Haha wants to be Johnny Depp

20071210_haha_sunye

Is Haha trying too hard to live up to his name or does he really think that he can imitate hottie Johnny Depp with his pirate costume? Or is he just using visuals and help from fellow singers to cover up his weak vocals? Whatever his reason is, Haha’s comeback performance on SBS Inkigayo became a hit among the netizens. Check out Haha’s new single “You are my Destiny” with Wondergirl’s Sunye.

However “Tell Me” dance to a different beat just seems so wrong.

    He doesn’t sound bad live…at least he sang it live…unlike some other “singers” who lipsyning all the time,ironically,those “singers” are able to win awards

    Yes, I think Haha is imitating Johnny Depp… on purpose…
    How is that weird?

    it thought it was cute. really really cute.
    and the song is very catchy too.
    ^^;

    the song reminds me of sean kingston’s ‘beautiful girl’

  5. 7 hearmeroar December 10, 2007 at 11:43 pm

    HAHAHAHA i love him :D
    obviously he’s not known for his spectacular vocals or anything -_- but the song is cute
    sunye was really randomly standing there… was it just me or did she look really out of place & awkward? hahahhaa

  6. 8 grace December 11, 2007 at 12:24 am

    does sunye even sing in this track? whats up with that?
    Also, the “jack sparrow” thing is from his moohan dojun thing. He made up a name for himself and although i dont remember most of it, it ended with “jack sparrow”. I believe that is his American alter ego. :)

    Gotta love him though

    I love him! he is a showman, his performances are so funnies!

  8. 10 hellaakon December 11, 2007 at 1:14 am

    I heard he was a singer…but I didn’t realize he actually…you know…sang. =P

  9. 11 chiaye December 11, 2007 at 1:28 am

    goodness sunhye is seriously SOOO random being there.. -___-;; why is she featured when she doesnt sing… -______________-;;;;;

  10. 12 ireenee December 11, 2007 at 1:31 am

    HA HA…its so haha to see him wearing like that

  11. 13 Eve December 11, 2007 at 2:06 am

    haha if his personality wasn’t so AMAZING ~ he would be dissed so much lol. I Love Haha and it’s a great song but nope – he’s definitely not a vocalist.

  12. 14 danaburger December 11, 2007 at 2:17 am

    Obviously trying to cash in the “Sean Kingston” sound.
    But you can’t copyright a sound….

  13. 15 East Sea December 11, 2007 at 3:08 am

    It is a sampling of Stand By Me by Ben E King….

  14. 16 Raye December 11, 2007 at 3:40 am

    I like this alot. His voice is nice i thought he was going to sound worse then this.

  15. 17 o-cha December 11, 2007 at 3:40 am

    Am I the only one who thinks that Haha looks hot there? hehehehe…I think he looks good..and he is making a name more as a comedian nowadays anyway…He sounds fine..not great not bad.

  16. 18 lalala December 11, 2007 at 3:44 am

    hey popseoul,
    i tried e-mailing, but it wouldn’t quite work, so i’m just posting it on here,

    but can you do a post on Buzz’s Min Kyung Hoon’s solo comeback? cuz that’s a hype among music lovers right now, and his debut was much anticipated, so if u could get the word out there that he’s officially back =)
    (no bashing please.. haa)

    oh, and do another post on Yurisangja’s amazing performance on Yoon Do Hyun’s Love Letter where they mixed the 3 most popular songs by Wonder Girls, Big bang, and FT Island (it’s on Youtube). It’s been a favorite in korea and i’m sure ur bloggers will appreciate :) thanks!!!

  17. 19 YeXing December 11, 2007 at 4:16 am

    HAHA! It’s so like Haha to to this. I think he looks pretty good in that outfit…he may not be Johnny Depp, but Haha still look pretty good. And yeah…Haha’s voice is not vocalist material, but at least the song is catchy. ^.^

  18. 20 ichigo3 December 11, 2007 at 4:42 am

    Oh…the important thing is that he does his best^^
    And I think he had fun. I don’t know him, so I can’t judge his performance (I didn’t watch the video).

  19. 21 reina December 11, 2007 at 5:24 am

    he looks good
    haha its great !!!!!!!

  20. 22 br0wnied December 11, 2007 at 6:21 am

    i agree! what a sean kingston wannabe ):
    why can’t these song writers write something more original? shame on them)=

  21. 23 Lane December 11, 2007 at 7:02 am

    ~I agree….its really catchy!….la la la la la la la

  22. 24 leash December 11, 2007 at 7:52 am

    That wasn’t bad…..but what’s with his voice???

  23. 25 H December 11, 2007 at 8:08 am

    that was a really cute performance.

  24. 26 jojo December 11, 2007 at 9:01 am

    I think HAHA looks GOOD here! And he is immitating Johnny Depp??? What’s the point? I also like the song!

  25. 27 drop December 11, 2007 at 9:17 am

    hmm….i really like Ha-Ha but maybe he should stick to being a comedian? I mean, he wasn’t bad, but…he wasn’t really great, either you know?

    It was cute, though.

    But Sunye looks so awkward. She didn’t even do anything but stand there and look pretty (and trying to be cute when she took the hook thing and scratched her head with it) until it came time for the Tell Me dance (which was sooo weird to different music….)

  26. 28 Stephaine December 11, 2007 at 9:25 am

    i love HAHA he is so funny and love sunye

  27. 29 toocutedoggy December 11, 2007 at 9:41 am

    haha = haha ^^

  28. 30 janepak December 11, 2007 at 10:37 am

    “feat. sunye” lol

    i kinda like this song actually ^^

  29. 31 lyn December 11, 2007 at 11:09 am

    HAHA. What a rip-off! He’s using Sean Kingston beats.

    This is like the korean version of “Beautiful girls.”
    Good grief, Haha is like too old to do this kind of music.

  30. 32 yoyo199 December 11, 2007 at 11:50 am

    i thought the song was very cutee and catchy
    wut a performer! i love haha
    he is soo funny!

    it doesn’t matter that he is using sean kingston’s beats. korean artists do that ALL THE TIME. they use a beat that was used in a famous american song and then change everything but that too make a single..duh…

    the only thing that struck a question was…why is sunye there??? she didn’t sing…what was her purpose? besides doing the tell me dance…was her presence necessary?

  31. 33 May December 11, 2007 at 2:40 pm

    lmao. SunYe’s appearance was random. but hey, I’m not complaining.

  32. 34 uhuh December 11, 2007 at 3:58 pm

    luv him and his new song :)

  33. 35 causeimcoollikethat December 11, 2007 at 6:52 pm

    im guessing his inspiration for this song was SEAN KINGSTON.
    yup, Haha’s song sounds just like it minus the pirate outfit.

  34. 36 ym December 11, 2007 at 9:17 pm

    sunye is sooooo prettttyyyyy! (;

  35. 37 mikalay December 12, 2007 at 12:39 am

    Haha-shi….I like his song..He is actually cool.I think he just want to make some funny songs. But,I have a friend and she loves J.D. so muchhhhhhhh.If I show this to her-man, she just gonna kill me. Nwy, I love HAHA-SHI.CUte oppa!-lol-

  36. 38 fazzy2faz December 12, 2007 at 1:12 am

    Love the song & the ‘Tell Me’ dance at the end shows HaHa uniqueness… I love the remix he did of Turbo’s songs in XMan…

  37. 39 Cassidy December 12, 2007 at 12:07 pm

    Aww, I like this song, but the hat is completely wrong.

  38. 40 krnonthak0b December 14, 2007 at 4:49 am

    Haha is an entertainer i don’t know why you feel the urge to bash on him he tries to entertain and he does it well… just because he dresses up like jack sparrow doesn’t mean he thinks he’s johnny depp. You should stop making stupid assumptions and if you saw his comeback performance on Music Bank, he didn’t rely on a themed stage or appearances by some other star.

  39. 41 erb December 20, 2007 at 11:54 pm

    He didnt sound so bad!! and I think i like the song, its very easy to listen to. =D

    Goodjob HAHA!!

  40. 42 R. Kelly February 6, 2008 at 9:52 am

    Haha is trying to imitate Captain Sparrow on purpose. It’s his whole shtick. The guy has nothing else except imitation, which is the lowest form of comedy next to puns.
