IT IS HERE.
Kingdom Legendary War Episode 1.

No need to say anything here, but just to clarify, we're still testing the waters and seeing how things go. Let us know if online versions many of you have mentioned is similar in lengths and timings, because we would like to keep the video not shown as much as possible, even on patreon, apart from the performance videos from YT (our version has no Eng subtitle anyways).

Having said all that, here it is regardless,
and we really hope you'll have fun with us on this new journey :D!

Love <3

Oh yay!! Will watch this tonight 🫶

Georgianna

Viki app has it free with subtitles at the same time and you can download. BtoB had members in military service.

Alessandra

Oh, I cannot wait to see this when i'm done with work today!! Thank youuuuuuu

Reyna Aguirre

Yay! I love rewatching this with reactors! 😩

Georgianna

I get chills every time I watch BtoB. Beautiful

Mary Berry

I'm glad I waited to re-watch 🙂

I know a lot of other reactors had issues recording with Viki, but if I remember right, just need to disable hardware acceleration and it works. I also hope you use one with subtitles for us who don't know Korean. I watched the show several times with several reactors so I remember a lot of how it went. But if you make a comment about something they say, it's hard to remember what they were talking about to make sense of your commentary lol. But, I won't be too picky - as long as we get your reactions, whatever works for you two!

J

YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSS!! Thank you so much!!!! Hearing your commentary on this is going to be FASCINATING! I understand why you are watching the focused versions of the performances, but for me, watching the other groups react to the performances is the whole appeal of the show. Seeing them so astounded and impressed by each other is most of the fun, you can see them become fans of each other's work. Even on Youtube when going back, I watch the full performance with reactions more than the isolated performances themselves!

Jenni Heath

I am so excited to see your reaction to all of these performances! It makes me sad that this is the only episode with Hyunjin.

Kay Popped

Yes, definitely use the viki version if you can. I believe it's available there for free in its entirety, AND they subbed all the song lyrics, which is amazing for those who don't know the groups/lyrics, especially when we get to rounds with member-written rapping, etc. (If you run into viki problems, reach out and let's see if we can solve 'em?) Also, voting is stupid all the way through and they leave in all the suspense-building pre- and post-commercial recaps, which is annnnnoying. It's also just confusing how they reveal all the different voting processes/responses. Anyway, more comments when I've actually watched your reaction!

Selande

Unfortunately, you won't find most of Stray Kids performances from Kingdom (uncut versions - full performance, no commentary from the other idols) as someone hacked mnet's account awhile ago and deleted them all. 😥

Selande

And it was Felix live! I'm sure they also had a backing track, but all the performances throughout Kingdom were all live vocals.

Eva Minster

I'm so happy that you guys finally uploaded the video! I was really excited to see it. It is a pity that there weren't English subtitles, so I couldn't really follow what was being said and what you guys were referring to as a response to some of the things mentioned. I don't know if you guys plan to do English subtitles or not if it's possible. Maybe you guys should watch the reactions of other bands to ATEEZ's performances off camera (especially Wonderland) because sometimes the reactions are pretty priceless. It's nice seeing the chemistry between the bands and it's so weird seeing all these bands being so nervous. D'some, when you mentioned the importance of in-ears, it reminded me about the ATEEZ concert that happened in Brussels in February. At the end of one the songs, Hongjoong told Atiny that we were all so loud that he couldn't hear his in-ear at all during the song. He did really well regardless. I think a few members had that problem because sometimes, during songs, they'd pull one in-ear out during a song and sometimes put it back in.

We were actually talking about not switching back and forth for the next ones as it made it easier for us to comment in between AND because it's easier to edit ;)

Handsome Sausages
>>112690015

Good to know :D Yeh - we were trying to not show the clips at all but now that we are anyways -_- we should switch to Viki and try capturing the screen or something

SaarCookie

Super excited to watch this with you guys (it will be my third time in like 8 months..). Kingdom introduced me to many of my current favourite groups (I was already a fan of SKZ), like Ateez, BTOB, Ikon. SF9 and The Boyz definitely were great as well. I hope you enjoy watching this show as to me it was amazing to see the dynamics between groups with more or less experience, how good they all perform, how creative they get.. Kingdom has a special place in my heart so can't wait to dive into it again with you guys. Now.. Mouths closed and Eyes and Ears open..And most importantly.. enjoy the show ;) (little reference to the finale, fellow Kingdom lovers may enjoy). For reference: BTOB was missing Sungjae and Hyunsik because they were doing military service at the time. Ateez was missing Mingi, because he was on hiatus for mental health reasons and After the first episode SKZ was missing Hyunjin because he had to take a break from public stuff because of a controversy (keeping it vague so you can look into it if you want, no need to get any negativity in here <3).

