when watching this episode of Kingdom I love how Eunkwang instantly took them under his wing and listened to feed back. we say Chan is always the proud dad but in this instance Eunkwang was like that too. He was proud of the team work they had and it shows

I loved the fact that ALL the groups supported each other - they've all been through the same battles and respect each other - I often wish fans would do the same !

I love that Eungkwang stepped back and gave room for the younger ones to shine and did amazing job arranging the song and supporting the boys. The balance and harmonies were so good. All three are such talented singers. It gets me everytime how proud and amazed skz are of Seungmin. That group is so full of love.

i still remember how this stage got all the votes from the live jury making mayfly vocal team win a perfect victory (all mayfly teams won but with less difference)

All 3 groups in Mayfly were down at least one member from their original lineup, so that song means a lot to the 3 who sang it.

This was the first time i listened to the original,, i cried, i really did. This industry lost so many souls to depression, understanding her plead to still live and count on her is just so powerful... i cant stop crying ..

Such a beautiful song all around. I'm glad you reacted to their cover and the original! As a Stay, seeing Seungmin sing his heart out so beautifully brought tears to my eyes. I remember Changbin told Seungmin in a Two Kids Room episode that he didn't cry because of the song itself, he cried because watching Seungmin sing was so touching

I really appreciate that you took your time to really understand this song and the powerful message that all the artists are sharing through it. Thank you

I don't see how they sing songs like this without breaking down. I can't even listen to songs like this without crying. Sheesh!

This is one of the most beautiful performances I have EVER seen. I love it so much. Every time I watch it, I feel emotional. It IS an IU song, and it's apparently quite difficult. But Eunkwang is an ICON. He is seriously one of the greatest singers active today, and he's so good, he's a master of his craft. Yes, he arranged the song to best showcase his younger counterparts, and then deliberately held himself in check for this performance and supported them with his own skill (with a couple of moments where he really allows his own voice and skill to shine, which are absolutely spectacular). I LOVE how proud everyone is of these three! Ateez and Stray Kids are just bursting with it over Jongho and Seungmin. I swear, Han looks like he's about to burst into tears, he's so overcome hearing Seungmin's vocals. I absolutely love it. And you can see the other groups loving it, too. BtoB is so supportive, but out of all of them, THEY KNOW what to expect going in. Eunkwang is their lead vocalist, after all. But the other groups just looked amazed. When one of them says "for me, this is the legendary stage", they're not wrong. You can see they all feel that way. It's just an absolutely iconic performance.

Between the idols that were no longer with us, and the fact that this is from the Kingdom that Hyunjin was missing... and Mingi, (for different but equally heartbreaking reasons), the boys doing this song was... 🥺❤

IU singing it and all I can think of is MOONBIN💔

There’s a clip that shows them deciding on the song and how Eunkwang arranged it. ❤

In any singing competition, having BTOB in your group is like having google during exams. 😊 Eunkwang’s vocal arrangement and line distribution of the song is perfection… he made sure the hoobaes shine vocally since in their group songs might not showcase their ability fully.

ok..I'm crying now as Shinee's Jonghyun's face popped in my mind.

Love Poem is such a touching song by IU and I cried when I first heard this song when released since I knew what it was about even though IU didn’t say what it was about because if you know about IU, you can understand her songs. She wrote this song to help one of her best friend to comfort her when she was in very low state but she ended her life right before IU released the song and IU held back releasing the album and the concert to respect her friend and broke her heart😢

damn, IU made me cry again. 😢

I love all covers, which are amazing.. but nothing beats the original. IU’s music & lyrics pierces the heart and soul, & the way she sings makes me emotional.

It's my favourite performance of the kingdom competition and i'm so happy to see you reacting to it✨

Hearing IU sing makes me think of an extraordinary singer, whose voice is still considered one of the most beautiful in all of Korea and who left us too soon: Kim Jonghyun, a member of shinee...he had written a song for IU Gloomy clock ...tomorrow is his birthday

The combination of this devastating song and this HEAVENLY performance puts you in a storm of emotions - sad, proud, amazed, filled with love, worried, grieving.... I think this qualifies as a masterpiece.

