I found this strange video a year ago and still review it from time to time. Apart from its obvious comic value, I find it oddly beautiful. Its visual incongruity– a Korean man dancing a very American dance to a very undancable piece of music– and sad, faded, washed-out tint seem eerily appropriate for the song. That the music, reverberating around the room, is diegetic (played within the scene itself, rather than superimposed in post-production) is also somehow important.
Very strange. And actually better than the real music video. Sorry, Michel.
