south korea now is japan in the seventies.
this is their version of sailor moon meets g-force.
Too bad the Chinese guy with a knife in his head wasn’t wearing a Crayon Pop helmet.
woulda gone right through...
K-pop ping!
lol
It is weird what catches on sometimes.
Like PSY and “Gangnam Style”, one of my least favorite Korean songs/musicians.
This time the ECONOMIST highlighted Crayon Pop for being different. Oh they are definitely different. lol. If Girls Generation is a college band, this is their middle school sisters imitating them.
But not. They have a style all their own. I really don’t get the helmets, but it definitely worked out for them.
Oh goodness.
A sponsored helmet?
I don’t know if it qualifies as KPop since these people actually play their own instruments, but their music is prominent in KDramas.
I tend to favor the ladies in particular, and a similar search for LeeSA and JRabbit will bring up some videos that are almost as fun to watch as to listen to. The only words I understand are in the title, but the video always brings a smile to my face.

This one really illustrates J’s musical versatility.

Finally, LeeSA with her original composition from the I Need Romance 2012 OST, Have you heard?

Also, a youtube search for Me too, Flower OST and 49 Days OST illustrate some pretty darned good music from the drama series of the same names.
I won’t say I’m hooked on KDramas, but I haven’t watched anything without subtitles (except baseball) for almost a year now and once the World Series is over, so is my FIOS TV package.
I pretty much only watch subtitled Korean shows right now.
At the moment the series I am watching are “You’re the best, Lee Soon-shin”, “Gu Family Book” and “Unemployed Romance”.... next I will watching “Heirs” and who knows what else.
This one is kind of funny... by Big Baby Driver (and it’s in English)

I wish I could post the applause pic but I am at work. I agree with everything you said about how girls generation is the oldest sister of crayon pop! Lol
I also noticed that a lot of T-Ara music sounds similar, there seems to be some chords they just love to reuse. As if it is all one long song and different verses or something.
Helmets worked for these guys as well.
I knew absolutely nothing about Korean music until GeronL joined the Undead Thread and enlightened us. It’s a big ol’ interesting world out there.
I really liked a gentleman’s dignity, and this song as well. I think it’s a very good example of how good Korean pop music can be.
I generally wait for a series to complete it’s run because I like to marathon them.
I don’t know how many shows I’ve watched over the past year, but it’s been a lot. I generally decide which series to watch based on which actress I’m infatuated with. Right now it’s Song Hye Go and “the world that they live in”. Before that it was Lee Yo Won and Empire of Gold (5 star rating by me for melodrama).
Anything by the Hong Sisters, Kim Sun Ah or Gong Yo Jin. Actually, there are too many to name off the top of my head, but I don’t miss watching American TV at all.
me either
lol
