Did anyone else get nonbinary vibes from (G)I-DLE’s TOMBOY?

In the Song/MV, they’re not restricted to gender roles. They dress as traditional/mix masculine and feminine in the MV because that’s what they WANT to do. Their clothes and actions are fluid.

The lyrics too:

It’s neither man nor woman Man nor woman It’s neither man nor woman (Just me I-DLE)

It’s neither man nor woman Man nor woman It’s neither man nor woman (Just me loving Tomboy)

They talk about the expectation of women in society and breaking gender norms:

 "Do you want a blond barbie doll? It’s not here, I’m not a doll."

Having Tattoos

Swearing (alluding to and actually swearing on the album version. Your life will change when you hear Yuqi say “fuck”.)

Soyeon “manspreading”. Also notable because female presenting people are often told to close their legs to be “proper.”

Drinking whiskey (which is ~considered a “masculine” drink).  

“I like it even if you don't.”

"I won't change it, what the hell?"

“This is my attitude.”

The aromantic vibes:

"Stuff like love can’t make A single scratch on my body"

I don't want to play this back and forth game (ping pong) I'd rather do what I want (Tik Tok). 

"Swear at me brutally- Stuff like love can’t make me drop a single tear, I’d rather not if I have to smile at your pointless words."

The patriarchy who? (especially relevant considering S. Korea's attack on women's rights, lgbt rights, and more).

"Your mom raised you as a prince But this is queendom, right?"

And some comments I found helpful to explain more about the MV ‘TOMBOY’:

The Cambridge dictionary: a girl who ACTS and dresses like a boy, liking noisy, physical activities Merrian Webster Dictionary: a girl who behaves in a manner usually considered boyish

They are playing with the irony a lot, saying they are not dolls while dressing or acting like one... or even transforming themselves into dolls. (And while being dolls, still in charge of the situation with the kidnapping/killing scene).

You find this mix between girly clothes and more masculine ones: Leather jackets but with pink or fishnets, ripped black jeans with [bloody] pearls and fitted jackets showing the abs/[revealing skin].

They're not saying to not wear these things, but that they'll wear them if they WANT TO. If people or men tell them to wear this stuff, they say no. But in the MV they're wearing them because they WANT TO. This reminds me of CLCs “No” which Soyeon also wrote.

Even the actions are contradictory, Minnie is acting like a doll in a girl's room while shooting a gun, Soyeon is putting [on] lipstick and then throwing a knife or being in the kitchen and "killing" a Ken. (p.s. There are Ken and Barbie heads, body parts, and eyeballs in the kitchen scene.)

This is why Soyeon says: "You get what I mean Tomboy?" And "Neither a man nor a woman, Just me Idle". They are talking about a behaviour...

Being girls and "acting" like girls while also doing and liking masculine things, and more important, taking control or dominance of the situation.

TOMBOY is breaking stereotypes/limitations women have in society and in the industry. Even when Soyeon was a trainee and said she wanted to be a producer like Zico or GD, everyone told her she couldn't because she was a girl. And she proved them wrong lol

Also I'm taking into account that they are one of the few gg who produces their own songs, a thing that [is] not common in Kpop.

Women taking spaces which are usually dominant of men while also plainly telling you “neither man nor woman”. It has a fluidity to it that is unmatched in current Korean pop music - self produced by the “girl group” (G)I-DLE. I LOVE THIS CONCEPT!

OVERALL COMPANY

2021 is BC Entertainment’s twenty-fifth year in business and the company plans to do a few things to commemorate that throughout the year. In the second quarter, the company is holding a gala with CEO Kim Byungchul as the guest of honor. The guest list mostly consists of business types for the sake of executive networking, but idols under the company are invited as well. Technically, attendance by BC idols is not mandatory, but management may push them very hard to attend if they see it as beneficial to do so. 

Important dates:

April 24: BC Entertainment Gala at Intercontinental Hotel Parnas in Gangnam, Seoul.

