REACTING TO EVERY NEWJEANS MV (ATTENTION, HYPE BOY, HURT, COOKIE)

- →Playlist of MV here: • NewJeans
Note: I've been reading you guys comments and I find them extremely insightful, both ways. Feom what I see, I think the controversial aspect of their debut all together can be divided in multiple categories: the Lolita concept, the translation of the cookie song, their age (and maybe more).
As I explained in the video, I personally am not against young idol debuting in the industry, iys nothing new and I am not surprised anymore. As long as the concept is not not fitting the members age and maturity.
Like I said in the video, I did not get any visual clue from the MV that the concept, song or lyrics were sexualising them and if I didn't have any prior knowledge of the group, I probably wouldn't have picked up on the suggestive double meaning of cookie.
Which brings me to the question of translation and culture! Thank you btw to those who took their time to explain further the meaning of cookie in Korean and what that word is used for etc.
I find it really interesting to see the contrasting reaction between the international audience (mainly English speaking) and Korean audience. It definitely shows that sometimes, meaning gets lost in translation and it is hard to translate with a cultural lens (if that even makes sense). I suppose as International fans, we have to remember that Korean songs, in Korean come with cultural bagage that we are not necessarily aware of. But I also believe that it is partially the labels responsibility to avoid this kind of controversy, especially considering the age of the members and knowing that a large portion of the audience will be International.
What do you think?

I think companies know very well what they showcases to sell wether good or bad based on people opinions as long as it draws “attention”. It is not surprising as many of them employs it a marketing strategy that works time after time in many aspects of businesses.
thank you queen ❤️
for the controversy with the lyrics "cookie", one of the songwriters involved isn't korean. she's swedish and is completely fluent in english, so when you look at it from that aspect it definitely doesn't look good considering the cookie innuendo is a western terminology that she as a songwriter would be completely aware of.
@@kennedy3682 tbh, i would've went with it, if min heejin wasn't already rumored to have some weird behavior towards minors...
and i also find kind of weird that heejin said herself, while speaking about her accusations, that cookie's meaning is coming from a slang of the u.s.a in 80s, as if the double-meaning of this word doesn't come the same place.
So the lyrics only get weird when it's translated into English since people who speak English use a lot of metaphors in the songs to refer to sex, native Korean speaker themself find this lyrics cute and unique that's why this song keep rising on the charts.
Hype boy is THAT song making me sing the whole chorus with all the korean lines included
I kno it’s like they make you feel like you understand, I love Enhypen for this as well I vibe to their songs so hard like I understand lol
You know you're up to something when you got to the part, "I just want you, call my phone right now, I just wanna hear you're mine!"
NewJeans is definitely monster rookies! All of the tracks are so good and all the members are beautiful and hella talented.
they literally came out of nowhere and killer it
Yeaaa so true 🥰💜.
There's a reason why the topped all the charts in Korea and hold both Snsd and BP of debuting no1 and glued like bruh i think it shows that charts changed and the whole system changed like the general public in Korea loves new jeans and it help new jeans maintain their dominance in the charts for almost a month now
@@silvertigra4117 I think General public (the age group of 15 - 35) who are the primary music consumers in South Korea have definitely liked the chill vibe of them especially with the nostalgia and also since it's summer it suits the cafe vibe too, so they're being played everywhere :)
Literally
it’s just really fascinating to see them dominate the charts with attention like wow
it's so impressive that all their three songs are top 10 in melon charts atm. I don't think i remember any girl group debuting with this kind of success.
@@sethchua5865 .the last one that did the same on the charts with their debut was Blackpink 👀
not just attention, hype boy is now aiming for the second spot in all charts
That is how you get “attention“ my friend! 😊

Attention and Hype Boy are currently rank #1 & #2 respectively in all Korean Music Chart.

They're absolutely doing so great both in physical and digital sales. They've been doing so great on the charts too. They are the first girl group to top the Spotify South Korea Artist Chart (other k-groups are BTS and Bigbang). Attention is now the fastest 4th Gen. Song to surpass 100,000 likes on MelOn (15 days and 23 hrs. if im mistaken). All 3 NewJeans debut title tracks (Attention, Hype Boy, and Cookie) occupied TOP 10 on MelOn, Genie, and Bugs realtime chart. They are the first and only 4th gen. group to have 3 song charted on MelOn, Genie, and Bugs realtime TOP 10 simultaneously. Lastly, NewJeans and BTS are the only artists to simultaneously occupy the entire Top 4 of the Spotify South Korea Daily Chart. These are just some of the things that this 2 WEEKS old group have accomplished so far.
