Staff Picks: Best MVs of 2015 (Second Half) 

Staff Picks: Best MVs of 2015 (Second Half)

After choosing the best MVs in the first half of 2015, the staff members at allkpop went on to choose the best music videos in the second half! The year was a blur with all the dating scandals, debuts, and more - but the crazy (good) music releases are what always has the K-Pop fans coming back for more.

Check out the staff picks for the best MVs of 2015 (second half).

Clever use of using "Honey" Lee and bees for an MV titled "Honey" Jam... and a Big Bang parody to boot. Nice, simple, and funny MV.

I was torn between MAMAMOO and Wonder Girls, but I definitely choose Wonder Girls because their comeback was highly anticipated and the MV is just full of color and chic styles making it a sensation that I feel my eyes can\'t look away from.

Jenny: BTS \'I Need U / Prologue / Run / I Need U (Japanese version)\'

I lumped all these together because they\'re all connected. I\'ve already written out my very long theory for this MV here; also, I feel like after watching the Japanese version of "I Need U" I have to correct myself because Jin is very much dead in that version and I\'m pretty sure all these MVs relate to one another. I\'m not going to comment much more about this because I wrote an entire feature on it haha; just know that I love it! Anyway, if I could\'ve picked two, I would\'ve picked

If you love adorable things, you\'ll love this MV. It literally portrays difficult relationship questions and answers (which I must admit, I wouldn\'t even know the answers to some of these questions). Plus, you have the good looking and endearing Seventeen boys. This MV is hands down one of the most notable MVs of the second half of 2015. And who can forget to mention Ailee\'s voice? YASS.

Elisa: The MV was the perfect amount of quirky, artsy, cute, and funny. Most music videos are by default visually pleasing, but I felt the "Twenty-three" MV went the extra mile to represent the song\'s lyrics. IU also did a great job with acting that added another level to it.

Jennifer: I was stuck between IU\'s "Twenty-three" and another MV but ultimately settled on "Twenty-three." I chose it not only because the MV is a fun spin on an \'Alice In Wonderland\' theme but also because it\'s refreshing to see IU explore her maturity through experimentation with music. The IU of "Twenty-three" is certainly not the same IU of "Good Day"--bashful, somewhat timid and unsure of herself. In "Twenty-three," IU is still a bit unsure; however, she embraces the unknowing with welcome arms, allowing in equal parts her split identities as a grown young woman and child define who she is.

In this song, Super Junior singer Kyuhyun unleashes his amazing voice, but it was the tear-jerking mini-drama in this MV that captured my attention. The plot is simple: two tourists keep bumping into each other in Switzerland with romantic implications. Go Ara puts in a heart-rending performance amid dazzling vistas and cute moments in this must-see video.

Jessica: GOT7 has slayedd their comeback this second half with a revamped image and sound. The boys have finally thrown away their boyish, falling head-over-heels concept and are now the angsty teenagers. What\'s really outstanding in this video is the transition in setting when Jackson falls in and Yugyeom comes out. The color grungy/vintage color scheme, the men in black outfits, the fisheye lens they used, everything about this MV was perfectly calculated and executed. Aside from my being a huge fan of GOT7, it was refreshing to see the boys make a transformation in image. 

Will: The emotions in this music video feel so real. The reason I love this music video is that it supplements the already emotional track with visuals and imagery, making the song even more powerful. My favorite feature of this music video is how they showcase each member being destructive in his own way — giving the music video individuality and personality.

This is a badass dance video with CL and her group of swagtastic backup dancers. It\'s fierce, it\'s sexy, it\'s badass.  If G-Friend\'s "Me Gustas Tu" makes me feel like a young girl again, this makes me feel like a grown woman ready to kick some ass, don\'t no one go messin\' with me. The MV is a joy to watch over and over again because they are so full of confidence and natural swag that it\'s entertainment at its finest.

MINX prove they are the \'BO$$\' in latest dance cover

Oh Min Suk and Kang Ye Won talk about their hot calendar shoot on \'We Got Married\'

I like CL\'s MV too bc it\'s simple, yet you can still feel the attitude and confidence of the girls~

May i know why is that CL crap on this list and not the beautiful Taeyeon - "I".? 

Hongki\'s \'Insensible\' was really good doe ;<< //just my opinion ofc// but it made me cry with Park Shin Hye\'s acting >A< ~ Anyone with me? lol

lol CL\'s is not even a real MV just a dance performance video xD but nice to see that she slays even that xD

ehm.....i still don\'t see SHINee\'s  Married to the music here......

I really liked Dumb Dumb by Red Velvet\'s MV. I was the Dumb Dumb Factory Doll for Halloween! I thought it was strange but a good, interesting strange. It had a Happiness era vibe. Out of these, I have to agree with the BTS MVs. Got me crying :,0

4 walls and Q&A are so aesthetically pleasing, you can\'t deny it. 

my vote for GOT7 If You Do, too.. everything about IYD, MV Music Vocal Rap Outfits Acting and Live performances are really good, i wish they\'d release this cool and mature concept again

allkpop stuff choice is (as walways) highly questionable.

its there opinion lol its questionable until ones bias is on the list.

@lovelyailee its questionable, because you can see that in every "staff choice" its a subjectiv choice, not an objectiv one. :) this is a "news site" and everything here should be handled in an objectiv way.

@ani07 well it\'s "staff picks" they never claimed it was going to be objective choices. staff picks are always the staff\'s opinions. they didn\'t say they were the best MVs ever but that they are the best MVs TO THEM personally

Im probably the only person that thinks CL\'s music video is basically shit, literally just people dancing. 

@msCorby she put literally no effort into her music video compared to other artists, they dont sleep for 3 days straight to get the mv perfect. Also her dancing is really shit, if im staring at your back up dancers then sorry you shouldn\'t make a mv based on dancing.

Well no shit, it\'s a dance performance video not a music video. This was put together in 1 day cause it was a gift to the fans. The fact that you think that in order to have a good mv you have to stay up for 3 days is fucking funny tbh. I think one of cl\'s main problems is ignorant fans like you, always comparing her newer stuff to kpop, it\'s obviously not kpop. Don\'t expect polished music videos and robotic dances here hun lmao. But ya know, an opinion\'s an opinion, just trying to provide another side to the argument cause it\'s actually pointless to compare American releases to Kpop, the whole purpose is to not have it as polished.

"you are not alone..." *queue Michael Jackson song*

I also thought the choreography was shit it was just a bunch of thrusting and twerking and a couple hair flips.

@Thesonejack The problem is that she\'s on a list for best kpop mv\'s of 2015, and it doesn\'t deserve to be on the list, if this was best kpop dance preformance videos of 2015 then yeah MAYBE she should be on the list. by the way, this is still kpop, it is still 100% korean pop who the fuck are you kidding?, and i never said that in order to have a good mv you have to stay up for 3 days, you should stop assuming shit and actually learn how to read :) there are artists who put a shit load of effort into their mv\'s that are not on the list and this bitch is just shaking her flat ass in front of a camera along with some other people, rapping about some mediocre shit and all of a sudden that\'s one of the best mv\'s for 2015 ! funny !

Good choice: UI\'s Twenty three is one of the bests this year!

Out of these, for me, it has to be CL. Though the song wasn\'t to my likng at first, her swag and charisma completely won me over.
