Red Velvet Russian Roulette v. I.O.I Very Very Very

Red Velvet released Russian Roulette which is super-catchy, playful and somewhat robotic. This sugary synth-pop song is paired with a sweet and sour music video. The girls are dolled up and look so endearing, but as you watch you soon realize they're trying to harm each other. Yikes.

About a month later, I.O.I dropped 'Very Very Very' which is just as fun and catchy. Both songs are repetitive and playful, but the real similarities are in the music videos which share the same concept. They both have a sports theme, bizarre scenes and similar styling.

• Red Velvet - Russian Roulette
• I.O.I - Very Very Very

My Choice: I prefer 'Very Very Very' because the vocals have more emotion and the music video doesn't have dark undertones like Russian Roulette. Both are great though!

 Ladies' Code Galaxy v. Red Velvet Automatic

Recently, Ladies' Code made a comeback with "Galaxy". I noticed that the stunning visuals in the MV are similar to Red Velvet's Automatic. The aesthetics in both videos include tables of food, black & white classy clothes and members dancing expressionlessly. As for the songs, Galaxy and Automatic both are rather serious with R&b undertones.

• Ladies' Code - Galaxy
• Red Velvet - Automatic

My Choice: Both are pretty songs/videos but I prefer the lighter visuals of Galaxy. Ladies' Code focuses on white, while Red Velvet's MV is mainly black.

Orange Caramel Aing v. Cocosori Dark Circles

       

Orange Caramel is known for their odd but amusing songs like Aing. It's a sweet bubblegum pop tune about a girl liking a boy. In the MV the girls dance around in plastic cosplay outfits. But new girl Duo Cocosori proves they can be just as weird and charming! The pair dances to "Dark Circle" (also) wearing plastic-y dresses, interacts with a broccoli-man (yes, a broccoli man) and sing about getting bags under their eyes. Both songs are in upbeat trot with kitschy music videos!

• Orange Caramel - Aing~
• CocoSori - Dark Circle

My Choice: OC is one of my favorite girl groups,  but i'll have to choose Cocosori!
