B1A4 - What's Going On MV

Their new music video is out! And I have to say that it seems like it's only something that B1A4 would be able to pull off. And so, here are my thoughts about the music video. If you haven't seen it, watch it here. I would embed it, but youtube isn't letting me right now :(

 

 

While watching it, there's so much going on...like I mean...seriously. It's so entertaining. I liked how they were in the boxes and how there were some shots that zoomed out to show the boxes. When I first watched it, they kind of reminded me of Miss A's 'Breathe' because they had the same sort of thing, but honestly, I liked B1A4's use of them better since Miss A was simply dancing in them. For B1A4's video, there was a different sort of thing in each. The girl's house was in one, their heads were on the top row, and then a whole bunch of other rooms that were used to try to know what the girl was doing in the other room.

 

I mean, CNU has one of those things, in one scene, where he's attempting to listen through the wall and Gongchan gets one of those things that they use for television shows to pick up the actor's voice.

 

I also liked how they incorporated the sentences into it. Like when Baro asks who the person is, there's a scene of him in the elevator with him, which is a hilarious scene. Another funny one is when the 'boyfriend' of the girl begins boarding up the doors so B1A4 doesn't come in...which they eventually ninja kick in. And my personal favorite is when Sandeul is singing the line "Baby I want you beautiful." It's when his head is in the box and he's simply singing and staring at a cracker. He could care less about getting the girl, he only wants the cracker.

 

Then in the end it's simply like they don't even care anymore and they have a pillow fight, because I mean, they eliminated the competition, so what does it matter?

 

Actually, there was kind of no lead for this music video, although I think that it was indirectly Baro or Jinyoung since they're the only two that really do anything with the girl and her 'boyfriend.' Jinyoung is the one that talks to her over the phone while Baro is the one that meets her boyfriend in the elevator. Even though they could all be going after the same girl, it just seems like CNU, Sandeul, and Gongchan are just there helping, like in the end of 'Only Learned the Bad Things' or like 'Baby Goodnight [Japanese]' where they're just helping Baro.

 

Also, their dance. I cannot wait to see their dance in full. The way that they did the dance scenes in the music video was a bit awkward at first, but then I got it, the ones during Baro's rap in the beginning. It looks like they sort of did a 'stop-go' thing with the camera. That's probably not what you even call it, but like when you film one frame at a time and then put them together, that's what it looks like, or maybe it's because the scenes were switching by between members faster that it just made it look that way. I think that maybe they don't like to show their whole choreography in music videos anymore, they want you to be surprised, haha.

 

But from what I could see, it is a cool dance. It seems like their other dances, particularly Baby Goodnight or maybe even Tried to Walk too. It doesn't look that complicated, but there are actually many complicated parts to it because after all, in the music video, there was probably only like ten seconds of dancing and it was during the rap sequences and the chorus and then the stuff at the end. There's still over three minutes left of the song and left worth of dancing, haha.

 

I can only wonder what their comeback is going to be like on stage. They're singing 'Yesterday' and 'What's Going On.' I love both of the tracks and I can't wait!
