NewJeans (뉴진스) - "Attention" MV + Performance Video + "Hype Boy" All Versions | REACTION

[@riddhi1909]

well they are teenager so i think this concept perfectly fits them im actually happy they didn't go for the normal girl crush and deep storyline concept it's a breath of fresh air in kpop

[@heyyou3136]

*Hanni's Hype Boy Ending:* she finally met & get to know her dancer crush *Minji's:* her 🍋boy not only draws her hand but to everyone. His hands are also full of everyone's hand drawings. So he was being friendly to everyone not just her *Hyein's:* her 🧢boy mocking her team's choreography & she felt hurt *Danielle & Haerin's:* 1 🏀boy tries to hitting on them in turn secretly but they find out & take revenge by stolen his jersey in the locker room. They chose their friendship over love That's a smart move to have 4 version of mvs. So peoples will watch it for curiosity & in the same time the song will slowly grow on u bcs u heard it 4 times

[@iry0092]

Well I don’t think the 🍋 boy is “being friendly to everyone”. If you watch a bit closer, you’ll find his new designs on his arms are blue-based (Minji told him her favorite color is blue, so he makes blue 💙 designs) Also, for Hanni’s situation. I think she didn’t know the dancer is a girl. She probably thought “she” is a boy. That’s why she look shocked while first seeing the dancer taking off her mask. But still, this crush tho turned out being a misunderstanding, she doesn’t seem unhappy. Maybe they will be close friends or maybe they’ll start dating. Who knows lol. Her MV is my fav btw🥰

[@babyme8886]

Actually Minji's boy actually loves her...At the beginning of the mv , it shows us that he loves her

I agree with the last statement

[@leoem4nuel]

I understand what you mean by the overused social media stylizing can be a bit of a turn off and that you prefer listening to the song without the MV. The sound is nostalgic for millenials who grew up in the late 90s and early 2000s, so it is something they will dig. But the MV seems to cater more to Gen Zs and the sound is fresh to them since most of them did not grew up listening to this sound. In a way, HYBE seems to be targeting both demographics at the same time.

[@jooniecbz3832]

I'm personally SO GLAD their music sounds like this. Not everything has to be deep, explosive, philosophical, and dark/mature to be a serious art form bro. Sometimes people just wanna vibe out to chill music , not everything has to be a circus showcase with screeching vocals and back breaking choreo. It makes them stand out, it's refreshing and pleasing to the ear. And I know everyone is concerned about the age or whatever, but the member Hyein has been in the limelight since she was 8, this is something she is used to and wants to do with her life, and I don't think we should force someone to stay hidden from the world or whatever when she clearly has a passion for this field and has the talent.

[@genungapi583]

Preach!🙌🏻👍🏻

[@TheTwil1]

💜 they’re awesome!!!

[@wowjuswow]

17 yr old here👋🏼😂. in my opinion, I think their videos kinda give off the TV version of teenage life portrayal. I can see what they’re trying to do though with basically coming of age concept. (first crush, friendship, and etc.) Kinda fitting since the members are all teenagers

[@babyme8886]

I am 17 too..~ the difference is when I look at other kpop gg s my age , I feel insecure...but these girls make me feel like that I am a cool girl too ..~ in simple words , this concept makes me feel like what I want to feel at this age !

[@allanmhanson]

I'm 35 and this song inspired me to cut my hair by myself today lol, I was playing it while i did it. it turned out amazing. When i was a teenager it was also about first loves and friendship, being a teenager doesn't change that much, it's always a beautiful time. Just try to keep your friendships while growing up, most people fall i love and forget about friends. Your friends will always be there when relationships fail, so give them their place.

[@riddhi1909]

Newjeans meaning : min heejin, the producer and CEO says: “popular music is a culture that is very close to everyday life, so it’s like clothes worn everydaylike jeans which have been loved by men and women of all ages in the middle of the trend regardless of the trend as a new icon of this era, i wish you the “New Jeans” that you can never get tired of wearing everyday! this is the value New Jeans aims for, and the beginning of New Genes - New Jeans

[@n0un0ursTube]

[@diddle1675]

Omg that made so much sense. She explained that so well. New genes. New Jean's.

[@sumysim3245]

I think it's inspired by Brooke Shields' Calvin Klein Commerical, who also Min Heejin is inspiring this group after. Which makes it extremely weird..

[@anonmoose2369]

With all these in your face music of Kpop, this is really a breathe of freash air. If those groups keep bringing the loud, electronic, futuristic tunes, fans will start to get tired of them. I guess this is a beginning of a new trend.

[@Barbz_03]

I’m 18 and I’m in love with it lol, I think it is deeper than just a teenage love it’s them getting to know themselves and being brave enough to take risk

[@pixiiie]

About your concept take "it feels plastic" I've got to disagree. this concept is PERFECT for teenagers and I assure you most of the teens can relate. maybe it's cuz, as you said, you're an adult which is why you felt that way. times have changed and you're not familiar with this new generation

[@bonchaemanchae]

Hyein, the 08' liner, started modelling when she was 8. She's also a former member of kid girl group U.SSO girls debuted on 2017 and been an active member til early 2019, she then joined play with me club. you can see her vlogs and short dramas under pocket tv yt channel. so yeah, she's been in public eye since she was a child

Even I am 23 years old and still feels too old for this concept. But anyways I am here for their songs which I absolutely love.

[@jkkhrrgv]

I’m 31 and I was a teen too, so I related to them a lot, maybe you didn’t get that but others had. I had my group of friends, I was playful, I went to partys, I was obsessed with certain boy, etc. So it’s not the gen, it’s about stories of each people

[@Quarksi]

I feel like the ultimate aim for New Jeans is pairing a widely liked retro-ish music style with Gen - Z sensibility. And it makes sense because a lot of Gen - Z's favorite music are remixes of old songs. I'd say New Jeans is a coming of age story type group in a gen z setting. Despite that though I find their songs and themes universally relatable because teens of all generations went through similar, and the fact Gen - Z loves to borrow heavily from previous gens for their aesthetic definitely makes everything feel both fresh and nostalgic.

[@pixiiie]

i 100% agree with your "this doesn't sound like typical kpop song" take and that's the exact reason I can't wait for their other songs and the album !! same goes for lesserafim as well their album and bsides are BOPP!!

[@Wonbaeofficial]

Both Attention and hype boy feel kpop yet pop at the same time. cheap yet expensive, strange yet loveable, old yet new, the nailed this, I love it!

[@rahulbaidya5069]

I genuinely don't mind with them continuing the social media/teen crush concept because that seems more appropriate for their age and fits them more naturally.

[@cloudtranquilo]

Idk i like this kind of theme better than the usual fiction or metaverse concept brought by other groups

[@Ketchu-p]

My genuine comments to this video, no hate: 1) It's Kpop, not everything is deep enough that it warrants overanalyzing. 2.) They're teenagers appropriately singing and portraying about what it feels like to have a puppy love/crush in their age. 3.) Not anything related to social media is a critique or commentary of it. It's just a reflection of the reality teens their age are living in. Just like how art or media or content created in a certain period reflects the reality of that time. 4.) As someone who is also grown and not even in social media actively, it's weird to say you hate "everything" social media when you are on it and making profit off of it.

[@bella-yy5zu]

[@magnate1093]

ceo said it’s wordplay from new genes. and also new jeans are timeless

How did I not pick up on that 😅

[@rikolee7002]

It just brings me back to my high school life, I was study at international school in NL, and the home party and girls talk about our crush was really part of my life.

[@Nac]

I think the darker tones you’re picking up on are intentional. Each girl falls for a hype boy that ends up disappointing them in the end, one way or another.