June 8-13: Triple Fantasy Festival in Indio, CA, USA.

DECIPHER

Decipher makes their Japanese comeback at the beginning of April and will spend the next month and a half with occasional rehearsals for the concerts they’ll hold in Japan at the end of May. Most of their time this quarter will be spent on their next Korean comeback as a priority, though. Throughout April, they’ll record the album and will go in for fittings. This comeback has a dramatized MV, so the fittings are more focused on making sure the stylist’s vision matches the director’s vision once on the members than the probable need for any tailoring or avant garde styling. In May, they’ll get to learning the choreography and will shoot the music video ahead of the official release in June. Much of the filming will be individual for the music video since it involves a lot of acting with female actresses. Promotions for their new album will be the standard fare for Decipher: music shows, radio shows, and fan signs. This will be one of the busiest quarters of the year for Decipher, and the members are encouraged to invest themselves in group activities this quarter.

Important dates:

 ↳ CHAMPION

Near the end of the month, the CHAMPION members will fly out to Japan to hold their concert at Tokyo Dome. Decipher and Knight have played Tokyo Dome before, but Unity hasn’t. Regardless of history, it’s a pretty big deal that a fresh sub-unit is playing such a venue, so BC and Dimensions wants to make sure it goes off without a hitch. After the concert ends, the unit members will begin working on a comeback as they go in to record a single in the studio in June.

Important dates:

April 29: We Are The Future Concert at Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan.

BEE

BEE’s second quarter of the year is spent riding out the rest of their most recent comeback era and preparing to make the summer comeback fans are anticipating even without any official announcement yet by recording the mini-album at the end of the quarter. The majority of April is occupied with the members’ continued promotions for “I’ll Be Yours”, including occasional fan signs and the continuing run of music show promotions. The song is well-received. It’s not another number one hit in their bags, but anything BEE releases is sure to peak easily within the top ten of charts due to their status of longevity, and “I’ll Be Yours” isn’t an exception. In time they aren’t promoting in April, BEE will be preparing to bring their Live Concert: B concert to Hong Kong. The set list will be the same as their Seoul dates, so rehearsals are intended to keep the members fresh on the stages and adjust to any minor set and prop changes needed due to taking the show out of the country. A photo shoot for Esquire Korea and more duties as ambassadors for 11 St round out the quarter’s activities.

Important dates:

April 5: Fansign in Gangnam, Seoul.

April 12: Fansign in Gimpo.

April 22: End of music show promotions.

April 28: Performance (I’ll Be Yours & Darling) for military at Seoul Air Base in Seongnam (also performing: BEE and Fuse).

KNIGHT

Their comeback in mid-April is the main event of Knight’s second quarter. Promotions have been amped up some in comparison to their last comeback in response to Knight’s album sales’ slow but consistent downward trend. “RPM” doesn’t look to be the comeback that will break that trend, but BC is throwing Knight into filming some promotional videos and appearances, not to mention a drastically increased number of fan signs, to prevent angering anymore fans, some of whom are still opposed to BC’s collaboration with Dimensions to include Knight members in CHAMPION. The latter part of the quarter will bring other activities and preparations to focus on for the members of Knight in either CHAMPION or Knight Light, and will also have the members spending a lot of time preparing for the tour they’ll embark on in the second half of the year. The earliest preparations will begin in May with dance practices and early fittings, but June will bring the bulk of learning new choreography and preparing special remixes and stages. Each member will get a chance to perform a solo stage during the tour, consisting of one of the following two options: 1) a vocal and/or rap and/or dance cover of their choice or 2) their most recently released promoted solo single (if applicable), that they will begin to rehearse in June as well.

Important dates:

April 4: Photo shoot for Dazed Korea’s May issue.

April 5: RPM Intro Performance video filming (maknae/main dancer/rapper/vocal, lead vocal/lead dancer, & main dancer/vocal/rapper)

↳ Knight Light

This quarter, the pair are informed that BC plans for them to come back in July. In April, they’ll be invited to come sit in on sessions with company producers to help contribute to some of the songs for their comeback album if they’d like to. By May, the final track list will be officially confirmed and they’ll record the album. In June, they’ll finish comeback preparations with fittings, photo shoots, and M/V filming.

LIPSTICK

Lipstick’s Ticket comeback is well-received. They don’t have the undivided attention of the public anymore the way they once did, but their fanbase is steady in the wake of Queendom and their hold on their specific subset of the market isn’t being very actively challenged these days. “Ticket” promotions proceed with the usual round of fan signs and, radio guestings, and music shows, but once they finished, they’re almost immediately called into a meeting with the news that they’ll begin working on their next comeback right away. While BEE is most well-known as the summer queens of the company, Lipstick is marketable for the season as well and BC wants to capitalize on that by pushing them for a special summer mini-album release. In May, they’ll be briefed on the concept of the comeback and will record the mini-album. In the back half of May, they’ll learn the choreography a little more rushed than usual. As June comes around, the focus will shift to fittings and photo shoots for the album jacket and promotion materials ahead of their comeback release in July.

Important dates:

April 2: Release of “Ticket” & Sweet Rendezvous mini-album + press showcase, music show promotions continue through May 2.

CHARM

After CHARM finishes their Korean comeback promotions, their team’s attention will turn to preparing for a Japanese comeback in June with a new single and mini-album. April will be spent recording the mini-album and learning the choreography. Choreography practice will continue into the following month leading up to the filming of the music video and the album jacket shoot. Around this time is also when CHARM will begin to rehearse for their Japan tour, which they’ll be holding in the third quarter. Luckily for them, this doesn’t involve learning much new choreography, as they should already be familiar with most of it. 

Important dates:

April 8: End of music show promotions.

May 9: “24H” M/V filming.

WISH

"More & More” promotions carry through to the end of April. There isn’t much need to bother with additional schedules like radio show guestings or filming videos for other YouTube channels at WISH’s level, especially considering BC would like to let Chroma take that attention up in April as they promote their first sub-unit debut. After promotions have ended, WISH are quickly informed they’ll need to start preparing for their next comeback, which will start a trilogy of a more elegant lean within their color pop concept. In May, after they’ve had a photo shoot for the cover of the American Harper’s Bazaar (a benefit of their recent signing with an American label), they’ll be in the studio to record the mini-album and, at the end of the month, will be spending time in the dance studio to learn the choreography. June will involve the final comeback preparations, including fittings and the album photo shoot before the members make their comeback in July.

Important dates:

April 5: Fansign in Yongsan, Seoul.

April 12: Fansign in Gangnam, Seoul.

April 19: Fansign in Yeouido, Seoul.

May 8: Estee Lauder fan sign.

June 1: Comeback M/V and stage outfit wardrobe fittings.

June 15: COLOR*WISH mini-album photo shoot.

CHROMA

While the members of Chroma Crystal make their debut as a new unit, the second batch of members slowly eases into preparations to release their solo singles in this quarter. While everyone is working on their own schedules, the members will also begin to film another predebut project BC has in mind for them — a webdrama. They’ve been cast in these roles and in May and June, they’ll film the first season and its special clips. Multiple seasons of the webdrama are planned to get the group’s name out. (Admin note: Characters will have the muse’s name and not the Loona members’ names.)

[Orange] will record her song and learn the choreography in April so that she’s prepared to film her music video (which [Indigo] makes a pre-reveal appearance in) in May. This leads into her official single release in the final month of the quarter. Chroma’s fans are growing with each solo single release, hers included.

