me. They also got some really good b-side tracks, one of my fav is "New Rules" (i believe it has some dance video too). Also Kai's voice is one of my top 10 fav voices in all kpop groups (im a multi-stan), he got some really unique beautiful voice.
For a live vocals please look up the live stages from Heeyeol's Sketchbook for 0X1=Lovesong and Young Blood, Taehyun on Lee Mujin Service, their In My Blood cover on All The KPop, 20cm performance on KBS World TV, or their full performance from Lollapalooza 2022
Others:
Definitely Frost performance version, their Story line videos which are Nap of a Star, Magic Island, Eternally (listen to the song first), Frost, concept trailer for Name Chapter. Plus the other concept trailers 😁
Thank you for reacting to them!!!
You will LOVE Frost!!! I’ve literally never been so excited to watch someone react to Frost until now 🤩
Omg I’m so excited for this reaction 😂 I’m an Exo-L MOA so I hope you join the club 😅 Also TXT is the master of happy songs with somber or down right depressing lyrics
Aww you love Beomgyu's voice. It's very warm and comforting
If you want to check out more of their songs, i recommend "Can't you see me?", "Lo$er Lover", "We lost the summer" and "Puma".
My favorite thing about TXT is that I can always expect different styles and concepts from them, I never get bored of any of their content, and also they have a closeness to the fandom that I really like, they're really fun and it's like interacting with a distant friend to me in some way (not parasocial khfasjf😅)
I recommend watching the one takes they did. It's them singing live and shot in one take. You will be able to hear their voices very clearly. Great reaction!!
I still firmly believe CROWN is one amazing debut song. Talking about growing pains, and it perfectly fits their age! The music video itself had a lot of easter eggs for their storyline, focused on their fun choreography and many visual shots. Which is great since for a debut song and music video, they need to make sure they introduce the members in a way.
