[MV Review] Infinite

[MV Review] Infinite - "The Eye"

Infinite is back and as consistent as ever!

Infinite is one of k-pop's most consistent boy groups, and I mean that in a good way. Since debut they've had a signature sound, and have kept to it without getting boring. Even their worst song, awful "Man In Love", still had a very Infinite sound to it. "The Eye" doesn't do much to change that sound but that doesn't make it any less of a great release.

"The Eye" has the instruments I've grown accustomed to hearing from Infinite: piano, strings (violins), synths, and hard hitting drums. The song starts of slow and gradually builds into the awesome chorus, the only complaint is that the electronic beat that comes right after the chorus could have been implemented better. I feel like it was shoehorned in there five minutes before the album had to be mass-produced. The second verse does a good job of carrying the electro beat though, thus making the next little sputter less jarring. Overall the song does good to carry the sound they've had, it's like somewhere between "Back" and "Bad" and that's a great thing.

The music video is pretty much what Infinite have been doing since their inception. Dark concepts, with lots of action and tense moments, kind of like an 80s action movie which, given that Infinite was once known for being incredibly 80s, this suits them. The styling is all black everything which works because everyone looks good in black. No member got shafted styling wise at all, even Sungjong's platinum blond hair works. He looks fucking stunning.

Moving up that bias latter.

The only complaint I have about this video is, not enough Sungyeol. Seriously, the dude get's more and more shafted each comeback.

As good as "The Eye" is, it's not the best track on the album. "Infinite Only" is one of the best mini's of 2016 thanks to "AIR" and "Zero."

Seriously, "Air" is a contender for my favorite b-side of 2016 period.

According to some peeps I follow on Twitter that are living/visiting Korea "Air" and "Zero" have been playing on the streets more than "The Eye." That's quite funny and understandable.

Overall, this is another great comeback for Infinite, and hands down one of the best boy group releases of 2016.

Next reviews will be SHINee and BTS.

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...

Pump up the pearly volume - big boobs in k-pop guide part 4

The post that k-pop's tits perverts have waited patiently for all year is finally here, it's the return of the Kpopalypse big boobs guide! Who can possibly keep up with the amount of big boobs in k-pop? Kpopalypse, that's who! Read on as Kpopalypse brings you the joys of objectification and superficial fetishism once again! Actually to be completely honest, I have trouble keeping up with new groups much the same as anybody, especially as I don't tend to pay much attention to the individuals in very new groups, so that's where the help of trusty caonimas came in. I asked readers in a recent survey to nominate entrants for this list, and received several hundred responses which I will now distill in the following post. Thanks to all those of you who helped me out here - but note that most of you picked girls who had in fact already been covered in previous episodes of this series, so make sure you visit the following links to double-check the trufax ...

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...
