When I first moved to Korea over a year ago, I did not understand all the cuteness.  Now, after succumbing to Oh! and Balloons (quite possibly the cutest thing ever) and countless other cute things, I think it’s time I fully embraced my love of Korean cuteness.

I love Girls Generation‘s new video, Hoot.  It bothered me at first because it’s so derivative of the Wonder Girls‘ 2 Different Tears.  But while it does copy them, I ultimately don’t care because it is so much better.

I used to argue about how the Wonder Girls were superior to Girls Generation… which no longer makes sense… and Girls Generation’s music continues to improve (a feat not entirely hard to do when you’re first song is Gee).

So here is Hoot… it is cute; it will make you happy.

As you may or may not know, I LOVE the Wonder Girls.

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.

One Korean pop band I really like is the Wonder Girls.  They just finished touring with the Jonas Brothers in America and are evidently working on an English language album to be released this year.

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):

I’m moving to Korea in about 5 weeks, so my own video editing has taken a backseat to selling everything I own… however, in the process of moving I have, of course, found many wonderful things about Korea.

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:
