Please react to Red Velvet - Wildside it's a japan single, the song will go wild i promise🔥 wanna see how you guys react to it

[@lukereyes9263]

This comeback MV and song was such a bold choice for Yuehua and Everglow, but it proved to be the right choice! Got them a quick show win and proved that GG can hit just as hard as BG.

[@onsi789]

Tbh ggs don't need to prove anything but they still slayed nonetheless.

[@gaearin1662]

This song still gives me chills whenever I listen to it. Especially the dance break instrumental part

[@pinkiepiereincarnate2291]

[@luvvvv124]

Ugh onda kills it everytime I wanna cry every single time !

[@zivak3147]

Yes!! I get chills whenever that bridge comes on, every single time xD

[@BigDaddyMacc]

same, when they drop and look down on the floor! there is something about that is so fn satisfying. Onda is the backbone of that move!

[@RoseAllDayyy]

I think First is one of Everglow’s best title tracks. It feels epic. The background vocal harmonies in the bridge are so haunting and beautiful, it’s my favourite part of the song.

[@adindahumairah1511]

First is my favorite title track from them, the song, mv, choreography, outfit and everything is perfect

[@dmitri9803]

I’d go as far as to say it is one of the best k-pop song that’s been released. The epicness but also the power of the lyrics !

[@chocodino931]

"is she telling me to come or to sit?" LMAOOO

[@Twicoven]

I know Pirate is on the maybe list but I hope to see it come up eventually, especially since there’s a really weird and fun instrumentation change from early 10’s electric synth to suddenly percussive drum line then pulling back for the pre chorus.

[@lawrencedivina8395]

yeah i remember the first time i listened to it, im like ,the song structure is weird, then play again many times

[@solarianess]

oh i love seeing jarod again i didn't believe it was him at first always nice to have him and his jokes around

*I've listen to this song soooo many times and that beat drop at the dance break just tingles my ears* 😍

[@insomnialovesdreamctcher5355]

Everglow's First MV is one of my favorites.

[@Kokola-qh9wp]

6:00 "Get it ladies" says Charlotte with the most dead-pan expression fathomable 💀

[@Ahjusshi_Brown]

Ugh, I love this song soo much. Idk what it is about it. Maybe it’s the intensity in both the production and performance, but I can’t get over it.

[@Ellie-qs3mn]

As usual, LOVE learning why a song is so satisfying! Thanks for the reaction

[@bp_revolution1]

Yay! EVERGLOW, FOREVER LET'S GO!

[@FromUtah]

I have to side with Henry. After all, the whole theme is that they awaking from a stasis capsule in a space ship. The mask has hoses coming from/going to it implying a life support type apparatus. Also, space = Star Wars. Henry wins. Thanks for this reaction. As a former music nerd, I enjoy your comments/criitiques. Hopefully we'll get a comeback soon.

[@erica8863]

Definitely on the Vader side of the argument. Also, I knew this would be a Henry stankface kind of reaction. The song hits so hard and sounds so powerful. A bit repetitive or overwhelming at times but the ending is fantastic.

[@rocacore]

love it when reactors say the same things but in different fonts LMAO

[@the2640682]

The video editing is getting better and better 😂

[@auleaf1210]

Yea this song really sounds so "big" always get me so pumped up

[@christopherbernard3379]

Am so excited when i see the notif, you guys did reaction of EVERGLOW! You guys must be watch or listen another of EVERGLOW's music 🔥

[@kei-og2dp]

Something about strong trap beats in a girl group song really gets me. Besides this song would be like Loona - PTT or ITZY - mafia in the morning etc

[@ivegyattocomment]

the piano slap was gold

[@coffeetae]

these songs seem like they came out ages ago and i always feel tripped out thinking you guys already reacted to it 😭 but i love the surprise

[@estella.5847]

The editing is so funny

[@afternoontaee]

both charlotte and henry are right. the shape is bane, the details are vader.

