Minji thinks she's a doctor, Hanni thinks she's an iphone, Danielle's trying to convince them that they're NewJeans, Haerin thinks she's a cat, and Hyein thinks she's a princess. It really is connected to Ditto. 😭
@@sendxnoodles SAMEEEE I though I was the only one, this is the first time I never skip a song of s group I mean all their songs are 🔥 new jeans is definitely in another level
Newjeans definitely know how to create good music, plus I love the randomness of the editing style, Newjeans definitely stand out from oversaturated industry.
The fact Danielle, Minji, and Hanni all have writing credits in their hit songs and omg being hanni’s second credited song is amazing considering she’s barely a few months out of debut I have to give props to all the girls though they all write lyrics but Minji and Hanni’s were selected for Ditto and OMG. Can’t help but feel super proud of them
Imagine how much SM is regretting not keeping Min Heejin now. I can't believe how creative she is for making these concepts and choosing good songs for Newjeans.
Min Heejin made the Best decision of her life by joining HYBE. She got the creative freedom and the hype all in one package. Everyone knows, HYBE is the only Big music company in Korea that gives complete creative freedom to their artists. BIG3 companies would never do that. They care too much about their own name and legacy.
I think they wont regret, as i watch for ex le sserafim doccumentary, they cancel one member debut because doesnt match with the overall le sserafim group concept....so yeah they might consider 1 and all.
NewJeans is really taking me back. I love that they are retro but still feel fresh for this generation. They have their own unique sound and I’m here for it.
My theory: This is the flip side of Ditto. In Ditto we see it from the fans perspective of how they become real for Heesoo, but she finally gave them up for her reality. I think this is their side of it...what happens when they lose their fans...their whole identity gets all mixed up! Hanni thinks she’s an iPhone, Minji, the leader sees herself as the doctor taking care of everyone, hyein thinks she’s in a fairytale world switching from one story to another, Haerin thinks she’s a cat since Heesoo connected her to a cat. Only Danielle keeps their connection to the real world of artists creating this reality. In the end we see the doctor pick up their drawing that comes alive...which tells us that this world in the psych ward is not real either. Love the little montage of who new jeans are and ending with Minji saying stop. The final scene...love! Times up for the haters! Lol This group is so authentic! That’s their secret! They look like teens, act like teens, sings like young girls and make music that are relatable and resonates with people. I think they will be the next big global group that comes from Korea. What I like is they are forging their own path not following any pre-established kpop formula...love these girls!
and also hyein was a ghost in this m/v 4:32 so i think it has something to do with a bike accident bec if you see Ban haesoo’s youtube channel there’s a video with a description saying “hyein’s bike was red other day”
@@princessk878 I'm pretty sure Hyein as a ghost is to show that she is losing her identity when in front of that bear which looks cute and adorable but we saw what it's really like behind the scenes, deadly and scary to the point it killed her hero. (And the bear is probably some sort of symbolism for fans/public).
I think it goes beyond that, it's their perspective of being an idol in general. Everyone is facing an identity crisis, I believe Danielle is too, maybe the worst of them all. She believes they are NewJeans 24/7, always believing they are doing idol activities. Minji tries to help the others despite realizing that she herself needs help. Hanni feels used like an iPhone, Haerin being called a cat all of the time now thinks she is one and the real Hyein is fading away before our eyes. At least that's my understanding. Not sure how connected to Ditto it is other than the shared dancing scenes but when Hanni is writing she is writing a message to Heesoo to pick up her phone which makes me question whether her phone was even ringing in Ditto B or if she was just imagining that too.
realll, the way the other groups tuned in with the y2k concept and starts releasing funky songs too, newjeans is the new standard for these type of songs in this generation
Thats true. We need more than only dance, visual and vocal in a song. We need a story in song like this. NJ always giving a story in their song, so not boring
Their chart it's SOOOOO stable, i think knetz tired of girlcrush concept... Group with fresh concept like newjeans, fiftyfifty, csr, etc- now get recognised
Pasting my comment here. well a theory says that we saw in ditto mv that how fans are affected by the parasocial relationship between them and the idols they stand but in OMG mv you can see the idols also being affected by the parasocial relationship as well. the lyrics of OMG are the perfect example about how they feel about us (fans). We are with them everyday keeping them happy and joyful so when a fan decides to leave the fandom it also affects the idols cause of how dependent they are on us. You can see that in ditto mv ban heesoo stops contacting newjeans but in OMG mv in hanni's prologue she is sending a massage to ban heesoo telling her to call her.
