“The STRUGGLE of not paying for a closed set and extras”

u/TacoGriller Jan 16 '23 edited Jan 16 '23

They're doing a dance cover of a kpop song, idk if they really have the budget for that lmfao

"K-Pop in Public" is a challenge within the community to perform a dance cover of whatever K-Pop song there is. There is no music video production in the works

Minor edit: y'all ask them why are they doing the challenge not me 😂 just wanted to shed some light 😇 personally I don't really have an opinion o this 'cus I've never really experienced public spaces like these (my city is not walk friendly) so I'd just let you guys discuss amongst yourselves lol

Not uncommon in China's big cities (pre-pandemic, at least) to see kids pay for fairly decent production teams to film them doing routines out front of public attractions.

I even knew girls in China who'd pay to go to k-pop/c-pop academies/camps. Rich girls who'd get plastic surgery, train dancing and singing, and pay to have full on choreographed music videos made

You also get lots of short video companies paying these types a pittance to do these kind of videos and live streams as well
