apparently, this is the hottest song in korea right now, i was corrected by my students. not that other song i posted before.
i think this song and mv is pretty representative of the somewhat narcissistic/vain (or alternatively, confident?) society here. the song is all about how the narrator think she’s so hot and turns heads. niiice. i have to say it’s a pretty addictive song.
and i hear this song below in every freakin store i go into.
these ones are popular too. and hilarious. also about being pretty. they love their bubblegum pop.
kind of like the states, korea’s really into the whole ’80s thing right now. hipster clothing is also big here. for instance, i went to several different optometrists over the course of the week trying to find a pair of eyeglasses, but the majority of the stuff they carry right now are the ray ban-type frames or really thick artsy frames that i couldn’t really wear on a normal basis. yeeeeea.
i think phase 2 of my culture shock has finally ended (this would be the frustration/irritation stage where things generally irked me). it’s now evolving into the adaptation phase, phases #3.
today, a taste of pop culture in korea.
such a popular song right now. these girls are really popular. and women in generally are very beautiful and put together here – always dressed up from head to toe with make-up.
