inspired by watching isekai anime, KonoSuba: God's Blessing on this
Wonderful World! Legend of Crimson for the whole album concept. (G)I-
DLE released two album versions for I Trust containing different colour

themes which conveys a "collision with reality—meeting halfway
between their reality and what society expects from them". In a white-
colour theme, Lie version represents how the group see themselves as
innocence, pure and trust in oneself. The black-colour theme, True is to
represent how the society views them "even though we try to stick to
our original goals".Love that is at once pure and dreadful and cannot be
defined by black-and-white dichotomy leaves a bold message through

the music video of "Oh my god''.
