"After killing a bunch of dudes, they were like, listen, we can't kill a bunch of dudes..." LMAO. I don't know why that's so funny to me but it tickled my funny bone. Too bad our leaders don't have such attitude towards covid deaths.......anyways.....
Stan SF9, CIX, N.Flying and MCND He lost trust on people and gave up being an idol, it’s Ravn who ask him to go RBW to do audition and that’s how he got in ^^
"That Helios bitch" I have never laughed harder but I thoroughly agree with you :'D Come Back Home had a longer story teaser than what was showed in RTK. The story told us that Helios got jealous of the 6 monarchs because the humans loved them more than Helios so he threatened the humans to take their sun away, in the end the humans sacrificed the monarchs and their servants and so they were exciled into a world of eternal darkness (and got cursed to be vampires). The ghouls Oneus are fighting in the Come Back Home music video are actually their servants who grew slightly insane and started worshipping the moon and wanted to sacrifice the child to break that curse Helios bestowed upon them. And you know what happened then. So from my understanding, the 6 monarchs hide the crown and the necklace with the souls of the defeated in them and leave. Helios son dies and he gets pissed so he blames the monarchs because he's a b!tch. I think the gun shot scene wasn't as random as it initially seems. The monarchs wake up after hundreds of years and their story is a story of war, I think it's supposed to symbolize that wars are fought differently now and to show that well decades have passed since they fell into their slumber. As always thank your for that reaction PD! ❤️
I think the white scenes are from when they were monarchs in their lives before, and the dark stuff could be them in their exile after Helios blames them. also the structure where they are trapped by the gold would be them sleeping in their "cage" the hands represent Helios' hold on them and they all have different nightmares as they slumber, Xion with his possessed hands, Leedo bathing in blood (maybe of innocents or the blood the spilt during the war), Hwanwoog with thorns which could represent them being sacrificed, Seoho being bound to a pole, Keonhee starving, Ravn being forced to kill. this video just gets better the more I watch it...
I really love this whole story, and it's true, they wake up hundreds of years later, you can tell by the first scene with the pillars, when they go back to that place you can see a bunch of buildings at the back.
"the kid now doesn't exist but he had bunch of descendants. Good for you kid 👍👍" OMG 🤣🤣🤣🤣 PD can we have listening party to ONEUS LIVED pretty pleeaasee
It's funny how PD always says "this is the best pre-chorus I have heard in my entire life" as if they did not say the same thing for Valkyrie and Lit 😂 I understand PD, all Oneus pre choruses are so good!!!! ❤️
@mariam navaid if you're told someone uses a certain set of pronouns, don't use a different pronoun in literally the next sentence. why do THEY go by they/them pronouns? well, because that's what they feel most comfortable to be referred to as, it is that simple.
For the guns I feel like it wasn't random at all, in the storyline, the monarchs have fallen into a slumber (which would explain why they start by laying on the ground, sleeping) and since CBH, hundreds of years have passed. So the medieval set is replaced by something more modern, hence the guns. You can see them in thevery beginning in a set that I would describe more ancient with the buffet and the city that we see them looking at at some point is them hundred years after that
I think those hands marks on Leedos back signify the wings he had in Valkyrie. The red jeweled necklace contains their soul. I believe the guns signifies how much time has past. I don’t know if anyone else got this but after they took the necklace back it seems as if they once again submitted to someone 🤷🏻♀️ because of the last shot of them falling to their knees ? Masterpiece!!! 🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️ they amaze me every damn time !! We need a full length ONEUS!! Leedos singing tone is just freaking beautiful BEAUTIFUL!! But it’s Seoho that gets me every time - so pure and crisp- you know what, they are all just freaking amazing ! They absolutely learned to bring more theatrics from the BOYZ, but they already had it in them which they gave you a peek of in Twilight.
I think both the guns and the night shoy of them looking at a modern city shows the assage of time , since in the mv they awoke from their slumber ( and they were asleep for along time as said in the concept film number 2 { i think it was this one??})
Mia Malard you know I didn’t notice the city scene? But when PD watched the story films the narrator (Alexa) did say for a 100 years they slept - good catch🙌🏻
I think the choreo starts with Seoho mimicking slicing open his hand or arm and that is what "wakes" Hwanwoong. Pretty cool tie-in with the rest of the MV, similar to the scene with Keonhee being fed blood and waking as well.
at the beginning of the choreography, you can see that Seoho actually mimics slicing his palm and dripping blood into Hwanwoong's mouth to awaken him (in their making film when they showed the dance practice, Hwanwoong actually makes a slurping sound when practicing that part lol)
I would like to highlight a very important detail I haven't seen anyone talk about yet: You can see in every group's career the defining moment of BEFORE and AFTER their participation in Queendom or Kingdom. Seriously baffling how the competitive aspect of this show help everyone step up their game. I don't stan any boy group, I watched Road to Kingdom because Queendom was really good, "no ragret" as they say. Oneus had a hard time in there but jesus fucking christ this song is amazing. The progressions and transitions are made by a genius, this is solid stuff.
