Taeyong Day! Reacting to "Who is Lee Taeyong? The ultimate guide" & NCT U 'Baby Don't Stop' MV!

[@maxyb3914]

Taeyong is the ultimate package deal

[@Clumsy_Hearted]

SoundCloud songs show a great vocal range. “Blue” and “Swimming Pool” show his unique singing range.

[@sweetyongf]

The video didn't touch much on Taeyong as a leader, but he really is incredible. As he said, he has 22 children, he does think of them as his kids in a way, especially the Dreamies and new members. He's a constant pillar for all of them and the members often talk about meeting up with and speaking with Taeyong for advice. He's very serious when it comes to their job and staying professional with their craft, but he's never afraid to get soft and playful with them members. He talked in a recent-ish vlive about being out the members many times and they always ask him to try to get managers and staff to allow them to do things and he said how he'll do like aegyo with the managers, but tell the members it took a lot of convincing lol He's also very confident in his leadership that he doesn't mind sharing the responsibilities a bit so members like Doyoung and Johnny will frequently step in to help as well, and of course Mark and Kun are leaders of their own units. But everyone looks to him and says that when he's not with them all together the energy isn't quite the same. He always supports the music the other units make, posting them on his bubble or ig or doing dance covers. Beyond the physical and emotional support he gives his members, he's dealt with a lot as being the face of the group meant bearing the brunt of all the criticism and hate NCT gets. He's the face of the group and often who even SM will turn too if they don't think NCT is measuring up. He either gets critiqued for being too present in NCT's image or gets told he's not needed in NCT by haters and fans a like. His past is constantly used against him and he's suffered injury after injury his whole career. I'm glad he has his members who are constantly around him to support him as well and even keep us updated on his well-being when he's not around. He deserves the world and he does deserve a solo album, but I am grateful and here for whatever moves he chooses to make music wise.

[@coolgirl312]

I will never get over the fact that Taeyong was lured in to SM Entertainment by a piece of toast and became an All around performer and a parent to 22 (and counting) members.

[@pamelaguerra3768]

I'm sorry i don't want to come off as person who hates humour but can a i leave an explenation under your comment for other people? I feel like a lot of people genuinly believe this, taeyong didn't just get handed a piece of toast and decided on that base that he wanted to go to SM, he was aproached by an SM staff member multiple times and this person had a conversation with him about what the whole thing would entail, they did this in a cafe and they bought him food while they talked. The piece of toast is just what taeyong used to explain that the person came off as kind and thoughtful and that's why he decided that SM wouln't be a terrible place and experience. I understand that this is a joke but it's said by everybody always without context kind of like the sister joke and it ends up with everyone thinking that it's seriously what happened

[@coolgirl312]

@@pamelaguerra3768 Yeah I always knew there was more to it than a piece of bread being his deciding factor on auditioning/joining the company. It was just funny to think about, never meant for it to be taken seriously. Sorry if I came off that way.

[@drisshansfreetime453]

LOL there are many funny moments from SM artists with the same situation. Like KAI was bribed by his father for a Nintendo game and Tiffany chose SM amongst the Big 3 coz they have a Pink calling card, and Sehun being chased by recruiters for 30 minutes.

[@loveitftw]

@@drisshansfreetime453 wasn't Minho also chanced around as well? 😂 I remember someone talking about a ski resort or summit, being chanced by some lady's 😂 I don't remember exactly who it was now but I think it was someone from SHINee lol

[@SophiaR37]

Taeyong is a wonderful person! A genuine sweetheart and is super caring and loving towards everyone he meets!! He's also VERY close to Baekhyun, they became close friends in SuperM and to this day Taeyong still takes any chance he can to talk about Baek. It's very sweet!

