Music Video: Ballerino by Leessang (feat. Ali), Directed by Ryoo Seung-wan

may be known as a blockbuster action film director, but for 's MV of “”, he shows a different side to his art, making an almost grotesque horror of sorts revolving around an obsessive love.

Ryoo Seung-wan's brother, actor , is good friends with Gary and Gil, the duo that form Leessang and has featured in three music videos for them. For this one, in addition to agreeing to feature in their video for the second time, he was also able to convince his brother to direct the MV.

“Ballerino” is from “Black Sun”, the fourth studio album by Leessang.

About the author

Rhythm Zaveri

Hello, my name is Rhythm Zaveri. For as long as I can remember, I've been watching movies, but my introduction to Asian cinema was old rental VHS copies of Bruce Lee films and some Shaw Bros. martial arts extravaganzas. But my interest in the cinema of the region really deepened when I was at university and got access to a massive range of VHS and DVDs of classic Japanese and Chinese titles in the library, and there has been no turning back since.

An avid collector of physical media, I would say Korean cinema really is my first choice, but I'll watch anything that is south-east Asian. I started contributing to Asian Movie Pulse in 2018 to share my love for Asian cinema in the form of my writings.
