The special things about (G)i-dle are not limited to their great talent or massive success(they were called super rookies back in 2018 w awards right from their debut w Latata) but it is also that they are a self composed group meaning that their leader Soyeon composes and writes the vast majority of their song and ALL of their title tracks meanwhile she is also acknowledged as one of the most talented female rappers in the kpop industry. Also half of the members are foreigners 1 from China(Yuqi), 1 from Thailand(Minnie) and 1 from Taiwan(Shuhua). You should def check out more of their songs! I would recommend their Queendom performances tho:)
18:34 she is Shuhua, the youngest member (maknae) and she is from Taiwan 🇹🇼 and she is the same 18:45 There are two other foreign members! Yuqi from china 🇨🇳 (curly haired one in the two first songs and short bob in the third) she is my bias :) Minnie from thailand 🇹🇭 (the one with soft voice in the "weird" part of latata)
They're absolutely incredible, such a unique group. Their leader and main rapper, Soyeon, produces, composes and writes almost all of their stuff, she's such a genius. Please react to Lion, Uh-Oh and Hann (alone) next, Dumdi Dumdi and Senorita are good as well!!
Most underrated group in kpop, this girls are amazing, so talented and different, nobody sounds like them, and Soyeon is just a genius and the best female rapper in kpop...
soyeon the main rapper make most of their songs she is a genius they're songs are always very unique and good, you should definitely check out their other songs and soyeon's solo !! also fun fact: minnie and miyeon are friends with lisa
Fun fact: the girl in 17:02( Miyeon) is supposed to be debut in Blackpink but got kick in yg entertainment before debuting. They have a pictures you can check it
Nice reaction :) For next time, I would recommend 'Hann (Alone)', 'Uh Oh' and 'Lion' for three new songs that are quite different from each other as well.
the main rapper (soyeon) is also the main producer/composer/song writer of the group. she is hella talented! you should listen to other songs produced by her : lion, hann (alone)
Why no one is asking for …? She is one of the top soloist in K-pop Industry !!! I think she deserves your reaction😮😮 Check her song / Snapping /Roller Coaster/Bicycle/Play/Love u… I’ve been requesting her so much in the comment…. Plz😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Check out G idle member - Yuqui solo works -“ giant. Or bonnie and clyde “ Its all in english G idle “Yuqi “ is the one with the bangs with a deep voice on the last video. The one you like the hair style
Right. Essay incoming. :P Starting from the name, it is pronounced like the English word "idle", with "G" being silent. It can also be pronounced as "gee idle". The meaning is rather complex: in original, they are (여자)아이들 (yeoja) aideul ("(female) children"); 아이 ai means child, 들 deul is plural. They always introduced themselves just as 아이들 "aideul"; it is believed the parenthesis part was added so that you can Google them without getting a bunch of kids. It is also very obviously reminiscent of the word 아이돌 aidol (idol). For their English name, they changed the "female" part into "(G)" to stand for "girl", and changed 아이 ai into the English letter "I", with the added meaning: me, an individual. With that, they are a group of individuals that come together to make great things. How individual? Very. Among other amazing things their leader Soyeon (the rapper) has done was to forbid her members from taking vocal lessons, because she believed they would "correct" the individuality out of their voices. So each of them sounds completely different. Soyeon, who conceives, writes, composes and co-produces almost all of their music, uses this to guide her songwriting: unlike most groups who receive a ready-made song and then assign parts to members they think would do best at them, Soyeon writes the song FOR her members, using them as instruments, placing their unique voices into the song where they will be used to the best effect, even going as far as to select the words that she knows members will be able to pronounce well (since half of the group is non-Korean). As their name says, they hope to be children forever, not afraid to have fun and explore, and their fan name Neverland also alludes to it (the land of Peter Pan, where he hoped to never grow up). You can also see the fans refered to as Nevie(s) in English, or Neverver 네버버 in Korean. The best intro to the group is The Rise of (G)I-DLE by lovinsoojin (probably the best (G)I-DLE fan channel), though it is an hour and a half long. Another good one is An unhelpful guide to (G)I-dle - Updated 2021 by Adriana Sandoval, and there are many others. In short, Soyeon raps, sings, leads, writes, composes, skates to work and is totally a kid, except when she's scary. :) She is widely regarded as the best female rapper of her generation, and a genius. Miyeon is technically the oldest, but also totally a kid; she was one of five trainees in YG that were supposed to debut together; after many years of delays, she left and joined CUBE (whereas Jennie, who entered YG at about the same time, didn't, and the rest is history). Minnie has a dreamy voice, is Thai, and speaks three languages fluently (Thai, Korean, English) and has basics of two more (Japanese, Mandarin) - basic, but enough to argue with Yuqi in Chinese (the famous "sofa incident"). Yuqi (when not speaking Chinese, she pronounces it in the Korean way, as "oogy" or "woogie") has a surprisingly deep voice that she is way too cute for, and is a master comedienne; also, she's the one with bangs in Hwaa, a different person from Shuhua, who you proclaimed to be your bias in Latata. Shuhua is the group's visual maknae from Taiwan; she has the most trouble with Korean, so for a while she asked Soyeon not to give her many lines; fortunately she got more confidence speaking; she did get that confidence, and is a savage. Finally, Soojin is no longer in the group. It is a sad story of unproven allegations, but a lot of the public jumped on the hate bandwagon and eventually she stepped down (or was made to) to protect the group. She was the mom of the group, the main dancer, the shyest member off-stage and the embodiment of confident and sexy when dancing. Most of the members also have side-gigs: Soyeon and Miyeon participate in K/DA, a virtual group composed of League of Legends characters, Minnie is also an MC and a radio host, Yuqi was on several reality shows, notably Learn Way (which is hilarious), Minnie collaborated with Wengie, Yuqi has several solo songs... Also, Minnie and Yuqi started writing and composing under Soyeon's tutelage, and I think Miyeon might also do it one day.
Latata was their debut song. Their company, CUBE, is pretty good at failing to support their artists. Among them, it seems they have trouble getting their artists songs. For a long time their debut was getting delayed while CUBE was looking for the right song to debut them with. Soyeon got sick of it and just wrote one (or rather, if I am not mistaken, several), made a powerpoint presentation for the execs and even though she was a rookie her vision was so strong that they okayed it. It's a fun debut song, expressing the joy of dance, and casting a love curse on the viewers. Latata is a nonsense word, that Soyeon picked up watching some show or drama and thought it sounded like a spell. Of course the fire on Soyeon's hat was CGI. Oh My God... As far as I can tell, the MV works on two levels. On one level it is deeply symbolic story of innocence, temptation and fall into depravity. Soojin has been confirmed to be a seductress demon, and the other girls her victims. She is bound by the purple straps, then gets free. Some resist her charm and remain pure, some fight her off but are tarnished in the struggle, some fall for her and fall hard. There's all this Christian imagery, the white of heaven and red of hell, the crosses, the apple, the Latin, the wine/blood, everything in the video works to support this storyline. On another level, it seems to be a social commentary. The name of the album this song is on is I Trust, and Soyeon has said that it is about staying true to oneself, even under adversity. While the girls have never said so directly outside the lyrics, it seems to paint a picture of lesbian love, particularly in a restrictive, conservative society (such as South Korea). The chorus, in English, uses "she", and even in Korean parts (specifically Soyeon's rap verse) the female pronoun is used (which is not really used in natural Korean, except when you want to be absolutely clear on the gender, like in translations). The height of this storyline is in Soyeon's verse, I feel. People sometimes think that she is in a toxic relationship, and that she is trying to get away in order not to get hurt by the other person. I interpret it differently: what she is afraid of is the pressure of the society to conform. Her cry is basically "why could I not have fallen in love with someone I will not be judged over?" She tries to deny her feelings, but in the end accepts that this is who she is, this is what she feels, and she should trust herself over whatever anyone else thinks. Even if she ends up suffering, love is worth it. I also think that the title is just trolling Nevies. Because almost everyone ends up saying "Oh my god!" when they see it. And then they'll laugh self-consciously. Just how transparent are we, to Soyeon? :) This MV (along with Lion, which you have not seen yet) are