Can anyone imagine K-pop without the music video? From
Psy to
Girls’ Generation, the music video is becoming the defining characteristic behind our favorite K-pop groups. In a sense, it may actually be more important than the song itself because when a new song is released, instead of buying the CD (that’s so 10 years ago) or downloading the MP3, fans are now looking straight for the music video. It sets the tone and concept, and in a lot of cases, the majority of the budget goes towards the music video compared to the album production.
K-pop music videos are some of the most innovative in the world today but there were some great videos from back in the day that were pretty influential in their own right. This week’s WBW will take a look back at some of the most influential old school music videos from back in the day and while they might be older, they’re still pretty cool to watch.
Rain – It’s Raining
He had big hits before this but I don’t think you can argue that this song made
Rain the man. He melds his unique dance style with an
J.Y. Park original beat for one of his best videos and a K-pop classic that was the start of his journey to international recognition.