Although the one month of rtk being aired was the worst month in my life ( stressful days , stressful twt dramas , freaking nightmares ) , I have to agree ... this show was terrible , many of the participants have expressed how they didn't want to be there and wouldn't do it if they go back , mostly Oneus , but it's undeniable that the show was a really big turning point in their career ( the only group I genuinely stan and am an actual fan of is oneus , but so far , golden child , verivery and oneus's releases have topped my 2020 favorites ...musically , conceptually intense !)..... And hell yes ! The song is definitely produced by a genius ! The way it goes through like 10 different texture changes besides from a super dramatic , melancholic chord progressions , to express the pain and suffer they are going through is so insanely smart .... I don't feel people who say this song was not good ... I feel sorry for them ....
@@roomofmirros Did my comment sound like I was saying the show was terrible? I loved it, lol, I don't think it was terrible. No doubt it was a rough time for the participant but I think that's on the companies royally fucking up the scheduling. (G)I-dle couldn't even be there for the first episode, Wheein missed a few episode cuz she was working on other stuff at the same time and in general Mamamoo was recording an entire album while doing the show (and had concerts the night before the first performance on Queendom). I don't know the details of the boy groups but I can easily assume it was just as bad. I think that now that it's pretty clear how this show works, companies could take this into consideration and not see this as "just showing up for Mcountdown trololol" you know what I mean. The real problem is the scheduling conflict, other than that everybody said they enjoyed having the opportunity to make award-show-worthy types of performance and really show sides of themselves they rarely have the chance to highlight. If it continues in this direction that show is gonna become like an annual must watch event. And I'm not even gonna talk about all the good it does to talented but not so well known groups like Oh My Girl, they became gigantic because of Queendom and everybody else got exposure, everyone comes out bigger and better.
I hated road to kingdom I just don’t think the elimination part was necessary especially when they’re all small groups (I only watched the performances/ oneus cuts/ a few extra scenes) But tbf I started as just a Tomoon and now I absolutely love Golden Child and the Boyz and I’ve been supporting all the others when they comeback - so I guess ultimately it did help but I’m still not happy with it :((
@@moonandoceans1488 Yeah the elimination was not necessary. At the end of the day it doesn't make anyone happy, we just want to see who wins, not who gets kicked out. I think I saw somewhere a statement from the producers who said they won't be doing eliminations anymore for future seasons.
ah yes...gore. i was so shocked when i saw the mv for the first time but honestly, oneus never disappoint. their music has been amazing since debut. anyone who doesn't stan them yet should definitely do so immediately.
@@hannah-elea IKR...I just can't ignore the talent the got and everything about them and their stages..I've known them since debut and liked all their title tracks and waited for their CBs but this one IS SO POWERFUL that made me stan them before the mv was even released.
The fact that I’ve seen them progress from 800k subs to 900k+, slowly but steadily gaining recognition, I honestly feel proud to be a part of this fandom and journey.
For me personally it might be my favourite kpop release of 2020, Oneus gives us everything this comeback: great song, powerful coreography, M/V with an engaging storyline, acting, visuals... I'm surely gonna check out all of their performance stages for TBONTB. And thank you PD for your amazing reaction and theories on this, can count on you as always
The thing I like the most about this is all the symbolic hidden messages through and through the whole video, like if we check the video from RTK and Come Back Home monologue about the Monarchs at the betrayal they've suffered therefore being cursed, so the child that wears that blood diamond jewel and born of a day of an eclipse is the one they need to protect, from the war against the ghouls. Now the black hand from Xion can be about the curse, they are locked into the darkness cuffed and tied, the crown of thorns implies pain and suffering, that they are definitely paying for with their exile, the flowers have their own meaning accordingly to their proper name and type, the butterfly has tons of possible meanings from the afterlife like ressurection, cure, change or even a representation of life, that they are given by blood since its what seems to drive them out of that numbness and slumber, the bloodbath on the tub where Leedo is can mean the blood of their enemies or washing their sins, Ravn and the bodies is defeating their enemies and the constant need to kill for blood to survive and protect, hence why we see Keonhee tasting blood, the blindfold that they wear in comeback home can mean a protection or shield and used in time of eclipse, the gunmens can be mankind or the enemy trying to stop them from reaching their goal and mission which seems to be recovering the necklace in order to summon the red moon or keep it safe while waiting for the arrival of the chosen one, and there's so many more like these tiny details in this MV that is atonishing (≧∇≦)ﾉ
Something I think with the item that Leedo is holding. In Catholicism that is called a Monstrance and it is used to hold the body bread of Christ. I believe it is supposed to represent that as there are more references to Jesus through the mv like the crown of thorns some of the formations looking like he is crucified. What i find interesting though is how the monstrance is empty but he is still holding it up. Usually that hold in the middle is filled. Im pretty sure that stands that something they once reverenced is now gone or something they praised has abandoned them. But he still wants to cherish it and revere it even though nothing is there. All in all i love this music video and song. It is such an amazing comeback
Thank you!! I saw it too and was so appreciative of all the symbolism so I was checking through the comments to see if anyone else got the references. :3
I saw some reactions where they commented that it equally represented sunlight, which is the same force or power with which Helios has them trapped in that cage of golden bars, it is the power of the sun
- Lived is not pronounced as well, lived. It's -Leeved-, I think to get that devil backtrack at the end - Someone correct me but hwanwoong said on a vlive that this was the first song he didn't choreo'd (is that a word xD), and is indeed the hardest choreo they had. - He also said sorry to tomoons because it would be hard to sing along tbontb because of the emotions in it, they took a lot of time recording it. I think we gonna get an MV for Dead or Alive, that last scene is the monarchs in front of Hells' Gates where Helios is(?) Because he's a titan and was vanquished when the olympians took over(?)
i wouldnt say the guns are random!! In those story films they realeased before the cb it's said that the 'plot' of this cb happens years later, after what in cbh happend?? So now instead of swords, they are attacked with guns, showing that the times moved forward! At least I see it as that!!
i am absolutely in love with that prechorus. i am such a fan of prechoruses, and hwanwoong sounds so strong. the distortion of the voice at the end of the chorus is cool. and yes, the choreography is insane.
Thank you so much for reacting to them:D And yeah, RtK gave them sooo much exposure! We managed to get them to 1MIL in 20 hours, when it usually took us at least a few days. Not to mention the first day sales, apparently we passed 20k, the last comeback had around 3,5k? (that's what Twitter told me lol). And we're charting on Genie at #16, the only other time that happened was with Come back home at RtK, when we were at #19! So yeah, their fanbase is definitely growing and we love to see it
The funny thing is you get the story quite accurately even BEFORE watching the story film! It makes me proud because ONEUS said that a good concept is one where they dont need to explain extensively for people to understand, and I think they achieved that with this. Thank you so much for reacting!
The fact that there are hints and bits of the story in every title track or comeback they made incorporated in this comeback is insane!!! The team behind Oneus is really doing great!!! The story goes on and I can't wait for them kicking the as* out of helios in that gate
16:00 The “having to put the crown back on was a process that hurt him” makes so much sense bc they had to kill the little kid they were protecting to get their powers back..
this song has been stuck in my head all day considering all the comebacks that have occurred. THIS IS DEFINITELY THE SONG that grows and creeps on you and will literally be in your head for weeks
the story is very much connected between 'come back home' and 'to be or not to be'. you can check out the teasers for more of that. edit: I see you have the obervation that they are sleeping in the beginning and waking up through blood is pretty cool. I've seen the teasers but I didn't connect the dots as well as you have anyway haha. in the live performance you can see the start of the coreo better. seoho makes a guesture as if he is cutting his hand and spilling blood on hwanwoong, thus waking him up! keep up the good work
I found it interesting that twilight in korean title is called "the sun is falling down' and throughout come back home and to be or not to be they mention that the sun god Helios is angry at them for losing his brother and the shattered sun chariot. So I think the storyline so far is Helios' brother did something bad and the six lords stopped him somehow, hence 'the sun is falling down' in Twilight, and then the helios curses them into becoming vampires, and then in to be or not to be helios curses them into eternal sleep and if the six lords don't kill/use the blood from the descendant of the child of prophecy from come back home, they are doomed to die. So, to be or not to be.
Thank you as always for your reaction and comments on everything. Literally, you got the history even before watching the story films, I was laughing. I really hope they can be more recognized because as you say, they have potential.
PD, awesome that you picked up exactly on the story points without even watching the story films XD That's a good insight on the crown of thorns, since the crown at the end represents them regaining their powers, that implies that they obtained blood from the child's descendants (despite the child being the one they worked so hard to protect and love), so that could definitely represent the pain it took to regain those powers I mean, definitely already the fact that they're focusing on story is a major evolution from their previous title tracks, because we can all admit that their first four title track MVs are definitely lacking in the story department. I'm so glad I got addicted to them after hearing "Lit" XD
This is them after they’ve moved on from protecting the boy. There’s a movie on Netflix called the Old Guard, and there is an very similar scene as the gun scene. And the premise is the ppl being shot are immortals and have been lured to the place by something (Oneus by the necklace the old guard was going after traffickers). Additionally the sun thing that Leedo holds up is similar to Helios crown insinuating they’re immortal. And PD literally pointed out the blood thing right when I was going to start typing it. Thank goodness...I didn’t want to type all that. Ok so I didn’t watch the teasers bc I don’t watch teasers. So I was absolutely guessing about the Helios thing. 🤷🏻♀️
PD, I was rooting for you T_T You were the chosen one Why didn't you notice the red flowers/plants from ASWE MV why why why *singing in Hwanwoong's voice* And the bats were such a nice touch in that scene with the night sky and skyscrapers T_T Joking aside this song reached its hand into my chest past my ribcage, took my heart, clenched it, crushed it, dropped it in front of my face and smirked at me with Seoho's bloody face. I mean, I love it. And the story film are such a nice bonus and explanation, and it makes me look at them, my new found masters, and say "More" p.s. that's a reference to Queen of the Damned if you didn't get it. It's a Vampire movie from circa 2002
Pls do the their Lived mini album listening party/reaction and pls upload to youtube too cuz some of us cant afford to subscribe to patreon. Would love to see your reaction to the album. All the song are soooo good.
i've been so pleased with all of oneus's work lately, they're just getting bigger and better every time. please also keep an eye out for A.C.E's new comeback on September 2nd! if you haven't seen their concept images yet, you should really check them out! some of the most amazing teasers i've EVER seen
Am i the only one who thought that the song in the background of the 1st story film was TO BE OR NOT TO BE and didn't realize it's actually from Dead or Alive?
My gosh Leedos singing gives me chills every time, that's just crazy how this guy can sing and rap, wow unbelievable, I'm glad you appreciate it as much as I do hehehehe, love this reaction, I can watch ur reactions all day lol you're seriously the best person on TH-cam that does reactions, always so smart when u talk and I keep finding out and learning so much new things about kpop, mvs and everything else, thank you so much for that👏👏👍
Wherever it's oneus I click on And u got me I can't explain how much I was dying for this comback, and how shock I was be , almost tears fell down don't know why Thanx 4 this reaction, I appreciate ur comment the most
Let's we thanks to Ravn for asked Leedo to get audition in RBW and join ONEUS! Leedo such an all-rounder boy!! Because it's so rare to find member as a rapper and also a vocalist at the same time in a group! Btw, TBONTB is best of the best they song so far for me, all their song are BOP, but this is hit different
This is one of the best comebacks... Everything was incredible from the song to the sin that was the video. Seoho jumping around is always appreciated in my book. They deserve so much because they are honestly one of the best boy groups out there
Your explanation of the storyline, even from what you were saying before you watched the story films, is actually the best explanation I have heard yet! You even brought up a couple of points I hadn't thought of, so thankyou! Man, I am SO addicted to this song and MV.
I think it’s so amazing that PD was able to figure out so much of the story even before watching the story films. As someone who has to always read theories to understand what’s going on, I’m always impressed by people who can connect the dots.
I see now why this is called form of therapy, his reaction to the music/mv and interpretations are truly therapeutic, calming, yet informative. Subscribed!
12:30 That's a monstrance! It holds the Host (bread wafer that represents the body of Christ) during Adoration. I think I read somewhere that Ravn is actually Catholic, so I wonder if the idea came from him haha iirc he also does the sign of the cross in the MV for Come Back Home :)
Well tbh they've been doing crazy stunts in their choreo for awhile now before RTK. In Valkyrie they did that whole matrix move where I think it's Ravn literally bends backwards. Then in the Twilight mv Seoho does a backflip and then Hwanwoong climbs their backs and then drops. I feel like this time they threw everything into TBONTB plus the kitchen sink
Also I feel like they didn't do crazy stunts in RTK cause Seoho got hurt and he's the one that does a lot of the crazy stunts and flips. Like if you rewatch their RTK Lit performance you'll notice that Seoho isn't dancing at all
You picked up the story so well despite watching the trailers for the first time! That’s truly amazing, that’s why there’s no wasted second on your reaction videos/kulture study :)
Thank you so much for reacting to this, and as usual loveee your reactions and explanation. PD is always the one I’m waiting for, he’s a pro and on a class of its own. For me this comeback is def a turning point for ONEUS, and I sure hope they will finally get the recognition they truly deserve!!!
"After killing a bunch of dudes, they were like, listen, we can't kill a bunch of dudes..."
LMAO. I don't know why that's so funny to me but it tickled my funny bone. Too bad our leaders don't have such attitude towards covid deaths.......anyways.....
seoho’s acting during the shooting scene? actual chills, dear god.
Also his acting pretending not to be my boyfriend... Top notch
xingforyou 24 what are you so loud for 😭
Oh my god I KNOW RIGHT I had goosebumps when he looked up !!
WHEN HE SPAT BLOOD omg....
period. the blood in his mouth scene was too much too handle
It's not a Oneus choreo unless someone is thrown, jumps off other members, or stand/sits on them. They really know how to do great formations.
