"I like seeing Johnny in the front and middle" Jeff, you're an intellectual

[@JeffAvenue]

😏😏

[@flannalf3184]

Actually Haechan was injured while filming this and that's why you can't see him dancing in the MV and the only scenes where you can see him is where he's sitting in a chair😥

[@summernight2752]

Wow, I never realize he didn't dancing at all. The choreo and camera shoots makes it is so hard to notice

[@markleeinthehouseyo]

yeah, meanwhile i was shocked that he danced in the dance practice video.. i thought he was still injured that time 😌

[@jhsuperiors3435]

Oh, I notice at the dance practice at a certain part there were 3 members at the back (the part where Jeff said very contemporary), but there were only 2 people on the MV, I was wondering who was missing.

ooo wow I didn't realize that! Also, I love your username!

[@neofriend426]

Omg I just notice and its so cute

[@sdrawkcabsiemanym5458]

Actually this choreo is literally 'memorize your own parts' because they all move in different ways and also dances to different movements, it''s overwhelmingly amazing. :v

[@JeffAvenue]

Haha “memorize your own parts” 😂

....has a sudden flashback remembering all those memes about Johnnys hair... Those were funny times people

Y'all know why I love Jeff? He appreciates everything! I hate comparing but I swear he is the 1st one who likes (and even called the choreography beautiful) the idea of like several groups dancing to different choreos! I really love watching reaction videos and I swear, of all the reactors i have watched, he is the first one to love this choreo!

[@floramorgan6112]

ikr! most other people would just point out tht this dance is a mess because all they care about hard dance with synchronization.

[@Decayedf]

Indeed. And also I love him because he only reacts the groups that got his interest first. Not being greedy to react every group in kpop

[@emilyc1250]

Omg I love his take on this. This is one of my favorite choreos because of all the isolated movements. Everyone is essential and makes the whole this just amazing to watch!

[@JeffAvenue]

Thank you! It’s so different but I love it!!

[@LK-eh3oy]

Johnny's hair is so iconic. Sehun's nightmare having come to life. 😂

[@ikarilin7643]

I believe that NCT U-Baby Don’t Stop and NCT 127-Chain are on your reaction list, so let’s gidiiid, we want to see it!!

[@floramorgan6112]

yesss cant wait for these two ! both are superior 😆

[@Lia-nk9wm]

Also, in the live concert version, Taeyong decided to be rude and also had a crop top ^^;;;

[@Lola-ui2zf]

I dont know who is funnier,u or Jeff😂

[@aniumar5964]

I think jungwoo had one live performance where he had a crop top too...or did it end up looking like a crop top cos bby got a long ass torso...?😅 But i ain't complaining man...!🤭😉

@@JeffAvenue but i put 4 smiley 😂😂😂😂 like this...

[@wnmaisarah]

in the dance practice, the move was no longer there because jaehyun and taeyong fans had a fight, saying sm is careless for making taeyong stepped on him, risking jaehyun to have injury. therefore they stopped doing it now. the fans also told the same thing about mark stepping on taeyong in kick it but the boy reassured that hes fine :(

[@bee-ls7ht]

I remembered Johnny's long hair and now I can't stop laughing😂.

[@fangirl_alice]

"What is with the abs in this?" You should watch them perform this live in Japan, Taeyong is wearing a crop top! Also the behind the scenes of their dance practice Jaehyun & Taeyong fully lift their shirts on camera. They thought it was gonna get edited out, but surprise!

[@xe5329]

i actually cant wait for him to react to chain.. taeyong's rap part, johnny haechan centre and taeil's high note...

I noticed now that you haven't reacted to Superhuman yet, and thinking about it, I didn't have seen a lot of suggestions for this one, so I'll do, please react do Superhuman, this song is amazing, my favorite 127 title track and MV, this song got me into NCT and I have so much love for this. Note: unfortunately, SM deleted the dance practice for Godknows reason, but there's upload on KZbin, so you can react to it.

[@beemeow]

Superhuman is my favorite as well, it’s like NCT 127 was made into a song, it fits their style, music, dance and styling wise, so well!

[@Decayedf]

Really? But why tho? I just realized that. Uhm also btw Jeff has a list for the video that he will react in the future, you can check that out on the tab "about" in this channel. But hey, thank u!

[@taesang5664]

it’s a shame though it’s probably my favorite choreo of theirs but sm used really horrible camera angles and movement so the dance really feels disconnected :/

[@chrisconti1456]

superhuman was the superior title song, such a shame dreamzens and knctzens boycotted it :/ it really was a cultural reset

[@cl3147]

I second this! Please react to superhuman jeff. I always look forward to your reactions :)

[@ImHyucks107cmLeg]

Next time when you react to Chain i think ur brain will be damaged like us😂 And i think you will enjoying kitchen beat too because the dance was odd 🤔 but kitchen beat doesn’t have dance practice so there is only fan-cam💁🏻‍♀️

[@JeffAvenue]

Oh I’m curious now!

"It's so odd.. but it's so beautiful" that describes NCT perfectly hehe 💕💕

[@Samy.10VE]

React to NCT 127 Chain and dance practice and NCT 127 Firetruck and dance practice 😊 they're some of my favourites. Also if I'm not wrong I think Taeyong helped choreographed this well he does that with most songs.

[@johnsbananachokedmehelp]

"I would've never expected this for NCT 127." Same Sir, NCT keeps on pulling off odd and unusual concepts, trend setters of the century indeed.

[@rica5304]

I forgot how chaotic this song is lmao

[@zanasarifa]

“It’s so odd but it’s so beautiful” Yess I totally agree with you👏🏼 in case you’re curious, the coreographer is rino nakasone, she is japanese and also choreographed other SM artists. And as far as I know she only works with SM artists so far

[@mysticaldelights9278]

I relate to that "hi yuta" in tiny font on a spiritual level

[@dawna23]

That "hi yutaa" was so pure

[@Pondyzrytte]

Someone said even if you don't stan Teayong, you already stan him.

[@floramorgan6112]

its good to see ur reaction bout this, most tht dont really know about dance would just say tht theyre not synchronize and everything but actually theres just a lot of things going on individually and also in group like the members are dancing differently in separate groups

[@JeffAvenue]

Totally! It’s unconventional but it works!

[@esteebee]

this is one of those choreos that I can just watch over and over again because there is so much to focus on and each time I notice something new.

[@nuranismurfiqah4610]

Please react to TAEIL - BECAUSE OF YOU . His voice was sooo good to heal your ears 😍

[@nono-lc5du]

I honestly love these reactions because you actually know what you’re talking about. 😌

Thank u!

[@xiaomarv9670]

The way he said ‘ hi yuta~’ was soo cuuute

Here to say that Yuta can very well be one of the best dancers in nct and HE DESERVES MORE ATTENTION (and lines)!! Like did you all see the amount of control that guy has???!!!

One of my fave dance practices to watch, mainly because this was when HAECHAN was back from his hiatus, missed him, his vocals, his dance ^^. And of course, if it's NCT, it's all WOOOOOOW!!!

[@noizy2606]

I rember scrolling Twitter during this comeback and finding a video of Johnny getting his extensions stuck in a fan in the middle of the filming. They were about to start the next frame and he was like "Give me a second...". He looked like the diva of the group and I lived for that

Thx Jeff, I really like how you react to the whole videos. You're such a good performer.

thank you for reacting to nct constantly, and giving them lots of praise 🥺 rly makes me prideful, they really are an amazing boy group! i also appreciate that you notice small things others don’t :) love u ! ❤️

[@alixa3676]

"It's abstract but it works. It's just something that you leave it be. You don't touch it. You don't play with it. You don't do anything with it. You just let it be. You enjoy it and you kind of like enjoy the confusion." Jeff concluded it well. This is why NCT 127 is top tier... always different, always unique. Even their choreos speaks this identity. They never conform to standards. Hard pill to swallow though. That's why I always think people who appreciate them are those who truly value artistic performances. Thanks, Jeff. Finally, a reaction that truly understands what's going on in NCT.

[@JeffAvenue]

Unique is where it’s at! People don’t become successful by conforming to the norm 💪🏽😁

[@lathifahdhiya723]

Honestly Wakey Wakey is the most bizzare choreography I have ever seen. I could watch it million times and I will find new details going on.

[@valentinejung1679]

To be honest, me as a non dancer seeing wakey wakey for the first time was like, what??? I mean i got confused by the "mixed" choreo, but then once i got the pattern of their choreo i was blown away, srsly i was sooo amazed, like yo dude whoever the choregrapher is genius!!
