The rugby inspired video from K-Pop band Enhypen that has millions of views already
K-Pop band Enhypen have adopted a rugby theme for their latest song ‘Tamed-Dashed’ and have received almost 15 million views on YouTube at the time of writing.
The band, who have over 60 million followers on YouTube, are clad in old school preppy rugby shirts in the video, playing various ‘rugbyish’ matches.
The sequence on the beach from 1:30 in the video does raise some questions about their understanding of the laws of the game as there is a string of flagrant forward passes, including one American football style pass. On top of that, one band member launches the ball onto the floor for a try, failing to apply any downwards pressure whatsoever, before celebrating with his teammates. TMOs must relish easy decisions like that.
The video is less rugby, more a bizarre lovechild of rugby and American football, where the requirement is to break into dancing every two minutes. Take a look:
These are the lyrics to the song (translated by Google), and it is quite a challenge to decipher any sort of reference to rugby in them:
Can I get used to it
That flash of desire that fascinated me
Dreams are beautiful and ugly
just change your look
Oh tangled
Oh
The dilemma of choice in the dimension
to step on
i’m scared
I hate “to be or not”
I hate “to be or not”
Like hot summer (na, na, na)
Like hot summer (na, na, na)
First run (na, na, na)
(na, na, na)
Even if I’m caught in the flames, even if I’m abandoned
I don’t know the answer right now
hot heart take me
thirsty thirst I can’t stop me like
I can’t stop me like
Summer (na, na, na)
Summer (na, na, na)
First run (na, na, na)
(na, na, na)
The burning sun leads me
my compass please don’t leave me now
please don’t leave me now
Summer (na, na, na)
Summer (na, na, na)
Just run (na, na, na)
(na, na, na)
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh even if it’s not the right answer
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh even if it’s not the right answer
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh I have to stop
Oh
I’m addicted to my cloudy vision dreams
Oh I miss my childhood
Oh
I can’t see the familiar me
Like hot summer (na, na, na)
Like hot summer (na, na, na)
First run (na, na, na)
(na, na, na)
Even if I run like this, even if I stop
The result is not known now
hot heart take me
thirsty thirst I can’t stop me like
I can’t stop me like
Summer (na, na, na)
Summer (na, na, na)
First run (na, na, na)
(na, na, na)
The burning sun leads me
my compass please don’t leave me now
please don’t leave me now
Summer (na, na, na)
Summer (na, na, na)
Just run (na, na, na)
(na, na, na)
boring worries
between horns and horns
So keep it going, keep it going on right now
So keep it going, keep it going on right now
Just keep it running, keep it running up right now
Just keep it running, keep it running up right now
You are trapped in the same troubles as me
You are stopped because you don’t know what to do
In that case, hold my hand and run
hot heart take me
thirsty thirst I can’t stop me like
I can’t stop me like
Summer (na, na, na)
Summer (na, na, na)
First run (na, na, na)
(na, na, na)
The burning sun leads me
my compass please don’t leave me now
please don’t leave me now
Summer (na, na, na)
Summer (na, na, na)
Just run (na, na, na)
(na, na, na)
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh even if it’s not the right answer
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh even if it’s not the right answer
