I usually don’t like the “I can’t live without you” type of songs either, but I think if you leave me is from the perspective of seventeen as the group about carats, not about two individuals in a romantic relationship. And realistically it’s true, seventeen as the group can only exist as long as carats are there. If there are no carats, there is no seventeen. They also mentioned how scared they were during the pandemic when they couldn’t meet carats and thought they’d leave. And since the boys like being seventeen so much and it’s everything to them (remember the inner shadow/I’m not svt anymore thing), it probably would really feel like the end of the world to them. It’s definitely a bit dramatic, but I get it ~

This whole album was INCREDIBLE. And yes i agree with what you said about this album not having any unit songs. Pretty much everyone was singing and rapping in this album and I'm absolutely here for it!

Vernon's vocals in this entire album had me deceased. He's wrecking me so hard🤧

Lmao noo not the “Brotherhood of the Traveling Mesh Shirt” 😭

Jun was my bias AND wrecker all wrapped up in one during the comeback stage performance! I just about passed out seeing him in that mesh shirt for the first time!

shadow is my favorite song on the album it honestly is title track worthy ! i hope they give us at least a performance of it with choreo once bc i feel like they could do a lot with the shadow concept

"He's THIC" I lost it 🤣🤣🤣 I can totally feel the attack on visuals even though I have watched them multiple times hahahaha Jun just actually want to remove the jacket lol What's great and incredible about SEVENTEEN is that all of their album from the beginning until now is always telling us a story, like every album is a chapter of a whole novel.. all of them are thought of of a great minds and it's really overwhelming how on every album, we became a part of it 🥰 additionally, they don't conform to what's the trend, they create their own, because this is their story.. and that's why each of their songs grows like old wine, each has their own flavor that anyone can love depending on their taste preference.. like they can perform old songs and it will still be a hit, which makes them a very diverse group who can do a lot of concepts ❤️

Among the members, I really saw Dino as the one who have improved the most, especially with the vocals. Dino (and SCoups recently) mentioned he’s also been writing and composing his own songs lately… which means we all have to watch out for when he’s finally releasing them 👀 he didnt confirm he would release them but we can dream. Also, ‘bout you is actually a successor of Adore U. The lyrics are connected to Adore U’s “noraehae u-hoo,” that’s why they’re doing Adore U’s point & noraehae choreo 😆

For me the story in this album is Darling the pretense of early seventeen Hot is a statement of the new era Don quixote woozi or svt in general declaring that they will do their music their own way even if other people would judge them on how it isnt from their taste in music March an anthem that they aim to conquer(exag😂🤣) an anthem they produce in declaring seventeen will be the best they can be Domino to balance the fire burning this song expresses feelings in the motion of domino of how falling in love feels like Shadow yeah its about the dark side wanting to hide it then realizingnit is also an important part of yourself Bout you a fun fan song this was produced 2-3 years ago and kind of related to Adore U If you leave me a fan song this is the sad version of a fan song Ash a definition of seventeen creating a new world for them 😁😁😁😁

I understand what you said about the lyrics for If You Leave Me. It may come across as somewhat negative for people who don't know that it is a song for Carats. The members have said that it was hard for them to perform during the pandemic since they gain energy from Carats cheering them in person. They would like Seventeen and Carats to always be together. It may sound cliche but you can see the passion, effort and sincerity in everything that they do and how they always want to be the best for Carats. I feel like that part of the lyrics is just a metaphor of the relationship between Seventeen and Carats - if not for love and support that they receive from Carats, they would not have renewed or they would cease to exist as a group. I really respect your opinion about the lyrics even if you still feel the same way after understanding the background of the song. I appreciate your honesty and I'm glad Carats are very understanding as well. Though there are a few toxic Carats, it's really a very small number specially when compared to toxic stans from other fandoms. Most of those who comment on Seventeen reactions are very respectful.

I loved the color duo of the HOT live stage but also them singling out Seungkwan with that amazing pink jacket. Minghao had his time with the mesh shirt 😂 He said (I believe on weverse) that the mesh shirt was not happening on a live stage. He was like ‘k, we are passing this to someone else’

i know for a fact that march sounds amazing in the car

oh my god exactly sir austin, the beatdrop on domino after dino say it.. I wanna see the performance !!!!

Dino is an outstanding vocalist in the group. Just like Taemin, he can handle singing and dancing without any problems. He got to shine more in this album because his vocals keeps improving so its quite reasonable that they utilize his vocals well.

