OG KPOP STAN/RETIRED DANCER'S REACTION/REVIEW: TXT "Puma" MV+Dance Practice!

“OG KPOP STAN": supposedly "original gangster”, can be seen as “old generation", personally viewed as “old-school”.🤓
I became an avid Korean music aka Kpop listener/lover since 1998. Korean and rap music was my coping mechanism from the bullying I experienced in middle school through high school and it's stuck by me ever since. When I made this KZbin name, I was thinking from my graphic-design-major perspective of a brand that will not only describe what my content will be about but will also align with the times, and y’all know that “Kpop stans” have been a thang for awhile now so... OG + KPOP STAN. (My love for Eminem is also relevant.😂) ALSO! Just to be SUPER clear- me calling myself an "OG kpop stan" does NOT mean that anyone who's listened to kpop after me is inferior or less-than. A kpop lifestyle is a kpop lifestyle regardless of time. Please don’t get that sh*t twisted.😛

6:06 I was shocked because you very accurately described TXT's concept not even after 1 listen. (for this song but also as a whole, treating the transition to a new period in your life, even using the word "chapter"!?) Are the lyrics that good or are your analyse and reactions amazing? I don't even know. I won't spoil the symbolism and all the story but, like, you should be a theorist with such quick thinking and accurate deductions.

[@ogkpopstan]

Hahah awww thanks! That really means a lot to me.💜 I have a major in graphic design and studied literature so I guess those many, many annoying classes of learning how to understand different aspects of art while keeping the awareness of how humans can be (mentally, emotionally, and spiritually) at a bay was worth it.😅 _xthina

[@leoniemelodie7]

@@ogkpopstan It was. 👏👏 I- Thank you for responding to my comment. I really appreciate these reactions because of your great sense of observation and your technical inputs. I'm learning things, it makes me understand "why" I like them so much. It's also so pleasant to see someone appreciate TXT's work and aesthetic. So thanks for the fun of watching a MV together and your sensible approche or it. Much love. 🙏

[@r1yoo]

@@leoniemelodie7 I completely agree!

[@ELmayberry]

@@leoniemelodie7 yesss.

[@minjoon9253]

This song is based on the real life incident of a puma that escaped the zoo in South Korea which was shot to death after a few hours of freedom. So the song has both literal and metaphorical meaning.

[@ogkpopstan]

That’s freaking amazing of TXT to do... wow😳 _xthina

[@kristal5904]

“Why are they so beautiful?” MOOD

[@chikoritabangg771]

i found u here again 🤧

[@kristal5904]

@@chikoritabangg771 helloo🥰

[@minjoon9253]

Their other song with dark aesthetics is Can’t You See Me (from the same album as puma). Cat and Dog (from the same album as crown) is like a fusion of hip hop and cute concept. Please do react to Run Away too, it has a really unique concept.

[@leoniemelodie7]

Oh yeah, the song is based on the story of a puma that got away from a zoo, enjoyed freedom for the first time but got shot by the police after a few hours. That was a scandal in Korea a few years back. They used it as symbolism for the concept and lyrics and it also ties into their TXT Universe, the +U. Hence the storytelling aspect.

[@euphie096]

Can't You See Me Drama Run Away New Rules A must watch!!

[@HelloMello91]

I feel like New Rules was a good semi dark concept with really dope hard choreo too! I haven't heard MOAs talk about New Rules in a while either.

[@euphie096]

@@HelloMello91 oh I forgot new rules too!

[@beomgyuslostsandhanitizer]

Yes runaway magical concept

[@wonganimataya3464]

Can't You See me for sure. Its the title song for the album puma is in. And a Darkish concept maybe We Lost The Summer is also really good Wow so many likes, love you MOA Btw if she wants something like super dark I don’t think anyone has brought up eternally

[@mingyujeon1639]

I’ve been looking for someone to bring up Eternally. I’m glad you did. Eternally MV would have you crying, confused, and scared all at the same time. Its literally a movie.

[@sraevixa1442]

I wish she would react to eternally video and Can't You See Me

[@acoulter8913]

Another meaning of Puma is , Their suffering in a "cage", the moment they debuted, they started facing different harsh criticisms from the world, people started putting different false accusations on them. "Enemies" here might represent the antis who are always keeping an eye on them and trying to put them down. Because they were the first Big Hit group to debut after BTS, They found themselves on the end of hate

[@nomomuno_.]

Thank you for taking such interest in txt! Sometimes it’s hard for us moas to get them that publicity and to get people interested in them, especially in the beginning of their careers when they were just seen as bts’s baby brother group. It’s so great that they’re are getting much more of a name for themselves now! If I could recommend anything, it would be either Can’t You See Me, Nap of the Star, or Run Away. Can’t you see me is from the same EP as Puma so it has a bit of the same dark undertone that you seemed to like so much. Nap of the Star is more story and vocal based. It doesn’t have a choreography but the music video is so creative and their performance is so beautiful. Run Away was the title track to their second album. It’s not as dark as Can’t you see me and has a Harry Potter theme to it. It’s super cool and very well done. Angel vs Devil is also really good, it comes from the same album. Of course, I wouldn’t want to overwhelm you with too many recommendations so just do whatever you feel. As a fan of both your channel and TXT your reactions are always very much appreciated so it doesn’t really matter to me what you decide to react to next, I’lol always enjoy what you put out :))

[@solaphanry]

the thing about txt is that their albums follow a storyline. so the first album is where they, like, find each other so everything's bright and happy = crown. next album is the introduction of the problem or where the storyline plot thickens = run away. next album the friendship is falling apart = can't you see me. so, yeah. the concepts gets darker every album. blue hour was bright and happy again because it's kind of the pause before they go into the new chapter which moas think is the chaos chapter.

[@acoulter8913]

I remember a Music review article labeling TXT as concept chameleons at this point in their young career, They have successfully embodied , A versatile plethora of different genres & concepts

[@chickwit2575]

They really remind me of VIXX in that aspect.

[@theycallmeceecee]

You should check out "Can't You See Me" next!!!

[@ELmayberry]

OMG.. yesss

loved it! txt has amazing choreos. they do dance practices even for songs that doesn't have a mv, so i hope you react to them as well in the future. next has to be cat & dog, new rules and i would love to see fairy of shampoo too(this one has more of a jazzy, chill and mature vibe, they're even wearing suits, hahah).

[@mars-rq3nf]

you should react to their cant you see me mv next!

[@mars-rq3nf]

its similar in the sense that its a side of them u havent rlly seen yet

[@leoniemelodie7]

I clicked so fast. I was waiting for another TXT reaction, thank you so much!!! 💜💙💗💛💚

[@Yuyu-js5li]

In fact, Puma escaped from Daejeon Zoo in Korea and was killed in a day. I was so touched because you expressed it so well. Thank you. Sending love from Korea❤️

[@elizabethpecina1216]

I freaking love puma!! Can’t you see me & puma are darker concepts for TXT & they fit it so well! Please react to can’t you see me MV & Dance Practice, i think you’ll enjoy the concept & symbolism in their dance!

[@cyj6620]

this has a dance break version. that was CHEF's KISS

[@kurtyyoww3662]

just to let you know that TXT always changes their genre of music every comeback😊 they are very versatile group

[@Orion_TheyThem]

BigHit loves to show their artist's versatility and talent.

[@arianna.1004]

Probably the best reaction to Puma I’ve seen, you understood everything that needed to be understood and noticed all the little details that people usually don’t even see. Thank you so much!!🤧

[@chimoshishifu407]

You should see TXT's Dream: concept trailer. Their story telling is so interesting. TXT have a lot of "cute" songs, but when they entered the Magical World during the Dream era, some concepts turned Dark.

[@snowpiercer7735]

Thank You for appreciating TXT!!! I can't wait for you to dig deeper into TXT Discography because seriously they are one of the most versatile diverse and unique group I've seen so far.. All their music are bops and discography is just masterpiece!

[@anaheraswann]

I’m so glad you seem to be enjoying txt! I think you’d enjoy ‘can’t you see me’ if you want to explore their darker concept more. They also performed a version of puma with a dance break at the golden disk awards at the beginning of the year which is impressive (they have a dance practice that includes the dance break on their channel)

[@Dinomater_]

I'm not even a txt fan, but I would recommend anyone to watch "can't you see me". That impressed me a lot

[@eduardaboffs]

"this is not the txt that i remember" I THINK WE CAN ALL RELATE

[@edwinatakasaki2258]

Love your analysis of 'Puma' - the members themselves talked about how challenging this choreo was for them (straightening their leg in that first intro was just the beginning). I personally love 'Can't We Just Leave the Monster Alive?' - one of their B-side songs with a back story from the "Dream Chapter: Magic". 'Can't You See Me?' was a title track release from their "Dream Chapter: Eternity", same as the 'Puma" album. 'Cat and Dog' is an early release, it's a song about obsession but in a horror-like aegyo way, if that makes sense (I can't find another way to describe it). Have fun with TXT - they have a fan meeting this weekend and have been reminiscing the two years since their debut (MOAs can't believe it's only been two years, it feels longer...).

[@Ashley-dl5ln]

Thank you for reacting to txt they always get hate for nothing ugh they are TALENTED THO?!?!??! AAAAA excited for more

[@moon1982]

can't you see me mv reaction please!!

[@renwrld]

ooo i like the new thumbnail style !

[@ogkpopstan]

Thank you so much! I took over an hour with trying to fix it a little.😅 _xthina

[@kimsummer7955]

You got the concept of the song listening to it ONCE while a lot of people sometimes just don't get it, you are really smart and you know how to analyze the lyrics. Also I've been waiting for another txt reaction cause your reactions are the best and you notice things that others don’t

[@r1yoo]

I recommend can’t you see me. It’s the title track for this the album this song puma is in (puma is just a b-side) and can’t you see me is very dark and deep, but like the sad type. There are so much hidden messages in the music video of cant you see me too! I also recommend ‘run away’ too’ it has a rock feel too becuase of the guitars in the chorus. Cat and dog is a bright version of puma in my opinion lol it’s very animalistic but the cutesy version. The puma dance practice just again proves that txt are formation kings 😩

[@estephanie8126]

I’ve been waiting for more txt content 😭😭

[@leoniemelodie7]

I wanna recommend B-side songs because they have a peculiar shine, but maybe a title or a song with a dark concept would be good for a reaction. (I realized while making the recommandation list that they have *a lot* of iconic choreos with cool concepts) B-side: *1)* My favorite is Fairy of Shampoo, dreamy romantic concept, they have a Mnet performance for that one, but any performance is good. *2)* Angel or Devil, the choreo is very interesting and mischievous. The MV or their M2 performance. *3)* Can't we just leave the monster alive, the choreo is crazy hard and crazy beautiful, it's iconic. *4)* New Rules, got tons of views, it's punk and iconic. Studio Choom video. *5)* Cat & Dog, it's light hip hop. *Sorry, too much good B-sides* Title: *1)* 3/4 Quarters (Run Away), the concept is also very different and surprising. *2)* Can't you see me?, it's DARK. I'm loving these reactions. Thank you so much! 💜💜💜💜💜

[@akietxt9725]

TXT is so versatile, they killed different concepts. I enjoy your reaction a lot, thank you ^^

[@WellDressedGypsy]

Run away by them was my favourite kpop song of 2019 and it combines whimsical and dark concepts the choreo has a light airy magical circus vibe

[@CindersVale]

The power and energy that TxT put into this song are incredible. We aren't looking at them as young boy Kpop idols in 'Puma.' instead, we're seeing young men of strength and agility. Their talents blend so well and smoothly together that they really do set the bar high in this MV.

[@TheKpopMailman]

Love seeing you getting more into TXT. I’m ready for whatever else you bring us from them 🙌 can’t make a bad choice

[@TheDcarlos66]

You should see Puma dance practice with dance break

[@lamegamehero]

Cat and Dog is a great song and FIRE 🔥 choreo, but if you like darker themes, maybe Can’t You See Me? As far as songs to listen to, they are probably going to have a lot more darker themes and concepts in the next upcoming album because we are moving into the Chaos Chapter. So you can look forward to that haha. Most of the existing tracks are gonna be feel good/funky vibes that are gonna put a smile on your face.

[@stardustcarts]

CAN’T YOU SEE ME! THE CHOREO WILL BLOW YOU, THE SONG IS DARK AND TWISTED BUT THE CHOREO IS SO THEATRICAL

[@manuelavitoriafortunato2404]

I Love TXT 💜💜

[@nebuulla]

I’m happy you’re reacting to PUMA! It’s my absolute favorite TXT song and I love for your reaction. 🖤🔥

I love your reactions! Also, I highly recommend NEW RULES and RUN AWAY.. it’s a must-watch!

[@theabelsss8287]

I love your reactionsss and all your efforts in understanding the concept and at the same time in choreography alsooo. I will recommend new rules, cant we just leave the monster alive,blue orangade, cat and dog,cant you see me, run awayyyyy, and also dance practices in award showzz

[@heatherlynn728]

There is Can't You See Me, but there is also New Rules. That one surprised me a lot on how good it was.

[@moaarmy6623]

The Chaos Chapter is coming. Moas are expecting to see a darker of them with chaos chapter.

[@txtthingz9670]

I'm definetely excited for it

I've been waiting for this 😍😍

[@eymi1670]

You should definitely dive into +U. They are just so... UGH! I cant phrase it out. TxT is just so gooood

[@2002jmdmalazzab]

Their dance break version of this song is another level. Like this is just level 5 and the dance break is level 100 🤯

[@kclimpiado7178]

Wish she reacts to that!!

[@ani_kay]

Loved the reaction. Puma is definitly one of my favourite choreographies of them. Next to their songs I wpuld recommend you to watch the "Magic Concept Trailer". It's basically an intro for their first comeback and it still blows my mind.

[@stanzb1yall]

TXT really have done it all lol

[@zeeyeah1162]

Please we lost the summer or runaway next for TXT 😆

[@acoulter8913]

Cat & Dog is also very different from their other work, But specially the choreo is fire

Really excited for your txt journey 💙💙 One of the best all rounders of the 4 gen

[@tenzindechen655]

I've been waiting for this since foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[@sraevixa1442]

That was an amazing reaction! Thank you for reacting to TXT and I really like how you review the music, dance and analyze lyrics!!

[@bgsandhanitizer195]

This video was *chef's kiss*! Seeing as you loved PUMA I would definitely recommend checking out their 2021 GDA Dance Practice - there's a dance break and it is MINDBLOWING! As for Cat and Dog it's another one of the brighter concepts (super cute and fun song with questionable lyrics XD) but if you want to check out another darker concept I would suggest Can't You See Me! Another darker concept is Eternally (19 minute MV because its apart of the TXT universe storyline but it's great - doesn't have choreo / dance practice though but the song is actual whiplash -in the best way possible). My personal favourite TXT song is Run Away so if you could react to that as well I would greatly appreciate it - your reactions are top tier!

[@kayla4395]

Can't You See Me is definitely another song of theirs with a darker concept if you're looking for one of those :)

[@PrincessMeli19]

Ive been waiting for you to react to Puma! I knew you would get it on the first listen! this is what sets TXT apart, its the story telling in their music and in their choreo. its soo fun! Thank you for reacting! You need to watch Can't You See Me and Runaway! definitely check out Cat and Dog, Puma is kinda an evolution of that if you want to see it that way.

[@christinar6491]

For another darker side I would suggest CAN'T YOU SEE ME...it is the tilte track of the ALBUM with PUMA Something in between maybe ANGEL OR DEVIL; maybe WE LOST OUR SUMMER or DRAMA.....They show they are versatile if you want a good vocal track check out 20CM

[@franzine5303]

they are just literally perfect, you being speechless is making me remember the time i was just shocked when i watched it for the first time lol

[@h..a..n..a]

"Can't you see me" is a must to watch next, or "new rules"

[@holly8393]

YOU HAVE TO DO “can’t you see me” NEXT PLSSSS

[@Mahtalliel]

they have the best discography ever, very diverse. Their choreos always tell stories and are perfectly executed :) i hope you will check them out more often:)

[@kurtyyoww3662]

Try "Run Away" their first comeback.

