Kpop Music Mondays: 2PM “I’ll Be Back”

Filed as: Kpop // Responses: 52

This week we review 2PM’s new music video “I’ll Be Back.” You know, the first thing we thought about when we saw this video was the Terminator saying “I’ll Be Back.” Then we saw that one of the members of 2PM is wearing a metal hand. Then the final dance sequence of the video starts off with the Terminator music. Are these just crazy coincidences? Well, turns out that it isn’t, as 2PM just said in a video that they meant to be influenced by it. It’s still kinda odd, though, how 2PM’s song is about love, while the Terminator is about ass-kicking robots. I guess they’re similar, kinda?

Anyhow, this video was a lot more difficult to make than the other Kpop videos, because of the — err — preparations that Simon had to go through for it. Last week’s U-Kiss in Man Bras, this week’s 2PM in Guyliner. Who knows what’s going to happen next week? It’s also a fluke that we’ve been doing so many 2PM videos, what with them being in the showdown last week and in our 2PM interview a little while back. Ah well. Big thanks also to our friend Jessica who did the make up for this video. Seriously, Simon sat for like 30 minutes gettign the makeup done. Hell! And he’s got a new found sympathy for girls who wear makeup: that stuff is not easy to wash off!

For this week’s showdown we pit 2PM vs Ga In to see who wears eyeliner better. By the way, Ga In’s video is completely, totally awesome, and if you haven’t seen it yet be sure to check it out. It’s one of our favorite songs of the year. Great song, great acting, great story, great eyeliner, great everything. Check it out!

One last thing: Spudgy cant’ do the dance for this week, because – even though the running man is easy to do – Spudgy’s bad hips and knees aren’t built for it, and we didn’t want to hurt him. So hopefully next week there’ll be an easier dance for Spudgy. Poor guy!

    sitting in the college counseling center of my school and trying so hard not to crack up out loud. I love these music mondays…. they really do brighten my day (I mean, where else can I see a competition between a boy band and a girl group regarding who wears better Makeup!)

  • JiniYun

    I will vote for Gain too :D
    I just don't think 2pm looks nice with the eyeliners :P

    Your videos are hilarious!

    Ga In hands down!

  • William

    Ga-in, cuz that was an amazing music video, and she diffinitely looks better because… SHES A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!

      That seems like the obvious reason, though, doesn't it?

  • http://nixmin82.tistory.com JB & Annie

    We definitely vote for Gain! Eyeliner for Men??? we dunno…. :p

    Hahahah, Terminator was the first thing that popped into my head, though ;D Don't worry, Terminator is ageless.

    I'm voting for Ga In this time, not only because I loved the MV – yaaaay, tango!! and great story!! – but because she's always been the Queen of Eyeliner in my book, anyways.

    (Btw, have you heard Ga In's "Esperando"? It's totally dorky of me, but hearing her say a couple of words in Spanish made me giggle like a little girl)

    Hahahaha, Terminator was the first thing that popped into my head too. Terminator is a classic, yo~ *half-assed rapper imitation*

    My vote goes for Ga In’s Irreversible. I’ve always loved BEG, and Ga In’s songs are beautiful~ besides, the whole CD is inspired in Argentina! <3 Tango, Español…so, yes, call me biased, but Ga In is the Queen of Eyeliner anyways.

    2pm rocks the guyliner like it's 1999. Or better than Prince did in that song, anyway. But seriously. Somehow, they manage to look better in makeup than most women. And that's just not ok.

  • Xemi

    Definitely Gain! :D Guys+eyeshadow+eyeliner overdose is just… wrong. >< and the dance kinda looks like an aerobics workout! i won't mind trying it! o.o

  • Mirna

    I’m totally huge fans of 2PM but the song “I’ll be back” not really good for the choreography and for the Make-Up and I think I prefer Ga-In for the Eye Liner.

    Still your huge Fans 2PM!!! Love You Nickhun!!!!! *sorry I can’t control my emotion hehehe……(^_^)v

  • Catherine

    ga in!!!!!!!!!!! She is the queen of eyeliner =D Daebak!

  • joyce

    omg. I just found about your website and have seen this vid and previous weeks. You 2 are hilarious. Thanks for the laugh : P

  • Linda

    Isn't there a difference between eyeliner and guyliner? 2pm doesn't need eyeliner…or guyliner….they are cute without it.

  • nana

    LMAO you guys are so funny xD

  • Nikki

    Actually, 2PM's running man dance is also called the rabbit dance (Idk about that). Also, 2PM make it look easy, when it isn't at least for me. I really love this song but, not as much as heartbeat. I'm so excited for tomorow's video! :)

  • brighteerrq

  • Kim Pam

    this was really funny, lol, but I love the dance on that video, and it is a lot more difficult than how it looks ( I am a dancer, and it was difficult to me) but got to admit that martina’s version was betterm lol
