No one, absolutely no one:
SM: I heard you guys missed how "I Got A Boy" sounds
IM DEAD 💀😭
I'm guilty
And Zimzalabim too lol
Was shocked when it suddenly turned into a BoA-style song in the middle 😅😁
Being a Stan of SM for over 10 years now songs like this are not jarring to me anymore I’m used to it LOL. In second generation K-pop things like this or so normal LOL
lol, we are also kpop and SM stans for over 10 years but music remains subjective either way. We're "used to it" too, but that doesn't mean you have to necessarily like it.
@@kjunkies I wasn’t saying you had to like it. I wasn’t arguing with your reaction. I was just saying it didn’t shock me as much because almost every Sm group has a song like this 😆
Ah ok well just making a point too cause it seems like others think we don't know how SM works and that's why we were a bit taken aback by the structure 😅
For sure this song structure is very SM, but definitely not done as smoothly as others
Just putting our 2 cents out there too - seen several people try to justify the song just because its SM and they're "SM stans", but we hope people can also learn how to admit they don't have to like a song from a group they like~
@@kjunkies yes, say it louder! I'm an EXO, NCT, and RV fan but I don't like all their songs. And I really like Zimzalabim or One (Monster & Infinity), or We Go Up whose structure is similar to this song but I don't really like Next Level though I listened to it a dozen times now.
As someone who absolutely loves IGAB and Zimzalabim, I knew after the first listen that it would really grow on me and IT ABSOLUTELY DID
I now love it and it's been on repeat for me
Same 😂
same. zimzalabim is one of my favourite songs and the chaotic energy next level had reminded me of it.
Same 😭
The first listen/watch of the mv I was like "ok, I love the mv, and the song overall, but I need more listens." Three hours later, it has grown on me A LOT. I cannot stop singing the "I'm on the next level, yeah!" lmao. I like Black Mamba more but this one good too.
First listen, I knew I liked it but I was so overwhelmed cause it felt like I kept getting hit in the face. after my second listen, I was really hooked on the next level part. 😂I’m glad sm is willing to take risks though with their music. All their groups have something weird but surprisingly catchy, imo.
same! it’s like i knew i was gonna like it, but it was gonna have to grow on me first lmaooo . and now after like 5 listens.. i cant stop singing “i’m on the next, level. yeah!” 😭
Same! Specially the getting slapped part lmao
It actually took me one listen to know i absolutely LOVE this song , i mean cmon ive been listening to Girls Generation for 11 years now there is nothing that SM can throw at me that will surprise me anymore :D
same
They really meant when they said "NEXT LEVEL" omggggGGgGG
Literally can't take my eyes off Seulgi in the back 😂
She's like "heeeeeyyyy" 🤣
LOL i thought seulgi was actually in the MV background so i was looking in the mv for a little bit since SM is doing that MCU style teaser thing . Fail lol
@@edo27 LOL That would be super awesome though 😂
Seulgi watching her hoobaes too lol
Before I saw the mv I already heard people comparing it to IGAB, Zimzalabim, and Tempo (songs that I adore) so my brain made that shift in expectations and upon the first listen absolutely loved it. I like songs that are decisive like this because you will either hate it or love it but I prefer that than them releasing a song that is okay and forgettable
Never clicked so fast in my life, was waiting for thisss 💕
Yesssss that part sounds like TVXQ and I think I got some Max vibe from Ningning！
Noo way Max Changmin was my first eveeeer bias and Ningning is æspa bias✨✨✨
I'm so glad you heard the TVXQ sound in that, too! The moment that part started I was going "was this in SM's unused song library made for TVXQ and they just gave it to Aespa or something?"
Was waiting for you two.
I didnt even know ppl saw Tempo as a 3 in 1 song...i just flee with the rhythm i wish SM made this song flow better instead of having Karina say beat drop
This is only reaction that I waiting for cuz I can relate with your reaction guys I know you're my fellow SMstan ❤️
Omg im gladdddd that finally someone pointed out the classic TVXQ SM jazzy/RnB sounds in Beat Drop!!!!!
your reactions were so funny lmaoo
both y'all look so good
I think this was the most drastic transition in a 3-1 sm song, that beatdrop had no transition at all lol. I did like it for some reason though :']
nævis, calling ~
I feel like the part of lalalala doesn't really feel like a switch in the song, like it's still cohesive. However, for the beat drop, I feel like it's less awkward if you think of it as an extra long bridge when you listen to it.
Ugh I know I always say this but I always feel warm when I see the both of you together! Happy Pride Month my sisters!
Amanda is literally me listening to the song for the first time.
But me at the same time can't help but sing the song all along 😂❤
NGL i love this song and listen to it everyday but that shift in the song had me DYIN on first listen
I love the honest yet respectful reactions. Appreciate it. Thank you for reacting to aespa. When you said wtf did you just watch that was the same reaction I had. I was shocked but surprisingly I liked the song at first listen compared to Black Mamba. Maybe I'm used to SM's style of combining different genres in one song. I have to agree also with Giselle getting a rap line of her own so she could standout more. I really like the KariSelle rap part but I wish they also gave Giselle a solo rap. Will wait for that in the future songs.
