(G)I-dle Reaction - I Burn Album

[@KPOPCarrie]

Minnie's mom plays the piano and Minnie wanted to learn so she started taking lessons at age 5. Dahlia was a really heavily requested song at their concerts so each member had a solo stage and Minnie re-arranged the song into a solo for her since she wrote it.

[@SylverReacts]

That’s super sweet ☺️

[@emanymton713]

In Soojin’s absence, Shuhua ends up singing her lines in “most” instances. Minnie and Miyeon occasionally sing Soojin’s parts if Shuhua already has a line that follows Soojin’s.

[@SylverReacts]

Thanks for letting me know! ☺️

[@sjsing9007]

For HWAA, SHUHUA said she'd just understand the meaning of lyric and why the choreography like that during they recorded it in Chinese version that Yuqi translated like a poem, it's so beautiful. This song in Korean, Soyeon wrote as poetry too If you see ' I.m on the beat' EP3 , Soyeon sang all three songs and talked about her writing them.

[@SylverReacts]

Oooh thank you for the suggestion on I’m on the beat that sounds awesome

[@moonbow5019]

​@@SylverReacts You can also react to soyeon on Lee mujin service where she talks about her works behind the scenes of an mv..and also sings her unreleased song for the first time on there

[@sjsing9007]

You may be interested to see an interview from Houdini, the producer who worked with Soyeon, Minnie and Yuqi as producers in the early era, in the ReacttotheK channel last month.

[@SylverReacts]

Oooh yeah that sounds really interesting! I will have to check it out

[@DartShidu]

hwaa received 10 wins on music shows, it was their only song for the year, the scandal began a month after its release. it's time to watch "the rise of (g)i-dle - cube entertainment secret weapon"

[@SylverReacts]

Adding it to my list!

[@itachilimbu3752]

I burn is the one of the greatest album among in entire kpop. And also Minnie is a writer and composer. Minnie's songs are blow your mind from i made, Dhalia and Moon(she composed it while soyeon wrote the lyrics), change and sculpture from i love, paradise and lucid from i feel, doll and vision(miyeon also contributed lyrics for this one) from 2. Also she composed and wrote I'm the trend along with yuqi

[@SylverReacts]

It’s a fantastic album! Also I have absolutely adored Minnie’s production work so far, no wonder she’s my bias 🥰

[@KPOPCarrie]

The steps in the dance practices always get me. I love to hear them.

[@SylverReacts]

Right?! There’s something so authentic and cool about hearing that sound

[@sjsing9007]

For 'I Never Die' Album. You can follow the stroy line by ordering 1st to the end track listening. But the 'I Love' mini album, Soyeon recommend us to reverse order listening by end to 1 st track.

[@SylverReacts]

Oooh reverse order is different!

[@Dacre1000]

@@SylverReacts It tells a story from 1 to 6 in reverse time and in chronological order from 6 to 1. Also ech mirror track from each end (1-6, 2-5, 3-4) is the dark reflection of its opposite. It is a marvel of structure. I reccomend listening first to 1-6 and then 6-1. Queencard and Allergy are also intersting because as MVs Allergy comes first to tell its story but on the album it is Queencard and it really works very well both ways for different reasons. Also i would recommend you to look up the teasers and song previews for the album I Feel. They did something really special there that is part of the story of the Allergy and Queencard mvs.

[@TimothyHaynes-n6j]

hwa composed by Soyeon, lost composed by Yuqi, dahlia composed by Minnie, my fav 3 songs of the album, I Burn must be one of my fav album . Shout to our producer line!

[@SylverReacts]

It’s really cool that all of the members of the producer line have a song on the album!

[@TimothyHaynes-n6j]

@@SylverReacts in fact ,all songs produced by them. Soyeon produced 3/5 songs since debut, Minnie(Join the production team on2019) and Yuqi(Join the production team on 2020) produced other 2/5.(Except for the B-side of their first mini album,and the english album 'HEAT')

[@Dacre1000]

@@SylverReacts I burn is when they start to get 2 songs per album each... Unless it is a full album and then its the same but Soyeon gets 4. Soyeon also wrote the lyrics for Moon and the two Yuqi songs in I Love.

[@sjsing9007]

For B-side. 'Lost' is my favourite. This is Yuqi's song. Unfortunately they didn't see they performed this song. Anyway Neverland love 'Dahlia' most. 'Dahlia' and 'Moon' are Minnie's song. Minnie play piano. Yuqi play guitar. Soyeon use EDM the most for wrote the songs

[@SylverReacts]

Nice! Lost definitely deserves a live performance though, I would love to see it live I see, that’s why Dahlia had a solo version by Minnie, totally didn’t know she wrote Moon too though! Thanks for the context as always 🫶

[@goodluckth4996]

Minnie’s uncle is the legendary Thai classical pianist Nat Yontararak

[@SylverReacts]

That’s really cool!

[@benjridimalek9051]

6:45 the hann live is from their first offline world tour when they already came back from the long hiatus after soojin left and had released 'i never die' album so it's from 2022..

[@SylverReacts]

Makes sense and still makes me sad 😞

[@turbulentcough]

if you want an album with a whole complete storyline, gidle's "I love" has that! the story starts from dark (x-file) to nxde

[@SylverReacts]

Looking forward to it!

[@Dacre1000]

I Burn is an important album not just because of the infortunate circunstance of being Soojin´s last (sigh) but because it formed the blueprint of their future albums. They were always, since I Made, conceptual albums, but from now on the albums structure is going to be more refined, with Soyeon perfecting her duology/trilogy of songs that tell a story or set a theme, and two songs per producer line . I Trust was already a gigantic step towards that, but this is them perfecting the formula. That solo Dhalia clip has been officialy released as a blu ray and dvd of last years concert, with profesional sound and video quality.

