BM5's October 2020 Favorites

Favorite Title Track

Cool - Weki Meki

There's been soooooo many comebacks and debuts this month! It's been so hard to keep up. Yet even with some of the most important groups to me releasing music (Blackpink & Loona), my favorite title song has been "Cool" by Weki Meki. The swagger that they carry throughout, along with the choreography made me truly consider becoming a Ki-Ling. The beat is so infectious, the gang vocals make you sing along, and the raps just ride the rhythms with ease. In my favorites playlist are many variations of this song that I've enjoyed, so be prepared if you choose to watch the full list.

Favorite Movie Discussion

The Death of Comedy Movies - Nathan Zed

This video was in my recommend list for a little while, so when I finally gave it a click, I was pleasantly pleased. I also had to think about how I somewhat agree with his perspective. With the way movies are of late, it's becoming harder and harder to pinpoint comedy movies that are universally accepted as cultural classics. If anything, we find more comedic moments laced throughout our superhero films or sprinkled into our dramatic films. We have a much more aware society that unfortunately tends to play it a bit safer with our humor or just completely become entirely insensitive. The content above goes much more into detail if you are interested.

Favorite TV Show

How Do You Play (Refund Sisters Season)

As I slowly surround my free time into more and more Korean content, I have been enjoying this arc in the variety show "How Do You Play" with Yoo Jae Seok. To learn about some of the icons of past Kpop generations and see them work with some of today's current superstars has been fascinating. Lee Hyori wanted to create a project group with Uhm Jung Hwa, Jessi, & Hwasa and this season, it became a reality. Watching the relationships between them all grow, as well as the other stars that are recruited in this side project, are so hilarious and heartwarming. Truly, I've enjoyed being able to watch this journey to build their team dynamic and make a dope single, "Don't Touch Me". Check out these powerful women, if you're into a good time!

Favorite Live Performance

Moonchild Experience - NIKI

This was a hard choice, because as I said before, there's been a lot of music to come out this month. This includes live performances and concerts, like a Loona concert, K:Contact, Joji, and more. Yet, I was really looking forward to seeing how Moonchild would be like live. Obviously, it was still a virtual concert, but the work put into the album's concept being brought to life on stage was a treat. The only gripe I have with the experience as a whole is the fact that the best song, "Selene", was the only song to be shortened in the setlist. WHAT'S UP WITH THAT!? Haha. Hope you still enjoy it as much as I did.
