The Kulture Study: A.C.E 'PINATA' MV

[@OfficialACE_BEAT]

PINATA’ is even better with your reaction! 🪅🙌💖

[@sunshineorstorm]

you know kpop is broken when A.C.E can drop this is and not receive immediate and general praise. It's really hard to make me gasp and be this excited about a MV these recent times, but this really did it. I'm sure I'm not the only one

Exactly

[@muchasganas5616]

KPop is really broken they've been sleeping on them since debut. like ACE was churning out even more high quality songs in the past. PInata was not even up to par to Higher, HZJM, and older albums in terms of lyricism yet it's still so good.

[@Anthoberries]

@muchasganas5616 right? Goblin and higher were top tier and it was so disappointing the response they got. They deserved so much better

[@hodyamorjohnnydepp9443]

I knew I could trust you, finally someone showed appreciation. The production went insane, they worked so hard for this comeback and it should be recognized! So thank you, I am really thankful for this reaction ❤

[@thessilian]

After weeks of hate for this song, it was so good to hear how much you loved this. Your reaction, breakdown, reasons etc about A.C.E and their songs was so refreshing. Thank you!!

[@ShortNeckedAlpaca]

Oh PD you just made my whole week better with this reaction !! Your appreciation for a.c.e almost brought me to tears, it's so nice to see someone articulate such beautiful words to describe their talent and uniqueness, and your detailed breakdown of the mv made me appreciate this a lot more !

[@FelipeBomfim]

You were the first reactor I've seen that realised they were outdoors in the first five seconds of the MV. Everybody else just noticed that when the sun came up. 😅

[@yesob1229]

I also lost my mind at the pulsing moment!!! A.C.E is already too talented but the combination of choreo, fashion and incredible MV production is truly just insane 🔥🔥

[@nellurban7826]

A.C.E. hands down have the best dance chemistry in the whole game, their choreos are always so f*cking powerful and difficult and their precision and synchronization is undefeated, all the way back to Cactus. Every single one of them would be main dancers in other groups.

[@hannahm9205]

i did a similar thing where i hadn't engaged with their music for a while and you're right about the time-travelling thing. they're so impactful with their aesthetics and as performers and it made me so happy to have that reaction again of 'whoahhh they did that???'

[@thechoice301]

the entire choice fandom was waiting for this THANK YOU FOR EVERYONE WHO RECOMMENDED IT AND TO PD OFC 😍😍

[@oliviajohnson6043]

I could not agree with your reaction more! When I watched I fangirled HARD! It has been a long time since I watched a KPOP video and paused to silently scream. It felt refreshing to be back in those days of pausing a vid to just scream in appreciation and love for a group's comeback. It definitely reminded me why I stanned ACE to begin with.

[@the_truth_untold]

I was so excited for this comeback, the most excited I have been is years for a comeback. A.C.E always delivers on the Vocals, the Visuals and the Choreo. Since A.C.E has returned after their service in the military, they have been pumping out songs non stop this includes a number of English songs (all amazing). The song "Down" has been my ringtone since 2021, I still love it. Prayers to Junhee and Donghun 🙏 in their recoveries. I hope A.C.E all get a much needed break and look after their health as a number 1 priority. Choice will be there when you get back.

[@MelloYellow1328]

I used to watch your reactions especially for BTS. I’m a fairly new A.C.E fan but as soon as I’ve discovered them through mind blowing vocalist Donghun himself, the group immediately shot up to become my ULT group It’s really good to see your reaction for A.C.E They have released a bit softer, more vibrant, more easy listening songs since their military discharge, but this was their first official comeback as a whole quintet A.C.E is so talented yet still after this many years painstakingly underrated I mean I only discovered them a year ago myself?!!! Please keep reacting to them and share their sheer talent with the rest of the world

[@ewill2351]

Thank you for reacting to Pinata!! Please do more A.C.E- They're sooo talented and deserve more recognition!!

[@mary_korab]

You should also watch [#AcePINATA] PINATA Trailer 'Intro : Recuerda, recuerda' for this comeback, same vibes, shoot amazingly too!

[@vickynikole22]

YASSS let's go A.C.E!! Thank you for a wonderful reaction PD! I love your breakdown of all the artistic elements they used from costumes to set. So fun to see the hype for A.C.E!!

[@nanzesther]

Thanks for reacting! Finally, someone who appreciates pinata and the boys the way they truly deserve. I just wish they got more of the positive recognition they’ve earned. Please keep showing your support in the future.

[@munchkin5679]

HOW HAVE THAT NOT HAD A WIN YET!? 😢

[@secretlyadragon4723]

The way I was waiting specifically for your reaction because this video production had no business being this good. I was shooketh as well. Their post military comeback was My Girl but Chan wasn't really apart of it so it wasn't a full comeback. They were waiting for him to bust out the big guns. This delivered in everyway I could have wanted. Thank you PD and A.C.E

[@dylanswierczewski3357]

This level of performance is absolutely ridiculous. One of the most underrated releases of the year.

[@syusyugarkwanni]

19:02 They took this shoot during dawn, not sunset! You can learn about it by watching their MV Behind video on their channel. They start recording from sunset (dusk), all night and finish by dawn. Thank you for reacting to A.C.E! YES BYEONGKWAN EFFECTS!!!

[@formoftherapy]

WHAT?! THAT’S SO INSANE AND TIRING

[@Hee.J]

They only did one take for that flour scene, it's crazy. You can also watch their performance video for Intro : Recuerda, recuerda, they way they filmed that is also interesting and the choreo is amazing. Glad you liked Pinata and and want to catch up on A.C.E! Their other releases this year were: mini album My Girl, singles Supernatural (with a ton of remixes that are also very fun to listen to), Anymore and Just Better.

[@chikenman334]

that finale is chefs kiss

[@Jordan-tg4ed]

Ace is so underrated thanks for the reaction

[@Keke88]

I sat in my chair and clapped after seeing this for the first time. They are spectacular on this. It gets you really wound up. Thanks for the reaction.

[@montse-129]

You were one of the first people I saw react to a.c.e's mv's when I first became a choice, I love that you reacted to PINATA PINATA is definitely amazing, it became one of my favorite songs

[@lunarsensitive1]

Thank you for reacting to A.C.E again!!! What a time to live in to see this particular A.C.E

[@AliaGregory22]

Thank you so much PD for this reaction❤. They’ve been getting hate recently for how “loud” or “badly mixed” the chorus is and I can’t imagine how these ppl listened to the song and gave it an hard pass. Like did we listen to the same song lol, this is Their sound and I can’t describe how it’s soo ACE even down to the “loudness” of it😂.

[@Mariana-iy9hv]

Thank you for reacting to A.C.E again and for all the praises! They deserve it so much! Of couse me being a choice I might be biased, but I couldn't agree more with what you said. The talent they have both individually and as a group is amazing, they are strong vocalists and performers and they always go all out to show us that. Every single one of their voices is my favorite too. Comeback after comeback they always deliver outstanding performance with amazing fashion and a charisma that only A.C.E can pull off. You can tell how much thought and hard work they put in what they do to give us the best of the best! Also non fans don't always realise they've been active for almost 8 years now and honestly they just keep getting better and better! And handsomer and handsomer 😆❤️

[@nenessalkki]

thank you so much for your reaction!! it's so nice to see people get excited and enjoy the mv they put so much work into this project 🥺💗 you're so right about A.C.E having that impact with every comeback and maintaining their unique aura i still don't know how they do it but they amaze me too everytime

[@ewill2351]

Thank you for this reaction and giving A.C.E the props they deserve! They are so so talented. Please continue reacting to them to help them be seen more!

