Vocal Coach & Songwriters First Time Reaction to Onewe (원위) - AuRoRa | Song Reaction & Analysis 

Heck yeah! Onewe are my boys! This band actually was formed by the members when most of them were in high school. Harin (drums), Kanghyun (guitar), and Giuk (bass) met at the music academy they went to and started the band together. They needed a vocalist so Giuk invited his neighbor Dongmyeong (keyboard / vocals) to join them. These four got asked to be session band for a singing competition, and somehow got the idea to ask the winner of that competition to join their band. The winner of course being Yonghoon (main vocal / guitar occasionally) who despite being a college student, decided that placing his career in the hands of a bunch of high schoolers was a good idea, and well, the rest is history. The members do write their own music, but they tend to song write individually, or in pairs, which is fun because you never know what you are going to get since the members have pretty distinct styles.

Richard, yes, ONEWE members write or contribute to composing most of their songs. AuRoRa was written by Kanghyun (guitarist), Jeon Da Woon (producer at their label, RBW), YongHoon (lead vocalist) and Giuk (bass guitar and rapper). Thanks for this reaction!!!

Big thanks for the Weve who requested for this! Spreading the Onewe agenda to the universe :) Fun fact: Aurora was #1 on MTV's list of "The Best K-Pop B-Sides of 2021"

Glad you like ONEWE! They're one of the hidden gems of South Korea. Here are some facts about them: they're self-produced! All the members write and compose their music, but Giuk (guitar, rapper, and youngest) takes the lead on production alongside RBW's producers. Their history is quite interesting. They formed their band independently and then joined a label. Harin (Drums), Kanghyun (Guitar), Dongmyeong (Vocals & Keys), and Giuk (Bass & Rap) formed the band together since they knew each other beforehand. They then met Yonghoon (Lead Vocals) at a competition and asked him to join the group. After that, they were recruited by RBW and officially debuted as Onewe. Some of my favourite songs are: Star, Regulus, Rain to be and Reminisce about all Hope you can check them out because they truly are amazing!

I love watching folks discover Onewe. They are criminally underrated given how talented they are. I recently watched a different channel do a reaction to them and they really didn't like that this band has multiple vocalists. It felt good to see you talk about a very famous and well loved Western band with multiple singers.

Thanks for listening to ONEWE! They are fairly unknown in the mainstream music sphere, but their quality shows, and us fans are super loyal and supportive for any recognition they get. As others have mentioned, all of the members take part in writing, composing and producing their songs. All of them have formal musical training, and play several instruments, even cross-training each other in different instruments. (Ex: the drummer is actually an accomplished pianist). This musicality of all of the members always shows through in their songs, in a way, the guitar/drum solos are a way for those members to "sing" and have time to shine. It very much gives the feeling of more "retro" Western rock bands, and I love it. Next song reaction suggestions include: Rain to Be - rock song with Latin flair _Montage - full-out rock song _Universe - emotional ballad, the lyrics will get you on this one for sure Book of Memory - chilling power ballad Parting - Chill Rock? STAR - spacy rock ballad

ONEWE sounds like their discography would really suit your taste!! Most of their songs have guitar solos and their vocal parts are distributed perfectly (everyone gets to shine!) The lead singer is insanely good too. I recommend Montage for hard rock like this one, Rain To Be for latin/pop rock and Regulus for soft rock:) And yes they write their own songs (especially lyrics are almost entirely by the members only) Aurora is written by Kanghyun, the blue haired guitarist.

So happy to see this reaction! ONEWE are so skilled, and I really enjoyed hearing your perspective on them; you hit the nail on the head when you noted that they seemed to have a good understanding of where each person's vocals (and instrumentals, too) would fit, since they've been together as a group for 9 years now. Regarding ONEWE's songwriting, everyone in the band has written at least one song, but the main songwriters of the group are Kanghyun (guitarist), Giuk (bassist/rapper), and Yonghoon (main vocalist). Kanghyun was the main composer/writer for AuRoRa, although others were also involved in its creation. If you're interested in checking out more ONEWE songs, I'd suggest Montage_, Parting, and Universe for a variety of different sounds (also, each of those songs has a different member as the main songwriter).

I think one of the reasons guitar solos don’t work in most western songs is because they’re there just to be there.. with Onewe and many other eastern bands (especially ones that write their own stuff) it’s made to actually fit the song.. and not just because it’s thrown in there.. that my two cents on it at least.. Thanks so much for reacting to Onewe, they’re one of my favourite groups, they’ve never failed me with their music.. and Yonghoon (front guy) is my favourite vocalist of all time 🥰🥰🥰

This was an exciting surprise. Onewe is my favorite Kband and the lead singer Yonghoon has the voice I love the most. You will get a different sounding song based on which member was most responsible for the track. Don't know what song we will see next but look forward to it.

This one of the best songs I've ever heard

omg the way i did not expect this! i love onewe so much!

ONEWE Montage_ music video next please

ONEWE are trully gems!!! they're awesome and soooo good!!

