short hair is actually so hot on PD

[@vichoswett5053]

I thought i was the only one thinking it, i love how it looks on him

[@jasmines205]

it suits them so well

[@katiekawaii]

It really is.

[@depressedbleep5398]

Righhhht

[@Rafikaaaagi]

they looks like losing weights tho.. their hair and new style suits them so well.

[@anastation11]

I like Maniac but Untied.... made me levitate, i HIGHLY recommend it too

[@katiekawaii]

SAME

[@BlueRes-lc4gi]

ABSOLUTELY. I want to see him react to Untied so much 😭

[@mousemonmaker]

PD actually reacted to Untied on Patreon and they loveee it :)

[@cvbb]

this is their peak music era and I am so proud of them!

[@haymondongo]

i'm very happy to see that viviz is not an attempt to extend gfriends legacy. viviz is a group by their own merit. they have their own sound. they been delivering and executing their craft with love and care.

[@Kalidreamine]

As a BUDDY I agree ❤❤❤ I feel like I’ve matured along with their music and it’s amazing to see their growth as artists

[@somebuddy.]

❤❤

[@NeedForMotivationn]

Not much of their previous songs, but Maniac really feels like a Gfriend song. It feels ethereal, sad and happy at the same time

[@francinev3971]

​@@NeedForMotivationnnot really. for me, loveade is the last song that sounds like a Gfriend song. Bop Bop, Pull Up, and Maniac are all very VIVIZ

[@MaluSilva-yx8nl]

I feel like Umji is glowing different since Viviz's debut, but on this MV.... The amount of emotions on her eyes, her voice, the viral choreo part... Love to see her shinning so much

[@fizfiction]

She’s completely in her element these days I can’t take my eyes off of her while watching their performances her vibe and charisma is crazy! I hope she gets a solo one day

[@masjuu1528]

the way I’ve been waiting MONTHS for this reaction hehe

[@lshiineee7967]

Same! I was legit checking every month if it's out yet

[@NiinaKawaii]

Same! But I lost hope later and thought he might have seen it in his own time. But I'm glad it's out!

[@felipegcintra]

Righttt!

[@tuoanh2430]

sameeee

[@DatVideoDoe]

Untied needs to be a reaction too. It’s what VIVIZ themselves wanted as the title track

[@tamarlevy5949]

umji really owned this comeback in my opinion. not only is her vocal ability insane, her acting (facial expressions& vocal acting) sold the concept soo well. it seems to me that sinb is more cold and resentful towards this maniac love, while umji desperately clings to it, and eunha is still captivated by it. the storyline in the mv makes it seem like sinb and umji had a falling out, sinb is tired of it but umji wants to fight for them, while eunha mostly stays at umji's side (comforting her). can be interpreted in a friendship view but i really see it as more of a love triangle.

[@HuginMunin]

PD, you gotta do Untie. One, the song is great, but 2, you'll love the cinematography/editing.

[@Kalidreamine]

This 👍

[@somebuddy.]

Oh yeah.. the performance video is 🔥

[@qtacontessenu]

Umji has never shined so bright, i LOVE how she just gets better and better every comeback. she really owned this era, i'm obsessed

[@aRedBaroness]

Maniac is great, but omg the Untie performance mv. You ain't ready

[@matthewaaronpacinos3697]

did not think this would come but here we are,,,maniac is SOTY lets go!

[@kaseyh.1021]

Umji shaking her butt got them a hit and I’m here for it

[@danielarobles8990]

their album was soooo good too!!! and I like that bpm actually did the smart thing and is getting the most of Maniac and Untie's success and sent them on tour

[@eilindene]

Viviz is really proving themselves to be one of the most consistent groups out there. I haven't disliked ANY of their title tracks and their bsides are generally super solid. The english lyrics in this one throw me a little, but otherwise i can't deny how good it sounds. I appreciated your breakdown of the lyrics!

[@gimchh]

time to listen to [Untie]. shows an overwhelming performance It's a song that the members wanted to do as the title song

[@Ninesky1]

BTW you should REALLY do a reaction of Untie, it's a b-side of this Maniac EP and they have an MV for it, you will NOT be disappointed 🤭

[@nkfq_]

Wait, I thought you would just skip Maniac because it has been MONTHS since this song was released. You know what? I find it funny that some people say, "The facial expression is bad; they don't even smile during performances; they look like robots.". LIKE!? HELLO!! This is a sad song; how can you expect a bright smile and eye winking every 2 seconds to this? Regarding the song, I love it so much. It is very easy to listen to; any time of the day, I can play this song and vibe to it. Please check out their performance video 'Untie', it is very different from 'Maniac'. 😶‍🌫️

[@brit1317]

!!!

