I agree. I would go even further back and say since Red Flavor. But it’s not surprising when you take into account that the top ggs of this generation are basically sexed up versions of their 2nd generation predecessors. SNSD, 2NE1, and f(x) were never made to appeal to male fans the way Twice, BlackPink, and now Red Velvet are.
I feel like some music videos of the 2nd gen girl groups were filled with male gaze like SNSD's genie and f(x)'s Chocolate Love (this one especially because they were so young :/).
it's crazy to think that snsd got the sensual, tamer version of chocolate love while f(x) with most of the members being minors at the time got the sexy version of chocolate love :/
the one from itnw in the last chorus. they weren't really seen as sexy until genie but it's still an interesting choice of choreo to me as you can see their underwear (or rather their safety shorts). kissing you is also not technically sexy but it's infantilizing as hell which is just as bad
I get Kissing You, but the kick from ITNW is literally just the climax of the song and choreography. It’s one of the few times in kpop where it’s not an obvious ploy to get an upskirt shot.
Guess I'm the only one who's not a fan of the sexualised girl scout outfits lol. But the teasers in the beach chairs look nice and I'm hoping for another summer jam
I'm really excited for this! I like the bright colours and all. however, not here for sexualised girl scouts; when I first saw the second image, I saw Irene first and was like aw cool, sashes, we're doing sashes this time! and then I saw everyone else and went ah. right. okay. sashes because *girl scouts*, great.
i’m a bit let down, rv are usually top-tier in aesthetic but this feels a bit... basic? i’m not a fan of the bright colors in the 2nd pic. these are only the first pics though so i’m gonna have to wait to properly judge
the cocktail thing is cute, got joy’s green sunrise. looked kinda gross tho lmao
