[MV Review] BLACKPINK - "Playing With Fire"



The second song to be released from their new set, and their best song overall. One of the best of the year to be honest.


Remember the theory that if Teddy and Han Ye Seul broke up then YG songs would get better? Well a few days before this was released they announced to have officially broken up, so either this had been going on for some time or Teddy wrote and produced this song overnight because this song is really fucking good.


Again, I love everything about Lisa's presence in the MV.



This is the upbeat electro-pop song 2NE1 should have released a long time ago. What makes "Playing With Fire" work is that it's not sloppy and trying to be something so hard that it adds in extra bells and whistles which in the end wind up making and worse song, not a better one. The song has one pleasant melody, good usage or rapping and instruments, a really nice pace (not to fast, not to slow) and makes use of a good beat without over-trapping it. The song stands out among other releases, not just with YG but also with releases over the entire year, and this coming from someone who hasn't been disappointed with 2016 releases in a general sense.


Jennie's ridiculously pretty.

Side note - people have been comparing Lisa's rapping to Hyuna's. I honestly don't hear it, if anything she sounds like AOAs Jimin (especially during the "burn baby burn" parts.)

While "Stay" was much more of the softer tumblr aesthetic type of video, "Playing With Fire" dives deeper into a classic ultra HD YG video, which works with this kind of song. It's the kind of imagery you'd expect, lots of fire and lots of water and lots of good shots of the member. Again the girls beauty is no joke here, they all look great. I especially like the fashion choices, and enjoyed the contrast between the sequined glamour outfits they wore in the dance shots in comparison to their more casual wear in the individual portions. 


Rose is one of the few idols that can pull that hair color off.


Overall this was great release and I hope Blackpink continues to get handed quality songs like this in the future.


Best styling on Jisoo yet!

WARNING: post contains lots of high quality GIFS of ass, they take a while to load!

The last time I did an ass survey, I made a huge list of k-poppers and people could tick as many boxes as they wanted, but of course they were restricte...

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 ...
