Yes, definitely.

Yes, Feel My Rhythm is more than just a sampling of Bach's Air On The G String. It's more like a collab. Many parts of the Red Velvet song (e.g., the bass line, violin 2 line) are taken from the classical piece. I've listened to it for many hours and am still discovering things. For example...

I agree. A lot of those parking lot shots are amazing.

Kpop has a lot more quirks and musical changes than Western pop. With that in mind I'd pick these as representatives:

SM reminds me of those tech companies that have top level engineering talent but not enough business sense. We know what happens to firms like those --- cost cutting and layoffs. Or acquisition/merger. SM's artists and their music are great, but the way they schedule releases and tours is way...
