Just wanna drop in and say that the production of this MV really focused on the lighting because of their concept VALKYRIE w/c is from Norse Mythology. They're called "Choosers of the Fallen" because they lead war-fallen warriors to Valhalla or what we call the afterlife. So the Valkyrie literally leads souls to the "light." In the MV, they say that they fell in love with the Valkyrie, giving light to their otherwise dark life. Referencing to PD's words that their color is very muted with those laser like lights, they did that on purpose to reiterate the concept of the album entitled Light on Us. Just a trivia tho, in the chorus they actually sing the korean word 밝히리 pronounced as Balkiri which means clear or bright. So it's a very clever play of words to say "You're my Valkyrie/You shine, shine, shine"

This mv really feels like a kind of old kpop mv. It reminds me of Teen Top, VIXX, EXO, MBLAQ. I feel like they took elements from "old" kpop and then found a way to refresh them.

*I BET PD REACTED TO THIS BECAUSE JAE SAID THAT THE WHOLE ALBUM WAS GREAT ON TWITTER*

pd is the only one i watch bcs he is the only one that doesn’t scream when reacting and stops constantly while watching, he actually has intellegence and doesn’t just stan a group but reacts to it in a intellectual way

One word. *DAMN.*

omg i didn’t expect pd to react to oneus

so few more intresting facts! they choreographed it by themselves took part in production the whole album have a lot of performance as a trainee (with ONEWE) need your love and attention!

The members definitely do stand out. 3 of them were on Produce 101 Season 2, Keonhee actually placed first in the vocal position during the second evaluation on the show, Hwanwoong was well known for his dance despite not making it to top 35 (he's the one that did that crazy low bend, wouldn't be surprised if he can do that). And Seonho was on both Produce 101 and Mixnine. He was eliminated in the first round on Produce 101 (no screentime, thanks Mnet) but was in the top 9 on Mixnine for quite a few weeks before being eliminated there. And I think being from Mamamoo's Company helps a bit in getting their name out. But this was a group I've been eagerly waiting for debut since Produce101 and they definitely did not disappoint!

If you didn’t think they’re amazing as they are, • they made their own choreo • they’re all sweethearts • 밝히리 literally means to “light up.” Valkyrie is a play on words. smart bois.

The guitar part is the same tune as Mamamoo's Egotistic! I really like the choreo in this and the visuals are gorgeous I'm sold on them already!

Their whole album is really amazing.

It's interesting to see your take on this. I have a decade of 'experience' in kpop and I'm usually not interested in rookies anymore. But as I randomly watched Oneus' mv yesterday.... damn, they're REALLY good. They got me bad. Many of my friends feel the same way. The song's good and the mv gave me 2010ish vibes. Kinda reminded me of MBLAQ's Stay concept. Thanks for the video, always a pleasure watching you :)

The guy who bended is Ravn and he can actually do it. It's part of their choreography and he did it on live stages.

one more group to stan, and more money to spend 😂

Predebut to debut, these boys have been sucking my soul lol jk jk THE SONG AND MV SLAPS

I never would have thought you'd react to this, PD ♡♡♡ Thank you so much!!! And lots of love ♡♡

Yes! Thanks for the reaction. I hope people start supporting them. Can you please react to N.Flying s latest song?

I've first seen them on MCountdown and surprise by their stage performance, they're really good and the song is really nice, then saw the MV for the first time here. Glad that they did a wonderful job with the production for this as well. I can see ONEUS will be one of the top groups if no issues rises up.

I wanted to add that they are hella talented. As far as I know they took part on every single song on their debut album and also on the choreos aswell!

For a debut, I thought this was spectacular: the MV, the track itself, the vocals, the visuals, and even the subtle choreo which leaves us twitching for more. I don't know about the rest o' yall, but I'm signing up! Thanks for validating my enthusiasm, PD!

HOLYDJDNDK I DIDN'T EXPECT PD TO REACT TO ONEUS!! I'M SO PROUD OF THEM WOW

I lowkey wonder what you would think if you listen to their mini album. I really like your in depth look into MVs and I enjoy your album reviews so I’d like to hear your thoughts about it. I personally think it’s a nice introduction to their musical abilities and while there is no connective theme in the album, I like that it shows the many styles they could do :)

I love this debut so much!!!

It's pronounced one us?? I've been saying the wrong name this whole time lol

PLEASE STAN ONEUS AND CHECK THE ALBUM LIGHT US THANK YOU

KNK also had a comeback!

i really wanted to see this!!! Im so happy!

