I'm so looking forward to 2 Baddies and Seulgi's '28 REASONS'. I'll be waiting with respect. Hoping you guys could react to SEULGI's side tracks too. :)

This is probably one of the strongest debuts in K-Pop history. I was waiting for this upload.

[@KPOPDAD]

I just love how you break down the music. Something I can't do but I so appreciate the ability to hear the details and map out the formulas used. At the same time still listening with enjoyment of how music taps into our emotions.

[@allisonsts3594]

same, I love the way they explain everything in detail even though not many people understand it, somehow I enjoy a song much more when they unwrap it so well

진짜 250형님 뭘 만들어낸거냐?? 전공자들이 들어도 예상 못한게 계속 나온다는 소리뿐이네 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[@midori58]

14:20 THIS. I often hear this in songs, mostly in hip-hop, and it's ALWAYS satisfying. Like, they really make sure that you bop your head at the start, and then SLAP you with some type of off-beat (I don't know the terms). It's always a pleasant surprise.

[@user-hd9db7wb3j]

진짜 처음 봤을때의 그충격… 진짜 민희진이 작품 계속보고싶다.

[@jae8697]

Me too! It breaks my heart that this beautiful talented group that's her brainchild is under threat from their own company because they want to kick out Min Hee-jin. I really hope both NewJeans and her survive this somehow. MHJ is a renown creative mind for good reason and the NewJeans girls are massively talented.

[@JYPofficiaI]

어텐션이 진짜진국이었지... 멤버들 정보도 모르는 상태에서 띡 나왔는데 그냥 미쳐버림

honestly this album and this group is the best thing that ever happened to me this year. so glad that i discover their music, truly amazing!

[@croissant420]

Hell yeah Irfan you are right.

[@thezircadia]

Adam cracks me up so much - "Maybe after this I'll get some" ready be sold on some jeans by kpop hahahah I love it. Kayla is amazing, too. These two.

[@edg.ewin86]

The thing about 1 and 7 is that, it clashrs on its own, but when supplemented and complemented with other notes that harmonise with the two, it sounds SUUUUPER nice, it gives that nice release but it also gives you enough hunger to listen to the next part... Sang in a choir when the bass and sopran sang 7 and 1 for a few bars and it feels similar to the chorus!

[@shuu-wasseo]

i love the harpsichord comparison...learned something new! i did notice how the chorus felt a lot more dreamy than the verses that were a lot more focused on being upbeat

[@heidi9908]

Exactly, it sounds so effortless, but there's been so much thought put into it and so whenever I hear something real cool or well crafted in it I get so happy, it's so cool 😁

[@sophiaisabelle027]

These musicians certainly have a lot of insight and intellect to share with the viewers on this channel. NewJeans is a fairly new girl group, however I do think they still have the potential to make it even further in the industry. It all takes a matter of time.

[@peachyskeleton7484]

@@MD-rp6jd the last group that got so far with their debut songs was blackpink in 2016 so I feel like they are def are going to be really big

[@prionapritipattanaik988]

NewJeans had one of the strongest debuts in a decade or more. Like it's such a cohesive debut album and the girls already have song credits. It's so addicting. So excited for their future comebacks!

[@st1nkylulu]

Whoever made this song needs a raise because it is made sooooo well.

[@queendom9606]

I like how Ali describe the dry and whet parts of the song the contrast through the song was done very well I think that’s why it’s fun to listen too

[@raymanLENG]

the groups that taken the industry by storm!!! thanks again UMU! been waiting for u guys reaction!

[@Slaphappy1975]

So very few rookie groups get my attention. These girls did instantly. One of the best debuts I've evzr heard 🔥❤️

[@renaee_qt]

NewJeans have only made amazing songs! Such an amazing and unique group. I love the throwback y2k vibes. Sounds like something that would be in a Bratz movie as the main characters get ready for the first day of school! Does anyone else get that vibe too??

[@hirohiwo]

now I wanna hear them react to the entire debut album that's consisted of all their 4 debut songs. As always, this channel's reaction is gold and I'll never get tired of listening to them explaining things I 70% don't understand but I listen to them anyways because they're so fun to listen to.

