EARLY ACCESS: NEWJEANS - ‘DITTO’ MV (SIDE A) + ‘OMG’ MV REACTION

Heyo. Hope your weekend is going well! 

Just wanted to get this out to you - it's the next reaction video for this upcoming week. Another 4th gen girl group. Another NewJeans. Which I am LOVING. 

They are so good! I honestly cannot stop listening to these two songs. And technically the only other songs we've listened to by them is Hype Boy and Cookie, so basically we've had those four songs are on rotation ever since.

So ... does anyone know what ...

EARLY ACCESS: ITZY - “SNEAKERS” M/V + “CHESHIRE” REACTION

So we're dipping our toes here with a bit of Itzy. First time for Allison, not the first time for me! I love Itzy. Their most recent album Loco is probably one of my favorites. 

I didn't really get a chance to check out Sneakers when it came out because Elaine was so sick and we couldn't really find time to record. But I'm glad that we were able to react to it here with their newest release, Cheshire. 

Both songs are so colorful and energetic a...

PATREON EXCLUSIVE: RM OF BTS: TINY DESK (HOME) CONCERT

Hi!

I know ... two posts in one day. I'm getting some real traction on this editing stuff. Once you're in the zone, you're in the zone!

Anyways, here's our reaction video to RM's Tiny Desk Concert with NPR. 

Oh man. Watching these live sets back-to-back make me really wish I shot stuff like this. Elaine and I talked about having her do some live performances of her favorite k-pop songs and would have LOVED to film a stripped down performance of it.&nbs...

EARLY ACCESS: 'VIBE (FEAT. JIMIN OF BTS)' LIVE PERFORMANCE

Hi!

Allison and I noticed that they posted a live version of the song "Vibe" just hours after we finished recording that day. So here's us a few days later reacting to the stripped down, unplugged set. 

I'll probably cut and edit this to add to the original video but here it is in its entirety. 

Hope you enjoy!

EARLY ACCESS: 'VIBE (FEAT. JIMIN OF BTS)' M/V

So this song - THIS SONG. What a VIBE!

Like for real. We were both feeling this one. The dance moves. The George Michael vibes. The leather jacket?!

Both Jimin and Taeyang just delivered. And we are both for it. 

I do have to admit that this is just the MV reaction. The live performance wasn't posted until later that night so we recorded it separately. But I'll probably tack that to the end of this video later for when it posts to Youtube. 

But I wanted to gi...

EARLY ACCESS: RM 'WILD FLOWER (WITH YOUJEEN)' OFFICIAL MV + RM 'STILL LIFE (WITH ANDERSON .PAAK)' OFFICIAL MV REACTION

HI! We're back!

Sorry we went MIA last week - Allison's parents came into town and we couldn't record as planned. But we made up for lost time over the weekend and so there's a lot on the docket. 

First up - RM's new singles Wildflower and Still Life. Both so great!

I love seeing each member's solo work. It really showcases where they're at and what they're going through. RM's perspective is just so beautiful and the way he incorporate art and poetry a...

What's On Deck

Hi!

Sorry for being MIA for awhile there. Allison and I have both been really busy but we just recorded some stuff this morning. So here's what's on deck:

• RM - Wild Flower (with youjeen) MV + Still Life (with Anderson .Paak) MV
• TAEYANG - VIBE (feat. Jimin of BTS) MV
• ITZY - SNEAKERS MV + Cheshire MV
• NewJeans (뉴진스) - Ditto Official MV (side A) + OMG Official MV

We plan o...

PATREON EXCLUSIVE: RUN BTS! 2022 SPECIAL EPISODE - “FLY BTS FLY PART 2” REACTION

Here's part two of Flying Yoga! 

We did lots of laughing here, as per usual of any Run! BTS episode. 

Why are the guys so incredibly graceful but also chaotic but also hilarious but also so pretty at the same time! 

My favorite parts to note: 

• J-Hope's giggles
• Suga's purely graceful sitting on a perch while drinking Chilsung Cider
• each time the members say "face!" or "expression!"
• the members curled up in their littl...

EARLY ACCESS: BTS - 'I NEED U' + 'RUN'

Happy New Year!!

I'm so sorry I forgot to write anything in this little blurb area! My bad. 

Here's the early access video of me and Allison diving into the Bangtan Universe. After watching "Blood Sweat & Tears" awhile back, we decided to take things a few steps back and properly go through the world of the BU. 

I know it was slightly spoiled with BST but honestly I think Allison was more confused than anything. So this will give her some groundwork for everyth...

RUN BTS! 2022 SPECIAL EPISODE - “FLY BTS FLY PART 1” REACTION

We're finally doing it! Getting in some content!

We actually consume a lot of k-content together (so did Elaine and I) but we never really set it up to record for reactions before. But we plan on doing all the things. Elaine's health made it really hard to set up for that. But Allison and I will most likely do full on binges from time to time. It only makes sense to record us as we watch. 

