This is embarrassingly the most emotionally chaotic and cathartic reaction I've filmed in a long time, if ever.

I guess it was the most ORBIT reaction I've given in a LONG time.

I'm just staring at my ORBIT tattoo reminiscing about how much I love these girls and how much it meant to me to be able to meet them, talk to them a little, and direct them during a shoot (during my DEEP DIVE LOONA video).

Chuu was so nice and kind to me back in the day... and for her to release such an emotionally charged album... I just lost it lmao

I also just saw this comment on my DEEP DIVE LOONA video:

I know I'm not supposed to watch LOONA-related content as a way to support the boycott, but I just miss them so much. This video is my only hope.

That moved me.

Man. I love CHUU. I love this album. #longliveLOONA

PS. In case you don't know my CHUU story, after my shoot with LOONA, I came out of the studio, LOONA headed into their van. I was just chilling on the curb looking at my phone, their van hasn't left for a little while.

Suddenly CHUU comes running out of the studio and towards the van, and mind you the van at this point is like on the other side of the lot (far away) and CHUU is last and just bolting to the van.

But before she gets in the car she jumps up and down and waves at me goodbye SUPER enthusiastically with both hands with that CLASSIC huge CHUU smile and then jumps in the van.

Not only did she not need to do that but she made me burst out laughing and put a smile on my face.

She gave me one of my favorite memories as a video producer. And honestly, 90% of my memories of set life are either terrible or stressful (because that's American production set life) and she really gave me one of my long lasting favorite memories.

the PHAT fullness of the instrumentals really make it the song for Howl, Underwater and My Palace. Hits that emotional chord that overwhelms you. Essentially every song makes you just want to crank up and volume and drown in it. Aliens reminded me so much of Jackson Wang's LMLY

Isabella

I felt so safe and overwhelmed. This album and Chuu will always be a special feeling

NEVER BE EMBARRASSED TO HAVE AN ORBIT REACTION!!! FOR THIS ALBUM OF ALL THINGS THE APPROPRIATE THING TO DO IS BAWL AND FEEL UNHINGED AND COMFORTED AT THE SAME TIME

PD you should check out a few of Chuu live performances for Play Color https://youtu.be/85AW2IB3Up0?feature=shared NPop stage https://youtu.be/iiJDtUozlUU?feature=shared

It's okay to be emotional today. It's Vivi's birthday.

Erin Violet

Not HeeJin and Chuu dealing emotional damage back to back… all the virtual hugs for you PD, you’re in the sad girls club now!

Erin Violet

On a more heartfelt note, your LOONA deep dive was the first video of yours I watched, and I became a fan quickly because of your skills as a producer and your genuine opinions and insights into Kpop. I loved your short film 1 in 10,000, and appreciated your content as a fellow orbit. Whatever happens next, I’m glad I have your videos to boost my mood when things are tough. Much love!

This is unrelated to Chuu but this is your latest post so I'll put this reminder here. Since the MAMA stage reactions are scheduled for tonight, I just want to remind you of the MVs of the performed songs that you haven't seen yet. Those are: JUST B - MEDUSA (in fact their third cb you missed) Kep1er - Grand Prix (their latest Japanese cb) JO1 - Venus INI - HANA TVXQ! - Down ATEEZ - Crazy Form EL7Z UP - CHEEKY (and they also performed the Queendom Puzzle signal song SNAP) RIIZE - Talk Saxy NiziU - HEARTRIS These MVs are also in the playlist I sent you via DM.

You may not enjoy having an emotional breakdown in videos, I mean who does, but this listening party once again solidified the reason I've been here for so long and haven't regretted it once. Such an authentic and honest reaction. I didn't think I'd have tears in my eyes today because I've already listened to this album sooo many times when it came out. 🥹

queen gowon

when you said let me listen to chuu's EP to get my mind off of heejin's sad one I was like oh no pd doesn't know what they're in for😭😭😭

Marcel Wannieck

You really think Chuu isn't gonna make you MORE sad? Howl I LOVE this. The haunting intro with the deep vocals and almost no instrumental. The euphoric chorus! It's so happy but so sad too. A song that comforts you and gives you hope. Healing. Your visceral reaction is so real. I do have one gripe: it ends too soon. There's no bridge or third chorus. The second chorus just leads directly into the outro. Imagine a proper bridge on this song, the things that Chuu would do on that vocally! Definitely check out the performance video as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrOZSjSCDAA And the Play Color is even better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85AW2IB3Up0 Underwater All the same things apply here, just in a slightly more relaxing way. Chuu has such a comforting quality in her voice. And your reaction is so emotionally chaotic I love it My Palace This song does have „palacey“ vibes if that makes any sense. It's a very grand sound, strong percussion hits and a sort of waltzy rhythm. It puts me in a good mood :) Aliens Oh my god. This is easily my favourite song on this album. I'll go further. This is my favourite post-Loona song. Hell, this might be my favourite Loona solo song. Not sure on that, the competition is quite strong with Yves' new and Hyeju's Egoist. But it's up there! Emotional synthwave at its peak. And if you know me, synthwave/synthpop is my absolute favourite genre of music! I might have cried at my first listen. DO NOT HIDE YOUR EMOTIONS. FEEL IT AND LET US FEEL IT TOO. And since you mentioned the lyrics, I went and looked them up now. Normally I don't care much about lyrics, I just feel the sound. But I just saw those lyrics and oh my god, they made me love this song even more?? Is that even possible? Hitchhiker This is just really cute and feel good :) Has a music video too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tG6t9LSU9Co Oh, I've seen Dark (the Netflix show). Of course I know that time doesn't exist. Oh shit, since your're apparently doing Kiss of Life next, I really hope the solo and prerelease MVs are included and not just the songs on the album! My ranking of the songs: 1. Aliens 2. Howl 3. My Palace 4. Underwater 5. Hitchhiker I really love all five though! This is such a special album. It gives me further reassurance that things will be okay with the Loona girls. And while we're at it, a ranking of the four post-Loona albums thus far: 1. Loossemble – Loossemble 2. CHUU – Howl 3. ODD EYE CIRCLE – Version Up 4. HeeJin – K With the ARTMS debut and the Loossemble comeback on the horizon, the future on Loona Island is looking bright! Though it is a bit sad that both your Loossemble and Chuu reactions came out just a bit too late for you to catch them on tour. Loossemble were in LA on October 7th and Chuu was in LA just under a week ago, on December 3rd.

