| Super Junior |
The first picture shows one of Thai famous cover dance bands "Pandora", which is imitating the album jacket of one of the most famous Korean boy bands "Super Junior". In Pandora's picture, the members stand juxtaposing to one another while posing the actions as if they are the boy band members themselves. The shade of the picture is black and white, the photo-shooting area, and the caption are similar to the original one as well. This picture is interesting in the way that it shows how Korean music and stars have become world's domination, including in Thai society. The imitation of singers' character and dance moves become a new self-expression in Thai society, which reveals the popularity of Korean domination that Thai society embraces.Cover dance does not only concern with the imitation of dance moves or the appreciation of Korean music, but it also addresses how Thai society agrees to accept their cultures, ranging from language, food, fashion, or entertainment. In Thai society nowadays, the appreciation over Korean popular culture are conspicuous in which some Thai people even refuse to listen to Thai songs due to the thought that Korean music is better. The cover dance and its supporter then reveal how much Thai teenagers want to be like the Koreans. In this way, it might unveil the perception of Thai society that Korean influences are superior that we want to be similar to them.