And the oneus summoning circle
They made formations
Valkyrie- Summoning circle
Twilight- Clock
Lit- Throne
Aswe- Flower
Cbh- sword
TBONTB- Crown

HE TRIED TO QUIT?!?!?!?!?! HE'S MY BIAS!!! IM SCARED :(

The story told us that Helios got jealous of the 6 monarchs because the humans loved them more than Helios so he threatened the humans to take their sun away, in the end the humans sacrificed the monarchs and their servants and so they were exciled into a world of eternal darkness (and got cursed to be vampires).
The ghouls Oneus are fighting in the Come Back Home music video are actually their servants who grew slightly insane and started worshipping the moon and wanted to sacrifice the child to break that curse Helios bestowed upon them.

I think the white scenes are from when they were monarchs in their lives before, and the dark stuff could be them in their exile after Helios blames them. also the structure where they are trapped by the gold would be them sleeping in their "cage"
the hands represent Helios' hold on them and they all have different nightmares as they slumber, Xion with his possessed hands, Leedo bathing in blood (maybe of innocents or the blood the spilt during the war), Hwanwoog with thorns which could represent them being sacrificed, Seoho being bound to a pole, Keonhee starving, Ravn being forced to kill.
this video just gets better the more I watch it...
oh and in the end i think they're heading to the underworld, the door seems like souls trying to escape, and skulls littering the doorway as well
Helios's son death could be referenced in Twilight, when they say "the sun is falling down", or it could be Helios threatening the humans.

Although the one month of rtk being aired was the worst month in my life ( stressful days , stressful twt dramas , freaking nightmares ) , I have to agree ... this show was terrible , many of the participants have expressed how they didn't want to be there and wouldn't do it if they go back , mostly Oneus , but it's undeniable that the show was a really big turning point in their career ( the only group I genuinely stan and am an actual fan of is oneus , but so far , golden child , verivery and oneus's releases have topped my 2020 favorites ...musically , conceptually intense !)..... And hell yes ! The song is definitely produced by a genius ! The way it goes through like 10 different texture changes besides from a super dramatic , melancholic chord progressions , to express the pain and suffer they are going through is so insanely smart .... I don't feel people who say this song was not good ... I feel sorry for them ....
@@roomofmirros Did my comment sound like I was saying the show was terrible? I loved it, lol, I don't think it was terrible. No doubt it was a rough time for the participant but I think that's on the companies royally fucking up the scheduling. (G)I-dle couldn't even be there for the first episode, Wheein missed a few episode cuz she was working on other stuff at the same time and in general Mamamoo was recording an entire album while doing the show (and had concerts the night before the first performance on Queendom). I don't know the details of the boy groups but I can easily assume it was just as bad.
I think that now that it's pretty clear how this show works, companies could take this into consideration and not see this as "just showing up for Mcountdown trololol" you know what I mean. The real problem is the scheduling conflict, other than that everybody said they enjoyed having the opportunity to make award-show-worthy types of performance and really show sides of themselves they rarely have the chance to highlight. If it continues in this direction that show is gonna become like an annual must watch event.
And I'm not even gonna talk about all the good it does to talented but not so well known groups like Oh My Girl, they became gigantic because of Queendom and everybody else got exposure, everyone comes out bigger and better.
I hated road to kingdom I just don’t think the elimination part was necessary especially when they’re all small groups
(I only watched the performances/ oneus cuts/ a few extra scenes)
But tbf I started as just a Tomoon and now I absolutely love Golden Child and the Boyz and I’ve been supporting all the others when they comeback - so I guess ultimately it did help but I’m still not happy with it :((
@@moonandoceans1488 Yeah the elimination was not necessary. At the end of the day it doesn't make anyone happy, we just want to see who wins, not who gets kicked out. I think I saw somewhere a statement from the producers who said they won't be doing eliminations anymore for future seasons.
ah yes...gore. i was so shocked when i saw the mv for the first time but honestly, oneus never disappoint. their music has been amazing since debut. anyone who doesn't stan them yet should definitely do so immediately.
AND THAT'S WHY I'VE STARTED STANING THEM LIKE FROM YESTERDAY 😂😂👨🍳👌🏻
@@lobnahanfy8645 that's the only right decision
@@hannah-elea IKR...I just can't ignore the talent the got and everything about them and their stages..I've known them since debut and liked all their title tracks and waited for their CBs but this one IS SO POWERFUL that made me stan them before the mv was even released.
As a B.A.P stan I’m used to the gore lol
Pd is so smart,they understood most of the storyline of the mv before watching any of the concept trailers
Unlike us to clowns
@@Moon-zl2wp to clowns lmao☠
The fact that I’ve seen them progress from 800k subs to 900k+, slowly but steadily gaining recognition, I honestly feel proud to be a part of this fandom and journey.
For me personally it might be my favourite kpop release of 2020, Oneus gives us everything this comeback: great song, powerful coreography, M/V with an engaging storyline, acting, visuals... I'm surely gonna check out all of their performance stages for TBONTB.
And thank you PD for your amazing reaction and theories on this, can count on you as always
same, i think this is the best kpop song of 2020
ONEUS really just keep outdoing themselves. I'm so proud of how far they've come in such a short amount of time
The thing I like the most about this is all the symbolic hidden messages through and through the whole video, like if we check the video from RTK and Come Back Home monologue about the Monarchs at the betrayal they've suffered therefore being cursed, so the child that wears that blood diamond jewel and born of a day of an eclipse is the one they need to protect, from the war against the ghouls. Now the black hand from Xion can be about the curse, they are locked into the darkness cuffed and tied, the crown of thorns implies pain and suffering, that they are definitely paying for with their exile, the flowers have their own meaning accordingly to their proper name and type, the butterfly has tons of possible meanings from the afterlife like ressurection, cure, change or even a representation of life, that they are given by blood since its what seems to drive them out of that numbness and slumber, the bloodbath on the tub where Leedo is can mean the blood of their enemies or washing their sins, Ravn and the bodies is defeating their enemies and the constant need to kill for blood to survive and protect, hence why we see Keonhee tasting blood, the blindfold that they wear in comeback home can mean a protection or shield and used in time of eclipse, the gunmens can be mankind or the enemy trying to stop them from reaching their goal and mission which seems to be recovering the necklace in order to summon the red moon or keep it safe while waiting for the arrival of the chosen one, and there's so many more like these tiny details in this MV that is atonishing (≧∇≦)ﾉ
Something I think with the item that Leedo is holding. In Catholicism that is called a Monstrance and it is used to hold the body bread of Christ. I believe it is supposed to represent that as there are more references to Jesus through the mv like the crown of thorns some of the formations looking like he is crucified. What i find interesting though is how the monstrance is empty but he is still holding it up. Usually that hold in the middle is filled. Im pretty sure that stands that something they once reverenced is now gone or something they praised has abandoned them. But he still wants to cherish it and revere it even though nothing is there. All in all i love this music video and song. It is such an amazing comeback
Thank you!! I saw it too and was so appreciative of all the symbolism so I was checking through the comments to see if anyone else got the references. :3
I saw some reactions where they commented that it equally represented sunlight, which is the same force or power with which Helios has them trapped in that cage of golden bars, it is the power of the sun
I was looking for this comment, I was so ready to write the same thing
- Lived is not pronounced as well, lived. It's -Leeved-, I think to get that devil backtrack at the end
- Someone correct me but hwanwoong said on a vlive that this was the first song he didn't choreo'd (is that a word xD), and is indeed the hardest choreo they had.
- He also said sorry to tomoons because it would be hard to sing along tbontb because of the emotions in it, they took a lot of time recording it.
I think we gonna get an MV for Dead or Alive, that last scene is the monarchs in front of Hells' Gates where Helios is(?) Because he's a titan and was vanquished when the olympians took over(?)
I think so too. I thought lived was pronounced as laived
Give me theatre vibes and I will stan. ONEUS concepts are tops and so good
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS ONE. as soon as i heard leedo sing i was like “PD is gonna FREAK”
i wouldnt say the guns are random!! In those story films they realeased before the cb it's said that the 'plot' of this cb happens years later, after what in cbh happend?? So now instead of swords, they are attacked with guns, showing that the times moved forward! At least I see it as that!!
I was going to say this ehe
i am absolutely in love with that prechorus. i am such a fan of prechoruses, and hwanwoong sounds so strong. the distortion of the voice at the end of the chorus is cool. and yes, the choreography is insane.
I didn't realize Come Back Home wasn't their comeback, but im not complaining if that means more oneus songs
Thank you so much for reacting to them:D And yeah, RtK gave them sooo much exposure! We managed to get them to 1MIL in 20 hours, when it usually took us at least a few days. Not to mention the first day sales, apparently we passed 20k, the last comeback had around 3,5k? (that's what Twitter told me lol). And we're charting on Genie at #16, the only other time that happened was with Come back home at RtK, when we were at #19! So yeah, their fanbase is definitely growing and we love to see it
ONEUS IS A PHENOMENAL GROUP.
Their performance, their vocals and rapping, everything is amazing.
They deserve a lot more.
The funny thing is you get the story quite accurately even BEFORE watching the story film!
It makes me proud because ONEUS said that a good concept is one where they dont need to explain extensively for people to understand, and I think they achieved that with this. Thank you so much for reacting!
