*I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THE OTHERS ARE BASICALLY FLUENT IN ENGLISH TOO DON'T WORRY!

Haneul really surprised me with her vocals this comeback. With past songs I kinda felt like she didn't stand out too much and was just a maknae and lead vocal, but now I'm fully convinced she is Belle Jr.

KISS OF LIFE is definitely my favorite new girl group alongside XG

"Nothing" is a song where I genuinely have to ask, "who hurt you?" LOL. I don't get the same feeling when I hear other groups cry about love, but Kiss of Life made me believe the words they were singing. I'd hate to be the guy who pissed them off. Great songs, great reaction. Thanks!

It's hanuel Era and we love to see it

This song is something Britney Spears would release, and the music video has some references too. They are VERY much the leaders of the 5th generation

this concept is so refreshing amidst everyone else following trends. not a single member lacking, these girls are truly in their own lane

I AGREE! I wish they had extended the entirety of the last chorus, or do that thing some songs do where they extend the second chorus, then have it the same in the last chorus but BIGGER and more dramatic especially since the concept was very much mythology themed, and the chords were SEXY AND DRAMATIC - a last epic chorus couldve ended it so nicely ANNNDD bc its so short??? WTF IS UP w these 5th gen groups and 2 minute songs

Don't forget Julie is also American-Korean along with Belle. Julie grew up in Hawaii and Belle grew up in Washington! All of the members are fluent enough in English that they can all keep a conversation going in English, so I don't think it's such a bad thing for this group specifically to release songs in English! They are promoting in Korea and internationally pretty much equally. They do a lot of interviews in English, like this one: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ebSih7t5ztORYac.html

Loving the direction their team is taking with them. They feel fresh compared to our current acts in kpop. Also, I believe the fact they’re seasoned in this industry due to previous experiences, and pretty much aware and on touch with their brand and art, makes them more believable.

The teaser didn’t disappoint for the final product. Choreo and charisma is super strong, the chorus needed a bigger sound at the end at least, but the whole package is well worth it and I think they help to set another standard for the smaller companies!

That is the word EFFORT. They really seem to care about the artistry here and bringing something different when compared to others in their generation

U have some of the most in depth analysis and it always articulates how i feel so well. Kudos.

belle's voice is so BEAUTIFUL

Thank you for your Kiss of Life reactions video. I loved both of their new songs. If you haven’t already, you should check out their Media Showcase live performance of “Nothing” as well. It was pretty awesome! 💕🎶💕

Okaaaaay pussycat dolls!!! I LOVED the production in both the mv and songs, the title track is simple but it works and they're still serving vocals and choreography while giving 00's pop music. Amen.

Midas touch is SOOOOO prime early 2000s production wise and even mv wise, and loveeeeee it felt like i was back in britney era

i’m OBSESSED with thid comeback!! so proud to have been a fan since debut KIOF NEVER MISS

I really like them! Just watched their live stages and they are so fun to watch. It feels like they are really enjoy performing.

In all the kpop reviewers u're very hard to please, so i got teary when all i can see and hear from you is 'wow' ❤ 😭

It's very Bratz coded and I love it

They really are staying true to their name! They're a breath of revival! Love them!

I enjoy this group so much more than I’ve ever expected. I haven’t been this excited about what the future holds for a group in a while. Wondering what the recording looks like for this.

we were all GAGGEDD!!!

Nothing is my personal favorite of theirs, and might even be my favorite song of 2024 so far. It’s been on REPEAT, can’t wait to see what else they have to offer but honestly their future looks so bright.

the way i was WAITING for this reaction from you!! glad you enjoyed it as much as i did. i’m so awed by KIOF and how each member really holds their weight in the group while still remaining cohesive with one another. slowly becoming one of my favorite 4th/5th gen groups. can really see them heading in the trajectory of gidle or mamamoo

​​KIOF are definitely the 5th gen leaders, leading the pack in terms of evolution for sure

You should check the chorography they freaking kill it. It's so sassy

So monster high coded I love it! I can hear this as the intro song for shows on pop girl or something

i love kiss of life's new album !! esp nothing. nothing is just giving like a sad love , soul type vibe with a heavenly honey kinda melody & im here for it. it's just , the rap im not really a fan of. like im vibing to the song (knowing damn well i have a boyfriend lmao) & then all of a sudden get hit w rap. it feels kinda random for the song lol , itll be good with just singing & julie has a nice soft husky voice that i love. but other then that , i love kiss of life & their new album

I’m soooo excited but scared at the same time😂😂😂

I've been waiting for this since the songs dropped lmao

the only qualm i have with midas touch is i feel like the rap verses are not needed. it does nothing except make it longer, and breaks up the flow of the song. maybe that's just me but the rest is amazing!!! mv sets are awesome, production and mixing is stellar, their vocals going AWFFFF, love their adlibs as always. and it's hanuel era fr

Am I the only one thinking its giving Cheetah girls. Like yooo I am here for it!!!

