The thing is with Chuu is that she's such a genuine person that the song evoking a feeling of hope feels very real and appropriate. The cheesy lines work simply because, well, it's Chuu!
I always associate Chuu's voice with the word "sincerity". She has that ability to make people believe in what she's singing. It doesn't have to be high notes or crazy vocal skills but she knows exactly how to make us immersed into her songs
I think the fact that she didn't put on a cute accent to sing also helped the song to not feel cheesy at all. Chuu has a bright voice but it's also very mature and though she is a cutie patootie it still sounds very adult
I'm a newcomer for Chuu, reading about her fights post-Loona. Let me tell You this - Strawberry Rush gives a truly "I'm free" vibes, which causes the smile to appear on face, like it or not. It's a masterpiece. Simple as that. 😊
Chuu has pretty much said exactly that. Her re-debut songs "Underwater" and "Howl" reflected the struggles she went through during the fight with BlockBerry Creative, but since her re-debut and US tour were successful (and her legal fight with BlockBerry is over at last, with the South Korean Supreme Court declining BlockBerry's final appeal), she feels like a huge weight was lifted from her shoulders and she wanted to showcase the bright energy she is so known for.
Chuu is my favorite idol. Maybe even my favorite "celebrity" on earth. I'm so happy she's thriving. She makes us all smile, no matter what we're going through. I hope she makes tons of money and does everything she wants in life. She deserves it.
I'm so stoked!!!! Literally all 12 girls love what they do so much they're all still giving their all under companies that so far seem to wholeheartedly support them, I couldn't be happier with this outcome after everything they went through the only thing better would be all 12 girls being able to do this under one label and still promote together
You're the only person I've seen that loves Chuu's solo discography as me! I'm absolutely in love with everything she's put out since her debut, both EPs are some of my favorite in kpop.
your reaction had me moved at the end ngl, that tear in MY eye wasn't figurative lmao. I loved Howl so so much but Chuu genuinely (and kindly) knocked me on my ass with Strawberry Rush. It just IS hope. It's like your imaginary childhood friend come alive, grabbing your hand and dragging you along for the ride. It dragged me to my kid self and told her everything would be fine. Heck, it told the me NOW that everything would be fine. Could rant on and on how much I adore this song. Definitely agree with that 13/10!!
29:40. Could not agree more. ARTMS made me feel like I was experiencing Loona again for the first time, that debut exceeded my expectations, and then Chuu took it a step further. I couldn't place it til you mentioned it, but hope is exactly the feeling the song brings. It's absolutely amazing, and even after probably 100 listens, it still brings that tear to my eye. I live for songs like this.
i think the hope, yearning, excitement of Strawberry Rush (and her solos overall) it reflects so much love bcs you can feel her loving the songs, the lyrics, the album, you feel her team also loving it and loving her mostly that you cannot help but feel it too when you listen to it
28:09 - Just to make it clear for others… last time I remember JaeHyuk PD gave something 13/10 was Love Never Dies mini album by The New Six… And this dude had that mini album on replay 24/7/365… So giving Stawberry Rush the same score means truly a lot! I keep my words for the listening party, but I will just say this… In December 2023 I started to listen to the Howl mini album quite a lot. Half a year came by and that EP became my before falling asleep music on nearly every day basis!! So I was fvcking nervous to have my expectations TOO HIGH for this… And truly… Chuu Can Do It!! Strawberry Rush lived up to that hype!!
Literally brings a figurative tear to my eyes too! Chuu is my (ironically) one and only true bias, and this was like taking a trip into her brain! You can tell she's having the best time of her life in every single shot and that translates! ❤ I'd love to know your other 13's!
I remember that in howl, the video was showing chuu's journey in a very cinematic and dark way to show her going out in the world while still being scared and anxious but realising that she will never be alone. In strawberry rush I kinda feel like she found a way to enjoy the world and finding it like a game and she is trying to get us to go with her. I feel like the video is trying to tell us to follow her and have fun with her because there is nothing to be worried about because she will protect us. That's my opinion but i felt deeply moved by how the video was shot and how the song was produced. It made me feel like i can do anything
Someone mentioned the 12 on Chuus jersey in the MV and how it reminds them of Loona and she liked the comment!! so a reference to Heart Attack is very possible!!
The 12 on her shirt must be a Loona reference 🩷🥹 There's "orbit" in the lyrics too but I'm not sure if that is meant to be a reference. Definitely made me feel happy though 🩷
FoT : "I mean, if you're watching this reaction, you've definitely already heard CHUU's EP" Me : YOU BET !!! But I'm also here to see that smile on your face, the same smile as the ones "who are watching this reaction and have definitely already heard CHUU's EP" ❤
Love this reaction to Chuu! I don't know if you react to performance videos, but I would recommend Chuu's Strawberry Rush performance video. The choreo is so cute in an unexpected way.
This comeback was sooo goooood. It makes me so happy to see that her team cares enough to produce such a good song, to make such a high quality MV, to put so much effort and creativity and LOVE into everything. The lyrics are perfect and remind me of Chuu's quote during all the legal trouble with BBC, when she said she would protect Loona, Orbits & everything she cares about. ❤