Love this song! Brave Aespa ! They are soooooo good.
THANK YOU BOTH A FOR BEING HONEST , Im getting tired of fake reactions ahaha
I didn't think the song transition THAT jarring. Maybe I'm showing my age here but There was a trend in early 2000s in hiphop and R&B music videos where artists would actually put a different song on their album into another MV as a transition and it was a nice flow change. For example, look up missy elliot's MVs from her 'so addictive' album like 'get ur freak on' or 'one minute man' and they do the 'song switchup' i'm describing, and in those songs it was even more jarring than what I think Aespa did here. I dunno I didn't mind it. The whole time the song was slightly changing it up from getting too boring and repetitive...maybe it sounds too much like they took two B sides and mashed them into one Mv....but i dont mind lol i like both songs
So I grew up in the early 2000s and love Get Ur Freak On and I personally think the song shift there is more cohesive in my opinion (maybe I'm just used to missy's song since I grew up with it lol)
I just think the song shifting to the more jazzy, vocal heavy part in Next Level could've been done cleaner
But other than that the song isn't bad tbh
- Nat
@@kjunkies fair enough! Listen....I LOVE that you also grew up with Missy!! Aespa should collaborate with her next. Her visuals in her MVs were way ahead of its time. Much love from Toronto
I love songs like this, is my style of music because it’s not your regular type of music. Idk it keeps me excited/happy. Usually most songs that go the usual way structure wise it’s a snooze 😴 fest for me.
this is trademark sm music brand is yaaasss! stan!!
Love the remake OST but they did their thing, this song is everything I love about kpop
Don’t worry I had the same reaction the first time I listened and watch the mv lol
Even the lalalalalala part was part of the original song, and I could have sworn it wasn't, lol
QUEEN AESPA COME BACK
4TH GENERATION QUEENS ✨
I hate this song yesterday but NOW its growing on me SO HARD
I think I might be so used to SM style with the 3 songs in 1 at times that I have no probs with it and I mess with this Next Level song....hard!
Let me hear you say, this shit is bananas
B-A-N-A-N-A-S
This shit is bananas
B-A-N-A-N-A-S
Dude, the choreo video is even better than the MV. The camera crew deserve their own fandom. :D
1st thing comes to my mind is Cruella because i just literally finish watchin it
All of the reactors weren't ready when the song shifts
The classic sm; nonsense lyrics with 3 songs slapped together under the title "experimental" to excuse the incoherence of it all lmaooo
Kind of waiting for Aespa to show me some dancing thats actually impressive
Honestly, the switch up was weird for me at first but after few listens it's kinda cool
I feel like people who quickly compare this to ZZZ & IGAB don't understand that while those songs were different styles meshed together, the sections played off each other and transitioned into each other well. Next Level was 3 different styles that were just chopped and glued together with no obvious plan to the final sound [example: how the TVXQ/BoA section just falls away and goes back into the first part with no energy or elevation, and then drags on for a little too long].
I really wanted to like this song (I liked Black Mamba and LOVED Forever). I was expecting this to be aespa's Ice Cream Cake/Dumb Dumb break-out era that would cement them and their sound...and I guess it did. Just in the wrong way.
I like the song so much in sections, but overall, I still like it, I would still listen to it everyday but I think it could be better
AESPA is rlly NEXT LEVEL
It...it's definitely different.
it’s funny that you mention the switch sounding like better, because fans have theorized that it might’ve originally been a part of better, since they share the same writer and both of them have the same BPM
Reaction video ❌
Reaction Funny ☑️
am I the only one who instantly loved this song?
i did too
I feel like it would’ve made more sense if this was two tracks mixed into one like Super M “One (Monster & Infinity)” but it’s all just one song haha That switch is way too hard but I still really enjoy the song overall!
Also, I’m surprised there was no EXO tease at the end.
Finally someone who had the TVXQ reference like me
i got a boy, nu abo, red light, dalla dalla, zimzalabim's daughter, i love it!!!
Korean loves the SMP(SMentertainment Performance)and lyrics' Korean mean, but foreigners seem to be unfamiliar about this concept. haha😆
yall need to check out black mamba ep.1 (sm culture universe) on aespa's channel. im still trying to understand thr theory tho but i got a feeling that both karina and the ae-karina is not the villain but they just got hacked and possessed by black mamba... im not sure actually but the video is sick SM spent a lot on them😭
We did watch it, we mentioned it in the beginning of this video.
It brings IGAB and Zimzalabim feelssssss Aespa is slaying tho
3 song in 1
*EVERGLOW has released their new single album “Last Melody” earlier today*
*The single album has three tracks, including the title track “First", and I look forward to your reaction!*
Winter😍
Stan aespa bestie
My bies Winter
3:19 okay😂
Hope you guys react to oneus comeback and wjsn the back subunit debut
SM targeted International listeners and viewers in Black Mamba and in Next Level is Knetz. It is their tradition from SNSD, F(x) whole discog., RV to aespa
Don't forget to react black mamba eps.1 girls, that was amazing!!
