Try harder, Buzzfeed

If you said Hyuna's "Red" and "Dirty Vibe" by The Unholy Alliance*, you're right. According to Buzzfeed, at least.

Yes, Buzzfeed chose those two MVs as the token kpop entries in its list of "33 Wonderful Music Videos From 2014 You Need To See."

Oy.

First off, fuck that headline. I hate everything about it. I don't need to see any music videos. And neither "Red" nor Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" should be described as "wonderful."

Second, those two songs? Seriously? It's like the writer equated "wonderful" with "most try-hard." Because that's what these videos are — the two most try-hard videos to come out of kpop this year. 

Now, I understand that for these lists Buzzfeed wants to include music from (a few) different genres and countries, yeah yeah that's great. But there are so many more interesting kpop videos from this year, like Seo In Guk's "Mellow Spring," Jiyeon's "Never Ever (1 Min, 1 Sec)," and even Red Velvet's "Happiness" (for better or for worse).

If I had to pick two kpop MVs from this year that people just had to see, my vote would go to these:
