My Top 10 Kdrama Karaoke Moments


10.Smile, You
In korean drama "Smile,You" Jung-in’s dad, Jung-kil is in a bar with Hyun-soo’s dad, Sang-hoon. Jung-kil give a live performance of 2NE1's "I don't care" in front of Sang-hoon witch imitates him in the bathroom.It is funny to see 2 old man singing and dancing to a song for girls.:)))

9.Can't lose
Lee Eun-Jae (Choi Ji-woo) and Yeon Hyung-Woo (Yoon Sang-hyun) goes to a noraebang separate with their friends and they sing along to the song “Bruise,” which is all about one half of a relationship telling the other half that they don’t know what love is.

8.Dream High: Pil Sook and Jason Go On A Date
Pil Sook’s enormous crush on Jason finally yields some results when he invites her to go to a noraebang with him. Jason’s angry and wants to blow off some steam by singing the way he wants to, instead of following the rigid structure set by Kirin Art School. Pil-Sook is just happy to be spending time with Jason, and it doesn’t hurt that they’re alone together in a small room, singing love songs. Later Jason will play this off, saying that he took Pil-Sook to the noraebang out of boredom, but we all know this was the first moment love started to bloom between Jason and Pil-Sook.I like the part when they sing Heartbeat by 2PM .



7.You’re Beautiful

I like the scene where Mi Nyeo uploads a video to an A.N.Jell fansite of herself in a noraebang, with her face obscured, singing to Tae Kyung a goodbye song.




6.Prosecutor Princess
Mata Hari (Kim So-yeon) after her first day of work at the prosecutor's office, is leaving her colleagues dumbstruck with her energetic dances and sexy clothes at karaoke where she sang and dance to IVY's "Sonota of Temptation" & Wonder Girls's "So Hot".

5.My Lovely Sam Soon:
In My Lovely Sam SoonI are two karaoke scenes.
In first episode we see Sam Soon going to karaoke alone and drunk which was funny..but sad.
After Jin Heon becomes her boyfriend, he has to meet Sam Soon's family to give them permision to date.Her mother breaks out the homemade alcohol and gets Jin Heon good and drunk, then the whole family goes to the karaoke. To be honest, the main reason I love this scene is because we get to see Hyun Bin act drunk, complete with ridiculous facial expressions and a tie around his head.


4.Family's Honor: "I don't know his name, ...but in the arms of a stranger"
I Korean drama more then one karaoke scenes but I like the one where Lee Kang Suk (Park Shi Hoo) is singing alone, and the one where he teaches Ha Dan Ah (Yoon Jung Hee) how  to move and sing.
Park Shi Ho deserve this place because I like the way he moves his hips ;)))

3.Lie To Me: Karaoke Kiss
Ah Jung borrows Ki Joon’s house to throw a fake housewarming party, and near the end of the festivities the group ends up singing karaoke. Ah Jung and Ki Joon are singing together Lovin' Ice cream by EZ Life & As one, and while singing Ki Joon realizes his feelings for Ah Jung. Before she or the audience knows it he’s laying a big kiss on her – in front of all the party guests.


2.The Greatest Love
I remember that when Cha Seung Won's character, Dok Go Jin, started to sing G-Dragon's “Heartbreaker” I was a little scared about his passion and now every time I listen G-Dragon’s version of Heartbreaker I remember this scene from the drama and I burst into laughter.
That was my reaction too :))
You are my heart heart heart heart~
No way~
1.Protect The Boss
Best karaoke moment from a Korean drama in my opinion was in "Protect the Boss" when Jaejoong and Wang Jihye had a singing battle which is funny because he is a singer and she don't have any vocal skills.
Wang Jihye sang Baek Ji-Young’s “Don’t Forget Me”, shouting in a comical way, and Jin Joo’s “I’m Alright” along with the dance moves while wildly shaking a tambourine. After her funny performance Jaejoong showed his own vocal talent singing Shin Sung Woo’s “Suh Shi” and Sung Shi Kyung’s “You Were An Impression”.love strucklove strucklove strucklove struck
