Seventeen was my first thought for the dance/choreography question as well! I don't really keep with them or their music, but I know they're pretty well-known and respected for their dancing and synchronization.

Yes, SEVENTEEN are literally still the reigning & undisputed Kings of K-pop Dance!!! There are so many amazing dancers out right now, of course, but nobody has consistently brought it like SVT for the last 10 years, and are STILL consistently bringing it hardcore and to the high level they do, when it comes to dance, choreographies, synchronization, & performance, each and every time.

[@godzsilla5248]

Totally agree!!

[@bblilyylensz]

i feel like jack would LOVE dreamcatcher

[@Vincisomething]

Seconding XG. I know they're technically not Kpop, but it needs to be added. They're fluent in Korean so good enough lol.

[@tardybloomer]

Seventeen the kings of dance !! Thank you for recommending them, i’m a stay and atiny but my first loves were Seventeen !! 💖

[@skyhodgson6486]

It makes my heart happy that you tried to learn the dances. I remember about 8-10 years ago I was doing the exact same thing. The songs are so upbeat and fun, and the dances are so cool! ^^

[@RestingQuill]

I now need a part 2 where Sean reacts to Stray Kids, Ateez, and txt. I feel like he would absolutely love their music

[@RestingQuill]

I think if you were to search "kpop noise music" you would most likely get the music you like thats newer

[@amdraglover]

As a Staytiny and baby carat I def agree!

[@iluvpuffins6670]

Definitely. I’m an Atiny. I need his reaction to Wonderland Symphony #9 and Guerillas and the break the wall fan chant lol

[@CJ-cz3hv]

My non kpop fiance only likes Ateez, they have this sound that anyone can listen to

[@im_boo_11]

100%, if that happened I would die happy

[@klaragranzow2540]

For newer boy groups who make noise music I can recommend Stray Kids, Ateez and Xikers! Also I'm so excited that you've been into Kpop when I also got into my first Kpop phase

[@atticghost2739]

i second these recommendations!! i love all three of these groups

[@Abbyintheboxes]

XIKERS MENTIONED RAAAAAHHHH

OOH I've been meaning to check out Xikers! I saw their 'WITCH' dance practice and was absolutely blown away!

[@bandnerd545]

The Rose makes noise songs too. Highly recommend Back to Me or alive

[@andiniwirawan]

Sean being OG SM Stan and Gen 2 Kpopers will be my favorite septiceye lore🤣🤣🤣

[@misssue9514]

The fact you choose that as your thumbnail, thank you🙏🏽 People got nothing on 2nd gen K-pop, those were good times

[@Minasince]

Didn’t realize how much I needed that SHINee nostalgic dump. I saw old SHINee on the thumbnail and clicked so hard.

[@joycebelleflamme]

I completely agree with what Jack said about preferring songs with a more 'darker' or 'edgy/mature' sound. Because of that, I gravitate a lot towards Stray Kids and Ateez, as they have a lot of very good songs in that area. But jeez, everything shown in this video was such a blast from the past!

[@CuteKittyKatelyn]

Same here :)

[@SynthAir]

Yeah, same here. For example I wasn't really a fan of Twice until their album Eyes Wide Open. That album is utterly fantastic. I'd imagine Jack would like it, and he'd probably like Minnie's Her, Aespa's Whiplash, and almost anything by Big Bang, 2NE1, NCT 127, Bibi, Chung Ha, or Kiss of Life. There's so much!!

[@tomboysquirrel]

Yeah I always like the trap / EDM style kpop

[@tdelioncourt1268]

OnlyOneOf and Pink Fantasy too (both too underrated) ! technically not k"pop" but Bewhy, Dpr Ian and Bibi would most likely match his taste too.

[@beomkaslana]

Despite me prefering more cutesy and fun kpop songs like earlier Twice and TXT, Red Velvet, Boynextdoor, QWER, etc... Love me some quirky edgy noise music too, kpop is not complete without them (!!!)

