Hi Ben! An explanation of the video, from one of my other comments: the lyrics are about a girl being envious of another girl and failing to realize her own beauty in the process. the girls initially portray beautiful fish but the fish are caught and sent to market where they are told they are worthless over and over, in the meantime they see the octopus marked as super expensive even though it looks ridiculous and so they internalize that that must be beauty. They and several other fish get bought for a conveyor belt sushi restaurant, where the human analogs of each fish come in and take their representative fish. The girls in their human form come in at the end of the night, notably dressed in a fashion reminiscent of the octopus indicating they have adopted that standard of beauty. Because their fish are the only ones left they take them, and when they eat them they realize the beauty that each fish once had, and are sad that they had neglected this beauty in their efforts to emulate the octopus just because it was more "expensive".
and also can be seen as a general accusation to k-pop industry that objectifies idols and consider bands as products. Also there is a note against the obsession with young age groups (by the time singers get old they reduce their value - at the end buy 1 get 3) - we all know how K-pop is addicted with young groups and how hard is for "older" singer to keep the pace in the industry - as often kicked out or neglected by their agency. In general the video refers as said to "find your own beauty" concept and do not adhere to a beauty cliché imposed (the octopus). Another clear accusation to the K-pop addiction to plastic surgery to modify singers' looks and adhere to the cliché. So at the end the video is supposed to be light and funny in the visuals - while has a quite deep message built in.
@@fabparks it was what Fabrizio said. This was more of a social critique on the idol industry and how it treats female idols, than anything (it can have multiple interpretations though, but that's one of the main points of the video). And the ending scene where they cry after eating "themselves" it cound be viewed as them realizing they were happier before becoming idols because they were able to be themselves. The octupus represented the more popular girlgroup/s, the one that's adored and revered by everyone. And I wish I had the original comments I saw years ago explaining the video because they did a way better job than me. xD
*sees notification for Catallena. Ohhhh Ben is going for a ride. Seriouslty, this song and choreo is iconic and way ahead of its time. Its one of those songs that Idols today still cover and play around with. Pink and Yellow makes orange....
In relation to the word "Catallena," Lizzysaid at the event, "It's a new word so it may be a little unfamiliar but the exact definition is well portrayed through the song, which is about people who are immature and choosy, but strangely enough, others want to become close to them anyway."
Orange Caramel is so iconic. They had unforgettable concepts, wackiest costumes and funnest songs (with Trot or disco/club rythms!). Other than Catallena some great reaction-worthy MVs are Magic Girl, Aing, Shanghai Romance and Lipstick.
You have no ideia how this was iconic back them since orange caramel was know for having funny and weird concepts So everybody was kinda okay with it because, well, is they concept lol
Now, we a have a kinda of a male version of Orange Caramel, the gang Seventeen's BooSeokSoo. They, actually, did the choreo of this song when they were trainees. And they have their own song called Just Do It. If u didn't listen yet, I highly recommend
THIS SONG!!!!! ICONIC! This song and Kill Bill by BEG are my secret guilty pleasures... Definitely won't get tired of them any time soon! (oh and Ben, if you haven't reacted to Kill Bill yet PLEASE DO SO, it's a masterpiece!! XO)
Oh Ben wait till you watch a live stage of this...you will never be able to listen to this song ever again without hearing the screams in the beginig 😂
This video is also a commentary on how girl groups in the industry who do "cheap" concepts are the ones that sell out. They look up to the octopus because it's expensive, but in the end, nobody bought it.
This song is ICONIC and orange caramel is ICONIC but ICONIC ICONS. Change my mind They maybe odd but they songs are all amazing 100% recommend. If you don't Stan them you will Stan them accidentally but streaming Catallena and copy cat.
The song and music video are initially very weird but once you realise the meaning behind both the lyrics and imagery of the sushi and it's price going down it makes a lot of sense
4:37 Oof. Fandoms can get crazy about a group having a similar fandom color to a preexisting group. I remember there was controversy around iKON having the same color of lightsticks (orange) as Shinhwa. So maybe that's why they avoided orange.
Come on guys. Why hasn't anyone ever requested Wonder Girls to him. It is a must. Most of us from that golden era started because of them. Maybe Tell Me and Nobody. And then I Feel You and last Why So Lonely. Since he has no clue about Twice's big sisters in JYP then he needs to catch up.
orange would be an obvious choise for their fanclub buuuut... orange is a no-touchy colour. it belongs to a group called shinhwa and their fanclub shinhwa changjo. shinhwa just had their 22nd anniversary last month. :3 they're the longest running kpop group with no lineup changes. same members from debut till now. they even got a guiness world record for this. and NGL I THINK U SHOULD CHECK THEM OUT because they're fucking dope. professionals through and through. nobody does it quite like shinhwa and ur missing out my boi :D
OMG I remember when this video first came out, and I was just like.... WHAT THE ACTUAL F***???????? I would always skip it when it came up on an auto mix because I found it so disturbing. Like imagine being at the meeting where they decided "let's turn these beautiful girls into several day old fish!!!" Someone had a VERY specific fetish.

