| I wouldn't describe that as dancing so much as advanced attention horing, though he's quite good at that. |

Okay, the clip played this time.
Oh yeah. The idol of every dongdaemoon nightclub tout or pizza delivery boy. Highschool dropout hits the big-time -- Intermission act at the strippy-girl adult cabaret & discotheque.
Korea's young male lumpenproletariat don't have a lot of interesting, highly rewarding things to do. Though this one may be onto something. 
The little kids there aren't brave, they just think it's a circus all for them. "Someone's putting on a show for us! We're being doted on again!!  " But you see their mothers all keeping a safe distance. And the shopkeeper ajumas walking around, dodging the camera, pretending they're not rattled. It's not the rap music or the dancing or the way he's dressed, it's the setting. It makes him _icky_.
Hopping around on the MBC stage, he basks in the blue, pink & magenta of acceptability and even fame. In a shopping mall, he's one step up from the legless panhandler on the subway, two steps across from the old men with pus-oozing facial disfigurements who hang out at wedding halls until the bride's family pays them to go a-way.
What was the... Right. Yes, Koreans can dance. |

Stunning. I couldn't understand the context, but I saw him as an artist. He's got a gift, and he's pretty chuffed about sharing it. He's a far better dancer than anyone I've seen yet on "MTV Korea" and he seems to love what he does.
If that's an audition tape, then I'd say it's brilliant. |

That was cutting edge a quarter century ago (I'm old enough to remember): breakdancing meet Buster Keaton meet Max Headroom.
Nothing special but it's nice to see Korean youth fooling around rather than just study and play computer games all the time.
(As for dancing... I have yet to see ANY Koreans dance. Aerobics doesn't count. Or maybe it should these days. But nothing I'd call dance I've seen in this country.) |

OP= Yes, you are easily impressed.
A dancer I am not, but I can appreciate some nice moves. That was pretty lame. Seemed quite basic (Basic in that it's nothing I haven't seen before) |

Who was the one who decided korean's COULDN'T dance? I recall seeing a bunch of about 10 korean guys doing some breathtaking breakdancing routines in Yongsan once.
Korea also won the 2005 team battle b-boy world championships held in London.
Maybe its just not as cool as the usual drunken swaying i see so frequently displayed by my fellow english teachers. |

This is one of my all-time favorite posts. Splendipidous.
As to the OP.. thanks for the clip; it was interesting. I could criticize, and say that he has watched too many 80s Michael Jackson music videos, but I can't do what he did. And it's fun to watch.
Can Koreans dance? Rhythm is not racist. �˾���. |