[Yellow], on the other hand, begins to record her song and learn its choreography in May (after receiving the original demo the month prior) and the music video will be filmed in June — there’s winter imagery in the song for a “Christmas in summer” feeling that BC thinks will make her standout, or it represents something about Chroma’s lore timeline being out of chronological order; it’s unclear as she gets different explanations from different staff that makes it seem like not everyone is on the same page. [Orange] makes a prominent appearance in her music video.

[Indigo] starts going into the studio in June to record her song, and will work on the choreography the same month, though she’ll spend the beginning of the quarter being sent demos for potential songs as BC whittles down the list to decide what she’ll debut with.

As with all previous releases, other members are encouraged to come visit the other members during their individual preparations so that the company can record behind-the-scenes videos of members interacting.

Important dates:

April 3: [Violet] End of music show promotions.

May 10: [Orange] “New” M/V filming.

June 5: [Yellow] “Heart Attack” M/V filming.

June 6: [Orange] Release of “New” + press showcase, music show promotions continue through July 6.

↳ CHROMA CRYSTAL

This quarter, the unit makes their debut with “Girl Front” and will promote on music shows for a month before immediately coming back with “Sweet Crazy Love”. The members will hold their first fansigns over the two months of consecutive promotions. For the most part, promotions will be kept to music shows, fan signs, and a few interviews and appearances during “Sweet Crazy Love” promotions.

On the final day of their repackage promotions, the unit will hold their first ever fanmeeting for fans. They’ll hold two shows on the same day, one in the afternoon and one in the evening. The members will give live performances of “Starlight”, “Sweet Crazy Love”, “Loonatic”, a medley of their solo songs, and a cover of Knight’s “My Answer”. Each of the three members will also have to perform a solo cover stage of their choice during the fanmeeting. They have to sing/rap for the cover (it can’t be a dance-only cover), aren’t allowed to cover another member’s solo, and should keep in mind the small stage size (elaborate production and backup dancers/vocalists won’t be available). In between songs, the members will talk about themselves, such as their training experience, experiences preparing their solo and unit songs, and their hopes for the group, and at the end, they’ll take questions and requests from attendees through an open KakaoTalk chat room.

Important dates:

April 4: Release of “Girl Front” & Mix & Match mini-album + press showcase, music show promotions continue through May 4.

April 7: Performance (Girl Front) at Nonsan Strawberry Festival in Nonsan (also performing: Lucid).

21 about Anne's uncle or dad

- I decided to spice it up a bit and have Henry come back to life! yayyyyy...not. Anyway, enjoy this one (Parrlyn comes out) - 

Prompt: "he’s back."

Anne Boleyn was losing her mind to the Megasix (in a good way) she loved the way the music flowed through her body and she got to dance on the stage like no one was watching!

"We don't need your love!" The Six queens harmonised, "Cause we're so much more than,"

"Divorced!" Aragon shouted defiantly,

"Beheaded!" Anne smiled whilst her hand made the action against her choker. And that's when she saw him, tall, large Henry VII. He was standing with his arms folded about three rows back from the stage and grinned at Anne. She suddenly felt very lightheaded and thought she might faint.

"We're," The sound of the three beats coming from the speakers brought her back to life, "we're SIX!"

The song ended and Cathy rushed over to her, Kitty took someone's phone from the front row and started dancing with Cleves,

"Babe, are you alright?" Cathy pulled her in-ears out and held onto her girlfriend's shoulders tightly,

"Henry... he's here, in the theatre!" Anne stuttered.

"Annie, are you alright?" Jane jogged over when she noticed something was wrong.

"Henry... he's back, he's here," Anne repeated and Jane couldn't hold back a gasp, Kitty was making her way over to the small group with a camera. Cathy looked into the audience and anger rose up inside. Her insides bubbled and she clenched her fists. He was clapping slowly with a smirk on his potato-face, he'd grown his beard out and when Cathy looked into his tiny dark eyes all she saw was hunger. A Hunger for Anne, her Anne! The real person Cathy ever loved and this demon was looking at her like a snack.

