Thank you to everyone who is commenting with suggestions. The more requests I get for a group/song, the higher up on my to-watch list they will become.
HOWEVER, if it's a recent song from one my BIAS groups, (like Blood, Sweat & Tears, Decalcomanie, or Fantasy, those won't be shown until they've watched the groups' older songs so they can see them grow musically!)

Also, none of us are PROFESSIONAL musicians.

Also please do not complain about any "boring" reactions...some of the musicians have blank faces since they are concentrating so deeply on analyzing the music.

Fiction is one of the best kpop song in my opinion. To be honest.

this is undoubtedly

To be honest.

Fiction is one of the best song that ever been made in kpop, you can fight me with this. and Beast is legend group that produce quality songs. fight me again with this..lol.. can't wait with 12:30 and Goodluck, ribbon and Butterfly..those songs has the best instruments.

[@candycanenee]

yong palli if you're a kpop song that stayed in the chart for almost 10 weeks straight, won 2 daesang, and the triple crown waaaaay back when groups and fandoms are actually really competitive with each others...then they really should fight you. include me there too, I'll fight them with you.

[@jazzgb9469]

Agreed

[@yongpalli]

chaichai lee ikr, it is a legend song, it gives them so much recognition and lifted up the glory days of Beast.

this really makes me miss B2ST since Fiction was one of my favorite songs :'''')

[@roselightz_3027]

Ninisw33t me, too. Hope they can come back soon T.T

[@Pumpkin0_0]

They already came back, so to speak. Their company is Around Us and they don't have a name yet, but they've been working already. If you follow their V App "Around Us" and their new instagram "ent_aroundus", you'll see their progress. And Junhyung wrote a song with Luna for their return called "Tell Me It's Okay" that really hits you in the feels. The song is already out in Korea and got in the top charts.

[@roselightz_3027]

I know about their company and all...I just want them back soon^^

[@weilynnchan]

MeiLiRose _ yes they will comeback real soon because junhyung instagram has just posted one photo with caption of completed. plus jh,dw and gk has changed their hair colours😏

[@p3ngu1n44]

Ki Kwang and Dong Woon are doing a reality show right now and they mentioned a comeback soon!!! I love B2st they are the reason I got into KPOP. Also I can't wait for more B2st reactions.

[@evilregal9]

Beast, Infinite and Shinee have the most amazing harmonies in K-Pop. Member from these 3 groups deliver incredible emotions through their voices. Fiction is such a beautiful song and should be appreciated more. It's personally one of my fav Beast song. :)

[@johnvincentarmada5746]

i actually love how these musicians react to kpop vids based on technicalities of the music and not how "hot" the singers are. They give clear objective comments on the music and MVs. I really don't understand music terminologies but i gotta say that they really know their stuff! Esp. kevin and yunyi. They explained well the music. I've enter the kpop fandom life because of my passion of dancing. And hearing clear comments from them is just sooooo refreshing to hear! So unbiased! And soooo professional! I really respect and admire classical music although it's not my personal style of music but classical music gives off a sorta relaxing vibe that i listen to just to relax or think. So bravo to all the classical musicians out there!! Pls do more kpop vids like this! I won't request a specific group so any will do. I'm here for you guys giving reactions and comments and not for a specific group! ^_^

[@randomnonsense1000]

The fact you like Kpop and don't listen to Classical proves you don't know much about music and is not a musician at all. REAL musicians listen to Classical/Jazz/Metal and denounce Kpop. There is NOTHING technical about Kpop, it's all basic, boring repetitive crap compared to the three genres I mentioned.

[@johnvincentarmada5746]

The fact that you're actually saying there is "Real" music proves you don't know music itself. For me, music is universal and there is no such thing as "real" and "fake" music. Music is a preference and one shouldn't dictate what music to listen for them to be a "Real" musician or to hear "Real" music cause there is no such thing as "Real" music.

[@DaniTalks]

I casually watch a lot of"____" react to Kpop channels and this series is definitely my favourite. I have no requests, you just keep doing you. I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy the originality of giving a musicians' perspective to the already overly-saturated field of reaction videos. It's an absolute breath of fresh air. I've been a big-time fan of some idol groups for a while, but very much in a "magpie attracted to shiny and bright things" sort of way. As a foreigner living in Korea (and often surrounded by colleagues that are pretty fed up with the more popular and overplayed Kpop singles), it makes me so happy to watch classically trained musicians give their insight into the composition and music and generally come out with positive reviews and comments. A small part of me feels so gratified and validated. "Take that, haters! Kpop is generic and basic. Poops to you!" I'm a big fan of this series and I hope you can continue to grow it and grow with it.

