But of course, TOP’s blue hair (and doing the dougie) brings it all home. And the video gives me all the LOLs, considering New York was picked as a filming location because of its bad reputation.

This song is very similar to group member Taeyang’s Only Look At Me - a song from the perspective of a boyfriend who wants to cheat, but wants his girl to “only look at” him.
So in all - a really great catch that she should run back to immediately after this latest breakup. So what makes this bad boy bad? He is ill-tempered, starting fights with his girlfriend, blows off dates, clingy, and claims that his “good girl” girlfriend is the only one who will understand him. Of course, BigBang would want to get on this trend, considering the way BigBang overall has a playboy/fun-time image. At least bad girls aren’t killers like everyone name-dropped by the narrator (except for Gordon Gecko!). Bad girls are defined as rough girls rather than angels. He only likes villains in popular culture rather than heroes– and likes bad girls. (There is also a mention of the villains from the anime Death Note and Monster). The narrator compares himself to an amazing array of Western villains to prove that he is a bad boy - Tony Montana, Bane, Hannibal Lector, Dexter, Gordon Gekko, Vincent & Jules, Magneto, Don Corleone, Loki, Tyler Durden, Kaiser Soze, and Darth Vader. Of all of the songs here, this is the one that takes the furthest step to say that bad boys are antisocial and not to be trusted - in a fun, rap, teenage bravado way. It might also be due to giving everyone in the band, including the bass player, an odd solo.Ĭonsidering there isn’t an official video, a live performance is the best I can do. The lyrics don’t actually call the band “bad boys” because what seems to make them “bad” is that they are interested in a one-night stand, for the usual “until the break of dawn” timeframe. Overall, party time, yo, and have a good time. Because bad girls are just wrong!īecause the visuals of the music videos usually support the lyrics, demonstrating how “bad” or “good” someone is, I’ve tried to include mostly the original music video. Overall, the message is - being a bad boy is something that can be excused, despite how controlling he can be, and being a good girl is right. (Left off is Kahi’s Come Back You Bad Person (2011) because I couldn’t find a good version with an English translation, for example.) But the genres covered include mainstream kpop, as well as ballads and rap. I needed to stop adding songs to these posts because there are just so many songs with this theme - there are nineteen songs in these two posts. And strangely enough, there have been plenty! This post covers Bad/Good Boy songs, so if you want the Bad/Good Girl post, go here. To get things going and to contextualize how gender and sexuality are commonly portrayed in K-pop, we’ll be discussing how Kpop dichotomizes gender and sexual behavior through songs called either Bad/Good Girl or Bad/Good Boy in the past couple of years.
We will also write about the switched gender songs from live performances, like award and variety shows. We will be writing about several women performers and G-Dragon & TOP from BigBang to start.
