SOME Theoriest believe that why not was also the girls realizing that the loop may potentially be starting over due to all the events that has happened since the butterfly effect in "butterfly"... and coming to terms with that the realization of the star/voice is born....
Please Next Time React to #TWICE I Can't Stop Me Mv. It is a retro pop.
react to LOONA 'Star' MV its in all english, a Bside of this 'midnight 12:00' album
PLEASE DO STAR ALSO PLEASEEEE
“Oh no where’d her shoe go?”
Me: /sigh ...takes out quantum psychics books, brings out a 50 slide ppt presentation on relative theory and sets up a TEDtalk about a Klein bottle and a Möbius strip/ SO IN THE LOONAVERSE-
Relatable
Samedt
Oh lord am I going to regret trying to look it up
@@sianchitchat you gonna enjoy it
Where can I read about that? that sounds like I could lose my brain and love it
love how the entirety of the actual reaction was just
**intense classical & jazz musician confusion**
Kevin: Wait, it's all NCT?
Lee Soo Man: Always has been
The way i screamed lmfao my orbizen ass hahahah
Surprised Kevin knew exactly how NCT sound is and "Why Not" also been touched by Lee Soo Man
🔫👨🚀
hELP
everything is NCT...always-
The crazy frog and hamster dance comparisons 😂
oh my god-
HAHAHAHAHAHA
I can't unhear it now 😭💀
Kinda funny, cause yeojin is singing the di dam di dam part and her representative animal is frog😂 what a coincidence
@@tinatina8999 whoa 🤯
I didn't even think of that
don't worry...to put it in context.... it's like someone who didn't watch any game of thrones episode, watching season 5 episode 1 all of a sudden.
Good analogy. It can be enjoyed but you're a babe lost in the woods.
It’s more like watching the end of of show and then the same actors play in the first episode of the spin off
That's why they should've reacted to their mv's
Can someone please tell me why? Lol I'm so confused, I don't know literally anything about loona and trying to hop on. Is it confusing because the MVs have a "storyline" like Dreamcatcher?
@@caiovinicius5204 ruclips.net/video/a-dHXpi5cK8/видео.html&ab_channel=TheAsianTheory
Sam : that's weird. she was on the ceiling.
Raffi : *laughs* yes.
Sam : that's...
Raffi : common talent.
HHAHAHHAAHH
What else did y’all expect from a bat🙄
^^
6:15 the unsettling feeling is probably intentional, loona have mastered the art of "songs with an unsettling feeling to hint that something is about to happen in the loonaverse" 😂
from my interpretation, the beeping in the background is to hint at the cinderella thing. the "di da dam di dam di dam", "oh la la, why not?" is careless, carefree singing. the song hits the climax, it's past midnight, everyone is still dancing and the beeping gets more intense to hint that it's way past midnight but they don't care. there's something left unfinished after 'why not?' and the song matches it, i think their songs always match their loonaverse storyline and that's definitely something unique in kpop
The beeping sounds at the end sound like SOS in morse code. I think that's why I feel anxious towards the end of the song with their happy faces but the storm coming in and all of the happy vs dark images.
It's cool to everyone know that one of the producers of the song produced the bohemian rhapsody of the kpop aka I Got A Boy by SNSD, and another 2 strange songs that-I-love-a-lot-but-not-everyone-thinks-the-same that it's Happiness by Red Velvet and Wolf by EXO.
Honestly that makes a lot of sense, especially the gg songs
Yes. His name is Will Simms.
Honestly that explains a lot, I knew he produced IGAB but not Happiness and Wolf, all these songs I adore for their strangest that isn’t so strange that it doesn’t work together.
I always tend to gravitate towards songs people don't like so you're not alone friend 😊
Happiness is a bless
why is no one talking about 15:16 when kevin plays the bridge and they skip 4, meaning yeojin, and that's exactly the scene where she is being left out on earth! I'm shocked
Oh my god you're right!!!!!
omg
hi I'm from twitter
@@elisathirah360 me too!!!
@@dava7 spare the link lol
"I feel like Im being hypnotized" thats exactly how I fell when I listen for the 1st time lol
Oh wow I never noticed the Di Da Dum Di Dum at the end changing notes in the last chorus, and I still didn't fully hear it until he played it on the piano. And yes, the Crazy Frog similarity is so true LOL
...and isn't it yeojin's voice in the chorus ??? yeojin's animal is a frog....omg
As kevin mentioned, I only hear it at the first end melody, the rest is the same like other chorus
Really? It was so obvious, the chords change to a descending "line cliche" like in the prechorus
Seriously ? I heard it on the first listen, that's actually my favorite part of the song 😁
@@serendestiny7574 Haha yeah normally I catch these things but I must have been distracted by other parts of the song 😅
The people in the denim jacket and yellow pullover are so interesting to listen to and it's fantastic how they immediately understood what was happening
The editing on this video is soooooooooooooooooooo good
it was the chipmunk nightcore edit that did it for me lmfao !
@@smizey 🤣
yes!
DID ANY ORBIT GOT A THEORY WITH THE CINDERELLA AND 12:00 AND THE SHOE MISSING, I DIDNT EVEN THOUGHT OF THAT UNTIL SHE SAID IT
Yes. It's in the description of the mv lol. Star also had sleeping beauty's concept. Loona is adding a new dimension in the lore with known fairytales.
Jesse James Pigon oh so I’m just dumb
I got the Cinderella bit with the first farmer teaser after they've justed posted the Midnight Festival poster with the famcy dresses.......
@@chicobiblia666 you're not dumb, many people barely read the description, and even if you read it, in no way does that make you or anyone dumb. 😊
SAME
All the people who reacting "why not" mostly confused, but because of this song im into loona now and heejin of course
lanjutkeun 😂
yeah, tapi mbak cupang kalo aku
Duh biasnya sama, padahal lagu loona pertama Girl Front walopun gak tau siapa member yg nyanyi pas mvnya keluar. Tapi yg buat stan Loona ya ini Why Not
@@KiGeprak Gw masih susah mau milih mbak cupang atau mbak burung hantu.
@@DramaLanna Gw udah dengerin loona dari pertama Heejin debut MV nya release, gw dengerin semua satu" tiap MV nya keluar. Begitu OEC Girl Front release langsung gw download albumnya dan egk ada satu pun lagu yang egk enak, sampe sekarang dari semua sub unit masih OEC paling kena dihati
Dam Di Dam Di Dam - Yeojin - Frog - Crazy Frog. Mind = Blown
I love when Kevin goes to piano to explain things
yeah.. same
Yes!
ikr
5:30 I just LOVE the _"baby~ where your shoe at?"_ 😂😂
"Why Not?" is honestly a track so far out of my comfort zone for music. It's so odd that I'm obsessed with listening to it now. At the moment, hi high and why not are tied for my favorite loona title track.
That Clave discussion was sooooooooo insightful.
One of the last statements the reactors made " I can't believe this doesn't annoy me" was exactly how I felt about it the first time I heard it. I was so intrigued I had to keep listening and ended up loving the song a lot. It's not my usual speed and from the 12:00 album I definitely vibe more with Voice/Star, Universe and Fall Again but Why Not is still something special.
i love how, in their confusion, they accidentally get some parts of the loonaverse right lmaoooo
7:30 I LAUGHED SO HARD LIKE THE TIMING IS SO ON POINT HAHAHAHAHAHA
therefore i conclude that i will never hear heejin's part the same way again.
It's like that VINE meme with one default song and different videos 😂
it's the crazy frog comparison for me
"LOONA and Crazy Frog should collab"
They did a whole show tune with Yeojin. It was great.
Cloud pointing out the AUDACITY of the "woah woah woah" part - YES that part is so 🔥
This happened once before... I just remembered what happened with "I got a boy" from SNSD. Same confusion lol
they have the same composer!
@@ailasalarda8788 Omg really!!! Who is it? I wanna listen to more of their stuff, IGAB and Why Not are both in my favorite kpop tracks!!
Because why not produced by Lee Soo Man
Super late reply, but it's Will Simms! He also did Happiness, the Red Velvet song 😍
"I feel like I was hypnotized" fr because of this song I've now become a full stan. LOONAVOODOO methinks....
Actually when I first listening to this song, I was like 'Wow what is this?" But after that I keep humming this song everyday lol
I'm with Kevin, i like their "bouncy" (?) songs more
But without you guys pointed it out this song does.. strange and yet so catchy
Its because mono tree left who worked for jaden jeong so that’s why the music has change but star/voice and universe has that sound people consider it as “LOONA’’ if you know what I mean 😂
The song will hit different after watching this video.
The NY bros are easily my new favourite reactors. From the videos they've been in they break down everything in such simple layman way, while being quite informative, and it's so unassuming because...well they look and talk like bros.
this has given me SUCH a new appreciation for the song. upon release, i had complicated feelings as to why i liked it and why i didn't - the reactors put into words all of these thoughts!
PLEASE REACT ABOUT "LOONA-STAR" VS "LOONA-UNIVERSE" 💕
Yeessss plz
YESS PLEASEEEEE
I dont know if they will do it
I know nothing about music, so zero idea if they're musically interesting, but omg yes, Voice/Star and Universe are such great songs, I'd love to see a reaction if you'd like to do it!
