I read comments that said 'Queencard' originated from a korean slang 'Kwinka' and it's a term that's used to describe popular or hot girls. And if you noticed, the way they were singing Queencard (or Kwinka) is with nuance to sound like one or the other. This info definitely made me appreciate the music better.
apparently it's also how the movie Mean Girls was marketed in south korea, too. it translated to "how to survive as a queencard" or something along those lines. so many great references.
@@hagathachristiewhich was a direct reference to the book that inspired Tina Fey to write Mean Girls: "Queen Bees and Wannabes: a guide to survive...".
@@Ocean722 I understand your view and I agree (partly). Since kpop (or the music industry in general) are getting more and more saturated, everyone need to have their own strategy and approach in creating hits. Some sacrifice in the writing so they can make catchy songs so as you said, catchy but the lyrics seem to make no sense or actually don't make any sense. But then there are also groups that really go deep into the writing, discuss important matters like mental health and self love just to name a few, that really deserved to be appreciated. So it's not fair to say all kpop is the same. From what I discover in kpop culture, upon every comeback for like a new album or mini album, they will have a single track known as the 'title track' that is made intended to be the hit song to go global, get into charts and all to make noise which is good for their marketing. Title track is where they try to be most experimental, out of the box, different sounding, crazy choreography, when compared to others in order to establish their brand (hence why some are willing to go to the extent of not having good written lyrics but really catchy tunes). Those who discover the title track might end up paying attention to explore the rest of the stuffs in the comeback which tend to be more "normal" sounding, actual good lyrics, good message, more expressive, made for a better cause, etc. But there are also title tracks that do these things better than the other tracks in the album. Some encapsulate the message of the album as a whole and also set the tone or vibe for the rest of the tracks. This is why kpop is very interesting to me because even if I don't like it because of the lyrics (let's say it doesn't make sense), I might still like it for the dance, video production, concept, design elements, personalities of the members, the message they're expressing, and more. But this is from me who pays a lot of attention in different aspects of kpop and I totally understand your view as I used to think the same before I started to dive into kpop and understand better.
allergy and queencard are connected and when i watched both of them back to back, i am literally saying i cried when i read the "i feel you" at the end As a girl with insecurities about the way i look, i felt so comforted that i am not alone in this and that they see and feel us. After this comeback gidle gained a new level of respect for me
@@anabellahallabrin8048 yes me too coz lyrics weren't uploaded yet when i first watched queencard then i watched a reaction video of allergy queencard back to back and suddenly i was crying i realised i may appear happy on the outside but deep inside this is such a sensitive and close topic to me that it hit a nail when idle conveyed this message out so well
'I feel' is title of G-Idle sixth mini album, released the same day as this MV. This time, Soyeon used a concept of a TV show (that's why the previously in the beginning) and before the songs and MVs were released, there was a lot of material in the form of little episodes introducing the characters, their relationships and hinting on the storyline portraited in the MVs: 'Allergy' (pre-release) and Queencard (title). Queencard MV in fact is a direct continuation of 'Allergy', where SY (a self conscious, self deprecating version of Soyeon) finds herself desesperatedly trying to look like the popular girls, especially Minnie (who's like in the top of the social piramid) in order to be able to feel good about herself. Her arc ends with her going to get plastic surgery to do so. Meanwhile, what SY doesn't see is that every girl she looks up to have their own insecurities and self hatred. Like Minnie is depressed and lonely in real life contrasting her online persona. Miyeon, who Yuqi and Shuhua idolize, envies Minnie and wants desperately to feel loved. Yuqi and Shuhua don't feel good enough by themselves and want to be like Miyeon. So the Queencard storyline is basically Soyeon getting delirious with her anesthesic drugs before her surgery, when she finally understands that the only things that make one a Queenca is self love and confidence. At the end of the MV when she leaves the clinic after giving up the surgery, she realizes that people already liked her for whom she was, only she couldn't see before. Queencard was a slang used in the early 2000s in the US and currently popular in Korea. It basically means queenbee. In Korea the term -pronounced "Queenca" - was popularized as the title of Mean Girls. So the MV brings a lot of references like the battle dance from White Chicks. Soyeon has stated that she took a lot of inspiration from 2000's movies and fashion (you can see in the Y2K vibe, the old cellphones etc) and if you wantch 'Allergy' you'll see even more. She also said she wanted to make a song on the playful side.
A little late, but they were also recently featured on Dingo's "Killing Voice". It was amazing to see them run live vocals through their primary discography in 20 minutes.
I love the songs (G)-Idle has been releasing recently because people have been making edits about other idols who have been victims to shaming (particularly body shaming) and these lyrics are really calling it out!!!
3:31 Funny that you mention Mean Girls 'cus not only is the song, MV, concept etc. giving off that vibe, but as we can hear, they (purposefully) mispronounce Queencard by not including the final "rd" sound; the Korean word for "popular/hot girl" which is highlighted in Mean Girls is "퀸카" which is pronounced as Queen-ca, and the Korean title for the Mean Girls movie (퀸카로 살아남는 법) translates to "How to Survive as a Queenca." To think, there was once a time when Soyeon was planing on taking a step back from music this August... thankfully, she is now set on 30yo being her stopping point, though hopefully she will extend it even further as she gets closer 'cus I am NOT ready for a Soyeon-less kpop scene 🤐😩
This is a part of their first full length album called I feel and when you saw the beginning saying previously it was the bside that they released like two weeks before queencard the videos are sharing the same storyline the first having more of the insecure self than queencard being more confident of their self no matter what
that "mean girl" vibe you're getting is a reference to the dance battle scene in the movie White Chicks! the protaganists' girl group vs the popular mean girls face off in the club and make headlines in the morning (similar to her waking up to those social media comments in the mv)
I love how you analyze the songs, find the details and explain the meaning. Totally agree with you, I think le (g)-idle is a kpop group that presses on a meaning and conveys it, without masks.
i just started stanning gi-dle and so ive been watching various reactions and gotta say i really like yours! you talk about the music AND the lyrics which i appreciate. will have to check your channel out more!
if you notice throughout the MV the mirror shots and pans keep making switches where it'll be one gidle member and suddenly its soyeon, and vice versa, showing how soyeon envied what the other girls had and wanted to be like them bc she felt she wasnt pretty or hot or wanted enough, but in the end the girls loved her as herself
This song definitely grew on me and now I can’t get it out of my head 😅. Would love to have you break down joppin-superm , jessie - cold blooded, nunu nana, nct dream - glitch mode, beatbox
At the end, that wasn’t her after the party last night, the party was in her mind while she was under for plastic surgery, at the end was her waking up and leaving the plastic surgery table without getting the procedure, realizing she didn’t need plastic surgery to feel good about herself and her looks
Bro, when are you going do XG’s TAPE 3A (beat: Two Tens by Cordae and Anderson Paak) & 3B (beat: Nothin’ by N.OR.E. and Neptunes). You’ll the classic rap vibes!!! Can you catch all the references??

Ren: What you want
It is a early 90s type song, think you would enjoy it
The new album like series the first ep is Allergy
The second ep queen card
You should react allergy first
Bite me by enhypen or Super by seventeen
allergy by gidle
after watching allergy you'll realise the underlying context of queencard and everything will make more sense 🩷
See Part 1, Allergy, first.
And you have to look at the second part, the QUEENCARD.
Next. (G)I-DLE killing voice.

No disrespect but I think kpop songs has no meaning but just a bunch of random lyrics added to catchy tunes.

Trueeee!! When I watched both videos, the end of Queencard hit different 😢
I cried at I Feel You too. It was just the perfect ending to these two songs.
for real, they make me feel so empowered

Yup, this and Allergy' s MVs got a lot of references of 2000' movies, like mean girls, legally blonde and white chicks
gidle the self-producing queens
You need to listen to more of them. Soyeon is currently one of the best rappers in the industry.
Also their songwriter.
Jennie and Lisa from Blackpink are better.
@@daniklang2646for you sure
@@daniklang2646 haha lol here comes a hater
@@mstsalehanowshad1341 I'm not a hater i like both Blackpink and (G)IDLE but in my opinion Jenny and Lisa are better in rapping.
Their song allergy connects to this story, you should check it out as well :)
I love the songs (G)-Idle has been releasing recently because people have been making edits about other idols who have been victims to shaming (particularly body shaming) and these lyrics are really calling it out!!!
The dance off reminds me of that scene in 'white chicks' 😂😂

Thank you for reacting 💜❤️
My girls are so talented
B-side tracks in the album is so good too. Will see you react them.
See Part 1, Allergy, first.
And you have to look at the second part, the QUEENCARD.
Petition for Knox to do the Queencard dance challenge
G-Idle is more than a GG, they’re a movement against the haters. Keep going girls🎉
(G)-Idle is awesome
soyeon always coming with the great message
This wouldve made more sense if you'd reacted to Allergy (part 1) ThEN Queencard (part 2) :3
it wouldve been cool to see you react to both in order
These people are apparently allergic (no pun intended) to google and to basic context about what they react to.
This is a part of their first full length album called I feel and when you saw the beginning saying previously it was the bside that they released like two weeks before queencard the videos are sharing the same storyline the first having more of the insecure self than queencard being more confident of their self no matter what

Do you react Allergy? This track is the previous I feel of Queencard.
I would to see you talk about music of Allergy too.
I love how you analyze the songs, find the details and explain the meaning. Totally agree with you, I think le (g)-idle is a kpop group that presses on a meaning and conveys it, without masks.
I personally like Allergy more than Queencard. 😊
Same but at the end of day there both my favorite gidle songs
In my case, I like both, I don't have a favorite one 😅. But both are good!
i like allergy lyrics wise and queencard dance wise
both are constantly stuck in my head these days
Same
Same
always love the gidle reactions!
Any chance reacting to the 2 new XG tapes, they rap on 2 cool ass hip hop beats from artists you know. I think you'll enjoy it Knox!
I think you would like the song 'Oh-My god' by G-idol. That also some pretty deep meaning and really amazing beats
i just started stanning gi-dle and so ive been watching various reactions and gotta say i really like yours! you talk about the music AND the lyrics which i appreciate. will have to check your channel out more!
Can't go wrong with some G-idle!
1:27 as a stan od (G)- IDLE I find this very funny XDD

02:06 you are right!!! Just a few fans notice that!
thank you for ur reaction 😍😍
The amount of people who didn’t immediately see the homage to White Chicks is saddening 😭
他のグループやソロでもたまにありますが、今回のミニアルバムはプレのallergy とQUEENCARDが２つで一つの曲＆MVと言う作りになってます。
I-DLEは特にソヨンがPD＆統括責任者で「完全なアーティスト・グループ」として活動方針や曲作り＆MV作りをして様々なメッセージが込められているので、teaser、プレ、タイトルトラックと言う流れが一般的ですが全部に意味がある場合が多いのでタイトル曲＆MVが公開させる前に知っておいた方がより理解出来ると思います。
At the end, that wasn’t her after the party last night, the party was in her mind while she was under for plastic surgery, at the end was her waking up and leaving the plastic surgery table without getting the procedure, realizing she didn’t need plastic surgery to feel good about herself and her looks
would've prefered a reaction to older G IDLE songs like Uh-Oh or HWAA but great youre still reacting to them 🙂
I definitely think you should react to Oh My God, Soyeon's rap there is great, and the concept is really good, many things to dissect
6:06 that’s just science 😂😂😂😂😂
3:40 I think is a reference to white chicks xd
Blackpink typa girl remix Coachella

I feel ( the title of the album) not I fill… but I get it, Soyeon’s accent can be hard to understand sometimes.

NCT needs more attention
Gotta say, I'm loving the baseball cap.
I know this has nothing to do with the current song but I just found leaked Eminem from 2007. Search king mathers
