Alright, I'm cheating a little - this is a dance-only version; but, in my defense, this showcases how tight their dancing is. These 7 guys have incredible precision and the scorpion move? Absolutely breathtaking. The green lighting is pretty cool/badass as well, if you ask me. — youtube.com

This one is quite different than what you typically think of from a K-Pop video - one long, panning shot, black and white cinematography, and minimal choreography. However, it's totally beautiful and its simplicity is a lovely compliment to the song and makes it a fresh breath of air. — youtube.com

A lovely poppy, sweet song - so what makes this K-Pop video so special? IT'S BACKWARDS, PLAYERS. They had to learn the lyrics in reverse to film this, which is nuts. Also, having the guys in white clothes and white rooms makes the colorful objects pop out - visually very dynamic. — youtube.com

The strange allure of this song will draw you in, and you'll definitely try the deceptively hard dance moves for yourself. The makeup compact dance is a keeper for the clubs - add it next to your 'lawnmower' and 'pepper grinder'. — youtube.com

Admittedly, this music video is pretty heavy on the eye candy, but it is a crazy catchy dance beat from one of the most influential K-Pop groups to date. Despite them breaking up, this song from almost 7 years ago still could get the club jumping. — youtube.com

Despite the beginning 'lore' that almost makes sense (no, it still confuses me), this video is packed full of goodness. Crazy tight dancing, moody dark lighting, shiny pants, and 12 guys with different elemental powers? Plus a mad-catchy song (with some atrocious Engrish that you will grow to love) to go with? I'm all about it. — youtube.com

The minimalistic set? Ideal. The 12 person choreography? Killer. This one is a winner from start to finish. — youtube.com
