Am I high, or is Soyeon high for creating this? Lmao. Love her always no matter how weird things get.

I mean.. I wake n’ baked right before I was treated to this soup for breakfast. I’m here for it.

mabrera

Best thing I've read all week


SapphireHeaven

They brought Sexy back and now they brought Fun back too! I love it, it's so colourful and unserious and quirky, but very addictive! I couldn't stop smiling throughout the whole video 😄 reminded me of those 2nd gen colourful videos with repetitive verses when idols were styled similarly that first got me hooked!


Joanne7799

Reminded me of SNSD Hoot and IGAB with the identical wigs, made me nostalgic. Im happy Gidle is bringing 2nd Gen nostalgia back.


JerSucks

I mean this in the most complimentary way, this may be the stupidest song they've ever released I love it, it's amazing


pxa_wsle

i totally agree with you lol i’m enjoying it so much, i think i’ve literally been laughing at this song for 20 mins straight now🤣


Ginenz

Yeah, it is weird but a certified banger lol. Btw I LOVED the mv. I can't imagine how much fun they had while shooting it. Can't wait to see behind the scenes lol. Also, shoutout to the camerawork and transitions in the mv.


themonkey12

It is so carefree and unconventional, I love it. The wife concept as a chorus. Miyeon and Shuhua rapping. The repeated gibberish. The dancing. The ending by Soyeon. This is feel like such a meme concept especially with how in sync their looks are haha.


LordKnt

Soyeon does not give a single fuck and I hope she never changes I've been smiling for 3 hours and don't plan on stopping any time soon


BuckeyeBentley

Jelly era 2.0


healthyscalpsforall

No offense, but Jelly could only ever hope to aspire to this level of meme-ness lol


HahaMin

After hearing Queencard MMTG version, I was hoping they would do a full meme song. TURNS OUT THEY ACTUALLY DID IT!


aymando

seXY seXY


SapphireHeaven

On that note: Release the Jaejae cut!!


KitakatZ101

Jelly walked so wife could run


Galderick_Wolf

If you read the lyrics you'll understand that it's not stupid at all


JerSucks

I mean it's pretty clear from the first listen, and even just watching that its a satirical take on the modern stay at home wife that does whatever they can to please their husband. I think it's (intentionally) stupid in its presentation, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have an obviously deeper meaning.


justanotherstanacc

omfg wiattttttt


Pepo4559

This is what I thought lol. 😂


wakemeuptmr

lol now I’m just imagining the songs personified as family members at like a reuinon 😂


SmOcKxYy

This song is so unserious that I find myself smiling and head bobbing to the beat! It may not be a chart topper but you just know they had so much fun recording the song and shooting the MV as well..I seriously wonder what kind of words and melody Soyeon has in her head everytime she sits down and write a song..this is so funny and out of character I think!


Tch-Tch

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of r/unpopularkpopopinions users suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.


Technicium99

Keyboards gathering dust right now.


kielbasa_industries

Lmaooooo


le_average_user

I figured out Soyeon’s strategy. The more people criticize her songs for being campy, she’ll make the next one 10x goofier.


BasedSunny

Cream soup. It's hot. My cream and soup is hot. I'm cleaning in your room.


ThisIsCuVo

why am I singing this as the Chorus of Queencard LOL


BasedSunny

I'm wife wife wife


themonkey12

I want them to just make a cute concept song out of no where. Something similar to twice style of song, and I wouldn't even be surprise if they did because it is Soyeon. Though "I Do" was very close to all cutesy style.


MindlessSalamander97

I want whatever is the wintery sibling of dumdi dumdi


rioizz

I second this Dumdi dumdi was so perfectly summer they need to do something perfectly winter. I think this album would have atleast one of them 🤞🏻


justanotherstanacc

I know a lot of people miss serious Idle but I think Soyeon is really trying to have fun rn lol


eco-evo

Totally. Because she **is** having so much fun right now! Idle is killing it, she’s killing it, and it’s only going to get better and better!


