I think she's a little strange looking, but she's definitely not ugly. She just has to grow into her features, perhaps.
Anyways, people are going way out of their way to bash Bahi and it's pitiful.

Flop. To say I'm disappointed would be an understatement. I don't get how you have a lineup like that and give them such garbage. Tbh, I just don't think SM knows what to do with these 'super' groups.
The lyrics suck. The song sounds like a bunch of shouting. Only 50% of the raps were okay. What a waste of talent and good styling. -
Jaehyun's vocal tone is so rich and buttery. Anyways, I like the song quite a bit. Bop!

Yuna is a natural performer. She really shines on stage.

I think the language and its perceived attractiveness or unattractiveness has an enormous impact on which cultures become enticing and popular.
Japanese is quite melodic yet sharp. Because of this, I think Japanese is generally seen as cool and attractive. In addition, the sounds aren't too difficult for native English speakers. The same can generally be said for Korean, although perhaps a little less so. These two languages draw a lot of non-native learners, which results in more people being drawn to the culture.
Perhaps SE Asian languages aren't aurally appealing to the wider global audiences. Just my theory, anyways.

Um...I don't see it at all. That said, that is the best I've seen her look. Blonde suits her well.

I mostly find them to be tacky.

BOP. Seriously, I loved it at first listen. The chorus and the whistle in the background are SO good. Doyoung's raspy ending...gorgeous! Jaehyun's face when saying "take that"...very cute.
There were some visuals I wish weren't in the MV because it made it less cohesive, but overall it was fine. Actually, if they would've had more of the vampire visuals that would've been awesome. But anyways, it's a great comeback for me!

For me, Black Mamba was mediocre and Next Level was simultaneously bland and messy. They're getting closer with Savage. I liked some parts, but I think it could've been love with some changes.
The good:
1) The pre-chorus is so good. It's easily the best part of the song for me
2) Choreography - Catchy, especially during the chorus.
3) Bridge - SM bridges are usually great, so no surprise thereThe bad, which seem to be in all of their titles:
1) Cheesy & try-hard lyrics. Does every one of their titles have to contain the words kwangya, naevis, or heavy handed lore? It's like the writers just throw the words in there, too, without consideration of context. It makes their songs so unlikeable outside of the fandom.
2) The art direction SUCKS. Music video is busy, overwhelming, and not cohesive. The worst part is, as others have said, it really distracts from the song. The visuals are going to age like milk.
3) Random high note flex at the end. Why? It adds nothing to the song but a bit of noise.
4) The verses are the weakest part of the song. I don't think they're 'bad', but they're not as good as they could've been.
Verdict: BLOP
There wasn't really any part of the song that I enjoyed. It just felt very flat.
