NCT 127 - Sticker - UK K-Pop Fans Reaction

[@sophiebbhl]

ohhh the faces of people watching sticker for the first time will never get old ahahhaha i would say that this song is a real test of your level of neo hahahaahahah

[@totheworld_NCTot25]

Hands up if you like it the 1st listen ✋

[@elizabethseravello2058]

The song Sticker is a "love it or hate it", but THE ALBUM?! The Sticker Album is a 10/10 no song is bad all of them are bangers.

[@johana2627]

This was my first listen to NCT127 back in 2021 and I'm so glad i loved it

[@jasminpizarro6702]

Facts ❤

[@jasminpizarro6702]

All nct song are so underrated cuz all are such a bangers ❤

[@sweetyongf]

Sticker is an incredibly ambitious song that I personally LOVED from first listen. It's so vocally impressive, the beat is SO weird I love it and the choreo is great. This is a perfect indicator of NCT's "Experimental" tag. They truly can and will do anything. "Sticker" was the title track and was confidently promoted for a long time! It won them their most amount of music show wins as well, NCTzens and the general public were very conflicted and divided on how to feel about the song, but it was very successful regardless. NCT 127 are very proud of their experimental style and this era was a lot of fun lol Unfortunately it's also a song that got ridicilous amounts of hate for 127 and NCT as a whole, so some NCTzens are pretty protective of this song, but most of us understand the adjustment needed when hearing it for the first time.

[@markleebaby3840]

Same here I am in love with this song

[@markleebaby3840]

NCT 127 is the Most Experimental unit so 🥰

[@tendoheart9928]

They won 10 music shows with this song and many czennies love it 🏆

[@vanadu238]

I was so confused by the song until I heard it live. The fans go crazy for it at concerts and their encore stages on music shows have become legendary because they sound so good.

[@katy8605]

I describe this song as the kpop equivalent of pat your head and rub your belly at the same time.

[@kvabubbles]

“As soon as my brain wraps around what’s happening-“ is literally Sticker in a nutshell. There is no predictable melody to the song, which makes it disorienting on first listen. However once you understand the path the song takes, your brain can relax and soak in all the glory 😂

[@Nia_vailable]

Sticker was very controversial 😂 because of the beat or the flute. It's very trippy and takes some getting used to, but it grew on me, and hopefully, it will grow on you too. It's like a roller coaster ride.

[@yiyi4252]

the tweet that says “i want my 127 music to be incomprehensible i want the first two seconds of the instrumental to cause a nuclear meltdown i want to listen to it in a fugue state while my brain runs frantic calculations trying to figure out how this could possibly be a song” …yes

[@texasteen]

26 members includes Wish and does not include the 3 members that left. So currently 26 members!

[@texasteen]

I literally hated this song the first 2 times. It ended up being my top spotify song of the year.😅

[@sonset88]

The only way to describe the NCT(Neo Culture Technology) sound is Neo. The live performance is exactly the same. Flute and all.

[@EXOsNoona]

And it goes SO HARD live!!! I love the czennie energy during a live performance of sticker!!

[@havok97818]

12:48 One of the long standing memes about Johnny is that he just doesn't seem to like shirts 😂I remember a comment when Ayyy Yo came out where someone was like "Finally 127 has earned enough money for Johnny to buy several shirts" lmao

[@yodreamsxz]

I love watching people first time react to Sticker. This is NCT to its core I LOVE IT

[@Nini001]

21:00 NOOOO don’t try to make short videos we like long videos, when you express your feelings about the song or juste random thing!!! More than reactors that juste react to the song and said anything!! Please keep making king video ( even longer lmaooo)

[@nona_yehet]

Sticker won 9 times for 9 consecutive weeks in the music show. They also performed this song in their 2nd concert tour Neo City: The Link.

[@nads4242]

I will always be queen's Sticker biggest defender but of course my brain is very Neo wired indeed. When we went to see 127 in Thailand with Unity, my only regret was that Sticker wasn’t on the setlist 🥲💚. The only bigger regret about the setlist was that Gimme Gimme wasn’t there also (my fav 127 song) so I would love to see your reaction to that! Ah, Sticker, the masterpiece that you are 👏🏻.

[@richhalloweenpumpkin_tealatte]

girl it took like 3 listens for me to officially and fully comprehend Sticker but lemme tell you. when you do, to put it quite bluntly, it's the biggest ass thrower frfr like genuinely it's also just such a good and ambitious song they also won a ton of awards for sticker 💪💪🍾 🍾🍾

[@SerenitySoonish]

I never seemed to hear what everyone else did when they said this was hard to understand or didn't flow, for me it just makes sense. Whereas Chain and Firetruck took me ages to like! Chain is like asmr to me haha

[@Rosie-bw4uu]

the backlash this song got was wild, i loved it first listen till someone pointed out the piano lmaooo but the ALBUMMMM!!!!

[@seerdaf7246]

Omgg Sticker is the boss level of Neo genre lolll 😂. Even the members were speechless too at first 😂. The thing is, every person on youtube who is actually in the music industry, like producers, sound engineers, musical students etc., they all loved it and thought Sticker was genius. So i always see it like Sticker is this abstract painting that most of us just don't understand the beauty of, but to people who know art, it's ART and it's EXPENSIVE. And because, guess what, this era, this album, is what gives them Daesang, like the highest "grammy" award in Korea, and their album sales were also the highest if i'm not mistaken. Sooo....there's that.

[@sweetyongf]

The 26 members includes Wish and does not include Lucas, Sungchan or Shotaro (all 3 are previous members, but no longer in the group so no they are not counted). If you're interested in the trend of members/units over the years here's a little break down lol 2016 (NCT Debut Year) - 14 members and 3 units (NCT U, NCT 127 and NCT Dream). Taeil, Taeyong, Yuta, Doyoung, Ten, Jaehyun, Winwin, Mark, Renjun, Jeno, Haechan, Jaemin, Chenle and Jisung. 2017 - 15 members and 3 units. All previous members PLUS Johnny. 2018 - 18 members and 3 units. All previous members PLUS Kun, Jungwoo and Lucas. 2019 - 21 members and 4 units (WayV debut). All previous members PLUS Xiaojun, Hendery and Yangyang. 2020 - 23 members and 4 units. All previous members PLUS Shotaro and Sungchan. 2021 - 22 members and 4 units. No new members added, but Lucas's hiatus started here and obviously he never came back. 2022 - 22 members and 4 units. No changes. 2023 - 20 members and 5 units (NCT DoJaeJung debut). Sungchan and Shotaro were officially removed from the group and added to new SM boy group Riize. 2024 - 26 members and 6 units (NCT Wish debut). All previous members PLUS Sion, Yushi, Riku, Jaehee, Ryo and Sakuya.

[@havok97818]

Sticker is definitely an either you like it or you don't song. It took me a couple of listens before it clicked with me, but I definitely can understand why others hate it. Even by NCT's standards this was very experimental.

[@pinkbloodsquad7766]

Sticker is so fun to listen. The more you listen to it with headphone you will find new elements. Impressive vocal that no one dare to cover, very hard technique. It has a unique mixed beat but so addictive if it grows on you. The rap part is fire as always, loveeee the choreo

[@nohemicastillo4487]

Gimme Gimme ❤😊

[@lulashepard3253]

1) I love “Back Door.” It’s one of my favorites. 2) Apropos of nothing, at one point during your discussion of the mv I felt the need to look up the word “discordant.” People aren’t kidding when they say you’ll either love or hate “Sticker.” It is hands down their most challenging single. All the same, ambivalence also seems to be a common reaction. Me, I like it, though it doesn’t make my top 5. I actually listened to it recently without watching the video, and boy, the instrumental arrangement is weird! I knew it was odd, but it really does scramble your brain, and I say this as someone who loves the piano on it. There’s even a video of the group listening to the demo, and you can see most them wondering if they could do it. Which brings me to my point: This is one of the very best groups in K-pop. All due respect to the other fine groups out there, but NO ONE ELSE could have gotten away with this one, their most successful in terms of music show wins.

[@ИзидаАвдалян]

When NCT GUIDE???!!💚

[@rsn5012]

Well this one is quite the Neo sound... It's definitely not everyone's cup of tea , as a NCTzen I still can't get into it ,but hey this won them awards and is well liked by many. The flute and some vocal mixing sound kinda wonky here and there but it's NCT they do what no one dares to 💚

[@thezircadia]

"This was great!" meow ribbbit meow meowwww Sticker is soooooooooooo yeah it's one of my favorite songs. I could tell you were getting it Simon. Your brain just fills it in once you've heard the whole song - especially more than once! But yeah, like Sticker is one that needs time. HAHAHA

[@someonestophimwiththatdamn6150]

also - they got this great thing called "uncuts", where they show the behind the scenes of the recording of songs/albums, or them learning the dance. Great way to get to know their talent and personality! (the recording behind for sticker actually shows them hearing the demo for it for the first time 😉)

[@hortbeck]

This chorus actually gets stuck in my head

[@thechigirl2498]

I would highly suggest listening to this song with Headphones. This song heavily divided the fandom. It literally still gets brought up by antis to this day as well. Whenever you hear "Incominngggg" in the beginning of an NCT 127 song (and EXO) that's the producer tag of Dem Jointz, FYI. Him and NCT are a match made in heaven. He really understands and executes their Neo sound well.

[@drenkard]

Agree Sticker was a statement!

[@retro_mxxn3334]

Sticker was the one song that made me get into NCT! I literally never heard anything like it but omg it was so good I have to play it full volume every time it’s on

[@stellp2956]

2021 release and it's still like nails on a chalk board for me 🤣 saving grace how stunning they all look ! This was first and only song of theirs that had this effect on me - thankfully !

[@joannafisher3391]

You have to remember 127 are the most experimental unit of them all . This is a song you either love or hate . I personally love it the more you hear it the better it gets . It also won them a lot of top music awards

[@Jennielrc]

This song is a banger

[@remixedv]

Sticker is a HOOD track. Culturally it encompasses what I call a nikka night of chaos. Every instrument sonically takes me to a era in music, it's remnants of a era lived. This track is a journey in life and sound. The instrumentation causes confusion if you can't find it's placement. Demjointz has placed the 1800's, 50's, 90's, 00's in one song. It's a piece of art because he wrote a story rhythmically. Great reaction guys. Many have a hard time with Sticker but the nostalgia is beautiful.

[@cosgirl22]

Those reaction looks in the thumbnail are appropriate for Sticker lol

[@bruhlognasandwich7584]

I had been a casual listener and semi kept up with nct since 2018 and this is actually the song that made me delve deeper, but i can definitely see how other people have the opposite opinion on it lol,, its an acquired taste

[@ExoLisa783]

This is why we called them "NCT" they have unik song❤

[@210-ws9kk]

love this song, it’s epic. Maybe i’m just too used to kpop by now, but I didn’t even flinch when I heard this song, it didn’t feel that crazy or strange to me LOL 😂

[@LeleHolmes]

STICKER IS AN ANTHEM

[@suzycloud]

It's a "statement" very well said! 👌

[@otlileseloane4022]

It will definitely grow on you 🤣

[@cosgirl22]

Love your longer videos!

[@seerdaf7246]

Yeah, they barely did live with this song, because i guess it was sooo technical and quite hard. You can watch the recording videos and see just how much effort they put in this song and they completely nailed it. But they did do the live singing for the encore on MCountdown (music show) which i think is hands down one of the best live encore songs ever. They sound EXACTLY just like the studio version, because there's just so little instrumentation on the background and minimal autotunes i guess, they just sound sooo goood

[@totheworld_NCTot25]

For NCT, if you don't like it the 1st listen, go for 2nd and 3rd. Their song is not easy listening it's NEO and I love it about them 💚💚💚

[@minimasuo]

When I first heard Sticker, I was so disappointed for them because I thought it was going to be a big flop and I didn't like it. The joke was on me - they won music shows with it 10 times and after a few listens, I loved it. Now I can't live without it. 😂

[@arickaleeann]

sticker is that girl

[@jburditt6028]

It took me a few listens to like this song, now i love it.

[@tea_jayy]

Im firmly in the "love it" camp.

