Yep, two vocalists: Woosung is the leader and main singer (he was lead on Back to Me) and Dojoon (he was lead on Alive) but they both sang on both. I don't think you realized they changed out on Back to Me. The Rose are INCREDIBLE, so glad you've found them! I only discovered them recently through Woosung's showstopping feature on Agust D's "Snooze" and am now obsessed. I know what you mean about getting upset! I remember hitting my steering wheel listening to Heal the first time "WHY ARE THEY SO GOOD?!?!" Woosung has solo stuff too you should check out. You'd like "Phase Me". (And yes, he is VERY pretty.) Woosung's voice is incredibly unique but they're all good.

[@OT7_DopeOldARMY]

I was laughing when he said "this new guy" had a less unique sound than the "first guy who was the main singer in the first song" - I was llke "nope, that guy who is "normal" is also the guy he loved on the first song with the raspy voice that he said was amazing...lol. 😂

[@naydenem]

Woosung featured on a Agust D song, Snooze. So good!

[@NatashaH0719]

So glad you are checking out The Rose! Yea they are an amazing group with great vocals. Woosung is the "lead" vocalist while Dojoon is also a main vocalist in the band. Woosung is actually from LA and fluent in English. He has a solo EP called "Moth" that is all in English that he made when the other 3 members were off in their mandatory military service. It is more pop than rock but it is still absolutely amazing! He was also featured on the Agust D song Snooze! The Rose has a new Album coming out at the end of the month called Dual and fans are speculating that it might be mostly in English because the three singles Back To Me, Alive & Your Beautiful have been if you want to check that out when it releases as well!

[@poussinette1562]

Omg, I love the Rose! They are my favourite band along with Onewe and Xdinary Heroes 🤩 thank you for listening to them!

[@anliqw]

Finally someone is mentioning ONEWE

[@jenniferclark1258]

I love The Rose! Woosung is raspy, growly voice. Dojoon is more pure. A lot of stuff is in English but some is in Korean. I saw an interview where Woosung says there isn't a plan on what is in English and what is in Korean. They just start writing and whatever feels right, they do. You should definitely check out Snooze by Agust D featuring Woosung on the hook. I think you were a bit confused on the singers because Woosung is far from basic. He has one of the most unique voices I've ever heard. Time live from Joshua Tree is one of my favorites and since you seemed to like the more rock, upbeat ones, you'd probably enjoy Candy and Sour. You're Beautiful is their newest song but will be slower and has a chill vibe. My favorites include Beauty and the Beast, Insomnia, Definition of Ugly Is, Childhood but those will all be slower and mixed English and Korean, if not all in Korean. Also, the official MV's will have subs but most won't so you will have to make the effort to look them up. They are a smaller band and just now starting to get recognized so I'm guessing that's why you don't find subs on a lot of their stuff. Good luck on your journey and keep us posted what you think as you listen more.

[@LUMI_MBB_STAY]

The Rose is so good omg!! I'm a die hard Skz fan and recently found The Rose with their Back To Me MV and was blown away! I went down the rabbit hole real quick!

[@sophiaalice3470]

Then you'll be surprised with Xdinary Heroes, they are a kpop rock band and the vibes are tremendous😊

[@Krystal109]

A little insight into The Rose for anyone who doesn't know them yet. Woosung is from Los Angeles and Dojoon lived abroad in New Zealand for a while, which is why they make a lot of songs in English. They've stated that they first write the melody and then just choose the lyrics and langauge based on what fits best... so sometimes they are fully English, fully Korean, or a mixture of both - usually their older music under their Korean label is fully Korea while their indie work is more of a mixture. Jeahyeong and Hajoon have less experience with speaking English, however, they've really improved over the last year or so thanks to so many overseas activities. As for how the band came to be, Woosung sort of fell into the group when he randomly joined a singing competition in the US and was scouted. After moving to Korea, his drinking buddy (Dojoon) asked him to fill in for a gig where his band Windfall needed a second singer and despite no real desire to join a band he did. That was how they because the group they are now and afetr signing with a label to become The Rose, eventually filing a lawsuit to get out of their contract and the members serving in the military for 2 yrs, they came back with their HEAL album as independent artists. They write and produce all their own music and play all the instruments for their songs. They also cover a wide range of musical styles.

[@Hotchicken7]

first heard Woosung through Snooze with Suga and have been hooked on the Rose ever since. So happy more people are finding them now! Their songwriting and vocals are special

[@AriaKh24]

The Rose sounds even better live so I hope you react to live performances as well! Not kidding they're so GOOD live! Sorry is better live than on MV ngl.

[@hsnyn91]

totally agree. still can't get over their live concert 🥲

[@RabidNav]

This makes me even more excited as I am going to see them in November, I can’t wait!

[@hsnyn91]

@@RabidNav wow! I'm still waiting for my country announcement

[@RabidNav]

@hsnyn91 🤞for you. I am actually going to the last show in the US and I almost missed out as I only recently found them. I knew about Woosung from his solo work, but I didn't know about The Rose, and now I can't get enough of them.

[@JusAgirl2008]

Ilysb by them and you're beautiful is on repeat in my playlists with this song. I am obsessed.❤

[@ttucker330]

Love The Rose!!! Have you checked out the Japanese band One Ok Rock? I recommend Take What You Want, We Are and Stand Out Fit In. Lead singer Taka has a great voice as well. 😊

[@sjbcreativeco]

I LOVE The Rose - You might like Xdinary Heroes and my fave from them is an English song called Good Enough. Also Onewe Aurora is beautiful (English version) - another band :)

[@HeidiLyonPervyNoonaGA]

I am so glad you checked out The Rose. The most underrated group in Korea, I swear. But what makes my heart warm is the love for Hajoon, the drummer!!! Yes, he's my bias, but so few people appreciate the drummer :)

[@0EchO]

I love The Rose. You should also check out Woosungs solo stuff. Would also recommend checking out "One OK Rock", if you want more rock suggestions. They are amazing, and their live concert videos are def worth checking out. "Take what you want" and "We are" from their Japan Dome Tour 2018 is so amazing.

[@veronicahernandez5266]

The Rose is so good! Their discography is mix/mix of songs in Korean or full English. I think you would enjoy "Phase Me", it's one of Woosung's solo songs from his Moth album. The group is Woosung (Lead Vocal, Guitar), Dojoon (Main Vocal, Guitar, Keyboard), Jaehyeong (Base), and Hajoon (Drums)... But Jae and Hajoon also sing and do sub-vocals. They also have English names... Woosung "Sammy", Dojoon "Leo", Jaehyeong "Jeff", Hajoon "Dylan".

[@lilianlil6716]

Yes!!!! The Rose!! I’m soooo glad you found The Rose!!! Woosung (the lead singer) is soooo talented and beautiful!! And his voice is the most unique voice I’ve ever heard and is soooo full with emotions!! I just love them sooooo much!!! I would also recommend you to check out his solo music as well (he produce his own music as well!!), you gonna love them!! ( from an Army and also a Stay)😂

[@lilianlil6716]

Also in “Alive”, the one on the left who started to sing from 1:18 is the lead singer (with the unique voice) not the one on the right 😂

[@bieber2911]

The Rose is an amazing band! Please check out their live stuff because that truly shows their talent

[@FenyalovesSTRAYKIDS]

8:43 omg felt that, everytime I can feel a new obsession/hyperfixation coming in I'm like here we go again

[@aliciapark6241]

The lead singer of The Rose is Woosung and he has a solo song called “Face” you should react to it. Woosung Face MV. It’s one of the few kpop music videos that has lgbt representation and criticising beauty standards

[@aliciapark6241]

Their group mv called Beauty And The Beast has it too also their song Baby is really good too

[@DonnaAguado-ji3mp]

I love the rose band... All their songs are really good.. there are many people are can relate to the songs

[@reen212000]

The Rose is definitely worth checking more of their discography. I recommend other K-rock bands like ONEWE, Day6, N.Flying, Rolling Quartz (girl band), and Xdinary Heroes. Fun reaction!

[@totallynotfinn_]

You should totally check out their song She’s In The Rain! It gets me emotional every time

[@FenyalovesSTRAYKIDS]

The Rose is so goooood

[@gabichamivi8369]

They are amazing musicians, sorry its their debut song but know on their last albums the most of the song are just in english, i hope you still reacting to the rose, the album heal is amazing, every song have a deep meaning and the music and production are really good too!

[@aliciapark6241]

You should react to these 2 songs from korean bands: ONEWE-AuRoRa Xdinary Heroes-Strawberry Cake

[@sleepytoons2155]

If you’re looking for rock music I think Xdinary heroes will also be right up ur alley! ^^ it’s good timing to get into them now bc they’re rumored to release something in October

[@k1nser]

The Rose are amazing!! My favorite song of theirs is She's In The Rain. You should definitely listen to Woosung's solo stuff if you get a chance! I'd also recommend checking out ONEWE (mostly soft rock), FTISLAND (soft & hard rock), Day6 (soft rock), Xdinary Heroes (mostly hard rock but has soft rock/ballads), LUCY (soft rock), N.Flying (mostly soft rock), L∅REN (soft & hard rock)

[@lina-1825]

i’m glad you’re listening to the rose!! they’re one of my favourite bands ever! they also have amazing personalities, they’re so funny… also, they had more of a “polished” style in korean, now they’re under their own company and have a lot of english songs and are more able to be themselves :))

[@SKZemiliaSTAY]

Omg I love The Rose so much! The leader/ lead singer Woosung's solo work is phenomenal as well. His voice makes me melt and he oozes s3xin3ss, especially on stage 🥵. He's Korean American and lives in LA I believe. His American name is Sammy ❤.

