I love how you see the song at the surface level where the lyrics exude women empowerment. But then you see it past that as well and see the message as those trying to hold them back and ultimately XG standing their ground and pushing towards their dreams the way they want! XG always brings multiple positive meanings to their music, MV’s, and concepts they truly are Xtraordinary! Always enjoy watching your reactions, and thank you for supporting our Xtraordinary Girls! 🐺♾️
It also reminds me of the proverb "the nail that sticks out get hammered down." XG trying to do their thing but they're standing out apart from everyone else. Some people don't like that & try to restrain them.
It''s probably best depicted by this scene 1:44 The entity is holding Juria when she's trying to fly and seemed to holding Hinata back so she wouldn't follow Juria. I might be wrong though. The sad thing is that they said "imagine a world," as in, a world like that might not exist (or at least in music business if that's what they are referring to). But as a man, I'm really proud of their attitude. Don't take shit from nobody.
@@nitrokid1 reactor didn't like the message, and he called them names, saying it was wrong message, 😢
I've seen a lot of people trying to figure out what the message for this MV was and the controversies that have come from certain interpretations. After listening to Simon's IG posts, explanations, and XGALX docu-series this is what I was able to figure out: the girls are singing about how the industry treats girl groups, particularly overseas. If you pay attention to the lyrics you can catch some of the more heavy implications on how many companies view their artists:
"It's time I get what I deserve. Act like you don't know what I'm worth. We spend a lot of time talking, but it feels like I'm never heard."
Obviously, the artists aren't being taken seriously, no matter how hard they work, how much attention they garner, or money they're earning the company. They still are being mistreated and disregarded, used as products/brands. A great example of that is when Harvey's part comes up early on.
"Listen to what comes out my mouth, before you try to take me out."
Now you can take that at face value or look deeper into what she's saying. Paired with the fact that she's speaking out, Harvey points to her mouth while singing. Upon closer examination, her teeth appear to be dark and bloody as if someone hit her in retaliation. The MV transitions as Harvey then points to Jurin. The first thing that everyone notices with her are her sharp shark teeth and quick elbow jabs into the air (as if she's fighting, you see the group punching and using the same elbow move again later on). The differences in Harvey and Jurin's appearances leave lasting impressions despite how beautiful they are. They're still being puppeteered by outside forces as the girls fight to be treated fairly.
" We'll make them do what WE enjoy"
"They'll do anything, anything, when you got them hanging by a string"
"We play them like they're plastic dolls"
Unsurprisingly, many industry contracts are unfair. It isn't uncommon to have the artist do things that they personally do not agree with or want to do - they become the product to be dressed up and showcased how the company sees fit. Take for instance how Juria is trying to run, eventually jumping up towards the balloon (her ambitions) to float away. Before she can escape, she's grabbed by the ankle as one of the white giants holds her back. The same giant holds onto Hinata, keeping the 3 of them grounded as Hinata helplessly looks up to Juria. Likewise you see Chisa, Jurin, Hinata, and Maya look for escape routes. Many of the "artists" also try to escape, but they blow up in the white beams of lights. It isn't until the artist, the one in blue and white, takes a deep look at Hinata and disappears that things change.
The one in white and blue that explodes, that is symbolic of their producer Simon. Simon was also in the music industry before XGALX. He was actually a member of the boy group DMTN. He faced many of the same hardships as XG and saw the ins and outs of how the industry worked with their artists, how poorly many of them were treated, and the sort of environments that they were made to grow in. He wanted to break away from it all, find his own company, and do things in a manner where young artists could grow in a healthier environment. This is how XG was founded. When the explosion bursts into blue smoke, the ground shakes and all the people except XG fall. This is because XG is elite, being nourished and trained by producers and a company that genuinely cares for them and their opinions. No one else can hold a candle to them as they make waves across the board.
@@kit_the_kat741 YES THIS!!! Thank you so much for taking your time to post this! I usually go into depth when I explain what XG is about but this was so perfectly explained through your comment. Everything from their music, interviews, and especially their documentary shows them breaking free from the societal norms of the industries. Even in Simon’s interview from GRAMMY where Simon tackles so many different topics. You could tell what he was saying was entirely different from what all the others that were interviewed had to say. There is so much thought and detail put into this MV. Most likely everyone who theorizes online won’t catch everything they’re trying to say. But we know that XG is always exceeding expectations, telling more than just one story.
the fact it was a missed opportunity for this to be on the barbie soundtrack 🥴
FR!!