film-making masterpieces, really: pure art. Hwaa is the last part in a trilogy that started with Hann in 2018, continues with another song ALSO called Hann that is on the same album as Hwaa (I Burn; though this newer Hann sadly does not have an MV), and flows into Hwaa. The thing you need to know about is what "han" is first: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_(cultural) "Han is frequently translated as sorrow, spite, rancor, regret, resentment or grief, among many other attempts to explain a concept that has no English equivalent." But the same pronunciation also has other meanings as well. The 2018 song is originally named 한(一), where the Chinese character in parentheses gives the intended alternate meaning: "one". The song sings about getting over an ex who hurt you: "I erase your trace in my bruised heart", and the MV styling is a desert. This is why the English translation is "Hann (Alone)". The second Hann, on this album, is titled 한(寒); here, the Chinese character says "cold" (with the English translation "Hann (Alone in Winter)". The lyrics there are about feeling as if your heart is frozen, realising that you were lying to yourself about erasing the ex from the memory, knowing that you still think of them every single day, and you wonder if the winter in your heart will ever turn to spring. Here's where Hwaa comes in, with its multiple meanings, again explicitly stated in Chinese characters: 화(火花). Both characters are pronounced "hwa" in Korean. The first means "fire", but is also used metaphorically for "anger" ("I am angry" is literally translated as "fire is coming out"). The second is "flower". The combination of the two characters ("fire flower") means "spark" in Chinese and Japanese (pronounced "huǒhuā" and "hibana", respectively), though I don't think it's a word used in Korean (but if you replace the Chinese characters with native korean words, you get a word for "fireworks", which was Soyeon's hope for this song's impact). The song uses all of these meanings: wanting to spark up the fires of anger to burn up the leftover resentment ("han"), and warm up the heart so flowers of new love can blossom again. Super cool, super deep, in the way how all the wordplay about "han" and "hwa" was used. And it's not the end either: Soyeon and Minnie said that Moon was postponed to be on this album, because it matches the mood, as you look at the sky and... feel. The rest of the songs are also meaningful in their own place in the album. In Miyeon's words, "We tried to express this album as cold winter, hot fire and beautiful but stinging flowers. It also has the meaning of overcoming the scars of separation and being in full bloom again." As others have said, all three of these songs were also translated into English. Soyeon said they paid special attention with the British songwriter Phildel to make sure the English version of Hwaa captures the exact same feelings like the original. One of the very few English translations in Kpop I wholeheartedly recommend. English version of Oh My God is much more explicit than the original, though: where she wouldn't officially explain what kind of love she is talking about in the original lyrics, the English lyrics are much less ambiguous. I don't know much of how English Latata was made. Of the three, I vote the English Hwaa the best one. Still, my number one is Put It Straight (Nightmare version) performance on Queendom. The best stage of anything I have ever seen so far, ever.
Yasss as stray kids fan, gidle is the only girlgroup i like fron 4th gen because they are so creative and unique, and also a self-produced group too (mostly by soyeon). U should check them out more!
Dancing like a Sienna Mae apology video... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀 The one you liked in Latata is Shuhua the Maknae she's my bias too. It's funny bc the first girl you stopped on was Miyeon who was almost in Blackpink! The one you liked in Hwaa is Yuqi
Something about (G)I-DLE is that they have a unique and different colors of their voices and you can def know every voice of them, also the culture diversity of the members, taiwanese, chinese and thai, half foreigners and half koreans. Soyeon, the leader and main rapper produce, arrange, write and compose the 95% of their discography, also minnie and yuqi did some songs of their albums. Also their discography are so various of genres, that most of the media call them the gidle genre, they did 27 different genres: Moombahton, synth pop & dark pop, ballad, electropop, electronic, R&B, Soul trap, hip hop, dance pop, deep house, latin pop, trap, chill trap, dream pop, pop, house, disco & retro style, funk, tropical, soundtrack (OST), EDM and pop rock THEY WILL HAVE A COMEBACK IN MARCH! SUPPORT THEM PLEASE!
