ABOUT ME:
- I'm Cambodian and Chinese.
- I was born in November of 1983 (which makes me 37 years old) and raised in Houston, although my heart lays in between Houston and Hawaii.
- "OG KPOP STAN": I've always used the term "OG" (supposedly "original gangster") to define being old-school, and I became an avid Korean music aka Kpop listener/lover since 1998. Kpop was my coping mechanism from the bullying I experienced in my younger years and it's just stuck by me ever since. Also! Just to be clear: me calling myself an "OG kpop stan" doesn't mean that anyone who's listened to kpop later than me is inferior. A kpop lifestyle is a kpop lifestyle regardless of time.😄
- I was a hiphop dancer for about 7 years. I did the whole crew thing, auditioning thing, competition thing, choreography thing, dance instructor thing, so I have some experience in that field and I hope to be able to share some perspective from my experiences for y'all to see the extra things that I appreciate about a video when I point them out.
-My videos can have quite a lot of cuts in editing and/or my eyes will unnaturally blink rapidly sometimes. This is because of my neurological disease that came with my lupus nephritis (posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome). My thinking abilities and speaking abilities struggle to align at times.
- Yes, that's Jack Sparrow's ring that I always wear in my videos. I've been a Pirates of the Caribbean fan ever since I rode the ride for the first time ever in Disneyland when I was a kid.🤓

I think Orbits have officially adopted you anyway at this point.
There is no doubt about that
the girl who “jumped” (olivia hye) actually had a stunt double do it for her. theres a loona tv of them filming this scene too!
@@woeiurieoweoriw6165 that scene was pure yyxy story so you won't see anyone other than yyxy there
@@woeiurieoweoriw6165 are you for real lmao 💀
@@woeiurieoweoriw6165 it was a stunt double actually, or if u meant the actual scene that was olivia
omg link?
@@ethycc8169 th-cam.com/video/rRgH6-mhrks/w-d-xo.html here you go!!
best debut of all time. this was a cultural reset.
true along with apink's (i love idk too much)
a cool thing about the Hi High choreo is, if you are familiar with the members and structure of Loona, it kind of follows a story. The first four girls that are shown are in the first subunit, Loona 1/3. The next three are OEC. The first chorus just has those two sub units - it’s not the full group shown in this performance video until after the part in the video where Olivia jumps and completes the group.
not haseul singing last with her 1 second line 🤡🤡
The performance version is a bit different from the actual routine they usually do for Hi High. In the performance version, the choreo put emphasis on and basically summarized the entire 2 year predebut story of how they got to this point. That's why you would see them divided in to their respective subunits in the beginning and then slowly come together as the song progresses. It was actually a nice "gift" to those who've followed along their predebut journey and kept up with the lore. I've much prefer this version than the one they usually do for Hi High, but that's just me being an Oldbit 😅
I just made similar shorter comment about this and then I look comment section and found yours. I love the performance version more too because I followed them since Heejin era so it's like a gift....but I know they have to do the 'on stage' version to show all OT12 from the start of the song anyway....
Hi I love your videos.
Daebak I miss u dude!!! When r u coming back???? You r the ult orbit! 🔥🔥🔥😎😎😎
OMG are you coming back? we miss you so much 😭
This version was also what they used in the music video (you can see there are fewer members during the first chorus). I think they might have updated it for the stage performance because it'd be strange to have yyxy sitting on the sideline until the 2nd half of the 2nd verse. Still, I feel you. Seeing this choreography version when it came out was such a nice treat.
yay, more loona!! one important thing to consider about the hi high performance video is that the choreo in this video is not the same as their stage choreo -- this choreo is more lore-based and often has different subunits featuring in their parts with the rest of the members on the side. hi high tells the story of the loonaverse and the girls meeting each other, so the choreo reflects that journey!!
In 7:25 the part of the choreo, the lyrics goes "Love is more cruel than college entrance exams"
where they form themselves as tables and chairs where students are taking the cruel college entrance exam. 😂😂
omg I'm a stan and never even realised this 😅😅😅
If that is the case, then that just solidify that they have the best Choreographer and concept creator in the business.
it is fun to see your journey of discovering loona, and being an orbit through the process
I felt a disturbance in the mobius strip when this was posted. Always in for more Loona content
Hope to see a loona logo on your wall soon. And im excited to see your reaction to their solo and sub unit. I hope you do it in order. Good luck.
Hi High performance is kind of an introduce of units in Loona, the members keep coming through it
I'm pretty sure that this has been mentioned by now, hopefully. Hi High is basically the finale of the origin story of LOONA as a group, all of their pre-debut solos and sub-unit releases all tell part of that story culminating in Hi High. There are actually a few locations in Hi High that reference moments in the previous solo & sub-unit. The Choreo video you watched in this video, as others have already mentioned, is not the actual choreography that they use during their live performances. This was a gift to fans that followed the whole story from the beginning, like the MV the Performance version is linked to the lore of the Loonaverse. The choreo that you see in the Performance version is not possible to do on a live stage due to positioning and travel of the girls in the routine. You will notice in the Performance version that some of the girls will exit the screen on one side and appear again on the other side (this would be hard to do on the live stages at music shows because they would have to run behind the camera or backstage) and also that members of some sub-units will interact with others as they did during the entire pre-debut project. I really suggest that you watch LOONA's solo & sub-unit MVs in order so that you can watch the story being told. Fair warning, a lot of the story told in the solo & sub-unit is left to interpretation, Blockberry does provide some narrative in the descriptions of the videos, but in the MVs a lot is left to how you as the viewer see the artistic and stylized stories in each MV. There are a few TH-cam videos that put out their own interpretation of the Loonaverse Lore based on their own research combined with the established lore and details that were officially released by Blockberry through descriptions and official released material (albums and short videos that were shared at fan meetings etc). You do not have to dive into the lore to be an Orbit, but it is another interesting aspect to LOONA. Welcome to the fandom!
2:54 Yes, she really did jump. The stun girl of course not Olivia Hye herself 😄
This brings back memories of Loona's debut as a full 12 member group! This was their second debut release MV. "Favorite" was their first. I would encourage listen to other tracks on their debut album (Perfect Love & Stylish). It's so inspiring to see where they started (debut) to where they are now. Your observation of the choreography when they sing "High, Hi" was SPOT ON!!! - They are cranking from low to "high" and then waving as to also say "hi" - that was thought of/planned in the choreo :)
The dance practice.... What cinematography lighting Jedi magic did someone use to make the casted shadows angle like that, and be BLUE! Well done!
i haven't ever noticed that cranking hi-high choreo, now i think it's the coolest/ cutest move i've ever seen
The girls tend to explain the point choreo of their title tracks in interviews! I think it's really interesting ♥️
yes it’s so so cute and totally fits the lyric too. i love the choreo
This MV actually symbolizes how Odd Eye Circle gathered all 12 members :) in their choreo too! It started with 8 members first, then at the 2nd verse you get to see oec then yyxy, then at the 2nd chorus, LOONA is complete! I really love this MV.
Cant wait for you to get into ther solos and sub unit songs!
i love the cranking as well as it refers to two loops to get to the highest, i love these intricate movements.
loona is about appreciating even the small things.
Also, yes the girl at the end (HeeJin) was on a string and to film that scene she ran and jumped and they caught her before she could go past the railing. Very scary lolol
the performance video is so visual pleasing, and I dont talk about the girls. the color palette, the shadows and contrasts looks so good.
Can you react to loona full moon and battery love
Hi high 2020 version 🥰
maybe she will after the other mvs
I haven’t even started watching the video yet but I have been waiting for this since I saw you were watching Loona videos so I’m super excited
yep the lyrics of hi high are as crazy as the loonaverse
Well Thina to become a full fledged Orbit you would have to experience a new comeback so in the meanwhile just keep doing what you're doing and learning their discography and the girls XD love your vids btw Babybit.
Performance video of Hi High is one of my favorite LOONA videos. They all look sooooo good!
I’m so excited to watch your loona journey !
Loona - Hi High performance video follows the story of Loonaverse with their subunits....the formations are quite different when they perform on stage. Performance video is special video to tell their predebut journey.
OMG you're gonna love Favorite
For one to be baptized as a full-fledged Orbit, they have to watch all of the the pre-debut solo music videos plus sub-unit music videos as well. It will be a very fun and worth it adventure, I promise 💖💖💖
hearing you enjoy hi high and point out nice moments of the song + choreo really makes me happy! at the time of release, there were a lot of ppl expressing disappointment; saying that hi high as a title track was a downgrade from favOriTe (the more sassy-like pre-release track). i personally really enjoy the hi high performance: there's tons of cute expressions and highlights to focus on!!
It really sucks how some people couldn't appreciate the great points of Hi High just because it has a cute concept 😔 This song has so much meaning as LOONA's debut track and you can tell a lot of thought and care was put into it.
its always nice to see the contrast of their different title track performances 😃🌟
You need to seriously react to all solo and sub unit predebut mvs, you'll find playlists of loonas predebut mvs(and in order) with a quick search on TH-cam✨✌🏻
Some of them also has dance practices/performance video(some solo and subunit)
I don't know how I missed this reaction from you but I loved it so much. Thank you Thina
Thank you for using your time to react to LOONA considering that they have a lot of content. Its nice to join and watch yur journey as you listen to LOONA
This is the video where all the girls first meet/come together in the Loonaverse. When Odd Eye Circle says " It's you.." to Olivia I still cry.
I'm glad you 💗 LoonA (thank you for all the reactions) 💖
Olivia had a stunt double but Heejin actually did that jump by herself with a harness and trying to mimick how it would be if there were actual stairs there.