Not even a month old, yet they are already next to big names such as BTS and BigBang!
Their album sales are also insane. Their ULs are continuously increasing. ALSO, I would like to mention that two of the members, Danielle and Hanni, participated in writing the lyrics of some of their title tracks. Danielle participated in writing Attention and Hanni participated in writing Hype Boy.
Ngl, i never been a gg stan but newjeans make me!!! I love their songs so much helppp
Bro to hold off both Snsd and BP says a lot like no other girl group that debuted in 2022 comes close with there achievements 140 raks (last checked) is almost impossible for any girl group to do straight like btoh I've and SSERAFIM combine almost 40 raks and to see something new and refreshing that made them stand out to the korean public and people who listened to 1st gen music can say new jeans brought an Era back in time
They're not the first gg to top Spotify korea global chart tho, IVE topped it and were at #1 for 54 days

@@sigh-realcar-in-your-area7494 its…. gross? the lyrics are gross? whyre u enjoying someones reaction when theyve clearly heard some nasty stuff being sang by CHILDREN.
Also a bit of context. As native korean living in the US, I can say that the korean lyrics to Cookie is a bit more innocent than they look in the English translation. As I was listenting to the song and then reading the subtitles...I was like...hmm..really? Well not exactly but yeah...I guess you can translate it like that.
this was what i thought as well when i watched it the first time with the english captions on. there are speculations that the english captions they used are the actual lyrics of the demo before they changed the lyrics to korean. i don’t know if that was intentional or a mistake on their end but it sure has started a whole controversy around newjeans.

@@chesiresaysthey finding every possible way to defend this pedo song it’s insane
What I really love about them is they remind me of me and my friends. They represent GenZ so much from the vibe to the fashion. I dont know what the fuss is all about. This is what teens look like! I just loved Attention. No crazy make up, no crazy high fashion fits.
What I love about their debut is it was a surprise, no teasers, just pure vibes and good music. That’s why they are dominating korean charts despite such a small fandom compared to other groups.
I just got kinda sad when the main thing you knew about them was the controversy. This kinda made you judge the mvs through that lens and became sus about every little thing that could be problematic. Not your fault tho
Yes!!! Exactly!! They are exactly what my 14-16 cousins look like. Their videos match their ages and is really refreshing. The cookie lyrics are kind of weird but only if you look from the perspective of an adult, but the mv has literally nothing controversial.
Anyways! Really happy that they are doing well regardless of all that fuss around their age
It made me sad too I could tell she already had an opinion of them before even watching
To be fair, I did not have an opinion on them but the lyrics of cookie and the ceo since its what i saw online ^^
@@GZBKarma I understand
@@GZBKarma anyway cookie its mean CD, so many people misunderstood
This the first group where the skill level of every single member in terms of dancing and singing are all proficient and amazingly close to each other, and I find that amazing.
Hanni is actually full Vietnamese, but was born and raised in Australia!! Danielle is half Korean and half Australian. I believe she has lived in both countries, but I'm not totally sure!
dani was born in Korea, she moved to Australia for a while and then came back to Korea
@@xetranvan123 but the is mixed right?
Half Australian is not a thing and I really wish people would stop saying that. Half Canadian, half Australian, half American, half British, etc etc cannot be half of someone's race. Those are nationalities. To say Danielle is half Korean and half Australian is equating Australian with being white and that's not cool. Not trying to start anything but trying to educate people because it's very ignorant thinking even if it's accidental. There are too many races and ethnicities in Australia to use Australian to describe someone being half white
people say half austalisn or american or half vietnamese or whatever to specifically know where they are from. or where thier parents are from.
@@LesEXO2012 so the correct term to describe danielle would be half korean half white? /gen idk why but that sounds off to me (probably because literally no one uses it)
Interpretation of the Hype Boy MV for those who don't understand:
- Minji: Feeling she is not confident, then his friend LimeBoy writes words of encouragement in Minji's hand, and Minji tries to eat Lime/Lemon to prove she is brave, after that invites LimeBoy, during the scene at the pool party Minji looked for LimeBoy she thought he wouldn't come after their performance, Minji finally looked for LimeBoy who was lying in the palace, then the two of them chatted and LimeBoy's hands could be seen full of writing as well. Conclusion Minji managed to become confident and Minji & LimeBoy became friends.
- Danielle & Haerin: They are both tangled with a basketball boy, finally Dani finds out that this basketball guy is a playboy that try to persuade Haerin, during the scene where Haerin wants to be given candy with a basketball boy suddenly met Dani too, that's why this basketball guy ran away and Dani gave the candy to Haerin, went to the pool party there was no basketball boy because he wasn't invited because he was a playboy, and Dani & Haerin were alone because they were comfortable with each other, thanking each other for getting out of the prey of playboy basketball. Conclusion Danielle & Haerin are besties who escaped from playboy.
