Everything about Eclipse is electric. The outfits, the music, her singing, her rap, the dance. It's easily one of my favorite things to come out of kpop last year, if not all time. Moonbyul's just out here killing it like it's nothing!
No one could dance like moonbyul. I've been kpop fan for almost 8 years, almost all female idol dance with same style (especially cute or sexy dance style). But it's so refreshing to see female idol did popping, locking, urban dance style like moonbyul. She has her own dance style. Moonbyul is unique and original. That's why she's my bias. Especially she proving that without showing so much skin, she still look pretty, handsome, hot and sexy.
don't forget Wheein. she also does popping, locking and urban/hip hop. watch her dance covers to Be Like Me, Lo Lo, and Title. she can also make choreo like Trash and Water Color so she's more versatile. if there were main and lead roles for dance in Mamamoo Wheein would be main.
@@SapiaNt0mata you're right. Wheein more versatile, she is amazing dancer. I didnt talk about who is the best dancer, but about the vibe. Like wheein could do popping and locking dance too, but she still look feminine and has sassy vibe when she do that. But moonbyul is more unique. I feel like i'm watching boy group's dance when i see byul dance. Now i need dance line sub unit. WheeByul 😍
The choreographer is also the choreographer of EXO. :D She always wanted to try this style, for her, she wanted to break the gender barier in terms of music.
It's great to see you really appreciate every detail of the dance and the song✨ Moonbyul it's a great dancer with a different style. She have other song called "Absence" (It's a performance video)
I always love watching people who know what they are talking about compliment my girls. Moonbyul is such an inspiring person and artist. She is always unashamedly herself and she looks so cool doing it. She said many times that eclipse is a style she has always wanted to try and that her wish is to keep releasing songs that proves music is not limited by gender. Her lyricism is also something that i wish more people paid attention to bc she is a poet. You should check out absence and listen to the whole dsotm album bc is so beautiful and also insightful. Thank you for this reaction
I knew you'd love this song! I hope you could react to one of her other songs 'Absence' as well. It's one of my favorite ones from her album and the special video really shows her off well, dancing and all
She’s so stunning!! And I love how she’s so true to her own style, she’s very original. She doesn’t wear anything super feminine but she still looks like a queen 🤍
Just how Joy's Hello suit her well. Eclipse suited Moon so damn well. This song is the reason why she's my bias in Mamamoo. It's her style, the dance, the rap, everything.
the song itself is about the various aspects of a person's self... each outfit in the mv is meant to represent one of those aspects, though only two get named. the version in all white is 'moonstar, the defender' while the all black is 'monster, the devourer'. the one barely seen outfit with both black and white, seen pulling (or being pulled by) ropes she said is the most important one, trying to keep a balance between the two. the brown outfit is in balance or the version she shows to everybody. she never actually discussed the soldier outfit, so that one is up in the air and one thing she said is she believes there should be no gender in music... there's no such thing as 'boy music' or 'girl music'. she wanted to showcase that with the choreography here (it helps that she usually gravitates towards what is generally considered masculine). she worked with a choreographer known for working with boy groups (particularly exo) and was the first female artist he ever worked with usually byul has male backup dancers but she also made sure one of her performance videos for this song was nothing but female backup dancers and another interesting thing is the changes she made in every livestage while promoting the song. since she wore a different outfit each time, she danced according to the persona that outfit represented. easiest example to see was when she was 'monster', the all black outfit. for that stage she danced more forcefully and her moves were also a bit more erratic
Have you seen Selfish by Moonbyul and Seulgi of Red Velvet yet? If not, please check it out. It's a different side of Moonbyul than Eclipse but I absolutely love that song. Also, Absence performance video is another must see.
Not me thinking you already watched this! 😂 Eclipse was probably my most played song of 2020. Moonbyul has a lot of moods and so her music is always mood.
I'm always here for appreciation of Moonbyul's dance moves, vocals, rap and lyricism. She's amazing, there's so much detail in her footwork and it's great to watch a dancer react to it. I can't wait to see what she comes back with for her next solo
Personnaly i support Wheein the most in MAMAMOO, but i was really surprised by MOONBYUL solos. I like all of her solo stuff (And that isn't the case for Wheein).
