"the storyline is everyone is tempted by soojin"
true dat. i can speak for myself.
Pretty sure that's something we can all relate to lol.
true dat. i can speak for soojin.
i can confirm that as well.
Soojin is hot af. My lesbian ass is whipped for her and this video fed me so well. Like, (G)-Idle really did that! Oof, my heart!
I'm gay and i think I'm turning back to being a guy because of soojin asdfg😂
for some reason I still can't believe this comeback is real
Same
leenah :3 I thought I saw haeseul in your pfp lol
Zaina abdalla lol I just changed it, maybe thats why
I can’t believe the lyrics are real
@LOOΠΔ World Domination what
PD “they can’t handle soojin”
Honestly same she just bias wrecked me lmao 😩😭🙏
LMAOO SHE BIAS WRECKED ME AND SHE ISSSSS MY BIAS
She bias wrecked me to the point where I just decided to claim her as my bias because I can't handle her. Every comeback she does this and it's not fair lol
*YOOO SHE IS MY BIAS*
Paris LeShea same
this didn’t age well :,(
Oh my god I just read this in spanish and I have to translate it
Latata: They fell in love with a boy
Hann: They found out he cheated
Senorita: They try to fall for another guy to forget their ex
Uh-Oh: They finally get over their ex
Lion: They become empowered women
Oh My God: They realize they are lesbians
Hyunjin's Mullet I WAS WONDERING WHAT THAT SAID

yeessssss welcome! (:
*soojin SERVED in the second verse, i’m gay and will not dispute this*
I think this new "set" is just as satisfying and more calming!
It feels more personal tbh
I actually really like PD's "home" setup. It's such a calming background, even though the production quality is not quite as good as the studio setup.
@@Serenityrockstar nice name 😂
thank you sm entertainment
the forest in the bg makes it vv calming
On that note... I'd love an entire song that sounds exactly like Minnie's bit at the beginning and end... My god, it's stunning
That’s ASMR. You’re asking for ASMR lmao
@@formoftherapy I mean... No one would be complaining 😂😂😂
tHE MOMENT THIS MV CAME OUT I WAS UPSET THINKING I'D HAVE TO WAIT A WHOLE ASS MONTH FOR YOU TO UPLOAD A REACTION YET YOU HAVE DELIVERED
My exact thought 😂
LMAO IKR🤣🤣
same HAHAH
ピンク色フルだ pd might aswell keep the mots7 reaction to himself by now, no one even bothers asking anymore xD
i love how if the lyrics said “he” and “him” y’all would treat it like
it’s a romantic/sexual song but now that they are “she” and “her” y’all
don’t want it to be romantic/sexual. internalized homophobia
It's so explicitly romantic/sexual. It's a story of a lesbian with internalized homophobia who is having really great sex with her girlfriend but feels like she is sinning. Her old "pure" self must die and she must be reborn as a "baby lesbian", which happens at the end. The purple, the rainbow lighting, the near-kiss, the lyrics, it's all reinforcing.
@@loginssuckx3 well I don't think so.. Looks more like a story where you can't stand the evil's temptation and touch something you shouldn't touch (for example like a drug), and then you become impoverished but get to pursue pleasure at the same time. The music video also shows an apple maybe representing temptation (the forbidden fruit). Miyeon appears as an image of an angel high in the sky, Sujin appears as an image of a devil at the bottom, Yuqi is the one trying to get away from the temptation, and Soyeon and Minnie appear as people who are already exhausted and follow the devil. I can’t believe how people interpret this deep story THAT way
@@Lyverah so... you understand that this is an interpretation, but then you imply how you don't like it e.g. "I can't believe how people interpret this deep story THAT way"? we're just pointing out that forbidden motif (as yours does too), and connecting the two dots. why in the verses and the chorus does it say her/she so much? and if you don't like how we interpret the song *THIS* way, then that's okay because it's an interpretation, just as yours is too. neither of us should be 100% fully correct (again, because it's up to us to interpret), so there.. shouldn't be an issue?
This to me sounds like if you took every single (G)I-DLE title track and put it in a blender to create a smoothie, and then sprinkled Put It Straight (Nightmare Ver.) all over it. It is a very weird-tasting smoothie, but a FANTASTIC one nonetheless. I actually really like this comeback and concept A LOT!
omg a great way to describe it! but i feel like all of their songs messages are connected in a way, so it makes sense as to why they sound similar but also different from each other
@@bellatrala4892 I wouldn't be surprised if they were connected, honestly. Soyeon is a visionary, so I wouldn't be shocked at all if she actually wrote this whole intertwined storyline when she was 5yo.
Literally!
I feel like Yuqi is wavering between the ‘heaven’ and ‘hell’. She keeps looking back and at first is looking pure. But then she falls to the floor when we can see the transition between her and Miyeon. When she appears for the second time, she has the red makeup on her eyes and is seen falling somewhere dark and deep. There is also a burning flower between the shots which might symbolize tainting the ‘pure’ flower just like Yuqi is turned to the ‘dark’ that might be Soojin (similar red makeup although more subtle). Maybe she ‘fell’ from the ‘heaven’ and yield to Soojin like Soyeon and Miyeon. Shuhua also seem to be falling to the ‘bad’ side since we see Soojin tempting her.
