Heads up, our content may start slowing down later this month because I (Umu) will be visiting Korea for the first time!! I'll have less time to edit and review my editor's drafts because I plan to film a ton of fun, exclusive vlogs and interviews when I'm in Seoul. To stay up to date with my journey (and my visit to SM Entertainment) follow me on my IG: @umucado! ➡Watch UNCUT versions of our '28 Reasons' reaction on our Patreon: www.patreon.com/reacttothek 🗓 Reaction Release Schedule + list of all our Patreon-exclusive videos: docs.google.com/document/d/1uvf-u1EJVB-hmB3IU0P6M-obdMNu11fo_aUIf6dur70/edit?usp=sharing
Wow... you will visit SM...!!! Can't wait to see... Take care and having fun!!
Wow, have fun in Korea! I also visited for the first time earlier this year. Enjoy! And thanks for the content as always!
Have fun umu ❤
Looking forward to your journey, Umu. 💛 I am excited for you!!!
And when you get to interview some SM artists, what then 😌
the crazy thing about 28 Reasons is that it is so aligned with Seulgi and her whole personality on and off stage. and also the insane production combined with seulgi’s stellar singing is KILLER
I agree! Although I think it fits her artist personality if that makes sense, I feel like it matches perfectly with her paintings and drawings and her overall aesthetic but then you know her social personality and she's such a softy 😭 I love her so much
I make study videos with classical music on my channel. I would love for you to join me to study, read a book or relax with classical music.
@@bluequeen8022 For me, it's not just that she's a softy; she is such an Introvert that I would never have expected how FORWARD this is, coming from her. This surprised me from her so much! I am so proud of her! :)
@@jamescurfman3284 lmao no one knows how she is off cameras
@@im8036 Her family knows. The other members of RV know (one of them being her best friend). The people she works with on a regular basis know (and, yes, that is an ENTIRE world-class company worth of very skilled people. As a boatload of professionals, they likely would not put up with bullshit from anybody for very long). She would not be FRIENDS with anybody at all if she was a huge liar about her personality type. There would be plenty of media frenzy around her if she actually was a jerk while off-camera. Besides, people she does not work with have caught her on camera while she was busy being a sweetheart, without her knowing she was on camera. Personally, I prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt. You are REALLY reaching with your damnable negativity. Maybe you could spend your time doing something more intelligent than insisting on making yourself look like a dumbass.
16:05 Kevin at the end. BEST COMMENT 👏 "The two people are her and herself" "But when they dance together, it's like both of them are coexisting" "You've been with yourself for 28 years" "The title makes more sense"
"I kissed your brother" becomes even creepier in this scenario 😳
@@tillie_brn right 😟
@@tillie_brn yeah, that would mean she's kissing.. yeah you know
@@tillie_brn damn...

Your new editor did a great job! Give them a pat on the back
IKRR!!
FRRR !! I love this video so much because it’s has seulgi and the editor was soooo good at every point
agree!

What I like the most is that he/she seems to be having fun
the real time reactions were so accurate like that was exactly what was going on through my mind.

*REAL TIME REACTIONS* EDITING WAS PERFECTION, A CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE ✨️ I absolutely adored Seulgi's debut!! 28 Reasons (the track and the mini) showcased what she's capable of so well. I think solo's are super beneficial for this reason, because what idols are able to show with work totally catered to them versus for their group can be very different, and it's nice to see their personal styles shine. I think she showed exactly why she is always spoken of so highly!
Same! I also love that editings part
The Japanese guy's name is Yuta!!!!! Thanks for reminding me cuz I totally forgot his name and kept calling him the Japanese guy from NCT

Ali and Ju Young's reaction to Seulgi's "I kiss your brother" is so relatable 😂2:12

Seriously we don't deserve this kinda quality from the editing to the musical context and everything in between especially when these videos don't even get monetized. At this point I am shocked why every K-Pop company doesn't just give this channel explicit permission to use their music because if any reaction channel deserves it, its this one. Thank you Umu (and the entire crew)
🥲🙏
That is so true. I always come out liking the song more, so like, it helps with promotion 😅
Her album consists 6 songs and all of them are gorgeous 💛
Los Angeles is a masterpiece
Fact 🫶🔥🔥🔥
Crown especially Dead Man Running INSANEEEE
CROWN IS CRAZY IM OBSESSED
SM really outdid themelves with this one, I’m so proud of my girl! All the songs in the album have been on my repeat for weeks. Dead mean running has me simping.
Best female debut
Best debut*

if this song alone impressed you, when you hear the rest of the album you will be even more impressed, I recommend "dead man runnin", it was written by seulgi herself and is very different from what we normally expect from kpop