Thank you for reacting to MAYFLY's Love Poem..this is one of the best performances on Kingdom. Jongho & Seungnim met up with Eunkwang at his office in Cube that time to talk about the song they're going to perform and to see the kind of harmony they're going to make. Eunkwang stayed up for some hours doing all the musical arrangement & line distribution..making sure that the two juniors would be able to showcase their singing abilities. That's why Stray Kids and Ateez felt so proud of their members coz it's so rare to see them doing those kinds of singing and harmonies. Yes, they are both good vocally..but these talents are not that shown with the kind of music their groups make. But with Eunkwang who is the main vocalist of a ballad/harmony group..it would be easy for him to make the right harmonies with their voices and assign them the right parts to sing and it sounded really good. All 3 from different groups..all 3 with different vocal texture but they sounded so good together,

THE BEST perf ever in kingdom, BTOB EUNKWANG rearrange the song and give parts to jonghoo and sungmin according to their range. ☺️☺️☺️ Please react to BTOB kingdom BACKDOOR perf and BLUEMOON. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

You referring to Seungmin as Puupy made my heart happy haha! Spoken like a true Stay. 😉

My multi heart was thrilled during Kingdom Legendary War❤

3 incredible vocalists - I loved the way Eunkwang let the others shine with his arrangement. Talent

Yay.... Check out Peak Time group cover of IU's 'My Sea'. Its another epic performance.

Thanks for reacting to the original. One of IUs masterpieces.

I’m sooooo glad you watched this stage! It’s my absolute favorite stage from Kingdom. Our baby bear, our little puppy, and our silver light. Beautiful. Perfect harmonies. The way Eunkwang supports Jongho and Seungmin. Encouraging them while on stage. It was pure perfection.

Roscoe I love watching your videos because you’re so empathetic and give a thought about the meaning of things.. seeing the groups being so proud of their members really hits different when you know how much they care about each other ♥️😭

The way Seungmin recomend to do this song makes me emotional because of the lyrics of the song and that Hyunjin's favorite singer is IU, it looks like that song was personal for him and makes it more emotional! Every member was proud of Seungmin that im sure even Hyunjin wasnt there he also felt proud of him! Best stage of kingdom everyone make their Best ❤

I really love this performance, one of my favorites from kingdom, I cried when I heard Seungmin's voice😭😭🤍🤍🤍✨

Jongho VOCAL KING!!

It make sense why the song hits you rite in the center of your core 🥺🥹👌💯👌❤️🎶

I get goosebumps no matter how many times I listen to this, amazing talent.

Ohhh yesss. They are really proud of the members. Stray kids in particular, they showered seungmin with praises, since they heard seungmin sings during the rehearsal. And bangchan… well, he always look at the members like they are really his own child. He is always, always, always, so proud of his kids. He basically lives with the assurance that all his kids are doing well. He can flips from being the cheeky, lovable leader, to a very serious - kinda scary person if anything happened to his kids. Eunkwang, i mean, there is no denial of how good he is. He is basically well respected in the kpop industry. And for ateez, sorry, i cant comment much about ateez as i dont know much about them. But I know they are really supportive of each other from watching kingdom. Btw, have you reacted to mayfly’s rap unit? If not, please do so! They are great as well. If possible I would suggest to watch the episode where they first meet to start planning and all, because i can see how wonderful the team work is, and how good them as a composer as well, u can see how they came out with the song and all.

damn not me sobbing through my lunch break. this song is so powerful and the boys paid an absolute tribute to that. so so beautiful

This song never fails to make me cry. And the emotion they put behind the cover makes me get goosebumps every time.

i get goosebumps every time I see this performance ...amazing

Oh this is my emotional support song with my favorite boy Choi JongHo. I listen to it everyday.

I’m so glad you finally watched that. And thank you for looking up the lyrics. I didn’t know the background to the song and it absolutely made it all more powerful.

