Please vote for which song you think is better! If you haven't already, make sure to listen to both songs under the read more before voting. Propaganda is encouraged, but please do not be negative in doing so. This is meant to be a fun tournament!

Abracadabra is by far Brown Eyed Girls's most popular song, and the sexy and powerful vibe completely justifies it! And with the iconic hip choreo, who could ever forget this jam?

Noir is a haunting yet sophisticated song from queen Sunmi that, paired with a MV that's bright in color but dark in substance, delivers a message about social media and what people will do for fame.

[banghwa]

really curious which kpop mvs you'd say did horror well? I also came running to your blog once Stranger was released to see your take <3

most sunmi mvs but especially noir and stranger

txt can’t you see me

red velvet peekaboo OBVIOUSLY

shinee married to the music - SO SO SO 1960s-70s camp horror very clear inspiration from a specific genre and era of british horror (and imo a good comparison to make against block b jackpot in which yes the visuals are similar but the members’ positions are not subverted but are rather in power over the main girl. meanwhile in mttm the members are in a disempowered position thus subverting expectations)

nature girls

bts blood sweat and tears jpn version - very modern lynch !!! someone is murdered !!! trauma memory palace vibes !!!! (as opposed to black swan which yes has very obvious horror inspiration sources but works better as little more than a reference to the movie in order to make the point of the song rly obvious)

vixx voodo doll - tbh the only mv that rly commits to slasher visuals

most dreamcatcher mvs but my fave is chase me

narsha bi ri bba bba - sooooo lady gaga-type pop horror iygiygi i cant even explain it

kard you in me - VERY clear twin peaks references . VERY gothic themes also

There were so many November comebacks, I literally penciled them into my planner at the beginning of the month. Because this is my stress relief, and I like to know what I have available to me, thank you very much XD

But with a bunch of comebacks comes not being able to keep track and appreciate them all, so I'll be doing that here, in--

Highlights of November Comebacks~

feat. Soojin, Kiss of Life, Stray Kids, Aespa, Red Velvet, Kard, Collab (Soyeon x Winter x Liz), and The Boyz

Soojin

Gonna be honest, I'm just happy that she's alright. I'm glad she's back to music, I'm so happy to see the elgant dance style that's so Her, and the influences in the music that had highlighted her in GIdle that she gets to claim for her own now. It seems to be a really good time for soloists, especially soloists that have had their name dragged through media, and I'm so glad she's come with a full project and a full album. The mv itself is beautiful and artistic. I think on my twitter I said it was "artistic from sound to set," and the incorporation of the four elements cinematically made me want to break out my sketching pencils and watercolors, so beautiful!

The album as a whole has little beautiful moments, but next to all the drop-dead steal-your-breath stuff from the rest of the month, the mellow sounds don't really hold their own? My favorite is "bloodredroses", but maybe that's because of it how it calls back to Jo Yuri's "Bruise", and it sounds so quietly painful.

Kiss of Life

Was not expecting the drawling cowgirl music in the back, but their style has me hooked. Album wise I think they're in a niche of RnB-kpop melding? I love KoF's ability to not compromise on individual style in pulling together a cohesive and bold sound, it makes me think of Blackpink, but more mature, where each member has strong footing both visually in their scenes and characters, but also vocally and in the choreo. The vigilante of Gotham behavior in the plot of the mv made me love it all the more-- as a visual, this mv stands out from cookie cutter kpop formulas, and it serves the girls so so well. I was hoping for a harder hitting song as a whole, but just like Shhh grew on me, I expect this to as well, especially with how much individual power the lines have.

The album bursts in "different-ness" from one b-side to the next, and holds all their sassiness. I smile everytime "Gentleman" plays, it's so in-your-face. The touches of noir ambience is beautiful and unique, and they have my ear.

