something's trending and we need you to
see it is this a kpop thing this is a
kpop thing the band is black pink
probably the biggest girl group you know

only have one color guys
[Laughter]
black and pink I guess never heard of
them no never heard any of their songs I
know I've no idea who they are okay the
song is called kill this love
controversial yeah from the get-go

[Music]
Creed's really go all out with their
music video Sydney not messing around
crazy not messing around is that like
Tomb Raider she looks like Tomb Raider
alright maybe there's a theme
dancing on a bear trap there dancing
like that right
not to be recommended I would say
dangerous but to be honest they're so
small it would miss them
what do you think well the music video
is crazy
seriously Koreans music videos are a
chain but it seems as though maybe
they're saying that you're in love with
something that's maybe dangerous or
something that is destructive and in
order to get free of it you need to kill
this love and I suppose they're
comparing love with maybe more like an
obsession or an addiction rather than
her true love which is sacrificial and
self giving why is it cool at the moment
for light pop stars to be a little bit
like they're a bit sleepy did I mean
camera at the moment it's a bit like
okay hold up White Swan so Black Swan
white swans are forming a heart yes they
could be saying be careful yeah each
love has like a white a good side
there's also could be the dark side of
love she also starts that in a white
dress right that's not the same person
is the same person hearts and she says a
sweet hi and there's a bit of I um and
changes to the dark side then
so it's the serial heaven room yeah wait
for the titles of the serial oh really
sweetness love crisp killer so there's
all kind of like a sweet love I'm
getting some vibes okay you're getting
the buyers vibes vibes I think they're
saying this is like a false heaven like
a candy store like a sugar rush the
superficial highs that we go for that we
think will please us and bring us heaven
are actually once you get there waste of
time so there's all kind of like a sweet
love superficial infatuation yeah but as
a quick hi it doesn't run deep it
doesn't sustain you doesn't give you a
very successful Weetabix which is that
okay fiber
your reo
doesn't saying you feel bad for a
nutritional value that's true also leave
to heart disease in the long run whoa
deep heart disease oh yeah you need to
take gold pink black Pink's advice
sorry that's a good name
what is this car so that hang on that's
the same person right that's it so this
person is a white dress running away
from a car and I'm the same person
driving herself over I think she's going
to kill her former self right oh right
the number plate says Eagle the
something Freudian going on in Freudian
I know he uses a lot of
unconscious childhood emotions yeah well
I read some Freud University I mean it's
been a while so Freud understood the
mind as the it'd the ego and the
super-ego the eared represents like the
carnal self the primitive human and it's
characterized by like sexuality and
aggression so like infatuation your
desires right but that's competing with
the super-ego which is your conscience
and it's the more sensitive side of you
it's called super-ego that's the
super-ego well and the thing that like
mediates between those two parts of the
psyche is the is ego okay so like the
fact that she has ego on her car and the
ego is coming to kill her former self if
we're reading Freud into this I mean ego
is Freudian language right so you gonna
leave we're looking at
full-blown a pink right now these guys
they go deep with their music videos I'm
telling you
good because now I'm like I mean
get degree for doing this okay you go
chasing so she looks she control he does
look in control yes this looks like oh
yeah wedding dress almost this exotic
girl who's just had a bad decision I
need to bring an end to this love yes
kill this love and boom enter Tomb
Raider
Freud seriously here's a thought yeah
when I was at university I was like man
this is never gonna be useful
black pink black freaking pink well done
girls Wow just kill this love boom boom
explosions and in a corridor
so this is changing back Nelson on
Nelson's column
Aphrodite cuz Aphrodite is
goddess of love and
kind of sex the Aphrodite cult and
everything they'd kind of worshipped sex
in a way that met that distorted it's
Saint Paul writes about love and fame
chapter in Corinthians 13 where he
basically speaks against the false love
that is being propagated by the
followers of Aphrodite really yeah and
that is whole chapters about what love
is
love is patient love is kind it does not
envy it does not boast it is not proud
it does not dishonor others it is not
self-seeking it is not easily angered it
keeps no record of wrongs love does not
delight in evil but rejoices with the
truth it always protects always trusts
always hopes always perseveres love
never fails so sex is a beautiful thing
a god-given thing hopefully in the
context of marriage
I am a priest
obviously sexes is a wonderful thing but
anything good can also sometimes be used
in the corrupting way and and sex can be
used by people to manipulate man to
dominate and to oppress and sadly in the
world we live in that happens a lot and
it can be really destructive all right
let's go again
okay and the trap trap yeah it's in the
shape of a heart is it yeah did not pick
that up
love can be a trap not true love full of
remorse love this is what love is you're
learning still early we'll get there
okay
okay Koreans really go all out with
their music video Sydney it sounds like
they've had a lot of them have had some
quite destructive relationships
black/pink kill this love love was
thoroughly killed I mean it's running
over with a car yeah start with like a
fiery arrows boom Raider killed a lady a
Raider yeah
interesting yeah approve or disapprove
because I feel like when you pay me I
probably all this love you are like no
but kpop did it again well don't
kabletown's your then kpop quite a good
message really I think why what do you
think the message is a song I think
they're saying this isn't love they're
saying like we need to kill this even
this idea of love we thought it was what
we thought was love yeah but it's nice
to be killed kill popcorn love popcorn
love ya okay I need substance okay so
actually very deep it's nice to see an
industry at a superficial level seem all
about glitter and glam yeah but actually
the main stars like BTS and black pink
actually delivering some deep messages
seems about loving yourself yeah getting
out of bad relationships and finding
what is true love how so yeah well done
as a priest obviously you could
interpret it as being about like abusive
relationships or like negative
relationships you must have spoken to
people who are in difficult
relationships like what would you say to
any of our viewers who are in unhealthy
relationships or struggling with that
kind of thing the issues of the heart
are very powerful the Bible said love is
more powerful than death you've got to
protect your heart it's an important
thing in life that you can't allow
someone to tread all over it and
sometimes that cause for severe reaction
if you're in an abusive relationship you
need to actually get out of this quickly
the problem is a lot of people think
they're not worthy of good love so they
have this idea that oh I wouldn't be
able to get any better or I deserve it
and these are false lies and the truth
is you are a value you are worthy of
love and if someone is not loving you in
the right way then you need to get out
and you will be okay but if you need
help speak to someone those who are
struggling you're valued you're loved
and if your heart is broken it can heal
it can mend and you can find greater
love in the future so keep going and
those of you who need to get out
relationship kill this love person okay
all right this has been black Pink's
kill this love it got pretty jolly deep
deeds isn't a kpop exhausting
we'll see you Johnny soon
