I had the same thought a while ago! Soooo sure D-1 and Love letter will be her favorite. I also think she'll be one of the few people to have a proper appreciation for Puzzle haha
See this is something I always find strange. People say that New is Soultronica, but every "soultronica" playlist I can find sounds nothing like New (and the genre itself is so obscure I can't find any kind of definition for it). It's definitely unique (though not completely the first of it's sound in korean music, Lim Kim's Upgrader and Puer Kim's Emeralds are examples that predate it, but still probably idol pop), but the song and the songs that sound like it don't really fit "soul + electronica". It's more like an subgenre of 80s-style synthpop that doesn't have a name yet. Makes finding songs with a similar sound incredibly difficult :/
the backing vocals that you liked so much in New's chorus are actually saying "Bite bite bite" which makes a lot more sense when you think about her name being Yves (like Eve) and there being a lot of apple symbolism!
Singing in the rain is probably my favorite solo song, i lose my sh*t everytime i listen to it, can’t wait for you to listen max & match by odd eye circle
Fun fact! Yves (pronounced Eve) only had 3 weeks of training before being picked to debut and Olivia Hye only had 1 day before she started prepping for debut (they already had the music, lyrics and choreography ready)
Yves was part of a hiphop dance crew and before joining BlockBerry she also almost made to Elris final lineup... the 3 weeks is only under BBC.Yeah Olivia joined the company and started preparing for both her solo and yyxy right in the next day but is unclear if she had any sorta of pro training beforehand or her dancing background was purely amateur practice.
@@biazacha She has stated before that she was in a dance academy since she was 6 (thus why she's quite good at dancing) so she has had proper training if u count going to an academy for dance for more than a decade as proper training~
A list of their solo Bsides I think you'd really vibe with: Yves - D-1 Choerry - Puzzle Jinsoul - Love Letter Gowon - See-Saw Olivia Hye - Rosy Kim Lip (Kimberly Lippington) - Twilight Chuu - Girls Talk Ive been so excited to hear you listen to these songs!! LOONA make my ideal style of music too I agree, I've been obsessed ever since I was introduced to them. I love that they have such a broad discography spanning across so many genres so there's something for everyone too. Glad to see you're enjoying them so much it gives me life haha. Egoist is definitely my favourite out of those songs you listened to. 💜
@@hella7361 debateable. That's how it's spelt in Korean, but Yves isn't a traditional Korean name, so korean pronunciation shouldn't apply, however, either pronunciation (eve, ibu) should be acceptable.
you've mentioned on learning their positions. All Loona members have no official positions, just to tell you in advance. They are all main for everything, like main rappers, main vocalists and main dancers. That's cool right!
That is half truth...they have postitions, but not like "Face of group" "Visuals" "Center" - Main/lead rap/vocals/dancer - they have;) Btw Kim Lip isn't a rapper for sure:D she keep away from rapping;P
lore related stuff: for Yves, in the mv it shows a lot of apples and it’s a biblical reference since her name is pronounced Eve and her fruit (the apple) is tempting her to exile from eden. Vivi and Choerry are there in the mv which shows Yves’ connections to them. Yves’ music video is very dark in color but it starts of bright which shows that she wanted to be holy but then gives into her temptations and later tempts the rest of yyxy.
"Who else did I see with an apple?" I know you said you weren't interested in the lore... but on your own, you just discovered a corner of the Loonaverse. Congrats! ;) Next time you listen to this track, pay attention to the voice in the background during the opening and chorus. What exactly is he saying? (Hint: it's not "Life, life, life" - but it is English) If you can't quite get it, just remember the prominence of APPLES in Yves' MV.
btw in yves' song, idk if you noticed, but the voice in the beat is actually saying "bite bite bite" which i find so clever and creative since her entire thing is BITING apples in this mv
On 16:45 its actually a blood plum .. yyxy subunit members have representative Fruits Yves with apples Chuu with strawberry Gowon witg pineapple And Olivia Hye with blood plum. Its their version on the “forbidden fruit” they bite it and something happens to them on the MV :) gonna leave it at that since i know you don’t care for the lore :)
I was kinda hesitant to recommend this since you mentioned RnB is your favorite but hearing your music taste and the way you enjoyed the complexity of Loona's discography I must urge you to listen to Loona 1/3's Sonatine! It's more on their softer side but the instrumentals used in that song makes it absolutely spellbinding! Happy to join you in your Orbit journey! ❤ Been watching your vids since RV's Revefest day 2!
Am i allowed to make kinda like a serious comment? lol just realized something and i think i shouldn't keep it in. basically: one of my bff's is a huge loona stan and she's been trying to get me to stan for the longest time and i didn't seem to be able to fall in love with them but now that you have begin this journey, i feel like: i need to stan like holy crap they're soo goooood wtf. I was like: why? and i think is because the kpop industry is just soo active, like there's always comebacks, new groups and you feel a bit like watching everything sort of involved in this palli palli lifestyle but sometimes you just listen not paying attention and this is what i love the most about fifi's reaction, is like inviting to take the time to listen with her, i love it! and i guess that made a difference this time, i took the time to listen and is hella good! thank u fifi
Wait till she listens to the max and match album from odd eye circle... game over. Also i checked out those songs you recommended and i think i hear the sound you’re talkin about. Its dreamy almost
The first time I listened to Egoist I had goosebumps every 10 seconds, it took me like 20 minutes to listen to it I was constantly pausing because of goosebumps lmao it’s incredible
Loona has some of the best "Dreamlike" sounding song and some of them are my faves ! I think you'll really like : Where you at Uncover Love letter D-1 Rosy Seesaw
also, for lore related stuff: jinsoul is said to be the villain of the loonaverse and she is related to vivi. jinsoul’s color is mixed with black and blue which shows that she has a darker side in the lore. her representative color is really shown in the mv. the fish scene represents her trying to find the correct time and place in the loonaverse to teleport to as that’s her power in the lore.
Your reactions always make my day. The details you pick up on in the songs usually end up making the songs even more fun to listen to. I became a huge fan of Loona after going back through their discography, because so much of it I absolutely loved. The other mv with the apple was Heart Attack. Chuu actually has a strawberry as her fruit, but her story’s tied with Yves (hence the apple). They’re also in the same subunit as Olivia and another member, Gowon. Yyxy’s Love4eva is on the cuter side, but it’s also got a lot of synths in it too. At first, I didn’t think you’d end up liking Egoist and Singing in the Rain as much as you did, but I’m so happy they also ranked high! This Loona series, but also the Dreamcatcher and Mamamoo one have been my favourites, but your other videos have also given me so much appreciation for other artists I don’t stan.
After watching a lot of your videos, I'm pretty sure you will like all of loona's predebut music. Oh and it looked like you really liked Yves' voice so I recommend you her song D-1
You are literally the *exact* same as me when reacting to these songs for the first time, I was completely blown away by these songs and they are some of the best songs I e v e r heard and I love your reactions so much
When you described that LOONA's music as so "me", that's exactly how I felt when I first discovered LOONA when Heejin first debuted and with every release since then. It's just that LOONA difference.
the fact that these 3 (+ Eclipse) are my top Loona Solo's. But Loona songs are always BOPS and u never know what to expect. olivia hye acc has the record in all of kpop history for having the shortest trainee period which was 1 day. and for the clip at the end of Egoist w/ the 2 girls, its Olivia Hye and Heejin. Heejin is acc the 1st Loona girl to debut and Olivia Hye is the 12th or the last to debut, so its like the first meets the last of the start meets the beginning type thing.
Okay look, i think i'm gonna take this shot, since no one recommended to you yet, and so far your opinion and taste with LOONA's music pretty much mirrored mine. For you to listen to the member Vivi's solo track "Everyday I Love You". It is what you can classify more as the "cutesy/feel good" type of song, however i'm very much loving the melody and the synths (for me it's more a 90's synth vibe). To the extend that i found myself keep on coming back to this song, even though it really not a typical genre of a song that i listen to. This is one of the underrated/overlooked LOONA's solo song tbh, so if this somehow pique your interest, please give it a try 😊.
jinsoul's solo was the one i heard and saw on tumblr that caught my attention, i was like this group is so obnoxious releasing solo single before debut and look where am i now. simping for all 12 members lmao
I have listened to the songs you recommended and they do have the same-y vibe and sound similarities with 'Egoist'. Midnight Special is for me, closer to the sound of Egoist and I loved it. Thanks for the recommendation!
Thank you Fifi for another amazing reaction to Loona, I'm always looking forward to your videos! Oh and also please share your flying playlist! I thought i was the only one who dreamt of flying hahaha
Glad you’ve finally gotten to Egoist, easily one of my favourite kpop songs. Unrelated to Loona but I think you’ll really dig Eyedi, more on the indie level of kpop. Very 80s so if you’re sick of it maybe not, but she’s been doing it for years now. Highly rec &New (pure shakers) and Caffeine. Even if you just check it out on your own time.
I'd put Gluetooth on my cue and the synths immediately blew me away. The occasional breaks in the top line were also really cool and I can see where some of Loona's music could be compared to it, like Girl Front or Hi High's occasional breaks (though this feels a lot darker than that). The ending also made me crack up with the asmr-type whispering. Midnight Special: I can definitely see how some of the ways the synths progress is similar to the one breakdown in Egoist. This one's 'brighter' than Egoist (because that songs a bit of an 'aggressive self-love' song, especially with the visuals and lyrics). I also love the continuous use of syncopated beats But honestly, thank you so much for those song recommendations. I've now got two artists I need to listen to more, because one of the things I love about Loona are their instrumentals, and these two songs took that element and pushed it to the foreground.
For a guide, I would recommend “Guide to Loona - 2020” by Kyle Orbit. Very quick but pretty good for someone starting out! HOWEVER, it has spoilers of their solo songs, so please keep that in mind!
As you listen to each of their solo tracks/MV - I think you will realize that each member can totally stand on their own as a soloist - Each member is so multi-talented! And BBC has all 12 come together to form one group/Loona!!!!! MIND BLOWN (>.
Oh my god, Singing in the rain, god tier, new, god tier. Egoist is my personal favourite Loona solo, Olivia's voice is so unique and I had an inkling you'd like it even though, I wasn't 100% sure because you don't really like EDM usually but I'm so glad you loved it! As some others have already suggested, I'm sure Yves' bside D-1 is right up your alley!
Yves' New is absolutely a favorite. I don't know what it is with that song but it sounds very melancholic and euphoric at the same time. And the fact that it sounds resonant or echo-ey ( if that makes sense), makes this song even more grander and transcendent. what im saying is this song really brings out the feels lol
I luv Loona... they are are my ultimate bias in KPOP. Their solos and and b-sides are out of this world. Wait... get into their sub-units. Mind is blown- favorite from them- OEC
Fun fact: Son Hyejoo aka Olivia Hye was only a trainee for 1 day before she was chosen to be the last member for Loona, and she just HAD to drop a bop ass solo... My heart can't handle
I listened to Hudson Mohawke... and im blown away, i didnt know there was music like that from 2009 ive always associated that style with Flume and other similar artists that use granular synthesizers. So thanks for the recomendations i really liked both but Gluetooth just blew my mind
Yay! this was the other reaction I was waiting for after SCL/Eclipse reaction. Now I can't wait for her to hear the b-sides to the solo albums. Still think D-1 is gonna be her favorite but can't wait for Love Letter omgg. (But also Puzzle, Sea Saw, Rosy) Also can't wait for her to listen to Max & Match and XX albums.
jinsoul represents the color blue and the blue betta fish. Her putting the betta into an aquarium full of goldfish represents being unique in a sea of "common people." or just straight out slaying the goldfishes LOL. yves represents the color burgundy and the swan. Her attire, moves, and posture reminds me of a swan. And also tons of apples because her sub-unit, Loona yyxy, is the "eden sub-unit." olivia represents the color black/grey(?) and the wolf. Her MV has tons of imagery about falling, fallen angels and the like, because like yves, olivia belongs to the "eden sub-unit."
If you're still looking to do more M/Vs the next ones I recommend are: Everyday I Love You (by Vivi). You've already seen Vivi in Yves' MV so I think that's be great to get the whole picture of the Roller Skating scene (plus this song is my personal favorite of the 1/3 girls) One & Only (by Go Won). She's the last member of the 3rd sub-unit (yyxy) that you need to watch the MV for. Love4eva (by LOONA/yyxy). Let's dive into another subunit. I think you'll vibe with this song A LOT.
Egoist is my favourite solo song and what makes it more amazing is the fact that Hyejoo (Olivier) was a trainee for just 1 day before going to record and shoot it.
You definately picked songs that were good for you. Next 3 songs i'd recommend are Satellite, Curiosity, and Colors , BUT they are all on the XX album along with Butterfly so you might just want to do an album listen at that point. You will LOVE those tracks!
next i’d suggest you “heejin’s vivid” it’s such a different song but i like the jazzy feeling it has, and “haseul’s let me in” note: haseul studied opera so she wanted some elements of classical music in it, and “haseul’s the carol ft. heejin and hyunjin” it’s a christmas song and it’s the perfect time to react to it
yassss! stan loona fam ☀️☀️🌌🌙 you will absolutely love the bsides solos:frozen, Love Letter, D1,Puzzle, Uncover, Girls Talk, See Saw, love and live. OT12 bsides: Heat, stylish; curiosity; ohyesiam, perfect love; satelites, day and night
I remember recently learning about the loonaverse and Yves MV was so mind blowing bc of how much it had to do w the loonaverse lol it still blows my mind lol but yes I really think you’d love all their solos lol and their subunit title songs lol I can’t wait for your next reactions P.S i really think you’d like D-1 by Yves and See Saw by Chuu, GoWon and Kim Lip
Fun fact: Jinsoul and Yves have the biggest vocal range of the group so they pull off some crazy low-to-high-and-back melodies and make it look easy hit those notes.

@@Quarksi agreed puzzle is amazing 💜
Yeees considering she likes the genre
fun fact; "new" is from a genre called "soultronica" and that's the first (and maybe the only at the moment?) song from this genre out there in kpop
someone in a youtube comment section said that it's more prevalent in french music
Not kpop, in korean music in general lol
See this is something I always find strange. People say that New is Soultronica, but every "soultronica" playlist I can find sounds nothing like New (and the genre itself is so obscure I can't find any kind of definition for it).

It's more like an subgenre of 80s-style synthpop that doesn't have a name yet.
Makes finding songs with a similar sound incredibly difficult :/
the cool thing is that not only is it the first in kpop but the first in korean music :) yves did it so well i wish it wasn’t so underrated ;(
@@pikachu9018 not the first in korean music
the backing vocals that you liked so much in New's chorus are actually saying "Bite bite bite" which makes a lot more sense when you think about her name being Yves (like Eve) and there being a lot of apple symbolism!
ALSO @ 15:54 LITERALLY SAME GIRL
all this time i thought it was FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT XDDDDDD
damnn this whole time i thought it was “my my my” oh my god
I thought it was “by” like in “by my life” :o “bite” makes sense
I think it’s actually just a random sound if u listen to Monotree’s (the composers) interview but that’s a pretty fun observation
Singing in the rain is probably my favorite solo song, i lose my sh*t everytime i listen to it, can’t wait for you to listen max & match by odd eye circle
Fun fact! Yves (pronounced Eve) only had 3 weeks of training before being picked to debut and Olivia Hye only had 1 day before she started prepping for debut (they already had the music, lyrics and choreography ready)

Yves is supposed to be Eve hence the apples ^^ and she also appeared in Chuu's Heart Attack mv which is where you've seen the apples before!
Vivi is also surrounded by floating apples in the Why Not MV 😊
for someone not trained in rapping, jinsoul has amazing flow
The day you react to their [X X] album will be declared as an official holiday for me.
Bro same 😭
Omg yes
And max&match
the day has come
Loving your "disgust" face when the songs groove hard haha. So glad you are enjoying this little trip into the Loonaverse :D
“We all have a dream about wanting to fly” is like the perfect way to describe Loona and Orbits! And it basically summarizes all the loonalore sksksks
the absolute eargasm you'll have when you listen to d-1, puzzle, love letter, twilight, and the rest of oec's max & match b-sides
i see loona in the notif, i click

experiencing these 3 songs for the first time back to back to back is a lil too much for me to handle... they're god tier.
Yves's song is rarely find in kpop
i like to call jinsoul's mv 'spicy water'
fun fact, yves' "new" is a genre of music called 'soultronica' and "new" was the first kpop song of it's genre
On 16:45 its actually a blood plum .. yyxy subunit members have representative Fruits

Loona said no skips and they MEANT IT
in the yves song the strange audio is "bite bite bite" because of the apple and the lore
Your reactions always make my day. The details you pick up on in the songs usually end up making the songs even more fun to listen to. I became a huge fan of Loona after going back through their discography, because so much of it I absolutely loved.

Olivia was TRAINEE for 1 day if I’m not msitaken. The only idol ever. ONE DAY?? THats insane she’s crazy.
Yeojin is the youngest
I'm 30seconds early! The power of loona
new and egoist are one of my fav Loona songs
When you described that LOONA's music as so "me", that's exactly how I felt when I first discovered LOONA when Heejin first debuted and with every release since then. It's just that LOONA difference.
I love witnessing a blooming Orbit and watching your reactions to Loona! These 3 tracks along with Eclipse were the ones that turned me 🥰
Omggg I forgot you had couple of Loona reactions left And I’m so excited! heart attack, eclipse and Egoist are my fav ones from solo debuts 💞
LOONA is like fine wine...exquisite to begin with & gets even better with time.
man i miss listening to them so much
the fact that these 3 (+ Eclipse) are my top Loona Solo's. But Loona songs are always BOPS and u never know what to expect.
olivia hye acc has the record in all of kpop history for having the shortest trainee period which was 1 day.
and for the clip at the end of Egoist w/ the 2 girls, its Olivia Hye and Heejin. Heejin is acc the 1st Loona girl to debut and Olivia Hye is the 12th or the last to debut, so its like the first meets the last of the start meets the beginning type thing.
new is one of my favorite tracks in kpop so far, it's been years and i can't get over it
Okay look, i think i'm gonna take this shot, since no one recommended to you yet, and so far your opinion and taste with LOONA's music pretty much mirrored mine. For you to listen to the member Vivi's solo track "Everyday I Love You". It is what you can classify more as the "cutesy/feel good" type of song, however i'm very much loving the melody and the synths (for me it's more a 90's synth vibe). To the extend that i found myself keep on coming back to this song, even though it really not a typical genre of a song that i listen to. This is one of the underrated/overlooked LOONA's solo song tbh, so if this somehow pique your interest, please give it a try 😊.
Yessss I’m so happy you are reacting to loona. They have been working so hard since the start of their careers and they deserve the love so much
No one really does 5 dimensional 80's synth like Loona, it just hits different.
Yayyy I'm happy you loved singing in the rain
jinsoul's solo was the one i heard and saw on tumblr that caught my attention, i was like this group is so obnoxious releasing solo single before debut and look where am i now. simping for all 12 members lmao
Can’t wait to see your reaction to their full group tracks, especially “Voice”/“Star”
I already reacted to it. Please check my channel, you can find all my previous Loona reactions in my loona playlist.
the cat 🥺🥺🥺💕
oh i cannot wait to see your reaction to cheorry’s n jinsoul’s bside “puzzle” i rlly feel like ur gonna fall in love even more 😌
I have listened to the songs you recommended and they do have the same-y vibe and sound similarities with 'Egoist'.
Midnight Special is for me, closer to the sound of Egoist and I loved it.
Thanks for the recommendation!
I THINK ITS TIME TO FINALLY STAN LOONA FOR GOOD!
fifi, this feeling about LOONA never ever dies i listen to these songs and have your identical reactions. everytime.
Thank you Fifi for another amazing reaction to Loona, I'm always looking forward to your videos! Oh and also please share your flying playlist! I thought i was the only one who dreamt of flying hahaha
Glad you’ve finally gotten to Egoist, easily one of my favourite kpop songs.
Unrelated to Loona but I think you’ll really dig Eyedi, more on the indie level of kpop. Very 80s so if you’re sick of it maybe not, but she’s been doing it for years now. Highly rec &New (pure shakers) and Caffeine. Even if you just check it out on your own time.
more loona!! yeesss!!
btw im married to olivia hye
I'd put Gluetooth on my cue and the synths immediately blew me away. The occasional breaks in the top line were also really cool and I can see where some of Loona's music could be compared to it, like Girl Front or Hi High's occasional breaks (though this feels a lot darker than that). The ending also made me crack up with the asmr-type whispering.
Midnight Special: I can definitely see how some of the ways the synths progress is similar to the one breakdown in Egoist. This one's 'brighter' than Egoist (because that songs a bit of an 'aggressive self-love' song, especially with the visuals and lyrics). I also love the continuous use of syncopated beats
But honestly, thank you so much for those song recommendations. I've now got two artists I need to listen to more, because one of the things I love about Loona are their instrumentals, and these two songs took that element and pushed it to the foreground.
LOONA are queens! I'm really happy to be able to experience them again through your journey.
We both had the same exact reaction to jinsouls and it’s my favorite
Can u react to there NCT 127 Cherry Bomb Dance cover pls 💜 it just hits different 😗
yeye
For a guide, I would recommend “Guide to Loona - 2020” by Kyle Orbit. Very quick but pretty good for someone starting out! HOWEVER, it has spoilers of their solo songs, so please keep that in mind!
As you listen to each of their solo tracks/MV - I think you will realize that each member can totally stand on their own as a soloist - Each member is so multi-talented! And BBC has all 12 come together to form one group/Loona!!!!! MIND BLOWN (>.
Oh my god, Singing in the rain, god tier, new, god tier.
Egoist is my personal favourite Loona solo, Olivia's voice is so unique and I had an inkling you'd like it even though, I wasn't 100% sure because you don't really like EDM usually but I'm so glad you loved it!
As some others have already suggested, I'm sure Yves' bside D-1 is right up your alley!
Yves' New is absolutely a favorite. I don't know what it is with that song but it sounds very melancholic and euphoric at the same time. And the fact that it sounds resonant or echo-ey ( if that makes sense), makes this song even more grander and transcendent. what im saying is this song really brings out the feels lol
everyone:
literally everyone:
fifi listening to every single loona song: "I *ABSOLUTELY* LOVED THAT"
I'm so happy you liked my suggestions! I knew you'd love them. Can't wait for you to get into their other B-sides.
I luv Loona... they are are my ultimate bias in KPOP. Their solos and and b-sides are out of this world. Wait... get into their sub-units. Mind is blown- favorite from them- OEC
Fun fact: Son Hyejoo aka Olivia Hye was only a trainee for 1 day before she was chosen to be the last member for Loona, and she just HAD to drop a bop ass solo... My heart can't handle
every single reaction get better, FiFi way to become a orbit
I listened to Hudson Mohawke... and im blown away, i didnt know there was music like that from 2009 ive always associated that style with Flume and other similar artists that use granular synthesizers. So thanks for the recomendations i really liked both but Gluetooth just blew my mind
Omg that cat in the back 💔💔 they’re so cute!
Your cat is so adorable sleeping in the background.
Your face during this whole video was a whole ass mood.
I also really recommend the [× ×] album 💙
Yay! this was the other reaction I was waiting for after SCL/Eclipse reaction. Now I can't wait for her to hear the b-sides to the solo albums. Still think D-1 is gonna be her favorite but can't wait for Love Letter omgg. (But also Puzzle, Sea Saw, Rosy) Also can't wait for her to listen to Max & Match and XX albums.
oh they are my favorite songs of loona's
jinsoul represents the color blue and the blue betta fish. Her putting the betta into an aquarium full of goldfish represents being unique in a sea of "common people." or just straight out slaying the goldfishes LOL.
yves represents the color burgundy and the swan. Her attire, moves, and posture reminds me of a swan. And also tons of apples because her sub-unit, Loona yyxy, is the "eden sub-unit."
olivia represents the color black/grey(?) and the wolf. Her MV has tons of imagery about falling, fallen angels and the like, because like yves, olivia belongs to the "eden sub-unit."
If you're still looking to do more M/Vs the next ones I recommend are:
Everyday I Love You (by Vivi). You've already seen Vivi in Yves' MV so I think that's be great to get the whole picture of the Roller Skating scene (plus this song is my personal favorite of the 1/3 girls)
One & Only (by Go Won). She's the last member of the 3rd sub-unit (yyxy) that you need to watch the MV for.
Love4eva (by LOONA/yyxy). Let's dive into another subunit. I think you'll vibe with this song A LOT.
Egoist is my favourite solo song and what makes it more amazing is the fact that Hyejoo (Olivier) was a trainee for just 1 day before going to record and shoot it.
You definately picked songs that were good for you. Next 3 songs i'd recommend are Satellite, Curiosity, and Colors , BUT they are all on the XX album along with Butterfly so you might just want to do an album listen at that point. You will LOVE those tracks!
next i’d suggest you “heejin’s vivid” it’s such a different song but i like the jazzy feeling it has, and “haseul’s let me in” note: haseul studied opera so she wanted some elements of classical music in it, and “haseul’s the carol ft. heejin and hyunjin” it’s a christmas song and it’s the perfect time to react to it
I love watching you react to LOONA, it makes me so happy. ❤️
LOONA has taken over as my fav gg since SnNSD
yassss! stan loona fam ☀️☀️🌌🌙 you will absolutely love the bsides solos:frozen, Love Letter, D1,Puzzle, Uncover, Girls Talk, See Saw, love and live.
OT12 bsides: Heat, stylish; curiosity; ohyesiam, perfect love; satelites, day and night
I remember recently learning about the loonaverse and Yves MV was so mind blowing bc of how much it had to do w the loonaverse lol it still blows my mind lol but yes I really think you’d love all their solos lol and their subunit title songs lol I can’t wait for your next reactions
P.S i really think you’d like D-1 by Yves and See Saw by Chuu, GoWon and Kim Lip
Fun fact: Jinsoul and Yves have the biggest vocal range of the group so they pull off some crazy low-to-high-and-back melodies and make it look easy hit those notes.
Heejin too tbh. And Olivia hye.
and thanks for reacting to loona it makes me feel like im redescovering their songs all over again
