"She's very significant" You couldn't have been more right. Soyeon is the leader, writer, and producer of the group(thou in total there are three producers among the members, Minnie and Yuqi as well as Soyeon). They are a self-made group all the way through, and Soyeon produced and wrote most part of their songs. Only talented queens in this group
@@brydiebray5017 Hmm, I'm almost a 100% sure she isn't credited for any lyrics of any KDA song. However she has written for other artist, like Namjoo's song 'Bird'. She has also contributed to the lyric of songs she's featured in, like Hyoyeon's song 'Dessert'.
@@brydiebray5017 I'm pretty sure she didn't, I was checking out her credits as well, they are not mentioned. I think Riot Games has the full credit over it. But if you can find anything please let me know!
I actually miss her really much the way CUBE can't manage their idols is just so shit. She would have been amazing with the girls but I am happy how idle didn't change that much :)
@_JPF_K-POP_LOVE_FOREVER_ How do you know that Cube didn't manage the situation properly? We know only a part of the story and there's a saying according to which there is no smoke without fire. It's obvious that the rest of G-idle agrees with how Cube has managed the situation otherwise they wouldn't have made this comeback. Maybe Soojin didn't want to return, no one knows what really happened.
@@Johnny24rs The members agree with CUBE? Then we definitely have a different opinion on that. What is there even of an option for the girls? They have to move on but that doesn't mean that they are completly okay with the situation. The members give a lot of hints that they still see themselves as 6 members
@@Johnny24rs it's quite obvious cube didn't manage the situation properly, if g idle was in SM entertainment Soojin would still be part of the group but I don't really blame cube. Different companies have different ways of handling situations. It all depends on what the company prioritize
In 'My Bag' Soyeon says 'Red FIVE diamonds' which basically means she has the rest of the 5 members in her bag including Soojin (the member who was kicked out)
A lot of ppl have contemplated the lyrics of Tomboy, and thought that especially Soyeons rap was crap. But a lot of nevies(fandom) have noticed that the lyrics are making a statement about Soojin getting kicked out of the group and the kpop industry and its crappy consernative standards. Soojin was the 6th member, who sadly got kicked out of the group by their company after she had multiple scandals. A bullying scandal came first, where she was accused of being a bully in middle and high school, torturing her fellow classmates. It was proven false, one of the alleged victim's sister(who made a post accusing Soojin) was found to be a misunderstanding. Soojin wasn't the only idol to have a bullying scandal in early 2021, as multiple idols were accused, most being fake. Then there were scandals about her smoking, drinking, and having sex when she was still underage. In Tomboys uncensored rap, Soeyen sings "sex on whiskey" and "without cigarettes" which correlate straight to Soojins scandals. Soojin did admit to smoking and drinking when underaged, and in the released statement she talked about how she isn't proud of it. The whole lyrics also attack the industry. Female idols are supposed to be really conservative: cute and charming, well behaved, no smoking, no drinking, no love life with their life only dedicated to pleasing the fans, not too different, cant show too much or too little skin, no opinions of their own, no tattoos, not even crushes or finding other people attractive, obviously no LGBTQ unless its fan service. The whole song is basically just a fuck u to the industry and its standards for female idols. Soyeon raps "id rather film a TikTok" which pretty clearly is put there to show that this is a different generation, and connected with the song, it's pretty clearly saying that "fuck u and your standards, this is a different generation". Just to update on Soojin: she was kicked out of the group, and the last knowledge of what we have of her is that she was in her grandmas' house in early 2021 after the scandals broke online.
Soojin left so her scandal wouldn't affect her friends and probably under pressure from Cube. She didn't get kicked out explicitly but Cube likely heavily pressured her.
@@Yetti. soo, in the trailer, Minnie, (the girl with bangs) was praying to be freed from temptation, then towards the end she said she doesn't need divine help again because she isn't a 'sinner'. If you've watched Snow white - the cartoon version- you'll see that it ties to that as well
Oh My God has so much symbolism like you were noticing and they all have their own story. Soojin is the Temptress with the color Purple. and the whispering is Latin which roughly means from the "bottom of my heart"
they just lost a member recently :( also, the G isn't usually said its just "idle" or "idol". Soyeon, the rapper, leader, writes, produces, decides pretty much everything on all their songs
I love that you caught how Soyeon uses a lot of the same symbolism (colors, burning up, flowers) in all of her lyrics! She’s definitely hit or miss for people, but I really like all of her songs and how well she uses all of their voices
your interpretation of tomboy is on point and i can't believe people are missing on that ! I've been seeing people comment how they don't like the concept and it just shows girl boss and im like, its so clear what do you mean?
yes, soojin was kicked out from this group because she was accused of bullying in highschool, in last resulting she wasn't guilty, still their agency was a trash and didn't discuss anything about it, and kicked her out from this group. but technically she was in the group. but this month, her contract was terminated and she finally lets herself out from that crappy agency.
This isn't actually what happened. A FAMOUS ACTRESS accused Soojin of bullying and considering they were indeed in the same middle school, and the actress had spoken about being bullied in the past YEARS prior to the accusations, the public believed HER rather than whatever statement Soojin put out. Soojin's career had no chance of recovering from that and that's why Cube removed her from the group, and ended her contract in order to free Soojin from any obligations she had towards the agency. With an ongoing idol contract, it would have been extremely difficult for her to sign even a simple work contract, now she can at least go on with her life - keeping her signed would have been the cruel thing to do since she has no chance of coming back to the entertainment industry. The reason why Cube waited until last week to end her contract is probably because they still had an ongoing defamation lawsuit with Soojin's first accusers (not the actress). They were only able to end her contract when the lawsuit was officially dismissed by the police (because of lack of evidence, they decided that the case couldn't proceed to court).
@@ashurasama she didn't really accuse Soojin more like Inserted herself 💀 because accusers sister said Soojin bullied SSA by putting cigarettes in her desk and stealing SSA's letter.... When that's far from the Truth because they never even talked to each other
"Assured" is a big compliment considering LATATA is their debut song. To be fair, LATATA at the time was one of the strongest debuts in K-pop, receiving its first win only 20 days after debut (nowadays groups debut in a much stronger way I think).
Also yes, you are totally right about this not being Korean-proper kpop. This is a pretty risky video to talk about drinking and lol blending and poisoning a dude. Soyeon supposedly came up with the whole mv concept to match the songs message, and she wanted to be really clear about their identity since they lost a member (not by their choice, she was let go after a scandal) and this is their first song as 5.
The LION rap about breaking prejudices really set the tone for (G)I-DLE's career from that point forward (although they've always been different from the start). LION later becomes part of their third mini album which is the first mini album in K-pop to be fully written by a woman (JEON SOYEON, the leader and rapper).
@@enanarea In 'I Made', the last track 'Blow Your Mind' is co-written and co-composed by FlowBlow w/c is a prod. team composed of men. In 'I Trust', all songs are written solely by Soyeon and no other person.
I was really surprised with your interpretation of "Oh My God". The theory that most people have is about temptation and probably even obsession. The main lyrics are "Oh My God She(!) took me to the sky/Oh My God She(!) showed me all the stars" referring to obviously a woman. Soojin(the blonde girl with purple background) said her role in the MV is to be the temptation for the other girls...to make them fall in love with her. Soyeon(the rapper) is the one who wrote the whole song and she said "I believe that all kinds of love are valuable and must be respected." This song made a lot of waves and the LGBTQ community was really happy to hear it. It's honestly my favourite song, from the vocals/rap and the MV to what it represents
haha... for a second I thought, you had copied my post from earlier. I wrote something almost identical :D So... I totally agree with you! :) Just the last part is different: Tomboy is now my most favorite song by (G)I-DLE and overtook Oh My God...
@@Guthwulf11 i haven't read all the comments yet so I didn't mean to copy yours, it's a coincidence. I'm happy to hear that we have the same opinion tho :)
With Tomboy, their whole concept was you cant hurt us no matter who you are, what you say, ect. this is their fist comeback without Soojin, who got kicked out because of a bullying accusation (from when she was 12 years old). they basically wanted to make a point of saying we don't care what you have to say because we're still strong and you will loose against us if you talk negatively about us. Their whole concept in general is about being strong women who don't pander to others expectations.
