I Live In Korea

My name is Ben Gwynne. I USED to teach English in Incheon, South Korea. Here's some photos, stories, videos, etc.

No text needed for this post, the video speaks for itself...



I do hope to make some more of these types of videos which will show some insight into culture in Korea, and I even have some ideas of videos showing some things they have over here which are far more efficient than what we have in the U.S... in time....

Definitely music week here....

This is a pretty typical example of most of the songs I hear in Korea. "K-Pop," as it's dubbed, is similar to most of the nonsense you hear Brittney Spears, N'Sync, etc. come out with. They are catchy, the artists are all young, attractive and can dance. The videos or over the top, well choreographed and directly or indirectly very sexual in nature. Personally, I think the pop songs here are bigger than they are in the US because they dominate the airwaves everywhere. Whether you're in a store, supermarket, bars, etc., when a popular song is out it will be played all over and everyone will know it, from the 20 year old's dancing in a bar or my 8 year old students, they all know.

Anyway, this song is a few months old but it's probably my favorite. Check it out, there's English and Korean subtitles.

And yes, that IS a bomb she attached to the guy she used to like...





p.s. the comments that pop on the youtube video aren't mine, they are the person who uploaded and translated the song

Going to try to get another video up like this of some Korean dancers I encountered at some hiphop club. What I witnessed there was RIDICULOUS, hopefully I can edit it this week. Either way, check this video out, it's a good one....