I want to fangirl over Seulgi and the song but omg the edits on this vid is so hilarious
Finally someone understands that this song has great production and vocals unlike new breeds of KPop fans who judge whether a song is enjoyable or not by chart performance
these new kpop fans called it boring and im speechless. what is boring about this
@@jungwoof not noise music=boring (to them) I would agree that I like her b-sides more, but 28 reasons is so Seulgi and I love it.
This is really so interesting as someone who just listens to 28 reasons and now we get to hear about more in-depth aspects of the music itself. This made me appreciate the song so much more. Seulgi is really amazing. Thank you for this reaction!
the real time reactions part was so hilarious!!! kudos to the editor 🫡
Seulgi caring her own genre, thank you for reacting 28 reasons.
I LOVE THE REAL TIME REACTIONS PART!!
I make study videos with classical music on my channel. I would love for you to join me to study, read a book or relax with classical music.
This was such a great reaction! Love all the new reactors, loved the discussion of her vocals and and all the sybolism and loved the editing!
Seulgi left us speechless
Once you hear this song, you realize what a huge component of Red Velvet's sound Seulgi is. That chorus is the ear-worm of the year.
honestly i think this song has some of the best production to come out of SM like it is CRISP
I like that you guys talk about the good & evil concept melody-wise. And the praises for Seulgi's vocals! I think this reaction video brought me a deeper understanding of this song. Good job!
5:54 16:42 Wait until Adam hears NCT's Boom 😂😂
5:34 Henry calling out 60% of the kpop fandom when this song dropped lmao 💀 Amazing reaction, kuddos to your editors! It's totally understandable if it slows down a bit, enjoy your trip to Seoul Umu ✨
8:57 also, I agree with this, and it adds to the taunting horror of the concept, feels a bit creepy that she's singing so close to you and teasing, it's like you're trapped and she's playing with you like a pray ;-;)
Unfortunately, that part got cut out
Umu really knows seulgi so well, i believe you're one of us right? And i knew it, you're a SEULMATE 💛
I am so proud of Seulgi with this as her solo debut! Obviously you had to see the interview with Sunmi as Seulgi's first stop for the promotions. Before that interview, I did not know they were such good friends; that made it even more special for me. I cried for that one part... Such an inspiring thing to see and hear (and read). When the whole group (RV) reacted to the MV, Wendy told Seulgi that she had never seen anything like this in K-Pop! Total mic-drop moment! That's AWESOME! :)
I make study videos with classical music on my channel. I would love for you to join me to study, read a book or relax with classical music.
Seulgi's solo project is actually a perfect encapsulation of her dark persona as a performer. Crown in particular is just "I'm the evil queen and I own you" which is how I feel when I'm at Seulgi's mercy 😅
Seulgi vocal is insane. The low register brooooo y'all
Umu explaining 28 Reasons album like she has been waiting for this moment in her life 😆 so natural, and i love it
UMUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE EDITING THIS EPISODEEEEEEEEEE omg just shows how much love you have for seulgi (and red velvet) and i also love how you guys enjoyed this masterpiece of a song!!!!!!!!!!!!
Editing credit to our new editor Kota! I'll make sure she receives your love
@@ReacttotheK send her ALL MY LOVE!!!!! Just pure and incredible editing. We surely all felt her love for Seulgi
Your reactions made me fall in love with the song again! I appreciate how you guys dissected everything from the music production to the overall concept of good and evil. Like srsly, listening to your opinions validates why I love the song.. the editing is funny too! 🤣
Honestly, best female solo debut of all time. The amount of hardwork she put into this is album has me speechless. She deserves all the love.
It was so happy to see you guys screaming in the climax of this song. I felt so, too. The moment I happened to listen to this song, I was just enchanted by the song itself. And plus, the music video... Everything was perfect.
Don’t know why I was kind of surprised you reacted to this song because it is so sparse. But then you once again opened my mind up to all the incredible things you had to say about the song and it makes me appreciate listening to it so much more 😍🙌
i loved all the seulgi memes for visual impact in the video! you can tell the editor knows their stuff ;) everyone had such great things to say about her vocals--if they want more i 100% recommend listening to dead man runnin (a b-side from her album), her vocals are off the charts in that song! if there's time i would love to see some vocalists' reactions to that track! but, let's be real the whole album is a masterpiece, soloist seulgi popped off
This really says about the how great the song is. I appreciate all the information and insights from you guys. love the song so much
Bro this song is a work of art... It's so addictive listening to this song and admiring this girl, Seulgi is a goddess!
11:22 I love how you played Red Flavour as an examples of it going high, and then 28 reasons as low... Showing both of these are red velvet and they can in fact do it all!! Catch red velvet's new comeback titled "birthday" this 28th! :)
I watched a video where Taeyeon talked about singing in a warm vs. cool tone. Changed my perspective about singing entirely. I think that’s on display in the 2 audio clips as well in addition to a difference in pitch. Seulgi’s voice is “warmer” in Red Flavor and “cooler” in 28 Reasons
@@YBlvr do you happen to remember what video? I'd love to listen to that!
best female solo debut of all time
9:51 Same, Ali. Same 😍 I don't really know how to explain it, but I've also thought about it that way -- that Seulgi's voice doesn't have a lot of screaming tone to it. She has such a calming voice~
I feel like she's the opposite of aespa's winter... If you get what mean?
I honestly don't know anything about the technical stuff of music so it's kinda mindblowing to me when one of the musicians (Jason, I think) pointed out that the simple minor key changes may have something to do with the concept of good and evil LIKE WOAH, the detail is to that extent?? This just prove that it's so well made 😳
7:31 - 7:46 this is why I love watching your reactions. I didn't realize that it indeed feels like a bare room with empty space. I made my friends listen to it and they all told me it's kinda creepy, and I get them. I just don't know why. This space explanation makes so much sense
I don't know why, but i feel so proud of Seulgi when I watch your reactions. I learned a lot and she deserve so much! And i love the new editing too. The real time reaction was EXACLY what i felt when i watched the mv for the first timeee!
Get ready for Red Velvet 2022 Domination❤🧡💙💚💜
Kang Seulgi has THAT power
Seulgi's whole album has become an obsession of mine, one even the latest Dreamcatcher album didn't break me of. I love the production of this song, but "Crown," "Dead Man Running," and "Los Angeles" are also excellent. It's just one of those albums where the sound design and composition lend themselves perfectly to the quality and tone of the singer's voice. Seulgi has this sultry warmth to her voice which lends itself so well to the darker production choices in this album. Like, Wendy is one of my favorite singers of all time, but I don't think she could have made the songs on this album sound as good. Also, the dubstep head in me just can't get over the bass in "28 reasons" or "Crown." It's got this lovely rasp to it, like it's so powerful it's causing feedback, or electromagnetic interference. Couple that with some very interesting vocal choices/switchups and a lot of great little bits of sound sprinkled in, and you are left with a perfect example of why Kpop is awesome. Truly one of the best Albums of the year, maybe of all time!

My SOTY atm, and I'm not even a Seulgi stan. I just LOVE this song. ❤
I think this reaction matched the hype of the song so much that it actually making me teary eyed 🥺 I love this song so much and i feel like i found my people
MY ACE KANG SEULGI 💛
The album truly served!! It showcased Seulgi's vocals and the great production of the whole album.
I love Seulgi, she’s such a high end artist, you can really see her an her color in her debut. Freaking amazing 🙌🏽 please do NMIXX Dice next 🙏🏽
You should react to the whole album as well. It's a no skip album 😍
Another meticulous breakdown in vocals, instrumentals and composition. Without even mentioning or comparing to Aaliyah !! I feel the production and arrangement of "28 Reasons" lifts so much from traits of Timbaland's production style. This is probably manifested by Yoo Young Jin as his arrangements/production/composition and vocal training has directed Seulgi and many SM acts through his love for r&b. Looking forward to "Nude" being up next. Also cannot wait to see your adventures in Korea... hope you get to meet up and interview with some exciting people/groups/idols/musicians/composers (a meetup with Sera Ryu would be astounding, *wink*😉). Appreciate how you've given the heads up to what youre doing and not like other reactors who dry up for weeks and weeks with no thought to their subs. It's what makes Emma and the ReacttotheK crew the best on YT! (Edit: PS. The "Sorry, Mummy?" had me in stiches...)
Yes, her song instantly reminded me of We need a resolution. Even her outfit in the burgundy reminded me of something Aaliyah wouldve worn. Aaliyah always sang in her lower register too.
yess i loved this!! i found it super interesting how this rly has more boa vibes than typical red velvet, their vocal timbres are surprisingly similar
28 Reasons is crazy but the entire album is even more insane! dead man runnin' gagged me so bad and CROWN which is my favorite track from the mini gave me goosebumps!
This is one of kpop songs that successfully tickled my brain everytime I played it. I really enjoyed listening it with my gaming headset it felt like it pierced through my skull just to tickle my brain. Or maybe it was my ADHD
Watching your reaction on Seulgi's 28 Reasons is so satisfying. Analysing the song, and her voice is so informative. Thank you Clssical Musicians :-)
I love it that you put a lot of seulgi meme in this video..
The whistle and the end she says you're in danger gives shivers down my spine
Seulgi is the Best!!! Love the editing too props to the editor it was a fun reaction vid
When the reactions are too good they had to be compiled, thank you for this!! The Seulgi pics and memes were very cute too haha
Worth of wait... Such a fun editing... And love the new reactors And how you disclose the meaning of the song from lyrics, symbol and even from the production...
when you said "SEULGI's 'CASE 143' MV" in the vid description, i fell for it for a second
Ik im late to this reaction but one thing about my girl Seulgi is she finna sang.
It’s really a good song. I just hoped it did better in Korea’s general public but seeing you guys appreciate the song. I hope Seulgi can reach this video since she put a lot into this
Seulgi's voice is so amazinggggg and it's also creepy. Thanks for your reactions.
I love how musicians react to Red Velvet stuffs and just agree even though I don’t understand what they’re saying 😂😂😂😂 I’m not smart enough for y’all but hey I know they’re complimenting Seulgi so all good ✨✨✨✨
KANG SEULGI SUPREMACYYYY
Seulgi really serving DAMN
Umuuu the edit in this is so GOOD! I always loved you guys' format, but this was just next level
Huge credits to our new editor Kota!!!
@@ReacttotheK we stan kota
This new editing is so funny, and the analyze of the melody is just top notch!
I've been waiting for this so long, and its end up with superb editing haha very entertaining 🤣 Seulgi always makes everyone goosebumps
YOUR EDITING HERE IS CRAZY!! Improved so much. Been your subscriber for over 3 yrs already. I laughed so hard in the actual reactions part 🤣♥️♥️. Lovit!
This the most informative and interesting reaction channel,kudos to all the reactors n the editor makes me appreciate n love the song and proud of seulgi more.
Im really happy to get a react on Seulgi 28 reasons!!! SHE IS THE BEST!!! Also i cant wait for Red Velvet Comeback this Nov 2022 HEHE hope you guys will react to it
4:26 BEST PART JFKFHDKHD
Horny Jail had me in tears, the editing was perfect 😂
Finally !! Best reaction video for 28 reasons for me Love the whole solo album Wish to have others song reaction too!
The editing is so good!!! Great reaction, loved it. This song is one of my favs of the year. top notch
Thank you thank you thank you, this was so wonderful. I love all the analysis, all the vocal appreciation, all the production appreciation. I loooooooove the edits, all of the little Red Velvet images incorporated, confused Seulgi face, yesyesyes.
i swear this song really fits her so much and i'm so amazed of how it turns out like our queen seulgi never disappoints
Seulgi first solo album was a fireee !!! All songs are awesome !!
omg i used to think music nerds just complain about everything popular but it's nice to see them talk about what they liked
im waiting for thisss seulgi really cool for this solo 😭😭⭐⭐⭐
All the editing and Seulgi meme so funny haha
9:18 the editor need a raise
Hey, the editing was really cool in this video. While I'm not very versed in music theory the little example snippets made me feel like i'm following the discussion and also the editing brought some light-heartedness and playfulness into the video, made me think of your earlier more fangirling VIXX content that I originally enjoyed. Good job!
HERE IT IS HERE IT IS!!!! I've been waiting for this and love the editing
5:32 - FINALLY! SOMEONE SAID IT! edit: So in the first day of upload, UMU and Henry said something in this part that will snatch the wigs of everyone. RIP to that part. You will be missed.
"I kissed your brother. BOOM!" I've never felt more seen in a reaction, and I don't even have a brother.
Yes! and NXDE is next? Love you guys. "28 reasons" is everything - as your reactors mentioned, I love the way the production uses space. And Seulgi's voice is one of the few that could command the center in the bare spots as well as the fuller ones. It was the perfect song for her debut: showcasing the versatility of her vocals and the varieties of her personas. It was very much her song - and not many artists in the genre are capable of delivering the nuanced, moody aesthetic this piece evokes. It was rewarding to see the different ways all of you described how the song evoked the range of mood and meaning within it.
I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS REACTION VIDEO 😭🙌🏼 especially the real-time reaction of you guys altogether and the boom-boomboom-boom at the end. What a masterpiece!
3:37 here Kevin is right. The whistle starts at the beginning of the chorus instead of being in the second half like the first chorus did 😊
the editing is very tasteful this episode, really love it!
Am I old for being sad that no one connected this at all stylistically to Timbaland and his work for/With Aaliyah? 😪😪 Because I definitely felt that connection with the way the base and sound sampling was used. Anyway, a fantastic debut and a lovely mini album.
I also hear so much of Timbaland and Aaliyah in this. Cannot unhear it!
the video's edition is so crazy, I lov it
The editing was god tier!!! Love love the video, and Seulgi is my ult so Im so happy for her solo, and how good it is, and how her talent is being appreciated and recognized!
The use of higher and lower ranges to show the contrasted blend of good and evil is beautiful.
for me this is the best reaction!! 😍
