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.

Prompt 3: Fit wrecked? Best outfit(s) of the year. (Thank you Wardrobe Noona-Oppa-Unnie-Hyung-s!)
I'm going to repost that Inkigayo stage of Hearts2Hearts -- The Chase because the outfits help make this such a beautiful video.
As far from garish as can be imagined, yet not austere -- unified but not uniform, with both variation and coordination amongst garments and accessories -- all the outfits complementing the dance moves....I go back to this stage again and again in part because of the outfits!

I hope the comeback TOO MUCH has the disco sound suggested by the visuals here.

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 ....

As always, thank you for setting this up; it's always fun!
Here's my selection:
APRIL -- Now or Never
https://youtu.be/i0bA3fFmIMY?si=x34J8ApHB6ubkfE1
This was their final comeback before their disbandment. It's entertaining, but by no means up to the standard of the best of their earlier songs.
What it does have, though, is a water fight sequence with water guns that begins at 2:01!
