Girl Groups, BTS, SKZ, Little Mix, Seventeen & J-Rock! (Livestream Recording: 2 Hours)

The One Ok Rock song was actually written as part of a tv show they did. A group of a thousand 18-22 year old wrote in and shared their struggles in live and they things they go through. The guys watched all of this and created the song based on that. https://youtu.be/yB6O4kQwnWk this is the performance from the show unfortunately their are no English subs but the performance is incredible to watch. They have a choir of those thousand kids and it is such a beautiful performance it brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it. I would highly recommend checking this version out as well.

It was so amazing getting to be there at the concert in Busan to see them perform RUN BTS for the first time. The energy was absolutely out of this world!!

I've also been listening to some NewJeans, but I'm not keen to check them out beyond that because they're so young. And Mamamoo are absolutely amazing and I've been listening to them since 2016, they're music is always so good and they're such great performers (always sing live and have great energy!) I also think you should react to Twice. They're really popular, they've been around for a while and have great music. As for BTS, this one live performance of Run BTS will need to tide me over until we get another! I love it so much!! I also love their cover of I'll Be Missing You but rarely listen to it. (This song was performed at my dad's funeral so it always makes me a little emotional :( ) But I really loved your reaction, I'm glad you liked it bc they really did the song justice!

Wow- what a great livestream! I've been OBSESSED with Le Sserafim recently, so it was nice that you checked them out! Apart from the maknae, the age range of the other members is 19-24 and they seem quite passionate about their music (especially Yunjin!!) You should check out Raise y_our glass by Yunjin, so so good!! https://youtu.be/KTTH-2j6Fj8

When you have the time I’d definitely suggest watching Seventeen’s In the soop! It’s so fun and wholesome!

ONE OK ROCK is sooooo good. Easily in my top 3 favorite jrock bands of all time. Maybe even in my top 10 fav just plain old rock bands ever. Their Live performances are STELLAR but don't sleep on the their MVs as they are dope. Their songs and lyrics are often very uplifting, are about digging deep into the rawness of being human, or about social and political criticism/commentary. They've gotten me through some of the worst times of my life. I've been into them even longer than I've been into SHINee. Taka is an incredible vocalist and he has a lot of videos of him just singing rather than rocking out if you want to check them out. Taka speaks English fluently so they also will often release 2 versions of their title songs, one in English and one in Japanese. (Especially in recent years). I usually like both versions so it's all good to me. The band just recently released their 10th album last month called "Luxury Disease" actually. Fun fact the band name "ONE OK ROCK" is a play on words. It's technically meant to be pronounced like "1 o'clock" due to the way you say it in Japanese or with a Japanese accent (One Oku R/Lock). (Japanese doesn't exactly have an L or R sound. It's sort of a mix between the two.)

you should definitely check out le serafim's docu, like im not even really a fan yet or a big gg stan in general, but after watching it, I gained a new found respect for them, they really are something special!

Fun fact! I saw ONE OK ROCK for the first time when they opened for 5sos and absolutely fell in love. They are what got me into foreign music which later developed into my love for K-pop. The energy they brought to the stage was what initially caught my attention even when they sang their Japanese songs. It was the first time I was exposed to music being in another language yet it didn’t matter because I felt the energy. I later looked into them and followed them after that. I really dove into J-pop because of them and even though personally I’m not a huge fan of the genre I did find some awesome groups that eventually led me to The Rose (who are my absolute favorite) and then the world of K-pop. Also I live for 5sos’ love for them.

You need to watch Han on Mujin Service, its so good! I love SKZ live.

Michaela Rosková

OMG you listened to ONE OK ROCK!!!!!! I Ben following them for like 10 Years now, I’ve seen them live 3 times, those were the best shows I’ve ever been to, their energy is unmatched. I recommend to watch everything from them live, I recommend the clock strikes and deeper deeper!

Thanks for watching the SKZ videos. They are absolutely incredible on stage, all of them. Hyunjin was named the kpop performance leader, 4th gen performance leader and Studio Chooms choice for best male dancer. His name often gets mentioned with Kai and Taemin for having a really distinct style of dance and a phenomenal stage performance. His flexibility as a dancer and choreographer is incredible. I often think that it was his lack of formal training before joining JYP that benefitted him the most bc he really didn’t develop in a rigid way, he was able to learn many styles concurrently. He is definitely one of the best performers out there. Han and Chan as well, they are all strong performers but there’s something special about 3retcha (3racha plus Hyunjin) imo.

Yay le sserafim! If you want to see more of them in the future I do recommend lenniverse (show similar to run bts), my faves are ep 4 and 5, or one of their group vlogs :)
