In a dazzling display of creative prowess, NewJeans, the trailblazing K-pop group, dropped not one but two mesmerizing music videos for their latest track "Cool With You," featured in their highly-anticipated second EP "Get Up." Released on Thursday, the music videos boast an ensemble of world-renowned actors, including "Squid Game" sensation Jung Ho-yeon as Eros, Hong Kong's esteemed Tony Leung as Aphrodite, and actor Micol Vela as Psyche.
Producing a cinematic masterpiece once again, NewJeans enlisted the talents of their trusted producer Min Hee-jin and director Shin Woo-seok from Dolphiners Film, the creative team behind the group's previous chart-topping hits "Ditto" and "OMG." Set against the stunning backdrop of Barcelona, Spain, the two music videos artfully intertwine to create a captivating narrative.
Jung Ho-yeon's stellar portrayal of Eros, the protagonist, possesses a magical allure that ensnares all who cross her path, compelling them to fall in love. However, the plot takes a captivating twist when Eros herself finds love with a human, Psyche, portrayed by actor Micol Vela. The iconic Tony Leung takes on the role of Aphrodite, attempting to sever the bond of love from Eros' life, delivering a powerful yet wordless performance that leaves an indelible impact.
Min Hee-jin praised Tony Leung's meticulous approach to his brief appearance, even contributing the idea of portraying his character with white hair. The legendary actor, in a generous gesture, chose not to accept a fee for his involvement, viewing it as a heartfelt gift for his Korean fans.
As the mesmerizing visuals unfold, the members of NewJeans grace the screen as Jung Ho-yeon's guardian angels, adding to the enchanting narrative. Ador, the agency representing NewJeans, describes the choreography as a matured rendition of the group's performance, focusing on artistic expression rather than merely well-aligned dance moves.
The ethereal track "Cool With You" seamlessly blends falsetto vocals with UK Garage rhythms, showcasing NewJeans' versatility as artists. Within a mere 14 hours of release, the two music videos have already amassed over 6 million views on YouTube, a testament to the group's global popularity and the enchanting allure of their latest offering.
Fans eagerly await the full release of NewJeans' second EP "Get Up," scheduled to drop at 1 p.m. on Friday, promising a thrilling collection of musical brilliance that is sure to captivate hearts and solidify the group's position as rising stars in the ever-evolving landscape of K-pop.
