[@TakeHakid]

@@annanowak9620 It might sound like hypocrisy coming from people who got ps, but if we think about it, don't they actually have even more to say about it because they got ps? They are in a industry that pressures or even forces people to change themselves telling them that they are not good enough, and because they went through it they know How damaging it is. It's fine to get surgery to make one feel better about themselves, but I think what they are criticizing specifically is doing it only because you don't fit standards that keep changing and are impossible to achieve

Yeah, that what I got from it too. Like she doesn’t care about it anymore

[@Jneedstostopobssessing]

I think that is really important - she puts the phone away, smiles, and walks off. I would also add though that this is Soyeon writing from her own experience. She makes it clear at the end of the video that she has felt all these things - we know the criticism she received for her looks when she began her career. I think she is also saying "this is what I achieved by being confident in who I am"

[@rosiii9]

that's what I got too, the comments/likes just made her realize it's all about being confident in yourself

[@borisrazor2999]

[@sindieltaylor2147]

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.

[@aroset]

I actually interpreted the set of girls as the cards they represent- I.e.: Soyeon's different personalities fighting inside of her. Minnie is the Queen of Diamonds- The celebrity and fame and beauty that Soyeon wants, Yuqi and Shuhua are Spade and Clubs- who Soyeon thinks she is - and Miyeon the Queen of Hearts- self accepting Soyeon. This is why Miyeon is the last one Soyeon sees at the end of the music video, because Mieyon *gets through*. She's the last one in, while the paper plane doesn't make it. Miyeon is not jealous, she doesn't want to be Minnie. The lyrics indicate that Miyeon goes over to Minnie to hug her and tell her she accepts and cares about her. Visually it's a bit off because Miyeon is not a great hugger. But Mieyon watches from the sides. It's Mieyon, the Queen of Hearts, who finally gets through in the end.

[@aroset]

Also represented by the dance sequence- Soyeon/who she thinks she is vs Soyeon/two different paths she can take- the Diamond or the Heart. In the end she takes the heart.

[@sindieltaylor2147]

@@aroset You can see the same guy breaking up with Miyeon over text in the story and then getting with Minnie after.

[@aroset]

@@sindieltaylor2147 Yeah I agree, but *internally* that is not who Mieyon represents. Narratively it doesn't make sense through the rest of the video for Mieyon to be jealous. At the time Mieyon is singing, she's singing to Minnie how unique and special she is and should be celebrated for it. Another eg, Mieyon does the over the shoulder in the mirror look before transforming into Soyeon. My interpretation of that is from how often it's done in their past videos, and iirc it's used as a way for them to convey a sense of "self love". Why would Mieyon, aside from lyrically, be the last one to be seen before Soyeon passes out? The sweetness and invtation of her asking if Soyeon wants to be the Queen of Hearts, then waking up, makes sense to me. Aside from an awkward looking hug, and again I think that's just Miyeon, her actions through the video show me a caring, kind woman trying to show love. In fact the very opposite to what she is in the real world. If you have other theories I'm all up for them! Just my interpretation.

[@stinky8739]

that makes so much sense!! i think minnie isn't exactly at the top though, because in the first scene of allergy it's implied that she feels lonely. maybe that's why she goes and gets a bf in the first place.

[@ddomcy]

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"

[@annejia5382]

she doesn't even care about the lines cause she doesn't have to, and people kept on criticizing her for the lack of lines of other members. she's very open to her members on what'll fit them in their songs and people are coming up with nonsense theories. she's getting the bag for the masters and her members know that fully. plus her rap is part of gidle's brand. i love other members more than soyeon but that wouldn't stop me from defending her against fans who make up stuff even though the members have great relationship with each other. 😂❤🤦‍♀️

[@meltedyogurt]

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.

[@micky2594]

Yeah that's exactly it. She went out and said eff it and was herself and posted even though she wasn't 'anybody' and those girls who was idolizing noticed her. So while Soyeon was convinced she could never have that confidence or be the type of girl other people looked up to she actually got all of that by staying true to who she is because the girls she idolized at the end of the way were just other girls and social media isn't everything. Just like we see Miyeon, super jealous and depressed Minnie gets the guy get over herself and she makes friends with her anyway and then she's happier for realizing it's the friends that matter not having the perfect photo for online.

