    I'm honestly disappointed that she didn't get her first win yet. This concept is so unique and Moonbyul deserves more recognition. She's the definition of girl crush, breaking gender norms and coming out with a song that's so catchy and unique at the same time. I really wish she'd get at least one win. She deserves the world.

    I think you're exactly right about everything except this wasn't a song given to Moonbyul - she wrote the lyrics and devised the concept. Love how your perspective on gender led you to understand immediately that this isn't a girl doing a boy group song, it's Moonbyul being genuine & being herself doing a gender neutral song. It's not a bad girl or girl crush concept devised by a kpop artistic team & marketing dept to fit music they ordered in off a songwriting menu so they can make money by promoting an idol using an image they think will be popular. It's Moonbyul being Moonbyul and I agree that it's both groundbreaking and progressive.
    Imo over the last two years Mamamoo has matured and developed personally and artistically to the point where they've reached their full potential to express themselves as artists and take on even more of a leadership role as socially conscious members of the kpop community than they have in the past with their lgbtq support and efforts to reach out to hearing-impaired fans. We've seen it with with Hip and their campaign against internet bullying, Wheein's Goodbye regarding love in any form, and Solar's commentary about female genital mutilation and the song she uploaded today about saving polar bears. MMM has always pushed the gender envelope but with Eclipse Moonbyul became the first kpop artist I've seen who simply ignores and transcends gender altogether. 👍🌜🌟❤️️

But it's actually really fresh for a female to transcend gender and so she's the first for females, given the risk that SK is kinda sexist and favors guys more than ladies. Oh well what a queen

    FYI end of last year RBW asked the girls what they wanted to do regarding their solo activities. MOONBYUL said she wanted a solo, WHEEIN said she wanted to rest due to her health( 1 month) HWASA said she wanted to rest and work on a comeback (incoming april I guess) and SOLAR said she was too afraid to do a solo yet so she just wanted a duo (ft. KASSY). That's how a company should be !!!!

      Moonbyul as a role model helped me accept my style, the way i dress and carry myself. Some people misgender me because i have short hair and i usually wear loose fitting clothes. My body is slightly masculine, my face is androgynous. I’m tend to act and look more masculine than feminine, but i don’t like it when people address me as a guy. It makes me uncomfortable, like i have to change my appearance just to be seen as a woman. Stereotyping doesn’t die. If i have short hair, people are quick to assume that i’m posing as a boy or that i’m gay (though i’m bi). I’m grateful to have Moonbyul as an example of just being yourself whenever i start having doubts about the way i am. Despite not personally knowing her, i can relate to her and seeing that she’s comfortable in her own skin regardless of what others thought, it gave me hope that someday i will be too. Moonbyul is such an inspiration, showing us that one’s style shouldn’t always be gender labelled.

    RBW have to be congratulated in allowing Moonbyulie to explore her voice, choreography and style in a solo album. I suspect, after the last year when Mamamoo had seen Moonbyul sing and dance and with Moomoos applauding her contributions, RBW realised that she was liked for things other than her rap contributions. I love this song and wish Moonbyul all the best for her new album.

    I love the fact that her company gives her (and all of Mamamoo) the freedom to be herself. They've never pushed a style on her, they don't force her to wear something she doesn't want to wear, they give them creative freedom and in return they made a really unique and confident group. I wish that other companies could see that letting your idols be more involved in the creative process, and allowing them to be themselves, can be way more appealing than forcing them to fit into pre-made molds.

  • @yeskblanco9103

    Moonbyul said this in an interview when asked about the huge differences in style from previous release Selfish: "The style I wanted to try is something like what you see in Eclipse. I've been longing for such style. I don't want a line dividing 'masculine and femenine' in music. I thought 'this could work for a woman', so I tried it out."
    Honestly, out of all of the comebacks you had to catch up on, this is the reaction I was looking forward to the most. What she did was historic! And I wish more people would have shown the support she deserved. Nevertheless, you can still see it in the numbers how big of an impact she made in the industry and I hope that moving forward more female idols dare to try something like this and follow her progressive approach to everything she does.
    Also, AleXa did a dance cover to this. You should watch it on your own time because it is FANTASTIC!

    Yes the pitch! I realized recently how high pitched girl group kpop songs are, it's insane, and I'm pretty sure most gg singers can sing and might be even more comfortable singing lower but the companies decide to make the songs super high. It's really refreshing to hear a Korean female singer singing lower, and she's not even singing that low! In general Eclipse is really refreshing

      In essence, you are correct. But the light side / dark side of the moon is just the symbology used in the song.
      The concept of the music video goes a bit deeper than that, it's a bit more yin and yang. It's about how everyone (including Moonbyul) has a light (good) side and a dark (evil) side in them and who you ultimately end up being depends on how you balance those two sides.
      In an interview Moonbyul explained the 3 main personas in this video. First we have the light side, Moonstar, in white, referred to as the protector who is protecting you with her light. Then we have Monster, in black, who is, well, a monster. Between the two we have the Mediator pulling and being pulled by the ropes as she tries to keep balance between the two.

