I didn’t realize you have tidied up the whole schedule document, definitely easier for us to read thru and proceed to wait patiently for the next reactions (still a thrilling experience every single time)

[@malsnakamoto]

Reacttothek reminding us that WayV exists when SM has forgotten

[@ReacttotheK]

Because we can’t react to songs super quickly w how long our production/editing process is (+ recovering from starting this channel in 2016 reacting to music from 2012), I have embraced our role as like…the hype man for groups not promoting/on hiatus. Like…”fans are missing their favs rn SO WE’LL RELEASE A REACTION TO FEED THEM FOR A LITTLE BIT 🥰” lol (But S6 we’ll attempt to get to things faster)

[@hoimoitoigoi]

I personally don't mind the wait, it's like an extended promotion period 😁

Wayv is the most magical unit of NCT. Their songs have a whole different feeling.

[@jasminehso4572]

Their b sides are Underrated too

[@fluffycherry025]

I agree so much !! And their b-sides are hidden gems !!

[@draliaa1able]

"Whenever it comes to SM, it's always bridge. I don't know why." Same, Ju Young!!! Their bridge always hit hard.

[@isabelblacutt]

This is one of my favorite songs and I cannot believe I never noticed the first chorus is ascending and the second is descending and turns minor. Literally mind blown at the small little details one misses even after this song is a year old and I've been replaying obsessively. Thanks for the input hehe

[@sarahmaulidiah]

Agree!

[@wiggIytuffs]

honestly i'm so happy that the reactors seemed to really enjoy the song because weishennies always say it's the worst comeback song and their least favorite on the whole album but i fucking LOVE KICK BACK and i will defend it to grave!! the pre-chorus and the bridge are some of my favorites in all of wayv's entire discography. kick back is absolutely immaculate and this is the hill i will die on!

[@shaziiekay1688]

I'll die with you bestie!✊🏾

[@neo.aenergy]

Ngl I didn't really like kick back when it was released (should've appreciated her sooner) but the whole comeback energy felt so off... anyway, I've come to really like but I still think it doesn't live up to tbt for me.

[@wiggIytuffs]

@@neo.aenergy coming from someone that's never been to nationals? okay 🙄 lmao i'm just joking 😭 but i totally see what you mean. kick back def ain't my favorite comeback because i agree that the chorus drags it down. for me the reason why kick back may feel lacking for ppl is because when it's compared to their other title tracks is because wayv's other titles are always SO STRONG and from beginning to end it's a total fucking banger!!! take off? ate. moonwalk? ate. turn back time? ATE. kick back? controversial like pineapple on pizza (i'm on team pineapple)

[@iicrazyii7575]

@@wiggIytuffsyeah the chorus feels a bit repetitive but the second part of the chorus is so good

[@mjrocks421]

I was so used to seeing Sam/Raffi and Ju Young/Jason paired together in past reaction videos that I immediately noticed the difference while watching 😂 love the mix in pairings, we get to see unique interactions!

[@yayeperral6283]

Noticed this too! lol

[@eunhae_kino]

Yeah Umu had some other reactions with Raffi/Jason and Juyoung/Sam as well but not sure if she ever explained why. My guess is they had conflicted schedules.

[@Lyf4rMusic]

Ikr ! I noticed it immediately since I love the original pairings of J&J and S&R :)

[@erica8863]

That rewind outro was nasty. Just a really satisfying song overall. Very distinctive instrumentals with some beautiful vocal lines. Edit: Liam confirmed channel's strongest reactor. Who's challenging him for the title?

[@prettygreengrass]

wayv's hiatus or however you wanna call this hit me so hard bc it was literally my first reaction to wayv and my first time discovering them and then bum, sm said let's just split the members btw korea and china and don't relase any song or content with all of them for a year :D (i know there's "miracle", which i LOVE IT btw, but it was ot5 so i don't count it). so yeah, thank you sooo much, i really appreciate it😭

[@bozoli26]

"They're dancing all the time, but there's no beat" 😂 (follows: dance break)

[@yawnsohn]

WayV always delivers quality music and impeccable mvs, they deserved much more recognition. I can't wait to see my seven boys together again.

