Evangelion: * runs her bf over bcz of a suspicion that he was cheating on her * New Jeans : 🕺🏻💃🏻🕺🏻💃🏻🤩✌💃🏻🕺🏻

Me next time I take a bad photo with my iPhone: This is on you, Kate, because New Jeans can make a whole MV with this bad boy.

A lesson to people: never cheat when you're at a nj party 💀

Jordan is a phenomenal editor, story translator, and overall entertainer 😂

As someone who loves dark/misguiding MVs, for example Red Velvet's Russian Roulette and TXT's Can't You See Me, this was an absolute joy for me. I loved the dark end so much, can't wait to see Kpop go deeper in making their MVs darker.

A subtle (or not so subtle) detail is the strap-on angel wings while dancing. A Korean girl wearing child's angel wings immediately brings to mind 'Oldboy', the ultimate dark Korean revenge thriller film. The director is telegraphing that the story's going to take a dark turn.

I am fascinated that she's driving a LHD Austin Montego. This is a UK-made car from the late 1980s. There are none of these left on the road in the UK. I wonder where on earth they found that one.

Personally, I'm really glad that you liked Woo Seok Shin works. His vision, tho not yet accepted in the society, shakes boundaries and makes people question what they see and think. That's unique not only for K-pop, but for the pop genre overall! When I say "think", i mean like philosophically, I know that there're groups with intricate plot in their MV's or even lore, still I find Woo Seok Shin's messages levels deeper than anybody's else. I also like their other director, who filmed Attention and Supershy, Shin Hee Won, she have done the exact opposite job pf Woo Seok Shin. She brings just vibey summery playful pictures, which are just filled with the love for life. Especially in Supershy. Supershy for me is the video that shows us a lot of life cituations, but in a way, where however bad the situation is (bus runs over cyclist, break-up of a couple, rejected proposal), live is still good! Shin Hee Won has also improved a lot since her works with SME.

i never miss a jordan video bcz he explains everything in baby language . legit my fav reactor !

Oh, I‘m quite surprised bcs there was another interpretation I read which I also thought kinda made sense: It‘s that Ava rlly was in her car and that her boyfriend rlly was at the party. Newjeans are just Ava’s negative, jealous, intrusive thoughts of what her bf might be doing at this party. And NewJeans (her mind) keeps telling her that, making her see all these images, which in reality aren‘t (necessarily) true. Then, she continues to imagine what she would do to her bf. Whether he actually died in the end or if it just was in her mind is uncertain. But the end where Ava is literally NJs should confirm that they actually don’t exist, they’re just the voices in her mind. I don’t know if this theory makes full sense but I like it :) fun fact: I think they purposely only showed Hanni and Minji on the driver’s seat in the end bcs they’re the only ones of age, am I right?

4:54 I heard that in the car scene, they did it all in one take. Hanni explained that it was a hard scene to shoot cause they only used small bluetooth speaker to make sure they know the sound cue.. The editor might still have to put in a cut or two to make the transitions smooth, but cool shot nonetheless!

that shot where they’re in two different cars and there’s a whip pan is actually all one take. new jeans explained in their mv reaction that there was a lot of pressure because they had to get it perfect in one go 💀

Also in the scenes of newjeans at the gas station, the members were wearing their mics further showing that they’re just performers. Which is also why in the beginning before they hang up on Eva they say “we gotta go perform” because they literally are a Kpop group

I've watched this video a billion times, this song slaps so hard, and I DIDN'T KNOW ANY OF WHAT WAS GOING ON. Bro I literally thought it had the basics; a girl's besties call her and tell her that her boyfriend is cheating on her so she kills him. Even then the killing part was a little ambiguous to me, so I wasn't dead set on that fact. But OH MAN this stuff is NUTS thank you Jordan for breaking it all down! This is so cool!

aAccording to Shin Woo Seok, the director, ETA is about rumors. There's never a confirmation that Avas boyfriend was cheating on her, the only proof she has is Newjeans telling her whats happening and her hallucinations. Newjeans kind of just assume that the boyfriends cheating on Ava. at 6:05 you pointed out that it looks like he was saying the lyrics but he actually wasn't. i think that was the point of that scene, to make us think he really is telling the other girl that. also when Newjeans were spying, its clear they aren't close enough to hear what he's saying to the other girl so its evidence that they are kind of making stuff up. Their rumors pretty much drive Ava to hallucinations. Even her running them over while they were kissing was a hallucination because the timeline of the mv is actually messed up. The bracelet the bf gets from the other girl at 12:40 was seen at the start of the mv next to Ava's phone meaning she had already killed him and taken his bracelet then. Ava also doesn't pick up their calls later and Ive seen some people theorize that Newjeans was calling to tell her to stop but she's ignoring them because she doesn't know what to trust anymore. also when everyone was just staring at Newjeans performing with their flashlight, it shows how media distorts gossip and how people spread false info through it. we don't even see ghe other girl's shirt or anything that symbolizes she's dead so it's possible the other girl doesn't even exist and it's just Ava's mind. near the end too, we can see Ava hallucinate Newjeans helping her dump the body which might symbolize how they drove her to do that. basically newjeans are unreliable narrators in this mv. its a really interesting concept. Edit:Some people wanted to read more about this so heres the website i used --> www.koreaboo.com/news/newjeans-eta-music-video-finally-explained-director-points-two-key-scenes/

That's basically how some k-pop fans are. Sadly, some are worse than others. Woo Seok Shin's insight hits really deep. Aside from that, great video and I appreciate the breakdown of the scenes.

fun fact: the car scene was all in one take and they had two cars that had to drive perfectly at the same time

This was so much darker than I first thought! You do a great job of narrating and breaking down these videos.

can we just appreciate this guy got everything detailed in editing

When I first saw the MV, the first thing that I noticed was the murder theme and I was surprised my friends didn't notice it until I told them. She looked like she was actually going to let the car fall off the cliff to dispose the body and I thought, "damn." As for the parallel lesson from the real world, yeah it does make sense to me when you compare it to how people handle issues, especially netizens and people watching the K-pop industry. I see Knetz react so harshly with information about certain idols or celebrities even if the actions are just small things that should be normal as humans in a society. Think before you click is something that is very important in this day and age because when you react hastily to an information, you might do something destructive and harmful to others, just like killing the boyfriend based from cheating assumption or leaving scarring comments that could escalate into a certain idol or celebrity being scrutinized and frowned upon to the point that they reach the lowest and the worst outcome possible. People really need to step back, listen and ponder about what could actually be done without the need for violence or hasty emotional reflex, and be kind despite the harshness of the world.

LOL the professionally edited call out re: Apple. I was wondering it had to be edited because the MV does look very well done. Also, love your explanations because as usual, I didn't realize some of the stuff and it's always so cool to see the breakdown of everything. NewJeans is really out here doing something very innovative with every song and MV they put out

Hold up! Minji was in the car opposite the camera at 4:08, and then she was in the same car as the cameraperson at 4:13??? I didn't even notice this until today because the shot felt so continuous

The song:😍👼🏻💖💄🌷 The meaning:🔪🕷🕸️🗡⛓️

the lyric : ' ' boys be always lying ( yeah ) ' ' jordan after explaining everything in this video : 👁👄👁...💢

I dont understand how people can pause the mv and give their reaction (no hate to him) cause i cant i just get lost in song then i have to listen again for outfits then again for details then again for dance. I cant do it all at once. Huge respect

It's so much more investing, to see the whole story roll with all its context and meaning! Great video

Dude, love your video breakdowns, both from the technical side and the storytelling side.

Best reaction/explanation video I have seen for this mv. It's awesome!!

learning the truth behind the mv and being absolutely horrified THEN DANCE THERAPY 😆😆😆

I'm upset with the HELP MEE! Lol I'm dying💀

Thank you Jordan for doing this. Worth the wait!

7:19 not me whipping my head when you said beth 😂 feeling called out! Apology accepted though~

1:30 Just a small correction (mostly for viewers, as I'm sure Jordan knows this): it's not the framerate but the shutter speed. Generally speaking you want to shoot with a shutter speed twice as fast as the frame rate, so for example 24FPS should be shot at 1/48th of a second. You can set a specific shutter speed on the iPhone using a proper app for shooting video (Filmic Pro, MAVIS, ProCam, etc.) but shooting with the stock Camera app (which I'm guessing the filmmakers were required to use for this) means not having direct control over shutter speed. Surprisingly, it seems that even using Cinematic mode in the Camera app does not necessarily enforce this shutter speed.

Let‘s praise the girls’ performance and acting too, NewJeans SLAYYYYY!!

Your reactions are insane, i feel like im learning while having fun lol ... how have I just found this channel. NewJeans just feels like a great tv show .. each song like an episode with a different message but an running theme from song to song

You are a very smart person. I always admire it. Your interpretation of the New Jeans music video is perfect.😅

FINALLY YOU REACTED TO ETA 😭💖💖💖 thank you so much

FINALLY YOU MADE A VIDEO ON ETA I WAS WAITING❤❤

the 0.5 was actually when u activate action mode so that’s why it’s not that wide since it’s cropping into the frame

I’ve been waiting for this !!!

This guy. The xplanation is on point. Keep it up ma dude.

I love your NewJeans reactions so much! I hope you keep doing them in the future 😊

this is an amazing masterclass worthy vid. Thank you Jordan

love how you explain everything.

Fr my sister showed this to my mother so she asked "Did they kill the boyfriend?" I guess she watched too many murder stories💀

was waiting for this reaction ❤

That was such an amazing explanation of the story unfolding

I like the juxtaposition of seemingly upbeat visuals and dark story. It's also reflected in the music production too, this song always appeared to me as sad and dramatic

its about time you upload this,, newjeans jordan = perfection

i was WAITING for this one

The message of the mv and just everyting about this song sooooooooo amazing

ETA is such a vibe but its pretty dark

I literally love this mvs story sm

my dumb self really thought that ETA MV was jolly and happy 😭😭😭😭💀💀

Jordan Ome A LIVING MASTERPIECE

Ava hallucinating reminded me of that scene in Harry Potter where Ron was hallucinating Hermione and Harry kissing bc he was going crazy from the necklace. I knew off the bat it was hallucinations but i loved the mv sm

Ya'll missed the tiny detail in the lore that Hanni was an iPhone in OMG music video, and the first scene in ETA is Hanni calling using iPhone's Facetime. Coincidence? I think not.

