(sighs) - ♪ Bring the boys out ♪ - Boys out, I literally was just... ♪ Girls generation make you ♪ ♪ Feel the heat ♪ I was literally just singing that, wow. - I have the benefit of not speaking Korean. - Right, so I probably won't sing. - (React) AleXa, tell us a little bit about what happened to your voice? What's going on? - Yeah, okay, party. So I actually had a concert not too long ago at the local K-PLAY! FEST in Pomona.
Lots of screaming, lots of singing, lots of talking. It's been four days. (whimpers) - (React) Oh my gosh. I thought this was yesterday! - Oh! - No! - Oh no! - Okay, Nayeon.
- Ugh, don't do this to me! - Do you know the dance? (buzzer) - Eat up! - Don't do it! - Don't do the fingers! - Don't do it! - I almost said it too. - ♪ Pop, you want it ♪ (buzzer) ♪ Pop pop pop ♪ ♪ (singing in Korean) ♪ ♪ I wanna make it ♪ - ♪ Pop pop, pop you want it ♪ - ♪ Pop pop pop, uh uh ♪ - (React) Yes! - Right off the bat! - You started with such a hard one! - I don't even listen to pop, like, I don't even think I have it liked on Spotify, and that was difficult for me. (laughs) - I was like well, good thing I can't dance.
- I was like... - We may have lost that, but we won. Hmm. - Mm-hmm-hmm.
- And I stand by that. - I love her, she's from TWICE, and this is her solo song. - What I love about Nayeon's voice is that it's so like wide. - I agree. - Like, when she sings, it gets up there. - And she like, has very good stage presence. - Yes! - Like there's a bunch of people, and I'm just staring at her.
- Like, and very enjoyable. - I love that song. - 'Cause listen, I know K-Pop's popular all over the world, but me, being an idol living in Korea, I hear these songs all the time on the radio, so I'm walking down to get groceries, and I'm like... (both humming) - Also, I know, pop, pop, pop. - You know that you've made a great song when it is impossible not to move. - That song was just too hard not to.
I'll try from now on. Starting... - No. (both laugh) - Not my girl, Jennie! - ♪ We don't buy it ♪ ♪ We request it, uh ♪ ♪ A rockstar, a pop star ♪ ♪ But rowdier ♪ - Oh. (buzzer) Oh wait.

- Because I was more marveling at how beautiful she is. I was like okay, stay with that, and then the beat dropped, and I was like are you kidding me? - BLACKPINK was in your area. You have to move. - You have to move! - They are headlining Coachella.
You have to move. - First K-Pop group ever to headline Coachella. - And they were the first to enter Coachella. - Yeah. - 'Cause, I think it was... - A couple years ago. - 2019?
- (React) Insane power. - It's like the bad [censored] Powerpuff Girls. - Except there's four. - Yeah, except there's four. (Izzy laughs) - Perfect for TikTok, right? - Exactly.
- It's like... (gunfire echoes) - It's just catchy. - (React) Ooh, I like the... (gunfire echoes) - (both) Lisa, Jennie, Rose, Jisoo. - I feel like BLACKPINK is like a gateway drug for people.
It like gets them into K-Pop. - (Anthony) Yes! - And then they're like, there's so much more. - When I first saw the music video, and I saw the tick tick clap, I screamed. - Singing, dancing, just being on stage in general has been like just something I fell in love with at a very young age, and of course, I fell in love with K-Pop in 2008, like being Korean, I'm like hey, that's something I can do. - (React) Yes! - Let's do it! - ♪ (singing in Korean) ♪ - ♪ Oh ♪ Oh wait, did that count? (buzzer) - ♪ (singing in Korean) ♪ - Oh, those suits are fire. - Fun fact, EXO got me into K-Pop.

