Korean "reggae duo" Skull & Haha to appear on Jamaican talk show

[reasontowander.livejournal.com]

Korean reggae duo Skull & Haha are heading to Jamaica to appear on the popular TV talk show "Smile Jamaica."

Quan Entertainment, the musicians' agency, said Wednesday the two have been invited to star in Jamaica's highest-rated TV program. The invitation came after they topped the Jamaican "Pree Dis Top Ten Chart" on Sept. 29 with "Love Inside," released in March in Korea. The number features reggae legend Bob Marley's son, Stephen Marley.

"I am really in tears right now," posted Ha Dong-hoon, better known as Haha, on Instagram, after his song hit the music chart in September. "Thank you so much for supporting Korean reggae music."

This will be Skull & Haha's second visit to the country. In 2014, they participated in a reggae festival in Kingston, Jamaica, and appeared on "Smile Jamaica" with host members of MBC variety show "Infinite Challenge." Skull & Haha also met Usain Bolt, the Jamaican superstar sprinter, during the visit.

The episode of "Smile Jamaica" with Skull & Haha is scheduled to air on Oct. 17.

i'm sure this is going to be a mess in some way or another but i'm curious to see what the hosts/audience have to say abt their whole schtick

They'll probably be received pretty well since they were invited.

It reminds me of Rude Paper's show about going to Jamaica. From what little I remember of the show, people are pretty accepting about him, but he isn't usually dressed up like a stereotype. So who knows?

I really wish this wouldn't be encouraged. But, I am curious to see how it'll be received.

They looked happy, at least. Must've been great, having the son of a popular icon featuring on their song.

I mean when I first started listening to Skull way back I was kinda weirdly proud, like Jamaica is a tiny country, and anytime people know anything about my country I feel happy. That said now I'm living in the UK it seems people only care about the surface stuff reggae/weed/holidays and I just wish people saw we have a really rich culture and history. That said good for them, I hope they come away with a better understanding of Jamaica, we're open with our culture and it's great anytime people want to participate

Thank God the Americans are here to educate those Jamaicans about who they should and should not allow on their television.
