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
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.
@@LokiWasNotHere 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@nerdmaki3038 STEVE is WRONG. 😂 The group was already named G-IDLE or 여자아이들 which itself literally means “female children.” So finding their song if it was titled “nude” you cannot help but end up typing “female children nude” in Korean. So this is their own entire fault for naming themselves “여자아이들 (Female Children)“ in Korean. The version he is spreading is some of the notorious bitter Korean female incels spreading and exporting lies trying saying Korean men are being nefarious and it spreads among foreigners themselves. 아이들 is read like “Idle” that’s why they named the group like that to begin with.

So this is their own entire fault for naming themselves “여자아이들 (Female Children)“ in Korean. 아이들 is read like “Idle” that’s why they named the group like that to begin with. There are a lot of bitter Korean female in cells spreading and exporting lies trying saying Korean men are being nefarious and foreigners themselves have started inventing their own lies. You should hear about the people who died in training out of regulations under a female commander’s illegal orders and she got away with it, or the recent Dongtan scandal where a man was arrested for SA with no proof but a woman’s claims to get him to admit false charges and give her money… while she didn’t get arrested for trying to set this up for drug money. Or taxes paid for prostitutes to close shop and sell their plots of land in the way of land development when they are supposed to be criminals (prostitution is illegal, it’s like they want to say prostitution is sexist but the women in there need to be enabled to spread vice), or the one and only country to have taxes spent on useless things like female-only apartments or female-only parking lots. The government wants to back this up for brownie points. Regional governments even give money to feminist organizations when by law, executive/bureaucratic bodies should be neutral at all times.
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. 👍🏻
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
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
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.
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 🤷♀️
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
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 ^^)
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
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
@@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 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"
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:
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.
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!
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
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
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 🌚
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.
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.
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!
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
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
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!
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...
you can easily tell that the blue-haired girl is a HUGE fan. i love how she geeks out to the music and to the girls. she's so enthusiastic. i love it!!!!!
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.
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 😍😍
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 😌👌🏻
'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.
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! :)
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.
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!!!
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.
Nude in g-idle's song means different from what most of us thinks of the word "nude". The song means that the girls are perfect even without any makeuo on and all, hence Soyeon started with "Why you think that 'bout nude? 'Cause your view's so rude, Think outside the box Then you'll like it" because we tend to think of nude in a sensual way. I kinda have the itch to clear it up because I think that's what the creators of the song would want and this song is a masterpiece and not liberation.
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!
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!!
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!!!

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 🌚
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.
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.
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!
did you finish the essay? because im interested xd
I was waiting for this. Idle is the best gg group in the 4th gen and their music and concept are always unpredictable.
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
Best analysis (reaction?) I've heard in a long time. Thanks, that was fun listening to thoughts form experts.
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
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!
OH MY GOD, BEEN WAITING FOR THIS. U NEVER DISAPPOINT REACTTOTHEK!
i forget how talented the reactors are until they start doing their thing
I've been waiting for this my whole life, THANK YOU VERY MUCH🥹😍
Legendary girl gruop who made and writte all songs from debut
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...
you can easily tell that the blue-haired girl is a HUGE fan. i love how she geeks out to the music and to the girls. she's so enthusiastic. i love it!!!!!
now these people understand how much of an masterpiece it is !
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.
Thanks for the genuine reaction to GIDLE music!!! Nxde is another level raised for them and the entire kpop world!!!
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
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!!
5:31 the head bobbing and the cats is just so funny 🤣👌🏾
It’s the most relatable cat GIF. 😂
Yesss Gidle is on a whole new level
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 😌👌🏻
'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.
17:06 its not supposed to be flirty its an irony LOL exactly the point of the song
9:28
That CLC addition threw me off there, but a welcome surprise indeed. 😂
you know it's a masterpiece when musicians adore it !
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! :)
the way I've been waiting for this reaction ughhh
I'VE BEEN WAITING LIKE CRAZY FOR THIS. THANK YEWWWW
after the long wait huhuhu thank youuu so much 🥰🥰
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.
8:58 THE SUPER DEEP VOICE COMMITTEE 💀💀💀💀❤❤❤❤
Yall have no idea how long i was waiting for this 😩
thank you for the commentary and explaining all of the music terms!
Finally you guys reacted to G-idle's new song!! Been waiting for this because Nxde is a really good song 🥺
3:58 sammmme 🥹🥹 for most of G-Idle’s discography I find myself getting chills now matter how many times I listen or watch the videos 💜💜
WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME ABOUT THIS VID?! OMG I was so looking forward to these classic musicians reacting to IDLE NUDE 😭😭😭 thxxx 💜💜💜
There was another one with two Korean violinists who reacted to the song.
@@LokiWasNotHere ow really? Thx for telling me
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!!!
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.
Miyeon’s Timbre.. thank you for finally recognizing that
Nude in g-idle's song means different from what most of us thinks of the word "nude". The song means that the girls are perfect even without any makeuo on and all, hence Soyeon started with "Why you think that 'bout nude? 'Cause your view's so rude, Think outside the box Then you'll like it" because we tend to think of nude in a sensual way. I kinda have the itch to clear it up because I think that's what the creators of the song would want and this song is a masterpiece and not liberation.
was waiting for this!!! and the edit is greattt!!! ❤
Beautiful beautiful reaction, I always learn something when I watch your reactions.
Finally I’ve been waiting u guys to react this
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!
After I watched this, I just realized that Soyeon is a music genius.
Finally a group that i like 😩♥️ thank you Reacttothek and Umu
Montage is so fricking good, wtf, great job and reaction, thank you 😭💞
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!!!!
I truly did not expect a reference to No by CLC today, but in that context it made perfect sense!
드디어!!!!누드 반응 너무너무 기다렸어요!!!ㅠㅠ❤❤❤❤
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 I WAS WAITING FOR THIS!!!!!
i love gidle so much, they really stand out to me in the kpop industry. soyeon is a genius
I was waiting for this video to comeee🙉
It’s so fun that you guys catch the habanera from carmen because idle did that opera performance intro for their MMA performance
I've been waiting for this!!!
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!!!
Omg everything about steph is amazing, so beautiful
