I really think you‘re gonna like love me like this even more so i‘d really recommend that you check it out wether you make a video about it is obviously up to you :). thank you for taking the time out of your day to give us these reactions i really really like them, so again thank you :)

xikers fanbase had a goal for 1million views for the first 24h... they hit 10 million after 25hours or something like that so they did really good ahaha. and like ateez had 430 first day sales and xikers had like 25k or 30k ? so the growth in kq is noticeable😭

[@melisagustafsson3414]

Not fair comparison of debut numbers Ateez ran so xikers could walk.

[@enaldia]

The girl you keep pointing out with the bop is Gauel, the oldest. There’s no positions but she’s insinuated to be a lead rapper and on the dance line. Some argue she’s the main dancer. she’s definitely a strong dancer. Normally she doesn’t get a lot of lines but she came to PLAY this comeback and we’re all here for it. Her stage presence is sooo overlooked

[@KoALa_tOo_BAsIc]

None of Ive r strong dancers but yujin is basically the best dancer

[@froggymuds]

@@KoALa_tOo_BAsIc gauel is actually pretty strong if u look at their extra contentv

[@lunarialoonatic]

@@KoALa_tOo_BAsIc I’m not an expert dancer but I have danced for 4 years. Gauel is really strong. It’s just that she’s overlooked often bc Yujin is pushed forward (Yujin is strong don’t get me wrong). But I would argue her and Gauel are on the same level but excel in different styles. Gauel rrslly slayed this swag style. But if you want dance practices her sense of rhythm and fluidity. In After Like she trended for her perfect “Cupid bow arrow move” in the chorus. She’s strong. Starship doesn’t show that though

[@KoALa_tOo_BAsIc]

@@froggymuds I actually look into their dancing but no she ain't a strong dancer, strong dancers r Lisa, yeji, jiwoo, hikaru, dayeon, seulgi, Jihyo, momo, hyoyeon, boa, Alexa, etc. She's like the second best dancer in Ive. Let's bfr, dancing ain't ives strong point

[@KoALa_tOo_BAsIc]

@@froggymuds she's pretty much a below average dancer but since all of Ive except yujin r bad dancers than she's the main dancer with yujin

[@sundaytosaturday5080]

xikers is so talented, their live vocal🔥🔥

[@Mistiny1791]

Whenever you do have the chance on your own. Definitely check out Xikers album. I was blown at how good it is. They have a lot of potential to go into so many areas of music. I’m excited. And KQ definitely knows how to create performance monsters. Their live stages thus far have been insane. The live performance of their b-side Xikey being a great example. I’m so proud of them. And I know Ateez is breathing easier seeing how well received their debut has been. OH and the person you noticed was Hunter. He’s the main dancer of the group and he’s from Thailand.

[@hyewonlovebot]

The bass beat for Tricky House is so filthy like it hits your very soul. Also loving the wind instrument behind the beat that plays throughout. Really brings home the Goblin (or as the Korean title of the song says 도깨비) aspect of the concept. Also I think it's because of the MV's colour editing but I can't help but be reminded of Ateez' THANXX specially towards the end part.

[@atiwatixx]

LITERALLY IVE NEVER MOVED AROUND SO MUCH IN MY LIFE XIKERS DEFINITELY CAME IN WITH SUCH A BANGER

[@zxoe]

bro fr xikers definitely on top

[@cloudprince_ren0086]

I got lucky enough to see them open up for ateez when I went and they were amazing everyone was screaming so loud for them it was insane 💛💙🫧 Also the Korean title is 도깨비집 which is basically goblin house which could also mean an enchanted or spookish house but 도깨비 are basically spirits that are known for being tricksters and they either help people or play tricks on them so that’s their concept right now from what I know

[@jaywonsun2479]

Hi Caitlin!!! If you knew there's one more new song from NMIXX, young, dumb ,stupid is pre-release and there TT is LOVE ME LIKE THIS and promise That's may favorite song from them, btw thank you for your reaction to nmixx!!😭💗

[@kimsstan]

yaasss GAUEL ate it!!! She is the main dancer and lead rapper! SHE finally get the more screen time and lines and ngl she killed it! YASSS GAEUL STANNERS WITH U❤

[@yougetoutfromhere]

Why everyone type her name as GAUEL? she's GAEUL

[@vron124]

Also after reading some comments i totally agree with about xikers!! Their budget for the MV was indeed insane thanks to ateez!! ateez brought kq ent. out of debt, and into the green so seeing xikers have a crazy debut mv isnt all too surprising!! And the korean title translates to goblin house as some people have already mentioned. but there is a whole myth about "dokkaebi" and whatnot, which includes that if a bit of blood comes into contact with an inanimate object, that object can be transformed into a dokkaebi, thus the 10 broomsticks (at least i think so, they might not include the blood thing lolol but like, the whole thing with dokkaebi is that they're spirits created from initially inanimate objects)!!