[@airtemis]

Jonghyun is my ultimate bias, it's so great hearing others remember him. It was December 2017, i still think about the morning when i read the news 💔

[@LifeAndSophia]

I remember that morning so vividly. I was in my living room and I had just woken up. It took me like 10 minutes for the info to set in and I just remember crying all day and playing all of his music on repeat. He’s dearly missed and he’ll live on as one of the greatest 💕

[@youlleatamuffinandlikeit4596]

That morning is seared into my brain because of how surreal it was. I was in my room, woke up, went on my phone to check r/kpop and was floored by the news. couldn't even say "oh it's like that time everyone thought tom cruise was dead and he had to post on twitter that he wasn't"...except the news had already been confirmed by sm hours before. It still makes me sad to listen to his music. 😔

[@anhcharizard]

I called my old best friend who was also obsessed with k-pop as me, at like 3-4 am and was DOOM scrolling after we heard the news… still so unfortunate 😢 I remember my heart sinking at that moment 🕊️r.i.p

[@airtemis]

@anhcharizard Oh man, yeah I wish I'd had my friend around. I cried nonstop for three whole days and felt numb for a couple of weeks. I still listen to his music though. Even though it stings still, it's almost therapeutic to hear his voice.

[@willowg7131]

It was the first time grief hit me so hard. I instantly burst into tears and ran downstairs and hugged my mom, and I'm never that impulsive. Not something I'll soon forget. May he rest in peace.

[@randomsorting9518]

[@alishakay]

Judging by Sean's tastes, he might like Ateez - Guerilla, The Real TXT - 0X1 Lovesong, Puma Stray Kids - Thunderous, Topline Xdinary Heroes (I don't listen to them often but they're an amazing rock band, their fandom can suggest some songs).

[@avalonwolf]

For Xdinary Heroes I'd recommend Strawberry Cake and Freakin' Bad

[@PixelWolf0325]

Xdinary Heroes’ Save Me is what grabbed me after Han shared it on his IG. Probably would fit in with his tastes.

[@DatBoiAntix]

NCT 127 - Fact check. Not one for boy groups but NCT 127 somehow surpassed the gate because of how hard they go.

[@tullytubbies314]

His taste is giving *BREAK THE WALL* 👹👹☠️⛓️😤💀

[@1kornygrrl]

Xdinary Heroes- Instead!!!

[@TapMu5ic]

The absolute nostalgia and just memories of these spesific MVs and groups that this is showing just makes me feel so much. Ah, I just wish I had someone to share these moments. (Spica - You don't love me) has a speciel place in my heart

[@TapMu5ic]

These are all the song and MVs that I saw and had no one to share them with ;)

[@sbee34]

Sean being a SHINee and BEAST fan was not what I was expecting but it fits him so well😭 I have a feeling that he'll LOVE MONSTA X, VIXX and NCT 127 (based on what he said)

[@syedaaaaaaa]

MONSTA XXXXX YESSSS. Ugh so underrated. Like ik Ateez and skz (both of whom I listen to!) have become the groups considered for their “hard/noise” music but man Monsta X was the og

[@xAutumnTwilightx]

YES Sean will love Monsta X for sure! I recomment Monsta X songs such as Hero, All In, Rush Hour, Gambler for you Sean!

[@xAutumnTwilightx]

​@@syedaaaaaaaSo happy to see someone else appreciate Monsta X in here, they truly are underrated internationally 🥲

ikr i just think 2nd gen is superior

[@exosproudmamabear558]

4th gen is meh , 3rd gen is much more better they had more variety and it was the peak,5th gen is straight trash . 2nd gen music seriously isnt for me I am an exol even loving their 2nd gen like songs I cant help but cringe. Those beats and metallic aliminium clothing God.

[@pumpkinonwheels4238]

Sean being a 2nd gen stan makes so much sense. And also TASTE. Seconding the recs for ATEEZ and Stray Kids. I think he’d adore them. Dreamcatcher too! And I am BEGGING for him to watch some of Taemin’s solo work.

[@e.ballerina954]

I got into k-pop around the same time as Sean though I was a bit younger,. but as a struggling Teen/Young Adult with at the time undiagnosed autism and ADD K-pop just pulled me out of a hole, the music just had such a positive impact and helped me regain part of my will to keep going. this video reminded me of those times and how far I've come since then, I really needed that reminder today ♥

[@b3nt055]

seán and shinee??!! an unexpected crossover i didn’t know i needed until NOW

[@Moon0525_]

As a Shawol from 2011... As you can tell from my username.... You have no idea how much I love this video. I'm in my feels right now having a damn good time singing, dancing, and smiling over this. Lucifer was the very first K-Pop song I listened to and the amount of memories all of this holds for me, is unreal. Thank you so much for this trip down memory lane

[@seduelle]

shawol sean, our comrade ✊ all the shinee members have solo careers now as well, it'd be dope to see his reaction to their songs. they all have different sounds from each other, but you can hear the influence their solo careers have had on the more recent (2015 and beyond) shinee albums. it's amazing how all their individual skills and experiences come together to create something entirely new every time.