This reaction is so precious omg ! Was exactly the same. Aliens is EVERYTHING to me ! the "Beauty of it all" part just wreck me every single time, and I'm in LOVE with My Palace on top of Howl and Underwater. Some little anecdotes : - the lyricist of "Howl" explained the "wooo wooo(lf)" part is a homonym of the world "depressed" in korean (우울). Which give another layer to this incredible song - "Aliens" was written AS A LOVE SONG FOR CHUU'S DOG !! How hilarious :') But it TELLS how Chuu is such an incredible singer and how incredible those lyricists are, being able to send such a transending, beautiful and strong message with this simple idea. Finally I appreciate the meaning you put in Hitchhicker, made me look at it another way ! At my 1st listen to the album, the song felt out of place. It felt like a strategic move to link Chuu the singer to Chuu Can Do It (what she's mainly known for). And Hitchhicker being used now as the new CCDI outro lowkey confirmed it for me. The other songs went so deep in Chuu's emotions and vulnerability as an individual that going back to a song "dedicated" to her public image still feel a little weird to me And it joins my 2nd critic of this album : IT'S TOO SHORT ! MAKE IT A FULL ALBUM ! LMAO No but seriously it's a masterpiece. And I feel like with just 2-3 more songs they would have been able to explore more the "public image" facet of Chuu and creat a more cohesive link between Howl/Underwater/My Palace/Aliens and Hitchhiker (even if Chuu being a bubble of pure love and talent already links all the songs together) Fave album of this year BY FAR

Hii, sorry I'm almost spamming at this point. But when is dpr ian LP supposed to be out. I saw in last month plan for december, but I don't see it in the new one. Is it cancelled.

Chuus album is already so full of emotion but adding the context of her situation makes it truly cathartic. This album shows how much she’s matured and how beautiful her mindset is even through rough times. I like to think it’s partly due to the Loona members immediately taking her side, knowing she has members that would choose her over continuing their own careers. Loona has somehow become something bigger than themselves and I’m sure we’ll see them together again someday, I’m sure.

Marcel Wannieck

Ok fuck it, upon further thought, Aliens is my all time favourite Loona song. Sweet Crazy Love has been dethroned for the first time since I got into Loona.

Jesse

You neeeeed to do chuu bonus drops the choreo for howl is so awesome

formoftherapy

Oh is it not? My bad, I’ll fix it. It’s supposed to be the day after Christmas with our other 26th special reactions

flowerbit

This reaction was so relatable 😭. I saw Chuu in concert in LA last week, and I literally kept bursting into tears during her songs. The most during Howl and Underwater. And Aliens was completely beautiful live.

Your deep dive into loona video was what I used to get into them. The story is I came across Love4eva randomly online back in like January 2020, and I loved the song so much that I put it on repeat for like 5 hours straight. I knew I NEEDED to hear the rest of their music so I started doing research, once I saw how overwhelmingly large their discography and mv-ography(?) were, I didn’t know where to start. And in my research I found your video reacting to all of pre-debut loona. And in that video was how I also heard all of pre-debut loona songs and saw all of those mvs for the first time. It was the day after I heard love4eva and I sat and watched your whole video. And the next day on my own I watched everything else that came after from [++]-[#]. And ever since I’ve been stuck down in the loona rabbit hole. I thought I really liked other kpop groups before, but the love for loona is so much different for me. even my other ult groups like cignature and twice I haven’t been this wholeheartedly invested in 24/7 like how I am loona.

A cute story that u might like from when Howl released, is Kim Lip posted the album on her instragram story congratulating chuu, and chuu reposted the story saying “thank you… we’re venus and mars ❤️🥹” (lyrics from Aliens)

gemma feltovich

i'm glad you felt this way about the album because i feel exactly the same. chuu's ability to convey emotion with her voice is just such an incredible gift and i hope she never stops singing.

Thabit Ayob

Oooh, thanks a lot, that's really good news for me who has been waiting for more than a year a half for a dpr ian lp

OLBYA HYE - OLIA BAEK
