My Journey with SuperM: A Fan’s Perspective
When I first heard about the upcoming debut of the SuperM boy group, I was overjoyed. Here it was, with members from some of my favorite K-pop groups EXO, NCT, and WayV. For someone who has been immersed in K-pop since their first experience with EXO, SuperM was a dream come true. In this article, I will explore my journey as a fan, from initial skepticism to full-blown love for the group.
Introduction to the SuperM Members
First, let me break it down for you.
Baekhyun and Kai from EXO
Baekhyun and Kai from EXO are simply perfection. EXO was the first K-pop group that I fell in love with, a genre that has been a constant source of solace and joy in my life. Both Baekhyun and Kai are biases that have completely captured my heart. The songs that contain their voices always top my playlists. They have been instrumental in nurturing and growing my love for K-pop.
Taemin from SHINee
Then there’s Taemin, a solo artist who could never be replaced. My friend introduced me to Taemin's music, and since then, I've been singing his songs non-stop. Taemin holds the top spot on my list of K-pop artists, and I can't help but feel grateful for having discovered him.
Taeyong and Mark from NCT 127
Taeyong and Mark from NCT 127 are game-changers for me. NCT has three groups, but these two have been quickly climbing my list of favorite K-pop idols. I discovered them through a girl in my choir, and now NCT is a regular discussion point in our choir meetings. Their music has brought X-factor to my life.
Ten and Lucas from WayV
WayV, with Ten and Lucas, is the newest addition to my radar. While I'm still in the early stages of exploring WayV, their music has already earned its place in my top songs folder. The variety in their sounds has made them a delightful surprise. Every song they release is worth the listen.
With all these idols, coming together in one group, it was indeed my fan's dream to see SuperM debut in the US. I embraced it and warmed up to the idea. As trailers and details began to surface, I gave it a try, and now, I'm in love with SuperM.
Analysis of SuperM’s Debut
The Song
My initial reaction to the song was incomprehension and lack of direction. It took a few listens to adjust, but now, I can say I enjoy it. I still honestly believe it's not a standout song, with a somewhat flat chorus and overused sound effects. However, the rap parts, particularly Mark's, are easily enjoyable. The poppy beat and energetic vocals make it catchy and unforgettable. It's a solid 5/10 for me.
The Music Video
The music video for SuperM is nothing short of amazing. The high budget and well-crafted filming contribute to a memorable viewing experience. While I would have loved to see more locations in Dubai, the futuristic set and clean visuals make up for it. It's a top-notch production and a well-deserved 8/10 from me.
The Choreography
On the choreography front, SuperM nails it. The group boasts some of the most talented dancers in the genre, and the performances are both beautiful and memorable. The chorus part especially stands out for its visual appeal. They are capable of handling any difficult choreography, making this a standout 7/10.
Line Distribution
The line distribution, however, is disappointing. Lucas and Ten get very little lines, which seems like a missed opportunity. They are talented artists, and more lines would have allowed them to showcase their skills. This is a huge 2/10 for me.
In summary, while some aspects of the debut are not perfect, the overall experience with SuperM is undeniably positive. The members perform with energy and endurance, and the group's potential is vast. I look forward to seeing more of their live performances and consistent releases.
Conclusion
It's clear that SuperM's debut is a remarkable achievement for fans like myself. The highlight of their music and performances is a testament to the quality of their members and the hard work put in. I am excited for their future and hope to see more of SuperM in the coming years.
