![ONEUS(원어스) _ LIT(가자) [KOREAN REACTION]](/img/1.gif)
Sorry for the reupload guys! I found some crucial mistakes in the video that needed to be fixed. I was happy about the views because I did not expect that much, but now they're all gone... :((( help me out and plz just turn the video on play for a while! Thank you!!!
Hahaha, we got your back. It's all good. :)
Wow! It's pretty funny to me 😂🤣
I’m gonna rewatch this 20 more times just for u David
we demand another apology video, and Danny has to say sorry, too, just because.
@@a.ashley5292 brUv 😂
The level of detail and Korean traditional references in this MV is overdose. Even the ending scene's lighting is placed RED/BLUE like the Korean flag, with the white clothes. The song is LIT, MV is LIT.
+) If you like to learn about the traditional aspects of KPOP plz support us on making more of the Explained series at : www.patreon.com/dkdktv
What did i miss? Why are you apologizing?
Same what was amiss in the first vid?
Not that I mind watching it again
Miriam Zimmerman probably calling green blue, at least that’s the theory on other comments.
Hmm now I have to think of Japan where they called the green of the traffic lights blue just because it was the same(word?) to them🤭
ONEUS have in their discography RED Thread, WHITE Night and BLUE Sky... Tomoon stan too korean group lol
Im not korean but I love this song, I love when kpop mixes with korean cultural music/instruments, it’s so special sounding...as a muslims, we also use moon calendar, very interesting.
yess I'm also Muslim btw :)
same!
& im muslim too :)
the Jewish calendar is also lunar :) Jew here!
Una A You don’t have to be korean to love this song.
taehyung's undercut I specified it because it doesn’t have a cultural significance for me as maybe it would a Korean person, but I love it nevertheless....side note: loving ur username 😂
I feel like the “the moon looks beautiful today” also stands for their fans
This is apparently a Japanese saying. I learned it from the show romance is a bonus book. It's an indirect way of saying I love you.
@@muzikk67 i dont think its used that way here. That only works in japanese because like(suki) and moon(tsuki) sounds similar.
Oneus fans are call To Moons, he's probably referring to them indirectly.
Aw.. that's adorable
Thank you, David, this was my favorite of the Explained series! Here are more fun facts that connect this MV to Korean culture and the history of ONEUS:
1- Their fandom is named To Moon - It represents the fans as the "moon" who always orbit ONEUS, represented by "Earth" as you said yourself. It gives even more depth to the initial part "today's moon looks good" (오늘 달이 좋구나), since, besides all the meanings of the moon that you explained, it also represents their fans.
2- The real names of the members are the same names of ancient Korean kings or historical characters (like the poet 동주) so before they were named ONEUS, their CEO thought about calling the group "Kings King" (I think he said "왕 왕" but I can be mistaken - you can see Hwanwoong talking about it in the Weekly Idol episode 412 they participated along with ATEEZ). So you can say that the members dressed as kings/nobles and sitting on the throne - especially on the final scene of the MV - are like an inside joke. xD
And it's not just that either! Leedo's stage name comes from King Sejong of the Joseon dynasty, which is why he's the one who's seen sitting on the throne at the end! As for Ravn, his real name, Youngjo is practically the same as that of another Joseon dynasty king, King Yeongjo! ^^ Which can also be why he's the second one to be seen wearing the most royal-looking clothing ^^
Seriously RBW artists now and puns are just expected. Each release army’s go through the hidden meanings and us moomoos and toomoons go through their jokes and memes lol.
👍👍👍👍👍
This was also my favorite episode
As a Oneus fan and KPOP fan in general,I am so grateful for your channel because you do intensive research and always put in actual examples of where the origins come from,and that's extremely hard work!
The pronunciation of "one earth" in Korean is similar to "oneus"???? Omg this is totally mind blowing. They must've put a lot of thought into this song, or even these US series
IDK but this level of korean traditional culture put in a song makes it super beautiful, i hope oneus continues with this concept.
Thank you for mentioning the BTS thing. I'm an ARMY and BTS will forever be my #1 group, but I was really disappointed when I saw so many people accusing ONEUS of copying "Idol." The idea of "copying" traditional elements of one's own culture is just ridiculous to me. First of all, nobody owns a country's culture. Second, a bunch of other groups did similar things in the past. And third, I find it highly admirable that so many idols incorporate traditional elements into pop music. It's a beautiful celebration of their roots, like I'll never shut up about how amazing it is and how happy it makes me, because I know how excited I get when pop singers from *MY* country include traditional elements into their music. It's just beautiful and deserves all the hype. Much love to ONEUS for doing this, I've been really excited about their music ever since debut and they have yet to disappoint me. All of their songs so far are amazing, I highly recommend listening to their mini-albums if you haven't yet!! :)
They are getting shade because of BTS' "Idol"? Come on...how about affirming them for their attention to their Korean roots?! "We are Korean". Yes. You are...and we love that (otherwise, who would really be watching?). Hwaiting!
You are right: I dont really understand. Come on, this is just so stupid! They have the same concept but at the same time the songs are really different. And to be honest I enjoy listening both Idol and Lit.
I dont think Oneus copied BTS at all.
Whoever claiming that oneus stole bts idol concept must left their brain on the closet...the korean instrument aint own by bts..it their culture so any korean should be free to use as instrument whoever sample let em..why bash other group just because bts use it..oneus is korean as well.many korean artist use it not just bts..
@@marzlee6420 ikr
I'm begging army's to listen to any other fucking band because then they'd know that this concept was done before bts
tf you realize they are korean too right?
Amazing, I'm an Indian but the way I was introduced to the Korean culture through your explanation it felt like I'm in a Korean culture museum and you're the guide. The whole thing was explained really well. I was waiting for this one.
Here...fellow Indian here
This is the first song I heard from Oneus and it was playing on a ad while I was surfing through RUclips. I immediately loved the song and now, thanks to you David, I love it even more with the explanation ❤️ The lyrics in kpop music are so detailed and deep, I love it !
Instead of criticizing oneus for “copying” BTS’ Idol, be happy that they’re being proud of their culture. There’s no way they copied them cause the culture is known to all Koreans
+ the styles of the MVs are completely different. Idol is an overdose of colors and beats, completely owning the stereotypes people have for kpop. Lit is more "subtle" in the way it's produced.
I don’t get it. I don’t think the two videos are anything alike but then again I’m not watching them to try to compare them.
I can't even understand and see how Oneus is copying BTS. Lol does the new fans knew that there were groups that done the same concept before BTS? 😂 The fandom is getting more and more toxic each day yikes, I hope the older ones are staying strong 😂
Honestly, from my perspective, LIT was more rich in culture than Idol was. I really love ONEUS and all their concepts and artistry, and I'm grateful that you explained all of this so well!
Please have an introduction to popular trot songs series. It would be really interesting
I would love that too!!
Yessss, i actually came to really like trog
YES! Not only kpop but other genres as well would be really interesting!
I'd love that so much. This is the 2nd reference they make to 님과 함께, which is one of my favorite trot songs out there. Besides some idols like Daesung and Super Junior also tried their luck with Trot a couple of years ago.
I hope they do that, I wanted to introduce Trot music to my friends and I didn't where to start.
I got this notif and I was so confused lol
Me too
I thought they got cancelled again
@@aninditakinanti9779 lol 😂😂
same
The title is what brought me here hahaha I was a little confused
as a foreigner, it was really nice to see a sorta full in-depth vid on oneus lit to see all the aspects of traditional Korean culture they put into the song and the mv!
actually, i think the moon part is a "joke" to us, their fans who are called "to moons", so they are talking about us too!
Well done man! You not only focused on this album's title track,but also incorporated the connection of the previous albums!
