The Kulture Study: THE BOYZ 'THRILL RIDE' MV REACTION & REVIEW

[@anastasija4553]

“Every shot of Hyunjae is SIN” I’m crying

[@piaspiazza6851]

PD just manifesting hyunjae's whole career path made my day 😂

[@clandestinecoherence]

I died hahahaha

Sunwoo actually auditioned to be a singer and not a rapper

[@formoftherapy]

WHAT

[@user-bp8ki4eu9t]

@@formoftherapy Yes, he actually got into their agency as a vocalist! But later on, they asked him to try rapping instead, and he was good at it - so he ended up becoming the group’s rapper and even appearing on HS Rapper when he was still a newbie

[@mishell-pn6hg]

​@@formoftherapyyup!! and also lately he always participates in every dance performances along with q and juyeon. it could be said that he's the top 3.

[@annis749]

Sunwoo actually has an AMAZING singing voice, he's singing in quite a few of their b-sides or doing short covers of songs on vlives, he's truly too talented 😭

he looks so good

right!! he had 5 whole seconds on this song but still managed to wreck everyone.. his power

[@huangrenjunism]

EVERYTHING ABT HIM THIS ERA IS PERFECTION

[@melcchiato]

PD, Hyunjae has actually starred in a webdrama called "I Can See Your MBTI" which you can find on KZbin, but there are only 2 short episodes, I'm not sure what happened LOL but as a hyunjae (and juyeon) stan I totally feel you PD, his lifeguard look especially was just PERFECT... and I can totally envision Hyunjae making it big as an actor in the future! He's already shown lots of potential in the webdrama, he's so charismatic :)

[@sristirai3543]

Yeah about that. They only make 1 or2 ep then they wait and see how audiences react to it. I think if it gets more views, likes and demand they make a full web drama I think. But idk what happened.

[@Akio5209]

Yes and i think youghoon too has a big potential for acting he already do some role but even his last cover was incredible for the acting that one make me realize how much he can be good at acting

[@sristirai3543]

[@sristirai3543]

@@Akio5209 actually I’m one of the Deobi who got to know about tbz from road to kingdom. Before that I didn’t care about kpop that much. I just was a causal listener but since I liked watching survival show and saw tbz I was so impressed and mesmerized with their performance. I am so thankful that I got to know them. Really I’ve never stanned anyone this much

[@user-tz9kg6ut6r]

14:04 EXACTLY! hyunjae is that handsome that you can't just "omg he's so handsome". NO! you gotta come up with the whole ass speech about hyunjae becoming actor, coming up with the storyline. yes, he is that handsome. absolutely agree. and such commentary as about hyunjae visuals is another reason why i really love your reactions videos PD-nim!

[@jeooo8239]

the fact that hyunjae is the most popular member among koreans, what more could happen if more koreans get to recognize LEE HYUNJAE, i mean he might end up like cha eunwoo

This is actually their biggest comeback yet!!! Topping charts, 500k first week sales, 5 consecutive music show wins (so far), highest charting 4th gen boy group on Gaon Digital Chart, and many many more!!! The Boyz is really leading the 4th gen bgs now!!

[@minyoongisaegyoinfiresme5277]

5 wins now! They just won on Music Core!

[@d3v4nsh1]

[@NilaalElam]

BEST DECISION EVER

[@christianjaylorca7282]

Bestest decision everrrrr HAHAHA

[@Laura-pq3uh]

Pd's face every time hyunjae appears represents all deobis this cb lmao

[@Ororo8]

I see you have not come across Sunwoo's heavenly singing voice yet. When I first heard him sing, I was so shocked! His voice is amazing! He could legit be a lead vocal. I recommend listening to some of his singing compilations!

[@stefanieb4076]

AGREED. His sweet vocals on Break Your Rules??? Absolute chef's kiss. If you'd never heard him sing and only listened to the song, you'd never realize it was their MAIN RAPPER with that heavenly voice, but Sunwoo is one of THE greatest fourth gen all-rounders, end of story.

[@vernonscheekbones]

His vocals actually made me stan. I knew for sure they were all-rounders, the same feeling I had when I saw the Hiphop unit of Seventeen can sing too, it's not sth you see much in groups nowadays

[@filippa1434]

I feel like Hyunjae being a life guard is kinda ironic since he kills every one XD

[@ot7biasedmashups]

I'd straight up drown and then thank him from then afterlife💀

[@MsSophLee]

“mf get into acting, sorry I swear when i’m happy” HAHAHAHAHAA i’m can relate to this so bad but as a mirae, yes I agree I strongly AGREE, he’s going to be huge (rn he’s already being praised and recognized for his beauty but he has the potential to be a king). Also he already started to act but I feel like it wasn’t enough to show all his talent, hopefully he will have more opportunities.

[@malaki.h]

PD at this point I think we need a deep dive for the boyz please

[@lira5076]

Sunwoo’s singing voice is actually really pretty and romantic sounding, similar to jacob’s in that way but definitely different tones. You should watch jacob and sunwoo’s vlive where they cover a bunch of songs on acoustic guitar, you can really hear just how great of a vocalist sunwoo is!

[@melcchiato]

You uploaded this just as TBZ uploaded their bathrobe dance practice..HOW TO CHOOSE haha hope you enjoyed the song and video PD!

[@dylanthatsit390]

WAIT IT'S OUT?? AISHAKOWS BRB

[@melcchiato]

@@dylanthatsit390 YESSS

[@thatkpopsis]

I’m already Sunwoo and Hyunjae biased but they really shined here, especially Sunwoo. I’m so happy they just got their 4th win today! They deserve so much more recognition and attention for how truly talented and hardworking they are.

[@renjunist4083]

PD, sunwoo is a really good singer too!!! He has such a different vibe when singing, I love it so much

[@enhypenxo]

yesss the boyz rlly put a lot of creativity, effort and hardwork to their performances!! they are all so full of personality and charms! i'm so glad to hear that u got very interested in tbz!!

[@Avi.joyyy12]

I have Du du du du stuck in my head. Also, Juyeon, Hyunjae, and Sunwoo were doing the most for me!!!

[@nicolinetorres8929]

Yes! Bae Yeongjoon is correct, and I completely agree with you on this Hyunjae actor spiel. Bae Yeongjoon was so big in the film industry that his Winter Sonata drama reached even my mom and she made me watch it when I was still a kid. I could definitely see Hyunjae take the same path as him if he chooses to do so because he has the charisma and natural talent for grabbing the camera, plus I think he starred in a webdrama before too!

[@archie3680]

At first i didn't liked it but now I'm addicted.

[@freshie_n7366]

Hyunjae, Eric, and Juyeon are my favs but this mv made New into the list just cuz of how cute that hair color looks on him. Hyunjae is so handsome like how can they not cast him in a drama yet?

[@wanisani1723]

PD always interpret my thinking into words better than I could ever done lmao. This is my favourite tbz comeback too. It does not sound too over the top but it is extremely refreshing and their skills are even more outstanding with a simpler song like this. I truly enjoy it and I can't stop listening and watching their stages because they're really really good on this comeback!!

[@thatkpopsis]

Hyunjae is seriously beautiful! I just watched Strong Woman Bong Soon and the male lead, HyungSik, reminded me so much of Hyunjae! So I’m hoping he will get into some Kdramas as well. I still need to watch the short one he did.

[@iceyytea]

i loVED this song it was so unlike any other title track they've done, but it was still so clearly THEM you know? actually, the entire album was full of sounds that were new for them, but they found a way to still make it sound like a "the boyz song". i totally agree with what you said about it being a fun song-EVERYTHING about the comeback was just so fun and bright and youthful;; i genuinely genuinely have fun watching their stages too, because you can see how much they enjoy it themselves. the music video- i could probably pause at any point and hang the resulting frame up on my wall, because it's stUNNing i love this comeback so much, and so far they've had 4 wins for this song so!! their hard work, talent, and overall enthusiasm really shows and im really happy for them

[@alexlee4490]

This comeback is fantastic. And the most fantastic thing about it is tbz themselves enjoy it so much. And I agree their skills rn are on another level. Like really immaculate Cherry on top is the album bc tbz once again added amazing songs to their already awesome discography. Perfect summer comeback ofc 10/10 Thank u PD for your reaction/review/analysis S2

[@thecatinthepowermv]

Visually Hyunjae kinda reminds me of Park Hyungsik (who is an actual idol-turned-actor). That's just a random thought that popped into my head when you metioned about Hyunjae going into acting

[@rainbowgirl949494]

YES! hyungsik was in my mind too

[@megan1362]

At first I wasn’t sure about the song but the more I listened to it the more I love it

[@Samcheese4]

I believe Hyunjae may currently be in a web drama “I Can See Your MBTI” 🧐

[@cs.5052]

he was like on the pilot episode but they just never posted the following chapters ??? idk, we streamed the pilot eps a lot, idk what happened

[@Mai-ab1]

yes pd check out the album! your gonna like "merry bad ending"

[@ot7biasedmashups]

I felt personally violated by this comeback💀 Also, I love how well they're doing with this! Over 30M views in one month only and 5 music show wins! They're doing so well and it makes me happy.

[@deobz5075]

One of things I loved most about this comeback is that the members seem to genuinely enjoy it and have so much fun! This is so apparent not just in the MV but in all their music show performances.. Maybe it had to do with the fact that they did Kingdom for the last few months, which I could tell they felt a pretty big burden bc of, and a few times it shows in their performances.. So coming out of all that and into this very fun and refreshing comeback where the members themselves said they want to have the most fun in, that energy is SO tangible.. So I'm not just happy to watch them perform like this after a while, I'm also happy FOR them that they're able to just enjoy performing without the burden of a being in a competition! Their fun energy is off the charts in this one, and it's what makes this comeback so much more amazing than it already is..

