Ken gives a rare wide smile, and the internet goes wild 😂

he should really smile more, though. it looks good on him 🥹

OHHHHH how come i’m only seeing this now 🤩

Has everyone enrolled in Canva University? Bachelor of Arts in Mahalima* Design?! 🙋‍♀️👩‍🎨 Pardon this Godmother Puregold who’s a newbie to the app 🫨😜 #Puregold #AlwaysWinning #SB19xCanva #Can #CanWithCanva

*Mahalima = mahal (love) + lima (five). Beloved five. fandom nickname for the boys

an upper eyelash fell off... measured it out of curiosity. can't get it to lie completely flat and straight on the surface, so I can only estimate the actual length to be around 12-13mm

.....

both groups are very supportive of each other, so I can never understand why their fandoms keep fighting amongst themselves. there's literally even no competition because it's a girl group and a boy group. people who want to hear women singing can go to BINI, while those who want to hear men can go to SB19. the music they make are also different. SB19 is more experimental, while BINI is classic and familiar romance pop.

Finally properly listened to their new song, and.... XONARA really are the SB19 daughters agdjsghjf

these lyrics:

We goin’ all the way up We be crimzone-in, hearts ablaze, yuh

they’re referencing their dads’ Crimzone song here 😂 and istg Pablo’s songwriting style is becoming the 1Z trademark. his influence is so obvious here and in J2X’s Edewup.

on the song’s lyrics as a whole, it’s an okay follow-up on their debut song, Tabi. If Tabi was announcing their arrival, then Pula is showing their friendship and how they’re gonna work together as a team. both are not much of a statement, but for a new group, they’re very solid records.

the choice of rnb for the second song is also a good way to show the range of their vocals. Everyone’s voices shine more equally, especially Ella’s. In Tabi, her voice was often drowned out by the loud instrumentals. but perhaps the vocals are also too equal, coz now I’m having a hard time differentiating them from each other. I have to listen very closely to identify who is singing which lines.

now, on the MV itself...

seeing this tv is giving me flashbacks of Ken being stuck in one the whole time in the Lawless MV 😭😭😭

the whole Pula MV seems to have been shot in the same place as Lawless, just different set designs. it reminds me that, despite everything they’ve achieved in the industry, 1Z is still a very small company with a limited budget (so much so that fans are even thinking of fundraising for an SB19 music video 😭). I also wonder if the black car in the Lawless MV was just repainted to red so that XONARA can use it in theirs 😂

Dominique’s hair and makeup also look better on her. (here’s a little secret: I share similar facial features with Dominique, so I just kinda intuitively know what would look good on her 🫣). Makeup that draws attention to the eye area alone is better than having her entire face share equal emphasis. So, intense eye makeup + muted cheeks and lips.