Moonbyul is unique and I love that this song represents her so well. In some behind the scene video she said something along the lines of "I'm glad I get to do the concept I really wanted to make" and that's just so refreshing in an industry where performers are often just given something kinda regardless of what they feel like doing. I feel like it shows in the final product when they do something they truly enjoy, always looks less "fake" and "acted".

    i saw this video pop up in my feed and literally shouted "yes!! yes finally!" out loud as i clicked on it. i have been waiting for you (and reacttothek) to post your reactions to this because i have just HAD to know that i wasnt the only person to be so completely struck by it. my friend showed me it the day it came out and i think i otherwise wouldnt have checked it out because im not a moomoo and havent paid attention to them around any of my other ult groups. but i was just absolutely blown away by exactly what you talk about toward the end here, by how much this track as a title comes across as a "masculine" "boy group" track. listening to it i absolutely could have imagined vixx or block b releasing this song in early 2015, and the swagger that moonbyul has in this mv and in every live stage ive watched with her is parallel to that of the boy groups that are out there today. i cant properly describe how happy that makes me in an industry that profits off of and thrives upon the separation of binary male and female identities. that moonbyul gets to perform this song, like this, as herself, without sacrificing her presence in her group... as someone who was assigned female at birth but identifies very little with traditional feminine presentation, it means so much to see moonbyul out here finding a groove that fits her so comfortably.
    thank you as always pd-ssi for putting this content out for viewers to enjoy, and for putting so much effort into all of your public releases. ive been a fan for a few years now and i think this might be my first comment, but you've helped me find so many new groups to follow, and given me a window through which to understand what really makes the best out of the mv's i like so much. keep up the amazing work you and your team do!!!

  • @meetmeinthehallwayoopies2081

    Moonbyul is such an important artist in kpop especially amoung the women, she breaks the barrier, she's not fem and doesn't try to be it, she's so authentically herself. She proves the statement of the fact that fashion is genderless and all women are different.

    I don't know Korean and the first time I watched the video I hadn't put the subtitles but I literally cried when she stops that loud music and says "I'l become a star and shine on you". When I stoped the video, all tearing up, I looked for the translation and I cried even more, it stills give me chills everytime I hear to it.

    BTS got me into KPop and thanks to them I found Mamamoo. Mamamoo was something I was looking for and didn’t even know existed. I love love love Moonbyul. She has that strong sexy cool vibe that always sucks me in. Pretty is as pretty does but I love a woman who is herself and make no pretensions about who she is. This song is glorious.

    And yes, I agree. I have never seen Byul go off this hard. Could it be her sound moving forward? I'm interested as well. I liked Eclipse, I had hoped that the sound would be more...metal? Maybe. I think she has found her sound at long last. I loved her past releases (IMR, Selfish) but when I saw this...it was just so...her. Lol

  • @k_airo
    @k_airo Před 4 lety +2

    The concept and play on words with Moonstar and Monster representing the polar good/evil sides of her personality is SO clever. Also, something to note is that the version of her at 3:18 with the ropes, is apparently meant to represent the preservation of balance/equilibrium and struggle for control between the two extremes.
    P.S. Dude, words can't describe how happy am to see you reacting to this!! Your taste is of the reasons you're the only reaction channel I watch :D

    I’ve been waiting for your review because I knew it was going to be good and honest.
    I was so happy that you saw and said that this isn’t Moonbyul doing a concept but this is Moonbyul being the person she is. She has so much potential because she’s not your typical K-Pop doll and I hope that even if she’s ahead of her time she still can be the person she wants to be. In my personal opinion music is the best when the artist can show their most honest selves. That’s what gives music depth and I’m glad RBW gives those girls the opportunity to explore themselves.

    Mamamoo is the first and only girl group i've ever stanned, and moonbyul is one of the reasons why. I'm not a feminine girl, and it reaaaaally feels good to have someone similar in the kpop industry. All the girl group concepts are about being cute, lovely, bright, going after boys, etc. It makes me barf honestly. Moonbyul doing this concept is a breath of fresh air. Truly unparalleled and deserves more praise than what she got. 👏

    She won in a show of singing contest for girl group rappers. The show called Second World. The prize a winner would get was an opportunity to sing an ost for a jtbc drama, and a solo stage for Golden Disk Award ceremony. You said you wonder if her company want to promote her as a solo since she's that good. Apparently, RBW has no plan for her. Her Lunatic song was lunch an hour late than it should be, and now she won that show and earned a solo performance stage for GDA, her company decided to do a concert in HK on the very same day of GDA. Moonbyul have prepare for that show since April this year that's why she decided to leave her DJ work at Studio Moon NIght to focus on that. Her company started planning concerts just this late quarter of the year. They didnt even anticipated that she might win and save the date for a GDA performance. And now they saying that she cant attend GDA and had to pre-record her stage. HK concert details are not even out yet, there Philippines concert willl be later than HK, but the ticket sale will be by first week of december already. Fans are demanding RBW to change HK concert date and LET MOONBYUL PERFORM LIVE ON GDA. But they dont want to answer us and refused to listen. They rather sabotage her success as a solo artist and as a winner of that show.
    Btw, thank you for believing Moonbyul's capability as an artist.

    PD as someone still learning Korean (still a toddler level here) it would be interesting to see your translations of songs. No language can be translated one to one and different interpretations can be had by those with differing levels of knowledge from one language to the other.

I feel like a lot of time when I watch K pop i feel like the concept don’t really fit the artist - like they were given something and were force to do it so they try to act up for the video but it wasn’t them. In my opinion, music is a way of expression and music will sound the best when the artist sing from their heart, that the case with many western artist like Lady Gaga, Adele and I feel like it also the case here with Moonbyul. THIS IS ONE OF THE SONGS I LIKE THE MOST FROM HER.