The fact that there are hints and bits of the story in every title track or comeback they made incorporated in this comeback is insane!!! The team behind Oneus is really doing great!!! The story goes on and I can't wait for them kicking the as* out of helios in that gate
16:00 The “having to put the crown back on was a process that hurt him” makes so much sense bc they had to kill the little kid they were protecting to get their powers back..
this song has been stuck in my head all day considering all the comebacks that have occurred. THIS IS DEFINITELY THE SONG that grows and creeps on you and will literally be in your head for weeks
"the kid had a bunch of descendants because... good on you, kid" _oh lord_
This video taught me that if you don't analyze ONEUS MV frame by frame you'll be missing a TON!
Thanks PD, ONEUS is amazing.
maybe one of the best mvs of the year. oneus really out here saving kpop 2020
Please give oneus the views they deserve. This song is amazing.
let’s gooooo!! leedo singing is everything!!!!
Tomoons will hope for a LIVED album listen/listening party 👀👀👀
I adore Oneus because all of their songs are just so good and I love their beats and aesthetic and STAGE PRESENCE
i clicked so quick to see how you would react to Leedo’s singing part HAHA
10 out of 10... This statement always be PD's reaction for oneus...
the story is very much connected between 'come back home' and 'to be or not to be'. you can check out the teasers for more of that. edit: I see you have
the obervation that they are sleeping in the beginning and waking up through blood is pretty cool. I've seen the teasers but I didn't connect the dots as well as you have anyway haha. in the live performance you can see the start of the coreo better. seoho makes a guesture as if he is cutting his hand and spilling blood on hwanwoong, thus waking him up!
keep up the good work
I found it interesting that twilight in korean title is called "the sun is falling down' and throughout come back home and to be or not to be they mention that the sun god Helios is angry at them for losing his brother and the shattered sun chariot. So I think the storyline so far is Helios' brother did something bad and the six lords stopped him somehow, hence 'the sun is falling down' in Twilight, and then the helios curses them into becoming vampires, and then in to be or not to be helios curses them into eternal sleep and if the six lords don't kill/use the blood from the descendant of the child of prophecy from come back home, they are doomed to die. So, to be or not to be.
Thank you as always for your reaction and comments on everything. Literally, you got the history even before watching the story films, I was laughing. I really hope they can be more recognized because as you say, they have potential.
PD if you watch the concept and story films it will clear the storyline for you!!
Edit: oh nvm I just reached the end and u watched them😅
PD, awesome that you picked up exactly on the story points without even watching the story films XD
That's a good insight on the crown of thorns, since the crown at the end represents them regaining their powers, that implies that they obtained blood from the child's descendants (despite the child being the one they worked so hard to protect and love), so that could definitely represent the pain it took to regain those powers
I mean, definitely already the fact that they're focusing on story is a major evolution from their previous title tracks, because we can all admit that their first four title track MVs are definitely lacking in the story department. I'm so glad I got addicted to them after hearing "Lit" XD
Now im waiting for Listening party, coz every song on the album is just bop.
I love ONEUS so much, i hope they become big one day
I got chills everytime I heard or watch this song. We love good musical story telling.
Vixx and Bap vibes and that's honestly the biggest compliment ever
Pd: it feels like a sequel to CBH
Me: because it is
This is them after they’ve moved on from protecting the boy. There’s a movie on Netflix called the Old Guard, and there is an very similar scene as the gun scene. And the premise is the ppl being shot are immortals and have been lured to the place by something (Oneus by the necklace the old guard was going after traffickers). Additionally the sun thing that Leedo holds up is similar to Helios crown insinuating they’re immortal. And PD literally pointed out the blood thing right when I was going to start typing it. Thank goodness...I didn’t want to type all that.
Ok so I didn’t watch the teasers bc I don’t watch teasers. So I was absolutely guessing about the Helios thing. 🤷🏻♀️
Your explanation made alot more sense. Your really good at this.. I LOVE THEIR CONCEPT
PD, I was rooting for you T_T
You were the chosen one
Why didn't you notice the red flowers/plants from ASWE MV why why why *singing in Hwanwoong's voice*
And the bats were such a nice touch in that scene with the night sky and skyscrapers T_T
Joking aside this song reached its hand into my chest past my ribcage, took my heart, clenched it, crushed it, dropped it in front of my face and smirked at me with Seoho's bloody face. I mean, I love it. And the story film are such a nice bonus and explanation, and it makes me look at them, my new found masters, and say "More"
p.s. that's a reference to Queen of the Damned if you didn't get it. It's a Vampire movie from circa 2002
PD I would recommend checking out the EP! One of the b-sides, Dead or Alive, is also linked to To Be or Not To Be.
