ABOUT ME
- I'm Cambodian and Chinese.
- I was born in November of 1983 and raised in Houston, although my heart lays in between Houston and Hawaii.
- "OG KPOP STAN": I've always used the term "OG" (supposedly "original gangster") to define being old-school, and I became an avid Korean music aka Kpop listener/lover since 1998. Kpop was my coping mechanism from the bullying I experienced in my younger years and it's just stuck by me ever since. Also! Just to be clear: me calling myself an "OG kpop stan" doesn't mean that anyone who's listened to kpop later than me is inferior. A kpop lifestyle is a kpop lifestyle regardless of time.😄
- I was a hiphop dancer for about 7 years. I did the whole crew thing, auditioning thing, competition thing, choreography thing, dance instructor thing, so I have some experience in that field and I hope to be able to share some perspective from my experiences for y'all to see the extra things that I appreciate about a video when I point them out.
- My videos can have quite a lot of cuts in editing and/or my eyes will unnaturally blink rapidly sometimes. This is because of my neurological disease that came with my lupus nephritis (posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome). My thinking abilities and speaking abilities struggle to align at times.
- Yes, that's Jack Sparrow's ring that I always wear in my videos. I've been a Pirates of the Caribbean fan ever since I rode the ride for the first time ever in Disneyland when I was a kid.🤓

[@jamescurfman3284]

I agree with this! I am sure that great genetics plays a part here and of course she knows how to take care of herself because of how her life has been up to now. Being a dancer would have taught her how to exercise and a proper diet for her body type and to keep things running smoothly. Chemo though... just damn. That part really sucks, but she survived whatever the problem was (let's just hope it went away for good and STAYS GONE). :)

9:29 JYP artists are insanely synchronized and sharp with their movements, glad you mentioned that ! JYP is very severe with how the choreo look as a whole, we can see that through several shows that JYP judge in. If you're looking for another Twice reaction, check out Fancy or Better !

[@RoseAllDayyy]

I thought the same! Everything is intentional and JYP drills precision into them. Itzy are fantastic!

[@jendeukie8699]

Definitely agree with that

[@lovegameintuition1420]

*2:30* Funny how you mentioned that because the members really love Lia’s shoulders/collar bones. She really does have a beautiful frame:)

[@anistardi]

The best is only one. Your logic is not functioning and you do not know about dancing.

[@glaubi4723]

itzy just won their first daesang they got their 1st win 9 days after debut icy got 12 wins on music shows they have 34 wins with 4 songs (not shy, wannabe, icy and dalla dalla) in less than 2 years

[@inndan7154]

Its JYP dance school ITZY and Twice from same agency

[@kurtyyoww3662]

Next up, Itzy debut song "Dalla Dalla" pls! Thankyou for reacting to itzy❤️ Dalla-Dalla is the most synchronized dance practice of itzy that I ever seen in my entire life.

[@maefangirlhearteu501]

Please check out also "Want It" and "Itz Summer" dance practice. Its their bsides, it doesnt have an MV. They always doing their crown poses in ending of their dance.

[@kimthegenuine6004]

JYPE artists are really strict when it comes to dance lines because JYP himself trains them to have a perfect dance line every move they make

[@bertiewooles3093]

JYP would not let his groups out without perfect choreo, there is a clip of him on a show called Master in the House giving them very precise feedback on the dance

[@fishboykoi]

I mean except for Day6 but they're still lit without choreo

[@daedalus3726]

JYPE is very strict in terms of dancing. It's like the number one thing that they focus on 😂 u can't get into jype if u don't know how to dance

[@fishboykoi]

​@@daedalus3726 not really. it's like any entertainment industry. they seek any talents and if the see anything in you, you debut. So pretty much hard work, determination and good looks. Oh right forgot mention good looks. *sadge*

[@fishboykoi]

@@daedalus3726 There and then after they debut. They get strict because you are in the game now. The real thing.

[@daedalus3726]

@@fishboykoi wrong, good lucks really doesn't matter in jype, tbh there are jyp artists that are not that attractive. Good looks won't really matter if you have great talent and potential. You also forgot that in the kpop industry, plastic surgery is a big thing.

[@earljohnabruzzi9262]

Next -> Dalla Dalla This is their debut song! (Bad ass moves)

[@amysabre5387]

ITZY is THAT powerful, and yes as a viewer they are so entertaining also really fun to watch and their dance really shows how discipline their practices are

[@TrueValk]

Thank you for sharing about your personal life and sorry you went through like that. I’m glad ITZY’s song and message resonantes with you. That’s one of things I’ve always liked about this group. Hope you are having a great holiday break.

[@sirvantman12]

Honestly, Yeji on the back of that truck gave me serious Björk "Big Time Sensuality" vibes and I'm loving it! All of ITZY popped off on this song

[@americxno]

lmao lia is known for her collarbones, glad you noticed 😅 Itzy slayed this, this song got me into them, great first comeback!! Also the dance and formations are INSANE!! Yuna’s (blonde haired maknae and the tallest member haha) neck snap move will forever remain iconic.

[@lukereyes9263]

A lot of those pressures you mentioned, are "CULTURAL", which we don't have any control over, BUT what we do have control over is OURSELVES and the choices we make :D Kpop Idol dance practices are pretty well known as EXTREMELY INTENSE - practicing for multiple hours non-stop, even days! For that soul purpose, to be as clean and precise as possible, to the point it becomes natural.

[@jamescurfman3284]

I have heard of fourteen-hour days of training and drilling the dances into muscle memory as being a normal thing for the big companies. That's INSANE, but that's how it seems to be overseas. I'm sure OG can confirm this.

[@garudamlph]

It is really satisfying to watch when a dancer reacting and analyzing Itzy's choreo. Anyways maybe an Itzy logo sticker is coming.. Thank you and more power.

[@madhatter9424]

The future is bright for ITZY.

[@Zanshi]

Itzy, SKZ & Twice are all from JYP. It's no secret the quality and originality in their dance breaks and choreos. Please react to Itzy's unhelpful guide, the duality in them is just off the charts.

[@lovegameintuition1420]

If you could possibly do a different video such as posting your reaction of a guide to itzy that would be amazing! Honestly you’ll really like them, they’re such pure, funny,humble and just amazing in general

[@mrjackpots1326]

I love this song. What they've done since then hasn't lived up to the promise of Icy. I have great hopes for the next comeback though.

[@fakestrawberryflavor]

Itzy is the best! There was an early variety show where JPY was super hard on them as a dance mentor and I'm sure its paid off! Attention to detail!

[@reenie6721]

Itzy and Twice are from the same company, which is JYPE. And JYP always makes sure everything in the dance is absolutely PER-FECT, he watches their performances frame by frame to see if they're perfectly synchronized and makes them repeat over and over.

[@xycophant]

Itzy (and Twice) always has performance like no other girl group - just constant moving, bouncing, dancing, and energy throughout the songs with very little breaks along with unique and abundant usage of arm/hand choreo that seems to be JYPE tradition since Wonder Girls. There are good dancers in other groups but Itzy ALWAYS stands out cause Itzy feels like they're DANCING with good choreo instead of how other groups feel like they do choreo with splashes of dancing.

[@Rashkind1]

ITZY's synchronization is always on point!!

[@tzyued3868]

I love all Itzy's title track songs. All their songs will boost up your self-confidence. The lyrics are all about self-love. The songs' lyrics energize you and advices you to be more confident!

Thanks! You provide what Olympic commentators offer, and that's expert context to what I'm watching. For me, uneducated in dance art, it all looks awesome. But now I'm starting to see detail I never knew was there. And how awesome the young women in Itzy are!

[@rikkikarrylmabayo2504]

Hey hey hey! Yay my favorite ITZY title track, for me this title track captures ITZY completely and that is why I love it, this title track also despite very polarizing to MIDZYs won them 12 awards and also solidified their position as a strong contender for best gg in terms of dance, and performance in kpop in general. Also the video is just so beautifully edited, and the song, its so funky and experimental that's why you wont get bored. The dance is very chill but at the same time very amazing. If you want to know about them I suggest Unhelpful guide to ITZY by Ryujinnies.

[@ako8357]

6:29 I feel you. - a same-age kpop fan

[@reneeg9162]

Hi OG, thanks for not making me feel too old. I'm 40 yrs old and absolutley love ITZY. I honestly didn't know too much of any kpop but my daughter was getting more heavily into it. And on my KZbin feed they came up when they toured last year here in America. And I remember just being memorized by them and I asked my daughter about them she didn't know too much so we looked them up and both became instant Midzy. I now listen to more kpop but I'm only stan of theirs. They just give such an awesome vibe. I can't wait till they can tour over here again.

[@jisu5980]

[@candyc3314]

JYP said that he wants all his artists to be frame by frame in sync with each other that way if someone snapped a picture the group would all be perfectly together

[@HereIStandbyU]

Dedicated to the Lia haters that say that she can't dance or lacks something. She, a pro-dancer, said nothing about her.

[@shineinstars]

as someone who's been a midzy since debut, icy is still my fave itzy song! i fell in love w it at first listen 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩

[@wesxvin]

the girls always come THRU with some amazing dance breaks!!!! I'm always excited to see them slaying every video

[@tofermartinez4114]

I like what you said about them exuding confidence. They came out with a video, kinda like a video diary to their fans of just being 100% honest and raw with their thoughts. And they all had amazing stories of stress and how they can feel demoralized by so much around them. But 2 of them in particular, Lia and Chaeryeong, both confessed some extremely deep issues they had and basically said they do not feel, or relate, to the lyrics that they sing about or the messages behind them because of the way they're treated by certain types of fans.

[@aera4786]

THANK YOU FOR APPRECIATING ICY!

[@allainerreyes1539]

Icy is on my top list in all Itzy's title tracks. I don't know many people don't vibe with it but geezz idk why i love this so much. I still listen to it until now, it has the same feels when I listen to Twice's More and More.

OMG - I LOVE watching your reaction to these vids almost as much as I love watching all the beautiful Kpop pretties. Your reactions - and I know what your thinking - is just ... well, we think alike. On a personal note: I appreciate you a lot and how you talk about your own issues such as not being able to have children and some of your past. It brings a sense of compassion into your video reviews (when you share your own information to your fans) and I really like that about your personality! Really wish I knew you in RL. EDIT: There are only ONE "Queens" to Kpop - that's TARA.. Love ITZY though.

i don't know much about Itzy, like i know of them, like i listen to some of their releases but i always saw them as the Cheer Squad of Kpop because of their dances. Strong energy, joyful in their choreo and concept, they are like the Pro Cheerleaders of Korea XD and the Crown element as ''Queen Bees''

You have to keep on eye on Itzy in 2021. As Yuna has passed her child age, they turn into darker, sharper, and sexier.

[@Zigerone]

You should react to NiziU. They are a J-pop group, but they are a group under JYPE. They are super popular in Japan. They have a pre-debut album, and a debut album. They group was formed by auditions in Japan and then a select group of people from the audition got to train in South Korea and then the final group was formed. The show is called Nizi Project if you wanted to watch it. I recommend listening to Make You Happy first which is from their pre-debut album so you can get used to the members and if you want listen to Step and a Step which is from their debut album. That song is very sentimental towards a member Miihi who had to go on hiatus due to health reasons. The lyrics and the meaning of the music video is very heartfelt.
