Earlier today, popular Youtube Series "Kids React!" posted a video on K-Pop, in particular they review "Bonamana" by Super Junior, GEE by Girls' Generation, and 2NE1's "I am the Best". As expected, K-pop fans have flocked to the video in droves.
The Kids React! series is the brainchild of ???filmakers Benny & Rafi Fine. The duo produce, direct, and MC the videos. Their channel has over 1.3 million subscribers.
The children themselves range from age 7 to 13. They are from a variety of racial and ethnic backgrounds, but all seem to be raised/living-in America. Every week, the kids are presented with a topic and their reactions and commentary are recorded.
In the episode on K-pop, one young girl confuses Girls' Generation with the Wonder Girls, while one of the boys equates the genre to "Asian Rebecca Black". Most of the children seemed impressed with the production quality and creativity of the music videos, things many kpop fans enjoy as well.
Though the kids' reactions can be a but harsh, it's interesting to see a different perspective on K-pop music and videos.
What were your first reactions to K-pop? Were they anything like the children in these clips?
