As it reads on the tin.

Im skipping over super and fml cuz i dont rlly care abt them rn…yea..moving right along to fighting (the only legit svt comeback this year)

Fighting

  • u can tell how lax they were filming this lol they keep mouthing each others parts.
  • dk sticking his tongue out again..u kno im not so sure about all that…
  • at the part where they do tht bike handle move dk does another one of his habits tht expression where its like hes sort of smiling but its in between a smile and like a neutral face and his eyes r just like…kind of thousand yard stare…now that expression i can get behind. He kinda looks like he’s wearing a mask somehow
  • sorry these r all abt dk but in another lifetime he could play lestat de lioncourt maybe
  • i fcking love when seungkwan does tht dance he does in the grass roundabout 😭😭🫰🏾
  • hoshi looking hella like his sister in the airplane scene. And he’s right they’re both an even mix of their mom and dad. To be fair their mom and dad look alike tho 😭
  • who’s tht saying “aw yea” …
  • seungkwan i hug and swaddle u precious. Sorry
  • dk so jerma coded if jerma had more energy
  • i hate all their outfits in this btw but it kinda works like them looking bad is fitting

Its over.

Black eye

Ok i actually never watched black eye cuz i hated the pop punk revival i still think it shouldve been ska instead. But anyway im gna pay attention here …

  • his acting aw get his ass in a low budget horror movie now
  • this song is so bad im gna kill myself. Nice night vision tho
  • its so bad i cant im turning the volume down. Actually ok the bad song turnaround just hit for me im embracing it 💗 i love it 💗
  • not much to say. Oh except forvthis i do like the surrealist confessional booth, they should employ tht approach in reality shows. Just make the confessional booths weird and alienating as hell maybe youd get more truth outta ppl tht way idk
  • “woke up on the highway” reminds me the other day i saw this dude just walking down the highway like in the shoulder he didnt appear to b distressed or anything he had his airpods in takin his sweet time just mad chillin bruh shit was cool
  • why isn't there a cat in this mv
  • he looks like his teenage self in this mv to me lol
  • the director has watched gregg araki films maybe
  • those “oh’s” in the background toward the end r so dispassioned 😭😭
  • vernon is just one of those dudes where its like i know so many clones of you

Its over.

Dream

I havent seen this either nor have i heard the song okayyyyyy

  • i dont rlly have the words to describe the types of things tht the graphics at the beginning remind me of, maybe just video games, but the rendering or the quality or something of the computer generated house in particular i like a lot…reminds me of some video game…
  • oh theyre doing grand budapest hotel 🙄
  • for some reason irlly love hoshi and vernon sitting on a big ass chair its like the start of a nursery rhyme or smthn. Also this reminds me tht interview vn and hs did with woozi for fml promos…theyre actually a kind of good trio like they have rlly good chemistry and thts coming from someone who doesnt like soonhoons dynamic as a duo …will expand more another time
  • this song is kind of nothing but i also like it i think. Do u think they remember the choreo for it
  • ahhhh minghaos rainbow hair 😩😩 i miss…
  • why am i finding myself engulfed in this lush video-audio experience…wait im so confused..
  • mingyu in space
  • two million wonwoos
  • minghao has been sitting w tht drink for 2 damn hours the bar is closed like
  • scoups’ LITTLE KID DRAWING AWWWW…wheres the behind the scenes for this mv who drew tht 😭😭AND HE’S ON THE BIG CHAIR NOW TOO big chair is stealing the show for me
  • ok dino killed minghao to steal his drink and now he’s done wat minghao could never find it in himself to do…he has finished about a third of it…work…
  • idk why but i feel like im bein psyop’d by this mv its chill tho
  • the expression on hoshis face when he looks at jeonghan HEBSBAHAHAB ijbol
  • I GOT CHARMED…why did i like tht song and mv so fucking much omfg …

Its over.

