I received an email from Elena Chang, an old friend from Rutgers, letting me know about her music video “A Different Kind of Wedding Dress” which is a queer take on Taeyang’s “Wedding Dress.” Her version has made it to the semi-finals of Koream Magazine’s Krazy K-Pop contest and it’s up to the public to vote her through to the next round.
A note from Elena…
As progressive as the community has become, there’s still a lot of work to be done and my goal is to reach audiences to challenge them to question the traditional notion of marriage
and recognize that possibility for universal love through this m.v.Voting closes this Wednesday and my team is really imploring for our queer community to help get this queer take on a k-pop video re-make to represent at the ceremony.
We are the only lgbt-themed submission in the finals, so it is extremely important for us to show folks that queer love stories CAN EXIST in modern day k-pop. Unfortunately it’s ultimately in the voting process in determining which videos make it to the top.
To vote for the music video go here: http://iamkoream.com/krazykpop/
Vote for #3 “A Different Kind of ‘Wedding Dress’” by TheElChang
Please spread the word! Voting ends tomorrow, November 17 at 6PM PST.
