➫ HI!
I am an actor and content creator with Hollywood credits including roles on Lucifer (Netflix), Starlight Christmas (Hallmark), JT Leroy (Universal Studios), etc. In this channel, I offer insight to Kpop performances using my 10+ years of training in dance, acting, singing and overall performance. In dance, my forte are contemporary and musicals and have done most of my performances in theatre. Although my channel is mostly known for dance analysis, I am currently inactive in the dance community.
I recommend checking out their cover of Cherry Bomb!
I mean Mr. SM was impressed by it so....
@@mailysh.jenkins6565 IKR he was so impressed he worked with LOONA on So What! :D
Yeees Cherry Bomb and Fire dance covers are amazing!
up
Sandra Farfan YESSSS
LOONA is the best dancing girl group out there. I'd highly, highly recommend their covers of Fire, Cherry Bomb, and Eclipse. They make them their own.
Oh gosh yes, those are the best kpop dance covers in history
I dont know about the best, thats quite controversial but they ARE one of the best
Ecláir Monochrome it’s an opinion but tbh I think so, whole group wise. But there’s many great female individual dancers in groups.
@@eclairmonochrome5635 Then who is the best?
@@choerryIover Im just saying there are groups that are on equal par with them, for an example, dreamcatcher so its tough to just they they are the best
If you want meaning Loona is the group for you. There's literally a whole universe around them
Loona, Gfriend, Dreamcatcher and Itzy are some amazingly talented girl groups who are incredibly talented at dancing and synchronisation!! Please check them out as well as more girl groups, you're really missing out!
Also everglow
Yas Gfriend!!!
dreamcatcher and gfriend really have my favorite choreos ever
and WJSN
agree, and iz*one in my list too
YOU SHOULD TOTALLY CHECK OUT SO WHAT MV ITS A LITERAL MOVIE AND A CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE 😩✊
the choreography is amazing🔥🔥
Imagine Loona and Seventeen presentation the Queens and Kings of synchronization 😱
but for me Seventeen : KING OF SYNCHRONIZATION IZ*ONE : QUEEN OF SYNCHRONIZATION LOONA, DC, ITZY : PRINCESS OF SYNCHRONIZATION Well we have different opinion, dont judge us bcs not all of people have same opinion, right?
fitri khoirutunisa iz*one is fAAAAAAAAaaaar away of being queen of synchronization
But for me Gfriend is the queen of synchronization
@@amalinsofea3211 I love how people are respectful here about their opinions
11:00 TOTALLY AGREE. That made me realize that Loona are different, they aren't like other girl groups especially this song and the message it has, it's what made me stan them when I too don't watch kpop girl groups alot.
You’d like dreamcatcher if you wanna look into more girl groups. Their concept is really different and their choreography is stunning-
Formation q u e e n s. My jaw dropped when the Jeju Hallyu Festival video for their Bang Bang Bang cover came out (all hail Dami), then they knocked it out of the park with Scream
Reil8 WE NEED THIS
I wanna suggest Chungha stay tonight* because it has a lot of voguing elements in the dance! Very interesting and very well choreographed :) Edit: Jeff has a reeeeeeaaaaaallllllyyyyyyy long list so Let’s be patient 😅😅😅 Edit 2: He hearted! ❤️
theycallmeangie I think you meant *stay tonight and yes, I totally agree!
@@vedanshichanchu3432 oh my im so sorry 😂😂 it's 2am here i should sleep hahaha thanks for correction!
Check out Dreamcatcher , Chungha and Sunmi
I asked about it too :) hope he sees it
Yesss he should react to stay tonight 💙
since this is the first girl group you’re reacting to it’s a really good start cuz they’re so talented and their choreos are always incredible
LOONA GIRLS FEMALES THANK U JEFF
Firstly, the high “Butterfly” sound was electronically upped in range to create that higher sound. Next, watch another version that gives you all the choreo, but still includes the classy outfits: kzhead.info/sun/nruicqqGbYycqH0/bejne.html This is their Dance Cover Contest version.
