Pumping out two to three music videos a week on average, it’s no wonder music video director duo ZanyBros is touted a ‘music video factory.’ ZanyBros’ Hong Won Ki and Kim Jun Hong have come a long way from filming indie bands in Hongdae for free when they were first starting out at the age of 27. Fourteen years later, the ZanyBros directors are veterans in the game, but their body of work is as current as they come.
One of the most sought-after music video directors in K-Pop today, ZanyBros has literally worked with everyone who matters in K-Pop – Super Junior, Girls’ Generation (SNSD), TVXQ, EXO, SHINee, FT Island, B.A.P, 4minute, B2ST, Infinite…the list goes on. And on and on. We’re talking close to 700 music videos on and on. That′s quite impressive for a duo whose name is short for ′idiot brothers′ and prides itself in its self-effacing demeanor.
CEO and director and one-half of the ZanyBros duo Kim Jun Hong sat down for an exclusive interview with Mwave, where we picked his brain about his craft, K-Pop and, of course, idols. The following is our Q&A.
Mwave: Who was the most memorable artist you’ve worked with?
KJH: TVXQ. If you look at them in their recent music videos, although they’ve been idols for 10 years now, [you can see] they haven’t changed a bit, they’re still full of ‘fighting.’ They work so hard, it makes us want to work harder.
