Da Vici’s 5 minutes are almost up

20080121davici2

Who is Da Vici? Well, the mysterious R&B duo is an example of another artist who is debuting themselves by having famous stars in the music video. Sounds familiar? Well, not too long ago, new singer Magolpy also used the same concept. Where is she now? The ultra slim singer quickly faded to the background- like her music video and her career.

To ensure the media’s interest, Da Vici’s debut music video will feature sexy Lee Hyori (29) and actress Lee Miyeon (37) as the female duo from the classic girls movie, Thelma and Louise. With such famous stars, the production costs were estimated at half a million USD.

Mnet will air 1 minute teasers on January 21st, 2008 and the full MV and album will be released on January 28th, 2008.

    Too many artists popping out… to little population.

    Epic failure in Kpop.

    I knew that was Hyori. I’d recognize those sawed off little bow legs anywhere.

  7. 7 Annie January 21, 2008 at 4:20 am

    Hyori’s heels look freaky. But she’s pretty.

  8. 8 Rina January 21, 2008 at 4:35 am

    If they are fom YG/JYPE/SM/MNET they will not FLOp, else they will flop.

    what’s the story behind thelma and louise?

  15. 15 Laruel January 21, 2008 at 10:27 am

    Jenny is probably anti-Korean. That’s why she has so much hate for everyone here. She sounds like a retard too.

  16. 16 Annie January 21, 2008 at 11:35 am

    F* You Laruel….you’re probably anti-korean

  17. 17 mist January 21, 2008 at 11:55 am

  18. 18 Raihana January 21, 2008 at 11:56 am

  19. 19 No On BrAgGaRtS January 21, 2008 at 12:28 pm

    Jenny dear, thanks for the compliment.
    I feel like I want to commit suicide.
    I look like a monkey!

  20. 20 Cutie January 21, 2008 at 12:31 pm

    Hmm… never knew LMY was 37~

    Anyways, I’m looking forward to how the mv (and song) will turn out ^^

    Hey Popseoul, don’t be stupid and retarded…

    Do you really expect artists to always pop out albums right after their singles? That’s pretty childish of you. I don’t know about this Da Vici group or even Magolpy, but you can’t just base failure off of no immediate album following a single.

    Here’s some history for you, but well known Korean hip-hop MC, Jo PD, first put out his songs on the Internet, but never showed his face and no album followed immediately, however he gained so much popularity even though he didn’t just “pop” out into TV shows or CFs right after his singles over the Internet.

    It’s not easy making albums in Korea. There’s a whole bunch of elements that come into play, especially funding for things related to album making (which is never an easy thing because of Korea’s poor economic state it has been in), time spent in creating great music, and a whole bunch of other things.

    Kim Bum Soo didn’t show his actual face until after his third album or appear in TV shows either, but he still gained so much popularity for his singing ability. Da Vici and Magolpy are using these stars to tease, gain popularity, and keep viewers on the edge of their seats for something good to come. It’s called good marketing strategy.

    I’m pretty sure Magolpy is using this time away from the “spotlight” to refine her singing. Don’t be dumb and criticize on the spot just by what you see now.

  22. 22 Laruel January 21, 2008 at 12:42 pm

    Annie, how am I anti-Korean? I didn’t even comment any thing else.

    Jenny and Annie are the same person. :] Right? Why else would you defend Jenny? Lame. Morons should not be allowed to go on the internet or touch anything with electronics.

  23. 23 whatever~ January 21, 2008 at 1:50 pm

    I’m not really feeling the concept. I just hope is not one of those MVs that last like half and hour. I still remember Magolpy, she had such a cute MV but I guess she couldn’t live up to all that expectation.

  24. 24 mIcHeLlE-LuVz-KaNgIn January 21, 2008 at 2:12 pm

    i’m not really interested in their mv.

  25. 25 ash January 21, 2008 at 3:42 pm

    A Korean girl with a gun… that’s….
    tuh-guh-wuh!

  26. 26 Anti Jenny.. January 21, 2008 at 4:43 pm

    this mv look interesting for me…l
    ol Jenny-Annie must be the same person..this jenny thing make me tired..i cant believe such a retard people still exist…what a waste of oxygen!!!!

  27. 27 nicole January 21, 2008 at 6:28 pm

  28. 28 ... January 21, 2008 at 8:41 pm

  29. 29 Di January 22, 2008 at 1:17 am

    I’m curious to watch the MV cuz Thelma and Louise are awesome. But other than that…my hopes aren’t too high. :p

  30. 30 Annie January 22, 2008 at 3:04 am

    You guys should stop being so naive. Its pretty obvious that Jenny used my username to write the above post. But why does it matter. If the little girl wants attention then let her be.

  31. 31 shoo January 22, 2008 at 8:10 am

    take ur childish fight somewhere please…don’t spoil the fun for everyone. no one needs nor wants to hear you guys argue.

  32. 32 spellingbee January 22, 2008 at 8:06 pm

    sounds like Da Vinci. did i see spelling error?

  33. 33 resabambino January 23, 2008 at 12:46 am
