Kim Jongmin is back with a new solo effort

[I thought I had published this like a week ago but I apparently did not lol]

On September 3rd, Kim Jongmin dropped the MV for his solo comeback "살리고 달리고 (Sali Go Dali Go)."


Previously, the Koyote member had released two solo tracks, "Oppa Find Strength" in 2011 and "Pit-a-Pat" in 2012. But "Sali Go Dali Go" is his first legitimate comeback since "Oppa Find Strength."

The song is catchy and a good dance tune. I have no real complaints about the song, to be honest. I like it. I've listened to it a ridiculous amount of times in the last few days, and I am still not sick of it. It still makes me want to dance every time. Let's be real, you're not really going to get a good review out of me since I am very biased towards Koyote, and I personally love Jongmin's voice. But even so, the song has a good trendy beat and humorous lyrics.

The bigger draw, however, is the music video that accompanies the song. To step up the comedic value, Jongmin enlisted close friend Cheon Myeonghun to appear beside him, and the MV captures the various antics they're up to from a children's park to a nightclub. Comedian Ahn Youngmi also made a cameo but probably could have been utilized better, though. Nonetheless, it's very funny, playing off of the lyrics, showing Jongmin go from a hot commodity with all the ladies fawning over him to a dork getting drinks thrown in his face.

As how I am a Myeonghun superfan, I of course must comment on Myeonghun in the MV. What a hottie~ And as expected, he brought the lolz~ The scenes on at the playground were adorable, and he channeled his old burden boy image for the night club parts. Plus, Myeonghun in a suit is something I am very, very interested in. But overall he complemented Jongmin very well.

On September 4th, Jongmin made his comeback on M Countdown~
