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 :(
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 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.
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 💀
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 😁
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
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!)
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)
@@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
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..
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'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.
I came back to this video to see if anybody recommended Hi High and didn’t rlly see anybody say it but if you want a catchy song Hi High is def catchy and it’s their debut and def still my fav Loona song
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
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 😊😊
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
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!
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!
austin! i’ve been watching your reactions for months now and you’re one of the reactors (channel) i go to on my free time. i know how much you love exo and red velvet and to be honest, those two groups are one of the groups i stan-stan. i rarely post comments on any channels here on youtube, but knowing how much you love exo and red velvet, and now that you’re starting to listen to more loona songs, i wanted to say how excited i am for this loona adventure you’re getting into. i’ve been a kpop fan since 2012, and i listen to a lot of artists (western, kpop, etc.), but the only groups i stan-stan ever since are exo, red velvet, and loona. and in my opinion, those three groups have one of the greatest and most versatile discography out there, a god-tier. just listening to loona’s title tracks already shows how unique and versatile they are in terms of genre. they never do the same thing. in fact, their title tracks are just a glimpse of their entire discography. loona has 12 talented and wonderful girls. these girls will make you fall for them in many ways; voices, dancing skills, visuals, and personality. loona’s music, from solo, unit, and full group songs, are one of the greatest out there. i know understanding their mv is a little confusing, but it’s actually part of their identity as a group (loonaverse: lore/theories) but you don’t really have to get into that if you’re here for their music, that’s fine too. the loonaverse is just an addition to their beautiful concept as a group. if you want to start listening to their discography, there’s a lot of songs to listen/react to! this group released solo, sub-unit, and group songs since their debut. you can start listening (on your own, or for reaction videos) to see if i lied when i said that they have one of the greatest and most versatile discography out there, along with exo and red velvet. however, i already think you’re going to fall in love with these 12 girls once you started getting to know them; music and personality/group dynamics. i just know it! hehe thank you for this reaction, austin! take care always and be safe!
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)
as someone who first got into kpop through girls generation, red velvet and exo, i feel like we have a VERY similar music taste so i'd recommend: sweet crazy love by the subunit odd eye circle, dancing in the rain by jinsoul aka the girl you kept saying was beautiful and your purple haired girl choerry's solo - love cherry motion (just bc it's... special and i'd love to see your reaction). but honestly, loona is one of those special gems of kpop where each and every song is so unique and gold so you can't go wrong with whatever you choose to react to next :)
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
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!
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)
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
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.
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.
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.
hey austin coming back to this video again wondering if we’ll ever get another LOONA reaction :(( their japanese release is coming in 2 weeks and they had their recent cb end of june this year hopefully you get to check them out i’ll be waiting for your opinion/reaction thanks again!! 🤍🤍
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.
"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
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
The high voice was recorded an octave lower then pitched up to be that high. Search up the Mono Tree RUclips channel (the producers of the song) they show that they pitched it up and show their creation of the song overall.
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 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.
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!
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
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...🥺
Yesss, I absolutely loved this reactions. I was one of the ones that asked for more Loona, hehe. I'm super glad you liked these songs as well. :) You mentioned the member's solos and I think that's a good idea of where to start, since they're all so unique and can give you a taste of Loona's variety in their discography. Since you seem interested in the lore, I'd recommend watching them in chronological order to reduce confusion, but it's totally ok if you don't get everything or prefer to watch the songs that are your style first. (I've been an Orbit since Why Not era and I still don't know everything but I'm enjoying myself 100% and I hope it's a similar experience for you :P)
As soon as Lee Soo Man got involved with Loona, we heard one of the most iconic 'SM bridges' in So What - I'm very excited for what they do next. He hasn't produced a song for one of his own girl groups for years and years - the only other song he had worked on directly since 2015 was Jopping. He clearly saw something in Loona (that Orbits had been seeing for a few years already).
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 😳
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.
The pretty blonde girl in butterfly is same as the girl doing the background vocals in so what and is the same beautiful girl ar 14:43 in why not. She is Jinsoul.
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.
The last title track missing is Hi High but Favourite was also the lead track for that release and it's a song I recommend. An interesting fact is that the members were indeed presented one at the time with well crafted solo and sub-unit projects and from those releases I highly recommend Kim Lip's Ecplise, Jinsoul's Singing In The Rain, and Yves' New. I personally don't love Heart Attack by Chuu but the song has really good vocals in it. The videos are all good tho and very different too to reflect the different vibes, style and colors each member brings to Loona.
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 :)
IM SO GLAD U DECIDED TO WATCH MORE LOONA! the vocals in the back of so what is jinsoul (she was the blonde one in butterfly), they have this performance in immortal songs, and u can listen to their vocals more clearly~~ the four girls dancing in why not? was olivia hye (the deep voice u liked it in butterfly), choerry (purple haired girl), yves and chuu. MY REC FOR FUTURE REACTS: singing in the rain (jinsoul), love cherry motion (choerry), eclipse (kim lip). u can watch the solos in order (has a playlist with them) but i think the ones you will like the most are from their sub-unit ODD EYE CIRCLE, they are very unique and more your style! im so so happy u enjoyed, i hope u keep watching them.
and the reason why in all mvs are scenes of random girls is actually a beautiful message by loona cuz they say we all are "loonas" around the world (girls stuck in a world who can unite and make a difference like a small flap of the wings of a butterfly which can became a hurricane)
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.
IMO Loona has one of the best discographies in Kpop of their generation! Like from the solos, to subunits, to group songs all bangers!!!! I get why people used to spam comments with #stanLoona
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
OH it would be intresting if you react to their debuts! Because the company debuted them each individually with their own song and mv, it was like debut of 4 members, and then a mini album for that sub unit, then the a few more solos, and then the mvs for that unit, it's a really cool concept that I think will let you know the girls vibes more!
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!
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!!!
Maybe it's still a bit early but if you ever feel like wanting to know more about the group, the girls and their music, I recommend the guide "The Avengers of K-pop: the history of loona". Even though it's a bit old now, it's still verry good for a first introduction A more recent one would be "what you missed : a complete guide to loona into 2021"

“it didn’t feel like kpop. it felt like i was listening to whatever LOONA is.”
the absolute accuracy.
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.
WOW LOONA! IF YOU'RE INTERESTED, EACH OF THE MEMBER HAVE A PREDEBUT SOLO SONG YOU MAY WANT TO START FROM THAT!
yes pleaseee and subunits too!
Definitely wanna see his reaction to let me in - Haseul and Sonatine!
Yes!! I think he would really like their predebut songs that showcase vocals!! I'd really really love him to see the solos
@@d00mp0tat0 Omg yes!! Both of those songs would be great!!
it’s definitely a good idea to react to all their predebut solo songs
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.
except Kim Lip! Kim Lip does *not rap*, no no no!
@@choerryIover oh yeah “rap no no no”😭
Oh u mean ms kimberly lippington
Someone said this on twitter and it’s stayed with me since: “the loona sound is them doing a specific genre once and then never doing it again”
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🥰
I think that the MV is not enough to appreciate the choreo. Which in my opinion is one of the best I've ever seen.
@@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 :(
I LOVED to see them center diverse women in the MVs storyline. so refreshing.
One thing that is always consistent with Loona is they always show diversity and unity in their works.
ORBITS WE WON TODAY OMG
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.

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
Seeing new people reacting to LOONA and being confused is just so funny to me. I know how that feel, we all had been then XD
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.
Oh that's interesting
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.
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 💀
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 😁
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
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!)
The So What bridge is literally the best thing I’ve ever heard. Amazing.
Thanks for typing this so I didn't have to.
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)
@@chuugummy975 i just called it a title track cuz I've seen it refered as such and also I've seen a lot of Kpop groups have more than one title track
Please check out their solo stuffs especially Love Cherry Motion & Singing in the Rain.
Ahaha cuz he pointed out Choerry (purple haired girl in butterfly) and Jinsoul(blonde in butterfly and highnote in so what)?
@@sweetmimosamommysaranghae3163 you're right haha
@@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
the girl with the purple hair sings my favorite loona solo it’s called “love cherry motion” please please check it out i’m sure you’ll love it! 💗
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 🌕
Okay sweet theory😌
@@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..
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.
I think it's SO WHAT that has a Lee Sooman influence on it.
So what? and Why Not? are both produced by SooMan
SO WHAT? AND WHY NOT? PRODUCED BY LEE SOO MAN SM CEO
It's the bridge. That's what he does all the time. Slow build and then you slide into this calm gorgeous bridge.
@@kman2324 yesss iconic SM bridge
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
OH MY GOD FINALLY LOONA !!! i hope you'll check out their solo songs because these are so amazing and versatile
YES, IT IS TIME! So happy to see you react to my ults
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.
As a bisexual woman I am so glad to watch my favorite gay kpop stan vocal coach reacting to my lgbt icons-
You gotta check out 'Hi High' it has Chuu's iconic high note!
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.
I find his voice so relaxing lol
I came back to this video to see if anybody recommended Hi High and didn’t rlly see anybody say it but if you want a catchy song Hi High is def catchy and it’s their debut and def still my fav Loona song
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
We need to force him to do a LOONAthon lmao. He needs to get into the lore and lose his mind like the rest of us
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 😊😊
idk if anyone mentioned this, but the reason why all their mvs are more.....artistic oriented is because they all follow the loonaverse aka their lore
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
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!
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!
austin! i’ve been watching your reactions for months now and you’re one of the reactors (channel) i go to on my free time. i know how much you love exo and red velvet and to be honest, those two groups are one of the groups i stan-stan. i rarely post comments on any channels here on youtube, but knowing how much you love exo and red velvet, and now that you’re starting to listen to more loona songs, i wanted to say how excited i am for this loona adventure you’re getting into.
i’ve been a kpop fan since 2012, and i listen to a lot of artists (western, kpop, etc.), but the only groups i stan-stan ever since are exo, red velvet, and loona. and in my opinion, those three groups have one of the greatest and most versatile discography out there, a god-tier. just listening to loona’s title tracks already shows how unique and versatile they are in terms of genre. they never do the same thing. in fact, their title tracks are just a glimpse of their entire discography.
loona has 12 talented and wonderful girls. these girls will make you fall for them in many ways; voices, dancing skills, visuals, and personality. loona’s music, from solo, unit, and full group songs, are one of the greatest out there. i know understanding their mv is a little confusing, but it’s actually part of their identity as a group (loonaverse: lore/theories) but you don’t really have to get into that if you’re here for their music, that’s fine too. the loonaverse is just an addition to their beautiful concept as a group.
if you want to start listening to their discography, there’s a lot of songs to listen/react to! this group released solo, sub-unit, and group songs since their debut. you can start listening (on your own, or for reaction videos) to see if i lied when i said that they have one of the greatest and most versatile discography out there, along with exo and red velvet. however, i already think you’re going to fall in love with these 12 girls once you started getting to know them; music and personality/group dynamics. i just know it! hehe
thank you for this reaction, austin! take care always and be safe!
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)
1 Superb Queen unique group
3 sub Unit groups
12 Crazy different personalities and
12 Hardworking talents
as someone who first got into kpop through girls generation, red velvet and exo, i feel like we have a VERY similar music taste so i'd recommend: sweet crazy love by the subunit odd eye circle, dancing in the rain by jinsoul aka the girl you kept saying was beautiful and your purple haired girl choerry's solo - love cherry motion (just bc it's... special and i'd love to see your reaction). but honestly, loona is one of those special gems of kpop where each and every song is so unique and gold so you can't go wrong with whatever you choose to react to next :)
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
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!
The girls whose doing the high note during the so what bridge is Jinsoul. She's a rapper and vocalist tho ahhaha
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)
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
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.
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.
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.
hey austin coming back to this video again wondering if we’ll ever get another LOONA reaction :(( their japanese release is coming in 2 weeks and they had their recent cb end of june this year hopefully you get to check them out i’ll be waiting for your opinion/reaction thanks again!! 🤍🤍
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.
"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
Literally everyone when they first see Jinsoul,
Oh that girl is so pretty.
@@anubhav9868 her solo song made me an orbit and she was my bias until olivia hye comes and wrecked the hell out of me 😅
@@Splashkip 😂😂 That's great
You know what the funny thing is most orbits first bias was Jinsoul.
@@anubhav9868 like 90% of orbits their first bias is Jinsoul
@@Splashkip Exactly
11:25 she is that Blonde girl in Butterfly MV.. Her name is Jinsoul.. she did that high note
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
The high voice was recorded an octave lower then pitched up to be that high. Search up the Mono Tree RUclips channel (the producers of the song) they show that they pitched it up and show their creation of the song overall.
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!!
👁️👄👁️ i had this weird af dream last night were my favorite reactors were watching Loona and then you uploaded this and now I'm freaked out wtf
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.
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!
Fun fact btw lee sooman (sm entertainment founder) produced loona’s last 2 album its the first time he produced something for a non-sm artists!
