From the very beginning, netizens noticed references, whether it was “They call me ‘Savage’ that’s my name,” which is being linked to aespa.

Soyeon‘s line seemingly combined two references as she once again used the word “savage,” but also the part saying “The Baddie,” which netizens thought referred to IVE‘s hit song “Baddie.”

It’s not the first time (G)I-DLE has referenced other groups, with many sharing the time NewJeans was referenced in their song “Allergy.”
When the song was released and netizens noticed the references, they couldn’t hide how happy they were. (G)I-DLE is always known for their feminist messages, and seeing them support their fellow fourth-generation girl groups

Ngl (G)I-DLE mentioning Baddie by IVE, Fearless by Le Sserafim and Savage by Aespa in Super Lady makes me so happy… women on top supporting other women on top is genuinely one of my favourite things on earth🥲
Ah… if only fandoms did the same…

As expected, (G)I-DLE showcases their message of female empowerment in so many ways, not only hyping up their fans but also fellow idols.
This is the true definition of female empowerment!