Tbh hi high mv gives me the creeps. The underlying story of this mv isn’t scary but the execution of DIGIPEDI is pure genius. It’s so amazing to see all the three worlds collide.
Exactly. It perfectly portrayed the deep secret of the narrative masked behind a seemingly "shallow" impression. Like, if you know, you know vibe. It's a whole new experience when an orbit watches the mv than that of that a casual viewer. You think you may have it all, the amazing cinematography, the visuals, the glamour shots, but there's a whole other layer when you know the narrative. And you find another level of appreciation knowing that these elements exist for a reason. Not just to make up a music video, there's always a purpose. Kudos to all the creative minds behind this.
Looking forward for next Loona video reactions.
Yay can't wait to see you react to more Loona. I really love how you always figure out everything in their choreo like synchronization and musicality. Love you and can't wait to see more
Once you see all the pre debut MVs, you should Hi High live performance, considering the choreography video is the "original" choreography, but they changed parts for live that reflect some pre debut moments
I’m so glad u finally saw Hi High. I officially consider u an orbit personally. Btw, there was a new girl group that debuted this year named Cignature. And they had such a great debut and comeback. I’d love if you could check them out. Their mvs are: ARISONG, ASSA, and Nun Nu Nan Na. And those also all have dance practices as well. It would be so awesome for more people like you to react to them. They have a pretty unique sound to them I think. I’m a big fan
favOuriTe is amazing too
Btw Loonas youtube channel has a playlist of all their music videos in order so that will help you when you reacct to them. For the first 5 girls I recommend in one video react to their official solo mv plus their bside mv
You should also check out favorite from their pre debut. You can check the music video or live depending on if you want to see more of the dance or just the video itself
Orbits will love it totally
YESSSS Favorite and sub units!!! lets go
Oli jumps and then lands and they officially become Loona! Sahmday
Huh, didn't expecting this but NICE !!!
Hi high one of the best songs ever made
You're an Orbit when you have degrees in quantum physics, astronomy, and philosophy.
Or you know, whenever you feel like you're an Orbit. No gatekeeping here.
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
can't wait for you to react at favorite, it's soo good!
OOO yay! finally. hi high is their best title track. also, from a hagbit, you are def a babybit! welcome, we’re very welcoming (and funny) :D
yes thinaaaaaaaa thank you,love orbit
YESSSSSSSS
You’re an orbit already 💚

Yay!!! Love when you react to LOONA🥰
Hi High Haseul: What to do
Having a Haseul bias in + + era was basically suffering.
Well yeah, but having a Haseul bias these two last eras has been straight up masochism
OMG YES TY hi high one of my fav song ever
let's go sub-unit and solo thinaaa
Cant wait for you to have that loona sticker!! 😂
This is the 4th gen's Gee
Since you seem to be enjoying LOONA a lot, I’d like to recommend that you check out WJSN as well! They also have very unique concepts and are a rather big group as well (you mentioned you like the visuals of bigger groups). If you do check them out, Save Me Save You is one of their most popular title tracks so i recommend checking that one out first :)
you need to watch their perfomance on Kcon (all of them)
I want to see more Loona content! : >
SOLOS HERE WE GOOO!
Get that LOONA sticker now- it deserves to be on the wall. Preferably on the top...
thank you
Hi High is one of the most creative choreo
But sadly its underated
I love you ❤️

Im suggesting you to react to their
*Full moon by Sunmi cover*

HUWAAAAIIIITIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING~~
Actually for the peformance vid most of the time ther dance base on their unit acept yeojin bcs she dont have any unit. Its ( 1/3 unit, ODD EYE CIRCLE unit and YYXY unit )
Can you react to different hip hop competition videos? I'm not sure how copyright works on that, so I'm not sure if you are able to anyways, but I would like your take on some performances since you were a part of that scene too. Specifically Keone and Mari Identity (not the zoomed in one but the wide view one from Vibe) or Choreo Cookies performances.
that was the first video i saw of loona :´)
yeah, she jumped!
Are you gonna check out their predebut solos and unit stuff? If so do it in order please.
I really like your reactions!!!
Please react to Chung Ha, she is a kpop soloist and an amazing dancer...
All her songs are bops. =)
This week she droped a collab with R3HAB called "Dream of You", the performance video for that is perfect. You need check her out. =)
*sorry for the bad english rsrsrs
Oh, you’re gonna lose your shit with “Favorite”!
I think you wanna try joining the orbits-
React loona at kcon please
Pls react to Kai's solo debut. Its mesmerizing😍😍😍
What the performance MV doesn't tell you...
Each part of the dance is broken down by sub-unit...1/3 gets their shine first, OEC then comes in, and then Yeojin by herself. yyxy get their shot in the second part of the song before they all come together.
Saw hasuel 🙂 now i miss her😭😭😭😭💖
