"Hip-pop Princess" revealed a teaser for the music video of its title song, kicking into full gear toward its first broadcast.
On the 13th (today), Mnet's Unpretty Rapstar: Hip-pop Princess (hereafter "Hip-pop Princess") released the music video teaser for its first track and title song, "Do my thang." Under the directing of main producer Gaeko, the explosive potential and energy of the Korean and Japanese contestants stand out, raising expectations to the fullest.
"Hip-pop Princess" is a new Korea-Japan joint hip-hop girl group debut project presented by Mnet. Aiming to create a new global hip-hop girl group, the contestants participate directly in all processes, including music, choreography, styling and video production, showcasing their own colors. Through hip-hop as a medium, Korean and Japanese cultures, which differ from each other, collide and fuse, and the contestants are expected to create a new culture and grow into artists with distinct identities.
The released music video teaser features the addictive melody of the title song, "Do my thang," and captures the confident, bright energy of the "Hip-pop Princess" contestants. Their individual, distinctive styling such as wide denim pants and a free-spirited yet hip atmosphere catch the eye. In particular, the overwhelming scale presented by the 40-person formation dance and the ending performance of snatching a necklace reveal "Hip-pop Princess"'s unique identity and worldview even in the short 30-second clip, further heightening anticipation for the first broadcast.
Gaeko, who joined "Hip-pop Princess" as the main producer, reportedly personally directed the recording of this title song to enhance its completeness. Gaeko said that he was impressed by how the contestants did their best even within the short parts they were assigned. He noted that it was interesting to see each participant's strengths revealed in just a few bars.
He added that the contestants looked like unmistakably innocent teenagers offstage, with innocent and clear expressions. He expressed the hope that they would not lose that pure, bright energy until the end, drawing attention to what kind of shining possibilities might be discovered.
Meanwhile, "Hip-pop Princess" will hold the first global online vote from 12 p.m. today (13th) until 12 p.m. Oct. 24, Korea time. Voting is available via Mnet Plus in Korea and global regions, and via U-NEXT in Japan. Having previously released videos such as self-introduction cyphers that offered a preview of the contestants' personalities and skills, all eyes are on the voting results determined by fans around the world.
"Hip-pop Princess" will premiere on Mnet at 9:50 p.m. (KST) on Oct. 16 (Thu), and will be broadcast simultaneously in Japan via U-NEXT.<
