such a fun song! very unexpected from illit to me ahaha but yes tingtings also came to my mind ahahah! the MV is very unique, I have never seen that zoom in and zoom out on a simple jpg in other mvs! its so simple, but i was locked in for the whole thing! and the lyrics are very relatable :)

"I love how the zoomed-in parts of the picture feel like sasaengs or people on the internet are desperately searching for reasons to hate on them."

This with "not cute anymore" in context is just perfect

I feel like one of the Korean words in the "They call me ___" part sounding like "clone" in English had to be intentional, calling out the people who say they're a copy of a certain other group.

i was so excited when they dropped this mv— partially because i love the song and also because i wanted to hear your reaction to it lol i love the idea that even if a label is positive (princess, goddess) or even just neutral (pup, hamster), it still restricts a person’s identity and puts them in a box. who you are is so much more complex than the image others provided with. i genuinely think it’s such a beautiful message. i’m also a big fan of the choice to take the stills and zoom in on them because i feel like SO much of kpop is fans (or non-fans) taking pictures, screenshots, 2 second clips, putting clips in slow motion and using these little things to judge, make assumptions, and slander.
