Hi guys, I didn't upload content these day because I busy with my coursework. Today, I decided to upload the upscale I do for the first time with it's original Bugs video, which is aespa's latest song 'Black Mamba' music video. aespa, which is a newly debuted group at Nov 17, 2020, consist of 4 members which are Karina, Winter, Ning Ning and Giselle. Black Mamba is their debut song. Check out their music videos at YouTube! Spoiler: aespa 에스파 'Black Mamba' MV Note: These upscales are not intended to look like real 4K, it only expand the pixel more clearly than normal resizer, so it will look better on 4K screen without using internal resizer of the device (TV) which may improve/degrade the quality based on what algorithm they used and I didn't apply any sharpen filter, so it will look like the same as Bugs version with 1080p screen. I haven't compare this to YouTube/ Naver 4K, if you found out that this look more horrible than YouTube/ Naver 4K, feel free to tell me to remove this post as it's poorer quality.
