Not really sure what the story is but I love it. They all look so good, and by that I mean the only ones I care about: Hyukjin, Chanyong, and Jonghwan.
I think that (well what I got from it) was that that girl wanted to bring Chanyong her lover back to life. Possibly using the other members as trial runs or for blood etc, but the result was well 'Frankenstein'. And Chanyong doesn't want to live as this kinda freak so rips out his heart. Obv they could have made a much longer extended story version which would have been quite cool but ah well.
Oh~ I see~ Pretty cool. Thanx!! I never try to understand Kpop MVs and usually read comments for the meaning of an MV. My attention gravitates towards the choreo and song. Hahaha.
If you look up the lyrics or watch the MV with subs it makes 10x more sense, there were a bunch of subtle differences I didn't notice from just hearing the song.
I think what happens in the story is that basically the girl and Chanyong were together, then split up for whatever reason (it says "Soldier in the Second World War" so maybe he got drafted/deployed or something), and then he dies and she realizes that she can't live without him so she starts remaking him and that's where the MV picked up. They could've done something amazing with this and I'm so frustrated because they didn't ;;
I wish there was a story version, they'd probably get more attention with that because otherwise it's just kind of...the same.
They look great and the gore is pretty well done, the scenes are also pretty well edited. Also Jonghwan ;u;. And Hyukjin got so many solo shots for once.
ugh im not fond of dark concepts :( and the song is quite boring to me, i wanted a jam like want u back but its not bad the question is why is the mv so cheap, they deserve better that girl is pretty but i dont get why she had to spent so much time on touching the armour
People have been saying that but Vixx's choreo isn't rlly original either, and this zombie thing has been done to death. There's only so many moves you can do to portray this concept anyways :/
But it IS original because frankenstein is not something vixx has done, nor anyone else for that matter but I agree that the way they went about it was cheap and non-descript, compared to vixx where you can clearly tell what they're specifically going for.
I like the song. The make-up is good too. The blonde dude who started off the song is really hot. Also the female is a really bad scientist if all of her creations ripped their own hearts out right after being giving life. Maybe someone who should have spent more time developing the brains more and less time caressing metal armor hmm?
It took me like 3 watches to get this, but the relevance to her stroking the armor is her remembering what it was like to touch that part of Chanyong's body. Like the flashbacks of her hugging or doing w/e of him focus on a certain part, and then she touches that same part of armor or attaches it to him.
Which I think could've been emphasized in a better way but it was p clever.
I like 100% but I must admit I was looking forward to this MV if only to see how close it would look to VIXX's latest use of this particular style/concept...
I hope they got a discount on the sets and choreo because it's second hand lol
I SPEND ONE HOUR TO GET A REPLY FROM 100%'S TWITTER REPLY PARTY ;_; I watched MV and listened to all the songs from Mini album and I'm feeling this finally!!
I love this MV. I especially love the choreo. The torso swivel move is the best! Their comeback was live right? It was awesome! And tbh, I like them as a 5 person group. All my favourite members are left here, so I definitely love this. :P
i kinda love it? its completely vixx - hyde/voodoo but that concept was done before vixx even soooooo idgaf but lol @ them lifting the N head twirl move i miss sanghoon tho (the only one i really gave two shits about) yesss give me all the ass dropping to the ground
but can we get a proper vampire mv with one of the group members getting eaten/having his neck sucked by another member and all the homoeroticism that follows?

I really love the dark visuals, although the song is a bit lacking in power to match. Which is a shame, cause it looks like they put a lot of money into making the music video and it turned out well.
And man, at first I thought the circular room was the same one from DBSK's Mirotic.
Liking the frankenstein monster concept but am I the only one thinking that the mv is a bit too short and abrupt? This would've been really great if they showed more of a story.
the mv is just ok. it does warrant a lot of comparisons with vixx's hyde, but personally i liked this mv more. the white set was very visually pleasing, and i also really liked the pitch black set with the sand. plus they all look amazing omg. rokhyun with the blue contacts and jonghwan and just chanyong's entire being.
i'm also happy bc as i was hoping, the song sounds much better on track. i wasn't sure about the harmonizing when they sang it live, but the recording is great. not their best, probably their weakest cb, but i love it nonetheless.
hmmm.... >.> i was promised blood and gore and THAT is all i get? the blood looked like red paint and some sort of red mist, like a red powder packet exploded and the gore didn't look... gorey. if that's supposed to be a heart.... i wonder what human has a heart that looks like that. plus, it's tiny. did she get the heart from a child!?
i don't think i've ever been this disappointed after watching an mv that i have been waiting for in a while :/ aside from the dance, the song and mv are huge disappointments for me because i know they're better than this. they tried something different in the horror/dark scene sure but it was such a let down in the follow though that they should have done a cop out and did vampires for all the good this did them. i mean, this is frankenstein! he doesn't even have stitches on him! WTF does the armor supposed to represent!? did she steal armor from them and that's what killed them?
going to the listening post and hope the other songs are better than all this
edit- all the other songs are so much better than the title. thank goodness for that
That song was bland. The choreo was way too good for such a low-key song. Also you can see the budget in the video. I tried to ignore it, but the cheap costumes and effects made it really hard. Maybe if they cut back on some of that and concentrated on one look in the mv, things would have turned out better? In any case, I'll be sitting this promotion out as well. Hope they have a better song in the future.
edit: And no thx to the blonde at the end making all those awkward faces. It just wasn't working out.
So many VIXX comparisons... as a VIXX stan I'm happy (my bbs are RELEVANT!!1!) but I didn't really see the similarities/rip offs. For one, I don't think they sound alike. The vocalists are completely different and I almost forgot there was a rap break in this song (whereas in VIXX's songs... 'RAAAAAAAAVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHH)
Concept wise - they were doing some weird futuristic cyborg stuff which is pretty different from VIXX's more gothic vibe. :\
besides, I welcome any concept that gives me half-nekkid boys
I do love the song and the choreo but this MV is missing a clearer storyline. I feel like they could have done more, but that's after seeing VIXX's Voodoo Doll MV which was really up there in terms of horror and gore.
meh... no. sorry. i'm disappointed. i've never been a proper real fan of them but their comebacks and songs were truly always a jam to me. song wise they were somewhat relevant in my mind. but not this time... :/ sorry not working for me. the song is forgettable and mv is so cheap... not my cup of tea. :(
I sort of feel bad for them. People on other sites are comparing them to VIXX, 2PM and even TVXQ. I'm not really following them, so I can't say I'm a fan, but I really like the MV and the song. I need more concepts like this one in Kpop. Thriller, Voodoo Doll, Hyde, On and On, Heartbeat and so on were perfect and this just adds one more to the list. :3
I like the song and the video is interesting enough (though it just lacked a little something to make it flow better imo) but somehow I can't quite yet see the two things as one...the song feels different from what the video does. Perhaps it's one of these things that will grow on me but then I dunno how many times I'm likely to watch it over, I'll prob be more interested in the live performances if they do them well...must check that out.
SERIOUSLY LOVE THIS KILLEM BOYS!!! the song is so them and the mv is gorgeous. and i absolutely looove the song!! as i said, its very them and i think they make it really lovely.
seeing only 5 of them up there hurts in a way i really didnt think it would ):
The MV set looks like Mirotic's. The whole concept reminds me of VIXX and B2st's debut days. The chorus choreo (the spread legs dance) reminds me of 4minute's Mirror Mirror and Rania's Dr. Feel Good. lol
Overall, there's nothing new. Quite forgettable. Or maybe, I just expected too much. They got some potential tho. The first guy who sang...I kind'a like his voice.