Limbo

EHEHEHEHE i dont remember this mv tht well..the song is underwhelming ik but im ready to watch jun dance 🫰🏾

  • i love u.
  • this song is mixed kinda weird, no? I like the lguitar tho. And i like jun’s medieval bard (?) shirt and i like tht motion effect they keep putting on him. Mixing is very strange
  • i also kind like just using tht spotlight to make a fake moon in the set 😭
  • BLACK OUTFIT YEEEEAAAAAA
  • honestly i like tht blank white set more than the other one i feel like u could make a good mv out of just him in tht room dancing in tht outfit if u kno how to utilize complementary visual effects etc…like some of these effects they're using anyway fit p nicely… also the white room scene and the outfit for sure reminds me of michael janet scream mv. But just vaguely
  • i freaking love gloves. And tht effect on his voice b4 the second chorus
  • was tht pandoras box or smthn
  • i think we should as a community put more effort into getting jun into disheveled looks not elaborating
  • mv w gestures toward the arcane

Its over.

World

I lav this song lets jam

  • oh i never noticed how they connected Hot’s desert environment to this mv hm. Is the lore abt global warming or something like the new world is gna b hot yall
  • like how mingyu says hey
  • U GOT THIS PUDIDON PUDIDON ME
  • wat does the inside of this fake defunct strip mall look like
  • love the fake carefree-ness genuinely
  • love when joshua dances
  • seungkwan and joshua..oh they sang..
  • confetti and sparkles do mske everything better 🥲
  • these fcking sneakers arent working tho they needed boots like some nice cunty heeled boots fr.
  • junhui is simply outstanding here

Its over.

Cheers

LETS FCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOO

  • PIANO WIE NAN MWONGAREUL BAETJI ..kick snare opseodo rideumun FWEAKY…EVERYBODY COME WITH ME bunwigi SHAKE IT..urin jiha bangeseo GEONMUREUL OLLIJI OH!!!!
  • oh the meme edits they wouldve made w this song if it were 2018
  • i love every single bit of this song and mv just so we all kno b4 we rlly get into it. And scoups looks fcking beautiful wat a don
  • UGH (< saw hoshi)
  • i love the way he moves i love dancers man 😭
  • and the wires hanging from the ceiling bring a sort of primer (2004) vibe to the workplace that i do really like actually
  • the lighting in hoshis chorus scene is nice i like tht u can only see the tops of the heads and the shoulders of the ppl in the crowd
  • yea scoups. Yea. Like fcking heard, chef
  • the part of the mv where we travel thru the machinery of the car is too shortttt imo i love a good machinery travel moment..reminds me of aaliyah more than a woman..
  • the women backup dancers in the black suits..are…eating…
  • i like when woozi acts taken by the atmosphere lol
  • yas SCOUPS POINTED AT MEEEEEE 😭😭😭
  • died
  • the serious ass look hoshi gives himself in the mirror. Great sunglasses btw. And he looks good in gold links
  • wow as much as i love hot this was kind of a more important release than the actual 2022 cb lmaoooo …same thing happened in 2023 w bss being better than the svt cb ? Hmmmmmm 🤔

Its over.

Hot

Well some of yall may kno i love this song to pieces..ive already watched this mv once today so i probs wont have much to say tbh.

  • group shot of them all in silhouette..my beloved…
  • LMAOOOO this moment in the scene where theyre all on tht white slab and dk just solemnly nods at the camera like bruh u r so unserious. Also this scene seems like itd b a good setting for a phone commercial imo like instead of holding watever tf those black planks r they could b holding the samsung z flip and itd kinda make sense tht way too like i could see them selling phones like this
  • the picsart text flashing across the screen is so tacky tho im sorry…wat u typing pioneer across the screen for man come on now
  • the coin sound is too good
  • im v curious abt this desert set
  • THEY MADE WONWOO STEP ON HIS GLASSESSSSSJSNSJS!:?:??/?/?/?/? DAYUM????? WHY… HE CANT SEE 😭😭 And they put a nose ring on him omg this is wats wrong w the world these days…
  • rlly like tht green suit too
  • hoshi looks crazy
  • why do they keep giving them these black rectangles…
  • jun is so real rn
  • joshua smashing shit yyeeeAAAAAAA
  • sissy that mad max

Its over.