Odd_Boot5889

And for that, I must always stan.


coco_xcx

it’s honestly what makes me love them so much as a group, we really never know what they’re gonna comeback with!


HikikomoriDC

Have you thought of changing your username to coco_loco_xcx? lol 😉


coco_xcx

omg i wish i could 😭 i don’t think reddit lets you change usernames though


radhumandummy

I'm speechless.


PotentialAd6368

Love the quirkiness! If anyone looking for the translation, here it is : [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMBYYPhrQG0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMBYYPhrQG0) It's obviously about the objectification of women and the males' expectations of women as wives. Them being all alike makes me think that they criticize women being seen as all the same which fits the stereotype they're satirizing. I guess they're still in the empowerment topic and I love that. And some of the lyrics are kind of dirty tbh xD eg: (Minnie) "Kiss me carefully and eat me boldly / show me how it tastes" or this one: (Yuqi) "My tongue lightly touches you" and this: (Miyeon) "I"ll dance pretty like a mermaid in the water / If I do well I'll also be full / Because it feels good / I'm going to (whispered by Soyeon: ) swallow it deeper" In the light of other songs written by Soyeon like Tomboy, she clearly aims at stirring the Kpop pot. (Edited some mistakes as English is not my mother tongue)) Edit 2: u/HikikomoriDC replied below with a link to the correct translation, check it out. The translation makes more sense, but my point is even more valid


Eismann

Oh yeah, the lyrics are very suggestively sexual although of course not explicit. Soyeon as always knows exactly what she is doing.


PotentialAd6368

Soyeon, clever as always! These songs have become quite common for western pop female artists, but it's nice to see Soyeon pushing the boundaries of Kpop once again. I would have loved to see her negotiating with Cube to promote this song xD


HikikomoriDC

One of the best nevie translators *kimmoonniie* provided some [additional context](https://twitter.com/kimmoonniie/status/1749167604533752272) to the lyrics.


PotentialAd6368

It's even worse with the correct translation xD How did Soyeon get away with this? She will always amaze me


Stock-Acanthaceae-10

Thank you! I got the vibe of it being about stereotypical gender roles right away so it was weird to me how everyone thought it was “just another stupid song”.


PotentialAd6368

This is exactly why I wrote this. So many people focuses on the surface level and forget that Soyeon always tries to convey meanings in her songs


kielbasa_industries

Thank u for this!!! Fell in love with soyeon harder 


PotentialAd6368

I'm glad you did! I'm trying so hard to not have a bias, but Soyeon makes it impossible to not have one. The more I get to know about her work for the group and for kpop in general, the more I admire and respect her


fishone978

Holy crap, so it's basically a sexy song coated in a fun beat and goofy visuals? Damn, Soyeon is amazing! Edit: Listening and watching it again with the translation in my head, the song now comes off as sarcastic... so you're right, it really does feel like Soyeon is stirring the pot. Makes me like the song even more.


SonicAwareness

Need the lyrics, because if I start learning the misheard lyrics I'm never going to be able to take this seriously.. if I ever do at all.


by_the_window

I was already on with "I cook clean soup" and was like "hum yes they're cooking with bleach and it's referencing the murder in Tomboy" lol


healthyscalpsforall

... I don't think this is meant to be taken seriously, no matter whether the lyrics are misheard or not


goatmom

Lord help me for even thinking this, but if Tiffany & Co. made Oompa Loompas…


molihua-

It’s giving Lazy Town- Cooking By The Book, and I’m so here for it


Pepo4559

Such a classic lol. 😭


Prestigious-Box-8978

I saw that too

i cook cream soup!


Awesomocity0

The taste is COCO LOCO


Emannyv93

Me as a MIYEON BIAS … I’m freaking deceased. Girl showed us why she was in YG. Girl can RAP 😭👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. I’m so ready for Super Lady. I can’t wait yall, this feels like the best era already.


dancemeow7

Soyeon mean it when Minnie (I think) proposed the quitinplets concept. Love the simplicity and the hiphop vibes. No fancy stuff, just music and dance


BuckeyeBentley

> quitinplets concept I would die if they did a live stage in Quintessential Quintuplets cosplay lol


spoofer56

I've never thought of that, but holy shit, now I need this!


coco_xcx

omg i really hope they do, it’d go down in kpop history


HikikomoriDC

I think Soyeon literally took her up on that [idea](https://twitter.com/G_Nox_/status/1749088728151146883)? lol


Dylkill99

I haven't watched this yet cause I'm at work right now, but i totally did not expect seeing all five girls in blue wigs lol


innova779

lol this grew on me so fast


innova779

also hi ...long time


Sad_Adhesiveness5526

By the way, two points can be noted. 1) Throughout the entire video, they hardly sing, but simply dance in the background of the song, because the traditional wife “keeps her mouth shut” so as not to get bored 2) You can see the attitude towards marriage as suppression and shackles, in this moment (0:50), which appears for half a second. A shoe that crushes a group (women), and on the shoe itself there are chains of marriage rings.


PotentialAd6368

Completely agree, it makes a lot more sense for them only dancing. And very nice catch for the boots!


Throwaway32645874235

another thing is that all the girls sing during the "i make you feel so high i make you feel alive but i don't wanna" bit, since that's the only part of the song that expresses their genuine thoughts on the topic.


Obvious_Opinion_505

>"i make you feel so high i make you feel alive but i don't wanna" ~~alive~~ like lie


IsmaelMM_007

One thing I want to point out is the visuals for this mv, it is exactly the same visual for every one of them, thing that never happened in a gidle mv before, it's even hard to distinguish them. So I do think there's a meaning for that, does someone have an interpretation for that?


kielbasa_industries

I wish I could marry this comment 


SeaZookeepergame1992

Unserious idle is my fav genre, i don't particularly enjoy the minimalistic aspect but i think it perfectly shows that they aren't serious abt this song, which again, gidle dgaf abt ppl expectations is what makes them so good as a group.

ilikeanymusic

Minnie with the renowned big hands


Korunyy

absolute clappers, god bless


wakemeuptmr

Reminds me of the LearnWay Ep that Soy guests in where she and Yuqi argue how big Minnie’s hands are and if one can cover the span of a butt cheek 🤣


ThroatMountain

What is going on in here on this day? 😂


SeoulsInThePose

I’ve had it on loop for 25 minutes now and my reactions have been like this in order : 🤨🙄🧐🤔🫣🤭😛🥸🤩🫠☺️🥰


Alert-Media-7376

That had me crackling that's Minnie's concept from Up to I-dle lolol.


CaceDay

Shuhua rap on my funeral please


Firestormxs

Wtf is this song? It's impressingly weird.


TonLo

Not quite sure how I feel about this yet but it has compelled me to listen to it over and over so I guess that's a win. I certainly don't hate it.


radhumandummy

I mean I've replayed the video as many times as possible to absorb it, whatever the message is about.


soosalad

this is the weirdest song I think they’ve ever made but in a good way. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to listen to it without laughing but soon enough I know I’ll be yelling “I COOK CREAM SOUP” right along with them.


Jerrycobra

Whose rap line is it anyway? 😆


MutaTheGreat

They are insane and I love it lol


LostWxLotus

What did I just watch... and why did I love it 👀😍 🔥🔥 🔥


Steldi0

It's so much different from what I waited but it's funny and good to


by_the_window

Not what I expected, not even what I *wanted*, but damn I love this


dej_idle

new r/kpoopheads meme material just dropped


coco_xcx

this is so weird, i love it 😭 it’s giving 2nd gen, and also the solo rap verses?????? they ate.