you should look at MV director's other work. They are team that makes funny commercial. ua-cam.com/video/HJvHknMVUJ4/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/pjAFH7XlznM/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/jFERu4YikZU/v-deo.html
The Producer and CEO of Ador, is one of a kind when it comes to creative direction. I've been a fans of her since I discover f(x) pink tape's art film. When I found out she resign her job as CD on SM for a new venture with HYPE. I know something awesome gonna come out from her.

Quoting and interpreting New jeans director Min Hee-jin's words, this music video compares idols who are trapped in people's misunderstandings and evaluations, trying to show only what the public wants, and putting restrictions on their own actions as mentally confused. It can be seen as expressing the concerns of the music video producer. In the beginning, Hani said, 'I am Siri. The reason why I said ' is that acting to suit the public's taste seems to be likened to Siri, which exists only for the convenience of users.
so like... I'm not great with "theories" as far as consistent storylines in lore go but based off of this MV, the members seem to all have been admitted into the psych ward and are going "crazy" - one thinks they're a doctor - one thinks they're a princess waiting for true love - one thinks they're an iPhone - one thinks they're a cat - one is trying to get the others to remember that they're newjeans and a recurring motif in the MV was "crazy in love" based on the iPhone ++ princess scenes where they were both going crazy in hopes of showing love/acts of service for someone they care about
Recently read Shin Woo-Seok's (Ditto's and OMG's director, also in the MV at 4:45 - that's the actual director/crew :')) interview and he kinda gave an explanation to OMG's MV meaning so here's some context: "When we first began to work on our first project together (Ditto), Min Hee-jin (NJ's CEO/Producer) said that it would be best that we get to know more about the kids (NJ) and their personalities, so she set up a meeting over dinner and invited us over to Ador. [...] It was so great to see kids at Ador have such creative imaginations and can freely expressed themselves. [...] But these kids are in the public eye still, so however innocent their intentions might be, what they do might still be misconstrued. They are kids who might think freely *now*, but what would happen when they lose themselves being exposed to so much criticism and misperception? What would become of one if one keep having to limit what he/she does as an artist and as a person? I had these thoughts, so the script was also developed in this direction"
Basically it's a very clever commentary on idol culture and the public-idol dynamic: NJ thinking they're different things = state of identity confusion (due to being exposed to too much misperception from the public) Hanni being Siri - "I exist only for you" Minji thinking she's a doctor - entertainers taking it upon themselves to heal others/the "rock" of the group who thinks she can save others from the confusion/criticism without realizing she's affected by it herself Hyein and her "princess disease" - idols being perceived as self-centered and always thinking they were the main characters (Dani and Haerin I'm not so sure yet lol) Also at the end, the scene when a doctor looked at their doodles and then the sky, only to see the exact drawings might mean that the "crazy" kids were actually right all along
Yo! New Jeans is off the chain! This has my mind racing and their music is so good yeah they already have a very unique sound to them i can't get enough of it.
The MV make so much sense, since ditto is starting to be proven as the reality… OMG mainly proven as everyone fantasy now. (That just what i’m thinking at the moment) im starting to love this concept a lot
Breaking down: minji wanted to be a doctor, hyein wanted to be a princess fairytale, hanni wanted to be an iphone, haerin wanted to be a cat, and danielle thinks that theyre consider to be newjeans to release them from their fantasy
ya i think that this year will be big for NewJeans, just look at what they did to us, the song, the performance, video, act... complete package, they different wolf
I think they are trying to show the haters’ POV…that NewJeans are crazy. And that’s why danielle was saying, “don’t you remember that we are newjeans?” Maybe because the girls were starting to lose their identities because of the negative comments of the haters.
I really love NewJeans on how they plan out this MV, imagine having that little shot of Minji in the Attention MV and put it here?! literally all I can say is OMG.
