I seem to have found a K-Pop girl group I like. I mean, "all their songs on YouTube I will listen all the way through" kind of like. 0_o
(You don't have to watch this.)
( I poke at why this terrible thing has happened to me )
Also, at one point apparently the 80s came back hardcore in Korea...mostly, I'm sure, because they didn't have them the first time around. But the clothes are just so fun to look at...
...yes, I'm all about the hobo-chic, okay?
There is no excuse for this post, except that when I have something I like that I know I should be ashamed of, I pretty much confess straight away. I'm not very good with my own secrets.
Also, there are two non-Koreans in this group: Amber, the rapper, is a Chinese-American for whom Korean is a *third* language, and Victoria, second from the right with the mahogany hair, is a Chinese girl.
I've been saying that I think Korea is the real upcoming star as far as entertainment goes, and it occurred to me that this is another sign: how many people they're able to draw from abroad. Not only do their pop groups have a following in other Asian countries, but they even have tours and events in the US that are growing.
I've been scoffing at the idea of an Asian actor moving to the US and maintaining their same stardom (because American entertainment is prejudiced, sorry--it's true) because in manga and dramas, it seems to be an unrealistic idea. But then I was looking up Rain, to see if it WAS the same guy who was cute but not very deep as an actor in the K-drama Full House, and found out that Ninja Assassin got him an MTV award, and he was on the Colbert show.
Whenever I scoff, I get duly punished. XD
Rain and Victoria and DANCE DRAMA
Now, off to watch We Got Married - Khuntoria couple
