NewJeans Hanni Was Inspired by THIS Disney Film For Her Lyrics in 'Hype Boy'

In an interview, NewJeans Hanni revealed that her lyrics for "Hype Boy" was inspired by a classic Disney movie.

Can you guess what the movie is?

NewJeans Hanni Was Inspired by 'Alice In Wonderland' For Her Lyrics in 'Hype Boy'

On January 11, NewJeans made an appearance as guest on YouTube channel, SiriusXM, where they discussed their releases "Ditto" and "OMG."

During the interview, NewJeans Danielle shared the members' participation for the album. She emphasized that the members were both excited and worried at first. However, they were happy with the results, and the album was well-loved by their fans, Bunnies.

The host proceeded to ask NewJeans about their first EP, specifically Danielle's writing on "Attention," and Hanni on "Hype Boy."

While Danielle was inspired by her passion in songwriting, Hanni's inspiration came from a classic Disney movie. The film that inspired Hanni in her lyrics was none other than "Alice In Wonderland," an all-time favorite by audiences worldwide!

Hanni explained that when she first heard "Hype Boy," the first thing that entered her mind was the ticking sound in the song's intro, resembling a clock.

From there, Hanni explained that she was inspired by a scene from the movie, where the main character Alice falls into the well, and the film's emphasis on clocks.

Equipped with such inspiration, Hanni wanted to express the idea into lyrics, describing the feeling of falling involuntarily, which she related to chasing a daydream.

"I think the first thing that came to my mind (when I heard Hype Boy) was the ticking sound, which sounded like a clock ticking. So, there's a scene in Alice In Wonderland where Alice falls into the rabbit hole, and all the objects around her were moving in slow motion."

"There's also this emphasis on clocks. I wanted to express the feeling of falling into something without being on purpose. It's like falling into a daydream, when the lyrics are translated into English."

After hearing her inspiration, SirusXM and Minji commended Hanni's creativity. Minji also considered Hanni's lyrics her favorite part.
