Alright, so I found this on-line show called Eat Your Kimchi on youtube.com and it featured a couple artists that I had either earlier not heard of or ignored. I enjoyed a couple, but the ones that are sticking in my mind long enough that I want to write about them are the slightly creepy ones. Creepy? What kind of creepy? The 'holly crap, that lady is psycho!' and 'that...can't be legal' kind of way. There may be more videos out there that really deserved to be put with these two, but I haven't found them yet, so you're going to have to be patient.
The first one that I'm going to share here is the less creepy one, you know, work my way up to the 'that could give me nightmares one.' It's by a girl group called T-Ara and the song is called 'Yayaya.' You may recognize the guy in the video. He played the really hot vet in My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho. His name is No Min Woo and even though he really is not focused on, by any means, he does have a couple scenes where his facial expression is totally cute, like when one of the girls is brushing his hair. I don't know why, I just think it's really funny. The feeding part was hot.
Oh, if you're wondering what the song is about, um, the words don't really make any sense but they kind of give you the impression that they're asking a guy to pay attention to the girl singing because she has a crush on him. It's really meant to be more of a fun song than one that means anything. Also, I hope that you're not one of those people who gets easily offended by things that are not politically correct, because T-Ara is dressed up as Native Americans and pat their mouths going, "Ah ah ah." I personally think it's kinda cute so if you don't like it because 'it's not right' or some such reason, please feel free to keep that opinion to yourself.
The first posting is HD so if it's too slow and you don't care if it's a little pixelated, watch the second posting. It's the same video. Without further ado, "Yayaya."
The reason I call this kinda creepy is that they girls pretty much kidnapped the poor guy. They found a crash victim and instead of treating wounds, they tie him to a pole and carry him to their village, where they tie him to another pole and then proceed to flirt with their captive audience. That can't be legal, right?
The second, and far creepier music video is called, "Going Crazy" and it's by a female artist called Kan Mi Yeon.
The very first part of the video is a girl calmly sitting in a chair, sewing something white and frilly and in the background, just waking up, is a guy who is tied to her bed. My first thought was, "Woah... That's some blatant S&M in this video!" I mean there was no leather, whips or chains in sight, but a guy tied to the bed was more than I'm used to seeing from the Korean artists I watch.
It got weirder as the video progressed and I felt more and more uncomfortable with the situation until the scene where he's still tied up and they're sitting at the table together. That's when I put it firmly together in my mind that this was not a consensual game they were playing. Then the 'wedding' scene sent unpleasant goose bumps down my whole body and I involuntarily let a creeped out shudder escape my lips.
The guy in this video is from a korean boy group called MBlaq, which I have not yet blogged about because I wasn't impressed enough by them to do so. I may have to now because there are only so many groups in Korea at the moment, so look forward to that. I thought he handled the whole thing very well! I probably would have been crying or screaming, or... something! When he turned his face away from her kiss, I was like, "Oh, you brave, hot, too much eye-liner wearing fool! She's crazy and you're rejecting her??' His name is Mir, by the way.
The lyrics are the girl saying that she's gone crazy and can't help but wonder where he is and who he's talking to and since he doesn't answer when she calls, she's texted him and called him a hundred times. She says that she knows she's going to lose him if she keeps acting like that but that she just can't help herself. She wonders when her heart got so sick and so on and so forth.
When the man sings, he's saying that his family and friends can't understand why he's still with her since she's so spastic. He says that her constant smothering is turning him into a mean person and before he can get any crueler she should just leave him.
I could not have been more surprised by the final scene, though looking back on it, I really should have seen it coming. And here it is, 'Going Crazy.'
So, yeah. Creepy much? Like when she imagined them dancing together? Wow, talk about delusional!
And Melissa showed me this one by Epik High. It's called Fan and it's about some one who has fallen in love with a star, or someone else who's way out of their league. It's talking about how even if the other person doesn't know they exist, they'll keep loving that person and watching them and if they'd only kiss him then he'd give them the world and so on and so forth. Sorry about the bad quality of the video. You're free to look this song up on your own and find a better version of it.
Anyway, so those were just a couple of the new artists I was introduced to last night and I thought I should share them.
More coming soon!
