NEW NCT U REACTION- NCTU Universe (Let's Play Ball) HIGHER FACULTY

[@nicole_rogue]

The guy cutting up is Shotaro. He was added with Resonance. And the guy with the high notes was Xiaojun from WayV

[@estefanytwo8200]

A HUGE BOP! this song is like 90's love's brother... if i remember correctly, that song was what started your whole k-pop journey on this channel! :D

[@yuomei518]

i remember that momment :o

@@yuomei518 same.. can't believe it's been like 11 months already

[@Elena-hk2lr]

The guy you are talking about is Shotaro! He joined NCT in 2020, his debut was Make A Wish. One of NCT’s and K-pop’s best dancers, hands down

[@anguilita_morenita]

actually make a wish was his debut

[@Elena-hk2lr]

@@anguilita_morenita oh sorry that’s what I meant! I literally typed “comeback” absentmindedly, thank you for the correction 👍🏻❤️

[@aubreys.1099]

The person who you liked dancing at the beginning was Shotaro, and the one singing that you like was Xiaojun.

[@piliredondo2661]

Crazy good dancer: Shotaro, Japanese, no fixed unit yet (waiting for the new subunit in 2022), debuted in Make a Wish 2020. The blue hair guy, the one you asked “who is that?” singer: Xiaojun, WayV main vocalist, Chinese, the guy with the bright yellow hair in Make a Wish. Jaemin has bright orange hair here.

[@dejunaeter]

The one you liked singing a lot with blue hair is Xiaojun! He was in NCT U Make A Wish title track too with the blonde/yellow hair. He and Doyoung did backing vocals too!

[@lauravanessarodrigueznaran1909]

The members in this song are: Doyoung, Jungwoo, Mark, Xiaojun (WayV), Jeno (NCT Dream), Haechan, Jaemin (NCT Dream), Yang Yang (WayV) and Shotaro, he is "new" he was introduced last year with Make a Wish, doesn't have his own/fixed unit yet, probably his unit is going to debut in 2022. Yang Yang is the one with mint/green hair Xiaojun is the one with dark blue hair Jaemin is the one with orange hair Jeno is the one with gray/purple hair Shotaro is the one who is killing the choreo Kenzie and Dem Jointz worked in this song alongside with another great producers, and Mark is credited a lyricist

"Vote for DO " And we do) my man won about four awards (Actor awards) . He is not only genius vocalist. He is great actor. He is perfect. I wanna fight for him (I don't even live in Korea)

[@cheesySOS]

yes

[@aerilee7371]

The Album, is a no skip album. It has RNB hiphop vibes. I'm excited for you're reaction. I think both of you will like almost all the songs.

[@jburditt6028]

Shotaro has been universally loved from the moment his name was released as a new member. His dancing is so intense but he's such a soft guy personally that he stokes the protective instinct. Our baby #Otter.

[@0kstar259]

I love this shotaro appreciation

[@aerilee7371]

The person what was dancing is Shotaro, he debuted last year, he's from Japan. The one singing ang killing the high notes is Xiaojun, he is from Wayv, he is Chinese.

[@chrystalamos8273]

The member that is acting up is Shotaro. He is one of the newest members from last year. He is not in a unit yet. With 1 or 2 of the members having military duty coming up in a year or so, he might be in a unit soon. When the members were reacting to the song, Mark said that it took them 3 days to shoot the video

[@beccuhhhcpo7536]

The guy you asked about @5:40 , that's xiaojun! hes a main vocalist in wayv! (Also my ult bias) and the dancer in gray is shotaro, hes the newest member in NCT!

[@rania3382]

Wait until you check NCT 2021 beautiful ,this album is all kill ,all the tracks are killers .kings

[@talialeon9]

They all killed it tbh. We got an epic entrance from Mark with Jaemin and a lit duo with Jeno in the rap, but YANGYANG also was there to put his flavor with his style of rap and had so several adlibs and that mini break dance towards the end of him was chef's kiss. The vocals from our vocalists Xiaojun hitting those high notes and runs, Doyoung dude ever since "Make A Wish" something happened to him and I'm here for it, Haechan with those honey-velvety like vocals ♡, and Jungwoo he was feeling himself on this track pfft. Then Shotaro just flexing on his dance skills. The visuals from all these 9 lads were off the chain, but then again it's NCT where every single member is a visual ☆.☆

[@heyyou2834]

This is a bop. Please react all track of NCT universe. All tracks are insane! Thanks a lot.

