"zutter" is pretty good, it and "bae bae" (a near-masterpiece imo) are really the only keepers from the lot for me. and from what i understand of the latest word is that MADE is just going to be the single tracks packaged together after all. i know it's a k-pop album, but 8 songs feels like a pretty thin yield for 3+ years.

That's a lot of white people lol, but YES.

Yeah, but while there are a lot of white girls in boyband videos, female idols necking white dudes is a rare enough sight.
― abcfsk, Sunday, 9 August 2015 21:05 (eight years ago) link
yeah, very different social implications there. the last time i remember there being so many foreign horndogs in a k-pop video it was lim kim's "love game," and that was practically retributive. pretty sure this clip breaks ground as a promotional strategy in korea, in at least a couple ways...

Narsha did it, but that's now five years ago.

I wonder if they had trouble finding Korean actors who were willing to party that hard on camera.

Well it was filmed in California
― abcfsk, Monday, 10 August 2015 23:18 (eight years ago) link
Not that there aren't a lot of Koreans in California
there are def a lot of koreans in cali who would happily be paid to party with hyuna

"francis bacon in the kitchen" unintentional pun or is TOP's mastery of English a whole lot better than he lets on?
― Roz, Tuesday, 11 August 2015 05:25 (eight years ago) link
Oh come on that's totally intentional

did you start after tzechar worked him in? XD
i'm one episode behind on infinity challenge. so far the highlight was when haha picked zion.t up late at night - and they drove around discussing ~deep things~ using yanghwa brdg as a jumping-off point. lots of zion t songs are sad but he's been pretty active, young and cheerful on the show - you could see he got into the car thinking they'd do comedy together only to realize he'd been typecast in a very different scenario lmao. was a good sport about it though. the IU/DJ GREAT PARK bits are hilarious as well.

@abcfsk went ahead and check for you, maybe don't bother with the other tracks that came out today…
― soyrev, Tuesday, 18 August 2015 08:48 (eight years ago) link
the reference tracks for these songs are more transparent than usual, too
― soyrev, Tuesday, 18 August 2015 08:49 (eight years ago) link
at least we know the second half of the album will have "check"…

prechorus is nice
Yeah that's better
― abcfsk, Tuesday, 18 August 2015 15:18 (eight years ago) link
yea the prechorus is nice. i think it's my fav of their singles this year but... that's not really saying much.

def on board with health goth sooyoung
oooooooooooh 'talk talk' is nice

feel like "sign" is not weird enough at times and too weird at others, but I'm with it on the whole
― soyrev, Tuesday, 18 August 2015 16:10 (eight years ago) link
Hadn't even heard the SAARA demo for You Think until now but man, the SNSD version lacks the sort of energy needed in the verses to give the "you think you're real cool" line a bit more oomph. Still a good song overall though.
― misterjoshua, Tuesday, 18 August 2015 16:11 (eight years ago) link
meanwhile "showgirls" on paper satisfies nearly all of my criteria for a k-pop masterpiece, but I'd actually say it's the weakest thing here
― soyrev, Tuesday, 18 August 2015 16:13 (eight years ago) link
show girls came out last year! i *think* it's better in korean but maybe it's just grown on me? really digging talk talk though

For posterity... must have really been filmed in a rush if no one caught that typo

I kinda like "Green Light"... I think it's the "Beep Beep"s reminding me of Beep Beep.

Best Hyuna single since Bubble Pop confirmed

How about the other single with Hwasa (Mamamoo)? https://youtu.be/3WZO_jYQzKs
This song bangs more but Hwasa and Hyuna have so much chemistry together, I love it.
