The song hits different when you understand all the references! Some references you might’ve missed:
-yeppi yeppi was a reference to betty boop
-minnie’s pink gown, miyeon in a movie conference, soyeon dress in rap scene, yuqi white dress, shuhua green dress are all marilyn monroe references
-soyeon’s cone bra is referencing to madonna’s iconic outfit
-the book soyeon was holding was “Leaves of Green” which Marilyn also read
-the chorus outfits and stage referencing to Moulin Rouge
-the chorus instrumental is sampled from “Habanera” from Bizet’s opera “Carmen”
-and yes the Banksy reference “Girl with Balloon”, the shredded drawing was symbolic and can be related to objectification of women in the MV
I knew it! I knew that was the Carmen! Thank you.
7:40 Brief Korean lesson here: '예ㅃ- [yepp~]' is a Korean etymon (word root) meaning 'pretty'. It alone cannot constitute a word, but by adding appropriate suffices we can derive many useful words like '예쁘다 [yeppeuda] (pretty)', '예쁨 [yeppeum] (prettiness)', '예쁜이 [yeppeuni] (pretty person)' and etc. Minnie introduces her name as '예삐예삐 [Yeppi Yeppi]', which actually isn't a word but many Koreans can instantly guess its meaning as 'Pretty girl' or 'Cutie'.
+Some people who seek Soyeon's intention behind this choice of word say that Yeppi Yeppi is shoutout to Aespa's song, and others say that it's an homage to Betty Boop's Yippie-Yip.
I knew a little bit about the root word, but this is so cool!
Thanks for sharing~
Betty Boop was indeed in her PowerPoint along marilyn when she showed us in tomboy era what would come next, so I don't think it's anything atbout aespa, just their fans that wanna bring something. they're not getting spired only by monroe as you can see the banksy (?) references.
추가적으로 말하자면 yeppi[예삐]는 한국에서 인간[man]에게 순종적이고 작은 품종의 (일반 적으로 귀엽게 생긴) 강아지에게 흔히 붙이는 이름입니다. 즉, 이 mv에서 yeppi[예삐]는 남성[man]에게 의지하는 여성을 상징하기도 합니다.
I legit thought Shuhua was Yuqi for a second when she started singing during the first chorus until she came onscreen and it became clear whose voice that was. Holy balls, Shuhua sounds amazing now, and she has SO MANY LINES. She also looks insane, as if I even need to mention that. This is her era, without question.
Essentially, girls talk about how women are often only seen through their looks and appearance in media, much like Marilyn who was this beautiful, most wanted woman in the world but men didn't like when she spoke her mind about anything and just wanted her for her flawless beauty, more like some luxury item than a real human. In Minnie's first verse she sings "Slightly dumb the way I talk, but I've got sexy, sexy figure", which shows that people aren’t really intersted in her personality or intelligence as long as she's pretty.
The whole concept of "nudity" here is really smartly put out. Girls are "nude" in the emotional level, when they shows their real selves and not just their celebrity personas. Soyeon in her rap calls out all of the creeps that came to the MV and expected real nudity. She also points out how "nudity" in our society is only viewed as sexual or vulgar and that's why she want us to think "outside the box".
Hope that this messy explenation helped in any way! Also I'm sorry if there are any mistakes, English is my second language 😅
Man shuhua recently, I’m like that’s yuqi or that’s miyeon and then it’s shuhua that’ll be singing.
Same, Shuhuas voice in this is insane, the first time I heard it I was like who the hell is that? and then she pops into frame. Definitely channeling her inner minnie/yuqi and I am here for it.
for "yeppi yeppi" there's actualy alot referrences someone said who is a korean that "yeppi" means "bimbo" or "yeppi" have to do with "pretty" in. korean slang words but "yeppi yeppi" is also a shoutout to betty boop(like marilyn a cartoon chara who looks sexually attractive but a silly woman) since soyeon is imitating her in how she sings on that intro and
"lorerei" is a beautiful german maiden who threw herself in rhine river because of a faithless lover and was transformed to a siren who lured fishermen to destruction
and I also think that cartoon character is jessica rabbit since she's also a sex symbol like marilyn
two songs with deep feminist messages from an idol gg is just so dope to see. the discussion of the objectification and sexualization of women. Women as a product to be consumed in the way that makes other people comfortable either in the most sexual way or in a purity culture mindset as well. Not wanting to hear our ideas, only our looks. So much to unpack here and I love it. Banksy shredding his art RIGHT as it sold as a performative part of the message about art being bought and sold and consumed and then after it shred the value shot up even more... lots of messaging here and I think G-idle was VERY intentional with it.