Eclipse is my fav Moonbyul song. Absence, Mirror, Moon Movie, Love and Hate would fill out the top 5. I personally think this fits her more then Selfish. Though I think any track on Moon or Darkaide of the Moon fits more then Selfish. My fav outfits from Eclipse- black military, camo and solid white. I also love the choreo and I am trying to learn it.
Same! I'm a TWICE fan and I don't really check out other GG but there's something about Moonbyul that attracts me and made watch their stuffs and listen to their music. I can't even remember how many times I've watched this MV because it's so dope!
watching this with you was like watching it for the first time all over again, I got so excited. I forgot how much I love the MV and the looks she served and the iconic dance moves. There's so much footwork and popping, it's addictive. Thank you for reacting! Absence is a fantastic moonbyul solo to check out too -- it has a performance video that's basically an mv.
So here is the deal... Wheein is my bias, but Moonbyul's solo stuff is my favorite. Overall I love Mamamoo and each member is so special. You have to check her other solo stuff. Absence is my favorite, but her whole album is just fire. I just love her style and her unique voice. Thanks so much for reacting.
The whole Dark Side of The Moon album is rich in breaking gender-norm vibe, music & dancing wise. It's Moonbyul's vibe all the way. I really respect this particular album.
Been waiting for this one 🤩. Side note. Alexa has a dance cover to this.... I won't spoil it, but there is a surprise towards the end. Lovin' the reactions. Stay healthy & happy. cheers
I already loved the song but your explanations really helped me appreciate it even more, thank you!! I think that having whiplash is a moomoo struggle... they (esp moonbyul) goes from swag to cute REAL QUICK. ow my neck
i love watching your reactions to mamamoo because some reactors just watch the mv but you also analyze and always try to understand the lyrics, it satisfies me how you appreciate eveything in their music
just a little trivia: the choreographer for Eclipse is Kasper, mostly known for working with EXO. if i remember correctly, he said Moonbyul was the first female artist he ever worked with! :D also if you feel like Moonbyul's solo is the one you gravitate towards the most, i'd heavily suggest listening to her full EP Dark Side Of The Moon. it's truly a wonderful piece of work.
Aaaahhh am so happy you reacted to this😆😆 imagine some people said she's a stiff dancer 🙄 I'll wait for you to react to Absence. That's my most favorite song from her and also the dance😩
If haven’t I definitely recommend watching the dancer change version of eclipse. It’s so good and does kinda give a different vibe than the dance practice
As far as I can remember this was choreographed by EXO's almost resident choreographer since he choreographed a lot of EXO's dance in their earlier years lol. His name is Kasper and he is also a part of this company called One Million Dance Studio which offers dance classes and uploads videos of them dancing on youtube.
this was indeed done by kasper. moonbyul was the first female artist he ever worked with and he wound up having nothing but praise for her and her dancers (both male and female). he even came back like a month later to choreograph her song "absence"
I really knew you'd like it! That's why I was waiting for you to check it out, it is my favorite as well just the style, the choreography, the song itself and moonbyul's performance it's truly amazing
This was such a great reaction! I love this song so much and every small little detail put in the song or the choreo. Also Mamamoo's different colors and when they come together and still show their colors is so beautiful.
Did you know that Moonbyul worked on Mamamoo's choreography and solo songs? She is the most talented and complete artist in Kpop! Vocal Queen, Rapper, Songwriter, Producer/Co-Producer, Dancer!
Love your reaction ❤ I highly recommend 'Dancer change ver' of this song choreography,, It has proper camera work that highlights best elements of the dance, btw, it is filmed by the choreographer(!),, at different scenery with female dancers(!),, it radiates different vibe,, +she's ultra swag there. I think it would be interesting to watch it for the science hehe. and, also check out her another song 'Absence'. Sorry for the weird English 😅
Can you react to _BORN TO WIN_ by *BINI* , _THE LIGHT_ by *BGYO* and _WHAT?!_ by *SB19* They are all popular rising P-POP groups that is going Worldwide
Absolutely love her music. This is one of my favorite mvs of hers. Such duality. Still my bae not bias. You should check out Alexa's dance of this w Moonbyul its phenomenal.
Now that you've watched this you should react to AleXa's dance cover of it. Moonbyul photobombs the filming as only she can. AleXa has been friends with Mamamoo since she appeared as an extra in the Gogobebe MV.