Saw the title and thought someone got cancelled again😅
HiiRina Danny got reduced to someone lol
I thought they got hacked 😂😅 since they always get canceled I thought it might switch up a bit lol
same
The word " *URSU* " is very similar to the Italian " *ORSÙ* ", which is an old way of saying "come on/come now", an exhortation or way of encouragement. Fascinating how similar two utterly different languages on opposite sides of the world can be 🤩
PS. I am totally watching this tenfold to help give you guys the same views as the original video with 100% total watch time! 😉
I don’t know if I’m imagining things, but I see a lot of similarities in the Korean folk culture and southern Indian folk culture.. and it’s getting me so excited learning more about..
In history, there was a lot of trade and cultural exchange between ancient Korea and Tamil merchant kings. You can even see similarities in some Tamil and Korean words!
I’m not even two minutes into the video and already I’m blown away by all the information and attention to detail. Good job, David 👏 👏 👏
Wow. I'm just fascinated. I really like it when a song: the lyrics, the instruments, altogether with the MV has such a deep, meaningful, not 'in your face' story behind it. I'm not ONEUS fan, but since the first listen I already liked this song. Now I know the meaning behind it, 'Lit' has become one of my fav K-Pop song.
Also, I hope other fandoms don't start a war and accuse them with plagiarism. As you said, Korean traditional sounds are not owned by any artists. Actually, any type of sounds/music style.
What matters are how these artists/musicians incorporate these sounds and create their own musics. Although you might find the song a bit similar with the other song, doesn't mean one is copying the other.
Let's just say, they share the same concept.
THE TITLE PLS. SO CUTE :( ❤
What did it say?
@@celine5783 "I mess up. I beg you. Pretty please watch this one more time. Sorry"
I am almost on tears 😭 with all this explanation. So happy with so many meanings of the symbols from the Korean Traditional Cultural.
I didnt know before that this song represented Korea well from the song and the elements in the music video. wow, this gives me goosebumps. I think I like them more, I think Korean people should be proud to see this. everything is about korea
I actually thought the apologies series started again lol😂
Same😂
samee
*Is the unexpected sequel!*
I don't know why I'm not even surprised if it was hhshs
@@nicollesingco2021 skjks I thought someone got cancelled 🤡
Korean history into kpop. Great way to show korean culture! 👌😆
wow after watching your explanation it's like the song became a lot more meaningful, it's really nice how they incorporated all those elements into the song and it's cool to also get to know more about korean culture. i guess this is my favorite oneus' title track so far, love it
I see....this one has even more explanations of references...wow.
It would be amazing seeing this live at an award show but they go full traditional band and include Onewe on some of the instruments.
Watch Oneus Lit version in Road to Kingdom...
*literally one of the best explanation videos ever,it's just perfect*
한국인이라서 비교적 당연하게 지나쳤던 부분들도 차근차근 자세하게 짚어주셔서 다시금 새롭게 보이네요!
단순히 차용된 전통적 요소들 뿐 아니라 원어스라는 그룹 자체의 컨셉과 메시지까지 이해하고 연결지어 설명해주신 점에 정말 감탄했습니다😭
원으로 모여라-강강술래, 흰색 의상-백의민족 같은 레퍼런스는 뮤직비디오를 수도 없이 본 저도 생각 못했는데 정말 문화에 대한 지식의 깊이가 남다르시네요 ㄷㄷㄷ
원어스 좋게 봐주시고 유익하고 좋은 영상 만들어주셔서 정말 감사드려요!!
loved this song sooooo much. its traditional, cultural instrument keeps it very fresh. i am now a new fan of their group
I love when even MVs are educational and LIT like this!! Well done to ONEUS and thank you for explaining!!!
Thank you David! Me and my K-pop BFFs have been following Oneus since their debut. Your explanation video was excellent. I think Korean culture and history is interesting.
