not a dance-in-a-box video, yay! also it's nice to see SM has finally discovered instagram filters.

Prefer Zero Gravity but this is touching, and he spent about 70% of his #hashtag interview talking about Crush which was cute

Wait, were SHINee kidnapped?
And did one of the kipnappers break a beer bottle over Minho's head at 2:16?
― hurricane weather (forapper), Wednesday, 20 May 2015 00:53 (nine years ago) link
yea they were fake kidnapped by a bunch of hot girls so that they can all go buy beer and party. and then at the bar some dude hits on one of the girls, Minho goes to rescue her, gets a beer bottle over his head and then he gets laid while presumably recovering from a beer bottle-induced headache. SHINee, living out every k-pop boyband's dream.

People spent a good amount of time from the teaser release date to now discussing whether the girls in the video were white and then realizing they were thai and then actually half thai in various ways.

One of the things I love about the pretty simple IU single is the consonance of sh and ch sounds and the wave of harmonies crashing in on them.
― abcfsk, Wednesday, 20 May 2015 08:47 (nine years ago) link
I don't think they were fake-kidnapped... I think they were actually kidnapped (or in a best-case scenario, thought-kidnapped) and what follows is a sasaeng fantasy that SM & SHINee are too polite too contradict. That's why the police sirens play at the end.
In other words the MV is definitely a dream, but whose dream is it? Idols present according to their fans' dreams.

"Reality" is in black and white, "fantasy" is in color... the scene where Minho "agrees" to be kidnapped is in color while the kidnapping is in black and white. The MV ends before we go back to reality.

CL's verse is the best I think. Nothing too special, and not sure if this'll be winning too many fans of ATL rap, but good for what it is.Riff Raff and OG Maco aren't doing anything too out there either which makes it somewhat more accessible for k-pop fans I guess.

man that zion.t hashtag interview is great and that phone call was amusing

xxl on the money w/ "CL doing a pitch-perfect impression of urban radio’s biggest pop stars," been trying to place those for a couple days now. 0:54 is an obvious (almost spooky) rihanna, anyone catching other clear vibes?
― soyrev, Saturday, 23 May 2015 04:02 (nine years ago) link
Nicki, specifically Nicki on "Did It On Em" which CL has covered before.
― Roz, Saturday, 23 May 2015 10:00 (nine years ago) link
It's not just because I'm not cultured enough that this track sounds lazy, right?
Cause I listen to urban radio and like... Riff Raff's verse sounds like it was phoned in (literally - or sent as an LQ email attachment more likely), and the flash of sadness at "always traveling" is the most interesting thing about CL's delivery... but then it's hard to believe the rest of her tough-girl delivery.

Thinking very seriously about going to KCON NYC, if the tickets aren't highway robbery.
Meanwhile if you are just starting to learn English (or Hangul), SISTAR are going to teach you some very basic phrases/symbols: https://youtu.be/zlwsggJUwuI

ha the first 30 seconds made me think of daphne & celeste, though that was just because of that girl's voice (dunno names at all atm). song is pretty alright albeit well-produced

also man that new kara mini is a dud

yeah I think they were going for One Direction and somehow ended up somewhere in early to mid-00s radio rock instead.

sounds like SHINee minus the personality. I wish whoever handled EXO had proper ideas on what kind of group they should be musically but this was my problem w SuJu too.
― Roz, Tuesday, 2 June 2015 21:39 (nine years ago) link
My expectations for this comeback were rock bottom so this is a pleasant surprise.
Aren't EXO a throwback pop-RnB group?
― hurricane weather (forapper), Tuesday, 2 June 2015 22:48 (nine years ago) link
At this point, I mean. And Suju have settled into doing comedy songs.

New HIGH4 joining the batch of k-pop songs that switch gears into something super bright in the chorus. Not as effective as, say, GLAM's I Like That though.

Who knew hitchhiker was going to be a trendsetter like this.

EXO and Big Bang going head to head this week and I have a feeling EXO's gonna win 'cause they've got an album (repackage) behind them.
But both groups were actually really fun live:
