Since their début Weibo post on the 6th of November, Vietnamese pop-group HKT Band* have attracted a staggering number of followers, over 60,000 at the time of writing and still growing. Their popularity has little to do with their music however.
自從11月6日在微博首度亮相后,越南流行組合HKT就吸引了數(shù)以萬計的粉絲,截至發(fā)稿時,HKT的微博粉絲已經(jīng)超過了六萬。但他們的成名卻與音樂沒有什么太大關(guān)系。

"Hi everyone, we're HKT Band from Vietnam! We like China! I love you! Please follow our official Weibo account, reads the first post of the unintentionally viral Weibo profile.
在第一條微博中,HKT這樣寫道:“在大家好,我們是來自越南的HKT組合!我們喜歡中國這個地方!我愛你們!歡迎關(guān)注我們的官方宣傳微博”

In the page description, the boyband claims to be the most popular idol group among Vietnamese youth. However, the Southeast Asian musicians' rise to Chinese stardom is more akin to that of Sister Lotus or William Hung.
在介紹中,這個男孩團(tuán)體自稱HKT是越南青少年最喜歡的偶像團(tuán)體。然而,這個東南亞團(tuán)體在中國娛樂圈的走紅似乎走的是芙蓉姐姐和“美國偶像”淘汰者孔慶祥的路線。

Most commenters are branding their music quasi-revolting while others dismiss it as mere Internet trolling. "Hard effort to torture their fans everyday", one comment reads.
幾乎大部分評論都在吐槽他們的雷人造型,還有一些人直接把他們當(dāng)做網(wǎng)絡(luò)炒作而無視。有評論就說:“(HKT)天天費(fèi)盡心機(jī)折磨他們的粉絲?!?/div>


Many also have a go at their outrageously avant-garde hairstyles and David Bowie circa Ziggy Stardust meets awful Euro-pop dress sense. One user writes, "Wash + Cut + Blow Trio more like"
很多人也吐槽他們的前衛(wèi)發(fā)型簡直就是大衛(wèi)·鮑威在專輯Ziggy Stardust塑造的外星人搖滾巨星穿上了糟糕的歐洲流行樂服飾。有人評論說他們更像是“洗剪吹三人組”。

Whoever is controlling the profile, they seem to be taking no notice of the furore. The account has posted a number of music videos which then quickly became viral hits in spite of, or really because of, how awful they sound.
不管誰在操縱這個樂團(tuán),HKT似乎對網(wǎng)絡(luò)上的騷動不以為意。HKT在微博上上傳了諸多爆紅的MTV,之所以爆紅,很大程度來源于他們聲音的糟糕程度。

In their latest entry, the group says: "Hi everyone, here's a surprise for you. We'd like to introduce our brother group HKT-M. Don't underestimate his talents just because he's cute. Now enjoy our new hit Xuan V?n Niên. Hope you like it! Thanks for the support China!"
在最新一條微博中,HKT寫道:“大家好,有個驚喜要告訴給大家。今天隆重向大家介紹我們@HKT組合 的弟弟團(tuán)#HKT-M組合#。不要看弟弟團(tuán)樣子可愛就忽視了他們的實(shí)力。可以先欣賞他們的祝賀歌曲《Xuan V?n Niên》軒凡年。希望大家也喜歡我們的弟弟團(tuán),感謝中國朋友的支持!”
