NCT 127 ' Limitless' MV #2 Performance Version REACTION | An experience is what this was!

[@osekhilome]

Honestly, one of their best songs for me.

[@Nat-fq8hc]

Me too. It was one of the first of their songs I heard when I started my Kpop journey and the harmony still gives me goosebumps!

[@fufu-jh]

ikr and people very rarely recommend it to others .... why u deaf or what it's a HUGE BOP tho

[@Kalakeiko]

@@fufu-jh Likely because of the styling and people being worried that they might scare off new fans or get the boys cancelled for what wasn't even their choice to begin with unfortunately...

[@sweetyongf]

Yeah the fashion for this era was...something. This and Firetruck were their worst fashion eras. Their red carpet looks were even worse. Unpopular opinion, besides Winwin's unfortunate ca of locs, I actually like all the looks here lmao it was unique and fun to me. But the song remains their BEST title track in my opinion, this song is fantastic! The whole song, the japanese version and the mini album are STELLAR! We suggest the performance mv bc a lot of fans don't really like the official mv (rough ver.) bc of how its shot and edited, and the other version is the Japanese mv which is still good, it just came out a few months later, so I definitely suggest that! Mark's hair is actually naturally curly, he says he doesn't like his natural though so it's usually straightened, but this was most definitely permed for him lmao Winwin lord...I was praying for him, he kept those locs in for a while too god. They had different stylists back then, that's the only reason I could possibly think as to why they looked like that, besides that because the song was "urban" they were trying to show an "urban" look which...yeah no. Also, this was the song, Doyoung and Johnny debuted in 127 with!

[@rjkpop]

Oh wow really??? I need to rewatch this again

[@ivnliza2802]

firetruck is one of my favorite eras :(

[@caielarmbrister8341]

So its just just me who kinda liked the firetruck fits 😔

[@Kalakeiko]

Agreed. It's one of my favourite songs of theirs and I love the choreography and stage performance so I HATE what the stylists did with their hair, they were just setting them up to get cancelled and hated on for something they had no say in the first place smh

[@MissYellowCat]

I just simply pretend that the hairs of this era don't exist 😎. Idk what their stylist was thinking but I'm glad they got it together

[@kpoplea6170]

Limitless as a song and the whole album is still my favourite from 127 to this day. Limitless in terms of style was an absolute disaster sadly. While I had listened to NCT casually before this, Limitless hit me like a ton of bricks and I knew I needed to delve deeper and stan :)

[@shhhh5895]

Tbh Japanese limitless is the best.

[@cookoo8906]

No, it's not that good

[@ialwaysconfused]

sm did 127 so dirty in this era. gives them literally one of their best titles tracks and then gives them the jankiest music video and some of the worst hairstyling in all of kpop. this mini album though>>>> ! truly perfection! but all the positives really got over shadowed by the questionable choices in styling and music video production.

[@1004liz]

I actually like the Rough ver. of Limitless the most because of how fascinating and weird the MV is

[@siiamarockstar]

Me too, I like rough version the most

[@pbsj6409]

me too

[@suzycloud]

Yeah, I completely understand your point of view. Trust me, it's the majority. Sorry you had to witness that but do give them a second chance with their Japanese mv. THAT'S what we all should have gotten. They slay in visuals and it's perfection trust me! Thanks for your honest reaction!! 👍 💚

[@rjkpop]

Always! And thanks for watching!!🤗💙

[@nakanana3]

As a black nctzens watching other black people react to this makes me laugh cause all of our reactions ARE THE SAME, “JUST WHY”😭 and this is such a good song but these DAMN HAIRSTYLES ARE NOT IT 😭😭 and no we clowned them for it dw

[@xmamajossx]

This is my favorite 127 song! I love Taeyong’s vocal fry. Like I’ve commented on a past video, there is a meaning behind the red and blue. Blue=Reality Red=Dream. But save all that for after you’ve completed the videos before you try to understand the concept. If you do want a little info, NCTmentary and the NCT 2020: The Past and Future videos are helpful.

[@teddybearjelly]

Limitless is one of my top 10 NCT songs. I personally liked Taeyong's hairstyle here. He just looks good on any hair, even without any. LOL

[@salma-xl6wb]

2:41 "okay thank you bae for having-" got cut off and shocked by jaehyun's indescribable hair. before i watch this video i just prayed that you won't be frightened by their hairs LOL

[@rjkpop]

[@very_cherryx]

yea the styling and fashion for this era was absolutely horrible (for fire truck too). I’m convinced their stylists hated them

Ia actually like the japanese ver. more than the original, not even because of the styling and hairstyles, i just like it better 🤷‍♀️

I might be in the minority here, but I loved the rough version. It’s actually one of my favourite videos. And the song is awesome.

