kpop rantings



[this post is like three weeks overdue but i meant to say this earlier]

everyone's very happy for the wondergirls for their appearance on sytycd and i suppose i should be too, but i honestly don't appreciate this whole westernization of kpop, it makes me really sad... i feel like they're losing their original flair just by translating their songs/changing their style to appeal to an american market. it's a completely different style and you have to use a different appeal, and it's just not them anymore. wondergirls' "nobody" makes no sense in english. like honestly if this is what the lyrics meant in korean, it would not have been this big of a hit.

and then snsd was rumoured to have planned an american visit, which scares the heck out of me because snsd is like...the lifeblood girl group of south korea, and it'd be really sad to see them undergo the same transformation that wg did :[

i'm really cold... i think i'll go put on a jacket. and school starts in two days.