G-idle and blackpink are my absolute favorite groups ever! G-idle's songs are just soooo good and their concepts are so unique. Tied with blackpinks THE ALBUM, their mini album called i-BURN is easily one of my favorite kpop albums ever!
Omg I'm so excited I've been waiting for this reaction for so long thank you so much for reacting and liking them, I'm so happy you got to discover them. They're so talented. Love you and thank you 💗💗💗
Your reaction is so meeeeee even tho I’m a fan since “latata”. Their music is really special and I never heard something like them. Vocals, visuals, rap, dance, creativity, charisma, versatility... everything. They just don’t fail to surprise me every fuck!ng time. I just love these girls. Purely. Everything they touch is gold.
I love g Idle instrumentals especially in Lion, Hwaa and Hann. I love the fact that they are so creative and they are not afraid to back with something completely different each time.
Wow this group..unexpected! But i really love G Idle and these songs 🔥 Their content is always unique and their vocals are on point! Also you can really tell who is singing because their voices are so different and i like it ☺️ And i personally don't see the problem in saying they're hot because: 1). They hot 2). They are not minors they all could be actually older than you 3). It's okay to recognise their beauty just make sure you also appreciate their talent and skills ❤️
G IDLE write and produce their own songs. All of their title tracks were written and produced by their leader Soyeon. Other members Minnie and Yuqi write and produce some of their songs too. They are coming with a Full Album on March 14th after over a year of break. Please look forward to it!!! Its gonna be dope for sure
They wrote and composed all 3 of these songs. This group is insanely talented and each member is so unique. Latata was their Debut song. You get to see where they started. Oh My God is probably the most high concept Music video it is so different and filled with so much symbolism and stories. You like dark. Check out "Put it straight" (Nightmare edition) from their QueenDom Performance. its a Dark remix of a B-side from their 1st album. All the performances from Queendom were amazing and you could feel the emotions from them.
18:20 .... 18:23 ... Is this henna ? it's from Arab culture .. in fact , I'm Arab .. and I'm really happy to see that Arab culture is getting what it deserves ✨️💞
For me (G)I-dle Is the best kpop girl group with blackpink ! I think Soyeon has enormous potential in writing music! The girls sing super well! Honestly, I love Minnie's voice! Although Soojin is no longer in the band, I can't wait to see their comeback in March ! Much love ❤️
Thank you so much for the reaction 🤍🤍🤍🔥was desperately waiting for this, 😭N like Jisoo we also share the same bias now🔥🔥🤍Shuhua🤍🤍🤍... She's the visual of Gidle
(G)i-dle is so good !!! They are one of the best girlgroup ever and they are self produced they are really unique also they are finally having a comeback in March after more than a year !
G-idle is also one of my favorite kpop girls group aside from blackpink. Im so happy that you also do reaction video with my girls😊😊 Luv you Insanian and stay safe😘😘
Gidle has a comeback on 14 March 6PM KST Album audio snippet video, a bside performance track video and 2 MV teasers for title track are already out 8 songs on the full album with Tomboy as the title track It’s fire!!
Actually, until last year, Kpop had the I-TRINITY: (G)-IDLE (the g are muted), IZONE and ITZY in the 4th Gen. All of them is so talented, viral, have good reception in international public, really well in KR Charts and HUUUUGE SALES. I recommend watch all of them, the 3 most talented and unique groups in kpop. IZONE disbanded in 29 April but, we all miss them.
Don’t mind the kids with the ‘dO nOt SeXuAlIZe’ comments. When idols are doing sexy dances, and giving sexy glances and singing sexy lyrics you ARE supposed to ‘simp’ 🤡 Yes they are hot AF, and the OMG MV is alluring as hell.
Don't mind the kids? I mean if he's reacting to older groups maybe its fine but just a friendly reminder better be careful as he is starting to explore 4th gen with minor members (not this group tho)
Fact : the one who u said its ur bias in LATATA is supposed to be BLACKPINK member , she was trainer in YG and she trained with the girls to be in BLACKPINK than she left in last 2 months before BLACKPINK debut
hello insanian i like to tell u that i dont like ur reactions but it doesnt mean i hate u u seem like very nice person and u have good sense in music anyway i just wanted to tell u that i promise that i never put hate comment under ur videos ill never do that im not that kind of person anyway just wanted to get that off my chest good luck on ur videos and wish u the best in life💜💙💙
Idle is unique group... Like you'll never expected in every their comeback.. Unlike few other ggs , you can recognise them right away cuz some of them has same genre.. But idle is different.. And they're preparing for their comeback this march! 🥰 anyway i enjoyed your reaction! 🥰

The first means "fire", but is also used metaphorically for "anger" ("I am angry" is literally translated as "fire is coming out"). The second is "flower". The combination of the two characters ("fire flower") means "spark" in Chinese and Japanese (pronounced "huǒhuā" and "hibana", respectively), though I don't think it's a word used in Korean (but if you replace the Chinese characters with native korean words, you get a word for "fireworks", which was Soyeon's hope for this song's impact). The song uses all of these meanings: wanting to spark up the fires of anger to burn up the leftover resentment ("han"), and warm up the heart so flowers of new love can blossom again. Super cool, super deep, in the way how all the wordplay about "han" and "hwa" was used. And it's not the end either: Soyeon and Minnie said that Moon was postponed to be on this album, because it matches the mood, as you look at the sky and... feel. The rest of the songs are also meaningful in their own place in the album. In Miyeon's words, "We tried to express this album as cold winter, hot fire and beautiful but stinging flowers. It also has the meaning of overcoming the scars of separation and being in full bloom again."
As others have said, all three of these songs were also translated into English. Soyeon said they paid special attention with the British songwriter Phildel to make sure the English version of Hwaa captures the exact same feelings like the original. One of the very few English translations in Kpop I wholeheartedly recommend. English version of Oh My God is much more explicit than the original, though: where she wouldn't officially explain what kind of love she is talking about in the original lyrics, the English lyrics are much less ambiguous. I don't know much of how English Latata was made. Of the three, I vote the English Hwaa the best one.
Still, my number one is Put It Straight (Nightmare version) performance on Queendom. The best stage of anything I have ever seen so far, ever.
up!!
This really explains it all. This belongs as top comment!!
Omg! Finally! I will enjoy this reaction I love this group their in my top 3 for sure! They are awesome! 😊
Soyeon is my favorite female K-pop rapper…her lyrics are out of this word. So talented.
You NEED to react to ‘LION’ by GIDLE. It’s just… legendary!
Yasss as stray kids fan, gidle is the only girlgroup i like fron 4th gen because they are so creative and unique, and also a self-produced group too (mostly by soyeon). U should check them out more!
Dancing like a Sienna Mae apology video... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀
The one you liked in Latata is Shuhua the Maknae she's my bias too. It's funny bc the first girl you stopped on was Miyeon who was almost in Blackpink!
The one you liked in Hwaa is Yuqi
Fun fact: this three songs all have an English version!
Something about (G)I-DLE is that they have a unique and different colors of their voices and you can def know every voice of them, also the culture diversity of the members, taiwanese, chinese and thai, half foreigners and half koreans. Soyeon, the leader and main rapper produce, arrange, write and compose the 95% of their discography, also minnie and yuqi did some songs of their albums.
Also their discography are so various of genres, that most of the media call them the gidle genre, they did 27 different genres: Moombahton, synth pop & dark pop, ballad, electropop, electronic, R&B, Soul trap, hip hop, dance pop, deep house, latin pop, trap, chill trap, dream pop, pop, house, disco & retro style, funk, tropical, soundtrack (OST), EDM and pop rock
THEY WILL HAVE A COMEBACK IN MARCH! SUPPORT THEM PLEASE!
Gidle is art and I love them so much. Their music is really different from any kpop songs.Watch their live performances
Thank you, GIDLE is my favorite group
I highly recommend you Lion by this group. Thank you for paying attention to our recommendations btw)
Oooommmmggggg!! Minnie my love😩😩💕💕
I bet you will love G-idle LION too, that song is ✨MASTERPIECE✨
G-idle and blackpink are my absolute favorite groups ever! G-idle's songs are just soooo good and their concepts are so unique. Tied with blackpinks THE ALBUM, their mini album called i-BURN is easily one of my favorite kpop albums ever!
Omg I'm so excited I've been waiting for this reaction for so long thank you so much for reacting and liking them, I'm so happy you got to discover them. They're so talented. Love you and thank you 💗💗💗
Fun fact : Minnie (the girl who appeared first in the first video) is a friend of Blackpink Lisa.
They both are from Thailand.
if you want any recommendation I suggest Uh-Oh and Lion for your next (G)i-dle reaction. Those are 2 of my favorites
Blackpink and (G)-Idle are my best girl group
I love YUQI ❤❤
Your reaction is so meeeeee even tho I’m a fan since “latata”. Their music is really special and I never heard something like them. Vocals, visuals, rap, dance, creativity, charisma, versatility... everything. They just don’t fail to surprise me every fuck!ng time. I just love these girls. Purely. Everything they touch is gold.
I love g Idle instrumentals especially in Lion, Hwaa and Hann. I love the fact that they are so creative and they are not afraid to back with something completely different each time.
Wow this group..unexpected! But i really love G Idle and these songs 🔥 Their content is always unique and their vocals are on point! Also you can really tell who is singing because their voices are so different and i like it ☺️
And i personally don't see the problem in saying they're hot because:
1). They hot
2). They are not minors they all could be actually older than you
3). It's okay to recognise their beauty just make sure you also appreciate their talent and skills
❤️
G IDLE write and produce their own songs. All of their title tracks were written and produced by their leader Soyeon. Other members Minnie and Yuqi write and produce some of their songs too. They are coming with a Full Album on March 14th after over a year of break. Please look forward to it!!! Its gonna be dope for sure
I am really gonna miss Soojin....🥺. Also 21:27 her name is Minnie and she is from THAILAND. She and Lisa are very good friends!!!
Yeassssss there’s more about their song which is LION!!!
hope you react to their other songs 'SENORITA', 'HANN', 'UH OH' and 'LION' too
I actually want foreign reactors to listen to groups English version so they can connect like latata and oh my god English version are lit as af
soyeon is the best rapper in any kpop girl group
and since (G)I-DLE writes and produces almost every own song you could call them a girl band
My favourites from them so far are Lion, Hwaa and Oh my God. Please check out Lion next time!
Idle are coming back with their first full album “I NEVER DIE” on March 14th! Please support!
And soon they will be having their next comeback!!!
You just discovered our precious gems that are very ODD and RARE in Kpop industry
You NEED react to your anothers songs, my request is "SEÑORITA" "UH OH" and "HANN (ALONE)"
They wrote and composed all 3 of these songs. This group is insanely talented and each member is so unique.
Latata was their Debut song. You get to see where they started.
Oh My God is probably the most high concept Music video it is so different and filled with so much symbolism and stories.
You like dark. Check out "Put it straight" (Nightmare edition) from their QueenDom Performance. its a Dark remix of a B-side from their 1st album. All the performances from Queendom were amazing and you could feel the emotions from them.
OMGG im so happy you reacted to my girls, if you want you can also take a look at soyeon’s solo “beam beam” !!
Definitely enjoyed yours reaction to girls,yes they crazy talented and beautiful.
Minne is from thailand❤️❤️❤️❤️🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭
you should see LION and UH OH these are FIRE
18:20 .... 18:23 ... Is this henna ? it's from Arab culture .. in fact , I'm Arab .. and I'm really happy to see that Arab culture is getting what it deserves ✨️💞
listen to Dumdi Dumdi and Señorita, it's sound so great plus Hann is such a bop
You can say it, they're gorgeous 😍
i got this notification while watching your Stray Kids reaction video.love you🥳💗
This group us fire... Their discography and the songs are amazing
minnie ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
FINALLYYYY !!! react to the memeber YUQI's solo songs! Giant and bonnie & clyde
For me (G)I-dle Is the best kpop girl group with blackpink ! I think Soyeon has enormous potential in writing music! The girls sing super well! Honestly, I love Minnie's voice! Although Soojin is no longer in the band, I can't wait to see their comeback in March !