Have you guys watche black mamba ep. 1? You guys should watch it so you can have a better understanding of the concept.
We watched it before this got released and we've understood the concept since their debut tbh
Nathalie! You look like Hayley Williams!!! 😄
You should watch tge black mamba ep. 1
aqui va un comentario español , por que me puedo exprear mas en mi lengua natal que en ingles , dicen que es como tempo y otras canciones que tiene como varias canciones en una , pero tempo por lo menos quedaba , encajaba con lo demas de la cancion , que por cierto tempo es una woow gran cancion , pero esta cancion para mi no quedan las 3 cancion en si , lo que salva la cancion es lo que dicen al principio por que es pegajoso lo de netx level , pero si no fuera por eso creo que no seria una buena cancion , esta bien pero mm no se muy extraña no es como que la pusiera en mi playlist
WHAT THE DUCK DID I JUST WATCH INDEED
This song kicks SO MUCH ASS! Karina is a goddess.
I love the song, I'm a sucker for I got a boy, Wolf, Tempo, I love 3~4 songs in one, specially when it's SM, I think I didn't work for Zimzalabim, for exemplo, but for that song it works, Black Manda is a really got song to dance, but Next Level is definitely going to be on repeat u.u
This is SM thing buddy
As with Itzy's MITM, after the 5th listen you get addicted.
ITZY MITM grew on me after watching the CHOOM performance the five times.i listened to this song 10 times.
@@callsins3413 Thats all of their other songs, they grew on you many listens, Icy,Wannabe, Not shy
I like their past releases but MITM is the one I am not feeling and i think it’s the rap part which was awkwardly place there. The girls rapping wasn’t good imo( it was her tone, it felt she was running out air while talk rapping) and made their voice turn deeper just for that rap part which didn’t come across as good but rather flat.
Please check out hott issue gratata
lolllllll
Tribe please
I dont really like too much the switch in the middle of the song when they focus Karina's eyes and please dont think that I hate when artists suddenly switch the beat of their songs because I really love that, for example Tempo is one of my fav song but the switch of beat in Tempo isn't so abrupt so you know that you are listening the same song
Maybe I need to listen to the song more times
Pls react to Fromis9 We Go. It just came o. today too🥺
Can you react to WJSN THE BLACK - Easy !!!
Like Exo tempo, rv zimzalabim, snsd igb. Right?
Seulgi
Finally, an honest reaction... I absolutely hate this song, and I've been a kpop fan since 2008 so I get the comparisons to I Got a Boy, but I still hate it lol. I actually like the Fast and Furious version that isn't all over the place, but the way these girls sing the admittedly somewhat catchy part of "I'm on the Next Level" feels really slow and boring to me. It starts to feel like they're just repeating it over and over, then it gets less and less catchy as the song goes on. The song overall is like someone's very first attempt at making a mashup and failing miserably at it. I'm not usually this critical of most music and definitely not kpop... but I don't think I've ever outright hated a song this much. It makes me angry for the girls, although it seems like people are at least talking themselves into liking it. If you look on Reddit, though, I think you'll see more honest responses.
True
Idk i get to used but is no shock me the firts listen like igab and zimzalabim
Sounds like an NCT song 😅
Tbh I feel like SM is trying so hard but so hard to do something that nobody's doing or something that shocks people and it's backfiring like Amanda said the mv is great but I don't even know what's going on, it's just a bunch of ramdom scenes.
This wont feel new and weird if you’re an sm stan coz you know how experimental sm is
Except we are SM stans and we do know how SM is lol we've been SM stans for 10 years
Just cause SM is this way, doesn't completely excuse the song lol
You can be an SM stan and still have mixed feelings about a song. Music being subjective doesn't change just because you stan the company.
It is a rerelease of Fast and Furious soundtrack. It was disappointing. We want an original track for Aespa
Based on their cover I listened to the original song and it's literally EXACTLY the same except for being in a different key and the vocal part in the middle they added.
The girls deserve much better than this
@bxbysxn they have 3 songs to their name in 6 months and 2 of those are remakes
I know this is out of topic but the short hair girl have same shirt as jennie...sorry my english
Yeah it's a pretty popular shirt with several kpop girl groups 😂
Where is wjsn easy????
Show me the way to kosmo
SM? Best discography!
I think u should check out lyrics to understand mv bcs there is so much going on there.
But i can't blame u bcs "shifts" made u only focus on song.
😁😁😁😁😁
We had the lyrics on with the captions so we know it's related to their concept
But the lyrics have nothing to do with how the song is structured so
yeah I didn’t really like the song too 😅 i like the girls tho so I’m hoping for a less divisive song in the future
The woman with two colored hair looks drunk
I wish I was.
뭐라는지 하나도 모르겠지만.........느낌이 꼭 "으캬캬캬컄. 저게 모얔 ㅋㅋ컄ㅋ" 같은디?
좋아서 웃는건 아닌거 같고........
Will you react to ONEUS?:(
Very weird music to digest this music video
SM you made a weirdest shit I’ve ever seen
