• ... that "Aeao" was created after Dynamic Duo and DJ Premier contacted each other after performing at the 2014 Midem K-Pop Night Out?

• • ALT1: ... that Dynamic Duo's "Aeao" was included in the NBA 2K soundtrack two times within a decade? Source: Source

Overall: Hi there. I'm not familiar with this group but I'm happy to take a look. For starters, you need to update the blurb per MOS standards (i.e. "Aeao" is a song and needs quotes around it, and NBA 2K is a video game franchise that needs italics around it. I initially had no idea what the article was about because of this. Also, I think "composed" would be a better word to use than "created". After reading through the provided source, it seems like an album was created as a result of the collaboration, which included this song. The main blurb suggests (to me) that the collaboration resulted in this song only. The infobox is also missing a lot of info (release date, song length, producer, etc.). With the genre, the only place I'm seeing "hip-hop" is Newsis opined the song as "another modern classic of hip-hop" with Dynamic Duo's Korean style. So shouldn't this be Korean hip-hop? – zmbro _{(talk) (cont)} 17:29, 11 January 2026 (UTC)

• Comment I'm not the main reviewer, but wanted to note my opinion that both hooks don't seem particularly interesting. DYKs are supposed to be like "if you told this to an average person, would they find this interesting over other typical facts in the world"? The facts presented just seem like bits of data that are typical of any other bit of data. grapesurgeon (talk) 22:01, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
  • Now that you mention it, I somewhat agree. Thousands of songs have originated from unlikely collaborations and are featured in video games and soundtracks all the time. Grapesurgeon I don't review DYKs often, how should we got about this? – zmbro _{(talk) (cont)} 16:21, 12 January 2026 (UTC)
    • Zmbro, as a heads up, some of the things you mention in your review are a bit too detailed for DYK review standards; we don't generally perform a GA-like review of the article's content, we just need to make sure the article is presentable and well-sourced. As for how to deal with the hook issue, @TheNuggeteer: could you come up with one or more alternate hooks? grapesurgeon (talk) 16:46, 12 January 2026 (UTC)

• Ah that's my bad. That's my inexperience with DYK coming through, I apologize. – zmbro _{(talk) (cont)} 17:10, 12 January 2026 (UTC)

@Grapesurgeon and Zmbro: I will try this one:

• ALT2: ... that, nine years after its release, "Aeao" was involved in a multi-platform trend that numerous K-Pop celebrities joined?
• Source: Source, an extra if the former is unreliable

I think this is good enough as it is unusual that many celebrities would join a trend with a song that released nine years prior. 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 (My "blotter") 11:51, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

What type of trend? TikTok? That should probably be specified as "trend" feels generic. – zmbro _{(talk) (cont)} 15:44, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

@Zmbro: Multiple platforms. I have added it in the hook. 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 (My "blotter") 00:07, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

I think that's a lot better! What do you think? Grapesurgeon – zmbro _{(talk) (cont)} 15:31, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

@Zmbro: Is this nomination ready to be approved? If not, what else is needed? Z1720 (talk) 16:58, 31 January 2026 (UTC)

Z1720 If I recall I wanted a second opinion ensuring the ALT2 hook was interesting enough. As it sits I think it should be good. – zmbro _{(talk) (cont)} 16:44, 1 February 2026 (UTC)

• • @Z1720: Bumping since I see this is still sitting though Zmbro has all but given it a tick. Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 22:26, 14 February 2026 (UTC)

Second opinion requested regarding ALT2. Z1720 (talk) 18:03, 16 February 2026 (UTC)

This hook is good enough as is, but it might be more interesting if you changed "multi-platform" to something like internet, online, etc. AllWeKnowOfHeaven (talk) 23:18, 24 February 2026 (UTC)
