Super Junior-M Swing & Lunafly Special Guy MV Review

Title: Swing
Artist: Super Junior-M
Release Date: March 24, 2014


My Say: The boys are back! The boys are back! I'll be honest, when I first got into k-pop I barely knew who Super Junior was. I knew the group's name but ask me the name of one the members or who's my bias and you lost me. Today is my first time seeing SuJu-M thanks to this video and I finally learned all the names of Super Junior's members. Before you all stone me to death, understand that its not my fault but actually all the other idols' fault for distracting me with their pretty faces as SuJu took a hiatus.

Toheart Delicious MV Review

Title: Delicious
Artist: Toheart
Release Date: March 10, 2014
Rating: 8 out of 10

My Say:   Let me make it clear, I'm a Shawol to the bone and even though Key's not my bias, he's one of my favorite people in k-pop. But that doesn't mean I'm going to automatically fall in love with every video he's in. I enjoyed this video but by the end I felt like something was missing and I was a bit disappointed. The best part of the MV isn't actually the MV, which is the ending clip of Key and Woohyun in the bathroom.

BTS Boy in Luv and TVXQ Spellbound Review

  

Title: Boy in Luv

Artist: BTS

Release Date: Feb. 11, 2014

Rating: 8 out of 10

My Say: BTS is probably my favorite rookie group right now and I do classify myself as an A.R.M.Y but I also try to be bias as little as possible. The video was....Um, good but the song was great though. I would have rated this video even lower if the choreography wasn't a main aspect of the video. The song is of course a love song and the video is themed around it, which is a "bad boy" falls for a girl and tries to get her. But what I saw in the video was straight up harassment and in the real world you'd get slapped for that.

Truth or Dare by Gain Review

Title: Truth or Dare
Artist: Gain
Release Date: Feb. 4, 2014
Rating: 10 out 10

My Say: I love this video so much, I would rate this a 13 out of 10 if I could. I find Gain really sophisticated, sexy, and unbelievably empowering. When Gain began her solo activities, her songs began to give voice to the women of South Korea and even though I'm not Korean I appreciated and admired her for that. Since her songs and videos seem to have meaningful messages, I don't think of her as an everyday k-pop star but more like a unicorn that uses her powers for good. (Fxxk U is a good example, it's about men being controlling and rape in a relationship, check it out.)

SONES VS BLACKJACKS

     I'm probably going to make a few people mad by saying this but I'm neither a Sone or a Blackjack. By no means am I saying that I don't love these two girl groups, I'm just not a fandom member, I'm just a regular fan of theirs. I found 2ne1 and SNSD around the same time and their MVs were among my first encounters with K-POP, which I'll forever be thankful and grateful for. These girls have been around for a long time, they're beautiful, talented, successful, and their huge fan bases are proof of that.
