Kids React to K-pop

Uploaded by TheFineBros on Jan 8, 2012

To be fair, I did watch a few of these 'Kids React' videos because I wanted to get a better feel for the kids themselves, because quite frankly I was kind of outraged and dismayed. So after I calmed down a bit, let me just say that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I guess now I can appreciate their raw views and comments. 'Kids say the darnedest things' And to be fair there are a few gems here, like the Youtube comment and 'Tokio Hotel' I'm semi-impressed that one of the kids were even AWARE of them. Also that the kids were pc enough to say Asian. Hell one of the kids even knew Kpop stood for Korean Pop! 

Some of the things I DIDN'T like..."they all look the same" and " I want to listen to music I can understand" and "they look Emo" Super Junior? Emo? Seriously? I could see if it was a picture of SHINee doing Lucifer, they have even been called 'Gothic Lite' by foreign press which I found interesting but, Super Junior? I'm baffled.

I guess I'm most dismayed by the lack of open mindedness. Change is hard, I guess even kids are scared of things that are different. I really thought (hoped?) that each new generation would be more accepting than the last. I guess I'm delusional.....

"Can't we all just get along?".....*big sigh*...I guess its not such a Small World after all.

On the other hand, I really enjoyed Linzer Dinzer's reaction to 'Kids React'

Korean versus Japanese Music Videos

There is something I've been noticing as more and more Korean stars are releasing their tracks in Japanese. This may be an older song, but it shows what I am talking about.

Do you see the differences? Here are some stills from the first few seconds of both videos.

Korean Version

Japanese Version

The Japanese version is much more colorful, lively, and energetic.

Now let's take a more recent release, 2NE1's Go Away.

I really like this video, even if it's a bit dark. Now are you ready for this?

Do you see the difference? It's amazing really. I liked the original Korean version a lot more but of course that's a matter of opinion. The Japanese version is much more upbeat and colorful, but it lacks the story and emotional connect the Korean version gives us.

Now for one last comparison, T-ara's yayaya

Again, the Korean version is telling a story, while the Japanese version is much more colorful. I think this has to do with the vast differences between Japanese and Korean cultures. Korea is more reserved, while Japan is more free.

In the end though, which music video you enjoy the most is really up to your own personal opinion, whether you like the fun colorfulness of the Japanese music videos, or the more emotional and story driven Korean music videos. Whatever you like, it's always fun to sit back and watch these music videos!
