Kpop: PSY - New Face & I Luv It

The first above and two first below is from "I Luv It", the rest from "New Face"

PSY will ofc never top his super hit "Gangnam Style" from back in 2012 (getting close to 3 billion views!), but he still pushes out videos that gets 10s of millions of views. The two new releases from the new album "4x2=8" is "I Luv It" & "New Face". I think they don't quite come up to "Daddy" and "Napal Baji" from the last album, but they aren't bad and the videos are still very fun to watch. And if you wonder, it is Son Naeun from A Pink and the "Pineapple Pen" guy of viral video fame, Pikotaro.

Kpop: PSY - Daddy & Napal Baji (나팔바지)

Wow!! After the world hit "Gangnam style" the quality of PSY's releases went quickly downward and you would think that was that, but now he is back in great form, with a double release. And incredibly, both videos are great,  and they are great in two different complementing ways.
First out is Daddy that for sure will be his biggest hit of them two because here he brings out the big guns in regards to comedy and general vulgarity, combined with a beat that's hard to say no to, and up and rising rap star CL joining the fray. He actually did a low key korean song called Father this spring but that is really a different song.
To complemnt this, we have a video "Napal Baji" with more (relatively mind you) subdued but intelligent humour and sound track. The name means 'flare pants' but can also imply you got some 'fire in your pants' *cough*, *cough*.
Looking at the general level of featured artist on his 7th album (will.i.am is even there!!), this may actually really sell well.

Kpop: Im Chang Jung (임창정)

Im Chang Jung is a 40-year old singer and actor who with "Open the Door" does what I suppose we could "a Gangnam style". I like how the young boys of U-Kiss are part of the opening scenes (and there are lots of other cameos too), but all of the video is fun, and its really a moral opposite (or simply not ironic) of PSY's monster hit as it is about being well behaved and helping people out. And having fun, I suppose.  Even at the age of 40... ;-P
