What's your favourite first reaction to a K-pop song?

That particular morning, I got the urge to open YouTube first thing in the morning (abandoning my usual habit of drinking water even after discovering that I have developed a thumping headache). As fate will have it, the first video was of Billie's Ring x Ring, looking completely unassuming with its thumbnail.

Plugged my earphones in and the first few seconds of the video seemed to agree with the thumbnail. Then the blitz happened: blinding lights, sharp noises and aggressive vocals as a greeting, all in max volume.

It was a lovely hash of disorientation and bewilderment and I lived for it. My senses were definitely aroused and so did my headache that was guaranteed to become a pain in my arse now.

Anyways, Ring x Ring best 2021 K-pop debut

Oh my, what a vibe

Your reaction got me to finally listen to the song, lol.

My favorite reaction is when I expect a song to be inoffensively mediocre, so I put it on for background music, and it ends up being so good, I have to switch tabs to restart it and watch the whole MV.

Hope you liked it

And yes, I find that most of my favourite songs start of with that reaction, the immediate reaction is so good you just want to focus on that experience (and because you'll never experience it again )
