i unfortunately do think it's a marketing scheme by 8d (although the devil's advocate would be why would they choose this theme in Korea where it is still extremely conservative and homophobic, however it should be noted that most consumption of bl-themes are by straight women) but i do genuinely believe the boys stand by the lgbtqia+ community and they embody 100% of the lore with involvement in production, choreo, etc... so therefore, i believe OOO members themselves are not queerbaiting, but i cannot confidently say that about the entertainment company itself.
@adamcolclasure48929 ай бұрын
They might be queerbaiting perhaps, but I'd feel that way more if it was pushing lgbt theme in teasers but in mv was entirely different. They're all as a group set to be in a bl bump up business. Now they're a relatively, small group however, its still frowned upon or risky for kpop idols to be in bl let alone talk about or reference LGBTQA. As a gay Lyon with a dash of asexuality on the side, no other groups try to actively speak too me. Saying you support something and actually, supporting something are usually different. The only 4 groups that have spoken to me musically is ooo, shinee, a.c.e and stray kids. I follow a lot of groups all boy groups, but very few I'd considered myself a fan of speaking to me personally and making good music is different. I've been a kpop fan since, late 2nd gen until now and it hasn't changed for the few groups I'm a fan of even after 9 years so I'm happy for any group that supports my existence as a human I like to know where I stand so I'm not supporting wrong group.

haven't watched the full video yet but even if onlyoneof are "queerbaiting" idgaf cause they're giving young queer people like myself an outlet, a voice and a place of acceptance in contrast to a VERY large industry that's usually too scared to even touch these topics at a surface level. I would be surprised and maybe a little disappointed to find out no one in this group is actually queer (which seems unlikely tbh), but I would still appreciate what they do for all their lgbt fans around the world edit : watched the video and now I REALLY mean everything I just said❤

Also I like that they used the phone booth and not just a cellphone or other thing to communicate because there is the whole “coming out of the closet”. So if you think like this there are lots of moments where they are inside, sometimes with the door opened, like an invitation for either they come out or someone to come in with them. Also the Phone booth has clear walls, it could also be an indication that people still can see you inside, either that be people who share that experience or people who deem it. I think that when people accuse them of queerbaiting is because they get just libido and forward and don’t look since the beginning. They have a lore and the queer experience is part of it. Loved the video!

I love OnlyOneOf so much. I am a queer teen myself and their music is such a comfort, it destigmatize what ive been struggling with for all of those years and im really thankful i could find them and their songs I found them throught LibidO and liked the song a lot. I then found out about a group doing queer representation, so i listened, only to find out they were the one that made LibidO and that's how i started stanning them. They really helped me throught a lot and helped me throught my healing process, and im so glad that i found them. Thank you for making this video, seeing all those people saying they're queerbaiting makes me so angry because they obviously dont know what queerbaiting mean and are, most of the time, only h0m0ph0bic and dont wanna see queer representation in the kpop industry, an industry which is already pretty toxic and doesnt allow much liberty from their group and idols on such topic(s). I am so happy to see that our boys are gaining more and more popularity and recognition from kpop stans and im pretty sure it will open doors to more progress in the industry. And soon, we're even getting a lightstick!! Im so proud of them <33

thank you so much for this video! it's a tricky situation because i understand where people are coming from. From an outside perspective many people saw , as you said, a group that just woke up one day and decided to be gay for 3 minutes to shoot an mv; and i think that actually would've been the case if they did that only for the libido mv, but the fact that they continued exploring this subject for about 7 mv's after libido (skinz, the solos and seoul drift) completely proves the point that they're not trying to catch some views and gain popularity through controversy. Also i'd like to believe in the boys's sincerity, but i wonder how they truly feel about having the "queerness" be a part of their concept; i wonder what their families and friends think about them portraying same gender relationships in a country as south korea who is still very reserved about those topics.
@seOuldriftz11 ай бұрын
i have no reason to doubt their sincerity especially since the members are very involved with their work and seem to be comfortable with the concept. rie even said in an interview that the libido music video was inspired by a movie that kyubin had picked & the members all watched it together. not to mention yoojung genuinely being excited and pointing out rie's pride bag in seoul drift, and encouraging mill & nine while he was on set for the kiss scene in beyond, etc. they even helped a queer couple propose at one of their shows and junji cried, + all of the other interactions queer fans have had with them in person. i have also wondered what their families might think but they seem to be supportive and even attended their seoul concerts that they held a couple months ago.

i just watched all of your content and i’m so grateful for these videos analyzing OnlyOneOf concept and their music. i’ve always been so annoyed when people accused them of queerbaiting, because it’s so stupid. real people cannot queerbait, and more importantly, the characters they depict are literally queer and in gay relationships. i guess the definition just flew over their heads because they wanted to ignore what OOO was doing. their music is so important to me as someone who loves singing and is in the LGBTQ+ community. i may be surrounded by people who accept me, i may be blessed, but it’s still so amazing and comforting to see a group get so much hate and criticism but push through and continue what they’re doing. their sound is so unique and brings something new to the music industry as a whole, not just kpop. they’re so brave for doing what they’re doing, and i don’t think people realize how stupid using queer representation as a cash grab is in korea. they wouldn’t be pushing these taboo topics if they didn’t actually care about them because of how conservative their country is. even other idols who are openly supportive haven’t gone as far as OnlyOneOf has. they’re the only group i’ve ever considered stanning, and the only group i would go to a concert for, the only group i genuinely care about. nobody is doing it like them.

