NewJeans "OMG" Music Video Reaction 

2023 is definitely a NewJeans year in itself, I can practically smell it.

In Korean, 'phone' and 'dol' is one Korean alphabet. So they used i'phone' as a metaphor of i'dol' . If you replace the word 'iphone' to 'idol' and read again Hanni's saying in the beginning, it gives some msg.

NewJeans have quickly become one of my favorite groups. I also felt a 90s vibe with. Their music and their overall look is something we’re not used to seeing in kpop right now and that’s what I like the most about this group.

"I feel like a proud fan right now" SAMEEE I almost want to praise the Lord for how seen I feel right now. Thank you for the reaction!

Sharing thoughts about their MV. This is my take on it- the music video was just a camp way of expressing the idol's side of the parasocial relationship between an artist and a fan. Hanni's monologue in the beginning really brings that to light: "when you call me, i will run to you anytime anywhere. i exist for you" it brings the concern of artists having to exist only for the fans- they're trying to say they're real people too. she's an "iphone", basically a metaphor for being a person who has to run and be 'on' when the button (app) is pushed. Danielle is very smily/bubbly type of person. fans always comment on her happy attitude and when she's watching the tv static and laughing at it, i think it shows that she's stuck in the label that people cast on her. so she's just laughing at nothing in that scene. Hyein has princess syndrome, because while always trying to dress up and be her prettiest self for the fans, she forgets reality and confuses herself with fairytales. (snow white, sleeping beauty, and the revenant references). Haerin ever since debut, fans and nonfans have said Haerin looks like a cat so much that she actually starts to believe she's a cat. Minji is the unofficial leader of the group (there are no positions in Newjeans, but a lot of people and myself included think she has leadership qualities) and she's the oldest. so she's been known to take care of her members very well. hence her thinking she is a doctor who's under pressure to take care of her members.

I've been dying for y'all to listen to this since this song dropped. Did not disappoint 👏🏾

Omg is my new favourite new jeans song for me it’s 1. OMG 2. Hype Boy 3. Ditto 4. Attention 5. Hurt 6. Cookie

The doctor is actor Kim Joo-Hun who has been in a few big K-dramas - Big Mouth, Its Okay To Not Be Okay and a cameo in AE Woo . And the guy at the end who picks up the cartoon drawings on the pad is famous cartoonist/webtoonist Lee Mal Nyeon (aka Calm Down Man on YT). New Jeans were on his YT/Twitch stream for a live 90minute chat/dance/discussion with him and actor Joo Woo-jae straight after OMG was released. It has subtitles!

