EARLY ACCESS: BLACKPINK - BLACKPINK’S JISOO - “꽃(FLOWER)” MV + DANCE PERFORMANCE VIDEO REACTION

Hi!

Hope you all had an amazing Easter weekend! I would have posted this video yesterday but it seemed too much of a holy day that I thought it was ok to wait one day.

Although - Jisoo's title track is called "Flower" and I think that's kind of fitting for Easter, right?

Can we talk about how stunning she is in this music video. And how fun and cheeky this song is. And just what a strong selection this was for her solo piece. I'm really loving it.

Anyways, her...

WHAT'S ON THE HORIZON

Hi! Happy Monday!

Hope you're doing well. I personally just batch edited a bunch of videos over the weekend so I feel great ;) 

I wanted to give you an update of what's coming up next:

Patreon Exclusive Content:

• JIMIN OF BTS - Jimmy Fallon bits, interview, and Like Crazy Live Performance
• KPCC Throwback - Allison’s first taste of BTS debut MV’s 2023-04-10 16:01:29 +0000 UTC View Post

EARLY ACCESS: BLACKPINK - “How You Like That” MV + “Shut Down” MV REACTION

SORRY - NEW LINK!!

Ok! Here's part two of K-Pop reactions with Duy and Johnny!

They are so funny. I kind of love that they invited themselves onto our reaction channel. Kind of bummed I didn't add another   poster up there in the top left hand side, but oh well. It is what it is.

Well, surprise surprise. The boys loved BLACKPINK. We'll have to do a deep dive for all of them (Allison included) because she hasn't seen everyt...

EARLY ACCESS: BTS - “MIC Drop (Steve Aoki Remix)” MV + DANCE PRACTICE REACTION

HIiiiiiii!

Sorry for the major delay. I was waiting on a file from Allison before editing these vids and that's why it took awhile. But here it is! The boys next door! Their reactions!

Omg just editing these videos made me realize how crazy impromptu this recording sesh was and they weren't as chaotic as it seemed. I think I was just super thrown off from the spontaneity but I loved the energy they brought. 

I also love the amount of questions and curiosity they had. Li...

PATREON EXCLUSIVE: ROAD TRIPPIN' WITH E + JO

Is it weird to post videos with Elaine in them? I hope not. 

It's just that we reacted to NewJeans' "Ditto" awhile back and it really reminded me of the k-drama "25 21" that I had just finished. And then I remembered how Elaine had a full on rant about the show during our road trip out to Las Vegas last year before the BTS concert. 

Wow. I can't believe that was almost a year ago. 

Anyways, I decided to pull that little mini interview about the k-dramas with E...

EARLY ACCESS: JIMIN - “LIKE CRAZY” MV + DANCE PRACTICE REACTION

Hi!

So confession time - this reaction video is coming at you out of order. We had to rush edit the "Like Crazy" video and so all our talk about the boys next door seem out of context. 

Those videos will come out next. Sorry about the confusion! But I wanted to give this to you ASAP! 

It's hard to stay on top of the new releases because they keep on coming out with new songs! Like legit - BTS decided to break from group activities to prep for the military but that ...

PATREON EXCLUSIVE: KPCC BLOOPER REEL

Hiya!

Here's some bloopers that I've been saving up these last few months. Just moments beforehand or in between reactions. thought some of these were hilarious so I wanted to share.

I just realized this wasn’t even on the list of things I meant to edit for you. It’s just bonus!

Enjoy!

WHAT'S TO COME

Hiya!

Sorry it's been super quiet around here. I meant to cut some quick, funny videos for y'all but I got real busy with work stuff. But I'll try to queue some up over the weekend!

Allison and I filmed earlier this week and our NEIGHBORS crashed it. Like legit, the boys across the way, the ones we talk about constantly ... they were like "what are you guys doing?? Can we join?"

And so yeah, our next batch of videos will include Duy and Johnny! We're really rusty when it com...

EARLY ACCESS: XG - “LEFT RIGHT” MV + “SHOOTING STAR” MV REACTION

You guys - I'm not going to lie, but I really like these two XG songs. 

I don't know what it is - maybe because they're brand new? Maybe because their sound has very much a 90's retro R&B vibe? Maybe because they're singing in English? I don't know but I'm really liking them. 

It's weird to edit these back and see how much my brain is processing on camera. But tbh I've been listening to it nonstop off camera. Between these two songs, all of Newjeans,...

EARLY ACCESS: TWICE - "SET ME FREE" MV + TWICE “SCIENTIST” MV REACTION

Hi!

Here's the next reaction - this time we're back with Twice!

Did anyone else think it was uncanny that their newest single was also named "Set Me Free" ... at first I thought maybe it had some sort of relation to Jimin's "Set Me Free" but I don't think that's the case. 

Either way this song is a bop. I feel bad that I still don't know all the girls names - they're at least recognizable and whatnot. But we really have to do a breakdown video because I feel ba...

EARLY ACCESS: JIMIN - “SET ME FREE PT.2“ MV + DANCE PRACTICE REACTION

Hi! 

Sorry - I meant to get this to you yesterday but the day got away from me. I'll have to slip this one in on the rotation onto YouTube while things are so fresh for Jimin. So the early access isn't the typical one week buffer as all the other videos. I'm so sorry about that! 

Rush edits still take time because I still like to do all the extra tidbits in the editing. But anyways! 

WE LOVED THIS MV. 

We loved the song, the choreo, the art directio...

WHAT'S ON THE HORIZON

HI!

Hello to our new Patrons! So excited to have you here. Just wanted to give everyone an update on what's to come. Tbh scheduling has been a little crazy between both Allison and my schedules but we managed to squeeze in a day of filming this week. And we hope to do more this weekend. 

But here's what's coming up next (all early access videos):

• BTS’ JIMIN - Set Me Free Pt.2 MV + Dance Practice
• TWICE - SET ME FREE MV ...

PATREON EXLUSIVE: IMPROMTU REACTION WITH ALLISON

Hello!

Sorry we've been MIA. Our schedules have been crazy busy and it's been hard to coordinate a time to react. But we managed to film last night so hopefully we'll get some newer reactions to you soon!

In the meantime, here's an impromptu reaction to Dimple/Pied Piper and Run BTS Live in Busan that I found from last November. As you can tell, it wasn't planned and YouTube was just autoplaying some stuff. I didn't want to gate-keep this amazing Vocal Line body-...

PATREON EXCLUSIVE: JO + ALLISON GO TO LACMA AND DO SOME K-POP SHOPPING

HI!

Happy Friday! Also Happy St. Patrick's Day! I am realizing right now that I'm not wearing any green ...

Anyways, I just have to say that I'm pretty proud of this edit. We went to LACMA a couple weeks ago and I've been sitting on this footage for awhile. I just really wanted to do the experience some justice. I mean, it's RM of BTS guiding us through all the Korean artwork.

Like what a cool privilege to have him be the one to talk you through som...

PATREON EXCLUSIVE: RUN BTS - “2023 SPECIAL EPISODE - NEXT TOP GENIUS PART 2“ REACTION

Alrighty. Here's the second half of Run BTS Top Genius. Now I've seen all 150+ episodes of Run BTS but these are all new for Allison. She doesn't really know the guys outside of the MV's and live performances yet. 

But after having watched them in so many, you kind of get used to how everyone is. Jimin and Suga and Jin usually win with wits and brains and just plain strategy. JK is the super artsy one or just great at like every sports activity. J-Hope doesn't know how to lie so he...

The AWARD WINNING Short That Allison Directed

Heyo. 

How can I mention the short film so many times without sharing it with y'all? 

Well, here it is - Chemistry. 

Wyatt and Sara are two actors who've been called to do a CHEMISTRY read for a big movie. When they realize who they'll be auditioning with, tensions rise, and we discover these two have HISTORY.

I wanted to show it to everyone so that you can get to know us as our creative selves. The music that Elaine made and t...

EARLY ACCESS: BTS - “WINGS Short Films #1-7” REACTION | K-POP CRASH COURSE

Heyo. 

So you guys have NO IDEA how excited I am to share this reaction with you guys. It's a little atypical for most BTS reactors ... I was really adamant about showing Allison the BU in order. And that includes the Wings Short Films. 

I don't know if I've emphasized this for everyone enough but Allison is a super talented film director. Like I've been her roommate for years (before Elaine and again now) and she's always been honing her craft. But as of recent...

EARLY ACCESS: J-HOPE - “ON THE STREET (WITH J. COLE)“ OFFICIAL MV + BTS “BORN SINGER” LIVE PERFORMANCE REACTION

HI!!

Happy Sunday. So I'm going to do what I normally don't do ... but slip this video onto YouTube before the Lalisa/Money and the TXT videos go out. I hate doing things out of order but I have to do J-Hope solo while it's still hot!!

So here you go - early access but only like a two day early access?? I'm sorry about it. I try to give the Patrons a good week (at least) early access before anyone else. But this is what happens when things are fresh and new. 

Anyways - ...

WHAT'S ON THE PIPELINE

Hi!

So I feel already so behind. This is what happens on Daylight Savings. Bah! 

I've been wanting to send you an update on what's to come - sorry it's taken awhile. Anyways ... this is what's coming up next for posts/reactions:

Patreon Exclusive Content:

• Run BTS! 2023 Special Episode - Next Top Genius Part 1
• KPCC Vlog - Jo + Allison Go To LACMA to visit the Korean Art Exhibit narrated by BTS’ RM
• KPCC Throwback - An unpl...

EARLY ACCESS: TXT - “LO$ER=LO♡ER“ MV + “0X1=LOVESONG FEAT. SEORI” MV REACTION

So I'll have to show it to you guys one day but I have this giant board full of Post-It's. Just trying to map out what we can watch for reactions (our recs along with yours/YouTube recs). And well, I was excited when Allison picked the TXT Post-It. 

I seriously love this pair of songs! I've shown it to guests on the channel twice already because people need to know how good TXT is! 

I've only seen a few of their other MV's so I can't wait to dive deeper into their music....

EARLY ACCESS: BLACKPINK’S LISA - “LALISA” MV + “MONEY” EXCLUSIVE PERFORMANCE VIDEO REACTION

** SORRY - NEW LINK (I had to make a quick edit) **

Hiya!

Thank you so much for your patience as I went to work and edited some goods for y'all. Sometimes I go in spurts and so this is the first of a few coming your way!

We got some BLACKPINK solos here with our girl Lisa! And we got some ASMR and pink Oreo's because why not?!

I was hoping to get the LACMA vlog done before this one so that these videos would come to you chronologically but that wasn't the case. Sorry a...

IMPROMTU PERFORMANCE BY ELAINE FAYE

Hiya!

I'm like SUPER behind on editing and I feel bad because I haven't posted anything in a while! But I do have some goodies in my arsenal that I want to share with y'all, our amazing Patrons!

Here is an impromptu performance by Elaine Faye that I filmed about a year ago. I haven't shared much about our friendship and how we started the channel and how being her roommate was one of my favorite things that came out of the pandemic ... but it's something that I hope to dive deeper...

PATREON EXCLUSIVE: RUN BTS - “2023 SPECIAL EPISODE - NEXT TOP GENIUS PART 1“ REACTION

100% - we need to get these cat ears. 

That's all I have to say. Just kidding. 

But seriously, where do I get these cat ears??

We're back at Run BTS! here but dude, I have to apologize for us both being 1) so incredibly tired and 2) so incredible hungry. 

I originally wanted to put in a counter to see how many times I yawned and/or times we said we were hungry. We have got to get snacks into our setup. I just feel bad when we're munching along w...

