I feel like that is applicable to every K-Pop group because after all, K-Pop is still categorized as actual genres of music. LOONA stands out amidst the pool of K-Pop group because they are more unique and different.
To answer ur question: Choerry (the purple hair girl aka my bias) is a vocalist, dancer, and rapper. Pretty much everyone in Loona can rap, sing, and dance.
Butterfly to me is still one of the best Kpop mvs, comebacks, etc. I love everything from the message, the hair, the clothes, the production, the song, the choreography, etc. it rlly brings tears to my eyes as a black Kpop Stan. Thank u for this reaction, we orbits rlly appreciate it🥰
@@kydeon8893 yeah I was just thinking abt this. It’s one of the best choreos in Kpop but u can’t tell from watching the mv. They probably had a lot of stuff they had to fit in for the storyline and it’s hard to fit in choreo too. For me tho, I’d probably be happier seeing diversity and ppl that look like me rather than choreo, but that’s just me. But, yes I totally agree with u :(
YASSS OMG LET'S GO!! Since you seem to have noticed Jinsoul, Choerry and Olivia the most I recommend reacting to their respective solos : - Jinsoul_Singing In The Rain -Choerry_Love Cherry Motion -Olivia Hye_Egoist
So What was the first music video after Haseul went on hiatus, and she's been on hiatus since. The feathers at the end of So What represent her in the lore, as her representative animal is a white bird. It's theorized by some fans that the feathers represent an attempt by the girls to bring her back, but we haven't really figured out why she's gone afaik (lore-wise ofc, we know the actual reason for her hiatus). Thankfully Haseul has started posting updates for us again, and they're hinting at a full ot12 comeback soon, so we're very excited to see mama bird again with her kids :)
LOONA is so good that LEE SOO MAN the founder of SM entertainment liked them and became their producer after watching their cover of NCT's CHERRY BOMB 💀
Loona have no official positions. They’re meant to be able to do everything, which makes sense, as each member debuted with their own solo and solo single album. There are also three subunits, each with a mini album and two with repackaged albums. While the members themselves have said they much prefer being known for dancing or singing, all of the members have rapped at some point. The girl with purple hair was Choerry. The girl who’s voice you liked in butterfly is Olivia Hye. And the girl who was going off with the vocals in So What was Jinsoul. Tbh you could roll a die to figure out who does adlibs among the 6 that almost always do them. 😂 From this point, I’d recommend Hi High, their debut song, and Favorite, their pre-release single that was released before Hi High. Those are their last OT12 MV’s. Hopefully a comeback happens soon, which will give us more.
LOONA is called "Idarui Sonyeo" in Korean which literally means "girl of the month". It is a 12-membered girl group formed by Blockberry Creative. The group was introduced to the public by revealing each of the twelve members in a periodic fashion. Each member has their own debut songs and debuted as a whole after revealing all the members.
Loona did a dance cover of cherry bomb by nct and it was so great that even SM (Lee Sooman) was impressed. Ever since then, he’s had a hand in making loona songs. I believe he had a hand in making Why Not and So what. The person killing the background vocals in so what was one of the most prominent rappers, Jinsoul. P.S. srry for all the info but I literally love Loona so much.
I actually like "Why Not" a lot cause I think that has some sort of SM touch to it. The production feels immaculate with the quirky vibes Edit : p/s : I know LSM are heavily involved in both songs. That's why i said I love it because of the SM touch lmao.
those details you pointed out from Butterfly are somehow connected to the lore but it's not required to know everything about it to understand it! generally speaking the whole MV and concept behind it is pretty much connected to women empowerement, "fly like a butterfly" is almost like an invitation to search for freedom and it's a message to every woman in the world (hence all the different girls from all over the world appearing in the MV, that is something that happens also in the following MV and I'm sure we'll see more shots from all over the world in the future too, cause that is literally a core point of the group, each member during pre debut shot and released MVs as solos AND in different sub units from different parts of the world, and all with different concepts to showcase the "coming together" of the group, which will from the debut sing more about the empowerement and search for freedom while unifying diversities!)
3:06 I think that it's her actual voice, all the "wing"s are too. I don't know exactly, but I remember them singing it live and hitting those high notes PERFECTLY
each member has a solo song and MV that was released pre-debut, it was how each member was revealed as part of the group. the order goes: - Heejin, “Vivid” - Hyunjin, “Around You” - Haseul, “Let Me In” - Yeojin, “Kiss Later” - Vivi, “Everyday I Love You” - Kim Lip, “Eclipse” - JinSoul (the pretty blonde girl), “Singing In the Rain” - Choerry (the purple hair), “Love Cherry Motion” - Yves, “New” - Chuu, “Heart Attack” - GoWon, “One & Only” - Olivia Hye (said you liked her voice), “Egoist” there’s also subunits but the solo songs are a good start 😁
2:49 that blackout in that part means that the one who's watching (because you will be able to see your reflection) is also LOONA bc we are all LOONA 🌕
@@simpofmongmongie4345 that's actually what it really means. When the director/editor adds a black cut in a video, it usually implies that the viewer is part of the video. And as with LOONA's "to all Loonas around the world", it fits so perfectly..
