[Korean Culture] One GANG a day l Rain Effect

Rain, a very famous singer in Korea in the early 2000s, released a song called “GANG” in 2017. However, the song was ruined by public criticism.

The reason was that although his dance was very good, the lyrics were so cheesy and straightforward. And the times were changing rapidly, and in Korea, idols came up. He is now the head of the agency, but at that time he was a losing star.

But in 2020, something crazy happened. The number of views in his GANG music video began to explode. A high school girl parodied it and suddenly caught the eye, and people began to come over and over again, shouting out “One GANG a day.”

The comment box in the music video is a big festival of humor. There were so many witty and funny comments, and people gathered more explosively. The number of views, which was initially 5 million, is now surpassing 15 million in a short period of time.

The period of self-isolation increased during the Corona, so people watched more, and parody videos exploded. It’s a lot.

Nevertheless, there has been no response from the singer himself for a long time. However, he appeared with famous MC Yoo Jae-seok in May 2020, accelerating the trend even more. Accepting criticism and responding leisurely with humor have attracted a great deal of people. There are a lot of responses that say, “He’s a big man.”

Then, his juniors even made the official parody music video. Even the RAIN appears here. I personally like to hear this song. And he’s taking this opportunity to appear on so many TV shows and YouTube. There is no one in Korea who doesn’t know RAIN & GANG these days. I hope this information is helpful.

Peace is up to you :0 Good luck!

[2020 Voice Korea] Artist Kim Yeji “ALL TURN”

I brought a video of songs that will make me feel better today.

This time, on a Korean music competition program called Voice Korea, I’m going to introduce a woman who has captured the hearts of judges at once with an incredibly attractive voice and a feeling of intoxication with music.

Her name is “Kim Yeji.” She majored in vocal at a university famous in Korea. They sing songs such as K-pop or pop songs, not opera or vocal music. Look at her expression. It’s like a drunk. She must be drunk with music.

So I looked up other videos, and I was even more surprised.

BLACKPINK – Whistle

The climax is amazing. She also sang pop songs such as “When we were young” and “Mamma knows best.” I like Jessica’s “Mamma knows best” best.

I found her YouTube channel.

I think she’s already a great artist. I hope her song will be known to many people around the world. I’m sure you’ll fall in love with it.

Peace is up to you :0 Good luck!

[K-pop Girl Group] “Oh My Girl” – Nonstop (살짝 설렜어)

I watch these three videos when I have a hard time studying these days.

I hope it helps you, too.

Oh My Girl – Nonstop (살짝 설렜어)

They appeared on a Korean entertainment show, “아는형님,” and released a new song. The group is composed of seven members: Hyojung(효정), Mimi(미미), YooA(유아), Seunghee(승희), Jiho(지호), Binnie(비니) and Arin(아린).

In this video, I fell in love with Hyo-jung. Look at that video! In 00:32~00:34, Hyojung comes out. She is so pretty and so cuteeeeee. ahahaa

She’s so cute when she winks. Not only she but also other members are pretty and talented.

Powerful Dance Time: Mimi & YooA

They dance very well. I’ve watched it so many times.

Seung-hee imitates with facial expressions

It’s so, so much fun. She’s very good at imitating others. I laughed too loudly in a quiet place while watching this. 🙂 ahahaa olalla

I hope these videos will comfort you when you don’t have much to laugh at home with the corona.

Peace is up to you :0 Good luck!

[Mnet K-POP] Queendom : Comeback Battle

Queendom (Korean: 퀸덤) is a 2019 K-POP television reality program that aired on Mnet, starring Park Bom (박봄), AOA (에이오에이), Mamamoo (마마무), Lovelyz (러블리즈), Oh My Girl (오마이걸), (G)I-DLE (여자)아이들.

The concept of program is a comeback battle between 6 K-POP girl group acts, in order to “determine the real number one” when all 6 release their songs at the same time.

There was a lot of controversy in the beginning because this program maybe encouraged war between K-POP fandoms. However, as the episodes went on, it became more and more heartwarming as they discovered new charms of each idol.

I watched a video while eating today, and I couldn’t take my eyes off it.

The last performance is great, but the first performance is really great.

Dancing in a group suit is also cool, but the scene where dancers appear in the middle is fatal.

Mamamoo makes good use of each color. This team won. yeahhhh 🙂

It’s a novel concept. olalla

The performance was worth seeing. I hope they don’t get stuck in the frame of being an idol and make good use of their strengths as an artist.
