The Kulture Study: YENA 'SMILEY (ft. BIBI)' MV REACTION & REVIEW

[@valeryfil7469]

I was wondering how they gonna include BIBI (who has completely different vibe and style) into Yena's mv. But they did amazingly. Making BIBI a villain was genius idea

[@pippopino6948]

Agree with you, tho my favorite among her featuring is the One in jyp fever, too bad She wasnt in the MV 😅

[@lunarialoonatic]

I loved it so much! For me it’s one of the best kpop collabs

[@valeryfil7469]

@@pippopino6948 You're right. I love her part there it fits perfectly. But my favorite featuring of her would probably be "Is this bad b**** number?" with Soyeon and Lee Young Ji. I don't even know should it be considered featuring or just the trio song, how good they all fit there

[@valeryfil7469]

@@lunarialoonatic I feel like the best collabs are the ones no one expected 😅 Tell me month ago that this will happen, I wouldn't believe you. And now I'm listening to one of the best collaborations)

[@lunarialoonatic]

@@valeryfil7469 same! Honestly because of this song I even got into Bibi. Love her style and tone

[@Red-xu2sm]

One of the reasons you might have felt why this felt so "Yena" - they released a video a few days ago about a bit of making of this song and the concept was her idea, the whole smile the pain away thing, she also wrote lyrics and even gave directions on how she wanted some scenes in the MV to look. Truly an Ace.

[@pandalover1238]

THIS NEEDS TO BE PINNED

[@LeraEluna]

Thats so cool i'm proud of her 🥺💕

[@harrymu148]

Yena really resonated through the screen. I did cry on the spot because of how true it was too.

[@cynchriss]

ill never forget when yena said on pd48 that what makes her the happiest is making others smile :(

[@Strwbrychaee]

The people who don’t vibe with it are saying it’s too much like Disney channel. Maybe that’s why i love it. It’s so nostalgic and makes me happy and warm like Disney and their songs did

[@hendri5159]

yeah same me too.. This make me feel nostalgic and make me more energetic

[@aerithofmyore]

@Nghiep Tranchan it's the same genre - pop/punk rock. I dig it so much also the track lxxk 2 u is literal emo punk. Her debut album is amazing it's like seeing 2000s avril lavigne

[@Hihi-yc9os]

@Nghiep Tranchan same!!! Once i listened it, it gv me hannah montana feel. AND I LIKE IT

[@noahtaeyong]

I get the disney star/pop, rock vibe from this song but I feel like Yena’s voice is too soft, her voice doesn’t really fill up this song. It might be because the production of the song and not really about her voice but idk

[@クレア-p3c]

This reminded me of Kirarin Revolution :')

[@reggiebell7291]

The song honestly made me tear up. Always needing to put up a facade amongst the sadness of the world, but realizing that by embracing and understanding the sadness you can truly get to happiness and finally smile.

[@vigo823]

Aghhh same it makes me so emotional

[@livcrossing]

me too!! i got chills when i was watching the mv, this whole song just embodies her

[@joseayala1499]

sameee, I liked the song when I first listened to it, cuz it was happy and I liked the vibe, but when watched with subs I started tearing up so much, it hits way too close to home

[@jinjinjinrou]

indeed. It's okay to cry a lot and then you smile after that.

[@irfanmelambung1337]

If you know, BIBI was not only like partner in work for Yena, but she is her bestfriend since they are in the same variety show called "Girls Highschool Mystery Club". So Yena was worked and found ideas together with BIBI. Even I heard from her showcase yesterday, the title 'SMILEY' was coming from BIBI's word when she listened to the sample of the song. Anyway I REALLY LOVE YENA AND I REALLY LOVE 'SMILEY'. Man I hope you will react to her stage performance and the album. Thankyouu PD

[@onodakun456]

that variety show got me so immersed into it. why is it so fun?? lol

[@edvaedan9161]

Thanks for the info

[@Ash081284]

