Epik High: Wannabe

Korean hiphop group, Epik High, has released their new single: Wannabe (Subtitled)
Check it out.

The music video is actually doing a parody from a popular Korean monster horror (and satirical) film, "The Host."

The Host is a Korean movie about a monster abducting a girl(sister of the protagonist), and the protagonist and his family had to save his sister from the monster that was living near the bridge of Han river.

The Host was popular in Korea and in other countries as well (America and Canada) and Epik High decided to do a parody of this movie because it was so popular.

I personally thought music video was very fitting to the song because it be being a "wannabe" to a popular movie and the lyrics fit to the music video well.

The lyrics showed that people were always following someone or something, which is called a trend, and that people should not copy the popular that were set by others.

Instead, the music is telling the people to make their own trend and their fashion, and I thought it was brilliant because there are too many people that are "fake" since they are just mindless followers instead of doing what they like to do.

I believe that this song was representing individuality and a individual's quest to find his or her own true color.

As far as the style goes, I thought that their last music video from the album love scream was better than this single though because the tune was nicer and i liked the love theme better than this one.

1 Minute, 1 Second. From the album Love Scream.

However, I thought "Wannabe" was pretty nice and clever. Epik High has toured New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle this year, and I wished I went to their concerts. Hopefully next time though.

Epik High is composed of:

Tablo: Rapper

Mithra: Rapper

Tukutz: DJ

Also the trailer for the film "The Host" if anyone is interested.
