Shame nobody told you that Hann (Alone), Hann (Alone in Winter) and Hwaa form a trilogy.

fun fact: the whistle is done by minnie 😍🫶🏻

Hwaa can mean both 'fire' and 'flower' depending on the chinese character! Hann (Alone), Hann (Alone in the Winter) and Hwaa are a trilogy about a break-up (or other kindof separation, but mainly break-up), where Hann has kind of a bitter feeling, Hann (AitW) is about the loneliness and a coldness of being now alone, whereas in Hwaa they "set a fire" in the cold, and from that "a new flower blooms" and the speakers spring comes. Kind of a common theme in most of gidle songs that the lyrics seem poetic but confusing at a first glance but when you start to actually analyze (or just watch Soyeon's interviews haha) there's a lot of meaning! Especially later on, like with Tomboy or Nxde I could probably write like a 10-page analysis lol

Hwaa was my favorite song by (G)I-dle for a long time. When it comes to tittle tracks it’s still my favorite, the MV is gorgeous 💜

Soyeon was the one at the beginning of "Dumdi Dumdi" who you were saying is beautiful. Before (G)I-dle, when she was around 17 y/o she was on a couple competition shows where she was known for her rapping and producing skills. She wanted to become an idol and Korean viewers said she was talented but too ugly to be an idol. Can you believe that? Korean society has some very specific beauty standards. Soyeon was hurt and saddened but thankfully she didn't give up her dream.

girl with the deep voice is Yuqi . You need to listen her solo songs and covers.She is not even my bias but her voice is my favourite .

Soojin is the one who attracts me the most, starting to miss her, her lines are always iconic.

"Hwaa" is probably my fave of theirs.

Young Ji is the girl who hosts the show where idols go to her house and she interviews them drunk 😂

Beware the essay! :D Hann and Hwaa are parts of a trilogy of songs. It starts with Hann in 2018, continues with another song ALSO called Hann that is on the same album as Hwaa (I Burn; though this newer Hann sadly does not have an MV), and flows into Hwaa. The thing you need to know about is what "han" is first: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_(cultural) "Han is frequently translated as sorrow, spite, rancor, regret, resentment or grief, among many other attempts to explain a concept that has no English equivalent." But the same pronunciation also has other meanings as well. The 2018 Hann is originally named 한(一), where the Chinese character in parentheses gives the intended alternate meaning: "one". The song sings about getting over an ex who hurt you: "I erase your trace in my bruised heart", and the MV styling is a desert. This is why the English translation is "Hann (Alone)". The second Hann, on this album, is titled 한(寒); here, the Chinese character says "cold" (with the English translation "Hann (Alone in Winter)". The lyrics there are about feeling as if your heart is frozen, realising that you were lying to yourself about erasing the ex from the memory, knowing that you still think of them every single day, and you wonder if the winter in your heart will ever turn to spring. Here's where Hwaa comes in, with its multiple meanings, again explicitly stated in Chinese characters: 화(火花). Both characters are pronounced "hwa" in Korean. The first means "fire", but is also used metaphorically for "anger" ("I am angry" is literally translated as "fire is coming out"). The second is "flower". The combination of the two characters ("fire flower") means "spark" in Chinese and Japanese (pronounced "huǒhuā" and "hibana", respectively), though it is not used in Korean (but if you replace the Chinese characters with native korean words, you get 불꽃 "bulkkot", a word for "fireworks", which was Soyeon's hope for this song's impact - this meaning is present in Japanese and Chinese as well, but the characters are reversed: 花火 "hanabi" and "huāhuǒ"). The song uses all of these meanings: wanting to spark up the fires of anger to burn up the leftover resentment ("han"), and warm up the heart so flowers of new love can blossom again. Super cool, super deep, in the way how all the wordplay about "han" and "hwa" was used. And it's not the end either: Soyeon and Minnie said that Moon was postponed to be on this album, because it matches the mood, as you look at the sky and... feel. The rest of the songs are also meaningful in their own place in the album. In Miyeon's words, "We tried to express this album as cold winter, hot fire and beautiful but stinging flowers. It also has the meaning of overcoming the scars of separation and being in full bloom again.” Hwaa was also translated into English. Soyeon said they paid special attention with the British songwriter Phildel to make sure the English version captures the exact same feelings like the original. One of the very few English translations in Kpop I wholeheartedly recommend.

Lee Young Ji had the first verse, she's the tallest one and had the Pink hair. She was only nineteen years old here but had already previously proven herself to be able to hold her own in underground rap competitions. She's a BEAST. She also had a cameo in one other Soyeon song/ MV called Beam Beam (from her solo album called Windy). Young Ji also recently has had a show at her own apartment where she will invite one or two guests and they drink alcohol while Young Ji interviews them. That could be where you have seen her before. Soloists, guys from boy groups, ladies from girl groups, doesn't matter, she has interviewed several people. Girl group Twice member Chaeyoung did some artwork for Young Ji's channel, while having that first interview and drinking. The art was REALLY cute so Young Ji kept it and used it with Chaeyoung's full permission. Chae came back in the second season of Young Ji's show and brought fellow member Nayeon along. That video really blew up with reactors. For some reason, Season One of Young Ji's show is on one YT channel and Season Two is on a completely different (but similarly named) channel...both belong to Young Ji, though. It's really confusing to me. So, look up Young Ji No Prepare and name off a guest, and then look up Young Ji Absolutely No Prepare, and name off a guest. :)

Hwaa is still my all time favorite gidle comeback and it was their last comeback with Soojin. Jeez I miss her so much. Also the girls themselves are confused about what they want to be called istg lmao. When the introduce themselves in English they say “Hi we’re (G)I-DLE!” but when they introduce themselves in Korean they say (translated) “We are IDLE” dropping the Korean word for woman. But when they are introduced in Korea they called them by their full name “Yeo-ja Idle” ?? And then during the Tomboy comeback they insisted on being called just Idle and asked fans not to say the G. Then suddenly in Nxde era the G came back. So I’ve officially deduced that it does NOT MATTER. Even though some fans will bite your head off for saying the G.

their discography is very unique and self-made, not to mention their vocals as well, that's why theyre my fav group

Every song you hear from latata till is this bad b****** number? Its all soyeons(leader of G-idle) composed songs.She wrote every song in every album they release even the concepts and such.Shes trully talented and even a good rapper.Shes basically the core of the group that creates good songs that the general public and fans like.She also writes song for other groups

listen i still remember being introduced to So Yeon on Unpretty Rapstar 3 when she was 17 years old and the way they censored her rap but showed EVERYBODY'S reaction. HILARIOUS. Man she was bold and talented. lol

Hwaa is from “I Burn” which is an unskipable EP. Every track is fire, not even kidding or making a joke. Also, the English version of Hwaa is pretty amazing!

we don't talk enough how beautiful Hwaa is

HWAA's song title has the chinese characters 花 (huā) and 火 (huǒ) wich mean flower and fire. Because of the similarity, they play with these two meanings in HWAA, at first because they sing about a relationship that ended and they use fire to burn it or get warm (I don't remember exactly) and then it grows a red flower from that past relationship (that's why at the end HWAA is translated as flower and not fire). Along the whole song they mention fire-cold-winter and flowers-blossoms. This song is also in english and chinese; you should check out the english version! (For me, gi-dle's english versions are the less awkward).

lol I love your reaction to Hwaa being so short: "Wait what? That's it?!" EVERY reactor agree that song ends too quickly. ;)

Hwaa is my favorite from G-idle. Young Ji does a variety show where idol come and they drink. She last one she did was with Jin.

Thank you for showing so much appreciation for our girls. I love your calm and critical analysis of the MVs. You're spot on when it comes to IDLE's concept/ sound-hopping. It's owed to Soyeon journey as a writer and producer. She is simply evolving with her art and we get to witness it through different songs 😊 Hwaa is the analogy of finding love(fire) again after heartbreak, which is why the imagery is all icy at the beginning, thawing/ flowering later.

Minnie did the whistle in both songs Hann and dumdi dumdi

you need to React to Yuqi's solo A Page . Bonnie and clyde and Giant Mv

His reactions to their MVs and dances is my reaction to their existence

You should include "put it straight" nightmare version. It is EPIC

Since you liked the more melancholic songs then you should watch "Put it straight" lyric video followed by the remix nightmare version "Put it straight" Queendom performance. Beautiful sad song (the original) then beautiful scary song with an amazing performance with the nightmare version.

I think Hann (한)(一) means one of something (original from 하나 ) Hwaa(화)(火/花) means flower and fire/flame

Este grupo es fascinante, me encanta todo lo que tenga que ver con (G)I-DLE por ser tan diferente 💜

I know the entire discography of (g)i-dle, and still I can say that hann (alone) and hwaa are my absolute favourite tracks by them TT although I'm sure I love almost everything by them XD

thank you so much for reacting to gidle!!! ❤ happy holiday! btw 21:26 its Lee Youngji. Shes a rapper

Rj never disappoints giving us good video after good video! Another great song is Bonnie and Clyde by Yuqi, she is one of the G(idle) members. Can’t wait for your next video! 🫶🫶🫶

Oh so glad that you react to HWAA. That is the most fav song of mine. I've just checked your previous videos about gidle reaction today and now you posted the new one with HWAA. thank you for your reaction to this group.

Rj you don't know how much we are missing soojin😭

you should react to g idle’s solo stuff since you listened to is this bad bitch number! - react to beam beam (soyeon again), bonnie & clyde (yuqi), miyeon has a bunch of random songs that honestly you could choose any 😭, saying hello (minnie) :) soyeon & miyeon are also in the league of legends group named K/DA which i don’t remember if you have reacted to before off the top of my head, but if you haven’t please do so! POP/STARS, The Baddest, & More are the songs with soyeon & miyeon on :) thanks for the reactions as always !

It’s time for you to take a deep dive into BiBi. You’re not gonna be disappointed. One of my favorite artists.

You should also check out yuqis solo song Bonnie and Clyde!

Your reaction to the ending of HWAA was the same as mine when I first heard it too LOL. Hann/Hwaa trilogy is such an amazing concept! Soyeon is a genius. Props to Yuqi for producing the chinese ver. of Hwaa also. Soyeon is always her because she's the lead/producer/writer and yes I agree! DUMDi DUMDi is such a great summer song.

Soyeon = smol bean captain

I would recommend to check out their mini album I Burn, it's one of my fav. I'm sure you're going to like it ( also HWAA the song that you loved sm is from that album)

Thanks for the reaction HWAA means both Fire and Flower (Chinese character in parentheses) this song is about lighting a fire to melt the long winter (frozen feelings state after a breakup) to let a new flower born (new spring) HANN means Alone (kind of, not the literal translation) this song is about a clean breakup, the lyrics of the song are inspired by a poem HWAA is the continuation of HANN, more exactly: - HANN (Alone) 2018: clean break up, the narrator cut of the ex with no remaining feeling - HANN (alone in winter) 2021 bside of I BURN album: the narrator still has feeling for their ex and can't move on, like frozen in a long winter - HWAA (fire flower) 2021 title track (and 2nd track after HANN alone in winter) of I BURN album: the narrator want to move on, burn the remaining feeling to reborn anew, melt the long winter to let a new spring comes Dumdi Dumdi is actually about the summer of a person (20ish) when everything is burning in passion, the song is a memento for the years to come, when the narrator becomes more old less passionate, to remind the summer days with happy nostalgia to move on when times are not so bright (Minnie bridge) Is this bad b*** number has been composed and written by Soyeon with the intention to featuring both BIBI and Lee Youngji (young hip hop rapper known through survival shows), then the both rappers came and brought their rap and insane performance

This is just making me miss Soojin even more! I hope she knows how much we love and miss her

You should definitely check out Bibi! She has some amazing songs and MV's!! Love the (G)-Idle content!

