Yesss I don’t think anyone said it yet but Hwang Hyun is highly regarded among the Fuse fandom because he’s basically the backbone of ONF’s music. He helped a lot in shaping ONF’s music as he knows the members since 2016, and also has practically full creative control on their discography (WM doesn’t really tell him what to do, he just produces whatever he wants and the company either approves it or not). The members themselves call him Hwangbeoji (translating to Hwang father) as they’re pretty close and during their military hiatus he also spent time with their maknae (who’s Japanese) + went to watch some of the performances they were allowed to do as part of their military service. Absolutely all of their songs are produced by him and/or Monotree producers, which is why their discography is so consistent yet constantly evolving! Also, ONF always have at least 1 ballad per album. “Moscow Moscow” was the ballad for the “Go Live” album. Fun fact: when Hwang Hyun had to send the tracklist for the album to the company, he wished he could add one more song. When he heard that ONF were filming in Russia for their MV, he named the last song “Moscow Moscow” without even having written it lol. In the end it took him a week to compose/write it, then he sent the guide to the members while they were still filming overseas and they recorded it on their return.
Sukhumvit Swimming was actually originally going to be a bside for Why, and Moscow Moscow was actually written quite quickly to replace it at the time because they thought SukSwim was too good to be just a bside 1:29:47
Thank you for reacting❤ I really enjoyed this video! I’m a Korean Fuse, and As you know, ONF is not the well-known Kpop idol for international kpop listner.. so there are reactions to onf not so much.. So I’m really really happy to find this video☺️ And i want to watch the video of part 2, but it seems like there is a problem with that😢 Maybe because of the stage video of The Realist. Can you check what the problem is? I hope you re-upload the part 2🥹🥹
thank you so much for the reaction!! super excited for the 2nd part :DD the cube theory was insane loll btw, as a fellow orchestral instrumental lover, i'd highly recommend checking out 'my song' in part 2!! it's their most orchestral-heavy song, my fave song from them, and it's a bside off of the album for 'your song'!
Sukhumvit is a one of a road/district name in Thailand :) At first, they planed to film mv in Thailand but unfortunately they could not make it due to covid pandemic so they might inspire the title song from that. Btw I didn’t expect y’all to know ONF. They’re amazing!! I really love their music.
I love ONF so much. They have the best discography ever. Even their b-sides are amazing. They have a really rich and wide range in their music, and they pulled off each of them so well. Hope you guys will continue to support and follow up on their future releases. Thanks for this deep dive. Definitely gonna check out the part 2.
@AudioAddictionmedia yeah sorry about that😂 i wasnt done watching the whole video so i thought it wasnt there! Btw if u guys havent started filming onf part 2, can u add Runaway to the playlist? It's so good
We did upload pt 2 but unfortunately it got blocked 😭 I am going to upload the edited part 2 today! The fully unedited version is up on our Patreon if you're interested! - Brandon
