To ensure this thread won't be closed, you must adhere to several a number of simple rules;
Please use spoilers when quoting a post with pictures and/or videos.
When posting large quantities of media (pictures or videos), please begin spoilering after the first piece. Grouping related videos in the same spoilers & labeling is recommended.
No reposting of old material unless justified
Posting any material with little or no relevent discussion accompanying it
No passion-induced flaming of each other because 'x said y sucked' etc.
Keep the expression hate of music individuals/groups to a minimal level
No 'pagetopping' in any form whatsoever, as it constitutes spam equal to posts similar to 'first'.
No vulgar fan fics or wet dream stories. It is creepy, weird, and it dehumanizes the people who you are here to celebrate/discuss.
Normal posting standards that you find throughout the rest of the site still apply and will be enforced more strictly from here forward (2012/03/11)
Due to the poor nature of this thread in the past, temporary two-day bans will occur more than often if people slip up.

i reakon if they show something unique and more asianlike (gee) it would have a better chance than some conformist song (the boys). Afterall people expect celebs to fall under their sterotypes.
Yea, we probably would all like it if Americans would be more accepting of kpop. But as the Wonder Girls have shown, the American market doesn't enjoy that genre of music. If Korean groups want to enter the market, they would have to westernize their songs to at least get attention to Korean music in general. Maybe then people will start to find out about kpop and see it in new light.

*edit* I actually think she sings better than Hyorin, her voice seems smoother and more controlled
Just finished DH2 ep1! The lead actress (forgot her name...ow) is alot better than I thought! Jiyeon went over-cute on her role but it's fine, coz she's hot as hell, and she's no actress. But I think the lead nailed it. I think she looks ALOT better in person (well, in camera) than she does in still pictures.

I don't even know who Wendy Williams is..
When I was unemployed and wasn't going to school sleeping extremely weird hours I would always find myself waking up to a turned on TV playing Wendy Williams. God I love that woman.

I would bet you that atleast half the people in America (ok, likely way more) could not point to Korea on an unlabeled map of the Earth. I think Korea itself would have to make more of an impact in the world before kpop can start expanding on the scale that some are thinking of.
That is just what I think though, but I can't really think of any examples that immediately prove me wrong.

They should just have LG and Samsung make it so when you turn one of their TV's on or computer Monitors a cute K-POP girl says ANYONGHASEYO! Then winks.

Have you ever considered going into marketing? I think you'd improve the lives of everyone everywhere. I'd love to start my day off opening my Samsung fridge and then BAM! Kpop girl of the week! BAM! Nose Bleed!
