Hi Jeff! Would greatly appreciate if you could react to LE’V solo debut MV (also known as Wang Zihao). He just released his first EP last August 18! It contains 2 songs (A.I. BAE & Exchange ID) both with Korean and Chinese versions.

Jisung's acting from start to finish...he didn't break character. 😮

[@fantasyfinal89]

He didn’t even look like he breathed, esp at the end

[@7dream4life]

ikr it’s crazy…

[@kimkai9005]

CRAZZYYYYY❤❤

[@imeneallaround]

I agree, they should've given jisung a stronger solo because his was DEFINITELY way too easy for him!

[@127zone]

I was so happy to see this combination of Mark and Jisung 🔥 (definitely a powerful duo), and I hope we could see more of Jisung in this kind of project cause he is an amazing dancing and he barely have this activities. I love this ❤️

[@RIYA_CHU_]

Mark is suitable for contemporary dance more than I expected. He’s really good!

[@assyaml5359]

here definitely not his usual style,his main style is hip hop but he still take dance classes to other genre someone said they spotted him learning locking , imagine with his tight schedule,

[@jasminenoel8472]

Mark really showed his talent in dancing with this one & Jisung’s facial expressions during the AI part were perfect!!

[@ot7biasedmashups]

In my opinion this is the best Mix & Max choreo yet. I don't think it's gonna go as viral as some others because it doesn't have a catchy Song but this one is for the dancers and performers for sure.

[@Veda98480]

I would suggestion you watch the one with Sunwoo and Q from the boyz . That's impressive too

[@user-zt9ok4sk9x]

omg i agreeeee like you really need to look deeply and understand the storyline to really enjoy this performance. unfortunately i have seen many people kinda ignore all those aspects but once you look deeply into the story and how they are trying to express it with dancing it just becomes so much better.

[@boomdreamie6162]

Yeee and it's sad. But i hope it still go viral

[@МарияПетрова-ъ6н]

True

[@ot7biasedmashups]

@@Veda98480 I already have!!​ I'm so proud of them fr and I love how the used props too but in my opinion it's still not as good as this one. That's just my opinion though.

[@minieAD]

I agree with the part where you mentioned that jisung deserve a more complex solo part cause i feel like he also have a lot more in store that he can showcase to us

[@boomdreamie6162]

Exactly. I feel like there hasnt been a choreo that fully shows what jisung is capable of.

[@NeoJenn]

Our Aces.. Mark & Jisung is among the top 5 idol Dancers of kpop 💚

[@doink17]

i also love love love the detail in jisung's arms/hands when he dances. i think this combo was chosen on purpose because mark's fluid dance style is perfect for representing the last human on earth while jisung has been killed off and turned into AI. they mentioned the concept in the teaser ! they really delivered with the emotions fr

[@anneromero67]

Actually it was Jisung who choose Mark.

[@pink_alpaca_]

Mark has a sexy vibe . when he dances, it's so spicy with his facial expressions, and he has neat and detailed movements. I agree with you that Jisung's solo should incorporate more challenging details because he is very capable. By the way, his dancing is also incredibly powerful. I admire the speed of his movements. he moves like a real robot.

[@pauljack2267]

I'm still super impressed by Jisung's second part, is he even real? . And Mark is sexy and super talented ofc 😂

[@ind_hand]

Jisung n Mark's performance is really cool, their dance is amazing👍. As always, I really like watching your reactions about nct and this time Jisung and Mark's amazing performance. Thanks for react🥰💚

[@kpoppergirl6235]

Mark is just a great dancer

[@kpopmulti_17]

Am I the only one reading too much into the end? Their stances are so different 😅 Jisung is like standing straight like a ruler, almost...robot-like? And blank. While Mark still shows human..emotions? And the hardships...the slight hunch? 😅 Because Jisung has already been killed! Is Mark the only human left?

[@ot7biasedmashups]

I think so. Mark is still holding on a little

[@darllynlebiga998]

It's insane how Jisung made us believe he's an actual AI here. He deserves an acting project I swear.

[@fantasyfinal89]

I thought it was just that Jisung was more committed as the AI character

[@assyaml5359]

i thought mark is emotion and jisung is power or something since the start , js was emotionless meanwhile mk looked in agony or something even their mvmnt one is sharp and one lenient/spicier lol , jisung aslo the one controlling mark??

[@Nia_vailable]

@@assyaml5359 ohh, yes that makes sense. Mark holds on to his human side until the end which explains still the struggle you can see in him from time to time, while Jisung becomes an AI/robot, and occasionally takes control or who has been controlling Mark (before Mark was taken).

[@notcheri]

Okay, so here’s my interpretation of the dance! They’re brothers. They were some of the last people on Earth still fighting not to be turned into AIs. Their solo parts, where Mark goes first, depicts of him fighting for his life then he gets dragged away by the “entities” then Jisung comes in and does his solo part (depicting his fight to remain human). The thing is, whereas Mark gets DRAGGED, Jisung was SHOT IN THE HEAD. And that’s probably why when they already turned into AIs, Jisung’s facial expression is creepily empty (yes, like that of a Robot) like he completely lost all his humanity, whereas for Mark, I was shocked to realize he switches from empty soulless eyes to having some glimpses of emotion (like he was still fighting inside of him to keep his humanity). JEFF, I’ve been waiting for you because I know you do contempo so you would actually understand and interpret it. Not a lot of reactors do that! 😭 I love you!!!

[@notcheri]

If this was a dystopian movie (lol 😂), when the “entities” “turned” them, since Jisung was shot dead in the head, he became a total AI (or rather, they took his being to create a humanoid that’s so like him), whereas for Mark, for some reason, his mind was rejecting it, he couldn’t be totally “programmed”. His mind was too strong that he became one of the “glitches” in the System. But since he was too valuable, and they needed more tests to decipher the “glitch”, they turned him into a lethal human weapon instead (a cyborg). So he resembles that of an AI on the second section of the dance, but towards the end, you are able to see the glimpses of humanity in him.

[@blackpanda7686]

That’s a cool interpretation…It would definitely make sense from what I’ve seen in the dance. 😮

[@notcheri]

@@blackpanda7686ahh thank u! I’m glad my thoughts made sense to you. Haha! I mean this project is just soooo cool, so I also love learning how others perceive it compared to mine, and also if others get what I do see, too 😁💗

[@grdysku5089]

Thankyou for reaction and thank you for studio choom appointing Jisung .. and Jisung thank you for inviting Mark Lee as your dance partner

[@rebeckaroy6790]

Seriously, whenever I pause this performance (and I think I've watched it about 50 times at different speeds) the pictures they make are just stunning. They said in their behind/making of interview that they wanted to show their chemistry and I think they definitely did that. They contrast and compliment one another beautifully and above all the STORYTELLING! They chose songs for a specific reason and the teams of choreographers and stylist and everyone involved chose things to tell a specific story. Their struggle, their will to survive, their grimaces of pain and fear, their EYES, the eerie beauty of the AI versions... everything really moved me and that is the power of dance.

[@sharonsimba5257]

Jeff's analysis made me enjoy the performance even more. Yo Mark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@yogurtsmeowthie]

i saw a kfan interpreting how mark fights bcs he doesnt wanna give up to be a human meanwhile jisung fights bcs he hates to be an AI and i was like….wow??? also i didnt get it at first but after seeing people mentioned jisung’s blank expressions and how he holds his breath when he becomes an AI, watching it again really gave me goosebumps hes really creepy and scary……..

[@ms.minimalistic9102]

I’m waiting for your reaction to this jeff. Knowing that you like the style and vibe of these two incredible dancers of NCT. I was so happy when they announced that it will be Jisung and Mark on Mix and Max, like, these two will surely slay!

[@jabberjanna]

I just loved Mark & Jisung's performance. It made me a new fan of theirs and got into NCT because of it. They're really underrated as dancers especially cause they debuted in 3rd gen and were so young then hence, they were mostly overlooked with a lot older idols but people should include these two as one of the best kpop dancers out there. I'm Jisung biased. His dancing is just so phenomenal. I only look into discographies and vocals when liking a kpop group but this was my first time liking someone because of dancing. He is just a phenomenal dancer. I could watch him dance all day honestly

[@marklee8717]

yes it's great cause Mark dance's type is hip hop and Jisung is more popping like they're different but they can be amazing in contemporary dance 💞

[@xxxlucy031]

it's the way how Mark can make the most simple movement attractive and the way he demands you to keep watching him (and he's so sexy too!!! you are so relatable Jeff!!!) Jisung has the precision of an ai tho and his isolation is so satisfying to watch, this kid needs more exposure and solo stages and he'll be the end of us, really!!! He's already an amazing dancer, I'd love to see how much he can grow as a performer!!!

[@anikabhattacharya2489]

INCREDIBLE REACTION, MARK IS INDEED NASTY WITH THAT WAVE AND DANGEROUS, THEY BOTH WERE ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE, prob my second favorite mix and max studio choom BY FAR, AND AHHH JEFF U WERE RIGHT ABT everything!!

[@beckywestray9581]

I cannot lie this is exactly how to describe Jisung. He is AI 😊

[@Mikadiaries]

Jisung did not even blink he’s insane

[@mikky1115]

I really love it when mark's dance skills are appreciated! I always say this, but because his rap is so amazing, people are constantly getting surprised that he's actually a good dancer. Nice video!

[@kpopmulti_17]

Their concept is about humans and AI..... they're the only humans left in a world filled with AIs.

[@a_maze_in_kwangya]

And that's it. I already was in love with Jisung's dancing and style but now I'm far gone beyong reality! I need help!!!!!

[@kpoppergirl6235]

We could see Jeff fawning over Mark lee throughout the video

[@bj.9430]

Yes.... Mark lee a sexy vibe TT

[@onyour_e3756]

2:50 that "DAMN" really relatable😂

[@kpopmulti_17]

I KNEW YOU WOULD LOSE YOUR MIND ABOUT THIS ❤❤❤

[@elivile.]

Jeff basically fanboying over Mark is a whole ass mood, ngl.

[@Julia0R]

19:18 every time I see Mark🫠

[@Suphitchaya96]

I was gushing over mark when your reaction he’s so fine like you said 😂

[@claresseann9493]

The broken melodies recording behind is also up! I hope you’ll check it out too 😊

[@totydely-br5014]

OMFG this is amazing, Mark & Jisung’s individual artistry & synergy with each other is off the charts! This is such a different concept/style from what we’ve seen them do & they absolutely DEVOURED it - even down to their facial expressions telling a story. I’m so so proud of them & hoping to see much more from this iconic duo!! before this got released they had this kind of interview for this, and the concept for this is like humans in apocalypse/end of the world vs ai hence the styling change. and you can REALLY see the concept shine especially in their expressions - acting as humans with fatal and emotional expressions but the moment they turn into robots/ai their expressions turn cold, even at the end you can see Jisung just standing still not showing any signs of being tired (not heavy breathing for example) after such exhausting dance routine which is CRAZY!!! they pulled off this concept so well and this choreo was beautiful im so glad they had a chance to show off their talente 😍👏🏽🔥

[@simpleisme8]

Thanks to Ten & Winwin for opening the duo dance concept tho. Started from their dance cover then now seeing this expanded to K-scene.

[@rhythmrecall]

So happy to see you react to this and your analysis makes me appreciate it more! UGH they are so good and I was squealing along with you, Jeff 😊

[@be_mysunrise]

they did a behind the scenes for this and they explained about the theme and storyline. so they're the last two remaining humans on earth and are trying to escape from the AI robots. mark was captured first (when the dancers pulled him away) then jisung next. both of them were turned into the robots after that and they just can't live as an AI. they would rather die than become an AI robot, so they pulled(?) the plugs in the end.

[@kamilayussupova2923]

Love watching your detailed analysis even I don’t understand and dance at all😂

[@karekare1261]

Omg I was so so waiting for this. 💙 I was going to wait and wait….and now it’s here??! 💙

[@MsJoanis98]

I love love love their performance! I have always wanted them to show their versatility and this was perfect (execution, choice of songs, back up dancers etc.) The only thing I could probably nitpick on is so trivial --- I wanted few _silver_ lines where their joints are, for example, the wrist, shoulder and elbow with their black markings (android costume) because I believe it would have emphasized their movements just that little bit more ...like I said, trivial ^-^

[@nicolelopez2698]

I imagine them dying in a dystopian world and then being turned into androids XD sounds like a sci fi book I've read :D

[@mikky1115]

19:18 LMAOOO THATS LITERALLY ME WHILE WATCHING THEIR MIX AND MATCH

[@maplecake]

Yessss I was waiting for this!

[@mkpoo]

Thank you, Jeff!! 💚

[@dgyy2941]

Thank you💚🌱

[@galbi5752]

Me gusta mucho como reaccionas por que al mismo tiempo que lo analizas y muestras atención a las partes importantes también fangirleas, es chistoso

[@sophieconstantino]

was waiting for this 🌸

[@ksw961]

11:11 nooo the fact that u had to clarify is beyond me, like its obvious that u weren't comparing them negatively, but u needed to say it cuz some people will grab any opportunity to create arguments and fanwars

[@Sideeyeeeyay]

SLAY 💚

[@levivi7121]

They're just such great dancers! Although, I liked the second section a little bit better song and choreo wise. Btw, Mark also did booty work challenge with Jisung on Tiktok. Will you be reacting to the behind/documentary for this? Just asking. Thank you!!! :)

[@confused7970]

I didn't like it unfortunately and it's because Mark overpowered Jisung, Mark can't help it bacause let's face it he simply has IT! He's a great performer and his charisma is out of this world... HOWEVER, like you said Jisung's solo is way less complex than Mark's and the choreo somehow gives the impression that Mark is first and Jisung is second if you know what i mean I've seen the behind of this performance and Jisung said that studio choom approached him and asked him to pick a partner and he chose Mark and in my opinion it's a mistake, it just doesn't work. I tried to think whom Jisung would make a great pair with and i honestly found none, in my opinion he'd make such a great soloist and i'd love to see him featured in Choom "artist of the month" but yeah i still love the fact that they got to do something new

[@_ssj8545]

can you act to nct dream recording pls🥹🥹 (broken melodies&istj)!!

[@haesungshi]

IVE BEEN WAITIGNWBSJ

[@yohanaelysabeth]

Can you react to nct lastart Lucifer and U stage?? Thank you

[@hibestie8683]

when r u gonna react mixmax sunwoo & Q 😔 also the boyz made a comeback recently tho…

[@kimkai9005]

still waiting

[@jvlixn]

unpopular opinion: I dont like the reaction spoilers in the intro 🤭

[@Veda98480]

No hate to anybody involved, but this mix and max edition was a little underwhelming for me . Considering that both of them are such explosive dancers, they could have really chosen a better song. The concept is unique, the choreography was good but the choice of song is slightly off . Like the mix and max with sunwoo and q from the boyz was so engaging, they chose an iconic song called thunder from imagine dragons, that imo was a perfect performance - the song is great, the choreography was outstanding, the concept hit the spot and ofc both members are very emotive dancers as well. For me , this one really was a miss, and it bothers me more because this was one place where Jisung could have shined the brightest 😕😒

[@riangus4620]

I think it is because the main dancer chosen is Jisung and his main style is popping and locking, the song suit this kind of dancing style and he choose Mark to be his partner since Mark is a dance major