I was waiting for the video reacting to this Kingdom performance for so long... That it was worth it! I really love this performance and it always gives me goosebumps when I hear it.

The true beautiful vocals in the spotlight.

Seungmin voice is so beautiful

"Love Poem" is an amazing song and many wonderful covers by major vocalists in S. Korea, including the fantastic one by the Mayfly team. Yet none, however vocally superb,will match IU singing it, for the simple reason that IU brings to her song. "authenticity". With her it is not about vocal techniques & harmonies, but the emotions of the song itself. You know she is singing her own lived experience sublimated as the song. What can better that?

Wow! Goosebumps, with both interpretations, beautiful song,👏🏼

Puppy 🥰 This was just such an amazing performance with all three feeding off of each other. Perfect harmony.

I cried so much watching this, all those emotions i felt trough kingdom seeing my idols struggle there and then singing this song, the reactions , the respect, the vocals, everything. I stan all of kingdom groups and i know how hard each one of them struggled and i just know they all felt grateful while listening to this as much as i am. And IU 's voice? I just bursted out crying even more.

This has me UGLY ugly crying. Just remembering all the losses we've been through in the respective fandoms and the losses I've been through in my personal life and loving this song but never knowing it was originally by IU and why she wrote it- I'm just so in my feelings right now omg

This man was never not clutching his invisible pearls during this whole performance. And honestly. Same.😂

i just wanna know how they feel after making the GREATEST collab of all time in the history of ever.

my favorite from all of kingdom. Really, really good.

I cry *every time* I watch this stage. The reactions of their group members, especially SKZ, always take me out. They're so proud and emotional, and that rightfully so! Ngl I never heard IU's version before, but reading what the chat said about why she wrote the song and seeing her sing it immediately opened the floodgates

Ok, never seen the lyrics. Takes the beauty of the performance to another level and meaning.

Never seen Roscoe so flabbergasted❤

This is epic. These three could make an entire album and it would be a hit!💜

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!

I love how they had very little time to practice and plan- and they come out like they’ve been singing together for years.

I didnt see anyone say this but this was the only performance that score 100% and it was worth it. I watched it live and cried like a bitch!

Please check out Seungkwan’s cover of Love Poem. He sang it with IU’s arrangement. His husky emotional vocals hit differently and punch you in your feels.

If you could check out "Bob Ross" (Han Donhgeun)​'s Downpour cover on King Of Masked Singer, I think you'd love it. The song it's originally singed by IOI, yet it was composed by Woozi and it's a reminder that things we're living just last a little like a downpour. It has a similar vibe to this one but that cover just hits different. Donggeun's voice was soooo full of emotion.

Watching this on Viki with the subtitles during the actual song I cried like a BABY 😭 THE LYRICS AND THEIR VOCAL TOGETHER

Yes, Yes - Eunkwang! What an amazing singer/performer/producer. All three did an amazing job. This was arranged by Eunkwang and he made sure to highlight each of the two junior singers. You should check out his songs on Immortal Songs 2 That Man and Fate with Kim Ki Tae are amazing. I also love Sohyang's version of Love Poem in addition to IU's original.

I would pay big money to just watch the SKZ guys' reaction to this from start to finish. Changbin and Han especially show and get so awed by amazing vocals. I love it so much. 🥰🥰

React to BtoB kingdom "Blue moon"...it's so funny and dramatic also

I would always tear up when I hear the guys sing this song because of how beautifully they sing. Once I found out about the why it was written, I flat out bawl every time I hear it.❤️

saw some in chat mentioning how Stray Kids and Ateez was missing some members but so was BTOB... Changsub was sick and Sungjae and Hyunsik was both serving . So they were mainly 3 during Kingdom when normally they are 6 (7 with Ilhoon that left about half a year before this). Kingdom was the thing that opened my eyes to BTOB and made me a Melody their talent, humor but most of all their attitude and how they were with their juniors is what made me fall for them, so sweet, supportive, humble and nice 💙

This sounds so beautiful. I had already heard Jungho’s amazing voice which made me start listening to Ateez, because of one of their performances where he was sitting. And after seeing this performance, I had to check out BTOB, especially once I saw someone say that the group was a fantastic vocal group. And I loved seeing Seungmin with his unique voice.

