The only Korean group that I have any expectations of "making it" in the US is 2NE1, because they have music that fits better with American pop, hip hop, and electronica. I would say 4 people is probably the cutoff for American mainstream taking any group seriously at all, but even that ma...

Anything called Hakuna Matata that isn't from The Lion King is terrible in comparison.



And now I'm on youtube listening to Disney songs. This happens at least once a month. Fuck yeah Mulan.

Well Konno looks like death now apparently.

Well, if you've seen the diet that they released, you know why they're so fucking skinny. Some broccoli is not a meal.

I love the song and video. I love ridiculous disco dances and find the video hilarious.

I'd have to say this mv is one of my least favorites from 2ne1 so far. :/ I don't really know why, but it just seems lamer than all their other videos except maybe lollipop. The song however is awesome and I love it.

[quote name='showraniy' timestamp='1306982226' post='100496'] I'm surprised you'd consider those outfits bad, but maybe I'm just desensitized. I remember something about Korean TV stations (all three of them or whatever) cracking down on female idols' outfits not too long ago. Maybe I haven't paid e...

Hmm, that's going to be interesting to see what sort of backlash those outfits get from the Korean scene if anything. Those outfits are certainly a lot more revealing than I'm used to seeing them in since Korea has such strict standards.

I haven't actually watched something on tv for years now. At most I just use it as background noise, and hardly ever even that. Once you have two monitors for your computer you really don't need a tv lol.

My question about the plastic surgery shit is, why the fuck does anyone care? It's their business if they got it, no one should give a shit either way.

They make them private usually because they get a bunch of copy-write warnings so they make it private to try to avoid getting their account banned, which usually doesn't work regardless.

Song is good. Video is awful because they look ridiculous. I just can't stand concepts of weird ugly looking shit.

Someone got lazy with photoshop/makeup.

The whole thing is whether the contracts ARE actually fair. They're (the way I see it) disputing what Korea considers to be fair contracts, which DSP continues to juke by claiming everything was done "as the contract determined" or w/e. It's a giant circle jerk between the government agenc...
