BESTie recently made their comeback with a brand new song, Thank You Very Much. It has been a couple of months after their promotions of their single Love Options which earned them more fans. And I need more help writing these introductions. Oh wait, what a surprising song title. Considering that I have hit 400 reviews. Well, to be precise, I went past 400 a week or two ago, I just forgot… Whoops. “Thank You Very Much”, just not in the context of the song. But seriously, thank you for your ongoing support. This stress and managing it relieves so much stress in my life. Thank you once again. But lets continue with this review!!!

This song, honestly, is quite a disappointment. There really is nothing there that I find amazing or actually anything that keeps me appealed to the song. I found it really boring and monotone in a way. Love Options has this really funky beat, but this song just had this kind of “meh” attitude to it. I don’t really like it that much. Though I have to admit, it is catchy, but it just does not sit well with me. The vocals and rapping in this song is so so and honestly, it is not the best song out there at all. Even, their debut song, which was a so so song sounded much more upbeat than this. This is just that really boring pop song you would hear once in a while on the streets, that no one pays attention to. This song talks about a breakup, but how it made the girl stronger. Great concept behind the song, just really boring way to show it.

The music video is also quite mute. Another “meh” type of attitude, which is basically going to lead everyone to not caring. I am a fan of these girls, but this comeback seemed so rushed. This music video just basically shows how the girls are enjoying their single life, particularly how one of them went through a break up recently. Okay, cool. But it was not great. And who goes out these days (unless you are riding a bike or motorcycle) with a helmet? Like seriously. And that car driving scene… That driver was seriously distracted for most of the trip. How on earth did they survive? Anyway, another complaint was the excessive amount of lights. To be precise, flashing lights. Boy was that distracting. But these was one thing I loved about the video and that was the arcade. It has been forever since I have been to one. I want to go!!!

The dance is okay. Nothing that major. The really high pitch “ow!” part was pretty cool and the start of the song rapping bit was pretty cool.

Not impressed overall. But it was okay. 4/10.

Once again THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Let’s try aiming for 500 reviews… Sometime at the end of the year or early next year I think. Too busy this year. Hahahaha…

BESTie is back after promotions for their debut song, with Love Options. It has been 5 months or so, from the top of my head since the band debuted and seriously, this band is becoming one of the best rookies of the year. On that note, though, welcome o the new look KPOPreviewed. Every year now, I have changed the layout and I thought this theme had a bit of brightness to it, whereas my past few themes and layouts did not, they were mainly dark. I also thought the home page looks awesome and puts all the feature images to work really well. So do you guys like it? Hahahaha…. But enough me, onto the review.

The song is really addictive. Like, as soon as I heard it, I literally fell in love with the song and had it stuck in head continuously. It has that modern yet retro feel and theme to it. It seems like something that would’ve come out in the 90’s but was upgraded for the 2010’s. I have to say, though, it is much better than their debut song. The chorus is really catchy, and also that “Do, do do~” part as well. Got that part stuck in my mind for a very long time. The raps in this song are really cool and the vocals were superb. The song itself seems to talk about how insecure a girl is about her love life. But still, a really good song.

To me, the music video is quite dull. Everything in the video fits the song lyrics perfectly, however, the video was not that appealing to me. I watched it for the song only I guess, not for the video itself. It lacks the energy that the song has and has carried throughout the whole song. The song has really cool elements to it. The song talks about a guy who has money and would the girls things. From what I see, the girls have what they want, the shoes, diamonds, fame but they seem to be bored of what they have. I think they realised that the guy they are with are not really perfect and start singing about their “ideal” guy, I also love the pop culture reference with the “Keep Calm” poster in one of the scenes. I also love the mock video with that guy from their debut video in there as the panda who goes crazy. I will link it in the playlist below for you guys. ^^

The dance is really amazing and I love every aspect of the dance. It is quite feminine for me, but it is still a great dance.

8.5/10. Really good comeback from such a rookie group. Thier performances have not been cut that much compared to other artists, which is a sign that they are being loved by fans.

A rookie group, BESTie, recently made their debut with their first single Pit-A-Pat. The group consists of three former members of EXID (who seemed to disappear off the face of earth) and a random new female trainee. They made their debut in July 2013. Apparently not many people believe this group has potential to be a good group. Yet am I the only person who was fully satisfied with this comeback? Yeah, sure, this is not the best song that I would love to listen to over and over again, but it was a really fun song to listen to. Also, the song title is meant to be the sound of the heart, which technically means thump thump when translated out to English. Yeah, I never get this song title and Sunny Hill’s OST song of the same name. They just completely change the title. I am normal, and hence my heart goes thump thump not pit-a-pat like rain drops.

Okay, this is not the best song to make a debut with. I have to agree there, but seriously, this is really fun to listen to and I thought this song ties in with the Summer feeling quite nicely. I am absolutely loving the start of the song, with the “Daegeun Daegeun” part. I really do like the instrumental with the lyrics. I am not actually a fan of the instrumental only, but the lyrics cover the ugly bits up. The chorus is pretty good, I really find the “K.I.S.S” really catchy and this group’s rapper is a total bomb at her job. I actually find the bridge of the song, pretty okay. It sounds good and really does not conflict with the song that much. The only complaints of this song is that the song is just too lively for me. You really cannot actually make this song serious, but it is just to happy and lively for me.

How weird is this video? 4 girls trying to hit on a guy. That makes total sense. Also, that guy is one dopey guy. All I know is he is a comedian in Korea and his name just slipped my mind. Yay. But beside that, the music video is really colourful. I am not a fan of that big stopwatch set which they dance around and all of that. Not that great at all. And who on earth uses black balloons at parties? I prefer coloured balloons. Maybe because I am an Australian and black balloons were onced use to try combat emissions and pollution, but black balloons? Also, Jo Kwon’s appearance really does not do much at all. All he does is act really homosexual (Like is he attached to that pole or what?) and really act “kkap” towards the girls.

More ass in the air? I am surprised many people hate this band because of their dance. Hmmm… Is waving your ass in the air a bit too much? Kara’s Mister must be on your hate list as well? Seriously, stop being hypocritical. This dance is awesome. Yes, it does look like the girls are selling themselves, but seriously, I have not seen a dance at all that is the same as this.  It matches the song’s beat and instrumental and the lively feeling of the song.

6/10. Pretty good. Could’ve been better though, but still pretty good overall.
