I guess people in the comments explained it well I just want to add some few things I remembered reading that hwasa herself and korean moos explained. The dark scene at the end. The guy wasn't dead, he was under her dress and I guess it portraits a saying about the guy that runs after a women is under her dress. I personally know a similar saying in french but I guess they have a korean one. Wheein was there because hwasa invited her to ahow in her MV after she was invited in wheein debut MV. Besties being besties you know. But I guess it definitely had an impact in the song. Meaning she has more than one thing she cares about, her best friend is one important thing. While for him, she is his everything, thus he's a fool. Also the scene when she was with pigtails I remember it has to do with another korean saying but I don't really remember it. I love the plot twist in this song the most tbh. Hwasa mentioned that she went through a similar relationship with a guy that loved her so much but she didn't care. Then she regreted it after they broke up, and realized she's the fool one. Also, another thing to note. Wheein debut song "easy" is basically the other way around. She's the one running after a man and saying "I'm nor easy just because I love you so much" but she eneded up killing him at the end (in a very questionable way lol)
XD omg ok I definitely need to react to Easy. That sounds interesting! Thank you so much for clarifying the dark scene with the dress. I don't know of a saying like that. XD I was sort of hoping that's the kind of thing the DKDKTV video would cover but they didn't mention it either 🥲 So thank you so much for explaining!
I always love hearing your take on Mamamoo songs even if mine is different, or actually esp if mine is different, and this one has the added bonus of multiple commenters who disagree with you or thought you were way off target and your disagreement with Danny Kim's interpretation on DKDK-TV so there's lots to think about and discuss. I appreciate the input of anybody who explains the Korean word play and cultural references in kpop songs for i-fans and was grateful for the DKDK-TV video. I haven't seen it in a couple of years so I'll have to watch it again with your reaction in mind. Even tho I usually disagreed with Danny's opinions and often thought he was being a jerk on DKDK-TV I didn't get the feeling he was being misogynistic in his Twit interpretation and I usually have an allergic reaction to that kind of arrogance and ignorance. Some of the main things I love about Hwasa's songs are that they're so personal, reflective and revealing. And they often have a twist you didn't expect, as in Twit. The main thing I got out of Twit is that she's looking back on a failed relationship and reflecting on her own behavior. She cleverly constructs the arc of the songstory by using the insight that the things that bug you the most about other people are often a mirror image of things you hate about yourself but don't want to acknowledge. So kinda like Mamamoo with their re-definition of Hip she's asking who's the real Twit - the guy who sacrifices himself by selflessly adoring her and putting her on a pedestal or the gal who selfishly takes his love for granted and strings him along while believing she's superior because she thinks she doesn't need him as much as he needs her, in other words putting herself on a different pedestal that's just as delusional and fucked up as the glorified one he placed her on. I think the epilogue of the MV was the beginning of the process that led to the song - he leaves her because he realizes what a twit he's been for idolizing her to an irrational degree and she realizes what a twit she's been for pushing away his love. I think we agree that their relationship is seriously messed up. As often happens with Mamamoo Hwasa has given us an addictive, catchy and danceable song with something to say that's worth pondering and taking personally. In my case I've been both kinds of twit at different times. 🙄
I think you phrased that really well to explain what's going on in Twit! Thank you! It might have been too extreme of me to say DKDKTV's video was misogynistic, but you definitely phrased the plot better than they did. I usually really love all their insight, so I was pretty disappointed when I watched that one... but Twit is amazing either way! :D
@@kayepopreactions43 Thanks for reading and replying to my long comment. Don't be so quick to soften your impression of misogyny. I trust your instinct about that more than mine or Danny Kim's since, after all, we're guys. Danny has the added disadvantage of living in a country where it seems like most men think of aegyo as cute and feminism as a dirty word so he might be blind to ways that his thinking is misogynistic. But that's a big can of worms subject and my opinions about it are underinformed at best so I'll stop there.
It seems you see it differently then most. Definitely not a she says/ he says song. Yes his love for her is very smothering. He loves her and makes her his world. Hwasa on the other hand does nothing for him( her own words she says she is the bitch, she makes him patient, puppy, and hungry )and seems to know no matter how she treats him he will be there. When he decides to leave her she tries to stop him and fails. That's my own interpretation of the song. I never once broke it down to protagonist/ antagonist. Never been to DKDKTV, but I can see how he would be the protagonist. His only fault was loving her too much while she never gave anything to the relationship, maybe using him cuz she knows he would always be there.
Here's what Hwasa says about it Hwasa replied with a laugh, “That’s true. But [the song] is telling a person who foolishly loves me far too much, ‘You’re a fool.’ So in a way, in this song, I think that the word ‘fool’ has a positive meaning.” She went on to elaborate, “This person [in the song] is someone who purely and innocently gives me his love, like a fool. But because I have too many things that I want to achieve and too much ambition, this man that I’m calling a fool ends up coming second [to my other priorities].” “So I think it’s partly about telling that person, ‘You’re a fool,’ in order to justify my own behavior,” she explained.
For the first time, I don't agree with your interpretation. In fact I find it rather disappointing. Instead of being objective, you seem to have a fixation, funneling the narrative to all things sapphic. Normally I wouldn't care, but in this case I think you are way off center of songs meaning.

That's interesting! Thank you for including this!
It’s so goooood💜💜💜
😂 the wheein surprise 😂
😁
Actually DKDKTV got it right.