[@justazy597]

Singing the national anthem while popping 😭🤣 I cant-- that's too funny

[@dandanie5821]

" I think Mark should step on me" KINKY! lol

[@lasciemie6346]

Taeyong also wrote about being whipped, hit and ruined, seems like there's a pattern lol

[@herongiii5141]

"It's a whole meal" omg sir I can't...... You literally represents every NCT'zen in this reaction BTW, HAPPY TAEYONG DAY!!

[@maugrimmy]

You should check out his souncloud, there you can hear his singing! All his songs are amazing! 😍👌🌹❤🔥

[@kakkai1ty326]

Up

[@suikalabsICHII]

He actually has a soundcloud account! He's uploaded around 6 or more of his own original pieces there (the unreleased songs that were mentioned in the guide). he did a song with baekhyun and one with seulgi :D

[@AlinaNegoescuqi]

I hope Taeyong will see your reaction, sometimes he watches people reactions and it's cute. I recommend you NCT U - Yestoday it's a nice song, Taeyong rapping is very cool!

[@LimitlessTY]

Thank you so much for reacting to my video! Even though it’s not that old, I already feel like it’s starting to be outdated 😅 Since then, he both has opened his Instagram, where he has released a lot of great dance content, and his SoundCloud, where we have gotten to hear more of his beautiful singing voice as well! And yes you are totally right he is just “Taeyong” and very true to himself and his art

[@drenkard]

Thank you for creating such a wonderful guide of Taeyong :)

[@Jadianne]

I'm a simple person. I see baby don't stop I click.👍

[@devakibhagwat6146]

Youre right, Taeyong can't be "categorised". The only word I can think of to describe him is "Artist". He's mastered so many different mediums of expression (art, fashion, music, writing, dancing, etc) and all these are a medium into his soul(who he is deep down) and it's so beautiful to witness.

[@fayeprime9631]

I have so much love for that man its unreal 🥺 He is a whole talent and personality package haha He deserves the world!

[@milindawilson9175]

Fun fact: Because Ten is Thai, they also have a Thai version of "Baby Don't Stop" -- there are live performances of Ten and Taeyong performing the Thai version, as part of their Thai promotions for this song, if you want to hear what it sounds like in Thai. As you saw, "Baby Don't Stop" is a duo performance by two of the best dancers in NCT. So this is more of a dance song than a song that is lyric heavy. However, I think this song also does a pretty good job of highlighting what great vocalists Ten and Taeyong are as well. Ten is an amazing singer and Taeyong, as you know, is considered a rapper of the group, but he is also a great singer. However, as you can see from this video, they are both multi-talented.That is why SM chose them to be a part of this duo. The MV for "Baby Don't Stop" was filmed in the winter in the Ukraine, at the same time as the MV for "Boss." So that is why you might notice that "Boss" and "Baby Don't Stop" have similar looks and vibes. You should also check out the dance practice video for "Baby don't Stop" because the performance version of this choreography is a little different and it incorporates backup dancers. If you want to see a behind the scenes of NCT's time in the Ukraine and the filming of "Baby Don't Stop" kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWiVqZutadKkgdk, as well as several Vlog videos that were shot by the members during filming -- Search SM's KZbin channel for "In Ukraine." NCT are kind of known for their Vlogs and several members pretty much document all aspects of their daily life, and SM posts the videos on its KZbin channel/NCT's channels. NCT has several channels -- each of the sub-units have their own channel.They also have an NCT Dance channel where videos of the members showing off their freestyle dances and special choreography videos that aren't part of official NCT activities are posted -- Taeyong and Ten both have several freestyle and solo choreography videos on NCT's dance channel, as well as other members such as Mark. They also have an NCT Music channel where they post videos of the vocalists singing covers of songs, among other song related content, and they have an NCT Daily channel where they post behind the scenes videos and some of the members special volg series, such as Johnny's Communication Center and pretty much anything the members film to showcase what they do in their daily lives. Yes, Ten has an amazing voice, that is why he is a lead vocalist and center of NCT, as well as one of the best dancers in the industry. That is also why he is the NCT member, so far, with the most solo projects because SM likes to showcase his dancing and vocals. Ten grew up attending an international school in Thailand where they spoke English most of the time, so he is pretty much fluent in English. So several of his solo songs, such as "New Heroes" and "Dream in a Dream," are in English. He can almost speak English better than he can Thai. LOL Ten actually is pretty close to fluent in at least 4 languages, which includes Thai, English, Korean, and now Mandarin. So, that is one of the reasons why he is a member of WayV because his grandparents are Chinese and he is good at learning languages.