[@julianaves4435]

SAMEEE, THE ROUGH>>>>>> taeil in the rough r something

[@lovefan81]

Just re-watched and it’s also one of the few videos where Winwin is visible a lot.

[@allons_y1001]

Limitless #1 is the Rough Cut, it's aesthetically kinda cool and funky/weird (same hair/fits tho)... Limitless #2 is the performance video (w/ all the bad hair)... and the third just titled Limitless is the full fledged music video as well as being the Japanese version (and has MUCH better hair). 😄

[@katietotha80]

I TOLD YOU! Lol I actually love the song, but the stylists did them dirty on this one.

[@heyvkj2412]

This song deserves so so so so so so much more🥲 I just pretend I’m blind to their styling in the mv but the SONG and DANCE. Top-tier. Also you’ve quickly become one of my fav reactors! So open, honest, respectful and your comments are always super relatable and funny HAHAH.

[@rjkpop]

I appreciate that so much haha! I’ve been listening to this song by itself more as well. It seems to be a huge favorite of a lot of people!

My all time favorite by 127 along with Superhuman👏🏾👏🏾🔥

[@ilovekpop3755]

Limitless is a very good song, one of my favorite songs Nct 127. I really love these guys, but hairstyles... In short, not their best images in the music videos, it seems to me. But it's okay. I highly recommend checking out Nct 127 Wakey-wakey. This song is crazy. The choreography is complex but beautiful. And the visuals... They are all incredibly beautiful there. From live performances I also highly recommend Mad City (Taeyong, Mark, Jaehyun), it's a very powerful trio and no less powerful song. It is unlikely that the video will be blocked, since this video is from their performance on the tour and was not published on some kind of official account.

[@BringSugaTangerineTheDocuments]

i am not gunna say a thang about my babies we knw they dnt always have say so with all their styles 🙂 but its CLEARLY and older vid lol

[@vanlalhmangaihzuali8842]

[@Roronoa_Zoro93]

If they had a better mv the song probably would be much more famous I think... Like more pleasingly MV would get more views

[@Kalakeiko]

Agreed. It's one of my favourite songs of theirs and I love the choreography and stage performance so I HATE what the stylists did with the styling. Even worse, so many people have and are still cancelling them for the hairstyles and calling them racist and disgusting as if they had any say in it and liked how they looked smh... Winwin especially did not deserve to be put in that situation and I feel like crying whenever I think about it ngl

[@siiamarockstar]

I love this song and it's still in my playlist while driving till now, but I appreciate the aesthetic of the rough version MV the most ^^

[@GopherCakeStuff]

One of my favorite songs. They managed to make a group of handsome guys look terrible 🤣 there are some vids where I wonder what stylists are thinking about.

[@Rimouski87]

Honestly I love the hair I love SM artist and this crazy hair I am used to it

[@noocoo9117]

Limitless is one of their best songs. It's probably one of my top 5 from 127. I remembered that their stylist trying to aim for Korean hip-hop style for this era but Idk if it hit the target or not CMIIW. But overall I actually kinda like their looks, it was a bold choice and the neos just being neos and it is surely a memorable era, it's like "oh yeah that era". But, that's just my opinion.

[@rjkpop]

Totally respect that, and I wonder if these looks are something that will grow on me in the future when I look back. Anything is possible🤗💙

[@noocoo9117]

@@rjkpop But I kinda get you, because I was speechless back then, but the song and the unique choreo make it easier for me to swallow. Also, the song itself has a meaning for NCT in general because you know they're limitless and growing, want to change the world, etc. Back then NCT system was rejected by the K-pop fandom, even the media hate them. But this song was like the "fight song" for them. So because of other good aspects about this era, whenever I watch limitless mv rather than focusing on their style, I feel the reminiscence about their struggle in the k-pop industry until NCT 2020 happened. 🤗💙

[@chitsu1903]

Limitless Song Is My Favourite Song.Thank You So Much.

[@xanseviera]

NCT can pulled off everything but still looks good, I think it matched with their old school 90s hiphop vibes though XD

[@kristinamalago5799]

This is one of my all time favorite songs by 127, if you listen to both of the different versions alone by themselves without the MV’s the songs will hit differently. The MV’s really didn’t do the songs justice, I do though like the dancing in this MV if you can get passed the hair and some of the outfits.

[@FlagGov]

Pentagon's Yuto was given almost the exact same hair as Jaehyun once. He said it looked like dried squid. Now that's the only thing I can think of when I watch this.

