Just saw this on youtube and thought it might go down well here.

I always wonder how people can get jobs looking like the guys in this video.

Inspiration not to drink/drink less: to not end up looking like them. (So fat.) Good musicians, but they're acting like freaks. The video was posted a year ago. I wonder if with the tightening market they've been forced out of Korea.

Ajoshis tend to be disgusting (I'm understating that because of the TOS) but they do dress smarter than western guys. Who mostly look like hippies or tramps.

I'm surprised the netizens didn't raise a stink.

If this video became more viral, there would be a stink.

Good grief. That was some terrible stuff. And the lame fuzzy subtitles did not improve it a whit.

There's a video of the fat beardy one playing in Insadong and some ajusshis trying to stop him playing. Seems to me the guy is desperate for attention.

It reminds me of that idiot that made a white foreigner costume with a massive *beep* and paper-mache head. It was more embarrassing than anything else.

Here's another ajoshi song from a couple of years back. Very Happy

I think it is safe to say, without fear of sounding like a killjoy, that they are a couple of complete bell-ends.

That was terrible. Two songs and they've both been rotten, and most probably made by bell ends.

Many people speak of this concept of dressing smartly...does this imply that one who wears a 3 piece suit replete with necktie (which serves absolutely no function for humans) is somehow more adept/intelligent than someone without one? How can we define smartly dressed? I never understood the concept of fashion myself...as I feel better time could be spend in contemplation of more meaningful concepts..

With that being said, why must all waygooks(외국인) have to adopt this air of buffoonery. Even though I don't watch TV, the infrequent times that I catch a waygook on television...they make themselves out to be clowns/fools. Tis' disappointing.

Suit and tie for a guy, followed by dress shirt and slacks. T shirt, jeans, shorts etc... are not considered smart. It doesn't really have much to do with fashion.

On TV that is because the Korean director wants them to behave in that way. As for youtube, those guys have no excuse.

So some strands of fabric, polyester or cotton are arrayed in such a pattern that can establish their smartness? Clothing made of denim (i.e. jeans) or less material (i.e. shorts, t-shirts) are considered less smart? Who makes these rules..and more importantly to which end? Humans.......*shakes head*
