omonatheydid | Flashback Friday (Reply)

I’ve been working on the next batch of Flashback Fridays over the past couple of days, and we’re definitely starting to transition from the summer jams to more a mellow fall coming up. Still bops, but definitely a different vibe. Anywhos, I’m getting ahead of myself! I check out the charts for this Friday in a past year and post the top three songs. Then, I pick out two more from the top ten as honorable mentions. This week we’ll be going back three years, to the 3rd week of September, 2013.

#3 Teen Top “Rocking”
The only part of the song I remember is that part when there’s no lyrics and they’re just doing that shuffly feet dance thing. Why were they fighting in the beginning? And why was it never brought up again? Teen Top MVs continue to confuse me.

#2 Sunmi “24 Hours”
I really like this song and I like the choreography, but I don’t like the MV. I still can’t make it past the first couple of seconds, even 3 years later. I have no idea why I hate it so much, but I’d rather just watch the lives. But I really liked this hair on her.

#1 Kara “Damaged Lady”
I was not a fan of this era at all, honestly. And this MV…they look like they are wearing prom dresses, and not cute ones. The styling could’ve been so much better! But I think they all look so beautiful in the scenes where they are sitting on the throne with crowns on.

Honorable Mentions

#6 EXO “Growl”
I think this is the right version of the song? This is the only version that I recognize lol. I like this MV because one of my uniform choices in high school was in that exact same shade of grey and we had white button ups too, so I feel deeply connected to these looks.

#10 Spica “Tonight”
I feel like I’m biased about my love for this MV because like 85% of my wardrobe comes from Free People. But I think this is the best Tumblr/Instagram/Festival aesthetic/vibe/whatever you want to call it KPop MV. They look cute with all the minimal makeup and hair, and the whole thing just looks fun. This MV features cameos from the song’s co-writer, Lee Hyori, who is somewhere on a farm on Jeju Island right now ignoring our pleas for another “U-go-Girl”.
