idk how some of yall be streaming this song (1 Viewer)

[cocomelon]

yea no its plainly weird imo

especially some of the more older kpop fans who are 30-40. just gives me the creeps

but why am i suprised its kpop 😍

 

[Abeamus]

Haven't even heard New Jeans debut yet we'll see if I ever get around to checking it out

 

[Day]

I don't get it either, English must not be their native language

 

[eclipsoul]

yeah with all respect to the members it's so weird how no one sees anything wrong with the fact that they picked this song for a group with 14 year olds in it. i'm against debuting minors in kpop but if they're going to do that at least be more age appropriate... and many other things min heejin was involved in just make it impossible to defend this

 

[Bopper]

I’ve not even felt like listening to them, and I don’t plan on doing so. I saw some lyric translations on Twitter from Cookie and that was more than enough.

Tbh the Min Heejin stuff seems to have died down which I'm guessing is because Hybe learnt to keep their mouth shut this time so I don't expect anything to come from it now.

I would like to insert Min Heejin’s dumb statement.
Min Hee Jin argued, "The word started as a slang word in the 70s and 80s and is still used in the United States, in the same way, to mean 'to decorate gorgeously' and has a great cultural value."
Digging her own grave

she said this about the use of the word cookie?

 

[Nina]

Yup. As if millions of people aren’t here to refute her shit. Tell me more about this “innocent” slang term.

Now listen to Red Velvet #Cookie Jar with this definition as she was involved there too

she talks like she has 20 years of experience in the hollywood world like gurl, open a dictionary first

i mean, here's why i think they are

1. big company privilege: people just wanna support cause its hybe.
2. min hee jin stans, who see absolutely nothing wrong with anything she does
3. there's some, who have valid points. since i don't speak korean, i don't know how the lyrics come across in that language. maybe it isn't an innuendo in korean, it's something cute and age appropriate. i don't know.
4. maybe some are like: "well the lyrics may be sexual but that's just because YOU think they are! i don't see it as sexual, so let me listen!"
5. to elaborate on point no 4, there may be people who don't get the innuendo because they're young. as young as, or even younger than the members. they still listen.
6. and of course, there's those people. in their righteous outrage against the song, they'll play it for everyone they meet. "see, look at the lyrics! listen to the song! do you think 14 year olds should be singing this?" they'll angrily question, while ignoring the fact that they're giving the song streams...

i'm curious what excuse people who defended her will come up with now given that they were saying the song is about literal cookies they were baking for their fans...

 

[Michael]

The constant chat about the jeans got me curious a few days ago. The very first song I listened to screamed boring all over. Not for me.

i think people of the fourth point are just like choosing not to agree the fact that it truly means smth else

also true. it's called pigeon principle. if the pigeon closes its eyes, then the cat in front of it does not exist for the bird. which means that it thinks it won't get eaten. but the cat is still there, and it will eat the pigeon.

the "it's not weird you're making it weird" is one of the reasons why this keeps on happening because the grown adults behind these young girls' careers can put as many innuendos as they want under the disguise of innocent terms and you'll always have people defending it.

Idk why debuting minors is so normalized in the first place :/ shit like this always happens
