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.
Really interesting documentary from Vice on Kpop and Korean culture in general. The host asked Infinite some dirty questions. Also, shoutout by Korean BW fan around 15:00
Huge eye opener (for me and 1/5 Seoul women)
never realized how prevalent it was, and how it is all to look like westerners. Scary stuff
Quite impressed with SM the performance(skrillex not so much), the editing for that bit was quite good by kpop standards. What was the track at the end? Edit:nvm found.
Yeah that's pretty good. I didn't recognize most of the boy group songs.
I remember 2 years ago I heard and recognized his kpop mashup being played in our big department store's (The Bay) background music. Just thought that its remarkable now that I think about it.

Yeah I recall suddenly hearing Lipstick on ESPN one time.

do you happen to have stream link to the SBS Entertainment awards? I don't even know if it's broadcasted but probably and I wanna see Running Man sweep some awards^^.
I found that VICE documentary to be hard to watch, not because of the plastic surgery but because of the condescension shown by the host. Everything about it, from her questions to her expressions screamed "ISNT THIS WEIRD LOOK HOW WEIRD THIS IS"
Westerners have some of the most outdated ideas about body image and plastic surgery.
Of course it screamed "isn't this weird" because it is weird, especially if you never ever heard about it before. You don't think 1 in 5 is somewhat extreme? And that in their mind getting permanent surgery is comparable to choosing what clothes to wear?
I don't care either way if they want it go ahead, I'm sure some do it for the right reason but even the doctor said they get a lot of girls who come to see them after their boyfriends dump them. That doesn't happen in the western world. Of course there might be a few but not this wide spread. Just curious, how many do you know that got a plastic surgery gift for their graduation?
The chat box for the Crayon pop hangout thing had like 150 people(other hangouts only had like 100~) and over half were guests. Just want to ask if any Kmders were there too as guests. I'm 닉소유리 there, the one who can't watch and keeps qqing about it.
EDIT: Other Crayon Pop fans here should definitely make an account at crayon-pop.com and hangout sometimes with us in the chatroom, especially if you know hangul and some basic phrases. You'd get to meet people like the chrome ceo(which I think is online there right now).
EDIT2: Oh, and if you could, please pm me your username there so that ill be familiar with you when you visit.
