GIRL THEY DON'T HAVE A STORYLINE, THEY LITERALLY CREATED ANOTHER UNIVERSE (Loonaverse :3 ). It's probably the most complicated and intricated lore among all the kpop industry and orbits (fandom name) go crazy for it. It started in 2016 with the first solo song predebut by Heejin (they have one for each member, so 12 in total) and it's still going. They are also divided in 3 sub units by order of debut: Loona 1/3 consists in Heejin, Hyunjin, Haseul (leader of the group) and Vivi (the only foreign member, from Hong Kong); Odd Eye Circle consists in Kim Lip, Jinsoul and Choerry; yyxy consists in Yves, Chuu, Gowon and Olivia Hye. The only member who isn't in a sub unit is the maknae Yeojin cause she was too young to debut in a sub unit (14) but she obv has her solo song like all the other members
@@fukucrys6966 I think it's not a big deal bc I personally enjoy way more when reactors pay more attention to their music and choreography rather than just analyzing the storyline. I like the Loonaverse lore and the fact that some fans spent their time to understand it is cool, but I think that sometimes reactors try to understand the lore too hard and don't pay attention to the girls and their talent, the choreography or the song itself, so I liked that Caitlin's reaction was more in blind ^_^
Caitlynnnn you need to react to ARTMS and Loossemble, Loona had to disband and now members are in different groups except chuu and yves (they are solo) but ARTMS and Loossemble are both continuing the Loona storyline and their stories are matching each other’s
It makes me so sad to think that there’s ppl that could get to know Loona now and not get to chance to experience what we orbits experienced in the years they were together. I can’t believe it’s nearly unlikely that we’ll ever see our twelve girls even dance to these songs together again. That’s heartbreaking fr 😭
It’s not unlikely at all the girls constantly talk to each other and the companies are willing to work together. It’ll happen don’t count it out they are pushing for more Loona music as a group
@@Chellz801 The problem is for sure in a logistical sense. It’s not impossible, but definitely leaning more to unlikely than I would’ve hoped. Never say never, though :/
Im watching ur reaction and they actually had a really unique predebut project! Each girl got a solo (and a bside) starting from October 2016 and even they had 3 subunits (3 albums and 2 repackages) that promoted before they all debuted as a group at August 2018! So since they were from an unknown company they had to make much noise to get attention from the public
currently suppressing the urge to write a 10 page thesis in the comment section about the Loonaverse and recommend LOONA's entire discography and dance cover/practices 😅😅
"I need to hear what the b-side sounds like though." Oh, you're in for so much trouble. Their b-sides are GOLD. You definitely need to check out their b-sides on your own time, I genuinely think you'd love it! They have all kind of genres, so you have a lot to pick on. I enjoyed this video so much, thank you for checking them out. I'm glad you ended up liking them! Take your time in discovering them, because you're right they do have a LOT of songs. From their pre-debut solos to their pre-debut units to their other title. And yes, they do have a lore. We call it the LOONAVERSE, but you don't have to worry about it when you're not ready or interested yet. Just enjoy your time with their music! Thank you for this amazing reaction.
36:24 the one slaying the highnote in the back is actually one of the main rappers (they don't have official positions) Jinsoul, who is my ult btw😼, and it proves that Loona is literally a group full of aces and that's on PERIODT
But Jinsoul prefers singing to rapping and also acts like a lead vocalist. I agree that LOONA are aces, but it’s not like she’s genuinely a rapper first like Soyeon or Chaeyoung. She was made to rap by BBC; Jinsoul *studied* vocals.
@@julienneloreto8561 yes I know she prefers singing over rapping, it was just an example to show how much of an ace group Loona is. Since Caitlin asked who was hitting the highnote in the background I answered her and also added that Jinsoul is considered one of the main rappers (cause she raps in Satellite, Oops, Pose, SITR, Egoist...) but she's also a lead (if not main, I'm not an expert so I can't tell) vocalist material. Just for example, on Queendom she was in the vocal unit but in the finale she was one of the girls who was rapping (Hyeju, Sooyoung and Heejin, who are also lead vocalist material, esp the last two), so in conclusion Loona is def an ace group
@@julienneloreto8561 and Loona's rap line doesn't rap as much as Chae or Soyeon do and may not be as good as them (cause they obv trained to become rappers) but imo when they rap they literally slay

I literally clicked so fast and I'm still panicking. Hope u take a chance and react to their pre-debut cause everything is just so amazing when it comes to loona!
27:41 Girl IS there a story line? They have their own universe called Loonaverse and literally everything: MVs, choreo, lyrics etc play into it! And it started with their solos so to understand it you probably would have to watch all the MVs, look at all the lyrics, read all of the MV descriptions and watch all the teasers and 'unreleased' content since their predebut lmao.. but the best thing its all based on theories so theres not a fixed storyline! There are many theorists that make videos explaining either the MV's, members storyline or just explaining their general timeline of events
this video just made me realize how much i actually enjoy the loona title tracks. like they’re my ult group and ive listened to their songs so many times already but the music is just SO good
Loona is one very talented group. Their whole discography is so unique and just beautiful. On top of that they have some of the best choreographies in Kpop and are incredibly synchronised too. I hope you find some time to check out their dance practises and even some of their golden bsides. Oh and not to forgot they are absolutely hilarious and emit peak crackhead energy lmao
Loona are super well known for being one of the best girl groups in terms of dance and synchronization!! They also are pretty well known for their dance covers of boy groups! They have done incredible covers of bts fire, nct127 cherry bomb, and got7 eclipse!
You’ll be surprised how many orbits did not like So What, meanwhile I was just sitting there blasting the music. Lee Soo Man did co produce it so yeah it does have that classic SM bridge. It’s so good.
LOONA is one of my favorite groups of all time. Their music is just so diverse and unique at the same time. They have some of the best bsides in kpop imo so their albums are worth a check. As others are saying in the comments,yes, LOONA has the most unique predebut project ever where each is revealed and debuted as sololists + 3 subunits of 3 to 5 members in the span of 18 months before their debut. They also have the LOONAVERSE which spans across over 30+ mvs starting from their predebut in 2016 till this day. I hope you deep dive into LOONA if you are interested enough!
currently watching this reaction to feel happy again after the whole Loona situation 😭 her excitement watching loona mvs reminds of when I first got into loona,, this reaction is so comforting thank you Caitlin 🫶
Seeing first-time reactions to LOONA always makes me feel major feelings. Some fun facts and answers to questions you asked in the video (which you might know by now since this reaction is a few months old): Yes there's a storyline, LOONA has the most complex lore in the history of K-Pop, it's a trip, there's string theory and Orthodox theology and color theory and all kinds of stuff going on. All the weird stuff like the meteors and burning feathers and stuff, all the space/moon references, the missing shoe, all that is in the lore. The "fly like a butterfly" line in the drop in Butterfly: Hyunjin did that in one take, not even thinking it was the actual take, and G-High hit the talkback button and said "okay perfect." On "that sound" that's Monotree, mostly G-High. It changed after So What due to... reasons. Monotree have some awesome session review videos on their channel if you're curious and have time to kill. The major change in style from the first two to Why Not is because of those other reasons. Basically their shitty company didn't do anything for a long-ass time, and then decided to change everything to chase awards and CFs. It totally worked, and all us old Orbits eventually came around, but it was very jarring. (Also fun fact: the explosions in Why Not are not GCI, they fired explosives at Heejin and she was totally unfazed. Queens of not using green screens!) So What fun fact: the chorus choreo is so challenging that they did a TikTok challenge, but then did another "easy" version so fans could actually do it. So What also has the best bridge in the entire history of girl group songs (second best in K-Pop, because Exo's Tempo exists). PTT: remember the burning feather at the end of So What? The girl who had fire wings in PTT, that's related, she's the leader of the group and PTT was her first comeback after a long health hiatus. And the neon wings were actually on fire, they REALLY don't use CGI unless they absolutely have to.
caitlin if you ever choose to revisit loona i’ll literally cry. they are so so talented and their b-sides are fantastic. they did a TON of predebut stuff, each member got their own solo single and they broke into subunits and each subunit released an ep or two BEFORE the group debuted as twelve. that’s how each member was revealed to the public. they’re literally all strong solo artists that debuted as a group and the lore is extensive. they’re absolutely fantastic. ik ur swamped with stuff rn but if you do decide to bring loona onto the channel it might be the best day of my life. love you sm queen. have fun at all the concerts this summer!!
Somehow I knew it wouldn't even phase you that this was such a large group😂. Based on watching your past videos of getting to know Seventeen and NCT I knew Loona was in good hands as far as not having to see someone completely overwhelmed the entire video by their numbers
caitlin, i honestly think you should dedicate a whole first look season just for loona and listen to their entire discography, it is amazing and i promise you, you will not be disappointed!
이달의 소녀 also known as LOOΠΔ, 今月の少女, "Record-breaking girls", "Main Character", "Moon Girls", "Performance Masters", "Concept Masters", "Rise of the Dark Horse" and the list goes on....
Paint the town is just insanely good like it's so powerful and makes me feel so empowered it gave me chills listening to it again today with you! Love your reaction Caitlin literally so RELATABLE!
I don't even stan loona but PTT is literally one the best kpop songs it's a masterpiece who even came up with this amazing song and the shenai and tabla was a cherry on top 🤧
oh girl, I promise the last thing you’ll ever regret is listening to more loona, ESP their bsides. in fact, you’ll probably regret not having stanned them sooner. Hahah but whenever you do decide to really dive into their discography, you’re in for such a frickin treat. like I would do ANYTHING to relive discovering loona! Also yes, they have lore. Like A LOT of it but don’t be overwhelmed or discouraged. It’s so good too and really adds to the experience
I SCREAMED THE SECOND I SAW THE NOTIFICATION . i love loona so much oh my god they have an amazing discography and a crazy, VERY complicated storyline . before debuting, each member was introduced for each month . they released solos and unit songs . i hope you react more to them :DD they are soo good
On my humble opinion as an Orbit and a Carat, knowing how much you love Seventeen you will end up stanning Loona as well, they are both royalty when it comes to dance and song production. Thanks to react to our girls, kisses from Brazil
Omg Hi Caitlin, big fan. I'm about to watch this slayful reaction but first have you ever heard of a thing called the Loonaverse? It's the storyline behind Loona's music videos. It's totally not complicated to learn at all and only requires mild knowledge of astrophysics, chemistry, theology and colour theory. I have a powerpoint if you need it queen xoxo
It really was Loona and Gfriend that dragged me into trying more ggs. So glad, you're checking them out and having your mind blown too! Paint the Town is a shortened version of "painting the town red" which is an old time-y phrase meaning, to go out on the town partying and letting loose.
Watching the final thoughts part with a smile in my face because I know that even though you don’t do a reaction to their other songs now, you definitely will in the future just basing on how you loved all these songs. Loona’s discography is one of the best and diverse in K-Pop and I think you will thoroughly enjoy every song (especially the b-sides, in which the girls shine the most lol). Thank you for a great video as always, Caitlin! 💓
OMG IT'S HAPPENING! EVERYONE STAY F*CKING CALM! Man I was longing for this reaction. Damn it Caitlin, you are the best.I know I keep editing my comment but I'm losing my sh*t and I'm just about to start your reaction to favorite. *INTERNALLIY SCREAMING* I'm at 4:42 girl you are killing me 😂 5:03 I really need to stop now. But for real now, like an hour ago I came back from my four summer class (like the ones that you take to help you pass your high school finals and examinations to enter universities) and I was really tired but this is really lifting my spirit right now. Thank you Caitlin for always working hard to put out content ☺️❤️ Edit:I just finished the reaction and I enjoyed it so much what the heck? Honestly I would elavate if you ever brought loona on the channel, but I know how hectic it already is on here so please take your time and take care of yourself girl.
Butterfly will forever be my favourite LOONA song. One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard from a girl group. Never fails to make me feel emotional when I listen to it.
you should definitely watch all of their solos and subunit music videos! then after i also suggest watching hi high and hula hoop, and you can see references to the loonaverse lore all throughout the hula hoop mv!! im so glad youre enjoying loona!!
crying bc you’ve fallen in love with the most complex gg in kpop when you’re telling yourself not to add anyone else😩 but honestly you won’t regret checking out loona. they have a TON of good music. their solo songs? bangers. their unit songs? bangers. their group songs? bangers. not a single skip in their discography. their lore is also the most fascinating lore in all of kpop like once you learn what it is you’re gonna watch the mvs again and go CRAZY
i love when people find out about LOONA for the first time and properly lose their minds as the reaction progresses 💀. that’s the power the moon girls possess 🥹
if you want to stan them watch Loona the avengers of Kpop, the video is old, but still it helps a lot with the debut and all that. Each member debuted with a solo song before they all debuted together as Loona. Really stan them you don’t know how many times i have cried because of how beautiful and meaningful the loonaverse is
honestly what makes loona such a good group is how they basically never stick to one genre, they have one of the most diverse discographies i've ever heard. i loved your reaction, the way you react just comes off as very genuine
Their debut song as a whole group was "Hi High" and they have a lot of other great songs like "Universe", "Hula Hoop", "Star" & "Satellite". Not to mention their Sub-unit and solo songs. Their latest title track is "Flip That" but their finale song for Queendom 2 was "Pose". If you also like to see how great they are at dancing, you should check out their dance practice videos for their songs but especially their cover dances of boy group songs; "Fire" by BTS, "Cherry Bomb" by NCT 127 and "Eclipse" by Got7.
after hearing ur ranking, you GOTTA watch loona’s performance of “pose” on queendom 😭 but its best not viewed at 2am when everyone can hear u scream 😭😭😭😭
Im very happy your reacting to LOOΠΔ the most unique KPOP group out there that deserved a lot more attention and recognition for their empowerment, enlightenment, and diversification in oneself. Their lore is the precipice of any universe that goes beyond the reach of assemblage. Granted we haven’t scratched the surface of grandeur- from their solo’s to their subunit’s that is predicated on the diversity in their music and intrinsically their own.
ACKKKK THIS IS FOR ME!!! contrary to popular belief you don't need to get into their lore/universe like, at all. i know it means a lot to most of the fans but enjoying the music alone is perfectly fine. i feel like you'll love their bsides too, if you ever get to them!
