Hyuna and Hyunseung are back, and they're nothing but trouble.

After two long years, Trouble Maker finally came back with a new release, "There Is No Tomorrow (Now)." The song, about a passionate couple with an uncertain future, is enjoyable. It's not as catchy as the group's debut, "Trouble Maker," but it's a decent listen.

Let's be honest, though: The song really isn't important here. As with most post-Wonder Girls Hyuna releases, it's all about the visuals. Trouble Maker in particular exists as an excuse to show this:
This groping-in-the-car scene is integral to the meaning of the song.
With that in mind, let's talk about the video. In this department, "Now" exceeds expectations. After seeing the teasers, I was hoping for something skanky and fun. And how, it delivered. I mean, it's Hyuna in a dirty trailer, for goodness sakes.

Genius
Behind all the sex and skank, though, is (something that could almost pass for) a story. A story about love. The song depicts the volatile relationship of two troubled souls, played by Hyuna and Hyunseung (duh). It's got that whole doomed union thing going on. Hyuna and Hyunseung aren't meant to be.

The video opens with Hyunseung in bed with his gun, his white girls, and his pile of money. He drinks. He smokes. He sleeps around. I'm sure he doesn't floss, either.

The couple bounces between extremes. One minute, they're steaming up the windows in their love nest, the next, they're getting into an actual physical fight.

As the story progresses and the couple falls more apart, so too does the video. We're treated to this odd scene of Hyunseung having visions of himself as Joker in the bathroom.

There's also this nonsensical scene with the duo dancing while two racecars drive around them.

In the end, nothing's really resolved, but again, that doesn't matter. What we all should take away from the viewing experience is this:

Maybe she just isn't his type.

Enter Hyuna: She drinks. She dresses provocatively alone at the club. She defaces property.
Vandalize me, scandalize me
Being in such a sexy and exhilarating shitty relationship, the two, naturally, turn to destructive pastimes as means of escape. Hyunseung shoves his hoes off the bed; Hyuna cries in her pile of unopened Budweisers.
I don't want to say this music video was sponsored by Anheuser-Busch,
but I kind of think this music video was sponsored by Anheuser-Busch.

I couldn't make this into a gif, so just imagine how the shoving went.
You've all been shoved before, right?

Deep revelation about the couple's circle of abuse
or an excuse to show cool cars?

Hyuna pulls off Trailer Trash Chic beautifully.
BOTTOM LINE: The song is aight. The video is delicious.
