why someone call this as a cute concept? It's kinda mysterious and elegant l love both this song and 'i like it'

Why people labeled this concept as innocent? I mean am I the only one who think that this is a really mature and elegant concept?

Unpopular opinion: This song and free'sm album is a masterpiece

I wish more groups would do ethereal concepts like this :(

This song is not disliked for it's concept and vibe, but for the timing it was released. Many ppl were dissapointed with CUBE releasing this "soft" song after Hobgoblin, when the newer fans were expecting a hard hitting girlcrush song. This song is in fact a masterpiece. What many ppl don't realize is how poorly Hobgoblin was recieved in Korea and some were hating on CUBE and CLC for switching to badass and said it didn't suit them and reminded too much of 4Minute. Given how much hate CLC and CUBE got during Hobgoblin era it is not that surprising that CUBE tried to switch concepts again to try to keep the koreans satisfied. Actually here is the real tea: The huge attention Hobgoblin got was mainly from 4nias (4Minute fans) who saw their faves get disbanded and their attention turned to CLC, that had released a song which had a 4Minute vibe all over it (because of Hyunas involement in the production and style). And CLC got a lot of hate from 4nias too. So CUBE and maybe even CLC thought, "what's the point in continuing this concept when ppl are just hating on us?" Sometimes I still think this song and title "Where are you" is meant for the future fans of CLC, the fans that CLC expected to see, but who never came.

Unpopular opinion: this is CLC's best song

This song was ahead of its time. If they bring this back in a special stage or something like that, especially because right now 80's synth pop (i dunno about genre plz dont fight me) is trending nowadays, this would finally get the recognition it deserves. 😭

This is one of the biggest examples of "wrong timing". This song is one of the best in KPOP but the way it was totally overlooked when it came out

If no one’s bopping to this in 2023, then no one has taste.

I heard people say this comeback was disappointing and it’s the exact opposite. Def my fave clc song

this was one of their best releases yet everyone slept on this coz this is not a noisy girl crush sound 💀

i’ve said this a million times but i’ll say it again- THIS SONG WAS AHEAD OF ITS TIME. However!! Cube was not smart for releasing it as a title track after Hobgoblin . Being a fan when this was released was depressing.. But it’s a top 5 clc song for me

I still don't get why people don't think this is a summer song. It is. As in, it's a lazy summer afternoon song.

From Hobgoblin to this. That was some 360 degree turn! CLC is a very versatile group. People should stop sleeping on them!

K-pop fans hated on this so much solely bc it wasn’t girl crush like Hobgoblin but I LOOOOOOVED this since the day it came out. So dreamy

I don't get why people don't like this side of clc... I really love this concept tbh and everyone looks so pretty here

it's a crime that this masterpiece has such little views :/ honestly, this has been my favorite title track by them since pepe, not to mention every song on the mini album was good. Smh clc is so slept on

People clearly don’t have taste. This is like an 80's ballad song which is really really nice to hear... Still streaming to get this to at least 2 million. Come on Cheshires, we can do it! It has so little views

the most underrated song in kpop history !!!!!!

This song will forever be one of the unsung crown jewels of Kpop. It is haunting in the best possible way.

Am I the only one who actually likes this song and the concept? zjjdjjdn, This is gold

As a Red Velvet stan, if they sang this song it would be a big hit. This songs a huge bop. CLC has everything from visuals to talent. Sad that people can’t recognize this

I will never forgive the kpop community for sleeping on this banger of a song

Why does koreans still sleep with this song? I heard some past releases are charting again on korean charts, I hope they discover this gem. This song was ahead of its time. Kpop groups releases retro songs nowadays.

CUBE WE NEED A LIGHTSTICK FOR CLC AND A COMEBACK

who's here after watching seunghee's rearranged version?

Those pale skins. Those blank stares. The water reflection at 1:16 I have a feeling this MV is telling us that they were actually ghosts roaming the garden.

Yujin ate this concept up

This song has such a 90s vibe and I'm living for it

CLC has literally done every concept and this is seriously my favourite. What did CLC do? *THAT! IM SHOOK*

Imagine if CUBE release Black Dress or Helicopter after hobgoblin area

WHY THIS SONG IS NOT FAMOUS, IT'S ONE OF THEIR BEST SONGS

I feel so bad for people that haven’t listened to this song... they’re missing out

THIS MV IS SO PRETTY IM CRYING

thinking about it now, if this was released in 2020 it would've became a hit. Especially since a lot of artists and groups are throwing it back and creating 80s and 90's inspired music. Sigh. I just wish people would open their ears and hearts to clc they deserve the world.

cube’s new management REALLY don’t care about CLC nowadays, at least they tried a little bit a few years ago

I still don't get why you want them to stick to only one concept. What even is variety and trying out styles? CLC is a fairly new group, of course they're shooting in the dark and exploring all possibilities that makes them feel comfortable. I'm not a Cheshire but I'm glad they're trying out styles, both mainstream and not. Cube is giving them all these options tbh

for people that say that this is a CUTE CONCEPT, the story of this MV and the lyrics have a dark and sad story, The girls first were happy because they waited for love for so long until they finally got it. This guy wanted to meet them on the same park as the music video, and the girls waited and kept waiting for him, but he never showed, that's why they say "where are you?" multiple times on the song. (In the chorus part). If you search the lyrics, YeEun's rap says: "without you, this has no sense". The girls then felt sad and they falled in depression, until they ended by taking their own lifes. AND THAT'S WHY they are like, so pale and also dressing up with just white clothes at the final part of the MV, which makes us understand that those are the girl's ghosts, waiting for the reunion with the guy that left them alone (wow it's been a year- anyways yea ill leave this as a theory because i went over the line with the depression thing)

Ok imma stream the whole Freesm album for CLC as a way to Boycott Blockberry Creative

this is one of the best songs ever made but people weren't ready for this

[EDITED TO INCLUDE RELEASES UP TO DEVIL] To those of you who say “ugh High Heel is stupid CLC doesn’t do cute” “ugh OT5 is better” “ugh” lemme explain this. All of the MVs have a story! And they show that the girls obviously aren’t great at being perfectly girly- no matter how hard they try. I’ll explain: the story of the MVs (not the actual lyrics, but the MV) Pepe shows that the original 5 are a group of friends, not interested in boys, just having fun together without influence of the outside world. Even if the confusing, Alice in Wonderland style, house, the girls are close and still figure out how to have fun regardless. Like shows Seungyeon seeing a cute boy for the first time, and becoming absolutely lovesick. Her friends stumble upon here and are confused about her behavior. When she explains, her friends are still baffled, but want to help her get the boy. So they try to track him down, and when they do, they get Seungyeon dressed up and does her makeup- buuuuut Seungyeon doesn’t know how to act in front of the boy, and ends up embarrassing herself. High Heel shows the girls, with the addition of two new friends, all trying to become girly-girls. It shows the whole process of them learning to bake and make tea, try to learn how to do cute makeup and hair, walking in high heels... but they all suck at it. Sorn and Seungyeon fall over trying to wear heels. Yeeun made awful tea and Macarons. Yujin getting the worst makeover by her friends. They all realize how much they don’t suit the girly style, but continue practicing because they want to be what they think boys like. In the end, they perfect the girly techniques- but find out how pricey (literally) being a girl is. No Oh Oh shows the 7 falling back into their old style, but still trying to be more charismatic in a girly sense. Sorn practices in front of a mirror different cute poses, but is clumsy. Yeeun seems to be wearing a big purse for the first time- and ends up getting the strap caught on a door. She gets flustered at her failed first attempt and is shown frustrated on her couch. Seungyeon cooks up a nice sandwich at home, and starts to bite into it- but hesitates. Elkie seems to try to be an edgy girl at school, although it’s not exactly her usual type. Yeeun burns her phone, realizing she doesn’t want to worry about getting a call from a boy. Seungyeon eats her sandwich, because she understands she doesn’t have to be tidy or stingy with food to impress. Sorn puts on bright blue mascara, because she doesn’t want to be a dainty girl who does poses- she wants to be bold. The girls finally start to understand that they don’t need to change who they are. Hobgoblin shows that, as the girls have gotten older, their style has matured as well. They like being bold, sensual, and dark- not dainty little girls who only want to impress boys. They seem to really throw that standard down the trash with this MV. After finding who they really want to be, they decide to break it to the world- crush stereotypes and say “we will be who we want whether you like it or not” and “want me for who I am, not who you expect me to be”. They all have weapons, and start destroying TVs, mirrors, busts, because they all represent things that society expects of them. TV has many stereotypes about Asian women, how they should act, hosts who pick on those who stray from the standard. Many girls stare in the mirror to pick on their own insecurities, and spend hours trying to “fix” what society has told them is wrong. The busts are of famous legendary women (I’m assuming), that are possibly symbols of purity, elegance, virginity. The girls destroy those to show that they’re breaking from the mold, and flowering into grown women tired of standards. Where Are You? shows the girls’ soft side, because everyone has one. The girls are still sensitive, and don’t want you to be too intimidated- because that’s not what their message is. They want people to realize that they aren’t just girly girls, or edgy punks, or tomboys. They want people to realize that they have variety, multiple colors, and while they were dark before, that’s just their style. They had to get your attention somehow, and show they are just any girl