(G)I-DLE 'Nxde' MV 1st REACTION & REVIEW | DG REACTS 

Oh my god, people are saying that the cartoon is actually Soojin?! There was a certain mole that made that theory very believable 😭Oh if only she was part of this concept for real! This was incredible, and as always, these are just my opinions and my interpretation of the mv, I hope you enjoyed the video!

My favorite lines from the song are "I'm born nude" and "You've got a dirty mind." I mean, they're right. We were welcomed into this world without any clothing and nothing about us should be sexualized. We should wear whatever we want because it's our body.

This is what drew me into K-pop a lot of years ago. A REAL concept and sending a message with it. Literal art, a musical in three minutes. Something that gets you thinking. By the way the line "You have a dirty mind" is mistranslated or for whatever reason it doesnt hit as hard in English. The literal translation is "You are the pervert". And of course it had to be Shuhua delivering that line

this song reminds me of the time when yuqi respond to a netizen whom commented about her bit revealing outfit

The fact that you caught yourself saying how beautiful they all are and critiquing that shows just how well you got the message. Like yes they look gorgeous, sexy, but focusing on that aspect alone in a way proves the message. Just wanted to say that. Great reaction!

Soyeon actually takes it to another level with the title. Child pornography is a big problem in Korea (as many other countries). G-Idle’s name, “Idle” is the same word as “children” in Korea. So she hoped to filter out some of the results of child predators’ online searches by playing with these words. When they look for “Idle Nude” (or “children’s nudes”), they would instead get results of G-Idle’s song, “Nxde”.

I didn't know where this song was going with the intro, and damn did the whole thing blow me away. The style of the MV is just on another level. I do love how they address the responses they expected to get with a title like nude in the actual song. "Rating is just the inverse of bliss" - I take that as meaning, if you are obsessed with ratings, success, etc., you are very unlikely to find happiness. Whether it is your own success or the success of some other person or group. You can certainly see Banksy's influence in the recreation of when he set up for one of his pieces of artwork to be destroyed when it was sold with a shredder in the frame.

12:56 the Korean '행복과 반비례하는 평점' means 'the happiness that goes inversely proportional to the ratings'. I think the overall quality of the subtitles in the official MV is actually impeding foreign audiences from understanding the lyrics :(

Shuhua's voice is everything 🥺🥺🥺

Small detail in Leaves of Grass, the book Soyeon was holding. Leaves of Grass is also notable for its discussion of delight in sensual pleasures during a time when such candid displays were considered immoral. The book was highly controversial during its time for its explicit sexual imagery, and Whitman was subject to derision by many contemporary critics. Soyeon's attention to detail is INSANE! G-Idle is my ultimate favorite group. Their concepts and their self produced/written songs just hit way harder for me than other kpop groups. I also found them at a time I was struggling and they just inspire me so much!

One thing I noticed and I don’t see being talked about enough: stage persona vs real person. Marilyn wasn’t just the most desired person alive: she crafted herself as such. She was a shrewd businesswoman and a. excellent actress who managed to fool everyone into thinking she was dumb, innocent and available, when she was none of those. This parallels the idol life quite closely: even the most honest and transparent idols must cultivate a mask, they cannot ever completely be themselves, and cultivating the parasocial relationship with the fans is integral to Kpop artists’ success. They may hate and cringe at aegyo yet they do it because it is an expected part of their job. In the start, Minnie is saying how she is slightly dumb but pretty. This is what a lot of people want from their idols. Where is she saying it? On the stage, surrounded by adoring audience. But Soyeon shows a voracious reader, with interest in philosophy, a self-made woman. Where? In the dressing room, behind the stage! This is the real Jeon Soyeon, the real Norma Jane Mortenson. The stage persona and the real person.

People can be so judgmental and hateful :/ The first thing I saw was people complaining about Soyeons opening verse and how a lot don‘t like the English lyrics. They‘re not my favorite either but straight up hating and complaining is just stupid. Kinda reminds me of how much hate Sunmi got for her rap in „You can‘t sit with us“ 🙄🙄 Anyways the song is amazing, Yuqis voice got me 🫠 And Shuhua is absolutely stunning and hearing her voice more is just always amazing!

YAY I was waiting for your reaction again☺️ I absolutely love the “How do I look part” especially when Minnie sings it :D

"I don't give a Love" insert another 4 letter word there starting with F- 14:11 I got the feeling Soyeon is being displayed in a box to the public, and the message is "think outside the box" so maybe the point is she is more than a dressed-up doll on display.

this is a bit off topic but while watching and seeing Seyeon's line: Audience booing and shouting "You're a Liar!" kinda reminds me of the classic popcult movie Jennifer's Body where the promotion is solely for the male gaze where they show legs and just megan being her sexy self, then audiences who we can assume the "target audience" of that movie had a meltdown for how bad it is when clearly they can't handle a megan fox possessed by demon/succubus that eats men with "no single shot of her entirely naked body" throughout the movie 💀 they were enraged for being baited by the seductive promotion posters and disappointed they didn't get to see what they wanted 😹👁️👄👁️ clearly a movie that's ahead of it's time that's considered an example of a female gaze cinematography

Bliss is the opposite of rating something, or rather developing expectation and your opinion is the opposite of just accepting what you see, is how I understand that part. Great breakdown, as usual.

I love this mv, it's sexy, it's bold, it's colorful, and it's so much fun. I think it's just simply a satire on the word/term Nxde.

I must admit that I was very worried by the title of the song. I don't want to associate nude, x or provocation with kpop. but i was worried for nothing SOYEON is so smart and she know than if she bring the word NUDE people will be intrigued and interrested. but not by the good thing, the song deceives us and SOYEON plays with us. very clever to hijack this word, and the other members are all incredible special mention for YUQI she is dazzling.

i also like how all of them have their hair color as blonde or versions of a blonde tone, almost as if in a nod to the whole "blonde bombshell"/"dumb blonde" era that was associated with marilyn and many other models at the time, and even to this day

simply find that our industry does not need that to exist. and the last thing i want is for kpop to look like what "pop" can produce. the fact of creating buzz or chaos to have attention rather than talent and texts that make sense. fortunately SOYEON is a genius. I know how she works and the concept of the PIN UP of the 40s 50s and Marylin Monroe is very good for (G)IDLE. once again SOYEON tries concepts and takes (G)IDLE further. I'm not sure this title can be more popular than TOMBOY. but I support them as always I think (G) IDLE, IVE and BLACKPINK are the 3 best GGs of this year.

Great review, man. Loved it. There are so many layers to this its mesmerizing. You seemed to really dig into all the key points.

i'm almost entirely sure soojin is the animated character, they both have a mole on their face at the same place and this concept is basically made for soojin it's sexy and bold

역시 소연이다 인정한다 소연이는 천재다

I like how much in detail you're reviewing the song, concept and lyrics. This is what I'm expecting from a reaction video and THANK YOU!!! I'll watch your review of their album now. 😊

I was waiting for your reaction idle never disappoint 😳

Exactly they all look amazing

Them queens killing every concept

can’t get over this 😭😭😭😭😭

From going pop with tomboy…. They went back to avant-garde music.

Idk why they translated 'Byeontaeneun neoya' to 'you've got a dirty mind' when it actually means 'the pervert is you', which sounds better to me tbh

An instant favorite. Soyeon Genius brain.

gidle never dissapoints!!!

I love this! ❤

아이들 이번 노래 진짜 너무 좋죠..... 뮤비 리액션 해주셔서 감사합니다!★

I really I’m in love xx
