Back in March, a self-proclaiming 'Ilbe' netizen, Bro, released a song called 'That kind of guy'. The music itself is normal. It sounds like a normal ballad song. But it's the lyrics that made the song famous. It talks about an 'ideal guy' who can do anything to make a woman happy. It also talks about why the heck that kind of guy would meet a girl like you.
Bro - That kind of guy
The singer, Bro, wasn't a known singer. He didn't expect the song to get famous. Instead he was worried that he would be criticized hard for making a song like this. But it topped the charts like Melon and Monkey3. He did get criticized for the song. A group called 'Veloce', consisting of 3 female singers, wrote a song in response to this song called 'That kind of girl'. It's the exact same story except that it's a girl singing to a guy about why a girl like that would meet him.
I personally think that the song is fun. I don't really care about what it means. I don't think that people should take the lyrics seriously. I think it's just a fun song to enjoy.

I think that both songs, "That Kind of Guy" and "That Kind of Girl" are both very funny.
