PLEASE REACT IVE LOVE DIVE

[@fidelagrengia6969]

Please also react to aespa ep. 1 and ep. 2 Black Mamba SMCU together with your crew. I'm sure they gonna love it 😊

[@dumpstacy]

Please react to VIVIZ - Red Sun, the Lyricist/Composer/Arranger is Noh Joo Hwan. It's full of strings, with a great touc of jazziness into it. It reminds me of The Red Shoes of IU, mixed with Last Fantasy album of hers, and of course with the iconic GFRIEND sound. This song is so wide in terms of instrumental, and I would love the take of the musicians on it. edit: nevermind i just saw on their not going to react playlist, the queendom songs was there except for red sun! ill be waiting patiently!

[@soulsol5362]

please reaction minnie on lee mujin service.

[@beodnoni]

if you could react to seventeen's hot i highly recommend it it's really really good !!

[@vanessarl8]

Hahahaha Hongjoong calls Olive and Pepperoni the topping hyungs!

[@mine_e]

and Ateez has I'm the One (heat-topping ver.)song by these producers 🙃

[@vanessarl8]

@@mine_e Ah yes he said the topping hyungs while explaining why it was called the heat topping version! xD

[@montyatz]

Ateez are literally the coolest, kindest, most handsome & humble pirates I’ve ever seen in kpop. Every song in their discography is a hit. They never miss.

[@chocodino931]

"these are like the most suave baseball players i've ever seen." well, to be fair, ateez are also the most suave pirates you'll ever see too. been waiting for this react video for a while and i'm so not disappointed. yall never fail to amaze me :)

[@livesuiteresident]

14:50 Meanwhile... React Musicians are trying describe the sound of blown-away listeners getting * *YEET* * into outer space like a baseball manga flick.

[@dianasoukarie2330]

"you just dropped pizza ingredients on us" I'm LAUGHING

[@beodnoni]

"that's not pirate vibe, it's just the ateez vibe" "they have redefined the pirate vibe" i've been waiting for this reaction ever since, thank u so much! i agree the song is really chaotic yet fun. i just think it's one of the charms of ateez songs

[@aintitnifty]

“this is so much like an anime” was my exact giddy reaction upon watching this mv for the first time so i was stoked to hear that comment here! thanks for reacting to our boys - The Real is such a bop, i’ve been eagerly awaiting this video and it was a blast! plus i learned a few things, which is always fun~ ✌️💕

[@vanessarl8]

Well that was the exact purpose of the director/creative team inspired by popular old mangas and animes! :)

[@Ash2theB]

I don’t know why but I thought of Jojo’s Bizarre.

[@aintitnifty]

@@vanessarl8 actually i believe much of the influence is from a Korean cult classic film called Volcano High (2001)! the anime similarities are def still there though

[@vanessarl8]

@@aintitnifty Yes I said it in another comment! Mainly that plus other mangas/manhwas of the yanki genre like Crows :D

[@caturchezer8488]

@@vanessarl8 this was actually inspired by Korean movie Volcano high

[@rise1996]

‘When it ended, I felt the need to clap… there was so much energy’ I really felt this lol. ATEEZ energy off the charts in their MVs I can only imagine what it’s like to witness live 😭

[@vanessarl8]

Yees this was meant to be a graduation celebration!! It's the epilogue song of Fever series and on the album they wore the graduation robes and hats it made me so happy and happy emotional, it felt like I was celebrating my imaginary graduation with them 🥺 So much fun, definitely felt the heung! :D

[@lera_9931]

“That was one of the best thing I’ve heard in awhile” this is exactly what I thought when I listened to Ateez songs at the very first time haha

[@Nicole-eg5pz]

I NEVER CLICKED SO FAST LIKE THIS. OMYGOSH FINALLY!!!!!

[@Gouicemnada]

Sameee

[@yeoswrld]

Me too

[@wanalya9974]

Yesss finally

[@jeoneuneggsu-el2944]

YAAAAAAASSSSSSS

[@erica8863]

Jory knows what's up. Hawaiian pizza is awesome. Hadn't heard The Real before and it stands out so much from some of the more common trends of the industry. I thought the chorus would be overwhelming but I think it rides the line very well. The choreo is fantastic too. Also, can't wait for MVSK. It's got so many elements that I think the cast will enjoy. Sick driving bass, great use of silence in the prechorus/chorus transition and a lot of rhythmic variation.

[@vanessarl8]

Yeosang was confirmed to be the peacemaker! So no biblical references here (well I mean you can if you want to), the director inspired on old mangas and mainly, the movie Vulcano High. It was all manga/manhwa tropes and characters! :D

[@oorpinks8410]

I thought about lookism a manhwa

[@yumu5460]

@@oorpinks8410 nah lookism isnt looking for the themes that the mv was going for

[@jisa9061]

The Real was one of the best releases of 2021 👌

[@joshuasandiego5094]

THIS SONG GETS ME SO HYPE

[@dianaperezruiz9634]

"It's nor pirate vibes, it's just ateez vibe. They have redefined Pirate vibe" i loveeeeed it! Cause its true

[@ignacioangelo9849]

This is one of the best, if not the best, song of ATEEZ. I'm not a (insert fandom name here), but when I first heard this song, I totally love how 'playful' the lyrics are (in a sense that it presents topics in a creative and humorous way). And a total bop.

