And here’s an interesting new version from Psy himself, featuring that cutie in the original video. Hyuna I guess her name is? Purely out of curiosity, would anyone happen to know if she’s done any, say, just as an example off the top of my head, porn? (And what the URL might be?)
No, she is a Korean pop star, her career would be over in Korea if she did anything porn-ish. Even a nude photo would kill it. Unlike the US, where that just makes you more famous :smack:
Plus that video isn’t new. It came out like 1 day after the original video.
Don’t I know. We get MTV out of Taiwan, and KPop is a regular feature. Actually, I see she’s in a band called “4minute,” and MTV has shown their videos. Didn’t recognize her in the “Oppa Gangnam Style” video.
I don’t know if this is a Korean thing, but there are a lot of videos of Hyuna doing odd things, like visiting a farm, talking before a show at a hotel room, on some weird set that looks like a reality show, having a prank pulled on her while she’s sleeping, and whatnot. Its like this girl’s life is filmed 24/7
That is pretty much most Kpop idols lives. It’s a Korean thing. The production companies film them and have media film them. Some really popular idol groups even have their own real world like TV shows. They also live and train together from a very young age, say around 12 years old, for years before they are “debuted” as artists or idol groups.
Here are some more details on what it takes to be a Kpop idol:
Speaking of Kpop videos, this song, “Nobody”, by girl group Wonder Girls, was very popular a few years ago. I wonder if it paved the way for Gangnam Style to set records. Have any of you heard it?
Hardcore porn is illegal, so all legal porn has stuff blurred out or covered. Korean sex culture is messed up. No one wants to talk about it in a healthy way, yet the country is littered with “love motels” and red light districts.
There was no escaping that song in Thailand a few years ago. In fact, most of the top officials of Thailand’s central bank at that time just happened to be ladies, and at the big annual meeting they did a fair rendition of it themselves.
