Hey Tyler . Did anyone point out that Girls Talk is actually Chuu and YVES harmonizing? That’s one reason why it hit so hard. Really enjoying the early days of your dive. Yves is a problem.

2025-07-24 02:58:47 +0000 UTCI don't this to sound like critical but when analyzing these videos that they aren't just individual showcases of the girl's talent they are part of a storyline that began with Heejin's Vivid and continued through their Debut "Hi High" The videos are connected. Each one tells two stories, the member's individual story as well as her connection to the story overall or the "LOONAVERSE". In that context the "ONE AND ONLY" video makes perfect sense. The change of aspect ratio as well as the dark and claustrophobic as she is seen hiding from Yves and Chuu. The video only opens at the end when she accepts her fate and joins them. The video team "DIGIPEDI" does a masterful job at telling the LOONA story, that's why they filmed almost every LOONA video. They know to show just enough of the story to lead the fans in the right direction. I'm not saying that you have to get into the lore, you don't have to. I'm just pointing out that everything you see in the MV's is intentional, nothing is random. The direction and color of the eclipse in the logo, down to choice of using white or black bars at the top and bottom of the video. Its all has a meaning.

2024-05-22 13:15:43 +0000 UTCLoona is a group that is very meticulous with everything they do. The videos all go hand in hand with the lyrics/lore/teasers/trailers. if you skip or go out of order or do not pay attention then you probably won't appreciate it as much. there is nearly always a darker tone to Loona songs in some way. A lot of the videos connect and mirror each other and discovering it gives you such an eerie feeling. Digipedi did a good chunch of loona videos and their storytelling is crazy good. tons of YouTube videos deep dive into elements that people have missed or don't understand in a lot of the vis. Loona is art in so many ways, even broken into their many groups they still tie things back. Like Gowan and Hyunjin, Vivi ,Yves., and Hyeju The next sub unit video is a GREAT example of the eerie feeling if you pay attention :) YYXY is my favorite subunit lore-wise

2024-05-18 15:11:36 +0000 UTCChoerry be that girl. my bias in Loona is Kim but when OEC is together for whatever reason Choerry always grabs my attention vocally and visually. the Choerry effect - lol

2024-05-18 07:25:33 +0000 UTCin Olivia solo you mentioned what the wolf cut scene had to do with it - lol. that is her spirit animal. each girl has their own spirit animal that is showcased in their debut solo MV. i dont know if you caught them all. if not you need to go back and see. each girl has their animal present in their MV. also starting with Yves each yyxy member has their own respective fruit - did you catch them in their solo MV? stating from OEC the Lore gets stronger and yyxy has the most Lore. the MV are littered with Lore that is why you are having a hard time with the MVs - lol. if you really about the music then best way is to listen to them like the lyric videos. I see you get distracted and somewhat put off by the MVs then dislike a song cause the visual experience. i know not every song is your type. same here - cute songs I just don't vibe too and I skip them. but I do get a different vibe when I just listen to the songs by themselves. D1 be that bitch tho. hell yeah. Olivia be that super girl crush member going forward and she is like that in real life too. when you get to know them more and behind the scene and variety shows. there's a reason everyone scared of Olivia but shes super nice tho. enjoy my good sir :)

2024-05-17 13:44:39 +0000 UTCIf you’re interested, there are live stages of all of their solo songs from concerts! The most recent ones are from 2021/2022 I think, for a full group concert! The oec solos have newer stages from their us tour in January this year! It’d be really fun to see you react to that!

2024-05-17 12:45:05 +0000 UTCChoerry!!!! My favorite kpop girl 💕 love her so much. Love cherry motion is THAT song. It always sounds fresh and fun. And I LOVE one & only - I actually really like how the song is so cute but the video is so dark and spooky. There’s a theme of Eden/rebellion running in the yyxy girls videos - yves eats an apple like in the Bible, so does chuu, gowon eats that pineapple and then her hair changes colors and she can see her friends clearly, and hyeju eats the blood plum (but she’s all murderous and that’s a whole nother story!) the yyxy video takes place in Eden, like heaven — it’s all biblical shit lol

2024-05-17 12:16:04 +0000 UTCI'll admit, watching people react to the beat drops in Love Cherry Motion for the first time is probably one of my favorite parts of these LOONA pre-debut deep dives. Choerry is my main bias in LOONA but I don't think it's a stretch to say her solo is one of the most fun songs in their entire discogrpahy. OEC have a special place in my heart because they're who I was first introduced to in LOONA. The run from Kim Lip, to JinSoul, to Choerry, and then to Yves was such an attack. D-1 is a low-key vibe as well, we were all so happy that she performed it for one of their last concerts. Someone else mentioned it, but a handful of your favorite members (Heejin, Kim Lip, Choerry, Yves, Olivia Hye) did a cover of Sunmi's FULL MOON for a Halloween special and the fandom collective lost their minds over it. I highly recommend you check it out if you get a chance. So one thing I will point out; A lot of the choices for the videos were very deliberate. Things that you might find questionable, like white borders, to aspect ratios, to the color grading, it's all intentional. You might not be aware of the little visual cues and allusions to different members found in every video, but they're all pointing to parts of their lore--the groups' overarching story. I'm sure you've heard of the term "Loonaverse" thrown around here and there. Everything from member colors, to representative animals, to representative fruits--it's all tied together in an absolutely crazy and intricate storyline. That's the basis for the better part of the whole pre-debut project. Now I can't blame you for not knowing these things, there's just so much to take in, and everyone interprets the lore in their own way, but it's all just bonus--just another fun side to this whole LOONA thing. Anyway, another solid, and fun reaction. Can't wait for the next one! :)

2024-05-17 10:00:09 +0000 UTCI KNEW YVES WILL GET YOU! since you enjoy yves kim lip and jinsoul, there’s a loona unit that only did one song and i have a feeling you’ll like the music video A LOT. the song is called “not friends” and sung by Jinsoul Yves Kim lip and Heejin. When the mv for it came out everyone passed out. ur not gonna be ready for anything in this mv.

2024-05-17 09:15:55 +0000 UTCOEC was definitely the time when Loona had the biggest increase in attention. You will find that a lot of older orbits got into Loona through one of the OEC girls solo mvs. Jinsoul definitely owned that blonde hair in fact she kept herself blonde for over 2 years. It was quite the shock in the fandom when she finally went back to a natural hair color at the end of 2019. 'Love letter' is my personal fav from all the solo album bsides I just love the vibe. Choerry is my bias and she has my fav solo. 'Love Cherry Motion' is THAT song. I also think the song is a good representation of Choerry because it has a lot of duality just like her. One of my guilty pleasures is watching reactions to the song for the first time because of your exact face at the first post chorus 😂. Choerry's voice is also super underrated and I'm glad you are noticing how sweet and charming it is. Yes purple is her color and her animal is a fruit bat which you see glimpses of in the mv. Yves is the main dancer of the group and she really got to show that in her mv which was nice. Fun fact about her song 'New' it was the first of its genre in kpop (soultronica). 'D-1' was such a wonderful bside track for her it really fit her voice. The performance for it was pretty spicy though. She is making her long awaited solo debut on the 29th of this month so I'm really excited for that. We will finally have all the girls redebuted. Chuu. Oh i could go on and on about Chuu. Main vocalist and face of the group. She is easily the most popular member especially domestically. People love Chuu. 'Heart Attack' is also probably the biggest out of all the solo songs because it went pretty viral. Shes just an adorable ball of sunshine. Gowon, our princess. Probably the most unique voice in the group so it makes sense you instantly recognized it. She's a cutie and is also responsible for a good chunk of memes and funny moments in Loona because she's a bit of a savage. 'One and Only' isn't one of my favorite solos from them but its certainly still a good song. 'Seesaw' is a big fan favorite and I understand why. Chuu and Gowon sounded really good together on that song and I think the beat was really cool. The little extra parts from Kim Lip were the cherry on top. Hyeju (Olivia) has always been the "cool" girl of the group. She just has such a fierce look to her and she also carries herself in such a way that overflows with charisma. Being one of the lead dancers in the group she really got to show off those traits quite a bit as a Loona member and it seems like that is continuing in Loossemble which is nice to see. 'Egoist' is a top 5 solo for me. Ever since I heard it for the first time I remember thinking it was such a unique sounding song at the time and it still holds up really well today. You were right about the ending of Egoist. The member at the end on the roof with Hyeju was Heejin so we essentially came full circle with the first member meeting the last. 'Rosy' on the other hand has never really been a song I listen to that much but the Heejin rap feature ate.

2024-05-17 08:49:41 +0000 UTCi was suppose to go to sleep but this dropped 😭 but yes we’re all in love with yves and so is chuu! apples represent yves and chuu admires her so that’s why there’s so many apples in the mv. hopefully one day you could look over the lore but it’s very overwhelming when starting loona journey. you can always check it out later!

2024-05-17 07:43:21 +0000 UTCBased on the members you are vibing with, I HIGHLY recommend checking out the cover of Full Moon by Sunmi a few of the members did.

2024-05-17 07:30:51 +0000 UTCyyxy is no doubt my favorite loona subunit (with my loona bias being gowon). i had the exact same reaction when i first heard d-1 lol. also, yves’ solo “new” was the first kpop song ever in the genre of soultronica!! yves is definitely an ace, she’s releasing a mini album on may 29th! i hope you tune in, it seems super cool and if you’re interested in learning more about her new work i’d honestly just look at her ig (yvesntual). chuu’s solo was a big deal for orbits bc many interpreted the mv as her and yves being a lesbian couple. theres a stereotype that loona fans are gay, and that music video is part of the reason why lol 😭. there’s also a lot of apples in the music video bc it’s yves’ representative fruit, and bc chuu was obsessed w/ her she constantly had apple’s around her. gowon really does have a unique voice, it’s cool that you recognized it from loossemble. i also was never the biggest fan of hyeju’s solo but i think you conceptualized exactly why i never got too hype about it, but hyeju is a great dancer and vocalist so it was def more the production excited for you to check out yyxy and more loona content!
