I feel like that is applicable to every K-Pop group because after all, K-Pop is still categorized as actual genres of music. LOONA stands out amidst the pool of K-Pop group because they are more unique and different.
To answer ur question: Choerry (the purple hair girl aka my bias) is a vocalist, dancer, and rapper. Pretty much everyone in Loona can rap, sing, and dance.
Butterfly to me is still one of the best Kpop mvs, comebacks, etc. I love everything from the message, the hair, the clothes, the production, the song, the choreography, etc. it rlly brings tears to my eyes as a black Kpop Stan. Thank u for this reaction, we orbits rlly appreciate it🥰
@@kydeon8893 yeah I was just thinking abt this. It’s one of the best choreos in Kpop but u can’t tell from watching the mv. They probably had a lot of stuff they had to fit in for the storyline and it’s hard to fit in choreo too. For me tho, I’d probably be happier seeing diversity and ppl that look like me rather than choreo, but that’s just me. But, yes I totally agree with u :(
LOONA is so good that LEE SOO MAN the founder of SM entertainment liked them and became their producer after watching their cover of NCT's CHERRY BOMB 💀
So What was the first music video after Haseul went on hiatus, and she's been on hiatus since. The feathers at the end of So What represent her in the lore, as her representative animal is a white bird. It's theorized by some fans that the feathers represent an attempt by the girls to bring her back, but we haven't really figured out why she's gone afaik (lore-wise ofc, we know the actual reason for her hiatus). Thankfully Haseul has started posting updates for us again, and they're hinting at a full ot12 comeback soon, so we're very excited to see mama bird again with her kids :)
YASSS OMG LET'S GO!! Since you seem to have noticed Jinsoul, Choerry and Olivia the most I recommend reacting to their respective solos : - Jinsoul_Singing In The Rain -Choerry_Love Cherry Motion -Olivia Hye_Egoist
LOONA is called "Idarui Sonyeo" in Korean which literally means "girl of the month". It is a 12-membered girl group formed by Blockberry Creative. The group was introduced to the public by revealing each of the twelve members in a periodic fashion. Each member has their own debut songs and debuted as a whole after revealing all the members.
Loona have no official positions. They’re meant to be able to do everything, which makes sense, as each member debuted with their own solo and solo single album. There are also three subunits, each with a mini album and two with repackaged albums. While the members themselves have said they much prefer being known for dancing or singing, all of the members have rapped at some point. The girl with purple hair was Choerry. The girl who’s voice you liked in butterfly is Olivia Hye. And the girl who was going off with the vocals in So What was Jinsoul. Tbh you could roll a die to figure out who does adlibs among the 6 that almost always do them. 😂 From this point, I’d recommend Hi High, their debut song, and Favorite, their pre-release single that was released before Hi High. Those are their last OT12 MV’s. Hopefully a comeback happens soon, which will give us more.
each member has a solo song and MV that was released pre-debut, it was how each member was revealed as part of the group. the order goes: - Heejin, “Vivid” - Hyunjin, “Around You” - Haseul, “Let Me In” - Yeojin, “Kiss Later” - Vivi, “Everyday I Love You” - Kim Lip, “Eclipse” - JinSoul (the pretty blonde girl), “Singing In the Rain” - Choerry (the purple hair), “Love Cherry Motion” - Yves, “New” - Chuu, “Heart Attack” - GoWon, “One & Only” - Olivia Hye (said you liked her voice), “Egoist” there’s also subunits but the solo songs are a good start 😁
I actually like "Why Not" a lot cause I think that has some sort of SM touch to it. The production feels immaculate with the quirky vibes Edit : p/s : I know LSM are heavily involved in both songs. That's why i said I love it because of the SM touch lmao.
