Creative Uses Of Food In K-Pop MVs

With the recent release of EXO's 'Cream Soda' talking about how the feeling of love is the same as the fizzy that is Cream Soda (the innocent version of the meaning, that is), we've come to realize that there have been some K-Pop music videos that heavily feature food, even when the song does not really talk about food as Cream Soda did. Here are some music videos that creatively used food to symbolize different things.

GOT7 – Just right

This list would not be complete without this well-known GOT7 music video! It's not only cute and funny, but tiny GOT7 appearing in bowls of cereals and candy has its meaning. Expressing the song of telling their listeners that they are "just right" just the way they are, GOT7 is doing just that, especially in a world where young girls are often anxious about what they eat; GOT7 is here to tell you that it's okay! 



Woosung – FACE

We can always count on Woosung for a meaningful song and creative music video. In the song, food is used as a metaphor for describing falling for someone, so the metaphor is visualized in the video in such a cute and fun way!


Red Velvet – Peek-A-Boo

Being a group with a food-inspired name demands some gastronomic representation, and these girls have been serving plenty. In their latest video, they've chosen pizza as their motif, creating an intriguing visual contrast with a pizza encrusted in sparkling jewels. The sharp, glinting stones juxtaposed with the pizza's traditional round shape conjure up an unsettling atmosphere. Further amplifying the narrative complexity of the video, the quintet gets involved in a playful chase after a pizza delivery boy - a lively embodiment of the cat-and-mouse dynamic depicted in the song's lyrics.

TXT – Can’t You See Me?

The song itself conveys an inherent sense of eeriness, but the accompanying music video amplifies this feeling to an even higher degree. The video commences with benign scenes of indulging in cookies and strawberries, creating an air of innocence. However, this tranquillity quickly devolves into pandemonium, with strawberries being blended without a lid and characters drenched in the vivid redness of squashed tomatoes. These stark transitions certainly signify deeper implications than mere culinary adventures, adding layers of intrigue to the narrative.

woo!ah! – Danger

Talking about how they're in danger of being in love, they used sweets and candies to describe the sweetness of the love, and being trapped in a land full of candies is certainly dangerous! Sugar rush and candy overload sounds a lot like being down bad in love.