[@ReacttotheK]

Thank you so much. I really really appreciate it! comments like this really helps me keep tings going, so thank you :) -Umu

[@gisels.5769]

Same!!

[@kascalyeuh1825]

This channel is my favorite too. That's why I'm subscribing to this channel. Their reaction is so natural and they started to appreciate kpop. Just so you know, they did the "laugh to kpop" at first. Just go and see when they're reacting to bigbang's fantastic baby. And i really need them to react to bigbang's latest songs. I wanna see how they would react to bigbang right now.

[@spress15]

Yes, agree agree agree with what everyone above me said!

[@moreshige]

@Stealthy Dani...As a Korean-American I don't mind if non-Korean k-pop fans are into just idol groups but it annoys me to no end that they seem to think idol groups are all there is to Kpop or even Korean music in general. I hope people are aware that quite often that native Korean tastes in Kpop are very different from foreign fans. Why? 1. Unlike foreign fans (but not their fault) Koreans (even young Koreans) know kpop and Korean music BEFORE 1995. 2. In general, Kpop today is considered "young people's" music so it caters to a smaller demographic in Korea but at the same time a larger demographic outside Korea 3. There are many more styles in Korean music like trot music, traditional music, rock styles of the 70s , the ballads of the 80's etc and of course jazz and indie kmusic. Personally,I think Koreans like ballads and singer song writers as much as or more than idol groups. That's the feeling I get from living in Korea.

[@tiasm919]

yeah i love it when kevin and yunyi talk about that music thingy,i dont understand even a bit of what they were saying but it surely does entertain me :)

[@binhwan.junhwan.2412]

“Their harmonies are so good” “each of the members have unique voice” Yess yess, that’s why i really like their music ❤️❤️

[@litozulueta6013]

"I love their vocals!" "I love their harmonies!" "Each member has unique voice! " Beast now Highlight is the best-sounding Kpop act as far as vocals are concerned. Their vocals are always smashing!

[@redlady4]

Everybody knows Fiction is damn near a perfect song. Also, I completely forgot they have an orchestra version until someone mentioned how it would sound good with instrumentals. Hope you play that for everyone.

[@Picobeat]

loved the geeking xD i understand 0% but its nice to see them excited and dissecting the music as they do :)

yeah!!! thats must be a thing, they geeking over the song xD i wont get it still love it

GREAT JOB WITH THIS SERIES AND KEEP IT UP AH ITS FAB

[@___cloudyskies]

Oh man I have tons to say. Okay. Uh.. 1.) I find it really sweet when Lindsey said Yoseob had a cute nose. In their early years, Yoseob's openly said how insecure he was with his nose and as a Yoseob fan, that statement just made me happy. 2.) I love how Kevin and Yunyi doesn't trust K-MVs using pianos *flashbacks of BTOB's Insane flashes in the background* 3.) Also I'm sure you've heard Insane already (cause the playlist and all that). Great choice. Kinda reminds me of Fiction when it comes to the use of strings. 4.) Man. 195 videos to watch, react to, and edit. I'll cheer you on! (And I'm happy to see Pentagon, BTOB, and more Beast in your playlist ahhh ;___; can't wait for those vids) 5.) Fiona! There's actually an orchestral version of Fiction...which I guess isn't really much different since it's the same one used in the beginning and ending of the MV. Still, it's a great song to listen to. As always, love the geeking out and all the new things I'm learning about music and just to sum it up, I'm really happy how everyone enjoyed this song. Thank you for the hard work!

[@glassbox625]

All these talks about being a vocal group and all I could think of was DBSK when they were five. I hope you can make them react to DBSK's ballad songs/harmonization (eg. Love in the Ice, Bolero) and compare it to their upbeat tracks (eg. Mirotic, Rising Sun)

[@davidpark372]

Excellent, intellectually entertaining reaction. I love your classical musicians series thoroughly. Just one thing though. At the end of the video, I was happy to see Day6 included in the future slate. But didn't see "Congratulations" in the slate! Their later songs of "Letting Go" and "I Wait" are sequels to the tribulations of their debut song "Congratulation." So how could you not have your classical musicians react to Day6's later songs without having them react to "Congratualtions" beforehand? I was confused. So please have them react to "Congratulations" first. Besides this song "Congratulations" in and of itself was the heartthrob that enamored the fans.

[@jiadomingo]

DAVID PARK i agree, tho i think i'd prefer it more if they react to congratulations along with 예뻤어 (you were beautiful) since it's like the sequel of congratulations mv 🙂

[@reallythinredglasses9386]

I love Beast, and this is my favourite song. The raps kill me with the rhythm and beat like Junhyung has this amazing way to match his words to the music and it just hits so hard. It gets me sad pumped. SAD PUMPED.

