The beginning rap is so bad, but the rest of the song is pretty great.

The MV is literally a Rainbow Brite cartoon come to life!! This group have been delivering on all fronts. LEFT RIGHT is that BOP! I want moooarrr!!!

I was hoping for a second Mascara…

Speaking of SM, how long until they snatch a demo?

 

[leedlelee...]

Oh…

Oh…

Let the implosion begin!

The way I listened to PANDORA 36 times today... this wretched genre really has come down to stanning ChatGPT prompts with wigs.

I wonder who did the editing and directing for XG's new MV because it's genuinely, like, really good. It's the type of MV that would usually come off as extremely tacky and, honestly, a bit cheap-looking, for about everybody else in K-Pop, even the ones that actually have big budgets to spend. And yet, here, it really works.

Directed by Rigendfilm. Some of their work includes ITZY's Loco, TWICE's Scientist and CHUNG HA's Stay Tonight.

Are we ready for another mess………

OKay um.....this is GREAT. It reminds me a lot of the Shibuya-kei style J-pop I listened to as a teenager so that's ALWAYS a good thing.

 

[clowezra]

It’s what you’d expect but I could listen to Wendy sing the alphabet so…slay!

 

[Macsun]

The acting prowess!

 

[BEST FICTION]

Seeing how 1st and 2nd place ended up after last season I don't know if I wish this show upon any group.

 

[Slice of Life]

Wait…….

H1-KEY escaping nugudom soon???

Yeah it's a bit crazy. It's like the perfect alignment of budget, creative vision and technical skill to pull it off. Because conceptually its not exactly breaking new ground? But its just aggressively well executed lmao.

When I first got into XG with 'mascara' I was kinda worried they might fade into obscurity but their label seems very serious about making waves. Apparently Hikaru is meant to join this group after she's done with Kep1er which is... kind of hard to imagine, but I'm excited to see it happen.

Anyway, thank you Shooting Star for saving my life. I can't stop listening to it.