- Hyein: Hyein has a crush on an asthma boy, but she gets hooked when the guy takes the picture so Hyein just smiles because she already has a crush, then Hyein takes a photo "The inhaler gives a code if she has a crush, and Hyein VC with asthma boy invites them to a pool party, then The asthma boy looks at their performance, when Hyein wants to give him a drink she sees the asthma boy and his friend are making fun/mocking of the dance moves when Hyein performs, that's where Hyein gets irritated so the drink is squeezed. Conclusion Hyein hates asthma boy because it's beyond expectations to mock their performance.
- Hanni : Hanni really likes this mysterious dancer hoodie, she loves watching dance videos on her cellphone and then she strays into the soccer field, then Hanni records/VC she dances to the dancer hoodie and tries to invite them to the pool party, when they perform at the pool The dancer hoodie party was fun watching them perform, right inside Danielle & Haerin asked Hanni to approach this dancer hoodie because Haerin really liked the person, now when approached the hoodie dancer started to take off the mask and open the hoodie, there it was seen that Hanni was surprised that this dancer hoodie was too girls, Hanni finally realized that it was okay. Conclusion Hanni managed to overcome the disappointment that did not meet her expectations and accepted reality.
I think that interpretation on Minji was that she was so obsessed with him and his green aesthetic apparently, that she even paint her nails with his color
He signed her hand and she thought that he is really into her but later she found out that all of his hand is packed with these handwrittings what's mean that he is not acting special in her presence but he's just that type of guy who come along and flirts with everybody
@@georgiyrozanov8645 Very nice depiction, there's could be lots of different meanings. Just deppends on each personal perspective
@@jeeewhyyypheee you need to take the chat from the intro and all of the version into consideration too. Actually the story was pretty clear that Minji has one sided crush. And realizing he didnt like her the way she did.
Haerin dont have any crush. While danielle thinking she's going steady with this guy, and then in the mv we can see he flirted with both of them with the exact same text. Haerin didnt really get impressed since the beginning but ofc pissed since she knows that dude has something going with her friend already.
And hyein one, she has misconception about her crush thinking he some innocent misunderstood artist, then you'll see he became kinda jerk on text, she already feeling the ick but invited him anyway, and then its just confirmed he's not the dude she thought he is.
Thank u for this..I really needed this so much😭😭I thought Dani and hyerin liked each otber
I am totally obsessed with Hype Boy. It's only been out for more than 2 weeks and it's already my most listened Kpop song ever in Spotify.
Yeahh me too. When the first time i saw them, I automatically thought that they had the same aura with BoA debut era 😭 And i really love it. Because it's so rare, idols who use the y2k concept like them. SO SO SO SO IN LOVE WITH NEW JEANS ❤
That might just be the reason I love their sound so much. BoA has this rnb yet pop modern sound to her. I love BoA to death and I absolutely love NewJeans's music. The members are also very talented. I have always been a vocal/music stan. I don't really mind the members age and concept since they are my age and it feels very genZ but knowing they are my age and have to be put on the spotlight...
Been waiting for this!! NewJeans is sooooo refreshing in the industry, tbh.
I’m Brazilian and when I watched Cookie I did not find anything weird with the lyrics. The problem is some people think there’s only their culture in the world and forget that in other places things aren’t the same
For real. Knetz love this song so much, Cookie.
Exactly
@@mulfand7762
Im not korean im a Filipino and I like cookie very much.
The song was written by people who would’ve known what “Cookie” implies. Why else do you think there are lines like “take it don’t break it I wanna see you taste it” or mentioning the scent, or saying “only baked at my house, softer than a brownie”.
Korean culture has nothing to do with it.
Agree 👏🏻
honestly this is the best debut in years!!! I got chills even after I have been listening to these songs and videos for almost a month now!! and yet still the songs and the vibes are soo reminiscing and refreshing at the same time!!
THESE GIRLIES ARE SLAYING!!! have missed you sm its so good to have you back with sm content!💕
Newjeans literally saved kpop😭 like, their concept and songs are sooo keep them real! Just simply good songs yet actually hard to be found in this saturated kpop industry!
Literally what I’ve been saying!! Kpop was dying and they came in with freshness
AGREE!
@@nonchalantsavagery do u know H1-KEY? I find them similar to Newjeans . this concept is what I expect in kpop
예전에는 원래 이런 컨셉의 곡이 많았다. 원래 케이팝이 그랬어. 케이팝의 역사는 아주 오래됐다구.
