I am really not feeling most of these releases, though the nugu "Mr. Liar" song is catchier than I expected. But dang, that video budget was so low it almost looks like it's from Chrome....

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

I'm not into most of the songs, based on the music show lives, HOWEVER this my first time watching the Mamamoo MV and how did they not get flamed to hell for that?

[mamamoos.livejournal.com]

i know at least on here the reaction wasn't good but the general public the world over are way too chilled about these topics :\ otherwise blurred lines wouldn't have been a hit haha

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

*sigh*

[velveteenkitten.livejournal.com]

If you're talking about the stalking and assault happening in the MaMaMoo MV my thoughts were the same. I know most of Omona didn't like it at all but I was suprised there wasn't more of a hoo haa about it generally.
But I've noticed that the whole stalking, perving and general harrassment type thing tends to be joked about a lot in kpop videos and some variety shows. It's super odd to me.

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

Like stalking, drugging, assault on the stalker by some perv on the plane, kidnapping, and just...What?

[velveteenkitten.livejournal.com]

I knooooooow. I started watching the video thinking "aww this is going to be cute" and then real quick it went to "How the fuck did this get approved?" Like who thought it would be a good idea.
It's like they thought, we'll just put some cute comic book colours in there and they can do silly facial expressions and it'll be fine, y'all.

[punx.livejournal.com]

Idgi. You're against all depiction of these things or what? What did you find objectionable about the video?

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

I want to presume you're joking but on the off chance you are not let's just agree you are so I can avoid a headache

[mamamoos.livejournal.com]

mte. it's one of those trends in kpop mvs very unfortunately

[leopolitan.livejournal.com]

omonas really the only place that called it out, i saw a lot more places defending it and crying about how any criticisms of it were just being oversensitive :-/

[velveteenkitten.livejournal.com]

Thanks for these posts, dear OP. I always miss some song releases as the scene moves too fast for my sloth way of life.

[mamamoos.livejournal.com]

aw np!

[suxaholic.livejournal.com]

melody days #love me is so underrated and those girls have pipes too

[pinkiikis.livejournal.com]

Thanks for sharing!! love it!

[achan123.livejournal.com]

thaks for the round up OP :D

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

thanks op!

[myrrhcat.livejournal.com]

aoa black, rainbow blaxx, a.kor black... is there a reason for this
thanks for the roundup, still gotta check some of these out!

[atopworld.livejournal.com]

OP, or maybe anyone, would it be allowed to put together a half-year music post. Like round up all the Monthly ones and just link to them?

Or nvm, guess I could just use tag...lmao.

[mamamoos.livejournal.com]

that's what i'm going for with the links at the top but i just started this last month i'm afraid p:

[kevinmchale.livejournal.com]

maybe if you like op you can go back to january at least? i'm sure a lot would appreciate!

[mamamoos.livejournal.com]

i dunno if i'm up to all that work ): i'll see!

[seulgibear.livejournal.com]

these posts are great! thank you OP! :D

(i think BTS's sick was also in june?)

[mamamoos.livejournal.com]

you're right! i amended the post, thank you!!

[hyungmoney.livejournal.com]

omg i didn't expect to see my queens on here. white wind is honestly such a fun song and the choreo is so fun to do too!!! i really love it. this month was a great month for k-pop, and this year overall has been really promising, can't wait for more

[mamamoos.livejournal.com]

i try to include everyone! though sadly some nugus don't even seem to have music vids

[punx.livejournal.com]

That Asha song is really good but the video is tragic, lol.
I feel like I could film something better with my own camera, in my house.

[kevinmchale.livejournal.com]

6/22 and they're all from the latter half hehe

[bubblyshades.livejournal.com]

thank you for putting this together, OP!! :) these compilations are a great way to keep abreast of Kpop releases

[bishieaddict.livejournal.com]

wow...i thought exo and big bang were released a long time ago. haha it's all relative I guess. so many groups I didn't listen to. I liked a few more songs that I never gave a chance.

[genesisgrey.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the recap! ^_^ I'd missed a few.