When hwanwhoong and raven has the crown scenes the beginning of the song. And in the last konhee wear it
Ths whole MV is ICONIC
Yes I agree Leedo singing is Everything 😭💖 💖
Pls do the their Lived mini album listening party/reaction and pls upload to youtube too cuz some of us cant afford to subscribe to patreon. Would love to see your reaction to the album. All the song are soooo good.
i've been so pleased with all of oneus's work lately, they're just getting bigger and better every time.
please also keep an eye out for A.C.E's new comeback on September 2nd! if you haven't seen their concept images yet, you should really check them out! some of the most amazing teasers i've EVER seen
THEY ARE KINGS
Am i the only one who thought that the song in the background of the 1st story film was TO BE OR NOT TO BE and didn't realize it's actually from Dead or Alive?
My gosh Leedos singing gives me chills every time, that's just crazy how this guy can sing and rap, wow unbelievable, I'm glad you appreciate it as much as I do hehehehe, love this reaction, I can watch ur reactions all day lol you're seriously the best person on TH-cam that does reactions, always so smart when u talk and I keep finding out and learning so much new things about kpop, mvs and everything else, thank you so much for that👏👏👍
Wherever it's oneus I click on
And u got me
I can't explain how much I was dying for this comback, and how shock I was be , almost tears fell down don't know why
Thanx 4 this reaction, I appreciate ur comment the most
Let's we thanks to Ravn for asked Leedo to get audition in RBW and join ONEUS! Leedo such an all-rounder boy!! Because it's so rare to find member as a rapper and also a vocalist at the same time in a group!
Btw, TBONTB is best of the best they song so far for me, all their song are BOP, but this is hit different
This is one of the best comebacks... Everything was incredible from the song to the sin that was the video. Seoho jumping around is always appreciated in my book. They deserve so much because they are honestly one of the best boy groups out there
When your reaction to Valkyrie was released is how I was introduced to Oneus and dang I’m so glad!
His reaction to Leedo's singing is such a mood
I felt that reaction to Leedo singing to the core, this man is just too talented
Hooray!
The whole mini album is wonderful as well!
I believe the last part is a teaser of them being in the gate of hell? Like helios's gate!!! Can't wait for their next comeback
PD your comment about their future make me soft :,) I really was waiting for your reaction. Thank u. I really enjoy it
the fact that oneus is so underrated and they deserve more
Your explanation of the storyline, even from what you were saying before you watched the story films, is actually the best explanation I have heard yet! You even brought up a couple of points I hadn't thought of, so thankyou! Man, I am SO addicted to this song and MV.
Hwanwoong killed me during the pre chorus! And leedo?! Well damn! But Seoho! Forever the best for me
Ugh I really love the song, and your reaction too. Also Leedo singing??? The video and the song are mind blowing, a BOP
I never was this fast clicking a video
I live for long reaction, I always love your reaction pd and thank you for reacting to oneus
I think it’s so amazing that PD was able to figure out so much of the story even before watching the story films. As someone who has to always read theories to understand what’s going on, I’m always impressed by people who can connect the dots.
Same lol. I'll always be dependant on others when it comes to theories
Honestly, I can’t stop listening this song. I really thank you for your reaction for ONEUS. Happy that there are more people seeing their potential.
Has anyone notice that one of the sets is the same place as stray kids hellevator , also sorry for my english .
I see now why this is called form of therapy, his reaction to the music/mv and interpretations are truly therapeutic, calming, yet informative. Subscribed!
12:30 That's a monstrance! It holds the Host (bread wafer that represents the body of Christ) during Adoration. I think I read somewhere that Ravn is actually Catholic, so I wonder if the idea came from him haha iirc he also does the sign of the cross in the MV for Come Back Home :)
i just founds this guys i am addicted to this song, amazing
Well tbh they've been doing crazy stunts in their choreo for awhile now before RTK. In Valkyrie they did that whole matrix move where I think it's Ravn literally bends backwards. Then in the Twilight mv Seoho does a backflip and then Hwanwoong climbs their backs and then drops. I feel like this time they threw everything into TBONTB plus the kitchen sink
Also I feel like they didn't do crazy stunts in RTK cause Seoho got hurt and he's the one that does a lot of the crazy stunts and flips. Like if you rewatch their RTK Lit performance you'll notice that Seoho isn't dancing at all
You picked up the story so well despite watching the trailers for the first time! That’s truly amazing, that’s why there’s no wasted second on your reaction videos/kulture study :)
In one of the story films the narrator said they “relinquished their souls into the necklace “ soo... yea
Honestly love the concept of the MV and the song is amazing
Thank you so much for reacting to this, and as usual loveee your reactions and explanation. PD is always the one I’m waiting for, he’s a pro and on a class of its own. For me this comeback is def a turning point for ONEUS, and I sure hope they will finally get the recognition they truly deserve!!!
OMG I WAS WAITING FOR THISSSS!!!!
you’re amazing, i have nothing else to say. you’re truly amazing.
