Cube found a goldmine with soyeon , she’s an actual artist with a vision , that’s the blue-tint and the blueprint of their entire career , I genuinely think she’s one of if not the most impressive and quality artists in kpop , her art has substance you can feel it , you can grab it it tangible , not just “this is cool , this is will continue our success “ there’s a certain heaviness to them , it’s art , Ngl it started to make me think what would happen if sayeon created concepts for groups like blackpink , even if it’s just once

Soyeon also makes the english lines easier to sing and understand for Korean fans, that’s why the tomboy rap was like that

Yuqi, every time she starts singing in this song, I will be amazed.

For the last sentence in lyrics it's not just "You are dirty minded" , she actually sang that "Pervert is you". 😂

Me again, story time 👇 In Korea it is very common for men to take pictures of nude women without their consent, so there is a lot of research for these nudes there, and with gidle comeback they made all the research go to their music and fought the sharing of these images. Besides that in Korea, "IDLE" is like a "child" or "children", so if someone searches for images of children, they'll give it to their music. The significant impact that (G)I-DLE’s new song “Nxde” is causing with internet searches in SK. When you search for "여자 누드", what is now appearing are articles about gidle and their new comeback, together with the lyrics “Why you think that ‘bout nude”. I don't know if that was intentional or not, but either way it was fucking brilliant and amazing.

I really love how you analize the lyrics every time, thank you so much for never giving bland reactions, it makes you stand out a lot!! Nxde is incredible, as far as message goes but also the execution, it's a statement against the industry but done in such an elegant way, I really don't know how can idle do this, but they do it every time Btw my favorite b-sides are Change (composed by Minnie and written by Minnie and Soyeon) and Dark (composed by Yuqi and written by Soyeon), they're insane

I know that you are kinda new Neverland so let me remind you, but Shuhua changed her hair color first time in her life, she never done that before, at first People couldn't believe that and thought that she had a wig, until they saw her in public with blonde hair and People were going wild in media, she was even trending on Twitter for some time Fun fact Soyeon knew it that Shuhua loves her natural hair and she respectet that so she didn't want to force her and she had other concept ready if Shuhua would not agree to change her color, but after 2 days of thinking Shuhua said yes, but I also think that this is really showing how much of respect the members have to each other Soyeon knew how much Shuhua loves her natural hair and she was ready to change the concept if Shuhua would not want change her hair but Shuhua believed in Soyeon and she really liked the concept and was ready to change the hair color for the group

I love Shuhua here, it's defenitly her era she just shines so much and her vocals are amazing here, also she is second in the line distribution, go Shuhua

THIS WAS SO EMOTIONAL !! Especially the ending holy shit I cant wait for more🤧

Fun Fact: This song/concept/comeback nearly didn't happen. Shuhua (girl in the green dress) originally didn't wanna dye her hair blonde, and Soyeon told her she had another song/concept ready if she chose she didn't wanna dye her hair blonde. Basically, if any of the members are uncomfortable with the image/concept of the song they are shown by Soyeon, the MV won't be filmed and nothing will happen, instead Soyeon will go through other concepts until all the members like the concept. This shows how close ALL the members are, since they all have to agree to what their concept and music is.

Soyeon is a genius!!! When she said about doing this concept inspired by Marilyn Monroe in a Home Alone episode back in May, I didn't know what to expect but a masterpiece!!

Soyeon is a genius. That's my comment.

I AM SHOCKED… gidle has done it once again! the vocals CHECK visuals CHECK concept CHECK song CHECK influence CHECK the part that got me shocked was when soyeon took off her top and one of the comments was “she can’t rap” OH NAH SHE AINT AFRAID OF YALL she is infact mocking those silly people 😭🙅🏾‍♀️

YESSS SO GLAD UR REACTING TO THIS!! Their cbs always have great messages but this one especially, after the difficulty they went through last year and with tomboy’s success that also brought a lot of hate to them, - especially soyeon - is so meaningful The way they embodied marilyn and betty boop and used that image to show how women are constantly objectified and have their value reduced to their appearance when there is so much more to us is just amazinggg, I love how you broke the concept down and pointed everything out :) Rly hope u react to the whole mini album!! Love ur videos

I'm not sure if you know, but (G)I-DLE's former member Soojin loves Marilyn Monroe and looked up to her - she often used her as inspiration for expressions and such, had her as her phone lock screen, etc. A lot of people are sad considering she would've shined so much in this song. People think the cartoon lady in the MV is Soojin because of the same beauty mark Soojin has under her eye. Could be the group's way of still honouring her.

THEY SNAPPED ALSO, SHOU OUT TO SOYEON FOR THE TITANIUM MIND THAT CREATED THIS CONCEPT

Wait, what?!!! PEOPLE BACKLASHED AT HER FOR HER RAP PART IN TOMBOY?? That's my favorite part of the MV!!!!

Now that you mention about how Soyeon was taking the piss on people making fun of her Tomboy rap, when one of the teasers came out, there was text at the bottom that said: "Why you think that bout nude?" And people were not happy, they were talking about the grammar and how "oh the rap this time is gonna be shit too" and didn't even catch that it's Soyeon asking like "when I say 'nude' why is that your first thought?". There were no critical thinking skills being used there and people were even telling her to get an English ghostwriter. People always talk about how bad her English raps are, but I guarantee you, no non Neverland on twitter is gonna talk about her Korean raps.

The way they used the most famous melody from the opera Carmen as a motif throughout the song as well? Such a perfect matching of concept, music, and visuals. Nxde might be their most impactful comeback from an artistic perspective.

The last line gets me everytime. "I'm born nude, you've got a dirty mind." That's why I love (G)I-DLE, they are so iconic and just are themselves.

You got the meaningggg immediately, love itt. Some people watch without the lyrics and get confused thinking their still talking about literal Nude. It literally addressed the objectivication and sexualising of women which is still so in society today and for as long as we can remember

One of the few reactors who get the song 👏🏼👏🏼

I think Nxde is absolutely what the Kpop indutry needed. Lots of people are gonna hate it, but even more are gonna love it. The concept is genius and it's brilliantly put. As fot the album probably Change and Dark (x-files) are my favourites, Shuhua's vocals in this comeback are amazing and I think you need to listen to I never die as well. Can't wait to see your reaction!!

My favorit on this album is (if we put Nxde aside) DARK (X-file). Its so catchy

i love your analysis SO MUCH you're so smart😭❤ also it's wild to me how you haven't read their interviews or anything, because some of what you're saying sounds like paraphrasing them and i love that!! like I'm glad all of that shows from the lyrics and MV if you want to see it! also personal favorite from the album is maybe 조각품 (Sculpture), I just hope that Minnie wasn't inspired by her own life there, cause oof the lyrics

When you realize how deep the song and video are, it's just pure gold. Such a great concept.

Hi, I am so happy for your reaction to the song Nxde. I really like how in depth you go into the song’s concepts, the lyrics, the meaning of the song, historical references. yes I am happy you noticed the Marilyn Monroe reference! GIDLE pink dress scene is a reference to Marilyn Monroe’s Diamonds are a girl’s best friend song from 1953. I am blown away by G-IDLE’s Nxde concept was inspired by Marilyn Monroe and Old Hollywood Glamour. I saw so many of Historical references, literary references, and messaging of women empowerment in the lyrics and in the music video. I am not sure if the song sampled a classical song. The instrumentals seem similar to me. But please can anyone let me know.

Jeon Soyeon everyone!!👏👏 She’s is a genius and one of the most talented people in the industry🔥 (G)-idle never disappoints✨

Banksy's reference at the end... wow Soyeon is a genius!

I’m loving this era of (G)IDLE, they are not just giving us songs but giving us DEEP meaningful songs and showcasing that they actually are aware of social issues/kpop issues

i just LOVE ur reactions, cuz u not only react but also grasp the meaning behind songs & talk about it. keep going, love u !!

