Sorry for the lull in content! I (PD Umu) have been in Korea for the past two weeks while working on shooting content there and some sponsored content we agreed to before planning the Korea trip so AHHH it's been hard to balance everything! But I'm back in the US now so we'll work on slowly getting "classical musicians react" series back up n running.

React to (G)I-DLE HANN vs HWAA
I think you guys haven't reacted to Tomboy yet. Hehe please do that too.
I've been waiting for this one! Thank you Umu & Team^^
the "super deep voice member committee" killed me 😂
I swear that this comitte has to be a thing!!! hahhhaaa
We need SDVC next to BTC XD
and we need J from STAYC on the table too
I want to be part of the super deep voice member committee!
they forgot Jisoo and V 🤣
I had to screenshot that part just cos it’s so funny HAHAHA
I just want to say I love Minnie’s voice and how Soyeon is a genius at highlighting everyone’s unique vocal color
and taking a minute of time for herself on title tracks
@@beposfatherwhen you’re the brain behind the entire groups success, you can do that.
@@dvstnh im tired when ppl says that soyeon is stealing moments like wtf? Every person who has both EYES could see other members shined through.
@@dvstnh L take. Woozi isn't like that, nor RM, 3racha
Y’all complain about the title track but when we bring out b-side y’all silent, all the girls shine not my fault some of y’all are drawn to soyeon 😂😂lol
“ is it G-idle? Giddle? GEEDLE?”
Imagine stanning GEEDLE 🤣🤣
Random comment. That person who says Geeedle reminds me of Yoseob from Highlight. His face is very similar 😱
The way how we have a long list of misspelled (G)I-DLE. 😩
the geadles
fandom is NEEDLE cause they thread the GEEDLES together
im so sorry LMAO 😭
@@bella-qo7wg HAHAHAHA I'm laughing so hard rn🤣🤣🤣
Yuqi’s “speak out” at the end with her deep voice really hit me
It’s really beautiful too
I think one of the most impactful lines for me in the song is "I'm born nude" cause it really is just like... why is it sexual? Everyone is born this way, why make it sexual?
And I also think Shuhua's line right after saying "The pervert is you" really solidifies that meaning. Shuhua's delivery is also really good there because it gives off the judgemental, almost disgusted vibe as if she is looking down upon you for thinking that way.
The line is actually meant to be "you’re the pervert" and was mistranslated as "you’ve got a dirty mind."
@@almendriaflorentino I would translate it (변태는 너야) as "The pervert is you" with the verbal emphasis on "you". Not just because it is close literally, but because it matches the structure. Given the premise that someone is ascribing a negative sexual connotation to the speaker's body, they reply "I'm born nude / The pervert is *you*", or my body is in its natural state, the mental experience you have with regard to it is yours and your responsibility. Non-native though.
@@slsalkin i think this direct translation would've been more impactful than "you've got a dirty mind". they should've used the direct translation
@@almendriaflorentino yeah I was unsure which was right
men make it sexual, not people
I learned the reason Soyeon named the song "Nxde" is because so when some "korean men" search "aideul nxde" which means "women or child on nxde" then g-idle would show up instead.
the fact that they had to do this is so scary. eternally at awe at how they used their artistry and position as a famous idol to at least cover some of those results by showing this song with That lyrics and meaning.
Yuqi has one of the most unique voices in the industry. It is so rich, and full. I love it soooo much. And I love that they use that contrast with the other, lighter timbres in the group.
Yeah!!! Me too. Her voice is so powerful and meets very well with the other members.
It's not just about how unique her voice is. She knows how to use it, soyeon knows how to use it. Something I stick to and keep repeating is that a unique voice is shit if you don't know how to use it. Minnie and yuqi have very unique voices and it's safe to say that they belong in G Idle, I can't imagine them in any other setting. Soyeon is truly a genius
Feel like Minnie’s opening line sums up what they were trying to say. She says “slightly dumb in the way I talk, but I have a sexy figure” notice she says the way she talks is dumb, but she’s NOT dumb and she’s putting on character that she knows is expected on her.
