Looking for MV/video references for a short film edit — fog, glitter, Y2K chaos, moody abstract, quirky BTS style

Hey all! A friend of mine is editing a short film and wants to pull in a bunch of different visual styles depending on the scene. I've been showing him music videos for reference (against his will, might I add😅) and now he thinks they're good material and wants to see more. Would love any and all suggestions, doesn't need to be a perfect match.

  1. Dreamy/magical — fog, bloom, glitter, lens flares, soft "magic" feel, dreamy

  2. Y2K flashy — quick cuts, high energy, old-school Britney Spears-era pop video chaos, maximalist effects

  3. Abstract & moody — no focus on faces, more about bodies/movement, sepia or negative color effects, long crossfades, reverse footage, melancholic tone

  4. BTS-style — fun, quirky behind-the-scenes edits

For calibration, videos I've already shown him: most ENHYPEN's MVs, BTS Spring day, Blood Sweat and Tears

and suggested: ILLIT (dreamcore vibe), NewJeans (Y2K), some ITZY's MVs like Loco, BTS "Idol," RAYE "Where Is My Husband," and some Sabrina Carpenter's MVs.

Drop anything that comes to mind, even one video helps! Doesn't necessarily have to be K-pop, anything would do!❤️

Edit: Thank you for all the recommendations! I'll be sure to share all these w him!!🥰

Bloody paradise choreo and Sunoo are a match made in heaven

Sunoo has always had a 'flair' to his dance. His dance is smoother. Or more...fluidy(?) somehow. Just see the Sacrifice choreo, esp the part "kkeutdo eomneun naui falling.. deeper.. take my haand" part, where Sunoo does this moving forward with his knees and it's soo different from Jake, who does the same move in his own style. Also in come 2 me cover dance that they did, there too! His own charm is added to those moves and I've always loved that about him.

And the bloody paradise choreo ohmygaahhddd the choreo went sooo hard and dayumn guyssss what performers these guys are!! I mean I absolutely loved the choreo and the dance and the song and every single thing. Body rolls on body rolls on...more body rolls. Not complaining at all. And that choreo suits Sunoo soooo well because of this fluidity, smoothness he has!!! Absolute beauty to watch and he makes it so damn fun!! And we can't forget those killer vocals of his! I'm already done and can't wait to see them perform it during promotions since I'm so sure we're gonna get even more energetic performance than this since it was their concert. Also, Kim Sunoo you absolute charmer. I see how much you've improved and I'm so proud of you!

Why am I banned?

So the image is pretty self explanatory, I'm for some reason banned from Enhypen_uncensored, so much for being uncensored lol. I see very sensitive posts about all sorts of negative things in that sub so why not this tho. This is the post I made. I'm not allowed to post there anyway but I just wanna know why😅

Edit: I just discovered that I can't comment either. Dayum

If you can't support Enhypen now, leave.

This is for every single person claiming to be Engene, but cannot stay in the fandom due to fandom. Firstly, RIP, Mina. Nobody deserves to be bullied. Online or offline. I wish you got help and a little bit of support. What those bullies have done is very awful and insensitive. To Engenes, you are not forced to stay here, or do anything, really. If you're an Engene with even a little bit of common sense, you'd know that Ni-ki, Sunoo had NOTHING to do with what happened to her. All they were doing is asking people to enjoy being there with them in the concert and all everyone's done is twist those words. People right now are jumping on the hate train like usual and calling Ni-ki a murderer and openly threatening him. And all of us need to get our shit together and support them. I do not mean defend them, make posts and stuff. The ways you could support them are so many more and you could just stay quiet if you don't want to take part in this too. I understand this is very sensitive and could be triggering so please, take a break when it's necessary. But if you cannot support the members in these tough times or even have a twinge of doubt that maybe the bullies calling Ni-ki out are right, please, leave. Enhypen members are famous people and yes, they need to know how their words can affect people. But it's totally I mean TOTALLY on the people listening to twist those words and turn against them. And also on the fans to believe what is true and what's not. To connect with the members' online personality so much that they cannot distinguish the difference between reality and a made up image. I don't know how much any of the idols mean what they say and do on stage. It's all for the fans, they need to be loved to be relevant. It's their job, guys. Maybe some really do mean when they say I love you to fans, maybe some don't. So please. Stay in reality. The companies are selling their groups they think in the best way possible for more money. That's feeding delusions. Know the difference between what needs to be taken seriously and what's just an image/story. IT'S ALL ON YOU. You decide what to take into your brain. It's like you have a plate of your favourite food which never really runs out, it just keeps refilling, so does that mean you can keep on eating without any break? Don't you decide when to stop, how much is too much? This is exactly that. You can stop deluding yourself into the image they're selling, or just keep enjoying the story by seeing it just as it is. A story.

At first(even before everything recent) I was worried about people seeing engenes as a bad fandom to be in, people leaving and Enhypen losing popularity and stuff. But now, I think I'm good. Even if only a few honestly normal people are left to support them, atleast it means they're here to STAY. I'm not sure the company would be happy with less money tho but that's a problem for another day.

