k-pop) Stray Kids - S-class "특" Music Video Review: A Mesmerizing Ode to Seoul Introduction
DJ kkulkkul 2023. 7. 25. 08:21
As of June 30, 2023, Stray Kids' music video "특" has secured the 12th position on the Billboard chart, which is truly remarkable considering it has been four weeks since the album's release. Initially ranking at No. 1, the video garnered attention for its engaging challenge, and now, after watching it, I understand why it achieved such success.
Capturing the Essence of Seoul
Right from the opening lines mentioning "서울특별시" (Seoul), the music video subtly sets the backdrop of Seoul. The scenes of the construction site intermingled with Stray Kids dancing create an authentic portrayal of the city. From the Han River to various bridges and bustling construction sites, the video encapsulates the essence of Seoul's diversity.

Synchronized Visuals and Lyrics
The music video does an excellent job of complementing the lyrics with its visuals. Notably, the mention of "깡통" (can) in the lyrics is creatively depicted as an actual can popping up in the video. This synchronization throughout the video is truly impressive.
I wrote down Korean in English as it sounds.

Exploring Different Facets of Seoul
The video continues to showcase various aspects of Seoul, such as garbage trucks, small living spaces, bridges, and alleyways. The inclusion of the garbage truck, a familiar sight in the early hours, offers an insight into Korean culture, adding an element of surprise and fun for viewers.
Innovative Transitions and Choreography
The scene right before the chorus stands out as a highlight. The clever use of puddles for seamless transitions between shots is visually stunning. The camera movement, tilting in the opposite direction during the choreography, magnifies the impact of the dance routine.
Eccentricity and Intensity
The alleyway scene with its Harry Potter-esque vibe piqued curiosity, and its connection to the flying cars scene was intriguing.
The appearance of the "monster" added intensity and uniqueness to the video, even if the reasoning behind it may not be immediately clear.
Culmination of Colors and Visuals
The climax of the video masterfully weaves multiple colors, dazzling fireworks, and dynamic camera angles. The scenes blend harmoniously, creating a vibrant yet coherent visual experience.
Closing with Impact
As the video fades out with dimming lights, it leaves a lasting impression. The introduction of the title track "특" combined with a brief summary of the video is a perfect way to conclude, leaving viewers yearning for more.
Final Thoughts
Initially, I was unsure about the song, but after watching the music video, I am enamored. The video's flawless transitions, captivating use of colors, and spotlight on individual members showcase the charisma and allure of Stray Kids. Overall, "특" is a mesmerizing ode to Seoul that seamlessly marries visuals and lyrics, making it a video worthy of multiple viewings.