Darling

Doesn’t this one get like weirdly depressing at the end lol

  • reminds me of gorillaz plastic beach artwork from jump. But just for a second and super vaguely like im stretching it but still. Its a lot more utopian than plastic beach
  • and now im reminded of ms. Honey’s house in matilda
  • tall ass doors
  • ooo i actually kinda love the scenes where things r disintegrating…the music isnt fitting for those scenes at all but ignoring tht its cool
  • its actually kind of hilarious watching them fall to their demises w this breezy fcking song playing over it..isnt tht just the way..
  • i love how no svt lore storyline ever gets fleshed out or completed theyre just kinda u kno doing watever. Also i love tht in some reality svt r in hell now

Its over.

Hai Cheng

Awwwwww ive never seen this one. I dont think ill have much to say

  • confession ive never listened to this song b4 in my life. And he sounds quite good here his lower register is so warm and so is his falsetto
  • oh maybe i have seen part of this b4, i think i remember saying it reminded me of the silent boarding gate mv. Still does
  • ok im paying more attention to the song rn cuz its more interesting to me…he’s just doing so well ive never heard him sound this solid b4
  • like the aerial shot of him on the beach its giving red clay soil
  • i love the earth bruh

Its over.

Ruby

I listened to this song last year while doing my russian final. Lets see ..

  • he was so scared of those women probably
  • the zebra print fucks
  • he looks better w the undercut i think
  • i love tht this song is short also
  • bathroom should b dirtier he should b dirtier while in the bathroom as well
  • hate clothes with brand labels on them 💔💔💔
  • the voice in the bridge is too good
  • woozi needs to dye his eyebrows blonde keep his hair black

Its over.

Power of love

Dont rlly care abt this one may only have one bullet pt

  • this and dream lean the sane way artistically speaking and i rlly like them both actually lol like bc of the green screen and idk just the way stuff looks (idk technical terms im sleepy) theres a kind of uncanny valley element to some parts of these mvs i enjoy tht
  • just checked n im srsly so surprised tht the two mvs weren’t directed or produced by any of the same ppl wow
  • ok the use of green screen graphics in rhis is so delicious to me i fcking love how fake and sugary this all looks its like candyland
  • ooo i need to ss some stuff from this mv badly 😭 these windows xp wallpaper settings like this truly is a bit of me
  • last part reminds me of ashley simpson outta my head mv

Its over.

Rock with you

I loved this song personally…lets get into it

  • the picsart style overlays have been going on for a while huh
  • my only comment ⬆️

Ready to love

One of their best singles not joking this song = cream of the crop

  • THERES A WOMAN IN HERE ??? Literally never saw tht cut before 😭😭😭
  • before anything else can i say i loved hoshis dye job this era
  • seungkwan looks so..facking good too…like everybody kind of looked their best this era i think. I prefer longer hair on mingyu tho
  • wat is the point of the girl being here we only see her for like 3 seconds just let the mv b gay
  • also wat is this set hehee the giant cat mascot sitting on top of the dilapidated warehouse (?)
  • they shouldve been in diff clothes for the hose scene like shorts or something, def not the wide legged pants many of them were wearing. Makes the choreo ( them) look a bit weird
  • cute breezy mv !

Its over

Bittersweet

Ive actually never watched this mv in full ive just seen clips so i kno its wong kar wai the house

  • two men chasing a woman when they clearly just want each other like who hasnt been there
  • MINGYU GET OUT THE STREET THERES A CAR COMING NOOOOOO
  • i can appreciate the choppy motion blur effects being used as a tool to signify memories here. Realistic, my memories r blurry too

Its over.

Not alone

I will quite possibly have truly nothing to say for this one

  • man they rlly phone it in for their jpn singles theyre kind of interchangeable
  • seungkwan looks effing gorg
  • its a rlly beautifully shot and edited mv
  • oh pandemic context. Right
  • for some reason the only part of this song im already familiar with is vernons verse part
  • this is suuuuch a jpop style mv awe lol like ok 48g

Its over.

