Kung Fu Pop is not poppin

Since his failure in breaking out in the music industry in 2007, Nam Hyun Joon, otherwise known as Poppin Hyun Joon, has joined the Hallyu wave to try his hand as a big screen actor.

Kung Fu Pop is his new Hallyu vehicle where Nam plays one of three main dancers who compete not only for love but for the title “Dancing King”. Based on the storyline alone, the movie sounds like a flop.

Mr. Nam may soon be wash up of the Hallyu wave, like, you know  Magic Feet, you know.

Kung Fu Pop, also starring Fann Bing Bing and Jordan Chan Siu-chun opened in China at the end of July 2008.

    Sounds lame and definitely unoriginal.

    Love Fan Bing Bing! I’ve heard of him…he seems like a pretty good dancer! Why didn’t he make it in the kpop scene?

    why are you reporting it now when the movie came out in July and i believe already available online?

  7. 7 Reenee August 8, 2008 at 12:26 pm

    end of July? are you sure because i saw the movie online in June or beginning of July.

    Cant blame Popseoul for mentioning Magic Feet -yet again. He sets oh-so-high standards for English language ability and bad hair day, among other things.

    Hard for others to follow suit.

    Nam hyun joon dangggg he can dance!
    My #1 idol. I learned how to do poppin because of him.
    Id care if the movie is a flop or not,
    Im a loyal fan and i will forever be by him!

    Oy. This movie is hilariously mockable. Watch it online at vitamovie.com. It’s painful but the closing dance/song was so ridiculously bad that it up this film to cult status. Judge for yourself.

    poppin was ok. gave it a shot. his fault was getting into a Z-list production. chinese youth culture is funny to see tho.

  13. 13 valski August 8, 2008 at 2:39 pm

    he’s a hottie. the outfit is not.

  14. 14 Helloperator August 8, 2008 at 3:09 pm

    Amazing dancer.

    [need moar magic feet news prease]

    I watched the movie just for him;
    it was just like a Chinese version of Step Up.

    I thought that with Poppin’ Hyun Joon in it,
    the dancing would be amazing,
    but the dances were amazingly… bland.

    Poppin’ should just be grateful with where he is now
    as a dancer.
    Can’t deny his awesome skills;

    Watched it on CR and I thought it was rly gd – well the dancing was gd but the storyline was crap :/

    POPSEOUL : Everything about Rain and others
    ***

    shinta, honey. This is a blog about Rain and those others, remember?

    Okay, I’ll always be here from now on, so that you won’t forget that.

    This blog will not have the many hits it unfortunately have if it weren’t for that guy with a four letter name.

    Remember what happened to this blog a while back?
    I’m not saying it won’t happen again. *wink*

    Oh, let’s just flood this post since Rain is mentioned anyway. Let’s make a sentence with the most recent Pop Hoe’s english perfection: BIOLOGICALLY CLOCK.

    Do you think her BIOLOGICALLY CLOCK is on its last seconds?

    @chola

    Ah yeah, oh gosh I keep on forgetting that, thanks for reminding me..Shouldn’t Rain be given an honorary award poopseoul? He sells us to you, but the problem is, he doesn’t know he’s endorsing you to us?? lol

    The Biologically clock is not on its last seconds..Someone whose got excellent english speaking skills doesn’t run out of blogspace..I smell a conspiracy between these 3 sites (i.e. popseoul, seoulbites, allkpop)..

    Well, you see, this Pop Hoe right here is said to be a backstabbing player to the former Pop Hoe which owns seoulbites.

    Allkpop? Oh, the tabloid blog? I think that trashy and its pervert writers, and seoulbites are friends.

    Hmm. What is this biologically clock about? The clock being biological?

    BIOLOGICALLY CLOCK. shesh! Better get my POP Hoe’s dictionary of english perfection and make a sentence using her OH SO PERFECT English words and phrases.

    You want?

  20. 20 shinta August 9, 2008 at 1:08 am

    Perhaps they only came out with that drama to have a grand finale or reincarnation should I say.. Then there comes that johnnydorama ready to rescue the oh-so-poor former hoe..aawww..what a love triangle..

    Uhmm, poopseoul already corrected that..She’s so ashamed of her own english that she corrected it right away while her Rain’s-English-is-nowhere-near-mine article remains an open book with 100 plus comments..

  21. 21 haj August 9, 2008 at 1:15 am

    I think it might be possible for him to gain fame in America if only for his dancing. And his bod. hehe
    seriously? Fan Bing Bing? thats an …odd name.

  22. 22 Seri August 9, 2008 at 2:26 am

    Poppin’ Hyun stop it pleaseT__T I love you!

  23. 23 rob August 9, 2008 at 4:18 am

  24. 24 epik August 9, 2008 at 6:58 am

    watched this on crunchyroll.
    def. not worth the watch.
    hyunjoon’s dancing is good. but the movie itself?

  25. 25 bob August 9, 2008 at 10:38 am

    you can only watch so much of this kid poppin..it gets really old fast. in order to become a big time celebrity..you gotta bring more to the table than just some silly poppin’ moves.

  26. 26 SZA August 9, 2008 at 1:51 pm
