The main character ( Eunchae ) who has recently ended their relationship with their boyfriend a few weeks prior starts feeling lonely, so lonely she starts to dream about her ex-boyfriend. In her dream, however, it appears as if he was the one who disappeared on her when in reality, she had broken up with him. As time passes and she deals with her loneliness, she sees an attractive man and tries to engage interaction with him. Eunchae starts to obsess over the man, creating fictational interactions in her head as she plots ways to engage contact with him. Eunchae eventually manages to successfully meet the man she has been pining for and they eventually fall in love, becoming closer and happy with one another.
However, their happiness together is only short lived as the boyfriend starts to realize that there is something off about Eunchae, something dangerous. She seems different than the woman he fell in love with. Not in the obvious ways, but in ways that remains alarming. It is soon revealed that Eunchae suffers from dissociative identity disorder, also known as DID, and one of her personalities ( who reveals herself as the name Kokoro ) has been killing off Eunchae’s love interests.
It is during this time that Eunchae becomes aware of her other personality and discovers what Kokoro has been doing when she is in control ( which is a big reveal from the beginning of the album; the reason why her ex disappeared in her dream is because Kokoro killed him, but Eunchae believed she had broken up with him via text ) By the end of the music video, Kokoro has killed the boyfriend. After discovering the horrible things her alternate personality has committed, Eunchae is battling with herself in what to do: turn herself in or keep it a secret. Eunchae comes to the conclusion to keep her dirty little secret, but she is in control. Learning confidene from Kokoro, Eunchae branches out on her own and seeks out her own targets, rather than Kokoro influencing her like past victims. Eunchae finds them their victims while Kokoro takes care of them.
In the year of 2012, Creep’s Kokoro had originally debuted as a soloist. However, due to her teaser’s lack of popularity, assumed by poor promotions of her label at the time, she was pulled back and later placed into Creep for a second chance. In 2013, Kokoro’s life as an idol began, even if it wasn’t the way she had originally wanted it to. Ever since, there has been mostly radio silence from Creep’s Heart Eater, aside from the occasional feature and modeling gig outside of her group.
However, it seems like she is here to make a comeback, debutting as a soloist once more under REM Entertainment, a sub-label under Phantasia Entertainment. News of her debut was taken by a storm, igniting excitement among Aliens and other fans alike.
And it seems like Kokoro has spoiled her fans with not only with one music video releases, but two ( Kokoro and Good Girl Gone Bad ). There has been rumors buzzing about the community about some kind of project Kokoro has been working on with this release, which hasn’t come into light until the day before the release.
As it turns out, there was limited help from professionals during the making of the music videos, filmed by and assisted by students of Seoul National University. Actors ( under-rated and semi-well known ), trainees, and students were given a chance to partake in the creation of her album. And all songs were written by her and produced by her, she had Rien feature as an actor in one of her music videos and even assisted her in the production.
Here are a few words from the idol herself:
“The entertainment business is harsh and brutal. You either make it or break it. I am one of the lucky few who was given a second chance when I was lead to believe that I was not good enough. While it is unrealistic to think that I can prevent everyone who was involved in the making of my album from feeling the same way that I did years ago, I hope that, by being involved in my album, it will open up many, many doors for them in the future.
I did not become an idol with the dream of being a performer, so I entered this world not knowing what I was capable of. But during my time here, I have learned that connections can get one very, very, very far. And while I do not want to seem arrogant, I would like to think that my time with CREEP has granted me some kind of credibility. And I would like to use said credibility to help aspiring artists such as myself.”
Kokoro’s track named after herself featured both her and Rien in the music video, Rien acting as the romantic interest following the story line. In the second music video, it is revealed that student Lee Jun helped film both videos. Members of CREEP made a feature in the video itself, as well as Yoo Theodore of Legion Entertainment.
It is also rumored that the title track ( Good Girl Gone Bad ) doubles as part of an intricate story line, but as a diss track toward her old label that had done her wrong.
Wow, she did that!! I was so excited to hear she was debuting on her own! I love CREEP, so much talent!
How come there are so many people featuring in this? And she wants to call herself a soloist? What a joke!
I remember her from before she joined Creep .. I was so excited for her, and then, poof! She was just gone. I’m glad she was given a second chance.
I really like what she’s trying to do here with her album. This is supposed to be her time to shine, but here she is, helping other people instead. How truly selfless!
The Creep girls look so good in the Good Girl Gone Bad M/V!
COSMO!! SHE GOT TO WORK WITH COSMO!!! THIS ALBUM IS GOLD ALREADY!
She did that!! My girl did that!!!
Yongguk? As in BANG YONGGUK? Their voices sound really??? Good together?? How did she manage to work with someone so talented!