EARLY ACCESS: BLACKPINK - “BOOMBAYAH“ MV + “PLAYING WITH FIRE” MV REACTION

Heyo. 

We're back to our Queens, BLACKPINK!! Like seriously tho - we've been trying hard core to get back to them. But there's just so many groups out there, it's hard to keep them at the top of the rotation. 

But we've got two early songs here. I'm not sure what you call this era, but the Boombayah era-ish. The girls look so young and little here! They came out strong in 2016, for sure. But it's really kind of cool to see how they've matured and come into their own by 2...

UNBLOCKED EARLY ACCESS: DREAMCATCHER - “BOCA” MV + “VISION” MV REACTION

Heyo. 

So I tried loading this video up on YouTube and it was partially blocked. And I'm not quite sure why so I'll have to deal with re-exporting it and whatnot. But I figured I'd get this to you now!

We're doing something a little bit different this time - we're checking out Dreamcatcher. Tbh this was not my jam but Allison is my co-host and we're exploring the world of k-pop together. And this was her request. More rock. And ergo - Dreamcatcher. 

I'm still kind ...

WHAT'S COMING UP

Heyo. Happy Tuesday! 

I don't know about you but I've basically had a whirlwind of a day today. Emotions have been high! First - no presale codes for Agust D. I've been waitlisted. Omg. My world went crashing this afternoon!

I sulked for maybe an hour and then went to work. I called everyone I knew who might possibly have presale codes. And now I think I might possibly maybe just maybe get a spare ticket. Ideally two. For me and Allison. At least that's the plan. I'll keep y'...

PATREON EXCLUSIVE: RUN BTS - “2022 SPECIAL EPISODE - 'RUN BTS TV' ON-AIR PART 2“ REACTION

Hi! 

So this published before I could write up a little diddy. My bad! Sorry about that. I'm still working on getting things squared away now that I have actual Patrons here!

Anyways - here is Part Two of the One Air episode of Run BTS. Again, we laughed a lot. I love these guys so much!

Tbh I had no clue what was happening in RM's segment. He was going so fast, I was like "oh this is why he's a genius." And Jimin's ASRM was probably the worst thing ever. But he's still...

PATREON EXCLUSIVE: RUN BTS - “2022 SPECIAL EPISODE - 'RUN BTS TV' ON-AIR PART 1“ REACTION

Hi!

Hope y'all are having a great day so far. Just wanted to give you the next episode of Run BTS - it's the one where they all have their own YouTube channels. I cannot express enough how much this episode had us DYING. 

OMG literally Jin's whole section was so hilarious I can't. It may be my new favorite reaction moments ... it's just so funny. Basically we're both just screaming at him for the entire bear segment. And then screaming in general at the horror video game beca...

EARLY ACCESS: BTS - “ON STAGE : PROLOGUE” + “EPILOGUE : YOUNG FOREVER” MV REACTION

Hiya!

We’re diving back into the Bangtan Universe finally. It’s been awhile and it’s so hard with so many great bands and new content and BU content and k-dramas and variety shows … we're trying to pace ourselves but also binge. It’s a conundrum ☺️☺️

Anyways. We for realz need to get notebooks for these types of reactions. Between the BU and NewJeans Universe - I’m like it’s time to take notes!

There’s so much going on! I'm a creative director and All...

PATREON EXCLUSIVE: J-HOPE - “2022 MAMA - MORE + Arson | Mnet 221130“ LIVE PERFORMANCE REACTION

What better way to follow up the two MV's than with the stage performance of More and Arson. 

J-HOPE OWNED THAT STAGE.

He is meant for live performances. And I love it. 

We've been mostly doing MV's on the channel so it's nice to mix in the live performances. Especially the award show ones because you know it's going to be a spectacle! 

I've been trying to sneak in the NewJeans MAMA performance just because I'm a huge fan now. But if y'a...