There's a whole psychology and some other deep stuff involved in this MV, especially on things like acceptance... accepting that we all feel and go through a lot of stuff, good, bad, or maybe our positive or negative traits... but in the end, it's still us and what we can do is to accept that it is a part of us, but despite everything, we can still choose joy in the midst of struggles (as shown when Yena falls down. And then saying, "I don't care, I don't care what people say, I only have one life so I'll smile... even if it's lonely and dark..." Despite her being the Smiley Hero that helps others and puts a smile on their face, she can still get tired and struggle, feel lonely and sad. She also gets her strength from people around her, that are supporting her and loves her. Also very much Yena as she always says she prefers being around people than being alone. One thing that reminds me is a saying that says, "usually, the person that always makes people happy are also the loneliest as well.") By the way, if you didn't notice, the "Shady" guy dancing in front of the monitors is the same kid Yena helped catching the balloon at the beginning of the video. There was a time skip, as detailed by the words on the screen, "Where is Yena?" so it means there was a time that she was gone, so there was a lack of happiness, as signified by the snow storm as well. Then the guy was revealed as the kid when he passed the mic to Yena and also winked, thus returning the favor of kindness. Anyway, you'll get what I mean more after you listen to the whole album. It's like Yena's showing 2 sides of herself. That's why it's perfect that she chose LxxK 2 U as the B-side to promote along with SMILEY... 2 opposite sides of the same person. Happy and unhappy (personified by Bibi here in the MV, the Frowning Villain, but Yena continues it in "LxxK 2 U" as the angry bitter girl, as well as the cautious girl in "Pretty Boy". Freaking cool songs, btw. Yena's raspy vocals there, especially during the slight rap parts, my ghadniss) Then encouraging us all that if everything gets tough and tiring, we can take a Vacay... vacation ^_^ Putting "Before Anyone Else" as Track 1 is also kinda perfect, as it is a love song for IZ*ONE, WIzones and Yena's fans, Jigumi. Of course we're gonna cry, and then Smiley comes ^_^ I can truly say that Yena really did put a lot of thought in this album... the whole concept, story, the message behind those songs, everything :) And for all those that hate this album or the song or Yena, just go listen and check the lyrics of "LxxK 2 U" instead. It's perfect for you XD Well, that's just my take on this. That's all for my lil pep talk... haha ^_^ PS: Choose joy in the midst of trials. Smile To whoever is reading this, hope you have a nice day! ^_^

[@kngaman9]

IZ*ONE's discography is insane compared to this, I personally don't like this or any of the solo debuts from the former IZ*ONE members

[@o.ot.t_5076]

La Vie En Rose and Panorama are the best songs from them which you should not miss. I recommend you these 2.

[@mawvy]

i wasn't an izone fan too but i find all post-disbandment redebuts really good so far !! i recommend u to check other members' releases too

[@kairos-049]

Yuehua's A&R are insane. They are so good at developing concepts and styles that fit their idols perfectly, and I think the fact that this debut song is wholly and singularly Yena and wouldn't work for anybody but her speaks to how brilliant they are. With Everglow, it's already impressive that they can keep switching concepts and always maintain that Everglow identity, but Yena's style is a complete 180 from that and they still nailed it. Also YueHua's budget and video production show in this video and I'm so glad that they're doing Yena justice.

[@ichigomiruku8737]

my theory: while the little boy grew up, yena became weak and went missing. because of the villain’s evil deeds. he was in that computer room/did a job where he was looking for her all these years. yena knew he could help her, that’s why she was near, seeking his help. he finally finds her. him turning back into a kid was to remind her of who he was (and also, child = innocence, happiness). this MV is a whole ass anime story 😭

[@hawaiianpunch06]

I really do love how these IZ*ONE member redebuts have fit them so well and have been so successful so far. As fantastical as this superhero theme is I love how natural it feels. Yena doesn't look like she's acting. She's really feeling it. Also, Bibi, feature of the decade. Anything she's on she kills and just from the credits sequence at the end I think she must have the most expressive face in Kpop. I kinda want there to be a thread of Bibi's villain character showing up in all of Yena's MVs from here on out.

