Kpop: Nu'est - Overcome (여왕의 기사)

The 4th album is coming up for the boys of Nu'est, and beyond a nice track and suitably dramatic video, again I think Ren is in focus for his femine looks. For me he looks like some of the idealised knight images from the romantic era in art, and very much suitable in this setting. At the point of the woman (a Pledis trainee btw) being introduced in the video, I feel a reading of the video as a part of a transgender debate wouldn't be fully wrong, somehow.

Nu'est returns with new single "Hello", a quite mature video.

Kpop: Nu'est (뉴이스트)

Kpop boyband Nu'est, whose acronym comes from the rather unwieldy "New Established Style and Tempo" (yes, typical kpop nerdiness...), consists of members starting of as backup dancers, a rather common phenomena in pop music in other parts of the world too.