I think the thing that makes New Jeans soo good besides the girls its their songs just suit there voices instead of trying to push them out of there confort so that why it sounds soo good and unique and IM not even going to start talking about this videoclip production and promotions
Newjeans have different sounds from other 4th gen songs i heard ... And i love their style and hybe artists /idols are making such good choreo and songs always .. Right 🤭
guys. it's telling us idols are fake. and they only want to make us see what we wanna see. hence hanni is a "phone" "i'm starting to get confused between what others say about me and who i really am" "but it doesn't matter who i am anymore" "¡'ll show you what you wanna see" Hyein is a character in different stories. changing every time. Haerin is doodling on an ambulance. as if to hide all the pain and the bad from it. Hyein's life is planned out in chapters. Then Newieans don't even remember who they are. Flash back to all their mvs. But it's made up. Haerin's doodling became the world. and the twitter commenter is just a person who is suspicious of all of this. and minji stops them. like saying they shouldn’t know the truth. i’m very proud of Newjeans for doing this 💙💙💙
I just realised this fact but the doctor guy at the first scene was an actor in the drama called its okay to not be okay which was a drama about a mental hospital so i thought it was fitting he was here lmao
I think it’s about how the world sees them and how it then gets confusing how you see yourself Minji: the doctor because she is the natural leader and organized voice of reason Danielle: Laughing at the the TV because she is the one always described as always sunny/cheerful; She is also described as Fairy like beauty so she is also in the fairytale book; The rookie run NewJeans has had is a crazy dream come true, they are living it but sometimes in all the craziness of it you can’t tell Haerin: Always calling her a cat😂 and saying she lives in her own mysterious world Hyein: The maknae who has been dreaming of being an idol for a long long time, but it’s a dark fairytale to some extent because the dream is a real bear (scary monstrous ) no bear longer the child like teddy bear dream that she held onto , the enormous pressure and criticism Hanni: she explains her metaphor The male doctor: Represents people who think they know everything and aren’t stans but are are watching everything NJ does
Ok so here is the explanation you all have been looking for. So in OMG it’s about what happened to Heeseo’s friends (aka new jeans) basically what’s going on is that something happened that made them forget their identity so they created them with what small fragments were left. So Hanni thinks she is an iPhone likely because she was always glued to her phone. Minji due to her personality thinks she is a doctor (she is more dense and mature), like she can’t indulge much in her i magination so she is trying to help herself (you can see how she picks herself up, I have a hunch it’s like her child self who actually had an imagination). Hyein thinks she is a princess because of her “My Love Story” book, you can see the different scenarios from different fairy tales, movies and dramas come true in her fantasy with the members acting as different characters (Danielle is her love interest, Haerin is the evil queen); that’s why Dani saw goest Hyein, because in theory she died because she was poisoned, however that Dani is actually what Hyein thinks Danielle is seeing. That’s because Danielle thinks they’re Newjeans (which they are lol) but she thinks this and is considered delusional in this scenario because as we saw in Ditto they are just a group of school friends that liked to dance and record their dances. Now Haerin believes her sketches are reality, because likely the main part of her past identity was drawing hence when she woke up she saw her sketchbook and believed they were reality. Now because they can’t remember their personality they were sent here as said beforehand. However their friend Ban Heeseo had to deal with their “loss” with different mechanisms which we see in Ditto. Basically she recorded with her camera the now empty spaces where Newjeans used to dance in. She did this kind of hoping to visualise them and remember the memories more vividly. But yeah that’s it
I love their concept so much! Also you should do a celebration on your next video because the next vid is gonna be your 1000th upload! Congratulations on that🎉
So the studio that directed this music video is called “Dolphin Kidnappers”. They usually produce absolutely no sense hilarious commercials in Korea. I was fascinated by New Jeans to go with kidnappers for their videos. Kudos.
BTW you have to check out their best commercial. They do have English subtitles. You should react to it. Youll love it!!! ua-cam.com/video/UPex3HwdlC0/v-deo.html
Hi from the future that its Newjeans Year. Heres the theory. OMG and DITTO are connected from a KPOP idol and Fan perspective. OMG Displays the psychological personality that idols display. Iphone Hanni represents the connection of idols and fans by just a phone away. The rest of the members are known for their personalities such as Haerin as a cat because of their features and Danielle as a bubbly one. Why it connects to Ditto is because we are seeing in the eyes of a fan that sees newjeans but does not exist because we create our delusion of newjeans as our physical friends. Now the last part of OMG is important to the story. Ban Hee Soo is the fan pov of DITTO and is the one sitting in one of the chairs in OMG or shows as a bunny plushie. She wrote the comment of “just show their faces and dance” which is connected to the channel titled BAN HEE SOO (Bunnies in korean pronounciatoon) where the last video of that channel is what she wanted to show what OMG would have been in relation to the comment at the end of OMG.
