NEW KPOP GROUP: Monsta X-Trespass

Hi guys! There are a couple of Korean Boy groups that have been debuting but there was one that caught my eye. They are called Monsta X which consist of six members. They debuted on May 14, 2015 with the song Trespass. Monsta X is the first hip-hop group to debut under Starship Entertainment, the home of Sistar, K.Will and Boyfriend. I have a limited time to talk about it (Gotta study!) so let's get to it.


 Music Video: 
Ok. Initially, I was like ok... this is weird. I liked how they introduced the members individually ; however I could no see their faces. How am I suppose to learn their names if I can not see their faces? 
Another thing is how the editing was done. Who the heck did the editing?????!!!! It was fine in the beginning and then later it seemed like the song did not match to what the members were lip syncing to. The Setting in my opinion was a bit over the top. I feel that they went a little to far into the ghetto scene, but it matched with the beat at the same time. 

OMG. I loved the touch of the body cameras. It provided a great new perspective. Instead of viewing it from the front view like a typical music video, it seems that they had one or two members where body camera. It seemed that you were there with them or walking with them. I love that new feeling! Innovation right there! 

Music and Choreography:
As a non dancer, I really love to watch the choreography of different groups. I like to see what type of style they can do. The choreography matched with their outfits and the set. ok Besides the "great" editing, I feel that listening the music alone is the best. When I watched the video while listening to the  music, I found myself trying to follow along with the music but I could't follow along with which member is singing. It seemed to be off. I liked how the beat made me want to learn the choreography. I liked how the confidence and the dance came together because it came off as a tough but yet sexy kinda way.   

English:
I am a bit surprised with the members and how they were able to pull off their English. I could understand them clearly thought at sometimes where I am like "Wait what? Let me listen tot that again". However overall I am happy with the english that they spoke :D My favorite line is "Excuse my charisma". Like Wow.

Overall: 
I like the confidence that they projected through the music video. I could not see this as debut video if another group did it; however this group pulled it off nicely. When I first listen it for the first time, I was like "Wow I have never heard of this group before". Before I looked at the date it was released, I was thinking that it was their third or fourth song but nope.. it was their debut song. I hope to see this group have more followers! Hwaiting!
