REACTION to E'LAST (엘라스트) - 악연 (DARK DREAM) MV

[@evie_m3000]

Nobody is doing it like E'LAST, I love how dramatic their sound is, it's like a throwback to the 2nd and early 3rd gen groups.

[@nadyakang3463]

Yeah! ✨

[@sootekken]

I totally agree with you, E’Last and Kingdom are truly carving their own path and they improve with each comeback they have, I ult both of them for that reason! And yessss E’Last has such a wonderful 2nd Gen sound it’s so gorgeous! I can’t wait to see you dive deeper into E’Last!

[@herelaythemagicbean]

their vibe is so different from everyone else indeed. they initially caught my eye because of that and i never left since then lmao it's so refreshing to have such music nowadays. their MVs are also incredibly aesthetic. and they have a storyline going through their MVs which makes them even more interesting to watch. these boys are so talanted. i'm proud to be a fan. thanks for reacting to them

[@Maerz_]

Can you explain the story line to me? :D I wasn't able to get it so far haha

[@THIRTYNINEX]

I love that you mentioned Kingdom as well when talking about E’last’s unique sound because I feel the exact same. Those two groups caught my attention SO HARD after their debuts and I’m so interested to see where they go from here because so far they’re absolutely killing it. E’last slayed on this track as usual and it was breathtaking. I love their sound and visuals, truly some of the best in my opinion.

[@heyitsrosie]

I believe no one is doing it like e'last. They're really the only group left who's doing the orchestral pop sound. They remind me of infinite.

[@TrishMilburn]

As soon as you pointed out how E'LAST and Kingdom are really standing out for their theatric, epic and unique takes on K-pop, I was like, "Yes! This 1000%" And it's why I love them both so much. Also, both groups' stylists are top tier and add so much to the epicness of the groups' performances.

[@froggytes]

I love that they do music so different. ( them and Kingdom both) they really do give me 2nd gen fibes and its so nostalgic

[@isalvim]

their styling is so great too, the cropped royal outfits are EVERYTHING

[@atqh2304]

E'last never disappoint. Usually i will skip Instrumental version of title track but i never once skip E'last Inst. version. Their Inst. alone are *chef kiss*

[@melvinmino7273]

I knew the comeback just now,I'm crying because how much effort they put in this mv...one day they success,I'm gonna be so proud as a ERLING🥺

[@gyuu8674]

i started stanning e'last bcos i never thought that i would ever hear a kpop grp that is very theatrical and classical at the same time, which i really love.

[@Carpa2103]

The names you mentioned were all correct (Choi In, Wonjun and Romin) Orange hair - Wonhyuk Black hair - Seungyeop Grey/silver hair - Yejun Blue hair - Rano Black/silver hair - Baekgyeul Hope it helps!

[@i_m_bich_18]

2:45 here in the m/v, in that something lift like structure or something, has already been used in WJSN's UNNATURAL m/v, the EUNSEO part if u remember

[@Betakitten87]

Honestly, I can't stop listening to it/ watching the MV! It's incredible!

[@__Sunny___1010]

The dance practice is really impressive, you guessed right! And you certainly won't regret listening to their b-sides either!

[@justinjyeung]

This is just so good!! I love how the melodrama of it reminds me of 2nd-gen, and indeed, if you thought their previous title tracks sounded like film scores, this sounds even more like purely a film score, since it's hard to really discern the typical pop song structure in it! In particular, the way each title track ends, they really each sound like some number in a musical, and after each song, the next act continues! ;o Absolutely right, I drew the comparison between E'last and Kingdom since Kingdom's debut, because they had the sword props, and I thought about how E'last's "Swear" would have been really cool with sword props too, since the choreo does allude to knighting and the members holding swords and such :o

[@Elywwx]

absolutely, no one is doing it like E'last 🤩 thank you for always reacting to them!!

[@Avi.joyyy12]

This comeback is chef's kiss!!!!

[@aliciapark6241]

This is masterpiece! Props to Producers!

[@chronos6259]

no one else is doing it like e'last and no one can tell me otherwise

[@isalvim]

i stg their producers make the best use of strings and guitars, like bruh.. when the song started i got instant goosebumps

[@treebig7267]

This song is wonderful! E'LAST is good boys.

[@able-minemelody7872]

Thank you for the reaction! I am glad I am not the only one who feels E'last and Kingdom give similar vibe and they are both just iconic!

[@mica8804]

And they went to Studio Choom with this song!! It would be amazing if you could react to their performance there.

[@ameliakryz]

I’ve known them 3 days ago only and what got me real bad was the instrumentals… my reaction was the same as yours… the vocals followed as i immersed myself in it more and yes by now i know all their names and watched their vlogs already. Quite obsessed i have to admit already. But trust me, those instrumentals changed me and made me feel alive. This is the first time I’ve listened to the instrumental of any title track for the whole day on loudspeaker here at home!

[@airheadwonnie]

we need more of orchestral kpop. i know music is good when im a gg stan and a bg is one of my ults. they're so different

[@fufu-jh]

Cant want to see ur reaction to "creature" is gonna be epic

[@wattpad3155]

Thanks for reacting to them they are such a hardworking boys

[@soniathefan]

I love how much you love their dramatic orchestral sound!! your reaction in the beginning right when it started was very similar to mine haha I was so pleasantly SHOOK because it was a new take on what I already love hearing from them. maybe I love it even more because I was a violinist but they really have INCREDIBLE orchestral parts 🥰 I also wanted to share a couple of fun connections in the MV: - there are a lot rectangular blue frames around, one of which was present in both their TOC and Dangerous MVs - earlier this year, they had a unit called E'Last U, and both when they were releasing teasers and in the MV, when you see half of the members in red and half in white, the members in white were in E'Last U, and the ones in red were not - when they enter the clock at the end, the choreo where they "stab" themselves is also in the intro of their Swear choreo. which would make sense if this era wraps up part of their storyline (aka it's in the "beginning" and the "end") - the blue butterfly!! not sure if it appeared earlier than when I saw it at the end, but it was also in TOC if anyone likes making connections in MVs there's definitely some cool things to look out for and I know I probably didn't even catch everything but these were just a few things I noticed!!

[@Xuxi-Myke]

The album is amazing, every single one of their albums. Personally my favorite Bside is because of you from the awake album

[@charlenecaderao9594]

The only thing or vibe i remembered when i heard this song was Infinite - Be Mine Orchestra Ver, Golcha's Wannabe RTK Ver and Boyfriend's Janus because of the strings use. I hope more Boy Groups will release this type of songs, it really showcase their vocals and dance. Btw, i am a fan of Kingdom, i really appreciate your comment :) E'Last Fighting!!!!

[@charlenecaderao9594]

Also BTOB's Insane :)

[@atozatiny]

Its a pretty universal opinion that they bring a very 2nd-early 3rd gen feel. Ive thought it felt very MBLAQ/INFINITE like

[@deon5021]

this is probably my fav elast title track so far! (also pls react to ciipher's blind!)
