Classical String Players React: 치즈 (CHEEZE) - 그렇게 됐어 (feat. Young K (DAY6)) (Enerel & Claire)

ILLIT "bomb" EP Review | ReacttotheK Weekly #77

Just as the title track refurbishes an orchestral sample from an 80s anime, Illit's "bomb" mini-album brings a modern twist to classic dance music, causing Umu, Cloud, and Ju Young to draw comparisons to everything from Caramelldansen to SoBangCha. With funky bass and catchy, repetitive melodies, "bomb" wormed its way into our ears and hijacked our brains like some kind of musical toxoplasmosis.

Apologies for the 're-upload' notif spam!

If you've been a member of our Patreon since 2017, you probably already knew that we had a lot of Patreon content linked from/on Google Drive. At one point, editors would upload the videos to their own drives and then link them here. That wasn't sustainable (they ran out of space), so we moved everything over to my UofR college account that had unlimited space. Long story short, it wasn't sustainable for UofR college either, because my acc has been deleted.

They had warned us a couple o...

[UNCUT] Classical Musicians React: TWICE ft. Megan Thee Stallion 'Strategy'

This video includes the uncut reaction footage of Kevin/Danica, Helen/Honor and Izaiah/Aiden's reaction footage. We were also able to rescue Umu's mic for Marcus/Django and Saffion/Taya's reactions, so we have included that as well since their reaction/commentary was quietly captured!

Classical composer & horn player react: NCT TEN ‘STUNNER’ (Sean & Umu)

idk what to do - need your vote!

ITZY's latest EP has been voted to be our next ReacttotheK Weekly Podcast episode! However, due to our summer-time filming hiatus, none of our current react crew will be allowed to listen to it until react film sessions start up in late august. This limits us to who we can feature in the podcast episode.

Due to the alumni available/interested to participate, I think the earliest we may be able to release the ITZY podcast review will be between July 31st-August 5th. Here are our choic...

Deep Dive w/ Jason - BTS RM (with Anderson .Paak) ‘Still Life’

Yeahhh...this was shot ~4 years ago. Just realized I hadn't posted it yet, so here you go!
Jason is moving to SF for school next year, so fingers crossed I'll be able to find some cheap flights from SD to SF so we can feature him again on the channel! :D

(early access) Classical Musicians React: Stray Kids '락 (樂) LALALALA' vs '락 (樂) (Rock Ver.)'

Jazz & Indie Rock Musician React: RIIZE ‘Siren’ (Sam & Will)

Classical Musicians React: NCT DREAM 'Smoothie' [D2]

#ThrowBackThursday, I guess. Back in 2024, we filmed 6 react pairs for Smoothie, but with our busy editing schedule, we decided 2 react pairs delivered all the most interesting and funny commentary. We began to edit it, but the editor’s life exploded on her and she was unable to finish editing the video. I just realized that I could look to see if I still had her draft downloaded, and so here it is!

[UNCUT] Classical Musicians React: 8TURN 'LEGGO'

IU 'Flower Bookmark 3' EP Review | ReacttotheK Weekly Podcast #76

IU is back with her 3rd 'Flower Bookmark (Kkot-Galpi)' remake album and the Uaena classical musicians, Umu, Ju Young and Sam, have gathered to combine their 2 last brainscells to analyze and compare each track with the original releases! From mind-blowing renditions to emotional transformations, we find ourselves falling in love with IU all over again.

Classical Musicians & Producer Review: KPop Demon Hunters | ReacttotheK Weekly Podcast Ep.75

There are two groups dominating the charts right now and they're... fictional groups? From a movie?? Sony Pictures Animation's "KPop Demon Hunters" may just be the biggest Kpop-related event of the year as the film exploded in popularity after it dropped on Netflix, quickly becoming the most-watched movie on the platform. The soundtrack has also found a life of its own, becoming one of the highest charting movie soundtracks of the decade and apparently peaking higher than powerhouses like BTS...
