"They are a group not restricted by their gender." LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK

As PD said,(G)I-DLE has no specially concept of their music,they're not girl crush/cute/sexy......they just do what they want to do.

We're not gonna talk about Yuqi looking like Kim Possible? *That* was a *look*

I was slightly triggered PD talked over Shuhua’s lines but I will let it pass because this is a bop and PD is an intellectual

I think if more companies let their female artists make their own music like they let boygroups do, we would have more girl groups like (G)I-dle. I do believe a huge part of why (G)I-dle sounds so gender neutral is because they are a lot more heavily involved in music production. they make music they want to make, not "music for a girl group with concept X"

I love how they've shown people with skin darker than white, some on the heavier side, even one girl's belly rolls... It's somehow so positive and Im happy they're slowly starting to be so open in kpop!

That awesome scene with Soyeon and the burning mic? It's an homage to one of the all time greats - Rakim Allah. The whole video's general feel is reminiscent of his '99 masterpiece "When I B on tha Mic", produced by DJ Premier, but that scene is basically identical to the original. And as someone who grew up on the Wu-Tang Clan, Mobb Deep, M.O.P, Public Enemy, and indeed Eric B. and Rakim, that's so amazing to me that 20 years later, a phenomenal young emcee in my hometown of Seoul by the name of Jeon Soyeon would pay homage to one of the greatest emcees to ever live. I have a strong feeling that in 20 years, people will be making music and music videos inspired by her.

Cube being a somewhat decent company for once and giving Gidle and CLC comebacks fast 😂

“Pushing gender boundaries” was spot on! This is very much like a boy group video just with girls. I can imagine a boy group doing this exactly.

"This music video is dripping with ATTITUDE and STYLE" --- agree!!! 😍🙌

I think G-Idle have a really great potential, as a (young) KPOP group among the others and also as a girl group in a close minded and sexist country/industry. They show they can do anything they want with lots of charisma and presence.

Underground clubs is such a 2000's hip hop and pop thing

They're really so successful and their desire to produce new genre musics make me more into them. They can pull off every concept.

I’m glad that PD appreciated the hip hop influence in this song. I feel like this song and other modern K-Pop songs like it (EXID’s Lady) don’t get as much hype or appreciation, mostly because the composition and structure of the music isn’t very complex, the same beat/melody is maintained throughout, stuff like that. But regardless of your personal preference for or against old school hip-hop, you have to appreciate the respect and attention to detail given to hip-hop culture in this song and MV. It seems like the members and producers (both music and video) genuinely respect and embrace hip-hop culture and aren’t just making a “themed” or “inspired” song/MV. I imagine you can give a lot of credit to Soyeon for that. Songs like this are certainly risky to make for female groups, EXID certainly didn’t get a lot of love for Lady when it released (compared it to their comebacks before/after). I imagine this has a lot to do with what PD mentions in the video, that this genre and hip-hop culture in general doesn’t really fit the “feminine mold” that is expected of women in Korea. As PD says, it breaks gender boundaries and pushes well past the “girl crush” concept in terms of how “unflattering” some of the movements, clothing, and language might be seen as. (Shoutout to the girls with tattoos btw!) I could go on and on about my appreciation for G-IDLE and how great this song is but I’m gonna stop here. Long story short, I’m super impressed by this comeback, I love it, and I’m glad to see PD does too. Cheers!

They are one of the few groups that I love every song just by the first listen. Their style is simply amazing, and they really deserve more visibility!

EXID & (G)I-DLE kill these concepts 🔥🔥🔥

I love how positive this comment section is. Very wholesome. Y'all better do your best to stream!

As you said the whole concept is fantastic. They really can portrait anything style. So much versatility.

You simply do not just pause at Minnie's close up lip shot and not SCREAAAAM

I'm so excited to see everything Soyeon comes up with in the future

As soon as I heard this song it was just one big YES

(g)i-dle is amazing. they have a very distinct music and dance style. the first thing i noticed about them is the choreo. it isn’t the typical girl group choreo, like they’re more fluid. the music too, everything is a bop. i love how they switch lines around the members. uh-oh is such a different but strong entry in their discography. i love that it is inspired by the early 2000’s, and they look like bratz dolls, which i really love.

"Uploaded 11 seconds ago", I never clicked so fast in my life lmao

This is my favourite song I've heard from them by far 😊

This is seriously one of my favorite kpop songs I've ever heard. THis is really a BOP.

OMG, You're so right about the angles and fashion, they really throw me back to my "hiphop-obsessed" childhood. The song is absolutely.......i don't even have words. Amazing I guess. MV is very vibey~~~. In my opinion this is the best Gidle comeback so far.

Soyeon (again) MADE this song. Produced and wrote by our queen 😊

THE THUMBNAIL SCARED ME SJSJSKKS

this song won me over latata and latata is my jam. this comeback is my favourite ♡♡

Bro! Did you notice the place where their were lots of graffiti? It was the same place where EXID filmed their "Lady" mv. And they had the same concept uwu

I just noticed they even did the crip walk which became popular back in the 90s. Incredible attention to detail of that era.

My favorite part is where Soyeon and Soojin had an exchange and ended with them singing at the same time I also liked how they made Miyeon do a buildup for Yuqi at the start and at the latter part gave Yuqi the build up part for Miyeon(the transition from Yuqi's slightly high tone to Miyeon's high tone was ❤️❤️)

The Thing with (G)i-dle is that it´s often really different to other k-pop, cause they are doing there own music all by them self. Self writing, self composing and own choreo. That´s why i feel like i get more into there songs, then other k-pop groups. And they are really good at what they are doing!

oh the girl who sang during the bridge was Minnie!

I always look forward to (G)I-DLE’s comebacks. I’ve enjoyed each and every of their title songs as well as their b-sides. These girls are legends in the making for sure.

PD: “Wow this is very different.” Me: *”Lol welcome to (g)-idle”*

Only intellectuals stan (g)i-dle 🤘🏻👀

Minnie bias wrecking us And i don’t even stan G-Idle (yet)

I think gidle concept is idle it self i mean idol can do many concept some of them do girl crush some of them do sexy some of them do cute but if you mix it all it become gidle the grup that can do all of idol concept

Soyeon is the best female rapper in Kpop right now, and I'm not sure its close

2:52 is soojin the main dancer 3:02 is miyeon the main vocalist 3:56 is shuhua the maknae & vocalist

Thank you so much for saying all this!! As soon as I heard the song I thought 'I've never seen a girl group go hip hop like this' and even a friend of mine who has been following kpop for over 10 years agreed. I'm so glad they did this concept, it truly suits them and it's by far the best girl group comeback I've ever seen. I can't wait to see where they go next.

i think their concept is to show the individuality of each member and show their oneness using that individuality

Shuhua( yes,u pronounced it right) is the one with the dyed bandana as her top..Miyeon is the one sitting on top of the truck..Minnie is the one with bangs...Hope u remember them now...

Yes ( G)-IDLE's so different group!

"I only have one word: breaking gender boundaries" PD, an intellectual, 2019

This is based on my personal taste, but this is my second favorite (G)-IDLE comeback so far. Hands down, it's second only to Señorita. Edit: Scratch that. UH OH IS OFFICIALLY MY FAVORITE (G)-IDLE SONG NOW

They have the boldness of a self produce artist that knows who they are and what they want 👀

Gidle has their attitude toward the music, which is the reason why I became a Neverland. These girls are just soooo talented. Their music has its own style and taste, that no one can copy from them.

The last part of the mv is really bruh. That flow is fire. I’m speechless. What a genius

Shuhua is the one singing on a car alone, Minnie is the one singing the bridge, Miyeon is the one singing on a truck alone and Soojin is the one that starts the song with Soyeon

I mean, we're all pretty aware of it at this point and none of the girls in IDLE slack but Soyeon is such a star. If you wanted to say she's the best rapper of her generation I would not stop you.

As someone who wasn’t a fan of senorita I was so happy that I love this song and they finally aren’t doing concepts like the others

Uh-oh is really my style. I really loved your reaction ..

fyi, Digipedi directed the MV! that’s why it looks so good!!!

my favorite song from them. the concept is really good. 💕💕

17:04 omg Yes “Step Up” thought I was the only one XD. first thing that literally came to my mind was a scene from step up. Lmao

❤️ (G) I-DLE's concept here. Agreed, the late '90s, to early '2000s vibe is strong in this video, so they might be starting a new edgy trend for girl groups.

Minnie = bridge Miyeon = wearing a black beret Soojin = the girl that sings with soyeon in the second verse Shuhua = Sitting on the car second verse wearing the bandana like a shirt

Gidle IS THE BEST GIRL GROUP OF THIS GENERATION!!!! No girl group can be superior them! Noone fights me with this FACT

Did anyone else notice that there is no male figure whatsoever in this video? And it is still fierce, edgy and powerful! You go girlsssss💜💪🏽

You need to see Minnie cover Of "Gravity". You will have an eargasm. She used that voice like here in the bridge. Also a tip to differentiate them: Shuhua is really pale and always have long black hair (because she likes to be natural), Miyeon has power vocals, often sings choruses & was part of K/DA with Soyeon and has delicate features, Minnie is tall (here she has bangs) and has this interesting tone, Soojin is the sexy one with sultry look & sweet high voice, a literal dance machine, often in the center. Yuqi & Soyeon you already know.

tbh the first thing this song reminded of me of was 90s hiphop tracks which made me love this more

This is the best song of Gidle no doubt about it, it's not my cup of tea , but I really enjoy it, I hope they keep this level of music, agree very cypress hill background music

I’ve been waiting for this coz ur the only reaction I trust

I loved everything you said in this video. I agreed. It captured everything perfectly ♡ Also in the part where you said it sounded hollowed out there's some drums in there (a knocking kind of sound) that I really like. Listen carefully and you'll hear it

Their 90's feel brings me back to my childhood, such nostalgia!