The purple hair name Choerry (she's top 5 dancers of loona, she can rap, she can sing too,her voice is so sweet) 3:51 short hair girl, Jo haseul is a Ex. Opera trainee, she can sang opera so effortlessly. 11:22 the one who hit the highnote is Jung Jinsoul *Blonde girl from Butterfly (her position is rapper but damn her vocal is SO POWERFUL, definitely Main vocal material) i do recommend to watch their predebut Solo and subunit to get know their Vocals
It's great to see you react to more LOONA! I was really intimidated by the number of members too, but when I tried to get into them a few months ago it was surprisingly easy to learn and fall in love with each of the girls. They're all amazing, and LOONA's discography is fantastic. Full of bops! I was waiting for your reaction to that So What bridge, I knew you'd love it haha. Definitely one of my favourite bridges in kpop. Those amazing vocals after the bridge were Jinsoul by the way, she does great adlibs like that on a lot of LOONA songs. It's one of the things that really made her my bias 😍 I'd highly recommend checking out each member's solo MV's next, there's a lot of variety in them but they're all really high quality songs. I think Olivia Hye's Egoist, Heejin's Vivid, and Chuu's Heart Attack would be great ones for you to start with.
Loona did a dance cover of cherry bomb by nct and it was so great that even SM (Lee Sooman) was impressed. Ever since then, he’s had a hand in making loona songs. I believe he had a hand in making Why Not and So what. The person killing the background vocals in so what was one of the most prominent rappers, Jinsoul. P.S. srry for all the info but I literally love Loona so much.
they don’t have official positions but this is what their company is using them like; vocal line: chuu (would be a main singer) haseul (opera singer) jinsoul yves kim lip heejin dance line: yves (would be a main dancer) heejin kim lip choerry olivia hye
Butterfly remains their best comeback to me, the choreo is the greatest I've ever seen, the diversity in the MV just makes me very happy as a black woman and I love the message of the song. I'd suggest watching the full choreo in your own time to see how great of a choreography it is. So What has the best bridge of 2020, that bridge is SICK, I can't get enough. Why Not is just so catchy, I love it.
in terms of positions i’m pretty sure there aren’t any set ones but there are definitely stronger soloists/rappers/dancers that you can pin down as u get more into their music i think that songs u might like would be kim lip’s solo (eclipse) it has an rnb vibe, the odd eye circle songs (one of the subunits), and if u like kinda hyper electro pop sounds u might like their debut (hi high) or love4eva (another subunit song). loona’s whole discography is great, there’s something for everyone because it’s so varied. the group has a really good underdog story as well, there’s one really good youtube video by mira (i think it’s called the inconstant moon?) that talks about their struggles pre/post debut. it’s really long but if u have time to watch it it’s super interesting if you’re into like getting the lore of the group there’s some videos out there explaining it, but i personally think that u can enjoy the music and the individual girls perfectly fine without it (especially considering how long winded some of those videos are). imo it is the least important part as there’s not a lot of continuity and lots of it is just fan speculation.