@@bluezip7 I understand what you said. I really do prefer old-school kpop. 4minutes, SNSD, f(x) , after school, T-ara, wonder girls. their catchy songs are very unique.
these girls are doing so well both in korean charts and international charts, wish them the best, so talented
To be honest, as a Korean, I am grateful that they became famous through this controversy I also thank foreigners for fighting for them
Hyein debut at 14(15 Korean, which is common) but she's been in the entertainment industry since she's 8, I think she is the most confident member so far and she's very headstrong. Her family wouldn't approve of her debuting if they find it inappropriate for her. They are actually supposed to debut in 2021, the PD postponed it bc she felt they are not ready yet at the time.
Also, how is it an issue when a kpop group member debuts so young but young actors are everywhere?
Maybe you're young and don't realize, but a lot of older people are well aware that unfortunately families letting their young kids work in entertainment of any kind don't always care what it does to them, or hopefully they're just somehow naive to it as well. That and I do wonder if the girls all signed contracts with parental permission, but the parents had no idea what kind of lyrics the girls would be singing. Even then, I'm assuming one of Danielle's parents is a native English speaker, and we don't know if they have literally any control over what their daughter is singing. If they were totally against it, I don't think there is much they can do at this point, it's a complicated situation where they wouldn't want to jeopardize her career, either. I think she's 16 or 17, so maybe they actually take no issue with someone her age singing a song full of innuendos anyway.
Regardless, I don't think the main problem is debuting kids that young, but if the full grown adults in their company aren't careful to protect them from this very situation then we have a problem. The English lyrics are straight up dirty, and a person doesn't have to be perverted to understand that. I don't typically even pay attention to lyrics in songs, especially when it comes to kpop, but from the first line when the maknae who is 14 yrs old sings "it ain't for free" I got such a weird vibe. Then the song just keeps getting progressively worse. Ultimately, it's about not placing blame on viewers for seeing dirty lyrics for what they are, but we shouldn't be made uncomfortable enough to want the company to update the English version so we can enjoy the song, too. They should also be more concerned about how easily the girls can be portrayed instead of blowing it off like, "Oh, the Korean lyrics are totally innocent, this is your problem, not ours". Well no, there should be concern over the wrong type of audience using their content inappropriately.
On top of all this, native Korean speakers are coming forward to say they fully understand the innuendos.
"Her family wouldn't approve of her debuting if they find it inappropriate for her." many parents with kids in their industry are also very lenient /evil like the companies. and unless the parents are with them all the time they're at the company I don't think they'd know much about whats happening till it comes out. parents can instigate or be overly clueless about whats going on, sadly. and its the majority.
Also the rumors day the debut 2021 would be only 4 girls and they add hyein in the line up final Also the minji recused to be a center in the previous girl group of Sm With Woul be The * aespa* when only ningning survive of the smrookies
For those who misunderstood Cookie
To explain it one by one I made a paragraph for your reference.
“Made a cookie” referring to the song
“Softer than a brownie” here refers to the song attention which has a soft like chorus
“Living in ur head rent free” the songs being very addictive and always stuck in our heads.
“Made a cookie” a song for the crush
“Pick ur poison” here refers to Either replicating the feelings back or having them rent free on their mind ( the crushes mind )
“I’ll melt ur heart away” back to the first line “Made a cookie” they will melt his heart away with the song. “So good yeah” has 2 meanings the songs they made for him and them being able to melt their heart ( with the song )
Reference from first part of the song “it ain’t for free” it’s not free as they want the crush to like him back, “if you want it , u can get it” it’s like they are confessing their crush to the person, but he needs to confess ( replicate the feelings back) for more songs.
“Looking at my cookie” looking at the cd that had their song, “the sent alone will make u see it” the curiosity will make him come back them for listening to the song
“Taste it” is like a filler reference since u can taste actual cookies ( the ones u eat)
They mean that they want their crush to have a taste of their love for them( the crush) .
“You can’t stop at one bite” since they baked a song the crush can’t just take one look at it, but the crush needs to also listen to it as well.
And lastly, “Cookie” passed the broadcasting stage meaning they can perform this song on all shows so if you see something wrong with these lyrics it’s on YOU.
Nice explain . 👍👍
@@newjeansluvu4769 and knetz loving it.
Cookie is doing very well in all Korean Music Charts.
That alone states or shows that their accusations towards Cookie is nonsense.
why are y'all still trying to excuse the lyrics? ALL of this sounds like reaching. even if the lyrics read innocent in korean, the demo was written in english and no english-speaking songwriter would write a song like cookie without sexual innuendoes in mind. the fact that they gave that demo to nj is already very icky, no matter how much they tried to rewrite the lyrics and tie it with the whole "wE'Re CoOkINg a CD fOr OUr FaNS" bs
@@proboffensive where did you found the demo was written in english? article or webpage please to check
nah u cant say theres something wrong with people misinterpreting the lyrics. who tf would think about thier song and cd while seeing them lyrics ffs
I really like how mature there voices sound, not that I don't enjoy higher pitch but their deeper voices are really pretty ^^ I also really love the chill Y2K vibe of the songs that is what made me love Khan's song as well because they did that kind of sound :D
I am so glad i watched cookie on the 1st moment it came out, i had no idea about them or the controversy, i lively enjoyed it and it's my no.1 favourite song from 4th gen since long time... Lyrics i just thought of normal cookie only, now that people looking at them in wrong way makes me so sad
The same scenario happened when same people bought up sht about icecream lyrics by blackpink as controversial ...
That's one of the reason I enjoy filming my reactions as soon as possible so that my thoughts do not get influenced by others but I can also understand how some people were genuinely put off by seeing the lyrics at first because of the innuendos in English and raised concern about it.
@@GZBKarma rather than raise up a stink personally, ill just sleep on the group a couple years. If they still have bangers then, I'll buy some albums
What did you think they were referring to in the lyrics with “looking at my cookie, take it don’t break it, I want to see you taste it”?

Listening to you speaking VNese is a blessing girllllll so dont worry about your language ability, you're the way you are ❤️
Even the cookie at the beggining transforms into a CD at the end. But people probably didn't even saw that 😂😂
this true 😂
for real, I think some people are just following the outrage bandwagon
@@samsam-rd7vz Nah, you have to realize a lot of us absolutely love their songs, but I'm angry because I can't really enjoy them now. I'm an older fan, and it makes me so incredibly uncomfortable every time I try to enjoy even the unproblematic songs. People aren't looking to be outraged in this particular instance, I would think most older fans are made to feel weird about liking kpop to begin with... then you add the blatantly inappropriate lyrics on top of some themes that seem to add to lolita concept. So, it makes me annoyed/upset/whatever that here's this group that is very talented with great songs who has beaten SNSD at all the music shows this week, but I can't feel free to enjoy their music. It's messed up to put fans in this position honestly.
@@NickaLah I understand that it can make you uncomfortable because of what the meaning of the word "cookie" has in parts of the west, but I truly do not think there were any sexual innuendos in the songs themselves in the way they were written and for their target audience. So it makes no sense to me that people try to drown the fact that they are indeed good songs and send hate to the girls. Have you seen the sheer number of videos on why people "will never stan newjeans" or why they are "horrible" using this justification? And again, I barely see what people mean by the lolita concept. The videos show no cue that they are being portrayed in an openly sexual way. Do teenagers flirting with other teenagers mean that they are lolita? Honestly, I understand where your discomfort stems from, but I truly think that this is a problem of interpretation and not intent
pfvr né, essa historinha de ser música para os fãs nem faz sentido. elas literalmente deixam claro que estão falando com um menino na letra
OMG your hair looks SO GOOD! Thanks for doing all 4 reactions and not letting the controversy change your views of the mvs.
I definitely feel like it's a cultural and mindset difference. We westerns interpret lyrics differently and with the "double" meaning in mind, while Koreans interpret with no malice and culturally based.
this is so stupid. as if chunghas bicycle and blackpinks ice cream doesn’t exist ?? we all know those have double meanings. ALSO the lyrics were originally written in english by a person who is FLUENT in english so ?? don’t try and blame us for being western when these lyrics are literally not okay ??
@@hugebakkaemotae8002 The lyrics are fine. How you interpret them is up to you. If you want to see "Cookie" in a sexual way, then you do you, but stop trying to force your opinion and interpretation onto others.
Koreans are not idiots...we can feel the nuence, concept, etc even it's not that straight in Korean lyrics...
@@PersonaPrime hypocrite. the original commenter is literally telling people that they can’t have an opinion or be suspicious of the weird lyrics and blaming us for being “western” but you don’t have a problem then ??
@@pjs331 This is my concern :( I do get the impression some Koreans will defend the lyrics because MHJ is considered a "genius" and highly regarded in Korea. That and the age of consent was raised only in 2020, when it used to be only 13... so I dunno if that has something to do with it, too, that older adults have been allowed to think of young girls a certain way and it's only just starting to change?
