All the detailed descriptions of the beatings and circumstances

Viewers can tell that Mamamoo went for a natural and raw music video and the group did a wonderful job making conveying that.

Beckman himself said he wanted this work to be looked upon as a large modern history painting tinged with a sense of evil. Three men have invaded the room and are terrorising

I am really grateful I attended the concert because
