POWER

The past couple of days have been good for kpop.

Yesterday, SHINee and Super Junior released their songs Sherlock and Opera in Japanese, and today, the MV's for U-Kiss's DoraDora and BAP's Power were finally released.

I think people were expecting some form of popularity battle between U-Kiss and BAP, but for me, even though I love them both, there is no competition. U-Kiss may be more established, but BAP just blow you away.

From TS Entertainment's Youtube

So they ditched their platinum blond hair of Warrior, which I'll admit to being somewhat disappointed by*, but the attitude is still as strong as ever for each and every member. It's hard to believe they are still such a rookie band, having only debuted a few months ago, but even though they are still young, in both age and experience, they give such a strong performance. They broke a stage once, and I wouldn't be surprised if they did it again.

As for the MV, the plot is a little unorthodox, to say the least. As I understand it, its about being boys being smelly.

 One day, our BAP boys are happily murdering gagged people and having a dance party after crashing their spaceship in the desert.

 

Not so Blond Asian Person notices that there's an unpleasant smell in the air.

 It spreads across the group, unavoidable and disgusting.

 Pretty soon, it is so strong it brings our boys to their knees.

 This guy knows where the smell is coming from. It's not surprising, though, they have been dancing a lot, and it looks hot and dusty out there.

 Forever a team, the other members gang up on the guy with severe BO ...

 

... and have a deodorant party.

THE END.

I really hope this makes it on to eatyourkimchi's Kpop Music Mondays. Doradora is a good enough song with an interesting enough MV, but Simon and Martina would have a ball reviewing this video.

* Even though BAP is supposed to stand for Best Absolute Perfect, I was much more a fan of Blond Asian People. Kinda rendered irrelevant now, though.
