I can't. I just can't.
All of the songs are so good. These stories, the visuals, the cinematography, the colours... everything! This series of videos is incredible! I have been sleeping but no more. OnlyOneOf is objectively brilliant.

Behind-the-scenes to the solos are a must-see! 🦁
ooooh i love behind the scenes videos! I'll probably die along with their gay panic 🤣🤣
@@monochromeUjiwelp I can't really say they are gay panicking(no, of course there are moments like that), they are more likely enjoying during the filming and some of their actions and words are a little questionable for me, but that is OOO we are talking about so it is normal.
@@agma_sunbeamm ahh right so it'll be genuine and fun
behind the scenes for #6 is a must yoojungs reaction is always so funny
@@felixitations oooh i'll definitely watch them all
As others have said, the pairings began during a songwriting contest (the pairings were called Only, One & Of, of course), but the pairs came about pretty naturally, since there had been previous interactions between the pairs (e.g. Mill and Nine being the maknaes, and Nine and Love hanging out because they did a lot of songwriting and producing).
In the solos, Nine and KB were the members most involved in the songwriting and production. Btw, if you are interested in that side of OOO, I think the YT-ber Lou has a guide that focuses on the members as producers and choreographers (even though it is old, from ot7 times).
I love the solo mvs not just because of the storylines (queer representation mixed with bl tropes galore, and the nonlinear storyline in Junji and Rie's mvs), but just the cinematography and colours. Very influenced by the movies of Wong Kar-wai, and each couple having their own colours (Kyujung: blue and pink, Junrie: yellow, orange and muted green, Wooksoo: red and green), but occasionally it blossoms into a full rainbow (at the cafe dance party in 'be free', the light prisms by the bed and at the pool in 'because').
They also use colours very effectively in other mvs. Most people have recommended most of the recent ones, but I'd add in the older 'Sage' and 'sOng of ice and fire', and the Japanese mv for 'tsurui Onna'.
All of their dance practices and covers are also fire, but I'll especially recommend the ones for songs without mvs, like 'dOra maar', 'bOss' and 'designer'.
oooh the details about the colours!! I absolutely love stuff like that!!
I'm going to get more into their music and I'll include all these songs for sure!
love your comment
Saw them in Concert in April, amazing guys, they are absolutely gorgeous in person , talented down to earth. I have attended many concerts and they are one of the best. And yes cant wait for their BL. Please react to more😊 😊😊😊
omg you're blessed! I need to get out of my country if I want to catch any concert 😭😭😭
and yes, I have more reactions incoming!!
"Hate this city" on Yoojung's song could reffer to Seoul (wich we all know is not so lgbt friendly). On their most recent comeback, the description of seOul drift talks about the loneliness and struggles of youth on a place like seoul that appears so glamorous and nice but still there are minorities that are pushed to stay hidden. So yeah, that part of the song could be talking ahout how Yoojung's character hates a place where he can't openly love the person he's attracted to, hence "when you're free from prejudice freedom will begin".
On another line, i'm glad you're liking OOO, i'm excited to see what new thing you'll discover 🥰
As the top comment said, the general consensus is that the cafe scene is the end of the story, but what they didn't mention is one of the pieces of evidence that supports this! In the first pool scene that comes up Rie is wearing the same sweater that he is in the opening cafe scene with the kiss, and they both look a little hesitant when Junji gets out of the pool and they look at each other, and after that, that's where we start to see the fight happen and the flashbacks. It seems like Rie came to see him and then they went to the cafe to talk everything over and make up!
I'd also like to add my voice to the many that are telling you we'd love to see you watch all the behind the scenes videos! It's great to see how much care they put into these videos, some longer cuts of some of the best scenes, some extra tidbits of their storylines you can't quite pick up on in the music videos, (like the reason Rie decided on for why they're fighting), and how much they all (especially Yoojung) love to squeal over the romance scenes.
since many guys are asking me for behind the scenes video, I'll definitely record my reaction to it haha
as for the story in Rie's song, I do understand now that the cafe scene is probably when they make up! They talk it through and move forward. Someone also mentioned that seOul drift is like a loose sequel and the guys maintain their pairings. I can't wait to watch that as well!!
I'm so happy you liked this series!
You know? They are going to do the real life of the webtoon bl "bump up business", apparently the protagonists are going to be Mill and Nine (the guys from the last 2 MV's), but they are all going to appear in the series, it premieres this year, but we still don't know when.
OMG A BL! I wont survive!!!
Yoojung confirmed that in his video for 'begin' it is the first time that the two have met. Also, each pair of videos are not directly connected with the others. Instead, the telephone box that keeps appearing is representative of a link that joins the three stories together from different universes (very Doctor Who, if you ask me!).
The general consensus on Rie and JunJi's story is that they argued, but the scene in the cafe, where Rie appears quite distant towards JunJi yet allows him to lean in for a kiss, is the conclusion and that they do get back together (as seen in the seOul drift' MV that I mention below).
OnlyOneOf do write and produce their own songs - mostly through Nine and KB, with help from a small close-knit team of producers that they have worked with since their first album. They aren't that well known outside Korea, however they are probably more popular outside Korea if that makes sense. They are popular enough to have just completed a tour of smaller venues in North, Central and South America.
The pairings in OnlyOneOf have been set in place since before 'libidO'. So over two years. It's not a concept for an album release, this is part of who OnlyOneOf is. They initially split into three 'units' (that's how the members refer to it) of JunJi & Rie, KB & YooJung, and Nine, Love & Mill and each unit wrote and produced a song as part of an internal competition and the fans voted on the winner. The songs are 'cOy' (JunJi/Rie), 'nightflight' (KB/YooJung) and '? (questiOn mark)' (Nine/Love/Mill). They used the same units in the MVs for 'libidO' and 'skinz' and have continued with them ever since. YooJung has said that they have all worked very hard to build the chemistry with their unit partner.
May I take this opportunity to suggest reacting to the behind the scenes videos for each of the 'be' series MVs - they are just as delightful to watch! (all available on the official OnlyOneOf channel). It's a great way to learn more about the members themselves - they really are the nicest, most humble and down-to-earth people, not to mention ridiculously funny. And also 'seOul drift', which is a very loose continuation of the 'be' series. Not really a continuation, more of a brief glimpse into where each of the couples are afterwards.
I see that someone else has already mentioned the fact that OnlyOneOf are starring in their own BL series this year. I don't believe it's been confirmed which members have the lead roles, but I know they will all do an incredible job.
oh wow thanks for giving me all these details! Especially the part about how the pairings came to be. It's very interesting that the units existed before the concept of coupling them up in romantic storylines came in.
I went to their channel to see what videos they've been uploading and I'm so happy to see that they're getting appreciated outside of Korea, even though it's only small venues. I hope they can get the same recognition inside Korea as well.
I'm so excited to check out more stuff from these guys. they're taking over me quickly! ☺☺
Mill and Nine are the leads. The poster is out for it and they look soo good! So excited for it and them.
@@maintaingmama omg I'm so excited as well!
@gmb048 thank you
I am new to this fandom. Can you tell me in what order the Mv/Storylines are?
What should I watch first and to then last? 😩😮
Please?
thank you so much for looking into them! i watched the other videos and i’m really glad you like them. if you want more things to watch from them i recommend the choreo videos for dora maar, suit dance, and gaslighting!
thanks for watching! and yes, those three songs and seoul drift are next on my list for a reaction video! I'll definitely check them out! 🥳🥳
Thank you so much for this reaction!! I love them so much I also can’t believe these songs are actually real😭😭They are so iconic for this
they are insanely courageous for this
Thanks a lot for your reaction! I felt the same way as you when I first discovered this group "why didn't I start to stan them earlier?" Their music and storylines are amazing! I would definitely recommend watching behind the scenes for each song in this solo project. As for music, my favourites are chrOme hearts, sage, suit dance, savanna, bOss and designer (the last two don't have MVs, but the songs are great!). Also, their latest comeback was seOul drift, you could watch this one as well. Again, thank you!
aww you're welcome and thanks for watching!
I'll add these songs to my list and react to them. There's plenty of suggestions to make loads of reactions!
the funny thing is, their BL called bump up business aired in korea!! spoilers from lyOns say that the leads (mill & nine) actually did a drunk kiss scene 😭😭😭😭😭
omg if that's true i'll scream
@@monochromeUji i’ve seen a few behind the scenes pictures and they have me losing my MINDDD
@@dotpointjump. omo you're getting my hopes up now
I knooooww..Rie is too beautiful!!
i've watched a few other videos and omg so pretty
i’m so glad you liked it!! their most recent comeback “seOul drift” kinda serves as a conclusion to this story
I really did love these songs!
and yes, others have mentioned 'seOul drift' as well. I'm going to include it in the next video for sure!!🤩🤩
they have choreos for the solos which are mainly solo choreo (+backup dancers) but have moments of pair choreo with the units! also they are definitely more popular outside of korea than within, korea is still too conservative for queer music. as i said already the members are all involved in their work and they're also really close to the people they work with! they call each other their family and hang out in their free time too, fans often call their producers the "extended family"
also i think the contrast between mill's mv and song are perfect, the song shows what he's feeling inside: frustrated and with a strong wish to stand up for himself. but he's outnumbered and realistically can't do much, which is what we see in the mv. even when nine does stand up for mill, he ends up getting beat up
I completely agree with you about the juxtaposition between Mill's hard line rap and the softer MV, it IS perfect. All of his anger and frustration explode out through the song, but the video is left to (mostly) show the gentler side of his relationship with Nine. I think they were right to go down that route.
that's actually a nice take on Mill's song. And I'm so impressed to learn that they're heavily involved in creating their songs and choreography.
