BoA's Top 15 Korean Songs - #12 - The Shadow



If "Moto" was showcasing BoA's abs, "The Shadow" is all about BoA's cleavage, and if that isn't enough reason to watch one of BoA's MVs, well, it sucks to be you.




I love the MV for this song, and BoA's brother has always done a great job with the MVs since BoA came back to Korea. The MV starts out with BoA in the white dress looking like a queen. The tree above the clouds represents the fact that no one is within BoA's league. Then the rest of the MV showcases BoA dancing among mortals while showing off how hot she is. Maybe the songs true meaning is that everyone else will be stuck in BoA's shadow. Yeah, I understand the lyrics, but if other K-pop fans are allowed to make shit up about MVs and songs, so can I!

"The Shadow" definitely reminds me of her older songs with a more modern sound. The beat isn't that fast for a pop song, sounding like it could be a mid-tempo song by today's standards. What helps this song is the strong bass line, otherwise this song could have been pretty forgettable. The rest of the instrumental is drowned out by the bass. However, the bass helps keep the verses entertaining enough to listen to until we get to the chorus, which is pretty good.

Overall, "The Shadow" is a very good song, and it was a great idea for BoA to promote it along with "Only One," as the songs have contrasting styles.

Pann : One of top 3 visuals on Show Me The Money, Vernon 1. [+85, -18] Woah I thought he was Dicaprio. His face is a waste to be an idol. 2.

It's a miracle: Hyunseung looks good in his latest MV

Hyunseung mostly doesn't look like a freak in the video for his solo debut, "Ma First." Mostly. It's difficult being a Hyunseung fan.* First off, he didn't get to be in Big Bang, so we'll always be plagued with the question "What if?" You could've been a "Loser" too, Hyunseung. ... Oh, but I guess you already are. Nm. Then when he's with his fellow Beast members, he hardly gets any screen time, unless he's doing some unattractive Michael Jackson ripoff dance. And how can we forget the time he got a massive boner during that Troublemaker stage? Hope Mom wasn't watching this perf. Top all that with the fact that he's styled like an escaped mental patient most of the time, and it's easy to see why he's not topping many people's bias lists. The struggle is real. There was relief for Hyunseung fans this week, though, as the video for his latest song, "Ma First," was released — and the boy looked hot. Rea...

When Vernon was in elementary school: Present: Pann : Is this when Seventeen Vernon was in elementary school? 1. [+65, -16] He really looks like Dicaprio, fuck. He's the handsomest idol I've seen so far. A Western visual does wonders... 2. [+44, -2] He's mixed but he's more comfortable with Korean because he's been living in Korea since he was young 3. [+33, -2] <3 4. [+24, -1] I've lived in the US and his visual is also considered very handsome among Americans. I'm about to become his fan ㅋㅋ 5. [+24, -1] He's honestly a top idol visual. He raps and his voice is really good, too. 6. [+21, -1] The more I see him, the more he looks like a foreign actor 7. [+20, -0] He's still in grade 11. He'll get handsomer in the future. He looks like Leo. 8. [+18, -0] Be his fan 9. [+17, -0] His visual is too good to be an idol... So handsome 10. [+17, -0] He reminds me of Leo's legendary days. He's so handsome.
