The Kulture Study: LE SSERAFIM 'CRAZY' MV

[@deathfire12]

I don't care who you are "I'm an otaku bestie" is lyrics of the decade.

[@katyfaise]

its my new vocal stim lolol

[@onceuponagoat2316]

Trying not to duck walk in public to it is mission impossible.

[@godsplan6137]

@@onceuponagoat2316fact you duck walk made respect to you!!! I try doing that my knee might give out 😂😂😂

[@bornplooper1735]

For real

[@sophiam.krager3815]

"Where the heck is saki?!" being my first personally😎

[@AndrewSoup]

shout out to House of Juicy Couture, shout out to Le Sserafim and HYBE for getting actual Ballroom representation in the video

[@godsplan6137]

Check out vogue remix. They let house of juicy couture have a mv with just them. An the remix makes it sound like different song. It’s amazing

[@katiekawaii]

I feel like they finally figured out who Le Sserafim is and committed to it. And I'm here for it.

[@nekosite]

perfectly worded!

[@NiclasKPop]

What an unbelievable release! Fun, refreshing, entertaining, and so damn catchy! Love the fact they used solely black backup-dancers given the history of the genre.

[@bronymon08]

The black dancers are the ballroom house House of Juicy Couture❤

[@titansaint]

@@bronymon08 holy fuck they really made sure they did the genre justice!!!!

[@katiekawaii]

Yes!

[@악의구렁텅이-t2p]

정말 멋집니다 댄서들 !!

[@godsplan6137]

Facts I wanna see someone say culture appropriation. They even let back up dancers have their own mv with vogue remix version

[@pariahmonkey]

Source played this comeback perfectly to prevent toxic commenters reaching into their cliche quiver of hate. "Can't sing"- talk/sing with strong raps. "Inappropriate choreo" - Choreo fits the base concept to perfection. "Appropriation of cultures/other artists"-They brought in and put House of Juicy Couture front and center as the face of ballroom vogue. This comeback was meticulous and deliberate and ti allowed all members to shine. Sakura's duckwalk as an Otaku Bestie was brilliant.

[@jem5771]

that Sakura moment is so cvnty and absurd and surreal that it makes me scream with excitement every time, she stole the whole song and video with that

[@ibrahimabarry4937]

Omg i thought I was the only one obsessed with the duckwalk. It is so camp and silly. I even tried to do it and it is NOT easy, you’re supposed to keep your back straight which is really difficult 💀😭

[@vixxexo6855]

I loved the choreo, but wish they atleast gave Yunjin and Chaewon more vocal lines. There is like no singing in the song. It is not really helping them to be seen as talented.

[@Gabe413]

​@@vixxexo6855 listen to crazier then

[@toledo_campos]

You're so right. I just hope Source would've care for the members like that in the Coachella gig planning. The company's A&R should play into the strengths of its artists, and in "CRAZY" they did it so so well, so maybe there's a chance of them reverting the criticism around them (cannot talk about the hate, because that comes from absurdity and not from reason).

[@muriax]

I love the mixture of phonk music and voguing, le sserafim never fail with concepts.

[@4EVERWITHBTS]

I think the “CRAZY” concept is not just about being crazy, dressing crazy or acting crazy. Of course the music video and concept is quite quirky but the main concept & meaning behind CRAZY is loving something so much that it drives you crazy, not holding back your excitement/love for something bc that can also make you crazy. It’s just about putting your brain on 0 and unapologetically loving something/doing something you love beyond sanity. I felt like in this MV and with this song and the whole EP the girls were just having fun. This concept is perfect for them and it feels like we’ve finally seen the first petals bloom of the beautiful flower that is LE SSERAFIM.

[@kpopahjussi]

Le Sserafim is still a young group with so many opportunities and options to follow up on ahead of them. This video has unexpected visuals; I love it when a group can do that. Musically it is an excellent club beat so it will live for a long time. Overall a fun choice for them.

