oml thank you, i always love to think about adult younghoon chilling at a competition and having a gaggle of highschoolers randomly come up and ask him to join their band
tiny correction Yonghoon as Yong = 용, the younghoon is member from another group 😆🥺 also recently another piece of info was discovered, Yonghoon & onewe started communicating before he was scouted by Harin & even got kinda close 🥺
@@ReminisceAboutAll interesting that they were communicating before that singing competition, never knew that. shows those teens had a lot of foresight back then. but I still like the story of teen age (18 ?) Harin approaching 22 (?) year old Yonghoon with a cup of coffee, the best investment Harin ever made.
@@gmbora7583 true 🥺 no matter how much I hear their formation story it never cease to amaze me 🥺
1. Cya, Kanghyun, Harin (+ Leedo, Seoho from ONEUS) play League of Legend as a team! Cya and Seoho admitted to be in highest tier too! (so yeah I think the mousepad is from LoL). Cya particularly said that if he wasn't a musician (or do anything related to music), he'd be a pro-gamer! A lot of his lyrics are game-inspired or straight up using game terms!
2. Robot Has Human Emotion (that was shown in the video) was the one that originally was released in CyA's soundcloud as a Leedo x Cya project (yes, with Leedo from ONEUS!) It has been turned into a ONEWE song in Planet Nine: Alter Ego with the same korean title and A.I. as english title!
3. Watermelon is tasty. What can I say lol.
4. The clip of Dongmyeong dancing is from The Unit (a survival show from KBS). That one song is Raise Me Up, an original The Unit song they performed for the final! (yes, Dongmyeong went into final stage in that one)
5. Personally I like that mannequin challenge performance too, but it was when they were still MAS, so I guess not many know it x'D
6. Cya's song for WEVE (titled: WEVE) was uploaded in his soundcloud! Updated, in the song LOGO, Cya sang "weve weve weve weve" in his rap part
7. Yonghoon really is afraid of dogs (sadly until now), but he can tolerate small dog that doesn't move much! Love Me is a song about the first time he touched a dog (korean title literal meaning is: A Dog I Touched For The First Time), and he felt weird but also amazed at the feeling.
Thank you so much for reacting!! >
Glad to see you enjoyed my guide! It means a lot to see it being reacted to as well, so thank you and Cat for this ^^ I feel like there's no guide in the world good enough to truly show how amazing these guys are, but I'm satisfied seeing it be of use and interest to people ~
i also think it must be helpful for them to all know several instruments to know better how to guide the others while making songs - recently while recording their song Logo for their latest album, they were feeling that the guitar was a bit weak and Yonghoon was able to solve it by suggesting using a different guitar, knowing about how the instruments work really broadens their minds!
Thanks again, and may you have a good day! ^^
I'm glad you finally got to see a Onewe guide! Ollie's guide is the most informative out there and really shows how talented each member is. Most of the clips used here are short videos of covers or new pieces that Onewe uploads on Twitter under the hashtag Studio_We, just like Kanghyun's short guitar pieces (Kang Kita), Harin's drum and launchpad covers, etc. Regulus' piano and acoustic version are indeed beautiful. And you most definitely need to see End of Spring rock ver!
Yonghoon has a fear of dogs because he was bitten as a child and that instance shocked him so much, he fainted. But that doesn't mean he doesn't find dogs adorable tho. He wrote Love Me after he started to overcome his fear, the lyrics talk about asking the dog to love him.
Onewe are geniuses when it comes to doing impromptu songs. For one of their offline concerts last year, they did a bunch of impromptu songs based on the comments or words given by the audience and they all sound amazing.
Most fans of all RBW artists pretty much have a love-hate relationship with the company. Yes, they're definitely one of the better companies especially when it comes to creative and artistic freedom and the staff gets along well with their artists but they still have a lot of questionable decisions and actions concerning all their groups. In some cases, you can see improvement on their part but they're still inconsistent, particularly in terms of equal promotion for all groups. I, too, love that they let their artists work with each other, like Yonghoon doing the whistle or Kanghyun doing the guitar for some of Oneus' and Mamamoo's songs but sometimes RBW tends to forget to credit them. We'll only know they worked on it because they'll mention it in a live. I just hope a time comes when RBW will be consistent in their improvement.
I was most surprised when Yonghoon mentioned in one of the vlives that he did the background vocal chorus in Lit.
they were still MAS when they competed in the Unit and I love them in that survival show SO MUCH. they were not confident in their dancing skills and told everyone that they're willing to learn as much as they can. like the guide said, dongmyeong really shined with his dancing in the show and impressed a lot of the contestants and judges as he's in a band!
Stanning onewe is pain basically. They have/make so much music but only a small bunch are being released. We either need to dig every vlive to find it or depends on some hardworking weve/lover (fandom name during mas) to listen to it, illegally ಠ︵ಠ
They are a bunch of talented hardworking sunshine. It's hard to not fall in love with them.
I hope they become big and famous. That way their company will pay more attention to them.
rbw is one of, if not the best company in the game for musical freedom and idol expression tbh. they give a lot of freedom for their idols to act like crackheads without much reigning in as well as letting them produce their own music and use their own taste. they seem to largely let the idols do their own thing, within reason ofc.
that said, they do have some issues (though I admit I don't know everything. I'm sure there's more than the bit I do know). they are infamous for being shitty at promotion for their groups. it was a running joke, though rooted in reality, about not fucking up purple kiss' debut promotion wise. they also have a few blackmarks from mismanaging and shafting their solo artists, the most well known in fandom is probably esna. and there's some friction among fans about their stance towards idols visuals, namely mamamoo and losing weight but I think some of it is misunderstandings on some fans parts as well as being jaded by the kpop industry in general about that particular topic. not to say rbw is perfect in this regard just I think some of the criticism is unwarranted.
personally I think rbw is one of the better companies and if I had to pick a company to join rbw would be one of my top picks. but they are a company so theres bound to be skeletons in their closet.
The thing about RBW being bad at promotion is something I've always wondered about. I think 90% of people saying this is doing it because they heard other people say it. Since RBW is a private company I wonder how people would know any facts about this. I've sometimes challenged people to show me some proof and have never seen any.
The thing I can agree on is that they don't do a lot of international promoting but then I believe that's true for most k-pop companies, at least outside the big ones.
Personally I'm honest in saying I don't know if they are good or bad at promoting, but I do believe this rumor is a typical internet exaggeration.
@@fennecfox3893 I mean, as a fan of ONEWE, from before they signed with RBW, they are bad a promoting the band. Now I don't follow any other group from the company but it's really not hard to imagine that they're lacking with them too, considering past issues I witnessed with just ONEWE. RBW got better with the band when the members seemingly had to have a talk with the them because RBW's (non)actions were so bad it was actually damaging the relation between the members and the fans. That was in mid-2020 and the members now seems to have more 'power of decision' on how they get to release their work at least and there has been a lot of progress since then. But the company 'promotions' did really suck for a long time (I'm talking 3 years)..
@@fennecfox3893 This!! Exactly, I agree with you on so many levels. Thing is, it seems like the trend of hating and blaming everything to the company is very popular within kpop community and sadly you just can't deny that fact. No matter which companies represent them, fans in general will never get satisfied and always wanted to find literally any such excuses to blame them.
I'm not saying that RBW is "THE" perfect company, definitely not the case here, like literally every company has flaws, no one is perfect and RBW for sure also has some flaws. Unfortunately, people just love to assume things and put their narratives to fit their own agenda, not to mention that they're also so quick to believe all of that. Like, for example, since we're already talking about RBW in general here, might as well bring up one of their artist; Mamamoo. Remember when the news came about Wheein decided not to renew her exclusive contract anymore under RBW, people (fans) started speculating and assuming thing, even made up their own theory. Basically, they made a bunch of points based on their assumptions and spread it around explaining that "It's all entirely because of RBW's fault, they mistreated Wheein so much, not giving her promotion, and so on". I mean yeah..as much as it sounds make sense to me, at the end of the day, all that are just mere assumptions from their preconceived notion.
