I feel if they were going to do a ballad then Taeil and Haechan would have also been part of the sub unit. Especially since Taeil is the one in NCT whose voice suits ballads the most. While Doyoung, Jaehyun and Jungwoo voices fits R&B most.
I need more Doyoung appreciation posts cuz omg THE WAY HE DEVOURED THE LINE BABY IM COMFORTABLE WITH YOU. The bridge literally the best thing ever, start with doyoung, jaehyun iconic line, jungwoo 24/7 line just chef kiss
Not an NCT stan, but Doyoung is one of my favorite kpop vocalists, and this unit debut blew me away. The whole album gives me such Boyz II Men vibes. The harmonies and the playfulness. Jaehyun gives me such nostalgic early 2000s boy group vibes, too. I couldn't be more thankful for this. Thank you for getting this the way I get!
he sure is a really good vocalist, he has many osts and cover videos as well, so you probably wanna check them out! my first recommendation would be doyoung - like a star and his cover of fallin
When Jungwoo debuted with NCT, he was nervous and felt he was lacking in some ways and continuing to improve himself. This debut must've been very emotional for him since he's always with U & 127, now he got another unit 🥹
You nailed the explanation of Jungwoo. He is very alluring!! His whole aura demands attention and he’s such an endearing person. The funny thing is Jungwoo didn’t even become my ult bias based off of his talents & visuals. I remember seeing this random video of some kpop idol trying to sneak a Key-lime pie into a shopping kart & was instantly hooked on his humor😂 Now years later, I’m in total awe of everything Jungwoo does & I’m so happy he’s getting an opportunity to shine🥰 🙌🏽DOJAEJUNG IS A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH🙌🏽
Ahhh same with me~~ I know about nct before this but didn't get into them that much.. But I definitely love empathy era cause Boss and Baby don't stop are my favorite songs of NCT when it comes out.. Tbh I like funny people and Jungwoo caught my attention through seventeen gose episode where they're calling Jungwoo and he's so funny and cute during the phone call.. Then I started to watch their 127 Fill it up content, that's when I really got into Jungwoo and he becomes my bias.. Especially during karaoke session where he sang my favorite buzz song.. And I just thought this boy really has good voice.. I start digging about him more, watching NCT content and he's hella funny and random.. The A.S.A.P, potato, bbs diamond, look at you and NCT 2.0 where he becomes mvp.. At first, I definitely thought Jungwoo is a good vocalist when I watch him sing in NCT content. So I'm a bit disappointed when I got to know that he didn't shine much in terms of singing in NCT.. Except for boss and welcome to my playground, ohh aah his voice in Magic Carpet Ride is good too.. I love his voice so much.. So DOJAEJUNG debut really a blessing to me cause I get to appreciate more Jungwoo singing and dancing..
Perfume is one of the best works of NCT, its completely addictive. And its great to see Jungwoo having more space to shine since it doesnt happen the same way in NCT 127. I wish they would make another unit, but with Yuta
Perfume and Kiss have been on constant repeat since the album dropped!!! I love all 3 of these boys but Jaehyun that's my ult bias for literally all of kpop and when I saw this unit was a thing I knew I was doomed
You were literally one amongst a few reactors I wanted to see to react to this. I got hooked on NCT 127 when I first heard Favorite (Vampire). This debut rocked and checked all marks for me. I've grown up heavily R&B influenced and they made my heart happy. I also got their mini album and highly suggest listening to it as well. I'm happy to hear you're taking a break for your own well being, and glad NCT DOJAEJUNG helped out a bit. Keep getting better PD and great reaction!
totally agree with you on the god-tier debut, especially if you look at the promotions and the album! everything on this debut is perfection! thank you for covering Perfume. and damn, your love for jungwoo is my favorite! the recognition!! jungwoo deserves it!! i wish i could see your reaction with Kiss performance video but please don't miss out on that! hope you feel better too PD!
these three are literally my bias line (well doie the biggest wrecker since day 1, jaehyun's just jaehyun AND MY LOML JUNGWOO) but DAMN sometimes i even sit here and i would suddenly look at my home screen wallpaper and be like "wow, dojaejung really happened, like this IS happening rn" ig i'm still processing it bc that is how much of a big deal it is for me lmao😭 i've been saying their voices fit so well together literally since jungwoo's debut in BOSS!?? i mean they've been testing the waters for these 3 since i think kick it with all the trio pairings for contents and mag shoots, and they dropped hints of this debut last year through the special unit stage and the christmas medley BUT IT STILL MANAGED TO BE SUCH A SHOCK FOR ME 😭
Yes I appreciate Jungwoo lovers, My Boo gets very unappreciated. Love your reaction, This is the album of the year for me it's been on replay non stop 💚💚💚
They shot this mv in Bangkok’s studios and it was just filmed in March with a span of like approximately 3 days. Most of the shooting crew are Thais as what I’ve seen on the name list. They and DJJ are soooo good. This album is just AOTY and the title itself is already my SOTY. Their debut song is already so strong, can’t wait for the comeback.
There's been too many SOTY options this year and we ain't even halfway done 💀 I've been listening to Perfume UP AND DOWN bruh I can't grow tired of it. Usually I only have that with the weird NCT tracks but the bass and vocals have me going crazy
I believe they filmed in Thailand? Fun fact: they released their own perfumes with the same names listed on their little mug shot signs!! As well as one larger collective DJJ 50ml one as shown in the MV 😩 Please also check out their KISS performance MV! All that aside, I’m sorry you’ve been going through a dark time. If it matters any we really appreciate you going out of your way to give us these videos. Sending you love 💐 Thank you for the reactions, I always look forward to them~
@@MikariMotivation hey! Sorry for late response, I was able to get them from eng site of Soundwave KR. Although they ended up canceling for the perfume but still got the other DJJ merch from them!
New subscriber here. Doyoung is my bias in this unit. All three look and sound fantastic. The lyrics are sensual, the visuals over the top, the concept suits them perfectly. I’m really impressed. The EXO/CBX reference was spot on. Love the R&B vibes this gives off. I’m definitely an SM artists multistan. ❤
My wig was truly snatched with this, I also expected a ballad-y type of vibe, and then they slapped us with that. Doyoung truly is sexy without needing to be ~overtly sexy; he's never really been a 'thirst trap' member of NCT but his charisma and magnetism and gaze is always alluring and intoxicating. It's a mature and understated sexiness. They're upping the sexiness for him (and JaeJung) in this but still...he's like that quiet kind of confident. What a man. Sigh... lol
omg you nailed the description so well for doyoung, "mature and understated sexiness", and you can definitely see how his confidence has been through the roof during this promotion time 😩
Ahh finally find the right words to describe Jungwoo~~ Yes, he has that alluring charms on stage!! While he also has that cute and manly personality coexist when you see he in person or offstage 🤗
I RARELY hit or clench my fists, but this song, mv and look had me DEAD from the beginning!!! JESUS CHRIST!!! I am getting 2nd-3nd gen vibes, which are my faves and so much sexy but classy vibes. PERFECTION.
Wow I didn’t even pick up the “criminal” reference! I don’t know why it didn’t click but I totally see it now that’s so cool. I’m addicted to the song and mv, it feels so magical.
this debut is too good.. i feel like everyone involved in this project and concept executed it perfectly. the entire album is not my cup of tea but i've personally had "perfume" and "kiss" obsessively on loop since release and i'm not even close to getting tired yet. you'll _love_ both of these performances i'm sure of it, can't wait to see what you think also! djj is the fastest nct unit to achieve a 1st music show win and actually the only one to do so with their debut track! so so glad they're doing well and receiving so much support ♡
They filmed the mv in thailand ! And I 100% agree with you omg this debut has it all. Everyone was expecting a more grounded classical rnb song in the same vein as their pre-release "can we go back" but i love how thry chose to take a different route. Yes it's sexy but it's also super playful. You explained the "criminal" aspect of the mv really well ! The mugshot background has milliiters intstead of centimeters so they're embodying the perfumes they represent and saying they're basically dangerous and intoxicating lol okay aphrodisiac! Also Jungwoo's "fresh" image gives the concept so much personality. The mv feels so satisfying because of how diverse and complementary every set is, and how well they made them match to each member's vibe (doyoung is sophisticated and alluring, jaehyun is dashing and smouldering, jungwoo is youthful and cheeky). I'm also especially thankful to those water scenes at the end bc they really felt like the perfect little addition. It's not a sexy concept if they don't end up drenched one way or another. Also something i noticed is the subtle emphasis on the decor if that makes sense? Like the house they filmed in was super tastefully furnished and decorated, they made the street look like a cute french town, the flowers like you mentioned, and even in other performance videos there's an emphasis on design, furniture and decor (the ordinary live clip, kiss performance etc.) and i love that? It's exactly what you said, it gives the concept even more of an elegant, editorial vibe. The whole EP is super cohesive like they're mixing elements of interior design, the fragrance world and haute couture very purposefully and integrating them at the forefront of the concept, the attention to detail is crazy. And it also allows them to interact with objects in a really fun way during performance, i love that. It feels curated, luxurious and complex. And it really reflects on the art of perfume making when you think about it. It feels like art basically. That's why i think it had such an impact on us and touched our soul even while going through difficult times. It's a great reminder that there is beauty to be witnessed and fun to be had and love to be experienced. Whoever was in charge of the visual direction was spot on with this debut. I wonder how they'll manage to top Perfume lol
what u said about this curing your depression i relate so much... i remember the exact moment i listened to/watched this and i actually felt emotions after being numb for so many months. i am so grateful for this debut 😭😭😭
I appreciate your honesty about your condition, I mean I’ve been there, and listening to NCT 127 songs really cheer me up in a funny way, it’s not like I’m healed completely or drastically, but their songs and their contents really made my day, and as Jungwoo biased fan, NCT Dojaejung really gave me a lot of reason to smiles and I just happy seeing the three of them together and making this greatness album and songs SM did a really great job with this trio debut, from their concept, their songs, they really are the embodiment of Doyoung Jaehyun and Jungwoo
Can't stop...won't stop listening to DJJ's no skip album. They are so so so good! The dance practice vids and performances are just the icing on the cake! ❤❤❤
There was a short of Jisung, Haechan, and Renjun dancing to the Perfume chorus and suddenly my 3 biases became wreckers cause this song does that I guess!
Hi 👋 i am very happy this song has made you happy. It made me happy too. They really blessed us with this. Yours sincerely, A fellow jungwoo enthusiast.
Nice reaction. And now that you mentioned it, it does remind me of CBX and I love EXO CBX. I just saw the album and it’s very beautifully shot. Enjoy your break and take care.
Omg when you said it I just realised this is the EXO CBX, SNSD TTS, SJ KRY trio equivalent. And NCT have so many strong vocalists, they could make another trio of them
this is such a gooddddddd release, i have been listening to perfume and “strawberry sunday” (one of the bsides) nonstopppp they both give very 2018-19 kpop but fresh and new to me and i love that sm
Take care of yourself PD ❤ See you in June! Jaehyun and Doyoung are my bias and Jungwoo was coming for me. I didn’t expect to be so attacked so much. I had to take breaks lmao. I’ve loved everything about this debut, the concept matches them so well. Yup I would agree it did remind me of CBX.
I really like all of the NCT members, but honestly have not been vibing with their music for the past several releases. I’m pleasantly surprised with this one! Will add to the playlist!!
@@Doyoungismyfave since I hadn’t been super interested in their title tracks, I didn’t have the energy to dive deep into their b-sides. Do you have any recommendations?!
@PD you expressed the feeling I think most of us are feeling from this mv. I feel energized and happy by it. (I find NCT groups energizing anyway). Enjoy your time off in May. Thank you for your analysis and expertise. I look forward to only a handful of reactions, yours is one of them.🤗
Your reaction was very much worth worth the wait! Loved how real your reactions were, I was as shocked and amazed with this debut as you did. Been obsessed with this song (and the album too!) ever since it got released it's crazyyyy
omg you capture the whole mv really well! doyoung did say that in the mv, they are the perfume itself!! btw i was waiting for your reaction!! so thank youu so much for the react
Love this song. But I love all R&B strong NCT songs. I used to think NCT wasn't in my top 5 favorite groups until the end of the year when they were my most streamed, lol. I think it would be hilarious if Jungwoo ever saw this reaction 😂😂😂
I'm happy to see your reaction. Dojaejung is everything I didn't know I needed but thanks God we have it now. It's amazing. Check the performance for this and Kiss, I'm sure you'll love them!
