wow, i kinda let this thread run away from me, even tho it has been quiet for a good six months now.
i like the older central suburbs, like jongno, myeong-dong, chungmuro, dongdaemun etc. south of the river feels sterile in comparison.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
yea it is an epidemic. i suppose younger couples are increasingly practicing this. what's wrong with "yeobo"? even "jagi"?!
ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
I've done a little bit of reading on it. I would summarise it like this:
Modern Koreans typically believe that national culture and pride are more or less a matter of bloodlines, and by bloodlines they mean pure bloodlines. You may be familiar with the national creation myth, which basically...
Personally ... the metrosexual look is not so much a problem for me. And I dig a guy who can wear a pink shirt properly. It's just a real turn-off for me when a guy is obsessed with his image. Sure, he needs to be presentable, but he needs to remember that being presentable is not only about...
Hahaha I kinda sorta agree. On the whole, Korean guys make decent eye candy; but personally I'm not a fan of the overly metrosexual type. If anyone's, isn't it the girl's job to be high-maintenance?

Interesting. So if you were genuinely attracted to a girl, you would be pleased about her calling you oppa. But other than that you don't like the oppa thing.
This is exactly TF I'm talking about. Korean Australian guys as friends are fine. But as soon as they get half-interested, they want...
Maybe Lee Soo Man didn't care about music per se ... but he was genuinely interested in what teenagers at the time wanted to hear. It's not like he tried to write the music, even if he did have a big say in the artistic direction of early bands such as H.O.T, S.E.S, Shinhwa etc. But we can't...
Don't get me wrong! I'm listening to K-pop right now! But a most of the artists I listen to made their debuts ten or more years ago. The more recent stuff often sounds the same to me, especially the stuff coming out of SM. I know SM Entertainment basically built the contemporary South Korean pop...
