Apink Comeback, Hello Venus Debut, and Super Junior 'Opera'

Let's start with Apink.They made their comeback with 'Hush' which was posted online by CJ E&M Music on May 8th.  Let me first say I am a Pink Panda who really disliked the teaser for this video but was singing along to this song by the 2nd listen. I loved just about every bit of this comeback.
The song was catchy, fun,sweet, flirty, cute. Loved it.
The way they pronounce "hush" reminds me of the Hindi word ''kush" meaning '"happy"( I used to watch a lot of Bollywood films). When I first watched the video it bothered me how they said it, but now it's not that big of a deal to me. But it is the title of their song so I have to note this mistake.
There were 3 sets in this video all of which fit together. The colors were consistent thorough this video. We see the pink in every set and the lights are bright and give off a cheerful feel.There's almost a party-like feel to the video (or maybe it was just the disco balls). There was no major jump in sets like we see in B1A4's  'Baby I'm Sorry'.
The dance was cute and flirty. I really like the whole hand flip thing they did at 2:54.It fit the song very well.
The wardrobe was, again, cute. I really liked all the dresses they had on during their single member shots. All had a sort of mature look to them. The outfits they had on at 2:43 were playful and bright.
I am really happy they decided to stick with the cutesy image for their comeback. That's what made me a fan of Apink.
They said "shh" in the video which reminded me of when JR said it in 'Face'. Maybe if he said it like Apink did they wouldn't have had such confusion and chaos over their debut song. just saying. I am still a TRU'EST.


Hello Venus debuted with the song 'Venus'which was posted by the group's official YouTube channel on May 8th. I think a good number of us saw this coming. Pledis releasing a girl-group after NU'EST I just didn't think it would be so soon.
The song was catchy. The first time I listened to it I didn't really care for it but by the 3rd time i watched the video I was singing along and trying (but failing) to copy the dance moves. I think I make a fool of myself every time I try to copy a group's dance. Sigh.
 In my opinion the dance was girly yet sassy.the set where the dancing took place looked like it had really bright lighting, but later I discovered it was because of the white backdrop.
Ok, I'll admit it, at first I wasn't really paying attention to the video but when I saw the extras-only the extras-from NU'EST's debut video I sat right up and gave this video my undivided attention. I feel bad that the extras had to come up in order for me to concentrate on the video. Once I saw the actual NU'EST members, that was it, I was just fangirling over NU'EST. I wasn't even paying attention to the video anymore, even though I tried really hard to.
There was a lot of ageyo going on in this video. I liked to plot they had going on. Thought it was kinda cute. The way the set is laid out has been seen in multiple k-pop videos like, 5Dolls 'Like this or That' (or like the last 3 Girls' Day MVs) Still, I like it.
In the end I really liked this group. There was this sass about them that I saw while they still managed to be cute. Pledis did a good job with NU'EST so expecting that they do an even better job with Hello Venus. Having said that I'll probably be falling all over this group within the next 24 hours and scrambling to find out any and all info on them.


Super Junior Opera. OK, when I first heard this song I heard it in Korean. I really liked it and was anticipating the MV for it .When I found out it was released as a Japanese single I was the tiniest bit disappointed.That's OK because the song sounds just as cool in Japanese, but I hope they release a Korean version too. Let's not get our hopes up.
Out of all the MVs that are just  SuJu dancing (see Mr.Simple or A-cha) I like 'Opera' the best.
I thought the concept came thorough in this MV (or in this case PV). 
In a nutshell, operas consist of flamboyant costumes and singing in a foreign language (usually Latin or Italian) and of course a plot-line (love and loss is a common one). In this case we have no plot-line but the other elements are there. The costumes consisting of capes and the foreign language being Japanese.
I absolutely love the outfits during the first dance sequence(as well as the set) and during the single-member shots. I just about lost it when Leeteuk flipped his cape out, replayed that like 5 times.I also loved the masks they had.
I see that SM wanted to give SuJu superpowers too. At 0:17, now Siwon is able to light up 9 candles with one look. Ooh, he's good.
Now they can teleport too at 1:32-1:56. Have they, just like EXO, been banned from their home-planet?
I have one complaint though. I really didn't like the set for the 2nd dance sequence. i thought it was too much of a jump from the lavish set we had a few second ago. BTW if you really look at this set it looks like someone burned down the lavish one, it looks destroyed. I wonder if this is intentional. I'm thinking it probably is.
Eunhyuk isn't my bias but I went crazy for his part. Moving his fingers and controlling the other members. His outfit made him look mysterious and powerful.I'm not a fan of jewels or paint on any k-pop person's face but the tear-shaped thing(can't think of a better word) looked sooo good. 
Overall loved this dance and song.
