[MV Review] BoA - Only One

I have the same problems writing this as I did with the Younha review. Just like the Younha review, I was just gonna write "Awesome" and call it a day. I was just happy that BoA came back with Only One, because it felt like it was her apology for Hurricane Venus. I also just wanted to finish the review before Zaku wrote his review for The Shadow.

 

BoA took the reigns with the track, and it tells because it doesn't sound like an SM title track. I'm still surprised SM still let BoA have this kind of track as the title track, but I'm not complaining. I like it. It does really remind me of Kpop before 2007, before Korea had tried adopting so many trends in an attempt to make Kpop spread. This song seems like the antithesis to the current Kpop. There's a pleasant melody and actual lyrics to a title track. I know, I was trying to hold my "holy fucks" in too.

Of course, the choreography got all of the attention this time around. Her choreography for Hurricane Venus seemed so...weak compared to what she had done in the past. So BoA stepped her shit up this time with an actual choreography, probably the most memorable one in Kpop in years. BoA didn't even need to shake her ass or show off her legs to get attention for her dancing, which is rare these days when choreographies for girl groups are made to get guys to fap.

All in all, apology accepted for Hurricane Venus, BoA.
