You've already picked out two things that korean productions excel at, lighting and set design! Clever cuts and transitions have also been getting even more impressive the last couple years. Enjoy this wild ride of kpop, there's a lot to choose from!

[@itsjonhiller]

🙏🙏🙏

[@mca13]

NCT 127 group has the most versatile MV styles. For filmmaker point of view, you will love the MVs production of "2 Baddies & Sticker"

[@bfbf7464]

I totally agree! NCT U - Make a wish probably too.

[@rubbadubbs3242]

I think you’d love The mv called Superhuman by NCT 127 as well. It’s one of their more cinematic videos. Another cinematic recommendation from another group would be the video called Fear by Seventeen. Both great songs with amazing music videos.

[@itacv8185]

If you want to be mindblown NCT 127 is the right subject! both musically and visually. I recommend all of their mvs but particularly Cherry Bomb, Superhuman, Kick it, Simon says and Gimme Gimme.

[@yelirmae]

you picked an amazing example to watch for your first reaction to kpop :) NCT's videos, especially superhuman (!!!) are visually ... near perfect. loved the reaction!

[@itsjonhiller]

so glad you liked it!

[@scrtlvrs]

i always love seeing people reacting to kpop for the very first time without any prejudice, because once you've been a kpop fan for a few years, you almost forget how much work goes into all these music videos etc since you see them on the daily and you kinda just get used to that insanely high quality 🙈 also, it's just super fun to witness people dip their toes into the huuuuuuuuge sea that is the kpop industry, there's so many groups to discover and so much to learn, and it definitely might feel overwhelming at first, but it's definitely worth it!! that being said, i would like to suggest my all-time favorite kpop group to you, their name is "stray kids"! they're a self-produced (very rare!!) boy group with 8 members under the label jyp entertainment and they're crazy talented! i hope you can check them out sometime, a good place to start would be following music videos: god's menu (their first big hit), maniac, case 143 (their most recent mv), thunderous (a more traditionally inspired mv), ... and the list goes on! i'll gladly suggest some more songs but i think those would all be a good starting point ☺️ thanks for the reaction (loved all the explanations!) and have a great day!!

[@yourfriendlycasper]

Thank you so much for taking the time to react to NCT 127. Loved all your input. 💚

[@kimlee9322]

Agree. This is the best reaction I've seen so far.

[@nikkihagverdi6540]

Thank you for reaction👍 please react to 'Superhuman' by NCT 127. It's very interesting MV

[@hideInbushTT]

Yup. I up this.

[@hideInbushTT]

Hey man really nice video loved how you explained the details. NCT has some really good music videos. You should definitely check out more of them. I recommend "Kick It“ and "Superhuman“ from them. 2 really great songs with high budget music videos.

[@user-nj9ip2qb1o]

The reaction from a professional filmmaker's point of view is really interesting! You should check out more NCT127’s mv like ‘kick it’, ’superhuman’. I LOVE this video so much. Thank you for reacting to NCT127.❤

[@piliredondo2661]

Thank you for watching this video! There’s one of their Japanese songs that has a very interesting video, with lots of cool cuts and peculiar effects. It’s called Gimme Gimme. I’d love to hear your opinion on it!

[@carolechaney2830]

I think Gimme Gimme is a great suggestion, it's one of my all time favorites.

[@sofihirata]

Awesome analysis! As a nctizen I love to dive in even further and appreciate the love and work put in a video such as this. 💚

[@itsjonhiller]

🙏🙏🙏

[@clairelovesbeom]

Thank you for reacting to NCT! Would love to see you check out some of NCT Dream’s music videos like ‘Hello Future’, ‘Beatbox’, ‘Glitch Mode’ or any of their videos really :)

[@eshfish4552]

Love this fam!! Keep it up

[@itsjonhiller]

🙏🙏🙏

[@Lyxtra]

Out of the hundreds of people I'm subscribed to, you're the only one I have notifications turned on for. I love the way you react. Others focus on the lyrics, you focus on the cinematography (I hope that's the right word to use lol). Here's a list of all NF music videos you have yet to react to (The names with "-" in front of it are the songs I would want to see you react to sooner) -The Search Outro Intro Intro 2 Grindin' Wait -Leave Me Alone -Why -How Could You leave Us (Grab some tissues ahead of time) -Time If You Want Love Real -Green Lights I Just Wanna Know Notepad Warm Up Wake Up No Name Therapy Session -Outcast

[@itsjonhiller]

amazing thanks so much! i appreciate the suggestions as well

[@7davidb]

@@itsjonhiller maybe add All I Have to that list? :)

[@reen212000]

This was great! This was one of the more sedate NCT music videos that I’ve seen recently lol. Sticker, Kick It, and Make a Wish are all fun to watch. My favorite kpop MVs to watch include: Monsta X - Gambler (pretty much anything by MX); GOT7 - Not by the Moon; Stray Kids - Freeze; Jackson Wang - Blow; and Astro - All Night.

[@Mind_ur_business_]

hi monbebe

[@Necroherz]

Ufff man i loved your reaction to my boys from a professional perspective, i hope to see more of you with my beloved NCT127 in the future 💚

[@hehetzen]

we need more nct reactionss they are amazing!!!

[@redgegonzales3829]

NCT

[@redgegonzales3829]

SUPERHUMAN as well. :)

[@allons_y1001]

I thoroughly enjoyed this reaction... thank you! 😊 💚 NCT 127 is actually one unit in a much larger group, called *NCT (Neo Culture Technology).* The goal their label has had from the beginning for NCT, was to always strive for leading the trends and pushing boundaries. From choreography, to the level of experimentation in their title tracks, and even down to the structure of the group, as they are "unlimited"... meaning more members/units will be added every few years, with the long-term goal of an NCT unit in all major countries. Currently there are 23 members split between *3 FIXED* member units *(NCT 127, NCT Dream & WayV),* meaning their member lineups typically do not change... and *1 NON-FIXED* unit *(NCT U),* where the lineup varies on a per song basis, and any number and/or combination of members from the overall group can be on a track... could be 2 members on one song and 9 on the next, we never know who it'll be until it drops. We normally only see NCT U during special all-member album era's though, of which there have been just 3 in the 7 years they've been active. Next will be NCT 2023, sometime this year. Some recommends that have particularly lavish mv's; *NCT 127* - Kick It *NCT Dream* - Hello Future *WayV* - Take Off *NCT U* - 90's Love These are all highly detailed and beautifully edited. I also recommend 'Superhuman' by 127 which has a lot of reaaaaally good cgi. 👍

[@hanishshkr]

Nice reaction. Didn't realize how a simple mv could have that much work put into. Btw, please react to more NCT MVs :) i recommend these ones which I find interesting and fun: NCT 127 - 2 Baddies NCT 127 - Superhuman NCT 127 - Kick It

[@llaurenramsdell]

Nct 127 has some really visually interesting videos and their songs are literal ear worms that will get stuck in your head forever in the best way! If you’re loving all the visual info and creativity of kpop videos so far you HAVE to check out Stray Kids!! They’re well known as having some of the BEST transitions in kpop, their videos are literally insane! I recommend Gods Menu, Thunderous, and Maniac to start!

[@bayleekaye1077]

this gave me a whole new appreciation for this music video. at first it didn’t stick out to me a whole lot, but with all your expertise I saw so much more to be amazed by!

[@honeyade]

Love the detailed analysis and commentary! The visual elements in the music video are often overlooked, so I'm reallly grateful for this video! NCT music videos are visually pleasing, I recommend you check out NCT 127's Kick It, Sticker, and Favorite (Vampire), too! ❤️

[@alexanderthompson9562]

I followed for NF, but I also really appreciate experiencing new music and hearing a cinematographer's view on new media!

[@alcantaracwb]

I really like this MV too, but if you want to see something amazing from NCT 127, watch "Superhuman", for me it's one of the best MV in the history of K-pop

[@volpe_sol]

It's really refreshing to see a music video that doesn't rely too much on vfx. The fundamental and practical execution in this is insane. Practical effects and real ambiance is just a whole different vibe :D

[@ilikesomeham9891]

Absolutely loved the reaction. It's nice when people go in without prejudice. I think you would also love dpr's music video. They're a small team of artists and everything happens internally. Their music video director dpr ian is absolutely brilliant and his work is beautiful. He also makes music the miito movie part 1 is a great way to get introduced to his work. The music video for summer thights by dpr live is also absolutely stunning. It has some of the most interesting lightwork I've ever seen.

[@seob_777]

Ahh I finally got the time t listen to your reaction! Nct is probably one of my favourite group when it comes to music videos, one of my fav is probably “2 baddies”, it’s special yet really pleasing for the eyes 😁

[@EXOsNoona]

They’re so amazing!

[@cosmicdd]

Thanks for reacting to NCT they have sooo many outstanding videos (like Superhuman, Simon Says, Kick it and more) and lal of them they have a lot of attention to detail and avant-garde aesthetics, I've always enjoyed watching their stuff (I'm a graphic designer)

[@shalalashalalalalalalala]

Wow, thank you for reacting to this! But I can't help but selfishly want to hear your analysis/reaction to their Superhuman MV and all the phenomenal edits and transitions!

[@femmebrulee5053]

Hi. Great break down of the video. FYI The group's name is NCT one two seven instead of NCT one twenty seven.

[@itsjonhiller]

thanks for letting me know!

[@afletcher1700]

Thank you for your reaction. Kpop is on another level when it comes to visuals. I started listening to kpop a few years ago and haven't turned back!!

[@ssssundae]

Thank you for the awesome analysis! I actually didn't love the music video at first because I felt like it was just a lot of stuff happening in a brightly lit box, but the more I watched it the more I saw how much was going on. I really appreciated hearing your input as someone who knows what to look for!

[@violet-pn3ks]

yes as a film student, kpop music videos are some of my favorite to study! very cool stuff

[@peachentine]

I am not a huge fan of reaction videos for the sake of reaction but I always love to see reaction videos that bring the reactor's unique expertise to the analysis and this was so great! I loved how you broke down the lighting and equipment, the types of cuts used, this was such a cool reaction video. You picked a great subject with them because ever since their debut they've always been cutting edge and just a little bit ahead of what everyone's ready for at the time, there's a lot of rich material to check out with them. Thanks so much for choosing NCT 127 and giving them a try!

[@utilitarian]

My first K-Pop introduction. I like the camera work on this one - the red lights and the cuts looked chaotic yet aesthetically pleasing.

[@nana8715]

Thanx for your reaction!! Regular, Superhuman, Gimme gimme, 2 Baddies... all by NCT 127 next pls!!! you won't be disappointed, I swear.

[@notcheri]

Thank youuuuu! I seriously appreciate the reaction because not I don’t find a lot of reactions from professional standpoints-like the production and stuff 💚 Would love to see more of how you view things, so if you do react to them again in the future, here are a few music videos which I think you might enjoy: NCT 127 - 2 Baddies (kinda psychedelic-themed?) NCT 127 - Superhuman (sci-fi) NCT 127 - Sticker SuperM - Jopping (most movie-esque?) SuperM - One (Monster and Infinity) NCT Dream - Hello Future NCT Dream - Best Friend Ever I don’t know, the way these music videos are made just fascinates me so learning from a professional standpoint would really be awesome! :) Thank you, again and have a lovely day! ☺️

[@ahminajohnson2136]

I loved your reaction!! More NCT127 please!!

[@ginjaninja4602]

Not necessarily a fan of K-Pop but im a fan of you so I'll watch lmaoo, keep up the good work and thanks for reading and listening to my comment on reacting to the hopsin video!

[@hetache07]

Yessss SM Artists NCT 127 Ayo

[@lovejaszxx]

this was so cool! loved learning about the techniques and specific details like the lens filter. I hope you do more k-pop mvs; they tend to be really intricate and complex

[@hehetzen]

i recommend the nct 127 superhuman mv it's a masterpiece

[@127theloml]

I appreciate your reaction so much! I hope you can react to more of NCT 127's MVs.

im not a Kpop person but i still enjoyed this reaction, awesome video

[@yaskzoo]

Thank you for checking NCT 127!! Another song/MV I think you’ll really like is Superhuman! One of my absolute favorites from them. Also another group I think you should check out is Stray Kids! They have songs like Case 143, or Thunderous with insane music videos!!

[@gigi-im6of]

You'd love 7th sense, simon says and superhuman mv

[@kimnganou1]

Thank you for your react. Please check the Superhuman MV. That’s masterpiece

[@dfe0]

Amazing reaction! Hope you’ll react to: NCT 127 - Kick It NCT 127 - Superhuman NCT Dream - Glitch Mode WayV - Kick Back

[@zacmcdowell2909]

Can appreciate the video, cinematography, and editing thanks to your video. Not something I’d really listen to again for the simple fact I don’t know what I’m listening to but fun reaction none the less.

[@bluepinixy]

Loove NCT, definitely recommend the MV for their song Superhuman for some really unique and interesting video editing!! Also for some more stunning sets I recommend their MVs for Kick It and Sticker

[@jaehyunrnb]

Thank you for reacting to Nct 127, hoping for more nct reactions

[@reinajayden4785]

loved this thank you for the reaction!!

[@harvey0076]

Oh gosh, how can I forget! You must react to Hopsin - BE11A CIAO !!! Gonna love it!!!

If you want crazy editing, Superhuman is a must from NCT 127 👌🏻

[@kimjames7880]

KPop is always fun to listen to, videos are great to watch, and the dancing is always on point.

Love your point of view and reaction, + new sub

[@sbalget]

You very quickly became my favourite youtuber. Your style of reacting and explaining is my favourite reaction style content I've seen on this platform. I have one request for you to react to: Birdemic: Shock and Terror. Theatrical trailer. Although this is a bit of a troll request, I'd be very interested to see how a professional filmmaker would improve it, lol.

[@stvrgzz]

omg omg thx for your reaction💚 pls do another reaction to another sm artist🤩

[@dfordotae]

nct 127 mb’s never disappoint!!! Superhuman will plow your mind 🔥🔥

[@berrylovesick]

Enjoyed your review! Hope we can hear ur thoughts on their Sticker MV too 😊

[@OfficialTroco]

I really want to see you reacting to "NF - Why did you leave us". After this long time since the song got released, i still can cry when i watch this video. Those emotions in the Video and the Song, uhhh, love it. I love all your reactions, how calm you talk and how you explain everything

[@werghost6717]

in a word YES! NCT 127 SONG & MV🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@BlubShorty]

Hey Jonathan! I just stumbled across your channel and really love the knowledge of yours in the business. Further, I'd love to see some sort of VLOG or anything related (e.g House Tour, really enjoyed the scenery of your last videos in the wood cabine!) to see the way you would interpretate, shoot and edit such videos. Keep up the awesome work! Greetings from Germany!

[@polyanagula]

thank you for reaction! kpop videos are indeed worth watching and analyzing, so I will look forward to your new videos! I recommend you to check out another group - Stray Kids - they have amazing transitions in their MVs! I recommend songs "case 143", "maniac", "god's menu", "thunderous".

