[DEBUT] I-REN - butt

Considered not posting this at all, but it's a good opportunity to mention the fragmentation tally. I assume this group is yet another of those erotic performance troupes... so that's their thing.

But (heh) the response to this is pretty clear. It makes people uncomfortable. They might pin it on being really sexual or what the women are wearing. And maybe that's really what it is for some folks. But just imagine this same video if you could almost always see their faces and expressions? What if you could actually see the choreography? Wouldn't that improve the way you felt about it? Less voyeuristic and more an appreciation of the full performance.

There's like 15 seconds worth of this video with direct camera angles at their faces. 15 seconds of them as people. The other 3 minutes is a parade of hyper-sexualized body parts. I don't know what it feels like to be sexually attracted to women, but I would guess that someone who does know would prefer way more substance than this. It's basically soft-core porn masquerading as a pop act... poorly.

And knowing some of the dark industry stuff about sponsors and that kind of thing makes me further uncomfortable that I'm watching an advertisement to buy these women for their 'services'.

[MV] Fei - Fantasy

The literal male gaze. Lol.
Kind of a cool idea. I think it needed some subversive element. Like the viewer being a woman or anonymous or the VR taking an unexpected turn.

And the dislikes again... Fei is Chinese, so the current conflict will affect her promotions the same as Zhoumi. Tough sell for her solo debut.

[MV] LAYSHA (feat. NASSUN ) - Chocolate Cream

One of those girl groups that focuses on erotic live performances... like Bambino.
Again, it's not the sexual concept that bothers me. Not really. It's the choices the director/editor makes for the MV that bothers me.

Can you imagine a boy group with an MV like this shot-for-shot?
The closest equivalent would be N.O.M., which was way outside the mainstream, controversial, heavily stigmatized, and literally the only group of it's kind that I'm aware of.

But this kind of directing for girl groups is excessively common.
This is the problem as I see it.

[MV] Stellar - Crying

Brave Sound not quite hitting it for me on this one.
Upbeat and fun, but a bit too generic to stand out.

Supposedly Jay Park makes the English subtitles for his videos.
Make sure you turn them on for Ugly Duck's part at least. XD

I wish there were more of those silhouetted performance shots. Pretty.