To continue with LOONA, you should also check their new relase "So what" ! One member is missing but the choreo is amazing and Lee Soo Man (SM) participate in the comeback ! :)
as a caratbit, loona and seventeen are one of the most, actuallu maybe THE MOST SYNCHRONIZED kpop groups
okay we're same😭💘
LOONATEEN WORLD DOMINATION!!
hope they will collab later bcs these groups are so talented, I mean sometimes Loona being self producing like SVT too. Idk why but I stan these groups as Caratbit forever. Never ending. We'll support each other. And dont forget to a fact that big group like Svt, Loona, Iz*one, NCT isnt easy to synchronized their choreo to each other, y'all I always stan these group forever
I think there is just as many "girl crush" and "tougher" -image girl groups now, who don't portray that cutesy theme that people most often associate with kpop girl groups
I hope so! We need more variety 😁
You must React to Loona Cover dance of NCT 127 - Cherrybomb, They're so Lit!!!
Yess
This!!!
All their covers are INSANE 😍
@@lisreads4872 Yup! Agree!💚
yeeess
I’d say that Loona get more freedom to do dances and songs like this because their fandom is about 80% females (many are also lgbt) and the ceo of their company is also a female which is pretty rare in kpop. So they don’t have the same pressure to adhere to standards that others may have. Also something that no one has mentioned that I personally really like is the way their outfit works with the choreo. Every outfit they’ve performed this song in has a long flowy ruffled sleeve which I think really adds to the butterfly imagery and arm choreo.
Jeff: "I hope that a lot of their songs...have meaning, have purpose..." Orbits: "Well now, let us introduce you to the LOONAverse."
04:27 that's the Loona sound ;)
Squishy Kookie I 1000000% agree with you this is my first time really invested to a girl group and people said Orbits always treat Loona like the different one like bruh every fandom always does that and sadly we’re the target now
@@lowhead_bread SO WHAT FOR THEM 😊
You should check out their So What choreo as well as their dance covers of Eclipse and Cherry Bomb
Definitely
+1
btw if you react to So What, it has a female empowerment message just like Butterfly. In the beginning of the MV someone says "do not accept the fate of the moon." The moon symbolizes femininity in many Asian cultures so that sentences is saying that you can break away from traditional gender norms. It's also interesting because LOONA's entire concept revolves around the moon: their korean name means "Girl of the Month" because there are twelve girls who each represent a month. The word for "month" and the word for "moon" mean the same thing in Korean, and "luna" in Spanish means moon.
@@TaliseSnyder That's one interpretation, but it's a very limited one. So What isn't strictly about female empowerment or 'traditional gender norms'. It's about being who you are and not forcing yourself to conform to societal norms, whether be it gender norms, the way you dress, the way you express yourself, your attitude, whatever. It's also about not relying on others to succeed. Yes, the moon symbolizes femininity in many Asian cultures, but "do not accept the fate of the moon", goes further than that, especially when you put it in the context of the whole intro. The fate of the moon is that it can only shine by reflecting the light from the sun. It does not have a light of it's own. So, "Do not accept the fate of the moon" means don't settle for reflecting the light of others. In other words, don't rely on others to create your success and don't allow them to set the rules of what 'normal' should be. Create your own light, break free of the 'norm' and rely on yourself. The next line, "Get off the track" is pretty self explanatory, don't be a mindless follower. Create your own path in life and, again, don't let other dictate you what the 'norm' should be. "Reveal to the world the hidden side" is telling us not to wear a mask, not to hide who we really are. Be yourself. Last but not least is "Burn yourself". Obviously, they don't literally mean that you should light yourself on fire. They want us to deny the fate of the moon by 'burning' ourselves, allowing us to create our own light. In other words, they're telling us not to just reflect the things and people around us. They want us to shine in our own right. I mean, they literally (through the magic of CGI) lit the freaking moon on fire which, to me, sums up the intro perfectly. They gave the moon it's own light so now it's not limited to only reflecting the light of the sun.
We can't talk about LOONA without the word Synchronisation.