The song is incredibly addicting & an excellent addition to the entirety of NCT's discography. Everything about it is gorgeous: the harmonies, the styling, the MV, the choreography, the guys themselves. 🤩 I was definitely antsy that first week while waiting for them to finally be on music shows when Jaehyun got sick. I'm sure PD will enjoy the performances & album. 💚💚
When this MV came out I was like "DAMN" until I saw the performance video, I absolutely let go and surrendered to the full-on simp. I'M GLAD DOJAEJUNG HAPPENED, everything about this was perfect - Vocals, styling, the members' put-together (fun fact: They were planning this trio since 2020!)
17:03 👄"In his lips... sorry his mouth" HAHA freudian much? Fr, I love this korean cultural context, plus all the cinematographic analysis. (And blatant bias thrist!) Enjoy your break!
this unit is truly a breath of fresh air, not only for us listeners but for them as well. they are having so much fun with these promotions, and the songs are insanely good (seriously I cannot stop listening to the mini album) There is so much attention to detail in both productions and performances but they are showing it in the most effortless way. so so good, dojaejung saved 2023.
I love your reaction to the video. Your took the words out of my mouth. I’m happy that it helped your depression. These three really make me smile a lot too.
I haven't been this excited over a Comeback in... a while... this hit different. I agree, as a fellow Jungwoo enthusiast, he definitely stood out. My goodness
Doyoung fits the sexy romantic r&b concept so well. He’s just living and thriving in it!
for real! and you can truly see it through his overflowing confidence throughout this era
They threw all of us a curveball with thinking it was gonna be ballady but then they smacked us with a dance bop!
Right!
Yes exactly!
yessss the Jaehyun part is Iconiccc
I feel if they were going to do a ballad then Taeil and Haechan would have also been part of the sub unit. Especially since Taeil is the one in NCT whose voice suits ballads the most. While Doyoung, Jaehyun and Jungwoo voices fits R&B most.
@Vixx Exo yeah. Also I think maybe it has to do with taeil joining the military soon and haechan needs a break obviously.
Song of the year. Been listening 24/7 since it was released and I’m still obsessed especially that Jaehyun part everyone knows what I mean 😏
Yeah yeah that’s me 😭
The fact that iconic choreo for that part even isn't even in this gorge MV. Hope PD enjoys the performance vids!
Same…… also Dive is on repeat
YEAH YEAH THATS ME
짙은 농도에~~~
The fact that they actually sell a perfume as the merchandise and they included blotter paper in their album is just sooo creative and on theme 😂
I need more Doyoung appreciation posts cuz omg THE WAY HE DEVOURED THE LINE BABY IM COMFORTABLE WITH YOU. The bridge literally the best thing ever, start with doyoung, jaehyun iconic line, jungwoo 24/7 line just chef kiss
Agree!!!
it's true that Jungwoo ties them together well!! So happy with the jungwoo compliments!! Alsooo, THIS TRULY IS A GOD-TIER DEBUT!! 💚✨
Always been a casual NCT listener, but Jungwoo ( really all 3 of them) got me trapped lol. Even bought the album thats how much I loved it.
literally me with jaehyun
welcome, young czennie 🌱
Literally me 4 months ago, now I’m a baby Czennie 😊
100% like you. I hadn’t really given mind to nct until I heard this. Now I like all the units 😭😭😭
Really it's crazy how Jungwoo pulled me in NCT 😭 ( i was only dream stan before) .
Not an NCT stan, but Doyoung is one of my favorite kpop vocalists, and this unit debut blew me away. The whole album gives me such Boyz II Men vibes. The harmonies and the playfulness. Jaehyun gives me such nostalgic early 2000s boy group vibes, too. I couldn't be more thankful for this. Thank you for getting this the way I get!
