( very brief commentary )

I usually post a list of links for my favourite MVs each month. It makes it easier when it's the end of the year and I'm trying to narrow down my top 10 releases. The tweet is here but might as well start crossposting to dw too...

Seulgi - 28 Reasons
I actually think they could've leaned harder into this concept and this song, I WANTED it to go harder! But even so it's Seulgi, and it looks amazing, and she performs it so well, so I love it. The mini was really strong too.

Saay - Talk 2 Me Nice
This took me by surprise at the end of the month. I love the visuals of this and the noir conceit that casts Saay as both the femme fatale and the jaded protagonist.

Kingdom - 백야 (Long Live The King)
French royal court cosplay? Don't mind if I do. They always deliver on visuals though I'm pretty sure their budgets are limited. They really make the most of it.

Jiae - Love is Love
Lovely, smooth song and a simple MV. She's the former Wassup member who came out as bisexual and had to crowdfund to release her album. I've preordered the album and am looking forward to it.

T1 x Raiden, The Boyz - Last Man Standing
Had to include my boyz!!! I genuinely like the song. The visuals are a bit murky. Wish it was better lit. But I do like it a lot.

Kwon Eunbi - Underwater
She's gorgeous always. Her entire solo career has been so good for me.

Lee Chaeyeon - Hush Rush
FINALLY!!! I know she's not the last IZ*ONE to redebut but she's the member I knew best and I really felt like she had just dropped out of sight. The MV is so delightful, the cutest vampire.

Pink Fantasy - Get Out
Love my haunted goth girls, they always deliver.

Class:y - Tick Tick Boom
A fascinating meta statement on idol reality/survival shows, rather on point for a group itself formed through a very similar process.

Wei - Spray
Really fun song! The MV is fine.

Rie (Onlyoneof) - because
I love the whole world OnlyOneOf have built up with this series of gay love stories! This one is a break up song but I choose to believe they're gonna get back together.

Ten - Birthday
The lyrics are both horny and cheesy. But the visuals are sooo good... he's a star.
