    It took me days, but I finally figured it out. Soyeons dilema: How do I make a fun, silly, and dumb song that is totally off brand for (G)I-dle? Answer: Set the song in campy Y2k movie universe then say it was all a dream. Tons of pop culture references in both videos. Allergy sets us up with our Y2K movie universe theme using the common Y2K trope of ugly girl (actually pretty girl with glasses, mussed hair, and baggy clothes) wishes she was pretty and popular like the other girls. She tries and fails a couple times but eventually she takes off her glasses and fixes her hair and gets cool clothes and becomes a popular/pretty girl. Then she learns that being pretty and popular isn't so great after all, so she goes back to being a normal girl but now, after seeing that the grass isn't necessarily greener on the other side, she is happy just being herself. The end. In "Allergy" the answer is plastic surgery instead of removing glass, ect... At the end of "Allergy" we see Soyeon about to go under anesthesia for her procedures that will make her pretty and popular.
    In "Queencard", we pick up at the point where the doctors are applying the anesthesia. Now we're in a drug induced dream world where Soyeon is living the life of a popular/pretty girl. The lyric "I'm a quinka" repeats over and over. ("Quinka" or Queenca" is Korean slang from Y2K meaning "popular girl" or "it girl") In her dream, Soyeon is a "Queenca". Her English lyrics that were actually pretty good in "Allergy" are now all drunken and comically bad (I mean, they are purposefully bad). The scenes are chaotic and wild, they rewind, backgrounds are blurry, they intermix the doctors who are standing around her as doing dance moves, the group members faces change into other members. We see more tropey Y2K movie scenes. Girl looks hot with wet hair as she emerges from the swimming pool. Dance battle at the club. All campy movie tropes. Finally, in the ending chorus of the song, the group is dancing in the hospital (reality is getting closer to her as she regains consciousness). The lyrics "Wearing whatever girl - Queencard", "Thick or thin girl - Queencard", "Full of confidence girl - Queencard". We see Miyeon leaning over her as she wakes up telling her (paraphrasing) "this is what it means to be a Queencard". Soyeon pops awake before the plastic surgery and leaves the hospital. She is now confident that she is a "Queenca" and we can see it in the way she walks, holds her shoulders back, and the expression on her face. (great acting by the way to go from frumpy and unconfident to beautiful and confident without changing anything about her make-up or clothes). This was the common Y2K movie trope of "it was all just a dream". but then we get another trope from those times when Soyeon starts getting likes and follows on an insta photo that seems to be from the dream. it's the "it was all just a dream - or was it?!?!" trope that was pretty common in Y2K movies also. So, Soyeon got to have her fun, silly, dumb bop without it changing the groups brand... or did it?!?!? Pure genius.

      YESSSSSSSS! This is exactly the analysis my brain needed cuz this is the PERFECT breakdown!!!! Omg, thank you for your hard work and mental labour! 😅 I'm pinning this comment!
      This whole thing is so brilliant, from all the obvious Y2K tropes to the way she created the whole "dream" mood with visuals, musical elements, lyrics, everything! And the clear storyline that was soooooooo cliche and overdone in that era (but I high-key love it cuz... nostalgia). Ugh, I love everything about this.

    Kwinka is Korean slang for the popular girl, IT girl .. so its a play on words. So they used Queencard to sound the same.

    • @AmadanMath
      @AmadanMath Рік тому +49

      Kwinka was shortened from kwinkadeu, which is literally Queencard. It seems that couple of decades ago the Koreans used to present a literal queen card and a king card to what would in US be like prom king and prom queen. They didn't use Queencard to sound the same, it is literally that word (but with the added cultural context).

    I feel Soyeon wrote these songs in relation to her earlier days. Before (G)I-DLE she struggle a lot with her looks because the public constantly called her ugly so she began to believe it and honestly thought she was ugly. But when she started to accept herself and become more comfortable and confident in herself and her looks, believing herself to be beautiful, others began to accept her and call her beautiful as well.

    “The core message of ‘Queencard’ is that you can be a beautiful person if you adore yourself,” the group’s leader, Soyeon, said. “And if you adore yourself, others will adore you. I hope a lot of people can feel this with our new music.”
    According to Soyeon, “Queencard” can be thought of as a comedy movie with a retro vibe. “The 2018 American comedy film I Feel Pretty inspired me a lot,” Soyeon explained. “So far, I think we have attempted to give some lessons to people through our albums and music videos, but this time, we included more comical, humorous and entertaining elements.”