And people making comments, posts about leaving, you also have the option to silently leave if you can't take it anymore or hate the members. I personally think it's not normal to leave a fandom because of other fans, for me atleast since I only get to live an online engene life. I don't know many engenes in real life. So my online and offline lives are completely separate. It's not like I need to see and talk and everything. We don't even get concerts so that's far away still. So I try not to interact with the negative side of the fandom online as a CHOICE and it works out. You get to stay in the fandom and support the members. If you're genuinely in it for the music and the members, you'll be here no matter what. Not saying there won't be any issues, because all you have to do is exist and open your mouth for someone to hate on you. Try to ignore allat, all those haters need is validation so I suggest you just don't respond to them. They hate not being acknowledged so it'll piss them off good lol. So please, take care of yourself and be here. With everyone hating on us, it's hard, but it'll work out since we love Enha and we'll be here still.

That's it. That's the post. I still love Enhypen and Ni-ki and Sunoo though I wish this unfortunate incident never happened in the first place. I cannot control what other people say to other people but just hope every people be sensible.

Need anime recs with reincarnation in real life aspect

Sooo I'm looking for anime with the premise 'the hero wakes up in real life with supernatural powers suddenly'. I know Isekai and it's the opposite of that. I watched a lot of Isekai. Not transporting into another realm. Just reality but powers from some supernatural entity. Kind of like Solo Leveling? Idk we'll see. Please drop any suggestions if you have!

Jungwon, Enhypen and Engene.

Jungwon was savage with his words and the way of speaking, damn! Like.... I am SO IMPRESSED. Was he a bit rude? Yes, and I think he was respectably rude and was on point. You wouldn't get upset unless you're looking for something to. It's what happened after that that I'm upset with. I thought things would kinda calm down after the whole fanchant 6, 7 thingy. But then I'm seeing "Been called a fake engene by my bias" (which he didn't, they're just twisting the words), "He was forced by the company"(which he addressed by saying he's not, guys come on, Jungwon of all people, is not that gullible. He can speak his own mind, and doesn't need company to force him to do anything.), "Better be called fake engene than an ot6" (This is just..idk what to say, they've accepted that they know but still not listen to him and just say the new chant), "How do you want us to just remove the existence of Heeseung after last 6 years" (He didn't ask you to remove at all, why would it be removing if the only existing 6 members are on stage singing that song? You don't want to remove him? You have older media to watch, please do. I admit even I do sometimes and it's painful but it is what it is. There. That's acceptance. I think enough time has passed and they have made their wishes very clear) and so on.... And I'm seeing lotsa comments that they're gonna leave the fandom and stop stanning Enhypen. They're angry on Jungwon, hating him, I'm seeing positive response too ofcourse.

I mean, nobody asked them to stop stanning anybody. All he said is to stop mentioning the person who left, Heeseung, so much. I understand you have the versions of people/ groups you love. If you love the version with Heeseung, please, just go watch the older concert videos with him and do the ot7 fanchant there. If you support the new Enhypen with 6, do this new fanchant because they particularly ASKED you to. Respect the wishes of the people you like, not just putting them on a pedestal and being angry with them when they mention something you don't like. I understand you have your own way of protests to do. Boycotting, not going to concerts, not streaming etc., but what's with your obsession of letting the members of Enhypen know that you're in support of the older version?? I mean, he asked you not to do that and you still do it? Do you do that with Heeseung too? Go and shout Enhypen's name in his concert or showcase or fan meeting, whatever it is. I don't think so, right? If you're supporting the ot7 thing, shouldn't you also let Heeseung know that you're waiting for him to be back through live yelling like you do with Enhypen? How is this saying ot7 fanchant in this one song a show of support to Heeseung?

I'm not saying they should do that with Evan too, but I'm just saying...make it make sense??? What happened to people being sensible? Infact I'm kinda glad he's not going through something this worse, maybe he is but it's not to this extent. Which is good enough for how shitty this situation is. Atleast you're being sensible to him.

It got long for no reason but I'm just really frustrated with the whole situation, cause it feels like some of the fandom has accepted and is fine, and some are angry and still unable to accept, some are just haters of the new Enhypen and they're letting everyone know, and some are hating after Jungwon said allat, like isn't this even more divided than before? I don't know what's the solution to this. Removing the song from the setlist? I'm pretty sure they'll do that as soon as they have their new album songs. So what will they do when this is removed? Find some other song to mention Heeseung?

And do you think if Heeseung himself speaks up, it'll be better than whatever this is? I don't think he will, but will these guys ever believe the members or just keep analyzing Jungwon's eyes, Jay's hands etc etc.? And should we be worried about people leaving the fandom and Enhypen having less fans and not being a popular group anymore? It's probably a stupid thing to be upset about but I'm thinking about it all the time, I always just wanted more people to know about them and listen to their songs and like them. But all the groups are doing so well now and only Enhypen is facing this kinda situation so I'm worried about people leaving the fandom now :/ I'm pretty sure we'll get new fans too, but I guess I'm in the survival show mindset when I'm not supposed to be, because I just need them to be doing well cuz I don't trust the company to not do bad things if they're not doing well enough.

Just Sunoo

Was watching weverse con Sunoo and I think I just fell in love with this guy's voice and eyes and expressions and beauty and just him again. What a beautiful man! LOST ISLAND is the song for him. Like literally.

Edit: I was SO overwhelmed with the feeling of love and wanted to show somebody so I HAD to post it and talk about it somewhere. Sunoo being the reason my first post as well is just natural I guess.