You must watch NCT Doyoung's Lee mujin service 😍
he sure is a really good vocalist, he has many osts and cover videos as well, so you probably wanna check them out! my first recommendation would be doyoung - like a star and his cover of fallin
When Jungwoo debuted with NCT, he was nervous and felt he was lacking in some ways and continuing to improve himself. This debut must've been very emotional for him since he's always with U & 127, now he got another unit 🥹
You nailed the explanation of Jungwoo. He is very alluring!! His whole aura demands attention and he’s such an endearing person. The funny thing is Jungwoo didn’t even become my ult bias based off of his talents & visuals. I remember seeing this random video of some kpop idol trying to sneak a Key-lime pie into a shopping kart & was instantly hooked on his humor😂 Now years later, I’m in total awe of everything Jungwoo does & I’m so happy he’s getting an opportunity to shine🥰
🙌🏽DOJAEJUNG IS A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH🙌🏽
Ahhh same with me~~ I know about nct before this but didn't get into them that much.. But I definitely love empathy era cause Boss and Baby don't stop are my favorite songs of NCT when it comes out..
Tbh I like funny people and Jungwoo caught my attention through seventeen gose episode where they're calling Jungwoo and he's so funny and cute during the phone call.. Then I started to watch their 127 Fill it up content, that's when I really got into Jungwoo and he becomes my bias.. Especially during karaoke session where he sang my favorite buzz song.. And I just thought this boy really has good voice.. I start digging about him more, watching NCT content and he's hella funny and random.. The A.S.A.P, potato, bbs diamond, look at you and NCT 2.0 where he becomes mvp..
At first, I definitely thought Jungwoo is a good vocalist when I watch him sing in NCT content. So I'm a bit disappointed when I got to know that he didn't shine much in terms of singing in NCT.. Except for boss and welcome to my playground, ohh aah his voice in Magic Carpet Ride is good too.. I love his voice so much.. So DOJAEJUNG debut really a blessing to me cause I get to appreciate more Jungwoo singing and dancing..
Same! It was because of his humor he’s hilarious but also his tone and visuals are out of this world!
Omg that’s how he became my bias but from a different random video 😂
Jungwoo is my 127 bias. I love that he is finally getting the respect he deserves.
NCT vocalists are no joke, they always serve with their vocals and performances, heavenly ✨️ You can never be wrong with them
The song has a romantic R&B vibe. The 3 killed this. This is a well thought out debut.🤗
Jungwoo really wrecked PD since Sticker era hahaha understandably so!!!!!
I love seeing the Jungwoo appreciation. 🥺
Perfume is one of the best works of NCT, its completely addictive. And its great to see Jungwoo having more space to shine since it doesnt happen the same way in NCT 127. I wish they would make another unit, but with Yuta
Jungwoo appreciation we love to see it. Try to watch the dance performance and the way he ate the choreos. we love dojaejung!
Perfume and Kiss have been on constant repeat since the album dropped!!! I love all 3 of these boys but Jaehyun that's my ult bias for literally all of kpop and when I saw this unit was a thing I knew I was doomed
Jungwoo is a very versatile idol he can just adopt to any theme and literally anything!!! He's a SLAYER!!!
You were literally one amongst a few reactors I wanted to see to react to this. I got hooked on NCT 127 when I first heard Favorite (Vampire). This debut rocked and checked all marks for me. I've grown up heavily R&B influenced and they made my heart happy. I also got their mini album and highly suggest listening to it as well.
I'm happy to hear you're taking a break for your own well being, and glad NCT DOJAEJUNG helped out a bit. Keep getting better PD and great reaction!
The fact that they each represent the top, heart, and base notes of a perfume is just genius to me
as a jungwoo fan.. i ultimately agree with you 😂 nct dojaejung absolutely dropped the biggest banger of the year 💯
totally agree with you on the god-tier debut, especially if you look at the promotions and the album! everything on this debut is perfection! thank you for covering Perfume. and damn, your love for jungwoo is my favorite! the recognition!! jungwoo deserves it!! i wish i could see your reaction with Kiss performance video but please don't miss out on that! hope you feel better too PD!

The way he describes Jungwoo… I mean this guy really knows what he’s talking about.
Yes I appreciate Jungwoo lovers, My Boo gets very unappreciated. Love your reaction, This is the album of the year for me it's been on replay non stop 💚💚💚
They shot this mv in Bangkok’s studios and it was just filmed in March with a span of like approximately 3 days. Most of the shooting crew are Thais as what I’ve seen on the name list. They and DJJ are soooo good. This album is just AOTY and the title itself is already my SOTY. Their debut song is already so strong, can’t wait for the comeback.
perfume is already one of my most played songs of all time lmao. soty, i don't think anyone can surpass this.
