Hyoyeon x Min x Jokwon (ft. JYP) - 'Born to be Wild' MV

SMTown

Mods: I have replaced the original two links with the SMTown Youtube one!

I actually had hopes this would give Hyoyeon an opportunity to shine... I was duped and I should have seen it coming. This was horrible from start to finish, both musically and aesthetically (is that horrible gradient supposed to hide the cheap sets...?).

Who the hell edited this? The effects are a total mess, I can't even see them properly?? wtf
and the dance...idk it could have been more challenging
does Triple T stand for triple terrible?

Not even hilariously bad... it was just bad.

yikes

I was hoping for more Hyoyeon but it seems more like Min featuring Hyo and kwon instead. I kinda wish hyo and min traded outfits too, or at least gave hyoyeon extensions for more movement.

I don't hate the song or dance as much as others, but WTF fire whoever downgraded the footage into that grainy mess. they could have just done some colored flares and few instances of bad tv filter, would have had a similar feel without looking so shitty as that posterized mess.

.... Min doesn't deserve this.

Lol....really?

This song has been stuck in my head all day tbh I really like it, SM is trying to ruin it with that MV. the live version is evrything!

I'm really sold on it live, I glad they are doing all the music shows this week, Hyoyeon got a decent lines and she killing it live

idk how to feel. the chorus is actually catchy and fun and the choreo is cute. i'm not a min fan but she was cute in the video.

jo kwon looked a mess though and his solo scenes just no.

jyp idk why he's in this.

hyo's styling isn't great here and i would have liked to see her do some more hip hop style choreo.

lol, dang, I watched this earlier on v-app and loved everything but JYP's self insertion.. xD
The song and MV just seemed fun to me.. but then I totally have a thing for this sorta crazy ass video editing right now.

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

never thought that JYP would produce a song for SM. this collab is so random.

I would like to comment on the MV but I couldn't see anything

[premonitioner.livejournal.com]

i wanted so much from this, i'm so sad :(

honestly, i could have tolerated the tacky sets and maybe....just...maybe the late 90s styling but the melody was so jarring that i just can't like the song

the less said about that god awful editing the better, i'm surprised it didn't trigger a migraine for me

[cettefemme90.livejournal.com]

Some of those dance moves...what

They look like they're having some fun though so good for them I guess. Bad MV but decent-ish song.

[dickslikejesus.livejournal.com]

I wanted this to be good, even though I still don't know why you'd take Hyoyeon anywhere for anything more than the fact that she's a sick good dancer who never gets choreo to show case it. I know that they're really good friends, and I want SO BAD to see Min doing SOMETHING so I'll support it. That MV is terrible though, and I expected a little more from the choreo.

This had the right mix though, I was nervous since it was an SM station song that I'd have to hear a lot of Hyoyeon's boring voice, but they used her in the amount they should have I feel.

Why is JYP's name listed when all he does is hype at the start and at the end? You don't have to be featured on everything dude damn.

[suggestivepeach.livejournal.com]

Jyp actually composed the song

[suggestivepeach.livejournal.com]

I watched the live performance before the mv, so i'm probably more forgiving towards the song itself. It's not something i'd listen to often but it got stuck in my head and i found myself humming along to it all morning.

[sayuridoll.livejournal.com]

the song does nothing for me and the MV is literally unwatchable.
how many people did this MV go through to be approved??? i can't believe they released the MV this way

[unelixir.livejournal.com]

fuck i'd have done the music video for them for free and it'd way better than this crap

i'm so sad i thought this was gonna be hyoyeon's rising point but it's just a mess

[kwonsoonyoung.livejournal.com]

wth are y'all talking about, this is such a bop lol

no to the mv tho

[belintuchiha.livejournal.com]

pretty boring

[stephantasm.livejournal.com]

idk what people expected from this group of friends other than something like this...??? The song is cute, the mv is unwatchable.

[boxcuttergirl.livejournal.com]

im glad jo kwon gets to do another fast song, animal was a total bop

[aeries-amethyst.livejournal.com]

I have absolutely no idea why or how...But I think I kinda like it? O_O

[arysthaeniru.livejournal.com]

the song is slightly better live, though Hyo's rapping was....something I could have done without, tbh, the chorus is pretty catchy. Also wtf is Jo Kwon wearing in all of these, whyyyyy.

But the choreo is what truly disappointed me, even more than the shitty effects on their video. All three of them are fabulous dancers, and the choreo was so generic and boring and didn't sell the song to me at all. Triple Threat, my ass.

[elisaorange.livejournal.com]

I love it tbh.

The seizure-inducing filters are horrendous, they shouldn't have. But I enjoyed watching the three of them in the lives, and the song is not really my type but it's stuck in my head anyway.


I knew better than to expect them to give Hyo-Min the choreo they deserve, but they looked like they had fun, so that's good.

[chibi-rei.livejournal.com]

Kinda like the song, the MV is no. The live perf is decent tho!
