Wassup!?
Post- video thoughts:
SO, I'm just scrollin' down mah newsfeed on Facebook o' so casually and I see this post by DramaFever. It was labeled as 'Watch the New Girl Group WASSUP: Twerking Hard or Hardly Twerking?' (tilte by Dramafever) and I was like wut. Korean people? If you're new to the KPOP era, let me tell you one thing: kpop stars have not really twerked in videos at ALLLLLL. Well the ones I've watched. And as some of you may know, in Korea, showing a lot of skin or using body parts for sex appeal is somewhat looked down upon. I mean, do you ever see a passionate kiss (French Kiss) hardcore in Korean Music Videos? I haven'ts. So this is honestly a surprise to me. I clicked it...
The Reaction:
Um.... wtf did I just watch. I personally had this really mug shot wtf face on while watching this. I'm gonna come straight out and say this... they're not that good a twerking. I personally don't think they got the butt for it, not to so perv or anything lol. But yeah. The music was somewhat catchy and the clothes were colorful but I didn't enjoy much about it... of course a kpop group isn't complete unless theres multi-color hair lol (Their hair is fab btw, love the ombres). There is also a practice twerk sesh which I will link done below.
About the group:
There's not much about them as of now. I did do some research and pretty much it's from two companies that collaborated (Sony Music Korea and Mafia Records) to create a seven member girl group named WASSUP. They've trained for three years and is debuting on August 7th on MBC's Show! Music Champion. This is a statement from Sony Music Korea:
"Wassup will differentiate themselves from other girl groups with their eye-catching concept. They will aim to spread hip hop music through their various activities."Yup, they're different and eye catching, not so sure in a great way.
Last thoughts:
I am actually interested to see other reviews and their full music video. I will do a separate post about that. I'm not sure why I'm so fine with American Music Videos with twerk and stuff like that but not Korean. Maybe it's cause Korean is so drama and graphic base and legit dancing, that they don't need to focus much on making things dirty. But I really hope that after this, there will be no more twerk because Kpop is fine as it is. Thank you.