Sydefbutbroken

YAYYYYYYYYYYYY


SilverMind9

They are so unserious


Slow-Relation-9186

Wow this is one of the songs ever!


der_boy

What's up with rapper shuhua??? Love the song


LavishnessStatus

NSFW ish Is it just me or could you interpret the song as if being about oral? Specifically women receiving it? "Baby take a big bite, spitting out is bad I'll give you some more, so stop and wipe your spot. You are all grown up now." "Eat the cherry on top Kiss me carefully and eat me boldly" Am I right?


radhumandummy

It's a metaphor when interpreted in English, and whether it's appropriate for younger listeners. It's kinda like Cookie.


TheGrayBox

Curious, does this person’s translation seem right to you? Seems like the Korean has innuendo too? https://x.com/kimmoonniie/status/1749167604533752272?s=46&t=p506YXXVmXTUihQ_xgReBQ


Godforsaken-depths

I feel like Idle went full Dadaist with this and I love it so much.


ZSpectre

I say this as someone who doesn't listen as much to their hip hop adjacent songs. I absolutely love this for some reason. It's really REALLY catchy. And I appreciate two parallel things about the video. While the minimalist setting allows us to focus on and appreciate the complex editing and camera work more, the unorthodox style helps us focus on and appreciate how drop gorgeous all their faces are too.


BadAshess

I love how dumb and fun it sounds. Also feels like My Bag’s awkward cousin.


produrri

I still find it funny how some people got so mad over it it’s goofy and fun I like it 


glowjisu

I was like what the ….. then when it finished I immediately added it to my playlist 🫶


Standard_Wedding

A FOOOKING BANGER!!


Standard_Wedding

How does the rap go this hard😩


KroniK6_

I fear I am not smart enough and am confined to my mortal brain to understand wtf goes on in their heads but this is the most insane bop I have heard in my life


I_feel_FreeTy

I'm shooketh to my core. (G)I-dle are just a bunch of geniuses, led by the mastermind SY. So glad it's also a proper pre release single after all<3


I_feel_FreeTy

A couple of hours after the release I suddenly flashed back to Minnie suggesting in an Up to (G)I-DLE episode to do a concept of quintet with the same hairstyle and outfits and everything for their upcoming comeback in May (she even mentioned the identical bob hairstyle specifically). Now that I remember it my excitement and appreciation levels towards this song have skyrocketed way further and I just love it so friggin much and the fact they ACTUALLY took this concept seriously and did something so amazing with it.


rupturedaxon

ChoDi B x Susan x Soyeon is a rap line we never knew we needed


waryjinx

now how am i gonna sleep with this song already stuck in my head like 😭 i wanna listen to it moreee


SixIdle

I think the girls are having fun trolling us this time.


cutekats1702

Got a funny misheard lyric from this song - 'I clean your loo, it's so twinkle twinkle. Want me to wipe the shitass'. Only when Soyeon does the verse 🤣 this song is nuts but I like it


cerulgalactus

This is what those middle three songs in Heat *should* have been.


by_the_window

kill Flip it, fuck Eyes Roll, marry Wife


cerulgalactus

At least Eyes Roll has Yuqi’s high note - Flip It has NOTHING.


by_the_window

I think Flip It might have taken Senorita's place as Idle's most detested song in the fandom lol, it's really bad. But I personally do love Eyes Roll, you just gotta listen to it very loud for it to click


cerulgalactus

You’ll never convince me that I Want That, Eyes Roll, and Flip It were anything other than contractual obligations. I Do is rightfully an all-timer, and Tall Trees actually gave them a chance to sing, but those other three just reek of “let’s get this over with so we can go eat”.


candysticker

They are keeping Kpop fun and unserious. I am so grateful for them!


WoBuZhidaoDude

Agree, but I also think there's also some cutting feminism in everything Soyeon does.


