My 1st time hearing CIX - Reacting to 'Movie Star, Jungle, Wave & Lovers or Enemies" MVs!

[@yilau_]

Honestly CIX have one of the best discographies in Kpop in my opinion !! Their bsides alongside the title tracks are incredible and I can't get tired of them

[@sky4192]

part of my soul withered away at ‘i don’t know wanna one’

[@marlencabrera8264]

Same he has reacted to other members that were from wanna one. Like I am waiting for him to react to them.

[@SirAustin]

I have been told that I need to check them out ASAP and that I would love their music. So I am adding them to my list!

[@marlencabrera8264]

@@SirAustin trust me you are going to love them, but take your time and enjoy the process. 😘

[@ava5959]

cix is VERY underrated- which is crazy to me because they really have one of the best discographies in kpop in my opinion. Their B-Sides are totally top teir as well- thanks for giving these guys a chance.

Movie star will still be for me best debut of 4th gen group

[@teanis7706]

Their concept is based on Yonghee committing suicid3 (in Save me kill me mv) and also on Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy, a really famous Italian poem from the 14th century. The Divine Comedy actually starts with Dante fainting seeing the girl that he loves, Beatrice, that died really young and he has this dream where he goes through all the layers in order to reach Paradise to meet her again. The Divine Comedy is based on Dante's journey through: Inferno (hell, where sinners are put in different layers based on their sins and are being punished without salvation), Purgatorio (place where they are still being punished but they can be saved and go to Paradiso or can go to Inferno) and Paradiso (paradise, where those with graces go). Jungle is based on the inferno part. The quote at the beginning is the first line of the poem In this mv we can see different kind of punishments, and there is a huge presence of water because all the layers are connected by 3 rivers: Acheronte the water river, Stige boiling blood river, Flegetonte fire river. You can see Yonghee on the boat, the boat is really important because the souls of the sinners are guided to their specific layers by Caronte on a boat. I like to think about this as Yonghee guided to his layer because of what he did, because as we know in Christianity committing is a sin. This concept is present throughout all their mvs, since the debut, Movie star represents the temptation of sins, how these tempt you into following them. And even the quote you saw it is from the poem, it is right at the beginning of the poem. Wave I think wants to represent the overcoming of the different hardships in life, of course how the mv end stands to represent the Save me kill me mv when Yonghee is on a hospital bed. I totally recommend you to watch the Story Films if you are going to check out the Save me kill me mv because you will understand more about the concept. About the last cb they had I still didn't have time to really understand what it is about, I think the girl has to represent Beatrice, so probably what drives them to go on with their lives, so she is a figure that represents our aim in life so she king of programming their minds?. event though I think that is much more evident in 458 the strong drive to reach our goals. I forgot to mention that all of them are in Inferno because all of them did sin, that again will be shown a lot in the Save me kill me mv. Yet again, I recommend you to watch: Save me kill me together with the story films videos Cinema (about purgatorio and them making the tape of their friendship that they are watching in save me kill me) 458 (more focused on Beatrice figure) and a lot more Thanks for the reaction!

[@isabellereffas3679]

I'm glad you're delving into CIX. I became a fan when I saw them at a K-Pop festival and was immediately amazed by Bae Jin-Young dancer extraordinaire. The singer you liked is Kim Seunghun. CIX has a very heavy (as in tragic) lore if you're interested in their universe. Songs you should check are 458, Bad dream, and Numb. Enjoy.

[@meltaegi305]

btw they are all korean, but in that page they posted their chinese names for some reason lol

[@kpopstansara5604]

I always love seeing people's reaction to the ending scene in Wave lol having such a light hearted song then ending with such an intense image. Everyone suddenly goes "Wait, what?" Wave was my first song by CIX I heard and fell in love with them. I 100% recommend watching Wave on It's Live. They are such amazing singers and their personalities shine. I also LOVE Save me, Kill me. It's super emotional, but just a gorgeous song.

[@samsam_gsk]

Movie Star is still one of my top debut songs from a group

[@froggycaden612]

Visuals in movie start with ripped shirt and Wave - Bae Jinyoung Visuals in jungle - Yonghee (hes also the one with the sweeter pretty voice) It is Seunghun (ex yg trainee) that does the high notes! The one that looks tall IS tall and is the maknae! He's 6'2

[@baozibang_TaliKpopAddict]

I love it when you fall head first into a storyline without knowing anything 🤣😜💜

[@Keke88]

I love CIX -- 458 is a great song by them as well. They are really fun to watch and are so talented.

[@nithuloveschillartists1055]

I'm soo glad you got into CIX! ❤ Absolutely wonderful boys. They make some amazing AMAZING songs. Their B-sides are also extremely awesome. Also! Every song CIX puts out is related to their lore (which is extremely tragic but needed) and are soo lyrically amazing ❤ Hope to see more of their songs in your channel! Thankyou for the reaction 💛

[@Jinglism8]

A new CIX reaction? Hell yeah. Stan CIX guys.

