Kai (EXO) - Wait On Me
cw: lens flares, Kai's everything, flashing, blood/injury

Every time I watch this, I pick out more little things that could be call backs to earlier EXO releases/the whole EXOplanet lore situation, which then gets my brain going all sparky. I blame the silver and black tank top this time. If you've watched early EXO MVs, you'll know why. 😉 And if you haven't, search up EXO-K MAMA and just accept the cringe.

LAY - 外婆
cw: flashing

Throwback to this tear-jerker of Lay remembering and missing his grandma in yet another sweater I need to steal for my collection (the fluffy striped one).
(Sorry not sorry for the emotional damage this week)
(and yes, I'll get the weekly roundup posted later today)

BONUS: Suho - Made In You )

Min Jiwoon - If You Were the Rain (feat. Crush)
cw: stalker-y behavior

A little bit of jazzy R&B for a change of pace for this Sunday evening, with a side of (yet another) Sir Not Appearing in This MV. 😉
(there's been a bunch of such knights/dames this season)

As an aside.... we know my health has been crap since this was added to the SotD schedule back when it was first released. In mid-March. And the only reason it wasn't pushed down even further is my switching to actively trying to post 2+ songs a day as much as I can to try to catch up. 😅

BONUS: Kai - Adult Swim) )

Hwang Chiyeul - Regret
cw: flashing, camera motion

Another rock song for SotD because yes, but in a completely different register from the last rock SotD. And now I want a bagel sandwich again!

BONUS! Chen - Light Of My Life )

Flashing back this Friday of love to pre-military-era EXO

EXO - Love Shot
cw: lens flares, flashing, drinking, lore implications

Korean ver MV )

Mandarin ver MV )

It's basically the same MV, just with Mandarin lip sync slotted in where the Korean version had those performance parts. Which is an unfortunate missed opportunity to do more storytelling. I don't know if someone got lazy or someone just couldn't be bothered to script out a whole second MV. Either way, it makes me sad that they didn't do more.

Doh Kyungsoo (D.O of EXO) - Snowfall at Night

D.O could sing just about anything and get me to cry about it, the penguin friend is just an added bonus reason for choosing this song. Although now I'm half tempted to try stringing together a narrative from his animated MVs.

EXO - Lightsaber
cw: flashing, blood/injury

Not sure giving any of those boys the ability to use a lightsaber would be wise, but especially not Baekhyun or Kai. On the other hand, from a strictly marketing point of view, it made sense to feature them as two of the more popular members.

and yes, there's a Japanese version, too: https://youtu.be/Z3lB2jx_drM (same video, just different language vocals)
