Beauty is timeless and fleeting; nebulous and retreating. It is many things to many people. But for K-pop girl group (G)I-dle, it is all about adoring oneself.
The Cube Entertainment group put out their new song, “Queencard”, on May 15, an ode to those who love themselves regardless of their shortcomings. Through its lyrics, “Queencard” attempts to boost the self-esteem of its fans, who often feel a sense of inferiority as they cannot stop comparing themselves to others.
“The core message of ‘Queencard’ is that you can be a beautiful person if you adore yourself,” the group’s leader, Soyeon, said. “And if you adore yourself, others will adore you. I hope a lot of people can feel this with our new music.”
In the “Queencard” music video, (G)I-dle members play different characters ranging from a social media influencer to an ordinary woman in her twenties.
