I also loved the part where Karina is devoured by a red cloud while she was sitting on a throne. There was one angle, though, that felt weird, and I was grateful that they were wearing tights. The camera work was also quite awesome, especially with the low angle shots during the choreography, adding a visual impact to the routine, without putting the girls in an unflattering light. The part where the snake passes by the train, creating the illusion that the train was moving was pretty darn cool. The “black mamba” especially was carefully animated, and I was most impressed by the detailing on it’s skin. The graphics, editing, set design are all pretty top notch.
SM definitely spent money on this MV, that one can tell.
Also, Ningning is the only one who seemed to have a little different style from the rest - hers being more street, while others were more shapely. I don’t know if it was screen time, line distribution or something else, but they definitely had a stronger impact on me.
I would like to point out though that Karina and NingNing were the only ones who left a distinct impression on me. The girls look great, they seem confident, they’re hot, their outfits, makeup & hair, everything on point. SM’s new, much anticipated rookie group Aespa just dropped their first music video.