[@6012reasol]

This comeback to me is the perfect move for them… and for me. The clubness of the tracks, and chasing lightning being like an extended ver. of their spoken word intros?????? its like they made it for me

[@fabiant.2485]

I'M AN OTAKU BESTIE!

[@songjoowan]

PD: "is there no bridge ?" They BURN THE BRIDGE

[@shenvi]

I think they made the catchiest song of the year!!

[@gaiapiazza5329]

After this comeback I began a stan. And to think all the bad times they have been through recently, I'm so happy that they are back and I really hope they will get the recognition they deserve. We always forget that these idols are so young... they are really talented.

[@ot7biasedmashups]

Welcome back to another episode of Le Sserafim just don't know how to miss

[@sabine6844]

nooo you skipped over sakura's iconic "i'm an otaku bestie" 😭 please watch some of their performances of crazy and focus on sakura's part, the dance combined with those sassy vocals are EVERYTHING

[@thatkpopsis]

Le sserafim don’t miss! The whole ep is fire

[@takoholic]

PD, the toy gun you see with Sakura is a reference about her being a huge avid gamer. Before LE SSERAFIM, Sakura use to stream her game play on her KZbin channel. She really skilled too and I wish Source Music would allow her stream again.

[@morphkogan8627]

I wouldn't say she is "really skilled" lol. Shes okay...

[@momomo0805]

they really honored lgbtq poc culture with the voguing, house genre, and house of juicy couture! i really loved this video and song bc of that. gay clubs all over the world will be LIT

[@godsplan6137]

They got a vogue remix version of it. Sounds so good

[@alinsofan501]

after hearing this i agree with you, that is indeed the soty of this year.

[@yetanotherYTuser2]

Best title track since Impurities for me. Chaewon has a great rap voice. Kazuha is the one who has improved the most since debut, her facial expressions are no joke now. She is giving in to her visual role.

[@silkentertainment6749]

le sserafim is SOOO back.

[@Casper745]

LE SSERAFIM Always Making Music That Has Beautiful Vocals sound engineering mixing and melodies from Start to finish

[@stellakatula1439]

They already get hit by the lighting in the trailer. The Yunjin cut to the choreo is cut on Yunjin pointing. Also the crazy doesn’t mean they’re actually crazy the meaning is that if loving and following what you want to do so much makes you crazy then so be it. So the crazy aren’t actually crazy

[@fishtick]

i was initially a little "eh this isn't really for me" when i first listened to this song, but immediately upon second listen i was hooked. it's stuck in my head like crazy! (absolutely pun intended)

[@NathyIsabella]

absolutely love it! the choreo and the video and I can't take this (and 1-800-hot-n-fun) song out of my heaaaaaaaad!

[@jem5771]

the way I've been waiting for this, I know you'll live

[@MsJackieJack]

The electricity symbolism is there if you squint.Their touch is one million volt. The scenes include Chaewon being a satellite dish in a bathouse, Sakura being with lamps in an aquarium, and all the girls together underwater. I think they themselves are the toaster thrown in a bath. Their touch is like Pikachu, after all. That part you pointed out, they're doing a long point, like they're touching something. I'm just guessing here though.

[@RORA_AHYEON_RAMI_BABYMONSTER]

LE SSERAFIM's 'CRAZY' is cool. The song is addictive. What a track !

[@crowsiest318]

Someone said it below me in the comments of another comment, just in case you did not see it the dancers are from The House of Juicy Couture and they are professionals.

[@carolinesch.]

Legendary hous of juicy couture, I screamed

[@tamirrrrr]

they are voguers, actually they're from a kiki house, The House of Juicy and we have 3 femme queens in the MV, its amazing

[@alix4256]

I agree with the idea that its more surreal than crazy. The way I see it is Le Sserafim's visual brand since the start has been very modern, cool & sleek/commercial (?) (I think of the visuals for Fearless as oppossed to their more recent releases) and this version is of crazy is more of the "cool/party girl crazy", like high fashion almost or Kate Moss at grungey party. Still would've hoped they'd go a little stronger with it though, I think it was nailed perfectly in the concept photos for example.

