BIGBANG BANG BANG BANG MV Review

I have some mixed feelings about this song and video. Most of the feelings are good, but there is some underlying confliction.

As soon as this song started I was so on board. This was an anthem and is the closest thing to "Fantastic Baby" that we have received so far. The reason for that comparison is because, let's be honest, that song was amazing and people have kind of been waiting for "Fantastic Baby 2.0". This video also furthers the hilarity that I feel when I watch a BIGBANG video. They are a group and by the end they are all together, but the first half of their videos are often spent separately. I think that BIGBANG decides that they need to have a comeback but because they are all doing their own thing they have to start filming separately but by the end it all comes together like they have been together the whole time. I know that this probably isn't the case but it is the funny scenario that I have created in my mind.

BIGBANG Loser MV Review

It took me a few listens to like "Bae Bae", but as soon as "Loser" started, I knew that I was going to like it. I say this frequently, but I don't really like slow/mid tempo songs but there are a select few groups and songs that I like and BIGBANG is one of those groups. I love "Blue" and "Haru Haru" and this song definitely fits in the same category as those songs.

Again, like my "Bae Bae" post I am really interested in the video. This time though I am not confused at the events but......I don't want to say in awe........but impressed with what was portrayed though the five members because they are real things that are happening the world to real people.

Each member of BIGBANG are dealing with their own demons and in the end they are destroyed by those demons, thus becoming losers.

BIGBANG Bae Bae MV Review

I hate the word bae.

And almost three years later, we get a BIGBANG comeback. They are ready to take over too what with their MV schedule that's going to be happening. But, YG also said that 2NE1 were also going to do this one video a month thing a few years ago and we all know how that went down. It didn't.

I remembered this morning that the video came out and I watched it and I didn't love the song at first. In retrospect, I think I wasn't sure how I felt about the song because I was trying to figure out what the heck I had just watched  Now that I have listened to the song a little more I do like it. The song has a floatiness to it which is kind of fun and it adds to the weirdness of the video.

G-Dragon - Fantastic Baby Doll

And here we have the last installment of dolls that would have gone on an Etsy account had I not got a job in Korea.

GD in the leader of the the boy group BIGBANG and "Fantastic Baby" might be one of the best song ever. Ever. He was also really fun to make and a little stressful because there was quite a lot to do on him.

Starting from the top and going down, there is the crown. I first only decorated the base and was then slightly hesitant to glue jems to the head parts because I thought it would collapse, but luckily the glue stiffened it so that didn't happen. It is still a little delicate though.

Then there is the jacket. In the video, there is a lot more detail, but I just left it at the "Hermes" on the front of the jacket. I had never made letters before and they were also really small AND I had to make an identical set. Wow. They turned out well though.

Last, there are his shoes. I made them in a similar manner to the Minho Etude House doll and then I painted them with some gold glittery paint for an extra bit of pizzazz. Something I forgot, I also made those white and black leg things he has with white felt and fabric paint. Yep, this guy was not easy, but it was fun! A good thing is that he didn't have a lot of hair to do on top of all these other things. Hair normally starts out fun, but the closer I get to the end the more tedious and boring it becomes.

T.O.P DOOM DADA

 
How's the song? 

It a battle of speedy rapping, who would win: TOP or Zelo?

Wow, I totally love this song and I am a little baffled as to why. Along with my complicated love for the macabre, I also have a complicated love for rap music. I can't believe I just wrote that. What has become of me?

Let's start by saying that I don't really like rap music. I need a melody line and that is something that rap doesn't have so I find rap to be rather jarring. That being said, my favorite group is Block B and I also really like BIGBANG, BAP, and BTS, I also like most of GD's solo stuff. But even with my great love for Block B, a few of their songs just aren't my favorite, like the song "No Joke". I do have this song on my iTunes and it's far from my favorite song, but I love their song "Halo" though which is also kind of rap heavy. I also have no desire to listen to Zico, Kyung, or PO's mix tapes. Since this is a YG video I will also say that I totally DID NOT like CL's solo song, like, at all. I also haven't really liked TOP's other solo stuff, but I love this song.

Well, that was a long explanation about nothing.

I think what I really like about this song is all the layered sounds that are in it. You have TOP's rapping on top of the back track, and all the eerie noises that are always present. TOP's voice also seems a little distorted at times which gives the song an even stranger sound. The whole thing just seems like something that shouldn't work, but it most definitely does.

The lyrics of the songs are also cool. It almost seems like an anthem calling people to step up from the place that they are and become more. To find your own individuality and throw away the norm or whatever it is people expect of you. 

Haengjin!

How's the video?

This whole video was just so full of crack, but it was different than GD crack. GD's videos are on acid while TOP's video is more of a black and white, slightly classy, acid trip.  

There was just so much going it was hard to take it all in the first time.

It starts out as Space Odyssey

 

Then we change movies to The Temple of Doom with drunk backwards fire

Then we travel to the Twilight Zone

 

And then he's all "I'm on a horse....uh.....zebra."

And this all happens in the first minute of the video. What is going on? The icing on the special brownies though is definitely the creepy baby with the Totoro leaf. That whole motorcycle scene was just so incredibly strange I don't even know how to begin to explain it.

Then at the end there was a little Blair Witch Project thrown in for good measure

Along with there being a lot of obvious weirdness, I found that there was quite a bit of subtle weirdness too. With that though, there is always the case of reading into things far more than they should be read into. With the help of the internet I learned a little about Dadaism which involves visual arts and a rejection of normalcy. Yeah, I'd say that this video did that.

There was also this giant deer painting by Kim Hwan Ki who helped pioneer abstract art in Korea.

He also mentions Jean Michel Basquiat who was an abstract painter who attacked and criticized social norms and injustice through his paintings.

Then throughout the entire video there was the battle, I guess you could call it, between TOP and the ape. They seem to be the same person sometimes showing that this ape is trying to become more than he is.

The whole video is definitely a feast for the eyes and ears and there is a lot more that I could look into but for the sake of this post and to not make my self look like the crazy English major I am deep inside, we'll just end here.

How's the styling? 

One word: contacts.

Those contacts along with his wonderfully styled hair makes this whole shot rather fantastic. I just want to look at him forever! I think what really makes the contacts cool though is the black and white film. His eyes totally pop and it's a little freaky, yet awesome. Kind of like this whole video.

Another face prop that TOP uses is the mustache when he is in the forest with the creepy baby.

He is an anteater away from finishing that Salvador Dali costume. If he really is channeling Dali with this costume that would be quite appropriate since Dali was a super eccentric surrealist painter.

Was the dance super amazing? 

TOP doesn't dance, what are you talking about? 

Which member owned it? 

TOP did, or course, even though that ape was making moves to try to be the star of the show. 

Did the English make your ears bleed?  

I didn't realize this until I read the lyrics, but he says "hakuna matata" during his song. Disney for the win? 

What else is happening? 

Things I liked
 
NORAZO "Wildhorse" - This video is on so much crack, but the song is awesome so that is a definite win/win.

Gummy and Big Brother "Only One" - Gummy's first song with her new company and it's pretty legit. I have never heard any of her other stuff which is probably blasphemous to say, but that's the way it is. Maybe I will look into her now.

Lim Kim "Goodbye 20" - I think that I have fallen in love with this woman. Her voice is fantastic and someday when I have money I will probably buy her songs.

FT Island "Madly" - I'm pretty sure that Hongki sold his soul to the devil to have those amazing pipes. I could listen to him forever. 

A-JAX "Stay With Me" - Well that was adorable.

VIXX "VooDoo Doll" - I have no words. Only a lingering feeling of disgust and awe. That was so good!

2NE1 "Missing You" - I think I'm going to have to listen to this more to really love it, but it's definitely better than the other songs they have put out this year. I'm also not sure how I feel about CL. She's very pretty and her nude scene didn't detract from the video, but I don't feel like it added anything either.

Things that I didn't really like

NC.A "Oh My God" - I would totally be all about this song if not for the whole taking the Lord's name in vain thing......  

Rhythm King "Thinking about You" - It's really smooth and pretty, but it's a ballad so I'm feeling a little meh about it.

Lee Juk "Lie Lie Lie" - Another ballad, so again, meh. It did make me think of John Denver a little though and I do like John Denver every once in a while.

Phantom "New Era" - It's really hard to enjoy a music video where there is a vagina in your face. I only watched the first few seconds and then chose to just listen. If the lyrics are anything like the video it's probably a good thing that I didn't know what was being said.