Thank you for your reaction! LOONA is really hard to learn. They have 12 Members. Every Member start with an solo. You should check them out. So you can see the talent from all members. Here are the solo's in the right order: Heejin - ViViD Hyunjin - Around You Haseul (the leader!) - Let Me In Yeojin (the maknae) - Kiss Later Vivi - Everyday I love you Kim Lip - Eclipse Jinsoul - Singing in the Rain Choerry - Love Cherry Motion Yves - New Chuu - Heart Attack Go Won - One and Only And the Last Member: Olivia Hye - Egoist Then they have 3 sub-units! The first sub unit: LOONA 1/3 with the songs Love&Live & Sonatine. In the sub-unit are 4 Members: Heejin, Hyunjin, Haseul and Vivi. Yeojin too, but she isn't in the related MVs, because of her school stuff. The second sub-unit: LOONA Odd Eye Circle with their songs Sweet Crazy Love & Girl Front. Here are this members: Kim Lip, Jinsoul and Choerry The third sub-unit: LOONA yyxy with their song love4eva (ft. Grimes). The Members in this sub-unit are: Yves, Chuu, GoWon and Olivia! ---------> Every sub-unit have their own mini album! Then... the Group songs. The right order is: favOriTe Hi High Butterfly 365 So What Why not All songs telling their story. But it's too complicated for me to wrote, because english isn't my native language. But you can find videos about their whole story and many theories. It's very interesting. You should also react to a guide of them! The girls are adorable. I hope this was helpful for you. Have a nice day! ♥
It’s funny how in every video u say that jinsoul is beautiful without realize that is the same person and YES SHE IS and she is the potential bias of fifi
The girl doing the background run at the end of so what is Jinsoul, she's the blonde girl in the butterfly mv that you found pretty :) (she's also a rapper, she's the one with long black hair with short bangs in the so what mv and she's the one in the telephone cabin in the why not mv)
to give a simple (as simple as it can get with them) introduction to loona: loona is a 12 member girl group under bbc entertainment. their korean name means girl of the moon/month, which connects to the fact that loona debuted all the girls as solos, then units, then the full group over 2 years nearly every month. this is why a lot of loona mvs if not all will have moon symbolism, and why loona is one of the few groups to not be introduced by age order but rather by debut. simply put, loona do not have positions, everyone is an all rounder, however they do have colors, animals, places and fruits allocated to them as part of their loonaverse aka the loona lore. a brief member breakdown: heejin: first member to debut in october 2016. pink, rabbit, paris, often seen as center or visual of the group, cf queen and born in 2000. hyunjin: debuted november 2016. yellow, cat, tokyo, another visual, our deadpan sassy queen. also born 2000. haseul: debuted december 2016. green, dove, iceland. she was training to be an opera singer before joining loona, unfortunately she’s been on hiatus since butterfly and thus wasn’t seen in so what and why not. leader of 1/3 and loona overall. born 1997. yeojin: january 2017. orange, frog, taiwan. she’s our youngest! the baby of the entire group, born in 2000. shes the cutest person ever. vivi: february 2017. pastel pink, deer, busan. she’s the only foreign member of the group, another visual queen as they all are. out of these first five, haseul hyunjin heejin and vivi form the subunit 1/3. yeojin wasn’t able to join promotions bcs she was barely 15 when they debuted and she was doing school first and foremost. their lore is centered around vivi being an android who’s learning how to be human from the other three girls. their sound is more innocent and refreshing. kimlip: debuted may 2017. red, owl, has neither location nor fruit. leader of odd eye circle and one of the ground breakers in loona history. her solo was one of the first that blew up internationally. born 1999. jinsoul: june 2017. blue, blue betta. she featured in vivis solo mv so we all expected her to be the next member just for her to hide for another month! born 1997. choerry: she’s the one you pointed out with purple hair, debuted july 2017. purple, fruit bat, jeju, cherry. purest ball of sunshine. born 2001. these three form the subunit odd eye circle. their lore is centered around being the connecting force of loona- 1/3 resides on earth, yyxy on eden. oec travels between and especially choerry has the power of teleportation and is the only member to have color, fruit, location and animal. yves (pronounced eve): november 2017. burgundy, swan, apple. one of our dance queens! leader of yyxy and also born 1997. chuu: december 2017. peach, penguin, strawberry. this girl has PIPES and she’s so adorable, a variety queen in the making. born 1999! gowon: january 2018. eden green, monarch butterfly and pineapple. her voice has a super unique tone to it and she’s one of the funniest members unintentionally. born 2000. olivia hye: debuted last member- february 2018. black/grey, wolf and blood plum. she has one of the deeper voices in the group and is also born 2001. this unit is called yyxy. theyre lead by yves, who much like eve in the bible tempted both chuu and gowon to leave the eden of loonaverse. they left behind olivia hye, who fell to earth to seek revenge. the ‘x’ in their name is gowon, who not only is the connection between yves and chuu, the tempter and tempted, and olivia hye, the forgotten one; but may or may not have reversed the loona timeline to prevent exactly this tragedy from happening. loona has been my ult since i got into them in april 2017. i hate saying they’re different from others bcs all groups are talented and unique but there’s no better way to say it. loona have a charm to them nobody else has. their company is not very big but since the moment i’ve discovered them i knew they would make it big, really big, one day and if they just keep doing their thing they can become a class above everybody else for sure. unfortunately their company sucks ass so since their debut as 12 we’ve had more hiatuses than we’ve had comebacks and less songs than we got during the predebut solos. i hope you can react to more of them as they’re genuinely the group that’s closest to my heart right after nct. orbits, let’s simply wrap this up by saying: BURN BBC! WHY? DESERVE!