Well, that's basically the fairies. There is a biblical explanation behind them, with fairies originally having been angels who were doubting wether they should follow God or the devil. Because they were in the middle ground, neither heaven or hell became their home and they were forced to live on Earth for all eternity as a punishment for not chosing a side. With the burning flower imagery, Yuqi just might as well be the biblical versio of fairies.
Miyeon never really seems to become darker though and I think she is supposed to be God, and the dancers below are the lowest ranking angels, and the scene of these danccers dragging Minnie away might be Miyeon/God's decision to cast them out.
Soojin seems like she's the devil, and in the Bible the devil was originally the highest ranking angel there was, but there were more high ranking angels other then Lucifer who fell. I think that's Soyeon and Shuhua as Shuhua is only shown with Soojin and with the same barbed wire as Soyeon. So they are both high ranking anggels with Shuhua resistng, but considering she morphs into Soyeon, it shows that she will end up giving in like Soyeon already did.
I think Minnie is corrupted by Soyeon, rather then Soojin though, considering she is mostly seen with Soyeon and she's looking at Yuqi (who is doubting which side to choose).
I also think the mud is actually their crashingg spot after hell, and the dancers on the ground, circling around Soyeon is supposed to represent the circles of hell, which is their new home.
@@inferiorinferno8859 4:11 you can also see Miyeon getting seduced by Soojin so even she's not pure anymore. Moreover I feel the music video ends in a sense of confusion, where everything becomes distorted and you really can't say what is good and what is evil. Basically, it just distorts the fine line between good and evil.
currently theories are split in two directions:
1. religious theme, but with giving in to a demon (Lilith specifically) [not too familiar with that, if you know, then you could elaborate the evidence in the replies!]
2. religious themes but with a twist; since the song goes "oh my god, she showed me all the stars, oh my god, she took me to the sky" with the rest of the lyrics being very much about love, sensual and passionate, it's about lesbian love and how it is percieved as a 'sin' (with the white turning all red, the colour of love, passion and so on) and the m/v generally having themes of members falling for each other and giving in to their desires. also the phrase "ab imo pectore" means "from the bottom of my heart", which hints to that as well; also there seem to be hints of a 'god is a woman' kind of religion in the m/v
no matter what the meaning actually is, the girls slayed and put out something very unique. 10/10.
edit: with this getting popular I would like to say that y'all should not!!! get aggressive and mean to each other in the replies. let's be respectful of each others' theories and opinions !
edit2 (this is just a joke add-on):
daniel 🤝 fighting for lesbian (and lgbtq+ in general) rights
Omg this got me thinking a lot but I really do see the second one in the mv 😯😯😯
I mean with the English version lyrics, I’m easily leaning towards the second one
@@lillycamp8892 agreed👏👏but with the krn Lyrics it would be in the middle tbh but I totally go more for the second one
daniel harrison wtf the number 2 is absolutely wronggg because soyeon will not write song about this stupid subject it’s not like that trust me lol 😂✨
Plus: there is million story about this song but not in the bad way so don’t think like thatttt ofc gidle will show us beautiful story about what’s hidden in the song
Lolo Pop go somewhere else homophobe
"This song leaves me wanting more" is exactly how I felt with the song. The beginning was incredibly dramatic, but there wasn't a smooth enough transition to the 1st verse, which by comparison is much more typical of G-Idle's usual sound. My favorite part (other than the intro) was the pre-chorus, but the song doesn't really have a real bridge or any sort of impactful climax? It just goes straight from Shuhua's part straight into the last chorus with barely any difference, and then just *ends*. It didn't feel like the song actually went anywhere, and I *so* badly wanted to like this comeback, especially with the concept and the GAY
Omg same opinion!
imo shuhua's part sounds too plain for a bridge, i think it should've been part of the verses instead. then an actual epic kinda bridge with miyeon and yuqi's vocals and finally go really hard on the last chorus
Spot on my dude. It's a shame that comments with insightful constructive criticism such as yours never receive as many upvotes as others praising the song but without any real justification why beyond it being an I-dle song.
Exactly! I'm a little disappointed with this song, but it's still a bop and I will stream it to support the girls :))
Maybe it is kust a first part maybe there is more afterwards cuz true it leaves wanting more and that's the power of the song i guess. It does feel smooth tho along with the storyline and shuhua's lines are supposed to be there cuz that's how the story goes
Me: thinking that PD would like this
PD: uploads 39 min reaction
Me: uhm..oh okay.. well..
Same
I don't get it o:
@@Duchessofweirdness it means that PD liked it bc it's not a short video.
Also you know the mv is THE real deal when PD's reaction vid is 39 mins long
everyone: *coming up with complex theories*
me: hihi gAy
Same, same. I can't help but think gay things and me being a lesbian only intensifies the gay theories. LOL Like, how can people NOT think this is at least lesbian or bisexual related?