[@Setetoto]

Not even stanning cix but movie star is top 5 title tracks all time for me. Its crazy good

[@miyainthegoldenhour]

They are so underrated but their music is so good! I haven't heard a CIX song I didn't like to be honest. Great reaction!

[@Jaehyuns_Dimples]

Yay CIX I love them!!! They make amazing music! Jungle is my all time favorite CIX song when I first heard that song l fell in love with it immediately! Im so excited you decided to check them out!

[@Jaehyuns_Dimples]

Yonghee is the one in Jungle who you said his visuals were really strong that's my boy my bias and I agree he is one of the most beautiful people ive ever seen.. The one in the white ripped shirt in Movie Star was Jinyoung

[@ohmy8887]

Yess omg. CIX is on those groups that pulls me back in every time they have a comeback. They’re just so consistently good and beautiful visuals all around!

[@jw8586]

jungle is my favourite by far and i was conflicted at first too 😭

[@samsam_gsk]

20:33 the one with the ripped shirt in Movie Star is our Bae Jinyoung who is the official Visual :)

[@gabyeol]

omggg please please more cix! they honestly have the best discography in kpop (a few of their songs were supposed to be exo songs... so you know how good they can be)

[@MonaLisa-we4kw]

Jungle is one of my fav songs ever by a BG, like, it's just too good.

[@samsam_gsk]

29:18 well i got some good news for you! lol they did the Studio Choom for this song in the sailor outfits :3

[@SirAustin]

i don't think i can handle that. lmaooo

[@mary_korab]

Movie star is iconic! Jungle is incredible, when i first listen to it, loved immediately, and was surprised people don't like it that much:( Lovers or Enemies, i love it so much too, but not from the first time, third time and it became my new fave song from them!!!

[@lilylvhoneyhun]

Thank you for reacting to CIX🥰i hope you can go to their concert in the USA. They will start their first day of their America tour in New York today ✨🌱

[@tackylovesong]

Yay CIX! They were one of my first kpop concerts. I literally only knew a couple songs so on the drive up to the venue I binge listened to the setlist. When I got to Jungle it was cemented for me that I'd made the right choice to buy the tickets.

[@mooooo5993]

Ughhhh I love Cix ❤ so glad you decided to react to them!! Hopefully we can see more

[@toomultifandomtopickaname3987]

Hope to see more of CIX in the future, they have an immaculate discography.

[@samsam_gsk]

you know what really blows my mind? i keep thinking CIX are older in age because of Movie Star and their discography as a whole but i got to remind myself they legit are the same age as TXT LOL! debuted the same year too. really puts it into perspective how their hold themselves and portray their image

[@amandab4056]

'What you wanted,' 'cinema,' 'Imagine," and '458' are good too!!!

[@byounggonie]

cix genuinely mirrors such good 2nd gen bgs like tvxq, shinee, infinite etc. i think you’ll love so many of their songs, esp b-sides and the members!! im so happy you finally reacted to them 😭😭😭🫶🏽

[@junemoon92]

Yesss I love them! Their sound always leans towards r&b which is amazing, their b-sides are especially amazing. One of the best debut songs imo!!

[@lilylvhoneyhun]

Abandoned all hope who you enters is the referring to Italian classic literature Dante Devine comedy. It also leads to jungle where they wandered and go through the infreno or levels of hells as their karma which were presented on Numb story films. I love CIX lore so much they have so much to offer. Thanks to you I hope more people will get to know them more 🥺

[@수쌤_지원]

Movie star-Numb(죄를 짓다)-Jungle(5개의 지옥)-Cinema(죄를 짓기전 행복했던 시절)-Wave(속죄:지옥에서 연옥의 섬)-458(연옥)-Save me kill me(죄를 회개함,연옥이 끝.천국으로 가기 바로전) -Lovers or enermi (mini album)💜

[@byounggonie]

OMFGGGG ive been waiting for you to react to them for 3 YEARS😭😭😭😭 im so happy

[@수쌤_지원]

Numb,Cinema,458,Save me kill me Mv are very very goooooood💜🙏

[@jessicaday5508]

Thank you for checking out CIX! They are my favorite group and I always love seeing reactors getting into them for the first time. As a big book nerd, their story line is probably my favorite in kpop: based on Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy. I hope you continue to look into them. They are criminally underrated!

[@icecrepegg1225]

Oh you have to check out Cinema. That song is a masterpiece.

[@nataliarodrigues2528]

cix don't miss a song for me since 2019!!!

[@reneeroesler9944]

Jungle is still a masterpiece! I suggest checking out Save Me, Kill Me from last year.

[@samsam_gsk]

OMG SIR AUSTIN!!! WHAT AN AMAZING GIFT YOU HAVE GIVEN ME TODAY

[@meltaegi305]

omg my fav day has come hahaha my fav reactor reacting to my fav group 💘 i totally recommend cinema for a cute bop, pinky swear for a japanese bop and save me kill me for a slow emo bop 😂 hope you are healthy and have a great day!