Chuu is my favorite person ever, not only idol but in general and this song was SO CHUU and I loved it. It's like if a song was Chuu it would be Strawberry Rush. I hope I make myself understand hahaha ❤
i cried at least 5 times during this video. chuu gives us so many emotions and your commentary just made me thik about even more. i loved it. i feel so relieved somehow.
I love Strawberry Rush so soo sooo much. I did not expect to love it this much at all. As from the title, I was thinking of it as a bubblegum pop vibe (I don't usually like/listen to songs in that genre) and I definitely did not expect to give me the same fucking deep emotional feel like Howl did. This song feels like pure hope and love that is so much needed in everyone's life. Such a beautiful friend of a song that will be beside you at all times through everything the life throws at us.
Most cutesy-wootsey kpop content and aegyo is mostly more difficult for me to digest (except for funny moments like Tzuyu’s Pika-Chu clip) - but Chuu brings a smile to my face so naturally with her bright personality, followed by then her voice is so mature and powerful… truly a 1-2 punch KO
A small detail that lots of people might have missed: The sample (kind of an echo-y distorted synth rift at the beginning of Howl can be found again at the beginning of Strawberry rush, pitched up and sped up a bit)
I just had to comment on this. PD’s reaction is so genuine. When I first gave this song I immediately wanted to replay it. Thanks for the amazing reaction PD! All hail Chuu!!🥰
The highest note in this song is F3 sharp. She is very humble about her singing ability. If she were another singer, she would act like a master of singing ability.
The song is unapologetically Optimistic and Hopeful. It's saccharine to the highest level, and it works. People don't realize just how hard it is to do Cute without it feeling cringy and over-the-top. The way Chuu has branded herself, how she markets herself, it's genius. She and her team have been very savvy in how they go about things, because anything she does brings with it a strong sense of likeability and relatability. Oh, and the Superhero Chuu is, she's a Powerpuff Girl grown up!
The scenes of her runnig on the wall are wire work, she was seen doing it melbourne, she also shot insisde a mexican restaurant called "Hotel Jesus". I live near that taqueria, just saw the filming crew tho. She also flimed in the famous grafitti alley called "Hosier Lane"
Every single one of Chuu's solo songs from the howl and SR albums, despite being different genres and atmospheres, gives me the feeling "this is Chuu's identity". She is so much more versatile than some people think, and her voice has a maturity to it...songs like Lucid Dream and Aliens, where we get to hear her deeper mix, and effortless chest voice just leave me in awe. Both of her albums are underrated, imo... orbit twitter in general thinks theyre a bit boring, but I feel like every song was written for me, I just appreciate them all so much. Before Dall, Howl was my favourite post-loona release.
since i had just gotten into kpop at the beginning of 2023, i didn't realize (even after watching your reaction) that Howl and the EP it was released on was her solo debut (I was somewhat aware of the issues that Chuu and Loona in general had with their agency and such), but what you are saying makes a lot of sense and even if I didn't love Chuu's voice, I think would still love her music bc it's just so , idk uplifting or heartwarming in terms of the wall running scene, I watched the behind the scenes video and yes, chuu did do that herself
I was really hoping you were going to react to this. I never followed Loona and only knew Chuu from Insane Quiz Show (with Ilhoon and MJ) and decided to click on her new mv when it randomly popped up in my recommendeds and im really glad I did. This was like if your turned Chuu's personality into a song and mv.
Yep. She was my LOONA bias before all the goings on and always will be. The 'Howl' EP totally blew me away. And this certainly didn't disappoint either. This EP is pure confidence fuel.
Chuu never really stood out to me when she was still a member of Loona. But now that she is a solo artist and has her own RUclips show I can't have enough. She is truly amazing :D
Not the same wall run scene but the leaping part bts showing the wire work (shorts from her channel): /shorts/SFTwCPQ8-gw Strawberry Rush showed the other side of Chuu, someone who is both sensitive and venerable but also people-loving and spreads love.
Chuu could be the next best soloist since Taeyeon and IU. I could genuinely see it. She has the voice and charisma for it. I think her biggest obstacle is going to be the perception the public has of her. Still too many people see her as a variety star as opposed to a singer and then they always act shocked when she blows them away with her vocals. Like... get on with the program!! Too many people not even giving her a chance because they expect so little of someone who they think is simply just an entertainer meant to be funny and cute. The titletrack is *amazing*. I don't necessarily have a favorite between the two titletracks so far, in my opinion, both Howl and Strawberry Rush are spectacular in their own ways and showcase very different sides of Chuu that I find both very appealing to the same extent. However, in my opinion, the debut mini-album itself was significantly stronger than this new mini-album. It wasn't bad, but besides Strawberry Rush, the highs weren't as high.
I agree with PD. I honestly think Chuu had one of the best albums last year. Not debut or title track: album. Every song fit the theme of the album, and every song was great. Saying all that, I feel Strawberry Rush lives up to her previous title. I do think the previous mini album was stronger over all, but in no way am I talking down to the new album. It's just as good with amazing songs, but I do think the themes were stronger last time.
Hands down the best K-pop solo & single，EP so far this year！Chuu beats wendy this time imo. and yes she did the wire work, there's latest BTS videos up there lol she was so cute doing it.