[@Casper745]

ACE Is Really Just Evolution with their music and style changes that you're really enjoying every single detail of watching them just grow and outdo themselves

[@hunhive]

In my entire life I have never seen such a powerful mv as pinata however simple it doesn’t feel like it’s!! god it’s so good even the song itself is so fckn good

[@0x1sas]

aah i‘ve been hoping you‘d react to this! junhee‘s last part is so powerful i cried on the first watch

[@scelaeno6990]

those mfs just know how to put out a banger

[@secretlyadragon4723]

I said the same thing for the second verse. People are like, 'they're following the thrist trap trend'. THEY ARE ALL GROWN! They wanna show their chest they CAN! Leave them be!

[@constantina3352]

I'm so excited, i could cry! Thank you so much for reacting to A.C.E!!! I love their comeback!

[@TMJW]

Really did think you had completely forsaken A.C.E after a year and three (technically four) releases and no coverage. It left me very confused and concerned. Appreciate the praise for “PINANTA” after the absolute savaging this release has received from netizens and bloggers. It’s funny how imperfections only matter for small independent groups and never those with big noisy fandoms. Ah well, I may have given up on the K-pop “community” after all this but I can never give up on A.C.E

[@UndercoverZz]

💯🎯

[@briarrose]

I’m still obsessed with Down 😂. Nice to see some A.C.E. appreciation.

[@xeshirem]

I loved their debut. They're back!! Thank you for reacting to them and sharing this whole thoughts 5:00 6:00 onward , they are kings in delivering a theme. I think it's different from being concept kings, but it's like watching a stage dance performance

[@Taemin_Jonghyun_Flower]

Thank you PD for your input on A.C.E I was waiting for you to do a reaction. This video blew me away. For me this is the best MV 2024. The power, the Choreograph, everything they put into this was breathtaking

[@katemosk3757]

Im so glad u checked it out, u literally perfectly put all of my thoughts about A.C.E and this comeback into words, thank u so much! ♥

[@cpamartorell]

This song is great! It has noisy aspects but well done and even better, the performances have been amazing! Many people have dismissed it because of the shouty chorus😢

[@MaiAnneNguyen]

Love your réaction! I was so captivated by the members that I did not even notice that they filmed outside 😂

[@hyunmi03]

omg finally I’ve been asking for this for a while😭thanks pd !! hope you also check out their previous comeback ( my girl ) even if it’s late

[@ngairegreenwood8608]

Yaaaaayyyy I'm so happy you warched this PD I knew you'd love it!

[@MirageKate]

Omg I was waiting for this SO BAD. THANK YOU!

[@yagmur11111]

I was waiting for you to react to it!! I was so sure you would do it because this mv's scale is just amazing. You should react to My Girl too!

[@stephanieburton8950]

I have been waiting for your reaction to this , thank you so much from an Aussie Choice ❤

[@Mariana_Zp]

I needed this appreciation after all the unecessary hate on twitter.. Thank you ❤

[@Wanderflies]

Their mv deserves so many more views. Thank you for reacting to it.

[@Lunédiary-9]

I love a.c.e so much, i went to their concert and they are just amazing, vocal kings🔥🔥 Pd: waiting for the &team reaction 😍

[@cra6005]

thank you so much

[@Luciagomez0212]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REACTING TO A.C.E!! hopefully you can react to my girl, effortless, anymore... they are so amazing as well. your reaction was so relatable!!!

[@lunarsensitive1]

Facetime, Supernatural and Just Better also

[@spectral__]

It's really bittersweet after such a great comeback that now both Donghoon and Junhee are on hiatus. Donghoon has a digestive issue that *should* resolve, but Junhee suddenly started getting symptoms of a partial facial paralysis disorder (may or may not be what happened to Justin Bieber). I really hope he'll be okay. Aside from being my bias, it's just awful to suddenly lose your expressiveness, especially for such a bright guy like Junhee. 😭

[@micxiii]

Finally! person have taste!!!!! Thx for reacting to A.C.E ^^

[@albie22]

They had the mirrors and they shot it "backwards" because the concept of the mv is the movie Tennet!! Also the dancers' outfits are inspired of that

[@krissve]

I’m so glad you checked them out. I was waiting for this review. They are so underrated and appreciated it’s crazy. I really wished they got their first win with piñata. Hopefully we get them there soon.

