Kpop Music Mondays

First off, let’s begin by asking a question: did any of you laugh like how we laughed when Mordney pops up at the beginning of the song? I don’t know what it is now, but after we reviewed U-Kiss’ “Shut Up” a while ago, and then used Mordney for our jokes for the next, like, 20 episodes, we just can’t take him seriously anymore. In fact, I think we would have liked this song more if we weren’t so biased against Mordney. Just, please Mordney, if you’re reading this, stop saying “Mordney Present” at the beginning of your songs. It’s a lot better than the “Hello, Hello, do you know me? This is Mordney Present” you did in Shut Up, but, still, it’s just…better if you stop saying it altogether.

Otherwise, this is a really sweet song, and the singing is really nice in it. Really nice. And the video’s really interesting as well. It took us a while to figure out what was happening, but it turned out to be quite sad when we realized he was imagining a girl that wasn’t there. We’re just upset a bit at how quickly the video wrapped up. Laughing doesn’t cure Schizophrenia, last time I checked. Dong-Ho needs professional help. That is his name, right? Dong-Ho? I don’t know. I just know that his fans call themselves Dongholics, and for some reason that sounds dirtier than any of the “that’s what she said” jokes we’ve done to date.

Another thing we didn’t mention in the video: we’re kinda weirded out by the idea of this being “Bran New Kiss,” for a couple of reasons. 1, because Bran makes me think of Fiber, and I don’t really think that Kpop bands should associate themselves with fiber. But that’s a minor quibble. We just find it weird that two members left U-Kiss and two new ones replaced them. Doesn’t that make them a different band? I didn’t think that groups are like basketball teams, where you can simply swap out some people. No?

–EDIT–
Turns out that Kevin from U-Kiss saw our video. And, surprisingly, he didn’t hate it!