Best debut I have witnessed... the song is just perfection. The whole mini actually.
There's been too many SOTY options this year and we ain't even halfway done 💀 I've been listening to Perfume UP AND DOWN bruh I can't grow tired of it. Usually I only have that with the weird NCT tracks but the bass and vocals have me going crazy
I love that he appreciates Jungwoo so much. Everything he said about him is so true. Jungwoo binds DJJ together ❤
I believe they filmed in Thailand? Fun fact: they released their own perfumes with the same names listed on their little mug shot signs!! As well as one larger collective DJJ 50ml one as shown in the MV 😩 Please also check out their KISS performance MV!
All that aside, I’m sorry you’ve been going through a dark time. If it matters any we really appreciate you going out of your way to give us these videos. Sending you love 💐 Thank you for the reactions, I always look forward to them~
Hi, could you please let me know where you purchased the perfumes? I want to give them as a gift 😊
Me too
I think so too. I recognize it from a bl
@@MikariMotivation hey! Sorry for late response, I was able to get them from eng site of Soundwave KR. Although they ended up canceling for the perfume but still got the other DJJ merch from them!
@@jene.saispas thank you!
Love to see Jungwoo appreciation 😍🥹
This unit is killer and I'm hoping that NCT does more units like this!
I thought the song Perfume is a God-tier, but after listening to the whole mini album, I think my soul is slowly going to heaven.
You’re a jungwoo bias. I love you already ❤ and I haven’t even seen the whole reaction
New subscriber here. Doyoung is my bias in this unit. All three look and sound fantastic. The lyrics are sensual, the visuals over the top, the concept suits them perfectly. I’m really impressed. The EXO/CBX reference was spot on. Love the R&B vibes this gives off. I’m definitely an SM artists multistan. ❤
Yay glad to get a Jungwoo appreciator lol. He’s my fav of the group but no one puts respect on his name because he’s just one of the girls 😩
I just realized why I love your reaction: you didn't pause. You fanboying while watching until it finished and I really appreciate that.
YASSSS, THIS REALLY IS A GOD-TIER DEBUT SONG. THE ALBUM DON’T DISAPPOINT, TRUST ME. Can’t wait for you to listen to it.
My wig was truly snatched with this, I also expected a ballad-y type of vibe, and then they slapped us with that. Doyoung truly is sexy without needing to be ~overtly sexy; he's never really been a 'thirst trap' member of NCT but his charisma and magnetism and gaze is always alluring and intoxicating.

omg you nailed the description so well for doyoung, "mature and understated sexiness", and you can definitely see how his confidence has been through the roof during this promotion time 😩
Ahh finally find the right words to describe Jungwoo~~ Yes, he has that alluring charms on stage!! While he also has that cute and manly personality coexist when you see he in person or offstage 🤗
whats crazy is that mzmc who frequently worked with exo worked on this song so it just makes sense that it reminds you of them!!
I love MZMC team. They really deliver top quality
Thank you for appreciating our Jungwoo
I RARELY hit or clench my fists, but this song, mv and look had me DEAD from the beginning!!! JESUS CHRIST!!! I am getting 2nd-3nd gen vibes, which are my faves and so much sexy but classy vibes. PERFECTION.
this debut is so special because doyoung, jaehyun, and jungwoo are actually my faves from nct and now they're an official sub-unit
Wow I didn’t even pick up the “criminal” reference! I don’t know why it didn’t click but I totally see it now that’s so cool. I’m addicted to the song and mv, it feels so magical.
this debut is too good.. i feel like everyone involved in this project and concept executed it perfectly. the entire album is not my cup of tea but i've personally had "perfume" and "kiss" obsessively on loop since release and i'm not even close to getting tired yet. you'll _love_ both of these performances i'm sure of it, can't wait to see what you think
also! djj is the fastest nct unit to achieve a 1st music show win and actually the only one to do so with their debut track! so so glad they're doing well and receiving so much support ♡
They filmed the mv in thailand ! And I 100% agree with you omg this debut has it all. Everyone was expecting a more grounded classical rnb song in the same vein as their pre-release "can we go back" but i love how thry chose to take a different route. Yes it's sexy but it's also super playful. You explained the "criminal" aspect of the mv really well ! The mugshot background has milliiters intstead of centimeters so they're embodying the perfumes they represent and saying they're basically dangerous and intoxicating lol okay aphrodisiac! Also Jungwoo's "fresh" image gives the concept so much personality. The mv feels so satisfying because of how diverse and complementary every set is, and how well they made them match to each member's vibe (doyoung is sophisticated and alluring, jaehyun is dashing and smouldering, jungwoo is youthful and cheeky). I'm also especially thankful to those water scenes at the end bc they really felt like the perfect little addition. It's not a sexy concept if they don't end up drenched one way or another.