Blady "Blood Type B Girl" - What the heck type of name is Blady? Is it suppose to be bad lady? This music video looks like a rainbow barfed all over the set.

Debuts

AlphaBAT "AB City" - debut song - I don't really know how I feel about this. I liked the beginning rap part but it got a little weird with the ABC song. I really don't know how I feel. I'm just confused.

K-Girls "Fly High" - debut song - This six girl group are former Miss Korea contestants, the song is actually pretty good.

100% V "Missing You" - okay, so technically this isn't a debut, but they are a new sub group so this is where I'm putting them. The song is pretty, but we all know how I feel about ballads, so, yeah.

Happy Kpop Halloween!

Break out the costumes and candy because today is Halloween! I have always loved Halloween, not to be scared, because I hate that, but for the costume element of it. I think that dressing up is so fun, but it isn't something that you can do on a regular basis without getting a few weird looks. I sometimes say that if I had enough pencil skirts that I could rule the world and I would wear them all the time if it weren't so impractical. Granted, that is different than full blow costumes, but I would also rock a bustle if they were readily available, so there you go.

In K-pop there is a lot of dressing up whether it be for music videos or public appearances, but it always fun to see how far these people can push that envelop. Sometimes it can be pushed a little too far, but that is what fans love, seeing their idols dressed in ridiculous clothing or having crazy concepts.

I often wonder what these groups (mostly boys) think when they are told about the newest concept for their group, whether it be for an actual album or just for a side project, because side projects can result in dressing like girls or vegetables.

So in honor of Halloween, I give you some of the best costumes that I could think of. I probably am missing some because there are so many groups out there, but these are the ones that I liked.

G-Dragon Crooked

How's the song? 

So, I was going to write about "Coup D'Etat" this week, but I was given another choice and I went with this one. After writing this, I also realized that there are a lot of words, but not a lot of pictures. There is just so much to say though my English majorness is coming out and it is telling me to put bells and whistles aside and just write! 

This song has a completely different feel from "Coup D'Etat" and that is one thing that I really like about G-Dragon, and really K-pop in general. These artists don't really confine themselves to one genre of music, sure they might be known for a certain sound, but that doesn't mean that they have to stay there forever. GD has put out things that have made us say what the crap are you on (Crayon, Michi Go) more traditional rap (One of a Kind) and everyone accepts that without batting an eyelash. Then he puts out these two songs and they are just so emotionally charged and wonderful which just shows how diverse GD is and I absolutely love it.

When you first listen to this song, and just listen, no video, it is deceptively happy. It does start out with a mournful sound, but then when that bouncing chorus starts, you forget that it isn't completely happy and that is portrayed in the lyrics as well. This is someone that is pretending to not care and act happy, but if you pay attention, you will realize that they are dying on the inside, but all anyone wants to see is the happy front that is being put forth.

I think that is also one of the overreaching themes of this video, pretending to be something that you aren't and the destructive consequences that it brings. GD also talks about "taking away sugar coated comfort" but at the same time he is so lonely and he is crying out for help, but he feels that maybe he doesn't deserve it because it could just end up hurting him again.

I think that a lot of people can connect to these lyrics of feeling alone or abandoned and maybe see their own crookedness. I can see myself in these lyrics and I know that I have been crooked for a while, maybe not the same type of crooked that GD portrays in the video, but I definitely am a little crooked and because of that when I meet new people, they are not quite sure what to do with me. It is a vicious cycle of wanting to be accepted, but not being able straighten out because being crooked is a heavy defense mechanism that takes a special person to get through.

Am I over sharing? Quite possibly, let's move on.

How's the video? 

I don't know what it is like in Korea, but in America we see a lot of child celebrities become these horrible broken adults that we all find fascinating and want to fix or stop others from becoming like them. I've never read a story like that before about a Korean person, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen; that is what I see from this video. Someone who is at their wits end and decides that it is easier to become crooked than it is to try to fit into that cookie cutter mold that the world is trying to fit them into.

In a way I can see this being even harder for a Korean idol because they are placed on this pedestal where if they do anything wrong, the world is automatically against them. It doesn't even have to be about anything important either, one little slip up and you become this terrible person and you have to apologize because it is expected of you; it is kind of ridiculous. The philosophy that I have had about famous people for a while is there are just people with a cool adjective attached to their name. They are still people and the general public forgets that and it hurts everyone involved.  

