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.

GIRLSET -- CHAT
https://youtu.be/iQzBz-JV2zg?si=NrCqUn_D3XbHxO-BAfter sitting through this and then thinking about Katseye, I have concluded that "global girl groups" hold little appeal for me.

🧵 1/2
Every weekend 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 ARTMS -- Butterfly Effect.
This fancam from Cologne of one of my favourite ARTMS songs (starts at 46:17) makes me think that I should go see Kpop live...but then this fancam has been shot from such an advantageous spot that I wonder if my actual experience would be an anticlimax.
I derive so much pleasure from the performance and visual aspects of Kpop, which makes it interesting to compare my response to this performance of "Butterfly Effect" with my feelings towards...

Who was your Ult Artist(s)/Group(s) in 2025?
I exercised iron self discipline by naming just one #KpopSongOfTheYear for #BestOfKpop2025 , so now I am going to allow myself to name four Ult Groups:
-- Hearts2Hearts. They're just my type and I like their style.
-- VIVIZ. "La La Love Me", the album "A Montage of ( )", and their concert footage all thrilled me.
-- RESCENE. I can't stop, won't stop promoting these talented, beautiful, 3rd Gen reborn young women!
-- NMIXX. Deservedly achieved both critical acclaim and popular success this year. Did you catch the PV for "Know About Me"?

I actually prefer "Y.O Universe" to "Little Miss".
Please don't hate me!

Day 21: Upbeat Holiday Song
https://youtu.be/2f4BDCe28sw?si=xh-PvTko_zV6LdHQ
One might be inclined to think this is a cover of a Western song, but as far as I am aware this is an SM original written by Kenzie. Anyway, it's a great song!
Confession: In my Kpop infancy, I did not immediately undertstand that SNSD and Girls' Generation were one and the same group!
