5. [+293, -8] Isn't this concept too much? What do they expect students to learn from this? (OP note: then what do they expect students to learn from wolf for example? 🤔) Their agency is so irresponsible.
6. [+284, -5] They all look drugged out... I feel bad for them

Article: 'Triple H' Hyuna's provocative MV falls to sexually suggestive controversy "Scared that it'll hit public broadcast"

1. [+2,519, -57] Might as well shoot a porno... what is this...
2. [+2,411, -52] So it's at threesome concept now??? ㅋㅋ
3. [+2,067, -60] I really am scared that a music video like this will be shown on public broadcast
4. [+176, -3] She's always giving interviews about how she hates only being known for her sexy image;;;; Hyuna-ya, you need to match your words to your actions
5. [+156, -6] She's always stripping down ever since getting her boob job ㅋㅋ
6. [+148, -2] The title of the song is supposed to be about being cool 365 days of the year but the music video is about running away, murder, drug abuse, threesomes... this is supposed to be cool?
7. [+125, -3] Justified skin exposure? Then I guess that must make this music video an AV to justify this! And Hyuna-ya, don't you think you're old enough to know what's appropriate and isn't?! You're way past the stage where you have to do whatever's thrown at you! What is this... just go shoot a porno if you're going to go this far.
8. [+104, -1] Nevermind the skin exposure, the music video's plot itself is weird
9. [+100, -3] So what justifies this music video? Go and practice your singing, you're sexy enough without all of this
10. [+95, -4] She's like this on music videos and then she'll go on variety shows acting all innocent and blank paper like "I'm normally not like that~"
11. [+84, -1] The music video's a mess... assault, drunk driving, suicide attempt, hiding a dead body... What was the director thinking? Not only is it sexual but extremely violent as well.
12. [+53, -0] There's nothing sexy about this

The mv was to obviously drum up controversy/attention, but Cube needs to realize they can't play to Hyuna's sexuality all the time for marketing. People get "used" to it and they have to keep amping it up because it gets kinda stale. But I'm here for that hot mess of the mv. I just wish they didn't kill themselves in the end, but escaped the cops and drove to the boonies.

Also LOL at Hui getting the leftovers of that threesome. Notice how he was the only one clothed in the bed?

Being the odd man out is what makes me "hmmm" at threesomes.
Omona, would ya'll ever do a threesome? Have you ever done on? What would you do if you're being "left out"?

[bob-dabuilda.livejournal.com]

To answer my own question, I never did one but I'd be down for it if the other two were good looking and I wasn't left out. Gotta be the center of attention LMAO.

[zui-circus.livejournal.com]

Just watched the MV, i gagged! but the song is so bad, like so bad.

[violoncelliste.livejournal.com]

Feels wrong to glamorize bad things like drugs, suicide attempts, kissing in the bathroom

this person just implied that kissing in the bathroom is as bad as drugs or a suicide attempt

(there were drugs in the mv? i didn't notice lol)

anyway like most ppl said in the mv post, the suicide aesthetic is gross as heck, but most of those poor assholes here are afraid of hyuna's boobs and the possibility of a threesome more than anything else so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[1of1girl.livejournal.com]

lmao i cackled when i read that comment about kissing in the bathroom being put there with drugs and suicide.

[dynamite-state.livejournal.com]

Feels wrong to glamorize bad things like drugs, suicide attempts, kissing in the bathroom...

One of these things is not like the others, netizen sis!

Way too many of these comments focus on the sexual stuff instead of the legit troubling (I refuse to unironically use "problematic") aspects of the video. There are concerns about it I honestly get even if I don't personally mind them, the "threesome" scene is not one of them

[bob-dabuilda.livejournal.com]

"kissing in the bathroom"
They probably got reminded of Yoochun and his scandal.

Anyways, I see where you're coming from with treating suicide as a light, humorous thing. Them singing "I'M SO FRESH" while you see them jumping to their deaths....and the tumblr aesthetic of romanticizing suicide amongst "troubled youth" who are misunderstood/misfits as they party away is overplayed.

I still enjoyed it, but Modjo's Lady did the partying youth threesome concept better.

[broadcities.livejournal.com]

i'm agreeing with them on the suicide glorification, but of course these netizens - of whom some of them probably watch (threesome) porn regularly - think the sexual stuff is worse. i'm also annoyed that hyuna is shamed the most out of this. they always hold up her, and girls in general, to a much higher standard.

[dio-elaclaire.livejournal.com]

i love how hyuna's getting all the hate and how glamorized suicide seems less problematic than some skin exposure to most of these people...

and i can't stop laughing at the "kissing in the bathroom". really? i mean, really???

[sjtaazrz.livejournal.com]

She's getting the hate because 1.she's more famous but also 2. she said recently that she doesn't like showing skin just because or for shock value and that it should be justified.

So people are all like "o rly? THIS is justified?" Because the plot is all over the place and doesn't even fit the song.

[daceymormont.livejournal.com]

To be honest I'm over the suicide aesthetic too so I totally get why people don't like it. The mv is like a trashy tarantino movie and I can appreciate that, so apart from the suicide scenes I like it a lot?
But rme @ the outrage because of the kissing scenes and the potential threesome lol that's not the problem here

[xlovexlessxtyx.livejournal.com]

yeah the implied sexual stuff was the least problematic thing here. But of course... netizens gonna netiz.

[honeebs.livejournal.com]

that's really sad
They missed the mark on this unit right out the gate.
But on the other hand if they would have gone with H writhing around and the boys humping about there would be shit to say too. Double edge sword.
Is this a single song release or do they get another chance?

[mntsuklaa.livejournal.com]

8. [+235, -3] It concerns me that they're idols whose main consumer base are teens... they're showing negative sexual things to them ㅠㅠ
Netizen 8 is absolutely right, there were no condoms visible anywhere in the video. If you're going to kiss someone in the bathroom or have a 3some with people you just met you absolutely need to wrap that shit and be positively safe.

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

I mean... I agree with some of those comments
There's nothing fun about glamorizing suicide, especially when the base audience is koreans teens
In korea, suicide is ont of the biggest cause of death for people from their 10s to 30s


On a k-pop centric note: this just looks like hyuna big sis trying to help pentagon

[boxcuttergirl.livejournal.com]

idk why people are acting like netz are being 100% irrational, a lot of this stuff (especially glorifying suicide) isn't cute or "fresh" in any way

[boxcuttergirl.livejournal.com]

also "OP note: then what do they expect students to learn from wolf for example? 🤔"

last i checked wolf didn't have people killing themselves while singing about how "cool" they are. don't act like these things are comparable.

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

my comment was about the fact that netizens want students to learn something from idol mvs

[miyozari.livejournal.com]

glamorising suicide is disgusting and i don't really like the song. so... let'em hate this mv!

[belintuchiha.livejournal.com]

WWE's Triple H remains as the best Triple H.

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

I dislike how the MV glamorize suicide (a better ending would have them running away from the cops to another country) but that's not even what drives most of these netizens mad??? Hyuna's boobs or the eventually of a threesome (which I don't think is what happened) are apparently more offensive than jumping from a bridge, wtf.

[babyjenkski.livejournal.com]

lmao at OPs notes!

Hyuna's advice to Hui and Hyojong was to not read comments after the release. After 10yrs in the kpop world, she knows how it is. I like the music. I watch MVs just to be entertained (or maybe I'm just not a deep person like others) but didnt like the MV much coz there's something missing with the story.

[frankoceans.livejournal.com]

i find it incredibly disturbing how they thought they could end the mv by making the 3 of them killing themselves at the end, we know the statistics on this matter, that was really tasteless

the mv was obviously made to get people to talk about it

[seulgibear.livejournal.com]

i, for one, am SHOCKED at these netz WHO would have expected these comments

[lazmy.livejournal.com]

i am in a meeting trying not to scream bc of this gif

[supersunshiner.livejournal.com]

I SCREAMED AT THE TRIPLE H WRESTLING COMMENT

[dynamite-state.livejournal.com]

it was hilarious

[evilcoc0nut.livejournal.com]

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

when a groups 'controversies' make more noise than their music i always feel like they agency dont trust groups talents and just keeps putting them out there for any kind of attention they can get .... even if that means negative reviews

i'm sure hyuna and pentagon kids deserve better

[jrt131n.livejournal.com]

I agree on the suicide subject. Meh on the weed thing since I would be a hypocrite and snicker at the kissing in a bathroom complaint. But yeah, this is a tried trope that been done too many times.

[staaan.livejournal.com]

they're flopping on the charts. idk what cube was thinking, i like pentagon (hyuna too) so i wanted them to do well but this never seemed like it would

i'm just really annoyed at the suicidal ideation. pisses me off bc i've already seen people make tweets with screenshots of the suicide attempt scenes with some wannabe funny captions

[yixingsforehead.livejournal.com]

i just watched this....so unnecessary
i could roll my eyes at knetizens finding different things problematic than i do, but at the end of the day, i hope this just makes cube stop trying to put hyuna's boobs everywhere, and in general make better videos with better messages

like wtf not even just one suicide attempt

[kaykaydelight.livejournal.com]

They should be dragging them for what a flop the song and MV is. Can't believe TroubleMaker died for some Pentagon promo🙄
