  • I don't know what K-Pop is.

  • What does it stand for?

  • Korean pop.

  • K-Pop is 90's boy bands and girl bands, but being made to dance.

  • Sweet, happy, cute, like colorful, ladies, balloons, glitter...

  • And they're actually like huge all over the world!

  • Every single dance is incredibly difficult to do.

  • These are things that they specifically designed for each song,

  • so the audience can know it, recognize it and learn it.

  • Let's start with the "Arrogant Dance".

  • It originated from the Brown Eyed Girls but was popularized by PSY's "Gentlemen."

  • Your upper body is stable while your lower body is having a sex party.

  • That's terrible. What are you doing?

  • My whiteness is revealing itself right now.

  • Nothing gets ladies like arrogance.

  • I may do it in the club!

  • It's basically like charades.

  • Isn't it a little tougher?

  • I feel like we're good!

  • Next, let's try "Electric Shock" by f(X).

  • F, parentheses, X, parentheses.

  • That math equation?

  • I'm shocked by how fast this dance is.

  • This kind of reminds me of hip-hop a little bit.

  • Our boy bands and girl bands don't do moves like this anymore.

  • I’ve never felt more athletic in my life.

  • All right. Now the choreography to "Fantastic Baby" by "Big Bang."

  • Yeah!

  • Hey ladies. I'm TOP.

  • Fantastic over there.

  • Be my lady, baby.

  • I’m like a fantastic baby.

  • I can do a little kick.

  • If we were doing a line dance, I would probably be so good.

  • We think more street, badass.

  • Theyve got a lot of happy daffy glitter shit.

  • This is like fucking exhausting dance music.

  • I'm gonna teach you the butt dance.

  • A craze created by Kara.

  • So it looks like this, and it's the butt dance. It's Korean twerking. This is like crack party in the back. Exactly.

  • Everybody is owned by the same company for K-pop.

  • All of Korea is like a Mickey Mouse club.

  • This is like a social studies class and dance class.

  • Okay. Now we're gonna to do "Sorry, Sorry" from "Super Junior."

  • Sorry not sorry?

  • Should we like, look apologetic as we do it?

  • Nah, you should feel like you wanna have sex with someone in the camera.

  • It's a group composed of about 10 guys.

  • There have more types in Korea.

  • Rub your hands like your Mr. Burns.

  • Sorry, sorry

  • Oh wow!

  • I didn't do it well, but I had swag in my face so I think it's gonna sell.

  • I'm sorry!

  • All right. Get ready for "I am the Best" from 2NE1.

  • But it's pronounced "twenty-one"?

  • And also "to anyone."

  • Puns are abundant in K-pop.

  • I love that!

  • I am the best!

  • We are definitely not the best.

  • I'm in a skirt, dude.

  • My shorts are too tight to lunge.

  • Chest! Cross! Chest!

  • Drop! Head!

  • 2NE1 is not about caring.

  • It's all looking like bad-ass bitches.

  • Legally drinking age.

  • You look sexy!

  • I don't know if I feel sexy, I'm starting to feel sweaty.

  • All right guys, here is a tough one.

  • We are doing the "Ring Ding Dong" by "Shinee."

  • S.H.I.N.E.E.

  • So, "Shinee".

  • That's not how you spell that word.

  • "Ring Ding Dong"!

  • You are a surfer having sex with the wave.

  • Surfboard.

  • Like I'm having sex with the corner.

  • You're just throwing the dollar bills

  • Oh! Make it rain?

  • We just made "K-pop American."

  • Last but definitely not least - "Gee" from "Girls' Generation."

  • The style, this is gonna be everything you thought K-pop was.

  • Not hardcore, not super sexy.

  • It's bubbly, adorable, girly.

  • And were gonna act like girls for this.

  • What does act like a girl mean?

  • There are 9 or 10 girls.

  • This is where I need to be.

  • They want this style.

  • I don't think that I’m gonna do that.

  • Twist! Twist! Hit!

  • I'm a genie in a bottle.

  • This is much more of a workout than the previous guys.

  • Like girls are way tougher than the Korean guys.

  • lt's so hard to hold your smile the whole time.

  • It's nice because I don't feel nowadays there are dance crazes.

  • I like, find the K-pop artists, like, idols, because this stuff is really hard.

  • The thing is every K-pop video, there's 12 people and they are 100% in sync.

  • And it's happy.

  • And it can't be sad.

  • What I'd like to say in Korean is "안녕". That's all I know.

  • 감사합니다!

  • What was that?

  • What does that even mean?

  • They're very in shape.

  • Theyre Olympic athletes.

  • I had a burger for breakfast.

  • Korea Waiting!

I don't know what K-Pop is.
