Incheon Korean Music Wave

I'm actually really mad that I missed this concert.  It's especially frustrating because the concert was 10 minutes from where I lived, but I was too busy moving all my stuff and leaving Korea to attend.  Anyway, allkpop.com collected all the videos from the concert, so I'm watching them all right now.

This Korean dude makes millions K-pop shit on E-bay.

I can seriously do this.  This article in the Chosun Ilbo is about Bae Woo Ri, who makes tons of money selling Girls' Generation and 2PM posters.  He says he makes between anywhere from 25 to 50 million won in a month.  If I don't find a hagwon job I like, it won't matter since I can be making some serious bank doing what he is.

SNSD’s campaign for the Nintendo DSi.

Saw this video on allkpop.com.  The DSi just dropped this week in Korea and I have to admit, that the launch colors are pretty sick.  I’m even really considering picking up one for myself.  The fact that Maplestory DS doesn’t hurt either.

SNSD has a new show.

This is part one of the first episode.   I haven’t finished watching the whole episode, but it looks like they’re going to be just followed around cameras all day.  I’m sure it’ll be full of overwhelming adorableness.

Here’s a funny SNSD commercial.

Tae Yeon drops a fucking shooting star on a monster.  That shit is badass.  I don’t know why I haven’t seen this ad on TV yet.  I would probably play this game if I could, if Korean PC games weren’t so racist.

Ireland wins the Mr. World Competition.

Ireland wins the Mr. World Competition.

Not like anyone was really interested, but the Mr. World Competition that I mentioned a few weeks ago took place over the weekend.  The contestant from Ireland won the competition.  Girls' Generation also performed the songs Gee and Oh!, which would have been the only reason I would have went to the damn thing.

SNSD’s new video.

It just came out.  I think it’s sort of boring.  There aren’t a lot of outfits and the choreography is uninteresting.  Oh well, Taeyeon still looks good.

Mr. World Competition

So the Mr. World Competition just started.  This is sort of big news since it's right here in Incheon.  Apparently it's the biggest male beauty pageant in the world.  I'm not particularly interested in this, since it's a male beauty pageant, but I'm really hoping the dude from Latvia wins.

Just look at his mullet.

Anyway, the finale is supposed to be on March 27th.  Girls' Generation and 2PM are performing, so I'm a little interested in going if it's not too expensive.  It should be down in Songdo, since I think that's the only place they can really have it, but I'll look into it.

Dear Kim Taeyeon,

Happy 21st birthday.  I found out that it was your birthday from your website.  I check it almost everyday.  Please don't think I'm creepy, I'm just your biggest fan.  I listen to your music everyday at work.  It gives me the strength I need to carry on.  Now that you're 21, please let me buy you a drink when you visit America.

I know that you'll probably never read this, but just in case you do, I want you to know that I love you.

This is my favorite picture of you:

 

Your Chocolate Love,

P.S.- Please don't think I'm creepy.

Girls’ Generation cards

For those of you that can’t tell, these are trading cards of Girls’ Generation, one of the most popular K-pop groups at the moment. I bought these at some point during the Incheon Marathon last night, but I don’t exactly remember where or when.  Anyway, I woke up this morning with these just all over my bed and one of them stuck to my face.