Eclipse y abcense creo son dos temas que se conectan nos muestran las dos caras de la luna y definitivamente las dos son increibles 😂😍muy buena reaccion 😘
and Moonbyul didnt even get half of the views she deserved this comeback was so good im so sad to see someone like her who is authentically herself and unique be so underrated:(
Don't know if you saw the Making of this... They were shooting LATE in the night/morning, and Solar came by and energized Moonbyul when she was feeling exhausted
She is so stunning oh my god but I have a suggestion for a video. Could you react to Sunrise by GFRIEND? That song and choreography hits different and isn’t appreciated enough😔
Loving your reactions on Mamamoo! Been watching them a lot! Might want to check out 2pm as well, their dance style and music is just so mature and sexy! And they just made their comeback after 5 years a few days ago! Looking forward to it! 😍😍
I hope you'll take a look at all the show performances for Eclipse! Because as she has 2 main performance personas in this song, MoonStar the protector and Monster the devourer, in the performance shows, she will dance according to what she's dressed during the show. When she's Moonstar, her actions are light, smooth, and fluid. But when she's Monster, the actions tend to be more erratic and powerful. Same thing for her expressions for each performances! Please check them out and see for yourself! I love every single one of the Eclipe perf show videos. ❤️❤️❤️
Please try reacting to Moonbyul’s Absence! It’s a song inspired by the kdrama ‘World of the Married Couple’ she wrote lyrics while watching that, and in addition to that, she sort of(?) confirmed that its based on the perspective of the mistress there, which made the lyrics hit harder + the choreography is good too!
you are extra beautiful today, Thina!! Also, i am happy you were able to watch this, because Byul here is so exceptional, though i was worried because of all the flashing lights, that might hurt you, good thing it did not. nice reaction Thina!!
I'm so happy you liked this MV!!! Moonbyul is my bias in mamamoo and I'd have to say wheein is my bias wrecker. I hope you check out all of moonbyul's solo music!! She has a couple of really good concerts you could watch too.
The long awaited reaction to Eclipse! I knew you'd like the dance for it, since it seems way more in line with your style. Moonbyul doesn't get to showcase her skill in this type of style with Mamamoo (we love them all though), so it's great to see that she gets to do so in her solo work. A lot of her other songs on her solo album are also worth checking out, if you have the time. One thing I love about Moonbyul's dancing is that she has a habit of "gliding" very often. Like, she doesn't _actually_ glide (although she _does_ know how to do a short one). But she has a clear habit of not lifting her feet very far from the ground when dancing, and it always gives such a smooth visual when she moves around. Keep an eye out and you might see it in future/other choreo videos! :) I just want to point out a few cool choreography points, since Byul's dances always seem to have something very symbolic in them: - She often covers her eyes with her hands/arms, similar to how the moon cover the sun (eclipse). - Whenever she's making a ball-like form with her two hands, that's supposed to be the moon. - When the dancers surround her during the slow down, and she's following her hand slowly in an arch, it's like how the moon travels through the night sky. - There's a move where she covers her face with her hand then peeks out behind it, like she's removing a mask. The song "Eclipse" is about the dark and light sides of the moon/a person...so it's like revealing another side of you. Peek-a-boo... - The part that you like when she raises up her arm lines up with the lyrics, "I'll save you with my light." Reaching up, it's like she's holding the moon that is shining down. Much like others say, "Absence" is also a fantastic piece. The style is much more RnB pop ballad (mmm angst), but the dancing again has very intricate moments. (There's only a Performance MV if you ever look it up.) Alternatively, there's also a Dingo Move Rec version that also includes her dancing to her intro track, "Satellite."

A 14 min video turns into a 20+ min video because everytiem she points something out Me: goes back many times to see and appreciate what she highlighted I already loved the choreography but I fell in love again because of this video
Your analysis on the dance is very informative. It kind of opened a whole new world for me as I have not the slightest knowledge about dance. This made me appreciate it more.
They actually released something they called a Choreography Log for this where they showed the actual process of the choreographer teaching the dance to her. Obviously they didn't show the entire process of learning the routine, but it's still so so interesting to watch. Here it is subbed if you're interested: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-U4LJvSW7CxM.html
