The YouTube caption says "Hilarious use of a Korean pop song during a Japanese 'ninja tournament,'" though I don't know one way or another whether Chuli & Miae ever got airplay in Japan. I wouldn't expect that they did, since I don't think many Korean songs got international airplay at the time. But I don't know this, either.
I gather from the YouTube comments that use of the word "Ninja" is even more problematic than use of the song. I wouldn't know, since I understand little more than zero about the martial arts.
Btw, William Deluca, a guy saying he's Miae's husband, posts on that comment thread. According to his own YouTube page, she's now a dance teacher in New York City. He (or she, using his account) uploads vids of her dancing (on her own, with friends, and with students):
Er, they're not letting me embed with the right ratio. Go here:
