Korean pop music: G-Dragon

gdragon-heartbreakerWhen you live in Korea, you become completely inundated with Kpop.  This basically means that in any given month there will be several popular songs that you hear ALL THE TIME!

I know we think this happens in America when pop groups gain fleeting popularity, but please understand, IT IN NO WAY COMPARES TO KOREA.

One artist, named G-Dragon (also a member of Big Bang), has recently caught my attention because he is being barraged with claims of plagiarism.

Regardless of what you think about G-Dragon’s plagiarizing, this song has a great beat.  Also, I love the video.

I am becoming increasingly disappointed with MTV’s VMA’s… Beyonce won this year for a video that was ridiculously bad… the year before that, Britney won out of sympathy… and before that, Rihanna won for one of the worst pieces of video ever put to music.

So, in comparison to Beyonce, Britney, and Rihanna, I think G-Dragon’s video hold’s up very, very well.

Check it out:

ps, I should mention that Britney did win a Best Pop VMA for Womanizer, which she completely deserved (in my opinion)

    While I may have missed something in the translation, I think this is a cautionary tale about what happens if you eat apples too close to bed time. I think it’s a wonderful example of the kind of public health popular culture that emerges in a country with universal health care.

    On the other hand, maybe it’s, at base, just a commercial for blonde hair dye.