Stray Kids

Your girl was seated. I was anticipating. I was getting back into my Skz roots with God's Menu-Back Door and all my pride and hype for Thunderous, I was ready. Sononically, I think we're still in the same era as 5 star, where Skz have found the formula that works for their title tracks, subverting kpop into something unexpected. The four sets and the different emotions disappearing till only pleasure was left was terribly clever, and the choreo has Hyunjin written all over it. I think Jisung's rap part stood out the most to me, and they pushed a good amount of vocal power into the production. Although kpop wasn't ready for it, the rock version of the song sounds like the Correct version, but I can't complain-- they didn't wait till a year end show to remix it and never hand it to me this time XD

The album as a whole is a step better than 5 star, in it's diversity of tracks and album creation. There's enough spotlight for their vocalists that make me happy so :3 "Megaverse" was an instant repeat [and I'm coming back before I post this to say the mv is A+! Clever and proud in a way fitting to the music], and I listen to "Cover Me" literally for Seungmin's voice, hot damn, Hyunjin was selfish with that production into that final chorus and it shows~!

Aespa

Murder girls always grab my attention, I was just confused why Aespa was doing it tbh XD I think each comeback with them is getting better and better-- the mv itself seemed so pulled back and stripped visually, but then it had sharp clean moments that make you gasp. It feels very caution-to-the-wind with her vengeance sort of murderess? Like Batman throwing his insignia up on the sky, or painting a billboard red with the blood of the guilty. It absolutely lived up to it's teasers, and although I was confused why they were doing the almost-same thing as Red Velvet, and why SM was screwing both groups over by releasing them so close together, I think this aespa comeback might be my most favorite yet, and their bsides are *chef's kiss*~ "Trick or Treat" hits in all the right places.

Red Velvet

I had just come off of relistening to Seulgi for the season. I absolutely adore their melodic horror. Given the fact that Birthday was more on the cutes side, I was expecting something classical, something perhaps a little regal, but all the way with the horror. So the chorus was unexpected to say the least, with that touch of cute and carefree. The mv itself being dark (...literally XD had to turn up my brightness ALL THE WAY) and twisted into a plot of girls breaking free of their captivity only to be arrested for arson was an interesting juxtapositioning? It was the sort of short film that had me rooting for them, and the touch of slightly supernatural in the production was enough air of mystery to unsettle me. I had to listen without the video to truly love the title track.

As an album, Red Velvet presents the perfect November sound, of transitioning slightly horror-imbibed with a hint of festive-tinged. Nearly every b-side was a favorite for me, with a special glance at "Will I ever See you Again?" for grabbing me with two hands on my face. But everything, from "Knock Knock (Who's There?)" to "One Kiss" and "Bulldozer" spin a Corpse Bride/Nightmare Before Christmas delicacy and mastery, in every key change and harmony. ...I might do an album breakdown/essay, that is how much I love this album as a whole.

KARD

Kard's mellower, non-title track material is hit-or-miss for me, so I'm going to have to save this for a rainy day, because between all these top notch titles, it's hard to remember this. But the sound is still authentically Kard, and unlike "Without You" this doesn't feel like the girls featuring the boys like how some of their songs have been feeling.

Collab (Soyeon x Winter x Liz)

Was not expecting but all my girls!

The path to my heart is paved in gold and decadence, you could make the worst song ever, but you set your mv in this sort of glamour, you'll still have my attention. As a collab, it struck me that these are very unique, very talented voices coming together, and I wasn't convinced that their strengths were highlighted? But! As a song, it's a bop, and the three unique sounds, and maybe the fact that we get a collab at all is a win and I absolutely love. I want to put this next to Off The Record by Ive, but also, I was overlistening to Wow Thing Collab (Seulgi x SinB x Soyeon x Chungha) and this feels like something to step into those shoes, and that makes me happy XD

The Boyz

oOOOH when I saw a stealer-maverick-roar style concept! The anticipation I had! And there was no let down! The music production was A+ makes me want to listen to the whole album. The video also has it's absolutely stunning moments, my love for that last scene with half their faces cycling through, but also for all the individual scenes! Their child-like/boyish comebacks are hit or miss growers, but /these/ comebacks! Yess~!

