“Gangnam Style” this is not. When one Korean pop star wanted to draw attention to his newest video, he went out and polled people to see who the most recognizable celebrity was to them. And, unsurprisingly, Paris Hilton got the top spot. (Or she was at least the only one who would participate.) And even though Hilton has a failed singing career in her past, she dipped a toe into the music industry once more by appearing in this interesting video!
Oh man. That video may have been the epitome of schmaltzy. But could Paris perhaps be on the cusp of being an East Asian superstar? After all, her time in the spotlight here seems to be waning…perhaps it’s time to set sight on new territories! [via Buzzfeed]
What did you think of this video?

I like the way he swings his arms when he’s walking on the beach.

I read somewhere that Scarlett Johansson was also in the running. And Paris Hilton, of all people, was chosen? What was Kim Jang Hoon thinking? lol! This no talent has-been had her fifteen minutes of fame up ages ago.

Ok, There was enough cheese to make 10 triple cheese pizzas, but not nearly as terrible as I was expecting it to be. Maybe I would feel differently if I understood the lyrics.

The contrast between his beautiful singing voice and this cringe-worthy video is just…wow.
What the hell was he thinking choosing Paris Hilton?

@heart_leigh@xanga - ROFL. The song is actually kind of pretty. The video is still cheesy.

I personally love K-pop, have loved it for years.
This song is moving, the video…is a fail.
