Hello, sorry for riding this post. But can you do a reaction to ZEROBASEONE - Crush please? I think the song's vibe suit it well bcs its kinda similar with Drama

[@carmscozycorner1111]

I swear SM groups have the most interesting songs to listen to. I could listen to them a million times each and still find something new

[@pinkbloodsquad7766]

FACT, I never feel bored

[@TLove1015]

yeah it's fun hearing the little weird sounds in the background or when you discover there were hidden harmonies you just realized were there all along even though you've been jamming to the songs for a million times already!!!

[@kaydkaydkayd]

so true sometimes it almost makes me feel like im getting gaslit when i notice a crazy random sound in the background

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

That’s especially the case with Aespa ~~ SM artists for me also make the most interesting and coolest songs

[@rarynizz]

FRFRFR

[@thevvvvv]

drama is in my top 5 most replayed songs of 2023. it's so dark, intense, and powerful. the high-notes are sooo good especially ningning's during the pre-chorus (for some reason her vocal tone makes it more dramatic than winter's). most of the times i just sit and listen to the song, i love going through it and just feel it!

[@bad_kmj2467]

No need to compare lol you can just say that without saying someone is better

@@bad_kmj2467i said "makes it more dramatic" and i like how it adds more to the intensity of the song. oh did i say the "high-noteS" ARE so good? ....and that includes...? i don't know how your brain interpret my opinion as hating lol

[@peteartieda58]

To the musician who said this is so League of Legends coded, she gets it! Aespa's musical identity is so tied to technology, futurism and video game concepts. And to think Aespa were not chosen to sing the anthem for the LoL 2023 Championships when it fits perfectly to their brand is such a questionable decision.

[@belaytriks]

I feel like money.....

[@KimJongin-s1l]

ikr, why popular game developer dont choose them like.. for real they are the most gg that has soul on it

[@arastrabella]

Payola?

[@МарияПетрова-ъ6н]

Famous Hube payola😂

[@katierina31]

The creative directors of AESPA were inspired by KDA and industral EDM/rock before AESPA debuted. Whici is why they have a lot of similarities! Of course they're clearly not the same concept and sound-wise. Also with AESPA's new song SUPERNOVA, I can't help but see a bit of a similarity with XG with the cinematography.

[@rennebem]

I genuinely think this is a song only aespa could pull off

[@alazar991]

AGREED

[@stantalentedidols8824]

rightttt

[@bennyb5011]

Don't jump me but i think nmixx would ate that 🏃🏿 both group have the best vocal of 4th gen After all

[@rennebem]

@@bennyb5011 I agree on the vocal but I think the nmixx members are too young rn to have that mature charisma that drama needs

[@eltafadhityasramadhan1398]

​@@bennyb5011they both have a great vocal but dont get me wrong, drama is THAT song and only aespa could pull it off 👀

[@fivestarmichelin_]

Drama is their best era imo. Everyone absolutely killed it. 😭😭😭❤️ As usual love the musical information n discussion.

[@jessicajones9223]

And now that their full album is out, I still cant believe they TOPPED THEIR BEST ERA EFFORTLESSLY LIKE HOWWWWW SUPERNOVA AND ARMAGEDDON ATE UP DRAMA AND LEFT NO CRUMBS IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY HOW THEY KEEP CREATING NEW LEVEL FOR THEMSELVES 😭😭😭

[@christhis5453]

Supernova only had a meager budget and a campy dream..and still managed to eat up Drama 😂

[@MinjeongsWinter]

I came back to this and to make it short, 2024 is Aespa's year 😉

[@reistellae]

When Drama came out, I was OBSESSED!! While I get the analysis on the song not being more impactful about the trauma line, I feel like it does what it needs to do. Especially when singing along to the song, I feel so strong and in control when “I break trauma” comes on.

[@ssssundae]

yeah i dont think singing about moving on from or breaking through trauma makes light of it tbh, i felt like that analysis fell a bit flat

[@reistellae]

@@ssssundae yeah, I think the line is actually really appropriate. Given that Drama is about the girls taking control of their lives, of their stories, I feel like something like trauma is usually defined by a loss of control. Not being able to control the circumstance you went through, or how people treated you. Breaking the trauma is symbolic of defiantly declaring that trauma won’t define you and it won’t define your story. At least that’s how I interpret it and it’s my favorite line of the song for just how simple yet powerful it is

[@stantalentedidols8824]

Drama is a MASTERPIECE

[@jsxhyz]

"Gucci?" LMFAOOOO

[@iralepppi]

gucci i’m motha ah im a stunnah !!

[@doodlesbyalex8765]

THE DRAMA INSTRUMENTAL >>>

[@algoribbon9992]

Professor Sean is teaching a class on nuances of using distonal sounds in a melody, and Umu is sitting in the back of the class saying, "I thought I signed up for k-pop lit 101..."

[@Gayatri-by3wi]

9:10 I'm so glad someone noticed Giselle, I truly feel that she brings something different to aespa when she sings, I like her tone

[@heidisupple3259]

"The texture of that sound is very satisfying." is SOOOO accurate. I LOVE listening to it because of that! And the crispy & somewhat grainy visuals make it even better!!!

[@ngl_ae4854]

omg 4:05 YES AESPA NEEDS TO DO A LEAGUE SONG

[@leeyooow]

YES! RIOT listen

[@a.a677]

YES PLEASE

[@maxsaboofpiu]

Apparently i like aespa songs more when they sound 'consistent'

[@moonserafim]

same i totally get it

[@btsismyoxyjin2013]

What do you mean by consistent??

[@Ryan-mj6jn]

@@btsismyoxyjin2013 It means that it sounds like “a song” instead of sounded like a combination

[@WitchlightNW]

same i was glad there was a visual along with the explanation otherwise i would be so LOST!

[@purrrrrate]

5:35 actually there is an official version of the song with the dance break and was performed twice I think, the MMA Drama performance and the Smtown concert Drama performance!

[@universalsubliminals1174]

i always LOVE seeing your aespa reactions in my notifications. to me, this song tops savage as my new favorite comeback. I love love love the chorus, and the bridge and the prechorus, it's all so dramatic and unique sounding

[@chiczens3634]

aespa's song is top tier 🔥

[@IconicClip]

5:19 You guessed the future😭😭 Kardashian made this song a backtrack lol

[@AyalaBlack]

17:59 the way I cackled 😭😂 good job Mr / Miss Editor you've worked hard! Drama is for me the most ear pleasing Aespa title track and she is an absolute bop. She is in my top three fav aespa song behind Savage and Welcome to My World ngl

[@kyungsu1203]

SM girl groups have crisps in their music that I will never get bored by repeating them. Their vocals are so good and when their adlibs give me goosebumps.❤❤

[@xerosolar307]

It has been AGES since I enjoyed, not only an SM, but a Big 3 song like I enjoyed Drama, this was constantly on-repeat for me, and I don't stan Aespa at all, I love this song and I love to know why I love it, it's so fun and catchy and dramatic (pun non intended), well done Aespa, well done!!

[@wntrnet]

5:16 Kardashians used this song on their new season of KUWTK 😭

[@ABrunnaGoncalves]

9:16 “I like the power behind the blonde one” ❤

[@luxfindings]

someone who finally appreciates Giselle's voice!

[@cr0wzzz]

The editing on these videos is sooo underrated! It's so much easier to visualize some of the concepts mentioned thanks to this!

Excited to see what they think of the bridge and final chorus 👀

[@hayahayah]

It's been 7 months and I'm still in drama syndrome. aespa is the best! And they're coming for a cb this year on May 27th and I'm excited! They also pre-released one of their track in Armageddon which is supernova on may 13th!!! So let's anticipate it also. They're cominggggg and I'm their girls from the back.

[@backpain2759]

Finally!!!! Drama is such a banger.

[@ieathyunjinabs]

They did rly good with this video. The zoom ins, transitions, beats, CGI, etc.

[@SinVVV]

Really fun and interesting to see the different perspectives between classical and jazz with Lana and Danica, I could listen to them talk for hours, I think, they seem super cool too.

Mentioning that its "League coded", I 1000% agree. Parts of the song were very KDA, in particular Villain.

[@jsyt37]

Yes this was my first thought. Especially the "hey" shouts in the background. So K/DA.

[@Yunjhyun]

The dance break is in their performances, go check it outt❤

Thanks for all of your hard work and sharing your knowledge!! Edits included! As someone with extremely limited musical background, I love the added definitions and explanations. I may not "get it" all, but it doesn't mean that I don't need or want it 😊 Please also do RIIZE too. Talk Saxy, Get A Guitar, Memories. Ten's Nightwalker would be nice too.