Side by side

Many may not kno this but i was obsessed w this song at one time and its one of my favorite releases from any of the seventeen members, i regard this song so highly seriously. Reminds me of the mandopop songs i use to listen to when i was learning chinese in high school 😭

  • minghao i love u tht velour jacket needed to go tho u look like somebodys uncle 💗
  • i love love love to pieces how cheesy this mv is and im not joking i adore it
  • the green poker lounge lamp is so effervescent

Its over.

Spider

😎🤓

  • im trying to get a clear view of his boots the tread on them looks interesting
  • to be completely real i always wished theyd done more w this mv …like gotten a little more loopy psychedelic w it maybe…ur talking abt losing urself in the rapture of another persons attention or watever like let us see a little bit of tht crazy..the mv is very sleek but not crazy enough for me..limbo was a little better w the craziness spider mv could've done w several heaps of watever the limbo director was reaching toward
  • he’s p good at writhing around on the ground tho
  • the shot w the red backround where his bangs r combed out over his eyes..i would like more of tht as well. Like i think hoshi would look rlly good w a hairstyle tht obscures his eyes actually, i kno it would annoy him a lot but he looks rlly good w his hair covering his eyes
  • also i do understand tht the mv is functioning to affirm his main dancer status, tht its minimal in order to highlight wat he’s doing w his body n stuff im just saying u kno. If EYE were creative director…i’d care abt other things…but who care
  • lots of small editing quirks in here lol

Its over.

Silent boarding gate

Eeeep…ok so at the time of writing this its abt 5:25am, the sun is rising where i am..this is kind of the perfect song for that. This is also probably my favorite solo track from any svt member period. I think its so lovely. Im just gna enjoy watching this again i may not have much to say. Ive seen the mv before and i remember it well :)

  • the clouds look so low on the day they filmed theyre like cotton candy
  • no other comments. This is a perfect song.

Home run

I rllyyyyyy like home run and i find the mv super charming ..love me some big band jazz ok lets have some fun

  • ok so this is another mv thts picking up where a different single left off..and if I were to compare world-darling and home run-left and right for tht i think id pick the latter pair honestly like i dont particularly like L R but i think the thread between L R and home run is thicker and less knotted
  • oooo wonwoo dk mingyu tht is a good looking trio their features complement one another… also i wear my cardigans the same way mingyu does no bra
  • love how high they jump
    • this mv is edited directed so well and i also just love the choreo for this song
  • when i get to the part where theyre all arguing over the pool table i find myself pausing every second iot catch all their angry faces …caught hoshi pretend yelling and i fcking loved to see it i love seeing ppl when theyre angry
  • joshuas squint is very enticing he is a beautiful man
  • the plot for this mv is so fun to me too, they didnt go as far w it they couldve or as they wouldve if this was 2nd gen maybe .. i miss so badly when kpop mvs were cinematic -like srsly theyre not bad actors id like to see them do an mv w a story tht has a beginning middle and end..dino jeonghan mingyu esp slayed in this mv
  • love jeonghan playing the piano when there is no piano in the bridge whatsoever
  • i love this dance sm ..this is on my dream svt concert set list for sure

Its over. Also before we move to the next..guys i think hoshi might kinda look good with a mustache…just think abt it like walk w me…

24hr

Classic good track. Classic good track.

  • lol i like the way joshua looks back at the camera @ the beginning of the mv he looks pissed. Also this is like the last interesting jpn language track svt released
  • tropical house is so good im sorry i will eat an entire wet seal retail store in order to keep hearing it eternally
  • not many comments atm cuz im literally falling asleep as i type but ive always loved the move where hoshi conjures minghao up from the grave also hoshi sounds gorg here
  • everyone else is in suits and scoups is in his jammies 💗 in a reptile terrarium💗
  • kind of obsessed w the aluminum wall
  • no but srsly why does scoups get pierced by the heavenly cord in this mv like he’s the only one facing strife over the course of the entire music video why have they done this to him

Ok im fcking stopping here for now cuz its 6am and i have work in the afternoon and im bout to pass out ok bye i will continue at a later date cuz this was fun
