Most Viewed Music Videos By Sunmi:
1. Gashina
Sunmi’s song remains a bop even after years of its release. The hook is captivating; however, what more will catch your attention is the meaning behind it. Gashina is a double entendre where the wordplay has been used quite creatively. On the one hand, it means thorns of a flower or indicates farewell. In Korean, it also means ‘bitch’. After this, a controversy broke out in which her agency mentioned how the meaning behind the song had nothing to do with the slang.
How can you leave me so easily
You promised that we will be together
Why are you leaving me?
The one who’s been plucked is you, not me
The lyrics portray the image of a promising relationship. However, it didn’t last for eternity. Though there is pain, the fact that she understands that she is better off without that person.
She will grow on to become the flower that she is, and it’s the said person who lost something and not her.
I will live like the flowers
That’s who I am
Gashina currently has around 166 million views with 2.3 million likes.
2. You Can’t Sit With Us
Why am I alone like this every night
Just like a half-crazy kid
When the moon rises, I’m faded
Because of you, I’m out of my mind
You can’t sit with you gives us a retro vibe where Sunmi throws a flower pot outside the window, and it hits her ex-boyfriend, who apparently then becomes a zombie and later attacks her. Her mv has a lot of retro references as well, especially the one from the Mean Girls. Though many of you may already know it, however, for the unversed, it’s from the 2004 movie Mean Girls. The phrase You Can’t Sit With Us was used by Gretchen Wieners when she yelled at a high school student Regina George. It’s so iconic that it would take minutes for you to figure it out.
However, that’s not the only part viewers felt that references were a part of. There was a scene where she finally accepted the guy even though he turned into a zombie, reminding us of Warm Bodies. Fans believe that another reference was from 2 Fast 2 Furious where in front of a car she delivered her rap. Now, there were mixed reactions when it’s about her rap. For some she is a complete package however, some wanted her to refrain from rapping.
3. Tail
The name may to enough to make one curious. Sunmi revealed that the word tail felt more important than it is in reality. According to him, it is a way of expression that animals use. Whether they are feeling good or bad can be indicated through their tail. Her performance also had to showcase that it took a bit of time to find a good choreographer who would make her express herself the most.
Sunmi once even mentioned that sometimes how tough it gets and the thought of quitting also does cross her hand. However, she feels nice whenever her fans are with her, and it’s for them that she gets the power to stand and perform one more time.