It's been a while since this song and mv came out and as a girl, it still brought me to tears watching it... yes the video is empowering!! And if you noticed, the representation in this mv is amazing. There were women of many races, many body types, many colors, women who wear hijab, women whose feet was broken, school girls, everything. The representation really matters
Dreamcatcher is a must to check out....these girls have amazing and sharp choreo...not only that but it is also very unique
“If there are any other girl groups like this let me know...” I’m afraid no one else is like this, only Loona
Iz*one's title tracks have some really pretty imageries in their choreos, it's worth checking out!
+
You should check out Dreamcatcher their an amazing girl group I think you’d like them :) OMG thx for the likes!!!
Loona and Dreamcatcher have the most similar choreos to boy groups in kpop, and all of them are great dancers (i guess that's why Orbits and InSomnias support each other so much)
Yeeeeees, i love Dreamcatcher!
Jurica Kuzmić I totally agree with this. But I would add AleXa if we count soloist. Her dancing is so good and is like boy group dances as well.
@@drinkwaternotalcohol yes agreed!!
@@drinkwaternotalcohol i agree
Yay, loona, I’m so excited 😆.
YESS LOONA HOPE YOU REACT TO THEIR SONG SO WHAT TOO!
Hello 👋, finally 😌introducing✨ Loona🌙 Are 🌟you 😍girls 👭 ready🙈? Okay👌, let's 🌚go!!!!‼️🤩
Loona have actually covered Seventeen's Thanks, so it's funny that you reacted to both around the same time haha
also the synchronization. Omg i cant believe they can synchronized same as Seventeen. Actually i'm waiting for Thanks full cover
I've heard somewhere that most of them was actually dancers . And if you watch the MV . The scene start with the dark scene , i also read somewhere that its you (its like mirror, you can see yourself on screen) . So they actually asking you to join the mv . Means this song also for you . I am not loona fans actually , and never seen any loona video . Butterfly was actually my first loona's video , and so what is my second loona's video .
OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DID THIS, I DIDN'T REQUEST IT BCZ I WAS THINKING YOU ARE ONLY DOING BOY GROUPS, I'M SO EXCITED
The whole song is just ELEGANT it’s SO beautiful and Loona is an amazing group!! They all can sing and most of them can rap and all of them can dance also they have a super diverse discography and a cool storyline.
"That timing is art" Nonononono Loona is art
when they said "synchronized", they were not joking
Yay Loona. React to So What from them. It’s one of my Favorites. I would recommend Chungha & AleXa if u plan on doing more girl group/soloist reactions. Also I wouldn’t mind if u did analysis or reactions on girl groups. Even if you don’t know the technical way they do it, it’s always nice to see an appreciation of the dance of song. Even if u don’t like it, i’d still watch. 😊
Good to know, I wasn‘t sure if you would react to girl groups or not but it‘s good to know your reasoning behind it 😁👏 I actually never listened to Loona before but I enjoy most girl groups who don‘t do this typical girly concept :‘D I especially like Dreamcatchers music and choreos, they have two pretty talented rappers in their group and I enjoy their darker concept, they‘re also pretty underrated in Korea 😪 But Loona has similar difficulties as Seventeen, synchronizing so many members and giving everyone of them a spot in the spotlight is so hard to achieve and they have to change formations pretty frequently for that, they did an amazing job at that and I like the sound of the song 👏
React to So What and their covers of other boy groups, like Cherry Bomb, Fire, Eclipse. Pleaseee
CARATBIT ARE WELL FED TODAY! thanks Jeff! Do learn about Loona more, they're soooo talented 😭💕
You should react to Dreamcatcher now: You and I, Scream, Chase me and Good Night, Deja Vu or Fly High. Trust me, you won’t regret it. However, I strongly recommend You and I.
@@minbum2320 she's just recommending. jeff is the one who choses so it's fine :D but tru tho.. don't tell him to react ALL of them oof
You should check out Scream by Dreamcatcher and All Night by Astro :)
No but seriously Jeff,,, you need to react to more girl groups. You are missing out, and thats very unfortunate. You and I By Dreamcatcher, you wont regret it.
