Okay, so a few months ago there was a poll (on theparadisediner community) and some discussion of reactors, which I missed because I was away for that weekend and only had my work laptop with me and I'm too paranoid to log into my YT account on that. Anyway, I said I might do a little reactor rec post later.
Reader, I lied. This is many things but 'little' is not one of those. The 'Part 1/2' possibly gave it away.
When I got into K-pop I very quickly got into reactors as well and now I follow several, with varying intensity. I don't have time for Twitch or live streams and have yet to invest in anyone's Patreon even though there are a couple I'm tempted with. Most of the reactors I've recced have all of those in addition to being around other social media if you, unlike me who is old and tired, are so inclined.
Please keep in mind that this is an Extremely Subjective list built entirely on personal preference. The key caveat here is that because I'm like 90% about boy groups, that means that this list of reactors is thin on those who are exclusively or mostly about girl groups. Perhaps someone else could do that list? That said, all reactors are multi-stans and react to several groups/solo artists, some only within K-pop, some more widely so you will probably find something that catches your interest.
Beyond that, my two criteria for following a reactor are a) do they seem genuine in their interest (i.e. not just jumping on a thing for clicks) and b) do I vibe with their style and personality. Whether or not they are commenting from an expertise pov in music, video production, dance, style etc or simply a fan, doesn't matter to me, I enjoy both. Fandom is a social experience for me, and I don't have an opportunity to watch this kind of content together, at the same time, with my fandom friends as often as I'd like, so watching things with reactors is the next best thing.
I have purposefully kept comments short which means they are also very superficial and for most I could've gone on to talk about Why I Like Them for several paragraphs with links to fave reactions etc but alas, we live in late stage capitalism and I have to, like work, which I know is rude but there we have it.
Shut up Kat and give us the list.
Yeah, alright, under the cut and in no particular order.

Part 2/2 tomorrow.