[@thedominasian]

With how popular "mix pop" has become and groups trying to differentiate themselves without more and more complex songs, this debut came as a breath of fresh air.

[@ayenvee]

"I'm a fan." Yep, we have not reached chorus at that. So fun watching your reactions! I learn a lot. Haha

[@omelas7730]

im a BIG fan of newjeans' music but this crew.. you guys make everything more fun and show me things i haven't realized and i love you. all. thank you for the video to everyone participated!! looking forward to more 😌🤍

[@vincenzlee]

Should've also been a stream party of all tracks of NewJeans in the 'New Jeans' EP because basically 3 out 4 tracks are the group's title tracks - and that makes more sense to know what NewJeans really is capable of

[@IO-hh3gw]

I love how they pointed out the motion of the song. I noticed it but I just can't find the words to describe it and they described it well, they're right the song is not holding the listeners back it's in constant motion and never put the listeners on edge, the song doesn't have a huge beat drop or a strong build up at all.

[@vegantirex]

im really looking forward for newjeans' future sound. yes it's not something new in kpop, but it's so fresh to this 4th gen kpop (at least for me)

[@Cuong72757]

NewJeans’s songs are so niceeeee!!! ❤❤❤

[@callmeyourbae2859]

this song is really a bop

[@MatthewGaither]

This song is so good and such a breath of fresh air. The ReacttotheK team did a great job of breaking down why that is and what makes it really special. I enjoyed this one a lot!

[@figgynewts56]

Kevin and Owen together are a dream team. They seem to respect each other so much, but are not afraid to give contrasting opinions or viewpoints. I love listening to them!

[@hayleylow]

Ok this made me want to go listen to the whole ep again!! I was on the floor when they dropped it out off nowhere. Hands down my favorite debut

[@idoling_yt]

It was SO amusing to hear everyone describe the song’s elements and it always matched what occurs when you have a crush and try to get their attention. Very intriguing! I had struggled to figure out what all is so satisfying about this, as well as nostalgic. While I understand the technical aspects a bit more now, I wish I knew musical theory to fully grasp it. Also, I still can’t pinpoint what music it reminds me of - this has been so frustrating. But hey, maybe it’s for the best? Maybe it’s songs from Barney or something.

[@valintong889]

I am a new New Jeans fan today! They are different, nostalgic and classic. You can feel that you can easily listen to the songs 10 to 20 years and its a bop.

[@enixcheen5192]

if you like them you'll like tripleS too!

[@decarvaj2256]

I've never wanted a reaction vid so bad like this one!!!

[@lainanambinga671]

Just realised you have 814K subscribers and 796K views. Its really rare for channels to have that ratio. Congratulations for having such a loyal fan base

[@doreimani]

AHH I've been waiting for you guys to do this one!! I made a video a couple of months ago analyzing Attention's chord progression and it's extremely validating to watch you guys have the same thoughts (and to know that I wasn't wrong about the chord progression 😭). I love this song so much, it is hands-down gonna end up at #1 on my most played songs of the year wrap up

[@ririko8128]

Favorite reaction in a while ❤️ They should react to the whole EP

[@williamdibble1292]

I've been listening to this song since it came out, and I just realized their spelling was clever and not just strange, because when they say "a t t e n t i on" the last bit sounds like "eye on".... attention!

[@tatanano359]

It's really amazing that they can hear the chords(?) precisely lol

[@rocacore]

If Kevin didn't mention that little voice behind I would have not noticed it!! The song sure it's catchy, also you guys discussing the chord progression was very cool!!

[@나나-u1v]

작곡 연출 안무 의상 외모까지 모든것이 완벽한게 신기할정도예요. 노래도 너무 중독적이예요 노래분석해줘서 감사합니다.

[@angeloveloso1738]

I just love NewJeans and haven't been able to stop listening to their whole album since it dropped. Best new group in Kpop

[@omist2877]

newjeans gives me strong red velvet vibes musically wise and they lowkey have a SM image and sound! no wonder i liked their music since the first listen...

