Leedo is the definition of an ace. He's beyond talented, honestly - he's one of their strongest dancers/performers, and he sings AND raps in a lot of their stuff, especially recently - including Come Back Home. His voice is gorgeous.

“RESEARCH PURPOSES” HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA 😭
Some members said in a vlive before that they don't really are fixed to their positions if a rapper fits with his vocal tone in a song that rapper will sing if a vocals rap tone fits a song that vocal will rap. This also means probably all members can rap & sing. (Seoho (main vocal) had a rap line in the LIT Road to kingdom stage he had me shooked tbh and now Leedo (main rapper) slaying us with vocals)

Please react to ONEUS's dance cover of "Dance Monkey". The choreography has an interesting story and it shows the different sides of ONEUS well.

Definitely. Please check that out.
in Shakespeare’s Hamlet, hamlet tries to decide whether kill himself or not by saying “to be or not to be” thats why the meaning is very dark😭💔 you can also see the choreo where they do point gun to their heads💔
the members especially RAVN took part on creating these masterpiece (the whole album LIVED), and about it being a trilogy, you're correct but to moons are still confused about it too because we had "Dead or Alive" as the 2nd track on the album and it just sums with the storyline. I hope you react to their other songs like Valkyrie and Twilight (choreography is insane bc it includes floorwork and the members Hwanwoong and Leedo took part on choreographing.)
I love this comeback’s concept so much. ONEUS are one of those groups that continues to knock me almost senseless each time with the intensity of their comebacks. Their vocals, Their performance itself. Their concepts. Wow. Just wow. Ps. Oneus has a brother group called Onewe. Xion’s twin brother is actually in that group, his name is Dongmyeong. They’re a Kpop band and have some really good songs. I actually enjoy a larger majority of their songs than Oneus’s. Anyways. Maybe you can add them to your list for someday far away in the future? ( I know you mainly react to dance groups but since you’ve modified the setup of your channel I thought it might be worth it to try😁)

Or even not far. They have a live concert on Vlive next Saturday (12th September), and a comeback on the way, so there couldn't be a better time to start..! ;)
leedo's duality(soothing singing voice and deep rapping tone) never fails to amaze people. that's why he's my bias(also, his dancing and visuals are chef's kiss)
I wheezed when you replayed that Leedo's shirtless part xD I mean, same

Same here ✌️😂
BRUHHHHHHHH AT LAAAAAAAAST!!!!!!!!! You're right at saying that this is a continuation of come back home but to extend that, the group has built a story even from their debut, Valkyrie to go to this. Also, they don't care about line distribution and positions, so basically they do ALL: they have 6 rappers, 6 vocalists, 6 dancers, 6 centers and 6 visuals. They only care about the BEST they can do. Leedo (blonde hair) is who you loved the voice, he's their low-tone rapper (and my bias too ehehe). Ravn (Black hair, high tone rapper) helped in the production of this song and the album itself where half of the members helped in the b-side tracks 💙
the VOCALS in this comeback was immaculate. also yes, join the leedo cult, jeff, join us. this entire mv was a whole ass rollercoaster tho (again, leedo cult . *one of us* . ) thank u for this reaction!
It’s not a dance practice but they released an uncut performance on 1theK (AND... they’re all in suits😍)
The guy's voice you pointed out, that is Leedo, one if the two main rappers of the group. He's a multitalented person. His voice can be quite alluring when singing but aggressive when rapping. ♡
Leedo has one of my favorite voices in kpop. His rap voice is so deep and rough and I love it, but when he sings he has such a full, smooth, gorgeous voice
ONEUS said stop sleeping on them already. They came to bias wreck ToMoon with this comeback and we all still thank them for ruining us afterward! If you haven't checked them out yet you should definitely watch their two stage break performances for 1theK, they are amazing.
Jeff I think you’ll really freaking enjoy the song and choreo of LIT
There's two 'story films' for this that expand on the story! But it seems like a vampire creation myth concept linked to Greek mythology (specifically The Fall of Phaeton, sun of Helios), and it does continue on from Come Back Home (which also has a concept film!). If you can, please react to their choreographies as well, Hwanwoong is heavily involved in choreographing all of them - To Be Or Not To Be is the first time he's not had a hand in it.
I'm so glad you reacted to this! Oneus really are concept kings. I just wanted to mention - Oneus is a group without "official" member positions - to kinda give the members a bit more flexibility and freedom.
Eyyy this is definitely one I’ve been waiting for! I haven’t seen the reaction yet but I’m sure you’ll love this choreo
-Wow, he looks pretty with the crown YASSSSSSSSSSSS

