feminist anthems of k-pop 🗡️ (pt.1) 

If I'm honest I was so ready to roll my eyes at this video because i thought it would be yet again a girlboss badass boss bitch anthems compilation (I can really enjoy those types of songs but they definitely don't equal feminism to me), but i'm glad you chose songs that were truly tackling the societal pressures women face. Great video !

Gidle has: Lion, Tomboy, Allergy, NXDE, Queencard it is amazing what they do. Soyeon also produced NO by CLC.

HIP and Nxde will forever be iconic. Mamamoo and Gidle are one of the few groups who aren't people-pleaser as they just do their business not caring about the hate thrown at them but make a song about it as a response.

"feminist anthems of k-pop" (G)Idle - Hold my hole discography

kiss of life promoting female solidarity is so heartwarming, i think it really shows how this generation prioritizes solidarity among all girls instead of seeing them as competition or as a threat

mamamoo is sure feminist, and yess i am is my favorite. when hwasa said "If I wear sleeveless shirts in wintеr, It will become summer" and wheein "Light makeup, 'cause it's troublesome. I don't show skin, no need for that" both is opposite without put down each other. You can love make up and revealing cloths, also other who loves modesty is the same confident woman.

(G)I-DLE entier discography saying helloooo

Wanna be myself by mamamoo is also soo good

Fun fact, ah yeah was made because of the censoring they had to do in up & down

I think that maybe "Ugly" and "Go Away" by 2NE1 might also fit this category.

You should add everything by Hwasa as well, especially I Love My Body, Maria and I Do Me.

I love how you can see how groups like mamamoo and exid have paved the way for newer ggs! their brand of shameless autonomy and self-expression has definitely influenced groups like gidle and loona

So proud of Mamamoo being here. My favourite lyric from Yes I am is "If I were to describe myself I'm a confident woman. To put it in words, a woman of feeling, If you think you can do it, you can follow me (You can) follow me".☺

Knowing Soyeon from Gidle wrote and produced NO by CLC makes them even cooler. A true example of girls supporting other girls.

Not exactly a song but the first thing that came to mind was Solar ripping her shirt off during her BTS Fire cover performance.

Literally every song by Mamamoo could be considered a feminist anthem. Just a year after their debut, they released Ahh Oop, marking the start of their feminist stance in the industry. Later on they released songs such as Yes I Am (uplifting all women and encouraging them to be comfortable in their own bodies), Egotistic, Gogobebe, Hip, Aya, Wanna be myself, and their OST WOW + many more with solo work & b-sides!

BoA - Girls on top; Woman Lee Hyori - Miss Korea, Bad girls

ugh this is why mamamoo is my top group followed by gidle 😫🩷

Can't believe that 0 miss A songs are here when they were one of the first Kpop girl groups releasing obvious feminist songs like the famous "I don't need a man"

Love this, but one minor correction: Soyeon doesn't actually get surgery in Allergy. She goes in for it, but in Queencard, it shows she didn't do it.

I think the shift from Allergy to Queencard is also so powerful, like it's "you may be down but don't forget, you're the queencard that everyone wants to be!"

im so glad you included kiss of life! they are underrated and i really love their songs

ahh oop! is such an underrated song from mamamoo’s discography

it makes me laugh when someone hates on a woman for being a feminist. like yes my guy, I am going to fight for my rights and equality! As a woman!

When you say feminist kpop, the group that comes to my mind first is (g)i-dle!!

The fact that Soyeon wrote No for CLC

mamamoo and g-idle are leading the feminist kpop movement and I'm kinda serious

we need wonder woman by brown eyed girls because it talks about feeling empowered in A relationship and we also need to see roll deep by HyunA

Good compilation. You should add the 2nd generation groups (at least BEG and 2NE1) ; not sure about the 1st gen. Also, soloists like Bibi.

i love seeing clc and mamamoo and gidle in this videooooo id say much of gidle's discography is feminist anthems as well as clc's pepe! id also say 21st century girls by bts counts hehe GREAT VIDEO KEEP IT UP

THIS is exactly the reason why my 2 favourite groups are Mamamoo and (G)I-dle ❤

here is another feminist anthems of (G)I-DLE Sculpture Liar Lion Tomboy Queencard Love liar and sculpture is my favs although they're really underrated:/ their b-sides definitely deserve more attention

There's a sistar song that talks about domestic violence. The woman whos beat up by her husband ended up falling in love with her girl best friend and they kill him in the end haha

