For a second, I debated whether or not or to not go ahead with this specific countdown this 12 months. Sure, Ok-pop music movies are usually nice, however to be sincere I simply don’t watch them as intently as I used to. I’m far more aware of the music than the visuals, which threatens to show this record right into a countdown of my favourite artists whose movies I really watched intently relatively than a considerably goal take a look at visible achievements. What you find yourself with here’s a little bit of each, which suggests I’d be very curious to listen to your personal lists!
Honorable Mentions:
NTX – Over N Over
Shut Your Eyes – All My Poetry
ILLIT – Little Monster
&TEAM – Again To Life
ILLIT – Do The Dance
ARTMS – Icarus
Tempest – In The Darkish
BABYMONSTER – We Go Up
AHOF – Pinocchio
I really like sci-fi themed music movies and NouerA delivered with each of their title tracks. I give N (Quantity Of Circumstances) the slight edge as a result of its number of set items are very visually placing.
Blue Valentine makes use of surreal imagery to reinforce the tune’s emotional wallop, delivering memorable visuals that really feel ripped from a dream (or nightmare?).
ILLIT have been music video MVPs this 12 months and it was exhausting to decide on a favourite. When it comes right down to it, I discovered Jellyous‘s quirky cease/begin staging to be most visually compelling.
This has the sensation of “bringing the Avengers of Ok-pop collectively” and completely compliments the tune’s gradual construct. I really like the distinction between gentle and darkish.
My favourite TWS music video of the 12 months is the least TWS-coded. There are some visuals right here (the dancing within the elevators, the sluggish movement bullet) that immediately replay in my head at any time when I hear the tune. That’s the signal of a video that works.
The tune requires a loopy, campy, colourful video and LE SSERAFIM delivered. It is aware of its kitschy theme and performs it for all it’s price.
I really like the colours, tone and vogue on this video. It has a nostalgic, found-footage feeling that compliments the quirky twists of the tune.
I might not be completely satisfied by the tune, however the dirty, mud-soaked video is an actual spotlight. SM threw the price range at them and it exhibits.
2. RIIZE – ODYSSEY (Visible Album)
I’m unsure this fairly held collectively in the best way I’d hope from a visible album (and I’m nonetheless irked that Ember To Photo voltaic didn’t get a full mv), however I really feel like they must be excessive on the record for his or her ambition alone. Having visuals for thus most of the tracks on this unbelievable album is an actual deal with.
Shut Your Eyes’s music is kind of idiosyncratic and deserves visuals that echo that model. Snowy Summer season‘s foolish story of ghosts and pizza and snow in summer season affords a feast of enjoyable, world-building imagery that elevated the tune from a easy ditty to a cinematic spotlight.
