[TV/NEWS] 111119 Channe| 7 SUNR|SE on the K-POP Music Festival in Sydney

[winnietehpoohie]

I find it ironic that it says on the headline, "the cash cow is giving away $100,000!" when they showed SNSD's The Boys. xD

[Alfizziy]

I dont like how he says "building" these kids, like their machines. Because they work like machines with their schedules. KPOP Idols are human, they should've mentioned more of their personality more...

[TheDOOMS666]

KPOP IN JAPAN???

1 – AKB48 – 16,282,000,000 Yen

2 – Arashi – 15,369,000,000 Yen

3 – EXILE – 5,603,000,000 Yen

4 – Kara – 4,926,000,000 Yen

5 – SNSD – 4,049,000,000 Yen

[merakhagen]

I agree, they don't speak 4~5 different languages, but they are willing to sing in other languages. That itself proves these people are more willing to accept globalization.

[KKanno]

that awkward moment when the news reporter says "these kids can speak 4~5 languages", but then the 2 guys in the interview had a translator LOL

[Nikki11080]

@KKanno just cuz they dont know english doesnt mean they dont actually know a lot of languages, but actually....most only know 2-3 anyways, all the members of the groups TOGETHER can speak 4-5 languages, but TVXQ mainly speaks Korean and Japanese

[xosaranghaeKpop]

I'm a BIG Kpop fan but seriously: "I don't understand their songs, but they have a lot of meaning."

Sorry, but a lot of the time Kpop is just American pop in Korean O_0 And don't be naive, of course the majority of people have never heard of our biases. It's more complicated than Kpop fans make it to be, crossing over to the western music scene is difficult, but I hope Kpop continues to prosper and spread :)

[cheesychua]

They dont know 4 to 5 languages lol lies.

[beeboo61]

Sistar so cool is MA ringtone.....sometimes I miss MA call cause I'm dancing to it , no seriously......LOLZ...!

[TheSprinkle44]

I love how they speak so well about kpop... It's really growing globally.. I'm so proud of the artists.. They really work super hard everyday!!! FIGHTING~~ ^^

[diguafuren]

TVXQ/DB5K forever the Gods, only they got a special interview~ So proud of Kpop, and so true, they don't sing about sex and drugs like Western pop, they go and show that you can create good music without stooping low to show sexyness. Men in suits, girls in shorts can be more sexy than flinging body parts around.. Bring on Kpop, and to those who don't know kpop, there is more to music than Lady Gaga and Beiber.

[DBSKfanEternally]

"these kids can speak 4 or 5 languages"

lmao, get your facts straight! sure, there might be a few people who speak that many languages, but some of them can't even speak proper english xD

[XanimeangylX]

@DBSKfanEternally I know right?! Plus it didn't help that right after he said that they went to the interview with TVXQ where they needed a translator! xD

[PINOYmei]

OMFG COME BACK PLEAAAASE !!! D;

[ProjectElf]

who needs lady gaga when we have kpop <3

[23rdHokage]

@PureS0u1 samesies ;]

[jwslee]

i'm proud to be a Kpop fan=D

I hope kpop music will be more and more famous in the future.

All The artist are really talented.

[aurorabunnyx3]

"In Western society it's (the songs) all about drugs, partying, and sex."

Sooooo true.

[a18angel]

Was that Taemin at 3:35 ? What was he performing?

[PureS0u1]

Proud to be Aussie/Viet :).

[dmano28]

Thumbs up!!!!

[angievu1]

FINALLY KPOP IS BEING MORE APPRECIATED!!!! KPOP IS LIFE!!!!

[tiala12111]

it always nice remind my self why I fall in love with Korean entertainment

seeing this report made me had goosebumps !!

thank you for sharing ^^

just let me say they forget mention one of the most led of the Kpop wave

Super junior

[diablolrm90]

At 3:17, are they are trying to teach Ring Ding Dong? Cuz if so, they are moving their hips in the wrong direction haha :D

[merakhagen]

These news reporters continue to miss one major success element of Kpop. That is variety show humor. You don't normally see pop-stars trying to take care a kid/baby over 3 months period, be filmed and broadcast across the internet. The extreme hilarity produce by Kpop is lacking in other pop-music producers/entertainers.

[whitelilac1212]

uurghh, if you ask me, no one in kpop ever mention about britney and britney fans doesnt want anything to do with kpop either. blame whoever wrote the text. lets just shut up and enjoy the vid.

[noboundariez]

you still have his scent? bwahaha :-)

[Overmelodramaticteen]

i dont think the interviewer was stupid or watever. he is just trying to introduce something very new to australians.

[ChunkyyBanana]

SHINee!! <3<3<3<3<3

[MsElizabeff]

how come i didnt see this on sunrise?!!! D: anyways TVXQ!!!

[opandaball]

@MsElizabeff didnt wake up early enough? :P

[MsElizabeff]

@opandaball i guess so =/

[lalakuroba]

PROUD to be kpop fan!!! ....though im not korean.kekeke~

[realesricanina]

no SUPER JUNIOR ???????????

[KryeonWookhun11]

Britney Spears isnt worth being a kpop star!

[Overmelodramaticteen]

@KryeonWookhun11 dont usually like to argue with people on the internet but ill make an exception this time. WTF? britney spears can dance and entertain just as well as any other kpop artist and she has had just as much success and a long career. she is the princess of pop and she is a household name ALL OVER THE WORLD! what do you mean she isnt 'worth' ?? sure she had her ups and downs but shes human after all.

[KryeonWookhun11]

@Overmelodramaticteen I don't want to cause any trouble. But tat was purely my own opinion. It's not tat i don't like Britney Spears.

[Overmelodramaticteen]

@KryeonWookhun11 yeah maybe i over reacted, im not some crazy ass fan lol.. but you know, ive been listening to her since i was 8 so i think its only normal to have a soft spot and be a lil bit defensive. but watever, i apologise if i offended you - everyone has the right to their own opinion :)

[amanda01555]

COME TO MELBOURNE !! LOL :D

[christineelim]

love the girl that said lucifer and did the ring ding dong dance moves

[Gigglesmig]

The interviewers just sound like assholes and I hate James Tobin or whatever his name is he is such a jerk. They make kpop sound stupid...

I really hate sunrise... I prefer to watch the ABC news...

They just make kpop sound like a novelty or something...

[mrfgwankee]

fuck off u import asians.

[FreakinCalvin]

Go go stop!

[eliascsjunior]

DBSK will get a grammy real soon.

[sTerLinGkNiGhT1]

Sorry interviewer, but they are definitely household names for me. All of them.

[anime7world]

WHY AINT MY YG REPRESETIN? Com'n! You would think they would show a glimpse of the Best new band in the WORLD or even the Best World Act winners -_-" I love the artists they showed but still... Boo hoo )':

[DarkkiraraGT]

YAY!!! TVXQ U R AMAZING!!!! hahahahah that gurl was like u have their number and i was like i want their number too!!! XD that guy is sooooooo lucky in our eyes!!~~~ yunho changmin LOVE!!! ;)

[DarkkiraraGT]

LMAO~ UV NEVER HEARD OF THEM!! EVEN THOU I LIKE KPOP HE WAS HILARIOUS CUZ ITS TRUE!! THE GUY ALMOST AT THE END OF VIDEO MAKES IT SOOO NOT CONVINCING THAT KPOP SHOULD BE PAID ATTENTION TOO!! LOL~~ and its funny how the kpop is just being compared to american artists. thats how americans see them....they see them as our older 90's artists. i think they should be more diverse thou to make it global. Lmao at the girl with headphones in her ears during the lives!! wats wrong with u gurl!! its a live!

[yamiing]

dbsk maravillosoos los amoooooo love dBsk DBSK

[sweetdanii09]

SHINee!!

[Dianna1771]

I love that cut they made towards Kay at 1:07!<3 He looks like such and important, big, and professional super star, they way we want our idols to be portrayed(:

[melonwho]

OMG. Mirotic <3

[myvroses]

hell fuck yeah. watching this made me so excited.

[othersunsets]

lol @ the people who don't know what kigurumis are, calling them "animal costumes."

[luvbb23]

@othersunsets lol and that's important....because? it still doesnt remove the fact that the girl looked like an idiot dressed like that. being american, meaning i grew up under a predominantly western influence culture-wise, she looks like a complete joke. this is how a majority other americans view kpop fans.

[crumblesify]

Britney in KPOP? don't think so buddy!

[rlee8212]

let's give it more views so that sunrise talks about it again heheheh

[pjrt91]

@SellySeri I thought the EXACT same thing

[AlannaVision]

Nice message about Kpop. Proud to be a fan.

[blusportiespud]

KPOP is making me proud to be a korean ^^

KPOP FIGHITNG <33333

[elfpanglee]

i understand the girls...she shows the passion and love for kpop like i feel for kpop

[Mytientran101]

Now everyone knows!!YEAH!K-pop spreads more!

[BlueHikari354]

So proud of Girls' Generation <3 <3

[xjeeett]

Aww TVXQ can't speak English ? :(

Kpop is getting more popular :D

[asheley009]

SHINee :D:D

[jkStephanielolz]

some people may not like sm for whatever reason but you have to admit they do kick ass! They have the greatest number of super successful artists! smtown hwaiting!! :)

[Damian155673]

@jkStephanielolz Oh yeah . To the point where their own idols are suing them in court.