[@briozie]

that’s the meaning of the song

[@annazully2680]

idk if it’s because im a girl and im gen z but i think the concept aesthetic is very visually appealing and recalls a lot of the fashion and “youthful” feeling that y2k/pop r&b songs from the early 2000s had. but it’s overly produced which is why it feels somewhat refreshing??? and for me cause im legit 22, it reminds me of a lot of the girl pop songs from that time and was bound to make its way into K-pop so I’m happy and actually so obsessed with this group

[@xdestiny]

In my opinion, I think this concept is very intentional because it has a youthful vibe/feel to it-which is exactly what these girls are. They're very young (14-18) and part of Gen Z. The concept itself has a late 90s and early 2000s vibe, which millennials can also relate to. I don't mind it at all. I think Attention and Hype Boy are both great pre-releases for them.

[@acetobase5]

1- I like both songs 2- I think the concept is fitting giving their ages. mhj also loves these type of mv concepts and I believe one of her favorite tv series ever was uk skins. The different pov versions mvs was something I have missed in recent years and it’s nice to see it back and it’s very bold move to do that with debut at that but I think it will easier to learn the members names through it so it’s smart I guess 3- I do still think these girls at least the one born 2008 is too young to debut already. I have been feeling super tired of these young kids debuting and worried about them debuting this young. Before anyone comes at me saying well you stanned shinee and fx and taemin was 14 & krystal was almost 16 when she debuted same age as these girls I just want to say that taemin and krystal wished they never debuted super young either and just because other idols in the past debuted young it doesn’t mean that should keep happening and not just this group but almost all new groups now has a lot of young teens I can’t help but feel worried for them 4- mhj is super creative and I like her work so excited to see what she will go with this. My only concern when it comes to mhj is she likes the skinny image body line and these girls look so skinny already so I hope they are healthy at least and that mhj doesn’t try to make them maintain the skinny image like she did with shinee and fx 5- yeah you got it correctly about why she left sm. Her main groups were fx and shinee especially fx and while she did some projects for other groups in sm she started getting tired and burned out. However sm kept wanting her to do stuff for other groups as well and they wanted her to handle nct; she was already super tired and asked for her own sublabel and her own project but sm refused. At that point shinee members were about to enlist and fx members were leaving sm so she ended up leaving sm as well Thanks for the reaction

[@hypeboiwrad]

Thank you for your great explanation, now i know that MHJ is a big mama to the best experimental Kpop group ever; that we called f(x) & SHINee

[@pedromiguesc]

"Hate all this social media shit!" - youtube reaction video guy

[@peach1347]

what i like most about new jeans, other than their sound, is that they're age appropriate. they are a young group so i'm glad they're not being sexualized and their concept/lyrics are not forcing them to be any older than they are. they're teenagers and i'm glad ador is letting them be

[@011mph]

their concept is definitely relatable to the younger generation. social media is a huge part of our lives lol

[@Ellen-yv5dt]

I'm like you; that chorus is just a full octave interval and it's AWESOME. So clean. And I love their chill and floppy don't-care choreography with all the young ladies behind them in white -- girl power. So adorable! (I love your protectiveness.)

[@ruebze]

I heard all their songs about 3 days ago now... I love Hype Boy vuz in an era where am always listening to new bubbly cute songs or girl crush screaming to my ear, then suddenly i got a smooth, groovy vibe like this. I know about the controversy but i seriously amazed by the music and New Jeans as a group and i've been streaming non stop since 3 days ago.

[@maiahehe4253]

On NewJeans' official website they say that this album, and NewJeans' concept in general, depicts teenage love and "the kind of energy reserved only for teenage youth," which sort of explains their young ages and the social media, genz concept in their music videos. The website also says that their music is not the standard k-pop formula, which is why it doesn't really sound like k-pop.

[@hypeboiwrad]

Bro, this a pure gem for a pre-debut. HYBE are so good for looking that western listeners. New Jeans are having this 90s vibes, pretty girls, trippy sounds, what else? No wonder SNSD, f(x) & RV are so big back in the days. And as a die hard f(x) fans; a MeU, i will definitely will watching this group! ~ #TeamMinHeeJin

[@nimo9444]

f(x)? no. They has even 10 years older groove than f(x)

[@hypeboiwrad]

@@nimo9444 i mention them and also fx it bcs min hee jin (the founder of ador label who made NewJeans) is the creator of f(x) & the others group in SM back then

[@hypeboiwrad]

@@nimo9444 adding more, fx & rv both having an experimental and futuristic sounds, which that is not something common back in 2010-2015. Just like NewJeans now, whos having “not common” concept and just debut with 90s fresh concept while all company debuting girl group in a Girl Crush concept

[@laii8600]

i think the hype videos show how they fall in love with this creation they make through their phones, without really knowing them, so at the end they all have different outcomes of what they expected

[@sumysim3245]

Honestly even with all of the drama right now, I hope Newjeans continues (without Min Heejin) and after a while, promote in the US. It would be amazing and they'll def be popular internationally.

[@Whee1ndmud]

To be honest, I think this is gen z reality, technology is really that normal for them. On the other hand, the music style and the more low-pitch voices made it relatable for me so I just bare with all the gen z (and gen 4 kpop) stuff

[@Lyf4rMusic]

Danielle caught y attention the most too ... She's a totally sweet and adorable girl

[@eddi_ramses]

Dude I'm 24 so I feel like I can connect with millenials and gen z at the same time. And I feel like you're just not part of the target audience for this concept I mean I can barely relate with the story lines of this music videos buuut the "dystopian" world that you talked about does exist and it is kind of scary and refreshing at the same time, where I live I often see groups of teenagers dress like that and doing all that stuff so it is definitely happening. It's a love and hate feeling edit: but if this type of music is coming out of it i'm not mad at all

[@bonzina]

I actually like that it's such a different approach and I trust Min Heejin, her style of promotions certainly has everyone talking, apparently they're really trending on pann. I love the sound of both of these songs, it reminds me of late 90s RnB. Their styling and choreo reminds me of 1st gen kpop ggs like SES and FinKL, especially those really big wide dance moves that are quite simple and using your whole body. I like the lighting in Attention especially in the outdoor scenes and also in the car, and as someone who was a preteen girl around the millennium all of the aesthetic choices and atmosphere are intensely nostalgic even despite the modern tech being used. The Hype Boy mv I definitely feel too old for haha, I'm hoping they'll release a performance version for that one too. I do love the animation, it reminds me of Luna's Free Somebody mv. As for the social media presence in the mvs, I think that might be an age thing, it's so symbiotic to the gen z experience I'm not sure they even notice it as a theme, it's just reality for them so it doesn't stand out

[@ItsMayDay]

Its a very refreshing kpop song. Not your usual kpop song. They sound so different and they looked like a girl band from the 90s.

[@mahiraamna8780]

As an fx fan, specifically 4walls, this is made for me. I totally get what you mean of it being like that hbo show by which I think you mean euphoria, although rather than euphoria it reminds me of some other high teen movies and series like 'The summer I turned pretty' very genz relevant as someone who loves reading YA novels and series I enjoyed the MVs. Even the interactions looks very out of a high/middle school love story. Believe it or not there are kids 14 to 18 that looks and acts like that and I am 04 liner myself but still feel old seeing that stuff. It is what it is. I understand how you had difficulty with digesting the concept but I feel like it had been done in 2nd gen too like SNSD 'Gee' or Shinee 'View' with the weird love lines lol. I feel like every generation probably has an example of that but maybe cause most of it reference modern ways it feels out of place for you. For the storyline, the review that I read did say that the songs are gonna be following a storyline guessing Hurt is the next song it might be about heartbreak. It is not unusual having 14 year olds in kpop but the fact that 08 liners are now what we consider to be 14yrs old is what's bugging ALOT of ppl. Seriously I feel like 2000s kids grew up to early lol.

[@mahiraamna8780]

Also I do not mean that ALL teenagers act like this AT ALL. Just some loud crowd we have seen around us. I do get it feeling plastic but alot of the times most media related to our generations do look like that like TikTok in itself. I do think that their are some dark undertones to the content too like most of the partners did something to make our girls question their interest in them some were even plain assholes which makes me think it is going yo a revelation of how this generalised look on first love/bf that our genz tends to have is unrealistic. Since the next song is hurt, I believe it's gotta be something like that.

[@HJ-lk2od]

I love your comment! made me wanna watch some hbo shows lol

[@rayounadz6672]

Don't forget that they're under 18 , they're teenagers, their concept can't be different than this

[@JE-jg2ij]

It is definitely supposed to be unnerving - that's Min Heejin's whole thing. If you've ever seen the f(x) Pink Tape Art Film, which was inspired by the movie The Virgin Suicides, this would be like the Gen Z version of that. She seems to be going for the duality of how fun it is to be a teenager but also how dark it can be sometimes.

[@RudeMekanicals]

The visual aesthetics of the whole thing screams to me Kidz, that 90's documentary style movie which celebrated underground youth culture but also showed its dark underbelly. So yeah, it does make anyone who's not that exact same age feel old, but it's also universal in its depection of personaal experiences. In the end though, the music is amazing, the members bring it, the rollout is so iriginal, I think we have yet another ROTY contender on our hands...

[@Mojka]

I was waiting for your reaction to New Jeans! I absolutely love the songs, they're super catchy and somewhat unique when it comes to modern kpop. As for the mvs... they are interesting but as a fellow 'old' person in her early thirties watching them made me glad there was no tiktok, instagram etc when I was a teenager. I think life was less complicated back then😉

[@aiforus]

I don't know why people have a thing about AGE in entertainment, including Kpop. In sports, kids are recruited when they are 10 years old in junior olympic training clubs. Kpop artists are also sometimes recruited around this age. Some in entertainment anywhere, including the U.S., are training and entertaining at 6 or 7 years old. Why do people pull out KPOP as something unique in this? As far as exploitation, that occurs everywhere there are young people. If they have talent and they want to do it, they should be able to do it. What's important to me is how they are cared for.

[@landonrose4156]

just started the video but totally agree how this song isn’t really “kpop” which is what I love. Tbh I’m tired of all the “noise” and hard beat drops kpop has been giving these past few years. Aside from a few kpop songs not doing the noise/beat, this was really a breath of fresh air and pleasant surprise. Just finished the video but ngl was confused when you said you like the song more than the video cause I think it’s supposed to be that way, least imo. If I don’t like the music I can’t watch a video even if it’s the best shot thing ever.

​@@KpopPrince when it comes to love, yes! isn't it refreshing to see something other than generic girl crush or over-sexualization of teens? I think it's better to see this concept, specially because it despicts the love dilemmas of young girls and it was made by a female gaze (the CEO of Ador), than to see companies selling the "love yourself, you're different" vibe while making their idols fit every single k-pop beauty/behavior standards. just my opinion tho

i think a lot of kpop, especially now, is just purely loud sounds/shouting. don't get me wrong, i do like those "loud sounds" and "shouting" but after a while you notice groups sound very similar because they're all chasing the same trend. new jeans is completely original in that aspect. i love how it's just simply vibes. it's old school, but fresh. what an amazing start to their upcoming debut

[@Saturnnsaturn]

For me, I’m not quite sure yet how serious we’re suppose to read into this concept. I do pick up on the overuse of social media and this tv teen drama portrayal in all the mvs, I just don’t know how deep it’s supposed to go. I can’t tell if it’s on purpose or if they’re hopping onto this GenZ y2k throwback trend and throwing random stuff in. I know Hybe loves to do in-depth storytelling with some of their other groups. they have one more MV coming out later and maybe that will give us some more info to this concept. Loving the music tho

[@orbitwol]

I feel like 30 isn’t that old 😭 Maybe you just feel old compared to these girls/this youthful concept? I’m 20 and a girl, so maybe this resonates more with me, but I didn’t catch anything darker or “Black Mirror” about the Hype Boy MVs. The only thing that had to do with technology was the fact that it followed the girls talking about their crushes w/ little codenames in the group chat. Just texting, not plugging themselves into the Matrix or anything. It fits well into their kind of y2k meets the present aesthetic that’s popular these days and the cell phone set is very reminiscent of y2k technofuturism/cyber aesthetics and vaporwave like you mentioned in the video. It’s interesting that the presence of the cell phone took you out of it so much, since most 30 year olds are familiar with texting. But it solidifies NewJeans’ target audience is their peer, which is kind of a relief since the girls are so young! I would make me at least feel a lot better if the majority of their fans were teen girls.

[@materialesparticulados]

its creepy but at the same time is digital reality at its finnest, there is a detail that blows my mind that asthma boy is being digitally vigilated while he crosses the scene and falls, in some way everthing has a communicative sence for the video but in a technological scale is portrait of the normalization of the panopticon on the daily basis.

If you don’t like something or got offended by something, then you’re not their targeted audience anymore. Also, you don’t need to keep watching what you hate.

So if you can’t stand their concept and a whole min heejin aesthetic, maybe you should stay away from this girls.

I love both songs, I liked the mvs and I like the aesthetics for everything so far Though I am a bit conflicted just how I’m conflicted with pretty much all new groups debuting lately due to the young age. It’s true that idols has been debuting at a young age since 1st gen for example BoA debuted when she was 13 years old, but even in groups during 2nd & 3rd gen the numbers of idols who debuted young weren’t like how it is now; nowadays there are too many young kids and I am pretty sure because there are too many group and groups last less than before so by debuting them younger and younger companies are able to get work out of them for longer while they can before the possibility of disband in future Sorry, went to other topic but back to this I do like the debut so far and I think it’s age appropriate for these girls. Older groups used to have different versions of mv and sometimes related to concepts like how it’s done here but it was never for debut and I do think this is both bold and smart move MHJ is amazing and one of the most creative people in the industry and can’t wait to see what she has to bring with this group. She is very artistic and experimental. Though I want to kinda add to info I have seen in comments, her main group in sm was f(x) and was 100% in charge of everything related to them; in shinee case while they were also her group; the members got a bit of creative freedom since 2013 and got it more in 2015 and a lot of their stuff were mix between her and what they wanted for themselves as well even for their solos they were heavily involved with their solos than she was; she still amazing creative director and extremely talented person. Forgot to say she was also heavily involved with rv for a while too; those three groups are who she worked with the most so I guess it will give you example on what she does like to do; her favorite idols were f(x) krystal & shinee taemin- other idols she liked a lot were seulgi (rv) and kai (exo) though krystal and taemin were almost like her own children and she called them her muse

[@robobo9071]

This group kinda reminds me of Shinee when they first debuted with Replay. IDK how to explain it, but Hype Boy and Attention feels really western to this era of KPOP, just like Replay was back then.

[@blackarmy2387]

Teenagers are curious and I've been to that they are relatable

[@rumi1379]

This is not UK lmao it's too sunny and has a beach 😄 they are in Barcelona

[@kthuwuuwu9296]

I think you're just reading too much in the concept? hahaha cause in my opinion their concept just revolves around coming of age and being a teenager... so I think it's just you being old hahahah but maybe this comment will age badly..... cause based on what min heejin produced previously she kinda operates on vibes? and more of the feeling and less of the hardcore story lore theory crafting stuff... but maybe it's just me

[@mjara74]

I get it. It looks like a Disney teen movie haha. But the song is good and hope for the best for them! I will be following them.

