Who else is having a classic 2ne1 songs marathon tonight? It takes me back to my elementary (6th grade) days. The very first time I got introduced into Kpop. That’s the only time I became a fan of a Kpop group. And that’s the last time as well because after them, I’ve never liked any other kpop group or songs again.
YK KW Dara was kicked out as a trainee because YG felt like she wasn't ''Hip hop'' enough and they wanted her to become a actress but Dara didn't give up and after singing this song YG realized her talent and confirmed her as a 2ne1 member
Taemin has a song called Pretty Boy. The lyrics are "I may always seem pretty. I may always seem good. I may seem nice. I may seem soft. But that's all a part of your imagination. They say pretty boys are always like this. They say pretty boys only follow along the flow of things. I'm above the imagination of you. Look at that poor girl... She says "you're a guy so..." like a habit. Why is being sensitive the opposite of being a man?" and then boom, "Baby, I'm not some greenhouse plant that everyone easily talks about. Baby rather than the tough guy who are all talk I'll give you a different kind of trust." Basically Taemin's song looks like a response to this^^
I don’t think so. They’re saying things that men usually say to women, like “be more feminin”. They tell him to be “manly” and to “change himself” so I don’t think it’s meant to be a male empowerment song.

they're basically using the same things men tell women every day, back to men. if you actually pay attention to the lyrics, it's like they're responding to the sexism they've experienced from men.
It’s a response to the men who think women should be pretty, dainty and feminine. They’re saying that if they’re expected to be the ideal of what a woman should be like then they should take a good hard look at themselves first and fit into the ideal of what a man should be like before coming to them. A tit for tat kind of situation. And “you’re not for me I’m not for you” is them saying “This is who I am and this is who you are. Let’s just accept we’re not each other’s type and move on.”