[@muhahahahha]

Atiny

[@n.7658]

This is why I love listening to ateez. It's like with every listen, you appreciate another part of the instrumental and you might notice something you never did before, almost making it seem like you're rediscovering it. Idk, the real is just so much fun and it literally sounds like the instruments are having a party, which is so cool. Literally 멋

[@halima0909]

"It's not a pirate vibe, it's just the ATEEZ vibe." ahhh, loved that commentary, and thank you guys for reacting to ATEEZ! I always look forward to your reactions, and so happy to see them here once again :) I hope Umu and Cloud had a great time at the concert ❤

[@JazzIsAwesomeMG]

One of my favourite spotify playlists is my "Cool Traditional Sound" playlist, which is all kpop artists including traditional instrumentation in their song some way or another. It's actually really fun!

[@kimdaniel2601]

I want your playlist. I love mixed genres or combinations of traditional instruments with modern music.

[@saltytsukki4232]

Pls drop the link!

[@JazzIsAwesomeMG]

I've tried dropping the link twice, I think youtube doesn't like external links. Maybe this will work? /playlist/2RJ1jovpdo1QbrP08SY11o?si=ed49a345171c4d6f

[@Bluecupcake122]

Omg that sounds fun

[@teapayne7822]

Following now!

[@ot7biasedmashups]

The Real is such a bop fr fr! But tbh what's new from Ateez😂 thanks for this reaction! I always enjoy learning more hidden things about the songs.

[@choishiber7439]

DAMNNNN THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REACTING TO ATEEZ

[@sarah.I]

the best part about the existence of ReacttotheK, is that each time they gave a comment about the music, instruments & stuff, I literally went back to the original MV to get a better understanding/listening on what was pointed out & I love how I've learned a lot about music through this, though idk anything about chords or notes ^^''

[@choishiber7439]

I love it when Cloud impressed with my boys

[@vanessarl8]

The Dominant Phrygian is so cool! I wonder if they did the same with HalaHala and other songs of them?🤔 Thank you all, always great for learning and fun! :D 🧡

[@kei-og2dp]

ATEEZ is one of those groups who's songs are so loud and chaotic, but don't sound noisy at all (Same goes to Stray Kids) and they have their own signature sound. Can't wait for Kepler MVSK reaction because I love the instrumental for that song!

[@YoursTAngel]

Actually, not all Ateez songs are loud and chaotic. If you'll listen to their b-sides, you'll know they're one of the most versatile group in k-pop and their vocals are heavenly! They have very different style as compared to Skz!

[@kei-og2dp]

@@YoursTAngel yeah, i agree that they are a very versatile group! I love songs like turbulance too~

[@FAY-di7rg]

Can y'all stop comparing them to skz it's getting annoying

[@TheGemini610]

@@FAY-di7rg I think their point was that they also get pigeonholed by being called “just noisy/loud” but they have a method to their madness. Not a comparison of the groups but how they are perceived. That’s all.

[@BelleOfThaBall]

None of their songs sound chaotic, please stop attempting to spread that agenda and DO NOT COMPARE THEM TO STRAY KIDS!

[@yeoswrld]

I also saw Ateez in NJ this year and I loved it so much!

[@kimdaniel2601]

I love, love this song. So happy to see you react. I think the MV director 100% was going for that anime vibe and I think it worked. This song is exactly what it bills itself as-a fun song that makes you want to move-but with a real message. I’m a huge fan of mixed genres or using unusual instruments and I loved the use of the Korean instrument. I think it made the song more interesting than the Kingdom version (which I liked as well). I haven’t seen them live in concert but the live stages for this song and concert footage certainly show it’s a great song for an audience.

[@purpur9971]

I FLEW ONTO THIS AND SMASHED THE BUTTON, THANKS FOR THIS REACT!

[@degensea2456]

About that mysterious bubbly sound to me sounds like a kind of gong from Asia which are knobbed in the center which you hit the knobbed part and it will create an unpitched sound based on the size of the gong and the knobbed part. I don don't know do Korean have those gong but in Chinese percussion they are called Mang Luo （芒鑼）.

[@animemangaluv13]

I love ateez they fulfill what I miss about block b or groups like topp dogg

[@vanessarl8]

Like Arario omg! ToppDogg have so many amazing songs🥺

[@kimdaniel2601]

Did you watch their Immortal Songs cover of Block B’s Nillili Mambo and Big Bang’s Fantastic Baby mashed up with The Real? I want this song on my Spotify playlist.

[@batool2000rox]

The OG groups 😩

[@emmy8495]

I do agree, I also like the calligraphy boys best. ;) I love how happy Ateez music makes people when they listen to it.

The “mysterious bubble horn” is a gayageum, a string instrument. I think the heavy reverb effect on it made it sound like a horn to some.

i cant make up my mind about whether this is embarrassing or not but the first time i heard the song (not even the complete version back then either) i cried. like i legit cried. the performance along with the song just had me feeling that sublime overcome way where i forgot about the existence of my human body and going from being absorbed in that enormous emotion, like a mini post-concert depression lol (i did totes cry by the time we had the mv too of course, mingi elevates 🎖)