[@guessdachejejeje7539]

I love your remarks on diffrerent Kpop mvs soooo much, almost feeling like you'r another ME (mentally). This may sound a bit creepy, but I do take you as a friend of mine thousands miles away in another country, omg haha.

[@KpopPrince]

Yay I love that 💜! I always wanted to make it feel like you're watching alongside a friend

[@A.J_096]

Bro I just recently discovered new jeans and at first I had a hard time watching them because their kids but their music and style is so unique. Its so dreamy, chill and laidback. With that being said I stopped looking at them as kids but as very talented artists and just focus on their music.

[@lizethqp2258]

as a 27 years old... i only focused on the song hahahaha and i think i find it familiar the whole 14 or 17 years old boy crushes but i think thats bc i have a teenager sister so i got used to this type of gen z world hahaha

[@lapizlapoppy]

I love the complete disconnect and the incredible miss to the message of the Hype Boy music videos. Didn't understand the story of a single one. Go off king, give us nothing ❤️

They were truly enthralling

i'm also in my thirties and i just think they're fresh n cute n i luv the aesthetics

[@QueenSuA94]

First, I'd like to just say that kpop has honestly been making me feel old lately, and I'm only 22, so I feel you. The look/vibe/styling of these videos honestly gave me disney/disney adjacent musical-set-in-highschool-with-people-who-look-older-than highschool. Almost like the mean rich girls you always see in those films who have the expensive, unrealistic parties that none of us were invited to (Edit/disclaimer: obviously not that the girls are mean girls)

[@KpopPrince]

Yesss! This is a good way of describing it. It reminds me most of Skins or Euphoria where everyone is kinda terrible haha 😅

[@QueenSuA94]

@@KpopPrince Honestly it even sounds like a song from a musical too, to me. It feels very nostalgic, almost. And, personally, I totally agree with you on your comments about the concept, the focus on social media, and how it doesn't feel like real life (kinda bothers me that so many people acting offended by your opinions)

[@KpopPrince]

In the kpop-sphere, people only want their opinions validated. I pride myself on being honest with this channel while being respectful. If people can't handle that, there are hundreds of other reaction channels out there that'll flip out to every song.

[@drememberist]

Someone told me Hype Boy has KHAN's "I'm your girl" vibes.

9:16 There is a sign with locations on it, written on the sign is a municipality and two Spanish cities Girona, Granollers and Argentona.

[@ktlady]

Was waiting for this! This group really did something! 🥰 Edit: i go back and forth with thinking on the young idols debuting. I think like you said we arent gonna escape it, but i mean i kinda compare it to child actors in my head in a way? I know some of them end up a lil messed up as they get older but i feel like thinking this way makes it a little less icky in my mind if that makes sense? I mean (showing my age here 😭) say like when Hanson debuted the youngest was 11 and they were like globally famous. I dont know if any of that makes sense? Not justifying it but makes me a tiny bit less uncomfy? Its def something very nuanced. Ive heard someone else say “your not to young to start following your dreams” but like i said i flip flop on the issue 😅 Edit edit (lmfao) i heard attention was shot in barcelona Also GET OFF MY LAWN GEN-Z 😆🤣

[@fakestrawberryflavor]

As an old dude too man, I feel you lol. The songs are fire tho. I do like that there is something super creepy ‘black mirror’ like about all of this tho

[@gfsilva1991]

Dude, it's just Y2K. The 90's is the new trend. This hyper tecnology thing, it's similar to Aespa, but in a different way.

