Boy dance cover of SISTAR ‘Push Push’ goes viral
A "Push Push" dance cover by an 18-year-old Hmong boy has gone viral on YouTube registering more than 211,000 views (as of the writing of this article) which is more than 40% of the total views of the original SISTAR "Push Push" video.
In the video, "Txawjvam Hawj," who says on his Facebook page that his American name is Calvin Her, danced to SISTAR's "Push Push" without his shirt on. What is interesting, however, is that he is able to perform the hand and body gestures to "Push Push" while lip-synching to the song's Korean lyrics almost perfectly. He is obviously a big fan of K-Pop and listed Wonder Girls, Big Bang and Beast as his favorites.
Some netizens expressed admiration for his talent but others have lambasted him with sexist remarks. Like it or not, "Txawjvam Hawj" has successfully gained some publicity for himself and his YouTube channel, which incidentally contains a lot more videos showcasing his antics.
Do you think he was able to give justice to SISTAR's "Push Push"? Judge for yourself.
