The people she works with on a regular basis know (and, yes, that is an ENTIRE world-class company worth of very skilled people. As a boatload of professionals, they likely would not put up with bullshit from anybody for very long). She would not be FRIENDS with anybody at all if she was a huge liar about her personality type. There would be plenty of media frenzy around her if she actually was a jerk while off-camera. Besides, people she does not work with have caught her on camera while she was busy being a sweetheart, without her knowing she was on camera. Personally, I prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt. You are REALLY reaching with your damnable negativity. Maybe you could spend your time doing something more intelligent than insisting on making yourself look like a dumbass.

*REAL TIME REACTIONS* EDITING WAS PERFECTION, A CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE ✨️ I absolutely adored Seulgi's debut!! 28 Reasons (the track and the mini) showcased what she's capable of so well. I think solo's are super beneficial for this reason, because what idols are able to show with work totally catered to them versus for their group can be very different, and it's nice to see their personal styles shine. I think she showed exactly why she is always spoken of so highly!

honestly i think this song has some of the best production to come out of SM like it is CRISP

i loved all the seulgi memes for visual impact in the video! you can tell the editor knows their stuff ;) everyone had such great things to say about her vocals--if they want more i 100% recommend listening to dead man runnin (a b-side from her album), her vocals are off the charts in that song! if there's time i would love to see some vocalists' reactions to that track! but, let's be real the whole album is a masterpiece, soloist seulgi popped off

I don't know why, but i feel so proud of Seulgi when I watch your reactions. I learned a lot and she deserve so much! And i love the new editing too. The real time reaction was EXACLY what i felt when i watched the mv for the first timeee!

I think this reaction matched the hype of the song so much that it actually making me teary eyed 🥺 I love this song so much and i feel like i found my people

7:31 - 7:46 this is why I love watching your reactions. I didn't realize that it indeed feels like a bare room with empty space. I made my friends listen to it and they all told me it's kinda creepy, and I get them. I just don't know why. This space explanation makes so much sense

Umu really knows seulgi so well, i believe you're one of us right? And i knew it, you're a SEULMATE 💛

I honestly don't know anything about the technical stuff of music so it's kinda mindblowing to me when one of the musicians (Jason, I think) pointed out that the simple minor key changes may have something to do with the concept of good and evil LIKE WOAH, the detail is to that extent?? This just prove that it's so well made 😳

11:22 I love how you played Red Flavour as an examples of it going high, and then 28 reasons as low... Showing both of these are red velvet and they can in fact do it all!! Catch red velvet's new comeback titled "birthday" this 28th! :)

I watched a video where Taeyeon talked about singing in a warm vs. cool tone. Changed my perspective about singing entirely. I think that’s on display in the 2 audio clips as well in addition to a difference in pitch. Seulgi’s voice is “warmer” in Red Flavor and “cooler” in 28 Reasons

28 Reasons is crazy but the entire album is even more insane! dead man runnin' gagged me so bad and CROWN which is my favorite track from the mini gave me goosebumps!

Another meticulous breakdown in vocals, instrumentals and composition. Without even mentioning or comparing to Aaliyah !! I feel the production and arrangement of "28 Reasons" lifts so much from traits of Timbaland's production style. This is probably manifested by Yoo Young Jin as his arrangements/production/composition and vocal training has directed Seulgi and many SM acts through his love for r&b. Looking forward to "Nude" being up next. Also cannot wait to see your adventures in Korea... hope you get to meet up and interview with some exciting people/groups/idols/musicians/composers (a meetup with Sera Ryu would be astounding, *wink*😉). Appreciate how you've given the heads up to what youre doing and not like other reactors who dry up for weeks and weeks with no thought to their subs.

MY ACE KANG SEULGI 💛

Seulgi's whole album has become an obsession of mine, one even the latest Dreamcatcher album didn't break me of. I love the production of this song, but "Crown," "Dead Man Running," and "Los Angeles" are also excellent. It's just one of those albums where the sound design and composition lend themselves perfectly to the quality and tone of the singer's voice. Seulgi has this sultry warmth to her voice which lends itself so well to the darker production choices in this album. Like, Wendy is one of my favorite singers of all time, but I don't think she could have made the songs on this album sound as good. Also, the dubstep head in me just can't get over the bass in "28 reasons" or "Crown." It's got this lovely rasp to it, like it's so powerful it's causing feedback, or electromagnetic interference. Couple that with some very interesting vocal choices/switchups and a lot of great little bits of sound sprinkled in, and you are left with a perfect example of why Kpop is awesome. Truly one of the best Albums of the year, maybe of all time!

Yes! and NXDE is next? Love you guys. "28 reasons" is everything - as your reactors mentioned, I love the way the production uses space. And Seulgi's voice is one of the few that could command the center in the bare spots as well as the fuller ones. It was the perfect song for her debut: showcasing the versatility of her vocals and the varieties of her personas. It was very much her song - and not many artists in the genre are capable of delivering the nuanced, moody aesthetic this piece evokes. It was rewarding to see the different ways all of you described how the song evoked the range of mood and meaning within it.

3:37 here Kevin is right. The whistle starts at the beginning of the chorus instead of being in the second half like the first chorus did 😊
