As I come back to this video, there are a few smaller parts that I forget to mention to add to this video: 1. The Instinct part 1 and part 2 albums are noticeably gender-neutral, not using gendered pronouns or saying "girl" or "boy". This makes it easy for everyone to relate to their music. The reason why I said 'gaslighting' is (presumably) about a guy is because in the OOO Universe, it mostly likely the point where "the boy" accepts that he is attracted to guys and that his first queer relationship is being ruined by him and his partner feeling the pressure of societal expectations. 2. Their song, 'hidoi otoko' (Japanese version of 'blueblueseoul') the lyrics say 'man', making it their first explicitly queer song. 3. OnlyOneOf have often taken on a gender-neutral or androgynous image and describe themselves as "beyond gender". In this video, I tried to make the descriptions as inclusive as possible and not just restrict it to cis LGB people. OnlyOneOf is for everyone who finds comfort in their work :) I just want to say, thank you for watching this video
"Non queer people should not be policing what queer people can like and comfort in." TOTALLY TRUE. I am a Japanese quire and recently passed an LGBTQ+ bill that I don't understand very well in my home country. It's a completely meaningless bill that has little effect on changing the world if it doesn't make me feel safe. There was even a sentence in the bill that said, "Minority must be considerate of majority." I want to insist on the above phrase that you gave me in the video.
I am SO TIRED of pretentious fake-woke cishets accusing people of queerbaiting and deciding what queer content we (queers) can or can't enjoy...thank you for this video essay, you've already said everything I wanted to say :)
I really want to say thank you for taking your time to make this video. OnlyOneOf’s true support for the LGBTQIA+ community needs to be more acknowledged among non-fans. I am only now becoming a lyOn and this video just further proves that they care and are ready to be the comfort a lot of us are seeking. Showing so much support to the community through their work can (sadly) impact the group’s chances of success in the industry, yet they are doing it regardless and I love them for that.
This is so well written n researched that i had to drop a comment. I started following the boys from January after coming across Iibid0, then i stayed for the Underground Series and boi was I surprised. I remember crying when i read the descriptions. (I am not queer) But it made me so happy to see REAL, healthy representation in the Kpop Industry. The song that really hit me was Sage, cause i come from a religious family. I may not be LGBTQ+ but i have also made it my mission to correct ppl, even my toxic familly. Gas lighting is also another good one, becaus my family has a bunch of gas lighters smh. So i was really surprised about how the lyrics captured that form of abuse. Again, thank you for this video. Think im gonna hit the subscribe butten and check out the rest of your content.
Thank you so much and I'm glad you like this video. Thank you for also being a good ally to queer people and lyOns 💓 I hope u do find other videos of mine you like. I'm trying to update my editing style but I'm not able to at the moment because I just started college and I'm very busy :)
THIS VIDEO thank you so much, honestly so tired of people calling OnlyOneOf's work queerbaiting after watching two seconds of some mv 🙄 HERE, HAVE 20 MINS OF ONLYONEOF BEING THE BEST ALLIES 🔥
Why didn't youtube recommend this to me sooner?? This is great! You neatly summarized everything I love about OOO and why I believe every queer kpop fan should give them a shot and understand what they're about instead of buying into stuff they heard from haters. I totally get your frustration with fans who just flat out refuse to understand, be they straight or queer, and I wish I could sit them all down and force them to watch this video so they stop spreading bad takes and misinformation
I'm a little late to this but thank you so much for making this! I've been a fan of OOO's music for almost 2 years but the more i learn from them as a group and as people the more i fall in love with them. I love the fact that they make an effort not only to include gay characters and homosexual points of view in their music but that they're also inclusive of gender issues and identities outside of just 'gay', they really gather a big portion of the lgbt+ community.
Just fell down the rabbit hole a few days ago, I’m cryinggg, they should be more popular! Such a good message + the fact that they participate fully in their work, from music production to acting in a series, it's amazing.
I absolutely love the way you explained this! I also really liked how you put a warning at the start of the video. People can get mad at people and groups like OnlyOneOf for "Queer bating" for literally no reason. Like you said, it's not Queer baiting, it's just blatantly Queer. I loved the video and how clear it was. Thank you so much!
And this is why I’m proud to be a LyOn✊🏾they’re the best ally groups ever! They deserve to taste the rainbow🏳️🌈and no OnlyOneOf is not queerbait at all so people need to do their research Btw Yoojung is my main bias Junji is my bias wreck and my ultimate bias and KB is my semi ulti
no because yt literally recommended OnlyOneOf to me BECAUSE i'm queer, i came to know of them like a week ago and i'm so glad honestly. i purposely consume only queer media because it's what i relate to, and these guys are simply fantastic. Also they're funny af, talented and creative, they put a LOT of work in what they do, they're part of every step in the creative process; i'm just glad for them but sad they're so underrated, not one bad song and still no one talks about them:(
I understand what you mean. I want them to get all the recognition in the world but sometimes, it also feels like a blessing that they aren't too popular or well-known. This fandom just feels closer than a lot of others. It's unfortunate that it comes a cost but it truly feels comfortable here, and I'm glad it feels like that for you as well :)
I love them so much my biases are Junji, KyuBin, and YooJung 🥺❤️ I have a friend who’s a male Gay K-Pop fan and although I don’t think he’s a LyOn I’m sure OOO have helped him
15:57 I love how because of the "in the span of two months..." and all the pictures of the flags I thought there was going to be some sort of legitimate count or estimate of how many flags they've held up but instead you just say "a fuckton" 😂😂😂
lol I'd love to give you an actual number but I'm convinced it would take hours to count. I thought "fuckton" really displayed how many flags they've held up perfectly 😂
Onlyoneof are truly amazing! I'm sad to say I'm part of the huge majority who got bullied for being part of the LGBTQ+ community specifically being a trans male. I still have some school years ahead of me which I'm not looking forward too but Onlyoneof has truly helped me a lot. I remember many times when I was listening to their music while hearing comments being said to me, many slurs and such. Or an experience when going to men restroom onces and only once. I have since have not gone there. I constantly listen to them at school, they give me much strength🏳️🌈
I'm glad they have helped you so much but I'm so sorry you have to go through that. Just remember school is a relatively short period of your life and soon, you'll able to find so many other people who support and love you unconditionally. Stay strong ❤️
Hope you can continue to gain strength from OOO as you have to live through the rest of this cruel experience. I hope you will someday feel safe to go to men's rooms.
OnlyOneOf has made so many big changes in my life. They helped me accept myself for who I am and have made me feel a lot better about being myself. Since listening to their music, I’ve gotten a lot happier and open about a lot more than sexuality, and I even am in a relationship now with someone I would’ve otherwise been too scared to approach. I appreciate them so much and they’re honestly so brave for continuing to spread awareness in a country that can be brutal. It always makes me so happy to share their music with others, and they deserve all the joy, love, and appreciation in the world. And also, I think it would be really cool for a Holland collab! 🩷💛💙 🩷🤍💜🖤💙 ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
I feel like not a lot of people actually talk about OnlyOneOf and what they actually stand for in as much detail as you did, thank you for taking you time and effort to make this amazing video❤️🫶🏻
