Hi! Do you mind going over the new IVE mv and the aspects of Chinese culture in it? I did my own research, and I think most things cnetz are like upset about are borderline also in kr culture (I'm a bit sceptical by their knot choice tho), EXCEPT for the tuanshan! Which I'm pretty sure is chinese only. Thankyouu
Hi.
Yes I mind. I am not into kpop but I look up that video and the first thing I saw is that smoking tube which I hate (it is a signature Orientalism pose). I will not spend my holiday looking at things that I don't like and write analysis in proper English to explain in anger. From the half of minute or so the video I watched the whole aesthetic (the colour choice, the style of the hills and clouds etc.) was just very "guochao". I don't know what "Korean traditional culture design in modern" in Korea looks like now but that vibe just scream China for Chinese citizens. Even you have noticed the knot and tuanshan.
