Umu: Before we jump into the reaction, I'm super hyped to announce that this reaction video is sponsored by Dalcomsoft and their app,

Superstar PLEDIS. Stephen: if you haven't heard of this app before, it's a rhythm app featuring over 40 songs from nine

K-pop artists from Pledis entertainment. This app is for people of all rhythmic skill levels, and we'd like to demonstrate our two skill levels...

Sorry, I didn't know that was gonna be a thing!

Stephen: There are three levels of difficulty you can play at. Umu will be demonstrating a bit of the easy level, and I'll play the hard level.

Umu: Okay, which one? Okay, I haven't done home yet. Let's do home.

Anyway, so what I like about this app is that it kind of

you to be on top of the beat, which is really good for classical musicians,  Stephen: Yeah. Umu: especially French horn players. Hi, I'm a French horn player.

Because our bells are facing the wrong way and

we always have to be a little bit early or on top of the beat in order for our sound to bounce off

the walls, and then make it to the audience.

Umu: And then yeah, you can win cards and like,

your levels go up, you get boosts. Yeah, yeah, once you collect star cards, they can enhance your bonus points.  Stephen: Yeah.

Umu: Okay, you ready?  Stephen: Yeah, let's do this. All right. Here we go. I'm gonna do the best...I might fail, but...

Umu: And I barely passed this version doing this technique.  Stephen: Yeah, see..ahh, I got almost there. So close! Almost.

Stephen: Superstar PLEDIS is free to download for both iOS and Android.

So if you want to try the app out we put the link to the app in the description.

Umu: With that being said, it is time to move on to the reaction portion of this video.

Now you're reacting to the boy group Seventeen, and their song called 'Getting Closer'. 'Getting Closer" is the digital single prologue for Seventeen's

2019 comeback album called 'You Made My Dawn'.

The member Joshua said in an interview with Billboard that the song describes how a person feels with the absence of love.

The members said that the song reflects the darkness of winter and the darkness before the dawn (as in the title of the new album).

The music is composed by Bumzu and the Seventeen members Woozi and Hoshi.

Umu: Dawn, like d-a-w-n. Before our dawn.

Isaac: Oh, gosh, what was that vacuum? Whooosh! Kevin: Oh, my gosh!

Charlotte: This is not what I expected from them!

Seiji: It's kind of quick to start the build up. Stephen: I like it. I could dig it.

James: That was cool! That was like acapella-y-ish.

Fiona: Oh, they're extra like, pew, pew, pew!

Lindsey: They're harmonizing, but it's like in the....

Fiona: Yeah. And it's not too much going on, it's very,

like the people who produced this really selected the sounds they wanted.

Elizabeth: That's like the chorus...see, in the verse they were focusing a lot on the auxiliary

instruments, and the more rhythmic aspects of the voice, and now in the chorus, it's a lot of like layered chords.

Kevin: Man, when you expect it to go crazy, it stays on one note,

but when you expected to stay on one note, it goes crazy.

Jarod: What was that? Collin: A lot of ground is being covered.

Jarod: This is tight. Everything's like, really, really good.

Elizabeth: Gotta get that triplet rap in.   James: Yep, have to. Elizabeth: It's not K-pop if there isn't a triplet rap.

Fiona: That's cool--call and response. I see you.

Peyton: I like how hard this bass hits, though.

Fiona: It just... everything's so subtle.

The intricacies. Oh, okay. Fiona: There's that clock ticking.

I've been waiting for you. Lindsey: Oh, yeah. Fiona: Yeah, finally.

Kevin: Yeah, you got that consonant-ish harmony. Isaac: All right.

Kevin: And then goes straight into... Isaac: Oh, that's gotta be so much louder.

Elizabeth: Yeah, I think it's always really striking when they just use strong bass and like,

rhythmic instruments, and then have the main harmonic function come from layering voices. James: Yeah, the voice motifs.

Elizabeth: Yeah. Well, and there's just there's so many members of this group that you have the ability to really create lush harmonies.

Kevin: Oh my God, that's a G. He just hit a G.

Fiona: The vocal range is very broad in this group. Lindsey: Up there.

Kevin: Ends on a fourth scale degree. (singing) Isaac: Why is it ending on four? Kevin: That is

one of the most suspenseful endings, and yet because it's a four it doesn't sound too...it's not like ending on a five chord,

where you're like, oh, man, I wish it resolved. You're like, yeah,

Charlotte: What?  Peyton: He looks all impressed. He's like, hmm, they like that one.

Charlotte: Like, where is Seventeen going?

Peyton: Yeah. I thought it was really good, just because they kind of kept it moving,

you know? I never felt like it was like, alright, I've heard this like eight times already,

you know what I mean?  Charlotte: I liked the break with just the electronics.  Peyton: Yeah, there was kind of like a

hip-hop/pop/techno thing, which I think those genres blend very well, if you do it right.

They had like a little splash of everything I like, so naturally I liked it.

Stephen: I'm a really big fan of a half time hip-hop trap beat.

It's really nice just cuz it makes the beat really, really wide. Like everything else going over it sounds twice as fast, so it's really nice to have

a really open drum set beat that anchors everything, which is really, really cool,

cuz then, like especially when that guy rapping came in, and he did that like,

digga-digga-digga, and then just like triplets, which is super, uh...

Seiji: Idiomatic. Stephen: Idiomatic for that kind of style. And it's really nice, cuz they have that going on juxtaposed over a really

Kevin: What did you... Isaac: I thought it was very nice.

Every time they have a motif, it just disappears to silence, so it's really nice.

And then it's very interesting how they coordinate the dance with that. It's like everything's very energetic and then all of a sudden they abruptly stop,

So there's a lot of tension whenever they play the motifs, or when they when they dance it out, or

when it's in complete silence. So having that dichotomy was very nice.

Kevin : Well, there's an interaction here between the choreography and the music; the music would you know, the drop usually signals the start of a new

section, so when the new section starts, very

often one of the members would do like a kick, and that's when everyone stands still for bit, even though the music had

just started, and I think that interaction, it's almost like a fugue between