Handsome Sausages
>>112692305

We were originally trying not to show the clips and let people play their own versions as a 'listen-along' type of thing but..now that we're showing it anyways, we might as well switch to the Eng subbed one! So that may come :) Also, fascinating info about the in-ears and Ateez concerts. It reallllly can be disruptive and so the fact that they managed to perform so well in this episode and in that concert you talk about, shows their level of skill :D

Tealeafer

Cannot wait to watch this after I put my kids to bed later! To answer a couple quick questions, though, other creators I’ve seen react to it on Patreon have videos of similar length, but they do use English subtitles, which really help us, since a lot of us are international fans. I think they got them through Viki? I’m not sure but there’s a way. And yes, this is so sadly the only episode with Hyunjin :( he made quite the impression in the one performance he was in, though. Kingdom Miroh is…dare I say it…Legendary

Pauline R

I was waiting for this one! It's always a pleasure to rewatch kingdom for the interactions between the groups and just the atmosphere. I never watch the results so I find this way of watching it (you guys' way) really enjoyable. I'm excited for you to see the rest of the performances and behind.

lillie450
>>112689522

I agree about the performances, I am sad that we don't see the other teams react as for me it really made me so happy to see them appreciate each others talent.

Eva Minster
>>112692305

They are absolutely incredible live. Their concert was the best concert I've seen live and it's mind blowing how they just kill it. What surprises me is how they have such good voice control, especially Jongho when he has to hit the high notes.

taeble

I'm sure others have mentioned this but BTOB had two members in military service during this time as well after this first episode, skz hyunjin went on a hiatus for "health reasons" I think they said. something to do with a scandal or something at the time. Ateez is also missing Mingi due to a hiatus as well and I think the other teams also had missing members but yeah I'm so glad to be able to see y'alls reaction to all the kingdom performances!!

Kiki Meowzilla
>>112689855

Yes, he went on hiatus shortly after this so he is not part of teh rest of Kingdom. Mingi from Ateez was also on hiatus during this time so he isn't here either.

Selande
>>112691825

I do not know why they did it. =( Just that like all of SKZ performances from Kingdom were deleted. Also some other artists had high view count videos deleted as well. I forgot which other groups were effected by it. Netizens were angry and repeatedly asked MNet to reupload the videos, but they haven't been.

Jenni Heath
>>112689855

Yeah, there was a bullying rumor about Hyunjin that was spread, and it cause him to go on a hiatus. We didn't know if he was coming back for a while.

Selande

I had this in a reply to another comment, but just in case: I know a lot of other reactors had issues recording with Viki, but if I remember right, just need to disable hardware acceleration and it works.

Selande
>>112691825

Yup. and Itzy had several high view videos deleted. And Everglow (I googled a bit hehe)

Kay Popped
>>112690015

I'm sure it doesn't make it any easier for you with the creation. Watching it this way (without subs) is definitely helping my Korean listening/learning, though! It's personally fun to see how many words I can catch now, even though I've seen Kingdom fully through with many different reactors, all of whom bring different things to the reaction table! For those watching for the first or maybe only second time, though, I suspect it's hard to know what's been said. I didn't remember they said the floor was slippery so much as that ATEEZ was underprepared to work with the cameras and were learning on the fly with this first episode. It was the first time they were doing single-take recording, and it showed somewhat, even though they put in a good performance! I'll talk about everything else in an excessively long post elsewhere. ;)

Emma

Very excited to see you get to the serious production clips they included in this, it's really cool to get a glimpse into how they come up with their stuff and be given a behind the scenes look at the creation. Can't wait for your takes on those too. Also, still sad we didn't get OT8 for either SKZ or Ateez.

Fionnuala

This was super fun love seeing your guys reactions and there's so much more to come. I actually really enjoy the performances with the other idol reactions cut in some of the most iconic kingdom moments come from them.

your name here
>>112691825

It was a crypto hacker - they had uploaded a few of their propaganda videos, but they were taken down before they streamed. The top 50 or so most viewed videos were deleted (SKZ and other artists having some of the highest views on MNET's channel at that time). I don't think YT or MNET were able to recover the videos. There are some fan channels that did their best to re-upload some of the content.

Tracey Okeby Lucan
>>112700115

Yeah me too. Especially love the cut ins during the exchange songs later on. Seeing how the OG group reacts to their song being done in another groups colour is really fun.