Minnie wrote,composed,co-produced Always,Escape and Yuqi wrote,co-composed,produced Polaroid and Liar and Soyeon their leader wrote,co-composed and involved in production of the rest of the tracks☺️!
at 34:48 the tik tok phrase actually means she would rather film tik toks than stay in the "stereotypes the society fixed on girls, i.e., in the kitchen" filming tik toks usually show how free/unoccupied you are so she means she would rather do a senseless act than fit to your stereotype OMG I LOVE THIS QUEEN
27:38 one of the members has just recently "left" (cube kicked her out) because of stupid rumors. Queendom had 6 of them its just the girl that did the breakdance at the beginning left after it and came back for the 2nd verse. Soojin which was the girl u rly liked in the latata dance pratice will be forever missed
@@atle7757 bruhh no, no evidence it's true no evidence it's not true SSA isn't even sure if soojin was really part of the 'bully group' Idk why Cube won't investigate further soojin isn't proven innocent nor guilty, that's a fact Ofc cube is shit
@@atle7757 The actress who accused Soojin admitted that "she didn't actually know if Soojin was involved" so maybe YOU should check your facts. Despite her taking back her accusations, CUBE still decided to terminate Soojin's contract.
Gidle are known for having a different and unique concept every comeback. The message that Tomboy has is really good. as a female self produced and self made group (Which is almost non existent in the kpop industry) Gidle has always struggled to prove that you don't need to be a man to make your own music. Soyeon( The rapper and the writer and producer of this song and 90 percent of Gidle's discography) has talked about this so many times and how she thinks music doesn't have gender.(Which is the main theme of this song where they say it's neither man nor woman just me I-DLE) In a male dominated society like Korea and industry like Kpop, I think this song (And this whole album) was a really risky move specially after one year of hiatus but nothing can stop these girls. I'm proud honestly. Thank you so much for the reaction and I hope you can react to more of them❤❤
Ngl everytime I watch the ‘Lion’ performance, I start crying. I get so hyped too. I’m just so goddamn proud of all of them. They are truly one of the most talented k-pop groups out there. OT6 forever ♾ ❤️
The realization that Soojin is missing I'm crying!!! She had to leave the group because of allegations. We will forever miss her. She's our precious cherry and dancing queen:( But thank you for checking our girls out!! Soyeon (main rapper/ leader) does write most of their songs and that's why all their tracks have deep messages!!! Yuqi and Minnie also have written a couple songs from their past and newest album I NEVER DIE!!! And yes My Bag is their flex track we love it!! I hope you'll keep checking out (G)I-DLE in the future!!
Fyi : The leader and rapper Soyeon contribute most of their songs and she is one of top 5 4th-gen idols with most songwriting credits ( Koreaboo, November 12th 2021 ) 1. Bang Chan Stray Kids ( 106 songs ) 2. Changbin Stray Kids ( 96 songs ) 3. Han Stray Kids ( 93 songs ) 4. Hoongjoong Ateez ( 58 songs ) 5. Soyeon (G)-Idle ( 55 songs )
soyeon,rapper, is a monster producer. she made most of their songs and now following last 2 comebacks two other members yuqi and minnie are also producing songs for the group. they are literally self made❤️🔥
I miss Soojin so much, she was so important for the group.. Btw they were 6 in Queendom, she was kicked out recently this is their first cb without her They also have 3 foreign members
OMG thank you for this!! I've been waiting for this. It's just sad that one member (Soojin) isn't part of the group anymore but they really slayed this one. Definitely, this comeback sparks their vengeance. It's like they're saying "WE WILL NEVER BACK DOWN" Fun fact: Soyeon (the leader and main rapper) writes and produces majority of their songs. Minnie and Yuqi also took part in this comeback.
so my first exposure to them was today, with their Tomboy comeback!! and i am OBSESSED. something about them...i think it's the self-producing thing, because (G)I-dle has hit me the same way Stray Kids hit me, and i think it's because each group seems to be their own genre of music, different from the rest of kpop. i also see a lot of lgbt+ subtext in their work so far. i LOVE your analysis of Oh My God- you picked up on the religious themes immediately with the imagery and colors, which is amazing! i wasn't convinced until the direct lyrical references. I find Oh My God to be such a clear metaphor for queer sex/orgasm. i also get a lot of lgtbt+ subtext in the tomboy mv as well- in addition to the incredibly intelligent analysis that you've done!
I LOVE your interpretation of 'Oh my god'! It really is a very poetic song, and one that can have multiple meanings. But I think Soyeon's original intention when she wrote this song was very much like what you said, which is looking deeper into oneself and seeing all the things that are "dark" or, in her rap, considered by society to be a "sin" but in the end accepting all of that anyway. The "she" originally refers to that deeper/other part of themselves. A lot of people also interpret this as a forbidden love kind of thing between two women, which also makes A LOT of sense.
Soyeon is just on another level... Leader, producer, composer, songwriter n some of their song was produced, composed n wrote by the leader I mean the rapper . This make her unique 😘😘 n I miss soojin even more 😢😢
28:22 The line "I'm not interesten in money since I was born" comes from the fact that Minnie's family are almost royalty in Thailand, so she's super rich from birth.
Jeon Soyeon: Leader and Main rapper of (G)I-DLE... has written, composed, and produced about 80% (give or take) of their discography, with Minnie and Yuqi being about 15% for now because they're still getting into it a little more. 5% for the co-creditors just out of consideration. Soyeon is also involved in stage arrangements and has been known to be involved in some choreographies as well.
The 6th member Soojin left after their comeback in early 2021 due to the bullying controversy (which wasn't proven). (G) I-dle is a special group. It started with Soyeon basically forming and writing the majority of their songs, but now as they get more experienced other members have started to produce as well
When you’re reacting to oh my god you talk about how it feels very personal and that’s because they do take part in writing, arranging and composing their discography!! Soyeon, the leader and rapper, has written and produced most of their songs (all title tracks included) and recently Minnie and Yuqi have also started writing and producing for them, if you check out their albums you should definitely see the credits because those two have made some amazing b-sides :) The whole group is super talented and even tho they’re very different people with different voices and singing styles the harmony in their music is always amazing, each one of them shines and its so refreshing to hear a group that brings so much diversity to the table, I really hope you keep reacting to more of their stuff :)
I loved Queendom and wouldn't take away anything from MAMAMOO's win, but clearly the group who slayed the hardest on that show as I-DLE. I don't think it's a coincidence that after Queendom, I-DLE's fan base tripled and suddenly their name was being spoken along side some of the industry's giants.
Soyeon, the main rapper is significant because every song you listened to here is her work, she's credited in the majority of idles discography. And the missing member, Soojin was excluded from group activities in August after being accused of bullying 10 years ago(when she was 14), her contract was released only about a week or two ago after a police investigation (I personally find it dumb that she was removed for things that happened when she was a kid, i'd feel different if the accusations were within the last few years, but the Korean public wasn't happy with her)
Loved this reaction. They do have a part in the writing and production so their music can be more personal. From what I understand of Oh My God is that it's a prayer-like song regarding each character's individual struggles with temptation and how the outside world judges them for it. Some of them overcome the negativity, others struggle with guilt and being torn between what they want and what they believe to be a sin and being shunned for it by society and one pays the ultimate price in the end.
Soojin was my bias, I miss her SO much. Having Soojin and Soyeon in a group together was like having CL and HyunA together. It’s really such a shame but Soyeon is such a great producer that she made an album called “I never die” with the bops Tomboy & my bag after Soojin unfortunately had to leave the group... Soojin was main dancer 😭
same 💔 maybe she'll redebut as a sploist in the future?? like i miss her sm i don't want this to be the last of her 😕 but if she decides to stay out (which it seems she has so far) then that's ok too. but still argwjh
i see 5 members , but feel the presence of 6 members. she is deep within their mind , she is deep within their Heart , she is deep within their Soul . the Love , Passion and Flame 🔥of Soojin is always with them
oh my god is about falling in love with a girl, feeling guilty because of the way people around you sees it. Gay being bad. They sing about "her" being the temptaion, the one they let in and that is "beautiful but still like a devil" its a love song with a dark characher
Love your analysis of their lyrics! They definitely intentionally defy typical standards and expectations for girl groups as a self-produced group Huge respect especially with how feminism is looked down upon in South Korea
Fun facts about (g)idle related to blackpink: - minnie is from thailand just like lisa and they both are friends.......last year (or this year i dont remember) they went together to twice concert - miyeon was close to being blackpink's 5th member, so she is close to the girls and they still talk ( actually when lisa went to the twice concert she went with other members of gidle too, they shared van and everything) And then sure there are more facts but thats all i can recall by memory right now
I'm Brazilian and I love your reactions, and oddly enough I'm improving my English with you, your accent is so beautiful, and your way of reacting to things enchants anyone, you react with so much emotion and show that you are sincere, I just LOVE it!
