K-netizens react to NewJeans ‘Right Now’ MV
On June 16, NewJeans released their pre-release single ‘Right Now,’ ahead of their upcoming Japanese debut single ‘Supernatural.’ The music video gained attention for its unique animated concept, as it was made as part of a collaboration with Tatashi Murakami. The members of NewJeans are featured alongside the Powerpuff Girls in the video, and the fun lighthearted concept suits the group well.
Netizens have been discussing the ‘Right Now’ music video since it was released:
“The music video is so cute and it feels like a prelude to the album, I love it. Even though it’s a Japanese album, it has lyrics in Korean and English too, it’s so cool”
“I like the song, it’s just my style”
“The visuals are crazy…”
“The song choice really suits them”
“I was surprised by the Korean lyrics too, haha”
“I thought it would sound more like J-pop, but it doesn’t sound like a Japanese song at all? I’m surprised, it sounds just like old K-pop”
“Their vocals are crazy.. the music video is so pretty too”
“Wow, I really like the song. It’s already one of my favorite songs this year”
“Actually, I think it does sound like an old Japanese song from the 2000s. But it doesn’t seem out of place at all and sounds very chic. Every music genre sounds good when NewJeans does it”
“The song is trilingual, it’s so refreshing. This time, NewJeans is going to take on many new challenges.”
