TWICE& #39;s lack of a legit creative director has never been more obvious than in the ICSM MV. In an era where the styling& #39;s finally close to perfect, the HMU stunning, the choreo amazing and the song being probably the best title track of their transitionary period, the effort put..

Inb4 the "you don& #39;t like anything, you& #39;re ruining the comeback, etc.", I do like a lot. As stated above, I absolutely love the styling, hmu the song and choreo this era. It& #39;s just the MV..
