A RETIRED DANCER'S POV- AESPA "Dreams Come True" M/V

[@darkwizard7543]

This reaction video and comment section is the best one out of all reaction videos about this song that I've seen so far. No hate, no criticisms, just pure appreciation on both S.E.S.' & aespa's version of this song.

[@ogkpopstan]

Pinning your comment because not only do I appreciate your words, but I feel so proud of my people here for keeping it chill and drama-free on your own selves without me needing to "monitor". Y'all the bestest, seriously! Save the drama for Twitter, right? :p

Just to make you even more emotional, BoA was the overall director and produced this new rendition of Dreams Come True, and Bada actually participated in the writing of the new parts. There is a mini-docu posted SM that shows the making of aespa's version and seeing BoA and Bada mentor the girls was extremely heartwarming to watch

[@Thatoneguyfromwa]

Thina: "I think they're all fighting to get my attention" That's exactly what we were doing right now

[@msken944]

And BOA produced this version. There’s a behind the scenes doc of it on the sm KZbin channel

[@joshliep]

I love how real this was. Don’t feel stupid because your reaction is very valid. Thank you for being genuine.

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

The fact that BoA, one of the OG queens, took this song and reproduced it to fit Aespa's young image shows you how much work she did to take an already legendary song and make it even more legendary~

[@davidk6269]

I really, REALLY enjoyed watching your reaction. I also remember loving Dreams Come True by S.E.S. from the late 90's, and I can completely relate to you feeling a lot of nostalgia and emotions seeing Aespa's loving reimagining of this song (BoA did a great job producing/directing this remake). Thanks for sharing your personal connection with this song and how this song reminds you of how Kpop helped you through your difficult teen years. ; ) Happy new year, and I can't wait to see what content you will gift us with during 2022. ; )

[@alee0382]

Dreams come true by S.E.S was the first Kpop song I ever listened to. I wasn’t even aware of Kpop back when the song came out. My best friend introduced me to the song and I immediately fell in love with it. I officially started my Kpop listening journey in 2004.

[@steventhammavong6887]

it was my first kpop song as well and I got into Kpop in 2004!

[@snsdtwinkle]

the nostalgia was REAL. I reacted the same exact way no need to feel dumb. It really gave justice to S.E.S version keeping key parts of the original but also making it their own. I cried too, super emotional since I've also been an SM stan for like 13 years

[@ogkpopstan]

In case any of y’all are interested in me rewatching the original version, S.E.S’s Dreams Come True, here’s the link to it, which was literally filmed last year when I started a throwback Thursdays series (which I might start up again in 2022😅): kzbin.info/www/bejne/f57GY4l9mb10iKs

[@nina-dy5qi]

omg yes throwback Thursday’s

[@Fiyablasta]

I was really looking forward to your reaction to this song for that very reason. I remember you doing the series briefly and you introduced me to the original. I knew this would be a big moment for you and you didn't disappoint. I really do hope you find a way to bring back the Throwback series, because I would love to have your insight as an OG. I still need to go back and do my own deep dives into the older generations, but hearing your perspective is always interesting!

[@MrSuperjam789]

I hope Throwback Thursdays makes a comeback again, especially now that SM are remastering their old MVs now.

[@jeeewhyyypheee]

SM did upload the remaster version which have a better video quality, it's like 90's but 4K 😆

[@kpopyaoi9973]

I feel you when you cry 'cause when you grew in that particular generation, and this latest generation is remaking it. You'll remember all the happy memories in that time as a part of your history.

She's literally an OG

[@ifancyyouofficial9697]

when you started tearing up.. i'm crying *ocean* right now.. idk the choruses for me.. it's so emotional.. especially the last chorus i just can't-

[@NerdyQueen1234]

I think this is my favorite reaction I've seen to this. It's really cool to see a kpop fan that was a fan from when the original song was popular. I didn't get into kpop until 2014 but I know how much impact S.E.S has in the foundation of the genre. And I love Asepas version it's been stuck in my head all week.

