my absolute favorite k-pop music videos

[@addition1204]

whiplash manages to be minimalistic and maximalistic at the same time i love it

[@morela58]

i love "can't you see me", its my favourite mv from txt. i always have chills when beomgyu hits taehyun with ketchup and it looks like his chest is bleeding. i also adore yeonjun's "bloody" hands. i love the use of red, i love the perfect white picket fence house that gets absouletly destroyed over time. such a simple, yet haunting representation of a deteriorating relationship

[@crystalrose4260]

i would def include girls never die roo

[@liz2668]

One of my fav mvs ever!

My favourite kpop MVs have always been Shinee's "View" and f(x)'s "4 Walls", which came out in the same year and have always felt like "sibling" videos (especially since Shinee and f(x) were also "sibling" groups). They might seem simple these days, but back in 2015 they felt extremely refreshing and vivacious, what with them not being filmed in the classic SM box sets and all. Good on you for being able to pick just one Red Velvet MV tho! There whole videography is so rich and pretty, I'd probably choose "Peekaboo" for my person number 1, but "Feel My Rhythm" is also gorgeous 🥰 "Nap of a Star" is also really high on my own list, super happy to see it get some love from you too 😊

[@annafirnen4815]

The MV that leaves me in awe till this day is Xia Junsu's Flower. Considering it came out like in 2014 I think? the visuals are absolutely INSANE. And the storytelling??? Styling??? Epicness??? Masterpiece.

[@potato_stuff_stop_looking]

I love the symbolism of Ladies Code - Galaxy, definitely a standout in the Kpop scene. For Red Velvet, they have a bunch of good videos - Peek-a-boo for the storyline, Russian roulette for the animation. For innovation, I think Orange caramel - My copycat is really unique.

[@potato_stuff_stop_looking]

Also, a very forgotten MV but was ahead of its time was IU - Only I didn't know. I feel it could be siblings with Ditto B Side.

[@PrinceOfTheSound]

I wrote a whole essay on stray kids han jisung hold my hand MV 😭The assignment was to study and break downt every shot

[@PollyNogueira]

I knew map of a star would be here... masterpiece!

[@sarah0325_]

God's Menu was objectively amazing in all respects, hats off to Bang Jaeyeob what an insane director, I don't think I would be hard put to say that it brought a shift in the industry in terms of music video production, especially the set camera rigs and how the editing/directing accentuated the theme so well

[@odothedoll2738]

reminds me of the K-pop music video edits I used to do on my old channel (just called Odo the Doll). My favorite one is probably Apple by Gfriend mixed with Zenith by Ghost, I should remake it.

[@eozya]

Love Wins All's MV broke me but I also adore Lilac's MV- I love the different stages of the train and I feel like it fits with the lyrics really well, especially the fight scene. I'm also just a sucker for NMIXX's MVs because they're camp to me! :)

[@addition1204]

your intro is perfect for a vid like this because it's so cinematic & beautifully edited :)

[@multidisaster6]

jungle by cix actually changed my life (mv, song AND choreo)

[@addition1204]

i literally rewatched it yesterday and was just as awed as i was when i first watched it 4 years ago

[@liz2668]

Great list! I also really love Nap of a Star, BS&T, Ditto, and Love wins all. My personal favorites include: Accendio, Girls Never Die, One of These Nights, Peekaboo (RV honestly have a lot of great mvs), Taeyeon's INVU, V's Slow Dancing and Rainy Days, BTS' RUN, and Bite Me! Kpop honestly have some of the best mvs ever!

[@kloescande66]

This selection was so good ! You put all of my favourites MVs : I'am also a big fan of Jungle by CIX, SOS by Kang Daniel, Gasoline by Key, Feel my rythm by Red velvet, Obsession by Exo, Shadow and Blood Sweat and Tears too and the G-idle ones of course ! For real sometimes, when I'm bored, I always watch a few MVs that I find beautiful, and they are all on my list, it's kinda scary !! The ones that I want to add are Last Dance by Bigbang and Soso by Winner ! Last Dance is so simple but so effective, the shots really moved me ! Same thing with SOSO every single shot provokes something in me, it's like unexplainable. Some of them are really iconics, like the one with the horse on the floor, the one were Hoonie is nude in front of the mirrors, the one where there is a member who seems likes floating in the air but there is a glass above him like a cage ...