3:06 I think that it's her actual voice, all the "wing"s are too. I don't know exactly, but I remember them singing it live and hitting those high notes PERFECTLY
2:49 that blackout in that part means that the one who's watching (because you will be able to see your reflection) is also LOONA bc we are all LOONA 🌕
@@simpofmongmongie4345 that's actually what it really means. When the director/editor adds a black cut in a video, it usually implies that the viewer is part of the video. And as with LOONA's "to all Loonas around the world", it fits so perfectly..
those details you pointed out from Butterfly are somehow connected to the lore but it's not required to know everything about it to understand it! generally speaking the whole MV and concept behind it is pretty much connected to women empowerement, "fly like a butterfly" is almost like an invitation to search for freedom and it's a message to every woman in the world (hence all the different girls from all over the world appearing in the MV, that is something that happens also in the following MV and I'm sure we'll see more shots from all over the world in the future too, cause that is literally a core point of the group, each member during pre debut shot and released MVs as solos AND in different sub units from different parts of the world, and all with different concepts to showcase the "coming together" of the group, which will from the debut sing more about the empowerement and search for freedom while unifying diversities!)
@@alvinswayn oof I can’t wait til he reacts to them tho, all their solo songs are certified bops, (some of) my fav ones are lcm, vivid, egoist, eclipse (kim lip came to kill everyone with this one😩) and then all the others
butterfly has such a heartwarming message, it is basically telling us to spread our wings and fly like a butterfly, so be different and unique and just be yourself + an overarching theme in LOONA is embracing your individuality but also unity between all different types of people :) as i said before LOONA always breaks the norms and boundaries
Loona doesnt have official positions/roles all of them can literally stand on their own... they are 12 main vocalists and main dancers, AND OFC THEYRE ALL VISUALS. we love all rounders!!!
As you are a singer and vocal coach, you would probably really enjoy watching their solos, they each have a unique voice that really fit the genre of their solo! As for Butterfly, it is really a masterpiece, everything from the song, their voices, the aesthetic of the MV and also the choreography and their synchronicity, it's just amazing to watch and listen!
LOONA is their own genre. One of the most unique to listen group/artist in the planet. Oh and this is one of few Lee Sooman favorite groups, he thought that LOONA was so unique and talented that he wanted to produce their songs. Imagine, he wish to have LOONA in SM wich it is crazy!
Hi High(their debut) is the only title track you haven't checked out yet and then (if you still want to see more of them) you should go in order of the solos songs of each member (you can find a playlist on youtube) and then subunits (there are only three) :) Edit: Favorite is another title track i forgot about btw
I don't think Favorite counts as a title track though. More like a pre-release maybe. Like BTS' Black Swan. (Maybe I'm wrong tho, I've just never seen it being referred to as a title track)
The feathers at the end of So What mv are representing Haseul (wich has a white bird as a representative animal in the lore), she's on hiatus so she couldn't appear in both So What and Why Not mvs. The butterflies in So What are also about a member, Gowon (who is the one seen with them) have a Green Eden butterfly as a representative animal.
It would be amazing if you reacted to their solo’s!! They each have different genre’s to fit every member, plus have 3 different subunits! I would recommended watching them in order since that’s how the members were introduced. Great reaction, I got so excited when I saw it was Loona!!