Also something i noticed is the subtle emphasis on the decor if that makes sense? Like the house they filmed in was super tastefully furnished and decorated, they made the street look like a cute french town, the flowers like you mentioned, and even in other performance videos there's an emphasis on design, furniture and decor (the ordinary live clip, kiss performance etc.) and i love that? It's exactly what you said, it gives the concept even more of an elegant, editorial vibe. The whole EP is super cohesive like they're mixing elements of interior design, the fragrance world and haute couture very purposefully and integrating them at the forefront of the concept, the attention to detail is crazy. And it also allows them to interact with objects in a really fun way during performance, i love that. It feels curated, luxurious and complex. And it really reflects on the art of perfume making when you think about it. It feels like art basically. That's why i think it had such an impact on us and touched our soul even while going through difficult times. It's a great reminder that there is beauty to be witnessed and fun to be had and love to be experienced. Whoever was in charge of the visual direction was spot on with this debut. I wonder how they'll manage to top Perfume lol
Jaehyun is model sexy, Doyoung is romantic sexy, jungwoo is cute sexy
I’m a Jungwoo enjoyer myself. ❤❤
what u said about this curing your depression i relate so much... i remember the exact moment i listened to/watched this and i actually felt emotions after being numb for so many months. i am so grateful for this debut 😭😭😭
I appreciate your honesty about your condition, I mean I’ve been there, and listening to NCT 127 songs really cheer me up in a funny way, it’s not like I’m healed completely or drastically, but their songs and their contents really made my day, and as Jungwoo biased fan, NCT Dojaejung really gave me a lot of reason to smiles and I just happy seeing the three of them together and making this greatness album and songs
SM did a really great job with this trio debut, from their concept, their songs, they really are the embodiment of Doyoung Jaehyun and Jungwoo
This is song is definitely up there on my top favorites of 2023. Sooo GOOD. 💖
One of the best songs of the year so far!!!
So true 😭
Can't stop...won't stop listening to DJJ's no skip album. They are so so so good! The dance practice vids and performances are just the icing on the cake! ❤❤❤
There was a short of Jisung, Haechan, and Renjun dancing to the Perfume chorus and suddenly my 3 biases became wreckers cause this song does that I guess!
All stunning but Doyoung is painfully exquisite 🖤.
You need to check out Kiss performance video. You will be blown away! Perfume is perfection!! I love everything about it.
Love how u mentioned cbx, the blueprint to a successful sm trio
Jungwoo is my ultimate fav too ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi 👋
i am very happy this song has made you happy. It made me happy too. They really blessed us with this.
Yours sincerely,

Nice reaction. And now that you mentioned it, it does remind me of CBX and I love EXO CBX. I just saw the album and it’s very beautifully shot. Enjoy your break and take care.
Omg when you said it I just realised this is the EXO CBX, SNSD TTS, SJ KRY trio equivalent. And NCT have so many strong vocalists, they could make another trio of them
I've been getting stong cbx vibes too!! Strawberry Sunday is so cbx coded it feels like it could have been on Blooming Days 🫶🏻
Doyoung went to Lee Mujin and HE ATE SO BAD
YESS!!!
this is such a gooddddddd release, i have been listening to perfume and “strawberry sunday” (one of the bsides) nonstopppp they both give very 2018-19 kpop but fresh and new to me and i love that sm
Take care of yourself PD ❤ See you in June! Jaehyun and Doyoung are my bias and Jungwoo was coming for me. I didn’t expect to be so attacked so much. I had to take breaks lmao. I’ve loved everything about this debut, the concept matches them so well. Yup I would agree it did remind me of CBX.