[@gyuu1367]

loves the way you try to understand the lyrics too!! i think u should watch their GDA dance practice because they performed puma with a reallyyy amazing dancebreak like omg u really need to watch it!!!

[@ribi3]

Puma was released way before Blue Hour; TXT is just so diverse. They can do any concept, at any time.

[@thatkpopsis]

Loved your reaction for Puma! Also check out their performance for Studio Choom. It’s amazing!!!! I gotta check out your other TXT videos.

[@dusicapetrovic6206]

my favorite song and choreo from txt by far...i rlly wish they had more of this kind of concept or even darker and stronger, im hoping to see it soon from them, but those are just my hopes and preferences...they rule wtvr they touch :)

[@saimanaz6239]

4:43 “why are they so beautiful?” I’ve been wondering the same thing gurl😂😂

[@tarap7882]

i love watching your reactions, you always point out things that i seem to miss when watching mvs and dance practices, plus i like hearing about choreography from a dancer’s point of view. pls react to 9 and three quarters (run away), cant you see me, or cat & dog next!!

[@bubblespop5947]

Yes! Cat and Dog is a must see of TxT. I'm also gonna suggest you check out New Rules by them. I don't typically see this song get recommended, and idk why. I feel like everyone has forgotten it and how awesome and fun the choreo is.

[@nkzosiqi1880]

I have to say txt‘s every dance practice I feel so fascinated when I am watching.

[@elizabethpecina1216]

React to New Rules (studio choom) & Can’t we just leave the monster alive dance practice!

[@katyateplizky708]

Heeey! Nice to see you back to TXT! Can't you see me is the next 'dark' one you'll love for sure, but TXT's charm point is their versatility and commitment to their concepts; they are really concept masters. Everything by TXT is super good, but I'd recommend Can't you see me, Run Away and New Rules (It doesn't have a mv, just the choreo which is really really interesting) Also PLEASE please react to their Magic concept trailer: you'll be blown away.

[@sane5764]

Thank you for reacting to TXT💛 Your make up is beautiful ✨

[@Supriya03pl]

You should definitely watch their performance from last comeback show, where they joined 'Cat & Dog' with 'Puma' and used a dance break remix of a third song 'Angel or Devil' to kind of bring the concept together. That dance break itself is worth it, it's PERFECT, I can't stop replaying it...

[@Supriya03pl]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/nn-neI2wjsqUa6M

[@sallymccain3666]

cat & dog is another bright concept - one of my faaavourite songs. but you'd also lOOOVE can't you see me and runaway.

[@snowpiercer7735]

I really hope you can react to TXT PUMA Dance Break Practice they did for their GDA Performance ... I'm sure you will be mindblown by the choreography and stunts they pulled of . It's Pure FIRE!

[@judgeyrself]

as a lot of other people are already saying you should totally check out can't you see me next if you like their darker concepts!! run away is also kind of a mix between youthful and dark concepts, it's super unique ^^

[@MaluSilva-yx8nl]

You should definitely check out "Can't You See Me" next, it's the title track from the album where Puma is in it, so it stills a dark vibe but in very different way comparing to Puma, you'll get it when you watch it haha. And then I think you should check out "Runaway" after it, it's a lighter comeback compared to CYSM era, it has this more "magical" vibe to it, but it's not as light and soft as Blue Hour and Crown.

[@fathehakhatun1329]

"why are they so beautiful?" trust me i ask myself that everyday

[@MissYellowCat]

TXT's choreography is out of this world. If you want another kinda of dark song (honestly they have quite a few that sound light but are actually dark) I reccomend "Can't You See Me"

It is like two song smudged together😭💕 plus the mv is like a short movie!! If you want fantasy like concept try run away this is my fav. TXT title track and the bibidi bobidi part was catchy as hell plus the choreography😭 If you like cute and fun concept try Cat & Dog!!

"Can't You See Me" and "Can't We Just Leave the Monster Alive" are my personal recommendations to watch. "Cat and Dog" and "Angel or Devil" are also great songs as well!