I have this theory about the mv. So the song’s message is like “lighting up my dark world” (sort of, something along those lines). I think it was shown sooo well in the mv. It has dark, minimal and simple sets in the beginning. But it becomes interesting when the light comes in. It gives color. The part where the light shines through the members’ hearts is also a clever way to deliver the song’s message. Thanks for the reaction pd✨💕

As a moomoo I was seeing a bunch of stuff about them predebut but I never checked them out cause boy groups never really capture my heart (bts and pentagon being the exceptions) but I decided to watch the MV to support Mamamoo's hoobaes and I really enjoyed it! The blonde guy's voice caught my attention, perhaps cause I also saw that showcase video where the audio turned off but he just kept singing and dancing and sounded great? And the choreography really interests me. It has elements of the sharp and fast choreo standard to boy groups, but it has these unusual touches of lightness and humour that I often see in pentagon and femininity that kard plays with that is exciting to see! They seem like sweet and talented boys with great vocals, as expected of "Mamamoo's company" of course! Will definitely be keeping updated with their music!

The foot work reminds me of Got7s , If You Do. It’s the first thing I noticed. Thanks for the breakdown. I wish Oneus all the success they deserve.

Yes, thank you for reacting 💞

i am just starting to stan.

Yes! Love this! Stan ONEUS y'all

7:55 RBW production team love make transition by cameraworking. Its the same way they use on MAMAMOO EGOTISTIC MV, when member spining on their dresses.

I suggest listening to the other tracks in this album, each song is super good and worth listening to !! My favorites are ZigZag and Red Thread

I’m happy that you reacted to ONEUS, this is a well shot mv and the song is legit... stan ONEUS!

Omg, thank you PD 💜 im following them since predebut and ofc i love everything about them! The album is so great too, they write their songs and also had produced some of them!! I hope people love ONEUS so much as i do 😘

I love Valkyrie so much, my favorite song, choreography and MV now... Everything is so perfect! They are going to be very popular soon, they desrve it!

Light? nice ... because their debut album is called 'light us' it's on Spotify and apple music. Please support Mamamoo's younger label mates. OneUs (idol group) & OneWe (band)

kind of surprised that you saw Dejavu's aesthetic in this. Meanwhile I was reminded of Shinee's ring ding dong for a lot of parts if we're talking about aesthetics. Maybe the guitar solo reminded you of Dejavu? It was a bass guitar in Dejavu but yeah at least that's what reminded me of it. Thanks for the reaction to this! Just saw this earlier and was surprised by the production value as well.

gahhh thank u for reacting to ONEUS 😭😭 and i love ur breakdown on the mv as well~ i feel like the reason why the mv shows alot of darkness and emphasises the use of lighting as it relates to the lyrics of the song which is their love is their light and to light them up

so glad you reacted to this!! i've been anticipating their debut ever since broduce and they did not disappoint

Dejavu and Valkyrie sound the same couse they bouth have an acustic anti drop. The drop goes after the acustic part

i fell in love w this group and song when i first watched it like wow this is so impressive

You should listen to their debut album Light us It's amazing :)

When I first heard this song, I thought it was by an older group, and was amazed when I learned that this was a debut song! The mv reminds me of a second generation sm ent mv, like f (x). They are going to be a killer rookie group ^

Hey PD, I just wanted to say thank you so much for breaking down ONEUS. I know you mainly go over more popular groups, so this means a lot! ONEUS have such an interesting sound that reminds me of a lot of older stuff, something that this generation could really use! But yeah, they're not really the most popular of groups yet since they just debuted, so you reacting to them means a lot to us fans! I'm glad you liked Valkyrie :) You should check out the rest of their album, I feel like you would LOVE Red Thread! The lyrics to it are beautiful, and they choreographed the performance of the song to match the lyrics and meaning perfectly! It's a masterpiece!

Man so many good rookies ( BOY GROUPS) right now STRAY KIDS NCT ATEEZ THE BOYZ now ONEUS and then there are the ones which are gonna debut - TXT , YGNBG etc It's gonna be a battlefield for all rookies rn like legit Hope they all get attention cause honestly it is really too much for new stans to get into all of these groups

I’ve been a Kpop fan for five years now, and still, my top three favorite songs of all time (my opinion) are ATEEZ’s Pirate King, BTS’s Blood, Sweat, and Tears, and (you guessed it), ONEUS’s Valkyrie!

I'm about to cry I really hoped you'll react to them but I thought there is know way you'll hear about them and do it and now I'm just so happy

I AM SO HAPPY

rbw's camera work and the mv producing is improving exceptionally! lately, mamamoo's mvs are so #aesthetic, so I know they will deliver in that area :")

Check out the entire album! Ravn, member of ONEUS took part in all of the songs!!!! Predebut stan here!!!!

YESSSS I WANTED YOU TO DO THAT SJDJSIJDD

Have been waiting for their debut since August, and I remember telling all my friends back then that their debut will be soon, and it did take pretty long, but I'm just so glad that I can finally show my friends and others this mv. I'm soooo happy that they finally got to debut🤧 HOPEFULLY ONEWE COMES OUT SOON!

I think you should listen to their debut album light us. It really showcased their vocals and rap there really well. The songs are versatile and some of the members participated in the production of the songs 😊

Thanks so much for this!!! I was shocked by how brilliant all of it looked the first time I watched it :D

Also please listen to their album, it's so great! ❤️

I still cant believe he didn't realize leedo sang

Oh my god! Thank you for reacting to them! Was waiting for your reaction! 😊😊😊

I love how u Praise them and also Critisize , that the only way they can improve. Not like other reactor are just showring them with compliment.

Thank you for reacting and going over the video!!!

i'm so happy that you did this !

Thanks for this fantastic reaction loved all the great analysis

I was hoping so hard for this reaction x'D

I discovered the boys of ONEUS back in June of last year, while they were still in their pre-debut stage - originally, I think that the boys were supposed to debut around August - but the date was pushed back. But honestly, the wait was really worth it - they produced SUCH an amazing debut album, a kickass title track, and made a drop dead stunning MV! To me, the song is such a bop - I expected a good song, but got a MINDBLOWINGLY AMAZING song, the guitar at the beginning already had me hooked - but god d a m n they did a clever job of combining the melodies of the mv teaser videos, and just - ONEUS honestly outdid themselves, and it shows how hard they worked

i loved it :D visually pleasing

It was an amazing m/v, actually I clicked on the actual m/v by chance (well, actually at first I thought the guy on the thumbnail of the actual m/v was Jungkook and click it, I am not an Army but I was curious to see what bts was coming out with) AND I GLAD THAT I DID. The first time that I listened to it I was like PD is definitely gonna like this...

I knew you'll react to this! I was waiting since yesterday. But i never thought that you'll point out everything. I enjoyed your explanation so much! Thank you for reacting to valkyrie💖

I've never clicked so fast in my life THANKS FOR THE BREAK DOWN UWU

I'm actually already obsessed with this video. It reminds a little of Hann from last year. Not really like the music or visuals, but in the way that it throws off what you expect to come next. Tantalizing was a good description. They had good members that stood out and the visuals were pretty nuts. Edit: Also want to say, that drab set gave me either Wolf by EXO or Mr. Simple/Sorry Sorry. I'm glad they didn't do just that, those sets are really the only thing that turns me off of those MVs

Guys, we can call him PD today

Thankyou for doing this

OMG THANK YOU!!! FOR REACTING!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Thank you PD for the review. 👏👏👏👏

Thx, i like this new segment of breaking down in the mv reaction.. As I feel, I learn new things after each and every mv reaction..

YES THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤❤💚💖💚💜💚💛💚💜

I'm so happy you reacted to this, i loved this boys and the song, and i know, you doing this is going to gave them more visibility. And as usual and cliché for us brazilians, sorry for the english You're incredible, keep going

THANK U SO MUCH FOR REACTING TO THIS!

OMG THANK YOU ITS SUCH A BOP

I think i'm gonna start liking them on the basis of that it brought back so much feels from the music alone and can't wait to see their what new they got

Thank you for showing me this

I have been looking forward to their debut album for one and half year! I love them!

This song and music video are so great, and I'm really glad to see new groups like these debuting because a lot of my favorites are either disbanding or doing military service so I need new favorites :( Also I'm so glad I found this channel! I'm a film student and my dream job is to be involved with music video post-production, and you point out a lot of small details I might not have noticed or thought of myself. I'll probably keep a few of the things you've said here in mind!

Yeah reacting to them !!! I hope you like it !!

In conclusion, stan Oneus!

I found them yesterday and I decided to stan them *immediately*

MV was made by Zanybros . Seems like they are RBWs fav MV producers ( they have been making all MMM MVs since 2016)

pleas could you react to ateez - hala hala

I love these kind of videos PD they're so interesting. And i'm expecting great things from Oneus, they sure have talent.

so my friend and I have liked ONEUS from pre-debut. we don't know much about production and stuff but we freaked out the day it came out lol. stan talent, stan ONEUS.

PD is pumping new vids. YAAY!

I'm glad you reacted to Oneus!!!

oMG HOW DID I NOT SEE THAT EARLIER I WAS LITERALLY WAITING FOR THIS REACTION-

I listened to this song for the first time today and I'm already addicted. Someone help me

YES THANK YOU

I actually really respect their company. They come from the same agency as Mamamoo (RBW Ent.). Most companies with 1 or 2 successful groups only focus on their successful ones rather than the newly debuted ones. For example Bighit and Pledis, they basically gave up on NUEST and Afterschool once Seventeen became popular and Bighit did the same thing to H.O.M.E. RBW didn't do that, they did what they could to boost ONEUS' success. Like I said, their only successful group is Mamamoo so they have a limited budget. Still, they tried their best and you can see that. That was my unwanted rant.

PD-nim! check our their live debut stage, you can see how they hit that Matrix bend. I was pretty impressed with this debut also, my multi-fandom ass is ready to stan

i really like this song. feels like there are a lot of variations in it.

the guitar reminds me a bit of the artist 'milky chance' - i'm not sure if it does anyone else but it makes me feel really relaxed and calm in comparison to the chorus lmao
