The Kulture Study: LE SSERAFIM 'UNFORGIVEN' MV Reaction & Review

[@TDG2310]

man... this comeback felt so fulfilling, it's insane. I think that this is an end for the trilogy of Fearless, Anti-Fragile, and Unforgiven. I can't wait to see what's next!

[@sheldonsaidali5421]

is that prolly the reason it has ending credits and it doesnt have any hints of a comeback

Eunchae always confident since debut, but Agency waiting for good moment , next CB Sakura i thnk

[@kanaphan7646]

@@willyvendy5310Euchae wasn’t confident since debut. She knew what to do and wasn’t awkward however she worked hard to build her confidence. I remember how she cried after a performance bc her shirt didn’t get off completely even if it wasn’t a big deal since she ate. My girl is getting more confident than ever thanks to her hardwork, the members love and fans who care about her.

[@moomoomachines7193]

“If belief’s a sin, I’m a villain, I’m not that Cinderella type of a girl”. Damn that’s a bar. Defying societal expectations of traditional feminism in pursuit of exploration and self happiness is super cool to see.

[@EnervatedSociety]

"societal expectations of traditional feminism" What do YOU mean by that exactly? I've always known traditional feminism to mean liberal feminism, radical feminism and socialist/Marxist feminism all of which encourage defying social expectations of one kind/degree or another. None of them would have you be a "Cinderella type of a girl" for example. I wasn't aware that society expects "traditional feminism" from anyone. At least not in the West, and "exploration and self happiness" is so common here that it's become detrimental to society as a whole. Selfishness is off the scales here. Perhaps what you're saying makes sense in South Korea and or other countries. IDK. I'm just asking and commenting on my observations.

[@btsseratonin]

i love when u say “chaewon is just chaewon. chaewon energy” lol that’s so true chaewon is just being THE KIM CHAEWON. she’s just so powerful ❤️‍🔥

I really like that cinematic Kazuha shot where she's crawling because earlier she just ripped off her wings, and the white cloth makes new wings. I know it's kind of obvious imagery, but it's interesting how the cloth false wings are kinda holding her back, or maybe replacing what she once had. She doesn't need to be an angel to have wings. Idk I'm sure the thought process for that scene was one or maybe both of those ideas

Nile Rodgers is the guitar player and he’s the founder of the group Chic in the 70’s and was playing in tons of music in the 70’s like Sister Sledge.

[@everythingsfinett3903]

Tbh horse got a lot of screen time, if you count individual time won’t the horse have the most of it. Besides there’s never a big difference between her and Eunchae and you all only complain about the treatment Sakura gets. I think this treatment is pretty fair, they both are only vocalists while Kazuha is a main rapper, Yunjin is a main vocalist and Chaewon is a lead vocalist

[@MissyxAkunai]

​@@everythingsfinett3903 ​ @Everything’s fine TT Nope... sakura has the least, horse has in-between her and the second last members. Also you can't say it's fair treatment, especially if you consider her lack of promotions. Even if she didn't have time in the title track, at least give her other solo activity like other groups or even screen time to make up for it. But Nope... She has

[@MissyxAkunai]

@@everythingsfinett3903 Also would like to add, at least eunchae gets more solo promotions outside of the group work to make up for it even if her and sakura are tied for last (and she gets centre time during the performance)

[@lilyrubyify]

Their title tracks always make me feel so confident and invincible. Like I can achieve anything and overcome everything if I put my mind to it. Honestly, I'm kinda thankful for that.

[@titansaint]

i'm a sakura stan all the way (don't get me wrong i love them all, sakura's just been in my heart since she was solely in akb+hkt48) this is her era. the rap bit, the fucking katana, the scene with her walking the borzois, it's all her.

