alright let's do it
[Music]
Oh Oh that transition was beautiful
[Music]
like a fire stop mr.liang be here
john-boy oh oh my god hundin's hair
oh my god his hair
[Music]
I love this building synth in the
background for the pre-chorus oh my god
[Music]
you know we're watching that again
immediately meet hilly
I love that whoever directed this that's
such a bang-up job I love this has a
very huge Western influence to it I
think the director whether they are a
Western director or not this definitely
takes huge influence from I feel like
more from Western hip-hop directing even
just the freeze-frame right here even
just the title sequence of their name
just King them out like this the way
that's done I've never seen that in kpop
before I feel like I've seen that level
of that kind of style and creativity a
little bit more in Western hip-hop music
videos but never in kpop for sure
[Music]
and even this whole sequence right here
the direction of this sequence feels a
lot more Western inspired to just like a
whole ruckus going on chaos going on
while the artists themselves are rapping
and behind them beyond them everything
is in chaos also or his eyes [ __ ] red
oh my god oh it's red and blue
[Music]
transition of like literally I mean the
song is called God menu it's like he's
pulling up a menu oh my god okay so I
saw this earlier with Felix's part but
I'm just noting this noticing this now
so I see so okay so you have chunzhen
and felix in the background here and
then they're down here now oh my god oh
my god
[Music]
all right so most likely engine and
engine and Felix aren't there they
pasted them in in post-production that
transition okay so the transitions in
this music video especially on beat goes
so argos or the probably my favorite
thing about
[Music]
oh oh the moves on
[Music]
I love the outfits here I think these
are my favorite like kind of like giving
them like a little bit of like the skirt
dress look especially from like it looks
like it's a mix of like lab coats
because you have this lab in the
background but also like the chef's the
the chef's garb oh my god oh I can't get
over I can't get over how take you like
literally slap them in
[Music]
well I think what I really really love
is that they actually made Felix they
change the lighting on him too so the
first shot
oh so the first shot turns in red brings
in brings in one section next section
the center and the Kimo
[Music]
my five-star Michelin job I'm very
curious as to what the purpose for this
section was is the spotlight section I
like it it's a very different vibe and
again this also feels like a very
Western choice I'm just quite not sure
what the motivation behind it is but man
just reveal
yes reveal
when
oh my god
[Music]
we go
I find I find the motivation of this
dance set really interesting so if
anybody has been long following my
videos one of the things that I always
say is like I don't like when they shoot
in confined spaces because the sets look
cheaper because it looks too small it
confines them in that space what I find
really interesting here though is
they're shooting in a confined space but
then beyond them is supposed to be much
bigger like much more expansive like the
racetrack that's interesting so it still
has this there is a feeling of depth
although I feel like that is a
blue-screen or green-screen in the
background I don't think that's the
actual racetrack even though they filmed
at the racetrack I don't think dad is
seen it's a racetrack maybe it is hold
on maybe it was just that Charlie
okay nevermind yeah okay yeah they
definitely filmed there because the
depth looked
[Music]
oh my gosh
[Music]
the Beagle Center first this time it
looks like a ton Jin Center I love this
part oh my god
[Music]
backdoor that's supposed to be signaling
their next comeback or I don't know or
if that has to do more so with the
current album but that was incredible
that was incredible that was one of the
best things I have I have ever seen my
god
there's no credits listed on who
produced and shot the music video but
that was incredible I love the way this
song used such simple I guess
sound of it Layla it's called like like
onomatopoeias like that dudu incredible
they used it as like a key point in the
song it stands out so well
I feel like this song is perhaps the
biggest change we've heard in straight
kidses music because ever since the clay
series began its the clay series I feel
like had a very distinct direction to it
I think there was a cohesiveness to that
series and now that that series is over
this feels way different if it feels
like stray kids refreshed I'm not saying
I was getting tired of stray kids but
it's like whoa this is fresh and new and
very breathtaking in fact the energy for
this I would put this somewhere near my
pace I think my pace is perhaps has more
energy but this one it has more impact
if that makes more sense
especially that especially the hook they
use for the drop and in the chorus of
just like that booming sound the booming
brass the music video I think is perhaps
their best music video to date I think
comparing this to levantar which I
really like levantar that was also a
very beautiful music video but I think
this one is just like I think it comes
down to
stylistic choice and I think
stylistically I like this one a lot more
I think this one just has a way
different vibe like the vibe is just
different like I feel like whoever the
director was he brought something
different to the table I feel like but
Lavater as much as I liked it because it
was also reminiscent of all their
previous music videos like it also felt
very thematic and a continuation of all
their previous music videos this feels
like a shot of fresh air so I really
really really really like God menu I
would say song is like a solid 9 out of
10 it's incredible I would say the music
video it's a solid 10 out of 10 this is
incredible the music video is just so
gorgeous it's so well filmed I think I
really liked pung-chun's portions I
liked his vocals glad to [ __ ] see
Yujin doing some more aggressive like
speedy rapping again eunjin what the
hell who let that boy grow his hair out
to that length like he looks gorgeous
she looks amazing
I love the long-haired look especially
in that outfit like I'm ready to watch
like a cooking drama starring I got like
a chef cooking drama starring stray kids
they look so good in those outfits the
outfits look incredible especially in
that setting with that scimitar it looks
perfect
