It’s such a heartwarming song. I mean, it should be. Then… Why do I burst into tears everytime I watch this MV? I don’t really know. No logic. No future for me.
Just understand my sacrifice and passion.

I don’t have a typical Christmas celebration this year, anyway, I am very touched by this MV and I feel so nostalgic!!!
Do you remember a legend about Romulus and Remus? They were thought to be twin founders of Rome. Two little boys were to be sunk in a cold river. But fortunately, a basket carrying them down didn’t sink and they survived. They lived fed by a female wolf. Miss She-Wolf became sort of a mother for twins. She cared for them, gave them milk. She was one of the first that had contact with children.
Kids raised by animals?
WTF, you would say.
What about guys raised by animals?
Yes, if you’re a girl you have probably thought about it many times. “Oh, they can’t be human, they don’t have a heart, they only have instinct”, etc.
Maybe every guy has a beast under his skin…
But I would like to change a topic somehow. Because… Miss She-Wolf wasn’t really a beast since she was so caring and protective. That is why I think she should be considered in a most attractive way that is possible. You know, without her there wouldn’t be any places like Rome; without Rome, we would be raised in slightly different cultures, etc.
Don’t you think that saving No Min Woo is quite as important as saving Remus or Romulus?!
YES, WE DO. <fangirls’ scream>
And the situation is kinda similar in a way. Of course, we live in a 21st century and now we don’t put babies in a basket to kill them. Nowadays, if you need a tragedy, you also need a plane. Rivers are lame. You need a certain amount of air, a terrible weather, an attractive pilot, and, finally…. BOOM! BOOM!
The plane is down and the attractive pilot falls from heaven waiting for a She-Wolf to save him and feed him good things.
But if you have such a good face as No Min Woo has, the situation can actually get complicated. Children mean responsibility so there won’t be many volunteers. In the same time, good guys mean pleasure, that’s why the number of volunteers is… SEVEN!
But instead of fighting for a man from heaven, cutting one another’s hair or beating and spitting, the girls of T-Ara tie… No Min Woo!
Seeing seven goddesses the pilot should have had good thoughts, ekhm, okay, FANTASIES. But girls’ fantasy is even better. They tie him to a stilt and make him miserable. Yes. Even though they’re so attractive…. Ok, lame, but a hungry man is a sad man. How would he have enough strength to do something about T-ara’s girls? The only gave him one bar of chocolate, I think, where is the meat?! You, girls, thought, that you got an easy supper for yourselves but you forgot that raising a guy is even more difficult that raising a baby. It doesn’t matter that you comb his hair or give him a pillow. It’s really nothing that your legs are slender and your dance is sooo cute! No Min Woo doesn’t need a feather. He needs a chicken. Just like Remus and Romulus needed milk.
One tip for all of us.
Don’t just run around a guy you desire. There must always be something more to it.
Every girl can have her own Rome and her own Romulus.
I have never seen such a bright, powerful and optimistic video. This one shows how to love the entire world and feel satisfied with everything you have. How to find good colors of each and every situation. How to smile, when your mouth is in pain. And it’s so simple!
Dalmatian are happy with both- when you get licked by a woman and when you get licked by a dog. When your T-shirt is too loose (like Jisu’s) and when you get brand new white trainers. When your car opens its door automatically and when you go to school on foot. And the best is this carefree life, when you can meet your dudes and bowwowwow together wearing cheap clothes. It doesn’t even matter anymore if the alcohol is expensive. You can just bowwowwow without.
Dalmatian in this video are actually only rising stars. But they still shine with their happy-go-lucky smiles and their charisma. Maybe they have only one fangirl, but a really crazy one. She guarantees a service with licking, hugging and kissing. Is it a dream? Will an alarm clock ring? Find an answer in a video!
Maybe these boys seem so bright and innocent, but I can find some details that make me think deeper. We can see some silver chains. And even a plate. I have thought: “Maybe these boys were released from prison?”. You would suppose such people to be ugly, messy and hostile. But we don’t know how prisons work in Korea. Maybe they have the best psychologists in the world that help criminals and delinquents find a new way in life? They make them feel better and become better people? Maybe that’s the reason for these smiles. Jisu is even wearing a cross. Does faith really help?
Surely it’s so easy to imagine Dari as a shoplifter or Inati as an underground fighter.
Then… why dogs?
Because they’re calm, warm friendly, loving…
They don’t cheat…
Is dogotherapy used in Korean prison? I believe it is! And it works! Real miracles.
What is more, a dog wags its tail, barks, whines, shows its teeth. Quite a variety of styles!
But still, why Dalmatian?
Because it’s black and white, I suppose. This shows a long way from being black and dark criminals to being white and optimistic fellows. It’s filled with meaning. And it gives this special allure of the band.
Their smiles make you overlook the fact that they use a very expensive (and very CLEAN) car, that they are almost breaking Jisu’s ribs while catching him, that they’ve bought their bookshelf in IKEA. Maybe you’ll see Inati’s muscles. But nothing more.
To sum up: if you ever feel like throwing up your whole life, play this video and smile, jump like crazy and lick the most attractive boy in the area (if you feel like doing this). You can also wear a colorful cap (not to hear complaints) or a T-shirt with stars (to shine more and more) for a better effect. Inati can smile even being on probation. Can’t you just do the same? ;)
If I were one of those romantic and sentimental girls, my thoughts wouldn’t be so catastrophic. But I am not. When a bow meets a gun, Robin Hood (Hoot) dies totally shot.
Fortunately, our clumsy James Bond can’t even find a way to get Robin Hood. He is completely lost. That’s my only explanation, why SNSD still dance so brightly. If Siwon had found them, they would only have been able to pretend to hold an invisible weapon in their hands. Would they shoo-shoo-shoot him?
Not really.
One could say, they don’t need any weapon. They are young, attractive and sexy. Why would James Bond kill them? It would be better if he took them hostage, created some kind of harem and went on to leaving a great life. Nothing more stupid. Siwon is a CATHOLIC! He wouldn’t do such a cruel and sinful thing.
SNSD must not be very confident in one particular way, because they decided to create different sub-units in their band. We can see a lot of cute agents. Latex Lara Croft, Old Russian Army Maknae, Cowgirls, Cosmic Intruders and… I even thought of Judy Jetson for a while (maybe I’m too nostalgic).
There’s another thing I want to mention. SNSD don’t really feel the tension. They dance and play calmly, smile a lot and you’d rather prefer eating this sweet candy to killing. Why bothering yourself with blood, with cleaning, with the police? Nothing is worth it. And SNSD seem rather like throwing a party. Do people look like this in front of death? Are they so relaxed when James Bond is few metres away?
Once upon a time, there lived a princess in a scarry tower made of glass. The glass was a strange barrier. It was a border that 7 rookies from a band called Touch couldn’t really cross. Maybe they had met a wizard, a witch or someone had just bribed them. Maybe they are seven good-hearted dwarves? Anyway, they are fighting so hard to find a way out for a sad princess that I can’t help but write about their methods.
The recipe seems to be simple. Take a pinch of Beast’s, ZE:A’s, SHINee’s, F.Cuz’s and 2PM’s energy! Ohh, well, maybe you actually need a fistful of Beast, since the beginning of the choreography seems very much like their teaser. When in the supermarket, consider also buying a whole box of ZE:A, especially if you care about the sound. The song must be perfectly copied. Then you add different elements… for the song to be Original.
What can you do?
Don’t know.
Think quickly.
Because you have to hurry up!
The clocks are crazily shouting: “Tic toc, tic toc” from the very start. Even the light makes you motivated, since it’s so irritating, that you want to get up and leave. Maybe you can rescue a princess just incidentally?
And, what is the most important, the princess cries so hard in her tower that I would definitely either kill her or rescue. But I would need a big compensation.
Let’s find a way out as soon as we can!
We can try dying our hair pink. Maybe your grandma would complain, that you have always laughed at all the pink pullovers she knitted for you and now you have this sweet and pretty colour on you own head. You’ve matured a lot.
We can find inspiration in the West- find a bath, lie in it and fake Lady Gaga. Something seems suspicious? Oh, well, yeah! You’re a boy! But you’re also KOREAN!
Another way is creating a mosaic of photographs on your floor. It doesn’t matter what there is in the picture. The only important thing is you, lying in the middle and raising your hand with g r a c e. Sex-appeal is the best method, when we don’t have anything left.
But I also smell a good job concerning Touch’s outfits. Well, guys, you try so hard! You must have killed your cat to get a furry jacket. You must have caught a bat, because if I am wrong, then what the hell are those wings? The most difficult task was, however, stealing a headband from Nichkhun. Currently it’s 2PM who is the most into fitness and I wouldn’t ever dare to steal anything from people with such a black and ghostly make-up.
The end of the story isn’t very happy. I mean, for the princess. I guess, dwarves love diamonds more than women. And maybe Touch was also so flustered with the vision of their own MV, with their own bodies dancing and flowing, with their brand new trainers on-that they decided to give up the girl, let her cry alone and just stay in a place with the best light themselves.
Everywhere you can find 2PM now. They are winning a lot of awards, they are taking a lot of selfcams. No wonder. They are 100% idols. They are all considered manly and talented. Their popularity isn’t just a miracle, they’ve worked really hard.
