Okay im back after watching the whole video! I love watching people react to Onewe for the first time. They are so underrated its crazy. Their music and lyrics are so beautiful. Also Montage is one of my favorite songs by them- I feel like it showcases everyone so well and they each have their own little moment to shine in it. Plus who doesn’t love an epic rock song. Excited for the remaining parts 🥰 Now is a good time to get into them since two members are currently in the military.

Montage will forever be one of my songs.

Yep yep. No questions asked. They're my Top 3.

do we know if/when harin is going to enlist? i thought the plan was for him to enlist with kanghyun and yonghoon in 22 but he's still not enlisted, is he?

@Saarni He's not enlisted and no we don't know if/when, but everything they've said indicates he most likely won't be enlisting any time soon (probably 2026 if he does enlist). They've said they will be very active together as ONEWE when Yonghoon and Kanghyun get back at the beginning of 2024, and that they have a lot of plans including saying a few times recently that they plan on doing a 2024 world tour (hopefully, all going well). ONEWE were never the ones to tell us those expected enlistment years themselves; it was found in a report RBW had to publish when they went public back in 2021 (expected years of enlistment: 2022: Yonghoon, Kanghyun and Harin; 2028: Dongmyeong and CyA). Yonghoon and Kanghyun told us about their enlistments personally through individual vlives, announcing it themselves before the company's official announcements to make it easier on weves and explain their reasons and plans. They didn't mention Harin enlisting in any of their plans and weves never asked them directly about it because it could be very personal; if they were comfortable discussing it then Harin/ONEWE would tell us on their own when they were ready. Kanghyun said he always planned to enlist with Yonghoon to come back together quickly and then keep the band active for many years, for the future of ONEWE. CyA said Yonghoon and Kanghyun will write many good songs to keep the band active when the maknaes enlist (afaik he only specifically mentioned himself/Dongmyeong). CyA said he'll be enlisting in 4 years but we're not certain if he meant 2026 or if he actually meant 4 years after the hyungs get back in 2024 (=2028). But many weves are guessing Harin, Dongmyeong and CyA may enlist together around 2026 now instead. This can explain why Kanghyun went with Yonghoon, even if Harin didn't, since they are 2/3 of their main songwriters and they've already pre-recorded so much OT5 content for their enlistment now (+ it looks like CyA is preparing to release a solo album soon too), so having them both finished enlistment quickly makes their options a lot better in the future when those next enlistments come up. In the meantime this year, CyA (and Dongmyeong/Harin + Kanghyun/Yonghoon in free time) is also writing songs for ONEWE, to be finished off once they get discharged. What we do know (although possibly unrelated) is that leading up to Yonghoon/Kanghyun's enlistment, Harin had some health issue that meant he was absent from their vlive on Roommate's release day in May (and in one photo of a group outing they shared recently) and that he was also absent in the audience for a bit of filming of the GSI survival show one day in June but still performed that day for round 2 (unexplained absence since ONEWE couldn't talk about the show then). However, we don't know if it was a minor or more serious issue and whether it was an ongoing issue or just due to them being overworked with the GSI survival + concerts/festivals + all of these enlistment albums and contents they were preparing all at the same time. For the vlive he missed in May, the members said he was ok but just needed rest because they weren't able to after their encore concert. We later found out GSI round 1 was filmed the day after their encore concert (CyA was also performing playing bass with a burst blister for both, he couldn't use one finger properly at all for GSI). Most weves came to the conclusion that Harin probably wasn't enlisting 2022-2023 with Yonghoon and Kanghyun during their final goodbye concert since he hadn't announced anything and, when they were reading letters to each other on stage, Dongmyeong was crying asking who would take care of him while they were away and Harin raised his hand to show he would be there for him/00z (so potentially, if not for health/other reasons, it could also be that they simply weren't ready to leave their maknaes on their own, and 00z and Harin needed each other, because the separation has been very hard on all of them). or maybe it was never in ONEWE's own plan for him to go then but RBW put it in the report anyway, we don't know 🤷

nvm I just finished watching the video and you already know about the twin part lol

Fun fact to add to the story, Mamamoo was the invited artist/judge for the contest Yonghoon won and MAS was the session band. Mamamoo were the ones giving him the award/prize money.

Yes!! Yonghoon is my bias!! One of the best k vocalists of all time!!

and yes it was Yonghoon singing and not the guitar lol there’s a moment like that in Star_ , too 🫠

same I wasn't into ballads too before onewe sometimes I would listen but it was like 2 songs that I liked but with onewe ballads it's a whole different story

I had a feeling she wouldn't pause on that part. You always know she's shook when she doesn't pause.