[@sosomovies3333]

Love this selection !! My personal fav mv is russian roulette by red velvet

[@leylabee1346]

So happy to see Jungle and scared here. Truely underrated masterpieces. My absolute favorite Kpop MV is by far Bibis "animal farm" tho, I was hoping to see it here from th beginning and was not disappointed! First by everglow is on my personal list. By far my favorite song by them and they were never presented better than in that MV.

[@queenhinata]

bts' blood sweat & tears is an excellent choice. my most recent favorite mv is jaehyun's smoke and triples' girls never die.

[@Gaby-df4ge]

Finally sacrifice está me up mv getting the recognation she deserves

[@AuntyStan]

And to think God's menu wasnt even going to be on that album let alone the title track either, but they asked to make it so and were able to change it. Crazy!

[@d.b2073]

some i would add are: bambam- last parade (not a fan of the song, but the visuals go crazy, lagit looks like a really dark Bosch work) artms- birth (the visuals and creativity are just art) monsta x- all in (one of my favorite storylines in kpop, so well done, ill never get over it) rm- lost (a lot of things i could say, but its just really cool) also ateez- the real (the energy and storyline are SO fun)

[@mavis.riley.johnson]

10:10 im pretty sure key did his own styling for gasoline! not sure if he designed any of the costuming tho

[@immastanthat]

@mavis.riley.johnson would not be surprised at all i’m sure he’s got the taste

[@whatever9097]

- Armageddon, Supernova, Whiplash, Drama - Aespa - Russian Roulette - Red Velvet - Do Not Touch - Misamo - Deja Vu, R.o.S.E. Blue, Boca, BONVOYAGE, OOTD, Justice, Reason - Dreamcatcher - Poison - PinkFantasy - Addicted, Karma - Pixy

[@daymightbe]

Blood, Sweat and Tears MV is actually what got me into k-pop (": i fell in love with BTS (i mena, i still am, we're married basically lmao) but mvs are what i love the most in this uhh fandom? weird to call it genre when we're talking about not-music

[@jungkookluvie]

Me too!! Blood sweat & tears>>>

[@multinsomnia5455]

Loved this video! Your commentaries are always super interesting to read and I really like the extracts you choose for the different songs! 😊

[@wywrd_mtnt]

these are all such good picks! some others I love besides the ones you mentioned are a few nmixx mvs, I loved the ones from the new era a ton (see that, love is lonely and sickuhh) all for different reasons lol. tripleS girls never die is also really doing it for me

[@login0325]

Random but I love doodles in MVs

[@PinayYonsei]

Thank you for a great list! For TXT I would also mention "Frost" and "0 x 1 Lovesong" Japanese version.

[@jungkookluvie]

My favorite MV for life is Run by BTS 💕

[@Taejiu]

P1Harmony appreciation !

[@GenGen013]

I agree with a lot of the MVs on the list. Especially jungle from cix, sos from kang Daniel and animal farm from BIBI. The ones I will add to list are: Cosmic from red velvet -> I love this MV with subtle creepy feeling From CIX I would also add save me, kill me. On a bad day this MV can bring me to tears A MV (and song) that imo doesn’t get talked about enough is burn it from golden child and especially the extended version I love that MV The MVs from Xikers and Ateez have fun and good storytelling to them, my pick from them would be tricky house and halazia Jackson also has some amazing MV, my personal favorite is blow I don’t know if it counts but DPR Ian also has some good MVs I could watch for days I loved the storytelling in bittersweet from wonwoo and mingyu (seventeen) I could probably go on for a very long time, so I will just end with two MVs that I kind off expected to be in the video. Which are please don’t and no sad song for my broken heart from K.Will. He is king of plot twist for a reason :)

[@nanikazoldyck1457]

XG - Howling

[@persipixi]

definitely would add monsta x - dramarama

[@LovelyYeonjun505]
