I especially love that they make fun of other Kpop idol groups… and I especially especially love that they make fun of the boy bands who fake-play instruments while doing silly dance moves.

When I first saw this video by DBSK (동방신기) I was mortified.  I didn’t understand the mittens, the headbands, the ties, or the penguin back-up dancers.

I still don’t understand it, but after several hundred viewings, I have completely succumbed to their saccharin smiles and cheesy dance moves.

Similar to a Picasso or Liza Minelli dance routine, at first you wonder what the hell you’re looking at, but after a while the brilliance seeps in and you are one.

In Korea there’s no shortage of girl groups (or boy groups), but in my opinion, the Wonder Girls are a step ahead of everyone else.  I still think So Hot and Nobody are the best pop songs (and videos) to come out of Korea (along with some Hyori and Son Dambi).

That being said, I was (like all of my 13 year old girl students) so incredibly disheartened when Sun Mi decided to unexpectedly quit the group earlier this year… Of course, what I didn’t account for was that my favorite Wonder Girl, Ye Eun, would step up and fill the void (just try to not love the dimples and mis-matched tights!).

So, I don’t really love this song, but it’s worth it for the video… and seriously, how could you not fall in love with them with these pictures?

Here’s their new song, 2 Different Tears.

[I have always been brutal to Girls Generation... even when my ex kind of liked them I would start yelling.]

BUT!  The main thing you should do right now is sit down and watch the video.  It’s kind of impossible to describe, and/but it’s so bad I can’t stop watching it.

When I play it on YouTube while the class is working on an assignment I slyly stand behind the computer so I can sneak glimpses of it.

The iMac (circa 1999)… the Western hairstyles… the 438 hands-to-the-face gestures… the whole American football theme… it’s all just so overwhelming.

Just watch it…

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)

Their first single “Tell Me” sparked a national dance craze, thereby prompting me to post a video of cops doing the Tell Me Dance.  Now, my friend just sent me this video of cops doing the Nobody Dance from the Wonder Girls’ newest single.

Be sure to watch the guys on the side…

And here’s the Wonder Girls English version video (skip to 1:57… the beginning’s awful):

And this video of cops dancing to Wonder Girls’ Tell Me has to be the most fabulous thing I’ve found.  By “fabulous” I am course discounting the 5,000 years of history that have provided some of the most amazing artifacts in human existence.

The Wonder Girls seem to be one of the more popular K-pop groups — and tomorrow night they begin the American leg of their tour in Portland, OR. I tried convincing my sister to go, but she thinks celebrating her birthday with friends is more important.

Evidently this video sparked a dance craze across the country, and the video below has to be my favorite thus far. America had the Macarena several years ago, but wasn’t nearly as fun…

Here’s the original:
