K-pop on Mainstream TV

This week, K-pop got some hype on mainstream TV, particularly TV3 (in the news and in the morning show) They talk about its fashion and culture and of-cause the K-pop phenomenon itself. And by that, comes the copy version of K-pop. Malaysia started to come up with its own version of K-pop copy. If you ask me what I think, I think it's funny! really funny. Because? Ok, let me show you some clips for comparison.

This is the copy version

This is the original K-pop version (example)

How could you even compare the two?

This is just one example. There are others, if you might heard about them, Gula-gula? One word comes to mind, 'shame'. Surfing trough the net for more about this K-pop duplicate copy thing, I found a blog with the entry Group K-Pop versi Malaysia 24:7 AWAS!!!!!!. What the author (Nur Nadhirah Azmi) said was spot on! I agree with her (at some point). What she said in the post made sense. Let me point out some quote from her entry:

K-pop paling kurang training 3 tahun. Itu pun belum cukup lagi. Ikutkan ada yang training 7 tahun dan lebih dari itu pun ada. Training k-pop bukan sebarang training. Perlu ke kelas vocal,kelas tarian dan kelas bahasa. Ada yang kena karang lagu sendiri beratus-ratus, jadi backup dancer, backup singer dan banyak lagi la proses yang perlu dilalui sebelum nak debut.

Mr Google direct Translation:
K-pop needs at least 3 years training. Even that is not sufficient. There are some that had to train more than 7 years. Training k-pop is not just any training. (One) need to attend vocal classes, dance classes and language classes. Some need to compose hundreds of songs, be a backup dancers, backup singers and many more process that needs to be passed before debuting.

Tengok plak cara pemakaian dan bgambar. Ni nak tiru concept TVXQ? SUJU? SHINEE? 2PM? 2AM? MBLAQ. Adusss...sedangkan faizal tahir buka baju dah kena wat social service. Inikan pula seperti ini. Nak tunjuk badan yang sgt mengiurkankah? Sila workout dulu sebelum debut. Pergi daftar kat celebrity fitness,...

Mr Google direct Translation:
Look at how they dress and take pictures. Trying to imitate TVXQ's concept? SuJu? SHINee? 2PM? 2AM? MBLAQ. Adusss ... Even Faizal Tahir who took of his shirt, had to do social service . Much less like this. Want to show tantalizing body so much? Please workout before debut. Go check-in for celebrity fitness, ...

Let's face it, originally, there are no more originality in this world, but to copy something, at least you need to have the decency to reach a certain level to really make the copy version some justice. And please, before you copy anything, think first, is what you about to copy appropriate to be copied or not.

Kalau iya pun nak tiru, tengok-tengok la dulu sesuai ka tidak.
