RETIRED DANCER'S REACTION+REVIEW: SEVENTEEN "HIT" M/V+Dance Practice!

WTF DOES “OG KPOP STAN" EVEN MEAN?!
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 were my coping mechanisms from the bullying I experienced in middle school through high school and my love for the genre has stuck by me ever since.
Unfortunately, I took a huge break from Korean music around 2015 when I was officially diagnosed with lupus nephritis and seizures; I was receiving and battling years of chemotherapy and dialysis along with taking 32 pills a day, so I had no mental/emotional/spiritual room to keep myself updated with the genre. Luckily, I'm in remission now! Doesn't mean that lupus and seizures are gone because I am still very capable of frequent flare-ups of I don't take care of myself, but I make sure to do so enough to manage and live as "normally" as possible.
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 hence the cringe-worthy title, 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.😛

7:44 IT'S JUN OMG! ❤️

[@jessimarie6252]

I swear Jun is one of the members of a group that just leaves you with such a soft spot 💜

[@bea-zq5ob]

if you were amazed by this you should definitely watch call call call. their synchronization in that dance is insane

[@shzzznttt21]

*Thanks* also. :)

[@unknownname3332]

Yes

[@koi_leee]

true

[@serenity102]

jun is my bias omg- i love that he shined in this era

[@ogkpopstan]

he TOTALLY did!

[@Lola-ui2zf]

@@ogkpopstan Hope u know he was d guy u mentioned twice during d choreo

[@rise1996]

I love how you keep pointing out the cute guy who stands out to you and it's always Jun 😂 as a Jun-bias, I can only agree lol. For a taller dancer he is so smooth and sharp (and fine as hell but that's beside the point LO)

[@irm_ktn]

YES JUN STANS WE RISE

[@doxitv31]

Her: I'm starting to notice Jun. Me: *looks at reaction video title* Well, you're going to notice him even more after this one.

[@pppaulita18]

So true 😂

[@tzuhuiz1405]

LMFAOOO

[@jenncarmen724]

In a white shirt its Jun!!😍😍

[@lapillity]

jun was actually the one in the white shirt who you pointed out a couple times in the choreo video! he's my bias so I'm really glad you're noticing him ^^ also seventeen have said that hit is their hardest choreo in terms of energy do I'd say that's a fair assessment to make! before hit was released they'd usually say call call call was the most difficult/energy consuming choreo so that might be second as for a guide i recommend a guide to seventeen: the movie! it is long but it's really well done and a lot of reactors break it into several parts (there's also a 'scene selection' in the form of time stamps you can use!)

[@faithmedina207]

You should watch their Getting Closer mv and dance practice too. That's also a great one to watch ❤️

[@zacklai2268]

yes yes yes!

[@loredanaannacosi9224]

So true!!!

[@harryventeen125]

Hit is the most tiring choreography of seventeen but not the hardest...

[@stanseventeen821]

According to them, the most tiring is Home;run, but they mentioned that Hit is one of the hardest if not the hardest because it makes them dance really hard like to the point of breaking their bones. ^^

[@LuftWang]

Yeah it requires a lot of stamina but they said home;run is on par because even when it wasn’t their turn they had to keep doing something. So there was barely any breathers for them

[@hyemudoesntlikemintchoco2569]

hit is more energy-powered, home;run requires agility and getting closer needs a lot of speed control

[@Netartisanjun]

If you like this kind of energetic songs I highly recommend you SEVENTEEN - Call Call Call the synchronization will blow your mind it's really impressive!!!

[@cindy_carat5057]

call call call is a must-check!!!

[@RJJJJay]

Definitely check out Getting Closer next. Seventeen has said that the choreo for that makes them want to throw up by the end of it.

[@adzralalamsyah9913]

07:40 as you should. Jun is freaking amazing in this dance. the most stunning member for me in HIT dance

[@paris2______]

The first time we get hit with the foot work, Hoshi is the center, our dancing king

[@hongjoongsbutterfly]

The blonde in the middle during the starting choreo that you pointed out is Jeonghan (my longtime bias!) but Jun is one of my bias wreckers. They are all such amazing dancers!

[@leankrizia3764]

OMG EVEN WHEN SHE PAUSED IT,,,, OH GOD THE SYNCHRONIZATION ✨

[@chintv9297]

This is said to be one of their hardest dances because it is very tiring, I've also seen dancers ranking svt choreos and this is always in the top five hardest dances also Jun is the person you always point out. The man in white in the dance practice. His voice is also very good so if you wanted to know more about seventeen, please do the seventeen guide: movie because that is very informative, they've also included identifiable features of the members so it is very helpful. That is very long but you can divide it as many as you want and we will still watch it (only if you will post it, but if not it's also okay), for me, the subpar guide is the most famous one, but it is a bit old already, there are a lot of old jokes, not updated and not that informative. Also, Getting closer is one of my favorite choreos sooo I recommend that.

[@iDrummerGirl]

i've always seen this song as like... seventeen saying "okay y'all know we have cool creative choreo and amazing synchronization. we want to show you just how much freakin POWER we have, so enjoy this loud song that is an excuse for us to push our limits even further and show off!!!!" they say it's their most exhausting choreo (though recently they've actually said that home;run is on par with hit!!) so if seventeen thinks this song is hard... it says a lot. LOL. i was like breathless the first time i watched this. it's... SO much. i love it

[@louise_vibes]

Seventeen's Oh My! would be a great addition to your collection, honestly. Thanks!

[@jillianduhgreat]

If you wanna see again energy-sucking choreo of seventeen, you can check out "Call Call Call" which is their first japanese title track.

[@liviclare]

Jun is so amazing, he really owned this era! It’s hard to notice but some members almost dance the entire song, jeonghan I’m pretty sure has a walking break to his next position but really no actual break through the whole song. The chorus is already tiring enough lol

[@vypham5130]

At the beginning, you said that you started to notice Jun. During the music video, you said "he's kinda cute" TO JUN. And during the dance practice, you said that you kept staring AT JUN. It's fate!!! I guess your bias is Jun then.

[@Netartisanjun]

HIT it's the most tiring and energetic song they have to date and the fanchant its insanely hard and tiring too that breathe part it's also for their fans xd

[@AniaM07]

Seventeen Seventeen Seventeen Seventeen Ho!

[@spaceace3563]

I can’t wait for you to watch snapshoot! They have so much diversity in their discography :)

[@spaceace3563]

The guy moving his head is Jun, and the one who’s voice you mentioned is Seungkwan

[@eleniOG]

we carats are still feel that seventeen was robbed at mama for dance of year!! you should watch their 2019 mama performance. They literally destroyed mama with this and their energyyy is superior

[@rhinem8325]

yeah...let's not talk about robbing bc mama is...mama 👀 but actually hit wasn't nominated, it was fear. and imo there were a lot of people who misunderstood fear even among carats....anyway yeah, they always kill the stage and save mama

[@eleniOG]

@@rhinem8325I was talking in general. Even fear deserved to win. But normally when voting you vote for the whole year regardless of the song nominated. I am a moomoo and hip was not a vocal song but Mamamoo was still nominated for that (because they are known as vocalist and have done great that year). I personally think that SVT should really win all dance of year every year just like MMM does with vocals. They deserve it! But boy with luv compared to fear’s dance?? Come on now...

[@rhinem8325]

​@@eleniOG don't get me wrong, i absolutely think svt deserved it; more than anyone. to me, there is no one else who has that passion, love and professionalism towards performance and music as a combination. svt does not think music is just something that is experienced through hearing but also visually; they work hard to express their message and story through their performance. IMO that is why their musicality is top notch. That year, fear was phenomenal imo and w it, i think they deserved to win. And speaking in general, they deserve the award too for all they did in 2019. i actually am quite upset at how they were robbed in terms of award season for 2019/2020. 2019 had YMMDawn with 3/6 songs that had an ot13 performance stage; one of which was previewed at mama 2018, the amazing dance competition worthy getting closer. Even though it was previewed on a end of year 2018 stage, it was released in 2019! Home was well loved and held its own as a performance! Then with An Ode, that album was amazing yet hardly recognized at the awards. it was an eclectic album that showed different sides to them they had not revealed such as Fear, Hit, etc. But alas when voting happens, fanbases now just vote for their artist regardless of the title/award deserved or not. It has become an issue wherein it's no longer a true appreciation of kpop. anyway, i'm not a huge fan of k award voting. in the end as a stan of an artist within the kpop industry, i do my best for voting in my time but my approach is to take these awards w a grain of salt when fan voting is involved. in the end, mama is mama; they're snakes and very skewed.

