SM reached out to you all? Omg that's amazing!
Woah SM reached out to you guysss ?! I was wondering why this is out when it’s not in the schedule 🌝 now the dots are connected.
WHAT ? i though you are the one who have the idea , but ... SM REACHED YOU OUT ??? danggggg SM looking to your videos then !!!!!

is it just me or does anyone else want more reactions to the old groups? I'm talking about all the OGs: hot, god, shinhwa...
YESSSS ME TOO
yESSSS PLEASE
One of the things that I think really hurt the first gen groups and artists is that the videos are really terrible quality - look like they were shot through a potato. I remember checking out Shinhwa mvs several years ago and loved the songs but: 1. Some of the wardrobe choices were really terrible; 2. The mvs not looking like they were even 360 p. (The worse quality mv by far, though is Kim Gun Mo's Wrongful Encounter).
Completely agree! If CMR were to react though, I feel like it would have to be tailored like "how would this song be produced now--a-days" or have back to back MVs comparing the old song versus a new song that feels inspired by the old song (remakes perhaps like one of the
IU episodes). Otherwise, the reactors wouldn't have enough to say (positively).
@@xiuying1212 This is such a great idea. Id be so entertained
You can hate SM at times but you can't deny how serious they are with their music since the beginning.
Yeah
The only Kpop company DO Care the music more than anything. More than 20 years, it's not easy.
Other companies can do it in 5-10 years and they lost themselves with money.
I love how this just means that SM Entertainment MEANT to do this kind of music, and mastered it through years to create what we think now as bangers. Not the thinking that “Hey experimental music is a trendy now, let’s use this”, they didn’t master it in one day but almost 2 decades. It’s funny how we today call experimental music as trendy, wherein fact it has been there all along, just resurfacing here and there, I guess that’s why it’s never boring to hear.

@@KT-rq9id NATURAL BORN KILLER, ILLUSION AND WEDDING CHRISTMAS
이 노래가 나왔을 당시 한국에 큰 참사가 있었습니다. 5, 6세 어린 아이들이 캠프를 갔다가 화재로 세상을 떠나고 다쳤습니다.
화재의 원인은 안전문제를 전혀 신경쓰지 않았던 그 캠프시설과 관련된 공무원, 시설관리자들, 밤새 술을 마신 선생님들 때문이었습니다.
이 사고에 희생된 아이들을 기리기 위해 유영진 작곡가가 만든 노래로 알고 있습니다. 그래서 제목도 I yah 아이야(아이=child) 인 것이구요.
진짜..이때 저 10,11살이였을때 난 사고였는데 며칠동안 티비,신문에 계속 나왔었죠..학교에서도 전교생이 추모하고했던 기억이나네요...어린나이에도 그 화재현장장면이 또렷할정도로 충격적이였는데 이노래를 들으니 다시 생각나네요ㅜㅜ
씨랜드사장은지금카페한다고티비도나오고..쩝
지금은 카페 주차장으로 쓰고 있다고 하더군요...
Eng translation) When this song came out, there was a big tragic event in Korea. Young children aged 5-6 years who went on a school camp died due to a fire. The main cause of this incident was the camp facility that didn't pay attention to safety, all workers related to that facility, and teachers who drank all night. In order to commemorate the poor children who passed, SM song writer, Yoo Young-jin wrote this song. The song's title, "I yah" is a homonym of a korean word for child.
This is like the father of I Got A Boy - SNSD. Loll. This songs take you on a journey~
Actually it reminds me of Triangle (the TVXQ-BoA-TRAXX collab)
@@jamesrawlins735 Yeah this. Nothing like I Got a Boy in any regard besides the standard SM change-up.
Lmao
Every single time a verse ends, I think it can't get any more insane than this... and I just get caught SO off guard whenever they switch it up!! It's the first time I've listened to H.O.T and BOY THAT WAS INTENSEE
What's funny is that this is very atypical H.O.T. - their music is very sweet and cute - much more Backstreet Boys
@@jamesrawlins735 no, H.O.T. has no typical style. They're both sweet and angry abt the society at the same time. All of their albums have 2 title songs, one is sweet and one is angry, crazy. As a fan, I love this face of them more than sweet things as Candy.
@@polaris912007 Candy was never my favorite song - TBH I kind of didn't pay attention to them for awhile because of it - but I did fall in love with Hope
@@jamesrawlins735 NOOOOOO it’s not like that there is a lot of sound like I yah very angry lyrics and sounds
@@jamesrawlins735 No, H.O.T have many diversity of style. They have some cute songs, some hip hop pop song and some of gangsta songs. They often mixed different kind of music, classical x rock x pop x hip hop. For this kind of song like I Yah, you can listen for their other songs like " Outside of Castle that talk about disable people whom iginored by society, Line Up that talk about people style whom being control by capitalism or something like that, Get It Up that talk about childern of war or Wolf and Sheep that talk about how people being divided by other power without they notice it (I think its about unification), Natural Born Killer, etc.... There's many of up beat like this by H.O.T that I cant write down. And I suggest you to listen for ALL ALONE that written and composed by Tony. Its another mixed of classical x modern music, the lyrics are sad though.. its about how the treatment of poor students without money they got at school. What I love about H.O.T is not just their diversity in music, but also the message that they put in to their songs. They have many of great songs with great messsages that we hard to find now days.
1. sm reaching out who knew this day would come
2. clear that sm has been experimenting since day 1 they've just refined how they do it over the years
or just using different using different tools to achieve the same effect
sm's really done it honestly
They really done it 👍
sm go hard
H.O.T's "I-Yah" is what got me into Kpop back in 1999 and it was one of their best albums imo. Their style was definitely a cultural reset. Absolutely an iconic time in Kpop. Thanks for listening! :)
SM be put classical piece since their 1st gen of Kpop, waiting for Red Velvet's using bach's air on g string... Cant wait for the reaction 😭
Yup...me too...
Shinhwa is guilty for this too
Mozart, Bach sunbaenims 🥺✊🤣
Holy Shit!! I didn't think we'd go this OG on this channel 😅😂. But I'm happy bcoz several new fans have no idea on the discography of these older groups even if they've heard of them
이 노래는 아이들은 사랑으로 지켜주고 보호해줘야 된다고 어른들과 세상에게 경고하는 노래이다. 처음 들으면 음악이 낯설어서 놀라고, 두번째엔 가사가 슬퍼서 놀란다.
알고들으면 굉장히 마음 아픈 노래..ㅜ 그당시 중학생이었는데 애엄마가 되고 다시들으니 가슴이아파요ㅜㅜ
Actually this song is veeeeeeeery dark song of them reflected society issues and they have a lot of “Happy Songs” such as CANDY, HAPPINESS (legendary song of K-pop) please react to them, too :D
SM yeah SM is just SM I'm really proud at the projects that they take on, like they really are indeed the pioneer and the trendsetter
H.O.T.의 아이야의 노래와 뉴스로 화재사건을 접했을때 슬펐던것과 충격었음
이래서 내가 H.O.T.를 좋아했나보다
나의 최애 아이돌임
Yes! As someone who was into 1st gen kpop while it was happening, H.O.T. - Outside Castle for life.
OUTSIDE CASTLE IS FUCKING UNDERRATED
아니 내가 2022년에 아이야 리액션을 보게 될 줄은;;;;
저 음대생이 많은 HOT 노래 중에서도 아이야를 고른것은 아이돌 시스템의 시초로써 HOT 인것도 있지만 아마도 모차르트와 베토벤이 생각 못한 타이밍에 나오고 클래식 음악과 하드록이 섞여서 특이한 분위기를 연출하는 것에 대해 어떻게 생각하는지 그리고 어떻게 그게 가능한지에 대해 얘기하는게 이들 음대생의 포인트인거 같아요. 클래식을 전공하는 사람들에게 아주 흥미로운 주제가 아닌가 싶네요
2222222ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
ㄹㅇ
너무 고맙습니다. H.O.T는 1세대 SM의 아이돌이자, 제 세대의 우상입니다. 리액션영상으로 올라올줄 몰랐네요 감사합니다.
어릴땐 몰랐는데 애기놓고 키우다보니 마지막 장우혁 아이야 파트에서 눈물이 나네
가슴이 절절한 부모님의 절규같아..
저당시 좋아했던 노래인데 지금 들어보니까 파격적인 구성이었네요
명곡이었음 ㄷ
I'm not from the H.O.T. generation, so I don't know all their songs, but this song is impressive and remains in my memory. I would also like to see Seo Taiji's 'Hayeoga'(1993) React.
I listened to this back in 2017 when I first got into K-pop but immediately forgot the song name and group. I searched for it after because it was so cool and as someone who transitioned from rock into K-pop it was so interesting. Didn’t find it until now 😅
Thank you so much for this reaction! As someone who lives in a third world country with many injustices, I like to listen to H.O.T some times (along with other 1st gen artists too) because they have some of my favorite lyrics and the most comforting ones too, since they talked about topics as they are without having to disguise them. And topics that are still valid to this day. The whole set of decisions they made in the song represents rage perfectly and during Kangta's solo you can feel even helplessness. I don't see that kind of strong approach today in kpop. Sometimes the topics are discussed but in a softer way. Compared to these groups that apparently didn't mind being censored on music shows (that tone of censorship literally sounded on top of words considered too harsh or rude lol). That lack of fear of being censored I don't know where it went today but I admire it. It seems that the Lee So Man who worked with these guys back then was different from the Lee So Man now tho.... Anyway, I'm glad you checked this out 💜💜
I agree! I find it kind of ironic that the original anti-establishment, against-status-quo messages, but SM became the establishment itself...
Since this came after Seo Taiji... and seeing how SM's products are like these days... makes me wonder, even H.O.T. type music and lyrics they originally put out, how much of it was really admiring and respecting the OG message, or it was just all business, that THAT was what was trending at the time, so just banked on it. Well, hopefully it was the former, but doesn't change the fact the company and owner kind of moved away from the original message and sincerity it had once put out.
@@mollyfurball yeah sometimes I have that doubt too and I feel like it could have been just business as well. My theory is that in the case of H.O.T it was a mixture of both. Because reading some interviews and the way in which they explained the meaning of their lyrics or decisions that the group itself made, it seemed that the members of the group, or at least those who were most involved in composing and writing, were quite sincere in terms of the lyrics and the meaning of the songs. Since it was something that both young people like them wanted to say, and young people like them wanted to hear. And perhaps precisely for that reason SM let them do it since it was something that teens eager to feel freer and not silenced, would listen and buy, plus the idol formula was attractive.
Therefore censorship instead of being a threat was something that helped them, it was something that represented that struggle of "wanting to be who you are and not being able to because conservative society wouldn't let you". Plus they already knew it wouldn't affect their popularity because Seo Taiji & Boys wasn't affected either. So at the end of the day it was economically convenient for them, which is probably not the case today for so many reasons...
이 노래를 소개 해주기 전에 씨랜드 화재사고 때문에 만들어진 곡이라는 알리고 들어야 이 노래는 해석 가능합니다
Raffi: SM Entertainment though... they're a staple..
Me: *nods * straight facts
I-yah continues the line of NuMetal-inspired SMP (SM Music Performance) songs that Yoo Young-Jin pioneered, starting with H.O.T's Age of Violence, Wolf and Sheep, Line Up, and I-yah. It continued down to such songs as Shinhwa's Yo, BoA's ID:Peace B, TBSK's Tri-Angle, and Super Junior's Sorry Sorry. Ever-evolving through the times, you can hear more European-influenced SMP in TBSK's Mirotic, SNSD's I Got A Boy, EXO's MAMA, and even Red Velvet's Psycho. Interestingly, All of AESPA's hits could be categorised as SMP!
And heavily Japanese Visual Kei inspired too I would say. : ) Mainly the 90s and early 00s' SMP, such as H.O.T's I Yah and Git it Up, Shinhwa's Yo and DBSK's Tri-Angle.
@@cyan225 absolutely
아이야도 react하다니!! 진짜 신선하다!!
I just realized "I Yah", probably in Korean sounds like "Hey Child!"....not necessarily sounds like it, even I believe there is no Korean call a child that way so I guess there's that
You are right. "I" is like in (I)dle - it means a child, a kid. They make it into a shout, a call-out, so they put "Yah" and "!" next to make it impactful.
Yes, "I Yah 아이야" means child in Korean, and the lyric" P down" is blood in Korean.
@@heidiwang5285 👁️👄👁️ woah....mind blown 🤯
Không thể tưởng tượng được 2022 lại có channel reaction nhóm nhạc H.O.T. Đây là nhóm nhạc huyền thoại của Kpop, nơi của mọi sự khởi đầu của DBSK, SJ, EXO, NCT... làn sóng Hallyu đầu tiên! Cảm ơn các bạn đã làm tôi nhớ lại 1 thời điên dại như vậy. Thank you so much!
I'm so glad you guys did this. As the first-gen K-pop fan, starting my "career" with THIS album of H.O.T, I just want to say that K-pop has lost too much of the sharpness of the first gen, but Yoo Youngjin is still trying very hard to keep it alive through SM productions.
Actually HOT confirmed this song is indeed about the kindergarten fire tragedy in the lyrics:
"Who gave the permission to turn out the children's flame that couldn't even be burnt"
"I'm gonn' catch you ain't no turnin' back you won't be burnin' my kids"
"They have been neglected, disregarded not been protected they couldn't even be protected of the rights they have been born with"
"Do you say it. One for the kid, two for the all.What have we protected with the constitution we made? Nothing nothing"
I been a fan of HOT since a long time because of this, they are high five of teenagers their music was a way to show what teenagers feel and what they think. They were a rebellion against the world of adults and honestly they helped me a lot during hard times, it's amazing to see even today people are appreciating HOT's work
SM told me to change my script to saying it wasn’t official, though 🙈
@@ReacttotheK oh i see, sorry 😅 I guess it's still a potentially controversial thing to say
@@4everlastingstarlight Yeah. Because its straight critics to the government, and people also use this song to conncect it to the ship accident that killed many students back some years ago. And same thing happened, the ones that responsible for this accident just walk away.
@@rianaZeinF Did they?
@@lll.24601 I read some of Korean's comments on this song video (unoffcial one because its from some years ago), they connect this song to the ship accident since both cases have same victims, students (children).
OMG!!!!! My first & forever idol!!!! Really nice to see them again thru. this re-mastered 4K MV❤🧡💛💚💙 ※they are the first group in KR who has the color of the fan club!!!
When that song was made, there was a big accident in Korea. Many young children had died in a building on fire. Buildings built without complying with building regulations, and institutions that approved them. Lack of construction materials and safety requirements that have not been flame-retardant. Eventually, the children died in an instant because of the selfishness of the adults. This song is for the children who died then.
I don't know why in particular but I really enjoy the Rachel/Liam pairing for these reactions. I think they approach the songs with a slightly different perspective as percussionists and their enthusiasm for the music translates well in these videos.
Holy wow I really enjoyed this bc it sounds alot like TVXQ's Tri-Angle. And that was like my jam back then. And totally unique like this song. Imma go check out the actual video. Thanks so much for all your hard work everyone!
22년 전 곡의 리액션을 보게 될 줄이야~~~~ 지금 들어도 좋네요
대박이다 ㅋㅋㅋ 외국인이 에쵸티 리뷰하는 모습을 보게 되다니
솔직히 외국인중에 에쵸티 팬이 많아요 ㅎㅎ 저도 포함이구요
As a classical musician and a White Angel (H.O.T's fandom), thank you SO MUCH for this video!
I would love to see their reaction to TVXQ's "Tri-Angle" ft. The Trax and BoA. It's another early K-Pop throwback with classical influences mixed with hard rock.
They’ve already reacted to Tri-Angle a while back.

H.O.T 아이야 노래가
99년년도에 대한민국에서 발생한
씨랜드 참사 사건에 대해 잊지 말자고 해서
만들어진 곡 이지않나....
참옥했엇져....
참혹 입니다
Thanks for reaction to H.O.T. I am big fan of H.O.T. And I am so happy you guys help to introduce their music to the newest fans. H.O.T have wide diversity of style in their music. They didnt just stick it to one type of music. All of them have wrote and composed their own songs for H.O.T. And I love the music they made.
As the classical musicians, you guys really understand and explained well about this song. Love that.
Anyway, I hope you guys can react more to the OG groups and H.O.T. For thus type of music where they mixed the classical music instruments with modern musics instruments, maybe you can try to listen for H.O.T songs like Outside of Castle, All Alone, Hope, Its Been Raining Since You Left Me
Thank you very much
진짜 대가 끊겼다고 봐도 과언이 아니듯. h.o.t는 아이돌이지만 정신적으로는 당시 락이 지향하던 저항정신이 담긴 노래도 상당했던것 같음. 그뒤로 또 나올게 있나 했는데 아웃사이드캐슬에서 진짜 종합선물세트 날리고는 사라짐. 메시지가 너무 강렬해서 당시 어린나이로는 이해가 안되던게 20대 후반이되고 나서부턴 30 중반인데도 계속 듣게되던 곡, 그뒤로 이런 아이돌이 단 한번도 나오지 않은듯, h.o.t가 3년만 더 결합된 상태로 갔으면서 뒤를 잇는 그룹이 나왔다면 지금 아이돌이 정말 아이돌로서가 아닌 정말 뮤지션들이 뭉쳐서 만들어졌다는 의미로 정의되지 않았을까 함. 아 생각하다 보니 비슷했던 그룹이 클릭비랑 신화가 있었네요.
음악전공자자들이 전문적이고 예민한 귀로 들을때 어떨지 몰라도 아이야는 H.O.T. 노래들 중 내가 좋아하는 순위에 꼽힘.
As H.O.T. fans I feel so happy that you react to this song. This is my favourite song of them
I love this project that has the SM, but more than they react to the first generation.
Among the HOT songs, if outside castle, the song from the last album, is remastered, you should definitely listen to it.
HOT was truly a legend
When I first watched it a long time ago, I thought, the power of visual kei was strong in this one
One of my favourite title track from H.O.T., even I really liked all of them. Tracks on that same album like "Get it Up" and "It's been raining since you left me" are such a masterpiece.
This song got me into Kpop when I was in middle school. Love H.O.T.
First of all, thanks to your reaction I finally found out that SM remastered H.O.T's I Yah music video because I Yah is my most favorite song from them and I really really want you guys to react to the 1st generation idols like S.E.S, Shinhwa, Sechskies, Fin K.L, and many more. And in my honest opinion this is probably the best H.O.T song and one of the best Yoo Youngjin's composed song. I have no idea that he used some classical song as a sample for I Yah and I think it's really genius of him. Anyways thank you for your reaction. I had so much fun and learn a lot about music from all of you.
우와 추억돋네요 저도 고딩때 HOT팬이라서 수학여행이나 축제때 춤췄던 추억이 떠오르네요ㅎㅎ 노래들으니까 춤이 막 생각나요ㅎ
YES! As soon as I listened to this song, I was hoping CMR would react to it. 1st Gen K-pop really feels like a more "creatively wild" era for musical exploration and this song perfectly demonstrates that. Thank you so much for your musical insights. Y'all are so cool!
Thank you for reacting to HOT, and especiallu to this song that blew my mind when I first heard it so many years ago. It is so nice of you to react to old kpop.
Back in 90’s, korean society, in general, was very different than it is now. Society taught kids self-discipline through physical punishment. With today’s standard, every single school teacher would be in jail. Korean teenagers, especially boys, were very very suppressed. It was only 1993 when korea was finally liberated from authoritarian regime. Until then, the whole society ran like a military. These songs were deemed “inappropriate,” you get in trouble just by listening to these songs in CD. For example, there was a similar song in HOT’s earlier album that was even banned meaning they can’t play the song in any type of media (TV, radio, etc). However, these songs made HOT popular among teenage boys. Usually boy idol groups are popular among teenage girls because they sing dandy love songs. HOT also did that. But they also had rage-against-machine-like songs like this, which appealed to teenage boys making them popular to all teenagers.
Imagine going to a school worrying about getting beaten up by your teachers with ice-hockey stick for listening to songs like this. That was only 20 years ago. One of my middle school teacher even said that he studies WW2 so he can learn their torture system so he can apply those to us. I clearly remember teachers swearing and yelling that the nation’s education system is getting fuxked up and was at the verge of collapsing when the government banned any kind of physical punishment in school. He was like “how can we control you fuxks without physical punishments?? It’s end of education system in korea.” even then, it didnt go away quickly. In 2010, an elementary student with hemophilia was beaten badly by a teacher who was notorious for harsh punishments.
I am not talking about one psycho. This was a norm back then. It has gotten much better now, but that was a society that we (now in 30’s and 40’s) and older generation lived through.
Groups like seo tae ji and HOT were basically saying “you adults are telling us to be a good student, good member of society... but you do that by locking us into a cage and beating us if we dont behave. And yet, you dont even take care of us. Look at these kids burnt to death.”
Music is a reflection of society (and fandom is a reaction of society) at that particular era.
I just wanted to add a little bit of layers to what teenagers had to endure at that time to explain why these idols group have songs like this in their album.
Also, if you see korean immigrants who are in their 40’s or 50’s, ask them why they moved to the states. I bet most of them would say that they didnt want their children to go through the same educational system they had to go through.
About to watch this, and all I’m praying for is that you guys looked better into early SM music. This is one of my favourite H.O.T songs. And I feel like people who weren’t familiar tend to make fun of it, and just diminishes how really good it was esp for that time period.
It’s called SMP, there are a lot of iconic SMP songs PLEASE look into it.
Everyone's shocked faces LMFAO I enjoyed this reaction. Thank you for the throw back. I remember being really hyped when I first got to know H.O.T. back then when k-pop wasn't as huge as now and it was quite a niche music genre. It was quite an experimental time in that era.
I’m a Korean born in Texas that grew up on h.o.t… and when he said “this is very rage against the machine.” I have never heard a more true statement in my life.
Thank you for reacting this masterpiece. And please react another masterpieces from them next time
As Umu explained, SM doing a remastering projects and reaching out to YT channels, so as SM rolls out more remastered oldies, I'm sure more collab deal will come and the reactors will for sure view it. So I think for sure you will get to see more! Good for fans that like the OG materials, and a way for SM (and YG does collab deals too) to make more bank by utilizing vault contents (ah! Disney vault!).
I love that they're reacting to this, i yah has been the first kpop song i listened to when a friend of mine showed it to me in 2005, I was 9, and i fell in love. I think without this song i would have never started to listen to Korean music. And whenever I mention it people either don't know it or are shocked that this got me into kpop haha. But I am loving it and I love this reaction a lot.
You guys are amazing! Always loving those videos
OMG OMG OMG I having waiting for the day that you guys react to H.O.T! This was the first Korean boyband I ever got into (obsessed with). Outside Castle is a really great track as well! :) Also, their track "Hope" samples Ode to Joy - this one was also redone by a bunch of different SM groups.
Omg, a H.O.T reaction. I'm living for this.
this approach "for somebody it's their thing [but not for me]", I like that a lot, because it acknowledge that tastes differ without evaluating or judging them
I wish everyone had this perspective and this way to express their opinions, it's very pleasant
Thank you for reacting to this! I used to be an H.O.T fan in my teens, I can attest that they were the coolest idol group in the world at that time. Their "We are the future" song is about school bullying problem, but sadly the awareness does not really change the society at all.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REACTING THIS
So glad you did this. I think I mentioned it in a comment a long time ago. As someone who's been listening to this song for more than 20 years it's awesome. It got me even more into Kpop because it was so unique. Now you gotta do I-dle's latest, Tomboy :D
Smtownstation instagram account posted this video in their stories!!!!
Just twenty-ish minutes after this video came out SO they seem to have their notification bells on for you guys :D
Well, see title info and pinned comment. It's a collab deal, so they knew the reaction was coming. Savvy for entertainment companies (YG did it for Treasure's comeback last month) utilizing the exposure reaction channels have, especially in the US.
80년대생 내 십대 최고의 그룹은 H.O.T.였다고 자신있게 말할수있다.
H.O.T. FOREVER!
OMG!!!!! THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS OUT
YESS THIS IS WHAT GOT ME INTO KOREAN MUSIC. I LOVE THEM T.T
I am here because I saw the publication on an official Instagram page of the SM, I hope the Spanish translation will come out later, and congratulations for this approach, you are an excellent page, one learns a lot with you again, congratulations, this is a great step for your page, hopefully many more people can see them, what good music the first and second generation.
We will start working on Spanish subtitles ASAP! :)
the middle when they scream 'i-yah' repeatedly omg... i-yah in korean means "OWW" so theyre basically screaming in pain..
분노와 절규를 듣는데 눈물이 고이네
This one is similar with “the sound of Halyu”. I remembered they used to perform that song in the music stage with orchestra
This is so awesome! also, i saw that somebody uploaded 4k remasters FIN K.L. joints.
As the H.O.T. generation, I think SM was so addicted to mix classic and rock that time( T.O.P by shinhwa was also those type of music ) so.... yes it was very interesting challenge, was not normal style that time, too. But I think only SM has been done those type of musical challenges. And I love their efforts for mixing classic and pop music (including the recent work with orchestra)
지금 들어도 쩐다! 더 메세지가 있고 세련된 느낌이다
헐 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 새롭다 새로워 대박 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 저 이채널 본지 진짜 오래됐는데 젤 기대되요
I recently went on a first generation binge and this came just in time. This is perfect
Please react to "Hope" by H.O.T. next time~ This song was made by KangTa, the main vocal of the group. Also this song has been most signature song of SMTOWN.
My guess is that they wont react to Hope - It's actually my favorite H.O.T. song, but musically its kind of simple, so it would be kind of a boring reaction from these guys (other than using the Ode to Joy theme from Beethoven's Ninth).
@@jamesrawlins735 In that case I think "Outside Castle" would be a good choice LOL
@@heidiwang5285or It's been raining since you left me.
@@polaris912007 This song is sooo great too but there's no mvㅠㅠㅠ
Got goosebumps.. the heck is the vocal and the music
H.O.T. was my first kpop group when I was a kid (11yo, in 2000), it's so weird seeing the mv in 4k, bc I didn't have access to the mv at the time, I only saw it yeeeears later in a lousy quality, internet was not that great and I live in Brasil.
I had not read the “To React” list in a while, and this was a wonderful surprise
Omg after cube entertainment, now SM Ent reach out you guys??? It's incredible. Keep it up!! Good luck for the future Reacttothek ❤️
Love that you reacted to it! Always great!
H.O.T is unique, their songs are inspiring. Love ❤️ them so much.
90s K-pop was great!! Had such variety. And they were so much more vybes to choose from lol.
Many Koreans still listen this song at every year 04.16 because of sewol accident
H.O.T forever 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
This is one of my favorite song from H.O.T
As a young pre-teen. Finding out they broke up. Broke my heart 😭🤣
I think H.O.T got me into rock music.
세상 참 좋아졌다
2022년도에 방구석에 누워서 에쵸티 아이야 외국인 리액션도 보고
Seeing this LIVE was intense! Surreal.
"Not where my ear tends to draw its fancy" SAVE QUOTE! 😅
Omg. HOT was one of my first Kpop groups. If we're talking old school SM, please do SES, Fly to the Sky, and BoA next.
아이야는 레전드.. 오빠들 퍼포먼스레전드임..
아이야라는 제목은 두가지 의미를 가지죠 아프다고 소리지르는것 '아야'
그리고 아이를 부르는말.. 아이야... 불속에서 아프다고 소리지르는 아이들 아야 아야
THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG
6:30 아 이반응 진짜 개웃기네 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 현웃 빵터짐 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
난 지금도 H.O.T 광팬인데 이곡이 1999년 즉 25년 전에 나온 곡이라는걸 알아야 합니다..