group- they’re CLC. They’re asking “where are you?” because after Pepe, when they changed concepts, so many people left and ignored CLC. Hobgoblin came, and while many people loved it, there were still those who complained because “they can’t stick to a concept”. CLC wanted people to understand with this that they’re are very versatile. While they are independent, they’re still sensitive, and hear what you say about them. Black Dress shows the girls’ peak maturity. It’s another sensual and dark video expressing the girls’ growth. They don’t care to impress anymore. Eunbin pole dances, and while usually pole dancers are performing for strangers to entertain- she’s performing for her friends. She knows she doesn’t have to impress them, because they’re already close. She’s simply expressing her artistry and her friends are admiring her. Yeeun stares in the mirror at her hair- not because she’s wondering if it’ll show her femininity, but because she’s wanting to cut it all off. She worries at first because she knows society will correlate her cutting her hair, as cutting off her femininity. So she waits, probably for advice from her friends. We see the girls walking around with scissors, black feathers, both considered a bit intimidating. There’s another female bust that ends up getting covered in black paint- another symbol of purity being diminished because a girl doesn’t have to be pure to be good. Yeeun gets the push to go to the mirror again, and although I said we weren’t looking at the lyrics, in her rap she even says “why are you hesitating, follow your instincts” right before she makes the initial chop. Distance is the other side of Black Dress- the girls are confident in their concepts, and love their evergrowing fan base. But, they can’t help but wonder, are they really doing what their fans want? They can’t help but want to do what others want, despite how much they themselves love their work. They still feel tied to their past criticisms, as shown by the girls being bound. “I try to ignore it.” They try to look away from the hate, though, by blindfolding themselves and sticking to each other. They’re human, though, and words hurt, no matter how much they distance themselves from it. No comes after the girls have contemplated everything, they’ve sat and thought about the words of their fans and critics alike. By now, they’ve fully accepted that they aren’t going to adhere to what others want. They aren’t going to make themselves fit into the tastes and expectations of others. “What I do with me is my business, I love me.” CLC is tired of trying to wear “red lip, earrings, heels” what everyone wants them to. They’ll wear these things if they please, and so they do- but it’s only for themselves. ME further goes with the theme of No, showing CLC’s confidence in experimenting with their concepts and appearances. They’re basking in their new love for themselves, and they’re telling everyone that they’re nothing wrong with liking yourself and calling yourself beautiful. “Do it like me, follow me follow me.” The girls are telling their fans, audience, and even critics that they should love themselves as well. Devil is playful, teasing, fun, on the surface, but it’s got a much deeper message. “I tried to be polite, but why do you keep bothering me?” Critics are still there, although much less than before, and the girls are questioning why these critics are still bothering to try to intimidate and provoke them when it no longer works. By now, CLC is done being sweet and polite to these people. They’re ready to tell them what’s what, and that they’re no longer going to appear cute. The video shows the girls tricking each other, hurting each other, but then getting revenge in return. They’re basically saying “you might push me down, insult me, and say I’m no good, but you’ve truly just made me stronger, and I’m not going down without a fight”. The story so far is that CLC doesn’t dress to impress anymore- they do what they want and enjoy what they do, but still want people to understand that they have feelings. They listen to criticisms, and take it to heart, but still want to be individuals with their true personalities. They acknowledge the girly concepts were confusing and awkward, because it’s not what they wanted to do. They knew typically people loved the cutesy concepts, and wanted to try it- but it was obvious it wasn’t their style, so they went back to their roots of dark and sensual. When people complained of yet another concept change, they had to explain that they were listening. Then shown that this is just who they are- versatile girls who love the boldness of being unique individuals. -Syno

literally no one: ppl born after 2000: omg this gives me so much 90s vibes!!!!!

I hope everyone sees this and vote for Choi Yujin at Girls Planet 999.

insane how in 2017 clc was given two title tracks in a row that would pass as 2022 releases

I don't understand why so many people hate this song. This is just the definition of beautiful!!

*FLAWLESS. SOPHISTICATED. CLASSY. ELEGANT. BREATHTAKING. MATURE. PASSIONATE. NOSTALGIC.*

Yujin really ate this concept up. So pretty

I cant believe people actually hate this song

Unpopular opinion: it’s their best song

People with taste: *watches this in 2020*

one of my fav title song... just wrong timing.

Thanks to someone's worst songs list, I discover this awesome song and add it to my playlist.

No matter what everyone said, i truly believe this is one of the best songs of clc and even kpop itself

I hate all these fake fans that only supported clc during hobgoblin era. "OhMyGOd ThEyRe sO TaLEntEd iM GOnNa StAN FoRevER" but it's just they change the concept and...