Hi High(their debut) is the only title track you haven't checked out yet and then (if you still want to see more of them) you should go in order of the solos songs of each member (you can find a playlist on youtube) and then subunits (there are only three) :) Edit: Favorite is another title track i forgot about btw
I don't think Favorite counts as a title track though. More like a pre-release maybe. Like BTS' Black Swan. (Maybe I'm wrong tho, I've just never seen it being referred to as a title track)
@@alvinswayn oof I can’t wait til he reacts to them tho, all their solo songs are certified bops, (some of) my fav ones are lcm, vivid, egoist, eclipse (kim lip came to kill everyone with this one😩) and then all the others
Finally, you don't know how long I've been waiting for you to react to more Loona since Star, thank you Sir, Dreamcatcher and Loona are my top favorite groups 😊😊
It’s funny how in every video u say that jinsoul is beautiful without realize that is the same person and YES SHE IS and she is the potential bias of fifi
Loona's roles are really flexible, so there aren't really typical roles like main rapper, main dancer, main vocalist, etc. There are members that are known for being very good dancers and vocalists, but they rotate around how they're being used a lot, and I'd say their roles are more about their vocal textures and sounds needed for specific songs. Things are a little different in the subunits and solos though, which you should definitely go through after you've seen all of the ot12/11 music videos. Stanning Loona is kind of a journey, where if you watch things in order, you get to experience each member individually and watch the group being built over a couple years of predebut concepts. There's really nothing like it, and it makes learning members and their styles easier and very interesting.
It's great to see you react to more LOONA! I was really intimidated by the number of members too, but when I tried to get into them a few months ago it was surprisingly easy to learn and fall in love with each of the girls. They're all amazing, and LOONA's discography is fantastic. Full of bops! I was waiting for your reaction to that So What bridge, I knew you'd love it haha. Definitely one of my favourite bridges in kpop. Those amazing vocals after the bridge were Jinsoul by the way, she does great adlibs like that on a lot of LOONA songs. It's one of the things that really made her my bias 😍 I'd highly recommend checking out each member's solo MV's next, there's a lot of variety in them but they're all really high quality songs. I think Olivia Hye's Egoist, Heejin's Vivid, and Chuu's Heart Attack would be great ones for you to start with.
as someone who first got into kpop through girls generation, red velvet and exo, i feel like we have a VERY similar music taste so i'd recommend: sweet crazy love by the subunit odd eye circle, dancing in the rain by jinsoul aka the girl you kept saying was beautiful and your purple haired girl choerry's solo - love cherry motion (just bc it's... special and i'd love to see your reaction). but honestly, loona is one of those special gems of kpop where each and every song is so unique and gold so you can't go wrong with whatever you choose to react to next :)
Butterfly is definitely a more of a hybrid art film and performance video than it is a music video, which is a very bold choice for a title track that they promoted
I came back to this video to see if anybody recommended Hi High and didn’t rlly see anybody say it but if you want a catchy song Hi High is def catchy and it’s their debut and def still my fav Loona song
Sir Austin I'm a casual lurker in your youtube and I've been waiting for your reaction to Loona for so long I'm so glad you're checking them out! They're one of the most unique girl groups I've seen and heard. Based on your reactions you singled out Choerry (purple haired girl) Jinsoul (blonde girl) and Kim Lip (the goddess) all 3 are a part of the sub unit Odd Eye Circle! You should definitely check their solos out if you have the time. I would advice you to check out their mvs in order but I believe its better to check out the stuff you wanna hear first then slowly ease your way into their varied discography! Thanks for checking them out!
"Oh wow she's really pretty" -Sir Austin to Jinsoul's visual. That's literally almost every first impression of Jinsoul by Orbits that I've come across to XD
The purple hair name Choerry (she's top 5 dancers of loona, she can rap, she can sing too,her voice is so sweet) 3:51 short hair girl, Jo haseul is a Ex. Opera trainee, she can sang opera so effortlessly. 11:22 the one who hit the highnote is Jung Jinsoul *Blonde girl from Butterfly (her position is rapper but damn her vocal is SO POWERFUL, definitely Main vocal material) i do recommend to watch their predebut Solo and subunit to get know their Vocals
austin! i’ve been watching your reactions for months now and you’re one of the reactors (channel) i go to on my free time. i know how much you love exo and red velvet and to be honest, those two groups are one of the groups i stan-stan. i rarely post comments on any channels here on youtube, but knowing how much you love exo and red velvet, and now that you’re starting to listen to more loona songs, i wanted to say how excited i am for this loona adventure you’re getting into. i’ve been a kpop fan since 2012, and i listen to a lot of artists (western, kpop, etc.), but the only groups i stan-stan ever since are exo, red velvet, and loona. and in my opinion, those three groups have one of the greatest and most versatile discography out there, a god-tier. just listening to loona’s title tracks already shows how unique and versatile they are in terms of genre. they never do the same thing. in fact, their title tracks are just a glimpse of their entire discography. loona has 12 talented and wonderful girls. these girls will make you fall for them in many ways; voices, dancing skills, visuals, and personality. loona’s music, from solo, unit, and full group songs, are one of the greatest out there. i know understanding their mv is a little confusing, but it’s actually part of their identity as a group (loonaverse: lore/theories) but you don’t really have to get into that if you’re here for their music, that’s fine too. the loonaverse is just an addition to their beautiful concept as a group. if you want to start listening to their discography, there’s a lot of songs to listen/react to! this group released solo, sub-unit, and group songs since their debut. you can start listening (on your own, or for reaction videos) to see if i lied when i said that they have one of the greatest and most versatile discography out there, along with exo and red velvet. however, i already think you’re going to fall in love with these 12 girls once you started getting to know them; music and personality/group dynamics. i just know it! hehe thank you for this reaction, austin! take care always and be safe!
This really made my day. Im Sone and Orbit. I love watching your reaction. Especially about SNSD and Taeyeon. Now you doing Loona. Thank You soo muchhhh...🥺
Also, we all have to recognize the choreography prowess of this girlgroup! I have never seen a very intricate choreography than butterfly by a GG ever!! And their dance covers!
And to answer your question no they dont have official positions like some girls suddenly rap, and some girls suddenly dance in the middle, some girls start belting notes they are just versatile and their music are so unique they dont sound like common kpop groups
Loona is a 12 member girl group formed by Blockberry Creative. The Loona project debuted each member with their own solo and subunit. Heejin, Hyunjin, Haseul, Yeojin, Vivi, Kim Lip, Jinsoul, Choerry, Yves, Chuu, Gowon, and Olivia Hye are the members. Loona ⅓, Odd Eye Circle, and YYXY are the subunits. The music videos seem so cinematic because Loona"s music videos include lore known as the Loonaverse. There are also no set positions, each member has their own time to shine in certain areas such as dancing, vocals, and rap.
Yesss, I absolutely loved this reactions. I was one of the ones that asked for more Loona, hehe. I'm super glad you liked these songs as well. :) You mentioned the member's solos and I think that's a good idea of where to start, since they're all so unique and can give you a taste of Loona's variety in their discography. Since you seem interested in the lore, I'd recommend watching them in chronological order to reduce confusion, but it's totally ok if you don't get everything or prefer to watch the songs that are your style first. (I've been an Orbit since Why Not era and I still don't know everything but I'm enjoying myself 100% and I hope it's a similar experience for you :P)
Butterfly remains their best comeback to me, the choreo is the greatest I've ever seen, the diversity in the MV just makes me very happy as a black woman and I love the message of the song. I'd suggest watching the full choreo in your own time to see how great of a choreography it is. So What has the best bridge of 2020, that bridge is SICK, I can't get enough. Why Not is just so catchy, I love it.
butterfly has such a heartwarming message, it is basically telling us to spread our wings and fly like a butterfly, so be different and unique and just be yourself + an overarching theme in LOONA is embracing your individuality but also unity between all different types of people :) as i said before LOONA always breaks the norms and boundaries
you need to see the soil of each member. see in the order that each member was revealed 1 heejin 2 hyunjin 3 haseul 4 yeojin 5vivi 6 kim lip 7 jinsoul 8 choerry 9 yves 10 chuu 11 gowon 12 olivia hye. there are also subunits: 1/3 (heejin, hyunjin, haseul and vivi) odd eye circle (kim lip, jinsoul and choerry), Yyxy (yves, chuu, gowon and olivia) yeojin is not in any unit because she was very young yet but the company had said it would join oed but nothing has been confirmed. haseul and leader of the group and is currently away
The last title track missing is Hi High but Favourite was also the lead track for that release and it's a song I recommend. An interesting fact is that the members were indeed presented one at the time with well crafted solo and sub-unit projects and from those releases I highly recommend Kim Lip's Ecplise, Jinsoul's Singing In The Rain, and Yves' New. I personally don't love Heart Attack by Chuu but the song has really good vocals in it. The videos are all good tho and very different too to reflect the different vibes, style and colors each member brings to Loona.
at 12:20 the burning feather is a very direct reference to the loonaverse. almost all of loonas music videos are connected and create a story (loonaverse)
They don’t have official positions except Haseul being the overall leader, Kim Lip and Yves being the leaders of their respective sub-units and Yeojin being the maknae. Although they don’t have official positions it’s still pretty clear who got which positions based on line distributions and showcased skills. I’ll add positions but keep in mind that all members do different roles all the time as if you keep diving into their discography all the members have rapped at some point. Heejin | 5:448:5614:45 Position: Main dancer, lead vocalist, lead rapper, center Solo: Vivid Sun-unit: Loona 1/3 Hyunjin | 4:488:4014:13 (in white) Position: vocalist, dancer, rapper Solo: around you Sub-unit: Loona 1/3 Haseul | 3:51 She was on hiatus throughout 2020 so she’s not in so what, why not or star but she might be coming back soon Position: Leader, Main vocalist, rapper Solo: let me in Sub-unit: Loona 1/3 Yeojin | 3:559:1714:07 Position: vocalist, rapper, dancer, maknae Solo: kiss later Sub-unit: she was too young back when 1/3 debuted Vivi | 2:2110:4913:58 Position: vocalist, rapper Solo: everyday I love you Sub-unit: Loona 1/3 Kim Lip | 3:179:5013:22 Position: Lead vocalist, lead dancer Solo: eclipse Sub-unit: odd eye circle Jinsoul | 5:289:3314:37 Position: Main rapper, lead vocalist Solo: singing in the rain Sub-unit: odd eye circle Choerry | 4:5510:1113:15 Position: Lead dancer, lead rapper, vocalist Solo: love cherry motion Sub-unit: odd eye circle Yves | 1:579:5714:52 Position: Main dancer, lead vocalist, rapper Solo: new Sub-unit: YYXY Chuu | 2:288:48 (in red) 15:00 Position: Main vocalist, rapper Solo: heart attack Sub-unit: YYXY Gowon | 4:01 (blonde) 8:50 (in yellow) 15:31 Position: vocalist, lead rapper, dancer Solo: One&only Sub-unit: YYXY Olivia Hye | 3:2911:4414:30 Position: lead dancer, lead rapper, vocalist Solo: egoist Sub-unit: YYXY The high note in butterfly was edited an octave higher I believe, and Jinsoul sang the high note in the final chorus of So what
As soon as Lee Soo Man got involved with Loona, we heard one of the most iconic 'SM bridges' in So What - I'm very excited for what they do next. He hasn't produced a song for one of his own girl groups for years and years - the only other song he had worked on directly since 2015 was Jopping. He clearly saw something in Loona (that Orbits had been seeing for a few years already).
As you are a singer and vocal coach, you would probably really enjoy watching their solos, they each have a unique voice that really fit the genre of their solo! As for Butterfly, it is really a masterpiece, everything from the song, their voices, the aesthetic of the MV and also the choreography and their synchronicity, it's just amazing to watch and listen!
aaaaa finally reacting to loona u would LOVE their solos songs especially the one of choerry (the purple hair girl in butterfly) cuz the song has a twist and normally shocks people a lot she the name of her solo is love cherry motion
It would be amazing if you reacted to their solo’s!! They each have different genre’s to fit every member, plus have 3 different subunits! I would recommended watching them in order since that’s how the members were introduced. Great reaction, I got so excited when I saw it was Loona!!
The adlibs in So What that you liked are done by vocal queen Jinsoul. She’s the blonde girl in Butterfly that you thought was pretty, she was the girl wearing the AC/DC shirt in So What ,& she was the one rapping in Why Not specifically on 14:41. She’s known for her vocal runs she’s really extra when she sings lol.
IMO Loona has one of the best discographies in Kpop of their generation! Like from the solos, to subunits, to group songs all bangers!!!! I get why people used to spam comments with #stanLoona
hey austin coming back to this video again wondering if we’ll ever get another LOONA reaction :(( their japanese release is coming in 2 weeks and they had their recent cb end of june this year hopefully you get to check them out i’ll be waiting for your opinion/reaction thanks again!! 🤍🤍
and the reason why in all mvs are scenes of random girls is actually a beautiful message by loona cuz they say we all are "loonas" around the world (girls stuck in a world who can unite and make a difference like a small flap of the wings of a butterfly which can became a hurricane)
The girl doing the background run at the end of so what is Jinsoul, she's the blonde girl in the butterfly mv that you found pretty :) (she's also a rapper, she's the one with long black hair with short bangs in the so what mv and she's the one in the telephone cabin in the why not mv)
There are a lot of different versions, acoustic vers, duets here and there, I truly recomend maybe only the main solos and main unit mvs of each? so it isn't as overwhelming, will make a mini list in order here just in case! -Vivid (Heejin) -Around You (Hyunjin) -Let me in (Haesul) -Kiss Later (Yeojin) *Love & Live (Loona 1/3) UNIT DEBUT! -Everyday I Love You (Vivi) *Sonatine (Loona 1/3) -Eclipse (Kim Lip) -Singing in the rain (Jinsoul) -Love Cherry Motion (Choerry) *Girl Front (Loona ODD EYE CIRCLE) UNIT DEBUT! *Sweet Crazy Love (Loona ODD EYE CIRCLE) -New (Yves) -Heart Attack (Chuu) -One&Only (Gowon) -Egoist (Olivia Hye) *love4eva (Loona yyxy) UNIT DEBUT! -Favorite (first mv all together, not official debut yet! it's a b-side from their debut album) -Hi High (debut!)
