noorie is K-popped. And Korea is still gay.

Just shared some K-pop with my bb krabbypatty, so posting the tracks/MVs here as well. Before I do that though, I feel like I should show you the *real* reasons I'm into K-pop. And they've got nothing to do with music, as these examples will illustrate:

LOL, I'm glad you're honest about the reasons why you're into K-Pop. :P

Oh, what was this scandal?

[noorie]

well, it's not the music, let me tell you, though i've learned to enjoy some of that as well. :)

the scandal... well, this guy looks korean, but he's not, in the sense that he was born and raised in the US and didn't speak korean before becoming a trainee for that company about 4.5 years ago. he had a rough time adjusting. and he really didn't like korea at first. so he made some comments to his myspace friends, dissing korea(ns). and about 2 months ago someone found these comments and they spread like wildfire through the internets. it got real ugly, real fast. he pretty much escaped korea after a couple of days. and he's still away, prolly not gonna come back. *sniffles*

Wow, he should have been smarter, lol. Oh, I am not surprised that Koreans got this angry at him...

[noorie]

yeah, pretty stupid not to lock/delete his account when he got famous. but idk, those comments were made so loong ago. and he apologized, clearly doesn't think/feel the same anymore. they totally overreacted - there were petitions calling him to commit suicide (signed by thousands)! that's a little out of proportion... especially when all he said was that korea is gay. i mean, clearly teh evidence is before you. lol.
