Guys, I fucked up the settings on youtube and acciditenly made this go live a whole day early!! BUT, this is definitely up there with my Scream (Dreamcatcher) reaction, this song blew me away and I hope that even a portion of everything I said made any sense haha! Thank you for watching, and check out the Patreon - www.patreon.com/DGReacts

And this is why I subscribed. You're the first reactor to get the whole "forbidden love" aspect of this. Korean culture is not Gay friendly, and I've said that Kpop, and groups like (G)idle, are challenging that, maybe getting to the younger generations. The red stuff pouring on her face, I've always taken that as a representation of this "forbidden passion", since it's not the dark reds in the rest of the video, but who knows?

This absolute masterpiece of a song is even more impressive when you consider the fact that after Lion, Soyeon's plan was for (G)I-DLE to have a comeback with Hwaa but Cube didn't approve of it so Soyeon had to go and quickly write and produce a plan B; this was her plan B... the girl works in mysterious ways, I tell ya 😳😳

i love your reactions, man. normally i do not like when they pause the video a lot, but i make a point of watching yours, bc you always have a very good perception about each song lyrics. your interpretation is very good and that's why i absolutely love your channel! btw, gidle is a great group with extremely talented women. all your songs are amazing, and i hope you can react more in depth to the group! hwaa and uh-oh are great even!

I'm pretty sure I said Soyeon's name like 4-5 different ways, I hope at least one of the times I got it right haha, I can't belive I mispronounced the name AFTER LOOKING INTO HOW TO PRONOUNCE THEIR NAMES 😞

This has to be one of my favorite kpop songs ever. The beat, the drops… it’s all so different and I love it.

Soojin is the Temptress here. Purple is her Influence. Also I love "Goddess Miyeon" with her crystal tears looking down on them when the cup drops. You seem to pick up all the other story lines same way I do. Also Soojin holding the white Apple.

I feel like Minnie was actually resisting that temptation and rejecting her feelings and she would rather die than live as a "sinner" so that's why she unalived herself

But fact that this was all in Soyeon's head is fascinating

This song is honestly phenomenal. Your interpretation matches my own pretty well so I'm happy, because you are always so insightful. Yeah I love the strong LGBT vibe, especially given the market this was made for being what it is. For me it's all about temptation, passion, and self acceptance. If you are willing to give in to the temptation of a love that is still seen as taboo in many cultures, choosing to pay the price of judgement so that you can allow yourself your own happiness.

the fact that you got the "forbidden love" side, when Soyeon basically confirmed it with a single emoji on a korean video discussing the song.

so happy you reacted to this one, this is my favorite song by gidle, it's so different from the typical kpop song, it just left a big impression on me.

The closest I can get to Soyeon in English is "Sow - yawn". :) I may have said this before, but you are amazingly insightful. You understood so much from the first watch that it took me many, many times to grasp. Just several things for context that you might not know: They stated that Soojin represents a demon that is trying to corrupt the others. Some stay pure, some resist better, some embrace the "sin". Their albums are themed, and this one is named "I Trust", where Soyeon hopes that everyone trusts themselves first. There is an English version of the song. It is much more explicit, but since it is written by a translator and not Soyeon directly, I can't be sure how closely it matches her intentions. You said that the title is used in two contexts: as a cry for help, and as a cry of a... different nature. I will add a third: it is what pretty much everyone (including me) says when they see the drop for the first time. Soyeon's writing and composition skills are on a next level. But my favourite performance of theirs is Put It Straight (Nightmare version) on Queendom. She took a sad ballad B-side, and completely rearranged it with horror, madness and rage. Best stage of anything I have ever seen.

whenever someone reacts to this song, i always feel the need to recommend the music video teaser of "oh my god" because the teaser definitely is the best music video i've ever seen. if you are interested in a slightly different interpretation, i suggest Form of Therapy's video analyzing this music video and song. (G)I-DLE are musical geniuses, i'm sure you know that already, and i am so excited to see what will happen in the future. thanks for your reaction, i enjoyed your interpretation very much!

I love this mv!! An explanation video definitely helped me with this one but you're getting it pretty well but it's still interestingto check out. I love the pro LGBTQ aspects to it. This song is so haunting I just love the feel of it. I played this song on repeat for like 3 months!!! I love how the mv opens and closes the same too!

I think you will enjoy OH MY GOD English version. It was more intense there. Lyrics breakdown for it would be amazing and mind blowing. Same goes with their other English version of their songs. It also hits different

usualy when they make songs about being gay they make it so fun and playful as if it's the reality. what I love about this song is that it actually represents the true torture of being gay and rejected by the world and Soyeon did a very good job of nailing that concept

So glad you are reactiong to this one! I think I mention this one in a previous comment, maybe, not sure. It's a great song and MV!

This Song is probably the deepest Title Track from them. From now on it‘s getting lighter 😀

I think this is my 8th or 9th video since I started binge watching your channel minutes ago. With that being said, you are a hidden gem here man! You get the lyrics, the depth, the genius behind the videos and the intention of the artists. You are doing great, glad I found you. New subscriber here, soon to be a Patreon. BTW I'm so glad you are in awe with G-Idle. Next in your list should be Hwaa. If I may, please react to Big Bang and Super Junior.

I love the first person who has realized this as a queer love story. Thanks so much!

Subscribed ❤ because You are the first 'male' reactor who got and accepted the real meaning of this legendary song rather than denying the FACT that it's all about lesbian forbidden love and stuffs ... Love your genuine reaction 😘

Man, your analysis made me understand it better and watching the last part with Minnie made me cry... thank you for this deep analysis, now I understood what Soyeon was thinking when writing the song and why the intro and outro were so important for the whole song. I loved the song since the first time I've heard it, especially the Minnie's parts, but now I feel the song, thank you again.

Please more G-idle reaction!! Songs of G-idle 1)LATATA 2)UH-OH 3)SENORITA 4)HAAN 5)HWAA 6)PUT IT STRAIGHT(QUEENDOM) 7)DUMDI DUMDI SOLO SONGS BY G-IDLE 1)SOYEON-BEAM BEAM(MINI ALBUM) 2)YUQI-BONNIE AND CLYDE(sry not sure of the spelling) 3)YUQI-GIANT ETC😂 I WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU REACTING TO THESE SONGS

Yes these girls are fantastic And made their songs and concept themselves fantastically Thank you for your reaction video

this is the best interpretation i've seen for this song yet, I think this is absolutely what Soeyon intended, god job man 👏

de verdad eres un gran analista de letras y muestras que el kpop tiene mucho más contenido de lo que parece. gracias por tus análisis.

I still consider this to be in the top 10, maybe top 5 best girl group music videos ever. And I’ve seen a LOT of incredible music videos

I like your interpretation of the song! Most fans interpret it in this same "forbidden love" way, but the other meaning to this song is accepting your other self, even if that other self is not as pure or innocent or clean as you'd like to be. Sort of like accepting the "evil" side of yourself, because in that way you're more whole, you're more complete, and you're more you. The title of this EP is "I Trust" and this song is sort of saying "I trust myself, all parts of myself, even the parts I don't exactly like."

The soyeon in the mud part to me is like a " rebirth " thing. Could be wrong tho

Truly enjoyed the reaction. I appreciate the editing to keep your thoughts and hypothesis concise and to the point, cant imagine the time that took with even tiny edits. Also very much appreciate you taking the time to go through the lyrics and forming this narrative while also experiencing the song and the video. Just had to say that, I know it took a lot of effort. Enjoyed every minute of this thank you.

She made this song and her album 'I Trust' bro, Only Soyeon did it, She made a mini album all by herself and is the first and only female idol to do it

I appreciate your commentary. You've pointed out some points I missed. I think you should check out Gidle Hwa as well. I think Gidle does a great job telling a story in their songs and owning their concepts.

I'll always love me some genius Soyeon.

i love jour interpretation! i think that the red substance might signify rebirth? like she accepted her fate and is reborn after accepting the sin

If you only take into account the lyrics of the song, it's very easy to believe that the song is about a relationship between two women! However the interpretation must be done with both the video (which is extremely full of symbolism) and the lyrics! The video is just about temptation and about corrupting the divine! Note: They only changed the male to the female! Minnie - At the beginning of the song it shows the first angel being corrupted, touching the transparent gel means purity and the change in color to red represents sin! So much so that at the end of the video it shows her with black hands! Sooyon - The one with short hair. First corrupted angel! Yuki - The Angel who guards the heavenly gates, has a little glimmer of temptation (Demon) and lets his guard down! Meyeon - God on his throne, in the second verse shows the fall of God due to the failure of the one who guarded the heavenly gates! Soojin - Demon (Temptation) the purple satin ribbons represent chains where the entity was trapped and ends up coming loose... Note, the weather in the celestial realm changes to dark and purple, the background shows servants dressed in black as if they were consecrating the ascension of their God, Demon the attention. Shurua - Rise of a New God and His Fall! Part where she appears in a big white dress. Final - All the angels in limbo carrying their crosses for their sins! Well, explaining in a shorter way!

The most relatable songs to a lot of people

This group is such an experience, hope you enjoy their work and check out Dreamcatcher too :)

the teaser of this MV summarizes it all, check it out.

Very articulate. Loved it. one of the best i've had the pleasure to listen to.

This is one of my ALL time fave songs! So glad you reacted to it & loved it so much. It truly blew my mind. Yuqi has a great song/MV called “Bonnie & Clyde. I also think you’d enjoy Sunmi’s music. She has an interesting voice & aesthetic & there’s always some dark element to even her peppiest songs. Her videos are also something. So many things. Especially “Noir” & “Siren.”

Ur so ACCURATE

i love how you are explaining the whole lore of the song, knowing from actually 20+ seconds whats going on (+ chorus), you're the only one that doesnt just react to the music, animation or dance or even singing, you react to everything and the best plus in that is that you want to know what is going on not just listen to the song. Favourite reactor so far

That was a perfect breakdown.

Your reaction is everything.

React to soyeon beam beam

This song is so special. LGBT is forbidden in Korea still, being openly same sex attracted is totally taboo and career ruining still in Korea so even talking about it in a song and giving that representation to people who feel that way like Soyeon did has my utmost respect. A lot of people tried to deny it was about lgbt, but it is imho extremely, extremely clear. Soyeon said it is about self love and trust (she would never be allowed to explicitly say unfortunately) and I mean, you have to love and trust your instincts and what you want to overcome prejudice of bigots, culture and religion so I see how that applies. I agree with your interpretation, it has another entire layer too: I see the white room as the place between heaven and hell, purgatory. Minnie is being dragging there for her "sin" at the start waiting to be judged and ends up in hell (the red mud scenes) at the end. Strong suicide imagery with her and as you said, she has guilt and it gets to her unlike Soyeon. Soyeon is there at first too, dancing around clearly not worrying about the consequences of hell to come. Yuqi I believe is an untainted Angel at first walking through the corridors of heaven (everything is golden) After she sees Miyeon (who may represent and angel or God imho up on her pedestal) she falls for her, spills the goblet of wine which you see going down to "hell" for the first chorus. Yuqi has now been tainted by the sin of falling for a woman. Miyeon casts her arm out a bit later and we see Yuqi falling down presumably to hell. Miyeon has cast her out of heaven. We later see Yuqi with dark devil- like make up showing us she has been corrupted. Soojin is the main temptress (she said in a behind the scenes video that she was the devil there to seduce the girls also you see a frame of her holding the apple of temptation) and we see her luring Shuhua who may possibly be an angel as she is all in white on the pedestal when we see her. I see Minnie as a representation of someone that was tortured by her attraction and sadly pays homage to those who do take their own lives, I see Soyeon as someone that is fine with it being considered a sin as the love is too great, she has to be herself no matter what anyone says or the consequences. Some more interesting imagery is at the end when they are all in black dancing on the pedestals with people holding up what seems to be crosses beneath them. To me this may be saying that even though they in hell, they are free of all the prejudice and bigotry beneath them. To further drive it home, Soojin has rainbow lights flashing during her scenes. The intention is very clear. There was also a teaser clip before the song released posted with Minnie directly addressing God saying she rejects God's salvation so she can be out of her prison and free. She is free of the shackles of religion holding her back (which was Soyeon's arc in the video) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hbpdo7SavNrDcWQ.html This is genuinely the deepest and most interesting kpop song i've ever heard and the fact that it was in Soyeon's mind is mind blowing. I don't know what will ever top this to be honest.

This song and mv always gives me goosebumps. Your evaluation on this really was amazing and made me tear up a bit. The story is so beautifully tragic. It really makes me appreciate Soyeon as the amazing writer and artist that she is.

Dont know if you saw it but in the Soojin part the light actually flicker in all the colors of the rainbow.

I watch reaction channels just for this drop with my Girls. Seriously, they are the epitome of talent.

I love how he explained everything or whatevahh and let my brian cells know what is actually happening in the mv🦎 new subscriber btw

If you liked this you absolutely have to watch (G)I-DLE's Put It Straight Queendom performance. Don't let the word performance fool you it's basically a music video and it's just as amazingly done, but then live.

Ahh Soojin ! The temptress ! Her Lilith representation still gets to mee!! The apple holding scene..ahhh💙

I really like the depth of your breakdowns. Do consider reacting to KDA’s Popstars which has both Soyeon and Miyeon in a full CGI M/V.

Fun fact Oh my god never failerd me every time I suggested it to others they fell in love with it I never told anyone but this was too dark that made me cry when I first whatched it and I dont cry easy

you should react the english version of oh my god to

This is great reaction and breakdown, thank you! For me, Minnie`s death scene feels almost like a reborn. It could represent not a physical death, but her old self death, and building a new personality instead. Pure white world was driving her crazy, because it was not what she wanted and she didn`t really fit in. It looks like she finally accepts herself as a "sinner", kills this unhappy personality and resurrects as a "fallen angel" to embrace her true self.

Good reaction and analysis.

The edits lmao 😂

gran reacción, ya perdí la cuenta de cuanto la he visto. muy completo análisis

Now we want dumdi dumdi hwaa latata and hann

Idk if this was their first song but it was first time hearing any song from and honestly I was fucked up too. It was so good 💜. A recommendation :Try BTS Blood Sweat and tears

sojeon es una artista total.

the glitches, the glitches!

Your reading comprehension is worth my typing......

Now you need to watch Hwaa and Hann (alone)

I saw this theory that Miyeon is God and Soojin is the Devil and it makes so much sense!

(G)I-DLE💖💖💖💖💖💖 Great 😁👍

(G)IDLE is one of my top 3 girls group from the last génération of kpop group the 4th gen with IZ*ONE and AESPA .even if now 2 new very talented group from big agency as made they're debut this year IVE and KEP1ER big potential . (G)IDLE as a big advantage they're leader JEON SOYEON she's one of the very rare female idol who can do eveything related to music she can sing pretty well , she's the best female rapper in kpop today ,she can dance ,wrote songs , compose music , produce , lead the group play some instrument and she's pretty .she's to me the perfect idol after 18 year into the kpop world i only see maybe 15 girls like her in this industry . usualy an idol is great if she can do 2 or 3 of this thing most of the time SING and dance is enough but now all idol are very talented they broke they're limit every time .but this group as many amazing talented girls fro m korea and CHINA one of the best is YUQI one of the chinese members she look very young and precious but she as a very deep voice she's also a genius i mean a really smart girl she's graduate from the best school from china and she's one of the top 10 student of the country . like BLACKPINK LISA she can speak 4 or 5 language . but the group had a very bad 2021 year one of the members SOOJIN leave the group after an bully scandal .