[@utep3882]

for real, it has been a year and a half since WAYV's last release and it seems only few notices that and that makes me sad. Thank you reacttothek for reminding me that wayv still exists

[@cinnomix]

ikr it's literally crazy how much time has flown by, and it makes me sad too. SM may have incredible production, artists, and overall talented people, but they are one of the worst at managing their idols :(

[@utep3882]

@@cinnomix no, let me correct you right there. SM manages groups which they prioritize more, it shows favoritism. Wayv on the other hand, receives little to no attention. Mainly, they are Chinese nationals, SM has a history in mismanaging Chinese idols; Kris, Tao, Luhan, SuJu's chinese members, f(x)'s victoria, etc. They prioritize Dream and 127 more because, obviously, they are indeed Koreans.

[@cinnomix]

@@utep3882 exactly, that still proves my point tho. and i was talking mainly in the sense of the lucas scandal because he's the reason they've been on hiatus for so long. SM has never been good at protecting their artists and especially with scandals. but even the artists SM favors they still don't always treat the best (just look up compilations of nct dream and 127). i was saying managing in general, not just giving comebacks. but yes, it's true they're biased against their chinese artists and always have been

[@zkdlaidarl2319]

I miss WayV and this channel is willing to fill the empty part for me. Thank you so much for the WayV appreciation. AND YES TAEMIN'S ADVICE NEXT!!!

[@GrayLifeZone]

I was here for the music critics until 12:20 ... "The realm can be a state of mind" wait a freaking minute.. he knows zero of nct and wayv world but he actually just pointed out a huge thing. Nct are in dream lab which is something to do with the mind and dreams, so what he said just made the whole song makes much more sense now aligned with WAVy and NCT worlds....

[@minjules382]

First of all, thanks for the Way V appreciation ❤️ Second, I know nothing about music, cords, tempo, etc, but still, I love to watch your reactions ❤️

[@JazzIsAwesomeMG]

WayV is a perfect blend of 127's hip hop vibes and Exo's r&b vocal riffs

[@jopenguin5]

WayV is my fav group, thanks for covering more of their music!

[@manjughosh9425]

WayV is epitome of great music

[@isabelblacutt]

THANK YOUUU SM IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG TO HEAR YALLS OPINIONS ON THIS MASTERPIECE

[@sofiau3252]

A reacttothek upload day is always a great day!! I’m so happy to see another wayv reaction!

[@gabrielaamaral1120]

WayV is the best subunit of NCT. They have the best b sides too

[@Damonistique]

My favourite WayV title track 😭so much to enfold. I really admire your knowledge and attention to details, this reaction made me notice new things in this lush song. Thank you. P.S. Advice!!! So happy now.

[@winterhues]

i was mindblown when sam pointed out the first prechorus was major and the second was minor, i found it really cool when you guys discovered little details that someone like me who doesn't have a music background missed it. it makes me appreciate the song a lot more!

[@micaelacid5280]

WayV are so talented, and their music is such a piece of art! I love them, they're my favorite group in the world! Thank u!!!

[@gabi.loey5979]

My fav wayv song! Omg it's so good, I always have goosebumps. Ten and Xiaojun slay my soul

[@thaigei3538]

I am absolutely thrilled you guys did the song and enjoyed it so many people have so much stuff to say but they just don’t understand how much of an actual masterpiece kickback is. Our for everything wavy is the best unit in NCT.

[@bobthebuilderday6leader]

This reaction video is so entertaining?! Somehow everyone’s reactions this video are particularly hilarious??? Or is it just me? (Note: Videos are consistently educational, which is what keeps me coming back.) (Edit: Thank you, Colton, I appreciate your editing!) Moments for me to rewind and laugh/giggle at: 0:54 Umu forgetting Turn Back Time and the cutest reaction by Sam and Ju Young 2:01 Kevin’s Chinese lesson 1 2:56 Rachel and Liam agreeing that hemiolas are superior 3:48 Kevin is attacked by phat nasty bass 4:24 Owen trusts Kevin 4:40 Sam contemplating sanity 5:06 Jory commenting on beat-less dancing 5:12 Jason groaning about half-time as he should and Raffi serving face 5:39 Sam and his beautiful cacti (favourite moment) 7:44 Will commenting about modal mixture and Jory’s expression 7:48 Sam’s beanie problems and him swearing on his life (highlights are rip Sam, Ju Young dying, and Umu mentioning cacti instead) 8:19 Sam’s not crazy!!! 8:40 This whole sequence of Sam’s hair and Ju Young being helpful (I’m not sure why I enjoyed this so much) 10:01 Jason doesn’t know and he doesn’t care and he’s stupid (Raffi wanting music to be more ambiguous too!) 10:38 Jason figured it out and wants to cut the previous section (No, this whole part was precious) 10:42 Raffi and his amazing theory (Jason agrees, Raffi shrieks, Jason applauds and Raffi lifts hand) 12:00 Kevin’s Chinese lesson 2 14:15 The Strong Boi section is everything