[@niahkasia1919]

If you didn't know it already: the person behind this song actually was part of SM and worked with Red Velvet and F(x)

[@hh-jy1ld]

Biggest loss for RV/SM 😢

[@_gu3ssMe]

I think the vocal part(which is Bb) has a little (microtonal)tune up and that makes song doesn't feel boring

[@aannhhrr]

The most education thrown in a reaction video.. this channel is up there in kpop education category, no other channel can match reacttotheK

[@_janiyahh]

“Hurt” is a good one by NewJeans!

[@trinimenaba]

I was surprised, because just today I was thinking that ReacttotheK should make a video reaction to this song. I don't follow them, because there is a huge age difference between me and them, but musically I liked Attention and Hype Boy.

[@환락의퍼플]

난 이노래가 가장 흥미로운 건 영상을 안보구 노래만 들으면 전혀 다른 느낌을 준다는 것 그리고 지금까지의 케이팝과는 다른 세련된 느낌이 좋아

[@asmamohammed5659]

I kid you not I will forever be listening to attention and will never get tired of it and that goes for the whole album it’s so easy to listen to I live a very mundane life so this sounds so nice especially on a train ride from college or work honestly wouldn’t be surprised if the reach mainstream success fast really rooting for them.

[@res.tuwagapat]

finally new jeans 🥹❤️ i need hype boy reaction tho 😭

[@TheWoofPack1]

I really appreciate the editing of these videos! Whenever someone is referring to something specific in the song and the editing will provide an audio playback at the same time so you know exactly what they're referring to, a very nice touch that helps a lot! The terminology definitions are also a very nice touch, thank you for the hard work!! Could you also do a reaction to 'My Satisfaction' by IVE?? Haha

[@dylang.6457]

Please the Mickey Mouse ears on Jason took me out every time 😭

I am a bunny, a music enthusiast, though not a musician. As a non-musician, I want to explain what I'm hearing, but often can't. This is great for non-musicians like me to understand why something sounds unique or off.

[@user-this-isak-eybo-ards-mash]

I love their analysis of chords timbre and rhythm of the song. They really perfectly captured the essence of newjeans’ debut song (and that of the group) - effortlessness.

[@user-this-isak-eybo-ards-mash]

Subscribed- want more of this!

[@반걸음-d4s]

'Bb + Bbmaj7'은 이 영상에서 붙인 '빛나는 태양 + 물결치는 물'의 이미지를 사운드로 만든 느낌이다. '태양의 빛'은 직선적인 이미지로 시원함과 연결되고 '물결'은 반복적 패턴이 진동하는 모습을 보여주는데 그게 몽환적인 느낌을 주는 듯 하다. 1+7의 뒤섞음이 만들어낸 결과물인 듯. 리뷰어가 이 포인트를 잡아내는 걸 보고 나는 감탄할 수밖에 없었다.

[@CallMeNic0VA]

I like that they didn’t build on attention at the end, it feels like those minor moments where you see that boy you like say a word or two and they just leave. You see them and it’s exciting but then that attention just becomes deprived from you

[@hyleore]

the reactors are really fun but the editing on these videos is also what makes them fun to watch

[@pokopoko14]

Not really sure how to describe it, but I like “Crystal” sounds in kpop, kinda like LOONA’s Butterfly or Number 1 or modern citypop. Exactly why this group caught my attentiooooon. They did music outside of the trendy angsty, edgy, rap chant thing a lot of kpop girl groups been doing, because it apparently is more ‘marketable’, while they’re proving the sound usually reserved for Bsides would actually sell well.

[@enixcheen5192]

if you like them you'll like tripleS too!

[@junkyukoala8706]

The song is so good 😭 I love NewJeans ❤

[@greenlatte99]

The funny fact is that the composer of the song is actually the one who usually composes Korean folk songs. His career tells us how the cords and harmony sound fresh to the western people.

[@kenyanbee753]

New jeans feel like a breath of fresh air

[@tildatiger]

The editing of this video is so fun AND informative, I have to applaud that while also loving the entire content! Putting in the effort to label parts of the video for those of us who want to go back to certain clips is also very helpful, so thanks!
