PENTAGON - Naughty boy(청개구리) Explained by a Korean

I will never look at frogs the same.....

I can’t, you’re not the same. I’m afraid we must *dramatic weep* never see each other again. 😭 (😂)

Hui such genius composer

[@teeho.7]

Ikr!

[@starcouniverse9411]

Edawn also composed the song and he’s credited first i think we should give the credits to Edawn also. Also he’s the main songwriter of Shine i think it just makes sense hes the main songwriter of this too

[@giwangdwikintan3503]

Edawn and flow bow also composed this song. Don't forget them

[@cacovi0124]

Yes :3

[@madamevastra8942]

We should praise the Flowbow Hui, Edawn combination. But Edawn is not first in credits for Producing the tracks but he is first credited in lyrics making which is why it has such a flavour. We should praise the other two rappers who added to the flavour and wittiness of the song. The credits is as follow; Composers; Flowbow, Hui, Edawn Lyrics: Edawn, Hui, Wooseok, Yuto Arranged: Flowbow

[@adrian4961]

You guys are actually really good at this explaining thing. As a non-korean, I'm learning a lot because of you guys. If it wasn't for this kind of videos, I'd listen to the song while completely ignoring what it's actually saying, so thanks bois

[@brunachrys]

Me too. I had no idea this song had such a deep meaning.

Brief explanation: Naughty boy is a Genius Song 👏👏👏🐸💚

The green frog story is so sad :(

[@faithmann.8616]

Can I just say... David that hand heart at 4:51 was so smooth!! Kpop idols are quaking!

[@MariGuriVT]

This whole explanation was so interesting and makes me appreciate this song even more T^T it’s even more creative and fun than I already thought it was! Thank you so much for this explanation!!!

[@Duck_Plays12]

I think the MV itself also relates to the Korean proverb, "개구리 올챙이 적 생각도 못 한다" or "A frog can't remember the time it was a tadpole," which means people who are already high up often forget how it is to be lowly and struggle. In the MV (and real life), Pentagon does the hard and dirty work so they will succeed but it's really hard because nobody notices them, just like people don't notice ordinary workers in everyday life. Thus, the phrase "The reason I kneeled was to get ready for a leap" makes a lot of sense in that they may be low now but they're going to keep doing their best to go higher.

[@amazingj1510]

Make sense. David only explained about the lyric, but the meaning behind the MV is still blurry to me.

[@vanessarl8]

Ugh so well explained! This and your other comment, I find this theme very interesting so thank you! 😊❤️

[@Waender]

OMG

[@astrophile4381]

Dirty work?

[@wildflowerarmyverse3816]

@@astrophile4381I meant in a sense that the work isn’t always glamorous and pretty, there’s a lot of physical and emotional lake that goes into how they work

[@julianac2143]

Omgg now it alll makes sense loll, I read the lyrics to this song and I was REALLY confused, I mean why they sang a song about a green frog 😂😂 now it all makes sense thank youu

[@qys4145]

juliana canuto same 😂😂

[@cosmicsky2734]

청개구리 means Tree frog, Green Frog but 청(cheong) also means Denim, Blue then, Wooseok said 청바지에 청재킷 걸친 개구리 = A frog with denim jeans and jacket.

i cried.. never thought that this song would have a deep meaning in it.. thank you pentagon... and thank you so much David! I wish everyone can watch this to understand the song before comment things like "childish song" or "song for kids listen only"

[@kitch-guy]

"Um-chiki Um-chiki" Robot sound is from the movie "Robocop". That is the sound when Robocop moves. More 20 years before, a famous comedian group in Korea imitated Robocop and made that sound. So even now it is used for robot sound. Just a trivia. Haha.

thank you for explaining the lyrics and mv, it makes me appreciate pentagon more, they are expressing their selves and us who are of the same age generation(?) of how older generation tries to control tye lives of the younger ones, which i relate to so much and am sure its not only me haha, but we change (some acts lol) for the people we love.

[@desolatioxn]

I still hope pentagon becomes big even though cube fucked up. I still stan them I think it's unfair how they kicked out edawn

[@terjir.]

Actually edawn decided to leave just to be his beloved

[@tiesiogieva6023]

I few days ago started watching this MV, in the middle of it decided that this song and MV is stupid. Well... joke is on me. I'm disappointed in me. It seems from now on i should first watch MV and songs explained on this channel and only then so watch MV.

I always love theories, explanation about somethings and this is cool realization. I like this kind of new concept/idea of you guys. keep it up po!

I didn't know it was this meaningful. Sadly, this didn't win in any music program. What a loss!!!! Let PENTAGON win for once.

Keep doing the explanation series it's really helpfull towards not korean People

[@TheBirdjam]

Than you so much for this! Pentagon are geniuses so I'm glad people can experience that through this video

[@snowyung9516]

Their voices are so distinct and beautiful. They have their own sound too so whenever you hear them sing you know it's pentagon even if you don't stan them.

[@moonlightxyz8728]

Wow bless you for this great explanation! Many of us i-fans are clowning at the song+MV as a joke(in a positive way). I heard some ppl in our fandom talked abt the meaning of the song too, but not that deep as you explained since we are not Koreans. Hopefully ppl can appreciate their songs more. It's a song that not just for the sake of entertainment, but also can relate to our daily life. Thank you for this video!

[@craesam897]

Wow I didn’t know this song carried such a deep meaning! Thanks for sharing. Yet another reason to stan Pentagon!

[@mysticblue8531]

The main reaso why I never stop stanning them since they started. They always create songs far beyond ordinary minds. I really like how they create music in their own through their inspirations and life experiences.💙

WOAH, I initially just enjoyed this song bec of the music and choreo but I didn't know the complexity of the lyrics which used several literary devices. Genius writing!

[@asdfghjkbybionikiim]

i saw somebosy requesting this song on your sunmi's vid so i resisted listening to the song until you did it and im really glad i did! i wasnt really familiar with pentagon but after this video im certainly going to watch all of their mvs!! i really like the meaning of the songs and all the hidden meanings behind them in which if i just read the literal translation of the song i would not understand most of it. the first line already got me very hooked it was a cute and very fun lyrics. thank you david for the exposure! and also, im new to pentagon mind showing me some guide on what should i start? :)

[@lmf221]

Please do check out this MV and all of their others. In addition to being amazing vocalists they also compose all of their music and are pretty prolific. In just 2 years they have released 60 songs! My favorites are Shine (which is arguably the song of the year) and their last two comebacks have been Runaway and Like this respectively. Different vibes from them but amazing.

[@asdfghjkbybionikiim]

Lauren F oh really i didnt know they composed their songs! ive heard shine before and now i really need to go and watch the rest of their songs. thanks!

[@TK-tc1gn]

If you do check out their music you’ll see that their sound has changed a lot in just two years. The older songs like Can You Feel It and Gorilla aren’t as boppy as their new songs like Shine and Naughty Boy, however all their songs are bops ;)

It's great that you're interested in Pentagon!! If you want to know more about them you can watch Pentagon Maker (this show was basically how Pentagon was formed) it has a lot of funny content and some special stages. It was kinda like a survival show but they ended up debuting as 10 which is great.

[@iwantyoubaek878]

It seems so ironic to me that Pentagon are singing about wanting to change themselves for their loved one, but Bts in Fake love say that becoming another person for your love is self-destructing. Also that frog in the well reference coming up again??? This needs some explanation

[@amymorgan9273]

I thought so too, but I came to the conclusion that all these songs can represent stages of the relationship. Naughty Boy, to me, represents the naive beginning of a relationship, thinking they can change and bury themselves and still be happy, while Fake Love represents harsh truth that that's not a good thing to do.

[@lilacpanther]

I guess it all comes down to what you think of yourself, if your willing or unwilling to change yourself for the one you love. "Wanting to change yourself for loved ones" versus "becoming another person is self destructing". It all depends on the person

[@Duck_Plays12]

Hi! I hope it's ok to jump in. I think another way of looking at Fake Love, is that changing for love is not the problem, the problem is not loving yourself first. Remember, in I'm Fine, they say "Even if someday, I'm not me anymore, it's alright. Only I am my own salvation." Notice that in FL, it was always "I was this for you, I did that for you," not "You did this to me." So BTS is saying, love and know yourself first before you can start loving someone else. In Naughty Boy's case, they know who they are. You can even say they love being who they are, they're cocky about it. They're "naughty," they are rebels, and they know they're far from perfect. But, they also acknowledge how a person has improved them or driven them to change bad habits. That person could be a lover but could also be one's friend/s. Remember that we don't live by ourselves, we are social beings. Re: Frog in the well, the legend is that the frog thought the well was such a great place to live in because that was all they knew. So when BTS said they hoped the frogs would die in the well, they were talking about haters. It's different in Naughty Boy's case, because they're talking about themselves. Again, there's a sense of self-awareness in that, they know they "live in a well" (as rookies) but if they're gonna stay there, they might as well make it as deep as an ocean so they can live happily with their loved ones. So, in this case, it's just a difference in perspective and in how they used the metaphor, considering that these two groups have walked and are walking different paths. (Sorry it got long, this explanation video and comments were so excellent that it got me thinking. Thank you, @dkdktv!!)

[@actualtrash2546]

I think this song is about change as in becoming a better person though, not changing personality