[@이현승-k5w]

"This song really suits Yena." Yes, trully.

[@rainbowgirl949494]

this song starts as a typical kpop song then BOOM it sounds like those pop-rock songs that was in trend when I was a teen. avril, disney, everyone used that style & it’s really to easy to like. I feel nostalgic. but it also is very fresh & sooo yena! I’m surprised by how her soft vocals fit this style too! she’s in her element! also bibi didn’t overshadowed her & her part fit very well like the whole song was so well made pls can this style comeback like retro did😩

[@avatargrimes]

What elevates this song for me is how it’s very much in line with who Yena is. Her fun, quirky, weird and happy personality definitely reflects that in this song and music video. Yena was also what got me hooked on PD48 and iZ*One, so to see what I love about Yena be showcased in her solo debut really holds a special place in my heart.

[@Quarksi]

I wasn't a wizone just casually kept up with their title track and a few b-sides, on top of that my bias was Chaewon and I knew nothing about Yena. That said even I could tell this solo PERFECTLY suited her, she shined so brightly and everything felt so right in this debut. The song is made especially well too, flawless composing even. Yuri and Hyewon's solos are my favorites because they're more my style, but Yena's is definitely the most impactful and polished.

[@forevrglowz9138]

i was sure this was gonna be a bop as yena is from everglow’s company so the production is top notch 👌🏻

[@edvaedan9161]

That explains why the B sides are so good too. They do a great job with everything kind of like Dreamcatcher company

[@Djitterbug]

@@edvaedan9161 I mean I think Dreamcatcher's production is just down to Leez and Ollounder being damn geniuses XD. I see them fully as the 8th and 9th members of Dreamcatcher especially since the members are actually friends with them and they work together on some songs.

[@edvaedan9161]

@@Djitterbug that accounts for the songs but there is a lot more to it. Their videos, stages, choreographies, photo shoots, and planning are all top notch.

[@Djitterbug]

@@edvaedan9161 oh yeah I agree, I was thinking on the side of song production since you mentioned b sides lol. I'm not saying I don't think the rest of the team is important btw, I just like that Dreamcatcher's sound comes essentially from just two people. It makes the song listening experience more personal and intimate for me than if I'm listening to an album composed by tons of random producers.

[@TomsMusicCorner]

Yena is the complete package. This is the best debut of a former IZ*ONE member so far, and not just with one or two songs, but with a complete album she contributed to. SMiLEY is her work, her brand, she IS SMiLEY. The pure happiness! I had tears of happiness in my eyes when this was released. Please chek out her other songs too. They are sooooo good.

[@jeps007]

I couldn't have thought of a beter debut song to embody everything that Yena is

[@캡틴아무말]

Interestingly, BIBI and YENA's lyrics contrast emotionally, but do not deny each other's message.

[@ouams57]

Been a kpop fan since 2012. Have seen a lot of groups and girls come and go. But Yena is in my top 3 all time favorites. Super talented (singing, rapping, dancing, entertainment), super likeable as a person, dope personality, a sob backstory. Very happy and proud about this debut!

[@onodakun456]

I hope you can watch girls' high school mystery class, it's super fun yena and bibi met there and bibi wrote the lyrics which literally the real story of bibi and yena's meeting

[@aduidui1581]

It gives Avril Lavigne vibe to me, supporting PD's statement that yena's song is timeless because avril's songs are timeless as well 😁

[@aeri3930]

you're right about the saturday morning cartoons vibes. smiley gives off that early 2010s modernized sound with a winx club, totally spies and obviously sailor moon influence in terms of concept.

