Big Bang – Love Song
Big Bang is back (again) and have released a music video for Love Song, one of the new additions to their fourth mini-album’s Special Edition. I was impressed by the artistic almost seamless one-shot of the entire video. Although I was a little confused. See why for yourself:
Is it an apocalypse? Did the world get destroyed by their hatred of this love song? Why does that car fall from the sky at the end? The world may never know, but it makes for a very “cool” Big Bang video, I suppose.

*EDIT*
According to reports, this music video cost more than $200k USD and used equipment such as motion control cameras, cranes, flying cams, and steady cams in a seamless one-shot sequence — which is more like a two-shot.
It was directed by Han Samin.
This brings me once again to the issue… K-pop industry, why do you keep hiding the MV Director’s name? Just a few details in the description box in your YouTube upload, and you’d be perfect.
I love the style and direction of the video to be honest. LOL I watched it more than I care to admit to track the camera movements, and to see where it cuts. xD
@amy, Ikr? Lmao I wanna see where it goes from camera crane to flying cameras xD.
Man it is so nicely done! Can u imagine how much that took to plan? lol
Yes Big Bang, I also hate this love song.
Is it me or does this sound very U2? Looks that way as well? lol
It’s different from what BB has sounded before, that’s for sure, but is it better? I’m not so sure
@Julili, also, they can’t dance. LOL – I mean, looks a bit sloppy specially with all the tracking they had to do.
I dunno about the sound. They have the right to go into whatever direction they want… but you know I only liked Haru Haru, so I have no issues.
@amy, correction: T.O.P can’t dance…. xD
I swear to god, no song will ever be as great as Haru Haru. I even dare say it: it was the jam of 2008 fuck DBSK’s Mirotic!
@Julili, O___O That’s a shock Julz!
@amy, They CAN dance – just not TOP. xD I think it was hard to get them in sync while doing the large continuous shots. Plus, that was really awkward choreography.
@Jenna, all of their choreography is so awkward, they should just not dance
@Julili, I also noticed the U2 vibe on the song, reminded me of “With Or Without You”. I guess that maybe Big Bang are fans of U2 and with this song they wanted to pay tribute to Bono’s band, perhaps?
@Rodrigo, I doubt it but it would be cute
@Jenna I give credit where credit is due. Mirotic is great but Haru Haru is greater, there I said it! May the Cassies have my head on a silver platter.
Agree with Julili. TVXQ is my life but Haru Haru is the best pop song of all time, much less 2008. And this music video was amazing. Props to Big Bang, they really brought it this time. Tonight was a joke in comparison.
@Linzer Dinzer, I really love the video I just wish the song was better :/
@Julili, Question: do you think it would be better without GD singing “I hate this love song” about a thousand times?
@Jenna, the question is… would you feel the same way if they would say “i hate this love song” in korean. xD
Yea I hate this love song. This is like Backstreet Boys but gayer ;)
@Castor, LOL. Oh no you didn’t. Do you know what you’ve done? The Kpop fans are like a tsunami. xD
@Castor, *side eyes u really hard* but I shall let this one slide cus I’m not a die-hard VIP