sonically, issa vibe! but it is also plausible to suggest that this masterpiece right here displays how things can really be *internalized* & how most people are *desensitized* to it. i’d like to quote two of the comments i’ve read & also add my own commentary to it: • ““i’ll run whenever you call me~ i exist for you,” hanni’s line may be expressing siri, but it’s a very important line to express idols. she is expressed as a *patient* who sings for us, _tries_ for us, and then _eventually_ *loses* herself & thinks that she is an iphone (siri) who has to do _anything_ she’s being told to. an "iphone", basically a metaphor for being a person who has to run & be ‘on’ when the button (app) is pushed. • danielle, who is known to fans for always sticking with her bubbly personality, is laughing [even] while [just] watching tv with _nothing_ on it (she’s so used to her _professionalism_ that it’s almost as if she is still performing & the public eye is there to watch her expressions closely even when no one is there to criticize her. an extremely uncomfortable and unrealistic dilemma to be put in, right?) • hyein has a princess syndrome, because while always trying to dress up & be her prettiest self for the fans, she forgets reality and confuses herself with fairytales. (snow white, sleeping beauty, and the revenant references) - this also reminds me of (g)-idle’s ‘nxde’ especially the line “put on my beautiful self” as idols when what actually want is to bare their souls, show their authentic self more even when they get hated for it) • haerin - ever since debut, both fans and non-fans have said haerin looks like a cat _so much_ that she actually starts to believe she’s a cat • minji is the unofficial leader of the group (there are no positions in nwjns, but a lot of people, and myself included, think she has leadership qualities) and she’s the oldest. so she’s been known to take care of her members very well. hence, her thinking she is a doctor who’s under pressure to take care of her members.” we can also see that in 2:17, she finally decided to check up on her own self too. she needs someone to attend to her needs as well since she is also still young. when people are constantly telling idols what they should do & how to behave/having such audacity to dictate their lives, it will eventually get _into_ them. there is a chance that they may actually, subconsciously, start _believing them._ (this also reminds me of _the rise of bangtan ep 4_ or also known as the times where namjoon expressed his crisis of how he wrestled with his own thoughts that deals with the society’s opinion about him & idols in general, and how he also came up with the resolution of why would he even tried so hard to categorize & box his identity if he is an idol or an artist, when he can just be _himself_ without confinements). because by projecting things towards these artists & feel the need to tweak almost everything about them can be equal to insisting that they should replace their real selves in order to please us just because we are the source of their income and we are the ones making them relevant; which *ironically* made us become deeply into them and stan them in the first place because there are parts of them that are authentic... that are ‘very human’ which are relatable. and when hanni said, *_“now i am ashamed that i was worried. it doesn’t matter who i am anymore. i exist for you.”_* it’s just heartbreaking. because there are k-pop idols who feel sorry and people even guilt trip them when they are expressing their honest feelings. it’s sad that when they finally choose to share their genuine concerns, the public tends to deem them as ungrateful for all the platform, fame/success, support, and all those other things they have - _as if all these things would immune them from feeling empty or restless_ from doing what they used to be passionate about for a long time. when they are being invalidated, eventually, they may perceive that voicing out their thoughts and emotions are pointless since they are always available for fans, but they rarely get to have someone who will listen to them & hold space for them. (it honestly kinda reminds me of the same dilemma in singularity by taehyung. the lyrics *_“i don’t have a voice,”_* *_“i dumped myself into the lake, i buried my voice for you”_* & *_“have i lost myself or have i gained you”_* this is important because as a singer, his voice is what defines him. a symbol of his identity, if you will. it could be interpreted as them sacrificing their real voice and identity in order to please us. or the later half of bts festa 2022 where they’ve expressed their dilemmas when they are experiencing burn out. taehyung even said, “i’ve wanted to show the things that are inside me for a long time now. *_at some point, having these thoughts started to feel wrong. i became cautious in even mentioning the things i’ve wanted to try._* and it was hard to even say that i’m going to try it.” or when hobi said, _“so i hope you don’t see this as a negative thing.”,_ “i hope you’ll understand.”)_ stans (and even the industry itself) have the tendency to feel entitled & therefore, demand such unnecessary things from them. things which *don’t* really lessen their musicality/artistry, other skills, and *worth.* they are being subjected to be stripped off their basic rights just for the entertainment & the audience’s attachment to them which we already know are harmful _(e.g., fans are very much enticed to fall in love with them but idols themselves are not allowed to fall in love or being frowned upon & lose support if ever they are involved in dating scandals or they themselves openly admit that someone else’s already own their heart & thus, they’re not available anymore which will crash the fantasies of delusional individuals out there and companies who profit from them being marketed as fans’ potential romantic partners/close friends/family i.e. parasocial relationships)._ but sometimes, things still need to be put into perspective. this visual presentation & social commentary is truly top tier that we all should learn from & be _more_ mindful of. otherwise, we would all collectively loose our minds without even knowing it. and just go back from “it is what it is” since such unhealthy perception & treatment has always been the norms - especially in the industry that people mostly often apply the “they’re just doing their job” notion & forgot that they are also human beings like us. “i think the team at ador & hybe are VERY self aware of media and newjeans’ market. they know what people say about newjeans!! this is their first comeback and only 5 months since their debut & they’re already _challenging_ the industry and doing callbacks to their debut! a MASTERPIECE of a music video & the song is 10/10! i love the breaking of the 4th wall, i love how they called out their haters at the end of the video, i love hanni dressed as steve jobs. i mean, this video has it all: humor, weird/quirkyness, references, callbacks, serious topic(s), lore, introspection, thought-provoking...” the only one i’ve experienced who goes with _this kind_ of depth, substance, socio-psychological commentaries and other related issues & therefore has that replay value _ever since_ day 1/debut, is bts. so experiencing the craft of newjeans: the concepts & rich message they’re going for so far is both nostalgic and refreshing in today’s era saturated of only aesthetically-focused content without that much of a substance. and the fact that they are doing both is chef’s kiss. sorry if this is long-winded. i just can’t express enough how this is just so promising at all levels. p.s. all the references i’ve mentioned that i personally find relatable to one another are just based on my background as a psych major, my prior exposure to k-pop culture, those similar patterns i’ve observed in how the industry works, and even just from individuals i’ve encountered/get to experience daily (how they turn their thoughts & emotions into art) thanks for checking out new jeans!

I'm an android user but i'm a big fan of the new iPham

Hanni thinks she's an iphone Danielle is trying to convince everyone that they are newjeans ( but not even the members believe her, that's where the choreo comes from Haerin thinks she's a cat Hyein thinks she's a disney princess Minji thinks she's a doctor but she's also the patient Hope this helped😊😊

newjeans top 4th gen group

The mv is fun. Love the song. You know, out of all the reactions I've seen, you're the first to be close to negative about them mentioning an iphone. Not saying you are, but first to say something like that from what I've seen. Anyways, you can sense that NewJeans are here to stay for a very long time.

This is easily their best song but all of their songs are great. ❤

its the highhats that make it relatable for rap audiences

the guy on the right almost guessed it’s all connected to ditto and this is their point of view of the parasocial relationship with fans so yes they are going through an identity crisis because of all they be put through. every girl has something like hanni think she’s an iphone because it goes into that idol exist for us and stuff like that. also you missed a clip at the end that was important

its like 'idol pop star life' is false and purely imaginitive...and they exist for us like an iphone we expect them to be always there for them....but its not reality....kpop has been stale and repetitive for a while...new jeans a breath of fresh air. the rest of kpop feels like old jeans. also android users dont hate hate iphone...they just like samsung....

Not seeing the big deal, actually. HYBE is the Michael Bay of Kpop. Take really mediocre songs and throw a shit-ton of money at them.