(both laugh) - Yeah. - And I didn't wanna have to do it! - But I get it, 'cause now we're even. - Mm-hmm. - Now we're together. We have both felt the pain, we're stronger for it. - There we go. - I didn't dance. - But you sang, huh? - But it was Chen's riff, and then an oh, that I tried to hide. - You got lost.
- He's a main vocalist, I have to support every time he sings. - The butt move, where it's like all their butts. - The butt move, yeah. (laughs) - And they're all like. (Jaime screams) - Come here, it's a little bit of this.
- (React) Show us, show us. - Oh, okay. (screams) - (Martine) But it's in the butt.
- (React) Yeah, oh! - I don't have quite the, you know. - That's okay, some people lack bones, and some people have bones, it's okay. - I do have bones! We have our biases, we have our stans. - Oh, who's your favorite? - Kai.
- Kai? - Yeah. Those beautiful gorge lips. - Ah! - Luscious! - If you haven't already seen his Mmmh video. - Oh, of course I've seen it. (whispers) Many times. - Sickening. (laughs) - Bookmarked.
- Sickening. Favorited. (laughs) - Everything! - As a dancer, I also appreciate Kai. - Oh yeah, as a dancer, as well, that's what I meant.
Luscious dance moves. - Not the lips, the dance moves! - I meant the dance moves. That's exactly where my head was at too. - They are like icons for style. That guy's wearing a fully red suit. - I was a soprano, but as I get older, I'm losing my soprano range, and I'm falling more into alto, or like mezzo, and it's throwing me off completely, 'cause I'm like where did my high notes go? - Stop! - My girls! - But, uh...

ITZY! ♪ I wanna be me ♪ I mean come on.
- (React) I'm sorry, shoulders! - Shoulders! They're iconic! - (React) You guys. - It's the crown, it's ITZY, ITZY. (laughs) - The dancing has gotten so much more intense, and it's just because visually, it's so great to look at.
I don't know how else to explain it. But it's so impressive, too. - At first when they debuted with DALLA DALLA, I was like what is this? This is such a new form of K-Pop music, but just over time, I was like I really applaud this group for everything that they have done of like revamping the trend of a girl group. - And watching them dance in unison, that's pretty freakin' great, when they hit their V.
- Yeah! - And everybody's doing the same move at the same time, and you're like how are they doing that? - 'Cause I prefer to look at men dancing. - Right. (laughs) - I will just be honest. But I appreciate exactly what you said.
- Yeah. - About just like what they bring, and their performance. - Mm-hmm. - And I feel like each of them is such a strong dancer. - Yeah.
- I feel like when K-Pop started getting really popular in the U.S. again, it brought back that nostalgia of like oh, boy groups, girl groups, dancing, except this time, the dancing is like kind of speed, but you know. (laughs) - Did we even catch up? - (React) This is like the ending pose. - Yeah. - Mm-hmm. - Done.

No, but I'm okay with that. - No one else will ever be Felix. - That's so fair. - And we just have to live with it. - (React) But we can be inspired by Felix every day.

- I love Red Velvet. - It's always like two words stuck together. BLACKPINK, Red Velvet. - Oh, they're colors! - Stray Kids. - Some, like a lot of colors.
- A lot of colors! - Like very visual. Things that are very visual. - Red Velvet, along with EXO is under SM Entertainment, and each five of those girls. - A history lesson today.
- (React) I love it. - Like, their harmony's insane. - That one takes me back. - Is that... - To when I was a young lad. - It's like, is that good or bad? - Ooh, yeah, it takes me back.
Memory lane. - I don't always understand the stories. - That is so true. (laughs)
- They're not always linear. - Very true! - They're sometimes all over the place but like, it's a story. - And the whole storyline of this is that they kill the pizza man, in the music video. - Ah. - You got the story, that is exactly what they were doing. - We're clearly studying this.
- But Rose has like a history of hating men. - Honestly, if you're the top three girl group, you have no room for men, you have no time for men. - No, none of it. - Uh, Peek-A-Boo. - (React) Peek-A-Boo. - 10 out of 10.

