CLASSy -- Tear Drop -- SBS 260719
https://youtu.be/dLI56qLFlko?si=vk-cc5GsMFMFb7_u

I'm posting this "Tear Drop" stage less because of the song, which is neither terrible nor particularly memorable, but on account of its providing me with an opportunity to write a few words about hats in Kpop performances.

This stage show one idol wearing a cap and another in a pillbox hat. I strongly prefer the latter to the former. For me, the pillbox communicates elegance and style, whereas the cap evokes the everyday world of running errands on a bad hair day.

Although I have never and will never wear a cap like this, I can understand the cap's practical appeal. Yet this down to earth practicality damns this headwear style for me when it comes to styling for the Kpop stage.

I want a stage by virtue of song, dance, and styling to enchant me by dispelling the humdrum quotidian if only for a few minutes. The cap, with its suggestion of the casual and the careless does the very opposite. The pillbox casts a spell; the cap breaks it.
