K-pop has become a global phenomenon with massive fandoms, viral dances, and some of the biggest music videos on the internet. The music videos are big dance right now is that I'm not anymore. Today, we're putting American high schoolers to the test to see how much K-pop they actually recognize. Actually, I know none. I don't think I know. I know like the we're going up. They're going to react to K-pop songs, viral Tik Toks, and earn points by naming the artist or the song with some trivia along the way. Think you got it?
No. But it's okay. Not, but we can have fun. Try. We're in the easy round for one point. This is going to be an image clue. You'll get a point for the artist or the song if you bet. Okay. Hunters Huntress. Yes. She needs to push this away from you or her little arms. My arms are on it. That wasn't fair. Juliana. Okay. Bob, it is. Let's go. I forgot to read. The song is Golden by Hunrix and it's in K-pop Demon Hunters.
Yes. And the song Golden blends K-pop hyperpop and cinematic orchestral elements because the song was designed to sound like the final boss battle anthem for the climax of the movie K-pop Demon Hunters. Yeah. So, have any of you seen K-pop Demon Hunters? Okay. Did you like it? You be honest. I'll give it a five out of 10. Five out of 10. It wasn't my favorite just because like I watch I've watched a lot of animated cartoons and I mean like I've seen better cartoons.
I definitely know it. It's like one of those subconscious fan things where I can't outwardly be like, I love K-pop Demon Hunters, but I hear the songs on the radio and I'm like, if I'm being honest, it was I would watch it again just because of the song and like the music is the girl in the purple hairless. If you're like most people, you probably forgot Mother's Day is coming up and now the only gift option available is a sad bouquet of grocery store flowers. Well, what if I told you there was actually a different gift that's way more personal and meaningful? It's called drama.land, and it basically lets you turn your photos and memories into a full-on personalized music video within minutes.
You upload your photos, pick a song, and it turns everything into a really sweet video. I made one for my mom. I uploaded some old baby photos and pictures of us over the years, pick the song that I knew would pull on my mom's heartstrings, and boom, I have a video I know she's going to love. Small things from falling apart made a home feel easy right in your heart. And I didn't say it enough back when I was small. But every good thing. And look, I know AI gets a bad rap sometimes, but this is actually a wholesome use of it. Like turning your memories into something your mom will literally cry over. That's a win. and something I can get behind. And the best part is you don't need one bit of editing skills. It just takes a few
minutes. You can even do it the morning of on Mother's Day. I mean, don't do that, but you definitely could. Make something your mom will actually remember.
