first rain

I was asked this question a few days ago.

"Which video is your favourite k-music music video?"

I had three videos in mind and I could not make myself choose between the three since it's all that good. Two of the videos are from the same singer, who I extremely adore and the third is from a band I love since I don't even know when. Alright let me explain one by one. :)

First off, First Rain by TRAX.

I don't even know where to begin, this music video is just amazing to watch. There's no subbed version of this but you can pretty much get the gist of it.



There is three different version according to SMent plus one teaser but I suggest you to watch the full version. I have so many reasons as to why I chose this video in the first place but let's just keep the reasons brief. One, Jungwoo. One word explains everything, Jungwoo acts amazing in this video. Keep in mind, Jungwoo is usually very quiet and subtle in real life plus he's really a dork. So, when this video came out with Jungwoo acting all gangster, I was speechless and impressed, this boy really know how to act. He's also a great bassist so that is a plus, it's really a shame that he withdrew from the band but hey, as long as he is happy but if he is not, he better comeback.

Anyways, you should see for yourself, Jungwoo is really amazing in this. Second, Jungmo's cameo. Jungmo said it himself, "The point of this music video is to find me." He only has 15 seconds in this video but hey, he did well and everyone obviously thinks it's cute of him to be excited about his two lines. It's not really that hard to find him in the video and he was superbly cute. Third, Jay. With Lina of CSJH! This pairing is so amazing, I thought Jay wouldn't be able to pull this off since he is really, well, serious? Haha. Anyway, this pairing is just amazing. Lastly, the storyline. I'm not even sure if there was this type of video before them but so I'm not sure. But, I think it was the first for SMent. I think this was the first SMent video which featured a story and it's amazing. Basically, Jungwoo, Jay and Lina are friends but when Jungwoo starts feeling abandoned and jealous of Jay and Lina's relationship, he betrayed them by going over to another gangster but then I personally think there is this inside thing like Jungwoo going over that side for the sake of Jay and Lina. Haha. I really did my observation for this but I don't know, maybe he's just doing it for the money. But honestly, this video is just amazing and of course, the song and album is also amazing.

The second music video is Lee Seung Gi's When A Man Loves A Woman (Album's Music Video) The music video has three parts and it's comprises of songs from Lee Seung Gi Special Remake Album.



Reasons? Well, I really like Seung Gi and his voice. I believe this was his very first music drama. His previous music video before this was still 6 minutes long but I think this was his very first movie like music video. And it's really heartbreaking. Seung Gi is just too amazing for words. He's a well rounded entertainer and he works real hard. I really like this music video because of Seung Gi himself and the story line. There is an english subbed version in youtube but I'm just too tired to find it. But if you watch this video, I'm telling you it's worthed. And this album is just good. He remade songs from his seniors and he remade them well. I don't know why but I'm always bias when it involves him. I personally think he has one of the best voice in the K-Music industry. He trained well with his senior and this music video is just great. One, Seung Gi's acting, Two, Storyline; it's just so heartbreaking.


The third music video is Lee Seung Gi's White Lie. This music video just shows a different kind of Seung Gi.





He is really amazing in this. I think this was the start of really mature Seung Gi. But then, he had always been mature and that was one of the reasons why he is loved and why I love him. This music video touches story about the Japanese Occupation and well, I think if you watch this music video, you would really understand why I love the video. I don't know why but I liked it. I personally think, Seung Gi's song and voice plays a big part in why I always love his music videos. I mean, I have to admit from Because You're My Woman to Words That Are Hard to Say to Let's Break Up, I never did not like his music video. I love all of his videos to bit but this two videos is really at the top of my list.
