Not actually an intro to Hoppipolla

You know how sometimes something just clicks? Yeah, that happened to me with this here band:

[Hoppipolla during their cover of I’m So Tired]

They just… sounded so good? so soothing? so cool? 

And then of course I dove into the next vid, and the next vid and, well. You may have noticed the name of this tumblr :)

Now, beyond their music and their love of music and their incredibly honest sound (...oops. was I swooning in the background again? heh. sorry.), I confess there may have been other factors at play too XD

Non-musical reasons why I’m suddenly a Hoppipolla stan:

1. This guy 

( ↓ the one on the left) who to me looks like Jang Keun-suk circa Mary Stayed Up All Night, so that’s something that has me all fangirly (look i loved JKS back in the day and still have a soft spot for him)

[Hoppipolla frontman I’ll in 2020 on the left and actor&singer Jang Keun-suk in 2011 on the right]

And don’t worry, I like the guy in his own right too (his timbre! his passion!!), even if every time I use his name in a sentence it ends up looks weird. Don’t believe me? Here, have an example: 

I’ll has such a nice voice!

… you see what I mean. Yes, that’s his stage name. I’ll. Here’s the wikipedia article to confirm it.

2. This other guy

who’s a cellist and I absolutely have a weak spot for cello players

[Hoppipolla cellist Hong Jin-ho playing My Heart Will Go On during the band’s cover performance of 가슴이 뛴다 (Heart Beats). No, I don’t know why he did that. Yes, the image is unedited.]

3. They do this thing

[The beginning of their April 2020 cover performance of 실연 (Broken Heart). Yes, you want to hear how incredible it sounds.]

4. Cello guy does this sometimes 

[Hong Jin-ho cello-twirling during their October 2019 cover performance of 실연 (Broken Heart)]

Tell me that doesn’t give you Nodame Cantabile vibes. I dare you.

5. They’re just so cute and dorky :)

[A group photo from January 2020 that’s pretty much typical for their instagrams. L to R: vocalist and guitarist Ha Hyunsang, main guitarist Kim Young-so, cellist Hong Jin-ho, vocalist and pianist I’ll. Source.]