Haven’t watched yet but This is what I have been waiting for so long. Thank you Austin. You make me cry 🥹🥹🥹 I finally found the motivation to live my life 💖💖💖💖

[@woosyungs]

D1CE (pronounced D1 once) was a 5 group under D1CE Entertainment. They were a very small group that only released 2 mini albums before disbanding, but they were very good.

[@samsam_gsk]

also sljsjd i don't know if anyone mentioned but none of them are chinese lmaoooo sometimes idols get chinese names but they are all korean

[@0dona678]

yess some cix apreciation they horrible underrated 😭 movie star is my fav debut from 2019 they didnt look like rookies at all. also their mvs are crazy I love the visual, jungle is for sure in my top pf best kpop mvs

[@danimonique8824]

-you need another deep dive of CIX with “black out” “458” “numb” “rewind” “move my body”

[@SirAustin]

I did a part 2 with a few of those songs!

[@danimonique8824]

@@SirAustin -ah sorry I realized this was a while ago although I just found it on my timeline. I’ll go check it out

[@M3xchiro]

Hello! Thank you so much for reacting to CIX their literally my ults I’m going to cry😭❤️ Anyways a little information on their storyline, their main story goes off of Dante’s Devine comedy. CIX is pretty story driven as for 2 of their songs ‘Numb’ and ‘Save me kill me’ both have story films and are the most obviously connected to one another. As far as I’m aware I believe CIX’s main story has recently come to an end which followed in their first single release of ‘Lovers or enemies’ I really hope you can find the time to dive into CIX and get the know the members along with their amazing discography, personally all their songs are a win literally no skip discography, their b sides are so good, if I has to recommend a few off the top of my head it would be ‘Young’, ‘everything’, ‘Bend the rules’, and ‘Ice’ :> Ps. If you’re looking for another song with a sexy concept (cough cough) CIX has this really good song called ‘458’ 😇

[@RocketPapi]

React Cix - 458. This song so god!!

[@samsam_gsk]

Made it to the end! Personally I feel like maybe you should check out one more round of songs before getting to a guide? just to see if you would really like to jump into them (even though i really want you to haha). maybe a combination of more title tracks and bsides. they have dance practices for them! Let me recommend my favorite songs of theirs (which is reeeeally difficult because I love their discography): -title tracks: Numb (my favorite rap verse from BX) 458 (i dare say my favorite TT??) Save Me, Kill Me -bsides: What You Wanted (sexy choreo, gives 90s/00s boyband feels?) Imagine Black Out Rewind Bystander Move My Body Change Me Round 2 ICE Off My Mind aaaaand im gonna stop their because I really love so much and should stop myself from putting all their songs haha

[@jameoww]

I love CIX, my favorite group of the Wanna One allumni Even when I think "hmm I don't know if this is for me" I end up addicted to it

[@myoilee]

OMGGG I waited for this dayy they are my favorite bg after skz. hope you contiune to react their songs they have tons of bops

[@kisa1909]

I'll echo a lot of people here and say that CIX has an all around great discography, they really do! I'm not caught up with their releases, so Cinema is still my favorite from them so far. Wanna One was the first group where I bought every single version of every single album lol. Highly recommend them.

[@samsam_gsk]

im making comments as i watch so please excuse me if i come back to make edits haha

[@shane6009]

Yayyyyyy finally!!!! I was waiting for you to find out about them FOR YEARS!!!!!!! I just knew you're gonna love them, they are have such a high quality music!😊 im so happy for you and cant wait for you to react to more of their songs! Their songs are just MATERPIECES!!! also still waiting for you to react to ZEROBASEONE but thats fine i'll be waitig, have fun with CIX Austin!❤ btw my fav cix song is "458" its INSANEEEEEEE but actually almost every song of thei is INSANE (yes including b-sides!!!)

[@Ally-nz4hn]

Hey I just noticed that we have the same birthday 😂😂😂

[@veroniquedambrun7517]

You missed what is probably their best song to date "Cinema"!

[@samsam_gsk]

31:36 i laugh every time someone sees this scene from the MV lol. it's apart of their lore! can be confusing and very sad

[@samicasingal4080]

Sorry to bring up ATEEZ here, but do you plan on reacting to their Coachella performance? I have yet to, but I’m still following your Ateez journey, so I would be down to watch with you

[@melloonnsuunn4703]

It's crazy who much Jinyoung improved from someone who could barely dance and hold a note during produce 101 into a confident idol. On that you should listen to some Wannaone songs "Energetic" is still on repeat even though it came out in like 2017

[@samsam_gsk]

13:52 doing the adlibs is Seunghun!! :D

[@Ofra8191-]

By far, my favorite song by CIX is Save me, kill me. but if you do want to check it out, I'm going to give you a trigger warning in advance. the MV contains themes of s*icide and bullying. it also has short movies before and after it that expend on the story.