OMG! Thank you, guys! Wayv's missing hour is on! 😭

[@lovereadandlife6127]

I literally?? Rewatched the Turn Back Time reaction?? A few hours ago?? And Kevin literally mentioned they reacted to Kick Back and I was like "Huh, I don't remember that happening" THE TIMING

i love kick back but action figure will always be my fave song from wayv

[@moomoomachines7193]

I'm SO GLAD, you're finally reacting to Taemin's Advice. That's like the 1 song that I listened to and really sought out classical input for.

OMG THE CACTUS APPRECIATION AND FROM ARIZONA PART CRACKED ME HARD 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@dear_hanaa1982]

Yesss wayv appreciation 💚💚

[@GirlofGlamour89]

This song is on my workout playlist so I have been able to really appreciate it more over time. It’s a really great song. People have so many “requirements” for a title track that I just people don’t realize SM will never make the song you THINK should be a title, a title track lol. Musically, the production on this is top tier.

Really love all the WayV discography, and glad that you release the reaction at this time when we really miss WayV. Great to see comments and excitements from all the musicians here, y'all really made me notice so much detail about this song that i havent figured out. It would be the whole new experience when I listen to this song again. Thanks!

I've been listening to this song since release and never knew the prechoruses were different keys MY MIND IS BLOWN

[@citraputri4501]

WayV is the besttt

[@Milie026]

I love your channel so much, I've been a subscriber for years and I think it's probably the best kpop channel when it comes to reaction and the actual music for sure! I don't know much about music, so the way I react to it is entirely "naïve" and emotional, and that's fine, music is meant to move you and make you feel things too, but I love being able to understand more of what's going on on a more technical level! And it's always easy to understand, even for someone who doesn't know much, I feel like I've learned a lot thanks to you! And I know I can watch pretty much all of your videos and get something out of it, because either you're doing a song I love, and it's cool to get that technical analysis and to then like it even more, or you're talking about a song I didn't like or, in this case, I don't have strong feelings about, and you make me appreciate it more! I've actually completely changed my mind about a song based on one of your videos on several occasions! And everone is super fun to listen to, there's always a lot of respect even when people don't like the songs, it's always well-made and informative, but still entertaining. So yeah, keep up the good work! :)

[@Empyrean.127]

Kick Back reminds me of EXO’s El Dorado. I think it’s that minor-major interplay. Both songs almost sound mystical… in a sense. Kick Back is tied with Moonwalk as my favorite/best WayV title track. Turn Back Time is second since it’s so aggressive the entire time lol Also SM please free all of WayV, thank you ‼️‼️‼️

[@mariomendoza8097]

Wooo been waiting for this one since i saw it on the list last year. Probably my favorite way v track. Really enjoying whats makes this song so good

[@gamezjulieta]

I am such a K-pop fan but I have no knowledge in the musical field. I played guitar in the seventh grade because it was a requirement, that’s about it lol. However, I really, really enjoy watching your reactions because of the passion you guys have for the art. I love seeing when people “geek” out about the things they love and you guys clearly have a passion for music. After watching the reactions I am able to distinguish what you guys hear, and I think that is so cool. I’m looking forward to the future reactions. Also Stan NCT/WayV 💚🫰🏽

12:25 Daaamn i can't agree more with ju young. SM bridge is always be iconic and unexpected that sometimes doesn't makes sense it can go well with other part of the song, but it's always be that good! 😭🤌 One of the most iconic and memorable bridge is NCT is like Hello Future's bridge in NCT Dream 😩☝
