From the way Sugarfoot plays here, I can say that he can be a guest drummer for K-pop idols and his drumming definitely suits K-pop style. He can guest for them in KCON or any of their concerts.

[@AladeenMusic]

Considering most modern kpop groups especially male groups from SM are inspired by Michael Jackson it makes sense honestly and even kpop in general drew huge inspiration from black American music(with girl groups eventually taking elements from Japanese groups)

✍️❤️Starting from his childhood’s band Jackson 5 until he became the king of pop he was handsome both inside & outside! ✍️His wonderful body posture, legs& smile! The way he stands, his legs, the way he moved,the way he dressed!, his smile!,his everything was magical ,attractive & beautiful! ❤️✍️If you type & search on google ”world’s best smile”=,then you will know that it is Michael Jackson’s smile. In 1993, Michael Jackson said to Oprah that his skin condition is due to a skin disease or a skin disorder called vitiligo,not bleaching. He used makeup to even out the skin tone . Michael Jackson specifically stated he did not want a white person to play him on Tv. He was proud of his race. He said,” I am a black American, I am proud to be a black American, I am proud of my race, I am proud of who I am, but the skin disease or skin disorder made my skin color whiter.” After he started becoming whiter,his nose looked a bit odd and the doctors advised him to reduce his nose width. Nose Jobs are very common in America, jews,specially like to do it.❤️✍️Michael Jockson’s songs like “black or white”, “human nature” can clearly answer the questions concerning his color,skin disorder,race ,& nature. ✍️It seems the racist media always likes to put down a successful black person.📝 ❤️ The king of dance,magical dance❤️!The king of pop,the greatest singer who has angelic,beautiful & attractive voice(vocal),greatest beat~boxer,composer,actor,artist,creative,&greatest humanitarian who loved& helped many children & people over the world that were sick, needy & disabled&gave over 400 million dollars for charity!He had a very loving,humble,caring and helping heart unlike others! 🎂 He is really beautiful both inside & outside!
