Popular Korean actress Clara has released a video for her debut single “Gwiyomi Song 2,” which surprisingly features Stan Lee, former president and chairman of Marvel Comics.
“Gwiyomi Song 2” is an upbeat remake of the “Gwiyomi Song,” a K-Pop single release by Hari in 2013. In the video, Lee performs his version of the “Gwiyomi Player,” a popular dance move featured in the video. Many compare the popularity of the “Gwiyomi Song” in Korea to the viral video “Gangham Style,” which was released in 2012.
Gwiyomi or kiyomi is Korean slang used to refer to a cute person. The video is filmed in aegyo style, a popular method used in K-Pop girl groups. Aegyo refers a cute, affectionate style often expressed through a baby voice and facial expressions and gestures, similar to the Japanese concept of kawaii.
"Gwiyomi Song 2" is produced by Dandi, the same producer of the original "Gwiyomi Song," and it was revealed that were a lot of requests for a remake from fans. The song's choreographer, Choi Jung-ho, previously worked with groups like Nine Muses and Dal Shabet. Fashion King Korea 2 designer Kwak Hyun-joo is also part of the team.
Lee is known for being the co-creator of Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk, The Fantastic Four, Iron Man, The Mighty Thor, The X-Men and many other fictional characters. He was inducted into the comic book industry's Will Eisner Award Hall of Fame in 1994 and the Jack Kirby Hall of Fame in 1995 and received a National Medal of Arts in 2008.
