Glad to see you back Jordan, this video itself has a really deeper meaning. To breakdown symbolism that used in this video for you first off we all need to understand XG’s lore first XG themselves represent themselves as Wolf Aliens and their fandom is “Alphaz” which is wolf. So all the mask you saw any fashion related fangs/ wolf ears / tails all accessories already selected carefully. XG represents Mouth (communication/singing / rapping) Audience represents Eyes (to see / perceive) Half headed person represents haters / brainless (people who sleep on them and look down on them) At first glance you can see half headed monument which represents netizen these day that they always judge idols / having surveillance drone around themselves and try to pin point anything wrong or don’t fit with their narrative. The monument itself is huge and stand right infront of Simon Jakops like the statue looked down on him. This half headed statue can also represent people who are brainless and self centered too. The concept of this mv is about destruction, context of this mv is to destroy all the idol’s stereotypes. You can see all members break something / Jurin wearing American football outfit but also wearing skirt and breaks through the walls(i feel it represents men’s sport is not for women but XG will change those ideas) / Cocona cutting her hair with concept of idol’s hair stereotypes, hairs play major part as personal identity but Cocona shown that even i have no hair or breach my eyebrows i’m still myself/ Maya(the person who wore glasses in courtroom said i’m the Judge and Jury) - in this room there are no Judge and jury only herself and audience which mean she’s the only one who has authority to judge herself not by other people that she did right or wrong with her own choices. That’s only a glimpse for now. I did a while analysis on Twitter since this release but because i’m Alphaz that’s why i understand almost everything 🥹😅 casual listeners might not be able to catch all the symbolic subjects in here since there’s so many thing happen here. But that’s why it made this MV so interesting l!! Not only because of crazy visual but also crazy hidden meanings too❤ hope you take a look and maybe can appreciate this mv a but more 😊🙏🫶

@@12345678abracadabra Simon is not the director though it’s Cho Gi Seok who directed the video, i believe these are heavily leans towards his vision more than Simon. How it works on pre-production process is the label just discussed and gave the song to the production team and maybe explain what kind of concept they are looking for. Most of these symbolism i think came from director’s side more than Simon. Also i’m art director and i see this through my art perspective you dont need to agree. We can interpret this mv however we want, art is subjective 🙂 i won’t say i’m correct. Just the way i see it 😂

Although I acknowledge that going bald should not be a revolutionary thing, we have to take in the context of what it's in, which is the idol industry. An inustry that takes control of too much to make their idols look beautiful and perfect. Cocona's cut may be performative but it strongly sends a message. No bald caps, no wig cutting. Straight up being a badass.

This music video is POWERFUL because it tells a story about a wolf pack, XG, and their leader, Simon, who starts things off. They confront a leader full of stereotypes, portrayed as a mindless, self-centered president with a headless tower and a worshipped portrait of him. Each member of XG, along with the masked wolves (probably, XGALX team) attacks the tower from different angles, showcasing their unique personalities and strengths, and leaving a clear message about their talent and power as a group. "Woke Up" is definitely XG being true to their brand in the music scene, breaking stereotypes, making a big impact, and being Xtraordinary as always. 🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺

[@gilbertgaines672]

They are a wolf pack. So like wolves that see at night. Their eyes glow when the light at night hits their eyes. Also wolves see in inferred. The reason for the inferred cut scenes.

[@acgeewhiz]

That’s cool and all, but 1) it’s actually “INFRAred” not “INFERred”, 2) wolves in no way have that ability, and 3) none of those shots are from their POV, which would be how they see.

[@acgeewhiz]

In all likelihood, there may be several things combining for why they have those shots. 1) It just looks different and cool. 2) Many times wolves are filmed in night vision (often green shaded) because they’re often semi nocturnal. 3) A common editing trick to show “non human POV” is to shift color or use some sort of infrared style. 4) One of the most famous alien series in cinema (The Predator) has their hunters use infrared POV, so while these shots are not POV, many people associate a thermal POV with alien hunters. But I’m not the director/editor, so these are just guesses. Sick shots in an amazing music video, regardless.

I think the monument he said looks like King Kong... actually looks like part of a head... nose with two nostrils, mouth, chin, and base as neck. Looking at an upward angle. Also, the man in blue suit with half of head in Maya's part in MV represents corporate music executives and haters who doubted them and their ability to perform rap, R&B, and Hip-Hop genres. There were some things you were able to show that I didn't see before

[@24yeffinakawarjri24]

Gonna have to disagree because he has a wolf mask which ties in with the fandom Alphaz. If anything he represents the first alphaz the first fan of xg.

1:50 ​​@@24yeffinakawarjri24I just want to clarify. I am not talking about the man with Alphaz mask that is Simon . I meant the part of the monument that he said looks like King Kong looks like nose and top half of a head. Then in the Maya's part there is a man with half a head then explodes. I made changes to the original post...so there isn't any confusion. Thanks for the reply.

the view counts and their talents are VERY heavily skewed against them. not gonna even talk about the group themselves, just the song itself is one of the best so far in 2024. hard beats with crazy raplines, but i guess a full hip hop rap song will never generate as many views as Pop songs in general. but thats what i like about XG, its not all about what is the most popular, they do whatever the hell they want. about the video, thnank you so much it was very insightful and i have subscribed. keep it up! lets go XG!

[@kingbyouchoob2488]

People should never compare XGs views with K-pop groups. K-pop does “massive” ad payola and a huge % of their MV views are inorganic. The actual verified data is out there on that. That’s how K-pop MVs always get those 100000000000000000 views. XG ranks at the top of groups with “organic” views. XG also is not backed or supported by knetz and K-pop fandoms whose literal lifestyle is 24/7 streaming culture. XGs fandom also skews older who don’t “stream 24/7” (families/careers) unlike most K-pop groups whose fandoms are much younger

[@zy479]

Little note to Hinata's part, the theme storywise is about a butterfly breaking through its cocoon. The shattered mirror is like the broken part of cocoon. She is like a caterpillar standing in the middle with strings or silk attached to her. The strobe light turing on and off is like the light of the outside world breaching through the cocoon when it's been breaking apart. Then the headshot blending scene just mimics an insect silhouette. And then there is that butterfly background image. Woke up looking like a blue morpho.

[@tsuruya-sonozaki]

I think the scene at 20:44 is they're keying out different sections of both shots, then just fading them in and out. The other effect they put with it I think is some kind of warping effect but I'm not sure what it's called. It looks similar to that effect that like, crushes an image into itself that a lot of people were using for memes a few years ago, but only using it very lightly. Looks almost like an artistic filter like a paintbrush filter might have been used a bit as well. I only do casual editing so I might be wrong but if this answers your question or gives you an idea of what it might actually be then great!

XG's Multicultural Concept is one not seen before. WOKE UP is their most rap-focused single yet, essentially doing away with the idea of a melodic hook. 808 bass infused with sounds unique to East Asia. First time all 7 members Rapping together for the first time. Part of XG Artistry Concept they're Alien Space Wolves pack from another Universe Galaxy. XG Alien Storyline concept wasn't established until Shooting Star [3rd] video released 2023. Starting from Shooting Star [3rd] video up to WOKE UP [11th] video are XG Alien Concept Storyline.

[@MidnightStarCat]

Thank you so much for reacting!!! Been waiting on your video since the mv dropped

[@ApexAreHardGame]

When I first saw the MV back in May, five seconds in I was right back in GRL GVNG land. And, sure enough: WOKE UP has same Director: Cho Gi-Seok; same Editor: CGS Studios & Park jisu. Which made me promise time and space for another lovely Lets-Single-Frame-An-XG-Video session. (Because GRL GVNG has some sweet one and two-frame moments, some of which I think you showed in your reaction back then.) Your analysis here drove me to finally do that tonight for WOKE UP. The details in there boggle the mind. Also, I've been watching a lot of Reaction to WOKE UP. After single-framing it tonight, I have to wonder: Do the reactors realize how much frame-dropping goes on in their re-renders? Man. If you watch only reactions chances are you miss some interesting detail. Like, single-framing, it is perfectly clear, at the end of her first verse, 00:39, HARVEY makes her kamikaze into the Edifice of the Brainless, not into some meaningless lump. (A detail I've not seen in the reactors' playbacks) And then, right after that, there's an 18-frame black and white low-angle shot of HARVEY amid aerial fireworks. She searches, does not smile. A strangely poignant liminal space. (Another moment missed all along.) I missed many of the Take-A-Bite transitions, too. Nice to finally see it all and appreciate the vision and work in it. There's some oddly annoying grain showing in the "dolly back" on COCONA at the end of her first verse. Makes me think it wasn't an original dolly-shot at all, but a noisy post push-in reversed. Or something. The noise adds nothing, so... shooting high ISO in low light? Also, at 01:22, think that loss of focus an accident? They wouldn't have AF would they? Because it looks like JURIN's right hand broke the whole focus. But then they might be setting up the focus shift on the scene for the next verse? Lot of that sort of musicality elsewhere in the process. Anyway. Thanks for the eyes and mind again. These technical perspectives satisfy.
