K-pop brings a lot of joy to fans of the genre, but it can also bring comfort: in the case of one young Indonesian boy belting out a K-Pop song helped him endure one of the most traumatic ordeals a young person can face: getting injected with a big, scary needle.
Recently, a video of the elementary school boy getting a vaccine shot at school has gone viral in Indonesia for the way he used the power of music to cope with the pain, shout-singing the lyrics to a familiar song once the needle pierces his arm.

K-pop fans, especially those enamored with famed girl group BLACKPINK, will immediately recognize the song as “Ddu-Du Ddu-Du”. Below is the original music video, and we dare say the boy did the song justice, despite being under duress.
According to the uploader of the video, the boy’s name is Pio, a fourth grader from Kediri, East Java.
The video has been viewed more than 1.67 million times and retweeted more than 36,000 times in just two days since it’s been uploaded.
Having become famous for enduring the pain of the needle with the help of BLACKPINK, perhaps the girl group will notice Pio and invite him to their Jakarta concert on January 20, 2019. Make it happen, militant K-pop fans.
