It revealed behind-the-scenes stories of (G)I-DLE’s music video shoot.
(G)I-DLE, who made a comeback with their new song “Oh My God,” shared episodes of music video shooting at the showcase site.
Minnie said, “I’ve been washing myself three or four times that day as well as acting. There was a scene where red liquid flowed down in the first scene, and repeated (filming), washing and getting hair and makeup done again in the mud. It was a hard and fun experience,” she said.
Following Minnie, Soyeon said, “I also filmed a scene of mud, and every time I washed it for a week, mud came out,” drawing laughter.
(G)I-DLE’s title song “Oh My God” is a self-written song by leader Soyeon, who directs lyrics and compositions in (G)I-DLE. A bold rhythm chain that changes with each song’s development stands out.

The queens are back again. After TREASURE’s surprise rise to the top of NEW K.ID’s Weekly Idol Ranking last week, BLACKPINK reclaimed their throne, solidifying themselves once again as the most popular idol group in NEW K.ID. BLACKPINK takes 6th win in the chart and will certainly not be the last. BLACKPINK also recently topped the September Girl Group Brand Reputation Rankings carried out by The Korean Business Research Institute. The rankings were determined through a bigdata analysis on media coverage, participation rate, and community indexes of the female idol groups to determine which female idol group has the best brand image in public. As the ranking suggests, BLACKPINK is insanely popular not only in South Korea but also worldwide. Their recent releases like ‘Ice Cream’ that was on Billboard’s The Hot 100 for two consecutive weeks and ‘How You Like That’ that won ‘Song of The Summer’ on MTV Video Music Awards, helped BLACKPINK secure the #1 spot in both NEW K.ID’s Idol Ranking and Brand Reputation Chart.
