Oh My Girl is finally back this September with their brand new single Remember Me and they are bringing a more powerful image with them aside from their usual girlish charms.

I have often speculated that this will be Binnie's turn to be pushed to the public after the success of Banana Allergy Monkey. Right from the opening lines you can see the Binnie centric MV and it is about time that she took this spotlight.

This MV also features the maximum utilization of Mimi as a rapper. There have been a lot of Miracles requesting lines for her in the past comeback, Well WM listened and if you look at the distribution of lines you can see that Mimi has about the same lines as rapper Le in EXID songs. A great improvement and her involvement in writing the rap parts of their songs shows her off maturity as well.

The song Remember Me has a different structure than previous OMG songs because of Mimi's utilization and it shows another side of OMG as well as their secondary voices in YooA , Binnie and Jiho all leap to the front. It is not saying that Hyojung and Seunghee don't have killing parts here. What is an OMG song without these two right? Seunghee and her killing parts are still there  and form such a wonderful melodic back bone.

The MV starts with a Satellite beaming a stream to a spot on earth.Like an Oh My Girl activation.  I wonder if the OMG Satellite is actually triggering Miracles to remember them? Well Miracles should come out droves to stream and vote now. Also the beam might be several things that point to past OMG MV's.   Here are the scenes that follow after that 

1) Binnie as a game show contestant , Jiho as host and some of the girls as other contestants? And if there was any doubt that this was not a Binnie Era type of comeback just look at the amount of scenes involving her and the game show set. Her and her fiery hair dominate. Binnie represent!

2) Mimi Driving a car , the same car that was in Closer , only cleaned up and going into hyper speeds.Some of the members also join for the drive. A wish that Arin made before. Miracles have not seen them go altogether on some sort of driving trip but maybe a reality show down the line can spotlight that.  Watch the Sliding Choreo when OMG responds with Oh! during Mimi's rap parts!

3) YooA running a refreshment hut in a small sand speck in the middle of nowhere. Where she waits for a ride on a cloud and  gets a ride on a balloon instead. The stop looks like a scene in Secret Garden and the balloon ride where she is riding a swing looks like it came from  Coloring Book. YooA and her brain her look so elegant in that Balloon ride which might make a record for prettiest rider in most unsafe Swing Balloon ride ever. Who cares about reality? This is YooA looking elegant among pink clouds!

4) An astronaut claiming what looks like the moon and is later to be revealed Seunghee. A funny scene with Arin and Jiho. It seems that even if Seunghee is conquering other areas the girls are there as well. More like a statement that the more Seunghee conquers so too does OMG conquer with her. 

5) Hyojung celebrating something alone until Arin serves her a lot of Fireworks and the other members surprise her with her appearance. Arin is trying a no bangs look in this comeback and some are commenting that she looks a little bit like AOA's Seoulhyun.

If you notice the 7 Million cash price in the game show. I guess it represents each of the 7 members.

Also there are scenes where they are looking up , I wonder if they are looking at YooA in her dangerous Swing Balloon ride or Mimi in her Hyper drive Closer Car?

I was watching the Choreo version of Remember and there were a lot of fresh dance steps here as well as a well balanced formation. I was afraid that with all the sexiness that was abounding in Kpop OMG will take already take this route and I am glad to have my fears allayed.  OMG stays true to their fresh and girlish charms even if they are going for a more girl crush concept in this comeback.

The ending of the choreo points back to Closer. In Reverse. Both formations have YooA in the middle linking the two differing songs. The opening of Closer points to a flower blossoming with it's petals delicately unfolding. While the closing of Remember Me offers a Flower now in bloom with all it's petal spread out and beautiful to see.

Hooboy. I just really enjoyed delving into this MV so much. I might have missed a few things but just the fact that I was able to see all of these makes me happy. 

I wish that Oh My Girl remains healthy this comeback and none of them get injured like Jiho has these past few months. I look forward to their wins and in the future where they take their rightful place in the Kpop Pantheon of Goddess level girl groups.
