I know it's for a show now and even tho it's called a parody it doesn't seem like they're trying to be that funny or mocking so I was hoping this was like a present for their Indian fans or something although I'm assuming they don't have that many. I'm glad they actually tried to sing in Hindi even if it's not necessarily well-pronounced. It seems like they tried their best. idk. it's still cultural appropriation.
In a way it was. In the show they spoke about the different places they'd traveled and dances they'd like to learn or do. Sohyun was interested in belly dancing which brought them to India and how no one from Korea has ever done a Hindi release. They thought it'd be interesting to do for fans there.
The saxophone player is an Indian actor living in Korea and he helped them with the 'MV'. The only part I can see people taking offense to is the Korean actor but he's not in brownface IMO, he's tanned but it's nothing extreme.
Looks like somebody used Google Translate & failed to see how they should pronounce the words. I can understand Hindi but I can't understand what they're saying! XDDD
They are singing in hindi--had it not been for the actual hindi lyrics on the screen I would've never realized this....don't know how to feel about this honestly...

Date: 2012-06-20 06:53 am (UTC)It's probably their first time singing in it, so I don't expect it to be good or anything, especially just for a funny video.

Needs more people though.

The 4minute parody is quite pointless though.
