Mixtape: A Brand New Scene | Kpop for Discerning Adults

[piecesofalice]

As you've probably noticed, I've recently become quite enamoured with Korean pop culture. A lot of this piggy backs on my ~life decision~ to learn another language, but there is a fair amount of LOLZ involved as well. Natch

Your complete lack of T depresses me in ways I cannot explain.

I DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING OF HER UNTIL THIS MINUTE

NOW I'M YOUTUBING LIKE YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE

IN CAPS

She's amazing!

[aj]

Woman is SO BOSS, I CANNOT EVEN.

Seriously, why she isn't HUGE in the US, I do not know.

[myniamh]

OK, I'm game to try new stuff. :D

[myniamh]

I ... YOU MADE ME LIKE POP MUSIC. ¬¬

[piecesofalice]

My job, as they say, is done.

DO YOU WANT MORE, PRETTY LADY *leers*

[myniamh]

IT'S SO DAMN HAPPY! ... I might. *eye dart*

[plumtastic]

I will get to this later, but I'm watching ep 10 of Iris and just discovered Korean hip-hop/rap. OMG.

Also, North Korea totally has all the hotties, right? I will be making myself a Seon Hwa icon asap.

[piecesofalice]

NORTH KOREA IS WHERE IT'S AT.

...what an odd thing to type.

They're both so attractive, you can't help but root for the NK. Has Hyun Joon done is favourite thing of sitting in corners all the time yet? And you best be shippin' Sun Hwa/Everyone.

*explodes*

[plumtastic]

Trust me, my brain is already formulating 'ship stuff. But there's been little NK is for Lovers as of yet, but never fear, Hyun Joon is sitting in corners mourning the loss of his full(er) head of hair.

And no turtlenecks yet, thank GOD.

[piecesofalice]

As long as Sun Hwa is a part of your ship, I don't care. I ship her with my TV boyfriend who's in Athena, so there you go. EVERYTHING WORKS.

[piecesofalice]

Great or as great as this one?

[cutselvage]

DOWNLOADED LIKE A BOSS :D :D :D

I mean, I have to be ready for the KPopsplosion that will occur on my meeting you, amirite?

[piecesofalice]

I feel I need to give you fair warning about something.

There's a boy band called SHINee. Not "shin-eeeeeee" like the body part, but "shiny" like their luscious locks and clothing (I still call them "shin-eee"). I watched a show they did called Hello Baby, where essentially idol groups are given a kid to raise (I've linked it because I know you won't be able to stop yourself, like me, and watch the whole damn thing), and they kept singing this song:

LINK AS IT WON'T EMBED

This song makes me cry with laughter. I just have to hear the first bars and I'm off. The wings! The ring ding dongs! It was my ringtone for a while, just to make me laugh everytime I heard my phone ring. Epic.

This was followed by My Power Animal Song:

LINK BECAUSE IT WON'T EMBED (eighteen MILLION VIEWS)

It makes me want to punch them in the face and run around the block. I can't explain it to you without sounding vaguely insane, but I hate them and I love them. And that, is your warning about Pieces and Shinee.

Great story, me.

LOVEAHOLIC LOVEATRONIC

[cutselvage]

Okay I clicked the first link with the intention of live-commenting my thoughts, but it was like a goddamn car crash.

WHAT IS THIS I CAN'T EVEN. I JUST. WHAT IS AIR.

SMOULDERING LOOKS AT THE CAMERA. ~*~EARNEST~*~ APPRECIATION OF BUTTERFLIES AND FEATHERS. ONE OF THEM HAS AN EPIC MULLET.

OKAY NEXT.

... OKAY "LUCIFER" IS FUCKING AWESOME. IN A WAY THAT MAKES ME SORT OF WANT TO THROW THINGS. LOVEAHOLIC LOVEATRONIC = BEST LYRIC EVER.

I WAS GOING TO TURN CAPS OFF BUT THEY SEEM SORT OF APPROPRIATE. :D

[piecesofalice]

DON'T YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'VE JUST TRIPPED ON ACID AND STUMBLED INTO POLITIX (THE SHOP) BUT IF POLITIX ATE LINCRAFT AND VOMITED UP SOME BOYBAND?!

I seriously cannot stop laughing. I cannot wait for you to be here, you're going to try to escape through a window I can feel it. <3
