Rami's dance break is amazing. I don't why she has something about How she executes the performance . I love to See her in center during dance break.

[@sobkimjongil]

I am glad u pointed out. Every time Rami's dance break Rami slays it.4:09

[@asdfghjk2019]

Fr. And you can clearly see how happy and joyful she is during the outro

[@janjannn05]

Hello fellow Rami stan! Yes she SLAYED the last chorus!

[@abcd-pj1bp]

11:06 you are right she is rami, rami's one line is enough to prove How good of a vocalist she is

[@yeviunzani-cd3iu]

Ahyeon voice❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@LifeByKpop]

The room number 401 is YGs official debut date (4-1-24) of all members together, OT7. Love this one so much! Their best for me. The chorus is soooooooo cute! Asa's machine gun Rap is incredible. The attitude from Ruka is above par and all the harmonies are just what I expect for BABYMONSTER. I'm very glad they all got a chance to shine in this awesome throwback. There's a new dance performance video coming out on 7-5 from what I see on Instagram.

[@BYL_ON]

Love Ahyeon ❤

[@Duniakpop12]

Ahyeon suara mu benar2 sangat candu

[@user-LDGR4HKDKA]

Yes

[@babymonsterclips]

They're saying its a dance-pop track that puts a fresh spin on 80s synth-pop with BABYMONSTER’s unique style.

[@FredericaTommo]

it's s funny how everyone thinks the last part of the mv is a preview of the next song when its actually how the song starts. the shift is so smooth and natural that you forget how different the intro was

[@phebhe8470]

Woww ahyeon my biass ❤

[@AirinnAul]

ahyeon best ❤

[@user-LDGR4HKDKA]

main slayer

[@DoReMiChar]

The ending beat was also at the beginning part with Ruka. And it runs in the first verse too, way back. It's a loop. She rings the doorbell in the beginning and then you hear it in the end when the girls wake up and they run to the door.

[@maxhong1201]

This is my favorite song from them so far! Since the song is around 3.5 mins, they all can shine! I really can't wait for them to sing this song in a concert, it would be a banger 😍

[@Yanz27-mp7kv]

Yeah! This sound is a 80s or early 90s retro disco feel's. But this one with a modern YG twist majority is happy for this one like for like that. This is going to be great in a concert for sure! Specially in the encore! 🕺🎉

[@IanChav]

This is a hit for sure, video is so good. These girls can dominate any concept. They all look gorgeous as usual. Asa is crazy rapping, and Chiquita dancing, that's just so entertaining. They have so many catchy parts in this song. They sing awesome and the raps are their best yet IMO. All 7 killed it.

[@jojocastillo6441]

Thanks for your reaction and support of BabyMons7er. People forget and criticize them for high note control, shouting, nasally, health or unhealthy. All the vocalist were, 13-16 years(Babies) old not counting Ruka because is a rapper. Just within one year improving now.

[@Grishui]

Thank you for pointing out that "triumphant" feeling, emotional and happy factor. That's what I feel, their triumph. 🤍 This song is a statement and I love it. Shuts down them haters. 🤣 Please keep supporting them.

[@LadyNoire123]

Exactly. I’m surprised ASA is not the main visual of the group. The girl is stunning 😮 Guess bc she’s not Korean. Chiquita stands out a lot in MVs and performances. TBH, when it comes to the face of the group I think of her first, then Ahyeon. Overall, the concept fits them the best. I’m tired of groups singing about just how cool they are. In this song it was a nice balance of a love song and girl crush. Love how rap was scattered throughout the song as well as these amazing vocals. All girls shined in their own way. Ahyeon’s high-pitched vocal tone kinda threw me off in previous songs, but here she used her lower voice or smth. It was perfect. Rora and Pharita stood out in terms of vocals. Rami got less lines though, but still her styling, charisma and vocals were on point. Lyrics and MV were my favorite! I heard this was shot at a museum that hasn’t even been opened yet. I saw a video of an extra actor, apperantly they shot a 15 second scene for 19hours. Crazy 😅

[@vanthadoun1]

I agree. The title of "IT" girl is usually given to a native Korean, It was bestowed on Yoona Girls Generation, Irene Red Velvet, Jennie of Blackpink, Wonyoung of IVE, you see the theme, its usually a Korean native because they epitomizes the Korean Beauty standard the best. I definitely think Asa and Chiquita really stood out in this MV.

[@Analogue70]

In first scene is symbol of debut date, This mv refer to Cinderella story by adjusting some details • party in castle to runway fashion •Horse-drawn carriage to Pharita car

[@OHNO-m9z]

BABYMONSTER smashed it !! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@CASSpeluso]

my bias is chiquitasa lol and they're releasing a performance video that i hope shows the footwork for that one part

[@mytchmachatto]

You can actually watch some fancams on their fanmeets, they are incredibly amazing live!! Thank you for reacting on babymonster ‘forever’.

[@Paradoxious]

Their fanmeeting in korea is coming up. But they have already done them in japan/singapore/thailand. and the performances were insane. There are clips on youtube of them. Their encore's especially were great.