Onewe (yes, One-we, their brother group is Oneus) members have a hand in writing and arranging all their music and they are so talented and underrated!!! They deserve to be much bigger than they are. I also recommend their songs Parting (the first I heard from them and has both normal and acoustic versions), A Book in Memory, End of Spring, Reminisce About All, and Universe_. Aurora is definitely my favorite though. Yonghoon (lead vocal) has a voice that is just so unmatched. He can do power, he can go soft. It’s so beautiful, and Dongmyeong (keys) is a wonderful main vocal to pair with him in harmony.

this is my favorite song from onewe they are so good. they also have a brother group called oneus which is more choero base also good

Onewe has some of my favorite songs in kpop. The vocals, the guitar solos...everything is just so good and makes me happy to watch/hear them. Aurora, Rain To Be, A Book In Memory....so many good songs.

ONEWE IS THE BEST!!!! THANK YOU GUYS 😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤

ONEWE are one of many favorites of mine. They have this song in full English version as well.

ONEWE really are an incredible band. The vocals, the music and the lyrics are all great. What's more, they're the ones who write the songs and record the music. They are charming, talented, funny and adorable 🥰❤❤

As much as I like kpop. I love kbands. There some really underrated bands out there.

please more reactions to ONEWE like a Book of Memory

They are an amazing band and have an English album. Power house main vocalist and their guitarist is freaking amazing and I think hands down one of the best guitarist in the kpop/krock bands. And fun fact - keyboards has a twin brother who’s in OneUs and kpop group

yes they're writting their own songs

OMG! Thank you for this!!! ❤❤

I loved hearing your comments on the guitar solo! If you’re interested in hearing more from them, I’d recommend Star and Shoot it out!

Loved your reaction, I'm a big onewe fan and I was immersed as the 1st time i listened the song

SOHYANG and ONEWE are my two favorite Korean artist!! 🇰🇷🎸🎤

1st time for me too.

Next reaction recommendation be their GRAVITY first full english song.

Thank you for the enjoyable reaction! It was great to see you even repeat the solo, it's worth the love hahah As many people have told you guys already, they do write their songs themselves and decide the line distribution, including the sections for the raps which are always written by bassist/rapper Giuk! Usually they write songs individually and then come to the other members to complete and polish it with their own expertise, and they have the support of a company producer, who also sometimes writes songs for them (fun fact: guitarist Kanghyun started a "star/space series" of songs, to which AuRoRa belongs, and this even inspired the producer to write a song of this theme for them, named "Star"!). Either way they are always heavily involved, and sometimes even participate in songs by other artists of the company. This song was mainly composed/written by guitarist Kanghyun! For similar ones, you may enjoy other by him like Parting (curiously inspired by a dream of a meteor falling towards earth and the desperation of having some final words to loved ones) and Shoot it out (originally with the topic of quantum mechanics lol, he's a huge bookworm and loves such stuff) or Montage_ and TRAUMA by bassist Giuk - the latter is among my faves, drawing inspiration from his own traumatic experience almost drowning once. Main vocalist Yonghoon tends to write more mellow and dramatic emotional songs, like Universe_ or Reminisce about all (inspired by his past hardship, with the message of "even the bad moments become memories"), while singer/keyboardist Dongmyeong has a more jazzy smooth style with a focus on themes important to him as in Trigger_ (which expresses the desire to fight against prejudice and unfair standards), and drummer Harin surprisingly enjoys making softer and delicate songs like Envision_, which expresses the feeling of being stuck in routine like a child in a wall looking up to the faraway stars. Thanks again, and have a lovely day! ^^

hope you listen to more of onewe

Thank you for your reaction. I'm happy when I see new people reacting to Onewe! Interesting that you mentioned Eddie Van Halen, because Kanghyun (the guitarrist) covered a couple of his solos, including Beat it.

ty for reacting! enjoyed it very much, good to see ppl who are from the industry to watch and analyze the video onewe are a very talented group, both their skills as vocalists/rappers and musicians and also their songwriting are chef's kiss onewe have three main songwriters and two who write a little bit less (hopefully for now) this song for example is the song pf their guitarist

Before taking a 2 year military service hiatus, lead singer Jin Yonghoon wrote "Universe_" as a tribute to the fans.

Can you please listen to their brother band oneus?

REACT TO SOLO TAEMIN ♥

Please react to Dimash Okinish ( Regret) he only sang it one time and when asked hesaid he forgot the lyrics. You can find it by typing it in. There are only 2 fan cams of it that I have come across only one has subtitles. Please and thank you.😊😊

Got the BTS vocal vibe with this band. They sing in two languages and mix vocals with rap. One of their singers sounds like Jin, and the rapper has similar style to Suga's rap flow. And yeah, some could say they sound like The Rose. Good sound--need to hear more. 😀

We Gabriel Henrique fans are excited to see you two reacting to these great covers: My All, One sweet day, Sending all my love for you, I want to know what love is, Something beautiful, I don't want to miss a thing, Don't stop believing, Fly like a bird, If you only knew, Sublime, O Extraordinário, Fidelidade, Agnus Dei...
