♪ "Under pressure, body sweating — Can you focus? // I DELIVER, I CAN PROMISE — I'M THE COLDEST" ♪

ONE LOOK, GIVE 'EM WHIPLASH! I'm so glad that the actual song & MV sound much better than the teaser snippet. It's not apparent how "Whiplash" relates to aespa's universe lore, but since there are new ae-avatars for the girls, this might be a new world & storyline. This MV is another insane mix of multiple things happening at once:

Filming set/equipment (there are several items that I don't know the names of)

Various dance sets (typical "box MV" stuff, but each is so cool & different)

Random martial arts poses (I have no explanation for this, but the girls are ready to FIGHT BACK when necessary)

Color inversion scenes (i.e. what traditional film negatives look like)

Intermittent text boxes (black & white ones were OK, but the red ones kind of hurt my eyes)

Outdoor building scenes (I have no idea what those pieces of metal are supposed to be when assembled together)

Last but not least... RUNWAY CATWALK STRUTS!

Does anyone else think that this song & MV are like a mix of 4minute's "Mirror Mirror" & "Crazy"?

My favorite B-side is "Flowers"! It has a very creepy/spooky feel (perfect for October/Halloween), similar to "Mine". I heard the word "dahlia" in the lyrics & immediately thought of (G)I-DLE's "DAHLIA". (If you understand Cantonese, then it might also sound like Candy Lo's "Flowers on the Ground" to you.)

My latest obsession hehe

Hey there! I don't know ATEEZ very well, so this commentary is the best I can do (it took me almost 2 hours to learn who's who):

I have no idea what "tennis" is referring to (other than the actual sport), but it definitely makes the chorus addictive. Also, "ice" seems to be a recurring word in other recent comebacks.

There's technically no 3rd chorus (got 0th, 1st, & 2nd), but there's a 3rd verse (Hongjoong & Mingi) before the 2nd pre-chorus. I guess that evens out?

In terms of the plot (not a very deep analysis), this MV looks like a prequel to MONSTA X's "GAMBLER" to me.

Apparently, Wooyoung's "bunny ears" (or air quotes) during his chorus are legitimately part of the choreography. I prefer this move with elbow-length sleeves (most live performances so far) instead of wrist-length sleeves (2024 KGMA).

I cannot explain why Yeosang looks like Leeteuk/Ryeowook to me OR resist the black umbrella scene. But why is he the only one hanging from the chandelier while the others are on ground level?

The only thing I didn't like was San's bathrobe outfit. (same reason why I didn't like Mingyu's hot tub scene from SVT's "LALALI")

In the end, the mansion was on fire (despite all the ice). I'm not sure if someone just lost their dentures or got burned to ashes in less than an hour, but Hongjoong retrieved (only) a single diamond from those teeth/gums.

Is this considered a "dark royalty" concept? The outro feels like (wrapping up) a funeral. I had to watch the live stages to see the outro dance break (it's smooth & classy).

This scene was so confusing yet hilarious that I decided to make a GIF:

Athena: oh, one last thing. I promised Ares that you will kill every visitor in your castle

Odysseus: oook? Why though?

Athena: they punched your son and called your wife a tramp while trying to marry her

“Big Boss Energy”: The Funk Hunters Team Up With LŪN for Fiery Collab, “La Puta Ama”
