B1A4 - Baby Good Night M/V

Original Facebook post on June 27, 2012 at 8:04pm:

I hate k-pop groups that go for the cutesie angle. Except for B1A4. They try so hard that it's funny. A bit like a movie that's so bad it's good. There's silly English, overacting, cheesy dances, funny outfits (poor kid in the poncho...), and somehow the chorus always gets stuck in my head. Watch this one for a few giggles.

U-KISS's Evolution

cr: 27skylove
I just edited them from 9 gifs into one.
Of course, something to note is that Kiseop (in the middle) wasn't actually in the group until the third set of images. (Man Man Ha Ni)

f(x) - Electric Shock M/V

Original Facebook post on June 16, 2012 at 3:22am:

f(x) is high on my list of girl groups, partially because they refrain from the super-cutesie stuff. (See A-Pink, TTS, Hello Venus.)The song is quite catchy, not obviously autotuned, and the chorus is basically "electric shock na na na". Easy to sing along. ^^ The dance looks like it would be fun to learn. (Jump, jump, shake booty.) There are some weird moments and the blue circle contact lenses kinda freak me out. Overall, me gusta.

Ailee - Heaven M/V

Original Facebook post on June 13, 2012 at 9:13pm:

One MV share before I say goodnight. I love this song. It gets stuck in my head from time to time and I can't help but sing along with it in my car in my funky pseudo-Korean. (As long as I get the vowels right, I consider it a success.) The harmonies are really cool and she has a very pretty voice. But you definitely shouldn't watch this in a dark room with the brightness turned up on your monitor, unless you feel like being blinded. And now ... Goodnight!

Juniel - My First June M/V (Feat. Yonghwa of CNBlue)

Original Facebook post on June 12, 2012 at 10:41pm:

Totally loving this. My First June is a very sweet, feel good song. Juniel and Yonghwa's voices sound really good together (and they sound just as good live). The video's a bit cheesy, but I'll let it slide. ^^

U-KISS - Believe M/V

Original Facebook post on June 8, 2012 at 5:09am:
I'll try to keep this short. (Which is *really* difficult for me on this one...)

The Good: The music. Written by AJ (the first member in the video). Nice tempo, chorus gets stuck in my head.
The Bad: The video. A few awkward moments, lighting funkiness, terrible green pants, Dongho's weird necklace.
The Ugly: AJ accidentally smacks Kevin in the face at about 2:20 and it looks like it really hurt.

EDIT: Enough people noticed the accident that NH Media actually released a re-edited version of the video. Never heard of that happening before.

Wonder Girls - Like This M/V

Original Facebook post on June 2, 2012 at 5:34pm:

On a completely different 'note' (get it? *snort*), first new Wonder Girls MV in a while and me likey! It's upbeat, catchy, has an fun dance, and is filmed in a flash-mob style. I wonder if they did it as a real flash mob. That would be awesome. Oh, and turn on the closed captions if you'd like to see the lyrics in English. JYP Entertainment puts subtitles in all of their videos.



Oh! Found a making-of teaser. Cool to watch, despite the unnecessarily epic background music and incorrect English.

BIGBANG - Monster M/V

Original Facebook post on June 2, 2012 at 5:09pm:

New BigBang MV! Liked the song right away. I'm sort of torn on the visuals, though. The music video has some ... interesting hairstyle choices. Daesung also gets the weirdest nose piercings I've ever seen. At one point, GD looks like Number 2 from Kids Next Door. And yet there's GD's other hairstyle and I love that they're keeping Daesung blonde. I like most of the costumes. TOP is perfect, of course. ^^ There are some impressive effects. The end of the video reminded me of the end of Portal, which was a bit weird. Anyway, sorry to ramble.
