Kpop: Song Ji Eun - Bobby Doll (바비돌)

The theme of the latest video from Secret member Song Ji Eun is again somewhat dark, about sexuality and being in someone's control. The subject is often touch upon in kpop, from (mostly in) playful or lightly humorous ways down to (much more seldom) outright abuse (think Ga-In). The lyrics are somewhat ambigous, and visually "Bobby Doll" places itself somewhere in the middle to with it depicting a sexualized but dark dominance senario. Still, the general impression is one similar to "False Hope", which is a good thing.

Kpop: Song Ji Eun (송지은)

The main vocalist SOng Ji Eun from Secret has released the video "False Hope", which is a luxurious eye-candy. The song is well-designed but nothing beyond the ordinary for this kind of artist, but the video is, like Kara's latest number, just plain kpop gold to watch and enjoy for the moments it last. The theme is playing with and challenging the idea of her vulnarability in an obvious, but still sensual way.
