Once upon a time there lived a
wealthy man with five daughters. He trusted his daughters, and so he let them in charge of the house
when he went on a business trip. The daughters were bored, so they hosted a
party in their house. “Yay party tonight!” Typical American teenage story.
The daughters were bored, like dead
serious bored. Sohyun was so bored that she decided to fool around with house chores. Hyuna was so bored so she
decided to lean on the lamp post by the road side, mouth hanging open (must be distracted
by her own breasts). Gayoon was bored that she threw a tea party with her
servants before the real party began. But poor Jiyoon. She was bored too but
you basically couldn’t do anything much when you’re constipating. I just don’t
understand how with 4 bodyguards in the same toilet is going to help though.
They even squatted down which I assumed they were checking her shit. Like
seriously? Pooping when 4 men are watching you is so not cool. But she was
having such a hard time, that in 0.55 minute, she had to do that thing. Yes
that thing. What’s that thing called actually? I’m-a-banana-smoothie-so-I’m-gonna-shake-myself
shake? Ha ha ha. And finally it came down to Jihyun, the sweet naïve sugar
princess living in her own world. She looked like she was having a lot of fun
with herself though. Can’t put all the blame on her. Her sister was having a
tough time battling constipation and I bet she must be so depressed that she
needed sugar to calm her nerves. Note to 4Minute: There’s a lot of things to do
when you’re bored besides hanging out at the toilet. For instance, you can go
swimming. Swimming is fun! You get to try different stunts in the water, wear
really sexy swimsuits (which I believe Hyuna’s stylist has prepared a lot of these),
or drink the pool water. Just kidding. Note
to all fathers: you’ll never know what your daughters are going to do when you
leave the house to them.
I get that they are portraying the flashy
and trashy concept here. Korean Miley Cyrus, eh? Hitting the bodyguard’s
buttock, locking the bodyguard into a locker, peaking and laughing at the
bodyguards when they are peeing with the servants cheering on. I get the
message they’re trying to send here. People are going to judge how mean they
are in the MV but they have already defended themselves with Sohyun wearing the
strips with word UNUSUAL, which means they are not usually like that. Or maybe
they meant unusually mean which is they exceed the appropriate level. Either way
I hope the servants are not going to sue them for maid abuse.
I notice that 4Minute has been
asking a lot of questions that don’t make any sense. What’s Your Name? Is It
Popping? Now it’s Whatcha Doin’ Today? Why so many questions? Why, 4Minute,
why? I’m expecting the next song to be Why You No Answer My Questions?!.
I’m a bit confused with the first
few seconds of the MV where Hyuna catwalking and dancing like a stripper
onstage. The scene doesn’t get along with the overall MV. I know the producer
is saving some parts in the MV for Hyuna to show off her sexiness, but the
first few seconds are a bit too much. It’s like, okay 4Minute, leave all the
sexy part for Hyuna. The other 4Minute members were all dressing modestly to
cover up for Hyuna’s sexiness. It’s not Hyuna’s fault, it has something to do
with their entertainment company. When they show too much Hyuna in the MV, it
looks like a forced attempt to insert sexiness in the MV. ‘It’s Hyuna and Brave
sound’ should replace ‘it’s 4Minute and Brave sound’, because Hyuna kinda made
Brave sound sounds so much like her 4Minute members. It’s also a fragment of
What’s Your Name, and the tucking-your-hair-behind-your-ear part? I swear I have
seen it somewhere.
About the MV, I think
there are way too much lights. Too shiny. Even their outfits were so bright.
When there are too much lights, the colors fade into the background which is a
shame since there are actually different type of colors in the MV. 4Minute
makes it a habit that in every MV, they must be jumping joyfully at the end of
the MV. This is pretty immature for an old Kpop group. They put themselves in a
position with all the new girl groups mushrooming recently, with cheap and
empty MVs. 4Minute has their own style, they stick to it, but they are not
doing anything extra. I found Whatcha Doin’ MV plain and boring. It’s time to
add the boom effect, girls.
The song itself is not
bad, but I think it could be even better without so much rapping. The chorus
part is catchy, and you can’t stop yourself shrugging to the rhythm of the
chorus.
Sorry 4Minute, try
harder next time. And don’t ever rap in the toilet again please it’s too much for
the fans to handle.