OMFG i was waiting for you to discover (G)-Idle soooo baaad. They have such an unique style when it comes to music and I love it. They are so underrated. TY!! (Btw the G in (G)-Idle is silent so it’s just pronounced as Idle or Idol.) My Bias is Minnie but the other members always fight over the bias wrecker position:) Actually I heard about (G)-Idle when I searched the actors from the drama “So not worth it” (definitely underrated, comedy gold and a recommendation) and found out about Minnie, then about the group. And how can I say it… I’m hooked now lmao. But thank u for enjoying their music
finally omggg (g)-idle!! they are self-produced not only in lyrics but also production esp by their leader soyeon with occasional tracks made by other members minnie and yuqi (even though they do work with other producers). their message is authentic and they are crackheads with duality LOLL! also everyone has a unique vocal color that is so powerful so you seriously grow to love them individually but also together as a group! also this list is a perfect introduction to (g)-idle! in lion, oh my god, and latata, they still had soojin, but after this comeback with tomboy and my bag, soojin is no longer in the group anymore :(. lolll (g)-idle is just bold and i think everyone has issues with feminism but we love the savagery and fierceness from them!
My personal interpretation of Oh My God has always been about lesbianism in relation to religion. A lot of people think the song is about obsession, but it think that from a different perspective, it can be more of a love song. The first lines of the song seem sweet, “beneath the dazzling sky covering my eyes, I run into your arms,” before it transitions to Soyeon’s verse where she begs to be set free. This, to me, feels like the beginning of her self-realization, when she’s only just figured out that she’s in love with another woman and she’s terrified because she’s only ever been taught that it’s sinful to be queer. Then the lyrics transition to an internal debate. “You destroy my reason and let yourself in,” the speaker here is blaming the woman she’s fallen for. “Dangerous and yet I want to own it and hold onto this pain,” here she’s realizing how badly she wants this love. And the chorus, of course, is just detailing the way that this newfound love is making her feel things she’s never felt before. Soojin’s verse is where she starts to accept herself a bit and enjoy her new relationship. Soyeon’s rap is her panic as she realizes she isn’t supposed to love women and she contemplates wether it’s worth it to go to hell for this love, eventually deciding to abandon her fear of sin in order to love the woman she wants to be with. Miyeon’s verse is her wondering how this beautiful woman she’s in love with could ever possibly be evil and Yuqi’s verse is her choosing to get burned in the name of love. Shuhua’s verse is her full self-acceptance, ending with my favorite line, “and whatever people say, fall in love”.
Stan this unique, talented visial group! they always come back with something completely different. are different from the rest of gbads. nice that you noticed such details in the lyrics and the interpretation
Idle is a completely Self-produced group, they write, produce and compose all their music. Along with proposing/directing the concepts and visual designs for all their Music Videos, they don’t only have a hand in the creation process, they are the process. Their leader Soyeon, she has written and produced most of their discography, all the songs you reacted to here are hers. Then we also have Minnie and Yuqi who also write, produce and compose, their songs are mostly part of the b-sides for their albums. We call them the ‘Producer Line.’ This group is incredibly talented and although they get some support from their agency, is very much them who carry the group. Thankfully the agency give them the creative freedom, because they have proved themselves with hit after hit. They are not afraid to touch on deep and even controversial topics in their writing. Love them so much!
In oh my god soyeon thought why would we always use "he" so they wrote the song to a "she" thats why the lyrics was like "if its a sin im ready for the punishment" and stuff like that. Soyeon is one of the best songwriters in the industiry and knows how to compliment other memebers unique voices.
Wow I’m actually really surprise on how you described perfectly the meaning of all songs at the first listening and capture the exact elements that express the meanings of the songs, love your interpretation too!
Yeah the reason soojin left g idle is because she was getting a lot of hate because there where accusations that she used to be a bully in high school it’s sad because she was the main dancer
The rapper girl, who’s also the leader, produces most of their songs. They’re a sled-productive group. The very sensual girl, who you said knows the hip dance, left the group after some bullying scandal.
Fun fact: Two of the G Idle Members voices the characters in KDA mv. I recommend y’all watching if you haven’t seen it yet. I recommend watching More by KDA and pop/star. ❤️
Oh My God is about the stigma of gay/lesbian relationships in their culture and others obviously, Minnie is growing insane with the desire for a woman but struggling with the "consequences" Yuqi walks in that dreamy corridor like to her this woman/woman relation is so dreamy. Miyeon Shows the more "innocent" side of the relation ship. Soojin shows the aspect of the sensuality and seductiveness. Soyeon from the starts seems to be accepting the fate of it all and "walking towards it". Then her rap part literally shows that she embraces it even with the stigma/consequences. Then you see her in some mudd/blood wich represents some kind of rebirth into a fully acceptence of who she is. The only part im not 100% about is Shuhua.
Shuhua's part is represented more by the background colours. White for purity and innocence, her not falling into temptation. And the waves of purple being the same as Soojin's background (Soojin is the one who tempts them) so she is falling in love hence Shuhua's lyric "fall in love". There is another scene with Soojin pulling Shuhua for a kiss(or just pulling her close) witch also has purple background
Im pretty sure shuhua is about her being tempted by soojin and failing to not be tempted hence the line "whatever people say fall in love" and then being pulled in close by soojin. But everyone is being also tempted by soojin at the same time, but shuhua was the only person to fail and end up getting pulled in.
gidle are the group that have everything for me. My fav group since day 1 they debuted. Soyeon have been on many survival show such as 'unpretty rapstar' and 'produce101' . people judge heri voice her cace, but what i saw is she never giveup, mostly all gidle song composed by her. she's full of ideas that people can't expect. Minnie voice are so underrated , but everytime she's singing i always get goosebumps. I really like 'Dahlia' by gidle. all songs in hwaa album really really good. Miyeon when she's singing ballad , she really shine but not everyone saw it. the fact she's one of blackpink lineup before bp debuted. Soojin dancing and expression OMG THIS ONE ! no one can replace her gaze , her movement when dancing, she's a diamond but the company didn't save her. I'm so sad she got into bully scandal (there's no proof) but she left the group 😭 Shuhuaaaa for me is the one who make this group always happy. Her existence is perfect hahaha. I cant describe her. I love her expression, they way shuhua talk, they way she dance. Shes sooo elegant innocent sexy cutie hahaha Lastly they all crackhead and so chaos 😭😂 No one can stop them being crazy HAHAHAHA. You can just watch any variety show and youll understand this 😂
I've been listening their songs since debut and I really like how they manage to surprise me everytime. They don't do always the same thing, but every comeback has a different concept. The members have a special bond and I'm really happy because I hope one day they will have their own company because Cube sucks.
Soyeon is a little human ahahaha she is short, but she is big on stage and in the industry. One of the best female rappers to me and the cutest one ahahah
the rapper is actually Jeon Soyeon, one of the best rappers in K-pop (the best in girl groups in my opinion). she also writes Idle's songs and is one of the producers of the group, I'm such a fan!
