This week's Music Monday is the saviour edition

with Bang Yong Gook's "I Remember"

[music]

We're really excited to review this song,

because it's not often that we review a rap/rock song.

Most mainstream rap is about how badass your are

But this song is about the pangs of lost love

and how this guy has been ruined as a result of it.

The video actually really surprised us,

not because it's groundbreaking or shocking,

But because the lyrics and the video actually relate to each other.

That's fantastic!

Also, the acting was amazing!

The screaming, the fighting, the crazy looks in the eyes!

And when was the last time you saw such a passionate kiss

in a Korean music video?

Yup, it was just a lot of face mashing,

and not a lot of lip movement,

but still: it's much better than what we're used to, right?

[music]

DING!

I told you to never go without me!

DING!

DING!!

DING!!!

DING!!!!

DING!!!!!!!!!!!

DING!

And there's lots of violence

BAM! Did you see the back of that guy's head get blown out?

Yeah, this music video definitely got banned,

but for once we can actually understand the reason why.

But as much as I loved the video, there was one thing that really disappointed me.

See, I was excited to hear that the tiny guy from B2ST was gonna sing the chorus,

because he's actually my favorite member of B2ST.

But he never showed up in the video, which sucks,

because I had a whole slew of clever jokes lined up

Such as.

Ahem.

B2STB2STB2STB2STB2STB2ST

You see what I'm saying? This was going to be comedic gold!

Anyhow, despite the passion and awesomeness of this video

its unclear ending had a lot of people confused by it.

Why are they screaming at each other at one time

and snuggling in the next.

Why was he rescuing her? Was she kidnapped by somebody?

But, believe it or not, there's a really simple explanation behind it all.

U-Kiss called, and they want their room back.

Oh yes, DongHo doesn't mess around.

You saw how mad he was last week at Chunji in Don't Spray Perfume,

How do you think Chunji's girlfriend knew he'd be at a club with another woman?

I'll tell you how: Teen Top used U-Kiss' room without permission,

So to get even, DongHo set Chunji up.

And now in this video we see two foolish people

break into the U-Kiss room, and make the fatal mistake

of shooting up DongHo's favorite piano.

You know the one: where DongHo and his invisible girlfriend - Dialtone - hang out.

So, now these two are screaming and freaking out

trying to figure out how to escape revenge from DongHo.

And so, they try to enjoy their last moments together,

before DongHo sends his goonies to punish them.

Moral of the story:

get a new freaking set for your music videos because I never want to see that brick room again.

OONT! Then who will pay for all my Bling Bling?

BROHOHO BROHOHO BROHOHO!

But seriously, this video was like a puzzle,

and if you watch it a few times,

you'll see a lot of pieces put together

that kind of reveal a deeper meaning.

What we've come up with as our final conclusion:

the main guy from the beginning of the video

is actually dead from the beginning of the video,

but he doesn't fully realize it yet.

He's determined to go save his girlfriend,

but he doesn't realize that this whole scene is already way over,

He's already tried to save her before,

and we're not really sure if she's dead or not,

But since this is a Korean Music video,

there's a 99.99 percent chance that she already died,

because pretty much everybody dies in sad Korean music videos.

He's already been shot up by the police.

I'm sorry, not the police.

The construction paper Swat team with that lopsided sign

on the side of their van that looks really awkward

Quality!

Anyways, it explains why you periodically see him stop

and grab his head in confusion.

Then we'll see really quick fleeting images, kind of like a flashback,

of his bloody body or a police siren,

but then he kind of shakes his head and denies that,

and continues his mission to save the girl,

but, we think that he's kind of trapped in a neverending cycle of memories

and he's always going to be stuck in this personal hell

of trying to save the girl.

I'm not gonna lie. The first time I saw this video

I actually teared up at the ending.

I haven't been this moved by a music video

since UV's "Itaewon Freedom"

So deep.

[music]

Since this is a rock/rap song,

there really isn't a dance to it,

and it'd probably be weird if there was,

unless you count flailing arms and gritting teeth and headbanging,

which we don't.

[music]

As for the English of the song, we give this a

5 out of 5

There are a bunch of English lyrics peppered throughout the song,

Like most Korean songs which have a few English words here and there,

but none of them are terrible or mispronounced,

so we have no choice but to give it a 5 out of 5.

[music]

Last week we asked you who would make the ideal boyfriend,

Dirty cheating scumbag Chunji from Teen Top's "Don't Spray Perfume"

Or SHINee from Hello Hello, all of them.

and I'm happy to report that ChunJi lost.

ONG BAK! ONG BAK!

Anyways, a lot of people mentioned

that they thought that would be cheating

if they dated all the members of SHINee,

so wouldn't it be the same,

but we were not saying that you'd date them all at the same time,

we're just saying you can choose any of the members!

Great job SHINee!

For this week's Savior edition, we ask you who tries to be the better savior:
