An insane theory about IVE's "Baddie" MV
Музыка
I have an absolutely wild theory about IVE’s “Baddie” music video. My channel is really going to live up to its name on this one.
Hi, welcome to @overthinkingkpop. My name is Amy and I make video essays about - you guessed it! - Kpop. My goal is to create informative and accessible content designed to both introduce new fans to Kpop as well as enhance existing stans’ appreciation via thoughtful analysis and recommendations.

Whoaaa this definitely made me see baddie for how incredible it is at storytelling! Especially when the MV is very much paced like a who dun it/ fast paced mystery movie! I think my fav part of the movie would have to be the inside of the pink cathouse scenes! Gotta love a sensory overload of textures moment 😆😆😆

So actually, when I initially sat down to create a script about "Baddie," I was going to go a completely different direction with it and talk about the influence of Maximalism on the aesthetics of "Baddie," which was definitely going to include a longer section dissecting that cat house set. It was only after I started watching the video on repeat at 0.2x that I pieced together this theory. I think the video is genuinely intended to be "too much" by design and I love that about it.
This is absolutely the kind of content I'm on youtube for, love it! Another explanation for the shot of Yujin surrounded by fish in a pool could be a metaphor, for the danger she's in as the fall guy?

Perhaps! It's just such a weird choice. Whale sharks get their name because their eat plankton, not GMO decorative goldfish. 😅
This theory is incredible!!! I am 100% convinced! Do you have theory on Off The Record as well? I think IVE said in an interview (or something, can't remember) that it has a bunch of symbolism or something (again I don't remember), and I'd love to hear your thoughts!
@overthinkingkpop
Ай бұрын
Off The Record definitely has a whole bunch of religious symbolism in it. You're the second person to ask for a video dedicated to it, so I will definitely keep it on the short list!
I absolutely loved this whole theory. I'd love to see more of these in the future!

I am absolutely never going to claim to be any sort of an expert on any group's lore, but I could absolutely see some RV MV analysis happening in the future! I do already have a script written for another episode comparing Wendy and Seulgi's vocal technique, though, so we'll definitely talk about them soon either way.
i love this connection between cinema and kpop

I WAS SLEEPING WHEN THIS VIDEO DROPPED BUT THIS IS JUST PURE CRAZINESS 😂😂😂 I didn't stan Ive but *I've* always wanted to, *I've* never found the way to memorise their names and faces. I can only recognise Wonyoung and Gaeul but I'm able to differentiate after the 20 minutes of madness. Loved your version of the song. 😂❤ I totally enjoyed the heist theory and being a cat person, I might just be biased 😂 You should totally do more videos like this bit only if you want to because these videos prolly need a heck lot of ✨ EDITING ✨

It was definitely an undertaking to create a video this long, but I'm really glad it has been so well-received! IVE is one of my favorite groups so I'd really recommend checking them out. I love all of their title tracks, but they also have some great b-sides, like "섬찟 (Hypnosis)" and "Royals." I'll definitely make more deep dives in the future so thanks for tuning in.

@@overthinkingkpop I'll totally start stanning Ivr because I"ve always enjoyed their music just didn't find a way to know the members, now I do :) I'm becoming a multistan slowly but surely. It started with BlackPink like most new K-pop stans, then NewJeans debuted, few months later I decided stan them, Kiss Of Life debuted and I loved their songs too, I know about Soojin's scandal and when she debuted again as a soloist I checked her out and I love her too, through her I'm learning more about (G)I-dle (I know the members names and I can recognise them that's it but I'm enjoying their songs a lot) I also love Itzy and I used to stan them but I sorta stopped liking their music, now I'm starting to stan them again and now Ive. I'm 1000% a gg stan 👍 I need to update my PFP because Jennie's a soloist now (SLAY GIRLY ✨💅✨💅) and for Ive and Itzy after I'm a completely delusional fangirl for them too 😗
omg you are DEFINITELY cracked and insane and also definitely should make more theories. I loved the ending part sm lol😭

Thank you so much! It truly means the world coming from you. This video lived rent-free in my head for weeks and I'm really happy to see that my head cannon has been so well-received. I am going to be so curious to see if there is a feline motif in their upcoming MV, because this is three releases in a row now that have incorporated cats somewhere: the "Memories" sample in "Off The Record," the cat burglar theme in this MV, and the sun-eating tiger concept you noted in "HEYA."
There's a Korean channel who explained the mv already but on the message level. I wished more people like you got it.