[@alix4256]

Now having seen their performace video, I definitely think they leaned in more to the genre styling and girly appeal over the "crazy" concept. Not bad, just unexpected.

[@TA-id9gw]

Hello! I am so happy to see your reaction. I don't know if it's just me, but I see you well!! It's always good to see you here :)

[@tontonyland]

Do you remember MIMIIROSE and their debut with 'Rose'? You reacted to it and liked it a lot. You missed their first comeback 'FLIRTING' in September last year, after that they left their original agency and moved to another one, in this one they included two new members and came back as a group of 7 on August 16 with 'The flowers swayed'. I hope you give them a chance, they are a wonderful group 😊

[@yuj1ntunes_eite]

oh, i love mimiirose

They’re amazing. Love this album too. ❤️‍🔥🇹🇷

[@denicegirl8162]

One thing that I really love from lesserafim, they always try to explore different genres in their music 🫶🏻

[@denicegirl8162]

I'm so satisfied for your comment on Yunjin's part 🪼

[@chiaravallini532]

I was so waiting for this!!! (Obsessed with this Cb btw! I think they found their perfect sound/concept. With their attitude and facial expressions this slaps). Just as their epetbw's last year as you said yeah

[@morphkogan8627]

Totally agree, Chaewon talking vocals are so damn good. She is great in this song.

[@10mushroom10head]

SOOO GOOOOD

[@bexw1086]

The electricity comes from the chasing lightning so it’s continuing the story from the trailer I think

[@jordangomez6378]

Omg I haven't seen you in a while. Crazy was so GOOOD 🔥

Hoping for a full vogue dance break for the award show end of the year performances 🙏🙏🙏

[@1_lightbox_1]

Thanks LE SSERAFIM, for making KPOP fun again.

[@diorudolin5862]

Felling like Fearless,I'm love it,THAT IS WHAT I WANT.

[@charr-sharr]

Right now, in Korea, LE SSERAFIM is receiving harsher criticism than they deserve, especially with talks of other groups' debuts going around. Some KZbinrs are even jumping on the bandwagon, using this opportunity to gain popularity by attacking LE SSERAFIM. They are not a group that deserves this kind of treatment. We need the help of FEARNOTs around the world, and even those who aren’t FEARNOTs. Please spread more love for them. We FEARNOTs believe that, in the end, love is stronger. We believe in LE SSERAFIM, and we believe in love.

[@Ash2theB]

I think the reason why they didn't add the Lighting effect was because they already did it in their teasers of which storyline from the last ep was Crazy into them Chasing Lighting which will be the next Eps of them either catching the lightning but someone theorized that they already have been sapped by lightning so it basically static electricity coming from them messing up the video. The lighting effect also reminds me of the whip that is usually really popular sample in house music that's probably why they reference Beyoncé in 1-800-Hot-n-Fun. Also the Little John What is just so iconic and fits the overall aesthetic that the downbeat should stop there for dramatic effect.

[@bourjoism3917]

Guys please vote for Le Sserafim at MTV Vnas 2024 the girls deserve a big 🥇

i love thissss

[@악의구렁텅이-t2p]

건강해보이셔서 정말 좋습니다

[@shuyi_555]

Eunchae's part felt a little off to me on first listen, but the way she delivered it made it seem like she was making a statement, so I appreciate it more now!

[@JackieBarajas]

Love the hair cut!! Dang I haven't seen these videos pop up in a while.