I think Seungmin really made it clear that although he doesn't have the power of Eunkwang and Jongho, he can really hit the tenor which always, always gets my goosebumps up. He deserves to be recognised as amongst the best kpop vocals.

This is my absolute favorite version of this song 😊❤❤

I absolutely love Seungmin's voice ❤

Seungmin's voice is heaven ❤

One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard!

What a powerful song.

I find it impossible to watch this without crying. It's just truly a legendary stage and it's so amazing to see artists supporting artists

Wow listening to IU sing with the lyrics makes this song a devotional and lamentation for her friends that passed, and a plea for her friends still there. Gut wrenching and beautiful.

I'm really glad you reacted to this. Now that you know the lyrics, if you see the Behind-the-Scene ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qrt9prqkstTYpn0.htmlsi=PL9T174tFtdwK3Bt ), I think you'll be even more impressed. This was the 1st time many had seen Jongho's and Suengmin's dynamic vocal abilities because of the type of music their groups sing. Suengmin said he gained more confidence as a solo singer from this experience. They both really like ballads but seldom get a chance to sing them. They both went on Lee Mujin's Service after this and I saved both of those episodes to my playlist because they are so good. I'm a Melody but I would say this is my favorite performance of all time at this point. It had everything, in my opinion.

Jongho ❤

This song always makes me cry bc I always think of jonghyun when I hear it. RIP beautiful soul we miss you so much! SHINee OT5 forever!

such an amazing performance, all 3 of them absolutely killed it and the original version by IU is so powerful

I remember seeing this for the first time. It was so profound it made me cry. I have to say it’s still one of my all time favorite performances and will always draw a tear.❣️💖🥰

This song rendition by those 3 literally gave me chills

BTOB Eunkwang made the song arrangement and divided the parts for the three of them. He also step down a bit for the two to shine. He's the best senior and mentor

Mayflyyyyyyy ❤❤❤ Who can fly? WE CAN FLY!

The song that make ppl cry 😭 love poem 🤌✨ IU's vocals are amazing 💅💜♾️

The reactions always make me so emotional. Changbin tearing up and Lee Know falling back in awe😢😢

Both versions make me tear up. So beautifully written and sung

That was me too! “Wow”

Love Poem is a very Korean song. It's beautiful and tragic and sad and hopeful and eternal and immediate, all at once. It's a lot. The live IU performance in the practice space makes me cry from the first note. If you understand Love Poem, that leads you closer to the Korean heart. They love their ballads.

Te rompe el corazon escucharla

This is my favourite thing to happen in K-pop. I get goosebumps every damn time I hear it. I'm sorry to IU but I think the guys actually sang it better. I'd give an important body part for them to get together and perform again 💚

This gives me chills every time I hear it. Voices are out of control

Damn I was waiting your reaction about this performance 🫂🫂❤️❤️❤️❤️

All of the groups were so amazed and supportive. They really respect each other. This was a magnificent cover. Love love. And as others have said we wish the fans were more like their idols. They know the struggles they have been through.

3 amazing vocalists. That's why they are called one of the best in the industry. I love our Main vocalist Seungmin and from every word he sing you can feel his emotion and skills.

Always makes me tear up.

Seungmins voice absolutely wrecks me every time.

Ya pensé que que Love Poem me llegaba al alma por las hermosas voces e interpretaciones de los chicos, ahora que conocí la letra no puedo dejar de llorar.🥺

I absolutely loved this performance by Seungmin, Jongho, and Eunkwang! It was so incredibly moving. It gave me goosebumps and made me cry! The meaning of the song as well is just ugh! So good! I recommend reacting to Mayfly dance performance as well! It is mind blowing! I love watching your videos!

This is one of the most beautiful vocal moments to ever grace my ears. It's just absolutely gloriously done. I remember staring at my screen GOBSMACKED when it happened. ETA: it's a powerful song. Just an amazing song and an amazing cover.
