Must-see MVs
Backstreet Boys' Nick Carter shows his sensitive side, Running Man's Gary impresses while Hollywood actress Rose McGowan goes creepy for her first single.
NICK CARTER
I WILL WAIT
Is it just me, or is Backstreet Boys member Nick Carter getting hunkier by the day? Now 35, the US singer exudes maturity and sensitivity in the video for his new solo acoustic number I Will Wait.
Playing the part of a narrator, Carter sings and plucks his guitar as the touching story of an elderly couple unfolds. The pair share a joke, they laugh, they dance. At the end, the woman dies with her loving husband by her side. Time to bring out the tissues.
GARY FEAT. MIWOO
GET SOME AIR
Korean TV personality Gary cuts such a hilarious figure on popular game show Running Man that most people forget how credible and talented a rapper he is.
One-half of hip-hop duo Leessang, Gary's latest solo offering is slick and cinematic, with scenes of Seoul's urban landscape shot in black and white. The plot is simple but relatable: A heartbroken man goes for a long drive to the countryside in an attempt to forget his ex. Cue the tears.
ROSE MCGOWAN
RM486
The Hollywood actress' MV for her first single is not for the faint-hearted. It is creepy, eerie and extremely weird.
That said, if you don't mind the shock factor, RM486 is a mind-blowing piece of art.
McGowan takes on several outlandish personas, including "Alien" (she appears hairless and white), "Needles" (she's armoured with spikes) and "Red Glitter Bomb" (her entire face is covered in shimmering red paint). She wanted to challenge the definition of beauty and she certainly has achieved that.
