The Kulture Study: ASTRO MOONBIN&SANHA 'Madness' MV REACTION & REVIEW

[@debbiephillips601]

I wish against all of everything that there could be another. I wish so much. Moonbin is my favorite favorite idol. I am so sad that he is gone. 😢

[@Namdonam06]

RIP Moonbin fly high angel🕊️🕊️

[@twisted_introvert]

Dark & sexy has definitely been their concept up til now, but in a recent appearance on Eric Nam's podcast Moonbin said that since he's had the big concept ideas so far, next time he wants to do what Sanha wants. And Sanha said he wants to do something kind of refreshing, yet cool...something along the lines of SHINee's View. So maybe next time they'll change it up & your mental preparation will be for naught!

[@V.Lopez432]

I'm glad Sanha will get to do his concept now, but I'm also sad. I LOVE the dark and sexy concept, both music-wise and visual-wise, and these two pull it off so well. I never paid much attention to Sanha until Bad Idea came out. I was just thinking, "Has he always been this attractive and sexy?" He suprised me with how well this type of concept suits him. He really shines. Of course he can pull off other concepts, and I'm sure whatever song they release next will be great, but I'm really going to miss this concept from them.

[@igniculusquartz1827]

i feel like Moonbin is probably a better creative director than Sanha and I'm a little worried about what it'll be like if they go down Sanha's preferences

[@theunbiasedone]

@@igniculusquartz1827 why don’t you just see, if anything the sub-unit has given us the opportunity to see them both in different light. Hey I’m sure no one thought Sanha can match and keep up with Bin’s stage presence but here we are getting 2 incredible performers working in synergy. So you never know. Just like Bin got the opportunity to try first and got better, same will be his case. He just needs to try, plus it’ll be good to diverse the concepts. Sanha is Sanha, Bin is Bin so the concepts will be different for sure

[@igniculusquartz1827]

@@theunbiasedone i mean sure but he could also flop, like you said you never know. also i think moonbins concepts have really cultivated this cool dark theme and sanha seems to prefer more acoustic and soft kinds of things and i don't think that would make a good title track. it could go either way like you said i don't know but i'm just saying what i'm thinking

[@theunbiasedone]

@@igniculusquartz1827 You seem to think Bin is a better creative director than Sanha when the latter hasn’t even tried yet. Let me ask you a question, Astro main sound was soft/bright etc but they did they flop when they switched suddenly released “All yours” with the title “One”? I mean that was different from Astro’s cultivated soft/bright theme. So again one doesn’t know if a soft acoustic music might perform or not on the first try, it might not be to your preference/taste which is fine. As I said before, diversity is good or the unit sound might soon feel stale for some. Plus I’m not sure Sh would go the acoustic route for the unit, that will be reserved for solo work. However Bin has expressed desire no pun intended to sing a Sanha ballad kind of sound one day even with the entire grp. It’s within your right to think/worry but considering this isn’t the first time I’m replying to you about your Bin/Sanha thoughts it’s really hard not to also think within my rights as well that you’re just against one of them. You know Bin also said he wanted a different concept which wasn’t dark can’t remember the interview tho so let’s just see again. Just as the rap part wasn’t “giving” to you but some also liked it, it might just be the same case.

[@jeonghanstoenails2254]

we truly didnt love him hard enough. Rest in peace Moonbin you're safe now forever and sorely missed

[@aaliyahlopezaquino9582]

"I'll be more prepared next time." I'm hoping and praying for a next time but reality won't allow us for another moonbin 'n Sanha🥺

[@juvelynmorales3421]

Yeah Madness is really really great . Moon Bin and San Ha had matched well in singing and dancing

[@jorieagrimano3982]

Binnie is very talented, as well as sanha ❤ Our beloved Moonbin, rest in paradise 😢

[@stanaccount]

PD: *pauses* "He could murder me" tHE WAY I SPAT MY DRINK BC OF LAUGHTER DHSHAHAHAH BIG SAME

[@anett3952]

rest in peace Moonbin🤍🕊 fly high

[@alantes]

We did not love him hard enough; gentle enough; well enough. We did NOT deserve him in the slightest. He was the perfect idol in every way. He was the purest among all pure idols. The kindest among all that is kind. He was as intense as fire; yet apparently as fragile as a drop of dew. I will forever be heartbroken. He was my precious; but one that I discovered way too late. I always typed in comments to exhibit my newly acquired love for him on videos featuring his staggeringly beautiful face and matchless talents... but it wasn't enough. He was as beautiful as the pearly moon light and now that is gone. It is just... this hideous frigid darkness.

[@seansswamp]

❤

[@heyitsrosie]

I feel every word you said. I actually feel so regretful I came too late.

