They are back! I haven't posted any of their teaser MV or photos but here's their full video for This Love. I prefer just listening to the song than watching their video. I have a few complaints about the video.
First, I just don't like the whole jacket matching slacks when the jacket is patterned. Patterned pants is just not good, solid colors are better.
Next, I wish the stylist would stop slicking back Eric's hair. Even in the Venus comeback they slicked his hair in a weird style. Either just mousse it or slightly spike it, he actually looks good in his more natural hairstyle. He looks like a pimp with slick hair and some of the dance movements isn't helping either.
I kinda like that they toned down Junjin's platinum blonde hair to a darker shade. I personally do not like Asian with platinum blonde hair. Blonde Asian are weird looking, platinum blond is just bizarre. I haven't seen a platinum blonde Asian Idol that ever looked good. It has to be a darker shade. Hyesung's hair looks good on him, it's closer to a brown shade. Junjin looks cuter with black hair.
Then there's the choreography. I'm no professional dancer but I know what I like. Now, in the video when I was watching it several times, some of the movements seemed kind of feminine. Minwoo seems a bit feminine at the beginning. What's strange is I watched their live performance on Mcountdown and it looked alright. Minwoo's body wave seems a bit feminine in the video but sexier in the live performance. Odd.
Then there's Andy and Dongwan. I have no complaints about them. Andy still looks like Zombie. I think they have tone down his burgundy highlights, it's nicer. Dongwan, he never seem to not look good, well, except for the Yo! song. I think they had to go really extreme to make him look weird because he always looks wonderful. I know people say Eric is the best looking one in the group but I think it's Dongwan. Hmmm...a little bias.
One more thing. They don't really say This Love. It sounds more like Dis Love. At least they don't sing Dis Lob. Other groups, I've heard them singing lob instead of love. Oh well, no one is perfect.
The most important thing is that I love the song. I need to get it. I lost track of how many times I pressed replay on YouTube while typing this. I think I'm getting obsessed again.
Here's the video.