Though I watched it carefully yesterday, I’ll watch it again trying to catch what is different 😂
And I'm here again after Oneus amazing performance in Road To Kingdom
wow. no idea this music video had so much meaning behind it
I watched the m/v and was very curious about all the references they were making so ofc, I searched for this video. As someone who loves historical dramas as well, this was very educational and helped me understand what I was watching/listening to even better so thank you!
Gotta be honest, when listening to BTS - Idol and other groups that may used Korean traditional culture & music within, I'm unaware with those!
ONEUS - LIT is directly able to give me the PERFECT combo of Korean traditional and modern music like other songs I listened to (mostly Chinese songs). Even I didn't understand a word and the meaning of the lyrics behind, I do get the feeling that this is a FESTIVE music. A festival song for a celebration. Strangely, I don't why I'm so obsessed with the moon related even I'm unaware in the beginning... And that's make me a TO MOON
HOPE ONEUS get more recognition.
Thank you for making this video!! 정말 감사합니다🙏🙏
After watching this, I really respect to Ravn who anticipated in the lyrics writing for this song. He really did a good job!!
Okay I’ll watch it again but only because you asked nicely
THANK YOU FOR THIS😍 I was reading the captions for the song and knew I was missing something(a lot of things😂).
Can we have a DKDKTV reaction to ONEUS performing LIT on Road To Kingdom? The performance was superb you'd actually think it's a MAMA performance!
Thank you SO much!!! I was hoping that you would make an explanatory video about this masterpiece, and you did!!! I love when today's artists/idols mix modern music with traditional music and other traditional contents, it's just so magical!! And to me, ONEUS did a very great job doing so!!
Thank you again for always sharing great content, I've been following your channel for over a year now and I love your work!!! Keep it up :D !!!
(PS : Sorry if my English sounds weird it's not my native language, I speak french ^^)
I'm not korean but I really love when they mix the korean culture into their songs. It feels really nice to know that they're doing something that's really theirs, you know? Also, I think the culture it's really nice and I like to know more about it and it's a good way to know more about it through music. They did a great job in this comeback!
Sees sorry in the title.
Oops gotta run 🏃
Oof so there was a mistake thats what the sorry was for lmaoooo
I thought there was going to be another of one of those dramatic sorry vids my bad 💜 💜💜💜💜💜💜
this video is so well-explained, im learning both korean culture and oneus' concept. you really did your research!!
이 노래 듣고 보는데 정말정말 한국적인 요소가 많이 들어가 있어서 외국인들이 관련 영상을 찾아보는 재미가 있겠다 싶은 한편 정리 영상이 나오지 않을까 했는데 여기 있네요! ㅎㅎ 한국 문화 전파에 힘써주시니 감사합니다♡
“Something cute”
**girl screaching her lungs out**
Thank you Danny, I think ONEUS is the 4th generation K-pop group. They have it all. So proud of them.
it's funny how oneus's real names are noble names kdhdjsks rbw ilysm
Honestly, these explanation videos are always so insightful and enjoyable to watch. The song is already amazing and so good to listen to, and the explanations give us more understanding about the lyrics as well as promote the Korean culture! All of ONEUS' songs are amazing, and as someone who's not Korean, this song just gets easily stuck in my head all day.
Hahahaha I love how you used that epic scene from Iron Empress & jeon woo-chi the Taoist Wizard. I loved those drama you even mentioned Hong Gil Don damn
The title had me curious and concerned. I was like, “ Oh no what happened!”
Guys, you're killing it with this serie, I really, really, REALLY love it! This is my fave MV from ONEUS so far, I appreciate all the cultural references
Thank you for this video!
Hey DKDKTV, just leaving a comment to help you finesse the RUclips algorithm
I literally watched this last night and that's why (title was changed XD) I couldn't search it until I go to your channel... again 'THANK U' for featuring ONEUS - LIT(my newest addiction)... I believe that this song deserves to be listened by more people and this will be a great opportunity for them to be recognized cause they basically make great music as a rookie group... not to mention that the message and mv behind this song is deep and very meaningful to the korean culture & history so I can say that this is a helpful educational vid for us-- foreigners...