But there’s another side to that. There are others in the shadow that help 2PM grow and develop. Always underrated and underestimated. Today we have a chance to meet one of them.
Cow: Thanks for the introduction and hello, everyone.
Reporter: Hello, nice to see you here. So you say 2PM shares the success with you?
Cow: Of course they do! Without my help, they would show nothing. I mean it.
Reporter: But when did it start? And how?
Cow: Do you know the show “We Got Married?”. Nichkhun and Victoria participate in it. Once they went on a trip and they visited my village. Khun was quite bored at night and he desperately looked for friends. These is how we met.
Reporter: You became close friends?
Cow: Not really. But my brain works fast, so I threatened him a little with what I had recorded. And this is how JYP hired me.
Reporter: Really? So what tasks did you get?
Cow: Ohhhh… In the beginning, I was just providing milk. It was sooo boring. But then I lost this position, because even Chansung was made to go on a diet. They said my milk was too fat. These words were even too harsh.
Reporter: Did you manage to forgive them?
Cow: I don’t know… But I knew I had to work hard.
Reporter: So what was your work?
Cow: I became their personal stylist.
Reporter: You can do that?!
Cow: It’s not that hard! I take care of their hair and some outfits too.
Reporter: So did you invent the concept of Taec’s new hair? Everyone keeps talking about it!
Cow: No, because I had too much work licking Chansung’s hair. I think my concept was better.what how about the choreography?
Cow: Ohhh, in my village we have a dancing course, so it was not a problem for me. I can even prove it to you.
Reporter: I’m impressed.
Cow: And I used the rights of nature to complete my choreography. The steps 2PM dances are the same I use when going to the field. You know, walking, jumping...
Reporter: And the robo-dance?
Cow: They gained some strength during the harvest season in my village. That’s why they were able to complete everything successfully.
Reporter: And this fitness concept? What about that?
Cow: I wanted them to wear leather, JYP wanted something more athletic. Anyway, I think we found a compromise.
Reporter: I must agree. But tell me… Why was 2PM so sad in the beginning of the video?
Cow: Because they needed good fluids and they lacked them! Then I recharged them a little!
Reporter: HOW?
Cow: I am not allowed to say.
Reporter: Okay, okay. So the last question: who would you to live with in the countryside?
Cow: Eeeemmm… *embarrassed* Wooyoung-ah, I think. But Khun would change me into a beef.
To me, the song is a typical example of weltschmerz. Maybe you could say that I’m over- and misinterpreting, however U-KISS is an international group so it’s quite obvious they are likely to use even European motives. I am very proud to say, that their youth and innocence match the concept well.
The first voice we can hear in the MV is Kevin’s one. He was so young then and he looked so miserable with his black-haired image. I think he hurt a lot during that times. It appears to me that just after leaving his mother at home (alone, only with a fan), he rushes to find a whole new world he could accept.
Fortunately, he meets Eli. Eli is furious, always being treated like a kid. He just can’t listen to words like “You’re young”. Eli understands the world, he’s “ready for romance” and that is why I’m even happier that it started for him with Kevin Woo. For him, Kevin is desperate to pass the white fence of his childhood.
Some say that the crisis of adolescence is really visible at Alexander’s hair. WHAT THE HELL? I have even more curly hair and you must get to know THIS- curlies don’t really grow fast. Maybe that is the reason why Xander is still so aegyo.
The next thing is the connection between Kibum and Dongho. I won’t tell if I like the pairing or not (or maybe I should, since I know a person that suits Dongho better and I owe her sooo much). They’re quite manly for a Korean boysband since they’re playing basketball. But something seems wrong. Their youth must definitely be full of trauma, since the rain falls even in the building they are at. Or maybe their agency didn’t manage to mend the roof to their debut?
Yes, life is pain and “why does it always rain on me?”
The next sad thing about this MV is the fact that there’s only one girl. The only attractive thing about her is the length of her white shorts, but anyway, Soohyun’s one glimpse and he’s like: “You’re gonna be my lady!” with even more dramatic and emotional “Yooohoo!”. I am scared to ask about his intentions and instincts, but since he’s growing up… Okaaay.
Life is sooo troublesome, but HELL YEAH, we’re six cool boys so we have to find the way out of this shit.
Fortunately, to wash the pain away and relieve their frustration, they choose physical activities like… basketball and dancing. They’re still innocent- Kevin doesn’t read XXX magazines, Soohyun chooses dark glasses not to look at girls’ legs (or not to be seen doing that) and their union of hearts is so strong that they don’t even lock their lockers.
Even at the end of the MV we aren’t given an answer which path U-KISS really decided to take- bad boys, basketball players or cheerleaders… I just hope they don’t feel pain in their hearts, whatever they do.
