2 – TVXQ - Mirotic

Stan Ontology

I've got youuuuu, under my skin for at least another hour. Talk MIROTIC to us, TVXQ.

Once more, choose between the music video, the dance version, or the live stage performance.

• Starting on a serious note (warning for discussions of sexual assault, drug use, police corruption): a timeline of the Burning Sun scandal. Park Yoochun, former TVXQ member, comes into the timeline around late April.
• I want the world to know that Mirotic's Wikipedia page contains a synopsis of its music video and a list of precisely how each member was trapped by the magical seductress.
• A more generous way to phrase SM Entertainment (and the wider industry)'s trainee system is the idea that talent can be taught, not just found.
• On the other hand - there are definitely multiple idols who were scouted for their looks, and "passed" the audition on the barest of ability, so yeah, they definitely choose based on perceived or projected appearance.
• TVXQ is also sometimes called DBSK, the acronym for the Hangul transliteration of "東方神起".
• Alternate universe Mirotic.
• Glass goes "fboom".
• We regret to inform the "K-pop idols with dreads or cornrows" thing is still happening in the year of our lord 2019, and no, go find those pictures yourself if you really must.
• A passing note is literally that - a note you pass, on the way to another, more important note. They add interest - it's the difference between sliding from point A to point B, and just teleporting over there.
• Moist. Raps.
• Look, at least it wasn't this hair.

Come tell us how many songs you can pick out of the intro on Twitter: @regresssion and @claudiawylo (hint: there's definitely over a dozen). Watch yourselves: her whisper is the Lucifer—