[@rjkpop]

And this is also the one of the reasons why i love the Japanese version better. Their hair looks normal in a stylish way. PLEASE PLEASE CHECK OUT THE JAPANESE VERSION OF LIMITLESS

[@multifandomchica4life397]

Hair and style aside..I love this song!! We all have bad hair eras..🤡 I believe it was just experimental on their part..Other artists had done crazy styles before but this just didn't work out the same for them..

[@justincase214]

The reaction is understandable, i avoided the MV for so long bcs of their hairstyle but the song in my opinion remains one of their best title tracks. You have to watch the Japanese version of MV, its so dope you will love it. I want to say the first version (rough) was actually good to me. It was creative, raw and aesthetically pleasing. I think u should definitely check it out and judge the creative direction of both rough version and the japanese version in one sitting.

[@oraoy1]

This is my all-time 127 favorite song and album. Don't worry for what you feel toward their fashion. Everyone understand you :-)

[@cmq23]

My fave 127 song in existence, but lol the styling was just something I want to forget.

[@serenity8739]

I think the stylist had a grudge at this point 😂 such a shame such a good song is tainted with these memories haha. Thankfully now their stylists are killing it for the most part.

[@veryneo7915]

Actually, I must confess that I liked that hairstyle on Taeyong, Jaehyun, and WinWin, the whole aesthetic of the MV as well, but I prefer the rough version because I find it nostalgic, interesting and some shots are beautiful. Also, unlike the majority of the fandom, I really liked most of the weird fashion they wear in Firetruck's era... I apologize for my guilty pleasures TT

[@toritorisan95]

Please consider reacting to the Japanese version of Limitless; it is such a great song without the distraction of their hairstyles like in this version. Also, please check out Wakey Wakey, especially the dance practice...it such a unique choreo.

It’s definitely surprising but Idk it kinda works for me🤣 I really enjoyed it.

Love the song, one of my top song from them, but the Japanese version makes it easiest to watch. They had the best hair and fashion for that. I do like the Rough version but their hair and fashion is so 😬😬😬 My first impression of Jaehyun was from Limitless too. Glad the Regular teaser saved him.

[@jasminenoel8472]

I know this is 1yr ago but I’m just rewatching your Nct reactions. I always skip limitless reactions because of 2nd hand embarrassment from the styling. I know how dumbfounded I was when I first saw it so watching other people see it for the first time… yeah I couldn’t😂 It’s crazy how much different their style is now. I feel like back then their team had an idea of “What’s edgy/different” and completely failed at the execution. ANYWAYS, I’m finally going to watch this reaction😅 bc Limitless is such a good song besides the visuals😪

Limitless slaaaaaaaaaaaps!!! Legendary song! But this MV is unfortunate. Their looks in the Japanese MV are much better, since it was filmed later. They changed their stylist team around that time, I suppose. Their outfits and hair improved so much, starting at Regular era. So unique, yet trendy. In spite of the questionable fashion, the song is superior. Queen Limitless.

Even tho the styling was NEXT LEVEL HORRIBLE, Limitless remains my favorite NCT song of all time!

[@milindawilson9175]

NCT-127's "Limitless" is also part of their dream concept. Everything NCT does is connected to their concept which is all centered around dreams, dreaming or being in a dream state and it is also thought to be connected to EXO and SuperM's storyline. All of NCT's MVs are based on that dream concept. I think the feel you get from the MV is actually really the feel of being trapped in a dream and being in that foggy reality, in an in between state, when you are half in and half out of a dream. All of what you see happening is happening within a dream. What you just watched was the performance version of "Limitless" so you heard the song in Korean. There is no story because it is meant to just show off the choreography. But if you watch the regular MV, which has more of a storyline, you will hear the song in Japanese. "Limitless" is one of NCT-127's Japanese songs. The vocal lineup and choreography is a little different in the Japanese version, because, for one, it features NCT-127's Japanese member Yuta slightly more prominently. (But Yuta is still doesn't have enough lines even in the Japanese version.) Fun fact: "Limitless" came out in January 2017 and it's Johnny's official debut in NCT and Doyoung's debut as a member of NCT-127 (Doyoung first debuted in "The 7th Sense" as a member of NCT-U, but he was not part of NCT-127's debut). So now NCT-127 has 9 members at this point. Also, the term for what Taeyong does with his voice in "Limitless" is called a vocal fry. It is an actual singing technique.There is no computerization of his voice. A vocal fry uses the lowest register of the voice to vibrate the vocal cords while speaking or singing. Taeyong has a full range when it comes to singing and rapping and it's one of the reasons why he gets so many lines in NCT and SuperM songs because they can do so much with his voice.
