I was just watching Kpop’d on VH1 India- which is a half an hour segment with- you guessed it right- kpop songs!

My dad came and sat with me and asked which country were the boys in the song from. And I said S.Korea. Then he asked if they are models or dancers, and I am like “both”. And then I told them they are singing the song too. Cuz you see- Bollywood has back up singers and we are used to that.

And then he went like “wait, so they sing, dance and look like models?? Woah that is some talent! And this video is so colourful. Weird, but colourful. Nice.”

The song was- EXO’s Ko Ko Bop!

Excited, I showed him Winner’s ‘Really Really’. His reaction? “well they look good and they sing amazingly… but they don’t really dance- they are just moving. And why is the video so black and white.”
It’s not the first time I have cursed Dave Meyers and YG for chosing Dave Meyers to direct the MV for RR 😛

But, yay for some progress!
(Also my mum loves Winner’s ‘Fool’, so double yay!)

      Nah his interest was temporary!
      He doesn’t yet know how addicted I am with K-ent and I would like to keep that hidden for as long as possible! 😛

      Noooooo you haven’t!
      Or did you?
      But yes Fool is brilliant!! I wonder if you have heard their new Japanese songs “Have a good day” and “Raining”- they are more along the tone of ‘Fool’

        I did.. I think! Didn’t we talk about these two songs when i was watching WIN?

        I haven’t, I used to watch a lot of Japanese anime series so the songs feel cartoonish to me, I’m weird I know!

          Oooh yes! I remember that is where you fell in love with iKON! 🙂 Did you ever manage to check out the last ep of WIN? :p

          Hhahha… so those songs don’t really have a music video.. they were just released for the Japanese album without much promotion but both of those are brilliant songs!

            Yes, and yes I did, not very long ago, their last performances were so so good, I knew who was going to win yet I was so nervous and I totally didn’t cry! 🙈

            Actually, I went and checked them out after your comment, I think I might like Have a good day if I keep listening to it, kinda a wish it was in Korean!

      All the performances were great that night! Climax was amazing and I totally had goosebumps but Team A’s “Go Up’ was my favourite with its amazing lyrics!

      It was written and composed by Mino- most probably about a school friend and later kpop idol who passed away in an accident. And I really wish they release the Korean versions in the next album.. . Apparently it was made in Korean around 4 years back but only saw the light of day now.

        They were and I loved them all, they all felt so desperate, I’m glad both groups are doing so well now!

        Oh, I didn’t know, that’s sad. Yes, I do too, I think it could be one of my favorites if it’s in Korean!

    I’m just so shocked to read about the Bollywood back up singers!! Whaaaat!? I was always so amazed by the dance/sing numbers…

      Hahhahahaha yeah! You never knew?? You thought all those ppl were singing those songs? Nahh..

      Bollywood is not like those Broadway musicals 🙂 We have background singers who are amazing! Indian music industry is a lot different cuz singers don’t (or can’t- cuz they won’t sell) put out their own albums… There are movie music albums… Though I wonder if song albums even come out anymore… I am a lil out of touch with Indian entertainment industry 😛
