The Male Crayon Pop? K-Much

Crayon Pop's "Bar Bar Bar" was one of the more surprising K-Pop songs to grace the charts last year. The helmets, pogo stick dance and cherry cheerleader like chants made it all the rage and should of had the crossover power of PSY's "Gangnam Style", but didn't. Now it seems as if Chrome Entertainment is sharing the wealth with the other acts on their roster. Cue K-Much, the male counterparts of Crayon Pop.
And their first act: "Bar Bar Bar 2.5"(we had 2.0 with "Lonely Christmas"). Rather it being a carbon copy of "Bar Bar Bar" it's more of a homage/re-imaging of the song. I actually like this somewhat better than "Bar Bar Bar", but I wonder how the guys feel after probably training for years and then debuting with a recycled concept? 
While the song is a friendly redux, the video is pretty epic. The boys, who are travelling from a hard day at school, re-enact the pogo stick dance and summon some large sea creature type thing, which attacks them. After being transported to some strange realm, Queen Ellin, annoyed for mocking her groups flaw-free dancing, has pity on them and revives them with the power of her uncle fans. The boys are now looking H-A-W-T in S-W-A-T uniforms and proceed to charm the pants of every girl in Korea and international K-Pop fans alike.