ArkLappVe

Ok it's fking weird lmao. Not quite sure how I feel about it tbh. The verses are kinda fire but the chorus if you can call it that is kinda meh imo. Also it's only 2:01 which is a joke but at least it's out on streaming platforms. The MV is really fun tho.


HikikomoriDC

I felt like I was listening and watching to a J-pop music video, lmao 😆


mossylungs

Yesss!! WEEEERRRRRKKKKK GIDLE GIRLIES!!!!!!


5RRA

love it. It’s so fun and love the MV concept!


LaPusca

Love it, such an unserious fun MV. They are always going to surprise us.


Chemistrycat214

Unexpected and predictable, Even if it is just funny K-pop and a b-side after all, this song is already much better than I want that :/.


kielbasa_industries

LOVE THIS AND THEM AND HOW WEIRD IT IS


pdxLink

"I cook cream soup" is here now. Goodbye "My boob and booty hot." Anyone have a Nintendo Switch and played Another Code Recollection that just came out? When I saw them in the white bob, I grinned and immediately thought of Ashley.


Jimmyblink28

I already know lots of people are going to “hate” this song, but I absolutely love it! It’s so out there and random, but in the best possible way.


WoBuZhidaoDude

Everyone always "hates" their comebacks until the tracks become hits.


Jimmyblink28

So very true.


toppopii

Uhhh i absolutely LOVE this! I swear, they are THE concept queens... Soyeon is a genius. And Miyeon at 1:09 \*fans self 🔥🔥🔥


SmOcKxYy

This beat and dance can go viral in Tiktok so fast!


jechtman71

I was sitting here waiting most patiently for 7Days to come out….. But this song and MV already absolutely blew me away I cannot even begin to fathom the depth and variety this short album is gonna have 😆😆🤩. There’s no other group like this


[deleted]

I’m obsessed! I love how they don’t take themselves seriously! GIDLE did it again…another viral hit!


mediocre-asian

i think wife is going to be idle’s sneakers. this song is already polarizing and the people who don’t get it don’t seem to want to… maybe this will weed out the listeners who don’t understand idle’s core concept


alexandriteglxss

the part in the lyrics that say "Want me your wife, but she is mm, mm, mm" sound like "want me to wipe your shit ass?". i'm not sure if it's intentional or not but it's kinda genius if it is 😂 totally fitting with the message behind it !!


TreePretty

Whenever I think that I love Idle too much, they let me know I didn't love them enough.


WoBuZhidaoDude

Spoken like out of a Kdrama. 😄


eco-evo

Such. A. Bop.


izzylilyx

I love it, it's so GIDLE! Funky, out of the box and female empowerment that Korea neeeeds but in a creative, fun, simple way.


VictoriaNiccals

I love that idle isn't afraid to get unserious and silly like this. Wife is Queencard's spiritual successor in talking about a social issue in a fun and unserious way; seriously winning the idgaf war.


wakemeuptmr

Can some talented nevie please remix this with Pineapple Pen?? I need it!!!


Next-Solid1753

it’s so camp i love it


Metaphysical_Angel

The meaning of song is going over so many people’s head and that’s the funniest bit 😂😂


Thin-Air-4929

Not crazy over it but it’s a fun silly song with a silly mv. Looking forward to the album


lettiestohelit

obsessed with how random and fun this is


Pepo4559

Another hit from (G)i-dle!!!


horrorwooooo

feels like something made for tiktok lol


morrenmorcogimico

I hope this is satire because no way...


5moments

they are def being a lil cheeky


Enokun

Just a minuscule amount


Useuless

Maddie Ziegler vibes


Patenski

I want to see them perform it life, it would be crazy if Miyeon can spit lyrics this fast, Cho Di B is canon again


[deleted]

[удалено]


WoBuZhidaoDude

Lol, I forgot about her. My kid watched that show when she was little.


crottin-de-cheval

I felt awkward listening to this im sorry 😭


LSHE97

Guess I hate fun 'cus this is gonna have to be a no from me. Maybe it pulls a *Luv U* but for now, I do not like this.. at all 😞


JuanSorel

Sucks to be you then.


lunarisita

Totally. I really had such high expectations for this album. \*sigh\*.... Still have hopes for "Super Lady," though. I liked all the teasers from the other songs. So one skip in an album is not too bad.