[@jkkhrrgv]

Ok I’m going to tell this in spanish bc yeah. Yo también estoy en mis 30, y sí me identifico con las cosas que hacen las chicas en el mv, obviamente un hombre puede sentirse anexo y encontrarlo tonto (porque siempre nos encuentran ridículas, como el pendejo asmático que se estaba burlando). Por lo general, uno cuando es adolescente o está en la pubertad hace esas cosas, no todas porque hay algunas que fuimos más agrandadas que otras, pero uno tenía crushes y estaba, LITERAL, como quinceañera enamorada, mirando a tu crush de lejos, muriendo si te hablaba, hablándote con tus amigas por teléfono o msn un montón, no teníamos tanta tecnología, pero hubiéramos estado igual o peor con los celulares porque es súper acorde a la edad. Uno solía ir a las fiestas de día porque de noche ya no se podía tanto, y por lo general habían muchas situaciones awkwards. Yo cuando iba en la media, me juntaba horas antes con mis amigas y poníamos música, nos arreglábamos y maquillábamos, nos intercambiábamos la ropa, tonteábamos y jugábamos hasta que salíamos. Así que sí me identifico demasiado. Cosas que amé mucho aparte de la música (porque !!!!!!!!!!! de verdad que los temas son muy buenos). 1. La ropa, maquillaje, looks súper de acuerdo a su edad. De hecho salen hasta sin maquillaje en algunas partes~ 2. Que sea súper inclusivo con sus “crush” en todo sentido de la palabra, o sea, había de todos los tipos, cero discriminación y pura buena onda. 3. La energía de las niñas, lo diferente que se muestran, pero amo que se vea como que son un grupo de amigas más que compañeras de trabajo. 4. Que no sea como un grupo de kpop igual que todos, que marque una diferencia REAL. Que en realidad tenga mucho sentido lo que estás viendo y escuchando, que sean en diferentes espacios y muy reales, porque si bien hubo producción, se ve natural. Me gustaría decir muchas cosas más, pero en sí amo mucho la sensación que me dieron. Tienen las edades de mis hermanas y primas pequeñas, son encantadoras. Y cuando vi los looks con los pinches, el baile, la música, me llegó toda la nostalgia porque me recordó a cuando yo era más pequeña y escuchaba a Spice Girls, me disfrazaba de Britney, ponía la radio en mi pieza y solo disfrutaba la música. No sé, es que sus looks son modernos, pero al mismo tiempo están basados en los 90,s y 00’s, lo cual totalmente viví. Se ganaron mi amor💗. Además que vi por ahí que participaban en las canciones, tan pequeñas y talentosas 🥹.

you should do hurt now!! i think its just beautiful all around

[@nicoleloss7987]

The parent gave promises to be in the group. So the parents are OK with it. That's what matters . They want the child talented show to the world.

[@carysemaxim5084]

They filmed Attention in Barcelona, Spain apprently

[@BarstucksCoffee]

Yeah, definitely a turn-of-the-millenium, Y2K throwback with this very American R'n'B/Hip Hop production. It's like something I'd hear playing in the background of a scene in Romeo Must Die and other movies around that time. I would be lying if I said I wasn't uncomfortable watching this, mostly for the fact that they're going to be living the Korean idol lifestyle from as young as 14, the concepts they might be made to do and the type of fans they will garner in the near future. I don't even think they're allowed to enter that gig at the intro legally without an accompanying adult. Hoping they won't crash and burn mentally further down the line because what they've done for their music here is actually pretty good. Will definitely give it another listen without the music video as a distraction. Location suggests they're in Spain judging from the various bits of architecture you see, especially that courtyard at 8:24. We see "Girona" on the sign at 9:16 which is also in northeastern Spain. So assuming they shot that scene of the freeway heading northbound around the time they filmed for the rest of the music video, I'm guessing they were in and around Barcelona. The stadium shots could just be in Korea based on the dancers.

They are younger so social media is a big part of the teenage life … but hey everybody won’t get it

[@beltrangarrote1982]

Filming location is Spain - Barcelona and surroundings. The intro with the concert is at Sala Apolo. The Arena is the only place I can’t tell. As a Spaniard, I never ever expected a K-Pop act to shoot in Spain. So cool.
