South Korea isn't that progressive, guys... There's a huge conservative christian population in SK, and they're very powerful.

definitely trademark PSY. He's a good entertainer and has been around for years. He's goofy, overweight, not the best looking, and can't dance. Yet he sings catchy songs and does the most retarded dance moves. It's great. I know he was banned for couple of years for getting caught smoking pot.

Pretty much this.

K-pop can be a lot of fun if you just like catchy songs, awesome dance moves, and great choreography. Check out any of the groups choreographed by Rino Nakasone. If you take your music too seriously you probably won't enjoy it.

The term "oppa" reminds me of the Japanese word "oppai" which has a totally different meaning (means breast). That reminds me of the movie Oppai Volleyball, and the beginning as they try and get the mimic squeezing a breast by traveling really fast down a hill (and squeezing the air).

Since I know you're curious, I found it on YouTube:

Htf is that a bannable offense?

People in Korea think smoking pot is as terrible as doing crack, meth, LSD...etc. If you get caught, not only you get imprisoned for about two years, you even get looked down by rapists.

I sent it to a friend on Facebook last night, and he's all about the Gangnam Style now. :p

Oh, and I found an excellent quality version of the Goto Maki video that I posted. If you thought that Korean girl was easy on the eyes, you ought to check that video out. But hands off! :mad: :wub:

"Gangnam is composed of 22 dongs."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gangnam-gu

It's actually pronounced more like how you would say Don't instead change T to G.


If I've learned anything about foreign songs, if they're any bit pop-ish, just leave them untranslated. Foreign pop lyrics usually aren't any better than ours, so it's better if you don't understand them. :p

That's true for the most part but there's still some pretty good ones.
