First Time Hearing!!! WayV Action Figure Reaction Video!!! Actually Insane!!!

[@texasteen]

WayV are the chinese subunit of NCT. They sing mostly in mandarin. There is going to be a Japanese unit soon as well.

[@diandracoffey2310]

❤I'm glad that you finally made it to wayv since nct is about to have a full group comeback (with all 20 members)... but check out Ten- Birthday

[@EXOsNoona]

Up!

[@milindawilson9175]

Currently, there are 6 members in WayV. Ten is also a member of NCT-U and SuperM; Winwin is also a member of NCT-U and NCT-127; Kun -- the leader of WayV -- originally debuted as part of NCT-2018; and Yanyang, Xiaojun and Hendery debuted specifically as members of WayV at the beginning of 2019 when WayV was formed. > Kun -- the one with the blueish plaid suit and blue and orange hair in "Action Figure" -- is the oldest who is 27; he is a lead vocalist. > Ten -- the guy with the red plaid suit in "Action Figure" -- is 27 and he is Thai, but his grandparents are Chinese and he attended an international school in Thailand where they spoke English most of the time, so he is fluent in English. (He is the NCT member who is fluent in the most languages -- on top of being fluent in Thai, English, Korean and Mandarin, he is also learning Japanese); he is a main dancer, lead vocalist and a center of WayV. He is also the NCT member with the most solo songs. > WinWin -- the one you see first in the very beginning -- is 25 years old and he is a lead vocalist, lead dancer and sub-rapper. (He is trained in traditional Chinese dance and attended one of the most prestigious dance academies in China. He was also admitted to a very important dance program at university -- similar to the Chinese equivalent of Julliard.) > Lucas -- the tallest one -- is Chinese-Thai from Hong Kong, so his native language is Cantonese; he is a lead rapper, vocalist and the visual of WayV. (However, due to a dating scandal and other controversies, Lucas officially left NCT earlier this year and is currently a solo artist and member of SuperM.) > Xiaojun -- the guy with the gray suit and the black hair -- is 23 and he is the main vocalist and the one with the high notes most of the time. > Hendery -- the one with black suit and blond hair -- is 23 and he is from Macau China, so he also speaks Cantonese; he is a lead vocalist and lead rapper. > Yangyang -- the guy with the half suit jacket in "Action Figure" -- is the youngest at 22 years old. He is Taiwanese, but he lived in Germany for a while and attended an international school, so he is also fluent in English and proficient in German; he is the main rapper. The only reason why WayV doesn't have NCT in their name like the other 3 NCT sub-units is because, at the time of their debut, there was a lot of political issues between Korea and China, and because of that Korean companies were not able to work in China. NCT's Chinese sub-unit has been going to debut for years, but with all the political issues it took SM Entertainment a long time to find a way to work around all the rules the Chinese government put in place to prevent its native Chinese citizens from working with anyone associated with Korea and preventing anyone who was working with a Korean company from working in China. So, in order to circumvent some of China's restrictions, SM found/created a Chinese company that was willing to take on NCT's Chinese sub-unit, but also allow SM to have a say in the group's concept and promotion activities. Part of how they get around the rules is they gave the group a name that distances them from their Korean roots. (That is also why WayV's Chinese fans are called WayZenNi instead of NCTzens and why WayV has their own lightstick design that is different than NCT's, etc.) The company WayV is under is called Label V, which is part of SM, but separate from the Korean branch of the company and it produces songs in Mandarin to keep the Chinese government happy. All the members of WayV also speak Mandarin and have some connection to Chinese heritage, but most of the members are not native mainland Chinese citizens, so this gives them some immunity from the Chinese government. But they are representing China and they are promoting Chinese culture, so the Chinese government kind of turned a blind eye to the fact that they are technically still under a Korean company, as long as they hid any connection to their Korean company while doing promotions in China. As you can see, not only do the WayV members speak, Mandarin, Korean and English, but they are a very international group that speaks many languages. So, pretty much all of WayV's songs are in Mandarin with a few English lyrics and words mixed in. (Except when it's an English version, such as "Bad Alive" or their all-English version of "Love Talk," or their English song "Miracle", or if you happen to pick the Korean version of some of their songs.) LOL

i'm from cn and i feel like it's so weird you guys keep copying these "explainations" under every wayv reaction video... original 7 members and 3 members born and raised in mainland cn and sm's target is mainland cn, that's why they sing in chinese, what do you mean by they sing in chinese to make gov happy??? wayv is popular in kpop world but actually most of chinese audience don't know about them😅 so you guys don't need to imagine like they are a threat to the gov or anything...

[@thechigirl2498]

Everyone is technically a member of NCT U…lol

[@milindawilson9175]

@@thechigirl2498 Yes, I know everyone is part of NCT-U. What I was referring to was what they were a part of at the time of debut.

[@rxmz2386]

wayv songs are so fun to listen to esp bc of how they incorporate how Chinese is a tonal language into the melodies

[@JellyPopped]

SM don't promote their Chinese unit, I know vocals & I can honestly say, no other vocalist in this industry can best Xiaojun, Ten's a very good vocalist & one of, if not THE best dancer in K-Pop

[@PrincessJazzzz]

Ten has a few solo songs, Dream within a Dream, New Heroes, Paint Me Naked and Birthday. He is one of the best dancers in NCT, he is also in the super group SuperM.

[@rachellopez6049]

Please react to Ten « Birthday » and if possible the dance practice since you also like to see that. He is going crazy and we can actually see a lot more that isn’t shown on the MV.

[@laydzhang295]

Check Bad Alive next! WayV's sexiest mv. It's too much, it's almost scandalous, 😅 Also Regular their very first mv, Phantom their most recent, Love Talk their most popular, and Turn Back Time their best (in my opinion).
