Please don't sit on WayV again LOL.. glad you loved it, their new album "On my Youth" is amazing too, its completely different to Phantom.
To be fair, for the Patreon ppl they weren't sitting on it for that long. 8 months is better than a year lmaooo
Uupppppl
The boat with the fog and candles set with Kun is from the “Phantom of the Opera”
Yea there were quite a lot of phantom of the opera references that i really liked. Including the chandelier dropping.
Ten is the best idol everrrr, he's truly underrated that'd angered me so muchh
And what's worse is that some people deny how a godly dancer he is and say how he's beneath Jimin, Jhope, Taemin, Kai, Shotaro, etc.. like man, you can deny a lot of things like his looks, his charisma etc., but his artistry and dance is undeniable. I usually don't care about stanning the most popular idol but the recognition he gets from the industry is way below his worth. Like even during SuperM concerts where he is with the most "elite" idols of SM, people come out of the concert in awe of his Dream in a dream and New Heroes performances. I feel like this lack of recognition for Ten is one of those things that really needs to be rectified.
Thisss thisss in my opinion ten is a better dancer too, it's crazy how people can't see it I actually became a ten fan way before stanning nct, because of his proformance in hit the stage and then he released dream in a dream and everything about him was mind blowing
And this is exactly why WayV will remain my fav subunit!!! They have never missed a single time since their debut and are always innovative. Like NCT as a whole is really creative but WayV always takes it to the next level. Like I will remember being mindblown by Moonwalk (which still remains one of my top 3 songs of all time) and thinking that they can't outdo this. But they've never let me down. I thought On My Youth was the first time I'd feel disappointed but I ended up crying. Man nobody does it like them.
I AGREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
NO LIES DETECTED HERE ❤❤
Seriously the configuration of WayV is insanely good. One of the best dancers (if not THE BEST dancer) in kpop, amazing vocalists and rappers, stunning visuals (they look so good in person), best sound (in my opinion), top-tier production......they deserve way more recognition!
They look SOOO good in person ,and they look unique and recognizable because they look so different from each other which I love!
@@somethingggggg 😂 indeed other boygroups members do have that almost homogeneous features when you are new to them..
Being a fan of Ten's artistry (like a BIG fan), I'm glad that you are very honest about your respect for him. In this industry, people really really need to be able to learn to recognized which idols are just good because they were trained well, and which are great because they have more depth and layers and they bring more nuanced performance and interpretation of the characters they play in their songs, dance and video. Like let's talk about real artistry and performance. Ten really is a god-tier idol and people need to recognize and acknowledge it even if he is mostly singing in Mandarin. I mean honestly we all know that just because China, unlike Korea, has so little soft power, that a great deal of people immediately won't bother checking some artists out just cuz a group isn't a "real kpop" group. That, and of course SM has to do a better job.
The 2nd part being main reason many don't wish to listen to wayv and its sad. Plus SM mistreatment over the top for them. Wishing his solo album get more people to check ace ten and SM gives more promotion to wayv.
@@minaawa whether it's intentional or not, SM's management of Ten's career certainly is horrible. I understand there are a lot of members in NCT and the opportunity is hard to distribute but that's the thing people don't understand - that screen time, lines group stuff should be fair and reasonable in group stuff but solo activities of those who can do solo stuff should not be treated the same way. Solo stuff should be given to those who are ready. Period. It's not like a pie you divide equally between children. It's something that's given to the fittest members. And Ten even during his first solo performances in SuperM concerts honestly have the most solo artist energy and stage presence among all the NCT members. He really commanded those stages given to him and people were in awe. So solo stans who are complaining how Ten has more solo lab or station songs should understand how unreasonable it is to complain about it cuz Ten is not taking away an opportunity that belongs to another member. It is an opportunity he created for himself for being very good at his job. And let's be honest although a lot of the members are talented, being solo on stage is another story. All weaknesses you have as a performer will be easily pointed out. And SM actually tested the waters with other members' lab songs and the results were not as impressive compared to members like Ten, Mark and Taeyong. And it's not because they are the most popular (I mean, Haechan, Jeno and Jaemin have been really popular lately) but it's because they're strong, well-rounded, and feels complete even if they are alone onstage. They are less dependent on having a group and that is something you can't automatically get even if you are the most popular member.
@@arien_000 i think haechan does need a chance apart from t7, maybe solo station if he is ready or cover. About ten , sm has been worse. Whenever he did make noise, they try to hide him under the blanket simple reason he is the foreigner out of all popular or aces, and they know he makes impact well. Agree with every word you said. Its 5 years and all i wish wayv gets more exposure or just release eng album for more tune in, till when will they fight their stand balancing cpop from kpop company, its not working as labelv can't mange them well. global populatrity like they gained in japan will help . They anyway perform stages in multiple language. S010 i am really scared how SM will handle it, truely wish they pay for what they have done all these years hiding the ace, give him worth promotion, interviews ,solo work and stage, showcase hopefully tour too. he deserves it being 8th year as idol. His fan are always ready to work with tears for him, and we know he will do great. Its just promotions and effort in marketing for him like his other fellow rookie member got all these years from stage, cincert, opportunities . Superm solo stages litrally brought many into 10vely fandom, thats his power and charisma and hold on audience. He should have debuted as solo artist, anyway wish his popularity rises, he is gem of artist needs a breaks though, hidded in mask of SM
@@minaawa Haechan does have lab/station/cover songs. NYCT, Good Person, Age of Light. Many members had their try doing lab/ station/cover. Even Lucas before with Coffee Break. I think for these things, it needs some initiative (or some degree of it) from the members themselves to try and put out a song out there. Like how Kun made Rain Day happen. And Ten did Paint Me Naked and Birthday the same way - he worked for them. He literally approached many people he even joked about how some of them avoided him. It wasn't just SM giving it to him on a silver platter. I don't think it's as easy as telling SM , "Hey, I want to do solo/lab stuff." Although I do think SM tries to hype some members more just like how they did with Lucas' Coffee Break mv. I don't think it was more of Lucas' initiative cuz some members were actually more ready for a Lab song that time, but it was given to him cuz they are investing in him cuz he has that look that appeals to international stans. Other members could do the same. But I guess people don't have the same level of initiative, commitment, willingness and confidence to take a risk. And doing unit stuff has much less stress cuz it's initiated by the label.
I knew you would love this song/mv. It almost dethroned Moonwalk as my favorite WayV song. My favorite part is on bridge, where they line up next Kun perfectly. It's so damn good.
Dawg are we the same person?
Saying "I see, I see, I see" while Diamonds Only sits on the side kind of made me laugh.
🤣🤣😭
Same 😂😂😂
Samee 🤣🤣🤣
Idk if anyone would understand but WayV always brings out chinese novel taste very well. This one is the grandeur deep emotion kinda thing. Seeing them perform Phantom live in NCT concert in Japan while it was storming is catalystic
i agree TEN he's god tier idol waiting for your reaction his solo TEN - BIRTHDAY
I am complete agreement with your opinion on the magnitude that is Phantom as a visual masterpiece. Though I'd just like to throw this out there.... On My Youth brought tears to my eyes and completely blew me away. You know something is special about WayV when your heart just sinks and you are overwhelmed with emotions.
I feel the same way. On My Youth was really the right title track and only WayV could do that concept as well as it was executed in that track and in that video.
On my youth is amazingggggg loved it so much
WayV’s songs and performances are always impressive. Totally agree that TEN is also a god of tier!!! 💜
Yes, for me WayV is the BEST sound I've ever found in kpop. Listen, Johnny is my bias in the whole NCT, but WayV is the best unit. I've been into Asian music for more than 15 years, but there is no sound like WayV.
this reaction just made me so happy 😭😭 i'll always remember how epic this era was.. the fandom was waiting for a comeback for so long and this mini album really fulfilled our expectations (+ the fact that the song is like 3:50 and feels complete)
WayV never fail me with the bridge, and last chorus adlibs too 😍
13:05 this was Yangyang btw ^^
i was looking for this comment 😭 i was surprised no one pointed it out
Thank you for your reaction. Ten is god tier ace idol! Loved every discription. He is a performer above kpop/cpop, memerizing people just by the presence and you know he will do good be his dance, vocal and rap. He will be releasing solo album soon in 2024. And wayv best nct unit in term of different genre music.
Tenlee🧛🏻 He has star quality
PDnim I really appreciate your words for tenlee! Ten will debut as a Soloist in 1quater of 2024 pls give him a lot of love and support
12:00 as a shawol who fall for WayV a long time ago, I totally get you PD.
Please look forward at 1Q of 2024 cuz your man TEN will be DEBUT AS A SOLOIST Hurayyyyyyyy!! /your praised and feeling about TEN made me so happy 😭🫶🤟💖
i really appreciate your reaction and your praise of our God-Tier Idol , TEN LEE ❤
With your love of old school kpop... I think you're really gonna love On My Youth. That first section is sooooo classic emotional kpop, just in Mandarin. 😄
Actually the song is really Chinese-ish too!
As a 2nd gen/SHINee fan, Phantom got me hooked on WayV! The 2nd gen-ness really came out full force and now I'm totally obsessed with them, they've got those old school vibes to the max edit: you should check out Kun's Phantom remix if you haven't already. He brought even more drama to this song, it's amazing
phantom became my favorite MV and title track at that time and then they came out with OMY and it immediately tied with this one because both were shot so beautifully even tho the styles are different~ WayV continue to grow and improve and im so proud of them. ALSO fun fact, for phantom comeback they gained alot of new 2nd gen fans because many said it also reminded them of older groups such as shinee etc lol
Hi, PD. Good to see you finally back and you are one of my few fave reactors here. Ty for your glowing description of Ten as a 'god-tier idol' 🥺 if you have the time, you may wanna check Ten's latest solo track, 'Birthday' released last year before Phantom. Ten is scheduled to debut as a soloist in 1Q 2024 😊 Ty and good luck with everything 😊
I love TEN thank you so much. 😍😍😍
more Way V pls way v new " on my Youth"
Im glad you are ok now, I suffer from anxiety and it really gets dark sometimes. Love your reaction❣️wayv is on another level, ten is an ace! 💜
I believe Ten may be your bias 🤗. He's mine too 12/12 video & song... & TEN!!!🥰
I don't know if you've ever heard of it but many ppl said wayv has this aura/vibe like 2nd gen groups, and personally I do think that they remind me a lot of 2nd gen groups. I used to stan 2nd gen group that's why I know, haha. Omg the way you fanboy over Ten is just like me when this MV came out 😆
WayV is amazing!!!
Can’t wait til you review On My Youth. I’m obsessed with the song and listen to it daily. 😛
me too love it so much!!
That's early😅 I'm expecting On My Youth and Birthday reaction next year😅 but really great review👍 and I'm looking forward to more Ten and WayV!
PD you should really check out their latest comeback . it is also really good
This mv and song blew my mind too!! Also it's my absolute favorite performance from their concert NCT Nation they just did in Japan!! Like they even did The Bat and Kick It and Broken Melodies BUT.....FOR SOME REASON THIS.....PHANTOM live on THAT huge scale and them singing live and Tens dancing and sexiness and ALL OF THEM omg that performance was EPIC!!! I still listen to this regularly and their whole album! These are the type of reactions I love from you the most! It's totally okay to just have those fangirling fanboying moments to just feel everything without going deep into it. While I do also love your in depth reactions because I learn a lot, but these are also showing us how you feel about them. So thank you for this type of reaction!
MAN THIS SONG WAS SO CRAZY AT KCON!
Yes hope you do More wayv and on my youth album just released
FINALLY SOMEONE'S WITH ME ABOUT VIXX AND THEIR DEEP/UNCONVENTIONAL "DARK" CONCEPTS! WayV fits that role for the new generation SO well and they always seem EXCITED to try new things. I wish SM paid more attention to them, but I guess it really makes them a diamond in the rough!
My ears perked up when they said Vixx :) Concept kings. Maybe we will see reaction to Amnesia.
I hope you don't forget about On My Youth 😭 it's an AMAZING album and honestly is their best ever.
22:03 The cameraman was on a roller skate kind of thing while shooting that, if I remember correctly from the behind the scenes
Camera man used “Hoverboard”while shooting that scene. His skill and strength so amazing!!
@@smpmpm0880 didn't the members grab his muscles?? hahah
@@xsl1114 yeah they did😅
Thank you so much for this reaction! This comeback was very emotional for us wayv fans bc they had been in a hiatus for almost 2 years and no one knew what was gonna happen to them. So when this cb was announced we collectively lost it. The title track, concept, and whole mini album were absolutely perfect. Wayv are very mismanaged & mistreated by sm (cough sinophobia & xenophobia) and also very underappreciated by other nct fans but they are soooo talented and soooo good. I really hope you'll react to their latest cb "on my youth" too! You'll love it!!❤ (+ their track videos)
More WayV please ❤
Finally! This is my subunit. WayV really are their own genre. As far as my musical taste they never fail. I love how deep, dark and whispery Phantom is. And isn't the second part of that Phantom chorus gorgeous? Ahh. Visually it is amazing. I did not even realize how crazy the camerawork is, but the results are definitely exciting to watch. So now On My Youth. It is so good, and definitely deserves more love. TT
more WayV pleaseeee ☺️
im gonna wait here patiently for on my youth reaction
Thank you for your reaction to Phantom. Its one of my favorite WayV title track and the whole album its insane, specifically the songs Bounce Back and Try My Luck. Also, your comments and details you bring up really made me appreciate more the MV ❤ Love the huge respect you have for Ten, he really is the real ace. Love him Hope you can react to their last album, On My Youth 😊
Enjoyed your excitement reaction. Ten "Birthday" and "Dream In A Dream" video are so incredible. These young men are so gorgeous, sexy and talented.
Yes this MV is art and TEN is art. TEN is the one of best dancer in kpop industry. He is in god tier. He born to shine on stage. I'm waiting for his solo.
Thank you PD Nim🙏🙏 I Love TENLEE too.💜
Watching your reaction give me an entire new perspective to phantom...
I hope you react to WayV On My Youth soon. The song and their performance in the MV is sooo good. OMY also has an English language performance video.
This is my favorite sub unit of NCT. I loved this song and mv. Seeing it performed live at Kcon was the best. They look even better in person.😊
THEY REALLY NAILED EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS CONCEPT, "PHANTOM OF THE OPERA".
My favorite moment in Phantom mv is those last shots where they're putting on their masks... the pacing and timing of the editing to the music gives me chills every time!
Yes! Ten is a God tier idol. But Wayv is truly one the best, for sure one of my ult groups. So, I'm so happy to see this reaction! Hoping for a reaction to On My Youth next
I'm in love with this video as well as the song, reminded me a bit of soundtrack to King Arthur: Legend of the Sword movie ! My fav moment - Xiaojun's parts , woah 😍 he is like a real phantom of opera ♡
Dude. I canNOT wait for your reaction to On My Youth.
I love the stunned silence 😇 but yes, this MV reminded me so much of early K-pop music videos, like Sherlock by SHINee, Hyde by Vixx and MAMA by EXO! It has satisfied the old K-pop fan in all of us 💚
All I'm gonna say is if you're craving for the grandeur mellow come for WayV !!!
Olease react to On My Youth too.. it became my most 3 fave title track song of WayV along with Phantom and Moonwalk
WayV On My Youth next pls!!! Plus the performance video, It’s so good!
It really did come out at such a weird time - But the hype for this comeback was off the charts for me!! What you said about WayV's mvs always being something "more" is a thought that's been creeping in my brain ever since I discovered them.
WayV is always so unique and I’m so sad they’re underrated 😢
Yeah Absolutely true!! TENLEE is the best for me !!!!
The reason I love WayV is because they are literal art! From the styling, to the lyrics, to the video set, to the dance, to the actual music composition. Every single thing about WayV is artistic and that's also how SHINee is! I love that you kind of compared them, because they're both my favorite male groups for that exact same reason.
You should totally check out their new On My Youth album! It’s honestly incredible and I feel like you’d love it too :)
I love this reaction a lot. when I watched this MV first time i just love it too the theme and song and the choreography. After I watched your reaction it recalled my first time I watched it. So enjoyable 😂 thanks so much Btw, the Ten’s dancing part the camera man used Hoverboard while he took the MV (he is so strong and balanced well, you can check In behind the scene of this MV😊)
Thank you for finally reacting to wayv's phantom been waiting for this for a long time.. please react to their latest comeback called On My Youth 🙏 thank you I always love your reaction enjoyed it a lot🥰
I guess it's time for Phantom KUN Remix review? plus live performance 😅
And this is why way v is my favorite NCT sub unit!🥰 they are all sooooooo good!
Hello! It's truly strange because I thought you reacted to this mv already haha or am I having a deja vu. I truly enjoyed your reactions and I am super happy that you reacted to WayV. I hope you could see On My Youth and their track vids too. I think you will love mv's cinematography because you will feel lots of nostalgia with it. The entire OMY album gives off 2nd gen vibes. 🥰 I love how you mentioned that it reminded you of Shinee and DBSK because even Wzns and non wzns said that WayV really gives off 2nd gen vibes and as a 2nd gen fan I am with them in this. But really this reaction is a little special because while others focus on the reaction of their songs, this reaction video is like a breakdown of how Phantom mv was crafted and it makes u appreciate the people behind Phantom mv. Everything was meticulously planned from their album concept to mv down to their stage outfits. Thank you for checking on WayV! Hope you could check out their OMY mv, track vids and album someday 🥰
NOW I CAN NOT WAIT FOR THEIR SONG ✨ON MY YOUTH✨ REACTION 🫠
WayV finally, I had so much fun watching thi! Birthday or On my youth next? :D
Omg you should hear and watch kuns phantom remix!! They performed this version during NCT Nation.
AHHHHHHHHHHH!! PD loves the Phantom MV! Based off this reaction, PD should try checking out the Phantom remix stage WayV had during SMTown/NCT concert. Kun did the remix and the staging is fabulous. The combination of the staging and remix really emphasizes all of WayV's talents.
WayV is that group!!!
Lol! This is natural fan boy reaction😊. You are us with that Oh! Wow! God!?!?!? reactions. Thanks you for reacting to WayV❤
Phantom is just THAT song, it's so grand and sensual. Great reaction!! You gotta check out On My Youth too, its really different but it blew me away. Its got such feels but also wow, the vibes are immaculate imo 👌
I totally enjoyed this reaction. Thank you. It feels so good to see someone who appreciates them. And you found your favorite video. That's excellent. I hope it gives you some healing and lifts you up. Fills up some of the unfortunate void it sounds like you have been feeling. Alot of us suffer with that. It's a magnificent video. Be well brother.
Yes this is also my Best 2022 song. Can you also watch Tens birthday mv- that one is so freaking good 😊. Can’t wait gor you to do analysis on that.
and now you have to watch on my youth!
Hahahah Ten needs your attention 😍 Cause he's worth it ❤
Thank you!! You should watch Kun's phantom remix during NCT Nation too.. It was really great
The day has finally arrived 🫡
I could literally see my face reaction angles in your face when I watched this MV 😂
I think you just reminded me of how amazing phantom was.... I mean this was last year's release but every time I hear it, it sounds so good to the ears, wooh!! The music video too.. I love WayV releases so much I hope you react to their comeback this year too
I love WayV, from their debut I knew they were special. Ten as an all around top tier performer and Xiaojun as a top tier powerhouse vocalist both blow me away. All of the members blow me away too! Thank you for this reaction!
TenLee!! King of performance.
I'm so happy you reacted to this PD!! I was thinking that the boat scene with all the candles (and the whole chandelier thing) was a reference to phantom of the opera, its a really cool set in my opinion.
thank you for reacting to my beloved wayv ❤
i’m excited indeed 🎉🎉❤❤ omg!!! wavy on your channel is my dream haha
...videos 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹... Thank you for uploading PD
the boat, candles, masks, chandelier, stage curtains, and more were all references to Phantom of the Opera! such a fun source of inspiration, and it worked so well
😮😮😮 favorite kpop video ever??!? WILD
Istg, WayV is giving princely vibes, they are so regal, so elegant, everything. Whatever music video they have, they scream ✨expensive✨ Uh, not behind the scenes tho, bc they are a bunch of goof balls 😆 But aesthetic and music? Expensive asf. I feel like they would just give you diamonds. Idk that's how i feel whenever I see and hear WayV perform.
more wayv please
Also love how you said that it felt like the mv was like an old shinee video. Both group's musicality are very similar with each other. I LOVE BOTH OF THEM SO MUCH
omg we’ve been waiting on this one! on my youth next pls!!! thank you ♡
waching this vdo, as a TEN stand, i miss tvxq so much.
Just be the way you want, I love your videos don't change anything! It's fan if your a fan and it's fan if you're just screaming over a video, it's alright ❤