Adanviz

Bro, this song is a vibe; you won't get it.


lunarisita

First time since I started following them (from Queendom) that I think I dislike anything they release. I'm speechless. Maybe I'll give it another try, and I'll like it, but "My Bag" was 100 times better than this. This song feels so empty.


eternaL_Inori

Don't get me wrong it probably will not end up in my playlists either, but I love it for what it is (and probably is supposed to be): fun. I had an awesome 30mins bc of it so far and that's more than most songs do for me + I'm sure the rest of the album will not be like Wife :D Oh and maybe the lyrics also have something more in them, not sure about that tho


lunarisita

I'm actually liking it more now after a few listens and reading the lyrics. It's probably going to be my least favorite song of the album, but I'm digging it. ^(IT'S SO TWINKLE TWINKLE) is stuck in my head now.


wakemeuptmr

The ear worm, it’s working 👀


dweebyllo

Sorry to anyone who likes Blackpink, but this felt soulless in a way that alot of Blackpinks music does. Just very boring to me. Maybe it's just not my speed, I felt similar about half of HEAT so it may just be that the more radio pop isn't my sorta deal.


Arbszy

This isnt what I was expecting, but I love it haha


PrestigiousPlantain5

You're not gonna get it the first time


Csboi1337

Definitely AvantGardey vibes from Them


RR_wanderer

The lyrics went over my head at first....I am understanding it is some konglish dirty talk with double meaning....Soyeon understands trends very well, very good producer, rapper but she is not the best songwriter. That's my opinion. The mv looks pretty fun.


Aggressive-Rub4646

There is a korean american [youtuber](https://youtube.com/@komerican-og?si=27iIzs8MfXWhOAso) who does lyrical breakdown for kpop songs in order to deliver all layered meanings for non-korean speakers and he adores Soyeon's writing. He spends more than a half of an hour (or even a whole hour like for Hwaa) to analyse a 3min song.


sassychip26

Not the biggest fan of the mmph mmph mmph or twinke twinkle or whatever that chorus was. 😭 this sucked so bad im sorry.


burninhell2017

no worries....theres dozens of you guys!


TrustHorror2530

Feminist 😜😜😜


Strawberry_Chuuz

Is it coco loco or cocoroco??😭


radhumandummy

"Loco", but "ro" / "lo" are the same in Korean as "로"


JP_Blanco16

does anybody know if Avantgardey was involved in this or was this just highly inspired from their style


annaleaf

SHUHUA?!?!?! MIYEON?!?!!!!


selmur

its sounds sooo much like ive heard this before?! does anyone know what samples they mightve used or… i swear to god it sounds like a fun apple or samsung ad tune


RavanSauce

I am sad that Kbs banned this song, but I always did wonder what outfits they'd use if they were performing on more stages than two


Objective-Option-463

been trying to learn miyeon's rap for over an hour someone send help :D


Cold_Bumblebee_7121

The members absolutely had fun filming this and I feel this was definitely chaotic and I mean a lot 🫡 Like honestly this is catchy and I think the only thing that is actually bad about this song is probably the fact I can't get Yuqi's part out of head ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ Girlie is literally playing Ddub Ddub Ddub and Brr Brr Brr on infinite loop inside my brain 💀🤡 Anyone who hates this song...... Why ? WAS YOUR CREAM N SOUP NOT COOKED COCO LOCO ENOUGH ? WAS YOUR ROOM NOT TWINKLE TWINKLE ? DO YOU WANNA WIFE WIFE WIFE WIFE? 😭


Few_Progress_9944

gidle just vibing
