Omona Original: KPOP Music Video Tropes Pt. 4 - The Auto Racing Aesthetic

[shittysoup]

There will be a sister post with the same theme over on ONTD.

Part 1: A Sandy Desert Locale
Part 2: Shipping Containers and/or Heavy Machinery & Tools
Part 3: A Moody Bathtub

Below I've compiled a short list of music videos featuring K-Pop artists that, for some reason or another, love indulging in an auto racing aesthetic:

rpm is a literal auto car concept title, but yea where are the cars and budget FNC? whereas AOA had that aesthetic down which would have been nice if they promoted in Korea.

SNSD's Bad Girl and Weki Meki's Crush come to mind for the 2nd category, where there were only hints of motors, but nothing much after.
[minimal aesthetics]



I feel like Mr Taxi kinda has for the outfits, but also taxis are not autosports. I had an impression Blackpink had some racing car MV, or was it just the spinning cars on rooftops?

We really need an updated Bad Girl video with this same aesthetic

fnc didn't have the budget for actual cars🙄 (they tried to make up for it in summer breeze but it was a misplaced effort)

some other minimal autosports: jhope is a car racer in the mv for 'dope', and exo's call me maybe had some cars and autosporty outfits if i remember well??

nothing to see here (and nothing to hear either)!

insert shrek oop meme. lmao

3ye incorporated motocross aesthetics into their stalker mv and tbh it could have been the entire mv (keep the suits though, it's not a 3ye mv without suits anymore), they looked great.

Not sure if it counts, but in Why Not Olivia is wearing a racer jacket and has a race car doing donuts around her?

It counts, it counts!
