Wow, violent films have completely effed me over.
Viewer discretion is advice, as the video contains extreme images of violence, and some very little nudity. But would you feel sick, if I tell you it was only one instance in the WHOLE video when I actually flinched?
Definitely a candidate for Most Talk About Video of 2010.
music video > music, though.
Well, the Korea Herald article is specifically talking about Korean prime time television, but we all know Asia is big on the gay… being with Fan Service on promos, or by actually putting these pretty people on screen.
Min’s own film, which featured a gay pastry chef, serves as a case in point. According to Min, “Antique” drew an audience that ended up being around 86 percent female.
This might explain why the vast majority of homosexual or potentially gay characters are played by attractive actors like Zo In-sung (who starred in “A Frozen Flower”) or “Coffee Prince” heartthrob Kim Jae-wook (who starred in “Antique”).
Oh, and this topic is so totally Julz, who’s disappeared. I know she’s got a lot to comment about this topic. As for me, well… if everyone [at least in America or the UK] seem to exploit girl-on-girl — the last one to do so was Christina Aguilera on her NSFW video Not Myself Tonight, courtesy of Tudou because no one else would let me stream officially… SO SUCK IT, Aguilera’s record label — I’m all for boy-on-boy. I say it, if you’re going to be exploitative, then be exploitative with all.
And that thing about it being a trend? Well, Yaoi and Yuri have been around for what feels like forever. It doesn’t matter if it’s a trend or not, as long as it’s finally normalized.
Funny thing, I don’t know if it is because most my friends follow male groups, but I’ve never seen girl-on-girl kissing in Asia… seen a lot of boy-on-boy from everywhere there though. Having that, it was so weird to have Adam Lambert dude being criticized so badly on this side of the world.
I’ve seen a lot of girl-on-girl romantic tales of friendship that never went there… maybe because that’s what girls dream about a lot. Wonder why girls read so much Yuri and Yaoi xD
OMG, I think I’ve broken my own whatever record of music heard ever.
I’ve been listening to whatever I could find for streaming. Including albums that I had no plans to listen to, but I figured I should just to say I have listened to them when giving my opinion, and not get that “well, if you don’t listen to it, how do you know it’s bad?” – you know that response, right?
So I think you’d be surprised to see what I’ve listened to.
Can I just say Abracadabra is super hot?
I listened to all of Brown Eyed Girls discography, minus singles… only albums, and maybe I did some minialbums. Can’t really recall, it’s been too much music lately. Anyway, from all the girl groups I’ve listened to lately… I liked them the best… dig their voices, and the raps somehow remind me of Lisa “Left Eye” Lopez…
Man, she was the shitz~~
TLC killed it in the VMAs 1999. Man, those were the years…
RIP, Left Eye, RIP.
I just spent all day yesterday (and still) listening to music at Haoting.
Yay for keeping updated!
I swear to kamisama that Hyori-unnie has been watching a lot of films. Last time she did Black Balloons and creepy clow in a gloomy beach, which was totally arthouse. This time around she’s totally District 9 meets The Fifth Element meets Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
I love it. xD Thanks for the Hyori video-bombarding, Julz.
Hyori in the yellow feathery coat looks like a little pollito. LOL

This video is all about group work. I mean it looks GREAT, and has one of the best uses of origami ever. Meaning if you’ve got a small budget for your music video, the best way to spend it is by getting a kickass Director of Photography. Who else will have the talent to make ANTYHING from trash to cardboard boxes look good.
Hammonck’s Chasing After Shadows… Living with the Ghosts comes out next month.
