Once upon a time, when I was young and fancy free, I was considered a good dancer in Korea simply because I knew how to do the Roger Rabbit occasionally while just being able to keep the beat.
Well, times have changed. Even the ladies have stopped doing that silly dance that all Korean women used to do – can't reproduce it for you through mere text here, an unfortunate limitation of either the written medium or my ability to describe, or maybe both – that tried to pass off coy bashfulness as cute as sexy.
So yes, some of the moves on stage have made it to the street. People be dancing here.
Dag. Now the choreography in the second one is pretty sloppy and forced, actually, with the exception of the main dude who was in the video you just watched above, his name being Jang Woo Hyuk. The music video part, which channels samples and ideas from The Matrix and other delightful movie cliches – the guy in prison with his pet pigeon on his shoulder was priceless – was a pretty strong start, though.
I did like the music, which tended a little heavy towards the early 90's, both in sampling and style – Michael Jackson meets Bobby Brown meets MC Hammer meet another Jackson's choreography (Janet's), topped off with some pure breakdance beats back to the early 90's. And then Queen, laser sounds, electric guitar, and a Clon dancer rising from his wheelchair?
Just goes to show you that most of the good dancing fun in the present century is just a stale leftover from when I was in high school. I could once hold one foot and jump "through" my own leg, Kid-n-play style. I swear on the Bible. I could. Now, well. Sheeeeet. I don't have insurance, so I worry about not having rubber non-slip pads in the shower.
But that video actually made me want to get and and give the foot one last grab and...naw. I need to hit that treadmill before I start getting carried away with myself and break something expensive.
