OLD KPOP FAN Reacts to NewJeans (뉴진스) 'Ditto' Official MV (side A) 

Reaction to Side b here and kinda Explain the Story lol - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aAFe9JvvRIY.html

I think the message of the MV is music saves lives. Music helps people go through tough and confusing times like adolescence, depression and sickness. Some people don’t get that idols and music we idolize serves as a guiding light and a friend sometimes. When Heesoo was recording NewJeans, it’s like following your idols music, it makes you feel that you are part of something big. Adult Heesoo rewatching her NewJeans VHR tapes is like she is going through her past idol’s discography; she looks back to the time music helped her go through hardships in life. Heesoo represents us, watching NewJeans from a far, but we are as much part of NewJeans and their journey.

It's about the parasocial relationship fans share with their favorite groups, to the world it's nothing but for them it's everything, from giving hope,strength, courage(since it's made for the fans as told by MHJ) . As it shows in the end she goes out with the boy and remember nj as a fond memory, like in the mv what the girl needed at that point was an escape and nj became one. But when she plays the vcr again after a long time, the girls come back. In a way nj will be there whenever you need them. It's beautiful, sad and again beautiful. I like how raw the mv is both aesthetic wise and message wise any fandom can relate to this.

6:04 i love how dre can still make me bust out laughing after all these years 😭😭

i feel like someone who is veteran kpop fan like me (following kpop since in middle school and now im 26 yo lol) would instantly think this song with its MVs more toward nostalgia feeling of long lost fans. because that what happens when you just suddenly stumbled upon the old songs of your fav kpop band. all memories about that time (like school, friends, fangirl/fanboying etc) comes rushing in and i feel "ooh.. i wish i can go back once again" once you listen to the old songs. This whole concept is quite like REPLY kseries. If anyone havent watched it, i recommended it. In the series the premise is the lead girl reminiscing about her old memories during school time, remembering her first crush, her first idol, her story with her friends etc and all is connected through some specific things that happened at that time. So, she would be like "in 1995, summer, the olympic happens, this boyband made their debut and i was in school with bla bla and so on so on .." (disclaimer: not accurate example, i just made it up). So in this case, heeseo is an adult now and used to be an active bunnies (hence the bunny doll on the box). She started to look back at her memories during school time through watching her video 'with' NJ. I feel like they take this archetype to the extreme. so, when i was fangirling at school i usually did it with my friends and it would be very chaotic lol. but in this mv maybe she has a problem with making friends to the point she made believe that NJ is her real friends. I mean in middle and high school we kinda joking about it right with our fellow kpop fan friends like " she is my best friend, he is my husband, my boyfriedn dont take him! " right? lol. but in her case she is far beyond that, she made NJ like her way to cope to the extreme way i guess?. But then she realized it and woke up , especially after she feels that there is someone who genuinely curious and worries and want to make friends with her and also become her first crush (the lead boy). so, imho the theory of accident and stuff is too far and too much lol. sorry. especially after the agency said on article that this song is for bunnies , so. but anyone is entitled to their opinion, so that is okay. At the end, maybe thru this song and mv NJ hopes that they can accompany us through our journey and made good memories with us so in the future you have so many old good fun memories you could look back too. just like myself with shinee :)

The mv is inspired by the movie ditto from 2000, it’s about two students in the same school, one in 1979, the other in 2000, they somehow are able to talk to each other using an old radio, and in here the media they used is a camera.

This is me honestly back when kpop wasnt that global. kpop music and the idols were the only thing comforting me. and I was bullied for liking kpop back then.

All old kpop fan can relate too much with the storyline. Our feeling is genuine but lonely at the same time. Around 2008 kpop isn't as mainstream as nowadays. You think now kpop fan has bad stigma in social norm? It's worst in the past. But remember that memory, still bring any warmth and happiness.

The instrumental in the background when they dance in white in the gym is the sound of their new song "OMG". More proof that everything is connected

i love this song sm! the video doe…gonna sleep w a light on tn

I had seen side B first and I felt very confused about the mystery 6th person because it didn’t really show her recording the girls, just her staring at them from afar lol

my theory: new jeans and heesoo were a group of best friends. one day they got into a car accident and heesoo was the only one that survived, hence the cast. because of her depression and how much she misses her dead friends, she hallucinates about them and acts as if they were still alive. in side A, her putting down her umbrellla and following new jeans into the rain represents her letting her delusions consume her. in side B, instead of following new jeans into the rain, she walks away alone with her umbrella which represents her finally letting go of the past and accepting that her friends are gone. in the end, she (now an adult) is shown rewatching her cds and reminincing the good times when new jeans were still alive. also, the deer is a symbol of new jeans in the afterlife telling heesoo to let go of the past

I saw somewhere that the girls were alive and they were all friends and the 5 died and she survived which is why she has a cast. She can’t let them go and still sees them while no one else can. In side b you see that after realizing that, she begins to let them go and move on with her life. Ignroning their alleged calls and being with the guy at the end.

"He caught you lacking" lmfaooo

YESSS my girls NewJeans 🔥❤️‍🔥

This like early 2000s garage and rnb vibe is giving me Craig David, some Jamelia, and Sugababes One Touch album.

I think the two most likely theories are the parasocial relationship and the movie from 2000 of the same name. It's possible that both are correct interpretations since they could've added their own meaning from an inspiration.

New Jean's CEO and creative director is a force on GD's level.

