Top stars made surprise appearances in K-pop idol music videos and became hot topics.
From Hong Kong’s top actor Tony Leung, Jung Ho Yeon, who is receiving worldwide attention thanks to Netflix’s “Squid Game”, to Han So Hee, who has various charms, they appeared in music videos of popular K-pop idols one after another, adding immersiveness.
Side A and Side B versions of the music video for “Cool With You”, one of the triple title songs of NewJeans‘ 2nd mini-album “Get Up” released on July 20th, were unveiled. Earlier, it was known that two unexpected global stars would appear in the music video for “Cool With You”, so interest was high.
Amid various speculations about who the two global stars would be, the two were Tony Leung and Jung Ho Yeon. The content of the music video for “Cool With You” is a modern adaptation of the story of Cupid (or Eros in Greek Mythology), in which Jung Ho Yeon plays Eros, who chooses to give up her divine status and pursue her object of affection. Tony Leung appeared relatively briefly, but he captivated viewers with just his eyes and aroused admiration.
In particular, it was revealed that Tony Leung received no payment for his appearance in the “Cool With You” MV. Executive producer Min Hee Jin sent the script to Tony Leung through a mutual acquaintance, and the actor, after confirming the MV’s story, accepted the role without any question about the appearance duration or remuneration.
Tony Leung expressed his affection for Korea through NewJeans’ agency ADOR, “We had a good relationship, and I wanted to give a small gift to Korean fans.”
Jung Ho Yeon also said, “Every staff member, including NewJeans, Tony Leung and Dolphiners Films, gathered strength and filmed happily. I hope that pleasant energy will be delivered to viewers.”
The two left a strong impression by showing desperate and charismatic acting without a single line, adding fun to the music video.
Netizens reacted enthusiastically, such as “Their charisma is no joke“, “I got goosebumps at Tony Leung’s appearance. Both of them are so good at acting“, “Tony Leung’s appearance (in the music video). This is a symbol of NewJeans’ star quality“…
Actress Han So Hee appeared in the MV for BTS Jungkook’s first solo single “Seven”, which is receiving a lot of love both at home and abroad.
“Seven” is a passionate serenade with lyrics about wanting to be with the loved one all week. In line with the song’s description, Jungkook and Han So Hee appear as lovers fighting all week in the music video. Jungkook tries to prove his love for his lover Han So Hee. Even though Han So Hee looks at it pathetically, she eventually gives Jungkook her hand and they walk hand in hand.
The fresh meeting between the two attracted attention right after the music video teaser was released. As proof of this, the “Seven” music video topped YouTube’s “Trending” chart for “rapidly rising videos” in various countries/regions shortly after its release and surpassed 10 million views in about 4 hours. Currently, it has surpassed 86 million views based on the official YouTube channel of “HYBE Labels”.
Top stars’ appearances in K-pop idol music videos prove that K-pop’s status has increased. In addition, expectations are high on which other top stars will meet K-pop idols after Tony Leung, Jung Ho Yeon and Han So Hee.
