00:00Hello, this is E-Soup, aka Specific Soup, and right now I'm reacting to the new X-Love song,
00:07which is called One and Only. It came out 13 days ago, but yeah, that's new to me.
00:15I wasn't exactly right on time, but since I saw that it was coming out, I've been meaning to
00:19react to this. I heard their debut, I'm a B, it's incredible, and I loved the whole concept
00:26of, like, a genderless K-pop group, and I've seen still images from this video, and all of their
00:33outfits are gorgeous. They're gorgeous, of course. Without further ado, I'm gonna get right into it.
00:45All white. Oh, cute!
00:56Okay, so they're not translating the Korean in the subs. That's- I know there's a lot of English
01:09in this, but that is so sneaky of them. How dare they? Wait, okay, yeah. Okay. Oh, well, at least
01:18I'll keep the subs for the English parts. Let me back up. I- like I said, I- I knew the- I saw some
01:25pictures. I knew the looks in this were stunning, but oh my god.
01:44Mmm.
01:52Oh my god.
01:53Y'all, um, YouTube UI has been having some issues recently. I only just realized that,
02:20Like, I was going into my playlist, and I have a playlist of stuff to make reactions to,
02:26and I have way too many playlists on YouTube.
02:29So I just started searching for it.
02:31And the little search bar UI was just sticking up in the video this whole time.
02:36I'm so sorry.
02:37I'm not going to go back and re-record that, though.
02:39What does that sign say?
02:53Alright, no, come back.
02:57It's your choice.
02:59Leave them behind.
03:00Get your freedom back.
03:09Do you, wait, so does that mean that if, um, he just took one of the roses?
03:17It says, leave them behind.
03:18Get your freedom back.
03:20So if you were to take one or not leave it behind, then you're not free anymore.
03:25But he chose to take the rose.
03:35Oh!
03:39Okay, I love the glasses.
04:09I don't know.
04:10Okay, so we kind of, like, fully transitioned into this different aesthetic for the video,
04:16um, instead of the all-white.
04:18One thing every K-pop video seems to do is, like, you'll think there's one sort of costume concept
04:24and, like, one main set, and then all of a sudden it's switching over to, like, another set
04:30and another, like, completely different costume concept.
04:32Like, they always like to just pack as much in the video as possible.
04:39Okay, now the rose is on fire.
04:47Oh.
04:49His ears are bleeding.
04:54Wait, were they?
04:55Am I crazy?
04:56The margarita line is a little cheesy.
05:03Yes, his ear is bleeding.
05:05Oh, I don't like-
05:06Oh, spike.
05:22Oh, okay.
05:24Oh, okay.
05:28Oh, I know.
05:31Dude, I remember.
05:31Oh, okay.
05:32Oh, okay.
05:38Oh, okay.
05:40And I think what you see
05:42Bombs in the way burning in your heart
05:44But I don't know
05:46No lies, I'm gonna give it to you straight
05:48Give me energy, energy
05:50Watch you see
05:52It doesn't even matter as long as we keep turning it up
06:02Ooh
06:06Ooh
06:10There has been, I've been noticing more and more
06:22Spanish and K-pop songs
06:24Um, and also definitely like
06:26Like a Latin music influence as well
06:28Like very strongly recently
06:30I feel like more than
06:32Before, unless I just
06:34Never realized that before
06:36But it seems like kind of a new
06:38A new thing
06:40Give me energy, energy
06:42What you say
06:44Bombs in the way
06:45Burning in your heart
06:46But I don't know
06:48No lies, I'm gonna give it to you straight
06:50Give me energy, energy
06:52What you say
06:53Bombs in the way
06:54It doesn't even matter as long as we keep turning it up
07:00So, I loved that
07:06That was a very catchy, vibey song
07:10Like I said, it's interesting how there seems to be
07:12More and more Spanish
07:14In K-pop songs these days
07:16I've just been noticing that
07:18I do always, I feel like I always cringe
07:20When they say finna
07:22In K-pop songs
07:24And I'm just
07:25That's not gonna change
07:26Um, I'm not gonna get used to it
07:28But the way I feel about this song
07:31Is actually kind of similar
07:33To the way I feel about their debut
07:36Which is
07:38In I'm a B
07:39When it first goes into the chorus
07:42I don't really like that one part
07:44There's something about it that just sounds like
07:46A little bit awkward and off to me
07:48And like it didn't quite
07:50Perfectly fit in the song
07:52But other than that
07:53I absolutely love the song
07:55It doesn't ruin it for me
07:56So likewise with this song
07:58There were a few little like parts
08:00Where I guess I felt like a lyric was cringy
08:03Like also the
08:04Something about a margarita
08:06I was just like, okay, whatever
08:07Like it was a little bit cringy
08:09In certain parts
08:10But my overall feeling about the song
08:12Is that I really enjoyed it
08:14And those parts didn't like ruin it
08:16Or bring it down for me
08:17So I liked that
08:18And I'm excited to see
08:20What else they're up to
08:22I think there might be like
08:24I know they have other songs out there
08:26Other than just I'm a B and this
08:28I know they do
08:29I just haven't looked very hard
08:30So please let me know
08:32Other stuff by them
08:34That you might like me to react to
08:36Because I would love to do that
08:38And please like, comment, and subscribe
08:41And until next time
08:43This is ESOOP signing out
