Top 7 Bizarre Kpop Videos
Hey guise!
So, we were contacted by myISH, a channel on YouTube, to do a Kpop video countdown. You might know Michael Buckley of What The Buck doing a video on the Top 7 Kpop Songs You Should Know Right Now. We remember it, all right, because a bunch of people sent us the video asking if we agree with it, but most people were just happy to see someone not living in Korea talking about Kpop, especially considering how mega huge his channel is compared to ours and how many more people he could influence.
Anyhow, long story short: now WE just did a video for myISH on Kpop as well, to fill in for Michael Buckley while he…um…eats poutine? Actually, we don’t know where he is. We never actually spoke with him. We’d like, to though (Michael, if you’re reading this. Hi!) but we were more than happy to add some of our bizarre kpop knowledge to the list. We wanted to try something different, though, something more fun. Our list is called the 7 Most Bizarre Kpop Videos You Need to Watch Now and we wanted to pick music videos that showed off a more quirky and fun side of kpop, over just the impressive dances and super hot bodies and faces that Kpop is marketed for. So, we don’t want to spoil the list, but be sure to check it out here and let us know if you agree or disagree and what awesome videos we missed!

haha.. I loved B2ST’s version of YAYAYA~
July 16, 2013 at 6:10 amI miss the old TVXQ T^T
June 22, 2013 at 8:16 pmThese are awesome!
April 1, 2013 at 7:30 pmI want to have Martina’s unicorn costume!!!
January 25, 2013 at 5:44 ambut…what about Thumbs Up?!
September 30, 2012 at 9:35 amDefinitely should have included ‘Norazo’ ^___^
September 16, 2012 at 12:00 amBalloons isn’t bizarre, is cute u.u really cute u.u one of the cutest MV ever!!
August 26, 2012 at 11:28 amIn Epik High’s “Fan”, the girl puts the boy through a washing machine to clean him up, and then later sends him off strapped onto a – wait for it – rocket.
Simon, Martina, this video was way more bizarre than joom joom like a locket, and really ought to have made it to your list.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ShqjwNX2LU
August 24, 2012 at 5:34 pmMartina, you would make a super adorable unicorn~
August 23, 2012 at 5:23 amMostly sad that Miryo’s Dirty wasn’t on the list. It’;s definitely bizarre
August 21, 2012 at 7:07 pmA few more MV’s come to mind. Although, I don’t know that I could kick any that you said off the list. And I’m pretty sure your top 3 were spot on! Great list!
August 21, 2012 at 12:40 pmBuck is adorable but it’s been a while since I last watched his stuff. Didn’t know he did something for K-pop! Anyway, yeah, you guys do seem a bit toned down in this video… Still, it’s probably a good intro vid. Maybe next time there can be a Top 10 Epic K-Pop videos or something.
August 20, 2012 at 7:06 pmi just read the comment before mine.. and i just realize rokkugo was totally ment to be in the ish list.. but wasnt :(
August 20, 2012 at 5:30 pmOMG OMG I just went to watch Pajama Party and Rokkugo and Cooking Cooking
I laughed like a mad woman in front of my very serious mum.
Those are REALLY SUPER BIZZARE MUSIC VIDEOS that made me laugh over more than some of the videos there
August 20, 2012 at 12:15 pmI felt that B1A4′s ‘baby goodnight’ deserved to make the list over ‘beautiful target’ but I honestly love them both ^_^
August 20, 2012 at 9:48 amI would have add thumbs up by Crispy Crunch because the ending is just epic and so unexpected >.<
August 20, 2012 at 4:12 amMicheal Buckley is really annoying, but his list is awesome!
August 19, 2012 at 11:32 pmWhere did Rokkugo go!? It was like third or second in the voting! And definitely crazier than most of those….
August 19, 2012 at 11:15 pmNORAZO
August 19, 2012 at 9:42 pmCURRY
August 19, 2012 at 9:45 pmIts Zoom Zoom like a Rocket not locket
August 19, 2012 at 3:54 pmThe joke it that it sounds like they’re saying “Joom Joom like a Locket” because of their accents.
August 19, 2012 at 11:18 pmI am a bit disappointed because Gangnam Style isn’t “that” bizarre, and didn’t deserve first place in such a countdown. Wasn’t Epik High’s Wannabe way more bizarre than this? And Dirty Eyed girls! But I guess these videos aren’t as popular and weren’t voted for?
August 19, 2012 at 3:27 pmppappa pierrot
August 19, 2012 at 3:05 pmDefinitely weird!
August 19, 2012 at 3:30 pmhuh…….. for some reason, this video doesn’t seem to be as ‘fun’ as i would have expected from the lovey EATYOURKIMCHI people… T_T… maybe its just me who thinks this.
I actually got kind of bored by this,Something that’s almost NEVER happened, since I became a fan of EYK…
anywhoo…~~~
August 19, 2012 at 5:27 amOff to watch your other playlists’ now..
Maybe they were restrain since the show is for a wider audience, then they address it as for people that know nothing about K-pop!
August 19, 2012 at 8:50 amI would like Simon to be, like, “Oh! You so Nasty”, but…
I can’t believe you guys got to do an ISH list!! :DDD
August 19, 2012 at 12:55 amUm in “Yayaya”… P A R T Y = Party :P there’s just a pause before the Y lol!
August 19, 2012 at 12:03 amThat’s quite obvious, they mentioned that in their review. It’s funny, because they sound like they’re asking “Why?” instead of saying “Y”
August 19, 2012 at 11:20 pmPsy Gangnam Style was played on Danish state radio yesterday! Denmark = tiny, cold country in Scandinavia with a total population 5.5 mio. That song is sooo awesome!
August 18, 2012 at 5:45 pmWait…What?!? Seriøst!!! Hvorfor går jeg altid glip af de mest awesome momenter i dansk radio!!? Hvilken kanal??? Og jeg troede det var fedt at en af mine venner (som er kendt for han notorisk dårlige musik-smag) spillede Gangnam Style på skolens computer…
August 18, 2012 at 11:41 pmI love when there is kpop in ish list, it make me happy^.^
August 18, 2012 at 5:00 pmI thought DBSK did Balloons?
August 18, 2012 at 3:10 pmNew to kpop? DB5K is TVXQ.. Dong Bang Shin Ki or DBSK is their Korean name and TVXQ is the abbreviation of their Chinese name Tong Vfang Xien Qi.. They’re also called THSK or ToHoShinKi which is their Japanese name..
August 19, 2012 at 5:01 amUlala Session – Beautiful Night? ;-;
August 18, 2012 at 2:42 pmDBSK’s Balloons will always be one of my favorites. What’s wrong with sexy guys being super cute?? After being in love with asian pop culture and music for so long, nothing surprises me or is weird anymore. lol
August 18, 2012 at 2:06 pmBaloons is not bizarre! u_ú
August 18, 2012 at 2:02 pmMy Korean ex used to call her once-a-month her “Girl’s day”. Now I can see where she got it from.
August 18, 2012 at 1:28 pmPerhaps I’m too biased because I truly don’t understand being so weirded out by Balloons…. but perhaps not, because Ayy Girl or Tri-angle would be perfect xD
August 18, 2012 at 1:24 pmBalloon was amazing. Ayy Girl was meh cuz of the song. Tri-angle was awesome. :D
August 18, 2012 at 2:00 pmfunny hunny belongs on one of those DDR song tracks.
August 18, 2012 at 12:58 pminteresting concept…
August 18, 2012 at 12:51 pmwill be looking forward to more but this time around, i was a bit disappointed that you’ve already talked about ALL of these videos in the not so distant past so there was really nothing new and cooky for me to see this time…
totally threw me when you actually said Bilasa’s name correctly.
August 18, 2012 at 12:24 pmBILLLLASSSSAAA #2!!!! so happy :D Thank you Simon&Martina
August 18, 2012 at 12:03 pmPsy’s Gangnam Style was legitimately played on the news in NZ ^-^ (given it WAS on a segment about a starcraft competition)
August 18, 2012 at 12:02 pmIt was also played twice during our school’s leaver’s ball O.o
Gangnam Style is really cool, and random, and I like it. But if you’re going for bizarre, as in wtf, you should see Fresh Boyz’s King Kong Shower (킹콩샤워). It’s really out there, but funny.
August 18, 2012 at 12:00 pmHave you SEEN Dong Bang Shin Ki’s Tri-angle? It’s like live action Final Fantasy. This was the first video I saw of them.^^
August 18, 2012 at 11:22 amIf you’re talking about live action FF….have you seen T-ara’s Day by Day? :D
August 18, 2012 at 11:24 amI thought I hadn’t seen it so I went to look for it and I had seen it before, but forgot about it. You’re right and the background music to the song is especially FFish isn’t it?^^
August 18, 2012 at 11:43 amWHOOOAAA….you guys are so famous ahahha
August 18, 2012 at 11:09 ami don’t know what “joom joom your heart like a locket” means but i would like to find out ;) especially if i get to see them in person hehe
August 18, 2012 at 10:53 amOMG! No one told me this was in playlist mode!!
August 18, 2012 at 10:12 amYayaya T-ARA is spelling the word Party P A R T Y
August 18, 2012 at 10:10 amTotally saw Gangnam Style coming as #1, it’s just Psy winning throughout the whole video.
August 18, 2012 at 10:07 amI’m surprised this one wasn’t mentioned
August 18, 2012 at 9:40 amhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzlDMxyi8KQ
Haha you mentioned a flashmob, we just did one in Toronto the same day this came out! Coincidence? I THINK NOT.
August 18, 2012 at 9:02 amOh guise, I was having a pretty crap-tastic day, but this tooootally made things feel so much better. Thanks for all your videos!
August 18, 2012 at 8:47 amdammit… i need to watch gangnam style again…. sooo much epicness within 5 minutes! lol
August 18, 2012 at 8:23 amLMAO!!! you guys are awesome!!
August 18, 2012 at 8:21 amLOL I literally jaw-dropped seeing that TVXQ’s MV….xD And yes, totally, 200% agree that PSY’s Gangnam Style is all-time the best bizarre mv ever made.
August 18, 2012 at 8:19 amWell done Simon and Martina, well done :)
August 18, 2012 at 8:11 amAgree with all of these, but was waiting to see Thumbs Up by Crispy Crunch and gotta agree with others, I think Rokkugo would have fit nicely in here :D
August 18, 2012 at 7:45 amThey need Dal Shabet on this list. Like their songs Pink Rocket and Bling Bling. XD
August 18, 2012 at 7:35 ami knew Balloons would be included!!! and then when Martina suddenly popped onto the screen with the unicorn pj i was like WWAAHHHH TVXQ time!!!! (yes, yes i did just steal from u-know time)
August 18, 2012 at 7:29 amI cannot even describe how much happiness and laughter this brings me!!!
August 18, 2012 at 7:17 amI can’t describe how much I genuinely hate Buckley. He’s annoying as hell, and his videos about k-pop are horrid.
So glad some ‘experts’ helped this time. Yay EYK!
August 18, 2012 at 6:57 amBut he’s one of the sweetest people ever, I’ve met him a couple of times at vidcon :)
August 18, 2012 at 7:08 amGasp! B1A4′s Beautiful target is one of my all time favorite K-Pop songs!!!!!!! BILASA!!!!!
August 18, 2012 at 6:22 amWOOHOO! GO B1A4!!!!!! :D
August 18, 2012 at 6:12 am…… *Ahem* …….. what i meant to say was BILASA!!!!!!!! CONQUEROR OF KITTIES AND DEVOURER OF TEENAGE GIRLS HEARTS!!!!
August 18, 2012 at 2:29 pmEpik High – Wannabe, Super Junior Trot – Rukkugo, SS501 – A Song Calling for You, DBSK – Tri-angle, Super Junior Happy – Pajama Party, 2PM – 10 Out of 10
August 18, 2012 at 5:53 amB1A4! ;D
August 18, 2012 at 5:53 amI must admit when you said B-one-A-four I did not know who were you talking about. Never ever pronounce it like that again ……never T.T
August 18, 2012 at 5:47 amB1A4 is B-one-A-four, what’s wrong?
August 18, 2012 at 7:52 amHahaha you must be new around here :)
August 18, 2012 at 8:05 amSimon has a pet name for them, “Bilasa”, because in Korean 1=il, 4=sa :)
No it is *shoutwithdeepdeathmetalvoice* : BILASAAAAAAAA
August 18, 2012 at 8:06 amYes!! Rokugo or pajama party or cooking cooking totally should have made the list!! Though I TOTALLY agree with balloons and beautiful target. I LIKE IT LIKE IT LIKE THIS!
August 18, 2012 at 5:43 am7 is a really weird number, guys, make it the “Top 10 bizarre kpop videos” and give Jo Kwon’s “I’m da one” a place in this list. I know you want to ;)
August 18, 2012 at 5:20 amhey guys, have you seen this??
GANGNAM STYLE FLASH MOB _ https://www.facebook.com/events/144865258984890/
ps: I looooove unicorns!!!!
August 18, 2012 at 4:44 amGuise I don’t have the answer but can I still have a cookie? XD
August 18, 2012 at 4:32 ammartina’s unicorn outfit made my whole day!! i need one of those righaway!!
i’m happy to see some love for t-ara’s nonsensical yayayas and now that i see under the bizarre perspective, i kinda like girl’s day’s oh my god… a lot!! lol
August 18, 2012 at 4:25 amUm…Balloons is like, one of their earlier songs. If you watched their debut MV (Hug), then you’d know what image they were kinda going for. It’s so cute without being totally awkward (LMAO Jaejoong’s facial expressions). I’m glad they made it to the video!
HAHAHAHAH Girls Day–I like them a lot surprisingly. Their videos are quite and cute, and fit with their name. Hopefully they continue with this!
AND PSY. YES PSY.
August 18, 2012 at 4:22 amAbsolutely loved it…HOWEVER my mind just couldn’t comprehend the spinning numbers ok its a seven spinning…now it should be a backwards seven coming ba…WAIT ITS A NORMAL SEVEN AGAIN!!!
August 18, 2012 at 4:09 amAhahaha but seriously i loved this video so much
OMFG I WASN’T THE ONLY ONE DISTRACTED BY THAT 7?!? I’m not alone in the world after all :’)
August 18, 2012 at 5:08 amballoons actually made me love dbsk even more :) oh no, plz do not remind me of ponpon wae ponpon again! lol
August 18, 2012 at 4:02 amOMG. I can’t believe you guys didn’t think about Dal Shabet’s “Pink Rocket” with that creepy gorilla. I think the MV is just plain weird.
August 18, 2012 at 3:57 ami love all the videos but yeah rokkugo missed out :P and super junior happy- cooking? cooking! is a little bizarre too XD
August 18, 2012 at 3:55 amOr Suju-H’s Pajama Party (my personal fav)
Or Suju’s Twins…
Suju has some interesting videos lol
August 18, 2012 at 4:02 amwhen I first watched cooking cooking it scared the shit out of me (i don’t know why) so that should be on the list
August 18, 2012 at 5:23 amHaha, love What the Buck, myISH, and EYK.
This is great!
Now to watch!
August 18, 2012 at 3:51 amKISS AND TOUCH MEEE RUUUB MY BANANAS! I kinda missed this :D But I guess it’s not THAT bizarre
August 18, 2012 at 3:48 amis that something from jyj or junsu??? i want to know what song thats from
August 19, 2012 at 3:15 amIt’s from Intoxication by Junsu.
November 16, 2012 at 2:52 amXD oh my gosh! OPPA GANGNAM STYLE!!!! One of my oppas was singing this and doing the dance, at the time i had no freaking clue what he was doing! Thank you for clearing this up! XD
August 18, 2012 at 3:45 amI totally knew Psy had to be one of them! LOL
August 18, 2012 at 3:44 amOPPA GANGNAM STYLE
August 18, 2012 at 3:42 amEpik High ~ Wannabe / High Technology < These are quite bizarre and also fun! =ㅂ=
August 18, 2012 at 3:42 amAnyway I think you did a good list! ^^
Omg…Martina said that Gangnam Style could be a potential flash mob song and in Toronto…there’s going to be a flash mob TODAY because of this song. What a coinkidink…!! I totally agree with everything u guise said about these funky songs!!! I hope u guise can make this a category every year. Like Weirdest songs of 2012.
August 18, 2012 at 3:40 amAhhhh this video was awesome :D seriously i loved it
August 18, 2012 at 3:39 amMy mind couldn’t comprehend the spinning numbers though…its a spinning 7, ok now it should be a backwa…OMG ITS A NORMAL 7 AGAIN!!! Sleep deprivation is messing with my mind :D
Omg…Martina said that Gangnam Style could be a potential flash mob song and in Toronto…there’s going to be a flash mob TODAY because of this song. What a coinkidink…!!

August 18, 2012 at 3:37 amOh I watched all 7 videos~ ^^
August 18, 2012 at 3:36 amActually my mum really love Funny Honey(so do I ^^), she isn’t into k-pop but she’s a fan of CNBlue(she likes ALL their songs ^^) and likes Orange Caramel too ^^
eh B1A4′s song is stuck in my head again…*oh my beautiful target~♪*
Guhhhhh Balloons and DBSK <333 ;………;
August 18, 2012 at 3:36 amThat was really fast! It is hard to compile 7 videos into one, after all.
But anyways.. I think T-ara should’ve been in seventh place, because OC looks waaaaaay more bizarre, lol.
Good job you two~
And I was thinking he whole time : Psy is gonna be first!!
August 18, 2012 at 3:31 amI, for one, am glad that you chose what you thought was the most bizarre, and not just blindly follow a poll strongly dominated by fangirls. Not that I disliked the videos at the top of the poll (I’d never seen Rokugo, and found it pretty funny) – but they were all….male? xD
Just one (or two/three) more which I would also suggest watching:
August 18, 2012 at 3:28 amEpik High – Wannabe
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElW_V6SyfE8
Epik High – Trot + High Technology
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAJW9JuW-jQ
Cheers!! ^^b
The reason, why is someone who is a ‘girl’ because the song’s lyrics is about to turn things back, and say the words backwards, and the world is upside down… boy can turn into a girl. And the watermelons do clap (subak i baksu). There is grandpa and grandma (haraboji halmoni) So Heechul is dressed as a Girl, and addmit it he is way prettier than female idols <3 :D
August 18, 2012 at 4:32 amAlong with Balloons these two are the most weird videos, in kpop of all the time!
…..I’ll just pretend that I understood that, and nod :D Yes!! I like watermelons too!! xD
btw by saying ‘they were all male’, I was referring to the results in the poll that EYK posted a week ago – the top 10 were almost exclusively boy bands. EYK’s viewers are mainly female, so that was to be expected – but a bit uneven, imo. :)
August 18, 2012 at 4:49 amYes this is the videos!!! I like the dinosaur he is so cute. And I am still laughing over it. BTW which one is Tablo? And I was trying to spell familiar as their name not failure…I was still sleeping… believe me?
August 28, 2012 at 10:56 amTablo, from my memory is the one taking the photo right at the beginning of Wannabe – or the dude who was surrounded by all the ladies right at the end of Trot. All their MVs are really epik (cwidt) – I have very high expectations for their comeback next month (under YG)
August 28, 2012 at 11:40 am*dances around the room*
Ehe every one I voted for was here.. Thank you for listening to me Simon and Martina, I knew you respected my opinion
August 18, 2012 at 3:27 amHahahaha, there should definitely be Rokkuko on the list, but I totally agree with the other 7 videos :D
August 18, 2012 at 3:26 amWell this made my day, especially seeing B1A4 make it second on the list…haha. :D
August 18, 2012 at 3:23 amI accidentally clicked one of Michael’s videos.
Deffo not a fan… he’s exhausting. I choose EYK over him anytime!
August 18, 2012 at 3:17 amYour comment about B1A4 is totally true >.< it was the song that my sisters finally convinced me to like Kpop with … but only because I couldn't get the damn thing out my head xD
August 18, 2012 at 3:13 amYou collaborated with Michael?!?! friggin awesome :D
August 18, 2012 at 3:07 amNo mirotic??? D: that’s what brings most people over to kpop in the first place!
August 18, 2012 at 3:07 am“top BIZARRE k-pop videos”…and tbh,Mirotic is not quite bizarre…
August 18, 2012 at 3:13 amI don’t see mirotic as a bizarre video, a lillte crazy but not bizarre xD
August 18, 2012 at 3:28 amOh, I already knew about Orange Caramel, I like it, they are so cute! <3
August 18, 2012 at 3:04 amI think Balloons is the reason why Sm puts all their artists in oldly lit rooms now
August 18, 2012 at 3:02 amBwhahaha……! I never thought about that but it totally makes sense lol
Oddly lit rooms versus animal costumes……oddly lit rooms takes it.
August 18, 2012 at 8:07 amI honestly cannot imagine Super Junior in animal costumes.
Why can’t you imagine Super Junior in animal costumes?
August 18, 2012 at 8:22 amThey’ve been dressed as vegetables before
True. But the vegetable costume was so unexpected almost avant gard so it was actuall pretty cool. Either way all animal costumes aside, Balloons will forever have it’s place among k pop royalty.
August 18, 2012 at 10:53 amYou really can’t imagine SuJu in animal costumes? When they’re worn vegetable outfits and done crazy dress ups basically every Super Show? o.o Wow. I think SuJu could easily pull off animal outfits.
August 18, 2012 at 4:37 pmUlala Session’s Beautiful Night!
August 18, 2012 at 3:01 amRokkugo wasn’t in it ): ! I thought that video was pretty weird xD
August 18, 2012 at 2:58 amReally surprised “I’m Da One” isn’t on here. XD
August 18, 2012 at 2:53 amAnd people who know nothing about kpop brain’s just exploded from all the new information.
August 18, 2012 at 2:50 amTVXQ’s BALLOONS <3 ^^
August 18, 2012 at 2:50 amSurprised you didn’t include G.Na’s 2HOT……….I love her but that video…….the half-naked firemen……I just….what?….huh?……was that just me?
August 18, 2012 at 2:48 amMARTINA I LOVE YOUR UNICORN OUTFIT! I was dying of laughter when you randomly appeared like that! You should wear it more often!
August 18, 2012 at 2:46 amGangman Style is epic!
August 18, 2012 at 2:45 amBalloon was actually a remake of an older song….still doesn’t explain the costumes though…..
August 18, 2012 at 2:45 amD: Rokkugo missed out :(
August 18, 2012 at 2:45 amyes and in tha poll it had more votes than yayaya
August 18, 2012 at 2:50 amThat was TOTALLY one I wanted! Rokkugo Super Junior :’(
August 18, 2012 at 4:30 ami soooooo sooooooooo agree
August 18, 2012 at 4:53 amThey probably didn’t put that on the list since it isn’t ‘kpop’. Technically it’s trot, just by a kpop band (not even really, because the sub-unit Super Junior-T is only for trot).
They pull these things on us so much 0.0 I wanted to see dress Heechul too >.<
August 18, 2012 at 8:03 amI know! its so hard not to laugh & smile while watching it :D
August 18, 2012 at 5:00 pmThey HATE SJ that’s why ;)
August 18, 2012 at 5:10 pmstupid YG biased !!
They’re not YJ biased, besides TVXQ is SM just like SJ
August 19, 2012 at 3:22 pmwhen i saw the title..i know PSY gangnam style is number 1! xD
August 18, 2012 at 2:44 amI want more of these kind of video’s from you guys! these personal favorites type :D
August 18, 2012 at 2:43 amBalloons… i crei
August 18, 2012 at 2:42 amWhen I saw the title, I just knew Gangnam Style would be number one haha. I couldn’t agree more, that song is just awesome!
August 18, 2012 at 2:42 amOMG! That unicorn thingy-outfit is sooo cute!
August 18, 2012 at 2:39 amballoons is actually one of favorite between tvxq’s fans because it’s cute and funny to watch keke
August 18, 2012 at 2:38 am