Shadow is my favourite from the album, I know it would be since the medley came out. And I think the style is so recognisably Dino too, I don't even know how to explain it but having heard his other solo songs there's a sound that reminds me of them in Shadow. And the lyrics are so pretty it really makes me emotional especially the Oh I know you're a part of me too and how it's belted it's so powerful

i've been waiting for this. thank you so much sir austin! ❤️

Been waiting for this! 💙

Shadow always makes me emotional when I listen to it. Such a beautiful song. Playing with the imagination of a ballad version.

Ey, I've been waiting for this!

Cowboys are kinda seen like adventurers, roaming the Wild West on the back of their horses, living their life how they want to (blame it on Hollywood). So March is proclaiming their determination to continue going forward on their own path, "like a Cowboy".

Mingyus lines I’m domino single-handedly boosted my serotonin

Yaaayy i was waiting for u

about the adlibs - they sound different from the studio cause if you look closely, SK is doing them live in I think most of their stages!

How can you pay so much attention to every detail on their stage comeback....LOL, i just lost my mind immediatly..head empty just "HOT HOT HOT HOT". Thanks for your reaction austin!

Yaass svtt i love this so much 💖💖💖

If you leave me is a fan song though 😳😳 Also it was very interesting how you felt for that song cause I totally understand you 😳😳 although it wasnt how I viewed the spng but I totally get it and shocked me. Thank you for your reaction 😊😊😊 I like finding out how unique each person can perceive a song the diversity 🤣😂

I believe after resigning there must be more freedoms with line distribution. I read several places that as a whole this album has a 2% margin. Each song has roughly 7ish%. I don't know how they manage that with so many members. I'm so glad the China line and Dino are getting lines in this album. I hope it continues. Also just a side note, Dino now has 25 credited songs under his belt. 💕

It is 12am for me was about to go to sleep, but then I noticed you posted a vid and decided to watch it completely, this album is so good and I cannot wait for you thoughts. Also what's loosing an hour of sleep, exactly nothing. What is SVT and one of my fav KZfaqrs does to me Also what is with this comeback and all of the members looking and sounding so goooddddd.

Atleast you have an idea about Don Quixote, some reactors doesn't even know how to pronounce it properly and just have no clue what it is.

the moment i saw which hot stage you chose i was like well rip austin i guess:')) you have no idea how long it took me to recover from this jun and im not even jun biased:'((((((

I'm early sir austin!!!

"brotherhood of the travelling mesh shirt" 😭😂

thank you, i love the phrase "also, he's thick"

Svt reaction with shinee shirt on ♥️😍 my two ultimate fav react to their interaction someday

I have my seventeen prettiest songs playlist, for me the first song is "Same Dream Same Mind Same Night". "If you leave me" is on my top 3 rn 😭😭

I think for IF you leave me, they were talking about their other self, the part of them that is made by carats, I initially thought the same but after reading their thoughts in different interviews, it makes sense. Most members' biggest fears are not being able to perform or not being able to receive and give love and energy to their fans. And this song signifies that part of themselves will die f their favorite people were ever to leave them. PS: I'm sobbing typing this.

Oh I'd love to see some reactions of Bumzu's work! His work is sooooo good and would be intresting to see if you find some influence of him into svt's work!

svt album reaction !!! i finally finished work so this is a nice surprise ! my absolute fav song from this album is march

i watched different chanel color coded videos they seemed more accurate , here i noticed few mistakes lol hope you cheked others too or directly lives!! i really like the sound of this album, is very close to be my most favorite by them (my faves are HOT ASH shadow and don quixote) and the line distribuctin is very nice too

I lost it at the All the Things She Said part lol

Omg! I was literally thinking just now that it's been a few days since seventeenlyrics has posted all the songs, i wonder when Austin is gonna react to them 😁 Btw are you gonna be seeing them in Chicago?

I mean if you leave me is a fan song, not a long song or whatever, well if some people interpret it that way i guess it's up to them but them saying i can't live without you or whatever it was because they always day that they are where they are now because of carats and without carats, they don't know if they could live the same or whatever. So yeah. It's a fan song hehe

i Ran here

I can't listen to Seungkwan's Ash part the same way as before because of the explaination of the behind the scene lmao. He said he sang it like he was drunk it's so funny 😂😂😂

No skip album

Seungkwan deep tone in Ash is *chef’s kiss*

Well yes, I agree with you. I'm not as well a fan with that type of line. Maybe just an exaggeration but yes I do not want that lyrics as well. But that's fine if its how they feel.