Only people who kept up listening ()-IDLE's former albums can fully enjoy the pleasant surprise at the Shuhua's line in Nxde..
there's so much to unpack holy shit, but i can tell this is gonna be one hell of an iconic era already!
shuhua looks so confident this comeback and i'm so happy! her singing and stage presence stood out so much to me in the mv and album and you can visibly see the effects of the hard work she put in to improving 🥺
like what others in the comments are saying, my overall take on the concept is that it is commentary about the sexualization/objectification of woman in the entertainment industry. especially in the kpop world where the industry values beauty as a top priority (evidenced by the audience vote picking visuals over skill on an idol survival show soyeon mentored on), it feels very fitting to reference marilyn monroe, whose intellect and individuality was undermined as she began being mostly viewed as the "pretty blonde sex symbol". she also wasn't a natural blonde, so gidle dying their hair just furthers the symbolism.
banksy's reference was also a super pleasant surprise! besides the drawing itself in the mv representing a nude figure, the shredding (literally) strips the woman's body apart, baring the true "nude" plainly in front of an audience as a spectacle. if banksy's intention was to criticize those who only look for one specific idea in an image and determine value through that, then it's a perfect message for this comeback's concept. the post-shred painting also doubled in value, fun fact, which maybe can foreshadow something for gidle's future onward 👀?
i also find it hilarious that "she can't rap" and "music for dumb people" are within that sea of comments in that one scene, as i've definitely seen haters insulting gidle like that exactly. the inclusion of those messages feels very much like a meta callout, especially since we've been mostly seeing vintage/burlesque aesthetics in the mv up until that point. maybe i'm just reaching too far with this thought, but it feels like it's immortalizing and mocking the stupidity of the trolls who think they can say whatever disgusting thing they wanna say when hiding behind an electronic screen. soyeon also doesn't physically strip fully, but the viewers are still shown the full "nude", or truth, about the reality of society that in the specific scene. again, like someone else stated, soyeon and gidle are baring themselves emotionally naked, stripping themselves of their celebrity personas to bluntly express their message to the audience (even calling them out as perverts for thinking of/hoping for actual nudeness).
also, i was kind of thinking the same thing as you at 11:38, though going both ways as well. conservatives would argue that showing skin inappropriate and shameful, while others, as you can see in the live chat, want even more of it. like what you talked about around 13:25, the double standards and hypocrisy are blatantly shown.
tbh i don't think nxde is my fave gidle title track song-wise, but the artistic quality of it all is astounding. the album also reflects the dark sides of celebrity life, going from self-deprecating desolation to the full acceptance of the self (if you listen to it in reverse order, as gidle recommended). it's overall such a bold and possibly controversial concept, but it's done so stylishly and candidly that it just works perfectly.
everything being said, though, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE REACTION! i've always love hearing your thoughts and interpretations! i also apologize for the lengthiness of this comment. i've kind of been itching to analyze this song all day lol, though i don't even know if anything above made sense at all 😅
(also, by the way, sorry if this is annoying, as i hate to be "that" person, but may i ask if you're planning on checking out n.flying's comeback from today by any chance? it's their last one before the '94s have to enlist 🥲)
I do plan on doing Nflying! I have a handful of comebacks to get to. No worries, about the long comment. I read all of them!
I'm glad that someone is willing to speak their true thoughts instead of just complimenting
The intro is supposed to be like Betty Boop, which fits with the women being stigmatized for their attractiveness. Also, the use of the Habanera sample is this song is freaking flawless and fits so well. Just amazing work from Soyeon and the girls on this comeback.
Am I literally the ONLY one that liked Soyeon's rap in TOMBOY 😭😭😭
So happy you reacted to this ❤
i realize it’s supposed to be betty boop but i’m so glad i’m not the only one who thought of cool world from the animation!!! hahah
I appreciate that you are moving on, understandable. but I believe that gidle are still including Soojin in the video. To me, it feels like idle members are not leaving Soojin behind.
She's was and will always be (G)I-DLE's Main Dancer. They even acknowledge in their poster that none of them holds the dance position (even if Soyeon & Yuqi are great dancers) still, they don't want to leave Soojin behind.
Of course. If the girls don't feel a need to move on, why should we? It's no secret that the girls love Soojin very deeply. Also, the members happily pointed out Soojin signs and shirts several times from audiences on the world tour, Minnie's friend gave them six gifts (one for each member) in their tour in Bangkok, referenced Soojin many time on the I Never Die album, let's also not forget that the members have creative control with the m/v's. so the mole near the eye? Soojin. Marilyn's mole was lower on her face towards her lip. Everything in (G)I-DLE's m/v's are intentional since they have creative control. Nothing is a mistake. So what's with the cherry on Yuqi's shirt at the 2:44 mark of the video? Just a coincidence? Nope. The outfits are chosen for the m/v carefully. At 2:30, the hair styles in the cartoon change, all past hair styles of Soojin's. Also remember that Marilyn Monroe was Soojin's role model. Does anyone think it's just a coincidence that the group would make a concept of Marilyn Monroe and it's also Soojin's idol just by happenstance? Of course not. It's not a crime not to move on from Soojin, especially if the members still love her and reference her.
When koreans search yeoja nudeu (in hangeul) or women/girl nudes the search bar will turn up Yeoja Idle (G-idle) Nxde instead which will then start with "Why you think about nude? Cause your view's so rude"
The intro is throwing me with this one. The more i listen to the rest of the song i like it more but that intro i cant get past sometimes
G IDLE QUEENS😍😍😍😍
I love the Madonna type top because she was also a woman who owned her sexuality beyond just what it was to men but to her.
the scenes with Shuhua in that green dress.... HOOOOLY
Yeppie is Pretty
Ah it's a play on pretty. That makes sense
I read that as a you just saying minnie was pretty lol
Well both are true 😅
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh minnie why you are soooooo pretty omg
KPOP + ART = (👩🏼)I-DLE. MASTERPIECE! Please react MINNIE x LAUV K-909 Show. 👍
Hi,Thank you so much for your reaction! I am honestly blown away by this concept! GIDLE Nxde’s concept of the music video was inspired by the actress Marilyn Monroe and old Hollywood Glamour era.
•There were alot of historical references in the music video and the song lyrics about Marilyn Monroe,literary references,and messaging of women empowerment.
•I am not sure if the song sampled a classical song. The instrumentals seem similar to me.Can anyone please let me know. Thank you.
•All of the girls look stunning, but Shu-hua is really standing out to me..
The song is sampled from Habanera from Bizet's opera "Carmen."
@@foreverneverland8197 Thank you for sharing! I had a feeling that I heard the instrumentals from somewhere.
i don't know who my bias is anymore
I felt the English translation of the lyrics is not done well enough to represent the meaning. I’ve seen the Chinese translation of it and it made MUCH more sense.
I’m not sure if you know him he’s a TH-camr called DG reacts he also reacted to that song earlier his video came out earlier today he comes up with his own opinion and his idea of what it he thinks the video means so if you made you wanna watch his video to see if you can get his opinion to get context I think he did pretty well from what I understand and what she explained it seem like They’re representing how women don’t want to always be objectified is just a beautiful object to other people and then when we try to take the makeup off try to just be ourselves we’re not that ““ beautiful thing that they wanted and they’re basically saying well sorry that’s who I am this is who I am if you were expecting some thing else something risqué whatever That’s not gonna happen so sorry this is who we are and if you don’t like it I’m just gonna like myself for myself sorry for the ramble if that doesn’t make any sense
kingdom long live the king reaction
yebby is a kind of slang for pretty
In korean pretty is yebbuda. yabby is slang.
Please react to lovinsoojin's "the rise of gidle". It's dope
The cartoon character is soojin
Noone knows the instrument its a fidel
Such a good song. Really love it. But the lyrics are as usual weird and I wish I didn't read them but thats just everyday Soyeon.
What was weird about them??
@@icytamtam4820 They barely make any sense. Feels like a lot of nonsense. Or maybe they have a deep meaning I dont understand or its a girl thing I don't get...
But overall I never get what Soyeon is trying to say...
@@reaper5257 It’s true that the TH-cam translations kinda suck-the translations from listeners translate the lyrics a lot more accurately and it’s much more comprehensive :) there’s a reason why the Korean public is falling for her lyrics. They won’t do that if they don’t make sense.
The song is about how people view the word ‘Nude’-smt inappropriate or lewd, when ‘Nude’ should be viewed as “one’s true self” with no mask of act or anything.
When ppl click on the MV, they’re prolly expecting smt inappropriate because of the title. The gist of the song is basically saying “why do you think that about the word Nude? Think outside the box (in a diff perspective). Then, you won’t be disappointed when we’re not stripping in front of you, like what you came here for.” They’re just going to be their true selves whether you like it or not.
@@icytamtam4820 "The song is about how people view the word ‘Nude’-smt inappropriate or lewd, when ‘Nude’ should be viewed as “one’s true self” with no mask of act or anything." So she is allowed to give a word a new definition when it literally means naked or skin colored? And all the teasers were them taking their clothes off like come on. Thats why I never read the lyrics on their songs. All of them are awesome songs but as soon as you know what it means its so darn stupid
@@reaper5257 She's not trying to rewrite dictionary definitions lol. The song is like the figurative expression like "bare it all" --releasing all your internal truths and personality.
*See edit after comment
My issue with Nxde is the exact opposite of Tomboy .. Soyeons rap here in Nxde is one of her best, but I just cant get into the most of the rest of the song, not saying the song is bad, its just not something Im probably going to listen to again outside of reactions, whereas Tomboy grew on me after I got past the english rap. Still this is a crazy comeback, even if the TT is a skip for my playlist, and I hope for the most success for the girls.
Edit: for people who can't handle criticism or complimentary opinions... I'm praising the song as a 10/10 its just not my go to genre but I still appreciate it for what it is. I guess I should have been more detailed in my original comment... But geez people are so sensitive.
It is something different and it will grow on you
Give it a multiple listen
Gidle never play safe anyway, they can just release another kpopish sound and call it a day
@@drkmonn9153 no offense, but I don't need to be forced into liking the song. I've listened to it over 10 times now at this point, I think I can gauge my own opinion after that many listens. Don't get me wrong, I honestly think the song is a 10/10...but its also not going on my playlist or something I'm gonna go out of my way to listen to. its just not my thing, but I can still appreciate it or what it is.
I applaud Soyeon's artistry with this one, this comeback is going to be hard to top conceptually.
@@artist_37 Minnie said in interview that even fans may like or may not like the song…they can just release another typical kpop song and call it a day since most kpop fans like typical kpop songs anyway…it’s just different genre..dont like it then just ignore..
@@oz1128I really should just ignore you... but I don't know why y'all are getting so defensive... I'm freaking praising the song as a 10/10 it's just not my go to genre of music... Gidle is one of my fave groups, doesn't mean I'm guaranteed to playlist every single song they put out, in fact it's probably the only song I haven't playlisted from them but I can still appreciate it for the artistry behind it. If all you can see is negative criticism from my comment you obviously didn't read the whole comment or my 2nd comment in this thread.
@@artist_37 I didnt even say anything...what are you on about? maybe my EngIish is not that good...I said just ignore the song if you dont like it..that's all...dont need to be so sensitive
Don't like the song, hate the sample, the intro and the melody. Why are they copying other groups with the use of well known samples (Habaner) when they should be the trendsetters and not the followers?
This entire song is fresh in kpop. We have not had anything like it for years
