Chin2

Chin2 (named after the original filename chin2.mpeg) is a humorous video considered by some to be an Internet classic. The video features two shirtless Koreans youths who dance and lip-sync along with a sped-up version of the Korean language song Jung Hwa Ban Jeom ( Chinese Restaurant ) by the Korean artist Louis (artist).

The clip appeared around 2001 in korean internet and the two performers got a nick name, Chun Brothers ( ), because they introduced themselves as Maeng Chun-sik () and Maeng Chun-sam (), which sound funny to korean speakers. They are actually close friends of the same age, (born in 1982), Choi Chang-guk () and Kim Jun-ho (). The title of the clip probably comes from Chin-gu , the korean word for friend.

Several imitators have since made copycat videos (e.g. Unchin2) with the same song, mimicking the original movements. The original pair also made similar videos, chin1.mpeg and chin3.mpeg, which are less well known.

The ending segment La, la la la, la la la, la la la la can be heard looped in the background of the Weebl and Bob cartoon [http://www.weebl.jolt.co.uk/space%20mushrooms.htm Space Mushrooms].
