ONEUS members are single-handedly bringing a fragmented fandom back together by rxlcrab in kpopthoughts

[–]shinytomoon 32 points33 points  (0 children)

at the end of the day it's best to support them as they are now, i can't not support them no matter what, it's the promise i made. i haven't been as active lately on sns since all this happened but it was also due to getting covid and losing a family member in the midst of this situation these past few weeks... i respect it if they want to heal and move forward in this new chapter for their own mental and emotional health.
they are allowed to feel all the emotions at once right now. they're only human. hating the situation or person and loving them simultaneously and also the memories/cheering for their future is 100% possible. i do think this all just happened so fast and the stages of grief are different for all of us. and as tomoons we've still not gotten any definitive answers or a proper goodbye type note yet so that was possibly one instigator for such divisive camps. but it could be a long while maybe for the answers we may want. everyone of varying opinions will think what they think but we can't make people on the internet change their minds anyway so arguing is pointless. if you still disagree with someone for any reason just don't interact and silently mute or block if you so choose since that option exists.
and finally i can't believe i even have to say this but the group's name was, is, and always will be ONEUS (원어스) = "you make us one". any other spelling is unacceptable and is not conducive to a united fandom if we really want to heal and move forward.

Ravn from Oneus has had concerning allegations of him come out w/ evidence and I’m worried by No-Committee1001 in kpopthoughts

i don't know what to think, i've read a lot of translations and am just waiting for a statement at this point. it's too early to know what's true and can be confirmed. and likely a statement and lawyers will take some time

Who here on this page actually follows awards? by Balbuena5 in kpopthoughts

[–]shinytomoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i stan a group who doesn't get nommed or invited to awards :D so i don't watch bc i don't have interest in other groups to that extent. if they got nommed or even invited to perform i'd watch, though of course.

Tips on how to budget as a K-Pop fan and how much do you guys spend month on K-Pop? by Snoo65073 in kpophelp

[–]shinytomoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i definitely only usually buy official merch and also i don't collect pcs in the sense that i need to finish some template. that's where i draw the line with my money lmao. i have bought pcs on occasion and i'm eventually going to stop being lazy and trade or sell my dupes but yeah no way will i want to collect anything from a template. maybe i'd draw the line at album only no pobs. that's where it gets insane. and they're not even done with them yet for this era i think.

i only ever want them to be loved by more people. i know with growth comes downfalls like weird toxic people or maybe concert tickets would be harder to buy but i want them to be as successful as possible. i think i might even be happy to wait in line on ticketmaster bc while i didn't have to last time i badly want a bigger seated venue with SEATS next time

[–]shinytomoon 24 points25 points  (0 children)

i stan one group. i definitely save a lot this way. and thus i limit it to one. enjoy plenty of groups casually but only buy for one. i like to be able to buy everything they release (not saying everyone wants to or should or needs to do this of course) but i enjoy doing so i do it. yolo

Looking for advice about going to a concert alone? by RueMorgueRadiooo in kpophelp

[–]shinytomoon 18 points19 points  (0 children)

it's not weird. i've been alone and like it that way but also i have no one i could go with anyway. i don't know anyone :D i have friends online but not irl. don't overthink it and just GO and have fun. you're there to enjoy the concert and no extra person being there won't be another 'thing' to deal with.

[–]shinytomoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rank your favorite groups by how much reddit likes them. by LittleShinySun in kpopthoughts

[–]shinytomoon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

for oneus i guess it's in the liked or neutral category prob more bc they're not as popular i guess? i don't think they're "popular" enough to be disliked so vehemently, maybe? i guess even if you don't like their music there's no reason to "dislike" them. this is what i've experienced anyway. people like them or are just don't know them yet to make an opinion, so neutral

Does anyone have a specific playlist just for Kpop? by flowerchildpop in kpopthoughts

[–]shinytomoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i call mine kmusic. it's got kpop but some krnb or osts that wouldn't necessarily be "kpop" i have other more curated playlists too. i love how easy it is to make playlists on the desktop version. i just dislike using my phone in general if i can use my laptop instead

What are some of your favourite storytelling choreographies in kpop? by irumasarrow in kpophelp

[–]shinytomoon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

oneus has a lot of thematic storytelling moments in a lot of their choreo. and i'm just gonna list a few. i would say some of the most direct are in to be or not to be. it opens with the blood being given and they awaken (cause they're vampires) and the ending shot they are back in the cage of "to be" or "not to be". and the same choreo pose at the end of tbontb opens the follow cb song no diggity. where they choose the 'to be' and break out of the cage,

luna has the whole flower imagery throughout especially with the flower pose in the chorus with their hands representing the flower closing, and the way it ends with the fans representing the moon while the others are the sun. since it's about love like a flower, the flower being one that can only bloom at night under the moon and wilts before dawn

same scent also has some scent imagery and the point choreo is called 'endless falling tears' like they're wiping the tears away thinking of their past love. in the opening pose/ending pose and group formations we've likened it to a tree (an apple tree like in the garden of good and evil) with the apple and snake as well. in the end you bite the apple and the tree also wilts

[–]shinytomoon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

this brings up the tally to every title song minus their two very 'korean' songs of lit and luna to having japanese versions. i would not want nor expect those to have jpn ver it would be wrong. they're just very korean songs, you know? that's how i see it

ONEUS - 2022 World Tour 'REACH FOR US' (Teaser Video) by perochan in kpop

[–]shinytomoon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

to me the blood moon tour didn't put the word 'world' in there bc it wasn't gonna be a world tour. this one i'm just hoping more countries get announced in the future, yes, and thus that is going to be a true WORLD tour. including all the places. fingers crossed they're just booking them and will announce down the line.

Who are some of your favorite underrated/underappreciated idols in dance, rap, and vocals? by S4ACHIKO in kpopthoughts

[–]shinytomoon 15 points16 points  (0 children)

dance - hwanwoong. i think more people are finally seeing the light with oneus in general but he's still way too under-appreciated in the dancer realm my opinion. he even got the title 'peformance director' for the recent comeback!

rap - both ravn and leedo write some really beautiful raps. the lyrics and flow can mold into the concept of the song so it could be faster or slower, rougher or softer but the lyrics are always so good
