TOP Media's new group UP10TION is a 10-member boy group focused on having members that can participate in all areas of the entertainment business. They are described as "having all talents for idol groups including singing ability, performance, visual, acting, and entertaining sense" (source). They have finally released their long-anticipated mini album titled "Top Secret" with "So Dangeous" being the title track.
The track starts out with strong synths similar to 2NE1's "I Am the Best", but implements different chords to twist it into a melody reminiscent of Middle-Eastern music. The bridges lose that melody and in favor of lighter synths and a more booming bass line. The rappers are also introduced in these sections, one of which has a surprisingly deep voice compared to the other members. Following the bridge is the chorus which features a memorable chant and dance from the boys.
Along with production quality, the music video editing is something worth noting, featuring various transitions between outfits and displacing members in and out of frames. Although UP10TION is just a rookie group, they have the potential to become big contenders in the K-Pop world if their future songs and videos are of this standard. 3/5.