[@AnaKarlaAguilera]

Hi, wanted to let you know that they did react to all tracks unfortunately they got blocked but they have them up on their Patreon.

[@heyyou2834]

@@AnaKarlaAguilera thanks.

[@SeleneLedezma]

The guy you mentioned first for his dancing is Shotaro! You might not recognize him cause he's only been in 2 Music Videos before (Make a Wish and Resonance) He is an incredible dancer and has been dancing since he was 5 years old, and he only joined SM last year and debuted only months after in NCT 2020. He doesn't have a subunit yet so we haven't seen much from him but what we've got it's still impressing he's so good!!

[@mrygrccsqt9540]

I'm so happy you noticed Shotaro's dance moves!

[@mochaangel1967]

Experimental is what SM is all about.

[@anderson_3622]

He is Shotaro! He's one of the members of the "make a wish" unit last year but still waiting for the fixed unit

[@011mph]

the insane dancer is Shotaro. He's one of the new members that was added last year and he was a professional dancer before he debuted in NCT!

[@bean3702]

People already answered about Xiaojun and shotaro, so I thought it might be helpful for ya'll to know that the one in the green hair is YangYang. He is the main rapper of WayV and you guys seemed to like him a lot in Turn back time and moonwalk!! Additionally, the robotic effect you mentioned is probably a bit of distortion and really dissonant, close harmonies. It's like playing Do and Re at the same time, so it creates a crunchy sound!!

[@electricsocketxx]

I loved the musicality/elements of this song - the beat, the chords, the harmonies and vocals, rap flow, song-structure, etc. And this NCT unit delivered in all the areas you noted: musically, visually, dance choreography and performance-wise.

[@chiluu1774]

What's even more crazy is my boys only practiced the dance pre recording 3 days but still ate it all up

[@ClassicallyMish]

The singer in question was XiaoJun from WayV and the dancer in the gray is Shotaro who debuted with NCTU Resonance 2020. He choreographed that dance

[@jaeminlover3000]

the guy dancing that caught your attention was shotaro! he was one of the new members added during resonance era (nct 2020)

[@tulipmars]

Shotaro is a dance machine

[@kayh.5095]

That vocalist is Xiaojun (Chinese) from another NCT sub unit WayV. He was in Make a Wish as well. Pls also check some WayV's songs like Miracle (only a short track video available), Kick Back, Turn Back Time, Bad Alive, etc.

[@ziyan1499]

pleeease react to OK! and birthday party!! they’re probably two of the best songs nct put out this year. universe really pulled up with the banging bsides

[@Janbae127]

Once I figured out the structure of the song it really helped me love the song more. I don't know the technical terms, but this is what I used to help myself remember the organization of the different parts. A, B, C, D A, B, C, D E, D, A A-hip hop chant- let's play ball B- smooth groove verse C- mini bridge- reminds me of Queen D- Pop Chorus- your my star, my victory Repeat A, B, C, D E- full bridge D- Pop Chorus- your my star, my victory A- Hip hop chant- let's play ball

Thats shotaro one who got a solo dancing shot. The one whom u said his hand was waving in the air.

[@leehaechans]

Always love watching your nct reactions !! You guys are amazing ❤❤ btw the guy you said dances well in gray is Shotaro ! Japanese member born in 2000 he was a professional dancer before joining NCT so he's really EATING whenever he dances ! He joined NCT during NCT 2020 and was in Make A Wish, and this is his first comeback in a year ! (+ you also mentionned Jaemin being in there, it was the one with orange hair)

[@leehaechans]

Oh and the high notes guy was Xiaojun from WayV !

[@sena3089]

the one in the grey is shotaro!