I love Hann (alone)! I hasn’t heard it in awhile. So beautiful. 💜💜

I am LOVING how much you love Soyeon!!!! Your reactions are my reactions as a Soyeon bias who is also very gay for her :'D It's just sooo gratifying to hear and see someone go so crazy for Soyeon and call her beautiful so enthusiastically when she used to get so much hate from Korean netizens for being "ugly" :( I think she's beautiful too and there's just something about her CHARISMA and VIBE that makes me feel a little feral - you're clearly feeling it too!! Just love your reactions :D

Idk why and how to explain it, but just like their fandom name, "Neverland", they give me a vibe of peter pan and/or (the old) fairy tales.

You might’ve seen Lee Youngji if you have seen that show that had idols like Jin, Hoshi, and Soobin in an apartment drinking alcohol. She’s the host of that

Yeah i was like you when i watched b b number for the first time : speechless 😁😁

"Your prob right" SO REAL

Gidle queen 🔥🔥🔥

More (G)idle reactions please!

your shocked expression throughout the whole Is this bad b****** number? mv is so funny XD but honestly samee

Bruh, BiBi is f@@king savage!!! Her new videos are epic!!! Be warned can be a bit graphic. Check out “Blade”, “Jotto”, “Animal Farm” and “Vengeance”, you’ll see.

its Hwaa lyrics for me tho so poetic I love it.

I love watching your reactions! And I also enjoy the mvs! :) As a neverland

Love your reactions! Can't wait to see what you've got coming for us next

Hwaa in Chinese means “flower” in corean means “ fire”

The way I see Hwa's meaning is mostly flower, and the reason why they may have chosen to use the theme of winter and snow in this is that the first flower to bloom in spring is literally called Snowdrop (Galanthus nivalis) and it is often poking out above the snow as early as January or February. So taking this into consideration, a snow flower could be appropriate for the mv, the girls act as the flower part as we see them gracing the snowy parts of the sets. Imagine being this kind of flower, the passion, energy and strive it is needed to be the first one to bloom during snow is the same as wanting to move on from a breakup or separation. We can all see how profound the meaning of Hwa is and it's one of the things I truly love about the song and (G)-Idle in general.

Great 👍 more (G)I-DLE 🔥

The rapper in is this bad b number is called "YOUNGJI" she was born in 2004, she's only 18 right now. Winner of Highschool Rapper and now joining SMTM11

you should definitely check out bibi, she has sick beats, mvs, vocals, raps and lyrics. definitely my favorite solo, really talented. she touches some deep topics in her lyrics and she visually displays it in her mvs.

“You probably right 😮” 😭💀😂

soyeon IS so beautiful you’re so right 😩

Now u need to react to their solo project

Love your reaction!! Please react to their albums, especially "I Burn" and "I never die". Their b-sides never miss...

Here agaaaaaain hahaha Glad 2 see u, merry Christmas 🤙

A guide next

,,Hwaa" it's my favorite song from them and this song is completely in Korean and i think Chinese is in this ( from what i heard )and not a single word in English ( witch it's very very rare in kpop without a single word in English)

you need to react to dont stop me, dahlia, moon or i'm the trend 🙏🏻 cool reaction tho ✨

IM CRYING 😭 “ youre probably right”

You will never go wrong with G-Idle 😉💖

yeah the pink hair girl in the last song is youngji is a rapper and comedian, has an intervie show when she invites idols to drink. Plz react to her and jin of BTS or hoshi

Young Ji has a famous show on youtube. Jin went there recently. I dont know if you watched that. The drunk girl😅. She is a good rapper too. Also i suggest to check out Bibi too. Her music is so good.

you better check their funny compilation they're literally the female ver. of BTOB 😆

fun fact: the whistling in hann(alone) is minnie!!

