Hyuna's 'Red' Lands at #5 on Rolling Stone's List of Best Music Videos of 2014

5. Hyuna, "Red"

Hyuna's K-pop hit is a schizophrenic mess, switching from trap and hip-hop to bubbly pop and slinky Middle Eastern electro. The video does its best to keep up: While rapid scene shifts follow the song's structure, wild images bring its lyrics to life. "A monkey's butt is red," goes the chorus, and on screen, a monkey with a bright red butt appears. "My lipstick is red..." and just like that, Hyuna's wiggling on a pair of giant lips. The part where Hyuna's about to cry? That's when she's singing about being lonely. Some major Korean broadcasters thought the original video was too hot for TV, which means it might just right for an American crossover.

YES! Get that recognition, my queen. Hands down one of my fav kpop tracks/MVs of the year - if not my fav. She looked fabulous throughout the entire cycle of promotion and the live performances were great <3

I have two thoughts with this video 1.what a PITA it must have been to wash off all that glitter. A week later finding glitter in places it was never meant to go because that sh*t goes everywhere and 2. can we all agree no more with the playboy bunny stuff, it would have totally kicked butt if she used Wonder Woman's crown and not those demeaning bunny ears.