[@lunarialoonatic]

I always thought Queencard was satire even Soyeon said not to take it too seriously. It’s obvious she’s not actually telling us to twerk on the runaway, it’s about what these popular people say to themselves

[@Aru_J_Sol]

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.

[@sippingteaemoji]

@@dilanhos2499 ayo same, and I thought the queen card was actually the surgery option because is that kinda behaviour popular rich spoiled bullies have lol.

Allergy had better message then Queencard. Only the music video of Queencard has a message of you listen to just song lyrics it is just random words.

[@thundercloudss]

@@vixxexo6855Random words? The lyrics are mean to be goofy and taken lightly, but that doesn't make it nonsense. I personally dont like the second verse of Yuqi but the lyrics made sense, its just being who you are, feeling yourself, because a confident person is a queencard already.

[@anclarax_1926]

​@@vixxexo6855 queencard it's about being confident without comparing yourself, going out and partying without caring allergy it has a message more of insecurity, it shows that everyone, no matter how "perfect" they seem on social media, is never perfect in real life that's it, it's not that hard to interpret both songs

[@xcentrk1965]

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.

[@yelan1918C1hans]

I also take the end of queencard being as she's always received positive messages from her friends and social media, but never noticed them simply due to her low self confidence

[@machoman_13]

It’s quite the opposite. In queencard it’s Soyeon copying the stuff the other girls do

[@siyu898]

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

[@JordanOrme]

i love this! i just don't know that the filmmakers explained this very well

[@Yutasy]

​@@JordanOrme she actually did go to the party, she was there but they didn't notice her because she wasn't confidence enough until she got out from the hospital then they approched her, and queencard MV was a dream version of the party that was the day before

[@Darfaultner]

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.

[@paox8084]

[@EstefanixRox]

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.

[@Tsiyou]

That's so awesome.. Gotta love that

[@Kylo27]

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.

[@aridolores]

i think the end actually is so sweet, like we all know that having real interactions in the real world feels more authentic, but it's not like we can ignore the influence and incorporation of the digital world - especially social media. i think the point here is how people use social media in the end to support and empower each other, since sometimes it gets overwhelming and discouraging with all the hate and negativity we see and experience online. also, franklin is soooo cute!!! aaaaaa

[@panman4459]

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.

[@hARded2000]

I rewatched the Queencard video and noticed something at the end. See, Soyeon has all these encouraging messages of praise on her phone... then she turns it off and goes on with her day. So she decides that caring about what she looks like and what others think of it doesn't really matter at all. She decides to feel not beauty, but life.

[@matthewhocking3575]

One other little thing that tips off that it's a dream sequence and that Soyeon is still asleep in the hospital is Miyeon's closet when she goes to get her robe. It's full of hospital scrubs and the same surgical gowns that Soyeon is wearing instead of the cute influencer clothes that Miyeon is wearing throughout the videos. I thought that was a nice touch.

[@Kpopnonstop-808]

I think the validation from social media was supposed to represent that once you decide to love yourself as you are, then other people will too 💞

[@davidk6269]

At the end Queencard, Soyeon snapped shut her cell phone, cutting off all of the social media praise for her, which clearly indicates to me that she did indeed have the epiphany that the shallow validation of others is not what she truly needs to be the best and happiest version of herself.

[@kirampd4545]

3:17 okay so far no reactor has got what this scene is implying lol Yuqi and Shuhua drag SY to sit with the kids because it's implied that he bra size is so small she needs to shop in the kids section. It ties into the earlier scenes of he stuffing her bra and the scenes of SY picking the black bra but Yuqi taking it away and giving her the plain white one. SY's chest is one of her insecurities. 15:15 I think this scene where Minnie jumps into the swimming pool and everyone gets splashed is a reference to the movie Shallow Hal.

