YASSSS FINALLY NO MORE WAITING. Honestly this song is a complete anthem. For everyone. It sums up Pentagon's story but I also have seen some other artists commenting how this song inspires them, cause when you create art not everything will appeal to broad public and that can be frustrating when you try to live off as an artist. There's also people not taking you seriously. But Pentagon says "you know what, screw this, we will create things how we want it and make our own "crowns" in the industry".

17 minutes of hui appreciation. we love to see it.

Hui is honestly an ace. Its crazy how he literally excel at everything. And not just that, he experiment further just to reach a new high. Something that only a TRUE artist do.

why stop at one, lets go for all of them

I thought the discussion about the music video being too distracting to understand the music for some, vs being helpful to understand the music to others, was really interesting. It just goes to show how people process multiple senses at once differently. I personally really liked having the mv/choreo with the music because I thought it helped me understand the angst and seriousness of the song. I listened to it for the first time without the visuals, and to me it sounded a little stereotypical superhero, "we're gonna take over the world" way. I'd be interested to know how others saw it! (Also to answer Owen who said that Hui's expressions were really good in that one section before the climax, Hui is a musical theater actor so it makes sense!)

"He went to the stratosphere!" *Yes, Hui did.*

10:12 Hui’s voice is literally a bear. One moment it’s wraps around you like a bear hug and the next moment you are taken aback by its ferocity.

Hui’s angry voice at end always gives me goosebumps

this is not a song, this is our anthem

pentagon really deserves more!! basquiat is a masterpiece *chefs kiss*

Hui was suffering from a sore throat during that live performance. So that flawlessness could have actually been better.

Raffi: well that's not fair. I KNOW RIGHT HUI IS SO TALENTED ITS NOT FAIRR

The real winner of road to kingdom, argue with the wall

pentagon seriously deserves all the praise 😭 they are so talented and their voices are all so unique while fitting perfectly together! basquiat is unrivaled i swear it is so artistic

Basquiat will forever be my pride as a Universe. That song is on another level.

Kpop industry is missing something. Stop sleeping on Pentagon's talent. The fact that they are self-produced group made me so proud if them. They are multilingual and multitalented group. There's an actors, musical actors, producers, and lyricist. Yeah! Plus their musics are so inique and meaningful❤

There's a certain happiness that I feel seeing people be shocked at Hui's high note. Just sooo good. I'd like to image him and Jinho hitting it together when they get back.

this was such a *MASTERPIECE* from PENTAGON. I even thought they would win on the finale episode with this song, they even got a STANDING OVATION from the other boygroups in the competition. everyone in the studio was so amazed by the song and performance and you can obviously see the hosts reaction that they loved it too. sadly, the audience decides who wins in that show though they actually ranked 3rd place. correct me if i'm wrong. still their best song for me!

this song is indeed revolutionary

Everytime you guys react and talk about Pentagons music it just frustrates me even more how underappreciated they are for the amount of talent, passion and dedication they put in their music.

Pentagon is just that group that is well rounded in everything 😭

What makes Pentagon stand out from the rest is their musicality. They’re really special.

Yesssss this song still gives me chills, Pentagon did put the crown on their own heads in Road to Kingdom

Hui’s voice reaches the end of the Universe…and crashes into the hearts of listeners “like an asteroid”

i was so surprised to hear anyone lost focus of the song, after the rtk finale it was the only song i remembered clearly and stayed stuck in my head :o the performance really was seamless with it but i guess i'm used to approaching either from emotion mostly so i forget the separate intellectual brain requires extra focus ''xD i know i was trying to use that perspective while onf was on and all i got was ''hmm that was weird but good weird'' which baffles me considering to me that song makes way more intuitive sense than the oneus song and yet i forgot that one in seconds since the visuals were similarly absorbing i guess 0_0 it doesnt need to be said but it deserves to be affirmed at every given opportunity: hui is a genius.

Good to know I am not the only one who didnt remember other stages. Well, do you know that Mnet deleted the video of Basqiat with a lot of views, I think that is when the views stopped coming.

THIS SONG IS A TRUE GEM

The video reminded me again of how amazing the song is. Hui is so amazing tbh. He make that music. Dances so damn well and sing madly amazing. They are all so freaking amazing!!!!! They are criminally underrated.

Clearly Pentagon's members are the real winners of Road to Kingdom 😍🔥 that's clearly incredible. They are just wow ! I don't have any word to describe them

I love that guttural sound that Hui does

펜타곤 때문에 들어왔는데, 전문가분들 들으면서 바로 코드랑 박이랑리듬이랑 완전히 프로페셔널하게 말하는거 너무 멋지다ㅠㅠ 진짜 멋지다ㅠㅠ cool ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

Now this what we call EXPERT EVALUATION

MY HEART IS LITERALLY SOARING THROUGHOUT THIS VIDEO Basquiat is tHE FREAKING GOLD THAT RTK THREW It’s freaking crazy how underrated Basquait is and HOW BASQUIAT DIDN’T WIN RTK WTF????? HUI’S NOTE AND THE INTENSITY OF THE SONG AND CHOREO THANK YOU FOR REACTING AND APPRECIATING BASQUIAT

Pentagon has strong vocal line, strong rapper, they r song writers, composers, producers, actors. They r HILARIOUS n visuals too. I mean, they r full package that artists should have. But people r blind

I stan a lot of kpop groups and I pride myself to be a good judge of groups with great vocals and production so best believe I stan the best groups. But EVERYTIME, EVERYTIME Pentagon gets to be reacted here, I am one of the extremely proud fan because I am so excited for you to enjoy their masterpieces and comment from a professional standpoint. They deserve more recognition. Their songs are ART

I always get goosebumps whenever I hear this song because PENTAGON created an anthem!!

Yessss I’m so going to miss Hui for these 2 years! He has such a distinctive voice that just grabs you

The way they were all praising Hui... My heart 😭❤️

"Euphany of beautiful tension" is such a good way of putting it. I felt mysel beating my chest during the rap, holding my breath during the softer parts, feeling weirdly optimistic during the parts when it turns to major(?), then wanting to scream my heart out with Hui in the bridge and last chorus. UGHHH so good. Also wanted to give major props to Wooseok for the rap parts cos to me his rap verse after the chorus really kept the energy of the huge chorus while changing direction which felt so amazing to hear!

this is one of my all-time favourite songs ever. not just in kpop, not just by pentagon, but in the world. basquiat is a masterpiece and people seriously need to open their eyes and ears and listen to penatgon and appreciate hui's work. yes, the other members worked their asses off but hui absolutely carried this performance and song. and i'm literally yuto/kino biased. thank you reacttothek for this awesome reaction, I got emotional listening to you guys gush over hui's voice ngl

I won't be shocked if Juyoung will be a Universe. 😂

Thank you for this wonderful review and for appreciating Hui and Pentagon’s work in a way that is truly meaningful. I wish Nathan, Hui and Wooseok would get to see this and watch you guys. They need to realize that somewhere out there, yes, their messaged was delivered. Lastly, I just have to say, BASQUIAT is a MASTERPIECE that did not receive the attention that it deserved. Thank you again.

Pentagon is amazing. I really hope they do well. The members compose and write their own songs and create choreography, and the quality is surprisingly good every time.

Pentagon is such a underestimated group and I really don't know why because they are awsome, they write and produce their own stuff, and theyre also the funiest guys ever. There is nothing to deslike about them.

Well, u know pentagon is under what company

"I don't know if it's the synth or the voice." Yes it's Hui, and if you'll listen to WTH song by Shinwon and Hui, you'll think about this too. 😅 This song is a masterpiece, it's pure art. It is Pentagon's anthem.

The instruments in basquiat are really rich I never get tired of this.

Thank you for reacting and giving us more analytical scientific words to describe how amazing this song is! Hui is literally our core of everything,our treasure,thank you for recognized his effort 😢. Pentagon after all are beyond great performer. They mold the emotion of the song to their voice,to their moves and their facial expressions too. Please support them,i know that this world is unfair but no matter how deep diamond is buried once they found it you can resist their shining aura. They're originally talented

Omg THE LIVE VOCALS ARE INSANE!!

I felt so emotional watching this. I’ve been stanning pentagon for a while now and have felt so sad cause they have been so underrated for their music and creativity. Hearing and watching the expressions and thoughts of these individuals appreciating their hard work really makes me feel thankful. Thank you. As a Universe, I’m very happy to see them be more recognized. They are diamonds that are constantly being looked over upon.

I had butterflies in my stomachπ.π Thankyou for complimenting our Boys!! I know they deserve more recognition, All of their songs are such a BOP just 'some' people are sleeping on them *MUSIC HAS NO LANGUAGE!*

Why…im…physically incapable of understanding why they’re so underrated . Its honestly mind boggling…and like why is Hui not considered like one of the best vocalist in the kpop industry at least.

the views of this reaction to Basquiat is as CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED as the song itself :s more people need to watch this, watch the performance vid, listen to the song, and understand the lyrics. I have streamed this song so many times for RTK and the video afterwards and seriously a year down the road, this song still hits as good as ever as if I'm listening to it for the first time. it's a shame people don't know this enough. its a really big shame. this is the kind of song that needs to go for kpop revival.

Hui's live singing highnote exactly same with record. TT

Pentagon needs to release an instrumental album honestly

Im not an universe but damn.. even im proud with this song..

10:32 and the next few moments should be an entire ‘ K-pop moments that had us shook’ short

"I don't know… I heard it" I really like reactions where they enjoy it because I enjoy it together, like, there's something pleasing in seeing people dislike the songs you also dislike ("see, I'm not crazy, this really ain't working!") but seeing people enjoying music, any kind of music, when it feels sincere, it just brings me a shit ton of joy and can really lift me up. Just... Yeah, musical happiness.

Fun fact: Hui was sick when he sang this song live 👑 💙

I don't know if many people watch videos that are not about their favs and if there are non unis out there but honestly I hope everyone will watch it and realise how talented they are and what a genius hui is

Hui's high note vocals appreciated thank you so much

the fact that their other main vocal (Jinho) isn't here yet they perfectly slay those notes. STAN PENTAGON BTW JINHO IS CURRENTLY ENLIST

yesss the reaction to hui's vocals!!!

THANK YOU I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS REACTION Basquiat is my favourite Pentagon's song, everything is this song is just perfection. Also, thank you for looping Hui's high note lmao his voice is a gem.

I waited a year for this!!! Yas!!! Thank you so much for giving the composers the praise that they deserve for this song. It's very underrated, and I wish Pentagon did promote this. It's one of a kind!

Even though I don’t even Stan pentagon, I know they freaking good, the vocals in this group!!??!!! I love it when they get appreciated

Charlotte shouting at him: "It's fine not to know things!" Hahahaha, I felt that so hard, I need her to scream that me from time to time.

I was kinda hope they also gonna watch the live version tho bc it has english subtitle, I think it will help to convey the message esp on the bridge part where hui said it's the message he want to deliver the most ☺️ And about the choreo that can overpower their music, well I understand! Since people have different preferences, but personally, after only listening to the audio, watching the live version with choreo helped me to understand the intensity and the rage, frustrations, and seriousness that pentagon want to convey And lastly, thank you rttk for appreciating this masterpiece!!

The fact they performed this during Kingdom was a good middle finger to Mnet. Saying that they would perform how they would and never compromise just to win the show. In the end, they did not win but still stuck to who they were and that's inspirational. Also Hui sang those high notes LIVE, when he was sick. He could've used just the backtrack or sat it out but he still went through and you would've never known. His talent is something else. But unrelated, the intro is so long and I love that for them.

"How society put them down, betrayed or abused them" Cloud: society sucks Yes they are.. Road to kingdom did dirty to pentagon

this song never failed makes me goosebumps

I want to cry at Basquiat was one of the best releases in 2020 and people just dont know about the song 😩 thank u for giving it the attention and recognition it deserves.

I love how they react about every single thing in this performance. I just think that they are very objective on reacting music👏 if ptg watching this, they must be so proud of how great their song are

Hahah the "He does it live!" at 10:30 and how they react is such a perfect reaction to Hui. Same! Lol
