BoA's Top 15 Korean Songs - #11 - Hurricane Venus



BoA had finally returned to Korea and came out with a great title track in "Hurricane Venus". Admittedly, I only liked the song at first. I think many factors contributed to why the song/concept didn't click with me at first, but over time, the song has steadily climbed up my list of favorite songs from BoA.




A lot of the dance songs BoA had in her 2010 album "Hurricane Venus" sounded like they could have gone to f(x) or SHINee. Not like that was a problem, but it had showed how long BoA had been away and how much K-pop had changed in just five years. "Hurricane Venus" just didn't seem like a BoA song when it came out.

Other problems stemmed from the weird "-ic" words that SM loved to shove into songs even if they didn't make sense, compounded with a weak choreography (for BoA's standards) and awful makeup, which made BoA look ten years older than she was.

However, despite all of the stylistic errors, the song still shines. We're treated to a catchy electronic song with a strong bass, addicting chorus, and some ad-libbing at the end for vocalfags to wank off to. This song is very easy to put on repeat, as the song lacks any boring parts.

And okay, the best reason to like this song:

Ulzzang couple Ryu Hye Joo and Park Jiho broke up?

Pann : Crazy, I think Ryu Hye Joo and Park Jiho broke up 1. [+475, -24] I had a trip to Busan and went to a club. I saw Park Jiho there ㅋㅋㅋ He was hanging out with plastic monsters at a table. I was sure it was him because I watched Ulzzang Shidae so many times when it was popular. I was cursing him because he had a girlfriend and yet he was hanging out with other girls at a club. I wondered if they broke up so I looked up on Ryu Hye Joo's Instagram, and she was in Japan ㅋㅋㅋㅋ In that morning, Park Jiho posted a picture of a sandwich on a passenger seat and wrote about how he misses Ryu Hye Joo and how it's empty without her. It was such a plot twist ㅋㅋ He was having fun freely since his girlfriend was away in Japan. He seemed to notice us because we kept staring at him ㅋㅋㅋㅋ He ended up leaving. What a delinquent! I highly doubt the reason why they broke up is because of their crashing personalities. I'm sure it's because of him flirting around. 2. [+374, -4] Yoo Bohwa a...

post response: [+33][-1] original post: here 1. [+21, -1] Our captain ❤ 2. [+16, -1] Jun Soyeon is freaking pretty 3. [+13, -1] No but our God-Sso-captain-nim is no joke...ㅠㅠ captain-nim, I love you 4. [+5, -1] Ha, but we're not certain yet if they will go for the Japanese style or not. I know that they released a Hanbok teaser but even so, it's not confirmed. But seriously, if they went for a Japanese or Chinese style, I will kinda feel meh 5. [+5, 0] The coordi's role this time will be so important. The 'Asian feel' can be a bit ambiguous so if they do something wrong, they could get a lot of hate from China too... And if they go for a Japanese style, they will get hate too ㅠ coordi, please do well. If the coordi makes a mistakes, Idle will receive the hate 6. [+5, 0] The clothes look like the ones from Hann and the kids said that they wanted to do it the Korean style, so I'm not worried