Solo songs have choreos!? oooh I'll check that out🥳🥳🥳
@@monochromeUji sadly the only way to watch the solo choreos are fancams for now, we're all still hoping for dance practices but they only performed them at concerts so far😔
@@mel_ooo omo i'll definitely watch them in my own time even if I don't react to them
Yeah, in the mv you can even see that Mill has the glasses on (representing his meek self), except when he's in his mind rapping, or alone with Nine, expressing his inner feelings, and then he doesn't wear the glasses.
They draw a clear line between the shy mask he shows to the outside world, and his real face (both his frustration at the bullying, and his romantic feelings).
OnlyOneOf completed their Grand America Tour in late March/April, there are many(!!) fancams you can find on RUclips. For that tour, they sang their "hits", undergrOund idOl solo songs, Malamente cover (for their LatAm tour stops and thereafter). For their seOul cOllectiOn concert in May (fancams also on YT), they included GG covers and their b-sides, including candy bOmb. Bump Up Business, their BL, had a special showing at a film festival this weekend, broadcast dates to be announced. Junji posted a cover of Jimin's Like Crazy, shot in Brussels when OnlyOneOf were promoting a Hallyu festival. And Yoojung posted on Twitter GG choreo covers from Weverse fan posts; Rie said he'll be posting BG choreo covers soon as well.
woah these guys active as hell! good on them!
I enjoyed your reaction so much for multiple reason (not the least of which is giving love to the voices and comparisons to WOODZ's voice). I can't wait for their BL to come out. I feel that the acting in the MVs were so good. I had all these songs on repeat in 2022, your reaction makes me want to add them to my 2023 playlist too
omo thanks for the sweet comment! And yes, i can't wait for their BL either!!
Gonna edit as i go cause im going to forget my points. First off, i ADORE these songs, and im so excited youre watching them!
Second, you get it! This right here is why we rainbow folk adore them so much! Its like were finally seen and represented by kpop, which never happens! Its beautiful, and the fact that these guys are willing to do this despite the backlash from conservative Korea is so precious!
Also, do we have a Rie bias?? Lol
we do have a Rie bias I think 🤩🤩🤩
Omg, I've so many things to say! I was so excited to find your reactions to Onlyoneof as an Indian person from the community. They've always been a safe space for me and so many of us, it was wonderful to watch your react and fall in love with their music and stories. They do produce, write and participate heavily in making their music. I was even more elated when you pointed out the similarity between beyOnd and Woodz's music because I have always thought so! Yoojung and Woodz are highschool friends and KB once said during a live he was a fan of Woodz even before they debuted. He even helped in making the demo of OOO's song A Song of Ice and Fire. I thought you'd like to know about these interactions!
So happy to find your reactions, I've subscribed and will be waiting for more Onlyoneof and other Kpop content 😊
aaah thanks for subscribing!! I had no idea about Woodz and Yoojung until one other lyOn told me about it! I just felt like it was such a nice parallel!! and yes, OOO do feel like a safe space for the queer folks. I wish they get recognised a lot more for this
i believe one of them actually went to school with woodz (might be mistaken) and i think he even did one of their demos for them
ohhh that's so cool!😲😲 I wanna find out which one it is
@@monochromeUji i need to look it up but i *think* it’s yoojung (from the first mv)
@@beeperpie oh that's cool! omg have woodz and OOO appeared on screen for anything together? Lemme look it up hehe
@beeperpie6961 Yes, it is. There was a group of boys and they were called Hanlim F5 (as in F4), and all of them debuted. They are: WOODZ, PENTAGON Kino, OnlyOneOf Yoojung, Got7 Yugyeom & AB6IX Woong. So, he was pretty famous at school (where a lot of idols have studied)
@@LucyMinji woah! It's so fun to find so many points of contact between idols!!
Ayyyyyyy loved your reactionnnnnnnnnn
it would be great if you watch the performances of the solos and watched the exchange member show on their official youtube channel
alright! but the solo performances will all be fancams right?
yeah you can watch it on youtube, but make sure you watch the grand america tour ones, they are imo more fun, because in korea there were some choreography changes and in america tour the members were the backup dancers so it is really enjoyable
Thanks for your video 😊 They had BL K-drama : "Bump Up Business" , hope you'll like it too. 😊
If you love OnlyOneOf, I think you will LOVE Holland (he’s an openly gay K-pop soloist)