Fionnuala
>>112700115

Yes also when they mix things up and everyones mind is blown and all like wow I can't believe they did that it's super fun.

Sam w
>>112700115

I agree! Like definitely watch the version without the edits for the music and performance, but the other group reactions are so good! Also they’ll miss the iconic “Felix?!”

Kay Popped

[warning: long post] Regarding song selection, teams had to choose a track that had won a [M Countdown specifically] music show. When they show the winning clip for SF9's Good Guy, they're competing for their first ever win against ATEEZ with Answer. SF9 had a double crown with Good Guy. Answer didn't win on a music show (how!?). ATEEZ's only qualifying/winning song then, was Wave. Neither team has since won M Countdown. Huh. The Boyz have had one M Countdown win since Kingdom. Stray Kids has won on M Countdown NINE times total (3 double crowns after Kingdom), and had Miroh, Levanter, and Back Door as potentials. Miroh was a great choice for them. BTOB had only 2 songs to choose from; IKON had 5, but has had no wins on any show after 2018's Goodbye Road (이별길). ATEEZ has official behind-the-scenes episodes (for this show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QZRen--ut8) detailing their preparations in addition to what you see on the show. You may want to catch those after the fact just to see the work they put in. This episode they get to grips with the format, make on-the-fly changes, and work out the staging while they practice singing their parts live and dancing. Impressive as always. ATEEZ was also stupidly busy with schedules at the beginning of Kingdom. Members were filming a drama (see below), shooting the Fireworks video (and promoting WHILE readying for Kingdom performances), the Celebration video, several variety episodes, etc. I don't know how they managed to get any sleep! Now I can't wait for you to hear the original Wave! The change on Kingdom began their use of classical music woven in with the songs they perform. SF9 really are the idol actors. The one who sat out, Rowoon, has since been in some really high-production series, including Tomorrow (recommended, but heavy subject matter), and you know Chani's been in small roles for years. I know him from Under the Queen's Umbrella, (a 사극), True Beauty, and Sky Castle. ATEEZ members Yunho (as a second lead!), Jongho, Seonghwa, and San were coming off of filming 'Imitation' with SF9 members Hwi Young and Chani when Kingdom began. Those group members knew each other coming into the competition. As others have said, yes, that really was Felix's live voice. Most(ish) of Kingdom's audio is performed live. What I loved about the intro episode is the respect everyone showed for seniority. Seonghwa reminds Wooyoung when he's talking to Changbin that on the show SKZ are their seniors. BTOB really did do a good job lightening the mood for nervous juniors while being nervous themselves. Also, "Stretching Kids" was a moment you might have missed, but was one of my favorite lines in this episode besides "I'm fine, how are you?" I'm glad you tried to cut in the full-production versions of the performances this first time as a trial run. There's something to be said for the other idols' reactions, so I'm for just watching each episode as is. Thanks for skipping the voting! Also, in future episodes, you can skip the first few minutes at the beginning of the episode, because it also has "in this episode" types of content which is spoilerish (why!?). Rule of thumb: if you haven't seen it, it's a spoiler for the current. Random fact: TVXQ debuted when SKZ's maknae, I.N was about 3. Also, I know at least 2 men on the show are now parents. Just saying.

Kiki Meowzilla

Just wanted to mention, they didn't perform God's Menu because the rule was they had to perform a song they won a music award for, a #1 song. When this aired Stray Kids had three options Miroh, Levanter, and Back Door. When you get to Miroh in your full discography listen you will see just how different the original is, 3racha made major changes. Really enjoying this, and like others mentioned the performances with the reactions will probably be better because many of the uncut performances got deleted on YT, not just for SKZ but for other groups as well. If you really want to see them you can maybe put out a message on the YT community or Twitter some people had them downloaded and may be able to share them. Regardless look forward to your Kingdom journey. Also not sure if it was mentioned but SKZ and Ateez have behind-the-scenes videos for the Kingdom episodes on their YT channels if you want to see more about the production of the music, dance, and stages. They really are super interesting to see all the work they put into each stage.

Handsome Sausages
>>112694024

Yeh it was a whole mess of an approach, as we were originally intending not to show any clips and for you to have Viki open with our video but then, we showed it so next time, we'll try to figure it out :D

Nikole
>>112689522

Also in agreement. Even watching it alone, I was so happy that I'd watched the show as a whole prior to even knowing there were standalone "full version" videos out there, because I wouldn't have even known what I was missing... and some of those reactions are just golden. (And I know y'all are actually seeing the whole thing, but it's also nice to see reactions to those reactions, if that makes sense -- lol.)

Sam w

I love this! The only reason I’d waste time on the rankings is to see how the groups ranked each other, but even then they could only pick top 3, so some groups got robbed. The rest of the judging is wack. I’d definitely watch the combined mayfly performances both with and without the other groups reactions, though. Theyre so hilarious, but without you get the full incredible performances.

Kristin

Rewatching Kingdom with you guys was a good way to de-stress today! I’ve watched that SKZ Miroh remix stage more times than I can count. I love that 3RACHA went wild with their remixes for Kingdom (and all of the little details they put in). Changbin told us in a live that Chan was doing the arrangement in real time while they were practicing the choreography so all the knife sounds seemed as realistic as possible. The end result of them having “carved” their logo into the stage was very cool. I also loved how they matched the lyrics like Felix stepping up onto Seungmin and Chan when he says “over the mountain” and jumping over Han for “over the river.” The Han river thing especially was so clever to me.

김수미

I’m so happy you’re watching Kingdom just some background info the reason members are missing from BTOB is I believe some of them were still serving in the military. Second Ateez is missing Mingi because he was on hiatus I believe due to mental health issues. Third I believe this is the only episode that Hyunjin is featured in because this was around the time bullying accusations came out and he went on hiatus to reflect. U-know of TVXQ is only an MC for a few episodes because he was found breaking social distancing laws in an illegal escort bar (during covid) and had to also go on a hiatus to reflect as well as deal with the police investigation. There was also a gap between this episode and I believe the next episode due to this as well as accusations against CJ ENM of showing favoritism to certain groups based on the budget as they had increased the budget cap that was set for design and props and it seemed that only 3 teams were notified (you’ll see in the next round what I’m taking about) so M-Net had to do negotiations with the individual agencies The other issue with Kingdom is M-Net got a lot of hate in general over things that happened during Kingdom, there were accusations that Ateez were harassed on set among with switching schedules and filming last minute while they were also doing comeback promotions (Ateez barely slept during this time). At the time of airing I also heard rumors that M-Net had “forced” certain groups to participate by telling them they would not promote their comebacks if they didn’t join Kingdom one of the groups that a lot of people speculate is iKon (as you continue to watch you may see why). Then you have the issue with voting, the fan vote very much impacted the over all scoring as it became a popularity contest. Even though Stray Kids is my ult group I’m also an atiny and have been a long time ikonic and melody and while ikon and btob are super popular especially in Korea overseas they’re not as popular as they are older groups. This meant that the groups with a larger fan base could receive more votes overall impacting the actual score of the competition and not actually base it off each performance. Also earlier in the episode you mentioned B.I he had left the group in 2019 due to drug allegations 2 years before they performed on Kingdom. Many fans were mad that M-net blurred out B.I’s image during the clips of ikon used in Kingdom. Lastly something you may really enjoy checking out is that during kingdom Stray Kids shot some behind the scenes of each episode showing dance practices, studio time, etc for each performance they’re a lot of fun to watch and you get to see more into how they work as a team as well as how much work they put into what they do. Overall I have some issues with Kingdom but the groups are all amazing their performances are top tier and seeing how they interact with one another is a lot of fun.

>>112689522

Just do what's easier, we just like watching you react! And we'd love to see you react to the different groups reactions of the performances lol, that's the fun part! (And you can't say anything at all about the general attractiveness of Koreans. If you two think your looks are average, I'm afraid you just made the opposite point you were trying to make :D)

redvelvetnerd

Oh no, now I gotta join membership again to keep up 😫

♡ Bludreamgirl ♡

The Boyz are GOD tier performers when it comes to dance and I personally think they are severely underrated.

Handsome Sausages
>>112707824

Oh that's super cool about Ateez behind the scene stuff - and we saw a lot of people actually now suggesting we just react to the performances with the edits in (initially it was the other way around) and for us too, we found that it actually helps us react to things easier because we like sneaking in comments about what we just heard and we also do not like pausing, anddd reacting to the episode as is is way easier for us too in terms of editing and flow :D so we shall do that. Man TVXQ has been in our lives for long but we never realized this much time has passed it's crazy how fast time goes and how quickly we age with them :')

Handsome Sausages
>>112720536

Oh man is this when Yunho was found at that bar thing? And the whole CJ ENM thing? Actually, that makes sense- it's around then for sure. Now what we did NOT know is that thing about Ateez so that's a surprise :0. We suspected the voting would be popularity contest and that's why most of you didn't want us to invest time in that one - makes total sense how it wouldn't really work out the way it's supposed to. And yeh, blurring out person who is outed for what's considered any type of criminal act in Korea is very VERY normal and sometimes they'd even just edit the whole series or shows or whatnot to completely take out the person so we didn't really find that weird as we're very used to it. Lots of things happened during this time huh - it's never perfect, but hey, it's a great show and it's fun watching :)