[@aeyannie]

Pink blood is basically what SM stans are called now. It's running through our veins. 😂❤

[@teddybearjelly]

Taeyong has Vlives where you can really get to know him on a more personal note. That's where he gives advice to fans most of the time and shares about his day and life

[@voopytimes]

One thing I feel is important to say-- and something that TY wants us to say-- is that he isn't somebody that just had "natural born talent" He worked his ass off and became skilled. Originally he was so bad at dancing that his dance teacher told him to give up and he'd never debut--- so he'd practice in the basement every day until he was exhausted. He's a great reminder that you don't have to be born with talent to become unbelievably amazing at something!

[@haniyaya1026]

You should check Taeyong and Seulgi's song Rose their vocals together are so good

[@gm_world8859]

agree!

[@drenkard]

Yes! Rose is one of my favourites :)

[@kakkai1ty326]

[@justjen7195]

Cannot wait for you to check out Taeyong's SoundCloud!!! Thank you so much for this reaction!

[@IndigoAirX7]

Taeyong became one of my ultimate biases in kpop so quickly. The different sides of him on stage vs off stage and seeing how much he loves animals won me over so fast. But one of my absolute favourite qualities is something that you and the video both touched on, how he is just unapologetically himself. He does a lot of "weird" stuff in his raps like in Limitless and Tiger Inside etc but people end up loving it because he sells it with his confidence. And he's so talented in so many ways he's just a really incredible person. Also in Baby Don't Stop he says "gonna need your body" not "girl" which isn't really important I just wanted to mention it because the song is really popular at Korean gay clubs & pride events (at least it was the year it came out) due to the lyrics being completely gender neutral

[@sina.-.217]

Lee taeyong and ten best duooo!!😩😩❤️❤️ you should see a live performance of it too let’s just say it is chef’s kiss 😘

[@justazy597]

Yes. For a time, they had NCT music and NCT DANCE channel but unfortunately it's not active anymore since SM decided they would just post individual activities? of each unit on their respective channels or post it on the general NCT channel. 😔 But the videos are still there, they did not delete anything.

[@sweetyongf]

They had to stop posting on the other channels, because youtube changed their artist policies, so that all official content from an artist goes under one channel

[@justazy597]

@@sweetyongf oh thanks. So that's the reason.. I thought it was SM's decision

[@sweetyongf]

@@justazy597 yeah that's okay a lot of people didn't know because it mostly affected western artists who had multiple channels like Vevo and such

[@Samy.10VE]

Thankfully a lot of the members are starting to get IG and Taeyong and Ten post their freestyles/dance videos on their 🎉

[@Light-bu8yn]

I was watching a documentary but I transferred fast af as soon as a got the notif. More NCT. OMG😍

[@Jess-se4re]

taeyongs vlives are always my favorite because he’s so real 🥺 they feel comforting and nice

[@Clumsy_Hearted]

National Anthem and popping at the same time..😆🤣😂

[@miaumeow1503]

Fun fact , Taeyong said “estoy loco mi dulce coco” in baby don’t stop. That means “My sweet coconut, I’m crazy”

[@renzguitche3736]

That was quick lol. Happy birthday Bubuuu leader-nim King Taeyong!!🥳💚

[@regularchallenge...9059]

Taeyong = ult for life 😭💚

[@hazelcayetano8568]

Taeyong's fatherly instinct kicked in because he's taking care of 22 children! Just a Haechan is already a handful, having 21 others would make your head go bald already but this man Taeyong is a tough one. SM did good making him the leader.

