2NE1’s been pretty busy lately. All the stuff that they’ve uploaded on youtube dominates my subscription page. Anyway, the song and video take it in an entirely different direction. The song is whatever, but at least the look is interesting.

Sandara Park speaking Tagalog
I knew that she spent a lot of time in the Philippines, but it’s just surprising to see. She actually speaks Tagalog better than I do, which isn’t saying much because I really don’t speak any.

For Joseph Teacher
For their video projects, a class of sixth graders broke up into groups and made me good-bye videos, even their homeroom teacher made one. They put all the videos onto one disk and I seriously teared up while watching them. WHY IS IT SO HARD TO SAY GOOD-BYE!?

BoA – Game
It’s her new video. I don’t really care much for the song, but the video is pretty cool.

Lee Soo Yeon is one of my heroes.
So, she's a professional table tennis player born in Korea. She has a pretty long list of accomplishments and she's currently coaching in the United States. I like the way she plays and her matches are fairly exciting, but the best part about her is that she's also a fashion model. Here's a video where she's playing ping pong in a mini-skirt and heels. She's definitely one badass bitch.

Psycho by Gwak Hyun Hwa
To be honest, I was expecting a little more from the video after all the hype with the promo images:
The video isn’t as racy as one would think, it’s not horrible but it isn’t good. It doesn’t look they spent too much money on it. The song’s not too bad though.

Jinho is a pimp.
Public schools in Korea teach from a national curriculum. So students have the same books to work from and teachers have the same materials to teach. Most elementary school teachers will be familiar with Jinho, one of the characters in the fifth and sixth grade textbook. This video, one of my favorites, is from lesson one, “Where are you from?” It’s one of my favorites because this kid is a fucking pimp. It’s the first day of the scout convention and he’s not even done unpacking but he has these girls from all over the world just strolling into his room.

If you didn’t know, fans of Korea’s national soccer team are called the Red Devils. This is a funny little video from Sticky Monster Lab for Nike, but I don’t know much else about it. If you want to find out more, you can poke around highsnobiety, where I originally found the video.