I was waiting for you ma'am.More idle please love your reaction.

Your delight was contagious and so precious ❤ I adore Nxde and I look forward to the stages! They managed to beat my expectations into the stratosphere lol For the album, my favorite bside so far is Reset. Since you said you were going to listen to the album, just in case you might not be aware of it: the songs are meant to be experienced backwards for the full story (from the 6th song to Nxde)!

One thing is for sure, you'll always get the message and i'm here for it! My favorite song in the album is Change and i feel like you'll like that one aswell. and just a heads up, they said that the story line of this album is actually reversed so you might want to listen to the songs from number 6 to 1

It will never not be entertaining when Soyeon is clapping her haters. It's also unfair because she has a brain... and a genius one at that.

I have seen some reactors catch on to a theory, which I can't deny has some weight. A lot of the cartoon gal's looks remind us of Soojin. She has a mole and wears the ruby red lipstick. The newspaper headlines in the video refer to "A woman who is sexy" "Troublemaker/Liar/Rumors" "Such a Wasteful Woman" so some of us wonder if there is an underlying message there? Edit: I watched their interview where they explain the song in detail, and one thing to pass on- listen to the album BACKWARDS (from 6 to 1) they said that is how the album was made to be listened to.

it's so funny and im glad you understand the meaning of everything so quickly, gidle posted a teaser of soyeon saying what she says in the intro and the haters made hit tweets saying she doesnt make sense and just saying anything, like, whats so hard ?????? they are so dumb and pathetic lol anyway i love your reactions as always

Someone who got the meaning....without getting stuck on the 10sec English verse! We love you. People need to chill about the English in kpop songs. As long you get what they mean why are you bothered. Isn't society supposed to be more accepting now T.T

The whole Album is trending on music charts too. This group is just so damn strong.

Please look up at the meaning/controversey of Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass. The book that Soyeon was holding in the beginning. It gets MUCH deeper and shows how detail oriented Soyeon really is in this production! Mind blown! Also, favorite songs from the album are Change (reminds me of childhood/late 90's - early 2000's music for some reason) and DARK. The lyrics are DEEP!

Actually, this comeback was VERY expected, because they made a lot of references that Soojin would comeback. And, for what the Neverlands (G-idle fandom) said... The animated girl is Soojin, I mean, the animated girl looks exactly like Soojin in OMG music video. And, Marilyn Monroe was Soojin's inspiration, so, they put a lot of her

You didn't hear the rest of the "I Never Die" album yet? You have to, every song was great. This album was really good as well, my faves were Change, Sculpture and Dark (X-File). Also this was easily the best reaction video I've seen on this so far.

Using a translator, words can be strange. I'm a Korean who watches overseas reaction videos when I drink I've been looking for someone who fully understands this video. Not just looking at everyone's beautiful faces. You made my hard day enjoyable. Thanks a lot.

and if it wasn’t a masterpiece already they referenced Soojin a lot here. They already did it in Tomboy with the 6 balloons that came from the car. Soyeon mention the 5 diamonds in her bag in « my bag » representing the 5 members since she’s the leader (we know). And here you can see the animation looking like Soojin. It’s her expression attitude and the mole under the eye. + soojin is a huge fan of Marilyn and the members knew about it (this is most fan theory for this particular thing) + you can see just before Soojin does the 2nd « shhht » there was a zoom on the picture and you can see the same heart balloon from tomboy in the left corner. So it’s all linked and I’m crying- Soyeon is one of the best leader the industry has ever known and one of the best artist in the industry too ✨🧚🏽‍♀️🤍

Ok I'm new to this fandom and my bias is Yuqi and I feel like there's not enough people appreciating her so thank you for pointing out her vocals because she ATEEEE this MV and vocals

Thank you so much for this wonderful reaction! You're by far my favorite reactor because your interpretations are always spot on. It's more than just a concept for them, this is a statement. My favorite songs on "I LOVE" have to be sculpture, reset, and nxde.

i love this reaction and breakdown!! i love that it's just not a reaction without pauses and then the video ends but you really think about the lyrics, the visuals, and pause and break down your thoughts for it, and i really appreciate your insight on this cb, so big thanks!! excited for your album listen, Soyeon's mentioned if you list from reverse order, so track 6 to 1, it tells the story of heartbreak to self love, which i think is really cool!!

I knew G(idel) but didn't get in to them that much before as a fool. after they came to amazing Saturday and saw their natural interaction i followed and this. damn comeback. I also knew you will understand the lyrics and concept well when I saw you have reacted to this. you never disappoint me

I love how the first thing Soyeon does is to call out people with perverted views (why you think about nude? cause your view's so rude). being nude in this comeback is obviously symbolic as in "being your true self" but some people will just jump in to see sexual nudity as soon as they see the title. she invites people to "think outside the box" and to see the true meanings behind their music and then they will like it more. genius moves right there

Thank you, I thought I was the only one getting the Marylyn Monroe vibe.. Yetty, I’ve missed you 😫

YES U GOT THE MESSAGE YES WHAT AN AMAZING REACTION (and omg I didn’t even realize that it was slaps ab relations btwn Marilyn Monroe and the kpop industry, iconic) gosh you’re so smart !!!!

I was looking forward to your reaction for this. =) Not disappointed.

Thank you for analyzing the lyrics and everything! This whole mv is a masterpiece in all aspects 💜

I can always count on you to understand what Soyeon is trying to portray!

This "how do i look" it is pronounced with such passivity and irony as if we wanted to ineptly To please someone, I think

this is my fave reaction of nxde out of all reaction ive watched so far

Do u know how amazing u are? I wish everyone had this huge power of interpretation u have, ur on a whole superior level of reading the subjective

Since you asked for b-sides! I'm probably forgetting many but some of my all time favorites are: - From this album: Dark X-File, Change and Sculpture - Put it straight, nightmare version (watch their Kingdom performance and/or their dance practice to it, they're amazing!) - Villain Dies and My Bag from the Tomboy album - Hann alone in winter ( it transports you into another world every time you listen to it)

Been waiting for this 💖💖 Can you also react to 28 reasons by Seulgi, stray kids case 143, Blackpink's solo live stages from their recent concerts too plz 😭❤

i love ur reactions and how u actually take the time to analyze the meaning behind the lyrics and music videos

Yay! I was so excited for your reaction, I love the way you talk about the meaning behing everything. This is my second comeback with them and I'm just so happy I found them!

I always love your reaction on them. Thank you.

Минни очень идут светлые волосы. У Соен очень интересный голос. Шухуа, юци и Миен прекрасны! Все очень вписались в клип. Круто, что группа не боится реализовывать такие концепции! Мне очень понравилась партия Минни

You're always so perceptive in your reactions, it's a joy to watch you! Also Nxde is just crazy good

Thank you so much for giving us this explanation. ❤

I love the fact that Soyeon included Soojin in the MV, since Soojin's role model is Marilyn Monroe, and the drawing in the MV looks just like Soojin because of the mole she has under the eye and the blonde hair

love your reactions!

I was waiting for your reaction, and as always it was the best I've seen. You really try to go through all the meaning that the girls are bringing to us. Very good and i loved it. 😆🤗

My gawddd your mind at 4.01😂👏👏you understood even beyond that

Love your reaction so much💖 if you want to understand the storyline of this album(I LOVE), listen from track 6 to track 1🔥 And hope to see more gidle reaction😊🥰

As always, I love your analysis of the lyrics and video!

Yoooo this is the best reaction video! I love it 🥰 just subscribed!

I def needed this explanation for the video!!