[@miameemee_393]

oh my god this song bring so much memories and im not even beast fan, just back then even tho you are not a fan of a certain group the song will stick to your head

[@oopip1]

thank you so much~~~~ for Beast's reaction

[@decryptedmind5]

i would like to thank you guys for including this on your list of reaction videos.. hearing/watching how you react to BEAST song and mv really makes me happy.. you're right when you say they really can convey the message of the song without you even understanding it.. us fans loved them for that.. their voices really touches the heart of whoever listens to them.. I'm also happy to see people who are not really into kpop gives their point of view on this song..

[@heejinsspider3569]

this channel deserves more recognition !!! once again, I'm loving the reaction 😍 keep up the good work ❤

[@spress15]

I agree! We could help by telling others and using our social networks to spread the word / links. 😍

[@Yun-gs6kv]

[@kiki--505]

[@b2utyella]

it just makes me beast sooo much!!! they are so trully talented

[@RUNYULTR]

Yaaay You don't know how long I have been waiting for this to upload

[@irenesgambit5593]

OMG I LOVE HOW TECHNICAL AND EMOTIONAL THEIR REACTIONS ARE ✨✨✨ AND WHILE WE'RE IN THE TOPIC OF VOCAL ASSESSMENT, CAN YOU ADD BTOB'S REMEMBER THAT AND I'LL BE YOUR MAN IN THE FUTURE REACTIONS LIST???? I MEAN, BTOB'S THE NEAREST I COULD THINK OF IN TERMS OF VOCAL PERFECTION SAME AS MAMAMOO AND SEEING HOW BIG MAMAMOO FANS THEY ARE I FIGURED THEY WOULD ALSO LOVE BTOB. TYYYYYY

[@melodylightsahgasestarlight]

jinson x momo vip Umu has included BTOB in the list. I think she has included I'll Be Your Man and Insane. Not sure on Insane...haha. I forgot which one she has with I'll Be Your Man. I was actually hoping for the dance version of It's Okay. But I was happy enough to see them on the list so ANY song will do. All their songs are great anyway. 😻

[@sparklefreeze87]

Necropolis Seraph It's Okay is the btob classic imo.

[@irenesgambit5593]

sparklefreeze OH HOW CAN I FORGET THAT 😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥 I LOVE SEE-THROUGH SHIRT HYUNSIK ERA

[@melodylightsahgasestarlight]

Okay, so I checked Umu's playlist and it is indeed Insane she has lined up with I'll Be Your Man. But we'll have to wait because it's gonna be a looooong wait as it is way down the list.

[@irenesgambit5593]

Necropolis Seraph lmao I checked it out too just to be sure 😂😂😂 but Insane is quite good too and quite old maybe that's why she paired it with their most recent release

[@intanayunugraheni7734]

Love this song so much.. Even more after watching your reaction.. Thank you so much

[@xiibu]

I love this series! And the editing for this episode was my favorite so far! Yunyi and Hugo at the drop made me laugh so hard haha Thank you for continuing this series, it's a nice breath of fresh air from the "regular" reaction videos around youtube!

[@starrybook4386]

thanks for reacting to b2st! this was so nostalgic (': some older girl groups you could maybe consider reacting to are beg - 'kill bill' and 'brave new world' and kara - 'step' or 'mister' and 'mamma mia' always looking forward to your next video, I don't I've ever loved a react series as much I loved this one! you guys are golden!!

[@sparklefreeze87]

starrybook true, BEG was first a vocal group too. Midsummer's Night Dream & you cannot not do Abracadabra. Kara's Lupin is grade A+ too.

[@maianle4766]

beast good luck or ribbon have amazing violin and piano souds.. it's just like they love using those souds in their beat...

[@PlUGGEIN]

Enjoyed the video; you guys are a perfect mix of intelligence and hilarity! Beast needs to see this video man.

[@Bufordstrailer]

The last part was so cool to watch. I hope you guys do more "geeking out" stuff at the end!

[@Gwindolyn-je4wq]

"I wish I had those kind of ankles." "Shout out to kneecaps." I'm fuckin dead right now! lol

[@tammiehoang4073]

thanks for showing them fiction and breath! hopefully you'll be able to show ribbon as well since its an extremely beautiful song!

[@ieljay]

fiction is one of my beast favorites and i've never appreciated it this much like how you guys treated it like it's a precious gem in kpop thanks for reminding me of my love for this song also continue being honest in your reactions i love it when i hear you guys say if you really liked it or it's just meh or anything keep it real

[@autumniero4679]

My favorite kpop reactions!! I love how they kinda geek out and express their passion for music as they watch and analyze the music they're hearing vs analyzing the video they're seeing. It's awesome!!