"Fuck this." Cathy muttered before turning back to Anne, "Hey Annie, you just need to breathe, okay? And what I'm going to do now is gonna help us both, I'm with you all the way baby." Cathy soothed as Anne nodded, she put on a brave face with a smile and turned towards the phone to say a quick 'hi' and then turned around to the audience to wave her last goodbyes without looking at Henry.

Cathy smiled at this newfound confidence and stood next to Anne on the edge of the stage, she pulled Anne closer to her and wrapped an arm around her waist before kissing her on the cheek. The audience flipped, people cheered and some just laughed.

Anne grinned at Cathy and pulled into a loving and appreciating kiss, it was just what she needed, the crowd and fans screaming with joy and support behind them, the comforting feel of Cathy's hands on her waist and hers linked around Cathy's neck pulling her girlfriend close, not to mention their ex in the audience looking on with despair and horror!!

Cathy pulled away first and embraced Anne in a tight hug, "I love you so, so much!" She whispered in her ear before pulling her offstage.

— stage door —

The other queens were already outside and signing autographs but Cathy was hesitant,

"Babe, it's gonna be fine! You heard their reaction, they support us and they still love us!" Anne reassured her girlfriend with another kiss on the cheek and held her hand tightly, "You ready?"

Cathy nodded and Anne pushed open the stage door with all thoughts of Henry lost in her mind.

The reaction from the crowd waiting behind the barriers was emotional for both Anne and Cathy. Once the two stepped out hand-in-hand, heads turned in their direction, it was totally silent for about 2 seconds until the people around them irrupted into applause and cheers!

"The royal girlfriends everybody!" Anna presented above the cheering fans,

"Thanks, guys! We love you!" Anne shouted before giving Cathy's hand a squeeze and shooting a supportive look.

Catherine just smiled, her heart was too full to take on any extra love at that moment. She really did have people who supported her choice, her life and end goals. Tears welled up in her eyes and she wiped them away with a smile.

"See you in the taxi, yea?" Anne hugged Cathy once more before running to greet fans.

The queendom had dispersed and left Anne, Cathy, Kitty, Anna, Jane and Catherine alone. Jane was calling the taxi company, Kitty was humming a slow tune and Cathy was snuggled under a coat with Anne.

"That was a good show you all put on, but I'm not watching that again!" A deep voice echoed from the shadows of the London streets, "also, some of the facts were a little off."

Henry emerged from a corner only to be met with gasps of fear and astonishment. Kitty hid behind Cleves, Aragon ran to Jane and Anne could do nothing more but cling onto Parr's arm for survival, the sudden movement from under Anne's jacket altered their position and the jacket fell onto the murky London street.

"And as for you two lovebirds, that was quite a show you put on." Henry teased and opened his arms in 'welcome' "Annie, can I have a hug? Maybe even a quick head?” he chuckled, “Catherine, you want to have a threesome? You should know by now that my ex is great in bed!"

Cathy was speechless, yes Anne was amazing in bed she couldn’t say that! She wanted to say something but didn’t have chance before Anne stepped in, "Ummm, sorry Mr 'I'm trying to get a divorce, but I'm dummy thicc, and the clap of my ass cheeks keep alerting the pope'. But I'd really not share my girlfriend." Anne scolded, "And haven't you learnt anything since you cut off my head or is that that potato you call a face still empty?"

A small giggle emerged for Cathy's lips but was quickly intercepted by the sound of a car horn.

"Oh, that's our ride.” Anne pointed to the cab, “And this is my ride." Anne pointed at Cathy, "So, sorry not sorry I guess! Don't lose your head over me, Henry!"

The conversation was short before Anne was pushed into the cab and the four queens who'd witnessed the sight burst into a tear of laughter.

"Do ye want to 'ave a threesome ehh??" Anne mocked in her Scottish accent! "Oi, I'm not watchin' tha again!"