I like that you're very honest with your reactions. some only give their opinions on the good and never the bad. you're quickly becoming one of my fave reaction channels
Thank u! 😁 I’ve watched reaction videos for years so I’m just doing what I wanted and haven’t seen from the reactors I was watching. I’m glad it’s resonating with you guys!
The greatest girl group choreo in kpop history
Yayyy, my favorite girl group!!! I'm such a proud orbit, they really live up to the Stan Loona movement
Omg yes, I'm not a Loona fan, but I think they are one of the best girl group when it comes to dancing, if not the best. Pls, react to ITZY and Dreamcatcher next.
loona as a group is something special. before they debuted they would release a new member every month (since october 2016 through 2017) called, "Girl of the Month" that would be in a group and sub unit. Each member was assigned a color and animal. they would get their own song to perform. for example, the first member was heejin and her song is call "Vivid" . her animal is a rabbit and her color is bright pink. loona tells stories to the point many people have theories about their songs, each one has a hidden message. i hope you continue to support loona and their story.
This boi is all over my recommendation for a year. I've been missing out, he cuteee. I'm also an orbit so this reaction speaks to me.
OH WOW YOU FINALLY WATCHED LOONA MY ORBIT HEART IS SCREAMINGGG
was not waiting for thisss i'm so not ready thankssss jeff
Please react to Dreamcatcher , they are kind of like pop rock its amazing and their choreography is really good as well.
I feel like you could like Dreamcatcher, they have a very different sound not only from girlgroups, but from kpop groups in general
Also theres a amazing soloist Chunhgha She's recognized as one of the best female dancers of kpop. You should react to her latest single Stay Tonight!! Thanks love your reactions❤️
when you mentioned empowering lyrics i immediately thought of Everglow's Adios or Dun Dun and for different sounds definitely Dreamcatcher's Deja Vu and Piri
LOONA has 12 members who were revealed one at a time per month across the span of a year, each debuting with a solo and MV. Their name 이달의 소녀 means Girl of the Month and the first letter of each syllable is rearranged to firm LOONA (i.e. Luna of course) so their English name reflects their Korean name and concept. It's such a good branding and design choice imo
i've been waiting for this! thank you
Loved your thoughtful reaction King! Subscribed!
I love your reaction and commentary, thank you so much 🌙💙
love your commentary!
i like that you highlight the message and meaning of it. appreciate it.
I really loved your comments prompted by the outfits!
okay but, what a thing, one of my favorite ggs to be the first you drop a reaction for, so glad, and I'm excited that you enjoyed it a lot!!
I recommend to watch dream catcher girlgroup
AHHH I WAS ABT TOLOOK UP FOR THIS ON YOUR REACTION VIDS BUT HOLY MOLY IT POPPED 😍😍
thank u for the video,i wait this for the whole day
i may sounds dramatic but ngl i started tearing up when you said “i love the message of this song” like i don’t know why but i’m in tears
Whenever someone says "girl groups don't usually" I just know they haven't listened to many girl groups at all. It's sad that so many girl groups are dismissed under that umbrella. Also that women are considered sexualized in skirts while guys aren't when they're often around the same age without shirts, grinding on stage and doing body roles. The view toward women is always so distorted.
i definitely understand that frustration, particularly because girl groups always seem to be held to higher standards. It's always about being different from the "other" girl groups, which often has a negative connotation (and sometimes that just means being some form of girl crush/hip hop). Boy group songs are about flex/love/typical things too most of the time, so i don't see why girl group songs need to have meaning to be interesting and worth featuring. :/ kind of wish people would be more open to appreciating girl groups for what they are. no hate to jeff though i dont think he meant anything negative, i just think girl groups should be cut some slack when it comes to this. sorry this is inarticulate and long hahaha
Watching this reaction made me love you even more as a person to be honest! The way you addressed a topic that most people usually overlook in kpop and the way you interpreted the song regarding that just made me feel so happy! Thank you for that :)
I've already seen this reaction more than 10 times (no joke), your facial expressions, your comments and everything, it's just perfect
I've wanted to check out Butterfly for such a long time bc I heard so many amazing things about the song and especially the choreography! I'm not sure why I haven't checked it out myself so far but thank you for reacting to it bc through you I finally watched it as well😄🙆🏻♀️
thank you for this !! i love watching people react to the dance practice and mv, it’s like watching it for the first time 🤍 i’d recommend watching more of their dance practices !!
