Who are Norazo?

Since the list of acts for the MBC Cultural Festival in London was released, the question we've been reading a lot is 'Who are Norazo?'. K-Pop fans in the UK are familiar with 4minute and EXO-K but they have no idea who Norazo are which is why we've decided to do a little research to help you guys learn more about them.

Norazo
Norazo are a Korean pop duo composed of Jobin (조빈) and Lee Hyuk (이혁). They are well known for their comical songs and unique lyrics. Their light-hearted nature is evident just by hearing the title of their songs, for example 'Curry' and Constipation. Very obscure.

One of their biggest hits is 'Superman' was released in 2007. When I first listened to this song without reading the lyrics, it was really catchy but after reading the hilarious lyrics I liked the song even more. An example of the lyrics is:
Be careful of fake imitations
It's supposed to be an "S" in a pentagon
Top and bottom, spandex 100%

Check out the music video for Superman:


As well as their hit song 'Superman', some of their other popular songs are 'Woman Person' 'Curry', 'Constipation'. Have a look at the eccentric music videos below:

Curry


Constipation


Their songs are so popular that even K-Pop idols have even covered Norazo's songs during concerts. Here's a video of Super Junior's Heechul and TRAX's Jay performing Superman:


They also performed a parody of their song 'Superman' on Gag Concert:


However although Norazo are well recognised in Korea for their hilarious songs, Lee Hyuk is actually the vocal coach for CHAOS, a rookie K-Pop group showing that even though their songs are funny and random, they do possess great vocal talents.

I hope that helped you guy get to know Norazo. Now when you hear them singing at the MBC Cultural Festival you can sing along to their awesome songs.