The adlibs in So What that you liked are done by vocal queen Jinsoul. She’s the blonde girl in Butterfly that you thought was pretty, she was the girl wearing the AC/DC shirt in So What ,& she was the one rapping in Why Not specifically on 14:41. She’s known for her vocal runs she’s really extra when she sings lol.
Sir Austin I'm a casual lurker in your youtube and I've been waiting for your reaction to Loona for so long I'm so glad you're checking them out! They're one of the most unique girl groups I've seen and heard. Based on your reactions you singled out Choerry (purple haired girl) Jinsoul (blonde girl) and Kim Lip (the goddess) all 3 are a part of the sub unit Odd Eye Circle! You should definitely check their solos out if you have the time. I would advice you to check out their mvs in order but I believe its better to check out the stuff you wanna hear first then slowly ease your way into their varied discography! Thanks for checking them out!
Would love to see you react to Astro, they're a 6 member group under Fantagio entertainment. They started off with a more cuter and innocent concept but have transitioned to a more mature concept during recent years. They're also releasing their second studio album on the 5th in april. So please check them out, their vocals are very unappreciated imo.
Loona's roles are really flexible, so there aren't really typical roles like main rapper, main dancer, main vocalist, etc. There are members that are known for being very good dancers and vocalists, but they rotate around how they're being used a lot, and I'd say their roles are more about their vocal textures and sounds needed for specific songs. Things are a little different in the subunits and solos though, which you should definitely go through after you've seen all of the ot12/11 music videos. Stanning Loona is kind of a journey, where if you watch things in order, you get to experience each member individually and watch the group being built over a couple years of predebut concepts. There's really nothing like it, and it makes learning members and their styles easier and very interesting.
The high voice was recorded an octave lower then pitched up to be that high. Search up the Mono Tree RU-vid channel (the producers of the song) they show that they pitched it up and show their creation of the song overall.
Yes they don't have official positions, They are very versatile. Like the girl with best vocal is rapping in so what and the girl with best rap technique is hitting the high notes in the same song.
So What is my ultimate favorite Loona song! :) I can only describe it as a wall of sound, it's so awesome! If you're in the mood for some damn cuteness, you should check out Heart Attack by Chuu, I can't deal with the adorableness. ♥️ So nice to see youyr reacting to them again and giving them another chance! :) I'm not an Orbit, but I do really like a lot of their music.
Please react to their solo songs! Each member has something to bring to the table and you don’t have to get invested into the lore if it’s not your cup to tea! I recommend Heart attack by Chuu Let me in by Haseul Singing in the rain by Jinsoul Those are more vocal heavy in my opinion ^^ Some unit songs are great as well like Love4eva by yyxy Girl front by ODD EYE CIRCLE Sonatine by 1/3
aaaaa finally reacting to loona u would LOVE their solos songs especially the one of choerry (the purple hair girl in butterfly) cuz the song has a twist and normally shocks people a lot she the name of her solo is love cherry motion
Loona is so good.. Why Not is one of my favorite songs of all time. I'd recommend any of their solo debut songs but particularly Chuu's Heart Attack, Heejin's Vivid, and Olivia Hye's Egoist. Also for group MVs you can't miss Hi High.
hi! i'm sure people have said this but Choerry (purple hair in butterfly) and Olivia ('deep voice' girl) both do have rap parts frequently! that's basically the LOONA equivalent of being a rapper, since they don't have set vocal/rap positions :)
i’m glad you started this loona journey! btw no one in loona has a fixed position :D you only missed one title track : hi high which is honestly my favorite the girls had a long pre-debut project and they all have solos, you should check them out!
