me too. i kinda like his singing more than his rapping. not that his rap is bad, his rap is fine af. but his singing vocal tho, i love his singing voice tone is guess.
I think Leedo might enjoy singing more than rapping but his voice is really unique and suits rapping really well so he was told to or decided to work on that more. However that’s just my opinion
It’s a masterpiece, truly incredible. These guys are so talented but yet still underrated and I hope they blow from this comeback or soon. This MV is literally like a drama-filled action movie with some horror and I’m ALL FOR IT!!! Everyone looks amazing and did spectacular! Leedo dynamic voice like has me whipped back and forth... My only complaint is I think Xion barely has any lines, if any. And he has little screen time even though he’s a visual. I love his voice and I wish I could hear it more.
i think he had more screentime this time. more solo shot of him, and hes also in center quite a few times. its improvement compared to last times. but his lines are still so little.
@@repz9190 but he has more lines in the bsides. Tbontb has a very difficult choereography so I understand why he would want least lines. Plus you know Xion was so exicted for the cb and said a few times that he suit this cb the most and even the members said the same. So I trust Oneus in what they are doing
@@ararefanboy287 well his visual in this comeback is outstanding. we should not force him. he have his lines when he is ready and confident with himself more.
This was just a Superior concept by Oneus and RBW, these boys trend such a fine line between Androgynous and Masculine, and frankly its kinda hot. I'm a little bummed that the Xion teaser wasn't the single because that had me hyped as hell for this CB. Overall I think Come Back Home was a better song,but this MV is just chef kisses!
Oh my aren't you the one under reacttorhek's video ? 😂 I'm sorry for the people who have liked your harmless looking comment without knowing how disrespectful , rude and narrow minded you are lol
No disrespect to Oneus or To Moons, I obviously know all these men are very talented. But damn, I just cannot take my eyes of Lee Do, that man is not real. I was blown away by his presence in RTK, not just his AMAZING visuals (seriously, he is the most beautiful idol I have seen in my life), his DEEP voice, power when dancing, but his GREAT vocals?! His is a whole damn package. I have definetly to give more listens to the song, it's very weird, so many changes, I think I'll get there. It's just that Come Back Home was so good that to me, To Be or Not To Be needs more punch. Congrats to the boys though, I really admire idols, they are constantly working hard 💪
Imagine they're performing "to be or not to be" at award shows like MAMA, MMA, and end of the year festivals, damn. the other idols must be so freaked out and shocked. Akssdlsdjdsxk can't wait 😳
Hi! Nice reaction! Here I made (with help of a lot of theories I read from twitter, so creadits for all the genius up there hehe) a theory connecting the Oneus universe and their MVs: In Lit, the 6 monarchs enjoy and celebrate together, but Helios (god of the sun) gets jealous and curses them, a blood curse that will turn them into vampires, and the moon turns red (this happens in RTK's Lit performance). So, in Twilight the monarchs, turned into vampires, they see that the only possibility to stay alive is to drink the blood of humans, but since Oneus love them, they will only drink the blood of the servants of Helios, who want to kill them. And in CBH they fight with the servants and save the boy, who can end the blood curse and let the sun return to normal. In the Story Film 1, Oneus locks up the souls of the Servants in the necklace. "The monarchs realized that as long as they existed together, humans could never escape the bridle of pain" so, they decide to give their souls to the necklace. And "Helios's gaze disappeared into the eternal darkness, beyond the unreachable sun." (The necklace appear previously in Twilight, in RTK's CBH performance, the photo of the track list of Lived and the Story Film 1). So TBONTB and Valkyrie can be considered two different endings, the decisions that the monarchs made. In Valkyrie, they are in closed, dark places where there are rays of light that illuminate them. And they decided to get trapped inside the necklace (creadit to persynelkpop). But in TBONTB they recover the necklace where their souls are and they recover their powers (symbolized by Keonhee and the crown) and they are ready to face Helios. Plus; In Valkyrie, Leedo has wings, and in TBONTB we can see Leedo's back as if they had been ripped off (Helios was the culprit in taking away his powers). So yeah .... if this makes sense great, but okay hehe I'm dying not gonna lie
I totally agree with you about them being concept kings and thank you for mentioning their acting skills too. I am just in love with this whole aesthetic and the song is amazing. These boys literally have everything going for them and deserve all the success in the world. And the live stages are going to be INSANE 🔥🔥🔥
The meter changes in this song is CRAZY .... sooo many different textures and styles .... this comeback is based on contrast and they've done a phenomenal job portraying that ... from the song's title and overall production , to the music video's Color palettes .... their best to date, and one of the bests of 2020 so far.... and I also have to mention that besides from the members' individual skills and the group's amazing songs , one of the best factors about oneus , which made me a BIG tomoon , is the elegance in their concept ... This is their darkest concept they've done so far , but I can still see that classy elegance , not forced masculinity , I love BALANCE !
