Hello and welcome to this weeks Modern Seoul KPOP Song of the Week, our Second for August 2015. Although there were a number of interesting new releases recently, we’ve chosen the new release from KPOP Girl Group band Wonder Girls (원더걸스). The song is titled “I Feel You” and it was released on Sunday August 2nd. In that time it has been viewed over 4 million times on the JYP Entertainment YouTube Channel. Here are our reasons for choosing “I Feel You” as our KPOP song of the week:
- Firstly the song the 80’s style is cool and vocals are strong throughout. The concept is classic, but new for KPOP.
- Secondly the video has this cool 80’s style which matches the style of music perfectly. Plus it stands out vs. other recent KPOP music videos.
- Finally Beast have been active for 8 years now and have developed a large and loyal fanbase who’ll be please with this release.
- On the negative side; some younger fans might not understand the 80s style as much, but they still should enjoy the song. Also the 80s res of the video is a nice touch but not great for screenshots.
