Sometimes watching other people watch your favorite K-pop video is even more entertaining than watching the video itself. At least that’s what these reaction channels’ subscriber counts seem to suggest. Beyond just liking or disliking a song however, these channels bring a little more to the table, whether it’s a native Korean person’s perspective, a classically-trained musician’s opinion or pointing out something interesting about the production.
Check out these four K-pop reaction channels!
Danny Kim and David Kim (DKDKTV)
K-pop is becoming more popular internationally, and non-Korean fans might be curious about what the general Korean public thinks of wildly popular K-pop songs. Danny and David offer some perspective while harboring a few biases of their own.
Classical Musicians React (ReacttotheK)
K-pop-obsessed french horn major Umu introduces her classical musician friends to her favorite K-pop tracks and gets their opinions as music majors. Between freaking out over idols dancing on pianos to trying to figure out a certain high note’s pitch, ReacttotheK is a channel that shows how music brings together the most interesting array of characters.
Brendan and Staven (Skyline Reacts)
Music production duo Skyline is headed by friends Brendan and Staven, and their reaction channel takes a more technical look at the latest K-pop releases and points out some interesting things about the production of the songs.
Salv & Family (SALV AND FAMILY)
What makes Salv and his friends’ reactions to K-pop videos is their enthusiasm and, as aspiring musicians and performers themselves, it’s great to see stars respecting each other’s game.
