Kpop: Exid - Hot Pink (핫핑크)

Exid's Hot Pink video seems to oscillate between sexy and horror-ish, and one can't help wonder what "pink oil" is supposed to be...is it supposed to be blood but pink is used to make it less scary? But the song is still OK, even though it kind of goes in circles. I'll be honest and say that both this and Ah Yeah from earlier this year both tries to substitute quality with attitude but it means that the music doesn't manage as well when on its own. In that sense "Every Night" from 2012 is still my favorite.

Kpop: EXID - Oh Yeah (아예)

Like. Like not. Like. Like not. That's my story with EXID's latest song "Ah Yeah". The song is both very interesting and catchy but it sometimes feels to much, like the structure of the song is somewhat too tense, too intense. To be fair, this is part of a distinct style of the group, see also the similar "Up & Down". The video is also a bit dualistic as it is somehow both cute and at the same time plays on x-rated themes.
