The release of “Nxde,” the title track in k-pop girl group (G)-idle’s newest album, sheds light on the sexualization of women in media and how search engines perpetuate unjust stereotypes. Taking inspiration from the timeless icon Marilyn Monroe and her experiences, “Nxde” raises conversations about society’s paralleling criticisms and disrespectful portrayals of females. This collage pieces together key elements from “Nxde”‘s music video, an iconic outfit of Monroe from “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953)”, and screenshots of search engines and graphs that further the podcast’s main discussion.
