EPTThat being said I just gave this presentation in class today. I kinda can't believe I said this crap or didn't get kicked out of the class. The assignment was to just pick a topic and talk about what's trendy, for 5 minutes. I quickly paraphrased the Korean parts for you guys. There weren't any rules, so I picked some ridiculous generalizations and said that they were the reasons why Korean's preferred certain haircuts. lol. I'm sure this thing is ridden with mistakes (which is why I'm in class), so I'm preemptively stealing the Korean typo-police's rights to being chodes about it. This is what I made:

This is just the contents of what I was going to talk about. I tried to go through it quick so it wouldn't give away the funny parts right off the bat.
Men's style, "club guy style"
Girls style, "bangs", "crazy club chick style"
Long hair, "Short hair", "Long hair"
Dyed hair

예전에는 긴 남자 머리 스타일이 유행이었어요 왜냐하면 유명한 가수들 때문이지요.
H.O.T는 10년 전에 아주 유명했어요
그래서 여자, 남자 모두 H.O.T 머리를 따라했지요.
It basically says that long hair styles used to be really popular because all of the famous singers had it. H.O.T. was the most famous band 10 years ago and every single guy and girl wanted to look like them.

“돈 많이 있어”
남자들의 짧은 머리는 “나는 돈이 많아요”를 말해요.
그리고 부모님이 부자여서 이런 머리 스타일을 권했어요.
“저는 똑똑해”
공부를 잘하는 남자들이 짧은 머리 좋아해요
긴 머리는 공부하는데 방해가 될 수 있기 때문이에요
“저는 성숙한 남자예요”
이런 스타일의 남자들은 애들처럼 머리 기르지 않아요
"Reasons for short hair"
1) "I have a lot of money". Guys with short hair think "I have a lot of money" and their parents suggest this style for their kids.
2) "I'm a genius". In order to study well, I need short hair. Long hair gets in my face.
3) "I'm a mature man". This style for guys shows that they aren't kids.

지금은 긴 머리가 “반항적”이예요.
여자들에겐 긴 머리가 이상하지 않았지만, 긴 머리 남자들은 보기 힘들었어요.
지금은 긴 머리 남자들을 거리에서 종종 볼 수 있어요
Now, long hair is rebellious. Every girl has long hair but it's not hard to see guys with long hair, too. Now guys with long hair can often be seen from a distance. (Picture of my old band)

한국은 보통 고등학생들은 모두 교복을 입어요

그래서 고등학교를 졸업하면 모든 학생들이 머리 스타일에 신경을 많이 써요.
"Reasons for long hair styles"
1) "I hate business style"
2) "Music is better than people"
3) "FREEDOM!!!"
In Korea, high school students usually wear uniforms and there are regulations for their hair styles. So, high school students care a lot about their hairstyles after they graduate.

"Reasons for dyed hair"
"I want to be different than other people."
"I want to be a special person."
People want to look different so they have a variety of different hairstyles. They want to get people's attention. Crazy hair colors is like a spotlight for people who love attention. They think "People won't see me unless I'm special".

Bangs (Literally "front-hair style" in Korean, LOL) are really trendy. Bangs are a trend and cute. Girls frequently have this style, but lately dudes are super into it. Sunny from Girl's Generation is really cute. (no shame)

클남 스타일
클남은 클럽 하고 남자, 함께

Club-guy style. (slang, not positive) "Kulnam" basically means club + guy = club-guy. Club guys frequently have messy/dirty looks, but it's a trendy style.

In Korean: "Thanks!"
I mean, it was pretty awkward when I was doing this. I'm one of the only white people in the class, so speaking Korean is already weird/hard enough. The teacher was taken off guard and confused at the slang and pretend quotes. She asked me, "where are all your sources of this information?" and I just told her it was my best guess. I don't know how well that went over, but the Koreans in the class skating by for easy credit were laughing about as hard as they could with their hands over their mouths. I'm not really sure if anybody felt like they should laugh or not during this thing cause the teacher is such a try-hard at being authoritative. Single Korean woman probably approaching age 40 ...still not married!?!? You better wear armor to deflect this kind of angst... Oh well, she's still cool. She's kind of like an "auntie" waitress that punches you in the arm at Korean BBQ for forgetting to use respectful ~요 form or something, then gives you extra side dishes.
I made sure to put myself in the negative club-guy pictures to self-deprecate a bit since it all could've been taken the wrong way. The funny part is that in a really stereotypical way, this whole PowerPoint is true. Just go to Hongdae or Gangnam for like, 30 minutes. 5 minutes even.
Whatever, we'll see if I get a good grade or not.
