Hawkeyes Capture Massive Korean Teen Girl Demographic In Music Video

Wait, what? That's... that's AWESOME!
Okay. This came through on our FanShots, and, um... wow. It's a video of some South Korean pop dance band. We don't really know who they are or how popular they are, but the fact that the video has 700,000 views in two days is probably a decent indication that we're dealing with a popular group.
As "SFW" conventions go, it's totally safe and innocuous, but, y'know, it's nine young Korean girls dancing around in typical pop star outfits. IT wouldn't be irate, but a wandering supervisor might not be impressed. Really, you watch this type of thing at work at your own peril. So if you're willing to watch, this is "Oh!" by Girls' Generation (we don't know either); more importantly, go ahead and skip to 0:28, which is where the awesome starts.
Good lord. That makes Dance Dance Revolution look like Rock Band: Simon and Garfunkel. Now I have a headache. Anyway, yes, that's a Korean girl band who are taking turns adoring a Hawkeye helmet. It's in like 10 different shots. And no, we have no clue why. Absolutely no idea. What we do have, on the other hand, is plenty more pertinent screencaps of the International Tigerhawk Adventure after the jump.
So how about that? Our quarterback may love America, but South Korea's young popstar ladies love our Hawkeyes. It's like a love triangle, except not at all.
Speaking of which, we're aware that this video satisfies many, many sexual proclivities. We're not dumb. Still, do us all a favor and please refrain from telling us how it applies to your preferences in the comments. No, seriously. We don't want to know at all. Don't make this weird and uncomfortable. You know what'll help? Just... just pretend this is your marriage and keep your desires to yourself.
(Terrorist fist jab to King Video Ninja HFMR for the screencaps, and very terrorist fist jabs to fanposter Shooter McGavin. You're doing the Lord's work, sons.)

That's because
only the AMERICANZI can unite both Red and Blue America behind the awesomeness that is Iowa Hawkeye Football! (Also, quasi-child pornish Korean pop songs)

That is the strangest thing I think I have ever seen
involving a Hawkeye helmet. Only thing that could have made it better more strange is if Clayborne in full Predator beard would have taken all of them out in one of the “football” scenes.

My brain almost exploded the first time I watched it
Not only are they passing the helmet around and snuggling with it like a teddy bear….if you look closely it’s also sitting in the background in just about every shot. Even the two guys wearing the generic Alabama jerseys are carrying it around.

as incandescently awesome as i think this is for you guys, i’m sure you’ll understand if i make a concerted effort to distance my team’s association with any possible involvement in this extravaganza.

North Korea
is just on a tighter budget. For example, if they were to have a depiction of a football helmet it would likely not have a decal at all. In fact, they probably wouldn’t even paint the thing, just leave it white. They would probably chose one of their national colors to stripe it with, say, blue. It would no doubt look super generic but at also bring great honor to the Glorious Leader…Commies.

A possible explanation?
I remember that Hines Ward did a goodwill tour in Korea that attempted to bring to light the recognition of minorities and multi-racials in Korea. I think it was a bit of sensation for many Koreans to see a high-profile black Korean multiracial athlete.
It may have led to people equating Steelers with “coolness”, and every self-serving pop music video has to equate it self with coolness. Maybe the art director picked up a black and gold helmet for the shoot, not recognizing the difference between a Steelers helmet and a Hawkeye helmet?
Or maybe the director is an Iowa grad?

Dude read the posts responses on there...they are almost as awesome as the ones above.

I'm amazed that we completely forgot to make a Hawkeye from M*A*S*H* joke

I got home tonight after watching this,
and Chris Hansen was waiting in my kitchen offering me a seat. There was no sweet tea.

That would be the type of accident
that resulted in man first discovering fire.
Less memorable than Sam Okey's Hawkeye career.

I guess it could work both ways.
Pedobear can either represent disdain for pedophiles, or represent the intentions of a pedophile.
Oh my god… what have I done.

This is awesome
I cannot think of a fanbase that deserves this sort of incredible pop culture fortune more, or a blog that will make better use of it.
I AM a little curious about whomever found this, but we all have our quirks.
My only fear is...
That somehow Herky’s testicles provide Korean men with some sort of sexual potency and he is subsequently kidnapped, has his genitalia removed, and wakes up in a bath of ice with a phone next to him.
Then again, he is mostly foam and polymer – my fears may be more Freudian than anything.
this song is totally making it into my pre-game warm-up rotation
For the sheer WTF factor

Alright
I’m Korean and I thought it was pretty interesting when I saw the Hawkeye helmet in that MV. Their concept for this song is apparently a football chearleader, but I have no idea why they chose that helmet. BTW, oppa is a word that women use to call an older man (up to 6 or 7 years maybe?) in Korea
SNSD is the BEST!
I know that people’s intentions aren’t wrong or anything but Girls’ Generation (aka SNSD) is the most popular singing group in South Korea. Better yet they are renown singers in Asia. Actually, they are like THE most popular singers in South Korea and pretty much all around Asia.
My point is that SNSD always has a new “trend” or theme with each new album. This album’s theme is “Cheerleading / Cheering on the people everywhere around”. The use of the Hawkeyes helmet is merely to add to the REALISTIC ASPECT of the theme.
Oh and the people who feel that this a “nosebleed”, just know that these are the people that asians everyone are worshiping — much like how Americans worship Lady Gaga, Lil Wayne, Taylor Swift, Beyonce….etc…..
SNSD HWAITING!!! _
Its not a nose-bleed.

This has the potential
to become the BHGP thread with the greatest longevity. Now if only Hawkeye State could get some Ed Hightower in that photo…

I've updated the info on the Wikipedia site on the music Video.
check it out here.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oh!_%28song%29
I think its appropriate.
Whoops lets try that again.
Hmmm keeps going to the OH exclamation… oh well.
Theory
my profound theory is that the girls – in a state of confusion – mistook “Hawkeyes” for “Hot Guys” and wanted the Iowa Hot Guys to be their team
This article is Horse Raddish
The new theme for Girls Generation new single “Oh!” is “cheerleading.” The director of the Music Video needed a football helmet in the video to fit in with this theme. He liked the black & gold color scheme along with the bird logo and chose that to put in the video. In fact the director and the girls themselves don’t even know who or what the Iowa Hawkeyes are.
That's some amazing, detailed knowledge (not the creepy kind...)
If you’re a fan of amazing, detailed knowledge (again, not the creepy kind), I recommend this blog:

You’ll fit right in.
Cheers!
