Past to Present

I dig culture, art, comedy, international television, and nerdy stuff. In fact I've been into that stuff since childhood. So that's what you're gonna see. This is me - From Past to Present.

30 Day K-Pop Challenge - Day 13: A k-pop group you dislike and why Chocolat is a group I dislike because their voices sound nasally and whiny, and their company forces them to do overtly sexual dances while wearing skimpy outfits despite the fact that some of the members are only 14 years old. The fact that they were also marketed with all the stress being on their half-white members seemed to be added pressure to like them in order to not seem racist. You may disagree with me, and I do concede that a lot of it is not their fault, but I cannot support a group marketed that way. If people reward companies that market artists in that way than groups will continue to market underage girls as sex objects rather than talented singers and I won’t stand for it. *Rant Over*

30 Day K-Pop Challenge - Day 12: The very first k-pop song you’ve ever heard

비 - Rain Is Coming

The year was 2006. Stephen Colbert and Rain were having a feud over who was more influential, and my stepfather and I were trying to figure out what the big deal was. This didn’t get me hooked on K-Pop, but it was my first impression of it.

30 Day K-Pop Challenge - Day 7: A k-pop song that makes you cry

This technically isn’t “K-Pop,” but it is a Korean song that comes from a popular artist in Korea so there. Whether or not you understand all the lyrics, you can feel the emotion in the song. Especially after you read his story (I know it’s lengthy, but it’s definitely worth the read! Soooo moving). This man was the victim of the most brutal example of cyber bullying I’ve ever heard of, and I’m surprised he came through the other side. You know it’s bad when Ashton Kutcher tweets to tell people to stop, and he didn’t even know the guy.

2NE1 - Follow Me (Try To Copy Me)

This song is what really made me fall for 2NE1. I thought “I just found my Korean Spice Girls!” Even though I really love several of their songs, I always come back to this one.
