"Swear without cigarettes" is a reference to Soojin, a former member of the group, part of the bullying accusations she suffered was saying that she smoked and cursed over the phone.I know, it sounds silly, but it was a huge mess that ended up with her leaving the group, the verse starts with "I like dance" Soojin was the main dancer, so I have no doubts

[@1-800-hcbrigs]

Yesss that entire section was def a soojin ref for sure

[@juicesghost8501]

Good catch!

[@Dandelion4048]

*Oh sht that makes a lot of sense..*

[@lomahtw]

Spot on. I knew at least parts of the message(s) of the song if not the whole are about Soojin. You are right about this. So sad Soojin left because of that. In a conservative society and the behavior of most Knetizens towards Kpop idols, Soojin just couldn't escape from being crucified. Not saying what she did was right, however, everyone does make mistakes when young. So does Soojin deserve a second chance for her wrong doing in the past? You be the judge and in fact Knetizens did crucify her.

And producer..

[@NovaKnight_]

I don’t think Soyeon’s part was supposed to be a RAP rap, it was more a homage to pop-punk so she didn’t break the genre and just went the Avril Lavigne sort of way. ‘What the hell’ is also an Avril reference.

[@lomahtw]

Yep, not a pure rap but more half sing/rap. Also IMO rapping in English is not her strongest but still very good. Cut her some slack.

[@NovaKnight_]

@@lomahtw Yeah, I love her but I think she should practice her pronunciation more and stick to Korean in songs in the meantime.

[@itsmayyo1584]

That was kind of the point. It was to try something different which is why he said not everyone will like this. Because it’s different especially Soyeon’s rap.

[@NovaKnight_]

@@itsmayyo1584 Yeah, I didn’t disagree with that, just putting it into context since people are roasting her for it on Twitter and discrediting her rap skills because of this one stylistic choice.

[@itsmayyo1584]

@@NovaKnight_ I see. Don’t worry, I didn’t mean anything by it, just sort of adding further context to it.

[@muhammadfaiz2728]

at 9:33, yuqi says "just me i-dle" and on their comeback poster the letter (G) is blurred, because the (G) in (G)I-DLE are girls. in their title track, TOMBOY. and in this song they bring a genre that is rarely performed by girl groups because it is usually performed by boy groups.

[@anju5124]

When I look at the choreo, it looks more boyish and strong and energetic as well.

[@geeklet]

As much as I love Soyeon, I think this is one of her weaker rap verses. Seeing Knox do a video to this song though, makes me want to see a video for one of Soyeon's solo songs, "Is This Bad B**** Number"

[@danielgrisinger]

It was on Patreon last week 😃

[@geeklet]

@@danielgrisinger Well, looks like I need to visit Patreon!

[@GrandmaNUT]

It's weak but it suits the entire song, with Tomboy, Soyeon was not intending to go full rap for this but more rock pop. She did go off in their other songs in this album though.

[@charleskonishi]

Guys its not weak, u just need to really understand the lyrics. It has a great meaning.

[@fabioinsomnianeverland3103]

Have you listen My bag?

[@qtcn749]

These girls are proving to us how talented they are each time. And like how Soyeon went away from her usual style in rap to pay homage to the punk rock genre. I'm surprised you still haven't reacted to 'Oh my god ' by them yet, sir👀. That's literally their deepest song, in terms of both visuals and lyrics

[@Sean-il7ko]

Oh my god slaps

[@dmore]

For a rap fan, a must listen for Soyeon is her solo track 'Is This Bad B****** Number?' (ft. BIBI & Young JI), plus (G)I-dle track 'Oh My God' (I think you already did a reaction to 'Lion' which I'd also recommend). All three for different reasons are some of Soyeon's best work. The mix and atmosphere of the latter I think will also really appeal to you production wise. There's a lot to sink your teeth into in both.

[@JiyaFarooqui]

A reaction to Is This Bad B**** Number pleaseeeee

[@sugalili6501]

Everyone saying this was Soyeon's weakest rap then you haven't heard the **UNCENSORED** version of the song (sadly only in the cd ver when i'd love to have this on my spotify playlist). This is probably her most boldest rap ever, period, and adds a lot more meaning to Tomboy and what it means for girls, especially when you read the lyrics. And the fact that she rapped in English INSTEAD of Korean is so scandalous when knowing the whole context. Don't underestimate Soyeon's songwriting capabilities just because it's not a long rap with a lot of words and it's in English guys, she never does anything halfway and I get so offended on her behalf when I see fans commenting how she shouldn't be let in the production room for the "cringe" lyrics :/

[@burdulinika2005]

You Need To Check Out "My Bag" If You Wanna Hear Actual BARS From Them

[@l.153]

Up

[@windlife]

You were right about the cigarette part. "Sometimes We Swear Without Cigarette" means that they don't have to smoking to look bad hence as their former member Soojin were attacked by her classmate saying that she smokes when she was a kid.