*sees notification for Catallena. Ohhhh Ben is going for a ride.

An iconic song! give it a few listens and it'll be stuck in your head forever 🤣

The most iconic Kpop intro and choreo!
This song has THE BEST outfits on the live stages I’d definitely recommend watching some stages
Yup, pink + yellow = orange..
Nadia_Naddie seems like my art sucks 😂
@@Yino_lemmon 😆😅
Not red + yellow ?
@@bensoul4727 Well pink is sort of a light red.
Catallena is iconic
Not just because of the memes
But come on it’s your guilty pleasure , it’s too catchy to not be
Welcome to one of the most timeless iconic kpop songs of all time
I kept laughing through the intro because I knew he had *no* idea what he was getting into 🙊🤣
When they sing this song on stage, they shout 'Ha!' one by one. And Octopus girl in MV is a male comedian.
I would definitely reccomend watching the stage version of this, the girls make it so funny and fun to watch.
Orange Caramel is so iconic. They had unforgettable concepts, wackiest costumes and funnest songs (with Trot or disco/club rythms!). Other than Catallena some great reaction-worthy MVs are Magic Girl, Aing, Shanghai Romance and Lipstick.
BRUH THIS IS LIKE MY FAVORITE KPOP SONG TO EVER EXIST LMAO

You have no ideia how this was iconic back them since orange caramel was know for having funny and weird concepts

the costumes for the live stages are ICONIC

The best trio on kpop STAN ORANGE CARAMEL
THIS SONG!!!!! ICONIC! This song and Kill Bill by BEG are my secret guilty pleasures... Definitely won't get tired of them any time soon! (oh and Ben, if you haven't reacted to Kill Bill yet PLEASE DO SO, it's a masterpiece!! XO)

Iconic song
Unique concept (Sushi concept)
Legendary group
Yes, yellow and pink do make a form of orange.
I know this from actually mixing them.
and yes, yellow and pink make orange ben, congrats!
This video is also a commentary on how girl groups in the industry who do "cheap" concepts are the ones that sell out. They look up to the octopus because it's expensive, but in the end, nobody bought it.
The message in this MV is deep
I love Orange Caramel so much. I'm glad you reacted to this. Now, I want Sushi. :(
this is sooo creative and fun!
i'm so glad you got to this
U should react to the live version or at least the dance practice. They are weeeird and that's the exactly reason that i really love it
This song is ICONIC and orange caramel is ICONIC but ICONIC ICONS. Change my mind
They maybe odd but they songs are all amazing 100% recommend. If you don't Stan them you will Stan them accidentally but streaming Catallena and copy cat.
The song and music video are initially very weird but once you realise the meaning behind both the lyrics and imagery of the sushi and it's price going down it makes a lot of sense
Orange Caramel is Legend 😌👌 love every song and love watching your reaction 😅
My obsession for orange caramel is probably not normal at all lmao! Idk I’m an odd one that’s probably why I love Orange Caramel lol
This song is ICONIC
legendary!
THIS IS SUCH A CLASSIC
He did it. He actually did it.
Every time I see the start of the mv I want to do the screams😂
it has such a deep impactful meaning omg
4:37 Oof. Fandoms can get crazy about a group having a similar fandom color to a preexisting group. I remember there was controversy around iKON having the same color of lightsticks (orange) as Shinhwa. So maybe that's why they avoided orange.
I don’t know why but I always analyzed the shark + tears as some kind of protest against fin shark fishing...
truly iconic 👌never forget
I wish he would react to the orange caramel mv with the tennis plot line
this is iconic
👑
I really love the song 😂😂😂 makes me smile every time
Come on guys. Why hasn't anyone ever requested Wonder Girls to him. It is a must. Most of us from that golden era started because of them. Maybe Tell Me and Nobody. And then I Feel You and last Why So Lonely. Since he has no clue about Twice's big sisters in JYP then he needs to catch up.
They cry because it soo good
twitch subs nailed the vote

Ben, believe me, you haven't seen the strangest/most disturbing kpop things YET XD. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
orange would be an obvious choise for their fanclub buuuut... orange is a no-touchy colour. it belongs to a group called shinhwa and their fanclub shinhwa changjo. shinhwa just had their 22nd anniversary last month. :3 they're the longest running kpop group with no lineup changes. same members from debut till now. they even got a guiness world record for this. and NGL I THINK U SHOULD CHECK THEM OUT because they're fucking dope. professionals through and through. nobody does it quite like shinhwa and ur missing out my boi :D