But not a missed opportunity for XGene to be in the next X-men movie!! 😂
I love when the reactor is smart, make the music analysis valuable, respect you guys.. 🫶🫶🫶
Oh wow thank you🥹🙏❤️
Thank you for the great break down to Puppet Show! The chemistry you two have is, so infectious! XG Alphaz 🐺
Thank you🥹🫶🫶
That's why XG is the real deal. They are THE DREAM TEAM in every possible way. They can't miss - not one step. They are the best of the best.
This EP is a no skip album. 💯
Thank you for the love and support for XG.
No more energy drinks for Andy. 😂 These girls are so lit. ❤
😂😂
When Juria holding the balloon going up but Hinata is holding her not let her go up,is saving her,and other puppet jump up and explosion,that’s mean the answer not going up is jump down😮
Oooh😮
You guys are awesome always love your interpretation
Aw thank you~~❤
ここのリアクションが1番好きかも、英語歌詞に対して反応してくれるからネイティブから見た歌詞の内容に注目できるのは楽しい
bye, Feliciaとかextraとかの感じ方がネイティブからはそんな感じなんだなと思って楽しかった！
日本から毎回楽しいリアクションを楽しみにしています！
いつも分かりやすい説明とリアクションありがとうございます！！
All of their songs have some "weird" stuff and thats why I love them, because it has super deep interpretations
Love your takes and reaction!!! You need to check the full album!! X-GENE is that song!!!
あなたがたはなんでそんなに面白いんですか？😂最高のふたりです❤
😂🥹🙏❤️
I like how you guys interpreted the song's message and how you guys explained it.... because there are people who took the song pretty negatively thinking the song is belittling males and trying to control / play them etc... they need to watch this video haha....
totally
yeah been seeing alot of dudes getting hurt over here like bro relax. 😆
@@jlow94 yeh it's pretty sad in a way, the song can be a little too deep for them to understand, and it's easier for them to take it negatively if there's certain insecurities in them... when i look at the lyrics more i realized a huge part of it is talking about the idol / kpop industry and how they treat girls / idols in general...
if you look at the chorus lyrics, and imagine those words coming out of like a entertainment company ceo's mouth or something it totally make sense...
"Welcome to the puppet show (that's the kpop indusctry)
Where we (ceo/ high position people) play'em (those girls idol) like their (girls' ) plastic dolls (girls play dolls)
They'll do anything anything anything
When you got'em hanging by a string by a string
Gonna play'em like their toys
We'll make'em do what we (producers/ those in control / fans / audience ) enjoy
They'll do anything
When you got'em by a string"....
this is a pretty dark song actually...
@@mgsneo I agree. A lot of guys are taking this song at face value and not really seeing the whole picture of it. Which unfortunately is a lot of peoples attention span at this point.
Guys just show their insecurities. Ultimately, we're already puppets (like paying taxes for the government). Accepting the truth is part of the "partial" freedom ;D
Energy is top notch here. All your call outs make sense fr haha.
Haha glad we can make some sense 😆🙏❤️
I think your interpretation of the lyrics is very accurate.
Not only girls, everyone believes that they are the main role in their own lives. You can reverse the situation of being controlled by others and create your own life. I think that kind of possibility is contained in the lyrics.
I enjoyed the reaction 🤗. I have to many favorite songs and MVs by them, I can't and won't choose ❤.
Omg seriously!! Love all their songs😍
hahaha love your reactions, i understand better all the concept of the video hahaha
Aw thank you~ glad we can make some sense 😅❤
The MV is also a metaphor of becoming free and not being puppets. At the beginning you see them "living" in the iced world, tired of it after realizing that is not how they want their lives to be, controlled. You see that man running trying not to be like the rest, that is also a reference of misogyny, and then he explodes getting demised. He is a puppet, XG are not so when they jump in the hole, it's the transition to see them becoming the master of puppets, to not be controlled like the rest. That is why both worlds are connected like mirrors, one is upside down, that is the string/thread. The other side of the coin.
Harvey not having teeth is also a reference, of being a puppet, who is unable to talk. Usually you make dolls, puppets say what you, as their master wants.
The balloon part with Juria, is another way interesting part. She gets held back by a puppet, but instantly, that puppet gets stopped by Hinata. Like, oh no you won't, let go (You know, in her cute way of smiling and appearance). We are the masters here.
This is my personal interpretation, although honestly? No one is really in the wrong.
I really had fun with this reaction, you chemistry and charisma, you are both chaotic in the good way, So new sub! I will check out more videos.
I love u guys reaction so fun🙌🏼😹
Thank you😆🥰🙏
idc cocona's lines always iconic girly can make a 1 sec screen time muvh better the power she hooolds!!!
true cocona's line make a grown @ss man cry lmao
I always love your interpretations!!!
わかりやすくて😊楽しいリアクション✨いつもありがとう
Among the reactors who did reacted to XG Puppet Show, only this channel really delivered the true message behind the music of the MV, thanks guys
My favourite react channel and my Love XG❤❤❤🐺🩵🫶🏼
🥹🙏❤️❤️
So that's why they're so cool, decked in ice, and their bars are cold, they came from an ice realm :D
Haha.. this couple is so cute and funny. Love the interpretation thou..
Aw thank you🥰🙏
nice interpretation of the song ❤
XG's Studio Choom performance dropped today and the girls and choreo of course are 🔥🔥🔥 you should definitely check out! From what people have been saying its a huge honor
Woop Woop! I love you're guys reactions! Especially XG!
Oh wow it is upside down! Andy and Jas delivers again. Thank youuu 😊
🥰🙏
❤
love your reactions🙌.
Thank you for bringing this group to my knowledge. Love this song. Going to checkout more of there music.
XG be doing the stanky leg 🐺❤️
I so in love and enjoy your XG reaction!!
You guys always reacts the best with the great interpretation!!!
Aw thank you~ 🥹🙏❤️
"idk what that is but i want that" periodt andy me too
I love your explanation omg i didn't think about that ❤
I think it’s also a message to what girl groups in the industry go through! Always being told what to do, how to act, to not eat too much, etc. and they’re saying, what if the roles are reversed?
Love y’all 😂 always amazing reactions and breakdown
Thank you~~😆🙏 much love back!❤️
Jas was correct, that is a Tamogotchi, Harvey had 1 in New Dance, and all of them had 1 in their concept photos.
I think XG is going to be selling them soon if they haven't already.
Tamogotchi is basically like a Gameboy/digital video game, you can control a digital character or pet and train it or something.
I probably did a terrible job of explaining what it is.
Omgggg no way!! Were so gonna get a XG Tamogotchi if they release one!😍
Love your reaction... It's exciting ❤❤❤
🔥🔥🔥
What I love the most about XG’s songs and MVs are how complex and multilayered the messaging is. They really have something to say and they manage to do it in ways that are also pleasing to listen to and are visually stunning. For me at this point XG isn’t just the girls, it’s Simon and the entire production team. I have so much respect and awe for all of them.
bruhh best duo!! like syncing everytime you interpret a scene. I love your reactions!!
Is this weird this song gives me shooting star and super shy combined, i feel like I’m probably only thinking super shy because of how this song also is a jersey club type song
I see it, especially once I saw Maya’s hat lol
Riiight?! The intro lowkey gives off NJ vibes
i said the song not the outfits or visuals@@ZioComposite also newjeans doesn't own the outfit concepts
Who said they own the concepts? Please don't be a toxic BetaZ. You took my interpretation as an attack when it wasn't. 🤣
Let me explain it further for you. Yes I agree with what you said even before you commented. Once I saw the hat and immediately reminded me of NJ OMG and thought of super shy with shooting star.
@@ZioComposite oh sorry I’ve just been seeing a lot of toxic bunnies and it makes me so mad that they always compare NewJeans to other groups as someone who is both an Alphaz and a Bunny
DEEPEST LORE TIME!
I’m going to give a quick rundown of the story behind the music video for anyone interested:
- The XG girls are lowered individually into Buddhist Hell by the thread of a spider (the scene with Chisa represents this). The figures you see in the very beginning are wearing traditional Buddhist headdresses. They are surrounded by spirits who are caught in a cycle of reincarnation that never ends.
(In Buddhism the “spider’s thread” is a reference to how Buddha took the thread of a spider in Heaven and lowered it down to Hell so that a criminal can climb up from Hell to Paradise. Therefore the thread of a spider is a symbol of slight hope aka a silver lining and of fragility. In the story it’s stated that the thread descended through “many layers of sky and clouds.”)
- The XG girls look on sadly as many spirits attempt to reach Paradise and fail, exploding into nothingness (Maya looking down from her perch represents this.)
- Even though the XG girls are hailed as goddesses by the other spirits (represented by the way the other spirits bow to them) they realize they still can’t reach Paradise alone aka achieve enlightenment.
- This changes when the XG girls find each other in death, realizing that their meeting was fate in order for them to reach Paradise together (they are tied together by the “red string of fate” and “hesonoo” is Japanese for umbilical chord.) This is represented four times in the video and twice in the chorus of the song; When Juria is running to help a spirit and meets Hinata there’s a close up of her eye where we see her having a vision of an explosion, when Harvey (who has black teeth which in Japan is a common practice amongst women because it represents a “woman with virtues”) meets Jurin, when the XG girls rap/dance together as a group with the drums, and when a wayward spirit’s failure to achieve enlightenment causes an explosion which knocks everyone down leaving only XG standing strong. There’s also a ton of fourth wall breaks showing that they’ve broken away from the circle the spirits are stuck walking in. They know the Truth aka achieved enlightenment and know you’re watching basically. Also, it is only in the later two choruses the girls adlib together. The first chorus, when they haven’t met in the video yet, has none.
- Before XG goes, they bless one of the spirits who is heavily implied to be pregnant with the XG girls as seen in the teaser for Hesono-o (the moon is associated with womanhood, XG fans are ALPHAZ aka wolves, the cover art for their album is reminiscent of cell division, etc) who have earned the right to be reincarnated.
- The XG girls take a literal leap of faith together and successfully reach Paradise!
The music video is tied to XG’s themes of female empowerment-women have two “x” chromosomes, the girls are “extraordinary,” they have the “x-factor,” are portrayed in the MV for GVRL GVNG as mutants like the X(Wo)men, they represent a better future for women in a patriarchal society and stand for the next generation of children (children birthed by women who have “new DNA”) hence the futurism stuff. I hope this helps anyone!
なるほどなあ！
Very interesting take. Thanks
Thank you so much for this take. I must say, this kind of deep lore is very reminiscent of BTS' Spring Day - of how deep their message is depicted in the MVs. If they're doing this ish this early in their career, who knows what they have for us in the future ❤🐺🤟🏼
Amaziiiiiiing
¡¡Wow!! gracias por la explicación, ahora me quedo claro todo.❤
U guys so genius 😂❤
So fresh and so talented!! Please perform in the States!!
De tantos grupos femeninos que stanee solo XG me atrapo,ellas son tan talentosas,hermosas su música es 🔥📈👌🏻good
I love you all so much!!!! Your reactions give me soooooooooooooo much life!!!! You all are amazing!!!!!!

I wanna watch your reaction of Hesono-o and x-gene. The transition from Hosono-o to x-gene is sooooo good.

Hace rato no veía una buena reacción de respeto a todo lo que este video nos estaba entregando. Muchas gracias!
I love your content because it’s so funny and entertaining 😂😂❤
Y’all so extra I love it lmaoooo

Looking forward to ur reaction for more xg. They have a new single out 'Winter without you'.
Las uñas de Andy, I love them 😁
Thank you! Jas did them for me 😊
XG's concept is so cool. I love your reactions like always.
I really like the way you guys react. It's funny and entertaining. Ps: I loved Andy's nails.
I think that those things in the beginning that we're covered up. I think that that was them being controlled, and then they got out of it.
Waiting for the reaction of boy next door's songs
The reason why i love your reaction is that you guys analyze and emphasize the essential words and sentences in this song, that could help the viewer to understand the meaning of this song
😂😂😂🫶♾️
You guys are so fun to watch, it's like watching me and my best friend feed off of each other's energy when we both rlly like something!!!
