So the appealing thing about Kpop (Korean pop, for those sad, sad people that have not yet discovered it), is that it is not American. And by that, I mean that a lot of the music videos are centered around the dance, or the story line (always cute), and NOT SEX! Whoohoo! But the thing is, some of my favorite Korean artists have become pretty Americanized. Take Rain, for example, and his weird (not saying he did it badly - he's a fantastic dancer) pole dance. Nope. Bad Rain. And he always has to take of his shirt to show off his muscles during a performance. Really? That's just lame. And another one of my favorite groups (or part of it, or whatever) - GD & TOP. Not gonna lie, I love their music, but am extremely disappointed when I see their music videos featuring foreign sexy ladies and the Playboy symbol thing. But then I watched "Don't Go Home" and my sister and I decided it's okay. Because turns out, G-Dragon is smart enough that they're just being IRONIC! Woohoo! I can still love them. You should watch some of their videos. And they should pay me for advertising.
But really, you have no idea how great it feels to know that there are intelligent pop artists out there. Sigh. I can deal with the Playboy-looking thing. Because they're just trying to be funny. Ok. I'm good. Just wanted to get that out of my system.

Just. Watch them. Do it. You know you want to.\
I'm feeling rather Kpoppy right now. Sorry. I'll get over it in a couple of hours.
