빅뱅 (Big Bang) – 하루 하루 (Day by Day)

Here’s a very emo music video by my favorite band, Big Bang.

타이푼(Typhoon) – 그래서 (So)

This is a fun techno mix on a classic.

이승철 (Lee Seung-Chul) – 소리쳐 (Scream)

This is is my list of top songs, I can’t listen to it enough times!

현영 (Hyun-Young) – 누나의 꿈 (Sister’s Dream)

Remember that numa numa guy?  If you don’t, maybe this video (called “numa numa”) which currently has over 24 million views will refresh your memory.  The song was originally done by a group called ’O-Zone’ in Romanian.  This guy was HUGE, and I mean all over the Internet huge.  Well, whenever you have something that big you need to have some awesome Asian remakes!  You can see the slightly disterbing is-that-a-guy-or-a-girl Japanese version over here.  Not enough?  How about the Vietnamese version.  Or a Mandarin versionIndonesianThai.

The kid who did the numa numa video even got a part in Weezer’s new song, Pork and Beans.  You can see most of the Internet’s most popular people during the last few years sprinkled throughout the video.   That guy will live forever as long as YouTube is live.  Enjoy.

By the way, I learned 심봤다 from this video (what she shout’s when she sees the guy).  A friend told me that in Korea when people collected something like ginseng they would shout that when they found one because it was so precious.  Nowadays you can say it if you found something really good to be excited about (like in Hyun-Young’s case).

싸이 (Psy) – We Are The One (Word Cup 2006)

Great music video!  North Koreans switch places with the Psy group members.  While they perform in the south, Psy is forced to sing and dance for Kim Jong-Il.  The funny thing is that something like this actually happened in the past (see the story about the abducted director here at the BBC).  대한민국 화이팅!
