K-Pop Opinionated


Now that promotions for 'Can't You See Me' are over, us MOA's got a new music video for one of TXT's B-sides, Puma. When watching performances and checking the comments, it seemed as if most everyone loved the song, but that wasn't the case for me. But, before we get into the review, make sure to stay tuned for the YouTube version of the post and subscribe to my YouTube channel 'YeonJunie' to stay updated. Okay, now let's get into the review.


The Song

Okay, so what do I actually think of this song? Well, let's just say it's not exactly my cup of tea. I don't know if it's the beat to the song or the melody, but I just don't really enjoy it. Of course, I don't hate the whole song, I can listen to it, and there are a few parts that I like, (for example, Beomgyu's 'They came, catch my back' part. That part is probably my favourite part out of the whole song) but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to it. Call me tasteless, but to be honest, I prefer Cat & Dog to Puma, although this is kind of biased because I love Cat & Dog, a lot of people don't, so you get my point. So, to conclude this section, Puma is definitely not one of my favourite songs from TXT.

The Choreography

Next up, the choreography. This choreography definitely isn't one of my favourites but I do acknowledge the fact that it is a good choreo. As per usual, TXT executed the choreography really well and the constant claws in the choreography really highlight the 'Puma / Animal' theme of this song. I don't necessarily have a favourite part of this choreography, but I would say that it is creative, and for a rookie group, it is quite good.

The Music Video


So, it may seem like I've been dissing Puma for the past few paragraphs, but now I actually have something good to say, and that's about none other than the music video. To me, the music video is probably the best part of this whole track. But first, if you haven't watched the MV then make sure to watch it above.

So, why do I like the music video so much? Well, watch 10 seconds of it, by those 10 seconds only you can see how high quality and high budget this music video is, it shows how hard TXT and BigHit work to provide us with good content. This music video is similar to the music video of 'Can't You See Me?' in the sense that they are both dark concepts, but the theme of Puma is quite different. Puma has this really trapped animal or beast theme which all of the members of TXT pull of quite well, and for Can't You See Me, I'm still unsure... But aside from that, I quite like this music video, I could go on (I haven't even mentioned TXT's visuals yet) but I'll spare you the time. — But if you want to hear me gush about visuals, then be sure to check out my review of Can't You See Me. — Overall, this Music Video was very well done.

Who owned this song?

For once in this section, I didn't have so much trouble. I managed to narrow my choice down to 2 people and one honourable mention. So, who are they? Well, In my opinion, the 2 people who owned this song are:

Yeonjun and Beomgyu.


So, why did I pick these two? Well, for Yeonjun, need I explain? This song is Yeonjun's song and he slayed in it, and as much as I may not love the song, you can't deny that Yeonjun's stage presence, visuals, rap and everything in this song is amazing. Now, for Beomgyu. I picked Beomgyu because I just felt he stood out to me in this song, and plus, he got a decent amount of lines in this song and I'm so happy for him because Beomgyu is so talented and it pains me that some people don't realise that.

Now, who's my honourable mention, well, it is none other than Prince Taehyun himself.


So, the reason I chose Taehyun as an honourable mention is simply the fact that he was centre during the choruses and I was really happy about that, and plus, Taehyun's vocals are amazing. I'm sure that gets my point across well.

Tell me in the comments who you thought owned this song.

Overall

So, overall, what did I think of Puma? Well, it's not my favourite, but it isn't necessarily a bad song, I just didn't personally enjoy it. Keeping this in mind, my overall rating for TXT's Puma would be a 7-8 / 10. Tell me guys what you think in the comments.

That concludes my review of TXT's Puma, leave any requests down below and make sure to stay tuned for the YouTube Video version of this blog post. (YouTube video is out now!)

Stay safe,

TXT recently came out with their new song 'Can't You See Me' and I think we can all agree, MOA's worldwide were blown away. TXT changed their concept from quite light, fresh and fun to dark, mysterious and just downright amazing. Since TXT is probably my Ult Boy Group, I had to review this song, so here is my review on 'Can't You See Me?'


 

The Song

First up, what did I think of the song? Well, I think this song is absolutely beautiful. I had it on repeat for days, the contrast between the slow piano at the beginning and the chorus which is a bit more upbeat (upbeat probably isn't the right word for this concept, but you get what I mean) works so well. I honestly just can't describe this song, it's so good. Here are some of my favourite parts:

  1. Yeonjun's 'Shh, More' part on the last chorus.
  2. The bridge section of the song with Soobin and Yeonjun
  3. Taehyun and Yeonjun's 'together, together' parts.

I'm pretty sure I could go on, but you get the idea.

The Choreography

This choreography is HARD, but I love it. There are parts in the choreo where it's smooth and other parts where it's sharp and powerful, but TXT execute all the moves so well at all times. Also, who wants to make Soobin's shoulders main dancer of TXT? I do. My favourite parts of this choreography are:

  1. Of course, Soobin's 'Who's a liar' part. It seems like such a simple move but I didn't even realise that only some people were crossing their fingers for 'liar' and others held out their pinky instead. That move only added to all the theories about this song, but I'll get to that in the Music Video section of my review.
  2. Yeonjun and Taehyun's 'together, together, forever, forever' parts. Let me explain, first of all, Yeonjun's part. The footwork in his part is hard to believe. It looks simple, but I've watched dance covers for this song, and I haven't seen anyone execute it as perfectly as Yeonjun did. Next, Taehyun's part, the arm wave. I can't fathom how they make it look so cool. I've tried and failed on multiple occasions, and TXT did it with ease.

Overall, this choreography is great, although it doesn't beat Cat & Dog for my favourite choreography from TXT, I still really like it.

The Music Video


Now for the best part, the music video. The teasers for this music videos had MOA's worldwide coming up with theories left, right and centre. To this day, I still don't understand the music video, but, if you have any theories, leave them in the comments below. However, first of all, if you haven't watched the music video, be sure to watch it above.

So, what did I think of the MV? Well, it was eerie, it was dark, it was weird and it was very red. There were so many elements to the music video that seem like it could be symbolising something, the tomatoes and strawberries, Beomgyu choking Taehyun with a blanket, the multiple seisures. I know, brutal. But, even with all of this, the music video is so aesthetically pleasing, the color scheme was mainly hot colors, with red being the focus and don't even get me started on the outfits. It's hard to believe that TXT are the same people who put out 'Crown' a while back. The duality is insane. One of my favourite parts of the music video is that one part when they're all in a line, there's so much going on I can't even describe it. Finally, the visuals. The visuals in this music video are A-MA-ZING. TXT really is a group of all visuals, they're stunning. Now before I gush on forever about this music video, let's move onto the next section.

Who owned this song?

This was quite difficult for me. This song and the change of concept fit all the members of TXT and everyone shined this comeback, however, the two members who caught my attention the most were:

Yeonjun and Soobin


The reason why I chose these two is that first of all, Yeonjun's dancing really stood out to me, and, his 'shh, more' is iconic. And secondly, I chose Soobin because his acting in this music video and this era, in general, is amazing, #actorSoobin and finally, Soobin's Shoulders. Soobin's shoulders wrecked my bias list and I'm not mad. Tell me who you think owned this song in the comments below.

My Overall Rating

Now for my overall rating, I may be biased, but this comeback was just amazing, from Crown, to Run Away to this. I was shook. So, my overall rating for this comeback would be 8-9 / 10. Leave your ratings in the comments below!

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed, and make sure to stay tuned on here, and my YouTube channel so that you know when the YouTube video for this post is out. (YouTube video is out now!)

Stay Safe,

Ciao xx
