SUP Y’ALL. So, this is going to be long, but I’d like to address something that deals with why this video was put on private for awhile until now. As I was filming, editing, and uploading this reaction, it was before I was aware of the issue between Ateez, one of my top favorite groups, and NMIXX’s content. I as an artist from a graphic design, photography, and dance background am one to not deny where one’s work is inspired and/or copied from other one’s work, so I completely understand why Atinys are upset with Ateez’s creativity and storyline being profited by and praised towards another group and Ateez deserves to be recognized and respected for their hard work and passion. There are other similarities from several other idol groups as well, but I am mainly speak about Ateez since several recent comments via KZfaq and Twitter/Instagram were basically demoting me as an Atiny (calling me a “fake-tiny”) due to having a reaction for NMIXX’s O.O. First off, anyone who watches any of my videos know that no matter how “big” my channel gets, I still read every single comment due to 1) wanting to stay interacting with y’all and 2) wanting to monitor and make sure that any unwanted negativity is addressed and/or removed. So with that being said, ANY comment that speaks with obvious ill intention towards Ateez, Atinys, NMIXX, etc. will be removed. I have NO INTENTION here to make ANYONE look bad nor would I ever approve of toxic fan wars either, so please try to not let this issue determine negative feelings towards Ateez, NMIXX, or any other reaction channels. There’s a great place for toxic fan wars if anyone is looking for it right over here: www.twitter.com. I am just a reaction channel who enjoys discovering and sharing music, art, and dance UNPAID here on KZfaq. Of course, I am always open to conversation and hearing each other out, but I am not in agreement of fans having to prove their loyalty by how much merch one can buy or how much time they spend to attack other idols and idols’ fandoms and so forth. If you’re genuinely a fan, you’re genuinely a fan. No “receipts” are needed to prove loyalty. Those who watch my videos know that I am first and foremost a “STAYTINY” and that Stray Kids and Ateez are my top favorites. However, I really don’t think that having a reaction to NMIXX’s debut makes me any less of an Atiny. I agree about their work being copied and I feel for Ateez. I also feel for NMIXX as well. Regardless of this issue, the girls have potential and have worked hard to get to where they’re at. I, other reactors, Ateez, and NMIXX are not the ones who make the decision under JYPE and their creative team. Had I’d been on on their creative team and some of y’all came at me for the copied content, I would understand then. But I’m not. It’s not in my control. My instant reaction after being technically attacked for this reaction was to put the video on private because hey, I’m an INFP, my emotions act before logic can kick in and bring me back to a centered mental state. Plus, I already deal with lupus and preventing seizures on the DAILY, so I didn’t need anything to stress me out. However, I unfortunately did let it effect me, which caused me to have a minor flare-up, which led to the decision of putting this video on private. Now that some time has passed, and after having level-headed conversations with some great people via Twitter/Instagram, I’ve decided to put this video back on public. Will some fans still try to call me out by saying I’m a “fake-tiny”? Maybe, which I honestly feel two different ways about that; one is me feeling sad about a fandom of one of my top favorite groups choosing to unsubscribe and view me as a fake when I’ve been nothing but genuine in my reactions and journey with Ateez, and two is me questioning myself if I even want people who choose to view me as a “fake” for simply having a reaction because I run a reaction channel to even be here in my community in the first place, a community where I am 99.99999% of the time proud of my crew here for keeping it real and chill. It brings me back to many times where I was shamed or looked down on for reacting to certain groups who have had their names in scandals/rumors, and if I always aim towards wanting to make everyone happy, I’m basically choosing to infinitely fall and if I fall long enough, I will fall into an unhappy place, a place that I already work everyday to avoid because of my PTSD/anxiety from my health issues. I truly believe that those who are here with me for the right reasons will stick by because they know that I am literally just a reaction channel who’s here for a good time. Again, I do not agree with any artists copying other artists’ work, and I can only hope that this issue is addressed and credit is properly given to the artists where it’s due. Only time will tell with that. Also, again, please do NOT place any negativity towards Ateez, Atinys, NMIXX, other reaction channels, or anyone else here on my channel. They always say a video’s comment section says a lot about the channel, and I’m not about to let anyone, especially those who don’t know me at all, define what my channel is all about and who I am. Thank you for reading!

You're the only reactor that came with receipts. Almost everyone one put it in the aespa box. But you are true to your name name OG, and showed a 1st gen song I haven't even heard of. I'll check them out.

am i the only who doesnt get the hate about the song? i actually enjoyed it tho like the beat is insaneeeee especially the choreography for sure it’s going to be super hard as expected from JYP artists.

The only reaction that matters to me!!

Lily's part really addicting. The more you listen, the more you love the song

Wow, you're the only person that manage to pull out an example of someone doing it before. Bravo! Hats off to you. I didn't even know it exists.

Finally a safe space where fellow NMIXX and general K-pop fans are able to truly appreciate the song. All day I’ve been reading and seeing negative comments on KZfaq and Twitter and it has been disheartening and exhausting. Thank you Thina for your discussion!! And thank you to everyone in the comments section, it’s a breath of fresh air to finally see so many positive comments about the song and our girlies.