[@nadila5544]

I hope you are feeling better lately. I just want to say we did deserve his beautiful soul and he was very deeply loved. Moonbin most likely suffered from Major Depressive Disorder, which is usually genetically inherited. This cannot end well without proper treatment and psychological therapy. I’m sure he knew how much he was loved and I can assure you he loved us back just as much. Hugs to you

[@havingfunnot]

I've been waiting for this for so long!!! Always love how PD reacts to ASTRO in general

[@paulamartinez2032]

me too 😁

[@adriellechiaki3891]

I already knew Moonbin, but I didnt follow up Astro's work. But damn, this song, choreo, visual, are amazing. I fell so hard for Sanha 🤭

[@defra3224]

Moonbin killed it, he is really a genius producer, he also has participated as a lyricist for madness and also is the composet and lyricist of his solo song desire, also MOONBIN has contribuited towards both who and madness with the concept, production and ideas, he also talked about how he wanted for the third mini albums to be connected in a way which has been shown

[@rose-ui5kx]

I hope you're doing ok

[@moonbap1407]

Finally!! I really waited for your reaction of Madness since it was released. It was their hardest (most tiring) choreography by far, and it was Sanha's first time rapping which he did really well.

[@igniculusquartz1827]

ngl i wasn't a fan of the rap part. what i liked about the subunit was that despite both being men they didn't have a rap part which is really refreshing in boy groups since they usually alwayssss have rap and this kinda hampers my opinion of the song a bit. also, i know it's kinda pointless to critique english lyrics in kpop but i just cannot get over the "i'm giving" part at the end of the rap verse because it's such a funny line that it actually distracts me

[@unatuna2]

FINALLY!!!!! i seriously thought PD wasn't going to react to this masterpiece nothing beats PD simping over moonbin (and now sanha)

[@shunleileinaing2885]

WHEN I TELL YOU I HAVE BEEN WAIIITTTTINNGGGG.. THANK YOU!!!

[@govindapriyadasi286]

I'm glad you enjoyed this video so much! I really like the development of the plot, they really seem to get more and more taken over by the aroma they create as mad perfumers. And I totally agree with you regarding directing. Now most of the MVs seem to be filled with CGI, green screen type of things which don't require too much effort from the point of view of directing. It looks impressive, but it's not alive, quite paradoxical - the more CGI you use, the less is that actual artistic quality of the MV, at least in my view. Therefore I really appreciate that videos from ASTRO and Moon Bin and Sanha's unit are ACTUALLY directed, they do have that movie feel, this filming quality contributes a lot to the power of the MV and feels way more artistically valuable.

[@monadeWH]

Love your review and you are spot on! Thanks for the love and support for MOONBIN&SANHA! And ASTRO!! If MOONBIN watched this, he would’ve been really happy and appreciate your eye for details and understanding their efforts. They deserve so much more recognition! 🌙✡️🙏🏻💜

[@KayPoppedUp]

This didn't eclipse Who for me, but I love the fact that the video actually enhances the song. Not that the song doesn't stand on its own (see me dancing in the kitchen to it), simply that not all videos add to the song so much as give it a visual existence. This one added to the song and my enjoyment of it. I'm OT6 biased with ASTRO, but for some reason Sanha has always stood out to me, which is notably hard to do when you look at the talent of the other members in their individual ways. It's been wonderful to see him blossom into the adult concepts, and to really find what I think is his personal brand. He's a beautiful mix of Moonbin's powerful dancing combined with Rocky's fluidity, but with a style he's created/honed, with the deep rap knowledge and production understanding from JinJin, the stable vocals of MJ, and he's definitely grown into some Eun Woo type visuals in a slightly different way. He's absolutely stunning, and to be as young as he is just blows me away. I'm so happy for him. Now I just want MORE of everything. Great to see you, PD!

[@unatuna2]

yup, sanha wrecked me HARD this comeback. even the other members say he's like a sponge so he's got the best of *all* worlds thanks to his hyungs

[@dbloskidelros]

SANHA has always been my son-shine. He has grown up so much from when l first got introduced to ASTRO in 2017. I still want to see more of them as l, too am OT6.

[@theunbiasedone]

This is somehow the first members-centered praise of Sanha I’ve seen that actually does praise SanHa if you get me. Most of the time it’s just brag and share him among the members and that’s that nothing about his individuality/ as tho Mj, Rocky, Bin, JinJin, Nunu opened him up and placed those traits there without his own raw talent/skills/hard work. So thank you❤💫

[@aussiecountry9320]

I've been so excited for your reaction to this after it came out, Madness is something special

[@prettigirlll]

this song is crazyyyy

[@pitaporter9374]

I just heard moon bin died so sad 😢 I'm heartbroken for the members of ASTRO

[@Jaehyuns_Dimples]

This sub unit is deadly my bias and wrecker together.... And the song is amazing!

[@ОльгаДюдя]

Everyone was expecting exactly your reaction. It's so branded. M/V Madness made MOONBIN and SANHA a multicultural duo. They have expanded the age and geography of their fans. Their tour of Asian countries is presented. Fans from other continents are crying out for the next round for them. Your reaction is a divine kiss to the entire M/V Madness team. Thank you for the pleasure. Thank you for popularizing MOONBIN and SANHA and MADNESS

[@osmaramartinez6395]

In this comeback everybody fell for Sanha, and i don't blame you. He is amazing and really gorgeous 💜✨

[@lavenderwisteria4245]

Rest is peace moonbin 🥲

[@cdy7048]

The choreography has such great musicality, it enhances the song

[@cdy7048]

14:18 exactly, it's such an iconic move

[@quinton3199]

Moonbin and Sanha are literally amazing together but I'm always looking forward to seeing solo releases from them both

[@silvermoon04]

Even my friends who r nonstans ended up replaying this song for 24/7 it really does have a sort of addictive beat amd their vocals r good too!! Overall this is really the best Moonbin sanha tt for me too! Even the styling, choreo were upgraded!

[@veronicaa5001]

Agree with you, it is also my favorite Moonbin & Sanha’s MV so far, thank you for reacting to it.

[@Lian.8524]

This Song is so Dope!!

[@dianalopezrodriguez6394]

I was worried there wouldn't be a reaction but I'm so glad you liked it that much 🥲 out of all reactions on Astro and subunits are the ones that I always expect

[@kryyfyy2410]

rest in peace moonbin

[@AngelaGWillis]

Thank you so much for watching 'Madness'. I was super excited to see that you have posted this, since I respect your opinion a lot; and you didn't let me down with your reaction! I know, I know...I love it, too! So, glad you enjoyed it, as much as me.

[@govindapriyadasi286]

Yes!!!! Thank you so much!! I've been looking forward to your reaction so much! You made my day!!

[@athyunjins]

it always warms my heart seeing others praise sanha so much

[@daniel_1235]

Sanha is so underated it hurts (⁠ノ⁠ಥ⁠,⁠_⁠｣⁠ಥ⁠)⁠ノ⁠彡⁠┻⁠━⁠┻

[@dearnadallas]

Really loved this song!

[@seansswamp]

God bless his soul amen

[@lovegoodrvc]

You made my day PD, thank you so much!! tho I've been waiting for this like forever >< I'm so happy now, thanks to you PD 💜💜

[@OROZVera]

Moonbin 💜😢

[@paanthor9293]

Thank you so much for your professional reaction for ‘Madness’. I always enjoy with your react to ASTRO/unit of ASTRO’s MVs. It’s so fun and makes me happy so much when I heard your compliments about them. You make many Rohas happy and proud to our ASTRO members so much while watching your reaction.

[@GmmBeast]

I think in terms of sound Who still takes the cake for me but Madness is definitely amazing! And Sanha snapped so hard I was breathless when I first saw him in this music video!! He's been my bias since the beginning of my ASTRO journey, and I was so glad when Moonbin and Sanha became a duo. So proud of him for growing so well 😭

[@Jenny-hf9ow]

Thank you for reacting to Moonbin&Sanha..

[@flavuabgs]

I loved your reaction and analysis!! Thank you for loving our hard working boys!! They did great didn't they??

[@ray4223-1d]

Was really excited for your reaction on Moonbin and Sanha , thanks so much !!

[@anneodtuhan4957]

What an amazing way of giving a different perspective of the video and musicality. Thank you for reacting to it💜

[@paulamartinez2032]

Hello! I was waiting for this video, thanks for reacting to Astro's videos! hehe I adore this pair, they are already very sensual, it is time for them to exploit that beauty and elegance, also the music is very good and the voices and dances are great so yes, for me it is a very good MV. Have a nice day!💜

[@mhellEunwooJay]

I really enjoy your reaction....thank you sir💜✨💪

[@nagischwarz2724]

Such a catchy song! Gets stuck in my head all the time. I loved your breakdown of what makes certain shots cool (I also thought those shots were cool but couldn't have explained why). I adore Who mostly for reasons unrelated to K-pop, but this song is very different from Who and a heck of an earworm on its own.

[@govindapriyadasi286]

Plus, I must say, I really enjoy your videos, PD! The way you deliver your thoughts , the sound quality, the background, your valuable, honest, professional insights - I appreciate it all so much! There are plenty of KZbinrs-reactors who quite obviously react in a certain way just to get more views, but aren't sincere, and what's more, they can say nothing more than "wow, that was dope, that was sexy, I'm dead", that's it. No depth or education value there whatsoever. And you give it all. Thank you. 🌸

[@xotitalulu]

This duo leaves me speechless

[@beckysmith1178]

Thank you taking the time to breakdown this video’s great aspects! If I had watched it without commentary I would have missed all these nuances. I can’t wait to see the dance practice to see all the specifics of their talented movements that are so descriptive of the theme of the song!

[@jnlyzg]

I'm glad you love it. And thank you for reacting to Madness ^^ I always love your reactions. So honest and so precise 💜

[@aroha-kpop9837]

nossa esperei por essa reaction desde o dia do comback e não decepcionou incrível!!!

[@세상에-s9j]

Yessss I was waiting for this!! 😊

[@LovelyLikeThis.]

been waiting for ur reaction! i really appreciate your opinions!

[@Oliviakhouk]

These two have become my favorite dual/ sub-group of the k-pop industry- their voices work so well together and rock the ‘dark & sexy’ vibe. Also I completely lost it at “oh, why is this song sensual? Oh! That’s pretty!”

[@baejiselle]

감사합니다❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥🥰🥰🥰❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@kollie3931]

I was WAITING for this one!! Thank youuu so much 🥰

[@KiaMoon26]

PD, you are awesome!!!!!

[@oceans2126]

Thanks so much for the reaction! Sanha and Bin is so amazing!!!

I'm back again and still love the way you noticing their detail, thank you, xx

[@athiyahazzahra2960]

Haven't seen your videos in quite some time, loving your background!

[@bluebicycleclub]

Eso es lo que pensé de Sanha en el minuto 1:57 del video

[@yr8211]

“He could murder me” lmfao 😂 same buddy…same!

[@novitahidajat1797]

The MV is dark, sexy, and aesthetic ❤️‍🔥

[@nataliereed295]

Thank you PD!

Did you know how long I waited for this rxn? Hhhaah! I really enjoy your videos - you are super appreciated. Thank you.(Should have posted this the first time I watched it, but for some reason, I was not able to.)

[@kseniagoksel]

Love ❤ it ❤❤❤

[@1Direction1fan]

I was waiting for your reaction! Had to comment before watching.

[@131onlinefan]

Honestly wasn't a huge fan of Bad Idea. Who is my fave, but I thoroughly enjoyed Madness as well. Sanha and Moonbin are a great duo.

[@mybabymoon98_23]

Ele falando que agora já vai está preparado para o próximo, pq agora sabe que o conceito deles é mais " sombrio " Ohhhh céus, por favor, eu quero uma próxima vez, me façam acordar desse pesadelo e trazer nosso Binnie de volta 😭

[@denissepinedaperez2122]

I dont speak english but only want say "Thanks for you reaction".

[@_EllaLost]

yayyy here we go

[@anyoneelsekitten]

I love love love this comeback too, easily 10/10 but...i think maybe you need to re-watch 'Who' again lol. It might make you appreciate this even more tbh 😅 but I may also just be incredibly biased since it was legit my 2nd most played song of all of 2022...🤷‍♀

[@aliefrasi7527]

14:24 the dramatic pause

[@R3dhawk95]

the bass remind me of back door

[@flowerbit4137]

PD Idk if u heard but cignature finally made their comeback a couple weeks ago with the song “Aurora” and mini album My Little Aurora

[@yukkuro]

[@soheeinmyheart]

Dark and Sexy concept suits Moonbin and Sanha.

[@erention1390]

[@rose-ui5kx]

There is no next time

[@caitlindenee]

I'm heartbroken that they won't have anymore comebacks as a pair. They always have straight heat. Take care Moonbin 🕊️ 🤍

[@Naamy19X9]

PD-nim I thought of you when I heard the sad news...I pray that you are ok.

[@govindapriyadasi286]

Sanha released his first solo album with the title song "Dive". The entire album is written very well, I'm telling that as a professional musician 🌸 so, just a suggestion, if you would like to react. 🌸

[@Jiheonade]

Slay, but did you ever get to see that ily:1 made a comeback?

[@TamaisHere3]

Please reaction higher and lovin me by Fifty Fifty. They got 4.5 rate from IZM critical music and it's the highest rate from 4th gen group so far

[@Wusuba1]

The background music reallly reminds me of stray kids back door ngl

[@seansswamp]

❤❤❤

[@cinerockgirl_]

Hey, I know you love how Rocky (Astro) dances and sings, but I want to know what do you think about he leaving Fantagio and Astro, because this devastated me. I mean... He was a strong member, they all are strong on your own way, but you know what I mean... I am curious... And now Moonbin and Sanha will be on a tour! I am excited to see then here in Brazil (Sao Paulo).

[@izabelleXoX]

Please react to Onewe Gravity

[@putceputce]
