American plugs Korea with music videos
Michael AronsonBy Jun Ji-hye Michael Aronson, an expatriate from the United States, creates music videos to promote Korea.He does most of the work necessary to create music videos himself ― writing, composing, recording, directing and editing.“In total, I think I have made 20 music videos, and they are all about Korea,” said Aronson in an interview. “I made my first music video about Kim Yu-na, the Vancouver Olympics figure skating champion, right after the 2010 games were finished.”Others include a video in which he praised the convenience of the Korean subway system. In the video, he used a Korean traditional song that plays over the intercom when trains approach transfer stations, after creatively remaking it with his rap.He also made videos about gimbap, a Korean roll filled with steamed rice and vegetables, and hanbok, Korean traditional clothes.“Other than ‘actors,’ I usually just have someone hold the camera and that is it. Also, one friend sometimes records guitar and bass parts. I do the all the rest from writing to editing