[@SylverReacts]

Oooh that’s cool that it really formed a blueprint for future albums! Also if you don’t mind, I have one thing to say about the professional sound and video of that Dahlia version…gimme..pleaaaaase? *makes grabby gestures* 🤣🤣

[@jejaicemong3642]

I-burn my most favourite album..the most artistic album ever when gidle at its peak…

[@learnway8016]

Hwaa is an interesting word as it has many meanings. Two of which are fire and flower. This is why the album had a Flower and Fire version (+white version) and also the Hwaa in the song itself has different meanings in the context of the sentence before. First two choruses it means Fire, the last one means Flower.

[@SylverReacts]

Oooh that’s fascinating! Thanks for letting me know! Now back to listening/reading lyrics to hear it with that in mind 😆

[@KPOPCarrie]

The Hann line (Hann (ALone), Hann (Alone in Winter) and HWAA), will always be my favorites from Idle. They are all just so beautiful and you can't tell me you can listen to them and not feel something. I think after Soojin left, I believe her lines was split between Shuhua, Minnie and Soyeon.

[@learnway8016]

Lost is my favourite on the album. Yuqi production as easily recognizable by the use of the accoustic guitar. :)

[@SylverReacts]

Lost is such a freaking bop! If Yuqi’s big into using Acoustic Guitar during her production, I am going to love her tracks 😂

[@sanayuyu]

honestly, the way you react/your format is the best. listening to the live versions after the mv is always super fun to see the added components of the song - thank u for always including live performances :))

[@SylverReacts]

Aww thank you! I really try to react to things in the format I wish I could watch reactions, so I'm glad to see there are some others out there like me lol

[@codyking643]

Thanks for this deep dive into I burn! Thoroughly enjoyed listening along with you. Lost, Hann and hwaa are my favourites from this album. A solo Dahlia recording would be amazing, maybe we will get it on the incoming Minnie solo album. Excited for soyeons solo album! Any chance you could include jelly & idle song please, they are pre-idle songs. Look out for soojin in idle song :)

[@SylverReacts]

I wanted to include Jelly and Idle song, but I didn’t have time because of the concert tonight, but we will definitely do a separate video for them next week 🫶 Also I am so not ready for a Minnie Solo album 🤯

[@Nevi_Neverlander]

(G)I-DLE 🌹🫶❤️‍🔥 Great reaction 😁👍

[@Vogelkinder]

"Hwaa" is my favorite song and MV by I-DLE, even to this day.

[@SylverReacts]

I can see why!

[@blablabla-dq5ch]

Hwaa should be korean treasure ... And u should be neverland treasure ... Best reactor for Idle stuff ... Keep it up bro 😊😊🎉🎉

[@SylverReacts]

Totally agree on Hwaa it’s fantastic and thank you so much ☺️ I really appreciate that!

[@sjsing9007]

If you like the jump sound, see Soyeon solo ' (Beam Beam)' Choreography Video (CEO Ver.) version. It's very nice to see.

[@SylverReacts]

Sweet! Looking forward to it 😊

[@davidk6269]

I have always absolutely loved "Hwaa"!!!! In my opinion, the only thing that prevents Hwaa from being an absolute perfect song is the abrupt ending. If the song was a little longer with a less abrupt ending, it would have been perfect.

[@yorubademon6353]

i thought you were going to react to the kbs fm live version of hwaa and the sbs radio version. I always watch those two performances cause of how it showcases their voices.

[@SylverReacts]

I have tended to avoid radio show versions if there are other lives available because they tend to get blocked pretty hard, but if people are interested we could add it to Patreon

[@yorubademon6353]

@@SylverReacts Ah okay. Some part of me figured that’s why you did not react to that. By the way there is a clearer video of that live performance of Dahlia . Discovered it yesterday. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZLXhGqhf5uXiNE

[@yorubademon6353]

@@SylverReacts Ah okay. i kind of figured too. By the way, there is a clearer and better camera quality version of the Dahlia you reacted to. Name of the channel is Pedro Martinez. Shows all the angles and sound quality is amazing.

[@dannyboy254]

Hwaa is a poetry. Unfortunately the translations doesn’t do it justice

[@SylverReacts]

That’s too bad, something is usually lost in translation, but I think it is still beautiful even if I’m missing out on the full experience (maybe when I finally learn Korean it’ll hit even harder)

[@Dacre1000]

@@SylverReacts The sudoku worthy translations of kpop songs is one of its charms... until you encounter a wordsmith like Soyeon. I dont speak korean, but people i trust that do tell me she really has a way with words that just never seems to come trough no matter how good the translation. Apparently she is very good with double meanings and word play and knows how to choose words that just fit sound wise.

[@dramaaddict25]

Shushu took most of Soojin's lines as she was more confident and had similar Soojin's tone

[@benjridimalek9051]

when you get into more live performances you need to react to gidle's MMA (award show) 2018 coz it's legendary they didn't look like rookies.. and then maybe their queendom performances again coz u said u didn't know them well when u watched queendom 1st.. and the one i want most is THEIR DUBAI EXPO 2022 perfs , it was their 1st stage together after the hiatus before they release tomboy and they looked like they came for revenge.. there's a lot of legendary ones but let's take it slow..

[@SylverReacts]

We will for sure check out some more live stages!