I just watched your reaction for the first time and I'm actually pretty late haha but I have to say that you're really smart! The way you explained Tomboy was really nice and it could have that kind of meaning but in reality it talks about something deeper. The song and probably the whole album have to do with ex Idle member (Soojin). As we can see at 31:49, Minnie mentions a tattoo and Soojin is known for having a few tattoos done. At 32:07, if you pay attention you can hear Soojin's adlibs while Soyeon is singing which means that this specific "why are you cranky boy" part was going to be Soojin's (they recorded the song last year near the end of winter and Soojin was still kind of part of the group so she was probably part of the recording as well). Soyeon who also writes/produces most of Idle's songs, was smart and left Soojin's adlibs so we know which parts she would've gotten if she was still in the group and im also guessing she left them there because she wants to show that Idle will always be six and because the song would feel pretty empty without hearing at least a little bit of her voice in it. I personally wondered why the song doesn't sound that empty without Soojin but that's when i realized the adlibs in the background and I understood. Now, at 34:14, Soyeon speaks about the allegations made against Soojin "Sometimes we swear without cigarettes, I like to eh on drink and whiskey i won't change it what the hell", (An actress accused Soojin of smoking, drinking and also bullying her but don't worry none of this is true, later the actress said that she wasn't even sure if Soojin was part of the group that bullied her and yet destroyed such talented Idol's career.. I'm not even gonna talk about this actress but Soojin literally had to beg her father to become an idol and I can't imagine how she feels now that she got kicked out.) Soojin admitted of smoking once or a few times but she never bullied anyone or anything like that. Plus, she was still in what.. middle school? High school? We all make stupid mistakes in life, especially at scuh age yet the company was soooo dumb and kicked her out, they really can't handle scandals and always destroy their idols instead of protecting them. No wonder the girls made a whole album talking about this situation, they're mad and it shows. You can also see that she says "I like to dance, I love my friends" and that's no coincidence because Soojin was Idle's main dancer hence why she likes to dance and of course she loves her friends a lot. Also, something i pointed out is that, the whole mv has colors like red, that could just be because of the concept but red is also Soojin's color so that's another thing to pay attention to. Last but not least, I forgot where but Soyeon mentions having FIVE members with her or something like that so let's count that in. The girls loved Soojin a lot and I' pretty sure Soojin did too. It's sad that such talent went to waste, I just wish they could move to another company and be together again. Something that worries me is that Soojin is nowhere to be seen, no one has seen her outside or anywhere at all, she doesn't even have any social media so no one knows what has happened with her, let's just hope she's doing fine and recovering from all of this because she looks like a very sensitive person, this might've literally been traumatic for her at some point. I remember one time when she was live and a miserable, ugly person made a comment on her face saying that she looked ugly and a few seconds later Soojin just ended the live, she looked really sad. It's such a shame idols have to go through so much. For example, the lyrics of Tomboy also talk about breaking free and doing whatever you want, act and talk however you want. It's not really about the styling/dressing. You know when people say things like "sit like a lady" "talk like a lady" "act like a man" and stuff but that's so stupid isn't it? There's literally no thing such as "sitting like a lady" or "acting like a man" and that's basically another thing they're trying to prove with this song. I'm sorry for the very long paragraphs but i hope this made sense because i feel like an explanation like this, especially for new Idle fans, was needed. Have a good day/night! 💖
This is the first time I came across an on point reaction to Oh My God!! The way you react to videos is my style, I love it! You pause to make sure you won't miss anything instead of talking over while video plays. You also provide very sensible thoughts. I'm glad I found you. Most will say it's about being lesbian but I agree with you. it's a journey and like a prayer on how to fight with their inner desires (which could be anything like what Soyeon said. It can be being lesbian or anything that you think is sinful). I just so love you. New subscriber here! More power to your channel. ❤️
soyeon the rapper of the group is also a leader and main composer and lyricist of all idle releases, Members like Minnie and Yuqi is also write their own songs for bsides
yeah... Soyeon, the rapper, writes most of their songs. I've never heard such a strange interpretation for "oh my god". Maybe I misunderstood you. But the lyrics literally say what it is about. The most common interpretation is something like this: Its about sin and temptation (red standing for lust, passion, desire, black for corruption and white for innocence, purity). The central line being "She (!) took me to the sky ... she showed me all the stars". Most of the members lyrics are in the vein of: "nothing can pull me away from your embrace ... you may be poison, but sure as hell taste like honey... losing all my senses when you pull me close... I can't control this desire". Only Sojiin (the blonde girl with the purple background) has lines like: "baby, baby If you rush into me (!), come in, make me make me" and she is shown at one point holding an apple (biblical reference) as well as whispering during the bridge into the ear of one of the other members, pulling her closer. So... Soojin is the temptation or the sin and the other girls are in different states of falling for her, "letting (her) in". The LGBT community has gone crazy for this song ;)
The co-write and produce their own. Songs the leader of the group make sure they have a lot of freedom with the things they do so and the creative processes so they like they always get a say in how their group is run the leader made sure they each got different vocal training to suit each of their individual voices....it's a really great group
Why do they never read the lyrics of OMG it's literally about a homosexual relationship😭😭😭😭 ugh like a lot of things would make sense when u get that its very obvious.....sorry if that came off a little mean.......but yeah the song is about the temptation of something forbidden soyeon the rapper and leader of the group said she wrote the song from a man's perspective and paints a picture of a beautiful girl with the face of an angel but she a demon .....BUUUUUT it's believed that its about a homosexual relationship ...considering the backlash the song would get given how homophobic the Korean entertainment industry is I think the hetro relationship story was a cover up
the lion holds the image of power, strengh and dominance, while the lionesses do hunt it is the male that protects the group (called a "Pride") and the females are submissive to him, theres only one "father" or alpha male in a group, the rest of the males are his children and they get expelled as soon as they reach the age when they wanna mate. When a leading lion loses its alpha position (in a fight) the winning lion either kills it or expels it, then kills all his male children in front of the mothers and proceeds to copulate with them to ensure is his blood lineage that is passed
I've watched your video several times and every time I'm delighted that you are so taken with (G)I-dle. They have been a fantastic group from day 1 and I love all 6 of them (yes, Soojin too).
Fist of all, I'm so glad that you got into (G)-I-DEL, they are my second favourite group in Kpop, I love their massages so much and Soyeon (the rapper) is just a genius I love her, I think she help writing and producing most of their songs! Second, 10:25 I think that's amazing it is not embarrassing at all! I think it's so great that you have your strength from within and lions were always an example of strong creature who can't be taking down easily, this can totally be your song! I love you, your work, and I think you are really smart and I hope for you to be someday somewhere suitable for someone like you.
So, the song ‘Tomboy’ is actually pretty much a diss to the stereotypes of Korea and as their original name is (G)I-DLE, the G in it stands for girl. In the song they sing “Just me IDLE” leaving the G because the stereotypes are that they should be girly and perfect, but gidle breaks this and shows they also have a masculine side. Then, a lot of people hated on Soyeon’s rap in the song because it was so random. But it’s actually about the accusations of their former member Soojin (who was kicked out). She was accused of bully!ng, @ss@ult, th€ft, under@g€ dr!nk!ng and sm0k!ng. The lyrics include most of these: “sometimes we swear without c!g@rette$” “I like to $€x” (uncensored version) “on drinking wh!skey”. (SORRY FOR ALL THE CENSORED WORDS HERE!!!) The fans said that the lyrics don’t make any sense which proves the point that Soojin’s allegations also didn’t make sense. This is as much as I know but there probably also is more meaning to the song.
Wow ur Oh my god interpretation is sooooo good!!! The song uses light and dark, purity and sin elements - to communicate the the idea that true divinity comes from knowing and trusting yourself hence the album title “I-Trust”. Oh my god, she took me to the sky," " Oh my god, she showed me all the stars," Minnie says is to leave the viewers wondering to whom are they referring - to themselves, or to love itself, which is a common motif across (G)I-IDLE’s discography And Soyeon also said "I didn't want to limit that 'she' to a certain being or a certain definition," she says. "So it's open to anything. I believe that all kinds of love are valuable and must be respected. That's why I don't want to limit 'she' to something specific."
16:00 are you a genius of some shit? That's exactly it. The album this is from is called I Trust. It is literally about finding self trust. Damn, you got it. Also,edit* Oh My God was interpreted by many to be about a relationship with a girl and the 'sin' of that. But, the meaning they gave (if you look in the mv description, there is a whole explanation), was them battling with in themselves and trying to come to terms with the dark parts of them, with the 'she" being themselves. Soyeon wrote a great song indeed.
This is the first time I've watch a very in-depth interpretation of their music videos. I hope everyone would watch your video in order to understand the meaning of their songs not just hating it for no reason.
I've started discovering their personalities soooo chaotic I love it WATCH HERE - www.patreon.com/Seoulconnection?
If only you reacted to my bag with their dance practice video 😭
"She's very significant" You couldn't have been more right. Soyeon is the leader, writer, and producer of the group(thou in total there are three producers among the members, Minnie and Yuqi as well as Soyeon). They are a self-made group all the way through, and Soyeon produced and wrote most part of their songs. Only talented queens in this group
Soyeon is also a HUGE contributor to KDA for lyrics etc, as Akali
@@brydiebray5017 Hmm, I'm almost a 100% sure she isn't credited for any lyrics of any KDA song. However she has written for other artist, like Namjoo's song 'Bird'. She has also contributed to the lyric of songs she's featured in, like Hyoyeon's song 'Dessert'.
@@uncommon_patata pretty sure she wrote most of Akali's raps, and co-wrote on More and Baddest at least. I'll see if I can find her credits.
@@brydiebray5017 I'm pretty sure she didn't, I was checking out her credits as well, they are not mentioned. I think Riot Games has the full credit over it. But if you can find anything please let me know!

@@marktuanentertainment1180 yesss 🥰
@@marktuanentertainment1180 idk where (g)-idle would be if soyeon wasnt in the group
@@sarangfied They would still be sitting in Cube's dungeon, waiting to debut.
The moment she said "She's intense" during Soojin's lion dance makes my heart flutter. Im proud of my girl
I actually miss her really much the way CUBE can't manage their idols is just so shit. She would have been amazing with the girls but I am happy how idle didn't change that much :)
Right! Soojin's stage presence is no joke!
@_JPF_K-POP_LOVE_FOREVER_ How do you know that Cube didn't manage the situation properly? We know only a part of the story and there's a saying according to which there is no smoke without fire. It's obvious that the rest of G-idle agrees with how Cube has managed the situation otherwise they wouldn't have made this comeback. Maybe Soojin didn't want to return, no one knows what really happened.
@@Johnny24rs The members agree with CUBE? Then we definitely have a different opinion on that.
What is there even of an option for the girls? They have to move on but that doesn't mean that they are completly okay with the situation.
The members give a lot of hints that they still see themselves as 6 members
@@Johnny24rs it's quite obvious cube didn't manage the situation properly, if g idle was in SM entertainment Soojin would still be part of the group but I don't really blame cube. Different companies have different ways of handling situations. It all depends on what the company prioritize
In 'My Bag' Soyeon says 'Red FIVE diamonds' which basically means she has the rest of the 5 members in her bag including Soojin (the member who was kicked out)
Oh, I like this interpretation, never thought of that, shame on me...
