- (React) We're here! - We're here! - Yeah! - (React) Today, you are going to attempt not to sing or dance to the most iconic, incredible K-Pop songs ever! - Why would you do this to me? Try Not To? (sighs) - ♪ Bring the boys out ♪ - Boys out, I literally was just... ♪ Girls generation make you ♪ ♪ Feel the heat ♪ I was literally just singing that, wow. - I have the benefit of not speaking Korean. - Right, so I probably won't sing. - (React) AleXa, tell us a little bit about what happened to your voice? What's going on? - Yeah, okay, party. So I actually had a concert not too long ago at the local K-PLAY! FEST in Pomona.
Lots of screaming, lots of singing, lots of talking. It's been four days. (whimpers) - (React) Oh my gosh. I thought this was yesterday! - Oh! - No! - Oh no! - Okay, Nayeon.
- Ugh, don't do this to me! - Do you know the dance? (buzzer) - Eat up! - Don't do it! - Don't do the fingers! - Don't do it! - I almost said it too. - ♪ Pop, you want it ♪ (buzzer) ♪ Pop pop pop ♪ ♪ (singing in Korean) ♪ ♪ I wanna make it ♪ - ♪ Pop pop, pop you want it ♪ - ♪ Pop pop pop, uh uh ♪ - (React) Yes! - Right off the bat! - You started with such a hard one! - I don't even listen to pop, like, I don't even think I have it liked on Spotify, and that was difficult for me. (laughs) - I was like well, good thing I can't dance.
- I was like... - We may have lost that, but we won. Hmm. - Mm-hmm-hmm.
- And I stand by that. - I love her, she's from TWICE, and this is her solo song. - What I love about Nayeon's voice is that it's so like wide. - I agree. - Like, when she sings, it gets up there. - And she like, has very good stage presence. - Yes! - Like there's a bunch of people, and I'm just staring at her.
- Like, and very enjoyable. - I love that song. - 'Cause listen, I know K-Pop's popular all over the world, but me, being an idol living in Korea, I hear these songs all the time on the radio, so I'm walking down to get groceries, and I'm like... (both humming) - Also, I know, pop, pop, pop. - You know that you've made a great song when it is impossible not to move. - That song was just too hard not to.
I'll try from now on. Starting... - No. (both laugh) - Not my girl, Jennie! - ♪ We don't buy it ♪ ♪ We request it, uh ♪ ♪ A rockstar, a pop star ♪ ♪ But rowdier ♪ - Oh. (buzzer) Oh wait.

- Because I was more marveling at how beautiful she is. I was like okay, stay with that, and then the beat dropped, and I was like are you kidding me? - BLACKPINK was in your area. You have to move. - You have to move! - They are headlining Coachella.
You have to move. - First K-Pop group ever to headline Coachella. - And they were the first to enter Coachella. - Yeah. - 'Cause, I think it was... - A couple years ago. - 2019?

- It's like... (gunfire echoes) - It's just catchy. - (React) Ooh, I like the... (gunfire echoes) - (both) Lisa, Jennie, Rose, Jisoo. - I feel like BLACKPINK is like a gateway drug for people.
It like gets them into K-Pop. - (Anthony) Yes! - And then they're like, there's so much more. - When I first saw the music video, and I saw the tick tick clap, I screamed. - Singing, dancing, just being on stage in general has been like just something I fell in love with at a very young age, and of course, I fell in love with K-Pop in 2008, like being Korean, I'm like hey, that's something I can do. - (React) Yes! - Let's do it! - ♪ (singing in Korean) ♪ - ♪ Oh ♪ Oh wait, did that count?

We have both felt the pain, we're stronger for it. - There we go. - I didn't dance. - But you sang, huh? - But it was Chen's riff, and then an oh, that I tried to hide. - You got lost.
- He's a main vocalist, I have to support every time he sings. - The butt move, where it's like all their butts. - The butt move, yeah. (laughs) - And they're all like. (Jaime screams) - Come here, it's a little bit of this.
- (React) Show us, show us. - Oh, okay. (screams) - (Martine) But it's in the butt.
- (React) Yeah, oh! - I don't have quite the, you know. - That's okay, some people lack bones, and some people have bones, it's okay. - I do have bones! We have our biases, we have our stans. - Oh, who's your favorite? - Kai.
- Kai? - Yeah. Those beautiful gorge lips. - Ah! - Luscious! - If you haven't already seen his Mmmh video. - Oh, of course I've seen it. (whispers) Many times. - Sickening. (laughs) - Bookmarked.
- Sickening. Favorited. (laughs) - Everything! - As a dancer, I also appreciate Kai. - Oh yeah, as a dancer, as well, that's what I meant.
Luscious dance moves. - Not the lips, the dance moves! - I meant the dance moves. That's exactly where my head was at too. - They are like icons for style. That guy's wearing a fully red suit. - I was a soprano, but as I get older, I'm losing my soprano range, and I'm falling more into alto, or like mezzo, and it's throwing me off completely, 'cause I'm like where did my high notes go? - Stop! - My girls! - But, uh...

- (React) I'm sorry, shoulders! - Shoulders! They're iconic! - (React) You guys. - It's the crown, it's ITZY, ITZY. (laughs) - The dancing has gotten so much more intense, and it's just because visually, it's so great to look at.
I don't know how else to explain it. But it's so impressive, too. - At first when they debuted with DALLA DALLA, I was like what is this? This is such a new form of K-Pop music, but just over time, I was like I really applaud this group for everything that they have done of like revamping the trend of a girl group. - And watching them dance in unison, that's pretty freakin' great, when they hit their V.
- Yeah! - And everybody's doing the same move at the same time, and you're like how are they doing that? - 'Cause I prefer to look at men dancing. - Right. (laughs) - I will just be honest. But I appreciate exactly what you said.
- Yeah. - About just like what they bring, and their performance. - Mm-hmm. - And I feel like each of them is such a strong dancer. - Yeah.
- I feel like when K-Pop started getting really popular in the U.S. again, it brought back that nostalgia of like oh, boy groups, girl groups, dancing, except this time, the dancing is like kind of speed, but you know. (laughs) - Did we even catch up? - (React) This is like the ending pose. - Yeah. - Mm-hmm. - Done.

(snaps fingers) Werk! - Werk! (snaps fingers) - A bias may be the first person who catches your eye, it may be the person who sings your favorite part of the song. For me, when I started off with Red Velvet, it was Wendy, and then Joy spoke, and then Joy sang. - (gasps) She wrecked you.
- And then Joy rapped, and that is called bias wrecking. - I started doing this to support you, and then I realized that also counts as dancing. - Yep. - And I was like [censored] it.
