NewJeans Debut Was NOT What I Was Expecting! (NewJeans (뉴진스) 'Cookie' Official MV Reaction) 

The lyrics seem very sus but others have said it's a mistrans??? But like... Why would HYBE of all companies mistranslate lyrics on their mvs though??? It kinda doesnt make sense, I mean, granted NWJNS is under ADOR and it's a pretty independent label afaik but like...

Very suggestive song imo. But even if they aren't my cup of tea they have an audience they are talented

why do ppl not wanna admit they're being sexualized it's VERY abvious

Honestly Sebastine you're not wrong, the song does give sexual vibes but it almost seems hidden under the catchy beat of the song and their voices. With the recent allegations being made against the manager of their company, I hope New Jeans doesn't enter any scandal before they get to enjoy the kpop world like Lessarafim. (UPDATED INFO BELOW) Now that New Jeans have explained the meaning of their song (with cookie being used to represent their album/CD) it's easier to understand now. I suppose the confusion was just due to interpretation especially because of the English lyrics in the song.

About cookie, the english lyric is a little bit mistranslated. Like the korean people usually says that. And they explained about the 'cookie' is actually a Cd and like their music.And they talking about like come and take a lookie to out music, 'taste it' like 'listen it' and baked on my place is like recorded in my studio. These kinda lyric. And this why in their cookie mv there is their Cd at the back

Attention, hype boy, and hurt are b-sides! If you saw they’re schedule it said that they would debut on August 1st (today) with cookie :) Edit: hurt is the only b-side!!

yall screamed "let people enjoy things" when i said it was weird to be stanning 08 liners and look where we are now. their ceo is a ped0 and their debut song is suggestive. good job guys!

actually they link cookie to their cd, because of the round shape I suppose, that's why later a floating cd comes out and they talk about how addictive it is.I think they just didn't think about how someone who speaks English could interpret the lyrics.

Its funny because Koreans don't think it's sexual. There is something lost in translation here maybe. I've heard that where we as Westerners used to "burn" CD's back in the day, Koreans used to "bake" CDs. Apparently the cookie represents their album and how tasty it is to your ears. Still as a westerner myself, I can't get over the sexual nature of the song and the songwriters must have known how this would sound to western ears.

I like Cookie and think introducing their CD and music that way is brilliant. They really are showing how much of a solid group they are and I can't wait to see what next they drop. It's hard for me to see myself getting disappointed with their music.

Cookies can be guessed as CDs. So, cookies and CDs appear alternately in the music video. Min Hee-Jin put her memories of her her own old CD her in her song 'Cookie'. Above all else, in the old days, we burned CDs and listened to music, and in the cookie lyrics, "we baked for you" so lyrics we love our song so much, you will keep looking for it like cookies, right? contains the meaning of And this New Jeans album was created by developing the CD format, and it is a song with such a meaning.

Could you react to hypeboy by them please

I love so much your reactions i love so much NewJeans i love so much this song

They explained what the song meant on their recent insta post but overall it is a good song

There songs so far are actually really good I’m looking forward to there future discography

Their awesome!💜💜

It's actually not sexual, the translation is actually not while written

COOKIEEEEEEEE YAAAAAAA

new jeans💥💥

they are minors thoo

U havent heard hype boy, its very catchy like attention

6:40 whos name is that?

Please react twice icant stop me it's a vocal song and there albums are dope

The only problem i seem to find is the age. Because songs like this and them showing their face while singing this is just plain wrong, you'll find pedo's going to meet & greets and NJ (newjeans) will be portrayed as "sensual" or something like that if yk. And creeps will think of them like that. Which is problematic for the 14 year old. BUT its not because of the lyrics , like idc if a 10 year old it sings or understands it. like that's no big deal people learn about that stuff youngggg-(especially nowadays). But the aftermath of this can be very bad ofc! I will and will always listen to this song because its a bop. I will not tolerate them doing performances of this song , or just promoting it. That will not be good.

Great react i like your reaction BUT! You should react to NewJeans 'hurt' I think you really like that song!

There is no problem with the lyrics. Koreans used the expression "baking CD" from a long time ago, and cookies mean their debut album in the lyrics. That is the culture difference. This is a FAN SONG.

Attention, Hurt, Hypeboy >>>> Cookie

um..I can see why you think that way but that's because cookie can mean something else in the english language, but not in Korea. Koreans only know cookie as the eating cookie, they know NOTHING about what Americans could think. I'm pretty sure there were no sussy intentions. I really hope you don't misunderstand..

Catchy but yes sexual they know what they are doing! Totally inappropriate for these young girls

Hey if you wanna die of laugh i recommend you EXO SEXO VINES!

I did not enjoy the song at all, but the choreography is cute 👍

cookie = their album

No bc why is no one else disturbed by how suggestive this song is?? This is a group of 14-18 year olds. Like what are they talking about? Min Heejin is back at it again and I’m starting to worry

the lyrics are creepy even the english parts

People are being intentionally obtuse the song is suggestive, of course you can explain away to make it more appropriate, that is definition of an innuendo. Like that's the whole point of innuendo the double meaning. Like y'all stating its a mistranslation but like it IS an Innuendo. That's the point you can take it innocently at face value but you know it has connotations. Like next y'all gonna tell me Milkshake by Kelis and Ice Cream are only about milkshake and ice cream... sure Jan. Like of course you can say it's just about the music but it's playing on the suggestiveness. Like it's not explicit, but given the who issues surrounding their age and their creative direction it raises some eyebrows a bit

Basically this is their debut song but with their debut ep they have 3 title tracks which were Attention, Hypeboy and Cookie. Great songs dude great songs

Very solid. Don't think I'll ever stan them, but younger fans are in good hands with all these new groups debuting with a bang.

I mean the lyrics do give off Make a wish english version.

Fact:New jeans includes member who is 14 years old.

Hybe boy and attention were a better song in my opinion

PLEASE REACT TO HYPE BOY... IT'S THEIR BEST SONG FROM THE EP

Cookie is not sexual I think only westerners take the word “cookie” as a sexual innuendo because a lot of Korean people in the comments of this video say the lyrics are childish and innocent, the members also refer cookie to their cd 💿

Please react to 👑Jackson Wang's new release CRUEL, its insane! 💯🔥

Cookie means CD!! Make a little cookie, means like make a little music. It's actually shown at the beginning and the end of the vid. HONESTLY!!! The people who immediately think that cookie means vagina is DIRTY MINDED. It is not their fault if you're dirty minded. Fight me!!

The songwriters of cookie are fluent in English ( the lyrics are really suggestive + the facial expression are just a no no) If you ignore the lyrics the overall song is giving me Red Velvet's (velvet side) vibes.

I love this song regardless of the meaning it’s hella catchy and so good to dance to 😡❤️

All the haters are out, but these girls are fire , the haters can go listen to WAP and shut it....

PLEASE REACT TO HYPEBOY! in my opinion it’s best one from the ep:)

Bake in Korean is 'ppang gubgi'. Burning CD in Korean is 'gubgi CD'. Both use similar sound of 'cookie'. That's why a cookie roll in at the beginning & a CD roll out at the end. Cookie in asian culture simply means baked dough. It is no fault of Koreans that it carries sexual undertone in the western culture. Just like Korean 'nae-ga' means I. It is no fault of Koreans that it sounds like the 'N' word used in the western culture as slur against black people. People bashing NewJeans are either ignorant or opportunists wanting to eliminate them from competition against other rookies. The world is a better place when people stop looking through coloured lens at other cultures.

its not suggestive at all, they explained that its a fan song that they wrote and the things that people are taking as innuendos just aren't its more innocent and literal for example: "looking at my cookie, the scent alone will make you see. You cant stop at one bite with me." theyre talking about a literal cookie it just doesnt translate well.

Listen to "Hurt" & "Hype Boy" by New Jeans

Maybe there's another meaning on the lyrics and i see it but i don't want to think about it, the music is catchy the girls voice are beautiful and the dance make me pooping soo i like it ❤

Omg you gotta react to jhopes lollapalooza concert!!! The full thing is on youtube.

at first the lyrics made me laugh so hard LOL, but then I mistook them because of the people who commented on twitter that the subtitles had a double meaning 😭

Seb, this is not their best song. Hurt and Hype Boy are much better songs, you should react to them! :)

As far as i've seen korean people have been saying the lyrics are very innocent in meaning in korean, but the translator for english used popular english phrases without taking it into context. so it turned out pretty suggestive.

YOU NEED TO SEE HYPE BOY!

Did he alr checked hybeboy out?

On twt it was said that the translations are wrong

Hi there please react to SF9 SCREAM you haven’t react to them on your channel.

It's not sexual. It's just Americans' mindset. Stop putting everything into your own frames. Only Americans read into it. For Koreans it's just a cute song. Stop being xenophobic

In korea, cookie means cookie. Cookie means their CD In this song.

korean lyrics is nothing like the english lyrics. some say it was marketing so..if it was marketing, it is working cause people can't stop talking about it. in marketing they have a saying, "no such thing as bad publicity" if it was planned marketing, you all got hustled !

New jeans is nothing sexual I think new jeans is not sexual

it was bro but be side all that this group newjeans there type of music bring me back to mid late 90's to early 00's type of flow of music

They singing about that cochieeeeeeeeeee 😂

some of the lyrics was mistranslated

It’s good, I’m going to listen to it, but I’m not okay with it

New jeans debut song is cookie. The debut on August 1

14~18years old…

seb pls react to their other title track hype boy

Hi seb, can you react to pixy - addicted?

I swear, their songs are SOO good, even thought they have only 4 bcs they are just starting, those sons are so good, 0 skips

For those who misunderstood Cookie To explain it one by one I made a paragraph for your reference. “Made a cookie” referring to the song “Softer than a brownie” here refers to the song attention which has a soft like chorus “Living in ur head rent free” the songs being very addictive and always stuck in our heads. “Made a cookie” a song for the crush “Pick ur poison” here refers to Either replicating the feelings back or having them rent free on their mind ( the crushes mind ) “I’ll melt ur heart away” back to the first line “Made a cookie” they will melt his heart away with the song. “So good yeah” has 2 meanings the songs they made for him and them being able to melt their heart ( with the song ) Reference from first part of the song “it ain’t for free” it’s not free as they want the crush to like him back, “if you want it , u can get it” it’s like they are confessing their crush to the person, but he needs to confess ( replicate the feelings back) for more songs. “Looking at my cookie” looking at the cd that had their song, “the sent alone will make u see it” the curiosity will make him come back them for listening to the song “Taste it” is like a filler reference since u can taste actual cookies ( the ones u eat) They mean that they want their crush to have a taste of their love for them( the crush) . “You can’t stop at one bite” since they baked a song the crush can’t just take one look at it, but the crush needs to also listen to it as well. And lastly, “Cookie” passed the broadcasting stage meaning they can perform this song on all shows so if you see something wrong with these lyrics it’s on YOU.

Fans defending these lyrics are ridiculous

it seems sexual but it really isn;t, it's talking about their album being like a cookie lol