[@evieb8187]

A lot of artists fit their concepts, but this concept is just entirely her. She says she’s her happiest when she’s making other people smile. When you have that context it’s just so heartfelt. I the song it’s just her, it is truly an entirely her.

[@Caughtbyminji]

[@kelialollos1666]

I’m not an iz*one stan but I’m familiar with yena through the mafia prison show. And the music video is perfect for her personality, and it makes you smile from the start. And the duckling was so cute, because it resembles her.

[@Hrathen39]

I teared up... This song hits. The childishness of this song wasn't cringe and instead was really nostalgic and feel good. Like those inspirational superhero shows you watched as a child

Yena definitely made me smile with this, absolutely love it! and the rest of the album is great as well

[@afternoontaee]

i know two izone songs, i know very little about yena. i checked this out bc of BIBI. but i cried at the end. there's something about her that brought a tear to my eye. every word she sang felt like she really really meant it. i love this song so much

[@castellamanda23]

As someone who hasn't really gotten into Iz*one and doesn't really know any of the members or their personalities, I can say that this debut is absolutely incredible!! I've always liked bright and fun concepts, so as soon as I saw the teaser I knew I was going to love this. Also the Bibi feature and the whole concept is absolutely incredible!

[@luvvvv124]

I never was into izone but I love seeing solo songs from groups. So I was pretty pumped for her song I ended up pretty teary eyed by the end, I don’t know about yena too much but from what I’ve seen she’s a fun bubbly girl and I’ve always aspired to be someone like that and while watching I was fueled with happiness. I can’t wait to listen to the bsides as well !!!

[@SylLikesBoys]

I do think it's interesting how you see Yena as a rapper/talk-singer, considering that she -at least used to- see herself as a vocalist! I remember when they were preparing La Vie En Rose, Yena said that she wasn't confident in her lines because she wasn't a rapper! So the fact that not only did she pull it off, but she also pulls off this concept so well just really helps highlight her versatility!

[@elc9789]

I’ll give you an unbiased opinion, when my friend showed this song to me (only the audio and nothing else) I had the idea in mind that it was a new group I had no idea who was singing but I’ll let you know... this song almost became my favorite song this year so far, only afterwards when I became obsessed with the song asking my friend to play it over and over again that I wanted to know what the song was called and who it was by, I literally had no idea LOL

i agree this song is sounds like choi yena it really suits her this concept the idea was so good specially when u know her personality

[@kvlqqna]

to begin with, i will say: i have always loved yena very much, she was my bias in izone. i was in a difficult psychological situation for 1,5 years and my mind was really destroyed. i almost all 1,5 years was in a depressed, HORRIBLE state. and in january 2022, finally, I'M DONE WITH THAT situation. ofc, i may still feel less than perfect, i don't feel really great happiness, i'm just starting to get into it. and yena's debut... ok, i'll start by that i'm listening to this song 158 times in 4 days and will continue to do so. it's just an EXPLOSION. emotions, lyrics, BIBI, mv... that's what i need. this is exactly what I need at this time. and gosh, even without that it's GREAT. really great. and this line like i'm leaving WITH MY SMILEY FACE... THIS IS ALREADY IN MY HEART I WILL GO WITH EVERYTHING WITH MY SMILEY FACE... amazing. thank you choi yena for saving the universe (again)

[@Meldonator]

Bomi can be proud of having inspired a cute girl at being a happy virus :) of course, Yena isn't the best voice of the industry so we can't expect a vocal queen performance but the energy of the song is really well carried by the character and we don't need more. A really really good debut! (and man Yena in every show does a perfect job, can't wait seeing her interacting with Apink one day :3 )

[@CRAYONweiwen]