And the funny thing is they just debuted last year. I feel like they have been way longer than that because of the number of great comebacks and songs they have!!! The next one will definitely be monsters waking up 😂😂😂. Can't wait again
@@TP4211 Yeah, they debuted January 2019. But already got a couple of great songs. 2019: Valkyrie, Twilight, & Lit 2020: A song written Easily, Come back home, & To be or not to be.
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOUR COMMENT. the MV is too overpower that I took my attention away from the song. But as I been repeatedly playing this on playback. The song actually grow on you. I hope this song will be the same case as Maria Hwasa MV. where the MV have so many things going on but in the end the song Maria itself is catchy af and now trending. Leedo singing at the earlier part got me hooked.
let's all admit that to be or not to be is leedo's era ✊😔 I'm a new tomoon and I'm proud to stan oneus ❤️ thank you for reacting to these talented boys!!!
This was their best. I agree with you that this is their best MV so far. And the song man i was not expecting "To be or not to be" to come out like this in the song.
This is a song where you need to watch the music video to feel the vibe. And I'm living for Leedo's hair and vocals and rap. Fire. In short, this is *Royalty.*
I'm sorry for this long essay, but here's the overall story if you were curious, plus some ''theory'' / observations of mine ^^ So as we all know from Come Back Home's story film, ONEUS were 6 monarchs who were loved and worshipped by the people they ruled over, a love equally as strong as the love the monarchs held for their people. Upon seeing just how worshipped the monarchs were by humans, Helios became jealous and threatened to take away the sun from the humans. Fearful of being cursed by the sun deity, the humans sacrificed the six monarchs and all their servants - having been banished to the eternal night by Helios, the servants became cursed ghouls and the monarchs being cursed with having to drink human blood, something they did only to evil-doers as they still held love for humans, despite being sacrificed. Seeing how the now-vampire monarchs protected humans, the cursed servants became enraged - they were disgusted by the humans' betrayal (sacrificing the monarchs and them in order to keep the sun) and a war broke out between the monarchs and the cursed servants. The monarchs worshipped the moon and waited for the day of an eclipse, as a child would be born - one who were to be used for a ceremony to bring the eternal night to its end. Once the child was born, the cursed servants tried to kill the child - which the monarchs were protecting. A war that lasted ten years. In the end, the monarchs finally won, however one servant was left - one they couldn't kill, as the servant had told them that on the night of a red moon, he would come back for the child. The sky turned red with the moon, and just like the servant had told, he rose again and tried to slay the child - however his efforts were futile, as in the end, the monarchs were the last ones standing. The souls of the deceased cursed servants were then sealed within a necklace by the monarchs. Knowing what it would entail for their beloved humans if they were still around (endless war, pain and suffering), the monarchs put down their crowns, and also sealed their own souls in the necklace. At some point, Helios was struck with grief at the loss of his son, Phaeton who died while trying to ride his father's sun chariot to prove to his friends that he truly was the son of the sun god, Helios. Helios's grief then turned into anger which fell onto the monarchs who fled into the darkness. However Helios caught them and stripped them of their powers, imprisoning them in a chamber made of the charred remains of the sun chariot. This caused them to fall into an endless slumber, and Helios cast the most powerful curse yet upon the monarchs - in order to regain their powers and escape, the monarchs had to consume the blood of the prophetic child's descendants. - What you see at the start of the To Be Or Not To Be MV is but a mere illusion - a dream in the monarchs' endless slumber, proven true by the fact that Hwanwoong wakes up from that dream and his eyes turn red. Throughout the course of the MV we see settings that contrast between that dream, and their reality in which they are struggling to decide whether To Be (Live) or Not To Be (Die). We can see how each one of them slowly is shown in bloody scenes or ones where they give into the temptation of drinking blood - Leedo bathing in blood, Hwanwoong wearing the thorn crown and blood dripping down his fingers, Ravn piercing people with his spear, Seoho seeing that he has to make a choice, Xion's charred hands which he later cuts and feeds Keonhee the blood. We can also see the waking up process - with Keonhee it's especially prominent as the blindfold that kept him blind to reality and kept him in the slumber falls off upon drinking blood. - We see how the monarchs enter a white room, looking much stronger than before and get ambushed by snipers. Those snipers shooting at them could symbolize their subconscious trying to stop them one last time from escaping - however their will to live is stronger, and they reclaim their power, as well as the necklace within which their souls are locked away - thus regaining their full power and breaking Helios's curse. At the end we also see Keonhee taking back the monarchs' crown, meaning they have come back - however different. The ''I have to kill you in my heart'' lyric could very well symbolize the monarchs killing the love they held for humans and realizing that if the humans were willing to sacrifice them to keep something (in this case the sun), why should they (the monarchs) be suffering in order to sustain the humans? Lastly: To Be Or Not To Be symbolizes a difficult choice that has to be made in order for something to happen - which in the case of ONEUS's story, means either the monarchs deciding to kill to live, or die and sustain their beloved humans. Which directly ties into how TBONTB and a bside on LIVED called ''Dead Or Alive'' are tied together (As said by the members). The phrase ''dead or alive'' also appears within the song, just like how ''To Be Or Not To Be'' appears in the lyrics of ''Dead or Alive''.
I totally agree that they may be the best candidate as successors for the title of concept kings. They’ve been consistent since debut, they have their own sound, choreography style etc. But every comeback they do is a level up and just as exciting as their debut if not more.
I love this comeback but for real I don't see Xion much in here :( and yes LEEDO WITH THAT mmmm mmmm 5:44 EDIT: WELL AT LEAST XION SHINE AT THEIR BSIDES EDIT2: AT LEAST HE GOT A CENTER PART AND HE GOT LIFT UP ONCE. i wonder if they purposely did that Xion and Keonhee will be lifted in the choreo like its so identical since they look like the same. Did it make sense I dunno lol.
Xion has more lines in their bsides. Plus the choregraphy for tbontb in really hard so dancing and singing might be a bit difficult for him yet. Hopefully he si really improving and now is gaining confidence. He said a few times that the one who suit this comeback the most was him and even the members agreed. I trust Oneus, I know they care so much abt Xion ! I'm sure he will shine in the future
I wasn't impressed with the song at first, because it's not really my usual style, but after a few listens, I can't deny how amazing this song is. Especially the lead up to the final chorus. While I hope they will go back to their less dark style in future comebacks, this is incredible. Also, I knew Hwanwoong is a good actor, but all of them did great, especially Leedo. The album also has some great tracks, my favourite is Airplane.
I think the concept actually goes all the way back to Valkyrie, their debut. Each of their MVs, regardless of how different the concept, follows a theme of dark and light. 1:41 in Valkyrie MV is almost identical to 1:36 of TBONTB in terms of Hwanwoong looking to the light while shielding his face with his hand. He is not the only one either (Keonhee and Ravn also mirror this) and it happens in all their MVs. I feel like they have an ongoing story happening but they haven't show us everything yet. I think the ending of TBONTB leads into whatever the next MV will be.
Okay- I haven’t watched your video yet. Bc I’m highkey scared. The mv left me in shock.. FOR REAL, I was not to talk to for an hour and couldn’t even watch it again as I usually immediately do. Fuxking heck, it’s so so good.
i love how every reactor gets confused about oneus rap line singing!! u should listen to their ballad bsides, red thread, white night, blue sky, ... leedo especially has such a pretty voice it's isbefikdfbdku also the vocal line can rap very well too ! especially seoho (auditioned as a rapper actually) and xion
Yes. Leedo's DUALITY CLAPPING IN. I was so loud reacting to this mv because I expected better from them and probably I was in awe as well I probably had my biggest OOOOOOF at Leedo's part I did not expect that hahaha I like your reactions. Oneus and dreamcatcher should probably get more recognition 🎉💪 edit: I was saying exactly the same thing 10:50 when I watched their suit dance from 1theK
La spécialité d'Oneus c'est de posséder 2 rappeur mais également 6 chanteur ! Leedo a la particularité de posséder une voix qui quand il chante est assez douce mais dès qu'il rap elle deviens grave!! Ce cb montre une fois de plus leur talent d'acteurs, je te conseille d'écouter l'album, sur tout Dizzy elle est géniale cette chanson ❤️
The song sounds like different songs in one LOL, and I think that makes it interesting, I like it! When I saw that scene with them being shot, I was like "IS THIS ALLOWED?!" LOL. Also, that ending scene is such a cliffhanger, it might be connected to the next comeback. ❤️
SONG OF THE YEAR REPEAT WITH ME!!! All the screentime Woongi got in this MV?? And all his lines?? Shooketh. I missed some of Keonhee for sure but honestly, GOD TIER. I’m so proud of our hard-working boys.
Let me just say that RBW need to step up their game. They literally have extremely talented high quality groups under them and they don't promote them enough like Onewe, Oneus, Mamamoo, Purple kiss, and others
Yes, it's from "The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark" by W. Shakespeare. Quote: "Religion plays an obviously crucial role in William Shakespeare’s Hamlet. It is mentioned repeatedly in the play, and religious issues are often the subject of extended discussion. To mention just two instances: Hamlet seems to contemplate the possibility of suicide in his famous “To be or not to be” soliloquy, and at the end of that speech he seems to refrain from suicide, in part, because he cannot be sure what will happen to his spirit after his death. Fear of the aftermath of death, as much as any desire to continue living, prompts Hamlet to refrain from killing himself. Another scene in which the importance of religion is obviously important is the scene in which Claudius tries to pray as Hamlet stands secretly and quietly nearby, wondering whether he should take advantage of this opportunity to kill the new king. Ultimately, Hamlet decides against such a course of action. Yet he makes this decision not so much because he thinks that killing Claudius would be a violation of religious law, but rather because he worries that if he kills Claudius as Claudius tries to pray, he may, ironically, send Claudius to heaven (and perhaps himself to hell). In other words, very pragmatic considerations, rather than deeply religious worries, prevent Hamlet from taking advantage of his opportunity to murder Claudius." (Source: www.enotes.com/homework-help/what-evidence-can-find-hamlets-religious-belief-293410 ) I think it's very interesting :)
Thank you for reacting to ONEUS. They are so talented but they lack the chance to show their music. It is because they come from a small company. Hope that you can react them more.🙏🏻 Your reaction is so good because you will find the story of this mv. Thank you so much.
I will NEVER get sick of Leedo vocals. I'm so glad he had so many singing parts this time around
me too. i kinda like his singing more than his rapping. not that his rap is bad, his rap is fine af. but his singing vocal tho, i love his singing voice tone is guess.
same here :(
Me too 🥰🥰🥰
I was so happy when ONEUS said that Leedo has a lot more singing lines in this comeback. Just... a;lkdjfa;ldfjk Yes! Please!
I think Leedo might enjoy singing more than rapping but his voice is really unique and suits rapping really well so he was told to or decided to work on that more. However that’s just my opinion
When she says: "we sadly have no English subtitles"
Felt that
Rappers singing is literally CHIEF'S KISSES
They added English subtitles now ❤️❤️
omg khadija u commented on my comment remember :O

My only complaint is I think Xion barely has any lines, if any. And he has little screen time even though he’s a visual. I love his voice and I wish I could hear it more.

First Dreamcatcher, then ONEUS and hopefully ACE too once they comeback ! They all deserve their first win, it's been long overdue! 😩
This was just a Superior concept by Oneus and RBW, these boys trend such a fine line between Androgynous and Masculine, and frankly its kinda hot.

Oneus never disappoints
Their songs are always giving me goosebumps
Hi! Nice reaction! Here I made (with help of a lot of theories I read from twitter, so creadits for all the genius up there hehe) a theory connecting the Oneus universe
and their MVs:
In Lit, the 6 monarchs enjoy and celebrate together, but Helios (god of the sun) gets jealous and curses them, a blood curse that will turn them into vampires, and the moon turns red (this happens in RTK's Lit performance). So, in Twilight the monarchs, turned into vampires, they see that the only possibility to stay alive is to drink the blood of humans, but since Oneus love them, they will only drink the blood of the servants of Helios, who want to kill them.

Lastly: To Be Or Not To Be symbolizes a difficult choice that has to be made in order for something to happen - which in the case of ONEUS's story, means either the monarchs deciding to kill to live, or die and sustain their beloved humans. Which directly ties into how TBONTB and a bside on LIVED called ''Dead Or Alive'' are tied together (As said by the members). The phrase ''dead or alive'' also appears within the song, just like how ''To Be Or Not To Be'' appears in the lyrics of ''Dead or Alive''.

Yes .... yes ...YESSSSS
Leedo
Periodt 🔥🔥🔥🔥
No worries at all for the teasers! Thank you for supporting the comeback and purchasing the album! ✨
Stay safe and healthy 🙏
Do you all just feel how much more Oneus could give us like- they just debuted and they serving us like this....
when you were still shooketh abt the corpses in bts' "on" mv and then theres oneus...im here for them!
Also, the severed heads in Daechwita
And their vocalists can also rap. Seoho apparently said he auditioned to be a rapper and not a vocalist
The gate full with hands at the end looks like something in fullmetal alchemist!!!
She is so beautiful
Thank you for purchasing the album! And supporting oneus overall :)
I love oneus.. Love your reaction..
I totally agree that they may be the best candidate as successors for the title of concept kings. They’ve been consistent since debut, they have their own sound, choreography style etc. But every comeback they do is a level up and just as exciting as their debut if not more.
in red thread Leedo sang, and his voice was like an angel!!
TO BE OR NOT TO BE
always runs on my mind. omaygash!
Thank you so much for reacting to ONEUS! YOU’RE MY FAV REACTOR!! ONEUS AND TOOMOON FIGHTING! LETS GET THEM THEIR FIRST WIN
Vraiment ce comeback est génial. J'aime beaucoup ONEUS et j'ai été surpris, j'aime BEAUCOUP. Puis Leedo.. :x ♥
On est d'accord que Leedo nous a tous tués ce comeback hahaha
This is exactly what I thought too!!
Yes, I agree 100%
My reactions were same as yours!
I was really shook to watch the whole MV...
Also I saw this MV for about 20 times yesterday!
Thank you for watching the ONEUS's music video ❤
Stan Oneus!!! ♡
And love you girl!!!
This song and the album are bops i'm so proud of them
0:55 DAMN SO WE AGREE this is AleXa's voice on the trailers right ?
Yup
7:51 @THE__MOZ on Twitter does! You should really check them out! They've done all of the teaser pics so far ♡
Ils se sont surpassés, déjà Come back home montrait une évolution de fou mais là, l'évolution ne s'arrête pas 😭😂
I love this comeback but for real I don't see Xion much in here :(
and yes LEEDO WITH THAT mmmm mmmm 5:44
EDIT: WELL AT LEAST XION SHINE AT THEIR BSIDES
EDIT2: AT LEAST HE GOT A CENTER PART AND HE GOT LIFT UP ONCE. i wonder if they purposely did that Xion and Keonhee will be lifted in the choreo like its so identical since they look like the same. Did it make sense I dunno lol.
Alexander Lasian i think he has a lot of screentime but not line :(
@@bsqviat I don't see much of him in mv maybe because I am thinking than xion and keonhee are identical hahahahaha
Alexander Lasian yes maybe 😂
Xion has more lines in their bsides. Plus the choregraphy for tbontb in really hard so dancing and singing might be a bit difficult for him yet. Hopefully he si really improving and now is gaining confidence. He said a few times that the one who suit this comeback the most was him and even the members agreed. I trust Oneus, I know they care so much abt Xion ! I'm sure he will shine in the future
@@ararefanboy287 I actually notice that too
They never dissapoint
The Wait Is Finally Over😍😍😍😍
Hwanwoong Bias Here👑
Im just happy that ur reaction video is more longer than other reaction video
There are subs on 1K channel, ONEUS show the performance version of “To be or not to be”
Does the performance version video count towards the str3aming views ?
capricorn 72 I have no idea(
@@capricorn7256 I don't think so
Yooooo that ending! I thought it was the gates of hell too! looks so insane i cant...
They released banger after banger. They are so good!!!
People so impacted! Us Oneus is a well of talent and creativity God look at this music look at this mv mother of the sky hymn hymn !!!!!! 🙈❤️❤️
ONEUS means rappers can sing and vocals can rap. They are so talented.
The rightful successors of CONCEPT KINGS! YASSSSSS
leedo has a very beautiful voice .in “come back home" almost at 3min.i fell in love from there.
Did you see this? th-cam.com/video/Njsp4-AJ6Ew/w-d-xo.html. I love his voice in this cover.
THIS IS THE BEST COMEBACK I HAVE EVVVVEERRRR SEEN !!! FOR FUC***** REAL!!! 😭😭😭😭💕
Yeah true oneus is a concept group. Its remind me of vixx
Just the choreo look insane❤
I wasn't impressed with the song at first, because it's not really my usual style, but after a few listens, I can't deny how amazing this song is. Especially the lead up to the final chorus.
While I hope they will go back to their less dark style in future comebacks, this is incredible.
Also, I knew Hwanwoong is a good actor, but all of them did great, especially Leedo.
The album also has some great tracks, my favourite is Airplane.
I think the concept actually goes all the way back to Valkyrie, their debut. Each of their MVs, regardless of how different the concept, follows a theme of dark and light. 1:41 in Valkyrie MV is almost identical to 1:36 of TBONTB in terms of Hwanwoong looking to the light while shielding his face with his hand. He is not the only one either (Keonhee and Ravn also mirror this) and it happens in all their MVs. I feel like they have an ongoing story happening but they haven't show us everything yet. I think the ending of TBONTB leads into whatever the next MV will be.
Thank you for reaction. Guys support oneus
Okay- I haven’t watched your video yet. Bc I’m highkey scared. The mv left me in shock.. FOR REAL, I was not to talk to for an hour and couldn’t even watch it again as I usually immediately do. Fuxking heck, it’s so so good.
This is a whole bop i really love this song also leedo singing is just so muchhhhhhhh to take in bias wrecker for sure
i love how every reactor gets confused about oneus rap line singing!! u should listen to their ballad bsides, red thread, white night, blue sky, ... leedo especially has such a pretty voice it's isbefikdfbdku also the vocal line can rap very well too ! especially seoho (auditioned as a rapper actually) and xion
They all need to chill!!! But Keonhee, SIR! I’d like my edges back please, thank you😫
7:18 when you hear this part in reverse it says “Devil”
Explains why their album's named lived
such a MASTERPIECE
Also, totally agree . . . Leedo killed me. He won't do aeygo but he'll go shirtless and bathe in blood? I see how he's going . . .
