  • Throwback Thursday: Papaya – Listen to my Word

    Yeah.  I went pretty far back.  This is the first K-pop song that I downloaded.  The video’s got tetris blocks and girls singing. I wasn’t even fully aware of what K-pop was back then.   I just thought the song was trippy and cool.  To Eli and Rhema, y’all probably were in kindergarten when this…

  • 9 Girls, 9 Dates, In Less Than 5 Minutes

     Let’s keep this post rather short and sweet. At Four Minutes and Forty-Seven Seconds… Guys, try not to blush, and if you do so, blush in a manly manner and do some pushups afterwards to toughen back up.  Ladies, take notes because it’s time for Charm School. Say hello to Girls Generation when they were…

  • [Now Listening] Seaweed Soup (미역국 ) – PHANTOM (팬텀)

  • Ever since this song came out, South Korea’s been on a tear.

      What do Baby VOX, S.E.S., Dara, Shinhwa, Black Beat and other k-pop stars have in common?  They’ve made theme songs for the South Korean soccer team. Yes, I only watched it at first for Baby VOX and S.E.S..  And Shinhwa.  Still, can you believe that this song came out 10 years ago? Right now…

  • Fin.K.L – Pride : So how do you say “tsundere” in Korean?

    In Japanese otaku fandom, the term “tsundere” means a girl that’s sorta mean-spirited or tough, but she’s all soft and gooey on the inside.  Basically, you just gotta get through her hard outer shell and get into the creamy center.  I really want some Cadbury chocolate eggs….OH. Anyway, Fin.k.l was one of the huge pop…
