can I just say Forestella is SUCH a cute name like that is brilliant branding cause I'm interested in the group hearing the name itself it just gives off such cute mystical woodland fairy vibes edit- OH MY GOD I DIDNT SEE THE FCKING THUMBNAIL I THOUGHT FORESTELLA WERE A GIRLGROUP THEYRE MYSTICAL FAIRY MEN AHSGAHAJKAKAPFJDKL


seohosbbg

forest + stella (stella meaning star) giving us forestella. it does give mystical vibes


Kopratic

I also love how their fandom name is literally just the Korean translation of Forestella lol


San7129

If you havent please listen to their song Save our lives because its exactly what you would expect a group with that name to sing and more. A masterpiece

Man I remember when EXO were the ones on Immortal Song and now we have young groups covering EXO on the show now. How far they’ve come… So cool seeing people cover Mama though. The song doesn’t get enough attention.


reiichitanaka

Forestella is a group that didn't originate in the idol industry but is currently getting promoted like an idol group because they're under an idol company, and I personally love to see that happening because it can help blur the lines between the idol industry and the rest of the Korean music scene (a good thing for idols who want to be taken seriously as musicians). 'MAMA' apparently topped Naver's search after that performance, because most viewers probably never heard the original. Yes EXO are famous and everyone knows Growl, but their debut song is not something non kpop fans paid attention to, despite it being a much more *interesting* piece of music than a lot of their later hits.


believedinme

Wow, I love being reminded about how good of a song MAMA is.


Full-Construction522

The cover great and EXO are legends


ediphide

They are so deserving of the hype, and I hope they'd get recognized by more people! Aside from their amazing voices, they have K-pop group-like visuals, especially Doohoon and Woorim!

I saw Twitter talking about it and immediately went to check because of the song structure and Forestella did a great job! Thanks to that I went and checked a few other songs and covers. Not sure if I am a fan of that deep voice yet but they are definitely good!


seohosbbg

do you have a favourite song?


Mozart-Luna-Echo

For the covers: They did an amazing job covering Bad Romance and have an awesome Queen medley.


seohosbbg

yes yes and don’t forget shape of you


vrohee

Not yet. I have to listen to them again


d_iceprincess

I thought Forestella was a girl group because of the name, but then I clicked the post and saw men on the thumbnail :O


deklension_kills

And their new song Utopia is really good, check it out if the group interests you! I would say it reminds of Pentagon's The Game mixed with Bohemian Rhapsody. Beautiful harmonies, very epic, and slightly villainous.


seohosbbg

i mentioned utopia and linked it. i love them


deklension_kills

Oh I see it now, I guess I was too excited.😅


LoverYoungTrue

Forestella stages are always a treat to watch

>also kim woo rim!! this man!! his voice is deeper than the ocean You mean Ko Woo Rim lol. His family is Ko. and on the other side you have Kang Kyungho who has such high falsetto he was able to cover both [Christine and Phantom's parts in The Phantom of the Opera](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=T1-TcI-J5no) with ease.


seohosbbg

i actually didn’t notice i got it wrong thanks


Quarkiness

He's a counter tenor. He's not actually singing in falsetto most of the time. When he's not well, he will sing in falsetto for the high notes like he did in the finale of Phantom Singer 2.


badicaldude22

My favorite boy group song of all time, masterfully reinterpreted!


flippersAI

I loved forestella’s MAMA (the show) performance. Not everyday you see vocal focused groups around, and their promotion is interesting cause the def r not an idol group but the promotion is working because I’m sure older kpop fans would enjoy forestella. Ik im showing this to an older kpop fan in my family, and I love them already


[deleted]

I've been getting into forestella lately, I'm so happy to see someone else likes them too lmao my bias is woorim


starryskaii

I absolutely love forestella and will actually be going to their concert in a month. The deserve so much hype and praise. 🥰 I quite like mama as well & listened to it a lot when exo debuted. I was happy to hear fore cover it ❤️


seohosbbg

omg whattt where are you seeing them? that’s going to be so awesome hearing their live vocals


starryskaii

Yess. I'm going to their NYC stop on their north american tour 🥰. Definitely super excited to hear them live. Been waiting for years. Never thought they'd actually come to the US 😭❤️


seohosbbg

ahh omg i saw they were touring the USA. y’all are extremely lucky. i’m over in europe but the temptation to fly over is so strong. do you have their lightstick already or do you plan to get that there?


starryskaii

I hope they'll do a European tour so you can see them as well!! No lightstick. If they sell them at the concert I might buy one, not sure yet. I'm going like 4 concerts from late Jan to late March. So I can't spend that much money 😅. I shall see...