- I am a first generation registered Carat! - Slay queen. - Girl, I got the light stick. - Period. - I got the pre-debut light stick. - Period. - The registered like, fan card. - Period! - (React) I think there's more of them than... - Yeah, that's not all of them. - 13!?
- There's a lot of them. There's a lot of them. - Do they just shuffle them around? - No clue. - I don't have a bias in Seventeen. - Oh, I do.
- Because they all come for my throat. Every single time there's a new song. - I wonder if you could guess my bias. - So who's giving grunge, is it like Mingyu? - That's what everyone thinks, but no, it's not. - Okay, is it like same vibes as Mingyu, or not at all? - I would say not. - Is it DK? - It's DK.
- And I don't blame her. - For the editor, not carrot like the food, carat, like diamond. - Yeah. - (React) Diamonds. We want diamonds on the screen.
- Having this voice doesn't really help right now, either. - Totally understandable. - But my fans are called A.I Troopers. - (React) (gasps) Yes! - Yeah. - (React) A.I Troopers! - Mm-hmm! - I'm impressed at the ability to isolate different parts of their body. - Mmm.
- The men, they're like standing here, and they've really got the hips going. You know what I mean? - (React) Yes. - It's like hard not to move your whole body when you do that. (snaps fingers) Werk! - Werk! (snaps fingers) - A bias may be the first person who catches your eye, it may be the person who sings your favorite part of the song. For me, when I started off with Red Velvet, it was Wendy, and then Joy spoke, and then Joy sang. - (gasps) She wrecked you.
- And then Joy rapped, and that is called bias wrecking. - I started doing this to support you, and then I realized that also counts as dancing. - Yep. - And I was like [censored] it.
Yeah! (both laugh) - (laughs) I'm just mad the whole time. - ♪ Too hot, too hot ♪ - The too hot almost lost it for me. - Once again, this microphone is very interesting.

- Just like lip reading, like mah-mah-mah. - It's the moment we all needed again. - (React) Show us again. - Yes! (laughs) - Sorry.
- And see, that's called teamwork. - Exactly! - If I don't like a group's music, I'm not gonna listen to it just to force myself, but Aespa did get a lot of credit for just like having a completely new visual, and highlighting that futuristic technological vibe to them. - ♪ La-la, la-la, la la ♪ - Oh, okay. I did not see them moving to a cowboy scene. (React laughs) Old west meets the moon, I guess, with the next portion. - Each of the girls are very talented.
Ningning is an amazing vocalist, and Karina most definitely can... - I love that you don't listen, but you know all, like, you know everything about them. - Yes, because my thing is... - You're open to learning. - They are the successors of Red Velvet. - Oh, Iconic! - You did not throw a PSY moment in here!

- Love him. - But he's like the icon in Korea. - Oh! - Did you guys see the iconic, when the elevators opened, and then Gangnam Style. - (React) And he's doing that, yes. - I didn't notice that. - His concerts in Korea are like what everybody wants to go, for like, tickets sell so fast in Korea. - I would like to go. - (React) I would go. - PSY if you are interested, we have two fans who would love to be a part of a journey.
- (speaks in Korean). - I second that. - HyunA and Dawn had just left. - Oh, may their relationship rest in paradise.
- Yes. They were like the Jay-Z and Beyonce. - Oh, they really were though. - Of like K-Pop couples.
- He's not like dancing the way that that K-Pop kids do, I guess. - (React) Izzy, who is your first introduction to K-Pop? - SHINee. - Hey! - Ring Ding Dong with their stupid little, not stupid, how dare I? (AleXa laughs) Their stunningly gorgeous amazing hair swoops. - Yes! - That had everybody in a [censored] chokehold.
- And PSY signed them both to his company, which was amazing, but they had recently just... - Was that P7, is that what's called? - (both) P Nation. - Yeah. - My favorite part of the music video though, is randomly when Taemin's just drinking milk. - Yeah, why why? - Chaeryeong! - This is a new one! - ♪ La, la-la, la-la ♪ (buzzer) - ♪ Hey, why so serious ♪ - ♪ (singing in Korean) ♪ - Beautiful. - Ooh, that transition.

She did it! - Slay. - Oh, my girlies, one second, how dare you? - When Pink Venom came out, a lot of people were like this is terrible.
- But like... - Compared to other songs. - Right. - But people were like saying it was good, and they were like well, it's because you're just so blindly devoted. - Yeah, but it's also like, it's music at the end of the day.
- It's fine, yeah. - You can dislike a song, and love a group. - And still like the group. - We overlap promotions, so I actually got to talk to them for a bit.
- Oh my God, cute, slay. - I love this song! - (React) This is a new release from ITZY. It came out one month ago, and it already has 96 million views.

- I'ma say this to you, AleXa, I hope this makes it in the edit. I have been watching you since Produce, and when I saw your cover of Peek-A-Boo, I was like that girl's gonna make it. And the way that you have improved, choreography-wise, vocals, that is a dancer. AleXa is a very talented performer, and I wish her nothing but the best. - God, this voice sounds horrible with everything I say, jeez. - No, it's not bad, it's giving sexy.
