KPOP's BEST FEMALE RAPPER | Waleska & Efra React/Review (G) Idle's Soyeon

[@HambebeNeverLulubog]

soyeon write and produces a whole album!!

[@nevy7097]

Soyeon is a beast. She's the 5th most credited idol in 4th gen as a producer/ song-writer/ composer with +60 songs. She's the first and only female (so far) who wrote an album by herself (I TRUST which u guys reacted to). She's been writing songs since she was in the middle school and she's shown her passion for rap since predebut through survival shows like PD101 and Unpretty Rapstar. Idk how she does all of this while still having to promote and do interviews and photoshoots.. it must be exhausting but it's her passion. Oh and fun fact: when Soyeon was a trainee she had to diss their CEO if I'm not mistaken and guess what... she did lmao Another fun fact: 12:34 I think she was wearing one of the rings she won on Unpretty Rapstar

[@NJDMashups]

The thing about her solo stage at the MMA, is that entire verse was completely freestyle. I think it was on a live where she mentioned it but she had forgotten what she intended to rap for it and just decided “eh. I’ll just freestyle something.”

[@lshe97]

Important to note that she hates that performance _because_ of that freestyle (rappers aren't supposed to forget their own lyrics, after all) so this wasn't a case of her bragging.

[@NJDMashups]

@@lshe97 Ah. Did not know about that part....or probably forgot about that. Also didn't mean to imply that she was bragging about it so I apologize for my wording. I do see the irony that she doesn't like the performance that many fans like. Personally, I find it impressive. I'm not too knowledgable in rap/hip-hop so I don't know if it's a general thing with rappers or specifically in Korean Rap, that rappers compensating forgotten lyrics with freestyle is considered a very bad thing

[@sduncan2082]

Check out Soyeon "Bad B**** Number" It also Features Bibi and Lee Young-ji (who is an amazing rapper also) You might have seen Young-ji in Beam Beam in the "Dance Fight"

[@crazyr2113]

Lee Youngji is 🔥

[@BansheePurple]

Her solo at the MMAs was freestyle in some parts, I got chills cuz it's literally so good. Soyeon killed it.

[@smol_rh]

Finally!!! Queen SOYEON so true, this girl is something else, we need more Kpop bada$$, she is the best.

[@niaastankova6567]

Soyeon is a breath of fresh air within the 4th generation, considering that each time the groups are more superficial and no longer give importance to the quality of the music (with VERY few exceptions) Plus: the best rapper of her generation. Without exaggeration, she has no competition.

[@Ahjusshi_Brown]

Soyeon is easily the best female rapper in 4th Gen and of all female rappers in currently active kpop groups It’s really no competition imo

[@nabszains]

Soyeon, MoonByul, Jessi, CL and Dami are some of the best rappers of kpop, period all of them write too

[@jaejae1203]

I was just also checking out Soyeon yesterday and she’s talented AF. But I also came across another fem krapper who was featured in one of Soyeon’s song in her album together with BIBI. Her name is Lee Young Ji. She won in a show called High School Rapper 3. I’m not sure if she also writes her own stuff but I can say that she’s a really great rapper especially at her age (19yo). She can also sing and dance. You guys should check out ‘Is This Bad B**** Number?’ live on Dingo. It’s the one she did with Soyeon and BIBI. That one is just fire. Oh and watch out for her tone coz it’s real good.

[@ELmayberry]

OMG.. I hope they react to their performance

[@MaferPan]

A (G)I-DLE special would be great as their comeback is in a few days, 14th March! :D it’s a full album!!

[@HambebeNeverLulubog]

the third clip is all freestyle.. she said in a vlive(correct me if im wrong) that she forgot that part so she just freestyled it

[@cxmifr]

soyeon is the best female kpop rapper in the game rn no one is doing it like her!

[@ainunpratiwi2085]

Soyeon was 19 when she's debut solo and 20 when debut in gidle. If you look for "soyeon Hannah Montana" on Twitter, you will find the behind the scene where she was in highschool and goes to be trainee idol after school

[@hezkis2502]

Soyeon is just soo talented shes soo amazinggg

[@subhangiroongta3669]

i love your reactions and would love it if you would do a gidle special since gidle is making a comeback on 14th march with their first full album I Never Die which includes songs produced and written by soyeon, yuqi and minnie.

[@annna_idd147]

In the show unpertty rap star no stages were freestyle all were pre written and prepared before the stage as they were told who they are going against, but while watching the show soyeon blow my mind she is so talented

[@AmadanMath]

There was a freestyle bit when they were introducing each other - but other than that, yes, they wrote their stuff beforehand. I believe they had a day (or at least an evening) to write the battle rap; some stages had as little as three hours to come up with their verses, so it was quite tough, but it was not freestyle.

