B.A.P - 1004 (Angel)
Info:
- Release Date: February 2, 2014
- Creators: Kang Jiwon, Kim Kibum, Yongguk
- Video/Lyrics/Subtitles
- Rating: ★★★★☆
Plot:
- All six members of B.A.P mourn their girlfriend. Himchan takes it one step further and shoots his mirror image in the head, thus restricting this video with a serious warning about suicide triggers. The song is impossibly sad until you realize that she just broke up with them, not that she died.
Notes:
- Yongguk is in the shearling coat in the desert, next to the rib cage of an enormous animal, but is probably just his own sould. He's digging what looks like a grave (or his heart) but is actually a sculpture of what I would swear is St. Patricks Cathedral in NYC, given to him by his girlfriend
- Himchan is wandering sadly around his fabulous apartment in a zoot suit. He watches old videos of himself being happy, finds a gun, and shoots his past self in the head
- Daehyun is also in the same apartment, but he seems to be having a much better time, examining hourglasses and noticing toys running backwards. He also reminds me here of Hyungwon of Monsta X, which is never a bad thing.
- Youngjae looks like a million dollars in his suit and room of mirrors. His reflection keeps showing his girlfriend, so he smashes the image and starts bleeding. Protip: don't punch mirrors if you don't want your fists to bleed like crazy
- Jongup is posing sadly against the Instagram-worthy cracked winged wall. He, too, starts punching the wall and manages to clear a hole through it and look on the other side. He might be handling his grief the best out of all of them. God help us all
- Zelo (or the Suga of the group, as I like to think about him) sadly reminisces around the carousel from What's Wrong With Secretary Kim?. He accidentally shorts it out and notices that it's starting to get covered over with weeds. He's probably the second best at handling his grief, honestly
- Video MVP: I'd like to give it to Himchan for his dramatic role, but I don't think his fictional character arc did him any favors in real life, so it'll go to our fearless leader, Yongguk
