There’s no denying that K-Pop has a vast global influence, and its music videos are chock-full of themes that appeal to the genre’s Gen-Z fanbase. Yes, the music is always on repeat on our playlist, but there’s something really cool about their music video–styling. The style squad always makes it very clear that they are not here to play safe. These videos are a massive serve filled with wild themes like goth, regency, or traditional K-pop vibes coupled with excellent production value.
One of the most-watched music videos this year is Pink Venom by BLACKPINK. As expected, the most attractive portion of the music video is the fashion; the members (Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa) dabbled in expensive couture. It’s fair to say that these girls are one of the world’s most-watched style mavens. Apart from BLACKPINK, we saw New Jeans become one of the hottest fourth-generation K-pop groups. Their attire was a breath of fresh air in the industry, perfectly embodying the Y2K era. Not to forget the K-pop boy bands TXT, BTS, Ateez, and singers like Jackson Wang, who turned up the heat by going all out to serve major fashion.