[coupsnim]

Hi Izzie, it's me your secret carat again! sorry it took so long to send another ask Hope you've had a lovely week and will have a great weekend :)

I'm still a baby carat so it's always nice to meet more veteran fans! I personally knew about them since their debut because my friends really liked them and casually listened to them for years. Didn't properly get into them until pretty recently tho but I'm glad I'm finally here! Better late then never, right? 😂

I won't name any specific members cuz that will more than likely give away my identity lol But the member who originally caught my attention are now pretty low on my bias list and my biases were ones I never expected to bias one of them exactly my type tho i just like to be in denial sdklfjgdfsg

As for fave titles tracks, I think we have the exact same ones! For bsides I absolutely love Shadow, Anyone, Flower, ODIHTD, and I Don't Know. And so many more tbh, their discography is truly amazing <333

Some new questions: How did you get into making content? Do you prefer making gifs, grfx, or art more? What are some of your favourite Seventeen concepts and what's one you would love for them to try?

hiii 🧡

noo please don't be sorry! I appreciate you took the time to write to me 😊

my week was okay but I was out all weekend and didn't have time to reply, sorry about that! hope you had a great weekend as well

I love all the songs you mentioned as well! totally biased opinion, but I think seventeen has one of the best discographies in kpop. there are maybe one or two songs that I usually skip but other than that I love all of them ahah

I think I first started making gifs around 2011-2012? I joined tumblr because of doctor who and saw a tutorial on how to make gifs - I tried it out and it was quite fun, so when I rejoined tumblr around 2017 and created a kpop blog I started making gifs again first for groups like shinee and wonder girls and then for seventeen too. however, I only started creating gfxs after I made this blog, I saw so many great creations of other carats and was inspired to make my own 😊 my dad is a graphic designer and he taught me how to use photoshop a long time ago but I mostly used it for photo editing ahah

I love making gfx, way more than making gifs, but it's been a while since I posted something here because I feel that nothing looks good ahah I have lost my touch, I believe. I do have the urge to delete everything I made each time I go on my gfx tag ahah

I love drawing too, but it's also quite dangerous for me because once I start a new project I can't stop until I'm done ahah and since I I can't take time off of work to draw, I usually only do it when I'm on holiday

my favourite seventeen concept? fallin' flower and home;run, probably. everything about fallin' flower is perfect, the song, the choreo and the whole vibe of the mv, but I also liked the theme for the home;run mv, it was fun and so seventeen (if that makes sense?). I'm just sad that they didn't reflect it in the album design too 😔

honestly they already fulfilled my every wish with fallin' flower when it comes to concepts, so it's hard for me to answer this question. however, I really liked the concept for their photobook 'social club' so maybe something similar would be cool? or maybe something inspired by a noir movie?

what about you? 😊

this reply turned out so long, I'm so sorry ahah hope you have a great day!

Noir Reaction: Teasing Them in French

A/n: I apologize if the french phrases are incorrect, I do not speak french. Also coming up with teasing things to say is hard. But I hope this is good and you enjoy!!

Requested by: my fellow Lumi, the lovely and sweet @daewonbiased​

Seunghoon:

You had come to drop off Seunghoon’s dinner. Then you spent twenty minutes after convincing him to take a break from work. Somehow an hour later your boyfriend had dragged you to the practice room to watch him goof off and dance to random songs. Somehow he had found some mats in a closet. Somehow he had now gone off on a tangent trying to prove to you taekwondo was sexy. 

“No.” You laughed as you sat against the mirror. “You scared?” He asked with a smirk. His blonde hair fell over his eyes. “Of you, mon ours?” He laughed at your nickname for him. While he loved the adorable pet name he really loved showing off. He motioned for you to join him on the mats and he took a ready position. 

“I couldn’t possibly risk hurting such a pretty face.” You said standing in front of your boyfriend, a coy smile playing on your lips. “I’m not just a pretty face, you know.” He said grabbing ahold of your waist. Draping your arms around his neck you played with the ends of his hair. You hummed before replying, “Je parlais de moi - mon visage.” (I was talking about me- my face.)

His eyebrow quirked up. Clearly, he picked up on the connotation of your words. He took a breath, blowing some of his hair out of his face. “I put up with the boys all day and then you have to do this to me?” He scoffed and looked to the side. “Oh, I’m sorry, mon ours. Here. I’ll make it up to you.” Seunghoon couldn't help but smile when you reached up kissed him, letting your hands tangle in his hair.

Yeonkuk:

Yeonkuk sat lazily on a couch in the dressing room. Your legs were draped over his lap as you messed with his phone. The both of you were waiting for your slots on stage. Noir was performing and so was your group. Thankfully the public was very supportive of your relationship. You had even MCed together once.

“Are we eating after?” Daewon asked Yeonkuk who sat beside him. The boys were used to having you around. Yeonkuk nodded. “The girls are going to join us too. Our manager thinks it would be good press. Also, I miss seeing my baby.” Yeonkuk said bring your hand up to his lips. You smiled at him over the phone. 

“I miss you too, Minou,” He smiled at your pet name for him and continued his conversation with his dongsaeng. Time passed and both of you were growing bored exponentially. “Minou, look over here!” Yeonkuk was playing with the laces of your chunky boots and he looked over pulling a funky face. Laughing you took picture after picture of him. He let you mess around more on his phone and traced random patterns on the skin of your bare legs. 

A ding sounded on Daewon’s phone and he pulled it out and laughed. It was a picture of Yeonkuk pulling an absurd face with the caption ‘petit minou’ on Noir’s official account. “Why would you post that?” He asked with a laugh, pulling you fully into his lap. “Je ne peux pas m'en empêcher si tu as une drôle de tête.” (I can’t help it if you have a funny face.)

“Yah! I’m going to kill you!” He said playfully shaking you before kissing your cheek.

Junyong:

Lying lazily in bed with a good book was the highlight of your Saturday. Junyong was sitting against the headboard with his laptop and you lay near his feet stretched out and holding a book over your face. The soft clicking of keys and rain outside the window relaxed your mind and body. Every once in awhile Jun would absentmindedly start to rub your ankle. The loving gesture further compelled sleep to fight your consciousness. 

Every so often Junyong would ask you a question and sleepily you would respond. Eventually, you put your book aside and turned on your side giving in to the temptation of an afternoon nap. Thunder rolled and rain tapped against the window. At some point, you thought you heard Junyong pick up the phone.

Ignoring it you slipped in and out of sleep for the next ten minutes. “Y/n,” You rolled over to avoid the voice. Nothing would ruin your perfect nap. “Y/n.” Lifting a hand you waved off your boyfriend. He chuckled and continued his call. It seemed he could find the answer to his question on a place called Google. 

Close to twenty minutes after Jun called your name again. “Y/n,” Again you ignored him. “Baby?” Groaning you opened your eyes and sat up. Junyong held his phone to his ear and the other still rested on your ankle. He looked at you with a soft smile that reached his eyes. Sighing you switched positions and laid back down next to him this time nuzzling your face into his side. “Babe, do you know today’s date?”

“Oui.” (Yes.)

“Do you wanna tell me?”

“Non, ça va.” (No, I’m good.)

“Why?” “You keep interrupting my nap, dingus.”

Yunsung:

Yunsung called ahead to tell you he was leaving the shooting space. You ordered the food and set up a french tv show the two of you had been watching recently. The door opened and your boyfriend dropped his keys and bag on the table. He greeted you with a kiss. “You smell. Go shower. The food will be here soon.” He nodded and rubbed his eyes before heading to the bathroom.

Humming a random song you grabbed napkins and utensils to eat with while waiting for the delivery man. The door rang ten minutes later and you opened to see a smiling young man. “Hello, are you Y/n L/n?” He asked sweetly. Nodding you grabbed the food and set it on the table near the door and returned to sign. While writing the tip you felt two arms wrap around your stomach and you smiled. “

Thanks! Have a goodnight.” You said before closing the door. Yunsung grabbed the food and flopped on the couch waiting for you to sit beside him before playing the show. “How was your day, love?” He asked stuffing food in his hungry mouth. “Good. You?” He sighed and finished chewing. “Exhausting. We were shooting all day. I’m so ready to be done with this music video.”

“Quoi? Avez-vous dû regarder une caméra sexuellement pendant dix minutes?” (What? Did you have to stare at a camera sexily for ten minutes?) His eyebrow rose at your words and he set down his food. “Yes. I did. I was sexy all day. It was very hard.”

Siheon:

Siheon drove the two of you to the gym late at night. The security team had rented out the court for you to meet some of the boys for a late-night game. Siheon smiled as he listened to you talk on the phone with your mother. You were teaching him a little bit of french so he picked up a sentence or two. Something about him and recording. You were probably talking about their new music video that was about to come out. He was grateful your family supported him even from overseas.

Security took Siheon’s keys and drove the car around back. He slung an arm over your shoulder as the two of you walked in the building to meet the boys. You waved as you saw Junyong, Hoyeon, Seunghoon, and Minhyuk. Minhyuk had called you a couple of hours ago and asked if you wanted to play a few games of basketball.

Music blared from a speaker Hoyeon brought as you and the boys played your second game of three on three. Siheon was on a team with Junyong and Seunghoon and you were on a team with Hoyeon and Minhyuk. The six of you laughed and played late into the night. It was no surprise to the boys how intense you were. You shoulder checked your boyfriend as you raced across the court and made a layup into the hoop. 

Looking back you saw Siheon getting up from the floor. “That was a foul!” He said pointing at you with a laugh bubbling up in his throat. “Oh please. Votre vie sociale est une faute.” (Your social life is a foul.) Siheon’s face dropped and then he looked around at the other boys before laughing. “Yah! You can’t tease me like that Y/n!”

Hoyeon:

Glancing at your phone you saw a text from your boyfriend. Your boss had just let everyone go for a half-day. Something about a shipment problem? It didn’t matter because now you had the rest of the day completely free! Hoyeon messaged you that he and the boys were just arriving at their photoshoot location. Jumping in your car you drove over to the set and texted the manager to let you in as a surprise. Before you got to the shooting space you ran into Seunghoon in the hall who gave you a big hug and told you Hoyeon was just about to leave the dressing room. 

The dressing room was filled to the brim with makeup artists and stylists who rushed around trying to get ready, but only four boys were in there. Siha waved at you and beckoned you over. “Hoyeon just left for the stage. Want to walk together?” Nodding the both of you headed towards the shooting space.

The temperature immediately dropped as you walked through the doors into the big room. Huge lighting pieces lit up a backdrop that Hoyeon stood against. Siha elbowed you as the two of you came closer. The two of you giggled as you watched Hoyeon’s modeling from off to the side. 

While they were adjusting lighting he finally saw and waved at you, a big smile growing on his face. When it was over your boyfriend jogged over a planted a big kiss on your lips, completely ignoring his friend. “Good job,” Siha said patting Hoyeon on the back and congratulating him on a good shoot. “That dark disapproving, smoldering thing?” You said imitating his poses. “That’s illegal in Europe you know.” 

“Oh yeah?” He said quirking up his eyebrow and letting a smirk fall on his lips. “Heureusement, vous ne violeriez pas la loi.” (Good thing you wouldn’t be breaking the law.) His smirk grew wider before Siha tapped him on the shoulder and whispered in his ear. “Bro, I think she was messing with you. I don’t think it means what you think it means.” Siha laughed as Hoyeon’s grin fell and he turned to shoot you a playful glare.

Siha:

Today was spring cleaning. You were determined to make it so. Siha was often busy and things had picked up for you at work so both of you had gotten a little lax when it came to cleaning the apartment. Opening the windows, you started playing soft french tunes from a CD your mother sent you to listen to while cleaning.

Siha seemed to be extra affectionate today. He would come up behind you and randomly start dancing with you, before being forced back on track. He would compliment you and kiss you obviously trying to distract you. Siha was quite annoyed you chose one of his rare days off to clean and not lounge on the couch with him.

"Y/n!" Ignoring your boyfriend you continued pulling clothes from the dryer. "What, mon coeur?" You called finally giving in to his calls. He shuffled into the laundry room and wrapped his arms around your waist. "Have I told you I love you?" He said kissing your cheek. Laughing, you slapped his shoulder. "Many many times in the past hour." He sighed as you turned back around out of his embrace.

"But, Y/n, I just love you so much!"

"Arrête de dire 'je t'aime' pour sortir des corvées." (Stop saying 'I love you' to get out of chores.)

You said shoving a basket of clean laundry in his hands. Siha glared daggers at you before turning away to go put away laundry. He had no idea what you said but he was just barely smart enough to figure out that you had caught onto his scheme.

Minhyuk:

Minhyuk finally had a couple of days off from work. The two of you decided to visit your family back in Lille, France. On your second day, the two of you wandered throughout the beautiful city. Hand in hand you walked down the people-filled streets. It made you so happy to see him loving where you grew up. 

At the golden hour, the two of you ventured to the massive market near the center of the city. Minhyuk happily took pictures with the camera he had brought and excitedly ate samples with you from stalls. “Y/n! Look over here!” “Min, they are just vegetables. We have those at home!” You said with a laugh, letting your cute boyfriend drag you from stall to stall. 

You spent the day haggling with french vendors for cute little trinkets and souvenirs Min had picked up along the way. With your bags filled to the brim, you strolled down to the metro to catch the train back to your hotel. The train was quickly filled so you and Minhyuk had to sit across from each other. As the stops passed by more and more people got off at the stations.

Looking over you found Minhyuk staring at you, leaning on one of the rails and his head on resting on his hand. Laughing to cover the blush you looked away and out the window at the setting sun. Turning once again you saw him staring. “Stop staring!” He giggled and adjusted the camera in his lap before his eyes turned back to you. “I can’t help it,” He went back to contently watching you with a smile. If anyone else was in the car they might think he was crazy. 

"Pourquoi ne prenez-vous pas une photo? Cela durera plus longtemps." (Why don’t you take a picture then. It will last longer.) 

He chuckled, probably picking up a few words. Without hesitation, he aimed the camera at you and adjusted the lens before snapping the picture.

Daewon:

"Oh my god, Cheetos are not chips!" You yelled into the living room at your boyfriend. The two of you had gotten into a random debate and it had now turned into a somewhat heated argument. "Where do you find Cheetos though? In the snack aisle."

Daewon said getting up from the couch. The argument continued for at least another thirty minutes. The both of you chased each other around the living room trying to each prove their own point. "Cheetos leave the same residue that other chips do on your fingers." "They aren't chip shaped!" You said raising your hands in the air.

"Oh yeah? You really want to fight? Let's go!" He said opening his arms and challenging you. You rolled your eyes and turned your back to him muttering, "Malheureusement, j'ai une règle contre les combats contre les enfants." (Unfortunately, I have a rule against fighting children.) Turning you saw Daewon standing there with a blank look on his face.

"Y/n that's cheating. You can't just switch and tease me in french that's like so unfair." You couldn't help but laugh at your whining boyfriend. Kissing him on the cheek you walked out of the room soon after being followed by Daewon still trying to win the pointless debate. 

“Y/n! Come back here! This doesn’t mean you won!”

Requests are open! Just send an ask; don’t be shy!

[kaptain-k-pop]

On the one hand I am somewhat surprised that none of Sunmi's music videos have ever included her with a sword

But on the other hand maybe it's for the best... I don't know if anyone watching would be able to survive that kind of power.....

[virgolarity]

TxT: embrace your difference you’re beautiful.

Sunmi: y’all too busy seeking artificial validation in social media that y’all forgot about your crippling emptiness.