[@mermvidami]

thank you for reacting to everglow again

[@Syrin23]

Everglow NEVER misses, and I mean NEVER

[@FumIsChum]

Absolutely LOVED 'First' so much, felt like an superhero movie. Also, every time Everglow makes a comeback, it always tops my favourite Everglow title track. They release such great songs one after another. Absolutely cannot wait for another comeback.

This song never gets old, and I love learning about/catching new details that I may not have noticed before. That, plus getting to see them recreate certain parts on the keys

[@adrihye1211]

Everglow songs are aleays amazing

[@lexlyrix5299]

Facts

[@piercewjay]

it’s refreshing to see an in-depth music analysis of this song especially as a dancer, i connect to music really intricately so hearing my thoughts of the melodic changes and the types of instruments used go into words of the people who are professionals makes it feel so well rounded. but anyways, during first era, everglow were the only girl group to chart all songs on billboard, got their second win, won the best music video of 2021, and even more. there’s so much to this comeback that’s so amazing

[@zivak3147]

This just made me realise how good everglow's first actually is, like as a music noob I don't think I've appreciated it enough xDD Thank you for this reaction video, it was cool seeing the reactions and hear the comments

[@billy6678]

I initially only liked the pre-chorus and post-chorus and that’s how I found out Sihyeon is my bias😃

[@proboffensive]

i was so confused when i saw jarod. i was like, what timeline are we in??

[@ReacttotheK]

He just recently moved to the town I visit every summer and winter school break! So reactions from him and Daniel will be sprinkled in throughout the year since I can get 2-3 film sessions in with them a year 😂

[@cottonjun01]

everglow has such great songs

[@kyrantuen1121]

this song is the first everglow song i heard.and it is still my first in 2022.

[@mirielvi]

Thank you for reacting to Everglow again! First is such an intense song and I think that’s why the dance break part worked so well, it was such a bold concept that I think we haven’t seen a girl group do in a long time. I hope you guy end up reacting to their most recent comeback “Pirate” it’s a very 2010s type of sound and I would love to hear your guy’s opinion/thoughts on it.

[@AmandaaRose]

I love this song!! those chords are everything 🤩

[@owl9529]

UMU you're getting creative with sponsored part😂😂, Nord VPN must be happy working with you!!

[@odgykins]

This was a comeback that had to grow on me because it came after my FAVORIIIITE comeback of theirs, La Di Da. But once First grew on me I was all in. This song is superior.

[@lexlyrix5299]

Samee

[@009sco]

i'm so surprised and glad y'all reacted to this song!! one of my favs honestly!!

[@bhikhabhaichaudhari8387]

Everglow forever let's go

[@MaiNguyen-bj4eb]

Yuehua music is getting much better through times, but I hope they have better marketing to make their groups grow fast in the future 😢.

[@breadsmile]

this song is my fave from them

[@sosobann]

omg it's been such a long time seeing charlotte and jared i'm so happy to see them!!

[@careyv]

Recently started listening to these girls. I haven’t been much of a girl group fan. But I can get behind these ladies. Their badass!!

[@thaigei3538]

This song is a bop in my car alllll the time

[@gail1015]

Charlotte!!!! So nice to see you.

[@lexlyrix5299]

OMG been waiting for this! 💗

[@bobansak2583]

Fun Vid and Holy H, so fun to see another 1st gen reactor!

[@animegirl1414_random]

Honestly I love this song so much. The verses makes me bop so much, the pre-chorus gives me goosebumps and the second part of the chorus (sihyeon’s part) always makes me emotional? Like it feels like you’re going into battle and you’re outnumbered and most of your troops are wounded but you’re standing back up ready to fight. That kind of feeling. 1:45 san and yunho💔 and yay the real is next can’t wait!!

[@canubemybffwaht]

Break dance part is so good. This song is absolutely my fave everglow song. ❤💖💖💖

Cronchy notes, 2nd verse excellence... yes. OK OK but I see the Darth Vader just saying *hides*

[@skyhideaway]

i'm honestly surprised this comeback wasn't as appreciated as their other title tracks. i honestly think this was their best title track, it almost sounded like a boy group song but in everglow's style.
