I give this video 5 stars. I love the part where Seungmin is dancing while there’s a giant octopus behind him. It reminded me of the scene in Guardians of the Galaxy 2 with Groot dancing while everyone else is fighting the giant alien with tentacles is behind him. Maybe that was a reference.
The lyrics are also heavily based in word play with the two words "특" (teuk) and "별" (byeol). As two words, it means special and star. As one word (특별) it elevates the concept of special but also means unique, odd, or different. The entire song heavily uses the sound of these two words and plays off of them to build a lot of rhyme schemes. I'd definitely recommend the yt channel AndyandJas as they often do lyric breakdowns to help non-Korean speakers (or Korean learners) further understand the nuance of the wordplay. Especially SKZ for being so lyrically witty, it adds a whole new level of appreciation for the music. Congrats on your first comeback!
23:50 Definitely callbacks to big hits like Thunderous with the blue goblin fire and traditional costumes, God's Menu with chefs, and I'm pretty sure the horse is My Pace. But I believe there are also just overall thematic callbacks like the multiples of SKZ (Side Effects, Circus, and more), fighting monsters (Thunderous "sound monster", Case 143 "heart monster"), mirrors and mirroring (Mirror, Side Effects, Levanter). I'm sure there are more too, but it definitely feels like this M/V was recalling all the steps that lead to the moment SKZ could stand proudly as special stars.
Thanks for reacting ❤❤❤ crazy ❤❤❤but just the perfect amount hahah❤the blue goblin fires from thunderous❤ yes singing seungmin with his teasing attitude is fun to see ❤❤I’m loving seeing Felix and Lee Know feeling strong enough to rap and sing and dance ❤ the eye octopus I think links through to the sense themes we’ve had ear monsters and eye monsters too hehe ❤ this era like the old ones is on fire❤
