Neither the music nor the visuals of KATSEYE -- Hootie Frutti appeal to me that much, but a glance at the 1921 article to which I have linked will show that alarm about the supposedly noxious effects of popular music on the young is nothing new.

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.

EXP EDITION - STRESS
https://youtu.be/rFYg2sVyn80?si=NUotW4bYDU7rBLYVI wonder what the members of EXP EDITION, the first (according to Kprofiles) all non-Korean Kpop group, are doing these days.

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 XG – Hypnotize.
Although I wouldn’t put XG in my top tier of groups, I’ve definitely been warming up to them since the release of “Gala” last year. The MV for “Hypnotize” is striking, but I’ve chosen this stage because dancing seems appropriate for the disco/house/club sound. Chisa looks great, especially with her pink pixie cut!

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?

Sessa - Pequena Vertigem De Amor. „Ist das nicht diese traurige portugiesische Musik?“ Ja und nein. Gewisse Anleihen an den portugiesi......

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?

Why oh why did The Grauniad have to pick this as a Kpop "song of the summer"?

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.

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"!

I don't share the author's views, but I'm always happy to see longer articles that take kpop seriously.