NewJeans is epitome of freshness
I’m so happy to see this reaction and I’m even more happy that you took your time to understand the situation better. Many CZcamsrs only listened to one party of the controversy, the easiest one since the kpop community is mostly sided with this party, the “scandal” party. Thank you again and again 🙏🏻 I’s so frustrating to see many rookies and senior unfairly criticized by the kpop community, most of the time they only want to sabotage the success of the group hiding behind the “we want to protect them” mask.
I honestly don't think most people are trying to sabotage the group, I adore them and love their songs... but I just can't actually enjoy their music because Cookie makes me so uncomfortable. I really wish they'd change the English translations somehow so I don't have to feel weird about it and can enjoy all their music without any worries.
GWORL!! I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE FOR A LONG TIME!!!
i'm OBSESSED with nwjns. i love every song sm, the members are so amazing & talented. the full package fr
This group are trendsetters and leads the ways for ‘gen z’ era! I want to call them 5th gen group! 💜
Hanni is fully Vietnamese^^ it's just she grew up in Australia and maybe bc of that she got the Australian nationality too.
the same "controversy" that is happening with "Cookie" happened with "Cat & Dog" by TXT. i remember people saying the lyrics were "cringe" and "weird" when in fact they were pretty normal for koreans.
i think people forget there's something called "culture difference" which means that not everything that is weird for you will be weird for other people.
English speakers wrote the lyrics. If you read the lyrics it’s not innocent. It has innuendos. Song for fans yet they are mention a “boy”. And there are plenty of Koreans who said it’s sexual but y’all dismiss it. Adults wrote this.
you need to realise that ENGLISH speaking women who're 30 wrote this. the song wasnt written in korean. the innuendos were intentional. however i do beliveve the girls themselves do not realize what's wrong with it. because fyi yeri recently realized what ice-cream cake actually meant. the lyrics were translated by a woman who's also fluent in english. even tho the slangs arent universal but the lyrics are pretty much double meaning suggestive. and ngl knetz are VERY picky with what they choose to consider weird. Fully Grown women (24+ each) singing Ice-cream was offensive for them. but this isnt. ice cream cake wasnt. and cat and dog was. they're very "choosy" in what they decide to "cancel"
And every MV's somehow correlate/connected to each other. Like "Attention" they want to be the attention, then these "Hype Boy" got their attention, after finding out what's up some of the girls got "Hurt", and they decided to get some "Cookie" to feel better 😆
Omg my bias is hyein and while watching the mv or other reactors i kept on thinking why she looked so familiar....i got it now thanks to you reading the facts about them. She was a member of the "play with me" club and i used to watch that till she graduated. she was a great dancer and i always thought the companies that recruit her and naeun would be blessed af and alwys used to imagine them both debuting in a group together.Can't believe she actually became an idol omg. i'm gonna cry pls...
I’ve been waiting for this!🥰
I was waiting for this recation~
Me too
Yey! I am waiting for you to react to them. ❤️ Thank you.
Ommggg I think I’m more shocked at the fact that you’re Vietnamese and can read so fluently. LOVE YOU SO MUCH !
Cookie sounds like teasing and almost child like and playful. If you listen to the way they pronounce the lyrics and the style you can hear the teasing and child like, playful vibes and
I think that's why korean didn't get weirded out that much compared to the english translation.
I also think they made cookie for kids to listen to. You know playing with child's innocent minds. Like you know when we were kids we don't really pay that much attention about the possible hidden meaning of songs.
Cookie just reminds me of T.V commercials, or T.V variety show performances something like that.
Just English translate issue. Korean sentences to not that issue on iyric
"take it take it I wanna see you taste it" is english. I love them but yall need to stop playing silly. nobody's singing those lyrics about real cookies btw.
"Made a little cookie, come take a lookie, baked at my place only, come get some" YUP TOTALLY A LYRIC FOR CHILDRENS
@@MagentaVibes that sounds more like misinterpretation and assuming the worst
@@iomg1775 Those sexual lyrics they sing are in English and clearly sexual. Stop excusing it. It's not a misinterpretation. It is a sexual innuendo.
ahhhhh i waited for this for so long huhu!
They really hit differently in me.😍 Honestly I only love ITZY in 4th gen group and after NEW JEANS bloom gosh I would say that they should be the ROOKIE OF THE YEAR THIS YEAR.🔥🔥
All their songs are doing well on k-charts, sooo amazing for a rookie like them 👏
omg ive been waiting for this!! thank you for your reaction ❤️❤️
Actually don't know if you noticed but at the end of Hanni's ver of hype boy, the dancer was female/non-binary/etc.
they're so hype in KOREA right now, thanku for reacted this omg!
*Cookie a fan song by newjeans talking about "baking a cookie" for their fans aka making music which is which is why you see CDs and cookies in the MV*

Their sound nd vocals techniques are so refreshing and easy to hear....they are like a breath of fresh air in the constant beat changing songs now
I just waiting for this, thanks ❤️
YAYY I WAS WAITING FOR THIS
Thanks for reacting to NewJeans 1st EP 💗
This group is insane, they broke so many records within a month since they debut like WOW. I know why people hate this group so much n trying to make NewJeans down and make a fake issues. Especially NewJeans is from HYBE, u know Hybe have so many haters 😂 I see a lot of people sayin that they concern bout NewJeans but actually they just want to boycott & disband NewJeans and telling people to not stan this group like wtf. Such a haters behaviour.
Anw, congratulations for NewJeans 1st win🎉
Thank you you for reacting to Newjeans ❤️
Been waiting for this 💖 love them
finally! I waited so long for your reaction.
they're already so different from any group, they're so amazing
NewJeans songs are all top tiers! Excited for their future music. Knetz really like them tho. ROTY will be fire this year.
Omg!! Iam waiting for this video for a long time!! Thankss
yay finally! i was waiting for your reaction to them 🥹🥹🥹
26:13 nowadays yes💀💀 still the maknae is actually 14 not 12 xd. Yes, in fact it’s a very young age but if we start to search idols who debuted at that age or even younger we can easily found them. And the other members debuted at an age which is sadly normal in kpop.
Except the maknae and the unnie, the other ones are 16-17. Wonyoung and Jisung also debuted with 14. Hueningkai debuted with 16 as well as yuna, jk, tzuyu, suzy, niki, somi etc etc so(except for hyein) I don’t understand why is everybody making a big deal of their ages now, not concept, when lit lots of groups with members with the same age debuted a week before them(ironically). I haven’t seen anyone talking about classy’s ages, or the breakdance given to IVE where is Leseo who is 15 or Eunchae age as well.
I’ve only mentioned these idols because they’re the ones I’m sure about the ages and this stuff.
Ikr, it’s just a fake concern. Even this people want to boycott NewJeans & telling others people to not stan this group like wtf. U are just a haters.
@@mulfand7762 yes totally, the ones who wants to cancel newjeans probably love billie eilish when she debuted, double moral
saw people spreading misinfo on twitter that the maknae was born in 2014 aka 8 year old 💀💀
Classy has been talked about for so long, especially when that show was still going on. It's just that people didn't care and still stanned them. Same thing with IVE.

I looooove their sound!! They are just a breath of fresh air
i have the same feelings/explanations as you. you described how the “looking for attention” is perfectly to me. they reminded me of twice a little bit. they are very pretty and go well together.
Newjeans are doing really really great one of the best debut gg in 2022. All songs are amazing just give us the new kind of kpop sounds.
I love newjeans its all so refreshing and they have beautiful visuals
FINALLY!!!! I was waiting your reaction!!! Thxs soooooooo much!!!!
Hiiiiiii i'm from brazil and i love your reacts, i was really looking forward to newjeans's reacts, i love your channel.
I absolutely love this concept, and as a minor myself I can see why this debut can raise questions because of their age and the way the general public will view them as young girls. The industry loves showing off new and young talent which is a great thing but its good to keep in mind what are some of the red flags their label/company and rub off on them in a negative way. Im glad people took the time and notice how 'Cookie' and its lyrics are a bit concerning. I hope hybe changes some of these things for their future comebacks that fit their age.
Hearing you speak Vietnamese was so cool ! I don't know the language but you seem to be a bit more fluent than you think ❣️
Finally !!!! I was waiting for your reaction of NewJeans !!!! And thank youuuuuuuu
Waiting for this. Love your reactions
My friend showed me New Jeans since I told her I dont like many kpop songs, and I got hooked . SHowed my sister, and she likes them as well. She also mentioned the girls / MVs reminds her of f(x) with the vibe of S.E.S and Fin.k.l. Very nostalgic
I love your Vietnamese pronunciation🙆♂️. It was cute 🤗. I could hear and understand it clearly. I feel so proud that someone who debuted in Kpop was Vietnamese ( I’m Vietnamese too). 🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳
LET’s go with HANNI and NEW JEANS 🎉🎉🎉
( So sorry because my English’s not good) ❤️
Finally you upload reaction about them😊
omg i love your video so much ❤️❤️❤️
tbh, i actually waited for the girls' explanation regarding cookie. apparently, cookie in korea is (or maybe was) used as a metaphor for cd. for instance, baking cookie = making a new cd. i believe that's what they are really trying to communicate. to further support this, we saw their cds rolling around in the background, along with the cookies. from there, i got the sense that they want us to like have a taste of their work as mucisians/artists? i don't know. i am also still wrapping my head around this. but i really really enjoyed your reactions! thank you so much! 🤗🤍
So the lyrics only get weird when it's translated into English since people who speak English use a lot of metaphors in the songs to refer to sex, the Koreans themselves found the lyrics cute
The girls already explained the meanof Cookie on their social media. Cookie=CD (the album)
@@lc-78 i actually have the same sentiments. :> i was actually worried at first since i wasn't knowledgeable abt their language (esp the metaphors they use), but then when i tried to listen to the girls' interpretation of the song, i must say that i did make sense. that's why i chose to believe them. tho i still get why some people are mad. its rlly because of the varying interpretations on the song. but i hope the fans and critics would to be knowledgeable abt it as well! :>
@@mulfand7762 yes! i decided to side wt their explanation as well! after all, it is their work. hehe
people are just dirty minded and loves to sexualize everything.
