KWON EUNBI has been trending lately due to her stage presence at the recent Water Bomb Festivals. And her comeback today is timely to ride on this wave of new found popularity. Her new single is titled The Flash and forms part of her first single album of the same name. We last saw KWON EUNBI via her Underwater era from October of last year – a comeback from the soloist that I have yet to review.

The teaser for this comeback (which felt unexpected when it appeared on my subscription lists, as I hadn’t read any news about her comeback prior to the release of the teaser) pretty much got me on board with this comeback, and I can safely say that The Flash in its entirety did not disappoint. The Flash is a super upbeat pop dance track that catches on within a few listens. The electronic synths create a very dynamic atmosphere and I feel both KWON EUNBI’s vocals and The Flash‘s melodies build on this dynamic nature to create an exciting song. In amongst the electronic synths are some well selected synth details that adds flair and style to the song, which creates further excitement and dynamism in the song. The best part of The Flash comes as the song launches into the final chorus from the bridge. I feel like the impact here makes the ending of The Flash more satisfying to listen to. The only thing that comes to mind that could potentially make The Flash even better would probably be a sharper instrumental. But the lack of that strikingness doesn’t break the song for me whatsoever and I like The Flash very much the way it is presented to us now.

The music video has a balance mix of choreography shots and close-ups of KWON EUNBI. She is super stunning in this video, and I liked that they highlight both the dance aspect and her visuals. I also like how KWON EUNBI breaks the fourth wall during the choreography of the first chorus. If I had one request, it was for the video to explore more of the close-ups, particularly with the backstage shots of KWON EUNBI in the makeup chair. The sets also look stylish and beautiful, as well.

I really like the presence of the ribbons at the start and during the bridge segment of the routine. They add nice visual aspect to the choreography, but also boasts a level of complexity that looks impressive. I am also a fan of the routine in the second half of the chorus, which looks effortlessly sexy.