Plus "yeppi yeppi" means something akin to "pretty pretty" or "cutie cutie", based on the word "yeppeo" or 예뻐
4:52 “ the guard running in the back? That’s me”
Ju young is such a mood😂😂
something i find really interesting is how soyeon used classical instruments (or samples of said instruments lol) to enhance the natural tones in the member's voices. the croony yet warm string instrument (can't tell if it's a viola or violin) behind miyeon and shuhua's voice during the prechorus, how the instrumentation is light behind minnie's intro since she has the lightest timbre, the muted trumpet highlighting and not hiding the natural brassiness in soyeon's voice (and the unmuted brass instrument extended her note 'nude' before the last chorus was so fun), and the low brass hits in tandem with yuqi's 'puk'. i always loved how gidle's music always highlights their vocal tones and works it into the perfect parts.
an advantage of writing for themselves while other groups just get what the composers did thinking in "generic" vocals
8:25 okay but Sean playing Minnie’s beginning verses from Oh My God and Lion on the piano was so good!
I love when ppl notice Miyeon’s timbre 😌 It’s so special
She's a MAIN vocal for a reason❤️
Her voice is wonderful, but since she shares the track with Yuqi and Minnie which have unique voices in kpop, plus Soyeon's rapping and singing abilities and now ShuHua chameleonic skill, she gets the shortest part of the praise. Also lets not forget Soojin has a great characteristical voice, All Star Cast
I really love how you guys explained the purpose of using Carmen's habanera & that distorted violin sound are deliberate & adds on to the meaning of the whole song. Because it was not obvious like the Marilyn Monroe & Banksy references, atleast not to me. It makes me appreciate the song & Soyeon more than I already did.
Also I love how you guys praised the contrasting vocal timbres of the members, especially Miyeon cause she doesn't get enough compliments for her beautiful voice.
Overall amazing reaction as always. 👍🏻
On the Mnet stage that was shown on October 20, the Habanera was played at the beginning of the show!
I only recognized it because i played it in Youth Orchestra once upon a time!
@@gnu-dle it wasn't MAMA, it was MMA
Soyeon really deserved songwriter of the year
She said I’m here I’m loud I’m delivering, you all releasing meaningless songs let me change this industry let me be an artist and she DID.
So freaking proud of her
She is the only female artist in korea to win songwriter and producer of the year
One of the reasons why IDLE sampling Habanera for Nxde is more meaningful than other songs is because there is reason. Habanera is a song about a woman who wants to claim autonomy on her own sexuality, and the choice to choose who she wants rather than being a bargaining chip. Nxde being a song that rejects oversexualisation of women correlates with the message of Habanera.
I know this sounds pretentious, but other songs that sampled classical pieces like this don't nearly give as much homage to the original compositions as IDLE did 🤷♀️
They actually got an opera singer to sing Habanera for one of their performance. It also correlates to the message of their songs too.
gidle actually used habanera in their opening stage on MMA 2022
They had Hana Lee open it for them. She’s an Opera singer.
That's why I love them
IIRC it was also the theme that can be heard when they're introduced before one of their stages. They made it clear the song was a reference/nod to it.
Edit: found it! it's their Mnet 221020 stage.
I think Soyeon is taking the group in a rising artist path that I don't see in many girlgroups nowadays. She was able to give (G)I-DLE a control over their artistic perspective so early in their career and I'm super proud to see them being able to do something like this (I follow Soyeon since she was just a young little rapper on Produce 101). One of my fave songs/comebacks of the year for sure
THE WAIT IS OVER FOLKS!
