Wannabe rapper So Ji Sub say whut? I can’t decide if this is a good or a bad thing, probably a little bit of both. What’s undeniable is that it’s a reality and not just a figment of So Ji Sub’s musical aspirations. For a guy who has gotten accolades for being an actor, So Ji Sub is trying way too hard to destroy his credibility and reverse engineer himself into a music idol. Forget it being a bad idea, he’s about 10 years too old to try rapping his way into the hearts of the club kids. Sadly his agent is either himself or an enabler because after releasing some rap singles back in 2011, So Ji Sub is back to ring in 2013 by releasing a mini album of 5 new rap songs to show “his true self”. *headdesk* Aside from hurting our ears some more, if we watch the MVs on mute it will be the treatiest of treats because So Ji Sub got his min-me Yoo Seung Ho and awesome MV leading lady Park Shin Hye to co-star with him in it! Okay, I’m so in with that its not even funny. It’s like So Ji Sub shoots me in the foot first and then gives me a Cartier diamond ring.
The MV has So Ji Sub playing a 30-something guy, while Yoo Seung Ho is his 20-something self, and Park Shin Hye plays a top star who the male lead has loved going on a decade of his life. In the MV, Park Shin Hye edges further into her adult image by having a very sexy grinding dance. Please god let it be with Yoo Seung Ho’s version of the male lead, because I’m not ready to see her grinding on oppa So Ji Sub. Apparently both Yoo Seung Ho and Park Shin Hye dropped everything and came rushing over the second So Ji Sub called them on this. This will mark the 3rd collaboration between So Ji Sub and Yoo Seung Ho, they did an MV back in 2008 (where Yoo Seung Ho also played the younger version of So Ji Sub) as well as a series of refrigerator CFs. Park Shin Hye expressed unbridled excitement for this chance to work with her two favorite male actors despite being busy filming Flower Boy Next Door. This MV will be released at the end of January as a 12-minute mini-movie as well as cut into 2 separate singles.
So Ji Sub already tried rapping once when he released “Pick Up Line” back in 2011. It was…..unwatchable. Utterly cringe-inducing. The pictures below belie my opinion. If you are morbidly curious, check out the MV for the “rap” ditty. I’m praying to god these new MVs with Yoo Seung Ho and Park Shin Hye are classier. Or at least less mockworthy.
So Ji Sub for “Pick Up Line”:
thanks so much for update. can’t wait for the two young cuties getting together in a sexy dance.
as embarrassing as his rap persona is, i find it kinda charming, in a what the fack does this dork this he is doing? kinda way. and plenty entertaining.
Park Shin Hye is seriously lucky! She gets to act with all the HOTTIE!!! kekekee…as for So Ji Sub’s rapping…definitely muting the video when it’s release and will only be watching for Shin Hye and Seung Ho!
“”will only be watching for Shin Hye and Seung Ho””
ditto… he he
L M A O !!!!!
That’s All I can do!!
Didn’t watch it.. won’t watch it… no.. no… no … no!!! It might destroy my image of him..
Hahahaha!! Wow, and this isn’t ironic either. I love it. This dude is a total dweeb! He’s hot and lame at the same time. I have a weak spot for that kind of guy in real life, and its gotten me where I am now…single. Yeah, this type of dude is usually a total butthole that won’t listen to reason and just does anything that he deems to be a good idea.
Meanwhile, did a post-humous Michael Jackson make a cameo in his video? That was the only part that genuinely scared me. It was all laughter until that guy showed up and then things got serious… I couldn’t find the pause button fast enough.
Thanks Captain Koala for the unexpected roller coaster of emotions that video brought on. Makes me feel alive 😉
joins you koala sis *headdesk!!!!*
After reading ur description of that mv, I just had to click on it to see. And u are spot on for this. Curiosity kills and ain’t that so true =_=’. Couldn’t even get past half of it. My eyes……
This just confirms what we all said when we heard about the casting for Flower Boy(s) Next Door: PSH must have saved multiple civilizations ancestors to Doctors withour Boarders volunteers in a previous life. She is beautiful, talented, funny, and she gets to be in stuff with some of the most beautiful men on the planet who seem to think she is beautiful, talented, and funny. She seems to be on shows that have the best ofscreen chemistry and bonding, which I am assuming has something to do with her personality.
I will be waiting for the drama (no melo please!) with her and YSH in two years when he is finished with his military service. Dramagods, make this happen!
“PSH must have saved multiple civilizations ancestors to Doctors withour Boarders volunteers in a previous life”
lol~lol~~~ you remind me about that words again 😛
OH NO so ji sub. I hope this won’t be bad like this Pick up line MV. Can’t we just stick on you being HOT in a classic way not like a gigolo?! lol.
I’m more excited about the story of the MV.