Where are you? 1800 days ❤️

Come on Cheshire, let's make "Where are you" reach 3M 😭🥺

sorry but this comeback was superior, the taste, the visuals, everything it's perfect

Its so bad that the whole fandom, say that where are u is an underated bop, but we don’t stream, the mv is stuck in 1.9 mlls of views, we need to wake up 🥺

this song was a cultural reset but aint nobody know that

This song was just released in wrong timing :( in only they release it now it would hit big

Who is still listening to this amazing song?

I like this soft concept, it's calming and good for my eyes

The most underrated song of whole KPOP

i can't believe everyone slept on this song, y'all are tasteless (well except to the current 2.2 mil viewers and commenters here)

SORN'S "I never knew" IS BEAUTIFUL

Best songs of CLC ever but nobody know

i miss you yujin

Yooo only 2m?!? How? This is a certified bop

People really out there complaining about this concept saying Hobgoblin was better and completely ignoring the fact that Pepe exists? I love this song and the concept, it suits them and they look really elegant.

Stop sleeping on "eodiya" she deserves better

It’s about to be 2022. Y’all still need to rerelease this song.

I miss you eunbin

so many of y'all uglies commenting! I too payed attention to CLC when Hobgoblin came out, but it was obvious they weren't going to keep that concept. To the people complaining about the badass concept, did you purchase that album? Did you stream it? The badass concept didn't do well in Korea so, cube wasn't going to keep doing something that wasn't working for the girls. Now if that concept had broken chart barriers and sold even more copies, maybe then we could have talked about unexpected change of concept. This concept isn't even a "cute" concept which you guys like to label on every single girl group. Just because they have on girly clothes and soft styles does not automatically mean cute. This is an 80s style song, that is feminine but does not use aegyo, or cute poses. Also the girls vocals can be heard well. They are not high pitched in a cutesy tone ex) OC 'Aing'. I love cute concepts but learn how to identify the difference between concepts instead of just labeling something pink "cute".

I think cube is trying to show what CLC is. Back when they debuted it was announced that they where the sister group of both 4minute and APink. And I think cube is trying to prove this versatility with the CRYSTAL(4minute) concept and this(APink) concept.

this song is soft and beautiful but also sad, the lyrics :(

the people were not ready for this

for the first time clc charted in 5 music charts for more than 12 hours IM PROUD

The Mv is so aesthetic. I am proud to say that I became a fan in the hobgoblin era but I think I love this concept even more and it suits them perfectly.

I remembered before, I dedicate this song to my childhood sweetheart before he got married hoping that he will notice my unrequited love

This song is a maserpiece, who misssed this, miss a big moment of life

This song is so underrated, STOP SLEEPING ON TALENT, I'll never stop saying this :))

am i the only one think's this is not cute concept but matured?

I can't believe I hated this song when it came out and preferred I Like It more. this is literally one of my favorite kpop songs

This song 어디야?(Where are you?) of CLC is such a hidden gem. The feelings it gives, the aesthetics, the vocals shown here cannot be found anywhere else.

I like groups that aren't afraid to branch out "Every adventure requires a first step"

Who's here after Seunghee redo their best work!?🙌

Happy birthday "where are you?" 🥰🤍

CLC OT7 FOREVER

y'all imma just say that if you don't like this song then you're free to leave this vid. clc is a korean group and has no obligation to appeal international fans more than korean fans. hobgoblin was lit asf, i loved it but it didn't do well in korea like many has stated so let's drop the shit and all of the "cube shoulda done this and that" because not everyone will be satisfied in the end. they're still a rookie group that's tryna find their special concept, let them.

If you really want CLC to be succesful don't only focus on youtube views, BUY THEIR ALBUM That's how you support your artist, if you can't afford it then focus on streaming it. Every bit of support counts, the album is actually really good, we can't let this flop guys

nostalgia

this is CLC best song, i mean... the vocals, visuals, the aesthetic, EVERYTHING is perfect such a same that koreans are sleeping on CLC... stream Helicopter

clc ahead of their time, everyone is releasing city pop retro concepts now 😌

Wig: Snatched Edges: Snatched Cancer: Cured World peace: Achieved

Since this isn't on spotify anymore... hello youtube, my old friend

fr where are you, clc TTTTT

Let's be honest, CLC would have been so big right now if Black Dress followed Hobgoblin instead of where are you

this song is beautiful. whoever says it's bad and not worth listening to should get their ears check... i mean are y'all okay???? how can you not love this absolute masterpiece???

The most underrated comeback

Happy birthday to ELKIE.
