Week 7: Kpop

Hey guys! Just a couple more weeks to this semester and we're done!

Since I have been going back to all my old playlists recently, I thought I'd do another oldie. Although I only listen to my old playlists every once in a while, I actually prefer some of the older songs over the new ones being released now. In any case, the song I chose this week is: Mirotic (주문) by TVXQ.

TVXQ aka DBSK was and still is a popular boy band, both in South Korea and Japan. However, the members have since split into two separate groups, TVXQ and JYJ. Some of the members have also done solo work on the side (not sure if JYJ is still together).

Mirotic, which came out in 2009, is about a guy who gets a girl under a "spell"/ in love with him. In the beginning of the song, the girl is innocent and sweet but, she soon gets caught up in the love and seems to fall head over heels for the guy. This song isn't a sappy love story like many songs I know, it seems a little more rigid and, in a way, rough. The lyrics also ask and attempt to reassure the guy who's casting this "spell" if what he's doing is still considered love.

Although this song was quite different from what I was used to listening to back then, and even now, I found it very catchy. Something about the beat and the way the guys sing just pulls me in and gets me under their spell haha.

I also liked watching the music video for this song. At the start, it seems like the girl is about to lure the guy in and trap him, but the guy's strength allows him to overpower her so called "spell" and ends up catching her under his own spell.

As always, I hope you guys enjoy! See ya next week~