As long as YOO SEUNG HO & PARK SHIN HYE ARE IN IT count me in! <3
stick with* you
Yikes… He must stick to acting. He is too old to be rapping. He must wake up to reality that he is not black eyed peas material.
I for one is looking forward to the MV because of PSH being with So ji sub and YSH. I saw SJS for the first time in the drama “ghost” and liked him and then searched about him on hearing this news. He has a pretty good sense of humour and very well respected actor. The above video has to be among the worst. I could not complete any of his music videos. The only one I could was the refrigerator cf with YSY and wow…they could pass for brothers or father and son. i do hope PSH will not be there just for dancing even though she is great at it. Since the rapping part will be a small part of the MV, I think I will definitely manage to enjoy it.
Hahahaha! plain ridiculous!
Did not watch the MV because the guy is an actor. *shudders*
I guess if idols can enter dramas and movies, actors can enter the music industry. It’s all good. LOL!
Dayum, So Ji Sub rapping? And in leopard prints too? Ain’t that dope? Hahaha!
SJS loves to rap, and his fans enjoy to share his music with him. I am one. so i’m really happy with this new project, can’t wait for it
his corona boreallis cd was really good (i bought it) his songs are really catching 🙂
I was excited until I watched the video. OMG doesn’t he have people to tell him not to do stuff like that…*cringe*
You guys should watch ‘Such A Story’ from So Ji Sub ->
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyHF6wAytwI
LMAO! Oh well, at least he has a great cast for his MV. That’s it.
As for that other music video he did for his 3rd single, that was embarrassing to watch.
I love So Ji Sub ever since WHIB but what da??? *banging head on the desk while listening to him rapping* *wanting to poke my eyes while watching the vid* and that hair??!!
o wow, the video looks like one of those fake hip pop videos burger king or carl’s jr. would do for their burger commercials (and at least those commercials are suppose to be intentionally funny)
*cringes*
No, Oppa, NO!!! Every time I try to forget So Ji Sub’s rapper alter ego, G, someone manages to remind me. Alas, this time it’s So Ji Sub himself…via Ms. Koala.
Why? Why, Oppa?! You are shooting an arrow straight into this rap lover’s heart…and it’s not a cupid’s arrow.
I’m not necessarily a rap snob but I feel so awkward listening to really bad rap. I lub you, So Ji Sub BBY, but this is not what’s up.
And yet…I feel torn because my loves Yoo Seung Ho and Park Shin Hye will be in it. And it’s one of the last bits of My Jailbait Boo I’ll get to see before he enlists. *sigh* Trials of a Asian Media lover…
Hi,dear Koala,,
I’m a fan of both YSH and PSH,, n really looking forward to their collaboration 🙂
Have you read thundies’s post about YSH’s enlistment?
thundiesprattle.com/2012/12/22/little-jisub/
Thx
its only trick of management to get SJS video mv become most wanted watch,,YSH as the most wanted artist after his role as Harry borrison has standing ovation from his fans,ppl will looking for another of his act 4 d’last time b4 enlist the military,,,I hope his collaboration with PSH will be better than YEH or minimally as cute as her cz im the big fan of YEH and YSH
No age limit on rap, sorry kids. But to be taken seriously, the type of raps you release and produce are critical (content and sound). Some of the world’s best rappers are past their proverbial “prime.”
As for SKS, I was fine with the faceless “G” and his small performance on the Cain and Abel ost. Beyond that… *sigh.* Though it’s similar to other stars that shouldn’t enter the music industry just ’cause it’s always been a dream or a random friend says “Ooh you have a nice voice. Why aren’t you using it?”
However, I take it all as innocent fun on their parts and so glad it’s not I that have to lie and cater to them. YSH and PSH will be interesting and I agree I’m not ready for her to saunter anywhere near SJS cause my first thought is they bring to mind my youngest uncle and myself at that age. Not quite visually old enough to be her father but just right for pedophilic misunderstandings.
How bad can it get with so many wonderful, talented people involved in it. The best being YSH and PSH. The singing is by Younha( a good singer from what I hear) and some rapping by SJS. It is more of a musical drama so that is something different from previous SJS ventures into music field. Hope it has totally different look from what he has done until now. Looking forward to it with some concerns after reading everyone’s input.
Just read about YSH filming with PSH at a club for 6 hrs. She is also said to be doing a dance In the MV. YSY and SJS are not together in any scene. So piecing things together it seems as if the younger two will have a scene with PSH dancing…?
It’s not so bad!!! It lacks movement, but he is kind of nice in his awkward way.Good for him to do what he always wanted. Chapeau !!
Yoo Seung Ho and Park Shin Hye r0cks! If SJS rapping sucks I will just activate the mute button as Koala noona suggested and enjoy the MV with YSH on it since it will be one of the few projects he wil have before he will do his MS. Im just gonna enjoy it to my heart’s content coz it will take two years for me to see YSH again…