LOONA is their own genre. One of the most unique to listen group/artist in the planet. Oh and this is one of few Lee Sooman favorite groups, he thought that LOONA was so unique and talented that he wanted to produce their songs. Imagine, he wish to have LOONA in SM wich it is crazy!
Loona is Loona you can’t put them in a box or classify them if we’re talking about music or dancing since they’re well known for pulling off every style of dancing and their choreographies are considered one of the best in kpop!

“it didn’t feel like kpop. it felt like i was listening to whatever LOONA is.”

I feel like that is applicable to every K-Pop group because after all, K-Pop is still categorized as actual genres of music. LOONA stands out amidst the pool of K-Pop group because they are more unique and different.
WOW LOONA! IF YOU'RE INTERESTED, EACH OF THE MEMBER HAVE A PREDEBUT SOLO SONG YOU MAY WANT TO START FROM THAT!

I think that the MV is not enough to appreciate the choreo. Which in my opinion is one of the best I've ever seen.

I LOVED to see them center diverse women in the MVs storyline. so refreshing.
Someone said this on twitter and it’s stayed with me since: “the loona sound is them doing a specific genre once and then never doing it again”
One thing that is always consistent with Loona is they always show diversity and unity in their works.
YASSS OMG LET'S GO!!
Since you seem to have noticed Jinsoul, Choerry and Olivia the most I recommend reacting to their respective solos :
- Jinsoul_Singing In The Rain
-Choerry_Love Cherry Motion

From this point, I’d recommend Hi High, their debut song, and Favorite, their pre-release single that was released before Hi High. Those are their last OT12 MV’s. Hopefully a comeback happens soon, which will give us more.

those details you pointed out from Butterfly are somehow connected to the lore but it's not required to know everything about it to understand it! generally speaking the whole MV and concept behind it is pretty much connected to women empowerement, "fly like a butterfly" is almost like an invitation to search for freedom and it's a message to every woman in the world (hence all the different girls from all over the world appearing in the MV, that is something that happens also in the following MV and I'm sure we'll see more shots from all over the world in the future too, cause that is literally a core point of the group, each member during pre debut shot and released MVs as solos AND in different sub units from different parts of the world, and all with different concepts to showcase the "coming together" of the group, which will from the debut sing more about the empowerement and search for freedom while unifying diversities!)

As a bisexual woman I am so glad to watch my favorite gay kpop stan vocal coach reacting to my lgbt icons-
each member has a solo song and MV that was released pre-debut, it was how each member was revealed as part of the group. the order goes:
- Heejin, “Vivid”
- Hyunjin, “Around You”
- Haseul, “Let Me In”
- Yeojin, “Kiss Later”
- Vivi, “Everyday I Love You”
- Kim Lip, “Eclipse”

the girl with the purple hair sings my favorite loona solo it’s called “love cherry motion” please please check it out i’m sure you’ll love it! 💗
OH MY GOD FINALLY LOONA !!! i hope you'll check out their solo songs because these are so amazing and versatile
YES, IT IS TIME! So happy to see you react to my ults
I find his voice so relaxing lol
Finally, you don't know how long I've been waiting for you to react to more Loona since Star, thank you Sir, Dreamcatcher and Loona are my top favorite groups 😊😊
The So What bridge is literally the best thing I’ve ever heard. Amazing.
Thanks for typing this so I didn't have to.
You gotta check out 'Hi High' it has Chuu's iconic high note!
We need to force him to do a LOONAthon lmao. He needs to get into the lore and lose his mind like the rest of us
It’s funny how in every video u say that jinsoul is beautiful without realize that is the same person and YES SHE IS and she is the potential bias of fifi
Loona's roles are really flexible, so there aren't really typical roles like main rapper, main dancer, main vocalist, etc. There are members that are known for being very good dancers and vocalists, but they rotate around how they're being used a lot, and I'd say their roles are more about their vocal textures and sounds needed for specific songs. Things are a little different in the subunits and solos though, which you should definitely go through after you've seen all of the ot12/11 music videos.
Stanning Loona is kind of a journey, where if you watch things in order, you get to experience each member individually and watch the group being built over a couple years of predebut concepts. There's really nothing like it, and it makes learning members and their styles easier and very interesting.
It's great to see you react to more LOONA! I was really intimidated by the number of members too, but when I tried to get into them a few months ago it was surprisingly easy to learn and fall in love with each of the girls. They're all amazing, and LOONA's discography is fantastic. Full of bops!
I was waiting for your reaction to that So What bridge, I knew you'd love it haha. Definitely one of my favourite bridges in kpop. Those amazing vocals after the bridge were Jinsoul by the way, she does great adlibs like that on a lot of LOONA songs. It's one of the things that really made her my bias 😍 I'd highly recommend checking out each member's solo MV's next, there's a lot of variety in them but they're all really high quality songs. I think Olivia Hye's Egoist, Heejin's Vivid, and Chuu's Heart Attack would be great ones for you to start with.
STAN LOONA
👁️👄👁️ i had this weird af dream last night were my favorite reactors were watching Loona and then you uploaded this and now I'm freaked out wtf
idk if anyone mentioned this, but the reason why all their mvs are more.....artistic oriented is because they all follow the loonaverse aka their lore
as someone who first got into kpop through girls generation, red velvet and exo, i feel like we have a VERY similar music taste so i'd recommend: sweet crazy love by the subunit odd eye circle, dancing in the rain by jinsoul aka the girl you kept saying was beautiful and your purple haired girl choerry's solo - love cherry motion (just bc it's... special and i'd love to see your reaction). but honestly, loona is one of those special gems of kpop where each and every song is so unique and gold so you can't go wrong with whatever you choose to react to next :)
Butterfly is definitely a more of a hybrid art film and performance video than it is a music video, which is a very bold choice for a title track that they promoted
i've been waiting for this video since the day i subscribed to your channel! i'm glad you finally reacted to my ultimate group :D
I came back to this video to see if anybody recommended Hi High and didn’t rlly see anybody say it but if you want a catchy song Hi High is def catchy and it’s their debut and def still my fav Loona song
Sir Austin I'm a casual lurker in your youtube and I've been waiting for your reaction to Loona for so long I'm so glad you're checking them out! They're one of the most unique girl groups I've seen and heard.
Based on your reactions you singled out Choerry (purple haired girl) Jinsoul (blonde girl) and Kim Lip (the goddess) all 3 are a part of the sub unit Odd Eye Circle! You should definitely check their solos out if you have the time.
I would advice you to check out their mvs in order but I believe its better to check out the stuff you wanna hear first then slowly ease your way into their varied discography! Thanks for checking them out!
"Oh wow she's really pretty" -Sir Austin to Jinsoul's visual.
That's literally almost every first impression of Jinsoul by Orbits that I've come across to XD
Literally everyone when they first see Jinsoul,
Oh that girl is so pretty.
@@anubhav9868 her solo song made me an orbit and she was my bias until olivia hye comes and wrecked the hell out of me 😅
@@Splashkip 😂😂 That's great
You know what the funny thing is most orbits first bias was Jinsoul.
@@anubhav9868 like 90% of orbits their first bias is Jinsoul
@@Splashkip Exactly
The girls whose doing the high note during the so what bridge is Jinsoul. She's a rapper and vocalist tho ahhaha
The purple hair name Choerry (she's top 5 dancers of loona, she can rap, she can sing too,her voice is so sweet)
3:51 short hair girl, Jo haseul is a Ex. Opera trainee, she can sang opera so effortlessly. 11:22 the one who hit the highnote is Jung Jinsoul *Blonde girl from Butterfly (her position is rapper but damn her vocal is SO POWERFUL, definitely Main vocal material) i do recommend to watch their predebut Solo and subunit to get know their Vocals
austin! i’ve been watching your reactions for months now and you’re one of the reactors (channel) i go to on my free time. i know how much you love exo and red velvet and to be honest, those two groups are one of the groups i stan-stan. i rarely post comments on any channels here on youtube, but knowing how much you love exo and red velvet, and now that you’re starting to listen to more loona songs, i wanted to say how excited i am for this loona adventure you’re getting into.
i’ve been a kpop fan since 2012, and i listen to a lot of artists (western, kpop, etc.), but the only groups i stan-stan ever since are exo, red velvet, and loona. and in my opinion, those three groups have one of the greatest and most versatile discography out there, a god-tier. just listening to loona’s title tracks already shows how unique and versatile they are in terms of genre. they never do the same thing. in fact, their title tracks are just a glimpse of their entire discography.
loona has 12 talented and wonderful girls. these girls will make you fall for them in many ways; voices, dancing skills, visuals, and personality. loona’s music, from solo, unit, and full group songs, are one of the greatest out there. i know understanding their mv is a little confusing, but it’s actually part of their identity as a group (loonaverse: lore/theories) but you don’t really have to get into that if you’re here for their music, that’s fine too. the loonaverse is just an addition to their beautiful concept as a group.
if you want to start listening to their discography, there’s a lot of songs to listen/react to! this group released solo, sub-unit, and group songs since their debut. you can start listening (on your own, or for reaction videos) to see if i lied when i said that they have one of the greatest and most versatile discography out there, along with exo and red velvet. however, i already think you’re going to fall in love with these 12 girls once you started getting to know them; music and personality/group dynamics. i just know it! hehe
thank you for this reaction, austin! take care always and be safe!
This really made my day. Im Sone and Orbit. I love watching your reaction. Especially about SNSD and Taeyeon. Now you doing Loona. Thank You soo muchhhh...🥺
Also, we all have to recognize the choreography prowess of this girlgroup!
I have never seen a very intricate choreography than butterfly by a GG ever!! And their dance covers!
And to answer your question no they dont have official positions like some girls suddenly rap, and some girls suddenly dance in the middle, some girls start belting notes they are just versatile and their music are so unique they dont sound like common kpop groups
Loona is a 12 member girl group formed by Blockberry Creative. The Loona project debuted each member with their own solo and subunit. Heejin, Hyunjin, Haseul, Yeojin, Vivi, Kim Lip, Jinsoul, Choerry, Yves, Chuu, Gowon, and Olivia Hye are the members. Loona ⅓, Odd Eye Circle, and YYXY are the subunits. The music videos seem so cinematic because Loona"s music videos include lore known as the Loonaverse.
There are also no set positions, each member has their own time to shine in certain areas such as dancing, vocals, and rap.
Also, Loona's members' solo singles are really good too, Eclipse is a must watch too :D
11:25 she is that Blonde girl in Butterfly MV.. Her name is Jinsoul.. she did that high note
Yesss, I absolutely loved this reactions. I was one of the ones that asked for more Loona, hehe. I'm super glad you liked these songs as well. :)
You mentioned the member's solos and I think that's a good idea of where to start, since they're all so unique and can give you a taste of Loona's variety in their discography. Since you seem interested in the lore, I'd recommend watching them in chronological order to reduce confusion, but it's totally ok if you don't get everything or prefer to watch the songs that are your style first. (I've been an Orbit since Why Not era and I still don't know everything but I'm enjoying myself 100% and I hope it's a similar experience for you :P)
I'VE NEVER CLICKED SO FAST STAN LOONA
Butterfly remains their best comeback to me, the choreo is the greatest I've ever seen, the diversity in the MV just makes me very happy as a black woman and I love the message of the song.
I'd suggest watching the full choreo in your own time to see how great of a choreography it is.
So What has the best bridge of 2020, that bridge is SICK, I can't get enough.
Why Not is just so catchy, I love it.
1 Superb Queen unique group
3 sub Unit groups
12 Crazy different personalities and
12 Hardworking talents
4:23 Butterfly. Hits. Hard. Every. Single. Time.
Yes, So What's bridge is so iconic!
Omg you mentioned Choerry and she's my fav!!!
Thank u for reacting to LOONA ♡
butterfly has such a heartwarming message, it is basically telling us to spread our wings and fly like a butterfly, so be different and unique and just be yourself + an overarching theme in LOONA is embracing your individuality but also unity between all different types of people :) as i said before LOONA always breaks the norms and boundaries
you need to see the soil of each member. see in the order that each member was revealed
1 heejin
2 hyunjin
3 haseul
4 yeojin
5vivi
6 kim lip
7 jinsoul
8 choerry
9 yves
10 chuu
11 gowon
12 olivia hye.
there are also subunits:
1/3 (heejin, hyunjin, haseul and vivi)
odd eye circle (kim lip, jinsoul and choerry),
Yyxy (yves, chuu, gowon and olivia)
yeojin is not in any unit because she was very young yet but the company had said it would join oed but nothing has been confirmed.
haseul and leader of the group and is currently away
YEEEEEES MY ORBIT HEART. THANK YOU SIR AUSTIN 💖💖💖
The last title track missing is Hi High but Favourite was also the lead track for that release and it's a song I recommend. An interesting fact is that the members were indeed presented one at the time with well crafted solo and sub-unit projects and from those releases I highly recommend Kim Lip's Ecplise, Jinsoul's Singing In The Rain, and Yves' New. I personally don't love Heart Attack by Chuu but the song has really good vocals in it. The videos are all good tho and very different too to reflect the different vibes, style and colors each member brings to Loona.
OMG FINALLLLYYYYYY IM SUCH AN ORBIT ❤️ THANKS FOR THE REACTION!!!
Thank you for reacting to more LOONA!! Hope to see their solo and subunit songs in the future!
at 12:20 the burning feather is a very direct reference to the loonaverse. almost all of loonas music videos are connected and create a story (loonaverse)
now this is content

They don’t have official positions except Haseul being the overall leader, Kim Lip and Yves being the leaders of their respective sub-units and Yeojin being the maknae.
Although they don’t have official positions it’s still pretty clear who got which positions based on line distributions and showcased skills. I’ll add positions but keep in mind that all members do different roles all the time as if you keep diving into their discography all the members have rapped at some point.