[@dialasukhon7015]

Also nct 127 - my van. From their Regular album youre gonna love it. Its a markyong rap track and it's different from what they usually do

[@DeniseAyala]

My favorite so far !! You'll love the album

[@osaevbiewoghiren2761]

Love your reaction vids!! Wow if you haven't yet, check out the new song by NCT U called OK! So nice

[@thatclairosong4161]

Fun fact. Mark wrote this with Kenzie

[@JP-wh8bo]

This is in my playlist.inckuding Eartquake, Miracle and Dreaming, I am also hyped up listening to it. The song structure..everything in harmony I am still listening to Im Ok, New Axis

[@samiramohamed8915]

not them saying bailey sok and sean lew be tryna dance like jungwoo IM DEAD LMFAOOOOO

[@angelinagore5067]

This song is CHEF’S KISS PERIOD. 🔥🔥

[@Hannah_haechanfangirl]

This is NCT U.. it's made up of NCT dream members (Haechan, Mark, Jaemin, Jeno), NCT 127 (Haechan, Mark, Doyoung, Jungwoo), WayV (Xiaojun and YangYang) and Shotaro (he's not in a group yet). In NCT U they pull any member from those three groups to make a song I recommend listening to NCT dream songs they are FIRE.

[@Itsloceng]

Guys their B side tracks are fire 🔥can't wait for you guys reaction

[@cozkeyisinnct]

hey lc i have watched an interview of shinee a few months ago wherein they stated that their song don't call me was a song intended for another artist (boa), but it got revised 6 times just so that it can be as shinee as possible. they probably tweek the song as many times just to fit the artist and in this case as nct as possible.

[@anastasia9475]

So happy to see this reaction out so soon 🥲🙌🏻

[@j4ck158]

9:29 yes! jaemin is from dream, he’s the one w orange hair and the center when you hear “what you got?” at the beginning

[@Ren_NCTzen]

Yess, a dopamine overdose! Great reaction! And yes, that's what I love about NCT, they aren't afraid to experiment and still give us that high quality! Also yess the Jungwoo appreciation! Yess Xiaojun vocals appreciation! You guys heard "Moonwalk" when he kills the vocals. Any WayV song, it's him! He's my WayV bias! And everyone probably already told you guys about Shotaro!

[@barbennbar]

y'all NEED to react to the whole album. it's SO SO SO good!!!

[@m3liiii669]

Bruuuh. Looking forward you checking out the Universe Album. Fire. Pure Fuego 🔥 One word….OK!

[@tishahunter1674]

If you can please react to OK! or Birthday Party they’re sooo good

[@Necroherz]

It would be awesome that in a future album or mini album you guys can at least compose one song for them (Whatever the unit you could most liked) 😎

[@sky4730]

Doyoung is the mom of this unit :p Mark and Shotaro is at par in dancing. Im hoping to see them do a dance cover

[@ireneserrano4570]

I wish you could get in touch with producer Dem Jointz and have a cool chat/interview like you did with Darius Bryant "Droyd" 🙏🙏

[@ClassicallyMish]

That sound they did on Doyoung’s vocals sounds like Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen! It’s Fire

[@ireneserrano4570]

I know you already heard about Kenzie... But do you know about DEM JOINTZ? An amazing american (Compton, Cal.) producer of many kpop bangers, like NCT's Sticker, Kick It, Punch, Cherry Bomb, Right Now (you must react to this one, still...), The Neo Zone Final Round Prelude...; SHINee's Don't call me; EXO's Obsession, Cloud 9; for Super Junior, Red Velvet... He produced for Dr.Dre, Eminem, Rihanna, Anderson .Paak, Chriw Brown, Kanye West, Janet Jackson & more Check out his Twitter! also, recently he posted a cover of Sticker made by the indie band "Undecided Future", sooooo good!

[@subakbaksu2293]

[@jonjones4083]

y'all gotta listen to OK! you have to that's the best song on the album. and Earthquake

[@edgarrobbins3375]

I'm not going to lie, I cannot reiterate enough how you two should listen to Round&Round from the same new NCT U album, I think it has the potential of becoming one of your top 10, top 5 even. Check it out ! It's all vocalists. In contrast, another song and my second favourite is New Axis, which is all rappers. Enjoyyyy

[@tyongsyazzqueen9141]

Hi, can please also react to the whole album? Such a good album! My favs are Earthquake, New Axis, Know Now, OK! And Miracle. Thank you.

[@oraoy1]

The dance machine guy is Shotaro, not yet in any fix unit. He was in Make a Wish last year. That sound effect of Doyoung’s part sounds like an organ to me. So he is a music instrument himself not just a voclaist. It’s like riding a roller coaster listening to this song 😆. The dance practice vdo is available now. I’m sure you wouldn’t miss it.