[@33ivs]

omg you should react to superhuman!!! it’s amazing

[@rania3971]

I enjoyed your reaction ! More NCT please

[@firegodlive]

This was great! I love seeing the breakdown of the video itself rather than just the music. It would be amazing to see you react to Nothing More - Fade In / Fade Out Very moving song and video in a different genre :)

[@zhurongonmars6256]

NCT superhuman is one of the best music videos ever

[@leticiaregina3222]

Thank you so much for reacting to NCT 127, they really have a different perspective in visuals. I would love to see your reaction to ATEEZ's Halazia, that MV right there is really something else

[@seratrox6400]

Hello you should react to a French rapper " Ziak - Même pas un grincement (Prod. Sam Tiba)" I have never seen a clip so well done the French directors are really strong thank you Hello from France

[@Sarah-wf3xv]

i hope u watch more nct

[@maryellenhuss6204]

Thanks for reacting to NCT 127!! I really enjoyed watching the video again with your explanation of the camera work and lighting. I hope you continue to check out more kpop music videos (they feel like mini movies). Some suggestions are EXO: Obsession Stray Kids: Case 143 MAMAMOO: Hip aespa: Black Mamba

[@itsjonhiller]

thanks so much!

[@srijeuni1253]

Jon, thank you your first time kpop is NCT 127. If you need more, you can react all kpop under SM entertainment agency. We call SMCU (SM Culture Universe). You can start from NCT 127, Aespa, NCT Dream, WayV

[@crystallee3595]

Another group that has stunning videos is ATEEZ. Their latest video Halazia is movie quality! Paradigm and Guerrilla are also amazing! They do have an intricate story line that has been carried from debut in 2018 until now so they have teaser videos and at the end of their videos there is usually an extra scene of something related to the storyline.

[@cnik3313]

Love this channel!! I’ve watched a lot of reaction videos but I love the credentials you provide and your approach to the video. I WOULD LOVE to see your reaction to “The Beaten Path” by Our Last Night. Special camera movement I haven’t seen in a lot of videos but you made mention of it in Hopsin’s video. 😊

you should check out superhuman! it’s honestly amazing how that video was created and shot.

[@lucastrash3068]

"Superhuman" is another well-edited video. Please react to it! It is also pronounced NCT one-two-seven. :)

[@Simute777]

Great commentary, I really enjoyed the way you break down and explain things. I'd love to see your take on TAEMIN - Criminal. It's one of the most visually pleasing music videos for me to this day. As well as J-HOPE - MORE which has more of a grungy dark feeling to it, yet somehow seems clean and simplistic. As for something that's not KPOP, Rammstein's Deutschland just takes you on an incredible cinematic ride through history.

[@noomnoom6024]

You should react to NCT127 Sticker or 2 Baddies! The music video for those songs are insane

[@vattulaitti]

if you like this you should definitely check more k-pop music videos. It's very their thing in the industry.

[@julie-km6kn]

Thank you for reacts to NCT 127, could you pls react to NCT 127 superhuman and wakey wakey too 🙏🏻💚

[@deardaisy]

I recommend you to check out superhuman by nct127 too. It's one of the best edited kpop mvs out there

[@edkrasinski]

React to Ultimo - Alba (Sanremo 2023), he is an Italian artist, great music and phenomenal camera work, you would enjoy it very much.

[@carolechaney2830]

Dude, you must watch their other music videos. Taletale sign that you are now a new fan, you started making faces while watching the video. Welcome to the fandom🤗

[@loveandgrace0714]

I recommend nct 127 - superhuman. This is so so good video... amazing..

[@ekachyin3321]

Member bilang MV /comeback repackage kali ini kurang anggaran, tapi dgn hasil seperti ini masih di katakan bagus. Btw. Makasih sudah reaction MV dari NCT 127 AY-YO!! Peace Out!

[@shminge7779]

You should look into some music videos by Brakence, they have crazy effects that couple so well with the music! Try caffeine for example

[@avestra]

More Falling In Reverse please❤‍🔥

[@itsjonhiller]

will do!

[@Ma_ria_25]

if you are interessted in more kpop videos, you should chekc out "Halazia" by ateez and "HOT" by seventeen. I would say those are really great mvs. :)

[@jimrat92]

Alright, now that your getting into kpop u have to look at stray kids. I got hooked on the song and video "maniac" but their newest video "case 143" is fire. Some of the best videos in kpop hands down.

[@냠냠-l1d8p]

I recommend you another song of nct127 called ‘2baddies’ i like that mv sooo much i really get surprised everytime i see
