They wrote and composed the song. If you guys remember the beatboxing group iM, this group is composed of 2 of the 3 members.

Well hey, one outcome might be that korean starcraft highlight videos will have Happy Face rather than Linkin Park as the bg music.

I didn't believe you at first but...
Holy shit it really does sound like a song that would be done by LP.

not at all
Lp avoids this kind of "cute" themes

Lp has some kind of pseudo wildness lol

also their songs are made of three accords

I agree that it sounds kind of similar

but there's no screaming!

I actually think it's not that bad, not really my thing but at least better than GTR's girl groups!

Anyone who doesn't see the similarities is in serious denial

It would be like Linkin Park if they actually played the music...I find it incredibly lame and consider it a "half" live performance when all they do is noraebang on stage, basically.

Music isn't horrible, but it doesn't compare to LP, I think, which I think is actually quite a good band. This is more pop than anything else that happened to use rock style music in the background to complement the vocals...it could have easily been something more techno-y and we wouldn't be talking about this, I think.

I voted bad, though. lol.

I see similarities. I also see a boy band with cute synchronized dance moves and a lead singer wearing a keffiyeh.

While there are similarities in the music styles, their presentation is completely different

First issue I have is that they dont look like they make their own music, someone else made this song and they were just given the lyrics to learn. They are a boyband, not a rockband. They present themselves as a boyband with their choreographed dance moves and backup dancers as well as what they are wearing.

As for the music, they do have some similarities with linkin park. But they are obviously not as heavy. Linkin park has sections where there are heavy guitar riffs and screaming which contrasts the softer parts of their songs which these guys are emulating. This band doesnt have any heavy parts at all which makes the styles of music quite different. I also think the singer on the right needs to bring the pitch of his voice down a notch, cos thats really not a nice sound that comes out of his mouth.

I've heard worse, but it didn't impress me at all. Background dancers are gay, it lacks proper guitar riffs, and most importantly, their voices are waaayyy not manly enough.

Thoughts:

The rapper needs to quit shooting himself in the head.

Where the fuck was the bridge? That was an awkward transition to the chorus.

The rapper's singing in the chorus was cringe-worthy.

Is the rapper even attractive in Korea?

The dancing at 2:22 or so is hilarious in a bad way.

The comparison to Linkin Park is legitimate, there were a few moments where the song could have transitioned right into part of a Linkin Park song.

Actually, a part towards the end sounded a lot like the chorus of Since U Been Gone...

I dunno if the lyrics are any good because I don't know any Korean.

As someone who used to like Linkin Park, I'd say its probably a decent attempt at being the korean version of such a band.

I vote bad but I bet korean pre-teens would eat it up.

I dont feel them. Koreans arent really fan of Rock unlike here in the Philippines. If I compare them with the bands here they would look like boy bands.

Well considering how terrible Minutes to Midnight was I try to avoid anything that sounds remotely like LP but... this does have an LP like esque to it, just WORSE. What I've Done was the only new LP song that actually sounded like LP... everything else was full of fail.

Pilkang and BigTone are really good, its just they're not LP. Be my 1004 is such a better song anyways, and this song I don't think really displays their talent well. Here's an example