GD acted this out very well all throughout the video. He is expected to be happy, but every time that you see him acting "happy" there is always a bitterness or anger behind the smile. I also liked the scenes when he was alone in the room with the couch and he was in his boxers (that doesn't sound weird at all). The reason is, I thought that it looked like he was trying to convince himself that he was happy, but in the end, he gave up on that.

As we progress through the video, GD slowly becomes more and more crooked and his actions become more unmanageable and you can see him spiraling out of control. In the beginning of the video, he is pretty harmless, he is more of a brat than anything picking a fight with that guy on the street and getting barred from entering the club.

After this, it starts to get a little interesting because GD goes and destroys public property and disturbs the peace by messing with those peoples' lunch and then laying down on the table just to be extra annoying.

The last few scenes that we are shown are of GD and he looks like he is super drunk and/or tripping some major balls. Everything is just out of control and no one notices and instead of helping him, they push him away.

Our video ends with two different scenes, of one GD crying alone in the bathroom and the final cut is of him passing out in a club. This is also where the sound of the song changes a little and he sing about wanting that person to be with him and how much he misses them. He also pulls a line from the beginning saying "Unlike my heart, the weather is so damn nice" and in the end he says "On this good day, this beautiful day, this day where I miss you/Tonight, I'll be crooked." I guess this is the feeling of everything is so nice it feels like it is mocking me so I'm going to do the exact opposite and be crooked. It is say, but it is a very human thing and think that this is a very human video which is something that is not always seen from the "perfect" world of K-pop.

How's the styling? 

The styling is all over the place and it definitely adds something to the video. The clothes that are being worn bring emotions forward and they are not just being worn because they "look cool". The outfits all embody that famous person persona, something that you would expect someone who has more money that they know what to do with and they are either using that money to show other people how much money they have or how much they just don't care. 

Was the dance super amazing?  

The only dancing in the video is the club bouncing which, let's be honest, isn't dancing.  

Who owned it? 

Obviously this is a solo song so, of course, GD. There isn't even anyone else to try to steal the lime light like that girl in Roy Kim's "Love Love Love" or Abs McGee in Xia's "Incredible" this is all GD and he is amazing. 

Did the English make you ears bleed?

There isn't really any English in the song. There are a few random words, but they don't detract from the song and they are pronounced really well. 

What else is happening? 

Piggy Dolls "Ordinary Girl" - So apparently, the line up of this trio is completely different and there are a lot of unhappy people. I looked up the original members, and they were awesome and these new girls are kind of forgettable, even if I did like the lyrics of this song.

BTOB "Thriller" - I really liked this song and the video was fin to watch as well. Also, that one member who was in the manacles with the blonde hair was super cute!

Navi "I Ain't Going Home Tonight" - This isn't really my type of song and the lyrics are exactly what you think they are about from the title of the song.

GI "Don't Lie" - I don't like this song as much as I liked "Beatles" or their other new song "G", hopefully that one gets a video too.

JY Park "I've Partied Enough" I think that this song had a good message, but it is hard for me to take JYP seriously sometimes because I think of him either as a whisper or as Mr. Yang from Dream High.

Lim Kim "Voice" - Lim Kim is an exception for me in two ways, she is a woman that sings ballads, it confuses me because I really like them. Her voice is just so unique and beautiful!

BTS "N.O" - These are at the top of my rookie of the year award list. They are so talented and they also do a really good job in combining their raps and vocals in a way that shows everyone's talents.

Middle school and K-pop part 2

Unfortunately there is not as much here because most of the students left for the end of the year "No Tardy Party". Once again, my comments are in blue.

BIGBANG Bad Boy

I think the music was good. The words are hard to understand. The people look weird.
~ Brady

I have never seen anything like this, it's so crazy and makes no sense. They are like One Direction.

~ Annonymous

I think the first video was very interesting and different.
~ Gracyn

Good song but weird people.
~ Clay

The first guy's jacket is pretty cool. All furry on the back. All of them keep hitting on girls which annoys me. They guy with blue hair's cool just cause his hair is blue. The first one has funky pants. Their outfits are pretty....intense.
~ Miriam

WHAT!?!?
~ Cameron

I can't understand what they're saying. I think it is kind of weird and funny. The people looks scary. It was kind of dark.
~ Lexie

I would like to marry them all, thank you for getting me obsessed with K-pop (great success) I have a feeling I'll be blogging about them....
~ Brennah

No wonder the girls don't go for the guys. They act and dance weird, also they have weird outfits.
~ Annonymous

The guys in the video were in a rude way interesting.

~ Gracyn

They are super pretty. I'm surprised.
~ Brook

They're good singers with a good music video.
~ Clay

Their outfits are matching which is pretty awesome. They all have cool hairstyles. It's annoying the way they're all over that girl, having some sort of contest like she's a trophy. These guys are actually really, really, annoying me for some reason.
~ Miriam

It's like our music, just not in English. The people seem like they are just like our bands almost.
~ Lexie

I would rather be listening to my babies in BIGBANG (that escalated quickly) I did enjoy this though....yay for attractive Koreans
~ Brennah

Rap kind of annoys me so I don't think I like this too much, but their style seems pretty organized. The video was interesting.
~ Kamryn

They had some cool dance moves. They looked like they were having fun.
~ Annonymous

These guys were way better with dancing (HA) and the jingle of the song was good

This was the best one. Best dancing, better singing, and over all best video yet.
~ Cash

~ Alora

Middle school and K-pop

Since we are in the last week of school I was struggling a little to figure out what to do. They didn't want to do anything and I didn't want to do anything either. Then I had the most wonderful idea, I am going to force K-pop upon my students! Evil? Maybe. Brilliant? Yes.

I kink of wish that I also had a microphone because some of things that were said aloud we absolute gold, but all I had were pencils and papers. Anyways, here are some of the things that my students said, any comments that I make will be in blue.

BAP Warrior 

This is just a tad cheesy. The singing is decent, I just don't understand a word they're saying! It's catchy....
~ Karin

This is why North Korea doesn't like South Korea. What the kimchi! P.S. Korean's aren't blonde
~ Daniel

This actually really scares me. It's too all over the place. Gives me a headache.
~ Emmalee

Even though I couldn't fully understand them, it kept my eyes glued to the screen because it is so intense.
~ Amaya

The beat was good, overall it was alright. The whistle got annoying.
~ Andrew

It's very interesting, kinda catchy but it lacks some kind of chorus. It's all kind of put together. Also it's not too original, but it was kind of entertaining. Also heavier bass for my enjoyment btw.
~ David

Opinion - Fab singers, fab outfits, fab video in gereral, EVERYTHING FAB (They're beautiful)
~ Elizabeth

I liked the sparkly anteater in the beginning (Matoki) and the guys muscle tone. I actually like his voice *Eargasm* the dancing is pretty cool, I mean I can't do that. All in all, dem men be attractive! Sexy *coughcough*
~ Tia

They were very weird and could change clothes instantly
~ John

I like their mascot. They were decent, not the best, the dancing was pretty good. I can't tell if some are male or female.
~ Dallen

I feel like they are trying to be "ghetto" with their dancing and the scenery but it's not really working for them. Some of the dancing is good though.
~ Madeline

I wonder what's their natural hair color?
~ Josh

I think this video is awkward. The whole thing is confusing. They are trying a little hard. Too hard. It is literaly shaking. I think it is difficult to understand what is going on. Their outits are really quite strange.
~ Taylor

All look the same/same hair, clothes, shoes, etc.
~ Morgan

I thought it was a bit demonic, but the clothes and dance moves were pretty sweet!
~ Erin

Ummmmm. The song is decent, but the video is kind of "lame". The way they look is also kind of "different". Honestly I would not mind listening to the song but the video is just straight up weird.
~ Jake

Terrible! Gives me a headache. I don't feel safe.
~ Peter

The Korean One Direction. It was kind of strange. I didn't like it. They went from rapping to singing like Justin Bieber music. They look like girls! (There are so many things wrong with this response)
~ Gabe

Half of them look like girls. They way they dress is out of style, so is their hair. To many flashing lights and loud noises. Thay aren't bad at dancing though.
~ Camryn

B1A4 What's Happening? 

This is a little too strange for me

~ Karin

This was quite a nice piece of kimchi. P.S. Get Korean Ron Weasely out of here! (talking about Sandeul)

~ Daniel

I'm so confused. I don't understand why this is happening. I'm pretty sure we're in a horror film.

~ Emmalee

Just like the song name, I had no clue what was happening.

~ Amaya

It reminded me of One Direction, but wasn't as bad.

~ Andrew

Opinion - No. Just no. But I like their outfits. (They're prettier than I am and I'm a girl)

~ Elizabeth

They are all pretty attractive; however, I feel as though my eye were just raped.

~ Tia

What I said when we were watching the video was actually "what's happening" so I think they achieved their goal.

~ Madeline

This video is really werid and the scene changes are quick and abrupt and really hard to comprehend. One moment they have Barbie masks on and the next a guy is struggling to eat a cracker. The outfits are unbearable.

~ Taylor

Absolutly no words......

~ Joslyn

There is too much artificial hair color.

~ Bud

This song has the sound of an American song, but I would like to know where in the world these bands get ideas for their songs. Overall it's a decent video, and a good song.

~ Jake

Better than last one, but still creepy and bad and still don't feel safe.

~ Peter

Better than the first one, still weird, scary as crap, still not good, I don't feel safe....... scary haircuts

~ Cameron

BIGBANG Fantastic Baby 

I kind of like this.....meh. HE IS VERY ATTRACTIVE. It's okay.
~ Karin

This is getting too Asian for me. Please stop.......
~ Daniel

Do Korean's just have a thing for horror films? That's the impression that I'm getting. I FEEL LIKE I NEED TO BE KOREAN JUST FROM WATCHING THIS.
~ Emmalee

Not my favorite kind of music, but some parts were alright.
~ Andrew

I though this was pretty good, besides the fact that one of them had the most annoying voice on earth. (Some of the kids were complaining about GD)
~ Bailey

Opinion - *FAVORITE* One word, hair. I like this one! It's just, that was so amazing, I died. It made me cry it was so great.
~ Elizabeth

Brother's got some hair! The kid with the blue hair and the blonde one 0__0 I am moving to Korea
~ Tia

It is quite scary but I almost like it. Very weird.
~ Dallen

This video made the most sense. I'm pretty sure the government is trying to have people stop making music. The video is a little bit hard to follow because it dosen't really tell a full and complete story.
~ Madeline

Asian Spock (SeungRi)
~ CJ

Enjoyed the mood and loved the wakey, gothic outits. Fantastic dancing!
~ Erin

Okay......so this song is just straight up weird. I mean lots of American songs are strange, but this video is really, really strange. With this song they could have just made a video that made sense.
~ Jake

Bad, but a little better than the second one. I still don't feel safe.
~ Peter

Best song yet, the focus too much on their costumes though.
~ Gabe

Scary as crap, no...just no, horrid, I hate their voices, uncomfortable, scariest one yet.
~ Cameron

I think that I am going to have nightmares about the long haired guy.
~ Katie

This was the weirdest, strangest, most awful music video ever, but the actual music was not bad.
~ Anjali

Is that his real hair?
~ Conner

Girls Generation Gee

It's catchy, but.......no
~ Karin

Short shorts......short shorts........everywhere.....I'm in love with Korean girls
~ Daniel

It reminds me of Dance Dance Revolution
~ Emmalee

I think the song was very catchy.
~ Amaya

I didn't like this one, it was really weird.
~ Andrew

Didn't understand it at all. They wink too much. It looks like they are trying to seduce us.
~ Spencer

NO. It's not the same, bring back the men.

I would rather go back to the Korean Ron Weasly (B1A4 Sandeul)

PUDDI PUDDI (I assume this is the "baby baby" part)
~ CJ

I am moving to Korea because of this song.
~ Bud

Starts out the most normal. Seems very close to American pop. Definitely the best. There is one thing it could use, girls with longer shorts.
~ Jake

Best by far! Attractive women! I don't feel like I will be killed in this one!
~ Peter

Best by far, has women, don't feel like I'm going to die, not as dark, cheerful, still sort of werid
~ Cameron

This one was the best of all of them, but still a little weird.
~ Anjali

This song is upbeat. I would like this at a party or on my I-pod. The video is cool and it matches the song.
~ David

Good, understandable good looking girls, non threatening

Here are the rest of the "Hello Fantastic Babies" that I promised. We liked Daesung's pictures so much we had to make two for him. :)

Enjoy!
