You know what I love? Kpop. You know what else I love? A good zombie. Put them together and you have Twice’s debut song, “Like Ooh-Aah.” While not the first kpop music video featuring zombies (that, I believe, goes to T-ara’s “Lovey Dovey”), it’s arguably the best, as Twice went on to become one of the best-selling kpop girl groups ever.
Having a debut song that doesn’t take itself too seriously is a breath of fresh air while some debuts are overwrought with special effects or tricky dance moves. You can’t really see it in this video, but their main dancer, Momo (the girl with the long blond hair who is on the school bus during the dance break) is actually one of the best dancers I’ve ever seen.
Did I mention that she’s dating Heechul from Super Junior? And that their leader, Jihyo, is dating Kang Daniel, a soloist? And they’re both doing so publicly? And Mina was allowed to rest after becoming diagnosed with an anxiety disorder? These things are pretty ground-breaking in the kpop industry.
While I wish they did more “girl crush” concepts instead of pandering to their predominantly male audience (allegedly, a lot of men in the military listen to their music to “cheer up”), I still look forward to their comebacks.