I think ditto was in the view of the fan and living life through their fave and not living life until they grew out of the fandom but OMG is the idols perceptive where they can’t truly be themselves and have to act a certain way which slowly drives them crazy. MHJ is crazy creative
OMG and Ditto are tightly connected. Ditto stands for reality between idol and its fans. OMG depicts unreal images or fantagies of idols forced by its fans.
I think this all about childhood. and the man who is looking like the director is really the mv director :) and the part bear come out and hyein became a ghost, i think is a hommage from the canon ad(same director)
Speaking of Netflix, I immediately recognized the Doctor at the beginning, that's Kim Joo-hun, who had a supporting, but very important role in the K-Drama "It's Okay not to be Okay". Highly recommend, BTW.
I remember when terry first reacted to new jeans and he somewhat still not used to their concept but now I think he fully like it now and even say they are…2023
So as we already knew ditto and omg are about fan-idols relationships. Ditto is from fan perspective (watching ur favs idols online through camera only) and OMG is from idol's pov (they're idols but it's only a part of themselves as their job/career). I remembered bts often discuss about this topic, how do they see themselves from their POV.
I have a theory, in Ditto Hyein connected with the cat in one scene, and now here in OMG she died from the bear and it showed her ghost at the table. later on it was all 4 girls without hyein but they were staring at the cat so could or is Hyein the cat all along ??
WHOA -- just blew my mind here with "OMG" -- this is a saga/mini-series that continues/connects/related to "Ditto". So the girl in the "Ditto" video has an illness, whereby she saw all those people, but the people didn't see her recording NewJeans. So then, this video explains what may be happening to her? And @BRISxLIFE, when there were others explaining about how the girl with the cast recording had a mental illiness and this is the continuation of that concept. However, it *may* actually be real indeed -- when the Dr. looked at the piece of scratch paper with the "imaginary" dinosaur at the end of the video, he looked outside and saw the dinosaur. That's my thought in a nutshell...literally blew up in my face with this juicy revelation!!!
They are hitting HARD with these in depth concepts it really is chilling I agree! It is like LOONA when they dropped their multiverse concepts with each girl. This though got me shivering.
*types of K-pop MV reactors* 1. just vibes to the song without knowing anything (Bris) 2. looked the theories up and explains them to viewers 3. rates the music based on their own preferences
The meaning of this OMG music video is that all 5 members are patients in a mental hospital. The first patient is Hanni, but she thinks she has an iPhone, that is, Shiri. If you change the Korean letters on the iPhone, it means idol, but I was confused because idols have to come when fans call, sing the songs they want to hear, and listen to fans' demands. The second patient is Daniel, and she is always smiling positively even when watching the TV with the screen turned off. The third is Minji. She thinks of Minji as a child as a patient and mistakenly thinks that she is a doctor at a mental hospital. The fourth is Hye-in. Hye-in thinks she is a princess from a fairy tale, and the fairy tales are described in the order of the book titles. The last one is Hae-rin. The members usually nickname her Cat Gang, so she thinks she is a cat. Daniel says we are NewJeans and is currently filming a music video, and even the director who created the music video appears. It ends with the last drawings appearing in the real world and the webtoon cartoonist looking out the window. Dr. Minji takes care of haters with cookies. The intention of the director who made the music video is not for everyone to be crazy, but for all of us to live mixed in reality, fantasy, and ideology, and to respect everyone's imagination. The meaning of the song's lyrics is that Ban Hee-soo from pigeon Letter is a fandom of NewJeans. It means Bunnies. So the lyrics are a confession of love for Bunnies.
Imagining you are Rookie Girl Group but already had awesome debut and unbeatable comeback like this
Frr
frrr

Minji thinks she's a doctor,
Hanni thinks she's an iphone,
Danielle's trying to convince them that they're NewJeans,
Haerin thinks she's a cat,
and Hyein thinks she's a princess.
It really is connected to Ditto. 😭
Omg
That’s the same thing i commented on the mv
Dani is also sick coz she was laughinhhat a blank screen😭😭
Oh wow so that was Minji being her own doctor 😲😲
Yes and i think heeseo is a former friend from that hospital
they've been here for SIX months during which they've released SIX NON-SKIP MASTERPIECES
Never skipped their songs, unlike other groups. Some songs are forgettable and skippable(idk if thats a word lol).

if they didn't achieve the soty than there's must be something wrong with this industry
Fast forward, 'ditto' won soty. Proud of them ❤
Newjeans definitely know how to create good music, plus I love the randomness of the editing style, Newjeans definitely stand out from oversaturated industry.
Every artist under Hybe have the best songs
@@kkyutten fr I can't believe hybe can released such good songs for each of their artist, NJ have special place in my heart though
HYBE groups are just built different. All of them create great music that you can actually listen to and introduce it to other non kpop fans too.
The fact Danielle, Minji, and Hanni all have writing credits in their hit songs and omg being hanni’s second credited song is amazing considering she’s barely a few months out of debut
I have to give props to all the girls though they all write lyrics but Minji and Hanni’s were selected for Ditto and OMG. Can’t help but feel super proud of them
Imagine how much SM is regretting not keeping Min Heejin now. I can't believe how creative she is for making these concepts and choosing good songs for Newjeans.
but i think min heejin shines a lot now because she got her creative freedom. probably in sm she didnt get that much freedom like she is now.

SM very much regrets it because she's the one who left not the other way around
I think they wont regret, as i watch for ex le sserafim doccumentary, they cancel one member debut because doesnt match with the overall le sserafim group concept....so yeah they might consider 1 and all.
NewJeans is really taking me back. I love that they are retro but still feel fresh for this generation. They have their own unique sound and I’m here for it.
It’s R&B mixed with that hypeboy electronic sound which makes it super unique cuz it’s nice and quirky

Commenting to boost this because this is the kind of answer I was looking for lol
Oh wow. Thanks for this
Yeah, thank you 😊
so like... I'm not great with "theories" as far as consistent storylines in lore go but based off of this MV, the members seem to all have been admitted into the psych ward and are going "crazy"
- one thinks they're a doctor
- one thinks they're a princess waiting for true love
- one thinks they're an iPhone
- one thinks they're a cat
- one is trying to get the others to remember that they're newjeans
and a recurring motif in the MV was "crazy in love" based on the iPhone ++ princess scenes where they were both going crazy in hopes of showing love/acts of service for someone they care about
Recently read Shin Woo-Seok's (Ditto's and OMG's director, also in the MV at 4:45 - that's the actual director/crew :')) interview and he kinda gave an explanation to OMG's MV meaning so here's some context:
"When we first began to work on our first project together (Ditto), Min Hee-jin (NJ's CEO/Producer) said that it would be best that we get to know more about the kids (NJ) and their personalities, so she set up a meeting over dinner and invited us over to Ador. [...] It was so great to see kids at Ador have such creative imaginations and can freely expressed themselves. [...] But these kids are in the public eye still, so however innocent their intentions might be, what they do might still be misconstrued.
They are kids who might think freely *now*, but what would happen when they lose themselves being exposed to so much criticism and misperception? What would become of one if one keep having to limit what he/she does as an artist and as a person? I had these thoughts, so the script was also developed in this direction"
Basically it's a very clever commentary on idol culture and the public-idol dynamic:
NJ thinking they're different things = state of identity confusion (due to being exposed to too much misperception from the public)
Hanni being Siri - "I exist only for you"
Minji thinking she's a doctor - entertainers taking it upon themselves to heal others/the "rock" of the group who thinks she can save others from the confusion/criticism without realizing she's affected by it herself
Hyein and her "princess disease" - idols being perceived as self-centered and always thinking they were the main characters
(Dani and Haerin I'm not so sure yet lol)
Also at the end, the scene when a doctor looked at their doodles and then the sky, only to see the exact drawings might mean that the "crazy" kids were actually right all along
This song is so good. Love the beats
best song of 2023 already
Their future is so bright! These concepts and their songs are so fresh out of the box!
They are so clever, they make us rewatch and rewatch the MV
Yo! New Jeans is off the chain! This has my mind racing and their music is so good yeah they already have a very unique sound to them i can't get enough of it.
The MV make so much sense, since ditto is starting to be proven as the reality… OMG mainly proven as everyone fantasy now. (That just what i’m thinking at the moment) im starting to love this concept a lot
Breaking down: minji wanted to be a doctor, hyein wanted to be a princess fairytale, hanni wanted to be an iphone, haerin wanted to be a cat, and danielle thinks that theyre consider to be newjeans to release them from their fantasy
ya i think that this year will be big for NewJeans, just look at what they did to us, the song, the performance, video, act... complete package, they different wolf
NO ONE IS READY FOR NEWJEANSSSS MY GIRLSSS
💀
This is not a new genre, THIS IS THE TRUE KPOP ITSELF!
I think they are trying to show the haters’ POV…that NewJeans are crazy. And that’s why danielle was saying, “don’t you remember that we are newjeans?” Maybe because the girls were starting to lose their identities because of the negative comments of the haters.
I really love NewJeans on how they plan out this MV, imagine having that little shot of Minji in the Attention MV and put it here?! literally all I can say is OMG.
I think the thing that makes New Jeans soo good besides the girls its their songs just suit there voices instead of trying to push them out of there confort so that why it sounds soo good and unique and IM not even going to start talking about this videoclip production and promotions
Newjeans have different sounds from other 4th gen songs i heard ... And i love their style and hybe artists /idols are making such good choreo and songs always .. Right 🤭
They are so good
New jeans my new favorite girl group😍💕
Welcome Tokki!!!❤❤🐇🐇
The Dittoverse is alive and well.
This is the way.
Lol. She goes back and talks to the MV director. MV is doing a lot. The song is such a groove.
guys. it's telling us idols are fake. and they only want to make us see what we wanna see.
hence hanni is a "phone"
"i'm starting to get confused between what others say about me and who i really am"
"but it doesn't matter who i am anymore"
"¡'ll show you what you wanna see"
Hyein is a character in different stories. changing every time.
Haerin is doodling on an ambulance. as if to hide all the pain and the bad from it.
Hyein's life is planned out in chapters.
Then Newieans don't even remember who they are.
Flash back to all their mvs.
But it's made up.
Haerin's doodling became the world.
and the twitter commenter is just a person who is suspicious of all of this.
and minji stops them.
like saying they shouldn’t know the truth.
i’m very proud of Newjeans for doing this 💙💙💙
I just realised this fact but the doctor guy at the first scene was an actor in the drama called its okay to not be okay which was a drama about a mental hospital so i thought it was fitting he was here lmao
I think it’s about how the world sees them and how it then gets confusing how you see yourself
Minji: the doctor because she is the natural leader and organized voice of reason
Danielle: Laughing at the the TV because she is the one always described as always sunny/cheerful; She is also described as Fairy like beauty so she is also in the fairytale book; The rookie run NewJeans has had is a crazy dream come true, they are living it but sometimes in all the craziness of it you can’t tell
Haerin: Always calling her a cat😂 and saying she lives in her own mysterious world
Hyein: The maknae who has been dreaming of being an idol for a long long time, but it’s a dark fairytale to some extent because the dream is a real bear (scary monstrous ) no bear longer the child like teddy bear dream that she held onto , the enormous pressure and criticism
Hanni: she explains her metaphor
The male doctor: Represents people who think they know everything and aren’t stans but are are watching everything NJ does
that beat go crazy
Ok so here is the explanation you all have been looking for.
So in OMG it’s about what happened to Heeseo’s friends (aka new jeans) basically what’s going on is that something happened that made them forget their identity so they created them with what small fragments were left. So Hanni thinks she is an iPhone likely because she was always glued to her phone. Minji due to her personality thinks she is a doctor (she is more dense and mature), like she can’t indulge much in her i magination so she is trying to help herself (you can see how she picks herself up, I have a hunch it’s like her child self who actually had an imagination). Hyein thinks she is a princess because of her “My Love Story” book, you can see the different scenarios from different fairy tales, movies and dramas come true in her fantasy with the members acting as different characters (Danielle is her love interest, Haerin is the evil queen); that’s why Dani saw goest Hyein, because in theory she died because she was poisoned, however that Dani is actually what Hyein thinks Danielle is seeing. That’s because Danielle thinks they’re Newjeans (which they are lol) but she thinks this and is considered delusional in this scenario because as we saw in Ditto they are just a group of school friends that liked to dance and record their dances. Now Haerin believes her sketches are reality, because likely the main part of her past identity was drawing hence when she woke up she saw her sketchbook and believed they were reality.