[@HambebeNeverLulubog]

you should react to more of soyeon's rap

[@MaferPan]

Please react to Soyeon’s performance of “Is this bad b**** number?” It features BiBi and Lee Young-ji, it’s one of her best raps ever that’s not on this video

[@clariceangelabatistil6818]

Jessi also participated on Unpretty rapstar season 1(Soyeon was on 3rd season) and she ended up 1st runner up..If you wanna check out the winner her name was Cheetah(she coached Soyeon on Produce 101)

[@layzoe2932]

yes gidle will comeback in 3.14 I'm so excited to listen her new rap

[@abcdefghij_lm_opqrstu_w_yz5247]

t think her best verse is in K/da the baddest. It's freaking fireeee

[@OutOfPocket-h9e]

Nah, she didn't write that verse so I wouldn't say it's her best. Her best is either Lion, Pyscho or Is This Bad B*** Number. Idle is coming back so she may have better verses.

[@TwistDMetal]

At #5, you should watch the whole battle. There's a lot of tension way before that battle and the outcome was murder. Coolkid cap girl didn't spit for 3 or more lines and choked.

[@TwistDMetal]

10+ mins about Jeon Soyeon? Yeah I'm here for it!

[@Ahjusshi_Brown]

I think Soyeon is easily the best female rapper in kpop (4th Gen) I can’t say overall bc there were actual underground female rappers in Kpop like LE from EXID that wrote and produced for her group and other groups (she also taught Hyuna how to rap) BUT I put Soyeon probably top 3 overall

[@deleine3916]

Pls react to soyeons live perf psycho on radio show, is this bad b****** number and her performance in sketchbook. Soyeon is an ace she dance, sing, rap, produce, choreographs, and a mentor

[@YoZentrus]

12:42 whoops, accidentally skipped the Dalla rap in a panic at the noise bomb 😂 I think this video could use an updated version. Even though it's cool to look back at her early days, Soyeon has much better raps than most of these

[@rinpotato5133]

Soyeon always* writes her rap and writes (lyrics, composition and sometimes arrangement) of most of her group (G)I-DLE songs, she even produces for others (CLC, Namjoo, CAP-TEEN show...) - Since her first survival show (produce 101) she declares that she doesn't want to rap others lyrics and so writes herself - She can freestyling almost as easily as she breath many clips of random interviewers or friends or even mentors asking her to do, and she does easily - But need to point out for the diss rap at the beginning of the video it was written before as all contestants, but she literraly shut up her oposant here... - for Unpretty Rapstar survival show she was the youngest (18yo) yet one of the best rapper (3rd runner up but actually acclaimed by all contestants) - since 2018 she is the rapper of KDA (kpop project of League of legend) though she does not writes for theses songs (*it is quite rare that she does not write her rap but happens for projects outside her scope) - she is the fastest kpop female idol at rap (beat the record in 2019 for Queendom show introduction) - she is well recognised as both rapper and music producer by her peers - in 2021 she became a teacher for survival show contestants and incited them to write their own rap for the rap battle - in 2022 she released a song where she wrote the raps for her members, her members are not rappers but she manages to make them doing really right: MY BAG is awesome - she is recognized as one of the best female rapper in kpop for Korean rap, and recently starts to rap in English, TOMBOY is the first song where she wrote the rap fully in English (other full English raps from her until now were translation by English speakers)

[@kianapak3825]

Moonbyul also writes most of her verses and mamamoo as a group write most of their songs But i loove soyeon

[@isbomanisha9539]

N also moonbyul is one of the most names in song writers in female history

[@tasha199415]

A good Korean show about rappers is called High School Rapper, a rapper named Haon aka Noah was in season 2, he got his start on this show.

[@Yoru15127]

I have never met a female rapper as fierce as her in my life! This chic is a straight up beast and she fucking slaps!

[@HambebeNeverLulubog]

in that diss battle (the first vid) cool kid forgot all her rap verses... so that's why she reacted like that and even soyeon is disappointed

[@chonasaur]

i'd also love for you to check out more of moonbyul! she's the most credited female rapper in 3rd gen kpop and the second most credited female rapper in all of kpop (credits pertaining to the count of songs she has written and/or composed officially registered under komca)! i do have a fun video to recommend tho: pls check out *[ENG] moonbyul babysitting 18 rbw kids for 10 mins (211229 moon night radio highlights)* kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaCZfIqOf8yLmZI

Soyeon is legendary, a genius

[@pangkouxiong1244]

I don't know much about music or rap but I just think Soyeon keeps it interesting.

[@alexis.george]

I came here for the Soyeon appreciation (and I got it) but I LOVE LOVE LOVE the mention of the BTS rap line because they're so iconic 🔥 Having such a powerful unit of rappers truly helped BTS rise to the top

[@yillakrouwer4347]

Soyeon was 16-17 during unpretty rapstar (American age)

[@pigeonheadspace]

⚡⚡If the topic is best female rappers, you guys shouldn't miss out on LE from EXID. She was a part of an underground hiphop group before joining EXID so that's a testament to her skills. She was Hyuna's rap teacher as well. LE and Soyeon are both beasts. Soyeon with more experience would definitely be on LE's level. ⚡⚡

[@LiveLoveLaugh102310]

She's one of the best kpop rappers around. She writes and produces too. What a beast.