As somebody whose ult group is also NCT, Loona has been one of my fav ggs since before their debut. Their predebut solo songs are also all amazing quality and their b-sides are where some of the best gems are like with NCT. Also they have a cover of Cherry Bomb that went viral- (and got the Lee Sooman to work with them for So What and Why Not he was so impressed) I really hope you bring Loona to your channel again, especially trying to figure out the lore lol I felt so dang happy seeing this 🥰
hi caitlin i'm so happy that you checked out loona! these girls are so amazing :) loona is really THAT full package group their choreos are amazing and each member can stand on their own, but my favorite part about loona is the loonaverse, their "storyline" (it’s in fact so much bigger than that) they had a very unique introduction in the industry bc each member got introduced one by one, every month a girl would be introduced with teasers and her solo album and then debut in a unit (there is three in total and they all have their unique sounds and albums too!) what explains their korean name "girl of the month", their predebut activities were about 2 years long and before even debuting they had more than 32 mvs, 3 mini albums and 12 solo songs + bonus duo songs etc.. its completely insane considering the fact that they traveled in japan france iceland and even more countries to film them😭 they all follow the same universe and are very detailed there is a LOT of interesting theories you can check out but loona is already an amazing group to enjoy alone their solos and unit songs are all well put together, the loonaverse is just a very big addition to an already amazing group! :D
Thank you for checking them out Caitlyn. Tbh they don't just have mere storyline but a lore. Their own universe which is the loonaverse and if you dive deep into it, you'll find yourself diving into loona's individuals complex stories, how each choreo, lyrics, mv scenes, and colors are all connected.
watching caitlin descend into madness was so satisfying XD im glad you enjoyed all the songs so far, and hopefully in the future you'll be able to listen to the rest of their discography since it's full of variety between OT12, subunits, and solo songs.
I literally dont know where to start because there's just too many outstanding loona. I just hope she checks out the pre-debut project, the boy group dance covers (she'll love cherry bomb, fire and eclipse), the dance practices and probably the Avengers of Kpop video? I just hope we keep getting loona contents here. 😊 Maybe if she's more into it, then we can start talking about the lore and the loonaverse. Hopefully, the b-sides, the solos and the subunits would eventually come because that's where the treasure is hidden. 🤭
Love loona! Butterfly is such a beautiful songs and mv They debuted one at a time, each dropping a solo with subunits too. They have a lot of great songs! Always appreciate your reactions
the fact that they're gonna be on tour in the US is insane. i'm so proud of them i wish i could experience them live too because i know their energy is insane.
I’m glad you liked Loona so much and especially appreciated their versatility. Might I suggest a first look for next season dedicated to pre-debut Loona? Because you’ve barely scratched he surface of what they’re capable of. If you want to keep it to 5, of the top of my head there’s Love Cherry Motion by Choerry, new by Yves, Around You by Hyunjin, Everyday I love you by Vivi and Heart Attack by Chuu that are all well worth checking out.
They adapt well to the new sound and concept of every comeback they do. They really are flexible and hardworking to pull it off seamless. Like actors on a movie
the number 1 kpop group in my heart! I'm glad you enjoyed them! there's so much more to discover about them I promise it won't be boring and you'll find load more good music to vibe to. they have a unique predebut project where all 12 members debuted solo and had subunits before forming the full group. which is part of why they were already so in sync for favorite. they're very diverse and do beautiful soft, nostalgic concepts, as well as harder ones with a unique twist. there's lore galore andyou can go all out on that if you like. it be complicated though. they've done a few iconic dance covers and they were recently on queendom, so there's cool performances like that to check out. in general they're a great dance group so the performances and dance practices are amazing. all 12 members have great personalities that go so well together. they're super goofy and famously don't shy away from awkward interactions either (some members cannot talk normally to each other and the rest make fun of them, but that's what u get when u throw 12 people together right). they so precious. and the memes are great. i wanted to say something nive but now i'm word vomiting about my love of them. oh well. out of these songs butterfly, favorite and PTT are my favorites, idk about the order though. There recept title track flip that however is probably my new fav loona title track. it gets us og orbits nostalgic for that predebut time and has a softer sound. b-side wise you won't be disappointed, they dont do bad songs. it's all 24k. love the video, thanks! ♥
I don't stan LOONA but damn, I'm excited everytime they make a comeback. Their debut song "Hi High" is cute and fun, you should listen to it if you have time! And if you are interested in them, they have their own universe (LOONAVERSE). Each of the 12 members have a solo song too, and they have subunits! I really love your reactions and this season of the serie is giving me life! Keep going, watching you from France!!
After these I’m sure you would love to see Loona’s POSE Queendom performance!! And to see a different side of them Hi High, Star, and Flip That are good MVs to look at
Loona are the b-side queens for me, along with RV! So i definitely recommend checking out their albums, when you have the time and energy💕 You're in for a world of amazing music!
so funny how you described how hard-hitting their songs are, then their recent release is flip that with a summer concept. I hope you'll listen to it as well. and definitely, check out the b-sides! I recommend Satellite.
Is it a story line? no. Is a motherf*ckin DIFFERENT UNNIVERSE, it’s called Loonaverse, i’ve been an orbit for 3 years and it still blows my mind. like EVERYTHING you see is there for a reason, i’ve never seen something like that in my whole life not in Kpop not in western music, it feels like a f*ckin movie
Another day, another slay. The girls just keep slaying these youtubers without mercy. Caitlin, Loona deserves a series on its own. They have 48 MVs in total, of which 36 were pre-debut era.
THIS SEASON IS LITERALLY FOR ME
ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
SAMEEEE
SAMEEEE IM SO HAPPY AAAA
OMG SAME!!!
F SAME

Wasn’t there some theory that Yeojin is in 1/3?
@@sweetmimosamommysaranghae3163 yes, she's considered the "/" in Loona 1/3, but concretely she wasn't in any sub unit
I felt sorry for Caitlin to react to Loona without knowing about all the infomations T.T Anyways STAN LOONA

and yes, Stan Loona for a better life 💅
Why Not and So What are both co-produced by Lee Soo Man, and you can easily tell the SMENT influence on those two songs.
it’s the ✨bridge✨
These songs made me stan Loona ! Everything make sense lmao since I love every SM songs
Why not is literally my favourite kpop song
i remember when why not came out, the outrage and love, an sment classic sign
oh yeah, their worst songs to date. SM knows how to kill competition
Caitlin: is it a storyline?
Me: girl, it's THE STORYLINE
Caitlynnnn you need to react to ARTMS and Loossemble, Loona had to disband and now members are in different groups except chuu and yves (they are solo) but ARTMS and Loossemble are both continuing the Loona storyline and their stories are matching each other’s
"My wig is gone, she's no longer with us" it's a pretty good representation of our reactions every time they drop a bop
honestly the moment i realised they are PHENOMENAL dancers is the moment i saw that dance cover they did of cherry bomb. literally SO good.
Same! Honestly, I like watching their cover over NCT's. Lol...
Let's be honest, they did it better

"I need to hear what the b-side sounds like though."
Oh, you're in for so much trouble. Their b-sides are GOLD. You definitely need to check out their b-sides on your own time, I genuinely think you'd love it! They have all kind of genres, so you have a lot to pick on.

Same, When I saw the everglow vid I was wondering when the loona vid will come

The member you mentioned you liked is Kim Lip :) she has an amazing solo song called "Eclipse", you should check it out :)
You don't know what you're getting yourself into. WELCOME TO THE LOONAVERSE!!! 😭😭❤️
Loona is one very talented group. Their whole discography is so unique and just beautiful. On top of that they have some of the best choreographies in Kpop and are incredibly synchronised too. I hope you find some time to check out their dance practises and even some of their golden bsides. Oh and not to forgot they are absolutely hilarious and emit peak crackhead energy lmao
YESSSS LOONA THE KWEENS OF REPRESENTATION,VOCALS,RAP,CONCEPTS,AND BEAUTY🫶🏽🫶🏽🩷🩷🥹🥹
Loona are super well known for being one of the best girl groups in terms of dance and synchronization!! They also are pretty well known for their dance covers of boy groups! They have done incredible covers of bts fire, nct127 cherry bomb, and got7 eclipse!
You’ll be surprised how many orbits did not like So What, meanwhile I was just sitting there blasting the music. Lee Soo Man did co produce it so yeah it does have that classic SM bridge. It’s so good.
I love that song it made me Stan them😭
I don't like the song because Vivi has 1 second of line, but otherwise I like the music 😭
all 12 of them have such charming personalities, their variety show stuff are a treat to watch
LOONA is one of my favorite groups of all time. Their music is just so diverse and unique at the same time.
They have some of the best bsides in kpop imo so their albums are worth a check.
As others are saying in the comments,yes, LOONA has the most unique predebut project ever where each is revealed and debuted as sololists + 3 subunits of 3 to 5 members in the span of 18 months before their debut.
They also have the LOONAVERSE which spans across over 30+ mvs starting from their predebut in 2016 till this day.
I hope you deep dive into LOONA if you are interested enough!
currently watching this reaction to feel happy again after the whole Loona situation 😭 her excitement watching loona mvs reminds of when I first got into loona,, this reaction is so comforting thank you Caitlin 🫶
Seeing first-time reactions to LOONA always makes me feel major feelings. Some fun facts and answers to questions you asked in the video (which you might know by now since this reaction is a few months old):
Yes there's a storyline, LOONA has the most complex lore in the history of K-Pop, it's a trip, there's string theory and Orthodox theology and color theory and all kinds of stuff going on. All the weird stuff like the meteors and burning feathers and stuff, all the space/moon references, the missing shoe, all that is in the lore.
The "fly like a butterfly" line in the drop in Butterfly: Hyunjin did that in one take, not even thinking it was the actual take, and G-High hit the talkback button and said "okay perfect."
On "that sound" that's Monotree, mostly G-High. It changed after So What due to... reasons. Monotree have some awesome session review videos on their channel if you're curious and have time to kill.
The major change in style from the first two to Why Not is because of those other reasons. Basically their shitty company didn't do anything for a long-ass time, and then decided to change everything to chase awards and CFs. It totally worked, and all us old Orbits eventually came around, but it was very jarring. (Also fun fact: the explosions in Why Not are not GCI, they fired explosives at Heejin and she was totally unfazed. Queens of not using green screens!)
So What fun fact: the chorus choreo is so challenging that they did a TikTok challenge, but then did another "easy" version so fans could actually do it. So What also has the best bridge in the entire history of girl group songs (second best in K-Pop, because Exo's Tempo exists).
