Heeeyyyyyy kdrama/kpop peeps!
Sometime in the near futurish (within the year, probably, but not any time soon) my Korean Pop Culture™ knowledge will be put to the test because of reasons (don’t ask) but I’m a little out of touch so I feel like my knowledge is outdated.
I’m not a podcast person generally ‘cause I get super bored super quick by people talking, but I feel like that would be the best crash course to be updated on the new trends/groups/critical thinking about pop culture. Do you guys have any recommendations?
A lot of the more critically thinking tumblrs I used to follow are now shuttered, so if you have suggestions for those as well, let me know. I prefer text than audio, anyway. I’ve also stopped reading just about everything on Korean pop culture (except for a couple of blogs that I still find interesting, like The Grand Narrative) so if there’s a non-tumblr blog that you’d recommend, feel free!
Also feel free to let me know of any interesting trends/etc you think I should be aware of and I’ll be happy to do a bunny trail of obsessive researching on those.
Oh man and TVXQ is also now back.
I don’t listen to kpop very much any more, but between them and Hobaby, I’m going to be listening to their albums all day, probably all week.
(And can we talk about how amazing Changmin looks in that three-piece suit from the MV? Mmmm, yes, please…)

My beloved Hobaby has officially debuted as a solo artist with his title track, “All Eyes On Me,” and the part of me that has side-eyed a certain entertainment company couldn’t be happier.

10cm – “HELP” M/V
What medicine do I have to take
For me to fall asleep?
Actually, I know but I’m a bit nervous
I don’t want to talk about my complicated problems
But I’m so tired
Wouldn’t there be a world
Where all the people who like to torture me, disappear?
Sometimes, I ran away
Sometimes, I hid
But I always knew the ending
All the lies and things I said all day
All the stupid things I did
I’m trapped in them
Can’t someone take me out?
Before the night is over?
Help, somebody help
Somebody help
Somebody help me please tonight
Somebody help
Somebody help
Somebody help me please tonight
Is everyone the same as me
But just holding it in?
Or am I the only bad person?
Sometimes, I dream
Sometimes, I fly
But I always know the ending
All the lies and things I said all day
All the stupid things I did
I’m trapped in them
Can’t someone take me out?
Before the night is over?
Help, somebody help
Somebody help
Somebody help me please tonight
Somebody help
Somebody help
Somebody help me please tonight
When morning comes again
Will I be able to get up? Somebody help
All the things that I want to change
Will they just stay the same? Somebody help
When morning comes again
Will I be able to get up? Somebody help
All the things that I want to change
Will they just stay the same? Somebody help
When morning comes again
I must get up, somebody help
All the things that haven’t changed
I’m not ready to face them, somebody help
Somebody help

I’ve been idly watching Younger on Hulu when I want some background noise because it’s basically an American noona romance (more Baby-faced Beauty than Dalja’s Spring, though). I had to stop and give my full attention when I was like, “wait… I know that song they’re using…”