[@tian_rui]

There is a lot of talented female rappers but sadly they r not promoted as well as the boys. So yeon is a gem. And you should def check out one of my favs, Giant Pink, she was also the winner of tht 3rd season of unpretty rap star. GIRL POWER

[@mariabeatriz8126]

During Unpretty Rapstar it seems that they received the task the day before and performed the other, they basically only had the night and part of the day. But she said she always worked during the night, I think probably because she had classes during the day

[@vz6248]

Soyeon supremacy

[@dianan4921]

Soyeon really is a beast !! I can’t wait to hear more raps from her Gidle is having a comeback soon on March 14th with their first album called I Never Die you can check the audio snippet here : kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJquhYejmdhorZI

[@TwistDMetal]

She said in her vlive or somewhere, before recording a song she writes her rap a day before or on the same day of recording.

[@itachilimbu3752]

Soyeon is best kpop rapper PERIOD

[@MelMoui]

If you want to watch korean freestylers I have a few I like - Olltii (he wowed the juges in smtm6, it's sometimes hard to believe that he is freestyling) - Seo Chulgu (he appeared on smtm too) - H2adin (he did really good one in High School Rapper season one, unfortunately it's hard to find the subtitles for the performance, you may have to search for the hsr episode)

[@CJ-83]

Soyeon queen, true she isnt only for female, but one of the top idol rapper in general

[@rinpotato5133]

"Fun" facts 5. Her opponent forgot her lyrics face to Soyeon aggressive rap (the raps here are not freestyle) 4. She got the best score and chosen for the actual track, her rap titled the official track: Scary (with Nada) 3. It is a freestyle, she forgot the lyrics (she feels bad about that) so she just freestyle 2. $$$ where she "only" wrote her rap, she was told to write anything she want and so she casually brought out her otaku self 1. It is a double battle, two/three fun facts: - she beat all contestants while she just had to beat her partner on stage, her opponent whole lost face Soyeon, actually beat all other contestants - every point she stated as that moment she realised as (G)I-DLE: she is rapper, singer, songwriter, main director (she brings the concepts and make sure it fits right), sometimes the choreographer

Ok but can we just take a moment to appreciate waleska's look today. The shade of pink looks so good on her and her makeup and the accent of jewelry just compliments her.

[@crazyr2113]

You should check out Yezi's "killing voice" on her own youtube channel. She is fire and fast as hell. Her flow is sick. And she has this kind of aggression which soyeon has as well. Please check her out, she's pretty underrated even though she's one of the top rappers. And her vocals are great as well ♥ And she was on unpretty rapstar too and killed it.. I'd die for a Soyeon x Yezi collab

Mhmm, I love Yezi too Most probably wouldn’t even know abt her (outside of Unpretty)

Fun Fact: CL never used to write her own lyrics when she was in 2NE1 (she told us in an interview after 2NE1 had disbanded). It’s not like she never tried, it’s just that YG never approved/green lit them. She does write her lyrics now tho.

[@seablobblobblob1832]

Yes, it's really sad, at least she is free now

[@blablabla633]

Yes she really have to fought hard to be able to put her own lyrics & composition on 2NE1’s songs, like Crush, If I were you & baby i miss you. Thanks God she didn’t give up and eventually made it. And thank for Choice37 & Deep.E for let her using their beats. But she did participated in writing lyrics for the baddest female, mtbd, the leaders (feat. GD & Teddy), WHAT (YMGA’s song), Hello B, and Lifted, her solo stuff basically, we can see the credits on KOMCA, her ID is W0982500

[@kerokerokirby1969]

I think in Unpretty Rapstar, if it isnt a battle stage, then it isn't freestyle. The rest of their performances, they have written their lyrics either an hour before, a few hours before, or the day before the performance. One of the former contestants of the show, who is now a youtuber, revealed and explained this in her video.

[@Xme2555]

[@perryperry9002]

Finally Soyeon!

[@stellarkym]

Soyeon is already a legend.

[@AmadanMath]

"That's a hurt person if I've ever seen one" - you are 100% right. IIRC Soyeon didn't know anything about Cool Kid (the battle rap opponent) except the basics: she came from YG, she was dropped into UR3 mid-season after some people were already eliminated, and she came in cocky; she was researching and trying to think what to write for her battle rap the whole evening before. But after Soyeon's first round, Cool Kid fell apart on her first line, and after the first four beats stopped rapping. After a while, the music stopped. Soyeon was pissed - she wanted to win, but not by default. The second round went about the same way, Cool Kid never recovered. I'm sure she was a good rapper, but she could not manage the stress of the competition and Soyeon's intensity. "You need a really relaxed body to maintain the most easy breath flow possible" - man... you really need to check out I-DLE's My Bag live :D Some other female Kpop rappers known to always write their own stuff include Yuki of Purple Kiss (even though she's Japanese!), Moonbyul of Mamamoo, Yeeun of CLC, LE of EXID, and I think also Exy of WJSN and Mimi of Oh My Girl as well write all or most of their stuff. I still think Soyeon is on top, but she is not nearly the only female Kpop rapper who writes her rap.

[@Ahjusshi_Brown]

Personally, I don’t consider Jessie a kpop idol/ kpop rapper. She’s kind of a hybrid to me. She exists in both industries.