I love several girl groups and pop music in general, but sometimes it feels like the industry forces the audience to listen certain types of songs with a certain structure, and it can get tiring at times. That's why KIOF feels so refreshing, honoring their concept of giving a new lease of life to music. It's not necessary to have 10 producers and 20 lyricists to make a good song; all you need is talent, passion, and a team who really cares about making MUSIC and not just A PRODUCT and this is proof of that

0:53 This shot is very Britney Spears - Oops I Did It Again coded, love that. It fits w the 00s vibe of the song, I'm sure its no coincidence. Also 2:22 her singing "Baby, I'm so toxic" while riding the motorcycle is kind of a callback to Britney's Toxic mv. I see the inspo here, I see the vision. 🤌🏿 This is where the pop historian in me gets my kicks lol. Even the font here @ 2:47 is from Britney's Circus era/mv. W the english songs, sometimes it highlights the weaker points in a song. Hearing it in korean and w the delivery it changes the amount of sauce a song has sometimes. I would be *very* careful choosing which songs to do in English.

Midas Touch is so 2000s Britney, and I love them for that. It's different than what's trending in kpop right now too which is refreshing. ❤ and then Nothing. The lyrics? The production? The chill vibe? It's a great spring bside.

Thank you to reacting them❤

this was such a good comeback. i think why "nothing" was in english is as you say, because three of them are fluent in english. the only one that has a little trouble with the language is haneul. But the songs ate for sureeee

i’m a lot more appreciative of these songs now that i’m listening to them through/with you?? excellent ❤❤

First scene in the heart gave me i kissed a girl by katy perry then haneul gave me all the money in the world, natty gave britanny and.the overall vibe gave me pssy cant dolls. I just love it❤

ohhh let's go! i'm curious about your thoughts on these new releases

THEY GAGGED ME WITH THIS ONE. FROM THE SONGS, THE VOCALS, THE DANCE EVEN TO THE OUTFITS AND VIDEO EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING. Definitely one of the best combacks this year so far

I did not realize nothing was in full english until now wtf??

Im trying so hard to think of all the refrences... The Scene where they dance infront of the Midas Touch stage is def a refrence to Xtina's Moulin Rouge / Marmalade song... Julie's bed scene and the camera angle SCREAMS Katy Perry's 'I kissed a girl' mv... Natty's spider scene does vaguely remind me of Britney's Blackout album.. UGHHH i fucking love these girls

Im obsessed

i love KIOF! i think they bring a really y2k american sound? and it fits the members well! they don't even seem nugu lol. i also think the chorus could have done a bit more but it was a good song regardless!

i was GAGGED. obsessed with everything about this comeback

These girls are IT. I dont get how so many people still sleeping on them its... outrageous. Like it really doesn't get better than this ( especially in the RnB vibes, the only other ones doing RnB on THAT level is RV and XG and that says A LOT )

If Belle isnt mentioned in your conversations about best vocalists, y'all are LYING

Also as much as i like rapper julie.. she has such a sweet angelic voice we need to hear her sing more

When I heard Midas Touch, it reminded me Britney Spears in the best way possible. Kiss of Life defo feels like fresh air in the current kpop trend among 5th gen groups, and because they feel different trying to do their own thing, I am hooked to them more. I appreciate your reaction, I agree with you that in the chorus part they could defo give us more, but I still liked the song a lot! And yes, I most of the new groups do release all-english songs in their b-sides, like at least 1 or 2 songs defo will be full-english, and sometimes it's okay but I also would like to see more full-korean b-sides. But, since we don't get this much from 4th-5th gen groups, I just listen to Red Velvet b-sides ahaha and hope you'll do more reactions to RV and KIOF in the future!

Thanks for checking out KISS OF LIFE

They’re all fluent in English except for Haneul. I absolutely love KISS OF LIFE. They’re just absolutely amazing & refreshing.

Belle's vocals in nothing had me crying and levitating! 😫😫

Kiss of life is are grown women K-pop idols we’ve been waiting for.

Agreed I wish the chorus gave me more because everything else is an absolute slay

julie , belle and natty are fluent in english

Thought about you as soon as I heard the new single, haha. This was what you wanted after disliking the last one. Think they should stick around in this style for a few comebacks, just do evolutions of this to establish their sound

Excited for this one lol

I love all of it. I'm happy to see a group of talanted young women. To many "baby"groups nowadays for my taste.

yesss

I said the same thing about the double chorus! I think it would have padded out the runtime and given them more time to flex their vocals through adlibs

Respect to Kiss of Life for the content they're producing. I enjoyed Midas Touch but Nothing made it to my playlist pretty much instantly lol

KISS OF LIFE is an amazing group

For some reason I keep getting Brittney Spears inspo from this cb!!!

❤

KIOF as melhores da geração

Does anybody know the intro song??

i really hope KIOF does a live performance of Nothing, esp like this MTV unplugged version of End of the Road - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n8yFpqSGpsfMXY0.html
