This is a Changpop I personally really love: 'Wanna taste some gold farming?'
A song made in an upbeat punk rock style, borrowing the plot and lyrics from Eongdeongguk's timeless masterpiece, 'Baby Dinosaur Dooly'.
The content is about Shin Chang-seop, who was oppressed and humiliated by the 'rice monkeys' (gold farmers) who became Dooly (taking advantage of kindness), returning as the God of Restoration to eradicate the 'rice vermin'.
During the final chorus, when he is crushing the rice monkeys and yelling 'The performance is definitely solid!', you can feel a satisfying catharsis.
It's a small channel with only about 1,800 subscribers and not many views, but the real insanity/dedication is that...
'He personally creates the choreography and does the motion capture.'
Usually, dancing Shin Chang-seop avatars in Changpop are made by overlaying the avatar onto existing video footage with an original source.
But the Shin Chang-seop in this channel's MVs performs original choreography that you've never seen before yet syncs suspiciously well with the song, moving and acting perfectly to the lyrics and video context. This is because the channel operator personally choreographed, danced, and motion-captured the performance himself...
To think that someone with under 2k subs is writing their own choreography, dancing it, and motion-capping it just to make Changpopโthat's seriously next-level craftsmanship.
I'll wrap up by introducing another one of his masterpieces, 'Luxury Restaurant'.

This song uses the once-popular Heroes of the Storm 'Daehyun, look at this, Da-bi-ri' meme to deliver a sharp retort to the constantly complaining Maple users.
Again, the self-made choreography shines with excellent synchronization to the music. Finding various Blizzard memes hidden in the lyrics and MV is also a fun bonus.
Especially the instrumental section, which is an arrangement of the Cursed Hollow BGM from HotSโthe quality is really high.
"Man's out here doing MOCAP for Maple memes. The dedication is terrifying, but one purist misses the janky aesthetic."