I know you already did a TWICE guide video but there is a much updated one that is super useful, and samples clips from their shows and some songs. It's from MinguinMina (the YT channel name) and it's over 58 minutes long but trust me, It's the most well put together guide I have even seen and you'll definitely learn a lot about twice and the members so much more

if you like more melancholic songs, i recommend you to watch their performance of put it straight in queendom! that was the nail to the coffin for me tbh got sucked right into the idle rabbit hole after watching that

The first song I actually remember listening to from G Idle is dumdi dumdi and boy was I not ready for what I was getting into, on the BEST way. I still listen to HWAA constantly to this day because it's such a good song (even tho they gave Shuhua like 3 words). And I think that was Soojin's last comeback💔 This is my first time hearing ITBBN and honestly they went off. The are the women who challenge the stereotype for women in music in Korea. You should watch/listen to BiBi Vengence and Animal Farm. They're honestly gorgeous/badass songs that I think you'll enjoy. She challenges all of those stereotypes and standards in both of these songs. The storyline of the videos makes them 10 × better too. (Little bit of a warning for Animal Farm tho, fake blood, weapons. I Without spoiling too much, it's kind of like am action movie.)

Do check out BIBI’s latest album and the bsides MVs!! I’m sure you’ll like them😩💕

While it's risky to react to (Korean TV hits hard on ©) WATCH MNET's "Good Girl (Who Robbed the Broadcaster)" competition show. That where I first saw Lee Youngji, and the other seven idols she was teamed with (including Ailee, SNSD Hyoyeon, KARD Jiwoo, and CLC Yeeun) all absolutely knocked it out of the park.

you can also consider reacting to bibi!! her latest mvs are definitely worth watching, vengeance, jotto and animal farm

I'd love to see your reaction to "Put it Straight" halloween choreo video :D (I would say the Mnet performance, but apparently a lot of people get blocked trying to watch that so I don't want to put your channel at risk)

I know you're probably not gonna see this but you should react to Minnie's thai cover of Hwaa that she did 🙃. She doesn't cover the full thing but it's still so beautiful

Hey RJ! I bet that you know Young Ji from her no prepare show where she had Chaeyoung as a guest!

❤

Hey since you seems to really like Soyeon i would recommend you reacting to Soyeon on "Sketchbook" especially her Lion solo performance and her cover of "It rained all day"

bibi is unique. Especially 'animal farm'

ITS OKAY! YOURE A SOYEON BIAS! ITS OKAY ACCEPT IT LOL

Please you should react to BIBI, she's my queen 😭

Hwaa is purely sung in Korean. My personal favourite.

15:11 IRL blushing

He should really react to Yuqi singing her solos Bonnie & Clyde and Giant

You absolutely need to check out BIBI ! Her most recent album Lowlife Princess: Noir has some great songs on it. And her music videos are absolutely crazy. Definitely give her a chance.

Soyeon is rap queen our k-pop industry

Oh you should def react to BiBi ! Songs like : Kazino, Animal Farm, Best Lover, Bibi Vengeance ! She's in her own zone, she's great 👍🏼

I find it funny people hate on G Idle for Hann and HWAA being "similar" but have no issues with BP having the same song title track basically for 5 years 💀😂 Also I love BIBI and Lee yeong ji... Soloist or featuring they ALWAYS deliver... ASH B girls back home ft Lee yeong ji is wicked. ASH B is a wicked artist btw if haven't seen her. Don't have to react but I suggest checking her out. Part time, money also bangers. Also alot of reactors I have seen find it weird she say bring bring ring ring ding ding as though she just bad at English... She is making telephone noises. It baffles me other reactors don't realize that 💀💀😂

Lee young ji Queen 👸

I really miss my bias SOOJIN 😢

Every one whipped for soyeon😂❤

PLEASE DO A REVIEW OF BIBI , HER MUSIC IS SO GOOD AND UNDERATED

Yuqi