With Chuu as your pfp I really don't doubt that 👌
@@deguzmanelreenaya989 that's on period I think
omg that’s so cute lmao a whole ass mood
now we know that soyeon indeed wanted us to read it like that lol
Theory: Soyeon is an angel along with Minnie but Soyeon choses to leave “heaven” where as Minnie was tempted and was dragged out of heaven.Shuaha and miyeon are deties or goddesses who are evangelical and don’t seem likely to “fall”.Sojin is the “devil” who influences soyeon and also tries to tempt Shuaha at 4:42 this could link to how they were both behind barb wire to symbolise purgatory. In the end we see Minnie and soyeon in red mud/blood showing how they fell to the lowest level of hell or they bathed in blood.Yuqi can be seen as someone who watches from afar and that’s why we see here behind the windows watching everything go down but she drops the wine which could symbolise how soyeon is now the devil and is beginning to tempt yuqi and at 2:58 she’s almost in control of hell herself as we see her dance with the creatures but sojin is the “original sin” and could be the silhouette that soyeon reaches out for again showing how she was tempted 4:40 .Finally Minnie returns to the white room “heaven” but with black arms and black writing written on her face showing how she’s tainted. This could all happen because Sojin (the devil) wanted revenge as she was imprisoned at 3:17 and revenge is turning all the angels evil or the other cause of all this could be because they ate the white apple(forbidden fruit) and are being kicked out of heaven one by by like the story of Adam and Eve.
Badara Mbye i could tell you copied and pasted this from the mv 😂 it’s a good theory tho 🖤
Tien H. Of course I was not about to write all that again
I think another thing that reinforces this theory is you can see Miyeon’s goddess seat in the background of Soojin’s except there are no lights and it isn’t glamorous. Soojin cant use it and she’s far away from where someone like Miyeon is.
This is some big brain shit
WHAT A BIG BRAIN OMG
so you guys know how pd says that it “leaves you wanting more”? like there should be a sequel to it?
i personally think that it’s fitting with the lyrics. the song seems to repeat melodies and lyrics, almost like a siren’s lilting voice, repeating over and over again to persuade you into something. that’s the temptation part of the lyrics, where they are drawn to “her” and hence fall in a caged love.
this cycle is endless, constantly repeating itself as well, as you fall in love again and again and even after getting hurt, you can’t bring yourself to fall out of love.
the song seems to almost loop with itself, bringing everything back to full circle. like there’s a melody that extends until the chorus and then rewinds itself back until it’s back at the start, which now becomes the end.
it’s being confused by toxic love, not know where’s the start and where’s the end, but being so intoxicated by “her” that you don’t care to get out, but rather be caught up in this endless cycle of pain and lust
the message is even more clearly conveyed in the english version, talking about how one is like poison but tastes like honey, hinting at the dangerous characteristics hidden behind an overwhelmingly sweet and beautiful face.
even in the korean version, talks of how they know “she” is dangerous, but still, they let “her” in because they’re so hypnotized by “her” beauty
the chorus, being “oh my god she took me to the sky” and then that part about the stars, could be referencing to sexual pleasure, which a lot of people run to when they need to distract themselves or make them forget about something.
this is just my own thought, but as soojin strongly resembles the feminine character they talk about in this song, that dying her hair this color was a way to separate her from the others as well as, once again, show the nature of a toxic person behind a sweet exterior. a lot of people think of blonde as an angel-like color, with yellow shining halos and white gowns. yet, here soojin is, with her sleek, sexy black dresses, playing the role of a dangerously alluring siren.
very quickly after soojin’s little melody, where she stars in the black dress shown, it shows another picture, very quickly, almost flickering, of soojin in a more innocent background with white frills, which leads me to believe that one scene is of her true self, dark and dangerous, while the quick flicker is of what everyone else sees of her, the sweet and alluring part.
when soyeon briefly compares this painful love to a “sugar-coated drug”, it also makes me think that another meaning of the song could be about drugs. how people run to drugs to forget about something, only to be trapped into it, never escaping from it’s grasps. as we know, drugs make you lose sense of yourself and time, you forget. there are too many meanings that could be shown here.
then, soyeon says “if this is a sin, then i’ll pay the piper”, which seems like she doesn’t realize the sinful presence behind the sweet mask that “she” is, but even if it is bad for her, she’s so stuck that she will pay the price anyways
where there’s the latin, it means something like “sincerely”, or “with deepest affections”, which can go 2 ways. one, is that the people that “she” lures in are so sincerely in love with her, or that “she” pretends to say that she loves them too. since this appears right after shuhua’s verse, and a screen is displayed of innocent shuhua in all white, having the phrase whispered to her by soojin. maybe “she” is pretending to also love them so that she can have what she wants, even if she doesn’t mean it
in the very end, minnie is shown almost falling into the dust. maybe losing herself from this toxic love?
all of this ties together, the repeating lyrics, the style of the song, the video, the lyrical meanings, the video. it’s an absolute masterpiece, conveying a whole story of pain and love in a simple few minutes.
eellin oh my god 💯🤧
syahirhasni agh thank you 🥺
eellin hehe I honestly love and relate to how you analyse the song!! Thanks for sharing :))
syahirhasni agh thank you so much, i’m happy you liked it 🥺
This makes so much sense, thank you.
i swear IDLE literally never disappoints with any of their music or music videos, they really went all out for this one
let's not talk about line distribution.....
Chrissslmao you’re right let’s not :) rather then focusing on the negatives we should appreciate all the members hard work that they put into this comeback
The crazy part is that it seems like every comeback they are pushing the envelop... every time they are going all out!!
