Han Geng 'Clown Mask'

This has to be one of the best MV's like ever. 
I don't understand Mandarin Chinese but I understood what was going on in the MV without the aid of  English subtitles; that is something I treasure. However, that doesn't mean I wouldn't like an English translation. I was so grateful that the translation was there with the video so I didn't have to go scour the Internet trying to find a translation. The lyrics were poetic and symbolic; such deep meaning.

There was so much symbolism going on in this MV, when I was watching it trying to piece things together it was like being back in English class and I had to figure out what a certain piece of poetry was saying.
I really respect Han Geng. To see what he went through and where he is today is moving for me. He puts so much of his personal experience and feelings into his music that we don't see a whole lot of in k-pop, but I crave that. The only group that I can think of off the top of my head who managed to put their personal experiences in their music is BIGBANG especially with their latest album Still Alive.

I can't help but point out that this MV was released on the same day as Super Junior's "Sexy, Free, & Single." That really got the gears turning in my head.

Putting that little bit of info aside, this was an amazing song and an amazing music video. This makes me really look forward to what he has next in store for us.