Now because they can’t remember their personality they were sent here as said beforehand. However their friend Ban Heeseo had to deal with their “loss” with different mechanisms which we see in Ditto. Basically she recorded with her camera the now empty spaces where Newjeans used to dance in. She did this kind of hoping to visualise them and remember the memories more vividly. But yeah that’s it
from what i understand, all this chaos is them telling you "hey we are new jeans, and welcome to our world"
yeah he’s the director, he’s been giving interviews about ditto and he’s hilarious
Imagine they capture 2023 when it literally the year of the rabbit.
hahaha I havent thought of that
Yess!! It’s the year of the rabbit 💖🐰
I absolutely LOVEEEEE NWJNS 😭🦋🦋🦋
Kpop is saved by newjeans. These girls so amazing. Their music great. The energy wow...Good job Hybe n Adora.
Yes FR!!!
I love their concept so much! Also you should do a celebration on your next video because the next vid is gonna be your 1000th upload! Congratulations on that🎉
New jeans is a breath of fresh air. They don’t add unnecessary raps to their music and that’s so satisfying.
probably one of my favourite from NewJeans their song, concepts, everything was so creative!
They totally different with another group Kpop
So the studio that directed this music video is called “Dolphin Kidnappers”. They usually produce absolutely no sense hilarious commercials in Korea. I was fascinated by New Jeans to go with kidnappers for their videos. Kudos.
BTW you have to check out their best commercial. They do have English subtitles. You should react to it. Youll love it!!! ua-cam.com/video/UPex3HwdlC0/v-deo.html
Hi from the future that its Newjeans Year.
Heres the theory.
OMG and DITTO are connected from a KPOP idol and Fan perspective. OMG Displays the psychological personality that idols display. Iphone Hanni represents the connection of idols and fans by just a phone away. The rest of the members are known for their personalities such as Haerin as a cat because of their features and Danielle as a bubbly one. Why it connects to Ditto is because we are seeing in the eyes of a fan that sees newjeans but does not exist because we create our delusion of newjeans as our physical friends. Now the last part of OMG is important to the story. Ban Hee Soo is the fan pov of DITTO and is the one sitting in one of the chairs in OMG or shows as a bunny plushie. She wrote the comment of “just show their faces and dance” which is connected to the channel titled BAN HEE SOO (Bunnies in korean pronounciatoon) where the last video of that channel is what she wanted to show what OMG would have been in relation to the comment at the end of OMG.
7:22 Haters are burned by fact 🔥🔥🔥🔥
automatic thumbs up for this vid bc its NewJeans!
im no kpop fan but the production of the music blow me away
Best girl group ever since long time and best 4gen group for sure
damn, I just noticed, doesn't Hanni look like she's wearing clothes that resemble what steve jobs could wear? I mean that black top and glasses
If you watch Ditto' Official MV (side A) at 1:00 , you'll hear the instrumentals for OMG.
Chero also spoiled in ditto mv
Another great song 🔥
Newjeans really said we're definitely part of Hybe entertainment ❤
Also that one seen with the apple was snow white
This song gives Red Velvet vibes and I love it
Nope
Nwjns are more like trendy cooll
Rv is cutesy based
You literally freaking out about how good they are was literally me when I first heard ditto and omg. NEW JEANS WORLD DOMINATION!!
I just realized Hanni is dressed up as Steve Jobs in the beginning!🔥
I think ditto was in the view of the fan and living life through their fave and not living life until they grew out of the fandom but OMG is the idols perceptive where they can’t truly be themselves and have to act a certain way which slowly drives them crazy. MHJ is crazy creative
This music video is much more then I expected !! Like that little 4th wall break when they pointed at the director lol .
newjeans for sure not getting that samsung advertisement sponsorship lol 😂🤣
OMG has been on my head since it dropped!
Samee
No even just 2023, the owned half of 2022!! Since they debuted in august it’s just been up
OMG and Ditto are tightly connected. Ditto stands for reality between idol and its fans. OMG depicts unreal images or fantagies of idols forced by its fans.
I think this all about childhood. and the man who is looking like the director is really the mv director :) and the part bear come out and hyein became a ghost, i think is a hommage from the canon ad(same director)
Speaking of Netflix, I immediately recognized the Doctor at the beginning, that's Kim Joo-hun, who had a supporting, but very important role in the K-Drama "It's Okay not to be Okay". Highly recommend, BTW.
I remember when terry first reacted to new jeans and he somewhat still not used to their concept but now I think he fully like it now and even say they are…2023
newjeans are built differently
NewJeans is unstoppable!
I love ur reaction! I love newjeans too like their whole songs are so 😎
So as we already knew ditto and omg are about fan-idols relationships. Ditto is from fan perspective (watching ur favs idols online through camera only) and OMG is from idol's pov (they're idols but it's only a part of themselves as their job/career). I remembered bts often discuss about this topic, how do they see themselves from their POV.
love this group since the first song
Yk what’s crazy is 2023 is the year of the rabbit and new jeans fandom are bunnies so it’s definitely their year!!
3:39 I said the same thing when I first heard this song on Spotify. I was like, "BRUH...TAKE ME BACK TO MY CHILDHOOD!!!" 🥰😁
Bro they don't miss frrrr 😭
thank you for supporting New jens
I swear newjeans is not even 4th gen. They are definitely a different gen maybe not even 5th. Releasing soo many bops in under a few months.
I have a theory, in Ditto Hyein connected with the cat in one scene, and now here in OMG she died from the bear and it showed her ghost at the table. later on it was all 4 girls without hyein but they were staring at the cat so could or is Hyein the cat all along ??
yeah, the more often you listen to the songs, the better they are heard... so weird-addictive
You're so quick, I just got the mv notification not even 2 hours ago
He represents my reactions to Kpop MVs
The ending when minji ask the haters go back to the ward is hilarious
WHOA -- just blew my mind here with "OMG" -- this is a saga/mini-series that continues/connects/related to "Ditto". So the girl in the "Ditto" video has an illness, whereby she saw all those people, but the people didn't see her recording NewJeans. So then, this video explains what may be happening to her? And @BRISxLIFE, when there were others explaining about how the girl with the cast recording had a mental illiness and this is the continuation of that concept. However, it *may* actually be real indeed -- when the Dr. looked at the piece of scratch paper with the "imaginary" dinosaur at the end of the video, he looked outside and saw the dinosaur. That's my thought in a nutshell...literally blew up in my face with this juicy revelation!!!
NewJeans the face of kpop now!!!
They are hitting HARD with these in depth concepts it really is chilling I agree! It is like LOONA when they dropped their multiverse concepts with each girl. This though got me shivering.
*types of K-pop MV reactors*
1. just vibes to the song without knowing anything (Bris)
2. looked the theories up and explains them to viewers
3. rates the music based on their own preferences
So I like the song but I LOVE the video. This is the most unique concept I’ve ever seen but I’d expect nothing less of Min Heejin.
New jeans is the best
The meaning of this OMG music video is that all 5 members are patients in a mental hospital. The first patient is Hanni, but she thinks she has an iPhone, that is, Shiri. If you change the Korean letters on the iPhone, it means idol, but I was confused because idols have to come when fans call, sing the songs they want to hear, and listen to fans' demands. The second patient is Daniel, and she is always smiling positively even when watching the TV with the screen turned off. The third is Minji. She thinks of Minji as a child as a patient and mistakenly thinks that she is a doctor at a mental hospital. The fourth is Hye-in. Hye-in thinks she is a princess from a fairy tale, and the fairy tales are described in the order of the book titles. The last one is Hae-rin. The members usually nickname her Cat Gang, so she thinks she is a cat. Daniel says we are NewJeans and is currently filming a music video, and even the director who created the music video appears. It ends with the last drawings appearing in the real world and the webtoon cartoonist looking out the window. Dr. Minji takes care of haters with cookies.
The intention of the director who made the music video is not for everyone to be crazy, but for all of us to live mixed in reality, fantasy, and ideology, and to respect everyone's imagination. The meaning of the song's lyrics is that Ban Hee-soo from pigeon Letter is a fandom of NewJeans. It means Bunnies. So the lyrics are a confession of love for Bunnies.
This was the one they were playing in the background when they were dancing in the Ditto Side A MV!