[@nekromi97]

One thing is for sure, Le sserafim doesn't know what under delivering is they always exceed expectations

[@Thundershiro]

Le sserafim💙💙💙

[@AlexaOleksa]

They really open the camp trend that is now going. Song, lyrics goes with choreo and with music video

[@gillove189]

Instead of "crazy" maybe "surreal"? Fun video and fun analyses of the wonderful Le Serrafim. Now please look at 3Piece "Summer Feeling". The focus there are the close up facial expressions and the dynamite song that is very retro Kpop. I think you will like it, PD.

lol ur so pathetic making a comment on a REACTION VID of a group u hate? 😂😂

[@jazliedark]

I hope pd can react to the whole album 😅

[@addama]

"I don't know how I feel about that cut" You might say it was Crazy to make that cut there. I really do think that they looked at all layers of this and tried to make at least one "crazy" decision everywhere, from the editing to the mixing to the costumes to the choreo, lighting, having the big head mode part BE the bridge, etc etc. I think it goes all the way down.

[@rvaizss]

thank you ❤

[@lvohbit]

I need him to react to loosemble so bad 😢😢

[@ZRisyad]

Like you said, this is very different from Le sserafim we knew before. Very experimental. Both the song, video, even the album concept captured their sassy-ness of them and they deliver perfectly. I think personally this album is the perfect album to portray Le sserafim.

[@v4leree]

truly for the western market

[@kimkardashi-un2.051]

Nah, it's for the girls and the gays everywhere around the world

[@sooahnim]

Idk it's more of an homage to western created music, black culture, lgbtq+ culture, not necessarily for the western market. Like idk if the mainstream market really likes full dance songs like these

[@ramya2946]

long awaited reaction

[@browneyedgabi6030]

I can't wait for the performance MV. When I first heard this song, my first two thoughts were gay and house music. I have been listening to this mini album non-stop and even though I want the songs to be longer. I have accepted how short they are. But this mini album has got me through my work day. I work at a medical clinic, and it's end of the month and as the biller of the office end of the month is honestly the hardest day but with this mini album and the attitude it exudes plus the lovely last song has gotten me through the day. But this MV woke my ass up this morning, but I want the performance MV because I know there has to be one!!

[@silkentertainment6749]

the gay clubs will eat this up

[@carolinesch.]

Well the do have voguing in the mv which has its roots within newyork ballculture and started in the 70s in nyc drag and ballroom scene so gay is right😂

[@jxxi]

KPOP IS ALIVE AND WELL 🔥🔥

[@msj0015]

I'M AN OTAKU BESTIE is the iconic line of the year.

[@hugomendoza5665]

it was a lot simpler of a concept, but I would recommend reacting to LE SSERAFIM's Smart music video, there's a few performance videos, but it's the official mv you wanna look for

[@kittycatsy]

Dude! Why haven't I seen you for a long time? You cut your hair? It looks good.

I NEVER CLICKED SO FAST OMG I'm completely obsessed with this song and MV

[@kumaismylittleboy]

Sorry to be off topic, but I wanted to ask you to react to the new Fifty Fifty songs. I know people are hating on the company, but Keena stayed and that's enough for me to support the group... and the new songs are SO GOOD.

[@pamyurin89]

LE SSERAFIM MOTHERS OF GAYS ❤

[@Madison.Dances829]

Le Sserafim really said gay rights with this one

[@artist_37]

18:30 I think the implication is that they are the ones producing the electricity or the physical embodiment of it. That's is how I view it at least. You should check out the Chasing Lighting Story Trailer, its 5 minutes and very interesting. May help you understand the electricity bits.

[@cheyelam]

Fifty Fifty starry night please

[@rocketfallen]

I am an otaku, bestie.

[@JbDDT]

A lot of people really dont like the Eunchae Rap Part, which is me in the first listen but after sometime that part really stuck in my head, its lame and silly but it works.

Someone send me the link to PD’s reaction to EASY please!!! 😢

[@elenaft3790]

Where is your Easy reaction??

[@HailToTheMeep]

They took a lot of inspiration from black queer ballroom culture of vogueing the same culture Madonna took inspiration from in the 1990s when the culture was at its height in New York.

[@pcarroll490]

Ballroom 🔥

[@msj0015]

CRAZY is addictive in a weird way. It's like You don't want to like it but you can't help liking it. That's how weird it is! And the more you listen, the more you want to listen.