[@Shwethascar]

Waiting for official ACE account to comment and add to their playlist 😁

[@blackpearlstuds]

Yeah, this comeback should have received more positive attention. The artistry that A.C.E and all the dancers put into it this performance is exceptional. To learn all the details of how this was shot makes it even better.

[@phxxbxs0325]

I've been waiting for your reaction to any of their songs because I loved your other a.c.e reactions. SO glad you did it🥳

[@Yino_lemmon]

I'm so glad you like it but seriously you gotta listen to their other singles too tho, even tho it's not impact songs like Pinata or Goblin, but it wouldn't lose against Down Love love Supernatural, Just Better and Effortless are all just phenomenal

[@gene4859]

thank you! the song is so amazing that can be overwhelming for some people, but if you know how to have fun, you will love the song

[@cynthiaevez9906]

Finallyyy..you react to them❤

[@七海哉太]

Thank you for A.C.E's reaction ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@a.c.eworldwide]

If you think DOWN was a good English A.C.E song … EFFORTLESS is going to mind fcking blow you !!! One of my favorite English kpop songs in the entire fcking industry 👏👏

[@coco_jaee]

Got7 just released their new album! Waiting for your reaction PD 🥹 hope to see you soon

[@ambercarnation6144]

In all honesty, when I first saw the MV...I felt underwhelmed (seeing it first thing in the morning might have been a contributing factor lol). The time and effort of the teaser trailers, photoshoots and snippets of the sing we were given...I wanted to see them all come together and be reflected into the MV. So, when I didn't see that I was a bit disappointed to see the MV was an upscale performance video. HOWEVER!! I love the choreography, the chemistry and trust among A.C.E and the backup dancers that's showcased throughout the entirety of the song itself. Love that the MV shows us this from angles live show performances cannot emulate with the same care. A.C.E is amd has been my ult kpop group since I first discovered them. They pulled me into the kpop world! Now, seeing you love them just as much in this video is beautiful to me, and I'm so happy with your mature input on all the technical aspects. Love to hear all these opinions ❤ thank you for reacting to A.C.E!

[@angelbubblyme8932]

PD you need to react to the other English a.c.e songs that they just released!~ 1) Effortless-without chan (unfortunately) 2) Angel - without chan (somehow the Korean version that's stuck in everyone's head rather than the Original English version) 3)Supernatural- with Chan ( has over 50 versions of remix to this single alone) 4)Anymore-with Chan but it is a sad song 5) Just better- with Chan (the most recent one- the feel and sound of the song reminds us of One Direction songs) there are other songs, not English that I would love if you react to them especially "Facetime" funfact: -lyrics/작사: 와우 (WOW) Composer/작곡: 와우 (WOW), McDamon, Mogli, 제환성 Arranger/편곡: Greg Parys And (My Girl) without Chan after byeongkwan done with military they went straight to practice and release this song funfact: the backup dancers are (professional dancers + plus 50 fans (participate in dancing in the MV)

[@rinrinau]

hey pd, i’m not sure if you’ve heard of vvup but they’re a new fifth gen girl group that debuted last year. maybe im biased but they’re like crazy fucking talented (their member kim is quite truly the best fifth gen female vocalist) and their music is not only really good but really unique. they’ve got three songs - a prerelease called doo doom chit (if blackpink and newjeans had a baby it would be this song), their debut locked on (one of the most unique choruses of last year for sure) and their most recent comeback ain’t nobody (i think you’d love this one). they’re also having a comeback tomorrow with 4 life! i think you’d really enjoy them for both their music as well as their really unique singing tones. they’re truly INSANE if u ever want to check them out 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