omg yesssss finally since i know you are a singer mentor i recommend haseul - let me in kim lip- eclips choerry- love cherry motion (since you noticed her first with the purple hair) + there is that sub-unite called odd eye circle i highly recommend you to check them out as soon as possible both vocals and instrumentals will let you speachless actually the whole loona discography feels unreal
I think you’d really like from Loona: -Sweet Crazy Love by the odd eye circle sub unit -eclipse by Kim lip -love cherry motion by choerry (who was the purple hair girl u liked) -singing in the rain by jinsoul
i knew loona's music would fit your taste but i'm impressed that you caught the fact that their is a story by yourself. i was way more lost the 1st time
Don't feel obligated to get into the lore. However I do recommend a specific playlist with all the MVs in order of release bc when I was getting into loona I missed some hidden gems and was happy when I found it. It also helps in recognizing the girls a bit, at least in my experience. ru-vid.com/group/PLxjnfovPWz9ARooomWk-jOGYZEPahWmlS
when if ever you get around to the solos there's so much variety and vocals there ✨ to be highly subjective but confident about it at the same time their 1st mini album as a group, the one Hi High is in, i love that mini more than i love myself 😳
Finally, you don't know how long I've been waiting for you to react to more Loona since Star, thank you Sir, Dreamcatcher and Loona are my top favorite groups 😊😊
Finally! My boyfriend will be so happy about his.. the biggest Orbit i know.. Their concept is really interesting and the song are good too ❤️ im becoming an orbit slowly too..
And to answer your question no they dont have official positions like some girls suddenly rap, and some girls suddenly dance in the middle, some girls start belting notes they are just versatile and their music are so unique they dont sound like common kpop groups
I'm not a Loona stan considering I'm neutral towards a majority of their title tracks, but I personally think that Butterfly is one of the best girl group releases ever and the choreo is just beautiful.
Thank you so much for your reaction! I think some songs you’d like based on your reactions to these might be Favorite, Let Me In which is Haseul’s solo, Eclipse is Kim Lip’s solo and you pointed out her voice I think and maybe Egoist which is Olivia Hye’s solo because you also pointed out her voice. Thanks again!
The album Max and Match by the subunit Odd Eye Circle is one of the best pop albums of the last ten years. I'm not a huge fan of the rest of the Loona catalogue but that is worth checking out for sure.
Also, we all have to recognize the choreography prowess of this girlgroup! I have never seen a very intricate choreography than butterfly by a GG ever!! And their dance covers!
Loona is a 12 member girl group formed by Blockberry Creative. The Loona project debuted each member with their own solo and subunit. Heejin, Hyunjin, Haseul, Yeojin, Vivi, Kim Lip, Jinsoul, Choerry, Yves, Chuu, Gowon, and Olivia Hye are the members. Loona ⅓, Odd Eye Circle, and YYXY are the subunits. The music videos seem so cinematic because Loona"s music videos include lore known as the Loonaverse. There are also no set positions, each member has their own time to shine in certain areas such as dancing, vocals, and rap.
at 12:20 the burning feather is a very direct reference to the loonaverse. almost all of loonas music videos are connected and create a story (loonaverse)
This really made my day. Im Sone and Orbit. I love watching your reaction. Especially about SNSD and Taeyeon. Now you doing Loona. Thank You soo muchhhh...🥺
Each of the members have solos (1 tt with mv and 1 b-side) so I hope you react to those!!! In my opinion, LOONA along with Red Velvet have FLAWLESS DISCOGRAPHIES!!! 🤩🥰🥰🥰
Butterfly is definitely a more of a hybrid art film and performance video than it is a music video, which is a very bold choice for a title track that they promoted
Loona are a group that have some of my favourite B-sides. They have so many sultry and beautiful songs, mostly within their subunits. Many having an awesom mysterious vibe to them. Some of my favourites are Love letter, loonatic, Uncover, rosy, D-1, girls talk, rendezvouz 18.6y. But there are way too many great ones to list.
"Oh wow she's really pretty" -Sir Austin to Jinsoul's visual. That's literally almost every first impression of Jinsoul by Orbits that I've come across to XD