@@misoobias801 yeah we should appreciate all the members hard work indeed, so we have the right to be sad that some of them aren't rewarded enough for their efforts :( still a great song though
Sakyon It’s ok to be sad, Miyeon is my bias and it’s frustrating seeing her get so little lines but I’m seeing too many people hating on Minnie and Soyeon and discouraging the comeback because of the line distribution. (G)I-DLE still have a long road ahead of them and we will eventually get to see every members full potential.
soyeon wrote the lyrics to all of the songs and also co-composed and co-produced the whole album, she’s crazy talented.
flavi
and gave Shuhua barely lines in the bsides💔
zipozapii Soyeon doesn’t distribute the lines, she writes the lyrics.
@@izonexbae people should know soyeon didnt give shuwha lines in the beginning times bcuz shuwha didnt have confidence with her pronunciation. Soyeon waited and didnt want to give shuwha pressure and started giving lines since uh oh era since her pronunciation got much better. As a korean speaker, I could tell her korean got so much better when she sings. People should stop blaming soyeon for shuwhas lines. All she did was caring for shuwha 😔
Don’t hate on Soyeon
To be honest the song kinda feels incomplete. It ends so suddenly but that makes me feel like there will be a sequel. It might just be me tho
It might also mean that there is no ending and it just repeats itself without having an ending cuz the last part is the same as the beginning and the lyrics are still the same
I’m a bird not a turkey I think it works well. You will be excited for next comeback and it leaves some with wanting for more which lets them stream the M/V again. I don't know if that was the intention but if it is was they did a good job.
Hear it in the album. The next song's beginning Luv U kinda makes it complete
why everyone acts like its a movie lmao a song is a song it should work on its own not with sequels or others
TT OrbSomnia i personally think it’s part of the meaning behind the song. like an endless cycle of caged, painful love? you fall in love again and again and keep getting trapped by “her”. (g)i-dle really liked making their theme evident through all aspects, whether discography or choreography, etc.
Already????
Edit: And this song is so hot ajckcdjs my gay is quaking
The gays r winning
The gays R shipping
The lyrics are sooooo gay
this is the only reaction to oh my god i was waiting for
Have you seen CaliforniaLuv84's reaction? It's hilarious. lol
Multi fandom hamster Who loves jaffa cakes frr, i still crack up watching it to this day
“they can’t handle Soojin...”
Honestly me too tho
The director of this music video also did snapping , fiesta and fallin flower and superhuman ! 💕
Wow this person is a genius
I'm so happy that Cube has given such freedom to Soyeon. I feel like they did it just because they didn't have time, but after Queendom, I feel like she's gotten more money and liberties and I love what she's doing with it.
It definitely gave me Queen of the Damned/ Lady Gaga vibes ♥
27:55 "they can't handle Soojin"
Well neither can I
theory time:
soojin is the representation of lust, like a demon. she drawns soyeon and minnie to herself, making them go crazy because she's is a woman and to them, this is wrong (the feminine pronouns during the chorus and soyeon's rap, they're the only ones to sing it). soyeon ends up being taken away and killed for sinning, being sent to hell (the mud and the hands grabbing her representing the purgatory), minnie kills herself by shooting herself in the head (the scene where she makes a finger gun and shoots herself, followed by a scene where dark fluids flood the floor around her), her sins being shown as her clothes get stained and her hands get black such as the demons pulling soyeon and goes to hell as well, joining soyeon in the purgatory (the last mud scene)
I think the mud scene represents the falling of an angel. Soyeon was an angel first but fell over Soojin's temptation, we know that because of the white and black scene that looks like a flashback. Minnie, in the other hand, is in the process of falling and her final transformation and scene in the mud.
Also, Soojin and Miyeon's stages are the same but from different perspective. Miyeon is above and the dancers on the floor, which may represent her being a deity or an angel, while the dancers are the demons underneath. Then later we see Soojin with the demons, wich may represent her bein the "demon queen".
@@anacoronado6410 that makes sense! thanks for your analysis, it really adds up more to the story than mine JSJSJSJDJ
omg I loved these comments =)
In other videos i've seen something involving yuqi as the angel who opens the doors from hell or smthing idk im going to watch the mv to get smthing and maybe ill come with new ideas xD
@@alberttarruella826 omg that's so cool!!! pls, share your theories as well 💕
@@DomainOfEden ok now i've seen the video again (btw now there are captions =) ) and there's a scene where soojin is tied with some ropes but later she frees herself and i think yuqi has something to do here but idk what. And i saw someone say that they bthought soyeon and shuhua were angels sent by miyeon to battle the devil (soojin) but she's too powerful and ends up winning them (we can see soyeon in the mud, kinda of like a purgatory or the mud representing the darkness? idk, but we don't see how shuhua ends so she could have a different ending) im going to focus on yuqi and ill be back XD
G I-die literally gets their hands dirty. Soyeon and Minnie mur scene had me in awe. Literally no company would ever do this to their girl groups.
The most artistic song and mv I’ve ever came by since I’ve become a kPop Stan. I liked them before. But this comeback made me fall in love and Stan. I love the depth with the concept. It’s not surface level. It has theory and emotion. Soyeon having a strong hand in production for the group is really pushing them to the top. She knows her members strengths and personality. Wish more groups were like them
Golly. The longest comment I’ve ever written
This is probably a controversial statement but I hope fairness never becomes the leading motivation behind line distribution. It should be about what sounds best. Yuqi’s high range with her deep voice is often used in their pre-choruses to give urgency and momentum before the chorus. I honestly don’t know if she can do falsetto. I think each member’s voice fits the story of the part they sing. Also Yuqi said in a recent interview that they all chose the line distribution together. Oh My God distribution to me seems average. Dun Dun and So What seems much less balance(No hate. I love Loona and Everglow). Lion was about as balanced as it gets. Shuhua has always had less lines per HER OWN REQUEST.
THIS
People are complaining about Soojin getting too many lines while she is the main dancer
But this song is like a "sinister" and dark song, so ofc Soojin will suit it so much!
Let's just all hope their next song will have a more suitable verse for the other members
Brit Ling Yeah, it’s always funny to me how people like to talk about who’s “era” it was for each comeback but they get upset about a certain member having too much or too little. If someone can slay an era and it suits them then should they not be given preference. In OMG’s case, Soojin fit the devil storyline perfectly, so it makes sense to me that she would get all of the devil parts. But yes, I agree. I hope we see more songs in the future that fit each member in a more balanced way. I know they can do it: Lion is a great example.
Someone had mentioned that Soojin is reprenting Lilith, the first wife of Adam in the old Testament, who was considered a temptress and a demon. In the twentieth century she's become a symbol of power and associated with feminism.
PD's "I don't know, I'm not hip with the things" just really got me
"Hauntingly beautiful" is probably the best way to describe it.
This song is very similar to Lion. Structurally, at least. Shuhua's part really was the nail in the coffin for me with the two. I love it, but it seems almost too similar to Lion for me personally. I do appreciate the sorta lesbian vibes to it, though. Very good but I wish it was a bit different.
lil nas tasha I agree, it very similar to lion, and j it t not a bad song, I just wasn’t as impressed
@@1japanfan883 Agree. I'm seeing so many comments comparing with it Lion but I just don't see it, not even in Shuhua's parts tbh
@@1japanfan883 Agree to disagree! Still a very solid, strong song!
@@1japanfan883 I think it's not only Shuhua's part and Minnie's opening/ending. If you listen carefully, the "Oh my god" from Soyeon is almost in the same musical key as the "ba ba ba" in Lion, also Yuqi and Miyeon's build up are quite similar in tempo when you think of it. It doesn't make the song any worse, but there is a similarity, kind of like a sequel.
Agree. Shuhua’s part here is very similar in her part in Lion. It just has very similar melody and structure. The chorus was a little underwhelming.
i preferred “Maybe” but Shuhua had 0lines lmao so i’m glad Oh My God is the title track
Same
collapsedone always there to create such good b sides
I think they should give more lines to shuhua in b side songs since they dont usually perform them live, so shuhua can build up her confidence and everyone can have a better idea about her voice
her part sounded just like her part in lion 😭
Dany Acosta theres a lil change, like in lion the tune of her part went up but here her part went down😂
This song has a total different vibe, concept, and rhythm from lion, but the structure is similar
watching reactions to their songs make me miss soojin more 😔
but I love people being amazed by this mv
This is definitely a very experimental song for I-DLE it seems, but I like when groups experiment. It just means that as a listener, you'll have to listen to it several times in order to kind of understand the progression of the song and to enjoy it more. It took me like 3 listens, and I immediately loved this song. I-DLE never disappoints and every song they make is just amazing :) I'm glad Soyeon has this freedom that CUBE gives her to write songs.
I had the same thing with "Seniorita" after a couple of listens i started to really digging it, but i liked it at the first listen.
This time i really dont know how to feel about this at first and was kinda confused, hyped and kinda disapointed (never felt this befor with g idle), but after hearing the song like 10 times i was still a little bit confused but its start to getting my favourite song from them. What is going on?! 😂🤯
if anyone's noticed that when Form of Therapy reacts to G-Idle his videos get longer and he has more to say each time. When he reacted to Latata, it was 9 mins, and now his reaction to Oh my God is 39 mins! This shows how he's liking G-idle more and more throughout each comeback.
omg yes 39 minutes for this gay masterpiece
@@Liesel2812 who knows
@@Liesel2812 i mean you can analyze it and twist it anyway you want but on a literal level it's very gay. the Korean version and especially the English version sound like they're talking about a relationship with another person and not themselves. lesbian rights!

You always point things out that I would’ve never seen myself. I’ve watched this about 5 times and it’s never occurred to me that soojin is practically being worshipped by soyeon.
idle: 'Oh my god'
nevies: OH MY GOD PD OH MY GOD IS HERE PD PD PD PD
pd: OH MY GOD *shoots reaction asap* here ily all thank you for the support
nevies: TT ty uwu
Here’s a theory from me: Soojin represents someones inner demon that’s both worshipped but also not wanted, Soyeon had already gave in from the start, while Minnie and Yuqi didn’t, yet. Miyeon represents the goddess or ig the good side inside someone, she never really hits the ground like others. Yuqi is tempted by Soojin in the start and then we see her give in too. Minnie also gives in but in a more prisoner kinda way. This all came to me from her scene with Shuhua; Soojin whispers to Shuhua and Shuhua gives in to her inner demon becoming Soyeon, who is a demon.

My theory is that Soyeon is a devil (bc of how comfortable, cunning, bloodthirsty she acts), Yuqi is an angel that went to Miyeon (goddess) for help. We can see a dark, eery flashback from Yuqi when she saw Soojin (satan, can tell bc second flashback shows her blonde hair) in power with Soyeon (bc short hair) looking up at her. Miyeon exposes the poison and tells Yuqi she must overcome the temptation but in the process she gets affected by it (red marks on her face). Soojin is Satan, she’s commanding, powerful, and outstandingly cunning (blonde). She holds a white apple, like disguised temptation (forbidden fruit). Shuhua is an archangel (she has power, lyrics say she covered the skies to lure people to her power), and she gets corrupted by Soojin (Soojin whispers to her and she changes into Soyeon, a devil). Minnie is a fallen angel that got trapped into Hell with Soojin, and she so desperately wants to get out (always trying to escape/end her suffering unlike Soyeon). In the end, both Soyeon and Minnie are punished, Soyeon still embraces it but Minnie suffers, tainted forever (tattooed face, black on her clothing). EDIT: Soojin could also totally be Lilith, since she represents everything opposite of Eve and could’ve been Lucifer’s first woman (correct me if I’m wrong!)
This mv has the same directors as Seventeen Fear, Chungha Snapping, IZ One Fiesta and other artists. Rima Yoon and Dongju Jang have such a recognizable style. I love the way how they do the lighting and the fast snippets of shots throughout the video.
Omg why you uploaded this when I’m on the toilet lmao. Now ima sit here and watch the whole video 🤩🤷🏾♂️
never a dull reaction from u! thank u for this detailed and in-depth reaction!
One of the most well produced videos of the decade
Honestly no hate towards the idols but some of blackpink's mvs have unessential extravagant sets n visuals.....basically over-exagerrated sets which is unrequired n just spending dollars for nothing only showing off brands n expenses......but gidle's videographers and set designers made a perfect balance throughout the mv n have been pretty consistent
Kudos cube👍
24:10 this part could symbolize that even though Shuhua was the last strong and pure person, after being tempted by Soojin she fell for her like Soyeon did.
minnie has an amazing low register voice, and i think miyeon sings better in high registers, though i agree the line distribution is kinda shitty.. but thank god shuhua still has lines (although still pretty short) in the title track (let's not mention the b-side tracks jfjjsjf) at least she's not just doing the adlibs like pspspsps onda in dundun and vivi in so what pspspsps. it's significantly better than latata (where shuhua only gets the latata x8 parts) but could be better. and i think people are pretty much bored with yuqi and miyeon in the prechoruses, and mostly soojin and soyeon in the verses. they're all talented girls and i have nothing against any of them, but a little change in the line distribution would be nice.
I totally agree with you, but I Neverlands are so protective (as they should be) that you can't really criticise the line distribution without being called a soyeon-anti. Shuhua's korean has been massively improving so she can finally have some parts, but for me she's been kind of relegated to the "bridge queen" position (her part here was the same as in Lion with a similar key). I think the main issue is that since G-idle like to experience a lot, they inverted too much their positions and a main vocalist like Miyeon finds herself with less than half Soyeon's lines which is crazy. (RIP onda and vivi tho)
@@sakyon6621 yes !! but being called a soyeon anti if you're not satisfied with the line distribution is ridiculous,, i totally understand your point tho. tbh if you're looking at them based on their songs, not their official positions, i would say that minnie is the main vocal, soojin is the lead vocal, soyeon is the vocalist and main rapper, yuqi & miyeon & shuhua are the vocalists. i just think it's a little unfair for miyeon if they're labelling her as the main vocalist but the lines she gets is the same as the vocalists. could soyeon just produce a 6min song so each of them would get one full minute of lines HFKSHJF
Yeahhh structurally this song didnt stray that far from the IDLE song formula. I wanna see miyeon and yuqi's amazing vocals get more tailored usage, miyeon sounded so good in pop/stars she can really shine with that US pop style
I really like the haunting vibe of the soft beginning (and ending) + Yuqi's voice sounds so rich and deep in the pre-chorus + the chorus is genuinely chilling (in a good way). But the other parts in between underwhelmed me.
The MV, on the other hand, is a work of art that I'm looking forward to re-watching over and over to decode all these references. Also, I'm interested in the lyricism because it seems open to multiple interpretations.
Overall, I hope (G)I-DLE keeps dabbling in different genres and concepts. This was a bold song and even if Lion has more of a title track feel, I respect Soyeon's persistent experimentation.
If I recall correctly, soyeon said she was inspired to make the slow drop in the chorus after her True Damage collab (mentioning Duckwrth's part in the song)
As soon as I watched the MV I was like “well, can’t wait till PD reacts to this one.” 😂
I love this song so much. It took a few listens for it to really sink in, but once it did?? Phew, hooked!! Thanks so much for sharing your opinion with us! I love watching your videos!!
I don’t even stan IDLE, but this might be song of the year for me.
I hope you give them a chance
You really are a man of culture.
a man of culture indeed
So tell me what is stopping you. I can surely give a heads up! They are so worth it... 🙌
Sabbir Shuvo no reason really, I just haven’t really went fully in. I’ve always liked their stuff, just never went full Stan
The Characters
SOYEON: LILITH
SOOJIN: THE DEVIL
MINNIE: EVE
MIYEON: GOD
SHUHUA AND YUQI: FALLEN ANGELS
Theory: Soojin is the Devil. Her makeup, costume, and platform where she sits depicts her as a dark and eerie being. She was seen holding an apple, where in the bible, the Devil used it to tempt Eve. In a way, the chorus, was like a song to her. It depicted her ways of temptation.
Soyeon is Lilith, as she was portrayed in scenes in Hell and she was close and praising the Devil (Soojin).
Minnie (Eve) was being dragged in the beginning like she was being thrown in to the asylum-like white set which symbolizes the wastelands outside the Garden of Eden. Soyeon (Lilith) was also seen here, suffering the same fate after she refuses to obey Adam. The clothes she is wearing will gradually change, from being clean to being tainted or "corrupted" in the end, symbolizing the temptation of Soojin. Also she was seen in the mud, or Hell. The people dancing around Minnie symbolizes that temptation.
Miyeon is God. The platform she was sitting on was surrounded by clouds and lights, and her face was full of sparkling diamond make up to make her appear divine. You can also see how her platform was higher than Soojin, meaning she sits in a higher position than the Devil.
Yuqi and Shuhua are angels that served Miyeon, however, they were tempted and corrupted by Soojin, as you can see in Yuqi falling in to the void and Shuhua turning into Soyeon (Lilith).
Very deep video and very good execution. Proud of my girls tohave come up with this work of art. 12/10
Keep doing longer videos, it's amazing to watch you break everything down✨
I can't believe this G(idle) can be that G(idle)in dumdi dumdi
I'm just so happy I randomly came across these girls when I bumped into those KDA songs and got curious because of Seoyoon's awesome rapping.
I’m SO glad you reacted so quickly ❤️ this video BLEW my fucking mind.
This video of yours is everything. Im so happy that they released this MV so that you could share so much of your intel, it's fascinating! I really appreciate you listening to your viewers and totally understand the points you made about the general format of MV's in your 'Kick It' video. Fingers crossed there are many more MV's as creative as this throughout this year as I love watching and learning from your videos!
12:40 in this case, you can move frame by frame with at keyboard actually
btw, this kulture study is so long haha
(6)I-DLE is perfect 💜
i actually really enjoyed this longer form video! of course i appreciate all the work your editor has put in pre-COVID, but i guess one positive in all this was being able to see more of you talking about kpop mvs!!
This MV is my personal favorite, hands down. Just like this reaction is my favorite from the channel so far. :)
Your analyses are always so whole, but this one is definitely the deepest I've seen.
For real, don't you dare stop.
I was disappointed at first because I wanted the song to sound more like the intro and outro but I still love it. And MV is incredible
Nikola Hetn true, most ppl who r disappointed was bc they thought it will be more slow like the teaser
It sound like an intro tho, or prelude not even sure what it is called but it's like they are slowly creeping out on you to leaving you wanting more
Thanks for explaining the mv story. Most reaction video just be like "OH WOW" "THAT'S INSANE" "OMGGGGG" then end the video without any useful content. great job!
excellent in-dept review! loved every minute of it, thanks PD!
I just watched the whole video, and wow I didn't think I'd like your reaction so much, since there's no real cut it feels very "genuine". Loved the fact that you described the concept in itself but more specifically the cinematography, the scenes and everything !!
the fact that theyre singing about "she"... i love them
here's my theory on the mv (written at 3am, mind my english)
-miyeon : the protagonist, the god/goddess, the almighty (being on the higher pedestal and soojin on the lower one) (or maybe the only one who didnt fall for soojin)
-soojin : the antagonist, the devil, seducing her "preys" by pretending to be good, soojin true self is always wearing black, but she changed into her white outfit when she was with shuhua, there's a scene where she is wearing white and the lighting changes onto different colors means she's able to manipulate and cover her true self to allure her preys, she's also holding a white apple
-soyeon : already fell for soojin's charm, the mud scene and being surrounded by soojin's followers shows that she can't escape hell anymore even if she wanted to, if the member that was floating in the air was miyeon doing the hand pose (fans suspected miyeon was the one doing that pose in the concepts image) and soyeon lookin at her that probably means soyeon is still hoping there's a way to escape hell and go back to miyeon but it seem very far/impossible, if that's soojin like pd said that means soyeon will always be unde soojin's control
-minnie : already had the taste of the sin too (showered by wine/blood) but in denial, she dont wanna become like soyeon, she's trying to escape from soojin's followers tempt, but in the end she failed, her hands became black, there're words that soojin whispered to shuhua painted on minnies face, and at the end she finally became like soyeon and trapped in hell
-yuqi : she's confused, but enjoying the tempt at the same time, she was in paradise-like place (probably heaven) she's lurking around that place wanting more of that pleasure but also seeking for enlightenment (looking out the window/fence), and thats why theres a lantern between hers and miyeon scene, bcs only miyeon is the answer/ the only one who can save her, and then miyeon showed her "the consequence" of that sin by dropping her wine goblet(?) and showed what soyeon has became, but yuqi still ended up falling for soojin (symbolise by her falling, and the red eye make up in her 2nd scene)
-shuhua : she's the purest out of the 4 of them, even when she's constantly tempt by soojin and her followers (surrounded by barb wires and the dancers) who are hoping she becomes like soyeon (symbolise by shuhua turning into soyeon after soojin whispered to her)
yuqi and shuhua are probably miyeon's angels(?)/followers since both of them started with fancy settings and make up, shuhua stays faithful to miyeon but yuqi is curious and temped even tho she was already in heaven like adam and eve, judging by the white setting soyeon and minnie are probably fallen angels who used to be miyeon's angels, in conclusion everybody wants soojin who could blame them
i was waiting for this!!! the visuals are so mesmerizing in this, it feels like a whole movie in less than 4 minutes
such an insightful breakdown. i always love how deep you go into the video
Oh my god (no pun intended), I have been waiting 9 whole hours for this
this comeback gonna make me a nevie, ive never heard anything like oh my god in kpop before
This MV is literally the one you watch it and at the end you say "Oh my God indeed"
I just love how you view videos! I always learn from you. How to observe videos, shots, concepts even transitions 💘
Song title: Oh my god
PD after watching the first time: Oh mY gOd
I’m finally early. I was actually watching another reaction and just immediately switched to yours.
the way this mv could have a whole trilogy or books- this content they gave to us is so interesting and every single details means something. It feels like they work on this for a whole year. From the camerawork, lyrics, background, movement, gesture and light work is AMAZING
Thank you so much for this video PD. The analysis was very in depth and educational keep that up.
The white crosses looks like they're in a graveyard and then turn into white crosses "in the sky" like they are stars. This is what I love the most in kpop mvs. They're full of metaphores.
We have here the story of girls who wants the sky, then fall.
The fact they are their own godesses is amazing, by the way ^^
This entire album is outstanding!! Amazing title track and the best bsides since I Am imo! This is Soyeon's world, we're just living in it haha
Every so often I get the urge to relisten to the I Trust album over and over and in the end I watch people's reactions to Oh My God and Lion because those are easily two of my favourite Kpop songs to date, and finally I've come here. I don't know why I've avoided this channel for so long because I love how the way you dissected things and described things was so intentional, and breaking apart the editing on the music video and describing pieces I'd never catch myself and their intent is really cool. A lot of folks like to dissect the song itself, and knowing nothing about music I can just nod along and pretend like I know what's going on. But I know things about editing and cinematography so talking about those aspects included in Kpop is so refreshing and perfect for me.
Love the full breakdown. As always thanks so much PD!
Rigend Film did it again! Their MVs are amazing, seriously! (THE EDITS ON THEIR WORKS ARE SICK) I feel like I could connect Taemin's WANT with Oh My God, they have this same dark religious type of concept and I love it! ❤❤❤
Howling... Oh my god... And chocolate!? This is the best Monday I've ever had!!😭😭😭
Did he upload his reaction to chocolate???
@@yaso_pexy3737 not yet, but he's reacting to it next
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS !
I love how much you broke this down! Great video!
I was waiting for this reaction!!
pd: releases a 40 minute video
me: HELL YEAH
No matter this video being super long I watched everything! Your analysis and explanations are so good. I enjoyed it so much! 🔥
Plus, using Latin there was... As a Classical Languages student, I must say, RESPECT. Amazing..!
I think this is my favourite G-IDLE song. It used to be Hann, but *omg*... Oh My God has definitely made first and second places at the same time in my ranking of faves.
*Ab Imo Pectore: From the bottom of my heart.*
I definitely had that 'this doesn't feel complete' feeling too, but I found the sound and visuals so interesting that I listened to it again and again, and looping the song really makes it feel more complete (the idea of a loop, or a circle, has religious meanings that tie in with the song/mv, and this is even seen with Minnie beginning and ending the song). It's a song that wants you to press play again - to become 'addicted'. So the feeling of 'wait, it's over?' is on purpose imo. It's not going to be everyone's type of song, and I actually like that because Idle are taking that risk in order to evolve their sound. Another comment said Soojin is like Lilith, and beyond the whole 'demon/seduction' thing, they also mention 'sky' repeatedly and Soojin is seen with a lot of wind elements. This ties into the Lilith story (name often translated as meaning female demon/wind spirits, and in one version of the story she 'took to the sky to question God').
Other little things I like: Miyeon's 'throne' is empty in a lot of the background shots, showing Soojin doesn't need her throne, she has her own dominion; and the other girls are shown as falling/descending, whereas the wind around Soojin is often raising her scarves/silks into the air, the roses are going upwards, even at 4:03 she throws her head back several times and you see her hair fly upwards. Also Shuhua seems to be the only one not showing any kind of resistance or nervousness about Soojin??? Which is just so Shuhua lmao.
Anyway, PD, thanks for getting this out so quickly - I was really looking forward to your reaction to this one!
Yes this part 33:24 onwards. What PD said regarding KPop transitioning to the American market is on point!
Was looking forward to your reaction and thoughts so I really appreciate you uploading this so soon!
wow, that was some next-level analysis. Made things really easy to understand, and I think you analyzed the storytelling spot on. One of the most artful MVs I've seen.
