A room changes in the 0.04 seconds the bass comes in: seven things you missed in JISOO's 'ADDICTED' video

JISOO's digital single 'ADDICTED' had its music video uploaded to JISOO's official channel at 8 a.m. KST on October 30. Over its 2 minutes 59 seconds, every lyric is in English, and the lyricist field on Bugs lists Austin Nicole Wolfe and Tiina Vainikainen alongside JISOO. There are several moments where the picture changes at the exact spot where the sound changes, so keeping your ears and eyes open together shows a lot. Times follow the official music video.

0:26 · Eighteen seconds with no bass

The voice comes in at 0:07, but for the next 18 seconds there is no bass. At 0:26.5, the very moment the bass first comes in, a pink-toned close-up turns into a red hexagonal room. The gap between the sound and the cut is 0.04 seconds.

1:04 · How a black blotch becomes a cat

At 1:04, a silhouette holding a feather fan stands against a white background. At 1:05 a black blotch lies on the floor on each side of it, and at 1:06 two cats are sitting where the blotches were. At 1:06.8 both cats rise onto their hind legs.

1:07 · The same line, and the second time it empties more than twice as much

'I don't understand it, but I'm giving into you' comes up twice. The first time, at 1:07, the drums and bass drop out for 1.5 seconds and then return. The second time, at 2:07, the bass drops out for 3.6 seconds, and for almost all of that time the picture is a single wide shot of a person lying on a red leather sofa with pink fabric flying around. That's the scene in the lead photo. The bass comes back at 2:11 on 'Now you got me so addicted'.

1:31 · The poster's curtain, the video's curtain

In the poster released on October 25, a face peeks out from the edge of a black, glittering curtain (Topstar News). In the music video at 1:31, a silver sequin curtain parts down the middle, and a face shows in the gap for about half a second.

1:54 · 'Starting to lose control' and the heart wall

While 'Starting to lose control' plays at 1:54, the picture moves from a silver-curtain room to a wall packed with heart-shaped bulbs. In front of it, a person sits on purple-lit water.

2:06 · Cat ears and a glittering necklace

At 2:06, a person appears in a cat-ear headband and a glittering necklace, and at 2:16 a real black cat appears wearing a similarly glittering necklace. At 2:19 a purple cat's eye fills the screen, and inside its vertically split pupil stands a tiny person.

2:56 · 'ADD|CTED'

At 2:56, as the song ends, the bass cuts out first and a title logo appears on a black screen. Where the I would be, only a thin vertical line is drawn, so it reads 'ADD|CTED'. The logo on the poster has the same shape, and the name beneath it is 'J|SOO' too. Apple Music