I like how you go in to understanding what Soyeon is saying with her art. Here are a couple references from the video that go deeper... In the early part of the video we see Soyeon and the "betty boop"ish character reading "leaves of grass" by Walt Whitman. Here is the introductory section for "Leaves of Grass" on Wiki... Tell me if this reminds you of anyone... Leaves of Grass is regarded by many scholars as a completely do-it-yourself project. Whitman chose his idealized self as the subject of the book, created the style in which it was written (working hard and intelligently to perfect the style over a period of six or seven years), and created the personality of the proletarian bard-the supposed writer of the poems. Leaves of Grass is also notable for its discussion of delight in sensual pleasures during a time when such candid displays were considered immoral. The book was highly controversial during its time for its explicit sexual imagery, and Whitman was subject to derision by many contemporary critics. Over time, however, the collection has infiltrated popular culture and became recognized as one of the central works of American poetry.

I LOVE YOUR REACTS OMG

I always love your reactions ! one of the best on YT, I really enjoyed Reset (A slower Ost like song) and change in 'I Love' would love to see your review of the album !

Omg I love this song, it's so good

영상 너무 잘봤습니다 😊 감사합니다

My fav reaction video and I love the interpretation 💜❤️

so, i discovered your channel today but i already noticed how u look deep into the lyrics and meaning of the songs you listen. so, i looked on your channel searching for a "discovering dreamcatcher" video and didnt find it so i feel like i need to recommend you them. theirs songs and mvs are stunning, their voices and coreography are amazing and they have so many important messages. also, i think it would be nice for you the see some non maisntream groups and see how talented they also are.

Cube Entertainment talent scouts are outstanding at picking amazingly talented individuals and polishing them to shine brightly. Since 2015 (minus CLC) their groups have never followed “the trend” or done what people expected them to do musically. BTOB writes songs designed to help heal and comfort people through everyday trials; Pentagon writes songs that give messages aimed at personal growth & struggles; & Gidle writes songs that tend to address societal issues that women face (let’s face it, the boy groups can’t bring justice to these issues because they are male, although some of their songs have at least pointed out these issues). I am looking forward to seeing what the baby groups (Lightsum & NBG that supposed to debut early 2023) will bring to the table when they are allowed the artistic freedom that the senior groups have now. I truly hope that these groups continue to write songs that will help both people and the world itself.

I like your interpretation. I can relate to it a lot

i love that u love idle

they are all incredibly talented and I am a big fan of Yuqi's tone BUT Soyeon is an absolutely mind blowing talent. Watching more videos about them and seeing her wide skill set is mind blowing.

They all did so amazing 🤭🤭

Baby girl they never pretend to be someone else not even a single day😂 They’re the only Kpop group I stand I love the meaning behind every songs that soyeon wrote🥰🥰🥰

I love the homage they pay to the legendary marlilyn monroe

Such a 90s vibe!!!

is it me but i feel like you could interpret the MV so well? like i, myself was quite lost when i watched the MV. Anyways another amazing video!

I'm a stan now

I rlly hope u will react to the Album bc its definitlly so worth it. Its amazing. the lyrics are so great

My favourite, love

totally agree!!

Dark is one of my fave

Thank you so much for understand the deeper meaning of this song cuz sadly so many don’t. They think this song is just dumb and not attractive because they just don’t get it. Please support I-dle guys!

While sure the inspo for song and outfits here is clearly Marilyn, Soyeon's dress in the glass reminds me SO much of Lady Gaga and I lost my mind 😍💖

Yesss I love this comeback 💗❤️‍🔥

당신은 정말 명석합니다! 당신은 이 뮤비의 메시지를 바로 이해하고, 해석하고, 소화해냅니다. 노래와 의미를 모두 즐길 줄 아는 사람이네요. 보는 즐거움이 있는 리액션 비디오였습니다.

In this album my favorites are Change and Dark (X-File), you should see their track video for dark. But I also recommend that you listen to other albums from them, cause they're all pretty good. But my favorite album is definetly I Never Die. It represents so much, and is filled with references. Anyways, great video, love to watch! Congrats!

l really love this album!!!! My favorite is reset, change and love
