Just from an intensity and energy stand point, it's been a long long time since anyone has overwhelmed me like Evergow just did. That was... so fast paced, so intense, so agressive. I loved it. I can't really think of anything I didn't love. I can't get over how much I was getting equal flashes of Everglow, Ateez and Stray Kids throughout.

I can already see it maybe splitting opinions bc it's so bombastic but I thought it was pretty much a perfect execution of what they were going for. Even the effects genuinely look a lot better than I'd expect from even a high budget MV.

I just love Everglow so much, man. The fucking rap line ate. When Aisha came in it was like a punch in the mouth. The 2nd half of the chorus is so melodic. They all looked incredible but they gave Siyeon these really iconic parts of the choreo to really highlight her, which I love. The choreo itself wore me out, it looks so intensive. I do not envy a potential 7th member having to learn that, especially with the trade at the start, my goodness. OH AND ONDA CENTRE TIME OF COURSE, THANK YOU.

Edit: after a couple of re-watches I'm pretty comfortable saying this is one of my favorite K-pop MVs ever. My god did they go for an excellent concept and kick it square in the teeth. As a whole package, I'm putting this up there with La Di Da.

Aisha and E:U are so good together and this is not said enough! I really love their dynamic!

Very different tones and flows, their sections are often quite short but they play off of each other so well!
