All of the MVs have a story! And they show that the girls obviously aren’t great at being perfectly girly- no matter how hard they try

 

I’ll explain: the story of the MVs (not the actual lyrics, but the MV)

 

Pepe shows that the original 5 are a group of friends, not interested in boys, just having fun together without influence of the outside world. Even if the confusing, Alice in Wonderland style, house, the girls are close and still figure out how to have fun regardless.

 

Like shows Seungyeon seeing a cute boy for the first time, and becoming absolutely lovesick. Her friends stumble upon here and are confused about her behavior. When she explains, her friends are still baffled, but want to help her get the boy. So they try to track him down, and when they do, they get Seungyeon dressed up and does her makeup- buuuuut Seungyeon doesn’t know how to act in front of the boy, and ends up embarrassing herself.

 

High Heel shows the girls, with the addition of two new friends, all trying to become girly-girls. It shows the whole process of them learning to bake and make tea, try to learn how to do cute makeup and hair, walking in high heels... but they all suck at it. Sorn and Seungyeon fall over trying to wear heels. Yeeun made awful tea and Macarons. Yujin getting the worst makeover by her friends. They all realize how much they don’t suit the girly style, but continue practicing because they want to be what they think boys like. In the end, they perfect the girly techniques- but find out how pricey (literally) being a girl is.

 

No Oh Oh shows the 7 falling back into their old style, but still trying to be more charismatic in a girly sense. Sorn practices in front of a mirror different cute poses, but is clumsy. Yeeun seems to be wearing a big purse for the first time- and ends up getting the strap caught on a door. She gets flustered at her failed first attempt and is shown frustrated on her couch. Seungyeon cooks up a nice sandwich at home, and starts to bite into it- but hesitates. Elkie seems to try to be an edgy girl at school, although it’s not exactly her usual type. Yeeun burns her phone, realizing she doesn’t want to worry about getting a call from a boy. Seungyeon eats her sandwich, because she understands she doesn’t have to be tidy or stingy with food to impress. Sorn puts on bright blue mascara, because she doesn’t want to be a dainty girl who does poses- she wants to be bold. The girls finally start to understand that they don’t need to change who they are.

 

Hobgoblin shows that, as the girls have gotten older, their style has matured as well. They like being bold, sensual, and dark- not dainty little girls who only want to impress boys. They seem to really throw that standard down the trash with this MV. After finding who they really want to be, they decide to break it to the world- crush stereotypes and say “we will be who we want whether you like it or not†and “want me for who I am, not who you expect me to beâ€. They all have weapons, and start destroying TVs, mirrors, busts, because they all represent things that society expects of them. TV has many stereotypes about Asian women, how they should act, hosts who pick on those who stray from the standard. Many girls stare in the mirror to pick on their own insecurities, and spend hours trying to “fix†what society has told them is wrong. The busts are of famous legendary women (I’m assuming), that are possibly symbols of purity, elegance, virginity. The girls destroy those to show that they’re breaking from the mold, and flowering into grown women tired of standards.

 

Where Are You? shows the girls’ soft side, because everyone has one. The girls are still sensitive, and don’t want you to be too intimidated- because that’s not what their message is. They want people to realize that they aren’t just girly girls, or edgy punks, or tomboys. They want people to realize that they have variety, multiple colors, and while they were dark before, that’s just their style. They had to get your attention somehow, and show they are just any girl group- they’re CLC. They’re asking “where are you?†because after Pepe, when they changed concepts, so many people left and ignored CLC. Hobgoblin came, and while many people loved it, there were still those who complained because “they can’t stick to a conceptâ€. CLC wanted people to understand with this that they’re are very versatile. While they are independent, they’re still sensitive, and hear what you say about them.

 

Black Dress shows the girls’ peak maturity. It’s another sensual and dark video expressing the girls’ growth. They don’t care to impress anymore. Eunbin pole dances, and while usually pole dancers are performing for strangers to entertain- she’s performing for her friends. She knows she doesn’t have to impress them, because they’re already close. She’s simply expressing her artistry and her friends are admiring her. Yeeun stares in the mirror at her hair- not because she’s wondering if it’ll show her femininity, but because she’s wanting to cut it all off. She worries at first because she knows society will correlate her cutting her hair, as cutting off her femininity. So she waits, probably for advice from her friends. We see the girls walking around with scissors, black feathers, both considered a bit intimidating. There’s another female bust that ends up getting covered in black paint- another symbol of purity being diminished because a girl doesn’t have to be pure to be good. Yeeun gets the push to go to the mirror again, and although I said we weren’t looking at the lyrics, in her rap she even says “why are you hesitating, follow your instincts†right before she makes the initial chop.

 

The story so far is that CLC doesn’t dress to impress anymore- they do what they want and enjoy what they do, but still want people to understand that they have feelings. They listen to criticisms, and take it to heart, but still want to be individuals with their true personalities. They acknowledge the girly concepts were confusing and awkward, because it’s not what they wanted to do. They knew typically people loved the cutesy concepts, and wanted to try it- but it was obvious it wasn’t their style, so they went back to their roots of dark and sensual. When people complained of yet another concept change, they had to explain that they were listening. Then shown that this is just who they are- versatile girls who love the boldness of being unique individuals.