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
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...🥺
Yesss, I absolutely loved this reactions. I was one of the ones that asked for more Loona, hehe. I'm super glad you liked these songs as well. :)
You mentioned the member's solos and I think that's a good idea of where to start, since they're all so unique and can give you a taste of Loona's variety in their discography. Since you seem interested in the lore, I'd recommend watching them in chronological order to reduce confusion, but it's totally ok if you don't get everything or prefer to watch the songs that are your style first. (I've been an Orbit since Why Not era and I still don't know everything but I'm enjoying myself 100% and I hope it's a similar experience for you :P)
As soon as Lee Soo Man got involved with Loona, we heard one of the most iconic 'SM bridges' in So What - I'm very excited for what they do next. He hasn't produced a song for one of his own girl groups for years and years - the only other song he had worked on directly since 2015 was Jopping. He clearly saw something in Loona (that Orbits had been seeing for a few years already).
Also, Loona's members' solo singles are really good too, Eclipse is a must watch too :D
Yes, So What's bridge is so iconic!
STAN LOONA
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 😳
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.
The pretty blonde girl in butterfly is same as the girl doing the background vocals in so what and is the same beautiful girl ar 14:43 in why not.
She is Jinsoul.
Ho ho hooooo. Loona!! You'll def LOVE their solo MVs. Balads and unique songs. Keep giving them love.
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.
Omg you mentioned Choerry and she's my fav!!!
Thank u for reacting to LOONA ♡
Thank you for reacting to more LOONA!! Hope to see their solo and subunit songs in the future!
The last title track missing is Hi High but Favourite was also the lead track for that release and it's a song I recommend. An interesting fact is that the members were indeed presented one at the time with well crafted solo and sub-unit projects and from those releases I highly recommend Kim Lip's Ecplise, Jinsoul's Singing In The Rain, and Yves' New. I personally don't love Heart Attack by Chuu but the song has really good vocals in it. The videos are all good tho and very different too to reflect the different vibes, style and colors each member brings to Loona.
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 :)
4:23 Butterfly. Hits. Hard. Every. Single. Time.
I'm so glad you liked Loona! I would definitely watch you react to all their solos and subunits. I think you'll really like the Odd Eye Circle subunit
IM SO GLAD U DECIDED TO WATCH MORE LOONA! the vocals in the back of so what is jinsoul (she was the blonde one in butterfly), they have this performance in immortal songs, and u can listen to their vocals more clearly~~
the four girls dancing in why not? was olivia hye (the deep voice u liked it in butterfly), choerry (purple haired girl), yves and chuu.
MY REC FOR FUTURE REACTS: singing in the rain (jinsoul), love cherry motion (choerry), eclipse (kim lip).
u can watch the solos in order (has a playlist with them) but i think the ones you will like the most are from their sub-unit ODD EYE CIRCLE, they are very unique and more your style! im so so happy u enjoyed, i hope u keep watching them.
and the reason why in all mvs are scenes of random girls is actually a beautiful message by loona cuz they say we all are "loonas" around the world (girls stuck in a world who can unite and make a difference like a small flap of the wings of a butterfly which can became a hurricane)
i've been waiting for this video since the day i subscribed to your channel! i'm glad you finally reacted to my ultimate group :D
yes please check out their solos in order, they really help with learning the members' names!
that high voice in the chorus was layered with a pitched up voice
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.
LOONA's discography is *chefs kiss* i hope you can also react to their solo and sub unit stuff!!
IMO Loona has one of the best discographies in Kpop of their generation! Like from the solos, to subunits, to group songs all bangers!!!! I get why people used to spam comments with #stanLoona
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
OH it would be intresting if you react to their debuts! Because the company debuted them each individually with their own song and mv, it was like debut of 4 members, and then a mini album for that sub unit, then the a few more solos, and then the mvs for that unit, it's a really cool concept that I think will let you know the girls vibes more!
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!
You can't just drop this on meeee. So ready for this journey!
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!!!
you'll really like the odd eye circle sub-unit and their solos (jinsoul, choerry and kim lip)
If you want to know about some of the story, watch "Avengers of Kpop" it is about Loona from the solo's on...
1:50 oh you're gonna love Digipedi, their music videos are incredible when it comes to cinematic ones I don't think there's a better production team
the solos and subunits are all great as well.. also loona has some amazing ass dance covers too
Dude the timing.. cause I recently got back into loona after retiring as a hardcore orbit for a while
Maybe it's still a bit early but if you ever feel like wanting to know more about the group, the girls and their music, I recommend the guide "The Avengers of K-pop: the history of loona". Even though it's a bit old now, it's still verry good for a first introduction
A more recent one would be "what you missed : a complete guide to loona into 2021"
the purple hair girl “choerry” has an amazing voice i would suggest to listen to “chaotic” by odd eye circle (loona subunit) her vocal is crazy