At 10:18 when the screen goes blank, it was done so that you could see your own face...this song sends out a nice message so they want us to be involved in the MV too!!
Yay, LOONA! Thanks for your honest and thoughtful reaction :)
I’m so happy to see this!!!! I was really hoping that you reacted to some loona content
I have already watched the MV of this song and i still got tears 😌 it's so BEAUTIFUL 😍 But i never watched their dance practice video and watching it, it gave me goosebumps OMG🔥 💓
this reaction video gave me an opportunity to look back and see specific details i miss in Butterfly's choreography. everytime i watch the dance, i figure out a whole new HARD & DIFFICULT details in the choreography. Thank you and let's appreciate and love LOONA more.
jeff's first gg reaction is my ult🥺💖 i love you❣️
Omg you reacted to loonaㅠㅠ I've been waiting for this video. Love u from Argentina
Thank you for your reaction. Butterfly's choreo is one of my favorites
FINALLY LOONA! I WAS ABOUT TO SUGGESTING U TO REACT TO LOONA. YAYYY
Love your reaction 💕
I always enjoy watching reactions especially from people new to LOONA. The different perspectives from different people give me a different feeling of the group, even though I've watched them a countless times. It's nice to see them getting such good feedback from people in different walks of life, industries, professions etc. Thank you for reacting with such enthusiasm and perspective and I hope it would lead you to check their other choreographies and dance covers as well.
rewatching this while waiting for your reaction to so what hihi
YESSSSS U REACTED TO THEM IM SO EXCITEDDDD
Glad you start doing gg. I remember at that time everyone was so hype with Butterfly. Such a beatiful choreo.
yes!!!! stan loona, they have a whole universe of theories, it's so interesting! a lot of symbolism too (and talent + good messages)
Loona is SUCH a talented group with a huge variety of genres! the members were introduced one by one each month with their own solo song before the groups official debut as 12 with the song 'hi high'. Their latest comeback 'so what' also talks about women empowerment, its very different to butterfly with a much stronger concept. plus they have a whole universe of lore within their music videos, so if you were serious about seeing more of them there is a whole lot to cover! I truly recommend getting into them, they're one of the most talented and hardworking girl groups and they're also just to sweetest girls
normally when i watch reactions i watch the video mainly, but youre so damn beautiful i kept looking at you omg also stan loona
I really love loona and their choreo and I hope you'll react to more girl groups! I really liked your video, thanks for reacting👍👍👍
love that you pointed out their outfits!! the choreography and overall message came out much more clearer bc of it and its one of the reasons why theyre my fave girl group. i genuinely believe loona is extremely underrated dance-wise; not trying to compare to other ggs but they’re definitely the best in the choreo/formation/synchronization aspect

The thing with LOONA(and mostly their older videos) is that the group has a concept it focuses on mainly on music videos instead of just focusing on choreographies,visuals etc. They make it clear that the group is not here for us to follow and be inspired from just musically but in our everyday life too.As you can see, it was made sure that they focused just as much on the concept of female empowerment as on the girls and that's very beautiful to see from artists.They turned their art into OUR art too.
I am SO glad KZhead recommended me this video!
eyy i think loona's best careography is butterfly. you should react to dreamcatcher- chase me! they're the only krock girl group in korea and they dances are synchronized too please react them:)
Definitely recommend Dreamcatcher if you're going to check out more girl groups!
Thanks a lot for reacting to Loona. Hope you enjoy😀
Dont you just love it when even their hair is synchronized? You love to see it
OMG YASSSSS I WAS WAITING FOR THISSS
React to the cover of Loona "cherry boom" pls :(((
This is the prettiest choreography I've ever seen! It's so flowy and feminine and empowering and free.
