AN OG KPOP STAN'S POV- ITZY "Bet On Me" M/V 

Ah man this song made me emotional the first couple times i listened to it. It’s such an uplifting song about overcoming obstacles and the unnecessary hate they got through this last era. It truly is a masterpiece and i’m so excited for their next comeback

Ryujin was locking herself in her comfort zone. In the end everything crumbles snd sge decides to unlock the door. Yuna was stuck fearing what others thought of her especially from the previous eras. She escaped with Chaeryeong. Lia is in a closed box with her thoughts. She frees herself. Chaeryeong getting scars from just dancing- from being herself. She comforts the scarred Chaeryeong. Yeji can't stop running bc she's the leader. She fears stopping because everyone is counting on her. The girls run alongside her. She's running still, but she's no longer alone

Ryujin and Yuna’s vocals in the start. Lia’s blonde hair. Ryujin and Yuna’s rap verse. Lia’s, Chaeryeong’s and Yeji’s vocals and the lyrics made me so emotional because I really feel the message of the song! THIS IS MASTERPIECE

Speaking on Chae pulling Yuna along made since. In one of their friendship partner interview Yuna shared how when she was 1st a Trainee, she saw Chaeryeong as a celebrity she grew up watching on TV. So she was starstruck when Chae chose to sit with her at lunch one day.

Itzy is my whole freaking heart. 🥲

It's not just they joined Yeji after deciding to face their fears. Yeji was the one who ran throughout the MV which symbolizes that her as a LEADER-she has to keep going for her group members. She need to be strong so that her members will be influenced or motivated by her to overcome their fears. It kinda feels sad knowing that Yeji wasn't able to explicitly showcase her own fears because it highkey highlighted her responsibility as a leader.

I like how the song touches on a couple of important lessons within the main lesson of having faith in ourselves and overcoming self-doubt. Firstly, it is how we must first help ourselves before others are able to help us. You see it in Yuna's storyline - The others at first help break her out of the train only for her to continue to remain trapped shortly after, and it is only after she breaks herself out that she is able to actually escape. Another is in the lyrics. They acknowledge that success isn't actually guaranteed. That sometimes, even when we try, we can still fail. That the doubts and flaws we see in ourselves can sometimes come from a real place. It isn't all just in our heads as some mental block that we can just overcome by simply believing in ourselves. Rather, we become better by trying, maybe sometimes failing in the process, but trying again until we succeed and that it is the act of trying for ourselves that is the most important part.

Even with all the hardships coming along, all the hate. They gotta keep running, or more like they gotta keep moving forward. You can't stop these girls.

I wept!! I'm so happy with this direction! 🥰 they won me back 🎉

This came out in such a time that I can feel my self relating to this a 1000%

リーダーであるyejiはどんな時でも走り続けなければならない..孤独だ...😢

I feel like this is ITZY's "Feel Special" comeback: a different style with a beautiful MV and really important lyrics. Also, These are my interpretations of the members and the different scenes they're in: Ryujin: she's locking herself in her room and closing the blinds, she's choosing to not face the world, but as the video progresses you see that the windows are open and wind is coming in blowing her stuff around. I think that represents the fact that you can TRY to lock yourself out from the world, but the world is going to seep in whether you want it to or not, so it's better to face it head on, than have the "wind" mess things up for you. Lia: I think the box with her holding a teddy bear represent her inner child, or - because there's a lot of crying motifs (teddy bears and paintings) maybe it's the pressure to lock your emotions away. It could be both, and her part is there to show that it's important to face your own sadness and let it breathe, not just hiding it away in your old childhood bedroom. You need to "unwrap" the box and open up more. Yuna: She's on a train by herself, and seems apprehensive about going into the other carts with other people. I think this represents her feeling like things are moving forward "too fast". Like she's stuck on a ride with people she doesn't know and with reminders of her past "perfect self". The k-pop industry is simultaneously asking for idols to change things up and bring a new look to the next comeback, while at the same time staying the same, and maybe Yuna feels overwhelmed by that? I Also think it's interesting that the other members find her, and help her get out of it; maybe it means that it's okay to lean on friends too. And if you're unsure of where you're going, you can at least have your friends. Chaeryeong: She's surrounded by her dancing "replicas" but also finds herself sitting down looking very sad. The sad Chae has wounds and seems like she's given up. I think this represents that it's possible to be really good at something, and it can really impress other people, but you might still have wounds that you're healing from that one one sees. With Chae specifically it's probably a reference to how mean people were about her when they debuted. Her message is that you need to accept yourself as you are, wounds and all, and that the most important friend you have is yourself. Yeji: she's running the entire video, I think she's sort of "figured out" what she needs to do. But at first she's alone, not just in that she's running alone, but there are no other humans in her "world". She's outside, but it's still empty. I think this represents not being sure which way is "forwards". Sometimes she's running in darkness with no background, and I think this means that she really can't see where she's going, but she's still running and jumping. I think Yeji represents not giving up, and eventually she's joined by the other members, both fixing her "Problem" of being alone, but also showing the other members that it's important to not give up. This is something I've picked up over multiple watchthroughs, but it's just my personal interpretation. I'd love to hear what someone else thinks, do you see this in another way?

You're one of few youtubers that I actually wait to react when ITZY releases new MVs!! Finally! I really loved your reaction. I think this song and MV is about self love by going out of their comfort zones and moving forward -- choosing themselves while at the same time acknowledging their fears and doubts. Running to the light at the end of the tunnel is a great metaphor for going outside of their comfort zones to move forward and grow further to be a better version of themselves. Beautiful.

This song is everything! 😭The meaning, the mv, beat, vocals, visuals and rap!!!

This song has sooo many hidden messages. I love it ❤️ Lia blonde hair I saw it in head in the clouds. They are all soooooo pretty

the tunnel also parallels the tunnel in dalla dalla 🥺

Ryujin singing and not just rapping right! Great! Also great messages in the song, you go believe in yourself! You got to fail sometimes to success yeah!

Unbelievable Ryujin and Yuna vocal&rap 🤩

I always appreciate ur channel bc u both always break it down nicely. This is probably their most authentic and vulnerable track after going through a lot of self doubt last year bc of the unwarranted online hate to their comebacks. I'm glad they've overcome that doubt and realized it doesn't matter, they just gotta believe in themselves regardless if they will fail or succeed

Not watching teasers or trailers for anything is one of the best things I've done. This goes for not just comebacks, movies and tv shows as well. Gives more of an impact when watching the actual thing when it comes out

Idk why but the tunnel scene made me cry cuz i think they want to go back to their dalla dalla era or they want to leave the era

pace switch from them. It's really nice.

From one midzy to another you got my support. I loved the song and so excited for this era.

I was waiting for you reaction!! Thank you for this reaction. Bet On Me makes me really emotional. Knowing how the girls went through these past years, it made me emotional reading the lyrics 😭

bet on me didn’t have teasers at all like the only time we heard about it was when they dropped the calendar for the comeback then radio silence. which was pretty intense cos we have no idea what to expect but it was such an amazing pleasant surprise when i first heard/watched Bet On me.

Thank you for reaction ^^ This song really touched :(

I really like your interpretation!!Do you know that when this song first came out, many people didn't understand their behavior, including why yeji kept running.Thank you for truly understanding the story behind this song and publishing it🥹🥹🥹🥹

So happy for you that you’re back in a condition where you’re able to enjoy all those live concerts!

you’re my favorite midzy reactor thank you so much! you once again didn’t disappoint. Bet on Me is emotional, encouraging and powerful

Finally! I was waiting for this ITZY Bet on Me reaction video from yours!

Yeo i agree wit u on that,. She was practically haul assin the 8 mile the whole time and she still looks super gorgeous👌💯❤️

i love this song, video and lyrics

Been waiting fir your reaction and i know you will decipher this mv beautifully. A real midzy will get emotional to this ❤

Love this song def my fav itzy bside

perfect explanation

This song is a literal slap to haters who said that itzy can't sing

THIS IS VERY WELL CONNECTED TO LETTERS TO MIDZY MISS THINA!!! I HOPE YOU REMEMBER THAT VIDEO :

Soooooo emotional. Ive already said so much on this song, nothing else to say but to make sure our girls are appreciated and seen.

ITZY OFFICIAL COMEBACK IS ON JULY 31 WITH THE TITLE TRACK ‘CAKE’ FOR THEIR ALBUM “KILL MY DOUBT”. PLEASE LOOK FORWARD TO IT!! ITZY BET ON ME M/V OUT NOW!!

I saw some comments in the original MV saying that they cried at the end of the MV... I actually had tears in my eyes while listening to your analysis... BET ON ME is a MASTERPIECE!

Thumbs up for ITZY> thank you for sharing. I appreciate you.

Itzy’s ‘feel special’ written by jyp

15:52 i think she uncover and find her self in the labyrinth of boxes where she was trapped.

This is my fav ITZY song. First ever goosebump for ITZY is this song itself.

Omg, yaaaaaaaaaaaas, I’ve been looking forward to your reaction😍

I can clearly see why this would be loved not only by midzy but also by casuals because it is more than being an itzy song. It is a letter, an encouragement for all people to not put yourself in a box that even if you're scared run and listen to that small voice shouting inside

I'm excited for the ITZY poster 😊

This MV makes me so emotional every single time. I love them so so much. I got the same goosebumps watching TWICE Feel Special when it came out. Protect our girls at all cost.

I love this song,brings out the emotions.Their best so far for me.

This song is so emotional if u get the meaning of the mv and lyrics omg literally cried when it dropped also idk if you realized but the part where Yuna was saying she wants to get out of that part of the train it means like the hate train which you can obviously see pictures of sneakers era where they got hated on the most

I like the train symbolised their journey as idols the past years. From the greatly doubted rookies to stars and the hate train during the checkmate era. Their cb is literally a leap of faith for them, as they represent their brand in a different form. They used to be that unapologetic youth and now i feel like their cb dwells on the crisis and wins people face in their 20' (adulthood).

i love ITZY Bet Kn Me too

this song hit the feels so hard. FYI this video is representative of all the hate they've been getting after SNEAKERS and BOYS LIKE YOU. yuna literally in the hate train looking at the SNEAKERS and BLY posters. I cried when I first heard this.

Its such a calming song

Your Bet On Me reaction is the one I’ve been waiting for hehe thank you for this video! Love your insights 🩷

GREAT review! This should be a turning point for ITZY as a group and we now wait and see what's to come with this album and the next two MVs. I'm here for it and I'm a fan of ITZY so LFG!

Your reaction is what I expressed when i heard this and seeing the MV, They are maturing in a way that JYP is finally coming around that ITZY needs to break from their old style to new style of sound…I hope we can get more like this as a comeback

Proponent is the word you wanted

Pretty different from theirs previous songs but I really liked it

The lyrics ATE

You're really one of the ones I've been waiting for to upload a reaction video to the bet on me mv

This song have a lot of meaning to it self doubt, confidence, anxiety, insecurities and loneliness. It was written by JYP and the song relates to the conversations that jyp had with the members

我喜欢你的解读！！！是我目前看过最棒的reaction！！

I would love to see Itzy rule the world !!! I absolutely love these girls

Thanks

Love this song :))) my itzy girls have grown so much

I wish i could like this reaction multiple times! 😢

We gotta love ITZY being the realistic Queens!

Its presingle and had the best track so far this year

Liked it but it’s same style girls have great voices let the group go deeper into the other side they would rock a metal line.

I feel emotional thinking about what I am going through and what Itzy gone through 🥲. This song is vulnerably masterpiece ❤️

I CRIED WHEN I FIRST WATCH IT HAAAAYS

❤

You look really good today you could pass for a Kpop idol

ITZY 예지 리아 류진 채령 유나 얼굴 예뻐요 마음이 좋아요 노래짱 춤짱 화이팅 사랑해요 짱 행복하세요 ❤😘💋😻💗💘💯

Youre reaction very cute

This is ITZY'S Feel Special

Queeens

This song hits different now because of Lia's condition right now 😢

I feel like the pictures of Yuna are non-coicidentally pictures from Sneakers & Boys Like You... two songs they got a ton of hate for. I feel like she's trying to get out of the train that is nothing but memories of that dark time, and into a healthier mindset with everyone else. Halfway through the video, they tried getting her through to the next subway car, but she eventually stopped when she realized there's STILL pics of Sneakers around her, and she stopped and got sad again. I think she probably took the hate the hardest, being the youngest. But I get super emotional at the end when it's Yeji fearlessly running forward, onto the next great chapter... then she convinces Chaeryoung to join her, then Ryujin, Lia & finally Yuna. Thinking of them cheering each other up in that order also gets me emotional. This is all my theory, it's how I've interpreted this video. And I cannot help but cry every single time. It's so vulnerable and emotional, and I LOVE that the focus is on the lyrics and meaning, and there's zero choreography.

There wasn’t even a teaser. The music isn’t promoted at all 😩

Yeji's running scene seems a lot like Jisoo's running scene from Lovesick Girls.

From me as Yeji is A Leader in Itzy, she leads and needs to 'run' Itzy although most of her members gets in bad days like that. And then she helped one by one of her member to be better and run with her and believe in themselves. Yeji helped Chaeryoung first when she went through that she is ugly description things, and then helped Ryujin to be more free to world, and then she helped Lia to be more open with herself like trust to her voice and then lastly helps Yuna to make her believe that she is just not a pick me girl that most of the haters labeled her. Literally Yeji Runs her group to stick together so that they can achieve together.

please react to Bet On Me Dance!!

NMIXX 화이팅 사랑해요 ❤😂🎉😅❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
