[MV] f(x) - 4 Walls
Odd video. Some kind of chain reaction butterfly effect kind of thing going on.
But mysteric is back! Lol.
Musically a similar feel to SHINee's View.

[ADMIN] On Youtube Red and blocked videos
It's a normal thing to deal with replacing links. I do it all the time. Channels re-upload videos hours/days later for editing reasons. Or some deal took place months/years later where an artist's MVs must be taken down on one channel and put up elsewhere. I try to stay on top of this as much as possible.
However, with the incoming YouTube Red deals it seems that a handful of major Kpop and Jpop company channels became blocked in many more regions than normal... including for me in the US. Now the blocking is probably a different issue to the actual Red subscription program. But somewhere in the opt-in phase it looks like blocking was a byproduct since it's all happening at the same time.
It's not a huge deal, of course. It's just videos. Many places in the world hit blocks in substantial areas of YouTube and the web. Being from the US... it's not so common an experience for me. It could potentially make it difficult to keep up with new releases and have the most accessible links on KPOPPY.com.
But the important point is that we don't know if this will all right itself or it will expand. Woollim was a big one blocked for me. So no Infinite or NELL or Lovelyz, but all of that material was just un-blocked today.
So, the main point is that I won't be changing out links right away, either here or on the main site. I'm going to wait it out for a week or two to see what comes back or if blocking expands to anything else. For anything that remains blocked, I'll try to find alternative links if possible.

[MV] IU - Twenty-three
Ahaahhahahah. Oh, IU. ♥
Love the Alice in Wonderland motif of the MV and album. A perfect response to all the crazed fans and media getting on her case over ridiculous things.

[MV] XIA (feat. Giriboy) - OeO (Special Clip)
Gentle warning for flashing lights.
YAASSSSSSS.
Glad that 1theK gave him another opportunity for a Special Clip. Allows him the chance to have a 'second single' of sorts despite the ongoing blacklisting.
Suits! Fun choreo! Very much designed for a concert tour setting.
Junsu has always had a thing against lots of camera movement for the performance parts of MVs because it distracts from the choreography. Agreed! But he probably allowed it for being a special release that is ONLY performance.
Lookin' good.
1theK added an a clip without the wild editing, which is awesome, BUT TOO SHORT:

Very excited about HIGHGRND. I think we can expect some great stuff.
So far so good!

[MV] DIA - My Friend's Boyfriend
Another one of those unintentionally really creepy narratives. Lol.
[MV] TWICE - Like OOH-AHH
DEBUT
Kpop will save us from the zombie apocalypse!
Regardless of my personal taste, the ladies have had the stronger debuts this year.
Dance version:

[MV] Kyuhyun - A Million Little Pieces
aka. every K-drama trope that's completely creepy in reality.
Spoiler-alert: Persistently stalking a total stranger, invading personal boundaries, wrist-grabbing, and then a sudden tragic medical emergency to give all that disturbing creepiness meaning.

AKMU is love!

[MV] OH MY GIRL - CLOSER
Having a mellow comeback after debut can be risky, but I think this is really strong. Love the fairytale motif in the video. Beautifully shot.
Reminded me a touch of IU's debut, which is probably my fave Kpop MV ever. Really into the otherworldly fantasy looking stuff.
Performance version:

[MV] Taeyeon (feat. Verbal Jint) - I
Good to see she got to be so expressive for her solo debut. Strong sound.
Still odd to me that it took the leader (and best vocalist) of SNSD almost a decade to have her own solo album.

[MV] BTS - PROLOGUE : The Most Beautiful Moment in Life
Not exactly an MV. More like a short film. Really cinematic.
A start to some kind of series.
