NEW VIDEO DROP: KHip-Hop Legend Drunken Tiger Gets A Thumbs Up for New MV "YET" From Kpop Mega Stars BTS
Honoring Those That Have Paved The Way.
On April 13, Korean hip-hop icon, Tiger JK, dropped the visuals for the pre-release track, "Yet," for Drunken Tiger's tenth and final album.
The music video uploaded on YouTube, was near 20,000 views, when the idols from kpop boy group, BTS, retweeted Tiger JK's tweet on Twitter, of a link to the video. The BTS retweet included two thumbs up emojis and a dizzy face emoji. The retweet propelled the "Yet" mv to nearly 100,000 views less than 30 minutes later.
BTS is fairly new to the music scene, relative to Tiger JK's longevity. The seven members have a huge and heavy influence on young music fans around the world. In May 2017, they won the Top Social Artist Award at the Billboard Music Awards, becoming the first Korean group to do so.
The group's official BTS Twitter account has more than 14 million followers alone. BTS debuted in 2013 and has toured the U.S. and performed live on U.S. television. Tiger JK, as one of the pioneers of Korean Hip-Hop, debuted with Drunken Tiger back in 1999 and currently is a member of hip-hop trio MFBTY (with his wife Yoon Mi-Rae, and rapper Bizzy) and runs the label Feel Ghood Music. Per media reports, he says the upcoming album, will be his last under the name of Drunken Tiger.
According to Soompi Magazine, the track "Yet" (produced by Loptimist), is about the hardships and struggles Tiger JK has gone through over the years. The video does not have subtitles, but shows Tiger JK spitting fire in Korean, through images of family life, performances and apocalyptic scenes from the rooftop of a building.
