Director Reacts - SEVENTEEN - 'MAESTRO' MV

[@bungabasyaasya4160]

"is that woozi? THAT'S WOOZII O MA GODD!!" same reaction here sirr🤣

[@s.p.8911]

Added context for maestro mv - Woozi said during a presscon that he dabbled into using AI for making music after the company asked him to and did not like the process himself but it made him think a lot about where seventeen as artists fit as the industry is changing. the concept is extra interesting as this is the title track of their best album - something that celebrates their last 9 years. there are a lot of easter eggs for carats who have been paying attention to it - old track samples, choreo callbacks, mv imagery and the way the lyrics flagposts the song progression is very cleverly done. it's a clear messaging that they will not use AI in their own music, are aware of the changing industry, but will find their own way to grow as artists as they have been over the years.

💯💯👏

I think what’s interesting to add to the conversation is that technology has played a big role in Woozi becoming a producer - he started learning production using Garage Band by borrowing Wonwoo’s laptop. Woozi and Bumzu also sampled 7 of their older songs for Maestro (eg, the piano in the beginning is from Adore U). I think Seventeen is saying hey, no matter what comes, we will adapt and become leaders. We should question our reality and understand what we’re consuming, but also that Seventeen will always be the Maestro’s of their own music.

[@Singingtater24]

"AI is here and AI may be usable, but WE are the ones who make real music. AI could never compete with real humans creating real music. WE are the real maestros. Not AI." This is what I get from the music video and more importantly, the song.

[@singibangibboongbongbanggi]

3:33 but the cameraman actually flying😂 there's in behind the scene mv😂

[@CaratJoy]

I love that Seventeen has brought this conversation out in to the open through their artistry.

[@RachaelColf]

Woozi with long blonde hair is a MASTERPIECE! Just like this song!!!!!

[@keioboysakurai]

One of my fave Seventeen reactors! Thank you for this and looking forward to more Seventeen reactions ❤😊

[@nicolereardon8304]

They are all Maestros, but you are right, I say WOOZI too. The genius of all their songs. Who else could it be?

[@Justatinylove]

1:43 the way you just made me snort laugh out loud and in public with Troozi 😂😂😂😂

[@k-popforlife7316]

It has to do with that no matter what no AI or robots can replace humans when it comes to music

[@rustic_mango]

Seventeen is one of the tops

[@beckysmith1178]

Thank you for sharing this MV with me! I hadn't taken the time to watch it yet! Silly me! I had seen all the dance shorts of the song so I knew that the choreo was fire with all that intricate footwork but like you said this MV is brilliant! So many inferences and creative thoughts about man's creativity vs what man can create through AI. In the end the main creator is still man just with a new single instrument that can cover all instruments both standard classical and automated musical sounds! Which can make a new kind of symphony. But in the end man is still the Maestro! I was wondering though when they had that question in print on the curtain about who is the real maestro and it opened up to a person on the stage and a person in the audience, was that a reference to the fan being the ultimate Maestro controlling what is accepted as valuable vs what is just noise? What is great music to the fans vs what is albums left in the archives to just get dusty? Thanks for your great reaction to this great song by Seventeen!

I took it as svt are artists the allude to the artwork creation of man is now man’s creation of AI. The corporate black swat teams, the greedy or malicious want to use it for negative purpose but svt are fighting that off and use the positive parts of modern tech to enhance what they can create. But they also show that in the space where there were no swat or machines just abandoned old piano - they as artists would still make music. Because they aren’t faking their voices we know that they CAN sing, they can write music, woozi can really play multiple instruments. The car is the same as left & right, there are samples in the song from 7-8 of their songs previously. Mingyu on mix board, vernon using sampler deck, coups is on the play button, the keyboards are skate ramps as you descended and crescendo in music. The giant organ of every instrument like GarageBand and you don’t need any skills to use them or even sing. BUT woozi can do it for real so the suggestion that responsibility comes to those in power that AI is not used to abuse the system. Last year Lauv posted how excited he was to try out a project, explaining that a South Korean singer would sing Lauv song translated and then use AI to change it to his voice. There was a lot of responses. This is NOT what ai should be for. Translate and learn to sing it yourself, it was rude to the native singer and if you want culturally to reach other language speakers do the work - it was not the wow he expected from folks. ❤

[@jujoonline8248]

This is the right answer! Thank you for writing this comment because I didn‘t really know how to put it in the right words!

