Are you putting down the music or the article? It is not possible
to ever put down music. It is totally subjective. I would probably
agree with you that Korean music is manufactured garbage. My
morning farts sound better. However, the funny thing is China,
the Philippines, Thailand and probably a bunch of other countries
think those talentless little room salon lolitas are actually good.

Nice Lucy Lee avatar, Cohiba!

It's funny how they love totally sexually objectifying these underage girls, but pretend that these Korean-American pornstars don't exist.

They do bad things with white guys and black guys, oh, and they don't just lay there and say "Oppa, aniyo!".

Down with these stupid kewpie dolls and up with the gangbangin' pornstars!!!

I like the song (or is it just the video I like?). But it's also more of the usual copy, re-hash and pretend we're original and cool crap...

Sorry, but outside of Asia this kind of stuff doesn't fool anyone.

Then again, we have Britney and all her clone spin-offs, so I guess no one is the better for it.

``My husband likes the group so much, and I thought it was kind of gross, you know, a 40-year-old man watching and enjoying teenage girls in short skirts dancing. However, I soon found myself humming the song unconsciously and imitating the dance when watching the television.''

it's okay if your hubby is gross because you like the music? or do you actually think he likes watching the group for the same reason you do? or is it that you can excuse his conduct on that regard?

at least they are bonafide TEENAGERS

not like the fortysomething Korean men in PC rooms smoking cigs while staring at music videos of preadolescents (ages 9-12)

ugh.

I was only showing what the Korea Times said in their article. That's all.

In all honesty, I didn't hear the song until last night (after seeing this thread and going to youtube out of curiousity).

But I have been hearing every K-girl just singing the line "Tell me, Tell me" to themselves for months now.

Weird that so many people are so into such a dull song. But then again, Patrick Swayze did have a hit with "She's like the Wind."