Soojin wasn't kicked out of the group, she left them becuz she believes her bullying scandal will drag the group down
༎ຶ‿༎ຶ
@@windyagustds_tangerine5238 Everyone has a different interpretation of the case because cube never gave a clear statement
We’re there always 6, or did they start with 7?
@@Cat-rk7qf uhh they were a 6 member group
A lot of ppl have contemplated the lyrics of Tomboy, and thought that especially Soyeons rap was crap. But a lot of nevies(fandom) have noticed that the lyrics are making a statement about Soojin getting kicked out of the group and the kpop industry and its crappy consernative standards.
Soojin was the 6th member, who sadly got kicked out of the group by their company after she had multiple scandals. A bullying scandal came first, where she was accused of being a bully in middle and high school, torturing her fellow classmates. It was proven false, one of the alleged victim's sister(who made a post accusing Soojin) was found to be a misunderstanding. Soojin wasn't the only idol to have a bullying scandal in early 2021, as multiple idols were accused, most being fake.
Then there were scandals about her smoking, drinking, and having sex when she was still underage. In Tomboys uncensored rap, Soeyen sings "sex on whiskey" and "without cigarettes" which correlate straight to Soojins scandals. Soojin did admit to smoking and drinking when underaged, and in the released statement she talked about how she isn't proud of it.
The whole lyrics also attack the industry. Female idols are supposed to be really conservative: cute and charming, well behaved, no smoking, no drinking, no love life with their life only dedicated to pleasing the fans, not too different, cant show too much or too little skin, no opinions of their own, no tattoos, not even crushes or finding other people attractive, obviously no LGBTQ unless its fan service. The whole song is basically just a fuck u to the industry and its standards for female idols. Soyeon raps "id rather film a TikTok" which pretty clearly is put there to show that this is a different generation, and connected with the song, it's pretty clearly saying that "fuck u and your standards, this is a different generation".
Just to update on Soojin: she was kicked out of the group, and the last knowledge of what we have of her is that she was in her grandmas' house in early 2021 after the scandals broke online.
Even more powerful then!
Soojin left so her scandal wouldn't affect her friends and probably under pressure from Cube. She didn't get kicked out explicitly but Cube likely heavily pressured her.
I miss Soojin...but man all the members are so talented!
Yesss
si
When you realize that Oh My God was written kinda like a prayer, it makes it hit even deeper...
Ohh tell me more
@@Yetti. soo, in the trailer, Minnie, (the girl with bangs) was praying to be freed from temptation, then towards the end she said she doesn't need divine help again because she isn't a 'sinner'. If you've watched Snow white - the cartoon version- you'll see that it ties to that as well
Oh My God has so much symbolism like you were noticing and they all have their own story. Soojin is the Temptress with the color Purple. and the whispering is Latin which roughly means from the "bottom of my heart"
@@sduncan2082 OH YEAH I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT THE WHISPERED WORDS WERE NORMALLY USED IN SPELLS- THANKS FOR INCLUDING THAT
I also don’t understand how so many people miss the very prominent sapphic undertones of this song
they just lost a member recently :( also, the G isn't usually said its just "idle" or "idol". Soyeon, the rapper, leader, writes, produces, decides pretty much everything on all their songs
sidenote, the intense one in Lion is Minnie, aka the thai connection aka BP's Lisa's good friend
No wonder she hit me hard 😆
You really need to watch the 1st season of Produce 101 and seen how Soyeon has grown ao much. She was also on Unpretty Rap Star
another fun fact, Miyeon is originally the 5th member of Blackpink but she was cut at the last minute bc she and JIsoo overlapped too much.
Wasnt she talking about Soojin she said the one that was on the right which is Soojin
I love that you caught how Soyeon uses a lot of the same symbolism (colors, burning up, flowers) in all of her lyrics! She’s definitely hit or miss for people, but I really like all of her songs and how well she uses all of their voices
26:36 I remembered when Soojin said that her main role in the group was to charm the girls
I miss her 😭😭
your interpretation of tomboy is on point and i can't believe people are missing on that ! I've been seeing people comment how they don't like the concept and it just shows girl boss and im like, its so clear what do you mean?
It's not girl crush anymore, it's girl boss now lol 😻
"There's five, one's left?" HA HA that broke my heart a little 🥲 Watching past performances with all 6 of them are already sad enough 😭
yes, soojin was kicked out from this group because she was accused of bullying in highschool, in last resulting she wasn't guilty, still their agency was a trash and didn't discuss anything about it, and kicked her out from this group. but technically she was in the group. but this month, her contract was terminated and she finally lets herself out from that crappy agency.
I really hope all the best for her, she definitely deserved better!
This isn't actually what happened. A FAMOUS ACTRESS accused Soojin of bullying and considering they were indeed in the same middle school, and the actress had spoken about being bullied in the past YEARS prior to the accusations, the public believed HER rather than whatever statement Soojin put out. Soojin's career had no chance of recovering from that and that's why Cube removed her from the group, and ended her contract in order to free Soojin from any obligations she had towards the agency. With an ongoing idol contract, it would have been extremely difficult for her to sign even a simple work contract, now she can at least go on with her life - keeping her signed would have been the cruel thing to do since she has no chance of coming back to the entertainment industry.
The reason why Cube waited until last week to end her contract is probably because they still had an ongoing defamation lawsuit with Soojin's first accusers (not the actress). They were only able to end her contract when the lawsuit was officially dismissed by the police (because of lack of evidence, they decided that the case couldn't proceed to court).
@@ashurasama well i was going to say that but i was actually lazy to describe everything but you wrote more, tq❤️
@@ashurasama she didn't really accuse Soojin more like Inserted herself 💀 because accusers sister said Soojin bullied SSA by putting cigarettes in her desk and stealing SSA's letter.... When that's far from the Truth because they never even talked to each other
@@lgt_jne The original accusers never mentioned SSA I dunno where you read that shit?
"Assured" is a big compliment considering LATATA is their debut song. To be fair, LATATA at the time was one of the strongest debuts in K-pop, receiving its first win only 20 days after debut (nowadays groups debut in a much stronger way I think).
Also yes, you are totally right about this not being Korean-proper kpop. This is a pretty risky video to talk about drinking and lol blending and poisoning a dude.
Soyeon supposedly came up with the whole mv concept to match the songs message, and she wanted to be really clear about their identity since they lost a member (not by their choice, she was let go after a scandal) and this is their first song as 5.
Let go after a trumped-up scandal, based on the word of one discredited accuser. No apology, no re-hire.
The LION rap about breaking prejudices really set the tone for (G)I-DLE's career from that point forward (although they've always been different from the start). LION later becomes part of their third mini album which is the first mini album in K-pop to be fully written by a woman (JEON SOYEON, the leader and rapper).
sorry but 'I made'? that album is produced by Soyeon. ahh you wrote "written". correct me if i'm wrong
@@enanarea In 'I Made', the last track 'Blow Your Mind' is co-written and co-composed by FlowBlow w/c is a prod. team composed of men. In 'I Trust', all songs are written solely by Soyeon and no other person.
I was really surprised with your interpretation of "Oh My God". The theory that most people have is about temptation and probably even obsession. The main lyrics are "Oh My God She(!) took me to the sky/Oh My God She(!) showed me all the stars" referring to obviously a woman. Soojin(the blonde girl with purple background) said her role in the MV is to be the temptation for the other girls...to make them fall in love with her. Soyeon(the rapper) is the one who wrote the whole song and she said "I believe that all kinds of love are valuable and must be respected." This song made a lot of waves and the LGBTQ community was really happy to hear it. It's honestly my favourite song, from the vocals/rap and the MV to what it represents
Ahhhhhhh
haha... for a second I thought, you had copied my post from earlier. I wrote something almost identical :D So... I totally agree with you! :) Just the last part is different: Tomboy is now my most favorite song by (G)I-DLE and overtook Oh My God...
@@Guthwulf11 i haven't read all the comments yet so I didn't mean to copy yours, it's a coincidence. I'm happy to hear that we have the same opinion tho :)
@@paulamaria3962 It's all good. I didn't want to imply that you copied my comment. Just found it a funny coincidence.
But she also mentioned that there're a lot of interpretations, and we can put any meaning in it. Like many sees in it a self-love message
With Tomboy, their whole concept was you cant hurt us no matter who you are, what you say, ect. this is their fist comeback without Soojin, who got kicked out because of a bullying accusation (from when she was 12 years old). they basically wanted to make a point of saying we don't care what you have to say because we're still strong and you will loose against us if you talk negatively about us. Their whole concept in general is about being strong women who don't pander to others expectations.
