Korean singing group: "Girl's Generation"

[uls]

di ako army

blink ako

[uls]

kagalingan is missing the big picture

kpop is manufactured

unlike a group of friends who decide to start a band

kpop groups are created by companies

they look for visually pleasing boys and girls, train them for years and form boy groups / girl groups

they're not organic pure talent

they're highly processed packaged products

what's behind kpop?

Since the 1990s, government-led cultural policies have transitioned from focusing on economic strategy to national branding and soft power and have had a positive impact on the domestic ecosystem of cultural industry and contributed to promoting South Korea abroad.

that's the big picture

there was a goal -- national branding and soft power



looks like South Korea achieved its goal

hanggang america sikat ang BTS and Blackpink

the movie Parasite

the Squid Game series

other countries should learn from SK

[uls]

Japan has anime... South Korea has those things

if you are a straight male tapos type mo BTS eh you like mediocre talent. Kasi kung talent at talent usapan lamang na lamang mga americans, british, swedish. Basta usapang kantahan enterttainment.

Ang tamang reason lang magugustuhan BTS eh dahil nagwapohan nacutean. Pero other than that dont tell me talented.

Ganito na lang pag sa mga lugar ng yagit pag nagvideoke sila yung mga lalake sunog baga tambay eh kumakanta yan ng beatles, elvis presley bee gees kahit mga teenager. Pero hanapan nyo ako straight male na kakanta ng BTS. Again, remember yung nagviral sa mcdonals delivery app rider na nilait ng bayot ang bts. I think that rider will enjoy alternative bands like rivermaya, the now kakampwits eraserhead. (But definetly not bebe mishwa ben & ben )

in other words,
just because you do not like it,
nobody should like it.
kagalingan right again!
heh heh.

ung rivermaya, eheads

is that the best PH can produce?

ano nga ba ang cultural export ng Pinas?

nakikilala na ang Jollibee

Pero hinde ako agree sa sinasabi ni Kags na itsura daw nakikita kaya gusto yun bts. Hinde naman mga pogi eh.

Ewan ko kung nasanay lang ako sa mga tsinoto, tsinita saka mga mapuputi. But kahit isa sa mga members nila wala pogi for me eh.

Yun sa mga babae naman na super gandang-ganda dito. Parwng ordinary din lang naman tingin ko. Typical Oriental beauty.

i don't think ung appeal ung BTS is looks in isolation

it's the whole packaging, the finished product

it's the music and the choreo and everything else

kung ano talaga ang appeal nila the company behind BTS did the right things

they managed to create a boy band that became so famous and achieved everything a boy band can possibly achieve that there's nowhere else to go

kaya the group took a break

[uls]

isipin niyo mga kano they never find asian men attractive

pero nagustuhan nila ang BTS

i'm sure it's not looks

it's a highly successful entertainment product

a bit of ot...2 things that has always baffled me about the korean entertainment scene:

1. their obsession w/ the double eye lid look and,

2. the high rate of suicide in their ranks.

kung sa bagay, i think those 2 are reflections of south korean society as a whole so hindi siya exclusive sa entertainment industry .
