Wanna be your love love

So I promised my friend Caitman I would put together a playlist to introduce her to the magic of K pop. Rather than being a chronological history it's a completely subjective account of my own descent into k pop oblivion. At this point, I would like to take the time to express my eternal gratitude to Jessica Jane Howard and, through her, Bunny Bissoux, for my own induction. I am forever in their debt, and a lot of my trivia has undoubtedly sprung from long discussions with Jessica over coffee in the library when we really should have been grasping the fundamentals of Foucault instead of discussing Yejun's latest twitter post. The first K pop video I got obsessed with was F.Cuz's Wanna Be Your Love, also known as Friend’s Graduation, and is about graduating from friends to boyfriend and girlfriend. It got put on repeat, largely due to the excessive number of lip-bites, particularly from Lee U and maknae Yejun. It pains me a little to watch this now, as Lee U was my first K pop love and will always have an extra special place in my heart, but alas he has left the band. Rumours abound that he will be replaced by not one but TWO babes (and I can confirm that they are babes), but I feel that no amount of babes can replace Lee U. The styling is supreme, Kan's headgear is spectacular.  Such a simple video, yet says more about these lovely boys than any amount of CGI special effects could ever convey. 


And Lee U's sweater - no need to ask twice.