HAHA IKR 🤣
I LIVE for Jason's cultural commentary moments. He just nails it, every time! (There were so many insightful comments from everyone in this video, but I just feel like Jason gets it SO often I wanted to highlight it ^^)
can we appreciate the fact that just by choosing "Nxde" as the title track name (G)Idle was able to single-handedly cover the results for both CP search results and "n*de idol" search results in korea, as the way those searches get worder and spelled in korean inevitably lead them to Nxde the song by (G)Idle the group insteadh
I still think it's so sad they didn't translate the second to last lyric of the song correctly in the subtitles.
In the subs it says "You've got a dirty mind" but "byeontaeneun neoya" actually directly translates to "The pervert is you"
8:58 Please seeing Felix, Dami, Byeol, Mingi and Yuqi all photoshopped around a board room table has me hollering 😂😂😂
The fact that sooyeon wrote this song to overlaps the browsing word for child p*rn (in korean aideru n*de) where child in korean is aideru which is the same pronunciation of their group (G)idle = aideru. So that whenever there is someone browse child p*rn / aideru n*de the one who will pops up is their song this song (G)idle n*de. That’s sooooo GENIUS and so thoughtful. Love her sooooo much
hope the people who liked yuqi's voice listened to her song bonnie & clyde! i also rlly love her voice and her solo song really lets her timbre shine c:
I absolutely love everything about this! The song, the message behind it, the mv, their voices, EVERYTHING. Soyeon you genius kween❤
This is why Twitter Stan’s opinions don’t matter LMFAOOO Soyeon is such a genius! ❤
IKR!!! 😂😂😂 I hate them. I hope they realize that their voice never mattered in other major platforms and has no say in front of real professionals.
What the heck happened on Twitter?
What happened? I never really touch kpop fandom in my twt acc lmao
@@SleepingLittleHedgehog Soyeon / I-DLE are stan-twitter's punching bag... :(
@@SleepingLittleHedgehogK-pop Stan Twitter is basically just, like, hating and fighting lmao. But the one idol and group K-pop Stan Twitter will always be ready to hate is Soyeon and (G)I-DLE. The second NXDE was released, there were already a bunch of people going around saying the song was horrible and that Soyeon should stop producing/writing music altogether
I'm actually obsessed with Yuqi's voice.
GIDLE is one of the best kpop group in the history of the industry and people are not ready for this conversation yet. What Soyeon does and the power she's gathering on being free to creat what she wants gives to kpop a new autenc colors that we've being dying to see more. Can't wait to see what they'll be doing next time.
(G)I-Dle are just unique because they themself are deeply involved in their music 💜.
Love them so much
I love how purposeful the instrumentation is. Everything evokes a peepshow style burlesque performance, from the Carmen sample (I feel like it’s used a lot in movie scenes with burlesque dancing, or at least my brain associates it with that for some reason) to the styling. But then the sample is distorted, almost as a way to show that the desire to turn everything into a peepshow is distorted? I still dislike the nasal tone Soyeon takes and would have preferred backing off a tiny bit, but the entire song isgenius. I also super appreciate that Shuhua’s vocals seem to be getting appreciated more in their songs recently. She’s capable, and she really seems to be the much needed bridge between Yuqi and Minnie/Miyeon color wise.
FINALLY THEY'RE BACK, I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
This comeback was such a slay. The song had to grow on me a bit, but now, I just LOVE it. And the concept… amazing. It’s so so good.
And once again, this channel proves that G-Idle deserves the compliments for nailing this era. Antis on Twitter can say whatever, but if actual professionals, who don’t have a bias, and who KNOW what they are talking about are full of praise… well, then, we know the deal 🌚
one of the things i love about (g)i-dle is how every layer of what they create and present always has a purpose, whether it's visually or auditorily. and that creates such a beautiful & symbolic picture for us, the audience, to enjoy. a message that we'll always remember.
been waiting for this one. :') thanks for the reaction!
I've been wanting to write an essay on all of the symbolism in Nxde, with the use of Carmen, addressing *someone* (the audience? A character in the song? Some third party?) in the second person, the obvious messaging of the oversexualization of idols. There's so much thematic analysis that could be made.
So thank you to the reactors for putting my ideas and feelings about the song into words!
Yes! I've been waiting to see your reactions to this song! It just slaps, g-idle are amazing and so are you guys❤️
3:34 Yes!!!! It’s nice to see appreciation for Miyeon’s voice
Yuqi's voice is something I'll never be able to get over it, she always gives me goosebumps, such an amazing voice! What I liked about Nxde apart of the amazing message (nude doesn't mean sexual, that association between being nude and sex it's in the mind of people) it's that every voice is so unique and they really knew how to deliver the song in the best way thanks to their different colors, tones and textures
Soyeon most definitely composed the song to sound '"in your face" to ironically contrast the meaning of the song. A song titled nude would normally use a minimal, stripped back instrumental to convey the idea of being nude, however Soyeon flipped this on its head to prove how female nudity has become a provocative, flashy means to satisfy men (strip shows, burlesque shows, p*rn etc). Nudity for women is not just our bodies that we exist in, it's a commodity, a profit, a show etc.
Makes me so happy a lot of you understood and appreciated the message the (g)i-rls were making. Thank you for the wonderful insight. Edits were also hilarious
Omg I was waiting for you guys to do Nxde!!!! I love when u do (G)Idle!!!
I was waiting for this. Idle is the best gg group in the 4th gen and their music and concept are always unpredictable.
I've been waiting for this my whole life, THANK YOU VERY MUCH🥹😍
와우...
그냥 리액션이 아니라 놀라운 분석 영상이라 새롭게 배운 점이 많습니다
계속 집중해서 봤어요
좋은 영상 감사합니다
I think during MAMA 2022, they paid tribute to carmen as well by letting a professional opera singer sing the lyrics of the habanera before they started the song nude
at last!!!! we got your reaction video for Nxde... Song Yuqi (Oo-geee), from G-idle, giddle , geedle 😆 really has a fascinating tone of voice tho all of them have a very distinct vocal range. Istg i always like your reaction videos fr fr.. i am now looking forward to SNSD and Red Velvet's new song Birthday reaction 😌👌🏻
This channel is the most well-prepared information before watching the music video! I like when the MC just described concepts first and also the front men tried to figure out which instrument they used.
was waiting for this!!! and the edit is greattt!!! ❤
Have been waiting for your reaction and analysis for Nxde, and thank you for the insights on the song's production and message. Especially Jason's commentary! I really learnt alot! :)
Best analysis (reaction?) I've heard in a long time. Thanks, that was fun listening to thoughts form experts.
OH MY GOD, BEEN WAITING FOR THIS. U NEVER DISAPPOINT REACTTOTHEK!
When musicians compliment soyeon this proves that she is 💯 genius producer damn cube be better to her. If they anger soyeon they’ll lose a Gem and also a Queen of the 4th Gen.
after the long wait huhuhu thank youuu so much 🥰🥰
Thank you for this reaction: detailed descriptions, interesting notes and great montage 💖
I learned so much in 20 minutes oh my goodness. I've heard people analyze songs but not this deep. You guys are so cool!!
finally you included vocalists as reactors !! the musicians are the backbone while the vocalist is the heart of a song i think they should included in every one of your videos
Thanks for the genuine reaction to GIDLE music!!! Nxde is another level raised for them and the entire kpop world!!!
Montage is so fricking good, wtf, great job and reaction, thank you 😭💞
I'VE BEEN WAITING LIKE CRAZY FOR THIS. THANK YEWWWW
coming as a neverland, i really liked hearing the musical analysis of nxde! i thought i might mention that i-dle actually opened their performance of nxde at the MMAs with a small part of Habanera!
I've been waiting for you guys to react to Nxde since it was released. And you guys finally did!!!! It's an amazing reaction and discussion. Thank you!!!
thank you for the commentary and explaining all of the music terms!