Ravn ultimate visual king
i don’t know what it is but there’s something about jeff’s reactions and comments i just relate to and enjoy so much hehdhd
leedo is the one I mentioned on the come back home reaction😆 The one with the awsome vocals and deep voice.
Thanks for the reaction! And you'll love the choreography for sure! And they released 2 stage breaks (dance covers) in the 1theK originals channel: 1. Dance Monkey (choreo made by themselves) and 2. Billie Eilish/BTS/Seventeen (where the Billie's choreo was made by themselves as well)
Jeff, you are hands down my favorite reactor. You take the time to look up lyrics, but you also try to remember/catch up with the groups you are reacting to. Many reactors tend to forget things about the groups and their music videos, whether that being they just react to so much and it gets to be a lot or they don't take the time. I always appreciate your insight and comments! Keep up the great work!
You know, when dance practices haven't been uploaded yet, you can check out Studio Choom or Suit Dance for the latest songs. they're usually uploaded very quickly esp Suit Dance. it shows the choreography really well. there's already one of To Be Or Not To Be suit dance.
Leedo is insanely talented. He's main rapper, but he's also the 2nd best dancer in the group and the 3rd best singer after the 2 main vocalists. I'm glad he's getting the hype he deserves
basically their official roles written in their profile is just for formality, they're all-rounders. Hwanwoong even said this once

They deserve so much more recognition... Not only the title tracks are amazing but the bsides... WOW ONEUS have a GREAT future ahead of them, they are so talented!
Now i'll just waiting for twilight, Lit, a song written easly, and Valkyrie (and yes it's a debut song) correction best debut song !
for the trigger warnings, to moon (their fans names): were spreading it all over twitter with time stamps for different triggers like blood, gunshots, etc.

