I'm pretty quick to rail on Korea about stuff, but this is barely on the radar. Ripping people off and a general lack of creativity in music videos is just as big a problem in the West as it is here.
I'd rather see a hundred of these videos than one more of the formulaic K-Ballad Videos:
a) love triangle (or square... even seen hexagons)
b) fight scene (between the hero and a gang, or between rival lovers)
c) someone dying at the end (in car crash or because of previous fight)
d) crying... always someone crying |

The Korean music videos always amaze me. There is so much violence in them.
I usually don't like doing a them and the west comparison BUT...I am fairly sure tht music videos with violence of the calibre shown on Korean TV would not be allowed on Western TV. ..well not NZ anyway, and especially at not the time these ones are shown. |

I thought this was going to be about the level/quality of teaching. I have a co-teacher who spends 45 minutes every Monday morning going around the room asking, "How was your weekend?" Yes, 45 minutes.  |

Usually bleeding in the rain on their knees as well...
I find them pretty funny. Similarly, I've lost count of times when I've been eating at my favourite ajumma shik dang and there's been a Korean soap/drama. There are always ajummas in there glued to the screen, if looks could kill I'd be dead a hundred times over for laughing at 'serious' moments in Korean dramas. It's the hideous fake crying that's the most hilarious and the ridiculous pauses and gasping not to mention every soap cliche done to death time and time again.  |

unimagintive songs produce unimaginative videos unlike http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLSIZxF3uJg&feature=related this guy Bobby Kim.
I just heard of him the other week and picked up a few of his CDs. His song called "Angel" is also pretty good. |

I used to do that when I first got here.
My poor students. |