This debut is amazing and the song really make me smiling all the time. I remember PD's suggestion in LIGHTSUM's Vivace about the last chorus after the bridge, this song does all the suggest you gave, low down instrument and come with high note. About the story in MV, I saw someone's comment that quite interesting, I copy it here for you (On the story is that Bibi is like the inner dark side of a person, and she asked in her last line, "can we be friends?", so it's like asking can both our good and bad sides be one? It's like accepting all our sides as one, accepting that we may cry, be sad, but at the same time, or at the end, we'll still smile and be happy. Bibi's ending is actually the post credits scene. If you'll notice Bibi's trademark on her face, it was a frown when she first showed up, but during the credits scene, it was now a smiley face. So maybe "they're friends" now. Acceptance and all that. :) Credit to Jaz

[@heyitsmira17]

As someone who isn't that familiar with IZONE, or even Yena (my friend was a huge fan of the group and mentioned she was debuting as soloist, so I went to check it out), I actually felt that I perfectly understood who she is by the video alone. Being honest, happy/fresh concepts are hard to do. You can make a serious/cold face easily, whereas smiling in a natural way is very hard unless it's common to you. I felt like she really wanted to make people smile and was VERY charismatic, almost felt like a mahou shoujo character, usually the friend that helps bring everyone's mood up. So knowing now that she's like this irl made me like the song even more :) Also, SAME REACTION to BIBI's part. I fell in love with the concept right then and there.

[@sociallyineptclownprincech8731]

I was very peripherally into IzOne so I never really knew the members but this song to me felt like a deep connection to the artists.

[@WingsForDreams]

What an excellent point about the Younha vibes, circa early 2010s! I was trying to figure out what this pop rock vibe reminded me of, and for me it was IU's "있잖아 (Rock Ver.)" from that time too! I'm glad I caught a taste of this on social media, because I don't really pay attention to the competition project groups like IZ*ONE or I.O.I , so I had no idea who Yena was. But this was SO refreshing. Soloists are really killing this first month of 2022!

[@deeveena2485]

I think that might be my disconnect is just not totally understanding the whole history of Yena and IZONE. But upon my first listen the vibe and musically it reminded me of HSM/CAMP ROCK or that Disney Teen Movie kind of song. Not necessarily a bad thing, but I think that's what I was reminded of when I first listened to this. But I think adding BIBI added the much needed weight that took it above that Disney musical vibe.

She's very not your traditional Kpop idol (in terms of personality, she's similar to yuqi in terms of comedy), she's also known to be a happy virus, which is why this song is so representative of her. Her goal has always been to make the people around her happy/spread happiness, because she was surrounded by a lot of tough times when she was a child. (She was diagnosed with cancer at a young age even the hospital told her family to give up at one point bc of how bad it was, and her parents had to sell kimbap every day to pay for her medical bills but she was eventually cured completely hence her goal.)

Nah, I came upon the live performance of this song, not being really familiar with iz*one (I mean they're everything, but I've never put the faces to the names), so I didn't know she was from the group, but her charisma was just so captivating, you can just feel that she's pulling this concept off because it's so natural to her. Like, I didn't expect this, but I'm living, this is such a bop

I honestly just watched this music video for BIBI I didnt know Yena. But shit I left a big fan of this song 🤣🤣

[@vambranzukizumofu223]

Watching you realise that it was the kid made me think that the kid was locked up in his sadness then he looked for his smiley and revived it reviving yena and we just smile away... Ye to the na lol

[@yeonieee1]

2:50 Same reaction PD. The MV, music and Yena literally makes me smile while watching this!!! Congrats on your solo debut, Yena!

[@piscessaga]

I wonder how many people catch the fact that bibi’s feature is about double what a standard featuring is… really shows their friendship lol. It’s impossible not to have a smile when listening to this song~~

[@minpd]

that MV was incredible, wow. I'm gonna go give it a view after finishing this video

[@moonyjuli]

i did listen to izone, but never had a close look at the members, the other members debuts I listened to and didn't really care, but this one oh boy.... its good, its REALLY GOOD I'm amazed! i did expected something good because I'm a big bibi bullet and I know that bibi would never make a collab in a bad song, but this song might actually make me a yena stan, its been on repeat all day