[@thursdayschild9219]

omg I think you’re gonna love “Love Me Like This” by NMIXX, they recently got their first ever music show win with that song !! 🫶

[@jessi5288]

Ahh both Xikers AND Cravity!?!? Xiker’s debut was more than expected. I love their energy. And this is, for me, Cravity’s best. It’s like they finally found their sound and it matches them really well. And IVE grabbed me too this year. Completely unexpectedly.

[@retromooncollective]

xikers ep is so good ~ they really did live up to expectations of being a "kq group" they really know how to find talent :')

[@nuclearana]

when i saw ateez i had NOO clue they were bringing xikers onto a lot of the tour stops, it was such a cool surprise 😭and now i'm honored to say i've seen them pre-debut!!

[@Alex-ph3xb]

react to nmixx love me like this pls, thats a BOP

[@downthispath6538]

Kitsch is definitely up there in terms of IVE singles even if it's not going to be their title track from their upcoming album. It's just so damn catchy and the chorus slaps. Gotta have to have my speakers ON to really appreciate it damn!

[@vineyard3273]

IVE and Cravity yay!!! ❤

[@Yeosdoberman]

Hunter :) from XIKERS (the name you were wondering about) :)

[@rahjahknows]

NMIXX's EP expérgo is so good! There is something for everyone. You can't deny their vocal talent, especially since their EP showcase, the music show performances, and their It's Live for Love Me Like This proved they are super stable performing live. Give them a chance!

[@solacee4327]

Frere Jacques is the original nursery rhyme, but it has different versions in other languages. You probably know "Brother John"

[@blackpearlstuds]

For me, NMIXX is moving in a direction I appreciate more. This song is super cute, and that nursery tune got my attention, too. I am not French either, but it was a common rhyme when I was little. Love Me Like This, oh that is the song for me, though. And the choreo. Sassy.

[@marit2882]

16:34 I'm gonna tell you his name😂It's Hunter!!

[@zr4664]

It’s the Brother John nursery rhyme. Which is just an English version of the original French version. I love that it gave me those childhood vibes, this is actually the first NMIXX song I liked. Made me interested in their comeback and it was actually really good

[@Laura-pq3uh]

Kitsch really got the whole reddit *devided* and im just sitting there reading everything like ??? what 😭😭 i've been replaying it since it came out lmao

[@Manic-Pixie-Dream-Ghoul]

Xikers are monster rookies! I’ve been following them since KQ Fellaz 2 and they are already so amazing at performing live! Their concept is that they are playful trickster Goblins and I think they perfectly captured that in their music video

[@rossh01]

14:50 that's hunter he's the only thai member in xikers. I highly recommend them , you'd not be dissapointed.

Hi Caitlin, if you like IVE and you want to enjoy them more, they're having comeback April 10 with 1st full album with 11 songs

xikers debut album is so far my favorite debut album of all time! NO SKIP!

[@aurelliaazzah8604]

listen, XIKERS IS A ROOKIE MONSTER!! they just came out from the womb and already went this strongg. I think KQ love to create some demons 'cause I saw their stage and the stage presence is a chef kiss, they're amazing!!

[@rhaenyra2616]

dammit girl in xikers you were also impeached by the charming Hunter i feel you girl... 🤣🤣🤣 actually soon these guys will come up with another mv of their second title track, which is quite different from this first one!

[@XikersHxnter]

I saw a comment about the MV of Xikers, and said that Goblin, the tittle in korean is Dokkebi Ship "도깨비집" is literally "the house of the goblin" and in Korea the goblin is represented by a blue spirit and in Google says "are nature deities or spirits possessing extraordinary powers and abilities that are used to interact with humans, at times playing tricks on them and at times helping them." And that comment made a theory thar their were helping that he looked very tired and went home late, giving him a different time having fun, I think is a very unique concept, KQ always bring us different kinds of concepts and music, Xikers are so cute and so talented even in their pre debut era, you will fall in love with them so easily, because they're so chaotic and fun too, please listen to their album is so good. English is not my first language I hope you understand ❤

[@danycatacora6999]

Cravity's discography is quite an experience😊

[@yungsasuke1923]

I know you said you weren’t gonna check out Xikers much, but their album is insane. It’s a must listen

[@kaliebean03]

I feel like NMIXX stands for obviously like Mix-pop(the change-ups) but also mixing up their style in genre of music, like how young dumb stupid is a change of concept and musical sound then what we heard before. I think Essentially NMIXX stands for constant change and development!

Yes xikers went to LA and BBTrippin is also working with their choreography. They did the US leg of their tour (could not go to Canadian stop due to weird visa stuff). Xikers concept is kinda like goblins-but they are more tricksters than goblins that eat you.
