BABYMONSTER - 'DESERVE' M/V MAKING FILM

Why Koreans care

The director describes the character’s past passing like a 주마등 (jumadeung, revolving lantern)—a Korean expression for memories flashing rapidly before one’s eyes. While trying to produce a tearful expression, one member says she imagines that her father has died and addresses him with “Long time no see.”

In the Korean comments

One comment reads, in translation, “As you’d expect from Ahyeon’s actor-like look, the moment filming starts, her acting is astonishingly good—every moment is a highlight and a spectacle.” Another specifically credits both the music-video director and the hair, makeup, and styling.

What the words mean

“배우상 아니랄까봐” (baeusang aniralkkabwa, as expected from someone with an actor’s look) literally has the negative shape “as if she weren’t an actor type.” Here it is casual, admiring emphasis: Ahyeon already looks suited to acting, and the commenter thinks her performance confirms it.