[jkStephanielolz]

@Damian155673 ya well thats between sm and their artists

[lKvva]

I SAW KEYY <3

[c50874013]

wah *O* cool TVXQ~~ **

[merakhagen]

Globalization is coming in full force, and I am still stuck in USA doing my little sh*t. If I don't get my butt moving, I am going to get chewed alive. 1:13, wow, Nicole is ultra-cute here.

[iheartbigbang98]

why is it that they really focused in girls generation when they talk about KPOP and not other groups that were there like beast, mblaq, and cn blue?

[d00dz]

The tickets were as little as $60 on sale! Poor people paying $300! lol

[KrazJa]

THATS RITE BITCHES I KNEW ALL THE SONGS IN THIS INTERVIEW :3

[vaho1997]

dude..... the "Kids" you talk about are so much younger and talented than you are. please don't call the leaders of the Hallyu wave "kids that have been picked off the street"

[TheBryanky]

@vaho1997

sigh. if you listen carefully in fact you dont even hav to listen carefully. the guy says "These ARENT some kids off the street" he then goes onto say "they spend $400-$500,000 on them"

[eisfield]

the thing about kpop is that it has a lot of emotion.. unlike all the other types of pop. I never liked pop because it meant nothing to me .. but when i heard kpop i was attracted to it.. i feel so much emotion in the way they sing and the way they perform.. it's amazing. and they actually have talent.. they train so hard for years. each it's is something very different america pop or European pop or whatever.. they are very well trained and the songs are very well thought to became addictive.

[18thRozario]

300 fucking dollar dude

that kinda money should be given to those who are in need (WTF)

Britney in Kpop

HELL NO !!!



[merakhagen]

4:13, (Britney Spears) Don't know, if she is a Kpop artist, she will be digging up octopuses on a muddy beach, make an @ss out of herself in Invincible Youth. Whether she is willing to do those activities, will be a deep question.

[merakhagen]

(the girl wearing the animal costume.... this is why other people don't take kpop seriously!!!) I fathom most people still think pop-stars must be scantily clad, sing about cop-killer and sexual intercourses, in order to be taken seriously?

[merakhagen]

0:40, (you probably never heard of them) I am still surprised some people who still believe main stream media is suppose to be with cable televisions, movie theaters, major newspaper etc. These people continues to ignore the internet. Good luck to those people.

[RehGo]

@merakhagen Belive it or not but majority of people who were watching this as it was broadcast (and also people on the internet for that matter) have never heard of Kpop....and to all the people bashing this report, they were just trying to give a basic intro to show how big kpop really is in comparison to more mainstream pop, so stop acting like everybody has heard of your bias, stop acting so high and mighty, because everything they said was a fact

[merakhagen]

@RehGo I am not acting so high and mighty. Globalization is acting high and mighty. Those people who think their familiar surroundings are "main-stream" and unwilling to accept globalization will be left behind, and that is the fact.

[CuteGapi]

OMG!!! Hallyu wave is very big !!!! many kpop lover here in Saudi Arabia .. and the arabic world!!

love ya KPOP !!

[Damian155673]

How dare he. Comparing Godney to KPOP idols. Godney > KPOP idols. Simple as that. Actually they are kids off the street.. The labels are just molding them into whatever they want them to become. Even if you are not talented , but you look good ( SNSD's Yoona. She can't sing or dance) there will be a spot for you in the group. Maybe they can speak 4 or 5 languages , but most of them don't even now English.

[ParkMale69]

@Damian155673 what is godney

[Damian155673]

@ParkMale69 Godney = Britney Spears. Its a nickname given to her by fans. Also 300$ for a ticket?Thats outrageous!!!. It is not like these KPOP groups are some widely known popular artists all around the world . Who did worldwide tours and sold millions and millions of albums around the globe.

[tigggy123]

@Damian155673 Hey, prices are only as high as their demand...

[Damian155673]

@tigggy123 But its ridiculous ! I wanted to go to the KPOP concert in Las Vegas , but the ticket near the stage are like approx. 350US$, and it is the Thanksgiving week.So count in the cost of a plane ticket , and the hotel. Its just not worth it. SMTOWN NYC was like 220$.

[tigggy123]

@Damian155673 Well...... you just explained it all there. Thanksgiving week (more people available to go), spot near the stage... that means it will be in very high demand. Basic economics. High demand = high prices. If you can't afford it, then don't go. There are plenty of people who are willing to pay the price to go. So therefore, it is not a "rip-off" because nobody is forcing anybody to pay the price to go.

[Damian155673]

@tigggy123 It is basically a rip off.

[ParkMale69]

@Damian155673 spears has more fans than snsd? i would like to see the stats.

