the wong kar wai and loona parallels are insaneeeee. Also the expiration dates and the three members' birthday just straight up blew my mind

makes me wonder if the members bdays are fake. which is not a surpise for kpop profiles and even with how narrative-driven jaden jeong envisioned for the loona project. that is too much of a coincidence.

​@@latteARCHif it's not fake, then they didn't choose Wong Kar-wai, Wong Kar-wai chose them.

Everyone should be obsessed with Wong Kar-Wai.

mamamoo's wind flower with the car scene or in front of the mcdonalds, pure wong kar wai's inspo

I loved this video! Loona takes some heavy inspiration from Wong kar wai and Bong Joon Ho. I think Sonatine MV should also be on the list. There's a really good video essay on the connections between wong kar wai movies and the Loonaverse on KZread by Details of the Loonaverse. I recommend it to everyone

its not only K-pop that does wang kar wai inspired, its largely K-movies in end of 1990s and early 2000 that were hugely inspired from it, then it went into K pop MVs and this still persists today, because most of directors of flim makers in Korea are wang kai wei inspired or somehow influenced by him. and I am that generation who are obssessed with Wang or Iwai Shunji

Send me Korean movies inspired by WKW plz ill watch all of them

Thanks for creating this video, I knew about Bittersweet and TXT's Lovesong but I wanted to see more MV's with the same vibe, I think Wong Kar Wai's style is really remarkable within asian media 🙏🙏

I've always felt Jeongyeon's part in TWICE's Cheer Up was very obviously Wong Kar Wai inspired

so glad this video exists,,, i love both of them so much

Great... now I have to go watch Chunking Express for the 100th time.

Can't let WKW films be forgotten, this generation don't know about him!

I thought I saw TWICE's Jeoungyeon in front of a fan in (may be) Cheer Up mv reenacting Faye Wong in Chungking Express.

update: newest mv of itzy ryujin it's soo heavy inspired by ykw too

Excellent video essay

the 2:51 taxi scene is more like Happy Together

I agree, though there are probably other scenes of people laying their heads on someone else's shoulder in WKW's work. The absence of references to Happy Together in this video is interesting.

Great works of art by fresh perspective director

Now that jaden and digipedi are back to working with loona (through ARTMS) i'm looking forward to more references

We love wong-kar-wai

Loona had a lot of talented people working with them. (I hope they got paid for their work)

insanely cool

and they fail all the time though, I don't get why they make it so sterile

I agree, no matter how k-pop (or anyone for that matter) tries to recreate his ‘aesthetic’, they never really succeed in capturing the essence of wong’s work. After all, using moody lighting and references to his movies isn’t really enough to fully embody the wkw style

The birthday one is crazy

ngl, like, how bro, how it is even possible

Talk about Easter Eggs! :D

Everyone loves WKW

💯

bro, how did you miss bangtan’s hyyh or 花樣年華 ?? I guess they didn’t make that many visual references

@unikaang1177

I agree. 花樣年華 is the biggest references, exactly the same Chinese character of In the Mood of Love.

Ok I like this director and his movies too. But movies are not real life lady