[@darmentrout]

I was lucky enough to see this song performed live when I saw SuperM in Seattle. It was amazing.

[@Zz35674]

TAEYONG IS MY ULTIMATE BIAS ❤❤ HE'S THE WHOLE PACKAGE

[@heyvkj2412]

SM casting staffs need to be my matchmaker for real like how do they find these amazing humans

[@Sarah-wf3xv]

he has a song with Baekhyun and another song with Seulgi! his soundcloud is full of beautiful music

[@kaipo_0603]

Taeyong is such a special & unique person. I’ve never seen someone with a personality, stage presence and skill set like he has. He’s literally the perfect package of a human

[@aeyannie]

Oh my god, when you said you'll also be reacting to Baby Don't Stop I was screaming because you're in for a treat!

[@Sarah-en8pp]

19:11 He said: I'm gonna knead your body. Yup. Exactly.

[@sharanya4914]

Baby don’t stop is a whole bop. Happy birthday Taeyong! you should totally checkout his sound cloud. He has a few songs on there. He has a collab with baekhyun and another collab with seulgi so you can check that out too.

[@anaissanchez0408]

Happy birthday TaeYong! Taeyong’s sensitivity, talent and skills in all areas are incredible! He’s one of the idols that caught my attention at first sight and the more I know him the more I love him!

[@maugrimmy]

TAEYONG BUBU

[@harleydawn604]

Limitless TY has so many wonderful videos. I'm so happy you finally reacted to Baby Don't Stop (His lines that confused you were "Play play play play play I’ll play in the Paris Stay clay sketch dirt dough I’m gonna knead your body Rothko, Auguste Rodin, Claudel I’m gonna make you with warm colors All day holding, hold me tight") It's my favorite NCT song. Video is them flirting with the camera. Live performance is them flirting with each other lol. I still would love for you to revisit Monsta X (Gambler is a freaking bop and they have a cover of TVXQ's Mirotic that is pretty much spot on perfect) and Big Bang. Also would love for you to check out WINNER and iKON

[@Lala_ly]

TAEYONG BEST BOY 💚 He is the first person who captivated my heart since 2014 during SMRookies days.

[@K-pop_in_the_Garden]

"Baby Don't Stop" - the reaction we were waiting for! ^^ And more Taeyong singing voice together with Seulgi in "Rose"... heavenly! 💙

[@a_maze_in_kwangya]

That's why TY is one of my 3 NCT biases! I've never come accross a person like him. It's impossible not to fall in love with him. He can do everything. Stan Lee fully capable Taeyong for better skin!

[@ze7525]

NCT actually had a *lot* of channels. *NCT* *NCT 127* *NCT DREAM* *WAYV* *NCT DANCE* *NCT DAILY* which they upload their daily contents before. But right now, they upload it in their perspective channels. Like if it's a dream content it would be uploaded in NCT Dream channel. I would say NCT has one of the groups that upload the most. They actually upload some contents everyday. Contents, vlogs or whatever it is

[@sallybacaoco9743]

He is my bias in NCT♥️♥️♥️

[@Mojka]

Thank you for this video Austin! Taeyong is such a delightful, warm and calming person. Nothing relaxes me more than watching his vlives and vlogs tbh. Also, you absolutely must react to his Soundcloud :) All of his songs there are epic!

