DEBUTS!! | 8TURN, HAWW, MAVE:, PLAVE, & xikers | REACTION | I am beyond intrigued by all of it!!

[@paette2465]

Plave is EVERYTHING ~~ Their livestream is sooo funnny

[@rjkpop]

I agree!

[@arianacorpuss]

❤ I love plaveee

[@tranghado]

fr tho

[@minminayo]

plave literally ambushed me. i just casually watched their mv and now i’m like knee deep in their livestreams. they’re so talented and hilarious.

[@crunchypaully6137]

Plave's streams are so fun to watch! Knowing that each members have such impressive vocal, rap, and dance skills, it's more shocking to know that they even produce their songs (including pixel world) and some parts of their choreo too. I will also recommend their covers! Those are pretty short but it really shows off how talented they are.

[@NihilLucis]

Xikers are goblin, playing tricks and some time helping humans

[@flaggov6949]

Xikers story & MV: Korean goblins (dokkaebi) are nature spirits/gods that can inhabit objects and have special powers. They can be mischievous and can also be helpful. They're associated with blue flame (Wikipedia), so it may be that the blue flames around the man in some shots are the members in their natural form. My take: while it appears the goblins are being mischievous, I believe they're being mischievous in a helpful way. The man is working so late that no one is left on the subway by the time he leaves work. He looks stuck in the daily grind of life. I think exposing him to music, the arcade, dancing, and the carnival is their attempt to help him remember what it feels to enjoy life again. At the end of the bridge, they say "tell me what you want. Tell me what you need." and a car appears. I think they gave him what they sensed he wanted. The man smiles ear to ear as he drifts around the parking lot. Minjae's last words are "don't forget." This could have double meaning: 1) "Don't forget" it's our time now (we've debuted). 2) "Don't forget" to have fun and enjoy your life (within the context of the MV). I think they left because they had accomplished their mission. Apparently, goblins are known to inhabit household items like tools and brooms. I think the ten brooms at the end are proof he hadn't been dreaming. He had actually encountered 10 goblins. They may be using the term Tricky instead of goblin because international fans can have different ideas of what a goblin is (like Lord of the Rings). Tricky gives the general idea.

[@Iwaek]

I love PLAVE, I kept seeing them on tiktok and got curious, haven't stopped listening to their 2 songs since then. I NEED MORE music from them because they have such nice voices

[@icjacks2348]

Omg Plave’s ‘wait for you” has been on repeat! I think they r actually performing and moving with the avatars, no? So it is actually them doing the work just also using avatars instead of showing themselves. I’ve been watching their lives n they r hilarious! Please someone put the translations on the rest of their lives 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@sunoo_cheeks]

Sí, eso es lo que hacen los VTUBERS, usan un traje y pueden hace cualquier movimiento con eso en tiempo real

[@nuiverse]

Yeah! They're like a virtual kpop group that have actual people behind the 3d avatars (if you know about vtubers then you know) unlike MAVE which is leaning heavily on the AI side.

[@km__xyz]

their song is so my type ah i'm going crazy

[@ai-tn5wd]

i hope plave makes it big fr ; u ;

[@printxnier]

wait for you is really gooddddd

[@michieeYT]

Plave is definitely up my ally since I enjoy watching Vtubers (liver streamers with an animated avatar) Their vocals are amazing and they are good a dancing and I had so much fun watching their livestreams. Also their debut song was literally a breath of fresh air😭😭.

[@RazeMax]

Not sure about MAVE, but PLAVE is basically like a vtuber group. Most vtuber from famous companies need to go through an audition process and i guess in this case it's just an idol audition with vtubing elements.

[@joassaintestime1718]

Xikers are insane❤️🔥

[@공주를지켜]

Thank you for watching PLAVE ♥

[@KiiReacts]

Xikers definitely learned a lot from Ateez they already starting their demon line 😂

xikers Yechan is definitely a great rapper. He was on Under Nineteen, a boy group creation show, when he was 12 or 13 and I believe ranked 15/57 despite his age. So he's been rapping for a while.

