Since I looked at NMIXX yesterday, why not rewind a bit and return to my absolute favorite group: i-dle.

Today’s pick is “Revenge” — a powerful track paired with an intense, cinematic MV that tells a dark story of domestic violence, escape, revenge, and ultimately murder.

The video is packed with symbolism and easter eggs (Soojin’s birthday being one of the most talked-about), and it feels less like a typical K-pop MV and more like a short film driven by anger, trauma, and resolve. Let’s take a look at these fierce lines delivered by Soyeon:

“지옥까지 더 달아나봐,

난 자석같이 또 찾아나가

파괴할 때까지”

“Run even farther, all the way to hell,

I’ll chase you down again like a magnet,

until I destroy you.”

—

🔥 지옥까지 더 달아나봐 – “Run all the way to hell”

• 지옥 → hell

• -까지 → all the way to / even up to

• 달아나다 → to run away, flee

• -아/어 봐 → go ahead and try

💡 Tone:

This isn’t a warning — it’s a challenge. No matter how far you run, escape is impossible.

—

🧲 난 자석같이 또 찾아나가 – “I’ll find you again, like a magnet”

• 난 → as for me

• 자석같이 → like a magnet

• 또 → again

• 찾아나가다 → to seek out, hunt down

💡 Meaning:

The metaphor is chilling. A magnet doesn’t chase — it pulls. This suggests inevitability: once marked, the target will be found.

—

💥 파괴할 때까지 – “Until I destroy you”

• 파괴하다 → to destroy

• -할 때까지 → until

💡 Emotion:

Cold. Final. Absolute. There’s no hesitation here, only a clear endpoint.

✨ Why “Revenge” Hits So Hard

“Revenge” isn’t about empowerment in a glossy way. It’s about rage that has nowhere else to go.

These lines don’t romanticize violence — they communicate the terrifying mindset of someone who has already crossed the point of no return.

Soyeon’s delivery is sharp and controlled, making the threat feel even more real. Combined with the MV’s symbolism and hidden references, “Revenge” stands out as one of i-dle’s most daring narrative pieces.

It’s uncomfortable. It’s dark. And that’s exactly why it works.

💭 What’s your take on “Revenge” — a bold statement, or too dark for K-pop?