[Damian155673]

@ParkMale69 Britney has a 14 year career behind her. She is one of the top selling artists in USA,. She did 7 world solo tours. Not like these KPOP idols who only focus on Asia. She has been nominated and won various awards from all around the world. I'm not counting SMTOWN concerts , cause those are not solo tours.

[ParkMale69]

@Damian155673 kpop idols tried usa, se7en, boa, wonder girls. About stage ticket i would never pay that much to see kpop or any musicians lol.

[lilian23910]

@Damian155673 kpop is quite new. Check out its history, im actually older than it -_-

But kpop idols are catching up. They might not be as big, but 1 kpop fan = 10 normal fans. Kpop fans are loyal to their artists and some may buy different versions of their album in order to support their artists.

[merakhagen]

@Damian155673 I will like to see Godney sing in Chinese/Japanese/German, but she and her management company don't even try. The attitude of not trying can be deadly. Competition is coming through broadband internet. The world is globalized, embrace it or be prepare to be left behind.

[Damian155673]

@merakhagen Well same can be said about them. That I would like to hear this or that group sing in German , Spanish , Italian ,French of any other language. The claim of fame for most , if not all of these KPOP idols is YouTube. If it wasnt for YouTube , people wouldn't even know about the existence of KPOP. I really don't see any of these idols being able to achieve global success and go on a world wide sold out tour. Not Asia and like 2 days in Europe and US .

[sinnad07]

@Damian155673 Have you heard of JYJ?!

[Superyuffie]

the girls who talked around 3:00 are describing my feelings exactly.

[WawaLubsAaronFRH]

K-POP IS THE BEST.

[365musiclover]

Omg this is y I love kpop!!! Snsd u rock!

[OT5AlwaysDB5K]

lol animal constume, its not carnival xD 

[luvbb23]

OH GOD... @ 2:46 the girl wearing the animal costume.... this is why other people don't take kpop seriously!!!

[GaleNexus]

@luvbb23 What's crazier is that all the other girls were REALLY well dressed. Legit, they had some cute outfits! Why couldn't pikachu over there follow suit?! XDD

[NeonAvangel]

@luvbb23 Ever think that maybe the girl WAS taking Kpop seriously? She's probably a Jonghyun fan. He wore the same suit from a show SHINee did. :P

[FaheemaIsHappy]

2:17 SHINee!! 

[Yashagoro]

yeaahh, show them tvxq! :)

[MixRmmy]

They didn't even mention Suju?

[superspace407]

@MixRmmy because super junior did not come to australia at that time. and not performing also. maybe because that. but, we know that super junior is the halyu star :)

[footballchica026]

wish they would've mentioned super junior

[jannesaJMidol]

omg... i followed those girls in tumblr...

[youcuckoo]

"If Britney Spears were Korean, she would be a kpop artist." <--errr...facepalm?? I mean, duh, if Britney Spears were Korean she would be a kpop artist. That's basically restating the statement, if Britney Spears were American, she would be an American pop artist.

[ElleQuan]

This report makes me SO SO SOOOO PROUD 2 B A KPOP LOVER <3

[newmessage009]

Aussie sones, cassies etc. reunite!

[AbercrombieQT88]

This is honestly the best interview I have ever seen done for kpop. Usually they last only a couple seconds, but this one actually went into the depth of it. I'm just waiting for a Kpop 60 seconds edition now.

[keauxgeigh]

K-pop should be taken seriously as any other pop music? K-pop is the ONLY pop music I take seriously. True about Britney Spears, though. Actually, a lot of K-pop is so influenced by Britney's sound that I can actually tolerate a handful of her songs now.

[hasnieyItachi]

aww...no MBLAQ...after i try really hard i spot a glimpse of yang seungho n joon...erm..just half of their face...

[hasnieyItachi]

"u still have his scent" LOL~

[tidexxedit]

2 people didn't afford to go the consert

[lifesaviours]

'kid from the street' dude, they work they're ass of for years b4 bcoming like this, it's not a random pick, the earn it, shishh

[cabZAYE]

@lifesaviours he actually says "these aren't kids off the street" ... if you listen to his whole sentence he mentions how companies invest a lot of money training them up for up to 4-5 yrs....

[1412Bunny]

@lifesaviours - thats what he was saying. He was saying that they're not just some kid off the street, but highly trained professionals.

[zeva98]

I'm surprised they didn't say anything about Super Junior.

[Kpopmusicable]

@zeva98

Super Junior didnt perform at the Kpop Music fest in Sydney.

[aiyatuc]

I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention to anything except that reporter and his lovely accent. 

[21282517]

watching this make me so proud ;A;

[kain411]

Damnit it they cut out the one of the best bit of the song ~ "GG"

[IloveGod103]

TVXQ ! :D Awesome.

[qlAoK3li]
