Usagi's Playlist Feature: Nine Muses - Gun

Before the main feature...

The Best Music Video of the Year??


Norazo - Wild Horse

There's really nothing I can say about this...


Now on to the real feature, Nine Muses' 건(GUN)".


    This week I was listening to a kpop playlist online and this song came up. I hadn't given this song much thought after I watched the music video (more on that below).  The song got stuck in my head - and I actually like it a lot! I really like the trumpet part.
 
    The first time I saw the music video (a while ago) I was not impressed. The video was really boring, 90% of it is just shots of them looking pretty and doing nothing else. The rest was them looking pretty while dancing. That's nice and all, but not quite my cup of tea. I don't mind a bit of camera-whoring, as long as it's accompanied by awesome dance moves or cuts to story-like scenes. By the 1:20 mark I was bored, I wish they would've switched it up a bit after that.
    I didn't give this song a chance after watching the video; just goes to show how much a music video can affect my opinion of a song. Usually it's the other way around, where I like a song I might not have liked otherwise because the music video was awesome *cough*wild horse*cough*.

(I suggest just opening a new tab and listening to this in the background.)
Nine Muses - 건(Gun)

I think Nine Muses has pretty catchy songs. The other one I'm familiar with is "Ticket". I think the music video for that left something to be desired also. Either way, I still love the music!

TLDR: 건(GUN) - good song, boring video

Comment Question: What song do you think deserved a better music video?