YES YES YES,SHE FINALLY DISCOVERED THE QUEENS
Minnie wrote,composed,co-produced Always,Escape and Yuqi wrote,co-composed,produced Polaroid and Liar and Soyeon their leader wrote,co-composed and involved in production of the rest of the tracks☺️!
If you mean on the last album "I never die" you're right. But actually Yuqi and Minnie involved in production of several other songs.
at 34:48
the tik tok phrase actually means she would rather film tik toks than stay in the "stereotypes the society fixed on girls, i.e., in the kitchen"
filming tik toks usually show how free/unoccupied you are
so she means she would rather do a senseless act than fit to your stereotype
OMG I LOVE THIS QUEEN
27:38 one of the members has just recently "left" (cube kicked her out) because of stupid rumors. Queendom had 6 of them its just the girl that did the breakdance at the beginning left after it and came back for the 2nd verse.

@@Circiely so what? She bullied and that’s the fact
Gidle are known for having a different and unique concept every comeback.
The message that Tomboy has is really good. as a female self produced and self made group (Which is almost non existent in the kpop industry) Gidle has always struggled to prove that you don't need to be a man to make your own music. Soyeon( The rapper and the writer and producer of this song and 90 percent of Gidle's discography) has talked about this so many times and how she thinks music doesn't have gender.(Which is the main theme of this song where they say it's neither man nor woman just me I-DLE)
In a male dominated society like Korea and industry like Kpop, I think this song (And this whole album) was a really risky move specially after one year of hiatus but nothing can stop these girls.
I'm proud honestly.
Thank you so much for the reaction and I hope you can react to more of them❤❤
Ngl everytime I watch the ‘Lion’ performance, I start crying. I get so hyped too. I’m just so goddamn proud of all of them. They are truly one of the most talented k-pop groups out there. OT6 forever ♾ ❤️

The realization that Soojin is missing I'm crying!!! She had to leave the group because of allegations. We will forever miss her. She's our precious cherry and dancing queen:( But thank you for checking our girls out!! Soyeon (main rapper/ leader) does write most of their songs and that's why all their tracks have deep messages!!!

Btw they were 6 in Queendom, she was kicked out recently this is their first cb without her
They also have 3 foreign members
OMG thank you for this!! I've been waiting for this. It's just sad that one member (Soojin) isn't part of the group anymore but they really slayed this one. Definitely, this comeback sparks their vengeance. It's like they're saying "WE WILL NEVER BACK DOWN"
Fun fact: Soyeon (the leader and main rapper) writes and produces majority of their songs. Minnie and Yuqi also took part in this comeback.
Love your reaction, you’re of the few people that really understands what soyeon means in “Tomboy”
so my first exposure to them was today, with their Tomboy comeback!! and i am OBSESSED. something about them...i think it's the self-producing thing, because (G)I-dle has hit me the same way Stray Kids hit me, and i think it's because each group seems to be their own genre of music, different from the rest of kpop.
i also see a lot of lgbt+ subtext in their work so far. i LOVE your analysis of Oh My God- you picked up on the religious themes immediately with the imagery and colors, which is amazing! i wasn't convinced until the direct lyrical references. I find Oh My God to be such a clear metaphor for queer sex/orgasm.
i also get a lot of lgtbt+ subtext in the tomboy mv as well- in addition to the incredibly intelligent analysis that you've done!
I LOVE your interpretation of 'Oh my god'! It really is a very poetic song, and one that can have multiple meanings. But I think Soyeon's original intention when she wrote this song was very much like what you said, which is looking deeper into oneself and seeing all the things that are "dark" or, in her rap, considered by society to be a "sin" but in the end accepting all of that anyway. The "she" originally refers to that deeper/other part of themselves.
A lot of people also interpret this as a forbidden love kind of thing between two women, which also makes A LOT of sense.
Soyeon is just on another level... Leader, producer, composer, songwriter n some of their song was produced, composed n wrote by the leader I mean the rapper . This make her unique 😘😘 n I miss soojin even more 😢😢
28:22 The line "I'm not interesten in money since I was born" comes from the fact that Minnie's family are almost royalty in Thailand, so she's super rich from birth.
Jeon Soyeon: Leader and Main rapper of (G)I-DLE... has written, composed, and produced about 80% (give or take) of their discography, with Minnie and Yuqi being about 15% for now because they're still getting into it a little more. 5% for the co-creditors just out of consideration.
Soyeon is also involved in stage arrangements and has been known to be involved in some choreographies as well.
The 6th member Soojin left after their comeback in early 2021 due to the bullying controversy (which wasn't proven). (G) I-dle is a special group. It started with Soyeon basically forming and writing the majority of their songs, but now as they get more experienced other members have started to produce as well
When you’re reacting to oh my god you talk about how it feels very personal and that’s because they do take part in writing, arranging and composing their discography!!
Soyeon, the leader and rapper, has written and produced most of their songs (all title tracks included) and recently Minnie and Yuqi have also started writing and producing for them, if you check out their albums you should definitely see the credits because those two have made some amazing b-sides :)
The whole group is super talented and even tho they’re very different people with different voices and singing styles the harmony in their music is always amazing, each one of them shines and its so refreshing to hear a group that brings so much diversity to the table, I really hope you keep reacting to more of their stuff :)
I loved Queendom and wouldn't take away anything from MAMAMOO's win, but clearly the group who slayed the hardest on that show as I-DLE. I don't think it's a coincidence that after Queendom, I-DLE's fan base tripled and suddenly their name was being spoken along side some of the industry's giants.
Soyeon, the main rapper is significant because every song you listened to here is her work, she's credited in the majority of idles discography. And the missing member, Soojin was excluded from group activities in August after being accused of bullying 10 years ago(when she was 14), her contract was released only about a week or two ago after a police investigation (I personally find it dumb that she was removed for things that happened when she was a kid, i'd feel different if the accusations were within the last few years, but the Korean public wasn't happy with her)
They are self-producing group. The lyrics, Instruments, etc. is all made by themselves. Especially Soyeon (The rapper and Leader), Minnie and Yuqi.
Loved this reaction. They do have a part in the writing and production so their music can be more personal. From what I understand of Oh My God is that it's a prayer-like song regarding each character's individual struggles with temptation and how the outside world judges them for it. Some of them overcome the negativity, others struggle with guilt and being torn between what they want and what they believe to be a sin and being shunned for it by society and one pays the ultimate price in the end.
It’s funny that u mention the girls in all black which is Soojin (the main dancer) & Yuqi (lead dancer) for their dancing. Good eye🥰
wow your interpretation about the last part of "tomboy" is spot on!
and also yes theres a pretty significant "anti-feminism" wave right now in korea so them coming back with tomboy and that mv quite surprised me
Soojin was my bias, I miss her SO much. Having Soojin and Soyeon in a group together was like having CL and HyunA together. It’s really such a shame but Soyeon is such a great producer that she made an album called “I never die” with the bops Tomboy & my bag after Soojin unfortunately had to leave the group... Soojin was main dancer 😭
same 💔 maybe she'll redebut as a sploist in the future?? like i miss her sm i don't want this to be the last of her 😕 but if she decides to stay out (which it seems she has so far) then that's ok too. but still argwjh
i see 5 members ,
but feel the presence of 6 members.
she is deep within their mind ,
she is deep within their Heart ,
she is deep within their Soul .
the Love , Passion and Flame 🔥of Soojin is always with them
oh my god is about falling in love with a girl, feeling guilty because of the way people around you sees it. Gay being bad. They sing about "her" being the temptaion, the one they let in and that is "beautiful but still like a devil"
its a love song with a dark characher
fun fact: miyeon, 13:02, 18:06 was actually almost a member of BLACKPINK
Love your analysis of their lyrics! They definitely intentionally defy typical standards and expectations for girl groups as a self-produced group
Huge respect especially with how feminism is looked down upon in South Korea
i love how you understand the message behind "TOMBOY" 🖤 (a lot of people misunderstood it)
Fun facts about (g)idle related to blackpink:
- minnie is from thailand just like lisa and they both are friends.......last year (or this year i dont remember) they went together to twice concert
- miyeon was close to being blackpink's 5th member, so she is close to the girls and they still talk ( actually when lisa went to the twice concert she went with other members of gidle too, they shared van and everything)
And then sure there are more facts but thats all i can recall by memory right now
I'm Brazilian and I love your reactions, and oddly enough I'm improving my English with you, your accent is so beautiful, and your way of reacting to things enchants anyone, you react with so much emotion and show that you are sincere, I just LOVE it!

