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.

Rain recounts a story of when Park Jin Young went above and beyond for him

Article : Rain expresses gratitude towards Park Jin Young for dropping everything to be there for his mother "It's thanks to hyung that my mother got to live a few more weeks" Source : Insight via Instagram "When I was around 17-18 years old, my mother fell sick and I couldn't take her to the hospital because I didn't have any money. I asked several places for help but no one could offer it. I then asked Jin Young hyung, 'Hyung, please save us. I don't have any money to hospitalize my mother.' Jin Young hyung then canceled all of his schedules and came to my home. He put my mother on his back, got her a car, and took us to the hospital. He co-signed for us and got us in. It was thanks to him that I got to be with my mother for another two weeks." 1. [+528] Even when he's as rich enough to have 45 billion won now... I'm sure the 2-3 weeks he got to spend with his mother were more meaningful than anything else. And no wonder he feels so...

Article: 2017 starts off to another girl group rush Source: TV Report via Naver 1. [+208, -5] For how much name value AOA has, their digital rank has been lost in Andromeda..... not even comparable to Cosmic Girls or April anymore because I don't even see them on the Melon charts. What happened? Did AOA's fandom just die out? 2. [+130, -10] A battle of the minor groups, basically... 3. [+191, -31] Twice (nation's girl group, energetic, cute) Girlfriend (innocent) IOI (nation's producer) Red Velvet (quirky?) Black Pink (hip hop) Mamamoo (talent)... all of the current girl groups have different charms and styles with set fandoms so there really isn't any more room for other groups or fandoms 4. [+106, -10] Every new debut recently has been flop after flop... 5. [+120, -27] AOA, Cosmic Girls, and April all flopped ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 6.

Mamamoo Hwasa's sexual performance?

Pann : Mamamoo Hwasa, isn't this too much? 1. [+140, -5] It looks more sexual because she has a good body. It was Mamamoo's concert and it was +15. 2. [+95, -15] This is why they say women's enemy is women. You call it sexy when male idols rip their clothes off and do pelvic dances but it's a problem when a female idol does it? It only looks sexy and pretty. 3. [+85, -1] It would be considered too much if this was done on broadcast but it was a +15 concert. It's fine. 4. [+35, -0] It's still better than female idols' lolita appeal nowadays 5. [+26, -0] It looks more like that because the dress color is nude. And like in foreign countries, adult sexiness is better than short school uniforms and lolita. 6. [+23, -0] You never bought an album and yet you're complaining about this and that 7. [+22, -1] It's a concert anyways. Other male idols wear more sexual clothes. 8. [+21, -26] It looks a bit off...
