⇘ WTF DOES “OG KPOP STAN" EVEN MEAN?! ⇙
Supposedly "original gangster”, can be seen as “old generation", personally viewed as “old-school”. I’ve been into Korean music since 1998 when I was 15, and since then, an "OG KPOP STAN" was born. For a bit of dance background details, feel free to check out my "About" section!

Aespa Armageddon is amazing and I'm really liking the moment for Karina with the choreo and Giselle attitude is always on ten NingNing and Winter always surpass you're expectations with their voices

[@rikipaisal9910]

they ate every aesthetic aspect... the visual fx, the make up, sinematography, plus the graffity at the end

[@mischerub]

I looooved this comeback. Such a cool concept, choreos, MVs and songs 👽💖

[@ogkpopstan]

AESPA keeps getting better when they already were insanely powerful prior!🫠

[@anthonyguerin7659]

they really did Drama, then Supernova, then Armageddon, insane

[@fabiant.2485]

They just keep outdoing themselves! 🤩

[@Mrenthlei]

Their dance practice was even more satisfying.... 😅😅 Always love your work 💕

[@stephanie6346]

Idk why i never thought about that before but you're right, the whole video really does feel like a big rorschach test!! This video and song went so hard, I feel like all of the cbs this year from the groups i stan have been super fire.

[@evesuaner924]

Finally, I've been waiting for your reactionnn

[@rebeckaroy6790]

Renan put together such an amazing choreo and the girls delivered beyond my expectation. It's such a great album and comeback, they are on fire xx

[@arkano18cl]

This is the comeback I was looking for: OG Kpop/Retires Dancer comeback ✨✨✨

[@fredflint8399]

At about 20:05 on your video you can hear a Pew Pew Pew that was not part of the original song but was added by Winter after she reviewed the recording, she went back in and asked to add the "Pew Pew Pew". I was wondering where that would be added.

[@Short_Round1999]

No. It was there. She just wanted it to be recorded by one of the girls(she wanted to do it) instead of it being an instrumental. In the recording behind several of the staff told her it was there, but she insisted on it being a member to record it, and they just let her do it and if it was good they’d keep it. And here we are

[@yanz2501]

With the dance practice video you can see and appreciate the choreography in more detail

[@jamesdumm5529]

I sincerely hope you can take the time to read this. As a newcomer to KPop and Aespa, I've come to discover the beautiful artistry that they embody. Their vocals, their dance moves, their lore...it all makes for fantastic performances and and thoroughly enjoyable experience. I;ve really enjoyed watching your reviews of Aespa music and performance videos, and agree with everything you say...giving due credit to your personal experience(s) as a KPop dancer. i would like suggest that you take time to review Aespa's Welcome To My World music video (feat. Nævis)...not the live stage performances, but the mv. I'm really interested in what you would have to say about that performance.

[@propxgirl]

I WAS WAITING FOR YOU TO REACT TO THIS MV AND THE CHOREO!

[@BlackMoore82]

'Melody's my favorite song off the album but 'Armageddon' is a close second.

[@Boatzilla2]

Black Mirror! Great reference, Xthina. Fits perfectly. Actually, in both this and Supernova, there are a lot of hidden or hard to find references to AI, perhaps the dangers of AI and what's real or not. Check out the poster behind Winter when she does her first little solo vocal.

[@gandashaa3564]

Girlll please do react on their dance practice, that is so satisfying!! 🫶🏻

[@anneyoungpark97]

Thank you Thina for this reaction!

[@kalistozannis1104]

Also!!! I'm not sure if you were planning on reacting to ARTMS' Virtual Angel (since I know you've enjoyed Loona in the past!), but the MV is VERY flashy, so I recommend watching the "Human Eye" version they posted instead, which has reduced flashing. Be safe!!!❤

[@tofujordi]

yes seconding this! the human eye ver is even a little much so just fair warning

[@Alexis_419]

I'll also add my opinion...in comparison, I actually think the original wasn't that great and the flashes were unncessary and didn't add to the quality of the MV.

[@tofujordi]

@@Alexis_419 i get why you think that but i love it. its hypnotic and awesome. i don't think the flashes are at random but if its too much i could see how it could be too much

[@kalistozannis1104]

@@Alexis_419 I liked it, but I agree it doesn't add anything to the MV and the Human Eye version is a lot easier to follow along with.

[@markarus]

i love that supernova mini dancebreak 😆

[@SilverArrowsMP]

21:23 Random comment, but why does SM always “hide” these banger Giselle looks? They just casually snuck in that 2-tone hair look and it’s much more noticeable in the PV than in the actual MV. Did the same in Girls where you saw it in like literally one shot. Smh.

[@NayuLix]

Please I love Oreo hair Gigi😭😭they also hid it in Girls and now they did it again in Armageddon

[@nadi5303]

armageddon dance practice came out first followed by the performance video...

[@Awytoo]

You’re the best, they are the best.❤

[@nanaokonthoujam1726]

Been waiting for your reaction.. 😊😊

[@martinmarks8664]

I love Aespa and their comeback. Can't add anything more that others haven't said, but there is another SM artist and you missed her important comeback. Wendy had a comeback after 3 years, and she gave us a great mini album and MV. I wish you would give both your attention. Thank you. ✋🙂🎶🎵🎶

[@foodse7073]

Been waiting for this❤❤

[@ggnumber15one85]

Finally ❤

[@Area_7189]

Reminded with Norse Mythology with this concept... as a fan of Norse Myths love the mv so much

[@melodies_memoryofexy1006]

Seriously diff vibe diff hotness. Same awesomeness

[@a.a677]

I love the GIDLE poster

[@solsunumbrella]

have you watched their dance practice for armageddon? it's so good 🫶

[@unikk_963]

thank you for react

[@kalistozannis1104]

You're thinking of a Rorschach test lol. Also, I want to point out that the depiction in the MV that reminded you of hell/angels/eyes was AI generated, which is why you can't tell what it is 😭 it's a really cool MV other than that, I just can't get behind that part of it as an artist myself. Very worried about SM's recent trend of AI use in the media they're putting out, I hope it fizzles out and they just use actual art again. Love your reactions, thanks for the video!

[@touranthxxop7040]

I’m at a loss for words! I didn’t know! Aespa is THAT group! I am done!!❤😍😎

[@shahmd6]

Hi Thina....during the 2nd watch, u'll pause and analyze the vid, mv and the girls, right? And when u pause to go back or forth...one normally use the arrow keys. But arrow keys skips 5sec forward or backward. Kinda hard if u wanna watch frame by frame. To get 1sec frame by frame movement, try pressing the 2keys to the right of the "M" key...namely the comma key (for 1sec backwards) and fullstop key (for 1sec forward). This ways its easier to watch frame by frame.

[@Kyungsooya15]

Finally!! Really wait for ur reaction❤❤ Cant wait to see the dance practice reaction, giselle really ate this cb❤❤

[@wiinnnn___]

[@Boatzilla2]

[@gwynbelt]

[@aroundtheflatearth2388]

[@igorlog54]

wayv when????

[@mr_zero_k]

why you are so jelouse of the extra its not her job that she did it mabye the manarger told her also her voice is so cool get lost

[@ogkpopstan]

You’re sooo misunderstanding me hahaha when I use the word “extra”, it is meant to be an extremely good thing, not a bad thing. So you can “get lost” with your assumptions, I’d never be jealous of a group that I love and supported since their debut.
