analyzing the sociocultural, economic, and political commentary of FUN by fromis_9: a thread
At its surface, FUN is about girls having fun. The MV starts with girls taking their commercial ads shoots seriously. Then they let loose and just have FUN.
I mean we can just accept that. That FUN is just about having fun. But are you not curious why of all concepts, fromis_9 just had to product parodies?
My discussion is about to get ridiculous here. So either just make fun of me or take me a bit seriously. Anyways I am doing this for fun lmao. Here goes:
FUN starts with Nagyung saying: “Come on girls. Get on the floor!”
Why’s that? Isn’t that line reserved for robbery?

Because it is about robbery. It is about how capitalism/modern society/ whatever robs us of true fun. (LMAO)
Hear me out. I think it’s weird how they are singing about having fun but remain picture perfect (not letting loose) for their commercial ads. Do they really have fun?

I think Nagyung and the rest implied not really having fun here:
They’re talking about some form of escapism.

Another line about escapism
Anyways, enought about the lines of escapism. You can watch the mv yourself (stream FUN).
Remember the part of the MV in black and white? It is a large contrast to rest of the MV, which is very colorful.

This part is interesting. “You were not who you were yesterday”
This is the only rap part of the mv, and the next scenes... the girls show a different demeanor.

Posting this because Jiwon looks good. Also because when Jiwon sang this, everyone finally let loose and have fun?
Yass fromis is having fun indeed
It is worth noting that at this point, they are basically singing what they sang about in the earlier part of the MV. But now with genuine smiles.
Now these are new lines. They’re now saying that the black night will light up because of the dream light that is you. And the MV ends.
What do we learn today? Basically i just wasted my time and yours.
Jk. Let’s analyze.
The MV of FUN employed lots of repetitions and compare and contrasts. In the earlier parts of the MV, they are having fun to show it in the camera. In the later parts, they have genuine fun and realize that fun can only come from taking action for your own happiness
We can say that it might probably be a discours of how modern society equates fun with material things (hence the ads). And the girls break that kind of fun and turn to something more genuine.
Or simply, maybe FUN is about breaking appearances and finding happiness from within yourself
At the end of the day, i dont even know what kind of fun fromis is talking about. We can only surmise. And that’s the beauty of it. You can make threads like this and troll people.
End of thread.
