The dance reminded me of a section of this one a bit.

The second video looked like they'd cloned that guy from the village people. I'm sure it'll be a huge hit. Flashmobs, the lot.

“When Sony Music Entertainment officials went to Korea in July to explore the music industry, they were inspired by the creativity and uniqueness of the group. They saw market potential in the group’s content, so they decided to pursue a contract,” a Sony Music Entertainment representative said.

“Signing up with Sony Music Entertainment will play an enormous part in Crayon Pop’s growth,” said Hwang Hyun-chang of Chrome Entertainment, which represents the girl group.

The group is planning to perform abroad with the help of Sony Music’s global network.

"Asia- the continent that rhythm forgot." PJ Orourke.

After that, I'll be listening to some Zeppelin to cleanse my sensibilities.

It's slightly creepy how Korean males gets infatuated each time a new young Korean girl group Pops (see what I did there?) up.

If it isn't on my FB feed from a friend back home, then it ain't internationally big. That's my standard.

For me, mainstream Korean music begins and ends with Jaurim and Seotaji.

Oh and this guy:

Kpop isn't even just bad anymore...it's just stupid. Would someone give this country some drugs and a guitar?
