This week in the Gaon Chart's top twenty

Gummy performing Sanullim's "개구쟁이," with a rap by T.O.P. From a Korean singing contest, but one that uses established performers. Don't know how good a comparison this is, but think of if Kelly Rowland and Drake decided to cover Grand Funk. Anyway, pretty good, Gummy sounding uncharacteristically raw-voiced, like a Mexican pop singer; T.O.P. sounding like T.O.P.; and the band rollicking along like Delaney & Bonnie and friends.



Couldn't find the original version, but here's Sanullim's lead singer, Kim Chang-wan, doing it a year or so ago [EDIT: well, that link is dead, but I found what might be the original]:



Galaxy Express rocking it out several years ago:



(I see the song title translated variously as "Rogue," "Rascal," or "Brat," if any of you know which of those — or some other — is the best. "Gummy," by the way, means "spider" in Korean, not "bear.")