All in all, if I'm being honest here, imo RBW is the one of the better company out there that gives their artist so much creativity freedom and letting them to explore and participate for the making of their own songs. So I'm very grateful for all that, but then again some people just tend to forget (or deliberately ignore it) and goin on with the trend and keep finding any excuses to blame the company for everything.🤷♂️
End of Spring has a choreography. That's why it deserves to be on Relay Dance 😂Check out the dance practice by Purple Kiss if you haven't watched it👍
ayy our kband representative back at it again!! THANK YOU SO MUCH, and thank you to kat for the request!!
and yeah, ollie0094's absolutely awesome; there's a twitter-fied version of the guide that keeps getting updated, and it also adds even more detail about their history, plus inside jokes, series of things they upload on all of onewe's platforms (like where you can find kanghyun's short guitar vids), and more! her channel is like ~peak~ organization, a perfect place for finding onewe content (so thank you a whole ton too, ollie!)
oh and by now, i believe it's already been confirmed that harin and dongmyeong have finished songs up their storage, so it's just up to rbw to approve them for release i guess. in 2019, onewe as a whole already produced more than 200 unreleased songs (an early ver of 'logo' was performed once that year), so i'm definitely hoping they all see the light of day at some point
12:02 yep! that's a league of legends mousepad haha
you're also correct with the song at 12:21! it was originally a track on cya's soundcloud, but it got re-arranged for the band by him. apparently the staff at rbw told him to save it for an official onewe release, but cya basically said 'fuck that' and uploaded it anyway
20:32 yonghoon was the one who wrote (and produced) it! and yeah, as you later asked, he really is afraid of dogs (even though he also managed to save a lost dog wandering around rbw with the help of the members and staff)! onewe definitely has a thing for writing and composing songs about their deepest traumas... that song was about the first time he ever touched a dog and the warm feeling he felt :')
oh and 'end of spring' has official choreo! they dance a little bit of it in the relay dance, but purple kiss actually has a full dance practice video up on their channel from when they were still 365practice. fun fact: apparently pk actually caught onewe just hardcore busting out moves in the company elevator once (they seem pretty obsessed with dancing lately-)
Randomly appearing to thank you too for the kind words~
Not until recently did I start watching more videos about Onewe (before I could only support them through streaming their music videos), and man, it's like i have found 5 cool soulmates who love LOVE music and have every capability to deliver it into masterpieces. They're such a breeze to my life.
Watermelons are big in Korea and Japan simply because they don't have them there naturally. They can’t grow there, so they kind of became a sign of wealth at a certain point.
I think RBW is one of the best when it comes to artist freedom, specifically. I can really only think of examples with ONEWE since they're the only group I actually keep up with a lot outside of official music releases, but they seem to do their own thing a lot. while most idols will only hint at comebacks and hide their new hair color like their career depends on it, ONEWE will straight up say "yea we're working on an album, I just got back from recording" and will jump on vlive just to show off their new hair colors lol. RBW also just seems a lot more willing to release songs that their artists worked on themselves. I'm pretty sure ONEWE has more than just lyric credits on every single one of their songs (although for End of Spring, CyA is the only member credited and he's the LAST one listed for lyrics and composition, probably meaning he didn't work on it much. that may also contribute to why it's not quite your taste, it's the song they worked on the least. RBW probably wanted a more "generic" pop-y title track for their full promotional debut to get more general recognition, which makes sense)
maybe it's time for me to learn about them too
You should also react to their concert performances (online and offline), It has different feel and very satisfying to hear 👌
Fun fact: Before Yoonghoon met his members, he was a CUBE trainee. So perhaps Yoonghoon had the same vocal teacher as BTOB.
LOL 13:19 as a korean myself imma just say,,, fruits are just built different in korea pffft a lot of it's massive and korean watermelons are MUCH more red and significantly sweeter than western grown watermelons for whatever reason??? if that answers your question haha
wow that was a great guide! thanks for reacting to it! I didn't realize how long ago they formed MAS. If the rock version of End of Spring is on your list (as it should be) I'd recommend a live version of it over the studio track or the "mv" they put out (though all are great... and better than the original ver of the song). Specifically, the version they did for I'm Live! It's an absolutely excellent performance. That same channel also has a Regulus stage, I think I remember you saying you wanted to hear a properly live version of it too. Both are part of a full half hour set they did... if you felt like a whole show...(FYI full show includes a medley with a couple songs you haven't heard yet)

Ah yay! Glad to see my request! It's all good, I know you have like A LOT of requests to get through so one slipping through the cracks is inevitable but thank you to getting to it so quickly~ I know you already have some of the names down but I thought a guide would help the names stick a bit more especially for Harin since, as you said, he gets lost in the back a lot. It also got to show you a tiny peek at their personalities! I requested a concert for this month but next month I think i'm going to request some fun fan made "crack edits" so you can really see their personalities well and get to know them more as people!
