SNSD

Like I said, something like a legacy fan song release, which should obviously work for the intended audience and was cool for a hag K-pop fan like me as well, ...

While it’s easy to get caught up in the moment, if one detaches themselves from the hoopla surrounding this, “FOREVER 1” sounds worrying similar to whatever group’s perfunctory fan song, bathed in lighter and generic touches. Really, the star here is the music video, which is chock full of references to their careers and also solo ventures, weaving everything into one nostalgic package. Well, a day that many were skeptical would ever come has indeed arrived, and after a five-year hiatus SNSD has reunited and are back with their ‘Forever 1‘ album.