37:42 This Coups part is written in the way that Korean aristocrat used in the past! SO ADORABLE🥰🥰

Please react to Teentop! Some songs you can react tooo - Clap, no more perfume, rocking, I'm sorry and ah-ah! Luv ya! 💜

Istg i think they only do unit songs bcoz of Caratland unit reverse stages😭😭also, iylm is a fan song n if we were to sing it together with svt in a concert, i will bawl my eyes out too bc i cant live without svt’s music…they are literally my life support. If they were to Dis-b word, it will be hard for me to move on to another grp bcoz svt is one of the reason that keeps me away from my depression… Also, another fan song that’s kinda of the same with back to back vocals is Us, Again (idk if u heard of it yet but it’s such an amazing song too!)

idk if sir austin is trying to be funny but when he just blankly stares at the camera after a SCENE i just lmao HAHAHAHA

Regarding the if you leave me lyrics, i might be wrong but i think it has something to do with korean language as well. I think those exaggerated expressions (not wanting to live) are used a lot even in everyday conversation. Also the hate word in i hate tomorrow without you is more like dont like or dislike, but if you want it to be more dramatic it can be interpreted as hate, yes

25:37 yesss lmaoo

Will you react to IU Svt palette episode? It was really fun! Thank you for reaction btw, I love your reactions ❤️

"I dont understand the cowboy reference" Don Quixote was a cowboy so..

Hmm maybe “like a cowboy” has something to do with like cowboys used to live on the free range or something. Like no one telling them where to go or what to do like a cowboy 🤷🏻‍♀️ idk just my take lol

I always think that face the sun is seventeen"s own exo obsession album like half of the songs are darkish hype song while the rest are funky and cute songs

Not Austin not liking the song made for CARATs by the leaders about their feelings during pandemic T.T It's okay Austin, we won't cancel you. Face The Sun does have a sorry of sorts created from the song order. SVT has said Face The Sun is the start of their second chapter and each album version is a story in and of itself. Also, Don Quixote, Shadow, and Ash were also considered for the title.

“oh so they’re all wearing clothes this time, thats good” “see? the8 isn’t even wearing his mesh shirt” Famous last words😂

Hii Sir What are you saying about checking IZONE girlies out? Like the group and the girls works after their disbanded.. 2 girls are in IVE 2 girls are in Le Sserafim 3(+1) soloists All of them have a really nice songs, I highly recommend

Please react to Dreamcatcher’s new album

Will you react to more A.C.E and WowKwan content please and thank you??

Have you heard about Wonu Taeyeon beef? It’s soo funny to me

1st

React to more 2ne1 please

hi can you reaction to crazy by wonho he is coming back in 13/6 thank you

plz react joshua cover

What you said about if u leave me lyrics is true but also i think it's just a symbolism of how much that someone means to you, just to show the extent of how much you love that person But yeah taken in it's literal meaning I agree with you

Hiw did you know Jeonghan can rap? lol Yes to Yoonzino 😎

i love Shadow , i want an MV for Shadow so bad.... it feels like it suits the continuation of Hot MV

I get what you're saying about the "I can't live without you" thing, it never sits quite right with me either. Not wanting to live without someone is not the same as not being able to, and one person leaving you should not be a reason for you to stop living. This whole album is incredible, I love all the songs. My favourites though, are Don Quixote and Shadow. Btw. Your "Oh, good, they're all wearing clothing" at the beginning of the HOT performance made me laugh, in a oh-honey-you-have-no-idea-what's-coming kind of way. 😂

I also cringed a lot to those kind of lyrics but idk why when it comes to SVT songs, i can let it passed. Maybe thats why they're my ULT because they manage to let me love a song eventho the lyrics is not my cup of tea.

Around a year or so ago, there was a K-pop line distribution analysis. SVT had the most even distribution but China line and Dino had slightly less lines in their previous releases. I wonder if they are trying to make up for it cause they do seem to have more lines now.

In IU's palette she mentioned that Domino is her favorite out of all the songs. Meanwhile, I'm still debating between Don Quixote, Shadow and If you leave me

Not the russian lesbians lmaooooo But as a russian i agree, they have similar vibe

Dino said that Don Quixote is his favorite track on this album)

Shadow is the best song.

