Ok, I was searching reaction videos of ONEUS' Same Scent Performance video and I am shocked there aren't more than just couple of them. What. The. Hell.
I was so impressed about the live version already and in my mind was hoping they would do perfomance video just like they have done of Lit and Luna, and they did! Such a nice surprise at the end of the year 😍
The video is so pretty and well shot, so is the whole choreography and how they have transformed it to fit the new version.
Not to mention how well this shows how talented the members are! I mean, look at Hwanwoong and Leedo doing Ravn's parts like it has always been their own. And I love it, especially how Hwanwoong does it. It shows that the members can take any role in the group without it being somehow less effective. I wish people could see that more.
I know that we all agree in the fandom that ONEUS needs much more recognition! It's so frustrating because you are so overly impressed with what they do and people are just sleeping on them.
Thank you if you read this far 😆 I needed to get this out of my head.

-anyways-
As a general thought:
I feel. damn. proud. When I finished watching this, I said "Gosh that's why I love Oneus" as artists so much. When they show their well crafting in mature, gentle, delicate, elegant, traditional, minimalistic concepts, it just makes me feel like I'm watching an elite theatre piece. There is not a single member being missed out in this production. Not a single of them. Let me tell you, Same Scent (traditional ver.) is not your "snack" concept. This is a long living art piece indeed. You'll go back to this or Intro: Window performance and say "damn this is ahead of its time".
Also, who is the conceptual designer and perfromance director of this version? Cuz this is how you put a vision into a performance.
The highlight member(s): Keonhee and Xion.
Keonhee's stage presence improved A LOT this year. Whenever he comes to the center, I just keep on getting stunned by his silent power. He is just delivering something else.
For Xion, damn I feel so proud of him. His mysterious power has been starting to get poured but now, I can envision a future where he is going to take it to another level.
Ok, I have to ponder this out loud now because I have noticed it too many times within the last year or so.
So what's up with the views on Youtube with the Kpop mvs(could be more than just these)recently? When the group releases a new mv, it gathers the views from the first few days and then it suddenly just stops.
First I noticed this with Ateez' Guerilla, the views just froze and it took a long time to reach 30 million mark, then Oneus' Same Scent(even more slow, just reached the same mark few days ago) and even Seventeen's new mv has stopped getting views that much. That one was so surprising because I thought it would keep getting views because it's so amazing. And actually now it seems like it with Oneus' Erase me too.
I'm just very baffled, do people not watch videos anymore? Are the mvs now something that also lose value so easily? If that is the case, it is very sad.
Little ramble, I don't know where else to put my frustration 🙈