I like the fact that Her smile just slowy fading upon cookie MV reaction. U know there will something to talk when u see that facial expression.
Yeesss finally. NEWJEANS IS A VIBE GIRLSS
I really love your reaction and sincere opinions. 😁
I'm 30, so I totally get you about young love 😂
My earliest awareness of puppy love is when I was 16-17 maybe. I did have make up though, the eyeliners 😂
The problem with Cookie is that the creator is obviously English speaking. They bought the song in English. That's why I could not let go of the innuendos
personally i really like them as a group and i think they're really talented at such a young age i'm lovin' their vibes nd maybe i would stan them not sure tho
The sisterhood of the travelling pants! Yes I absolutely love that movie and the attention video is giving those vibes!!
They are musicly satisfying for me. It's simple and good to listen to just like you said. It's fun to watch their video again and again and discover the details. Also love the storyline. Each video have different ending and give different message about relationship. It's interesting for me. Each member is the heroine, has their own story with the same song yet still feels fresh. Easy to understand lyrics and it's relateable. Totally a breath of fresh air for me 💙💙💙
Wait, how did I not know you were half Vietnamese?! So cool! Love supporting my fellow Asian creators ❤️ As always, I enjoyed your reaction 😊
just something about the "controversy" around them: actual korean speakers cleared it up saying there's literally nothing "weird" with the lyrics of cookie. the girls' fanbase is mostly female AND very young based on the statistics we have so far. it's just another situation of people on stan twitter creating issues the moment a group starts going viral. (and yes they went viral because of their songs and the controversy started as soon as people saw them charting really high)
They have bunch of old boys fans tho look at their fansign
@@willa9880 Korean netizens said there were 2 men, 48 women.
@@willa9880 you are not even there in their fansign lol
@rey (shutupdude) it’s actually not. u just don’t speak korean
Korean netizens are seeing what the english parts mean and putting the Korean lyrics together now realize the song is dirty
thanks for this 😍
Respect to you for putting yourself out there and sharing your thoughts publicly. I listened to the song when it first came out and I was shocked at the lyrics. Knowing that Cookie = CD makes it more understandable why some Korean listeners don't see an issue, but the lyrics are still sus to me and keep me from totally getting into the song and the intentions for this group. I agree that it's better to err on the side of caution and to be overprotective than to keep silent. And I also liked how you brought up the question of what our responsibility as fans are in what we decide to consume.
Attention is pretty but a bit too repetitive for me, yet I still listen to it lol. Hype Boy my personal fav by far! The vibes are dope!! Hurt is such a feels song filled with confidence in vulnerable state, what I get from the song. Cookie is cute, kinda showcasing the flirty side of these gals - purdy.
the funny thing is that the mvs dropped unexpectedly, and then the album was released shortly after. i think this was a strategy to showcase the group before they sold the album, it worked tho bcs newjeans' ep broke the record first day pre-order records.
not only r they doing good in physical sales, but also digitally. just earlier, attention surpassed its 140th hour rak (real-time-all-kill) on kr music platforms.
ive been waiting!!
Finally iver been waiting for you to react to newjeans
For someone who's been high, I get what you mean and you are right hahaha! Them holding the "Attentiooooooon" part makes you feel as if you're in a trance.
Hanni is pure Vietnamese, Her father from Hanoi, mother from Saigon
i think i also saw a korean person explain on tiktok that in korea before, there was this popular slang 'baking cookie' which referred to CDs, hence maybe the meaning behind cookie. the members also explained the meanings of their songs on their instagram acc.
the fact that i didn’t get most of the storylines (hypeboy) at first watch too because im too immersed in the music still cracks me up now
