Putting all the thought into the concept and none into the song

Anyone else find it funny that you have some deep ass concepts in kpop but there's zero effort put into the actual song? You have groups coming out with a Greek Mythology concept and based on the props and poses we can deduct x is Zeus and x is Hades and whatever or a concept based on a classic piece of literature like Wuthering Heights or a play like Othello, or a chess board concept and blah is the queen and blah is the pawn, but when the song is released it's "oh boy yeah, wow wow, love love, you make me tremble, uh huh" and "yeah girl, uh bad girl, you're gonna be my one and only, oh yeah bang lang dang WOOOW"

Just.......why? Why are they putting so much effort into creating an elaborate concept when the song brings nothing to the table? And even though I like some of those songs I gotta say the basicness of the end product is hilarious with the amount of thought that went into the concept.

Thank you

I don’t give a rats ass about a concept like what do I get from an aesthetically pleasing and unique concept that’s not what I’m listening to I’m listening to the SONG

either give me both a good concept and song and if you can’t just give me a good song

Which songs are you talking about? just curious. 

For example the Really Bad Boy teasers were pointing to a chess board concept and the fandom was into it and it was pretty cool reading about it........but the song......yeah.

They were? People were saying Halloween or horror at the most.

Halloween/horror is the overall theme they're going for and they had different sets of teaser images. This is from the set that lead to the idea of the chess board.

Hmm sorry. I don't really see a chess concept. More like a royalty/princess/jewels concept from this image. IDK

But it just those one set of teasers not a recurring thing in their teasers to me.

That's one image. There's obviously would be more to it or this wouldn't have become a thing.

The thing is there are parts in the MV that do correlate with that concept but the overall thing is all over the place along with the song.

I mean yeah it's a couple scenes with the chessboard but those images never made it seem like it would be a main thing to look out for, the overall theme to me was horror. And, I guess the chessboard in the video could be viewed as them playing with the werewolf and trying to get away for him, but ehh.

It was just an example. My point, using RBB as an example, is using those images and the idea they conveyed created a deeper concept that the end product, both song and MV, didn't live up to. So what was the point of that effort when it's clear no effort was put into what mattered at the end of the day, the song.

I never thought of a deep concept though, didn't even cross my mind once so I think RBB is a bad example to use. xD

The song focused more on singing abilities and the sound imo, looks like they spent all their money into that and very little into lyrics laugh.png not sure why though, probably cuz SM is a mess sometimes

Yeah no offense but sometimes I feel that SM takes these wonderful demos and kind of inserts kind of whatever lyrics in them. I find that this is especially the case with their English lyrics like in Baby Don't Stop.
