Dean - Instagram - UK K-Pop Fans Reaction

[@sunshineonmymind7055]

Dean is a phenomenal artist that was EVERYWHERE during 2016-2019, especially after this song came out. He was probably one of the biggest k-r&b artists at the time, especially in international spaces, but in 2020 he kind of just disappeared. I imagine that's why y'all haven't heard of him before now, he did release a single last year and he's apparently featuring on BIBI's upcoming song but other than that he's just not around. Some say he cracked under the pressure of his debut album being so successful because he only ever released singles after that, but who knows.

OH MY GOD!!! Pls more dean reaction!

[@tea_jayy]

Omg, the R&B prince! "Bonnie and Clyde", "Howlin 404", "dayfly", "D (Half Moon)", and "And July" & "Shut Up and Groove" with Heize!

Dean is like one of those artists who's an idol of idols. like that indie artist you want to keep to yourself lol i think i found out about him because one of my faves was listening to him. i feel like you will only know this song if you're starting to be really deep deep into k-music or discovering krnb

Kwon Hyuk, better known by his stage name Dean, is a South Korean alternative R&B singer-songwriter, rapper and record producer, he is called Asia's Prince of R&B. His stage name comes from the American actor James Dean, who is a huge influence. He describes his music in 3 words: Raw, rebellious and roots. Dean developed an interest in American hip hop and rap in middle school, and began singing in high school. At that time, he considered music as an "escape from studying," rather than an occupation. He began writing songs in his room, which he initially kept hidden from his parents. At the age of twenty, he was under the tutelage of Joombas Music Group CEO and producer Hyuk Shin, employed with the songwriting team of the Los Angeles-based company whose works include EXO's "Growl" and Justin Bieber's "One Less Lonely Girl". He was credited on tracks including Exo's "Black Pearl" and VIXX's "Voodoo Doll." Dean debuted in the United States in July 2015 with the single "I'm Not Sorry" featuring Grammy winner Eric Bellinger. He debuted in Korea the same year with his second single "Pour Up" featuring Block B's Zico. nominated for Best R&B and Soul Song at the Korea Music Awards on February 29, 2016. He doesn't have bad songs and he's even better live! I highly recommend: Dean - D (Half Moon) ft. Gaeko Dean and Heize - And July (Feat. DJ Friz) MV DEAN - I'm Not Sorry (ft. Eric Bellinger) Lyric Video DEAN - (Pour Up) (ft. Zico) Music Video Dean - What 2 Do ft. Crush, Jeff Bernat (Official Video DEAN - Sometimes I hear Howlin' in my head DEAN - Put My Hands On You (ft. Anderson .Paak) Music Video DEAN - love | A COLORS SHOW DEAN - DIE 4 YOU (ZICO) - BERMUDA TRIANGLE (Feat. Crush, DEAN) (ENG SUB) MV (Heize) - Shut Up & Groove (Feat. DEAN) MV Dean - Bonnie & Clyde (DEAN) - 21 (DEAN) 'Like A Star' LIVE / 170222

Dean is a classic even though he hasn't released much and we're all waiting for his next album

[@xuaniscrazy]

OMG DEAN! NEVER EXPECTED THAT BUT I WOULD LOVE MORE REACTION OF HIM!

[@xapokalypse]

OMG FINALLY I'm so glad you're reacting to Dean. Also, nice Community reference

[@em8588]

YESS more Dean please!! "Bonnie and Clyde", "DIE 4 YOU" "Pour up" and "Howlin 404" are great songs!!

[@jirv500]

His Daniel-Day Lewisness is due to his ability to inhabit different characters and musical styles but also relates to the fact that he doesn't release that many songs, but when he does it's an event. He's also like Day-Lewis a bit of a recluse, you barely ever hear from him on social media.

[@byrissa]

The discord community is coming through with this request

[@skyandcloud97]

This is my forever fav song 😭😭😭😭

[@eliskaprouzova2215]

You should check out Bermuda triangle by Zico ft. Dean and Crush

[@tea_jayy]

Don't letta letta me get in my zone!!!!

[@ClaudiaMach-ol2dl]

I love Korean RnB. And Dean is one of the RnB royality in Korea. He also was a member of the group called Fanxy Child alongside with Zico From (Block B), Millic, Crush (another RnB exellence) and Penomeco. Maybe I would also recommend to listen to Rad Museum, Tabber and Sion. So many great voices out there!

"I'm drowning in a square ocean" We are all drowning in these screens. they take up everything now, they're everywhere, they're inescapable and pervasive, they tell us what to think, how to feel, what to want and desire and what to believe and it's unbearable. Nothing feels like it matters anymore; what's the point of watching another movie or going to a club again? It all feels so shallow. He relates these feelings so well in his lyrics. Dean is one of my favorite artists, Kpop or not. He is known as "the prince of r&b." He's your idol's idol. He's very reclusive now and honestly he's made it pretty clear why through his lyrics. He actually doesn't have many cohesive bodies of work, he's done a lot of features and singles. Some people speculate it's because the success of his first album was too pressuring, we don't know for sure. So many recommendations people give will probably be featuring on other people's songs. I also recommend: - Sometimes I hear Howling in my Head - Bonnie and Clyde - And July by Heize ft Dean - Love by DEAN ft Syd to name a few; Dean is an incredible artist :)

I wasn't expecting a reaction to Dean 😊 thanks for your reaction❤

[@majjiefull9030]

I love Dean, and so do many Kpop artists, literally name any group and there is probably a clip of them singing one of his songs

[@alunarity]

YESSS the low-profile anthem

[@fairylixx]

To me this song is basically describing depression lmao

[@fairylixx]

It's obviously more complex than that but yeah he feels disconnected from everyone else

[@christinab1288]

Great choice!!! I don't think there would be anything of his you would dislike. Colabs included

[@sarahkhairi326]

He’s amazing I think Instagram is such a relatable song for so many and I forgot what the word is but you would think you’re the only one going through this but it’s actually a lot of people who are going through this. I think he is songs are very good I listen to about 6-7 songs that are on my playlist and I love his musical style.