I do want to apologize that we totally ordered food while watching. We were so hungry! ...

PATREON EXCLUSIVE: BTS ARMY MEMBERSHIP KIT - UNBOXING

Merry Christmas, everyone! 

Let's open presents together with this unboxing video. 

Tbh I laughed SO MUCH editing this one because I think Allison and I were on a trip of emotions and delirium and hunger and just chaos. But it was fun just doing this unboxing kit with her - 1) because it was a new experience for her and 2) I got me a legit physical BTS Army membership card. 

I feel so legit. Haha. 

Anyways, enjoy the video! Flying yoga is up next!!<...

EARLY ACCESS: NEWJEANS - ‘HYPE BOY' OFFICIAL MV + 'COOKIE' OFFICIAL MV REACTIONS

So I'm really excited about this new group that we're checking out - NewJeans. I've been hearing a lot about them for awhile now. And you know, I want us to be a channel that is up on the trends. But it's been really hard to find time for both of us to sit down and pick MV's to watch and also get k-dramas in and variety shows and docuseries too ... it's a LOT of content. 

But hey, we wanted to squeeze in NewJeans so here it is! And dude - the songs are JAMZ. I am all for it. <...

EARLY ACCESS + UNBLOCKED: BTS - YET TO COME LIVE PERFORMANCE + RUN BTS DANCE PRACTICE

So brace yourself - there are a lot of tears in this one. Just at the onset. This is the first video that we filmed after Elaine officially passed. And so Allison and I are completely a mess. Don't mind us. 

There was just no way around the pure devastation that we're feeling when we start. It's that "hana, dul, set" that really just had us sent. 

Anyways, you'll get to see us ugly cry for a bit before we go straight into the reaction. Nothing like some BTS to lift up ou...

EARLY ACCESS: BTS JIN - “THE ASTRONAUT M/V” + “THE ASTRONAUT” LIVE WITH COLDPLAY IN ARGENTINA

We're back to our "original programming" with me and Allison! I've been holding off on some of the newer k-pop releases because I want to react to them with you guys. Tbh I wish this timed out to last week just because it was the week that our beloved Jin Hyung went to his military enlistment. 

This song just hits so much harder now knowing that he'll be serving for the next 18 months. Our hilarious, kind-hearted, sensitive, joyful Jin will be serving his country and we will wait. ...

EARLY ACCESS: TXT - LOSER LOVER + LOVESONG + GOOD BOY GONE BAD

So we're finally capping off this crash course with Bill and Christina, and boy  this set of videos did NOT disappoint. Thank God! 

Literally the last couple were a bit iffy between BLACKPINK and Red Velvet - both groups I love but they were unsure about. But it's weird doing this channel and realizing what songs people vibe with and some that they just don't. 

Anyways - both Bill and Christina loved TXT. Like love love. I think it was the ...

EARLY ACCESS - RED VELVET: Psycho + 28 Reasons + Bad Boy

Every time I do a crash course with new guests, I always ask them what their favorite music genre is or who their favorite artist is. Bill and Christina were of no help. They were like - we love everything! So I basically gave them everything. 

Although, at one point Christina did say that she loved a strong, female vocalist. At first I had a hard time thinking of a soloist for that. The vocalists that come to mind are IU and Jean Somi and Heize and Bibi. But someone strong enough ...

EARLY ACCESS: BLACKPINK - Love To Hate Me + You Never Know + How You Like That

So we're halfway through our crash course with Bill + Christina. And I started them off strong with a lot of BTS, but the time has come to try out something new. The obvious choice is BLACKPINK of course. 

Christina had a little bit of a precursor with watching the Netflix documentary already but this was still new to the both of them. And well, the quartet did NOT disappoint. They both actually REALLY liked them. And I'm all about that. 

Bill even said that he's becomin...

EARLY ACCESS: BTS - Black Swan + On Kinetic Manifesto Film + Dionysus

Ok so I didn't go easy on Bill and Christina with my BTS lineup. I literally gave them the hardest hitting, power packed title tracks with MOTS. And so having notebooks just seemed right. It was neat watching them scribble down their thoughts along the way. 

The thing about BTS is that their content is so thoughtfully planned out and deep. And it takes time to process what you hear / see / feel when you listen to their music. And that's why I think asking questions and discussing t...

EARLY ACCESS: BTS: Mic Drop + Save Me + Answer: Love Yourself

So I've been doing KPCC for over a year now and we've have a number of different guests on the channel. But no one has ever been as QUIET and FOCUSED and almost eerily STILL during a reaction. I mean, Christina and I will bop our heads to the music here and there. And well, sometimes I can't help but do the choreo along with my favorite MV's. 

But BILL?! He's like a statue. And that's what we've decided to call him. He's a statue. 

Anyways - here's the next run of BTS re...
