Serious post! Will k-pop really take over the world?
Just wanted to upload a picture so the text won't end up in the corner
Little me was a nolifer yesterday so I searched on this XD
Okey it gave me a laugh but I clicked on the last one and found som articles. There's a woman called Esther Oh her article is pretty interesting where the title is "K-Pop taking over the world? Don't make me laugh". Sure my first reaction was bitch... but the things she write over there are quiet true (READ IT HERE) It's true that a lot of kpop groups have tried to take over the U.S without succeding.
You have to be "special" or stand out somehow.
I also read another article on the same page when they interviewed some citizen and asked what they thought about SNSD (Girls Generation) Most of the reaction where the same when they said that they where pretty bla bla bla or they wont really take over the US because they don't really stand out, they compare SNDS a lot with The Pussy cat dolls.
Here's some of the reactions:
Okay I was probably the bitch who chose the negative comments but the other ones where like "ohh they're okay" or "I think that they could take over" (You can read other comments here)
Hahahaha the second boy XD All the kpop fans know what you mean. When you're new in the "kpop world" every goddamn human look the same hahahaha ;D When I showed MYNAME to my friend her first comment was "Oh my god I'm sorry but ALL of them look the same O_o "

Personally I believe that kpop will be bigger but I don't really thing that they'll take over compleatly. Sure SM and YG is finally going all in when it comes to concerts in other countries. But US is still stuck on the sassy and the over sexyness like the first guy claimed. Koreans aren't that much of a scandal person. If you compare posh21 page for the american celebrities with allkpop (posh21 and allkpop is exactly the same except that allkpop is for.. korean celebrities)
Most of the post are about how this and that made hasch in the basement, is cheating, drugs alcohol etc. while in allkpop they write about comebacks, festivals and the worst one can be "bla bla bla tells she had a relationship" or "bla bla bla admits that he went through a surgery", well you get my point.
AND! Another thing. There's a lot of people in this world that don't really get the complete point with music. To completely take over US the song must probably be sung in English like the second comment boy said, and that's the problem. If these big companies want to make the groups famous abroad for example. SM, JYP, YG, LEONENT, CUBE ENT etc. they HAVE to learn every member english, at least the basic and pronunciation. Because I don't really think that the citizen would get that hooked on to korean songs. Otherwise kpop would've been bigger now.
MBLAQ is a pretty good example... many many happy... Engrish XD
Okay that's it hahahaha congratulation for you who read the whole thing :O
I'm sorry if there's some grammatic errors but I'm too lazy to read this twice XD

Jag är så jävla trött.. Men kom min kommentar fram..? Haha jag, vet inte om jag ens skrev någon. Men iaf, jag tycker att låten är väldigt amerikansk det är nog därför alla tkr om den, och att de nästan hela tiden säger put your hands up för det mesta asså, men låten och musikvideon är fett bra ;d
och ja, det är bra att du fick bo bae att gå över to the dark side(kpop sidan) ^^
