Which K-Pop song would you send to Eurovision to represent Korea? (4 Viewers)

[Administrator2]

With Eurovision being more open towards accepting other nations in their contest (and let's face it, if Korea joins, no other country would remotely have a shot at winning) who would you send and what song?

Rules:
Artists shall perform live on stage, accompanied by a recorded backing-track which contains no vocals of any kind or any vocal imitations aiming at replacing or assisting the live/original voice of the Contestant(s).
Allowed to have up to six performers on stage. Performers must be aged 16 or older.

We will neglect the rule about song being unique, cause I wanna know which song is the Eurovision material.

I've given this a lot of thought myself actually but you have to take into account the existing Eurovision rules, the main one being that you're only allowed a maximum of 6 people on stage which would rule out a lot of the larger groups.

So Twice, BTS & SNSD are all ruled out, the GP probably wouldn't want BB representing them as a country in a competition like Eurovision but I suspect that they'd want to choose a relatively senior group with more experience so maybe TVXQ would be a good pick...

Don't forget that you can't have even a hint of backing vocal on instrumental track. I'm leaning towards MAMAMOO. I mean...



Live vocals? Check.
Stage presence? Check.
Great dancing? Check.

But you are allowed live backing vocals, hell there are even people who lip sync to the backing singers 'Singing In The Rain' style!

Yeah, but backing vocals have to be present on stage and count within those 6. MAMAMOO needs no back vocals.

No idea, I mean not much could beat those dancing Russian grannies...

Maybe Red Velvet. They’re quirky enough for Eurovision, and Graham Norton would love them (ok he’d probably roast them but he roasts everybody)

Graham Norton's commentary is one of the main reasons that I watch the show every year!

Nope. They'd be destroyed without backing vocals.

theyre both very good candidates. both can carry through a performance without backing vocals and have good choreographies but stage precense is weak for both groups.

MAMAMOO is the definition of stage presence in this industry. Hwasa especially.

Mamamoo was first that came to my mind since they need to sing live and vocals are quite appreciated in Eurovision. Unless you do sth really crazy that somehow ends up being popular. Song is bit harder, but probably Yes I Am for the fun factor.

 

[GoldenBunny]

Before I got to your Mamamoo suggestion that was my idea too - they're so super dynamic, I think their less cute or girl crush vibe/kinda natural womenly presentation would do well with Europeans and not feed into pre-existing stereotypes about Kpop while still showcasing the best aspects of the industry, and they can siiiiiiiiiiing.

You know song wise the first one I thought of was Bboom Bboom but Momoland is just too big of a group and I don't know what any of their vocals are like...

He makes Eurovision. Apparently people in other countries stream the UK broadcast purely for his commentary, and they’re right to because its legendary.

Yeah for Red Velvet its more their concept that would fit Eurovision.
EXO-CBX could do well.

Ooh. That's a very good suggestion, yes.

 

[maruberry]

I think Korea should send somebody very distinctly kpop, so I think Gfriend would be perfect.
They can sing live, they can dance and they have exactly 6 members!

EXO-CBX would also be a great option, Blooming day is a bop!

 

[RandAlThor]

MMM are not really a good representation of kpop as a whole.
They are really good at what they do but its not really kpop.
It would be like sending Bol 4, Davinci .

Gfriend, Rv are your gg choices for 6 members and under unless you can unearth fx.
If they had to all could go live with just the group that is why they all sing most of the choruses ect.
They don't because they do not need to stress about it normally.

Really the size limitation hurts the kpop vibe possibilities.
