Monsta X - Beautiful Liar
About:
- Date: January 9, 2023
- Info: Lyrics/Subtitles
- Production: Hyungwon, Jooheon, I.M, Ryan Jhun, Highqualityfish
- Rating: ★★★★★
Plot:
- Men and their toxic romances! The five remaining Monsta X guys love a toxic woman with open sores on her tongue ("At the end of your red tongue like the color of blood, you got sores, I will kiss that I love your lie"). This is all probably an analogy for loving fame a little too much, but I'd like to think they're all romancing the Hindu goddess Kali. Monsta X goes *big* with their bad romances.
Notes:
- The video starts in red (passion! fire!), moves to chains and black & white (being trapped in a bad romance; seeing everything starkly), and resolves itself into herringbone (finally integrating/accepting both the bad and the good)
- Hungwon in red leather (Love Killa!) And on a horse! 15 year old me is very, very happy
- Minhyuk bias-wrecking everyone< in this video
- Kihyun looks adorable ("Toxic, so addictive!"). Don't date the bad women with open mouth sores, Kihyun!
- I.M always seems perpetually disappointed in me. On the other hand, neither of us are basic bitches ("I feel like I don't like basic. Is this what you call lovesick?")
- The Monsta X guys seem to really, really like sex
- MVP: Joohoney! From hiding in the burning rafters to his power vocals and awesomely unexpected second rap, he stole the video. Plus, the man has a sneer that could rival Billy Idol. Rock on, Jooheon!
