WINNER's 센치해(SENTIMENTAL) MV Review

After Taehyun's "I'm Young" music video, YGE uploaded "Sentimental" music video. It has more of an upbeat style to it, as opposed to "I'm Young." For a low budget music video, I was not unimpressed. When I saw the "making film" of "Sentimental," I thought, "eh, it doesn't look like much. No story line, blah, blah, blah." The music video was simple, but interesting. Most of the music video was shot from a bird's eye view. When I saw Seunghoon's part with the cat, I wished it was Ihi instead. If you don't know about Ihi, I suggest you watch the "Winner TV" series on YouTube. I was laughing hard at what was going on at 1:35 in the lower left hand corner. I guess the director of the music video was going for crude humor. Winner danced a bit in the music video, but then again, Winner is not much of a dancing group. In case you missed it, check out the music video below!

Taehyun's 좋더라(I’M YOUNG) MV Review

Right after Winner's Live Countdown ended on V Live App, I rushed over to Winner's YouTube page. I watched Taehyun's MV and wow. So much story in a short five minutes and forty seconds. I did not expect for the music video to have this much depth. I couldn't help but catch the feels while watching Taehyun. Like, my heart hurts for him.



I expected the story to be in chronological order instead of flashbacks. I felt so bad for him in the storyline, especially in the end. From that kiss on her stomach, is she pregnant? I guess so, if Taehyun just left. But, could it be his? Or, she could have lied just so the other guy wouldn't find Taehyunnie in the closet. Oh my God, I'm losing it over this music video, but I love it so much. I abused the replay button and you could too. In case you missed it, check out the music video below ^^!


iKON's Jinhwan Really Made Fun of GFriend?

So, I'm browsing through the interweb and I come across this clip of Jinhwan at a concert:


The GFriend performance below is supposedly the performance that Jinhwan is mocking. *WARNING* this is painful to watch, especially if you're a Buddy.



Now, some may say, in his defense, that he trips all the time and he's actually mocking HIMSELF. Here is a compilation of Jinhwan tripping below:



Before I move on, let's get one thing straight: I am not an anti. I only like iKON because they are part of the YG Family. YG is my favorite music company out of the Big Three. However,when I see something rude, I will say something about it. It's called being unbiased. Anyways, it is clear that Jinhwan was mocking GFriend's Yuju because that so-called trip that he did was done on purpose. If you replay the clip again, you can slightly see Jinhwan lunge off one of his legs so that he can trip on purpose. And think about it: why would Jinhwan/iKON not choose another girl group to mock while tripping over themselves? I mean, they did a parody of EXID's Up&Down in the same concert and no one was tripping over themselves during that number.



Anywho, I hope no iKONICs get offended by my post. I just call it like I see it. Let me know what you think: was it on purpose or just an honest mistake?

SEVENTEEN Tenasia Spread!

SEVENTEEN has treated their fans by having their own spread in Tenasia magazine. Apparently, Tenasia became sold out on this issue in one day and are not able to reprint. However, next issue they will be printing b-cuts of the shoot.




























We GFriend Fans Have Been Bestowed With a Name!

Earlier today, GFriend got together with their fans for their one-year anniversary debut during a showcase on the V app. During the showcase, GFriend performed "Me Gustas Tu" and "Glass Bead" along with their recent single, "Rough." After their performance they announced their new fandom name....drumroll please. *Drumrolls*....BUDDY! Yes, we are now Buddies! GFriend thanked their fans by stating, "If we hadn’t had you with us for the past year, we wouldn’t be here." Soon after, a cake was brought to the stage congratulating their success while fans in the audience help up signs saying "You’ve worked hard for the past year! Good luck with ‘Rough’!" Seeing this, Yerin caught the feels. Aww Yerin D:

 ALSO, just recently, GFriend's album, Snowflake, is now #1 on iTunes K-pop section! Daebak, GFriend! Hwating!

Slayed By SlayFriend

Their Oxford, preppy style. Their choreography. I don't know which one I like more ㅠ. GFriend's "Snowflake" music video was just released today. Whatever GFriend fandom name is (I looked all over the Internet, and can't find anything), I'm now part of it. To me, GFriend reminds me why I fell in love with k-pop which was several years ago. They show off the innocent side of k-pop without being overly cute. 



I like the choreography of their music video because it wasn't the typical booty-shaking, hip-swaying dancing that most k-pop girl groups have adopted. Their lack-of-makeup, natural look makes them looks so authentic. Sometimes, not all the times, when I see too much makeup on a k-pop idol, I can't help but think how she looks under all that makeup if I don't know already. In case you missed it, the "Snowflake" music video is below.
