K-Pop Idol’s Song Unexpectedly Becomes A Viral Meme

Recently, a past K-Pop song has suddenly gone viral online as a new meme.

The song is from TVXQ Yunho’s second mini album, NOIR, titled “Thank U.” This song has been spreading like wildfire online on various platforms.

In particular, the music video has been used to create various short-form content, as many past music broadcast stages have resurfaced on TV and YouTube channels.

Keeping up with the trend, KBS uploaded a new video of his music broadcast performance from 2021, and garnered much attention.

This song first became a meme thanks to internet BJ LookSam, who watched the music video during his reaction content. The music video featured top actors, including Hwang Jung Min and Lee Jung Hyun, creating a noir-film-style video that didn’t fit with the lyrics.