Great video. React to PTT of Loona please

I love your reactions and soojin is the temptation

I think there’s another mv for this song i think it is in Japanese so I will really like it if you could react to that one as well

I have respect for time your reaction . When music video is real between hell and heaven . God is love only one and religion is only one Not hate , abuse , drugs

i mean, the song can even be interpreted as music or inner demons or lgbt ect etc :) Soyeon said you can enterpret it how you want, so...lol

I dont know about the lyrics and the story before!! So interesting!! good job!!! / can you react to WayV mv please? Their style is not a joke. Take off, moonwalk, love talk, turn back time, kick back those songs are really cool!!

Great 👍

React to HyunA i'm not cool mv HyunA good girl mv HyunA&Dawn ping pong mv , please

Pls react to Monsta X !!! Song recommendations: "Shoot out" "Love killa" "gambler" "rush hour" and their latest album "The Dreaming"

Great way of seeing this. I'll take this opportunity to divulge that in my religion, woman loving another woman is not a sin. Bible does not forbid it.

I'm so happy that you did this and was just as impressed with it as I was after watching it the first time (and still am, no matter how often I watch it). Even if you scrap all of the lyrics and the music, the video itself is a masterpiece! Add on all the deep lyrics and that sick drop into the chorus..it's just WOW. I really like that it's open to interpretation on what the song means. Many think as you and I do, that it's speaking of forbidden love and "sin". I just love that it's in a KPop song - an area of the world where it's still very taboo to tackle such things, but these girls did it was such beauty and angst. I'd say the only thing that you missed, that I've noticed is going into that 2nd chorus Soojin's purple ties/ropes break free and it's kind of like her just saying F It, I am who I am and if it's a sin, let it be sin. (in my view at least). Thank you again for doing this reaction!!

Really luv your reactions I would recommend Put It Straight and the Nightmare version on it as well :) Anyways Idk if you don't know thrir names but there is Miyeon and Shuhua and Yugi(you shouldn't really say the Y :)

you should react to billlie RingXRing i bet you'll love it!

Gidle ❤❤❤❤❤❤Soojin 😥

Love your reactions! Now you've listened to BiBi and Soyeon, could you maybe react to 'Is this bad b**** number' by Soyeon ft BIBI & Lee Youngji? 🙏🏼

Qbout checkibg out other artists I would recommend SUNMI and CHUNGHA and HyunA all soloists and women on the male soloists WONHO and Jackson Wang

Can you please react to Ice Cream with (Blackpink and Selena Gomez)

Hi i really love your reaction. Can you please check out AleXa? Shes an american kpop soloist with great style of music. 💯

20:47 could you stop saying "according to that culture and religion" :") she meant it globally. Even because i know what you're reffering to and that's not it boy; she's christian, she has literally said it and wears crosses everywhere she goes. The point of the song is "whatever people are saying, believe in what you want, cause if it makes you feel good then that's not a sin". That's why she's praying to god in the middle of the song and in the chorus...it's a prayer in which she says that she knows it's not a sin since she's feeling so tempted to something she feels good and pure with. And god could never punish her for pureness

Best drop in 2021 tbh

Pls react to (G)I-DLE - PUT IT STRAIGHT nightmare ver on Qeendom

Reaction to TXT pls,they're a boyband using the rock genre a lot

-Pause- The music video had religious undertones and you can clearly see it piece by piece I mean, come on

Soojin is the devil…the other girls are angels and on the second verse Yugi’s makeup shows her corruption. At the end. U have to watch closely. Shushua turns into soyeon. So is there a connect between soojin and soyeon. ???? If u watch the making of oh my god it is explained by soyeon. And not ur fabrication. And. The message is strong but soyeon left the interpretation open to an addiction. The forbidden fruit. Did u see the white apple?
