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.

Is Girl's Day the only target? + poor styling

Pann : Why are you only criticizing Girl's Day when other female idols did the same thing 1. [+205, -21] Idiot, do you think this and those are the same? At least they're wearing underpants. I asked if Girl's Day was wearing underwear and do you know what the fans said? They said they were wearing thongs ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Thongs and underpants, which ones are worse? And Yoona's exposure was only done once, why bash her? Also, Hayoung wore jean shorts but still wore underpants. AOA also wears underpants. Do you not see how you can see the stage through Yura's shorts? How baggy are they that we can see through them? And they still didn't wear underpants, isn't it obvious? They could've told their CEO that they didn't want to do it. They said they're close to their CEO. They also joke around a lot, yet they can't say they don't like the concept? There were Panns of the CEO taking care of Minah but why is he making them do this? Girl's Day is still do...

Rookie groups these days have no impact?

Pann : Rookie groups these days have no impact? 1. [+97, -3] On music shows, male idols rap like they're the coolest rappers in the world ㅋㅋ It looks cringe-worthy and old-fashioned... None of them has outstanding visuals, either. I don't know why I should stan them. 2. [+95, -2] Some rookie boy groups' title track names are about how they're so cool and how they're going to seduce all girls. I naturally avoid them. 3. [+86, -5] It was excellent in 2008 ~ 2013 4. [+39, -0] I think the idol market has died. Hitting daebak as a new group seems too hard. The biggest problem is that there are way too many idols. 5. [+39, -0] Agreed. On music shows, I see a lot of new groups but none of them catches my eye. 6. [+35, -1] Honestly, there are so many rookie groups but they don't have unique colors... They're too similar. They also tend to copy other popular groups... There was a group that became controversial because they were a complete copycat of VIXX. 7. [+35, -...