[@rinpotato5133]

Thank you for your reaction I think you understand well the meaning of the song: breaking stereotypes Neither man nor woman just them I-DLE

[@YJ-fx5tb]

They are one of the most artistic groups that I've ever seen. Soyeon is so amazingly talented. My favorite performance from them is Put It Straight (Nightmare ver.) which they performed in Queendom.

[@ruatsanga2684]

You nailed this reaction, seen alot of reactors not get the message behind this M/V but you got it spot on. Great work.

[@dean6p9]

This was actually, the weakest by Soyeon.. She is actually a beast..you should check these girls out... Soyeon's solo songs too. Ahhh.

[@SpacedOutVy]

Agreed!!!! Like this is freaking awesome, but she totally goes harder in other raps like Lion, Oh My God, and Uh-Oh!

[@danielgrisinger]

He's go reax up for Lion and for all of Soyeon's KDA tracks. He also reacted to 'Is This Bad B****** Number' on Patreon last week

[@lomahtw]

Guess they all are trying something new including Soyeon rapping in English. That rap is not bad at all. So be easy on her.

[@korra6572]

Yeah her besides verses on this Album are way better

[@brianr5889]

Because it was in English. The girl can rap her ass off in Korean though !!!

[@TwistDMetal]

Usually Soyeon goes hard in bsides than title tracks.

[@melissabroudin8389]

Hey Knox! I know you’ve reacted to their song Lion before, but you HAVE to react to (G)-Idle’s song “Oh my God”. The lyrics and MV (and soyeon’s rap part) are chef’s kiss👌🏼

[@laberin]

everything idle does is special and different, they're too good.

[@slyderj8600]

Welcome bro it's about time I've been trying to get you on them for months and months, Soyeon raps in every song

[@beckyvdplaat4854]

I don't think (G)-iddle has my type of music, but I really appreciate as a musician myself the music, it is really different from other groups, specifically girl groups, that I seen. Keep up the good work girls! Also I just added your intro song into my playlist!!

[@1-800-hcbrigs]

I FLIPPED WHEN I WOKE UP TO THIS !!! A Knox hill gidle reaction!!!?! ALSO okay so this song was actually kinda a dig track against the people who made soojin drop out of their group, which is p badass

[@debupal25]

9:27...never seen so much Barbie doll violence in my life...😂😂... only Idle can show you that

[@juicesghost8501]

The Rap/Sing parts for Yuqi and Miyeon are even better when you have been following them and you have seen how much flak they would take for wanting to rap but failing at it when they are messing around. Was cool to hear the girls to give it a shot on a track.

[@revelia1591]

you must check "Oh my god" it's one of the best songs from them.

[@catlover3011]

Actually, in Soyeon's rap where she says 'I like to eh on drinking whiskey' the "eh" is a censorship, in uncensored version she says 'I like to s*x on drinking whiskey'. btw, the chorus in uncensored version hits different

[@iloveyoudokyungsoo2]

You are the first Reactor that I've seen so far who can understand really well the real meaning of Gidle songs. Almost all the messages. Thanks for your great reactions.

[@sjsing9007]

You look very getting in detail both what idle wants to present and the content through the picture and sound can come out.

[@Rcst02]

I love (G)I-DLE's music so much You should listen to My Bag, HWAA or DAHLIA, Soyeon is fire in those 🔥

[@krizelcamilledechavez5039]

Try to listen on “uh oh” and “oh my god” .. they’re insane

[@k-aki9176]

This comeback is just fire, they went out for blood on this one! Do you plan to listen to the others songs of the album? They're all good, but I don't care what anyone would say, Villain Dies could be a Disney villain song for real

[@aprilsarah9238]

You should react to their other songs in the album, My Bag. They all rapping like fire!

