(G)I-DLE is Trying to Fix K-Pop. But Are They?

I like how when Soyeon showed the doctors the photo, the facial features kept on changing its kinda like how society’s beauty standards keep on changing

14:42 you said “this is comedy” and you’re 100% correct. the whole song is a parody even soyeon mentioned that it’s like that on purpose. people criticize soyeon for the english lyrics so she added more, people said (G)I-DLE can’t dance so they did dance battle, people hated on my bag because of the twerking so now they’re twerking on the runway, people attack soyeon for having the most lines so now she’s in the "shadows"

Minnie's dating Miyeon's ex in the story, and Minnie is like the top of the girl food chain in the MV. Soyeon wants to be all of them, but Yuqi wants to be Shuhua, Shuhua wants to be Miyeon, and Miyeon wants to be Minnie. Minnie is the Regina George. Besides the movie references, this whole concept is based on Soyeon's experiences as a CUBE trainee as she was a contestant on the shows Produce 101 and Unpretty Rapstar. Soyeon was ridiculed for being 'ugly' and 'unfit' to be in a group or to debut. She was also advised to undergo plastic surgery to fit the beauty standards of Korea. And this was happening to her when she was 17 years old.

i think the end of queencard signified that you should just be yourself, and have confidence. as you said, a queencard is someone who is the popular girl, and calling yourself that is like the epitome of confidence. in the picture you could see she was at the party, being who she is, doing whatever she wants. so if i had to describe the ending, it’s that soyeon realised that she should stay being herself, and that she could be proud of herself and who she is.

She doesn't get validation from social media, she puts it away and walks away happy as herself.

I love how Queencard and Nxde encourage ppl to be confident

Queencard ending is more like "I don't need to be pretty, I'm queen for myself" and she was acknowledged by people just for what she is - herself. So she actually went to the party but behind the scenes. She was reading an invitation to the party in Allergy. And we saw her twisted dreamy version of it in Queencard. The message is very powerful - love yourself and be confident. And the ending of Queencard is kinda symbolic since she gets recognition as she is from girls she was looking up to much to her surprise. She got confidence in herself. And I guess the second message of the ending is - you don't need all sns bs to feel pretty and confident.

The meaning of the two songs is that soyeon always looked up to her friends shuhua, minnie, yuqi and miyeon. She always thought she was less prettier than them, even calling herself ugly. However, in queencard, we can see all of soyeon's friends turn into her in some clips, that means she has always been as beautiful as them, she just lacked self confidence. The meaning of these songs is that you don't have to compare yourself with others, your body is perfect as you are and you're enough, all you need is confidence.

The ending tells us that she got a lot of likes. But whilst she got acknowledged on social media, she looks up at the sky and she looks to be thinking a lot. Not happy for being recognized, then she puts the phone away (bc she realizes likes are nothing) and walks away happily as herself in the moment

A bit of context. She has been bullied throughout her career for being "too ugly for K-Pop". It's not about where you get your validation from, it's about succeeding when you don't fit the norm. Having said that, I wouldn't have noticed any of this without your as usual awesome breakdown. All I see is pretty lights and pretty girls, including Soyeon.

gidle is actually so brave for their mvs, they truly are a legit talented and artsy girl group

i love queencard and allergy so much

The point is she realized her looks doesn't matter, her confidence last night thinking she is a cool girl and sexy, even if others said in allergy that's not true, is what made SY a Queencard, even if she's thick or thin what you need is confidence so even others will look up to you since it's the hardest thing to achieve.

I think you misunderstood the morals in the end. I belive it meant that when she finally decided love herself instead of trying to be someone else or seek validation from others, she discovered people she looked up to already liked her for who she was. And the message she wrote in the back of the Queencard lesson and sent in the paper plane is that she was already beautiful as herself. Queencard is a 2000s american slang very popular between korean gen Zs currently.. it sorta has the same meaning of "it girl" (they pronounce Queenka as Idle sings on the track). Fun fact.. they used their real instagram @ in the MV.

I love that (G)I-DLE took inspiration from Ariana Grande's MV "Side to Side" for the Bicycle part and Little Mix's MV "Black Magic" in 7:29 for their MV concept in Allergy. That's why one of their lyrics in Queencard is "looks so cute, looks so pretty like Ariana"

This is a bit random, but I love how the mvs combined starts with Queencard, but ends with Allergy. Queencard = confidence Allergy = self consciousnesses Even what the media portrays as “Queencards” have “Allergies” too. Allergy = something people rarely have a specific one of and is scientifically just your body panicking at something that’s not a big deal How did anyone not notice this?!

Ahhhhh Jordan, the teasers make the end of Queencard a little more clear, they’re all actually close friends, and all that ‘social media’ flashing at the end was from her real life friends.

JORDAN PLS MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT S-CLASS, THE TRANSITIONS ARE CRAZY

Why there isnt an S Class reaction ? Its so good , I thought Youd be one of the first ones to react to that
