[MV-RANT] 7 Creepy/Scary Kpop MVs - Part 2

Kpop might be generally known for its bubbly songs and cute music videos but that doesn’t mean that they don’t like to scare their fans sometimes. Here is part 2 of my list of scary MVs. Enjoy!

SG Wannabe - Lalala


Let’s start off the list with the scariest MV. Well actually, it's in 2 parts. The first part is by M to M and the second part is by SG Wannabe. This looks like it’s taken straight out of a Korean Horror film. What starts off as a cute love story [even making you laugh at the girl's clumsiness] turns into a bloody mess, quite literally if you ask me. The end of the MV contradicts the lyrics of the song [which sure shows just how scary love can be].

Wonder Girls/Fin K.L. - Now


You can watch either version because they’re both almost the same. Again, this doesn’t really fall into the scary category as much as it does in the creepy category. This is again about girls stalking a guy and he’s just as freaked out as I am.

Tablo - Bad
The dark setting and the violent love scenes are what intimidate me in this MV. The song itself, I love, and I also think the MV matches it well since most people have to go through pain and suffering when it comes to love. Moral of the story:Love is bad.
Kan Mi Yeon - Crazy
This MV is just plain creepy, like Epik High’s fan from the previous list. Another music video about a crazy girl keeping a guy locked up against his will. Again, I have no idea what he did to her but judging from the lyrics, maybe he drove her insane.
G-Dragon - She’s Gone
Now this is a thriller MV. No matter how crazy I am about G-Dragon, I would still run from him if I was the girl. And the lack of color makes it more scary, no? Not to mention, when she was running away from him, it reminded me of the maze scene from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Why is it that she can’t escape from him when she’s running and he’s walking?
Brown Eyed Girls - Cleansing Cream
This MV is more on the scary, sad story side. The scary part is that you fear what’s going to happen at the end. I guess it’s more on the sad side because the older sister misunderstands the younger one of trying to seduce her husband.
Epik High - Don’t Hate Me
This music video is not necessarily scary but since it’s in the format of a horror film, I couldn’t leave it out of the list. I love that they dressed the cute little kids up as villains because I think the MV matches the lyrics of the song perfectly. This just in, G-Dragon and Lady Gaga are well-known villains! [From the She's Gone MV, I'd say yeah GD qualifies]
What other MVs belong on this list?

[RR] What Tablo Does When He's Bored

Some might be curious as to what celebrities do when they’re bored [that is, when they have time to be bored]. Well, Tablo writes some raps, freestyle, on the spot. Back in 2009, through mapthesoul’s youtube account, a video of him rapping about fanclubs was uploaded. I thought it was just too epik to not share.


What can keep our music world alive is FAN.
I’ve always loved M-U-S-I-C, music is my heart’s VIP [Big Bang].
A music sheet is like the galaxy’s Cassiopeia [DBSK].
My dream is high but reality is still a basement floor
Floating in my head like a GURUM [Rain -aka clouds], rhyme and my flow.
As long as there’s an ear listening, right away, SHINHWACHANGJO [Shinhwa - aka creating a legend].
Music is like ELF[Super Junior], everlasting existence but we need your help.
We need the strength of fans, a more plentiful music world is my SONE [SNSD - aka wish].
Let’s all join together, a new challenge.
If there is music, life is WONDERFUL [Wonder Girls],
Peace & Love to HighSkool [Epik High]
This just made me so proud to be a fan of his. I know Tablo is really talented but he never fails to amaze me with his creativity. Check out all of the videos under mapthesoul, and trust me you will be happy you did. Just gonna share another one of my favorite below. 

[MV-RANT] 7 Creepy/Scary Kpop MVs - Part 1

Kpop might be generally known for its bubbly songs and cute music videos but that doesn’t mean that they don’t like to scare their fans sometimes. Here are a couple of scary MVs.


Jay Park - New Breed

First on the list, we have Jay Park’s New Breed which was released just this August. The mv itself is not as scary as the heavy make-up on Jay’s face.



IU - MIA

Next up, we have IU’s MIA, also known as Missing Child, which I believe is IU's debut track. This mv is very artistic but it really reminds me of a horror movie where everything just reaches out and grabs your legs. When IU’s good friend Cheondeung from MBLAQ appears, it becomes a little less tense.



Sunny Hill - Pray

And how can I leave out one of many unique music videos from Sunny Hill? Sunny Hill’s Pray exudes a creepy factor in that it involves an alienated creature, or maybe a genetically altered human. And the slow melody of the songs adds to the anticipation of horror, although the main story line is a bit sad.



Taeyang - I'll Be There

This next music video is really like a scary vampire-warewolf movie. The odd sounds in the beginning and the black-and-white format really take you into another world. The graveyard and more people who latch onto your legs just make this the creepiest mv on the list. I don’t watch Taeyang’s I’ll Be There that often because it’s too intimidating for me.



Hyori - Swing

Number 5 on the list is the MV for Lee Hyori’s song Swing featuring Leessang. Now the idea of clowns being creepy may have become cliche but they still freak some people out. The gloomy weather and the bare setting on top of the slow tune give more effect to the purpose of the video.



2NE1 - It Hurts

Despite being a beautiful song, 2NE1’s music video for It Hurts still creeps me out a little. The whole music video seems like it’s Halloween themed.



Epik High - Fan


And last up on the list is Epik High’s Fan, in honor of their comeback. This music video has to be the creepiest one I have seen to this day. I mean, the girl puts the guy in a washing machine for crying out loud! And then, she attaches him to rocket. Poor guy. I wonder what he did to her.
Do you agree with the list?