This is fantastic. If they had actually been queerbaiting with libidO, it wouldn't make sense for them to continue using gay themes due to the intense backlash they received for it. Also, it's extremely ironic how all of the people claiming they are queerbaiting are just assuming that all of them are straight. Those people are the same ones who preach about not judging others or assuming anything. Obviously, it's highly unlikely that even half of them are gay or bisexual, but a couple of the members set my gaydar off like crazy. *cough* like the king of girl group dances who i shall not call out by name but we all know whom I'm referring to *cough* But really, though, it's wild how so many kpop fans are begging for even just one idol to openly support lgbt people and when an entire group finally does they are accused of queerbaiting and hated. And again, HOW DOES LITERALLY ANYONE KNOW THAT THEY'RE ALL STRAIGHT? Some of the most masculine dudes I've seen have been gay men and some of the nost feminine dudes I've seen have been straight! You literally cannot judge a person's orientation based on anything other than *their orientation*. Ok, rant over. This video is really well articulated and I am subscribing. Hope to see more from you! Sorry for the book 🙈

its actually through their music that i realize i do hide a lot even though inside im mostly okay with myself. Im from a really small town on an island of 120k people so loneliness is nothing new for me. I wish to live authentically but its really hard :/ Its kinda crazy how their music resonates with me in such an organic way I haven't felt from other groups/artists (kpop or none kpop). On the surface their concept seems very in your face but it actually has some pretty interesting layers and details to it too. They have my full support cause it is so hard to do something different and not back away with it or feel burdened by it xx
@noni431511 ай бұрын
I completely feel the same way about their music resonating with me vs other kpop groups. I don't like to use the word "queer" as it's used as a very hateful slur where i come from, but I've struggled with understanding my sexuality and just who i am for probably 15 years now. I've always felt like a weird person with a weird sense of humor, weird perspective on things, weird interests. It's difficult for me to be close with people because I am afraid if i let down my guard and just be myself, they will think I'm weird. OOO's music touches my heart in a way that other kpop groups don't even come close to. I think their music can be of comfort to anyone feeling alone and uncomfortable with themselves, even if it doesn't relate to sexual orientation or gender. Their music is really genuine and it's like being gently patted on the back and being told "it's ok". I hope they get the recognition they deserve one day.

Lovely video, thank you! Even tho I've been a lyOn for like 1.5 years I still learn something new every time I watch a video about their lore. Honestly I think OnlyOneOf have the most interesting lore in kpop, at least from what I know about other groups - it's so raw and real, depicting the life and struggles of so many people irl, but it's all so subtle at the same time, that's why I had no idea about many many references that they've made. They are truly amazing and I hope they don't stop their journey to spread love for a long long time.

As a lyOn of 1.5 years I can tell this guide is literally perfect, I love how you highlighted all of the members' skills and talents, I agree so much with everything, especially Kyubin's unique voice which is underappreciated imo. And Mill's rapps that you included are my favorites, like "a sOng Of ice and fire"? top favorite. And the subtle promotion of Bump Up Business is great, I really hope this drama gets a lot of good attention but I haven't seen a lot of promotion so far. All in all, thanks for the guide, even as an experienced lyOn I enjoyed it and I'm sure many baby lyOns will find it very helpful!

I completely feel the same way about their music resonating with me vs other kpop groups. I don't like to use the word "queer" as it's used as a very hateful slur where i come from, but I've struggled with understanding my sexuality and just who i am for probably 15 years now. I've always felt like a weird person with a weird sense of humor, weird perspective on things, weird interests. It's difficult for me to be close with people because I am afraid if i let down my guard and just be myself, they will think I'm weird. OOO's music touches my heart in a way that other kpop groups don't even come close to. I think their music can be of comfort to anyone feeling alone and uncomfortable with themselves, even if it doesn't relate to sexual orientation or gender. Their music is really genuine and it's like being gently patted on the back and being told "it's ok". I hope they get the recognition they deserve one day.
thank you for sharing this, i relate alot to many things you said. this is why i love onlyoneof so much. they make us feel seen.
Lovely video, thank you! Even tho I've been a lyOn for like 1.5 years I still learn something new every time I watch a video about their lore. Honestly I think OnlyOneOf have the most interesting lore in kpop, at least from what I know about other groups - it's so raw and real, depicting the life and struggles of so many people irl, but it's all so subtle at the same time, that's why I had no idea about many many references that they've made. They are truly amazing and I hope they don't stop their journey to spread love for a long long time.
As a lyOn of 1.5 years I can tell this guide is literally perfect, I love how you highlighted all of the members' skills and talents, I agree so much with everything, especially Kyubin's unique voice which is underappreciated imo. And Mill's rapps that you included are my favorites, like "a sOng Of ice and fire"? top favorite. And the subtle promotion of Bump Up Business is great, I really hope this drama gets a lot of good attention but I haven't seen a lot of promotion so far. All in all, thanks for the guide, even as an experienced lyOn I enjoyed it and I'm sure many baby lyOns will find it very helpful!
