EXO Lightsaber

This happened, and fans are going insane about it. Star Wars fans who are also Kpop fans might have all died. I will say that Kpop has ruined English for me. That's a lie, Tagalog ruined English for me but Kpop certainly didn't help. Even though EXO most definitely said Lightsaber, I heard it as Lightsaber cause V's are pronounced as B's all the time. Bampire, lube, I know there are other examples but the point is, Engrish is all I hear so when they actually pronounce English correctly, it messes with me. Other than that, the video was entertaining. I'm already crazy excited about StarWars VII, and I love EXO so this was a great mid semester pick-me-up. I was sad that we only got to see three members in this video. Couldn't we see everyone acting all Jedi and awesome? No? Okay... Kai did a great job with his dance solo but did it remind anyone else of Adele's Rolling in the Deep? Flour on the ground and the person dancing kicking it up with odd lighting? Maybe I'm alone in thinking this. Baekhyun has proven just how bad he is by drinking that bottle of water before he bought it, or maybe he never actually bought it. Just drank it and left after pushing everything off of the shelves. Fangirls everywhere will have the image of Sehun straddling a motorcycle forever in their minds. This wasn't a comeback but I'm sure it will hold fangirls till their actual comeback, or it might make them more impatient. Who really knows for sure?

Vixx Chained Up

Hmm... Well I didn't love the song but I also didn't hate it... I enjoyed it but wasn't as wild about it as some of Vixx's other songs. I liked it better than Love Equation but not as much as Voodoo Doll or G.R.8.U. The song was catchy, and all of the members did a fantastic job. Hongbin is rapping, that's messing with my mind. Hyuk is looking way older than usual, maybe it's the haircut and the fact that his vocals have improved. I have a newfound respect for Leo since Beautiful Liar and it's continuing to rise with this song. Didn't care for the video itself but the song was good. I did thoroughly enjoy the rapping in this song which is odd cause I've never been a huge fan of Ravi's style.

EXO goes all Jedi

Okay, this is interesting and I'm not sure what to make of it. EXO is in collaboration with StarWars? I think... SM is releasing an EXO MV(?) called Lightsaber. The video will be released in two days, 11/11/15. The teaser didn't give us much but I'm pretty sure that Baekhyun has red hair. I kind of wish that they would make it more StarWars themed if they were going to do a StarWars collaboration. Oh well.

VIXX might get Chained Up

Hey everyone, it's been a while. I've been so busy with working school I haven't even paid attention to the Kpop world, luckily, nothing much has happened. VIXX is coming out with a new MV and song! I was rather disappointed with Love Equation so I've been itching for a new MV from VIxX. Their darker songs are some of my favorites from them so I'm excited about Chained Up cause it looks like it could be dark. Chained comes out on November 10th. Tomorrow!!

Super Junior Magic MV

Oh heavens. I just love Super Junior. They make everything great. Super Junior must have heard my cries cause this video has Yesung with all his high notes! I missed those so much. We also get Kyuhyun and Ryeowook giving us a couple of high notes which is always a good thing. But Kyuhyun, what was that dance you did in the basketball court? And Super Junior, why are you so mean to my Yesung and Ryeowook? Don't choke and kick them. I love them.
The video was cute and seemed to fit the Super Junior Style; not too serious, lots of silliness, and fun. This is probably the last MV we will get from Super junior before a few more members go off for Army duty. :( The group will be so small soon. The song was cute and fun to listen to. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I do have a question, one I've been wondering since the first day I became a fan of Super Junior. What is Heechul's role in this group? Is he a rapper or a singer or a dancer? Cause in this video he's being all three. And a gymnast with that cartwheel he did.

Beautiful Liar MV

Well I am pleasantly surprised by that video. At first I was confused and thought that Ravi was in love with Leo but then I got to thinking, maybe this is a Jekyll and Hyde sort of video. Maybe Leo and Ravi are playing two halves of one person. Ravi is the inner demon, the dangerous, reckless, and messy side of his character while Leo is the kinder, more well groomed, and rational side; though horribly lonely. I had to watch this video a couple times to try and catch everything, or at least to watch Ravi's interactions with the girl. I feel like Leo's side loves the girl but he knows that his Ravi side hates her and that's why he broke up with her. Throughout the video Leo kind of takes the abuse that Ravi gives to him but the second Ravi pushes the key out of the way and goes after the girl Leo grabs him. We later see him strangling Ravi and trying to restrain him. You can tell that Leo really loved the girl but he knew that his Ravi side would hurt her if not kill her cause let's be honest, Ravi looked murderous when walking down the hall towards the girl. I've read a few fan interpretations on YouTube that says Ravi's side is the one who loves the girl but his actions towards her are so violent and aggressive I like to think that Leo's timid side is the one who fell in love with her.
I could probably make this post incredibly long by dissecting the MV and talking about the wind, the key, the mirrors, and the background/their separate rooms, and the wedding invitation, but I won't. I'll move onto the song and lighting.  Lighting first. Wow, the symbolism of the light was awesome. Usually we think of light/white as being good and darkness/black as bad but this video switches it in a cool way. Ravi is dressing in white while Leo is in black. If you pay attention then you'll notice that Ravi is usually the one bathed in light while Leo is hidden in the shadows. Ravi's scene with the girl and the table is lit while Leo is hidden in shadows. The use of light in this video doesn't show who is good and who is bad but rather who is in control and who is being suppressed. Even when Leo is reaching for the key and Ravi pushes is out of the way, Leo is in the shadows and Ravi is in the light proving that Leo never was in control, always Ravi. Leo then comes out of he shadows and into the light to grab Ravi. And towards the end when Leo has his arms wrapped around Ravi and he's holding him back they go from a dark room with Ravi trying to crawl towards the light and Leo pulling him back to well lit room with Ravi struggling and back to the dark room possibly signifying that Ravi's side is being dragged from being in control to being suppressed. Maybe I'm looking into this too much but I feel like the lighting really plays a deep role in this video.
The song was beautiful. I was worried about Ravi's harsh rapping being a negative contrast to Leo's beautiful voice but they fit perfectly. Not only with their characters but it sounded gorgeous. I've never been a fan of Leo's voice. Sometimes I find it slightly high and, don't hate me, whiney. But not the case here. I will admit, however, that Leo can hit some incredible notes. Very gorgeous and I'm thoroughly impressed. On a side note, Leo has fantastic skin.

Beautiful teaser

And we have a MV teaser for VIXX's LR's Beautiful Liar. I do like the way this teaser looks. I like the lighting and the dark style to it. My favorite VIXX is the darker VIXX and this one looks like it could be in that realm of dark and tortured. I'm just a little worried that Ravi's hard rapping will sound harsh against Leo's beautiful voice.