김수미
>>112720536

Yea this was during that time. It wasn’t that surprising to me either but I remember seeing a lot of international fans going crazy about it. Also many fans wished they would’ve been able to see Mingi and Hyunjin participate on this show especially during one specific episode. Overall though Kingdom is a fantastic show and all the groups do such an amazing job I’ve watched this show probably 3 or 4 times already.

stela ♥

Oooh this is going to be so much fun! I hope you enjoy the show - I'm one of the few people who actually had very little issue with it lol. Before seeing other people's comments online I really just enjoyed how different and over the top the performances were and especially the groups interacting and hyping each other up. On that note, I'm happy to see you'll be reacting to the performances with all the reactions next time - to me it's half the fun :D

anushkakusum

yall as someone who speaks for all your intl fans, please use the versions with subtitles! the rest of us are so lost lol. i think viki rakuten has the best versions and the best quality, and even translate the lyrics into english! <3 But so happy yall finally did this! Cant wait for ep 2!

Handsome Sausages
>>112962465

Oh yeh we enjoyed it a lot and as expected, it gave us a lot of room to talk in the middle of the performances to dissect things a little bit! So def enjoyed having those reactions intact :D

Handsome Sausages
>>113095179

Yeh, as we mentioned before, we originally planned to not show the clips so it was one without the sub and all but - from ep2 you'll see the subs :D we did watch it on Viki!

Zesti

Just a little something I picked up on when I was getting to know all of the groups during Kingdom (as going into it when it first aired, I only really knew Stray Kids and Ateez). Most of the groups have either lost a member since their original debut, or was dealing with someone on hiatus, or both (except for SF9). BTOB had lost Ilhoon due to scandal, and Hyunsik and Sungjae were completing their military service, so they entered the program as 4 (and then even Changsub couldn't film some episodes of Kingdom due to illness). IKON had lost B.I to scandal, so they entered the program as 6. When The Boyz originally debuted they were a 12 member Boy Group, but lost a member due to injury. He left the group, and focused on acting while he healed, and has only come back as a solo singer within the last couple of years. In addition, Younghoon injures himself about midway through filming Kingdom, and he had to sit out some performances. Stray Kids was a 9 member group when they debuted but the 9th member left in 2019 due to personal reasons, and then of course between ep 1 and ep 2 Hyunjin was placed on hiatus. Ateez's Mingi was on hiatus for health reasons, so the only group that was competing as a whole unfractured group was SF9, but even they weren't complete the whole way through, as Rowoon hurt his back and couldn't compete in some of their performances. Even TVXQ had to deal with this, with U-Know going on "hiatus" as well. It was just interesting to me to see these similarities between the groups, it may have been an added layer of connection for all of them...

Michele Wang

HAHAHAHAHA! Han-C sees the back of Peniel's head...."Oh, that's BtoB!" 🤣

Michele Wang

I can't laugh about the age difference, either. I'm 6 months older than Eunkwang. hahahaha

Michele Wang

SF9 makes some really good music, but their performances are a bit too sexy for me......it's borderline bawdy. The members are super charming, and they have an excellent sense of humor, though.

Pushnitsya

Okay it's time to watch kingdom legendary war for like 10th time lmao. I love this show tho, it gave us such amazing performances and a lot of interactions between idols that we almost never see.

Kassie Delong

Omg! I just started watching y’all and I already love that you’re gonna skip the scoring because it’s honestly not even necessary. We’re here for a good time!

Ashley

Have I watched Kingdom all the way through multiple times? Yes. Am I going to watch it again because I love seeing my favorite reactors watch and hearing their thoughts on everything? Also yes. Looking forward to this journey with you guys :)

Pushnitsya

Oh hey I just thought, you never watched the behind stuff skz recorded, right? Idk if it could be fit into the schedule/ you'd want to, I personally love their behind the scene stuff. This is the first episode https://youtu.be/XuhtNou9fLo?si=wjGWAY5wRRUvPKnw there are 6 videos, 5 episodes (first video is episode 00)

S S

Not watching the whole thing through on the kingdom version programme, you miss the other groups’ reactions. Which just brings out the camaraderie in my opinion. But I understand you wanted to keep it pure. With just the YT vids.