Sub-unit: Loona 1/3
Yeojin | 3:55 9:17 14:07

The high note in butterfly was edited an octave higher I believe, and Jinsoul sang the high note in the final chorus of So what
Omg tq so much ....... tq so much
As soon as Lee Soo Man got involved with Loona, we heard one of the most iconic 'SM bridges' in So What - I'm very excited for what they do next. He hasn't produced a song for one of his own girl groups for years and years - the only other song he had worked on directly since 2015 was Jopping. He clearly saw something in Loona (that Orbits had been seeing for a few years already).
As you are a singer and vocal coach, you would probably really enjoy watching their solos, they each have a unique voice that really fit the genre of their solo!
As for Butterfly, it is really a masterpiece, everything from the song, their voices, the aesthetic of the MV and also the choreography and their synchronicity, it's just amazing to watch and listen!
aaaaa finally reacting to loona u would LOVE their solos songs especially the one of choerry (the purple hair girl in butterfly) cuz the song has a twist and normally shocks people a lot she the name of her solo is love cherry motion
Fun fact btw lee sooman (sm entertainment founder) produced loona’s last 2 album its the first time he produced something for a non-sm artists!
You can't just drop this on meeee. So ready for this journey!
It would be amazing if you reacted to their solo’s!! They each have different genre’s to fit every member, plus have 3 different subunits! I would recommended watching them in order since that’s how the members were introduced. Great reaction, I got so excited when I saw it was Loona!!
FINALLLYYY!!!
The adlibs in So What that you liked are done by vocal queen Jinsoul. She’s the blonde girl in Butterfly that you thought was pretty, she was the girl wearing the AC/DC shirt in So What ,& she was the one rapping in Why Not specifically on 14:41. She’s known for her vocal runs she’s really extra when she sings lol.
IMO Loona has one of the best discographies in Kpop of their generation! Like from the solos, to subunits, to group songs all bangers!!!! I get why people used to spam comments with #stanLoona
Yesssss LOONA is so good 💜
hey austin coming back to this video again wondering if we’ll ever get another LOONA reaction :(( their japanese release is coming in 2 weeks and they had their recent cb end of june this year hopefully you get to check them out i’ll be waiting for your opinion/reaction thanks again!! 🤍🤍
Each member has a solo 😉!
and the reason why in all mvs are scenes of random girls is actually a beautiful message by loona cuz they say we all are "loonas" around the world (girls stuck in a world who can unite and make a difference like a small flap of the wings of a butterfly which can became a hurricane)
I was having a bad day, so you reacting to LOONA made my day 110% better
I'm so glad you liked Loona! I would definitely watch you react to all their solos and subunits. I think you'll really like the Odd Eye Circle subunit
The girl doing the background run at the end of so what is Jinsoul, she's the blonde girl in the butterfly mv that you found pretty :) (she's also a rapper, she's the one with long black hair with short bangs in the so what mv and she's the one in the telephone cabin in the why not mv)
There are a lot of different versions, acoustic vers, duets here and there, I truly recomend maybe only the main solos and main unit mvs of each? so it isn't as overwhelming, will make a mini list in order here just in case!
-Vivid (Heejin)
-Around You (Hyunjin)
-Let me in (Haesul)
-Kiss Later (Yeojin)
*Love & Live (Loona 1/3) UNIT DEBUT!
-Everyday I Love You (Vivi)
*Sonatine (Loona 1/3)
-Eclipse (Kim Lip)
-Singing in the rain (Jinsoul)
-Love Cherry Motion (Choerry)
*Girl Front (Loona ODD EYE CIRCLE) UNIT DEBUT!
*Sweet Crazy Love (Loona ODD EYE CIRCLE)
-New (Yves)
-Heart Attack (Chuu)
-One&Only (Gowon)
-Egoist (Olivia Hye)
*love4eva (Loona yyxy) UNIT DEBUT!
-Favorite (first mv all together, not official debut yet! it's a b-side from their debut album)
-Hi High (debut!)
the purple hair girl “choerry” has an amazing voice i would suggest to listen to “chaotic” by odd eye circle (loona subunit) her vocal is crazy
yesss im so glad you reacted to them 🥰
YAAAY I'm so excited for this!
LOONA is their own genre. One of the most unique to listen group/artist in the planet. Oh and this is one of few Lee Sooman favorite groups, he thought that LOONA was so unique and talented that he wanted to produce their songs. Imagine, he wish to have LOONA in SM wich it is crazy!
Yay Loona!!! 🤩
LOONA's discography is *chefs kiss* i hope you can also react to their solo and sub unit stuff!!
i need more loona reactions austin!! their vocals are crazy!!!
i wish you could react to their solo mvs
IVE BEEN WAITINMG FOR THIS ONE
1:50 oh you're gonna love Digipedi, their music videos are incredible when it comes to cinematic ones I don't think there's a better production team
Loona is Loona you can’t put them in a box or classify them if we’re talking about music or dancing since they’re well known for pulling off every style of dancing and their choreographies are considered one of the best in kpop!
OOOh a Loona Journey would be amazing!
