The drums come in on 'Let the drums attack' and go out on 'blackout': seven things you missed in TREASURE's 'SHOCK'

TREASURE's 'SHOCK' is a song where the lyrics put the sound to work. Say 'Let the drums attack' and the drums pour in; say 'blackout' and the drums go out. It's a digital single released at 6 p.m. on November 2, and the music video opens with a little over two seconds of silence. Every time below follows the official music video.

0:07 · The drums that come after 'Let the drums attack'

The song sings 'We gon' shock yuh' twice, then moves at 0:07 into 'Bang bang, Let the drums attack'. From 0:07.7, while this line is sung, the drums and bass drop out for 0.7 seconds and only the voice is left. The picture, where white powder had been bursting outward, turns into a person standing in a glass corridor at 0:08.6, right around when the drums and bass come back in together.

0:32 · One line borrowed from 1TYM

As YG introduced it (OSEN), the song carries lyrics taken from 1TYM's 'Hot 뜨거'. Lining the two songs up line by line with the Bugs lyrics, the only line with identical characters is 'Hot 뜨거 뜨거 Hot 뜨거 뜨거 Hot'. In the 2003 original, this line appears 23 times out of 72 lines, and the line just before its first appearance is '다들 아시다시피 우리 음악은' (as you all know, our music is). Other lines from the original, like '토요일밤은 언제나 Hot 뜨거' (Saturday night is always hot), weren't taken. In 'SHOCK' it comes four times, at 0:32, 0:38, 1:34 and 1:40, and the first two are a tunnel scene with sparks pouring down and flames shooting out. The lead photo is 0:38.

0:36 · The drums that go out on 'blackout'

While 'Hit 'em with a blackout' is sung, over the 2.7 seconds from 0:36.1 to 0:38.8, the drums hit just twice. The voice and bass carry on as before, so it's only the drums that have gone out. When the same line comes again, from 1:38.4 to 1:41.1, it's exactly the same 2.7 seconds, and the drums hit just twice.

0:41 · The 0.4 seconds of 'T-T-T-T'

As 'T-T-T-T Taser to your core' begins, the picture changes four times in the 0.4 seconds from 0:41.17. The order is a black screen, two cuts of a flame tunnel, a silhouette under a red sky, and flames shooting out. When the same line comes again at 1:43, lightning flashes twice, 0.26 seconds apart.

2:12 · 'We gon' shock yuh' sung without drums

The 'We gon' shock yuh' that opened the song comes four times in a row from 2:12. For a little over six seconds, from 2:12.5 to 2:19, the drums are almost gone and the voice and bass carry it, while on screen black silhouettes dance in a smoky tunnel. The drums come back at 2:19.

2:31 · '비싼' and '빡센'

From 2:31, 'I'm a 비싼 Animal' and 'I'm a 빡센 Animal' alternate four times (2:31, 2:37, 2:43, 2:49). The two words sound alike: 비싼 (bissan, 'pricey') and 빡센 (ppakssen, 'grueling and rough'). The song trades them back and forth, and its last lyric ends on the 빡센 side.

2:49 · 1.7 seconds with the instruments cleared out, and one last hit

From 2:49.7, while the last lyric is still going, every instrument drops out, and once the voice finishes the line there is almost no sound until 2:51. Meanwhile the picture moves from a close-up of the flame tunnel to a group dance under a foggy sky. At 2:51.46, the instant the 'SHOCK' logo appears, one last sound rings for about a second and ends.