[@Ayzlxn]

Me too

[@Lyf4rMusic]

Ikr ! her intro of the 'OG kpop stan since 1998' stuck with me very much and when I saw the MV I was waiting for her to react to it bcoz she literally is a OG kpop stan who knows the differences between both the versions perfectly

[@tracisr]

Girl I cried too when the rap came on don't feel dumb. 🥺😍 it's such a perfect remake they seriously brought us back to the 90s. Please don't feel stupid that's the power of music to bring these emotions and memories out us!! 😘🥰🥰🥰

[@clarissean6052]

[@collinsxvibez3926]

I discovered kpop in 2018 but i did go back and watch the older songs that the idols we’re referring to into their vlive or whatever they were doing, so honestly this also made me emotional, idk why it did cause it’s not like it’s nostalgic, just seeing others feeling nostalgic is like plenty good for me

[@mahalleinir773]

You probably know already that BoA produced this and aespa met with Bada for this

[@blu78_]

How nice to see people getting emotional with the music they love

[@masko57]

My Aunty was OBSESSED with kpop when I was a kid, she would always play S.E.S ver of this song and we always laughed at her song but now I’m here.. 😭

[@Awytoo]

I discovered k-pop with Blackpink Dududu, which wasn't so long ago. Now I am 30. So I am pretty late to the party. But I keep diving in in this world. And I am loving it! This melody though... It gives me weird feelings. It makes me nostalgic, probably because the sinth itself very 90s. And even though I didn't listen kpop back then, it reminds me 90s pop in general. Also this melody making me a little bit sad and jealous of people, who heard it before. It's like I want to be fan of S.E.S., but it's too late, I missed the boat. So in short. These few notes, this melody is very impactful for me. Stuck in my mind and soul

[@pengcha5846]

Aespa's rendition is appreciated on such a whole different level from those who have a nostalgic connection to SES version. I feel like without that context, so much is lost in that translation from the old to new. You conveyed so much of what is lost without that context by your reaction. Thanks for the authentic reactions, always!

Wow this is the first reaction I’ve seen from aespa that actually made me tear up lol. It’s so cool seeing a literal OG kpop stan watching a newer group cover an old song…SM is a genius idc bout what other people have to say. aespa are a group of true talent and I see them doing bigger things in the future and I hope to see a group in the future cover an aespa song that would be very interesting

[@BEcauseILoveYooh]

Nothing wrong with getting emotional when listening to music. Great songs have to power to take you anywhere weather it be to the past, to good places, to bad places, it can drive you. It can heal or comfort you. Not gonna lie, I got emotional seeing you get emotional.

[@dasiahranelle]

This isnt my first time watching the mv but a few days ago i watched the S.E.S mv to see how it actually went. But now as soon as the robot part came up i teared up, bc i was so happy to see the new generation do it as well! and ive only been into kpop for 8months😭

[@mikxyeppi482]

It's really refreshing and nice to see a reaction from a kpop fan for a really long time because not a lot of new kpop reaction channels give enough appreciation for this remake from aespa because they didn't know how it sounded like (not that it's a problem) but I find it, as a 2nd gen kpop fan, satisfying that someone out there also feels somewhat the same as I do about this remake

[@callmeadreamer8-S]

Amazing reaction as always Thina! Also appreciate you always keeping it real and telling your story! I'm newer to Kpop but I'm an "older" kpop fan and have so much respect for all the kpop that came before and it's nice to see the connection that current kpop still has with the past.

[@nantu07]

[@yasminchan7425]

Not many seems to notice this(At least they don't say it), but Boa decided to test out the rappers' vocals and the vocalist's rapping skills in this remake, which I honestly loved, I wanted to hear more from Karina and Giselle's vocals, no matter how much I adore their rapping

Damn. I definitely could relate when she said she discovered kpop when she had no one. I discovered kpop before my Mom go cancer and kpop artists specially SM family helped me get through a lot. So yeah. I cried when she said that.

[@alwayselmay]

It's so touching to watch someone watching this remake who actually knows the original. It feels so sentimental. When I knew that Aespa is singing the remake of the song, I personally listened to the original before listening to the new version. I feel like it is a must to listen to the original and then the remake. I love both version overall ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Ayzlxn]

I relate to you very much in the sense that K-pop is a place for me to feel like I have something. Last year I moved across the world, I don’t have many friends and I feel very lonely at times. But when I listen to K-pop or even watch videos of my favourite groups all I my worries go away. It’s amazing how much music can do to you! Thank you for your genuine reaction, it means a lot to me :)

[@christopherh2694]

Nostalgia is a strong emotion. For people who are familiar with the original song and mv can appreciate what an amazing remake this was

[@maddiep3614]

I just love this reaction. Just seeing u emotional got me a bit emotional also. It’s not even just about the group bust just the nostalgia from those younger days and reminiscing, thinking how far we’ve come now. Thanks for reacting to this, honestly was great to see someone have the same reaction as me with the whole nostalgia :)

[@thewilythylacine]

Isn’t it great how music can transport us back to a specific place and time? Along with certain basic sense memories, it’s one of those truly magical aspects of an aware existence. Your reaction to the rap part was priceless.

[@Lyf4rMusic]

I've waited for ur reaction video the most on this remake especially bcoz I've been ur follower since the time u used to put 'OG kpop stan' in your video titles :) ... I know the Nostalgia would hit u by the time the chorus hit

[@HelloMello91]

Would love to see your reaction to BOA producing and directing their entire comeback for the remake of dreams come true by Aespa and Ningning interacting with Bada who is her role model and who she has heard she has sounded/sung like since trainee days by the SM staff/company!

[@cjc363636]

I could see the past in your expression during the scat rap. Thanks for sharing that! Great video. I wish I'd been into kpop when the original was released!

[@jennychung29]

I understand your feeling. If you are a fan of kpop more than 14 years, Girls on top and Aespa will make you feel very special, no matter you like which group. Dream come true really is dream come true. BoA first time be composer, Bada teach Aespa singing, Bada write the lyrics with BoA. The youngest girl group sing the oldest girl group, only SME, who understand this feeling. I do like Aespa, they're freaking talent, this song can't success without Aespa-BoA-Bada. SMe going crazy when they debut Aespa. Can't believe that I love Kpop again because Aespa. (After SNSD). Btw: I hope Karina cover BoA no.1 with BoA producing it.

[@JamesLee_1945]

Definitely the best reaction video! I think we're about the same age then... because I teared up around the same spots that you got emotional. 90s/early00s were tough times for me and listened to these 90s Kpop songs to spend time alone. Thanks for the video!

[@happy_camper]

Oh wow.. I cried with you just then, aaahh.. I really felt that. That part of the song is special, like a time machine to the 90s. It’s the part that really hits you when you hear it, and when you see that little animated dude. It’s a heart-felt reference to the original. I didn’t know the song at that time, as I got into kpop a few years later, but I feel the nostalgia for that period of time and it takes me back. We are close in age, which is why your channel always speaks to me. But wow, taking that one step further..I moved when I was 15 too. It was so hard. I moved a lot when I was really little, because my dad was in the army. But when I was in high school, that last move was difficult to overcome, and it affected things for years afterwards. I never made any true friends at my new school. And the “friends” I did make treated me like shit. Similar to you, I had to deal with family members as well. I felt like an outcast everywhere. The distance made things complicated between me and my old friends, and we had a slow painful falling-out over several years. But music always kept me going. I lived on j pop/j rock forums back then and made friends online, which my family couldn’t understand at that time (early 2000’s). I felt alone everywhere except online. Music literally saved my life, and every once in awhile I’m reminded of that. Crazy isn’t it?? We keep going ❤️💪

[@LTYnivek]

Your reaction to this remake was the best. It really shows how OG you are and are very appreciative of how aespa paid tribute to this while making it their own.

[@isitmorningstar]

i've been waiting for ths reaction knowing she's an OG kpop stan.

[@bennu547]

I just want to give you a hug! I get bullied by my family too. Currently I’m a shit human being for calling out my brother’s abusive behaviour towards his kids. Yet most of my family are feeling sorry for him. My cousin told me that “the people who help are always the ones who are wrong for some reason” and he’s absolutely right. So I have some not shirt people in my family at least. But it still sucks to be the one that “ruined Christmas” and a terrible human being. I don’t know if it’s like this for you that you’re just bullied by your family just because and there’s always one golden child that needs protection even if they’re in the wrong. I just wanted to say that I can relate in a way. For me it’s sucks feeling like you’re alone in a situation and it helps to know that there’re others who are going threw similar things

[@_ronin9509]

Winter: how high do you want me to go? BoA: YES!

[@anonymousdevildog1406]

I was 20 when SES came out w/ this song but didn't hear it until I joined the Marines a few yrs later. Fell in love w/ SES immediately back then. When I heard THIS song by AESPA I got emotional too. This song was how come I started to explore this group then I got all their fan stuff from Korea. T-ARA will be my modern favorite but AESPA is certainly taking my heart away... these girls are so beautiful and they did an amazing job on the video here.

[@nikodismal4989]

As a fellow OG KPOP fan from the late 90's, I can totally relate to feeling overwhelmed by Aespa's remake/remix of Dreams Come True! This takes me back to my college days where my Starcraft buddies introduced me to S.E.S. Thank goodness for Napster at the time (no, I no longer condone such methods of acquiring music).