[@deniseannlange4519]

Another great Korean Indie rock band (ONEWE) I really enjoy. Thought you might also. Here is a sampling of each: ONEWE: * Gravity (1st all English) (great guitar section by Kanghyun) * AuRoRa (just amazing) * Still Here * Montage * Veronica * Rain To Be ***Currently members Yonghoon (lead vocalist) & Kanghun (guitarist) are completing their 18-month mandatory military service. Gi-uk (rapper, bassist) new solo songs: * Scratch * Time Machine * Love Virus ft. Sunwoo (fr. TheBoyz) -----‐------------------------------ Also, The Rose's Woosung ft. on BTS SUGA'S "Snooze" - (Great song!!!)

[@louisedawnauthor6590]

His Moth album is great. Also Snooze is incredible

[@anne4208]

They just finished their world tour (asia/europe) last friday. And it was wild. I saw them in Amsterdam. I can tell you, their songs are even better live O.o They absolutely slayed, and I'm now gonna cry in a corner that their tour is over lol. Sorry is actually their debut song, can you imagine, making a song that good as your first... You should also check out Red, Wonder and the definition of ugly. they have so many good songs 😭😭❤❤

[@lina-1825]

also, they have 3 mini albums (void, dawn, red), 2 non-album singles (black rose, beauty and the beast), 1 full album (heal) and their new album dual will be released this month!! (back to me and alive are 2 of the singles for it and sorry was their debut song) hope you continue to check them out :))

[@LumiEreDorama]

YOU DEFINITELY NEED TO CHECK Korean pop-rock band - DAY6. They`re amazing! They have a lot of different styles of music (some of the songs have anime vibe, some of them emotional, some have a retro style...) They have 4 lead vocalists!! Their vocal range is awesome! I`d advise you to start with: 1) "I Wait(아 왜)", 2) "Shoot Me", 3) "How Can I Say(어떻게 말해)" Honestly, it so hard to choose TOP 3 of their MV`s cos ALL THEIR SONGS ARE TOP OF THE TOP.

[@helenofargos]

Good Korean rock groups if you like The Rose: - Day6 (with a lot of emphasis on these guys omfg i love them so much) - my personal favorite songs/videos: Sweet Chaos, Shoot Me, Letting Go, I Need Somebody - Lucy (they have a violin and they’re all unbelievably talented) - songs/videos: Flare, Jogging, Hero, Unbelievable, Snooze, Irrelevant Answer - Xdinary Heroes (junior group to SKZ on their label, edgy and fun) - Rolling Quartz (i love women in rock 👏👏👏) - Onewe (i especially recommend “Aurora”)

[@I_LOVE_NMIXX..ITZY..Red_Velvet]

The Rose !!! They are fantastic !!! 🤯🤯🤯🔥🔥🔥

[@paulamcconahayc21affilated19]

So happy to see you checking them out. My favorite!! Sammy's haunting voice is a daily fix for me! I like when my musicians are pretty too!

[@brionyfakatou1620]

Yeah, I don’t know how to break this to you, but there are actually 2 main vocalist in the Rose. That wasn’t just one guy singing, in all the songs they were taking turns. But the guy who sings first in Back To Me, his name is Woosung. He was born in Korea but grew up in California. He has a lot of solo music as well. If you are interested in that I recommend the songs Face, and Phase Me. He also sings to hook on Agust D’S song Snooze. As for song from the whole group, I love Sour, She’s In The Rain, Cure, Time, and Red.

[@luvlyedan5397]

I am seeing them next month. I am sooo excited!

[@BABYMONSTER_RORA_RAMI_AHYEON]

The Rose fandom name : Black Rose The Rose is a band which is composed of four members : 1. Hajoon (Vocalist, Drummer and Rapper). 2. Woosung (Vocalist, (Electric) Guitarist and Leader). 3. Jaehyeong (Vocalist, Maknae, Visual and Bassist). 4. Dojoon ((Acoustic) Guitarist, Vocalist and Keyboardist). They debuted in 2017 with their 'Sorry' Single.