[@MinSung931]

Nct 127 is my fav Nct subunit not only are they all amazing dancers/singers and rappers but my 3 nct biases are also in the subunit. Also like others have said sticker was controversial and does take q few listened to get uses to it but when you do u realise it's actually a very catchy and amazing song

[@Ohhlinaabbh9]

This song is my guilty pleasure😂 I honestly love it

[@ИзидаАвдалян]

More NCT!!💚

[@NCT127stan]

lol I love sticker at first listen when it came out. At time I didn’t know other people didn’t like it😂

[@iljaeftw]

HAHAHA STICKER REACTION WILL ALWAYS BE EPIC 🤣

[@Enferis-wm6vm]

HAHAHAHA Michael you can't get away from this!

[@aictopus]

Sticker is my favorite NCT title

[@Shree0410]

It's weird but i liked flute sound in sticker 😂💚💚 Only Nct can pull off this song and I'm proud of it that we got sticker 🥰💚💚💚

[@maec_ch_6519]

I personally love Sticker but I don't really mind those who do not like the song because I know ilichils are at the front of those people hahaha also, I started really loving this song when they did it in their encore stage for music shows.

[@cmq23]

It's hilarious how much 127 so obviously do not like Sticker at all. Omitted it from Killing Voice, their title track medley for their Fact Check comeback show, and The Unity tour, too. 🤣

[@sabiaakthar1613]

I loved mark rap .i acc ended up loving sticker like a year later😂

[@EXOsNoona]

It’s funny because 2 Baddies had to grow on me (now I love it!) much more than Sticker! I loved it upon first listen 💕

[@vllrrlvlnc]

I loved this song on first listen, and I think it's a combination of 1) I honestly don't listen to background instrumentation very much?? like my brain catches on to melodies, and 2) the vocals are SOO good. Doyoung growling 'baby' in that first verse sold me, I didn't care about the rest.

[@zeenblue]

Song of the year 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@castielbruinoxmoon]

sticker is quite a song fr its ambitious and kinda experimental. And bc of that not everyone liked it, it lacks of a supported instrumental base and its in constant change, also with all that sounds coming up w/o any pause seems too much for a first listening. So harmonies and vocals are the main character here, its a fun song if you're open to songs with that structure but yeah, its confusing and thats why i loved it since day 1

[@garuna14]

If you do nct day please include wayv they are part of nct too 😭

[@jkwiyowo]

You two should reac about their reactions. HAHAHAHAHAHA this was the song that we were requesting last January for their concert here, but they really hate the song. HAHAHAHAHAHA you both should reac to their reactions. Its hilarious. HAHAHAHAHA Anyways, they did an encore for this song, love, without any backtrack. Funny thing is, whenever there's an encore controversy, a lot of people, or knetz in particular are going back to their Sticker encore, bc they did it effortlessly.

[@mandypinguy]

they are 26 members without the ex members and with wish included

[@hortbeck]

After party 🎉

[@trisha40532]

🐸🐸🐸 I love Sticker but I do understand that there is a sticker divide. Sorry it hurt your brain Kerry!

[@HeiwaTori]

no cos 127s 1st lsiten to sticker is 127 PANICKING & tayong having the time of his life (hes got NEO taste, Around, Bring The Noize, Mad Dog are all some of his favourite songs, basically he likes Hitchhikers beats) kzbin.infolGmG7k-dxOY I personally only was like what on ty opening verse after that I was all in (but I like most songs in general ita very hard for me to find songs I dislike, like I cant actively name any of any genre) but it was really funny cos people were like ?? then the ENTIRE kpop industry was just vibing like hell, i weas actually hilarious to witness in real time

[@sugawifu1782]

NCT 127❤ luv Haechan and TY

[@clarazxd]

DANCE PRACTICE PLEASE

[@lorriwbu]

Can you react to Alpha by Boy Story please

[@lisajihyo]

Please react to Twice Killing Voice!! 😊

[@bonzina]

🐸🐈

[@lilyrose0116]

I cannot listen to this song unless its one of the live versions. For me, it's the autotune. They pitched it too high and it was not necessary because their vocals are wonderful without it. I have the same problem with many 2nd gen songs that overused autotune but is amazing live, SuJu and Shinee especially.

[@tre7080]

You guys talking at the end of the song in the middle of those vocals is inasnely disrespectful. I hope you guys listened back to the end of it to fully appreciate them.

[@someonestophimwiththatdamn6150]

this one was fun! another fun one would be their song punch, but for a different reason - we seemingly collectively forgot how it went after the first time hearing it. that was a strange thing... but i love it.
