(G)I-DLE's 'Nxde' is the Most Viewed K-pop Music Video in October 2022
Taking over to become the most viewed K-pop music video for the month of October is (G)I-DLE and their latest hit single "Nxde."
According to K-pop Radar on November 1, "Nxde" had amassed a total of 91,762,202 views on its music video over on Youtube in the month of October alone, which is a great view count considering it was only released on October 17.
"Nxde" is the title track of (G)I-DLE's fifth Korean mini album entitled "I Love," which was released on the same day and came seven months after the group released their first studio album "I Never Die" back in March of this year. This also marks the group's second release with only five members, following Soojin's departure back in August 2021.
"Nxde" is an alternative pop track written, composed, and arranged by member Soyeon that samples an aria from "Habanera" from Georges Bizet's 1875 opéra comique Carmen. Lyrically, the song has a concept of "comparing the undecorated and dignified figure to the nude."