They say O.O is just the teaser and their 1st comeback will be their first official song. O.O is just the publicity stunt because in the lyrics they also said that it is just the trailer and the mix up of their lyrics/beats/etc. is to show their unique talents and genre.

I was confused at their song at first cause u know, the beat and the concept. But now I'm really starting to love it 🥰

This is why you’re an OG KPOP STAN

Actually if yall going to analyze the lyrics they basically say that this is just a teaser so calm down! JYPE did this on purpose...They literally leave an "O.O 😳" reaction on everyones face.

After they said “zero, zero” referencing the title of the song and some other lyrics. I really understood that this song was pretty much just a prelude. I don’t think this is the official debut single. It’s literally a teaser or trailer to what we can expect their sound and style to be going forward. I don’t think this switch up business will be a repeat issue. Hopefully.

They yelled "NMIXX" in the second verse cuz that's literally where they mix the baila funk to teen pop rock.

there should be a counter for how many times you said what.

You're actually so cool. in recent memory the aespa - dreams come true nostalgia and now this review have really shown you are the true OG. Brings something to the table no other reviewer really does and it's super fun and engaging learning about older gen as someone who got into kpop about 1.5 years ago. Thank you!

i absolutely loved this debut from the mv to the song and styling. it made me kinda sad that so many people hated it but i guess that's just how it is.

They debuted with two concepts...girl crush and cute concept 😍

Thank you for understanding and appreciating their work instead of hating them. You're indeed the best. 💯❤️

It's addictive. I played it a couple of times

I really loved the mv and song...and it's addictive..

The best reaction to this debut! Debut has to be exciting! Like a movie trailer, to get people interested. And This one is perfect in that aspect!

This song really is just a teaser for whats next and im personally excited

At first I wasn't the biggest fan of the rap portions of the song but nowadays I find myself regularly listening to O.O. Huge expectations for their next comeback 👀

i'm glad you shared some background on this because i feel like a lot of people are dismissing the song far too quickly without considering its potential and creativity

Great video Thina! 💛

They all killed it and love your reaction!!

realised i was a toxic human being when i watched the m/v for the first time and thought "people are going to hate this" and it made me love it more 🤣 also I can't wait for them to be on Studio Choom, the choreo looks amazing 😍

YOUR REACTION IS THE BEST 🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️

Loved the reactions as always ❤️

Loved your reaction, Thina! I appreciated the throwback to H.O.T, a group I know nothing about but were leading the way all those years ago! The girls are incredibly talented and I can’t wait to see more from them!

Thina, I appreciate you showing that H.O.T. clip showing how the beat switch-up has been in K-Pop since the first gen. I hope Throwback Thursdays will make an appearance again on your channel.

thank u thina for this reaction video 🥺

this reaction deserve more views. to teach others to look and appreciate this kind of art !!! ❤️😚

The JYP called this chaos style is "MIXX POP" as a new genre and kind of Teenage pop rock. So that's why the group name is N + "MIX" (x)

youre indeed the best when in comes to this stuffs 🤗

The best so far. ♥️♥️

Loving this MV Loving your reaction✌️

Now this is a legit reaction and review, no toxicity, thank you! Subscribing right now 💕

Can't wait to see your stayc run2you reaction!!

It's already growing in meeeee, i loveeeee this song so much.😭❤❤❤❤

I just love your reactions. More powerrrrr! 🤍

Been waiting for this. ☺️

waiting for your stayc comeback reaction 🙌🏻 !

THIS IS THE REACTION THAT I'VE BEEN WAITING🔥😍

And it's not just kpop a lot of other genres I listen to do this switch up thing and I love it keeps things exciting . Plus you're really BEAUTIFUL

The INVU poster at the back 😍 this era was amazing, truly a gift to SONEs ✌️😄 great video Thina

hell yah the transitions the visual the vocal the choreography damn 🔥 and the song for me its bop and catchy so powerful

Yooooo I'm floored how you got their concept on the first watch before it was even over!!! Act 1 2 3 is absolutely correct! I've yet to see any other reactor notice they're telling a story with their music. Which for all the story based groups these days I've never seen any actually sync the literal instrumental to the story on screen. You also noticed the dystopia/utopia thing. Man you're so observant!

Your reaction and the reference make more sense and background. But still, everyone would have their own cup of tea. PS. The Taeyeon INVU poster in the background looks so cool, I'm jealous

Thank you for the example of switch ups, and how long it's been in kpop! From my understanding, this switch up / "mix" genre is their whole thing (their name being NMIXX after all) and it really put into context for me that it's unusual but not unheard of. O.O isn't my favorite song, but I absolutely loved their B-side. And these girls are so so so talented, incredible singers and dancers; I'm really looking forward to seeing what else they make in the future!

Best reaction for the song ♥️

I was waiting for this reaction

Really waited for your reaction since you are the only kpop stan reactor that gives us detailed explanations about your insights. The song have grown to me now, the first time I heard it I was confused lol

looking forward to you reviewing STAYC's run2u!

u just proved that u are indeed an og. love this reaction the most

The only OG reactor that matters ✌

I love your reaction and at the same time I'm learning about different things about kpop. Not all kpop fan now knows about how the 1 gen groups music works so they should research on it first before judging a new release song. Thank you Thina!

The only reaction that does so with an open mind and true appreciation for something different and fresh!

Thanks for the reaction, when i watch it, i didn't get it but along the way i like it, so it was kinda sad how the people in the comments where talking very harshly about it even some reactors, this kinda gave me a peace of mind.

the real OG right here! thanks for the info as well, didnt know SM is already that experimental in the 90s, definitely ahead of their time.

Thank you for this reaction video. 😊

When you said watching a play That was exactly what I thought It took a couple listens to understand this song But it feels like pure story telling

nice reaction/review 👍🏻

you are no doubt cause you're OG KPOP STAN, thank you for great reaction!

Amazing reaction tina your the best

love ur reactions! never thought i'd see HOT in a reactor's video! new subscriber here!

Seriously, the song is growing on me. I'm loving ittttttttttttttttttttt

Super agree. Art is subjective, music is subjective. Listening and watching the music video are like sitting rollercoaster ride with mixing two different genres! I love it.

This reaction and the fifireacts one is my most favorite.. Thanks for dropping receipts my queen!! I just love the song so much that I can't defend it anymore ￣へ￣ so stressful in stantwt.

bruh it took me awhile coz this was a grower but omggg I loveeee O.O and also Tank esp when nmixx performs them live!! Gets me pumped up xD

I dont know why other reactions don't get this song like they confused, btw thank you for reacting thina ur da best! it really matters to me 💓

Your make-up is so flawless

I really love the middle part. That bubble gum pop like. At first the song itself didn't registered that fast but the second time I listened to it. It suddenly grows on me.

This youtube reaction and its comment section is a breathe of fresh air

oh this is why you're my fav youtuber

I agree with you when you said that it's very SM to mix-up genres in one song! I initially remembered SNSDs "I Got A Boy" when I first watched the video

thank you for your positive reaction about the girls theres alot of negative comments going around in twitter and youtube love your hair color btw best youtuber ❤

I loved your reaction haha

LOL🤣💙I loved this reaction so much. By far the best

The best reaction so far

Love your reaction video the most! T_T

i love your opinion and reaction to NMIXX we hope they been successful in the future ❤❤

it's actually amazingly crazy😭

Now I should stan you❤️❤️❤️ not as kpop Idol but a great reactor❤️❤️ I appreciate it❤️ I really like how react in other MV with a Dance practice, keep it up❤️

this is the only reaction video that I'm waiting for

At first, I was really confused like I thought I wasn't gonna like O.O. But now I've heard so many times and I'm jamming!!!

you're the only one who actually pointed out an example of what nmixx concept is going for with pop music!! kudos

I gotta recommend their studio choom video that just came out!!! This choreo is nuts and full of little hand details. I don't know how they remember it all!!!

i wish everyone could hear your opinion and your take on this song!!! so many people are hating on them :(((

This reaction video is my favorite ❤️

this reaction is perfect

That's a nice way to describe the song, it is like a play with different acts.

honestly when it comes to explanation and details, i would say thina is one of the best reactor i ever reacted

Looove you for this video, nmixx is so unjustly hated for their debut song just because it isn't everyone's cup of tea, I personally loved every single second of O.O but it was so hard to share that love because people kept jumping into conversations with hateful takes

Exactly!! I have heard a lot of songs that has switch up beat/part, especially I stan skz

Thank you for your reaction to nmixx

I'm pretty sure 0.0 is like a teaser for their music style in the future, also at first I was pretty thrown off by the lyrics but I realised that alot of the lyrics are actually korean onomatopoeia so the translation looks a little weird. The whole track is meant to make an impact ("bad attention is still attention" is something I think works with NMIXX debut) I'm also absolutely in love with the musical transition (+breakdown) between the middle section and the last. I didn't like it much at first but as I continue to listen (and digest the song) it's actually really interesting and cool. Maybe the whole song together I don't like as much, but there are certain parts to each section that I like alot. Looking forward to new releases!

This is the reason why even i felt bad for others reaction , still wait for thina's reaction and opinions because she's a "OG Kpop stan" which means hearing this kind of sound is not new to her. I'm getting sad when some of reactors bringing aespa to this concept. Can't wait for the studio choom and dance practice because I know these girls will be 🔥🔥

Felt the same. I think after all it’s the marketing strategy of a grower song, you keep coming back for it because you couldn’t process everything, listen thru every detail of it until you’ve become familiar and without realizing you love listening to it already.

Some of the scenes were from The Real,Turbulence,Don't Stop and Illusion MV Girls are hella talented Company should have given them Unique Concept
