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.

ILY:1 -- Twinkle Twinkle
https://youtu.be/iKAen7Z8JA8?si=JahF5g-AU3jLeVCaI was sorry to read today that ILY:1 have disbanded, as I enjoyed their cute concept songs.
This stage is charming; I am particularly taken with the mauve beret.
Kpopfans from South Korea probably find us multistans as strange as Europeans or South Americans might find somebody who claims to support lots of football teams.