[@jgali38]

Great Reaction Jeff Avenue! BABYMONSTER will drop the Dance Performance Video in less than 12 hours! And on July 7th. They will perform on Inkigayo! If I’m not mistaken FOREVER was recorded with BABYMONSTERS band 4Rise! And if we’re lucky they use Handheld mic’s and their Band! Now Choice 37 and his crew wrote and produced everything with YG taking the backseat! MASTA WU was in charge of the Rapverses! FOREVER is a Summer song they will perform at Summer Sonic and they still haven’t performed in Seoul till the end of August! I’m looking forward to the Dance Performance to see the ASA/ Chiquita Rap/ Dance! Fans are going crazy on social media for that amazing combo! 🤘🙏🏻

Dont forgett BLUSVH in Chargers of the lyrics and the incredible talented MV- Producer, who Producer the I-AM MV from IVE, but now with YG style and Equipment….

Yeeeah boy ASA is my BIAS she is so versatile, her voice and har RAP HEEEER RAP broooo. Love her so much, and the song with Like That are my favorites 😍

[@allieserencio]

Yes that’s Rami at the end of 1st chorus!

[@Yowza436]

You're one of the best reactors. You have great insight and have nice way of putting things in perspective. Babymonster like you said had very high to unrealistic expectations(imo) that they were always bound to get heavy criticism. But after this pre-release you can really notice the improvements. They're very young still despite being uber talented. I wish people can be more kind and have more patience. Great reaction as always!

[@Yanyanceleres]

The beat you are talking about at the end is actually the beat of the song on the first part ❤❤❤

[@Torkum73]

You can see the footwork of Chiquita during Rap in another video, where they are live performing this performance. It is amazing.

[@MaryamKhan-rr4zc]

This MV beautifully represents a story where all the girls of BM r seen helping Pharita n no matter what happens, girls r their for EO. In Pharita's 1st scene, she is looking at her shadow, which is happy. "CAN'T STOP THIS FEELING TONIGHT WHAT YOU'RE WAITING FOR" plays in that sequence, then Pharita is seen in the claw machine, n Chiquita n other girles r trying to help her, in the next scene, she is seen happy n running on the street while her pictures are on billboards everywhere. The lyrics in that sequence are "HIGH UP IN THE SKY, I'M SPREADING MY WINGS".. During the evaluations once YG said, "Once she gets better in Korean and gets used to this country, I think she will gradually let loose of all the tension, and really spread her wings" now they used this as a Plot and create an amazing storyline around this.. In the MV, they've shown her flying in the sky, and lyrics like "NO NOTHING CAN STOP ME NOW" plays in the back.. In the end, they all wake up and realise that they are living their dreams. ❤

[@MaryamKhan-rr4zc]

@JeffAvenue what do you think?

[@putu5686]

i love that you can see many things that I did not realize. You criticize the video and also give input too. I have seen a lot of video reactions but your comments hit different.

[@micmag8071]

As usual, a reliable and factual response from a man who has the appropriate knowledge and knows what he is talking about. Thanks Jeff

[@crystal2484]

Asa mentioned in their fanmeet that they want to be with us Forever, many parts of this song seems to tell haters, like it or not, they are here to stay. And the group will pretty much be a multi-genres group simply because they are capable of that. Ahyeon said b4 that she doesn't want to be stuck in one genre.

[@iamnikkoangelo]

6:55 GREAT POINT!!! This is why I love Baby Monster! Like how can you hate them? They are all so talented!

[@akari_vinsmoke]

I guess that Room 401 is April 1, I searched for it and it's BABYMONSTER's debut day

[@icedkim-x7f]

I love how you appreciate all the girls and it’s not a lie 😊 this group is going to be big ❤

[@nightpictures3509]

This Song is insanely good and well written and they all Are so Talented, love them all. My bias is ASA and then Rora , Chiquita , Ruka ❤

[@OHNO-m9z]

Beautiful M/V !! Awesome track !! 🔥🔥🔥

[@karekare1261]

Love you Jeff and your reactions, too❤

[@africawai3555]

My thoughts: when I first listened to it, I love it ! Somehow, it seems like...YG walk out the comfort zone with their color codes and let our girls try different concepts. The music is retro, it reminds me a bit of 2nd gen like T-ara Bo Beep Bo Beep, or even early stage of Fin.K.L. All I can say is, whatever you feed them, they can digest different music genres easily, slow ballad, dark hip-hop, western or retro, you name it. ! Can't wait their full album in fall. I wish every member has her own track, especially Rora, I miss her deep tone with emotions voice. BTW, thanks for reacting and supporting BM for us.

[@iagreewithyou3478]

YG has done something like this before.

[@jessicajessica4392]

YG is way more versatile that people give them credit. BP early discography shows that, AKMU, IKON, WINNER, BIG BANG, they all have pretty different sounds and concepts. Treasure also showed more lighter sounds. They do have a specific sounds and DNA, but it is far from only being "TEDDY's formula" and always the same thing. I think YG was limited by BLACKPINK a lot after they blew up and they stayed in the same vibe/formula because it was safe and they got so big that it would have been risky to change their sounds too much. Glad to see they can have fun experimenting again with BM. They step up their games with FOREVER and hopefully they will continue showing her versatile and talented those girls are.

[@Yowza436]

@@jessicajessica4392 I agree that they're experimenting a bit with BM. I think people just like to run with lazy narratives about BM & YG. Each comeback is very different from the last so far.

[@nehiniz]

wow love the new background!

That’s what I thought too! This song will be so cool and fun in their concert, I caaaannn feel it ❤️‍🔥🤩🤩🥳

[@carmsweller6927]

Ruka can manage being good on both areas in this MV the reason why she have her slow rap just because she can easily release her energy with her powerful deep tone and can balance her dance as well while asa do the fast rap but they dont lett her dance bcuz its hard for her to do the fast rap while dancing its kinda look unable thats why they let chiquita to do dance part of her.

[@kianamarie6309]

[@kobokers3046]

Yes! I'm sure if the last instrument is for the main title track

[@austins120]

I think 401 stands for April 1st the day that they debuted as all 7 members. Also i love Ayheon her vocal, rap, dancing, and visuals are amazing. Her being the center was an awesome move on YG

[@jetaimesooshi]

Someone already answered but I still wanna say 401 is April 1, their official debut date as OT7 🤭 I enjoy their songs 😌 I think everything aha

[@arqHHM]

if you're looking for a western relation for the pre/chorus, it is very reminiscent of Y2K Euro EDM, there's one song at the tip of my mind but for the life of me I can't recall it.

[@intheeyesofrevin]

I just opened yt and this pop up guess im early. Anyway, Forever is a bop.

[@roberttemme6162]

Hey Jeff, I read the comments and someone already addressed the room number but I have a theory about the sign on the door "Babymonster Members Only". I feel this is retro circa 1980s vibe and as someone who experienced the 80s I remember the lightweight jacket brand "Members Only". It was a very popular brand back then. This may be a stretch but I feel a connection with this. Or it could just be coincidence. Yes, that is Rami singing "like I'm gonna Live, Like I'm gonna live forever" at the 11:10 mark. You can see Chiquita's feet in their Dance Performance video being released today (July 4th at 8am LA time).

[@Demigod2NE3]

Jeff.. the beat at the end.. is the same beat of the song intro hahaha. 😅 They just repeasted it as an outro for the MV lol

[@JohnDoe-xi3cz]

The beat at the end, if you listen at the beginning of the song where Ruka started, you can hear this beat in background. In my opinion, it's like a loop back to the start of the song as someone knocking and the girls run to the door, the "Forever" loop like the title of the song. It's just my interpretation though.

[@MaryamKhan-rr4zc]

[@sobkimjongil]

Yeah. If Rora is in other girl group, Rora is main vocalist. Rora is that good.

[@southlandcollegerotcunit7581]

Room 401 I think means "unauthorized" (http code '401 unauthorized') and as you can see on the video, it also says "BABYMONSTER MEMBERS ONLY" in the door. they are also holding invitations. It's a genius move.

[@jey9015]

i think 401 means april 1, their debut date

[@jaygragz]

11:06 you are right, that's Rami

[@user-eh3yq9qn5f]

👑👑👑👑👑👑👑 BABYMONS7ER❤ 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@arceliacaspara2039]

I guess the ending is like a teaser to their intro of the same song. I feel that this is to keep up with the theme of 'forever'. How the song loops harmoniously and triumphantly to forever. Ruka's "Alright, ok ok" might be a sort of response to an encore of this same song. The viewer's desire to listen to it playback again.

[@getgreatstuff88getgreatstu8]

Baby Monster slay every performance. Those killer vocals just make every song they sing uniquely Baby Monster. When you say it reminds you of something else, you are wrong. I hear uniquely Baby Monster vibes.

[@ch-ti9cy]

Yes its 80s.YG said it

[@getgreatstuff88getgreatstu8]

Don't forget all the girls are growing up. Their vocals are also maturing. Don't think it was the editing. Pharita did have a closed E in her High note in Stuck in the middle which resulted in a higher pitch. She has opened up her vocals a lot more as she grows up and is able to control her higher belts with more volume. If you watch the final evaluation and pre debut Dream, the 2 High note belters were actually Ahyeon and Rami. But with Ahyeon sick, Pharita took over to carry that responsibility for Stuck in the middle and their Christmas without you cover. But in Forever YG now has 3 High range belters. What a choice.

[@DatVideoDoe]

Loving the new background. Really warms the vibe. More cozy. Would be interested in seeing you react to Bad Villain. They’re a more dance based girl group that just debuted under BigPlanetMade (VIVIZ and Taemin’s company) and one of the members, Emma, was in the WANT crew in Street Woman Fighter S1. Their debut is self-titled, Bad Villain. And they have a b-side mv for Baditude. Plus, 2 pre-debut performance/dance videos (Hurricane and +82) to songs they’ve now released as well.