LMAOO that’s so cute, it’s okay we will share it everywhere for you. Btw, outstanding research done for this video with the links to previous albums and other things
Thank you for this✨thanks to you I discovered a lot of things about korean culture😍and i love Oneus👑
Wow that was amazing. Awesome video, thank you so much!!!
Such an informative video! I learned a lot and can appreciate the song much more now!
When they made this mv i was like "this is SO Korean culture" and waited for your video. Only now I see that you made it 😂 thank you ❤️
와..이렇게 설명해주니 너무좋네요
다른 리액션영상에서 제대로 모르고 막말(?)하는거 보고 상처받고왔는데..그분이 이 영상 보셨으면 좋겠어요
'좋아요' 천만개주고 싶어요♡
잘 보고갑니다 감사해요~
This song is on my playlist on repeat. For me, the best song of 2019 from bgs.
And thank you for this explanation video. Watching MV after this explain video, is interesting. ;)
Also love this song because it is full in korean :)
Once again, thanks.
now i want luna explained
Thank you for this video. I found the historical connections in the song fascinating. I love the song more now!
this video just 'LIT' up my lesson planning for Korean class "culture time". MUJI GOHMABS!
This deserves to be watched again !!
Honestly the explained series is my favourite out of all the videos you do! My friend and I had already said we hoped you would make one when we saw this MV!! I really enjoy learning and understanding the cultural references in the lyrics and video.
I didn’t know this group, but I loved this video! You guys are the best for sharing these type of information.
Thank you for the explanation, I love your way to dissect the references, and you also do a good research on the groups, even the ones you don't stan, thats why the quality of your videos are always top notch❤️
Also, about the moon, they are also referring to the fandom, To Moon, but in korean they often call us 달님 or 달님들 so yeah they are pretty much talking about us as well 😆
Of course I'll watch it again, it was the best video you guys have made in quite a while and I love supporting you guys :)
Congratulations and thank you (from Australia) for your wonderfully sharp and entertaining explanations and edits. Great work!
This is soo interesting and educating! Integrating traditional culture into contemporary music results in a refreshing piece. It's like experiencing part of Korea without being there. It gets attention! I could watch this MV over and over. ONEUS has created art! BTS did something like this in a few of their pieces, too. I hope creations like this continue on.
Looool i'll watch it again since I like the song and obviously your videos
This is why I love your channel!!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thanks for the explanation. It really increases the appreciation of how well-written and produced this song is. From the music, the lyrics, and the choreo as well
Edit : Oh, and thank you for having a Song So Hee video in there :D
Thank you so very much for explaining,I haven't seen anyone trying to do that. I enjoyed your video very much.
5:10 i just realised oneus mentioned this in their kingdom performance i-
I’m confused why was everyone worried when they saw the notification
It absolutely blows my mind how Oneus is not more famous. And they’re not even nominated for MAMA this year >:/
Wow!! OneUs boyz are really amazing
I am mind blown now
Thank you guys for the explanation series. I am a Romanian part of a Samulnori team here in Romania. I absolutely loved your explanation regarding the more traditional side, expecialy Samulnori (as well as the one from Idol) and enjoyed Oneus video with all the traditional references as well
Thank you for the education 💯
Thank you for clearing that. I'm tired of twitter armys claiming oneus copied bts !
thank you for this video. STAN ONEUS
I LOVE THIS SONG
Honestly this song was the stuff I wanted back when BTS came with Idol...I love this song so much!
Super interesting! Thank you for helping us understand that there is more than beautiful music behind. I love kpop! Also, first time here and a new subscriber.
Thanks a lot for explaining that to us
"But now I understand it's the perfect English title because 1. The song is lit" lmaooo simple math
I wish more groups put out songs using traditional Korean elements.
I needed this video. Thank you so much. Now I'm even more proud of them
