The Kulture Study: WayV 威神V "无翼而飞 (Take Off)" MV

[@olimelonhead12]

That transition towards the end where Lucas grabs the camera as the transition just.. blows me away tbh. I've rewatched it so many times!

[@AmyKissTheDark]

personnaly the one what just killed me is right before the dance break, ten goes take off point up then bam down and they split their legs and do that fiiine dance break, also the fact hat the cmera follow ten's arm movements,from right (your screen right) to the left.

“Idk who dat is, but he’s good looking” THE POWER OF WINWIN Edit: since I’m having a conflict with myself, have no idea who PD’s talking about anymore, and people have different opinions on who they think PD’s talking about... I’ll just say this instead THE POWER OF WINWIN/HENDERY/WAYV (like in general)

[@AlwaysWIZONE]

he might mean Hendery, no offense but it's because his reaction and the mv scene wasn't necessarily sync up.

[@kikilala9371]

im pretty sure he was talking about Hendery. You can obviously notice that his reaction does not really align with whatever is on the video displayed to us .

[@guzhuoyan]

But we still need to acknowledge Winwin’s looks since SM’s been treating him like trash

[@Aya-kj9ct]

Not talking about winwin

[@danted8842]

@Polar Bongo PD's reaction is 3-4 seconds behind what is shown in the video. He says that right after Hendery's scene so that means he is talking about Hendery's scene because his reaction is behind what it's being shown. And the full line is about Hendery "I don't know who that is. But he is goodlooking. Kinda looked like the Chinese Jhonny"

[@kimbapbekidding1522]

It's always so sad when people don't know Winwin even tho he's been there since the start. He gets no lines at all. I'm happy he got way more lines in WayV tho. Woah this has so many likes thank you

@@kimbapbekidding1522 He was talking about Hendery, PD's comentary is like 3-4 second behind what is being shown on the video. He mentions not knowing the person at 2:44-2:45, that means he is talking of what is being shown at 2:41-2:42.

“This shit is a revelation holy crap” LMAO MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY

[@fkaofficialmy]

To sum up PD's reaction : *MINDBLOWN* That I agree.

[@Person-vg7br]

Chinese Johnny = Winwin. He's actually a part of NCT 127. The most recent MV he was in was 'Simon Says', but he's barely had lines or screen time in most of 127's title songs which is why you probably didn't recognise him. He's currently active in Chinese promotions with WayV so he's not active with 127 in their US tour and 'Superhuman' comeback. Edit: I am now more so confused than anybody. Either way, PD can now learn about Hendery, Winwin and Xiaojun from the comments, as they appeared in that order in those very confusing 12 seconds of commentary.

[@vaanshichauhan9868]

No pd knows winwin. He recognises him in nct mvs but here i think bcs winwin has got new look leaving baby face and after a long time so he might have failed to recognize.

[@AlwaysWIZONE]

I think he was commenting about Hendery, because here's a thing : If you pay enough attention, his reaction was a little bit late and he was definitely the "one" that looks like Johnny on that Music Video.

[@Person-vg7br]

@@AlwaysWIZONE at 2:52?? That wasn't Hendery, it was Xiaojun, but I think it was a continuation of his previous comment. Either way, never any harm in promoting Winwin 😊

[@rainb0wpiie]

I was blown away by this video and song as well! It's my favorite song from WayV so far, even tho all of their songs from their new album are amazing, you should definitely listen to them! And yes, they brought out a physical album but I think only in China because you can only purchase it from a chinese website.

[@louvebird]

Label V is just SM’s Chinese company I think. WayV was originally called NCT Vision(I believe) before debut but the name changed because of Chinese law against Korean media so the name couldn’t be clearly associated with NCT since NCT is very clearly Korean

[@abicui6874]

Nah they're two totally separate companies

[@aarya7083]

@@abicui6874 no they're not. label v is sm's china EXCLUSIVE label, created just so wayv could promote in china without being explicitly connected to sm. if they were just under the name of sm entertainment, it would be near impossble for them to get any kind of sales in china since it would be very obvious that they were under a korean company

[@Akira-jq6nj]

Abi Cui SM didn’t buy a company they’re just using up that label in order so they can promote in China

[@g.hmusicc]

I think hendery is the one he’s saying “chinese johnny” cause 1. I think he knows winwin, 2. The video is not synced up with the reaction (the reaction is a little bit after the video) and 3. I don’t think winwin looks like johnny at all lol, while hendery *does* look like johnny in a way. Why are we even fighting over this lmao they’re all beautiful.

[@soleraprincessgongjunim3320]

take off is original to wayv, and they just came out with an album. three of the songs are from their ep, but along with take off came two more original songs, which brings the total to six songs 1) Take Off 2) Regular (in chinese) 3) Say It (an original) 4) Come Back (in chinese) 5) Let me love u (an original) 6) Dream Launch (an original, but the views on that particular mv are sinfully low) hope this helped!

Good thing I'm not the only one who was absolutely stunned by the transitions!! I loved the mv concept for wayv's version of regular and in this mv they really impressed me again! Bless the people who worked on their videos

[@fsjukebox]

Btw the team behind this MV is Korean, the same team that does MVs for a lot of SM’s artists, including other NCT units. But agreed, visually the MV is on a whole different level than most SM music videos. Edit: they shot it in Ukraine, just like Boss (which you liked a lot iirc!), but the aesthetic is so different.

This is the kinda mv that is SO good that you can watch it again and again and still find new things to like about it. Like some of the transitions you mentioned I didn’t even notice before and I’ve watch the mv so many times already. Xiaojun’s part “can I be honest” and then when he’s suspended in the air is my favorite part I think (but I might be a little biased). Also I’d recommend you check out A.C.E’s comeback Undercover but it looks like several people already did lol

idk if that's true, just because they've referred to regular as their debut in videos and variety shows, and they even posted on their social media about their 100th day of debut last month before take off was released, which suggests that regular was their official debut. just food for thought lol

[@shakyraindrop]

Thanks for your input on the MV. I hear a lot of fans saying that SM is wasting WayV and "sleeping" on them, when what I see is completely different. The production quality alone of WayV's two MV's shows how much SM cares about them. A company doesn't put that much time, money, and effort into a group for kicks and giggles. It annoys me so much when fans complain about SM ignoring WayV or individual members in the group. The fans sound so victimized and demanding, especially they can't recognize the quality of what their getting. It just blows my mind sometimes... Sorry for the rant, though. I really appreciate your comments on the MV and the Chinese music industry. Your perspective as a producer is indispensable.

I agree. Out of all their muisc videos I think Wayv’s Regular and Take Off are the most ‘NCT’ ones. I cant word it out properly but from their past mvs there is this ‘exotic’ feeling that makes them NCT, like the uniqueness that even from a far you’d know it’s theirs. For me it’s Go, Limitless, 7th Sense and Regular. But Take Off gives off the NCT vibe the best. It’s hard to explain but yea.