Much love ❤️
Thank you so much for the reaction 🤍🤍🤍🔥was desperately waiting for this, 😭N like Jisoo we also share the same bias now🔥🔥🤍Shuhua🤍🤍🤍... She's the visual of Gidle
Ty for reactinggg
OMFG IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONEE
time for the (G)i-dle rabbit hole, MY TOP girl group that i love right now
(G)i-dle is so good !!! They are one of the best girlgroup ever and they are self produced they are really unique also they are finally having a comeback in March after more than a year !
G-idle is also one of my favorite kpop girls group aside from blackpink. Im so happy that you also do reaction video with my girls😊😊 Luv you Insanian and stay safe😘😘
Im loving these sounds!❤️🔥💖💗
You are from me! Yeah she is so beautiful. She is Shuhua. She is my bias too
Gidle has a comeback on 14 March 6PM KST
Album audio snippet video, a bside performance track video and 2 MV teasers for title track are already out
8 songs on the full album with Tomboy as the title track
It’s fire!!
Interesting fact! Miyeon of (G) IDLE was part of a little unknown
group called Pink Punk which later became Blackpink.
G-idle is so swag when it comes to stage like when they perform but in real life they're very chaotic Hahahaha just sad soojin was kick out😪
Actually, until last year, Kpop had the I-TRINITY: (G)-IDLE (the g are muted), IZONE and ITZY in the 4th Gen. All of them is so talented, viral, have good reception in international public, really well in KR Charts and HUUUUGE SALES. I recommend watch all of them, the 3 most talented and unique groups in kpop.
IZONE disbanded in 29 April but, we all miss them.
We need part 2
Please
Queens!!! 💕💕
18:46...both are same girl. She is Yeh Shuhua or cutely called Shushu. She is Taiwanese and she is the maknae
(g) - idle🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The one you said your bias with dark hair in latata mv was shuhua 🥰 and yuqi is the bob hair in hwaa mv hehehe.
Don’t mind the kids with the ‘dO nOt SeXuAlIZe’ comments. When idols are doing sexy dances, and giving sexy glances and singing sexy lyrics you ARE supposed to ‘simp’ 🤡 Yes they are hot AF, and the OMG MV is alluring as hell.
Don't mind the kids? I mean if he's reacting to older groups maybe its fine but just a friendly reminder better be careful as he is starting to explore 4th gen with minor members (not this group tho)
Idle is just so talenteddd
Sooooo talented
Wait until you see lion and put it straight performance. It'll blow your mind
It's the painting of the two guys doing Capoeira for me!
LMAO not barber wire💀😭
Fact : the one who u said its ur bias in LATATA is supposed to be BLACKPINK member , she was trainer in YG and she trained with the girls to be in BLACKPINK than she left in last 2 months before BLACKPINK debut
He said that Shuhua was his bias not Miyeon
awesome reaction to their videos!
pls react to put it straight, hann and lion by gidle YOU WILL LOVE THEM PLEASE
you should react to more of their songs, They are amazing!
hello insanian i like to tell u that i dont like ur reactions but it doesnt mean i hate u u seem like very nice person and u have good sense in music anyway i just wanted to tell u that i promise that i never put hate comment under ur videos ill never do that im not that kind of person anyway just wanted to get that off my chest good luck on ur videos and wish u the best in life💜💙💙
one of the girls there was actually supposed to be a BLACKPINK member
I love them!!!💜❤️😻♥️😺💋
Idle is unique group... Like you'll never expected in every their comeback.. Unlike few other ggs , you can recognise them right away cuz some of them has same genre.. But idle is different.. And they're preparing for their comeback this march! 🥰 anyway i enjoyed your reaction! 🥰
Finally!
They are the only girl group who writes and produces their own songs