[@dass.dance21]

I've BEEN WAITING FOR THISSSSS

[@sakshiSingh-nb7cm]

All of the members of The boyz are hella good looking. Everybody has their own charm but hyunjae just really really really attractive..... you just get drawn towards him even without realising.

[@va6319]

ME RN "MANIFESTING ACTOR HYUNJAE" PD!!! THAT IS MY BIGGEST DREAM!!! TO WATCH EVERY SINGLE WORK OF HYUNJAE'S ACTING!!! and you told us, with your MF happiness!! YOU HEARD MY MIND!!! HE HAS THAT TALENT! fyi, in fact. Hyunjae was casted from an ACTING ACADEMY! (and i believe, he has skill and talent in acting too!) PLUS he acted in a Pilot webdrama (ICYM by YT YogurD) and his acting was GOOD! esp. for a newcomer! But too sad, it's just a pilot webdrama :( every day, manifesting his drama role! like in a real drama or movie T_T like you said, HYUNJAE WILL BE A BIG BIG ACTOR!!! SOMEDAY!!! I BELIEVE IT!!! and when that day happened, i will come to you, and shake your hands. "PD, YOU ARE RIGHT! HYUNJAE IS A BIG, BIG ACTOR!! RN".

[@giulianaperrone437]

actually hyunjae has already started acting!! he was in the web drama "i can see your MBTI" :D i feel like he should participate in a more mainstream drama tho!!! he would be sooo great

[@phiehub234]

wasn't a big fan of the boyz sound and only liked their giddy giddy up song but this one left me impressed and I was listening to it on repeat when it came out

[@sukoshinotsuki]

I think tbz's this cb is one of the best cb ever in kpop! MV is simple but looks great! Especially song and coreo is awesome! It's fresh but also hip hop and full of energy ~ Also you should check their dance practice, their energy and sync is perfect!

[@minamimeme5486]

Lol, PD cracking me up before landing on the right title of *Flower Snack* 😉 That's when I fell in love with The B0YZ pre debut and I been following them up to Thrill Ride ever since!♥️😊💋💐🍜🌯🎠🎢

[@camdensnow]

as some other deobis have shared, hyunjae starred in a mini web drama called "i can see your mbti" and it was also just announced that he'll be in an entertainment show soon with other idols called "we became a family" also please watch out for haknyeon's acting debut in goedam season 2, younghoon's new drama, and a probable second season of hyunjun's bl drama color rush :)

[@eevilalice]

As much as I appreciated their more recent comebacks, I'd been missing their brighter sound, so I'm so happy with "Thrill Ride!" Even if it's reminiscent of earlier songs, I still think it's more mature, like they're not really going backwards.

[@Paramoreex0]

i love this song a lot bc it is fun and bubbly but the lyrics arent like, silly or childish. i feel like sometimes groups feel like they can't do fun or bubbly bc it's too "immature" but it works really well here.

[@elizawbu5722]

yeeees the boyz finally!! this comeback was so refreshing

[@Avi.joyyy12]

I would purposely drown just so I can be saved by lifeguard Juyeon.

WAIT, PD, YOU'VE NEVER HEARD SUNWOO SING BEFORE THIS?!??!?!?! Please, I recommend you listen to their 3rd mini-album, The Only. Sunwoo sings quite a bit on there. It's HEAVENLY. That boy is an all-rounder, I'm telling you. He's so, so, talented.

PD being a TBZ fanboy is my favorite PD and I’ve missed that so much! I just love the way you called out everyone involved in making Hyunjae look That Hot, like, if you look at the irony of him dressed as a lifeguard when all he does is ruin our lives. Also WHAT did you have to make me picture a 30 year-old Hyunjae for?????? There isn’t one single member in TBZ who won’t look absolutely devastating in 10 years! Creative Kernel doesn’t have this name for nothing and they absolutely deserve each one of the 5 wins they got so far with this comeback. They’re the kings of 4th gen and I’m so fucking proud of being a stan

[@stefanieb4076]

PD, I appreciate so much that I can always rely on you to give both honest and relatable opinions. Like, I know if you didn't particularly enjoy this, you'd simply say so, and that means your unabashed appreciation of the video brings me SO much happiness as a Deobi! I fully agree this is one of the best things they've ever done and that the brightness of the concept really shines a light on just how far they've come as a group, honing their skills. I found myself laughing and bouncing and nodding along as you highlighted the same things that delight me. And Q/Changmin's face when he dances is SUCH a big part of that! You can see it in their RTK Heroine stage with Oneus, too, the way he just lights up when he dances and you can feel how much fun he's having and how much he loves what he's doing. That sense of joy from the Boyz just MAKES this track.
