A quote from Kiyosi Itô, mathematician and 1998 Kyoto laureate, born #OnThisDay in in 1915:
‘In precisely built mathematical structures, mathematicians find the same sort of beauty others find in enchanting pieces of music, or in magnificent architecture.’
— Itô, 'My Sixty Years along the Path of Probability Theory'. 1998 Kyoto Prize lecture abstract [https://www.kyotoprize.org/en/speech/the-1998-kyoto-prize/]
(One of innumerable testimonies indicating that the subjective experience of #MathematicalBeauty parallels that of visual or auditory beauty.)

It is no coincidence that the mandorla — the almond-shaped halo around Christ or the Virgin Mary — mirrors the vulva’s form. Named after the Italian for “almond,” it symbolises the threshold between worlds, the sacred gateway through which divine light and incarnation enter the human realm.

In retrospect, modern aesthetics is seen to have emerged at the end of the 17th and in the 18th centuries, with the term ‘aesthetic’ being coined by Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten (1714–62) in 1735 from the Greek aisthētikos [αἰσθητικός].
Many of the early thinkers considered mathematical beauty to be an archetypical form of beauty and integrated it into their theories.
For example, Jean-Pierre de Crousaz (1663–1750) and Francis Hutcheson (1694–1746) both analysed beauty in terms of ‘unity (or uniformity) amidst variety’. Hutcheson thought that this explained why regular polyhedra were more beautiful than irregular ones, and that Archimedes' celebrated theorem
‘The ratios of volumes of a cylinder, its inscribed sphere, and a cone of equal base and height are 3 ∶ 2 ∶ 1’
was more beautiful than the less precise
‘A cylinder has greater volume than an inscribed sphere, which in turn has greater volume than a cone of equal base and height’
because they had equal variety (since they applied to the same objects), but the first theorem had greater unity.

Hot Take: We need another means of determining Artistic Merit (I know, I know, whole can o' worms) besides sales, and artists (of all media: books, visual, music, etc) should receive some kind of UBI instead of relying exclusively on sales to perpetuate and facilitate the production of their art.
(As a musician I acknowledge this gets complicated when you factor in things like touring, but I'll allow "performance" or "exhibition" as a separate category from "creation," so ticket sales can help fund the whole production team.)
I support copyright in terms of "intellectual property," but not in terms of sales and distribution of media.
We need to divorce the creation AND consumption of art from money.

...Chris Brown -- Back to Sleep
https://youtu.be/OQLuhelCaDQ?si=xdbJNEJ2rT_Aqbx7The songs do differ, so it's not a case of plagiarism, but it's quite clear that "Crash" draws on the older song.
Three lines of thought came to mind.
In the first place, I wondered - not for the first time - how my feelings about Kpop would change if I listened to more western popular music.
A quick look at the Wikipedia entry on "Back to Sleep" made it clear to me how well known the song had been on its release in 2015. I felt taken aback; am I the only "Crash" listener not to have been aware of the songs' similarities? What would have been my initial reaction to "Crash" had I heard the Chris Brown song first?
Of course Kpop recycles western popular music, just as western popular music in the past (certainly) and in the present (probably) recycles both its own products and music from other sources. Consequently, my feelings are not those of the viewer abashed when the painting one has admired turns out to be a forgery, but rather those of a reader who, on turning from a mass market paperback version of a beloved text to the annotated scholarly edition, discovers all the sources and allusions previously unnoticed.
These thoughts on background knowledge reminded me of a consideration about our responses to music and art in general: just as perception is never simply an impression via the senses on a tabula rasa, so we never look at the visual arts with an "innocent eye" or listen to music without pre-existing concepts, sensibilities, and memories. That tabula full of ideas, far from being an obstacle to our disinterested appreciation, is what what makes our aesthetic experience possible. Without the tabula plena, we would be hard put to recognize the art and the music within our visual and aural experience.
My final thought concerned the lyrics and visuals of the Chris Brown MV. "Crash" was a B side for which no MV was made, but even so one can see from the stage how it differed in feel from the erotically charged American video. In addition, the Korean lyrics have nothing like the explicit sexual language of "Back to Sleep". As such, a comparison reveals a striking difference between South Korea and the USA with regard to the representation of sex in popular culture. Whether one is "better" than the other is a question that interests me less than why these two cultures differ so much in this respect.

Started on my first-ever anabolic steroid cycle, and for once I'm actually impressed: just 20 mg of dianabol over the past few days makes me subtly but noticeably toner and trimmer, and I feel really good too. Basically no side effects either, so far.
