I'd say you need a "0 - Able to recognize K-pop and quickly change the channel before it becomes offensive"


Originally I tried to put in a 0, but apparently you are limited to 10 options on polls. Sad

Come on though! How could you resist the infectiousness of K-Pop, like this little diddy:

That was actually less annoying than many K-pop diddys. At least I didn't feel like throwing something when I heard it.

...from the comments:

North Korea is best Korea. This is the peoples song. This "group", a-ha, stole it from poor struggling North Korean peasants, who have sung it for the last 1000 years. It was suppressed by the imperial powers and just recently perfected....in accordion form.

I actually enjoy A LOT the LOVEY DOVEY by T-ARA

absolutely love the girls' shuffling...

It seems the rebellious self-destructive types are trendy now in Korea.

I also wonder how Westerners thinks of Asian blond girls...

Do you like Asian girls with blond hair? What about red hair...

No problem! Why not? Depends on the color, skin tone, and the hairstyle itself, but it can certainly work.

Actually the red tones can look really good, but bleach blonde can be hit or miss.

A couple of bloggers, I believe their names are Simon and Martina, were able to make enough coin from commenting on K-pop to ditch their jobs as teachers.

And these guys are certified Canadian teachers. Confused

When you don't see foot tapping with synchopated music, there's something not natural going on.