Thank you for requesting my guide Cat, it means a lot! And ofc thanks for spreading the Onewe love~
Thanks so much Prince.
Next time, please make the reaction of End Of Spring Relay Dance, End of Spring Rock vers.
Thanks
A few months ago, RBW Entertainment acquiried WM Entertainment, the agency of groups Oh My Girl, B1A4, and ONF. I was not that thrilled by this news at first because WM Entertainment is more a family than it is an entertainment (the kindest entertainment any trainee can be in) .
WM's CEO is literally a dad to the artists of WM ENTERTAINMENT and he cares so much for his kids(all the artists). When ONF passed the audition for a survival show the CEO cried with them, when a trainee or artist has a birthday he celebrates it with them and when they win awards they party all night, popping champagne(kidding...they blow out candels on a cake and celebrate)
The CEO also allows a lot of interactios between the different groups(girls and boys) which is very different from many companies. This also makes them such a phenomenal company.
Anyways so I did not want this beautiful ambience and harmony to be destroyed so I was worried when RWB Ent aquired them. However, nothing much has changed since then and I trust RBW Ent will not enforce power and control on WM and that both companies will build a sucessful, harmonious and happy cooperation in future times to come.
This is the best guide so far, To have one with all the past information will end up being a feature length documentary. In my opinion I don’t think Kanghyung is shy. We tend to mistake quietness for shyness.
The fact Dongmyeong and Cya is Neighbor it's so cool, cya invited His Neighbor hyung to join in the band as vicalist. I can't imagine that. Why cya not invited Dongju too? I Just curius about that!!
probably bc dongju was into acting back then & wasn't interested in singing, he even had actor in his Instagram bio before it was revealed that he joined RBW (but it was few years later, the Instagram & rbw I mean). also Dongmyeong was his friend & Cya liked his voice when he heard him sing (although I remember that it wasn't much time passed since they met) so it was natural why he invited him 😁 even now tbh he's not close with Xion and Dongmyeong even suggested to help them to get to know each other better (if I remember correctly) but we have what we have. Cya respects Dongju as his hyung and I'm sure he cherishes him a lot 💓
Also Xion used to go with them on their busking events to help with the instruments, etc. he was their “manager” of sorts back then. He is pretty close to Kanghyung.
@@gmbora7583 kanghyun * but yes you're right, he's was and he still is supper supportive of onewe 🥺
2:15 If you're not aware, "comfort women" were women who were pressed into sexual slavery in the 1930s and 40s by the Japanese military, and not just in Korea. I'll leave it there; if you want to look it up, just be warned there's a _lot_ to take in, and it's a painful read. I don't know how MAS got involved, but it was a really nice thing to do.
Also, Butterfly, Finding Flower is a bop. ua-cam.com/video/iIQ2G1RYPVs/v-deo.html
4:15 Hyungu's pretty quiet and shy generally, though he's certainly become a lot more talkative over time.
I always love how he doesn't try to steal the limelight when he's playing most of the time; he just stands over on the right doing his thing, until everyone stops to give him his solo, and he _pops off._ 😂
4:30 I'm not sure about the context, but apparently the Kang Kita series were originally short clips posted on their Twitter. Here's a playlist (by Ollie): ua-cam.com/play/PLC7TL9vC8YLAnPyCx7ACh3fZHc2uDyM4I.html
5:35 That ukulele cost him about $2-3. 😜 It's the one he used in the 모르겠다고 (I don't know) version video of Q: ua-cam.com/video/cKbEyhW7AIE/v-deo.html
7:00 Kanghyun actually does reading VLives where he just sits and reads quietly; the idea is to keep Weves company while they're reading or studying. He also produced a playlist of instrumental Onewe background music for when you're concentrating on other things: ua-cam.com/video/oA6_3r6n4Q0/v-deo.html
7:15 Felix's thing is taekwondo; IIRC, Woojin was the kendo specialist in SKZ.
7:50 Harin is _such_ an underrated showman. He's so good he's got "style points" to spare! 😜
8:15 Very true. Harin does sometimes feel stifled at the back sometimes; he said on one of their live gigs that he'd like to spend a bit more time at the front with the others, as he does when he's playing the Cajon.
8:30 As with Kanghyun's ukulele, that kit looks a lot like the one Harin plays in the Q video. The colour does look different, but that may just be the lighting...
8:55 I definitely see Han in him some of the time, also maybe a little bit of Pentagon's Yuto.
13:50 Yup, that's proto-AI. 🙂
14:35 DO IT. The original's good, but I _much_ prefer the rock version.
16:50 I'm sorry, but I can't watch Dongmyeong on the keytar doing End of Spring without thinking about the Shoe..! 🤣 If you don't know what I'm talking about, _you need to see this stage:_ ua-cam.com/video/i0jjvxEQz5o/v-deo.html
19:25 You know, I've never made that connection, but now you've said it... 🤔
20:05 Honestly, I know the Mendes one, but mostly because of Dreamcatcher's cover..! (obviously, it's better than the original) 🤣
22:50 In Asia, blood type is kind of like your Zodiac sign; it's thought of as another way to define your personality. I know as a kid it always confused me when I'd get Japanese video games (like the Street Fighters, for example), and be baffled at why they even _thought_ about the characters' blood types... 😜
I am still waiting for the MV of this song, there is a teaser from long ago. I hope RBW makes a new MV/ CD of this meaningful song with Onewe and donates the proceeds to the remaining comfort women and victims of sexual exploitation. How cool that will be.
RBW, Mm.....pros and cons in every company, they need improvement in management and promotions, (my personal opinion), at least provide eng sub to all mamamoo related stuff. it's strange that sometimes other artists under this label got immediate eng sub. for their mvs.
Then MMM is going to have a online concert on Aug 28 but no promotion or any notice on their official ig/FB/yt yet.
However, i love they really promote music, for example they even got an orchestra "RB-INJ", you can listen to their "Maria (Strings Ver.) (마리아 (Strings Ver.))" beautiful !
Finally, Guide video. I love them so much too. They’re just amazing. Thanks a lot for this.
onewe are so wholesome 🥺
End of spring rock ver on my opinion is better cause I'm really not into EDM.... And yes also A.I is the same as Robots can feel emotions...
Yes yes yes!! I'm so excited to watch this it's one of my favorite ONEWE guides
I'm so happy you picked this Guide 💜
Going back to this for the nth time and wondered if Kpop Prince would ever consider reacting to the mas 0094 songs🤔 Butterfly, finding flower is gorgeous... even moreso when you remember Giuk was like 15 when he wrote it. These boys are incredible.
Omg im so happy you reacted to a onewe guide ! I just started the video but thank you already !
Great.. I enjoy your reaction so much.
Big thanks
Oh my gawwwwd. Thank u for reacting to this
omggggg!!! I've been waiting for this! thank youuuuuu!!!
8:56 Okay, so Harin is playing a song called Flower Dance by Dj Okiwari. Don't be fooled, this song is really funky, despite the classical sounds, it's got more of an "on the road again, coffee house" beat to it... That song along with Luv Letter By the same artist gave my playlist so much more colour when I was in Middle/High school!!! I very VERY MUCh recommend this artist and those two songs to anyone who just likes to sit and listen to music. I mean really just sit and listen. They are very fun songs. The beginning of lower Dance will tell you just about everything you need to know about this artist haha.
Awwww thankyou
19:25-19:50 This literally happens to me every time I hear Yonghoon's high notes and stuff, like he's CRAZY!!!
It was really interesting to hear you thinks that Yonghoon reminds you Eunkwang from Btob... Because Yonghoon WAS Cube trainee! So they had similar training program, trainers and everything... It makes so much sense!
I love them a lot, and love seeing them get appreciated.
Have you ever heard of D.Code?
I’m watching the guide earlier then I remember that you have reacted to this too, so I stopped watching it to join you in reacting to the vid😂 It was fun! Thank you my friend😆
I'm here 🤩
please react to their its live performance pleeeease
Thank you so much👍
Thank you ✨🎶🎤💟
i think you would love yonghoon's cover of Give Me Your Heart (마음을 드려요) by IU🥰 i teared uo everytime i hear that cover:')
Why do you dislike imagine dragons? I'm not their fan or anything and I'm not listening to them but I just wondered. Is it about the music or their personalities are bad?
I've heard they're actually genuine dudes. They just make the most bland, mass-produced arena pop-rock music imaginable imo. Unsubstantial, inoffensive, no risk, made for car commercials.
@@KpopPrince Oh i see. Thank you for explaining
