[REMAKE] SECHSKIES - Couple
Lovely to hear a new version of Couple!
In case you haven't seen it [HERE] is the original. Throwback to almost 20 years ago!
[OST] Han Jisang & Kim Junsu - Getting Into His Head
For the upcoming musical Death Note!
It's the 2nd run actually, but the first was like a beta version. Heh.

[MV] Cosmic Girl - (feat. San E) - Don't You Worry 'bout Me
Formerly Jooyi of RaNia.
To clear of up name confusion, 'koseumik kkeol' is the literal Hangul reading here.
Whereas, the girl group Cosmic Girls is an English translation of their Korean name, which is actually 'Wu Ju So Nyeo' and why they're also called WJSN.

[MV] BADKIZ - Ear Attack 2
Ear Attack was actually their debut single in 2014. This is a re-release.
[MV] SISTAR (with Giorgio Moroder) - One More Day
Light warning for domestic violence theme... nothing too graphic.
Official channel link
Absolutely no idea how this collab with Moroder came about.
EDM legend and a half.
Also, the video... kind of a nice leap for LGBT representation!

[MEDIA] 88rising - Seo Taiji is the OG Legend of Korean Music
Bringing some attention to this channel. There's some strange stuff in there. A similar style to VICE. Mostly far East Asian culture related content. They've had a handful of videos related to Kpop, but I thought this quick one on Seo Taiji was pretty cool.
A touch of Kpop history for your weekend.
[MV] Heechul X Min Kyunghoon - Sweet Dream
Station #41
Oh, heavens. Lol. This is related to episode 51 of Knowing Brothers. It's a show hosted by a bunch of celebrity dudes who have all been through big scandals. They're mostly taking the piss out of each other the whole time.
The woman featured in the MV is Twice's Momo.
[MV] KNK - U
KNK was supposed to have a proper MV out a few days ago, but their company announced the release would be cancelled due to quality issue. Quite a shame.
At least they put this performance version up.

[MV] SHINee - Tell Me What To Do
This strangely feels like a YG release. The track and the MV.
Like Big Bang edgy angst. Lol.

[MV] BLVN - ALL I Want
Took a little sleuthing, but I think BLVN is basically the same as Yub Project.
Same dude. I like his sound a lot.

[ADMIN] A little delay...
A bunch of new releases over the last day. But I'm thoroughly exhausted and trying not to despair over the political situation in the US right now. I'll crawl out of the fetal position in a day or two and catch up.

[MV] MAMAMOO - Décalcomanie
EDIT: The original MV has since been taken down and replaced. Looks like there were enough complaints about Solar's scene that they removed those clips. I'm pleased with that result. I'll leave my initial reaction intact. Very glad RBW was least able to change that little bit.
Oh MAMAMOO, and the mixed feelings you give me...
The song is good. I especially liked the intro part although it becomes a more standard pop song for the rest.
The MV though. Oh, the MV. They look absolutely fantastic. The part with them in menswear and the mirrored performance was rad. I wish that had been more fully explored. Instead there is this long interlude that removes you from the song as you watch each member 'played' by some dude. And there are all my least favorite romantic tropes. Wrist-grabs. Turning someone around bodily. Trapping someone against a wall. With the kiss scenes, consent is pretty clear with a couple of them. One is dubious. And then Solar's looks like a full-on sexual assault. It turned my stomach and poisoned the whole well for me.
So I'm upset about that.
My hope is there will be a performance version without the uncomfortable interlude.
I kinda feel the genre of song, which is borderline country, doesn't fit with the MV concept at all.
But I think they'll work it out for the live performances. Don't they always? XD
(flashbulb strobe lighting in the 2nd half)
They also released a concert MV for 'Tears'. I'll put that in the full post.
It's pretty cute with messages from family members at the end. Emotional. T_T
[MV] B.A.P - SKYDIVE
WARNING: Copious amounts of gratuitous gun violence and some imagery of a woman who has been tortured/killed. (Same style as One Shot)
Official channel link
The classic 'Women in Refrigerators'. . Gotta say I'm a little tired of it as a concept for boy groups in Kpop.

[MV] Hyukoh - MASITNONSOUL
Partly an MV. Partly a promotion for the new Kdrama 'Entourage' based on the American TV series of the same name. We can expect a bunch of big names on this OST.

[MV] BOYS24 (Unit Yellow) - E
I don't have the best understanding of how this show worked. But 'Unit Yellow' seems to have been the primary winner of the BOYS24 survival show. Units White, Green, and Sky, might also have MVs eventually? Not sure.
Performance version with all winning units:

[MV] JENYER - I DO
Not totally sure if 'JENYER' is the correct name yet.
This is Jiyoon from the now disbanded 4Minute with her solo debut.
[MV] MC MONG - 'Tears' and 'Visual Gangster'
Tears (feat. Darin of Highcolor):
Visual Gangster (feat. Eunji of Apink):
Visual Gangster (feat. Eunji of Apink):
[MV] BLACKPINK - Playing with Fire
Jam.
I like that the sound is more cohesive than their debut releases.
[MV] Berry Good - Don't Believe
Lots of stuff derivative of that Major Lazer kinda sound now.
I think it works well here.
But the styling for the performance shots is borderline unforgivable. Yikes...