    • @KPopwithKhadija
      @KPopwithKhadija  Рік тому +16

  • @ariathefirst6495

    Queencard is based on the movie I Feel Pretty from 2018 (their debut year). Soyeon said to not take the song too seriously. She said that they have done serious songs in the past and would like to make something more fun and comical. It's a satire actually. They are making fun of the beauty standards while also pushing for body positivity. You can be a queen regardless of how you look like or what body type you have.

    As others have stated, this is Soyeon's direct response to the hate she recieved about her looks before she debuted in G-Idle (during and after Produce 101).
    Things I noticed watching the video a few times is that the story follows Soyeon finding the confidence in herself. You can notice that Soyeon wants to be like Miyeon, basing her plastic surguery on her looks, the constant shifting between Soyeon and Miyeon. Either in the mirror where Miyeon turns into Soyeon, or at the party later in the video where Soyeon takes the place of Miyeon in her clothes and in the dance scenes. However she realizes that she herself is a "Queen Card" no matter what she looks like. Stripping away the desire to fit societal norms of what they think she should look like. Waking up from the surgery, back to her orignal apperance from the Allergy video. Only to realize (from the post on her recent insta" that she is in fact a Queen as she already is.
    Also I don't know if you noticed but the video is in direct reference to the iconic film White Chicks.
    Overall a really cool concept with an amazing message

    • @KPopwithKhadija
      @KPopwithKhadija  Рік тому +4

      Yes, I really like the use of the visuals switching back and forth between members. It really drove home that this was like... her dream or fantasy. It's funny, cuz they really do all look STUNNING in the 'Queencard' video and it's hard not to notice & comment on it, but then you're like "Wait, that's the point. They are so much more than just looking flashy & pretty!"
      That's the same thing I thought with the NXDE video, too! They really leaned in to the whole visual aesthetic to point out how much we judge women (esp idols) on physical appearance. BRILLIANT!
      I didn't notice the White Girls reference until I watched Caitlin Benson's reaction, but I see a lot of specific 2000s-era references all throughout. Love it!

      the fact that people really hate on people because of their "lack of beauty" -- like don't be so superficial. Especially on an idol competition show, fans/voters/general public tend to focus on outer beauty too much and it's like why does that matter? Who are you to determine who's pretty or not? That makes me so mad :(

    omg i’m early!! thank you so much for reacting to idle!! i’m such a big fan of them and their artistry, they’re seriously a gem in the industry, a lot of the topics they talk about arent discussed much in kpop. i feel like soyeon gets a lot a of hate for her english lyrics, but i wish people gave her korean lyrics the same amount of attention because her lyrics in korean are pure gold. yes the english lyrics are silly but it’s a fun pop song and i’m not here for an english lesson you know? 🤷🏾‍♀️
    if you’re interested, allergy was based on soyeons personal experiences as a teenager where she compared herself a lot to other people as a trainee (she used to get a lot of negative comments about her appearance when she was on produce 101) and how she learned to love herself as she met idle and got older!! queencard is more a carefree song, she said that a lot of her songs have heavy messages and deep lyrics so she wanted to try and make a more lighthearted song with funny lyrics but still ultimately has a message!! i hope you can listen to some of their other bsides, my personal favorite is i burn! and i highly suggest watching their performances bc their stage presence is out of this world, thanks again for reacting, i love your videos ❤

      Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!! Both of these songs are so important and such great messages, told in two totally different ways. Someone else commented that maybe the "silly" English lyrics in Queencard are intentional, to showcase how silly it all is and also highlight that it's just Soyeon's dream/fantasy/drug-induced (from the anasthesia) song. Like, of course it doesn't make sense! ...I love her.
      I am curious to hear more b-sides from them for sure! And live performances!

    I really loved these songs! The message was pretty clear in both of them too. Someone said the word Queencard (or queenca? when its pronounced in korean) meant a person who is confident or something like that so it makes sense to me. But its about to be my summer bop, I just know. Its so fun!
    Same story for me though, I've enjoyed their music over the years but often skipped them when they'd come on. Then the last 2 albums got me. The b-sides and all. So I was really excited about this new album and they didn't disappoint!

    They were already my fave Kpop girl group but when I saw the behind the scenes video of the Nxde recording sessions and witnessed Soyeon in the booth with a very clear vision and how she was able to direct the other members' performances to get exactly what she wanted the song to be, that's when it hit how brilliant she actually is and why this group stands out.
