    omg! It is the return of the Happy Wanderers (aka Schemge Brothers).

    I lived in South Korea for a time and their traditional music is horrendous and I am not at all surprised lots of Orientals prefer Western classical music. Korean music is discordant and, it was explained to me, people are supposed to hear beautiful notes amongst the cacophony of sound.

    And here I was so hopeful the video would be Bieber… that'd be too funny.
