An interesting thing about the K-pop industry is the number of concepts it boasts of. No matter what your taste, you'll most definitely find something to your liking. Chances are, even if there's something you didn't think was your preference, and according to your style, you still might find yourself jamming along. Such is the magic of K-Pop and its varied concepts. In this article, we list some of the most unusual and innovative ideas in K-Pop music videos.
1. Hitchhiker - Around
Hitchhiker is famous or rather infamous for its wildly confusing sound palette and video production. In this unexpected track collaborating with NCT Taeyong, the song boasts a clear sound and bewildering aesthetics. Still, all of it is made easily palatable because of how well it goes together. Taeyong truly has the Midas touch.
2. Crayon Pop - Bar Bar Bar
The music video for this song by Crayon Pop is the perfect amount of weird, cute, and adorable. The dance is catchy and easy to imitate, and the music is just the right rhythm. Besides, the rap breakdown will take anyone by surprise.
3. T.O.P - Doom Dada
Giant baby head, apes, the evolution of man, what isn't referenced in this crazy surreal music video by BIGBANG's T.O.P. His rap, as usual, is exquisite and unmatched, and the visual aesthetics he offers are hard to miss.
4. CoCoSoRi - Exquisite
This track by CoCoSoRi has J-Pop elements peppered in throughout the music video. From the catgirls to the baby metal feel, this quirky girl groups gives us everything.
5. B1A4 - Solo Day
Aliens are real, at least according to this music video. With its high-quality video production and inventive, quirky characters for the members, this song is one of the most innovative concepts in K-Pop.
6. Gugudan - Chococo
This high energy music video about a Willy Wonka like chocolate wonderland pushes the artistic bounds of K-Pop. It bears a resemblance to Orange Caramel's Catallena and for a good reason. The girls would love chocolate if that weren't clear enough!
7. SHINee - Married To The Music
SHINee is famous for having some of the most brilliant concepts, and Married To The Music takes the cake for possibly the best one of them and also the weirdest. The members seem to be under some sort of trance where they're hallucinating all kinds of things. The tone of the song adds to this feel.
8. VIXX - Voodoo Doll
VIXX pioneered the dark and creepy concept, taking it to a whole new level. The music video seems to be from the perspective of the voodoo doll itself as it vows to destroy anyone who hurts the girl. The members play the roles of last lovers that had wronged said a girl in the past. If that's not inventive, we don't know what is.
9. Gaeko Ft. BTS RM - Gajah
When it comes to music videos that absolutely make no sense but somehow it works amazingly, Gaeko's collaboration with RM from BTS perhaps comes first on that list. The video has an "anything goes" vibe to it, and nothing that happens makes any sense at all. However, when it features two of the best rappers in the industry, it's bound to be an absolute bop. So it is.
