<p><strong>K-pop</strong> remains one of the most diverse genres in today’s global music landscape, home to countless groups that each bring something unique to the table. But in such a wide and competitive industry, similarities inevitably arise among artists, which only highlights the importance of standing out. </p><p>For a K-pop group to truly make its mark, it needs a distinct identity that fans can easily recognize and love, and this is exactly what <strong>BADVILLAIN </strong>has been establishing since its debut.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:959px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1761621739869metro talks badvillain 1.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo courtesy of BPM Entertainment</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>The rising K-pop girl group under <strong>BPM Entertainment</strong>—<strong></strong>the same agency behind VIVIZ, Taemin, Lee Mu-jin, and actor Lee Seung-gi—has been making waves for their visually stunning music videos and powerful stage performances. These elements, according to their growing fanbase, have become BADVILLAIN’s main identity and source of charm, solidifying their place in the ever-evolving K-pop scene.</p><p>Recently, these identities took the spotlight once again through their comeback single “<strong>THRILLER</strong>,” which dropped on September 15, 2025. The track perfectly captures BADVILLAIN’s edgy musical direction, blending a hip-hop foundation with a dance-forward style, pairing a stripped-back instrumental with a catchy hook that instantly commands attention.</p><p>In line with their comeback, the group—composed of <strong>EMMA</strong>, <strong>Chloe Young</strong>, <strong>HU’E</strong>, <strong>INA</strong>, <strong>YunSeo</strong>, <strong>Vin</strong>, and <strong>KELLY</strong>—also showcased a daring new element in their choreography: a heels dance. This bold artistic choice not only challenged the members but also added a new layer to their fierce and charismatic image.</p><p>“Our team is perceived as a group with fierceness and charisma. Along with that charismatic image, we have tried a new style of dance, called heels dance. And I believe it sort of birthed yet another new version of BADVILLAIN,” shared <strong>EMMA</strong>, the group’s main dancer.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><iframe width="925" height="525" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/s-KjDJFOh5s?si=E06ygijHjEj6sD8_" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><p>Echoing her thoughts, vocalist <strong>Vin</strong> emphasized how the inclusion of this new dance genre elevated their comeback to a whole new level. “Heels dance, combined with the unique color of BADVILLAIN,“ according to her, “create amazing chemistry.“ </p><p>However, while the result turned out seamless, learning to perform in heels was no easy feat for the members. <strong>INA</strong>, the group’s dancer and rapper, recalled their struggles at the beginning of their training process.</p><p>“It was difficult! It was definitely a rocky start for us as well. We were like baby giraffes on heels - wobbly, wobbly. But I feel like we caught on really quickly. And although we felt like little infants trying to learn to walk again, we eventually were just running around in heels on the music video set,” INA revealed.</p><p>Meanwhile, <strong>HU’E</strong>, the group’s vocalist and dancer, admitted that they initially felt nervous about whether they could pull off the new choreography.</p><p>“This is our first time trying a heels dance genre, so, obviously, we were a bit worried at first, ‘We need to make it look amazing, but can we do it well?’ But, as INA mentioned, we learned it quickly, and all seven of us gathered up and practiced really diligently, and I think it was an amazing experience for all of us,” she added.</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DOL0DsJk8uA/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=810&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A7436724.699999988%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>On their secret to quality music videos</strong></div><p>For powerhouse girl group BADVILLAIN, the secret to maintaining the quality and creativity of their music videos lies in balancing fun with professionalism on set. </p><p>Since their debut, the group has become known for their visuals and sharp choreography, where their dynamic camera work and performance-driven storytelling truly stand out.</p><p>“When the camera isn’t on, we are quite playful, and we talk a lot, we play around on set together. However, once the camera is on, we instantly become highly focused and deeply engaged, which allows us to become completely immersed in the track. And then we can get fully absorbed in the performance, that’s my favorite quality of our members,” shared <strong>Chloe Young</strong>, the group’s leader and main rapper.</p><p>To illustrate this teamwork, the group’s maknae <strong>KELLY</strong> shared how their mutual support plays a big role during filming. She reflected on their latest comeback music video, “THRILLER,” emphasizing the importance of cheering each other on during solo takes.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><iframe width="925" height="525" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jZ5IoxGW48o?si=yOU8-xiV6caT-2fW" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><br/></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><iframe width="925" height="525" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CW2g-yu77eA?si=KeoMKkm74-fNXpww" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><br/></div><div><br/></div><p>“While we were recording and filming the music video for ‘THRILLER,’ we had more opportunities to film scenes all together, so, if one member was recording, the other members would give their full support to her, and we shared many moments like that,” she said.</p><p>She also highlighted how open communication contributes to their success. “There were times when a member would ask, ‘How about doing this part this way?’ and we’d say, ‘Sure, let’s do it that way.’ By listening to each other’s feedback, I believe we achieved a better outcome,” she added.</p><p>When asked about their favorite among their own music videos, six out of seven members chose “THRILLER.” They shared that the project showcased a new side of BADVILLAIN that fans hadn’t seen before.</p><p>As EMMA shared, “Because it shows our usual strong performance, but in a genre we have never tried before. So I believe this has made the synergy effect even stronger. It showcases a new side of us, I think.”</p><p><strong>YunSeo</strong>, on the other hand, picked ”<strong>ZOOM</strong>,” saying, “First of all, it is filled with amazing CGI and captures the expressions and gestures unique to BADVILLAIN well.“</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1761622868230metro talks badvillain 3.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>On their great stage performances</strong></div><p>Beyond their amazing music videos, BADVILLAIN also continues to impress with their powerful live performances. According to Chloe Young, both the management and members make sure every stage is carefully polished, especially when it comes to choreography.</p><p>“For a strong output, we take great care of details in our choreography, for example, we would screenshot our training video to see who is out of sync, or did not match the angle in a certain position, and try our best to improve the quality of our performance,” she explained.</p><p>She emphasized that every small detail matters, adding, “We do this because we believe that these minor details add up to the image of BADVILLAIN, and we will continue to strive to present new sides of BADVILLAIN.”</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Below, watch BADVILLAIN&#x27;s Metro.Style exclusive interview and see them react to the music videos of BINI for &quot;Shagidi&quot; and SB19 for &quot;Dungka!&quot; </strong></div><div style="text-align:center"><iframe width="925" height="525" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/v9EJQTo3qbA?si=vhqXAy9G1mZ6sJjN" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><br/></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><iframe width="925" height="525" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zv9j4EY4uV0?si=O6N-QJkyc3tqD9wa" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><br/></div><div><br/></div><p>Photos courtesy of <strong>BPM Entertainment</strong></p><div><strong></strong></div><p>Coordination by <strong>Grace Libero-Cruz</strong></p><p>Metro Talks video editing by <strong>Kaila Bergonio </strong>and <strong>Tricia Matias</strong><strong></strong><strong></strong><strong></strong><br/></p>
