PPAP: The new internet meme your kpop faves love! 🖊🍍🍎🖊

[seulgibear.livejournal.com]

Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen is, to most, the new annoying internet trend that's everywhere. Kpop idols, however, seem to love it! It all started with a video that went viral, posted by singer-songwriter DJ Piko-Taro, who is a character Japanese comedian Kosaka Daimou invented.

It's got a catchy beat and the lyrics are simple and easy to sing and act along to. They go like this:

"I have a pen. I have an apple. Apple-pen! I have a pen. I have pineapple. Pineapple-pen! Apple-pen. Pineapple-pen. Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen."

Thus, the new internet meme was born. So which one of your faves joined the fun?

EXO's best subunit ChenBaekXi

TWICE's Chaeyoung and Tzuyu

CLC created a fun video for the challenge

IKON did their own rendition during one of their concerts

A video of Bobby being himself 😌 Comfortable and genuinely having fun with his brothers 😊❤️

[drfaith101.livejournal.com]

[by-venoms-sting.livejournal.com]

Lol I've heard of this song but have yet to listen to it. I had no idea it was a thing~/was really popular until this post.

[psharp10.livejournal.com]

lmao it spread so fast it was amazing

[suggestivepeach.livejournal.com]

I squealed when I watched Victoria's instagram vid. She's so adorable! CLC also deserves kudos for going all out.

[mc1a.livejournal.com]

I haven't watched the ppap thing and I doubt I will.

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

tzuyu is so pretty in the video tho

[supersunshiner.livejournal.com]

[mjspice.livejournal.com]

LMFAO @ THIS BEING SO POPULAR ALREADY! Even Colbert went in on it! XD

[leighbee333.livejournal.com]

i wish it was funny :-(

I miss the Colbert Report!

[premonitioner.livejournal.com]

I hate it, and don't understand why it's popular and even more I hate people comparing it to an actual good song like Gangnam Style just because 'lol Asians are so weird'

[jasmineakaiumi.livejournal.com]

this

[mjspice.livejournal.com]

Well that didn't take long for Soompi to write about this

[seulgibear.livejournal.com]

hahaha this is great! buzzfeed should make a list too

[mad-nux.livejournal.com]

hate it. the song is not catchy at all

[yejun.livejournal.com]

Omg I'm happy to finally get an answer to where this all started! I was so confused when I first saw the EXO vid and then Vic's IG post.... IDK if it makes any more sense now than it did before but at least my question's been answered so...

[bloodtaki2.livejournal.com]

I didn't know this was a meme, so when I saw Dongwoo and Sungyeol do it, I was like, what shenanigans are they up to.

CLC are awesome.

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Omg CLC are the best at it <3 I actually rewatched the video several time haha. Sorn devilishly crushing that poor apple was hilarious.
I was introduced to... this with Chae and Tzuyu, I was waking up and thought "oh, new vlive starting? let's try" needless to say, I was really confused.

[kashchanocchi.livejournal.com]

lol so many people are bitter @ this meme. let people have fun

[jinkiestabi.livejournal.com]

I only bothered to watch a few videos and it's purely hilarious seeing a bunch of idols have fun with it. I laughed really hard during some of these because the comedic delivery was on point, lol.

[broadway-bound3.livejournal.com]

Some of my students were doing this in class and I had no idea what was going on.

[symmetra.livejournal.com]

i didn't know this was a meme until i saw it on nomura shuhei's instagram lol

[belintuchiha.livejournal.com]

IT'S EVERYWHEREEEE.

LMAO

Even at work, people keep playing it and tbh IT'S ADDICTING AF.
I catch myself singing it out of nowhere lmfao

[leighbee333.livejournal.com]

I prefer Victoria's version to the original, haha <3

I want a closeup of Sehun's face in that video lol

All the applause for CLC doing a mini production there~

[yoonjeonghan.livejournal.com]

why are so bitter over this 😂😂😂
it's not supposed to be a good song!

anyway clc's was the best i love them

[rightclick5ave.livejournal.com]

CLC's was adorable!

[showminomoney.livejournal.com]

I love this post! It's so ridiculous and I love how much the idols love it! CLC win for creativity!

[pineepie.livejournal.com]

This is totally my jam, i love it!!

[jileader.livejournal.com]

i`m so confused
lol at ikon`s concert, everyone knew immediately what they were doing

[nekokonneko.livejournal.com]

lol bless clc for actually making it funny. i hope that video goes viral on the back of this meme.

also sorn needs to be on variety shows, her faces! lol they were killing me

[jasmineakaiumi.livejournal.com]

this is the cringiest thing ever...

[cuizy.livejournal.com]

Is this actually popular everywhere? Somehow I just thought it was popular in Asia... my Korean friend was singing it and that's how I heard of it first

[chasing-thewind.livejournal.com]

lolol some of my friends here are obsessed with it too
sidenote, but chaeyoung and tzuyu look really young in that video. not a bad thing, just an observation, and nice to see them looking their age :)