Yes. Leedo's DUALITY CLAPPING IN. I was so loud reacting to this mv because I expected better from them and probably I was in awe as well I probably had my biggest OOOOOOF at Leedo's part I did not expect that hahaha I like your reactions. Oneus and dreamcatcher should probably get more recognition 🎉💪 edit: I was saying exactly the same thing 10:50 when I watched their suit dance from 1theK
Wow....this is a masterpiece
Whenever it comes to oneus you need to dig ur book dictionary very deep to use big word to explain the feeling
Thanx 4 the reaction
*Your reactions are basically every ToMoons reaction hahahah*
Edit: I subscribed to your channel your amazing!
La spécialité d'Oneus c'est de posséder 2 rappeur mais également 6 chanteur ! Leedo a la particularité de posséder une voix qui quand il chante est assez douce mais dès qu'il rap elle deviens grave!! Ce cb montre une fois de plus leur talent d'acteurs, je te conseille d'écouter l'album, sur tout Dizzy elle est géniale cette chanson ❤️
Thank you for sharing your insights!
The song sounds like different songs in one LOL, and I think that makes it interesting, I like it!
When I saw that scene with them being shot, I was like "IS THIS ALLOWED?!" LOL.
Also, that ending scene is such a cliffhanger, it might be connected to the next comeback. ❤️
I love them so much!! Thank you for reacting to them!
This is a super concept! Both the song and video are awesome!
The song needs to grow on me was my first thought, now m obssessed lmao
the only reaction that matters
SONG OF THE YEAR REPEAT WITH ME!!! All the screentime Woongi got in this MV?? And all his lines?? Shooketh. I missed some of Keonhee for sure but honestly, GOD TIER. I’m so proud of our hard-working boys.
And it s how leedo bias wreck me 🔥🔥🔥
my first time watching you, you're stunning lol as well as this song, might have to stan
After watching the official mv, here I am with my favorite reactor. 😍👏👏
support ONEUS!!!
Singing rappers is everythingggggg😍😍😍😍
Let me just say that RBW need to step up their game. They literally have extremely talented high quality groups under them and they don't promote them enough like Onewe, Oneus, Mamamoo, Purple kiss, and others
Yes, it's from "The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark" by W. Shakespeare.
Quote: "Religion plays an obviously crucial role in William Shakespeare’s Hamlet. It is mentioned repeatedly in the play, and religious issues are often the subject of extended discussion.
To mention just two instances: Hamlet seems to contemplate the possibility of suicide in his famous “To be or not to be” soliloquy, and at the end of that speech he seems to refrain from suicide, in part, because he cannot be sure what will happen to his spirit after his death. Fear of the aftermath of death, as much as any desire to continue living, prompts Hamlet to refrain from killing himself.
Another scene in which the importance of religion is obviously important is the scene in which Claudius tries to pray as Hamlet stands secretly and quietly nearby, wondering whether he should take advantage of this opportunity to kill the new king.
Ultimately, Hamlet decides against such a course of action. Yet he makes this decision not so much because he thinks that killing Claudius would be a violation of religious law, but rather because he worries that if he kills Claudius as Claudius tries to pray, he may, ironically, send Claudius to heaven (and perhaps himself to hell).
In other words, very pragmatic considerations, rather than deeply religious worries, prevent Hamlet from taking advantage of his opportunity to murder Claudius."

I think it's very interesting :)
J'adore les tête que tu fais elle sont tellement drôle 😂
Thank you for reacting to ONEUS. They are so talented but they lack the chance to show their music. It is because they come from a small company. Hope that you can react them more.🙏🏻 Your reaction is so good because you will find the story of this mv. Thank you so much.
The rap THO😍
AND also ur hair sis😍
