i like how when hyorin's supposed to be sensual her hair is out of braids but when she's supposed to look tougher or standing with the guys her hair is in braids
bye
bora better not be seen with braids in jooyoung's MV otherwise i'm actually done lol
...but she was doing the same "sensual" moves in the close ups in braids tho?
Not trying to defend her or anything (so not Hyorin's fan), just that I read your comment first before watching the vid and was expecting something different.
I feel like Zico's not very good at adapting his style to songs that aren't his own. I liked Hyolyn's and Palo Alto's parts, but Zico can leave off. Someone left a comment on nb that the 3 artists sound like they're each in their own song instead of collabing, and imo that's a pretty good summary of what's going on here. Still, I like the song.
I don't like the use of the bear cub, and I think the mv was v. dated in a bad way. Not cohesive at all.
this is so boring and disappointing WHY DIDN'T HYORIN RAP? WHY'S HER HAIR IN BRAIDS? WHY DOES SHE HAVE A FAKE EYEBROW PIERCING? i filmed a reaction vid to this song cuz i thought it would be messy but its so boring im just like scowling at the screen the whole time asking why hyorin isnt rapping
Great song as expected from those composers. Would LOVE if this could take over some of the mainstream rnb sound but I have my doubts. Hopefully the star power helps.
Can someone explain to me (a non African American) why only a few people even mentioned Hyorin's braids but when it's say CL she gets bashed to high heaven? Hwasa gets absolved of all responsibility too since almost all of the comments on that post were "oh hwasa who styled you/gave you cornrows?". Is it because Hwasa/ Mamamoo can do no wrong? What is appropriating and what's not?
idk why you're expecting a detailed explanation, obviously there's a bias on omona and not everyone here is black or some black people are just tired of calling out something that never changes. i equally sideeye everyone involved. even moonbyul had braids the other day which was the cherry on top of whatever's going on with mamamoo.
also, idk why your comment rubbed me the wrong way but it did. it's gross and irritating everytime a kpop artist tries to use braids to look hard... when blackness is still seen aggressive and black ppl are being treated like shit globally. like black kids (who wear these braids) don't get shot down.
it felt like you were searching for an out for whoever your fave is because ppl aren't calling out hyorin as fervently, like this is a game. maybe bc hyorin/mamamoo have only just started on their descent towards fuckery?
also when you say none african american what do you mean? african americans aren't the only ones affected by this negative definition of blackness.
I'm really loving the song. I would really like if South Korea would also get into more modern R&B sound like this. What comes to MV, I'll just ignore it.
I really like the song. Her braids look half assed. Why couldn't they have put her in the outfit she had on in the cage for the teaser pic? That's a hella cuter outfit.
I wasn't expecting to actually like the song, well maybe apart from Zico's part which sounded... off? Like he was on a different song/concept. The MV though... no.
You know I could actually see myself listening to this. It's a good song to just throw on in the background for something kind of chill. It's definitely a lot better than what I was originally anticipating when I heard about this group.
Wow, I'm in love with this song. I'm surprised at the negative comments. The video is so tryhard. I love the beat, did Zico compose? The lyrics are nice as well.
awful song

The song is decent tho, and the MV isn't as bad as I expected from the teaser.
