But they dont.

Over a decade before Psy and Gangnam Style went viral around the world there was Lee Jung Hyun with WA.

Do you know this song? Lee Jung Hyun was a huge star and this song went viral in Asia in 99.

She seems familiar. Like I've seen her in acting somewhere.


She's super pretty. I looked her up.

Honestly this is what I wish more modern kpop did.

More stuff that overtly incorporated more traditional elements.

Like her her dress and fan. The mixture of the traditional and new.

This style and overall feel is what originally got me in to kpop. It's so weird and alien to me that its fascinating.

But like you've mentioned several times in your threads kpop has lost its original charm cause it now wants to be 100% Western. It's not special anymore.

Noy traditional but just retro.

But my favorite release of the year.

Have you heard it yet?

Never heard of her or the song. : / Back back in 1999 I wasn't listening to music.

Yeah I did and I loved it too. JYP himself is a first generation artist just like Lee Jung Hyun. The song and video was a lot of fun.

I saw all the backlash about the collab with Sunmi and the age difference. But here's something I dont think people understand.

JYP first and foremost is an artist. A musician. That's his passion. He still to this day enjoys making music for himself as well as others. So for this particular song he made a smart decision. He knows hes old now. Its natural to not be as popular as he was back in the day. So why not team up with someone who is currently popular? Sunmi is arguably the most popular soloists right now. That's a smart business move to collab with her. Especially since they are no longer boss and employee. But now friends.

He jump started her career by debuting her in Wonder Girls and now shes returning the favor by using her current popularity to help him out with his new release.

It's not that serious. Just an average day where kpop fans want to complain about something that's nothing.

I spent 20 minutes trying to figure out where I know her voice from until I remembered she's the Joolae girl

I love that second video. Legends in awe of legends.

I remember Lizzy covering this song and then becoming obsessed with it a few years ago

Psy was in the same company as Lee Jung Hyun at the time, but hadn't debuted. He tells a story about the party the company threw when WA hit #1 and how his antics got him his original nickname and image.
