Not gonna lie the HyunA teaser was kinda... tacky? And not in a good way. It reminded me of something from 2009/10. Like tacky doesn't need to be bad, since Red did have a certain tackiness to it, but that teaser came across a bit last minute? Why didn't they film her MV in CA outdoors like the album teaser video? That aesthetic >>>
And you guys know how I love to be really non-biased and subjective about everything (hihi) but for talkings sake, Sleepless Night, Selene 6.23 and Quasimodo could be some of the best ballads ever. Which is why it's frustrating the Odd ballads are kinda crap. Which got me thinking how every SM release this year has had a dud ballad, which was the origin behind my post.

The TRUTH. Though I've actually warmed to the Odd ballads, especially An Ode to You. Neither of them are that good (AOTY could've been if it really went full flumpool in the bridge, which it did not) but they're sweet.
