Shitty K-pop groups to be used to torment North Korea.

Example
South Korea to deploy clone army to intimidate North (stolen from Meiosistic).

So writes the Chosun Ilbo:

The Defense Ministry is apparently minded to use songs and music videos by manufactured girl bands such as Girls' Generation, Wonder Girls, After School, Kara and 4minute in so-called psychological warfare against North Korea.

. . .

The JCS official said he is unsure how effective the work of girl bands will be. But the revealing outfits worn by the performers and their provocative dances could have a considerable impact on North Korean soldiers.

Kara has long been my enemy, and I appreciate the absolute shittiness of T-ara's "Bo peep bo peep bo peep bo peep bo peep bo peep bo peep bo"



but there's really no reason to limit the offensive to those animatronic girl groups mentioned, because the fellas are just as dangerous. By way of a friend's Facebook page is 2AM, for some reason singing in English about the World Cup:

I still like the girl in 2AM with the Fresh Prince haircut. She is so cute with all those poses she does.

You know what this means, of course. Another string of words is off limits in the classroom.

Teacher: Yes, Minsu, number 1 is "A." Who knows the answer to number 2?
Class: dere's no number 2!!!!
Teacher: . . .

I've said it before and I'll say it again: T-ara's "Bo Peep" is one of my favourite songs. I won't pretend it wasn't used against me in some psychologically damaging way, but whatever the case, it's now stuck in my head til death.

I even named my motorcycle after the song.

Hear Hear! Keep up the K-pop bashing Brian - I can't stand K-pop, from their casual mixing in of English words to the soulless manufactured nature of their "music" and their personalities to the vomit-inducing "cute" image many groups like to project.

Wait, am I being unpatriotic?

kignusonic said...

I think for propaganda purposes, the K-pop groups should be abandoned for the ballad singers and Korean rock groups instead...

A few months ago that group 2PM made some viral internet news when a "parody" they did of a Brown Eyed Girls song was interpreted as "flamboyantly gay" by a bunch of sites.

I'll be that was Park Jaebum's idea. He hates Koreans and thinks Korea is gay, so he probably wanted everybody around the world to think Japan is gay... er, Korea is gay.

Ah, just kidding. Except for the part about it being Park Jaebum's idea.

I get bombarded with shitty music all day at work and I don't even live in Korea. I don't think we have the right to criticize any other country on their taste in music long as we have Clay Aiken and Miley Cyrus.

Brian said...

Well, this being a Korea-focused blog, and the story coming out of a Korean newspaper, I decided to look at shitty Korean music. No doubt there are annoying pop singers all over the world, and no doubt the relevant blogs in each location cover it.

So that's what that song was saying I swore they were saying "bumpy bumpy bumpy bumpy bumpy bumpy bumpy aaaah!"

Brian said...

The intense, crazed stare of the one in the middle with the pink hat is what makes that whole picture.
