LOONA & Kepler subunits -- Don't Go
https://youtu.be/RkvoilXKGN4?si=AgY64tbGa0tLCA6iThis 2022 "Queendom 2" video came up from one of my playlists.
Chuu, HaSeul, Kim Lip, JinSoul from LOONA join Kep1er's Chaehyun, and Youngeun to sing an EXO B side, "Don't Go".
No special reason for my posting it other than my liking it and hoping it's a nice discovery for at least one person out there.

KATSEYE -- Animal
https://youtu.be/m7k9UMcHbr0?si=fp-tfzhjlXX8yamjThe other day I posted that I was newly open to KATSEYE on the strength of the "Animal" teaser, so now that the MV is here I feel I should post my opinion.
The good: I should say "better", as having the members actually singing marks a huge improvement as far as I am concerned over the awful "Gnarly" and "Pinky Up", but the song is not that interesting. Still, I am pleased that they have gone for the melodic.
A lot of people have noted the homage to "Bound", that super erotic 1996 neonoir from the Wachowskis. As I watched the MV, I was also reminded of the conceptually similar but musically superior WJSN The Black -- Easy.
The mystifying: I couldn't follow the plot, if there even was one, of the MV, and was both surprised and puzzled by the sudden appearance of Demi Moore. Perhaps there is some KATSEYE or more general pop culture joke or reference here which has not registered with me.
The bad: If I told you that "thighs" and "spicy" applied to a sequence of the MV, you would probably give me a knowing wink; little would you know that I was referring to the thighs to be found in the Jollibees Chickenjoy Bucket served with the signature spicy gravy, all on display in the MV starting at 1:54.
When it comes to product placement in an MV, some consideration has to be given to the matching of product and overall concept. The high end audio of Bose fits with the glamorous aspirations of "Animal", but nothing could be further from that glamour than a fast food fried chicken meal deal. Jollibees is less sharp suits, sexy lingerie, and high heels than graphic tees, baggy shorts, and flipflops.
Th ugly: Those bleached eyebrows! Daniela ( I think that's her name) looks like something from a horror film.
In general: better than their most recent releases, but not something I will be saving to my playlist.

In spite of all my past critical comments about Katseye and global girl groups in general, I might actually be up for this.

VIVIZ -- Eunha
I refuse to sign up for the "full experience" on Instagram, so this screenshot will have to suffice.
I like the way Eunha looks both pretty and pensive here.

KATSEYE -- Internet Girl
https://youtu.be/5q9EjSUovc4?si=MHzsmsyQlHQLIN-1This doesn't pain me to quite the same degree as does "Gnarly", but I still hate it.
Even though KATSEYE are a "global" pop group, I'm still going to add the Kpop tag to this post, as I am interested to hear the opinions of other Kpop fans.
What do you think of "Internet Girl" and Katseye in general?

Fromis_9 -- Miniskirt
https://youtu.be/C32XiyRpUtI?si=I4FYo5Oe1_q7uajZI've never been quite as thrilled by "'Miniskirt" as have so many girl group stans.
I'm not quite sure why this is. I have no puritanical objection to the "Sexy Concept". It's just not one of my favourite pieces of music. "Miniskirt" always seems teenage boy to me.
Although I like fromis_9 a lot, I don't think this stage is the best. Shouldn't they all be wearing miniskirts?
Chaeyoung, as always, looks great, but some of her moves seem stiff and awkward to me.
Let's not talk about Jiwon's spectacles/ Megan's glasses.
I'm sure the Sexy Concept will survive any nitpicking from me, but I don;'t want to be an insincere Kpop fan.

The KIss Of Life "Birthday Live" video understandably alienated many international fans, nor have I ever been that enthusiastic about them in spite of their obvious talents, yet I do think they were the right group to cover " Bad Girl Good Girl".

VIVIZ 'Shhh! + BOP BOP! + 늘 지금처럼 + La La Love Me + MANIAC'
https://youtu.be/MLEkKPnVMHQ?si=QbDkzkJ8PEjXw4bySince VIVIZ are one of my favourite groups, I am always pleased to see them, and the same applies to Eunha.
I hope, then, no one will think I am throwing "hate" if I write how once again I am disappointed by Eunha's footwear, which makes her feet look disproportionately big; how I wish she had worn something more like the boots sported by SinB and Umji !
SinB looks especially good with her faux fur trimmed top.
Play through to the end to hear full throated singing along from the crowd.

Every Sunday I look back at the preceding week in Kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen KIIRAS – Bang Bang! -- It's Live.
No apologies for featuring this song once again. These girls can sing! The "It's Live" format suits this kind of song particularly well.
The outfits matter here. The denims strike me as so ugly that I am reassured that my love for Kpop is not just a passion for seeing pretty people in pretty dresses.

Every Sunday I look back at the preceding week in Kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen KIIRAS – Bang Bang!
Songwriting that doesn't shy away from a rather older Kpop sound, impressive vocals, and an entertaining MV make this week's choice a pleasure.

XG - GALA
https://youtu.be/8cEdndsuzSE?si=ct1PtDanNe0Fgz-GAlthough I'm not a hip hop enthusiast, I quite enjoyed watching this and absolutely adored Chisa's (1:02 and 2:59) visuals and vocals!
Since this global pop girl group is Kpop and Jpop adjacent, I'll apply those tags so as not to annoy anybody who has blocked them.

GIRLSET -- Commas
https://youtu.be/l0JG-eCof1o?si=tSJT830iS0o4DV1RI don't understand JYP.
Why have they released an MV for GIRLSET that looks so cheap and poorly made?
Other JYP girl groups -- ITZY, NMIXX, NiziU -- have had much better videos than this.
What's going on?

Glad you liked it!
One of my favourite Kpop songs is their "Nothing Lasts Forever" I am particularly attached to this stage:
Girl's Day - Nothing Lasts Forever @ KBS 2nd Republic of Korea Human Target Awards

In response to his question at 5:38, Umji and SinB tell the interviewer how much they enjoy listening to "Gnarly" in the car.
I am, as they say, still processing this.

Hearts2Hearts -- Jiwoo
I have really enjoyed Hearts2Hearts "The Chase " and "Butterflies", so I am at once excited but also a little anxious about their comeback which is supposed to be in June.
I don't need to explain my excitement, but I should say that my anxiety springs from the disappointment that all too often follows an eagerly awaited comeback. We'll just have to see.
I did read that the comeback is rumoured to be a cover of ....

KATSEYE -- Gnarly
https://youtu.be/R2-yomhYAj4?si=nlQzKVJUi7z0UBb-I usually let songs I dislike pass without comment, but I am making an exception for this MV, two minutes and twenty one seconds of everything I hate. Whoever saddled these poor girls with those dreadful lyrics should be locked in a cybertruck with nothing to eat but Takis.
Please spare me from any more "global pop"!
