[@MadnessQuotient]

Heres the thing though PD: forget about "faking reactions". Its "The Kulture STUDY" not the "PD acts surprised by Kpop videos show". I think a show on a video you have already seen or a song you have already heard would be just fine if you make clear that it is an analysis not a reaction and cover any emotional response in terms of "when I first heard this I felt ...." or "the more i watch this video i see ..." I appreciate that there must be some sort of intellectual rush in being able to put together a detailed, coherent analysis on the fly in the way that you normally do, but it isnt the be all and end all of what viewers are watching for. Its just a thought.

[@jessi5288]

A.C.E has steadily gotten better and better with every comeback. They’re so talented and hard working. They’re probably one of my favorite discoveries I’ve made since kpop became a thing in my life. This come back, tho... their concept photos stepped up the game, they were gorgeous and belong on someone’s wall not in the pages of a photo book and the MV was... I expect a lot from kpop now when it comes to concepts and visuals. But that said. You know Wonho debuted recently, right? He has two MVs out right now...

'Goblin (Favourite Boys)' was on repeat at least for an hour while I was cleaning the house yesterday. I had so much fun!

[@theglowfishpark]

One thing you touched on that i am always impressed on with ACE MVs is their production team's ability to reuse spaces and set pieces for maximum efficiency. Every video has this, but you really wouldn't notice it on a first watch, it's not unless you start paying a lot of attention that you realize how much is actually reused, often in really clever ways where they switch out lighting or props to trick you into thinking it's a new set altogether. I started noticing this especially with Take Me Higher, maybe the cleverest low budget MV i've ever seen, but they all have it to some degree. Their production team knows where to spend the bucks (good lighting, good cameras, good editing, good costumes) and knows where they can make it work with less. It's really such a good example of how a smaller company with a smaller budget can still make something really beautiful and compelling and not look cheap. Also this is SOTY. That's all i have to say. Undercover was my #3 last year, and this is my #1 this year (so far).

[@huud6161]

I've read somewhere that in korea there's a type of goblin in korean folklore that attracts people called 'Gaksi Dokkaebi' which is similar to Gong Yoo's charaacter in the drama Goblin. Hence the connection between 'Goblin' and 'Favourite Boys'. Well it's just my assumption

[@mooneyes7234]

I feel about it the same way you do. it truly feels like a culmination of all A.C.E's music and I LOVE IT. it's like they ascended to another level with this comeback. another thing I would like to point out is that lots of groups do traditional looks or traditional inspired looks but NOONE has made it worked the way A.C.E has. they didn't just put on modern hanboks and called it a day, they created entire new looks that felt like genuine street fashion, like a new direction Korean fashion could take. their stylists are true visionaries.

[@shuasapphic]

omg with undercover being one of the best songs i've ever heard and favorite boys topping it, that's my exact thoughts too! and favorite boys being like a mix of most of their songs, too, i agree :) ace is so unique and talented, i love them so much!!!

[@musicalmami9]

Hi :D

[@FeatheredWingz]

I love all the appreciation for the whole artistry of A.C.E! A.C.E themselves, their stylists, their set-designers, the music writers & mixers, the editing staff....they are the definition of quality over quantity! Beat Interactive may not have the budget of SM groups, but dang if they make something amazing anyway! I'm sure by now you've seen Jun & Chan's under-water concept photos. Underwater photography isn't new, but I'm not sure I've seen it to promote a kpop comeback before. And they are particularly gorgeous!!! As a fashion design student myself, I believe true creativity and vision reveals itself when you DON'T have literally all the tools easily at your disposal. You have to GET creative to BE creative, y'know? And you have to be embracing of change, not just casually accepting of it. A.C.E just seems to run head-first in a different direction when a formulaic pattern starts to appear in the industry lol. It was fitting when they covered VIXX's On & On; also a brave and particularly pioneering group. That cover felt like a statement of solidarity from A.C.E.
