It’s a bonkers amusement park with goliath inflatable cones, cotton sweets houses and monster cherries – an intricate, saccharine visual dining experience that changes similarly as fast as the fashion on show.
The video comes graciousness of chief Seo Hyun Seung, who has worked with various striking K-pop groups, including 2NE1, iKON and Big Bang, and has a propensity for vivid, whimsical sets.