PTT: remember the burning feather at the end of So What? The girl who had fire wings in PTT, that's related, she's the leader of the group and PTT was her first comeback after a long health hiatus. And the neon wings were actually on fire, they REALLY don't use CGI unless they absolutely have to.
peryat! queen lip legit flew in why not
caitlin if you ever choose to revisit loona i’ll literally cry. they are so so talented and their b-sides are fantastic. they did a TON of predebut stuff, each member got their own solo single and they broke into subunits and each subunit released an ep or two BEFORE the group debuted as twelve. that’s how each member was revealed to the public. they’re literally all strong solo artists that debuted as a group and the lore is extensive. they’re absolutely fantastic. ik ur swamped with stuff rn but if you do decide to bring loona onto the channel it might be the best day of my life. love you sm queen. have fun at all the concerts this summer!!
Somehow I knew it wouldn't even phase you that this was such a large group😂. Based on watching your past videos of getting to know Seventeen and NCT I knew Loona was in good hands as far as not having to see someone completely overwhelmed the entire video by their numbers
If she ever does a guide to the members I will be the FIRST to see it! LOONA just has so much to offer!!
caitlin, i honestly think you should dedicate a whole first look season just for loona and listen to their entire discography, it is amazing and i promise you, you will not be disappointed!
이달의 소녀 also known as LOOΠΔ, 今月の少女, "Record-breaking girls", "Main Character", "Moon Girls", "Performance Masters", "Concept Masters", "Rise of the Dark Horse" and the list goes on....
Paint the town is just insanely good like it's so powerful and makes me feel so empowered it gave me chills listening to it again today with you! Love your reaction Caitlin literally so RELATABLE!
First discovered Loona when they covered Cherry Bomb by NCT and now Paint the Town has me on chokehold.
I don't even stan loona but PTT is literally one the best kpop songs it's a masterpiece who even came up with this amazing song and the shenai and tabla was a cherry on top 🤧
oh girl, I promise the last thing you’ll ever regret is listening to more loona, ESP their bsides. in fact, you’ll probably regret not having stanned them sooner. Hahah but whenever you do decide to really dive into their discography, you’re in for such a frickin treat. like I would do ANYTHING to relive discovering loona! Also yes, they have lore. Like A LOT of it but don’t be overwhelmed or discouraged. It’s so good too and really adds to the experience
I realy miss loona 😢
I SCREAMED THE SECOND I SAW THE NOTIFICATION . i love loona so much oh my god they have an amazing discography and a crazy, VERY complicated storyline . before debuting, each member was introduced for each month . they released solos and unit songs . i hope you react more to them :DD they are soo good
On my humble opinion as an Orbit and a Carat, knowing how much you love Seventeen you will end up stanning Loona as well, they are both royalty when it comes to dance and song production.
Thanks to react to our girls, kisses from Brazil
Omg Hi Caitlin, big fan. I'm about to watch this slayful reaction but first have you ever heard of a thing called the Loonaverse? It's the storyline behind Loona's music videos. It's totally not complicated to learn at all and only requires mild knowledge of astrophysics, chemistry, theology and colour theory. I have a powerpoint if you need it queen xoxo
Did you post your power point somewhere?
do you have the ppt link?
Ngl didn’t expect this much interest, I’ll try and get it posted online soon! I only have shown friends
Oh slay pls post a link on ur yt page or something!
pls update us when you'll post the ppt!!
It really was Loona and Gfriend that dragged me into trying more ggs. So glad, you're checking them out and having your mind blown too!
Paint the Town is a shortened version of "painting the town red" which is an old time-y phrase meaning, to go out on the town partying and letting loose.
Watching the final thoughts part with a smile in my face because I know that even though you don’t do a reaction to their other songs now, you definitely will in the future just basing on how you loved all these songs. Loona’s discography is one of the best and diverse in K-Pop and I think you will thoroughly enjoy every song (especially the b-sides, in which the girls shine the most lol). Thank you for a great video as always, Caitlin! 💓
OMG IT'S HAPPENING! EVERYONE STAY F*CKING CALM! Man I was longing for this reaction. Damn it Caitlin, you are the best.I know I keep editing my comment but I'm losing my sh*t and I'm just about to start your reaction to favorite.
*INTERNALLIY SCREAMING*
I'm at 4:42 girl you are killing me 😂
5:03 I really need to stop now.
But for real now, like an hour ago I came back from my four summer class (like the ones that you take to help you pass your high school finals and examinations to enter universities) and I was really tired but this is really lifting my spirit right now. Thank you Caitlin for always working hard to put out content ☺️❤️
Edit:I just finished the reaction and I enjoyed it so much what the heck? Honestly I would elavate if you ever brought loona on the channel, but I know how hectic it already is on here so please take your time and take care of yourself girl.
Butterfly will forever be my favourite LOONA song. One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard from a girl group. Never fails to make me feel emotional when I listen to it.
I'm missing the moon girls and I'm so happy to watch your reaction! The way you were panting and tired after ptt was very sweet and funny 🩷
you should definitely watch all of their solos and subunit music videos! then after i also suggest watching hi high and hula hoop, and you can see references to the loonaverse lore all throughout the hula hoop mv!! im so glad youre enjoying loona!!
crying bc you’ve fallen in love with the most complex gg in kpop when you’re telling yourself not to add anyone else😩 but honestly you won’t regret checking out loona. they have a TON of good music. their solo songs? bangers. their unit songs? bangers. their group songs? bangers. not a single skip in their discography. their lore is also the most fascinating lore in all of kpop like once you learn what it is you’re gonna watch the mvs again and go CRAZY
i love when people find out about LOONA for the first time and properly lose their minds as the reaction progresses 💀. that’s the power the moon girls possess 🥹
LOONAAAAAAA YES!!!! Our queen's 😭❤️ Is a iconic GROUP👑
Fun fact: in Why Not MV.. There are no greenscreen involved.. All of the scenes is real.. They're even rent the moon to shoot the MV there
i hope u can keep reacting to the loona memebers' new groups (loossemble, artms, chuu, and yves soon!)
thanks for listen to LOONA.... hope you continue with this journey!!!!
if you want to stan them watch Loona the avengers of Kpop, the video is old, but still it helps a lot with the debut and all that. Each member debuted with a solo song before they all debuted together as Loona. Really stan them you don’t know how many times i have cried because of how beautiful and meaningful the loonaverse is
Don’t be afraid of Loona because you’re making the right choice !!!!
i don’t even stan loona and yet i stand by the fact that so what has the best bridge in all of kpop
I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS GROUP AND TO SEE HOW YOU LIKED THEM !!!
will watch this the SECOND I get home ❤️🔥
predebut loona is EVERYTHING the solos and subunits are still my favorite songs in their discography. i hope you can check them out one day
I FREAKING MISS THEM. IMMA CRY
honestly what makes loona such a good group is how they basically never stick to one genre, they have one of the most diverse discographies i've ever heard. i loved your reaction, the way you react just comes off as very genuine
Their debut song as a whole group was "Hi High" and they have a lot of other great songs like "Universe", "Hula Hoop", "Star" & "Satellite". Not to mention their Sub-unit and solo songs. Their latest title track is "Flip That" but their finale song for Queendom 2 was "Pose". If you also like to see how great they are at dancing, you should check out their dance practice videos for their songs but especially their cover dances of boy group songs; "Fire" by BTS, "Cherry Bomb" by NCT 127 and "Eclipse" by Got7.
when you say that they can dance, THEY CAN REALLY DANCE DANCE LIKE EVERYWAY YOU CAN IMAGINE. elegantly, powerful, cute yes they can
this is the best First Look Season, hands down 🗣😭 Chungha! EverGlow! Now Loona! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 thanks Caitlin
after hearing ur ranking, you GOTTA watch loona’s performance of “pose” on queendom 😭 but its best not viewed at 2am when everyone can hear u scream 😭😭😭😭
Im very happy your reacting to LOOΠΔ the most unique KPOP group out there that deserved a lot more attention and recognition for their empowerment, enlightenment, and diversification in oneself. Their lore is the precipice of any universe that goes beyond the reach of assemblage. Granted we haven’t scratched the surface of grandeur- from their solo’s to their subunit’s that is predicated on the diversity in their music and intrinsically their own.
ACKKKK THIS IS FOR ME!!!
contrary to popular belief you don't need to get into their lore/universe like, at all. i know it means a lot to most of the fans but enjoying the music alone is perfectly fine. i feel like you'll love their bsides too, if you ever get to them!
As somebody whose ult group is also NCT, Loona has been one of my fav ggs since before their debut.
Their predebut solo songs are also all amazing quality and their b-sides are where some of the best gems are like with NCT.
Also they have a cover of Cherry Bomb that went viral- (and got the Lee Sooman to work with them for So What and Why Not he was so impressed)
I really hope you bring Loona to your channel again, especially trying to figure out the lore lol
I felt so dang happy seeing this 🥰
hi caitlin i'm so happy that you checked out loona! these girls are so amazing :) loona is really THAT full package group their choreos are amazing and each member can stand on their own, but my favorite part about loona is the loonaverse, their "storyline" (it’s in fact so much bigger than that) they had a very unique introduction in the industry bc each member got introduced one by one, every month a girl would be introduced with teasers and her solo album and then debut in a unit (there is three in total and they all have their unique sounds and albums too!) what explains their korean name "girl of the month", their predebut activities were about 2 years long and before even debuting they had more than 32 mvs, 3 mini albums and 12 solo songs + bonus duo songs etc.. its completely insane considering the fact that they traveled in japan france iceland and even more countries to film them😭 they all follow the same universe and are very detailed there is a LOT of interesting theories you can check out but loona is already an amazing group to enjoy alone their solos and unit songs are all well put together, the loonaverse is just a very big addition to an already amazing group! :D
I really wish she react to them again 😭👍
Eclipse, Love Cherry Motion, Singin in the Rain, New, Egoist, Heat, Satellite, Colours
Thank you for checking them out Caitlyn. Tbh they don't just have mere storyline but a lore. Their own universe which is the loonaverse and if you dive deep into it, you'll find yourself diving into loona's individuals complex stories, how each choreo, lyrics, mv scenes, and colors are all connected.
watching caitlin descend into madness was so satisfying XD im glad you enjoyed all the songs so far, and hopefully in the future you'll be able to listen to the rest of their discography since it's full of variety between OT12, subunits, and solo songs.
Yeah the first chorus drop in PTT is just...INSANE
Okay but the second chorus when Yves comes in a couple beats earlier than the rest....
All the choruses destroyyyyy
I literally dont know where to start because there's just too many outstanding loona. I just hope she checks out the pre-debut project, the boy group dance covers (she'll love cherry bomb, fire and eclipse), the dance practices and probably the Avengers of Kpop video? I just hope we keep getting loona contents here. 😊 Maybe if she's more into it, then we can start talking about the lore and the loonaverse. Hopefully, the b-sides, the solos and the subunits would eventually come because that's where the treasure is hidden. 🤭
yes yes yes a million times yes
Love loona! Butterfly is such a beautiful songs and mv They debuted one at a time, each dropping a solo with subunits too. They have a lot of great songs! Always appreciate your reactions
the fact that they're gonna be on tour in the US is insane. i'm so proud of them i wish i could experience them live too because i know their energy is insane.
when u free time, just go check their solo, sub unit or bside. loona got god tier discography
I’m glad you liked Loona so much and especially appreciated their versatility. Might I suggest a first look for next season dedicated to pre-debut Loona? Because you’ve barely scratched he surface of what they’re capable of. If you want to keep it to 5, of the top of my head there’s Love Cherry Motion by Choerry, new by Yves, Around You by Hyunjin, Everyday I love you by Vivi and Heart Attack by Chuu that are all well worth checking out.
LOONA are so, so, SO very special to me. Thank you for watching them!
Yessss, loona is bright and dark! they have this flavor mixed
They adapt well to the new sound and concept of every comeback they do. They really are flexible and hardworking to pull it off seamless. Like actors on a movie
loona got the girl giggling and blushing
the number 1 kpop group in my heart! I'm glad you enjoyed them! there's so much more to discover about them I promise it won't be boring and you'll find load more good music to vibe to. they have a unique predebut project where all 12 members debuted solo and had subunits before forming the full group. which is part of why they were already so in sync for favorite. they're very diverse and do beautiful soft, nostalgic concepts, as well as harder ones with a unique twist. there's lore galore andyou can go all out on that if you like. it be complicated though. they've done a few iconic dance covers and they were recently on queendom, so there's cool performances like that to check out. in general they're a great dance group so the performances and dance practices are amazing. all 12 members have great personalities that go so well together. they're super goofy and famously don't shy away from awkward interactions either (some members cannot talk normally to each other and the rest make fun of them, but that's what u get when u throw 12 people together right). they so precious. and the memes are great. i wanted to say something nive but now i'm word vomiting about my love of them. oh well. out of these songs butterfly, favorite and PTT are my favorites, idk about the order though. There recept title track flip that however is probably my new fav loona title track. it gets us og orbits nostalgic for that predebut time and has a softer sound. b-side wise you won't be disappointed, they dont do bad songs. it's all 24k. love the video, thanks! ♥
I really love your videos and I'm looking forward to seeing your reaction to Yves's album LOOP and ARTMS's album Dall 🙏🏻 They're all LOONA members
I don't stan LOONA but damn, I'm excited everytime they make a comeback.
Their debut song "Hi High" is cute and fun, you should listen to it if you have time!
And if you are interested in them, they have their own universe (LOONAVERSE). Each of the 12 members have a solo song too, and they have subunits!
I really love your reactions and this season of the serie is giving me life! Keep going, watching you from France!!
After these I’m sure you would love to see Loona’s POSE Queendom performance!! And to see a different side of them Hi High, Star, and Flip That are good MVs to look at
Loona are the b-side queens for me, along with RV! So i definitely recommend checking out their albums, when you have the time and energy💕 You're in for a world of amazing music!
Such innocence when Caitlin says "Is there a storyline?" oh darling you gotta a big storm coming
so funny how you described how hard-hitting their songs are, then their recent release is flip that with a summer concept. I hope you'll listen to it as well. and definitely, check out the b-sides! I recommend Satellite.
Is it a story line? no. Is a motherf*ckin DIFFERENT UNNIVERSE, it’s called Loonaverse, i’ve been an orbit for 3 years and it still blows my mind. like EVERYTHING you see is there for a reason, i’ve never seen something like that in my whole life not in Kpop not in western music, it feels like a f*ckin movie
I'm back here again after Caitlin said SHE HAS AN INTERVIEW WITH LOOSSEMBLE!!!
Another day, another slay. The girls just keep slaying these youtubers without mercy.
Caitlin, Loona deserves a series on its own. They have 48 MVs in total, of which 36 were pre-debut era.
gigii brought me here and I'm so happy to have found you! your reactions are infectious and bring a smile to my face :)
I have watch this reaction more than 5 times already. BEST REACTION EVER!
Thank you soo much for reacting to Loona they are my ults . And I’m so happy that my favorite reactor has reacted to them !
