Straight out of Geumchon-dong, Paju city. These three men are wasting their talents at the local English Village.
"Drinkin' Cass-uh, drinkin Hite-uh, feelin' all right-uh, drinkin' all night-uh." That shit is hot.
And that's gonna bring in the tourists. Not really sure if the folks in Paju actually want more white people---the English Village brings enough thank you very much---but the video just installed the city in the foreign consciousness in a way that lame English-language websites couldn't. The video started off rocky, but picked up after the first verse. My message to other foreigners is please, please, please don't make a video for your town. Imitation videos area always lame, and bad things seem to happen when foreigners talk about Korea on tape (here and here). I don't to wake up tomorrow to "Poontang in Bundang" (it rhymes when some foreigners say it *grumble* trust me).

I've already had a newbie English teacher tell me that Bundang is the actual etymology of Poontang, you know, from after the Korean war, that
's where red light district was . . .
Dumb.