Cmon JRE you're not old, just middle age

Love you jre 🫶🏼

Lmao @ Raffy’s “OOP LEMME LEAVE”

Naurrrr why would you refer yourself as old?? Youre the OG !!

you should watch the other version of the mv

lmao @ raffy almost spoiling the video for himself skdkjflfkjdsdf

Do you know that you guys super cute? yea its TRUE

their music reminds me of the music f(x)'s made - 'upbeat but also soft', made me love newjeans more fnejwfnkelfm

1:08 The stair railing colour should be GREEN Isn't it? How comes RED?? creepy I already checked official MV.

isnt the girl with the cast and the boy from all of us are dead?

Damn jre ur old 🤣🤣

Hey, Wooo....👻👻👻👻👻

Not a fan of the song but their music videos are really good.

Probably not nvm

NEW MEMBEr?

M/V Interpretation: The 6th girl means a fan of Bernie's New Jeans The existence of an idol is an illusion that doesn't exist in everyday life Someone who likes idols may take a picture of them and leave them as a record, and it may seem like Odd to be with them as close friends If you take it out after some time, it means that the memories are still there

you re grandfa of kpop fan lol (sorry)

광고개심하네…

who dat hot guy in the music video anyone know?

In Korea, there is an interpretation that understands the relationship between fans and Newjeans. Heesoo(fan) captures their favorite idol(Newjeans) in a video. However, it can be forgotten due to teasing from friends or being in a relationship(the boy). But when you turn on the video again, the happy memories remain. It's like a message from Newjeans asking us not to forget because we'll probably be there no matter what time it is.

The story 📹 Heesoo=New Jean's fans🐰(bunnies) you can even see a bunny doll in the box other class mates and the Boy =our friends and relationships in our daily lives. Basically side A:New Jeans and us having a good time, and maybe at some point we got further away/lost intrest Side B:what New Jeans is trying to tell us that we all had a good time in the past and that you can come back anytime and re experience those good times. And it wasn't meaningless or that we were immature.

I honestly got goosebumps at the end of version A. I didn’t expect the plot. Amazing 🤩

Thank you for paying attention to the video. A lot of reaction videos I've seen have been cringey because they aren't paying attention. Big love and keep it classy.

It’s the “OLD KPOP FAN “for me Lol ‘damn I’ve been watching his reaction since 2014 just now I realised how Long I’ve been kpop fan woooh

Your reaction was sooo funny, one was when the deer look at you

The MV is so bad that I had tears rolling after watching it...the song is an ass that I had it on repeat since yesterday

Hee-soo means Bunnies, the fandom of New Jeans, and most fans can only get in touch with the singer through media (ex. the camcorder that Hee-soo keeps carrying in the music video), as shown in the video. Fans and singers are always difficult to be together in reality, but singers are always there, and sometimes people look at the fans who follow the singers in a strange way. I think it's like that. Haha Fans and singers who have always been together like that, as time goes by, the fans start to focus on other things in reality, and the distance in their hearts (I think this is expressed as a deer in the middle) is bound to get farther away, and later on, the fans This situation of leaving will come eventually, but looking back over time, it seems to mean that the idols we always were with were our favorite idols back then, and those idols were always in place.

Their Vocals are sooo good And heavenly

This song made me feel eerie, I had 3 sleep paralysis in a single night man istg. But the song slaps

I don't think there is a video that I've watched of JREKML and I didn't laugh.

Why the beat kinda sound like a jersey club beat

the fight club comment had me cracking up NOOOO

Again we need that other video cuz there’s whole reaction channels who made it their lively hood and are thriving

the key of the MV mystery is .. what happened to the girl left hand ??

I love this song

yup imaginary friends it is

Dude same😂 I literally had to make my Twitter account to talk about BTS

좀더 공부하시고 방송해야 될듯?

miro and daero rhyme with ditto.

Bigbang newstrat? Newjeans or color star

I'm so early

Heesoo's full name is 'Ban Hee-soo'. The name 'Ban Hee-soo' was made similar to their fan club name 'Bunnies' with a similar pronunciation of Korean style name

I saw another person’s reaction to ditto and someone commented their own theory that i believe makes the most sense so ill try to explain it here 😅 this is from Susy Franco i think on LKTV’s reaction btw and Susy Franco if you see this, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR THEORY !! 🥰🥰 EDIT: OKAY I ENDED UP COPYING AND PASTING CUZ I SUCK AT SUMMARIES BUT HERE IT IS 😭😭 “I have a theory, the camera girl went in a deep depression till the point she’s still in denial and kept lying to herself, which led to her to completely lose her sense of reality cuz she lost her friends (New Jeans) in an accident, that’s why she has the arm cast. Everybody is kinda concerned about her, but they don’t want to take proper action cuz, as I know, Koreans don’t like to interfere in other people’s problems and the only person who really wants to reach out to her is the guy, that maybe has liked her even before the accident so that’s why he keeps looking for her in a way from afar. And the new video tapes she first saw in the Side A MV kept showing her the reality she’s in, so that’s why she threw the camera in the Side B MV where everything started to make sense. AND the last video she saw was the original one where her friends (New Jeans) DID appear and is stored in a box cuz it’s a part of her treasured memories and now she can see it with nostalgia cuz she came to accept her loss and is capable to move on, that’s why she is seen walking with the guy at the end as he maybe helped her getting through all of the grief and denial. The deer can represent two things a non-confrontational personality (side A) that happens to be her looking at herself in the white scenario or could be an observational, empathetic, and sympathetic side of someone who could represent the guy (Side B) that's why it appeared in the school where he is always watching her with concern. IT'S JUST A THEORY, I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE FEELINGS THESE VIDEOS MADE ME FEEL 😭”

i don't anyone had me like this since k.will. Lmao

First??

ur a little ignorant but that’s okay glad u like the song ❤️
