i LOVE the hootie frutti and the mv
It sucks to see all the yt comments being upset, surprised, and shocked fans and I can’t dismiss that, it is a HUGE difference from animal mv and then they threw in the new mv.
Before my opinion I get all the comments talking about the kids, the ads, the clothes, yoonchae being 18, but my opinion is coming from someone who grew up w Latin music, Britney Spears, dancehall, and all kinds of music but more note on those people. If you want to bring this up im not gonna hate this is for those who agree and come from this bg (but again I won’t go against opposing opinions)
Everyone looks so sexy and hot in a fun way. Whenever I listen to these type of songs I always imagined myself in these type of mv’s so it’s funny to see it come to life for these girls. I think the direction of the mv is so cool. It sucks to see people saying “why are they zooming in on those parts…” but tbf it really did just give a regular high beat mv that isn’t out of the norm for me I think everything was colorful, fierce, and stunning especially w the background actors.
Being a “global group” I’m so glad they are trying to implement that by giving this Brazil funk music. Luckily I’ve seen a mix of reviews by ppl from Brazil and it looks like it isn’t heavily hated so they did something right w hinting tiny bits of Brazil-relatability. They have too much of a kpop fandom which makes sense for being part of hybe, and im proud of them for taking this step so that the haters/kids can stop listening to them and actually have more of a global audience listen to them. I think it is a hard step and it’s gonna be hard for katseye.I hope the girls focus more on the positive feedback bc there is gonna be a lot of hate cause yeah a lot of kids are watching it! Even if i was a kid watching it I think I’d be in love cause again Latin music dancehall etc. and not every music is like kpop music, same goes for mv’s and personalities.
I get it it sucks to not be able to stan katseye since it’s not like the SIS era but I love this wild era and im hoping for more types of genres like Bollywood style songs, Afrobeats, we’re getting close to reggaeton bc of Gabriela (more like Spanish pop but it’s possible!), middle eastern music, etc. im excited to see more songs like this and WE STILL HAVE POP SONGS! Animal is super cool, I love that way, not a fan of bel-air but I bet it’s an awesome song for those who really like modern pop songs! And obviously the EDM. I loved celebration by le sserafim so PINKY UP was super cool and such a fun techno beat (grew up w techno too). I hope over time there’s more fans like me and that the old Katseye fans start to open up more to these types of songs bc these are what GLOBAL songs are like! Get outside of your norm and listen to other songs! It’ll be weird and different at first but I hope those who like soft songs start to like these songs too ! (Obviously talking about teens and up. for any children yeah that’s another take so I am not talking about them regarding these opinions for those under 13)
EDIT: said “did something right with Brazil’s culture” but generalized it too much meant like they did some research but again tiny bits not every Brazilian might relate to the tiny things shown in the mv