A NO SKIP ALBUM TOO DOJAEJUNG DID IT
Absolutely god tier debut for sure
Coming back to leave a second comment, the genuine joy on PD's face while watching this is so infectious!
I really like all of the NCT members, but honestly have not been vibing with their music for the past several releases. I’m pleasantly surprised with this one! Will add to the playlist!!
What about their b sides?
@@Doyoungismyfave since I hadn’t been super interested in their title tracks, I didn’t have the energy to dive deep into their b-sides. Do you have any recommendations?!
@@sevnqmin what kind of NCT sound is your favorite? ☺️
@@Doyoungismyfave I’m really all over the place with my taste so just recommend me a bunch and I can tell you which ones I like!!
The way u said jungwoo is your favorite, you're not lying tho, he's my bias 😭😭😭
Jungwoo is someone who is charming without having to try hard to show it, but when people catch his charm they are bound forever ❤❤
@PD you expressed the feeling I think most of us are feeling from this mv. I feel energized and happy by it. (I find NCT groups energizing anyway). Enjoy your time off in May. Thank you for your analysis and expertise. I look forward to only a handful of reactions, yours is one of them.🤗
Th reaction that I've been waiting for
Your reaction was very much worth worth the wait! Loved how real your reactions were, I was as shocked and amazed with this debut as you did. Been obsessed with this song (and the album too!) ever since it got released it's crazyyyy
omg you capture the whole mv really well! doyoung did say that in the mv, they are the perfume itself!! btw i was waiting for your reaction!! so thank youu so much for the react
Can’t wait to see an album reaction!
Love this song. But I love all R&B strong NCT songs. I used to think NCT wasn't in my top 5 favorite groups until the end of the year when they were my most streamed, lol. I think it would be hilarious if Jungwoo ever saw this reaction 😂😂😂
It’s the perfect song for them 💚
I'm happy to see your reaction. Dojaejung is everything I didn't know I needed but thanks God we have it now. It's amazing. Check the performance for this and Kiss, I'm sure you'll love them!
The song is incredibly addicting & an excellent addition to the entirety of NCT's discography. Everything about it is gorgeous: the harmonies, the styling, the MV, the choreography, the guys themselves. 🤩 I was definitely antsy that first week while waiting for them to finally be on music shows when Jaehyun got sick. I'm sure PD will enjoy the performances & album. 💚💚
When this MV came out I was like "DAMN" until I saw the performance video, I absolutely let go and surrendered to the full-on simp.
I'M GLAD DOJAEJUNG HAPPENED, everything about this was perfect - Vocals, styling, the members' put-together (fun fact: They were planning this trio since 2020!)
This debut was EVERYTHING to me, I totally get what you mean about this song and mv making a flower bloom in your heart. I feel totally the same way!
"That's not gonna happen" "And then it did" is so accurate to how i feel about this whole debut
The fact that they're actually producing perfume... Did I pre-order them, heck yes I did! 😅 💚
"A God tier Debut' - couldn't agree more 💚
"This reaction is a little too honest" 😂😂😂😂
Just wait until you see the Kiss performance PD... just wait....
17:03 👄"In his lips... sorry his mouth" HAHA freudian much? Fr, I love this korean cultural context, plus all the cinematographic analysis. (And blatant bias thrist!)
Enjoy your break!
This was GREAT! Dojaejung makes me so happy and your enjoyment of it makes it even better.
this unit is truly a breath of fresh air, not only for us listeners but for them as well. they are having so much fun with these promotions, and the songs are insanely good (seriously I cannot stop listening to the mini album) There is so much attention to detail in both productions and performances but they are showing it in the most effortless way. so so good, dojaejung saved 2023.
this song and unit is what we all needed
I love your reaction to the video. Your took the words out of my mouth. I’m happy that it helped your depression. These three really make me smile a lot too.
I haven't been this excited over a Comeback in... a while... this hit different.
I agree, as a fellow Jungwoo enthusiast, he definitely stood out. My goodness
Thanks for the reaction. Wishing you all the best and have a good rest period ❤❤
yeah yeah they cured every disease TT im obsessed with them
I'm stanning 2 groups including NCT right now and we have the same biases in both groups lol I've never felt so seen before
bit out of context but love the cool tone background, its super relaxing to look at
