Fans Disappointed At How “Cheap” Kep1er’s Last OT9 Music Video Looks

Kep1er released their music video for the title track of their first length album, Kep1going On, on June 3. The “Shooting Star” music video featured a mix of dance scenes and visual effects highlighting their space concept.

Fans took to social media to proclaim their immediate love of the song, saying it is “fire” and “so good.”

They added that it was “easily their best title track” and wished they released it earlier in their career as nine members.

On the other hand, while netizens seemed to enjoy the song, the music video disappointed many of them. They wished that it “didn’t look so cheap” and wondered if the budget was cut.

The background in the Yeongeun‘s solo scene and other sets, for instance, seemed to lack the “wow factor” that they were expecting.

They also complained that it felt like a performance video and not a music video with how overwhelming the dance scenes were.

At the end of the day, they wished the music video was of a higher quality since “the members deserve” it. Following this comeback period, members Yeseo and Mashiro will stop promoting with Kep1er.
