NewJeans “OMG” Official MV
NewJeans “OMG” Lyrics
Hangul
이 노래는 it’s about you, baby
Only you
You, you, you, you, you, you, you
내가 힘들 때, 울 것 같을 때
기운도 이젠 나지 않을 때
(It’s you) 날 걱정하네, (it’s you) 날 웃게하네
말 안 해도 돼, boy, what do you say?
멀리든 언제든지 달려와
(They keep on asking me, “who is he?”)
바쁜 척도 없이 넌 나타나
(They keep on asking me, “who is he?”)
“이게 말이 되니?” 난 물어봐
(They keep on asking me, “who is he?”)
너는 말야, he’s the one that’s living in my system, baby
Oh my, oh my God! 예상했어 나
I was really hoping that he will come through
Oh my, oh my God! 단 너뿐이야
Asking all the time about what I should do
No, I can never let him go, 너만 생각나 24
난 행운아야 정말로, I know, I know
널 알기 전까지는 나, 의미 없었어 전부 다
내 맘이 끝이 없는 걸, I know, I know
I’m going crazy, right?
어디서든, 몇 번이든
There ain’t nothing else that I would hold on to
I hear his voice through all the noise
잠시라도 내 손 놓지 마, no, no
걱정 없잖아 ’cause I got someone
혼자라도 괜찮아 ’cause I love someone
멀리든 언제든지 달려와
(They keep on asking me, “who is he?”)
바쁜 척도 없이 넌 나타나
(They keep on asking me, “who is he?”)
“이게 말이 되니?” 난 물어봐
(They keep on asking me, “who is he?”)
너는 말야, he’s the one that’s living in my system, baby
Oh my, oh my God! 예상했어 나
I was really hoping that he will come through
Oh my, oh my God! 단 너뿐이야
Asking all the time about what I should do
No, I can never let him go, 너만 생각나 24
난 행운아야 정말로, I know, I know
널 알기 전까지는 나, 의미 없었어 전부 다
내 맘이 끝이 없는 걸, I know, I know
He’s the one that’s living in my system, baby
Baby, baby
Bab-baby (I’m going crazy, right?)
Baby, baby (I’m going crazy, right?)
Bab-baby (너와 나)
My heart is glowing, it’s glowing up (glowing up)
너랑만 있으면 무서울 게 없어 (glowing up)
가득 메워진, 다 메워진 (붉어진)
My heart is glowing, it’d be glowing (’cause he!)
Oh my, oh my God! 예상했어 나
I was really hoping that he will come through
Oh my, oh my God! 단 너뿐이야
Asking all the time about what I should do (너와 나)
No, I can never let him go, he’s right there for me, 24
난 행운아야 정말로, I know, I know (너와 나)
널 알기 전까지는 나, 의미 없었어 전부 다, 어떡해
My heart is glowing, it’s glowing
My heart is glowing up, so I can’t sleep at night

Translation
This song it’s about you baby
Only you
You you you
You you you you
When I’m down
Feel like I’m crying
When I can’t even
Pretend to be okay
It’s you, you worry about me
It’s you, you make me laugh
No need to say
Boy what do you say
(They keep on asking me, “who is he?”)
You’re only one call away
(They keep on asking me, “who is he?”)
You show up with no hesitation
(They keep on asking me, “who is he?”)
Can this be real?
(They keep on asking me, “who is he?”)
You really are
He’s the one that’s living in my system baby
Oh my oh my God
I knew this would happen
I was really hoping
That he will come through
Oh my oh my God
It’s only you
Asking all the time about what I should do
No I can never let him go
I only think of you
I’m a lucky girl I know, I know
Before I met you
Everything was pointless
My feeling is boundless I know, I know
I’m going crazy right?
Wherever
Whenever
There ain’t nothing else
that I would hold on to
I hear his voice
Through all the noise
Don’t let go of my hand for one second no, no
Got no worries
‘Cause I got someone
It’s okay to be alone
‘Cause I love someone
(They keep on asking me, “who is he?”)
You’re only one call away
(They keep on asking me, “who is he?”)
You show up with no hesitation
(They keep on asking me, “who is he?”)
Can this be real?
(They keep on asking me, “who is he?”)
You really are
He’s the one that’s living in my system baby
Oh my oh my God
I knew this would happen
I was really hoping
That he will come through
Oh my oh my God
It’s only you
Asking all the time about what I should do
No I can never let him go
I only think of you 24
I really am a lucky girl I know, I know
Before I met you
Everything was pointless
My feeling is boundless I know, I know
You and me
My heart is glowing
It’s glowing up
With you, nothing can scare me
All filled up, all filled up (all red now)
My heart is glowing, it’d be glowing
‘Cause he
Oh my oh my God
I knew this would happen
I was really hoping
That he will come through
Oh my oh my God
It’s only you
Asking all the time about what I should do
No I can never let him go
He’s right there for me 24
I really am a lucky girl, I know, I know
Before I met you
Everything was pointless
What should I do
My heart is glowing, it’s glowing
My heart is glowing
So I can’t sleep at night
NewJeans “OMG” Meaning
“OMG” is a thought-provoking take on mental health and the identity struggles of idols. Set in a hospital, the MV follows shifting perspectives, blurring reality and delusion. Hanni’s character, who believes she is an AI assistant, serves as a metaphor for the dehumanization of K-pop idols, while other members embody different personas: Minji as a doctor, Hyein as a fairytale princess, and Haerin as a cat, a nod to her viral image. Danielle, the only one who identifies as a NewJeans member, raises questions about the MV’s reality.

The visual contrast between hospital gowns and vibrant idol outfits highlights the loss of individuality in the entertainment industry. By breaking the fourth wall and incorporating self-referential elements, the MV critiques the industry’s tendency to reduce idols to consumable images. Ending with a fan’s message questioning NewJeans’ artistic direction, “OMG” challenges perceptions of idols, proving they are more than just visuals and catchy music.