Anyways, thank you for reacting ♡ Totally enjoyed this. ありがとうございます ❤
Im a new fan I love y’all energy can’t get enough of it 💜
I always love watching your reactions I always have a good time

The thing at the end going to go on a stick. Light Stick Baby!
XG are Japanese girls. Number_i are Japanese boys. They were released their debut song today on the first day in 2024. I hope you will find them and react them.
love your energy guys ❤ nice reaction
БОЖЕ КАКОЕ ОНИ ❤❤❤ Я ОБОЖАЮ ВАС РЕБЯТА 😂😂😂😂
After watch the mv I always thought Hinatas hair was like Dara from 2NE1 and Maya looked like an S.E.S member in that last chorus
Okay. Now I need to see Andy in that orange puffer jacket. Is Jas not feeding you? Stand up for yourself Andy!! You’re no Puppet!! Eat more meat 🍖!!!!! Have an Xtraordinary day!!!
Oh no the orange puffer was what Jas wore and thought she looked like XG hahaa. She bought it😆👏👏
Did you see Harvey's teeth and Maya's eyes?
XG are in another level ❤❤❤ Please react to Rainy days cover by Danielle of Newjeans Love Lee by Haerin and Slow dancing cover by Hyein
XG straight calling us men out. We be some puppets sometimes tho..
I WAS WAITING FOR YOU GUYS 😆🎉🎉💕💕
Thank you for waiting~🥰🙏
@@itsandyandjas 😊🥰🥰🥰🥰💕💕💕💕💕
i'm guessing that the person who exploded was the person who cut the strings that allow XG to control them, and for this reason in the beginning, Hinata was suspicious of one of them and watched them for several seconds, as if they were saying that whoever does not do as we say shall d word.
Shark week 😂😂😂
Love your reaction.. Plis check Xgene song🔥
Ayo Andy and Jas theres a new American K-pop group called VCHA and they just made there pre debut and it’s a bop 😊. Y’all should check it out if y’all want ❤️
I always love how the two of you are not just reacting to the music video but ya'll are also understanding the lyrics past its literal sense. 🥹🫶🏻
Shark week im dead af
🤣🦈🦈
Please react to txt invitation performance good boy gone bad performance and Farwell neverland live and more dance videos and studio choom videos 🙏🏻🩷
Not going to watch the whole reaction. If you want a breakdown this is it. This message is questionable though. Really Andy and Jas the details really listen. Idk what XG is doing with this one. Disrespectful. Video, visuals, vocals are all great but the message ugh. It's not good. at all. No thank you.
There are songs that talk about women as man eaters, getting f*cked 7 days a week…
Somebody is too sensitive.
if you are talking about the lyrics seemed like belittling men, trying to play / control them or something then you don't really get the message. first of all this lyrics is written by 4 males and 1 female, it's very not likely they would disrespect guys. second it's targeted more towards to those who played and controlled girls in a relationship or something, just like andy and jas said, they are reversing this, stand their ground and take back control. 3rd it's also talking about the idol industry especially in korea that the girls usually were like puppet being controlled and no one listen to them etc... hence welcome to the "puppet show" that's the kpop industry...which was pretty much what the chorus described, it make sense when you see those words as if they were coming out from those entertainment industry ceo's mouths or something.... but XG / XGALX are trying to address that, break that and empowering girls to take the control back
if you look at the chorus lyrics, and imagine those words coming out of like a entertainment company ceo's mouth or something it totally make sense...
"Welcome to the puppet show (that's the kpop indusctry)
Where we (ceo/ high position people) play'em (those girls idol) like their (girls) plastic dolls (girls play dolls)
They'll do anything anything anything
When you got'em hanging by a string by a string
Gonna play'em like their toys
We'll make'em do what we (producers/ those in control / fans / audience ) enjoy
They'll do anything
When you got'em by a string"....
this is a pretty dark song actually
The lyrics and meaning is lost by your interpretation and the written lyrics never said him like the RUclipsr you followed said. They said ‘em as them. Please listen to more mature music that is more mindful and complicated with meanings rather than face value if you knew XG music and Simon. Their intentions are never what you assume. The music had more meaning what you can fathom within your bias already without reading the lyrics and understanding them. It is a shame that so many people just make rash judgements without knowing the context and seeking true facts on both sides
Please React to itzy's new Japanese Comeback you'll like it absolutely fire
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
