This blog is about looking at both the positive and negative side of k-pop by linking k-pop to some common worldly issues. The aim of this

blog is to provide a somewhat neutral approach to Korean music in a worldly manner. Whether you decided to support K-pop with colourful

flying banners or throw banana peels at the artists after reading this blog is entirely up to you ~

Even Lady GaGa will weep



Sometimes, enough is enough. Ever since Lady GaGa first showed off her fashion style, it seems that everyone is getting more and more tolerant to such extreme means of fashion. K-pop, might be really pushing it too far. Now I get that people sometimes have this artistic edge to fashion but while it may be acceptable to see it on a catwalk, sometimes layering 23 pieces of rainbow coloured clothing over yourself is not the most attractive thing to do.


‘Oops ~ looks like someone’s unicorn vomited over them’ That was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw Super Junior’s teaser photos for their new album. Oh who am I kidding, that’s still the sentence I think of NOW after years ! I don’t even know where to start analysing the ... ‘things’ they have on their bodies because everything is just so messed up. On a side note, abs are great and all but maybe flaunting them out like that is a little too ... well, you know. But to be fair I’m looking at that semi see through pink thing another member is wearing and ... not wearing a shirt is not such a bad thing after all. If you’re gonna flaunt it, flaunt what mother nature gave you and not what your stylist threw at your face. Now, I wonder since when do people make dresses out of giant rubber keyboards or stick unicorns on their dress. If we ask the girl band 2NE1 maybe they can give us some answers since they seem to know all about it. Yes, that unicorn is part of her dress. Maybe it’s the same unicorn who vomited on Super Junior ! Guys, time to change the stylists. Fire them and kick them out of Korea, who know, maybe they will meet Lady GaGa and they will end up as best buds.

Its hard being a celebrity and I get it. Maybe the concept of their new albums was ‘How to look like a fashion terrorist and scare people away from K-pop’; If that’s the case then I’ll give them a pat on the back cause they did a wonderful job. So if the album concept was decided then you gotta follow it, fair enough. Please tell me then why is it that even if the members are not doing group activities do they look like ... that !?! I mean really TOP, blue hair ? And oh wow a fuchsia pink jacket with errr bad ass patters and ... umm ... Ok fine, its not that bad since you look hot and you probably will pull it off. Plus I’m on your side here, you probably didn’t even know what you had on due to those ridiculous glasses. Seohyun, you are such a princess looking person but what happened ? So during the photoshoot did someone yell ‘She looks too normal. Lets super glue a doll on her shoulder and add on yellow eyeshadow. Which glove is better I wonder ... lets just make her wear both’ ? Now I think about it, blue and purple hair with dolls on your shoulders ... Ahh the mystery is solved; K-pop fashion isn’t based on GaGa its based on Katy Perry !