(Btw the G in (G)-Idle is silent so it’s just pronounced as Idle or Idol.) My Bias is Minnie but the other members always fight over the bias wrecker position:)
Actually I heard about (G)-Idle when I searched the actors from the drama “So not worth it” (definitely underrated, comedy gold and a recommendation) and found out about Minnie, then about the group. And how can I say it… I’m hooked now lmao. But thank u for enjoying their music
Soyeon is SPECIAL. Bet she runs a top, if not the top label before she ends her time in the music business.
finally omggg (g)-idle!! they are self-produced not only in lyrics but also production esp by their leader soyeon with occasional tracks made by other members minnie and yuqi (even though they do work with other producers). their message is authentic and they are crackheads with duality LOLL! also everyone has a unique vocal color that is so powerful so you seriously grow to love them individually but also together as a group! also this list is a perfect introduction to (g)-idle! in lion, oh my god, and latata, they still had soojin, but after this comeback with tomboy and my bag, soojin is no longer in the group anymore :(. lolll (g)-idle is just bold and i think everyone has issues with feminism but we love the savagery and fierceness from them!
My personal interpretation of Oh My God has always been about lesbianism in relation to religion. A lot of people think the song is about obsession, but it think that from a different perspective, it can be more of a love song. The first lines of the song seem sweet, “beneath the dazzling sky covering my eyes, I run into your arms,” before it transitions to Soyeon’s verse where she begs to be set free. This, to me, feels like the beginning of her self-realization, when she’s only just figured out that she’s in love with another woman and she’s terrified because she’s only ever been taught that it’s sinful to be queer. Then the lyrics transition to an internal debate. “You destroy my reason and let yourself in,” the speaker here is blaming the woman she’s fallen for. “Dangerous and yet I want to own it and hold onto this pain,” here she’s realizing how badly she wants this love. And the chorus, of course, is just detailing the way that this newfound love is making her feel things she’s never felt before. Soojin’s verse is where she starts to accept herself a bit and enjoy her new relationship. Soyeon’s rap is her panic as she realizes she isn’t supposed to love women and she contemplates wether it’s worth it to go to hell for this love, eventually deciding to abandon her fear of sin in order to love the woman she wants to be with. Miyeon’s verse is her wondering how this beautiful woman she’s in love with could ever possibly be evil and Yuqi’s verse is her choosing to get burned in the name of love. Shuhua’s verse is her full self-acceptance, ending with my favorite line, “and whatever people say, fall in love”.
Stan this unique, talented visial group! they always come back with something completely different. are different from the rest of gbads. nice that you noticed such details in the lyrics and the interpretation
Yuqi rapping in Tomboy? I. Here for it. Yuqi remains my forever bias.
Idle is a completely Self-produced group, they write, produce and compose all their music. Along with proposing/directing the concepts and visual designs for all their Music Videos, they don’t only have a hand in the creation process, they are the process. Their leader Soyeon, she has written and produced most of their discography, all the songs you reacted to here are hers. Then we also have Minnie and Yuqi who also write, produce and compose, their songs are mostly part of the b-sides for their albums. We call them the ‘Producer Line.’ This group is incredibly talented and although they get some support from their agency, is very much them who carry the group. Thankfully the agency give them the creative freedom, because they have proved themselves with hit after hit. They are not afraid to touch on deep and even controversial topics in their writing. Love them so much!
In oh my god soyeon thought why would we always use "he" so they wrote the song to a "she" thats why the lyrics was like "if its a sin im ready for the punishment" and stuff like that. Soyeon is one of the best songwriters in the industiry and knows how to compliment other memebers unique voices.
27:47 hard topic for us, she didn't leave she was made to leave because cube didn't defend her like they should've! I want her back😭
Wow I’m actually really surprise on how you described perfectly the meaning of all songs at the first listening and capture the exact elements that express the meanings of the songs, love your interpretation too!
if you didn't notice the last walk in Lion was an indication of them being queens thus the walk being more powerful but not as intense.
Yeah the reason soojin left g idle is because she was getting a lot of hate because there where accusations that she used to be a bully in high school it’s sad because she was the main dancer
The rapper girl, who’s also the leader, produces most of their songs. They’re a sled-productive group.
The very sensual girl, who you said knows the hip dance, left the group after some bullying scandal.
Fun fact: Two of the G Idle Members voices the characters in KDA mv. I recommend y’all watching if you haven’t seen it yet.
I recommend watching More by KDA and pop/star. ❤️
Soyeon's verse in Lion ALWAYS gives me goosebumps. Without fail.
Oh My God is about the stigma of gay/lesbian relationships in their culture and others obviously, Minnie is growing insane with the desire for a woman but struggling with the "consequences" Yuqi walks in that dreamy corridor like to her this woman/woman relation is so dreamy. Miyeon Shows the more "innocent" side of the relation ship. Soojin shows the aspect of the sensuality and seductiveness.
Soyeon from the starts seems to be accepting the fate of it all and "walking towards it". Then her rap part literally shows that she embraces it even with the stigma/consequences. Then you see her in some mudd/blood wich represents some kind of rebirth into a fully acceptence of who she is.
The only part im not 100% about is Shuhua.
Shuhua's part is represented more by the background colours. White for purity and innocence, her not falling into temptation. And the waves of purple being the same as Soojin's background (Soojin is the one who tempts them) so she is falling in love hence Shuhua's lyric "fall in love". There is another scene with Soojin pulling Shuhua for a kiss(or just pulling her close) witch also has purple background
@@paulamaria3962 yes exactly what i thought but prefered not saying since i wasent sure i was right 😂😂😂 thank you so much for confirming tho
Im pretty sure shuhua is about her being tempted by soojin and failing to not be tempted hence the line "whatever people say fall in love" and then being pulled in close by soojin. But everyone is being also tempted by soojin at the same time, but shuhua was the only person to fail and end up getting pulled in.
The rapper of the group wrote thy lyrics of thier approx all song .
30:16 that part in “My Bag” is actually Miyeon singing!!!
Well the album is named i never die 36:19
gidle are the group that have everything for me. My fav group since day 1 they debuted.
Soyeon have been on many survival show such as 'unpretty rapstar' and 'produce101' . people judge heri voice her cace, but what i saw is she never giveup, mostly all gidle song composed by her. she's full of ideas that people can't expect.
Minnie voice are so underrated , but everytime she's singing i always get goosebumps. I really like 'Dahlia' by gidle. all songs in hwaa album really really good. Miyeon when she's singing ballad , she really shine but not everyone saw it. the fact she's one of blackpink lineup before bp debuted. Soojin dancing and expression OMG THIS ONE ! no one can replace her gaze , her movement when dancing, she's a diamond but the company didn't save her. I'm so sad she got into bully scandal (there's no proof) but she left the group 😭 Shuhuaaaa for me is the one who make this group always happy. Her existence is perfect hahaha. I cant describe her. I love her expression, they way shuhua talk, they way she dance. Shes sooo elegant innocent sexy cutie hahaha
Lastly they all crackhead and so chaos 😭😂 No one can stop them being crazy HAHAHAHA. You can just watch any variety show and youll understand this 😂
I've been listening their songs since debut and I really like how they manage to surprise me everytime. They don't do always the same thing, but every comeback has a different concept. The members have a special bond and I'm really happy because I hope one day they will have their own company because Cube sucks.
No one can replace g idle queendom performance, soyeon really did a great job..
Soyeon is a little human ahahaha she is short, but she is big on stage and in the industry. One of the best female rappers to me and the cutest one ahahah
the rapper is actually Jeon Soyeon, one of the best rappers in K-pop (the best in girl groups in my opinion). she also writes Idle's songs and is one of the producers of the group, I'm such a fan!
I just watched your reaction for the first time and I'm actually pretty late haha but I have to say that you're really smart! The way you explained Tomboy was really nice and it could have that kind of meaning but in reality it talks about something deeper. The song and probably the whole album have to do with ex Idle member (Soojin).
As we can see at 31:49, Minnie mentions a tattoo and Soojin is known for having a few tattoos done. At 32:07, if you pay attention you can hear Soojin's adlibs while Soyeon is singing which means that this specific "why are you cranky boy" part was going to be Soojin's (they recorded the song last year near the end of winter and Soojin was still kind of part of the group so she was probably part of the recording as well). Soyeon who also writes/produces most of Idle's songs, was smart and left Soojin's adlibs so we know which parts she would've gotten if she was still in the group and im also guessing she left them there because she wants to show that Idle will always be six and because the song would feel pretty empty without hearing at least a little bit of her voice in it. I personally wondered why the song doesn't sound that empty without Soojin but that's when i realized the adlibs in the background and I understood.
Now, at 34:14, Soyeon speaks about the allegations made against Soojin "Sometimes we swear without cigarettes, I like to eh on drink and whiskey i won't change it what the hell", (An actress accused Soojin of smoking, drinking and also bullying her but don't worry none of this is true, later the actress said that she wasn't even sure if Soojin was part of the group that bullied her and yet destroyed such talented Idol's career.. I'm not even gonna talk about this actress but Soojin literally had to beg her father to become an idol and I can't imagine how she feels now that she got kicked out.) Soojin admitted of smoking once or a few times but she never bullied anyone or anything like that. Plus, she was still in what.. middle school? High school? We all make stupid mistakes in life, especially at scuh age yet the company was soooo dumb and kicked her out, they really can't handle scandals and always destroy their idols instead of protecting them. No wonder the girls made a whole album talking about this situation, they're mad and it shows.
You can also see that she says "I like to dance, I love my friends" and that's no coincidence because Soojin was Idle's main dancer hence why she likes to dance and of course she loves her friends a lot. Also, something i pointed out is that, the whole mv has colors like red, that could just be because of the concept but red is also Soojin's color so that's another thing to pay attention to. Last but not least, I forgot where but Soyeon mentions having FIVE members with her or something like that so let's count that in. The girls loved Soojin a lot and I' pretty sure Soojin did too. It's sad that such talent went to waste, I just wish they could move to another company and be together again.
Something that worries me is that Soojin is nowhere to be seen, no one has seen her outside or anywhere at all, she doesn't even have any social media so no one knows what has happened with her, let's just hope she's doing fine and recovering from all of this because she looks like a very sensitive person, this might've literally been traumatic for her at some point. I remember one time when she was live and a miserable, ugly person made a comment on her face saying that she looked ugly and a few seconds later Soojin just ended the live, she looked really sad. It's such a shame idols have to go through so much. For example, the lyrics of Tomboy also talk about breaking free and doing whatever you want, act and talk however you want. It's not really about the styling/dressing. You know when people say things like "sit like a lady" "talk like a lady" "act like a man" and stuff but that's so stupid isn't it? There's literally no thing such as "sitting like a lady" or "acting like a man" and that's basically another thing they're trying to prove with this song.
I'm sorry for the very long paragraphs but i hope this made sense because i feel like an explanation like this, especially for new Idle fans, was needed. Have a good day/night! 💖
You are one of the few people who understand the point of Tomboy. A lot of people criticized the song because they were not dressed as "tomboys".
Oh my god !!!! I can believe your thoughts about ohmygod because it’s truly true and that’s what the song about . Oh my god your genius
Bro this is the best gidle reaction no caps, all good interpretation
This is the first time I came across an on point reaction to Oh My God!! The way you react to videos is my style, I love it! You pause to make sure you won't miss anything instead of talking over while video plays. You also provide very sensible thoughts. I'm glad I found you. Most will say it's about being lesbian but I agree with you. it's a journey and like a prayer on how to fight with their inner desires (which could be anything like what Soyeon said. It can be being lesbian or anything that you think is sinful).
I just so love you. New subscriber here! More power to your channel. ❤️
soyeon the rapper of the group is also a leader and main composer and lyricist of all idle releases, Members like Minnie and Yuqi is also write their own songs for bsides
yeah... Soyeon, the rapper, writes most of their songs. I've never heard such a strange interpretation for "oh my god". Maybe I misunderstood you. But the lyrics literally say what it is about. The most common interpretation is something like this: Its about sin and temptation (red standing for lust, passion, desire, black for corruption and white for innocence, purity). The central line being "She (!) took me to the sky ... she showed me all the stars". Most of the members lyrics are in the vein of: "nothing can pull me away from your embrace ... you may be poison, but sure as hell taste like honey... losing all my senses when you pull me close... I can't control this desire". Only Sojiin (the blonde girl with the purple background) has lines like: "baby, baby If you rush into me (!), come in, make me make me" and she is shown at one point holding an apple (biblical reference) as well as whispering during the bridge into the ear of one of the other members, pulling her closer. So... Soojin is the temptation or the sin and the other girls are in different states of falling for her, "letting (her) in". The LGBT community has gone crazy for this song ;)
actually their was 6 members in lion, the member that left was soojin and she left in 2021 August, and tomboy was their first comeback without her
"their the same writer, all the songs are about burning up" wait till she realizes there's a song called fire
Minnie!!!!!! G-Idle has a signature sound they put in every song, I noticed. They are giving Blackpink a run for their money & I love Blackpink!!!!
Soyeon never disappoints
I'm still processing their Savagery, Queendom and messages!!!!
Join my discord to chat about them @discord.gg/bnpsTxdeH4
What’s your discord I can’t find it?
The co-write and produce their own. Songs the leader of the group make sure they have a lot of freedom with the things they do so and the creative processes so they like they always get a say in how their group is run the leader made sure they each got different vocal training to suit each of their individual voices....it's a really great group
Why do they never read the lyrics of OMG it's literally about a homosexual relationship😭😭😭😭 ugh like a lot of things would make sense when u get that its very obvious.....sorry if that came off a little mean.......but yeah the song is about the temptation of something forbidden soyeon the rapper and leader of the group said she wrote the song from a man's perspective and paints a picture of a beautiful girl with the face of an angel but she a demon .....BUUUUUT it's believed that its about a homosexual relationship ...considering the backlash the song would get given how homophobic the Korean entertainment industry is I think the hetro relationship story was a cover up
the lion holds the image of power, strengh and dominance, while the lionesses do hunt it is the male that protects the group (called a "Pride") and the females are submissive to him, theres only one "father" or alpha male in a group, the rest of the males are his children and they get expelled as soon as they reach the age when they wanna mate. When a leading lion loses its alpha position (in a fight) the winning lion either kills it or expels it, then kills all his male children in front of the mothers and proceeds to copulate with them to ensure is his blood lineage that is passed
red suggests passion, and lust
Yuqi's verse on My Bag is one of my favorite raps in Kpop. I love her voice.
The fact you can tell the soyeon is involved in the music! Haha yes she writes and produces all their songs!
U should see the my bag showcase 🔥🔥
Been waiting so long for this!!!! Soyeon is a beast...a Lion even... but so, so, so amazing! Such a Queen!
I've watched your video several times and every time I'm delighted that you are so taken with (G)I-dle. They have been a fantastic group from day 1 and I love all 6 of them (yes, Soojin too).
Fist of all, I'm so glad that you got into (G)-I-DEL, they are my second favourite group in Kpop, I love their massages so much and Soyeon (the rapper) is just a genius I love her, I think she help writing and producing most of their songs!
Second, 10:25 I think that's amazing it is not embarrassing at all! I think it's so great that you have your strength from within and lions were always an example of strong creature who can't be taking down easily, this can totally be your song! I love you, your work, and I think you are really smart and I hope for you to be someday somewhere suitable for someone like you.
Just love how you explain their conception!🥺
So, the song ‘Tomboy’ is actually pretty much a diss to the stereotypes of Korea and as their original name is (G)I-DLE, the G in it stands for girl. In the song they sing “Just me IDLE” leaving the G because the stereotypes are that they should be girly and perfect, but gidle breaks this and shows they also have a masculine side. Then, a lot of people hated on Soyeon’s rap in the song because it was so random. But it’s actually about the accusations of their former member Soojin (who was kicked out). She was accused of bully!ng, @ss@ult, th€ft, under@g€ dr!nk!ng and sm0k!ng. The lyrics include most of these: “sometimes we swear without c!g@rette$” “I like to $€x” (uncensored version) “on drinking wh!skey”. (SORRY FOR ALL THE CENSORED WORDS HERE!!!) The fans said that the lyrics don’t make any sense which proves the point that Soojin’s allegations also didn’t make sense. This is as much as I know but there probably also is more meaning to the song.
Wow ur Oh my god interpretation is sooooo good!!!
The song uses light and dark, purity and sin elements - to communicate the the idea that true divinity comes from knowing and trusting yourself hence the album title “I-Trust”. Oh my god, she took me to the sky," " Oh my god, she showed me all the stars," Minnie says is to leave the viewers wondering to whom are they referring - to themselves, or to love itself, which is a common motif across (G)I-IDLE’s discography And Soyeon also said "I didn't want to limit that 'she' to a certain being or a certain definition," she says. "So it's open to anything. I believe that all kinds of love are valuable and must be respected. That's why I don't want to limit 'she' to something specific."
omg yeti ... i didn't know that u were gonna uplaod this ...but I'm so down for more awesomeness .. i literally love them 😅especially soyeon
16:00 are you a genius of some shit? That's exactly it. The album this is from is called I Trust. It is literally about finding self trust. Damn, you got it.
Also,edit* Oh My God was interpreted by many to be about a relationship with a girl and the 'sin' of that.
But, the meaning they gave (if you look in the mv description, there is a whole explanation), was them battling with in themselves and trying to come to terms with the dark parts of them, with the 'she" being themselves.
Soyeon wrote a great song indeed.
This is the first time I've watch a very in-depth interpretation of their music videos. I hope everyone would watch your video in order to understand the meaning of their songs not just hating it for no reason.
