Momoland video set on Saipan
A famous South Korean all-girl K-pop group officially launched their newest music video that was shot in the CNMI.
Momoland just launched the music video for the Japanese version of “Bboom Bboom” last Wednesday, May 16.
Less than a week since the video was released, the video has already garnered over two million views worldwide.
According to Marianas Visitors Authority managing director Chris Concepcion, the music video has helped expose the CNMI to the world.
“We flew them in and they shot their video…in different places around the island and the exposure we got from that is something that we at MVA really could never afford because the exposure was just tremendous…we’re happy to have that type of celebrity power come over to the CNMI and expose our island to an international audience,” he said.
The video is trending on YouTube and has been creating buzz for the CNMI in social media outlets.
Concepcion could not be happier with the turnout of the video.
“…The MVA team put the itinerary together with our office in Korea…we’re happy with the turnout and we’re happy that the Momoland group really enjoyed their stay here. The hospitality that the CNMI showed was something they really appreciated,” he said.
Momoland arrived on Saipan in late April and left in early May. The group shot their footage for a week.
According to Concepcion, it was Momoland’s first trip to Saipan.
“There is another K-pop group that is coming to the CNMI next month so we’re looking forward to it. We’re excited about the additional exposure that we are going to get because of it…it’s something the MVA put a lot of effort into…it’s not easy to pull off this kind of things and to bring high power celebrities to the CNMI so we’re happy that they’re able to come here and enjoy the islands,” he said.