[@WoozidanTassia]

The joy in pd's face during the whole mv is pure therapy, it makes me happy how happy they are Rn people are really divided on the song, I really was afraid because people kept saying that it was cringe from what was heard in the teaser but then I heard it and it was a first love kind of thing, which doesn't happen to me every time, I usually get hooked on the second or third time I hear the song, which isn't bad at all, many of my favorite songs I got hooked after a few listens. Now I just know to simply not listen to people because the same thing happened with fearless, the same happened with antifragile, people didn't like it in the beginning and then became really popular, everyone hooked on the "Antitititi" and the "whatchu looking at", because their songs are catchy and unapologetically fun and distinctive and that's lesserafim's concept, to be unapologetically you, the meme of "I'm cringe but I'm free", because yeah it's ok to be a little weird, great to have fun even if others are laughing at you or uselessly criticizing, and I love that because I aspire to be like that

Recently when a Kpop video ended, I was saying "that's it?". That's not necessarily mean those groups are bad or something. It's just I was feeling they were holding more and they can do even better than that but this comeback... OMG! This is giving everything I want + even more. The Song and concept is soo good and I cant see any other group doing this instead of Le Sserafim so proud of this comeback!

I think I like itzy and le seraffim so much because they both share the boss girl/independent women concept. But this song for me is the perfect exemple of their differences! It reminds me in such a good way of Not Shy (one of my fave itzy song btw)! But where not shy was bubbly and bright, Unforgiven is dark and edgy.

When you talk about idols with massive charisma and stage presence, I think Chaewon needs to be included with the likes of Jihyo and Soyeon. Some people just have an 'it' factor that makes you pay attention to them, and I definitely think Chaewon has that.

[@AlM22]

Yesssss I love seeing you have the same reaction and excitement as me! Some people didn't like it and others liked it but not as much as Antifragile yet for me it's perfect, ahh I'm so obsessed with it - I've listened like 80+ times already.. can't stop, ugh incredible. The MV is sick too ahhh

[@kcsl1980]

What I love about them is their brand of strong femininity. It's not a **** men and everybody else energy, nor is it a mean girl, 'you wish you could be us' vibe. They're just confident and thriving and radiant, living their best life and doing things that make them happy and not what society expects of them. And they are encouraging and empowering and want the rest of us to be our best selves with them too. I love it. I love their music. I love them. They're amazing and such captivating people.

Finally people that loved this TT as much as I did! 😂 this was the first Le Sserafim TT that I loved instantly Fearless and Antifragile took a few listens to grow on me

[@BooshojoSenshi]

Fun facts: the dogs with Sakura are Borzoi, a Russian sighthound. They're actually supporting the theme for this song!! Borzoi are bred to hunt wolves and are known to be catlike, regal, stubborn and loyal. I think their breed characteristics reinforce the message of the song as the girls are "on the hunt", becoming predators in a way towards the viscous standards and judgemental attitudes of others, who hound them and gang up on them like wolves. The girls also want to embody being stubborn and loyal to themselves. As a sighthound owner and kpop fan that's really digging Le Sserafim, I thought it was really neat that the breed fit with the message of the song.

[@fairysuns]

As expected, a 12/10 rate and review from PD!!! I can't wait for you to listen to the studio album as soon as possible because they also released their old songs since FEARLESS era (with 2023 version of The World Is My Oyster, FEARLESS, and Blue Flame) to ANTIFRAGILE (as well as The Hydra and Impurities), then finally welcoming their new era with Burn the Bridge intro (the song they used in album trailer) and six other new songs including UNFORGIVEN. They did it with a purpose to explain throughout the album about their lore; their process to completely be fallen angels hence the "it's the beginning of new era, unforgiven" lyrics. Listening to all tracks from beginning until the end, from the first intro song to Fire in the belly, gives you a MUSICAL feeling that makes you feel like listening a whole story about them as LE SSERAFIM. I can assure PD will enjoy the listening party with a lot of feelings and emotions!!! Thank you for always reacting in a healing way, and take time as much as you need to have a hiatus. 🍀

[@duszhduszh]

Thank you for all your content over the years. Take care and enjoy your haitus. :) This mv is such a masterpiece. We might be used to hype being extra but this is a whole new level. The whole package really is a perfect next project following antifragile and such a testiment to their growth as idols and as a group and Kkuras rap in the second verse is killing me every damn time. And the way Nile Rodgers adds to this song is insane!