[@marcelagatica4410]

[@yehet8725]

Yes Nct has a dance channel (or had). Along with a cover channel (Nct music) and a channel where they uploaded content (nct daily). But since a youtube update like early this year? (kinda forgot when), everything is now uploaded to nct 127, nct dream, and wayv channel only :3 So the nct music, dance and daily channel's aren't used anymore (sadly). But you can still check the videos out that were on there ;D

[@lovely_charlyy]

taeyong on stage: 😈🥵💀 off stage: 💚😍🥺

[@devakibhagwat6146]

Taeyong's casting story is the most Taeyong thing of all (SM scouts bought him toast and he thought "they seem nice" and decided to go to SM for the audition T.T)

[@drenkard]

Taeyong is such a wonderful artist and leader - an amazing role model. I don’t say this lightly. I have so much respect for him. Wishing him a very happy birthday🌹

[@dowdydiva]

My favorite freestyle dance is him and some members of 127 dancing to the Pack’s Oh Go. His rapping is completely unique, and I love those weird little wordless ad libs he throws in the from time to time. He’s just so cool. You needed that large beverage for Baby Don’t Stop!

[@lnine4038]

Omg you react to taeyong! Happy birthday leadernim

[@coychick]

If you want to listen to more of his vocals, his SoundClound songs 'Blue', 'Swimming Pool' and his duet with Seulgi, 'Rose' showcases how talented he truly is!

[@liahertika9192]

Thank u for u reaction to our lovely leader.. I can't wait to another ur reaction about taeyong..

[@Samy.10VE]

Since this is a bit old I will say his soundcloud and IG are the best thing to happen in 2021 truely literally every single song is sooo unique he's released and shows his beautiful vocals then on IG you can see even more amazing freestyles and dances he does plus all his beauty and amazing mood boards he does before his soundcloud releases, you can really hear his vocals in Rose but my other personal favourites are Blue and Dark Clouds tbh they're all amazing! You're right you can't label taeyong he's just an all round amazing and talented in every possible way, though this guide was good I recommend checking out more Taeyong video since they did miss some bits and I do feel it was a bit rushed, I love 'Taeyong being your emotional support kpop boy' also more of his leader moments and general relationships with the other members which are precious. Also his vlives are the most comforting thing on this planet for me I watch them twice most times, once live without subs and then with subs 🤣 also Baby Don't Stop is ICONIC TAETEN DID THAT AND I'M SO GLAD I GOT TO EXPERIENCE IT LIVE 😊 you should watch a live performance of it from the SuperM tour.

[@syimato]

All i can say that SM really have a knack in turning rocks into diamonds. Happy birthday to bestest person in the world Lee Taeyong!

[@ritabarra6024]

I loved your face in the ASMR part of the song!! Finally you watched this!!! You reaaally need a guide for the subunits!! Love you!!!!😍

I agree ty being unapologetic about being lee taeyong is the reason i love him so much too… being more than anything i could imagine is just icing on the cake

[@TheTsugaya]

Taeyong actually has high range voice but sm asked him to lower it down :( but I really love his high voice. He sounds so cute when he did 우주주 with his high tone.

[@kevinkyu1]

OMG 🌹🌹 HAPPY TAEYONG DAY

[@devakibhagwat6146]

The lyrics to Baby Don't Stop are actually really interesting! Taeyong wrote his parts only the fly and was told that this might have been his best lyrics so far (2018) I hope you check them out, it also shows how artistic he really is.

[@ReapTheWhirlwind]

I've been waiting for you to watch Baby Don't Stop! Yoohyeon and Dami(she did Taeyong's parts and it sounds as amazing as you imagine it would!) did a cover of this and I loved it so I knew I had to listen to the original. Taeyong's whispering is really cool to me because it sounds as good as singing and it's consistent throughout the song, even in live performances.

IT IS SO AMAZEING😅😁😊💜 If you can can you watch some more Stray Kids too? They have written and composed ALL of their Discography except 2, and I think you would like Voices, IN, and Hellevator (whole lot of meaning, they wrote it themselves and is pre-debute). Also if you can please check out the new boy group Enhypen and their debut song Given-Taken, Drunk-dazzed, let me in, and their new mv Fever😁😊 sorry that was qlot😅😅 But I love your reactions!!!! Thank you so much💜💜
