A Look Inside the ‘K-Pop Cover Dance’ Trend

The reality singing audition show has definitely made its mark on Korean TV and cable over the years. MNET’s cable program, “Superstar K,” first aired in 2009 and reality shows have been growing both in number and in popularity ever since. Currently competing in the third season of “Superstar K,” the boy band competitor Busker Busker has made an impressive mark with their flamboyant and fearless live performances, while surviving elimination and making it to the top 7 bracket of the competition. Busker Busker’s cover song, “Admirable Girl,” reached the No. 1 spot on Billboard K-Pop Hot 100 last week, knocking off Huh Gak– the winning star of the second season of “Superstar K” — from pursuing his third consecutive No.1 spot.