If you leave me is a fan song written by the leader line thinking what if carats leaving them one day or not be with them anymore. they wrote it when they’re struggling during pandemic where they always perform with empty audience :(

Minyu, S.Coups and Dino's verse in Shadow 🔥🔥🔥

Face the Sun is the album of the year. The lyrics and the production are top tier ✨

fact: woozi said 'bout you' was done 2-3 years ago and woozi felt it suited the album well so they decided to include it. here's the link of the interview: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fZmllraFlravfp8.html&ab_channel=ZachSangShow

for the whole album, it's like a journey from start to finish. they talk about worries in darling, in hot it's like facing the sun carelessly, don quixote with the journey how like the protagonist faces society, in march as you mentioned it is an anthem like continuing the journey towards the sun. it continues in the middle like having the shadows and facing their fears and ending with the victory for ash. that's why it's really good to listen to the whole album like how they placed it in order because it really tells the story the artists want to convey. for me as well this is competing for my top SVT album

Loved the reaction and your honesty! Unrelated to the album but would you consider reacting to a seventeen and monsta x friendship compilation? I know you love both groups and they have a cute and close friendship for years.

This album its a grower for me especially ash and hot and dino surprise me the most this album

If you leave me is actually about carats

mIngyu and dino are now happily married

40:28 FACTS!

If you leave me is a song for carats.

This album, I got wrecked by all of them 😅 visuals and vocals!

I would agree with the "if you leave me" lyrical content if I didn't know it were about Carats and not romantic at all lol

their korea concert later this month has an online livestream so hopefully they perform these songs

I love your reaction sir yes you right for me I love their live performance more than MVs they’re so perfect and satisfied to watch

*IF You Leave Me* is a song dedicated for Carats that's why the Leader Line composed it. It was revealed that Hoshi got emotional while writing the lyrics to this song 🥹

The SM allegations are stronger than ever, bc there is rumors of a repackaged album going on 💀

If you leave me was written by the leaders thinking about Carats. I read on Twitter that Hoshi said in an interview that while recording this song, he needed a moment to cry. It’s been a long time since they performed in front of Carats because of the pandemic and that made them worry a lot. Thinking about the possibility of their fans leaving is such a heartbreaking thing that they poured these emotions in the song. Reading the lyrics, it made me think that behind the cheerful smiles and positivity that they are giving us are deep thoughts and worries of their fans leaving them. The fans who have been the very reason why they keep on going in the first place. That is why this song is special to me. It made me feel that they appreciate Carats from the bottom of their hearts and that it would be so painful to them if ever we leave. Anyway, I truly understand how you feel about the song. I just wanted to share the story behind the song and how I feel about it. Hope you have a good day! ❤️

This album is a ✨masterpiece✨ all the songs could've been title tracks, I just can't choose my fav because they're all so freaking good 😭 also the fact that if you leave me is for carats 🥺🥺🥺 Woozi said they wrote it during the pandemic while missing us, correct me if I'm wrong, but I read somewhere that Bout you was done like 3 years ago 😱 keeps me thinking that there's probs tons of finished songs that will se light in few years, I think Woozi said in a fancall that his fav vocal unit song isn't out yet 🥲 such a tease Will you check out IU's Pallete with SVT?? Can be on your own no need to record it, but the ep is soooo good, IU is such a cutie and the guys are such fanboys lmao, Woozi couldn't even look her in the face

i died when you said tatu, the russian lesbians 😭

Been waiting for this reaction. You're right about FTS being a no-skip album. Ash and If You Leave Me needs to grow on me also. My most favorite is Don Quixote. Love that song so much. By the way, hope that you can also react to Seungkwan's episode in Lee Mujin Service. He sang Darl+ing and did a cover for three songs. Here's the link if you haven't watched it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mLOHddF3yNeUo5c.html Thank you in advance, Sir Austin🧡🧡

If you leave me is actually a song dedicated to Carats❤️ So when they sing about being apart they meant the time when they couldn't meet us because of the pandemic. And the general message of the song is: don't leave my side, let's always be together (Seventeen and Carats). So similar message to Smile Flower for example. Edit: Also I understand how you feel about the lyrics. If the song was about a romantic relationship I would think the same, but because it's a fan song, it really shows how much these boys care about their fans. Of course they wouldn't die without us, but Seventeen as a group wouldn't exist. So yeah, If you leave me is one my favorite songs from the album and I agree that it's also one of the most beautiful songs by them.

brotherhood of the traveling mesh shirt STOP DHSJSJSJ also your soft roast of Hoshi’s feather vest hahaha. you are always so funny in your feral feelings for svt. cause same.