Ava hallucinates NewJeans and it's cool, she gets her own MV... But if I hallucinate NewJeans I have to go to the hospital?? What...

I love how you end up and your dancing as well

Ommgmg the explanation best reaction!!

ETA is basically asking when Ava would be free from prison

5:53 It will probably sound bratty, so sorry, but I have an iPhone 14 Pro myself. It looks at that zoom distance because they activated Action Mode. It actually films at 0.5, but shows a closer zoom, cuz all of the other image that you don’t see it’s cropped out to give the sensation of outstanding stability. Basically, it leaves out the actual blurry and bouncing part of the video by keeping the center of the frame which is completely stable. That’s why it looks at .3 when it’s actually being recorded at 0.5 :D

I love this.

it's legit guys! thank you so much!

You're the best reactor of newjeans 🙌✨

I was waiting for your reaction since it was released

Jordan never fails to entertain

I always watch your vids to distract time its just so 😍😍😍

im gonna be so honest right now, if i didnt watch your videos and straight up went to the music vid itself i wouldnt have understand anything. Thanks jordan

I love your vids, but bro, your hair, ITS MAJESTIC, im not kidding i love how ur hair looks

god finally you make a video reaction to this MV

never knew the mv was this deep

mindblown 🤯

ASAP MV REACTION NEXT PLEASE JORDAN!!!

I finally waited for ur reaction to this

Sometimes I understand the story and I always watch your videos to see if I got it right hahahah I would never guessed this

Hi Jordan please do a video on Lilith by Suga and Halsey, I would love to hear your opinions on the story symbolism and editing! Keep up the great work love your reactions, knowledgable explanations and ofc dance therapy ✨so talented!

I’m so sorry, I don’t want to be mean and sorry if it comes like that but lately Jordan’s reactions give me mnet so much repeating the same scene several times but I just love how he just rewatches them to see more details and stuff

Very good editor Jordan !

Motion blur was present when the lights are low. The reason why they used a fast panning as a transition at the car scene. First shot with the car has no motion blur since that scene was well lit. By default the shutter speed was set at high. 😊

Bro was jaming fr at the end

oh I've been waiting this breakdown, thank you Jordan! anyway are you having a consider to react NCT U's Baggy Jeans? just wondering bcs the mv is so damn good :D

masterpiece

This music video is just so GOOD 🔥🔥🔥

i thought this song only tells about some jealousy thing, but didnt know it had some dark moment in there, omg.

You just made me look at ETA in a whole different Point of view

The video goes so fast so it’s hard to understand everything just watching it, so this is really cool! Thank you ❤

that is insanely deep

DAMN BRO... This music video, is something ;0

Thank you for the ETA explanation. Thank you for the Jesus love,

Great review, bro. See also "It's cool with you." The clips are connected by a single morality and filmed by the same directors. Here's my theory on the overall moral of this New Jeans album. The heroine of the clip "Cool with you" is Cupid, the gray-haired man Aphrodite. Aphrodite knew about his daughter's doubts and conspired with the spinners of fate (these are actually girls from New Jeans). That is why he smiled at the end of the video, because the plan was realized. They made her fall in love with this guy, and she in turn made him fall in love with her. The lyrics of the song hint that it is not about love, but about how we draw ridiculous ideals from unfamiliar people, and then are disappointed when they do not live up to them. Thus, the girl discards her divine essence due to false love, and after that Aphrodite dispels the spell on the guy. When the Get Up song begins, the heroine is already freed from the Spinners' spell and for the first time in her life is completely free from everything. She is free to decide her own destiny. This is a continuation of the morality of the "ETA" video, where the heroine killed her boyfriend and after his death her friends told her that he continued to cheat on her (a dead in the trunk). The bottom line is that rumors and speculation are a very dangerous thing (in the lyrics of the song, hackneyed phrases of typical girlfriends are used, which convince them to leave the guy + the heroine fantasizes how he cheated on her, trying to justify his terrible act). Well, in fact, the general moral of the album (3 songs and clips) a wish for the viewer to throw off the shackles imposed on them by others or by themselves and find true happiness.

i love this lore / theory

"Believe nothing you hear, and only half that you see"

NewJeans actually said in their mv making that the car in the tunnel part was all one shot

Needless to say, Eva was pissed!

All of this was in Eva's mind! How can she be driving with them in the car, when they are supposed to be at the party? Besides New Jeans confirmed; this was her imagination.

Bruh can't blame Eva ... i am hallucinating too 💀

thank you for explaining it!! i can already tell that this is gonna be such a good video!! 💗

I didn't expect you to continue with NJ, pleasant surprise! Now, is ASAP on the watchlist too?
