Crayon Pop



Crayon Pop seem like naturally good dancers who've been given very simple dance moves. If they were American, I would assume on the basis of how this looks that they were aimed at the Disney or Nickelodeon audience. But I realize that in Korea that could be a misreading (yet "young audience" might well explain the simplicity of the dance moves: something for the tykes to imitate with ease).

Speaking of cultural misreadings, when I first heard Crayon Pop, without seeing them, I thought, "Hmmm, sounds like indie dance pop," that is, a detached, knowing version of cute. Not that teenyboppers and their mentors can't purvey a detached, knowing version of cute. But really, I wouldn't have been surprised to see bohos in their mid 20s.