[@Einataharon]

XDINARY HEROES!!! CHECK THEM OUT!!!

[@queenie2142]

If you want to check out their English songs, then I'll recommend to listen to their HEAL album as a large portion are in English. Also look into Woosung's solo stuff such as his album MOTH. Though, honestly their Korean songs are good as well. You may also want to look out for their upcoming album called DUAL which drops on Sept 21st 9pm PT

[@jonok42]

They sing in both, but their new album DUAL was just released. Its primarily English. The first two songs were from DUAL. My opinion is: that because they have become very international they will stick to primarily English. Their label Transparent Arts is an American based agency, and specializes in global artists. English just makes more sense because Korean is not as widely spoken or understood. Im sure they will still do some songs in Korean because three members are Korean citizens. Woosung is a US citizen.

[@Chocopie_357]

I really like Dojoon's voice, but Woosung's voice is driving me crazy😭😭😭 you should watch their live stages, it's really impressive

[@brionyfakatou1620]

Sorry is their debut track. It’s a great song but you can definitely see how they have evolved since then.

[@sharonlahaye5803]

The only two Korean groups I listen to are BTS and The Rose, so I was thrilled when I heard Snooze, Agust D’s song with Woosung featured. Please react to this song! Woosung is actually Korean-American.

[@nancykrew225]

Yes Woosung such a pretty boy with pretty voice

[@Taesvart]

I recommend Xdinary heroes and Onewe too

[@maryannbaxter73]

In love with them since I heard Woosung with Suga. So fresh yet many old rock sounds that I love. It reminds me of so many groups from the 80´s. Love it. You are getting mixed between the 2 singers. You´ll get to differentiate theme better as you listen to more songs.

[@Lauren88O8]

I love the Rose. All four guys are very talented. Woosung, the lead singer, is American. He was born and raised in Los Angeles.

[@tahlianolland]

Woosung is so prerty 😊

[@LinTVx]

The rose have lots of beautiful songs...please react more

[@michaelaroskova4793]

If you want a good rock band, you have to check out One Ok Rock because they are on another level. My favorite band ever. Saw them 3 months ago and it was the best concert I've ever been to. If you'll check them out, watch live performances cuz' their music is made to be heard live. We Are and Take What You Want (from japan dome tour), Cry Out and Mighty Long Fall (for more rock-iss sound), Wherever You Are and Renegades (piano ver).. etc.

[@jessicaglass]

For good bands you should check out onewe they are one of my ults and day six.

[@larah1257]

The Rose are awesome tiktokers as well, they are hilarious 😂❤. Love their music also of course ❤

[@lindsaynicole4812]

both guys were in all 3 songs. hahaha

[@deja_boo]

the rose is so underrated. but yes, you will get obsessed with their music. it's also not as overwhelming as a lot of other group's. i'd suggest candy (so good), the definition of ugly is, she's in the rain, and their cover of ILSYB!!

[@Roseintherain89]

Sorry is their debute song. For the lyrics, they kind of go with the flow and what sounds better. Their latest songs are all in English, I don't know if this will be the case for the whole new album. The Rose doesn't like to fit in just one box, with their new album they are using a lot of different sounds to get out of the box (you got a taste of it in Alive with the drop)! I definitely recommand you to listen to "sour" I think you'll like it a lot :)

[@Nai-09]

LOVE The Rose! Try One OK Rock, it'll blow you away.

[@izmyasmira-kt3qb]

[@jendiademalleyhart3027]

New sub here! May I suggest Sour and Childhood next please? I am obsessed with The Rose and I am also a fan of Dojoon and the bassist Jaehyeong. I saw them in concert last year and they are AMAZING live. I’m going back in November, driving 6 hours! Sorry was their debut, and they were with a really shitty company to start with. They were a little softer in their songs previou to Dojoon, Hajoon, and Jaehyeong went to military service. Their new company is American and Woosung grew up in California. Dojoon spent time in New Zealand.

[@fionalewis202]

[@louisedawnauthor6590]

Dojoon has a lovely voice, but please don’t call woosung’s voice generic. He is literally world famous for his unique voice. Like that is what he’s known for… 😅 @LeanAndLooReact

[@LeanAndLooReact]

Amen. His voice is what got him picked to collab with Suga!!!

[@RabidNav]

He definitely got confused. It appears that he thought the lead singer was the same in the first and second song. I cringed so hard when he said basic, how embarrassing. He obviously doesn’t truly believe that as he was praising Woosung’s voice in Back To Me. Both Woosung and Dojoon have fantastic voices and neither could be described as basic.