Maybe Taeyeon's - "#GirlsSpkOut" is a good fit as well

3rd generation:Exid the queens of woman empowerment 3rd generation:Mamamoo the queens of woman empowerment 4th generation:G(idle) queens of woman empowerment 4th generation:Le serafim the queens of woman empowerment 5th generation: Kiss of life the queens of woman empowerment And the fact im a fan of all the groups even makes it better ❤

Chica by CHUNGHA

the way i expected queencard after allergy (its implied tho lol)

I think kpop fans can forget that feminism can be different in Korea than how it is in the West. Which is why people argued about the message of Nxde being "legit". Nonetheless this is a great list overall 👌 👍 👏

Maybe Gentleman by Kiss of Life, from what i understood abt the lyrics, it says girls don't need no gentleman they can do well by their own

(G)I-DLE the queens of feminism

i was 11, just a little boy when i found exid and clc. and i'm STILL watching them grow with me. i'm just... so proud of them, you don't even know it🫀

notife how they are all 2nd gen and 3rd gen and then their is gidle and kiss of life

Bad Girls and Miss Korea by Lee Hyori

Not me watching this and hoping that Hyuna was not included so that the video wouldn't age poorly.

*she's so pretty, yeah so lovely, she got everything, why am I not her?* always gets me

Bloom by Gain!! Female sex liberation anthem!

that video is SO good! I even got emotinal, thank you so much!

ooohhh i loved the video esp because you give context/little note with it ❤❤❤

Honestly So What got me listening to Loona and more into kpop

I thanks the recommended video to show me this one, it's really good and interesting !

thank you for that great video :)

2:51 And the bridge is a masterpiece

Now we gotta add super lady by gidle

why was i tearing up watching this video omg

Gotta make this into a playlist and work out with a confident and determined attitude 😌

who's there after super lady and wife slaying the place for another k-pop feminist anthems🤑

Mamamooand Gidleare the Queens of Girl Empowerment ❤❤ of their own gen.

Mascara and puppet show by XG

SLAYYYYYYYYY❤❤❤❤❤

Never knew i would see kiss of life here happy that their songs are on such topic

Happy women's month everyone🎉❤

where’s female president by girls day

The tirle is a weird way to spell (G)I-DLE

This video would be nothing without (G)I-dle. I'm a proud Neverland! 💜❤️

Why i don't see Girls On Top by BoA? the lyrics of that son are WAY too advanced for its time bc now it is fashionable or there is a certain freedom for ggs to release feminist or empowerment songs, but when BoA debuted everything revolved around the pleasure of men, but BoA really forged the foundations of the industry

Lion

i watched it well!! Waiting for your next videos.. My fav gg is Blackpink unniedeul

Girl how did you made it It's showing copyright in mine😭

About, Ahh Oop! it was supposed to be eSNa’s solo release, but RBW forced her to do it as a Mamamoo collab. When during the promotions she got hate bc of the way she looks, RBW told her to step down. Starting from the next day, all promotional material and backgrounds mysteriously didn’t make any references to eSNa, despite them having to be sent days-a week in advance to the music shows. Edit: I wrongly accused the video of putting Mamamoo ft. eSNa at the artist, but I will still leave the story of the song here

Remember yunjins solo song

I just want to tell you that Uhh Oop, sang by Mamamoo AND eSNa is song composed and did entirely by her, MMM were forced by company to sing it with the soloist. She wrote it and produced it, but the company didn't let her sing it alone, forcing both MMM and eSNa to sing it together. It's eSNa song! As much as I love MMM, we can't discredit the original owner of the song!

AND NOW YOU CAN ADD WIFE TO THIS LIST LOL

Does perfect world by twice count?

I find the messaging in Allergy rings a bit hollow when paired with the MV. "Not even knowing how to put any make-up on" when she's wearing a full face of on-trend makeup the whole video, has her hair done in 'messy' waves that we all know took a stylist at least 20 minutes... it's the tired old industry trend of putting jeans and glasses on an extremely conventionally attractive skinny girl and pretending that makes a difference. It'd be a LOT more powerful if for even 5 seconds in the MV she was wearing no makeup, or clothes that were ACTUALLY cheap/unflattering, or basically if she didn't spend the whole thing looking like a fully produced Idol who put some glasses on.

Indian dimples?

Just want to say that the no celestial lyrics are wrong, it's freaking because Eunchae is a minor. The video is amazing and tbh gidle's entire discography fits here

What about triples capitalism?

Also BTS : 21st century girl ❤️

this is a great video idea. my only criticism is that the format looks very cheap and shitty, like the notes and the background.

Where is everglow? FIRST ? La di da ? Pirate ? slayyy?????

These songs represent traditional feminist goals and values which is great, and it’s too bad modern feminism doesn’t match :/