[@jjuniper479]

Knowing that Jackspecticeye liked both BOY and girl groups makes me respect him so much more

[@earthpirapats]

sean being a SHINee and bigbang stan might be one of the things i needed to hear today - an onew bias and g-dragon bias

Lucifer, sherlock, and electric shock were literally my first 3 songs that got me into kpop 🥲 Best blast from the past.

[@sarahtonin.]

Ooh, to add- Amber (fx) is still making music and very active on lots of platforms

[@jellycatfish]

When Seán said he liked Mic Drop, I said out loud: then you'll like Fire! And he said he liked that song as well, it gave me the biggest smile I've had on my face for days! I really enjoyed watching all the older songs too, I knew all of them.

[@no.1yoongistan]

i was smiling so hard SJSJS

[@SoggycereaI]

I'm sure he'd like the current solo stuff from BTS, since I do feel like it's generally gone further from the squeaky mainstream pop sound (Dynamite, Butter) that I also don't like, but the genres are very personable atp. I might be biased saying that I love J-hopes solo work and would love to see him listen, (like I love Arson and I can see him liking it as well for example) and also Yoongi's work as well!!

[@yj_xshift]

As a korean and a long time jack fan, this is so amazing to watch how he likes all the old kpop songs, know the lyrics, makes us feel appreciated in the right way ^w^ 많은 사랑 Sean!!!

[@NataliePark-we9hz]

Ateez definitely has some of the best Choreo right now, and them and Stray Kids probably have a sound most similar to what Sean likes.

[@dots_com1386]

“It’s like seeing a new season of a TV show” is the PERFECT way to describe it. I will be using that from now on, thank you!

[@alanardominim]

Unfortunately, the k-pop world is still a mixed bag of stuff. Fandoms are absolutely insane, tearing at each other's throats over every possible perceived slight. There's also been a rise in what's called 'solo stans', which means ppl that are so obsessed with a single member of the group that they're rallying to have that member leave and start their own thing (and on the opposite side there's those who hate a member and want them to leave to protect the rest of their precious members). For example, recently a member of Riize, a 7 member boy group, got the worst treatment because he had a girlfriend? and smoked? before he was even in the group?? The company did nothing to help and these kstans went insane (there's been a recent trend of antis sending Funeral Wreaths with vile messages to the companies, talk about yikes) . It's bad, it's a very toxic place in general and if you find a few good friends that are ...y'know, mature enough to use their brains, then that's great, but in general every other day there's a "scandal" Some artists, if they're popular enough have more of a leg to stand on when signing contracts, but a lot are still basically owned by their companies. Some groups I'd recommend listening to, from the more newer generations, i guess, would be some of the BTS members solo albums (as you said, some are still in the military but they pre-recorded individual albums), Seventeen (one of the top groups when it comes to choreos), Stray Kids (this one seems to be very much to your taste, I think? They're also friends with Ryan Reynolds, ayy), Ateez (there's a lot of new groups, but idk if you'd be that interested in groups that are spanning between 18 and early 20s year group). For girl groups, G-Idle, Mamamoo, Twice, Red Velvet (I'm also trying to name groups you haven't mentioned that you've heard on tiktok already). Different members of Shinee and Big Bang are still putting out music, definitely recommend checking out Taemin and Key's stuff as well as Taeyang and G-Dragon If anyone comes at me for not mentioning a specific group, I will knife you. Please be mature about it oh my god.

[@kimpark6325]

God you are so right about the toxicity. Some fandoms are better than others from what ive seen but generally its a mixed bag frl frl

@alanardominim I found my best friend in the world through Stray Kids. She's literally my platonic soul mate. And we never would have met without kpop. But I also at the same time have had to pull away from some other Fandoms for my own sanity because the toxicity is out of this world. It's a catch 22 society
