All Korean : Korean Culture
I've just recently caught interest in South Korea (call me crazy). So, anyways I just strated liking 2pm (who does not know them right?) . Nichkhun is adorable and Taecyeon is a goofball (albeit a cute one). I watched their Hot-Blooded Men days, it was gruesome, hello! If I was subject to that much torture, I'd quit on the very first day (on the island). Brutalllll! Choose a person not to eat? That's so mean, c'mon food is energy. But luckily, they all chose not to eat together =D . Anyways, Jaebum was wearing pink most of the time (???!!) , sorry I'm just surprised because he's more of a macho type of guy (Which goes to show, real men wear pink haha). Nichkhun is cute!! teehee, he has a man's body but a kid-like face (perfect combination lol). Teehee, I was quite shocked that they cried at the prospect of some members going home (it broke my heart to see them crying =( ) Is it just me, or did they deliberately censor or skipped the Jessica a.k.a Yoga instructor parts?? Cos I really wanted to see that part but I guess a lot of fangirls/hottests would be jealous (c'mon its one simple lesson , its not like she's going to marry one of them boo!) I like 2pm besides I read somewhere that they were one of the high-earners in the South Korean entertainment industry. I'm a bit bummed out that Super Junior is no longer well, in the spotlight. Hangeng's, Ki Bum's gone, so sad cos they were the first Korean Boy-band I liked, its so sad that they just feel apart like that (maybe if they had better management?) I was surprised to find out that Wondergirls aren't the most famous girl band in Korea.I mean, didn't they open for the Jonas Brothers? You'd think they would get more press than that, besides wasn't Nobody the best single, everyone knows that song even my dad haha) But nope, the prize goes to SNSD, hmmm maybe because the members are more interesting?? I mean what influences the popularity,lucrativity of a group?? Hmmm.....anyways I feels that their industry is definitely a hard one to get through to. You'd have to spend years and years training just to debut. And the pressure? Whoa, no dating? Plus they'd have to look good all the freaking time, singing, acting, dancing practices and probably learning new languages? and to top all of that, variety shows. They'd be worn out by then. Wonder how much they make haha, maybe they get 20% and their company gets 80%?? and what if they had to split it 9/10 ways? Whoa no wonder, that most stay in their groups, abit apprehensive about becoming solo(because somedays you're in, somedays you're not). I really respect their dedication to both their craft and self image. Have you seen their skin (Koreans in general) ?? Dude, like baby bums, wahhhh! But most go to plastic surgery to get their desired look around like 90% have had something done. Hey I have nothing against plastic surgery, if you've got the money then do it , who am I to judge right? Next, I sometimes feel some are abit too thin for my liking, girls with curves are so few there. Maybe because I'm just so used to seeing women like Beyonce', Rihanna and etc. Korea is cool but the pressure to look good is too high, the language and high cost of living. Just like anything, the grass looks greener on the other side but maybe you've got a rose growing on your side =). Yeah, its better to stick to your own culture , don't try to be anything you're not. (Why? because sometimes you'll end up looking like a pretentious douche).But on the next post I'd probably do a research on Korean beauty products teehee. C'mon everyone wants baby bum-like skin!!! So, why not right? hehe Tata for now.