Legendary girl gruop who made and writte all songs from debut
Thank you for the reaction & breakdown 💜
Yall have no idea how long i was waiting for this 😩
I've been waiting for this 😩💕
I love GIDLE so much, they are talented and underrated.
TBH, i really super like those professional reaction to the GIDLE songs/MVs, As a rookie, i cant find those prof knowledge during my listening time, i can know and study so much from u guys.
Another reference that wasn't mentioned was Soyeon's intro;
The deliberate nasally tone was a Betty Boop reference..! It was definitely more discrete that's why stan-twitter kept saying Soyeon should stop singing...
I've been waiting for this!!!
HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR IT ♡♡♡
I hope reacttothek can keep up update their reaction video. Andddd i have been waiting for react to vocal!!!!
I really love their reaction plus i cann learn new thing!!!
Beautiful beautiful reaction, I always learn something when I watch your reactions.
you know it's a masterpiece when musicians adore it !
Leaving this first, watching before there's subtitle. Gotta watch again later when there's subs because english isnt my main language 🥲
I dont get all what you guys saying but one for sure I LOVE OUR NEW REACTORS! I love how they talk more about vocals besides the music 😍😍
This is so relatable lol, I need subs to watch stuff too
Finally I’ve been waiting u guys to react this
드디어!!!!누드 반응 너무너무 기다렸어요!!!ㅠㅠ❤❤❤❤
FINALLY I WAS WAITING FOR THIS!!!!!
loved this omg and i yelled when i saw "you better run" is up next that's going to be one interesting reaction i can't wait!!!!
'Quel scandal' hahaha I did not realize he spoke french until I watch the video a second time. I really loved the message of the song, women should be able to have any type of body and not be judged for it. Which is very ironic when you think of the world they live in - of plastic surgery, crazy diets, etc. Not easy to be a public figure in K-pop.
Finally you guys reacted to G-idle's new song!! Been waiting for this because Nxde is a really good song 🥺
Yess finally!! The moment I found out they're using Habanera in the song I was curious to see how yall will react to it, love the in depth and very distinct reactions to the song, Umu was my favourite
I was waiting for this video to comeee🙉
Finally! Thank you guys!
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS REACTION FINALLYYYYY thank you😍 another reference for nxde is betty boop on soyeon's intro!
the way I've been waiting for this reaction ughhh
now these people understand how much of an masterpiece it is !
Finally a group that i like 😩♥️ thank you Reacttothek and Umu
I waited so much this reaction video of this music ;-; 💕💕💕
omg hi, I haven't been here in a while and idk why? bc clearly the editing has gotten soooo much better (not that it was bad before but now it's really sick). and also sean got fabulous af? Thanks for always putting that much effort into the videos!!
Finally!!!! 해줄걸 믿구 기다리고 있었다구요🥰
Been waiting for this reactttttt
Yesss Gidle is on a whole new level
i forget how talented the reactors are until they start doing their thing
Thank you
As always best reaction ever on a song
Love how you understand musically and lyrically the song Nxde, to me it's really accurate to what Soyeon and I-DLE intended to
O tanto que eu esperei por esse vídeo galera kkkk
Ngl, I was really hoping you'd do that song...cause I'm a huge Idle fan (and I can tell Umu really liked the song too!). I'm surprised no one mentioned electro swing, because that's what I felt the instrumentation was based on. These sorts of violon sounds can be heard a lot in electro swing music (even if Nxde isn't electro swing). Also, some people say that Soyeon at the beginning was meant to sound like Betty Bop!
everytime i listen nxde i get goosebumps esspecily soyeon last line.
OMG CANT WAIT FOR NEXT REACTION. ITS SNSD EVERYBODY! 🔥🔥
I really appreciate this reactions and how thorough the reflection and analysis was!!! Thank you classical musicians, learned so much more about the piece❤
