there's really no other group like them. #onlyoneof #kpop #kpopopinions #commentary #lgbtq
btw, can someone tell me what love is up to nowadays? did he leave the industry?
Idk im trying to look into that « Love case » too but every kpop « official » website and some qna type of place are like a few years old at least. There’s even another member that needs to leave for military service rn…..
i finally took the boygroup pill after i saw yoojung in chuu’s recent video. his personality grabbed me. there is no going back
I think what truly sets onlyoneof apart from just an other artist who has talked about lgbtq+ rights or relationships, is that they actually talk about it. Like actually. It's not queerbait because that would imply that they are purposefully using queer implications without actually intending to talk about the topic. BUT onlyoneof do NOT shy away from what they are talking about in their music. they do NOT shy away from the fact that they are talking about being gay men and that they are literally singing about having gay s*x. and they understand exactly what they are doing. they are in no way hiding what they are singing about. lust is something extremely normal. they fully embrace the sexy concept in kpop in an actual mature way. and it's funny to me that they get any backlash because kpop stans love sexy concepts and love gay fan service, but as soon as a group like onlyoneof actually put their all into it, all of the sudden, it's perverse and disgusting. because obviously they have gay fan service, but they actually put a LOT of effort into actually telling the stories of lgbtq+ people AND they make sure to always advocate for the lgbtq+ community. and i genuinely love that. as a quer person who's enjoyed kpop her entire life, i was going to be here regardless. obviously i listen to a lot of gay artists too and consume a lot of gay media, but I really have come to enjoy ooo. i didn't expect them to be so talented and I'm glad it took a lil gay mv to make me stan them. because their discography is amazing and i love how as a group they operate. especially with their goal as a group to deconstruct what it means to be human and an idol. i love that they don't restrict themselves. I love many kpop groups over the years, but the ones who have always stuck out to me were the ones who actually had something to say with their music. again, i love my bubblegum pop songs and my idol songs that are just fun. But the ones that always got my full attention were the ones that had something to say an wanted the world to hear it. and onlyoneof is about to be a new group to enter my list and i'm so glad i found them. they're talented beyond anything i was expecting when someone said they were doing a 'gay concept.'
Why do I keep on getting into K-pop groups and then figure out one of the members leave. What is this?! Also if Love left who’s the leader some people tell me Nine is the leader now and some people tell me KB is the leader now. So if anyone knows the answer please tell me.
Nine announced on his birthday December 2023 he is the leader. It was probably assumed after Love's departure and before Nine's announcement that KB would be the leader as he's the eldest, but Nine is now officially the leader. Hope that helps 😊
@@SilentCarnival Thank you so much!!❤️
11:37 what song is this?
New and hooked❤🎉😊
Can u make a new one? I feel like this has also become a bit outdated, obvi im still watching it but it would be nice to re make it
You know what .... i think i fall for nine's voice ❤
thank you :) this is really helpful
Thank you! I'm going to see them in Barcelona in two weeks so now i started studying hard to recognise them haha
they are such a fascinating and unique group.
Thank you so much for this 😊 I'm very new to Onlyoneof and this has made me want to stan them even more 🥰😂
The boys are amazing, I'm happy that you decided to support them ❤
lyOn, question: Why I can´t find their solos on spotify? Thanks!
Hey, I've been listening to OnlyOneO's musics for a long time but never tried or got interested in the group untill today! Your guide has helped me a lot in learning more about each one of them including Love, thank you for your hard work ! <3
thank you for making this !!!!!!!!!!! i'm seeing the boys at the end of this month at the atlanta stop!
Not so fun fact: i somehow knew onlyoneof songs before i even joined the kpop community and only now I'm finding out it's a kpop group.
I'm really glad that you included Love in your video. 😊❤
i’ve been wanting to get into OnlyoneOf since 2022 but never got the perfect opportunity! i’ve always been interested because as a queer individual, i was drawn to their overall concept. Thank you so much for making this guide video! Lots of orbits like me love onlyoneof.
❤❤❤❤❤
and I say: yes.
As a lyOn since early 2021 im really happy to see people include Jisung in videos even in 2023 and im so thankful.. im happy to see people still love Jisung and mention him as the part of the group! Also this guide was very helpful, thank you!<3
KB reminds me of Wei Wu Xian 😮😍 and this video is adorable 🥰🤭
I came here after the BL 😅😅

I love this guide❤ I wish it had subtitles in Spanish😢 If you agree, i could translate it 🦁💕
amazing job!
debuting with savanna was such a blessing!! great song!
very helpful video as a new lyon, than you!!
The answer is yes
En Spanish please.👌😌 Ganmsamnida🙏
i unfortunately do think it's a marketing scheme by 8d (although the devil's advocate would be why would they choose this theme in Korea where it is still extremely conservative and homophobic, however it should be noted that most consumption of bl-themes are by straight women) but i do genuinely believe the boys stand by the lgbtqia+ community and they embody 100% of the lore with involvement in production, choreo, etc... so therefore, i believe OOO members themselves are not queerbaiting, but i cannot confidently say that about the entertainment company itself.
They might be queerbaiting perhaps, but I'd feel that way more if it was pushing lgbt theme in teasers but in mv was entirely different. They're all as a group set to be in a bl bump up business. Now they're a relatively, small group however, its still frowned upon or risky for kpop idols to be in bl let alone talk about or reference LGBTQA. As a gay Lyon with a dash of asexuality on the side, no other groups try to actively speak too me. Saying you support something and actually, supporting something are usually different. The only 4 groups that have spoken to me musically is ooo, shinee, a.c.e and stray kids. I follow a lot of groups all boy groups, but very few I'd considered myself a fan of speaking to me personally and making good music is different. I've been a kpop fan since, late 2nd gen until now and it hasn't changed for the few groups I'm a fan of even after 9 years so I'm happy for any group that supports my existence as a human I like to know where I stand so I'm not supporting wrong group.
haven't watched the full video yet but even if onlyoneof are "queerbaiting" idgaf cause they're giving young queer people like myself an outlet, a voice and a place of acceptance in contrast to a VERY large industry that's usually too scared to even touch these topics at a surface level. I would be surprised and maybe a little disappointed to find out no one in this group is actually queer (which seems unlikely tbh), but I would still appreciate what they do for all their lgbt fans around the world edit : watched the video and now I REALLY mean everything I just said❤
Aren't they signing up for a Bl drama ? From what I know Bl dramas isn't a good representation of Lgbtq because most of it is just fanservice. I haven't watched any bl dramas btw.
Back when libidO first dropped, I could totally understand why ppl thought OOO was queerbaiting, I mean, they had no previous history of anything like that. BUT, I'm glad they have shown pretty well through the solo projects and even seoul drift that they really are aiming for representation. Also I can't wait for Bump Up Business><><
Its bad that some people accusing them without questioning or thinking
Also I like that they used the phone booth and not just a cellphone or other thing to communicate because there is the whole “coming out of the closet”. So if you think like this there are lots of moments where they are inside, sometimes with the door opened, like an invitation for either they come out or someone to come in with them. Also the Phone booth has clear walls, it could also be an indication that people still can see you inside, either that be people who share that experience or people who deem it. I think that when people accuse them of queerbaiting is because they get just libido and forward and don’t look since the beginning. They have a lore and the queer experience is part of it. Loved the video!
As a LyOn cub, thank you for making this mini documentary. As a queer woman with a religious fiancé (who is also a woman), this band and the art they're producing means the WORLD to me. I initially fell in love with the music and the personalities of all the members before I understood the lore.. and now I just love them even more. They make me incredibly happy with their open and unapologetic acceptance of queer people even in the face of backlash. This representation is incredibly important and Kpop NEEDS a band like them. I also look forward to more of your content on them. <3 STAN ONLYONEOF <3
I became a lyOn just 2 weeks after the end of underground idol and I truly fell in love with them They’re one of my ulti groups and I’m so happy to see the fandom growing, they deserve so much more Thank you for opening this channel and I hope you’ll be putting out lots of amazing videos!
As a "lyOn cub", I have been looking at everything I can find!! I really enjoy your videos, they're so well put together!! Thank you SO VERY MUCH for your hard work!! Please know it is deeply appreciated!!! 😁❤
I really like this! Thank you so much for the insight to it all!! Looking forward to more videos from you!! Love from a new subscriber and "lyOn cub". 😁❤
Thank you so much for this!! I always find it hard getting into a new group. This made it a whole lot easier ❤
tysm for this
I love OnlyOneOf so much. I am a queer teen myself and their music is such a comfort, it destigmatize what ive been struggling with for all of those years and im really thankful i could find them and their songs I found them throught LibidO and liked the song a lot. I then found out about a group doing queer representation, so i listened, only to find out they were the one that made LibidO and that's how i started stanning them. They really helped me throught a lot and helped me throught my healing process, and im so glad that i found them. Thank you for making this video, seeing all those people saying they're queerbaiting makes me so angry because they obviously dont know what queerbaiting mean and are, most of the time, only h0m0ph0bic and dont wanna see queer representation in the kpop industry, an industry which is already pretty toxic and doesnt allow much liberty from their group and idols on such topic(s). I am so happy to see that our boys are gaining more and more popularity and recognition from kpop stans and im pretty sure it will open doors to more progress in the industry. And soon, we're even getting a lightstick!! Im so proud of them <33
why were they admiring junji's abs like that lmao, so straight of them
thank you so much for this video! it's a tricky situation because i understand where people are coming from. From an outside perspective many people saw , as you said, a group that just woke up one day and decided to be gay for 3 minutes to shoot an mv; and i think that actually would've been the case if they did that only for the libido mv, but the fact that they continued exploring this subject for about 7 mv's after libido (skinz, the solos and seoul drift) completely proves the point that they're not trying to catch some views and gain popularity through controversy. Also i'd like to believe in the boys's sincerity, but i wonder how they truly feel about having the "queerness" be a part of their concept; i wonder what their families and friends think about them portraying same gender relationships in a country as south korea who is still very reserved about those topics.
i have no reason to doubt their sincerity especially since the members are very involved with their work and seem to be comfortable with the concept. rie even said in an interview that the libido music video was inspired by a movie that kyubin had picked & the members all watched it together. not to mention yoojung genuinely being excited and pointing out rie's pride bag in seoul drift, and encouraging mill & nine while he was on set for the kiss scene in beyond, etc. they even helped a queer couple propose at one of their shows and junji cried, + all of the other interactions queer fans have had with them in person. i have also wondered what their families might think but they seem to be supportive and even attended their seoul concerts that they held a couple months ago.
thank you so much for this guide! i've "officially" stanned OOO for a little over a year now but i don't know that much about them ( i became a fan of their music before i became a fan of them if that makes sense) . I totally didn't know they had lore! and it sounds really really interesting, do you think you could do a video explaining that?
MiMi and Cheorim have excellent videos exploring the lore. And LOU has two videos exploring dOra Maar and Begin. (Edit: And Lunar LyOn has a playlist compiling OOO lore deepdives)
@@unclewiley1986 oh thank you so much! I'll check them out
i just watched all of your content and i’m so grateful for these videos analyzing OnlyOneOf concept and their music. i’ve always been so annoyed when people accused them of queerbaiting, because it’s so stupid. real people cannot queerbait, and more importantly, the characters they depict are literally queer and in gay relationships. i guess the definition just flew over their heads because they wanted to ignore what OOO was doing. their music is so important to me as someone who loves singing and is in the LGBTQ+ community. i may be surrounded by people who accept me, i may be blessed, but it’s still so amazing and comforting to see a group get so much hate and criticism but push through and continue what they’re doing. their sound is so unique and brings something new to the music industry as a whole, not just kpop. they’re so brave for doing what they’re doing, and i don’t think people realize how stupid using queer representation as a cash grab is in korea. they wouldn’t be pushing these taboo topics if they didn’t actually care about them because of how conservative their country is. even other idols who are openly supportive haven’t gone as far as OnlyOneOf has. they’re the only group i’ve ever considered stanning, and the only group i would go to a concert for, the only group i genuinely care about. nobody is doing it like them.
this is a great video!! ty for sharing your views about their concept, I completely agree with everything you said, onlyoneof are an incredible group and I have become so in love with them through what they are doing for kpop and for the queer community <3
Absolutely loved this guide and the editing was top notch~ Thank you so much <3
