OKAY I HEAR YOU 😅 - I’ve never been hit up this much for a reaction but here it is. Thank you for being somewhat patient lmao hope you enjoy! 💕 Also - Sorry for any audio issues! I’m playing around with a new mic 😭
The last line translates directly as "the pervert is you". I know people complain about translations all the time. But in this case, the correct translation does make a big difference
Let me add two curiosities: The girls said in a interview/variety show that Cube (their company) at first didn't want to go ahead with this concept, but queen Soyeon fought for it. Also, the budget for the MV was lower, but again she fought to get a raise because she knew it would worth.
The actual lyrics are "I'm born nude, the pervert is you" which got really famous and a lot of people started using it. Also this song helps prohibiting people from search "child nude" in Korea as "idle" means child in Korean
to me that last line hits harder when it's directly translated as "the pervert is you" even though their translation fits too, i just feel like the whole song is such a statement and to end it with that is so phenomenal. pretty much saying that the only reason society thinks of nudity and sexuality in such bad ways is because of perverted people, not the ones they're looking at.
Shuhua dyed her hair for the first time for this concept and Soyeon said she had a whole differnet concept ready if Shuhua refused to dye her hair. Best. Leader.👏👏
I recently found out from an interview Soyeon did that one of her objectives was to clear the searches of child nxdes, and to guilt trip those who search for such things. Gi-dle's korean name "yeoja aideul", translates to "(girls) children", so if someone were to search child nxdes then this song would come up, as well as some of the lyrics like "why you think about nxde" and "the pervert is you/you've got a dirty mind". Which prevents people from easily obtaining such content.
The name (G)I-DLE in Korean directly translates to 'girls', and I-DLE also translates to 'children' She erased off all the inappropriate contents showing up when people would search up girls nxde or children nxde Captain Jeon is a genius
The last line, "You've got a dirty mind", could be directly translated as "The pervert is YOU." and it just hits so hard like omg,,, there's people who've put up threads on how some of the lyrics could've been better translated and reading those lyrics made the song so much more impactful
This is why I love (G)I-DLE. They aren't like any other kpop group out there and they address topics that most shy away from. Even if you don't like the song, the lyrics are still fire.
yesss!!!! recently started stanning them and do not regret at all...i was initially hesitant to try any other group than bts but now i really love gidle too. I love how both bts and gidle address the issues that must be talked about.
@@samiksharaj-sf3dc I started out that way too! I only wanted BTS content and no other groups, but I eventually branched out and I’ve fallen in love with so many groups since then. This is only the start!!
@@makennamajus2013 Oo yess!!! Although im not going to stan any other groups because i feel like home with bts but yeah im trying to listen to underrated groups who works like bts. Gidle is amazing, also i recently listened to Oneus, they are fabulous.
What’s funny is that soyeon said the growl in yuqi’s part “how do I look?” Was an accident and soyeon loved it so much she kept it in the song - *I heard this from someone else*
I honestly love your channel so much! I think your one of the only reaction RU-vidr that I truly like. I love how you reaction based on the way you want to
This comeback was fire, they broke everything with it! I really recommend the other songs of this album too (not to you necessarily react, just to listen them if you want to). If you do so, here's a tip: the storyline starts in the 6° song (dark x-file) and ends in the 1° song (Nxde).
G-Idle dedicating their new song to Marilyn Monroe and having Minnie do her “diamonds are a girls best friend” look in the beginning was so magical and so impactful tbh? Bc people have always seen Marilyn in such a negative light and it’s so amazing that idle is able to show that she was a beautiful woman by switching the context for her by dedicating this song for her. And the addition of the shredding painting was amazing. I knew that reference right away bc it was such a big deal in the art community. The painting was shred after it sold for millions. So cool. They’re truly amazing with all their Easter eggs. I knew it would be a moulin rouge type concept and I’m so happy about it. The stylists kicked it out of the park 🥺
Their ex-member Soojin is a big Marilyn Monroe fan and fans believe that Soyeon also made this comeback for Soojin and you can even see the similarities between Soojin and the animated blonde girl in the video. I'm gonna cry, bye
I was exactly there with you!!! The concept is freaking amazing. The first listen of Nxde was just okay? Like it's definitely a bit out of the box. I think Tomboy is more public friendly. Nxde is a bit too eccentric for my tastes but in the theatre show way, and it's not really my taste. HOWEVER, it definitely is super catchy. I really like many different parts of the song a lot!!!! So, it still goes on my playlist
They expected that…some people love this song to de4th but some dont like it because it’s too different from other Kpop songs….they didn’t make it for the charts anyway, it’s for the arts…the song achieved 129 Perfect AII KiII though, to my surprise..because this song is so unconventional and not public friendly…they never play safe anyway…
Thank you for actually going deeper than just the sound of the song, so many reaction channels are saying they hate the song but are completely ignoring the message
You mentioned in the intro folks saying 'finally' etc about your reactions, and I just wanted to comment that I personally LOVE awaiting your reactions to groups I stan, even months later! It's just joyous for me to be surprised by you. So you take all the time you need on anything - we'll still be here. =)
Ahhh, I’ve had SUCH a tough day and this notification made me yell “YESSSSS” out loud. Your energy is such a spirit lifter Caitlyn! Thanks for always being so fun ♥️ Hope you’re doing well
The song is DEFINITELY a grower. the first 3 listens i found it underwhelming and didnt find the melodies memorable now im addicted to the song!!! Also the mv is amazing they look STUNNINGGGG and I love the message they portrayed
THANK YOU. You are literally the first reactor who actually grasped the message behind the song. I've watched so many reactions to Nxde and NOBODY actually put thought into to convert and it's importance. Thank you!!
soyeon is actually smart for this bcs she doesn’t want people to be viewing child pxrnography. since idle in korean is similar to child, when people search for idle nxde, it filters out child pxrnography
(g)-idle sampled Georges Bizet - Carmen "L'amour est un oiseau rebel", a famous opera, often used for burlesque/ cabaret performances. With the Marylin Monroe and Banksy inspirations, this MV is also very Moulin rouge and Betty Boop inspired. The choreo is also inspired by some of the Moulin Rouge performances, especially the French Cancan
This song is a masterpiece! Music wise, the mv, and most importantly the concept, everything about this is so unique. I love how they went with such a bold concept, as they always do. And I admire them so much for it!💜
the song and concept is a masterpiece. no one is doing it like gidle. i really think this is such an important song for women in the industry and just for women period!
The purpose of the chorus is to be a bit sultry and to be "stripped down" to pair with the visuals/overall theme of the video :D Soyeon really is a genius when it comes to concepts and what will suit them/show their colors well. :D
Marilyn Monroe and Banksy references are so GOOOOD but what's makes it even better is the message they were trying to tell, it's deeper than some people may think. I feel like GIDLE is the only 4th gg that dare to do this type of concept.
you are actually one of the first reactors, aside from pd, i watched who was able to understand what they were trying to portray! I was going crazy with all of the other reactors not getting it!!!!! YOU JUST EARNED A SUBSCRIBER! I LOVE YOUR MIND!
apparently there's a trend in sk where grown men tend to look up for children's (ai-deul) nxde as well on the internet, so whenever they look it up now it will show idle's nxde (this song) instead 🥹
Thank you so much for another reaction Caitlin! Honestly, you're one of the only reaction channels I watch that not only I enjoy their content, but they inspire me to look at kpop a different way and through a more broad lense. I appreciate your reactions quite a bit and I'm very thankful for all of the reactions you've done and the groups that I've been introduced to through your content
I was gonna comment something about the song buuut OMG CAITLINNNNN!! The quality of your videos have SKYROCKETED!! From the layout, the background, the video quality, and the editing- everything is so clean, sleek and gets the point across without looking choppy! Wonderful video- Keep going! I’m so excited for the next one!
At first I liked the song but wasn’t my favorite. After listening to it more it grew so much on me and is now my favorite title track ALSOO Soojin (the member who left) actually loved Marylin
(G)I-DLE is really reminding me of 2NE1, which is funny because I found them through the cover they made on Queendom. Love the messages of the latest comebacks
Did you know that Soojin loves Marilyn Monroe too? So I also feel like the song is dedicated to SJ too, especially with that animated lady with her mole placement under the eye.
Okay I have to say shuhua (the one in the green dress during the second pre chorus) when she during the first chorus sang the how do I look (she was sang the second one after miyeon ) I feel like she had so much impact in her voice i love her my bias isn’t her but she’s close.
Yup, you got it and thoroughly understood the message of the song. Nothing to add on that front, haha. As far as the musical take on the song itself... I feel like a lot of people have said they prefer Tomboy on first listen, but similar to your experience, it really grew on them. The "How do I look" and "latdadada" lines are just sooooooo... CATCHY. It's definitely an earworm that you'll just remember hours later and come back to.
the image being destroyed at the end of the video is a reference to an event that really happened, in a gallery a painting was exhibited that when everyone was in place it began to break.
Cube dont want the title Nude because they afraid it would be censored but this makes Soyeon want to name it Nude even more to change people perception. So they decide to go with Nxde, but broadcasting still has to pronounce it as nude and didnt censor the title because its already too popular 😂
Love your reaction, as per usual❣️ ngl I was a bit worried at first when you weren't pausing the first time, but then you did and you went all the way back from the start! I was so relieved haha😂 if I can make a request, I would love to see your reaction to Classy's new comeback: Tick Tick Boom, and Zealous✨
Apparently Cube is throwing a lot of money at them for the last 2 comebacks for their music videos, promotion etc. i am so glad they are, as these girls deserve it 💕💕💕
hii caitlin, i was rlly having the most terrible day today and also due to treasure's new. thankyou for uploading it brought a smile on my face :( love u
Totally agree with your assessment. On the first listen, I loved the concept but didn’t love the song. On the third listen I appreciated the song way more and the choreo sold it for me. Also agree that I loved Tomboy first listen and was absolutely in love with the whole thing.
I'm so happy with this reaction! Honestly love your channel very very much, so my heart skipped a beat when i saw this upload! What I like the most about this comeback is the fact that they said that maybe the public wasnt going to like Nxde so much, but they wanted to do it anyway, to show the industry who they really are. Props to Soyeon for the whole concept, she's really a genius. I also recommend the rest of the album, it also has music written by Minnie and Yuqi. Thank you so much for the video! Loved ❤
So happy for this!!! Honestly every time you made an update I was waiting for it to be something of them 😂 I hope you react to some of their albums sometime, they’re amazing 💗
I’m doing okay lol I’ve been pretty vocal about my depression lately. I haven’t been at my best BUT it had absolutely nothing to do with the girls or the song! I just think my energy isn’t like how it normally is. Thank you for caring tho! I’ll get better! 💕
omggg bro this reaction is soo good. ik im rlly late to this but ur reactions r so good bro keep it up fr ur so funny and genuine like actually!! 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶
i don’t think my orginal comment posted but basically what’s amazing about this song is that soyeon wrote this song to get rid of malicious searches. g idle name in korean is aideul - which has another meaning of children so if any disgusting person was searching aideul + nxde then their song would turn up instead of what they would be looking for