@@Missfantasyfreak From my perspective, "Star" and "Universe" although it have the same music instruments and melody, the way they sing with different language and how they sing/pronounce it make the song mood almost different
OMG THE HAMSTER DANCE that was one of those things I knew but totally erased off my head.. until now 😂
Every time I hear that build that Henry was alluding to, I have Shiner’s Lucifer starting to play in my head, and I keep waiting for that Lucifer drop
Omg i KNEW that part of the song sounded familiar 💜🎵😁
It reminded me a lot of SNSD’s “The Boys”, especially that chromaticism
@@davidalesia6881 Dude, I always thought it sounded like an SNSD song but I couldn't figure out why/which one!! Thank you!!!!
What a lovely surprise!
If you didn't know, we have a schedule for all of our reactions!~ docs.google.com/document/d/1uvf-u1EJVB-hmB3IU0P6M-obdMNu11fo_aUIf6dur70/edit?usp=sharing
(unless you prefer to stay surprised haha)
@@ReacttotheK thanks! I do happen to like being surprised ♡ but I also appreciate the ability to check the schedule.
6:16 when he said it was unsettling and wrong mood, i agreed so hard but to me it was unsettling because the song near that final chorus gives the vibe that even though it's really bright and fun, it just SOUNDS like it's missing something. maybe it's a loonaverse vibe but its gives a creepy vibe idk
"The duality of feminism" and then the conversation about the inclusion of black women made me so happy, Loona's music and concept is so nice. I'm not into all the lore and the "loonaverse" and all that, but I really love how they care about representing women around the world and how they say Loona is all the women in the world, not just them. They really feel like a girl group built for women, and all women at that.
I’ve listened to “Why Not” so much that I forgot it’s such a crazy song!!! LOLLL
so true lol
Trueeee lol
OHMYGOD IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO SO LONG
imagine having them watch this and than star its crazy how different it is
ok whoever did the editing needs a raise bc i am sobbing at the “wow this chorus is a vibe” @ around 2:55ish 💀💀💀💀😭😭😂
Thank you hehe 🙏 This video was an absolute blast to edit! -Umu
All these reactions = me when I first heard Why Not
Trust me, after numerous playbacks, it got so addictive!!
It even topped my most played songs since October 2020 #RealBop
WHEN ONE OF THE GIRLS SAID CINDERALLA SHE ACTUALLY MAY BE ON TO SOMETHING
"sounds like a crazy frog" the voice in di da dam di dam is Yeojin and her representation animal is frog lol mind blowing
I remember being mind blown when I realised their vocal third is lower in the final chorus (by singing it myself lol) and I'm so glad this was mentioned here cause I had no clue how to phrase it!!! it takes a few listens of this song to fully appreciate it imo
15:57 Zero Colors made a meme of that with LOONA dont worry we also think its the same XD
i was just thinking about you all reacting to this.
Me too and i searched throught their will not be reacting playlist, all of the b side was there but no why not and i'm just kinda figure out that they will be reacting to why not
when he said "as soon as you get used to a new sound, theyve moved onto something else" thats so right on about them even beyond just this track, i think we are going to get something soo different again next comeback and i cant waitt
The guys at 9:00 were really interesting !
"this loona? is this nct 127 oaaaa" he know...its obvious.. literally sm sounds not monotree and others
Those Kevin's bad puns make everything way better, ALSO - OH MEIN GOTT, THANK YOU FOR REACTING TO LOONA!
4:09 he just said it sounds like Crazy frog, what a coincidence cause the one who sings is Yeoyin and Yeoyin animal is a Frog xd
I love the millennial energy of bringing up Crazy Frog and the Hamster Dance
Owen and Kevin are my favourite pairing. I feel like they always have the most understandable commentary. Not only do I appreciate their knowledge, but also the manner in which they speak about what they're hearing.
From the MV description : The titled track ‘Why Not?’ is an uptempo electronic pop song, with a story of pursuing freedom and individualistic self [you read until this to them, not sure if you read the rest to them]. The funky and bubbly bass line reminiscent of the Midnight Festival is impressive. The key change in the song, which started with a charismatic introduction, from the chorus to the witty major, it resembles LOOΠΔ who is about to change. [Great reactions!!! I love this channel's reactions]
이 노래를 이렇게 인정해주는 리액션 영상은 여기밖에 없어서 why not 생각날때마다 옵니다 ㅜㅜ
The editing is getting better each day 🤩🤩🤩🤩 and Loona + RTTK = I'm always here for it.
I don't keep up with the release schedule, so this was a pleasant surprise! Always love seeing LOONA reactions.
It's so interesting to get musicians perspective on this song because it's so great I don't have any idea but my brain LOVES this song. So I loved hearing their thoughts. And yes it's hypnotising
i love this editing lmaooo also it really does give crazy frog and hamster dance vibes
I just want to understand how Kevin knows everything!!!
Thank you for everything y'all do! I really enjoy this channel and I'm always learning something new!
Cloud was a whole a*s mood in this video! The edit golden, Umu !!! Also, i was one of those people that didn't like the happy damdi damdi chorus, but after many relistens, this is my jam
Im ready to sleep not until i saw this on my notif! Ahhh loonaaaa
I agree with Kevin. As much as I love Butterfly and So What, at least for me, i have to be in a specific mood to listen to them but Hi High and now Why Not are so bouncy and easily digestible in comparison. Though it has it's own strange elements, it's still fun and exciting to experience over and over again and i truly missed that from Loona. It also vaguely reminds me of some of their predebut stuff.
i always thought there was something off about that final chorus and i couldn't quite put my finger on it, because i know next to nothing about music. i just knew that the instrumental had changed in some way, and i only realized after watching this that it's because it switched to a minor. i never thought of it as unnerving, just sounded kind of ethereal to me but now that you mention it, it does feel a little uncanny and i love it! i've always liked music that's just a little weird, not in your face chaos but something very subtle that makes you feel something indescribable.
i’ve been waiting for this for so long. omg thank you guys 💕💕
THE RHYTHM STACKING!!!!!!! HOLYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEIR MINDS!!! STAN LOONA
the guys who made the ceiling comment TOOK ME OUT IM CRYIBG
Was fun watching you guys dissect this one! It's awesome how excited and determined y'all were to pick it apart, even while being caught a little bit off balance.
i love how everyone in the intro of these videos look oddly awkward and confident at the same time
Recently I have seen many... opinions about "Why Not?" so it's good to get a confirmation as a person with knowledge. Thanks reacttothek (the whole team). The song is not easy but if you are in it it's weird in a good way.
y’all don’t know how long I’ve been waiting for this reaction!!! thank you for this
"Why does it end there!?" That's exactly what I said the first half-dozen times I heard this song! :-D
"whoaa that is production"
In my opinion, Why Not? Is ok but I prefer Star. The best b-side Loona deserves it!
AMEN
best b side ? Rah you must be out of ur mind
@@jarv1sman perhaps they meant best Loona b-side. Which is still debatable cause they have so many good ones!
@@jarv1sman how about you?
@@jarv1sman We like it, You may not like it. But we do, so idk... you're weird.
I love that extra punch in the very last dum di dums. It’s my favorite part. It’s either what you all said about it going minor or the added synths. It just makes it feel so trippy and a bit dark! It went so well with the music video effects.
Very cool how they got caught up on different sections of the song, really shows how Why Not is a trip
WHY NOT IS A MASTERPIECE AND LOONA’S SECOND BEST TITLE TRACK AFTER SO WHAT IDCCCC
SAAAAAAAME!!!!!
this song is pure sugar crack energy drink caffeine after the bridge CMOOONNNNN inject some more of that into my veins
ITS FINALLY HEREEE OMG
love this episode, full of knowledge from the Jazz pair and the perfect pitch pair. This even comes with a second listen
not loona related but owen is.... cute
_Starlight straight with you shining in my mind uwaaaa_
_Shine out light all through the night close to me you're all of me_
....Yup 🥺
can someone pls tell me owen's social media acc :(
@@rance2422 probably in the description box
RIGHT
Omg, the Hamster dance brought out memories I didn't know I had 👀
YASSSSS , BEEN WAITING FOR IT. i mean y'all better STAN LOONA FOR A GOOD GRADE lmao
I'd listen to any ad read if Owen was selling it honestly. I mean I wouldn't necessarily buy the thing, but I'd really enjoy watching him try his best to make me
how have i not watched this video before???? the way they all comment about the music and the video after watching it... it really feels like i’m watching a documentary or something. you are all doing an amazing job with the videos!
now i can't stop thinking about crazy frog
The fact he compared the di dam di dum to crazy frog
and that part sampled Yeojin's voice
and her animal is a frog
Full circle
I think i understood more about the music theory than the mv itself, and i know nothing about music theory lol
i got chills on the piano part, great video! loona is amazing, no other group do like them
i remember when the 12:00 mini (sadly) got leaked and everyone on orbit twitter was going mad then someone said "it sounds like the hamster dance but cvntier" and it just clicked when everyone heard it. that's history
5:38 me the first time I watched this MV 😂
I remember when this song was leaked on Twitter and orbits who heard the song gave as a clue the hamster song "but even better"
There's never a boring day on orbit Twitter
That one guy thinking more of Choerry on the ceiling and Hyunjin losing her shoe. The midnight Cinderella was spot on.
4:01 the editing omg i can't 😂😂
lmafyddbdidn
so few of you knowing the hamster dance and crazy frog both surprised and horrified me , iconic memes of the early 2000s!