I was looking forward to that reaction!

People who weren't G Idle fans before watching PD's video and are now converted to G Idle fans, thanks to PD's smooth therapeutic voice. Awesome job!

I’ve realized after this comeback how much I’ve enjoyed these kind of girl groups. I know they’re not exactly similar, but mamamoo and g-(I)dle have been killing it for me lately (with a tentative everglow since they only have 2-3 songs). While I enjoy watching a lot of groups vids, (g)-idle (and mamamoo) have been producing music which I listen in my car every day. Great vid Pd

Soojin is the second girl after Soyeon, Miyeon is the one with white top and orange pants, Minnie is the one with the big white shirt with flames, and Shuhua is the one sitting on the car with the bandana tye dye shirt. They're all queens ❤️

in addition to this song and video being AMAZING, can we also talk about how they're one of the very few groups doing a hip hop "concept" entirely without cultural appropriation? since especially boygroups mess up in that department over and over again, but unfortunately girlgroups haven't been much better recently either, blackpink being like the number one culprit lmao

I love this song it's my favorite G idle track everything about it. the styling, the song, EVERYTHING

I'm proud to say that PD is my favorite person to keep up my English skills ~ Love and support from a French subscriber, you're the absolute best ~

YES. That is exactly why I'm obsessed with this song - it makes my 90s inner child so happy lol. And that strings background in the pre-chorus aaaaagh so good.

Kpop has always been like a "late 90s/early 2000s - 2.0" for me. It's not since a while back since it has actually become a trendsetter and drawn international producer talents and started to get traction internationally. Really like this track. This song feels like a tribute to the late 90s early 2000s when girl groups was the bomb in the west.

Just give them a time they'll be bigger than other gg.We cant denied the fact that they go beyond the usual kpop concept/song/vibe.Im so proud of them! Stan them since debut and never regret! Thank you PD!

I really loved this song and video and just the vibe it’s so good!! They really experiment with sounds and their voices that it’s just amazing!

thank you for this, a great analysis as always

I only really found you a couple of days ago but you're by far my favorite reactor. Love the way you dissect things and give your detailed opinion.

uh oh is a bop and that's it.

what you said about breaking gender roles is really spot on. i can imagine bunch of boy groups doing this same song with the same kinda music video. this really is gender neutral and its so cool!

Ayy glad we are on the same page with our analysis of the technical film making stuff, love your work :)

It's really not my style of music, but it's a fantastic song

I really think too that the fire on the mic is real fire. Do you remember how there was fire too on their Senorita MV, and Soyeon told she burnt some of her hair, and also on the BTS of the MV the FIRE IS REALLY REAL.

catching up on videos rn and holy SHIT. this has gotta be one of my favorite songs/mvs of the year!

i hated this song when it first came out but i think now it's growing on me... it's really different from their other stuff and i appreciate it

I'm so happy that you mentioned Step Up bc that was the first thing I though about! 90's and middle 00's Hip Hop had such a big influence for this song that it's so hard to not say this is my favorite (G)I-DLE song, even if I like LION so much. I can't imagine what they will bring to us this cb but I'm ready to die again and wait for the new TKS chapter with that album

You said Miyeon looked like Yuri in this, that's because in SNSD's Catch Me If You Can, they wore folded down orange jumpsuit-like pants with basic white tops.

i didn't expect this for summer comeback! 90's hip hop vibe well delivered with this music and MV my fav 2019's song so far.

I’ve been waiting for your video since yesterday!! Yaz

minnie is the one on the bridge when she was standing up, soojin the one in denim, shuhua has the pink top (and yes, it's pronounced as you said) and miyeon the one that you said that reminded you of yuri

Soyeon is a music genius

Ugh! Gidle is such a breath of fresh air. I haven’t seen a group this naturally swaggy/charismatic in a long time.

Yay! Been waiting for this!

Minnie is the one who came up on the bridge part also thank you for this reaction, it was great, I learned a lot and love the girls even more hehe

I think culture might be their concept. Middle Eastern, Spanish, American. I’d love to see a calypso type track from them in the future.

The song, the aesthetic, and the video are all like a love letter to 90's chicana and African American culture. Reminds me a little of Los Angeles tbh💖 Its brilliantly done and definitely a game changer!

Minnie's mind is so powerful, from writing songs on her own having that amazing dreamy voice and being able to speak English well. she also did the whistle for hann!

so proud of miyeon this comeback