Cant wait to see them as a KDRAMA lead actors ♥♥♥ .. OUR ONEUS are so talented ♥
i like their theatrical performances the most
Okay, so here's my theory y'all. Gonna keep it short tho, so it's comfortable to read. All the MVs are connected (beside A SONG WRITTEN EASILY.. Or maybe it was some sort of connection too, but I couldn't find out) In LIT, the six monarchs (oneus) are celebrating, having fun. Jealous Helios (Greek god of sun) curse them. In COME BACK HOME they fight with creatures that once were their servants to rescue the child that was born on eclipse (IF you want to find out more about that, please watch TBONTB story films). The war lasted ten Years until they finally rescue the child. But Helios decided to bring eternal darkness to the world. The monarchs realized that as long they're together, humans are going to live in pain. In TWILIGHT they eventually realize that there may be a way out - putting their souls, or even the souls of their ex servants into the necklace. Now from there we have two endings. Ending one is TO BE OR NOT TO BE. They put their souls into the necklace. It passed one hundred years or so until they realized that they're the strongest when they all together. But the only way to get their souls back is to murder the kid they once rescued. So they do that and then they're going for the necklace. They win with Helios (symbol is Keonhee putting the crown at the end) The second ending is VALKYRIE. They eventually decide to split up and live separately till the end of the days. Sorry if it makes no sense and if I made any mistakes, but English isn't my first language Anyways, amazing reaction! Love you Jeff.
Thank you for reacting to and praising such a talented yet underrated group! I hope they'll continue to get a lot of exposure and appreciation this comeback!
I discovered Oneus from RTK and after countless hours of binging Oneus content I had to make Leedo my bias. The duality gives you whiplash. Their cover version of 2pm on Dancing Idol had me floored. Leedo was too much to handle even the show’s hosts kept comment on his sexiness but he’s normally shy with compliments in interviews and he’s so sweet with kids (child actor in come back home) as he was a early childhood major it just melts my heart. Always love your reactions and your channel! 💖
This song slaps so hard, the prechorus and then the two part switch drop chorus with the 'Dead' And 'Alive' contrast. Fantastic cinematography and imagery.
When Jeff almost cursed seeing that they were being shot is a whole MOOD
THANK YOU JEFF For Reacting to ONEUS again ♥♥♥
OMG. I have been waiting for this
That shooting scene reminded me of B.A.P so much, makes me miss them. They used to make full on movies, I’m happy to see ONEUS doing a somewhat similar thing. I love storylines in MVs!!!
omg!!! Thanks for reacting to Oneus!!! pls react to the dance practice too someday😉
The fact that every single reaction I've watched of this starts with 'So many of you guys have requested this . . . ' 😂 There are not many Tomoons, but damn if we aren't persistent XD
we need a reaction to Oneus's Dance Monkey cover! It's AMAZING It's BREATHTAKING It's TOO GOOD
“Come back home” and “to be or not to be” have the same vibe because they are in their new mini album!
I'm so happy that you paid attention to Oneus bc they are amazing performers, they have incredible rappers, vocals with high notes, and an amazing sancer machine (Hwanwoong). And also their facial expressions are always on point appart from that their concept is so strong. Although all of this they are so underrated and need so much recognition. PS: They have actually performed it in KBS so you can check it out. Their company is small. Love your videos.
Not sure a lot of people know this, but EVERYONE in ONEUS can sing and rap. AMAZINGLY. His members have actually said that Leedo is probably the 2nd or 3rd most skilled vocalist in the group, despite his main title being a rapper! As well as one of their most talented dancers. And I'm not sure you noticed or not, I cant remeber, that he was singing in the last two comebacks as well! He had singing lines in Come Back Home, A Song Written Easily, and he even had some singing lines in their debut Valkyrie! He truly is amazing. No one expects him to be able to sing with such a naturally Bass vocal tone. (yes it actually is that deep, you need to watch videos of him talking its almost unbeleivable how deep his voice is)
Oneus deserve the world !!!!! I love Oneus ❤️❤️ Tanks react 😘
I really mean it when I say blonde is Leedos color, Jesus crist👏🏾 these kings have always been bringing it but ever since RTK, they have been on a whole new level and I live for it
OMGGGGGG THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!!! UWU
Thank you for putting those trigger warnings! (I was kinda mad that the official mv didn't give any disclaimer of any sort)
I LOVE ONEUS SO THANK YOU FOR THIS REACTION ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
That rapper that has a great tone you mentioned was Leedo. I can really relate to you when you said you're gonna bias him. I was like that the first time I saw them too. Leedo immediately snatched me and I didn't even had the chance to refuse
Please react to ONEUS Dance Monkey dance cover. Thank you!
"research purposes" I see you jeff 😂
I didn't watch the video yet because, First I want to say Thank you for reacting to Oneus Jeff!! These boys are soo underrated..They are really talented..These guys are sooo precious to me...I LOVE THEM A LOT!! 😍❤😭
This MV is a total cult❤️❤️😂
The Choreo video is out!!!!! I can't wait to see YOUR reaction to it!!!!
"r e s e a r c h p u r p o s e s" SENT ME. But joking aside, I strongly believe that Oneus already has multiple aces on their hands because they're strong dancers, vocalists and rappers. The other members are hot on their heels with becoming aces as well since they're so flexible with their positions and collaborative/nurturing with each other's development as performers. I'm excited to see how strong they'll be in a few years
The dance practice is coming, rbw are having people vote for the outfit they want the boys to wear lol (like 127 did recently). So yeah, it'll happen. This song, album, MV is a masterpiece! Stan talent, Stan Oneus. 💕
I think im in love with Hwanwoong 😭
1:22 4:41 and 6:07 (shirtless shot lol) That's all Leedo! He is technically a rapper (and part of the dance line), but as many people have already commented here, Oneus members do not have truly fixed positions. So he has been getting a lot of singing parts recently. His singing vocals also shine very beautifully in their "Be Mine" cover/performance for RTK, in my opinion; as well as the bridge in "Come Back Home" right before Seoho's high note section. Speaking of OST, he covered Gaho's "Start Again" for fun on their KZread channel!
I love this concept and the aesthetic is beautiful shoot the members are absolutely beautiful. Also this song sent shivers down my spine while watching it. Love this group ❤️
