Dia Will You Go Out With Me Music Video Review

The by yr or so has been a rocky rollercoaster forDIA. AfterChaeyeonandHee-hyun appeared onProduce 101, with the old joiningI.O.I, DIA gained i member and bid farewell to another; Eun-chae joined the group in March of last twelvemonth andMBK Entertainment announced in April that leaderSeung-hee would be leaving the group once her contract expired at the end of the month. Fast-forrard a year later to Apr 2017, and DIA has welcomed two more members, Joo-eun andSomyi. With their 2d full-length album,YOLO, the group has released "Will You lot Exit With Me?", their first title track as a nine-member ensemble.

"Will You Become Out With Me?" is a synth-driven pop song characterized past an abundance of cuteness. From the shrill pitch of the girls' voices to the repetition of "oh my" throughout the song, "Will Y'all Become Out With Me?" practically drips cuteness. Written with the assist of membersEunice, Hee-hyun,Jenny,Ye-bin, Eun-jin, and Chaeyeon, the song'south lyrics convey the protagonist's frustration with her beloved interest's push button-and-pull tactics every bit they offset dating:

Hey baby baby, will you go out with me?
Stop playing games
What do I do? My shocked heart
keeps pounding
What's incorrect with me?
My face grows blood-red whenever I see you
Only still, I similar yous, what do I do?

The MV, shot in Japan, opens with Chaeyeon walking down a street in Tokyo. She contemplates calling her boyfriend, just decides not to in case he's asleep. The scene then pans over to Chaeyeon sitting with the residuum of DIA in a cafe, so receiving a KakaoTalk message from her "oppa." Her members urge her to message him back until he abruptly calls her via FaceTime. The camera then cuts to DIA skateboarding — or rollerskating, in Chaeyeon's instance — down a street well-nigh the ocean. Throughout the MV, the camera cuts in between Chaeyeon's Kakao conversation, the girls walking through the streets of Tokyo, and so dancing to a lawn tennis court.

Although the connection betwixt the lyrics and the MV is there, it's faint. The MV could've been polished for cohesion, especially for the pseudo-dramatic opening. It felt out-of-identify, simply I volition commend the video's aesthetic. The black-and-white of the city streets contrasts well with the soft pastels of the trip the light fantastic toe cuts and skateboarding scenes. Information technology added a lot of visual beauty to the vocal and almost managed to distract me from the video's credible flaws.

Still, the video's outstanding visuals couldn't save information technology from its biggest downfall: likewise much Chaeyeon. Now it would seem as though pointing this out would exist to no avail, just information technology's still worth pointing out for its ain sake. Ever since Chaeyeon became a fellow member of I.O.I, MBK has actually been pushing her as the middle of the group to the point that at that place'southward basically no difference between calling the girls either 'DIA' or 'Chaeyeon and her redundancy dancers.'

Looking at the MV for "Will Yous Go Out With Me?" alone, information technology's similar a short film where Chaeyeon is the main actress and the other eight members are her supporting bandage. Affair of fact, information technology kind of is. It's not just disheartening for the other girls, but also merely a really annoying tactic on MBK's behalf. Personally, I would dear to come across some more promotion for Eun-jin, who'south a pretty expert singer and an even meliorate dancer.

All in all, while cutesy songs aren't necessarily my favorite, "Will Yous Get Out With Me?" is an alright track. The accompanying MV isn't the all-time, it does a fair job of reflecting the vocal'south lyrical content. If you can get past the nearly-exaggerated cuteness of the song and the fact that the MV is 94% Chaeyeon, you might just enjoy information technology.

Rating: three/5
