    It has been revealed that between the North Koreans, the most popular dance is from the music video of Lee Jung Hyun's Ban (Half).

    A North Korean radio broadcast revealed that every night, young people at their friends' homes, would dance to "Ban" and some learn the dance.

    Its been siad that if you "ask a flower swallow to dance under a bridge, they would do the "ban" dance."

    Not only the young, but many of the elderly like "Ban" as a Korean dance that they would want to show off how well their grandchildern and their friends would dance to "Ban." Especially during birthday parties, this dance is danced to bring the mood to the party.

    One said, "When you are down, after listening to this song, you feel happy and pumped," and another said, "This song is like drugs."

    "Ban" is from Lee Jung Hyun's 3rd Album, in 2001, and recieved a lot of population in China also. Its been said that the North KOreans first discovered this song and dance from the Chinese, during a broadcast.

    That sounds like fun ^_^ Seems like the Ban-dance is the equivalent to the Macarena-dance (Yeah, we're still dancing to that one over here :Blush: )

    Yeah, the dance is incredibly addictive. Wonder if it's possible to make it a worldwide hit - 10 years after its release :Thinking:
