Special 'Debut' Livestream ft. BTS, Stray Kids, 5SOS, 1D, Seventeen & More (Recording: 2.5 Hours)

No idea if you still read comments on old videos, but just in case-- It always pains me a little (joking) when people watch TXT's debut and are like, "Oh, this is so cheerful and upbeat!" It's not that "CROWN" isn't upbeat musically, and they have a very bright sound to their synths, but the lyrics of the song are almost painful. It's a very purposeful juxtaposition between the lyrical content and the musical presentation, I think. "Who am I staring blankly in the mirror? / Save me; I don't know who I am. [...] Are your [angel] wings the same pain as mine [devil horns]?" Maybe it's a little cheesy for them to have done this with a newly debuted group, but I think "CROWN" is supposed to be about puberty and the confusion that comes when your body and worldview is suddenly changing every day, all the time. The song is upbeat and hopeful, but there's an undercurrent of pain and confusion to it. TXT uses that as an emotional through-line in their discography as the "youth" who is the main character of their discography discovers themself through friendship, love, loss, growth, etc. They do also have a fictional storyline in their music, but besides the fantasy story, just listening to their title tracks in order is a sort of coming-of-age story, I think.

Hello! Thank you for the reactions :) I would say hit the road was one series that I really enjoyed a lot as I really got to see a different side vs what they are like in going seventeen. Another one I really enjoyed was the Seventeen's In the Soop series. Their edition of season 2 will be coming up soon!

Hello, Thank you for reacting to SHINee, it's very interesting 😊 I would like to recommend some special videos for SHINee, called "Dear My SHINee World", basically for the release of their album Don’t Call me, Shawols had the opportunity to leave them voice messages and in these videos, they individually respond to some of their messages 😊 Onew: https://youtu.be/Sb87jAYxmzs Key: https://youtu.be/WGBpIEDDWDA Minho: https://youtu.be/X9qyb7O4rMY Taemin: https://youtu.be/c4E4Wy3YTOY Have a nice day/night 😊

Fun video! Ten (NCT U) is an incredible performer! He has a few English songs that are a lot of fun (Paint Me Naked, Birthday, Dream in a Dream, New Heroes). Plus his work in WayV is really cool too. My husband is obsessed with a song he did with Taeyong called Baby Don't Stop (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0DqRstCgj4). Another great video to possibly check out. In my humble opinion, he's on the top tier level of performers in Kpop (and he happens to be Thai).

Yes! What was the song?

Harry was the "flirt. womanizer," etc from even earlier on than this to an extent it messed with his image completely they made skits of him hitting on woman on the xfactor when he was 16 and since than interviews and the media won't leave him alone about older woman and dating it made him very uncomfortable at a certain point in the band, he would get frustrated with the amount of dating and womanizer questions he was asked and the boys would try to steer it away constantly.

oooh I missed this live, can't wait to watch it! also, would you be interested in checking out little mix's debut song too?

K

someone in the chat mentioned about the 10 year anniversary show and I think that's a great video to check out! they did a cool thing with gotta get out and recreated this video and the show is very comedic but tied in with music performances. it's a great way to get to know more of their joking side

Wowww. Im a pretty solid casual listener of mamamoo, like I really like them and a lot of their more popular music but I’d never heard their debut song before ! That was so cool and so unique. I think they’re all so talented, it always surprises me that they aren’t more popular tbh