[@1oldcrow350]

They are telling the world who is afraid that AI is gonna take over music that they are still in control ie having the robot dogs on the leash. They will use it but they are in control. This is their opus so far for me just like Lit was for Lay. The choreo in this is just wowza! And damn Woozi just comin' for us.

[@bellarhyse17]

WOW!!! I really love your reaction to Maestro. I learned a lot.Thank you for reacting to Seventeen. 🫰💕

[@femmefatale6550]

On Vernon's part with the robot dogs and cars, I don't know what it's called but I'm going to call it a beat pad here. Vernon has a beat pad in his hand. There's a big beat pad standing up. Vernon is creating the beat on his and programming cars to run into the buttons to play his creation on a beat pad of a larger scale. In other words, he's the creator of the beats but uses technology (the cars and lg. pad) to play his music to reach a larger worldwide audience. I think that's also represented by the robot dogs which may illustrate the distribution and control over what happens to the music. Robot dogs are now being used to deliver things (food delivery, goods like for Amazon, etc) so they could represent control over the music they create and how the world receives it. At the end you see that Vernon controls all the dogs on leashes! HOW DID I DO ROSCOE?😁

[@patyjesus3448]

Woozi, perfeito demais ❤❤❤❤

[@hopeful-1733]

Agreed! Thanks for the analysis!

[@Varalerici]

You're right, Carats are so well fed! Maestro is the best mv of 2024 imho

[@justme8630]

To me the real maestro seemed like Jeonghan, love his scene, his control over the person without much effort, and his secret smile.....but it also brings the idea of us being controlled by the media, we end up wanting things because they make those things desirable...i dunno...

[@itspribanerjee]

i love your interpretation of this!

[@AnekinSky]

I got the vibe that it was about the increasing use of ai in art these days and svt are saying that, yes ai can do great things but it will never be better than the music they could make

[@moonchildz]

i love this reaction!!!!! ❤

@@marianbri okay thank you

[@darahandoko2698]

can you react seventeen spell lyrics and performance? because that's so hottt

[@ideagirl]

Who is the real Maestro? I think you will be surprised. It has to do with forward thinking. The real Maestro is.....drum roll....HYBE. In February of 2022, Hybe invested into the AI company, Supertone. Did any of you miss that announcement? I remember it. At the time, I didn't get it. But now I do. Hybe completed their investment to acquire the whole company for 32 million dollars!!! So Seventeen's song is NO surprise. "SHUT UP. Love Roscoe". I agree. This MV is Stunningly Exquisite. A 10 +, an A+. A WOWZA from the genius WOOZI! I tried to add the link to the article. But KZbin deleted it. I found the article on Google.

[@ideagirl]

AI is here. And Seventeen endorses it. What a lyrical and visual and robotic endorsement! Thank you for sharing Roscoe.

[@jadev164]

​@@ideagirlRather than endorsing it (they're actively fighting against the robots/technology in this MV), their message seems more to be "AI is here to stay so to avoid it dominating us, artists should learn how to use it to their advantage and show that, in the end, the real maestros are human beings not soulless machines, because humans can put meaning and intent in their art".

[@Singingtater24]

I mean, no.

[@jujoonline8248]

@@jadev164I agree with this. „Embrace the changes because you can‘t stop them, so learn to use them for yourself and make sure they don‘t have any chance to overpower you!“ This is the future we will have to live in at some point and we can only hope it will work like this

Hi Roscoe! Can you react to "Yoko na" by Josh Cullen ft AI James? Thank you!(⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡

[@Raeray440]

Anime Woozi strikes again 🤭😊🥰 I love the message behind the song too. Also love that Woozi likes to experiment with different sources of music too. edit: Woozi actually talked about the use of Ai on this song. Idk where but he said that he embracing it and using it as a tool nothing more. So Roscoe is right about the meaning of this song too.