[@felicia05]

i LOVEEEE plave they r SOOOO funny and talented. also to explain a bit more, they are using body tracking suits!

[@kwazydaisy]

i am stanning them so hard right now.. they are so good.

[@aesthetic2421]

@@kwazydaisy Same I'm obsessed with them! I need all their livestreams in English so badly 😩

[@kwazydaisy]

@@aesthetic2421 i feel you.. i just wish that there would be someone who will translate all their livestreams.. i hope their company provides the eng sub after their live for our benefit. i think they are more popular to the international fans.. honestly, I am obsessed with their voices.. and I wonder if we will be able to actually know who they really are. but there is charm in not knowing who they are as well. it keeps us wondering and it really tickles our interests even more. i have been listening to their songs nonstop.

[@aesthetic2421]

@@kwazydaisy They've been providing English subtitles for most of their videos which is great but I would love their entire livestreams to also be subtitled! And yes, I prefer they don't reveal who they actually are so they may have privacy compared to other idols. That's my opinion at least.

[@kwazydaisy]

@@aesthetic2421 exactly. their privacy is intact unlike that of other idols. which is better.. i just wish that more and more people support them because they deserve to get recognised. they have only released two songs yet they are both good and their voices are amazing. i hope they will be the first one to break the barrier for other artists who are as talented as they are.

[@lilouette]

Plave are definitely like. Real people with like full on motion capture tracking. Its honestly SO cool. Vtubers sometimes do that too but like the level of which Plave is…like their company got BUDGET lolol

[@fightmebtch]

So real on the budget, but also because Vlast, their company, is not an idol company but a tech company. That's why they hired members who can handle the music and choreo part. We even joke that Yejun is a partner of William (CEO) cause he gathered all the members basically.

[@TheCutestChris18]

All these debut's were amazing this year so far and many more to come. I was fortunate enough to be around 8turn pre debut and xikers formerly KQFellas. Both their albums are very solid, especially xikers! It is rare for me to be able to listen to and enjoy an album from start to finish. All songs were bangers 10/10. You may notice it kind of gives off Ateez energy because Hongjoon produced and wrote their album. Mave really shocked me as well and had low expectations when I found out they were a virtual group the dancing quality impressed me the most and the song was really catchy after a few listens.

[@SSsz1214]

PLAVE - do eunho (white hair) he is very talented. he can rap and can sing and so funny. his cover "she's a baby by zico" is amazing! ps . i'm plave fan thank you for react!

[@PupArentYouBusy7_7]

I love Plave they're so good yet underrated

[@y8nsilverw202]

The way I expected plave to come out with another electronic experimental sound but they actually come out with a sentimental song with nice melodies, vocal, and band instrument. I immediately loving the music! It’s so welcoming to their world and it’s a perfect debut. I always prefer a meaningful debut song it makes a good memory later.

[@lime1452]

Thank you for reacting to Plave their songs are just my style I really love them 💙💜💗❤️🖤

[@ceIine]

PLAVE are amazing, I love their vocal tones 🥲 you should check out their other song Pixel World

[@househusband9779]

im actually commenting before watching for PLAVE. There are tiktok translations of their lives and they are so funny. Found them before they debuted and happy for them to get engagements. They are talented singing on livestreams.

[@Fruitroll]

I love PLAVE smmmmmmmmmm. They are so funny. You should listen so their b-side “pixel world”

[@rjkpop]

I have! I like it a lot!!

The Korean Title of Tricky House translates to "Goblin House" lol they're goblins!

i love xikers they’re my babies and so talented ❤ even live they’re insane ofc following their big brothers and i love how hongjoong took part in this whole album 😭😭 loved your reaction also i will b adding tht mave song to my playlist it sounds so good

[@enaldia]

XIKERS!!! they are goblins, in korean lore, the blue flames are goblin fire and the spirits frequently inhabit household objects (like brooms). the ending feels like the aftermath of one wild fever dream/trip. you liked yechan (red hair) the rapper, and also hunter their main dancer

[@Maxiccaa]

8TURN and Xikers are amazing debuts🔥🔥

[@Elin_05]

Thank you for reacting to Plave. They are so talented they need more recognition 😭😭💕

[@wolfnoire]

Hunter is amazing but tallest member is Seeun! That said all 10 boys are amazing!