The thing is with Chuu is that she's such a genuine person that the song evoking a feeling of hope feels very real and appropriate. The cheesy lines work simply because, well, it's Chuu!
I always associate Chuu's voice with the word "sincerity". She has that ability to make people believe in what she's singing. It doesn't have to be high notes or crazy vocal skills but she knows exactly how to make us immersed into her songs
I think the fact that she didn't put on a cute accent to sing also helped the song to not feel cheesy at all. Chuu has a bright voice but it's also very mature and though she is a cutie patootie it still sounds very adult
i need her to be iu levels of famous like everything is there: the talent? the visuals? the vocals? the lyricism???? korea wake up!
I'm a newcomer for Chuu, reading about her fights post-Loona. Let me tell You this - Strawberry Rush gives a truly "I'm free" vibes, which causes the smile to appear on face, like it or not. It's a masterpiece. Simple as that. 😊

chuu deserves all the good things in the world fr!!!!
Loona really took over summer this year
Girls night
Loop
Virtual angel
Strawberry rush
Like woah…
I'm so stoked!!!! Literally all 12 girls love what they do so much they're all still giving their all under companies that so far seem to wholeheartedly support them, I couldn't be happier with this outcome after everything they went through the only thing better would be all 12 girls being able to do this under one label and still promote together
and now TTYL releasing on Monday to kick off the autumn season!
Yes, the production and stylization suites her so well and I’m so glad
You're the only person I've seen that loves Chuu's solo discography as me! I'm absolutely in love with everything she's put out since her debut, both EPs are some of my favorite in kpop.
strawberry rush is the quintessential chuu song, it embodies her perfectly as an idol, as an artist, as a person… it hits so hard
I'm taking the friend that introduced me to Loona (back in 2017) to Chuu's fancon in Brazil, next month. This video just made me cry. Thank you, PD.
No one does it like Chuu 🥹🥹❤️❤️🍓🍓
your reaction had me moved at the end ngl, that tear in MY eye wasn't figurative lmao.
I loved Howl so so much but Chuu genuinely (and kindly) knocked me on my ass with Strawberry Rush. It just IS hope. It's like your imaginary childhood friend come alive, grabbing your hand and dragging you along for the ride. It dragged me to my kid self and told her everything would be fine. Heck, it told the me NOW that everything would be fine.
Could rant on and on how much I adore this song. Definitely agree with that 13/10!!
As an Orbit I culdn't be more proud and happy to see our girls doing so great! It feels like a dream.
29:40. Could not agree more. ARTMS made me feel like I was experiencing Loona again for the first time, that debut exceeded my expectations, and then Chuu took it a step further.

I live for songs like this.
I’m obsessed with strawberry rush 😭🍓
Chuu Is Really Just Picked a lot of different ways of playing around with the music and style of her voice and range so much
16:35 behind the scenes video dropped today (7/12), and confirms they did wire work! props to PD for his expertise in knowing this.
i think the hope, yearning, excitement of Strawberry Rush (and her solos overall) it reflects so much love bcs you can feel her loving the songs, the lyrics, the album, you feel her team also loving it and loving her mostly that you cannot help but feel it too when you listen to it

So I was fvcking nervous to have my expectations TOO HIGH for this…
And truly…
Chuu Can Do It!! Strawberry Rush lived up to that hype!!
name reveal 👀👀👀👀
@@BlueStylus 🤔🤔 PD has already mentioned it himself in previous videos

discovered this through your reaction and it is now one of my favorite uplifting kpop song ever
it hits even harder when u remember chuu’s representative fruit in loona was a strawberry 🍓💕🍎
this is my favorite EP this year. outstanding by chuu
Someone mentioned the 12 on Chuus jersey in the MV and how it reminds them of Loona and she liked the comment!! so a reference to Heart Attack is very possible!!
The 12 on her shirt must be a Loona reference 🩷🥹 There's "orbit" in the lyrics too but I'm not sure if that is meant to be a reference. Definitely made me feel happy though 🩷
Not sure if you discovered the answer or if someone else said, but she did do wire work!!! She posted about it on insta
One of my favourite songs this year, already over 500 streams on it, I LOVE IT SO SO SO MUCH!
FoT : "I mean, if you're watching this reaction, you've definitely already heard CHUU's EP"
Me : YOU BET !!!
But I'm also here to see that smile on your face, the same smile as the ones "who are watching this reaction and have definitely already heard CHUU's EP" ❤
I've been waiting for thissss reaction video like foreverrrrrrr❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️✨✨✨ Thank Youuuuuuuuuuuu soooo much ✨✨✨✨✨👏👏👏💪💪💪💪
Love this reaction to Chuu! I don't know if you react to performance videos, but I would recommend Chuu's Strawberry Rush performance video. The choreo is so cute in an unexpected way.

My first reaction was about the same lol. I love chuu
Chuu is probably the only idol that can pull off the whole "positive insanity" vibe so efortless.
This song is song good chuu is underrated her songs are amazing hope she gets more success!
this song was to me what love bomb was to you. smth abt the chorus and the way her tone goes and feels kind of melancholic had me crying
Chuu is my favorite person ever, not only idol but in general and this song was SO CHUU and I loved it. It's like if a song was Chuu it would be Strawberry Rush. I hope I make myself understand hahaha ❤
Im crying so much. First time hearing rhis from waterbomb i had to come and find the mv
i cried at least 5 times during this video. chuu gives us so many emotions and your commentary just made me thik about even more. i loved it. i feel so relieved somehow.
I love Strawberry Rush so soo sooo much. I did not expect to love it this much at all.

I was gonna say…. Heart Attack!? A LOONA reference!?
I love the fun and cute songs with Chuu awesome vocals
This one felt like a Yena track, and that's a good thing.
Most cutesy-wootsey kpop content and aegyo is mostly more difficult for me to digest (except for funny moments like Tzuyu’s Pika-Chu clip) - but Chuu brings a smile to my face so naturally with her bright personality, followed by then her voice is so mature and powerful… truly a 1-2 punch KO
the song is already so good but watching the choreo makes it 100x better
A small detail that lots of people might have missed: The sample (kind of an echo-y distorted synth rift at the beginning of Howl can be found again at the beginning of Strawberry rush, pitched up and sped up a bit)
What do I think about Strawbarry rush? Well I translated the MV into Romanian (my language) and I made a cinematic MV, that's how much I love it.
I just had to comment on this. PD’s reaction is so genuine. When I first gave this song I immediately wanted to replay it. Thanks for the amazing reaction PD! All hail Chuu!!🥰
The song and video are amazing! 🎉 Heard it so many times this summer in convenience stores across Seoul
The highest note in this song is F3 sharp. She is very humble about her singing ability. If she were another singer, she would act like a master of singing ability.
can’t get enough that’s strawberry rush 🍓

That alley looks like Fitzroy/Collingwood (where I work), not Hosier Lane.

Literally my favorite solo KPop song of the year and definitely in my top 10 KPop songs of the year as well
Yep. She was my LOONA bias before all the goings on and always will be. The 'Howl' EP totally blew me away. And this certainly didn't disappoint either. This EP is pure confidence fuel.
i absolutely love this song sm, thanks for reacting to this!!
loona girlie never fail us even if they are seperated and go to different ways with different company/pd
strawberry rush is an adrenaline shot to my veins. she is our human vitamin c,,, OUR VITAMIN CHUU!!!!!!
hahaha first time i listen to this song I feel normal but now I am addicted to this song😊
I literally cried the first time i watched it i don’t know why
Chuu never really stood out to me when she was still a member of Loona. But now that she is a solo artist and has her own RUclips show I can't have enough. She is truly amazing :D

Chuu did use wire-work. Check out her behind-the-scenes vlog.
Great reaction, you got a like from me.
Yes !! CHUU !! 😊❤
Are you going to react to BABYMONSTER- FOREVER MV? Have you heard it?
I agree with PD. I honestly think Chuu had one of the best albums last year. Not debut or title track: album. Every song fit the theme of the album, and every song was great.

Next lee chaeyeon's new song❤❤❤

If I've understood correctly, the monster is the result of motion capture acting by Andy Serkis.
WE ARE SO BACK
Hands down the best K-pop solo & single，EP so far this year！Chuu beats wendy this time imo.
