    See, personally, I thought How You Like That got annoying the more I listened to it. This song just gets better and better every time I listen, which I think just shows that you don’t always need a big loud chorus for it to be a good song.

      Thank you!! I think the same! I loved HYLT at first but then the lyrics of the chorus... and the last part with dun dun dun dun sounds much worse for me. This ending is the most powerful ending of Blackpink titles tracks. Well... It's there with D4 edm ending, that was really good too.

    I think ppl didn't give it enough of a chance. They heard the chorus and was like no. But after years of being an Nctizen has made me accustomed to weird and unique songs. So while the chorus was weird to me at first I still liked it and the more I hear it the more I love it. Also that line by Lisa is from Rihanna's debut song.

    For me the chorus really explains the concept of “Pink Venom”. The intro of the song is so strong and then suddenly it will give you an anti drop with their voices projected to be small. It’s very lethal! It gives both a femme fatale and sort of cutesy vibes.

    I always love blackpink's hiphop sound like Whistle, Crazy Over You and now Pink venom. I think one of the reason of most people dislike Pink Venom is prolly cuz they're not used to the niche of YG hiphop sounds which is okay, not everyone have to like everything. BUT I LOVE PINK VENOM

    • @kpopstationfy

      but it's YG tho, the hip hop sounds in their songs arent really a niche, did people really not like the song because of that ? I mean ikon, bp, bigbang, 2ne1, mino even treasure sometimes
      The other reason I've seen is the antidrop that I personally find incredible and broke the rules bp usual drops. It was a genius move to put it on such a big and awaited comeback. And this beatswitch with this 90's beat is pretty good

      Or people just didn't like the song? Its like every genre they've ever tried fit into one song and I found it disjointed and frankly extremely lazy. Teddy wrote it over every single beat hes ever made. And the thing is unlike groups that make their own music BP doesn't so its not even an insult to them so at least let people criticise Teddy. Most of us are hoping for him to make more effort for them.

    I personally love the chorus, it’s gives that “ooooh that’s different “ vibe, and that was actually my reaction at first listen. It’s sultry and takes u by surprise bcz BP usually does beat drops in choruses. So i actually really liked it since it’s also catchy especially with the choreo. Also the back and forth between jn and Lisa , their tones are very different but also match very well together

    Completely honest opinion: I loved it after the first listen and fell in love more and more after listening to it. And tbh that is how I was with every single BLACKPINK track so far let it be title tracks, pre-releases or B sides, that's why they're my fave group. I'm really looking forward the album although I wish it was not only 6 new songs.

      I love your post. This is exactly me. I'm a Blink based on BP's music. Each song is precious and if I get one track at time, four tracks at time, whether it be yearly or every three years, I don't care. Of course I want more but not at the expense of how they wish to put out their material. My loving BP has nothing do with what other groups do or the frequency at which they do it. If the girls are succeeding with other business pursuits like endorsement deals, acting, etc, I'm all for it! My favorite authors and painters are my favorite because of their books and paintings, however many there are and however long it took to get to me (or me to it). So many K-TH-camrs who take 10 minutes to say something you could say in 1 minute love to sh!t on BP because it's cooler to be critical than just liking stuff.

    It feels like Blackpink is finally having more of their own individual personal style influencing this track/visuals. It sounds less forced then some of their past tracks and it's clear from this video that they have grown really comfortable in their own skin.

  • @nicoengels7750
    @nicoengels7750 ปีที่แล้ว +1009

    I actually liked the chorus from the start as well. The whole song is really Teddy, which obviously many people dislike at this point but that is just Blackpink to me. It is what I am expecting and it is a really great song. Also Jennies rapping was my favourite in this song, she really killed it. As far as I know it is just their video style being the same concept for the last few songs and not a storyline.
    The only thing I did not like for this song is the editing of the music video. There are sooooo many cuts in here and it feels like you can not really process the shots most of the time because they are gone in the next frame. This made the music video hard to watch for me even though this is their highest MV budget with gorgeous visuals. It is just too cut up for me. I don't know if I am exaggerating but it feels like there are way more cuts in this video than seconds man, that's so annoying to me.

      @nicoengels7750 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @@MikedieONE I would never be one to say if it was objectively bad. It's just the personal feeling of the cuts being distracting. Personally I really enjoy performance MV's over normal music videos because kpop is just as much the dance as it is the music for me. And for this video I feel like you can not really experience the dance at all because everything is really cut up. I agree that fast cuts can be an artistic choice to achieve a feeling or style but the fast cuts are found throughout the whole video even in parts where the song is not hectic, like the bridge for example.

    Lisa’s & Jennie’s rap part is the best!
    It has the vibes of 90’s Korean Hip Hop scene and I love it!
    But to be honest… I am still thinking and I still don’t know how I feel.
    I mean, it might be BLACKPINK’s the most experimental song because of the rap part I mentioned, JiSoo’s starting section playing with gayageum and more!
    But somehow like all in all, it feels as if it was simply remade How You Like That.
    Like from the composition point of view, I guess.
    Simply I feel like we are getting The Album all over again, which is great and I loved The Album, but I was expecting to (and now Kanye West pun intended) DO MORE 😎.
    But hey!
    It’s only a pre-release, so we will have to wait for the whole album to be able to answer this “question”/unsure feelings of mine.
    Personally, I am a bit unsure about BLACKPINK’s future under YGEnt. like if they are going to renew next year.
    Because this whole big promotion of this album (they said it would be their the most expensive music video etc), the tour announcement with so many stops.
    I don’t know, to me it feels like when 2NE1 had Crush album and then the All Or Nothing tour and after that was a big break and then the Goodbye/end.

      i dont think they will let go bp just like that... they have one, if not the biggest, girl group in the world. YG built BP the way they are today... so they will surely cater the pinks demands if come to renewal of contracts. the big question would be, will the pinks renew? i feel like they will.. if they make the right demands... renew IF they give them more music while continuing their solo stints... both would be win-win for sure...

    When I first heard the song
    Jennie's opening verse killed me, Lisa with Rihanna's pon de replay, loved that, the pre chorus seemed kinda off but it goes with the song ig. I didn't liked the chorus in the first listen, but after hearing it for some time I eventually got obsessed with it, Lisa and Jennie rap duo was the best thing in the mv, the bridge was really smooth, liked that, the dance break was prolly their best with D4
    Overall it was a 9/10
    Excited for Shut Down!

      Tbh my problem is the whole bridge. I can get used to the chorus but the bridge is just a repetitive formula. Jenlisa rap, Chaesoo bridge and then the same dance break with filler lyrics (d4= take a walk take a walk like fire, KTL= we must kill this love before it kills us too, HYLT= dudududu, and now this ratatata). I just feel like teddy got a bit lazy. But the chorus wasn’t as bad as people saying.

  • @manny9601

    One of the things I love most about PD's reaction here is that it has credibility. I still remember when PD was very lukewarm on KTL...and I respected that opinion and PD for calmly and thoughtfully stating why. So if he states he really likes Pink Venom, then you know he really does!
    As you mentioned, it's sad how many people constantly try to setup BP for failure. There is plenty of room for all groups to have success without tearing each other down.
    I personally think Teddy & the members don't get enough credit for how brave they are. Is Pink Venom uber revolutionary...maybe not...but what it does well it does EXTREMELY well and it captures how experimental they are with their sound. Let's be honest, in the KPOP world, being experimental can be a death nail. But from the use of booming brass and horns in KTL, to really going hard into the minimal or "anti" drop since The Album, they have consistently tried new things and I respect them for that. I, for one, LOVE the chorus, it's constantly stuck in my head and I LOVE that it doesn't sound like every other kpop chorus out there. Nothing wrong with the "kpop formula" so to speak, but for me personally, it's nice to have something different also!
    I love the fact that they went hard into the hip-hop sections on this song, like you, it was everything I have always wanted for BP and really shows how dynamic they can be...and from an M/V perspective...I mean...BLACKPINK music videos are ALWAYS spectacles in and of themselves! Looking forward to Shut Down and your reaction when it drops!

    The production of the song is unmatched yet again and the sets are stunning. There’s mixed opinions about the anti-drop chorus but that’s because people were expecting the same empty hard-hitting edm sound as How You Like That and Kill This Love for example. I’m glad Blackpink went in a different direction with the chorus, all the while sticking to their signature sound and concept - a great move for their long awaited comeback single to reintroduce the world to their music and brand. The song has swept charts globally including charting at #1 on Billboard Global 200 for 2 weeks and counting (still the only girl group to enter the Top 10 in history), as well as remaining stable in the Top 2/3 of all Korean charts despite having only been performed once on any music show and not making a single appearance on any variety show. I wouldn’t expect anything less from the biggest girl group in the world and Korea’s representative and most influential girl group!

    Every time a blackpink video comes out i rewatch Mera's video "Why you can't look away from Blackpink" and i have to hand it to YG the way they have coded each member in terms of colours sets, editing, camerawork and aesthetics, it is second to none. I find that kind of consistency and world building very satisfying, more so than an actual storyline. Something i noticed in pink venom when they broke Rosé's colour coding with the firey coloured tomb setup is that that for each shot they used those colours we would get basically the same shot but with the violet and pink lighting more consistent with her shots. I get why it takes YG so long so give them comebacks, because everything must take bloody ages to put together!

The moment we keep on listening to the song, the chorus becomes catchy even if it's not that head banging. So maybe that's what they're intention from the start. I don't know though, this is just my opinion.
