A sense of desire and Excitement is woven in various musical elements.

Remains in the middle
I like it a little
I don’t want any riddle
Tell me tell me, oh, say ditto
The morning is too far away, so tell it ditto
It was so big
Like memories together
My heart to see you
Summer after summer
I waited all this time
You want someone
How if I wanted someone?
I laughed at me
Do you think about me now? Yes
All the time, yes, always
I don’t have time to waste
My long day, I miss you
Ra-ta-ta-ta 울린 울린 (ra-ta-ta-ta)
I have nothing to lose
I like you ooh-woa, ooh-woa, ooh-woa

I don’t know everything
Tell me what you want to say
Oh, say ditto
I want you like this, I want you, so you say ditto

Always touched
The first feeling
I waited all this time
I have nothing to lose
I like you ooh-woa, ooh-woa, ooh-woa

Tell me what you want to say
Oh, say ditto

Meaning “ditto” newjeans
“Ditto” by Newjeans is a song that encapsulates the uncertainty and sincerity of youth emotions, while the girls buzz their feelings and seek clarity from their crush. Rather than imagining mutual affection, they ardently want a genuine interaction, making both mysterious and elusive emotions felt. The music video strengthens this ambiguity, presenting a complex plot open to multiple interpretations.
A story of loss and pain
An interpretation of “ditto” explores the loss, pain and fault of the survivor through the Ban Heeso, reminiscent of high school through old videotapes. Even if it seems to film moments with the Newjeans, the ending reveals that it was capturing empty spaces, which implies that her friends have never really been there, perhaps lost in a tragic accident.
Requesting reasons such as a deer (which symbolize new beginnings), a cast on Heesoo’s arm and a careful boy strengthen the theme of moving forward. The contrast between the A side (where Heesoo interacts with his “friends”) and side B (where he observes from afar) highlights this struggle. Messages on his cast, like “Don’t die” and “heal soon”, suggest that his friends want you to heal. In the end, the breakdown of the camera symbolizes its effort to let the past go.
A reflection of the Fan-Idol report
Another perspective connects to the Fan-Idol relationship, in which Heesoo represents fans who love their idols as an essential part of their youth. The similarity of his name with “Bunnies”, Newjeans’ fandom, suggests this connection.
Just like the attachment of Heesoo to the Newjeans, fans find joy and comfort in their idols despite existing in separate worlds. The guy who watches over Heesoo can symbolize relationships in real life that help fans balance their emotions. In the end, Heesoo no longer clings to Newjeans as an illusion, but tense them as an unforgettable part of his past, just as the fans grow as they cling to precious memories.
