K-pop continues to dabble in the occult, as former Wonder Girl Sunmi offers up a music video for the title track off of her new album "Full Moon," released earlier this week, that has both the darkness and the epic romantic flourishes of one of the "Twilight" films.

From Beast to Exo, many of K-pop's top groups have drawn in aspects of vampires and werewolves to their videos to great effect.

Yet, very few of them get to work with a talent on the level of Brave Brothers. And South Korea's greatest producer is as innovative as ever on "Full Moon."

Combining Sunmi's haunting melodies with the good time retro hip-hop vibes that have taken him to the top of the pop charts, Brothers once again makes a song that just feels good to listen to.

But it would be misunderstanding the achievements he has made in an infamously restrictive music industry to simply describe Brothers off as another hitmaker.

Rather, he is the rare artist that appears able to attract popular support by just doing exactly what he wants to do.

And speaking of misunderstandings, despite a Billboard article to the contrary, Sunmi does not play a "twerking vampire," in the music video for "Full Moon," as the headline screams.

She is most likely a vampire, we see her apparently bite a man in the video, and turn him into a paranormal creature. Yet, at no point do we see Sunmi with fangs in the "Full Moon" video.

But more importantly, when exactly does she twerk?

Note to Billboard columnist Jeff Benjamin: THIS is what twerking looks like.

At what point did you see Sunmi even do the Miley Cyrus version of twerking in the music video for "Full Moon?"

Maybe Billboard gets a different edit of these videos.

But all twerking aside, for all it's dark imagery in what is a visually arresting clip, the best thing about the "Full Moon" video is the song itself.
