Westerners FAIL To Guess KPOP Idol Names!

Have you watched K-pop videos before? Really just Gangnam Style and maybe I've seen a couple clips from other ones. Not very. There was that Gangnam Style video. I know the phrase, I know what it means, that's about it. I'm familiar with some of them, you know. The Psy thing, of course. The Psy? No, I don't think so. G by, what's that name? Girls' Generation. G-Dragon. Girls' Generation. Why are there periods in all of these? Sideways. I don't know. Is that Mr. Freeze? You actually just read them without the periods. Okay. The Psy is like, I don't know, the number two is kind of random. I kind of like next to, because you could use that as puns. Like, hey, I'm next to you. Oh God, I want it to be sideways. But I'm going to go with next to. I'm going to go with next to. T.O.P. I'm going to say sideways out of just wishful thinking. Maybe I've subliminally heard him before, I don't know. Probably because of his outrageous hair, right? Do these stand for something? The top of his head. Whoa. This is like Korean TLC. I assume it's a she, she looks like a gangster. It's a guy, by the way. It's actually a dude. Oh, whoops. Sorry. G-Dragon, that's a little too cartoonishly Asian. I'm going to go with fiery strands of hair, so G-Dragon. I'll go with G-Dragon. Oh my God, what? How did you guess that? Is that G-Dragon? The gangster dragon? Looks like he has a headache. I feel like the photo's a little smoky. This guy's standing next to a supernova. He wants girls to have a crush on him. He is standing next to a fog machine. Crush might bring back too many memories of the Korean War. Are those bedazzled suspenders? I'm going to say, I'm going to go with smash. Smash, a little too masculine. North Korea said they'll smash South Korea, so I'm going to go with smoke for this guy. Smash. It's smoke. But it's crush. Yeah, he looks kind of crushed in that photo. I guess he must be a North Korean mole. This reminds me of that brand, MXXM Mixaria. So the one in the middle is a girl, right? A, B, C, D, sounds plausible. I'm kind of questioning my sexuality now. The band is called one of those names? It's just a bunch of letters, and you're like, why are there letters? Cosby doesn't sound very Korean. I like TVXQ, I'm just going to go with that. Man, none of these make any sense. The answer is A, B, C, D. All right, there's five of them, so let's go with the one with five letters, K-O-S-P-I. Let's go with A, B, C, D. So just a bit of random English. Cool. Well, they're five beautiful girls. Do you know what Cosby is? No. It's Korean stocking. These are girls, right? These are actually girls. Okay. I don't know what's real anymore. Well, it's blatantly not going to be oatmeal. Oatmeal? Because that's a stupid name. Oatmeal is just too stupid. I'm in a band called Oatmeal. B-Real is a little too straightforward. B-Real makes sense. A little bit too much sense. But nothing here makes sense, so I'm going to go with C-Real. I'm going to go with B-Real. I'm going to go with C-Real. I think it's B-Real. C-Real. Correct. Okay. No! That makes the least sense! What? Oh! C-Real. Why would you be called C-Real? No! C-Real! Oh, man. Man, that guy on the left looks like a woman. Zero. Is greater than. Carat, carat, zero. This one is throwing me for a loop. He looks kind of like Miley Cyrus with the short hair, you know? Exo. Like exoskeleton. Or it could be like a cat. I think Asian people use a lot of XOXO. XOXO is like hugs and kisses, right? Although I don't know if they use that phrase in Korean. EXO sounds right. So I'm just going to go with hug, kiss, hug, kiss. So I'm going to go with EXO. You are correct. All right. A little acronym thing. Yeah, I guess the XOXO might create a pronunciation problem. Okay. You're on track. All right. Mmm. Do, do, do. Do, do. Do, do, do. Do, do. Do. Do, do, do. Do. Let's do the do with this dude. I'm going to go with do. Does he always wear that pink bow? Also, it wouldn't be do because. They're all kind of random. That's the sort of thing I give my daughter who's four and a half months old. So they probably wouldn't care about nature. They're kind of living in the cyberpunk Akira dystopia. Is this DW? Dew? It's the first one. It's the first one? Why? Why are they named like this? That's so weird. Dew. It's got all the periods, so it's definitely the Korean pop guy. It's so hard to tell. I'll say it's real and that's the guy on the left. Isn't that G-Dragon again? Please tell me it's just the image of the guy sweating. Nobody's name's Sweat. Nobody's name's Sweat? Okay. Oh, I'm disappointed. Oh, my God. 2AM. This is a K-pop band, isn't it? No, 2AM's a band name. Stupid, but also the name of the K-pop band. That also seems totally plausible. I would say those guys could be K-pop stars. I don't know that much. Like, I never listen to it. I've just heard what people have said. Wow. Very creative. Too sexy? Do they? Wow. Okay. So that's an eight-girl band. They've got a lot of time associations. Or it's a bit too adult. It doesn't have that kind of Lolita baby-ish thing, so I'll say it's fake. I'm going to go with After School being the name of the K-pop girl band. It's actually super creepy when you think about it. I'm going to say no. Why do they have so many people in their band? I'm kind of hoping I'm wrong. You're right. I mean, they can't be making much money. I feel sorry for them. It is real. Oh. Yes! Sure, why not? Thunder seems too obvious. I'm going to say no. I mean, there are K-pop stars that have names to do with weather. I'm going to go with pink-haired K-pop star. Why did he dye his hair pink? That's him. That's his name is Thunder. I think this guy can be legit. I don't know. I guess you hear him. Red Velvet. Do people know about Red Velvet outside of New York? You know, I love those Red Velvet cookies that you get from Panera. Why do all the girls have this weird, creepy schoolgirl thing going on? You know, there's something about the adult women dressing up as schoolgirls to be attractive that is just a little bit creepy to me. Oh, totally doable. And there are tons of Asian bakeries. I'm going to say no. I'm going to say yes, but I'm going to say no. I'm going to go with Red Velvet being a flavor of chocolate cake. That's not. It's the name of the band. No. I'll say that's real. Yep, you're right. Yeah. It is. Rice Dream. I've had soy milk Rice Dream. It's pretty good, actually. Rice Dream. They could not have named themselves that. I've had morning rice. There'd be some racist undertone to that. Also, that's vaguely racist. Let's say no. I will say fake. I'm going to go with Rice Dream being a delicious rice drink. I'm starting a band called Quick Roads. Really? No, there's no way they would name themselves ham. Asians come from a pork culture. I think it's a stupid name, so I don't think that could happen. As opposed to beef, because they're lactose intolerant. I'm going to go with the K-pop girl band. Too much room for pastures, so I will say yes, that's real. For their sake, I really hope that's not their name. They're named ham. No. It's ham. Wow, that looks tasty. The burger looks good, too. I feel like that's a nickname that people give the big guy in their gang. That's his name. He's Whopper. That's the dude's name. Let's say no. No to this one. Can you honestly tell me nobody is named Whopper? To our knowledge. I totally should have thought about it, because Whopper would be a trademark name. It might be some legal conflict. I'm going to want that guy. I just hope I don't accidentally watch Beetlejuice for an hour and a half. Oh, I already know how to do it. I basically take a hat and I put random letters in. And then I get a monkey. And then the monkey takes the letters out of the hat. And then a six-year-old reads them aloud. Maybe something like r.e.f.l.x. r.e.f.l.x. Something cool like that. That would be cool, right? It could be like r.e.f.l.x. Probably not.