[@PrimoREWard]

You should definitely view some more (G)I-dle songs. Like "HWAA", "Senorita", "Oh My God", "LATATA", "Last Dance", and "HANN". Those are some of my favorites that you haven't reacted to yet anyway. Also, you MUST react to more Dreamcatcher. They are probably my favorite group, there isn't one song of theirs that I dislike. I'll list out the ones I think you should do videos on though. "BEcause", "Scream", "BOCA", "Wind Blows", "Eclipse", "Break The Wall", and of course "Deja Vu". And out of love for my dear, poorly marketed/promoted RIP group; CLC. They had some really good songs, but just never got the attention they deserved (imo). Songs of theirs I recommend are "ME", "Devil", "Helicopter", "Black Dress", "Hobgoblin", "Like It", and "No". As for off the K-train lol. You should do a reaction video for the Japanese artist, LiSA. Especially her songs for Demon Slayer. Just loads of Japanese singers and bands in general. It would take way to long to list out all the ones you should check out lol. I am also certain I have heard you mention anime several times in previous videos, so you probably know for yourself. This comment is already monstrous enough, so I'll end it.

[@heartdelacruz7677]

You need to react to gidle's new song "Nxde"!!! The rap there is a BOMB. And I am excited to see you decode the meaning of the lyrics as many reactors does not seem to have any clue of what's behind the lyrics. It is inspired by Manilyb Monroe and I just love how they made the lyrics. You will be amazed by Soyeon's rap there.

[@TheZoenGaming]

As a Gen-Xer, I grew up with the punk girl and athletic/violent anti-conformist female role model in movies like Savage Streets, Class of Nuke 'Em High, Buffy, Beetlejuice, Don't Ted Mom the Babysitter' s Dead, Adventures in Babysitting, Weird Science, or Night of the Comet, and I've always been attracted to tomboys because of it. For me this MV is incredibly reminiscent of my childhood and immensely enjoyable.

[@tusjinn9274]

Does anyone else think that Soyeon is downplaying herself on purpose in this song. Coz we know and SHE knows she can eat it up! It will be a forever mystery I guess

[@I.YanaCeee]

This is what I've been saying~ her part was more of a mock~ rather firey rap

[@romelynmanuel5710]

Please react to the full version of"my bag". All members do their own rap

[@johnnyj2d3]

Soyeon is a genius and I'm not exaggerating at all, she writes, gives everyone their part and produces their title songs, it's just ridiculous, so talented. And I really love their voices because they all have their very own individual sound that makes producers be able to have a better idea on how to write songs, one of the best girl groups in K-pop

Glad you got around to (G) I-DLE! However definitely recommend other bangers; Uh-Oh (hip hop inspired), Oh My God, I’m The Trend, and if you want to hear the other members rap the recent b-side from this album My Bag is one to check out. And for Soyeon solo, Is This Bad B*** Number is a must.

For me, I still loved it, and she's actually saying stuff about the people who bullied Soojin over the internet because of the allegations against her.

[@yooralee9451]

I dont understand why ppl saying this song has weak rap part. It's the whole mood of the song. U gotta put what will work for the song, how u deliver every lines. I think it rhymes really well. The whole vibe of the song, it matches so well. 💀 i mean, not every song need fast azz rap like shinkansen. Also another thing that's important is, how the melody of the raps too. Go try rap the way she did it with the same attitude. Most will sound flat af or out of tempo/melody (well, not everyone has perfect sense of music too so understandable).

[@princeleefelix]

@Knox Hill In the uncenosred (CD) version, Soyeon says "I like to sex, on drinking whiskey". It sounds weird in the censored version.

[@tckk8902]

I love the song overall, the "Its neither man nor woman" part is stuck in my head already but yeah Soyeon can do a lot better. Her English is not fluent and her flow is so strong in Korean that when she raps in English like here it feels off, (eventhough 90% of kpop raps are exactly like this, don't @ me) but like I said not that big of a deal, I know what she's capable of, just hope she takes help from a fluent English speaker while writing lyrics in English.

[@axis1198]

Despite my appreciation that she is experimenting on english rap, I mean she already has good english rap bars in K/DA "Pop Stars", "More", and "The Baddest". As well as her solo album like in "Is this bad b*tch number?" and even in the new (G)i-dle album. I would still agree that this is her weakest rap, and my least favorite. Im also really surprised tho that Nox was able to catch on a few of Soyeon's reference because personally, this song is more of a criticism towards society's expectations towards women. Good catch!!

[@sidiquerodney4982]