i cannot wait for a lit reaction. it is a favorite of mine. the energy truly is everything. any other oneus song would be great.
Pauses to appropriate their beauty - i can relate!
ONEUS are amazing performers, I recommend you to check out their older releases, especially "Lit". But honestly, their whole discography is a bop and I love their choreos~~ They can pull any concept and still have this elegant and graceful vibe.
Please react to more ONEUS!! All of their titles by now are incredible and they have a wonderful aesthetic. I would love if you reacted to 'Lit', it has a different style from what they usually do and the "Traditional Korea" concept is so beautiful!
1:22 I know riiiight, Leedo's voice from this song that makes me stan Oneus😆 usually the first thing that makes me like the group is because the main/lead dancer, but Leedo's voice is everything, I love the deep type voice, and his dance is my favorite too
Leedo is literally perfect. What can't he do?
6:12 "Research purposes" XD
Yes We didn't expect this Yes Leedo is a singer and Rapping
Here is an overview of it and my theory on the entire thing: The story (from the trailer and story film) is that the world was once ruled by six monarchs, who were loved and admired by everyone but they were jealous of Helios, god of the sun. Helios was jealous of the humans’ praise and worship of the monarchs so he threatened them with making the sun disappear forever if the six monarchs were not sacrificed to Helios. Finally the humans sacrificed the monarchs where they and their servants were cast to exile. He cursed them with a thirst for blood from the humans they cherished and once protected. Yet they only drank blood from evil people and continued to protect the humans but not the same way they had. The servants however hated humans for their betrayal to the monarchs and killed humans without mercy. A prophecy was given that a child would be born on the day of an eclipse to be used in a ceremony to bring an eternal night to humans. When the day of the eclipse came a child was born and a war between the monarchs and their servants began. Said in the lines “on the day of the eclipse a child was born as predicted; and the devastating war between the monarchs and their servants, to protect the child, lasted 10 years.” The war lasted ten years before the monarchs finally won but when cutting the neck of the last marquis he pledged he would be back for the child when the red moon appears again. The battle scenes in the video are of the last battle of the war where the monarchs won. The story films explain what happens after they won the war and what Helios does to them. To Be Or Not To Be is how they are woken centuries later, in the modern era, and they have to retrieve the necklace they sealed their souls inside of. When they try to retrieve the necklace they are shot, the more modern version of ways to stop threats instead of swords. The bathtub of blood Leedo is in represents the blood he’s soaked in from the battles; Xion’s hands covered in black represent that their hands are still trapped like “cuffs” in a sense; Keonhee is believed to have lost himself and silenced with innocence and blinding himself to death and dread until he has to face it; Seoho is trapped in one place and bound to the root of his own issues; Hwanwoong with the thorns are to reference the biblical story of Jesus and his crown of thorns that he wore, in a sense he’s wearing it to show he is trapped in the role of sacrifice that he can’t escape from; Ravn is the one killing the descents of the child to free the others of their curse and pain but he falls to his knees in despair realizing he took the lives of people he cared about. The opening scene of them having dinner is of them is before they were imprisoned by Helios for the death of his son. However, in the dance scene the reference of the giving of blood to wake the others is represented by Hwanwoong laying down and Seoho above him to be appearing to cut his hand, wrist, or arm then Hwanwoong wakes up. My theory is that since the song Dead or Alive off the album is referenced several times and To Be Or Not To Be is referenced in Dead or Alive it will be another video release to continue the story that the ending cliffhanger left us with, or the next comeback. PS: the audio clip played at the end, when played in reverse, says “devil” as the title of the album “Lived” does.
YOU'RE SO ADORABLE I CAN'T
I will fully support and fund your further "research" of my bias ❤️😂
"research purposes" ...I felt that
Thanks for the reaction, Stan ONEUS C:
Yes!!!! Thank you for doing this one!!
I don't think anyone knows what Leedo is doing anymore. He did zero rapping in their RtK performance of Be Mine. And I just.... Sort of okay but slapped me sooooooo hard in this. And his head roll had me on the floor unable to breathe. This was a deadly comeback. End of story.
HAVEN'T WATCH THIS YET BUT YAAAAAASSS FINALLY ONEUUUUS
you need to react to their suit performance of this song. The choreo is just breathtaking .
"for research purposes" had me DYING. And LEEDO'S VOICE... I can't.
Don't need to be embarrassed we all need to do that "research purposes" on leedo
Yes, Leedo is a rapper but his singing voice is just dreamy
The guy that you want to bias is Lee Do!!
**research purposes** me too JEFF MEE TOO! XD
YAYY LEEDO IS MY BIAS TOO i love him sm he’s truly amazing
"research purposes" you're so cute hehe
They just released a dance performance version of this song if you're interested ^^
“research purposes” same i mean we-
{ First off, I am thankful for the trigger warning whenever I watch the MV I'm worried for the viewers who could've been triggered so yeah thanks for that } I am internally screaming because I WAS WAITING FOR THIS !!! I'm so happy that you reacted to my babies ONEUS again 🥺 I hope you check out their other work too - they've had me hooked since their debut with Valkyrie and I'm keen to hear your opinions about it. Also, big mood with biasing Leedo - he was my first bias too haha (and going back for "research purposes" is so relatable aaaah). And the comment about "I'm not ready to part ways with Come Back Home" is SUCH a mood because that was a bop and this is a bop and argh I'm so proud of them it hurts. And yeeesssssss their regal aesthetic for this (hopefully trilogy) is godtier
One of my fave songs ♡
yesssss been waiting for this!!
You need to wach all their mv's they so good
This MV reminded me of VIXX's Voodoo Doll for some reason, probably bc they had similar dark -type themes. Jeff, you should totally react to Voodoo Doll!!!
1:39 he is rapper and he can sing.
To Be or Not to Be is the story of Shakespeare's Hamlet by Ryan North and btw... *RESEARCH PURPOSES* I'm laughing out loud hahaha
Yes , LEEDO is a rapper but his vocal is really good too ♥♥♥ + a visual group they are ♥♥♥
finally oneus 😭❤️