[@asinicw9906]

As a 22 year old who's still being told to go check the kids section, I immediately understood 3:17

[@jrunjew6604]

i think in allergy it was about soyeon wanting to be the it girl like minnie, but in queencard it’s revealed that she’s already receiving a lot of likes, just like minnie. i feel like it’s trying to show that even when we seem to have what we want or what others want, we will always still think someone else has it better. also the way the people are walking around her even while she’s receiving lots of likes shows how superficial likes are- they don’t reflect what your real life is like

[@anavitoriafarion2621]

I think the album had the potential to actually make it to more episodes, and honestly I was kind of expecting from the teasers that each song would be showing one of the girls perspective in an unique mv (After all we have an introduction to Minnie being famous but lonely, to Miyeon being jealous of Minnie, list goes on...) , but I do understand it's not that easy to just make a bunch of mv's at once. At the end it does feels like something is missing in the story, but at the same time taking the 2000's comedy movie theme and the limited time they had to show their story I think they did an amazing job still.

[@alainpochon8699]

[@lovelyjack]

In my opinion the ending represents that insecurities are just in you mind and no one else will see them when you are confident in your skin hence the people walking by not caring . and the sudden fame in social media represents her dreams coming true to be popular because she was confident enough so now everyone she once looked up to admires her too

At one point the lyrics says "Wearing whatever girl Queen card Thin or thick girl queen card Full of confidence girl Queen card" I love these lyrics because they show how Soyeon ended up loving herself, and that all it took was self-acceptance because she was the one telling herself that (because she was dreaming). I think this is also part of why she "woke herself up", almost as if she was waking up from the idea that she isn't good enough. The likes and follows at the end also show that if you want others to accept you, you first have to love yourself, and unlike most scenes in the MV, checking social media seemed like a second thought, whereas the first was just going outside and enjoying herself Damn I feel like I just wrote a whole novel

I think the end of Queencard was pointing out that she was the one who waa unhappy with herself, it wasn't anyone online. SY kept searching for something she already had and getting surgery wasn't the answer. She's dreaming up this perfect version of herself who would be well liked and confident and admired, but she had that already. Idk how going into surgery helped her realize this, but the reality was that SY was already everything she wanted to be, she just had to see and believe it for herseld.

In Allergy Soyeon gets wrapped up in the fact that she isnt pretty and needs a plastic surgery to be loved. She overcomes this insecurity in Queencard.Even Miyeon faces similar issues with Minnie but they reunite in Queencard.

[@rubyaphrodite1488]

I think Allergy and Queencard is showing the cycle of life. Because we know in life that there are ups and downs, in allergy its where Soyeon is insecure and wants to have surgery, but then in Queencard she realizes she doesnt want the surgery to continue so she gets out of the hospital and loves her for her, but you can hear in the end of Queencard its similar to the start to Allergy, and just like in Allergy MV Soyeon was walking down the street. So i think Allergy and Queencard shows how we could go from insecure to confident and back to being insecure, and a cycle.

[@sisisworld]

Hey Jordan! this MV is amazing and are quite a few aways to interpret it: (of course there are more things to look at both MVs besides what I list below): 1 - Queencard/Queenbee is a mentality whose pillars are self esteem and confidence. But most of the women in this world don't get it. 2 - Since the begining Soyeon is the cool one, Minnie is the sex girl, and Miyeon is the popular one (but we will only discover that with Queencard MV), BUT none of them see themselves like this, they are not really happy with themselves and are trying to become another person (we see this in Allergy MV). 3 - Bring both MVs together we basically see the old saying that "the grass is greener on the other side" so we have Soyeon trying to be Minnie because she is pretty/sexy/hot, while Minnie wants to be Soyeon cause she is really cool, and we have Miyeon who wants to be sexy like Minnie and pretty/cool like Soyeon ('cause in Queencard and Allergy MVs shows that her ex have interest both in Minnie and Soyeon at the parties - notice that in queencard Minnie represents Soyeon.) 4 - In Bambam's show Minnie said "I'm the trainer" (in Quuencard). So she basically the sexy/hot famous trainer who is Soyeon/Miyeon's Muse. But she is not happy with her life (as we see in Allergy) 5 - On the side we have Yuqi/Shua like Miyeon's minnions and once they saw Soyeon they want to be more like her instead be like Miyeon. 6 - Finally we have Soyeon who at the end remembers like she is cool like hell and decided to be herself. And is finally comfortable in her own skin (like the last verse of the song: "A girl wearing whatever", "A girl who's thin or thick", "A girl full of confidence"). 7 - About the message at the end (the "I feel_______" part) is a message to remember women (and in fact any person no matter no matter the gender) about that we should love ourselves but there are days that we don't feel so great (blue/lonelly) and it ok, its normal. The "I feel you" can be interpreted in many ways and will hit different for each person: for me means the girls, even tho they are celebrities/artist, they understand us cause they also feel the same - the same pressure, the same insecurities, the same feelings. We can debate both MV for years to come cause it has a lot of critics about beauty standars, women empowerment, social media, influencers etc.

i. have. been. waiting. for. this. video. THANK YOU JORDAN

[@Izzyjnk]

I like that they added the kids using the phones. They are making the point that kids are now acting like they are older since that is all they see online instead of just being kids and playing with their friends and hanging out.

[@Death_by_Kim_Yoohyeon]

Soyeon writes : im a hater of instagram and hater of tik tok also Soyeon : I would rather film my tik tok 🤣 this woman istg❤

[@Yoko_143]

I believe with soyeon it’s about her being considered as “ugly” since if we look into irl before she even debuted she was always called the ugly idol and known as ugly she even said she knows she’s ugly (i think she’s beautiful )and it goes into how many people get plastic surgery (it’s literally considered a gift in Korea) and how in the end she didn’t go with the surgery and how she doesn’t need to be pretty and how she’s pretty the way she is and how people will like her for how she is and to like yourself the way your are and since she does she doesn’t go with the plastic surgery in the end she’s happy with the way she is

[@natbat1177]

You NEED to react to S-Class by Straykids, it’s absolutely amazing and there are so many cool transitions that really blew me away! The time and effort that was made into the music video is truly astonishing.

[@Ilymando]

[@chaeminnieoffical]

3:18 i think the reason they had a phone is to show that kids can affected by social media at a very young age. (feel free to correct me if im wrong)

[@jjuc7930]

[@lajoyeusetroupe]

The ending makes more sense if you watch it until the end though ^^ I was waiting your reaction to the "i feel you". (By the way, your video is good, thank you for your job !)

[@romyavidan7252]

You gave so much attention to the little details so much, I love that! It makes my new favorite song so much fun! Thank you!

[@he1079]

i think allergy is about how not everything is how it seems and nobody is perfect and everyone has something they long for or that they are jealous of, and queencard is about how it doesnt matter how u behave or look just be urself and youll learn to love urself. i think thats why the two mvs were connected like a to be continued. there were so much little easter eggs in both mvs and deep meanings in each individual screen its honestly crazy 😭

[@AgustShookie.D]

You should watch s class by stray kids. They have lots of cool edits

[@stars.r.broken]

Thanks so much Jordan! Your reactions are always so mood-lifting, and it is a true blessing when you talk about your faith and Jesus 🤩Wondering if you could pls unpack Stray Kids comeback MV S-Class sometime?

[@ariathefirst6495]

If you notice in the beginning, she was going to the consulting room and not going out of the consulting room which means this was before the events of Allergy when she decided to take the surgery. The club scene happened before Allergy since Yuqi was talking about Soyeon on her line mentioning Kim K and Ariana, they even showed her clip in between those lines. It was a dream but it really did happen. Yes. Soyeon said she intended to make this funny and cheesy. She said to not take it seriously. Soyeon was inspired by the rom com movie I Feel Pretty. The way she walks away on the end means that she really didnt care about the follows and likes she got.

[@morrigan_blake]

3:53 loving ur proclamation of faith!!

[@crazerrazer6778]

M/V: Shuhua and Yuqi in the dressing room together. Jordan: I shall not comment
