I've been forgetting to keep up with the South Korean pop-scene. Its one of the most edgy pop scenes in the world. Yesterday I met up with a South Korean student friend and we had a talk about contemporary life in South Korea. He suggested I look at this 2012 song. I should explain that the SK pop scene is likely the most competitive in the world. The owners (usually companies) will do anything to peddle their latest production.
So here's a few clips piggy backing on Troublemaker.
If the production makes the grades(and my friend suggested it was a big hit) there will be other versions.
and, the temptation is there (as elsewhere, to make them even sexier).
and, competitors make parodies.
And what was the twist that made TROUBLEMAKER so popular:
Simply that the "girl" was another boy.
The parody (above) came from a group that specialises in parodies, and I think the parodies, (taking the piss out of SK life) are the best part of the scene.
Here's some more parodies (not related to Troublemaker).