[@wonderminki]

xikers really is a bop! 🔥💗 A debut song that feels like more a comeback coz they really got the best mv for a debut song as well as the most 🔥 song. Thank you for reacting to xikers! ❤

I listened to HAWW's album and it's awesome. I found out that one member is Rocky from Astro's little brother. Rocky joined them on Music Bank for a performance. As an Aroha, I am loving this.

for mave, essentially they’re recorded in full body gear performing and using cameras and what not their bodies are tracked and transformed into the ai visuals

[@ot7biasedmashups]

We had so many great debuts lately!!! It's so amazing to see Xikers finally step into the light. 8TURN are also insaneeeee Although I do have to say, it's a shame that MAVE: is so unoriginal. I had hoped for them to do crazy stuff since it's animated and you have no limitations at all. But they decided to go the save route (+ literally have a song that sounds exactly like K/DA).

[@Schneefeuer09]

I am SO glad you liked xikers (and yes you said it right :D) - i am also hooked for them since they announced the first members a year ago. I think the one you pointed out (Yechan was mentioned in the comments already) ist Hunter; he is insanley good at dancing but comming from KQ we shouldnt act surprised that these boys are performance monsters! :D I really dont feel like they debuted a few days/weeks ago~ and i feel the same insane energy around them like i feel around ateez (and i looked into their content, as a proud atiny i can say that xikers are totally adorable and SO likable~) - i really hope you give them a closer look ♥

i was never really in with the virtual groups cause there are so many trainees and real people that deserve that chance, but PLAVE's song is so good LOL i've been listening to it nonstop one concept that i find interesting though is "SUPERKIND" they're a 7-member group but only have 2 virtual members, so it was really cool to see the music videos

PLAVE I am a Korean K-pop virtual live-action idol. I write, compose, produce, and actually perform on stage. It is said that the video will be played at the actual broadcast site. There is even a stage on MBC Music Core! Maeve has voice actors and was created by AI. Flave moves, dances, and sings. I broadcast on Twitch. On MBC, Flave is called the son of a large company or the son of MBC. Maeve was also created by MBC, but since the broadcast and people are not directly involved, there is no Twitch broadcast and it ends up being uploaded to KZbin.

I subscribed just a few weeks ago and I've watched ALL of your TWICE, XG, ITZY, NewJeans, (G)I-DLE vids, most of your Dreamcatcher vids and a heaping handful of videos about other groups (I'm pretty much solely a GG stan) and I have to say that I think we'd be tight if we met in person, SO OFTEN you have the exact reactions that I have to things, or I'll be thinking something and you'll say it, or you'll say something and my reaction to your reaction is loud and boisterous lol..... I just feel like we are similar people! Maybe thanks to you I'll actually get more into some BGs. Anywho, I've never done patreon but I'll consider supporting you in some way because you've become one of my favorite creators and like I said I completely binge your videos. Hours of RJ happening over here. Keep up the good work!

[@simran12354]

So mave plave superkind have a bit of a different process well i don't know much about mave there were people like humans who dance to show the whole choreo so i don't know if their process is like plave or superkind But basically a 3d model is made and then it has to be rigged but rigging is harder and so they use motion capture suit or green suit etc... which helps detect the movements which is put in the character Now with superkind they have voice actors singers dancers and people that are involved while plave have 5 people who are trained as idols who practice as idols but they have a virtual concept they are more known of having a vtuber concept where they interact with fans like normal people but with their characters as disguise For music shows mave and plave have a show music core ofcourse it's more harder to do but music core animated and replicated the stage and performed that way yeah you can see those stages 😊 For superkind it's harder because it's human and ai so it's more difficult

[@Insert_Name_Here99]

compared to the other MVs, you can really tell HAWW has, like, next to no budget LOL rip to them but they're so sweet and cute, I'm glad they didn't do anything crazy. I personally prefer a refreshing concept lately. Thanks for checking out HAWW (pronounced like "how" in "how are you" btw)
