Kim Jaejoong - Mine

I don’t get what’s going on in this MV, but it’s pretty, if not more than a little cheesy. While most of K-pop is moving in the direction of hip hop, R&B, or sugary bubble gum pop, this boy band member is apparently using his opportunity as a solo artist to put out some music that takes the less popular route of rock. I am totally fine with that. I for one am pleased with that direction. I’m actually struck by how Japanese this song and video are—the visuals look like something I’d be much more likely to see in a Japanese visual-kei MV, some moments of the vocals stood out to me as especially Japanese-singing-style-sounding, and the fact that it’s rock in itself is enough to make it seem Japanese-influenced. This artist is a member of JYJ, and a former member of DBSK.
Note: This is the official music video, with HD!