[@user-yf7mc9pl8c]

The b-side UNTIE was on plan to be a double title track. It has a performance video and it's a whole another level. Should watch it, you will be amazed

[@xinaddanix]

"let's be honest you are enjoying it right now" lyrics accurate timing was impeccable 😂😂😂 been on repeat since it came out ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@sseraph777]

this has been the first hit for me by Viviz and wow did they struck gold. This song is an actual masterpiece.

[@grace.christina]

I really appreciate how you dissect and pay attention to all of the little things, like how they pronounce the notes and stuff! Most reactors don’t do that. You’re the only one I actually enjoy watching.

[@jag0603]

I would never really expected, even before, that Sinb is you bias even during Gfriend. I was shocked honestly when you tell in one of your reaction that she's your ult. I would have thought you will be a Eunha or Yuju type... but nope, my girl caught your attention, and well, me too. 😊. Thanks for loving and supporting the girls.

[@Taeneas]

viviz maniac definitely gonna be at the mama this year

[@Dailydoseofeverything344]

actually there is a show they discuss the lyrics because the lyrics actually trended as well in SK

[@mohsinanaser3301]

I really appreciate your reaction. I completely agree, especially noting the emotion behind each line of the song. From SinB's opening to Eunha's first line, all the way to Umji's poignant "This is love, right?" moment, you can truly feel the growth and maturity of the girls. It's something to be proud of. I'm curious if you're planning to listen to their b-side "Untie," even if it's on Patreon. I'd be thrilled to see your reaction to it.

[@keb_in]

you don't understand how much I've been waiting for this reaction 😭❤️

[@chiaravallini532]

This song is soty material for me

[@justinehercthehuman]

RIGHT??? Sadly people are sleeping on it.

[@catrina1589]

omg I didn’t expect this

[@nicolem3951]

I love the lyrics of their other single Untied, they even have a performance video of that. I recommend

[@thackybuddy2912]

I'm so excited to see your reaction to this song. OMG!!!

[@bagrins.a.4715]

Idk why but this song has the gfriend feelings for me, I absolutely love this song

[@aaronclariz3014]

Maniac is upbeat with sad undertones which a lot of GFriend songs have

[@jag0603]

I'm so happy that you finally reacted to it. This song really is up to par for the SOTY. The girls put their 1000/100 in every songs they made. And the girls in this MV are so stunning to look at. Eunha is so doll like. Umji her charisma is overflowing. And I understand your crush for and why you are so enthralled by Sinb, caused yeah, me too. She's so hot here 😊. I love how you are so into the lyrics, caused most will just go to the aesthetic of the MV and the girls visuals which I don't blamed them. And I know you didn't react to it, but their choreography here really went viral especially the last chorus one. Hope you can listen to the album soon. Bsidesof this album are so great as well. No skip really. Vocally, the girls really give their a-game in this album. Please do watch or react to Untie Performance Video as well, you will be amazed how they level up and its a very different from Maniac haha. Btw, they will be having a US tour this July-August. Hope you can come. Thank you once again PD nim. We missed your reaction. Till then. Bye

[@Casper745]

Viviz Has beautiful melodies and sound engineering with the choreo and vocal lines that you're really enjoying especially when you're listening to Umji

[@aaron_ton4012]

This comeback was so fire… Untie’s performance vid is really breathtaking, you should totally check that out

[@zulina9508]

It would be really cool if you go to their concert in the U.S.!

[@Kalidreamine]

YESSS I’m definitely considering going myself. Not sure if they’ll come back here so might as well

[@zulina9508]

@@Kalidreamine Gooo. I would really love to go but I dont have a visa :((

[@zulina9508]

@@Kalidreamine Aprovecha si puedes!! Yo soy de México y no podré verlas :( Iban a venir a un festival (KAMP) el año pasado, pero cancelaron... Tengo la ilusión de que saquen fecha en una segunda parte de su tour. 🦋

[@junkotamiya]

Please review VIVIZ's "UNTIE" performance video. It is sooooo good and well choreographed.

[@yukuolee3562]

Welcome to my song of the year finally! You got some fantastic comments on the lyrics and acting of Maniac. Did you know that Viviz girls wanted "Untie" to be their title track and the company helped them change their mind. You should see their totally different "Untie" performance video.

[@Kalidreamine]

Dude the bridge takes me to heaven ❤❤❤❤ it feels insanely good

[@sliverhalo9286]

I am shocked you didn't say anything about the choreo its my favorite part of this comeback

[@honkhonk1712]

The music video does not capture the best parts of the choreography.

[@jameslance9851]

been looking forward to watch this reaction! would love to see your reaction to VIVIZ UNTIE

[@user-yf7mc9pl8c]

I understand what you're saying about the lyrics, Even Umji questioned the existence of her last lyrics of the song "It's coming down"😂

[@aliciaacevesestrada8946]

Your reaction was the only one I wanted to see, glad you liked it!!!

[@Kalidreamine]

Viviz have a tour in the USA ahhhh I WANNA GOOOO ❤❤❤ I think ima go

I haven’t watched one of your videos in forever… you look great :)

[@mgw9127]

I’ve been waiting ages for this! When it was on your schedule on Patreonto react to the album, I couldn’t wait and was really disappointed when it got canceled but I’m so glad you remembered it and went back to it!

[@justinehercthehuman]

YES FINALLY PD!!! This comeback is my faaave.

[@zulina9508]

OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCHH

[@chaitra.0_0]

My brain deciphered the chorus as : This love is maniac, maniac, maniac. But i can't (deal with it) (So i'm) killin it, killin it, killin it. Not sure if that's how it is but yeah..

[@francinev3971]

i'm thinking it goes but i can't (kill it) killin it killin it killin it as in but i can't - (i'm now) killin' it she can't kill it but she is killin' it

[@tami6666]

ive been waiting for your reaction for this omg

[@HelloHello-gj2og]

I’m gonna see them in concert next month, I’m so hyped for it 😁

[@MaluSilva-yx8nl]

After all the time since this release, I thought my eyes were deceiving me when I saw the notification for this video haha

[@kit93]

i enjoy watching you vibe more than the mvs tbh

[@Musketeer009]

Hi KS, so good to see you again. Someone's been on a diet!! Maniac is a beautiful love song, one of the best I've heard in K Pop. You didn't mention it but I feel I need to call out the lighting techs in this vid. They have done a fantastic job, especially on the close-ups when the girls are 'outside' on the car. They've hit the nail on the head. Wonderful.

[@jasonlewis3304]

I must say, this is the best reaction and analysis video I've ever seen. Your breakdown of the layers and intricacies of the song and video is amazing and made me realize why I love it so much. The constant push-pull within the song and the visual direction of the video is SO well done. This was my SOTY last year and I'm so glad you loved it too.

[@paolavaltierra1229]

SINB OWNED THIS ERA 🥰

[@milkenzi1]

this was my song of the year

[@castellanosluis28]

I love VIVIZ! Untie is one of those songs that never leaves my brain but Maniac is also super addictive! The lyrics are very sad since I believe it has to do with loving someone as horrible as as the relationship is! Also if I can recommend Shownu X Hyungwon Love me a little cause I don't think I have seen it on the channel and it also texts stuck in my head, so good!

[@zafina.v]

Thank you ❤

[@sowoluverrrang874]

wait you are back !!! i have been waiting for like 1000 years😢😢

[@oscaralvarezb5156]

Wait until you see untied… man, this is their best work yet, I’m so proud of them ❤❤❤

[@captaincherry413]

i wanna thank those adamant patrons on your behalf, bc this is really an unmissable song! and since it went a little viral in Korea i'm hoping it'll be performed at some year end shows maybe. these girls still have every ounce of power from the GF days! also the MV story & song lyrics have me SO soft lol. i want a whole movie, or a drama even, about this band where two members fell in love and then fought. i want the 900 page novel of this story 😍

[@ellanote2260]

this song is amazing and still my fav

[@cristinadewindt1605]

now that we got Maniac, patiently waiting for Untie 👀

[@somebuddy.]

Yess Viviz!

[@trixyjinx6764]

"i kept killing it" would make more sense dont it? the choreography is nice and it fits the whole soft/cute/flirtatious vibe of the song.

[@belensanchez-ti9sr]

He missed the iconic part of the choreo 😢 He closed his eyes the two times 😂

[@miesty]

I missed your reactions! I think you'd really like Viviz Untie. It's really good and completely unexpected!

[@hachikochan9026]

He really likes Sinb 🤣🖤 and i highly agreed that the way they sang the song is very well executed, the combination of Korean and English on mostly of the lyrics makes a very catchy line 🖤 they delivered it really really smoothly ✨

[@formoftherapy]

SinB was my second K-Pop crush 😂 so this was a big reawakening

[@jag0603]

​@@formoftherapy what era of gfriend did you realized that sinb is your 2nd ult?

[@twostepghouls]

Some of the English is kinda wonky but honestly the song slaps so it's fine

[@pinkcricketer1921]

It is great to see Kpop's best reactor back in action. Let me just say, you look great! You look and sound healthier than I have ever seen you.

[@brit1317]

ALL I CAN SAY IS IT'S ALWAYS BETTER TO BE LATE THAN NEVER IJBOL THANK YOU FOR THE THOROUGH ANALYSIS OF MANIAC PD-NIM ^ Ig the only problem with this song is that ends (manifesting for maniac to be nominated for SOTY honestly) months after I'm still obsessed with this song

[@earvinleh9685]

This is what an Soty looks like. One of the best song if not the best for 2024
