Instead, it’s cute and dorky, particularly during the “lalala” parts of the chorus. Even though they use chairs as props and treat us to some greasy looks, the dance isn’t as sexy as you’d expect in relation to the song. Or perhaps the MV is just funny without any meanings whatsoever.įrom the MV, we can see that the dance for the track is also a bit silly. Instead, the MV seems to point out how absurd it all is by making it a mockery, especially since the boys are never shown to stop being attracted to the “ugly duckling.” Sort of like “hahaha, yeah, I’m crazy. Is there something inherently wrong with being attracted to someone outside what appearance society deems to be acceptable? I don’t think that the producer/director is agreeing with this idea. The guys are thought to be mentally unstable for their attraction to the unappealing “ugly duckling.” You see the boys being examined by doctors and even acting like they’ve lost control of their senses.
Third, societal superficiality of attraction is also brought up. Oh, and don’t accept drinks from strangers.
Therefore, we can surmise that the MV is expounding how mind-altering substances will alter your perception and make you do things out of character. Only Sungjae was unable to drink from the can, and thus had no side effects. From then on out, she receives all the affections of the boys, instead of the typical bombshell character. The guys had no interest in the unappealing “ugly duckling” until they drink from a suspicious can provided by said lady. Ignoring the superficiality of such statements (for the purposes of this analysis), it does make a point within the MV. Some of us have probably heard the phrases regarding others and inebriation: Alcohol can turn a 4 into a 10, and then you wake up with a 2. Granted, this lesson is pretty veiled, done in a way that you don’t realize that this could possibly be given. Second, there is danger in alcohol and drugs. The lyrics themselves support this idea since the song is about being completely besotted. People will fight over whoever they are attracted to, whether it makes sense or not. This included physically removing a man who points out the unattractiveness of the “ugly duckling.” That sounds like typical behavior for the “crazy in love” phase. Then, six of them fight over the “ugly duckling.”ĭuring those times, the guys will hear nothing bad about the person. At the start, the guys fight over the typical bombshell. You have two different female characters: the typical bombshell and the generally unappealing ugly duckling. However, is there a deeper meaning to the MV? There are three possible implications within the humor.įirst, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and attraction makes you a bit intense. Meanwhile Sungjae enjoys a love-shot with the pretty woman. In the end, we see the group defend the “ugly duckling” and some hilariously awkward head rubbing by Ilhoon. Peniel isn’t exactly the best doctor and uses it as a ruse to go after the “ugly duckling” himself. This eventually leads the guys to seek medical help. Whoever is typically seen as unattractive is suddenly beautiful in their eyes. Out of jealousy, the “ugly duckling” switches the pretty girl’s can of coffee with “BtoB coffee.”Īs the members end up drinking from the can, instead of the girl, the fun times start. When a pretty woman, played by Jang Do-yeon, walks into the scene, the guys go ga-ga over her and try various methods in getting her attention. Later on, the “ugly duckling,” played by Park Na-rae, awkwardly comes along, bumping into people and trying to get BtoB to look at her. This is only aided by the hilarious facial expressions of vocalist Changsub.įirst, we see the guys enjoying some time outside a convenience store (in a warehouse…), Sungjae clearly playing the suave guy with the cool car. It brings plenty of laughs from beginning to end. On the surface, “You’re So Fly” is just a pretty darn amusing story about attraction. Following the humorous MV “ Beep Beep” from earlier this year, BtoB make their comeback with another laugh-inducing MV in tow titled “You’re So Fly.”
