This research aims to examine the representation of feminism in the music video "Tomboy" by (G)I-DLE. This music video serves as a mass communication medium for disseminating social messages, specifically reimagining femininity and distributing feminist ideas through pop culture. This descriptive qualitative research utilizes Ferdinand de Saussure's structural semiotics approach to dissect the existing sign system. The unit of analysis focuses on the relationship between signifiers and signifieds across 11 analytical units encompassing both visual and linguistic elements The results indicate that the "Tomboy" music video represents feminist values through three main narratives. First, the resistance against domestication and traditional gender roles. Second, the reclamation of bodily autonomy and women's agency, which explicitly rejects objectification and normative beauty standards. Third, the subversion of patriarchal domination and the reclaiming of negative stigmas as a source of self-empowerment. Overall, this music video functions as a media text that rejects traditional gender expectations and asserts the sovereign identity of independent and empowered women within contemporary popular culture.