[@eleniOG]

@@rhinem8325 OMG!! I completely agree with you on ALL of this. I personally have given up hope on voting because it's literally all abt bigger fanbases. I just hope that the artists don't feel discouraged because of stuff like this. And yes, mama is a snake for sure 😔

[@rhinem8325]

​@@eleniOG Well that's why Seventeen tells carats that they do it bc they love music and performing and they love carats. the awards are a bonus and they thank carats for them 🥺 like if minghao thinks that it's not a great use of time to be doing the weaving kit that was part of their semicolon special album, imagine what he'd say about voting and streaming 😭😂 And as much as it feels hopeless to vote, i hope you and others can contribute what you can towards seventeen's BBMA nomination this year (voting starts may 10; but no news on what the rules are yet). i don't really care if seventeen doesn't win but i do want them to do well bc it is their first time being nomination on a major american award. if carats don't take it seriously, i'm concerned it would not reflect well on seventeen to bb. i've been seeing carats voicing being discouraged but imo winning isn't what really matters, it's to show respect to the nomination that seventeen has received from bbma. i hope carats can put our best foot forward for seventeen~ ofc never neglect yourself for seventeen; they never want us to put them before ourselves, but let's do our best for them

[@gilojedlloydclarenceb.6170]

Please do Light a flame next 😍😍 its with Jun and the 96 Line

[@cindy_carat5057]

why everyone is so fast here 😭🥺 The voice you like is Seungkwan, one of the main vocal, The one hit hard in dance practice vid is Jun. They also performed "Hit" on the Ellen Show!!!!

[@loredanaannacosi9224]

The blond guy at the very beginning, who guided the consecutive sections of choreography, is Jeonghan. He is considered the laziest member and he himself said that he is the slowest member to learn the moves. But in this choreo he is the only one that has no breathing time at all! I don't know if his amount of center time is an acknowledgement of his qualities or a punishment!!! Knowing Seventeen, it could be both! All Carats will understand me when I say that here he couldn't even cheat!!! Love from an Italian Carat mom ❤️🇮🇹🥕🙋

[@yuckew]

I’m going thru your Seventeen reactions. By far, your ones are my favourite. Thank you for reacting to Seventeen!

[@tzuhuiz1405]

Jun is an attention catcher he’s insane..

[@teresa2979]

it's so interesting you kept pointing out jun without realizing it was him every time,,,, bias mayhaps?

[@rainasayson30]

ahhhh!! you would love the ellen performance of this song!

[@bxhija7898]

finally someone who acknowledges how much of an amazing dancer jun is 😌✨✨

[@asthelilygrows4430]

aa thanks for this thina!! yes, the stamina they need to perform this at the level they do - just amazed by their talent as always!! i think for the guide most carats would recommend seventeen: the movie. it's a bit long but it's pretty comprehensive and you'll surely get to know each member more through that guide ^^

[@w00zysnakes83]

yay more SVT! their choreo for Thanks and Fallin Flower are like a completey different energy and elegant vibe in my opinion and really show how diverse and talented they are. One of my personal faves though is Snap Shoot b/c its so fun and playful :) glad ur enjoying these guys and definitely check out a guide to know more cu they have a lot of great content!

[@christy__4914]

Just to let u know, the scene that they stood on the podiums, actually got the inspiration from dead poet society!!!! Which makes it even cooler!

[@redfox1509]

I am here for the Jun bias and Seungkwan’s vocal appreciation. Also, basically all of Seventeen’s choreography is made by our performance team leader which always blows my mind.

[@divineagub5394]

all the things she said were just accurate to explain seventeen being synchronized 😌

[@anaphyhate464]

I love how you put your insights. Thank you so much.

[@nabongaliyahbelle9925]

we are looking forward for getting closer. The choreography is literally insaneee

[@diana-hx3qz]

okay let me fangirl because DAMN. the energy and hype of this song really makes me feel like running laps, not to mention how hard and spectacular the choreo is???? the editing too of the MV????? Seventeen KINGS also I'll never get over them standing on the pillar thingies like damn ok the power, you don't have to come for us like that

[@kunpiyeee5886]

Please react to Seventeen fallin flower, its the most beautiful and unique choreography in the whole kpop industryyy

[@gyuahae6910]

so excited for the guide!

[@clovers9660]

Oh, I'm so excited! I was looking forward to more SEVENTEEN content!!

[@nadaarmy8593]

You should definitely react to getting closer

[@pinkblueberryyy]

A bit long but their movie guide is probably the best and one of the most up to date guides!!

[@k.o9044]

Nice. Seventeen content! 😊 Gfriend content next?? 🤔

[@noviahn25]

OMG.. I’m so happy when you say you’re noticing Jun 😄

[@ochi0813]

You should watch Call Call Call. Their dance in that video is sooooo insane.

[@Yheela]

This song gets me moving every time I hear it, it’s such a bop.

[@jamlazo980]

I WASN'T READY FOR THIS OMG THANK U

[@samthepancake69]

Awesome!!!! Funnily enough, Vernon used to be one of my biases in Seventeen (first Seungkwan, and then Hoshi, and then Vernon joined them) but then at some point Vernon stopped being my bias and Jun became one of my ults!!! I just thought that was interesting lol.

[@musicsk613]

Thank you for reacting to Seventeen! 💖

[@izsvt]

jun his the hardest in all performances imo, his clothes always end up disheveled and untucked 😆

[@ジャスティン-o4z]

Girl I just marathoned SVT Hit reactions yesterday! THE TIMING. I love it

[@fireruby1882]

Still remains my favorite SVT song. That and Getting Closer, and Rock With You, all 3 are a tie

[@forgivemenot1]

For me the most aesthetically pleasing performance Seventeen have done was by their performance unit called Lilili Yabbay which was filmed on location as a one shot, but one of the best dance performances' they did was with NU'EST W called 'Heaven' where there are actually seventeen members all together and the formations are incredible! You should do a deep dive into some of Pledis's other groups because the one thing Pledis does right is dance performances they also managed IZ*ONE for their early releases and Fromis_9. Some suggestions would be Nu'est Bet Bet, After School First Love which incorporates pole dancing, Orange Caramel Catallena they are a sub unit of After School and the dance practice is fun, Pristin Black Widow and Fromis_9 Feel Good.

[@caratjacob1495]

You should check out CALL!CALL!CALL. Before Hit came out, that song was THE most tiring choreo.

[@svtbtsmoo1317]

Thina, I feel like you'd totally love: My absolute faves: Fallin' Flower -jp (MV and DP) Thanks (MV and DP) Home (MV and DP) --bec of that tone infamous part that was revolutionary when they did it first. Happy Ending -jp (MV and DP) Call Call Call -jp (MV and DP) And for your Jun fix 😉: some perf unit songs: Lilili Yabbay (MV and DP) Highlight (MV and OT13 DP)

[@bopsbopsbops5691]

i think fallin' flower would be an interesting choreo to look at. it's v beautiful and the song is softer too

[@mq6845]

15:55 same, at first, jun really caught me

[@Da1nn1]

We need more seventeen reactions it’s so good 🥺

[@ahmad_rabiya]

if u wanna see more insane choreos i would recommend ‘getting closer’ and ‘call call call’ also for a guide the best one in my opinion would be ‘a guide to seventeen: the movie’ but it’s pretty long. u can watch it in parts tho.

[@tonerosevalenzona9181]

The guy with the white shirt, whom you pointed had more emphasized moves and head bang, was in fact Jun.. So I guess, he really caught your attention! Welcome to the club! 😁

[@sitimaryam1140]

the boy with white t-shirt that u pointed twice, he is jun!^^

[@loredanaannacosi9224]

And yes, "A Seventeen guide: the movie" is a wonderful guide. But if you just want a quick introduction, the hansolix's guide is good enough. Another great way to get to know them is the docuseries "Hit The Road", which is a behind the scenes of their latest world tour. There are 13 episodes, one for each member, plus a prologue and an epilogue. They are all very short, so you could even watch two or three episodes in a single reaction. It's a very deep and moving series that shows the members' thoughts, their feelings towards each other and their enormous dedication to their work ( and large involvement in what they do, taking their title of self producing idols to a new height). And please, don't be afraid that longer videos won't be watched, we love them instead! I don't know if my English is comprehensible enough even if I hope so, I'm Italian after all, so please forgive my errors, please. Love from an Italian Carat mom ❤️🇮🇹🥕🙋

[@josellefelezario4537]

Watch Getting Closer MV as well that's insane

[@khazelming]

A lot says that SEVENTEEN's choreography is always intentional. And when you actually felt their intention of having HIT as a workout (gym) song, that's what we're talking about. Haha so yeah, this song should really hype you out and push you. Yes, HIT is def on the top of the choreo that's most hard-hitting and energetic. That's accdg to SVT themselves. This one plus Call Call Call and Getting Closer. The latest addition to what makes them breathless was Home;Run, more because of there's not much venue to rest in the whole choreo.

[@ohmydwcifihitprettyu]

Thanks Thina🌻🥕💎 Looking forward to seeing more SVT contents with you 🥕

Seventeen consider Getting Closer their hardest choreography - "it seemed impossible", and you will _definitely_ understand why when you see it. They also called out Hit as hard and Good to Me (B-side, dance practice but no MV) as difficult.
